My Leader Talks Directly to Me

I will embrace change by blogging more in the future.  But I’ve made that promise before.  So, good luck to me on that.

My Leader Is Making Me Watch Horrible Television Again

Once again Adam Carolla has signed on to do mind-numbing D-List celebrity reality show.  Four years ago it was Dancing with the Stars (as decried here)and now it’s Celebrity Apprentice.  As I prayed last time, please let him be the first voted off whore island.

I may have to seek out a new leader.

Do Yourself and The Aceman a Favor

Subscribe to the Adam Carolla Podcast.

Adam wants to beat Ricky Gervais (who just so happens to be a foreigner, so you know what that means) as the most subscribed to podcast.

I’m not asking you to listen.  I mean, why would you want to double over in laughter for 90 minutes every day?

It’s a free podcast.  So it costs you nothing to turn back the British scourge.

Why He's My Leader



Since the Adam Carolla Show was ridiculously canceled back in February, I have had to listen to his show archives. Beginning with his first shows in January of 2006, I have made my way to September 1, 2006. It was on this day that Adam had one of his most popular rants ever.

If you do listen to it, be warned, it is 30 minutes long. And it starts out slowly with Adam interviewing a 500 lbs woman whose husband was having sex with her daughter right in front of her. The interview picks up steam when the woman's other daughter and the daughter's boyfriend get on the phone. Essentially, this is Green Acres meets Idiocracy.

Well maybe this was his most popular rant ever.

My Leader's New Podcast

Not wanting to lose contact with his devout followers, like me, and because he can't get enough of his nasally drone, Adam Carolla has started a daily podcast. The first day a quarter of million people downloaded it. Or maybe it was me downloading it a quarter of a million times. Either way, you can't prove it.

But you can give him a try here.

DVD Review: The Hammer

This is why my leader was on Dancing with the Stars. He was on to promote this movie, which was in limited release (mostly just the cities his morning drive-time radio show can be heard).

I have to admit I was a little worried about the quality of this movie. Although it got great reviews on Rotten Tomatoes and Ebert & Roeper gave it Two Thumbs Up, I've seen The Man Show. Adam Carolla, while fantastic on the radio ranting about everyday annoyances, he's a stiff on camera.

Well, he's improved a little. But no one will mistake him for Alec Baldwin when it comes to great comedic acting.

But despite his limited acting ability, this is still a funny, sweet romantic comedy. That's right. I said romantic comedy.

This is the semi-autobiographical story of Jerry Ferro (Carolla) who, on his 40th birthday loses both his job and his girlfriend. While coaching a boxing class at a local gym, he finds his way out of rock bottom. He meets a new woman and he begins working his way up the armature ranks to make the US Olympic boxing team. OK, maybe a little unbelievable. But he's got a really good left.

By the way, it was while working as a boxing instructor at the gym this movie was filmed (where he was also a handyman) that Adam met Jimmy Kimmel. From that meeting he would go on to host Loveline and The Man Show and is now, as he'll tell you often, literally a millionaire.

In a world of craphole movies like Don't Mess with the Zohan and The Love Guru, why couldn't a movie like this get a wider release? It may not rise to the level of a Sideways, Juno or Little Miss Sunshine. But it is still a worthy indie comedy.
