[Jordan Harmon]

From Corolla One Studios in Glendale, California, this is the Adam Corolla Show. Adam's guest today from Angel Studios, Jordan and Neil Harmon. Plus the news and trending topics with Jason Mayhem Miller. And now, Malibu Evacuee will eventually be a California evacuee, Adam Carolla.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, get it on. Got to get on the church. We're getting ready to get it on. Thanks for tuning in. Thanks for telling a friend the ratings went up. So thank you for sharing this. Mayhem's in studio. My dry bar special is dropping as you hear this.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Oh, well, there goes my first news story.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, man. Damn. Stop the presses. Anyway, it's real good. It's about 35, 40 minutes and it's go to what is put there? It's drybarcomedy.com Adam. And watch it. Tell me what you think. And I appreciate it. Okay. So, yeah. Tough night last night. Evacuated. Damn. I never evacuated before. I don't like to evacuate.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

You're telling me the cops did this one to you?

[Adam Carolla]

Go. I got the. Well, it showed up in the form of phone. Everything's on the phone now.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

The beep.

[Adam Carolla]

Now, normally, here's how I play it. Many years ago, I was out on the road with Drew, and It was about 3am and the fire alarm went off in the hotel. And everyone filed down into the lobby and then outside into the front of the hotel. And I guess that would be protocol. I was on the 2nd, maybe 3rd ish floor. I had about a good 22 foot drop to the lawn. Now, I stood up in my room in my underpants and I watched everyone file out into the lawn in their bathrobes and towels and sweatpants and staying out in the cold.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

I then hearkened back to taking note that there was a prom taking place at the hotel when Drew and I got back from our show. I was walking through the lobby and I saw a bunch of kids, high schoolers, running around. I then surmised that one of them probably pulled the fire alarm.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

And so I was like, I think one of these jack off prom kids got drunk and thought it'd be funny to pull the fire alarm at 3am But I also weighed in the fact that if I saw flames coming underneath my door, that I could take this desk chair and I could throw it through that window and I could jump out of here and break both ankles and fracture risk. But I will not die. I will not die in a fire.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

So knowing what I know, I'm gonna stay here. And I sat in my room and I watched everyone, including Drew, mill about the lawn and the frigid cold at 3am And I thought, I'm glad I didn't do that.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Did the math on your fingers.

[Adam Carolla]

I did the math and I didn't go. So what happened in Malibu last night is it's dry. Ish. It's not hot, but it's not cold. It's kind of in between a Little bit windy, a little bit of wind blowing, but not too bad. Not. Not hot condition, not fire conditions like July. Everything's dried out and winds blowing in. Not that we're in December, but I'm sitting downstairs, I'm watching SportsCenter, and that's my time, if anyone wants to really know me. It's sitting at night, lights off, watching Sports center, watching highlights, sports highlights on TV at night, later at night, all of a sudden, it's about 10:45, 10:50. Poof. Power gone. Then I notice as I look down PCH or where my condo is, I can look up and down pch, I notice that it's gone. Power's gone all the way down. PCs. There's no lights in the neighborhood. Ominous, Ominous. But I start noticing. I take note of which neighbors are winners because their generators kick on. And I'm like, oh, winner. Because we all know it too, but none of us got a generator. But you fucking did. You're the little piggy who made his home. Apocalypse type person. Yeah, I see some of these houses light up a down pch, not, you know, one out of every eight or ten. So now I'm standing there by the window, looking out in the living room, seeing that the thing is, the power is gone. And I go, hmm, When I got nothing to do because I have no power. And I look on my phone to see if there's a podcast I can listen to. But somehow the. When the Internet goes out, I can't listen to podcasts. I don't. I got to figure that one out. But I do have a book, an audio book. Animal Farm by George Orwell.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Great book.

[Adam Carolla]

And so I'm like, I'm going to listen to Animal Farm by George Orwell. So I just sit there in the dark listening to Animal Farm by George Orwell. And at some point, I'm looking out the window and I see smoke coming up from beyond a hill that is nearby. And I take note of it. I stand there and I look. I'm aware that there are fires in Malibu. There's a house on Rambla. Rambla Pacifico. They do Rambla. Everything's up there. Rambla Orienta. Rambla Pacifica. There's a house that really is above my condo back in the hill, where back in the day, in the 80s, we built a custom house up there. I was on the crew that built the custom house. Burned down to the ground.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Bam.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. So I know there are fires up there. They're a little few and far between, but frequent enough so that People are aware of what's going on. I hung out with Suzanne Summers and Alan Hamel, who were telling me about their home that was on the other side of pch, on the beach side. When it jumps pch, that's. That's the big deal. Doesn't normally jump it and get to the ocean side of it. But their house was destroyed some years ago that way. So I just sat there in my bathrobe listening to Animal Farm and looking out the window and seeing smoke. But I couldn't tell. Was it like a diesel truck that caught on fire on PCH or was something on fire up in the hill? Was it a structure fire?

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

The sun wasn't down yet, so you could.

[Adam Carolla]

No, it was 10:45 in the evening. Oh, power gone, lights off, smoke in the.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

In the evening, the night.

[Adam Carolla]

I could. I could see. I could see it coming up. So I just stood there and I just looked at it. And then I would go back and sit down and ate some nuts. And then I listened to Animal Farm and then I got back up and I looked at it again and it looked a little more. There looked like there was a little more smoke now. So then I did that about five more times for an hour. And the last time I looked, it seemed like more smoke than the time before.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

But I wasn't seeing flames or anything yet. So now it's midnight. So my schedule. My schedule today. There's my schedule. What for today?

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

It's been jumping.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, we've modified it a little bit. But my schedule for today was I was going to come here in the morning and do five Adam and Drew episodes. And then I was going to do this show. And then I was going to finish this show. Four, whatever. And then I was gonna tape some dry bar thing, promo thing. And then I was gonna do Larry Elder's radio show at about 5:30. And then I was going to go to the Ice House in Pasadena and do my set that I'm doing in New York for Fox Nation on Thursday. And then on the way back from the Ice House in Pasadena, I was going to go to the Comedy Store and do Sam Tripoli's show and then probably finish up at 10, 10:30 at night and then drive back to Malibu. That was gonna. My schedule was gonna be. I was gonna leave Malibu at 9am and I was gonna come back through the door at 11:30 and it was going to be nothing. But there was going to be no lunch or dinner. It's just going to be work all the way, action packed. All the way through. So I said, well, I got a real. And then Wednesday, the following day, the plan was to come here, do a podcast, go to Burbank Airport, get into Mark Garriguez's jet and go to New York with the suit, all the shit you need to shoot a special dry clean stuff, blah, blah, blah. And four or five days worth of stuff for New York. It's 30 degrees. Bring your gloves and your beanie and doing Gutfeld Friday. So have an outfit for Gutfeld packed.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Packed. Now you're kicked out?

[Adam Carolla]

Well, not yet. Now it's midnight, and I go upstairs and my girlfriend is sleeping. And I thought, I don't think I should get her involved with this because my general. I don't know where you stand, mayhem, but my general stance with women is pretty neat to know.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

I'm with you.

[Adam Carolla]

I got a good idea of what's going on here. Yeah, I may be called reckless, but I'm not. I got a good idea. I got a good temperature on what's going on. If that fire comes over that hill and starts coming this way, I can be in my car and gone in about 90 seconds, heading toward Santa Monica. I'm not worried about it.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

But I'm keeping an eye on it.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

So you haven't raised to the level of worry. It's simply been a concern at this stage.

[Adam Carolla]

So then it's midnight. Now, I got the world's busiest day planned the following day. And I really can't stay up and stare out the window all night. So I go, I lay down for about an hour, and then I get up and I peek out the curtain upstairs and I see it's gathered a little momentum, but it's not looking out of control yet. It's a ways off.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

You're seeing flames.

[Adam Carolla]

I took a picture. It's a little bit fuzzy. It was about three in the morning. That was right when we cleared off. Which was essentially the view from the bedroom, which, buddy, that's like full on.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

It's time to get worried.

[Adam Carolla]

I wasn't worried, but it was time to think about moving on.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Yeah, that's what I mean.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, there's flames. It's in the distance, but it's not that far distant.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

You made it out. Like, I just saw a little smoke. That is clearly a raging brush fire.

[Adam Carolla]

There's a raging bushfire going on in Malibu. So I. But this is right before we left. It wasn't this bad at 1am so I was like, I'm gonna see if I can get a Little more sleep. And then at some point the emergency alert system set off and my phone was on airplane mode or something so I wasn't getting the emergency alert system, but my girlfriend did and then she woke up and then she looked out the window and she said, this is bad. And I said it's not that bad. We'll see where this thing goes. And meanwhile, fire trucks going up and down and helicopters everywhere. And so then the alert started coming in which is evacuate. Yeah, it was like, I got such a busy day tomorrow. And then we're going, then we're going to New York the following day. And what do we do if we evacuate? And who's going to pack and get ready and everything else? We all need a moment to really breathe.

[Dawson]

So here's your chance to take a deep breath in.

[Adam Carolla]

Now give a nice long exhale and repeat another 10 or so times. This healthy suggestion is brought to you by Regents Blue Cross Blue Shield of Oregon.

[Dawson]

Together we health.

[Adam Carolla]

So then a couple, maybe a couple hours went by. I said I just want to keep looking at this fire. And then it started to sort of get worse and the evacuation and so it was time to pack up and evacuate. Now evacuating sucks under good circumstances, but evacuating at 3am yeah. With no power.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Oh yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

It's completely pitch black and you're trying to get your toothbrush and your flip flops and I got a flashlight but it's a little hectic at 3am trying to pack everything you need and I don't know if we're going to be let back is the problem. So I'm trying to take what I need, take everything, load up the truckster and start heading this direction, figuring I gotta be here in the morning for a very long day and probably just get a hotel in Burbank or Glendale or somewhere near here because that's where I got to be in the morning anyway. And Burbank, Glendale are fine. Nice. So go to a hotel we stayed at before when we'd done events here and that wanted to go back to Malibu. Now it's 3:45 and there's nobody in the hotel. There's no one at the desk. You know, y. I'm pretty tired and I know I got a crazy day today that's going to start early. So girlfriend gets out, goes to check in. I'm going to go find a place to park and or see if there's another hotel she goes in. This is awesome. It's 3:45am walks in, there's a Guy working the floor buffer says, where's the woman? Where's the receptionist? Where's the person behind the bell? Where's the bell to check in?

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

He goes, she's on her lunch break.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

I expect this guy to have an accent.

[Adam Carolla]

Yes. I'm sure I never heard him, but I did see him, and I suspect he does. And it's not Italian, French or Irish. So he goes, she's on her lunch break. She just started her lunch break. And I'm like, it's 3:50 in the morning.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

I have to be here at 10. We don't know whether there's a room in this hotel or not. She's not there. She's taking her lunch break. Now it's 4am on a weeknight in Burbank. She's not at the Quiznos up the street talking to her friends. She's here just eating a sandwich. But here behind. She's behind that door in the office eating. Cause it's her lunch break. But I would argue when the refugees. That would call us refuge, we're boat people. Malibu boat people. When the refugees show up, you're allowed to put your sandwich down and walk out and then go, what's going on at 4am on a weeknight? And then we go, our condo's on fire. And they go, all right, let's see if we got a room for you here. And then go back and finish your sandwich. Right. Not just stay. So now it's. It's 4am and we're just sitting there.

[Jordan Harmon]

That's what you're supposed to do.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Yeah.

[Jordan Harmon]

That's your main job. You don't have a dedicated hour for lunch.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Yeah.

[Jordan Harmon]

Where you can abandon your duties, especially if you're the overnight person.

[Adam Carolla]

I would argue. True. If somebody came down and said, I'm having a situation in my room with the toilet. You couldn't be like, well, you gotta. You gotta hang out for 45 minutes until they're done eating their ham sandwich. But they just stayed back there. And then we just sat there. And then at some point, I took off and I went to another hotel with another personless lobby on lunch. I don't know what they're on, but I can't get in because I don't have a key and it's late, and so I'm just looking through the glass.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Climate refugee. Adam Carolla.

[Adam Carolla]

That's right. I'm a climate refugee. That's a good call. So I just stood there. Ironically, now it's 4am the only woman there was a Woman in the lobby who was also looking for the person behind the counter. But that person wasn't there.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

So now you're in a line.

[Adam Carolla]

No, I'm outside.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

I get it.

[Adam Carolla]

I'm outside. And not only that, you have that picture, the decal. I took Joe on the outside here I'm in a world of hurt because I'm in a world of hate. Because the sticker at this Hilton voyage or whatever it is explains this, that I was tired and sleep deprived, but I only have enough energy to go on a rant. It's a small, it's a 3 by 5 size decal. If you go wider on the door, you'll see the pic. It says, this is a safe space for everyone, exclamation point. Hate has no home here. And then it has the gay flag. Okay? Now hate has no home inside of this Hilton Guard Gardens. Right? I'm outside. I'm in a hate zone. I'm in a world of hate. You understand? Yeah, you're right. I'm right. I'm not inside of the hate free zone, which is inside the Hilton Garden in Burbank. I'm on the other side of the hate zone out here with all the haters, the hatred, street worrying, looking over my shoulder, worried about my safety, streets of rage. So there's one chick in there doesn't work there. She's someone who's staying at the hotel. She's on the inside, I'm on the hate zone. On the outside I can't get in because I don't have a key. There's nobody behind the counter. The woman is there at 405 in the morning. Running shorts, running shoes, got the water bottle. One of these workout people where 6am is way too late for the workout.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

4:10, she's fully, I mean literally, you gotta get up at 3:30 to jog. It's dark outside and I'm in no mood. Where I'm, where I'm coming from, I've been up all night. She went to bed at 4 in the afternoon.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Imagine you in a burned up bathrobe.

[Adam Carolla]

With your face, smoke coming out my hair. So I'm like, all right, I don't know how to get in this place. It's a hate free zone. I'm pretty angry right now. I don't think I'd be accepted. I know where the person is behind the counter. So then I go back to our hotel and the person is still eating lunch. There's nobody there. It's 4:20 in the morning now. I Gotta get up and be here all day.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Damn.

[Adam Carolla]

So I find another hotel. This hotel has a guy, late night guy, by the way, the folks that they get to do the graveyard shift on the weekdays. That is the bottom of the barrel of the drunk tank of Laughlin. No, no, that is Pahrump. That is who you find in a drunk tank in Pahrump. That's who. The unemployable, least motivated, dumbest. Of course you're going to hide them. They work from 2am to 7am and sitting there. So I found this other hotel up the street. I go, do you have any rooms? And they go, no, we don't have any rooms. I go, what's going on? Is there a convention? And they go, no, there's a fire in Malibu. This many people left Malibu and went to Burbank. So then he go. I go, well, we're trying to get in on the other hotel but the chicks eating lunch and she never stops. She's not done. She won't finish eating lunch. And he goes, oh, she's done with lunch. And I go, wow, you guys communicate somehow. This guy's talking to her over there. All right, go back. She's come out taking her sweet ass. Time check in. I would argue you should get a guaranteed late checkout if you're checking in at 4:30 in the morning. Like if you're only checking in for five and a half hours, you should get, you should get a built in late checkout. If check in is 3 or 4 o'clock and you've added 12 and a half hours to that time and you're rolling in at 4:30, they should just throw the gratis late check out, but not so much. Anyway, get the room, got a bed at 5, get up at 9:30 and. Yeah, and here we are. Now last I checked, Malibu, 0% contained. 0% contained. And they're not letting people back. So now supposed to be in New York for five days. I need my suit, my shoes, my belt, my stuff, you know what I mean?

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

There's a Ross dress for less over to Hill.

[Adam Carolla]

I might have to dress for less because there's also a psychological component which I'm getting ready to go to New York to shoot a special. I'd really like to. I was going to go over my material, take some time, you know, get my shit together.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

You can't run your set tonight. You still can.

[Adam Carolla]

I can. I don't have clothes, I'm exhausted by the way. I was basically up all night and so I'm Hoping I can get back. But if I can't get back, how am I going to go to New York if I cannot pack anything? And it's 30 degrees in New York and I'm doing two shows over there, televised shows, and there's nothing.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

It's kind of exciting. Just go and just buy a bunch of shit at the mall real quick.

[Adam Carolla]

No, it's not all fucking. It's all pretty, pretty woman for you.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Well, I'm just saying, like, it's not like you're broken going through this.

[Adam Carolla]

You go, yeah, I know. It's just little shit. Like, I was using these teeth whitening cups where you pull this thing out, you put the teeth whitener thing in your thing. And I'd used it for the last two days. I was like, I'll use it for a couple more days for the special. Get the tooth white and thing. That's. I got. I got. Not that. The toiletry bag. I don't. There's nothing in there. The vitamins, whatever, the supplements, the medications, it's all. It's all there. I mean, socks and underpants. Yeah, but just your neck pillow, you.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

[Adam Carolla]

Well, you may be right.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

I think so. I think so. I think this is. You're going to. You're forging the fire right now.

[Adam Carolla]

I really would just like them to let me go to my condo and stay there. I wish there was some sort of waiver you could sign, which is, look, if I burn up in this fire, you will not be held accountable for this. So right now they're not letting people pass like Topanga Canyon on pch.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

[Adam Carolla]

[Adam Carolla]

Adam, list of things to do before you die.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Wake up from a coma in your.

[Adam Carolla]

Hospital room, rip all your IVs out, stand up, say, I don't have time for this shit and walk out.

[Jordan Harmon]

Get it on. You can leave us a message at 888-634-1744.

[Adam Carolla]

I think the Rock. The Rock did that in Fast and Furious, like seven or something. He literally flexed himself out of his cast. He just went and like. All right. But you're supposed to have that on for another nine weeks. You're okay now. Yes, I am.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

Flex myself out. All right, what's going on in the news?

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

New York City jury found Daniel Penny Penny not guilty Monday of criminally negligent homicide in the choking death of subway performer Jordan Neely.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, so I was thinking about this story and I was thinking Back on a movie that nobody's seen but you should, which is Earthquake. You ever see the movie Earthquake?

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Yes, I did. Yes. The rock was in that one. Different one.

[Adam Carolla]

San Andreas.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Oh, my bad.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, the San Andreas fault causes. No, I'm talking 1970s Chuck Heston.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

I caught a part of it. Yes. When I was a kid. I watched it in reruns. I did like that movie you got to see Chuck Charleston Heston.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, he's really almost as Hestany esque in this movie. And in this movie. And it's an Irwin Allen thing and it's a big disaster thing and it was great. Yeah, I loved it. And so when I was. Every time I saw Daniel Penny and we can find a picture of Daniel Penny, the blonde guy, fit, curly, sort of inexplicably curly blonde hair and ex marine. I started thinking about a character in Earthquake. And there was a character that was an earthquake that was. And I don't know, I mean, we can figure this out. Marjo Gortner, character actor, did tons of stuff in the 70s and 80s and all that stuff in the movie Earthquake, they made it really weird. He worked at a supermarket, but he was a reserve and he was an army reserve guy. And he had these guys in his building that were like old school Italian, punky kind of thuggy guys. And he'd come home from work and they'd razz him and they make jokes about him being gay. Back when, you know, that was a strike back before the Hilton and Burbank had to hate Free Zone, you know, when everything was. When it was on and they would make fun of him like, oh, gay guy. Hey, like sitting on the stoop. Guys, like three guys at Pisans. Hey, where you going, gay guy? Come back here, pretty boy. You know, like stupid movie thugs that don't really exist. One dimensional and never pose a threat because they never get off the fucking. They just sit there the whole time making fun of people that walk back and forth. So he goes in there, but when he goes into his apartment, he's got a lot of pinups of bodybuilders, greased up bodybuilders, which. Listen, as a nine year old struggling with his sexuality, I was sort of like, wait a minute, he is gay. Or they're making fun of him, they're calling him gay or he is gay or he likes bodybuilding or something. There's a very weird sort of confused sexuality about his character, that his character has Daniel Penny hair. Like if you. Sorry. Marjo Gardner looks like Daniel Penny in real Life. He has. He has the curly hair, but in the movie, he puts a blonde, weird Marilyn Monroe wig on. I don't know. Show me a picture. We can.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

I was wondering how we can connect.

[Adam Carolla]

It's gonna connect. It's gonna be all right. Now we have him in his stupid wig picture when he's in the National Guard. But there's the picture of Marjo Gardner in his regular hair. Like his headshot, which I'll show you, which is Daniel Penny. Like, they're the same, same dude. And Daniel Penny was a ex marine guy who turned into sort of vigilante Marjo. His character was. When the earthquake broke out. We have Marjo. Yeah, no, that's him.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Oh, yeah, I saw it.

[Adam Carolla]

It's the Daniel Penny of his day. He had the same weird. You didn't see guys with the blonde, natural curly locks. Yeah, yeah, but that's who he was. So I kept looking at him, and then I kept picturing him in his. In his outfit, in his. In his uniform. So you know what he did in the movie, the earthquake broke out. Right. And the thugs who hung out on the stoop, they went out looting.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

And then he went and got his military fatigues on and his gun because he was reserved and this is an emergency. And for some reason, he put a fucking wig on. I don't know why he did that. My weird blonde wig. The actor had blonde hair. I don't know why he had to put a Doris Day type wig on. And then he went out and guess what all the guys have been calling him a homo. He caught him looting and he's like holding this M16. He's like, by law, I get to shoot looters.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Oh, what?

[Adam Carolla]

And they're like, oh, hey, man, we're just kidding about. Suck a dick. It was a weird scene to put in your movie. And he was a weird character. And I don't know why we had to weave in his not gayness or sort of weird sexuality into it with the wig and the greased up bodybuilder guys. But anyway, Daniel Perry. I know I'm not the first guy to say, but he is the Marjo Gardner of his time. Everybody, his name in the movie. Jody. Jode.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

No. Oh, my God.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh. Oh. And they'd be like, jody. Jody. That's a girl's name. But okay, why in his apartment did he have dudes on posters and stuff? And, like, can you find the scene where they're, like, making fun of him after he comes home from his shift at the high Ho market. They follow him, like, up the stairs. Like, also, I'm always curious who the unemployed guys are who just sit on a. On staircases. They sit on cement stairs all day on the off chance some homo walk by and I get to yell something out like, you're 31. Shouldn't you be pursuing something? It's. It's a weekday. You got to work, right. Like, why in the hood?

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

That's like a normal thing. I've seen it.

[Adam Carolla]

That's in the hood. These are white guys. We're better than that. Yeah, He's. They're making fun of him. He comes home, he goes up the stairs, and when he. They go into his apartment, bodybuilder guys, posters everywhere, all greased up.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

You know, a lot of movies, especially back in the day, seem like they had, like, a thinly veiled message like, hey, if you're gay, don't worry. One day you'll get to have an M16. Like, it was a weird comeback kind of story.

[Adam Carolla]

This is a weird. This is a Irwin Allen big disaster type film from the 70s. I didn't fly under my radar. I was bumped. I was bumped by. The only time I'd ever heard of Earthquake was. It's. If you go to Universal, right? The. Like. Yeah, they made the ride after the movie.

[Neil Harmon]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

And then they're like, that's from Earthquake. And I was like, what's Earthquake? Yeah. Does that scene exist anywhere? We're trying to find it. It's probably toward the middle of the film. They had a bunch of vignettes going on. He worked at the supermarket and for some reason would put a blonde wig on over his blond hair before he reported his military duty. But all right, they found him not guilty. Yeah.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Daniel Penny was found not guilty. He was sued at the same time as, you know, by the victim or, you know, the victim's father.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, the one who banned. And let him live on the fucking subway and do drugs all day.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Exactly. Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

Ice people.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

You know, my connection with this is I. The K2, which is spice, which is a synthetic cannabinoid. It's like weed, only in that it kind of is like a cannabinoid, but it puts you into outer space.

[Adam Carolla]

That's what he was on.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Disassociate. It makes you disconnect with reality.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, but he was a harness homeless guy. Look, as I said to Gavin Newsom, where he sat. Where you sat many years ago, it's all drugs. It's all mental problems and drugs they previously housed. And we need to Build more shelters and we need more outreach programs. These guys are hardcore drug addicts who are out of their fucking mind. That's the problem. That's who sleeps outdoors. That's who you're dealing with. So fucking get used to it. Admit it and deal with it. And calling him previously housed does not help. Calling them current junkies is the way to go. This guy was fucking out of his mind. He needed help and he was schizophrenic. I think.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Yeah. That schizophrenia can be a byproduct of this K2. I've seen it myself, where people start off pretty normal and then they smoke that stuff and it brings out the mental illness worse.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. Anyway, if these guys are going to run around the subway yelling, I'm going to kill people. And I don't care if I die today. Just gonna happen.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. But I appreciate the politicized da.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

And the interesting part is I would looked into all this even, you know, deeper. And the way that different news outlets are covering it. Like you said, CBS was covering it like all this unhoused person.

[Adam Carolla]

He's a Michael Jackson impersonator. I know. I love the euphemisms. I love when the fucking racist from Black Lives Matter. It's like, so for the crime of dancing on a subway. No, no, no. For the crime of threatening everyone on the subway's life, Scaring everyone. That's.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

Not for being loud. Not for being loud. You're loud. Saying people, I can be loud.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

I'm going to kill you.

[Adam Carolla]

Not for being loud. For telling people you're going to kill them when there's kids and women.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

And then Fox covered the point that in the. In the courtroom after the jury, after the verdict was read, that the BLM protesters kind of threatened the people clapping in happiness.

[Adam Carolla]

Fuck BLM. They're done. The BLM's done. Like Covid. Masks are done. Like trans shit is done. It's just all done. It's all. You guys are done. You got to move on to a new grift. You have to find a different way to make money off of people by victimizing them. You're done with this particular grift. Could have kept it going longer, but you fucking bought houses and shit in Topanga. Man, I wish I could drive through Topanga. Yeah. Those are the days. I wish I could take Topanga down to PCH and turn right and go home.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

We cannot. Oh, you mean because of the fire?

[Adam Carolla]

That is correct. That chick from BLM bought a house in Topanga. And Topanga is the Motherfucking whitest place in the United States. It is much wider than Beverly Hills or Hancock park or any hoity toity neighborhood. Even Malibu, specifically. Specifically, Topanga Canyon is probably the widest per capita area. And you chose to buy a $6 million house in Topanga. But yet what's the problem with white people? And why not just buy a place in Compton? You can be around your people and be safe. Be safe where you don't have to feel like other or deal with people that are scared of those who look different than them. All right, where's that clip? It's gotta be somewhere. I'm pulling down the whole movie from Amazon, which is the only place it's available. We'll put it on your screen when we got it. It's powerful. It's powerful. All right, so good for him. I think he's going to get an endorsement with my pillow. I think Mike Lindell's gonna fucking sign that guy up.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Step up.

[Adam Carolla]

Step up and give him a pillow deal. Maybe his own signature choke out pillow.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

That's really dark.

[Adam Carolla]

They're gonna do something, right? He will probably be able to sue the city of New York because the judge got over his skis and made a bad call. Once they came back, like, hung on something, he gave him some instructions.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Yeah, that was not. That was an interesting part. Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. It's interesting when judges and DAs try to railroad taxpayers and Americans into jails for when they start bending the law to get innocent people incarcerated. That seems a little weird, but I guess it's what they do. But, yeah, he'll probably have a lawsuit against Alvin Bragg in New York and the judge, because the judge gave instructions and then went against his own instructions and sort of made it up as he went along. All right, good. He's out. It's good. And then his parents are going to sue Daniel Penny. Although Daniel Penny doesn't. It's right in the name. It doesn't seem like he has much.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

It's strange.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. And also, I don't know, I guess everyone can just sue everyone now, but if your kid's on synthetic marijuana and running through the subways threatening people and also, I don't know, punch some woman in the back of the head and got arrested before that and got detained and then they got put to a rehab center and then left the rehab center. I don't know. Maybe that's on the family. That's all. All right.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

All right.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Sarah Silverman.

[Adam Carolla]

Sarah Silver.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Sarah Silverman. She says she's become less political because no one wants to hear from celebrities anymore. Yeah, she was.

[Adam Carolla]

I like that. Hollywood has figured out that no one wants to fucking hear from their preachy asses anymore. I love that. I like Sarah, but, yeah, Hollywood, shut up and listen to me.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Yeah. She previously was very involved in politics. I know.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, she liked Bernie Sanders, so she clearly didn't know what she was doing.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

It seemed like back then, everyone liked Bernie Sanders. Rogan had him on. It was like a big kind of cultural revolution.

[Adam Carolla]

He's a fucking communist retard. He's never worked a day in his life, was thrown off a kibbutz for being and too fucking lazy. So fuck Bernie Sanders. But look, if you want to destroy the country, then listen to Bernie Sanders. If you don't want to destroy the country, then don't listen to him. He's a fucking preachy old sack of shit. Other than that, I don't have an issue with him. But I just mean, can we get over our shit? He's a fucking communist. He's a fucking communist who wants some version of that brought here which will destroy our economy and our country. So fuck you if you support Bernie Sanders. I know you think it's cool you got your Che Guevara shirt. Yeah, cool. It's cool. It's all cool. Until you have to fucking live under the thumb of this asshole. So fuck him. And don't these people ever die or go away? Do they ever retire? They just. Bernie Sanders. I'm gonna be 87 years old, and then I'm gonna turn on the news that Bernie Sanders said today. I'm like, pelosi, Sanders, Biden. Do they ever. You understand? Since we were in high school, it's been Bernie Sanders and Pelosi and Biden. It's like they're just there. I know. Yeah, they're just like fixtures.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

It's weird. Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

Does anyone age out? Does anyone retire?

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Does anyone are now caring about politics more and, like, getting involved more, but, like, because people don't really give a shit about politics. Certain people get to harness power and then just float in the background of society being part of. Oh, yeah, that's them. They're making money off the stocks and they're.

[Adam Carolla]

You know, Bernie Sanders is cool if you're rebellious and you're artists and you don't fucking know anything. But if you really just go, what? What? What would this society be if Bernie Sanders had a magic wand and we all lived in it would fucking suck. So fuck that guy. And also, what's he done? What jobs has he created. He's constantly worried about this guy. This guy makes all this money. He pays less taxes. Elon Musk. Hey, Bernie, what have you done? What jobs have you created? What innovation are you? Sat on your fat ass and complain for the last fucking 50 years while exalting the virtues of Russia. How about you shut the fuck up and create something? Start a business. Employ somebody. Pay. Pay for something other than your own shit or your second house, you fucking asshole. Working from home. That means you're also eating from home.

[Dawson]

We suggest stocking your fridge and pantry with fruits and veggies so you always.

[Adam Carolla]

Have a healthy snack within reach. This healthy suggestion is brought to you by Regents Blue Cross Blue Shield of Oregon.

[Dawson]

Together we health.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Ooh, here we go.

[Adam Carolla]

Marjo Gartner.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

We're waiting for earthquake.

[Adam Carolla]

He's coming back. Where's them cantaloupes? We asked you for some free cantaloupes, Jody.

[Neil Harmon]

Say, my friend, what kind of friend?

[Adam Carolla]

Are you still playing? That's right. We saw on television. Where you gonna go play, soldier boy? Say, say, say, say, say, say, say. All right, hold on a second.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Wait.

[Adam Carolla]

First, these guys.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Any gay slurs?

[Adam Carolla]

These guys have down syndrome. Hold on, hold on. Number one. You know what's funny? The bullies. And you know this better than anyone. The bullies in movies, it was like, Fonz the F. Kelly Leake from the Bad News Bears. The list goes on and on. There was, like, Chachi, cousin from Joe the Tough Guy, Squiggy and Lenny. The tough guys went about 145 pounds and gave away 4 inches of height to regular dudes. Like, hey, tough guy, Henry Winkler's a miniature. Yeah, he's small, not well built, man. And Kelly Leake, like, the tough guy from the baddest years, was the smallest, skinniest guy on the diamond. Why? Why do they get to be the tough guys? You know what the answer was? They smoke. Which gives you an advantage in the ring, right? Right? Yeah, if you can ride a dirt bike.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

You can ride a motorcycle and smoke.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

You beat the shit out of any MMA guy. I don't care how. I don't care. Brock Lesnar shows up. You fucking put that cigarette down. Put the kickstand down and start whooping some ass.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Flick it in his face.

[Jordan Harmon]

I'm pretty sure Kelly smoked while riding.

[Adam Carolla]

He smoked wild. Yeah, every bully was smaller than this guy. And they're just sort of weird central casting white guys.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

So this guy's apartment is filled with, like, war memorabilia and machetes and. Wait, It's a little creep. Also, I thought you. When you said, oh, he had a wig, like that was his choice for the role. No, no, he's got a wig.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Put it on.

[Neil Harmon]

Like in the movie.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Yeah, he has.

[Adam Carolla]

Like, why do you need to put Doris Day's blonde wig on? To go out and provide protection for the community. All right, they didn't go homo here. But hold on. Maybe more. I don't know. Build himself like a locker.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Oh, okay, there's women involved.

[Adam Carolla]

A naked chick. Well, semi naked. Poster chick.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

There's gonna be some work out there. I don't know why he's fixing his hair and then putting up and I don't know who he's supposed to be. He's got Nazi memorabilia.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

He's got Vince Durando working out. These guys come in.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

What?

[Adam Carolla]

What?

[Jordan Harmon]

Was it true that blondes have more fun?

[Adam Carolla]

Got a wig? What's Lenny Kravitz doing that? Yeah, there's White Lenny. All right, pause. If that guy wasn't known as White Lenny Kravitz, I don't. I don't know. Okay, you have cop sunglasses and you didn't button your shirt all the way up. It doesn't make you tough when you're 5, 9 and 1.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

I want a jean jacket like that.

[Adam Carolla]

It used to just be like, listen, why can I kick your ass? I own boots, I smoke, and I have a dirt motorcycle, so look the fuck out. All right, wait, go back. They're gonna. Now they're calling him homo.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Oh, yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, yeah. Say, Joe, do you fag? If I know you as a fag, go back a little. Oh, I want you to apologize to me, Joe.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Gotta beep.

[Adam Carolla]

There's definitely sexual component to this movie. Yeah. You said he didn't say anything.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

I asked for the slur and he gave the slur.

[Adam Carolla]

There we go. I told you he was a fag. Wait, go back. Go back a little bit. All right, there we go. Sorry.

[Jordan Harmon]

Was it true that blondes have more fun?

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, no.

[Jordan Harmon]

Look at that.

[Adam Carolla]

I told you he was a fag. Say, Jody, you fagged? If I known you as a fag, Jody, I'd have been up here before. Hold on. Pause it. I'm nine.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

I'm sitting at the El Portal Theater in North Harvard going, I thought this movie about earthquakes. What the fuck's going on? Why are you scrambling my sexuality with this sea story that's going on here? Are there supposed to be buildings collapsing and people falling into ravines? I know that's a weird sexual Jody with the blonde wig and pictures of bodybuilders and guys dropping F bombs every. What's going on in the middle of this film here from 19. What is it, 74 or something? Yeah, there's nine years old watching this shit. Getting my brain scrambled. I'm sorry. Run it back. You gotta run it back about 30 seconds. Let's see. I'll let it run through. That's good. So they're in this creepy apartment. You guys all gonna watch this film now, right?

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Yeah, definitely watch this film.

[Adam Carolla]

Why does he have to put the wig on?

[Jordan Harmon]

Was it true that blondes have more fun?

[Adam Carolla]

And why does he leave his door wide open when he's got these goons wandering the halls? Say, Jody, you fag. If I known you as a fag, Jody, I'd have been up here before. Could have used the money. Paul in. Hey, left, right, left, right, right, left, right. Let's decorate the warrior. Dumping trash on it. All right, hold on a second. Does his room have a door on it? Like, why wouldn't he shut the door when he walks?

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

No, it's like a rooming house. I just.

[Adam Carolla]

It's a rooming house.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Says rooms for rent.

[Adam Carolla]

I did see that. But he did enter his room. Even rooms for rent have doors, right?

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Yeah, he has a door right there, clearly. But I don't know.

[Adam Carolla]

He just shut the door before you put the gay wig. Wig on Jody. And then, I don't know. Who are these guys? And what's it take to get thrown out of this house? You know what I mean? It's gotta be some protocols. Like, hey, you can't throw trash at the other renters and call them fag every 10 seconds. That's. Sorry.

[Jordan Harmon]

And the one guy who says he could make some money if he only knew. What is he talking about?

[Adam Carolla]

I think it was just a. I'll give you. Give me 20 bucks.

[Jordan Harmon]

I'll blow you, bro.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, you could go up. You could walk onto Geffen's yacht back then and just go, all right, I'll give you 20 bucks if you suck my dick. Robert Geffen would go like, okay, man, I gotta do it. Boarding houses in the 70s employed guys to make sure no gays rented a room. Oh, these guys. And I like it. Cause they got the wigger guy, they got the rhinestone country guy, and they got kind of the long shoreman guy. Like, they have the three thugs. Yeah, the three stratas of thug. These guys have nothing to do with one of each other. But I look at the guy. I look at the wigger guy with the huge fro. And call him. Drop some F bombs if I have these guys. But anyway, these guys hang out at a boarding house just waiting for people to return from work and then attack them verbally and throw trash at them. And then the Internet. According to the Internet, he put on the short blonde wig to cover longer than army regulation hair.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah. That makes no sense to put more hair on. Oh, I get it.

[Adam Carolla]

Hair. His doorstep wig is every bit as long as his natural locks.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

All right. So they throw a trash can at him and he leaves. He gets into his. And again, I like unmotivated anger, you know? I mean, the guys are just like, I gotta get this guy. O. He gets in his Cortina or his Corvair. No, it's a Corvair. Corv Convertible Corvair. Unsafe at any speed.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

And drives off. Now, the motion in this model was. So anyway, then the earthquake hits, you know, Act One.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

What a classic.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, you know. You know, act one. Chuck Heston's an architect, right? And they're, like, having meetings with him and they're like, listen, we saved a ton of dough by skimping a little on some of the engineering. And he's like, damn it, man. Those calculators. Those calcs were worked out in advance for 7.3 hits. We're all going to be dust. It's like, hey, don't worry about it, man. We save good money on the building. But just cutting a couple of corners and you know what's going to happen to that guy in that fucking building. Right? Yeah. Yeah. Well, there you go. I know everyone's talking about Daniel Penny now and Marjo Gortner.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Yes.

[Adam Carolla]

Later on, does he shoot those guys later on. Oh, my God, Ace, those thugs are looting. And now the fucking worm has turned. Right?

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

Because he sees those guys. Those guys. Business model is, we're going to sit on the stoop of this boarding house until a disaster hits, and then we'll loot. That's when we make our money.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

It's a very specific strategy.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. They catch them looting and they have to kiss his ass now. Right.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

You know, Cycle, thanks for that.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, Maybe they didn't steal these necklaces and things. Maybe they're just fags that like to dress up in women's jewels in the car. No, Jody. Well, I guess we'll have to shoot them. Hey, wait a minute, Jody. I was telling these guys just today to lay off. I swear to God I was. Ask them. Yeah, ask him. If you're those naked guys on the wall, that didn't mean nothing. We knew that you lifted weights and all that crap. Scum. Black. You think you can get away with anything? Push people around when you want to, steal when you want to make fun of men who have to work for a living, huh? Not today. Hey, come back, you guys. Eyes only. Kidding. Hey, hey, don't do that, man. Oh, not like back in the store.

[Neil Harmon]

Is it, Miss Amici?

[Adam Carolla]

No scrawny bitches coming in asking for double green stamps two days after the special's over, huh? None of that stuff. This works in a supermarket unhinged. I want this whole patrol area quarantined. I gotta believe through without being questioned. Can't tell. They might be loaders.

[Neil Harmon]

What about the people trying to get through to Wilson Plaza aid station?

[Adam Carolla]

I like that. This guy's kinda okay with it, you know? All right, did I gotta believe his commanding officer would frown a little upon shooting down on you? Just dropping like 22 rounds into three guys are just standing there. Yeah, that guy stole a necklace. All right, here we go. Also, I like that the guys took off and then he went, that's just kidding. And they're like, all right, thanks. Yeah, I get it. And they. Why? What's in it for them to like, why they turn around? What's with the change of heart?

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Well, that's the rules of engagement. They're coming back at you. They're coming right for me.

[Adam Carolla]

There's a lot of F bombs dropped there. A lot.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Clean that up for you to remember.

[Adam Carolla]

I got a picture. 9 and a half year old Adam Carolla sitting at the El port. What is this? Is this what adulthood is like?

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

Do I have this to look forward to? Is this going to be my life?

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Who took you to that?

[Adam Carolla]

I would just turn in bottles, make money. Nice. But am I going to be the guy sitting on the brownstone stoop or am I going to be the homo up in the unit putting the wig on? Like, which one am I going to be? Richard Roundtree was in this movie as well. Shaft. Shaft.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

I didn't know that. Shaft.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. And. Oh, God. Oh, I just told you, but I'm sleep deprived. But from Bad News Bears.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Oh, yeah. Would this be on the list?

[Adam Carolla]

Huh?

[Jordan Harmon]

Walter Math.

[Adam Carolla]

Walter Math.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Would this be on the list? Like, you know how you do the most 80s movies? Would this be on the list of the most 70s movies of all time?

[Adam Carolla]

It's pretty. It's pretty much, yeah. Because Chuck Heston was having an affair with Karen Black, who was in all sorts of 70s movies, and his. Chuck Heston's wife was a big star siren. You know, these people have these big movie careers in the 50s and the stuff. And then they'd end up on a sitcom or they'd end up in some shitty earthquake movie or something. But his wife, you'll know immediately, or she's up on the bill, whatever. Up there, Chuck jogs in a jogging suit. Back when they had jogging suits. Not like sweatsuits or sweatpants. Jogging suits. Like the $6 million man. You know, like he ran in a jogging suit. All you have to do is name the first five people in this cast and they'll. Ava Gardner. Ava Gardner.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

There she is.

[Adam Carolla]

Ava Gardner. Come on. You don't know Ava Gardner? Ava Gardner. Frank Sinatra's guma. I mean, Ava Gardner is the most beautiful woman in Hollywood and all that. And now she's just doing this. She's playing this alcoholic wife of whatever. The seventies ruined everything. Oh, yeah. George Kennedy is in it. Yeah. They're all Victoria principals in it.

[Adam Carolla]

They drink this Christmas time at all. Neil Harmon is here. Jordan Harmon is here. Yes, they're related. Homestead's name of the film. It's available in select theaters December 20th. Angel Studios. And I've got my dry bar special coming out so we can talk about that as well. Good to see you guys.

[Brad Williams]

Great to see you too, Adam.

[Adam Carolla]

So so Angel Studios. I think everyone likes it and it's all happening at once and that it's happening over here with Daily Wire and it's happening over there with Joe Rogan. It's happened over Here with Angel Studios and there are countless others. I don't know. Substack. It just keeps going. But it's good.

[Brad Williams]

It feels so good.

[Adam Carolla]

It feels so good. Right? And I am not. I am up in the stands cheering for my successful child out on the field. It's the way I feel about it. You know, the dad, you know, blew his knee out in high school and never made it to the show. No. I've been saying for years, look, half this country is conservative or. Or Republican or let's just put it this way. Half this country has traditional values and thinks normally they're just normal thinkers. They're not for the Drag Queen story hour. They think like normal people. That's half the country. They have wallets. They will do commerce. They need product. Why aren't we talking to them? And I was told, shut up and don't bring this up and look away and stay in your lane. And it's completely gone cattywampus in just literally the last six months. But the last four years, it's just turned around, right?

[Brad Williams]

It totally has.

[Neil Harmon]

I think 10 years ago you would say, okay, you've got the conservative Republican side of the equation and the Democrat liberal side of the equation. But there's that graphic, I think I even saw it on. On X this last week, where it shows this guy who's like, I'm a liberal or I'm a Democrat. And then it shows. Or even a centrist. And you just see the left moving further and further left on this meme. And all of a sudden the left's turning back to the centrist guy and being like, you're a bigot. And he's like, no, I haven't moved.

[Adam Carolla]

I'm in the same spot. I think Elon posted that several months ago. And you guys come from a different place than I come from, but I come from here. I come from sort atheists. Free to be you and me, kind of do your own thing. Hippie types. And I would have been sort of appalled if someone would have said, you're conservative. I would have been like, I'm not conservative. I'm for everything. You know, I'm easy. I want everyone to do what you want to do. Don't hurt me. You know, I was everything. And then they started going crazy. And then I disagreed and then got painted is this. But the good news is the commerce side has woken up to this. That these people, maybe Michael Jordan knew about it years ago with Republicans by Nikes as well. So I'm not going to Insult them. But Angel Studios has been early money with that. And dry bars. Crazy, because, you know, I had Jay Leno talking to me about Drybar. Just all these people. It's in the zeitgeist. I hang out in the comedic community now, and I was just hanging around with Sam Morrell and Adam Ray. You crushed it, by the way, special.

[Brad Williams]

I was there. And you got a standing ovation in Provo, Utah. That's something else. I remember when we were at your, like, when we did this podcast, I said, do you really have 25 minutes of mater? You're like, no, I'm going to go, and I'm not going to try to figure out the line. I'm just going to make that audience happy. I'm going to do something I've never done before. And I just. It just speaks to your intellect, your craft, your ability to be a true comedian. And you just did a fantastic job.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, we'll play Eclipse and we'll talk about it, but I had a really long philosophical discussion with Sam Morrell. It's a very funny stand up and backstage for a long time. And I was kind of saying. And so first off, I said, dry bar. And they're like, oh, yeah, dry bar. Yeah, dry bar. Everyone knows dry bar, which is kind of cool. And dry bar, just so everyone knows, is a dry bar. It's a facility that's got a bar in it with no alcohol in it. But everything else, although you're kind of missing the. Well, if you had a choice, Nothing else, just alcohol. So.

[Neil Harmon]

But we have great snacks. The snacks.

[Brad Williams]

Brazilian limeade.

[Neil Harmon]

Brazilian limeade's amazing.

[Adam Carolla]

And the nachos are to die for. So it's a facility, which is really cool. And I. I love the DIY part of life. You're sitting in my sort of diy, you know, had a warehouse built, a studio built, some offices, told people to come here and do it here. So I like that. And I've been, you know, doing this here for 15 years, so it's not, you know, Johnny come lately. But you guys have the facility. It's all wired up. It's all cameraed up, it's all teched up, it's all lit up. It's got a cool balcony. It's old school, but has a modern vibe to it. And you have seats set up, I don't know, about 300 people. Very fun crowd. Good crowd. And so what I was saying to Sam was, I said, look, he said, I couldn't do clean. I couldn't do clean. I Said, no, you can do it. You can do it. And then he goes, yeah. I mean, Jim Gaffigan's clean and Seinfeld's clean, and they can do it. I go, oh, you're good. You can do it. You don't want to do it. You can do it. You know, and if you just sort of globally look at it as sort of a challenge. I don't mean dry bar standup. I just mean in life, when people go. You go, I could never swim to Catalina or. I could never run a half a marathon or adopt a whatever. Like, whatever that thing is where you go. I could never go. No, people do it. You can do it. Yes. So that was my thought now, that it makes it more interesting because it makes it sort of like a challenge and an obstacle course. Yes. And when I did Dancing with the Stars, they were like, this is prime time. This is live. This is abc. You cannot go on with that potty mouth. You can't talk how you talk on cable at night. And I go, okay, that's my. Then that would be my challenge.

[Brad Williams]

Right.

[Adam Carolla]

And that's sort of the way I.

[Neil Harmon]

Approached it, What I told your producer before we walked in. As I said, Adam might have an issue with his future shows and that we've had comedians that will go and do a clean set, and then. And then they'll go tour, and they'll have these people come up after them, whether it's like an old lady or some, you know, more conservative person walks up to and goes, I am so disappointed in your vulgar mouth, young man. I saw you on Dry Bar, and you were so much more clean in these. Like, that's been. The issue with Drybar blew up. It was great. And now I've got people come to my show. They're not expecting me to do a different type of set, because that's. Clean isn't his thing.

[Brad Williams]

Jeff. Jeff Allen. Jeff Allen was on Drybar, and he said. Cause he's. You know, he's been around forever. And he said, drybar is, like, bigger than Johnny Carson was for a comedian. Like, you go and you nail it on Drybar, and it just explodes. Like, he did more shows after that year than he had done in his career. And so that's where that effect happens, is that there are other comedians who normally do a blue show. They do a dirtier show because they're working the clubs, and then they go to the clubs, and these people start showing up, and it's not their audience anymore.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, well, look, these are called First World Problems. Too many people bought too many tickets and are too disappointed. Cry me a river. You know, I feel I had a conversation with someone about this phenomenon. Like, what if all these, you know, Orthodox Jews and Christians and Sikhs, cup shakers and Quakers, candlestick makers. What if they all show up at your show and they're very disappointed? You know, they want to hear the language. I said, you know, I can do the shows without the language. That's offensive. I'm not gonna do the shows without the ideas that are offensive, because offensive ideas, while not inherently offensive, but provocative ideas are. That's comedy.

[Brad Williams]

That's right.

[Adam Carolla]

The shits and the fucks. Yeah, you can carve those out. Anybody who has to do a late night set, just carve it out. Or a corporate gig, you know, don't say that.

[Neil Harmon]

You know, the core of comedy is that you're telling something that's truthful, that's like a critical idea, and you're articulating in a way that everybody goes, man, that's so true.

[Brad Williams]

You're giving society the permission to talk about things that they're not allowed to talk about.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. So what I did is I thought, well, let's take a look at, I don't know, maybe two and a half hours of material that I have, and let's. You can start by like, you know, get rid of the F bombs and the S bombs. Okay. Get rid of the cursing. All right, fine. That's easily done. Your assistant could do that, you know, like, literally get rid of the cursing. And then the next one is, what ideas are we talking about? Because, you know, there's two crossing the lines. There's language, but then there's also content. You're talking about things that are too provocative and too cross that line. So then started whittling it down. And then you get creative, you start trying to go, well, I think this idea can still work, but it's going to have to be reconjigured. We have to change the language a little bit. And I found that to be kind of an interesting process. I didn't find it burdensome.

[Neil Harmon]

Was it more difficult or less difficult than you expected?

[Adam Carolla]

I have a kind of a confidence that, look, you're going to tell me to do something. If you give me some lead time, I'll work it out and I'll show up and I'll be ready and I'll be prepared. It didn't help that I hadn't run. Okay, so what it was is I had this clean, like you said, 25 minutes was 45 minutes. Yeah.

[Brad Williams]

No, you did 45. I mean, 25 was the.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, yeah. So I was like, I was going around playing clubs in theaters, and I didn't want to run my Mormon set for the people who bought a ticket to see me at a theater in Sodom and Gomorrah. You know what I mean? Because that's not what they then pay for me to experiment with them. You know, they just wanted the full Monty, you know, that's what they were expecting. So what I would do in an hour and ten minutes set is sprinkle in a little dry bar, run. Yeah. You know, and then get back to the next.

[Neil Harmon]

Get that feedback loop for that one specific time.

[Adam Carolla]

Right. But what I couldn't do is put together 45 minutes of squeaky clean for these guys who paid a bunch of money to buy a ticket to come see me in Casper, Wyoming. All right? So at the very end, I had a date in Pasadena at the Ice House here the day before we're coming out to do it. And I had not run the whole thing together at all. And so I said, well, I gotta put together like 20 or 25 minutes. And I don't know why, but I'm from the Valley. So I was like, screw you, Ice House. You get what you get. You know, you're not like a drive by experience. Yeah. You're not like the proud people of Wyoming who wait in line to see me. Just guys from Pasadena, you know, comments.

[Neil Harmon]

On your podcast, they're gonna be like.

[Adam Carolla]

I paid good money for that. So I got. It was like a Tuesday night, and it's like, oh, right, you get what you get, you know? And so I got up there and I was like, now listen, it's gonna be clean. For the first half hour, it's gonna be clean. And they all started booing, and I was like, oh, damn. Aw, man. And then I did it. And three minutes in, they forgot it was clean. They were just hearing jokes, just enjoying themselves, and they were laughing the whole time. And I was like, okay, all right, I think I can do this now. So that's kind of got done with.

[Neil Harmon]

Your 30 minutes and said, gotcha. See, it was funny.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, look, no one can argue with Jim Gaffigan and Jerry Seinfeld. Nate Barkotsky, he's killing Nate Barkatsky. Guys who work clean, it's a challenge. And if you gave every comedian truth serum, they would go, I'm scared to do clean because it's too hard. And I kind of fall back on some of my Stuff, and it's a little bit of a crutch. But the reality is, doing standup in and of itself is a challenge in terms of the way most society views standup. They go, it is a challenge to go up there alone, not the front man for a ban. And you don't juggle. You're not a ventriloquist. Sorry, Jeff Dunham. You go up there alone and you entertain for an hour or 45, whatever it is. Right. So they go, that's a challenge. And then within the challenge, you try to build in little crutches and little bits and pieces that kind of make it a little easier. So if you have a catchphrase and you go, get her done, then you can kind of fall back on that a little bit. Like, take a little bit of the onus of the pressure. Right. And. And people do that sometimes. If it's a heavy set comedian, they'll make jokes about, you know, make some fat jokes or whatever. Certain ethnicities will fall back on it. So it's anything you can use to not have to do the pure hour of just you being witty, you'll fall back on.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Yep.

[Adam Carolla]

It'll just be that much easier. Sometimes people get that way with crowd work where they go, hey, this guy. Look at that shirt. Where'd you get that shirt? You know, and they start laughing. It's just. It's a break from having to just. It's like sometimes people will be doing, like, pushups or something, then they stop and they get up and they go, yeah, yeah. They're not really doing it. They're resting. But it's a way to rest for a second, because no one just would do push ups for an hour.

[Brad Williams]

Yep.

[Adam Carolla]

But when you kind of get rid of that stuff, that's the part where you go, oh, it's just push ups for this period of time. But I had fun.

[Brad Williams]

We had so much fun having you there. I was astounded at how well it went.

[Neil Harmon]

It's kind of like, I mean, that's life, right?

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah.

[Neil Harmon]

Like, you go through those challenges and you're like, okay. You know, no matter what you're doing, you get to the end, you're like, it's push ups.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. But you get. It all translates and transferable and carries over to the next challenge or the next. Whatever that metaphor is, it just goes. Right.

[Neil Harmon]

What was funny is when we. You know, we've had many times where a comedian will come and there's. There's definitely always lines around Drybar, which is exciting because it's kind of known there in Provo, and people come all over the state to see it, all over the nation. But when you came into town, I mean, that line was just going around the block. It went around the block. People were lying, and it was, like, way ahead of time. People were so excited. I was like, this is. This is really cool to watch. You know, people line up like this and just be so ecstatic about you coming.

[Adam Carolla]

My fans tailgate with Yoohoo and grape juice and Gatorade at the dry bar, showing up in advance of tailgating with Shirley Temples. You can go to drybarcomedy.com Adam and see the special. Right? Yeah. I gotta tell you, I was proud to be there. I was happy to do it. The facility was great. The people were great. Everyone from stage manager to makeup and hair. It's really good, tight, respectful, accommodating crew. And I've just. It was just a good, good overall experience. And I think we're gonna probably do some more, right?

[Neil Harmon]

Oh, man, we'd love it.

[Brad Williams]

Love to have that. Love to have you back.

[Adam Carolla]

And we'll show. We'll play a couple of clips for you guys. But I feel remiss because of Homestead, and that's Neil McDonough in that. Right? Good, dude. And you guys just met with Kevin Costner. Are we allowed to say that? Sure.

[Neil Harmon]

We did lunch with Kevin.

[Adam Carolla]

You did lunch?

[Neil Harmon]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

That's juice, man.

[Brad Williams]

He said you're.

[Adam Carolla]

You're.

[Brad Williams]

You're very quick. Very quick. Your. Your mind is just incredibly.

[Neil Harmon]

One of the smartest people he's ever met.

[Brad Williams]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

Wow.

[Neil Harmon]

Yeah. Yeah. He's just. He's just like. He's so. He's so sharp, and he. Your. Your ability to articulate ideas and just, like, process things. He was. He was blown away.

[Brad Williams]

That was my first time meeting him. And his story, from, like, his will on, everything he's done, from when he was a kid to sleeping in a truck to going to Alaska on his own, like, fascinating, fascinating guy.

[Adam Carolla]

I completely agree. I find him to be certainly one of the most genuine guys you'll ever meet in Hollywood, especially a celebrity at his level. Also, he's super decent, and him and I have always just been sort of thick as thieves for no good reason. I've not had projects to put him in or money to seed money for his restaurant chains or anything. He just likes me, and I've always. There's nothing not to like about him. Plus, he's got acreage in Ventura county, so you play your cards right, you can sustain his double wide over there, that's icing on the Costner cake. But he's a good and also kind of last of the Hollywood throwback, good dudes, you know, like back when Hollywood had dudes.

[Neil Harmon]

He's definitely that type where, you know, you even look at his history, there's so many of his projects that just fall into that middle America, you know, values based type entertainment. And so he, he's kind of a classic. Almost feels like a classic western cowboy.

[Adam Carolla]

He wants to tell stories that you guys probably gleaned that from lunch. I've talked to him on the phone. I had a conversation with almost two hours on the phone. It's like stories, stories. This guy, he was born and he did this and then he bought that. Then he built that he really into Americana story. So I see why Angel Studios would be probably a pretty good fit for him. Costner's always been a little bit of a Hollywood outsider, but he's always been accepted in Hollywood because Hollywood, if they think they can make money off you, they'll never fully push you out of their system. If there's commerce, that's number one. All the ideology stuff, that's kind of second for them.

[Brad Williams]

I'd say we'd be thrilled to work with him. That would be up to him if he wanted to. We were just doing lunch and we get to meet some incredible people along this path. And he respects you a lot.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, listen, I'm tickled pink now. You guys are gaining the sort of little more mainstream effect, respect sort of now working with other directors and other stuff that's a little broader than where you started, right?

[Brad Williams]

Well, I mean, DryBar was our first project, so I mean, it has over 154 million viewers. And so it's about as broad as you can possibly get. And it just so happens that if you like, you know, when you went and did a set that was a new challenge, that set is more broad. And so everything that we've done we felt like is like general audience type material. And so now Cabrini is a film we launched early, earlier this year, I guess, that tested for the coasts. So that surprised us. Like, we released a movie that was more popular on the coasts.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, really? Than the flyover states.

[Brad Williams]

Yes.

[Adam Carolla]

Which is sort of bread and butter for you guys.

[Neil Harmon]

That's right, Yep.

[Brad Williams]

So, yes, Angels getting more broad to point.

[Neil Harmon]

And there's a, you know, it was this. Over the last years, we, you know, in the beginning days when we first rebranded to angel, you know, you would wear an angel shirt around and to your point, you know, there'd be some people who would recognize it. But now it's getting to the point where if you were, you know, if I wear an angel shirt in an airport, you know, I was in Cape Town, South Africa, and this person stopped me, was just like, man, I just love what you're doing.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, really?

[Neil Harmon]

Love Angel Studios.

[Brad Williams]

Oh, I got off the plane in El Salvador and a taxi stopped. Just walking out of the airport. Taxi stopped, rolled down the window. Unkill.

[Adam Carolla]

Unkill. Gracias.

[Brad Williams]

Gracias.

[Adam Carolla]

Wow. Yeah.

[Neil Harmon]

So it's definitely, it's definitely surreal. The, the penetration it's getting to. From a brand perspective. Like, we, I don't think you. We kind of live in our bubble where we're just head down trying to go figure out how to solve these problems and get great stories to the audience. And then when we kind of break out of our bubble, we start realizing, oh, wow, this is actually, this is getting really, really broad.

[Adam Carolla]

How does the guild work? Because I think people would be fascinated in the concept and the process of what I know as the Guild. It may not be a household term for others. But you guys, have you seen your poster? No, I've not, but thank you. Holding a bar show.

[Neil Harmon]

Adam comes clean.

[Brad Williams]

It's called Adam Carolla Comes Clean. The app. Like if you download the angel app, you can just click on the Guild button and then there's a section in the guild where you can review comedy, you can review films for kids, films for general audience.

[Adam Carolla]

Who comprises the guild?

[Brad Williams]

It's 550,000 people from over 150 countries.

[Adam Carolla]

Wow.

[Brad Williams]

Yeah.

[Neil Harmon]

And growing very, very rapidly.

[Adam Carolla]

And who are the voting members of the Guild?

[Brad Williams]

Those are the voting members.

[Adam Carolla]

All of them.

[Neil Harmon]

All of them, yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

So it's not a percentage or an algorithm or what have you?

[Brad Williams]

Well, there's every time that like your special was submitted to the guild, then a sample of the guild voted on.

[Adam Carolla]

Right.

[Brad Williams]

Corolla comes clean.

[Neil Harmon]

They pass it. People can't go into the guild and search. Adam Corolla comes clean. I want to review that one. It's really, as you go into it, there's a process of randomizing and making sure that we're getting statistically significant data, how people are resonating with it.

[Adam Carolla]

Right. So you guys will not greenlight a project if the guild doesn't green light it.

[Neil Harmon]

Correct.

[Adam Carolla]

And the. And that is whether it's 60% or.

[Brad Williams]

65, like, or it's a guild score of 70 for streaming and 85 to be considered for theatrical.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, so you need a plurality of people. You need the lion's share of the guild to sign off on a feature because it's that big a commitment.

[Brad Williams]

That's right.

[Neil Harmon]

The beautiful part about that is it goes back to what Neil was saying when you said, you guys are getting really broad. I think the guild's actually got us to where it's selecting broad titles already. Like it's, it's, it. You, you can get to a small market of people who are like, you know what? I just want values that reflect my values. I don't care if the production quality sucks, I don't care if the storytelling is horrible, as long as it's reflecting my worldview. Yeah, those, those things exist. That's not angel.

[Adam Carolla]

Right?

[Neil Harmon]

To get up to those levels where people are giving you their unbiased opinions, they have no incentive to go and say, yeah, this is great. The reality is we've made those metrics very, very difficult to surpass because we don't want it just to be about, this is my worldview. It's entertainment first. And it happens to be interwoven with incredible values that amplify light in a meaningful way. And so that allows us to have stories that are extremely entertaining and excellent, not just those important values.

[Brad Williams]

And it's a super small sample size, but I have a five year old and a seven year old boy. They love to play and they fight. And when I come home, they're like, dad, can we see if there's anything new in the Guild for kids? They love to go to the Guild and they want to vote on what's.

[Adam Carolla]

And they're not gonna. I mean, God knows I have kids. It's not because you're their dad or because you're dry bar guy, because you're angel studio guy or field guy. They want to watch it.

[Brad Williams]

They're not asking to watch their favorite show. They're asking to go to the Guild first.

[Adam Carolla]

I said this to Mike August, who's really the guy who. Honcho. This whole thing kind of had a. Had a thought about this and me and dry bar and all that kind of stuff. And I was talking to him about the next one shooting February, I think later. February. So I thought, so now, like I'm on the clock, you know, I'm trying to figure out, all right, I gotta get some clean material together. Been doing a lot of R. Kelly stuff lately. Probably, probably not gonna make the cut over there. Some of the R. Kelly cakes, perhaps. But anyway, I said to him, I said, so he's going wow. Drivers get real popular. And I said, but it's kind of a philosophical thing and a joke. I said, don't worry. One day we'll be doing something Dry bar after dark, and I'll get to do all my R. Kelly stuff. It'll get so popular that they'll just give it a little label, and then Bill Burr will do a dry bar special with them after dark.

[Neil Harmon]

We planted that seed inside of Nate McClellan, who hands up dry bar. And he came into the office. He's like, you know, there's a couple elements of Adam special that were. You know, he slipped up here or there, and he's like. But we're thinking he had a really good idea. Let's do dry bar after dark.

[Adam Carolla]

It's coming one day. Maybe not on your watch, but that kid of yours is not a fan. Once he takes over, it's gonna be dry bar after dark. I guarantee it. Well, you know, it really. It does. It is something that happens in success. You know, you start broadening, and then you open another division. And then there's a kind of a thing where you go, well, we'll just separate it from this by calling it that. But it'll be the same sort of parent company. Because you. One of the challenges that comes with success, you know, whether you're selling salad dressing or entertainment, is popularity. You know, you start going, you know, we'd save a lot if we use sunflower oil instead of olive oil and the olive oil mix, you know, and you go, how much? Well, it's that, you know, it's quarter unit, but we sell a lot of units now. And then you start. Next thing you know, there's sunflower oil getting mixed in with the. So it's a problem you'd want to have.

[Neil Harmon]

It is.

[Brad Williams]

It is. It's going to be a hard one for us to overcome because we've made this brand promise that angel represents the audience and the guild.

[Adam Carolla]

The guild can detect the guild after. That's a different thing.

[Neil Harmon]

So I want to say this because I think that there's. The guild actually goes to. One of the things I told someone is I said, the canvas that you use is actually less relevant when the values of the canvas are in the right spot. And what I mean by that is, we had a movie that just came through. We're releasing it in January. It's called Brave. The Dark Beautiful Film Guild passed it with flying colors. It was a very, very graphic movie. Very graphic. Whereas, like, holy smokes, this. You know, I don't want to give anything away. But, you know, it shows this kid go through these extremely traumatizing things with his parents. There was lots of blood, and now the guild passed that with flying colors because they were just like, the principles that are in this movie are really, really important, and people need to know that they exist and they're important. And so I think with comedy, you know, there's a lot of comedy that maybe will. It's not to say that it'll never look like the clubs. Right. But, you know, we've had comedians slip up and swear do X, Y, Z. And people still love those comedians because they know they're trying, and they're trying to do it in a way that is really pleasing that general audience. And so I just think the guild will get broader. It will likely approve things.

[Brad Williams]

In fact, we had something that went to the guild almost a year ago and didn't pass, which I was bummed.

[Neil Harmon]

About because I loved the film.

[Brad Williams]

Yeah. And then later on, it came back for like. Because we'll Will take on projects for a.

[Adam Carolla]

Let me just jump in for a second. What are you presenting to the guild? Because it's obviously not the feature. It's.

[Brad Williams]

No, we do present the entire feature.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, you shoot the feature first?

[Neil Harmon]

No, no.

[Brad Williams]

So wills present a short.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. What I'm saying is. Yes, that's what I'm saying. A sizzle reel. A synopsis, a breakdown.

[Neil Harmon]

It'll shoot like a scene. We'll go shoot a scene.

[Adam Carolla]

A scene. Right, right. You have to present before we go to market. Before we go to market.

[Brad Williams]

We do the whole.

[Adam Carolla]

But you can't get the thumbs up from the. From the guild with a finished picture that's not your model. So you show them a four minute, a five minute. Like a sizzle. A scene.

[Neil Harmon]

Yes, yes. But for. For. There are lots of projects that are independently produced, and they come to us afterwards. They already shot the whole thing.

[Adam Carolla]

I see, I see.

[Neil Harmon]

And they come in and say, hey, I've got a film.

[Adam Carolla]

Right.

[Neil Harmon]

It's a great film. They submitted to us didn't quite pass for theatrical and that we were bummed about. They went and did their own theatrical release. And then they came to us and said, hey, are you interested in, you know, launching it into the streaming in the guild to actually. Because we have a rev. Share model with that. And we ran it through the guild again, and the guild had grown. I mean, we had put on 110,000 members last month.

[Adam Carolla]

Last month, last month.

[Neil Harmon]

And so the guild had grown so much. That same movie that the narrower audience had said, not quite for us. The broader audience said, this is great.

[Adam Carolla]

So when something's produced independently outside Angel Studios, you'll take a scene that may represent. Represent that movie nicely and feed that.

[Brad Williams]

Or inside, like, let's take Homestead, for example. Homestead. They showed the opening scene, the opening scene of Homestead. This won't give anything away. There's like a covert nuke that is detonated off the coast of Los Angeles. So that's the way the movie opens. They showed that scene to the Guild. That's how they got the whole project greenlit. And then when we got done, we took the whole feature and put it in front of a sample of the guild as well, to try to get the final cut as strong as possible before going to theaters.

[Adam Carolla]

Our conventional studios, which are. I don't know that they're all struggling, but the old model's a little tough. I think what you guys are doing is what podcasts is or was to terrestrial radio. You know, I used to go to a place and do radio on the Miracle Mile on Wilshire, right? The building, the parking structure was worth far more than all the studios of the top 20 podcasts in the world like, put together. You know, they paid more just for the parking. The parking and then the building and the security and the whole. The lobby and the guy with the floor buffer and stuff. And you'd go up to the seventh floor and they took over the whole seventh floor. And you're like, we're just doing a kind of leaner, meaner, more efficient version of that. Now the product is just your voice out and that's fine. And then you figure out a way to monetize it. But we're doing it without the parking structure and the 30 story commercial building on Wilshire and prime real estate right in the middle of Los Angeles. So Angel Studios is kind of doing that version of podcasting what is to big, big terrestrial radio, several years ago, let's say now other studios and terrestrial studios, we'll call them, like traditional studios. They're obviously, they have to take notice of what you're doing. Some don't like it because they feel like it's competing with them and they're doing it much leaner and much meaner. But there also has to be others folks sort of sending feelers over and kind of checking it out and going like, well, how does this guild work, for instance? And what if we formed our own guild over here at Hulu, you know, and there's gotta be some cherry picking of people and brain Picking of others. There must be something that's going on.

[Brad Williams]

Absolutely, yeah. And we've heard, I mean, we've heard through the grapevine from people who have, who are in those meetings at the, at the studios. We have yet to have anyone can compete directly with us. But there's a lot of talk on how to compete with angel and bring it on. Like, we figure if the industry moves more towards the audience, that's a win for the.

[Adam Carolla]

Right.

[Neil Harmon]

Yeah. We had a friend, well, that we know and he's, he's a financial advisor for some of the big guys at Disney. And, and one of them, you know, they were talking about, he learned that he, he knew us. And the Disney guy was like, man, there's, there's not an executive meeting that goes by right now that Angel's not being talked about. That was cool. It's kind of interesting compliment where people are going, hold on a sec, what's happening here? Because it's true, there hasn't really been in the last hundred years a meaningful disruption in the entertainment space. Like, there's been little disruptions here and there. Sure, Netflix brought on the streaming model, but it's kind of, in some regards, replicated some of the same issues around misalignment of incentives and causing the production budgets to continue to escalate out of control. And so it hasn't really solved the core of the issues inside the entertainment space. It just moved it to streaming. And so there's definitely rumblings, but to Nil's point, like, competition is great. That's going to cause our team to on our toes. It's going to cause us to perform better, we're going to be more efficient, we're going to serve our audience better. You know, I think the last thing we actually want to happen, and it's one of the reasons I love what Elon does, is, you know, when he open sourced all his patents for Tesla, he's just like, bring it on, let's go. Like, anybody wants to compete with me? Jump right into the.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. And then there's a certain thing. It's Mike Tyson fights. Buster Douglas says that guy punches like a mule, kicks, and then six months later they do it again. You know what I mean? Which is Tyson wanted to fight him again because of how hard he hit.

[Brad Williams]

Yeah.

[Neil Harmon]

Yep.

[Adam Carolla]

Now that's a Tyson mentality, you know, but that's a real kind of warrior mentality. Most people be like, well, let's not get in the ring with this guy again because of how he punches. That had to Feel good talking, bringing up angel studios and just about every one of these meetings studios are having.

[Neil Harmon]

It feels good. But to be honest, we don't. I can't remember the last time I woke up in the morning and was like, okay, what is Disney doing today?

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, yeah.

[Neil Harmon]

Like, it's just, it's not on my brain from the standpoint of like, I'm. We're really thinking about how we view the world, which is an incentive based structure that is benefiting the filmmakers and the distributors and the studios equally based on their contribution to the ecosystem and then that the content is vetted by the audience.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, the audience is. I found the audience interesting because I'm from, you know, atheists from North Hollywood is basically how I grew up, you know, And I was like, who are these people? Are they Mormons? Are all of them Mormons? Are they 70% Mormon?

[Brad Williams]

That's a good question.

[Adam Carolla]

I don't know. How clean is this audience? Like, I know how clean you guys are. I'm not sure, you know, if I told them a couple off color jokes in the parking lot, they wouldn't enjoy it.

[Brad Williams]

Mormons. Who will say, no, it's members of the Church of Jesus Christ. Like, we'll correct you. That's the kind of members we are. But when we actually did a survey of our audience, about 2% of the US population are members and our guild was at 3%. So it just barely, barely over indexes.

[Adam Carolla]

So who's coming out to those shows?

[Neil Harmon]

To the shows at Drybar? Yeah, that's gonna be predominantly the LDS community because it's Utah.

[Adam Carolla]

It's. They seem pretty loose and fun. At least we have a version of them here in atheist land where they're uptight and they're clutching their pearls all the time, you know?

[Brad Williams]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

Didn't seem like loose and fun.

[Neil Harmon]

I think that might have somewhat to do with the fact that we advertised the Adam Carolla standup special. And so everybody who in Utah county is like, we are. Here we go. That's Adam Carolla.

[Adam Carolla]

Let's go. For sure.

[Neil Harmon]

So you might have got the more loose and fun part of Utah.

[Adam Carolla]

No, I got the ringers, the Cracker Jacks. I skimmed the cream off the top of the Provo populace.

[Neil Harmon]

Exactly. But no, I mean, I. If you look at the guild as a whole, not taking into account the live attendees at Drybar is a pretty direct representation of what you're going to see in the United States. It's all over all states.

[Adam Carolla]

And who sees these specials outside? But they end up with millions of views, right?

[Brad Williams]

Yeah, we have over 150 million viewers.

[Adam Carolla]

She is.

[Brad Williams]

And it goes across YouTube, Facebook, Sirius XM, Spotify. Like we're.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, you guys getting a SiriusXM?

[Brad Williams]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

That's interesting. Yeah. I think we have a clip or two from the Drybar special. I'm not sure which ones they are. Someone picked them. I think the problem with Olympic fencing is the outfits. You know, they dress like X ray technicians with a spaghetti on their head. They should be forced to wear the outfits of their country swordsmen from back in the day. Right. You'd watch that. France would have a musketeer, you know, a guy with a boot up to here and a suede vest and a felt hat with a feather in it. Japan would have a samurai United States homeless guy with a machete. He's got a load in his sweatpants, he's missing a flip flop. Shirtless, stole someone's food, threatening judges. Hey, that's funny. And totally clean.

[Neil Harmon]

So great. Such a great, great joke. So good.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, I'm glad you are so easily impressed.

[Neil Harmon]

No, we're not. I mean, that's the thing is it's. Here's the beautiful part about Angels Guild is when you're taking people in their homes where they don't feel judged by anybody else. They're on their TV and someone popped up, the whole special comes through and then we send it through the Angel Guild to a random sampling. They're on their home and their TV and they have zero incentive to say, I like this because I like it.

[Adam Carolla]

Right.

[Neil Harmon]

They have no one judging them. There's no peer pressure, you're not getting groupthink. And they're just telling you exactly what they feel. They're saying, yeah, this is hilarious, or nah, didn't really hit for me. And the same goes for all the types of different genres of content. And so, yeah, we're laughing, you're saying easily impressed. But the reality is that was a sampling of 550,000 people who said, this is an exceptional stand up bit.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, I think we may have a second clip and I'm curious which one this is as. Well, the other big complaint I hear is the line at the bathroom, right? When you go to the concert, you go to the sporting event. Ladies are nodding. You know what I'm talking about. Maybe after the show here. Big line in the ladies room. No waiting at the boys room. Right. All right, but let me explain why that is. Ladies, there's a reason for that. When you women get into the bathroom, you demand A little something called dignity. You want your own miniature house with a door and a latch and a lock and a potpourri basket, and they're pumping and you're just sitting there, the queen on her throne taking your sweet time. Now, if you didn't want to go with the dignity, there would be no waiting. Guys, we got no dignity. We get no waiting. We get a universal trough. We all step to it at once. We hook arms. No dignity. No waiter. Yeah.

[Neil Harmon]

Oh, my goodness.

[Adam Carolla]

That concept. Cleanish little bathroom humor. Literally. But still on the cleaner side.

[Neil Harmon]

It was great. It's fantastic.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, let me give everyone. You can go to drybarcomedy.com Adam and you can watch the entire special. And I think it's like 35, 37 minutes or somewhere in that neighborhood. Free, right? Everything's free.

[Neil Harmon]

Jump in there. Watch it.

[Adam Carolla]

Jump in there and watch it. I'm very proud of it. And again, I look at it as an accomplishment because it was sort of when you, I don't know, laid the gauntlet down a little like, hey, you should do a thing. I'm in the habit of not saying no to people. I just look at it as like, all right, let's give it a shot. But I really did think it's going to be a challenge. I'm happy I was able to pass the test.

[Neil Harmon]

This is where angel kicks into gear. You've done all that time of putting together material, testing it, figuring out if it's resonating with audiences, and now our 200 plus employees are going to kick into gear and start marketing the crap out of this thing and get people to get really pumped about and excited about it, because we do think it's going to resonate with a huge audience.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, what are you two doing sitting around here? Can't you be on the phone right now yelling at employees or cracking a whip somewhere instead of just chewing the fat? I know. Kevin Costner. All right, guys, God bless. Always great to see you, Jordan. It's nice to meet you as well. Homestead is the name of the film. It's available in select theaters December 20th. A dry bar special. I said, that's my stuff. Neil, always great to see you again. And until next time, this is Adam for Jordan and Neil and Mayhem saying.
