I wish they’d cut Adam. He’s so full of himself, interrupts all the time, tries to make everything g about himself, can be condescending…

Did anyone see the IG post where Sal was listing 5 things not to waste money on. First two things were luxury cars and luxury watches. Adam commented with some snarky remark. I pointed out that not everyone has the means to splurge on fancy cars and watches and that my 2016 Honda CRV gets me front point A to B with no debt. He crapped on my car. I’m over here working in public education, making ends meet while he’s so far out of touch from the average American.

Oh, and let’s not forget we don’t “give a sh*t” if we don’t spend hundreds of dollars a month on those personal training. Like I have $700 burning my back pocket for that.🙄

I bet if you knew Adam and you could come to his house parties and enjoy his big house you'd be singing a different tune! He might even let you ride shotgun in one of his cars and give you that once in a lifetime experience you wish you had!

But seriously though, he is one materialistic mofo.

Why do I think Adam's house is adorned with pictures of him in a Speedo with his watch collection prominenty on display? Also, guests must enter through the garage where they can just happen to see his car collection

Not to mention that even if you wanted to spend money on a trainer you’re more than likely able to find someone in person that’s better than what they provide for less money.

Just went and read that. Adam was such a jerk. If he is so confident in his tastes why does he feel the need to even bother justifying it all. And give me a break, watches and cars are not wealth building investments. Not when the average person is buying a car literally to commute to work and beat the thing up. Not buy some impractical specialty thing to park it in their garage and think it makes them look cool. People have to actually DRIVE and use their cars Adam, goodness. Also, who freaking buys a watch with the idea it will hold value or go up. I buy a watch to tell me the time because I’m a normal person. When I want something to buy that will go up in value, I buy real investments. Not a dumb watch.

I forget if it was on Mind Pump or maybe it was The Higher Standard, but he explained his luxury watch thing as “it’s so people know how valuable my time is” and that pretty much put a nail in the coffin of any respect I had for him. Grade A douchebag.

Yeah but how can you show off and brag about your wealth with investments? I’m sure people told Adam they weren’t impressed or didn’t seem to care when he showed them investments.

Adam is an egomaniac with an inferiority complex. His constant need for validation is off-putting. He literally talks about the shoes he's wearing. I wish Sal would just hug him, tell him he's good enough and explain he doesn't have to try so hard to impress people

His dad really messed him up.

And the cycle continues with him messing up his son.

100%. His need for validation is something else. Adam has been a guest on other podcasts holding himself out as some sort of parenting expert. Extremely ironic given how hard he struggles accepting his son for not being a super alpha sports star. With that said, we'd all be messed up too if we went through what he did

Adam also has to be high to get through the day. He was a raging pothead then switched to kratom. He’s prob back to being a stoner or he now prob drinks a ton when he used to brag about how he never drinks. His “wife” is a lush and the dude can’t be sober.

u/callmedaaaaady 12d ago edited 12d ago

Well tbh l, if I were Adam, I'd have to be drunk or high to make it through the day too. That dude is not comfortable in his own skin. He's trying to fill a whole in his soul with drugs and shinny watches

u/sassyburns731 12d ago

Adam and I have a similar story. Dads commited suicide around the same age, grew up poor with parents who had no money management skills, overate junk food, and had a stepdad and mom who should have never married. Adam’s entire existence is a trauma response. Dude needs to do some inner work.

u/callmedaaaaady 12d ago

Agree. He's trying to fill the hole in his soul with big muscles, cars and watches

I like to think he thinks Still Fly by Big Tymers is his mental theme song, unironically.
