·54 min·5 clips

Adam Carolla announces Ace on the House is going on hiatus, leaving listeners wondering when it will return.

Adam Carolla opens the episode by announcing that Ace on the House is going on hiatus, as he is cutting back on shows to free up his schedule. He and co-host Eric Stromer then discuss personal projects, with Carolla mentioning he injured his hand while drilling screws. The first caller, Steve from Raleigh, North Carolina, asks for advice on building a 48-inch teak slat wall to separate his living room and kitchen, struggling with attachment and alignment. Carolla and Stromer suggest using glue and clamps for the spacers and possibly all-thread rod, advising against drilling into the tile floor. They share a humorous anecdote about Carolla and Dr. Drew being chased by sorority girls while jogging near a college campus during the height of Loveline. The hosts then answer an email about replacing bifold pantry doors with French doors, recommending checking Home Depot or using beads as an alternative. Another email from Ian in South Carolina concerns a wooden front door that is misaligned, with the top corner sticking out a quarter inch; Carolla and Stromer explain how to adjust the hinge mortise using a chisel and router. A question from Chris in Maryland involves a loose stair railing bracket attached only with finish nails; they propose removing the nails and using a timber screw drilled at an angle into a stud. Chris also asks about repairing a windowsill chewed by puppies, leading to suggestions of using epoxy putty or cutting and replacing the wood. The episode includes promotional spots for Blindsgalore.com and O'Reilly Auto Parts. Carolla and Stromer debate the greatest tool innovation, with Stromer favoring the oscillating multi-tool and Carolla leaning toward the impact driver. Carolla announces upcoming comedy shows in Vegas and Naples, Florida. The episode concludes with Carolla performing Lorne Greene's 1964 song 'Ringo,' a ballad about a gunslinger, and a final promo for Pluto TV.
