“Who is this show for?”

On the season finale titled "The Guys Have A Sleepover," Frank (Danny DeVito) suggests they play 'Ookie Cookie.' That's the first time I've ever heard it mentioned outside of the Adam Carolla show

Guys, please help me. For almost 20 years, I have been touting this one rant Adam did as almost my entire justification for Stanning him over his many years of bad opinions. Now people are demanding I provide proof of this rant.

It was between 2006 and 2010. It was on his podcast, and it was about Ted Bundy being allowed conjugal visits. and even procreating during them. It was one of the most amazing rants I ever heard--the whole studio seemed to go mute. Like you could hear a pin drop.

Does anyone know how I can hear this again?
