That's the problem with Adam. He went from pretty poor to pretty rich really quick. He'll never understand anything besides that, because that's what he thinks happens when you get a good hold on those bootstraps.

Adam has used the word "gestalt" like seven times in the last three episodes. Usually incorrectly. Any idea where he picked that up?

My only problem with her is that she feels kinda phony. She's a little too happy and agreeable, but then again she's still new and probably doesn't want to share Alison's fate. "Gina, do you have one more story?" "You got it!"

I think fake bubbliness is what Adam wants since every "news girl" has filled that persona - even Theresa although she got the most slack and freedom to be herself. Evidently the correlation between letting people be themselves and getting good work out of them is lost on Adam or August or whoever actually in charge.

Her entire career has been "generic female radio sidekick". Exactly what Opie & Anthony used to refer to as "the hole". It shouldn't be surprising since Adam has tried his hardest to turn the podcast into a generic morning drive show. Wacky sound effects, female sidekick fake laughing at everything, and taking calls from idiots. The show was much better when it was more free form.

Let's play the David Wild song, and then before he tells his story, I'm going to need to hear the Deacon Jones clip again.

Is anyone still listening? Any episodes worth downloading? Saw this article about Carolla's show. Says they made over $2 million in profit last year. Pretty impressive. Noticed the ads are getting much more mainstream. Can't believe how much they make off Amazon too. http://www.mediapost.com/publications/article/246137/two-headed-goat-the-podcast.html

I listened to a few over the holidays when I was travelling. I actually think Adam might be mentally ill. This has nothing to do with his politics or his choice in guests either. He explains how people would leave coffee mugs around and not clean them out. So he went through and gave everyone their own coffee mug with their name on it and tracks to see if people are washing them out when they are finished. This is a middle-aged man who is a "literal millionaire" obsessed with a few dirty coffee mugs in an office. In another episode he brings in his unwashed racing suit and forces Bryan and Gina to smell it to prove that his sweat doesn't smell. They are clearly uncomfortable with this but he insists over and over for them to keep smelling it. Now this stuff wouldn't be bad if it was setup as some "radio bit" that everyone laughed over. But he was dead serious on these things. And that's why the show sucks now. He makes no effort to be funny anymore. He's either preaching about how great he is or complaining about the most meaningless stuff in a serious manner. He's also really angry all the time and lashes out at everyone. Not even sure why Drew bothers to come in anymore with the way he is treated.

I'm a pretty big Carolla fan and I will continue to listen to him but yeah he has gotten worse over the last year or so. The amount of inane poo poo he seriously complains about is out of control. All of that is fine and I don't really give a poo poo as long as the occasional chuckles keep coming in but what got my attention and what I thought was super weird was his recent Uber bits. So he is advertising for Uber which is fine but what kills me is he threw his assistant Matt into the mix so that Matt can discuss how he supplements his income by driving for Uber. This is a guy who is essentially Carolla's right hand, who has worked as a producer or whatever the gently caress he is on the show for years, and who apparently doesn't make enough so he needs to supplement his income with Uber. They are either making up the Matt bit just for the advertisement, or he really is driving for Uber because he doesn't make enough money. Both of these possibilities, especially the second really turn me off.

You only have to tell me once!" Of course it doesn't happen. There's an ongoing update on her show about whether or not he's finally moved his shoes. He hasn't and this was months ago.

It was one thing hearing stories and stuff repeated over time, but his politics and whining just got to me. If Matt really has to drive for Uber to make ends meet, then gently caress this show forever.

I listen to the Carolla/Drew show and Carolla has been really grouchy some days and Drew seems pretty distracted most days, but Adam is basically a genius so it's still worth listening to (for me), especially when they take calls. I am going to watch the Newman documentary at some point.

Side question -- outside of recommendation threads etc., is there a good metric for rating podcasts that doesn't 95% rest on people who listen to and thus like the podcast? Would also love some service that estimated cross-platform download counts, though that's kind of a tall order.

The amount of inane poo poo he seriously complains about is out of control. Adam is likely of the opinion that people working for him are doing it (or should be doing it) mostly for the experience and to jump to bigger and better things. I doubt anyone gets paid well at all. At best, maybe something like $50,000 a year, which wouldn't be enough for a high COL area.
