adam and drew argue a lot on this
Hahah. The second to last caller is a young Mormon male that masturbates but then “pinches it off” so that nothing comes out because he is worried about his parents finding out. Adam starts to tell a joke, but Drew interrupts him. This causes Adam to rant for a bit. Finally Adam gets a chance to tell the joke. It’s funny and everyone laughts. Then, Tara asks via Anderson “Is that a true story?”
KROMMMMMMMMMMM!
Krom kinda rules.
Adam equates the emotional toll abortion takes on women to how it would feel for a man to be allowed to hold the Stanley Cup for a couple minutes and then have it ripped away from him. lol.
Jesus, apparently peanut allergies are pretty serious business. Adam talks throughout the show about how airlines are pussies because they won’t serve any peanuts on a flight if just one person calls in and says they have a peanut allergy. He’s pissed that it’s not enough that the person with the allergy acts responsibly and doesn’t eat peanuts, but the ENTIRE flight must suffer because of his bullshit affliction. But a woman calls in around the 38 minute mark to challenge him. Her son almost died because of his peanut allergy. All that happened was a teacher gave out Reese’s candy to the students on Halloween in the class right before her son’s class, and when he walked into the room, just the remnants of peanut dust in the air was enough to make his windpipe close up. He can’t go into the grocery store, the circus, a baseball game, etc. Drew asks if Dodger’s Stadium should stop serving peanuts if he goes to a game. lol. She says he’s going off to college in the fall and won’t ever be able to go into the dining hall. Drew asks what school and she gets really defensive and incredulously says “I don’t want to reveal the name of the school, what if they’re listening?” I’m not sure what she’s afraid of. As if the Dean is listening to Loveline and will pinpoint exactly who she and her son are and start a plot to put peanuts in his food.
My brother had a horrible peanut allergy as well, he couldn’t be around them but if they were he got out of dodge and didn’t complain. I was so scared my whole life for him’, although he passed away in 2006 at the age of 19, whenever I eat peanut butter I still use a plastic knife so I can throw it away and leave no traces of peanuts anywhere.
Justin, sorry to hear about your brother and excuse the personal question but was your his death related to the allergy in some way?
I should have specified that it wasn’t, but as the official report of death is inconclusive, I wouldn’t rule it. He was actually a lifeguard on duty at a military base pool when he just simply died., but he didn’t and wouldn’t let his peanut allergy prevent others from shit.
Oh man, Adam’s Thanksgiving story made me laugh so hard I got tears in my eyes. And that’s even WITH Drew killing the joke a little beforehand.
“Peanuts & flight: they go together like porn & Kleenex.” -Adam Carolla
A lot of talk about peanut allergies…. and then the legendary 1:17:47
Carolla and Drew have been shutting on Anderson a lot. And Carollas a big dickhead this episode. But a good one
32:27: Origin of the Drew drop: Naughty habit… Naughty habit
23:02: Origin of the Drew drop: Yes sir, Mr. Carolla!
Don’t get me wrong; I love Drew, but at times Adam really isn’t exaggerating about his obtuseness and inability to listen. The way he not merely steps on but STOMPS on Adam’s joke at 1:26:09 is just… Anyone familiar with Adam would instantly recognize his joke cadence and tone; somehow this escapes Drew, and I suspect that’s because he really was distracted / reading / not listening, as Adam had accused him of at least twice that ep.
One thing I’ve noticed about Drew as I re-listen to these episodes over the years (I’m on my third full listen-through of the No Guest episodes (with the exception of DAG and a small handful of others) from 2000-01-03 through 2005-11-03)) is how often he outright Does. Not. Listen.
He’ll ask a question the caller has already answered moments before (Adam’s also guilty of this, but not nearly as much as Drew) – often times more than once – and, most infuriatingly, he’ll (to borrow a Jack Donaghy phrase :D) “labor under the misapprehension” that a caller stated something that’s either a complete distortion / misinterpretation of what the caller said, or something the caller outright *didn’t say*. Adam (having heard the correct information) will often express some uncertainty as to the caller’s (age / marital status / boyfriend’s age / date of infidelity, etc.), thinking *he’s* the one who’s wrong, and Drew will commit to his erroneous position. Then, when they finally extract the disputed information from the caller, Drew will give an equivocal “Hmmm” and murmur “I didn’t hear that.” as Adam (rightfully) rakes him over the coals. (Regrettably, that didn’t happen here.)
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve wanted to reach through the spacetime aether and wring his neck for how willfully oblivious he was being.
Granted, a fair amount of these cases will have been due to how exhausted the poor guy was so much of the time given how thinly he spread himself between his various duties, jobs, and family life, but in the lion’s share of cases he not only wasn’t listening but semmed hellbent on misconstruing the callers’ statements.
Remote shows can feel off because there are no visual cues for Adam and Drew, and I think that drove the tension in this episode.
Believe this is the first night that Clocks was played as the final outro, leading up to the final drop of the night.
Krom sounded familiar. Adam complains a lot about Drew at the beginning and end, like he used to do all the time (not sure what years, maybe 2000/2001).
