Oh boy, a very funny comedian and talented improv artist is on the show today. I hope they don't play any improv centric games like Made Up Movie or let him do any comedy, I hope Adam just rambles on about sensationalism an football for 40 minutes while everyone else sits there quietly.

Chunky Delight posted:I love when Greg Fitzsimmons would call him out on his politics. It is a shame that his podcast feels like a half-assed extension of his satellite radio show that most people will never listen to because it is on loving satellite radio. I haven't listened to his show since the first year, and the current format completely blows my mind. His first podcast goes into great depths about how radio people just want to do what they're used to and don't want long freeform interviews and how awful it is that all they want now is zoo crew. Now he's literally just copying the same format he was bitching about being forced on him for his morning show. His guests are completely drowned out by him and his awful political opinions have somehow come to the front rather than being on the sidelines and letting his interesting/awful life story be explained. LA in the 80's is a fun thing to hear about. His buds getting into fights back in the day is fun to. Getting stranded in Mexico is also great. But his politics are awful and now that they're at the forefront it's really awkward. Are there any episodes to download right now that are more of just him and Ray going over stories about being young and hosed up? Or him and his buddy who spent a bunch of time in prison/Hawaii?

According to Twitter, the Chris is on the most recent Ace on the House with Adam and Ray. Not sure if it's been put up yet. Nothing like that on ACS though. There are occasionally episodes with just Adam and Drew, but everything else is the same formula you're complaining about.

Its easy to see the chemistry between Adam and Ray. I wouldn't be surprised if alot of the Adamisms we associate with Adam are really things all of his friends did growing up.

The Adam and Dr. Drew ones are usually good, but I've heard a few where Adam and Drew both complain about "bootstraps" and too much government. The one a while back where they discussed Obamacare, with Drew taken to be the authoritative voice because he's a doctor, was pretty painful to listen to.

Yeah, even in old lovelines when they'd discuss UHC, Drew would talk about how medical costs are already astronomical and how he refused to work for free.

Cromulent posted:Beyond them just being awful, he's pitifully misinformed about everything remotely political in nature. Just yesterday, he took a call from someone in Korea. Adam immediately says "Korea? Wow, that must suck. Hey, how much does Korea suck?" Caller say it's not bad, Adam says "Hmm. Oh, are you in North Korea or South Korea? Oh, well, South Korea isn't bad? But North is a shithole, right? So how do they decided who's North Korean and who's South Korean? Is it just where you're born or something? Can you go to North Korea?" Eh, I feel like he was hamming that up a bit.

ChaosMonkey posted:Dom Irrera is a national treasure. Every time he is on with Rogan its a fantastic show. I always imagine the Joe Rogan podcast with Dom as a road trip. Joe is in the passenger seat, smoking a blunt and eyes bloodshot, getting really excited at everything he sees outside the window and talking rapidfire about CONSPIRACIES, animals, dick jokes and mushroom transcendence while Dom Irrera is on the wheel, driving sedately and interjecting the occasional cutting observation which brings Rogan back to earth. Redban would be the hyper five year old in the backseat trying to give Joe and Dom wet willies. Every few minutes Dom would reach back and casually smack him to calm him down.

mugrim posted:Does Dom call him out? If so that might be worth a listen. If I recall correctly, yes. But it's better when Dom calls out Redban. There are three Dom Irerra episodes. In the first one Dom's obviously a little uncertain about the whole podcast thing. In the second episode he's like, "This is awesome. People know who I am now. MORE OF THIS," and he really brings his A game from that point forward. And in one of the episodes he tells a hilarious masturbation story.

UltraRed posted:I listened to that podcast and totally missed it! The Ace on the House with Ray and Chris was this Saturday's episode, I just listened to it today. It is quite good, about 90% of the show is them just telling stories, they take like three questions. A lot of the stories he's told before, but it's fun hearing Ray and Chris there to add to it, and I don't remember hearing about Chris' dog Murphy biting everyone or his friend John throwing a boot through his sliding glass door.

I don't know about the dog bites, but the sliding door story is in chapter 9 of the new book.

Vykk.Draygo posted:"It's this guy's birthday" I've seen both Doug Benson and Patton Oswalt go off on drunken birthday women at live stand-up gigs. With Oswalt it was a little more surprising since it was a COMEDIANS OF COMEDY show at a rock venue, and I'd figure that'd bring in a more "comedy-oriented" crowd. With Benson it was a Thursday night at an Improv and that kinda poo poo happens all the time. Not that I haven't taken advantage of free tickets, but I'm a broke-rear end comedy fan and not some yokel looking for something to do.

Do they have anyone who can screen calls for them? Half the calls are just horrible. Creepy adults going on 5 minutes speeches about how Adam changed their life and how they do everything he tells them to do.

I think I'm getting a little too tired of the podcast. I find myself listening to it a whole lot less than I used to. Same tired rants and the guests aren't very good (or don't even get a chance to speak.) I think I may just listen to the live shows as those are usually decent. I wonder how Larry is doing though.

His constant thing about having to tell a guest about the Bob Marley documentary or drag out the Deacon Jones clip or talk about his dad not attending his Pop Warner games just sucks so much life out of the show. "I've got a handful of people here that have heard these things a million times, a bunch of listeners here that have heard these things a million times, and one guest who might introduce something new or interesting into the show. So I'm going to rant about the mayor of LA while this potentially fascinating guest just sits there." quote:I wonder how Larry is doing though. Armchair diagnosis sounds like a brain injury with some motor skills issues from the fall. I'd completely cancel my iTunes subscription to Carolla if Larry were OK and back at his game.
