From everything I've heard they both sound like huge pains in the rear end. What happened on For Crying Out Loud?

Boinks posted:She took the kids and "left" him because hes being a sperg. When it comes to Lynette complaining he isn't that involved with the kids education I'm usually on Adam's side since he works incredibly hard to earn a good living and as far as I know Lynette doesn't work nearly as many hours as him (does she still have a job even?) plus they have a full-time nanny. My dad was the same way, didn't take a big interest in my education and spent most of his time building his business and I turned out just fine. Keep in mind too they live in LA where things are way different than the rest of the world, parents are expected to be super involved with every aspect of school, like Adam often talks about. My dad would have never taken a whole weekday off to run a bakesale or something for my class, no way. I think Adam deserves a little more slack in that department, though admittedly we don't know the full extent of it. On the other hand, Adam being an rear end in a top hat like in the fish taco incident or bitching about leaving lights on and caps off of jars is completely his fault and I totally agree with Lynette about that. I'm also willing to bet that Adam's latest foray into therepy is an ultimatum by her.

Niwrad posted:The name and marketing for the show made it seem like something it wasn't. It was actually just a funny sketch comedy show. I wonder if Adam's career would have gone differently if that show wasn't based around "manliness" or whatever. If it was just presented as a regular sketch comedy show with two guys hosting. Adam did a great job of describing it once by saying the media painted it as a chauvinistic show where they put down women and praised men, but men (and most often Jimmy and Adam themselves) were always the butt of the joke. Really I think it was the girls jumping on trampolines that everyone picked up and ran with without actually watching the sketches. Ez fucked around with this message at 00:44 on Sep 10, 2013 |

RightClickSaveAs posted:Yep, I tapped out about 10 minutes into Dennis Prager's segment today. I was going to give it a shot because I'd never listened to him before, but there's just something about his voice and the way he speaks. I feel like I'm listening to AM radio and I have this visceral reaction. Carolla bloviates on a lot of the same subjects, and I'd imagine not as informed as Dennis Prager does, but Carolla at least works in some dick jokes now and then or something. Dennis Prager makes me feel like I'm being preached or lectured at. Prager is the absolute biggest blowhard I have ever heard. He's like Rush Limbaugh only more self-righteous, and you're right he has the most stereotypical AM radio voice, he's like a cartoon character. I even agree with a fair amount of what he says but he has a way of overblowing smaller aspects if bigger issues and sounding like an douchebag. A good example of this is when he started complaining about fathers calling their sons "buddy". He talked about it like it was a huge problem, which is ridiculous. His underlying point is that kids should respect their fathers and fathers shouldn't strive to be their sons friends and undermine their parenthood, which I agree with, but if I call my son "buddy" it has nothing to do with that, it's just a friendly greeting.

Ariza posted:It's also 100% true to a sizable portion of the country across all races. It's absolutely racist though but it'll die out soon enough. Going by the people I know, I think Jews and Asians are much more adamant about dating within the tribe than white people. You guys have made more inroads on that than most races, in the US at least. Yeah it's a racist thing, not wanting to mix races, but Adam calling it out doesn't make him racist. Also, I've known a couple people who simply aren't attracted to certain races and I know they're not racist. That caller was weird though, she has a black boyfriend who she loves and has sex with but she doesn't want to have kids with because she doesn't want black children? Is she a racist? Yes and no, I don't know. "We've crafted a society" where if you even mention somebody's race you're branded a racist so it's hard to know what the term really means anymore but in my mind you have to have some sort of hatred, fear or distrust of a certain race of people to truly be racist. Adam says a lot of racist things and has a lot of biased and ignorant opinions on race that make him sound like a huge biggot but I don't think he harbours any real negative feelings towards any race in particular. Medullah posted:Unfortunately there's still a stigma out there for mixed kids, and it is racist. But could be equal parts racism on her part and a desire for her kids to not grow up being bullied because of their race. Lets not forget that woman was from Georgia too. I'm sure it's a much bigger deal there.

WampaLord posted:Literally the "I'm not a racist, but..." line but applied to someone else. Ez, you seem like a cool dude who likes Adam, but you have to admit he's racist. Racism isn't just calling black people the n-word and joining the KKK, and Adam is a huge practitioner of dog-whistle racism. I have no idea what "dog whistle racism" is but I just see Adam as a simple minded, old fashioned, practical guy who is too stubborn to admit that he doesn't have all the answers. If you think he's racist then fine, but I don't think there's anything hateful or malicious behind the things that he says. Ignorant and short sighted sure, but I don't think he hates black people or Asian people or whatever.

Holy gently caress, Bryan has gotten so lazy with the drops. Allison talked about fearing ants crawling up her butt yesterday and he didn't play "There's something in my butt", and then later Adam talked about Whoopee Goldberg stammering on the view and he didn't play that clip of Whoopee stammering. He did shoehorn in "It's just a waste of my time" in a spot where it made no sense though, so I guess he earned his paycheck this week.

Like when they're talking about his daughter spitting in Olga's face and how it's a huge insult in Latin countries, then she casually jumps in saying it's a compliment to her. Went completely ignored but I laughed my rear end off at her delivery. She should adopt the Bald Bryan method and just interrupt people in the middle of sentences with lovely jokes so that they have no choice but to go "heh, yeah" just to shut him and finish their point.

Niwrad posted:. It was one of Alison's best though. Bringing up Napolean Dynamite and then setting up the "Dude" off with DDP and Dawson. I wish they'd just drop the newsgirl stuff and let her do her own segment or something on the show. She can still bring up news during the show if things slow down. She's starting to grow on me and I think she's funny but in a bad position. You're totally right, and you can even hear her getting frustrated when she wants to talk about news and Adam keeps interrupting for a lame joke or to retell an old story and she only gets to bring up one or two news pieces. The news is my favourite segment only because of Alison's sense of humour and the fact that someone other than Adam introducing topics is often the only source of new material the show gets. Bryan is trying to shoehorn himself into the show as a cohost it seems but really that should be Allison's spot. I really wish Adam would step back a bit and let her do more.

Other than that I have 2 thoughts on today's episode: 1. Holy poo poo Brad Williams is hilarious 2. Out of all of the jokes Adam repeats constantly the "Oprah on the cover of her magazine" one is now the one that annoys me the most. Holy poo poo we get it, it's not funny, stop bringing it up.

Niwrad posted:Loveline had some epic rants against religion back in the day. Now he tours with one of those guys he used to lambaste. I guess I can't blame him since that's where the money is at, but I don't like it when he pretends he's the same guy he was. I believe he even said he envies those who are religious a while ago, which he would never have said on Loveline (which is where that horrible Oprah joke that you all love so much originated. Guess I just don't like hearing the same joke for 15 years). In defence of Brad Williams I think Adam made more jokes about Brad's height than he did, at the end he was turning almost everything into a height joke. I'll admit I've never seen Brad's standup act so maybe it's midget joke city but at least he is genuinely funny to back it up.

Grant DaNasty posted:I've been listening to Carolla's podcasts everyday for over a year now. Usually I can shrug off his horrible opinions because I mostly enjoy his shows, and I think he's quick witted and funny. But occasionally like today he can piss me off where I have to just shut it off. I always defend Adam when people call him sexist, racist etc. but I can't defend the fact that he really really hates poor people. This thing where he thinks all poor people are lazy and stupid comes from his black and white, concrete thinking based solely on his experiences. His parents were poor and lazy, therefore all poor people are lazy. Adam wasn't bullied in school, therefore bullying doesn't exist. He has never known a person with peanut allergies, therefore nobody has peanut allergies. He also still hasn't realized that things like passionfruit iced tea, weird club sandwiches and fingerprinting coaches are primarily LA things and the rest of the world isn't like that, but LA is where he lives and therefore its the entire planet. I think Adam is a pretty smart person generally but that's the most basic, primitive mindset you can have.

So bullied kids are only bullied because they believe they're being bullied. It's part of Adam's retarded mental attitude that if something doesn't happen to him or someone he knows then it doesn't happen. He's not allergic to peanuts and neither are any of his friends, therefore peanut allergies don't exist.

El Gallinero Gros posted:What he never mentions of course (and I know you were being sarcastic) is that he became rich and famous largely by benefit of knowing Jimmy Kimmel. This isn't to say Adam's not capable of being funny, but he was struggling pretty bad before he started doing radio with Jimmy, to hear him tell it. And if Jimmy hadn't met Kevin and Bean he wouldn't be where he is today. While I don't entirely disagree with you there's probably one of those "big break" moments in every successful show biz person's career and I don't think its fair to just flat out say "if X never happened then they would never be Y". Maybe if Adam hadn't met Jimmy he would have made it on his own, maybe he wouldn't. Maybe he'd be successful in some other way because I don't think you can disagree with the fact that Adam does work really hard for his money. Though in Adam's world since he accomplished something, everybody who can't do the same is either stupid or lazy.

Surviving a brain tumor (thanks to Adam) I want to read it out of sheer curiosity over how he will manage to fill a whole book, but there is no way I'm paying for it new.

Now I only listen to the main podcast if you guys suggest an episode, or if it's a guest I know will make it tolerable. I'm pretty much the same way. I haven't listened to the show in a couple months and keep up with the thread for that occasional good episode recommendation or to find out if something shocking happens. I'm not surprised that they're shilling boner pills and psychics, it all started with that Lumosity thing and Adam stating how much he takes coconut extract to make him smarter, what a crock of poo poo. I miss Mangrate, he seemed like he genuinely liked that product so it didn't make the show feel so soulless.
