he's always gone on and on about it being the easiest job in existence, and there isn't a second radio show that will pay better now. even if it's a fraction of what he was pulling in from TACS it'd be unlike him not to accept if they offer.

What's funny about a lot of the complaining that seems to be coming up is that people get mad at him for stuff he has done ALL ALONG. His blissful ignorance of technology, his unwillingness to learn/adapt to new things, his political and social opinions (as uninformed as some seem to think they are). He has been espousing the same things (to varying degrees, especially post-9/11 and around the Iraq War) since the mid-90's.

I'm absolutely certain that his views of homosexuals and torture have taken a 180 and I'm sure those aren't the only things he's conveniently changed his mind about

Honest question, how have they changed? I thought he had pretty right wing views on torture during the Loveline era (post-9/11 at least).

there was a pre-2000 episode in which he went on a huge angry rant about how much better the US was than the Japanese or Nazis or what have you in WWII because "we" never tortured anybody. how "we" didn't pull that kind of crap. compare that to today where anyone who is against waterboarding is a gigantic bleeding heart liberal pussy who should be brought out back and shot, the traitor.

as far as homosexuals go I could have sworn that he would frequently state that they'd be better parents (among other positive things) and today he wants them to stay the hell away from his kids.

Yes. I am very sick of the fact this is the third out of like twelve GBS thread I've been in the last month where someone said something as stupid as this. Yes, the American left is correct about everything and have never been wrong.

I dunno I'd say that the left is right about more things, not 100% for sure but

quote:

You are 1000 times worse than Adam ever will be and should really just gently caress off. At least he comes to most of his opinions on his own and at least attempts to explain them other than "I do what the American Democratic Party tells me to do".

Well, no. Adam has an audience and is essentially a child in most of his views because he has no education. He is far more capable of doing damage than some dude on loving something awful; the fact that he managed to pull a few idiotic opinions together all by his lonesome is highly irrelevant. a strawman ends your paragraph. fantastic

quote:

People that say he should stop talking about politics should shut the gently caress up too. You are only reinforcing the belief that the left is a bunch of whiny pussies. It offends you so much that someone might disagree with you on something?
Yeah bro he's offended because someone's disagreeing with him, not that some uneducated retard is spewing poo poo that actually hurts society. Let him keep spewing his backward troglodyte opinions, it's not like he has an audience. :smug:

There is no way a person could actually appease you guys. Attack Adam because he doesn't have enough education, and Drew because he has a lot and should know better.

I listen to and enjoy the old loveline shows, back when his more damning opinions were either unformed, muted or unspoken for whatever reason.

The fact that he's a bit over-zealous about pointing it out doesn't invalidate the fact that conservatives are currently the go-to side of politics if you're morally bankrupt and/or willfully ignorant. For example if you are any of these (generally all but there's always some cognitive dissonance),
Pro-torture
Pro-Capital Punishment
Anti-womens choice
Anti-same-sex marriage/homosexuality
Pro-War
Anti-UHC or
Anti-welfare/BOOTSTRAPS
,
I would hazard to guess that you're probably a conservative! Any one of these views individually is already pretty bad, but once you stick them all together into a big loving ball of hate, as most conservatives are happy to do, I begin to question the intelligence of anyone that would try to say that neither side is objectively in the right. There is a time and place for the "grey area" argument but I regret to inform you that this is neither!

Is there some cross-pollination? Absolutely. Does the left harbor equally abhorrent views? Yessir, however they are insignificant in number to the hateful and backwards views of the right. That isn't to say that the left is excused for the lovely views they have, or that those views are any less wrong, mind you.

I couldn't even make it through the first episode of the Adam and Drew podcast, jesus christ. On the other hand, I'm liking Drew's solo podcast, probably because it's a literally the Dr. Drew show. Crossing my fingers for Dr. Spaz as a guest!

He feels persecuted and narcissists hate feeling persecuted, so he's flipping his poo poo because people will reaffirm that they don't hate him. Giovanni literally is incapable of working through those kinds of feelings by himself, so he has to do this kind of thing to regulate his emotions.

I wonder what he'd score on that narcissism questionnaire that Adam always yelled at Drew for giving to the guests right when they were coming back from break. I bet he would score "total nutbar," because holy poo poo. I used to think he just took himself and Loveline a little too seriously but now he seems genuinely mentally unbalanced.

What set all this off? Just complaints about his intros or whatever on iTunes?

Two people said a thing at him on twitter (one of which only seems to have made a single passing remark to giovanni and has nothing to do with anything), and he took a screenshot of the review I left on iTunes in the next page of that thread. As far as I know, mine is the only negative review on the site.

He is projecting really severely, especially evident on the next page where he literally claims a tweet he made was in fact made by the loveline stream guy.

I don't think he has any real away on the podcast one effort, seeing as he wasn't involved with it until recently, so I imagine he's feeling inadequate on top of everything else (another thing narcissists cannot stand).

WEH
Feb 22, 2009

Looking at the dates, I'm amused that the entire review meltdown seems to have started the same day I posted my negative review, unless I'm missing something. I presume (and hope) that there were other less than polite bad reviews around before that ended up being deleted, and that's what made him snap.

I think my review name is TV's Frank or something like that on itunes, and he appears to have cropped out that distinctly relevant bit of information. "T's pal" is beyond me, however, as is "keep sniffing."

If this was Adam-era, they would have hung up the phone on her 30 seconds in.

You could tell that Drew was frustrated with her.
I was pissed at Drew more than anything. The poor woman clearly had (absolutely understandable) cognitive issues and couldn't track at all, and then Drew kept pushing her way too far to the point that she cried. It felt like he was using her to make some stupid point, but lacked the finesse to pull it off so it just came off as awkward and distasteful. He probably should've just said something like “yeah celebrities can be blowhards but there are scenarios where you should just let it slide because holy poo poo did you hear what this person went through?” at the start of a show and left it at that.
