When the archives were up a few months ago, I must have downloaded at least half the shows to listen to while I was cooking. Very glad to see them back up. Also, I noticed a rather funny trend. Sometime around 2003 or 2004, Dr. Drew starts watching South Park, and becomes completely enthralled by the show. There were nights where he would derail people's calls just to try and recap the previous night's South Park episode. Sounded like a kid who just got a new toy and can't shut up about it. I'm sure that it's been brought up before, but it seems like the worst guests were almost always new bands who were stuck on the show by a publicist that didn't understand what the show was about. There is no better example of this than the show where The Darkness was on. About half hour into the show, after one of the routine sexually abused girl calls, the leader of the band tells Adam that they didn't realize the show was serious, and that they're going leave. The Archive is down again, but you should be able to find the show pretty easily.

TylerDurden posted:As for that particular show, I understand that with hindsight it's easy to hear it and get very uncomfortable with some of the comments but you have to put it in the context of how the general feeling in the country was that of anger, wanting to stand by the president and the administration mixed with a desire for revenge. I guess this is a derail, but things like this are going to be a major boone to future historians. All too often we rely on second or third hand sources telling us how it "really was" back in the day, and even less data exists about the average person. Even with readily available primary sources, some are already working hard to twist recent history like the vietnam war. Fifty years from now, I can barely imagine how 9/11 and the war on terror will be viewed, but at least people who didn't live during the events will be able to hear what Adam and Drew thought that night.

Absolut Mike posted:I was listening to an April 01 episode today (believe its 4/21/01) where Adam suggests a ribbed/gripped tab on the side of toilet seats for more sanitary handling. Another great toilet idea was the remote control flush. Often Adam would be on the john while talking on the phone, but unable to flush because it would tip off to the other person just where he was receiving their call. At the same time, he didn't just want to leave poo poo in the bowl to ferment. But with the remote control flush, your troubles are over!

Revol posted:^-- Patton had some fun guest appearances during the first year of Adam's morning show, playing on his nerdism, where he'd give super-dorky 'nerd reports' about his D&D games. It culminated in a trivia competition between him, Posehn, and I believe Dana Gould. Patton won in the end. You wouldn't happen to have links to those shows, would you?

In the last week or so on the adam carolla show, he went on like a 20 minute rant about mexicans and immigration, but I can't remember which day or segment it was in, can anyone help me out? edit. found it. It was How Say You? on 7/08/08, and is deliciously ignorant. Maarak fucked around with this message at 00:14 on Jul 15, 2008 |

Judakel posted:This really stinks about most of Adam's rants. For every time he really shows someone up there are 2 times where he is just talking out of his rear end. I love his ability to improvise too much to stop listening though. I feel like he's a great example of someone who's very intelligent, but his parents and teachers failed to educate him properly. He's mentioned many times having serious issues with reading and math, stemming from going to a hippy school for most of his formative years and never learning the basics. I have to imagine this turned him off to school in general.

Bender posted:Do you mean on TACS or Loveline? If it's TACS, does Adam actually listen? It's on TACS, and I'm not quite sure Adam understood Penn's point, or if he simply refused to believe it. That whole episode is great, and worthy of a listen btw.

MacGyvers_Mullet posted:e: His name was "Shotgun Bob," who may or may not be a joke caller. I learned from yesterday's show that they do have writers on staff that come up with games and events (but not really the actual dialog or jokes for the hosts), so I wonder if Shotgun Bob isn't the beginning of a great recurring character. Boomer and the Nooch were morning radio zoo characters on Crank Yankers, played by Jimmy Kimmel and Patton Oswalt I think. I can't stand Deaf Frat Guy and I can't believe Adam is doing a movie with him Edit. Wiki says they were named Boomer and the Nudge

Check out the Sept 24th 2008 Adam Carolla show if you like that bit, as they do a version of it with Dana Gould doing a decent John McCain impression.

I listen to Leo's TWiT podcast and I really hope he can throw some good webdesign and audio recording tips to Adam's guy. Listening to today's podcast was like listening to someone talking on a cell phone and someone recorded on FLAC.

BobbyK posted:Hey guys I'm not sure if I'm imagining this from one of the many, many nights I spent listening to Loveline in high school, but was there an episode where Adam brings in a sax (trumpet?) or something and Drew plays the piano or maybe sings and they rock out together? Now that I just wrote that it sounds loving crazy but I swear I remember listening to an episode where Adam suggests the idea of a jam session. Then the next night's show they actually do it. If anyone comes across this and I'm not going crazy let me know! That episode definitely happened, although I think drew played the bass.

Phone posted:I'm going to find out when they do Skype calls and attempt to bitch at him about his retarded view on advertising and the poo poo audio quality. I was listening to the podcast last night and couldn't focus, the audio is just so loving bad. If you can stand the geekery of a tech podcast, listen to this http://twit.tv/196 for not only a nice little discussion of how to get good sound in podcasts, but marvel at how nice and rich it sounds given the small file size for a 90 minute podcast. I'm at my laptop right now, but I think it's about 40 megs. Today's ACP was 60 minutes and about 20 megs if I recall. Nearly everyone on TWiT connects via skype, and they manage to sound better than the people in Carolla's warehouse.

Tonight's loveline was awful. James Van Praagh was the guest, and Drew basically kissed his con-man "medium" rear end the whole time. Quite dissapointing for a M.D.

Binton posted:Also I'm inclined to agree with him really, I mean how did people live before 1980? They didn't. Prior to our understanding of science and the development of modern medicine, many of these people simply died. Dr. Drew has a better grasp on this, but I don't think Adam really gets just how abysmal life was just a century or so ago. A severe food allergy wouldn't be just an annoyance to people around you, but something you could easily die from, even indirectly. In bringing up tales of working with Mexican day laborers with little regard to what they eat, or how no one in developing nations seems to have these problems, Adam is falling victim to the same logical fallacy. It's not that those populations are immune to the problems that seem to get highlighted all the time in LA, but that they have larger issues, and problems that only affect a minority of people, or have a marginal impact on life, tend to get overlooked in the broad scheme of things. The reaction many school districts have had to the growing number of children with peanut allergies is overblown, but accepting an ignorant rant as truth is pretty dumb. Even if the rant is funny as hell. Edit. Gluten sensitivity is real, even if it's not a life or death thing. It isn't that they would die, it's a quality of life thing. Faced with starvation, I'm sure most people with gluten sensitivity or even Coeliac disease would eat a loaf of bread, they would just feel like poo poo afterwards. edit 2. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hygiene_hypothesis http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diseases_of_affluence Maarak fucked around with this message at 01:38 on Jul 8, 2009 |

DrVenkman posted:Most podcasts I listen to just have them reading live on air adverts. It takes like 30 seconds up at the beginning. I don't see why Adam doesn't do that. At this point he's thrown his lot in with CBS, so I doubt he'll be able to do that. He's got tech-illiterate people advising him, and he doesn't seem to want to take any advice from people who have already been successful in the podcast game. It's only a matter of time before he goes for some kind of subscription model and fails.

rally9x posted:Really if thats the best you can find from almost 15 years of Loveline/Tacs/Podcast (started Loveline in 1995). I don't want to turn this into a full scale debate on torture but you would have to make some pretty big leaps to compare Japan and Germany during World War II to the US during the war on terror. The specific comparison of WWII era Japan and Bush era US comes down to waterboarding. While we certainly haven't sunk to levels of brutality exacted against prisoners of war that the Japanese did during the war, we prosecuted them for torture citing waterboarding as an example. Back to Carolla, he's rarely held a consistent opinion on anything with the exception of traffic cops in the LA area. Being functionally illiterate until his early 20s, decades of listening to right wing talk radio, and being educated about history primarily from the history channel haven't helped. Like many in comedy, Carolla is quite intelligent, but quite ignorant.
