Bad Directions |

Sunday, July 11, 2004 at 9:51 PM I listen to Loveline most every night while reading, and recently I've gotten the impression that Adam's rants are becoming forumlaic and sort of predictable. Often I will even hear him steering the conversation towards a rant subject or even picking calls that would facilitate his rants, and then launching into the same rant he's launched five times before. It's just a bit of a gripe, and I like to give people the benefit of the doubt and I'll assume that Adam is stretched thin right now, with his hernia worries, the new television show, and his marriage. Surely someone else has noticed this. —Bad Directions |

Adam's Crows |

Edited Sunday, July 11, 2004 at 11:01 PM This has been the case for quite some time. It is more obvious on certain nights when it seems like he is on auto pilot going into a rant knowing he can kill X minutes. He did the same hospital rants before and after his two recent operations. You'd think something new happened, apparenty not. Even loaded up on Vicodin did not really stimulate anything new. I think you may be shifting data in your brain and noticing things with a different perspective because you listen and read simultaneously. You know you take a course in math and don't get it until you push it out of the way making room for a new course in ceramics :-) —Adam's Crows |

Monday, July 12, 2004 at 2:36 AM Last couple of years Adam has been falling back on the same old schtick, the same tired old rants. The worst was last summer when he wouldn't shut up about the heat. Shit, imagine how insufferable he'd be if he lived in Baghdad. —hick truck |

Monday, July 12, 2004 at 4:08 AM Yeah, it's always been a little formulaic, but the good thing is the formula keeps changing. He does the same thing for awhile, but he does eventually move to other things. Some things are semi-permanent, like the hospital gowns and the red arrows, but he mixes it up with new, more temporary, things, like "get a hand in" etc. —puck71 |

Monday, July 12, 2004 at 6:36 AM I enjoy reading a lot, but I can't imagine trying to read and listen to a radio show at the same time. How can you do that? Now, listening to Loveline while playing video games, or while drawing, that I can do. —Dark Laith |

Edited Monday, July 12, 2004 at 10:02 AM I can't listen while I'm reading. I try to have all of my reading and writing done by 10:00. If I still have work to do, I put the radio on anyway, but I don't pay full attention (which is how I recently ended up semi-listening to a Kathy Griffin episode. I knew it was her, but I didn't get up to change it because I was too into my work. Every few minutes she would piss me off, though.) The heat rants really got to me. He wouldn't shut up for nights, and it became the most memorable annoying rant, ever. The traffic rants are almost as bad because I don't CARE about the f'ing traffic in California. We have no Mexicans here that I know of, so I get tired of the Mexican rants. And I still think radio math is stupid. I wish he would quit it. Does it really make a difference if a girl that no one will ever see is 5'4", 130, or 5'5", 126? Don't waste my time with that crap. Heal some babies! Other than that, I could listen to Adam rant about anything. —Joy |

Monday, July 12, 2004 at 1:32 PM I've always enjoyed the radio math he does, I think it's kind of funny. As far as the heat goes, Drew comments on it, too, but the most I've ever heard them say about it (and I've been listening for quite a few years now) is "oh GOD it's so hot" for about a minute, if even that long. And the "get a hand in" shtick is one of the funniest things I've ever heard, he can do that forever as far as I'm concerned. BTW, does anyone remember when he first started doing it? I know it was sometime this spring, and he would chime in clapping after everything the caller said, and it just had me in hysterics the entire time. —thejoeinme |

Monday, July 12, 2004 at 4:54 PM Radio math is hilarious. It was even funnier when he would do it quickly and the results would be whole numbers not-so-far from what the callers stated their weight were. That was when radio math, although it is still funny, was at its pinnacle. —Ogm |
