I just want to know how Adam can think he's paying “basically 50 percent” of his income on taxes.

Probably because he's basically paying 50 percent on his taxes. It's not far fetched if you don't have insane amounts of deductions.

I'm back to listening to the show now that I have a job that lets me, and I must say the story of Ray being with Chris's ladyfriend and the reveal of how Snake dealt with it was loving gold. I still don't get why everyone hates bryan though, I think he brings more good than bad. Also Baldywood is probably something adam wants more than Bryan.

Making 2 movies, writing a book, makes a 90 minute podcast everyday on top of like 3 others, AND he's constantly touring. How the gently caress does he handle all this it's crazy.


Also Hardwick said he employees around 25 people, how many the gently caress does Adam employ?

Guys I can't believe you totally forgot the option that it could be a good book. Good enough to work on its own merits and then people will buy it because it's good. I mean, it's BALD BRYAN'S book. It'll be at least as funny as Adam's and far more clever than his for sure.

Alison is an experienced writer and has written for a bunch of major publications. While her comedy doesn't mesh well with Adam, I think she's a generally funny person. Depending on what it's about, her book might be funny. She's got some good stories from her career that she never gets a chance to tell on the show.

I"m not saying that she doesn't have the skill, not at all. I'm saying she doesn't have the will. From everything I've heard of her over the years, I can't imagine her actually doing it.



ON that note, she can't even decide on what picture to go with for her podcast, and is being neurotic over that. That's why I'm saying there's no way she actually finishes a book anytime soon.

Honestly? I'd be pretty upset if I couldn't tell my wife of 10~ years that I don't prefer white fish without her freaking the gently caress out, I'd be rather upset over the whole thing. I get that context can go a long way to skew the argument in either direction, but in that sense she's being dramatic.



WampaLord posted:

Man, who could have seen this coming?

Adam, maybe you get such lovely attitude from every minimum-wage worked because you're an rear end in a top hat? Amazingly I interact with the same people you do and get nothing but friendly service because I say things like "Please" and actually respond like a human when they ask my how I am.

I also have a theory that Adam's lack of using soap means he stinks but surrounds himself with people who will deny it Emperor's New Clothes style. So, yea, a dude who stinks who's also giving you attitude over every little thing? Might be why you get lovely service in life, Adam.

I hope Lynette leaves him, she deserves better. He's becoming a cold bitter husk of a man who's turning to conservative media for a quick buck.

Wow, sorry, this turned into a rant. I used to listen to Adam all the time but hearing Fox News every time the topic turned to anything political got old real loving fast.


Are you talking about LA? Because the city of Los Angeles is an entirely different beast in every way. Absolutely every way. I currently live in Albuquerque, and if someone said that about ABQ I'd raise question, but in LA gently caress no people are the worst there. Also I don't like hearing his rants repetitively, but I do like listening to what he has to say about his conservative views. I honestly do believe though that a lot of the issues come from people really not understanding that most super successful people are working 80-100 hour weeks, and resentment comes from that.

Dude, I live in LA. For all the talk people say about how LA is different from everywhere else, it's really not. People are just as friendly as anywhere else, it's just assholes like Adam who spark this kind of reaction. Have you been to LA for more than a weekend, or are you forming your opinion based off conjecture you've heard from other people?

For example, I fly out of LAX all the time and I'm always treated decently by the airport personnel. This is because I use soap when I shower and I don't come up to them with 40+ years of baggage about previous interactions. Notice I said "decently." They don't roll out the red carpet, but they don't poo poo on you either. Maybe Adam is so used to his rear end being kissed that being treated normally seems rude to him.

If you think "most super successful people" work an 80-100 hour week, I've got a loving bridge on the East Coast to sell you. The term "bootstraps" is meant to be ironic, sure it's awesome that Adam went from a construction worker to "literally a millionaire" but that can't happen for everyone.

Fake Edit - The Man Show was hilarious.

I won't argue the LA point, but in my personal experience and most others, but the people in LA as a whole are shittier than anywhere else I've lived. This is my experience and most other's I know.



On the other point though, you may or may not argue what constitutes work, but you honestly believe that he's having a 40-60 hour work week while being on 4 podcasts of his own, writing a book, doing his O'reilly thing, making a movie, doing all the spots/promotions he has to do, doing tour dates AT LEAST every other weekend, AND running a wine company? Sitting and doing the podcasts alone are 20 hours a week. I'm not saying that anyone can become a literal millionaire, but I would safely bet that the lion share of people who are literal millionaires on average have 60+ hour work weeks.

Are you referring to people who are in the industry, or just people in general? Because I really don't understand this idea that somehow the people in LA are worse than everywhere else in America.

I forgot to answer the first part also. I've been to LA for longer than a weekend, and I used to travel there about once a month. Everyone in the hospitality industry is just shittier to deal with, and there's an attitude of being put upon anytime I would ask for something reasonable. On the other side of the coin, the people I had to deal with were all the rudest loving people and never tipped. I used to deliver and install medical equipment, moving around gigantic metal things and chairs, and people in LA would not tip. People in San Diego would, and were nice about it, but you hit LA and you're just another cog in their day. I've had A-list celebrities even loving stiff me. I've only ever been flipped off in LA, and gently caress if I even knew at the time why it happened.


I don't know what you're asking specifically with "worse than everywhere else in america", but I can certainly attest for the west coast. Are you implying that all americans are the same, or that LA's issues are over stated to the point that it really isn't as bad as people make it out to be and no other place can really be that much better. Is rudeness not a part of a city's culture, or is it that the rudeness he speaks of really doesn't reflect LA well.

Refresh my memory please

A lady caller calls in. She explains that she's white, lives in Georgia. and is dating online, and fell in love with a guy. She then got his pictures, and found out he was black. Adam, then goes on a rant about how sometimes people don't find other races attractive, and there's yellow fever and blah blah blah. Drew then pipes up and says I'm not feeling that this is that case, and is instead maybe racism, so we should go back and ask her why. Now, that wasn't the part where it went over board. Next, they go back to her ask her why and she says because I can only gently caress a black dude, but I couldn't spent my life with someone because I don't want to have black kids, AND ADAM, loving, DEFENDS IT by saying that you know, it's ok to be Jewish and specifically want to date Jews, and people generally stick to their own kind. Worst of all, Drew just says nothing, and they hang up on her basically saying, yeah go ahead date only white poeple if it makes you happy :psyduck:

I don't think its too big of a deal. Doesn't everyone want kids who look like them?

NOOOOOOOO. Noooooo. No that is so loving untrue. This is implying that parents are disappointed by kids that have different skin colors than their own? Quincy Jones must be terribly upset by how his daughter came out I guess? Or at least midly upset that she's not black enough looking?


Medullah posted:

Unfortunately there's still a stigma out there for mixed kids, and it is racist. But could be equal parts racism on her part and a desire for her kids to not grow up being bullied because of their race.

This is an excuse to hold racist views. If you turn it around, would you say it's reasonable for a black couple to not have black children because they might be the victims of racism?


Ez posted:

Lets not forget that woman was from Georgia too. I'm sure it's a much bigger deal there.

The thing that bugs me is that yeah she's from Georgia, and it's more racist there for sure than other parts of the country, BUT her reasoning's implications were far more that she didn't want to have a half black family, as opposed to she doesn't want to have kids who have to deal with it. She didn't want to be judged basically, or have a different life from dating a black person.


Social Animal posted:

Is this biological racism a wrong thing though? I get the hunch she's not an actual racist in the sense that she hates blacks or feels superior. I agree it's pretty bizarre to gently caress and love someone but put a stop on it due to baby mixing.


I'll stop here and say yes it's loving actually racist. How is it not. Biological racism is saying that my genes are better than yours, and that the color of your skin means a lot to me. If you weren't a fuckign racist you'd say I don't want my child involved in black culture, not I don't want to have a black kid. There's a huge difference. I wouldn't want my kids around the wrong kind of black culture either. It's also greatly implying that the race is hosed. It's not.



I honestly thought that it was so obviously racist that you guys wouldn't be able to defend it, but I guess it's just only slightly racist? The part that bugs me that you can judge CULTURES all you want, and just be a nationalist. Nobody calls a frenchmen racist because he believes in France and believes it's better than all the other lovely countries, but it is racist to say I wouldn't want to be with a French brown person. Adam is highly judgemental of cultures, which isn't racist. Although it's not exactly politically correct, it makes sense that people will identify themselves as part of a group, and then run with it. You're not racist for saying Jamacians are lazy, regardless of how well informed you are or aren't. To judge someone though because their skin is dark however is loving abhorrent, and inexcusable. Lastly does nobody else see how loving ludicrously retarded it is to want children that look like yourself when children are supposed to be the embodiment of unconditional love?

It wasn't that bad. There are far more awkward things to talk about than that. Gabe got drunk, and acted drunk and it was fine. No where near as awkward as that fight with the black people.
