I just can't get into the TACS. Why he doesn't realize that every radio guy from a hack in the smallest market to Rush Limbaugh does "angry rants". The heart of Loveline, was the character analysis. It was like sitting at the mall with the two sharpest people watchers in the universe. e: im not sure if its been mentioned, but I just listened to the 1999 Pennywise episode where Fletcher barricaded himself in the sound booth, took drew and adam hostage and threatened to go to "Poo Poo City". its a must listen if you guys havent heard it yet. the powerlessness in the voice of Adam trying to charm, and Drew trying to reason with this 6'6 300lb inebriated giant is hilarious.

I listened to the Loveline shows as they aired originally and one thing that was repeated on those shows really stuck with me. Adam and Drew, at various times and in different ways, repeated that if a father doesn't treat his daughter well, she'll grow up to be his nightmare. Don't take care of your daughter, you're sending her straight to the stripper pole, guys. A woman is screwed up, think first "Where's her father? What did he do?".

So my girlfriend had to take emergency contraception today and on the bottle it says "levonorgestrel" and I started laughing like a hyena and she wanted to know why so I had to put http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ETuKu7Cq32I on and she didn't find it amusing. Here's to hoping it works!

CatchrNdRy posted:any rumors if drew's kids are going crazy? In an old loveline Adam made the comment that it wouldn't be more than few years before they called the show. Sooo weird... Just last night I listened to 5-11-03 with Dr Bruce filling in because Drew had surgery and Adam in the middle of the show (I think Adam might have been drinking at JKL) and he just starts laying into Drew about him doing coke and going on binges. I actually thought it was kind of cruel since well... It's Drew and he wasn't there to defend himself. Weird.

Judakel posted:This was all just sparked by one of his bootstraps rants. The way he talks about it makes it seem as if Adam honestly believes that there is more separating him from being dirt poor than just sheer luck. The tremendous talent that got him that sitcom he was working on perhaps? The Hammer has been the only halfway decent thing he has ever produced on his own and it is clear that by his own means he could not have accomplished even half of what he has accomplished in his life. The main thrust of his argument is that "if you're talented and work hard, you're going to go places, and if you're not, you won't." So, he throws luck out the window and says that he's where he's at just by pure talent and hard work. But, he abandons this line of thinking with The Hammer, which was denied from Sundance because of what Carolla says is outside sources (the liberals at Sundance don't want the Man Show guy showing a movie, etc). Why Carolla can so clearly see that a biased third party can affect one's career in a negative way but not a positive way is beyond me...

Judakel posted:I don't think Adam realizes how much of a factor the sheer luck of meeting Jimmy was in providing him with all the opportunities he has had in his life. Even his ongoing success in broadcasting is largely based around the lucky fact that Drew plays such a natural straight-man and hardly a product of his own hard work given his attitude towards Loveline. The fanbase created during those years has been the main reason he has had a semi-successful career after Loveline at all. I am sure some loved his work afterwards on its own merits but they pale in comparison to those that prefer his work on Loveline. Yeah, I think this is probably Adam's central "too human" issue, at least when it comes to expressing his views: he has strong principles, but he's inconsistent in holding true to them. As I pointed out earlier, you can see it in his positions on torture: evidence suggests that torture, doesn't work, but hey, humans have been doing it for ten thousand years, so there must be some value to it. On the other hand, religion and astrology? Retarded superstition. Obviously, this is a pretty common problem for people to have, but it doesn't make it any less frustrating when it comes from someone you otherwise respect.

I still have my 1996 "Christmastime in the LCB" cassette with them both on there doing their respective skits.

And history books that he's never read. It depends how exactly you're defining "worse" but I'd say by any measure, Stalin was at least as bad as Hitler. Hitler just overshadows a whole period of awful people, so Stalin, Mao, and Tojo really get off lightly. The only historical inaccuracy there was Truman was as or more hostile toward Stalin than Stalin was toward him, and should share in the blame for the Cold War.

There's nothing to debate, the Soviet records are pretty complete. The real numbers are quite a bit lower than the estimates floating around before we got access to them, but we're still talking a minimum of around ten million people (not counting war dead). It wasn't an organized genocide like the Holocaust but I don't think that makes it better. And this is all assuming a "number of people killed = amount of badness" way of looking at things, which is nonsense.

Counting some of the war dead would make sense, because what's the real difference between a civilian dying at the hand of their own government, and a civilian getting drafted and thrown in front of a machine gun with no weapon or ammo?

That opens up all kinds of cans of worms, it's easier to just not count war dead in these situations. For example, yeah, the Soviets had massive massive casualties. What was Stalin supposed to do though, let the Nazis take over? They didn't have a lot of options. If the Nazis hadn't invaded there wouldn't have been the slaughter, and Stalin wasn't responsible for the invasion. And this is just scratching the surface, so as I said, easier not to include them. The no weapon thing is largely a myth though so you're not helping.

I usually fast forward through it. On another note, I found another awkward "Adam chews out Drew live on air" moment. This one was pretty bad, because it was in front of guests. 3/15/200 - Mo Collins & Debra Wilson about halfway through the show, Adam starts berating Drew for concentrating on his computer instead of the show for like 5 minutes straight.
