If you like funny, you need this show on your iPod subscription list. It’s free and its worth your time.
I am huge fan of the Adam Carolla podcast. I am not alone. It was the #1 podcast of 2009 from iTunes. If you have not listened, it is funny, he has on interesting people and guests from walks of entertainment that you might not see on network TV or mainstream cable.
As of June of 2010, the podcast has taken on a new feel. It is now called the “Adam Carolla Show” (not podcast). Why? Bald Bryan is now fully engaged with the sound drops. Teresa is sitting in more than once a week. The shows are going longer than 1 hour. Most are hitting the 1.5 mark. Love it.
Adam has a circle of friends that appear on the show or have their own shows (or other showbiz stuff). It is an all-a-around entertaining world.
Jimmy Kimmel – He is the most mainstream of all the crew. He has the late night TV show and was Adam’s partner on the Man Show (and don’t forget Crank Yankers). Jimmy hosts many friends (including Adam) at his house on Sundays to eat, drink, and watch football. There are many funny stories from the sunday game watching (one of which involves Tom Cruise stopping by with his mother).
Dr. Drew – Adam was working in Radio and better know for his Loveline show with Dr. Drew (Radio, but for a period of time there was an MTV version). Dr. Drew still does Loveline on Radio, but also has worked on “Celebrity Rehad” and “Sex Rehab” on VH1. For more info on all projects, visit the website.
Joel McHale – You know Joel from The Soup. Funny and entertaining. Joel and Adam are joined by their love of fine autos. Joel is up and coming and is part of “Community” on NBC and will be in a movie with Matt Damon. Joel McHale everyone!!!!
Seth McFarlane – Who is Seth McFarlane? …only the creator of the funniest show on TV (Family Guy). Seth has been on the podcast a few times. Very interesting guy. His brand of no-holds-barred parody and jokes on Family Guy are pioneering (I now find the Simpons boring). Adam plays the Death character on Family Guy which was originally played by Norm McDonald (here is an unofficial site. Probably because Norm gambles all night and too lazy to maintain a website.)
Bill Simmons – in sports terms, Bill is mainstream but will appear mainly on the page 2 world of ESPN. Bill Simmons also does a podcast that can be found on iTunes (The BS Report). He puts a funny spin on sports and culture. Simmons lives in the LA area and was recently seen on Kenny Maynes web short (Mayne Street). For the matter, Adam Carolla was in an episode too.
Dave Dameshek – Dave was a the sports person on the Adam Carolla show when they replaced Howard Stern (west coast) on 97.3 in Los Angeles. Dave still does sports in podcast form and had a brief run with ESPN Radio.
Teresa Strasser – Lovely T. I have a distant crush on Teresa. Sadly she is married now and I have been married all the while. So, no dice. Teresa is smart and super funny with a healthy dose of insecurity and vulnerability that makes her very likeable. Her website is currently devoted to her recent childbirth and being a new parent.
Bald Bryan – Bryan was the sound effects sidekick for Adam on the radio Loveline (with Dr. Drew) but is currently not working and battling a brain tumor. You can read about his life on his blog. Bryan is witty and his skill with sound drops is unbelievable.
Jay Leno – Adam and Jay share a love of cars. Jay has appeared on the “CarCast” podcast that Adam does every week. If you like cars too, visit Jays garage.
If you have not yet jumped on the podcasting train, you should do so. It’s free. Just find them on iTunes, subscribe and fill up your iPod for commutes or long trips. Or whatever you do.
PS. If you don’t have an iPod, you can get the 8GB for $200.
