Two quick thoughts:
1. They seemed to be rather disingenuous to the "ocean is the future" guy on 4/30. I couldn't tell if they were buying in or making fun of or both.

2. Does anyone listen to any of the Lynette Carolla podcasts? Her voice sounds like she needs to smoke a little less and I've always found it odd that she does a parenting podcast when she has a nanny that takes care of her kids so she can spend her time following Bruce Springsteen for her other podcast.

Agreed. She does a parenting podcast? Is that the For Crying out Loud one?

I cant think of any human who is qualified to have a parenting show. Its not something you can master. Its constant learning.


Lynette seems annoying and like she probably cheats on Adam. (I suspect they have an open relationship though)

I've heard bits of Carolla's wife on other Carolla-associated podcasts, haven't listened to her podcast. Based on what I've heard and how Adam talks about her, Lynette Carolla seems like a vapid Caller Bob. The chick who's raising Carolla's children and watches movies and gets drunk on mangria on Saturday nights with Adam and the kids while Lynettes out at Halloween parties, Olga?, she should do a podcast, or at least go on Dr Drew's podcast without Adam.

Noticed that there are very few female voices on popular podcasts. Alison Rosen's bassier vocal register makes her an easier listen than, say, the other chick on the Thursday gang podcast.

The phony Sonny conversation at the beginning of today's podcast was uncomfortable listening. Hopefully that doesn't become a thing, unless Carolla's going to turn it into a comedy bit. Adam having a 7 or whatever year old kid speak/think exactly like Adam made for awkward radio.

re: seastead guy. I think the topic went over the heads of the rest of the gang besides Adam. Adam surrounds himself with folks less intelligent than he is. No idea where Alison Rosen went to high school/college, but she should get a refund, considering the simple things she doesn't know. And anytime a math problem pops up on the show, forget about it. Adam considers himself math-stupid and he's the only one who can do simple math. I guess Bald Bryan has an excuse, brain tumor and all. And Carolla himself brands the other guys derogatory nicknames like "Half-Tard" and "Full-Tard".

A concept the seasteading guy mentioned, "seastead states" bidding for residents, is starting to gain purchase with cities/states in the US. e.g., Detroit currently bribes/pays college graduates to move into the city. During the inchoate days of the internet, the thinking was that the internet would lead to a population dispersion--people could live anywhere, so they would spread out. it's had almost the opposite effect, especially for the high-tech/IT industry. Chicago keeps losing startups and tech companies to the west coast. It's not for lack of incentives, but for lack of IT/tech talent in Chicago. New tech companies in Chicago get to a certain stage and can't find qualified employees to grow, so they move to where the qualified employees are (SF/SV/west coast in general).

The idea of nuclear powerplants on the sea because it's safer sounds interesting, but the obvious question there isn't about earthquakes...after all, it wasn't the earthquake itself that caused the Japanese problem, but the tsunami... How do you tsunami-proof something on the water?

I always cringe when Adam makes his case for having a night nurse and how its better for the kid.


Yeah, those kids are Olga's for sure. Adam doesnt seem to even deny it that much.


Lynette's commericals alone are annoying as fuck. I dont care that some asshole had a ham sandwich with Bruce Springsteen
