dayman posted:Hearing Carolla and the gang talk about the PRISM spying scandal drove me near apoplectic. The cognitive dissonance required for Adam to say in one breath that the government fucks up everything it touches, and then in the next grants the NSA carte blanche to snoop on every aspect of his life is literally insane. He must have a crystal brain because it's clearly been fractured for a long time. I just finished that episode on the way into work this morning, and I found it a little hard to believe. For him to say it is just narcissistic people who care about PRISM is mind blowing. It seemed really opposite of what I expected him to say.

WinnebagoWarrior posted:This really is the truth. I respect anyone who is able to be funny on his show. Adam just has such a huge personality and presence that anyone who can keep up at all tends to be genuinely talented. I havent listened to the Jo Koy episode yet, but I am excited now. The occasional gripe I have with Adam is that he has had talented musicians, actors, and comics on that never get to say anything. There have been a few episodes in the last few months where I was genuinely interested in hearing from the guest, but instead Adam does all of the talking while the person I want to hear from barely gets to 'crack wise'. What makes it more painful is that Adam is telling a story he has already told on one of his other podcasts or already told on the ACS. Obviously guests like Jo Koy and DAG can roll and it is always funny, but not everyone has a strong improv background.

RightClickSaveAs posted:$10 is the lowest level, for a copy of the screenplay and some kind of website access. $4,000 to be an extra, $10,000 for a speaking role! This sounded like a really terrible idea, but as is usually the case for these things, the barrier to entry is high enough that it shouldn't be an issue. Speaking role is sold out.

I thought that was odd, and put my city and state in the City box.

I usually don't mind Bryan, and I don't want to jump on the hate bandwagon, but his recent 15 minute long story about the lady asking about his limp at the gym was pretty bad. I do think that the show wouldn't be the same without him. Byran has his funny moments. What bothers me more than Bryan is Adam's constant repeating. He tells the same stories over and over and over again. Maybe it is just amplified because I listen to Ace on the House, Carcast, Adam and Drew, and ACS. On Sunday's A&D he told the story about the air compressor/farting guy. Its a story I've heard at least 5-6 times. I know Drew has heard it before, but he couldn't remember it so Adam breaks the whole thing down again.

The way he talks about us wretched renting cretins I think if it were up to him landowners would still be the only ones allowed to vote. Sounds good to me.  You are completely missing the point he is trying to make with that. He isn't trying to poo poo on you or Ray or anyone else. He is trying to motivate people to get out there and make something out of themselves. Obtain something. Own something. I bought my first house 2.5 years ago, and it is one of the best things I've ever done. Its nice seeing that equity (slowly) grow. Sounds like it is working if it bothers you.

RightClickSaveAs posted:Speaking of Bryan, he pissed Adam off just a little on today's show and got burned pretty hard, not just by Adam but also by a caller. "How's it worked out for you? How much money do I pay you?" I listened to this episode last night. Bryan completely deserved that. I'm not sure if Adam and Bryan had an argument before the show or what, but Bryan was being a total douche that entire episode. It started with the BTO stuff when Gary didn't put up the picture Adam wanted. Bryan chimes in with something like "Yeah Gary, scour the Internet to find the one picture that will prove Adam's point for him." Then when David Wild said something like "I hate to agree with Adam" and Bryan chimes in with "No you don't". Adam could have really burned Bryan if he wanted to. The whole reason Bryan has a book deal is because he works for Adam. Has nothing to do with his English degree.

I want to write about this. He's complained about it multiple times in the last few months. He typically starts by ragging on how everyone has a podcast and how he just gets all of these requests for interviews and then he goes on the show and they don't know anything about him or Mangria. There is specific story he tells about the girl that interviewed him about Mangria. I've heard that story 2-3 times. I don't recall him not watching Breaking Bad, so I can't confirm that. Also, I feel really really stupid for realizing earlier this week that that ACS intro song is the Mighty Mighty Bosstones.

Adam brings up the new house, but in a way that makes it clear he isn't trying to brag about it. The whole Lowes story with the credit card, the Full Tard story about the closet demo. I think Drew has brought Adam's new house up more on his show though.

Bryan gossip incoming. On ADS #087, Adam said Bryan wouldn't ever touch Mangria just out of principle. Then Adam said "That man's got a lot of pride." Then this morning I was listening to ACS: Penn/David Wild, and Adam was answering a question about someone he liked but that person hated him. He replied "Bryan". Just thought it was interesting. Any other information on Brian not drinking Mangria? Apoplexy posted:Gotta get it on, MANDATE to get it on. Every time he says it, I realize just how dumb Adam really is, because when he originally started saying that, it was to mock radio personalities who would say such stupid things. It was ironic. Now it's not. Now it's a rote phrase he regurgitates every show. It's just so loving sad. Get it right: Get it on, got to get it on, no choice but to get it on, mandate get it on. Mahalo!

Then he got into a weird story about this naked pool game he'd play with those guys. Drew called it homoerotic.

Ariza posted:If you had asked me 5 or 10 years ago if the person from Loveline whose show I look forward to most each week, it would definitely not have been Anderson the drunk/stoned/methed out rear end in a top hat playing drops. I like the AD and The Film Vault, where Bryan's annoying retardedness shines, a lot more than The Adam and Drew Show at this point. Drew has already gotten heat over deals he has made with pharma companies in the past. He was a paid spokesperson, but didn't give that disclaimer when talking about their products. I don't care what they advertise. Real radio personalities do this crap all the time. "Oh, I just love my Comcast Internet, they are the best! Call for a special offer." "Sprint has amazing deals and plans, and they have the best service in the area in my opinion!" Just the cost of doing business. Adam seems pretty savvy. On Ace on the House, he was talking about this 1920s fireplace he got for his new house, and how the mantle was missing. He recreated the mantle with wood and had a scenic painter come in and make it look exactly like the existing tile. I guess I don't see the sleazy part you are talking about. He sounds like any other paid spokesperson on any other station or podcast. In fact, I look forward to the ads in a way, because Adam's transitions are pretty hilarious at times. He'll be talking about Ray shoving poop in his ear, and then start talking about Stamps.com without missing a beat. It always cracks me up how Drew hams up the Stamps.com ads.

The Gilbert Gottfried and Super Dave episodes had me literally suffocating from laughter. Wait, its gone? I thought they were just on an extended hiatus. This is sad news. I will stay subscribed to it in hopes it will come back. Ariza posted:I just meant sleazy in general though that is probably too strong of a word (savvy is probably better). I mean he'll shill anything for a buck, even things he should be opposed to based on his ranting. But he's a personality so it's fine, but I still look at Drew as a doctor first which is honestly more my personal problem. I should understand that he's a TV/radio guy first now. I've known too many doctors that get pulled into pushing bullshit for a buck and it makes me very upset. One thing we can all agree on is that the best podcast ads ever were from Norm MacDonald's short lived podcast. He made me laugh at Nick Swardson which should qualify him for some sort of award. Yeah, I was a little disappointed when Adam started slinging the borro.com crap. Seems like something he'd be against. I'm fine with dick pills and term life insurance. I don't put Drew in the same realm as someone like Dr. Oz or Dr. Phil yet. I think he'd rather not have to do the live reads of horrible ads, but I think he genuinely enjoys having a platform like the Dr. Drew Show. I think both he and Adam dispense sound advice most of the time.

I was listening to ARIYNBF: Ray Oldhafer last night, and Alison and Ray got into a very interesting discussion about Adam's stage presence on the podcast and at live shows. They both agreed that Adam felt like he has an obligation to the fans to fill the entire stage, and that can lead to him not letting guests talk. If Adam senses a hesitation or the guest doesn't just jump in at the level he is at, there won't be room for the guest. Adam isn't really looking for an exchange with the guest like a traditional interview, but more of the back and forth of sketch comedy or improv. I've heard Adam scold Drew for not speaking up as much at live shows, and it sounds like Adam doesn't consciously know he is doing this. His perception is that the other person is just bad. Probably why Adam has DAG and Jo Koy on so much, because they will jump in and take their own space. Ray and Alison agreed that Adam loved sharing the spotlight, but to share the space, he has got to know you are ready to roll. It was a really interesting look at why Adam sometimes crowds out really great guests. Even if you don't listen to Alison's show, this is really worth a listen.

El Gallinero Gros posted:The problem is they usually do it in a way that makes it fairly obvious they don't really think that way. Carolla's ignorant bullshit tends to be couched in "Telling it like it is" style stuff, and while it works sometimes, it sometimes comes off as ignorant as gently caress. Maybe Bald Bryan could play the comedy badum-tssssh sound after each bit so you would know he was joking.  The dude does a 90 minute podcast 5 days a week, plus three other podcasts. That's about 10 hours a week worth of time to fill. He uses a lot of personal anecdotes where he exaggerates certain aspects to make it funny or show worthy. Like when his kid's teacher called Adam out in front of all the kids and parents for being wrong when Adam was right. Adam went off about it the next show. It got back to the teacher through a "concerned" third-party, and it offended her. He did a pretty good job on the following episode explaining how his style of comedy works.

Bald Bryan was pretty good on Drew. I thought it was funny that Bryan's off air friends called him smug and self-satisfied when he gave them an anonymous personality test. He says Bryan Bishop is way better about it, but Bald Bryan the on air persona hasn't changed. So I guess he is intentionally annoying to Adam to generate drama? I'm not sure, I haven't listened to Bryan anywhere else.

It's not like all 12-step groups are the same either, there are some hardcore Christian ones and some that are completely secular. I don't remember what episode it was, but a guy called in to either ADS or DDS fairly recently and said he didn't want to do a 12 step program because he was an atheist. Drew said exactly this same thing. It is about realizing you are a tiny speck in the scope of time and space or whatever you have to do.

RightClickSaveAs posted:Yo can we get back to discussions by people who actually still listen to the show, everyone is aware there are tons of great podcasts out there. I don't care for Howard Stern yet somehow I am able to contain myself from going into that thread and proselytizing people to listen to Ask Mr. Biggs instead (Mr. Biggs is pretty rad though, you should listen to it although they haven't updated in over a year). If everyone's New Years Resolution was to stop listening to nasally ranting then this thread shall die a natural death and that is the way of things. I agree. It is one thing to listen to the show and have specific issues with episodes or a particular Adam rant, but this is just getting a little out of control. I thought Adam's State of the Union 2014 episode was really good. Gratitude = Happiness. Super easy to get focused on the small piles of dog poo poo in our life, and completely miss all of the other really great things happening to us. I thought it was really insightful of Adam actually, and I hope he sticks with it. Also, on Adam's new house. He claims it isn't as impressive as the old house. But if it is next door to Vince Vaughn's house, I'm guessing it is still really nice. Especially if this is the house Adam lives next to: http://curbed.com/archives/2013/04/29/vince-vaughn-buys-mundane-house-your-parents-would-love.php I guess CA has a different definition of mundane. A tennis court, pool, and 5,500 square feet doesn't sound all that mundane to me.
