Improv is kinda like sushi. It’s either incredibly tasty, or it gives you the trots. There’s no in-between.My skills are pretty strong, but I can’t hold a candle to Adam Carolla, pound for pound the fastest gun in the west. I already gushed about his film; the desire to see it came from my increasing love of his morning radio show.
After being hooked on Howard Stern for 23 years, I never thought I’d never see the day in which my tastes began to drift elsewhere. But the enormous contract Howard signed with Sirius has gradually elevated him out of touch with his listeners. It’s not his fault– he’s just no longer the angry, honest man he once was. 500 mil will render you both content and protective of your A-list lifestyle.
Adam, meanwhile, is the kind of guy who buys his refrigerator at Sears after hitting the drive-thru for an Egg McMuffin. He’s an everyman. And that makes for amazing, down-to-earth rants. He lives to bitch, in hilarious form. Take, for example, his “This Week in Rage” segment, which is described as an “ass-full of various issues that get under Adam’s skin.” Including why bed and breakfasts suck, the sin that The Road Warrior is never on cable or why an Egg McDonald's stops serving breakfast at 10:30 a.m.
Though his show is broadcast here in L.A., now, thanks to the Interweb, anyone can listen to it online. Which in fact is a better way to listen, because the commercials are edited out and the four-hour show is condensed to 2 ½ hours that run on a loop all day (excluding the hours the show is on live.)
Go pee first. You’re not gonna want to miss a minute before clicking below:
