Suffice to say, I listen to the show every day via the podcast

Me too, though I'm still working through archives (just started on March). I wish Bonaduce would reel it in and shut the gently caress up occasionally; the show was definitely better with Dave, but Adam's always good and that's enough for me.

He bitches about that later on and no he never does

And at some point he points out that even if there is a correlation there, it's because people using birth control are probably having sex more than people who aren't using it, therefore of course the STD rate would be higher.

He actually brought up that oval office on his morning show not that long ago, when ranting about people who claim to have data for something and actually don't.

Adam missing again from his show today. I think he's making a stand, which only took him a year. I'd kill for the show to be just T, Bryan, and Adam. Bryan has good chemistry with both of them and is retardedly quick with drops

That would be great. There's also apparently some speculation he might be going to Sirius. Stern tried to get him to do that at first and he declined, a year of Bonaduce may have changed that.

Or, he's just not there for once and nothing's going on.

I think Adam's political points are largely the result of no formal education. Half the time he's libertarian, half the time he's pretty authoritarian, and he contradicts himself all the time. It sounds like gut feeling instead of carefully looking at the issues. He'll go on a ten minute rant about the government being up his rear end, then half an hour later he's talking about how much he loves omniscient surveillance.

Really, they're two very similar people who don't give a poo poo what other people think of them.

I still don't get what was supposed to be offensive. I thought the entire crux of the joke was that a blonde chick from Utah is clearly not Jewish. Maybe after several thousand of those style jokes on the radio we just approach it differently.

And yes. I liked the morning show from the beginning, but this year's definitely a huge improvement. It's come into its own and is as good or better than Loveline. The Huell Howser bits with Dana Gould are the funniest things I've ever heard, I'll see about uploading one for you guys.

*Dive into a body of water with a knife clenched in my teeth
*Have a skateboard move named after me
*To walk on stage and have someone remove a cape from me
*Have my hands registered as a weapon in a state
*Have some part of my body insured
*Be kicked out of a casino for winning too much
*Receive a large cardboard check
*Save someone from quicksand
*Do the 'fist-stop-hold-up' move, then do the two-fingers-in-the-eye move for 'watch!' then do the 'move out' hand signal, all silently
*Travel in a building's air vents.
*Shoot someone in order to save their life.
*Receive a novelty size 'key to the city'
*Have a girl threaten to kill herself after I break up with her
*Point to a watch underwater
*Have someone successfully start a slow clap for me
*Thwart an ex's wedding
*Stop a crime by throwing something at the criminal, thus knocking him/her out as they attempt to flee
*Closeline a person on a motorcycle, watch the bike careen out of control, then take the bike and peel out
* Make the proclamation, "Release the hounds!"
* Have a wealthy father try to persuade me not ever see his daughter again by offering me a large sum of money

I was thinking maybe it was Drew, but he really seemed to enjoy the shows with DAG. My money's on Stryker.

A couple months after Adam left, Drew spoke at my university. I asked him afterwards when they were going to hire DAG as the co-host, and he told me that he would love that but it wasn't going to happen--the suits in charge of Loveline decided they needed to target the show to a younger audience, so they were going for a young, preferably Latino co-host. I suspect they gave DAG the guest boot for the same reason, the kids can't relate.

Fortunately, he comes on the Adam Carolla Show regularly so gently caress 'em anyway.

Instead of having a natural discussion like on Loveline, where Adam would break off into rants about whatever, there's a special segment just for Adam to rant about whatever, called "This Week in Rage."

You don't listen to it much, then. He does the exact same stuff he did on Loveline--This Week in Rage is just where he recaps five particular spontaneous rants from the previous week. And these days most of them are rants he went on off the air, which is great. Dunno what you mean about the news either, usually they barely get to half of it because Adam uses up the entire time on rants and tangents.

I think that's a pretty good way to look at it. If I listen to Adam for too long, I do start getting a little fed up with some of his opinions. I think I'm definitely a fan of Drew's more than Adam's.

You do have to just sort of ignore it and listen to the comedy at times. I groan every time he goes on a jag about how great torture is or anything related to the Middle East. It's those times when you see the difference between smart and educated, since usually people who have the first also have the second, and Adam's an exception.

If I were up early enough to call in I bet I could blow his mind with how friendly the Middle East was to us before the 70's, and especially before 1948. I don't think he has any clue how recent this stuff is. If he listened anyway.

You really think so huh? Corolla is something of a history buff regardless of his education. Never mind that plenty of so called educated people can't even name the sides of World War II. Never mind history of the middle east.

Judging by his statements, yes. He thinks Arabs hate everyone and are incapable of being dealt with rationally, they only respond to violence. I doubt he has any idea that places like Iran were once very popular American vacation destinations. I don't know what you're trying to prove here, since his own statements adequately demonstrate a significant lack of knowledge about the Middle East.

I don't want to drag the thread off topic, but there's not really an argument. He knows a lot more about World War 2 than the average person but that doesn't make him a Middle Eastern scholar.
