Liface posted:I agree, 1996 had some quality episodes that are WAY overlooked, and more of them are found every month. Thanks, I'm glad there are people still pursuing loveline archeology. I would gladly pay Westwood 2 money for complete years of episodes. The other quality of the 95-97 era is to listen to Adams first experiences as a new celebrity and his outrage at things like not being played in some celebrity softball game and how he subsequently cursed out the manager. The irony is the more likable C-list 96 Adam wouldn't hate the B-list 2010 Adam at all, he'd be envious. Liface posted:Loveline is dead, guys. There's not a single person they could bring in to save it. Not even Adam, because he's horrifically unfunny nowadays. Tom Arnold? He seems to have DAG's sensibilities but also less of an emotional wildcard. One of the more interesting aspects of Loveline is to see celebrities that "get it". There are also those that do, but don't seem to care. Or some take it too hard, The Darkness left (a lot of British guests seem uncomfortable), and Ben Stein in 98 spent the whole episode concerned but also stunned and horrified. Not to sound misogynistic, but its usually starlets that are the most annoying and don't seem to give a poo poo. The young dude actors and musicians at least occasionally shake off their stoned stupor to offer advice to some goony 15 year old.

I've basically decided that competency is the most attractive thing a man can illustrate, and that men are probably almost entirely visually oriented (more expediency to find mates, contrasting the women's lack of immediacy) about their sexual selections because semen has to come out unless it's going back in to the bladder where it could become a carcinogen. Dr. Drew called women a window that's mostly closed but open to initiating suitors at only opportune times, but contraceptives have made women less selective now. Anybody want to debate these points? I would like a challenge, it's basically Loveline reinforcing this poo poo though. edit: Competency relative to the perceived view of women, however dumb or smart they are. edit2: To break it down, I think however competent a man is towards a woman and general survival increases their attractiveness to a woman. Women aren't that visually oriented, physically attractive men are intimidating looking (tall, squinty eyed) which relates to their competency in survival. Think of evolutionary theory here when I mention survival, I think women are kind of the Gatekeepers in the gene pool because if a man wasn't competent in survival more prior than contraceptive usage a woman was very very hosed. In a cro-magnon day, they and their children would just die most likely. If you couldn't hunter and gather properly, you weren't about to get laid. Men have semen to get out constantly which is why they're dogs, women ovulate like once a month (it differs), and that's their biological window to find some sperm. spirited fucked around with this message at 10:18 on May 18, 2010 |

That sounds reasonable, my favorite serious parts of the show are where Drew would explain his theory on the evolutionary reason for certain behaviors, he said he was going to write a book on it but I guess never did. I'm always fascinated by that kind of stuff.

Yo dog I heard you like Loveline so I put a stream in your stream so you can listen while oh god why did I just do that? I put a flash player on the main page for the Loveline Stream site so you don't need to download Winamp or anything if you want to use the stream. Great for pissing off the boss!

Far as I know the only way semen ends up in the bladder is retrograde ejaculation, which isn't very common. Otherwise it just stays where it is and absorbs into the body. Also, watch out for brake lights.

Kind of meta-archeology but, do we know who was recording these episodes and keeping them for all of these years? It's seems kind of an insane task to be doing almost 15 years ago. Recording on tapes? Archiving like an insane OCD person then encoding them all to MP3s eventually? Some of the quality of the recordings as well are quite good too. This was a serious effort by someone. Don't get me wrong, I'm eternally grateful for what they have given us but, I'm just insanely curious as to what the origin story is. If anyone actually knows.

Back in the old day we'd record radio on tape. It's also possible that you had a couple people recording them on their computer. Same deal with people recording local TV shows, like hosted horror movies and whatnot. Hell, the lady I used to work with still has her original recording of The Star Wars Holiday Special from back when it aired.

I'm listening to Sunday, December 7, 1997 and its hilarious: Caller: Whats the long term effect of vicadin? Drew: It's the same as shooting heroin. Drew: Do you have a family history of Alcoholism? Caller: No. Drew goes on to try to convince him that he comes from a family of alcoholics and that he will die of addiction.

He does insist that there is something screwy in the background almost every caller. It's more an insistance that there is a reason people do what they do. I wouldn't be surprised if they did have a family history of addiction but the callers just didn't know about it. You know how oblivious loveline callers can be.

It'd seem suspect, but given that Drew's average on being right is well over 90% and Loveline callers are dumb, it makes total sense. We've all heard them drag the truth out of callers hundreds of times. Edit: Oh gently caress. Adam didn't do Top Gear because of his NBC pilot, and the pilot didn't get picked up. Poor Adam.

You guys don't like Psycho Mike? I think he's awesome. I completely stopped listening during the Stryker years, but Mike makes me want to get back into it. He's really a lot like Adam. He's funny, he makes fun of callers when they deserve it, he tells worthwhile stories instead of taking calls, and he's not stuck up; all qualities Stryker desperately lacked. He does the Rudy thing a lot, but it works for him. Reminds me of Chief Thunderbear.

I got to see him speak in DC on the Fourth of July a couple years back, so I knew he was very eloquent, but I'm still struck by how incredibly well-spoken he was off the cuff as well. By the way, one thing I miss from the Stryker era was that one music sting they had leading into commercial breaks where a guy was breathily whispering, "I'm on drugs...I'm gay...I'm depressed..." and other stuff like that. Arguably the most unintentionally hilarious recurring feature from that period of the show.
