Niwrad posted:Is there any word on how the podcast is doing numbers wise? With so much competition, it can't be good. And seeing as how others are getting bought up, that's not a good sign either. I'm sure he's still making money but he was one of the biggest podcasts in the world and now it just another podcast. I couldn't find anything, but I'm sure it's still substantial. Apparently he had Don Jr on at some point so I'm sure that helped. He's doing a ton of work to only be worth ~$18 million lmao

Even if the podcast isn't making poo poo he's certainly getting some reactionary millionaire/billionaire money now that he's pals with Prager.

I had taken a several month hiatus because I wasn't able to keep up with his show and listen to other podcasts I had found and enjoyed much better. When I decided to give Adam another chance within in the first 15 minutes he is talking about filling in for Dennis Miller on his radio show and plugging a live tour he was doing with Prager. I stopped the podcast and unsubscribed after that.

So I don't know the numbers for ACS but when Ray was fired from Ace on the House, I worked behind the scenes at the start of his podcast. He told me that ACS gets about 70k downloads per episode. I'm sure ACS blows that out of the water so I'd have to imagine that he's getting at least a couple hundred thousand per episode. He did recently, AFIAK, start splitting episodes into two parts which I think is an effort to boost over all download numbers. Also even though many people don't associate with him anymore (DAG, David Wild, etc) the Fox News fans who like him are still as obsessed as ever, so who knows. Anyway, that's all of the information I have which is so close to none that I almost shouldn't have posted.

The couple guys I know who still listen to ACS are otherwise big AM radio guys. If you've never heard small-fry AM radio talent.... woof. Adam's dusty old routine probably still kills if that's how low the bar has been set.

Adam used to go on a rant like "There's no way they could make 'All In the Family' today," and I had it in my heart that some how he would get paired with a "good student" like, say, Kevin Hench or Mike Birbiglia to do just that and get a very human take on a sitcom and they would force the 'warehouse' to turn into more of a 'factory'. But there's no way that will ever happen. Adam has had just enough monetary success to be convinced that any further intellectual heavy lifting of doing something original ever again is a waste of time. He's driven away anyone who doesn't follow a path precisely parallel to his mandate. He can just keep recycling the same spew and just enough people will keep tuning-in to hear the angry mashed potatoes & green beans comfort food of a literal millionaire ranting about his gardener and ineffectual traffic enforcement. Still. For now. He and Drew have literally become Sid & Marty Krofft, capitalizing on making lovely sno-cones where the only real difference is the color of the same bland syrup day-after-day. And yeah, the whole cozying-up to a wife rapist and minimizing the virulence of Covid-19.

Adam had all the opportunity in the world to shift into literally anything more than he is*. He hasn’t taken it, and he won’t. *last time I listened to the podcast was a couple months before Allison was let go.

I stopped listening regularly when Alison left, but still had it on my Pocketcasts list. Then I listened to her podcast about how she was treated and I realized I had no desire to listen to him anymore and unsubscribed. Really stinks too because I listened to him religiously for years. Even before podcasts were huge they released his radio show as podcasts and I got them because I wasn't in the area to actually listen live. I was trying to think of what changed with him, and really I don't think he changed at all. The people around him changed, times changed and his shtick didn't work anymore. I wonder if him and Jimmy are still friends

Realized that of the first three podcast I got into, two of them pivoted hard right. ACS is more Fox News right but last time I checked up on Redbar Radio, Mike David had gone full alt-right. Anyone else used to listen to Redbar? I stopped listening after former co-host James Fritz got a bunch of Chicago comedians together and they put out a podcast on what a piece of poo poo Mike David was. Thank God the Uhh Yeah Dude guys still seem pretty cool though sadly I don't listen as frequently as I used to.

I never listened to Redbar stuff but I'm pretty sure there used to be a thread for them here way back when. I know I used to see/hear their name come up a lot. UYD has stayed remarkably consistent for the 14 years they've been doing it. From episode 800± they've been covering each year since the show started by going through Seth's notes from the respective year and getting around to stories they never covered the first time and its been great. Weirdly, I think it's the best chronicle of modern Americana there is.

My friend worked promotions at KROQ in the early 00s and the one rule they had was under no circumstances were you to look Adam Carolla in the eyes, like he was a fuckin Olmec idol of Gen-X rage.

I hadn't ever heard of Redbar until he started trashing the LA podcast scene. It seems that he just makes fun of LA podcasters and makes a living off of that nowadays. Seems like a weird career move.

It always messes me up a bit when a musician I like died. I specifically remember wondering, back when John Prine died of covid, if that would have any affect on Carolla or give him the slightest bit of pause since I remembered Carolla speaking of him so highly, in a way that was unusual for him. Lol.

Carolla liked John Prine? I only remember him rambling on about John Hiatt, Joe Jackson, and the Ben Folds Five. Given his generally bad musical taste, I was shocked when we found out he actually liked Blood, Sweat & Tears.

 FREE SPEECH WARRIORSGood job aceman, you've finally made it, you're in the big time now rolling with the likes of *scrolls down* Dennis Prager and Ben Shapiro. Can only imagine the big brain nuggets about grit that will be rolling off that Comedy Factory assembly line Lake of Methane posted:Maybe we should kill this thread. I'm not going to close the thread myself for at least a couple weeks, want to make sure everyone gets a chance to talk about how much he sucks, would have no problem with it going away though and I really doubt he has many fans left around here anymore.
