 Website|Itunes||RSS feed This is the podcast by radio and TV show host, comedian and literal (LITERAL) millionaire Adam Carolla. Carolla is probably best known for cohosting 10 magical years of Loveline from 1995-2005 with dear, dear friend and man of exceptional passion Dr. Drew Pinksy. He started this podcast in February 2009 immediately after the cancellation of the Adam Carolla Show, a morning radio program he hosted on KLSX in L.A. The first year of the podcast was mostly him doing a "poor man's Charlie Rose", sitting down for one on one interviews with an assortment of actors, musicians and the like in his home/garage/warehouse. The show has gradually morphed into a format loosely resembling the morning radio show, with a soundboard, news segments (really just launchpads for rants), interviews, and recurring bits with semi-regular guests such as Larry Miller and Dana Gould. It's recorded most weekday evenings from one of his warehouses full of cars, which has been partly converted into a recording studio. The celebrity guests cover a broad spectrum of comedians, actors, musicians, authors and miscellaneous personalities, which range from famous (Francis Ford Coppola, Peter North) to weird and niche (the guy who directed Birdemic). Carolla is the driving personality of the show and does approximately 99.99% of the talking. He also tends to talk about himself and complain about the same kind of things a lot, so if you don't care for him or his nasally drone the show may not be for you! The Hosts  Adam Lakers Carolla: Host, professional complainer, literal millionaire Alison "Becky Honkington" Rosen: Newsgirl, cohost, skilled "Yes, and"-er Bryan "Bald" Bishop (aka Bald Bryan): Former phone screener on Loveline, engineer on the Adam Carolla radio show, now his primary job is running the soundboard and disagreeing with Adam. Other Crew From left to right: Mike Lynch : Producer Mike "Dude." Dawson: Producer/Voice Over/Audio/Post Production Gary Smith: Associate Producer Chris "Moxalaxa" Laxamana: Technical Director Matt "The Porcelain Punisher" Fondiler: Show Summary      Show Schedule The podcast is uploaded early every morning Monday - Friday. They sometimes pre-record one on one interviews that typically get uploaded on Fridays or Mondays, with Tuesday - Thursday tending to be the standard show format. There will also occasionally be live podcasts from venues like the Jon Lovitz theater. Unfortunately the show only goes back 20 episodes on Itunes and the website, but if there's a particular episode you want you can probably dig it up easily online, or someone here can provide it. I've got basically every episode except a big chunk of the 2010 stuff. My hosting is limited to whatever is freely available though, so I don't know how practical that would be. One of my older favorites I'd highly recommend is him interviewing the comedy-metal band Steel Panther. The Drops (thanks Vykk.Draygo!)

Good idea, it'll be nice to separate the podcast talk from the Loveline thread. I was just listening to the podcast with Jonah Keri today and I could not stand how Adam would not stop talking about how much Drive sucked because they got a lot of the details wrong about cars and racing. I understand being annoyed especially since cars are his specialty, but honestly the only complaint he had about the entire movie was things like "They said it's got good treads but they replace the wheels before every race grrrr! Piece of poo poo movie!". Seriously Adam, that ruined the whole movie for you? Grow up, it's fiction. I love Adam and everything but I'm starting to find a lot of the things he complains about again and again and again are really untrue and biased and it's impossible to talk him out of anything. That being said there's always at least 1 funny bit in every episode so that's why I keep listening.

I used to be a defender of Adam... but he repeats the same loving thing over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again. I think he's had a good run, but you have to be on Giovanni levels of delusion to think that Adam is still the bastion of comedy he was during his Loveline years.

The interviews are still generally solid, especially with musicians. He's introduced several musicians to the song "Hocus Pocus" by Focus at this point (notably Ben Folds a couple months ago) and I never get tired of listening to their reactions. Also the recent show with John Doe was great to listen to them commiserate about old lovely 70s rock songs.Ez posted:I was just listening to the podcast with Jonah Keri today and I could not stand how Adam would not stop talking about how much Drive sucked because they got a lot of the details wrong about cars and racing.

I used to be a daily listener of Carolla. Now I can barely make it through one a month or something. His rants run down to this: Fiesta mix Peanut Allergies Cops Red Lights Chicken poo poo tickets Stupid people his wife his children Donny his nanny season 5 of the man show What am I missing? Can't be too much.

While I do enjoy Adam a lot, his rants about taxes are starting to wear thin on me lately. Like I literally feel my face start contorting when he starts complaining about them.

I am glad Adam hasn't completely abandoned his one on one interviews because I prefer that format over the Morning Zoo atmosphere the show morphed in to.

His rants run down to this: The peanut allergy one really loving irks me. He literally says that people who complain of peanut allergies are pussies and are faking it. Seriously. When I was 10 one of my friends in school died because he accidentally ate a peanut which he was allergic to. His throat swelled shut and he loving died. Wow, what a faking pussy, closing his own throat up like that on purpose and dying for no reason. gently caress you Adam, you narcissistic piece of poo poo. That felt good

The first time he had Andrew Breitbart on (last November, I want to say?) was when I finally unsubscribed from his podcast. His rants about taxes and gay people and liberal pussies and government regulation had become ill-informed, frenetic, and worst of all, unfunny, so when he had Breitbart on, that was kind of the last straw for me. A couple months ago, I said to myself, "Hey, you know, I miss Dana Gould doing his Huell Howser, and Larry Miller playing the road trip game, and hearing how Bald Bryan is doing and all that." So I checked in on the podcast to see who the guest was that day. And shock of shocks, the host of that day was Andrew Breitbart yet again. God does not want me to listen to that podcast.

I was killing time and watching some youtube clips of David Cross' standup when Carolla's interview of Cross was recommended to me by the youtube gods. The topic of this short clip was taxes and Carolla was pretty insufferable. He kept trying to goad Cross into agreeing with him that everyone who isn't rich is just lazy and how incredibly easy it is to become wealthy if you aren't lazy or stupid. It's been a long time since I have listened to any of Carolla's work, but he always seemed much more empathetic towards the callers and other people in general in the Loveline days. Am I misremembering the past in favor of just his better moments or has he gone insufferably nuts with Dr. Drew? I mean, I honestly don't remember him being so antagonistic towards LGBTQ people or anyone else and you'd think those kinds of things would have come up on Loveline.

Why are all of you with an obvious agenda against Carolla posting? I don't see the point in copying and pasting out of context quotes from a special interest website in here. They're just words coming out of an illiterate comedian's mouth. I don't agree with the comments or find them funny, and it ends there. If you have such a gigantic problem with him not respecting transexuals and people who dress in drag, maybe you shouldn't listen to him. Do you also go into the 30 Rock thread and try to rally the troops against Tracy Morgan? Anyway, I listen to the podcast maybe once a week or so, whenever there's a guest on that seems interesting. He does repeat himself a lot these days, which is why I could never listen every day. I do still find him to be pretty funny and pretty fast on his feet, though.

I listen mostly for the guests. Adam has a collection of like 20 or so canned rants that he recycles every couple of weeks, and should a new topic come up, his position is usually very predictable anyway. These rants are "completely hosed out", as they say on the Carolla messageboard. There are still regulars that are worth listening to and Adam or even Alison sometimes surprises with a good riff, but his charm really wears off once you become hip to the material.

Alison's fake book excerpts are the highlight of any episode they show up in. Teresa was better at balancing Adam's sometimes crazy opinions, but I think Alison is a great replacement. I don't listen every day because there's a lot of repetition, but every episode has at least one thing that makes me smile.

Maybe because Adam used to have actual insight into stupid aimless Americans and their experience, while being superbly sharp-witted and genuinely funny? Does originality mean nothing to you? When I stopped listening to his stuff he'd become a bitter old hack, repeating tired stuff that he'd done way more amusingly a decade ago. Honestly, you must be starved for entertainment if you still find him funny.

You know as well as anyone that there's a lot to love about Adam, but lately there's also a lot to hate. I think it's a testament to his talent that despite being incredibly repetitive and irritating sometimes, he's genuinely likable and funny enough to keep us listening. I still like Adam an his show, despite all the crap. That being said, his Michael Moore interview was really great, I just wish we didn't have to listen to 10 minutes of Adam Rant #158: "Hospital Gowns" before we got to the good stuff.

Adam is a politically incorrect, barely literate, selfish and racist literal millionare. He doesn't try to hide this. If you're going to bash his show for anything, at least try and find a new angle.

I just grab it if I'm interested in the guest du jour or if the summary has a topic that seems interesting and won't just segue into how hard it is to be a rich guy. I can't work up the effort to be upset about him but I've found I download it less and less as time goes on. One of the topics he does well is when he's talking about TV or movie cliches, especially when he has Larry Miller in-studio.

GET IT ON! I drive about an 2 hours a day and listen to the podcast each morning. Ya it can get a bit stale at times, but its one of the better shows out there. I usually listen to Stern, but usually there is 45min to an hour of the show that is just awful so I will throw on Adam. Everyone should check out his other podcasts. Ace of the House and carcast. Both are pretty good. Also, DYI network will be starting to replay his old show "The Adam Carolla Project" I recommend checking it out if you have never seen it before.

You get to put faces to a lot of the names Adam throws out, and I found myself way more fascinated by the process of demoing and rebuilding an old house than I thought I would be. Plus, Ray is a force of nature and steals the show repeatedly. Tearing down walls while wearing flip flops and jumping in the neighbor's pool, Carolla really didn't exaggerate any of that stuff.

Ya thats what I liked about it too. The episodes are still out there on youtube but they are hidden and you need the direct link. I think if you go to his fan site you can find the links. Cant remember his fan forum off the top of my head. His friend Ray is hilarious and after Adams show he tried to get some more gigs but nothing ever panned out. Adam seems to think its because he took a poo poo in the top drawer of Jimmy Kimmels desk. I would tend to agree.

I listen to this most mornings as I wake up at work. A lot of the time its the same complaining, but he can still riff really well. I love hearing him talk about cars, he has excellent taste and a good knowledge of them. I don't really care about a comedians opinion on LGBT issues or taxes and poo poo, so that doesn't bother me too much. It's like far right republicans getting lovely about The Daily Show or something. Who cares? I also really dig the Film Vault, I don't think they are part of the network anymore and that's a shame.

Some Stern fans are complaining that the show has fallen because it's not as funny anymore; likewise some Carolla fans are complaining that the show has fallen because it's not as funny anymore. In the latter case, part of the reason why is because we find a lot of Adam's political and social opinions absolutely repugnant and bigoted, but it isn't that different of a phenomenon from what's happening in the Stern thread.

I have a hard time understanding how somebody can become a fan of the person who wrote the jokes for shows like The Man Show and Crank Yankers and then turn around and claim to no longer be a fan due to his "repugnant and bigoted" podcast in which he talks about his dog and kids in between interviews with Jane Goodall. How can you find him more offensive now than you did in the past? I would understand criticizing him for getting too soft or straying too far away from the type of humor that made him famous, as is common in the Howard Stern thread. I don't understand the people in this thread saying that the reason they don't like him anymore is because of his crude political and social ranting. At what point in his career did you think he was funny, then? That is who Adam Carolla is. I mean, the guy's first appearance in show business was playing a racist shop teacher character on the radio.
