vote_no posted:ZONE 105 was a Minneapolis station, so I get the "local affiliate feeling" quite often. My favorite SEXWORLD commercial was Bill Clinton cleaning out his office. That place still stands, open 24 hours; a relic of the seedy days of yore. I can't imagine they actually sell much porn these days, so they must have diversified, but I'm afraid to find out how. I might have been too young to remember 105 at the time, but I still get that nostalgic feeling when they mention 93.7. I don't remember that station playing Loveline though, I always listened to it on 97.1

Despite having been the home station I don't recall hearing a bumper for KROQ on the archive I have. Also that really long commercial for that strip club that has that chick reading sexy words from a thesaurus. "Passion ... Pounding ... Intense ... Erotic "

Those same boys are now contractors calling in to his podcast and telling him how he inspired them to start peeing in the sink regardless of what their bitch wife says.

I forgot how funny those were, I haven't heard them in forever. That'd be awesome if they sprinkled them in on the new podcast episodes. Actually that'd be a fun editing project to do if you could find clean versions of the PSAs somewhere.

There should be a question mark there but both the shift keys on my keyboard mysteriously stopped working. He's gradually become less and less in touch with reality as he's become more successful, and seems to think that because he was poor once when he was young that he understands poverty completely, and that anybody who is poor pretty much made the bed they lay in. Additionally, he seems to have become a total misogynist, and he actually treats his staff on his show worse then he treated people like Anderson and engineer Chris. Essentially, Adam has become a typical entitled well off white male who feels that somebody making 15K should pay the same amount of taxes as he does (although that's a holdover attitude from his Loveline days, it's become a hot button issue for him). It should be noted he used to be way more centered politically and I distinctly remember him having a good conversation with Patton Oswalt and Brian Posehn, who were doing a benefit show for John Kerry about why people should vote for John Kerry instead of Bush, and Adam actually did a good job of explaining why the rationale of "Anybody but Bush" was not a great attitude and how he wasn't sold on Kerry. He also thinks there's nothing wrong with Glenn Beck and that Glenn is just "a guy who loves his country and family". El Gallinero Gros fucked around with this message at 18:41 on May 16, 2013 |

Those "not one more" spots seem to have vanished, however some hero did upload a few of the best ones to youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nXKnsFcLrUM Audio is kinda bad though, I cleaned it up some but the podcast is such good quality that any audio issues stick out.

"Wisdom? You want to know what mahalo means? It means mahalo jack rear end" -Adam Carolla not answering a callers question about the meaning of mahalo after Adam and Drew spent 5 unfulfilled minutes asking about the callers name, Wisdom. Goddamn, the 4th qtr 2000 episode of "This Year" is top to bottom gold, I'm even hearing bits I hadn't heard before. Edit: And to get super depressing for a second. On the classic loveline feed, episode 89, 1/30/96 there is a caller named James (33), he starts talking about getting off of heroin and joining the navy, he claims to be sober but as the call moves along it comes out that he is not in any program and has been clean for a week (which in addict years is essentially nothing and just a dry period where you cant score.) Drew points out to James that heroin addicts in their early 30's without a structured program for quitting have a 0% probability of getting to 50. As I was listening to the call I realized I am listening to a show recorded in 1996, I started doing the mental math and then realized James is now dead from his addiction. It's the kind of thing I think of when doing two things, listening to old loveline and browsing nude selfies that have dates stamped in, where are they now? When listening to old loveline it's goofy/screwed up teens with all these crazy problems and I'm so used to listening to loveline live over the years that it's not until sometime later in the day it occurs to me that the crazy 16 year old that was trying meth and blowing half the school is actually in their 30's now and my peer.

I didn't even think about that but you're right, unless there was some miraculous event that got that guy into recovery he's probably gone.On the happier side, that same episode had this 15 year old kid who was talking about a girl he met in school who told him about all the terrible stuff she'd gone through already in her life and how hearing all that made him want to not get involved with her. He'd be 32 now, I was just thinking that a kid with that kind of insight at 15 probably did well for himself. This has been brought up already, but the callers from 1996 sounded so much more engaged than in the later years. They're lucid, get to the point, and even fairly intelligent a lot of times. What happened in the next few years?

That 15 yr old was pretty great and that's such a tough call as instinct says to tell that boy to run and never look back but that isn't really the right answer at that age, more something you would tell a 25 yr old. I think as the show got more popular over the years the pool of callers got larger, allowing for a more diverse range of dumbasses. Although I haven't listened to new shows in the last 6 months I assume it's mostly the same show and that's what kinda bugs me. I know loveline alone won't solve it but the fact that almost 20 years later kids are still having the exact same problems tells me there is a giant gaping hole in how we teach and raise our youth.

And even politely greet the guest! I think calling a late night radio show when you are desperate and feel alone, seemed like a much more "personal" thing before the age of internet distraction and constant interaction. Also screeners probably had different protocl. I haven't listened to current Loveline since Simone left, but the amount of obviously fake or douchebaggy calls (that Adam would have sniffed out) seemed much higher.

It's not super surprising that when LL went national and Adam and Drew got famous and they got a TV show on late 90s MTV that the pool from which to draw calls from got more retarded I mean, that kind of exposure I think suppresses smart people from calling, but brings in so many stoned teenagers into the fold. Listening through the years, there is a marked increase from rednecks with stupid redneck problems (I am from Alabama, I can say things like that) WDIIA fucked around with this message at 04:31 on May 22, 2013 |

It also seemed that every caller in that era was from: 1) Minnesota 2) a part of LA Adam hated, 3) Tucson (where Stryker made his start as a terrible local DJ). Maybe those were the only markets. I know the East Coast wasn't syndicated till much later as they had that "Love Phones" with a Love Doctor!WDIIA posted:It's not super surprising that when LL went national and Adam and Drew got famous and they got a TV show on late 90s MTV that the pool from which to draw calls from got more retarded Are the MTV episodes worth watching?

They must have been expanding pretty significantly during the period that the Classic Loveline podcast has covered so far. I noticed in the early episodes they were usually getting to all the callers and often callers had obviously only been on hold for a few minutes since they were calling in to respond to something said by a caller two or three calls previous. The last episode they put up mentioned someone being on hold ninety minutes. I'm honestly amazed that Loveline is still able to generate callers. In the mid to late nineties kids all had clock radios and most listened to the radio at night. It wouldn't surprise me if Loveline was listened to by 25% of high school kids on a nightly basis at it's peak. The internet wasn't a nearly as common as it is now and the medical info you could get was limited at best. 15 years later, almost every kid has a smartphone/laptop/tablet and high speed internet access. Heck, many probably use their cell phones as alarms and don't even have a radio and will seek the answers to their questions on the internet. Best caller I've heard so far is the 13 year old kid whose Grandma walks in during the call and talks to Adam and Drew about Led Zepplin.

Listening to 1999-04-13, and Adam announces his brand new catchphrase: "Totally healthy, totally normal." Like, he actually announced it as his new thing. He's stumbling over using it, too. It's... cute in a way Interesting how things evolved. Still no "Good Times," "Shocking," or Junior College digs yet. Really good episode by the way. Edit: And then in the next episode, a great quote from Bryan Herta: "When you have a son, you have to worry about one penis. When you have a daughter,you have to worry about all the penises."
