Episode Date: June 3, 2018

We are off this week but looking forward to addressing many of the comments about Opie Radio next weekend. In the meantime, here's one of our most popular shows to date. Cros shows up to do the heavy lifting while we review one of the most popular podcasts of all time. And by all time we mean since 2009. It's not that impressive. Karl is a fan of the pod, Cros used to be a fan but stopped for many reasons that will become evident quickly and then slowly. After an exhaustive review of the show they play a new track from their band the Isotopes - www.theisotopes.com.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

What up bag slappers! What a week! Apparently there are a lot of people who don't care for that OAPI character, huh? Who knew? We picked a bad week to not do a new show. I have a lot to get to, a lot of comments to address, but I'll be traveling this weekend to Columbus, Ohio, and as it turns out, I'm traveling there to not see no effects. Anyway, we're going to hold you over with a show that I did with our friend, Krozier back in September of 2017. It's one of our most popular podcasts to date. We discuss the Adam Kurola show. Oh, and for those of you who tweeted that we have no business critiquing OPI? Fuck you! It's show time. Set the wind and not Company think there's really just a handful that don't suck That's where we come in

Hello and welcome to another episode of Who Are These Podcasts. We listen to podcasts so that you don't have to. I'm your host, Carl.

With me today, back once again, our friend, Kroge. Welcome Kroge. Good 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 WhoAreThesePod. If you like what you hear, don't forget to give us a positive five-star review on iTunes. 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

hmm later in the show. But first today we'll be reviewing a podcast called The Adam Corolla Show. Croj and I both listen to the show a lot. We have not discussed it with each other beforehand. Let's get into it. Croj, 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 Crowley show, I guess. I found that out in the last couple of days. Oh, okay, so we picked this show because I'm an avid listener. You got me into the show in the first place many years ago.

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, Lafer Ass is 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. Adam Corell 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. It starts off with two guys and lapel mics at 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 of the show. Anyway, about last summer, my god, I heard everything I could fucking hear from Adam Corolla, and I went from like looking forward to the show and spending 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. Do they were talking about the same shit So I'm talking about last fucking summer. Okay. Oh my god. I was wondering if you were going to grab clips from old shows. We didn't specify usually on WATP we pick a specific episode to review from a podcast and of course, Adam Krohl comes out every day And he's got thousands of shows So I was 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 gonna Pull from more recent episodes. So you pulled from this week? Yeah, just the last week or so. Okay, so I've still listened to Adam Kurola regularly. I still like the show, but I feel ya.

I pulled a couple of ISOs to illustrate this point, things like this. And I'm a broken record over here. Yep. And also, this is a fun ISO for Adam Kurola. And I've told you the story before Carl But let me launch into a six and a half minute fucking tie rate about some about some traffic situation I encountered six and a half years ago

So did you happen to listen to you? He did a podcast from his other warehouse and of course a very rich man He's got a huge warehouse where he does a show and another one where he has all of his cars and Makes his documentaries and makes his documentaries and all that stuff. He had a show from his other warehouse where they were watching the Floyd Mayweather kind of a grugger fight. Did you hear that? I saw that the feed and I avoided 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 Which is great. I mean at least he acknowledges that But so you know the other guy on the show is 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 Right sometimes like I'm never a live in that. I met I grounded 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 we'll listen for between 20 minutes and 35 minutes at a time. They don't hear the whole show. I remember when Howard Stern went up the air in Rochester, you started burning me the episodes.

You know, because they were empty three somewhere, 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 then of course, it's just, if something's tough. If something big comes up in the news, you wanna make sure you mention the seven o'clock hour and you wanna make sure you mention the eight o'clock hour, and it goes on and on like that. So I think Adam Kroa 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 don't every 15 minutes, you know, and say, well, I'm sitting here talking to Carl from the WATP podcast. Like, you wouldn't an AMA TV. If you just jill it us. Yeah, exactly. So here's the thing that kills me about Adam Corolla. He's a very good broadcaster, but he does, the Adam Corolla show, five days a week.

He does A-S on the House. He does Carcast, 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 five days a week now. No, no, Jesus. So he's put now like 15 podcasts every single week. Oh yeah. And most of them are an hour plus where it's just him talking. Oh yeah.

Like there's formats to these shows. Of course. 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 Kumia 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, and I love Anthony Kumia, 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 shit for two hours. Like Jesus Christ, don't do that. It's not good. This may be out there for an analogy. 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 cop 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. So they don't fucking prepare at all. Right. And I guarantee that's what's going on here. He waltz is and he is no idea where he's gonna talk about it. 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 day before that. And I I'm a broken record over here. Precisely. And that'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 what I was telling Garagas the other day. It's like, yes, I do know. Yeah, you're telling the other show. And some of those other people, like he's with Dr. Drew, who's just a fucking beaten, beaten man at this point. Yeah, I can't listen to that show anymore. I stopped listening to Adam and Drew show Because it was just Adam Corolla

belittling Dr. Deroom. Oh my god for an hour at a time over just fucking nonsense. So back to the back of 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 ball Brad. He's great at the Clips the sound 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 very much a Robin Quiver 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 that I got, let's listen to Gina adding to the show. I had a crush on this girl. She's a whistleblower, I assume. Mm-hmm. I wish she'd blown more than a whistle. That's not her height. Okay.

That was Gina Caclis in the background. That's just Caclis in the background. All right. Well 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, in full glaze and ceramic on a plate. That's not glaze. Shale of Rhymerness. Okay. Could you imagine sitting around a table with someone

who fucking laughed like that? Well, here's the thing with Gina Grad. A couple of things that I want to point out. 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 Alison Rosen was fired. Yeah. And the reasons that Adam Krullegay for Alison Rosen getting fired, I think is the reason why Gina Grad sucks so bad. Yes. Oh, because he's like, I don't like Alison 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. 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. That's going around me all the time. And speaking of that, here's number three, here's Gina trying to make a point. And in the movie, there's a big Vegas tournament. Do they, do they ever do that in Vegas? A big armrest? Yeah.

Yeah, they have that. I'm just like show. Yeah, they have that. Oh my God. Oh, is this a microphone in front of us? Yeah. Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God. Is a microphone in my phone 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 front of us. Oh, it's in Can't String, whatever. All right. And I swear to God, I'm done picking on Gina after this one. Wait, look, 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 with Sylvester Stullot. 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. Because Anna Crowe talks about Cobra all the time, and that's an old semester salon movie that he's in love with. So now she's part of the club because she likes over the top. And apparently in her world,

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 and moving on. 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 out of rotten 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's six eight inches open that means enter at your own risk.

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, literally, about the bathroom door. When I used to listen all those years ago, that was one of the things that drove me fucking crazy. It's a door is closed. I'm using the door is open. 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 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 a story before but thank you so much so let's get into some of the content of the item

course now I got a I got a a three clip package here okay great now your instinct is gonna be to play clips over this and try to make it funny but I think that we should present to our audience at w a t p how to make 30 seconds into a fucking attorney. Go ahead and hit number five for me. Okay, so you're telling me not to play drops over this. Let's just let's just let's just let's really take a moment to let the second. This is Thursday 10 in the morning. Just take the car out. Just take the car out. It's a core van to one minus 100 miles an hour. So that's how fast everyone was going. So it's a fast the race car's we're going in the car.

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 and goes, it's a podcast, douche. So, oh boy. 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 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 dropped it down to 30 some seconds. Here's number seven. The guy 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 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 you know the fucking thing So as we're going on, so we already talked about trying to take a shed at the racetrack. We talked about driving on the fucking racetrack. Now let's get into clip eight where he talks and this is another long one I apologize, but this is like, this is a door. This is an open door into the psyche of Adam Crowell.

So then we sit down at the quail and turns out the guy we're 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 to him and he says, I've been an automotive journalist for 30 years and I said, okay. And then Matt, who's kind of the salesman in the group, he said, have you seen the 24-hour war or documentary on Le Mans? He said, no, I haven't got that one.

And then he said, have you seen the Paul Newman raising that comment? 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. Like when you watch those car videos and stuff, it's grainy, it's bad. It's, it's enough porn is a higher quality and better produce and better acted.

And for some reason, the guy who does this for a living had never trickled 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 Noah had never heard of either one. What's amazing? It is insane. It is up your alley.

It 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 for the listeners at home. Dude, and Krillin 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 Personally offended when people have a city shitty documentaries. It's 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 got a guy the other day who likes CDs Uh-huh 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 What an asshole fucking believe it all right? So this goes on for like six seven minutes I can't believe these people never heard of my shitty movie that you can't even fucking get anywhere. Well, Crosh, 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 a different. I wish I had a pencil just to break. All right, you know what?

I should keep one. You know what I'm gonna let me see it. I'm gonna tuck it between my ass cheeks. And Vinnie's gonna coach me up. So I can just, and over, what's that snapping sound? Nothing, I'll just keep a pencil. So when I 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 in some of the shots. I haven't caught that. That would be it. It's weird, right? It's so weird. It's not for me.

It's so weird. So Adam Kruel goes to a racetrack. And this is, he's talking about, I cut out all the context, 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 racetrack just asking everyone he comes in contact to, hey did you see my documentaries? Hey do you see my documentaries? Hey I mean I'll be with that car if you ever see it. I don't even think he's doing that. I think he assumes everyone there is a

raven Adam Kroha fan who have watched his documentary is on a loop 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's spent years on that nonsense. And of course, everyone knows about how could they not? It's, I mean, 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? I talk to people all the time, and I fucking haven't seen anything. They say, who gives a fuck? So let's step outside Adam Crowell to show for just a minute

and go to the Adam and Drew show. I got two clips, AES, one and two. This is also from this week, and I think this is just to shine a light on some of the other projects that the ace man has going All right, ADS one here you go at Pebble Beach and I'll sit around eating lunch and I'm sharing a table with a guy Automotive journalist of 30 years Tom shales. Mm-hmm. No Tom shales, No. Tom Shales. And I said, Tom Sleck. 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 and I said, oh, what's the name of that? I was just waiting the race and I'd pull it. Oh, okay.

That's pretty telly. He started gonna talk to you about stuff for whatever. He's not a listener. He's an a-korela. No, no, no, no. So I pop on the Annerd Roushsau. 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 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. Okay. This is the first 30 seconds of the fucking show. All right. 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 and it's like they haven't even heard of it, which is insane because somebody, I guarantee, you know what I said though? 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

It's got shitty reviews and no one fucking cares and you know what 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 and what 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 can only imagine. 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 then he did that race, and then here's a clip from this car that he drove in, and then, you know, two hours later, you can't get that time back in your life, and it's over, and I'm like, okay, now I understand. I am not gonna be watching any more documentaries for Mr. Crowley.

Yeah, and then it's, yeah, he spends fucking hours of his life across multiple podcasts. Just fucking, it's so weird that no one's fucking seeing my documentary. All right, I wanna 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, it used to be Corolla digital. He's now on Podcast One. 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. So they're 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. 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 wanna just do Blue Apron.

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. And there are certain ads that run during the end of the Corolla show that I get physically ill listening to. They're 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.

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 that even on terrestrial radio would stand out like a sore thumb. Okay Kevin for the grand prize of one million dollars. What color is the White House? 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. Don't know what congratulations! You're a winner!

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 going to play a few more of them is that they're 30 seconds. Yeah.

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 going to Geico I'm poof. You know, that that was one of my questions because the show begins with two minutes of advertising. There's two minutes of ads at the end. There's several live reads and pre-recorded commercial breaks. A lot of the show. A lot of tons 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 and they can't get over to the skip button. Okay, this one is another guy co-spot that is so cringenducing.

It's so poorly acted and cheesy and unrelatable. Daddy, where do babies come from? Well, honey! Mommy went to the store. Oh, well, you see, um, well, there's a mommy and a daddy, right? Right. 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, I Well, I mean, I close 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 makes him feel we happy. Yeah. That's a noble conversation I had with a toddler. Um, alright, here's another one. And this one is terrible because it's a fucking sight gag. How this got approved. This is this one. Okay, keep your eyes closed.

Okay. I want to show you my first ever painting. Alright. Okay. Open your eyes. Oh my first ever painting. All right. Okay. Open your eyes. Oh, that's a life 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? Hilarious. Oh boy. So in other words, I guess this painting isn't very good. I'm crushed. 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 going to 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 as a giant pet peeve of mine personally. This is the last one I'm going to play for you. Again, the 30 seconds. If you want to skip it, just hit the 30 second ahead button starting. You're listening to Love Advice with Leanne. Collar, you're on the air. Hi, Leanne. Call her, you're on the air. Uh, highly Ann, long time listener, first time caller.

Why in your professional opinion, do you never take my calls off the air? Is this Carl? Yep, it's Carl. I mean, we had a few dates, everything was great, I thought. Uh, 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 switched to Geico, you could save a lot of money on car insurance. Okay, awesome. You should call them. I will.

Geico. Um, 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 alert. Oh, fuck this guy. I won't say you're doing some great work on this podcast to reclaim the good name Carl. Thank you, Josh. I do what I can All right, that's that was my rant on Geico. There's a shit ton of commercials during Adam Corolla show and

The Geico commercials need to stop they actually play So you had mentioned there's a bed in the beginning a bed in the middle a bed at the end They play that same Geicoot 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 one, 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? Does he have a family? You know what? He never thinks about his family as he's going to tell you in clip number 10. Does he? Does he have?

Cause I don't know if he even has parents. Does he talk about them? Well, he doesn't think about him. 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 Best Settlers. I don't think about my family ever ever 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 I've been on brain'm not saying I blocked them out. 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 Times of a Solar List and 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 he talks about his parents oh show every fucking show now Here he's gonna on track 11 he's gonna introduce a guest named Mark Garagos. Okay, so let's see how this goes alright I'm I am attracted to Mark Garagos

I Mean I'm 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, like, hey, I'm thinking about renting out my other house because I can afford a new one, and I'll get the income though, go, well, what if a bunch of bikers move into cook math?

Like, don't do it. Everything's like, don't do it. It's a bummer. It's never going to work. Good trap. And Mark Garagas is so positive that I'm actually attracted to his positivity. This is him trying to introduce someone to the audience. So I like this guy, he's got a shit head, like my family.

If I told you my family's about to shit. Yeah, so Carl, my friend Chris is coming over. You're really gonna like Chris. 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. I did never went to one of my games And I was such a good football player and he was right across this street

He never showed how many times he brought that 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 going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to going for infinity like I can keep saying yes and you can keep asking it. Are you crazy? Are you the first? Yes. So now I know you've heard the story 50,000 fucking times. As have I. Yes. His wife sometimes adds some H.F.E. the dog and then says, and you've had him. 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? Well, let's say, well, honey, I just said that I I did you don't have to ask me or something I mean there is fucking 10 million decent ways to handle that situation. No, is it that's how it's going down It's 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 and there he has to go back because he's not a lot of fun to hang out with. He tells these stories all the time. They go to Vegas because he's got a gig there and he brings the family. 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 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 he doesn't come out and say it, but it's very obvious because he talks 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 all doing this fun stuff without me. It's like yeah, there's probably a reason for that You're insufferable. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I do like Adam Crowley. I like the show There you go. Well, and this is thing is you know what 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 I'm so in life when Lynette says to me Where's the rubbing compound? I want to take the scuff out of the jack. I immediately go what? But huh? No. No. No. What's going on? What's going on? That's this how I'm wired Okay, so his wife Lynette had a scoff in the Jaguar. He suggested she get some rubbing compound, but she didn't. 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. 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 to Mike. Okay. All right, let's see, we've got a call up here. Mike, 50 Chicago. Mike. Yeah. Hi, Adam. How are you doing? Hold on. So one's calling. So one's roof is leaking. Hold on a second from Houston. Steven. Sorry, Mike.

That's all right. We'll get back to him. Hang on, Mike. Yeah. 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 Men to get better clothes. All right. You gotta be fun. Give me all right Where's the talk Mike? 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. Alright, let's hop up and take one more call. Mike 50 Chicago. Hi Adam. You told the story in 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 Creighton is on the phone for a fuckin' hour. Waiting to get into the ace-man show. He gets picked up on, oh, we're not gonna talk to you. Just, hey, hang on, Mike. Then he takes another call. Hang on, Mike. We're gonna read a fuckin' ad. Then Mike finally gets through and what does Mike have to say?

Hey, Adam. Could you retell a fuckin' story that you've already told 50 times about your dad? And that's what he was on the fucking fall 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. They don't need to hear it. So, so this, so this is the question that Mike asks, and this leads to, because I did did time it and 11 minute answer.

The course it does. 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, his dad's a trumpet player and he's like if it Thanksgiving He started pretending to play the trumpet so tell that story again, so Ann Crowell 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. 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. 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 my life. I never even have that. They don't ask. i go talk to congress i don't talk to you i i don't know whether you're my parents no or have known so when lanette says to me where's the rubbing coke and i want to take the stuff out of the jack i immediately go blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, it is. Why don't we fire up some music, some like jazz music, and I'll scan. What the heck? It's just like sitting there going, shoo-b-dap-ba-da-ba-ba-da. Really, it's the worst of all worlds. Am Mike, that that that's satisfying. You're at the top.

You love it. 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. 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. Mike hate Mike. You're a fucking creep. Mike, go to hell. Yeah. Thank you. You go to hell and you dad. All right. That was the Mike 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 i'd see these commercial bill like high i'm sure a crow you know a lot of the music programs in high schools in junior highs we need your help it turns out people that play the viola or three times more likely to hold down jobs or whatever and it's like

what about jobs for four people who need to learn pipe fitting and plumbing and elect of being electricians like how and and I 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 Kroll a king of the fucking straw man dude people are yelling at me people are you out all right People are yelling at me. 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 Adam Kerala feels that there should be more vocational types of education. Well, and that should be stress more. No, but that's not what he says. Oh, okay. What he says is, if you think that there are music,

that music classes are important 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 We were this fired up this early in the morning. I've glad we're doing the Adam Carole show fine. This is good. Oh my god We'll do like that and he's been to been 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 brain you must fucking hate training kids for plumbing

or electricians. Now I know a couple musicians and I will say the musicians fucking hate plumbers. I mean that's just it's an old stereotype. I know it's an old joke. We all been 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 Crowe would have been making commercials. Right. And that's basically the fucking take you get out of it. We got a brand new segment in the middle of the show. This was new to me. I was very excited. Oh, it's a Dave Damage check. Good sports segment. This is called Good Sports. Yeah, I like Sheki. I have a fat of Dave Damage check. I got a big soft spot on my heart for Dave Damage check. 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 theme, and then we go back to the outer podcast, it's a dream within a dream. So let's listen to them talk sports.

This is number 15, this is the heart of the good sport 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 don't know, but one of my favorite jokes, and this will be, uh, what we'll end the, uh, segment with. I talked about sports at all. I wrote a joke for Jimmy Kimmel, which I knew he'd never used for the, uh, not familiar with that name for the, for the Oscars, where he, there was one part where he's going to

talk to Mel Gibson and Mel Gibson. It just had another kid. And it was like a thing where it's like, 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. You know, it was you can scream it. And I thought that'd be a great obscure joke that Jimmy will never, will never tell. And he didn't use it. No. Ace, let's round it out here. All right.

There's a little bit of fun, David. 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 joke. It wasn't his best. And it wasn't his best. Now, but think about, let's think about the context here.

I was writing jokes for the Oscars. 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 because 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? And what 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? 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 right at a pretty funny Update to that don't do at him crow'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 Shad about yourself everybody. Well, so hit number 16. This is a closing theme to the guy's 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 life I like the good sports music It's it's not and it's fun. It's stuff and it's distracting. It's like... I just fucking heard this. Now when there's this fucking song with his awful vocal, now we're gonna fucking go back to it. What do you mean it's distracting?

What else are you doing? I'm trying to pick up valuable information of Adam's childhood in the late seventies in North Hollywood. Good point. Now sometimes, Adam Krolla has gats in the studio. One of his favorite gats is a guy named Vinny Torterich. Correct. Vinny is a special special guy. So right off the bat, number 20 I think he explains 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 clips. Could I give you a little bit of background? I fucking shit. I'm video-torturist. Please please please please He is a nutritionist and I guess trainer He works with a lot of celebrities as big claim to famous these how he man Dallas. Oh, we'll get there in my friend. Oh, well Grenade. So that that's how they got Connected new traditions. Oh, well, so that that's how they got connected. But Vinnie's had some amazing shit happened to him in his life. If you play number 21, 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. Mick Jagger.

Who's Mick Jagger in that movie? No, Mick Jagger was in another movie. No, it's a little hard about. I'm not talking about something. No, no. 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 tried 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? No, 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, Connor. Please. Brings you. Wow. Oh, good stuff. All right. That is good shit. Getting back to it. That does make me joy in 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, you agree. 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 called stone fruit. It's fruit with stones in the middle.

On number 23, Vinnie tells us about this. Papaya, pineapple, right? Yeah, there's things that deserve. You'll never doesn't know that from a piece of cake, right? You know, you'll never doesn't go away in a minute. He gave me a banana, a banana can't be bad for you. No, you'll never see it. You'll never as the perfect meritocracy is going to 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. Carl, you just I mean, 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 digested crack. If you base your entire fucking diet over what your liver is into, you're fucked. As you mentioned, I actually hate my liver so.

Yeah, well, you got enough of an ounce. It's pretty large.'s getting pretty large so good point Vinnie was how he mandel's guy. Yeah, he met Adam Coroll through how he manned down right if you hit number 24 We're gonna 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 back me up that how he 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 it number 25, it number 25 right now. I just couldn't I was I was

flummoxed that he and I've told this story before but Right that 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 how he Mandel eats fucking popcorn even though he thinks he's a germaphob Now hit 20 sex and what I want you to listen to in this one, listen to the two cast members back him up on number 26. The popcorn is handful, hand in the mouth, and then multiple handfuls. So he gets one year right, one year from two people who have heard this thousands of fucking times dude, it's fucking maddening.

I can't even fucking imagine who was listening to the show or getting any entertainment out of it. 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'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. 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 going to do this podcast. He had a band that covers a band that used to be famous. And they were his guests in studio. A blank 180 to tribute band called Blink 180 true. Well, the wallflowers, what the fuck is going on here?

The wallflowers cover band was booked that. Oh, okay. They have to be excited. How did this happen though? Is this something coming out from podcast one or earlier? It's either boss now. And that's the other thing. The pirate ship.

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 guest. They don't need it. But they talk over the guys anyway. Oh, that brings me to something that I think is hilarious. I'm reading the description of the end of the show on iTunes.

I think it might need to be updated a little bit. So it says, five days a week and completely unsensored, wrong. Adam welcomes a wide range of guests to join him in studio for in-depth interviews. What in-depth interviews? Adam Corral tells guest stories and he's told the listeners 80 times.

Yes, thank you. You haven't heard this yet. So let me tell you about this thing with Howie Mand down Even if they have heard it before he tells the guest that And then he says check out his Adam hangs out with some of his pals like Larry Miller. No, no David Alan Greer Now you many I haven't heard dag in years Dr. Drew Dana Gould Doug Benson These people are not I do show anymore. I don't know what they're talking about I think Doug Benson famously complained about going on the Adam show anymore. I don't know what they're talking about.

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 harmed his own brand with a lot of his Hollywood buddies because he's got so right wing in all of his politics and ranting that I think that people like Dana Gould are like I that's fine dude. Yeah, I'm good. Well, so This is going back a long ways back in love line

He used to have David Allen Greer and David Allen Greer is the best. He's a fucking character man That guy is funny and he would go off on this stuff and they'd be talking to cars It was so funny like I remember being in my cubicle with like my fist in my mouth because I was laughing so hard And then you know as the years went on he started getting them into the Adam Kroelish O those early years 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 Krolo 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 of 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 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 No, what's complaining about that is J more J more Love him or hate him. Yeah, does a lot of great impressions. Yeah, yeah. And every time Jay Moore comes on the show, there was one time he was funny three years ago, and Adam Crowley, that's the only thing that he wants him to do.

Yeah. And same thing with Joe Koi. Yeah, oh yeah, yeah. Poor Joe Koi. He's like, really, I have to do this. And he's even sent that, like, really out of it to do this again. Yeah. Could you give me a little bit of credit

and I have a comedian I might have some other egg rolls and bits that we can 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 Crowley show?

This is a fan that contributed $10,000 to one of the fundraising things. This is number 28. Holy crap. 10,000. Yeah. We're going to get there. You know, I, I, it just sort of, I kind of, there was a lot of like, all right, I get it. I've heard that. I'm, let's,

you know, I'm sort of moving on. It seemed to be a lot of repetition in the bit. So really, I don't think anyone else has noticed this. Right. Right. I feel like, like, just saying that is just repetitions. Now I'm, now I'm guilty of it. Oh, shit. Yeah, super guilty of it. Because I've fed an hour fucking. Yeah of it. Could I spend an hour fucking the hour? So here's a guy who spent 10 grand and the reason he spent 10 grand is 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 sums up how the reward thing went. This is number 29. Okay, so first a little background. In March 2013, Adam Kroler launched a Fund and a Thing Crowdfunding campaign to raise the funds to make his second feature film Road Hard. That campaign raised almost $1.5 million. As a reward for 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, et cetera, et cetera. 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 were even aired on recent Adam Corolla shows when fans confronted 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 this could be just somebody complete We back up. I was like that's a long clip. There's a lot going on. Yeah, I'll let you unpack it of course, but You paid to be fouled for a year on Twitter. What the fuck is that? 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 ad and Krolley 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 and shit with the wrong names on them. 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 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 never saw the movie, I might be talking about my ass but every review I've read

is sad, it's 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 on the airplane. Yeah. And when you're on an airplane, there's not a lot to do. So it had my undivided attention. 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. Because then you don't have to write jokes or story arc or act. It makes his life a lot easier. And from, and again, I might be talking about this. 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? The dude has, he's described writing books.

He is a guy that lists his newest podcast, writes down whenever he says something funny that he hasn't said before, which I've been in a lot of... Actually, yeah. Actually, yeah. somebody else write it down for him but yeah preside that's what I'm saying somebody else listen to the podcast right down to the funny 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 bucket finger so the the

fundraising thing is really fucking it tries me up a wall especially for a a fucking show that's got it's got you up a lot. It's got 10 minutes of fucking advertisements in it and we're still now two weeks ago Carl the Adam Corolla show started a brand new venture to raise money. Okay this is called Corolla for a cause. All right and I want you to hit number 30 so we can learn about Corolla for a cause. Here and I want you to hit number 30 so we can learn about Corolla 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 You what fuck you Fuck you

Seriously fuck you if you're listening to this anyone who's out there if you if this is your earbuds right now Fuck you that is the most So this is a patreon. This is a patreon you can sign up to support the Adam Krola show and get this car 10% of your money Just going to cherish just generic charity. Just charity. It's not a specific Charity is not going to help a specific set of people. They won't even name a fucking charity. They're going to give 10% and put a charity with a capital C 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 under 20 Patreons when I last looked. 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 WATP Patreon that may or may 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 That's funny. You get 10 minutes to commercials now you can donate to Adam Krola who will then potentially I guess donate does a 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 You do know I've listened to the show. Okay. You know what though, that's ridiculous.

I didn't know about this curl 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 amazing. Okay, I'm a fan of how 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. 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 that they can get money from it. And I don't know, I know Adam Crowley's 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 podcasts every day. Multiple every day. This is my third podcast ever. And I fucking exhaust it. Okay. Yeah, I'm exhausted listening to you. I can't imagine doing a fucking lot every day. This is my third podcast ever and I fucking exhausted. Okay. 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 news something You know, well, we're just gonna talk about racing and also do you know the Gavin Newsom was once out of the show And you did an interview with Gavin Newsom? Fuckin' get that dude. 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 to news.

Right. I didn't get a clip of him having Gary Google something because Gary is one of the guys that works there and I've spent fucking hours of my life. Gary, do me a favor. Will you Google a picture of so-and-so next to what? Yeah. Yeah. To show it to ballad Brian Give me pictures Suzanne Somers from 1979. No not with that haircut Gary

That's the wrong fucking haircut Gary. I'm trying to prove a point to ballad Brian about something that no one could see 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. Alright. One of the bright spots of the show that I found. Number 31, this is Gina Grant showing off her karaoke skills. Oh my God. I have heard this. Craig, turn it up. Let's fucking enjoy my show. 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. Alright, I'm back up. Hurry up and hold my tail and we'll get in this video. We're gonna live in this A dental call you back. This is spot on. And like these two re-barned evil messages. A dental call you back. Bucket. Bucket. Bucket. Bucket. Bucket. Bucket. Bucket.

Take it. Do 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 made your point very well here, Crowley. I think you've done a good job. 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. Yeah, this is the 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. So thanks Derek. That does go to sell it up. I mean, thank you, Derek. I appreciate it. 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. We got also September 6. 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. Oh, this is a great one. So we got a one star review on September 4th

called crap. Right. And So we got a one star review to temper fourth called crap. Right. And this is the 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.

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 ones that 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. This guy, I get 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 one of their podcasts. Now, I think they should rename the show. Who are this podcast based upon listening to one episode? I like it. 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. Of course. Overall, good concept for a show. They have solid banter and execute it fairly well. And that's from Mike of the R Big Dummouth podcast, Obedeum. 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, 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. Oh, Jesus. Oh, Jesus. Oh, Jesus. Oh, Jesus. Jesus. Jesus. Jesus. Jesus. what it is. That's what it is. That's what it is. That's what it is.

That's what it is. That's what it is. Are you familiar with this part of the show, Crudge? Have you heard this before? Not at all, no. This is brand new to me. Oh, that's hot because you've been on the show, and I feel like we've talked about it. No, I might have been.

So this is the part of the show where we tease a clip from the podcast that we'll be reviewing next week. What a concept. Yeah, so blah, blah, blah, blah. Anyway, here's the the podcast It will be listening to you in next week's w a tp This is episode 94 Ryan 94 it's hard to believe this is our 94th anniversary

What? We celebrating every week With that couple Josh I think Yeah, hey, he's back tonight. Happy 94th week anniversary. We celebrate by try masters. Max and I were in our 27th try master. Jesus. I'm not doing the math right. I know what a try master is. I mean, I know the word. Is it a trimester three months? Wow. What pretellers that glorious philosophical wit?

Alright, so next we're going to be listening to the Minimalists Podcast. We're listening to an episode of August 29th, episode of 94 entitled Budget. That's what that is. Are you familiar with the Minimalists? I've seen it on the top charts. I know it's a popular podcast. It is a popular podcast. 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, I'm guessing by the dialogue we just heard, I strengthen marijuana's, a luxury item. It sounds like they got plenty of that going around. No, they were cracking each other up. And that continues to go on and on, but I gotta save something for next week's episode.

Yeah, 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 the 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 gonna do something that we haven't

done before. 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 Isotelps new album entitled The Isotelps 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. So, Kroch, thanks again for coming in. Thank you so much. This is 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?
