I should qualify by stating that I also listen to the film vault and a whole bunch of ancillary media that kind of fleshes out how terrible he is. He's unfortunately a part of a lot of stuff that I listen to.

I listen to the Film Vault too, and I still like him. I don't know what other ancillary media he's in though.

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.

His drop machine is broken. He said it at the top of the show, he has a very select few drops on the laptop he's using.

Adam's dad was a substitute teacher and later a therapist. On the radio show his dad said his best year income wise was in the mid 40k's. And I think that was when Adam was already out of the house.

His mom was an "academic" that was on welfare and lived on her mother's dime.

But seriously, he said that poo poo all the time. Every time Drew would mention something about being overbearing with his kids.

After hang listened to Gina on Conway & Whitman I think she'd be fine as a second fiddle, but it's going to be hard to be great for Adam AND the fans like us because she's going to have to be completely involved in the Carolla world and also challenge him. That just seems so loving tiring to do every day and sometimes weekends.

3/14 is a solo podcast of hers where she rebuts a little bit more the ridiculous, "reasons" adam had for firing her, but that's the only episode of late i'm aware of. from what i understood, she basically wanted very badly to just not have to go into that poo poo anymore,
Yeah, except now she's doing a weekly segment about refuting one thing Adam said because it gets good ratings. TrappDog even wrote a song for it.

In short, they are both autistic narcissists and it's probably best for both of them to not work together.

Yeah, on Thursday. The one labelled "a new segment". With the song. Like I said in my first post.

That's the problem with Adam. He went from pretty poor to pretty rich really quick. He'll never understand anything besides that, because that's what he thinks happens when you get a good hold on those bootstraps.

I agree on that. Most of the show should just be Adam ripping on the work and making jokes about stuff. All the detective stuff seems fake and boring. Maybe part of the problem is that it feels like Adam has a very limited schedule for shooting.

I'd love to see a "Holmes on Homes" type show with Carolla.

Adam isn't anywhere close to that knowledgable though.

Which is another reason why they can't work outside Southern California on the show.

Loveline was good because Adam had good ideas and could express them convincingly with metaphor and humor, AND because he was addressing actual peoples' problems with them. Now it's mostly addressing minor very-specific-to-his-life bothers that he writes down on buck slips. And yeah he had less other stuff going on / was more focused / was younger.

After listening to Adam since 1995, I'm not sure if there is a more succinct way to put it. Kudos.

Don't listen to Adam and Drew. It's the worst of both of them.

Adam used to rail on the right all the time in the 90s. Gun control, religious fundamentalism, birth control and abortion are the ones I remember. He'd specifically call out "republicans".

I'm not sure if his politics have changed, although they generally do as people age, or he just doesn't talk about those things in the same way he used to. I certainly know his audience isn't the same, and that might also contribute to his descent into FYGM ridiculousness.

2006 was my first year in my line of work where I had a job I which I had an office and a desk and the ability to listen to radio in the morning so after having listened to Adam regularly on Loveline up until 2000 it was quite a shock when I heard him on morning radio.

It was chaotic and frenzied and great (and horrible). Mostly because as much radio as Adam had done this was new and he was having to depend on good, funny, interesting people around him to help and challenge him because the format threw him for a loop.

Now is the opposite and I haven't listened in months.

Also, the builder poo poo is bunk. Adam knows quite a bit about building, if you stopped learning in 1992. He quit being up with the times, and blames everyone else. You shouldn't attempt to be a GC in your spare time and complain about how difficult it is. Dude was still quizzing people on nailing schedules in the 2010s without knowing he was hilariously out of date (and also wrong, because the specs change engineer to engineer and he doesn't really build anything of consequence).

Adam has been a comedian or whatever a lot longer than he was ever in the trade, so this weird reverence he still has for his own knowledge or that part of his life is like someone clinging onto the time they did something cool in high school and can't get it go.
