Misty, Tammy, Angel, and especially Cammy are the ones that I have a vivid recall of Adam explicitly mentioning. In fact, I can hear Adam verbatim in my head say "Show me a Cammy, and I'll show you a BJ." If I sat and tried to take a mental sample of the people I've known in my life it's spot on in accuracy, but like most Loveline assumptions Adam was just relying on his incredible social knowledge. I would definitely like to back up more claims made on the show, because Adam knew inside and out the youth trash of America.

God DAMMIT Adam stop eating into the mike it's gross.

1997-10-19, Adam spends a large part of the last quarter of the episode eating some pie someone left in the studio. Drew repeatedly tells him it sounds disgusting but Adam insists it doesn't. Mike then cranks up the volume on a 10 second segment of the worst of it and plays it over and over (starting from 1:18:30).

That episode also had the fart in the coffee can story. I laughed like an idiot on the bus.

When I was new to Loveline, they got a string of girls named Krystal (spelled with a K, of course) one after the other, and I thought it was an on-air pseudonym.

Does anyone offhand remember the date of the episode where a caller reminds Adam/Anderson of the singer from King Missile and there's a long, amazing derail where they play "Detachable Penis" and try to get the caller to say the lines?

I'm pretty sure there was no guest which is why I'm having trouble tracking it down.

I heard that podcast over the weekend and it was really nothing. I've heard comedians say much, much worse about various countries without feeling that they were being malicious or racist.

It's just one of those things where the right (wrong) person happened to be listening at the right (wrong) time and decided to raise a fuss about it.

I was reading Freakonomics, and it mentioned the low-income girl's names most commonly assigned by their dead beat parents. Misty, Angel, Tammy, and Tabitha were all on there, and were some of Adam's ways of spotting a whore. I just wanted to chime in and add credibility to the incredible intuitive knowledge between Adam and Drew about young people in America. Has anyone else read anything or correlated data to some of the other reaching claims made on the show? Is Florida really bad or are the crimes just bizarre and because of that more widely published?

I read something probably 5 years ago that was a pretty detailed study of the weird phenomenon of name choice predicting future successes or failures.

It touched upon the idea of males giving their sons "soft" names to toughen them up (the "Boy Named Sue" concept), people naming their kids positive things (like th football player Peerless Price), and the idea of certain names becoming low-class names.

It was pretty interesting, it said that names that are popular among the upper-class will, in 15-20 years become lower-class names because the poor girls want their daughters to be seen as the rich girls they wanted to be. For example, names like Brittany and Crystal were rich girl names 20-25 years ago, so now they're white trash names because moms wanted a better life for them.

To degrade an entire nation of people though is obviously inexcusable and Carolla was clearly not thinking when he opened his mouth with that one.

Brian, Pittsburgh: "Carolla probably planned this just to get people mad, how often does someone usually call up his show to talk about boxing? Come on, this was a send up from the start"

That whole article was hilarious to read from the perspective of having listened to Adam for years. Adam degrading an entire nation and not thinking before speaking? That's him in a nutshell. If he did think about who was listening when he was talking he would probably be much less entertaining.

That was such a great episode. Unfortunately I think the closest I can place it is in 2005, and that's just a hunch. I'm pretty sure Anderson played a bit of it for the last drop so if you were skimming for it I'd just skip to the end of show drop.

This whole thing is hilarious. It's a mix of good points (respecting the retarded blood test thing) and massive ignorance, like most of his rants about other countries, and something he's been doing practically every week for years. But suddenly it's a big deal.

That's hilarious, my fiance is a Filipina nurse and she's a Dr. Drew and lesser extent Adam Carolla fangirl. Listening to Adam on archived Loveline episodes is actually one of the few areas we have continued to mutually bond.

I showed her this article and her reaction was that Filipinos are the least likely people to complain about racism after hundreds of years of multi-racial colonialism. She said that Manny Pacquiao is more popular than the standing president in the Philippines, which is what the uproar is truly about.

This is a chapter from the book "Freakonomics" by Levitt and Dubner. It's a decent read.

Oh man, wish I could find that episode in the archives. But really, for someone who's always complaining to Drew about bad radio he seems to have some atrocious table manners. Or maybe it's just because I listen with earbuds in and don't like smacking noises that close to my brain.

I don't really get this outrage. I mean people get angry at him sometimes when they make fun of their race/group/whatever, but I've never seen it on this scale before. I didn't take it personally when he made fun of Japanese or people from Hawaii.

You have no idea how much Filipinos worship Pacquaio. You won't find a single Filipino, even on American soil, who hasn't at least heard of the man. I figure it's kind of like talking trash about Gandhi.
