Chris Hansen Says We Need the Death Penalty

Summary

Adam Carolla Show: Chris Hansen Says We Need the Death Penalty

Date: March 18, 2026
Guest: Chris Hansen
Main Theme: Crime, predators, the criminal justice system, and societal dysfunction—featuring candid conversation around child predators, the death penalty, politics, and cultural critiques.

---

Episode Overview

Adam Carolla brings investigative journalist Chris Hansen (of To Catch a Predator fame) back in studio for a sometimes dark, always unfiltered, and occasionally comedic conversation. The pair cover explosive topics ranging from the alarming persistence of child predators (especially online), to failed political leadership, the renewal of the death penalty debate, “cancel culture," and the pervasiveness of dysfunctional human nature.

Carolla and Hansen critique not only individuals who engage in criminal or predatory activity, but also the leadership and social systems that allow dysfunction and waste to persist—from politicians allegedly ignoring fraud to the public’s willingness to be misled or manipulated.

Key Discussion Points & Timestamps

1. Chris Hansen’s Latest Investigations: Online Child Predators & The Gaming World

[03:31–04:07]

• Hansen discusses his recent documentary Dangerous Games on the alarming infiltration of child predators into online gaming platforms like Roblox.
  • “It’s shocking, Adam, the level at which predators have infiltrated this gaming platform, Roblox.” (Chris Hansen, [03:44])
• Adam is disheartened by the ubiquity and cyclical nature of evil, equating the resurgence of pedophilia to a bad fashion trend.
  • “The idea that pedophile is back with a vengeance…bell bottoms coming back or something.” (Adam, [03:49])

2. The Enduring Problem of Predators and the “What Are They Thinking?” Phenomenon

[04:42–08:29]

• Adam wonders why so many people make ruinous, self-destructive choices, from petty criminals to terrorists and predators.
• Hansen emphasizes that those engaging in such acts are often seeking belonging or identity and compares the persistent evil to cockroaches—existence defined by repetition.
  • “Cockroach only has one job…that’s what predators and terrorists are, too.” (Hansen, [04:56])
• Hansen recounts the origins of To Catch a Predator—he originally believed there might be no takers, but many showed up, and the problem has only grown.

3. The Death Penalty: When & Why It Matters

[10:33–14:44]

• Adam argues passionately for the targeted use of the death penalty, particularly in clear cases of extreme mass murder or devastating harm to children.
  • “There are things that are ghoulish and they stick in your memory…But when you get into 168 people and children…” (Adam, [13:24])
• They reference Timothy McVeigh (Oklahoma City bomber) as a correct application, contrasting it with cases where guilt is ambiguous or motives are complex.
  • “Tim McVeigh…he deserved the death penalty, and he got it. And we don’t even talk about him anymore…People don’t remember him anymore.” (Adam, [11:47])
• Chris reflects on interviewing all 12 jurors from the McVeigh trial, emphasizing the emotional burden justice can have.
  • “One of the most emotional interviews of my career was having all 12 jurors…they had to be unanimous, which they were.” (Hansen, [12:14])

4. Child Predators: Are They Ever Cured?

[16:10–20:00]

• Hansen describes prison justice for “chomos”—sexual predators—and why victim impact is lifelong, unlike many physical crimes or theft.
• Adam illustrates, with a dark analogy, why true sexual predation is almost never “cured": “You didn’t stop wanting it. You just were deprived of it…but that’s my thing. If you’re into young boys…there’s many more consequences for you. You have to really want it.” ([17:26])
• Both agree: for the most heinous repeat predators, re-offense is virtually assured, and the death penalty is sometimes warranted.
  • “Certain people…should get the death penalty. The longer I do this work, the more I agree…The vast majority…will reoffend.” (Hansen, [15:14])

5. System Failure and Human Nature

[20:18–22:24]

• Adam and Hansen discuss how some crimes irreparably damage victims and the limitations of law or insurance in making things whole.
  • “There’s no insurance for a child’s sexual assault…It is the gift that keeps giving. It never leaves you.” (Adam, [20:36])
• The idea: some evils have ripple effects through generations and society.

6. Dysfunctional Leadership: Climate Change, Politics, and Administrative Blame

[23:15–32:08]

• Adam ridicules LA Mayor Karen Bass for blaming every problem on heat or climate change, drawing on personal stories of life before AC and questioning the selective application of environmental causes.
  • “But also, I never get with her in climate change. Is it just Los Angeles that experiences climate change or is it just California? Or does China have this?” (Adam, [27:10])
• Hansen and Carolla both bemoan the lack of real leadership and good choices in American cities. Why, they ask, do competent private sector people avoid public office? (Theory: scrutiny, vilification, loss of privacy.)
  • “Is it because people don’t want to take a pay cut…we don’t want to go through all the BS of people digging in our garbage?” (Hansen, [32:07])

7. On Human Nature: Fraud, Disability Claims, and Gaming the System

[38:09–40:49]

• The pair discuss systemic fraud in CA’s daycare and education sectors, and how human nature means systems are exploited.
  • “Human nature cannot be trusted. It doesn’t work. The longer we apply the Golden Rule or the Ten Commandments…It’s gone.” (Adam, [39:54])
• Both lament the normalization of "gaming the system"—from fake “service animals” to academic accommodations.

Adam on Tim McVeigh and Justice

On Human Nature’s Limits

• "Can LA be this stupid that we’re going to give her a second run? And I think the answer is yes." ([30:31])

Hansen Summing Up Political Strategies

• "You have an audience who’s willing to suck that information in and accept it, it makes it easier…But in other parts of the country, you have more of a skeptical audience." ([28:09])

---

Politics & Derangement Syndrome [76:00–101:46]

1. Jerry O’Connell & Domestic Political Tension

[73:38–76:00]

• A news story prompts Adam & Chris to riff on marriages “ruined” by political tension and men’s passivity with “liberal” wives.
• Adam: “Whatever household or situation I’m in, I say what I truly think…But I am not going to tuck my tail between my legs. Just shut the fuck up.” ([75:13])

2. Trump, Kamala, and Biden—Comparing Choices

[76:19–79:18]

• Adam rails against what he sees as emotional arguments supporting Democrat politicians over “realistic” policy.
  • “Whatever you think of Trump, let’s not compare Trump to some sort of unicorn candidate that you built in a political lab. Let’s compare Trump to Biden and Kamala Harris…” ([76:19])

3. Gendered Social Dynamics & “Cancel Culture”

[91:11–95:21]

• Adam makes comedic but pointed gender generalizations about men and women’s social wiring—men can dislike, but admit virtues; women, once they hate, never forgive.
  • “Let me tell you what women do. …Once someone is bad, they’re bad. So you’re a bad guy because you don’t want kids to get 85 injections…Fine. But at a certain point…bitch, you gotta give it up…” ([93:15])

4. On Cancel Culture and Public Criticism

[80:29]

• Hansen: “So many comics do not want to post anything nowadays because they are afraid of the wrath they’re going to feel from liberal women. It’s awful.”
• Carolla: "Here's the California household: Listen, my wife's nuts. Her ideas suck and they're gonna ruin the house. But I don't wanna get into a fucking argument. She's gonna start crying..." ([80:37])

---

Lighter Segments: Food, Coffee, and Social Observations

1. American Food Culture

[54:47–62:05]

• Adam and Chris complain that LA has no good German or Hungarian food ("chicken paprikash"), despite a million options for other cuisines.
  • “Every human being I met as an adult have two things in common. They've never eaten Hungarian food, and never heard of the band the Jayhawks.” (Adam, [55:47])

2. On Coffee Culture

[65:59–71:51]

• Adam lampoons Malibu’s upscale coffee shops and their narcissistic customers for ordering complicated drinks, making everyone wait, and suggests a "just coffee" express line.

---

Closing Thoughts

Takeaways:

• Both hosts express deep cynicism about the capacity of modern leadership (in politics and business) to address real problems.
• They argue that certain crimes—especially those against children—should carry more severe consequences, including the death penalty.
• Carolla is combative about cultural and political topics, with both speakers expressing exasperation at the way ideology often trumps solutions and how society is primed for grift and dysfunction.
• The lighter half of the episode includes gripes about American food trends, car and coffee culture, and everyday social incompetence.

The true crime TV network, True Blue, and also the documentary Dangerous Games. We can find that on True Blue.

[Tim Walls]

Watch trueblue.com. yeah, we worked on that for six or seven months. And I tell you, it's shocking, Adam, the level at which predators have infiltrated this gaming platform. Roblox.

[Adam Carolla]

Yes.

[Tim Walls]

Which is one of the most popular, if not the most popular in the world.

[Adam Carolla]

I am so saddened by just, you know, like Epstein and just all the idea that pedophile is back with a vengeance. It's like bell bottoms coming back or something. Some fashion that you thought was gone.

[Tim Walls]

I guess it's job security for a guy like me.

[Adam Carolla]

Yes.

[Tim Walls]

We've got Epstein survivors on frequently on my podcast. Have a seat with Chris Hansen. And the fact that we're still digging in this thing and the files, I mean, you can sit there and I do this sometimes on a Saturday. And I've got this whole thing indexed so I can look at whosever name I want. You can go down a rabbit hole for hours and hours at a time. And it's not even my primary beat this thing, you know, There are other reporters whose only job it is to look at the Epstein case.

[Adam Carolla]

It's just. It's sad in the world, I guess, globally, cosmically. It just saddens me that there's so many people. I mean, I feel the same way about terrorists. You know what I mean? Like, why are there so many?

[Tim Walls]

Why do you have to do it? It's like the cockroach. The cockroach only has one job every day. It's to be the cockroach. Well, that's what predators and terrorists are, too.

[Adam Carolla]

I get it. But in a world where there's a kind of a base, like, everyone wants to live.

[Tim Walls]

Right.

[Adam Carolla]

No one wants to give up their freedom.

[Tim Walls]

Correct.

[Adam Carolla]

Nobody wants to get a pager from Israel that blows their nutsack off. Right. Nobody wants to be droned or hit with a hellfire missile. Everyone wants a family, a cocktail, a show they enjoy, a sports car. Like, I feel these things are so universal. And yet these pursuits, whether it's pedophilia or whether it's joining a terrorist organization, are so antithetical to that.

[Tim Walls]

Well, they are to the vast majority of us. But to your point, I am shocked as well. Right. We've been doing the Predator series, either To Catch a Predator, Hanson vs. Predator, or Takedown, which is what we call it today for 22 years now. Right now, if you had asked me In March of 2004, when we went to Long island, rented a house, no law enforcement involved, and said, what's going to happen if we have Perverted justice, the online watchdog group, put their decoys in chat rooms and pose as kids. And back then we had chat rooms in AOL and Yahoo and maybe that antiquated platform, you may recall, called MySpace. That was it. What's gonna happen? Part of me thought nothing was gonna happen, that I had just blown $50,000 of NBC's money. But 17 guys showed up in two and a half days and it's not stopped. We were in Louisiana last week. We uncovered a human trafficking plot by two illegal immigrants from Honduras and guys who were in the military. Their colleagues are fighting for freedom in Iran and this guy is trying to hook up with a 15 year old girl mechanic at the Air Force base in New Orleans. I mean, it's shocking. Guy walked in stripped down to his underwear. All of this in one sting over three days.

[Adam Carolla]

Adam, I'm amazed. I'm also amazed at people who wrestle with cops. The cops, guns are drawn. No, I guess all of it falls under the heading of what are you thinking? And if you don't want to get shot and you don't want to go to prison, and you do want the sports car and the cocktail and the big screen TV set, this is not the direction to go. But yet so many, although I notice it even in a kind of white collar version of it, like a non criminal version of it. Everybody that I've crossed paths with who didn't work out, who, the business didn't work or whatever, the relationship, it didn't work. It's all stuff they kind of brought on themselves. It was all avoidable. Forget about me. You take a guy like Jimmy Kimmel. Jimmy's very loyal in that if you work for Jimmy, you work for Jimmy forever and he feels obligated to take care of you for the rest of his life. Unless you go into his office and call him a douchebag, in which case you're gone, I'm out of there. And then many people never find their way back to anything. And I'm like, why did you do that?

[Tim Walls]

Well, you're the author of your own demise.

[Adam Carolla]

That's right.

[Tim Walls]

And you see a pattern here. Whether it's the predator or the terrorist, these guys are looking for a set of people who will accept them. Right? They're looking for belonging Tim McVeigh, lost at everything he did in life until he met Terry Nichols. And they decided, we're going to do something bigger than America. We're gonna blow up the Oklahoma City Federal Building. The hijackers on 9 11. Well, you know, we're disenfranchised, we're alienated. We're gonna create an enemy, and that's the United States. And we're gonna hit them where it counts. And then we're gonna go off to meet allah and our 70 almond eyed virgins.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, I mean, McVeigh, I've been to where the building was in Oklahoma.

[Tim Walls]

I covered that. I was there that night.

[Adam Carolla]

There was some. First off, you know, give the devil his due. Boy, that guy knew how to make a bomb. The guys who chucked the bombs into the crowd in front of Mendame's place were not good at that. Then there was another guy who was trying to take down the World Trade Center. He blew up a van in 1993, which didn't take down the Trade center. But holy shit, McVeigh and that Ryder rental truck. Holy crap. Was that thing an. I mean, it literally took the face

[Tim Walls]

off a federal building, right?

[Adam Carolla]

It did something. There's some statistic.

[Tim Walls]

169 people killed.

[Adam Carolla]

Insane. There's some statistic that, like the axle from the truck was found like five miles away or something.

[Tim Walls]

It wasn't five miles away.

[Adam Carolla]

It was such a crazy.

[Tim Walls]

That's how they. They cracked the case initially, right? To get the VIN number, the number off the axle, trace it back to the rental car agency, figure out that McVeigh and Nichols rented the thing. And then they were at an APB out and he's driving his yellow Mercury Marquis on the highway, right? They pull him over, he's got a loaded, you know, clock in the car, but he doesn't pull it on the cops and they arrest him. They didn't know who they had for the first few hours.

[Adam Carolla]

By the way, for those who fight me on the death penalty, first things first. Every poor black guy who gets fingered by some old woman who says he robbed the liquor store and the guy's dead. I don't need that guy put to death.

[Tim Walls]

No.

[Adam Carolla]

If there's gray area.

[Tim Walls]

No.

[Adam Carolla]

If you take out 160 something, including a preschool, right? Well, then I need you put down number one.

[Tim Walls]

No problem with that.

[Adam Carolla]

Number two, I don't need you in the system for 45 years painting clowns and penning biographies, autobiographies and being interviewed by Geraldo. I just want you put down. And McVeigh, they just put him down. And there is no. Right now, McVeigh, who was. You would know. Probably his late 20s, early 30s when he did this.

[Tim Walls]

I think he was late 20s, I

[Adam Carolla]

believe McVeigh would be younger than us. He'd be suing the penal system for some sort. He'd be transitioning. He'd be undergoing a sex. He'd be suing the state for not transitioning.

[Tim Walls]

The time of his life sentence. He'd be in the wheel in Colorado next year.

[Adam Carolla]

He'd be zoomed in to Rogan's show this weekend. He'd be selling paintings. God knows he'd be sending out demonic things during his conspiracies. Conspiracies we'd have to deal with. Plus we'd have to pay, right? Or we'll just take him out and he's done. He deserved the death penalty and he got it. And we don't even talk about him anymore. People don't remember him anymore.

[Tim Walls]

One of the most emotional interviews of my career was having all 12 jurors in that case all lined up for one interview. Really got the call from the producer on a Friday night. We've got two. I said, we got two. We got a story. By the time I get there, we had eight, then 10, we had 11. And right before we were to roll tape, the 12th guy walked in.

[Adam Carolla]

Sorry, what year was this?

[Tim Walls]

95 was the bombing.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh really?

[Tim Walls]

It was 97 by the time it went to trial and the jury had to vote on the death penalty in that case, which they did, and they had to be unanimous, which they were. But that case, I'd just been at the network for two years at the time. So it was one of my first big stories that transcended beyond Dateline into Nightly News and standing next to Tom Brokaw and really being involved in the day to day coverage of what then was the. Arguably one of the biggest tragedies in our history. I mean, Pearl harbor than that until 9, 11.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, I mean, look, there are things that are ghoulish and they stick in your memory. Sort of Manson stuff, writing with blood, pregnant woman and stuff. But at the end of the day when you end up Sharon Tate and Folger and LaBianca and stuff, you still end up with seven people or eight people or whatever it is. The count is the count of a bad RV accident or something like that. Medium sized plane crash, horrible, tragic, smaller plane crash, right? But when you get into 168 people and children, right?

[Tim Walls]

I mean, I Can remember to this day the image of a firefighter carrying the limp body of a child trying to rescue.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, like the daycare center was on, like, the third. It's too bad.

[Tim Walls]

Yeah, on the first floor of that federal building.

[Adam Carolla]

It's too bad it wasn't a daycare center that was run by Somalians. There would have been no kids in there. Just a couple Somalian guys smoking, trying to lease a Mercedes hookah pipe or something. By the way, on my screen is written he was executed June 11, 2021, which cannot be possible.

[Tim Walls]

No, it was before that.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, it was long before that. But maybe there was a typo. Oh, 2001. Now that.

[Tim Walls]

Now that makes sense, because they still had the appeals.

[Adam Carolla]

Right.

[Tim Walls]

And he was still held in that, I believe, in that underground prison in Colorado is where they kept it.

[Adam Carolla]

Right. Tim McVeigh infamously said when he received the death penalty, that would make it. That would make the score168.1, meaning he's won. But he got 168 souls, which makes him. But I guess we knew that on the way in. Right.

[Tim Walls]

It's like the death penalty for people who commit crimes against children. And I think in certain extreme circumstances, there should be the death penalty. I was, you know, I think I come around to this. I've just seen too much damage from predators to children. And, you know, we work with Grady Judd in Florida, the sheriff of Polk county, and as well as, you know, sheriffs and a dozen other counties around the country, and more come online every month. But he is of the opinion that the death penalty is the only way to deal with a hardcore child predator. And the longer I do this work, the more I agree with him that certain people, and the vast majority of them will reoffend. And you see these guys in the prison setting, I mean, they get their own jail. Yard justice.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, right.

[Tim Walls]

I was talking to a guy the other day who told me a great story. So he was doing federal time for drug dealing, and they would figure out pretty quickly when a predator. Yes, a chomo, as they nicknamed them, came in. And they used to run the reruns on MSNBC of the original predator series

[Adam Carolla]

in the TV room.

[Tim Walls]

A big prison population, very popular in prisons. And so knowing that they had a chomo in the group, they would put it on the predator series and the marathon, and they would then hide the remote so it couldn't be changed. So this guy was getting pilloried by the other prisoners.

[Adam Carolla]

Pilloried. I bet they used that word. The corpse of the blood Said, let's pillory this fella. Yeah, well, okay, I agree. You have to really think about it this way. And I do. For some reason. A thought ran through my mind the other day. If you are somebody and your sexual proclivities are you like big titties or you're an ass man, or you like blondes and then someone locks you up somewhere for 20 years when you get out, guess who wants some titties? Or a blonde like you just want what you wanted. Exactly.

[Tim Walls]

And that's the problem with a hard character, right?

[Adam Carolla]

But let's move it out of the realm of the criminal for a second. You just go, this guy's a vegan, okay? He's a vegan. You lock him up for 10 years. He gets out, he eats some tofurkey. I like steak and a martini. And if you locked me away for 10 years, when I got out, the first place I'd go is the Morton's to get myself a steak and a martini. Because you didn't. I didn't stop wanting it. I just was deprived of it. I couldn't have it, but that's my thing. And I always argued that if you're into young boys or young. Whatever it is you're into, you're into it more than a guy who's into big titties because there's many more consequences for you.

[Tim Walls]

You have to really want it, right?

[Adam Carolla]

So how are we going to cure you?

[Tim Walls]

I don't think it can be cured.

[Adam Carolla]

Right, so. And also, in a weird way, you're almost doing them a bit of a favor by putting them down because their life has to just be a tormented mess.

[Tim Walls]

Look, I understand, and I'm not a shrink and all that, but I've come face to face with hundreds and hundreds of these guys. Now there are some younger guys who are opportunists who may not be stone cold pedophiles who surface in our investigations, right? They're gonna take advantage of a 14 or 15 year old girl and they'll have all kinds of reasons why, you know, they will never do it again. Now, I hear this a lot. I think, sure, 80% of the time it's bullshit. But there are guys who have been caught, done their time, and they've never reoffended. But the vast majority, I mean, if you've got somebody who actually physically abuses a child, whether it's their own child, somebody they know or a stranger, you have to deal with that at a whole different level. Because the risk of reoffending and what does that do to a child's life. I walk through airports every day. I'm out in public almost every day. And without exception, somebody comes up and tells me their story about how they were sexually abused as a child and how every time they see me jack one of these guys up, they feel a sense of justice.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, okay.

[Tim Walls]

And so, you know, these stories are not just obviously they're powerful, they're interesting. People like the dark humor of it. It's entertaining. Right. These stories, as I said, are as old as the Bible. Good versus evil. And on the streaming network, I get to lean into that more aggressively. But we do it so it doesn't happen anymore. Or so these guys get locked up.

[Adam Carolla]

I'll put a even finer point on it, which is there are crimes like theft when they steal your laptop and you don't like it, but you get a new laptop or somebody stole your catalytic converter or even punched you.

[Tim Walls]

The insurance covers that. There's no insurance for a child's sexual

[Adam Carolla]

assault even minus that. It's just shit happens. Whatever the. When someone is sexually assaulted as a minor especially, that affects the rest of their life. For their entire life, they can't get that back. Yeah. And it's also, I mean, if you're saying, what did this guy do? Well, this guy got drunk and he punched you and it's like, all right, but you healed up and you're fine. And that guy can still go out to the bar, not look over his shoulder, not worried about it. But if you are sexually abused as a minor especially, it is the gift that keeps giving. It never leaves you. It affects your relationships. It affects. You may go on to violate somebody because of this.

[Tim Walls]

It's a possibility.

[Adam Carolla]

And there's so much that goes along with it that it's essentially how they have certain statutes for hate crimes. This is a hate crime. You're doing this to a five year old. And that five year old is not gonna be right long after whatever the w wounds heel. The person will never be right. And they will tack stuff on. Well, they'll go like, well, you punch this Asian guy, that's assault. But also you yell, this is for World War II or whatever. And now it's a hate crime. Now we know there was an enhancement to you. An enhancement. Right. So I feel the same way about all this stuff. And also we get a little nutty with the death penalty. My thing is like, let's just go case by case, you know, Tim McVeigh, you're gone. Young black guy got sucked into drugs in a gang and made a mistake with the liquor store and the gun went off. You're not right. That's easy.

[Tim Walls]

Do your time. Get out.

[Adam Carolla]

So I have a couple thoughts that don't involve this, but I have a clip that made me laugh, which was our mayor, Karen Bass was talking about how hot it was. I. They always laugh. It's unseasonably hot in LA and they have to give these, they have to give these PSAs about what to do when it's hot.

[Tim Walls]

The cooling center.

[Adam Carolla]

You got to drink water, you know. Do not wrap yourself in foil and lay on the roof of your building. You know what I mean? Do not rub Vaseline all over your body and then wrap yourself in foil and then go up to the roof like they always do it, which is weird. By the way. These cooling centers at the park, I really have no idea how this works.

[Tim Walls]

Send them to the Upper peninsula of Michigan. They'll get cold. It's about nine feet of snow up there right now.

[Adam Carolla]

I would like to show up to the cooling center at the park and find out what went wrong with everyone's life. I feel the same way about the 73 year old guy who works at Home Depot. I just want to go, what happened? Yeah, something happened. But this is Karen Bass, by the way. She doesn't have pressers to talk about permitting in the Palisade. She has pressers for being warm here.

[Tim Walls]

It is triple digits across a huge part of la.

[Commercial Announcer]

It can lead to heat stroke.

[Adam Carolla]

Plan on having plenty of water to drink. Heat, heat, heat. Plenty of apartments and housing that have no air conditioning because frankly, we didn't need it. Heat, heat, heat. Until the last few years as global warming has impacted our city. All right, you're gonna stop it right there. First off, bitch. I grew up in the San Fernando Valley. We did not have air conditioning and I fried in. I grew up like Cool Hand Luke in a sweat box just eating hard boiled eggs and sweating with George Kennedy above me.

[Tim Walls]

One air conditioner in our entire house.

[Adam Carolla]

Yes.

[Tim Walls]

When it got that hot. And again, this is Michigan, so it's different. But we would all go into my parents bedroom, the dog. Everybody, everybody watch the little Magnavox television.

[Adam Carolla]

Yes. Yeah, it was cool, it was funny. On the floor was actually, we had one. It was in the den where the TV was. But there wasn't enough room to sleep in there. But you could. And it was my stepdad's room. Don't even ask. Don't even ask why. My stepdad and my mom had two separate Rooms, I don't want to know. But John had the air conditioner in his room, which was also the den, so. And we would also sit on his bed to watch tv.

[Tim Walls]

Sure.

[Adam Carolla]

Which is. Most people would be uncomfortable, but. Okay. Things were different. Just the way it was, but the way it was. My grandparents had one. You'd have one window mount, you'd have to put it in your bedroom because that's where you slept. And then tough luck for anyone else who had to sleep somewhere. Dr. Drew used to tell me that when he was in Massachusetts at Amherst, they had one with like the three guys living in the school housing or whatever, and they would build like trough flume tents to like channel it over this. Yeah. Hang a sheet and put some cardboard and just try to get it moving toward the bedroom.

[Tim Walls]

In college.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, Drew had one.

[Tim Walls]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

We had none of that. But the whole point is Karen Bass is chalking this up to climate change. But here's the deal. Like I said, I grew up in the San Fernando Valley. I grew up in the 70s. It was brutal, especially in the summer, but it was hot all the time. It wasn't a climate change thing. They didn't build houses with air conditioning because they didn't have the technology for central air, they didn't have the money for it, and so on and so forth. But also, I never get with her in climate change. Is it just Los Angeles that experiences climate change or is it just California? Or does China have this. Why are we always a recipient of climate change in LA but no other places? Nevada and Arizona don't seem to be affected by it. Or they are, but we don't care. Or how does this work? We act like we can dictate to the globe what the climate is from Santa Monica, California, if we just stop using plastic straws.

[Tim Walls]

It's politics, it's an agenda. It's what Xi and so many other members of that party are pushing. And I'm shocked. Right. And I spend a fair amount of time out here, but I'm also in New York a lot. I'm in the Midwest a lot. Our primary home is in Michigan. I'm just shocked at the difference in a news conference with a politician like that, as opposed to somebody who's more moderate and trying to. Now I have a presence in New York too. I see the craziness that goes on there.

[Adam Carolla]

Right.

[Tim Walls]

But it's. Let's solve the problem.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, the other thing too is, right, you blame. Okay, so the whole city burnt down because of climate change, because we had A fire?

[Tim Walls]

No, it's because they didn't manage the land and they didn't respond to the crisis. Because you were in Africa at a cocktail party.

[Adam Carolla]

Right. But wouldn't it be convenient to be able to blame everything on climate change if you were, in fact,

[Tim Walls]

have an audience who's willing to suck that information in and accept it? It makes it easier. I think in other parts of the country, you have more of a skeptical audience. They say, well, wait a minute.

[Adam Carolla]

Right.

[Tim Walls]

That's not what happened here. Well, what happened here is you didn't deal with it as a leader of this community.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, I'm gonna just put it back on them. By the way, she is the odds on favorite to win the election for mayor again. She let the city burnt down, but we're going with it, which is insane.

[Tim Walls]

I'm slowing against you.

[Adam Carolla]

Bringing up speed here is insane. Oh, Nithya Raman, who's worse? Actually, I do think Nithya Raman could be worse. Spencer Pratt, who I think we'll have in here pretty soon. All right, so here, let's just put it to you this way. I'll simplify it this way. Chris Hansen, Climate change. Let's go ahead and say we live in a world of climate change in Los Angeles. Fine. We're an earthquake country as well. And I used to do earthquake rehab work, and we now build houses with that in mind. And when an earthquake hits, nothing happens because we figured out the environment and we mitigated the things. And Rick Caruso sprayed his shopping center down with foam two days before the fires kicked in because he knew something and he prepared. You go to New Orleans, they have seawalls, they're below sea levels, but they build a seawall and then they can have. Well, they responded to nature. Yeah, right. So what I'm saying is if there is, you know, Las Vegas, couldn't be Las Vegas without air conditioning, but now they got air conditioning and now they got Las Vegas, so. So if there's a situation and it's climate change, well, then that's a reality and we're living with it. So let's manage the forest based on the climate change and let's. Let's get the water into the reservoirs based on the. Like, now that we know it, let's go do something about it.

[Tim Walls]

Be proactive.

[Adam Carolla]

Proactive, which is kind of your job as an offender.

[Tim Walls]

That's her only job.

[Adam Carolla]

That's her only job. Can LA be this stupid that we're gonna give her a second run? And I think the answer Is. Yes. Which is kind of insane if you

[Tim Walls]

look at the lack of choices. And this is what astounds me. Right. And I don't always profess to be the most knowledgeable guy on politics. I cover crime and all the things, you know, I cover. But I watch it very close, and it's stunning to me, the lack of good choices for leadership in major. I mean, look at New York. That's true. The vote for Zoran.

[Adam Carolla]

Yep.

[Tim Walls]

Was as much for him because he was able to manipulate social media and get young people to say, oh, there's a friendly face. He's smiling, he's doing funny tiktoks. And you got Cuomo, who's the angry man who's still bitter that he got, you know, boosted from the governor's job.

[Adam Carolla]

Right.

[Tim Walls]

And it was as much of a anti Cuomo referendum, I think, as it was a pro Mamdani. And then who else is out there? Well, you had Adams couldn't cut it because he was over his head from the first term. And you've got, you know, a guy in a red beret.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. Right.

[Tim Walls]

Nice fellow.

[Adam Carolla]

Seems like it.

[Tim Walls]

But it's, you know, where is. Where is Bloomberg again? Where is that guy? He's run a major company and can do the job.

[Adam Carolla]

I concur.

[Tim Walls]

I mean, why are there such.

[Adam Carolla]

I agree.

[Tim Walls]

Is it because people don't want to take a pay cut who have big jobs, or is it we don't want to go through all the BS of people digging around in our garbage, which is. You know what?

[Adam Carolla]

I think it's that I think they're. Here's what I think. I think there are people who think, I don't want to put my family through this because it's coming and there's going to be rooting through the garbage. And by the way, There's three options in the root through the garbage or why one wouldn't want to expose themselves to scrutiny. One is you actually did things like Bill Cosby, you know, like, there's real shit, there's real bad stuff out there, Weinstein, whatever it is, like real stuff. You embezzled from your company. All right, there's that. Then there's everyone else who's basically like, I don't want you to look through my search history on my phone because I may be embarrassed by it, but it's basically.

[Tim Walls]

I just don't want to deal with the noise of it.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, it's like, look, look. Every human being, It's a wiring. Every human being goes to the toilet once a Day, sits down on the toilet. I don't know, three times a week, once a day or whatever. No one does it with the door open. No one wants anyone to walk in. By the way, the person that walks in private time, who's catching you taking a dump took a dump an hour earlier. So we just. And people go, oh, my God, so embarrassing. It's so embarrassed if they went. So that's how we're wired. So we don't want anyone looking into the part that kind of makes us human. And there's gonna be some tweets or some ex girlfriend or a situation with an estranged. Whatever lives.

[Tim Walls]

You know, what interests me about the New York situation is that Trump has maintained a relationship with the mayor of New York. Now, they couldn't be more diametrically opposed in terms of their feelings about finances and the economy and money, credit and banking. But Trump obviously sees something in Zorin that he identifies with. He has him to the White House, and they have access to each other at a level that is uncharacteristic for a socialist and a capitalist to have. So he obviously understands there's some charismatic element to the mayor of New York that he relates to because he's a charismatic guy. He's a brand of his own. So is Zoran.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, yeah. No, I agree. Zoran's.

[Tim Walls]

And I think that dynamic is interesting to me.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, I don't wanna shoot holes in the theory, but there's a couple things. Trump has so much real estate in New York that to really declare a fatwa on the mayor of New York when you own that much real estate, part of his business, absolutely kind of be nuts. I also think Trump is, as much as people think he's a bull in a china shop, is not. There's more finesse.

[Tim Walls]

I'm not criticizing him. I'm giving him credit for understanding the complicated dynamic.

[Adam Carolla]

I agree. But he does a thing where he's like. He doesn't intentionally alienate people he might need or use. He can say whatever he wants about AOC because, fine, who cares? Even when he's talking about Keir Starmer of England, he'll do a thing where he'll go, I don't like all the windmills. I don't like the green energy. He's got to get back on the fuel and the fossil fuel, and his immigration policies are horrible, and he's destroying Europe with his policies. But he's a good dude. He's a good dude, but other than that, he's a good dude and he's a good dude.

[Tim Walls]

He'll have him at his state dinner.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, he's like family. I like. I think. I hear he's a good. Seems nice. You know, he tries to keep some sort of thread, some connective tissue to the person where he can go. Bad policy. But a good dude, I can work with him. It'll get him to pick up the phone kind of thing where if you just go full fatwa, then you can't. Yeah, well, I'm putting in Zoro.

[Tim Walls]

No, but it's a good way to put it. That's exactly what it would be.

[Adam Carolla]

And I think.

[Tim Walls]

And that's what he does if it's somebody who he really dislikes.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, there is a part of life where if you're an employee and you're kind of marginal, but the boss likes you, you're going to hang around for a while. If you're marginal in a douche, they can't wait. They can't wait to get rid of you. You know what I mean? And people. It won't get you into the corner office, but it'll buy you a year of employment while the boss wrestles with. God, he's such a fuck up. But he's a dice. He brought me a donut the other day. Literally just a couple of donuts. The other thing speaking of this that I thought was funny was Newsom was attacking Nick Shirley, who's now. So Nick Shirley has now set his sights on LA and he's going after all the daycare and all the hospice care and all that stuff. And the stats are a little hard to argue with that one building in Pacoima has 43 hospices in it. But the building's single story, like, weird. So some insane thing like, you know, LA or California is, you know, 50% of the country of, you know, Medicaid is spent here on whatever, like autism treatment. Right, right. So. Okay.

[Tim Walls]

I'm working on a similar.

[Adam Carolla]

You are?

[Tim Walls]

Oh, yeah, no, we're. Next time I. Come on. Yeah, I mean, it's.

[Adam Carolla]

Give us a little preview.

[Tim Walls]

It's to catch a fraudster.

[Adam Carolla]

Right. All right, so the point is, California and LA may have more of this than the rest of the country combined,

[Tim Walls]

but it's in a lot of places.

[Adam Carolla]

It's everywhere. Well, here's what it is. And I wanna just make sure everyone knows this. Every airport you go to has dogs in the airport because it is a system and people exploit it and they wanna travel with their dogs for free. And you put it out there and you invented something called A spectrum. You know what I mean? And I got two kids, and everyone knows their kids foibles. And if somebody says to me, listen, are your kids on the spectrum of autism? And I'd go, nah. You know, son closes his eyes when he talks sometimes, but I don't know, whatever. No, I don't think so. And they went, you sure? Because I could get you 1,500 bucks a month if I go now. They're on the spectrum.

[Tim Walls]

Have you heard about this at colleges now? Oh, yeah, because they give these kids. These kids claim the grades, you know, a problem with, you know, processing information or taking tests, and I need 45 extra minutes, and I need a calculator or this help or a guide human to help me through the test. I mean, when did. Where does it end?

[Adam Carolla]

Well, it doesn't.

[Tim Walls]

I'm sure that I had some sort of, you know, dopey, chubby Chris Hansen, you know, didn't pick up math right away. Well, do you categorize that as a learning problem, or do you just need to buckle down?

[Adam Carolla]

Well, here's a. Here's a better effing study. Yes, I agree. No. So here's.

[Tim Walls]

I just had to buckle down in f study. I'm not saying that applies across the board, and kids do have disabilities, but it has gotten so far out of control.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, here's what it is. Human nature cannot be trusted. It doesn't work. I wish it did. No longer we apply the Golden Rule or the Ten Commandments or whatever religion did. It's gone. So what I'm saying is, if you said to your average student, look, everyone gets an hour to do the final, but you'll get an hour and a half to do the final. But if you're a Gemini. But we don't check, right? So if you are a Gemini, then write down. What percentage of people would just write down, I'm a Gemini now, who are they? Are they criminals? Are they liars? Are they whatever? No, they're just humans who would do it.

[Tim Walls]

A choice and an opportunity to do better and game the system. 90% of people are gonna take the choice to game the system, especially in a college environment.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, I'm reminded of a weird story, but it was funny. Like, I remember I was with my grandmother a million years ago when I was a kid. And my grandmother used to. She worked for the VA and they'd have some weird symposium up north in the Bay Area or something, and Big Sur or something once a year, they basically said, go to this place and hang out and it's really. You're not gonna get anything done. But it's a meeting. But it's just an excuse to go out of town for two days and go somewhere nice. Cause you gotta work at the va. And we would go with her every once in a while. And it was a restaurant, it was called the Big Sur Inn. Dawson. It's the Big Sur Inn still there. And my childhood was so deprived of any pleasure that literally going to the Big Sur Inn was circled on my calendar seven months before we went there. Like, I literally was like, I'm gonna order a pork chop and clam chowder. And clam chowder to Big Sur Ann. It was a big deal, you know.

[Tim Walls]

Oh yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

And we were driving from the motel we're in to the Big Sur Ann. And my grandmother, who was cheap but enjoyed drinking some wine with dinner, but would not spend the $6 for the glass of wine, would bring her own bottle and get it decorked that she bought at Trader Joe's, you know. And we're driving to the Big Suran and my grandmother goes, oh man, I forgot the whine. And she hooks a U turn and she gets pulled over by a cop. And the cop goes, I need your driver's license. Which my grandmother evidently left next to the bottle of wine back at the motel, right? And I'm sitting in the backseat and moments earlier my grandmother goes, where's the wine? We don't have the wine. I'm turning around and she hooks a U turn, pulls in, the cop says, I need your id. And my grandmother goes, I don't have my id. I just discovered that. So I turned around to go back to get the ID and I just sat as a nine year old going, I guess this is what people do. This is pretty slick when you're trying to get out of something and that's human. And my grandma's not a criminal. No, but she's a human.

[Tim Walls]

But if you understand the way it works, I mean, I watched my dad years ago, you know, get pulled over in Chicago and tuck a finski with his driver's license and have a good day.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh God, the missiles. The Big Sur in is still.

[Tim Walls]

Is it still there?

[Adam Carolla]

Still there. I mean, the Big Sur in. We're going on, you know, year 65 of the big Sur in, see if they still got that pork chop. It's a nice website on that web. So yeah, it was the biggest deal in the world. We get to go out to dinner to a place that has a pork chop and it's got A name. So that's what humans do. But the governor of California is attacking the person that's uncovering the fraud in his state, which is weird because. And it's from the Governor's office or from the Governor Newsom's press office. And it's a picture of Nick looking demented with camera strapped all to him, saying, can I see your kids? It's the weirdest. I mean, it's also sad. It's also kind of beneath newsome and it's also a little disgusting.

[Tim Walls]

Why do you not? And the same thing happened with Roblox, right? This documentary people can see and watch. True Blue. I had multiple phone calls with the Chief security Officer and the press people. I said, just sit down for an interview. No, we don't want to take part in it. You've got people in there who are critical of us. People will always be critical of multi billion dollar corporations. But the smart ones like Boeing say, yeah, come to the factory. We're going to show you how we build a 737. See, it's very complicated. It's all right there. And while we don't think the anomaly you're reporting on caused a fatal crash, we understand it's of concern. And this is what we're doing to fix it. And once we give you the big tour of the factory and how we build the plane, we're gonna sit down and talk to you about it. And we're gonna thank you for bringing your concerns and this information forward. And we're gonna incorporate that in our safety strategy. But instead, the arrogance of what you just pointed out as well as what I've just pointed out is astounding to me because it's not smart. Nick, thanks for coming by, even if you didn't mean it. If you were the Governor of California, you'd say, you know what? Why don't you bring your findings to me and we'll talk about it. What is the harm there? As opposed to creating a battle that is unnecessary, right? Make the reporter your friend. Well, take that back. Don't even make him your friend. But be smart. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We work on this constantly to make it as safe as possible. And Chris, remember this. It's not Roblox committing these crimes. It's the predators. Yeah, yeah, done. That's the interview. That's the part that's gonna play. If he had done the same thing with Nick, surely that would play so much better, don't you think? I mean, where's the common sense in this. Who's advising this governor?

[Adam Carolla]

It's a weird thing. The same thing happened with Doge and Musk. It's like, look, there's billions of dollars of waste. The first thing we should all agree upon is to get rid of the waste. Nobody says I want to take food out of hungry kids mouths and I want grandma to expire because she can't get health insurance. That's what nobody wants. But we don't want waste. So let's at least agree on that. Except for they burnt down Tesla dealerships and went after big balls and Elon became a pariah. And then Tim Walls was so busy going after Trump and Nick Shirley and all this. Look, here's the deal. If someone's running a fraudulent daycare center, then you should be the first person who wants to know about that as the governor. If they're not, then they can carry on. There's no consequence.

[Tim Walls]

Usually it's spelled properly. Properly word learning.

[Adam Carolla]

That's right.

[Tim Walls]

I mean, that was what a classic moment. I remember as a young reporter uncovering a lot of the stuff in the city of Detroit. And it reminded me, that moment of so much of the work I did back then. And it was just, I mean, what more could you say?

[Adam Carolla]

The leering center, I mean, it says it all.

[Tim Walls]

I mean, who, who. But who could not notice that?

[Adam Carolla]

What I don't get other people besides

[Tim Walls]

Nick Shirley had to notice that before Nick Shirley blew the whistle on it.

[Adam Carolla]

What I never get is even though I know you hate Nick and you look at him as Trump supporter and whatever it is, what about the optics? Like you, at least as the governor, have to go. I am appalled by ways of.

[Tim Walls]

Thank you for pointing this out. Nick Shirley.

[Adam Carolla]

That's right.

[Tim Walls]

Do you have anything else that we should look at? How about that?

[Adam Carolla]

Right? But instead we're going to attack. Yeah, you're gonna attack a young creepy, by the way, which is insane. But it's also pointed out some shocking things the way.

[Tim Walls]

And good for him also, aren't we

[Adam Carolla]

at a budget deficit? Don't we want to finish our bullet train? What about the kids and the schools and the underfunding? We never have enough money, so thank the person that frees up the cash. It could go toward the children.

[Tim Walls]

Good stuff.

[Adam Carolla]

Instead we're going to attack him, which again is basically Trump derangement syndrome, which is you can disagree about this, that and the other, but there's certain things you disagree upon just because it's Trump. And if that's everything, let's go micro let's say you have a bad relationship and you and your wife disagree on tons of stuff. So this guy wants to go out, he wants to buy a new Harley, fully dressed at the dealer, $27,000. And you go, that's a death machine. We don't have the money. And I disagree with that. And then at some point he goes, I want to go to Baja and go marlin fishing for two weeks and quit my job. And you go. The wife goes, I disagree. I don't want to do it. But at some point he goes, I'm going to read to the kids at night and I'm going to make them a nutritious breakfast. You can't go fuck that guy. You have to go. Well, that I agree with. Because otherwise it just seems like you're

[Tim Walls]

disagreeing with everything for the sake of disagreeing.

[Adam Carolla]

That is correct. All right, Hanson, let me give you a plug. Dangerous Games, it's Roblox, which is the

[Tim Walls]

most popular online gaming platform in the

[Adam Carolla]

world on True Blue and then also True Crime Network as well. And then you can just go to trueblue.com and find everything we need to know.

Well, when you come back. And we'll do the one on fraud as well.

[Tim Walls]

No, that's, that's. We're getting teed up for that right now. And it's, it's. Oh, God, it's going to be something.

[Commercial Announcer]

And hey, a good playlist doesn't hurt either.

[Adam Carolla]

It's time to check Adam's voicemail. Yo, Adam, this is d', Angelo, Mexican from South Tucson, Arizona, and finally had some chicken paprikash. For now, I am the Chupacopper Crush. Get it on. You can leave us a message at 888-634-1744. Oh, man, I've been thinking about chicken paprikash and no kettle for last few days. Threatening to make it. I'm gonna make it this weekend. It's so damn good.

[Chris Hansen]

Yeah, I've really been leaning into my Croatian side of my heritage as of recent. And I'm telling you, going around to different cities and finding places that you walk in, you can just. You smell. You smell the sausage, you smell the beers, you smell the Kraut. I'm telling you, man, it's where it's at.

[Adam Carolla]

LA is the craz place. And that literally. Our agreement with LA is we need 2,700 Indian food places, which is weird. And we need, like, 3,400 falafel places. There's no German food. And it's such a weird thing because it's like, you know, like, when I was a kid, the idea of Indian food seemed weird. You know, curry, stuff like that. And then you go to the Mediterranean stuff, and it's like shawarma and lamb and yogurt sauce and stuff. Yeah, but it's weird. Like, it's weird as an American.

[Chris Hansen]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

It's like, nobody I knew ate shawarma or Indian food. And for that matter, sushi was weird. Like, raw fish. Like, no, but the German stuff and the Hungarian stuff is just sausage and potatoes and kraut and bread, and it's, like, good. Like, fine. But there's no place for it in all of Los Angeles. Doesn't exist. Which is so weird because I will say this. Let me tell you. Everyone, listen to me. Everyone, listen to me. Everybody's got their own shit that they like. Like, people say to me all the time, adam, I like you, but you don't know shit about music. It's like, oh, really? I don't know that UFOs a thousand times better than Steve Miller? I don't know that. Yes, I do know that. I know a shitload about music. Ironically, you don't fucking know anything about music because you like Steve Miller. But okay, I know the difference between good and shit. But I'll tell you what the. I will tell you what the marker is. I'll tell you how this goes. Works this way with music, works this way with movies, works this way with food. People have their thing, they go, I love the movie Ladybugs. I saw it when I was 11. Me and my brother, before he died. I laugh my ass off, and I'll forget and I'll go, I don't think I like Ladybugs. And then they go, oh, you'll like ladybugs. And then we watch Ladybugs, and guess what? It sucks. Okay, so that makes Ladybugs not a good movie, right? And there's a music version and there's a food version of this. But I am telling you, every human being I met as an adult have two things in common. They've never eaten Hungarian food, and they've never heard of the band the Jayhawks. And then I force all of them to eat chicken paprikash while we listen to the Jayhawks. And then they go, the Jayhawks are really good. And chicken paprikash is really good now. Well, if I fed people chicken paprikash and they were like, eh. And if they heard the Jayhawks and they went, not really feeling it. Want to get back to Abracadabra by Steve Miller? Then I would declare myself. I would declare you retarded. But I would say, my yardstick is off. I'm not measuring people. I've literally given Hungarian food to a my kids when they were like, nine. Guatemalan nanny Olga, I got her making it. I got a Iraqi girlfriend. They all fucking love it. There's nobody who doesn't love chicken paprikash in that. And every time I jump into August's car, he's playing the Jayhawks channel. Mike doesn't know anything about music. He's just been on the road with me enough to force him to listen to the Jayhawks. And now he just drives around listening to the Jayhawks. Because the Jayhawks are good and because Hungarian food is good. So why the can we not have a Hungarian food restaurant in this godforsaken city?

[Chris Hansen]

Also, when you try things as a child, you know, we have this thing at the holidays in Minnesota. We call it buckala. And it is potatoes, it's cod, it's garlic, and it's oil. And when I was nine years old, I wanted nothing to do with it. Now that I am 45, I can't get enough of it. It's one of my favorite dishes of all time. And as adults, why not? Why aren't people. It's almost like millennials were the last bastion of people that we had a sweet tooth when we were kids. But then we grew into adult food, where I look at people that are in their upper 20s, low 30s now, they're not developing that Taste for that kind of food.

[Adam Carolla]

I have explained this going all the way back to my first time on the radio. And I used to talk about all the time on Loveline. I don't talk about it anymore. It's called the yummy phase. And everyone is born into the yummy phase. But as an adult, you're supposed to transition out of the yummy phase. And I knew it because Bean of Kevin and Bean and Kevin was this way, but Bean was really this way. I remember super clearly me and Bean and Kevin and Jimmy went to eat dinner when we were in Seattle, back when going out to dinner meant something. It was a big deal. Especially with me. I was poor. And we were going out to dinner in Seattle, of all places, Seattle. And me and Jimmy and we all sat down and I was sitting there, and I was like, ooh, we're in Seattle. Do you guys have what's like your best micro brew or something Local? Local be. What do you got on tap? And I remember kind of going through them with that. And Jimmy was doing the same thing. And it got to Bean, and Bean said, do you have grape soda for dinner? Because Bean is in the yummy phase. And he never got out of the yummy phase. And the thing about the yummy phase is everyone is born into it. But then at some point, you appreciate things. And that's like cognac, cigars, pussy beer. Acquired taste, right? It all tastes a little bitter first, but eventually you transcend it and you actually like it more than something that physically actually tastes good. And that's like the yummy phase. But as people do not mature into adults now, the yummy phase carries all the way through life. Whereas it was like. It was, you know, what'd you do? You know, in my crew, in my world, when you were 13, you drank a beer and you held your nose. Cause it was bitter, you know? And a root beer would have tasted better, but you didn't. And you pretended like you liked it, but you didn't really like it. But then at some point, you pushed through. Now you actually like it.

[Chris Hansen]

Yeah. All you need to know about people is go to one tailgate in Milwaukee for the Milwaukee brewers at Miller park and walk around that parking lot while everybody's grilling brats. And if you see any of those assholes put ketchup on their bra boot. Get out. Out. It's mustard and it's kraut, and that's what you eat on a goddamn broad at a baseball game.

[Adam Carolla]

Out of the lock, by the way. I've given that speech a million times. And everybody I give that speech to pauses and goes, I like ketchup on my. There's no such thing as me giving that fucking speech and not having some ass wife explain they like ketchup on there. Yes. Here's how it works. From 0 to 9, ketchup on your hot dog. Once you turn 10, we go mustard, we can go kraut, we can go chopped onion, relish. All of it. Chicagoan's best. All right, let me tell you about another guy who needs to go to hell in a hand basket. This happened to me two times yesterday. The self awareness while driving one time. Oh, God, these people. There's an off ramp that goes to my house and it's got two lanes. It's a two lane off ramp on a street up in the hills like Glenda. According to this off ramp, the left lane turns left, the right lane can turn left or turn right and go up the hill. I am getting off the off ramp to turn right. There's one car and one car only, and it's parked in the right lane waiting for the signal that takes an hour to change. When it changes, that person turns left. So that person chooses to park in the right lane to turn left, even though there's nobody in the left lane. And ostensibly people coming up behind them, such as me, who want to turn right on the red and go up the hill. So there's that person later on that day, close to this shop, there's two wide open lanes. You can either go straight or turn right. This one has a left turn lane, so it's just two lanes. You can go straight or turn right. I now want to turn right, and I'm parked behind a person that is going straight but chose to do it from the right lane. Who the fuck are these people? Why is there no situational awareness? And why is that even comfortable for you? Like, I'm gonna go straight or I'm turning left from the right lane and I'm just gonna sit there and people just pile up behind me.

[Chris Hansen]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

With their fucking blinkers on. And why is there zero attention given to this? Why not a fucking sign that just says, turn it or move it over? Like, turn right on red. Like, why we totally abandoned this thing. It happened two times in the same day, same car, same guy. Same guy, son of a friend of mine. Two different people who escape from the same mental hospital. Turning. This guy's turning left from the right lane, and this person's going straight from the right lane. And there's nobody in the left lane. Who are they? Why are there so many of them? And what the fuck is going on? And my argument is, somebody could just say to them, hey, self awareness, what are we doing here? You pull over, by the way. And do these people ever ride with people? Like, is there ever a passenger? You know, like the person that's turning left but doesn't pull out into the intersection, does it from behind the crosswalk, so you're not gonna make it? Does that person have a passenger ever that goes, hey, man, go out the fucking intersection, you asshole.

[Chris Hansen]

Yeah, I don't know about you. I feel the shame when I'm in the right lane and there's a possibility of me going straight and there's nobody behind me. And I'm like, great. I don't feel like a dick because I know people wanna go right on red. But people who pull up behind me, if they got that blinker on, There are not a lot. But there are times where I go, dude, I'm just gonna turn right and I'll make a U turn.

[Adam Carolla]

I've done it. You're holding them up.

[Chris Hansen]

Yes. I feel so bad about the fact that I'm wasting other people's time.

[Adam Carolla]

The other thing that drives me nuts, which is now it's turned into a new thing. There should be a sitcom called Malibu Coffee House. Because there is a coffee place in Malibu that I walk to. And the Malibu. There's one thing that people from Malibu can't do. They can't walk in and go, give me a large black coffee. Thanks. They cannot do it. They can't do it. And it's much like the right from the right lane kind of thing. I go in and I go, give me a coffee, put a splash of cream in it. No one else. Now there could be three people in front of you, but that's still a 20 minute wait. These guys are going to the back. There's Bunsen burners involved. They're gonna centrifuge out. They're taking the particles and the atoms inside the coffee bean and they're separating them.

[Chris Hansen]

Neil Degrasse Tyson is there.

[Adam Carolla]

I had two dudes. No, sorry. Two women in front of me. Blow up the. Blow it up a little bit, Andrew. Two women. I'm standing there going, jesus, good. I'm going, what the fuck? The guy's got a shaker out, like he's making a fucking martini. He's in the back. I hear him shaking up the thing over his shoulder. I'm like, I just want coffee.

[Chris Hansen]

James Bond here.

[Adam Carolla]

Yes. It's called a. It's called a cafe shakerado. Someone made that up.

[Chris Hansen]

Oh, yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

And espresso milk, dark chocolate, hand shaken and chilled. There's two bitches ordering this in front of me. I'm there for 20 minutes while this fucking mad scientist is making these people a fucking drink. Just get a fucking coffee and get the fuck. Sit your fucking fat ass down. Or have a separate line for sane people that aren't narcissists who just want a fucking cup of coffee. Because I have to pull in there. And you may not think three people in front of you is a lot of people, but if they're making the shaker, Otto, for all three of them, you're gonna wait. All right?

[Chris Hansen]

It's just.

[Adam Carolla]

It's. I feel the same way that when you go to the event and they got the bar set up, you know, and there's always some. You know, you want a Bud Light and your friend wants a scotch on the rocks. And then at some point, you got the chicken frenny, she needs to slow, gin fizz. And the guy's got the egg, and he's trying to separate it from the white and the yolk. And it's like, you shouldn't. No, no, no. With your fucking appletini and your espresso martini or whatever. Just bullshit. Just. This is for scotch. You want. We'll dump some scotch in a cup. We'll give you a Michelob light. We'll pour you a glass of red wine. You are not experimenting here. There's a fucking line of people. And by the way, I get it. I like a martini, but I got people behind me wanting to turn right. I'm not holding them up. Yeah, just give me a fucking scotch.

[Chris Hansen]

This happened to me in Vegas just a couple of days ago before I took a flight. It was about quarter to seven in the morning. Huge line at the coffee shop. There was a woman, two people in front of me who walked up and ordered. I'll have the vanilla latte with a soy drizzle. And you could tell everybody was like. Like this woman in front of me, she had to have been 82 years old, turns around and goes, who does this bitch think she is? I go, yeah. She goes, don't worry. I'm ordering black coffee. I said, same. Cause look at the people behind me.

[Adam Carolla]

What? Yes. Okay. Remember the supermarket had the express lane, 10 items or less. Like we had a lane for people who wanted to get the fuck in and out of the supermarket and weren't Buying everything in the supermarket. All coffee shops need a just coffee length. They would be fast. And by the way, for the coffee shop, it'd be a way to get through more people a lot faster.

[Chris Hansen]

Why can't you just put 10 smalls, 10 mediums, 10 larges, put it under a warmer, and then people can just grab it. You can add the sugar, cream, whatever you want, and we can get on with our goddamn lives.

[Adam Carolla]

Go to this menu one more time. This shake. A teeny shake Shakerado. Now we got the Cafe Nico. That's espresso. Candied orange cinnamon. Having it. First things first. If you're ordering that shit. You don't like coffee, get your ass out of here. This is for people who want coffee. The Honey Buzz. Honey shaken ice espresso with a honey cold foam top. That's 25 minutes right there. Then the Cafe Shakerado, and then the Cafe Frison Frizzante espresso, sparkling water, lightly sweet. That has nothing to do with coffee.

[Chris Hansen]

Yeah, it's named after Michael Frizzante. You remember the singer? The Honey Buzz. Afterwards, you get it, and then a bee comes and stings you in the ass for taking up everybody's tongue.

[Adam Carolla]

I want to kick all this fucking. And by the way, hey, percentage of people in Malibu that need their own highfalutin drink. Much higher than Reseda or Canoga Park. Number one. Number two. These two bitches get the shakerado. They're punching out. It's like, all right, it's $27. These people are spending 30 bucks on two coffee drinks.

[Chris Hansen]

Yeah, there's a scene in Landman with Billy Bob Thornton, like the opening, the first episode where the guys are on their way out to the oil field and they stop to get coffee. And one of them orders one of those fruity drinks, and everybody starts laying on the horn behind them like, dude, we're all in. All you gotta do at one time on a construction site is hold people up. And you will never make that specialty order ever again.

[Tim Walls]

Ever.

[Chris Hansen]

Actor Jerry o' Connell revealed in a new interview that his wife, actress Rebecca Romijn, and their daughters became physical with him after former Vice President Kamala Harris lost the 2024 presidential election. The actor joked on Bill Maher's Club Random podcast on Monday, I'm going to

[Adam Carolla]

tell you about a bit of. And I say this. Will I stay married? Blow it over here. My. Sounds like you're going to blow it over here. The night of the election. This third one.

[Tim Walls]

Yeah, third election.

[Adam Carolla]

Everyone knows what I'm talking about here. I was watching late at night, the returns.

[Tim Walls]

And I'll be honest with you, I

[Adam Carolla]

didn't think Trump was going to win. I live in California. I didn't think he was gonna win. From what I was hearing, I didn't either. I think he was gonna win. This is where I live.

[Tim Walls]

You know,

[Adam Carolla]

I said something along the

[Tim Walls]

lines of, like,

[Adam Carolla]

there was no planning. This is what they get. There should have been a primary. I said something along those lines, you know, like, I was just spitballing ideas as to. It was a shock. You know,

[Tim Walls]

my wife and daughters,

[Adam Carolla]

without saying anything, became. Became physical with me. They were. They were filled with rage. So if I am being careful with you in how I say things. Yes, I live in California. I live with not one, not two, but three people who.

[Commercial Announcer]

So

[Adam Carolla]

if I made any kind of joke, they would. They'd become very angry with me, you know, I. Well, so I'm. I don't want to tell you how to live your life, but I couldn't live that Way I would. Whatever household or ever situation I'm in, I say what I truly think. And if it makes you angry, I'm sorry, we'll have to work that out. Well, it makes sense, but I am not going to tuck my tail between my legs and just shut the fuck up. This is what you were dealing with when you were a child. Just sit there and don't say anything. Sit on your hands. But what happened to Rob Reiner? More of that, Jerry. More of that. Where's Rob Reiner's ghost when you need him to be telling you? More of that. Yeah, yeah, it's a problem, man.

[Chris Hansen]

The night of the election, I don't know where you were, ace, but I was on the road with my girlfriend, who you've met, who is great and she's a fun hang and she's fun. But that night I've never had to console somebody more. We were on the 35th floor of a hotel in Vegas and I was like, we gotta make sure the windows are screwed in because she was ready to goddamn jump out of it.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, women. And they made such an emotional argument about Trump and Kamala. And I just wanna say to everyone, who's on the left, Trump, Trump versus who, like an incompetent, lying, duplicitous sack of shit who's inert, like Kamala Harris wasn't gonna do anything. The border would just fucking be wide open. The border would remain wide open. Whatever you think of Trump, let's not compare Trump to some sort of unicorn candidate that you built in a political lab. Let's compare Trump to Biden and Kamala Harris. Biden was a brain dead race hustling corrupt, serial, lying, incompetent guy who was basically a puppet who was falling asleep sitting next to George Floyd's brother on the Juneteenth celebration on the lawn while Koolna gang sung he didn't know the fuck. The only time that guy woke up was to take money from Ukraine for his fucking son because his family's corrupt. He has 35 shell companies. So what are you comparing Trump to? You know what I mean? And who basically left the border wide open so terrorists and God knows who else could all just spill across and create sleeper cells. Kamala Harris is a dunce who's a word salad shooter who I don't know what her policies are. She's for transing the prisoners. She's against transing the prisoners. She's against. She's for fracking. She's against fracking. She's been to the border. But she hasn't been to the border. She's a dope. So what are we comparing Trump to? You can dislike Trump all you want. Kamala Harris is a good candidate. She's smart, she's hands on. She's gonna take care of business. The fucking border would be wide open right now. Wide open. And you know what would be going on right now? Now, Texas would be talking about setting up containers and putting something out in the Rio Grande, putting barbed wire in the Rio Grande so they couldn't get across into Texas. And Kamala Harris and her administration would be suing Texas to get the barbed wire taken down. That's what we'd be doing. And every fucking speech would be about trans. It'd be nothing but LGBT community. It'd be. White supremacy is the biggest problem this country faces. And something about trans and something about the community. And something about a seat at the table and something about treated with dignity. And we'd get our ass handed to us. And by the way, Iran would be this close to nukes. That's what we'd have with Kamala fucking Harris. So I know everyone's sad, but let's talk about what you would offer.

[Chris Hansen]

Yeah, a lot of the stuff that Trump is doing nowadays, former presidents that are on the side of the left, that people like did the same exact shit. They just didn't have the mic skills. And people didn't.

[Adam Carolla]

They didn't do it. They said they were gonna do it and they never did it. If Kamala Harris was in charge right now, Iran would have a nuke, we'd have a nuclear device and the border be wide open, and whatever the fuck wanted, Whatever terrorist cells want to come across the border with a suitcase bomb could do it. Cuz it'd be fucking wide open. So shut the fuck up. Shut up. You don't know what the fuck you're talking about. You're dumb. We decided women knew everything. And listen, just because you're gonna become emotional doesn't mean you can blackmail me with your retarded ideas. You know what I'm saying? Oh, you'll get very upset if I don't wear gloves during COVID at the supermarket. That's you being a dumb bitch. That has nothing to do with science. And we let them go. We let them go. We used to check them. We used to check women and go, no, no, I'm in charge or no, no, you don't get to set all the policy. And at some point, guys got P whipped, left them in fucking charge. And now we're going nuts. And by the way, that's what LA is. It's a fucking city filled with chicks in charge.

[Chris Hansen]

So many comics do not want to post anything nowadays because they are afraid of the wrath they're going to feel from liberal women. It's awful.

[Adam Carolla]

Taking dumbos and being scared. Basically, here's. Basically, here's the household. Here's the California household. Listen, my wife's nuts. Her ideas suck and they're gonna ruin the house. But I don't wanna get into a fucking argument. She's gonna start crying. I don't wanna fucking deal with it. Yeah, okay, good. Let the fucking house go to shit. I mean, most guys I know got steamrolled during COVID just because the woman was panicking and making all sorts of fucking declarations. And now we got fucked. By the way, my kids are vaccinated. I didn't want them vaccinated. They're vaccinated. I didn't want that. So that's the way it is. So grow some fucking balls, Jerry, and stand up.

[Chris Hansen]

Yeah, no shit. Jesus, man. Although I will say, you gotta admit, he looks pretty goddamn good, huh? He's had a glow up. Him and Chris Pratt, both those guys should get medals for all goddamn. Those kids were like. They were the fattest kids on the set. And now they're goddamn leading men. Handsome. Chelsea Handler has blasted Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. And his wife, Cheryl Hines, claiming that she has not been able to live in her $5.9 million Brentwood home she bought from the couple five years ago.

[Adam Carolla]

Five years ago, yeah. Chelsea Handler's a dope, by the way. And she's not fucking funny either. That's the other. I wish she was funny. I've done her show. She's not funny. She's skilled, but she's not a funny person. She's more dope. And by the way, you wouldn't have to fucking show us your tits every 10 seconds if you were funny. But go ahead. Especially the mental state that you're in. I would walk up and fucking have

[Chris Hansen]

a conversation, a real conversation about Dennis Leary, by the way.

[Commercial Announcer]

Listen, he's been confronted so many times about his ethics and his views, and he doesn't give a shit what anyone thinks anyway, so it's not going to make an impact on him. I would, just to get my rocks off, I would like to have a go at him. Just some background information. I bought RFK Jr's house in Los Angeles 5 years ago. I still have not lived in this house.

[Tim Walls]

House.

[Commercial Announcer]

That's how fucked up this house was. The idea that this guy is in charge of the health of our country when he didn't even have a proper foundation at his house. And when they opened up the house, they were like, this house is the most toxic environment. You cannot live here for at least two years. I see him all the time and I'm like, what did you do to Chelsea's house? Like, what have you done?

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. All right. She's a dumb bitch. Now, here's the thing. Take it from a guy who's remodeled a lot of houses. I don't know what. First off, the foundation. It's not like Kennedy Jr. Was in there digging footings or putting pylons in or doing foundation work. Here's the thing about a house. When you sell your house, you get an inspection. You get a home inspection, and they inspect the foundation. And if the foundation needs to be repaired, then the homeowner can repair it or they can get a couple of bids and they'll just deduct that amount from the price of the house. So I don't even know what that means. But also, you can fix a foundation pretty fast.

[Chris Hansen]

Sure.

[Adam Carolla]

It's not that big a deal in terms of. I don't know what she was talking about. Mold mitigation or something.

[Chris Hansen]

No, no. Yeah, she was talking about some of the. She says, quote unquote, illegal stuff, which when you say illegal stuff in California, and maybe it's just not up to their code.

[Adam Carolla]

The two biggest tells from the retards on the left is Kennedy Jr. Their two biggest hells is Kennedy Jr. And Elon Musk. That's how I know you guys are lying and you have Trump derangement syndrome and we never have to fucking listen to you ever again because a both guys, formerly darlings of the left and the Democrats. One's a Kennedy, by the way, who made his bones suing Monsanto and all these other big chemical companies and defense contractors and Union Carbide for polluting the environment. So this guy, I mean, you want to talk about a guy who was built in a Democratic Papa Boner lab, You have a guy with the last name Kennedy, so he already comes from royalty, and he makes his life work suing huge corporations that pollute the environment. Okay, so you love this guy.

[Chris Hansen]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

The other guy invents an electric car, which you love. So you love Kennedy and you love Elon Musk. And nothing bad was ever said about any of these guys. One guy was a genius who's gonna save the planet through building Electric cars and electric semi trucks and everything else. And then the other guy was gonna save the planet by repairing the planet because the rivers had gone bad, and he's gonna sue the company, and then he was gonna rehabilitate the river. These are your two biggest icons amongst the left. Then Trump gets elected, and they go about to do more good work Doge, save the taxpayer money, grift and fraud. This guy's gonna get red dye number 17 out of Razzles. And look into childhood autop. Look into what's causing everyone to be on this, Every kid to be on the spectrum of autism and all this kind of stuff. But because he was selected by Trump, you then have to attack both of them. And then both of them, one goes from the smartest guy in the world to a dope who's trying to take food out of children's mouths or something. I don't really even know what you got to with Elon, but that one seems nuts. So you're gonna go burn some Tesla dealerships. And then the other one is a madman who wants everyone to die of whooping cough because they didn't get vaccinated. Both huge lies. And you've shown your cards because any sensible, normal human being that did not have Trump derangement syndrome would go, I hate Donald Trump, and I'm disappointed that my hero, Kennedy Jr. Went. And Elon Musk, another hero who've done a lot of good for our society, went to work for Trump, even though I understand their cause is noble. They would like kids to eat healthier meals, and they would like to colonize Mars and save money for the taxpayer via Doge. That's what a normal person would do. But they have to pillory both of them, which means they're fucking liars. And it also makes Chelsea Handler dope, makes her dumb. Yeah, I want to hear. Let's hear her side one more time. I don't know what it means that you can't live in a. You can totally rebuild a house in about a year if you need to. I don't know why she can't live in it. And I don't know what's wrong with Dennis Leary, because Dennis Leary, everyone call dopes out. What do you mean, five years? You can't live in the house. The mental state that you're in. I would walk up and fucking have a conversation, a real conversation about how you feel about things.

[Commercial Announcer]

Listen, he's been confronted so many times about his ethics and his views, and he doesn't give a shit what Anyone thinks anyway, so it's not gonna make an impact on him. I would just to get my rocks off, I would like to have a go at him. Just some background information. I bought RFK Jr. S hat house in Los Angeles five years ago. I still have not lived in this house. That's how fucked up this house was. The idea that this guy is in charge of the health of our country when he didn't even have a proper foundation at his house. When they opened up the house, they were like, this house is the most toxic environment. You cannot live here for at least two years. I see him all the time, and I'm like, what did you do to Chelsea's house?

[Adam Carolla]

What did you do to Chelsea's house? Fucking don't buy the fucking house, bitch, but fix the house.

[Chris Hansen]

The fact that in five years, you. You can't as a. As an adult who has a career, cannot find enough contractors or people to be able to fix this house for you. Maybe we shouldn't give you a podcast. Chelsea.

[Adam Carolla]

Get the fuck out. Get the road. I don't get what's wrong with the foundation, by the way. Like I said, she's full of shit. Foundation gets inspected. There's a problem with. Can be fixed in two weeks.

[Chris Hansen]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

I mean, normally three days. Like, literally injecting epoxy into the cracks and putting a couple straps up and maybe pouring a little extra footing or something. It's nothing. I have no fucking idea what she's talking about. She doesn't know what she's talking about. And I'm driving through the Palisades on the way home. Some of those houses are stuccoed, wrapped with a roof on them. Now, they can do. Most contractors can do a house from the ground up in a year pretty easily. I've talked to. And I'm talking about 6,000 square foot. Like, I'm talking about a big house with nice tile and fixtures and everything else. So five years can't seems crazy. What? Well, it's not crazy. She's lying.

[Chris Hansen]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

And she's choosing not to live there. And also, whatever her neighbor bitches are, someone should pipe up and go, hey, unfunny person. I don't get it. Do you want to live in that house? You want to live. Look, if the house has, like, let's say, mold or something, you can just strip it. You can just strip all the drywall and insulation and re. Insulate and resheetrock it.

[Chris Hansen]

Yeah. Also, if you bought this house from George Clooney, would you be on your podcast Right now going, that son of a bitch George Clooney. This plank was such a piece of shit when I bought it for $5.9 million. Where have you been living the last five years?

[Adam Carolla]

Very good point. And not only that, it's the part that makes it really egregious is I don't know Elon Musk, but I do know Kennedy, and he is one of the most personable, likable, friendly, smartest guys I've ever met who just wants to fix shit. Your kids were eating shit. The food pyramid was capsized, and he wants you to eat better. He wants prisoners to eat better. Really? Yeah. You're angry.

[Chris Hansen]

Two of the biggest concerns amongst parents when it comes to health are, number one, getting chemicals out of food, and number two, getting pharmaceutical ads off of television. That's one of the biggest ones. Well, there's a guy that you could have in office that could take care of that shit, but you guys all want to just pile on him.

[Adam Carolla]

It's so weird. But that's when it shows, by the way. That's when you realize it's kind of a disease. And it attracts. It affects more women than men, but it affects men as well. But not men that are wired like men only mostly men that are wired like pussies. But I'll give you kind of an example. Here's what men can do and women can't do. And this is part of what we're dealing with and part of the problem. Now, keep in mind, Gavin Newsom. Watch how he crosses his legs. He's probably out broach shopping right now. If I know Gavin, Gavin is like, gavin's going to the brooch shop to do some brooch shopping. And he's probably like, do you have a seat? I want to try these on. Well, you can stand in front of the mirror. Let's go ahead and pull the seat up in front of the mirror. I want to see how my legs cross deeply look with this brooch. But here's. Let me explain. This is going to ring true to all of you. All of you. You'll have to admit I'm right. Men have guys they don't like and they think are douchebags and they hate, right? And so those guys will go, fuck Frank. Frank's an asshole. He only thinks of himself. Frank only worries. You know who Frank worries about? Frank Wright doesn't do anything, and he fucking. Fucking douchebag. And then you go, well, I agree with you, but remember, you did have to leave that volleyball tournament where your daughter and Frank's daughter were playing. And Frank did offer to drive your daughter home after the game, and then stopped off at Cane's and got her some food. And then you go, yeah, okay, I still don't like Frank, but fine, I'm glad he drove her home. Right? Okay.

[Chris Hansen]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

Let me tell you what women do. Women go, I hate Francine. See what I do there?

[Chris Hansen]

Sure.

[Adam Carolla]

She's a bitch. I don't trust her, and I hate her guts. And then you go, what about that time she hung out at the volleyball game and drove your daughter home after you had to leave early? And then women go, I bet she was talking shit about me the whole drive. And she only did it so she could talk to our daughter and fucking poison her brain. That's what women do. That's all women do. They can't give it up. They cannot. Once someone is bad, they're bad. So you're a bad guy because you don't want kids to get 85 injections or because Trump likes you, fine. But at a certain point, bitch, when he wants to get red dye number 17 out of the candy, and he wants to get your kids eating more healthy foods, and he wants the environment cleaned up, bitch, you gotta give it up. You have to give it up and go, don't like the guy, but at least he drove the kid home from volleyball. Yeah, right. Guys can do it. Women cannot. You try to get your woman to turn the corner on someone she doesn't like, you just go, all right, all right, all right. You hate this guy. He's a douche. He's a rat. He's a. Whatever he did, do. You fill in that blank, they'll go, you know what they'll do? They'll ascribe some motive to it. He only did that to get into your good graces so he could fucking hit you up for a job. You know, that's what they do. They cannot give it up. It's how they're. It's part of their wiring. And so the Trump Derangement Syndrome, it doesn't matter how many wars are ended and how many cultures are liberated. And what he did for the historically black college or closed what does not matter. It doesn't fucking matter.

[Chris Hansen]

Yeah, a lot of dude.

[Adam Carolla]

There's nothing that can be done.

[Chris Hansen]

There's a lot of dude comics that I will go, can't stand that guy. Hate being in a green room with him, but goddamn, can they get on stage and bring the hero. Right? Yeah, right. Give credit where credit is due.

[Adam Carolla]

Women will go, Hate that bitch Comic. Not funny. Not funny, never been fun. That's the way they do it. Now, that being said, I mean, what I said about Chelsea, but you did

[Chris Hansen]

give her a credit. You said, hey, she's not funny, but she is skilled. Which. Surrounding yourself with other funny people to make your show number one is a skill.

[Adam Carolla]

Yes, absolutely. Yes, it's a skill. She is a skilled.

[Chris Hansen]

Donald Trump has brutally ridiculed Gavin Newsom's dyslexia, calling him Uncertainty.

[Adam Carolla]

I love this clip, but there is. I don't know why I always think about Chelsea Handler, but she wrote a book about her in Africa or something, and the title of the book was Uganda. Be kidding me. I think it was, and I can't. Was it her and an elephant with her top off? I don't. Tops always coming off. Anyway, sorry, Trump.

[Chris Hansen]

Yeah, Trump. We'll bring this clip up here in just a second where Trump is making fun of Gavin Newsom and his dyslexia. He said, honestly, I'm all for people with having disabilities, but not for my president. The president should not have a learning disability.

[Adam Carolla]

Our computer had a little hiccup.

[Chris Hansen]

Oh, did it freeze up there?

[Adam Carolla]

Had a little hiccup. Yeah, it is. I went through this with Constantine. I think his name is from the Burbank City Council. The folks who shut down Tinhorn Flat. Me and Mark Geragos were making fun of him, and he's like, I have a disability. I'm on the spectrum. And I'm like, hey, if you're retarded, don't run a city. Yeah, how about that? How about, hey, all retards, string beads, eat pudding, watch your daytime tv, count toothpicks after they fall on the ground. Do not run cities because part of you destroyed my friend's business. Maybe because you're part tar.

[Chris Hansen]

Sure.

[Adam Carolla]

And I think Trump is saying that about Gavin Newsom here. Gavin Newscom has admitted that he is a. That he has learning disabilities. Honestly, I'm all for people with learning disabilities, but not for my president. I don't want. I think a president should not have learning disabilities. Okay? And I know it's highly controversial to say such a horrible thing. The President of the United States, Gavin Newscom, admitted that he is learning. Learning disabilities, dyslexia, everything about him is dumb. Yeah, you're dumb. And by the way, you saying to me, which is. Everyone does. They go, I'm on the spectrum. I'm half retard, and I slept in my car. That just means you're a fucking loser. I don't want you running anything. You slept in your fucking car and you're half a tariff. Fuck off. What is the guy from Burbank City Council? Constantine

[Chris Hansen]

something I think you should run on that platform. If you sleep in your car, then you're a tard. If you sleep in your car. Yeah, all right.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. So is that the guy?

[Chris Hansen]

Constantine? Anthony?

[Adam Carolla]

Yes, yes. He's a very harrowing story of being retarded and sleeping in his car and then also helping shut down Tinhorn Flats and put a family business of 50 plus years out on the street. Putting a gate around a business because you guys were scared of COVID even though you had no proof that outdoor dining. There's no science on outdoor dining being dangerous, you decided to do this shit on your own. Well, actually, sorry, news gum. The other guy with the learning disability decided that outdoor dining was dangerous, even though there's no papers that said outdoor dining was dangerous. And then you retard snapped into action. And now Tinhorn Flats is no more. And there's no repercussions, there's no checks cashed and there's no apologies. Yeah, that's good. And then there's the assholes sorry like Jerry's daughter and wife who want more of this. You want to live in a world with more Gavin Newsom and more businesses put out and more shutdowns and more overreach? You guys want more of that? That's my argument. Okay, you hate Trump, or maybe you hate Steve Hilton, who's running for governor of California. But you love Gavin Newsom. You love Tim Walz. You love Gretchen Whitmer. Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan shut down lakes and boating. And you couldn't go to home centers and get gardening equipment. But not for her and her husband. They've launched a boat. That's what you want. You want more of that? You want incompetent, scared people fucking your world up? That's what you want? You want Gavin Newsom took bulldozers and scooped sand in the skate parks at the beach? That's what you want. And I'm an insane person for not wanting that guy. Yeah, fuck you. What the fuck do you know? You don't know anything.

[Chris Hansen]

Well, that's cuz Tim Walls and his cronies are gonna bring back the joy. Let's bring back the joy. Well, hopefully some immigrants bring it with them over the border since the borders are gonna be wide open too.

[Adam Carolla]

That, I mean that. That clip of what's his name getting into Tim Walls about asking him about, you know, what percentage Somalis are on welfare and what? It was fucking overwhelming. It's insane. It's insane. Yeah, yeah. They're fucking nuts. So listen, if you guys, whether it's your girlfriend or it's Jerry o' Connell's wife and kids. Kids. If you guys were talking about putting Bill Clinton circa 1996 up versus Trump, well then you have an argument. But when you have insane people who think men are women and women are men and don't believe in fucking borders and wanna hand out welfare to everyone and wanna crush school choice and get mobbed up with the teachers unions, if you don't like gas powered automobile and believe in global warming and want to fuck everything, if that's your person, then fuck off. If it's sensible, normal Bill Clinton circa 1996, well then you have an argument.

[Chris Hansen]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

And then I, and by the way, I could be swayed. But that's not what you have. You have crazed fucking jihadists essentially who fucking love you. You love immigrants, you love illegal immigrants and you fucking hate citizens. Yeah, fuck off. All right, that's it. Where are we going this Sunday? Santa Ana, California. Jordan family classic cars. The Newman collection got moved there so we're doing a live pod. And also Jay Moore is going to come out, say hi as well. And then Rudy will be there.
