joeldavidkilgore This show aired an episode that tried to say that our bodies were 'self cleaning'. I seriously beg to differ.As a youth of about 16 or 16 years of age I traveled with church tent preachers in the summertime. I specifically recall not being able to shower or bathe for several days at a location as we were setting up the tent. During that time no wanted down wind of any of us as we literally stank so bad that it would take your breath away. Not so self cleaning... In later years I was in the USAF and the same type conditions occurred while being involved in field exercises. If not for baby wipes at the time we all would have had to endure a much worse smell.No,our bodies are not self-cleaning. Depending on what we eat, the smell can be kept to a minimum, but after a few days of not bathing, just about anyone will realize the importance of soap and water.
plargreg OH ADAM RUINS EVERYTHING ALL RIGHT, Adam ruins everything, including the shows he stars in and narrates. This is the most annoying dude hosting a pointless unfunny show. I can't understate how annoying and pretentious the main dude comes off i wish he would shut up and stop ruining television for everyone in the audience
dsurvey-73102 Your recent episode regarding conspiracy theories was shameful, deceiving & manipulative. There have been thousands of children who have come forward to say that they had been sexually molested by sick predators but instead you laugh it off & imply it was all made up. Disgusting.Next you resort to name calling & labeling everyone who thinks any "conspiracy theory" is true. You called it "dangerous" to do your own research & come to your own conclusions. That's actually called critical thinking. What's dangerous is you spreading lie after lie while joking about the real issues. There is clearly an agenda behind your show.
Lee Eisenberg "Adam Ruins Everything" features Adam Conover disproving common misconceptions about an assortment of topics. Some of the misconceptions that he clears up are minor inaccuracies, some are complete lies about history. Whether it's elections, the Old West, or hygiene, it's easy to watch the show and end up thinking that you've been wrong about everything. Maybe the 21st century will be known as the era when we finally move beyond history's incorrect assumptions.Fortunately, Conover offers remedies to many of the problems with these topics. Some are as simple as using regular toilet paper (instead of flushable wipes, which clog the sewer). The point is, it's a good show, and everyone should see it.
