From Carolla 1 Studios in Glendale, California, this is the Adam Carolla Show. Adam's guest today, actress, model, comedian, Charlotte McKinney. Plus the news with Alicia Krause. And now, Adam Carolla.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, get it on, man. Got to get it on. Charlotte McKinney back in studio. Good to see you, my dear.
Charlotte McKinney
You too.
Adam Carolla
I will take the mic and just make sure you angle it toward me and lean into it. It'll be. It'll be easier. Charlotte, I would say first came into prominence with the super bowl commercial. Right. Carlos Jr. Which I just looked up and quite a coincidence, but it was the Patriots versus the Seahawks.
Charlotte McKinney
Oh, okay.
Adam Carolla
That was your super bowl coming out party. And now here we are.
Charlotte McKinney
Oh, how funny.
Adam Carolla
Yeah.
Charlotte McKinney
Not that I know anything about either teams, but.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, no, I get it. It was just a weird coinky dink that as I was looking it up, that was the super bowl. And here we go.
Charlotte McKinney
So funny again.
Adam Carolla
So for you, that's the big breakout. I mean, a Super bowl commercial.
Andrew
Yeah.
Charlotte McKinney
And I came when I was doing press. I came on your show.
Adam Carolla
Yes.
Charlotte McKinney
I was like looking it up, trying to find stuff. I found like one clip, but it was a while ago.
Adam Carolla
So then that then opens the door to Baywatch and features and all sorts of stuff.
Charlotte McKinney
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
And now stand up.
Charlotte McKinney
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
Which you've been doing for about five years.
Charlotte McKinney
Three. I think that's wrong. Yeah.
Adam Carolla
Three.
Charlotte McKinney
Four. Three.
Adam Carolla
Yeah.
Charlotte McKinney
Yeah. I'm a baby with it.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. I think it's best to round down with.
Charlotte McKinney
I'm rounding down it maybe is five, but I'm like a solid three.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, yeah. And. And I saw you. I actually saw TMZ caught up to you at the. lax, I think. Was asking you. So embarrassing about that.
Charlotte McKinney
So cringy.
Adam Carolla
Well, you must have to think about it because when you step out of the airplane and you're walking through lax, TMZ guys will pop out on you. Right.
Charlotte McKinney
Not usually this was like a weird incident. I used to get that. And then it kind of like it comes in waves. So I was caught off guard. I haven't had one of those guys in a while.
Adam Carolla
The weirdest.
Charlotte McKinney
So weird.
Adam Carolla
Well, the weird part, I haven't told this story in a million years, but. Yeah, but the weird part is a million years ago and you guys can look it up. A million years ago, Jimmy took me on my birthday to see Sex and the City part two, the movie.
Charlotte McKinney
Okay.
Adam Carolla
And it was a. Now how did this come about, you may ask?
Charlotte McKinney
Because I going to the theater see it too.
Adam Carolla
To the theater. And made a whole thing out of it. Okay, right. And it was Sex and the City, the movie. I think the part two must have come out. It had to be 15 years ago. Now it sounds. Sounds insane, but it was, it was a long, it was a long time ago.
Charlotte McKinney
Okay.
Adam Carolla
And I was watching TV with my ex wife and. And the commercial came out for Sex and the City two. And it was like a thing. And I like that, I like the show. I watch that show. I'm fine with it. But it said coming to theaters May 27th and that's my birthday. So I jokingly said out loud, well, I guess we know how we're celebrating my birthday. As a joke.
Charlotte McKinney
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
Because I would prefer to go out to dinner for my birthday. Yeah, I will. Even if my birthday's on a Wednesday, I'll say, just save it. We'll go out Saturday for dinner. You know what I mean? But and when, what year did that movie come out? So I make the jokey announcement and think nothing of it and then go to bed.
Charlotte McKinney
Great.
Adam Carolla
My ex wife tells Jimmy this is how Adam wants to celebrate his birthday.
Charlotte McKinney
So funny.
Adam Carolla
Jimmy says if that's how he wants to celebrate his birthday, then that's how we're gonna celebrate his birthday.
Charlotte McKinney
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
So all of a sudden I don't pay that much attention to my birthday. I don't really care. It's not a big deal. And we can, if you wanna go out to dinner over the weekend, that's what we'll do. But other than that, I don't need parties or presents or anything. But all of a sudden it's like day of. And my wife goes, I go, oh, what are we gonna do tonight? Get some dinner or something? She goes, no, we're going out with Jim. We're gonna see Sex and City. I go, what? She goes, yeah, everyone's coming. I go, why are we doing that? That's what you wanted to do. I go, I was making a. That made a joke like, a month ago. I don't wanna go see. I don't want Jimmy to have to see Sex in the City in the theater. So he goes. I go, well, it's on and everyone's coming, and Jimmy's gonna finish his show, and they, like, wrap at 6 o'. Clock. We got a 7 o' clock showing, or we're going out to dinner, then we're gonna go, like, the 9 o' clock showing, whatever it is. And I was like, okay.
Charlotte McKinney
All right.
Adam Carolla
So then we get to the theater, and I'm apologizing to everyone who doesn't really want to see that movie. This is not an edict. This wasn't my mandate. I was joking.
Charlotte McKinney
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
Nobody wanted to be there. And so somebody had edibles. So I was like, all right, we should all get high then if we're gonna go do this. And then I got high, and then it was much better.
Charlotte McKinney
There we go. Okay.
Adam Carolla
But then Jimmy and I walked out of the theater. These are the two guys who hosted the Man Show. And there was a TMZ guy there. And he goes, what movie did you two from the man show see? And we were like, ugh, I'm never gonna be able to explain this. So I ended up. I'll show you. I'll show you the clip. But what year? 2010. Sorry, 2010. And this is me and Jimmy, 16 years ago, coming out of the movie theater.
Charlotte McKinney
Wow.
Adam Carolla
With tmz. Sorry. We'll fix in the City. Go back. Sorry. Hey, Jimmy.
Alicia Krause
Huh?
Adam Carolla
I was gonna ask you, how was Sex and the City? Awesome. Awesome. The first one. Oh, yeah. I thought you guys were gonna go see. You're gonna go see Kick Ass or something like that. No way. No. Sex in the City, huh? Sarah Jessica Parker and Kick Ass?
Dawson
No.
Adam Carolla
Well, then no Kid too. Sarah Jessica Parker. Yeah. She's awesome. So it's great, huh? Probably.
Charlotte McKinney
Wow.
Adam Carolla
Exceeded expectations. Okay. Wouldn't expect it from you guys. No, no. We always see these. Oh, really?
Charlotte McKinney
Yes.
Adam Carolla
O.
Andrew
Right on.
Adam Carolla
You're locked into something. Well, yeah. How was Sex in the City? Did you like it?
Guest Comedian
Listen, Cam and a couple of guys have a gay experience together without being questioned.
Adam Carolla
We're so lucky we're in our refractory period. Up your arse. Oh, yeah. Okay. All right. Anyway, I remember being high, leaving the stupid theater and being ambushed. But the thing that was funny is I watched TMZ the next day, and I'm like, oh, it's gonna be so embarrassing. And the guy pitched it and he said, jimmy and Adam from the man show were watching Sex and City and they all started laughing at the guy going, get outta here. They were screwing with you, you idiot.
Charlotte McKinney
Yeah, that's so funny.
Adam Carolla
And I was sitting home going, no.
Charlotte McKinney
We sat through it.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. So they pop out of the bushes and they get to you. They'll get ya and stand up for you.
Charlotte McKinney
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
First off, why. I mean, what made you think of it? Because it's a pretty. You know, it's a commitment.
Charlotte McKinney
Of course. Yeah. And I feel like people think I'm like, oh, I'll just go do it. And like, I'm working really hard at it. I'm really taking it seriously. But I always did, like, comedic acting roles, and I always just was really drawn to that. And then David Spade had this show on Comedy Central called Lights out, and it was basically, they had this section where they put, like, regular, like, people or celebrities on stage with, like a ear rig kind of thing.
Adam Carolla
Oh. Oh, like a ifb.
Charlotte McKinney
Yeah. So I went on this episode and I did. Was pretty scary.
Adam Carolla
It was in the Belly room.
Charlotte McKinney
This was. I don't.
Adam Carolla
The Belly Room at the Comedy Store.
Charlotte McKinney
Yeah. So I was scared shitless. But then I did it and I got really into it and I started kind of like. I had a really fun time with it.
Adam Carolla
So they're feeding you?
Charlotte McKinney
Yeah, him and Whitney Cummings were feeding me what to say.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. Now, when I did the man show, we had a kid called the Man Show Boy, and we'd send him out and go harass people. And he had an earpiece in.
Charlotte McKinney
I love that.
Adam Carolla
And we would feed him lines.
Charlotte McKinney
I think it was so fun.
Adam Carolla
It was funny. Everyone loved Man Show Boy and it can be done.
Charlotte McKinney
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
So do you go out on stage with no notion of what you're gonna say?
Charlotte McKinney
No, I. Oh, with this? Yeah.
Adam Carolla
I don't mean when you.
Charlotte McKinney
I was like.
Adam Carolla
I don't mean in general.
Charlotte McKinney
I was like, whoa.
Adam Carolla
You have no thoughts in your head?
Charlotte McKinney
No thoughts whatsoever.
Adam Carolla
No, you have.
Charlotte McKinney
They gave me no heads up. I didn't get to read anything.
Adam Carolla
So you're gonna just. And the audience doesn't know what's going on?
Charlotte McKinney
No. No idea.
Adam Carolla
So you're just gonna. How much time are you doing?
Charlotte McKinney
I think I did maybe like five or six. So it was really quick. But no, it was fun. And then I kind of just. After that, I was like, why don't I just try it?
Adam Carolla
So you just walk out on stage and you will repeat everything they say?
Charlotte McKinney
Yeah, yeah. It was.
Adam Carolla
I want to see That I still.
Charlotte McKinney
Use one of the jokes from this because they had a team of writers write for me.
Adam Carolla
Okay.
Charlotte McKinney
Oh, my God. I can't watch this.
Adam Carolla
I know. It's so embarrassing.
Charlotte McKinney
Oh, and I kept sitting on the stool. It was a nightmare. I didn't know how any of it worked.
Adam Carolla
Mm. How's it going? I know I look like a news anchor with a tapeworm.
Charlotte McKinney
I know I look like a news anchor with a tapeworm, but it's still kind of useful.
Andrew
I was in Joe Dirt too.
Charlotte McKinney
I don't know if you guys know this, but I was in Joe Dirt 2, in case you're wondering what you don't recognize me from. So you're probably wondering what you don't recognize me from. Okay, this is torture. We have to turn this.
Adam Carolla
I get it. I get it. I'm kidding. I get it. I get it, I get it.
Charlotte McKinney
And it was my first time on stage, and I'm like, I'm moving. So it was really scary to have your first time taped on comedy stuff.
Adam Carolla
No, I get it. It's nice that all human beings are tortured by themselves, regardless of what kind of position they have in society. Like, you think, oh, she's so beautiful and confident and all the boys love her and she's in the commercials and this, that, and the other. But everybody's just. I don't want to say insecure, but nobody wants to see themselves or hear themselves.
Charlotte McKinney
Insecure person you will ever meet. And that's what I'm dealing with is I really struggle with, like, confidence and self confidence. Just.
Adam Carolla
Well, why do you struggle with confidence and self confidence?
Charlotte McKinney
I think just years of being in this industry and, like, being put down and shitty boyfriends and just bad. I don't know.
Adam Carolla
But so is it. You know, it's weird because I don't have that many God given gifts, but I've never been. I never had anxiety or insecurity per se, But I don't also. I don't. My look is not part of whatever I am in this industry. So with women, if that's gonna be a factor, and I think the aesthetic. Let's just see if we can break it down. What you look like will factor in. Certainly on the male side, George Clooney's good looking and he works because of that. But Danny DeVito works a lot too.
Charlotte McKinney
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
So it doesn't. For the male side, it's nice, but it's kind of a plus. It's not really. You don't need to be there. And then women, there's people that are like, you know, Meryl Streep's attractive and gifted as an actress and works a lot. And then there's Kathy Bates, who's not as attractive but a gifted actress. And then there's other people that came out of the gate, Pam Anderson. And then now turning into something else that's kind of interesting. But for women, like the aesthetic, if you're leaning on it, I mean, you get the. You get the Carl's Jr. Super bowl commercial because of the aesthetic, then that's something you have to kind of contend with.
Charlotte McKinney
Yeah, I mean, I'm grateful for it. Cause I always wanted to find a way to get into acting and comedy. And I was like, whatever. If using my looks and doing this super bowl ad is gonna get me to that next phase, I'm grateful for it. But I mean, it has its pros and its cons for sure.
Adam Carolla
I think everything sort of built in is built into that. Like, what I'm saying is, if somebody gave you a $500,000 Ferrari to drive around, there would be pros and cons. Like, it's cool and it's beautiful, but you could go to the Home Depot and somebody could ding it with their truck door or something. And then cops would be sort of. You'd have a little bit of a target on your back and some gang bangers could follow you. Everything kind of has that yin and that yang.
Charlotte McKinney
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
I mean, it's better to have the looks in the Ferrari, but it doesn't mean there's not stuff that comes with it.
Charlotte McKinney
Totally. Even the other night I had a show and I just felt it was like a lot of couples and I just felt the room just like the guys were afraid to laugh at me.
Adam Carolla
Oh, I see.
Charlotte McKinney
Yeah, they didn't want that.
Adam Carolla
I don't know.
Charlotte McKinney
Not that I'm saying that I was probably just bombing, but I. I don't know. Sometimes I definitely feel it's harder to win them over. That's why I'm very self deprecating at the start and like this and that. But it's definitely challenging in a weird way. And I don't want to be like, boohoo me. But it's definitely something that I would.
Adam Carolla
Suggest this, I mean, to anyone listening. And you as well.
Charlotte McKinney
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
And myself. I'm giving this to myself. Okay. Just like, I think we get into thinking about what they want or trying to win them over or let's get them on our side or we have this. This place has a lot of Armenians in the audience. Who don't wanna. Whatever. And I think the remedy for that is just being fucking funny. And all the great comedians that we've loved over the past never did the who's in the audience. And how can I win them over? It can just be combated with. Go. It's not a popularity contest. I'm not trying to make friends. I'm not doing a thing like, oh, single ladies, single ladies. It's just like, let's just crush them with great jokes.
Charlotte McKinney
Totally.
Adam Carolla
And that'll win. They'll always come along with you on that.
Charlotte McKinney
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
And I think in a weird way, people turn it into some sort of chess match that doesn't need.
Charlotte McKinney
Yeah. Makes it harder than it needs to be.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. Like, who are these people and what do they want? You know, like, if you do a corporate gig, which I will do on occasion, it's always like, who are these guys? What are these people?
Charlotte McKinney
How do I need to bring up their stuff?
Adam Carolla
Yeah. And it's more like just get up there with great material.
Charlotte McKinney
Exactly.
Adam Carolla
And they'll go along with you on this. Which is probably a better mindset.
Charlotte McKinney
Yeah. Yeah.
Adam Carolla
So you're doing. Now, you're doing open mics, you're doing features, you're doing middles. Like, what are you doing?
Charlotte McKinney
I am. I mean, I'm getting asked on shows, like proper shows and this and that. But, like, during the week I'm. I'm hitting mics and go to two, three in a night and just like, figure stuff out. But I'm just in a place. I'm really trying to just get better. I don't like where I'm at. I don't like my material. I'm like. Just like, feel like growing pains with my whole set in this.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. Yeah.
Charlotte McKinney
So it's fun. It's hard as shit and. But I'm enjoying it. I'm so super grateful.
Adam Carolla
It is one of the few, not one of the few, more than most. The 10,000 hour rule applies to stand up.
Charlotte McKinney
Totally.
Adam Carolla
And that applies to being a carpenter as well. Although carpentry, you sort of incrementally kind of work your way through it. And at some point, two years in, you kind of know your way around because you don't know everything. But stand up is just. You just have to log time. I know on stage, it just doesn't matter. There's no substitute for it. That's all there is. It's just time.
Charlotte McKinney
I know. I'm like trying to get like 10 years and I just want time. I just want time under My belt, I'm doing these shows with bigger people and I'm like, fuck, if I just had seven, 10 years or, you know. But I'm just putting the time in and it's good. Yeah.
Adam Carolla
Do you. Was this. Was comedy always a thing for you growing up?
Charlotte McKinney
Yeah, like, my mom's Canadian, my dad's from the Bahamas, and I kind of have like a crazy, crazy two parents. And my mom was really funny growing up. And we always kind of like poked fun at ourself before anyone else would and kind of just grew up on SNL and MADtv. And just like, even when I shouldn't have been watching, it was always watching those kind of things. And it was just a really big part of our life. So it was fun.
Adam Carolla
And were you not sort of taken seriously being the beautiful blonde in high school and that kind of stuff in terms of comedy or wanting to do comedy?
Charlotte McKinney
Yeah, I mean, I still don't think I'm taken seriously. That's what I'm working on.
Adam Carolla
Well, it's weird that you want to be taken seriously doing comedy, but I do. I will say this about comedy.
Charlotte McKinney
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
There's a meritocracy to it. Sort of like the NFL.
Charlotte McKinney
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
You know, it's like the NFL is pure. And it's great because you go, every person on the defensive side of the ball for Seattle's black, and they go, those are the best. 11 guys. No one says anything. You know what I mean? They just go, those are the best guys.
Charlotte McKinney
Those are them.
Adam Carolla
And I feel with comedy, you know, women have come in all shapes and sizes with comedy and colors this way and every ethnicities, everything's this way. But ultimately, if you're funny, they'll let you be funny. They won't go, oh, well, she's hot, so she can't. If you are funny, they'll just go, well, she's really good looking and she's funny.
Charlotte McKinney
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
And they'll kind of do it. Or they'll go, she's short and fat and funny. Like, it doesn't really matter. But eventually you will just. You will be out on the field.
Charlotte McKinney
Exactly.
Adam Carolla
Because you're the best.
Charlotte McKinney
Exactly. And I think that's why I want to work so hard and get better, is so I can be like, people.
Adam Carolla

Adam Carolla
Homes.com. 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 that homes.com is the only site that always directly connects you with the listing agent who knows the home the best. Perhaps, just 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. I always use homes.com and you should too. Holmes.com. that's Holmes.com. we've done your homework. You are coming out in this David Spade, Theo Vaughn film, right? Yeah.
Charlotte McKinney
Yeah. I'm super excited.
Adam Carolla
And that's. You're David's girlfriend. Yes, in the movie. And that movie is shot in the can. Edited.
Charlotte McKinney
Yeah, I got to see like a rough cut of it. It's hysterical.
Adam Carolla
And what's the genesis of that? Did they write that movie?
Charlotte McKinney
Yeah, the both of them wrote it, but just like Tim Dillon, Bobby Lee, all the other cam. It's just such a funny story.
Adam Carolla
What's the premise of it?
Charlotte McKinney
It's these two guys who are trying to become waiters, but they're busboys and their goal is to become waiters. And I basically. Yeah, that's kind of the whole gist.
Adam Carolla
And. And does it. Are they looking for theaters or Netflix or is there. Do we know where this is going to end up?
Charlotte McKinney
I think that's where we're at right now is they're. They're Trying to figure out all the logistics of that. So.
Adam Carolla
And did they just sort of independently finance it?
Charlotte McKinney
They did, yeah.
Adam Carolla
So they just went and made a film.
Charlotte McKinney
They just went and made it so they could kind of like run it the way they wanted to run it, which is cool.
Adam Carolla
I really respected that on like, I don't know, 30 day shoot or something like that.
Charlotte McKinney
Yeah. Wasn't too long of one. Yeah. It was a quick one, people.
Adam Carolla
I've done a couple of those. It's work, man.
Charlotte McKinney
Yeah. Those days are long.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. In a weird way, everyone should do it just to sort of get the experience, what that's like. Because it's its own thing.
Charlotte McKinney
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
And you'll never, you know, I did, I don't know, maybe 21 day shoot, maybe a 19 day or something. But you'll never work more in 19 days. Totally.
Charlotte McKinney
Yeah. Over time, just trying to get everything in. It's crazy.
Adam Carolla
And if you're writing it and sort of producing it and directing it, then that's a whole separate thing.
Charlotte McKinney
You're not sleeping.
Adam Carolla
You're not sleeping. So those guys. So David. You dated David back in the day?
Charlotte McKinney
No, I've never dated David.
Adam Carolla
You'd have to. Every single blonde. Every blonde he dates.
Charlotte McKinney
No, I always say. I mean, as no one believes me.
Adam Carolla
Not with him. No, I know, I know every blonde. You are so in his wheelhouse. Of course it'd be impossible. Of course it'd be impossible for you to. For him to not attempt to date you. At least it's physically impossible.
Charlotte McKinney
He put me in Joe Dirt 2, my first movie, and he's just been like a mentor.
Adam Carolla
I would believe that if that were me. I'm virtuous. But he.
Charlotte McKinney
No one wants to believe that. My mentor is David Spade.
Adam Carolla
Thin blondes, that's a tall. I dated a tall, thin blonde. It was like I dated David Spade before you. That's how it works. It's how it works.
Charlotte McKinney
No, no dating. Believe what you guys want. Whatever you say.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. Oh, well, listen, I'm not gonna give you a hard time.
Charlotte McKinney
You can, you can. I'll take. I'm used to it.
Adam Carolla
This is not the. This would not be the David Spade I know. Okay, David, let me tell you something about guys. There are guys that are the lady killers out there in town. The hunky guys. The guys are on the radar. And then there's the quiet guys who move in the shadows. That's David Spade.
Charlotte McKinney
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
And I've always said, because I knew a guy or two, I think when people think womanizer they think of, like, big, strapping, hunky guy, but the cute guys quietly do better than the hunky guys.
Charlotte McKinney
Oh, totally. Yeah.
Adam Carolla
And I want to explore that with you.
Charlotte McKinney
Okay.
Adam Carolla
Because I knew it. I had a roommate who was like, cute little guy.
Charlotte McKinney
Okay.
Adam Carolla
And it was sort of, you know, if you could go back to, like, Davy Jones from the Monkeys. These were like heart. These guys were like 5, 8, and 140 pound guys. And we always thought you need the football hero or something. But it's not Gronkowski. That's not the guy who gets laid. It's the little cute guys that do it. And I had this roommate that did that, and I didn't like it because I'm 62 and I played football, and this guy's getting all the tail, right. What'd I play football for if you're gonna just get all the tail? So. But then I started to realize the little guys, and.
Charlotte McKinney
You mean they're all short?
Adam Carolla
I just mean they're not big. They're not the Hemsworth brothers, okay? When they make a movie about. And they need a guy who all the ladies love, they do. A Hemsworth brother in a tank top, Right? But the reality is, the littler guys, the cuter guys, the smurfy guys, they get all the women.
Charlotte McKinney
They do.
Adam Carolla
And we don't see. We don't notice it because they, like, slip. They're like cockroaches. They just slide in when you shut the line. Right. And I started thinking about it, like, well, what is it? Because there's no male or female version of that. I mean, there's cute, you know, there's Lisa Loeb cute kind of thing, but men are pretty consistent. Tall, blonde, big boobs. You know, we're in Sofia Vergara, you know. Okay. We're down with that. Easy. And so what gives? Well, like, for women, it's not all about the aesthetic. There's other things going on.
Charlotte McKinney
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
And there's a little bit of an element of. I don't want to say danger. But the little guys don't pose a threat. They're physically. They can't really do anything to you, you know? And I think it's a lot easier to hook up with a little guy because there isn't a fear factor. Like, there isn't this guy, come back with me and let's have some drinks in my apartment. The big dude that can go south. The little guy doesn't have the threat factor. And thus, it's easier for. Easier for him to get Back with you. What do you think of that thought?
Charlotte McKinney
I don't know. I think I've dated a really short person before and I feel like they were. I don't know, they have to compensate for.
Adam Carolla
Well, here's another thought. Maybe some women. Some women will go date guys that are sort of under their league and out of their league and lower. Whatever. Because that guy's never going anywhere. He's not gonna. You'll be in charge and he's not cheating. Yeah, yeah, whatever. And I have known a, you know, six foot tall, beautiful blonde who just dated kind of nebbishy guys. That's you, me, and that's great.
Charlotte McKinney
Like.
Adam Carolla
Like, you take, like big hunky dudes and those dudes can hook up and stray. Whereas this guy, who's just lucky to be there, is hanging on with both hands and very attentive. Is that a thing?
Charlotte McKinney
Yeah, it's kind of like that Joe Crystal does the dating down. Like, I really connected with that.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. See, the problem with. See, I think women have the capacity to date down.
Charlotte McKinney
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
Whereas men are so into the aesthetic that we can't date down. Because the same rule would apply, like, if you said, well, Adam, why don't you just date that dumpy chick with the bad skin? She'll never leave you. I'd go, yeah, but I don't want that. Women can kind of go, all right, the guy's not the best looking guy, but I can put that aside. We can't put it aside.
Charlotte McKinney
Yeah, we don't care about looks as much, I think, as guys do.
Adam Carolla
Yes. I guess.
Charlotte McKinney
You know, and I feel like sometimes when guys lack in other areas, they're like, really funny or they're really sweet or. I don't know. But then some of them are all shitty too. Like, I've dated down and they've cheated on me and, you know, so.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, well, it's.
Charlotte McKinney
It's.
Adam Carolla
You just don't know famously. And I'm looking into the booth because I can't remember a stupid name. Michelle Pfeiffer's husband. I'm sorry, I'm blanking on his name. David E. Kelly. No, Michelle Pfeiffer's husband. Whose name? Who took his name and flipped it around backward and forward or something like that. You'll know. The actor. Yeah. Not the new husband. The last Peter Horton. Oh, man, you suck. We talked about this before. I put the pressure on Andrew because he knows all the actors. He's been on this show. I can't recall his name. He flipped his name backward and forward. You'll know. And it was Michelle Pfeiffer's husband. So now are they still together? No. Well, then maybe they weren't married. Maybe they just live together. All I'm saying is David E. Kelly and Peter Horton. Well, don't put marriage then in and then just put boyfriend. But I'm pretty. It's going to come up. I can't now, this kind of thing. I figured you'd know, Andrew, just off the top of your crown. And it's also weird. I live in a weird world where. All right, I can. He's an actor. And they must. If they weren't married. I thought they were married. They must have just lived together and dated for a million years. Yeah. All right. Listen to what he says. Oh, Fisher Stevens. Right. Why is that not somewhere. I mean, why is that not on the Internet? They were not. They were not married. They were just boyfriend. I just went right to a husband.
Charlotte McKinney
I don't know. I feel like I need a photo.
Adam Carolla
I don't know who Fisher Stevens, but Fisher Stevens was. Wasn't he Stephen Fisher or something like that? That's what I was saying. Like, I've talked about this. Maybe not with you, Andrew, but I think Fisher Stevens swapped his Fisher Stevens for Stephen Fisher or something born Stephen Fisher. That's all right. I got as close as I could get. But I said husband, and they. The reason I said husband is. Cause they. I think they cohabitated together.
Charlotte McKinney
Okay.
Adam Carolla
And they live together. And they were together for a long period of time. He's from. He played the Indian guy. He's not even Indian in the Short Circuit movie.
Charlotte McKinney
Okay.
Adam Carolla
He's an Indian guy in Short Circuit.
Charlotte McKinney
Okay.
Adam Carolla
The Indian guy in Short Circuit lived with Michelle Pfeiffer when she was in her prime.
Charlotte McKinney
Oh, wow.
Adam Carolla
And allegedly cheated on her.
Charlotte McKinney
Oh, my gosh.
Adam Carolla
So anyone. Anyone can be cheated upon?
Charlotte McKinney
Totally.
Adam Carolla
That's what I'm saying.
Guest Comedian
Yeah.
Charlotte McKinney
I've always been cheated on. I've never not been cheated on.
Adam Carolla
Never. Not.
Charlotte McKinney
Not sure what that says about me.
Adam Carolla
All right, let me say this because. So here's what I think. You ready? I've never thought about this before, but how long were Fisher Stevens and Michelle Pfeiffer together for? Okay. Yeah, he did. He did Brownface back. He played an Indian.
Charlotte McKinney
Okay. Crazy.
Adam Carolla
I mean, back when. Who cared? Yeah. But he played an Indian guy. But they wouldn't let you do that.
Charlotte McKinney
He went for it.
Adam Carolla
Oh. If you watch a clip of him from Short Circuit, it's like. Oh, it is I mean, it's funny to me, but to most, it's disturbing.
Charlotte McKinney
Yeah, that's a tough one.
Adam Carolla
All right, let's figure out you and cheating.
Charlotte McKinney
Okay.
Adam Carolla
Every time you say yes. Okay, how do you find out?
Charlotte McKinney
I'm very anti going through phones. I don't go through people's phones. I respect everyone's privacy. I just. It gets back to me.
Adam Carolla
It gets back to me.
Charlotte McKinney
Yeah. Girls like to tell. Girls like to tell girls, which is.
Adam Carolla
Before ladies be shopping, but they be talking. They be talking before they. They love it.
Charlotte McKinney
They love to talk.
Adam Carolla
They love it.
Charlotte McKinney
If I'm cheating with someone's boyfriend, I don't think I would tell. I don't know.
Adam Carolla
So here's my thing. They're together back three years. Fisher Stevenson, Michelle Pfeiffer. Okay, so listen, I have a saying. It's called less history, more mystery. I am so not wanting to get involved with people's. Did you hear about. Did you hear about.
Charlotte McKinney
I hate it. Hate it.
Adam Carolla
Everyone says they hate it, and then they do it. I mean, they gossip, but all right. I mean it. I walk the walk, man. When somebody says to me, did you hear on the. Whatever podcast what they were saying about you? I go, no. They go, I'll play you the. I go, I don't.
Charlotte McKinney
I'm good.
Adam Carolla
I'm good. It's not gonna help. It's not gonna hurt. Does it make you money or does it make you happy? If you can't answer one of those two, then don't do it.
Charlotte McKinney
That's great.
Adam Carolla
I told that to somebody once. It, like, changed her life. She was a chick. She's like, I'm gonna fire off an email that.
Charlotte McKinney
I go, no, no, no.
Adam Carolla
I said, al, I think it was. Who was it? It wasn't Allison. I'm trying to think of who it was. I'll think of it. But I just said to her, does it make you money or does it make you happy?
Charlotte McKinney
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
And she said, no. And I said, then don't do it.
Charlotte McKinney
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
And I'd run into her, like, 10 years later, and she'd say, I built my whole life around does it make you money or does it make you happy? Right? So, all right, so now I have a theory.
Charlotte McKinney
Okay?
Adam Carolla
You get cheated on. And I've talked to beautiful women, and they're like, yeah, I got cheated on. And then our impulse as a male and as a society is we go. We go, who would cheat on you? Why would they cheat on you? If I was with you, I would never cheat on you. But These are dudes who, like, who got you and who are in that world. They're playing, like high stakes poker. They're not the dude. So the dude who has sort of the middle of the road, frumpy, whatever, normal girlfriend. That dude's not out there trying to slay world class chicks all day. That's not his game. He likes to settle in.
Charlotte McKinney
That's.
Adam Carolla
And hang out with that, you know? So while you would logically go, well, I could see myself cheating off of her because she's kind of dumpy and I'd like to get with somebody else, that dude is. That's not that dude.
Charlotte McKinney
That's interesting.
Adam Carolla
The dudes you attract are dudes who are out there and playing the. They got the game. They got game. And so that game doesn't stop once you get the.
Charlotte McKinney
Yeah, of course.
Adam Carolla
Right. So now you got this weird catch 22 built in, which is if he's out there fishing in this pond, even if he pulls up a nice trophy fish like you.
Andrew
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
Not to equate you with a fish, but you know what I'm saying? His rod's going back in the water.
Charlotte McKinney
Yeah, that's true.
Adam Carolla
Not that long after he gets the trophy.
Charlotte McKinney
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
Cause that's who he is.
Charlotte McKinney
Yeah. I also feel there's a weird insecurity too. If I have dated down. They feel like they have to cheat. Cause they don't feel enough. I don't know. I feel like there's any time I feel I've been cheated. They were insecure that maybe I was. I don't know. They got insecure with who they were and needed to seek validation from other people.
Andrew
Maybe.
Adam Carolla
Well, there's also another thing that doesn't help your cause, which I realize.
Charlotte McKinney
I'm cheating.
Adam Carolla
Women will be attracted to a guy based on other women he's attracted in the past or been with in the past. It's a kind of a Pete Davidson thing.
Charlotte McKinney
Okay.
Adam Carolla
Pete Davidson gets to go from one hot chick to the next hot chick. Cause he got the first hot chick and they go, he dated Kim Kardashian.
Charlotte McKinney
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
Oh, okay. Well, must be good enough for me.
Charlotte McKinney
Exactly.
Adam Carolla
Because that's how women are wired.
Charlotte McKinney
Okay.
Adam Carolla
Men, we wouldn't really care.
Charlotte McKinney
Yeah. You wouldn't be like, she dated this guy. So she. Yeah.
Adam Carolla
If Roseanne Barr dated a Hemsworth brother, I'd just go, well, that seems weird, but it doesn't make me more attracted to Roseanne.
Charlotte McKinney
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
I just think it's weird. It's weird, but it's not like they'd break up, and then I'd go, all right, I'm moving in on Roseanne. And then someone would go, why? And be. It'd cause she dated the Hemsworth. It doesn't factor in. It does factor the other way. So these guys, if they're dating, you could actually use that with the women. Totally. Who may not normally be attracted to that guy, but now he's with you and thus makes it easier to cheat 1000%. You think so?
Charlotte McKinney
Thank you. I kind of like that. I'll take it.
Adam Carolla
Yeah.
Charlotte McKinney
It makes me feel a little bit better about myself.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. It's basically what Hunter Biden did with his artwork.
Charlotte McKinney
Perfect.
Adam Carolla
Like, he's a shit artist, but his dad, the president. So I'll pay 500 grand for it.
Guest Comedian
Yeah.
Charlotte McKinney
Yeah. I love it.
Adam Carolla
They're using you.
Charlotte McKinney
Yeah, I'll take it. Whatever.
Adam Carolla
Well, I mean, if you think about it, it's kind of the ultimate compliment.
Charlotte McKinney
Yeah. Yeah. Okay. I'm feeling. Feeling a little bit better about myself.
Adam Carolla
Feel better about yourself. Thank you. That wasn't my intention, but okay, fine. True work. Winter job sites don't mess around. Oh, man. Especially back east. You feeling it these days. Freezing mornings, wet conditions, wind that cuts right through that cheap gear. Truewerk builds performance workwear like it matters because it does. What I like about this brand is that it's made by a trade professional who knows what you need because he's been there. Every piece is tested on real job sites before it ever goes to market. Design with moisture wicking, wind resistant fabrics that keep you comfortable and mobile all day. These are electricians, plumbers, and contractors working through brutal winters who have tested it all out. I really love their tech flannel work shirts, especially this time of year when it's cold outside. It's true work, right, Dawson?
Dawson
Don't let cheap work gear slow you down. This winter. Upgrade your day with workwear built like it matters. Get 15 off your first order@truework.com with code ACS. That's T R U E W E.

Adam Carolla
Yes, I'm excited about talking about taking a caller.
Charlotte McKinney
That's gonna be Fun.
Adam Carolla
I think this is Cole, who's. Who's 29.
Charlotte McKinney
Great.
Adam Carolla
Maybe Charlotte has some words of wisdom.
Andrew
Perfect.
Adam Carolla
Is Cole potted up? Okay, Cole, I'm here. All right. Cole.
Andrew
Hi, Cole.
Adam Carolla
Hi, guys. How are you?
Charlotte McKinney
Great.
Adam Carolla
Good. You got a question? So here's my question, and it's a little. It's. It's apropos with what you guys were just talking about. Good. I am a former Division 1 quarterback. Right. When you're in that position, it's very easy to date. Right now I am not. And I'm a broke guy who lives at home with his parents.
Guest Comedian
So.
Adam Carolla
Charlotte, my question for you is, what would your advice be for someone in my predicament?
Charlotte McKinney
Okay, so you're living at home right now?
Adam Carolla
Yes.
Charlotte McKinney
That's a tough one. Okay, so are you saying, like, how should you go about it? Or like, what. What exactly are you looking to?
Adam Carolla
Well, I mean, I guess there's several different avenues. The first one is, hey, dude, make more money and move out of your parents house. Yeah, that might be, Adam. However, you know, you gotta get. Look here. You know, I think back on my days when I was broke, essentially, and single. And that was a pretty long period of time.
Charlotte McKinney
Okay.
Adam Carolla
And I looked. I would think back on myself as a loser.
Charlotte McKinney
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
But sometimes I realized I had hot girlfriends. I had to wait long periods of time in between them. But, like, I had models and strippers and like I had hot girlfriends. Like when I was driving a Zuzu Trooper and had roommates and I was a carpenter. And you can do it.
Charlotte McKinney
It's possible.
Adam Carolla
You don't need money, but what you can't have is a handicap. Like living at home. I had roommates. The living at home, that's tough.
Charlotte McKinney
Like, I date broke guys, but. But I don't think I want to go back to a guy's house whose parents are there. That just like, kind of doesn't really.
Adam Carolla
I'll put it to you this way. There's certain things that are markers, positive and negative. You know what I mean? And let's just say pulling up in a Ferrari and wearing a Rolex, that's one kind of marker. And living at home, that's another kind of marker. And even if your parents have a great home, and even if you have your own wing of the mansion, and even you're still living at home. Bad marker.
Charlotte McKinney
Yeah, that's tough. I feel like my advice is get out of there as soon as humanly possible. Work really hard and, yeah, try and find a nice girl who's open to that at the time. But I don't know many girls who are gonna be down to like go to your parents house and you're 29.
Adam Carolla
I'm 29, yes.
Charlotte McKinney
Okay. Well, I don't know. That's a tricky one.
Adam Carolla
Well, just first off, you're gonna turn 30 before the year's up. Get out of the house. Get out of the house. That's first and foremost. Now here's the thing too. Everything that gets you out of that house will be a move toward the light in dating because it means you have to get a better job or a job at all and get your shit together and get some transportation together and get all. It's not only just moving out of the house, it's all the stuff, everything that goes along with that. Thank you, caller. Cole, thank you. Appreciate it.
Charlotte McKinney
Good luck with everything.
Adam Carolla
I don't think it's fair to have women like, oh, the beautiful women just want the money.
Charlotte McKinney
It's not. And I hate. I don't like that because I don't date, which is. I probably should, but I don't really go for guys with money. That's not really has ever been my thing.
Adam Carolla
I found in my single days, civilian days, when like I said, I was. I drove a truck. I was a carpenter, I was a boxing coach. I didn't have any money. I had like roommates and rented houses and stuff. But I was doing comedy and I was like fun and whatever it could be done. I definitely dated some very great looking women. But you were never in total control. Like at some point they would just kind of drift off because. Because the roommates and the Isuzu Trooper and the. We're having splitting a pizza tonight, it just. That stuff doesn't add a lot of security.
Charlotte McKinney
Totally.
Adam Carolla
And I think in their life, I.
Charlotte McKinney
Think even the guys that are a little more. More broke, you just don't see much of a future with them and you kind of just like have fun while you can. And then you're like, ugh, I definitely, I need something.
Adam Carolla
I could definitely see how that would be. You wouldn't bet on me if we were, you know, dating when I was 28 or 29? I don't think. You think.
Andrew
But if I really like believed in.
Charlotte McKinney
Someone and thought like they were working really hard and had a future, I do see that.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, I agree with. I know. Look, I think if you are dating, you know, Jim Morrison and they're rehearsing and it's before the Doors first album comes out or you're dating Kurt Cobain before Nirvana's first album comes out. But you're watching them practice and you're going, this is really good. Like. And then they go, we're gonna get an album in six months. You could go, okay, that's gonna work. But comedy is weird. Comedy's just like open mic comedy and sketch theater and stuff. Like, you can't really. I think probably the women I dated were probably like, yeah, he's funny, but what's that? So what? Where's that going? Like, it's not like being in a killer band right before you guys explode.
Charlotte McKinney
You know, it's such a slow burn, too. With comedy, I feel like it takes so long that you're just like. But I don't know, if you think someone's really funny, you really believe in them.
Adam Carolla
I don't know. Well, again, though, like, you think they're really funny. Yeah, but I'm trying to think of, like, how many people I think are really funny that are even making a living doing totally standout.
Charlotte McKinney
There's a ton of really funny people that are just.
Adam Carolla
Yeah.
Charlotte McKinney
You know, haven't hit or won't hit.
Adam Carolla
I always say when people go, who's the funniest guy? You know? I go, you don't know who? You don't know the name. You think I'm gonna go, jimmy Kimmel, you know, or whoever. But I'm not. Although I love Jimmy, but it's not the guy I'm thinking of. The guy I'm thinking of doesn't work, and you don't know his name. Yeah, right.
Charlotte McKinney
But that's true.
Adam Carolla
That's what comedy is.
Charlotte McKinney
Exactly.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. All right. So broke guys, broke guys.
Charlotte McKinney
I know. It's something I kind of need to.
Adam Carolla
Work on, get away from that.
Charlotte McKinney
Well, yeah. What would your advice to me be of? Oh, like, maybe they'll get it together one day.
Adam Carolla
In my experience, people don't do a whole lot of changing.
Charlotte McKinney
Yeah, I agree.
Adam Carolla
Good and bad, they're just sort of a package. And the package is, like, good stuff and then some stuff you don't like.
Charlotte McKinney
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
And the stuff you don't like rarely gets fixed or remedied. But also the good stuff is who they are as well, you know? And I do have to say to people a lot. Like, people go, oh, this guy. What's up? He drives me nuts. I go, look, it's a package deal. He does this, he does that, he does the other thing, and you like all that stuff. And then there's this thing. Now, I wish he could fix that thing. But they don't because they're a package like everybody. But I think things, I guess for women who are like having trouble with these guys, I think like old fashioned dude like guy into stuff. Like when you find a guy, like the guys I know that are into like rebuilding an old car and that kind of stuff, like putting stuff up, like Candyman stuff, like kind of those. And maybe this is cathartic just cause I'm into that. But those guys are like more solid.
Charlotte McKinney
Yeah. I like that.
Adam Carolla
The guys that wear boots and they don't need to wear boots.
Charlotte McKinney
Yeah, no boots. We don't do boots.
Adam Carolla
We're doing boots. But you don't use the boots. You're just doing the boots and you're going, you're going to no boo.
Charlotte McKinney
Yeah. With the boots.
Adam Carolla
With the boots. Yeah. You need a steel shank and a steel toe and you're going to no boo. You don't need to calm down. And like having a car that they appreciate and that works well but not that sends a message, you know what I mean? Like I need this Lamborghini raft and this purple whatever. Just a thing where you go, I have this car because it's a good car.
Charlotte McKinney
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
Even if I'm rich and Even if it's $100,000 car, it's still just a good car.
Charlotte McKinney
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
And also a car that they can take to the Home Depot whenever they want, leave it in the parking lot and not worry about it.
Charlotte McKinney
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
That's a. I'm really just describing myself. A guy has his own studio in the Glendale Burbank area. That guy, kind of nappy pubey hair. That guy.
Charlotte McKinney
Great car.
Adam Carolla
Dad used to play the trumpet. That kind of guy. You need that now? I'm trying to. I, I've found that the work with the hands guys are much saner than the pie in the sky idea guys. The idea guys can be tough.
Charlotte McKinney
The idea guys are very tough.
Adam Carolla
They're in their head.
Charlotte McKinney
A lot of ideas.
Adam Carolla
They're in their head.
Charlotte McKinney
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
Versus the rolls up the sleeves gets the hands dirty kind of guy. But you don't want to date a diesel mechanic. So now where we at? You know what I mean?
Charlotte McKinney
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
Like you go, all right, you take a guy, forget about me, okay? Take a guy like Nick Offerman, okay? That guy is a creative and he's an actor and he does all his parks and rec and movies and everything. But then every chance he gets, he goes into a shop and he gets the tools out and he makes a canoe out of mahogany or something. You know what I mean? And I would say that's probably a solid. That guy's been married for 25 years.
Charlotte McKinney
Really? Okay.
Adam Carolla
Because when he's not on the set, he's in the shop. Then he has that kind of mentality. Or maybe a Mike Rowe type or something. Those guys are much more grounded, I think, than. This guy's a producer, this guy's a director, this guy's a writer. They're up in their head. And the. Up in their head guys, you gotta. That's a two. That's a double edged sword. You gotta deal with the good. But there's a lot of stuff that comes along with that.
Charlotte McKinney
Yeah. And I feel like at least men nowadays, they just seek so much validation and dopamine and like a constant now with like social media, they constantly are like craving something.
Adam Carolla
Yes. Yeah. I would say stay away from the validation guys. Stay away. I'll tell you, the other guys, you gotta watch out for a little bit. The guys whose moms babied them too much.
Andrew
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
No, that's when there's like my precious angel can never do wrong.
Charlotte McKinney
I can't not.
Adam Carolla
They're the worst fucking roommates in the world. I never dated those guys, but I've had them for roommates.
Dawson
They're the.
Charlotte McKinney
That's the grossest.
Adam Carolla
They'll make an entire. The entire sink full of dishes and then they'll just walk past it for three months because like you're supposed to clean it up. Everyone's their fucking mom. They are the worst. They have some weird expectation.
Charlotte McKinney
It's so gross.
Adam Carolla
No. You want.
Charlotte McKinney
I can't hate mama.
Adam Carolla
Low expectations, low self esteem.
Charlotte McKinney
Their mother.
Adam Carolla
You're looking at them right here. Right here. I don't want to steer it back to me. Not a fan. Not a fan. Not a fan of the mom. She wasn't a fan of mine.
Charlotte McKinney
Great.
Adam Carolla
I'll do my own cooking.
Charlotte McKinney
Perfect.
Adam Carolla
Perfect. Although I don't have to. Cause Crystal cooks. But I will.
Charlotte McKinney
You will.
Adam Carolla
You want a little low self esteem. And nothing sets the low self esteem standard like mama. Not a fan of the son. When your mom's not. When your mom doesn't care, you're perfect. Good and low. Good and low.
Charlotte McKinney
It's a good spot to be in.
Adam Carolla
Nothing's beneath you.
Charlotte McKinney
Yeah, I like that.
Adam Carolla
You just go. You can say that guy. Go take out the garbage and clean the gutters. Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because he'll take mama who babied him. No way. He's got rules.
Charlotte McKinney
That's so funny.
Adam Carolla
It's true now, but I think, in all seriousness, what you want is a guy who respects his mom and has a good relationship with his mom, but not one where mama treated him like a prince who could never do wrong. Those are the worst fucking guys in the world.
Charlotte McKinney
Those are the worst.
Adam Carolla
Yeah.
Charlotte McKinney
The absolute worst.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. Like, what you want is, like, you know, you go, how's your relationship with your mom? And the guy goes, eh, it's okay. She's all right.
Charlotte McKinney
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Adam Carolla
I don't know. We've had our issues, but she's fine. That's what you want? Not too good, not too bad.
Charlotte McKinney
That's gonna be my first question now on dates.
Adam Carolla
How's the mom?
Charlotte McKinney
Tell me about your mom.
Adam Carolla
Tell me about your mom. What are you driving?
Charlotte McKinney
Yeah. What do you drive? What do you do with your hands?
Adam Carolla
Yeah. Well, you can ask things like, I wonder. Cause that could go somewhere else, but you could go like, oh, man, I gotta pick up a mop. Where's the closest Home Depot? If he goes, what the fuck do I know? No, no. Get away from that guy. You want a home. You want a guy that's been down that aisle a couple times, you know what I mean?
Charlotte McKinney
That's where the Home Depot is. Okay?
Adam Carolla
Not that he works there. He's a contractor. But he should know. He should have a general idea where the wood is.
Charlotte McKinney
I like that.
Adam Carolla
All right, Charlotte, let's see. Let's give you a plug. Facebook and Insta.
Charlotte McKinney

Adam Carolla
Hey, Adam, this is Doug from Cincinnati. I just made a big batch of chicken paprikash. My wife loved it.
Guest Comedian
Get it on.
Dawson
You can leave us a message at 888-634-1744.
Adam Carolla
Let me tell you people, you will not go wrong. I've never met a person that doesn't like chicken paprikash.
Andrew
I need your recipe.
Adam Carolla
I force it on everyone I know. And most things I do, people reject at first. Yeah. Eventually I get to them, but they mostly reject it. And everybody, even my kids when they were young are just like, I love this. I love it. And so does everybody. So get into it.
Andrew
Get the family recipe.
Adam Carolla
It's pretty. You can go online and get it. It's pretty basic stuff, but it's gotta be traditional, okay? And it's gotta be. It does not. Get the tomatoes out of there. There are no tomatoes, okay? There will be no place for tomatoes. We is this American? As Americans, we add tomato paste to everything. We turn everything to a fucking sloppy Joe, is this. This. That's ugly American shit.
Andrew
Okay, so is that like the chili debate of, like, beans or no beans and the chili. Is that the tomato paprikash thing for me?
Adam Carolla
I will. I like beans in my chili. But if you're no bean in your chili, I don't. I will. You're more into chili than I am, basically.
Andrew
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
But, you know, this is like. It's like saying, I like sex, but if we've been playing tennis, it's nice to take a shower before sex. And then some people go, we'll have sex right on the court. And I go, you're more into it than I am, but I'm not gonna critique you. I respect you in a public place, in the changing room, at the club. The point is, you are more into this than I. And the people that like chili with no beans are more into chili than I am, so I respect it. Okay, but the people that add tomato paste to chicken paprikash, you are ghouls. And you did deserve no quarter. No quarter for you.
Charlotte McKinney
No quarter.
Adam Carolla
All right. Speaking of that. Deportion. Deportions. Deporting.
Andrew
It's like too political.
Adam Carolla
Deportion should be a word. It's the biggest problem we face is deportions.
Andrew
It's like the two issues that liberals.
Adam Carolla
Love the most as one big issue. Deportions, deporting. I was trying to make my way through Burbank last weekend. I think it was. I think it was Friday. I was going through Burbank, and, man, right smack dab in the middle of a Trump rally. But not a Trump rally, sorry, a protest. And it was so. It's so. I am. I think people go, well, who cares? Or whatever. I'm a person who watches bad TV more than I watch good tv. And I'm a person who watches commercials more than I watch you do regular tv. Because I'm very interested in our society and, like, what we're doing, you know? And I see 75 and 80 year old people, women just holding signs. And it's Friday and it's like one and the sun's shining, and I'm like, what are you doing?
Andrew
Like, clearly you're old enough to be retired. Oh, yeah, go enjoy the beach.
Adam Carolla
But also, you're in Burbank. You know what I mean? There's nobody. You're not gonna. You know, I guess what somebody. If somebody said to me, everything we do, like, you think you go, okay, then what's in it for you? Or how does this affect things? Like, if somebody Said, well, you're just running on a treadmill for an hour a day. You go, yeah, but I'm burning some calories and getting in shape. You go, oh, okay. But you're not walking somewhere and getting water and, like, bringing it back. Yeah, I know. That's probably. If you're moving, it's probably better to walk two miles to a well, get a bucket of water, and then walk back. But I got a treadmill. But either way, it's good. What if someone said, just go to the mailbox and check it and there's nothing in it ever? I Joe, I'm not gonna do that. Cause there's nothing. It doesn't affect any. I don't get my mail. I don't get any exercise. It's a waste. And they'd go, let's go check the mailbox. How about you get some cardboard, you write, trump's a Nazi put over your head, and you just walk in a circle off of, like, first and olive for three hours. And then you fucking go home. There's nothing. There's nothing. You could never get me to do it. But you know what else you couldn't get me to do? Like, if you just said, take your trash can. Yeah. Dump it out on your floor and then pick it back up again. I go, no. Why not? Because it doesn't do anything. And it'd be like, but don't you hate Nazis? Well, yeah, but what's the stupid trap? How's this gonna affect Nazis? Just do it. Yep, that's what this is. Filmed it from the car. It's like. It's only 10 seconds long, but they're out there, they're making noise. They're holding up the signs, and they're all in their 80s and nobody cares. And then Andrew was telling me, and they have these stupid Nazi signs all the time. Which, by the way, that's. Yes, Ice Out.
Andrew
Ice out is their new thing. That's the pins that they were wearing. I bet you we're see a lot of those pins at the Grammys this weekend.
Adam Carolla
Cannot wait, because celebrities always get it right. They always get it right. But Andrew was telling me he was down getting his oil change at the Valvoline place. And these poor guys got to work at the thing. And everyone's honking. They're honking the whole fucking time. And it fucks them up because they have to sit there and work with the open door, and they're honking the whole time.
Andrew
You mean the likely immigrant minority workers have to deal with the Privileged white people that probably went to Stanford.
Adam Carolla
Yes. Now, let me.
Andrew
What else is new?
Adam Carolla
Let me explain this to all the idiot politicians and all the asshole citizens who do the Gestapo and the Nazi and all the references to Hitler and all that. Whether it's Tim Walls and his Anne Frank thing or just a citizen who does it. Listen to me. They go, I'm not asking anybody to pick up arms and shoot anybody or do anything to Stephen Miller or Tom Homan or Donald Trump or anybody. I'm just calling him a Nazi. Okay, here's the thing. If some brave German soldier, lieutenant, let's say circa 1941, put on an explosive vest, had a meeting with Hitler and blew himself up and Hitler up in 1941, there would be statues, memorials, and parks to that guy with his name on it.
Andrew
Oh, yeah.
Adam Carolla
All through Europe and all through the United States. And it would be a goddamn hero. So if killing Hitler makes you a hero. And by the way, we wouldn't argue with it. We'd go, thank God for. Thank God.
Andrew
It turns out there have been movies made about the men who made that attempt to kill Hitler. Valkyrie, Valkyr in the Ring.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, but we'd all know the name of Helmut Schmidt. We would all know the name of Helmut Schmidt. And they would teach about Helmut Schmidt, the man who blew up the Fuhrer, and himself. He would be taught alongside Martin Luther King and Abraham Lincoln, and there would be memorials to that guy everywhere, including Germany. We would all know the name of Helmut Schmidt. Okay, so doing that math, then calling Trump Hitler or calling Tom Homan Hitler or Nazi or.
Andrew
Let's go to the most real incident of this being the case, Charlie Kirk.
Adam Carolla
Right, okay, well, then if you call someone a Nazi and then you kill a Nazi, then you should join the pantheon of Helmut Schmidt as a hero. And that's what you are asking for when you use this language. Retarded politicians like Gavin Newsom and all you idiots on the left who do this all the time, like, I like to cool the temperature down. Hitler. I'd like to just, hey, we're all Americans. Nazi. Look, we all have families. We all. We love Gestapo, baby killers. Baby killers and concentration camps. Let's just cool. Bring down the rhetoric a little bit. Heimlach.
Andrew
There's even, like, all this week, Tim Waltz was on a podcast where the host was talking about, like, yeah, I think that Stephen Miller needs to be tried and go to prison.
Adam Carolla
Right?
Andrew
And it's like, okay, so you're saying that he's a criminal, right?
Adam Carolla
Yeah.
Andrew
So if and if he's a criminal that's in the White House, then of course, like, people should be outraged.
Adam Carolla
Oh, he shouldn't be tried here. We send him to the Hague and let an international tribunal take him down and then we'll hang them.
Andrew
Mark Ruffalo would probably be pro that.
Adam Carolla
He'd be at the Hag. He'd be at the Hague Hilton.
Andrew
The Hague Hilton.
Adam Carolla
He'd check into the Hilton Hag or the Hague Hilton. I've been there. It's got a good continental breakfast. You've been to the Hilton at the Hague? Been in Hague Hilton? No, I haven't. Oh, man, the Hague Hilton. I've been down there covered. You know, tribunals every once in a while. Yeah, people know that about me. I like vintage Datsuns and war tribunals and, you know, I don't know people live anywhere around the Hague. So I'll stay at the Hilton Hag. You know what I mean?
Andrew
Use those points.
Adam Carolla
I'll get Hilton Hague points.
Andrew
Hilton Hagg honor points.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, and they too. I know it sounds nuts, but they do a poached egg, which I call a poached hag, which is like a. It's like a sandwich, but it's really. It's like European.
Andrew
Why did you say that? As I was taking a sip.
Adam Carolla
You have not done the Ha. The Hilton egg sandwich.
Charlotte McKinney
No.
Adam Carolla
Oh, shame on you.
Guest Comedian
No.
Andrew
Yeah, I need to.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. You haven't gotten around.
Andrew
Group or treat.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. So anyway, would be checked in for an extended time at the Hilton Hagg.
Andrew
He'd be so excited. It's like he's up there with the people. And I mean, Tim Walls and others have said it's like international law. International law.
Adam Carolla
Right. So you assholes are gonna get people killed because you won't stop with the.
Andrew
Nazi preferences or at the very least pepper sprayed and tear gassed and maybe arrested and spending a night or a week in jail.
Adam Carolla
What is the.
Andrew
They love it though.
Adam Carolla
Could I Airbnb a place by the Hague?
Andrew
Oh, I bet you we could. We could.
Adam Carolla
They have like an Airbn Hague.
Andrew
I have the app.
Adam Carolla
See if there's an Airbn Hague. If I want to get down to the Hague and bring a few buddies and maybe me and Ruffalo can go there and play like Connect 4 or something at night. After the proceedings.
Andrew
After the proceedings.
Adam Carolla
Right. Is there. What's the closest I can get to the Hag with an Airbnb meeting. What is the closest? The Hilton Hag. I need a place walking distance to the Hague.
Andrew
Oh, to It. So we're gonna have to search by the app. How many friends are we bringing? Just you and Mark. Ruffalo.
Adam Carolla
Just me and Ruffalo are going to.
Andrew
Okay, so two. Oh. Oh. I mean, honestly, it's not bad. You got a lot of options.
Adam Carolla
I got a lot of hag related options.
Andrew
You do? I mean, only for a couple hundred bucks a night.
Guest Comedian
Oh.
Andrew
Do you want to splurge and see what the one that's 458 is?
Adam Carolla
Ruffalo needs a fire pit.
Andrew
Oh, all right. Any place with a fire pit to burn the constitution.
Adam Carolla
He just needs a fire pit. I don't know. He's one of these actor guys.
Andrew
This one has a garden.
Adam Carolla
Okay.
Andrew
You could take a nice soak in that bath.
Adam Carolla
We could together. Mark likes a soak.
Andrew
I'm sure he does.
Adam Carolla
You know what he likes most? After a nice chat by the fire pit. Oh, no good soak. We'll do a soak at the hag.
Andrew
You could probably get a private chef to make you your hag egg.
Adam Carolla
We could do the hag egg.
Charlotte McKinney
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
Airbn hag.
Andrew
You could make the egg on an egg at the hag.
Adam Carolla
Oh, now you sound like green eggs and ham. I know, don't you?
Andrew
I know it's cause it's the mom and me.
Adam Carolla
What is. I don't even know. What is the closest big city to the Hague? I don't even know.
Andrew
That's a good question.
Adam Carolla
What is it like in Switzerland? No.
Andrew
Netherlands.
Adam Carolla
Netherlands.
Andrew
It's in the Netherlands. I knew that.
Adam Carolla
In the Netherlands.
Andrew
Okay, but I don't know the closest city.
Adam Carolla
I figured. I thought it was Netherlands and I thought maybe Switzerland. Cause they're always neutral. It's Amsterdam.
Andrew
It is.
Adam Carolla
Amsterdam's close. Oh, this is getting better by the second. What's it. Cause I like to spend time in the red light district and so does Mark. And they don't do proceedings on like Saturdays and Sundays, you know. How far can we get? Let's see. It should be noted that Valkyrie. Hold on. Rotterdam is closest. That's the closest city to the Hague. Okay, how far is Rotterdam at? And how's their red light scene?
Andrew
I bet you you'd have to make a connection like lax, Amsterdam, Amsterdam, Rotterdam.
Adam Carolla
They got a robust rail system over there.
Andrew
Really?
Adam Carolla
Oh, yeah. We could ride our bikes.
Andrew
It's that socialist country, man.
Adam Carolla
Hop a train, be in Rotterdam in no time at all.
Andrew
Can I just come along? Not for the red light part or the sleeping and soaking together, but for the tulips.
Adam Carolla
Oh, there's A pancake cruise.
Charlotte McKinney
Ooh, damn.
Adam Carolla
From the Hague or is that Rotterdam Mark loves? That's Rotterdam. Okay, here's all I know about Mark Ruffalo. As much as he hates Trump, he loves pancakes and cruising. I mean, who doesn't, you know that?
Andrew
People who like pancakes that much, though, might be Nazis.
Adam Carolla
His thing, he said to me, you pick out the place, it's gotta have a fire pit. We need a soaking tub built for two and I need pancakes on the river.
Andrew
Okay.
Adam Carolla
So I think we're pretty careful now. How far is Rotterdam from The Hague? About five kilometers. Oh, well, shit.
Andrew
That's like 3.2 miles.
Adam Carolla
3.2 miles. That's nothing. Thanks for the metric.
Andrew
How to tell anisha's run.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, 5k before that is a serious. That's walkable. Yeah. And then how far is Amsterdam? Because, you know, we like to blow a little steam off at the red light district is as well. So we're going to turn it.
Andrew
I love that we're actually looking this up.
Adam Carolla
Yeah.
Andrew
Oh, nothing is that far there. Oh, that's like how long it would take us to drive from here to downtown LA at this point?
Adam Carolla
Oh, that's it.
Andrew
50 minutes.
Adam Carolla
All right, so we're either going to go to the Hague Hilton or we're going to go to an Airbnb by the Hague. But either way, when they bring Stephen Miller in there, me and Mark are gonna be ready for.
Andrew
All right, now I'm coming up with you could have an apartment in Amsterdam.
Adam Carolla
We'll keep a place there.
Andrew
Yeah. Or a room in Rotterdam.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, room in Rotterdam. An apartment in Amsterdam. The egg, though, is the best one, though, O'Reilly. Yeah. Auto parts. O'Reilly Auto Parts.

Adam Carolla
You're welcome. All right, what do we got with the news?
Andrew
Well, speaking of people within the Trump administration, Donald Trump has signed an executive order for the feds to take over LA's current nightmare situation to rebuild and boost huge home opportunities to hopefully help rebuild. He actually this story came out earlier today and this is from just a few minutes ago talking about it. He kind of lambast. Rightfully so. Gavin Newsom and Mayor Bass here.
Guest Comedian
It happened, but we got it all done in 20 days, the whole place. And yet now, still more than a year later, they don't have permits. Almost nobody is building. So I haven't told this to Lee Zeldin yet, but I'm going to put you in charge of getting permits. I think we're going to override to local authorities because they're never going to, they're never going to have it. And when I was told that there's a provision where you can override the local authority to get things done, case of. Because it's really, to me, it's a national emergency. What they've done to these people is horrible. It's just horrible. And they'll still vote Democrat. Can you believe it? After all, it's just they get used to it. Although I must say we converted many. It will probably convert a lot more. But I just want them to get into their houses and I don't want a big section of the area built into low income housing. They want to put low income housing right smack in the middle of it. And that's not the American dream. You know, you didn't do that. And low income housing is great. I built a lot of low income housing. But you don't put it there. This is one of the richest neighborhoods in the world and we're going to let those people. And I recommended strongly that that everybody gets the approval, immediate approval to build a house and you give them a 10% bonus so they can build a house 10% larger than they had before if they want, for all the suffering they've been caused.
Adam Carolla
All right, you can pause it for a second. So la, here's basically LA and California sort of in a nutshell, if you want to know, like what is your relationship with the government. Like okay, the relationship is they will completely screw the pooch in terms of fire prevention. They will not manage DeForest, they will have an empty aqueduct and will have dry fire hydrants and will cut back on staffing for the fire department. And we will mismanage the whole thing to the point where huge swaths of the city get burned to the ground. That's the first part in terms of politics in LA and who we're dealing with. Second part is then when it comes to rebuilding, we will not expedite anything. We'll be overly stringent about every permit and there's gonna be tons of red tape and you'll not be able to rebuild. Now to me, I don't know what gets worse than that. Cuz it needs to be one or the other. It needs to be either. Look, we're a little tough in the permitting, but we are so well planned out in fire preventions you're never gonna need to rebuild.
Andrew
Don't worry about it, we got you.
Adam Carolla
Or it could be, listen, we are irresponsible drunken sailors when it comes to fire prevention. But if you need a permit, walk in and get it yourself. Cuz we're super unresponsible with that. Irresponsible with that. Okay, so. But what they are is super horrible when it comes to any sort of infrastructure and maintenance and then super over the over officious about permits and everything else which is now lose, lose. And to be fair, they can't help it. That's who they are.
Andrew
Well, because they can't admit that the policies that they currently have in place have been utter failures.
Adam Carolla
Yes.
Andrew
So they just keep repeating the failure because they know that they will always have this core group of really stupid people, mostly made up of billionaires and celebrities that perpetuate and keep them in power.
Dawson
Yes.
Andrew
And for the people. Cuz I know this was something that he's been getting hit back on social media. I'm the nerd that went to the White House website to actually read the executive order. And like he mentions briefly there, there is actually in when it comes to his power under the executive branch, his declaration of a major disaster for the state of California is allowed. It's immediate and decisive federal action that's required to ensure that the federal disaster assistance is delivered and utilized swiftly. So we'll see what the courts maybe decide. The definition of swiftly is effectively and without obstruction by state and local governments to accomplish the purposes for which it's allocated. The policy is to make sure that those federally Funded reconstruction programs happen quickly at maximum speed. Once again, talking about without obstruction by state and local governments, I really actually think here, a lot of these families in Altadena and in the Palisades should sue the city and. And local government for all of the permit holdups here.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. And you know, what I want to say to the city, Karen Bass, who is a horrible, horrible mayor, and then what I like to say to Gavin Newsom, who's a horrible governor, is, I think, the same thing Trump would say and the same thing. I've had this conversation with many people in my life. I wish we didn't have to do this. I don't want to do this. You could have done it. We could have done it. You could have permitted it. Pardon the pun. You could have let this happen, but you didn't. And you're totally incompetent. And it's over a year now, so unfortunately, we must get involved. And something that I'm sure Trump would rather worry about Greenland or Venezuela or any other thing.
Andrew
Iran.
Adam Carolla
Or Iran or anything but this.
Andrew
Interest rates, but nothing.
Adam Carolla
But he. We must, because you guys are incompetent. And I know you're angry, mostly because you're being shamed, but I don't. He didn't want any of this. Just like we didn't want any of this in Minnesota. We wanted to take illegals who were criminals and remove them from the country, but you guys wouldn't let that happen. And now there's this.
Andrew
I think the best part of this whole executive order is literally the preemption of state and local permitting processes. That's like, no, we're not dealing with this bullshit. Let these people rebuild. Why is the state and local municipalities holding them up so much? It's crazy. And I love Lee Zeldin. I love it that he's on the case now. That's awesome.
Adam Carolla
Me, too. Because I'll tell you what, this is an opportunity for them. And when I say them, I mean California politicians and LA politicians. They will not let this go by. Just like Covid was the greatest gift ever. You mean I get to make rules now? Yes. You mean I can tell people to stay in their house by just swiping my pen across a piece of paper? That's right. You can keep people locked up in their house. How about shutting schools? Yes, you can do that, too. How about shutting churches? All right, you can do that. How about. What if you canceled Laker Games? Could you do that? I could do that. All of a sudden, they're drunk with Fucking power. And that's not the relationship we want with the government. But for some reason, people on the left want that and love it. I mean, it's on my mind. And so I'm gonna bring it up, Andrew, because I'm going to go do Bill Maher's podcast.
Andrew
Oh, that's awesome.
Adam Carolla
A little bit later today. But. And I will bring this up because the spokesperson for this is basically Jane Fonda. And when Bill Maher said. I mean, what I'm saying is the left at its worst is Jane Fonda. That's every bad idea on the left. And when Bill Maher said to Jane Fonda, and this was before the fires, I do believe you can check the date. But he wasn't referring to the fires. He just said, there's too much regulation in California. And she just went, I don't think there's enough. And that's who these people are.
Andrew
Which is so funny, cuz they're also the my body, my choice aspects.
Adam Carolla
Right, right. But not your property.
Andrew
No, not about your property. Not about, you know, vaccinating your children. Not about the education of your children. Not about a small business. Not about a permit to rebuild.
Adam Carolla
No. Here's how it works. Her body is her property, but your property is the state's property. Your property's not your property, but Jane Fonda's body's her property. That's the logic.
Andrew
But my property isn't my property.
Adam Carolla
That is not your property. This is before the fire. Okay, so before the fire, he just said there's too many permits, too much red tape, too much interesting.
Andrew
He stated the obvious.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, she's like, not enough. He didn't say permit. Sorry, but we'll play. It'll take a second. But the point is this. They get. And I'm sorry, it's a little bit of a feminine thing. Permitting is a. You have to go in and ask permission of them to do something.
Andrew
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
And they get an adrenaline surge.
Andrew
They love it.
Adam Carolla
Their nipples get hard when you go in there and go, could I have permission to do something? They go, oh, not so fast.
Andrew
No. I think that they like to hold the keys, right?
Adam Carolla
They hold. Hold the key. So Covid was great. Cause they all dove on it because they love big government and they love shutting beaches and they love telling you what to do. And by the way, the less it made sense, the better for them because that's more control. And this is you having to ask them permission to build stuff. And they go, ooh, not so fast. All right, here it Is it doesn't like regulations. Well, we live in a soup of toxic chemicals. If we don't regulate it, we're all gonna die of cancer. That's true. He doesn't do anything.
Alicia Krause
There's also many regulations that aren't necessary. That aren't. I mean, this. You really don't believe that the state we live in, California, is lacking regulation? There's over 300,000 regulations. I mean, I once.
Adam Carolla
Well, maybe they're needed.
Alicia Krause
They're not. When I tried to put in a garage door, I had to have three inspections. There should have been none. I should be allowed to change my garage door.
Adam Carolla
Are you kidding? Really? It was about a garage door. I'm sorry. Yeah. That is.
Alicia Krause
You know this.
Andrew
She has her people do those things.
Guest Comedian
No, I don't.
Adam Carolla
Well, run it back 10 seconds. Sorry. She's such a pompous douche, by the way. But Sarah. Go ahead.
Alicia Krause
They're not. When I tried to put in a garage door, I had to have three inspections. There should have been none. I should be allowed to change my garage door.
Adam Carolla
Are you kidding? Really? It was about a garage door? Absolutely. I'm sorry. Yeah. That is.
Andrew
No.
Alicia Krause
You know this about California?
Adam Carolla
No, I don't. Well.
Andrew
I'm sorry, I don't.
Alicia Krause
You don't? You've never heard that California is overtaxed and over regulated? That we are. We are a one party state where there's sort of no checks on that sort of extreme leftism and that.
Adam Carolla
Why do you think I don't for a minute consider California a state that is extreme leftist? Not at all. Not any way.
Alicia Krause
Well, that shows where your politics are. That's not where mine are.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, people get to drive cars. So if we were extreme. She had it her way, she'd confiscate the cars in the property.
Andrew
You and I are clearly on the right.
Adam Carolla
Right.
Andrew
And if somebody was like, oklahoma ain't a red state, I'd be like, heck yeah. I mean, that is insanity. She's so out of touch.
Adam Carolla
She wants more regulation. She doesn't think we have enough regulation. Yeah, okay, this is the problem. And yes, sorry if we're shaming you, Karen Bass and Gavin Newsom, but you guys are feckless. You don't get anything done. Or worse, you don't want anything done. But Karen Bass doesn't know how to do anything. I've explained this a million times. Just everyone imagine this when we're talking about the rail that's gonna go along the 405 and join the west side with the east side and alleviate all the traffic going through the Sepulveda Pass. Our current administration, Karen Bass and all the city council people have no ability.
Andrew
To do that, to make it happen.
Adam Carolla
They have no ability. But why? Here's my whole point. Why should they? They don't do that. You know what I mean? Now, if you said it's true, they've.
Andrew
Never built something specifically in the private.
Adam Carolla
Sector, who's going to do this? And I'd go, I got Rick Caruso, Elon Musk, and Trump. They're gonna do it. I go, oh, good. Yeah, it'll get done.
Andrew
They've all built things.
Adam Carolla
They've all built things before. So they not only don't necessarily want it, they have no idea how to go about it. Karen Bass never built a thing. She's going back and forth to Cuba and Ghana. She doesn't do anything. So she doesn't. And also so she doesn't have an interest in it for some reason. And what I'm saying is I like building, so I have an interest in building. But if you like baking and I have no interest in baking, then, no, I'm not gonna think about how to facilitate, expedite. I'm not interested.
Andrew
Well, because she had. Once again, this circles back to. They don't have to because they can continue to get away with it.
Adam Carolla
Yes.
Andrew
So they will focus on the things that they think, which is, oh, my God, ICE went to the soccer field and scared little children while rounding up their par.
Adam Carolla
Right.
Andrew
So that's the stuff they're going to focus on and spend all the hours of the day on not minimizing traffic and helping emissions.
Adam Carolla
Right. So Trump is going to now shame them by doing I love it. And they're going to get super angry.
Andrew
I can't wait to see an update, like 30, 90, 120 days of how many permits have actually been approved and how much is actually moving forward now that this is going to happen. But you know that Newsom and Bass are probably going to push it and find.
Adam Carolla
Well, you know, the funny thing about Bass and Newsom is it's sort of like everything Trump wants, like lower gas prices and close the border. It's like somebody saying, listen, taco truck pulled up in front of the house and this guy wants to give us free tacos. So I'm gonna go get rid of him. And I go, no, no, I want it. I want it. It's not gonna pull any taco truck on my street. I'm gonna go, I'm hungry. No, not on my Watch. And then you go out and start yelling at the guy, and I'm, like, standing behind him going, I like tacos. I want tacos. I want cheaper gas. I want to expedite the permit process. I want the illegal criminals taken out of la. And I know you're gonna fight Trump, but this is shit. I would like. I would think most people would like an expedited permit process.
Andrew
I mean, I think a couple of Republican candidates, including Steve Hilton, are running on, like, the cheaper fuel. Because it turns out most people in California, not just Los Angeles, but in California, have to commute more than 30 miles one way to their job. And so when you're a day worker or you're a small business owner, I mean, of course, costs like fuel are something that cut into your bottom line all the time.
Adam Carolla
You picture. I'll give you an example. All of the guys who are working in Malibu now, there's no working going on where they're building family homes, they're tearing up PCH and lane power lines and digging, whatever. All right? But there's tons and tons of workers. They are mostly all Hispanic. I guarantee not a one of them lives in Malibu. No, no, not even close.
Andrew
Even the white workers in Malibu do not live in Malibu. There's something. Pepperdine did a study. There's a business department. It was like, Public Policy center, and Business Development Department did a study, post the fires of how negatively it affected the Malibu economy. And of the three, I'm, like, rounding numbers here, but, like, of the 3,000 people that actually have jobs in Malibu, something like 2,600 of them commute from the Valley or South LA.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. If you go to a nice restaurant in Malibu and the Mexican busboys clean the table off, it's not like. Like, I live next to David Geffen's place down on Moonlight Drive.
Andrew
Me and Barbra Streisand are neighbors.
Adam Carolla
No, no. They're driving back to Pacoima. So every single dude who's working on PCH in Malibu, not one of them. And I'm not making an exaggeration. I'm saying zero live in Malibu. Most drive trucks. And certainly the equipment and the trucks and they're hauling stuff and they have trailers and everything like that.
Andrew
They're getting 12 miles a gallon at best.
Adam Carolla
At best. And they all live on the other side of the hill. Could be Sun Valley, could be Pacoima, could be Van Nuys, Sherman Oaks, whatever. They're going over the hill. Most all the Mexicans who are doing all the work live in that Area. So they got a long haul in and a long haul back, and gas is five bucks a gallon and they're getting nine miles a gallon. And it's tough and it's affecting them. It does not affect me. I make a ton of money and it's just not a big deal.
Andrew
You're not looking at your fuel budget every month. Like, I think not just Californians, but the average American is you really?
Adam Carolla
If you wanted to help the average lower income or middle class Los Angeles or Californian, you would lower the price of gas?
Andrew
Absolutely.
Adam Carolla
At 1,000% and like a dozen eggs going from four bucks a carton to 289. That's fine. But the gas is a lot every single day, right?
Andrew
Yep.
Adam Carolla
All right.
Andrew
Okay. So this is kind of crazy and scary. And Ilhan Omar, as much as I dislike her, did not deserve to be attacked at this event and needs a new security team. But did you see this video?
Adam Carolla
I did.
Andrew
We have some video here of chaos erupting at a Minnesota town hall where Representative Ilhan Omar was speaking. A man rushed up to the podium and squirted her with. At the time when this TMZ report came out was an unknown substance, but thank God we found it was apple cider. Like, it wasn't acid or anything like that. So let's take a look.
Adam Carolla
Secretary Christine must resign or face resign. Whoa.
Charlotte McKinney
I don't know.
Adam Carolla
By the way, I'm most fascinated in the women who always stand around going, oh, my God. Oh, my God.
Andrew
The reaction.
Adam Carolla
What is happening? And then they start narrating, hey, a guy stood up and he made stuff with. And he spray. Yes, bitch, yes. We're all here. We see.
Andrew
We saw it with our own eyes.
Adam Carolla
Well, what's going on? It's like, okay.
Andrew
I love it when women are like.
Adam Carolla
Did you see that? Did you see what's happening?
Andrew
Did you see that? That is a very large security guy. She needs to have security, like on where that guy is with the blue sweater vest on. She should have had security there. The moment that guy stands up, that, like, that security guy should have tackled him. He was too far away.
Adam Carolla
Ilhan chases the guy.
Andrew
Good for. I would have done the same thing.
Adam Carolla
Feisty, that one.
Andrew
If somebody attacks me, my reaction is to respond in kind. Probably stupid. I need a gun.
Adam Carolla
Because that guy, when somebody, a big dude, starts spraying stuff on me, I would go the other direction.
Andrew
I would think, well, he was kind of running away. It was like a.
Adam Carolla
Her instinct was to move toward him.
Andrew
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
So she's aggressive.
Andrew
Bring it Also that gal, she has some other stuff happening. Apparently her husband's wine company, according to reports, like there is no winery. Their social media hasn't been engaged since like 2023, but somehow their financial holdings have like quadrupled over the last year from like 5 million to roughly 30 million.
Adam Carolla
Yes, yes.
Andrew
So anyway, but then liberals are like, oh, under the Biden doj, they investigated her when it came to Somali fraud and then they stopped the investigation cuz they didn't find anything. And I'm like, maybe they didn't find anything because Tim Waltz and liberal prosecutors within Minnesota were like, nothing to see.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, they're protecting their own for sure. Apple cider vinegar.
Andrew
Oh, it was apple cider vinegar.
Adam Carolla
Apple cider vinegar. It wasn't my thought, but others have floated it and here's the problem.
Andrew
Conspiracy theories.
Adam Carolla
Well, let me explain something. It's sort of like cheating. If a guy gets busted for cheating and then you go to therapy and it's good, it's always on the table and then he comes home and you're like, geez, you, bowling night went a little bit late. Yeah, well, we played some extra frames. Geez, 12:30 at night, huh? You guys usually wrap up about nine. Yeah, we went extra. And then you go, I sent you, called you a couple times, you didn't pick up the phone. Well, you know, I had it, I had it on an airplane mode. And you go, okay, okay. Now it's because he cheated. Now it's always kind of in question, right? And with all these sort of race based hoaxes of the last decade, now we see that. Well, there was a time when if I saw something like this and somebody brought it up and said like, you think this could be staged? I'd go, no.
Andrew
Well, especially because now I go, everything's on the table.
Adam Carolla
You think he's cheating? That's probably bowling. But he did do it before.
Andrew
Especially because most of the time these attacks, this happened to my old colleague Michael Knowles at the Daily Wire. He was at a campus event and somebody like threw a liquid on him, which thank God turned out to be nothing. I think it was dish soap and something else. But like these attacks occur more from the left on the right versus like when's the last time that a leftist politician was assaulted or yelled at in this way, Right? Like it never happened. Like most stable minded conservatives or libertarians are. Not like I'm a go to that Ilhan Omar thing. So I get it. I get the seeds of doubt that are there that can be watered by all of the other conspiracies and all of the other lies that we've been told by those in authority that would make people jump to this was staged, but up.
Adam Carolla
Don't know. Just saying. Also, she wanted to carry on, which I kind of like. But if you had unknown substance sprayed on you, I bet you she could.
Andrew
Smell it was apple cider vinegar. It has a very strong smell.
Adam Carolla
I guess. But in a weird way, you would probably say.
Andrew
I would stop to be like, am I okay?
Adam Carolla
Look? You would go, look, I think I'm okay. Let me go to the bathroom and wash up and kind of talk to my people and see if we can get our heads wrapped around this. And we'll just adjourn for five minutes.
Andrew
Let's see what was in the bottle. Let's do like a little swab test, like TSA agents do. Whenever I carry breast milk on the plane.
Adam Carolla
Yeah.
Andrew
You can tell if it's dangerous or not.
Adam Carolla
I would see, I'm a weirdo. And that I would probably not want to go to the doctor or have it myself checked or anything. I just go, I think I'm okay. It feels good or whatever. But I would definitely go. I don't know if this is goat piss or I don't know what this is.
Andrew
So I'm like, go wash your hands or something.
Adam Carolla
Go wash them. And then if I feel good. Yeah, we'll just come back and pick this up.
Andrew
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
All right.
Andrew
I get that.
Adam Carolla
You get it. All right, let's see how we're doing on time here, Andrews. All right. We're kind of running up against it.
Andrew
Oh, no.
Adam Carolla
I know, I know. It flies by with you, man.
Andrew
When we're having fun.
Adam Carolla
Me and Ruffalo at the Hague, Man, I'm dreaming about that right now. Both sitting there with our earpiece in. Cause they got a translator.
Andrew
Translator.
Adam Carolla
And then at a certain Mark says to me, this is all English. Cause Stephen Miller's English and his attorney's name. I know, but I like the look of the ear thing with the translator.
Andrew
Would you bring over Andrew and Dawson and the whole crew to document it too?
Adam Carolla
I would, but Mark specifically said he did not want that.
Andrew
Oh, I bet you it's. Cause he's gonna document it.
Adam Carolla
He said it's not a four man tub, bro. To quote him. To quote him.
Andrew
Does he like the Epsom salts or the bubbles in the bath?
Adam Carolla
You know, I didn't get into that.
Andrew
Yeah, just pack both.
Adam Carolla
I'm gonna bring both. Cause I may need to take what they call sitz bath after he's done with it.
Andrew
Oh, God.
Adam Carolla
You know what I'm talking about.
Andrew
I do. It's post home birth. PTSD just struck.
Adam Carolla
This is a little different, but you know where I'm going. All right, let's see. Tonight Rodney's doing a live podcast with Anthony Scaramucci and Kyle Dunnigan's gonna be there. And then I'm doing stand up show after that with Craig Robinson and that's at Rodney's in New York City, D.C. i would say first show is sold out.
Andrew
Nice.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, I know. At the Kennedy or Jerome Kennedy center. But the 9 o' clock show, there's some tickets left, so I hear. So you can go to amcroll.com for all that. Charlotte McKinney. She'll come back and say hi to us when her movie comes out. Alicia Krause, op ed for the Washington Examiner. All her great words, so digestible. So until next time, Adam Crawford, Charlotte McKinney and Alicia Krause saying Mahala, you.
Dawson
