Sunday, December 16, 2007 at 8:17 PM Those of you who hang at Goatbased--they cover it pretty well over there. Evidence: He missed most of last week. DB had his contract extended--no word on Ace's. He missed the live event for the Ace awards of his show. Still found time to call Drew even though he was "sick." there's some talk about it on his own web board. They've started a petition: http://adamcarolla.15.forumer.com/index.php?showtopic=9497 —bguirk |

Sunday, December 16, 2007 at 8:26 PM Edited Sunday, December 16, 2007 at 8:27 PM Why would Ace call into Drew's show but not his own? I'm not 100% on this, but I'm about 80%. The timing is exactly right--the show's on hiatus until Jan 2 and Ace hasn't been renewed to our knowledge. edit--that's where my 20% comes in ano. All hope is not lost (if you like the show) but it doesn't look good. —bguirk |

Sunday, December 16, 2007 at 8:32 PM Shit... I have mixed feelings about this. I would be sad for Adam if his show got cancelled. But then again, I would love for him to go back to Loveline. I rarely listen to TACS, only because I don't get up in the morning. I just want Adam on the radio. That man was born to do radio! —acm323 |

Sunday, December 16, 2007 at 8:32 PM I'll buy it as a negotiation tactic, but I find it hard to believe that he'd actually get kicked out.... of course, that doesn't mean he wouldn't leave if he was horribly unhappy with things. This does make it tempting to call Jack Silver tomorrow though (it can be a new annual tradition). —anobody |

Sunday, December 16, 2007 at 8:52 PM Someone pointed this out on the official TACS forum [Adam under his breath on Drew's show after saying he's on the mend] "we'll see how I feel tomorrow" [Drew laughs nervously] That certainly does make you wonder. [of course... so much speculation about this is totally retarded] —anobody |

Sunday, December 16, 2007 at 9:23 PM Unfortunately I agree. Just a fantasy, but would be nice to think that he's got enough eff-you money socked away and enough other projects to support him that he could just say "screw this" to Jack Silver and join Drew on his new AM show. —anobody |

Sunday, December 16, 2007 at 10:20 PM Not necessarily fantasy. Stryker never seemed to really be into Loveline, at least when he started on the show. Rushing the callers and kissing Drew's ass and asking him inappropriate questions. I think he'd be more comfortable playing music than talking about guys who have problems with girls, problems he's most likely never experienced personally. The thing I always enjoyed listening to Adam and Drew about is I knew they were speaking from a lot of experience and they could relate to the callers pretty well, at least, better than Stryker seems to be able to. When TF called in, all he contributed to the answer was busting her balls about not being prepared with the name of what BC pill she was taking. At least she wasn't drunk for a whole show, you colossal ass!

Sunday, December 16, 2007 at 10:59 PM ano makes a lot more sense than you do Drake. I'm now down to 60% sure Ace has done his last TACS. If he is off I'd love it if they somehow did Loveline in the morning and kicked everyone's ass (total pipedream). —bguirk |

Monday, December 17, 2007 at 3:21 PM Prediction: ADAM IS COMING BACK TO LOVELINE. Danny could never stand being second fiddle to anyone, he is too nutty and talkative. Like when I was on Ano's show, it was 70% me talking and 30% ano. —John Lennon |

Monday, December 17, 2007 at 4:08 PM I'm sure this will make you happy, Drake - I tried calling Jack Silver three times today, haven't been able to get through, and he's not returning my calls. Three seems like enough attempts for me. I'm not gonna post the direct number here, but if anyone else cares to try, you can reach him by calling the station's main number (323-971-9710) then asking the woman at the front desk for him and then when she patches you through to his assistant, ask him if you can speak with him (hopefully you'll have more luck than I did this time). —anobody |

Monday, December 17, 2007 at 4:08 PM Someone should make a thread with a title to get Lynette's attention just in case she's lurking around. I'm sure she wouldn't drop a bomb shell on here, but maybe give us something. —miyagi-sama |

Monday, December 17, 2007 at 9:34 PM this post from the unOficial Adam board is about where I'm at for the moment: Well, the adam carolla website is still up, but with the link to the message board removed. I'll bet 10-1 that "they" simply decided the board was bad for business or something and decided to discontinue it. I'm not sure this means he is gone. Why would they modify his website and delete the board? If he was gone then they would deleate his website period.
Obviously something is going on. I'd love to get word from someone in the know as to what it is. TACS had gotten better and I had gotten used to the formula, but I'd have as much chance of liking Adam on a new show as I do with the current one. I don't exactly like what it would say about Ace's career if LeykisFM decides that Danny is a better draw than our beloved Loveline pal, but I have a feeling Danny will never eclipse Kevin & Bean or Mark & Bryan in that market so whatever. —bguirk |

He did respond to an email (though only "be patient" in response to a meandering paragraph inquiring about whether Adam was coming back or not, and "si" in response to "was Adam really sick those last two days?" terse little bastard). —anobody |
