The guy in the Hawaiian shirt really derails this video.

Ryan Adams is a musical genius.

This double act is not helpful to your videos. The serious analysis is undermined by Celtic Iron's loud knee-jerk clowning and especially by his frequent use of harsh derogatory expletives to describe women in so many of these videos. If you want these videos to reach a cross-over audience it's really counter-productive.

The guy in the Hawaiian shirt lowers the tone of an otherwise great video.

I promise, not all Irish guys are this cringe.

Thank you for taking this on. Agree with all of your points. Sorry to say the sidekick adds nothing but noise. The video would be better without the distraction he provides

They can't take away the songs he wrote. They can't take away his contribution to music. They were 20 years too late.

Also, the NYT journalist who wrote this, Joe Coscarelli, has had a personal vendetta against Ryan Adams for years. Check his old tumblr. And he is good friends with Phoebe Bridgers. Suspect as shit

I have a wacky idea. Don’t have sex with someone for transactional reasons. Go out with a man or woman because of attraction and affection, not because she/he can do something for you. Crazy, I know.

Just saw Mandy Moore on an interview on "Today" saying it was *strange* that Ryan Adams made a public apology to her instead of a private one. What about making a private complaint instead of a public one about him getting his LIFE CANCELLED? She was all smiles with cutesy head-tilts complaining about it. Wow. Manipulation out the wazoo with that one.

You do a really great job - dude in the Hawaiian shirt only subtracted from the video though. Just rambling on aimlessly and trying to sound cool

Thank you for having the guts to defend Ryan Adams

Hey sis. Well…you and your Irish pal with colorful content rich banter just made a ton of Ryan Adams fans today! Thank you for breaking down the NYT article and highlighting what makes absolutely no sense to tar and feather Ryan. I laughed, I nodded so much my neck is sore. I’m subscribed now so you can fill me in on the facts of future pop culture. You have a gift, the common sense and grit to find the BS. Your voice should be heard louder than anything the NYT puts out. Bravo, sis!

I liked this guy at first but all his stories are about how conniving women are. Perhaps he needs to start associating with a better class of women eg. not porn stars and grifters trying to get cash and TV's.

If he did something wrong then I'm happy he apologized. With that said, like always, the public and his label were too hasty in punishing him for something they can't be certain he even did.

'Knows how to throw down in the bedroom ' really? That's Phoebe 's worth? Sorry that was a gross statement by the guy. js

Hawaii 5-0 dude is a very insecure child.

Your man is a bit much to be honest. He is very crass. You could do this on your own without the Sidekick. Other than that, thanks for standing up for Ryan! These women are adults and they could have walked away from the situation if it was that bad. No man should harm a woman or vice versa.

Unfiltered irish guy with good sense is killing it in this.

Hawaiian shirt boi makes me want to put my head through a wall.

Thank you for doing this video. I've been defending Ryan ever since that article dropped, sadly the majority of people couldn't care less about the facts of what actually happened. Hopefully this video can help people at least view the situation objectively

Phoebe Bridgers is the female Corey Feldman

Great video guys! Your videos are always so informative, funny and down to earth. I love hearing these stories from you both! I always agree with all of your points, and that's just one of the reasons I love watching you! I feel like I'm watching my own friends talking. You're both so chill... love you guys! ❤❤❤

He just announced his first show since the allegations today! Carnegie Hall, May 14th. Presale sold out this morning.

Thankyou so much for making this video!

This guy is a bit much

The dude in the resplendent shirt dropped some fabulous one liners in this 🤣

I'd really appreciate you doing that episode on Michael Jackson. I always assumed his guilt until I watched the RU-vidr, Razorfist's videos on his likely innocence. (Razorfist also talks a mile a minute. So a slower-paced breakdown of the evidence would be great.)

You two are great together - I get the impression that Mr. Iron really respects the Colonel.

That was the best analogy ever glass of milk, mouse, cookie 😆 said it like a boss

10 min. in & Hawaiian shirt dude is irking me w/ "manipulative woman " examples, as if that makes the women who have accused Adams guilty of the same behavior, b/c they are females? His stories have zero relevance to anyone else's behavior other than the individual he's referencing.

Wow! I used to be a huge fan of Ryan Adam's and his band Whiskeytown growing up but this is the first time hearing this. He also dated Winona Ryder for a bit. Wonder what she'd have to say? 🤔

CI sorry to come on all keyboard psychologist but you really need to address your issues surrounding women.... I know youre in LA but seriously, not all women are like this!!

FYI, there’s another layer to this. Joe Coscarelli (the NYT reporter who wrote the piece), is a personal friend of Phoebe Bridgers, and he also has a decade-old grudge against Ryan Adams AND his fan community in relation to an art exhibition of Adams’s which he reviewed in 2009. Coscarelli was stalking fan pages, calling Adams a ‘jackass’, and writing angry Tumblr/blog posts about Ryan and his fans...

I wish I could start a record label called, "Artist Pax", Latin for Cancelled Artists.

I LOVE Ryan Adams and have followed this story from the beginning. He is amazing - check out his music if you don't know it. He didn't deserve what he's been put through. He admits he made mistakes... And now, we fans worry about his depression.

I think I love this guy. "If there's anyone doing the bait and switch it's these broads." Luv it!🤣

Definitely worth my subscription for this one.

Is our whole sociaty upside down or inside out ? Like the media will not call a idiot a idiot.I was tripping on that Gov Cuomo resigned after just yesterday we talked about him not caving in.

Well done! The FBI cleared him. This is sour grapes from people not nearly as talented as him.

While watching your last Cuomo video, I was thinking about how cool it would be if you covered Ryan Adams. I just assumed you didn’t know who he was, but then today I see your videos on him! Ryan seemed like a high maintenance brat, but being one and not a great husband/boyfriend isn’t grounds to have everything taken away. Everyone knew the NYT article was coming, and I will say that a lot of people in entertainment weren’t happy this was happening.

Great collaboration.

I'd like to read the articles. Thanks for reporting on this and making this video. Do you have any links so I can read more? 💕

Girrrl…your friend is a gross misogynist. He’s ruining this for me.

I can't believe that girl. She's got this nice, hot, male friend offering to help her out and she turns it on him and wants clothes and shit too. Silly woman!

For a moment I read Bryan Adams. Nevermind, carry on.

I love a good cuss at my job too, but Hawaiian shirt is a little crass for this truck driver.

thanks for being real...good work. s

Unpopular opinion but the Irish dude was hilarious. Borderline cringe but I still laughed

A random video popped up in my feed from years ago. It was a news update on his divorce with Mandy Moore. According to them the court documents showed that she was requesting SPOUSAL SUPPORT FOR THEIR PETS!!! WTF???! Yeah we should alllll take her seriously.

Ryan Adams? Never heard of him. Except I was his sound engineer on tour for 3 weeks. Lol wut?

Who the hell has "never heard of" Ryan Adams???

I’ve seen him live 3 times. 2 were great. 1 was awful-he was wasted, stumbling around, skipping lyrics, very f-you attitude toward audience. So he’s probably a nice guy/nasty drunk. Cannot agree about Michael Jackson-too much openly inappropriate behavior to excuse.

If anything Mandy Moore used him, her music career the only thing I remember of it was her coming out early 2000's with that song Candy and her record label trying to make her another blonde Britney Spears clone. Then after that I thought she was doing good for herself because she got into acting and roles like A Walk to Remember and other projects but she certainly switched from music to acting. I think she latched onto Ryan because she was growing up, and embarrassed by her Britney Clone Candy days and bored with the acting wanted to get back into music as a more serious artist. If he stalled her career as she's claiming then why since they divorced hasn't she released all this music he in her head kept her from releasing? Some of these women will do anything even after their 15 minutes of fame has passed to get just another 5 minutes in the limelight and that's how I see Moore after all this. The new husband better look out, because it's untelling what she'll say about him once the divorce happens.

Most shocking part about this video was that Mandy Moore has size 11 shoes… also, good music is good music. You should check out Heartbreakers

Thank you 🙏 I met Ryan Adams once back stage seemed a good soul to me

You lost me with the uninformed male host who has guitars on the wall but does not know one of the best songwriters of modern times. You would do better alone or with another cohost.

When people repeat hearsay, they set themselves up for liable sute. Careful. I'm not surprised he uses discretion with groupie fans. You have to know he's been warned by his Constituents early on in his career about Honey traps because contracts need to be fulfilled album's need to be made. C'mon its a worn out slander thats easy to believe about anyone we don't know.

Thanks for the vid. Unfortunately, the guy here takes away from the points you are trying to make and drags down the flow and seriousness you provide.

When you blame someone you are making them responsible for your unhappiness. The person responsible for being happier is you. Step into taking responsibility and blame noone. Someone make you feel not appreciated? TELL them. If it keeps happening. Dare to walk away.

Was that Karen Elson ex wife of jack White, not Scottish but from Oldham.

Great video! Subscribed✨

So he never heard of him before (or after, no really), but then he had heard of him. Yeah, that sounds really credible.

Wow 🎉 is this for real? 😮

The guy in the Hawaiian shirt is instantaneously annoying. Amazing.

I wonder if Adams got the idea to pull "the naked man" on Bridgers from Friends, Seinfeld or whatever show that thing was on. Funny.

Best north american singer song writer in the thirty years easy

We all need to find our way beyond all the BS and NORMALIZE EQUALITY ... Be responsible for your own shit, know and understand your own boundaries, be a grown up and make better choices ... It doesn't matter if you're male or female be decent and kind to one another ... Follow the OGRule (0riginal Golden Rule) He or She who has the Gold does NOT make all the rules ... Anytime you mix busines$ with $ex the water always gets muddy ... If you choose to drink muddy water that's on you.

Ryan Adam's, shit boyfriend material, no doubt, but still my favourite singer songwriter. Did he dangle fame in front of some of these girls, sure he did. Is he to blame if their careers didn't take off to the level the women expected or that he moved on personally and professionally after they split up, nope. Absolutely not. There's no adult woman gets into a relationship with a celebrity entertainer who doesn't understand the benefits and the pitfalls.

Mandy has always been a better actress than singer/artist... he can not sing, I'm sorry and her songs are very bland/boring.. just being honest.

Okay, the case is closed. Now I just hope he stops his impersonation of Bono's tragic voice once and for all. The original crap is enough

You should not be with some one expecting some one for what you can get but for love.

I’m also glad you’re discussing this, it needs to be talked about & cancel cultural needs to end. I am totally biased because I’m a big fan of Mr Adams, I’ve met him and he was very nice, down to earth, he didn’t play the roll of a typical rock star , although I do agree with you’re guest first impressions of him, one thing people don’t realize is that he suffers from minniers disease, look into that & it explains certain things about his personality especially the meltdowns he was known for, Its a miserable disease for anyone but especially a musician. Also I agree with your guest that he must have pissed someone off for the fbi to open a investigation. Let’s look at the timing and where he was in his career. He was in demand & selling product, selling tickets & probably turning down advances from industry creeps, that’s my guess. He finally got his side out in a interview that just came out a few days ago.

Phoebe Bridgers seems to use people to get to A - B. She's hooked up with Irish actor Paul Mescal ( he was in tv series Normal People) and she's gotten Phoebe Waller Bridges (think that's her name, Fleabag actress and writer of new James Bond film) to direct a video for her. I believe she's now working with Taylor Swift and The Killers. The Killers need to be very careful of her as someone accused their roadies of rape backstage, this turned out to be untrue. I only really know Ryan Adams from that song New York, New York cos video was filmed just before 9/11 attack. Mandy Moore wasn't gonna be a big music star cos we had Britney.

He's a total comic book dork that writes fantastic songs

Thank you for this. But, just FYI, Ryan Adams is hot as hell

I agree that these types of vague accusations make it very difficult to prove that he actually did something wrong. I had never even heard of this person prior to this but to me something doesn't seem quite right here. These metoo people fully realize that they have more power when they team up with other women and in this case, and many of these other metoo hit jobs as you call them, this seems to be what is clearly going on. It just seems so obviously sketchy. And its great that you and celtic iron and all of the other guests who you have had on here, are helping to open more people's eyes up to what's really going on behind the fake news that the media is selling

This guy needs his own channel what a guy! Adams has been ruined by jealous and spiteful individuals.

This piece was so drawn out, talk about Milking the Donkey!

Let him talk?????? Youre doing exactly what youre ranting about ????????

Iian Watkins... Look into this guy. When I hear the lame ass stories from some of these women in America it makes me mad. Once you do this comparison I believe you'll see how somebody is exploiting morals and women in the industry.

I like you and your video but that other guy is disgusting. He may just be coming off bad but maybe give him a heads up. Imo no offense

Hes a genius musician and songwriter. Shit happens??? I mean I dont know him but he lives a bunch of cats......And makes incredible music

He's one of my all time favourite artists but he's also a prick, no doubt. Doesn't mean he should be cancelled though!

Can you please post the article you are discussing?

Let’s not forget that comment Bridgers made when introducing a song she’d written about Adams on stage .“This is a song about a man who refuses to go down on any woman ever”. That doesn’t say to me that she was in a severely traumatic relationship with the man.

I am wondering how you would defend for example Epstein :D 10 years ago. That they didn’t say no and they could say no, or they should knew what they are doing? And because it last so many years and they didn’t do anything with it - that this is ok… I need to say that you are great defending guys who are accused of sexual abuse. Not saying that’s true or not, but saying that these women should know that everything will be transactional or they should know so many stuff, or flirting with someone who says that you are talented and want to help you with your career is ok and they shouldn’t be surprised - meeeh i dont buy it. Women and Men should be careful with all people men and women, which they dont know, documenting everything what they can if they are public personas.

Shame the guy with you ruined this otherwise good video. Needs to be talked about more in my opinion.

Ryan was stitched up and he is a great artist.the sound engineer guy is a prat.

The sound sound eng was defiantly the wrong guy to have the conversation with.

I love this! Reminds me of the Armie Hammer witch hunt. Just because a guy is a jerk at times to women does mean they deserve to be “cancelled” and there careers should be ruined. Armie is a great actor and RA is an amazing musician and scorned women should not be able to take that away.

Big LOL, honestly incredible the lengths people will go to in their attempts to erase or rationalise the abusive behaviour of men in positions of power and influence. It's almost cute how transparent it can be. Keep squawking, it's adorable.

He should sue the NYT...

The TV story NEVER happened lol

Heart of darkness is my favourite fiction book up there with Dostoyevskys the brothers Karamazov and Albert Camus the outsider and 1984, I left school at 11 so I couldn't write but I thought I was dumb and the first book I ever read was Camus and Conrad's heart of darkness at 21 years old was an awakening for me of the fact I was not dumb and I understood great writers. So it changed my life. I see yoy have kurtz as yr name. What a book hey? And apocalypse now redux is ment to be a hear of darkness what's the word a amage I can't spell it homage that doesn't look like the word I mean it's like when you pay tribute to a work of art a hommage god!!! I believe it's a French word. Damit

Dude, please do yourself a favor and check out Ryan Adams' music on RU-vid or Spotify.

Mandy Moore and these other chicks obviously wanted Ryan adams to write some instant classics for them or including them

These things they are accusing him of are not illegal.It is bullshit attacking men for being men and a human being.

I wasn't aware of this ?
