Starting point is 00:01:14 You know, I miss does that perfectly. You should listen to I miss. Hello and welcome to another episode of Who Are These Podcasts. We listen to podcasts that you don't have to. I'm your host, Carl. With me today, back once again, our friend, Kroge. Welcome Kroge. Morning, Carl. Thank you for having me. In the morning to you, I'd like to remind our listeners, you can visit us at whoarethese.com, our Facebook page, or on Twitter at who are these pod. If you like what you hear, don't forget to give us a positive five-star review on iTunes.
Starting point is 00:01:37 We had a lot of activity on our iTunes page since the last episode, so that's a tease. We'll be talking about that later in the show. But first today we'll be reviewing a podcast called The Adam Corolla Show. Crojan and I both listen to this show a lot. We have not discussed it with each other beforehand. Let's get into it. Crojan, you did the heavy lifting this week and I appreciate that. You have a lot of clips. Yeah, I have a lot to say on the Adam Corolla show, I guess. I found that out in the last couple days. Okay, so we picked this show because I'm an avid listener. You got me into this show in the first place many years ago.
Starting point is 00:02:18 You were an avid listener and I believe that you have dropped off since then. Yeah, I was a 20 year Adam Corolla fan. We used to watch Love Line on MTV back in my college dorm, laugh or asses off about it. I remember Love Line was a great show. Love Line was a great show. It was also a great radio show for many years before and after that I remember my friends. I used to watch the Man Show back in the day So Howard Stern drops off a terrestrial radio in January 2006 And cruel goes on the air on the West Coast They used to put the MP3s up on the website like as they were going through the segment. So I mean, I was listening to them then. In 2009, he starts this podcast.
Starting point is 00:02:50 It starts off with two guys, and lapel mics in his warehouse. And it gradually grows into, he brings the sound guy back. He's got a news girl. It's a very morning zoo type of field. There's a news segment, there's collars, very radio-ass type of field there's a new segment there's collars very radio-ass type of type of field of the show anyway, about last
Starting point is 00:03:08 Summer My god, I heard everything I could fucking hear from Adam Corolla and I went from like looking forward to the show and Spend in my morning jog with the show and my morning commute with the show to like I can't listen to another Fucking story about this guy's fucking parents and everything else and So I dropped off I hadn't listened to it in over a year until we started talking about doing this and I went right back and it's like I never fucking dropped off. Dude, they were talking about the same shit that we're talking about last fucking summer. Okay.
Starting point is 00:03:37 Oh my God. I was wondering if you were going to grab clips from old shows. We didn't specify usually on WATP. We picked a specific episode to review from a podcast. And of course, Adam Corolla comes out every day and he's got thousands of shows. So I was wondering if you're going to go back to shows that you listen to back when you listen to it or if you're going to pull from more recent episodes. So you pulled from this week.
Starting point is 00:03:58 Yeah, just the last week or so. Okay. So I've I still listen to Adam Corolla regularly I still like the show, but I feel Yeah, I pulled a couple of ISOs to illustrate this point things like this and I I'm a broken record over here Yep, and also this is a fun ISO for Adam Corolla and I've told you store before but I've told you the story before Carl But let me launch into a six and a half minute fucking tie rate about some traffic situation I encountered six and a half years ago. So did you happen to listen to, you did a podcast from his other warehouse
Starting point is 00:04:33 and of course a very rich man. He's a huge warehouse where he does a show and then another one where he has all of his cars and makes his documentaries and all that stuff. He had a show from his other warehouse where they were watching the Floyd May weather, kind of a grugger fight. Did you hear that one?
Starting point is 00:04:49 I saw that the feed and I avoided it. Okay, like the fucking play. All right, good. You got a million clips, so I'm going to get us started here. He's talking to these guys, and I thought this was kind of funny, because this is what he says. My listeners have heard me tell the same 11 stories sometimes. Right. Like, which is great. I mean, at least he acknowledges that. because this is what he says. My listeners have heard me tell the same 11 stories sometimes.
Starting point is 00:05:05 Like, which is great. I mean, at least he acknowledges that. But so, you know, the other guy on the show was like, yeah, and actually they give him a little bit of shit. This is the longer version of that clip. My listeners have heard me tell the same 11 stories sometimes.
Starting point is 00:05:21 Like, I'm not a live in that. I met, I crowned it up So I mean they're acknowledging it at least that it does repeat himself often This is the thing that surprises me about Adam Crowe. I think he's very funny. I think it's a good show but he does repeat himself a lot and in morning radio that's to be expected because people listen for between 20 minutes and 35 minutes at a time They don't hear the whole show. I remember when Howard Stern went off the air in Rochester You started burning me the episodes on you know because they were empty three somewhere
Starting point is 00:05:59 You would burn them on CD-ROMs for me and that was the first time I ever listened to whole episodes of Howard Stern I used to always just grab little bits and pieces in the community and so in radio you repeat what you did yesterday You talk about what you're gonna do tomorrow then you do it tomorrow, and of course, it's just and if something If something big comes up in the news you want to make sure you mention the 7 o'clock hour I want to make sure you mention the 8 o'clock hour and it goes on and on like that. So I think Adam Corolla is still in that mode It goes on and on like that. So I think Adam Corolla is still in that mode But he shouldn't be because people are listening you're not just listening to a 15-minute clips of his show Exactly well, and he himself says, you know, this is a podcast. I don't have to set the table again So you know every 15 minutes you're gonna say well, I'm sitting here talking to Carl from the WATP podcast
Starting point is 00:06:39 Like you wouldn't an amity if you just jill it us. Yeah, exactly So here's the thing that that kills me about Adam Corolla. He's a very good broadcaster, but... Yes. He does... The Adam Corolla show, five days a week. He does Ace on the House. He does Carcast,
Starting point is 00:06:54 Take a Knee, Reasonable Doubt, and the Adam and Drew Show, which is also five days a week now. No, Jesus. So he's putting out like 15 podcasts every single week. Oh, yeah. And most of them are an hour plus where it's just him talking. Oh yeah. There's formats to these shows. Of course.
Starting point is 00:07:12 There's a little bit of format to Adam Crowell's show. I do like to have some recurring bits, games, and things they play. I wish more podcasts would do that sort of thing. I started listening to this is just a side note. I started listening to Anthony and Arty show. Oh boy. Yeah, so Anthony Kumya and Arty Lang, I decided, let's give this a try. And oh my God, it pisses me off, even guys who are that talented,
Starting point is 00:07:36 and I love Anthony Kumya, I love Arty Lang. Even guys who are that talented, who think that they don't have any format at all, we'll just shoot the ship for two hours, like Jesus Christ. You know, do that. It's not we'll just shoot the shit for two hours. Like Jesus Christ, don't do that. It's not good. This may be out there for an analogy.
Starting point is 00:07:49 Adam Crowell's a very funny guy, and he is a great rhythm. Like when he's talking, when he's hosting a show, he's doing the traffic comp thing. There's a great rhythm to it that is compelling to listen to. But I found some of the worst bandmates that I've had have been the best musicians. They have natural talent, they show up, they know they can just wing it,
Starting point is 00:08:05 silly, don't fucking prepare it all. And I guarantee that's what's going on here. He waltz is in, he has no idea what he's gonna talk about. He knows he can just open his mouth and talk for an hour. So he just does it and it's just, it ends up being repeated the same shirt from the day before, the other day before that. And I, I'm a broken record over here.
Starting point is 00:08:20 Precisely. And then I'll say, wait, was I telling that on this podcast or the other podcast? Well, let me just fucking break into it. Yeah, you know that was telling Gary gonna see other day It's like yes, I do know Yeah, you've time the other show and some of those other people like he's with Dr. Drew who's just a fucking beat and beat and man at this point I can't listen to that show anymore. I stopped listening to Adam and Drew show because it was just Adam Kroha Belittling Dr. Drew Oh my god for an hour at a time over just fucking nonsense. So back to the
Starting point is 00:08:49 back to the Adam Corolla show. Let's get into some clips here. I got I got a whole slate of football games to watch today. Let's talk about our cast. So we got we got Paul Bryan who's been there since the radio show days. He's funny. I love Paul Bryan. He's great at the clips. The the drops. He's quick and then we got Gina Gina's a newer edition. She only been there a few years She's different from the rest of the gang and that she has a great broadcasters voice like she's very much a robin quiver's type She's an incredible voice lovely woman Zero personality or humor or ability to tell a joke and just if you want to fire off those first three clips
Starting point is 00:09:25 That I got let's listen to Gina adding to the show. I had a crush on this girl. So whistleblower. I assume I wish she blown more than whistle Okay, that was Gina Caclay in the background Cac and And mine's got a good line there, but all right, maybe not Number two is just distracting how this laugh goes. From the 80s, and full, full glaze and ceramic on a plate.
Starting point is 00:09:51 That's not glazed. Shella, Ryan. It is. Okay. Could you imagine sitting around a table with someone who fucking laughed like that? Well, here's the thing with Gina Gregg. Couple of things that I want to point out.
Starting point is 00:10:03 One is that she is on a morning radio show. Yes. She is a morning jock that is her profession in life. So it's odd because usually podcasts don't get the radio pros on there and there's a good reason for that. Because podcasting is all about not being that cheesy morning drive radio show. And Gina Grad was hired after Ellison Rosen was fired.
Starting point is 00:10:27 Yeah. And the reasons that Adam Krullig gave for Ellison Rosen getting fired, I think is the reason why Gina Grad sucked so bad. Yes, because he's like, I don't like Ellison Rosen because she's not on board. She's not loving everything that I'm doing. She gets bored when I play race car sound.
Starting point is 00:10:43 Right, exactly. So I think that that's kind of Gina is going, okay, I got it. Yeah, I have to sit here and it's like everything is amazing. Oh, yeah, yeah, it's going around me all the time. And speaking of that, here's number three. Here's Gina trying to make a point. In, in the movie, there's a big Vegas tournament.
Starting point is 00:11:01 Did they, did they ever do that in Vegas? A big armrest? Yeah. Yeah, they have that in Vegas a big arm? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, they have that. Life show. Oh my God. Is this a microphone in front of us? Yeah. Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God. It's a microphone in my phone. I mean, if you talk to people on Twitter, they might argue that I don't have a microphone for the show. But yes, it is a microphone in
Starting point is 00:11:19 front of us. Oh, 10 can't string whatever. All right. And I swear to God, I'm done picking on Gina after this one. Well, I want to back up real quick on that clip. I want to explain that. She's talking about, could I listen to all these shows? Of course. She's talking about the movie over the top of Sylvester Stilow, it's an arm wrestling movie. Yeah. I watched this back in the 80s when it came out. Good Lord. It's garbage. It's just a pile of crap. She brings it up like it's this hidden gem of a movie that everyone has to see. Yeah. Because Adam Crowe talks about Cobra all the time, that's an old semester salon movie that he's in love with. So now she's part of the club because she likes her over the top and apparently in her world
Starting point is 00:11:54 all of a sudden out of nowhere arm wrestling is really important and she goes oh my gosh there's an arm wrestling tournament in Vegas. That's amazing. I know it's not. It's not nobody cares It's a 40-year-old movie about a non-sport. I mean what the fuck are we talking about? It's got a six-center-oughten tomatoes. What are we doing? Yeah. All right, what do we got? So number four is Gina talking or laughing at the bathroom door if the door is six eight inches open That means enter at your own race. Yeah There's no fucking way you think that's funny, Gina, because this is the 500th fucking time you've heard. The five minutes, a little, about the bathroom door.
Starting point is 00:12:32 When I used to listen all those years ago, that was one of the things that drove me fucking crazy. It's a door as close, I'm using that, it's a door as close, but dude, it was a five minute speech that I heard dozens of times. The first fucking show that I queued up after my year-long hiatus from the Corolla show. The first fucking thing they talk about is the bathroom fucking door and then Gina's cracking up like it's the funny if this was the first fucking time you heard
Starting point is 00:12:52 it maybe it's worth a chuckle. The 50th time the same story with the same fucking it's unfuckin believable to me. And I've told you to start before but thank you so much. So let's get into some of the content of the adim carol now i got a i got a uh... a three-click package here okay great now your instinct is going to be to play clips over this and try to make it funny but i think that we should present to our
Starting point is 00:13:17 audience at w a t p how to make thirty seconds into a fucking attorney go ahead and number five for me so you're telling me not to play drops over this Let's just what I get bored Let's really take a moment to let the second this is Thursday 10 in the morning. Take the car out. Just take the car So that's how fast everyone is going. So Carl, that's how fast everyone was going Then he says this can you hit number six for me? Yeah, and everyone tweets me next thing goes. It's a podcast, dude
Starting point is 00:14:13 So that I'll show you after I play my race car sounds people write me and say Ed and we don't like it when you play race car sounds because it's a podcast We don't know what the fuck you're talking about so he says this and then for four solid minutes because I fucking timed it it goes this I trapped it down to 30 some seconds here's number seven it just goes it just goes it goes it goes it goes it goes it goes it's listed in the blue fucking sonoco Porsche like even if you can hear what the fuck they're saying which is a challenge you can't you don't know what it's This is why Allison Rosen got fired because she wasn't excited about these races or he was and that's showing them during a podcast So this goes on for five minutes and then the rest of the cast is like Pretending to be fucking interesting. Oh Adam that blue car is going so fast. I don't they know why the fucking thing
Starting point is 00:15:20 So as we're going on so we already talked about trying to take a shit at the racetrack We talked about driving on the fucking racetrack now. Let's get into Clip 8 where he talks and this is another long one I apologize, but this is like this is like I this is a door This is this is an open door into the psyche of Anne Crawl so Then we sit down at the quail and turns out the guy was sitting across from He auditioned with me at this warehouse when I was doing American top gear. He's an automotive journalist and we were just sitting next
Starting point is 00:15:54 to him and he says I've been an automotive journalist for 30 years and said okay and then Matt who's kind of the salesman in the group he, have you seen the 24-hour war or documentary on Le Mans? He said, no, I haven't caught that one. And then he said, have you seen the Paul Newman raising document? Now, wow. And it's like, it's so insanely frustrating because you've got a guy who's been doing this for 30 years, they are choked of any kind of quality. When you watch those car videos and stuff, it's grainy,
Starting point is 00:16:27 it's bad, it's snuff porn is a higher quality and better produced and better acted. And for some reason, the guy who does this for a living, it never trickle down to him. It's right in a sweet spot. He's the right age, like a six year old guy. Be perfect for him. Had never heard of either one.
Starting point is 00:16:46 Which is amazing. It is insane. It is up your alley. Could not be more up your alley. That's fucking amazing. So just someone hasn't seen the movie. He made this not available anywhere. Yeah, let's just fill in the blanks
Starting point is 00:16:57 for the listeners at home. Dude, Adam Crowley made two documentaries about race car drivers. And it's fucking amazing! That he has never even heard of my movie. It's fucking a mate, can you believe that, Carl? No, listen Carl, you may not know this about me. He just get personally offended when people have a CD
Starting point is 00:17:15 to shoot documentaries. It's odd. You may or may not know this about me, Carl, but I play a little guitar. I've been on a few CDs. I've got a guy the other day who likes CDs. He never even fucking heard my CD Can you believe that? Wait, he listens to music you play music and he's never heard you never even heard isn't that Amazing
Starting point is 00:17:34 All right, so this goes on for like six other minutes I can't believe these people never heard of my shitty movie that you can't even fucking get anywhere Well, gross. Tell me how you're wired. I just want all of it. Sorry. I'll tell you exactly what. So a half hour later, same episode. Number nine comes up. This is different. I wish I had a pencil just to break.
Starting point is 00:17:53 All right, you know what? You should have a stash. No one of them to let me see it. I'm going to tuck it between my ass cheeks. And Vinnie's going to coach me up. So I can just, you know what? What's that snapping sound? Nothing.
Starting point is 00:18:04 I'll just keep a pencil. So when go hold on before you answer with the doc Let me just There you go. All right Did you see my documentary person whose car was in the middle of my documentary with your bikini girls down on the track? And who knows maybe even you and some of the shot. I haven't caught that That would be it It's weird, right? It's so weird. It's so weird. It's not for me. It's so weird. So Adam Kroole goes to a race track. And this
Starting point is 00:18:36 is he's talking about I cut out all the contacts, but he's talking about a different group of people that he talked to who never saw his documentary. This dude is wandering around a race track just asking everyone he comes in contact to, hey did you see my documentaries? Hey do you see my documentaries? Hey I may movie with that car have you ever seen it? No I don't even think he's doing that. I think he assumes everyone there is a raven Adam Kroloff fan who have watched his documentaries
Starting point is 00:18:59 on a loop and then when they are like I've never heard of that he's like what? Oh my god. I was even possible because in his world that he spent years on that nonsense and of course everyone knows about how could they not? It's I mean the the the blazing narcissism is fucking intense and it's like it gets painful to listen to what a certain point and Aren't the people around you supposed to say at some point? Maybe they just didn't fucking see it. It's not that weird. You know what I mean? Yeah, I talk to people all the time and I fucking haven't seen anything they was saying who gives a fuck So let's step outside that and crawl the show for just a minute and go to the Adam and Drew show
Starting point is 00:19:36 I got two clips ADS one and two okay This is also from this week and I think this is just to to shine a light on some of the other projects that the ace man has going. Alright, ADS 1. Here you go. At Pebble Beach and I was sitting around eating lunch and I was sharing a table with a guy. Automotive journalist of 30 years.
Starting point is 00:19:57 Tom Shales? No. Tom Shales. And I said, Tom's like, and I said, oh, okay, and he started like talking to me about stuff or whatever, and I said, I made a documentary about pulling him a race. Oh, what's the name of that? I was waning the race and I'd pull it.
Starting point is 00:20:16 Oh, okay, I left. That's pretty telly. He started talking to you about stuff for whatever. He's not a listener. He's in a corolla. No, no, no, no. So I pop on the Andrew show. This is the opening segment. Oh really? Drew says, you know, Adam, I see people that say, oh, I used to love you and Adam on
Starting point is 00:20:33 love line. And I say, oh my God, it's so weird that you haven't heard that we do a fucking podcast now. So he says this. Okay. This is the first 30 seconds of the fucking show. And it kicks Adam off into this whole fucking thing about no one's seen my documentary. Go ahead and hit Adam number two. And it's still, it's like guys who do journalism for 30 years have been like, they haven't even heard of it, which is insane because somebody, I guarantee, you know what I said though?
Starting point is 00:20:58 They haven't even heard of it. Of course they haven't even heard of it. Oh my god. It's not widely known about. It's not widely distributed. You can't find that. It's got shitty reviews and no one fucking cares. And you know what?
Starting point is 00:21:11 If you're a fucking race car journalist for 30 fucking years, the last thing you want to do is sit and watch some half-ass fucking documentary. Right. So anyway, I actually watched winning the racing right life of Paul Newman. Yeah? Yeah, because he talked about it every day, so I just had to check it out. And I watched a lot of documentaries. It's not really well done as a documentary. It's pretty boring. Yeah, I get only imagined. Yeah, I mean, the story arc, he talked about this amazing payoff that he ended up getting at the end, and there is no payoff. It just is, and then he did this race, and and then he did that race and then here's a clip from this car that he drove in and then and then
Starting point is 00:21:49 You know two hours later you can't get that time back in your life and it's over. Yeah, okay Now I understand I am not gonna be watching anymore Documentaries for mr. Crowell. Yeah Yeah, and then it's yeah, he spends fucking hours of his life across multiple podcasts Just fucking so weird that no one's fucking seeing my Documentary. All right, I want to take I want to take our conversation in a different direction for a minute Then we can get back because you do have a lot of clips that we have to get to so Over a year ago
Starting point is 00:22:16 The it used to be Corolla digital He's now on podcast one. Yes, and podcast one I think came out of a radio group, if I'm not mistaken. It's a giant corporation that said, hey, we should get some money from this podcasting thing. I think what they do, correct me if I'm wrong here, Chris, is they help monetize podcasts. Are there the ones that connect the advertisers to the earballs of the listeners of podcasts. Yes. And I remember when this podcast one thing happened, and Krola said, okay, we're gonna do something new here.
Starting point is 00:22:53 Twice a week, we do five shows, two shows, there won't be any swearing. Yeah, clean shows. We're gonna do clean shows because, you know, how are we gonna get these big advertisers? We don't want to just do blue apron. Yeah? We don't wanna just do Blue Apron. Yeah. We don't wanna do the shit that monetizes all the podcasts. We wanna have Chrysler and we wanna have Coca-Cola. So we have to have these clean shows.
Starting point is 00:23:14 And there are certain ads that run during the Adam Corolla show that I get physically ill listening to. There are ads by a company called Geico. Have you heard of this company? I believe I've heard that. Holy fucking shit. They have this thing where the bit is this.
Starting point is 00:23:36 Saving money on current insurance by switching to Geico is always a good answer. Okay, that's the payoff. So let me play you the genius writing and acting of these Geico spots always a good answer. Hmm. Okay, that's the payoff. So let me play you the genius writing and acting of these Geico spots that even on Terrestrial Radio would stand out like a sore thumb. Okay Kevin, for the grand prize of $1 million. What color is the White House?
Starting point is 00:23:59 Um, I know this, I know this, I know this, um, five seconds. Oh! Switching to Geico could save you a bunch of money on car insurance? Okay. Judges! That's true, Kevin! Nila-Nila, congratulations! You're a winner!
Starting point is 00:24:17 Woo! Geico. And what universe is that fucking setup funny? What color is the White House? Or interesting or interesting. That's ridiculously dumb. And the only thing that's good about these Geico spots, I'm gonna play a few more of them,
Starting point is 00:24:32 is that they're 30 seconds. And I use an app called Overcast, where you could just fast forward 30 seconds at a time. So as soon as I hear that, I'm gonna Geico set up a poof. You know, that was one of my questions because the show begins with two minutes of advertising. There's two minutes of ads at the end.
Starting point is 00:24:48 There's several live reads and pre-recorded commercial breaks. A lot of the show. A lot of ads. But especially those beginning and ending segments, like who's listening to that? Well, yeah, who's the target audience, I think, are paralyzed people. Someone comes in and hits play form
Starting point is 00:25:03 and they can't get over to the skip button. Okay, this one is another guy co-spot that is so cringe-inducing. It's so poorly acted and cheesy and unrelatable. Daddy, where do babies come from? Uh, well, honey. Mommy went to the store. Oh, well, you see, well, there's a mommy and a daddy, right? What?
Starting point is 00:25:28 And see when they call Gai-ko. They could save a bunch of money on car insurance. Oh, really? And that makes them happy? Yes, that makes them very happy. That's good. Yeah, well, I'm glad we could have this talk sunshine. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:25:43 Hey, wow. I mean, Kroje, you know I'm an advertising. I've heard that yeah That's my profession and so when I hear these spots it pisses me off because not only did someone write this down and Pitch it to the client but the client went yeah, that's fine Somebody fucking approved this shit. This is the worst written copy. I've ever heard that makes him really happy Yeah, that's a noble noble conversation I had with a toddler. All right, here's another one. And this one is terrible because it's a fucking sight gag.
Starting point is 00:26:12 How this got a through? This is this one. Okay, keep your eyes closed. Okay. I want to show you my first ever painting. All right. Okay. Open your eyes.
Starting point is 00:26:22 Oh, that's a lot of colors and shades. So, be honest, what do you think? Well, I like how if you switched to Geico, you could save hundreds of dollars on car insurance. Oh, yeah, that's true. Yeah, here, why don't I hold your paintbrush while you call them? Oh, areas. Oh boy.
Starting point is 00:26:42 So in other words, I guess this painting isn't very good across sounds like maybe this guy isn't that good at painting. It's fucking mind numbingly terrible. It is. I have Geico as my car insurance company and I'm going to switch because of these spots. I was just gonna say I had to pay more. I will pay more. I don't give a shit. The final one does something that I brought up on a show recently is a giant pet peeve of mine personally This is the last one I'm going to play for you. So again, the 30 seconds if you want to skip it 30 second ahead button starting
Starting point is 00:27:17 You're listening to love advice with lian caller. You're on the air. Uh highly and long time listener first time caller Why in your professional opinion? Do you never take my calls off the air? Is this Carl? Yeah, it's Carl. I mean, we had a few dates, everything was great, I thought. Well, you know, when you switched to Geico, you could save a lot of money on car insurance. Okay, awesome. You should call them. I will.
Starting point is 00:27:43 Geico. Um, why is the name Carl always the shit had boob? Okay, awesome you should call them I will Why is the name Carl always the shit had boob? I don't understand why that's the punchline now. It's like oh is this Carl? Creep creep alert. Oh fuck this guy. I will say you're doing Some great work on this podcast to reclaim the good name Carl. Thank you, crush. I do what I can on this podcast to reclaim the good name Carl. Thank you, Crochet. I do what I can. All right, that was my rant on Geico.
Starting point is 00:28:08 There's a shit ton of commercials during Adam Corolla's show and the Geico commercials need to stop. They actually play, so you had mentioned there's a bet in the beginning, a bet in the middle, a bet at the end. They play that same Geico spot twice during the same episode. Because if you didn't get all the nuance of it the first time, the next time you go to the like, oh the painting sucks, this is hilarious. You know it's like a Simpsons episode, sometimes when you watch for the second time,
Starting point is 00:28:36 you get all the jokes that you miss the first time. Geico commercials are just like season six of The Simpsons. I hear you. So you want to talk about Adam's family? Does he have a family? You know what, he never thinks about his family as he's gonna tell you in clip number 10. Does he have, because I don't know if he even has parents,
Starting point is 00:28:53 does he talk about them a while? Well, he doesn't think about them. When somebody says you need help financially, or you need help building something, or you need help with your cars broken, or you made the New York Times Specialist. I don't think about my family ever. I have not ever I think, oh, maybe Kevin Hinch can help me out with this thing. Or I'm going to tell Dr. Drew, but I made the New York Times or whatever it is, but I don't even, I'm not saying I blocked them out.
Starting point is 00:29:20 I've been framed to not even think about them. So he doesn't think about his family except someone called in with a completely unrelated question. And his first of all, he goes, I've been on the New York best times, but so do I listen, I made a documentary and I wrote a book and I did this and I did that. And I don't even think about asking my dad about it because my dad doesn't, I mean, Yeah, he's got some issues with his parents. He talks about his parents a lot. Every show, every fucking show. Now, here he's gonna, on track 11, he's gonna introduce a guest named Mark Garagos. Okay.
Starting point is 00:29:50 So let's see how this goes. All right. I am attracted to Mark Garagos. And I get a lot of attention. I mean, I am so attracted. My family is the biggest group of flatliners. You'll ever meet in your life. And if you bring up anything to them,
Starting point is 00:30:07 like, hey, I'm thinking about renting out my other house because I can afford a new one and I'll get the income to go, well, what if a bunch of bikers move into cook math? Like, does this do, everything's like, don't do it. It's a bummer, it's never gonna work. Good trap.
Starting point is 00:30:19 And Mark Garagas is so positive that I'm actually attracted to his positivity. This is him trying to introduce someone to the audience. You know what, I like this guy, he's got a shit head, like my family. If I told you my family's a bunch of shit heads. Yeah, so Carl, my friend Chris is coming over. You're really gonna like Chris.
Starting point is 00:30:36 He's very cool. He's not like my dad, my dad's a piece of shit. He never loved me, but Chris is cool. You're gonna like him. My dad never went to one of my games and I was such a good football player and he was right across the street. He never showed how many times he brought that.
Starting point is 00:30:47 Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God. But Adam also has a rich home life filled with, you know, nurturing romantic relationship with his wife. Maybe if you play number 12, we can start listening to a little bit of that. I always love to follow up. It's my wife, Did you feed the dog? Yes, I did.
Starting point is 00:31:06 So you fed Phil. I pass it progressively, never answer. I just stand there because according to your math, we could go forever. We could just keep going for infinity. Like I can keep saying yes, and you could keep asking. We're really phrasing it. Or did it the first yes?
Starting point is 00:31:20 So now I know you've heard the story, 50,000 fucking times. As have I. I yes his wife sometimes Add some age of either dog and that says and you've had them and then he just fucking glares at her Gives her the silent treatment. Can you imagine living with someone like that like let's just be fun Let's just say that's a pet peeve ears, okay? Why don't say well, honey? I just said that I I did you don't have asked me or something I mean there is fucking 10 million decent ways to handle that situation.
Starting point is 00:31:47 You even know that that's how it's going down. And that's how he's interpreting in his head. I'll give you some evidence that maybe he's not a lot of fun to hang out with. He tells these stories all the time. Yeah. They go to Vegas because he's got a gig there and he brings the family.
Starting point is 00:32:03 And he has to go back because he's got a bunch of work to do He's 15 podcasts a week and the family will say no, we're gonna we're gonna stay here or They'll have something going on and they're like we're just gonna go to Disneyland. We're gonna take they Love to get the fuck away from this guy. Oh my god, and you know He doesn't come out and say it, but it's very obvious because he talks about it all the time Yeah, yeah, my family's very obvious because he talks about it all the time. Oh, yeah. Yeah, my family's all doing this fun stuff without me. It's like, yeah, there's probably a reason for that.
Starting point is 00:32:29 You're insufferable. Yeah. Yeah. I do like Adam Crowley, though. I like this show. Have I met you there? There you go. Well, and this is the thing is, you know what?
Starting point is 00:32:37 There are some good things on the show, but listening to it just for these couple episodes, I have checked out this week. It was, I couldn't take it. Well, you hit number 13. Let's hear another great story about Ab's home life. couple episodes I have checked out this week. It was, I couldn't take it. Well, you hit number 13. Let's hear another great story about I have so in life. When Lynette says to me, where's the rubbing compound? I want to take the scuff out of the jag.
Starting point is 00:32:51 I immediately go, what, what, what? Huh? No. No, no, what's going on? What's going on? That's just how I'm wired. Okay, so his wife Lynette had a scuff in the jag war. He suggested she get some rubbing compound, but she didn't.
Starting point is 00:33:04 Then one day she did and he knew that she was going to pick up someone important. I've heard the story 5,000 fucking times, I know you have as well. So the point where it's now a shorthand on his show, someone called up, this was some totally fucking unrelated fan call. I actually have this. Oh good. Can we can we talk about this? Oh please, please, please. All right, so as long as it's not my buddy Mike. All right, so this is Mike. Oh, I got a good package of this. Please, please, please. All right, so as long as it's not my buddy Mike. All right, so this is Mike. Oh, I got a good package of this. Do you want to, you want to hit your package first? You know what? I got a whole saga for this in the real short. Okay. Why don't you hit number 17? This is our first introduction of Mike. Okay. All right, let's see. We've got a call up here. Mike,
Starting point is 00:33:42 50, Chicago Mike. Yeah, I had a mate do. Hold on. Someone's calling. Someone's rufus leaking. Hold on a second from Houston. Stephen. Sorry, Mike. We'll get back to him. Hang on, Mike. Yeah. All right. So hang on. We're, but just want to talk to Mike. Well, hang on Mike. Hit number 18. This is right after that call. All right. I'll talk to Mike in one second first I'll tell you about bomb fell on easier way for men to get better clothes. All right, you gotta be fun
Starting point is 00:34:11 Gimme all right. Where's the fuck talking like let me read this fucking thing? This is a lot of teases for Mike This must be an amazing call now Mike finally gets through yeah, and number 19 is his request all right Let's hop up a tick one more call Mike 50 Chicago request. Alright, let's hop up and take one more call. Mike 50 Chicago. Hi Adam, you told the story and the Adam and Drew show last Thanksgiving and I don't think you ever told on this show and I thought Gina Bob Bryant would like to hear it. Fuck you Mike! Fuck you Mike! Fuck you Mike! Isn't that funny? But this fucking creak is on the phone for a fucking hour! We need to get into the ace
Starting point is 00:34:44 man show. He gets picked up on oh We're not gonna talk to you just yet hang on Mike then he takes another call hang on Mike We're gonna read a fucking end then Mike finally gets through and what does Mike have to say hey Adam Could you retell a fucking story that you've already told 50 times about your dad? That's what he was on the fucking phone for and the funniest part is is the way he sets it up He goes I don't know if Gina and Bald Bryan have heard this story before these people are with him five days a week They've heard every don't do it for Gina and bald. That's fine. Oh my god. Oh my god So this so this is the question that Mike asks and this leads to because I did time it and 11 minute answer
Starting point is 00:35:21 The force it is I have in this package about to present to you and it's a little bit longer. I apologize. I can then sound the 11 minutes because the question the story is at Thanksgiving your dad started playing a fake trumpet trumpet. And he's like if at Thanksgiving he started pretending to play the trumpet. So tell that story again. So, and cruel can't just identify the question and answer it. Of course. He has to go into an endless rant. See what I did there about his fucking parents and his relationship with his parents again.
Starting point is 00:36:01 So here's a clip with him just going on and on and on and I tried to just skip through so you can get a sense of all the different places this goes. Some of them we might have already heard because it's just half the show, but this is what this sounded like. Yeah, him and Joel McEl. Oh yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:17 My dad is so awesome. Yes. He's got this thing which is everybody just, you know, whatever I do or cars or racing or comedy or books or whatever, he's just kind of comfortably out of it. His plan is to just be left alone and the way you can get here's the deal. And a lot of people might think, well, hit up my dad or my dad'll do it or my dad, whatever. I've never thought that in my life. I never even have that.
Starting point is 00:36:57 They don't ask. I go talk to Congress. I don't know whether or my parents know or have known So when Lynette says to me where's the rubbing? So my dad who's a ham which is weird with all his other component ring, showed up at my sister's Thanksgiving and he forgot his trumpet or he didn't bring his trumpet or whatever it is. Why don't we fire up some music, some like jazz music and all scat.
Starting point is 00:37:44 Why don't we fire up some music some like jazz music and I'll scan Sitting there going shoo but up Really it's the it's the worst of all worlds uh, am I that that the satisfying? Yeah, and I see there's a part of me. Okay, so that was 10 minutes after this guy goes, Hey, tell the guys a story about, he talks about everything but that. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:14 For 12 minutes, and then he goes back, he's like, So Mike, is that good? Yeah. Do you like that? And Mike says, I love it. I hate Mike. You're a fucking creep. Mike, go to hell.
Starting point is 00:38:23 Yeah. You go to hell and you dad All right, that was the my caller saga. We can move on from that so sometimes Adam has a hot take on a topical issue. Oh, yes, he does so maybe you can hit number 14 Let's think what Adam Let's hear what Adam thinks about music classes and I would get yelled at when I'd see these commercial be like Hi, I'm Cheryl Crow You know a lot of the music programs and high schools and junior highs. We need your help It turns out people that play the viola are three times more likely to hold down jobs or whatever and it's like
Starting point is 00:38:54 What about jobs for four people who need to learn pipe fitting and plumbing and elect being electricians like how and I'd get yelled at By the people are telling me that music programs were more important than this which is an insane elitist bullshit angle. All right. We got a couple things going on here. Okay. First of all, Adam Kerala, king of the fucking straw man. Dude, people are yelling at me. People are yelling.
Starting point is 00:39:21 Who the fuck is yelling at me? Nobody's yelling at me. No one's yelling at you. No one gives a shit. Now the other thing we got here is that Ed of Crow feels that there should be more vocational types of education. Well, and that should be stress more. No, but that's not what he said. What he says is, if you think that there are music that music classes are important,
Starting point is 00:39:41 you're an elitist piece of shit that doesn't give a fuck about vocational training car how dare you! Come into my fucking home and say this bullshit that music classes are good for kids. Like I can't wear this fire it up this early in the morning. I'm glad we're doing the Adam Carola show fine. This is good. Oh my god. We'll do like that and and he's been to be the first one to yell about a slippery slow argument but everything the every view that he has is a straight-up slippery slope dude. If you think that the science is true, that music classes are actually really important for the development of the childhood of brain, you must fucking hate training kids for plumbing or electricians.
Starting point is 00:40:14 Now I know a couple musicians and I will say the musician is fucking hate plumbers. I mean that's just, it's an old stereotype. I know it's an old joke, we all bend there. But like, so that's just one, that's the one thing I picked out of there But I mean you could pick any topic as long as it has to do with something that was relevant in the early 1990s when Cheryl Coral would have been making commercials right and that's basically the fucking take you get out of it We got it brand new segment in the middle of show. This was new to me. I was very excited Oh, it's a Dave damage. Yeah good sports like this is called good sports. Yeah I like Sheki. I have a fat of Dave Damage check. I got a big soft spot my heart for Dave Damage check
Starting point is 00:40:51 I wish I could have heard him talk during a segment on the annual roll show So here we have a what I believe is a podcast within a podcast So we're in the podcast and then we break then we have a new theme and a new fucking podcast that it's three four minutes long Where these guys are gonna talk about sports and then there's an ending game and then we go back to the outer podcast it's a dream within a dream so right let's listen to them talk sports this is number 15 this is the heart of the good sports segment that I heard I don't know but one of my favorite jokes and this will be what we'll end the segment with I'm talking about sports
Starting point is 00:41:23 at all. I wrote a joke for Jimmy Kimmel, which I knew he'd never used for the... Not familiar with that name. For the Oscars, where there was one part where he was gonna talk to Mel Gibson and Mel Gibson, it just had another kid. And it was like a thing where it's like,
Starting point is 00:41:39 geez, Mel Gibson, you're 63 years old, and he just had another kid. And then my joke was, if you just taken your own advice about what should go on in a hot tub, you wouldn't have this mouth defeat now or whatever, because he was screaming, you get into that hot tub and you blow me!
Starting point is 00:41:58 You can scream it, you scream it, and I thought that'd be the great obscure joke that Jimmy will never will never tell I didn't use it. No, Ace. Let's round it out here So that's the boys talking sports except there's nothing to do with sports that joke was fucking awful And I love a good male Gibson Joe. It wasn't his best and you know now But think about let's think about the context here I was writing jokes for the Oscars.
Starting point is 00:42:25 I was at the Academy Awards and I said, hey Jimmy Kimmel, you should make a joke about him wanting a blowjob in the hot tub. This fucking the Academy Awards are gonna love that shit. Oh yeah, look at the camera pointed right at his smiling face. And everyone just have a big belly laugh over that. What the fuck world does that happen? What the fuck is that? I mean, that's not so good. There's not even a good joke for an HBO like adult comedy let alone the Academy Awards like what are you doing there?
Starting point is 00:42:50 What are you doing that? You know the Adam Krola has this saying don't do your best to my best Oh, yeah, has it on t-shirts. Oh, yeah hats. I saw on the sub-reddit a pretty funny Update to that don't do Adam Kro's best, do Jimmy Kimmel's best. Yeah, no shit, no shit. I mean, he's not even the most successful person of his pure group. Yeah, no shit. No shit.
Starting point is 00:43:12 I'm down by yourself, everybody. Well, so hit number 16, this is a closing theme to the guy who's born, right? Well, explored in the next episode. All right, of good sports. Next time on podcast one sport I left it in just for the high pitch well that's the worst fucking thing I've ever heard my I like the good sports music
Starting point is 00:43:43 It's it's not an as distracting. It's like distracting. I just fucking heard this now There's this fucking song with his awful It's like I just fucking heard this now when there's this fucking song with his awful What do you do? It's not for a chemistry exam. What do you mean it's just acting? What are you doing? I'm trying to pick up valuable information A fair enough Adam's childhood in the late seventies in North Hollywood good point now sometimes Adam Corolla has guests in the studio one of his favorite gases a guy named Vinny Torterich correct Vinny is a his favorite gas is a guy named Vinny Torterich. Correct. Vinny is a special, special guy. So right off the bat, number 20, I think he explains
Starting point is 00:44:09 why he has the guy in the studio. I took your supplements this morning. This guy is a straight up snake oil salesman. He's gonna tell you why you need B12 under the tongue and all this fucking bullshit. And I had a bunch of clashes to make it all mine. Could I give you a little bit of background? I'm fucking shit. I'm Vinny Tor'm video-torturist please please please
Starting point is 00:44:27 he is a nutritionist and I guess trainer he works with a lot of celebrities is big claim to families these how he mandellers will get their new tradition oh well great so that that's how they got um connected but Vinnie's had some amazing shit happen to him in his life if you play number 21
Starting point is 00:44:45 He got to meet Mick Jagger. I met Stallone because of driven and it was the same night. I met The guy from the stones. I'm Mick Jagger Was Mick Jagger in that movie? No Mick Jagger was in another movie No, I was a harlan. Harlan. What happened? No, I'm not fucking with you. They spent four minutes on IMDB looking at what movies Mick Jagger was in and what other movies came out at that time with fucking weird cars in them that try to kill people. Not once did they ask them, hey Vinnie, you met probably the most famous singer of the last 60 years a guy who's cultural influences. It's just unmatched. Even if you spent 30 seconds with a guy what was it like? What was he friendly with? No one gives a shit. They never asked, dude, you met one of the most famous human beings ever. There's not a lot of listening. Let's fucking spend 10 minutes on IMDB looking at fucking movies from 1991. It's fucking awful. You're angry. I want to cheer you up. So then I want to cheer you up. Go ahead
Starting point is 00:45:45 Please All right, that is good shit getting back to those things we enjoyed my mark that really does Wow in the world. I miss my friend Mindy. Um, so then yes Vinnie takes questions from the cast about nutrition. This is Gina asking a question over 22 Yes, here's a fruit category that I don't think we talk about too much and I just learned this word So I really want to say it the stone fruit category So like you know the plums the peaches the apricot with the stones in the middle Stones all right. I just learned a word car
Starting point is 00:46:22 Stone fruit. It's fruit with stones in the middle. On number 23, Vinnie tells us about this. Papaya, pineapple. Right. There's things that deserve it. Your liver doesn't know that from a piece of cake. Right. You know, your liver doesn't weigh in a minute.
Starting point is 00:46:38 He gave me a banana. A banana can't be bad for you. No, your liver sees... Your liver as the perfect meritocracy is is gonna just take what you give it Carl, did you know that your liver is the perfect meritocracy? I did know that because I listen to it He told me that every fucking answer your liver doesn't know a banana from a piece of crack cocaine call Yeah, that that would get a little bit weird. I think that a banana would hit you a little bit differently than a piece of candy. Now, your liver is an important part of the digestive tract. If you base your entire
Starting point is 00:47:10 fucking diet over what your liver is into, you're fucked. As you mentioned, I actually hate my liver, so yeah, yeah. Well, you got enough of it now. It's getting pretty large. So, good point. Vinnie was Howie Mandel. Yeah, he met Adam Coroll through how he manned down. Right. If you hit number 24, we're going to learn a little something about how he manned down. Yeah, well, branch, right? Yeah. So while I was having a burger, I was like, it's true. You'll, you'll, you'll back me up that how he manned Mandel happily eats popcorn out of the lid of a shoe box that he scoops up from a barrel. And I've told you to start for but- Hey number 25, hey number 25 right now.
Starting point is 00:47:53 I just couldn't- I was- I was flummoxed that he- and I've told you to start for but it- He's so powerful right there, right there. He's told that story so many fucking times. He's told that story to the same fucking people. He's stuck with that tool. Right there, right there. Now listen to that story so many fucking times. He's told that story to the same fucking people. He's got Brian, he's got Gina, and he's got Vinnie. Yes. They've all heard the story 50 fucking times. Let me fucking tell you the story about how
Starting point is 00:48:17 how he Mandel eats fucking popcorn, even though he thinks he's a germaphobe. Now hit 26 and what I want you to listen to in this one. Listen to the two cast members back him up by number 26 the popcorn is handful you're right hand in the mouth and then multiple handfuls just so he gets one year right from two people who have heard this thousands of fucking times dude it's fucking maddening it's I can't even fucking imagine who is listening to the show we're getting any entertainment the people in the fucking room can't even fucking imagine who was listening to the show we're getting any entertainment
Starting point is 00:48:45 out of the people in the fucking room can't even stand it. And yet it's going out over the airwaves. It is frustrating that he he's gotten rid of some things that I used to love about the show like Larry Miller. Yeah, Larry Miller was great. Larry Miller was on every week and they would do what was the road trip game? A hypothetical road trip game. A hypothetical road trip.. A hypothetical road trip.
Starting point is 00:49:05 That was always fun. And now instead of that, he's got Blink 180 true as a guest. Oh yeah. So just a few weeks ago, and I actually, because I know Kroes just listened to the show anymore, I had a talk to him about it before I knew we were gonna do this podcast.
Starting point is 00:49:22 He had a band that covers a band that used to be famous and they were his guests in studio. A blank one 82 tribute band called Blink 180 true. Well the wallflowers what the fuck is going on here. The wallflowers cover band was booked at. How did this happen though? Is this something coming out from podcast to one or is it a boss now and that's the other thing? Pirateship they have no problem not having a guest. They'll often have a show with no guest in it They don't need a fucking dance. What they talk over the guys anyway. Oh that that brings me to something that I think is hilarious I'm reading the description of the end of Coral show on iTunes
Starting point is 00:49:58 I think it might need to be updated a little bit. Mm-hmm. So it says five days a week and completely uncensored Wrong Adam welcomes a wide range of guests to join him in studio for in-depth interviews. Wrong. What in-depth interviews? In-crew it tells guest stories and he's told the listeners 80 times. You haven't you haven't heard this yet. So let me tell you about this thing with Howie Mandel. Even if they have heard before he tells the guest that. And then he says check out as Adam hangs out with some of his pals like Larry Miller. Nope.
Starting point is 00:50:29 No. David Allen Greer. No, you many years. I haven't heard. I haven't heard. Dagen years. Dr. Drew, Dana Gould, Doug Benson. These people are not on his show anymore.
Starting point is 00:50:39 I don't know what they're talking about. I think Doug Benson famously complained about going on the Adam Crowell show and not getting into words, edu-ed-wise. Yeah. I think Doug Benson famously complained about going on the Adam Crowley show and not getting in towards edge wise. Yeah, and I think the other thing is he's definitely hermed his own brand with a lot of his Hollywood buddies because he's gotten so right wing in all of his politics and ranting that I think that people like Dana Gould are like, ah, that's fine, dude. Yeah, I'm good. Well, so this is going back a long ways back in Loveline. He used to have David Allen Greer and David Allen Greer
Starting point is 00:51:09 He's a fucking character man. That guy is funny and he would go off on this stuff and they'd be talking to the colors It was so funny like I remember being in my cubicle with like my fist in my mouth because I was laughing so great hard And then you know as the years went on he started getting them into the Adam Krolley show those early years And he would literally have David Allen Greer who's super talented recreate Bits from the love line days like oh remember when Dr. Drew read off the ingredients and birth control and you pretended They were children's names that you we did that last time you ran to and the time before that let's do that again And I'm gonna read off some shit from Wikipedia and it's like
Starting point is 00:51:47 We've already fucking heard this to the point where dad would get on the air be like we're not doing this again are we at him like it was just fucking not a lot. You know what's the point about that is J more J more love him or hate him. Yeah does a lot of great impressions. Yeah. And every time J more comes on the show there was one time he was funny three years ago, and Adam Crowell, that's the only thing that he wants him to do. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:08 And same thing with Joe Koi. Yeah. Oh yeah. Yeah. For Joe Koi, he's like, really, I have to do this. And he's even said that, like, really, I have to do this again. Yeah. Could you give me a little bit of credit, and I have a comedian, I might have some other
Starting point is 00:52:19 egg girls and bits that we could do. Yeah, yeah. And it's not like it's a boring world. You could open up the newspaper, find something to talk about, I'm sure. All right. Why don't we listen to a fans review of the Adam Corolla show? This is a fan that contributed $10,000
Starting point is 00:52:33 to one of the fundraising things. This is number 28. Oh, we crap, $10,000. Yeah, we're gonna get there. You know, I, it just sort of, I kind of, there was a lot of like, all right, I get it, I've heard that, let's, you know, I'm sort of moving on. I'm, I think, seem to's a lot of like i get it i've heard that let's you know i'm sort of moving on
Starting point is 00:52:47 seem to be a lot of repetition in in the bit really what i don't think anyone else is notice this right right i feel like like saying that is just repetitions but now i'm now i'm guilty of it oh shit i'm super guilty of it because i've been in our fucking out of the box so here's a guy who spent ten grand and the reason he spent ten grand as he wanted to be in the movie so amcola did a movie a couple years ago it was called Road Hard and he crowdfunded it he accepted donations and whatnot from his audience in order to get rewards this is the bottom-minute long this is from a show called Afterpod but this kind of
Starting point is 00:53:20 sums up how the reward thing went this is number number 29. Okay, so first a little background. In March 2013 Adam Crowler launched a fund and a thing crowdfunding campaign to raise the funds to make his second feature film a road hard. That compact campaign raised almost 1.5 million dollars. As a reward full backing the film the donors were offered various packages ranging from a PDF of the screenplay to T-shirts, blue rays of the movie, advanced screenings, etc. Since 2013, though, there have been many reports of the rewards taking almost literally years to arrive, not arriving at all, wrong-sized T-shirts going out, various other issues. Some of these complaints are even aired on recent Adam Corolla shows when fans confronted
Starting point is 00:54:08 Adam at live shows to ask why they hadn't had their dinner with Adam or visited the studio or whatever their rewards were. There was even a claim on Reddit from a guy who paid to be followed on Twitter for a year and he wasn't, which would have been a three second job, so that seems a little bit odd. One of the top end rewards costing $10,000 was the chance to appear in the movie in a speaking role, which brings us to today's guest, Aaron Foster. Now, that could be Sour grapes. This is just from some podcast I found on YouTube.
Starting point is 00:54:41 This could be just somebody completely. Come on, come back up for the shoot. That was a long clip. There's a lot going on. Yeah. I could be just somebody complaining. We back up for a quick, that's a long clip. There's a lot going on there. I'll let you unpack it. Of course. But you paid to be fouled for a year on Twitter? The fuck is that?
Starting point is 00:54:54 I've never heard of such a thing. People do crazy shit, man. Okay. So, now again, this could be bullshit, except I was listening to the Anne Croll Show during this whole time, and just the stuff that he talked about on the air was fucking atrocious. People were getting like plaques and rewards on the shit with the wrong names on them.
Starting point is 00:55:13 Everybody who got a t-shirt got the wrong size t-shirt. People were coming up, he was fulfilling these rewards for years afterwards. People who paid in, it was like 30 bucks or some shit to get an advanced Blu-ray, got the Blu-ray in the mail six months after the movie that they fucking financed was on Netflix. No, wow. So basically, everyone that gave to this fucking thing got completely fucking ripped off and was upset about it and then, you know, look, I never saw the movie, I might be talking about, you know, I might be talking about my ass, but
Starting point is 00:55:44 every review I've read is sad, it's fucking horrible. Everybody I've heard, talk about it says it's not very good. Just everything about this was a fucking train wreck. Yeah, I watched it out in the airplane. Yeah. And when you're out in the airplane, there's not a lot to do. So it had my undivided attention.
Starting point is 00:56:00 And it was not good. Yeah. He tries to shoehorn in this romantic comedy thing that's completely unbelievable. I mean, it wasn't a very good movie. Yeah. Unfortunately. And I think that's why he's gotten into the documentary business. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:13 Because then you don't have to write jokes or... Sure, or act. Sure. ...it makes his life a lot easier. And again, I might be talking about my ass. From what I've heard of the movie, it's the same as his books the same as his live show the same as fucking everything else He does it's just the same fucking jokes Over again, you know what I'm saying? Yes, the dude has he's he's described writing books
Starting point is 00:56:33 He is a guy that listens to his podcast right now whenever he says something funny that he hasn't said before Which actually yeah somebody else write it down for him, but yeah, that's what I'm saying Somebody else listens to down for him, but yeah, that's what I'm saying somebody else listen to the podcast right Down on the 20 and then they turn that and make that into a book So if you've already heard the podcast you've already read the fucking book and you've already seen the movie You don't even have to lift a fucking finger. So the the fun raising thing is really fucking it drives me up a wall Especially for a fucking show that's got you up a lot It's got ten minutes of fucking advertisements in it and we're still now
Starting point is 00:57:07 two weeks ago Carl the Adam Krolley show started a brand new venture to raise money. Okay. This is called Karola for a cause. All right. And I want you to hit number 30 so we can learn about Karola for a cause. Here's the best part. You can pledge any amount you want and 10% is going to charity. That's what we call win-win-win. Thank you. What? 10% is going to charity. You fuck you. Seriously, fuck you if you're listening to this.
Starting point is 00:57:37 If anyone who's out there, if this is your earbuds right now, fuck you. That is the most- What is that? So this is the Patreon. This is the Patreon. You can sign up to support the Adam Krola show and get this car 10% of your money Just go into charity just generic charity just charity nothing specific It's not a system charity is not going to help a specific set of people There's they won't even name a fucking charity. They're gonna give 10% and but a charity with a capital C
Starting point is 00:58:03 On the patreon page, which I think is fucking hilarious. Now I didn't check this in the last couple days but I think it was it was under 20 Patreons when I last luck. Dude even Hillary Clinton would be like wow I think that's a little bit mischievous I don't know if you could do that. Good God dude so listen right now if you're within the sound of my voice get on the w atp patreon that may or not actually exist We're gonna give 11% to charity. No stop it right there. I'm gonna give anything more than 8% to charity That's a rule that I have 10.5 10.5 listen I don't make up the rules. I just write them down and then we abide by them. There you have it so
Starting point is 00:58:42 That's funny you get 10 minutes of commercials now you you can donate to Adam Krola who will then potentially I guess donate to some mystery fucking charity that they won't even tell you about. Dude, I can't fucking take it. I don't know who's listening to the show. I don't it it it it you do know I've listened to the show. Okay, you know what though? I that's ridiculous. I didn't know about this Krola for a cause thing. I guess I'm not listening that closely. I will say that when it comes to monetizing your podcast, nobody double dips more than how did this get made. Are you familiar with that show? Just advancing. Okay, I'm a fan of how
Starting point is 00:59:18 did this get made. But what they do is they do almost all live shows where they charge admission to get in. They do two shows a night so they run in a whole group of people and then they run in the whole another group of people. Okay. They do live reads and commercials. Yeah. And you can donate to the show and they'll say your name on the show. So they're like getting money every single possible way they can get money from it. And I don't know. I know Anne Crowley does live shows from time to time. I don't know if he charges for them or not. He probably does. The one he did in the snack of the woods. He did charge third tickets Okay, but and you know what like if you look it's hard work man. This dude's doing a Podcast every day multiple pockets every day
Starting point is 00:59:55 This is my third podcast ever and I fucking exhausted Yeah, I'm exhausted listening to you. I can't imagine doing a fucking show every day I mean like and that's the thing like the the strength of the show could be that it's a daily show. You can talk about what people are gonna be talking about that day. Oh, something happened to the news, something, you know, well, we're just gonna talk about racing. And also, did you know that Gavin Newsom was once out of the show? Did you do an interview with Gavin Newsom? I knew you fucking get that idea.
Starting point is 01:00:22 And, you know what? Here's the thing of all the shit I got. I never got, like, a clip of him totally misunderstanding something the news right I didn't get a clip of him having Gary Google something cuz Gary's one of the guys that works there and I've Spent fucking hours of my day to be a favor will you Google a picture of so-and-so next to what is not to show it to ball and Brian Give me a picture Suzan Summers from 1970. I, no, not with that haircut, Gary. What the fuck, that's the wrong fucking haircut. Gary, I'm trying to prove a point to ball and Brian about something that no one can see
Starting point is 01:00:51 because this is a podcast and I'm telling you to Google pictures. Yeah, it's insane. So here's what I want to leave you with, Carl. All right, one of the bright spots of the show that I found. Number 31, this is Gina Grant showing off for karaoke skills. Oh my God. I have heard this again.
Starting point is 01:01:07 Burn up dude. Let's fucking enjoy my dance. Let's do it. I'm already mad at you. I hate karaoke. I'm terrified of it. It's the one thing like I refuse to do. Except Gwen Stefani. Can you sound like her? This is all I got ready. I'm back up. Hurry up and hold my hand. We'll get in this way. We'll live in this eternal goal, you bet. It's spot-off. And like these two re-birds, we'll live in this eternal goal, you bet. Fuck it.
Starting point is 01:01:32 Fuck it. Fuck it. Fuck it. Fuck it. What the fuck is going on here? All right. Well, I think you've made your point very well here, Crowley. I think you've done a good job.
Starting point is 01:01:42 I did set it up last week that you would be ranting about the ranter and you have lived up to that expectation. But other than that, I have no feelings on the subject. Okay. All right, I talked about we had some recent reviews of WATP and I want to talk about those real quick. We got our first three-star review and I don't know what to make of this. Wow! Yeah, this is the, uh, of the 61 ratings. This is the first time we've had a three star review. The subject is well. And then the body of it is eh.
Starting point is 01:02:15 So thanks, Derek. That does go to sum it up. I mean, thank you, Derek. I appreciate it. Um, and, and Jen from September 6 gave us a five-star review. So she says it's hilarious, we appreciate that. We'll keep them coming, LOL. All right, this is a good one.
Starting point is 01:02:35 We got also on September 6th, we got this review. I don't need anything is the reviewer. The subject line is shampoo, and the body of it is piss. Wow. So again, just short to the point one star shampoo piss. I like it. All right. And then I have to point, oh, there's another one that is,
Starting point is 01:02:55 oh, this is a great one. So we got a one star review to temper fourth called Crap. Right. And this is the body of the review is ear poison Stop! I love the ones that are short to the point, just ear poison. That's good. This is the one that I'm very excited about.
Starting point is 01:03:15 We got a four star review and it is coming from Mike of our Big Dummouth. The host of the show that we reviewed last week, the review is now the reviewer. Dude, I am telling you, we get so many once our reviews on here from podcasters that we shit on, and they get very buttered about it, and they come on here and they're like, you guys are funny, fuck you.
Starting point is 01:03:39 This guy, I give him a ton of credit. You know, he says, I've listened to a few episodes. They seem like they're having fun and provide some thoughtful criticism on what they're podcast. Now, I think they should rename the show. Who are this podcast based upon listening to one episode? I like it.
Starting point is 01:03:59 That name simply isn't as catchy, that's true. But it is true, aside from the Adam Corolla podcast, we usually listen to one show and then make unfair judgments about it. Overall, good concept for a show. They have solid banter and execute it fairly well. And that's from Mike of the our big dumb mouth podcast OBDM. So huge shout out. I love it when people get it. You know, we're not here trying to change anyone's opinion. We're just trying to have a little bit of fun and fill some time. So the fact that a person that we reviewed would enjoy it and give us four stars. We really appreciate that. And you know what,
Starting point is 01:04:35 Crosier? What's that? We've had a lot of fun today. That we certainly have. I mean, you've had a lot of fun today and I've had fun listening to you have fun. Yeah, I gotta go get my blood pressure medication. But we've now reached that point of the show that is a fan favorite. Is it now? Yeah, do you know what part I'm talking about? I'm on the edge of my C-car. What?
Starting point is 01:04:54 What's that? What's that? What's that? What's that? That's what it's easier. What's that? What's that? Are you familiar with this part of the show, Crouch?
Starting point is 01:05:04 Have you heard this before? Not at all, no, this is brand new to me. Oh, that's? Are you familiar with this part of the show, Crouch? Have you heard this before? Not at all, no, this is brand new to me. Oh, that's odd, because you've been on the show, and I feel like we've talked about it. Anyway, so this is the part of the show where we tease a clip from the podcast that we'll be reviewing next week.
Starting point is 01:05:20 What a concept. Yeah, so blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Anyway, here's the podcast that we'll be listening to in next week's WATP. This is episode 94, Ryan. 94. It's hard to believe this is our 94th anniversary. What? Are we celebrating every week? We that couple, Josh.
Starting point is 01:05:37 I think. Yeah, hey, Vax and I. Hey, Bay. Happy 94th week anniversary. We celebrate by try masters Bax and I were in our 27th try master. Jesus. I'm not doing the math, right? I know what a trymaster is. I mean, I know the word Is it is a trymaster three months? Wow
Starting point is 01:06:04 What pretellers that glorious philosophical wit all right? So next we will be listening to the minimalist podcast We're listening to an episode of August 29th episode of number 94 entitled budget That's what that is are you familiar with the minimalist? I've seen it on the top charts. I know it's a popular podcast. It is a popular podcast That's what it sounds like. They put out a documentary Basically, they don't want you to spend any money and they want you to live without luxury items and they're very proud of themselves now
Starting point is 01:06:35 I'm guessing by the dialogue we just heard High strength marijuana is not a luxury. It sounds like they got plenty of that going around I know they were cracking each other up and that continues to go on and on. I got to save something for next week's episode. Oh boy. Yeah, so the minimalist podcast, I'm excited to listen to this one because it is a very popular podcast. I haven't watched a documentary but between now and next weekend, I'm sure I will. So that'll be a fun one to talk about. Wait, you haven't seen that documentary? I know. That's weird, right? It's so weird. It's a good callback. I appreciate that. I'm going to do something that we haven't done before.
Starting point is 01:07:16 Kroge mentioned being a musician. He and I are both guitarists in a band called The Isotelps. We are a surf band. And I want to let people know that you can pick up The Isotopes' new album entitled The Isotopes Place Surf Music. It's on Spotify and a lot of other places. We encourage people to check it out. I'm going to leave you with the first track off of that album called Jolly Rancheros.
Starting point is 01:07:43 So, Kroch, thanks again for coming in. Thank you so much. It was a good time. Oh, man, you did the heavy lifting and I appreciate that. It's been a while since I've been able to just sit back. And listen to me yell about you. And listen to you yell about it. Since last band practice. So, please, join us again next week because it might be the episode where we find out once and for all. Who are these podcasts?
