i talked with adam carolla yesterday July 23rd, 2008
yeah- it was pretty great. i was at work on tuesday, listening to the adam carolla show, as i always do- and they did a segment called “how say you?” where people can just call in about whatever.
so i did. and i got on the phone with the man. i told him that i too am a carpenter, and that i too want to get in to doing radio talk, and he told me that i should go down to one of the local stations and just see what i can get as far as work- answering the phones, doing carpentry stuff, whatever. he said that was how he got started in the business. (we also discussed possible ways of committing suicide on the construction site, due to working alone for too long) if you want to hear the 5 minute section of the show, you can try and download it HERE but i’m not sure if that will work…
anyway, that’s what i’m gonna try to do. i’m also going to centerpoint for an orientation to their career counseling services this evening, and trying to get my stupid computer fixed, so it will be an eventful night.
i figure i might as well try to get something going on the radio- i think would be good at it. i’ll keep you posted.
ok, i’ve been watching a LOT of movies lately, and July 12th, 2008
i just HAVE to tell you about this limited release movie called The Hammer. It stars Adam Carolla (here is a youtube of him hanging up on ann coulter. [rated PG 13] ha.)
anyway, the Hammer rules. mel and i watched it, and, although she claims to only like it 25% as much as i did, i liked it a full 278%, so that’s still pretty good.
here is a link to the hammer website. check it out.
i listen to this guy Carolla every morning at work. yeah, it’s the guy who used to do “love line” and “the man show”. those were both ok, i guess, but i DIG the radio show. plus, i’m lonely at work and i like to pretend that we are friends and hanging out talking with interesting funny people (depressing).
so- rent this thing. here’s the deal- he’s a carpenter in the movie, who decides to re-enter the world of boxing after quitting his job. the thing is- he was actually a carpenter and boxer (for real) in his earlier days, so that makes the movie that much better.
i laughed a lot. i drank 2 giant beers. it was great.
