Why Aren't You Listening to Adam Carolla's Podcast?

Seriously, what's wrong with you? Adam Carolla is the smartest person on the planet, and he's funny too.

For the ignorant of you, Adam Carolla was the "other guy" on The Man Show. He was the skinny, taller, more Italian guy who worked alongside Jimmy Kimmel. He was never funny on that show, but that's because he's awfully suited for television.

His radio persona is a completely different story. He was on Loveline with Dr. Drew for a decade, and made anyone who came within reach of hearing his voice bow down to his glory. I know I did.

There's not much funny to this post, but it's rather more of a public service announcement because people need to be listening to his new podcast. It's been up and running for a few months now and it's completely free. The only thing he's asking in return is that his fans go out and get more people to listen. He loves doing it, and with the only motivation being the number of listeners (he's #1 on itunes for comedy podcasts), he's definitely legit.

So get in the game and begin listening to him. He is way more awesome than you: LISTEN HERE

It's Not A Small World

All the time, I hear people saying, once they realize that someone they know knows someone they know, "it's a small world!"

No, it's not a small world. Not at all.

Just because you can go to some get-together and run into someone who has met someone you are related to doesn't mean the world is getting smaller, it means that communication functionality is getting better and better.

The reason why everybody and their mother knows everyone in today's world is that they're integrating themselves in all sorts of new types of interactive social web sites. I mean, obviously.

Have you ever tried walking somewhere before? Walking is hard, and doing it takes forever. The other day I tried walking to my friend's house, which is a couple blocks away, and it took forever.


Exhausted at arrival, I sat down and recollected on my weary travels, and couldn't help but feel like I had really accomplished something. If I could travel this far on my own on foot, what else could I do? Could I go to the grocery store? Could I even go to Best Buy?

Yeah, I could, but that would be stupid because I have a car that I can drive in, which gets me there a lot quicker.

But that doesn't mean that the amount traveled is any less, it's just easier to get there. The same goes with your stupid theories on the world getting smaller. Just because something is easier to accomplish using today's tools doesn't mean it's easier to do in general.

Your relative perception is just skewed, and that is what's contributing to your douchebaggy small-talk rhetoric (but it's not the only thing).

L is I (l vs I), Writing in CAPS, and the Cursive G

I wish the letters L and I didn't look so damn similar in so many types of font.

Why do some people not put serifs on their I's? When you go to Chicago, are you traveling to lllinois? No, because that looks like three of the same letter.

Also, what's the deal with people who write completely in caps lock? What the hell is wrong with you? It's obviously not saving you any time to do so, so why bother? I feel like half the country never bothered to pay attention in first grade.

And then there are some people who seemingly paid too much attention, like the freaks who write completely in cursive all the time. I hate you. None of us are impressed by your handwriting skillz. Get over yourself and realize that writing a capital g like this:


is retarded and takes long to write and it looks stupid and I still hate you. I don't even understand how that's supposed to be a G.

It looks like a damn rollercoaster.
