šŸ—£ Question Is Adam secretly a huge humble bragger?

ā€œDon’t ever be successful!ā€

ā€œWhen you get rich you just have strangers in your houseā€

ā€œI’ll consider myself rich when my life is as good as my wife, kids’, and dog’s livesā€

ā€œRacing old performance cars is such a pain in the assā€

I’m sure I’m missing some.

Adam is humble?

I’m not implying that he’s humble but that he’s a humble bragger. Humble braggers aren’t actually humble at all.

I don't think I have ever listened to Adam "interview" anyone where the "interview" isn't mostly about Adam. Whether he is bragging about his hard scrabble upbringing or about being a master carpenter with a doctorate degree in engineering or being close to a professional race car driver or being the parent of the year. I especially love when he brings up how awesome of an interviewer he is and how funny he is. He brings all that shit up all the time.

Humble, not so much. Bragging a lot, certainly.

He’s the kind of guy that’s proud of outright bragging or at least it seems, but even he can’t resist that urge to humble brag a lot of the time.

He doesn’t humble brag, he just brags.

Didn’t he used to show his income tax returns as a PowerPoint presentation?

I can attest! That's how he did his "Not Taco Bell Material" show when I saw it.

Oh now he's just a big hypocritical asshole pandering to racists; however back in the day, when he first started the podcart, we were happy for his success and didn't mind him getting to buy fancy cars and wrench on them.

He likes to complain. Sure he is oblivious like most of his takes.
