Funny Old Podcast with Adam Carolla and Norm MacDonald
— Ace

I linked a clip of these guys explaining Kenny Roger's horrifying "Coward of the County" earlier in the week.

Another funny bit from this same show is a woman calling in to explain her "sexceptions list," a list of five people her husband has agreed she could sleep with should she ever get the chance. On her her list are people like Brad Pitt, George Clooney, and Ben Affleck. Her husband's list is more... practical-minded, and she doesn't understand why he's "wasting" his list by filling it with "lame" picks like "the girl from the Safeway deli counter, the girl at the gym with the big boobs..."

But the whole show is funny. If you've got something to do while you play it in the background, I'd just go ahead and play all ten parts, starting with this one. It's about 100 minutes total, something like that.

This is from before the 2008 election, and they also both signal they're dislike of Obama. They don't talk much about it, and it's tentative and not flame-throwing like actual red-meat conservatives would give you, but it's nice to hear someone in entertainment not digging Obama before not digging Obama was cool.

Funny stuff. Bear in mind it's unrated and there's a lot of cursing and some sex talk in there.

15 Always been congenitally challenged when it comes to spotting what's "cool", but it's always easy to spot the line to board the cool train. Kinda like high speed rail in that respect (or lack there of)

Speaking of that it just barely below freezing here.

I would say the almost 40 minute gap between these indicates where it got taken down and theat the prior comments were fully restored.

23 I hated Obama back in 04 and 05, when in my "political bias in journalism" class (and yeah it was left wing as shit), every fucking day we were greeted with his smiling mug it seemed even though he wasn't even running. Every day another fluff piece on him, and the school admin was putting up Obama for pres stickers in 05. So I can say without a single shred of hyperbole I hated Obama first, before any of you.

Posted by: Mr Pink at January 07, 2012 11:09 AM (g3AWH)

24 I listened to the "Coward of the County" analysis twice it was so hilarious. Made me wonder if there was some behind the scenes rift between Kenny and the Gatlin Brothers.

For the first few months Obama was included on the list of possible 2008 candidates, I thought Barack Obama was Kwesi Mfume.

I just listened to the Kenny Rogers link...

I shit you not, ace, I had this conversation with my best friend in 1994. I had a copy of this in my car while we were on a road trip. He remarked on the presence of a KR tape in my rig and I threw it in...he proceeded to tell me how this was his favorite song when he was little, because his sister's name was Becky.

He hadn't listened to it since he was like seven or so.

Needless to say, that was how we got on the very same subject as he had no idea the song was, in part, about a rape of a girl named 'Becky'.

Congratulations. (I don't even mean that sarcastically).

33 If Becky were born before 1970 this would never have happened.

Anyone know where I can find this on podcast?

BTW, some historical trivia on the Kenny Rogers song. Way back when people read newspapers, the top 10 songs of the week were listed in small type in the Sunday entertainment section. Since the list came off the wire, I guess the editors never proofed it. For weeks, "Coward of the County" appeared as "Coward of the Country," which made the protagonist sound even smaller than Rogers intended.

35 I've hated Obama since Baby Born Alive legislation in Illinois. I was calling him evil before most of the D-rats in my family knew who he was.

It's not a short story or a fable, it's a song. A song with a catchy little tune.

I mean, was he sitting around one day thinking of rape and thought HEY! What great subject matter for a song!?

51 I hate to tell you this, but when Adam was still on the air, and I was listening to the podcasts of his radio show, he was pulling for Obama. One caller asked him why he wasn't supporting McCain, given his (for Hollywood) conservative positions. Adam made it quite clear he was voting for Obama.

He did always make clear that he didn't think electing Obama was going to change a damn thing. So at least he didn't buy into the Hope and Change personality cult.

59 Hell - the Sean Hannity theme song is about a woman cheerfully going off to prison for burning the shit out of the guy who raped her for the sake of her daughter. With a chorus that simply begs to finish with "This Bud's For You."
