He didn't mention that you have to send the jacket of his new book "president me" to get the deal. He'll sign them both, though.

Yeah I just saw that on his site. Hopefully he just sells me the book, it would be a dick move to return the check.

Oliver died, and it was a hard listen, but if you're interested Alison somehow keeps her poo poo together and it was a good conversation. On the Taleeb Starks one.

That was extremely sad. I wish the other dog owner could be forced to listen to it.

Got my $10 signed copy of Not Taco Bell Material! He signed the dust jacket and the first page, very strange.

Nice! Did you send in a jacket of President Me?

Actually for this copy I just sent him a check and a note asking for a signed book. This was before I found out he wanted you to send in the jacket for President Me so I wasn't sure if he'd honor it.

He removed the book jacket requirement later on so I sent him another check with the instructions here:

The envelope wasn't in my handwriting and was sent with stamps.com so I think i'll be getting a second copy.

Haha score! I like that he provided the envelope for the return send. That's a classy move. How big does the return envelope have to be?

9x12 and it doesn't need to be padded really.

The only 'luck' involved in Adam's career was turning the radio on at the right time to hear that KROQ wanted a boxing instructor.

The Norman Lear episode was great.

I cannot believe how brutal it must feel to be spoken about publicly as being "not a good sidekick" after having that job for like 5 years???

Not to mention bald Bryan still has a job and he is the most useless, white noise human being on the earth.

Except he said she was a good sidekick. Just not a great one. Plus he said she was a better host than a sidekick which is a compliment. This will probably end up being a good thing for her career anyway.

Listened to the first part of the most recent podcast.

He and BB opened by openly mocking the idiots who suggested a love affair. Then they settled in, Adam started reiterating that Alison is a good writer, a good lead, not a good sidekick, etc. Adam acknowledged that he was basically retarded as far as referring to giving Gina and Tim Conway a proper sendoff right after talking about firing Alison.

Adam then said that even though he looks like he's being cruel, he really means what he's saying, that he doesn't think Alison should continue on this job. "just because you CAN do something, doesn't mean you SHOULD do something".

Also "I think she's got a lot in the tank, and not much of it is coming out" because she's basically being quiet and deferring to Adam, being repressed by her role, etc. He basically spent a bit of time saying that he thinks she'll now probably be more creative and produce a lot of stuff now that she's freed from his shadow.

Also said she'd probably sit there listening to the same stories for the next five years and not really get kicked out from behind the drum kit so to speak"

"I didn't do this.... FOR HER.... but I feel like some people can fall into a position and stagnate"

Adam also admitted that, regarding his short curt email, "she didn't get what she deserved out of it" "I should have done a better job, I wasn't thinking about it like I should have", etc

This is exactly what I figured happened and all of you over reacted. :colbert:

Adams willingness to joke about race and religion is one of the biggest reasons I listen to him and I don't consider it racist.

People weren't this uptight 10 years ago, especially here.

Yeah, I think that aspect of the situation isn't all his fault. These days people are becoming more and more uptight and unwilling to deal with others who have opinions that don't mirror their own, in comedy these days you do see a lot of circlejerking over the same opinions. That being said, Adam is an ignorant idiot almost anytime he tries to make a real point, and he seems to be getting worse.

Yeah I agree about his ignorance. I think it all stems from his "real world" experience being over 20 years old now.

Like it bugs me when he says you can get a taco at Taco Bell for 40 cents, etc etc.

No. You can be fine as a white person by not ignoring or defending the racial status quo. Where was that chart that showed that the average Hispanic and Black family in America being, like, 15k each in worth, with whitey up at 150k?

I'm owed 20 years of back white privilege then, where can I pick up my check?

Do you expect anything else from an Axl apologist? This is the man who publicly defended Chinese Democracy in earnest.

This makes me like David Wild even more because Chinese Democracy ruled.

I had a Carolla moment today while talking with an ex-girlfriend about a guy she went on a date with. She said he was a very handsome white guy (she's Cuban), "Like, uh, Ryan Gosling? Is that a white guy?" she asked me. I said, yeah and added "Look at you, pulling down hot studs."

"That's what he did for a living!"
"What?"
"He pulled down studs. Demolitions."

And then, possessed by the spirit of the Ace Man, we spent about three minutes talking about how loving crazy it was that I'd said that and that's his job.

Awesome. Usually when I pull a Carolla with my wife it's me angrily complaining about something stupid.

Finally watched Road Hard last night. Basically the same as The Hammer, just replacing the boxing with stand up. Even takes time to show his love for carpentry. All the jokes were straight from his every day rants about service dogs,etc. Even had DAG doing the Teddy Pendegrass bit.

Everyone's acting was ok besides Carolla's, 5.5/10

edit: the best thing about the movie was larry miller as babydoll.

That's kind of a let down. I'm still going to wait to watch it when I get my DVD from the pledge, then I'm gonna send it to him to get signed.
