My wife listens to the Adam and Drew show regularly and I'll hear it when I'm in the car with her. I agree with all of your complaints about it, but since they made the recent changes it does seem a lot better. A lot more loveliney.

The callers seem better now too. There's less of "Hey Aceman get it on, love the show, love you guys. My question's for Adam, uh, my wife leaves the porch light on sometimes and uh, how do I, uh, get her to not do it" and more actual questions.

His reluctance to crate train his dog is annoying too. Hey dumass just put the dog in the crate when youre gone and it wont poo poo and piss all over the house, or chew stuff up. When the dog gets used to it it becomes a place of comfort for them. My dog sleeps in his kennel all the time.

Or better yet dont get a loving dog and tell your miserable ungrateful kids to STFU.

Yeah you just have to do that with young labs. Most of the time I think that once they get old enough you don't need to crate them anyway. Our dog hated the gently caress out of it but he couldn't be left alone until he was three, after that he stopped eating everything in the house. You just need to run them or play fetch or some poo poo for a long time when you get home to make sure they're not miserable.

My dogs a year and a half old and we dont lock him up when we leave anymore. He also only weighs 35 lbs and is not a Lab.

Adam's is a lab though right?

I feel like labs hold a special place in the world of dogs eating poo poo. Ours tore up a box of shotgun shells once and one time somehow opened the door to the fridge and ate an entire lasagna. He was hospitalized once because he (unbeknownst to us) could hop onto the counter, and from there, get on top of the fridge where there was 4 bags of bakers chocolate. Like I said before he's calmed down now, but sometimes I still find a fork or a spoon that I know was in the sink when I left on the floor, implying that at 9 years old he can still hop onto the counter and just walk around.

so yeah crate training is needed sometimes

I disagree with Adam on a lot of political issues but that's not what stopped me from listening to his show. It was hearing the same drat story over and over again for years that did it. D'Souza being on would probably have driven me away though, he's like laughably horrible.

This is the final recourse of the “both sides same” guy in the Trump years. They can’t say that anymore because Trump is fantastically stupid and unbelievably not qualified for any job, and they know it, so instead of both sides being the same it’s “actually the president doesn’t matter.” It’s pathetic.

If he can overcome these great obstacles all the MEXICANS and BLACKS can overcome systemic poverty and become man show hosts or something as well. Family, and education.

I'm not going to fact check this back to the 90s or whatever but it would be very funny if Adam blaming affirmative action for preventing him from being a firefighter was instead him and many other applicants being priced out of the firefighting service in california by barely paid likely POC inmates. not haha funny but you know

it might have also been that he was unskilled and a huge pain in the rear end

Adam’s politics are really only one half of why he became unbearable to me, the other half is him repeating the same stories and bits for decades. Decades. So I imagine hearing him complain about the one time he was caught in LA marathon traffic in 2002 doesn’t feel that much different than him telling it in 2020. That might be another reason why the old shows don’t age that well.

Yes Adam people who wanted americans to make a few temporary sacrifices for the greater public good were the pussies, not the whiny bitchy rich blowhard who complained and did nothing. "Grit" doesn't mean just bitching constantly about your servants you lazy piece of poo poo.

Not like I have a shortage of podcasts to listen to now that there's little commuting happening, but I just recently stumbled across Jim Jefferies' new-ish one "I Don't Know About That".

I've always liked Jim but haven't followed him since he was doing a podcast from another comedian and roommate's house (Jim and Eddie Talk poo poo), and was kinda wondering how his success had treated him. It's striking how much funnier and less lovely a person he seems to have turned out to be than Adam while being a similarly loquacious curmudgeon. The one or two times I remember him being on the show he was always great, and one of the guests who could out-talk Adam.

I listened to a ton Talking poo poo when I was working on my thesis but kind of forgot about it since then. Like the only thing I remember from it really was that time they had a jerk off contest and busted onto paper plates.

The relationship advice on Loveline was very good.

It was usually a variation on "maybe don't think 100% with your clit/dick and realize that everyone is a human being so communicate, dangit" but that's what young people need to hear.

That’s true. Also a lot of the advice they gave was just “get therapy” which is usually pretty solid too.
