Show Announcer
From Corolla One Studios in Glendale, California, this is the Adam Carolla Show. Adam's guest today, comedian Chad Daniels and musician Chase Rice. Plus the news with Alicia Krause. And now a man who talks like a mule kicks Adam Carolla.
- [02:27]
Adam Carolla
Yeah, get it on. Got to get it on. The choice we're gonna mandate to get it on. Thanks for tuning in. Thanks for telling a friend. Love that about you. Chad Daniels back in the studio. Chad's got dates. Comedy dates. September 26th, 27th American Comedy Co out in San Diego. That's a cool club. And Zany's another good club that's in Chicago. I think I was just there. I gotta figure that one out. Dates all over the place. Madison website, chaddaniels.com is where you go. If you don't know Chad. It's got a very funny special. Is that Netflix special? I'm trying to think where I saw your last special.
- [03:06]
Chad Daniels
Yeah, Empty Nester was on Netflix.
- [03:07]
Adam Carolla
Yeah. Filmed in Minnesota. Cool and strong, stand up and funny special. So you guys can check that out and go see him in person. Good to see you again, Chad.
- [03:18]
Chad Daniels
Yeah, likewise.
- [03:20]
Adam Carolla
So in Minnesota. From Minnesota, right?
- [03:23]
Chad Daniels
Yep. Never left.
- [03:25]
Adam Carolla
Never left. I like Minnesota. Minnesota's a weird place to me because it's getting real progressive. But as a kid it was always just Bud Grant and Paul Bunyan and ice fishing and Minnesota, the Hollywood version of Minnesota was not whatever the version of Minnesota is today.
- [03:51]
Chad Daniels
Yeah, it's progressive in areas, so it's.
- [03:53]
Adam Carolla
Like, it's real rural in some spots and real progressive.
- [03:57]
Chad Daniels
So I lived in Fergus Falls, which is up closer to Fargo, North Dakota. And I have a little lake cabin about 40 minutes from there in kind of the middle of Minnesota. And when Covid happened, I mean, it was a place where you could go and not know about it, right? Grocery stores, everything was stocked, no masks, all this stuff. And then you'd go to like Minneapolis to the airport, and it was a completely different place. But I think that's how it is everywhere, right? Big cities, Blue.
- [04:23]
Adam Carolla
Yeah, yeah. No, it is. We from la, we don't have a lot of time for nuance for other places, so we just go, Minnesota, there's Paul Bunyan, he's got his ox named Blue. And there's Bud Grant and at Fran Tarkington. And that's all an ice fishing and utter bomb. And that's all I got time for. And then you see Ilhan Omar and you go, what? No, that's not what I'm thinking. I'm thinking something else.
- [04:47]
Chad Daniels
Or you see Prince dancing. Yeah, that's not from there. No, that's not polka.
- [04:53]
Adam Carolla
No. But I've always thought it's weird when you. Like when I grew up out here. So I don't know anything about any place. If you would have. If you had told me when I was in high school, Cleveland was in Ohio, I'd go, get the fuck out of here. That's Buckeye State, man. They got a lot of farming and corn fed folk out there. It's not Cleveland.
- [05:13]
Chad Daniels
They don't start rivers on fire.
- [05:15]
Adam Carolla
Yeah, it's not Cleveland. Yeah, but we're very. And I guess, I kind of guess we're having to change our thoughts because in California you just assume nothing else really exists and everyone is sort of trying to come here is kind of the thought. So you go, why should I think? I guess growing up in California and in LA is like being a permanent senior in high school. And it's like, have you seen the ninth grade class? Like, who cares? I'm fucking senior. I'm like big man, a letterman jacket guy. What do I care?
- [05:55]
Chase Rice
About.
- [05:55]
Adam Carolla
Yeah, I don't know these kids.
- [05:56]
Chad Daniels
There's been a couple places I've been though, like Phoenix and Austin and the comedy there. All they talk about is how Californians, there's this huge exodus.
- [06:05]
Adam Carolla
Oh, yeah. No, we're. No, we're funny because we're like. I would describe, I always describe California as a hot blonde who turned 50 and never had to study, always had a date, always, always the bell of the ball invited to every party. And then at some point there's like crow's feet and a little gray hair and you put on a couple pounds, but you still kind of think you're that person.
- [06:34]
Chad Daniels
But now you're bartending for fun.
- [06:36]
Adam Carolla
Well, you know from doing your shows and being an attractive male that there's the formerly hot chick syndrome, where it's like, the chick's up front, she's like 56 now, but when she has a couple of cocktails, she thinks she's back in her bikini prime. She thinks she's in Cancun on spring break or something. And she is kind of approaching you after a couple of cocktails like she is that 19 year old, but the only version you know is the drunk 57 year old. And you're not into it, but a few drinks brings her back to 19 and also sort of thinks you should know what her pedigree is and she.
- [07:26]
Chad Daniels
Should get hooked up with the 57 year old man that still, when he sees a football at a tailgate, he goes, kid, throw it over here. And he's gonna think he's gonna throw it over a mountain like Uncle Rico.
- [07:37]
Adam Carolla
Right. But she thinks you're into her. Cause she knows who she is at noon on a Tuesday when she's sober. But this is Saturday night and she's drinking. Yeah. And now she's the loudest in the club. By far. The loudest are the formerly hot chicks.
- [07:55]
Chad Daniels
I will agree with that. If you have had drinks bought for you your whole life.
- [08:01]
Adam Carolla
Yes.
- [08:03]
Chad Daniels
They never tell you it's going to end.
- [08:05]
Adam Carolla
No. And you've never heard this phrase in your whole life. Hey, honey, shut up. We're talking over here. Yeah. Because it's always been. Oh, yeah. What else? I mean, you have to think about. If you're Mark Twain, people are gonna hang on every word. But if you're a hot blonde at 22, they'll hang harder than Mark Twain. They're like, mark, shut up. She's talking and she goes, you know how sometimes your cat thinks it's a person and you're like, Shut up, Mark. I wanna hear what she has to say. So your whole life people been fake listening to you Cause they wanna fuck you. So they're always like, you ever talk to hot blondes? Like, I used to have a hot blonde neighbor, real hot. Like, you know, she was like 26 and she was like. Would always tell me how nice everyone was, you know, like, she'd go, my gardener, he baked me a pie. I go, yeah, that's not. Gardeners don't do that. No, no, they do. No, they do for you. She was telling me one time she couldn't get on the plane because they pulled the gate or whatever, they closed the door. But the pilot, commercial, like sar through the glass, you know. You know when they pull right up to the thing and the pilot was like, yeah, you know, let me go get that door. And I was like, that's your version of life, right? But you don't know. Ugly version or dude version.
- [09:30]
Chad Daniels
Yeah. When I was in high school, I had good looking friends. And so we'd be out, the good looking friends would attract the women to the table and then I was the funny friend. So I would keep their attention and make them laugh and they'd still go home and fuck my good looking friends.
- [09:45]
Adam Carolla
Yeah, I had a good looking friend who was sort of with a dude. There's good looking and then there's something that transcends good looking where it's just magnetism. Like everyone, everyone loved it. All the chicks all the time. Like he would do stuff like go to a strip club, go to amateur night where the amateurs were dancing. Whoever won on amateur night, take her home and bang her. Like that's just walk into any strip club. Well, magnetism, okay? I mean, good looking meets some sort of pheromone or something. Like we're just shits. Like good looking is good. Like that'll get you laid. But good looking isn't. Like, you know, when you're 16, you're banging the mom and the daughter in your apartment building. You know what I mean? Like the mom and the teenage daughter. Like when you're 16, that's not just good looking, there's something else going on. But anyway, I remember we were best friends, so like we'd go out for breakfast and the waitress would come by. At some point, she'd like look at him and go, you want a refill on that coffee? And he'd go, yeah, I'll take a refill. Is that good? You want a little more? Some room for cream or something? No, it's Fine. And then she'd leave and I'd be sitting there with an empty coffee mug going, I know what just happened. She got sucked up in his tractor beam.
- [11:13]
Chad Daniels
Yeah. The pheromones went. Men in black, right?
- [11:16]
Adam Carolla
Or Ocean's Thirteen or whatever. The one where they.
- [11:20]
Chad Daniels
Oh yeah, Matt Damon has that scent.
- [11:24]
Adam Carolla
This is the problem with me. If I was on the set of almost any movie, I'd go, if there's such a thing as a scent that makes a guy with a huge nose irresistible to a hot blonde, we can pack up this operation right now. Because you understand we're gonna make billions with what's in this vial here. If this is ours, we're gonna sell this to Upjohn for $300 billion. We don't need to rob a vault. We got this magic spray.
- [11:53]
Chad Daniels
Also make this movie. Cuz movies are done, right? Cuz no one's going to the movie again. They're just all out fucking. So I was gonna say this hot blonde scenario, right? She gets older.
- [12:04]
Adam Carolla
Yeah, that's California. Sort of coasting like kind of going, come on, we got the beach and we got the mountains and people are going, we're going to Utah.
- [12:13]
Chad Daniels
Yeah.
- [12:13]
Adam Carolla
And we're going, why do you want to go with that hag? Look at us. And it's like, yeah, I'm looking at you 25 years ago, but that's not what we're looking at now.
- [12:21]
Chad Daniels
And I play a game in the summer, it's called the noun game. Where you put all these nouns into a bowl and there's three rounds. The first round, you pull it out and you can say as many words as you want and as many actions as you want. Then when that's done, you put all the words back in. And now you get three words and all the actions you want. And then the last round, it's only actions, no words. And so if you don't do something to let people know what the action for the word is, you're fucked in the third round.
- [12:48]
Adam Carolla
Right.
- [12:48]
Chad Daniels
And I think that's what happens to good looking people when they're young.
- [12:51]
Adam Carolla
They.
- [12:52]
Chad Daniels
They don't know that they also need to be building a personality.
- [12:56]
Adam Carolla
Yes.
- [12:57]
Chad Daniels
And so they get to this point where they go, I've been coasting on my looks, like you said. And they're like, well, how am I not getting attention now? And it's cause they didn't spend their 20s and 30s actually becoming a decent person. Yeah, I mean, some, but you know what I'm saying.
- [13:11]
Adam Carolla
Yeah. And there is a thing of a kind of a unintended consequence kind of thing. Like, I never learned to read, and so I never read any books. And so I never really ingested other people's ideas. I was always coming up with my own ideas, but it's because I couldn't read, essentially. But then it went from a kind of liability to a plus, because then I was able to come up with a lot of ideas and used to coming up with my own ideas. And then people would go, you got to read this. This guy's brilliant. You know, you should hear all his ideas. And I'd be like, I don't know how to read, but I got to come up my own ideas. And so there are things that, you know, start off as sort of liabilities and then end up paying off a little more like down. Down the road. There's a lot of that in the. In the. And there's a lot of that. There's a lot of, like, weird. You know, I spoke to an athlete once. It was a guy trying out for the Raiders, or he was on the Raiders. He picked up the ball. He was. I'll think of his name in a second. But he played in the NFL for 10 years, but I was fucking around with him. Speaking of Uncle Rico, he picked up a football and with his right hand just threw like, you know, rocket, like, you know, 40 yards. And then he put the ball in his left hand and he threw a fucking rocket, like, 40 yards. And by the way, when he got to the NFL, he played wide receiver. He didn't even play quarterback, but that's how good they were. But I said, who the hell can throw with both hands that way? And he goes, oh, man. When I was in. Of course in high school, these guys all played quarterback because they're the best athletes on the team. He goes, as a junior year, I broke my arm, my right arm. So I had to learn how to throw with my. It sounds bad, but now we can throw with both arms, is my point. Something bad, something good came out, came out of it.
- [15:14]
Chad Daniels
That Malcolm Gladwell book, David and Goliath.
- [15:17]
Adam Carolla
I haven't read it. It's previously stated.
- [15:20]
Chad Daniels
It's exactly what you're saying. Where it starts off as a problem and ends up being this thing like the doctor that cured children's leukemia or whatever it was. He was able to do that. Cause he was severely autistic and didn't care that parents were crying and shit like that.
- [15:38]
Adam Carolla
Yeah.
- [15:38]
Chad Daniels
So he'd go out and be like, hey, yeah, I'm gonna have to do this experiment on your kid. And they were weeping, begging me not to cause.
- [15:43]
Adam Carolla
No, we have to do it right.
- [15:44]
Chad Daniels
And so that becomes.
- [15:46]
Adam Carolla
Right. Yeah. If God. Think of his. Think of. I'm trying to think of Jerry. It wasn't Jerry Rice. It was the other Jerry. And I think he played for the Raiders like 20 years ago. Dawson will see it when he knows it. When he. Parker. Maybe it was Jerry Parker. I think it was Jerry Parker. Something like that. Okay. If John Popper, a blues traveler, was skinny and good looking, then we wouldn't have a virtuoso harmonica player.
- [16:23]
Chad Daniels
Yeah, exactly.
- [16:25]
Adam Carolla
The good looking skinny guys pretend to play harmonicas in the movie, but they can't do what John Popper does.
- [16:32]
Chad Daniels
Yeah, that's a good example.
- [16:33]
Adam Carolla
He had a lot of downtime as a youth. As a big fat kid riding a moped.
- [16:38]
Chad Daniels
What'd you do on Friday?
- [16:39]
Adam Carolla
I played the harmonica for 14 hours.
- [16:41]
Chad Daniels
Yeah, exactly.
- [16:42]
Adam Carolla
That's right. Then I beat off and then I played more harmonica. And that was Friday night for John Popper, who I love dearly, but he was a fat kid on a moped when he was in high school. That meant a lot of. Oh, Jerry Porter. Right. That meant a lot of harmonica practice. Yeah. Yeah. The thing about Jerry Porter is he was a more gifted athlete than Jerry Rice, but he didn't have the work ethic that Jerry Rice had. Sure. That was sort of the tale of two Jerrys. You had one who was a more gifted. You think, well, how do you get more gifted? He was more gifted physically. Faster, bigger, stronger, bigger hands. Like a crazed athlete. Could also do a thing that nobody. I go nuts on it. No one else cares. But you try it. He was such a crazed athlete. Jerry Porter at 6 2, 6, 3, 225 or something like a 4, 440 kind of guy. He. We've done it before. He would get knocked down in a football game and he was on his back. He would hold the ball with both hands at his chest and he would get up. He would get up by kicking his two feet next to him. His heels. His heels would be next to his hips. And then he would rise and full pads, helmet, shoulder pads. Fourth quarter. That's how he got up. Boom. And you go. You watch it. And you go. That seems weird. I don't. Can you. And then go. I go. Lay on the ground. Put your heels. Try to pull your heels next to your hips. And now just set up. You cannot touch the ground. You can't put your hands anywhere. Put your hands on your Chest and stand up on his back. Off of his back.
- [18:45]
Chad Daniels
Yeah. So you know when you, you're on your back, you kick your feet.
- [18:50]
Adam Carolla
You can find a clip of it.
- [18:51]
Chad Daniels
It's unbelievable.
- [18:52]
Adam Carolla
You watch Jerry Porter getting up at full pads. I mean, by the way, now I'm putting a helmet and shoulder pads on you. I'm adding extra 15 pounds to the ass.
- [19:01]
Chad Daniels
Especially then.
- [19:02]
Adam Carolla
Yeah, Pow. Right up.
- [19:03]
Chad Daniels
No chance.
- [19:03]
Adam Carolla
Crazed. I don't think people, no one said anything or saw it. I just would watch it and go, did you see that? And then bring me again. Just got up. I go, no, no. He made it look easy. He not a Chinese acrobat. He's a big dude.
- [19:20]
Chad Daniels
But anyway, it's like when a snake detaches their jaw to eat something bigger. It doesn't even make sense.
- [19:25]
Adam Carolla
Right, right. It is funny when snakes are like, I'm gonna eat that full size deer. And you're like, your mouth is four and a half inches wide and his ass is 14, inc. You're like, I'm going for it. Like I snake. The most confident creature in the world is the snake has to be. The snake has to be. Because the snake's like, I'm gonna go eat that alligator. And it's like, that alligator's twice as big as you. I'm gonna eat it. Like it is nuts. And they do it. I mean, they are the most, the most confident.
- [19:58]
Chad Daniels
And then they look like the alligator for a while until their body starts breaking it down. It's insane.
- [20:04]
Adam Carolla
It is insane. I don't know. We should be more respectful of snakes. You know what I mean? First things they do is they have no legs and they move at a good clip. I don't know any humans with no legs. I mean, maybe that Pistorius guy or something. But I mean, there's a few.
- [20:22]
Chad Daniels
He had spatula legs.
- [20:24]
Adam Carolla
Yes, he did. Yeah, he had spatula legs. You know, it's kind of funny sometimes you'll see somebody with the prosthetic legs and they'll go, they beat an able bodied guy. And you'll go, yeah, because maybe they have an advantage. Like fucking Steve Austin would whoop up on any able bodied guy. He had machinery in there.
- [20:43]
Chad Daniels
So I have a hip replacement.
- [20:45]
Adam Carolla
Oh, you did?
- [20:45]
Chad Daniels
And I got it young. And they said, if you can only have one more and then you gotta really take care of it. Cause that side, on that side. Cause there's not enough bone. And you see some of these guys running with that spatula leg and you go, yeah, I could do that by the time I need that, it's going to be even better.
- [21:01]
Adam Carolla
Hip replacement at what age?
- [21:03]
Chad Daniels
I probably was 42.
- [21:06]
Adam Carolla
Just a genetic thing.
- [21:07]
Chad Daniels
I think so. Yeah.
- [21:08]
Adam Carolla
Yeah.
- [21:10]
Chad Daniels
And I ran a lot, and I run like a Clydesdale. I ran a lot in my 20s.
- [21:13]
Adam Carolla
You did.
- [21:13]
Chad Daniels
You could hear me coming from a.
- [21:14]
Adam Carolla
Long list for exercise.
- [21:16]
Chad Daniels
Yeah, yeah.
- [21:17]
Adam Carolla
Let me theory. I got a theory. There's loud walkers and there's soft walkers. Like, there's quiet walkers. And people think it's about weight or heft or size or foot or arches or something. I think it's an attitude. I've started to keep track. I have twins. Son, daughter. Twins. My son is 200 pounds and my daughter's 125 pounds. But you can hear my daughter coming. But also my son you'll never hear. But also, once they're in the room, you'll hear them. And her voice is her walk. I mean, she's large and in charge, you know what I mean? And he's got opinions, and you're gonna know what those opinions are. You know, my son's a lot of like, you know, my son's the kind of guy where if you woke him up, he says sorry to you.
- [22:15]
Chad Daniels
You.
- [22:15]
Adam Carolla
Know what I mean? Like, you'd come in. Like sometimes I'd like, you know, come in his room and going, where's my back? And he's sleeping. I think he stayed home sick from school. I thought he was at school. So I went in his room at 10 in the morning, was looking for something, and I woke him up. And then he's the kind of guy who wakes up and goes, I go, oh, I didn't know you're sleeping. He'll go, sorry, sorry, and go back. My daughter would start screaming, get out of, you know, get out of her room. Or whatever, Right. But when you walk, you can hear it. And how. How they walk. All right, hold on. I'll let you noodle on that for a second. We got Jerry Porter getting up in a snow game with the Raiders. And again, it'll happen fast. And when it happens, you'll kind of go like, oh, okay, is that a real thing or what happened there? Both. Okay, now, he made it look easy and it happened fast, but show it again. He's on his back.
- [23:16]
Chad Daniels
Okay, here.
- [23:17]
Adam Carolla
He's got both hands on his chest. He throws his feet under him and steps up in full pads in the snow.
- [23:27]
Chad Daniels
Yeah. He brings his feet back and does a sit up at the same time.
- [23:30]
Adam Carolla
And does a sit up at the same time. And I'm saying, I tell everyone, you try it. There's no way you'll be on the ground. You'll be eaten by wolves, because you won't be able to get up. Or eventually you'll probably just get up. But it is. And he's full pads in his fourth quarter. He's a big dude. Or third quarter.
- [23:47]
Chad Daniels
Good Lord, that's athletic.
- [23:49]
Adam Carolla
Crazy athlete and crazy fast. All right, so loud. Walkers, what do you think?
- [23:55]
Chad Daniels
Well, my girlfriend is. Winter is coming in Minnesota, and that scares me because when she has boots on, I don't know if they're too big for her, but it is a fucking nightmare to go to the grocery store. Target. Cause it's just thump, thump, thump, thump, thump.
- [24:10]
Adam Carolla
Right, right, right.
- [24:11]
Chad Daniels
And I called her on it, and I was like, hey, is there any chance, like, you could pick your feet up or something? Because everyone's looking at us.
- [24:17]
Adam Carolla
Right, right.
- [24:18]
Chad Daniels
And she goes, I don't do that. And then I go, maybe it's just in boots. And then my mom. I was talking to my mom on the phone, and my girlfriend was walking across the hallway, and my mom goes. Just on the phone, she goes, oh, Kelsey's home.
- [24:29]
Adam Carolla
Right.
- [24:29]
Chad Daniels
So it is every. It's without. Without shoes and everything. But she's not a big. Throw my opinion out. When she gets in the room. I think she just wants people to know she's. She's coming to the room.
- [24:41]
Adam Carolla
Yeah. I started to sync it up with the personality, and I was trying to affect some change. Like I was trying to get them to walk quieter. And then I realized, oh, no, I like it. I mean, it's good. It gives you a heads up.
- [25:00]
Chad Daniels
Yeah, I understand.
- [25:00]
Adam Carolla
Good. Not at the supermarket, but at home.
- [25:03]
Chad Daniels
Yeah, at home.
- [25:03]
Adam Carolla
Coming down the hall, I'm a big.
- [25:05]
Chad Daniels
Pick your feet up in public person.
- [25:07]
Adam Carolla
I realized that I walk in an attempt not to stir anybody around me. I try to slip out of rooms and sort of quietly, whatever. What I have realized is that my walking is connected to my emotional state. And my default setting is trying to, like, I'll put it to you. All right, here's an interesting test for everybody. Everyone can sort of play this at home. How are you when other people are sleeping and you've got to get up and get out? Right. And there's an interesting thing. For instance, my bedroom door has a lock on it, which would be a privacy lock. So there's deadbolts. That's like front door. And then there's passage knobs, which is just hallway, you know? And then there's Bathroom privacy. Push the button in. Now it's got a handle and you push the button in. I tend to lock it at night and it's a habit I've always been in, which is like, I read way too many stories of like the woman wakes up, the guy standing at the foot of the bed with the machete. I'm like, you know, just lock. Just put a privacy lock on your bedroom door. Or the kids barged in when you were getting a blowjob or something like that.
- [26:40]
Chad Daniels
Playing harmonica beaten off.
- [26:42]
Adam Carolla
That's right. Just your thumb. You just lock it and people kind of go like, why are you locking your bed? I don't know. Could it hurt? Couldn't. Maybe someone breaks in and you, oh, they're downstairs, the door's locked good, I'll call the cops or whatever.
- [26:56]
Chad Daniels
And why are you asking about me locking my door? What were your plans?
- [26:59]
Adam Carolla
Good point.
- [27:00]
Chad Daniels
Yeah, thanks.
- [27:01]
Adam Carolla
So I realized that when I get up in the morning and the doors lock and my girlfriend's asleep, I put my thumb on the button. Because if you just turn the handle, it goes pop. Put your thumb on it and turn it slowly, it'll go into your thumb and you can quietly kind of release it. You know, it's door handle awareness. Like bathroom door. Like lots of clicking and latching and stuff. Turning and whatever. So that's how you are.
- [27:30]
Chad Daniels
Yeah.
- [27:30]
Adam Carolla
And then there's other people have zero. They just get up and they just start, you know, they check stuff on their phone and they shut the door. Like you'll hear the door like, ka Chunk. And you're like, are you angrily shutting the bathroom door? You just shut it. Like, why wouldn't you?
- [27:45]
Chad Daniels
We have double doors. And so when I come to bed late or get up early, I will. Like when I'm shutting the door, I'll put my fingers, half my hand on one of the doors.
- [27:54]
Adam Carolla
Yes.
- [27:55]
Chad Daniels
So I know when the second one's getting there. And I can gently like docking like the space station.
- [28:00]
Adam Carolla
We would make a fantastic gay couple. I think so too, you and I. First off, I would just sleep. I would do nothing but sleep. Where's Chad? God, I don't know what time it's two in the afternoon. Geez, he had a 6am flight. I didn't even know he was gone. Exactly.
- [28:16]
Chad Daniels
I'm like a fucking ninja getting out of there.
- [28:17]
Adam Carolla
Ninja fucking sliding out of there.
- [28:19]
Chad Daniels
And then my girlfriend takes a full swing at it. Just lets the other door catch the first door and they both rattle. It's unbelievable.
- [28:29]
Adam Carolla
But what is that what is that thing? Because it's not that she's bad and you're good, per se, but there's some.
- [28:40]
Chad Daniels
Oh, I know what it is.
- [28:41]
Adam Carolla
Oh, you know where it manifests itself?
- [28:43]
Chad Daniels
I know exactly what it is.
- [28:45]
Adam Carolla
Tell me.
- [28:45]
Chad Daniels
It's. She wants to spend time with me in the morning before we get going.
- [28:50]
Adam Carolla
Oh, this is deliberate.
- [28:51]
Chad Daniels
And I need a little time before my morning starts. Just by myself. Cup of coffee, petting the dog, looking outside at the sun.
- [29:00]
Adam Carolla
Yeah, yeah. Cause I think I. I think women, while they are more nurturing, have a blind spot in their game. Such as the door closing, the chunk and the banging. Like, I'll just say, like, sometimes I'll go, are you trying. Are you just, like, trying to wake me up? Like, what is going on? I was just checking my phone. You. It's like, yeah, but it's so. It's on 10. It's as loud as you can. Well, I don't know. I'll tell you where it manifests itself with women more than men. And this is a real window parking. There will park. Like, women will park in the driveway and not leave room on one side or the other. Like, you'll go, you gotta move to the side. So I can. And they'll go, yeah, I am. Isn't like, wasn't thinking about it or something. Which they're not. I'll have people sort of park and not pull up so you can't get in. You know, they don't leave room and stuff like that. And it seems more prevalent with women than men, I feel. Maybe it's a spatial thing.
- [30:11]
Chad Daniels
Yeah, maybe they don't want to park too close to the wall.
- [30:15]
Adam Carolla
It's a kind of. I find it where I just go, look, if you're gonna sort of park in the middle, I can't park to the right or the left. And they go, oh, O. But like, for me, acutely aware, like, no way. Just if they were out and coming home, it'd be like, well, where are they gonna park?
- [30:28]
Chad Daniels
Yeah, I was at a grocery store, and a woman pulled up to drop somebody off and then just kept her car there. And it was right in front of the doors, and I was already in the crosswalk. And then all my friends got pissed off at me. Cause I kept walking into her car like someone had dropped a remote at a video game. I just kept walking and backing up. And she's like, what the fuck are you doing? I go, well, what are you parked here for? Yeah, so I don't know what that is. I'M sure guys do it. I mean, you want to talk about my issues? Can you back up a trailer?
- [30:57]
Adam Carolla
No.
- [30:58]
Chad Daniels
Oh, my God. I would rather pull it into a parking spot, take the trailer off, and walk it down into the water to get my shit out of there.
- [31:04]
Adam Carolla
It is a sad. It is a sad. I am not proud to say that a guy in me who owns a dually with like a full tote package on it and you passed a race trailer on your way into this building. And I'm the owner of multiple trailers and have hauling trucks and everything. Couldn't back up four fucking feet without fucking it up.
- [31:31]
Chad Daniels
No chance.
- [31:32]
Adam Carolla
I become like Tom Cruise dyslexic when I start turning the wheel. Whatever my impulse is about turning the wheel, it starts doing the opposite of what I want every single time.
- [31:42]
Chad Daniels
It's like giving your haircut in the mirror. Giving yourself a haircut in the mirror.
- [31:45]
Adam Carolla
Yes. But I work with guys who can do it. No one in this building. But I mean, like, work with dudes who do it. It's an interesting concept because you would say, back the trailer up into the water, and I would say, back it up on the racetrack, you know? Cause I'm from here and you're from there. But I can't back it up five feet. And I'm like, I'm embarrassed by that. As a dude with tools, as a dude with race cars, as a dude who drives the race cars and fixes the race cars. Can't go an inch with a stupid trailer.
- [32:16]
Chad Daniels
If there's a line at the public access, I'm doing my shit tomorrow. There's no way I'm gonna have other men watch me try to back this trailer.
- [32:25]
Adam Carolla
Oh, yeah.
- [32:26]
Chad Daniels
I mean, at one point, I would rather just throw the keys to somebody and go, hey, you wanna do this right? I'll give you 20 bucks.
- [32:32]
Adam Carolla
Right? Weird. But I wonder how that manifests itself. Like, in what other facets of life that manifests itself?
- [32:41]
Chad Daniels
Yeah, because I don't really panic much. I'm not a panicky guy. But in that situation, I cannot stand it. And I don't know if it's a feeling of. I don't think the other guys are gonna judge. You know, you're gonna laugh.
- [32:53]
Adam Carolla
But it's hard to miss. I mean, and there's no really getting around it. You don't know how to back up a trailer. There's just no other excuse. No one can ever. No one goes, well, he's probably getting a blow job from a super hot chick and he's Distracted, they just go, that fucking guy doesn't know how to back up a trailer.
- [33:10]
Chad Daniels
And my daughter's in the car and she goes, want me to get out of the car and help? Back I go, get in the fucking car.
- [33:15]
Adam Carolla
We're leaving.
- [33:16]
Chad Daniels
I just pull right out.
- [33:18]
Adam Carolla
All right, let's see other stuff. I had this thought today. I was watching, I don't know why, someone tweeted me a drag queen, but the guy was dancing and it was like, what the hell's going on here? Whatever. It was like a middle aged guy dancing and I was in lip syncing and stuff. And I thought to myself, I can never figure out the attraction, the parts of life that I'm not gay or lesbian or transsexual or something. Cross dress, whatever. I can't figure it out, but I don't really care about it. But the drag queen on display feels very counterintuitive to me because it feels like a lot of work. And first off, the makeup and the hair, everything feels like way too much work for me. But I'll show you this. And then I just had this thought and I don't know if it makes sense or, or not, but it's a person dancing. I guess we have it. We could hit play, maybe. I don't know where they are.
- [34:34]
Chad Daniels
They look like they're in church pews. I have a feeling they're not.
- [34:37]
Adam Carolla
Oh, it could be like city council type. It looks official. It looks like it could be a city council meeting or it could be a, you know, it could be a school setting. I don't know, people look old. There's a poor 70 year old guy, front row. This is a blue haired, blue sequence unitard, kind of middle aged, heavy, heavily heavy set guy, just lip syncing and dancing. All right, I don't know where this is, but that's not my commentary. But I would be curious where it is. But also I, you know, here's my thing. Without sounding like an uptight old dude, I can watch somebody juggle and go, well, I can't do shit. That's, that's fun. I mean, I can't do that. You know, once in a while, halftime of the NBA game and you got the Chinese chick on the extended unicycle and she's kicking bulls up. Red panda, red panda. And it's landing on her head and you go, well, someone could go, well, you like that? But what about someone who likes this? Well, fucking anyone can do this. Anybody. Everyone is like four tall boys away. And a good dare from this you know what I mean? Like the red Panda thing. I would argue that's not my form of entertainment. That is entertainment. Entertainment by nature really is shit you can't do. Right. You know, like when you watch a comedian and the guy's like, you're funnier than that guy is. You know what I mean? So then you sit there and you go, it's okay. But when you watch a comedian and you think, that guy's funnier than me, you go, that guy's really fucking good. Right? And most people enjoy comedy because they go, I could never go up there alone and do it. And so you got that working for you when you do it. But if somebody's doing a form of entertainment that anyone could do.
- [36:38]
Chad Daniels
Yeah.
- [36:38]
Adam Carolla
Then it's not entertaining.
- [36:40]
Chad Daniels
Now, I don't think I could dj. I'm gonna say that right now. I don't think I could dj. But I do think it is a similar situation. Drag shows and dj. I'll tell you why. Because I went to, I don't know, Alabama Shores or something like that for a big DJ fest. And I thought it was gonna suck because they're just playing other people's music.
- [37:01]
Adam Carolla
You went there to perform?
- [37:02]
Chad Daniels
No, I just went there to be in the crowd. And I thought, like, I don't know if I'm gonna like this. I went to.
- [37:07]
Adam Carolla
Somebody dragged you there?
- [37:08]
Chad Daniels
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I went to a drag show.
- [37:10]
Adam Carolla
Well, you act like you went, well, sure, sure. You were dragged.
- [37:13]
Chad Daniels
I was chasing.
- [37:14]
Adam Carolla
Well, maybe they call it drag show because you have to drag the audience in. I never thought about it, but I do.
- [37:19]
Chad Daniels
I felt in both situations, I felt like it wasn't what I was watching, it was the energy of the crowd that got me right into it both times. I will tell you, at that drag show, I was fucking into it. And I think I was into it. Cause it's like, it's popular music and then the crowd is really.
- [37:39]
Adam Carolla
Well, I guess there's good drag shows and there's amateur hour drag shows. Sure. Now this feels more like amateur hour to me.
- [37:46]
Chad Daniels
I would say that too. Yeah.
- [37:47]
Adam Carolla
But I started to realize as I was. But I was trying to dive. Do we know where this is from? I was trying to dive into the dynamic of it. Yeah.
- [37:59]
Chad Daniels
There's words up on the screen. I couldn't see what they said, but.
- [38:02]
Adam Carolla
So I'm watching this thing and it's a middle aged guy, heavy, thick, and.
- [38:08]
Chad Daniels
Sort of high school linebacker.
- [38:09]
Adam Carolla
Clumsily. Yeah, yeah. Our junior JC for the smaller school. Clumsily. Moving Clumsily moving through a dancer scene and lip syncing. And then I was like, well, what motivates this person? You know, I get what motivates Red Panda. No one else can do it. You know what I mean? And I get what motivates a stand up or violinist. But what about this? And then I thought to myself, wait a minute. When I was a kid and I would say all kids, maybe especially girls, but maybe all kids, the first thing you do is you lip sync. Like that is your first expression of entertainment. Like I could remember, you know, lips. And you learn the words to a song when you're six and you hold up a brush.
- [39:00]
Chad Daniels
Yeah.
- [39:01]
Adam Carolla
And then sometimes you put a costume on and then that is like very early. And then at some point you sort of grow out of it. And maybe you get into prank calls or something like that. Like later on or you learn, you get a rock band or whatever, you learn to play an instrument or something. But at the beginning, kids lip sync, like dance, lip sync outfit. When your daughter wanted to entertain you when she was sick, she'd put a wig or hat on or something, grab a brush and do a Taylor Swift song like that. And then I realized maybe that's what this is. Maybe it's that early, early impulse that just kind of got locked in and carried on. Sometimes guys get it with their sexuality. Like they'll. The guys with the foot fetishes will go. Like when I was little, I used to look at my mom's feet in the kitchen, you know, while I was. And she was feeding me, you know, and I just stare at her feet and she made me a great sandwich. And now, now I'm 45 and I'm in. Yeah, Like I'm locked in.
- [40:03]
Chad Daniels
Or maybe it's the opposite. Maybe they weren't allowed to express themselves that way in their house. And so like a child star, you know how they actually Michael Jackson turned out to be a kid as an adult and. Or like for me, shoes, my parents couldn't afford the Jordans and shit like that. So now I have a problem with that. Yeah, I have shoes that I've never worn and that's unacceptable.
- [40:29]
Adam Carolla
Yeah, I had the same thing. Like I always wanted tools. And we never had a garage. We never had any tools. So now I kill prostitutes.
- [40:39]
Chad Daniels
Oh, okay. I didn't know.
- [40:40]
Adam Carolla
I thought I was going to say something about buying tools, but it scrambled me. We're both equally scrambled.
- [40:45]
Chad Daniels
You have a garage to bury.
- [40:47]
Adam Carolla
The sign in the back is in German. It's no smoking in German. So evidently this is German. The legs do look, I mean, they seem like a stouter people over there, so maybe. But this may be from Germany. And I don't know what's on the sign behind them, but is that things written in German? I guess would be bullet points would be it. Yeah. So O'Reilly Auto Parts. Yeah.

- [43:07]
Adam Carolla
Experian oh, here's something that I thought was interesting that somebody, Mike August, a guy I work with, brought up and I never heard anyone bring up this angle. And I thought this is kind of interesting, which was the whole kerfuffle with Jimmy and nexstar and Sinclair and affiliates. And did they drop him and then ABC or did the FCC get involved? They put their finger on the scale. Did Trump tell the fcc? So there's lots of there's three arguments. Basically, there's Trump told those people to do it the fcc. And then there's Trump didn't tell them to do it, but they know which way the wind is blowing and they want to do a big merger, so they're gonna sort of preemptively do it. And then there's Trump did nothing and they did nothing. The Sinclair guys and the nexstar guys are conservative guys. They didn't like all the Trump bashing, and so they just dropped. And once the affiliates drop, there's trouble. Sure. And they're all sort of plausible. I mean, Trump's not gonna leave a paper trail of going, I called or I sent an email or whatever. I don't think Trump did it. But the second two of maybe they did it because they knew which way the wind was blowing and there was a merger coming up and. Or your affiliates are legitimately conservative and they just had enough of this talk. So everyone's kind of going, yeah, I don't know. And it can be elements of all of two or three in there. So you never really get to the truth because it's sort of like, why'd you guys get divorced? Well, it's like there was some of this and there was a little bit of that. And there was a thing.
- [45:06]
Chad Daniels
The kids get one story, the friends get one story.
- [45:09]
Adam Carolla
Right. And then they can go, well, what about when he did this? And they go, well, that was the straw that broke the camel's back. But there was things leading into that. Everything's sort of accumulation of things. But as Mike August brought up, and I don't think anyone else has brought this up that I'm aware of, nexstar and Sinclair, the syndicators, they own tons and tons of stations and they don't just own ABC stations, they own all stations, okay? And they own a shitload of CBS stations and CBS has a late night show host. And he talks more shit about Trump probably than Kimmel. Like, I don't Colbert, Kimmel, I don't know. But Colbert pretty much, that's his living for the last several years. And I said, well, let's check on it. So they own Sinclair, Neckstar, own 70 ABC affiliates, but they own 63. CBS with Colbert, but didn't pull the plug on Colbert, which is kind of interesting.
- [46:36]
Chad Daniels
But didn't he get fired?
- [46:38]
Adam Carolla
He did get fired, but he's not going off the air for many months. I don't know when is his heart out. He has six or seven, but he's gonna spend the next six months bashing Trump. Right. So if Sinclair was saying, look, we're not gonna listen to anybody make fun of our President because we voted for him and we're conservative. Then it does make sense for them to drop Colbert as well. May 2026. I mean, he's got. That's a lot of Trump bashing episodes ahead. So I don't know, I'm not sure exactly what it means. But it is interesting that they own a lot of CBS affiliates as well.
- [47:31]
Chad Daniels
Yeah, I mean, I don't, I hate to be the guest today because I don't know enough about this shit to even. It would be a guess and I think we got enough of those.
- [47:39]
Adam Carolla
Yeah, well, also, I think probably maybe you kept yourself intentionally, you know, off the grid a little bit. I mean, living. Living where you live and living how you live.
- [47:55]
Chad Daniels
Yeah, I think so. You know, it's like somebody would be like, hey man, do you know this comedian? And I go, no disrespect, but I don't. Yeah, that's only because I also, I don't watch a ton of comedy because I don't want it to sneak into my head. And then all of a sudden I'm on stage riffing something and I. Yeah, something I heard or whatever, you know, whatever it is. So, yeah, I just kind of like.
- [48:14]
Adam Carolla
Being away from it, you know, I think I've. I was curious why you would go to the DJ concerts and why you would go to the drag queen concerts or events, shows. And I think I know what it is now, okay? Nobody. And this is an exclusive audience. There's not one person who attends either one of those events who can back up a trailer zero. Now, you go to a bass fishing competition, you're going to get shamed big time.
- [48:48]
Chad Daniels
No question.
- [48:49]
Adam Carolla
You know what I mean? You want to start hanging around with long haul truckers or guys like that, it's not going to be good for you, Chad. But you go to the Drag queen show, that's your family.
- [49:00]
Chad Daniels
You know what I've noticed there? It's just a roundabout.
- [49:03]
Adam Carolla
Yeah.
- [49:03]
Chad Daniels
So when they have trailers, you pull in and you just pull out straight away.
- [49:07]
Adam Carolla
They have to.
- [49:08]
Chad Daniels
Yeah.
- [49:11]
Adam Carolla
If you were looking for company, like if you didn't want to be judged in your trail, your trailer backing ability, that would be a place.
- [49:20]
Chad Daniels
You know, I didn't even know that I had made a list in my head. This is enlightening.
- [49:25]
Adam Carolla
You're creating safe spaces, judgment free zones for you to go with like minded folks who can't back up trailers.
- [49:35]
Chad Daniels
Oh, shit. I've been doing it my whole life. People go, why don't you move to LA and New York, and I go, oh. Cause I have to raise these kids.
- [49:41]
Adam Carolla
But really.
- [49:41]
Chad Daniels
Cause it's harder than hell, right? You know, So I use my kids as an excuse, stayed home, did all that, and now I'm. That's an interesting take. Where else would I go? It's sort of what other groups can't back up trailers.
- [49:54]
Adam Carolla
Well, you got one and two right there. Yeah, right?
- [49:59]
Chad Daniels
Yeah. The other ones are gonna be like. When there's three and four on Family Feud and they each have three.
- [50:04]
Adam Carolla
Yeah. Maybe like a Lilith Fair type summer female. There are some lesbian truckers.
- [50:11]
Chad Daniels
I was just gonna say, I've seen Subarus back up a trailer.
- [50:14]
Adam Carolla
Really? Yeah. Maybe not. Maybe not too high. Taylor Swift is good because I don't think the girls are gonna back it up. And their dad's there trading bracelets. Could you imagine that? Can you imagine that pitch when you're a young kid? Like, I like, hey, dad, the Bay City Rollers are in town. Yeah. Here's what I want. I want you to go to the. Buy all the tickets, make bracelets, come to the concert with me, and then trade bracelets with other people. Are you fucking high? I'll be in the parking lot smoking. I'm not going in that place. If you even get that, your dad would have never gone to a Taylor Swift concert and made bracelets and swapped with other dads.
- [50:58]
Chad Daniels
My dad might have made bracelets and sold them and told them that they were real gold.
- [51:03]
Adam Carolla
Oh, yeah. Your dad was a kind of a grifter, right?
- [51:06]
Chad Daniels
A little con artisty? Yep.
- [51:08]
Adam Carolla
Yeah. What is that? Does that. Is that why you're the Quiet Walker?
- [51:15]
Chad Daniels
Yeah, maybe. I mean, I snuck into his room when he was hungover and always would steal cash out of his pockets because he didn't know how much he spent.
- [51:24]
Adam Carolla
Oh, out of his pocket. Yeah.
- [51:25]
Chad Daniels
And I'd go buy baseball cards with it.
- [51:27]
Adam Carolla
Oh, so he would pass out.
- [51:30]
Chad Daniels
Yeah, he'd just be hungover. Sleeping in.
- [51:32]
Adam Carolla
Yeah, but sleeping in his pants.
- [51:34]
Chad Daniels
No, no, no, no.
- [51:35]
Adam Carolla
Pants on the floor. Sorry. Pants on the floor. Pants on the floor. Sneaking in. And you knew he was out drinking, right?
- [51:43]
Chad Daniels
Of course.
- [51:43]
Adam Carolla
Yeah. So he could, you know, in his world, he could think he had 60 bucks in there and have 20 bucks in there.
- [51:50]
Chad Daniels
There was a 10 minute window from when my mom went to work to when the bus came. And that was when I made a lot of money.
- [51:57]
Adam Carolla
I want to hear that story. And now, my dad didn't drink, but he didn't have cash in his pocket. Either. So I was at zero. But dad wasn't drinking.
- [52:08]
Chad Daniels
Well, I knew all the. He was a big gambler. I mean, I had a guy when I was in sixth grade, my dad called me downstairs and he goes, hey, you got to watch this video of this guy. I'm going to manage him. He was a comedian.
- [52:21]
Adam Carolla
Hold on. Comic Con.
- [52:23]
Chad Daniels
Comic Con.

Adam Carolla
Not a lot of trailer backers over there. Sorry, go ahead. Well, when you're dressed, you know, dressed like Darth Vader, you can't really.
- [52:32]
Chad Daniels
That's true.
- [52:32]
Adam Carolla
Check the rear.
- [52:33]
Chad Daniels
Yeah.
- [52:34]
Adam Carolla
So comedian.
- [52:36]
Chad Daniels
Yeah. And this guy would put a bucket on his head to close, and he did Darth Vader. Bringing it back. It's like you knew what I was going to talk about. So cut to, I'm a couple years into my career and this guy is opening for me. And I go, hey, man, you're not gonna believe this, but when I was in sixth grade and I didn't know how horrible this story sounded to him. Cause he was opening for me.
- [52:59]
Adam Carolla
Right. Cause you're in sixth grade.
- [53:01]
Chad Daniels
Yeah. So then he didn't talk to me for a while. But at the end of the week, he goes, let me tell you some stories about your dad. And my dad used to on payday, he would give people 10 to 1 odds at the bar if there were flies, and they would bet on which fly would land first.
- [53:17]
Adam Carolla
Really?
- [53:17]
Chad Daniels
Yeah. So I knew that there was always cash, at least a little bit in his pockets. And I knew that, you know, a lot of times he had no clue how much it was. So I'd go in, clean him out. But he also, like, we stole from each other, to be fair. Like, I had a paper route, saving money for a skateboard. Went down to look in my lunchbox under my bed to buy my skateboard, no cash. So it was like a give and take.
- [53:42]
Adam Carolla
Is your dad still alive?
- [53:43]
Chad Daniels
I don't think so.
- [53:44]
Adam Carolla
You don't think so, but you can't be for certain. Right.
- [53:48]
Chad Daniels
But my sister and I agreed to tell everybody he's dead. Cause it's easier.
- [53:53]
Adam Carolla
Is it just addiction with a guy like that, or is it a narcissism and an addiction?
- [54:00]
Chad Daniels
No. Cause everybody that knew him before said he was like the greatest guy. And I think it just gets you.
- [54:06]
Adam Carolla
Right. Drugs. Knew him before drugs and alcohol.
- [54:08]
Chad Daniels
Drugs, alcohol, gambling. I mean, once you're chasing your losses and you're trying to self medicate for that shit, you're done.
- [54:20]
Adam Carolla
And what he do for work?
- [54:22]
Chad Daniels
Liquor salesman. I know.
- [54:24]
Adam Carolla
That's right. I know.
- [54:25]
Chad Daniels
Yeah.
- [54:28]
Adam Carolla
And When's the last time you guys spoke?
- [54:30]
Chad Daniels
I saw him when My son was 2. My son's 26 now.
- [54:35]
Adam Carolla
Okay, so 24 years. And so he did not. He was not able to see your success as a standard?
- [54:44]
Chad Daniels
Well, I don't think so. I think so. Here's why I really think he's dead, because I think he would have called me for money by now. Yeah, because people don't realize when you're on TV, it's union. Right, right. It was like 700 bucks to do the Tonight show or something.
- [54:58]
Adam Carolla
Right.
- [54:58]
Chad Daniels
And so. But they see you on there and they go, oh, my God, yeah, let's call him for money. So I think my dad would have called me.
- [55:05]
Adam Carolla
I mean, I'll do you one worse. I get accused all the time where they go, oh, you're just up there on Fox doing Tucker Carlson's talking points and hammering checks. And I'm like, you don't get paid anything when you do those shows. You know, there's a union sort of, I don't know, abc, NBC, probably licensee, FCC thing or something. There's some sort of scale union. You have to get paid. But you go on cable shows, there's no paycheck, there's no talking points, and there isn't any paycheck. So it's kind of over, too. But it's funny when people follow up, the first point they got wrong or the second point they get wrong. But yes, laypeople see people on TV and think they get paid. I once got really screwed over in Canada by customs because they got hold of my itinerary. And it was this station, that station and this station and that show and this show and that show. And they're like, you're not here for work. And I was like, well, I don't get. I'm not getting paid. You know, they're worried about you getting paid. You know, I go, there's no pay, no pay. Look at all this. Look at all this. And I start thinking, like, I spit on myself. I started thinking like them. I was like, yeah, you know what? You're right. I should fucking get paid. But it's all radio, tv, like, promotion. You're not getting paid. Right.
- [56:32]
Chad Daniels
And in Canada, it's like, this is why you don't have to pay for medical bills to come up here and do this.
- [56:36]
Adam Carolla
We take this. So it is funny. The only person in podcasts, it's kind of interesting, but the only person that's ever said anything was Caitlyn Jenner, who, like, I'M friendly with a little bit who wanted to come on the show. And she was like, what's the pay? I'm like, there's no pay. You just plug whatever you got.
- [57:01]
Chad Daniels
There's no pay.
- [57:03]
Adam Carolla
Oh, shit. I thought you got. You didn't read it?
- [57:06]
Chad Daniels
Unbelievable.
- [57:07]
Adam Carolla
So your dad. Dad. I don't know, is it. How much trauma is involved with. So I didn't have good times or bad times dad. I just had no times dad. And you had dad, who, like I said, he was an alcoholic and he was a grifter, but there was cash in his pocket. At least you got some cash. My dad didn't have any cash, so it was sort of no time for me, you know? And I imagine there was times where he hit it big and came home with a Cadillac or something. I mean, was there any form of like, we're going out tonight?
- [57:51]
Chad Daniels
Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it was that. So on Friday night, my sister and I knew if he brought crab legs home, it was gonna be the best Friday. If he brought chicken chow mein in a can.
- [58:01]
Adam Carolla
Right.
- [58:02]
Chad Daniels
Go downstairs. There's about to be an argument.
- [58:04]
Adam Carolla
Right. So crab legs meant he'd done well at the track or where have you on a. Just the bar parlay. At the bar. Yeah. And we're eating. And we're eating crab legs, so that's interesting. So would you rather have highs and lows or sort of flatline?
- [58:24]
Chad Daniels
Well, this is a huge politician answer, I think. But this is the truth. I love my life so much right now that I would not change one second of it. Cause you always see those movies where they go back and change the timeline and then they get back to where they were and it sucks. I wouldn't change anything. I mean, I had a great life and. Yeah, I would not. The highs and lows were fun, for sure.
- [58:50]
Adam Carolla
And you believe it's not the butterfly effect, it's the chain effect or the whatever effect or whatever. You go back and you screw with the past and now. Or maybe it is the butterfly effect, and somehow you would not be who you were.
- [59:04]
Chad Daniels
I think so.
- [59:06]
Adam Carolla
Yeah, I guess. I. I was doing a podcast earlier today. I think it was this old house. It was some sort of. Yeah, I was doing this old house. And they were talking about going back and building your dad's old house later on, after he became a celebrity and bought the house. And I took my crew and I rebuilt was a TV show I did years ago. People like it and they were talking about it and they said, did you have any thoughts about going Back and the old house and living there and all that, Stu. And I said, well, I did have a moment. I'm not sentimental, but I had a moment where I was standing on top of my old garage I lived in. And I looked across into the neighbor's pool and I had a flashback of me living in that garage at 19, sweltering during the summer. Cause there was no air conditioning in the garage and working construction in the mornings. And I would get up at 6 and somewhere around 3am I couldn't take any more sweating in my cot. So I would get up, walk into the backyard and there was a big block wall, pretty six and a half, seven foot high. It was a full size block wall. And I'd climb over it and I would go to the neighbor's pool and I would lower myself into it with holding onto the diving board.
- [60:29]
Chad Daniels
Quietly.
- [60:30]
Adam Carolla
As quietly as I. I knew it.
- [60:32]
Chad Daniels
Good for you.
- [60:32]
Adam Carolla
Quietly as quiet, Walker.
- [60:34]
Chad Daniels
Yeah, I knew it.
- [60:34]
Adam Carolla
Quietly as I could. And I would hold myself underwater for as long as I could to get my core like down. And then quietly out of the pool. Over the fence was all naked by the way. It was three in the morning and it was still, you know, it was totally still. And I could hear the water was loud, like trying to get out of it. It's real frogman shit. And over the top. And they had a dog too. But I was so fucking hot I didn't know what to do. And I'd climb over and I was recounting that story with him and I was thinking, yeah, I'm glad I did that. Cause it sounds fucking miserable. And it was. But it really makes me appreciate air conditioning for sure. Yeah, really appreciate air.
- [61:20]
Chad Daniels
I was working in Albuquerque one time and the swamp cooler was broken. You remember when you had to stay in the condos? Yeah, the swamp cooler's broken, so it's hot as shit in there. And we had to freeze bed sheets during the day. And then when you'd wake up from the heat at like 7 in the morning, you'd go get the bed sheet and unfold and sleep under a frozen bed sheet for like another hour till you were hot again. It was unbelievable.
- [61:43]
Adam Carolla
I love poor people hot beat the heat stories. Like I'm gonna do a podcast where I just talked. Dr. Drew would tell me he wasn't poor, but in his first dorm room or wherever when he went off to Amherst and college, they had an air conditioner, but it was just in the window and everyone else was in the bedroom over here in the bedroom and it would be sweltering at night that the one, you know. And they built like a series of tents and shafts, you know, to get the air. To kind of get the air into the bedroom, you know, like hanging sheets and putting a coat hanger and making essentially a ducting system out of plastic and sheets. And I just. I love poor people. Innovation.
- [62:25]
Chad Daniels
Yeah. We took a Styrofoam cooler, flipped the lid, poked holes in it, and then put a block of ice on it with a fan towards us. This is at the same place, Alberti. And then it would melt, and then we'd refreeze the water and we'd have a system where we'd always have ice on top of the cooler with a fan blowing the ice at us. Because it was brutal.
- [62:44]
Adam Carolla
I know. And my fucking kids grew up in a house that had six different zones. Yeah. But they're not going to be as funny as us, right, Chad?
- [62:52]
Chad Daniels
Yeah, that's right.
- [62:54]
Adam Carolla
All right, the plugs on the tour, American Comedy. Co that's in San Diego. Cool club there. Zany's another good place in Chicago. And then comedy on State, Wisconsin, Madison, all coming up. Go to chaddaniels.com and watch the. Watch the special as well. It's very funny on Netflix. Chad, great to talk to you and get caught up with you, man.
- [63:17]
Chad Daniels
Thanks. Thanks for having me. Good to see you.
- [63:19]
Adam Carolla
Good to see you. We take a break. Back with, I think, Alicia Krause News, right after this. Select Quote. All right, time for some life talk. Life insurance talk, that is. You probably already have some kind of policy, but do you know how much you're paying or what you're really covered for? Odds are you're paying too much for too little coverage. And here's the scary part. If your policy is only through work and you get laid off, congratulations, you might be suddenly at zero coverage. That's a bad surprise to leave behind. Yeah, you don't want to do that for your loved ones. Now, buying life insurance is kind of like a parachute. If you don't have it when you really need it, there are no second chances. That's why I'm using Select Quote. They make it simple. Select Quote's been doing this for over 40 years. They've helped 2 million plus Americans secure over 700 billion in coverage. It's Selectquote right?

Adam Carolla
Started that SelectQuote.com Carolla homes.com well, you know I love me some homes.com. why? Why Adam? Well, some might say homes.com is the best home shopping site. It may be homes.com's super comprehensive and transparent agent directory. Or maybe it's@homes.com is the only site that always directly connects you with the listing agent who knows the home the best. Perhaps it's because homes.com has the most in depth neighborhood content of any home shopping site that's extensively researched. To highlight the personality of each neighborhood. Homes.com goes above and beyond to bring home shoppers the in depth info they need to find the right home. It's a hobby of mine, but I like going on and seeing what houses are going for and where they are and square footage and all that kind of stuff. So if you'd like that too, or you're looking to buy or sell, go to homes.com that's homes.com We've done your homework.

Show Announcer
Foreign's voicemail.
- [66:09]
Adam Carolla
Hey Adam, got a rich man, poor man. For you being driven around by others for work, you're either a corporate big.
- [66:17]
Chase Rice
Wig in a town car or on.
- [66:19]
Adam Carolla
An airplane or you're a migrant worker in the back of a 10 passenger van. The middle class, we just drive themselves to and from work. Get it on.
- [66:28]
Show Announcer
You can leave us a message at 888-634-1744.
- [66:34]
Adam Carolla
Yeah, that one has been covered for the Rich man and the Poor Man. I don't do it normally, but there's a version of it. But Uber kind of screwed it all up because Uber, now everyone's getting tripped around.
- [66:45]
Co-host or Guest
Yeah, cannibalism. Yeah, I just thought of my children. Or you're like a middle class kid getting driven around by a mom.
- [66:52]
Adam Carolla
It used to be you get driven to the airport, which is when you're poor, your friend drops you off at the airport. When you're rich, the town car drops you off at the airport. But then Uber screwed up the joke because now everyone's kind of ubered into it.
- [67:07]
Co-host or Guest
Although, you know, it's like 130 bucks to like Uber to LAX now. I was shocked by it.
- [67:16]
Adam Carolla
There's something, there's I have a weird, I have a poor person mentality, you know, and so once in a while I'll be with someone and they'll go, oh, I left my sunglasses or whatever. And then someone will go, we'll just uber them over to your house. And I'll go that 86 bucks to bring yeah, we'll put them. I'll call an Uber. We'll put them in the Uber. They'll bring them over. I was like, I'm gonna pay $77 to return this person's sunglasses. For some reason, there's an Uber where no one's in the car. You're just bringing stuff out.
- [67:46]
Co-host or Guest
I have friends that have done that before.
- [67:47]
Adam Carolla
And I'm like, it just feels like an exorbitant amount of money, Right.
- [67:51]
Co-host or Guest
For returning something to communicate it to the. I did do that once when my toddler, my second kid at the time, hid my driver's license and I ended up at o'. Hare. Did you know that you can fly with a Costco card and a TSA PreCheck?
- [68:05]
Adam Carolla
No, I did not know that.
- [68:06]
Co-host or Guest
Apparently, because your Costco card is renewed every year, so it's renewed more frequently than your driver's license. They were like, totally fine that you don't have your driver's license. We know you got to make this flight for some speech in Chicago. And then they were like, also, you have pre checks. So we've done a background check. You're okay. I think they just gave me a pat down and checked my luggage. Right. But then I couldn't get my rental car at o'. Hare. And it was a whole process. And I had my husband fax a photo to, like, a FedEx off site. And then I had an Uber pick up the FedEx and bring it to the rental car facility. And I remember being. It was like 30 bucks. And I was like, this is ridiculous. Just give me the photo. Fricking rental car. It felt like dumb to pay that money.
- [68:48]
Adam Carolla
All right. Stuff to get into. So there's this shooting at the ICE facility that took place very recently, and people were killed. And I've been saying this, and I.
- [69:01]
Co-host or Guest
Think detained immigrants were killed.
- [69:04]
Adam Carolla
Oh, they were. I didn't hear the. Okay, so were they trying to kill detained immigrants?
- [69:11]
Co-host or Guest
Well, that was what leftists on X were saying. But then it was turned out that, no, the guy was actually anti ice and I think he was just a very bad shot.
- [69:19]
Adam Carolla
Right. Okay, so here's the thing that I've been saying for a long time. You are compelling people to take action. If you keep talking this way about people who are trying to do a job. There's a way to disagree with people in a way that doesn't compel people to take action, but that's not the way they do it. And so that. So the night before the shooting, Gavin Newsom was on Colbert by the way, always note the deep leg cross.
- [69:55]
Co-host or Guest
You love to talk about the leg.
- [69:56]
Adam Carolla
Cross because it is a competition with.
- [70:00]
Co-host or Guest
Did they, like, color coordinate their suits, too?
- [70:03]
Adam Carolla
Progressive guys cross their. Like, the only one who'll go deeper than Gavin Newsom is Obama.
- [70:12]
Co-host or Guest
Obama does do it pretty deep. He almost can wrap his ankle, like, around his other foot. He goes deeper.
- [70:17]
Adam Carolla
He dislocates his hip on his left side so he can get a little more action.
- [70:22]
Co-host or Guest
Very flexible hip flexors.
- [70:24]
Adam Carolla
I think these two guys work with, like, a Pilates instructor. And like, the Pilates instructor, like, on the first day, they go, are you having back problems? Or upper back or lower spinal? They go, I want to learn how to. I want to be able to cross my legs like, I never had a Dragon Ball.
- [70:40]
Co-host or Guest
I want a virtue signal so much when I go on late night flight.
- [70:43]
Adam Carolla
If you saw them with their Pilates instructor, it would all be them sitting on a padded chair and the Pilates guy just forcing. Forcing the deep. The deep leg cross is how you signal to your constituency that you are down because you don't have balls. All right, so here he is. I don't know. I mean, what is this?
- [71:05]
Co-host or Guest
He's letting the gray come in a little more. Good for him. He's embracing the age.
- [71:08]
Adam Carolla
Is this Good? Is this 10? Thank you. Is this 10 hours before the shooting? I don't know. Maybe it's 12 hours.
- [71:17]
Co-host or Guest
I think I'd see it.
- [71:18]
Adam Carolla
All right. But here he is happening in the.
- [71:19]
Gavin Newsom
United States of America. Masked men jumping out of unmarked cars, people disappearing. No due process, no oversight, zero accountability. Happening in the United States of America today. People ask, well, is authoritarianism. You're being hyperbolic.
- [71:33]
Adam Carolla
Bull.
- [71:34]
Gavin Newsom
We're being hyperbolic. If you're a black and brown community, it's here in this country. And so I. I'm deeply proud that I had the privilege of signing the nation's first bill to address the issue of masking. Also to require you have simple identification. To your point, I mean, if some guy jumped out of an unmarked car in a van with a mask on, tried to grab me, I mean, by definition, you're gonna push back. And so these are not just authoritarian tendencies. These are authoritarian actions by an authoritarian government. You saw what Stephen Miller said last week.
- [72:10]
Adam Carolla
All right, all right, hold on. If you just woke up, like, if I just woke up, I went to bed, whenever Terri Schiavo fell into a coma, and then I just woke up now and I turned this on, I'd go, what's going on here? Well, this is a Late night show. And I go, who's that? Well, he's the governor of California. I'd go, oh, what's going on? We gotta take up arms. Like, what's are they? We gotta go.
- [72:33]
Co-host or Guest
He said you have to push back.
- [72:35]
Adam Carolla
Well, now that you gotta push back. But he said that unmarked cars and masked guys with no ID are grabbing people from behind. Black and brown. It's always black. I don't know what black people. Don't you feel like black people just want to go, can you just fucking leave me out of this one? Like, this isn't us. This isn't us. I know you like to say black and brown. Black and brown. Black, whatever.
- [72:59]
Co-host or Guest
They just got a broad swath.
- [73:01]
Adam Carolla
Everything affects the black and the brown person. You cannot not include the blacks. But I don't know how many blacks qualify for what exactly you're talking about.
- [73:11]
Co-host or Guest
Yeah, like how many Ugandan immigrants are being rounded up by ICE and disappeared?
- [73:17]
Adam Carolla
Like Haitian disappeared means what? Give us examples. Who are we talking about? Who? Who? No id? No. No nothing. All right, so he's lying. So he's lying. I don't know how much more of this. Watch. A little more.
- [73:31]
Gavin Newsom
Chills are fine. Called the Democratic Party, an extremist organization, basically a terrorist organization, saying he's going after his enemies. You saw the tweet that Donald Trump sent out. Truth social media, basically telling Pam Bondi, I want these three people taken out. That's happening in the United States.
- [73:49]
Adam Carolla
All right?
- [73:50]
Co-host or Guest
And he said this, like, literally 10 days after Charlie Kirk was murdered.
- [73:54]
Adam Carolla
There's another. There's another clip.
- [73:56]
Co-host or Guest
Does he have no sensibility at all?
- [73:58]
Adam Carolla
This is the greatest clip, which is. I love the misuse of the word literally. I love it when people go, I was so scared, I jumped out. Literally jumped out of my skin. Literally. Okay. Literally jumped out of his skin. I was like, okay, you're not using the word literally correctly there. He's doing well. Let's listen to this one. This is good. This is a few days before he's signing a bill. By the way, I love when Gavin Newsom gets angry. I love indignant. Gavin Newsom. I love when he goes indignant. No, he is now. He was nice. There was nice.
- [74:41]
Co-host or Guest
He used to be nice, Gavin.
- [74:42]
Adam Carolla
I feel like now he's like, nice.
- [74:44]
Show Announcer
When nobody pushed back on him, right?
- [74:45]
Adam Carolla
And now he's like, I don't. You always look when he says damn.
- [74:49]
Co-host or Guest
Oh, yeah.
- [74:50]
Adam Carolla
He goes, I'm sorry, but these damn. These damn rules. And it's like I can no longer contain myself. Cause he's damn angry about it. The whole thing is. It's such a thinly veneered paper thin.
- [75:04]
Co-host or Guest
Does anybody.
- [75:05]
Adam Carolla
Hollow, tinny act? I would believe one of those plastic owls that they put up on the roof. So seagulls don't shit on your restaurant? More than I believe this guy's acting. Why is it attractive to people?
- [75:18]
Co-host or Guest
I don't. It's only attracted to, like, a small group of people. And I do. I have been hearing some rumblings that some high level Democratic donors do think that he might be the chosen one for 2028, because they think that they can, like, moderate him a little bit. I honestly think if they were smart, they'd choose Josh Shapiro, but I don't know if they're that smart. He is like the male. He's the male. Kamala.
- [75:39]
Adam Carolla
Yes.
- [75:39]
Co-host or Guest
Like the lack of empathy and realness. I think that you.
- [75:42]
Adam Carolla
Zero.
- [75:44]
Co-host or Guest
It's. It's like, it's such a shtick for him.
- [75:47]
Adam Carolla
It.
- [75:47]
Co-host or Guest
There's not a genuine bone in his body.
- [75:50]
Adam Carolla
But let's hear. Let's hear this one, because he uses.
- [75:52]
Gavin Newsom
Literally, people quite literally disappear.
- [75:55]
Adam Carolla
All right, Sorry, you gotta go back. Go back to the start. Sorry.
- [75:58]
Gavin Newsom
People en masse.
- [75:59]
Adam Carolla
People quite.
- [76:01]
Gavin Newsom
People in mass. People quite literally disappearing.
- [76:04]
Adam Carolla
Literally. Process.
- [76:05]
Gavin Newsom
No rights. No rights in a democracy where we have rights.
- [76:09]
Adam Carolla
Huh? No rights.
- [76:11]
Gavin Newsom
Immigrants have rights.
- [76:13]
Adam Carolla
Immigrants, we're all.
- [76:14]
Gavin Newsom
Immigrants have the right to stand up and push back.
- [76:17]
Adam Carolla
And that's what they're gonna push back. All right, so anyway, people are literally disappearing. Like Merlin showed up with a magic wand and went poof and just literally disappearing people.
- [76:27]
Co-host or Guest
Is this a. This guy's been in government for a while. He's like a lawyer. I mean, how due process is for.
- [76:34]
Adam Carolla
American citizens, but also Stephen Colbert or any one of these guys. Can you stop them in the middle and go, look, of course not. These people are trying to do a job. Now, maybe you disagree with it and maybe they do things that you don't agree with on occasion, but they're not just showing up and grabbing Americans and disappearing.
- [76:54]
Co-host or Guest
Turns out, disappearing them to show that the people that they're disappearing are people who have, oh, I don't know, stood with Hamas and other people that have actually killed American citizens.
- [77:03]
Adam Carolla
But also, it's a process. Everyone has a badge, everyone has a job. Everyone gets processed. There's no rogue agents that are disappearing.
- [77:14]
Co-host or Guest
People work for, like, FBI, swat. Turns out when they go in and raid places like. Remember that, like whole Armenian money laundering thing where they're stealing money from the government, from COVID And it was like tens of millions of dollars. They were U.S. citizens, FBI, SWAT goes in, they're masked.
- [77:29]
Adam Carolla
Right.
- [77:30]
Co-host or Guest
And then those guys get due process because all of that is a part of like the arrest warrant and the procedure to move forward and prosecute them at trial.
- [77:39]
Adam Carolla
Right.
- [77:39]
Co-host or Guest
And this is like it, It's. They're conflating. If you and I as American citizens were to get grabbed by masked men on the street from the government is very different than an illegal immigrant with alleged crimes that they have committed on top of illegally crossing the border.
- [77:56]
Adam Carolla
Right. But if you thought it's not the.
- [77:58]
Co-host or Guest
Same like you, I'm sorry, guys, you don't have the same rights.
- [78:00]
Adam Carolla
No.
- [78:00]
Show Announcer
Yeah, they always say your constitutional rights. Well, constitutional rights apply to people who are legal citizens in the United States.
- [78:09]
Adam Carolla
Yeah. But also, if you really break it down, it's super simple. They think Maryland dads are being snatched up off the street in unmarked vans. And we think ex gang banger, human traffickers are being grabbed by the streets. It's the same guy. They think of him as a friendly Maryland dad. I think of him as a human traffickers in a gang.
- [78:33]
Co-host or Guest
And maybe there are some of these people that are in the in between. Right?
- [78:37]
Adam Carolla
Yeah. Listen, look, there is going to be gray area and things fall through the cracks. It's just the way it's gonna work.
- [78:48]
Co-host or Guest
But these are the same people that wanted to arrest people for misinformation online during COVID Is the same guy that, that prosecuted the guy that did the undercover Planned Parenthood videos when they were selling baby body parts without like hip, like all the HIPAA violations on the face of the planet. This is the same guy that wanted to dox with Kamala Harris, by the way. Libertarian and conservative donors here. Here in the state of California. So, like the due process thing, I just don't believe. Because you and I are too informed and have brain cells to like see through his bs.
- [79:19]
Adam Carolla
Yeah. I mean, Obama weaponized the IRS against his enemies. I don't know how much process.
- [79:27]
Co-host or Guest
Dave Rubin. Yes, he like Newsom. And the IRS came after him too.
- [79:32]
Adam Carolla
Yeah. I don't know how much process you get when the president weaponizes the IRS to go after conservative business or whatever it was.
- [79:39]
Co-host or Guest
Lower level staffers.
- [79:40]
Adam Carolla
Yeah. All right, so I just wanna see him on Colbert one more time. Just the first 40 seconds, just to hear what it says, because that is. This takes place, you know, I don't know, 10 hours before the shooting begins at the ICE facility, maybe 12.
- [79:58]
Gavin Newsom
That's happening in the United States of America, Masked men jumping out of unmarked cars, people disappearing. No due process, no oversight, zero accountability.
- [80:09]
Adam Carolla
Hold on a second. We don't know. So everyone is just rogue?
- [80:12]
Co-host or Guest
Yeah.
- [80:13]
Adam Carolla
Like are these rogue ICE agents or just rogue citizens?
- [80:17]
Co-host or Guest
Individuals with no due process. Masked cartel guys round up people in Mexico, too. And he doesn't get too upset about that.
- [80:25]
Adam Carolla
But I love the hyperbole. Like, everyone is just like, Tom Holman's just running around with a dart gun shooting people that are brown or black and dragging them in.
- [80:34]
Co-host or Guest
But he said there's no hyperbole. He loves that word.
- [80:36]
Adam Carolla
I love. There's no literally. And hyperbole started from the beginning. He's not exaggerating.
- [80:44]
Gavin Newsom
In the United States of America, masked men jumping out of unmarked cars, people disappearing, no due process, no oversight, zero accountability Happening in the United States of America today. People ask, well, is authoritarianism. You're being hyperbolic. We're being hyperbolic. If you're a black and brown community.
- [81:01]
Adam Carolla
It'S black in this country. I like that he leads with black.
- [81:06]
Gavin Newsom
I'm deeply proud that I had the privilege of signing nations.
- [81:10]
Adam Carolla
Now here's the deal.
- [81:11]
Show Announcer
He's proud of a law that. That doesn't do anything. Right.
- [81:15]
Co-host or Guest
He's got Chad's hands, man.
- [81:17]
Adam Carolla
Well, now here's where the hero part comes in. He steps in, he stands up. But it's a lot of stand up and fight and push back and whatever. And here's what I'm saying on this show, Gavin Newsom is 60 and lying and fucking knows he's lying and knows he is using tons of hyperbole when he says no hyperbole. And everybody over the age of 45 in politics is lying their fucking ass off. He knows what's going on, and all he's doing is lying. Colbert's lying. They're all lying. And they're all just sitting there lying, and they don't care. All the old folks are lying. The people are doing the shooting are in their 20s. So they're not the old guys that are lying. The old guys are lying. And then they're motivating the young guys who are picking up the guns. Because what he's describing, I was kind of thinking about this. One of the best films of all time, although you're far too young to have seen it. Red Dawn.
- [82:21]
Co-host or Guest
Excuse me? That's like homeschool material.
- [82:23]
Adam Carolla
Oh, really?
- [82:24]
Co-host or Guest
Yeah. The original, the remake. What the hell?
- [82:27]
Adam Carolla
Red Dawn. All right, what happened? What happened in Red Dawn? Well, in Red dawn, what happened is what he's describing is going on in America?
- [82:38]
Co-host or Guest
Yes.
- [82:38]
Adam Carolla
This force swept in. This evil force swept in. They were disappearing people into camps. They're taking over in unmarked trucks. And he's describing essentially what happened to the town in Red dawn is essentially what's happening in Los Angeles with ice and what's happening overall with Trump. It's our own people, but it's Trump doing it and calling the shots. Okay, so who's the hero of the movie? In Red dawn, it's the young kid renegades who hid in the hills, and they would come down on raids and drink the deer blood, and they would shoot up. You did see this movie. They would come in and they would shoot up the bad guys, and then they would leave again. Did anyone go, oh, what's Charlie Sheen doing? And Patrick Swayze. Wait a minute. You shot. No, no. They're the heroes of the movie because the invading occupying force has taken over town, and now they're rebelling and they're fighting and they're pushing back and they're yelling Wolverines. He should just start yelling Wolverines is what he should say.
- [83:46]
Co-host or Guest
That's hyperbolic. He would say that. That's hyperbolic, and that's outrageous, and that's like, no, no, heaven forbid.
- [83:52]
Adam Carolla
So you've convinced a bunch of. Through your lies, through your reckless and dangerous lies, you've convinced a bunch of young men to pick up arms and fight. And by the way, if I believed three of your syllables, I would go out and fight as well.
- [84:14]
Co-host or Guest
Yeah, it's like the whole, punch a Nazi in the face, authoritarianism, fascism, lots of freedom, no due process. These are all really scary things. And from the people that for the last 10 plus years told people like me that conservative speech on college campus is dangerous. Right now they're trying to say, no, no, no, our speech isn't dangerous. Our calls to violence aren't dangerous. Just, like, on one side of the aisle. Is that dangerous.
- [84:44]
Adam Carolla
Yeah, I mean, ultimately, Newsom's lying and doing what he does for some reason, seizing something that he thinks important. Colbert's more of a useful idiot. He's just kind of going along with it.
- [84:58]
Co-host or Guest
How crossed do you think Colbert's legs are under there? Do you think you sit and crisscross applesauce?
- [85:03]
Adam Carolla
No, no, no. You don't need to cross your legs if no one's watching. If they can't see your legs, he.
- [85:10]
Co-host or Guest
Gets to, like, man spread under there.
- [85:12]
Adam Carolla
He's man spreading under there. Okay, well, Newsom wouldn't need to cross his legs if they had a desk in front of him. But now that people are watching, you need to know how sensitive he is about how deeply he can cross his legs.
- [85:26]
Show Announcer
It's kind of the same thing is wearing a mask. If you wear a mask, you care about other people. He's demonstrating in that.
- [85:34]
Adam Carolla
Well, unless your ice notice your eyes.
- [85:37]
Show Announcer
No, but that left this way.
- [85:38]
Adam Carolla
Yes.
- [85:39]
Show Announcer
A Covid mask.
- [85:40]
Adam Carolla
Yes.
- [85:40]
Co-host or Guest
Yeah.
- [85:41]
Adam Carolla
All right, you got news. Alicia Krause.
- [85:43]
Co-host or Guest
We do got news. Roseanne Barr is a little upset at ABC allowing Jimmy Kimmel to return. She says it's a double standard and talks about, quote, I got my whole life ruined, no forgiveness and all of my work stolen. And I was called racist for a time in eternity for racially misgendering someone. It just shows how they think. And it's a complete double standard. Of course, back in May of 2018, when she tweeted that former Barack Obama advisor Valerie Jarrett was a product of, quote, Planet of the Apes and of the Muslim Brotherhood, ABC yanked her show off the air despite the fact that it was the Net one of the network's most watched series. Yeah, she says she thinks that it's not fair and she isn't holding her breath. I guess she didn't watch the monologue last night. She said she didn't expect him to apologize. And, and she said she's been blacklisted ever since and she thinks it's not fair.
- [86:32]
Adam Carolla
Well, no one will go along with me on this. Cuz when subjects of race come around, everybody gets scared. And then everyone who I speak to just disagrees with me instinctively. But you can look up pictures of Valerie Jared and she looks like a middle aged Armenian woman or something. I have no, she does not, not present as a black woman is what I would say. I went last night because I was like, and I looked at like five pictures and I just showed my girlfriend. I go, does this look like a black woman? She goes, no, but she's something. She can be. First off, this is America. Like if you talk to her and you went, what's your nationality? And she went, my dad's from Honduras and my mom is Dutch. I'd go, well, there you go. Like, I wouldn't go, you liar, you're black. She doesn't. You can go to the page, you know, the Google image page and look at nine pictures of her. And she doesn't present as a black woman. So when.
- [87:34]
Co-host or Guest
But she's a protected class because she's a leftist who worked for their like demigod, right, Obama.
- [87:39]
Adam Carolla
But when, but when Roseanne Barr makes The plan of the apes reference. And really, that's what gets her is the race component. And then Roseanne goes, I didn't know the bitch was black. Later on, that was her apology. I would not know this is a black woman either by looking at pictures of her. I would assume she's something, but everybody in the United States is something. You know what I mean? Like, there's plenty of swarthy. If you got most Americans, you went, vally Jarrett. What is she? Quick. They'd go Armenian, I guess, or Hispanic. They'd go, who?
- [88:17]
Co-host or Guest
They would say, who? And then you say, this lady. She worked for Barack Obama.
- [88:20]
Adam Carolla
Well, okay, okay. Go to the middle picture where she's standing next to an actual black woman.
- [88:25]
Co-host or Guest
Like, she's with Michelle and Barack right there.
- [88:27]
Adam Carolla
Go next. I use the word middle. Go to the middle picture. Well, you're gonna have to go down, cuz you moved it. Go to the middle where she stayed. All right. That's what a black woman looks like. She. This looks like a picture of a Hispanic woman standing next to a black woman or man. I don't know exactly what it is anymore. But the whole point is, is yes, identifies as. She was railroaded. There's no. There's no doubt.
- [88:55]
Co-host or Guest
And so. And I get. It's like, it's. Two things can be true at once. You can be, you know, against the Roseanne cancellation and also against the Kimmel cancellation.
- [89:05]
Adam Carolla
I think if you're being. If you're being consistent, you should be right. But you can't cheer one and not the other.
- [89:12]
Co-host or Guest
Well, yeah, and that's what people are kind of saying. And I think that that's why you have people kind of on our side of the aisle that are like, yeah, it's time that they get what they deserve. Because for so long, like, in one of our other news stories, we have, you know, all these people that were canceled and blocked on YouTube at the behest of the Biden administration, by the way. Well, they're finally having their comeuppance.
- [89:34]
Adam Carolla
This is my whole.
- [89:35]
Co-host or Guest
Reinstating their YouTube accounts years after they were banned for misinformation.
- [89:40]
Adam Carolla
Okay? That's my whole thing with the whole Mark Ruffalo's of the world. Please spare me your fucking constitutional arguments all the time in your crocodile tears. This is the Biden administration going to big tech and deplatforming people who disagree essentially with whatever message he may be putting out on any subject.
- [90:01]
Co-host or Guest
It happened to Jay Bhattacharya, Ben Shapiro.
- [90:03]
Adam Carolla
Dave Rubin Crowley, and you said nothing you said nothing. You didn't say a fucking word. So please stop trying to convince me that you're interested in this because I did not hear a peep during COVID out of any of these people.
- [90:20]
Co-host or Guest
Or even now, now that it's. Now that it's out public information that Google is admitting that the Biden administration pressed them.
- [90:28]
Adam Carolla
Right.
- [90:28]
Co-host or Guest
Like Google's like. Yeah, they actually did.
- [90:31]
Adam Carolla
No, I sent a tweet out to. I think it was. I know Mike Borbiglia did a thing where comedians need to raise their voice. And I said, you didn't say shit during COVID You saw it, said nothing and you wanted to shut up. Comedians who did want to say something during COVID So don't give me the raise the voices comedian thing. Why don't you just say we're going to cherry pick our subjects and decide whether we should be patriotic, somebody's on.
- [90:58]
Co-host or Guest
Our side or not.
- [90:59]
Adam Carolla
Right. And then we'll speak as comedians.
- [91:02]
Co-host or Guest
By the way, this wasn't just during COVID This also was. This Republican led investigation, of course, was looking. This committee was looking into big tech companies, including Google, that censored and suppress content on their platforms related not just to COVID 19, but also the 2020 election and Hunter Biden.
- [91:18]
Adam Carolla
Oh, Hunter Biden. That didn't turn out. Oh, wait a minute. Yeah. My whole thing is just be consistent.
- [91:27]
Co-host or Guest
Yeah.
- [91:27]
Adam Carolla
I mean be outraged if you think the government got involved with Kimmel's firing and then be outraged now at Meta.
- [91:35]
Co-host or Guest
And Google for this same bullshit.
- [91:37]
Adam Carolla
And Biden.
- [91:38]
Co-host or Guest
Yep.
- [91:39]
Adam Carolla
Be outraged over this cuz this is a bigger government overreach.
- [91:42]
Co-host or Guest
Yep.
- [91:43]
Adam Carolla
But you'll never say a word about it.
- [91:44]
Co-host or Guest
But it doesn't. You're right, it is a bigger government overreach. Cuz it didn't just affect like a listers on the right side of the aisle. It affected people like my mom and my grandpa and my uncle. Like it affected every. If anything, one might outrage you more than the other because it affected not just the people with millions of dollars and millions of followers, but your average American that was utilizing these systems that they thought allowed them to have free expression that was suppressing it the whole entire time.
- [92:11]
Adam Carolla
Yes. All right, give me one more before we bring her.
- [92:15]
Co-host or Guest
You want to talk about Ms. Kamala Harris?
- [92:17]
Adam Carolla
Yes, she's great.
- [92:19]
Co-host or Guest
She says she now has concerns about trans student athletes and that Republicans misrepresented her take on trans issues during the.
- [92:28]
Adam Carolla
I got a philosophical question. I'll ask you, Dawson. I'll ask you too, Alicia, who at their core is more hollow and sort of less genuine and more just paper thin. Is it Gavin Newsom, or is it Kamala Harris? Here's what I want to say. Okay. Let's just say I have a graduated cylinder. You were homeschooled. You didn't have a Bunsen burner. I went to public school. I went to biology.
- [93:04]
Co-host or Guest
My tax dollars paid for you to have a Bunsen burner.
- [93:06]
Adam Carolla
I failed Mr. Diliberti's biology class. But I have a graduated cylinder. Are you ready, Dawson? And are you ready, Alicia?
- [93:15]
Co-host or Guest
Crowd okay. All right, here we go.
- [93:16]
Adam Carolla
It's a graduated cylinder, and there's lines on it all the way up. And it's measured. It's there to measure liquid, to see how high. Get up there. And at the top, it says authentic person liquid. If I put.
- [93:34]
Co-host or Guest
God forgot to give that to Kamala.
- [93:36]
Adam Carolla
If I put Gavin Newsom in a Cuisinart and I know he's heavier than her, but let's erase that. I put Gavin Newsom in a Cuisinart, and I put Kamala Harris in a Cuisinart. I made them into liquid, and then we dumped it into this graduated cylinder. Who was. Who'd be more closer to a human? Who'd get closer to the top of that? Now, they both be remarkably low.
- [94:00]
Co-host or Guest
True.
- [94:00]
Adam Carolla
Right.
- [94:01]
Co-host or Guest
I would actually give it to Gavin.
- [94:03]
Adam Carolla
You think he'd get up a little higher?
- [94:04]
Co-host or Guest
I think he would.
- [94:07]
Adam Carolla
I think he might too.
- [94:08]
Co-host or Guest
Right. You know why I say that? Cause I think he's still kind of friendly with his ex wife, Kimberly Guilfoyle. So I think that there's, like, a small dose of, like, normal humanity still left in that soulless body.
- [94:21]
Adam Carolla
Right. And he doesn't have. He has kids.
- [94:25]
Co-host or Guest
It's like he's, you know, saja boy.
- [94:27]
Adam Carolla
She doesn't have kids. Right.
- [94:29]
Co-host or Guest
Demon hunters. And he might be able to.
- [94:31]
Adam Carolla
She has Doug Amhoff's kids.
- [94:32]
Co-host or Guest
Here's the problem.
- [94:33]
Adam Carolla
She. What?
- [94:34]
Co-host or Guest
She stepped.
- [94:35]
Adam Carolla
She stepped. No kids for a woman is a little bit of a marker of less. Less in the beaker. The cylinder. But go ahead.
- [94:42]
Show Announcer
Here's the problem. When you blend up Gavin Newsom.
- [94:48]
Commercial Voice
Evil.
- [94:49]
Show Announcer
Just turns into a gas form and escapes. And takes a lot with you. I think Kamala is more of a person. I think she's a dumb person. I think Gavin is incredibly smart and.
- [95:01]
Adam Carolla
Calculated, and he knows the.
- [95:04]
Show Announcer
That he's doing.
- [95:04]
Adam Carolla
He's not incredibly smart, though, because he can't answer a question like.
- [95:10]
Show Announcer
Well, because he knows he's wrong.
- [95:12]
Co-host or Guest
Yeah. He doesn't want.
- [95:14]
Adam Carolla
I know. But People, Hannibal Lecter was wrong, too, but he could answer the question. You know what I mean? Like, he.
- [95:20]
Co-host or Guest
Well, this is.
- [95:21]
Adam Carolla
I agree with you. He can. He has little flashes of intelligence, but he also. When you're wrong, you get your shit together and you come up with an answer. He has no. Well, maybe that was.
- [95:34]
Show Announcer
Well, Kamala couldn't do that either.
- [95:36]
Adam Carolla
That's true. And she has no kids, which is a little soulless. They're tough.
- [95:42]
Co-host or Guest
Hey, just as the woman in the room, I'm gonna say, some women might want kids and don't have kids. And some women have step kids, and some women have foster kids and adopted kids. And they're all.
- [95:51]
Show Announcer
Well, listen, Gavin is campaign manager's wife.
- [95:55]
Adam Carolla
Yeah. Foster kids and adopted kids, that gets you higher up, then gets you more in the cylinder.
- [96:02]
Co-host or Guest
Saint hood in my life.
- [96:03]
Adam Carolla
Yeah, yeah, that's right. If Kamala Harris went, look, I have an.
- [96:07]
Co-host or Guest
Unless you're Amy Coney Barrett, because then the left doesn't like that, then they hate you.
- [96:11]
Adam Carolla
Right? But if Kamala, Harri. Sarah said, look, I have reproductive issues, but I adopted a bunch of kids from Biafra or something, I'd be like, oh, shit. So she would have more of the human, more juice. All right, so you got more.
- [96:23]
Show Announcer
I think you could forego the Cuisinart and blend Gavin in one of those magic bullets, and that's all he's gonna get in the graduated cylinder. He's not a human.
- [96:34]
Adam Carolla
The actual bullet. Okay, you say.
- [96:36]
Co-host or Guest
Although he.
- [96:37]
Adam Carolla
You say Gavin more than the beaker. Well, it's a graduate cylinder, but yes, it's a graduate.
- [96:42]
Co-host or Guest
Just based solely on his relationships.
- [96:46]
Adam Carolla
Right?
- [96:46]
Co-host or Guest
Like his relationship.
- [96:47]
Adam Carolla
Like I said, people on the other.
- [96:49]
Co-host or Guest
Side of the aisle.
- [96:51]
Adam Carolla
I believe he's a good dad. I believe, you know, he has kids. I believe he cares about his kids, and I think he has some sort of thing where he's not a bad guy. But we're getting to the point, and I think we need to get to this point, which is bad guys with bad and dangerous ideas are still dangerous people, even if they come in a friendly package or even if their heart is in the right place. You're a politician with a heart of gold who wants to give the young 17 year old from the wrong side of the tracks a new lease on life, even though he's been arrested 14 times. So you turn him loose and he fucking stabs you. Stabs citizen, I'm sorry, heart of gold person. That still makes you a bad person.
- [97:42]
Co-host or Guest
Yeah, the intent wasn't there, but the result of it is the hellscape that is California, by the way.
- [97:48]
Show Announcer
I just want to be clear that a magic bullet is a type of.
- [97:51]
Adam Carolla
Blender, not a vibrator. Yeah, yeah. Oh, if it was. Oh, boy.
- [97:57]
Show Announcer
Meet that lady.
- [97:58]
Adam Carolla
He.
- [97:59]
Co-host or Guest
He and Kamala have a similar answer, though, on the trans issue. It's like they. They say that they have concerns about it and it's not fair, but they don't give, like, a straight up answer about what they're gonna do.
- [98:09]
Adam Carolla
She's talking about Gavin has to straddle a line of saying he's into fairness and it's not fair, but then he won't physically verbally take a stand on anything. Yeah.
- [98:21]
Co-host or Guest
Or tell the Cal sports commission to not let you.
- [98:25]
Adam Carolla
Saying it's an issue of fairness is very ambiguous because who. Both sides argue it's unfair that my daughter, who's now my son or my son that's now I can't compete against, you know, so it's a cop out. Zero answer.
- [98:40]
Co-host or Guest
It is. Kamala said, quote, I agree with the concerns expressed by parents and players that we have to take into account biological factors such as muscle mass and unfair student athletic advantage when we determine who plays on which teams, especially in contact sports. But she continued, with goodwill and common sense. I believe that we can come up with ways to do this without vilifying and demonizing children.
- [99:01]
Adam Carolla
Nobody vilifies and demonizes. They just go, we don't want people with an unfair biological advantage whooping up on the girls. That's not demonizing or villainizing. We don't want it.
- [99:12]
Co-host or Guest
Yeah.

- [101:42]
Chase Rice
Left leg aches when it's cold.
- [101:44]
Adam Carolla
Sure.04 ain't 10 years ago and it hurts.
- [101:52]
Chase Rice
A whole lot worse than it.
- [101:54]
Adam Carolla
Used to When I'm poor Whiskey like I'm 22 and I'm over.
- [102:03]
Chase Rice
Looking over my shoulder.
- [102:07]
Adam Carolla
Chase Rice in studio. New album Eldora is out as we speak. And Chase, I got a happy surprise for you.
- [102:18]
Chase Rice
All right.
- [102:18]
Adam Carolla
I was told you were unaware of this, but I was told I could announce that your album, Lambs and Lions, has officially been certified as gold. Really? Yeah. Lambs and Lions.
- [102:32]
Chase Rice
I forgot about that record.
- [102:34]
Adam Carolla
It's officially gold. That's awesome. That's a good piece of news.
- [102:37]
Chase Rice
So I grew up Nashville, doing the mainstream, the radio and all that stuff. So I was getting plaques left and right when I started. But, man, I haven't had a plaque in, like, seven years. I don't think.
- [102:48]
Adam Carolla
Well, sick. Good.
- [102:50]
Chase Rice
Let's go.
- [102:51]
Adam Carolla
I'm so glad you're into it.
- [102:52]
Chase Rice
Hell, yeah.
- [102:53]
Adam Carolla
And it must be nice. You came in here, you commented on what I was talking about before you came in. A little common sense, but very rare out in la. And here's what I'm gonna say is nice. I live in la. I work in comedy. No one around me in my business or in Los Angeles agrees with anything I say. And you will jeopardize your career because you're not getting into Sundance and you're not getting onto Netflix if you talk how I talk. But if you're in country music and you talk the way we talk in la, it may hurt you as well. So it must be nice to be able to speak freely amongst the group you're in.
- [103:40]
Chase Rice
It's. Believe it or not, it's, it's. It's depends on what years we're talking about. If we're talking like 2020, you couldn't say anything really, just like anybody. I reached a point in 2020 where I said, fuck it, I'm gonna be myself. I'm not gonna try to please the industry. I'm not gonna try to please the Grammys, similar to what you were talking about. I'm gonna be. It changed my music. Like, I'm gonna say what I want, learn, you know, become educated and have my opinion and not be afraid to speak it. Because that's the whole point of this country is you're supposed to be able to say what's on your mind.
- [104:16]
Adam Carolla
I agree. And I also, I also think it's kind of the whole point of music and the whole point of comedy. Like said I. I repeated to people all through Covid and all through these times, when they were telling me shut up, I would go, I'm a comedian. I can't shut up. And I can't say what you want me to say. Cause it's popular. And I'll go back to swinging a hammer if I'm gonna start going down that road. So, no, I've done it.
- [104:43]
Chase Rice
I've done the whole silence yourself thing. And once 2020 happened, I was over that shit, I'm gonna be myself. And I saw something, even Miranda Lambert said the other day, she talking about she's going to blow up her career if she has to by speaking her mind on. I think it was on Kimmel. And for me, it's like, if you can't say what you want to say, that's the whole point of this country. Like, freedom of speech. You're allowed to say what you want. Now, you're gonna have to deal with the consequences of that. But what I found in 2020 was I did a show during COVID got blasted for it by the mainstream media.
- [105:18]
Adam Carolla
And because it was a gathering, because.
- [105:21]
Chase Rice
It was a gathering. Now, they didn't know any of the stat, the actual facts behind the show. There was like 10,000 seat place. There was a thousand people there. They came to the front of the stage, like, that's their choice. Right now. We're way past that. But there's gonna be a new issue there's new issues going on right now. You know, with Charlie getting shot, everybody's fighting on social media now. I'm a big proponent of. You are you should be allowed to say what you should. What you want to say. Like, that's freedom of speech.
- [105:49]
Adam Carolla
Well, the weird thing that comes from the other side is they never really question that statement. They go, oh, no, I'm all about free speech as well. Because it's like a parent saying, I don't like education. They go, no, no, I'm all for education now. What are you teaching the child? You know what I mean? Now it's a different subject. So then they go, so I'm all for free speech, First Amendment, blah, blah, blah. Then they go, but hate speech. And then they go, but I'll be in charge of what hate speech is and also what fake news is. And what like, okay, you guys said that Joe Biden being cognitively impaired was a cheap fake. That's the last thing you said. You said Hunter Biden's laptop was misinformation. What is it that you guys said that wasn't misinformation or deep fake or a cheap fake that turned out to be true? And the answer is none of it. So now I think you're lying. And I certainly don't want you in charge of what's real and what's fake. Information.
- [106:59]
Chase Rice
Yeah, dude, I don't know what to believe. I get on social media these days, and I, like, I don't have a clue what to really believe. I got a couple friends that I, you know, they go down the rabbit hole. I try to stay away from the rabbit hole, but the biggest thing for me is, shit, I don't know. I have my beliefs in what I believe is true and right in. And I'm gonna speak about that and if I'll deal with those. That's the biggest thing people aren't understanding. Like, you're gonna have consequences for what you say, and you're gonna have consequences. All these people freaking out about, you know, these people are allowed to say Charlie Kirk deserved to get shot, but they have to deal with those consequences for that. And they have to step up. And people coming after them, they're not trying to censor them. They're just saying, that's bullshit.
- [107:43]
Adam Carolla
Like, I agree.
- [107:46]
Chase Rice
It's a fucking double standard.
- [107:47]
Adam Carolla
That's crazy. So you. I'm looking here and an interesting past. You played D1 linebacker. You're on a NASCAR pit crew. Which makes sense because at some point they're like, why do we have these hard drinking, heavy smoking, fat hillbillies doing this. Why don't we get athletes?
- [108:08]
Chase Rice
That was 09 I graduated from. Uncle was playing football. That was the path I was gonna take.08, my dad died. Oh, the 08 and 08, I lost my career to football injury and my dad died. So I'm just like, what is going on? That's when I learned to play guitar. But that's also to your point. Why are we gonna have all these bigger dudes that are slow working the pit crew? So they brought in nine of us at Hendrick Motorsports to see if we could just be faster. And they'd already started doing it on other teams and at Hendrick, but. But they brought in a whole class of ex athletes. We're going to see how you guys can do.
- [108:45]
Adam Carolla
So you're playing outside backer.
- [108:47]
Chase Rice
I was outside in nickel and I. Well, I was outside in bass and I was inside in nickel, so I played all three.
- [108:54]
Adam Carolla
Really? Oh, really?
- [108:55]
Chase Rice
Yeah, I was smart. Like, I knew I wasn't fast as some of the other guys. I knew I wasn't as gifted, but I worked my ass off and I was smarter than most guys because I had to be.
- [109:06]
Adam Carolla
No, I agree there's something to being not quite as gifted, but overcompensating a little with other things. I played linebacker too, and I had the same situation as you. I didn't play as high level as you, but I was like an all Valley High school player. And I knew that it was going to be a little more technique and a little less foot speed for me. And you start like, like watching the guards and you see when they're leaning forward, lean back, and you see when they're leaning back and they're a little light touch on the ground, like, okay, we gotta pass or this guy's pulling and you start to feel things and read things and so your IQ kind of carries you further than maybe your feet could.
- [109:51]
Chase Rice
And I realized looking back, coaching is so huge. It should be an obvious statement, but my junior year we had a guy named Chuck Pagano who was. Who ended up becoming the head coach of the Colts, right, For a number of years when he was there, I only played a quarter and a half under Chuck, but I was balling in camp. First game had like seven or eight tackles. Five or six of them were taken away because of holding penalties and stuff. But I was playing good football. And then the second quarter, I snapped my ankle. I was done for the year. And my backups was a guy named Zach Brown. And Bruce Carter. Zach was a first round draft pick. Bruce was second round draft pick.
- [110:25]
Adam Carolla
Riley. So you started over two guys?
- [110:27]
Chase Rice
Yeah, they were younger, but I was starting over them. And now what I did wrong that year, instead I was selfish. Instead I was like, all right, I'm going to rehab, I'm going to get better. I'm going to come back next year and be the all ACC linebacker. And instead of focusing on like, all right, how do I make these two young kids that don't know what they're doing, like get in the film room with those guys while I can't play and make our team better? I didn't do that. And that's just looking back. Mistakes. I was 22 years old and I was mad at the world because my dad had just died. So I wish I could go back and change that because that would have made me a better player too, by making those guys better.
- [111:02]
Adam Carolla
So you obviously stand out in high school. You get recruited to unc?
- [111:07]
Chase Rice
Yep.
- [111:08]
Adam Carolla
What are you guys, how's the team back then? I mean, you have a coach that's in the NFL now.
- [111:14]
Chase Rice
Yeah, we were so. Ben Johnson, Is that what you're talking about? Yeah, yeah, he. But we were good my freshman year.
- [111:21]
Adam Carolla
Had three.
- [111:22]
Chase Rice
Two bad years, one solid year. When Butch Davis came in the next year, we were really good. Like we, we were balling and we only went nine and four or something, which was a bad year for how good our team was. Ben Johnson, speaking of him, that's why I'm wearing a bear shirt. He, he was my middle school quarterback, my high school quarterback, my college roommate. College quarterback.
- [111:45]
Adam Carolla
He was really, he was a walk.
- [111:47]
Chase Rice
On at Carolina and. But it's really cool to see what he's been doing, man. He's. He's a smart. Like we'd go on spring break cruises and he'd be, we'd be all getting drunk as and he'd be out playing like Sudoku and winning the Sudoku challenge on the cruise. He's always been a smart guy, so it's cool to see him ballin'. That house that we lived in, it was like eight or nine guys. We've had a lot of cool stuff come out of the house. A lot of NFL players, Ben now being a coach, a couple other guys.
- [112:13]
Adam Carolla
You got a gold record.
- [112:14]
Chase Rice
I got a gold record again.
- [112:16]
Adam Carolla
Hell yeah.
- [112:17]
Chase Rice
That's cool. It's been, I'd say five or six years since I had something like that.
- [112:22]
Adam Carolla
Well, I like talking to football players because there's a work ethic, man. And they're tough. And some of the most sort of pragmatic, like reality on reality terms kind of people, because it's just 2A days, it's the sun and it's drills, it's hitting, it's pain, it's overcoming whatever. But nobody feels in their heart of hearts about something. There's nothing, it's just work. And I also noticed they're humble in a sense. This guy was faster than I was and he was stronger than I was. But I overcompensated with the. You just did a whole thing where you selfishly were thinking about rehab instead of helping the guys that were underneath you in the same position or filling your role. Now you don't hear people talk that way normally.
- [113:13]
Chase Rice
Yeah, well, that's just the older I've gotten because I was bitter for a long time that I didn't get to play in the NFL. I'm like, I got hurt. Well, I had a year to come back. I did play, but I just wasn't as good. Now I lost a step with my ankle. The two guys were first and second round draft picks and my dad had just died. You got to cut yourself a little bit of a break there. And I was a 22 year old kid, you know, I didn't deal with a great. But that's helped me in music and that helped me. And that's helped me nowadays, like looking at other musicians, I don't look at other. I had a while in the beginning of my career, I kept that same mindset of like fuck everybody. I want to be the best. I want to be the most known. It wasn't even the best. I just want to be the most famous. The one that was on the TV shows, the one that was selling out stadiums. And now I focus more on how do I make my music great. Like how do I actually be the best singer songwriter that I could possibly be? And that doesn't take away, like, who cares what's happening with Morgan Wallen or Zach Bryan or Ella Langley or whoever's popping off and blowing up, like, good for them, let's just support them. That's what I learned through football and I took that into my music career.
- [114:14]
Adam Carolla
Yeah, football's one big lesson. Yeah, essentially.
- [114:19]
Chase Rice
Yeah, it is.
- [114:19]
Adam Carolla
And I don't. I think you get more. I think if you're the quarterback or the star running back, you get less of a lesson than the interior lineman.
- [114:30]
Chase Rice
Oh my God.
- [114:31]
Adam Carolla
The offensive linemen get the most lessons. And because it's all sacrifice, that's all they do is just work and work and work.
- [114:37]
Chase Rice
I think offensive lineman, they're the toughest players on the field for sure. Most of the time.
- [114:41]
Adam Carolla
Yeah. So you go, you go from high school, you get recruited out of high school, you're playing at a high level D1 injury, dad dies, then injury and you pick up the guitar at that point.
- [114:55]
Chase Rice
Yeah, I just learned to play a little bit the year before that and through that year I was rehabbing. I actually was writing songs because that was the only way for me to deal with my dad dying. I wrote my first song about him, wrote another song, just kept writing songs and I loved it. That was the only thing in life that made me happy at that point. That was 2009 and 22 years old, 23 years old wherever I was. And I just hated life except for. Because senior year I wasn't playing, I wasn't contributing to the team really at all. And. And I hated everything except for music. And that was like. Even the next year I graduated and got the call to do Hendrick Motorsports and my dad raced. I'm looking at all your stuff in your room. I was going to show you some pictures. He raced. So getting a NASCAR job like that's him and Paul Newman right there.
- [115:46]
Adam Carolla
Oh, really?
- [115:47]
Chase Rice
Yeah.
- [115:47]
Adam Carolla
Wow.
- [115:48]
Chase Rice
He won his class at roll into. Well wasn't Rolex then but 24 hour Daytona.
- [115:52]
Adam Carolla
All I can tell you what year that is.
- [115:54]
Chase Rice
That's his ass crash.
- [115:55]
Adam Carolla
I can tell you what year that is. You go back to Newman and your dad. Because I own the car that is peeking out from under the COVID that is in the foreground. Yeah. That is a Triumph TR6 that Newman drove. That he won the D Production championship in road Atlanta in 76, I think. Show me the car. Watch. I will match my car door. Show me Newman. I'll just tell them. They'll find it. You don't need to find this one. Show me Newman's TR6 Triumph TR6D production car and I will show you the same door.
- [116:42]
Chase Rice
And that's him. That's him and my mom.
- [116:44]
Adam Carolla
Oh my God.
- [116:45]
Chase Rice
She's a smoke show back then. She still is. Sorry.
- [116:48]
Adam Carolla
Your dad's driving a Datsun 2000?
- [116:50]
Chase Rice
Yep.
- [116:51]
Adam Carolla
Now who the fuck else would know what car your dad was driving from this?
- [116:56]
Chase Rice
I just asked my brother, I said what kind of car was the Datsun? He said, I don't know, but I'll find out.
- [117:00]
Adam Carolla
He's driving in a. That is a Datsun 2000 or could be a Datsun 1600 roadster.
- [117:07]
Chase Rice
A different look at it. And that was Daytona, I believe.
- [117:11]
Adam Carolla
All right. That's the car.
- [117:13]
Chase Rice
Oh, my God.
- [117:14]
Adam Carolla
And I own that car.
- [117:17]
Chase Rice
You own that car right there.
- [117:19]
Adam Carolla
That's in the picture. Look at the 75. That's so sick. Look at the way the 75 is the exact same car drawn in the outline around it. And that was Newman's own colors. God. So Newman's talking to your dad. His car's covered up.
- [117:36]
Chase Rice
Half covered, yeah.
- [117:37]
Adam Carolla
And somebody pulled it back just enough. So your dad was a road racer?
- [117:43]
Chase Rice
He was a road racer.
- [117:45]
Adam Carolla
Oh. You know, I gotta say, I'm relieved because a lot of guys dads, or not a lot of guys dads, but, I mean, they go, oh, my dad was a racer. They did circle oval, you know, dirt track or whatever. And it's like, it's fine, but you're just going in a circle for a long period of time. It's not a road course where you're mowing through the gears and turning left and right.
- [118:07]
Chase Rice
He got us into. We did it at Charlotte two years in a row. One was a six hour, one was an eight hour. Go karts and they supply the carts. And we won the first year, which was sick. It was me, my two brothers, my dad and my high school friend. And the high school friend didn't race. He was just up hanging out. But that was an eight hour race where we're endurance racing around the inside.
- [118:27]
Adam Carolla
Of go kart Charlotte. Yeah. And so your dad, first off, he's hanging around with Newman. He's driving a Datsun. Listen, the last. The last car I raced was a Datsun 2000 roadster in a vintage race. Now Dawson's gotta find that. That's crazy. It's just a bre. Bad Corolla, Datsun. You know, whatever. It's the last. There's pictures of it in this hall. I can recognize the handle on the door.
- [119:00]
Chase Rice
I can't believe you own this car.
- [119:02]
Adam Carolla
I do.
- [119:03]
Chase Rice
That's cool, man.
- [119:04]
Adam Carolla
And your dad raced a 2000 roadster. What else did he race?
- [119:09]
Chase Rice
So I'll try to find a picture. I was talking to my brother about trying to figure out what the cars were. I have two pictures in my house.
- [119:16]
Adam Carolla
You show me the pictures, I'll tell you the car.
- [119:18]
Chase Rice
I'm sure I got them in here.
- [119:19]
Adam Carolla
Now, he's raced a 2000 roadster with a full cage, and I had an OR. Your dad's was orange or red?
- [119:29]
Chase Rice
His was orange.
- [119:31]
Adam Carolla
You can find. All right, you ready, Donna, you ready? 2000 Roadster. Lightweight. 2000 Roadster. Adam Corolla, Orange. You'll see me racing an orange 2000 roadster or just 2000 roadster. Adam Carolla. Anyway, Dotson. But yeah, if you show me the picture. So you would go to Hendrix. Hendrick's the biggest name in the game.
- [119:54]
Chase Rice
Right, Right. Especially at that point. Jimmy won two when I was there and we got up to. We started in arca, moved our way up to Nationwide truck, and then within like six months, a couple of our guys on our team that came in were. They were up on one was up on Jeff Gordon's car. Now all of them are. A lot of them are still doing it. I saw them a couple weeks ago in Nashville. A couple months ago. But.
- [120:21]
Adam Carolla
Right.
- [120:22]
Chase Rice
I. So I was half assing it. I was. I was still in that hate life mindset, which was so dumb because that was the job. Like, if I. My dad was still alive. He died when I was 22 that year. But if he would have been around, he'd been like, dude, what are you doing? Like, you know, you can do this. You know, you can be the best at this. And I was half assing everything because every day I'd go back and go to the hotel and try to write songs.
- [120:44]
Adam Carolla
Right.
- [120:44]
Chase Rice
I didn't like it. And it was the perfect job for a guy like me. But we ended up getting up to the Nationwide series. A lot of our couple of guys were in the Cup Series.
- [120:55]
Adam Carolla
Are you a jack guy? Are you running the air gun Impact gun?
- [120:59]
Chase Rice
I was a jackman first, and then they moved me when I started finally giving it my all.
- [121:05]
Adam Carolla
That's me in an orange. I've never even seen this picture, but that's a 2000 Roadster Datsun with a full cage in it. And then.
- [121:17]
Chase Rice
This is crazy.
- [121:18]
Adam Carolla
That's great. If you look at the door handle, it's the same. It's the same.
- [121:22]
Chase Rice
I got another. I found another one of this car. That's him and my mom again, but, yeah, it's the same car.
- [121:28]
Adam Carolla
Oh, that's a 2000 Roadster. That one has flares on, but that is 100% the Datsun 2000 Roadster. God. Dad was a cool dude.
- [121:36]
Chase Rice
This was my dad.
- [121:39]
Adam Carolla
Wow, that's a dude. But see, the thing that's weird is I don't picture him as a Datsun guy. I picture him as a mopar guy or something like that American muscle guy.
- [121:49]
Chase Rice
I have a 72 Dodge Challenger that him and I dropped the 426 Hemi.
- [121:53]
Adam Carolla
That's what I'm picturing.
- [121:55]
Chase Rice
That's that's how where he got to. He probably couldn't afford it. I mean he was broke back then, so. But he did win his class. I don't remember what year. 76 to 79. Somewhere in there that he won his class at Daytona. And so I remember being on a.
- [122:10]
Adam Carolla
24 hours a day.
- [122:11]
Chase Rice
24 hours, yeah. Won the class. It was one of those lower classes.
- [122:14]
Adam Carolla
Yeah, yeah.
- [122:15]
Chase Rice
And before Sponsored by Rolex. When Rolex came around, we'd go every year to the Rolex 24 hour Daytona every year.
- [122:20]
Adam Carolla
Wow.
- [122:21]
Chase Rice
And that's where I was born.
- [122:23]
Adam Carolla
And he'd tow the car out there and do the whole thing. Yeah.
- [122:26]
Chase Rice
Before we were born. Oh yeah. He worked his ass off. He knew everything. You and him could sit here and have a field day.
- [122:31]
Adam Carolla
Wow.
- [122:32]
Chase Rice
And I wish he could be here right now talking about it. But he always wanted a. I was middle school on a cruise with the family and he's looking at Daytonas in the one of the shops in like Turks and Caicos or something. And he was about to buy it. I'm fired up just because the only reason I liked it was cause it was Daytona. That's where I was born. And didn't buy it. Ended up buying two cheaper ones to give one to my mom. So he never got a Daytona. And I wanted a Daytona my whole career. Once I finally had enough money. But at that point to get one was really hard. 2000 I think I got this one.
- [123:09]
Adam Carolla
2019, a Rolex Daytona, which is also a Newman. There's a Newman version of it or something.
- [123:15]
Chase Rice
This is the one I wanted because this is the block was closest to Paul's and my manager knew that years ago and ended up giving me this right here in LA in Orange County. Five or six years ago.
- [123:27]
Adam Carolla
Wow.
- [123:28]
Chase Rice
It was five because it was 2021. So 2021, he gave me this so four years ago. And that's why I wear the Daytona, because my dad didn't buy one and. But I always wanted one. And it's kind of just the tip of that to him.
- [123:43]
Adam Carolla
What'd your dad do for a living?
- [123:45]
Chase Rice
He was residential contractor. So he built houses.
- [123:49]
Adam Carolla
Ah shit, man. I used to be a builder.
- [123:51]
Chase Rice
You and him would all feel.
- [123:52]
Adam Carolla
David, just sit there drinking Coors, talking about Datsun roadsters and Paul Newman and framing.
- [124:00]
Chase Rice
When I saw the Paul Newman stuff, I was like, damn, this is cool.
- [124:04]
Adam Carolla
Well I got 14 of his cars and they're all race cars. And I made a documentary on his racing.
- [124:13]
Chase Rice
Oh my God.
- [124:14]
Adam Carolla
And it's got all the footage of him back in the day. And he probably did a bunch of stuff. You know, he raced. So they have, you know, they have D production, C production, B production, you know, that's what you're talking about. Different classes, you know, so the roadster may have been E production or D production, you know, so Newman raced in all the different. So he was definitely racing with your dad.
- [124:42]
Chase Rice
So this is one of the pictures I have in my room. And he's the 87 car right there. What's that? I had to zoom way in to get to it.
- [124:51]
Adam Carolla
But wait a minute.
- [124:54]
Chase Rice
87 or third or 87 in the back?
- [124:57]
Adam Carolla
The one I'm looking at right there? Yeah. Oh, that says 87. Oh. Oh, okay. I was looking the wrong way.
- [125:05]
Chase Rice
Wow.
- [125:06]
Adam Carolla
What?
- [125:07]
Chase Rice
I believe that's a Datsun as well, but I could be wrong.
- [125:10]
Adam Carolla
What year is this? Do you know?
- [125:13]
Chase Rice
That would be pre 80s.
- [125:17]
Adam Carolla
Pre 80s.
- [125:18]
Chase Rice
79 maybe.
- [125:20]
Adam Carolla
God, this is. I am telling you, there's no car I cannot decipher, but I'm having trouble in this. That's a tough one.
- [125:30]
Chase Rice
I'm gonna ask my brother.
- [125:31]
Adam Carolla
Ask your brother. Send him a text. I. I don't know which. That is a weird. That's a weird car to race and a different car to race.
- [125:41]
Chase Rice
Yeah, that was at Daytona.
- [125:43]
Adam Carolla
That was at Daytona. Cause it was up on the bank.
- [125:45]
Chase Rice
Yep.
- [125:45]
Adam Carolla
Yeah. And does anyone have those cars? No, they all went away.
- [125:51]
Chase Rice
No, they all. I have his racing suit, so Nashville. I wore his. One of his. He has a full body racing suit. And then he had the top and bottom. I wore the top at the Nashville race a couple months back.
- [126:03]
Adam Carolla
He must have been a tall guy, because you're a tall guy.
- [126:05]
Chase Rice
Yeah, he was about 6, 3.
- [126:06]
Adam Carolla
Oh, really? Racing doesn't normally attract tall guys.
- [126:11]
Chase Rice
I know. I mean, he looked like Arnhardt. I mean, he looked like Dale.
- [126:14]
Adam Carolla
Dan Gurney aside. But it's. It's usually a shorter guy's game. You know, just.
- [126:19]
Chase Rice
He was big. Dale was big one. Dale over six feet, senior.
- [126:23]
Adam Carolla
I. I don't. I don't know how big he was. I watched a doc on him, but. So you. You were one of the earlier guys to go from football where they started recruiting guys to be pit guys.
- [126:39]
Chase Rice
Yeah, we were the first class that Hendrick ever brought in that was just focused on that like we were the peons. Didn't get any respect. I had to clean everything, start from the bottom. But within six months, we were doing really well. First day we get in, Coach Berkey was his name. He actually recruited me. He was the head guy in charge of bringing in all these ex college athletes. And he was a GA at Carolina when I was a freshman. So he was in charge of me my freshman year. And so he called me when he saw that I didn't get picked up by any teams in the NFL and said, would you want to come work in racing? And I'm at Hendrick Motorsports. As soon as he said, hendrick Motorsports, I'm like, hell, yeah, because I don't have a job. I'm just trying to write songs. But that wasn't going to be a career. So I immediately said yes. Went and lived in a hotel room for six months to a year.
- [127:27]
Adam Carolla
Working.
- [127:27]
Chase Rice
On that, just trying to work our way up. And we. We got really good, really fast. Our first day, we roll in there, Berkey's like, he said, all right, boys. Taught us the basics. You know, how to get it onto the car, get the jack, get the guns going, how to index a tire. And he says, all right, after about an hour, we're into a pit stop. And so the car rolls around. We have no idea what we're doing. We had an hour of training, and I think the first stop we did was three and a half minutes. And within six weeks, we were doing sub 14 second pit stops.
- [128:00]
Adam Carolla
Sub 14 seconds.
- [128:01]
Chase Rice
And then all four tires.
- [128:03]
Adam Carolla
Yeah.
- [128:03]
Chase Rice
And then you get down to the. That point, I think 12 to 13 seconds was unreal. Like, you get into the elevens. It was crazy. Now they do weird stops. Now they've changed the way we did it.
- [128:17]
Adam Carolla
They did. I was watching a doc. I think it was Hendrix. Who's going to le Mans. I don't know if you saw that doc. There's a doc. I'm gonna ask you to look it up. But it's like America goes to le mans or something. They ran a NASCAR at the 24 Hours of Le Mans and recently.
- [128:40]
Chase Rice
Like a stock car.
- [128:41]
Adam Carolla
Yeah, at the 24 hours of Le Mans. I mean, they. I mean, it was modified. I mean, they dialed it in for le mans, but they ran it at le mans and it finished. And it was the first time a stock car finished le Mans.
- [128:58]
Chase Rice
I can't believe it could go that long.
- [129:00]
Adam Carolla
And. Well, I mean, however they build the engines, they built it for an endurance race and so on and so forth. But they did a pit crew competition, and there's all these, you know, Audi and. And Porsche and all these le Mans, you know, Ferrari, you know, the perennial all stars. And they did the pit time competition, and The NASCAR guys won it. Really? Yeah.
- [129:29]
Chase Rice
That's cool.
- [129:30]
Adam Carolla
Shit. They won it. You love the doc. I think it was Netflix. Dale sr. Six one, by the way.
- [129:39]
Chase Rice
Six one. Yeah, he's up there.
- [129:41]
Adam Carolla
So I'm the. The doc. Was it like America Goes to Le Mans or Netflix? Hendrix went to le Mans. Yeah. 2023.
- [129:54]
Chase Rice
I want to watch that because I know some of my guys.
- [129:56]
Adam Carolla
Oh, yeah, it's a really cool doc. And they did have a timed pit competition, a pit stop competition. And these guys won it. Probably. Probably. Cause the endurance guys are first off. They don't have a bunch of jocks, you know, college players to deal with. They got Frenchmen, you know what I mean? Number one, American Thunder. That's on Prime Video. American Thunder. American Thunder's on Prime Video.
- [130:25]
Chase Rice
Okay.
- [130:26]
Adam Carolla
It's really cool. So they've got a bunch of jacked jocks going over the wall, but also they're doing endurance racing. They're doing 24 hour races and. And 12 hours of Sebring and 24 hours of Daytona. They're probably not. They're not doing as many sprint races. So it's probably a little different.
- [130:47]
Chase Rice
We practice every day. I mean, we do. When we first started, it was mornings, evenings, and we'd have to. We were like. I said we'd have to clean up after the cup guys. Just make sure all their stuff was cleaned up. And then you work your way up to the Nationwide and Cup cars. When I was there, it was 2009, 2010, and we won a championship with Jimmy both years.
- [131:08]
Adam Carolla
Hendrick did Jimmy Johnson.
- [131:09]
Chase Rice
I think he won five. Yeah, I think he won five years in a row. Yeah, but it was like their shot. Everything they did was top level. There's shops you could eat off the floor.
- [131:17]
Adam Carolla
Right.
- [131:18]
Chase Rice
And they just had it figured out. I mean, NASCAR was changing rules almost. It seemed like every year to try to get somebody else to be Jimmy.
- [131:24]
Adam Carolla
Right.
- [131:25]
Chase Rice
He just kept figuring him and Chad Knauss. First time I did a pit stop in front of Chad, it was Nationwide race, and I think Ryan Newman was our driver. And Newman comes in and at that point I was indexing. I'd moved from Jackman to tire carrier.
- [131:42]
Adam Carolla
And is that what I call indexing?
- [131:44]
Chase Rice
Yeah, insert index. But I slam in on the right side and perfect run around. I clip the fender, the wheel well on the left side as I'm going in, turns, the tire, I'm jiggling it on there. It cost our team probably two seconds. And finally get it on. And I turn around and Chad Canalis is standing right there with his arms crossed just looking at me. I'm like, fuck. One time Chad comes and actually checks us out. And then Chad and I actually became close after that. So I just started picking his brain and he, he's, he's, he's one of the best crew chiefs ever.
- [132:16]
Adam Carolla
We got the trailer for American Thunder and see if you, you'll, I mean you, you of all people are gonna love this, Doc. But it's good. It's good anyway.
- [132:27]
Chase Rice
It's existing.
- [132:28]
Adam Carolla
Yeah. Lamar is the biggest race in the world. It's a 24 hour race. It's about survival. Pushing man and machine to the limit. We're going to race in NASCAR at Le Mans. We're going to do what?
- [132:48]
Chad Daniels
There's a stereotype that NASCAR isn't as technologically advanced as other racing series. In 1976, Bill France took a couple.
- [132:56]
Chase Rice
Of NASCARs to Le Mans.
- [132:58]
Adam Carolla
One made only two laps.
- [133:00]
Chase Rice
Our goal was to make sure that we beat my father's record.
- [133:04]
Adam Carolla
Mike Rockefeller, Jimmie Johnson, Jensen Button. You're not going to get bigger star power. Oh, I just talked to Jensen Button. Most successful, most powerful team Laguna Seca.
- [133:14]
Chad Daniels
If you were going to choose a team, this was the team you wanted to choose.
- [133:20]
Chase Rice
We gonna do this right? Whatever it takes.
- [133:22]
Adam Carolla
We're gonna be embarrassed. All right. You get it? Yeah. Jensen Bunton, I mean Jensen Button raced in my race.
- [133:30]
Chase Rice
Really?
- [133:31]
Adam Carolla
Yeah. And I'm racing in a vintage race.
- [133:33]
Chase Rice
Yeah.
- [133:34]
Adam Carolla
And I got an F1 guy up front.
- [133:37]
Chase Rice
Did he smoke you?
- [133:38]
Adam Carolla
A little bit. He may have had more horsepower. I don't know if it was a driver, but he whooped up on all of us. But it's like, you can't. This is a vintage race. This old dudes that are fat sitting in datsits.
- [133:53]
Chase Rice
Did you ever race Le Mans? No. Or Daytona?
- [133:57]
Adam Carolla
Still a dream. No, never raced. Race. I did a couple professional Trans Am races and Trans Am won like in big cars. And that's as close as I got to real racing.
- [134:10]
Chase Rice
I couldn't believe when I walked in. And like I said, first of all, I didn't expect to come into LA and hear your viewpoints. So I'm sitting there like, fuck, man. Thank God somebody who's got some common sense. And then I'm looking around all the cars, all the racing stuff, and I see all the Paul Newman stuff. It's like, oh my God, this is gonna be a fun conversation.
- [134:27]
Adam Carolla
Well, I'll take you on a tour, but first I'll give you a plug. The new album, Eldora out as we speak. And then of course, you want the certified gold, man. Lambs and lions as well. Any place I should send people Instagram?
- [134:47]
Chase Rice
Yeah, I do my Instagram. TikTok has stuff, but I just. So I'm an independent artist now. I don't have a record deal. I left my deal two years ago. Music industry is. I'm sure you get a lot of it here, too. But it's like they give you the loan, they give you a million bucks to record an album, to promote the album, and then as soon as they gotta make their million dollars back first before you make a dime, and then after that you're making like 20%, maybe your income off your streaming. And streaming makes big money these days. So if you don't have radio and all that stuff, you don't need a label. So I left them two years ago. So I need all the help I can get with anybody here. So thanks for having me on the show.
