Poor loving kid. What a shock, Adam does nothing but complain about his own lovely parents, then continues the cycle by being a lovely parent in turn.

Tbf adam's folks just didn't go to his pop warner football games and Adam upped the ante by ignoring his son’s swollen brain to record a weeks worth of stories he's been telling for 25 years

When did he stop being a guest?

Feb 22, 2009

I never got into his radio show and only listened to his podcast when DAG or someone else notable was on because he was already devoting far too much bleating about grit and conservative bullshit, but I was pretty excited for the Adam and Drew show and probably hung with it for at least a year. I stopped listening to that because if he wasn’t berating drew about something he was screaming about the maid unplugging his iPhone so he had to use his other iPhone and if he wasn’t doing that drew would start whining about the tyranny of the majority and then they’d get to calls and I’d come out of my stupor and it would just be a bunch of sycophantic 30 year olds with bullshit problems.

It didn’t help that iirc classic loveline debuted around that time which was at once leagues better than a&d while also illustrating how lovely they’d both become.

I used to check in maybe once a year if something happened but stopped around 2016 for obvious reasons.

I dropped listening to him in January of... 2009? In the middle of a rant about how torture is good and effective. I just now checked in on this thread to see if I missed anything over the last 9 years and... yikes.

I swear to loving god there was a loveline ep where adam was super proud about how the united states didn't torture people in WWII, but i only heard it once and it was so long ago that i don't know the context nearly enough to find it again. I think it was in response to guantanamo bay because I can't see him getting that up in arms about WWII outside of women who shockingly couldn't shout out spitfire or corsair when prompted to name WWII planes

That was Kelly Osbourne who claim she knew "everything about WWII" from watching the History Channel with Dad. Adam asked her what countries were the Axis powers. She did not know any.

It didn't have the torture bit but it's actually worse than you remember: she thought germany and england were on the same side. In any case, I appreciated the chance to listen to an ep hadn't heard but uh a lot of the program is kinda :whitewater: 16 years on

Doesn’t really shed much light on anything although as I’m typing this Adam compared himself not tacitly refuting trump to a civilian living in occupied Poland and then in the same breath said something along the lines of “no president is going to impact your life” so lmao. Same old Adam I guess

I really don’t think that’s true 96-99, though there’s zero chance I’m going through the Classic Loveline back catalog (if that even exists) to find anything to that up. I know there was an ep in that period of time where he says something and drew says he sounds like a socialist to which Adam replies “maybe I am!”

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

Is there any word on how the podcast is doing numbers wise? With so much competition, it can't be good. And seeing as how others are getting bought up, that's not a good sign either. I'm sure he's still making money but he was one of the biggest podcasts in the world and now it just another podcast.

I think I stopped listening when he'd go on a 5 minute vicious rant because Drew didn't use a coaster or something in the studio.

I couldn't find anything, but I'm sure it's still substantial. Apparently he had Don Jr on at some point so I'm sure that helped. He's doing a ton of work to only be worth ~$18 million lmao

system of a down just put out a new track to draw attention to armenia getting hosed up by azerbaijan. i kinda wonder what adam and drew's takes are considering that their appearances on their show were a big platform for educating people about that genocide. in theory. that's where i learned about it anyway.

Were the Azeri party to the genocide of the Armenians by the Ottoman Empire? Or do you just mean 'bringing attention to the Armenian people and their plight' more broadly.

Ozzie got covid and died, but it's because he had preexisting conditions. The Ace Man is a perfectly normal, perfectly healthy adult who will bull right through it through sheer grit and determination.

Wait, what the gently caress? I mean him being a bad friend isn't exactly news, but he couldn't even bring himself to shut the gently caress up about lockdowns and poo poo for a while in response to that?

also lol not only that but Carolla declined to foot the funeral costs and they had to use a gofundme to get it done

what a truly despicable human

Feel real bad for the kids, but I was heartened by a post in the subreddit that pointed out that carolla will probably refuse to mediate at 40/60 and will probably take it to court and end up with 25/75

Typing that out now im wondering if that isnt some paternity rights bs oh well still hope it happens

Well, that sounds like it went down about as well as it possibly could have. Hopefully adam follows through.

He fell off his bike without a helmet, and then his parents abandoned him at the hospital

Good times etc


click the quote to see the breakdown but it has a pic of mildly hosed up sonny embedded and apparently the full story about the helmet was "Adam was too cheap to buy a second helmet, since there was one "at the shop'"

He's pulling down at least $400 a month on patreon and has recent posts there and on his stupid rear end website. Idk who the hell is paying him because he appears to have been run off of reddit a couple years ago unless the single google search I did was misleading
