Growing up in India, or at least most places in India, is a pretty big leg-up in terms of increasing your tolerance.

I watched the Hot Ones and in Adam's defense the host was soliciting specific takes in that interview.

Yeah he was definitely a huge fan of Adam and did a good job of getting his typical go to rants in and out of the interview.

I'm glad DAG has been having a bit of career resurgence since distancing himself from Adam Carolla. Dude was great on The Carmichael Show and he seems to be getting steady TV and movie work plus he's killing it on Broadway.

Doesn’t really shed much light on anything although as I’m typing this Adam compared himself not tacitly refuting trump to a civilian living in occupied Poland and then in the same breath said something along the lines of “no president is going to impact your life” so lmao. Same old Adam I guess

i'm sure adam thinks it is just his opinion/non opinion of trump that makes people classify him as a right wing shithead and not any of the millions of other things he says/people he works with

This is the final recourse of the “both sides same” guy in the Trump years. They can’t say that anymore because Trump is fantastically stupid and unbelievably not qualified for any job, and they know it, so instead of both sides being the same it’s “actually the president doesn’t matter.” It’s pathetic.

Hes been working steady for many years. His association with Adam in no way effected his career.

Stumping for the Do Tell Ray podcast. It's nominally a home improvement show, but mostly lots of remember-when and bullshitting about life.

Reminded me because they told the nasally racist to shove-off.

Adam's lost pretty much all of his old friends.

I still listen to Reasonable Doubt because there's more of a Loveline dynamic. He still goes on tangents about grit, but there's more besides that.

No you don’t get it, when Adam was in his 20s, get this... he was poor! :eek: And his parents, get this as well... were a little emotionally distant! :eek:

If he can overcome these great obstacles all the MEXICANS and BLACKS can overcome systemic poverty and become man show hosts or something as well. Family, and education.

I stopped listening a few months after he canned Alison. Gina didn't bring anything to the table at all, but it was after hearing the same stories and same lame bits day after day that I realized that I've heard everything Adam had to offer. So I moved on.

"Most mornings I'll apologise in advance to my wife."
I don't think his family was poor, I think his dad is just a bit clueless about other peoples needs, and kinda stingy with money. Adam's upbringing sounds a lot like mine. It's definitely a kind of middle class neglect, but it's a far cry from actual poverty. You'd have to be amazingly up your own arse to think having the cheap cereal for breakfast is the same as living in a station wagon while dad roams the midwest looking for work.

And living in a poo poo apartment in your 20s isn't poor either, if you can always swallow your pride and crash at mums for a few months, you're not really poor. You have a support network that you can fall back on, most people in true dire poverty would kill for that kind of assurance and stability.

In short : Adam sucks arse.

I've been listening to some old Loveline episodes from the late 90s, and I don't really think 2019 Adam Carolla is appreciably different from 1999 Adam Carolla. I think the world around him has just changed.

yeah my parents grew up legit poor (my mom's giant family once lived in an abandoned convent and my dad grew up in the projects) and they both went to college and ended up upper middle class and aren't regressive shitheads like adam. it's why i can't wrap my head around someone having his total lack of self awareness.

I got an ad on YouTube for Dennis Prager University, that began “MLK died 50 years ago...” it made me want to take a shower.

Yeah, regarding all of Adam’s pals abandoning him the biggest is still when he threw Donny under the bus, and Donny sued and got a significant settlement

I liked the podcast when it was just him shooting the poo poo with people. He had Seth MacFarlane, Jimmy, and a bunch of other good comedians on. Took a turn for the worse when he wanted to make it a morning zoo. The guests were ignored and the quality dropped a ton. Seems like he still gets decent ones promoting something but too much Dennis Miller crap.

The Prager stuff is funny because he hated those people at Loveline.

FEAR MY SHARK ROCKET IT REALLY SUCKS AND BLOWS
I was a die hard Ace fan from before he left his radio show. They used to upload the recordings of his shows as podcasts, and I loved listening to them - I thought there was a legitimately good dynamic between Adam, Teresa and Bryan. Kept going through the podcast until he fired Alison. That was when I finally gave up the ghost. Listening to her show about the experience was genuinely heartbreaking.

I still laugh at how clueless he was with his podcast and his attempt to monetize it, who would have thought he'd be King Podcast after a few years.

Nah, he never ranted about taxes and poo poo on Loveline, or at least not nearly as much as he does now, getting a lot of money changed him.
