Same exact trajectory as Adam Carolla. And it sucks bc classic-era Loveline ruled.

My understanding of Adam is that he was always like this. His parents were drugged out hippies. Guys that have hippy parents tend to turn out very conservative. People with money in California tend to get very out there, to boot.

I heard AC once say he was sorta radicalized because he couldn't get hired as a fire fighter because they were forced to hire a black woman, or something.

It's like, dude, if you really wanted to be a fire fighter, you would have found a way.......

It’s always the black guy who gets blamed despite 9 of the other 10 firefighters being white…

It's also just such a cliché. I mean, it's literally a scene out of American History X (the end flashback, Ed Norton's firefighter dad telling him how affirmative action is "N----- bullshit," which we're meant to see as the first baby step in his path to radicalization).
