Adam Carolla’s “pirate ship” gives him carte blanche to say almost anything he wants.
He comedian turned podcaster He has created a broadcasting empire that he calls the shots on. You can’t cancel someone who is his own boss. That means he doesn’t get lionized by corporate media or swallow progressive narratives like the pandemic hype and the Russian collusion hoax.
He is also willing to call out a professional colleague when he strays from the right path.
That’s what Carolla did this week, with the help of his longtime radio partner. Dr. Drew Pinsky.
Former “Loveline” hosts shared why HBO star Bill Maher He cannot be trusted on the most important issue in the political world.
Donald J. Trump.
The pair denounced Maher’s descent into Trump Derangement Syndrome and its many tentacles. Specifically, how Maher convinced himself that Trump’s number one adversary does not suffer from a dementia-like illness.
We’ve all seen countless examples of Biden’s decline, from wordy speeches to his often frozen face. It’s sad but obvious, and it took the president’s live meltdown at the June 27 debate to force detractors like Maher to admit the obvious.
It didn’t have to be this way, Carolla and Dr. Pinsky argued.
“Because of Trump’s madness, people like Bill Maher have lost their common sense,” Carolla said. “They are smart, analytical guys who have huge blind spots and they lost control… [CNN’s] Wolf Blitzer and Anderson Cooper and all the ladies of ‘The View’ have given up their credibility because of their blindness.”
“They cannot control themselves and they are not aware of it,” he continued.[Maher] lost his ability to think clearly on this issue.”
“Yeah, yeah,” Dr. Pinsky chimed in. Both stars have known Maher for some time and probably consider him a friend, it’s worth noting.
To demonstrate its criticism of Maher, “The Adam and Dr. Drew Show” played a clip from “Real Time with Bill Maher” in which the host discusses Biden’s apparent decline.
Maher deconstructs several of Biden’s recent failures to argue that they are not as serious as the president’s detractors suggest.
“Democrats have to find a way to communicate that [Biden] “He’s mentally there,” Maher said on his HBO show, ending the embarrassing twist.
Carolla and Dr. Pinsky were not amused.
“People have been compromised because of their Trump syndrome and their narcissism,” he said of Maher and others who view the former president through an extreme and comically warped lens.
That lens shattered into a thousand pieces after the June 27 debate, in which Biden appeared fragile and mentally confused.
Suddenly, Maher’s TDS improved, to a degree. He renewed his call for The DNC will replace Biden, and fast.
There is still one patient with Trump disorder whom Carolla has not denounced. He may never do so, at least publicly.
Jimmy Kimmel’s TDS is as strong as any in the celebrity world. He has transformed “Jimmy Kimmel Live” into a platform for the Democratic National Convention, complete with Maher-style denial about the current Commander in Chief.
However, Carolla never calls out Kimmel, probably because of their long-standing bond. Kimmel helped Carolla boost his career in the 1990s by inviting him onto his morning show on KROQ.
Carolla created indelible characters like Mr. Birchum, now a DailyWire+ animated series, for Kimmels’ radio broadcasts. The opportunity allowed the former carpenter to work steadily in show business.
The pair got along well before and after speaking on the mic, and later created “The Man Show” and “Crank Yankers” for Comedy Central. Their professional relationship endures and Carolla has only warm things to say about his faithful friend.
The podcaster has the power to share Kimmels’ experience on TDS, but he chooses not to.
