This is my favorite drop. It doesn't get played very often, but the originating call was hilarious. Anderson put that on a cart after 20 seconds after she said it and kept playing it at the perfect times during the call. It took Adam and Drew until about 3/4 through the call before they realized what was going on.

It's like the "That's the beauty of it; it doesn't do anything!" quotation phenomenon - everyone thinks they've heard the original, but no one is ever able to actually provide a source. I know I did because I was aware of all this before I knew what a quest it was online. He was trying to cheer someone up, that I remember. Someone had called in super depressed, didn't think life was going anywhere and Adam went into his thing about how long and deep his loserdom was before even his dumb rear end became successful. Maybe that was one I actually listened to on the radio back in the dark ages and I don't actually have a copy, it's hard to say.

Most of you do not listen to the new show nightly I imagine. So I will just tell you that ever since Simone came on there have been no drops allowed. He briefly mentioned it on a preshow he did 10 minutes before the actual show, saying that new people want to format the hell out of the show and make it suitable for a larger audience. This means the guests stay only 45 minutes and not the whole show. Most shows I would be fine with this, but LL only occasionally has any guests these days and they get people that have been in there 20 times and is interesting as hell. But nope, 45 minutes. Also, no Word Game Called Stinky Pinky anymore because I don;t know what the hell to be honest. They stopped for weeks, then did the last 2 minutes of the show as SP. Now it is never done  As I mentioned, the 'no drops' rule is insane. That is part of the show, Anderson can do them perfectly and it should come back. Also, there is an "open forum" for 30 minutes where despite the name, callers just call on one subject. For half a loving hour. And the questions are beyond lame/predictable such as:"why do you not use condoms" "marriage, outstanding or outdated" "How do you know when a relationship is over" "best pickup lines" This is every night, for half an hour of the exact same answers. But the worst, I mean the worst is the addition of "Simone's Takeaway." This is where she reads an article from Cosmo or a crazy study done overseas and takes it as truth, and she passes it along as truth. This time of the show is when Drew stares off into space looking annoyed, I mean he has always hated those drat magazines. Now it is a main part of the show. And 9 out of 10 times he won't call BS just out of courtesy, but if it is a serious topic but wrong he will try to convince Simone for the whole show about why it is wrong. Callers still dmub. edit: tonight's open forum question is What's the strangest place you've ever had sex?!?  WouldDesk fucked around with this message at 07:05 on Mar 5, 2012 |

UltimoDragonQuest posted:Loveline drop origins spreadsheet is awesome. Awesome, thanks for that. In the mean time, I found another "No!" drop that I couldn't stop laughing at. On the 2004-10-24 show, last caller of the night, Doug calls in with a bogus Mason Jar call. Doug blurts out a creepy "No!" that Anderson carts in exactly 48 seconds and then proceeds to play about 50 times in machine gun fashion while Doug joins in and Adam and Drew bust up. I even put it in helpful Youtube format! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xytejss-miY FCKGW fucked around with this message at 07:50 on Mar 5, 2012 |

Most shows I would be fine with this, but LL only occasionally has any guests these days and they get people that have been in there 20 times and is interesting as hell. But nope, 45 minutes. I intermix classic, pre-Simone and current LL. Simone is not great, but she is still better than Stryker. Simone would be tolerable under the old format, but she has way too much sway under the new format. Drew at least still will stand up to her when she is terribly wrong. The worst is the weird polite way they interact with the dumbass callers. "Thank you for calling we really appreciate it, I know that must've been hard" It seems so forced. So many calls I'm just thinking "you're fat" or "you're gay" would just be so perfect, but nada. I don't mind the lack of guests, Adam could easily work with a bad guest and it wouldn't take away from the show. I think Mike brings a lot to the table, but he definitely kisses guests rear end in a boring way. They totally ignore bogus calls, Adam and Drew would pick up and interrogate every hint of bogusity back in the day, and now suddenly its 2012 and NO ONE is bogus?

Yes indeed, Loveline is dead and I was a fan of Mike and even had a subscription for the year that ended back in October right when the show tanked. I wish I saved a copy of the reason I submitted for cancelling when they ask why you are not renewing because it was pretty drat good. Mostly brought up a lot of points that people have mentioned in this thread as of recent. The whole "wider audience" being complete BS because they've lost more stations and listeners than they've gained. I would love to see the ratings for that show. Time to start a fund so that we can buy out Loveline from the shitbags who own it now (it shouldn't cost much) and just let the people who know what the gently caress they've been doing for 15+ years do their jobs. edit: UltimoDragonQuest posted:Loveline drop origins spreadsheet is awesome.

The Apprentice is actually a really good show from what I've seen over the years. It's also completely awesome to see three of my favorite celebrities in Adam, Lou Ferrigno, and Paul Teutle Sr. on a show together. Dr. Drew, Adam, David Allen Grier, and ICP would be a hilarious group to watch perform these tasks.

A lot of people will probably disagree with me but I think Aubrey is absolutely, stunningly beautiful. Lou, Adam, and Andretti are probably the worst on the guy's team, which pains me to say. Paul Teutle, Penn, and Clay Aiken (surprisingly) seem like the most competent. Lisa Lampanelli and Aubrey seem like the best on the women's team.

Oh my god, I hadn't listened to much Loveline since Simone started on the show, but I can barely even get through the show now. Not to echo too much of the sentiment that's been posted on here. I pine for the show of a year ago with just Drew and Mike; Mike's voices are the best kind of radio-zoo-esque material. I listen now and it's just sterilized to the point of having no character at all. The Open Forum just wastes a quarter of the show on people rushing furiously to agree with one another. Tonight is "all in if you are in an interracial relationship" and everyone is just agreeing that racism is bad over and over. Really informative and interesting. At least I still have the After Disaster and the archives.

How can so many people be so clearly wrong about quality and entertainment? Remember the stories of how bad radio is and how clueless everyone in management is when it comes to comedy? The stuff that Adam railed against for 10 years? You're seeing it in action. Simone was placed in the show to appeal to female listeners and the standard talk show formula being applied to this show to try and get "caller engagement". I haven't listened to any of the new shows. Have they been taking less of the real heavy calls, like the molestation and rape calls? They haven't started adressing callers by city/state, have they?

I haven't been listening VERY recently, but yeah the callers seem a bit toothless and generally more pleasant. They certainly aren't referred to as "the world's dumbest audience" anymore, they treated with kid gloves. Especially compared to the late 90s full moon episodes where every caller was just dripping crazy and weird.

The line at the end now is some variation of "in a world where it doesn't feel like anyone cares, we do." So basically it's the opposite of Adam, which I think is what they were going for.

Listened to the Portia de Rossi episode from like 1997, really kind of awkward and weird, considering she hadn't come out at the time and Adam is relentless hitting on her and talking about her looks.
