[Dawson]

From Corolla 1 Studios in Glendale, California, this is the Adam Carolla Show. Adam's guest today, reality star Big Ed and filmmakers the Kinane brothers. Plus the news with Alicia Crouse. And now Adam Carolla.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, get it on. Got to get on the shows beginning. When did you get it on? Big Ed from 90 Day Fiance is in studio. A lot of fans around here. Dr. Drew is a huge 90 Day Fiance fan. I don't know if you know that.

[Big Ed]

Oh yeah, I did not know that.

[Adam Carolla]

You did not pull that mic nice and close like that. Right here. There. There you go. How did it all start? How, how did you get recruited to do that show?

[Big Ed]

Okay, what a good question. So I never heard of the show and I was met a girl on Facebook, Rose and I was FaceTiming with her probably for about four months and she wanted me to come for her birthday. So I bought a ticket, posted it online on Facebook. Sorry, can I say Facebook?

[Adam Carolla]

Say whatever you like.

[Big Ed]

There you go. So I posted on Facebook and my buddy Rich who's my, my ride home, he brought me up here, he sent me the link and I filled it out like a lotto ticket and basically a 54 year old in love with a 23 year old with a 31 year old daughter. And within two hours they were texting me, we want to talk to you. And the next morning at 7:30 my phone rings and like hey, I'm a producer. You know, can we take a look at your social media? And, you know, I've been dancing on pool tables in a Nacho libre costume for 12 years ago.

[Adam Carolla]

I was Nacho Libre.

[Big Ed]

Nacho Libre. Big fan. So I'm a card. I'm a kind of a crazy entertainer guy. And they're like, oh, they just struck gold, you know. So short story long, I get on.

[Adam Carolla]

The show, they want. Everyone just wants to look at everyone's social media just to see what good and bad, what they're up to.

[Big Ed]

Yeah, absolutely.

[Adam Carolla]

Part of Aryan Nazi youth or culture or something. They want to know that. But they want the fun stuff. Nacho Libre on pool table.

[Big Ed]

Yeah, everything. And above. So didn't have a lot of followers. Maybe had 3, 350 followers. Um, but, you know, everybody on there, I actually knew. Um, so I ended up, you know, saying I'll do the show. I had to move my trip up. They come to San Diego, they show up with cameras, and, you know, I'm a little bit freaked out. And I go, what do I do? And they're like, well, you know, don't. Don't make. Can I cuss or no?

[Adam Carolla]

Do whatever you want.

[Big Ed]

Okay, good. So they're like, don't make shit up and don't look at the camera. And that's all the direction I ever got. So it's. And we're often. And I lived in San Diego. I was an architect. Designer.

[Adam Carolla]

Architect. Designer.

[Big Ed]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

So I'm gonna punch my staff. So I said, what's Big Ed do? And they said, photographer.

[Big Ed]

Yeah. So the show. So that was part of my life. But it was more exciting than, you know, being an architect. Right.

[Adam Carolla]

Not to this podcast host. I like architecture.

[Big Ed]

Well, thank you so much. And by the way, I love your studio and I think I love Evel Knievel.

[Adam Carolla]

I architect it and designed it. What do you. So you do, like, residential stuff, commercial stuff. Like what's your.

[Big Ed]

So I did. I did more German. It was called German Room Concepts. So we did high end kitchens. And then I mainly did loft design, like open space. So I did everything. Soup, the nuts from the floor, you know, to the ceiling. I would order, you know, eight foot Italian tile, you know, which drove the owner of the company crazy because if that stuff cracked in shipping and you're on schedule, it would throw the whole project off. So, yeah. So I'm a professional designer working in Little Italy. In San Diego, there's no parking.

[Adam Carolla]

You guys got a Little Italy over there?

[Big Ed]

Yeah, we do.

[Adam Carolla]

We don't have one in la, you need one. I cannot see us ever getting a Little Italy because that's just basically a white person and we're the target and no one's gonna. We have a Little Ethiopia.

[Big Ed]

Oh yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

We don't have a Little Italy.

[Big Ed]

Yes.

[Adam Carolla]

There's nobody who would ever push for a Little Italy. That would be a hate crime.

[Big Ed]

Well, if you're ever in San Diego, it's a conglomerate of really good restaurants. In fact, Riza is one of my favorite. I have an event there tonight, actually.

[Adam Carolla]

So you're doing architecture and design and you say lofts, but you mean like the kind of working like, you know, there's these open floor plan sort of.

[Big Ed]

Work, loose live spaces now kind of everything and above. So in San Diego we have a lot of high. I did a lot of high rises. So you go and it's an open plan. And I would put up walls, I would take down walls.

[Adam Carolla]

So you're doing in those high end kitchens?

[Big Ed]

Oh yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

I mean how you could spend how much on one of those kitchens? Pretty easily.

[Big Ed]

Oh, a kitchen alone, 300.

[Adam Carolla]

300K?

[Big Ed]

Yeah. You're looking at Gagnel Thermador Miele.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, yeah.

[Big Ed]

The appliances alone are 50 grand.

[Adam Carolla]

Right. And then the surfaces, the cabinetry, blah, blah, blah. I mean you could spend 300 grand.

[Big Ed]

On a kitchen, easy. Yeah. And for me it was good because that was all commission.

[Adam Carolla]

Uh huh. And you're getting the large cast tile on there from Italy.

[Big Ed]

Yes.

[Adam Carolla]

You gotta think what's it like to set tile when the tile is 4 foot wide and 8 foot long and a half inch thick? Like you have to set that tile like that. That's a bit of a chore. I think it's going to involve suction cups.

[Big Ed]

It's incredible. So there was a remodel I did in Del Mar and it was a single slab of soapstone and the thing was probably 60 by 121 solid pieces.

[Adam Carolla]

All right, so hold on. 5 foot by 10 foot. Nobody knows anything anymore. So they don't know numbers or inches or millimeters. No one fucking knows anything. So you have to go five foot by ten foot.

[Big Ed]

Correct.

[Adam Carolla]

So it's ten foot one because it's some metric number.

[Big Ed]

But anyway, it's an island with the sink cut out. It took 10 guys to lift that thing and set it in place.

[Adam Carolla]

So it's a giant island.

[Big Ed]

Yeah. And they basically, it's kind of. They put down this like glue and they just set it mastic. Mastic, yeah. Like a type of glue? Yeah. So I Don't I tell them, look, I'm just the designer. I don't know how you do it. I just design.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, but that's a cool job.

[Big Ed]

It is. Yeah. A lot of fun.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. Yeah. And creative, and I get it. And also, something we're missing philosophically is when you're. You get to walk into a space that's empty, oftentimes just a slab, you know, like, especially if you're doing commercial space, you're doing a high rise, it's just a slab on the floor. And then when you leave, you see a $300,000 kitchen with soapstone and Italian Carrara marble and millet and gaggenau and all that, and you look at it and you go, that's what I do. That's what I do. If you just do data entry all day, you never have that finished feeling.

[Big Ed]

And that's why, although I have a master's in architecture, I never wanted to do architecture. I wanted to be like. I wanted to be with my clients. I wanted to walk into a space, and I know within. I would know within five or ten minutes what I was gonna do. But you can't let the cat out of the bag. You got to ask them, hey, so, you know, what's. What ideas do you have? You know, and. And you have to listen to them because that's. It's part of the design, part of the whole process. But then as I'm listening to them, I already know what I'm going to do.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah.

[Big Ed]

So I'm trying to figure out, how am I going to guide them down this path? Because we have a saying in architecture. You have people with money and no vision, and people with vision and no money.

[Adam Carolla]

Right.

[Big Ed]

And I'm one of those. I have vision and no money. So. So. But it's a lot of fun. I would have all gamuts of clients from the people that. From the people that would. Would try to nickel and dime you, to the people that would just hand me their credit card and go, okay, we need to select your appliances a week. Okay, I trust you. You know, they're in Mexico City or they have a place in Coronado. Those were my favorite kind of clients. I'm like, hey, we need a faucet. Ed, go find me a closet or a faucet. Those are the best kind of clients.

[Adam Carolla]

They have that trust your eye.

[Big Ed]

Absolutely.

[Adam Carolla]

In your experience. So 90 day fiance, they have you as a photographer.

[Big Ed]

Yeah. Well, we did film in my showroom, by the way.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, you did?

[Big Ed]

Yeah, we did. There was a Small sibit. But I got into photography years ago. I started my. My daughter's a young. When she was young, I would do studio pictures of her. And then I kind of got. I fell in love with the idea of having a space where you could control everything from the lighting, you know, to the backdrop or whatever. So I started to do. I got into fashion photography. I started to do covers. I did a lot of. Like, I did a show one time was called Recycled fashion in contemporary form, where I had a friend that owned a. A retro shop. And I would go in and. And she would sometimes just rent me these really cool dresses, and then I would put really cool back colored backgrounds, and then I would.

[Adam Carolla]

I. I mean, you're creative.

[Big Ed]

Yes, I would say pretty much.

[Adam Carolla]

But you had to leave the country to find a bride.

[Big Ed]

You would be surprised how. I mean, and I just heard this the other day that the. The two hardest cities to meet someone is, believe it or not, San Diego and New York. And you would think that there are so many beautiful women that it would be easy. But I. My whole thing with Rose was I could. I could meet a girl in the bar.

[Adam Carolla]

She's from where?

[Big Ed]

Sorry, Philippines.

[Adam Carolla]

Philippines? Yes.

[Big Ed]

So I could be in a local bar in San Diego and meet a beautiful woman or not. But I could do more for Rose in a third Or I call it a fourth world country. I could do more for Rose and her son than I could meeting anyone in a local bar. So I wanted to meet somebody young. I wasn't having very much success in San Diego, and I literally figured, what the heck? I'm making some money. You know, I meet this girl on Facebook. First of all, I thought I would never meet her to begin with. I'm like, oh, this is kind of a pipe dream. We would talk and. But then I got to know her and her dad and her family and her son. I'm like, you know. Okay.

[Adam Carolla]

She lives in the Philippines?

[Big Ed]

Yes.

[Adam Carolla]

Whereabouts?

[Big Ed]

Right outside of Manila.

[Adam Carolla]

Good. Because that's the only place I've ever heard of.

[Big Ed]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

In the Philippines.

[Big Ed]

Did you know this about the Philippines?

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, Bangkok, maybe.

[Big Ed]

Yeah, there you go. That's what she said. There's over 7,000 islands in the Philippines.

[Adam Carolla]

I had no idea.

[Big Ed]

I didn't. I went to one of them. I went to Phuket.

[Adam Carolla]

So you now. All right, let's see if we can break this down. I think when people think of guys going to these places and getting these young, beautiful women, the assumption is as well, they're using you because they want to come To America. They want what you have, they want this lifestyle. And I think to some extent that's true, but to some extent that's sort of all relationships. And for some reason it's kind of interesting. I'm a guy, I live here, I make a lot of money. I didn't have to go to the Philippines, but I still had to fucking pay for everything. And I feel like I got used, you know what I mean?

[Big Ed]

And by the way, when she leaves, not that would happen. They take everything. Yeah, no, right, yeah. So I knew, look, I knew because everybody was like, oh my God, she's just using you. I'm like, of course she is.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, yeah.

[Big Ed]

No, but everyone want a better life for them and their son.

[Adam Carolla]

Everyone uses everyone. Look, okay, let's just say. Okay, let's just say you look like a male model and you live here and then you date someone else who's a model. Well, it's still an aesthetic. I mean, it still looks like there's a money use, there's a look use. I mean, you're using them for their esthetic. Yep, that's a form of use. Like, everything's a form of use. Everybody who works for you is using you and you're using them.

[Big Ed]

Yes.

[Adam Carolla]

They're here because they're getting paid. They wouldn't show up if you weren't paying them. Right. So it's like this, this. I think we break it down too far. I mean, I used to tell people all the time, like, that girl's only talking to you because you're on tv. I'd go, that's why I got on tv. I mean, that's how it works. It makes it easier. George Clooney's wife married him because he's George Clooney. And then he married her because she's skinny and hot and that's how the world works. And I think how it's always worked. So you can't find that in San Diego, so you gotta go across the street to the Philippines.

[Big Ed]

But I had. So I had a lot of friends through my life that were just friends that are girls, but never wanted to cross that romantic line. And then I would have my occasional one night stands or whatever, but I just felt that because of her situation that, you know, I could somehow trust her more because I went through a, you know, like everybody, I went through a bad divorce and it messed me up for. I was single for 28 years. I didn't want to be in an emotional relationship because, well, you messed me up.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, you have an acquired taste as far as an aesthetic goes.

[Big Ed]

Yes, sir.

[Adam Carolla]

A short neck.

[Big Ed]

Yes.

[Adam Carolla]

Ish. Whatever.

[News Reporter]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

How tall are you?

[Big Ed]

I'm five foot tall, five foot even. Five foot even?

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. In a stout, husky build.

[Big Ed]

Yes.

[Adam Carolla]

So, you know, not exactly model material.

[Big Ed]

No, I used to be. I used to be a buck. Like in high school, I looked like a young Erik Estrada.

[Adam Carolla]

Really?

[Big Ed]

Yeah. But that went away pretty quickly just because of life.

[Adam Carolla]

Erik Estrada was quite the heartthrob when he was in chips, let me tell you.

[Big Ed]

Check out my high school picture and people will comment. Oh, my God, what happened to you? I'm like, thanks. People can be really honest.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, people can be brutally honest, especially online. Oh, my God. Because now you can say anything you want. Anything you want. I know. And some of it is unnecessary. Oh, young Erik Estrada, complete with the gold chain and the mustache and everything.

[Big Ed]

I was a young buck. Look at that. What happened?

[Adam Carolla]

You know, time catches up to all of us. I was just reading a comment. I don't know. I did a live show with Megyn Kelly and somebody. I love her, she's great. But somebody commented like, it was good interview, but Adam needs to stay on the radio. Why do we need to see him? I'm like, I don't know. I was interviewing Megyn Kelly. Sorry. They put a camera up. I don't know. There's a thing called YouTube. I don't know. Do you have to sit down and compose? Do you have to sit down and go, let's see? I enjoyed the interview and I enjoyed listening to Megyn Kelly. And I like the comedy stylings of Adam Crawler. But why can't he stay locked in a windowless radio booth? Why do I have to look at him like, I'm gonna write that as a heterosexual middle aged guy so I can push it out to the universe. Which. The other thing, too, it's always weird, is I'm a comedian. I don't bill myself as a Runway model. I just go, I'm a comedian.

[Big Ed]

So it's funny you should say that. I have always been self conscious and I know I'm overweight. And being on. Seeing yourself on TV was like, I'm like, scared the shit out of me. And my. My friends would joke with me, like, oh, well, you guys, the camera adds 10 pounds. Like, well, how many cameras were on you? That was kind of the running joke. But I had to be okay with being okay like you. And obviously you're very comfortable in your own skin.

[Adam Carolla]

And, well, I don't like the way I look either. But I mean, nobody, Nobody. I, I don't know a lot of people that see themselves on TV and go, that's good. I, Everyone who sees themselves on TV goes, I don't like what I'm looking at, but it's good. It's a little low self esteem wired in there.

[Big Ed]

But if you see the women that I get to hang out with, like you get with Megyn Kelly, these are like, like they're, they're twelves. They're the most beautiful women. And, and they, you know, Ed, why. I'm like, why not?

[Adam Carolla]

You get to hang out with twelves?

[Big Ed]

Yes.

[Adam Carolla]

Why?

[Big Ed]

Tomorrow night or tonight, I'm going on a blind date with a. She's a knockout.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, all right. So sorry. We got it. We gotta go back in time. What happened with 90 Day Fiance? I know you went to the Philippines, hung out with the dad and your potential fiance. How old was her son?

[Big Ed]

He was five at the time.

[Adam Carolla]

And how old was she at the time?

[Big Ed]

23.

[Adam Carolla]

And how old were you at the time?

[Big Ed]

43. No, pardon me, 53.

[Adam Carolla]

That's different. All right, 53. And what happened? I don't know how it culminated.

[Big Ed]

Okay, so, so I land. How detailed. So I land, I meet her. She's beautiful, but she had the worst.

[Adam Carolla]

Smelling breath, that Filipino sticky rice breath.

[Big Ed]

But you could. No, it was worse than that. It was like, you have no idea.

[Adam Carolla]

It can be a thing.

[Big Ed]

I kept going, hey, do you want some gum? She's like, no. I'm like, please. Like the cab ride to the hotel that night was, it was almost unbearable. And I'm not trying to be mean, but I'm just saying.

[Adam Carolla]

No, I listen, just.

[Big Ed]

But I'm an American, right? And I'm going to a third, third world country and I come from a city where women laser their bodies.

[Adam Carolla]

Okay, yes.

[Big Ed]

They have dental implants. They're, you know, and here I'm in the Philippines and, and that, that kind of blew me back a little bit. And my, even the, my, the owners of the company told me, ed, by the way, when you meet her, you'll know within two minutes whether it's going to work. And I kind of did.

[Adam Carolla]

Uh huh.

[Big Ed]

Like I kind of really knew within three minutes this is going to be temporary. Like I don't, for some reason, even.

[Adam Carolla]

Though she has breath, is. It's hard to get around.

[Big Ed]

Yes. It's impossible. It's.

[Adam Carolla]

I'm trying to think. I mean, okay, here's what I'm saying.

[Big Ed]

And how do you tell somebody that they have bad breath? Adam, without being mean.

[Adam Carolla]

I fantasized about a job where a person who doesn't belong to the organization or the office, there's no way involved at all, Just shows up at everyone's office place and tells everybody all the shit that everyone else who works with them doesn't want to hear. You got bad breath. You got swamp ass. You're always fucking late.

[Big Ed]

Yeah. Kind of like the office, right?

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. You say, you know what I mean all the time whenever you talk. I'd like to live in that world. The first thing you do, I think, is you approach it. I Learned this from Dr. Drew. You approach it from a sort of medical concern. Yeah. Like, you go, I was watching this thing on whatever Discovery, and they talked about the way a breast smell is also. Could mean there was a cancer or a disease or something like that. You have. You should check into that. Or something like that. Now, is she brushing and flossing?

[Big Ed]

That's a backdoor approach. So here's what happened. She had a. She had a. She had a dental, like a implant that was removable, and she never knew to take it out and clean it.

[Adam Carolla]

Mm.

[Big Ed]

And the way I know that is about two weeks before I was gonna go down there, I'm FaceTime with her, and she has her hand over her mouth. I'm like, what's going on? Did you get hurt? You know? Right. And she said, I. She lost her implant. So I knew she had one. So the minute I smelled it, I knew exactly what that was. They don't. They don't know. They just don't know.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Big Ed]

You know, to take that thing out and.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, yeah.

[Big Ed]

Clean it. So.

[Adam Carolla]

All right. So that was. That was tough.

[Big Ed]

Yeah, that was tough. And then. And then, of course, you know, we go back to the hotel, and I ended up buying her some toothpaste and mouthwash. And the producer's like, well, you know, you're gonna give that to her? I'm like, is that a good idea? They're like, yeah, I think it'd be a nice thing to do. So I give her her teddy, and she's like, what's a teddy? She knows negligee and toothpaste. And I got killed. I got every feminist in the world coming after me like you. I don't. Rotten American. How could you embarrass her? I'm like, I'm not. I'm trying to save. Like you just said, you can actually get heart disease from a tooth infection.

[Adam Carolla]

Black. Listen. Okay. First things first. I don't know why women are Allowed to critique men. Like it is completely acceptable if they're going out for the banquet and the guy comes out and the woman goes, no, no, no, no, not that shirt. Go change your shirt. Go. Come on now. I laid a shirt out for you. Okay, fine. We're being critiqued aesthetically. I never got why that's not a two way street. You know what I mean?

[Big Ed]

Or do I look fat in these jeans? No, right? No way. No, you look amazing.

[Adam Carolla]

So you got destroyed online because you got her some cracks.

[Big Ed]

Well, that's just the beginning. That's destroyment number one.

[Adam Carolla]

Did you guys make love?

[Big Ed]

Yes, we did.

[Adam Carolla]

Okay, how was that.

[Big Ed]

Not what you expect?

[Dan or Pat Kinane]

Yeah.

[Big Ed]

You know, you see somebody and you.

[Adam Carolla]

You build up in your mind what she expected.

[Big Ed]

Oh God. She was. It was probably worse for her. I mean, I don't know.

[Adam Carolla]

That could have been.

[Big Ed]

I'm saying it probably was. I mean, I. I wouldn't sleep with me. I'm kidding. But. But yeah, so, yeah, so we. The next day, well, she had no clothes, right. She basically showed up in jeans and shorts. She had, she didn't have any pajamas. I'm like, well, let me buy some pajamas. So they, they go, okay, let's go shopping.

[Adam Carolla]

How was her English?

[Big Ed]

Really good.

[Adam Carolla]

Uh huh.

[Big Ed]

Believe it or not, really good. A lot more people know English in the Philippines than you think.

[Adam Carolla]

All right, so English was good, but she was so destitute that she didn't have pajamas.

[Big Ed]

She didn't have a job. She lived in a cement room in her sister's house with no indoor plumbing with no door. There's no doors? Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

No front door.

[Big Ed]

No front door. It was, it was a bunch of CD cases tied together.

[Adam Carolla]

It was like a. Oh, like a flap?

[Big Ed]

Yeah, like a flap.

[Adam Carolla]

Couldn't snakes and stuff get in there?

[Big Ed]

Oh, don't even. Probably rats.

[Adam Carolla]

Jesus Christ.

[Big Ed]

Probably slept with that, that rat I showed with. I. Probably.

[Adam Carolla]

What is going on over there?

[Big Ed]

It's crazy. So anyways, and I'm going to talk good about her in a minute. So that happened. And then the next day, let's go shopping. They take me to a sweat market. It's 120 degrees, okay? So I'm on camera, I get out of the cab and I'm like sweating and I go, you guys stop. I need to change my shirt. And they're like, no way, that's too good. We wanna. I got it, okay. They wanna see me suffer. And I did. And so we did that. And then from there we went to the nail salon and she had like 5,000 boyfriends on Facebook wouldn't tell me about her past. So Kara from my showroom's like. Cause she's from the Philippines. She's like, you need to make sure.

[Adam Carolla]

That here in San Diego.

[Big Ed]

Yeah. She goes, you need to make sure, number one ed that she takes an STD test. So what do I do? I ask her on camera, hey, you know, I want you to take an STD test. Here we go again. Every feminist in the world like you, you know, you disrespectful American, going to a third world country. I'm like, I don't want to die.

[Adam Carolla]

Right.

[Big Ed]

I don't want to get a disease. I don't want to. You know what I mean? So it just kept happening and happening. And then there was the shower scene with the rats and. And then there was the pig farm. I fell in the pig farm and. And then I got attacked by monkeys and whatever. So. And it was crazy. And then we. People don't know this about the show, but she was actually. They're like. They knew it wasn't working out, and I told them. I go, look, I don't. I don't think this is going to work out. So they.

[Adam Carolla]

What makes. Beside the breath?

[Big Ed]

Yeah. Well, she. So she's like, I want. I want more. I want more kids. I'm like, well, how many do you want? She's like, you know, I don't know. She never answered that question. And I said, well, maybe one. I said, maybe one. But I don't think people realize how expensive it is to raise a child in America. It's very expensive.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, my parents did it for free, but I know what you're talking about. I spent a lot on my kids.

[Big Ed]

Yeah. So I'm looking at Rose thinking she needs dental work. I'm looking at her son. Oh, my God. He needs at least 10 grand, you know, so I'm looking at dental work. Dental work. I'm like, oh, my God.

[Adam Carolla]

Everyone there needs dental work.

[Big Ed]

Exactly. So if I'm going to bring them to the US the last thing I want to do is start having more babies. Let's get settled and, you know, get a house and whatever.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. You're not a rich man.

[Big Ed]

No.

[Adam Carolla]

Has 90 day fiance. Are they paying okay?

[Big Ed]

They are. Most of my money I've made around the show. You heard a cameo, right?

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, sure.

[Big Ed]

Yeah. So I was number one in the world for a while.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, you were?

[Big Ed]

Yeah. Not the most expensive, but.

[Adam Carolla]

How much were you charging a cameo?

[Big Ed]

I started at 25. I topped that at 150.

[Adam Carolla]

150. But you're doing multiple ones a day.

[Big Ed]

I was doing 75 to 100 a day.

[Adam Carolla]

75 to 100 a day for four months straight. 75 to 100 a day. So at 100 bucks, that's 7,500 a day or more. Yeah, I mean, some were a little cheaper, but sometimes you did more. But I mean, you're making. You're making 50 grand a week in cameo. Possibly.

[Big Ed]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

Crazy, right?

[Big Ed]

Yeah. Nuts. And they told me when. When the producers first showed up in San Diego, by the way, you're gonna be known everywhere, and you think they're feeding you a line. And they weren't like. They weren't. They're like. I became. So short story long, the show comes out. It didn't work out, obviously, with Rose. And so I come back to the Philippines.

[Adam Carolla]

Was she heartbroken?

[Big Ed]

I think she was financially heartbroken. I think she wanted the golden ticket.

[Adam Carolla]

She wanted. Yeah. And by the way, San Diego's beautiful.

[Big Ed]

Oh, my God. Yeah. So I think she was more heartbroken about that. So I come back alone, and I'm like, that was the dumbest thing I've ever done. I said all the. I like the view. Like, I. You know, which, by the way, was the highest trending meme in the world for, like, through Covid. And the way I acted, I just wasn't happy. So I just dug myself into work and just forgot about the show. Well, then the. The.

[Adam Carolla]

You don't think you came across well on camera?

[Big Ed]

I didn't like the way I looked.

[Adam Carolla]

Did they. But did they cook it or did you just make up to say stupid shit?

[Big Ed]

Just. I mean, I didn't try to say. I. And I had a producer tell me this. I went on. I think I was on my second or third season after the. Before the 90 day. And he's like, look, what made you famous is that you didn't. You didn't know what you were doing. Like, you weren't. You're just being who you were.

[Adam Carolla]

Right.

[Big Ed]

And. And by the way, so was Rose. And that's why Rose became such a phenomenon, because in the Philippines, she's like, this is my house.

[Adam Carolla]

Right.

[Big Ed]

This is my pig farm. She wasn't ashamed of who she was. And that made her an instant.

[Adam Carolla]

Did she get snapped up by somebody else?

[Big Ed]

I don't. Maybe she was actually. She was bisexual, which I didn't know. So she actually had a. On my way back from the Philippines, she was posting pictures of her and her girlfriend, matching watches or whatever. So I never was quite sure. Like, you know, I know she wanted to come to the Philippines or Sorry. I know she wanted to come to America, you know, for a better life. And I didn't, I didn't tax her on that. I didn't hold that against her. Who wouldn't?

[Adam Carolla]

That's why she's there.

[Big Ed]

Yeah. And Ben and my. And for me, you know, it's, it's a financial responsibility that you take on, by the way, forever when you bring someone here.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah.

[Big Ed]

The government is not going to pay for nothing.

[Adam Carolla]

Right.

[Big Ed]

Okay. They pay for everybody else, by the way, but they're not going to pay for. You are financially responsible for that person. So that, that's a lot to take on. So that's the trade off.

[Adam Carolla]

Right.

[Big Ed]

But so anyways, I, I bury myself in the work. The show comes out six months later and the opening trailer went viral. I'm on my Vespa with my little dog Teddy, who I lost recently or like four years ago. And he was in my backpack because there was no parking in Little Italy. And so I'd ride my Vespa every day with my dog. So the show sees that. They just told my story. This, everything you saw was kind of who I was and what I did. And I also, you know, did, you know, I dabbled in a little bit of not boudoir photography, but it was very, you know, risque kind of sort of thing. But, but yeah, the show came out and then Covid hit and there was nothing on TV and the show went viral. I mean I was known in 166 countries. They, I was dubbed. Have you ever heard me talk in Portuguese like I sound like a Russian mafioso?

[Adam Carolla]

But did the American women start coming out of the woodwork after the fame hit all everyone?

[Big Ed]

Like I went from 350 followers to a quarter mil overnight. And then at my top I was, I think I was over 8, 800 on, on Instagram.

[Adam Carolla]

So what's your status now?

[Big Ed]

Now I'm still single and lonely. I'm kidding. I'm. I'm at about 6 on Instagram. I'm killing it on TikTok.

[Adam Carolla]

Are you, but are you single person now?

[Big Ed]

Yeah, I'm single.

[Adam Carolla]

But you don't want to be single.

[Big Ed]

I want the right single. I mean, I want the right person.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, so you want a certain aesthetic?

[Big Ed]

Yes.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, look, I'm with you. You know, when I was younger, I wanted to date a model, but I was driving a Isuzu Trooper and I had three roommates and I made 14 bucks an hour on a construction site. So I didn't get any. Well, no, here's for the answer. I did get models. I had to wait like two years in between model years, you know what I mean? So I just waited. I knew guys that just bring home somebody every night, but I wasn't interested. I wanted to wait it out. So you're picky, so now you gotta wait. But now the problem is you're not gonna leave the country anymore. So you gotta find a domestic model.

[Big Ed]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

For you. And that could be a waiting game.

[Big Ed]

Yeah. So somebody with poor vision and low standards. So here's the rub. If you're a single guy my age, I'm 60 and my mind is not 60. My body and the way I look is a 60 year old body, but my mind. Like I got married young, she was beautiful. It ended. I was single for so long because I was a single parent and I was 100% single parent. Like I was not going to introduce someone to my daughter and have her have to compete for my attention. So I remained single for a reason. But then at 17, she's like, Hey, I have a football game on Friday. I'm like, cool, I'm excited. I love football. No, dad, I have a football game. So she basically kind of broke up with me. So now I'm what, 38, 39. I'm single. I still want to go back to the person I fell in love. Like I want a young woman once it was too late. You know what I mean? But your mind, even today my mind is still like, I want to meet an attractive 35 to 38 year old. Ish.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. Well, listen, reality, on reality's terms, as Dr. Drew always says.

[Big Ed]

But hold on a second. Look at Billy Bob Thornton, who is my idol. How in the hell did he pull. And I mean when I saw.

[Adam Carolla]

Because he's Billy Bob Thornton.

[Big Ed]

Yeah. And so I want to be Billy Bob Thornton.

[Adam Carolla]

No, I know, but.

[Big Ed]

Or Danny DeVito.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, here's the. Yeah, all right. That's a little more realistic, I would say. Look, here's the thing. You will get what the market allows. Now you can. Everybody wants a hot 38 year old when they're 60. But that's rich 60 year old guys. Or George Clooney looking 60 year old guys. That's not you. No. So the problem is you got to adjust. Just like you got to adjust the car you drive. I mean, you go, I would like a Bentley. Okay, so would everybody. Now how much you make a year? $41,000. A year. Okay, no Bentley for you. But I want a Bentley. Well, we just did the math. So here's the deal. You can be carless for long periods of time or you can go. You know what, there's a Prius over there, formerly owned. It's only three years old. It's in decent enough shape and the guy took care of it. Non smoker. I need transportation. And you learn to love the Prius. That's what I'm saying. Or you just get in some sort of Bentley fantasy.

[Big Ed]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

And you end up taking the bus or your Vespa everywhere.

[Big Ed]

So I've actually, so I've actually kind of low. I'm looking for someone that at my age is going to be an asset because I'm the. I'm the type of guy that I'm going to find somebody and rescue them and fix them. My last relationship with Liz, I tried that. It backfired like. So I learned the hard way, you can't fix people, number one. Number two, you have to let them be who they are. And, and, but at the same time, they have to let me be who I am. And who I am is this, you know, 60 year old with a 13 year old. Like I spend more money on toys on TikTok every day. You know, that's. I spend my money on things that you like a normal adult wouldn't do. And, and, and it's almost like I'm refusing to want to grow up. Like I don't want to. I don't want to be 60. I don't want to. I don't want to drink chardonnay and read a book and fall asleep at 8 o' clock at night. That's not me.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, well, and I don't want to be. There's plenty of those guys.

[Big Ed]

Yeah. And nothing wrong with them at all. But I have nothing in common. I feel, Adam, with anybody my age. Like, I know that sounds, you know, weird.

[Adam Carolla]

No, I get it.

[Big Ed]

I mean, look at me like I, you know, I shower with rats, I'm on tv and you know, I'm a celebrity. I have to admit that. I have to finally admit I'm a celebrity. And people want to hang out with the person I created, the Big Ed. They want to hang out with me. Right.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, I want to give your wine a plug, by the way.

[Big Ed]

Oh, sweet.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. Because we got to roll in some news in a second here, but the Big Ed Malbec, it is available soon on Amazon, right?

[Big Ed]

Yep.

[Dan or Pat Kinane]

What do you think ever happened to the barefoot kicker?

[Adam Carolla]

Punter, place kicker, whatever.

[Dan or Pat Kinane]

I mean, seems like a bygone era.

[Adam Carolla]

But I miss those guys coming out.

[Dan or Pat Kinane]

There barefoot in the snow, kicking a.

[Adam Carolla]

Rock hard Football, different times.

[Big Ed]

Ace, man, get it on.

[Dawson]

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

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, we came a long way in kicking. We had a kicking shoe back in the day was just a blunt tipped kicking shoe they used to wear. And they'd do straight on kicking and then at some point they went barefoot, which is the opposite of one of those kicking shoes which was flat in the front, like weighted and everything. And now we're back to just shoes. I think shoe technology and the sort of sidewinder soccer stuff ended up. But we have brought back the coffin corner. I've been complaining. What happened to the coffin corner with the punters? We took two decades off of the coffin corner. Putting it out on the four yard line, out of bounds. We decided to try to float it to the three, but the ball would bounce and go into the end zone every time. I don't know how much is you heard Dawson, but every single goddamn football season I'd be yelling coffin corner. Put it in the corner, Put it in the corner. No return out of bounds on the four yard line. And now it's back.

[Dawson]

Now Alicia is totally clear on coffins corner. But for everyone else, what is that?

[Adam Carolla]

Hit it out of bounds in the corner.

[Alicia Krause]

Thanks for covering me there, Dawson.

[Adam Carolla]

Sorry. No, no, no, no. I said instead of float it and try to drop it inside the five, kick it out at the four. It's just a much easier way to do it.

[Alicia Krause]

You like? I enjoy watching sports, but I don't know anything about those types of things.

[Adam Carolla]

There was a trend like all of the coffin corner. Maybe Ray Guy came up with it, I don't know. But there was a coffin corner and then it went for like 15 years. And people thought instead of do that, I'll just kick it real high and it'll land on the three yard line and then it'll scamper into the end zone and then they'll get a touchback. But if you fucking kick it out of bounds, they'll get on the seven yard line and it will never go into the end zone, you fucking idiots. And now they do it anyway. Sorry.

[Alicia Krause]

Did the Patriots do that over the weekend?

[Adam Carolla]

They did a lot of punting, but they weren't. They never really crossed the 50 yard line so they couldn't go for the coffin corner.

[Alicia Krause]

Such a boring game.

[Adam Carolla]

You got to be on the happy side of the 50 yard line to go for the coffin corner. Because the ball, it only travels so far, so you can't kick it out of bounds on the 31.

[Alicia Krause]

So. So since we're going through all these sports ball things, is there when it comes to football, when you're like completely shaded and in a huge stadium like that, is there anything to. I get that there's something to being like, we want to go first, we want to go second, like if there's overtime, yada, yada. But is there anything to picking which side of the field matters? Like, does that really matter?

[Adam Carolla]

Well, if there's. You know what, when I was a captain and I played football and we're going out for the coin toss and you got to pick your side, which you only pick if you lose because we win, the other side goes. We'll take the ball.

[Alicia Krause]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

But then you pick your side, just reach down and you pull up a little grass and you just sort of toss it in the air and you see which way it goes. And there's any wind going. Yeah, you would go. If it went that way, you'd go, all right, we're going with the wind. So a little grass, a little sun, depending on some stadium.

[Alicia Krause]

What's the thing?

[Adam Carolla]

As well.

[Alicia Krause]

I could see the sun.

[Adam Carolla]

All right, what do you got? In the news department, we have some.

[Alicia Krause]

Really sad news, especially for my millennial generation. And his wife and six children. James van der Beek, only 48 years old after a multi year battle with cancer, has now died.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, he's a good dude. Yeah.

[Alicia Krause]

His wife Kimberly released a statement saying that they'll share more at a later date, but that he went peacefully and just talked about the sacredness of kind of like things. At the end. He had looked really ill. Most more recently on his social media. They moved from the LA area to, I think the Austin area during COVID and were like living on a farm. I don't know if they're homeschooling.

[Adam Carolla]

And this Dawson crate. Dawson Creek, his biggest thing.

[Alicia Krause]

Oh, 100%.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, but I'm big Varsity Blues guy.

[Alicia Krause]

He did do Varsity Blues, but I. I feel like Dawson's Creek, at least for millennial moms like myself, like, that was a thing.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, I star in episodes.

[Alicia Krause]

I heard that you and Dr. Drew starred as yourselves.

[Adam Carolla]

He was there sometimes, but I was really kind of the thing there.

[Dan or Pat Kinane]

Yeah. Just.

[Alicia Krause]

Wow, there you are.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, yeah. Me and Dr. Drew. Dawson's Creek. Yeah. James was a good dude. I didn't know him well. I remember playing a Dodger All Star celebrity game with him and he made a great catch in the outfield going, you know, home runs, stealing. Speaking of sports and all that was like an athletic guy. Seemed like a really good dude.

[Alicia Krause]

I mean I had some. I mean it's la, so it's small world. And I had some interactions with him and his wife and their kids. And it just seemed like he was such like a dedicated dad.

[Adam Carolla]

Yes.

[Alicia Krause]

And like I think that that's one of the most important jobs in the world. And it's just 48. Too young, too soon. Cancer sucks.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah.

[Alicia Krause]

All right, all right, now onto politics.

[Adam Carolla]

I wanted to play something actually. Oh, really, Andrew? I don't know if you have it, that Swalwell ICE tape thing. Eric Swalwell wants to be governor of California. And I don't, I mean I get why, but do we have to have just the worst of the worst with everything? I mean like, you know, they're guys you can go, well, Shapiro in Pennsylvania, that seems like a moderate Democrat or whatever, but we gotta get the Nancy Pelosi's and the Gavin Newsoms and the Maxine Waters and all the Swalwells and.

[Alicia Krause]

All the fucking Adam Schiffs.

[Adam Carolla]

All the nutty. Yes, the nuttiest and the worst and the most arrogant with the most attitude. Who do the least. This guy, he was. Swalwell wants to run for governor and he was trying to go at it with one of the lead guys from ice. His name escapes and we'll put it on the thing, but let's hear it. Sorry, it's great.

[News Reporter]

With a woman who works as a cashier at a grocery store. And I told her I was coming to see you.

[Adam Carolla]

All right, hold on a second, hold on.

[Alicia Krause]

Lies, lies.

[Adam Carolla]

First things first.

[Alicia Krause]

Lies.

[Adam Carolla]

I love the story. A nine year old came up to me with tears in his eyes and he said, where's Paul, Papa? And I said, he's in a cage in Honduras. Like I love the fake, I love the bullshit tear jerk stories. And by the way, I don't know when the left turned into a telenovela, but everything is just a sad story about a woman with honor living in dignity. It's like, listen, there's just fucking illegal people here. You want to get rid of them. And by the way, their whole thing was. All right, we have to defund ice, right? We gotta boycott ice. We gotta abolish ice.

[Alicia Krause]

We have to unmask camera, all the things with ice. Yes.

[Adam Carolla]

Here's a thought experiment. You wanna abolish ice. We just lived through four years of no ice. We abolished ICE for four years. The whole time Biden was president, we had no ice. Did you hear any ice stories for four fucking years. So we did an experiment. We abolished ice and we opened the border and then we got 14 million people here, and now we have to go sort them out and fix it. But we already abolished ice. It was called the Biden administration and there was no ICE presence and there was no border presence. So you got your wish and it didn't work. We tried defunding the police. Now we're going to defund ice. But we already tried it. It was four years of Biden and the place is fucking flooded with criminals now.

[Alicia Krause]

What's fascinating though, is even though all of that is true, it's yes, and Biden deported more illegal immigrants than Trump has done so far.

[Adam Carolla]

Yes.

[Alicia Krause]

And then it's like, heaven forbid. And there's no.

[Adam Carolla]

And there's.

[Alicia Krause]

But here's why I call BS on this, though.

[Adam Carolla]

Hold on, let's hear the story. Let him play. Yes, just go back 10 seconds and we'll play it. Sorry.

[News Reporter]

A couple nights ago, I met with a woman who works as a cashier at a grocery store. And I told her I was coming to see you, Mr. Lyons. And she said, will you ask him? And she didn't want to give her name. She was terrified to give her name. Yeah, but she said when I get off my shift around midnight and I walk through the parking lot to my car, she said, if somebody rolls up in an unidentified van and gets out wearing all black and their face is covered, they don't have it.

[Adam Carolla]

Alright, for a second. First off, I was thinking about it. The unmarked van. It's all unmarked van. It's like panel vans, primer, with no license plate. Aren't they renting SUVs? Aren't they fucking in Ford Explorers everywhere? Like, as I've seen tons and tons and tons of footage of assholes throwing bricks and frozen water bottles at cars and pulling off and kicking in the side. Are they unmarked vans? Because I'm seeing SUVs. I know you like the theme of the unmarked van, of the predatory behavior, Right? But think about all the footage you see out of Minneapolis when they're. The guy, Preddy. Preddy who, when he kicked the tail light, was that an unmarked van or was it a fucking suv like your. Your mama has. Fucking idiots. It's like, where are they? You show me the footage of the unmarked vans. Because every time somebody. Whether you take the two people who died, you take like Preddy and they take Goode. There's SUVs parked all around. There's not unmarked vans.

[Alicia Krause]

Way at the beginning, and this wasn't An ICE thing. I think it was a national security thing with Homeland Security Department, working with Secretary of State Rubio. When Rubio started to rescind the visas of, like, people that were pro terrorist organizations. Yes, there might have been a person that was put in an unmarked van.

[Adam Carolla]

By masked officers, but they're gone. So it's not unmarked vans, so fuck off. But anyway. And she doesn't want to give her name to Swalwell. She's scared of Swalwell. I don't even know.

[Alicia Krause]

He was.

[Adam Carolla]

My name is Dolores Montenegro, but don't say anything to Congress. Like, too scared. I love it when they're talking to the little people, too. I was at the bodega and I was helping her mop at the end of the night, and she told me, all right, so she's scared at night to go into the parking lot. I would be, too. If you was living in California. I was in San Francisco.

[Alicia Krause]

Or, like, as a woman.

[Adam Carolla]

As a woman, I would be scared living in California or anywhere in LA to walk at midnight out to the parking lot. But okay, she's scared because. We'll roll it back 10 seconds, guys dressed. I always like it, too. They're just dressed in all black. So did you guys know that the ICE officers dress like ninjas who just dropped out from the sky? All right, here we go.

[News Reporter]

Didn't want to give her name. She was terrified to give her name. But she said when I get off my shift around midnight and I walk through the parking lot to my car, she said, if somebody rolls up in an unidentified van and gets out wearing all black and their face is covered and they don't have any identification, and they ask me to get into the van. How do I know who they are? How does she know, Mr. Lyons? How does she know if they're an ICE agent or bad guys?

[Adam Carolla]

All right, pause it for a second. What's going on with the bizarre fantasy of the kicking in the doors and pointing at people look different than we? Like what? First off, sorry, Alicia. Cross chick. Think crazy chick. Think anyone's ever had a woman tell a story for a third time and just stick with it? And you have to go, that's not how it happened. That's not how it happened. That's not what's going on. It's like, nope, I got a theme. And I'm sticking with my theme. Yes, you're making up something that completely and utterly does not exist.

[Alicia Krause]

It's also funny. He's like, are they. How is she supposed to know if they're ICE or bad guys. But the left has been telling us for months on end now that ICE are bad guys.

[Adam Carolla]

Right? So there are bad guys. All right, so, okay, well, they. All right, he's going to explain. They have badges and patches.

[News Reporter]

How does she know? Mr. Lyons, how does she know if they're an ICE agent or bad guys?

[Adam Carolla]

Sir, ICE agents have identifiable placards on their uniforms as well as their badges. Representative. But you won't see ICE agents rolling through the parking lots and just snatching someone up. ICE does intelligence driven targeted enforcement operations.

[News Reporter]

Well, Mr.

[Adam Carolla]

Hold on. I wonder if Savannah Guthrie's mom thought that was ICE breaking into their house. I mean, just a guy wearing dark clothes. Could have been ice.

[Alicia Krause]

I mean, they are breaking down doors. We've heard.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, I mean, well, by the way, it'll be a bad guy if you get pistol whipped and he steals your purse. Yes, that's how you know. But yes, guys, far as I can tell, all the footage. Well, here's a.

[Alicia Krause]

It's also all happened during the day.

[Adam Carolla]

Here's a thought experiment. All the asshole Karens in Minneapolis and all the fucking boys with the buns who are attacking ice, how do they know they're ice? How do they know they're not antifa? Antifa dresses all in black and shows.

[Alicia Krause]

Up to these events and also covers their faces.

[Adam Carolla]

Right? So how do all the assholes in Minneapolis and LA who are attacking ICE know they're attacking the right group? Is it perhaps because they have big markings that say ICE on their uniform? Because if they weren't and we weren't able to distinguish between the two, then you wouldn't know if you're attacking antifa or ninjas. Is anyone. When the Preddy guy kicked the suv, how'd he know who was in the suv? Could have been an antifa mobile.

[Alicia Krause]

Also surveillance. So ICE is doing surveillance. The radical left is doing surveillance.

[Adam Carolla]

All right, Swalwell's such a fucking douche. And I don't know why, I don't even believe maybe, oh, I don't believe him at all. But that's the scarier part. But here's the problem. Maybe I'm an asshole. When women do this, I kind of go, all right, little theater. When guys do it, I go, what a pussy. What a pussy. And for me, I would rather deal with a violent alcoholic dude than a pussy. Pussies are the worst dudes. They're the fucking worst. And Swalwell's a pussy. And this is a puss move right here.

[Alicia Krause]

I just feel Like, I don't believe him, because even though he's a pretty decently known name within the state of California, or if you're a hardcore news nerd, right, you are out in public all the time. You get recognized. You don't get recognized. Every other person that you see or meet. No, this guy, nobody knows who the hell he is. If he's at a grocery store and he's meeting with a cat, he's meeting with a cashier. The lady at the cash register is not going to see him in plain clothes and be like, oh, my God, you're my representative. And I know you're interviewing Mr. Lyons, the head of ICE. Could you please tell him this for me? I call bullshit. That's all.

[Adam Carolla]

My name is Dolores and I work here from 4am to midnight, and I work at this bodega, and I bag mangoes. And I'm scared because I'm the provider for my family. I'm the bread winner. Well, we don't buy bread. We buy tortillas.

[Big Ed]

But.

[Adam Carolla]

Mrs. Swallow.

[Alicia Krause]

But you should make some, actually.

[Adam Carolla]

Please help. You're going to meet the. The deputy director, Vice. Rick Solomon. What's his name? Right? You know that guy? Yeah. Hear me how I. I watch C Span all the time. I recognize you. Please don't tell him my name. I'm here legally and I have all my paperwork in order, but I'm still scared to walk out to my Tercel every night. Not because of the crime that's rampant in the city. You're doing a fine job. But because the ICE people. Because I found out that a lot of them sit in the parking lot at midnight and just wait for people to leave.

[Dawson]

I would ask Swalwell what city that was in because he represents a small part of the East Bay area where I grew up.

[Alicia Krause]

Yeah? Yeah.

[Dawson]

I don't think he was at Safeway.

[Alicia Krause]

No, Just saying. More like an erewhon.

[Adam Carolla]

We have the video of him asking Lyons to resign, but again, more just retarded grandstanding.

[News Reporter]

Supposed to protect or will you side with the killers bringing terror to our streets? Mr. Lyons, will you resign from ICE?

[Adam Carolla]

No, sir, I won't. Yeah?

[News Reporter]

Why not?

[Adam Carolla]

Because, sir, that child that you're showing right there. The men and women of ICE took care of him when his father abandoned him in ransom.

[Big Ed]

Time has expired.

[News Reporter]

He never should have gone.

[Adam Carolla]

They're showing the picture of the kid that was being helped by ICE because his dad fled. I don't whether it's the good people on both sides or Jack Bleach or Something with Hunter binds. Laptop. Can you guys just let shit go once you've been proven wrong, or are we just going to keep going?

[Dawson]

The ICE has taken care of more children than Somali daycares.

[Adam Carolla]

That's a good point.

[Dawson]

The count is at one.

[Adam Carolla]

Yes, but it's still more.

[Dawson]

It's still more.

[Adam Carolla]

Still 100% more.

[Alicia Krause]

Oh, Lord.

[Adam Carolla]

All right, let's do one. Happy or one story. Another story.

[Alicia Krause]

One story. All right, let's talk about how Chris Cuomo is begging Democrats to not impeach Trump again. And I actually agree with that.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, I just talked to Chris Cuomo.

[Alicia Krause]

You did?

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah.

[Alicia Krause]

Did he bring this up with you?

[Adam Carolla]

No, he was talking about the Epstein files, which is like, I literally go, I have an opinion on everything.

[Alicia Krause]

Except that.

[Adam Carolla]

Except that. I have no idea what's going on with that, but I have an opinion on every. You name me 10 types of bagels, I will have 10 different opinions. But I don't have any schwal. I don't have any Epstein. Yeah. All right, go ahead.

[Alicia Krause]

All right, so News Nation anchor Chris Cuomo called on Democrats to resist the temptation to impeach President Donald Trump if they win control of either the House or the Senate in the fast approaching 2026 midterm elections. Obviously, Trump is almost lame duck. I think he's saying, like, this isn't gonna be good for you. But he also said it's not gonna be good for the country. I mean, last time they impeached Trump, his approval ratings went up. When Republicans impeached Clinton, his approval ratings went up. Like, it kind of no matter who's in power, they're able to somehow, like, come out in popularity when you impeach them. I don't think it's a smart political move.

[Adam Carolla]

Agreed. But also, we have a country that thinks the following. If you prosecute somebody and if you use the court to mete out justice to a person that is truly guilty, we like it. If you use it against someone we don't really think is guilty of doing anything. We hate it more than we like the happy side of it. So we have a reaction. Like, if a guy is accused of murder and he murdered someone and go, now he's got 100 years, I go, good. But if they try to pull somebody into court because they were 100ft away from abortion clinic and they were praying and she's 72 year old, asthmatic mom, and we try to fucking railroad her, we get pissed.

[Alicia Krause]

We're like, that's unjust.

[Adam Carolla]

And by the way, we feel the Same way with the 17 year old black kid who's accused of murder. Never did anything in Mississippi or something. We don't like that more than we like the justice part for the guilty person. So if you're gonna try to halt Trump into whatever. And the stuff is kind of light, like he lied on his real estate thing, that kind of stuff that pisses off most Americans, look as if you abusing your power and it will backfire. So my thing with, like, if you got something good on Trump, do it, but you never do, and that's why it backfires on you 100%.

[Alicia Krause]

And I think it's also like, it's too confusing.

[Adam Carolla]

Yes.

[Alicia Krause]

Like the murder case, the kidnapping case, the heaven forbid, like rape case. It's like cut and dry evidence jury, you know, tried by 12. When it's impeachment, Russiagate, you know, he was friends with Epstein. Like he lied on his tax returns, he took money from so and so. Did he or did he not pay off somebody? It's so confusing because there's so many details to it that the average person, I think, loses interest because they're confused by it.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, also, when you take Mar a Lago and you value it at $18 million and the place next to it is worth like 80 million and it's a vacant lot.

[Alicia Krause]

Yeah, exactly.

[Adam Carolla]

And it's one third the size and there's like medium sized places in Malibu for $18 million. That's insane. And now we're starting to think that this is sort of cooked and we really don't like it as Americans.

[Alicia Krause]

Yes.

[Adam Carolla]

And so my whole thing with any prosecution would be do it if you got something, but if you don't, be prepared because A, you're not gonna pull it off, and then B, it's going to backfire on you. All right, what else do we got?

[Alicia Krause]

So this is interesting. I have a personal question to ask you. You ever tried drugs?

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah.

[Alicia Krause]

Okay. I have not. The only thing I do is imbibe in alcohol and every once in a while, a cigarette in Spain. But apparently 20 million Americans.

[Adam Carolla]

You named your back patio Spain.

[Alicia Krause]

Yeah, exactly.

[Adam Carolla]

It turns into Spain.

[Alicia Krause]

Inside out is Madrid.

[Adam Carolla]

After the kids go to bed, the back patio gets dubbed Spain.

[Alicia Krause]

That's where mommy and daddy go to have a cigarette. All right? 20 million Americans say they're always high. And even liberals recognize that this craze has gone way too far.

[Adam Carolla]

Listen, everybody, it's not good for you.

[Alicia Krause]

No.

[Adam Carolla]

And what we did with pot is we gave it magical powers because we made it evil. And when you make something evil, then you kind of turn them into a folk hero. And that's the problem with making something evil. You turn it into something it isn't. Pot is a drug. It alters you. Look, here's the thing, everyone. You're either altered or you're not altered. I mean, you can call it cocaine alters you. Speed alters you. Pot alters you. Coffee alters you. Tis true, a lesser degree. A glass of red wine will alter you. A bottle of red wine alters you more. So it's all just a state of alteration. I had to do a bunch of shows in Florida the other week. We had a 6:30 flight out of Florida. Our hotel is a half hour from the airport. My last show finished at midnight at the club. There was a rental car to drop off and a merch bag to check. I went to bed about 1:30.

[Alicia Krause]

And you got a little power nap, that's what you're saying?

[Adam Carolla]

Yes. I went to bed at 1:30 and I got up around 4:15 and I met Rudy down the lobby at 4:50 and we went to the airport. I was altered. I was altered. I did not imbibe anything. I was altered. I was altered more than you are on one glass of wine. The more time you spend in an altered state as a human being, usually the worst sort of condition you're in and I get. Sleep deprivation is horrible for you.

[Alicia Krause]

They say it's almost as dangerous as drunk driving. Like driving tired, like on. Sleep deprivation is almost as dangerous as being a drunk driver.

[Adam Carolla]

Or as. I mean, obviously, depends how much you drank and how much you didn't sleep and who you are and what your constitution is. But the point is, is pot alters you. It is not good for you. We turned it into sort of a folk movement. It's not. It sort of reminds me of one of these, like civil rights leaders from the 60s where it's like she blew up a bank and then moved to Cuba. Let's put her on a postage stamp like, nope, she's a felon and she's a bad person. Yeah, let's not turn her into Billy fucking Jack. And that's what we did with pot. We turned it into Billy Jack. It's not good for kids. Especially not for kids. And it's much more potent than it ever was.

[Alicia Krause]

So that's a big thing. The New York Times a while ago, their, their podcast, the Daily over there. Sometimes they do decent, deep, deep dives. Despite being incredibly liberal. And they were talking to scientists, pot growers, companies Users just how different the strains are now compared to the past. In the past it used to be like, I don't know, my dad, it's public information. Used to, you know, guard the green tops in southeastern Oklahoma.

[Adam Carolla]

Really?

[Alicia Krause]

Uh huh. Get a little extra cash on the side in high school. It's so different from that. That's like dried and rolled and smoked with your buddies. Versus it's in gummies. It's in like they have all different kinds. Like there's pills, drinks, food.

[Adam Carolla]

Here's what, here's what a fantastic job they've done ruining the brains of dumb shits for sure in California, but mostly liberal dumb shits. Almost every mother. If you spoke to every single mother in Santa Monica and you said you get a choice for your son, cigarette smoker, pot smoker. They'd all take pot smoking.

[Big Ed]

Really?

[Adam Carolla]

Oh yes. Over cigarette smoking?

[Alicia Krause]

You think they would? I don't know. I think that, yeah, maybe the dumb liberal moms would.

[Adam Carolla]

All right, well I'll give you the groundling speech after the show. But yes, they hate, they all would prefer cigarette pot over cigarettes.

[Alicia Krause]

Lung cancer.

[Adam Carolla]

Cigarettes have been demonized. Pot has not been demonized. Pot has been praised and cigarettes have been demonized. Demonize. You can't smoke, by the way, you can smoke pot more places than you can smoke cigarettes.

[Alicia Krause]

Yes, tis true. 100%.

[Adam Carolla]

Right.

[Alicia Krause]

Okay, you can smoke pot in more places and you can bring a dog.

[Adam Carolla]

More people. More. Well, I don't know about dog. You can't smoke a cigarette anywhere. You can bring your dog everywhere and you can smoke pot everywhere, which is part of the demise of this country. But the point is, is pot is bad for you. It scrambles your kid's brain and everyone in California would rather their kids smoke pot than smoke cigarettes. And that means that pot has a publicist. Pot did a very good job of pushing itself and people don't even think it's bad. And by the way, I'll talk to people. I know people that eat gummies and eat edibles and smoke pot. And if I have a fucking glass of wine, they're like, hey bro, you better watch it. And it's like, you're fucking high right now. You're high right now. Why is it okay for you to be gobbling up your gummies but I can't have my highball? Like what? What's the fucking difference? We're both getting altered. That's, that's what I'm saying.

[Alicia Krause]

This is where I'm okay with the self driving cars and the way Most because I think that people in an altered state from pot, I know they've tried to make an argument that it's the same thing as alcohol. I don't agree. I especially long like the long term consequences of it. I do not agree.

[Adam Carolla]

You do not agree with which part.

[Alicia Krause]

That alcohol is just as bad as pot? I think specifically with young men whose prefrontal cortex have not formed the consistent ingestion of pot is so bad. And like you said, it's altering.

[Adam Carolla]

The people I know that are really into pot have difficulty, I'll put it to you that way. Even when they're not high. And also the other thing about pot is I don't know people who will drink and drive, but I do know people who eat pot and drive. For sure.

[Alicia Krause]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

They don't even think that's bad or wrong, by the way.

[Alicia Krause]

And then really bad things can come of it.

[Adam Carolla]

Yes.

[Alicia Krause]

So 20 million Americans say that they are always high.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, always high.

[Alicia Krause]

Always high.

[Adam Carolla]

That's other thing too is people do not wake and bake with booze. Oh, okay. All right, all right, all right. We should wrap this up because we got even more guests to get to.

[Alicia Krause]

Oh, fun.

[Adam Carolla]

Nice job. We'll be right back right after this. American Financing. Well, let's be honest. The math is not adding up. In this economy, even if you have a job, most families are being forced to rely on high interest credit cards to cover expenses. If you're a homeowner caught in that cycle, you deserve some relief. Right now, my friends at American Financing are helping homeowners pay off high interest debt at rates in the low fives. On average, they're saving their customers $800 a month. Start today. You might delay the next two mortgage payments. There are no upfront fees or obligations to find out how much you can save. America's home for Home Loans is American Financing. Am I right, Dawson?

[Dawson]

America's home for home loans is American Financing. 866-889-5154. That's 866-889-5154 or visit american financing.net Adam.

[Adam Carolla]

Homes.Com Some might say homes.com is the best home shopping site. I would say that it may be homes.com's super comprehensive and transparent agent directory. Or Maybe it's that homes.com is the only site that always directly connects you with the listing agent who knows the home the best. Perhaps it's because homes.com has the most in depth neighborhood content of any home shopping site. That's extensively researched to highlight the personality of each neighborhood, homes.com goes above and beyond to bring home shoppers the in depth info they need to find the right home. Homes.com. that's homes.com. we've done your homework. It's time.

[Dawson]

Time for Nicaraguan. Name that movie with Adam's buddy Oswaldo. See if you can guess which movie this famous line is from.

[Big Ed]

You're gonna eat laning. You're gonna crack thunder.

[Dawson]

If you said Rocky too.

[Adam Carolla]

You gotta eat lightning, you're gonna crack thunder. You're correct. Now back to the show. Dan and Pat Kinane are on their filmmakers. Solo Mio is the name of the movie out as we speak. Angel Studios, my good friends over there are the ones doing the distribution. Kevin James stars in this one as well as many others. Good to see you guys.

[Dan or Pat Kinane]

Thanks for having us. Yeah, thank you.

[Adam Carolla]

I watched some of your Kevin James sound guy shorts, which are super funny and get tons and tons of traction on the Internet. I was just watching the no country for Old Men one. I think it had like 12 million views or something. But how did. And I don't know. I feel like we should play one. But let's describe it. You take a scene from a movie and Kevin James is the sound guy with the boom mic, and you insert him into the movie as if they're just talking to the celeb in a sort of ingenious way. But how did that come about and how the Kevin James thing come about?

[Dan or Pat Kinane]

So we were. Kevin was shooting Netflix sitcom back in, right before COVID it was called the Crew. So we were down there just to do YouTube, social media, kind of, you know, try to, you know, pump up his social media presence. And so while he was doing table reads, writing and all this stuff, we were like off on our own in another office somewhere on. Was it Gold Coast? Gold Coast Studio. Studio, Long Island. Yeah. And we were just thinking of, like, like, you know, we need, like, some sort of long format that we can, like, always rely on. Like, what was. What's something we can, like, turn into a series. And we had a bunch of different ideas, but I came up with the idea of, like, oh, it'd be funny if, like, he was this. This sound operator on all these famous movie sets and we just plug them in.

[Big Ed]

My.

[Dan or Pat Kinane]

My brother's John and Pete. They're really good. They're really, you know, savvy when it comes to, like, you know, the superimposing.

[Big Ed]

And they.

[Dan or Pat Kinane]

I think they taught himself off of YouTube. Anyways, so we're like, oh, let's just like, Shoot this and. And show Kevin and see what he thinks. And we show Kevin.

[Adam Carolla]

I think we.

[Dan or Pat Kinane]

We. We call it, like, comping. We would comp stuff.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah.

[Dan or Pat Kinane]

We go out and test stuff to show them. Like, sometimes instead of pitching an idea, we would go and shoot. And so I think Rocky, the one where he's in the Rocky movie, was one of the first ones we did for him. And we showed it to him and he just was like, loved it. He's like, I could do a million of these. So that's how it came about.

[Adam Carolla]

Do you guys have a personal favorite from that series?

[Dan or Pat Kinane]

Yeah, I do. I love the Good Will Hunting.

[Adam Carolla]

Good Will Hunting?

[Dan or Pat Kinane]

Yeah. That's my personal favorite. Sneaky favorite.

[Adam Carolla]

We got Star Wars. We got Braveheart. No, it's great. What you want is a format and an idea that's got legs. And you're only limited by the 10,000 iconic movies that he could go into. You know, so that part's easy. And then the formats. The format's fun. And then there's another part which is. It has to be sort of satisfying to watch. And the satisfying part, that's just. We'll know when we see it, you know, all your good ideas. So many times you actually produce it and you just go, nah, not. Not how I thought it would be.

[Dan or Pat Kinane]

Oh, yeah, that's classic.

[Big Ed]

Oh, we had.

[Dan or Pat Kinane]

We had lots of those too. Even with Sound Guy, we shot a bunch of one. A bunch that no one's ever gonna see because, you know, you think it's a good idea, you go out, you do it, you shoot it, you edit it. And then. Actually, yeah, I gotta change my. My favorite. It was a. It was one that never got released. We actually never shot it. It was Titanic. The drawing scene where the boom dips down right in front of Kate Winslet. For obvious reasons.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. We couldn't post that. We have the Good Will Hunting one. They're about a minute long. I guess we'll put them on our YouTube page. You can watch that. How does it work in terms of YouTube and clearance and movies? Does it fall under some sort of fair use thing?

[Dan or Pat Kinane]

Yeah, fair use and parody.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah.

[Dan or Pat Kinane]

What we understood as. Yeah, because if you. If you cut it up enough and change it enough, you can get away with it, as far as I understand.

[Adam Carolla]

You know, it's always funny with the parody and the fair use stuff is whenever you say to someone, well, how long can you. No one knows. There is no answer. There is. It's. It's like the whatever commission in the 70s. Like, what is pornography. We'll know it when we see it. And then at some point, when you're talking to the fair use, your fair use guy, they always add the caveat, which is, well, they can sue you anyway. Like, it really doesn't matter who's right and who's wrong. It just matters of how litigious they are. All right, so this is the late, great Robin Williams. And the conceit is, like, the sound guy. They're on the set, but they're not filming. It's, like, in between takes. Right, right. All right, so here it is. When she was nervous, she had all sorts of wonderful. Oh, wait, sorry. They are. He is holding the boom up on this one. Sorry.

[Dan or Pat Kinane]

Yes. So they're all kind of different, right? Yeah, each one's different. The real thing was just how. What's the best way to implement him into the scene? So a lot of times it's happening as the scene is playing.

[Adam Carolla]

Sorry, here it is. My wife used to fart when she was nervous.

[Big Ed]

She had all sorts of wonderful things. You know, she used to fart in the sleep. I'm sorry I shared that with you.

[Adam Carolla]

One night, it was so loud, it.

[Big Ed]

Woke the dog up. She woke up and got like, oh.

[Adam Carolla]

Is that you See, I didn't have.

[Big Ed]

The heart to tell.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, God. She woke herself up. And cut. Oh. Oh, that was great stuff. Awesome. Mr. Williams.

[Big Ed]

Mr. Damon. That was fantastic. You guys are amazing. Dude, hold up, everybody. I.

[Adam Carolla]

Didn'T have it on. I wasn't recording on that.

[Big Ed]

I. I'm so. You're kidding.

[Adam Carolla]

I'm so sorry.

[Big Ed]

I. I thought I hit the button.

[Adam Carolla]

I didn't.

[Dan or Pat Kinane]

Is there any way we could.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, my God.

[Dan or Pat Kinane]

Could you do that again?

[Big Ed]

Can we get one more on that? I'm such an idiot. This is totally my fault. Everybody, can we get one? Is it one more possible?

[Adam Carolla]

I don't blame you. It's not about you. You. It's about the boy.

[Big Ed]

He's a good kid, and I won't.

[Adam Carolla]

See you him up like you're trying to up me right now. A lot of that stuff goes back a long way between me and him, you know? Not about you. This is not your fault. That's amazing. Visually my fault.

[Big Ed]

Look at me, son.

[Adam Carolla]

It's not your fault. It is.

[News Reporter]

Wells is gonna press record.

[Adam Carolla]

It's not your fault.

[Big Ed]

It is.

[Adam Carolla]

It's my fault. It's totally my fault. No, no, you don't. It's not your fault.

[Big Ed]

I'm telling you it is. I wish it wasn't.

[Adam Carolla]

We're here, aren't we? It's not your fault. It's not your fault. This technology's incredible, man. It's not your fault he's wearing MMA gloves. It's not your fault.

[Dan or Pat Kinane]

It's actually my head. That's my body.

[Adam Carolla]

I'm sure this one is a human being with the hug. Wow. How do you do the backgrounds?

[Dan or Pat Kinane]

Oh, that's all green screen. Green screen? Yeah. Wow.

[Adam Carolla]

Amazing. You know, it's kind of, as I think about it, it's kind of the inverse of an early version of this, which was. Well, you guys have done some work with Adam Sandler. It's the one where George C. Scott is watching the Adam Sandler movie. Have you ever seen that one?

[Dan or Pat Kinane]

No, I saw.

[Adam Carolla]

It is so you guys of all people will love this. So there was a movie called Hardcore, which was one of those real 70s gritty movies like we made. Really? You guys are too young. But like a lot of those dog day afternoons and just a lot of Those mid early 70s movies were really weird. They looked smoggy and gritty and dirty. And it was like New York and garbage everywhere and tenement slums, like abandoned buildings and stuff. And it was real Taxi Driver kind of stuff. Like, you want to take a shower after the movie. Hardcore was a George C. Scott movie where his daughter came out to LA and got recruited into pornography. And he didn't. He's trying to find her and he doesn't know if she's in this movie or not. And he has to go into like a porno theater in the 70s and sit alone and watch a porno film to see if his daughter pops up. And she did, and it destroyed him. But instead they were showing in the movie, in the bit they're doing, they cut in Adam Sandler's Jack and Jill and I'll show it to you just because it will make you guys laugh. And I'll bet Adam Sandler thought it was funny too. But it starts with George C. Scott sitting alone in a small movie theater.

[Dan or Pat Kinane]

I cannot let it do it.

[Adam Carolla]

Now the rejection starts. You already love it, right?

[Dan or Pat Kinane]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. In every family who drives you a little crazy. I gotta pick Jill up at 4 in the morning. She comes once a year and she's.

[Alicia Krause]

Leaving on Sunday, but during the holidays.

[Big Ed]

Jack, no fighting this year.

[Adam Carolla]

There's no escaping it when it's your sister.

[Pluto TV Announcer]

How we doing?

[Adam Carolla]

You're twin sister.

[Big Ed]

Are you going bob?

[Adam Carolla]

Huh?

[Big Ed]

And your hair doesn't realize it needs.

[Adam Carolla]

To cover more things.

[Big Ed]

Okay.

[Adam Carolla]

From the producers of Just Go With It. And grown ups and two are so alike. We are nothing alike, I promise you. This is Otto. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you. He's homeless, right? Are you whispering with a bullhorn or something? Everybody hears you. Seriously, honey, can't you try a little harder?

[Alicia Krause]

She's your sister.

[Adam Carolla]

Guess who is taking you to the Lakers game? Finally some twin time. Compliments of Mr. Pacino. What? This? This is insane, man. You gotta call him.

[Dan or Pat Kinane]

The context makes it so good.

[Adam Carolla]

Daddy, you know how to jump rope.

[News Reporter]

We want to die.

[Adam Carolla]

Apple Dutch King.

[Dan or Pat Kinane]

Oh my God.

[Adam Carolla]

Forever. I crave this family time. Please don't destroy my pool. Is your sister and I grew up on the same street. When I look at her, I see me. When I look at her, I see me. And J, He just weeps at the end. That's the greatest, right?

[Dan or Pat Kinane]

Yeah, like obviously, you know, we didn't come up with that like idea. Like we. We were inspired by those videos you see all the time where you see people are editing themselves into whatever, you know, different movies, different or like viral moments. And. And that was kind of the. You know, we want to do our own take on it. That's kind of how the sound guy came up. But that stuff cracks me up.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh yeah? Well, I mean, nothing.

[Dan or Pat Kinane]

Reactions, right? It's all about the reactions. The prerecorded reactions.

[Adam Carolla]

It's just. It's that, it's the idea. Well, do you love stories of myth and legend?

[Big Ed]

[Pluto TV Announcer]

At Pluto tv. We're celebrating Black History Month with our free curated collection of black entertainment. No ifs, ands or buts about catch award winning films like Dreamgirls, Monster's Ball and Selma.

[Big Ed]

We must make a massive demonstration.

[Pluto TV Announcer]

Iconic hits like School Days and Set it Off. Plus full seasons of shows like Tyler Perry's Sistas and Power.

[Adam Carolla]

I got you it.

[Pluto TV Announcer]

Star studded, brilliant black entertainment. And it's all free.

[Big Ed]

It's getting good this month.

[Pluto TV Announcer]

And always on Pluto tv streamed now. Hey. Never.

[Adam Carolla]

I mean, that's the great. The great part about a funny idea is when you kind of stumble onto it and you just kind of go, oh, yeah. Like, it's that way with a joke. You know, just a joke where you kind of. You know when Jerry Seinfeld is at the supermarket and he goes, you know, the hot dogs come in an eight pack and the buns come in a six pack. And then his brain goes, oh, a joke. You know what I mean? Like, he holds them both up, right? That little moment. But you're not really inventing anything or reinventing anything. You just figured it's almost like a math equation. Kevin, James strikes me as a really good dude. I've talked to him a little bit, but he would claim to be friends with him.

[Dan or Pat Kinane]

No, he's awesome. He's really. He's really, really funny. And, I mean, the movies he's done are great along with, like. I mean, this might be a hot take, but I actually think Jack and Jill is a great movie. I remember seeing it in theaters when I was little. I loved it.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, watch it again as an adult now. You're thinking about that dad in the theater.

[Dan or Pat Kinane]

I'll be thinking about the dad watching.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. By the way, that was Peter Boyle who ran the porno theater. That was Young Frankenstein. That was. Oh, yeah. Yeah. The dad from Everyone Loves Raym was the guy. The projectionist who came around the corner for a second was the late, great Peter Bole, who was in all those movies back then, too. But, yeah, James, sorry.

[Big Ed]

No, yeah.

[Dan or Pat Kinane]

So Kevin is. He's so funny when we're, like, in the room developing stuff and he knows his audience. He's like, yes, I can do this. No, I cannot do this. But some of the things that we come up with that come up with that we can never shoot because it's just. Maybe it's too ridiculous or just, you know, just too far out there. But, like, he's. He's so funny. And so it makes, like, the process, like, that much more fun. It's. You know what I mean? Like, it's definitely a stressful process, like writing, you know, developing even, you know, and then down the road, editing. But yeah, like, working alongside him, it's just. You're just shooting the shit with your buddy, you know.

[Adam Carolla]

You guys shot in Italy, I'm guessing, or it looked like.

[Dan or Pat Kinane]

Yeah, no, we were in Rome and Roman, Tuscany for. Well, we were living there for, like, four Months, I think. Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

How did, how are they over there? Are they hospitable that they give you tax breaks? Do they try to invite in production?

[Dan or Pat Kinane]

Yeah, I don't know what the tax rates are, but I mean, it's definitely like they've got great crews there. I mean, they shoot there all the time. It's pretty incredible. Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah.

[Dan or Pat Kinane]

I mean, the people living there was so cool. It was really, really cool to be able to like, kind of put yourself and live your. Live in that culture for. For a while, you know. I feel like life is so much slower over there than it is.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah.

[Dan or Pat Kinane]

Which is nice. I mean, you go out to dinner and it's like a four hour ordeal. Yeah. I mean, you also pick up on things too. Like, you get. You find a little inspiration. Like, I don't know if you remember in the cafe scene where Kim Coates and Allison Hannigan are ordering coffee and she gets handed a cup of ice and a glass of milk and she's like, what the hell is this? He's like, drink it. You ordered it. You know, and it's, you know, for anyone has experience ordering a iced latte in Rome, they just give you a cup of ice and a glass of milk.

[Adam Carolla]

Good.

[Dan or Pat Kinane]

It's not the same thing as it is in the States.

[Adam Carolla]

I like Kim Coates a lot. Kim Coates. Let's see. Maybe. I'm trying to think now. A deep Kim Coates cut, I think is Waterworld. Yeah. Because he was great in Waterworld. Waterworld.

[Dan or Pat Kinane]

That's a deep hole. That's why someone just said that today. They saw the movie Solo Miya and he's like. All I could think about was Kim Coates in Waterworld.

[Adam Carolla]

He was great in Waterworld. And Waterworld is a great movie. People talk a lot of shit. Black Hawk down, of course.

[Dan or Pat Kinane]

Love that movie.

[Adam Carolla]

Great movie. Super dusty. I have trouble with dusty movies. That's why I like. I like Waterworld because there's no Dust in it. Blackhawk Town is dusty. Like, I used to work construction, so I have these weird flashbacks to Dust.

[Dan or Pat Kinane]

You know, I mean, so do we. I think that was my. That was my comfort.

[Adam Carolla]

Comfort place Construction site.

[Dan or Pat Kinane]

Well, not full construction. Carpentry.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, carpentry. Yeah.

[News Reporter]

We grew up.

[Dan or Pat Kinane]

Our dad's a carpenter.

[Adam Carolla]

What?

[Dan or Pat Kinane]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

What kind of carpentry he's got?

[Dan or Pat Kinane]

He's like the old school. Like does everything. I mean, he builds houses. You know, he built our house growing up. The house we grew up in, he built that. Our brother Mike is also a carpenter. So they work here in town. We live in a small town.

[News Reporter]

Yeah, man.

[Adam Carolla]

We can talk.

[Dan or Pat Kinane]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

And you guys grew up, like, working summers, framing and that kind of stuff?

[Dan or Pat Kinane]

Oh, yeah. Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

Year round.

[Dan or Pat Kinane]

Yeah. That's all we did. Roofing in August?

[Adam Carolla]

In July. Brutal. Yeah, that's all I did, too.

[Dan or Pat Kinane]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

I think a dad that built the house you grew up in is a pretty good story. You know, like, that's.

[Dan or Pat Kinane]

It's definitely not haunted, which is nice.

[Adam Carolla]

It's a point of pride. I like that stuff. It's kind of moment. Cooking for Thanksgiving versus ordering a big food order at Sprouts or something. And dad. Dad building the house you're in is pretty good stuff.

[Dan or Pat Kinane]

He had a really, really great childhood. Super blessed.

[Adam Carolla]

That's good. And. Oh, I should ask. So I do a little survey about your mom. Well, one's mom. Not just your mom, but everyone's mom. And you can talk a lot about a mom, about what did she do? Or did she teach you piano? Did she hug you a lot? Or was she there for the Little League games? But it's too scattered. So I've narrowed it down to was she a good sandwich mom or bad sandwich mom? Because if she's a bad sandwich mom, she's universally bad. She's not a horrible sandwich mom and your biggest fan at every Little League game. She's horrible at sandwiches. And she never showed up to the Little league game. But if she's a great sandwich mom, she's also in the stands wearing your jersey number.

[Dan or Pat Kinane]

See, she's the best. Greatest sandwich. She was a great chicken pot pie mom, too. Yeah, she insane cook.

[Adam Carolla]

What was she do a chicken pot pie from scratch.

[Dan or Pat Kinane]

Oh, yeah. Make her own crust.

[Big Ed]

That was.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, she'd roll out her own crust and, like, crimp it on top. Yeah.

[Dan or Pat Kinane]

Oh, yeah. The best. No, she used to make. She used to make so much bread. Like, she would make, like, loaves and loaves of bread. So good. So I were all fat.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, you're not, by the way. People aren't watching this. But. But so did. So what was her sandwich? Now, again, I stumbled on this, and my mom was a no sandwich mom, so I got a zero. Dr. Drew's mom was a shit sandwich mom, which he got shitty sandwiches. But she was a shitty mom. It worked out. I had the zero sandwich mom, and she was consistent. Drew had a shit sandwich mom was shit. Andrew in the other room had one. When Drew found out that Andrew's mom toasted the bread for his sandwich, he went out of his mind. Drew didn't even know that was an option. Now what is that? All that is, is more effort toward you. The toasting of the bread, it's a little extra work, but guess who's worth it? You are.

[Dan or Pat Kinane]

Standards were like, you know what?

[Adam Carolla]

So your mom made the bread?

[Dan or Pat Kinane]

Oh, yeah, she made the bread. She made the sandwiches. Yeah. She, like I said, just the standards are so high. So spoiled. You know, she actually, at one point, she had a bakery for a little while.

[Adam Carolla]

Wow. Yeah.

[Dan or Pat Kinane]

She made pies, cakes, bread, sandwich pastries, all that. Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

And so what was her sandwich? What was her best sandwich?

[Dan or Pat Kinane]

She did it all. One that I really love, that I remember really well is just a classic turkey sandwich, you know, like, but loaded up with everything, you know, like she used to this thing where. Because there's 10 of us, right. So, you know, grew up in a family of 10. So anytime we go out and about, she would always go to the grocery store, she'd grab a bunch of rolls, a bunch of like, just cold cut turkeys, you know, mayo, lettuce, all this stuff. Chips, drinks. And she just like in the back of the van, just start making sandwiches in the back of the van, handing them out.

[Dawson]

Wherever.

[Dan or Pat Kinane]

Wherever we were. Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

Wow. And so you guys, you didn't grow up rich, but you had that base, that's solid base.

[Dan or Pat Kinane]

Rich in our environment, you know, strong, strong family. Everyone's. Everyone loves each other. Super close. And we grew up 100ft from my grandparents. Yeah. So they were always around.

[Adam Carolla]

How much of that is religion?

[Dan or Pat Kinane]

All of it.

[Adam Carolla]

All of it.

[Dan or Pat Kinane]

That's why there's 10 of us Irish Catholics.

[Adam Carolla]

How'd you hook up with the angel guys? And did you guys. Because I work with the angel guys and they're great. And they're in Provo and I've shot some dry bar stuff with them and so on and so forth. But the question is they acquire things that have already been made, which is a lot of what they do. And then there's. They produce other things, they fund and that kind of stuff. What was your relationship on Solo Mio?

[Dan or Pat Kinane]

That was. I mean, that was all through Kevin. You know, we had shot the movie independently with Kevin and the two producers, Jeffrey Greenstein and Mark Fasano. And then when we shot. Edited the movie, then Kevin brought it to Angel. That was kind of the connection. And Angel's like, we're gonna put this in theaters and we're like, hell, yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. You know, like 3,000. Yeah, yeah.

[Dan or Pat Kinane]

They're like, it's gonna be a nationwide release and we're like, did they. Anything we could have, you know, dreamed.

[Adam Carolla]

Of, did they have to put it through their board? Did they. Because.

[Dan or Pat Kinane]

Yeah, the guild.

[Adam Carolla]

Sorry, the Guild, it's kind of. It's a little nerve wracking. You know, they have a large group of subscribers and they have a guild and they give it a thumbs up or thumbs down, right?

[Dan or Pat Kinane]

Yeah, yeah. It was actually really. It was, it was. Yeah, it was our first collaboration with angel and it was really cool. We were down in Florida with Kevin this past March. Yeah, March of 2025. And he was, you know, wanted to show it to Jordan and Jeff Harmon and. And the. In your. Some of the guild members there. And it was a rough cut. It was like there was no sound, no color, no vfx. It was really rough. But the edit was almost locked in. So we showed it to, I don't know, maybe 100 people. And after. Immediately after the film ended, I think it was. Jordan turned to me and my brother Chuck and my brother John, who co wrote it with me and along with Kevin, and he goes, who the hell wrote this? And we're like, like, you're kind of like nervously like, we did, sir, and. And he's like, who directed it? And then I pointed to my right, my brother Chuck's there and he goes, we need this. He's like, we need this. I was like, wow, all right, cool. I was like, I guess it went over well. And then like 20 minutes later, after, you know, the. All the Angel Gill members took a survey and we got the test results in. It scored like a 94 or 5% amongst the. The audiences. And we're like, all right, like, I think we got something that people are gonna like, you know.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, I'm sorry. Happy that the angel guys are doing what they're doing and guys like you. And there are others now that have gotten sort of broken free of the shackles of Hollywood. But it's nice that there's an alternative format for movies and standup and drama and like, there's just a whole separate area now that you can go to and make a living.

[Dan or Pat Kinane]

I think one thing we've learned from, you know, one working. Working in this industry, not even just the industry, but like on a creative level. It's like you're never gonna please everyone. So why, you know, it's. It's kind of a. It's kind of a pointless thing to try to achieve. Like, you know what I mean? Like, you're just not. You're not gonna. You're not gonna Please, everyone. And I think we. We've kind of learned that we were like, you know, we're gonna do what we like, you know, and that's kind of gonna be the. You know, that's where we draw the line. We're like, all right, you know, this is what we like. Let's just commit to it.

[Adam Carolla]

I mean, I wonder if there's gonna start being like alternative Academy Awards and Emmys and stuff like that. Because the old. The position that's still in place is there will be no Academy Awards or Emmys or Grammys or Sundance for anything that they don't approve of, but they're sort of sinking their own ship. And now there's all these alternative studios. But I wonder if there's gonna be alternative award shows coming up.

[Dan or Pat Kinane]

Angel Guild Award.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. I mean, yeah. Another halftime show with a 95. Yeah. Kid Rock presents.

[Dan or Pat Kinane]

No, that's why. That's why we're so grateful for Angel Studios. Because, you know, a movie like this, like Solmu, like anyone else, probably would have put it straight to streaming. You know, the fact that they took a rom com and put it to theaters. When was the last time there's a rom com in theaters like this? You know, a rom com of this sty. So, yeah, I mean, it's incredible what they're doing.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, it's in theaters and at 3,000. That is a large release. So it's probably in a city, in a town and a theater near you. Pat and Dan, come back whenever you got a new project. Fun talking.

[Dan or Pat Kinane]

Thank you, guys. Yeah, it's great.

[Adam Carolla]

Thanks for having us. Bring your dad on next time. I want to talk about framing. Yeah.

[Dan or Pat Kinane]

He probably wouldn't say much, but he nodded. Smile.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, I know. He's a quiet man, like John Wayne. Thanks, guys. All right, I want to thank Alicia Krause for coming in here and taking care of business and Big Ed as well. I'm going to be in Texas February 27th, 28th. Two shows each night at Hyenas Comedy Club. You go to AdamKroll.com for all live shows. And until next time, it's Adam Carolla for Pat, Dan and Big Ed and Alicia saying mahalo.

[Dawson]
