Thursday, May 6, 2004 at 9:34 AM If the guest laughs and enjoys Adam as much as I do, thats a
good guest. The guest doesnt even have to say much, except
maybe encourage the aceman and add fuel. —enliteneer |

Thursday, May 6, 2004 at 1:59 PM Participation. There are a lot of guests that just sit back and say almost nothing... those are the boring ones. —Dark Laith |

Thursday, May 6, 2004 at 2:36 PM Ah, but participation is only one part of the equation. I like when a guest is intelligent AND involved. That way you don't get the "I'm an idiot and love to hear myself talk" syndrome; e.g., Jerri Manthey, Evan Marriott, "Jackass" guys, etc. Wait... those are all reality-TV stars. Whoa. SHHHHOCKING! —Agent 007 |

Friday, May 7, 2004 at 1:14 AM I enjoy guests who have interesting or funny stories, either about their projects or personal lives. When it comes to helping the kiddies, though, I like the guests to make comments regarding their own experiences, NOT give advice. Some guests seem compelled to serve up their own warped sense of what's right and hand it off as sound advice. They need to leave that area to the hosts. —roadrage |

Edited Friday, May 7, 2004 at 2:14 AM Laughing is all that matters. If you think a guest is boring if they do not participate, you are saying that Adam and Drew are boring alone. It is worse when the guests are irritating and stupid. Adam will usually walk over most guest's input anyway so it is better if they keep their contributions short, sweet and just sit back laughing. Jay Mohr was smart, funny and energetic enough to shut down Adam's domination. He is the exception. —Adam's Crows |

Friday, May 7, 2004 at 5:46 PM Laughing is great anywhere including around me when I go about the day. As for media, I remember Harrison Ford on Leno one night. He was more of a good audience than Jay's guest because he laughed throughout the interview. I don't think Adam ever laughs at anyone's jokes. Drew often laughs. When someone says something funny Adam will take over and do one of his bits. He doesn't laugh, he just uses someone else's humor to springboard a joke of his own. A good guest laughs. It's better if they have something insightful or funny to offer and laugh. —Cracked |

Sunday, May 9, 2004 at 1:47 PM A good guest has rapport with both the hosts and the callers. She understands what they're going through, especially the women callers who are confused about their feelings. Empathy is basically what I want to see in a guest. And a sense of humor combined with talent wouldn't hurt, either. Really good guests would be people like Ellen DeGeneres, Melissa Etheridge, the Indigo Girls, Ani DiFranco, k. d. lang, Tori Amos, Sabrina Matthews, Jenny Shimizu. (I was going to say Rosie O'Donnell, but Adam is on record as hating her guts. Too bad, his loss.) Male guests are usually too mean and immature. —Saffeau |

Sunday, May 9, 2004 at 5:17 PM I usually just like someone who shuts up, occasionally laughing at things Adam says and egging him on. And ones who one can tell are learning things from Drew, and they're not afraid to show it. And fuck the Darkness. British pussies. —Thomas/Frope |

Edited Tuesday, May 11, 2004 at 11:51 PM I was thinking, Elizabeth Loftus would make a perfect guest for Loveline--if what you young males want is blood in the water. She's a distinguished UC Irvine psychology professor who specializes in exposing false memories (she's the world's leading authority on the subject) and has testified for the defense in many famous recovered-memory cases. I'd like to hear a professional psychologist's take on Drew and Adam's theories. That would really be an animated discussion. I bet Adam would lose it and start screaming at her, and Drew would pull a Darkness and storm out of the studio. —Saffeau |

Wednesday, May 12, 2004 at 7:08 PM I'm not sure why you'd think Drew would run out of the studio. For whatever you want to believe from Drew, I think he's a honest broker of information and doesn't come at his beliefs from a particular ideology. Nevertheless, since he treats patients, he has to believe that he is working towards his better interests. If he didn't and treated everything recalled by his patients with circumspection, it wouldn't be beneficial to their recovery or to his own Hippocratic oath. So I guess if he does have a point of view, it's towards helping his patients. Nevertheless, the more that one knows about memories and perception, the less one can be sure about the veracity of them. One interesting results of a recent experiment: "In one experiement, people who were walking across a college campus were asked by a stranger for directions. During the resulting chat, two men carrying a wooden door walked between the stranger and the subjects. After the door went by, the subjects were asked if they had noticed anything change. Half of those subjects failed to notice that, as the door passed by, the stranger had been substituted with a man who had been substituted by a man who had a different height, of different build and who sounded different. He was also wearing different clothes. Despite the fact that the subjects talked to the stranger for 10-15 seconds before the swap, half of them did not detect that, after the passing of the door, that they had been talking to a different person. This phenomenon, called change blindness, highlights how we see much less than we think we do." article —GDG |

Wednesday, May 12, 2004 at 8:50 PM What makes a good guest? The same qualities that make a good leader. Vision. Courage. Principles. Willingness to stand up and fight for what's right, no matter how much those pussy terrorist-loving liberals try to take you down! Being an American! THAT'S what makes a good guest. Not some dithering traitor like John Kerry! —sick fuck |

Thursday, May 13, 2004 at 2:53 PM I think good guests come as close to being Adam as possible. Adam is experienced because he's been doing the show for a long time, but he doesn't have one bit of training on what medicine a kid should take or anything like that. I HATE silent guests (Linkin Park, James Marsters), too loud guests (Insane Clown Posse), or obnoxious guests (the Darkness). I guess they need to book some specialists or some authors or someone smart/outspoken to help the kids. —Jason |
