How is this show not more talked about on GAF? This is good stuff so far.
Giving that he has a circumcision and a tipping video I'm surprised the thread isn't 100 pages long.

I know usually there would be a 100 page thread of people bashing each other over tipping

Adam did an interview about the show on another program, and one of the conclusions was that we can't necessarily escape the culture around us (like when Emily in the show says "... I still want that rock" even after learning about the origin of the engagement ring practice), but knowing more about it could give us the tools to engage and maybe start making those little shifts here and there.
I am so confused about what he's making fun of. Is he really some SF hipster who thinks cars are bad or is he making of those people? If all he wanted to do was to explain the origin of the term then maybe he should try some other approach.
He's criticizing the term like he says in the video.
In the rest of the episode, he argues that overdevelopment of highways + roads don't improve road conditions and rather implementing better public transportation methods with sidewalks and bike lanes. Some cities in this world reduced the number of car lanes to encourage that philosophy.
See the I-405 and how people were led to believe that adding more lanes to a highway would improve congestion at the cost of billions of tax money. Basically, the invention of the personal car killed city planning/development. Parking lots are just wasted space.
Harsh but true.
Good season finale.
FTFY.
Damn.
The entire episode was pretty great. All of it was pretty much just as heavy as the opening clip.
Adam looks exactly like someone else but I can't figure out who
help
really enjoy this series; Adam reminds me of younger, hipper Alton Brown.
So is the show really over?
He already did purebred dogs. It's on the college humour channel from before he got his show.For now.
There are still many topics left like purebred pets yet or how gifts can be a drain on the economy.

Ah okay. I've never actually watched the full episode, only the clips. I don't get trutv.I assume that was actually partly his point: they've recycled the College Humor videos for the show plenty of times and there is stuff still left to basically reshoot and frame around the show's narrative.
Hope he gets another season. He's surprisingly entertaining and informative.
Americans returned $260 billion in merchandise last year, up more than 66 percent from five years ago, according to the National Retail Federation. And a quarter of that was during the holiday season.
As e-commerce sales surge and free return shipping becomes the norm, shoppers are set to return even more this year a cycle that started in earnest on Monday, the first weekday after Christmas.
Little known to shoppers, however, is that a majority of returned items never make it back to retailers shelves. Instead, the items wind their way through liquidators, wholesalers and resellers, many of the purchases ending up in landfills. According to some estimates, as much as two million tons of returned items most of it undamaged merchandise are thrown away each year, enough to fill over 200,000 garbage trucks.
Think I found something that could be used in an episode.

That doesn't sound like a Adam Ruins Everything bit, that's more This Week Tonight area of "This shit is just wrong."
TruTV also ordered 14 additional episodes of investigative comedy Adam Ruins Everything, which will return in mid-2016. Hosted by Adam Conover, the show explores a combination of comedy, history and science to dispel widespread misconceptions about everything we take for granted.
Isn't circumcision used for "fimosis" too?
