Do they take callers? The few I listened to did not, it was mediocre, but usually just Adam and Drew droning on and on and on, middle-age style. Listening to the classic podcasts, did Adam and Drew used to shill so much crap during commercials back in the day? I do enjoy how much more they tried to intervene by phoning the callers bf/gf.

They do now, but it's nowhere near as fun as the old days since the callers are all fans and not regular listeners. I doubt they used to do ads in the old days as the show was syndicated and the radio station playing the feed would get the right to insert their own local ads over the PSA reel they've mentioned before.

Advertising products like that is how most podcasts make money. Audible seems to pop up a lot on podcasts I listen to. I can't really fault them for trying to turn a profit, although I die a little inside every time I hear Drew advertising some brain game thing in exactly the words that aren't a medical guarantee. They do take calls but the problem is (and someone in this thread said this way before me) idiot teenagers and young adults used to think of the show as a public service of some sort, and you'd just get the strangest/dumbest people calling in. Now it's mainly old fans of the show with less interesting topics talking to two jaded old guys. And I don't know if they stopped or not but the half hour long 'current news story' thing they do is terrible. Right now I'm deep into a couple history podcasts and I may try A&D show again after they're done but unless they improved drastically they just aren't that entertaining.

Good point, that is the weakness of podcasting vs radio. The x-factor of talk radio are the unhinged/entertaining people who randomly heard the program and called. Everyone on a podcast subscribes and already has shades of fanboyism. The hosts are insulated and in an echo chamber of agreement. Add this to an already lazy smug Adam, without the correcting influence of an Ann. I know Drew's credibility has been in question for years, but I also still cringe when he pimps something like those scientifically unverified "neuroplasticity" games. I can't wait for the later 96 early 97 when Drew starts appearing more in mainstream media. And after each TV appearance talking on the show about how conflicted he is about compromising medical advice with commercial interests and entertainment. I believe Adam predicted that Drew's wife will want a bigger house. CatchrNdRy fucked around with this message at 17:56 on Jan 17, 2014 |

Hey, remember back when Adam would tell Drew over and over that if he let his daughter do dance (or gymnastics I can't remember which) she'd end up with an eating disorder? http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/dr-drews-daughter-opens-eating-disorder/story?id=22767889

That scam legalzoom or Adam doing stand-up at a casino. But even Howard Stern in his heyday had to push all sorts of weird crap. I remember him even doing locals ads for pizzerias. Granted, Stern is not relying on his integrity. In these early 96 shows, Adam really enjoys trying to get callers parents or boyfriend/girlfriend on the line in order to try to solve their problems. He tries like twice a show, but I guess it's usually disappointing since he hates doing that even just a few years later. CatchrNdRy fucked around with this message at 17:40 on Mar 18, 2014 |

I may sound like an old poo poo but nothing can recapture the magic like they had in the good old days.

Adam's 'To Catch a Contractor' show is sort of entertaining in a cringeworthy way. I don't see it lasting more than a season though.

I may sound like an old poo poo but nothing can recapture the magic like they had in the good old days. One thing I've learned repeatedly throughout my life is you can never attempt to re-create first time magic and chemistry. Whether it be Adam and Drew banter, an old relationship, a return vacation with the same friends, a band reunion album, movie sequels, TV shows brought back by fandom, the Simpsons past 2001, your college sports team full of returning seniors, a new location of your favorite restaurant...most of the time you'll be let you down by your expectations.

I listened to an episode recently where a guest asked Adam why he doesn't do stand up, and he said that he hates the idea of getting up and doing the same routine for people every night, and that he prefers spontaneity. I wish I could play him that clip.

The Bobcat Goldthwait episode on the Classic Loveline podcast (available via iTunes or Christ knows what else) is really, really good for a full show. Bobcat is witty and on point the entire show. A good listen. e: Hey there, Superfan Giovanni here...

gently caress that guy. I've never seen some pander and attempt to imitate another person as much as he does. Using the same quotes, the same lines, terms.. all of it. Plus it's always helpful to get a recap of the show that I'm about to listen to.. really clears up any questions or surprises I might have gotten from the episode. Edit: bobcat was great. Alway a good guest on any show I've heard him on.

I keep forgetting about Classic loveline. Are they still updating regularly? I just grabbed the Bobcat episode and it's great so far, just skip the first minute or so. I was cutting out all of that dude's dumb intros but  Also it's so weird to hear these awful ads for cat litter that PODCAST ONE is dropping in.Also in case anyone forgot:

Yeah Classic Loveline is updated pretty regularly once per week. I just wish they would normalise the levels across the whole show. It's pretty hard to listen to on public transport.
