Main Discussion Themes

1. Bruce Bruce’s Early Life and Comedy Beginnings

• Growing Up in Atlanta:
  • Rough Neighborhood Survival: Bruce credits surviving a tough Atlanta neighborhood by sharpening his wit and “joaning” (roasting) skills, since he couldn’t fight physically.
    • “You gotta know how to fight or you gotta know how to just talk about people. I couldn't fight, so I know how to talk and talk about people real bad. That's what saved me.” – Bruce Bruce (02:22)
• Mother’s Influence:
  • Strict household, mother kept him away from drugs (“If you touch it, I will kill you.”)
• From Frito-Lay to Stand-Up:
  • Bruce spent his early adulthood delivering chips as a Frito-Lay truck driver while performing open mics and eventually rising through Atlanta’s comedy scene.
    • “I was selling chips. You know, driving a truck, going from store to store delivering chips and doing comedy at the same time and imitating all the bosses at Frito Lay.” (17:40)
    • Bruce would sometimes drive the Frito-Lay truck to gigs when his car broke down (18:14).

2. Comedy Philosophy and Legendary Hustle

• Why He Does It:
  • Bruce’s drive is “for the love, not the money,” finding deep joy in entertaining, much like fellow artists B.B. King and Willie Nelson.
    • “I did it for the love. I didn't think about the money. I just thought about. I enjoy doing this.” (20:06)
• Turning Professional:
  • The financial breakthrough came when 30 minutes of comedy began to earn more than 60 hours of truck driving.
    • “I can do this. I'm working Frito Lay 55, 60 hours a week, and I go on stage and work 30 minutes and make just as much as I did ... That didn't balance out to me.” (19:31)

3. The Netflix Special & Touring

• New Special: I Ain’t Playing
  • Shot in Chicago, releasing March 3, 2026. Highlighted as a major moment in Bruce’s career—a result of his agency’s efforts and Netflix’s interest (15:05, 20:26).

4. Comedians, Legends, and Cultural Commentary

• Celebrity/Living Legend Stories:
  • Opened for B.B. King, Bobby Blue Bland, Morris Day & The Time, toured with Earth, Wind & Fire and Isley Brothers.
  • Observations on how Black music groups continue to perform under legacy names, swapping members over generations.
    • “The Coasters formed in, like, 1954, and there’s still five guys in the Coasters, and they’re 28 years old.” – Adam (22:02)
• Reflections on Bill Cosby, O.J.:
  • Noting how public perception drastically shifts after celebrity falls from grace, forgetting former pinnacles of popularity (11:40).

5. Pop Culture, Film, and Tarantino Geek-Out

• Tarantino Movies & Django
  • In-depth discussion about the genius of Tarantino, favorite films, and exceptional performances like Jamie Foxx in “Ray” and “Django.”
    • “He turned into Ray Charles when he did the movie Ray. He did a great job. And then he was really good in Django.” – Bruce (39:45)
• Leonardo DiCaprio and Christoph Waltz Praise:
  • Highlighted for their depth and intensity in “Django” and “Inglourious Basterds” (40:04–41:14).
• Pulp Fiction Trivia:
  • The animated “square” from Uma Thurman’s scene is traced back to the Flintstones—demonstrating Tarantino’s layered references (42:43–44:36).

6. Cars and Car Culture: Bruce Bruce’s True Hobby

• A Serious Buick Collector:
  • Bruce owns multiple classic Buicks: Riviera, Skylark, Wildcat, Electra 225, and more. Keeps them restored (“They showroom.”).
    • (Detailed rundown at 28:41–29:10)

• Ford Truck Enthusiasm:
  • Owns new and vintage Ford trucks, including rare editions like the Lightning, Shelby, Saleen truck, also a former owner of a Ford GT (32:01–33:37).
• Car Show Stories:

• Comparison Between “Car Guys”:
  • Adam teases superficial “car guys” vs. real gearheads, giving Bruce rare praise for his depth of knowledge (27:02–28:01).

7. Life Lessons and the Changing Comedy Scene

• Working with Major Comics:
  • Shared stage with Bert Kreischer, Martin Lawrence, Jamie Foxx, Steve Harvey—citing Jamie as uniquely talented (38:10–39:45).

[Bruce Bruce]

Foreign.

[Mike Dawson]

Studios in Glendale, California. This is the Adam Corolla Show. Adam's guest today, comedian Bruce Bruce plus the news with me, Mike Dawson. And now Adam Carolla.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, get it on, Got to get it on. Doctor, Dr. Bruce, I said, because I know a guy named Dr. Bruce. Bruce. Bruce is here. Very funny. Stand up comedian. I ain't playing. It's the name of his stand up special on Netflix. It'll be March 3rd is when it comes out. It was right at the top when I turned it on last night. I tried to watch it and then I realized it's not out yet, but I saw the trailer and the trailer's funny. So welcome.

[Bruce Bruce]

Thank you.

[Adam Carolla]

So you start off in Atlanta in a rough neighborhood.

[Bruce Bruce]

Very rough.

[Adam Carolla]

And how does that work for you? Like being in a rough neighborhood in Atlanta? What's the home situation like?

[Bruce Bruce]

Well, you know, when you live in a rough neighborhood, man, you gotta know how to fight or you gotta know how to just talk about people. I couldn't fight, so I know how to talk and talk about people real bad. So that's what saved me in a lot of things. Just talking about em joaning them out, making fun of them. That's what I did.

[Adam Carolla]

A lot of comedians say, you know, I had to talk, I had to get my. I could save myself from being beaten up if I could make this guy laugh.

[Bruce Bruce]

Absolutely, absolutely.

[Adam Carolla]

And then you get the reputation for that and then you become a little bit of a protected species or something.

[Bruce Bruce]

Right. And I realized I was really good at it.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, it's kind of Interesting. I was interviewing Pac Man Jones not too long ago, and he was talking about the same kind of thing, but for him, he was a phenom athlete.

[Bruce Bruce]

Absolutely.

[Adam Carolla]

And so their thing was, don't fuck with this guy. He's a phenom athlete. You know, even he's in the seventh grade. Leave him alone. So you get a little protected status. Almost like being in prison and being protected versus being a pedophile, right?

[Bruce Bruce]

Absolutely, man. That's the way Holyfield was. Holyfield was just a fighter, you know, in school he just had to fight, and so he figured, hey, let me box a little bit and knock him out.

[Adam Carolla]

That's an Atlanta guy, right?

[Bruce Bruce]

Atlanta guy, yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

You know what? When they said, people thought I was kidding, but I really wasn't. And you're old enough to remember when they said there was a controversy about the Algerian female fighter who won the gold, but now everyone thought was a male, and now kind of turns out maybe she was a male. And somebody wrote, we should take away her gold medal. And I wrote back and give it to Evander Holyfield.

[Bruce Bruce]

Okay?

[Adam Carolla]

Because Evander Holyfield got gypped out of a gold medal. Yes, they did, because he knocked down some, like, skinny Hungarian fight or something. He hit him a tenth of a second after the bell rang and knocked the guy out. And they literally gave the guy the win. And Evander got, I think, the bronze. And Evander would have cruised to a gold medal.

[Bruce Bruce]

But did they ever find out if that was a male or female?

[Adam Carolla]

That he knocked down? The Hungarian guy?

[Bruce Bruce]

No, no. The Nigerian. Did they ever find out? Was that a male or female?

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, it wasn't Nigerian. He was whatever I said he was. Okay. What they found out is that he had, like, an XY chromosome and that maybe he lied or something. And who. I don't know. I'm so confused about who's a man and who's a woman now. And their mission is accomplished because I'm just walking, trying to figure out people's pronouns. Like, you know, it's one person, but their pronouns are they.

[Bruce Bruce]

Oh, yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

And I don't know what to do anymore. But Algerian, I think Algeria, Algerian. And I don't know where that is either, but I know it's not in Nigeria. But if you're gonna take the gold away, you give it to Evander, because Evander should have won the gold. He got cheated out of a gold.

[Bruce Bruce]

I agree. I agree.

[Adam Carolla]

And also, Evander is the only guy that wasn't scared of Mike Tyson. The only guy Buster Douglas A little. But the only guy who basically said, I mean, let's give Buster his due too. But Holyfield, everyone thought you got to stay away from Mike Tyson. Trying to keep away from Mike Tyson, you know, maybe in a large metropolitan city is possible, but not an 18 foot ring. He eventually catches up and you're backing up and now you're going to bed.

[Bruce Bruce]

Oh, you going.

[Adam Carolla]

Evander's the only guy who was like, fuck this guy. He better be scared of me. I'll see him in the middle of the ring and I'm going to trade toe to toe and I'll knock him out. He should worry about me knocking him out. And everyone else is like, are you sure, Evander? But Evander had the Lord on his side.

[Bruce Bruce]

Yeah, he did. But let me ask you this. Do you think Evander could have beat Mike Tyson at his prime? 18, 19, 20 years old?

[Adam Carolla]

I'm trying to think. I mean, you know, that is a thing with everybody, every prize fighter. Oh, but Muhammad Ali in his prime, you know, and there's a lot of that.

[Bruce Bruce]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

But it's not like Tyson was old when he, when he fought Evander.

[Bruce Bruce]

Okay, okay.

[Adam Carolla]

He was not in his 30s, I don't think. How old was their first fight? Tyson Holyfield won. Now he'd been in prison. Yeah, I think. And that'll slow you down a little bit.

[Bruce Bruce]

No, I think he was in better shape when he came out.

[Adam Carolla]

You may be right.

[Bruce Bruce]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

I think it's unfair to Georgia's own Evander Holyfield to say he didn't fight Tyson in his prime. Even though Tyson was a very scary 21 year old dude. Yes, he was and may have been 27 when he fought. But I'm sorry, Mike Tyson in his 20s is scary enough.

[Bruce Bruce]

Yes, it is.

[Adam Carolla]

For anybody.

[Bruce Bruce]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

Let's see. First fight, Tyson Holyfield. Tyson was how old was 30? Exactly 30. All right, so not in his 20s, but. Jesus. Holyfield was 34.

[Bruce Bruce]

Yes, he was.

[Adam Carolla]

But Holyfield wasn't in his prime when he was 21.

[Bruce Bruce]

No, he wasn't.

[Adam Carolla]

No. He was a cruiserweight. All right. But the point is, is that was still a fit game. 30 year old Mike Tyson he beat. So let's give Evander some.

[Bruce Bruce]

Yeah, I'm Evander fan.

[Adam Carolla]

We have to be from Atlanta, right?

[Bruce Bruce]

Absolutely.

[Adam Carolla]

He should be the pride of Atlanta.

[Bruce Bruce]

Oh, yeah, he.

[Adam Carolla]

What do we got now? Tyler Perry.

[Bruce Bruce]

Tyler Perry. He's not Atlanta though. He's from Louisiana.

[Adam Carolla]

But he's got 2 million cubic feet of studio space over there. Right.

[Bruce Bruce]

He bought a military Base.

[Adam Carolla]

He bought a military base in Atlanta

[Bruce Bruce]

and built his studio there.

[Adam Carolla]

Have you been there?

[Bruce Bruce]

Yes, I've been there. It's huge. It's nice. Very nice.

[Adam Carolla]

Have you shot stuff there?

[Bruce Bruce]

No, hadn't shot anything there.

[Adam Carolla]

Just touring the base.

[Bruce Bruce]

Visit it and make sure, you know, it's good. Have you seen his house?

[Adam Carolla]

No.

[Bruce Bruce]

Oh, my goodness. Oh, my God, it is amazing.

[Adam Carolla]

What's this house like?

[Bruce Bruce]

Like a hotel. It's huge. The house is probably half a mile from the street. And it's huge. Helicopter pad, landing strip pad, everything.

[Adam Carolla]

Really?

[Bruce Bruce]

Oh, yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

Evander Holyfield had a pretty big house.

[Bruce Bruce]

Rick Ross bought it.

[Adam Carolla]

Rick Ross, right. So, you know, maybe this is just me talking, but at a certain point you're throwing bad after good when you get a house. Like a house I've lived. Here's the thing about a house. I've lived in a big house. And I bought. I didn't grow up in it, but I grew up in small houses. But I was able to buy a big house. And you don't think you need a big house, but what happens is, is you go, you don't, you don't. I mean, who needs more than 3,500 square feet? That's enough space. And then you go, well, you want a gym, don't you? And you go, yeah, we're nice to have a gym room. Okay. And you want a theater room, right? Yeah, I like to have a theater room. And you want your own office, right? You don't want to share an office with your wife. Yeah, she should have her own office. Before you know it, you're at 7,000 square feet.

[Ad Read Announcer]

Absolutely.

[Adam Carolla]

It's easy to get there, but once you get past 10,000, I feel like you're getting lost. There's rooms you've never been in before.

[Bruce Bruce]

A big house is just the upkeep is too much, you know, to keep it, you know, even taking care of the yard, the maintenance on the house is just too much. My house I live in now in Atlanta. It's me and my wife. That's it. And it's too big. I mean, some rooms I don't even go in.

[Adam Carolla]

How many square feet you got?

[Bruce Bruce]

5,500 square feet.

[Adam Carolla]

That's it. That's a good size house.

[Bruce Bruce]

Good size house. But I don't need all that.

[Adam Carolla]

What would that house cost here?

[Bruce Bruce]

About 2 million? Yeah, yeah, at least about 2 million. And you know, Rick Ross house, Holyfield, old house. He has 109 rooms in the house.

[Adam Carolla]

That's my point. Holyfield's got too many rooms.

[Bruce Bruce]

109 rooms.

[Adam Carolla]

I don't know what you do in those rooms. No, that's too much.

[Bruce Bruce]

There it is, right there.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, that's it.

[Bruce Bruce]

That's the back of it right there.

[Adam Carolla]

It's crazy.

[Bruce Bruce]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

We have Holyfield. Is this the 84 Olympics? I do believe, yes. Out here. 84 Olympics. I know where I was. I was building a house in Silver Lake, and guess who I saw carrying the torch? O.J.

[Bruce Bruce]

o.J. Simpson.

[Adam Carolla]

O.J. carried the Olympic torch, like a piperian, like, through Silver Lake or whatever. He was one of the guys. Makes sense. Los Angeles. Yeah. 1984. I mean, that guy's Heisman Trophy winner. USC is just up the street. He's California boy. He's carrying that torch.

[Mike Dawson]

O.J.

[Secret Service Agent]

simpson.

[Bruce Bruce]

O.J. was the man.

[Adam Carolla]

He was.

[Bruce Bruce]

He was.

[Adam Carolla]

People forget, like, they catch these people and they're sort of fall from grace, you know, Bill Cosby, O.J. weinstein. You guys forget at the height of their powers, how popular and powerful, super popular these people were.

[Bruce Bruce]

Yes, they were.

[Adam Carolla]

I mean, you forget how popular Bill Cosby was.

[Bruce Bruce]

He was.

[Adam Carolla]

Man, he was the most popular. He wasn't the most popular black person. He was just the most popular person for a long time.

[Bruce Bruce]

Yes, he was.

[Adam Carolla]

All right, let's see if we got the end. So this is. I believe he gets disqualified. The guy he knocks out goes to the gold medal round. And Evander gets the bronze in the bronze fight, the second fight. But this is to see who goes to the gold medal round. Let's see. Without throwing him away. And he has got another public warning. He's warning the other dude. He's got to be very careful now, because. What? One more warning and he's out. He's. He's hanging on.

[Mike Dawson]

Oh, he's got him.

[Adam Carolla]

He just knocked the guy down. So this man threw another punch, just as he did before. And Barry is hurt, so the ref was pushing him off when he threw a left hook. It's finished with five seconds remaining in the second round, and Barry is beaten. But I can tell you that that was done with a punch after the referee had said stop. Oh, so the ref. It wasn't after the bell. It was the ref separating them, saying, stop. And Evander threw a left hook, and the guy couldn't continue. Except for the guy who can't continue is the guy who went on to the gold medal round. And also they do say, protect yourself at all times.

[Bruce Bruce]

Absolutely. That's like a clean hit. To me.

[Adam Carolla]

It is a clean hit. Except for we can't tell if the ref said stop.

[Bruce Bruce]

Right.

[Adam Carolla]

That's the thing. Now the question is that this guy must have gone on and lost. I'll tell you the happiest guy in the world. The guy who was waiting to see who won this fight to go to the gold, to get the gold. Because you got the skinny white guy with the glass jaw, not the guy who went on to knock out Tyson.

[Bruce Bruce]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

Who won that gold? That's the question. So Vander got chipped and we should get the Algerian chick and give a Vander.

[Bruce Bruce]

You know what? I agree with you.

[Adam Carolla]

Would you agree?

[Bruce Bruce]

Yeah, I agree with you.

[Adam Carolla]

That seems sensible, right?

[Bruce Bruce]

Yeah, yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

Or they could fight it out.

[Bruce Bruce]

Never know. We don't know if he's a man or a woman.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, we know Evander's a man.

[Bruce Bruce]

Yes, we do.

[Adam Carolla]

And Evander's like 60, right?

[Bruce Bruce]

No, Evander's 63.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, 63, you know.

[Bruce Bruce]

Oh, yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

But the question is, could the 63 year old Evander Holyfield handle the 27 year old flyweight? Who won the gold?

[Bruce Bruce]

That's a deep question. I don't know about that one. He's still in good shape though.

[Adam Carolla]

I feel like he could.

[Bruce Bruce]

You think of him? He's a good guy.

[Adam Carolla]

He's got. Well, I don't know what he's walking around at now. Evander, you mean for his weight? Yeah.

[Bruce Bruce]

No, he's not big at all. He hadn't got big at all. He's still the same weight.

[Adam Carolla]

Okay.

[Bruce Bruce]

Oh, yeah, that's good.

[Adam Carolla]

So you, where'd you shoot the special?

[Bruce Bruce]

I did in Chicago. May 3, 2025 in Chicago was great. It's airing this year, 2026, March 3, and it's called I Ain't Playing. And it's really good.

[Adam Carolla]

It is. I mean, at least from what I saw. I tried to watch it. Like I said, it's not coming out yet. Who won the gold in 84? And was it not the guy who Evander knocked out? But either way, also Evander had like a hole in his heart or something. But God healed it.

[Bruce Bruce]

Yeah, yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

Which Good. Are you religious?

[Bruce Bruce]

Yeah, of course.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, you don't have to be.

[Bruce Bruce]

Well, you don't. But I believe in God.

[Adam Carolla]

Good. So you grow up in a rough neighborhood.

[Bruce Bruce]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

And how do you grow up? What's the family like?

[Bruce Bruce]

My mother didn't play any games. You know, I grew up around all type of drugs. Any drug that you want to name, I grew up around it. But my mother said, if you touch it, I will kill you. So I was More scared of my mother than the guys in the street. So I wasn't gonna touch it. And I didn't touch it. And I'd never been on drugs. Never, ever.

[Adam Carolla]

And then you went on. Right. Hold on. Anton Yaspovic of Yugoslavia won. But he won the gold. But was that the guy? We don't know if that was the guy. He knocked. I'm trying to find out who won. Who knocked? Is it the guy Evander knocked out? Which has got to be a weird way to win a gold medal. Yeah, he beat Kevin Berry. Kevin Berry's the guy got knocked out. Right. He was like Australian guy or something. Something like that. Oh. I mean, just imagine that you're sitting around going, am I going to fight Kevin Berry, unknown guy from Australia, or Evander Holyfield for the gold medal? And Evander Holyfield gets disqualified and you get the spindly guy from Australia.

[Bruce Bruce]

Yeah. That's not cool.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, it's good for you if you want. Oh, New Zealand.

[Bruce Bruce]

Sorry, New Zealand.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. Same place to me.

[Ad Read Announcer]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

So when you get out of the neighborhood, how do you get out of the neighborhood?

[Bruce Bruce]

Well, I just moved out when I got 18. I graduated high school and I moved out, got a job and started still helping my mother and just started doing comedy. And I knew that's where I should have been my whole entire life when I went on stage for the first time.

[Adam Carolla]

Really?

[Bruce Bruce]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

When did you go on stage for the first time?

[Bruce Bruce]

36 years ago.

[Adam Carolla]

You know the times and the dates.

[Bruce Bruce]

Absolutely.

[Adam Carolla]

36 years ago.

[Bruce Bruce]

36 years ago, man.

[Adam Carolla]

And were you working for Frito Lay at the time?

[Bruce Bruce]

Yes, I was. I was working for him. How do you.

[Adam Carolla]

What'd you do over there?

[Bruce Bruce]

I was selling chips. You know, driving a truck, going from store to store delivering chips and doing comedy at the same time and imitating all the bosses at Frito Lay. You know, we had fun on a doc imitating all the big bosses. Thought they was the joint. You know what I mean?

[Adam Carolla]

So you had a. Like a morning day job and you could go out and do comedy at night?

[Bruce Bruce]

Absolutely. We had to be at the warehouse at five in the morning. Yeah. And then, you know, we go deliver. And I come home and go deliver. I go down there and tell jokes at the comedy club sometime. My car was broke. I drove the truck to the comedy club.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, really?

[Bruce Bruce]

Yes, I did the Frito Lace. I'm talking about. I told you that. But I drove the truck there.

[Adam Carolla]

So you're going out doing comedy at night, working. But it's tough. Cause you gotta get up at 4 in the morning.

[Bruce Bruce]

Absolutely, man. Absolutely. But I did it and I enjoyed it. And I still enjoy comedy today. I travel every week right now, and I still enjoy it. Like, if I started yesterday, that's important. Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

I feel the same way. You're getting paid to stand and tell jokes.

[Bruce Bruce]

Absolutely.

[Adam Carolla]

How bad could that be?

[Bruce Bruce]

You know, years ago, I asked B.B. king before he passed. I said, you ever think you stopped playing? He said, no. He said, when God called me home, I stopped. I'm gonna play till the day I die.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah.

[Bruce Bruce]

And he did.

[Adam Carolla]

Well. Cause I think there's a lot of comedians or some comedians, there's some country singers, there's some everything who like the idea, but they don't really want to do it because it's not really in them. They just. They look for reasons not to do it. And I don't. I don't get that.

[Bruce Bruce]

Me neither. I think Willie Nelson's still singing. 94 years old.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. And people go, like, when are you going to retire? Why should you stop doing something you love doing?

[Bruce Bruce]

For what?

[Adam Carolla]

Just because you're getting paid?

[Bruce Bruce]

Absolutely.

[Adam Carolla]

So you. But when do you start getting paid to do comedy?

[Bruce Bruce]

Well, I was getting paid, but not getting paid. I go down and do the amateur night. I get $25 and sometimes $50. And I think I started getting paid probably about five years later, start making a little money, and I'm like, I can do this. I'm working Frito Lay 55, 60 hours a week, and I go on stage and work 30 minutes and make just as much as I did and free to lay for 55 to 60 hours a week. So that didn't balance out to me.

[Adam Carolla]

Right.

[Bruce Bruce]

I'm gonna do comedy.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah.

[Bruce Bruce]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

How much of it was a financial decision?

[Bruce Bruce]

None of it. I did it for the love. I did it for the love. I didn't think about the money. I just thought about. I enjoy doing this.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, you thought we were just. You just said you thought about it.

[Bruce Bruce]

Yeah, I thought about it, but I didn't think about the money. I didn't think I'd make the money that I'm making today.

[Adam Carolla]

Right.

[Bruce Bruce]

You know, but now I know how the game is played. I'm gonna make the money.

[Adam Carolla]

How's the Netflix special come about? Cause that's a dream for most comedians.

[Bruce Bruce]

Well, my agency, my management, you know, they say it was time to do it. Netflix was interested, and they didn't regret it. Cause it's doing, and it's gonna do very well.

[Adam Carolla]

Did Netflix approach you guys? Did you guys approach Netflix. How did you get on the radar?

[Bruce Bruce]

Came together. You know, the agency had people that they represented, and they say, hey, how about Bruce? Bruce and Netflix? Like, yeah, we love to have him. And that's how it went.

[Adam Carolla]

So did you, over the years, open for folk bands, other comedians, people we know about?

[Bruce Bruce]

Yeah, I opened up for B.B. king, opened up for Bobby Blue Bland and opened up for Morris Day and the Time. And I enjoyed that, man. Just to meet those guys. I did a tour with Earth, Wind and Fire and the Isley Brothers. And it was just to realize that it was fun. But then they knew me, so that was the fun part about it.

[Adam Carolla]

Trying to remember the Isley Brothers hit. And they had a bunch of hits.

[Bruce Bruce]

Oh, yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

Not as big as Earth, Wind and Fire.

[Bruce Bruce]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

But Earth, Wind and Fire. So you got to watch an Earth, Wind and Fire concert every night.

[Bruce Bruce]

Every. Every night.

[Adam Carolla]

And an Eyes of the Brothers.

[Bruce Bruce]

And the eyes of the Brothers. Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

I was talking to. Oh, I was talking to JJ Walker. Jimmy JJ Walker.

[Bruce Bruce]

Talking about Jimmy Walker from guitar.

[Adam Carolla]

Jimmy JJ Walker. Yeah.

[Bruce Bruce]

He's a nice guy.

[Adam Carolla]

Totally nice guy.

[Bruce Bruce]

Super nice guy.

[Adam Carolla]

And he was telling me about these cruises he'd do where he'd emcee, and it was like, sound of soul, 60s soul and whatever, and. And he'd start talking about these bands. Like, I would always laugh. Like, the Coasters formed in, like, 1954, and there's still five guys in the coasters, and they're 28 years old. He'd say, oh, yeah. They would just cycle right out and the guy's nephew would be the lead singer, but they would present themselves as the Coasters, or even, maybe, I don't know, maybe the Temptations, maybe the Isley Brothers. I don't know. Like I said. And I was basically saying. I said, I don't. White bands can't really do that. They can't. They can replace a guy or two, but you can't just cycle it through and keep the name and have it go all the way through. I mean, the Coasters formed in the early 50s, and they're booked somewhere this weekend that's cool. And that's 75 years later. There can be no original Coasters anywhere near that band.

[Bruce Bruce]

None of them are living. No. Right. Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

But it's kind of interesting because it'd be fun. It doesn't work in other things. Like, Dave Chappelle can't just give his act to his nephew. And his nephew got there, advertises Dave Chappelle can't do that you can't do it. And you can't really do it if you're the Eagles. I mean you kind of can, but you have to have some of the main guys in there. But the black bands from the 50s and the 60s, they just keep going with the name. It's like the name's like Internet intellectual property.

[Bruce Bruce]

But Isaac Brothers are still together.

[Adam Carolla]

They're still together.

[Bruce Bruce]

Yes they are. And Earth, Wind and Fire. Few of them have passed away, but they're still together. The same group. They got new members like maybe the drummer or maybe the guitar player or maybe a horn player. But for the most part, Earth, Wind and Fire and Icebrothers are still together.

[Adam Carolla]

[Ad Read Announcer]

Pluto TV has thousands of free movies and TV shows.

[Bruce Bruce]

I swear, if I'm lying, I'm dying.

[Ad Read Announcer]

This is the mindset. Free. This is the mantra.

[Adam Carolla]

Free.

[Ad Read Announcer]

This is the mindset. Mindset. With movies like Interstellar, Dreamgirls and Gladiator,

[Adam Carolla]

Are you not entertained?

[Ad Read Announcer]

And TV shows like Survivor, SpongeBob SquarePants, the Fairly Odd Parents and Ghosts. Pluto TV is always free.

[Adam Carolla]

Huzzah.

[Ad Read Announcer]

Pluto TV stream now pay. Never.

[Adam Carolla]

I'm reading the screen here. It says the Doors continue to the Doors. But they don't. I've never. No one would buy a ticket to the Doors thinking they're seeing the Doors, do they? I mean they had. I mean they kind of did it. Ah, God. With Leonard Skynyrd, but that became Rosindon Collins or something. But anyway, let's not go that deep. So opening for band now is open for bands. Good or bad.

[Bruce Bruce]

It's good and it's easier.

[Adam Carolla]

It's easier.

[Bruce Bruce]

It's easier. You know people, when they come to see Earth, Winterfire or a band in general, they just come to have fun. And so you can just basically do anything on stage. They're going to laugh like church People are very easy to make laughter.

[Adam Carolla]

Uh huh.

[Bruce Bruce]

They're very Easy.

[Adam Carolla]

Church people.

[Bruce Bruce]

Oh, yeah. People that go to church all the time. Because now comedy is in the churches.

[Adam Carolla]

Now it is.

[Bruce Bruce]

Yeah. A lot of people doing comedy in churches. And it's really good.

[Adam Carolla]

They are clean comedy.

[Bruce Bruce]

Clean comedy. You got to be clean now. You can't go in there using profanity, you know, with the preacher and everything. It'd be a problem.

[Adam Carolla]

Do you do clean versus other comedy?

[Bruce Bruce]

I can do anything. I can do clean. It's easy.

[Adam Carolla]

But when you go into the. I mean, when you go into the church, it's gotta be clean.

[Bruce Bruce]

Oh, super clean. Squeaky clean. But it's easy. It's easy to do.

[Adam Carolla]

I know. You're a car guy.

[Bruce Bruce]

I am.

[Adam Carolla]

And most of the time with car guys, I'm prepared to be disappointed. Cause they end up just going. They end up being. There's two kind of car guys I don't like. Okay, there's the. I bought a brand new Lamborghini, just got it wrapped and put rims on it. And I'm like, you don't even know. And then you say to that guy, has that got the V10 or the V12? And they go, I don't know. It's like, all right, well, then you're not a car guy. You're a rich guy who bought an expensive car and had it wrapped. And then there's the. That's kind of the black version. And then the white version's the mopar guy. He just wants a Hemi. Everything is Hemi, hemi, Hemi. But I thought car guys a little more interesting. And you are into Buicks. I like Buicks, which is interesting. Cause I've never really met car guys. There's the Japanese guys, there's the Porsche guys. There's the American muscle guys, there's the mopar guys. And then there's sort of the brand new Lamborghini with the exhaust system and the wrap on it guys. I hate those guys. I've not really come across the Buick guys.

[Bruce Bruce]

Don't sleep on Buicks. Buicks.

[Adam Carolla]

Buicks are cool.

[Bruce Bruce]

Oh, they was fast, too. They was really fast. 1970 Buick Skylark GS. Stage one was one of the fastest production cars General Motors produced.

[Adam Carolla]

So how'd you get into Buick?

[Bruce Bruce]

My granddaddy, he always said, get your Buick, you know? Yeah, get your Buick. And he had a 56 Buick Roadmaster back in the day.

[Adam Carolla]

That's a big car.

[Bruce Bruce]

Big car, three speed on the tree. You know what I'm talking about?

[Adam Carolla]

I do. That is one of the biggest cars made.

[Bruce Bruce]

It was Smooth, man. And I just always. I started watching Buicks and I started watching the horsepower that they made. And I own a few Buicks, man.

[Adam Carolla]

Old ones. You have Rivieras?

[Bruce Bruce]

I have a 63 Riviera. I have a 69 Riviera. I have a 70 Riviera. I have a 70 Wildcat convertible. I have a 68 Deuce and a quarter. I have a 68. 5 Skylark convertible. I have a 68 Skylark convertible. GS. I have a 68 SkylARK hardtop. GS. Wow. I got 10 Buicks.

[Adam Carolla]

You keep them at the house?

[Bruce Bruce]

Yeah, I got a big shop. I keep them in it. They showroom.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, really?

[Bruce Bruce]

Yes, sir.

[Adam Carolla]

Have you restored any of them?

[Bruce Bruce]

All of them. I restored all of them.

[Adam Carolla]

I restored all of them except for one.

[Bruce Bruce]

The 68 Buick Electra 225. I bought it, had 55,000 miles on it. Original. And how I bought it. The guy was driving and I said, hey, if you're not a Buick man, you need to sell that car. And he looked and he said, you want to buy it? I said, yeah, I buy it. And I bought it from him.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, really?

[Bruce Bruce]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

Just saw him out in the street.

[Bruce Bruce]

Saw him in the street. Was clean.

[Adam Carolla]

Really?

[Bruce Bruce]

Yeah, he got it from somebody, but it was. It's clean. You sit on the front seat like you're on the living room sofa.

[Adam Carolla]

Buicks. I don't know a ton about the market for Buicks, but it strikes me you could probably still find them, find some deals. Oh, yeah, they're not as expensive.

[Bruce Bruce]

Oh, yeah, they're very expensive.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, no. What? Cadillac is getting expensive. The vintage stuff. Real expensive now. And Chrysler's getting real expensive, like the 3000s in that sort of department. Buick's probably still reasonable, even though it's getting expensive.

[Bruce Bruce]

No, it's very high.

[Adam Carolla]

How much is a. Like a nice 70 Skylar?

[Bruce Bruce]

A 70 Skylark convertible. GS stage one car. It'll run you 100 grand.

[Adam Carolla]

Really?

[Bruce Bruce]

Oh, yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

Wow.

[Bruce Bruce]

Oh, yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

I didn't know they'd gone up that fast.

[Bruce Bruce]

And they're extremely fast. People don't know, but they're extremely fast.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, I mean, I guess everything's getting expensive.

[Bruce Bruce]

Everything. Everything. But I like Ford trucks.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, yeah?

[Bruce Bruce]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

Like vintage.

[Bruce Bruce]

I like. No, I like newer Ford trucks. I like the new Ford trucks. The diesels, the powerstrokes they pull.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, guess who has a 350 diesel dually. Not you, this podcaster, right?

[Bruce Bruce]

You have one? Oh, yeah, I have one, too.

[Adam Carolla]

You gotta have one to tow.

[Bruce Bruce]

Oh, yeah. If you want a pool, you Better get a forward.

[Mike Dawson]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, so you towing these cars around?

[Bruce Bruce]

Oh, yeah, I got a trailer and everything.

[Adam Carolla]

Where are you taking them?

[Bruce Bruce]

I take them to car shows. Then I take them off the trail and crank them up. Boop, boop, boop, boop. And I go around. I don't do car shows with young guys. I do them with older guys.

[Adam Carolla]

Are there some pictures on the Internet of this?

[Bruce Bruce]

No, none.

[Adam Carolla]

None?

[Bruce Bruce]

None.

[Adam Carolla]

Nobody takes pictures.

[Bruce Bruce]

And I got a ton of pictures. People don't even know I have those cars, but they're just for my personal use.

[Adam Carolla]

I like it because it's off the beaten path. It's not what I'd expect. That's good.

[Bruce Bruce]

I like Ford trucks. I got a Ford. I got a bunch of Ford trucks. I got a Dually. I got two Lightnings. I have two Shelby trucks. I have an Excursion. I have a.

[Adam Carolla]

You got the Shelby truck?

[Bruce Bruce]

I have two.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, you have two.

[Bruce Bruce]

Yeah, I have two of those. And I have a saline truck.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, Steve Saleen.

[Bruce Bruce]

Yes, sir.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. Yeah, I've been to his shop.

[Bruce Bruce]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

It's funny because he's known for Mustangs, but he did a truck.

[Bruce Bruce]

Did a truck.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. That's kind of interesting.

[Bruce Bruce]

That's cool.

[Adam Carolla]

You know the one you're missing?

[Bruce Bruce]

What's that?

[Adam Carolla]

The Evel Knievel truck.

[Bruce Bruce]

Was it a Ford?

[Mike Dawson]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

Now you gotta look, Dawson. Ford. And it may have just been with Galpa and Ford, I don't know. But I. You know, they did a Harley Davidson truck.

[Bruce Bruce]

I had one of those.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, you do? Oh, okay.

[Bruce Bruce]

I used to have a Ford gt. You know what it is? Not a Mustang.

[Adam Carolla]

No, no, I know what a Ford gt. I know what. Well, I know what all cars are, but I gotta tell you. Buick, I'm not an expert at, but you had a. What year was your Ford GT06. Oh, so you had the original.

[Bruce Bruce]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, not the original.

[Bruce Bruce]

They made it in the 60s. The GT40.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, yeah.

[Bruce Bruce]

And I had a 06. I had Canary L. I sold it, though. I had it for, like, seven years, and it had, like 800 miles on it.

[Adam Carolla]

That was a good car.

[Bruce Bruce]

Very good car.

[Adam Carolla]

You made some money off that car.

[Bruce Bruce]

I did.

[Adam Carolla]

Because they were 150, 160 when they were new.

[Bruce Bruce]

No, there was more than that.

[Adam Carolla]

The original MSRP was more than 150. 100,000.

[Bruce Bruce]

I paid 200,000 for mine.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, you may have paid a little premium.

[Bruce Bruce]

Yeah. But they was priced at 300,000.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, I'm sorry. So there's the. There's the sticker price. But if the dealer, if it's a hot item, they will tack 50 grand on to the price of the sticker. So I'm saying the sticker was probably buck 50, buck 60. But if you wanted to get a car like that and you didn't want to wait in line, they'd sell for like 225 or something.

[Bruce Bruce]

Yeah, I had like that when I ordered mine. I had it built. I actually watched them bill it online.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, really?

[Bruce Bruce]

Yes.

[Adam Carolla]

It's a bitching car.

[Bruce Bruce]

Yes. Extremely fast.

[Adam Carolla]

I agree. Supercharged V8, mid engine.

[Bruce Bruce]

Oh, man, it was something serious.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. And the new one, the newer ones, turbocharged, twin turbos. Twin turbos, 800 horsepower. Yeah, it's a really cool piece.

[Bruce Bruce]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

So how many evel knievel ford f150s did they make? Evel Knievel is the question. Because like I said, they had the Harley Davidson. You had that Steve Saleen. The Saleen one.

[Bruce Bruce]

You got Lightning.

[Adam Carolla]

Then there's the Lightning.

[Bruce Bruce]

Raptor.

[Adam Carolla]

Raptor, right. The V8 or the V6.

[Bruce Bruce]

I got a V6.

[Adam Carolla]

That's the newer one.

[Bruce Bruce]

Yeah. Twin turbos.

[Adam Carolla]

Right. Then there was the, let's see, Harley Davidson Shelby. And then the only one you may be missing, unless there's some sort of Eddie Bauer edition, I don't know, you don't need that.

[Bruce Bruce]

That wasn't a fast truck. No, it's luxury.

[Adam Carolla]

No, the only one you may be missing is the Evel Knievel truck.

[Bruce Bruce]

Evel Knievel.

[Adam Carolla]

Is there an evel knievel ford f150 for sale anywhere? And like, what are they trading for? Because this could be your next purchase. This would add very nicely to your collection of Ford F150 trucks. All right, where is it? How many who did it? It's gotta be there. It's gotta be right there. Let's see. Only 10 units from 2002, the F150 Evel Knievel Gladiator edition were produced created by Galpin Ford. All right, so that was a one off Galpin Ford thing. Customized supercrew trucks featured red, white and Blue theme. Supercharged 5.4 liter V8 engines, custom interior touches pay tribute to the motorcycle daredevil. Wow. They made only 10. So these things are going to be hard to find. I guess you will, what I'm saying, because in a world of cars, 500 is a small number. Yeah, right.

[Bruce Bruce]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

Is your wife pissed that you got all these cars? No, she doesn't care.

[Bruce Bruce]

She does say why you have so many cars? Yes, I said, well, you have so many shoes. So I shut that down.

[Adam Carolla]

Smart. Well, you're paying for the cars, right?

[Bruce Bruce]

And the shoes.

[Adam Carolla]

That's a good point. Yeah. I've dealt that with women before. They want to know why you into cars. I'm like, I don't know. I'm into it like Bill Shatner's into horses. So what? That's what he wants.

[Bruce Bruce]

I like cars.

[Adam Carolla]

That's right.

[Bruce Bruce]

I'm not doing anything else, so leave me alone.

[Adam Carolla]

You ever go out and do one of those high speed driving courses?

[Bruce Bruce]

No.

[Adam Carolla]

Or any of that stuff?

[Bruce Bruce]

No. And I love drag racing and.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, then you need a gnx. A Buick?

[Bruce Bruce]

Yeah, I had one.

[Adam Carolla]

You have one?

[Bruce Bruce]

I had a G. I didn't have a gnx. I had a Grand National.

[Adam Carolla]

You had a Grand National?

[Bruce Bruce]

Yeah. I sold it, though.

[Adam Carolla]

All right. You want a couple water?

[Bruce Bruce]

No, I'm good right now.

[Adam Carolla]

Okay.

[Bruce Bruce]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

You sold your Grand National?

[Bruce Bruce]

I did. You know, you can't let them turbos sit up too much.

[Adam Carolla]

That's an expensive Buick now.

[Bruce Bruce]

Oh, yes, it is. Yes, yes. And a very fast car.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. Well, you said fly, he said quarter mile. So then I pictured that car.

[Bruce Bruce]

There was a guy in Valdosta, Georgia, he was a Buick man. His name was Richard Lassenter. And he built Buicks. And back in the 70s, he raced it, you know, Hemi Motors. And he beat a lot of them and he got into grand nationals. I don't even know if he's still around, but he was a Buick man. He built all Buicks. Everybody had a Buick. They sent them over to him.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, he did it. He became that guy.

[Bruce Bruce]

He was a schoolteacher.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. There becomes guys who become experts at certain things and then they end up being that guy.

[Bruce Bruce]

Oh, yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

So you travel, you open for earth, Wind, fire, Isley Brothers, other comedians.

[Bruce Bruce]

Oh, all the time. I've been on tour with all comedians. Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

Impress us with some of these names.

[Bruce Bruce]

Bert Kersher was one.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, really?

[Bruce Bruce]

Yeah, he's very funny, very nice.

[Adam Carolla]

He's super nice.

[Bruce Bruce]

Oh, man. Super nice. And sell some tickets.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, yeah. When were you out with him?

[Bruce Bruce]

I was out with him. I was out with him like a couple years ago. We did Gorge Washington. Never heard of it in my life.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, yeah.

[Bruce Bruce]

And he did 20,000 people.

[Adam Carolla]

Incredible.

[Bruce Bruce]

I mean, he did Salt Lake City, Utah. 20,000 people. Wow. You know, it was just like simple for him. And he's such a great guy. And when I went to Gorge Washington, I was the only black guy there.

[Adam Carolla]

Only? Oh, yeah.

[Bruce Bruce]

It wasn't even a black Guy cleaning up.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah.

[Bruce Bruce]

You know what I mean? And I walked on stage and I said, hey, got a question? He said, yeah. I said, am I the only black guy here? He said, yep. I said, okay, I'm gonna do my thing. And they showed me love.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah.

[Bruce Bruce]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, you know, he's such a nice guy. Bert is. And his audience is. Probably reflects that.

[Bruce Bruce]

Yeah, it does. And we went to gorge. The only thing I saw was cherry trees and apple trees.

[Adam Carolla]

I love cherries.

[Bruce Bruce]

The guy picked me some. The guy said, you want some cherries? He went and got some. He went and got some cherries. Yeah, Apples. They was fresh.

[Adam Carolla]

Who else you open for?

[Bruce Bruce]

Well, I've been with Martin Lawrence. You know what I'm saying? I've been with Jamie Foxx. I've been with. Never did anything with Dave Chappelle. I've been with Steve Harvey. I've been with.

[Adam Carolla]

I think of Jamie Foxx as a genius. He is.

[Bruce Bruce]

And very talented.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, that's what I'm talking about. I think he's like the most talented guy.

[Bruce Bruce]

Turned into Ray Charles when he did the movie. Ray. He turned into Ray Charles. He did a great job. And then he was really good in Django.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, yeah.

[Bruce Bruce]

Django was a great movie.

[Adam Carolla]

You know, it's funny. I was sort of. I totally agree. And I love Quentin Tarantino.

[Bruce Bruce]

I do, too.

[Adam Carolla]

And I'm watching Inglourious Basterds. I've watched half of it last night. I watched the other half tonight. I love that movie. Christoph Waltz is acting in three languages in that movie. Django's amazing. You know what I was thinking to myself? I always thought of Leonardo DiCaprio as a little bit of a pretty boy or young guy or lightweight or something. But you start to watch him and you go, oh, man, this guy is so good.

[Bruce Bruce]

He is excellent.

[Adam Carolla]

He was so good in Django.

[Bruce Bruce]

Yes, he was.

[Adam Carolla]

And I mean, Christoph Waltz was great. Jamie Fox, I mean, everybody.

[Bruce Bruce]

And that part in Django, you know when. When he pulled that skeleton skull head out and you know, when he hit the table, he actually cut his hand.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, yeah, yeah, that's right.

[Bruce Bruce]

And he kept acting. Yeah, yeah, he kept acting.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah.

[Bruce Bruce]

And that's the pro in him. He's good, though.

[Adam Carolla]

God, now I want to watch Django, but I'm writing.

[Bruce Bruce]

You got to go do it again.

[Adam Carolla]

I'm writing. Oh, I've watched it three times.

[Bruce Bruce]

I don't watch it 10 times.

[Adam Carolla]

No, sorry. I said three. I meant seven. But I mean that. But Inglourious bastard's so Good, too.

[Bruce Bruce]

Oh, yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

Those guys are so good.

[Bruce Bruce]

Yeah,

[Adam Carolla]

it's hard. It's just. I'm a huge Tarantino fan.

[Bruce Bruce]

I am, too.

[Adam Carolla]

He's the only guy where I'm waiting for his next movie. The other guys I'm happy to watch, but I'm not waiting.

[Bruce Bruce]

Let me tell you what I like about him. He's not scared to go there. He doesn't care what nobody say. He gonna put the truth out and make it right. That's what I like about it.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, he also does a lot of stuff where you just think about choices he makes. Like, if you go like in Pulp Fiction, when what's her name goes. Uma Thurman goes, are you a square? She puts her fingers out and does a square, and they animate it, and then it falls down to the ground, right? And it's like, that seems weird. To do in the middle of a movie is to animate a square. You know what I mean? It's like, it's a choice. Cause it's a very gritty, realistic movie with lots of violence and everything else. Why, when she does her fingers square, we know what she's talking about. Like, you're square. Why do they have to, like, animate it and then have it fall down the ground? It's just a crazy. It's a choice that nobody else would ever make. And other people would go, like, well, maybe you don't want to do that because kind of taking people out of the movie because it's not happening in real life or whatever does. It works.

[Bruce Bruce]

It works well. Brilliant.

[Adam Carolla]

But every once in a while, he puts himself in the movie and it does bump you.

[Bruce Bruce]

He was in Django.

[Adam Carolla]

I know he was in Django at the end.

[Bruce Bruce]

He's the one that got blowed up.

[Adam Carolla]

It does bump you a little bit.

[Bruce Bruce]

What are you talking about? Black E. As he told the guy. What are you talking about?

[Adam Carolla]

Black E. Now I kind of want to see Django.

[Bruce Bruce]

Go look at it again. You'll like it.

[Adam Carolla]

I've seen it a million times. I just in the middle of Inglourious Basterds, which is really. Man, it's crazy how evil people could be back then.

[Bruce Bruce]

Yes, they are.

[Adam Carolla]

It is nuts.

[Bruce Bruce]

They were evil.

[Adam Carolla]

It is crazy. And it's also kind of refreshing to see lots of people fight evil. The square was an homage to. To the Flintstones. It was an homage to the Flintstones.

[Bruce Bruce]

Huh?

[Adam Carolla]

Why was it an homage to the Flintstones? I didn't. I'm trying to think where the square was on the Flintstones. I can usually make a connection, but I. Andrew, you got to get on the mic and say why this square was an homage. See, don't be a square. Rectangle drawing scene. And Pulp Fiction is an homage to a similar moment in the animated series, the Flintstones. Uma Thurman draws a square in the air, often interpreted as a rectangle to signify being bored or conventional. Huh. Had to do with the Flintstones, huh? Cause they're right outside Jackrabbit Slims.

[Bruce Bruce]

It's that pop culture restaurant.

[Adam Carolla]

Mm, that's.

[Bruce Bruce]

It's just part of it.

[Adam Carolla]

Boy, I don't get how the Flintstones are part of it though. Because when they go into the restaurant, there's all these pulp, pulp pop culture references. Buddy Holly, Richard Nixon, Jayne Mansfield. Right. It's just, it's. It's that. Why is the square an homage to the Flintstones? Because Quentin Tarantino packs his movies with

[Bruce Bruce]

homages to pop cultures.

[Adam Carolla]

Like the dance scene is. Yeah, but there's a scene in the Flinstones where they do that square. Yes, that's what he's directly referencing. Cause there's no Flintstones in the Jackrabbit Slims. But there must be a Flintstone reference somewhere. Yeah, well, I grew up out here and he grew up out here. So like when he does Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and I see the plumbing van, Jack Stephan Plumbing go down the street, I think about hearing those commercials when I was like, when I was like a kid. What are your top five movies? All Time.

[Bruce Bruce]

That's a good one. Of course. Ray with Jamie Foxx, Django. Let me see. It's a few of them that I love.

[Adam Carolla]

What are the comedies, for instance?

[Bruce Bruce]

I like radio. Radio because I'm an Ed Harris fan. Wait a minute, Coach.

[Adam Carolla]

But Raider's not a comedy.

[Bruce Bruce]

No, no, it's not a comedy. It was just one of the movies that I liked with Coober Goody Jr. You know, and then Ed Harris played that.

[Adam Carolla]

Sure.

[Bruce Bruce]

Comedy. It's not too much. I like in comedy. I like Money Talks with Chris Tucker and Machine. That was excellent.

[Adam Carolla]

So you find yourself watching more dramas than comedy. Cause you feel like you do comedy.

[Bruce Bruce]

Well, I like comedy and action. So when you got those two together, you got my attention.

[Adam Carolla]

Uh huh.

[Bruce Bruce]

You know, if you fight like Chris

[Adam Carolla]

Tucker and Jackie Chan or something, that's what you like. I like that Flintstones with a square. I have no idea. By the way, Andrew, the Jackrabbit Slims part's not that part I got. But I didn't know this. Were Pulp Fiction saturated in fifths in pop culture, referring icons. Elvis. Yeah, right. Elvis and Marilyn Monroe and Buddy Holly. But the Flintstones is the one I was thinking of. That's in there. The whole movie's just reference. Yeah, I know, but the Flintstones TV series Mia makes a square. Okay, so it was just through the Flintstones. Yeah, I'm just saying that that's. Yeah, I get the Jackrabbit Slims far. All right, now we got to find that scene as Flintstones. We're not going to do it. All right, Bruce. How do you get to Bruce? Bruce? There is an Isaac Bruce.

[Bruce Bruce]

Well, it's. You know, my mother used to. I had to call. My mother said, if I got to call you the third time, because she used to call me twice, and she said, let me do it a third time, it's going to be a problem. So that's how I went by Bruce,

[Mike Dawson]

Bruce,

[Adam Carolla]

the Special I Ain't Playing. It's available on Netflix.

[Bruce Bruce]

Absolutely.

[Adam Carolla]

That'll be March 3rd. Live dates coming up. Funny Bone, Liberty Township, Ohio. February 27th. 28th. That's coming up. This. No, next weekend. Next week. That's right. And for details, we go to the website, right?

Yes, sir.

[Adam Carolla]

Bruce. Bruce.com.

[Bruce Bruce]

absolutely.

[Adam Carolla]

Thanks for coming in. Bruce. Bruce, Take a quick break. Be right back with the news and Alicia. No, wait. The news in Dawson, right after this. Simply safe. Well, if you're like me, you like staying prepared for anything. And that's what I hate about most security systems. They wait for something to break and someone to break in to hear that crash before they react. Simplisafe Active Guard System. They have an outdoor protection AI and it monitors live. So they monitor this stuff outside before people get inside. And the agents catch people lurking around your property and they let you know before they end up inside of your living room. It's super affordable with monitoring plans starting at only a dollar a day. Look, we know the government isn't going to protect us, so I suggest you. You start doing it yourself. And that's why I use SimpliSafe. Am I right, Dawson?

[Mike Dawson]

You can get 50% off your new Simplisafe system with professional monitoring and your first month [e-mail]. adam. Again, that's 50% off your new SimpliSafe system with professional monitoring and your first month [e-mail]. adam. There's no safe like SimpliSafe.

[Adam Carolla]

has the news and we got little follow up. We found the Flintstone Wilma. Yeah. Doing the Squaresville with their fingers that made the dots. That is like Pulp Fiction, which I never remember from the Flintstones.

[Mike Dawson]

I'm curious how Andrew knew about this. Maybe he knows too much about Tarantino movies.

[Adam Carolla]

He knows a lot about Tarantino movies.

[Mike Dawson]

I'd say more about Tarantino movies than about the Flintstones.

[Adam Carolla]

All right, here we go. This is.

[Somali Community Representative]

I got it from a reliable source.

[Ad Read Announcer]

Hi Fi. Is really a square?

[Adam Carolla]

No, you mean like four corners?

[Ad Read Announcer]

That's exactly.

[Mike Dawson]

There it is.

[Adam Carolla]

There it is.

[Bruce Bruce]

There's the square. You did it.

[Adam Carolla]

And that's the square. All right, see if anybody can tell me if anyone can make sense of this. There, there, there are parts of life where I, I, I, I truly go. I don't really know what that was. I don't know what that was. So I go, last weekend I'm in Colorado up in the mountains doing a corporate thing and it's snowing outside. It's beautiful. Resort's beautiful and everything. And I tell Mike, I'll meet you down at 7am the car's gonna pick us up at 7am Okay. I get down there, I don't know, 6:58 and a half or something. Mike usually beats me to the car, but he's a couple minutes behind. And so it's 7am and there's no action in front of this thing and it's cold outside and so there's a big black Suburban with the hatch open.

[Mike Dawson]

Okay?

[Adam Carolla]

And by the way, can I say this as a courtesy or whatever. The guy who's the professional driver, he's got the hatch open.

[Bruce Bruce]

All right?

[Adam Carolla]

We're gonna come down with the luggage. He's got both doors open because we're gonna get in the car and it's parked there. It's nine degrees outside. I would like you to shut the doors and shut the hatch, crank up the heat. And then when we show up, you could open the door and we could go into the suv.

[Mike Dawson]

That makes sense.

[Adam Carolla]

And we'll open it ourselves. But this thing is freezing inside. Cause both doors are open and the hatch is open, and it's 6:58 and it's 11 degrees outside. So I would say he's doing it as a courtesy. Prep. I'm saying you're actually doing the opposite of a courtesy. Cause it's freezing inside of this suv. But I see the suv and I go, all right, well, this has got to be our car. Cause the hatch is open and the dude's a driver, and there's no other cars. So I come rolling up with my gear, expecting to see Mike in there, but Mike's two minutes behind me. And so I go rolling in there and I go, I think this is my car. And he goes, mike? And I go, yeah, yeah. Mike sits under Mike's name, right? And I go, okay. And I throw my bags in the back and he goes, mike Hunt?

[Mike Dawson]

I go, are you making a joke?

[Adam Carolla]

I go, you doing a Jerky Boys bit here? I go. And he goes, mike Hunt. And I go, so now it's weird because I just threw my shit in the car. Right, Mike. Mike Dawson. Fairly popular name.

[Mike Dawson]

Sure.

[Adam Carolla]

Amongst middle aged dudes. And this could be Mike Hunt's car. And so I'm like, mike Hunt? I go, are you doing that joke?

[Mike Dawson]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

Are you doing that jerky boys thing? And I go. And then at some point he goes, mike August. And I go, yeah, Mike August. And he goes, okay, yeah, yeah. And he still thinks I'm Mike August at this point. But I go, okay. And then. So I go, yeah, let me go grab Mike Hunt or August. I go into the lobby, Mike's coming out. I go, mike, what is this? Why is he saying Mike Hunt? I don't know. Is he screwing? Like, is somebody screwing with him? Is he screwing around?

[Mike Dawson]

But then how did he know Mike August?

[Adam Carolla]

That had to be on the piece of paper. So he had like a weird Tourette's like, moment. With the mic Hunt, it would make sense if you.

[Mike Dawson]

If he was trying to trick you.

[Adam Carolla]

Nobody knows as a so.

[Mike Dawson]

But here's the confirmation that you weren't. Here's.

[Adam Carolla]

Here's the comedy.

[Bruce Bruce]

So don't get it.

[Adam Carolla]

I'm always put in these positions where I'm like, should I get my luggage out of Mike Hunt's SUV and go look for my suv, which is not here? And then, where's Mike Hunt, by the way? And then, why would Mike August be Mike Hunt? Anyway, so we get in the car and it's the exact same thing. We're about an hour and a half away from the Denver airport right now. Denver has a killer centurion lounge. And I got the black card. And the black card means you go in front of everybody, you have your own special area, and you get like a 60 year old bottle of scotch or top shelf champagne for a drink. You get the thing. But I'm like, look, it's early morning, there's nobody on the roads, and if this guy puts his foot into it a little, we're gonna get an extra 10 minutes at that lounge, right? So I do what I do all the time. I sit in the back and I go, listen, you drive as fast as you want, and we want you to drive fast. And you will not hear. There's nobody in this car that's gonna complain. Mike drives like a. Mike Hunt drives like a maniac. And I ride shotgun with him everywhere, and I don't care. So go for it. Smash cut to. Every single time we're going on freeway, there are guys blasting by in minivans and Priuses just blasting, just. We got passed by 86 cars on the way to the airport.

[Mike Dawson]

Did you say something at a certain

[Adam Carolla]

point when like four of them passed us all at once? At some point, it was getting a little dangerous because these guys were splitting, going right, going left. It's just like, literally I said to him, I just go, you know, we can pick it up. These guys are, you know, they're driving minivan. This isn't the Ferrari Club of Denver. This is moms and Aerostars, like guys in gardening trucks just blasting Pat. Like, we can pick it up. Okay? It's like, first off, why, why, why? Here's what I'm saying. Why can't I say here's what I want? And then you do it. Why are you just gonna do exactly the same? Now you could say, look, no one will ever do this. This is a white guy, middle aged guy. You can go, listen, I Drive for a living. And if I get tickets, it's gonna hurt my living.

[Mike Dawson]

Right.

[Adam Carolla]

But it's 75 between, you know, the highway to Denver Airport. 75. I'll do it at 85. How about that? And I would go, okay, yeah. They never say anything. They just drive. And then we just have cars blasting past, and I smack Mike in the fucking thigh all the way back. What the fuck? But by the way, why can't you, as an adult white American, hear what somebody said in the back of a car and then just fucking do it? Like it's. We're living in a time where it's like if you get into a. If you say, you know, I'm quarterback, go 10 yards, break hard left and go. You just see a guy's back running to the end zone and you go, what did. What did we talk about? Like, oh, so there was that. There's also.

[Mike Dawson]

That guy probably just enjoys driving too much.

[Adam Carolla]

I listen and he's afraid. I'll tell you here what that guy does. That guy does what that guy does, and that's what he does.

[Mike Dawson]

And that's what he does.

[Adam Carolla]

And. And he's 61 and picking me and Mike Hunt up at 5:30 in the morning at a place. So there's a reason why he's where. Where he is.

[Mike Dawson]

That's the only thing that really gives me major anxiety, is when people don't drive as fast as they should.

[Adam Carolla]

It drives me nuts. Especially when every minute we spend in the back of that SUV is one minute we're not going to spend in that lounge, which had an omelet bar, by the way.

[Bruce Bruce]

Oh, geez.

[Adam Carolla]

All right. So I also took a picture from the plane because I had this couple dudes, but may have been a couple, this sort of big dude sitting next to us in first class. And of course they brought their. Their dog. They had their dog there. It said service dog on this pug. Yeah, at a certain point, it's the pug with the super curly tail, you know? Yeah. And at some point it got up and it was just on the guy's lap the whole time and then whatever. And at some point it got up and turned. It's got the pugtail. And I just was like, mike, I'm sitting in first class staring at a dog's asshole. Yeah, that's what I'm doing. That's what I'm doing. So these guys want to fly with their dog and the pug staring me down. Yeah, that's Mike's.

[Mike Dawson]

What service does that Dog provide.

[Adam Carolla]

I sat with these gentlemen for damn near three hours, and I have no idea. It sat on their lap. It doesn't provide any. No, it's. I want to fly with my dog. And I'm going to tell people that I have an emotional issue.

[Mike Dawson]

Right.

[Adam Carolla]

But anyway.

[Mike Dawson]

Anyway.

[Adam Carolla]

All right, so there was. That. There was Mike Hunt, which I still don't know.

[Mike Dawson]

Makes zero sense about.

[Adam Carolla]

I got. I got an argument with someone online because. Or not someone online. Maybe the online community, because somebody had posted that Boston was not in the Rock and Roll hall of Fame. Correct. And Eddie Trunk tweeted that.

[Mike Dawson]

I retweeted that tweet.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, okay.

[Mike Dawson]

And then I think you saw it that way.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. And I was like. And Joan Jett is. And people are like, here, I will add Joan Jett to the list of the Velvet Underground and Lou Reed and the Beastie Boys. I defy any Rolling Stone critic to just go, joan Jett. Her hits were cover songs. And she didn't write anything. She wasn't. Right. And people. She was the. She was a pioneering. She fucking sucks. She's in the Rock and Roll hall of Fame with two cover songs. And then. I love it when people make the case for them. They go, she also had Cherry Bomb. It's just like. Just a stupid little antisocial ditty. And then they list three other songs I've never heard in my life and no one has ever heard. Like, here's the whole thing with Joan Jett. You make the case. Tell me why no one ever. No one can do it. And Ted Nugent's not in, so it doesn't. It's not a Rock and Roll hall of Fame. It's a complete affirmative action bullshit lesbian. If she wasn't a lesbian, she would not be in the Rock and Roll hall of Fame. There's no if, ands, or buts about it. It would be impossible if she was not a lesbian. She would most assuredly not be in the Rock and Roll hall of Fame. If she wasn't a woman. She would never. There's no male version of Joan Jett. Okay. There's a male version of Joan Jett. I got two crappy hits. They're both covers. And that's about it.

[Mike Dawson]

Yep.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah.

[Mike Dawson]

And to bolster your argument a little bit more, I'm not sure if Pat Benatar finally got in last week, but Pat Benatar has been repeatedly snubbed by the Rock and Roll Hall. If she was a lesbian, she got more girls interested in Rock and roll than Joan Jett ever did. And she is Happily married to her guitar player slash producer for the last four years.

[Adam Carolla]

Yes. If she was a lesbian. Yeah, she'd be in. Yeah. All right, News, what do you got?

[Mike Dawson]

Craziness in Minnesota. Transgender Minnesota lawbreaker lawmaker ignited an online firestorm after bizarre Charlie arguing against age limits against age limits on porn sites, claiming queer kids need access to the X rated content for educational purposes. It's State Rep. Lee Fink, a two term Democrat, identifies as a woman pushed back against a proposal that require age checks on porn websites. Here's what she said.

[Adam Carolla]

Mentioned the Paxton case and the ags in many states are very clear about. They're almost jubilant about being able to use these laws to ban young people from accessing content that could be educational. If they are queer and you are principal, you have LGBT students in your school. And we also know that they're not receiving sex education for queer kids. We know that prurient interest could be for many people the very existence of transgender kids. More and more people are saying there simply are no transgender kids mentioned.

[Mike Dawson]

So they're victims.

[Adam Carolla]

It's an insane. There's no way I thought when I was a kid that I was gonna spend the lion's share of my adult life hearing about either Muslim terrorist groups I couldn't pronounce or fucking dumb shit Americans arguing about gays and trans and lesbians. I never thought that this would be my adult life just hearing he she dumb shit people mental cases just argue and argue and argue about we should have the flag, the gay flag should be above the White House and represented at the Olympics.

[Bruce Bruce]

God.

[Mike Dawson]

Right.

[Adam Carolla]

How many transgender people are even out there? We are completely insane that we've taken this population of, you know, 0.0001% and made it the talking point for everything. We never argue about taxes or potholes or like any of the shit I would care about. I would like a non stop dialogue about all the stuff I wanted and we never get it. It's all trans talk, right? We sit. It's kind of an interesting thing. I would sit. Everybody who is in a modern city, in a modern society, but especially let's say Los Angeles, you basically sit in traffic every single day of your life in this city and then you turn on the TV and every politician is arguing about something trans. And no traffic talk, no, no transportation talk, just trans talk. And meanwhile, I don't know any trans people. I'm aware of Bruce Jenner, who's now Caitlyn Jenner, and that's about it. That's about it and oddball politicians here and there. But what I'm saying is in terms of impactfulness, traffic every single day. Trans people, neither here nor there. Do whatever the fuck you want. Let your freak flag fly. That's what we talk about.

[Mike Dawson]

Well, I had to look up a word here. Prurient.

[Adam Carolla]

I know what that word means.

[Mike Dawson]

It means having or encouraging an excessive interest in sexual matters. And he says, we know that prurient interest could be for many the very existence of transgender kids. So what that person is saying is that all transgender people have an excessive interest in sexual matters.

[Adam Carolla]

And by the way, this

[Mike Dawson]

representative's last name is Fink. Remember we were talking to Chef Gruel about the irony of last names and professions? A fink is an unpleasant or contemptible person. And you know, it's worse forms on people.

[Adam Carolla]

Rat Fink. Yeah, that used to be a snitch. A snitch. All right. Important. Getting the words, getting the job done for the kids who are insane.

[Mike Dawson]

Yeah, let's stay in Minnesota for a minute. The Somali community in Minnesota is demanding reparations.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, they built reparations.

[Mike Dawson]

They built the community. They did.

[Adam Carolla]

No, not the community. They built Minnesota, the whole state. They built everything. That's what I've learned. Slaves and Somalis have built everything. By the way, if these folks who come from these lands are excellent builders, how come nothing ever gets built in their land? It's a whole land of them. You know what I mean? Here's what I'm saying. You can look it up, Andrew, but I'm going to go out on a limb and say Duesenberg, German. Duesenberg come to the United States and Duesenberg starts building themselves some good cars.

[Mike Dawson]

Right?

[Adam Carolla]

Because that's what they do. Because they come from a land of Porsches and a land of Audi and Auto Union and vw. They come from a land of high quality automobiles. And thus they come to Indiana and they start building cars.

[Mike Dawson]

Right?

[Adam Carolla]

And so how is it that slaves, descendants from Africa and Somalis from Africa, they're amazing. They built everything here according to the left. Shouldn't they be building their ass off back where they're from?

[Mike Dawson]

Right.

[Adam Carolla]

If they're builders, I don't seem to be doing that much building. Where are the Duesenbergs from? Sorry, go ahead.

[Mike Dawson]

That sounds like a German thing.

[Adam Carolla]

That sounds pretty German. Yeah, but we'll see.

[Mike Dawson]

They're from Dudeseldorf.

[Bruce Bruce]

Let's.

[Mike Dawson]

Let's listen to the Somali communities. Demands over reparations, over ice trauma.

[Somali Community Representative]

Fits into our criteria of Somali, of small Business owners, not Those who makes 200,000 and above. We don't make that much a month. And we have been suffering since the crisis of ice. We also demand an immediate help to evictions so families are not pushed to homelessness during the crisis. Our community deserves accountability. Our community deserves safety. We need also justice for those who lost their lives defending the community.

[Mike Dawson]

Okay, again, what they want is free cash grants to immigrant businesses that make under $200,000. Stop all evictions and give them free rent.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah.

[Mike Dawson]

They want the government to apologize and they want ICE banned for the. From their neighborhoods and justice for, quote, martyrs.

[Adam Carolla]

Duesenberg Crater from Germany. There you go. So they had the heritage of the fine automobile coursing through their blood. Yeah. And they came here and they started building Duesenbergs. And thus it's a doozy, as the phrase came from. Now, the thing that's interesting is Duesenberg was building those cars before Volkswagen, before Porsche, and before Audi, which used to be Auto Union, not before Mercedes. Huh. Be interesting. It's from Lippe or Liepe or whatever. Germany came here in 85, grew up in Iowa. But Duesenbergs are from, like, the teens and the twenties, and that would predate vw, Porsche, Audi, I think. Well, not Mercedes Benz, anyway. Duesenberg, in a weird way, it's kind of an early German car. Even though it was built in. I think it was built in Indiana, but I can't. Can't be sure. Built first cars in Iowa. Huh? Built first cars in Iowa and then went to Indiana. Or am I making that up? Yes. And then. And what year was like the first Duesenberg? Now, more for Andrew. Let's see. Trying to see.

[Mike Dawson]

Well, post World War I. That sound right?

[Adam Carolla]

Right in there, though. Like. Like. Like late teens, early 20s, 1921. All right, sorry. Go ahead.

[Mike Dawson]

Mayor. New York Mayor Zoran Mamdani, although He opposes requiring IDs to vote yes, he mandates. He's asking people to. To come and be a citizen snow shoveler during the storms. But in order to get paid, you have to show five forms of identification to shovel snow. You can see on the screen here two small photos, like a passport photo or driver's license, two original forms of id, plus copies, and a Social Security card. Now, here's the big question, boss. What about those women who really want to shovel snow, who got married?

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. Mm.

[Mike Dawson]

And they're not gonna be able to prove.

[Adam Carolla]

What about black people? They love shoveling snow.

[Bruce Bruce]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

Like poor Mississippian black blues singers love shoveling snow. How do they get how they're gonna get? They're not gonna do it.

[Mike Dawson]

They're not gonna be able to do it.

[Adam Carolla]

They're going to be. And by the way, what if there's some ice guys walking around while they're shoveling snow? They're not gonna be able to feel intimidated. And they won't be able to shovel snow. Yeah. So first it was black guys who couldn't shovel snow, and now they've gotten off of the black guys, even though they still call it Jim Snow 2.0 or whatever that was.

[Mike Dawson]

Jimmy Failo. That's a great one. Jim Snow 2.0.

[Adam Carolla]

But now they got onto women who got married who didn't change their names in enough times. They could shovel snow. Yeah, yeah, it's.

[Mike Dawson]

The pay is pretty good, too.

[Adam Carolla]

What is the pay?

[Mike Dawson]

First 40 hours pays $19.14 per hour. After you work 40 hours, in one week, it jumps up to 2871.

Huzzah.

[Ad Read Announcer]

Pluto TV stream now. Pain Ever.

[Adam Carolla]

You know, I gotta tell you man, as I've lamented many times when I got outta high school, I was like so good to go on any job. I was, you know, I was a high school football player, I was super strong and I had like low self esteem. I just, whatever. If you said, hey, there's a bunch of rat shit under the house, get under the house and clean up the rat shit. I would have went, okay. And then I would have went, oh, I didn't bring my rat shit cleaning gloves. And you could have went, so what? Just do with your hand. And I would just crawl down your house and done it. I was like mowing lawns and shit. When I was 18. Where were all these fucking jobs? I would have fucking shoveled snow for 60 hours a week and I literally would have went fucking fine.

[Mike Dawson]

Absolutely.

[Adam Carolla]

By the way, how much grift is going to be with these guys putting their hours in with the show? This is going to be Snowgate.

[Mike Dawson]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

Because there is no fucking way these guys are going to be staring at their phone, they're going to do two shovelfuls, they're going to go back to looking at their phone again. Who's going to be in charge of all these people and logging all the fucking hours.

[Mike Dawson]

And then they're going to say that the people who are actually making them work, they're racist.

[Adam Carolla]

Right? Right.

[Mike Dawson]

Because they're making it work. Let's hear what, let's hear Mum. Donnie.

[Adam Carolla]

We're utilizing 33 DSNY vans and two DSNY buses to transport shovelers where they're needed faster. And for those who want to do more to help your neighbors and earn some extra cash, you too can become an emergency snow shoveler. Just show up at your local sanitation garage between 8am and 1pm tomorrow with your paperwork which is accessible [e-mail] snow and you can get started right away.

[Mike Dawson]

Get your paperwork, bring your papers. That's so racist.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, it's like Nazi Germany. I know that. Out of your papers.

[Mike Dawson]

Jackbooted thugs.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh man, I know, it's so funny. The anti ID people get burned with the id. Every corner like to vote on the bill. They have to use their ID to vote. It's all great. The one thing about really retarded ideas is be prepared for those ideas to slap you in the face constantly. You know what I mean? Like if you have a retarded idea. So if you're Billie Eilish and you wanna get up there and bloviate about, no one's illegal on stolen Land, Be prepared for somebody to send a couple of tweets out about you and your $8 million house.

[Mike Dawson]

Right?

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, it's gonna happen immediately. Meaning I cannot, I can't call myself a personal trainer while I'm smoking a cigarette through a donut. Sure, someone's gonna go, hey, you're telling me to get in shape. Look at fucking you with your donut. It's gonna happen almost immediately. And so if you're AOC and Bernie Sanders and you're out on your Stop the Oligarchy tour, but you're racking up half a million dollars in private air, air travel. Be prepared, everybody.

[Mike Dawson]

Your net worth is growing exponentially. You haven't done any work.

[Adam Carolla]

You never stop talking about the unhoused community, but you have three homes.

[Mike Dawson]

Well, here's the thing.

[Adam Carolla]

Prepared or by the way, John Edwards, if you're going to travel to Davos privately to talk about the climate and CO2, John Kerry. John Kerry, sorry. Be prepared for somebody to say something, right?

[Mike Dawson]

We're seeing, we're about to see this probably with Newsom and Pritchard saying that because the tariffs, the tariffs were struck down by the Supreme Court, that Donald Trump owes everybody a refund. Now he's already been floating around giving money to everybody from these tariffs, right? And now they're saying, give us a refund. I see him saying, I see Trump just saying, okay, well we'll, let's send out these checks right before the midterms. It's going to blow up in Newsom.

[Adam Carolla]

And also the second thing everyone says is you gave $24 billion out of taxpayer money to NGOs for homeless. Nobody cares about that accountability. So I'd like, as a, as a high earning Californian who pays a lot state taxes, I could also use a rebate for squandered money. How about that?

[Mike Dawson]

We spent billions on homeless in California and all we got was three times the homeless people.

[Adam Carolla]

Right. So I'd like a rebate. Yeah. Is what I'm saying.

[Mike Dawson]

Right.

[Adam Carolla]

As long as we're get newsome. As long as you're bringing up the subject of rebates, let's stay on it. That's what I'm saying. All right.

[Mike Dawson]

Insanity. A man in his early 20s was shot and killed by U.S. secret Service after breaching the secure perimeter at President Trump's Mar A Lago property early Sunday morning.

[Adam Carolla]

I heard that. Yeah.

[Mike Dawson]

Secret Service says the incident unfolded around 1:30am at the north gate of the Palm beach estate. Let's hear the press conference at 1:30

[Secret Service Agent]

this morning the security detail detected that a individual had made his way into the inner perimeter of Mar A Lago. A deputy and two Secret Service agents on the detail went to that area to investigate. They confronted a white male that was carried a gas can and a shotgun. He was ordered to drop those two pieces of equipment that he had with him, at which time he put down the gas can, raised the shotgun to a shooting position. At that point in time, the deputy and the two Secret Service agents fired their weapons and neutralized the threat. He is deceased at the scene. I'll give you a picture of the shotgun and the gas can to have with you. So that's what we know now. Investigation continues. The FBI is the lead investigation agency on this case. And we will be assisting them in whatever manner.

[Adam Carolla]

By the way, pause it for a second. This is why I could never give a press conference. Because if you roll. Just go back. Go back like 10 seconds if you can. And turn it up, sir.

[Secret Service Agent]

So that's what we know now. Investigation continues. The FBI is the lead investigation agency.

[Adam Carolla]

Where's that shotgun? Where's that shotgun? Do we still have the shotgun? Good, because that bird is driving me nuts. I can't go through this presser. I got that bird squawking the get. Tim, that's revision. It's in the evidence locker. Go get it. Right. Go get it. I'll put some gloves on. I'm not going to do this presser with that fucking duck back there going nuts. And by the way, it's loaded. It's good. It's not the shotgun's fault, you know, it's the owner's fault. So let's just turn it on. Let's just turn that shotgun on that bird. Go back 10 seconds and listen to that bird. It's quacking the whole fucking time.

[Mike Dawson]

Oh, God.

[Secret Service Agent]

You have a picture of the shotgun and the gas can to have with you. So that's what we know now. Investigation continues. The FBI is the lead investigation litigation agency on this case. And we will be assisting them in whatever manner they would like.

[Adam Carolla]

And hold on, everyone. Hold on. Let's kill that fucking bird. And by the way, good eating, you know. You guys like duck?

[Mike Dawson]

I think it's a crow.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, it's by the water. Maybe it's a. It's crow. And it's got. It's not crow. It's got some crow to it, but it's by the water. And it's one of those weird Florida.

[Mike Dawson]

Florida. Could be some kind of gull Florida.

[Adam Carolla]

Weird birds. I just got done playing shows in Florida. There's a fucking weird bird every 10ft over there. They got water. Where you get water, you get weird birds and you get weird birds a little bit by the ocean, but if you get by fresh water, you get a bunch of weird ass birds. But anyway, that's, that's ocean water in the back though. All right. So yeah, so look, you want to keep going with the Hitler and all this kind of shit, then you're what's going nutty. People showing up with shotguns.

[Mike Dawson]

Why the gas can? Was it a two stroke shotgun?

[Adam Carolla]

Huh? I don't know.

[Mike Dawson]

I guess he had maybe, probably possibly had the intention of setting something on fire.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, I mean, people. Well, first off, we spend a lot of time doing a kind of a. We spend a lot of time trying to figure out crazy people, I've realized. And then as the, as I said, as the great Howie Mandel said, I think you were there back at the club, we're playing after he came upstairs from eating at the barbecue joint across

[Mike Dawson]

the street, shared popcorn with all of us.

[Adam Carolla]

I mean, you have to picture this. I was thinking about this as I was sharing popcorn with Mike August on the airplane. It's a long story, but popcorn in a world like we're a weird group in that people open the bathroom door with their foot, you know what I mean? They'll use their sleeve to pull the thing to open a door outside or whatever. But when you ride on the shuttle, on the train over in the airport or whatever, everyone just grabs those hand grabs and no one ever wipes them down or washes your hands. You just grab where millions of people grab all day every day and you just happily grab onto that. You don't. No one sanitizes, no one. I watch people on the train at the Denver. They're all just hanging on and they all just grab their luggage and leave. You got your fucking neck pillow. That neck pillow is going through the security thing. It's on the floor all the time. When you fucking backpack sitting, you drop it down with its hat, you know, that fucking neck pillow is disgusting. And you just pop that thing on, put it around your neck. You don't wash it, you don't sterilize it, you don't anything it, right when

[Mike Dawson]

it comes to the doorknobs in the bathroom, most people wash their hands before they leave a public bathroom.

[Adam Carolla]

So they are cleaning of all the hands. You'll never have cleaner hands, right? And then. But then it comes to the popcorn. The popcorn. You reach into the popcorn thing, and you shove them into your fingers. This was like, kettle corny stuff. Like, you put your whole hand in your fucking mouth, and then you go right back in.

[Mike Dawson]

Right back in.

[Adam Carolla]

And the person next to you goes right back in. But that same person, if you used. If that person was like a chick and you just rinsed your coffee mug and used it, she'd be like, that's so gross. It's disgusting. It's covered with. It's like, all right, so it's grosser than you licking all your fingers and putting them back into this. And by the way, when you're feeling around, it's a random grab. You get some pop out, some are in your hand. Fall, fall out. And we're just going to lick our fingers and go right back into this bucket.

[Mike Dawson]

If there was something. If there was a contaminant on your hand.

[Adam Carolla]

Yes.

[Mike Dawson]

It would spread throughout the entire population.

[Adam Carolla]

There is nobody who has a problem with popcorn. Every woman I've ever known will sit in a movie theater and happily put a big tub of popcorn in between the two of us. Later on, if I used a fork to eat dinner and then just, like, rinsed it off and set it aside for tomorrow, they'd be, that's. That's disgusting. Right. By the way, that's just me using it. It's not even her using it. It's me. It's disgusting because I used it and I'm gonna use it again. It'd have to go in the dishwasher. So we got weird rules is what I'm saying. And Howie Mandel comes walking in with a box of popcorn, a lid, like a shirt box. Lid of popcorn that he got from the. From the barbecue joint. And he's handing it around, and everyone's reaching out, licking their fingers right back. That's Howie Mandel. And Howie's eating it. And I'm just looking. This guy won't shake hands, and he's. Everyone's licking their fingers and going into his popcorn, and he's going for it, too. And back to the answer when I said to him, howie, I don't get this. I'm looking at my fingers. He's looking his fingers. We're all eating your popcorn. You're eating your popcorn. I thought you were a germaphobe. It doesn't make any sense. He goes, you don't get it. I'm nuts.

[Bruce Bruce]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

I go, oh, yeah, you're nuts. Yeah. Oh, okay.

[Mike Dawson]

Makes perfect sense now.

[Adam Carolla]

Makes sense, right?

[Mike Dawson]

Right.

[Adam Carolla]

What's he doing with A gas can. Well, he's nuts. He's nuts. That's. That's what it is now. He's nuts. And you assholes call Trump Hitler. And that's a. That's a call to action for many nutty people with shotguns and gas cans, and you won't stop. But by the way, I don't think for a second I would assume that most of these people, and I think it's more of a feminine quality, If you gave any of the squad the Rashida Tlaibs or the Omars or ilhan Omars or AOCs or anything, if you said to him, listen, I got a little magic wand. You wave it, Trump's dead. He just dies in his sleep. And they'd go, would it come back to me? And I go, no, no, it wouldn't come back to you. Any more than anyone dies. Somebody dies in their sleep, I'm gonna come back to you. They'd go, where's the wand?

[Mike Dawson]

Right?

[Adam Carolla]

And if you said, do the same thing for Elon Musk. I'll give you a little wand. He can just be dead, would it come back to me? No. Just wake up, just. Middle of the night, dies, oh, give me the wand. I 100% believe they would do that.

[Mike Dawson]

I believe that, too.

[Adam Carolla]

One fucking hundred percent. I don't think religious people and, you know, I don't think Ted Cruz would do that to Karen Bass. I don't think so. But I think for sure they'd be happy if Trump was assassinated, 100%, because. So they don't. The answer is whatever they're, you know, turn down the heat and turn down the rhetoric. I don't think they care at all. They'd love it.

[Mike Dawson]

Even Adam Schiff would do that. I don't think it's just the.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, listen, if you. Let's do it this way, Dawson. And do you have another story, by the way?

[Mike Dawson]

I do not.

[Adam Carolla]

Okay, let's put it to you this way. If you believed. If they believe. If they believed 10% of what they say about Trump, right? Not 80%, not 110. If they believed 10% of what they say about Trump, yes, they should want him assassinated, right? It's like saying, well, I didn't believe everything, you know? Well, what if you, you know, Hitler killed 6 million Jews? Well, what if he only was gonna kill 500,000 Jews? I'd still want him dead, you know, even though I'm saying 6 million. Right. But 500's enough. And that's one twelfth of what I was Saying, but it's still enough for me to want him dead. All you'd have to do is believe a little bit of what you're saying about Trump, about how dangerous he was. And we weren't gonna have elections. We lost our democracy. Democracy. If you believe 10% of what you said, you'd want him dead.

[Mike Dawson]

Well, Trump is going to be delivering the State of the Union address tonight. And remember the last State of the Union, the Democrats were holding signs and dressing a certain way and very childish for protest this time. I don't, I don't think there's going to be much protest inside because most of the Democrats just won't show up. Yeah, Adam Schiff won't be there.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, man. Good dude.

[Mike Dawson]

Because he's a hero.

[Adam Carolla]

Scott does four years of Russiagate and then nothing comes out of it. But by the way, I'll tell you one thing about those guys. Gavin Newsom's this way, Adam Schiff's this way. All those assholes on the left are this way. They cannot be shamed. You can never shame them. You can go, you were fucking wrong about everything, Covid. And they go, yeah, that's funny. You did four years of Russia Gate, right? Four years and we're proven wrong of lying and there's nothing. And they go, fine, who cares? Moving on. Like, they literally have no gear where they self reflect.

[Mike Dawson]

Part of that is they really do some. They have to somehow really believe that all the things that they say about Trump are absolutely true, thus justifying the lies.

[Adam Carolla]

I here's what I think.

[Mike Dawson]

Like they're on some sidewalk.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, yeah. Oh, no. Yeah, sure. Yeah, right. Look, everybody who was in the French resistance had forged papers. Well, that's illegal. I know it is. You're not who you say you are. No, I'm not. You're wearing a German soldier's uniform. That's against the Geneva Convention. Yeah, well, that's what we're dealing with.

[Mike Dawson]

Right?

[Adam Carolla]

So fine. Yes, of course. Nobody's. Yes. I think they think he is such a threat to their ecosystem, such a threat to their business as usual.

[Mike Dawson]

Oh, 100%.

[Adam Carolla]

Such a threat to a threat to

[Mike Dawson]

their freedom in many cases. Because these people broke the law.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, I mean, he is such a threat that would love it if he's gone. Especially if you're constituency with Somalis that were ripping off taxpayers and you just want street vendors. Leave us alone.

[Mike Dawson]

Right, right.

[Adam Carolla]

When you are ripping people off, you need to be left alone. If you're a drug cartel, you're not asking the government to help sell drugs. You're telling the government, please look the other way so I can carry out my business. You know what I mean? So if you are some homeless NGO in California that is getting millions and millions of dollars, all you want is for to be left alone. You certainly don't want a new sheriff in town who's going to be asking questions and wanting to look at some numbers. Right? So when you're. You know, I've built. I've built my fair share of like, bootleg shit. Just remodel the kitchen without a permit or whatever. All you want to be is left alone. You don't want the government to help you build the kitchen. You just want them not to knock on your door.

[Mike Dawson]

Right.

[Adam Carolla]

And what you don't want to hear is there's a new guy from zoning and planning and Plan Check who's really. He's really particular and he may be coming around. Like, I think that's. You want to be left alone to waste the taxpayer money or to sell people drugs or to do your human trafficking or to do your street vending, whatever that. Whatever shit you're up to, you want to be left alone to do it. And if you're a shit corrupt politician, you want to be left alone to do it. And he's not going to do that. Yeah, they're going to do a protest. Remember when Nancy Pelosi tore the speech up behind him?

[Mike Dawson]

So dumb.

[Adam Carolla]

That's also why. Why do these people become heroes? Oh, they got State of the Swamp. We got Robert De Niro. How much credibility has Robert De Niro lost in the last decade?

[Mike Dawson]

Oh, most of it.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. Mayor Brandon Johnson.

[Mike Dawson]

Swalwell's gonna be there. Don Lemon.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, Stacey.

[Mike Dawson]

Don Lemon got fired because Stacey Abrams.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, Jim Acosta, Mark Ruffalo. Oh, Eric Schwalwell. Oh, oh, Marianne Williamson. Marianne Williamson came in here and I did an interview with her like eight years ago. She's a fan. Dope.

[Mike Dawson]

Yes, she is.

[Adam Carolla]

You know she's a dope. Yes, she is a dumb fucking person. She can.

[Mike Dawson]

Tom Arnold is going to be there. He's severely brain damaged.

[Adam Carolla]

Going to be there. What? Stacey Abrams. What are the chances she'll recognize Tom Arnold?

[Mike Dawson]

Oh, is she.

[Adam Carolla]

Is. Is Mayor Brandon Johnson of Chicago going to know who Tom Arnold is?

[Mike Dawson]

Probably not.

[Adam Carolla]

I don't think so. Then Seth Moulton, Representative Dan Goldman, all the fucking losers from both sides. I'm sorry, from the left side of the aisle are going to be there all the. And by the way, Brandon Johnson fucking run your city. Would you, bro.

[Mike Dawson]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

Jesus Christ. And many more guests. So they're going to do a big rally. Where's Bruce Springsteen? Who's playing?

[Mike Dawson]

The baseball tour. He's going to start his tour, but apparently tickets are like 3,000 bucks.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, man, that's the Boss. Yeah. Boss gotta get paid.

[Mike Dawson]

Boss has got to get paid.

[Adam Carolla]

So this is going to be in, in D.C. i guess, the protest event. You know what? This will, this will move the needles. Like remember the Million Woman March? Yeah. When they all knitted themselves and they just went up and down the Boulev.

[Mike Dawson]

Right.

[Adam Carolla]

Remember how that changed things with the ladies?

[Mike Dawson]

Right.

[Adam Carolla]

Remember there was a war on ladies before that?

[Mike Dawson]

Yeah, there was. And now waging war on them for a long time.

[Adam Carolla]

Now they got a hat and they're going up and down the street and they got Madonna and she's pissed off.

[Mike Dawson]

Thank God for her.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, there's gonna be some righteous speeches.

[Mike Dawson]

Oh, Ruffalo. Yep, Ruffalo.

[Adam Carolla]

And De Niro. Because when you got acting chops and you're giving a speech, then you end up with, oh, let's see. Andrew. Oh, God, what is her name? Who was the actor? The greatest. The greatest was the McIntyre. No, not Reba McIntyre. Judd.

[Mike Dawson]

Oh, Ashley Judd.

[Adam Carolla]

Ashley Judd.

[Mike Dawson]

Right.

[Adam Carolla]

Ashley Judd unhinged speech. If you, if you find that. Yeah. You're. You're gonna. That is a little slice. That is a slice of heaven. Ashley Judd. I think that was Trump's first inauguration, right? Yeah.

[Mike Dawson]

All of these people, they don't, they don't have any new ideas. It's all they have is we hate Trump. And that works for a certain segment of the population. But they're not changing any minds.

[Adam Carolla]

They want everyone to have a seat at the table, Dawson.

[Mike Dawson]

Oh, that's true.

[Adam Carolla]

And nobody should go bed hungry.

[Mike Dawson]

Nobody should have left behind.

[Adam Carolla]

No one should have food insecurity. And the everyone should get a house, there's a school to prison pipeline that needs to be blown up. I don't know what that is. Yeah. Ashley Judd unhinged speech. I think that that's all Google needs. Right. For 30 seconds of that. Here we go. There's going to be a lot of

[Mike Dawson]

this powerful, powerful speech.

[Somali Community Representative]

I'm not as nasty as a man who looks like he bathes in Cheeto dust. A man whose words are a diss track to America Electoral college sanctioned hate speech contaminating this national anthem. I'm not as nasty as Confederate flags being tattooed across the my city. Maybe the south actually is gonna rise again. Maybe for some it never really Fell blacks are still in shackles and graves just for being black. Slavery has been reinterpreted as the prison system in front of people who see melanin as animal skin. I am not as nasty as a swastika painted on a pride flag.

[Mike Dawson]

All right, Slam poetry.

[Adam Carolla]

This is gonna be. This is gonna be awesome insanity. All right, here's the betting. Over under on De Niro F bombs. Oh, 1313. De Niro.

[Mike Dawson]

Depends on how long they make us speak. It will be. It will be every fourth word.

[Adam Carolla]

All right. He's a dope.

[Mike Dawson]

Yes, he's a dope.

[Adam Carolla]

All right, that is it, Texas. Coming up Friday, Saturday, Hyenas comedy club. I want to thank Bruce Bruce for coming in and Dawson Dawson for doing the news. And until next time, this is Adam Carolla for Bruce Bruce and Dawson saying mahalo.

[Mike Dawson]
