4. Drew Abuse - He has it coming SOMETIMES, but usually... poor drew :(

While I agree with you mostly, I believe Adam has a point when he rags on Drew for ruining his comedic timing by jumping ahead to the conclusion of the joke. Drew has no idea that he's doing it, and I want to yell at him along with Adam for being so oblivious.

5. Anderson drops - Far more appreciated now than when i was a 13 year old jackoff caller. He's quick, and he's unusually on point, especially when Adam is ranting too much.
I think Bald Brian was a better engineer in terms of drop timing, but Loveline had a couple advantages that made it a really unique show in that department. First was the idiot callers and insane guests that produces drops like "What's my dad doing in Isreal" and basically all of Violent J's quotes. Idiot callers also result in the hilarious exchanges with the "You're Fat", "You're Gay" and "You're a Mormon" drops. And the second was the antagonism between Anderson and Adam that would sometimes rise to the surface.

Really? I thought Anderson was insanely good with drop timing. Someone would mention something completely random in the middle of a sentence and Anderson would have the appropriate drop before the sentence was even completed.

Today's podcast was a bit dull, it started off with some good industry anecdotes, and I always enjoy that, but it basically turned into two guys detailing their persecution complexes. The last fifteen minutes were better, I've heard Adam complain about stupid radio plenty of times but this one still got a chuckle out of me. Slayton wasn't completely unfunny, but he reminds me of why I don't regret moving away from Staten Island. He reminds me of my morbidly obese guinzo cousin who sells Coach knockoffs on Mulberry Street.

2. Adam going off topic - I don't know why this doesn't translate over to his podcast but 2001 Adam never, ever repeats himself. If a subject comes up on which he's gone over extensively, he has seemingly forgotten anything else he's said about it and uses entirely different metaphors and scenarios in his rant. He's quick, but I think this versatility was always his biggest strength. When talking about the dentist abusing him and his bad teeth he said, "What does he think? That I just pour a whole box of milk duds into my mouth before bed and go to sleep like that? I brush and floss every day."

Adam today is a douche nozzle, he was much quicker a decade ago. The bohemian nature of the podcast is partially to blame, but he has lost his pulse gradually and now he's a graying geriatric. His worst offense now is he seems to be out of his comedic character as "Ace Man" and the human being Adam Carolla is exposed to air. The time Anderson insulted Bryan, Adam's voice cracked like the life of his own child was threatened, which is a huge change from the person who could rip in to himself and the handicapped like his heart was a bees nest.

I remember him a little while back bitching about Hollywood being a circus of actors with inflated self importance and that he had proved acting wasn't that hard because he did it while praising his baby The Hammer. The Hammer was a mediocre piece of poo poo and I'm glad I got it through Netflix because I only laughed when he did improv during the tar pit scene. He's only good on his feet, the Man Show was only funny during the man-on-the-street bits.

You know, I always wondered why primarily retards consistently called Loveline. The fact that I like Loveline should give me self esteem issues because of that, Drew mentioned once that when he promoted his book Cracked on NPR that the book shot up to #20 on Amazon whereas selling it religiously for a year on his own show did very little. I actually bought Cracked and listen to NPR, so I guess that makes me the NPR crowd, not the junior college material.

The people who call Loveline don't read books.

I think the reason so many idiots called the show up was because Adam and Drew created an atmosphere where anyone could feel comfortable talking about anything. That applied to the guests, the hosts and certainly the callers, so when Joe from Santa Monica calls up and asks why his left testicle is turning orange, he doesn't feel overly self-conscious even when Drew asks him if he's naked and if there's a bag of cheetos nearby. It was a perfectly open forum.

Have you ever had a problem or question anywhere similar to that of the retards who call Loveline? If you haven't then you can feel much better about being a fan. I always felt that the majority of people listening were doing so for the trainwreck factor. Don't feel too bad. Even Adam always made a huge distinction between "caller" and "listener".

I first battled the Metroids on Planet Zebes.
I was listening yesterday on my way to the doctor's office, so I had a good 45-minute drive ahead of me. The episode was with Jeremy McGrath.

This guy named Marcus calls in drunk as all hell, and Adam keeps him on the line for a good 30 minutes to coerce him into drinking further. Then, a redneck guy named Rusty calls in to thank Drew and Adam for helping him get his life back on track. Seems he got a job at Home Depot as a cashier. Adam thinks it's great to have helped Rusty, so he plugs Marcus into the conversation so Rusty can convince him to quit drinking. Marcus berates Rusty and he comes back with, "Sounds like you need a relationship with Jesus Christ."

I almost wrecked the loving car I was laughing so hard during this exchange. Anyone else heard of this one before?

Actually I've noticed that Adam and Drew take an almost selfish stance about STDs, and don't seem to care about their spread that much. I can recall countless times when a caller would call about birth control, Drew would tell them what kind of pill to take, and the guest would jump in and say you should always use condoms to avoid STDs. Drew and Adam would usually almost laugh off this advice, or just quickly agree with it.

I totally understand their stance on this - their ultimate goal is avoiding unwanted pregnancy, and they're being realistic and realizing that people don't want to wear condoms.

We all know Drew must have the warts because of his insistence of how prevalent it is (he is right about that) and how he said that many times, with certainty, that Adam has them. Welp he was proven wrong.

Also I sort of disagree that Drew does not care, he was talking up the HPV vaccine for years before it came out. I imagine it's futile to convince the tards' that call in that a condom is a good idea.

He cares about HPV Vaccines because it's a way to prevent ovarian cancer. And anal cancer. HBV is so contagious that condoms aren't guaranteed to stop the spread.

Normally I'd be on the eye-roll bandwagon, but I like when he and Drew discuss these things rather than him just talking about it on his own. Those were always entertaining to me during the Loveline days, the "Hey Drew, not a lot of souffle humor these days" and then Drew making some reference to a Psychedelic Furs or Oingo Boingo song.

Anyone watching Sex Rehab with Dr Drew? I didn't catch the previous rehab series with Drew so I don't know how it compares but the first episode was pretty interesting. Classic loveline poo poo with abuse and issues and drugs etc. Kinda weird seeing people admitting to such problems on tv. But overall I have slightly mixed feelings about the show. I'm not sure how much of the show is about actually helping these people and educating viewers versus being another reality show. I couldn't help but feel that locking a bunch of generally attractive sex addicts of both sexes with each other isn't the optimal treatment. I know that Drew generally means well but he also really loves being on telly...
