dunno how this impacts her shows on the carolla network. have a feeling she's out completely, as her Thursday show would be awkward, considering it's all Carolla's minions sitting around playing grab-ass and suddenly she's not part of the big-show.

Damn, gotta get up early 'round here.

No surprise Carolla being a dick about this or anything, it's his default mode.

Guess he prefers a pair of tits who will suck his dick after every rant (who wouldn't):

Gina Grad is the new news girl (for now), she filled in for Rosen previously:

What the fuck?

Wonder if it has anything to do with her trying to get pregnant.

Cant wait to hear Alison's side

He doesn't say much beyond repeating what Ed_from_Lisle noted about her not being "sidekick material"....so no sign-off or goodbye.

I doubt any single event precipitated her departure; Carolla probably didn't like her subtly challenging/mocking him regularly and was looking for the right time to cut her loose and bring in someone more "yes, and"-y.

I dont think so.

When does Alison ever mock or challenge him? She's pretty agreeable. I cant think of one argument they ever had


I'd bet anything it has to do with her requesting more money or time off for the pregnancy.


Or maybe Alison wanted to leave and do her own thing.


I didnt care much for Gina when she filled in. I dont think Im gonna like it long term

due to health care costs? Not sure, but I don't think Carolla provides health insurance for any of his staff. Apparently the podcast doesn't net any money; which is why the patent pirates fucked off. Carolla's using the podcast to promote his live shows and mangria. might get a trickle from all the ad spots, but a lot of those are based on click-thrus/actual sales and not just Adam name-checking them on the podcast. Tho the Amazon affiliate thing actually works really well.

Or her taking time off for dr's appts and such? or just annoyed with her mildly bi-polar behavior of late, esp since her lil dog got eaten by a big dog.

Dr Drew and Adam's wives both ended up getting pumped full of fertility drugs to be able to have kids later in life--and both ended up with twins or triplets for the effort.

Yeah, I dont know. It being the beginning of the year, Im sure they had discussions about salary, etc.


Reading Twitter though a lot of the Rosen hardcore fans think she was unhappy being on the show.


I think her, Bryan and Adam are a perfect mix. My favorite shows are the ones without guests because Bryan and Alison become the guests

oh well


Bryan is funny as hell, btw. Id listen to his podcast if it were free.

eh, wait till you hear Gina today. She slobbers all over every point Adam makes: "You're the only person in the history of the world I've heard make such a brilliant observation." Quite a contrast to Alison.





hmm, could be. they all say money's the only thing that adam really pays attention to and when he's had rifts that
led to peeps being shown the door of the podcast warehouse (Donnie wanting a piece of the biz or Ray with his "give me a check today" request or his dad's podcast unable to generate any revenue) it's been over money.

Yeah, was thinking of the Donnie thing recently with the old Ace Awards being played.


I think maybe part of the reason I loved Carolla is that Bryan and Alison arent puppets. They dont argue every point, but they arent Robin Quivers either


Sounds like Gina is gonna go the Robin route

Alison addresses the issue briefly as a grafted on prologue to her latest ARIYNBF podcast. She sounds generic notes about a wonderful 4 years and being excited for the future--she's leaving Carolla's crew completely, but taking her podcast with her (new amazon affiliate links).

Was her podcast getting too popular?

The hypocrisy.
Ace not letting a fan favorite say goodbye.
Then ten minutes later goes into a story about letting a Fan favorite DJ say goodbye at the old radio station.
Most days, I listen to the first segment, fast forward the guest and go straight to the new with Alison. Today was bad.

Was Theresa Strasser an Adam Cheerleader?

Yeah, he's a Caller Bob. I read his comments. If they are true, then he should have no problem letting her say goodbye

Maybe he sees her as competition?

I don't remember much about her. I actually stopped listening when Strasser was added to the show because I didn't care for her, I gave it a try again when AR was on (I loved her schtick that was clearly ripping Strasser with the 'what I'd expect if I were expecting' book).

I think Adam wants a cheerleader.

Remember that clip of her yelling A-DAM and the crowd going CA-ROLL-UH? I couldnt see Alison doing that.


Ya know what else is weird? Alison is clearly left leaning but she was on Carolla and FoxNews

on a podcast?

Kinda odd.

He knew he was going to fire her when this was taken

Here we are...she was gaining on him!

Swing and a miss

This Alison girl is also cuter than those two as well, so let's not leave that out, MidlothBrian.

agree on the cheerleader thing, and can't really blame him. sounds like he takes shit at home from his wife and family and his friends and in the press, having a booby-bimbo sit across from him for a couple hours a day and tell him he's the greatest is his prerogative--spoils of his pirate plunder. #walktheplank Alison.

re: foxnews, i think Alison was only ever on RedEye? and that was back when it (well, Greg Gutfeld) wasn't as popular and so Gutfeld often had somewhat outside the Faux News box guests.

The RedEyes I've caught more recently usually have Andy L hosting and some other daytime fox hosts as guests.

No she's not


And btw, this thing where you attach a different suburb to my name because you think I like being called rogers park bryan (because it's tough sounding or something) is ridiculous. Rogers park is not tough or bad ass. Its no more dangerous than the places I grew up. I dont know why you hang on that. when I signed up I lived there and had called into mjh as rogers park bryan. that's it.

Just jokes man. My bad.

Alison and Theresa would prolly be a draw, tho Alison'd win due to personality/being younger.

But Gina Grad walks in the room and you'd forget either of them existed:
