Stuff like this totally substantiates Anderson's complaints about Loveline being essentially "college radio", but at the same time is the reason why the show is so awesome. No one really gave a poo poo and that made it great.

Yesterday I listened to an episode where Carolla goes in-depth on his days of teaching traffic school at the "Lettuce Amuse You" comedy traffic school. You can hear his teeth grit the entire time, epic rant.

The only thing about TACS that gets on my nerves is how insular the humor can get, with no sort of "glossary" available on the site. For example, I have no idea where the "NUMBER FOOOOUR" Dawson drop came from or why they use it all the time. Any help?

also the tuvan throat singing for Danny; I get that it represents him but why

God drat, I love Carolla but his "marijuana (and somehow by extension gay marriage) is illegal because 'what kind of message do we want to send as a society'" bullshit absolutely infuriates me and makes me cringe anytime I hear it. First of all there's a huge difference between what society thinks of an issue and what the governments legislates, and second, how the hell does gay marriage fit into this?

Oy. Go back to the attack crows, Adam.

Nice, I was on Loveline tonight.

Maybe I just haven't heard enough of his peanut allergy rants, but I haven't heard him say say anything like that. All I've heard him go on about are the parents who expect everyone else to completely eradicate peanuts and anything even remotely related to peanuts from anywhere their little darling is going to be anywhere near in the next week. I'm not saying he's always right (he's certainly not), or that he doesn't go overboard when he rants about it (he does, but that's his job), but if someone told me I couldn't have some airplane peanuts because their kid is gonna be on that plane two flights from now, I'd be pretty irritated.

I had a friend in high school with a severe allergy to peanuts that he nearly died from as a kid. We ate lunch with him everyday, and one of my other friends sat not three feet from him on a regular basis, eating peanut butter and jelly. He was fine. Another friend often had trail mix, rife with peanuts. This kid didn't blink an eye. I think Adam's point was that a lot of parents get a little overprotective to a degree that's not warranted, and when it starts messing things up for everyone else, it's hard to swallow without getting mad about it.

Those kids you're talking about clearly didn't have the kinds of allergies that are the root of this discussion. I don't care who you are; if you place more emphasis on your ability to eat peanuts than a child's ability to breathe and therefore not die you're an idiot.

There is an inherent entertainment value to playing the lottery; I put a dollar or two down on Keno every now and then when I'm at a bar, and the amount of fun I get out of that is worth the dollar that I lose.

Plus you're talking about the odds of winning the jackpot. Your odds of winning a prize at all, especially if we're talking about scratch tickets, and especially if within that you're talking about just breaking even, are significantly higher.

It's some super-condescending poo poo to call it a 'stupid tax'

Dr. Drew came to my school (Northeastern University) to give a talk last night, and it was awesome.


He really has come a long way in his speaking abilities, and it's amazing how Carolla-like his sense of humor has become. He said "good times" no less than 15 times, called kids "screwball", and continuously ragged on one kid who was super enthusiastic about anal (he named the kid Anal Sex Man and kept trying to set him up with the crazier girls in the audience). He was also dropping f-bombs and saying "poo poo" left and right, which was a surreal but awesome thing to hear.

The "speech" was basically more or less a live episode of Drew-solo Loveline; he talked a little bit about a study he had read regarding college relationships and the concepts of "hooking up" and "friends with benefits" (and college students' satisfaction levels therein), but mostly just opened up the room to have a Q&A session. It was great because he acted exactly as he did on the show; sometimes completely skirting the actual question the person had asked and honing in on the real issue at hand. One kid talked about how he was getting over an Oxycontin addiction and asked Drew about whether or not he should get on Methadone. Drew spoke at length about his opposition to methadone, and tied that into a story relating to the death of DJ AM and how angry he was that DJ AM hadn't received the correct kind of treatment. It was fascinating and pretty moving, I have to say.

The best part, though, was the meet-and-greet afterwards, where I presented him with a Mason jar. He laughed so hard when he saw it, and a middle-aged woman who was helping to organize the event asked what the joke was. He kinda looked at her, then at me, then back at her, burst out laughing again, and told her not to worry about it.


"Don't know what to say"


"Genius!!"


"Dr Drew"

Then he turned my eyes into fireballs and somehow mentally induced me to stand in a super awkward position while I got my picture taken with him



Drew was super nice and super accommodating; he actually talked to everyone whose books or tickets or whatever he signed, was totally down for photos, and gave hugs to any girls who wanted them (which was basically all of them). If you ever get the chance to see him, definitely do it.

That is by far, the coolest thing in this thread. Did a lot of people pull out some of the old catchphrases? Like: Long time listener, first time caller? Or describing Drew as a passionate man? Or maybe asking if he heard someone drop a nickle?

Oh drat I totally should have asked if someone dropped a nickel. Dammit. The only other catchphrase reference was some girl asking him if he rides bicycles, which got a very confused reaction from the crowd (myself included). Drew called her a "very dedicated fan" and explained that it was a drop from the show that's been used for about two years. As soon as he said that I thought, "heh, yeah, but I have a mason jar :smug:"

If anyone is losing interest in Carolla's podcast, I highly recommend WTF with Marc Maron. I started to lose interest in the new format with Teresa reading the news and celebrity gossip taking up almost an hour per show so I decided to check out the WTF Podcast. I was avoiding it because I never liked Maron's stand-up, but he's a loving awesome interviewer. I wouldn't even call them interviews, most of the time I feel like I'm eavesdropping on people having intriguing discussions. Definitely check it out if you're at all interested in two people having in-depth conversations about doing stand-up, living life, and taking poops (Wait for it...POW!).

I agree, the interview sections are great. But the intro sections where Maron is just so pathetically down on himself about every goddamned thing in the universe are 1000x worse than Carolla on his worst day
