Adam talks about something related to air travel every single podcast it seems. Today he spent 25 minutes complaining about airplane security. His bag of tricks is only like three topics now and it's just painful. I haven't actually heard any of the guests in about two weeks since I give up before they come on.

I'm going to unsubscribe.

Today's podcast was very enjoyable. Johnny Knoxville is consistently a funny/hilarious-trainwreck guest and he and Adam have a good chemistry. I also think that now that the new format is getting settled into a routine both T and Bald Brian are fitting in well. Hopefully the upward trend continues.

Adam: No way. No way I'd put a hole in it and take a coffee can full of lard, and then duct tape the can to the hole.

I did like his allegory about how Air Travel is a condensed version of modern living, made me laugh and reflect on my experiences.

I only really listen to his podcast because it's updated very frequently and goes for quite a long time which is great when I am trying to complete a mindless task at work without distraction.

Say what you will about his politics and whatnot, but you can't question his improv genius. My favorite bit on the Man Show was him playing the psychic and loving with passerby.

I disagree. I think he's great at coming up with stuff on the fly when he's just talking with Drew or Teresa or whoever, but whenever there's been a guest who was doing a character or a bit, he's been pretty miserable. So, he's good at doing improv except in an improv setting...

Yeah he is kinda strange like that. He says he doesn't like stand up because he doesn't like to be forced to do the same routine/jokes over and over.

But then he goes on the radio and tells the same jokes over and over. :psyduck:

One of these next to your standard stoplight:



So you can't just do a yielding left turn on a green light, you have to wait for the special left turn arrow light to give you the green. Which adds a whole extra cycle into the stoplight rotation. It makes sense on busy streets during the day, but I could see it being infuriating at 2 AM when there's no visible cars on the road for miles. Especially if it's on every stoplight in Culver City.

Okay, just to be sure I get it. Here we have a split light like this:



When the arrow's green, the light in the opposite direction is red and everybody can turn freely. When it switches to just having the green light, you can turn left if there's no oncoming traffic.

There are also wide roads with left turn lanes that have the signal you posted, and you can only go if there's an arrow. But the other direction's green and these are only on roads with eight or ten lanes so it's not like you can just go. They're not that common.

So I'm getting the issue is LA uses the second type in all sorts of places where there's no reason for it?

Oh, and he also often rails radio hosts who have catchphrases and gimmicks on their show, yet he has catchphrases and gimmicks on all of his shows. Mahalo...Good times....Caller betting....Accordion countdown, and the most egregious, recently "Gotta GET IT ON".

Yup. Even on roads where there are 4 lanes total, the second type is often used. I don't think I've ever actually seen that first type in southern California before but I could be remembering wrong.

It all makes sense now. For some reason I have trouble picturing traffic unless I've been in it, and I couldn't figure out why Adam hated the arrows so much. Now I get it sounds really loving annoying.

They are all over the place in Long Beach, which boggles my mind as it is surrounded by LA and Orange County, both of which seem to exclusively use the annoying no-yield lights. Long Beach is bizarrely sensible.

edit: Long Beach also has sensors and signal lengths that vary based on time of day. I think that last one is really Adam's problem. The lights are all timed based on daytime rush hour traffic, then he waltzes in around 2 AM and has to wait four minutes just to cross an empty street.

Those types of lights with a red arrow are everywhere in the south. I've seen them my whole life in Louisiana/Florida/MS/AL. Red means DO NOT GO. Arrow means left. Pretty straightforward.

I said they were confusing. I still think they are. As far as their usefulness at 2am, I contest that MOST lights, strange normal or irregular, are mostly useless at that time anyway. Something designed to moderate the flow of traffic only works if there actually IS traffic.

Adam's main hate for the turn arrow iirc was that they were useless because cops can only get you on it if they're directly behind you. And at that point, you'd be an idiot to run a light with a cop directly behind you. You just look both ways, wait for clear traffic in all directions, then go.

Just making sure I/we are all on the same page here.

I'd forgotten how great that bit was, it was fantastic to hear it again in an uncensored format. I have way too much time at work to think about this poo poo while listening to the show, and today I realized that a lot of Adam's greatest moments seem to come from just interacting with crazy people. That segment is the perfect foundation for that, hopefully it's a regular installment from now on.

I got the impression that Adam treated him like that at first because he didn't know the guy was that old. He seemed to be a little nicer when he realized he was 88.

Probably because she was super annoying and condescending when she spoke.

She would also do stupid poo poo like tell a caller calling in to talk about how he lets his dog gently caress him to hang up. What sort of stupid loving producer would try to prematurely end such an awesome call?

I may have been listening to too much loveline lately. I went camping with some buddies last weekend and there was a bachelorette party camping a short ways down from us.

The first night we went to the bachelorette campsite and drank for awhile and I somehow ended up in an argument with the bachelorette about religion. She was a hardcore creationist and was infuriated that I believed in dinosaurs and evolution, and kept screaming "how come monkeys can't talk if evolution is true!" Finally the park ranger came by to shut us down and as she's walking away I had to throw in "Please, once you're married . . . don't get pregnant." When she turned around to ask why I could only respond "because you're too stupid for babies."

The second night we ended up back at their campsite and I ended up sitting down with another girl who just absolutely hated me for some reason. She bitched and yelled at me for some time calling me an rear end in a top hat and immature etc . . . until I had finally had enough. The conversation then went like this.

me: You're a very angry person . . . you don't like me because I'm an rear end in a top hat right?
her: Yes.
me: and you have a kid right? (complete guess)
her: Yes.
me: daughter?
her: Yes.
me: and the father is out the picture, and was a complete rear end in a top hat too right?
her: Yes.
me: and your dad, pretty much an rear end in a top hat too right? Alot like me and the rear end in a top hat ex?
her: Yes.
me: That's really a shame. It's a bigger shame that you're going to mess up your daughter so badly that she grows up and gets involved with a bunch of assholes just like you did and ends up screwed up, pregnant from some rear end in a top hat, and angry just like you.
her: (Raging) GTFO you rear end in a top hat! I'll kick your loving rear end!

At that point my friends grabbed me and we made a hasty departure for greener pastures down the road.
