Well I went in for the DVD and T-Shirt and it immediately took the money from my Paypal account. Maybe they refund it if they don't meet the goal. :ohdear:

Or maybe he'll make the movie regardless of how much he raises through crowd funding and everyone that contributed will get the gifts.

I think the difference between this and Kickstarter are that he gets the money regardless of whether he hits his goal or not. I think I heard an interview with the guy who runs it, just can't remember if it was Carolla or not.

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.

I remember reading an awesome joke on twitter that went something like "I don't want to sound racist but all the women on the cover of O magazine look the same"

Are you friends with me on Facebook? Because I posted that word for word a while ago. :)

(Which, as Adam always says, people think the same way so it's perfectly possible that the joke could have come from two different people)

I hope someone who's pretty good about checking out each new piece of content can post if there's more news on Adam and his marriage, as I'm stupidly interested in the drama of his life a lot more now that he's fallen to being someone I legitimately consider to be a 'bad person' with his conservatism and behavior from the past handful of years. If he or Lynette make some big news about a divorce, I'd love to know about it without having to suffer through each day's podcast and all.

One thing I did pick up on was when he was talking about meeting Vince Vaughn, he mentioned that he's moving into his neighborhood. Doesn't necessarily mean anything...but who knows. Maybe he's moving there by himself.

I love that Jimmy Kimmel banned him from attending the screening of the last episode because he'd only watched the first.

Alison didn't spoil anything, the closest it comes to spoilers is Carolla mentioning that people were tweeting him stuff like "he died doing what he loved, or something" which is pretty vague.

I'm gonna get poo poo for this but I'm kinda with him here. The finale was a big deal and a lot of people have seen it and are going to talk about it. Now I don't think you should spell out the ending, so I disagree with him on that point, but discussing it generally I'm totally for, and that's what Alison did. That's the kind of news stuff that totally belongs in her segment.
Yeah that's going to be tough, if you use any sort of social media or go on the internet... Netflix takes forever to put stuff up. Good news though, I doubt it will come up on the podcast again as he'll probably never see the rest of the show!

I'm with you. Everyone and their brother has been talking about Breaking Bad for at least 2 years now, and if you waited to start watching it until now, I'm sorry - you're going to hear spoilers.

I have a friend I've been telling he needs to watch Breaking Bad since season 2, and he finally just started watching it and loves it. However, he was EXTREMELY pissed off because (major spoilers) Dean Norris mentioned something on an awards show on how even though Hank was dead, he was always going to be around. I told him I feel for him...but if he had just started watching it when I told him to, it wouldn't have been an issue. I'm not going to intentionally spoil it for anyone, but there will be someone somewhere who does.

I've been a giant Carolla fan forever, I was downloading the Adam Carolla Show podcasts when they were just being uploaded after the radio show. But I think it's time for him to focus on the other things he's got going (movie, TV show, racing) and maybe scale back on the main podcast. There's so much filler in it now that I end up skipping half the episodes. I think getting it twice a week would be fine, at this point.

It's hard to say from here but I would guess that if Carolla's life goes to hell it will be due to his working too much more than his drinking too much.

Agree it was probably in Alison's interest to leave. Assuming she keeps her show going I'm sure she'll give a straight version as to what she thinks happened.

I doubt she'll say anything. If it was something awful, she won't say anything because of a potential lawsuit, and if it was something trivial she'll avoid saying anything to not trash her relationship with Adam further. No sense burning bridges if they're not already smoldering.

Why would he be expected to give free studio time to people? He spent a lot of money building a nice studio. She can complain about the terms but without Adam her show gets 20 downloads a week or whatever it was doing before.

And that's why she was content to just move on and forget the past. Then Carolla had to dedicate a podcast to blazing her so she pretty much had to tell her side.

I can't tell if Adam is a bad actor or if it's just that listening to the podcast for years makes it like seeing a friend of yours acting in a film. It's very difficult to suspend disbelief and believe in the legitimacy of a character when you know the guy personally.

I feel the same way. It really didn't help that many of the jokes are straight from the podcast. I'll be interested to see how it does on RT with non listeners.

I saw the movie, it's not bad, but it's not great either. And there are some elements that are really distracting. Larry Miller's "Baby Doll" character is just kind of sad and confusing, while Phil Rosenthal is a real life, unblinking, terrifying version of The Joker:



I get that Larry Miller was lampooning Adam's real life agent...but I got real sick of "Baby doll!" about the 50th time I heard it.

I liked The Hammer, it told a good, original story despite recycling a bunch of Adam's material. But honestly I think Road Hard is just a bad movie.

I remember back when he left regular radio and started the podcast, his very first episode was him talking about how radio producer guys are like beavers, you put them up on top of a skyscraper and they'll try to build a dam because that's all they know how to do.

Jump forward 5+ years or whatever it's been, and the show's almost completely transformed into a morning zoo with a soundboard, the standard sidekick news girl and Pepsi ads :sigh:

My favorite quote of his will always be something along the lines of "My radio show is better than other shows because other people are comedy warehouses, just bringing out the same material over and over again. What I do is harder, I'm a comedy factory, producing new comedy all the time. "

Most of us grew up on Loveline and remember when he wasn't such a piece of poo poo. That's why we hate it now and bemoan the state of Carolla.

We also got sick of Adam repeating the same jokes repeatedly and becoming a hypocrite. I was a die hard Carolla fan - living in Michigan I would download his California radio show, then hopped aboard his podcast right away. The dynamic he had initially with Brian and Teresa was great, they'd discuss things and have legitimate debates. Brian became more of a Yes Man, and Teresa went on to do other things and was replaced by Alison. Alison still had a personality but was less of an opponent than Teresa was. Then she got fired and the replacement is a bobblehead.

I don't really understand the lofty heights that Carolla is bitter about not reaching/being a part of. Do you mean a Letterman style TV personality? He's made a ton of money.. by any measure he is successful. What is wrong with doing your own thing and not having to answer to the execs and still making plenty of bank. He answers to noone, it certainly sounds that way. He doesn't seem to be the kind of person that would be happy towing the network line.

He's a comic, I would have thought he's done most of what any comic wants to do. He played football and worked construction. We're not talking about some amazing mind going to waste.

He still thinks he's better than a lot of celebrities out there (And even though I'm sick of him, there was some truth to that before). For example - he's almost always a "fill in" on Jimmy Kimmel, rather than being a featured guest. I think this burns him more than he lets on - not only is he not a primary guest, it's on his friend's show. I think he thinks he should be where Jimmy is.
