I believe I go in phases when it comes to media. As of right now, I'm stuck on radio. After a few failed attempts, I finally got into the Adam Carolla Show. I started listening when the group included Danny Bonaduce, but now that he's gone I enjoy daily the hilarious contributions of Teresa Strasser and Bald Brian to the great rants of the Ace Man.
One of his familar jags involves how radio is a much more intimate experience. He's right. I've found that the days when they go on vacation and they play the "best of"( ie. reruns) I get sad because I'm not hearing new stories from my friends. Okay, that's a little pathetic. I'll admit it. But one thing I can claim with certainty: this show fills my comedian void.
After my birthday I proclaimed that I was going to see comedians as often as I could. That hasn't panned out as I planned. (Surprise! Surprise!) But at least I get to laugh my butt off every morning on the way to work. In fact, I've found that this show make me laugh percentage-wise more often than finely crafted shows done by professional comedians. Though I shouldn't give up and become a comedy snob again.
So if you haven't noticed already, my new obsession is Adam Carolla related. You can see it in eariler posts and you'll see it until a new obession fills my brain. (And if you want to undersatnd half my rants, I suggest you start to listen too.) Don't worry. It's only a matter of time. (Nawww....naw.)
