Chiming in as someone who grew up on late 90s era and only listened to a handful of ACS and Stryker-era Loveline. I don't think that initial Drew/Adam "spark" of the 90s will ever be re-captured, even if they get back together. Does Adam still talk about how he and his friends used to sneak into a swank resort and fill their anuses from the water pumps? They would then get into water fights by shooting the absorbed water out of their asses. Apparently you can form quite a jet stream from your sphincter that can go many many yards. Adam would talk about the Mexican standoffs with his friends have clenching all that water in their asses. I think they called it the "E" game (enema). he also said chunks and bits of poo would sometimes fly out. Drew was appalled and quickly stated that doing such was really bad for your system. In the next few weeks callers would report on how surprised they were at the amount of water you could fill your anus with and the velocity at which it shot out. Its much funnier if you hear it verbatim, I haven't found it on any of the archives yet. CatchrNdRy fucked around with this message at 00:03 on Apr 3, 2010 |

I would hate to be a Filipino, construction worker (mainly doing metals), from Hawaii dating a girl named Crystal with a girly voice that I met in junior college. With hippie parents. say what you will about adam, but I prefer his equal opportunity hatred and self loathing miles above the douchey politness of Styker and Riki Rachtman before him. There's a vague low key smugness that a lot of younger radio guys have that isn't overt but just really annoying. maybe its just me. and adam is the antithesis of that.

Well I followed them, and I'm a millionaire!). While I don't think everything's handed to him on a silver platter, I do believe that if he never met up with Kimmel he would be, at best, a regular caller on a radio show. well at least emceeing roasts to the retiring master carpenters at the Union Hall somewhere in North Hollywood.

A HUNGRY MOUTH posted:Yes, I agree. In fact, I'm beginning to think about starting from 2000 again; the last time I listened through the archives, they lasted me for well over two years. why not start even earlier, I personally prefer the 90s era calls, the host-caller dynamics are timeless and pretty much the same from 1996 to 2005. i usually alternate an 90s era ep and a later one. someone had mentioned this before, but the callers from the 90s before Loveline got really popular are much more hosed up and less self-aware. a lot of the 2003 and later callers, clearly grew up with the show and are gushing fans, which I feel lowers the random, crapshoot feel of earlier era calls. The pacing is much smoother in the later episodes, and digressions somewhat controlled. Unfortunately as time goes on Adam's bootstraps rants are also more frequent and start to sound like the unfunny, cringeworthy drivel on the ACS. Early Adam, pointless anecdotes about living like a pathetic slob. Later Adam, pointless anecdotes about celebrities. piecing together every single episode of the Adam-Drew era should be a priority for today's archeologist.

Liface posted:I agree, 1996 had some quality episodes that are WAY overlooked, and more of them are found every month. Thanks, I'm glad there are people still pursuing loveline archeology. I would gladly pay Westwood 2 money for complete years of episodes. The other quality of the 95-97 era is to listen to Adams first experiences as a new celebrity and his outrage at things like not being played in some celebrity softball game and how he subsequently cursed out the manager. The irony is the more likable C-list 96 Adam wouldn't hate the B-list 2010 Adam at all, he'd be envious. Liface posted:Loveline is dead, guys. There's not a single person they could bring in to save it. Not even Adam, because he's horrifically unfunny nowadays. Tom Arnold? He seems to have DAG's sensibilities but also less of an emotional wildcard. One of the more interesting aspects of Loveline is to see celebrities that "get it". There are also those that do, but don't seem to care. Or some take it too hard, The Darkness left (a lot of British guests seem uncomfortable), and Ben Stein in 98 spent the whole episode concerned but also stunned and horrified. Not to sound misogynistic, but its usually starlets that are the most annoying and don't seem to give a poo poo. The young dude actors and musicians at least occasionally shake off their stoned stupor to offer advice to some goony 15 year old.

frobert blamble posted:Can somebody recommend some good pre-2000 shows that are complete and recorded well? It seems like most of the recordings out there are <30mb, sometimes a lot less which leads me to believe they'r either incomplete or have a terrible bitrate. http://www.lovelinedownloads.com/ll1998.htm the ben stein, matt parker and trey as well as the DAG episode are quite good. You shouldn't avoid the incompletes, as most of the call themselves are pretty self contained. the "missing-end" ones are a little more frustrating cause occasionally they'll be a call that is cut off.

Trivia Time...this has been mentioned a few times by Adam at all eras of his Loveline reign...where was the only place he went for a field trip in all of his schooling? Well there are 3 places, but there is the main one he frequently mentions... He gets enraged everytime a rich private school kids tells of their extravagant field trips.

Judakel posted:I don't think Adam realizes how much of a factor the sheer luck of meeting Jimmy was in providing him with all the opportunities he has had in his life. Even his ongoing success in broadcasting is largely based around the lucky fact that Drew plays such a natural straight-man and hardly a product of his own hard work given his attitude towards Loveline. The fanbase created during those years has been the main reason he has had a semi-successful career after Loveline at all. I am sure some loved his work afterwards on its own merits but they pale in comparison to those that prefer his work on Loveline. We go back in time and show 1997 D-list Adam how in 13 years his humor has turned into angry old man rants, and his amusing anecdotes about his poo-fliniging friends have turned into bland stories of B-list celebrities. Then we show him his 2005-2010 gross income. I don't think he would change a thing.

I just can't get into the TACS. Why he doesn't realize that every radio guy from a hack in the smallest market to Rush Limbaugh does "angry rants". The heart of Loveline, was the character analysis. It was like sitting at the mall with the two sharpest people watchers in the universe. e: im not sure if its been mentioned, but I just listened to the 1999 Pennywise episode where Fletcher barricaded himself in the sound booth, took drew and adam hostage and threatened to go to "Poo Poo City". its a must listen if you guys havent heard it yet. the powerlessness in the voice of Adam trying to charm, and Drew trying to reason with this 6'6 300lb inebriated giant is hilarious.

Omnicarus posted:I only meant that some people in this thread seem to worship Adam, like a golden calf1 if you will. While they themselves lead continue their normal lives, they idolize Adam Carolla as an average man's avenue to straight forward, and occasionally crude, humor dealing with current events. This led me to put forward an idea that if they saw Adam in person they would experience a sudden sexualization of their idolization and respond by ejaculating/orgasming before they could control themselves. Since this is generally frowned upon by society, it would be embarrassing. I thought this would be funny since it was both a semi-hostile comeback to what I perceived as insults and incorporated the crude humor typically seen on the show. I am sorry if it did not translate well.

Liface posted:The audio quality from the new tape transfers is great and there are a lot more episodes up, you guys should give the 90s another try. There are also lots of episodes available now. if you find the '96 episode where Adam first told the anecdote about : sneaking into a pool with his friends, pumping water up their asses, holding it, then forcibly ejecting (due to the strength of the sphincter muscle) their rear end water at each other, I would be highly indebted. Even that story was not enough to stop drunk Fletcher in '99. The utter desperation and fear in Drew and Adam's voice trying to tell that story in order stop Fletcher from pooing on them... you are all missing such gold by not listening to 90s episodes. ascheapaschewinggum posted:The reason is really so I don't start repeating them. It makes more sense to me to plow through a long series of mp3s in order instead of just dipping in and out. oddly enough the last 3 random episodes (like 97, 00, and 02) had Adam telling the exact same story about how he was ashamed to rent Asian porn because an older Asian man was right behind him looking at ebony porn.
