I havent listened to the Jo Koy episode yet, but I am excited now. EDIT - listened to the Jo Koy episode last night, it was as good as everyone said. Started getting nervous will Bill Oreilly came up, but everything stayed on track. I wish that Adam would do what Scott Aukerman does on Comedy Bang Bang where he pretty much just has a rotating cast of people he is funny with that just keep coming back. If hes not going to interview guests, why bother having them on? Episodes with people who fit into Adams style of comedy are so freaking good, its a shame they happen so infrequently.

The occasional gripe I have with Adam is that he has had talented musicians, actors, and comics on that never get to say anything. There have been a few episodes in the last few months where I was genuinely interested in hearing from the guest, but instead Adam does all of the talking while the person I want to hear from barely gets to 'crack wise'. What makes it more painful is that Adam is telling a story he has already told on one of his other podcasts or already told on the ACS. Obviously guests like Jo Koy and DAG can roll and it is always funny, but not everyone has a strong improv background.

Holy poo poo Bryan, stop butting into every conversation to needlessly bring up a movie. You're not "the movie guy", you're a loving moron and you're not funny. Jesus Christ does this bother anyone else as much as it does me? He does it at least twice an episode. Adam is trying to be funny and Bryan has to butt in and "The French are nuts too, have you seen Irreversible?". Nobody laughs, nobody agrees with him, awkwardly move on. His reference doesn't even make sense and only goes to show that he really doesn't get movies since Irreversible isn't a "nuts" movie and doesn't portray the french specifically as being weird or depraved. He doesn't even understand its meaning, but he has to bring it up for some kind of foreign movie geek cred. Also stop with the "boom" during the news theme, nobody laughs at it, it's old, shut up. If Bryan left the show it would install become 100 times better, he's the only thing keeping me from fully enjoying the show. Ez fucked around with this message at 03:27 on Jun 17, 2013 |

This is a city where Carrot Top routinely plays to sold out crowds and people still pay to see Rita Rudner. Even on morning radio shows where the host very deliberately set comedians up so they can go into bits the guy flounders. The guy is talented impersonator he just needs to hire better writers or take some improv classes.

And then drew chalked up adam's communication issues to “gender differences” or some bullshit while in the same breath pointing out the issues Adam has with relating to people. Drew really seems to be codependent to the extent that he can't have a realistic view of anyone close to him, much less Adam.

I didnt listen to this yet but I heard Lynette on Alisons podcast awhile back and it was.... sad. Alison was asking her about how they met and the beginning of their relationship and Lynette seemed so happy and excited about all of the nice things that Adam had done. And then she finished off the story by saying something along the lines of "but its not really like that anymore...". I mean, no ones relationship is the same after many years as it was in the beginning but I suspect there has been a much bigger swing with Adam and Lynette than most. He sounded amazing in the beginning and now... not so much.

I think Lynette plays up the negatives a bit on the podcasts. It's part of their schtick. I might be in the minority, but I see them being together for a long time. Adam seems to really care about her and isn't the kind of guy who throws it away for a fling. He's also family oriented and seems to give in to Lynette a lot. I'm sure he's not as romantic as he once way, but you'd be hard pressed to find couples who've been together that long that are. Looking forward to the Drew and Doug Stanhope interview. For those who haven't heard Stanhope's bit on it, here it is. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DuIV7e5LJms

Lynette is, to be kind, an absolute disaster in front of a microphone. She has an annoying voice, she constantly coughs and clears her throat, and says 'right' after EVERY sentence the other person says. I know why she got her own podcast, but... who is listening to it?

I assume there's a certain subset of people who like that she's so unpolished. People can relate to her, minus the being very wealthy part. Also, I doubt Adam would have any problem axing her show if it was unprofitable.

I listened to her show regularly a few years back - I remember it being not terrible. Details escape me, but basically she spent her time talking about her kids and giving a second perspective on Adam's family based rants. I am a parent of twins so maybe that is why I thought her children centric shows were tolerable, though!

Speaking of Garigos, I'm glad he's a regular now, he's a really smart and funny guy, but oh my god Dawson's "intro" is loving terrible. They must have spent a total of 2 minutes on that one. It makes "Baldywood" sound like Sinatra.

Adam will never go for it, but I'd love for Lynette to go on the Adam & Drew Show. I think it'd be a fascinating episode with Drew trying to mediate. I'd also love to hear Adam's Mom or Dad do Drew's show by themselves. Drew always teases getting these people on for shows and never follows through. It'd make for an amazing podcast.

I can't believe how much better the show was without Bryan today. It was so refreshing to not hear lovely drops constantly and him chiming in every 5 seconds with an unfunny joke, stifling his own laughter as he says it. It was a brave sacrifice his father-in-law made so we can have a break from him. Posehn didn't seem like he was too interested in being there, he didn't participate much. He's so funny, it's a shame.

I've always just thought that's how Posehn was in general, he's a pretty laid back guy. This dates way back to one of the first radio things I heard him on, when he did Loveline with Patton Oswalt (they were touring together).

I hate saying this because I like Brian Posehn, but he's not a very good comedian, and a pretty bad actor. I like him personally, at least as much as you can with someone you don't know in real life, and he seems like a really cool guy and a good buddy, which is probably why he's got a career in the first place. I like his cover of The Gambler, though, and he was funny on Mr. Show.

It was a brave sacrifice his father-in-law made so we can have a break from him. I don't even think he does many drops these days. He talks a lot more since he started doing his movie reviews. The show is dramatically better without him. Alison can get a word in and she actually works well with Adam when Bryan isn't bringing the show to a halt constantly. I guess Adam still feels sorry for him, but it's really uncomfortable when Adam gets rolling and Bryan chimes in with something unfunny and Adam has to sort of fake chuckle and move on.

I like Posehn and I think he is a decent stand up. He doesnt do broad comedy though and I think you have to 'get' metal and random nerdy stuff to appreciate his comedy. He doesnt click with me all that well, but I appreciate what he does. His stuff is just pretty specific, even in the world of alt-comedy. I do agree with the notion that he tends to not be great on podcasts and stuff. He does work best with his written material. I thought he was pretty good on the Sarah Silverman Program too.

Carolla's upcoming crowdsourced movie "Road Hard"'s funding campaign is now up on... FundAnything.com? I'd never heard of this until now and was wondering why he went with this over the obvious choices like Kickstarter, until I looked up Fundanything:quote:http://www.deadline.com/2013/06/donald-trumps-fundanything-hires-producer-brad-wyman-aims-to-celebritize-crowdfunding/  So that's why, it looks like Carolla's movie may be a sort of test run for this new thing.$10 is the lowest level, for a copy of the screenplay and some kind of website access. $4,000 to be an extra, $10,000 for a speaking role! This sounded like a really terrible idea, but as is usually the case for these things, the barrier to entry is high enough that it shouldn't be an issue. e: quote:$110 RightClickSaveAs fucked around with this message at 01:53 on Jul 3, 2013 |

I have no interest in this thing, I'm sure it'll just be another story modelled after his life where he tells the same jokes we hear on the podcast every day. I liked The Hammer but that was made back when he put a little effort into his comedy and even it had a lot of recycled Loveline material in it. He mentioned before he wanted to do a documentary on Paul Newman's racing career, now that's something I'd like to see.

Well the overall premise sounds interesting, comedian(s) who was(were) famous in the 80s and 90s and got big development deals which have since fallen through have to go back out on the road for a living. But who knows, we'll find out. I'm sure the screenplay will hit the internet as soon as it goes out to the backers so we probably won't have to wait long to get an idea.
