In case anyone hasn't heard, Allison Rosen from Adam's podcast recently did a couple of hour-long interviews with Drew about his life (part 1, part 2). They're a decent listen.

I'm a little torn on whether or not I like Allison Rosen (she's alright I guess, but I don't go out of my way to listen to her podcast), but these are pretty good. I like hearing about the history of Drew; there doesn't seem to be a lot of it.

Still, the best story about Young Drew is about having to go to Chinatown to buy condoms.

Well drat, I like her a little more already. The only thing that really stands out about her on the Adam Carolla podcast is that she says "oval office" at the end of her news segment for no apparent reason and that she knows almost as little about politics, economics and world issues as Adam.

I'm not sure where you are getting that, she's very smart and funny, and has some excellent asides. She just has a tendency to bite her tongue because Adam shouts down anyone who disagrees with him. Especially if they're on his payroll.

She mentioned something to Doug Benson about how she got the job by following his advice to keep her mouth mostly shut.

I'm glad to see they seem to be still putting up Classic Loveline, they'd stopped for almost a month and I was wondering if that was it. Is the 1/03/1996 episode the origin of one of the Dr. Drew "whatever" drops? It's about 1:29:49, a caller calls in and is asking about uncircumcised penises and Riki asks Drew if they look like dog penises.

1996 era Drew sounds almost depressed in a lot of shows. It's like him and Carolla have switched personalities since then, Carolla was so energetic and happy and Drew was mostly just no-nonsense and didn't really engage with most of the show's humor.

Long ago when she first joined the podcast and was trying to think of a sign off phrase, Carolla glibly tossed out "zip it, oval office" and it just gained momentum. It's unfortunate because it just sounds like they're trying to be shocking or something but it's really just an inside joke that's gone on forever. As for her political views, she's done TV and stuff in the past and I believe she's pretty liberal, but she wasn't hired on to the podcast to argue with him. And yeah if you listen to her podcast with Doug Benson from a while ago they talk about that some.

Never listened to Adam's podcast because I hate how he acts when Drew isn't there to control him, so I haven't heard Allison before. I will definitely listen to the Drew episode though, I'd love to hear more about him. I honestly think Drew is a great guy and genuinely think he wants to help as many people as possible, that Stanhope bit about him made me pretty annoyed.

It's hilarious how uncomfortable and/or unwilling Drew was in the Riki era when it came to off-color stuff. Riki and Adam were making sexual jokes about Disney characters or something in one episode and Drew was freaking the gently caress out.

I don't mind it too much because I actually listened to the partial episode recently because I'm going through the "1998" episodes at the moment, so it was nice to have a little clarity about it.

The whole "Carolla era" thing is a bit much I agree though.

Wow I didn't realize Giovanni did an intro, the ones you grab from Itunes are free of that. As much as he's apparently helped getting stuff like this to happen, he kinda creeps me out, and I don't need to hear him orating about the history of podcasting and the "evolution of Adam Carolla and Dr. Drew's chemistry".

Well gently caress. Looks like the shows have also started being very spergily numbered starting with the latest ones, 1/17/1996 is apparently #79 of "the Carolla era"... Giovanni must have really wormed his way into the process. There's something wrong with that guy.

I was cool with it until the latest one. It was just a quick bit of trivia and then onto business, but in this latest one he did a synopsis and brought up his favorite jokes. It's horrible. Just throw it in the show notes, dude.

I also love that old episodes of Loveline are coming back, but the 'preview' beforehand kind of ruins the experience. When I listen to an episode I've never heard before, part of the fun is not knowing what to expect. Maybe there's a bad night occasionally, but it's always worth it when a phone sex operator who doesn't know about the holocaust comes out of nowhere.

I'm losing sleep and years of life trying to make this work perfect, I made this podcast go from unranked for almost 30 days all the way to #11 on the itunes comedy charts in less than 48hrs, I am not pulling punches or going half speed on this!

I've made it very clear what my intent is, I want the files out ASAP, I'm exploring any possible means that exist.
There is no ordering nor commanding these files, we have to work with them and help them to get what we want, it's quite simple and wouldn't be happening without what the fans have built these past 17yrs.
We were never supposed to get these tapes, they "didn't exist" and were never even admitted to until an interview on the Get It On podcast #17, so you're welcome!

Also, he's a racist men's rights rear end in a top hat.

Based on her tweets she has a pattern of behavior and thought when it comes to white men. She's a hypocrite and a racist, this has nothing to do with Tech nor women's role in the field. She's an angry person with misplaced aggression towards people with white male genitalia.
