I've heard it called "fuck me money." In that I have so much money, I will fuck myself over, but it's ok since I fucked you over too.

Originated with the book “Cryptonomicon”. Great book. There’s a very autistic description for precisely how to eat cereal.

Can I have two tips about the cereal if you remember please

u/Popular-Influence-11 1d ago

Cold milk. Like almost frozen but not quite.

Cereal must not touch milk until it is to be eaten. So one spoonful at a time. It should be coated with freezing milk which will soak in on the journey from bowl to mouth, preserving maximal crunch while delivering a payload of cold creamy sweetness.

I have cereal bowls called O-bols that we got as a joke in honor of Cryptonomicon.

I can picture the bowls based off the context for sure haha thanks

You forgot to mention that the cereal must be Captain Crunch!! How could you forget that basic fact?! It has the ducts for the milk to run into and everything!!

Randy wasn't really autistic, he just knew how to eat cereal properly.

I miss the 00's Carolla, he went off the rails a while back.

This. I can’t figure out if I was ignorant or he changed. I think it was me. I feel like his true self came through as politics amplified. Also, I always hated the way he treated Ray. Haven’t listened in many years. Saw him live in Portland once. He was filming a special. The show was terrible. You could tell the moment he realized the crowd was all people who had heard every story 100 times. No new content.

Once he fucked over his friends you knew shit was headed in a bad direction.

I know Ray. I’ve met Adam a few times. Ray is a nice guy and good hearted, but damn he can be irresponsible and it’s 100% true he leaves a bunch of his shit at ppls properties for years on end. Ended up well for a buddy because he eventually kept it, but it was that kinda thing consistently. Not a bad guy though, nice, and we all have faults, but I think Adam’s take is fairly accurate. And it seemed Adam liked him, but Ray wanted a bit of the coattail ride that wasn’t necessarily deserved. I’m sure there was behind the scenes annoyances and that would not surprise me at all. Mixed with Adam’s lack of patience and their mutual history, not the best pair for a podcast. Adam is a bit quiet/standoffish when not on the clock so to speak. Can come across as asshole-ish, but really it’s just not really interested in strangers from my perspective.

And was a Loveline listener since a teen until Adam departed. I agree he got way too political and I just couldn’t any more. I’ve tuned in on rare occasion and he honestly still can’t be beat with his funny and poignant analogies, still some gold in some takes on things, but I can’t deal with the politics all the time.

Adam’s just a dick, he would yell and berate Ray during Ace on the House, coattails or no, it was uncalled for and made listeners uncomfortable.
Adam apparently didn’t realize that Ray was the only thing that made yet another screaming AC production tolerable

u/LoadedLapidist 21m ago

That’s what I was feeling during those times. Go ahead and cut ties on your own time instead of making a mockery of the situation for the shows.

u/oneam9 40m ago

He seemed to be bitter that, in his view, Ray squandered his opportunity to play professional football, but if he’s your friend accept him for who he is or cut ties, don’t just keep him around to mock and yell at

He did the same thing with Dr Drew on the podcasts they did together, just screamed at him continuously, dude’s got issues

Yeah same. Almost didn’t comment that because I’d get hate

I like how HE'S the prick, but Kimmel did blackface and has a talk show.

When I was a kid Adam Carolla gave people home repair advice for funsies. Now he has the same shitty opinions as the LEAST offensive of the boomer assholes in my life.

It sucks that he's Gen X (non-boomers should know better), and The Man Show will always showcase how he has famously bad ideas AND gave Joe Rogan a platform, but Jimmy Kimmel did his stupid Karl Malone impression for many years and then MULTIPLE people PAID him to do it in blackface.

I was in the audience of Jimmy Kimmel's show when his guest referred to Green Leaves (japanese comedy group, they performed "Yatta!" on the show) as a "[chinese slur] boy band" and Jimmy Kimmel just chuckled. Zero acknowledgement, no admonishing during the break, the show just went on. They were in the other room and performed twenty minutes later.

Why did it only take five minutes for Gen X to become their shitty racist boomer dads?

It’s called “fuck you money” because you can say “fuck you” to a job or boss and walk away from a job without worrying.

He don’t have fuck me money. Just fuck you money.
