Adam has used the word "gestalt" like seven times in the last three episodes. Usually incorrectly. Any idea where he picked that up?

I wish they would stop playing that same AP news update everyday about the Illinois police officer getting shot. It's somebody being lazy, I think.

Of course Gina pronounces GIF with a hard 'G'. Could it be any other way?

Dang, I'd just decided the show was still crap and would go back to not bothering, but I see Adam has Ted Cruz on today and Donny Trump tomorrow.

Was there anything good in his interviews with those two Prez candidates?

No :saddowns:. Both guys phoned it in (literally) for about 10 minutes and worked their sound bites. I hoped for some Gavin Newsom action, but I'm sure there was a press agent waiting with their finger on the button, and Carolla doesn't really have a beef with any of their policies.

I don't recall if Adam did his "I'm gonna ask you question, and tell me if you agree with me" thing.

I stopped listening when goddamn Drew held-up SpaceX as an example of what the free market can do in a short time. "Just look at NASA! It took them 50 years to do what SpaceX is doing after five!"

Don't forget the shitlord Drew.

Adam talking about 'the schwartzes' stops being tongue-in-cheek after the third time. And Drew talking about the infallible free market how it's model can be extrapolated to any political or larger social situation is just … it gets weary and no longer made me rich or happy.

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.

I dropped-in on an Adam & Drew episode today. It’s still poo poo.

One HOUR of ranting about Sherwood Schwartz and Sid & Marty Krofft!

Nothing new.

Not even a, “here’s my FYGM conservative shitlord translation of current events into a life lesson.”

Just, “rattle the PodcastOne scouring brush up my rear end a few times and let’s see if that fills the bucket.”

I’m simultaneously sad and happy I haven’t been missing anything.

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.

No, I suppose you probably wouldn't break-out the good china for a jerkoff derby.


We need an expression for people who, after they achieve a certain elevated status, just squander all their political capital and turn into garbage. Carolla, Giuliani, The Simpsons, that Dilbert guy ... do women have a better instinct or am I being too kind to Diane Feinstein?

The other day I recalled some advice Adam gave once about cleaning. It was essentially, "you have about three chances to walk past something [clutter, a pile of laundry, mess on the job site, etc.] before it just becomes part of the landscape."

Miss that kind of thing and won't tolerate it in the venue of from an imperious toddler.

Adam is not someone who wields command or authority well. Back when I listened, he usually seemed to know what he wanted to happen, but no idea how to make it happen with anything other than coercion and some money.

It would be nice if this were a Road to Damascus moment for getting some perspective about how he moves through society.

Unfortunately he has some gently caress you money and a cadre of ghouls he admires to push-through with some "stoicism" and "its woke culture's fault" bullshit.

Who the gently caress does phone calls anymore?

This is just some Grade A GenX pandering from the "comedy factory."

gently caress he's probably going to use Joe Rogan's studio in Texas.

I've been curious, is his father still alive? After I stopped listening I thought his father had a serious fall, but then recovered. His show was ... odd, but I enjoyed it because it was kinda-of cerebral about meditation and was educational for that.

Sometimes I think about Adam when he talked about No Country For Old Men, after regretting that he was a dismissive of Josh Brolin for the 85th time, that his favorite character in the movie was the trailer park manager. Anton Chigurh is this severe and malevolent force of nature and Adam was just thrilled that this sassy housecat behind a desk was still having none of his poo poo and was the only character in the story to not succumb to him (the gas station owner still had to flip a coin).

I seems like Engineer Anderson was immune.

Listening to old Loveline shows, Dr Drew seems kind-of smitten with the whole “butthole the size of a mason jar” thing. And I wonder if he has ever seen goatse.

Seems like the sort of thing a bunch of goons could help-along.
