There's probably a masters' thesis waiting out there for someone with the wherewithal to do a longitudinal study on the corrupting power of wealth on an individual by evaluating 20 years of Adam's rants

pangstrom posted:I'm changing my tune a little -- I think the new Adam and Drew show might be pretty good. Drew and Gary are clearly on the "let's have the show be about calls/real life problems" page.. Adam got pretty pissed when Gary did it mid pre-formulated-rant-for-the-Nth time (turns out they didn't have a lot of calls in the hopper) but he kind of backed off in a way that suggests he might be on board, too. pangstrom posted:Everybody knows this but they should start the show with a boilerplate intro and then go right to the calls. Calls give seeds Adam can have new-ish thoughts around. When he starts going down an old road I just skip until I hear a novel voice. Still enjoy the show but yeah there's bad with the good.

Somewhat related, I'm really glad that Gary stopped showing up on Ray/Stromer On the House. He was such a douche, especially when contrasted with Matt's friendly nature.

Dude, you said it! The show is a million times better with Matt and Caelan. Matt can be a little bitch from time to time but for the most part as long as he rolls with the punches it's the best the show can be-seriously. I really wish they'd get rid of the original AOTH and make Ray and Stromer an hour and a half one time per week. Not only would the fans like that more (read Twitter) but it would free up Adam's schedule as it's usually the first podcast he records on the marathon day of recording they do where they record like 9 shows in a day. This is the only show I listen to on the entire network now with the exception for partial episodes of The Watercooler just so I can keep up on what's going on.

pangstrom posted:Just since the thread is dead anyway: there is kind of an interesting dynamic in the Adam and Drew show where Drew and Gary (the engineer/assistant/whatever) both know they should take calls instead of it just being huge chunks of Adam-repeats-a-rant, but Adam has mostly shut down Gary on the subject and Drew, while he is less Adam's "subordinate", keeps chickening out of his half-rear end circumspect-yet-transparent attempts. It's not as entertaining as it would be if they just took calls but it can be pretty entertaining. After 15 minutes of "let's try to find this apartment on Google Maps street view for no reason" I can never trust anything Adam says about "good pod" ever again. The show could really use some editing whenever they do that type of thing.

Yeah, that's not going to happen for like 30 reasons, unless a fan with a LOT of time on their hands does it. A "best of" podcast would be great as long as the person had good taste but anybody up for that would probably be such a Carolla superfan that they would just edit out the musical bumpers and the 5 minutes of Bryan and Gina and the guest talking. Adam doing visual stuff is very confusing to me, I mean he's quick to do jump on Drew for it and I can half-excuse it when it's something he's so into he can't help himself even if it's going to bore 90% of listeners (car race audio), but yeah sometimes it's just bizarre. Every once in awhile on the A&D show he gives bad google instructions for uninteresting and visual stuff then ribs Gary when he couldn't get what he was looking for. pangstrom fucked around with this message at 18:04 on May 25, 2017 |

Working with Dennis "You can't rape your wife because she has no grounds to stand on turning down sex EVER" Prager was a pretty low point for ol' Ace Rockolla, I'd say. It's the point where I hosed off from him and turned to O&A. Which, in retrospect, kinda a mistake when one of them is racist Long Island eye-talian gun nut woman-beating loving trash.

If people contribute to this drat thing they're idiots. The last time was a nightmare. There were people posting whose packages they got via Twitter / Reddit and exchanging them by themselves. So many rewards were wrong. Even the in person meetings were like "Adam has a show in BFE so if you can meet him during this period between when he lands and when his show time is then you can have lunch". So weak.

He'll get the $500k because he's still got a group of diehard fans that will throw money at him. Plus I'm sure Prager has some fans too that would love this. These fans will ignore the fact that these are millionaires who could fund this themselves. For a guy who hates handouts, he sure as gently caress loves asking for them.

Adam could have been an icon for the left as a guy who came up knowing what it was like to truly be poor. Instead, he's become the type of rear end in a top hat he used to mock. He's dangerously close to being an objectivist, which I'm positive I remember him mocking (those of you with stronger knowledge of Loveline, feel free to correct me).

In his brain, planned parenthood, free contraceptives, etc all end up costing him less money in the long run because there are less children he (lidderally a millionaire) pays for. There's also the fact that nowadays, Adam is a contrarian. He's not a smart guy so here's how it works for him:
Did a police officer shoot someone on video with undeniable proof that they were in the wrong? Adam decides that no matter what, you should just comply with the police (even though he ignores red lights) and they must have done something to set the cop off. That's just how he works nowadays.

I recall a day when I was listening to an old loveline where he railed hard against cash advance places, how scummy they are and how they prey on poor people. Shortly thereafter I listened to a new Adam Carolla Podcast ep where he was doing a live read for one.

I'm glad Adam said it at the time, maybe it helped somebody see the light on the issue, but to see him change so radically is sad. Associating with Prager in particular loving disgusts me. For me, the initial sign he'd given up on coming off as a lefty was when he ranted and raved and shouted down a teenager off the phone (and wouldn't let her get in a word edgewise) about why he, a well compensated man (not sure if he was a millionaire but he had to be doing well, because the Man Show was around and it was successful when he was there) should have to pay more in taxes then some schlub who makes like, 18,000 a year. The disconnect of a guy who used to share a 2 bedroom apartment with 4 people to make ends meet saying this was impressive. ZERO self-awareness. Occasionally, I wonder if Jimmy's called him on any of this poo poo, because Jimmy seems kinda leftist these days. I know Sarah Silverman's basically bailed on him (given her political views, pretty unsurprising). It's funny, I think my respect for Jimmy has grown in roughly the same magnitude that my respect for Adam has dissipated. The time he roasted Leno for loving over Conan was great. Making fun of LPers was money. His speech about Obamacare pissed off all the right people. I feel like Kimmel does the best job of capturing Letterman's old spirit (although some of Chris Gethard's stuff is pretty inspired, like the Dumpster and P.Diddy episodes).

The ultimate schadenfreude about Adam Carolla is knowing that he's super resentful that Jimmy is way more successful than him. It must eat away at him. Good.

Supporting Hillary at all in the primaries being an example of being exactly that. I have no doubt her heart is in the right place, but you can advance good while actually BEING good instead of being a complacent Democrat centrist. And I think he means Sarah bailed on ADAM by not doing his lovely podcast where he ranted endlessly for 97% of the air time. I dunno why she broke up with Kimmel.

Sorry for the confusion. She pretty much publicly stated she didn't want to do podcasts or anything like that with him because he'd gotten unbearable, and he'd developed a bad habit of shouting down people who disagree with him. Which, regardless of what one thinks of Sarah, has kind of been an issue of Adam's for most of his career. I will point out that I agree Sarah is more uniformed than flat out dumb. I feel that she earnestly believed there was little difference between Bernie and Hillary, and to be fair to her, she supported Bernie as well. I think for her, like a lot of people, either of them would have been a better choice than what the U.S. ended up with. Apoplexy posted:People believe Adam has an inferiority complex because he's literally an inferior human being. That, and he's spent a large portion of his career whining about people above him on the food chain in Hollywood getting opportunities while he doesn't. He doesn't get that many of these people are proven box office draws with range and talent. Adam has one character: everyman who sees through society's bullshit. Like if he wants to bitch about DAG not getting a chance, okay, fine, because I do think DAG's underutilized. But Adam, as he likes to point out, is literally a millionaire. And he keeps whining like he's some great undiscovered talent who hasn't gotten a fair shake. I saw the Hammer, it's crap on a bun. I don't imagine any of his other movies are any better.

When I was listening years ago, Adam was obsessed with the Albert Brooks film "Defending Your Life", and called it a comedy masterpiece. I got around to watching it and it was fine for an early 1990s film but nothing special. Albert Brooks and Meryl Streep are likeable and some jokes are alright (although it has that odd early 1990s Japanese panic), but overall forgettable. I dunno why Adam would be obsessed by it, the plot is predictable and there must be a hundred better comedies.
