On the American car subject, Adam spends the first two segments or so of the June 5th TACS talking in great detail about why he hates them, and how they've improved since foreign competition eviscerated the American car industry. If anyone wanted detail, there you go.

Get the podcast, they keep shows up for two months or so.

And just so you know, DAG was on for about an hour (not counting commercials) and Drew was only on for the last ten minutes or so, but it's still fun to have them there. On the May 12th show, DAG is in almost the entire time.

Adam's not going back. TACS is basically CBS Radio's flagship show now, and the ratings keep climbing.

I also just saw the movie and it was great. Everything you've heard on the radio is true--way better than any Hollywood comedy in many years, R rating doesn't make any sense, very funny. It was good. I actually liked it. Adam was likeable!

I love Joel McHale. He'd have been a great replacement for Adam, but I'm glad he's on to bigger and better things than doing a radio gig every night until midnight.

Especially since it gives him time to do TACS every Friday. When he and Adam were doing the black preacher bit I thought I was going to suffocate from laughter.

I actually agree with you guys, I specifically mean I haven't heard a LOVELINE with Adam that I didn't like. I wasn't crazy about TACS when I listened to it off and on a year ago, but I've heard it's gotten better.

These days I think it's as good, if not better than Loveline. The first year was a little rough, it seemed like Adam didn't have much control. Then there was the Year of the Bonaduce, which got old very quickly. Now it's right on target.

Graham Wellington posted:

I dunno how it came about, but I can imagine it's pretty simple: someone brought up the throat singing, they played a clip of it a few times, then someone remarked that it sounded like Bonaduce. Laughter ensued, and thus everytime he's mentioned they play that clip.

It was from one of the early Music Mondays. I think it was bad songs to have sex to, and the Tuvan throat singing was one of them. Then it got compared to Bonaduce's voice, and every few days Adam would have conversations with virtual Bonaduce, represented by the throat singing drops. Now they mention something that reminds Bryan of Bonaduce, usually in a negative way (like Adam bitching about fake Christians or a Napoleon complex joke), and in comes the throat singers.

After years of experience on the show, they realized that a lot of the crappiness in the callers' lives is due to their upbringing, and that Jews and Asians TYPICALLY have extremely stable and strong families that preclude them from such terrible lives.

Wait a minute, but everyone's exactly the same. You can't judge. No differences at all. The prisons have just as many Jews as any other group.

I really just don't get Deaf Frat Guy. There are occasional good jokes in there, but they really seem to love him in a way that is beyond me. Maybe the fact that I live around real (but not deaf) frat guys all day kills the joke, and people out of college find it more amusing.

When I was originally listening to the show on the radio, I remember a bit Adam did sometimes where he'd pretend to be like a fortune teller or something, and say really really obvious things followed by "Yes?"

Yeah, that's what I'm afraid of. Adam on his own isn't that good (probably why he hates his stand-up days), but give him someone to play off of and he turns golden. That's probably part of why his sidekicks never bother me, except Bonaduce since he steamrolled all over Adam.

Well, he came up with the idea. If CBS tries to turn it into the same old crap I doubt he'll do it, but if he thinks he can do something with the format that plays to his strengths, then he will.

I was groaning when I saw Lynn and Alex, but they reeled it in a lot compared to their ACS appearances and I actually found it very interesting. All of them have been that way, when Adam gets to just interview people the way he wants to the product is great. I hope he can get in some of the great ACS guests like Ken Burns or Richard Branson.

Given the size of his fanbase, he could charge $5 a year and easily cover all his expenses plus serious profit. I'd have no problem with that. If he gets greedy and wants $20 a month, I imagine the collapse in his audience might get him to tone it down.

I just listened to the Calacanis podcast. It was really good, but loving hell did Adam piss me off at the end with not buying into the whole advertising thing. I think that they need to sit down Adam and loving tell them that advertising on podcasting is taking a 50cal sniper rifle approach to advertisements and that companies do pay out.

I think he's still looking at it in radio terms, where the advertisers do dictate content to a large extent. He's reluctant because he doesn't want to be censored, and I don't think he understands that internet advertising isn't going to censor him.

Part of it is strange because their rates are so low. And it ruins their argument that taxes kill business when you notice that the most productive economic time in our country was also when the tax rates were the highest... corporations paid the majority of all taxes and the rich were paying like 70%.

I don't think that more taxes = prosperity, but clearly it doesn't hurt the economy.

Donny doesn't seem too bright, but I love when he starts laughing like a hyena in the background. My favorite was when someone asked Adam a family question, in the "Don't your parents have pictures of you?" vein and Donny just went into hysterics. It's one thing when Adam does, but having the independent verification was just fantastic to me.

His argument, that I have heard numerous times on his show, for "Why they hate us?" has nothing to do with imperialism or hegemony and everything to do with "They're jealous/They hate our freedoms". That is probably one of his most ridiculous views, and again seems to come from a basic lack of knowledge.

Every time he starts into that I want to call and try to educate him a bit, but I don't think he'd listen. I'm a little surprised really, he's not educated but our issues in the ME started during his lifetime, I would've thought he noticed the massive difference. Iran was a reasonably friendly westernized democracy until they took over BP and we installed the Shah. Sigh.
