You can use that site to look up other famous loveline moments too.

They say 23 April 2003 was his first call and he calls again at 4 May 2003.

Checking my audio the call starts at 17:17 in the 2003-04-23 episode. Adam rants for a while, the story resumes at 18:40.

Thank you so much! :D

He was warrior and mystic, ogre and saint, the fox and the innocent, chivalrous, ruthless, less than a god, more than a man.
loving Christ, the Jay Mohr episode is on the stream right now. I've never bothered listening to it, based on everything I've heard, but goddamn is it terrible. Worse than I could have expected, and I was prepared for the worst. Skunk vomit? Are you kidding me? I never minded him very much, but he comes across as an extremely unfunny gently caress here, and a bitter one at that. Those desperate "these aren't bits, I swear!" were just sad, really.

Adam's responses are gold, though. "Cue up the canned laughter, Anderson, this is funny stuff. If you missed the first segment, let me fill you in: skunk vomit." Also, "We're gonna take a break, I'm gonna eat some Fiddle-Faddle, and we'll be right back" made me laugh harder than anything Jay said, and I don't know why.


edit: even his Christopher Walken, which is usually great (he does a fantastic impression, one of the best I've ever heard) wasn't funny this time. He must have been having an extremely off night.

I remember that episode, because Mohr was so unfunny he was actually hilarious.

I do remember Mohr on Loveline saying that "Ebb and flow" sounded like a Pearl Jam song. I think thats about the only time I laughed at one of his jokes, just because it sounded like something my dad would say.

Yeah, after listening to the entire episode, I have to agree. The way he kept getting angrier and angrier at his own failure was incredible. He was so absurd that it actually became hilarious. Bragging about 'skunk vomit' coming off the top of his head and being angry that no one had laughed over it... he might actually be a comedic genius.

Riptor posted:

That's what made it so great, one of the best things about that episode was how painful it must have been for Adam to restrain himself. Those girls were so incredibly stupid, and soooo hosed up, it must have been torture for Adam to be relatively civil and not completely unleash on them. His subtle insults were great. I loved the part when one of the girls claimed that Adam must be screwed up for doing a show where he takes phone calls from screwed up people. "Sure, doctors deal with sick people all day, so obviously the doctors must be sick too!"

I also got a kick out of both girls' "near-death experiences", one of the girls had a wonderful little trip to heaven and was greeted by some dead family member, and the other tried to kill herself and ended up briefly visiting hell. I always enjoy hearing people talk about those experiences, it seems like their experiences always depend on their own personal beliefs about death and supposed afterlife. I have no facts to back this up, but it seems to be the case after hearing enough people talk about it. I technically "died" once, and there was no tunnel of white light, no dead relatives giving me a tour of the new pad, and no demons tugging on my pant leg. There was just nothing. It was like closing my eyes in a dark room. Coincidentally, I don't believe in heaven or hell. I saw exactly what I had expected to see, basically. I get the feeling that had I believed in an afterlife, my brain would have showed me glimpses of heaven or something. The one vampire chick who tried to kill herself ended up seeing hell, because she believed in an afterlife and in the religious concept of being punished by God for committing suicide. That's what she believed, therefore she saw exactly that. Like I said, I have no factual basis for this and I could be totally wrong, but it definitely seems to make sense.

You might have something there. It'd be interesting to hear his take on near-death experiences.

Then he went on a jag about how everyone in Hollywood is a pussy. I inspired a jag! I'm so proud!

Adam pissing in front of his daughter was a little weird, but the Fox Sports guy talking about the samoan caressing his balls and Adam's pedophilia tangent had me in tears, which is something I haven't gotten out of Adam's material in a long time.

It was a good podcast. Rogan was great, which surprised me. Adam's stand up was the weakest part of the podcast.

I thought it was great! Like another poster said, some of the funniest stuff he's done in awhile. I mean, if that was the weakest part, then that means Frank Stallone waxing on about his brother again was more entertaining? I don't think it gets much better than Adam suggesting that they invent a toilet designed like a steel drum so you can tell where you're peeing.

Man, both improv podcasts were excellent. I thought Adam's standup was great and all the guests made for good comedy. Even if the guest was dull (Dominique Swain, for example) they were still able to make things entertaining. I like the way Adam and Garman play off each other, too.

The podcast really has been great lately. It seems like they finally got the sound right, it's been a while since Adam went on a truly painful rant, the Ace on the House episodes have actually been pretty entertaining so far, even for someone with little interest in home improvement, and other than Frank Stallone (who wasn't even that bad) the guests have all been good, or at least entertaining. I was kinda iffy on the podcast a while back, but it's definitely become quite solid. Anyone who got tired of it a while ago and stopped listening, I'd definitely recommend giving it another shot. The show has found its footing and really hasn't disappointed in a while.

Speaking of the best of podcasts..hoooly poo poo I forgot how uncomfortable I felt during the George Takei interview. First the Aceman asks George to think about the WORST day of his life, knowing full well he was in an internment camp as a child, and proceeds to talk about having to hitchhike home after painting all day. He follows it up with a 10 minute segment trying to justify Japanese American Internment camps.

Adam: Well, maybe your father realized the camps weren't set up out of anger.
George: Yes, they were.
Adam: Well, you see, we didn't do it to hurt anyone..
George: They came to my house, with bayonetted machine guns.
Adam: Maybe..I'm not conveying my point correctly. What happened, was terrible. BUT it wasn't like Hitler rounding up Nazis..
George: That's almost exactly what it was like.
Adam: ....Clearly, I'm not getting my point across correctly. What I'm trying to say....
