Is Bald Bryan rubbing one out on stage? He’s really into Alison’s boots.
Is Bald not wearing pants in that picture?
I was thinking the same thing lolz
He’s wearing pants now?
As far as we know he may never wear pants during a broadcast.
Two words; Hillarious.
oh…my…goodness…dana gould!
GET IT ON !
Boots.
Anyone else find Dana Gould unfunny and annoying?
I always find Dana very funny and entertaining. He brings out the funny in Adam.
No. Dana Gould is comedy gold. He is the Anti-Shek.
Yeah, I’ve never found Dana Gould very entertaining. He’s not very funny and he’s kind of annoying. I don’t understand why everyone seems to love him so much.
Well, jeez…that episode depressed the fuck outta me!
I was enjoying Dana Gould up until the 72 Virgin thing. Then he became perhaps the most annoying guest I’ve ever heard. He need not be doing voice impressions.
I’m probably not the first to post this, but “I hope you step on a Lego” is a common internet “threat” when you’ve wronged someone. It’s the highest form of “You dick!”
Wow, a whole 3 minutes before an insult to Mexicans. What’s wrong with Adam? He’s off his game.
I was listening to old Loveline episodes. The same joke over and over since 1999. I guess that’s just genius.
And yet you’re still listening 13 years later! You must really hate yourself.
Please, no more live podcasts, they are absolutely terrible. Put up an old Loveline or something instead. Good times.
Some live podcasts are alright, but sometimes the audience is just lame. What the hell, don’t they get the jokes? They must know Adam if they came out to see him. Get off your f*ckin hands have another beer and enjoy the damn show! Hell, clap once in while. Who are these damn people who just sit there? It’s like my parents came in out of the rain or something. Next time Ace comes out my way I’ll be the biggest deuchbag fan out there yelling “Get it on, Ace!!”
Went to see the live podcast recently. The crowd was laughing their asses off and really enjoying it. When I heard the recorded version the next day, the crowd was very quiet in the mix. I suppose this is done to prevent the laughter stepping on the conversation going on.
Damn, you people bitch a lot.
When Adam and Alison were talking about Tom Brokaw I decided that Tom is probably ‘losing it’. I watched a few minutes of the Republican Convention – while Tom was a guest on NBC – and he referred to the fact that Paul Ryan wasn’t born until the second year of Ronald Reagan’s first term (1983). Paul Ryan was born in 1970. I suppose he may have been referring to Ron’s term as Governor, but even that would have been 1968. I don’t think that what Tom was referring to!:-(
Jesus Christ how depressing
No shit.
Mr Microphone aired 1986, not the late 70′s. cheers
Actually, Mr. Microphone was out in the early-mid 70′s as well.
“Hey good lookin’ we’ll be back to see you later..” It was definitely the 70′s. I was around 10.
Adam Carolla: It should be noted that Dana, because he is such a good soul, has adopted three girls from china. And each time you make the pilgrimage over there, right?
Dana Gould: Yes, and unlike the great comedian, Woody Allen, I’ve fucked none of them.
Alison Rosen: Yet…
Adam Carolla: Yes, the day is young my friend.
Classic.
Could be construed as a David Bowie reference, “visions of Swastikas in my head”. Bubble gun music — my term, I just made it. Also include “Another one bites the dust” which broke the way for gangster-rap. Angry disco.
How tall is Alison?
Not a fan of the live shows.
LOL, I miss the Mr. Microphone when I was a kid I even tore one apart and
wired it to my Ibanez destroyer to make it wireless to play on my parents
shitty stereo, Ahh…the good old days.
If these shows fund the podcast, they might need to spruce them up a bit. I’d be disappointed paying to watch a subpar podcast.
Dana is the best, but can get a bit anxious and desperate if things arent going well.
Live shows are tough because the entire tone of the show changes, and people end up shouting, and when they talk over each other for a second, they shout over one another.
Still a good episode, though dark. Gould always good.
Thank you.
Sometime you’ve got to let the cap go. Baseball is dumb. It’s neither a team sport nor an individual sport. People wear caps to protest they’re indescript, which is why cops pull them over.
I’m glad that this one didn’t degenerate into a forced Huell Howser impersonation festival like Dana Gould’s appearances often do. Does anyone else find it strange that not just one, but two national headlining comedians (Dana Gould and James Adomian) both frequently appear on comedy podcasts doing an over-the-top impression of someone who is essentially just a local California television personality? It strikes me as bizarre.
Live shows seem to be craving the funny instead of letting it flow
I know these shows are necessary but it is hard to hear the gang have to work the room
and Adam lives by the improv but I can hear him struggling when things go flat fast
-then he has to go digging for a knee jerk or deep cut of his same repertoire
hard to watch and listen too sometimes.
I always count the live show as a half-a-show. I had the day off, so instead of listening on my commute, I decided I’d listen while I got stuff done around the house. When I saw it was a live one, I let out a sound like Huell Howser’s old rock collector guys. Huuuuuuh.
Yeah, great episode. Really liking the live shows.
what is the name of the driving school ace thinks all kids should attend- and he’s said he is sending his kids at 16…? Thanks
Live podcasts are my favorite because Adam is always drunk.
Is that Nat from the Peach Pit of Beverly Hills 90210 at the begining of the Mr Microphone ad?
Love me some Dana Gould. The story about his shitting daughter was gold. Also that “kiss of retarded” bit was great. Got depressing as shit when they started talking about putting down dogs. Sorry to hear about that, Dana. You’re a good guy.
Can’t wait to hear more of him. For as much as Ace gets Shek, Wild, and Bruce on, I really wanna see more Dana Gould. Need some more of them Huell’s Jewels. Carolla’s excited!
maybe i’m alone here, but the live shows usually suck.
The only good thing about live shows are that they normally include a picture of Alison.
Wow, a whole show without a right wing deuchbag rant or mention of how rich he is. Good job Adam.
Ohhhhh poor doggy
Yes I did find Mr Gould annoying today, it seemed like mish mash of 3 people stepping on top of each other trying to make a point, suprised Adam let them get away with it myself
Can’t stand Dana G. I feel like I’m watching a painful improv and I think Adam tries unnecessarily way too hard during these live shows. And am I the only one who’s hearing Adam’s fake laugh during these shows…oh the pain.
This is quite possibly the best podcast episode i have ever listened to.
This was one of the funniest shows in the history of podcasting. Forget Kevin Smith, Ace should put together a TV show with DG. Absolutely outstanding. Thank you.
Adam, that’s insane. My kids get $1 per tooth. They also have a list of chores. My youngest is 6, the same age as your twins. It’s not a sick fucked up era… most of the rest of us are dealing with a recession. You are in a little bubble.
