Saturday, August 12, 2006 at 8:45 AM wow wasn't that the best bit of Radio since the TACS show started? Even funnier and more painful than when Billy got sacked or when they tried to get Floyd Landis to take a lie detector test. This was at times funny as hell at others painful but always gripping.
Adam Carolla is still the King —AceRockollaisAce |

Monday, August 14, 2006 at 4:25 AM Good radio? Not really. But it did show those people who somehow like Teresa what she is really like. She does a job that anyone could do, why keep someone who is so out of control of her emotions that she cries anytime anyone looks at her? This was a bit, people had to single someone out, two people were immune, no one criticizes Adam, who was left? Is she that self-centered and egotistical she can't see that? If you gotta say something bad about someone, then you pick who's left. No one even said anything really bad, and she was crying before she even read any of them anyway. Plus we find out that she actually is a terrible person. All that horrible stuff she said. I can't believe Brusqua doesn't fire her for the things she said to him. Now they will never be able to do the bit again, or if they do no one will dare say anything about little Miss Priss who has to have everyone praise her at all times or she cries. And then all these callers call in and criticize Dave, who said nothing the whole time. The guy who said she has more wit than Dave. Has he heard the show? Dave is hilarious for four hours and Teresea hardly says a word except for her "news" twice during that time, and it is the same each time. Just get rid of her! Replace her with Big Tad, Jaron the Intern, Brusqua, Deaf Frat Guy, the inane traffic chick, Billy or someone off the street. Any of them could do the job and probably would not cry at the drop of a hat. Even Rachel Perry was not this bad. —TonyInPortland |

Monday, August 14, 2006 at 6:40 AM did show those people who somehow like Teresa what she is really like. Well, it gave us a small glimpse. She does a job that anyone could do, You're vastly underestimating her. why keep someone who is so out of control of her emotions that she cries anytime anyone looks at her Well, because it's kinda funny / interesting to listen to her loose control and because she's like a high end Italian sports car - amazing when it works, but a bit touchy / hard to maintain. Don't you ever listen to Adam? two people were immune They were, but, I believe, they both renounced their immunity. no one criticizes Adam Actually, there was one for Adam this week (and I'm willing to bet that he'll be selected at some point in the near future). , who was left? Alternate theory - last week she was acting freaked out about being picked, but only got 1-2 votes. People deliberately picked her to give her a hard time and because they thought it'd be funny. Plus we find out that she actually is a terrible person. Well, she's insecure, over-sensitive, and lashes out at people. Is Beat It! a terrible person? I don't think so. All that horrible stuff she said. Was it really that bad? I'm not sure if I'd want her as a friend, but I don't think I'd fire her over it. Also, this was a comedy writers meeting - people are actually expected to just say random / crazy ess and they're all competing with each other to see who can be more over the top. I can't believe Brusqua doesn't fire her for the things she said to him Yeah, but he also said he loves her and wouldn't fire her. That's just the working relationship these people have. It's not gross insubordination. We're not talking about executives at Wal Mart here. Now they will never be able to do the bit again You're kidding, right? I'd almost expect them to add the Wednesday Bitch Bag after that, if that wouldn't end up depleting the well. Dave is hilarious for four hours OK. Teresea hardly says a word except for her "news" twice during that time, and it is the same each time OK, that's it. Now I'm convinced you don't listen to the show. Even Rachel Perry was not this bad I don't know why I'm even bothering. —anobody |

Monday, August 14, 2006 at 11:09 PM She does a job that anyone could do, You're vastly underestimating her. Really, what does she do? Look up 2-3 stories five days a week off the Internet and read them twice a day? I think anyone that can read and has an Internet connection could do that. She has a nice speaking voice but I am sure many people have that. why keep someone who is so out of control of her emotions that she cries anytime anyone looks at her Well, because it's kinda funny / interesting to listen to her loose control and because she's like a high end Italian sports car - amazing when it works, but a bit touchy / hard to maintain. It was funny the first time, when Dave told her to fuck off, but since then she has cried several times, this time, it was, as you say later, obvious they did it just to get a reaction out of her. She should be a pro and know this and not let it get to her. two people were immune They were, but, I believe, they both renounced their immunity. Dave did earlier, but he still got one vote didn't he, and Brusqua didn't renounce his until right before they did the bit which was after the votes has been submitted. no one criticizes Adam Actually, there was one for Adam this week (and I'm willing to bet that he'll be selected at some point in the near future). Don't I listen to the show? The one for Adam was from Deaf Frat Guy and was obviously a joke, not a real one. Plus we find out that she actually is a terrible person. Well, she's insecure, over-sensitive, and lashes out at people. Is Beat It! a terrible person? I don't think so. OK she is not a terrible person, but she is not the goody-goody she tries to make herself out to be. I am sure she is a fine person but she does not play fair. When Dave had to go sit in the bathroom, he didn't start crying, he tood it good-naturedly. She should have done the same. All that horrible stuff she said. Was it really that bad? I'm not sure if I'd want her as a friend, but I don't think I'd fire her over it. Also, this was a comedy writers meeting - people are actually expected to just say random / crazy ess and they're all competing with each other to see who can be more over the top. No she should not be fired for what she said, I just meant I hope they fire her, but she did lie about it until they played the tape. I can't believe Brusqua doesn't fire her for the things she said to him Yeah, but he also said he loves her and wouldn't fire her. That's just the working relationship these people have. It's not gross insubordination. We're not talking about executives at Wal Mart here. True and they wouldn't fire her on the air anyway, but I thought she might quit on the air. That would be good radio, huh? Now they will never be able to do the bit again You're kidding, right? I'd almost expect them to add the Wednesday Bitch Bag after that, if that wouldn't end up depleting the well. I would bet they won't do it anymore as long as Teresa is there or else they will give her total immunity because she will say that if this happens again she will not be able to take it. The whole point is it is supposed to be funny and eventually everyone gets picked (except Adam). You take your turn like a man, so to speak. Dave is hilarious for four hours OK. I am not sure if this means you are one of these Dave-haters or not. I suppose I can somehow understand how people might find his style annoying, where he yells and what-not, but certainly you gotta admit he has great comic-timing and says a lot of funny things and also knows when to be quiet. I love when he yells and stuff myself. Teresea hardly says a word except for her "news" twice during that time, and it is the same each time OK, that's it. Now I'm convinced you don't listen to the show. Why do you say that? I have heard every show except one I have part of on an MP3 and haven't listened to yet, plus some small parts missed at the start or end of a few of the early shows, like 5 or 10 minutes here and there. Sure she talks, but often at the wrong time--she does not have comic timing. That is tough either you have it or you don't. I know I wouldn't, but someone on a comedy show should have it. She is funnier than most of the others that tried out. Even Rachel Perry was not this bad I don't know why I'm even bothering. OK Rachel was terrible, but I bet she wouldn't have reacted like Teresa in this situation. I guess I shouldn't complain because if Teresa did leave they would probably get someone even worse. I just don't understand why they HAVE to fill that position with a hot-looking chick. Why not hire the most qualified person, be it a gay guy, an ugly fat chick or whatever? Or have no one in that spot for a while. Just because all other morning radio does something, Adam has complained about morning radio for years, why not go a different direction? —TonyInPortland |

None the less, I thought we as fans wanted TACS to take a step foward and produce good radio. People cryin on air always seems to be funny to me in a sick way, and I like teresa. She's a hell of a lot faster on her toes then Rachel Perry.
Plus Rachel was a bitter bitch. —rAnCIDsICk@!!! |

Monday, August 14, 2006 at 11:46 PM Really, what does she do? Look up 2-3 stories five days a week off the Internet and read them twice a day? I think anyone that can read and has an Internet connection could do that. She has a nice speaking voice but I am sure many people have that. She's actually decent at improv. Think Thunderbear. It was funny the first time, when Dave told her to fuck off, but since then she has cried several times, this time, it was, as you say later, obvious they did it just to get a reaction out of her. She should be a pro and know this and not let it get to her. It is morning radio and they're not targeting people who listen all the time. When they hit on something that seems to work (like her crying or the Ann Coulter thing), they hit it again and again. Dave did earlier, but he still got one vote didn't he, and Brusqua didn't renounce his until right before they did the bit which was after the votes has been submitted. Fair enough. Don't I listen to the show? The one for Adam was from Deaf Frat Guy and was obviously a joke, not a real one. I'm just sayin. OK she is not a terrible person, but she is not the goody-goody she tries to make herself out to be. I am sure she is a fine person but she does not play fair. When Dave had to go sit in the bathroom, he didn't start crying, he tood it good-naturedly. She should have done the same. Think about how boring it'd be If she was just like Dave - or, worse, if she actually was a goody-goody. Also, you have to factor in that they're playing on stereotypes - people assume women are sensitive and emotional, so she takes those traits and exaggerates them to comic proportions. No she should not be fired for what she said, I just meant I hope they fire her, but she did lie about it until they played the tape. Perhaps not a great move on her part (assuming it wasn't all an act), but if you thought there wasn't any evidence of some infraction you committed against your boss, even if you wouldn't lie about it, wouldn't you frame it in a way that made it not seem so bad? True and they wouldn't fire her on the air anyway, but I thought she might quit on the air. That would be good radio, huh? It would (but I don't expect, or want, it to happen). I would bet they won't do it anymore as long as Teresa is there or else they will give her total immunity because she will say that if this happens again she will not be able to take it. The whole point is it is supposed to be funny and eventually everyone gets picked (except Adam). You take your turn like a man, so to speak. Just that we're talking about this makes me think they made the right move. They get that much more mind share and drama. I am not sure if this means you are one of these Dave-haters or not. I suppose I can somehow understand how people might find his style annoying, where he yells and what-not, but certainly you gotta admit he has great comic-timing and says a lot of funny things and also knows when to be quiet. I love when he yells and stuff myself. No, I love Dave. I just think you're overstating his case a bit (much as I think you're overstating the case against Teresa). Why do you say that? I have heard every show except one I have part of on an MP3 and haven't listened to yet, plus some small parts missed at the start or end of a few of the early shows, like 5 or 10 minutes here and there. I'm just saying - she may not interject as often as Dave, but she still talks a fair bit (more than you realize, I think). Sure she talks, but often at the wrong time--she does not have comic timing. That is tough either you have it or you don't. I know I wouldn't, but someone on a comedy show should have it. She is funnier than most of the others that tried out. I strongly disagree, I think it's something you can work on and hone over time. Adam actually touched on that last week - something like even a genius like Beck was once sitting up on stage with a Casio and people booed him off stage. Granted, she'll never be Adam, but I think she's doing a lot better than you realize, and she's improving steadily. Also, if she's funnier than most of the others they tried out, doesn't it seem reasonable that she was the best overall fit? Funny and smart enough - the best mix of all the candidates. OK Rachel was terrible, but I bet she wouldn't have reacted like Teresa in this situation. I guess I shouldn't complain because if Teresa did leave they would probably get someone even worse. I just don't understand why they HAVE to fill that position with a hot-looking chick. Why not hire the most qualified person, be it a gay guy, an ugly fat chick or whatever? Or have no one in that spot for a while. Just because all other morning radio does something, Adam has complained about morning radio for years, why not go a different direction? I kinda agree but I think Adam's just doing the best he can given the constraints imposed by management. They're trying to replicate the proven 'morning zoo' mold, and he's pushing in his own direction, but he also has to satisfy the demands of the PD, FreeFM, et al. at least till he starts proving himself in his new role and finding his audience. Having said that, even when he's in a position to dictate terms, I don't think he'll get rid of T till she's ready to move on... but what do I know? —anobody |

Tuesday, August 15, 2006 at 5:19 AM Really, what does she do? Look up 2-3 stories five days a week off the Internet and read them twice a day? I think anyone that can read and has an Internet connection could do that. She has a nice speaking voice but I am sure many people have that. She's actually decent at improv. Think Thunderbear. OK I can go along with maybe 75% of what you are saying, and, maybe even think she did OK at that if I hadn't heard Drew do it first, but I think she stinks at the "translating" bit. True, since she did zero research on Adam before she started she has obviously never heard Drew and Adam do the bit, but she does not get how it is supposed to work. When Adam breaks into English, she is not supposed to translate that part, because--hey--the caller and listeners understand English! She is supposed to make up funny things for the "native American" parts Adam improvs. I think she is good at that, but somebody tell her to stop translating the English parts. I know it is nitpicking, and I never thought I would want Drew back, but he actually was very funny at this. It was funny the first time, when Dave told her to fuck off, but since then she has cried several times, this time, it was, as you say later, obvious they did it just to get a reaction out of her. She should be a pro and know this and not let it get to her. It is morning radio and they're not targeting people who listen all the time. When they hit on something that seems to work (like her crying or the Ann Coulter thing), they hit it again and again. Wow so you think Teresa was acting? I never considered that possibility. If that was an act, I take back everything I said. You know who Henry Rollins is? He has a show on Tuesday nights in LA and also online (where I listen--actually I download it) and he played the Ann Coulter clip from Adam's show a few weeks ago. Don't I listen to the show? The one for Adam was from Deaf Frat Guy and was obviously a joke, not a real one. I'm just sayin. Yeah, but still... OK she is not a terrible person, but she is not the goody-goody she tries to make herself out to be. I am sure she is a fine person but she does not play fair. When Dave had to go sit in the bathroom, he didn't start crying, he tood it good-naturedly. She should have done the same. Think about how boring it'd be If she was just like Dave - or, worse, if she actually was a goody-goody. No I think her personality is a good fit, my whole point was, if she is that much of a crybaby she can't even take criticism that was part of a bit, they could get someone else equally good on the air, or better, that is better able to deal with it. Also, you have to factor in that they're playing on stereotypes - people assume women are sensitive and emotional, so she takes those traits and exaggerates them to comic proportions. Again, I am not sure she is that good of an actor. You REALLY think it is a possibility that was all an act and she was only pretending to cry? What about the thing when Dave told her to F off? Was that faked too, because it didn't sound like it? No she should not be fired for what she said, I just meant I hope they fire her, but she did lie about it until they played the tape. Perhaps not a great move on her part (assuming it wasn't all an act), but if you thought there wasn't any evidence of some infraction you committed against your boss, even if you wouldn't lie about it, wouldn't you frame it in a way that made it not seem so bad? I suppose. I would bet they won't do it anymore as long as Teresa is there or else they will give her total immunity because she will say that if this happens again she will not be able to take it. The whole point is it is supposed to be funny and eventually everyone gets picked (except Adam). You take your turn like a man, so to speak. Just that we're talking about this makes me think they made the right move. They get that much more mind share and drama. But I still think we have seen the last of this bit, at least for the time being. No, I love Dave. I just think you're overstating his case a bit (much as I think you're overstating the case against Teresa). I really can't imagine the show without Dave. I mean I guess there are others that could be as good or better, but those guys don't do radio. Considering he was a lowly comedy writer before, he is really great on the radio. As far as Teresa, I already said she was the best of all the auditioned replacements, my whole beef is that they need her at all, or that they didn't even audition anything but hot chicks. When Rachel first started missing shows for her TV pilot thing, every single time they brought in a hot chick to fill in. They even had producer Angie do it once--she was good I thought. I'm just saying - she may not interject as often as Dave, but she still talks a fair bit (more than you realize, I think). Oh I think she talks too much, but that's just me.... I just meant she talks the least of the three. Sure she talks, but often at the wrong time--she does not have comic timing. That is tough either you have it or you don't. I know I wouldn't, but someone on a comedy show should have it. She is funnier than most of the others that tried out. I strongly disagree, I think it's something you can work on and hone over time. Adam actually touched on that last week - something like even a genius like Beck was once sitting up on stage with a Casio and people booed him off stage. Granted, she'll never be Adam, but I think she's doing a lot better than you realize, and she's improving steadily. You know, her first few days, I was really happy, because I was afraid they would pick the other chick, when it was down to the final two. The first 2-3 days she didn't really say much. Then she said a few things that were not really in the flow of the show, but after a few weeks I thought she was getting a lot better, but now it seems like she has overstepped her bounds. But I could live with all that if it wasn't for her emotional outbursts and how she lords it over Dave constantly that he told her to F off even though he apoligized so many times and was punished for it. And like I said before when we talked about it a few weeks ago, I think she will be gone as soon as she can. Someone like her that has done TV doesn't step down to radio unless they have to. OK Rachel was terrible, but I bet she wouldn't have reacted like Teresa in this situation. I guess I shouldn't complain because if Teresa did leave they would probably get someone even worse. I just don't understand why they HAVE to fill that position with a hot-looking chick. Why not hire the most qualified person, be it a gay guy, an ugly fat chick or whatever? Or have no one in that spot for a while. Just because all other morning radio does something, Adam has complained about morning radio for years, why not go a different direction? I kinda agree but I think Adam's just doing the best he can given the constraints imposed by management. They're trying to replicate the proven 'morning zoo' mold, and he's pushing in his own direction, but he also has to satisfy the demands of the PD, FreeFM, et al. at least till he starts proving himself in his new role and finding his audience. I know, I know if Adam was the ultimate boss, it would be a lot different. I have never listened to morning radio before this show and the fact I hear the whole show also screws it up because the show is designed for people who listen to a few minutes at a time. Having said that, even when he's in a position to dictate terms, I don't think he'll get rid of T till she's ready to move on... but what do I know? Yeah I wonder who's decision it would be anyway. I mean is her boss Brusqua, Adam or Jack Silver? I guess they all are. You're probably right, but I would not be surprised if she left soon on her own. Hey she's got a week to look for a new gig.

Edited Tuesday, August 15, 2006 at 8:17 AM (original post)wow wasn't that the best bit of Radio since the TACS show started? Even funnier and more painful than when Billy got sacked or when they tried to get Floyd Landis to take a lie detector test. This was at times funny as hell at others painful but always gripping.
Adam Carolla is still the King It took me a couple reads to tell if you were being sarcastic or not, but I disagree with you, I don't think it's good radio, nor particularly funny, nor particularly entertaining. It has a real cringe factor that I can't get through, for the same reason I can't laugh at Big Tad being called fat all the time (fat jokes? really?) or laughing at the way Ozzie speaks (laugh at the guy with an accent and pronunciation problems? really?). Don't get me wrong, I love laughing at people, but these are the easiest targets. Same for Prince, easy target. The genesis of the bitch bag is that Bruscha thinks on-air conlict is great radio. He tried several times before to try to fan the flames between T and tracy metro. The worst possible outcome is that T leaves the show or the existing chemistry is spoiled because T no longer participates in the show. Also, the bitch bag focuses a lot on event which happen outside the studio, off air. And it crumbles into a lot of he-aid she-said. Also... maybe I'm a softy but I don't like to hear T crying. She's a decent person and she's heads and shoulders better than her predecesor. Whether or not you think she's funny, she's at least palatable, and she's garnered some legit respect as a writer and personality (won an emmy+ a jounalism award for her evil stepmother story). She's also the only even-keeled person in the studio, the same way Jerry Seinfeld was one level-headed person on his show (note- never really like seinfeld, just using it an an example). And hearing Adam laugh when T cried was uncomfortable, I think Adam laughed because he didn't know what else to do, also it's a bit comical how some people break down after only a few minutes of criticism. T's problem is she already has emotional stuff and possibly a personality disorder, so she may be close to crying at any given moment anyway. Although it's too bad Rachel was never the target of a bitch bag. —ProfessorCarbuncle |

Edited Tuesday, August 15, 2006 at 10:12 AM OK I can go along with maybe 75% of what you are saying, and, maybe even think she did OK at that if I hadn't heard Drew do it first, but I think she stinks at the "translating" bit. True, since she did zero research on Adam before she started she has obviously never heard Drew and Adam do the bit, but she does not get how it is supposed to work. Well, I'm not sure there are exactly rules to Thunderbear (Drew had one interpretation of how to do the interpretation, she has another). Also, I think she's done more research than it seems. It's just useful for her to play ignorant to help introduce things to the audience without getting weird and preachy. Having said that, she really is less familiar with Adam's previous work as I'd like. When Adam breaks into English, she is not supposed to translate that part, because--hey--the caller and listeners understand English! She is supposed to make up funny things for the "native American" parts Adam improvs. I think she is good at that, but somebody tell her to stop translating the English parts. I know it is nitpicking, and I never thought I would want Drew back, but he actually was very funny at this. She does make some funny things up (though I will give you that Adam leads most of it). I think it's funny when we here English in Thunderbear's Choctaw but Dave's character doesn't and then she deliberately mistranslates to soften the blow. I'm an easy laugh, though. Wow so you think Teresa was acting? I never considered that possibility. If that was an act, I take back everything I said. Just to clarify, by acting, I don't mean that it's entirely false - just that she's taking her reaction, somewhere around 3-4, and turning it up to 11. You know who Henry Rollins is? He has a show on Tuesday nights in LA and also online (where I listen--actually I download it) and he played the Ann Coulter clip from Adam's show a few weeks ago. I know who he is but don't know too much about him. Think the most I've seen of him was on Jackass when Steve-O was getting his Hummer-tattoo (though I do have one of his videos in my Netflix queue). That Ann Coulter thing never gets old to me. Yeah, but still... Fuck! I can't argue with you there. No I think her personality is a good fit, my whole point was, if she is that much of a crybaby she can't even take criticism that was part of a bit, they could get someone else equally good on the air, or better, that is better able to deal with it. They probably could, but I still think that she's more than good enough (and I don't have such a problem with her personality flaws - they give her depth and make her more human). Again, I am not sure she is that good of an actor. You REALLY think it is a possibility that was all an act and she was only pretending to cry? What about the thing when Dave told her to F off? Was that faked too, because it didn't sound like it? I'm not claiming she's a great actor - just that she could take her reaction and amplify it considerably. I do think the time with Dave was real (and the genesis of a push for her to get more emotional and unstable on the show). But I still think we have seen the last of this bit, at least for the time being. Guess we'll find out a week friday (when I fully expect it to be back). I really can't imagine the show without Dave. I mean I guess there are others that could be as good or better, but those guys don't do radio. Considering he was a lowly comedy writer before, he is really great on the radio. Yeah, he has definitely found his niche. As far as Teresa, I already said she was the best of all the auditioned replacements, my whole beef is that they need her at all, or that they didn't even audition anything but hot chicks. When Rachel first started missing shows for her TV pilot thing, every single time they brought in a hot chick to fill in. They even had producer Angie do it once--she was good I thought. I do agree - eye candy on radio is completely retarded. At the same time, I kinda like hearing girls getting naked in studio (when they're not too depressed about the situation in the Middle East). Oh I think she talks too much, but that's just me.... I just meant she talks the least of the three. Yeah, I guess if you don't like her, anything would be too much. You know, her first few days, I was really happy, because I was afraid they would pick the other chick, when it was down to the final two. The first 2-3 days she didn't really say much. Then she said a few things that were not really in the flow of the show, but after a few weeks I thought she was getting a lot better, but now it seems like she has overstepped her bounds. But I could live with all that if it wasn't for her emotional outbursts and how she lords it over Dave constantly that he told her to F off even though he apoligized so many times and was punished for it. I think she's just experimenting around - testing her boundaries, seeing where she fits in and what her role should be. Over time, I think she'll find her place and settle into it. Actually, I think that's already happening. And like I said before when we talked about it a few weeks ago, I think she will be gone as soon as she can. Someone like her that has done TV doesn't step down to radio unless they have to. You could be right, but I hope not. Even though Rachel wasn't a great fit, over time she became part of the show and I missed her a bit when she left (well, not that much, but a bit). I think T's becoming more integral to the show and if she's on just a few months more, it'll be a huge disruption for her to leave. I know, I know if Adam was the ultimate boss, it would be a lot different. I have never listened to morning radio before this show and the fact I hear the whole show also screws it up because the show is designed for people who listen to a few minutes at a time.Yeah, I'm not a huge morning radio fan either. Adam's show is getting better, though, and it's getting easier to listen to the whole show every day (whether that's due to the show improving or my accumulation of brain damage is another matter). Yeah I wonder who's decision it would be anyway. I mean is her boss Brusqua, Adam or Jack Silver? I guess they all are. You're probably right, but I would not be surprised if she left soon on her own. Hey she's got a week to look for a new gig. If she's actively perusing something in TV, I don't think she even needs the week - she has all afternoon every weekday when the show is on (and I'm sure she has an agent doing the actual search for her). Hell, she could almost get a TV gig in the afternoon and keep doing the show in the mornings (it'd be a lot of work, and a PITA but it's an option). I can't laugh at Big Tad being called fat all the time (fat jokes? really?) I don't care for that much either (funny that Adam used to always talk about how the obese are the only people we're allowed to pick on any more and how cruel that is). laughing at the way Ozzie speaks (laugh at the guy with an accent and pronunciation problems? really?). I'm terribly ashamed about this, but I kinda like that. She's also the only even-keeled person in the studio Really? it's a bit comical how some people break down after only a few minutes of criticism I'd feel bad if she wasn't dishing it out all the time (off-air, at least), but it's funny as hell that she craps on everyone but can't take it in the slightest herself (does that make me a bad person?). T's problem is she already has emotional stuff and possibly a personality disorder, so she may be close to crying at any given moment anyway. Seems like just about everyone involved with the making of the show has weird emotional stuff and some sort of a personality disorder (maybe a slightly unhealthy relationship with alcohol as well). From what little I know of radio, that's all standard issue. Perfectly well-adjusted people probably aren't so inclined toward the entertainment industry (and if they are, they'd be pretty dull without some serious play-acting). Although it's too bad Rachel was never the target of a bitch bag. I don't know, I thought one of her problems was that she was just so bland and 2-dimensional. Just doesn't seem like there's much to bitch about there (beyond a general blah). —anobody |

Tuesday, August 15, 2006 at 12:24 PM and I never thought I would want Drew back, but he actually was very funny at this. Drew never was on TACS (except as a guest) - And to never want Drew back when Loveline with Adam and Drew was the BEST radio is very sad and in my mind weakens any argument you may have (on any subject ever). Dave Damheshit is a loud mouth certainly no comedy genius, sure some times what he does is good, but often he is just annoyng. T is fine and she does much more than just read the news, often coming in with much smarter comments than loudmouth Damheshit.
I'm a Brit and have turned a few friends on to Loveline and also TACS - they all agree they prefer Loveline - I tried to expand this by giving them MP3 CD's of Opie & Anthony, Ron & Fez, Kevin & Bean and Howard Stern. Still Loveline is the favourite with everybody for your information. Adam and Drew 10/10 Adam and Dave 7/10 (and Adam is 6.5 of that) —AceRockollaisAce |

Still Loveline is the favourite with everybody for your information. Adam and Drew 10/10 Adam and Dave 7/10 (and Adam is 6.5 of that) I would take Loveline the way it was, sure, but I think Adam and any doctor would have been great. Sure after years of the way things were, it would be weird to replace Drew, but when Dr. Bruce or Dr. Marcel was on, those were great shows too. The genius of the show, besides Adam, was the format and that is where ACS differs so much. On Loveline Adam could make fun of the idiot callers, whereas on ACS there are fewer callers and even fewer idiot callers, so he has to make fun of the news or sports stuff, or guests, which can be tricky, or maybe his co-hosts, but you can only take that so far. Lately I think he has been able to just go off on long rants like he used to on Loveline, with little or nothing to spark it, which is good, but there is no possible way to even come close to duplicating the magic of Loveline. Heck you could take out Dave and Teresa, put in Drew and it still wouldn't work because it is on in the morning, no wacked out teens to call in at that hour. I guess I should quit listening to ACS and just download old Lovelines, like others are doing. There are so many out there it wouldn't be so bad I guess, but I wills still give the new show some more time. But, yeah, I agree, Loveline was the ultimate, with Adam and Drew. —TonyInPortland |

Tuesday, August 15, 2006 at 10:32 PM Well, I'm not sure there are exactly rules to Thunderbear (Drew had one interpretation of how to do the interpretation, she has another). Well I think if you get there first, you make the rules! Also, I think she's done more research than it seems. It's just useful for her to play ignorant to help introduce things to the audience without getting weird and preachy. Having said that, she really is less familiar with Adam's previous work as I'd like. I guess in some cases she does that, but there are so many things she has not known about that were dealt with constantly on Loveline, or things from the Man Show or the Comedy Central show or whatever. I think she said she did watch the TLC show, but she also had a show on TLC didn't she? Wow so you think Teresa was acting? I never considered that possibility. If that was an act, I take back everything I said. Just to clarify, by acting, I don't mean that it's entirely false - just that she's taking her reaction, somewhere around 3-4, and turning it up to 11. Oh I see. I don't know, don't you think you either cry or you don't? I mean the type of person who would cry on the air seems like they would be the type of person who would be horrified that they did cry on the air, and would avoid it at any cost if at all possible. But, what do I know? But I still think we have seen the last of this bit, at least for the time being. Guess we'll find out a week friday (when I fully expect it to be back). Yeah I don't know if I want it back or not. I would if it was going to be as if nothing happened, but there is no way they will ever let Teresa get it again, and if someone is immune (for more than one week) the whole bit is pointless. I do agree - eye candy on radio is completely retarded. At the same time, I kinda like hearing girls getting naked in studio (when they're not too depressed about the situation in the Middle East). But isn't it kinda the same thing? The whole thing where they pretend to be depressed about current events used to be really funny but the girls lately were not so good at it, it was obvious they were reading it. The ones that first started doing it were real convincing. Or maybe they were the same ones? They all blend together for me. I think she's just experimenting around - testing her boundaries, seeing where she fits in and what her role should be. Over time, I think she'll find her place and settle into it. Actually, I think that's already happening. But don't you think Friday's ordeal changed all that? Adam's show is getting better, though, and it's getting easier to listen to the whole show every day Most days it is good, but it continues to drive me crazy when they repeat word for word the news and sports. I mean they have 2-3 minutes of actual material, how hard would it be for Dave and Teresa to scare up something different? I know the show is not geared to people who listen to the whole show, but still it would be cool. If she's actively perusing something in TV, I don't think she even needs the week - she has all afternoon every weekday when the show is on (and I'm sure she has an agent doing the actual search for her). I imagine she is, if for no other reason than TV pays way more than radio. Anyway it will be interesting to see what happens Monday. For all we know Teresa could have quit. I doubt that, but you never know. But for sure they will address what happened. That is one thing about Adam. Any other show would not let that kinda stuff go out over the air and would not talk about it afterward, but Adam (and Brusqua) recognize it can be compelling stuff, so we'll at least get to see whatever happens play out. I just think she can't keep crying on the air once or twice a month. They need to sit her down and make her understand that what happens on the air is not real or whatever. —TonyInPortland |

Tuesday, August 15, 2006 at 11:27 PM OK anobody I have got him wobbling, I will hold him you jump in and deliver the killer blow! Unfortunately, as MJ pointed out, I make smudges, not points (so I'm more likely to cause him to pass out from confusion and boredom, a TKO, perhaps, but not as rewarding or impressive as taking him down for the count). Well I think if you get there first, you make the rules! Meh. Rules are made to be broken. I guess in some cases she does that, but there are so many things she has not known about that were dealt with constantly on Loveline, or things from the Man Show or the Comedy Central show or whatever. I think she said she did watch the TLC show, but she also had a show on TLC didn't she? She did. A horrible flaming turd called While You Were Out, that I was once forced against my will to watch, in much the same way Malcom Mcdowell in The Clockwork Orange. I wouldn't expect her to have encyclopedic of his work (that's for the nerds like Dave). Oh I see. I don't know, don't you think you either cry or you don't? I mean the type of person who would cry on the air seems like they would be the type of person who would be horrified that they did cry on the air, and would avoid it at any cost if at all possible. But, what do I know? Well, I wouldn't cry on the air (unless I really hurt myself, and even then, it'd be more of a whimper under my breath), and I wouldn't be horrified about crying on the air. I'd imagine if I were more emotional like that, I'd be more upset about crying on the air, but who knows. Assuming your thesis though, wouldn't it follow that she'd be play-acting? Yeah I don't know if I want it back or not. I would if it was going to be as if nothing happened, but there is no way they will ever let Teresa get it again, and if someone is immune (for more than one week) the whole bit is pointless. I think you're making way too much out of the whole thing. Immune or not, I half expect her to get at least a vote or two (and I wouldn't be surprised if she ends up getting stung by it every-other week until she stops rewarding people for voting for her). But isn't it kinda the same thing? The whole thing where they pretend to be depressed about current events used to be really funny but the girls lately were not so good at it, it was obvious they were reading it. The ones that first started doing it were real convincing. Or maybe they were the same ones? They all blend together for me. That was so bad when the chick effed up the reading (really broke the fourth wall, and not in a good way). Other than that, it always makes me laugh. But don't you think Friday's ordeal changed all that? Not really. I do think she'll stop talking shit behind people's backs (at least for a little while) though. Most days it is good, but it continues to drive me crazy when they repeat word for word the news and sports. I mean they have 2-3 minutes of actual material, how hard would it be for Dave and Teresa to scare up something different? I know the show is not geared to people who listen to the whole show, but still it would be cool. They try, but, I agree, those are the major flaws in the show (I don't think it'd really hurt the show if they cut them out all together and only mentioned current events as they're relevant). I imagine she is, if for no other reason than TV pays way more than radio. I agree, and, according to IMDB, she is getting some bit parts in movies and TV. I'd imagine that TACS is a nice regular job to supplement her income in the dry spots... until she gets something regular, at least. Even then, the show breaks at 10, so I'd imagine it wouldn't be that hard to keep it in the background. Anyway it will be interesting to see what happens Monday. For all we know Teresa could have quit. I doubt that, but you never know. I'd be utterly shocked and dumbfounded if she did. I really don't think it was that big a deal. But for sure they will address what happened. That is one thing about Adam. Any other show would not let that kinda stuff go out over the air and would not talk about it afterward, but Adam (and Brusqua) recognize it can be compelling stuff, so we'll at least get to see whatever happens play out. Really? Isn't that the sort of marrow that Stern, Leykis, Mancow, and just about every other shock jockish show would suck dry? I just think she can't keep crying on the air once or twice a month. They need to sit her down and make her understand that what happens on the air is not real or whatever. If they have a talk with her about it, I'd bet it'd be to encourage her to bring on the waterworks more often, not less. —anobody |

If they sit her down and make her realize the thing is basically a joke, I could see it continuing. But I don't think they will continue to do it and try to make her cry. I think that is the only way she would be selected, if she agrees to take it for what it is and not as an attack on her. Maybe radio people are different though. I used to listen to Leykis years ago before he eschewed anything political, and I think he also would embrace this type of thing. Don't know about the others you mentioned, never listened to them before. For all of their differences, it's almost depressing how similar they can be. Somebody strikes upon something that works and a hoard of imitators follow. So then who was the first to do this sort of stuff, Stern? And the others are following him? Naw, unless she WAS faking, I think they genuinely felt bad about it, despite the fact it was compelling radio. Oh I agree they felt bad. I just think they'll go with their baser drives. Aw I don't think even those guys are so unfeeling they would advocate actually trying to make her cry on the air. I think they risk alienating the coveted female listeners they are trying to recruit if she continues to cry, too. —TonyInPortland |

Friday, August 18, 2006 at 12:51 AM I am not saying I think she will quit, btw. Ah. I must have misunderstood. Hahaha, I don't think I am that sure I actually want to bet money. I am notoriously cheap. Besides my PalPal account has lapsed! Yeah, probably better not to bet. I will say that it would not surprise me totally if they keep it in some form. I think a lot could happen. If they sit her down and make her realize the thing is basically a joke, I could see it continuing. But I don't think they will continue to do it and try to make her cry. I think that is the only way she would be selected, if she agrees to take it for what it is and not as an attack on her. I look forward to seeing how it plays out. So then who was the first to do this sort of stuff, Stern? And the others are following him? I think there's been a long progression of personalities - Stern was just distinguished himself and was the most successful. There's definitely a lot of cross-pollenation going on. Didn't notice before how much Adam was influenced by Stern, but if you listen for it, it's staggering. I don't think it's all one-sided, though. Aw I don't think even those guys are so unfeeling they would advocate actually trying to make her cry on the air. I think they risk alienating the coveted female listeners they are trying to recruit if she continues to cry, too. It just occurred to me - maybe you haven't met any novelty-emotional women yet. That would explain a lot. I just don't believe she was that upset, or that putting her through that again would make them particularly cruel or unfeeling. —anobody |

Well I'll take the gentleman's bet. I say they either discontinue it for at least the first week, and perhaps indefinitely. There's definitely a lot of cross-pollenation going on. Didn't notice before how much Adam was influenced by Stern, but if you listen for it, it's staggering. I don't think it's all one-sided, though. Yeah I always forget Adam was on Stern's show all the time. I guess he knew what he was doing getting up early to do it; obviously it paid off in him suceeding Stern on the West Coast.

I think I know what you mean, about that type, kinda like they "like" to cry. If she is like that then maybe it will happen a lot. I just thought she was pretty upset, but I could be wrong. —TonyInPortland |

Sunday, August 20, 2006 at 9:33 PM Well I'll take the gentleman's bet. I say they either discontinue it for at least the first week, and perhaps indefinitely. Can't wait to see. Yeah I always forget Adam was on Stern's show all the time. I guess he knew what he was doing getting up early to do it; obviously it paid off in him suceeding Stern on the West Coast. Yeah. Slightly OT but I love that he always talks about how lazy he is (considering that he's working constantly). I think I know what you mean, about that type, kinda like they "like" to cry. If she is like that then maybe it will happen a lot. I just thought she was pretty upset, but I could be wrong. Can't say for sure but I did get the impression that she was that type (guess we'll get a better idea in the next few weeks). well teresa strasser gets a pass because of her childhood That is a good article (does seem that she deserved to win). —anobody |

Slightly OT but I love that he always talks about how lazy he is (considering that he's working constantly). Haha, I know, like why did he do that movie, all he did was complain about all the work, but it was his choice to do it. well teresa strasser gets a pass because of her childhood That is a good article (does seem that she deserved to win). Really? I guess I am biased because I hate her, but it was really hard to read, all those paragraphs. I guess she has a journalist's background, huh? Can't remember what award she won, I guess it was some religious or Jewish thing since it kept going back to Judiasm. But she should have done like Adam always says, punish the parent who married the nutcase. Why give your dad a free pass for putting you through such an ordeal all those years? —TonyInPortland |

Yeah, I believe she has an undergrad degree in journalism, she's worked as a columnist and she was a writer for Win Ben Stein's Money. Can't remember what award she won, I guess it was some religious or Jewish thing since it kept going back to Judiasm. Nothing religious (think that was just for imagery and background, anyway). I thought it was something bigger but looks like it was just the Los Angeles Press Club Columnist of the Year and Best News Feature for the evil stepmother article (must just be brain damage on my part). But she should have done like Adam always says, punish the parent who married the nutcase. Why give your dad a free pass for putting you through such an ordeal all those years? Now that is a good point. Also, I disagree with goo321 - her childhood explains why she acts how she acts, but doesn't excuse it. —anobody |

Saturday, August 26, 2006 at 10:29 PM What, neither Tad, Adam, nor Brian cried!? How is it possible! Surely it is such a traumatic experience, being chosen by your peers for such a dubious honor, I am amazed. They must not be human. —TonyInPortland |

Saturday, August 26, 2006 at 11:15 PM I'm not sure anyone would claim that being emotionally volatile makes you more human. The bitches were pretty lame (hopefully they'll get back into gear in a week or two; if not, the bit will probably just wither away and die). —anobody |

Saturday, August 26, 2006 at 11:23 PM At any rate you won the bet, at least so far, since they did it. Although it hardly counts since she had immunity, but it certainly sounds like they are going to continue it in coming weeks. I was just kidding with the "must not be human" comment. It was sorta cool to see Adam get a few, although they were mostly not serious complaints. I bet if there was truly an annoymous way to do it, he would get some serious ones though. I doubt he is great to work for, especially if you are Lin | |
