Podcast: Play in new window
Show Summary
Adam opens the show talking with Alison about the delay in finding out his audiobook stats, despite asking multiple times.

The guys then talk about Seth MacFarlane’s new movie, the best BBQ joints in Texas, and take listener calls for Tales From The Cheap.
Diane Ladd enters the studio next and chats with the gang about auditioning for Christmas Vacation. Later the guys talk about Diane’s youth in Mississippi and why southern ladies like to chit chat. Alison then starts up the news discussing Villaraigosa’s latest attempts to repeal taxes in California.

By coincidence Adam has the same shirt and hat on for three podcasts straight.
He wants to dress like Leno…1 uniform.
how hard is it to understand that they record multiple podcasts in one day?
They dont crank out a bunch in a day, he just keeps the same button down shirt at the office so he can throw it on when he gets there.
if they did a bunch in one day, the news wouldnt be current
They do sometimes, but not all that often.
Maybe he does more then one podcast a day in the studio.
Great catch, bro.
Am I straight? Because I never notice what shirt Adam’s wearing. Who will Adam yell at when he sees the picture of the “adjustable spud wrench” used to erect steel that someone labeled a “crescent wrench”… that’s right I said erect…
Well I’m straight and I have never once noticed what he’s wearing until these fucking yentas start up about it. So I’d have to say probably, yeah.
And thank you, the whole time I was thinking spud wrench, its called a spud wrench dammit!
It must be good to have more than one thing to do in just one day. Loving the Offerman woodshop hat.
At times they will record several podcasts at once to put a few “in the can” as they say. Or, Adam doesn’t give a f*ck as per usual.
They probably taped them all on the same day.
although he is wearing a different undershirt each time…
It’s called a uniform. Lots of professionals wear them to work.
That shirt is probably a 5 on the hobo scale……
im gay and meet guys at rest stops. even i dont pay attention to if the guy is wearing the same shirt. silly bitch
He has a different undershit on each time so they are different days.
Adam! Dick move caneling your 81 year old dad’s show that costs you really nothing!
goddamn news with Dianne was painfully awkward
No joke. I bet she kept preaching to the crew after recording was over also.
That’s an understatement!
Agreed, i was waiting for someone to tell her to shut up
haha yes it was.
So right. Does Clark Griswold’s mother need to chime in on politics?
Couldnt agree more!
Agreed! She was #1 Point shitter on!
this chick needs an award for hip checking adam in the jaw and rolling with her point.
It’s hilarious when Adam starts with the “okay, mm hmm, okay, mm hmm” AND THE GUEST STILL DOESN’T REALIZE SHE NEEDS TO SHUT UP!
Welcome to the Interruption Olympics! Me, me, me, I, me, I, myself, me, oh and me.
Adam needs to wear a condom over his mood today…..
Good god, man, change your shirt.
Ok, Diane…..you can calm down…..the cameras aren’t on……it’s ok.
Adam LOVES that shirt.
there is 1 crowned champ at this point for bbq (especially brisket) in texas: snow’s.
The news was down right unbearable today with Diane, other than that it was a good podcast today
he does have a different underhsirt on, so we have to give him a break. Lynette must do the laundry each day….
chumbawamba split up today after 30 years???? o whoa is me.
I will bet any amount of cash that Antonio R. Villaraigosa has a higher score on the bar exam than ace retardo COULD EVER GET in his lifetime. He keeps reminding corolla-tards about the 4 time failure attempts, could your retarded king do any better?
I will bet anybody, any amount of cash, that ace retardo would lose, big time.
PS kale sonnen got his a$$ handed to him, again!
Let the FLUFFING commence !
Hey, ass-douche. Chael Sonnen RAPED Silva in the first fight. Anderson was extremely lucky to pull out that win with a last second submission. You also seem to have forgotten that Sonnen won the first of two rounds in this latest fight. I would hardly call that an “ass handing”. Congrats to Anderson, but he has some seriously retarded fanboys (AKA – You)
First of all, ACE FLUFFER, you can’t even speak English. Let’s take your sentence, “He keeps reminding corolla-tards about the 4 time failure attempts, could your retarded king do any better?”
You should say “four failed attempts”, not “4 time failure attempts.” Also, that is a run-on sentence. You should start a new sentence with the word “could.”
So, the fact that you are obviously borderline retarded does not give you licence to call everyone else that. (Maybe you thought it did, as when black people call each other the N-word, but that logic just doesn’t apply to you)
yeah, but does carolla ever sell himself as a lawyer? i’m not sure he does. so what’s your point. if carolla were to compare his knowledge of carpentry with the mayor’s, would that also be a good comparison? i’m thinking you might be the one who needs the helmet my man.
You’re an idiot. Don’t listen if you think it sucks and it’s Chael not Kale.
lol, this woman is Adam’s worst nightmare as a guest
You need to bring back Sammy Hagar to make up for that Diane Ladd trainwreck
Agreed ! Satriani as well….
She would make Ed Asner proud
I wish Diane did not stick around and crack wise
I stopped listening when that quack just started her own tirade.
holy shit, Dianne made me want to jam that pointed crescent wrench into my ear just get her to shut the hell up
Love that “Adam’s on the phone” drop, Brian should play it more…by the way were is that from?
back from his last radio show…
Adam’s old morning radio show.
From 2006 when 72 yr old lady calls in to say her meth addicted daughter is wrecking her life. They find out the mother and daughter are both addicts and they try to send them to treatment. Adam even offers to take care of elizabeth, the old ladies cat.
Diane Ladd has a voice; she probably would be good to fill the hold your dad will leave.
Love how Adam has a guest on yesterday to plug comic books, and proceeds to mock Comic Con today. How come he didn’t bring up to Thomas Jane that comics are for 7-year olds and they’re written by hacks?
Why would he?
Because it would be consistent. Otherwise he just seems like a suck up.
Please, never have Diane on again. I had to turn this one off today because she is so self absorbed. She makes Adam look humble.
Your show may be interesting tomorrow night in Houston – I am a ticket holder and noone contacted me about the venue being moved. So if people don’t listen to your show they are going to show up at the wrong place. Wooppssseee!
Allison has to lose the reflexive, fake laugh
Agreed – that’s T’s act and I don’t miss it
Aceman – DON’T CANCEL YOUR DAD’S SHOW!
Great pod today… solid funny show.
Foosballocaust
Wow; Diane Ladd is a major blowhard
I thought the same thing. I actually turned off the podcast because of her. I hope Adam never invites her back…………..
Steel workers adjustable wrench often called a “spud” wrench
I thought Adam’s mom did a great job on the show.
Adam needs to have Joey Diaz on his podcast. Would make for a great show
No way Adam could keep up w/ him.
The “WHOO???” after Martha Mitchell when Diane was talking made me spit take, hilarious Bald Bryan!
Allison, why you always say 9 continents? Inside joke? There are 7.
Dr. Drew says she went to the greatest college in America; even though that’s part of explaining how it was “impossible” for his kids to get into better schools, you have to assume she’s right; 9 continents.
Surprise, self serious actress is super self serious, does not get sarcasm.
Damn that bitch was annoying!
FYI: The Salt Lick is BYOB.
Salt Lick. Good name for T’s V.
great BBQ at the salt lick
damn that old bitch is crazy
she was a bit obnoxious and didn’t quite get Adam’s sarcasm
“Comic-Con is the gay parade for Geeks” – Adam Carolla
Aceman, your dad is a leech. Good move dumping him. You owe him nothing. Tried to give his show a chance, it was pointless nonsense, and it was harder to listen to than your uncle Lazlo’s tapes.
Yes, nothing to feel bad about Aceman. Your dad is such a fucking leech. I hate mutha fuckas like that. You probably have slightly more emotional baggage to him, but that’s about it. DROP HIS SORRY ASS! The show sucks ass!
LOL
Every time the guest talked about positive feminine energy and whatever-the-hell, I wanted to jam a pencil into my eye.
you mean in your ear?
Oh no – I meant my eye. *sniff*
I hear ya brother
The show sure did come to an abrupt stop, didn’t it? Wow, was that an unfunny last half-hour. And Ms. Ladd, could you name-drop your kid one more time. I don’t think everyone knows who your daughter is yet. “My daughter, Laura Dern….” “Laura Dern, my daughter…..” “I told my daughter, Laura Dern…” Who includes their child’s last name when telling everyone something about their kid?
had to turn this one off. that lady was annoying as hell.
Yeah, I really enjoyed the first part, then I made it through 5 minutes of listeneing to her. I realized she was just going to be irritating the whole time, so I shut it off. I thought it was really funny that right after he complained about interviewers that don’t get how to end conversations, he gets a guest in that doesn’t know when to shut up.
Worst. Guest. Ever.
Typically hypocritical liberal. Adam did well biting his tongue several times…
worst guest ever she kept cutting off everyone.
Very good chops imo
Your opinion sucks!!
Facebook, Google, etc… Those companies have all the amenities for their employees because it is expected that they put in a HUGE number of hours at the office. I know people that are miserable with their standard 12 hour days plus weekend work.
It sounds great when you hear about the toys and the laundry service at work. It’s not so great when you find yourself not at home enough to use your own toys or clean your own laundry.
Yeah Aceman, you were dead logic on this one. Sorry, the reason they are “playing” so much, is they spend 12 hours a day at the office, if not more. You really think they put in 4 hours at desk, and 4 hours playing volley ball, or fencing? Get a brain, dude! Bad call. I’ll stick with my 8 hour a day job, thank you!
Good point.
Tom Jane was on the Podcast yesterday. He’s going to comicon to promote his new comic book.
You should have called Tom Jane a homo-erotic nerd to his face Adam.
“They turn on the water for ya, you turn on the shame.” Nice Bald Bryan! I just washed my car at one of these goddamn things out of habit. Never again…
really enjoyed this show. Dianne Ladd is hilarious, and Adam had a great rapport with her. thanks!
You are brain dead…
He is joking, Ladd ruined the show.
I stopped listening, I’ve only done that one other time, when that giant douche Prager was on.
Gotta say, I liked Diane since how long was it since the guest didn’t get steamrolled by the host over every topic, who already has an hour 1/2 to go off on whatever he wants already. And Diane’s “interruptions” must have never heard ANY live podcast where it’s a free for all interruption/ yell over fest. And Diane actually did things to bring business back to California above yelling on a podcast. Thank you.
FINALLY some Rambling Rose talk on podcast
Old, crazy broads, should be seen and not heard. Why should the American taxpayer be subsidizing Hollywood again? Regular folk are losing their jobs left, right and center and she thinks Hollywood needs more tax breaks for her friends in the biz. Typically out of touch Liberal elite.
Exactly. I’m all for helping those that TRULY need it….but always with the goal being to get them on their feet and off assistance as soon as possible. It is infinitely better in the long run for their self esteem, bank account, and the country as a whole.
It’s not really a liberal thing. It’s a douchebag thing. Or a rich asshole thing. The irony of successful wealthy people who got that way through lots of luck is that they believe they deserve it and should be treated like they are special. While actors, musicians, comedians, etc are talented, the truth is for almost all of them you could find 100 that have the same level of talent and work ethic yet fate didn’t smile down on them and they don’t make it. When you know in your heart that your success is the result of luck as much as or more than your talent or work ethic you fight extra hard when anyone questions whether you’re special.
Come on…give the old lady a break. Great job Adam for respecting someone who has actually been to Washington to make some kind of a difference. Sure..she was annoying….but what 70 year old isn’t.
Yeah well, if I’m that annoying at 70 someone better shoot me when I’m 58. That was ridiculous. She showed zero grace as I heard it…she just wouldn’t stop! Pretty difficult to listen to someone blowing hard like that, old broad or no.
70 year olds who go on podcasts aren’t like the rambling lady on the bus; different standards apply
Hey, does anyone know what happened to Mike August??
Did,nt DonnY leave due to August?
and now we don’t hear his name anymore?
Just wondering…GET IT ON!!! +__+
Adam, don’t cancel your dad’s show.
You’ve certainly made good augments for cancelation, and I agree with them all. Here is my theory – I could be wrong – but, here it goes. I think your dad likes doing the show because it brings him closer to you. That’s all, plain and simple.
You’ve described your family’s long rich history of emotional indifference. Your grandmother spending her last couple Thanksgivings away from your family is…well, a lot of things. Most of all, very sad.
Your dad is 80. How many years does you dad have left? If you cancel his show, you’ll be maintaining the Carola tradition of callousness. Is that the tone you want for your dad’s last years?
Diane Ladd, WHO?????????????????
Once again I shall skip the guest portion of the episode, for about the 5th time in a row.
Someone get Mike August back in line.
I know my last comment wasn’t very persuasive, and in the end, relied on guilt…sorry about that.
I don’t think there’s a clear, black-and-white answer to this issue. However, I am convinced of this Adam. Years from now, after your dad is gone, you – in your heart – will will regret canceling his show. Forgive me for being sappy, but I think it’s true.
Great podcast. Adam is so right about the inefficiency of big government. That’s why the private sector nearly always crushes (in performance) any government endeavor. People are always going to be more prudent, careful, & wiser when spending their own money as opposed to other people’s money.
She had opinions, wasn’t scared to say them but she backed them up calories burned.
Diane Ladd was unbearable, never have this lady on again. Her voice was atrocious, and I was so glad when the next podcast became available. Damn, Ladd was an awful guest.
He could own a bunch of the same shirts. I know I have a shirt I love and considered buying like 30 of them so I didn’t have to contemplate what I am wearing and always wear something I know I like.
I noticed Adam saved Alison the embarrassment of having to say the c-word in front of Ms. Ladd at the end of the show.
She was totally nuts, but I found it entertaining. She’s probably got the record for number of times a guest has had the Oscar music dropped on them.
it’s weird when someone like Diane Ladd goes so strange that there’s no vestige of her having once been sane and doable.
I love southern women.
I do, too. But this lady was batshit, catshit crazy! Please never schedule her again.
The way that Diane Ladd acted on this podcast is the exact same demenour that causes me to not want to visit my grandmother anymore.
SHUT UP OLD LADY! SHUT UP!
Brian really brought his A-game with some of this episode’s drops. He hit the bald out of the park.
These old-school feminists were all over Santa Cruz, Ca. growing up. The worst is when you had to take a college class taught by one and all you heard were these ridiculous tirades how women were “programmed” by some made up “man force”.
Like Adam says – one of the most powerful people in show business is Oprah – black and a woman. I never heard of this lady before this podcast.
What is the deal with this dense bitch?
Maybe Ms. Ladd should have her own podcast, so she won’t have to suffer an interviewer butting in with all those pesky questions.
hemm crooked letta crokked letta iii crooked lettah crooked lettah i crooked lettah i pee pee crooked lettah IIIIIIIIII
the first woman to ragdoll Ace. awsome.
That was……………..AWESOME!!!!! The awkwardness was so thick you could cut it with a knife. You guys have got to get her on the show again! She has all the qualities – more self-absorbed than DAG (although she’s less funny), more irrelevant name-dropping than David Wild (at least David’s are somewhat relevant).
I loved how she was so focused on proving she’s knows shit and has done shit that she couldn’t even notice Adam’s brilliant quips like “I use Tiparillo’s and 20′s”. That’s always a great test to see how far someone is up their own ass.
I knew we were in trouble from the moment she said “M-I-crooked letter, crooked letter, I……..”
Having Dianne Ladd on led to a withdrawal of Cheryl Ladd from the “bank”
got a little behind on the podcast and just heard the Diane Ladd pod and I thought that she was great! She had an honest opinion she played along during live read she was terrific
I have been a devoted Carolla listener for 2 years. But I think I am losing my patience with him.
I hate how he keeps talking so badly about his family. He definityely did not have a poor upraising. I mean, the guy is even giving his dad a damn podcast! And he talks to his family, etc. If hating his family is part of his schtick, then that is one thing. But I doubt that is the case since his persona and his real person seem 75% the same. He should cut the crap out about talking crap about his family.
Why is he cancelling his pop’s podcast? Because he wants to teach him a lesson? Ridiculous! He is passive aggresively giving him a podcast to fail. Carolla should honor his dad and continue to foot the “bill” for him doing the podcast. The man seems like a good guy and maybe a decent dad.
This women is one of the reasons people hate the south. Bitch, stop making it seem like all we do is sip lemonade and gossip on our porch overlooking a slave plantation. I grew up in NC and now live in DC and yeah, the food is different, but even this idiot guest managed to derai Adam’s point. I bet all this woman’s “friends” hit ignore whenever she calls. What a loon.
she IS a loon i tells ya a loooooooooooooooooooooooooon
