Seasons & Episode
Cousin Stevie joins Adam in this 4th season opener (which was filmed last summer) in recruiting ladies for the "Radio Olympics". Meanwhile, Stevie and his wife Amy have a new addition to the family, an exotic dog.
The day had to come! Brady is asking about sex and who better than dad, one of the most responsible and popular adult business entrapreneurs, to explain it. Cousin Stevie is giving a moment to moment, blow by blow of roller derby as only can be seen on a series like this!
Adam has a housewarming and Mirna plans it with Stevie. Lila shops for a new car during her late mid-life crises.
Stevie remarried his wife of many years in a Vegas wedding featured last season. Now it's time for the 2nd honeymoon to go with that wedding and what better place for an adult-business entrepreneur, but the string bikini, topless party island of St. Maarten?
Stevie is off to NY while Adam struggles and stresses to launch his new party bus business.
Adam and Mirna attend a swingers convention, complete with new adult toys and unbelievable items we're still awaiting word on (what are they?) Stevie launches his own adult oriented 'support our troops' line.
Last season we met Adam's brother and tonight, Adam's sister proves to be one of the 'village' that's raising the child (Brady). Stevie makes an ill advised trip to Seattle and Lila makes perhaps an even more ill advised trip to a gun range.
Adam is never better than when he's eloquently and intelligently defending the right to free speech. This isn't just to further his own agenda in the adult entertainment business, but he seems sincerely dedicated to the cause overall. Better yet, he's not advocating free speech as an excuse to behave badly, illegally or immorally. Stevie strives to drive up membership for the Free Speech Coalition.

In this season's finale, Mirna ends the relationship and Adam goes into therapy. With all these naked, willing women around him, why can't he get one to stay?
