Haha, good to hear. Was there some kind of bitterness involved in his leaving (aside from the fact that he loving sucks)? This is enough to make me start listening again.

He seemed a bit pissed but was trying to stay cool about it. I guess they emailed him a few weeks ago to essentially say the show's budget was getting cut and they needed to talk with him. The staff was aware he was leaving but were not talking about it. About halfway through the show he said "no hard feelings" but they were not paying him anymore so he was just going to leave. Drew said he was sorry he has to go and blamed the economy. Anne gave a quick "sorry" and Anderson said "I hated you when you first got here, but I came around and I'm glad I got to piss you off all the time." They hit commercials and came back to Drew taking calls without another mention. At the end Drew gave another thanks to Stryker before being interrupted by Anderson saying who was the guest for the next day.

If you watched the Adam Carolla Project they filmed Adam's last day and Drew seemed almost as if he didn't believe he was really moving on.

Wouldn't it be great if Adam came back and we could just act like that whole "Stryker" period didn't happen? It'd be like when Brian from Family guy visits Germany, and there's a big gap in their art history timeline from 1939-1944. Like, what was going on then? What, oh, we were just busy making with other things.

It was adam and his school buddy crew renovating a house. I saw one episode (all I could find), and it was pretty funny, but they censored the swearing. So, like, every 6th word.

It was funny though.

The series lasted one season, is no longer played, and didn't get picked up for DVD. The upside is that the entire run is on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6IUE66qVd7c

It's definitely the most entertaining home improvement show ever made, though that isn't really saying much.

I will be gone, but not forever.
I didn't realize that TACP filmed Adam's last Loveline appearance. I got to the second to the last episode and kind of forgot to finish the season so this will make me finish it out. I highly recommend that Adam fans check it out. It's completely weird to hear this world that you've only seen in glimpses (Adam's storries, Ray & Ozzie on TACS, Donnie on the podcast) in a much more day to day context.

I will never understand how Adam thought it was a good idea to sink his money into an investment that required Ray to actually get stuff done.

Edit: It was suggested on the Carolla forums that we write letters to Westwood One (None? Two?) and tell them we'd listen to Loveline again if they get Carolla back.

The infuriating thing about him is that he's had this stuff explained to him on many occasions and still says "Hey, we don't know everything, I'm just asking the questions."

Donny doesn't seem too bright, but I love when he starts laughing like a hyena in the background. My favorite was when someone asked Adam a family question, in the "Don't your parents have pictures of you?" vein and Donny just went into hysterics. It's one thing when Adam does, but having the independent verification was just fantastic to me.

Wow, stryker left. I know I'm gonna get some flack for this, but I feel sort of sorry for him. Yeah, I think he kinda sucks, but he took a whole lot of poo poo for it and he apparently didn't make it through it alive. If nothing else, I hope he lands somewhat on his feet because I'm already running low on karma points and I'm going to feel bad if everything gets hosed up for him.

That being said, I'm insanely psyched that Adam is going to be a guest for a week. One thing, though, didn't he say that he can't get paid for anything because of his contract with NBC (or some other company)?

Don't feel sorry for him. It was a job, he sucked at it, and then he got laid off. They said on his final show that he is still DJing for another station and is hosting some new VH1 show. He'll manage.

C'mon, cut the dude some slack. He spent high school painting a mural of a Ford Bronco on the side of the tard bungalow.

I haven't listened to the Rogan podcast yet. When I saw that he was on my first thought was, "I wonder if they can stay away from the 'I take this concentrated dose of a drug produced by your brain and see visions of aliens and poo poo and it's all totally real n' junk.'" I guess they weren't.

"Hey, Stryker! Yeah, we just shitcanned the beloved host of Loveline after ten years on the air, and we were thinkin', you know what? You would be a great replacement! All you have to do is go out there and be ten times better than Adam, and they'll come around eventually!"

I am all that is man.
He didn't suck because he had to follow a tough act, he sucked because he was a horrible host. He wasn't funny, and all he did was bombard guests with stupid questions in rapid-fire and give inane advice that he obviously thought was funny, but wasn't.


On the other hand, I tried to listen a couple nights ago with Drew and Anderson, but Tom Green was the guest. My god that guy's annoying. He wouldn't shut the gently caress up, and kept inturrupting to say anything, whether it was funny or not. Then Drew would be trying to talk, and he'd start to do this annoying laughing/breathing thing where he would breathe really fast and loud through his nose into the mic, as if he just thought of something really funny. After about 45 seconds of him, I screamed at the radio and turned it off.
