I still have a old loveline mp3s but they don't zing the same now that I'm a grown human with life experience. The only reason Adam could patronize the callers were because they were literal teens. And, if you think about it, that Cancel[-]proof image is basically for the same audience of teenbrains.

He's pulling down at least $400 a month on patreon and has recent posts there and on his stupid rear end website. Idk who the hell is paying him because he appears to have been run off of reddit a couple years ago unless the single google search I did was misleading

I think one of my first indicators was a polite young woman calling in to try and explain why rich people paying greater taxes than people who are poor or middle class is fine, and Adam didn't just disagree, he brutally shouted her down. I believe it was a year or two after he got The Man Show.

Yeah he's been big on "the rich already pay far more than the poor, just using the same percentage".

I know Adam had that movie I never saw Road Hard where he played a stand-up but is Adam a real comedian? I always considered him more of a comedic personality than a comedian. Like I know being a comedian isn't just stand-up and he has some improv training but just never thought of him as one. Even when I was a fan I couldn't imagine going to the Cincinnati Chuckle Hut and seeing him perform if it wasn't just a live version of his podcast. It's all pedantic and doesn't change the fact that he's a huge piece of poo poo who is friends with Dennis "Spousal Rape" Prager.

He was pretty good at improv at one point. The old Huell Howser bits with Dana Gould were always incredible.

Even when he went and did a bunch of, “stand up” shows, he would just rehash bits from the radio show/podcast while using a projector screen with images to use as jumping off points. I saw him twice live like that 10 some years ago and it was the exact same show a year apart or so

I saw one of those shows probably 10+ years ago. I remember it was fun but the main thing I can recall was an amusing recap of his reported income year by year. Many years it was zero, then it jumped when the earthquake happened, then plummeted again.

He is most definitely not a stand up in the sense of what we think of when we hear the phrase "stand up comedian". His shows consist of a slide show and goofy poo poo like that. He knows he's not a stand up and that he doesn't write new material. Before the pandemic he was actually going to, I believe the laugh factory and running material which seemed to be new by what I remember. He just doesn't have it in him though IMO.

Alison Rosen was on Blocked Party if anyone is interested in a very funny very Canadian podcast about social media. The topic of Adam Carolla only comes up very briefly in passing if you're looking for dirt you aren't going to find any. She was a good fit as a guest and it was fun episode. Nice to hear Alison's voice because I don't listen to her podcasts and her leaving was one of the big reasons I quit listening to Adam Carolla.

If you haven't listened to her podcast where she told the story, it's a really good listen. Hard to listen to, but a good one. I had stopped listening to AC for a while, but still had it subscribed, unsubscribed that day.

Listened to NNF today (the guest was the delightful Blaine Capatch) and they were talking about cars and started riffing on Adam's unfortunate transformation.

Blaine mentioned previously owning a Carolla and Jimmy asked if it started out as as fun car that gradually got more right wing and mean.

It's wild to me that a good deal of the comedy community thinks nothing of just blasting him, although he certainly deserves it

one of my twitter follows was liveblogging some early 2000s episodes, and came across an episode where Drew was telling a minor to email a picture of their genitals so he could tell them if he thought it was an std. of course he mentioned that he'd "delete it afterwards" so don't worry!

I am way out of the loop with Carolla land, but as somebody who had to reassess Dr. Drew ~10 years back (I previously thought he was a "just" a fame whore but a good doctor) when it came out he was shilling for Glaxo with his persistent Wellbutrin recs:
He is totally spineless and his temperament is very "scared conservative". Worried about his money, safety, degeneracy, etc. Scared of "the mob" and elitist, way more comfortable with authoritarianism than democracy. So he was destined to get sucked into the conservative culture war (especially when the fans and money comes from that audience) and the dumber that got the dumber he got.

edit: Other than that "flu is worse than covid" supercut video, last I heard from him was his optimism that Trump was going to address the opiate epidemic thanks to having a meeting with him for probably 30 seconds. LOL okay right dude.

This is by far the best assessment I've ever heard of Drew. He is so easily frightened into almost anything. Listening to him back when he was first getting introduced to Adam.. he was so different. Loveline was cutting across a social barrier about communication about healthy relationships and sex. It really is an awesome snapshot in time that doesn't really exist anymore.

I liked when they made a Dr. DrewBot with his stock responses then used it on a few callers and it worked pretty well at keeping the calls going for a while. They tried making an AdamBot but his rants were too specific so it was just confusing.
