Comedian Ben Gleib returns to the show and they open by talking about the lack of uniformity in hotel shower valves & martini pours, the police statement about metal detectors following the Wisconsin school shooting, and how they...

From Corolla One Studios in Glendale, California. This is the Adam Carolla Show. Adam's guest today, comedian Ben Gleb. Plus the news and trending topics with Jason May Miller. And now he's making a list and checking it twice, but it's a list of grievances. Adam Carolla.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, get it on. Got to get on the chair. Taking a minute to get it on. Thanks for tuning in. Thanks for telling the friend. We love that about you. Ben Glebe back in studio mayhem. Miller here as well. Ben's got a podcast last week on Earth with guess who? Ben Gleb. Everyone's available on Apple Podcast, Spotify and wherever you find finer podcasts. Also, the Mad King is the standup special. It's available on YouTube as we speak as well. All right. Stuff to complain about. And now these are first world problems, admittedly, but I like some uniformity. I like things to be consistent. I like to know. I've said thousands of times that I wish every valve and every shower of every hotel I've ever went to was the same valve. So I knew how to start the shower. Not all bespoke and all different. I've said this about TV remotes in hotel rooms. And I like a world where you go and get, you fill your car up at one place and a gallon is a gallon, and then you could go drive to Nebraska and go to another place and the same gallon would be the same gallon, which would also be the same place across the street. The Chevron, the Arco Shell station, everything's the same. And you know what you're getting, right?
Ben Glebe
Are you getting less than a gallon some places?
Jason May
Yeah. I don't understand.
Adam Carolla
No, I like it.
Ben Glebe
I didn't get the last one.
Adam Carolla
I like it. Everything would.
Ben Glebe
It's called what differences in gas stations.
Jason May
Are you saying, you're saying money wise, you're saying that we should have uniform price?
Adam Carolla
I'm saying I like that you can go to any gas station and know exactly what a gallon is.
Ben Glebe
Oh, I see. That was an example of uniformity.
Adam Carolla
That's uniformity.
Ben Glebe
Copy.
Adam Carolla
I would like it to be that.
Ben Glebe
Way with the showers and remote controls.
Adam Carolla
Right. But I like that. I never think. You fill your car all the time and you never think, what have you thought to yourself? I wonder if this is. I mean, the tank says it holds 16 gallons, but this says I just pumped in 31 gallons. But wait a minute, it would fuck you up. Right? Yeah, I like that.
Ben Glebe
Okay, now I've got thoughts about hotel showers in a moment. But I want you to think about.
Adam Carolla
Anybody who travels a lot has thoughts about hotel showers.
Ben Glebe
I mean, they're designed by complete morons. Almost every hotel shower these days, they like box. There's a little opening in the glass chamber and it's not on the side where the spout and the knob is. So you have to reach deep into this glass box to turn on ice cold water and get yourself soaking wet with ice cold water before it's at the right temperature. You can't turn it on without getting wet, which is the most important element of a shower.
Adam Carolla
It's like they don't want you coming back. Right.
Ben Glebe
100%. How did they do that and think it's perfect?
Adam Carolla
Also, if you go to the Home Depot and you look at shower valves, they have like nine different offerings. But if you travel the country, there's evidently 7,000 different offerings because no hotel has the same one. I'd like to live in this world. Can we live in this world? Hot knob, cold knob. You just turn it. You just deal with it. No stick shift, no moving this. No heading toward Mecca. Is it getting hot? Is it getting. I don't know what direction hot or cold is. I'm just saying back in the day, I grew up in a world where you turn the hot on, you'd let the water warm up and then you'd work in some cold like season to your tasting. You know what I mean?
Ben Glebe
I mostly agree with that. Point shifts. The stick shift vibes. No good. The where you have to pull it towards you and then turn it.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. Always confused.
Ben Glebe
You're in.
Adam Carolla
Always confused.
Ben Glebe
But I think one knob is better than two knobs because it's built in is. Is the adjusting. I'm not trying to be a chemist.
Adam Carolla
And one knob is better than two knobs for your home because you'll learn your knob at home. But for the road, it's really just. We are idiot proofing this shower valve with saying yes, it's going to take. Aesthetically, not as strong as the single knob. But we don't care because we're out the next morning. Right. And from a timely standpoint, there's a, you know, there's a couple extra seconds of turning the other knob. But from a consistency standpoint, you just know what you're getting every time you.
Ben Glebe
Get full hot and you're adding cold. Whereas sometimes you go all the way hot in a hotel and you're just. You have third degree burns now.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. And you don't know. And you can't. It's getting hotter. Okay.
Ben Glebe
And also, almost every hotel on earth these days doesn't get hot for like 10 minutes.
Jason May
Yeah. Yeah.
Ben Glebe
It's just cold.
Jason May
Burn up left, stick shift up left. And then tap it, tap it, tap it as. As you want to season in the car.
Ben Glebe
Everything tapping to you.
Jason May
Tap, tap, tappy. Like a little bit of.
Adam Carolla
I took a. I literally took pictures earlier in my career. It's somewhere on the computer. Dawson will remember it somewhere, but I. Probably not labeled or mislabeled.
Jason May
Documented.
Adam Carolla
I'll say. Like Spokane, D.C. sacramento. I took a picture of every shower valve on every hotel on the road. And they're all different. And there's 75 of them, which sounds patently insane, because you think, yeah, there would be just sort of one Val. You know, someone would have a monopoly on. Here's the valve.
Jason May
I'm seeing an investment opportunity here for you to take over the game. Corolla knobs.
Ben Glebe
Yeah, you've got a. You've got a wine cooler. A man Gria. I say we do knobs. Corolla knobs.
Adam Carolla
Well, this is all leading me to somewhere else.
Ben Glebe
I had a feeling.
Adam Carolla
You had a feeling? I've been out to dinner a lot. A lot lately. And I was in New York and stuff like that. I always love going to a steakhouse and ordering a martini. You found the compilation nice. Yeah. Are they labeled? Are the cities labeled on them? Okay, well, we're looking at one that doesn't have a city labeled on it.
Dawson
But it's labeled on the file itself.
Adam Carolla
This is Atlanta. Boston.
Jason May
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
Chicago. All right, another Chicago knob home.
Mayhem Miller
Indianapolis.
Adam Carolla
Milwaukee. That one's confusing. All.
Mayhem Miller
Napa.
Jason May
Napa.
Adam Carolla
Portland. All right, here's what I'm saying about Portland. Go back. Portland. There is no blue. There's no red. There's no plus. There's no minus. There's just. Here's a. Here's a handle. Turn it at your own risk.
Ben Glebe
Same as Milwaukee. There's no. I don't even know if you start left.
Adam Carolla
Right. Here's my point.
Ben Glebe
There it is.
Adam Carolla
I grew up in the San Fernando Valley. My junior high, my high school, my grade school, they all looked exactly the same. They had the same tile, they had the same bathroom. They had the same urinals. The buildings were exactly the same. Why is there no uniformity? Why is it all different? Every single place you go to is different, and none of them are what? You know. It's not like, oh, that's the one I got from home. No, it's all different.
Jason May
I'm going to guess China.
Adam Carolla
China. And then how much water does one waste every year not knowing what it is and having to experiment with the Arm in there. What all just runs into the bay.
Ben Glebe
They don't want you to use a new towel to save the environment. And they make you wait for 40 minutes for hot water. And then once you get hot, it's too hot and you have to adjust it down for the rest of your life.
Adam Carolla
Does this keep going, Byron, by the way? We get to the end of this. No.
Ben Glebe
Yeah, there's a few more.
Adam Carolla
Okay. I didn't even cherry pick them. I just traveled the country taking pictures of bathrooms. And it's like, it's almost uncanny that the Hilton in Boston wouldn't have the one that the Hilton in Sacramento had. Right. They don't even. Even amongst their own brand name, that Marriott. The Marriotts would. Would vary. It's kind of weird, right?
Jason May
Yeah.
Ben Glebe
I also. This is totally a tangent, but related. I met somebody once with the weirdest job. Their job. Wait, what's that top button on that one?
Adam Carolla
That's the point that you pull it out and fills the tub or whatever. I. But I don't know, to turn it right or left or up or something. You gotta pull while you're.
Ben Glebe
It's just like, I think you have to press and pull and turn and tilt. It's all of it.
Adam Carolla
But what if we did cars where we're like, oh, in this car, the accelerator's on the left and we put the brake on the right and the clutch is in the back seat. The steering wheel is in the back. Is in the trunk.
Ben Glebe
It would really cut down on commandeering of vehicles.
Adam Carolla
It would slow down the carjacking. But it would be super confusing. Every time you got into a new car.
Ben Glebe
This one's just ugly. They got the red and the blue, but there's marble in the middle of chrome.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, they're all different.
Jason May
I'm just sad I don't get to see the reflection of you ass naked taking a photograph.
Ben Glebe
You're sad about that?
Jason May
Yeah. I'm like, what? You're always in clothes.
Ben Glebe
It's very telling.
Jason May
Yeah. You should be butt naked in at least two of these photos.
Adam Carolla
All right, so none of them are the same and it's all shit show.
Ben Glebe
Yep. And it's called American Standard and it's not standard.
Adam Carolla
There's nothing standard about it. And by the way, I don't like peeing into the urinal that says American Standard on it. I feel like it's unpatriotic, like, true. It's like you just took it. You took a whiz on an eagle, bro. Yeah, like I'm peeing with you looking at American Standard.
Ben Glebe
That brand should be American Freak. That's the move for that moment.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. Or it could be, like, Middle Eastern Standard or some other place that we had beef with China Standard, you know? But I don't like peeing China. The American Standard.
Ben Glebe
Yep.
Adam Carolla
All right. So I like. I've been going out. I was in New York.
Ben Glebe
You like a martini?
Adam Carolla
I like a martini, and I like my steak, But I never know what martini's showing up. I don't know what size is showing up. Now they have different glasses. And then there's the one I like. All right, so there's three ways we go. We go glass martini, Then they go, oh, we're gonna drop it off some places, drop the shaker off with it, and you can do a little tableside, top it off, you know, some melted ice in there, but, you know, if you like that, others do the little craft thing. They'll do a little side martini, and you can, like, freshen it up, but in a little ice thing. It's very fancy.
Ben Glebe
Yeah. Pretend it's orange juice while you're getting drunk.
Adam Carolla
That's right. But always unclear, which is what? It's just a crapshoot with the martini, you know what I mean? So I go to a place in New York, and it's also. There's an amount issue. It's always a thing. I go to the place in New York, the guy starts to hand me the martini glass, which is the 60s, Frank Sinatra style, a little more champagne than martini, and the thing's down seven eighths of an inch from there. I mean, it had a little bit of martini at the bottom of it, you know what I mean? Which happened. Sometimes they spill it, I think, when they're bringing it out. But the guy starts to like. The guy sets it down on the table, and I literally just looked at him like.
Jason May
What is this?
Adam Carolla
And he just looked at me, and he just picked it back up, and he walked back nice to the bar. I didn't even say anything. But my favorite place is Mastro's. Cause Mastro's, they give you a nice big martini glass, and they leave the shaker at the table, and it usually give you a nice, strong martini up to the edge. And then they leave the shaker, and the shaker's got enough so you can kind of top it off a little. Some melted ice.
Ben Glebe
I think the raff is much better than the shaker because of the melted ice issue. But please, go ahead. You like it this way?
Adam Carolla
I like it this way makes you.
Ben Glebe
Feel like you're a bartender. You're helping the process a little bit.
Adam Carolla
Tactile, mechanical, spun metal. Feeling good. And so I go out to. I go out to Mastro's, and the guy's pouring the thing at the table. You know that move, and then he's kind of shaking it, and now it's just ice and the glass half full. And then he sets it down, and I go, well, there's nothing in there. He goes, yeah, well, I leave it here so you can pour. I go, yeah, you leave it so I can top it off. Except for it's empty. It just shook it in front of the thing. And the glass is two thirds full, so somebody didn't put enough in here. And he goes, yeah. And I go, why don't you take it back, y'all? Put some more in there. And he goes, okay. And he goes and does it. But here's what I'm saying.
Ben Glebe
And you're allowed to be this level of indignant with cocktail prices. I mean, this is probably a $27 martini, right?
Adam Carolla
So here's what I'm saying. Why the crapshoot and martinis? Last time I checked, you get a gin martini. It's basically gin with ice and a lemon twist or olives or whatever. There's nothing. There's nothing to it. You know what I mean? So like when you. Okay, so like beef eater gin. All right, let's. Let's work this out. Beef eater gin. The restaurant is paying $9, a 750 milliliter bottle for it. Really? I mean, $8.75, $6.75.
Ben Glebe
Like Scott, a classy British guy in the bottle, but it's not classy.
Adam Carolla
They're not paying. They're paying wholesale. Whatever.
Ben Glebe
That's why it's the guard on the guard.
Adam Carolla
He's the beef eater.
Ben Glebe
It's the gin of the guard.
Adam Carolla
Yeah.
Ben Glebe
He's not keeping guard of great gin. That's what he drinks, like, in his pocket during the shift.
Adam Carolla
I came out with a gin called Pole sm.
Ben Glebe
Go Over. Surprising.
Adam Carolla
I know. I thought it was a great idea. Yeah. I had a fudge brand called the Fudge Backers. I thought it worked great for, you know, the guys over there in Wisconsin and stuff. And. No, didn't work. I don't know what's up with. I know what's wrong with people. Fudge.
Ben Glebe
Fudge.
Adam Carolla
Factors of pulse. Smokers, Both of them.
Ben Glebe
Probably pretty popular with beefy.
Adam Carolla
I lost a lot of money, but lesson learned.
Ben Glebe
That's fine.
Adam Carolla
Okay. So here's what I'm saying. It is. The bottle cost them $8.
Ben Glebe
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
Your martini has $1.21 worth of gin in it. According to them, from that bottle, two things. When the waiter goes to pick up the martini glass that's half empty, shouldn't the waiter look at the bartender and go, I'm not bringing this fucking burned offering back to that table. The guy ordered a martini. And we could also agree, people order like to have a drink. You know what I mean? This isn't. It's all alcohol. It's all alcohol. You know what I mean? Ironically, the martini that's always, always filled is the cappuccino martini. Those ones are always espresso. Sorry, the espresso one is always all.
Ben Glebe
To the very top.
Adam Carolla
Every chick who orders one is spilling it when she's trying to. Because it's still filled all the way.
Ben Glebe
They can spill to the top, turn.
Adam Carolla
It over and beat on it like.
Ben Glebe
A ketchup bottle up there.
Adam Carolla
What I'm saying is, when the bartender hands the half a martini to the waiter, shouldn't the waiter go, just fucking open that gin bottle and dump a little? Yeah, just dump a little.
Ben Glebe
So he has to walk less.
Adam Carolla
I gotta get tipped by this fucking person and then tip him out too. And I don't want to bring the half. Whatever. But also, where is the science? So here's what I'm saying. The person that's making the martini are. Okay, are we at this point, do we need a graduated martini cylinder? So you just go, this is it. This is. You ordered a martini. This is your Kidding. I get half a glass sometimes. Don't get me started on Utah. Utah. It's like we don't do. I mean, we can't serve more than a hummingbird. Speak of booze.
Ben Glebe
Only on a Friday before sundown. Yeah.
Adam Carolla
You just ordered a martini. You are not getting. You're not getting a martini. But I mean, wild variation, put the teeny.
Ben Glebe
Okay, sorry.
Adam Carolla
This person could not measure it out to such where the guy poured it at the table. It was halfway up the glass and the thing was empty. Now they're supposed to go all the way up and leave you. So what is the bartender doing? Why don't they know? I mean, that's my whole thing is why wouldn't. Wouldn't you feel like after six months of you making martinis, you would have a pretty good vibe for like, what the poor was like? Do you think, like, I used to be in the trades, you know, you'd look at A thing. And you'd go, oh, we got to grout that bat. We got to grout up that bathroom stall. Now we got to the shower cells got to be grouted out. Those guys knew how much grout to sort of COVID They didn't make a shitload of grout and have it all dry up or a little bit of grout and only get through, like, four tiles.
Ben Glebe
You're not showing up to the site without enough grout. That would be horrible for your own life.
Adam Carolla
No, out of grout, you're out. Yeah, it's the sad. I saw the bumper sticker on the guy's truck. What I'm saying is you kind of learn, you know, working.
Ben Glebe
Maybe they're all. Well, maybe they're very busy. And the guy's making like.
Adam Carolla
He's like, isn't a martini kind of what you're doing? Like, why don't you just. Like, I would have a thing. I think I would have it within a teaspoon from my 1 to my 1000th that day. Like, just in terms of the amount. I would always go a little heavy because I like, okay, this guy's ordering a martini, wants to fucking drink.
Ben Glebe
Like, he's here because of the shaker, because you can't see in it. They're kind of going blind a little bit.
Jason May
Yeah, but you're like 1, 1000, 2 1000.
Adam Carolla
But also, you're a bartender, and you go, this person ordered a martini. Pour half a martini. You go, here you go, Bob. Take that over to stable. Like, don't you know that guy's gonna go, where's the rest of the.
Ben Glebe
And that's not like, what. I'm a martini drinker, too. That's not the only issue. I like a very dirty martini. I always say, very dirty, filthy.
Adam Carolla
Guy stirred it with his dick.
Ben Glebe
Well, that's a little too filthy, you said, Mary. Well, let me clarify to a degree. I like it very filthy. And it comes and it's like. It shouldn't have said comes, but. And it arrives and it is like, Tastes just still straight vodka. I go, vodka martini, usually, and there's no dirty in it. And I tell them, please bring me a side thing of martini juice, martini olive juice. They're having to run back and forth. What do they think I mean by very.
Adam Carolla
They're dumb. They're dumb. They're checked out and they don't care. I'm just saying, your answer to the. The variation is such. Where we need a template. Now.
Dawson
There's no excuse. It's Glass for me.
Adam Carolla
Glass for me. Sitting that for 14 minutes.
Unknown
As a former bartender, can I weigh in?
Adam Carolla
Yes. I want to know.
Unknown
A martini glass, a typical martini glass holds far more than you should pour.
Adam Carolla
Yes.
Unknown
In a typical Martini. So like a half full Martini is actually a standard pour now?
Adam Carolla
Yeah.
Unknown
Obviously ridiculous to do that. So now most bartenders pour enough of a martini to fill the whole glass. But a martini glass, when being delivered to the table totally full, spills the whole way. That's why they keep it in the shaker, then they pour it at the table. Then there's six to seven ounces, what a martini glass holds in that shaker, but they put four in there as they bring it over, and then they give you the rest to serve yourself.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. There's methods to everyone's madness. And it's not all, you know. I'm not filing a lawsuit. What I'm saying is.
Jason May
I know. I thought this was an opening statement.
Adam Carolla
Don't offer up the martini glass you speak of. I agree. When you get to the top, you got a lot of booze. I'm talking about the 60s style. That's more the cup. And when the cup is half full, there's just like, there's not anything in it. But I'm just saying, as a bartender, you gotta like your booze. You gotta like your customers. You gotta like your customers, like the booze. You know, I'd always just be heavy hand, because I'd be like, I'm not fucking paying for these bottles. And the one bottle of gin and the one bottle of vodka. I can get 22 martinis out of this and I charge 26 bucks a martini. So we're doing good.
Ben Glebe
A little loose on it. Yes.
Adam Carolla
Financially.
Ben Glebe
But also, there's a conundrum I don't even understand about martinis. And I enjoy drinking them, probably for this reason. But there's like a paradox of martinis, because if you drank the amount of alcohol outside of a martini glass that you're having in a martini, you would be plastered and vomiting on the street. But you put it in a classy glass and suddenly I can drink straight vodka by the pound.
Adam Carolla
Yes.
Ben Glebe
How does it happen? There's like four shots minimum in a martini, and I'm good. I can have three of them. Yeah, well, I'm at 12 shots.
Adam Carolla
They. They used to.
Ben Glebe
You add a little bit of olive juice and suddenly your body can handle more alcohol.
Adam Carolla
They had the three martini lunch, man. Back in the Mad Men days, those guys would go out for lunch, then.
Ben Glebe
They'D go back, instead of pitching their ad campaigns, they would just sexually harass their staff.
Adam Carolla
Yes. It was such a better time. It was a fun time, remember?
Ben Glebe
But why do you. Why can you get Dr. Can you drink more alcohol than a martini? I'm stunned by it.
Adam Carolla
The best time to be alive. Pre aids, mid Coke.
Ben Glebe
Yep.
Adam Carolla
That's the best time to marry birth control.
Ben Glebe
Pre aids, mid Coke.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. Coke was good for you. No one cared about coke. They do it recordly. They pull out at a party wherever. They didn't think coke was bad for you.
Ben Glebe
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Adam Carolla
And AIDS hadn't been invented.
Ben Glebe
Coke has made a comeback.
Adam Carolla
Oh, it has.
Ben Glebe
But ketamine also now is going neck and neck with it.
Adam Carolla
Coke's back, huh?
Ben Glebe
Coke's back. But ketamine, I think is the drug of choice these days at a party. But people will be like, which do you want? And then there's two white powder options. You gotta have a lot of trust.
Adam Carolla
All right, other thoughts?
Ben Glebe
Yep.
Adam Carolla
There was a tragic shooting, another school shooting, and they interviewed the cop, the top cop, I don't know where is it from. Was he this in Georgia?
Jason May
Wisconsin.
Adam Carolla
Wisconsin. Sorry, thanks. They interviewed the police chief and they're asking questions about is there a metal detector at the school? And stuff like that. And he had a very wise solution for why there wasn't a metal detector at the school where a bunch of kids got shot. We'll play you the clip, but it's an answer. And in this answer lies the problem for every modern. Every modern problem that is vexing us will be provided in his answer. We realize if people think this way, this is what we end up with. What sort of gun related policies, if any, were in place at the school and did the school have metal detectors?
Jason May
I'm not aw that the school had metal detectors. Nor should schools have metal detectors. It's a school. It's a safe space.
Adam Carolla
All right? It's a safe space. Well, tell that to the three dead people who obviously the shooter did not recognize it as a safe space.
Ben Glebe
Maybe if somebody had told the shooter.
Adam Carolla
If someone should explain to the shooter that this was a safe space.
Ben Glebe
Is supposed to be a safe space. It's a place for education.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, we don't need. Schools shouldn't have metal detectors because they're safe spaces. The shooters understand they don't have metal detectors and that they're safe spaces so people don't return fire, so they can easily kill people. I agree with him in theory. Schools shouldn't have to have that. So every time I drive underneath one of those walk bridges that go over the freeway. I think, why is there a cage going all the way up and around? And I think because I think people jump off of those bridges and land on moving cars. And I think to myself, they shouldn't have to have them. That's true, but.
Ben Glebe
But they do.
Adam Carolla
They do.
Ben Glebe
And they throw rocks. They'll also throw rocks.
Adam Carolla
They'll throw fucking shit on your car. Okay. Yes. You could get hit by cinder block or hit by human beings. So should.
Ben Glebe
Which would you rather, by the way?
Adam Carolla
I'll go with the human.
Ben Glebe
Yeah, I think so. Softer landing.
Adam Carolla
I would like them aesthetically, just have a nice railing, but they do not. So this here's where the problem lies. A bunch of fucking retards like this guy who gets indignant about what schools should have. That's right. Nobody should this and nobody should that, and schools shouldn't. And kids shouldn't have to live in fear and all that. Okay? That being said, go get some fucking metal detectors, because that's where we're at.
Ben Glebe
Yep.
Adam Carolla
I don't like the razor wire around the freeway signs in la. It's really depressing to drive and look up in la, but somebody keeps graffiti on the signs. And so somebody had to put razor wire around the signs.
Jason May
The latest is they steal the 405 or the 110. Like you don't know where the freeway is anymore because the kids are just snatching those.
Ben Glebe
Well, also, just in general, they hide freeway on ramps.
Jason May
That's right.
Ben Glebe
It's almost like. It's like a. Like a escape room or some sort of a scavenger hunt they really like. It used to be a big production you're getting on the freeway. There's huge signs, and now it's like on a residential street, like next to a house. It's a tiny little sign past it. I do, like three times.
Adam Carolla
I do always feel super sorry for those houses, like when you just go by.
Jason May
Yeah, especially.
Adam Carolla
I don't know why that these. The super depressing tableau of the kids toys in the front of that house, that all the fucking Diesels are going by all day, every day. Well, you love comedy.

Ben Glebe
I really love my life.
Adam Carolla
All right, so this guy's a police chief. I don't know what the fuck he's talking about, but he does not. The school's a safe zone where sometimes people get shot.
Jason May
Like, it's really striking to see him say that in front of that chiron that says three dead, seven wounded.
Ben Glebe
And also this shooting has upended a lot of the conventional wisdom of school shooting because this was a female shooter and she used a handgun.
Adam Carolla
Oh. So, Ben, I do want to say that Israel should not have to have an Iron Dome.
Ben Glebe
Right?
Adam Carolla
They shouldn't.
Ben Glebe
And they should not do it and then receive thousands of rockets a year without any protection.
Adam Carolla
Israel should be announced. They're in a safe space.
Ben Glebe
You mean in an ideal world. Okay, then let's get rid of it.
Adam Carolla
I hate to get rid of the Iron Dome because a country should not have to do that.
Ben Glebe
You're right. You're so right.
Adam Carolla
Canada doesn't have an Iron Dome. Mexico doesn't have one. The Netherlands don't. So why does Israel have to do that?
Ben Glebe
Everything should be the same, regardless of.
Adam Carolla
Shower valves and country should all be the same. And yeah, no country should have to have an iron dome system.
Ben Glebe
Yeah, I think that's a great point.
Adam Carolla
That's a good point.
Ben Glebe
I think it should just be kind of. What's it called when everybody gets the same amount of pay for a thing?
Adam Carolla
Equity.
Ben Glebe
Right, sure. Inclusion, equality, favored nations.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. I wonder what this guy would think about Iron Dome over in Israel if they. Because technically you shouldn't have to have an iron door is what I'm saying.
Ben Glebe
Technically you shouldn't need Armies or police, people should just behave.
Adam Carolla
You should need locks on doors of your home.
Ben Glebe
True. Also, why in the worst areas, like people have homes near freeway on ramps, Is that when the toys are in the front yard?
Adam Carolla
Yes.
Ben Glebe
When even in better areas you wouldn't put the toys in the front yard for safety reasons. Worst neighborhood. But definitely put the toys in the backyard.
Adam Carolla
I will riddle you this.
Ben Glebe
Ben Cleave, please.
Adam Carolla
I've passed through many a very nice neighborhood and seen the stupid sign that looks like there's a turtle with down syndrome and a flag and it says kid zone, slow zone. Never seen a kid playing stickball on that street. Never seen one skateboarding or rollerblade? Never. Only in super expensive neighborhoods. Those kids have outdoor kitchens and trampolines and water slides in their backyard. All the shit neighborhoods where the kids are out in the street on the bikes and fucking running around playing baseball and stuff. They're doing all that. Never seen one of those signs. We really. I'd like to go to those neighborhoods and go, listen, Rich whitey, who you kidding? I've not seen your kid on your front lawn ever.
Ben Glebe
You should do a program where we take the signs. Yeah, neighborhood put them in worse neighborhoods. But I think they probably had the signs and they've just used it like a bat for a wiffle ball now or something in the front yard or.
Adam Carolla
Like a shield during a rock fight or something like that.
Ben Glebe
A gladiator. Kind of a. Yeah, shield. Shield. Sword combo. Baton combo.
Adam Carolla
When have you ever driven through Bel Air and seen kids playing on a front lawn?
Ben Glebe
Rare kids have it rare.
Adam Carolla
It is never. It's like they have a home theater and the backyard has a lazy river in it.
Ben Glebe
I mean, Shine always says, slow children playing. And I think they mean just like all children, not just slow children.
Adam Carolla
You know what it should say in those nice neighborhoods? It should say slow Mexicans gardening. Because that's all I ever see is the guy at the leaf blower and his wife is sweeping the shit up and they're pushing this thing.
Ben Glebe
Did you know gardening is just all leaf blowing? I just started studying my gardeners because I asked them to stop using the leaf blower by my outdoor table and ping pong table because it's just creating dust, like a thin 1/2 inch layer of dust. And I look at them and they don't know what to do if they can't use the leaf blower. I want them to like manicure the garden and the plants and they're just blowing leaves. That's the job. They should Just call themselves leaf blowing companies.
Adam Carolla
I totally agree. And also it never ends up being gathered. It's like half in the neighbor's yard, half in your pool, and it's half.
Ben Glebe
Gathered like in my plants on the floor.
Adam Carolla
They just keep them there, I think.
Ben Glebe
And they're just plumes of dust spilling around. It's making it worse.
Adam Carolla
I think that leaf blower is their sort of superpower. It's like their claim to fame. They're people that don't have much society shuns and looks down upon them.
Ben Glebe
They have Ghostbusters, proton pack.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, yeah. There is no status they have. But when that leaf blower all of a sudden, the power of Zeus, you know what I mean? Like the super rich white chick is walking or labradoodle down the sidewalk and they spin around and the person has to like cower and walk across the street and stuff. It is a. It's a power.
Ben Glebe
And it's just the power to be able to also immediately ignore the person employing them.
Adam Carolla
I wish I had so loud.
Ben Glebe
Ask him, do you mind turning up for a second quick thing? I need you to please trim the palm tree today. And they go, yeah, yeah.
Adam Carolla
They never get into an argument with their wives. Right. Their wife comes around the corner, goes, hey, you left your huarachi.
Ben Glebe
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
Never an argument.
Ben Glebe
Yep. This is a fact.
Adam Carolla
No hassles.
Ben Glebe
Yeah, it's. I don't understand what's happening with it. It's a problem for me. I don't know.
Adam Carolla
They're illegal in Southern California. They are in Los Angeles.
Ben Glebe
Really?
Adam Carolla
Yes. I've gotten in this conversation many, many.
Ben Glebe
And they're flouting the law to keep these machines.
Jason May
Yes, they're illegal, but people are still using them. That's just how it's not enforced.
Adam Carolla
Well, we got different kinds. We got two kinds of illegal. We got illegal. Like you parked your car in a zone for the street sweeper and it said 7 to 10am and we came by at 8am and your car was there that you get a ticket every single time. And then there's somebody's using a leaf blower illegal, which nobody gets a ticket any of the time because it's a brown thing and they don't like the optics of it. So what we do is we go like, jaywalking was illegal. And then black people turned out, did most of the jaywalking. And then they decided it was discriminatory because more black people got jaywalking tickets than non black. So then they legalized jaywalking.
Ben Glebe
Oh, you mean crossing the Street. I thought you meant the old Walking Like a Park Tonight show with Jay Leno segment where he's like, what is this piece of mind? Is this a Mona Lisa? What is this? What do you think this is? Thought that was illegal doing it.
Adam Carolla
Anyway, that show. I mean, any show, first off, any show where how dumb Americans are. I'm done now. Yeah, because when they just go out and they. They open up a map and they go find Mississippi and Mississippi's labeled Mississippi and they can't find Mississippi, or they go, name one founding father or something. Nobody can do it.
Ben Glebe
Name the vice president. They can't do it.
Adam Carolla
Who did we fight in the Civil War? Why did we fight? I mean, you could ask one person on Mount Rushmore. Just anything, anything. And they got nothing. They got nothing. So I'm done with that. But yes, it is. Leaf blowers were outlawed in 99.
Ben Glebe
Interesting.
Adam Carolla
What?
Ben Glebe
What's the reason? Because of the noise?
Jason May
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
Hell yeah. Pollution, noise, everything. For all the reasons you hate.
Ben Glebe
Yeah, I hate it. I hate it. It just can't. I don't. I don't understand it. My pool ends up filled with a whole film of dust also because of this blowout.
Adam Carolla
It's the worst. The worst is when you get your. There's two. You're like driving home from the car wash and you have to drive through a cloud of soot that this guy's just firing up. They should 100% be legal. They pollute more than a full size pickup truck in a year. They pollute that much in 10 minutes because they run off two stroke oil. They don't have catalytic converters. They're louder than shit and we're fucked.
Ben Glebe
I have some two stroke oil at home as well.
Jason May
Yeah?
Adam Carolla
Yeah, very effective standard.
Ben Glebe
It's incredible.
Adam Carolla
Called two stroke.
Jason May
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
Yeah.
Ben Glebe
Sometimes I need a third.
Adam Carolla
All right, can we get rid of this? Show me that clip. Show me that cop clip one more time. I want you to. His words are retarded, but pay attention to the sound in the background. That starts up in about 10 seconds.
Ben Glebe
He has to say his words are down syndrome.
Adam Carolla
Down syndrome words. What sort of gun related policies, if any, were in place at the school? And did the school have metal detectors?
Jason May
I'm not aware that the school had metal detectors. Nor should schools have metal detectors. It's a school. It's a safe space.
Adam Carolla
All right. Hear the backup beeper in the back? I was awoken by one this morning. Could you imagine this utopia? This simple utopia. No more backup beepers, no more leaf blowers. I would sleep until four in the afternoon every single day.
Ben Glebe
I would love to.
Adam Carolla
I don't know if I'd ever wake up. No, they'd go, where's Carola? He's been asleep. You said that nine months ago. He's still there.
Ben Glebe
I also love that we just watched again a clip about a school shooting. And you're like, you hear in the background the beeping and it bothers me in my sleep. That was what was really bothering me.
Adam Carolla
Four kids not only had to be.
Ben Glebe
Exposed, they also, in their trauma, have to hear this. But also there's another issue here about this police chief. I realize not only is it ridiculous in a world with constant school shootings to be saying we shouldn't need metal detectors, but the one person who certainly shouldn't be saying it is the police chief.
Adam Carolla
I agree.
Ben Glebe
He's the guy whose whole job is to do anything, to create, to protect the people and keep the safety. So maybe, like, you can have your politicians saying we're gonna pass legislation so that we don't need metal detectors, but the cop needs to say, we're putting metal detectors in the morning. We should have done it already.
Adam Carolla
Well, no, you're right, because the cops, like, you shouldn't, you shouldn't need me to do anything to have a deadbolt on your front door. And you shouldn't need outdoor lining. But that's, that's the times we're living in. And by the way, whenever they do those things, where they go, what can we do? Like, here's what the police recommend. Okay? All the things the police recommends. I go, don't leave valuables in your car in view of whatever. When you leave the home, turn a light on, make sure you have a good, functioning, high quality deadbolt and front door. An alarm system helps outdoor lighting. You know, all the stuff that you shouldn't have to do. Like you should be able to climb out of your car, leave your computer on your passenger seat and go back in. You should be able to do that. But that cop, that fucking cop would tell you you're fool if you leave your computer on your passenger seat and you park your car in Oakland, that's on you.
Ben Glebe
Their solutions are just don't live. Solutions are, well, all you have to do is don't leave the house. If you do, make sure you're wearing full catchers equipment. Don't bring things with you.
Adam Carolla
No. Here they tell you if you have a fancy watch, you leave it at home. You know, if you're going out, you're driving an expensive car, put on rags.
Ben Glebe
Put on like a homeless outfit.
Adam Carolla
That's right.
Ben Glebe
Create cover illusion that you're homeless and you'll be safe from most crimes.
Adam Carolla
You know, I was gonna cut this guy some slack, Joe, because he looks like Mike Singletary. Yeah, I mean, this guy's Mike Single fucking Terry. This guy. That's not quite. That's not the Singletary angle.
Ben Glebe
Like Tracy Morgan.
Adam Carolla
We need, we need that. Yeah, I need a little more. There's somewhere in between where he looks like Mike Singletary. Yeah, I think that's the Mike Singletary shot. But anyway, hall of fame inside linebacker, Chicago Bears. I don't have to tell you Jews about football.
Ben Glebe
Also, I don't know if you saw this other clip about this shooting, but the like, the mayor of this town gave a speech and her whole speech was about how upset she was that she and other legislators have to deal with it. It wasn't about the tragedy. She really said no mayor should have to deal with this and no police chief should have to deal with this. Or fire chief. And let's try to work for a world where no public official ever again has to deal. It was all about her inconvenience of paperwork and having to make make public statements. Well, okay, the kids were not mentioned in this speech.
Adam Carolla
Right. So let's drill down and think about this for a second. No. Okay, so I don't want anybody in charge who even says this is unacceptable. Because that's the new. The new world orders. They go, they do a few things. They go, this is unacceptable. Will bitch accept it? Cuz it happened 25 minutes ago. So I'm glad that you don't accept it, but it's like saying it's like me standing on the rubble that was my house after the earthquake and announcing this is unacceptable. You know what I mean? Okay, it happened and I didn't. You couldn't undo it. Now I could have earthquake proofed my home by bolting it to the foundation. You know, getting out a roto hammer.
Ben Glebe
Could have expected an earthquake in the earthquake.
Adam Carolla
Southern California. I'm saying, what is so different a scenario you can earthquake proof your home. I used to do it for a living. You crawl under your house, you drill holes in the footing and you bolt your bottom plate to it with the all thread and then you shear wall. The cripple wall. Yes, we'll call miniature walls cripple walls. In that business, you homos are arguing over whether you can say master bedroom or master suite or master whatever. We're still throwing Cripple wall. Wall down. Back then, there's all miniature walls in. In the building world are just called crippled.
Jason May
What's the entomology of that?
Adam Carolla
It's not a full size wall. It's a crippled wall. It's a miniature.
Jason May
Okay.
Ben Glebe
It's a. Crippled people are typically smaller.
Jason May
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
Well, they're not necessarily born shorter, but eventually they end up in a wheelchair or on those weird crutches that only go as high as your elbow.
Jason May
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
Which somehow means you. You get the full size crutches. You may be an NFL baller, but you get the weird polio one.
Ben Glebe
They get the full size crutches.
Adam Carolla
Yeah.
Ben Glebe
I only heal to a certain degree.
Adam Carolla
Crutch. Yeah. We got Singletary and the cop together. Let's see if this.
Ben Glebe
There we go.
Adam Carolla
All right. I know. That's what we call a black simile. Yeah.
Jason May
You're right.
Adam Carolla
You understand. It's a perfect example of a black simile. I'd like to just be in the press and I'd just be. I'd be there and the chick be like, how about metal detectors? And he'd be like, there's no place for metal detectors. And these are schools. They should be safe zones. During the 85 season, you guys ran a 42 or 4 4. Settle an argument. Okay. And Richard Dent. Would you say he belongs in the hall of fame or not? Do you think Richard Dent should be in a hall of fame? I think he should be. Dan Hampton, you want to talk run stopper. Your thoughts?
Unknown
Remember the Mike Singletary crazy press conference?
Adam Carolla
Yes.
Unknown
When he was like, cannot win with him, cannot play.
Jason May
Yeah.
Unknown
I would like to hear him responding like that to the metal detector.
Adam Carolla
I like Singletary because a lot of guys wear, you know, a miniature crucifix around their neck to show their faith. He wears a full size. He would wear a cross the size of the ones that Christ was nailed to around his neck.
Jason May
Kill vampires.
Adam Carolla
He could kill vampires. Yeah. Some a vampire would recognize.
Ben Glebe
That's pretty big.
Adam Carolla
He could hold this thing up. He could ward off a vampire. Most people have crosses where, if they're trying to thwart a vampire, the vampire would stop and go like, what. What is that?
Ben Glebe
That just, like, tickles a little. Yeah.
Adam Carolla
Is that a. I don't know. I can't. Your forefinger's covering up most of it, so I don't know what that is.
Ben Glebe
Or it's a plus sign. No.
Adam Carolla
Is that a lowercase T? Is your name Tom?
Ben Glebe
No.
Adam Carolla
He had a full size wooden crucifixion hung and he was a badass. And yes, I would like him to be the police chief of any town.
Ben Glebe
Well, also, now that you bring up Christ, it brings me back to hotel rooms and standard items. Because one of the things that isn't standard everywhere but closest you get in a hotel, two standard Gideon's is. No, no, no, that's true. That's the most standard Gideon Bible. But is the soap that they use in most hotels is from the brand Gilchrist and Soames. You do see that everywhere and wherever. I've seen it my whole life. I always just think, really after the soap company, Gill and Soames underperformed compared to Christ.
Adam Carolla
Yes.
Ben Glebe
Christ had a great second chapter, great run after the soap business.
Adam Carolla
Yeah.
Ben Glebe
And Gill and so what have they done? Almost nothing.
Jason May
Well, give them three days. They're dead now.
Ben Glebe
They disappear. They seem to have disappeared.
Adam Carolla
Three days we got angry Singletary rant.
Jason May
Nice.
Adam Carolla
By the way, it's about the team.
Ben Glebe
Cannot play with them, cannot win with.
Adam Carolla
Them, cannot coach with them.
Jason May
Can't do it.
Adam Carolla
I want winners. I want people that want to win. Yeah, well, he played hard nose ball in the 80s when they did battle. And all he knows is a hundred percent all the time.
Ben Glebe
What do you think the vibe was next time you saw the team speech?
Adam Carolla
Not good.
Ben Glebe
They were like, bro, they're bumped under the bus.
Jason May
Right.
Adam Carolla
Those guys don't care though. I mean, they're hardcore and they're. They're. He's more angry at them than they are at him. Did he get personnel changes after that, I'm guessing. Well, he got changed.
Ben Glebe
He got fired.
Adam Carolla
Well, he injured himself dragging his crucifix across the. Shake the other guy's hand after the game and he threw his neck out. So he sidelined for a while and he never came back. He never came back.
Ben Glebe
He's an intense man. That's just a single terrier. Imagine if you had a double or double.
Adam Carolla
Double or triple tearing.
Ben Glebe
And that'd be a very serious guy. The bootstrap, hilariously.
Adam Carolla
All right. Getting rid of the leaf blower and get rid of the backup beeper.
Jason May
Creating martini standard again.
Ben Glebe
Make them standard and put metal detectors in all schools and martini bars, I think at this point.
Adam Carolla
And so what I was getting to, which is any politician that announces this is unacceptable after it happened or like when. Remember when de Blasio, during COVID was like, if one person dies, that's what. Okay, somebody died in the last ten minutes, dumb fuck. Now make some decent fucking policy and stop telling me if one person Dies. Many multiples of one are gonna die. We're gonna be in the millions here. That's what's gonna happen. Now you need to do something that saves some of the old people, but doesn't fuck the kids up by locking schools for three years, but not announce one. One has already died, you fucking retard. And you can't say things that already happened are unacceptable. They already fucking happen. I don't know if you have this witch's speech, but this is taking soft dumb people and putting them in charge. And all they know is fucking platitudes like they're sitting around going, you know, when these people come here to this country, they deserve dignity. They deserve a seat at the temple. They just walked here from Honduras being raped every 20ft. What they need is a fucking shelter and some slop. The dignity and the seat at the table. That's all these are all. That's window dressing, bitch. And I don't even know what it means. You've just got raped here repeatedly brought over on the back of a coyote, and you walked here from fucking Honduras, and that's not your real dad. So what are we talking about when we're talking about dignity?
Ben Glebe
Yeah, I mean, probably not every 20ft, but other than that. I take your point for sure. Amount of rapes happening, that might have been 50 or 100ft, but.
Adam Carolla
Oh, yeah, yeah, right.
Ben Glebe
More every 20ft. A lot of, you know, a line of them.
Adam Carolla
I used hyperbole.
Ben Glebe
It was a little bit of hyperbole, but. But I do agree. It's like when people are coming out for a better life, they don't need every luxury of the country they're coming to. They're just looking to not be.
Adam Carolla
You know what a luxury dignity is when you're hungry and you're shoeless.
Ben Glebe
Well, that is also, I thought was actually a brilliant strategy of the Republican governors in, like, Texas and Florida is. Was shipping the best move ever illegals to, like, Rhode island and like, to Martha's Vineyard. Because all of a sudden everybody that was so wanting every immigrant here, they couldn't handle a hundred of them.
Adam Carolla
No, I know border towns are taking.
Ben Glebe
Hundreds of thousands and they're fine. They couldn't handle a hundred.
Adam Carolla
No, but they're sanctuary cities where everyone deserves to be treated with dignity, theoretically. Right. Until somebody shows up.
Ben Glebe
Until anybody take them up on that.
Adam Carolla
Right. So you're a sanctuary city until a bus pulls up and a bunch of migrants get off and then you have no fucking idea what to do and you're A safe space until the bullets start flying, and then you don't have a plan. That's what I'm saying.
Ben Glebe
It's a lot of words. Also, speaking of words, you just made me think of another thing. You know, earlier you said that it was a retarded thing you said, and I said, you got to say down syndrome. And then I realized really, what we should do to solve this problem also is just if a group doesn't like the derogatory version of a term being used, they should just stop using that term for themselves instead of making us not get to use the term for the fun stuff. Like, if you don't like being called retarded, then you should just say you have down syndrome. But why can't we. Let's just make retarded only a word for dumb actions.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, I feel the same way with the N word.
Ben Glebe
So I resumed my entire argument.
Adam Carolla
Hold on.
Ben Glebe
You found out very quickly.
Adam Carolla
Down is a. Downs is a name.
Jason May
Down. Yeah.
Adam Carolla
Well, there was Hugh Downs. Hugh Downs was a famous anchor. 2020 with Hugh Downs. Did he invent down syndrome? I mean, not him, but his grandfather.
Ben Glebe
His grandfather, yeah.
Adam Carolla
Hezekiah Downs.
Ben Glebe
I'm Hugh Downs, and I have a touch of it. We'll be right back.
Adam Carolla
Is down syndrome named after somebody?
Jason May
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
Or is it because you're down, you've been detuned, like, down. Down rounded, or you're just sad about.
Jason May
It a little bit?
Adam Carolla
Yeah, yeah. You're pretty down about your syndrome, right? Like, what's the origins of down syndrome?
Jason May
Got to be a doctor that figured it out.
Adam Carolla
Doctor Down.
Jason May
Some guy who had it, like, Lou Gehri disease.
Adam Carolla
Right.
Ben Glebe
You think Lou Gehrig is also responsible for this?
Jason May
He said he's the one who named it down syndrome.
Ben Glebe
Interesting. Today, I consider myself the most downy. Robert Downey Jr.
Jason May
The downest man in the world.
Adam Carolla
Here's a problem. Okay, so is down syndrome named after a guy who discovered.
Ben Glebe
Gotta be.
Unknown
Yes. Named after John Langdon Down Langdon, a British physician who was the first to accurately describe the physical characteristics. Characteristics of the condition.
Adam Carolla
And isn't that unfortunate? You know what I mean? Because. No, because when I think down syndrome, I think Down. Like. Like, I look at the wrong name. Well, what I'm saying is, is up you go. He's up. He's peppy. You know, he's on his feet. You know, he's having a good day. He's upbeat. He's upbeat up, you know, sort of good, that guy. You know, upbeat would mean sharp and on top of it. And you know, fast on his feet and stuff like that. Down just feels.
Dawson
I feel you. But I think you could be down with the syndrome, and you're pretty cool.
Adam Carolla
Oh, you're down.
Ben Glebe
I'm interesting. But I feel like if his name was up or like Dr. Upton, they wouldn't have probably named the syndrome after him.
Jason May
Definitely not.
Ben Glebe
Yeah, it would be.
Adam Carolla
It would. It would come across. It'd be more palatable if it was.
Ben Glebe
You think it would have been good if down syndrome was called up syndrome?
Adam Carolla
Well, let's put it to you this way.
Ben Glebe
You think they'd be accepted more easily in society?
Jason May
I'd be like, you're an uptard.
Unknown
Well, they're.
Ben Glebe
You'd still have tard.
Unknown
They're up a chromosome.
Adam Carolla
I work with a plumber named Bob Joya.
Jason May
Nice.
Adam Carolla
Joya. You know what I mean? Joya syndrome sounds like a much happier place to be than down syndrome.
Ben Glebe
It's a great syndrome.
Adam Carolla
You know what I'm saying?
Ben Glebe
And I'll tell you, it's a Kamala Harris syndrome. It's all about Joya.
Adam Carolla
And also, then you get back to. You got. Get back. You're so brat. Then you get back to. Oh, God. Oh, God. What's her name? Who? Sung Titanic.
Ben Glebe
Celine Dion.
Adam Carolla
Celine Dion.
Ben Glebe
Shall we go for it?
Adam Carolla
She has stiff person disease.
Ben Glebe
Yeah. Which I wish. Wish I had that. You know what I mean?
Adam Carolla
She wishes it was named after the guy who invented it or discovered it.
Ben Glebe
Right, right.
Adam Carolla
She's just called a stiff person.
Ben Glebe
Hers is just described. Exactly. Instead of been called what?
Jason May
She's stiff. Like, literally stiff.
Adam Carolla
I'm saying, I think it makes you a little slow. Uniformity in shower valves, Martini sizes and disease naming. Because one's after a guy's name, but it could be something else because downs mean something. She's named Lou Gehrig. Is, you know, Lou Gehrig. She's got stiff. Okay. Crohn's is just called Crohn's. Right?
Ben Glebe
That's the guy's name. Gotta be a guy's name.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, yeah. But we're nice enough to go, let's call it Crohn's. Let's not call it shits all over the fucking office disease. But then with her, she's got stiff person disease.
Ben Glebe
But those are also good for the sufferer. But do the doctors that discover these things get to weigh in whether it gets named after them? Like, let's say you discover people that are shitting all over the place and they're like, it's called Crohn's disease, and you're like, no, no, no, no, no. I don't need. Every time now. My name being associated with shitting. You go check in at a restaurant and you're like, hey, it's Dr. Crohn's. No, thanks.
Adam Carolla
I mean, think about the face you'd make if Dr. Crohn's was swinging by you.
Ben Glebe
He ruins his life. He's doing the world a favor discovering this disease, and he can't go to a restaurant.
Jason May
What happened to his milkshake company?
Adam Carolla
Yeah, it's gone.
Dawson
Stiff's person's disease would be called Morsh and Woltman disease.
Jason May
Marshall.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, but it didn't catch on.
Jason May
Not catchy.
Adam Carolla
You know who.
Dawson
They're the guys who found it.
Adam Carolla
You know, figure this out. Bob Jacuzzi. That guy was like, I'm gonna. I will be in the baby making pleasure, getting dick sucking, champagne popping. Every fucking day you spend inside of my name is gonna be a good day.
Ben Glebe
That's a great. That name I'm accepting.
Adam Carolla
Jacuzzi guy was a fucking genius. And if you met some guy. Oh, yeah, you know, Jack Jacuzzi. You'd go, heck, I like that guy. I don't like that. Dr. Crohn's over there.
Ben Glebe
Jacuzzi. Come on in.
Adam Carolla
Jacuzzi. Right this way.
Ben Glebe
Crohn's.
Adam Carolla
And we wait over there. Try not to up the space.
Jason May
Yeah. Crohn's are not allowed in this Jacuzzi.
Adam Carolla
Who would you invite to your super bowl party? Yeah, Dr. Crohn's or Bob Jacuzzi.
Ben Glebe
Jacuzzi's in Jacuzzi.
Jason May
And then I'll have Zamboni along with.
Adam Carolla
Jacuzzi, watching the hockey game. Zamboni. He brings limited pleasure, but he's too smart.
Jason May
He's a smart guy.
Adam Carolla
I got to name that machine. They both sound like paisans to me. Jacuzzi and Zamponi, like, ever hung out.
Ben Glebe
Yeah. And doc. Then in the corner, they're hanging out, and Dr. Downs is just sad over there with Crohn's. Never getting seated, crying. Crohn's and Downs just sitting there like a bunch of sad sacks.
Adam Carolla
That the Zamboni can't be much older than the Jacuzzi.
Jason May
No, no.
Adam Carolla
They gotta be about the same technical.
Jason May
Level of, like, water heating and also ice smoothing. There's like. Yeah.
Adam Carolla
I'm so lucky I didn't have a magic wand, because if I. When I was, like, nine, if you took me to a Kings game and said, would you like the job of the guy who drives the Zamboni? And I go, yeah. And they've got. But it'd be for 80 years. I'd go, oh, fuck.
Ben Glebe
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Adam Carolla
And I get to fucking drive that Zampone. Yeah. You're probably awesome.
Ben Glebe
You're buying snacks up there. You're probably gonna have candy up there.
Adam Carolla
Oh, yeah. Everyone's waiting. They're all waiting on you.
Ben Glebe
Also, it's physically impossible to be at a hockey game and the Zamboni hits the ice and not watch it. Change the texture of the ice every way it goes. You have to watch it.
Jason May
I can't look away.
Ben Glebe
I just love seeing it go from ice to different color of ice.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. Okay. All right, so let's figure this out.
Ben Glebe
It's like watching the screensaver on your dvd.
Adam Carolla
Go around it hits the corner. The Zamboni invented in 1950. 1949 in California. It's a weird place. Invented ice resurfacer. But that sucks. All right. The Jacuzzi. Okay, so there is 68. It seems a little late for a Jacuzzi.
Dawson
They were developing the water pumps, though, in 48. So right around the same time that.
Adam Carolla
They'Re saying Zamboni and Jacuzzi are only. They're 19 years apart. Right. And they're both adults. They had to show up at a cocktail party.
Ben Glebe
Yeah.
Jason May
They're contemporaries.
Adam Carolla
Where did Zamboni. Zamboni lived in California. Now, if Jacuzzi lived on the east coast, that's. It's. California feels very Jacuzzi.
Jason May
But I'm saying these guys are jet setters. Jacuzzi, they're buddy.
Adam Carolla
That.
Jason May
That's a buddy comedy if I ever heard one.
Ben Glebe
Or it's a law firm here at the law firm of Jacuzzi and Zamboni.
Adam Carolla
Jacuzzi is headquarters.
Ben Glebe
If you slip on the ice, you drown in a hot tub.
Dawson
You see us in Irvine, California.
Adam Carolla
Jacuzzi is.
Ben Glebe
Wow. California boys. All right.
Adam Carolla
And where Zamboni and Jacuzzi knew each other 100%. There's no out about.
Dawson
Was developed in Paramount, California.
Ben Glebe
I'm astounded. Nobody sat in hot water before 68. There was no jets in a hot water. I think 68.
Unknown
I think hot tubs existed. But Jacuzzis are like Xerox machines, you know, it's like a type. It's like a brand standard. Oh, and they're so good that they became.
Ben Glebe
That's interesting.
Adam Carolla
Ubiquitous.
Unknown
Ubiquitous.
Adam Carolla
The title. Find a picture of Zamboni and Jacuzzi together, like from 74. Because I. They. They had to have Hobnobbed. They're both rich and powerful Italian men.
Ben Glebe
Even if they didn't hobnob, they're definitely. I'm sure they exist. They were wearing suits with the collars out. They were, like, really, like, socialites.
Jason May
They were made about that. Their mothers went to church together for sure.
Ben Glebe
Hey, Phil Zamboni.
Adam Carolla
Hey, Bob.
Ben Glebe
Jacuzzi.
Adam Carolla
How are you?
Ben Glebe
Hey, it's great to see you. Hey, Adam.
Adam Carolla
Listen, I. I know I missed your kid's wedding. It's a little something for Troy.
Ben Glebe
Here's a little coupon for 50 off some bubblers, huh?
Adam Carolla
Hey, how's that frozen lake treating you? It's good. It looks like it'd be a little smoother.
Ben Glebe
You know, the ice in this cocktail reminds me of a great day in my life. Here he goes again.
Adam Carolla
Oh, wait, I'm Jacuzzi or Sampone right now.
Ben Glebe
I don't know. I became Zamboni.
Adam Carolla
Are they both. They both got to be a talent show. Your dad would know this.
Unknown
I can do you one better. They've put a Jacuzzi in a Zamboni.
Adam Carolla
Zamboni. Jacuzzi. Oh, no. Do you know my number one invention that I think would conquer the world?
Ben Glebe
What's that?
Adam Carolla
The Fonduzi filled with melted cheese. Yeah. That'd be the hit of every party.
Ben Glebe
Using it while you use it.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, Just you hold chips, you get like, a pillowcase worth it.
Ben Glebe
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
You get a raft filled with chips.
Ben Glebe
Okay, that's great.
Adam Carolla
Your fart takes 10 minutes to come to the service, and only when it.
Ben Glebe
Bubbles do you know it's time to get out.
Adam Carolla
It's time to get out.
Ben Glebe
Absolutely.
Adam Carolla
The raft of taco chips would float by. You just grab a little in there.
Ben Glebe
Yeah. A little dick flavored chips.
Adam Carolla
Little jalapeno dinghies, you know, just sort of being pulled by the big raft.
Ben Glebe
That's right.
Adam Carolla
They made a Zamboni. A Jacuzzi Zamboni.
Ben Glebe
I love it.
Jason May
I'm loving it now.
Ben Glebe
It's the dream job, Adam.
Adam Carolla
Now you're back to your.
Ben Glebe
If you had the wand now, you would take it.
Adam Carolla
I'm back to the dream. All right, let's take a break, and then we're gonna do some news right after this.
Dawson
Adam Carolla comes Clean, now available@angel.com.
Adam Carolla
I think the problem with Olympic fencing is the outfits. They dress like X ray technicians with a spaghetti colander on their head. They should be forced to wear the outfits of their country swordsmen from back in the day. Right. France would have a musketeer Japan would have a samurai. United States, a homeless guy with a machete. He's got a load in his sweatpants.

Dawson
Ben Gleb is on the Adam Carolla Show.
Adam Carolla
Ben's got a special, the Mad King's available on YouTube where we find finer podcasts as well. All right, Mayhem, you got some news.
Jason May
Got some news. First up in celebrity news, Kristin Cavallari. Kristin Cavallari.
Ben Glebe
I think it's calamari.
Jason May
Yeah, that felt like it is. I think it's Yellowstone star Kevin Costner and admits he's her forever crush.
Adam Carolla
He is her forever. She loves.
Ben Glebe
He would be so lucky.
Adam Carolla
You like her?
Ben Glebe
I love her.
Adam Carolla
What do you like about her?
Ben Glebe
I just think she's beautiful. I'm a brunette guy usually don't like blondes, but she's something about her. Beautiful, Great face, great body, great vibe, classy, stylish.
Adam Carolla
Really?
Ben Glebe
Yeah.
Jason May
I find her very annoying.
Ben Glebe
Really?
Jason May
Rating.
Ben Glebe
I mean, I shouldn't even be saying that because she dated my friend, but really grading.
Jason May
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
Who'd she date that, you know?
Ben Glebe
Jeff Dye?
Adam Carolla
Oh, Jeff Dye. Yeah. He has feelings about that relationship.
Ben Glebe
I think he does. Yeah.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. I may have a couple.
Ben Glebe
Yep.
Adam Carolla
I may have heard some.
Ben Glebe
Yep. I should have never said this, but she's very attractive, I think.
Adam Carolla
All right, well, we're gonna hear her. She. Oh, oh, oh. Something's on the screen. That's why I thought there was a clip or something.
Unknown
This was her responding. She responded in texts on her Instagram story. Give him my number. Forever crush.
Ben Glebe
And even that picture is hot. That she did it on top of. She's, like, laying in bed with, like, sweats with her legs half crossed, ready for Kevin Costner to walk in this room. And Tatanka. You know what I mean? Tatanka.
Adam Carolla
Does. Yeah. I like to think Costner is above this.
Ben Glebe
Oh, no doubt.
Adam Carolla
But I don't know.
Ben Glebe
He's also 80 and she's 30.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, but he looks.
Ben Glebe
He looks good.
Adam Carolla
He looks good. He just made me a video.
Ben Glebe
He did?
Adam Carolla
Yeah.
Ben Glebe
What do you mean? Just for no reason, I told him.
Adam Carolla
He'S 69 years of age. The guys.
Ben Glebe
You told him he was 69?
Jason May
No, wait, who's 69?
Adam Carolla
Costner. 69. Sorry. The guys from Dry Bar. Which, by the way, my special is available at drybar now, but you subscribe. Would have to subscribe, but Shelby released for free on YouTube coming up shortly. So people are aware of that.
Ben Glebe
As soon as Shelby does it.
Adam Carolla
The guys went. The guys from Angel Studios went and had some sort of meeting with Costner, and he. And they asked him to say hi to me or he said hi or something. It's kind of the only celebrity friend I have that Jimmy's a celebrity, but I knew him before he was a celebrity, so Costner was always a celebrity before I got into show business. So he may be. I mean, what movie do you love.
Ben Glebe
Him from is Dances With Wolves? Or is it all of his 19 sports movies?
Jason May
The bicycle movie.
Ben Glebe
The bicycle movie.
Adam Carolla
American Flyer?
Ben Glebe
I don't know that one.
Adam Carolla
Oh, come on.
Jason May
Sweet mustache.
Adam Carolla
Sweet mustache.
Ben Glebe
By the way, I'm sorry that I couldn't come to the Christmas party. That's a great party. I had a slightly even crazier event I was invited to beforehand that I had to. I could not say no to. That was an event with Oprah and Meghan Markle. I had to. Not Oprah. Oprah Winfrey. You've heard of that?
Adam Carolla
Oprah? Yeah, yeah. What was that?
Ben Glebe
It was a gala honoring Tyler Perry the Paley Center Honors. And I mostly just went because I heard there's, like, some rumors that maybe Meghan Markle and Prince Harry were on the. On the. On the outs. And I wanted to make. Got a chance to make my move.
Jason May
Get in there.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, you know, they. You know, in terms of shooting your shot, you know, I mean, Kelsey did that with Taylor Swift, and. Yeah, worked out pretty good. Like, why not?
Ben Glebe
100%.
Jason May
Yeah. I heard they're on the outs, and I try to get with the prince myself.
Adam Carolla
Oh, he tried to get with the prince.
Ben Glebe
He seems mayhem. And Harry, I like that.
Jason May
I know, it's hot.
Adam Carolla
He seems like a zero to me.
Ben Glebe
He's boring.
Jason May
I met him. Yeah, he's like a standard, you know, standard white guy. Yeah.
Adam Carolla
So anyway, I like Costner. I'll tell you. Underrated Waterworld.
Jason May
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
Interesting. Kind of dynamic, innovative. Had some cool things, led to a.
Ben Glebe
Whole attraction at Universal.
Adam Carolla
Dennis Hopper, funny smokers on the Exxon Valdez. Guys, Lots of. Listen, anything. There's anytime there's stunts on jet skis. I mean, anytime guys are jumping jet skis, I'm in.
Dawson
And there was a part where they. Where Costner slaps little girl and says.
Adam Carolla
What are you doing?
Dawson
Or something. And I think it's Jack Black flying the plane. And he sees him slapper. And he goes, nice touch.
Adam Carolla
Wow. Jack Black.
Dawson
It's a Jack Black looking guy.
Adam Carolla
It was a crazy guy flying that. Whatever. Yeah, the kite or whatever it is. Yeah. I'm gonna take a deep dive, pardon the pun, and go for Waterworld.
Ben Glebe
Okay. It's a good one.
Adam Carolla
It's a good one.
Ben Glebe
I would probably choose Bull Durham or For Love of the Game.
Adam Carolla
Yep, that's.
Ben Glebe
Or Field of Dreams. I mean, all of his baseball ones were the best.
Adam Carolla
I don't like movies where guys honor their dads.
Ben Glebe
Interesting.
Adam Carolla
It makes me angry.
Ben Glebe
Interesting. Is that all three of them? No, that's just Field of Dreams.
Adam Carolla
Field of Dreams.
Ben Glebe
You don't like Field of Dreams?
Adam Carolla
I don't like movies where the dads are honored.
Ben Glebe
You don't like a game of catch with your dad at the end?
Adam Carolla
It makes me angry.
Ben Glebe
Okay. All right.
Adam Carolla
My dad and I never had that moment.
Ben Glebe
I understand that.
Adam Carolla
Okay.
Ben Glebe
Now I also, with the Field of Dreams, it's possible now, but. Okay, you make your choices.
Adam Carolla
My dad wasn't possible when he was alive.
Ben Glebe
Yeah, but the things are different. You get a lot of wisdom and like, you get a lot chiller when you're.
Jason May
Yeah, yeah.
Adam Carolla
My dad's died a couple months ago. I haven't heard anything from him.
Ben Glebe
Really?
Jason May
That's cuz you haven't built the jazz club yet.
Adam Carolla
Jazz club? My dad could play the trumpet. I don't like. I don't. I hate dusty movies. Like that movie where the Rock played, whatever the black superhero was, Black Adam from Egypt or whatever. One big pile of dust. And like it was all shit falling down and poof. You know, everything was fucking dust. I wanted to take a fucking shower. Halfway into that movie I worked earthquake rehab. Did I mention that? Dust. It's fucking dust. Roto hammers into masonry. Dust. Dust. You know what? You'd have to do leaf blower.
Ben Glebe
You would need a leaf blower.
Jason May
Yeah, two of them.
Adam Carolla
You want to know worse than a leaf blower? When you would roto hammer, which is concrete drill into the foundation before you would fill the hole with epoxy and then put all thread in so you could bolt down the foundation.
Ben Glebe
You got to strengthen that cripple wall.
Adam Carolla
You had to fucking blow it out with air. You know what 100 year old footing foundation is when you're underneath a fucking building and you got to bring in compressed air. Like, are you using one of those.
Ben Glebe
Cans you use for your computer or is it like more leaf blower, industrial.
Adam Carolla
Strength, had compressors all over. On a construction site, you'd have like one, I don't know, 20 gallon compressor and then like five hoses all going off. And you'd be using nail guns and blowing out shit and stuff like that. But the earthquake rehab's the fucking worst. But dust, I don't like dust. But you know, I don't like movies that are dusty. But then that stupid Black Adam movies, all it was was dust.
Jason May
Dust. I think you were talking about Scorpion Kids.
Adam Carolla
No, I'm talking about. I won't see that one either. But Water World.
Jason May
Oh yeah.
Adam Carolla
Zero dust.
Ben Glebe
They wish they had.
Adam Carolla
They wish they prayed for dust. There wasn't to be found. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, Field of Dreams, they had to drag the field once, so it got a little dusty. True, you know.
Ben Glebe
True. If only they had a Zamboni instead of the boys. Just scrape in the, the infield.
Jason May
You're right.
Ben Glebe
With that long thing, that weird mesh screen thing. I also like watching that though, because I always think they're gonna miss part of the dirt. And they don't really miss any dirt.
Adam Carolla
So anyway, she shooting her shot with Costner?
Ben Glebe
Yep.
Jason May
Yeah. Cause he just recently got divorced. She just broke up with this 24 year old TikTok boy.
Adam Carolla
Do you have that Costner video, Joe? Did we ever send that to you? No. Huh. Tim?
Ben Glebe
Mike, what did Costner say to you?
Adam Carolla
Oh, he was talking about me trying to having to do a clean set for Drybar.
Ben Glebe
Oh, yeah. I was gonna ask, would you able to do a clean set for Drybar? Fuck no.
Adam Carolla
Tell August to send it to you. I think he has it. Yeah, I've said it once, I'll say it again. I looked at it as a challenge. You know, I don't. I disagree. When any, any professional comedian goes, I could never do it. You could do it. You're gonna have to get into your Material. But I am telling you, people do not dismiss it by saying it's the verbiage. It's the shits and the fucks. It's not that. It's the themes. It's the stuff you're talking about. That's no fly where you wouldn't get. You don't get to do that idea. You can take any joke and clean it up for sure, but you can't take an idea for a joke to.
Ben Glebe
Clean it up that they wouldn't let you do.
Adam Carolla
Every.
Ben Glebe
Everyone.
Adam Carolla
Most of my material is, like, fucking. You know, I shouldn't say most, but I'd say a fair degree of material is like. Like, themed. Badly.
Ben Glebe
Yeah. I mean, those of you listening to this, Adam's face just running through his material right now just looked almost traumatized by his own material.
Adam Carolla
I've been traumatized. I mean, I'm trying to think how long to go into this, but there's a bit about. I found out that Gavin Newsom wanted his own alert for when black kids were missing because we have the Ebony Alert. He wanted to institute the Ebony Alert. We have the Amber Alert. But this is a true thing. He did do this. Wow. So anyway, the long and the short of the joke is the Amber Alert is basically for missing kids, but because Gavin Newsom's basically a racist, he wants the Ebony Alert for missing black kids. But I looked into it, which I did, and I was like, where are all these Amber Alerts? And you think it's a kid in a primered van going to Mexico? It's not. It's just dads who got screwed in a divorce hearing, a custody issue, wanting to spend a little more time with their kids. So it's really just dads wanting to spend more time with their kids. So as far as the Ebony Alert goes, we can rule them out. If a black kid goes missing, we gotta look now, because it's not dad trying to get an extra game of Parcheesia.
Ben Glebe
That's almost the reason why you do need an Ebony Alert.
Adam Carolla
Right. And so while there's no profanity whatsoever, I understand thematically, it's a harsh, racist, are too dark racist joke.
Ben Glebe
Well, a lot of people are policing material because I'm gonna, I think, gonna be doing an only fan set soon.
Adam Carolla
Oh, really?
Ben Glebe
They don't want you doing, like, anything offensive or political. I'm like, only fans.
Adam Carolla
What?
Ben Glebe
They want it to be just. It could be titillating, but it can't be. They don't want politics. They don't want. I'M like, are you sure there's like lines that there's lines here? Okay.
Adam Carolla
Wow.
Ben Glebe
Yeah. I was. I was astounded.
Adam Carolla
How does that work?
Ben Glebe
I don't know.
Adam Carolla
Where do you shoot it?
Ben Glebe
Ice House. I think is they do their tapings.
Adam Carolla
Oh, OnlyFans does.
Ben Glebe
Oh. Because they have like non adult stuff now. OnlyFans TV or whatever.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. Cause didn't Whitney Cummings do one?
Ben Glebe
Yeah, she did the Bert Kreischer roast and she did a stand up thing for that. Produced a show.
Adam Carolla
How'd that work? I don't.
Ben Glebe
I think it went well. I think it went really well. I think she's helping them establish a name in like non adult things.
Adam Carolla
Hmm.
Ben Glebe
Yeah. I mean, I think she should have just done the adult stuff. It would have been even easier.
Adam Carolla
Whitney. Yeah, sure.
Ben Glebe
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
That's the way to make money.
Ben Glebe
Absolutely.
Adam Carolla
Interesting.
Ben Glebe
All right, so the Only fans.
Adam Carolla
Only Fans tv. Oh, I didn't know they've had that.
Ben Glebe
I mean, I guess there's Whitney right there.
Adam Carolla
I guess everything is just. Eventually spreads out and just becomes mainstream.
Ben Glebe
Pun intended for OnlyFans.
Adam Carolla
Yeah.
Jason May
Gaping even.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. It's like everything starts as something and then just sort of becomes something else.
Ben Glebe
But what they said eBay started as a place to only sell and trade Pez dispensers.
Adam Carolla
Really?
Ben Glebe
Yeah. And now it's just all things.
Adam Carolla
Amazon was the only place you could get a decent Zamboni back in the day. And now they sell everything.
Ben Glebe
Jet Skis in there.
Jason May
You can just do little pornhub was only jacuzzis.
Ben Glebe
That's right. And they made it still is largely.
Adam Carolla
The water world made it easy. All the bad guys just smoked. They were called smokers and they just smoked. Like he was onto something early anyway. All right, Mike sends that vid. Well, I'll show it to you, but keep going.
Jason May
All right. Netflix is walking back its generous paternal leave policy after too many workers take a full year off.
Adam Carolla
Who the fuck decided we had to wait till your kid was in high school before you came home? Like it's a new world order. I had twins. I missed one day of work and then I went back because I had a job and because there's nothing twins.
Ben Glebe
Could take care of each other.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, split it up. First off, there's nothing going on with a newborn. They just need somebody making sure mama doesn't get drunk and roll over on them and suffocate them. There's no bonding after they're born. They're cleaned up. They make everything we have replaced in a world where we basically got rid of religion. We replaced it with a bunch of superficial pussy shit that makes nothing. You have to bond with your kid. You have to. They don't even know. They don't know the fuck you are until they're like four and a half. There's no anything. There's no reason. I. I didn't even raise my kids after they were born. I had a fucking nanny and a night nurse. Some, you know, person that shouldn't have been in this country, raised these fucking kids.
Ben Glebe
That's probably better for the kids.
Adam Carolla
Better for the kids. For sure. I paid. I just paid. I just threw money at the problem. Yeah, I didn't do, you know, maybe two diapers. I fucking worked. I made a bunch of money and I'm not fucking. And also I got a morning radio job. I got to get up at 5, 4, 45 or whatever every morning. No, I'm not going in the room with the monitor going off and doing the diaper to 2:20 in the evening. I don't do. Why the fuck should I do that? I buy that. I bought the fucking house and everything else. Now I'm gonna take more of my money. I'll give it to the night nurse, she'll go and fucking sleep in that room with those kids and take care of them. That said it. I just got back from New York with my kids. They love me and they call me. Well, they called me Yolanda a few times, sure. But that was a little off putting.
Ben Glebe
And they also don't want to watch Field of Dreams with you?
Adam Carolla
No. They don't want to watch American Flyers? No, it's fine. They're fine. They're 18. We have a good time. Sure. They don't remember from when they were zygotes and I wasn't there.
Ben Glebe
Well, of course they don't remember. This is their first memories with you.
Adam Carolla
Yes. How do you do? Yolanda, is it?
Ben Glebe
We're told you are mom or dad?
Adam Carolla
No, my son. My name is Bob Jacuzzi. Good to meet you. How about I freshen up that highball, all right? It's bullshit. And you certainly don't need to fucking. The dads don't need to fucking stay home for two months. The moms, if they're taking care of the kid, fucking stay home. Home and then get the fuck back to work. Pete Buttigieg staying home for like three months. He's appointed Secretary of Transportation. Ten minutes later he's like, I gotta go back to the condo and hang out with my fucking boyfriend who didn't even shit out this fucking kid. We paid a surrogate and I won't be working for three months. What the fuck is that?
Ben Glebe
Yeah, get the fuck back to work husband. I think but it is. It does bring up an existential question. If it's too Fathers should both get paternal leave at the most one you can't get double paternal leave.
Adam Carolla
Which one's that? Which one's the best?
Ben Glebe
You get one dad if there's not a mom there. I'm sorry. Yeah, well there's gotta be some lines in society.
Jason May
Yeah. This whole story like Netflix had a loose guidelines, you know and they say parents generally take four to eight months off for paternal leave. But what happened was it was very vague in the wording of the policy so everybody just took a year off and you know.
Adam Carolla
Well, the other thing that people do is they'll just take full advantage of whatever the system is.
Jason May
That's what I'm saying. It's one of those why don't they.
Ben Glebe
Just make the rule more specific that's on they don't have to roll back the whole pro. They should have done it that you can take as much time off as you need or share your parenting with up to three other people if you give them your passport.
Jason May
The Family and Medical Leave act is applies to companies with at least 50 employees. Requires employees to offer up to 12 weeks of unpaid parental leave in some states. New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts, California, Colorado, Oregon, Rhode island and Washington D.C. are required to offer 12 weeks of paid parental leave.
Adam Carolla
Fucking three months of pay.
Ben Glebe
Yeah, it's probably what the drones are in New Jersey. They're looking to see if people are indeed parenting or if they're just out on a zamboni having a great hot tub all time.
Adam Carolla
Bad stretch.
Mayhem Miller
Let's drink with sins but take you back. Grandma's place always smells like pine. She said get out the chat room and clean mine Stretch filling pine so fresh. The glad girl group coming at you with that throwback jam that was Glad Force Flex Drawstring trash bags featuring Pine Sol original scent and that's better than all good it's all GLAAD.
Adam Carolla
Confined reminded me cause Dawson sent me notes and made up joke about Pete Buttigieg. You can find that waters clip from last night. Maybe have it somewhere. But I made a gay joke about him. But you know what's kind of funny? What's interesting if you do enough shows is the host will react and laugh when the host knows that that was a spontaneous answer and not one that was chambered because they'll tell you, we're going to talk about this and we're going to talk about that, but then every once in a while they'll go somewhere else. And the thing that's kind of interesting anyway, the thing that was funny is the guy who ran the van, they show up in a big sprinter van to your house.
Ben Glebe
Oh, to do the hit from in front of your house. Mobile studio.
Adam Carolla
Mobile studio. They put it background. They put the earbud in the ear things. You can hear the feed.
Ben Glebe
There's no TV monitor, which is insane in these trucks. How do they not have a TV monitor? You can have it on your phone, logged on to Zoom. It's like, I'd much rather do it from my home from Zoom.
Adam Carolla
This is an interesting. This is interesting. I'm glad you brought this up, Ben. This guy, it was funny. This guy pulls up and I'm just cutting it close. I got home at 10 to 5 and my hit was at 5:20. So like cutting it close. And this guy, as I'm pulling in my driveway, I go, I'm just gonna go up. You don't have to change just to put a shirt on, a decent shirt on. He goes, he goes. He goes. He goes, that could be him. The guy goes, all right, see you at 2:20. And I go, no, not 220. He goes, oh yeah, yeah, 420. 4:20. And I go, no, it's 4:50 right, right now. And he goes, oh yeah, 5:20. I go, okay. That took a minute. Then I came back down. I was sitting in the seat and I realized he did something the second time that he didn't. The monitor needs to be. There is a monitor, but it needs the feed of the show so you can hear. You can see the guy talking and not talking. The monitor had me on it, right?
Ben Glebe
That's what they have, right?
Adam Carolla
And I go, the last time I had this guy, he did the monitor with me on the thing. The monitor, not the feed of the show. And it fucked the timing up a little because I couldn't see. And there's a two second delay. And this time it was like four minutes for the show was start before my hit. And I'm sitting there looking at myself and I go, new York, can we change the feed to the feed of the show? Not me. And then all of a sudden it changed like that. He did it from the front. This fucking guy was going to do that fuck up again. It's also weird about people. Like, what job do you have? And Then why would you do this?
Ben Glebe
People put in zero effort onto almost any job.
Adam Carolla
I grew. So when the thing was over, he goes, that Pete Buttigieg joke, that was a good one. You must have been sitting on that one for a while. And I said, no, no, no, there was no discussion. And I said, the reason Jesse laughed real hard is because we didn't have the discussion. And it was a decent, decent joke. I mean, one time, God, I remember one time I did O'Reilly a million years ago. And he goes, hey, Carolla, how's it over there in LA with. He said something like with your cocaine and your movie stars or something. And I said, well, first off, it's fentanyl and prostitutes. And he just laughed because he thought he was gonna fuck. And seeing me getting out of the thing now, it wasn't all that funny, but it was to him because he knew there was no prep to it. That's.
Ben Glebe
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Are you gonna. You remember the Buttigieg joke?
Adam Carolla
It's there. I think we got the clip. You can watch, you can see. I don't know what we're gonna be talking about.
Unknown
We're going through the episode. Give us a moment.
Adam Carolla
Oh, oh, okay. When you point into the thing, sir.
Ben Glebe
Also, when you're in this mobile truck, even when they do have the video feed of the show, it's better, but it's still a mind fuck because you're trying to be in the moment talking to somebody, but you're watching them on a two second delay. So it's like you're experiencing instant nostalgia of life that just happened and trying to time based on the past.
Adam Carolla
That'd be a good John Lennon song.
Ben Glebe
Thank you.
Adam Carolla
Instant nostalgia.
Ben Glebe
Well, I think. Yeah, but I think that line. I might have a little bit been inspired there by Demetri Martin's old joke. He goes, I love, love smartphones because you get to experience nostalgia right away.
Adam Carolla
I like that Demetrius. Funny.
Ben Glebe
Yeah, he's funny. He's a good man.
Adam Carolla
What are we doing with Oprah and Tyler Perry?
Ben Glebe
I was just invited to the $2,500 seats. My buddy just had four seats and invited me to this gala. And I thought I was gonna be like Hobnobbin with Ted Sarandos and Meghan Markle and Oprah and Tyler Perry. And they had security around all four of them.
Adam Carolla
Oh, really?
Ben Glebe
Even with $2,500 tickets, you couldn't get near these people.
Adam Carolla
Really?
Ben Glebe
I was shocked. I did talk to Kerry Washington for a minute. She had no security, but everybody else, I Just couldn't. And I wasn't even trying to talk to Meghan Markle. I just wanted to go up to Ted Sarandos and say, my next special, I'm going to be pitching it to you guys soon. Please keep an eye out for it. And I couldn't. I couldn't. I was in an argument with the lady, the security lady. I walked up there, she's like, please. They said, nobody goes around here. And a friend, I just smiled at her. And a friend of mine got a photo of me smiling at the security lady with Meghan Markle in the background. And I posted it and just put my caption over the lady's badge. So you couldn't quite tell she was a security lady. And just looked like I was hobnobbing very close to Meghan Markle. In fact, I was almost being arrested.
Adam Carolla
Wow.
Ben Glebe
But I really hid that for social media.
Adam Carolla
They don't cordon it off or anything. They just have security guys kind of hanging around, boxing you out.
Ben Glebe
Yeah. And they probably wouldn't have maybe even had them everywhere. Like they were at their table. They were fine. There was no security there probably, but they just stayed in this one area by the front of the red carpet where there was security. And they just talked there the whole time. But my table was in direct eye line of Meghan Markle. And there was one moment where I looked over like two tables back and she looked at me and kind of went one of these. She was like a little bit of a shy. Look away.
Adam Carolla
Come hither.
Ben Glebe
Yeah, a little bit of a come hither. Or it could have been like, who is that? Why is he looking at me? Tell him to stop looking at me. One of those two for sure.
Adam Carolla
I sometimes will get the Go hither. Go over there and fucking hither.
Ben Glebe
Yeah, go away hither.
Adam Carolla
Leave your fucking hither, puss and walk it outside of this building, please.
Ben Glebe
Yep.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. Stop hithering around here.
Ben Glebe
But instead, I just didn't talk to any of them. And then the girl that was assigned to be my date by my friend that invited us stole my vape at the end of the night and then walked away with my vape. So it was. It was disappointing night compared to what it could have been.
Adam Carolla
I think we have the clip here.
Ben Glebe
Thank God.
Adam Carolla
As far as I can tell, I don't think they're going to have any success with the old playbook. I think they're going to have to find some Fetterman style guy, you know, some guy or some girl that it's at Least authentic. Like, you may agree, you may disagree, but that's exactly who they are. You're probably right. That rules out Mayor Pete Buttigieg. Who? I don't know. If I was on a flight and he started handing me bags of planters, I don't know if I'm down with that. Well, if Buttigieg comes up behind me and offers me nuts, I am going to be scared for a moment. All right, I'm kicking you off this flight. Carolla, that's enough. You're gonna have to listen to his podcast from here. Yeah, he wouldn't have laughed that hard if he knew it was chamber already.
Ben Glebe
Also, nobody in the world knows, looking at that beautiful city backdrop behind you, that you're in a guy's van.
Adam Carolla
I'm in a guy's van, he's offering.
Ben Glebe
Candy, and they think you're in a beautiful LA TV studio.
Adam Carolla
He later took me to Mexico. We had a Amber Alert type situation. It was zip ties and duct tape and Tijuana was bust and I was abducted. Yeah.
Ben Glebe
Best day of your life.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. But I got him to put ESPN on the monitor finally. So I had some.
Ben Glebe
Yeah, he shoots, he scores.
Adam Carolla
You sit in a van, they have a. You sit on a little bolted down stool.
Ben Glebe
Uncomfortable.
Adam Carolla
Yep. And they hook you up. They always ask you what year you want the monitor in. You know, the feedback thing. I'm always like, I don't know, whatever you like. And then they put the mic on you. Yeah.
Ben Glebe
And then I'm always also astounded when it's television. And they don't make any effort to adjust. They want you to come early for sound check and video check. And they're always like, can you say a word?
Adam Carolla
Hello?
Ben Glebe
Yeah, we're good. Thank you. Like, they don't adjust. Can you look this way? You're shiny. Talk louder. They don't care.
Adam Carolla
They don't care. And every once in a while, they get you to do even more work where they have you hold up the white balance card. Where you go, can you hold up the white balance? You hold this thing like you're like an inmate in a penitentiary. You know, you just hold this thing up and they go like. They dial in the white whatever, and.
Ben Glebe
There'S Photoshop numbers on there.
Adam Carolla
That's right. And they get rid of the badge. All right, one more. Mayhem.
Jason May
All right, well, go with this. Luigi Mangione's grandmother left his family members millions, so long as they didn't commit crimes.
Adam Carolla
Wow. All you had to do is not shoot a CEO in the back in Manhattan, you could have just lived in Maui for the rest of your life.
Ben Glebe
Yeah, really good lives.
Adam Carolla
God.
Jason May
Yeah, yeah.
Adam Carolla
It's my protagonist, he was a rich guy who wasn't even insured by that company. Right?
Jason May
Yeah, that's apparently the situation. I think he just got kind of indoctrinated by a lot of books that he read and very angry at the system as a total and decided to make himself the vigilante that, you know, showcased the.
Ben Glebe
I mean, health. The healthcare system is super broken. Doesn't mean you should murder people. But it is. But they don't have in all the coverage. They're like, it's completely. They took a lot. He took a life. But these health care companies are taking like thousands and thousands of lives and nobody cares.
Jason May
It's easy to see both sides of it if you, if you look into it because yeah, this healthcare executive was, you know, responsible for a lot of people getting denied care. And, you know, this guy fashions himself a Robin Hood type figure to take from the rich.
Adam Carolla
He's a fucking nut. You should kill yourself. When you plan assassinations, make you your first target. That's what I would like to put on one of those electronic freeway signs. If you are going click it or tick it, you're going to do. Yeah. If you're doing a murder suicide. Suicide. Let's start with suicide and maybe we'll get around to the murder.
Ben Glebe
Make it suicide murder. You really cut down the murder rate.
Adam Carolla
I think they should call it suicide murder to stop right now. They go, murder suicide and we got a dead wife over here.
Ben Glebe
People are stupid. They'd probably fall for the order switch.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, they go, oh, what is it?
Ben Glebe
Switcheroo. It's classic.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, it'd be like rabbit season, duck season with Bugs Bunny and Daffy. Was that.
Jason May
Damn.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. They. You just switching them, you go, you're not planning on doing a suicide murder.
Ben Glebe
Mind if I see that gun there, boss?
Adam Carolla
Yeah, yeah. What did you say? It's murder, suicide, murder. Oh yeah, okay.
Ben Glebe
That's a good idea.
Adam Carolla
So kill myself then I'm going to kill my wife when she gets back from work. Yeah, yeah, Yep. Yeah. It's called.
Ben Glebe
That's a good or good plan switch.
Adam Carolla
I like the script.
Ben Glebe
The old switcheroo. I like that. Also with the freeway electronic signs, you know, even in this modern day of all sorts of substances, they still say don't drink and drive on those signs. It feels like it's implicit permission to drive high.
Adam Carolla
Yes.
Ben Glebe
They don't even want to mention it.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. I have seen some PSAs where there's, like, an actor explaining not to drive high. I've seen a couple.
Ben Glebe
I like that the message really sunk in deep for you, though.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, Well, I was pretty basic when I saw it. And I was trying to operate that big rig and I was watching my phone so I didn't see the whole thing. There's a don't drive high PSA that is done by an actor where they think it's real cute, where the guy's acting for the first five seconds and then he breaks down the fourth wall and starts walking toward the camera going, I'm an actor. Which I always go, oh, you're such a fucking hero, admitting you're an actor. And he's. He's real serious about. But the thing that's kind of funny about it is they don't say, don't smoke pot. They just go, don't smoke pot and drive. They're not trying to convince you. Long are the days we're trying to convince people not to smoke pot at all. It's like, you're smoking pot. Just don't operate a dirigible.
Ben Glebe
Right. Listen, I'm an actor. We're all doing meth. When you do meth, what we wanna make sure you don't do is also fly an airplane.
Adam Carolla
Yeah.
Ben Glebe
That's all we ask.
Adam Carolla
I don't know what it would be called. Anti pot.
Ben Glebe
What would it be called?
Adam Carolla
This PSA I saw. I've seen it on TV quite a few times. That guy who's an actor telling you not to say it.
Ben Glebe
I remember. Yeah.
Adam Carolla
And saying, he's an actor.
Ben Glebe
Listen, I'm an actor.
Adam Carolla
A far cry from this is your brain on drugs? You know what I mean? Because now.
Ben Glebe
But also, that didn't work because everybody loves eggs.
Adam Carolla
That's right.
Ben Glebe
That's true. Everybody loves eggs. Who doesn't want to be eggs? I'd love to be eggs.
Adam Carolla
Where is eggs?
Ben Glebe
I love eggs so much. The whole election is based on egg prices.
Adam Carolla
I'm an actor in an ad. I was given 12 seconds to remind you that if you're high, just don't drive. Cause if you feel different, you drive different. It's illegal to drive high everywhere. Anyway, this commercial got an Emmy for best.
Ben Glebe
What a premise.
Adam Carolla
Best Dolly work.
Jason May
Well, I thought it was best band.
Adam Carolla
Bunny, but that's some Dolly work they had to pull. Some guy was pulling that camera, rolling.
Ben Glebe
It was beautifully shot. But the premise of this ad, they thought, we have 15 seconds. Instead of just telling people not to drive high. We're gonna have an unknown actor.
Jason May
Yeah, yeah.
Ben Glebe
Acting as though he's out of the park, standing in a party. And people are gonna be much more effective at this guy. An out of work actor doesn't think I should drive high.
Adam Carolla
Also, if you are high and you're watching that, then you assume later on when you turn it on, Friends or any other show, that someone, Jennifer Anson, is going to break down the fourth wall and start talking to you through the totally unrealistic and unfair expectation of a fourth wall broken down. Let's watch it one more time.
Ben Glebe
It's fascinating.
Jason May
All 12 seconds.
Adam Carolla
I also like the guys who got the. I don't know, they had to Taft Hartley them or something, but they got the non speaking role in this. This 15 second. Yeah. Smoking at a party, drinking at a party. I was given 12 seconds to remind you that if you're high, just don't drive, because if you feel different, you drive different. It's illegal to drive high everywhere anyway.
Jason May
Oh, thanks, bud.
Ben Glebe
He gives the extra reason at the end. You shouldn't do it. And also, it's illegal. But also, as far as an actor, he has just 15 seconds of acting in this commercial because I hate to break this to you, but even after he breaks down the fourth wall, he's still acting. He's still an actor in this commercial. He doesn't become a real.
Adam Carolla
What do you think about the choice?
Ben Glebe
He doesn't look at his watch. He has one physical thing to do in the commercial, and he goes, I'm giving 12 seconds. And never breaks eye contact with the camera. He fakes the watch. Look, this guy has no future.
Jason May
And all this was inside the sprinter van?
Ben Glebe
That's correct.
Adam Carolla
What do you think of the choices from a directorial standpoint, of the extras looking at him when he walked away?
Jason May
No, no, they didn't break character. They were all.
Adam Carolla
No, they were looking. They were looking.
Jason May
They were looking at him like, why is he breaking character?
Adam Carolla
Why is he walking into the entry hall and talking to someone who's not here?
Jason May
They're hiding.
Adam Carolla
No, they didn't. They broke. They stopped.
Ben Glebe
I want to see it again.
Jason May
Yeah, I do. I want to run it back.
Ben Glebe
I like, watch the watch, too.
Adam Carolla
Make sure you look at seconds.
Ben Glebe
Oh, he kind of glances, but doesn't really process.
Jason May
The guy with the beer.
Adam Carolla
Now they're all looking. Drive different. It's illegal to drive high everywhere anyway.
Jason May
Do we get back to the theme?
Adam Carolla
They stopped acting. Mayhem and we're looking at him. I. That's a choice. I would have kept them in that party.
Jason May
Yeah, me too.
Ben Glebe
Yeah, me too.
Adam Carolla
And then. And then had, like, a date rape situation. Go on. On the sofa.
Ben Glebe
You want a double ad?
Adam Carolla
A double psa.
Ben Glebe
Double PSA party back there. There's people that are able to consent fully.
Adam Carolla
There's also a grip that has to get cued to, like, walk. And we see their back. They must have cued that guy.
Ben Glebe
And also support the unions. They could have thrown a couple more causes into this ad. Yeah, striking IATSI members.
Adam Carolla
Exactly. All right, let's take a break.
Ben Glebe
Plus, the apple watch is now available on sale. Tells you how many seconds you got. We've got 12 to tell people not to drive drunk anyway.
Adam Carolla

So definitely not sauerkraut on the pizza. Last time I was here I mentioned to you something. You seemed open to trying. I almost. If I had more time, I would have stopped and got you one cheese pizza with banana slices. I don't do it a lot, but it's enjoyable.
Adam Carolla
Okay.
Ben Glebe
And you seemed against it. Maybe.
Jason May
You know what, I'm totally against it. But I'm willing to try.
Ben Glebe
I appreciate your open mindedness on my hot dog. There's just two different versions. You gotta go. You either go the traditional. I like mustard, ketchup, relish and onions. You need the onions to get rid of it. The relish is too strong.
Adam Carolla
Otherwise gotta have the onions.
Ben Glebe
Or I just go mustard and sauerkraut.
Adam Carolla
Oh, those are all good. I'll probably back the ketchup out, but I'm not a big pro. I don't have a big problem with ketchup if we have relish, if we go, everything if we just go works. Full works. That's fine.
Ben Glebe
I don't mind. Maybe a jalapeno on the sauerkraut one too. Couple jalapenos.
Adam Carolla
All right, so I don't know if you guys caught it, but the Duke lacrosse accuser, girl, you have it in your store there.
Ben Glebe
It was proven untrue in the end.
Adam Carolla
Of the thing, right? They knew it was untrue at the time. That guy, Mike Nifung, the DA ended up.
Jason May
Yeah, the DA was trying to get reelected, I guess, and that's how this all happened. Crystal Magnum, a former exotic dancer, was hired to perform at the party hosted by Duke lacrosse players and accused three of them of rape nearly 20 years ago.
Adam Carolla
Now you gotta understand, the DA knows these guys aren't guilty and are going to completely destroy their 19 year old lives and put them in prison for decades. Cuz he's trying to get reelected. Which is scary that these people in these kinds of numbers exist out there. Like it's crazy how many of those people are in position of authority, but really she's apologizing or whatever.
Jason May
Well, actually she's been. Yeah, she's been found guilty.
Adam Carolla
Oh, she murdered somebody.
Jason May
Second degree murder for fatally stabbing her boyfriend in 2011. I mean, yeah, 2011. And then she admitted on a podcast last week, I guess from jail, that she was not raped.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, but the real culprits Here are all the race hustling news outlets that grabbed this story and just fucking ran with it and blew it up and turned it into another fucking race hoax.
Ben Glebe
Was it a race issue?
Adam Carolla
Yeah.
Jason May
Three white guys, black, straight.
Ben Glebe
Oh yeah.
Adam Carolla
All the fucking bitches on TV that just hustled this thing into another race story. Those are the real culprits here, the race hustlers.
Jason May
But it's also the DA because DA's do this, this is the thing when they have a high profile case they latch onto it super hard even if it's very weak case like this one was obviously and try to get reelected off of this because it's going to put your name up into the spotlight. So the charges were dropped afterwards and they did ruin these guys life.
Adam Carolla
But like how about some fucking due process? Like the coach got fired, everyone had to quit. The athletic director like quit the the and there's right at the beginning all the wokeism shit. The, you know, the chancellor from the school had to like apologize. The black community at the school was saying we don't feel safe. And like all this shit they just hustled. They all they did was create more illusions of a racist society once again. And that part there's no apology and it'll never go away. That's just everyone being agitated thinking that we live in a society that we don't live in or Jussie Smollett or whoever, whatever. The fucking hustle. There's more race hoaxes now than there are actual racism events in this country. It's fucking nuts. And it's the news outlets fault because they could. You're journalists and you're a news outlet. You could look into things.
Ben Glebe
Yeah, because I mean this Duke rape one was. The accusation was clearly false back in the day because I remember the news didn't look into it. But I was touring. I was co headlining a tour with Bert Kreischer back in the day and he with me and Eddie Ift and Bert Kreischer. And Bert was so certain I wasn't really following the case and they were certain it was a false accusation. On stage with all of our shirts off that Bert insisted on. He got a broom and had us mark out on stage the size of the bathroom and then prove that you couldn't do what was accused of it. And I mean as a stand up bit questionable but he made the point.
Adam Carolla
Right.
Ben Glebe
Very well. But yet the news couldn't figure it out. He needed Bert Kreischer to figure it out.
Adam Carolla
Right.
Jason May
Ha ha, funny.
Ben Glebe
I mean, it was interesting, but it wasn't like his clothes. It wasn't a great clip closer.
Adam Carolla
No, but the news doesn't want to figure it out. That's the whole point. They want to throw fuel on the fire.
Ben Glebe
Right. And also, who am I to judge Bert Kreischer's closers? He has done pretty good in stand up, I'd say.
Adam Carolla
Oh yeah, he can afford as many brooms as he wants now. He could four brooms.
Ben Glebe
He could replace air leaf blowers with just actual brooms, which is what they should all do.
Adam Carolla
Agreed.
Jason May
Interesting side note on those guys. It doesn't say it in this story. And they, the guy, the Duke lacrosse players reached an undisclosed settlement after the charges were dropped. So the city of Durham paid these guys like somewhere I read, millions of dollars because of this thing. So it may have ruined their life in the short term, but gate made them very rich in the long term.
Ben Glebe
I would want the amount to be disclosed after your life gets ruined to that degree. I would want people to know. But at least Now I got $100 million.
Jason May
Right?
Adam Carolla
I did a bit right in the middle of all this stuff on Kimmel's show where I was doing like a movie trailer and I played an army high ranking office. And I remember saying to Jimmy, he didn't know. I go, oh, my character, I play Colonel Duke Lacrosse. And the whole audience started booing. And the audience was like, what the fuck did he just say? Right in the middle of this rape thing? I was like, colonel Duke Lacrosse. Like, that's a great, good name.
Jason May
That's a good fuck.
Adam Carolla
Colonel. You wouldn't fuck with Colonel Duke Lacrosse. Like he plays by his own rules. And the audience was like, oh, no. It was like four days after this thing blew up.
Ben Glebe
That was when Kimmel officially stopped having co hosts for the week.
Adam Carolla
That's right. But I stand by the name as a killer name. Great name for a movie trailer. If you play Colonel Duke Lacrosse, you know what Colonel Duke lacrosse had to do? He had to go into hell. He had to volunteer to go to hell. Okay. There was a mad person who was terrorizing the world. Basically the second coming of Hitler. Some monks had found a porthole to hell that opened and closed like once every 500 years or something. Colonel Duke Lacrosse volunteered to go to hell to find Hitler and have him tell me how to stop this guy. And I think it was called the Hell and Back or something.
Ben Glebe
This was a sketch on Jimmy Kimmel Live.
Adam Carolla
Yeah.
Ben Glebe
Interesting.
Adam Carolla
And it was a weird scene because I did the Whole sketch. And my character was naked the entire time. And oh, my God, I'd come back to the couch, the sofa, and Jimmy's like, why were you naked? I was like, well, in hell, when you go through the porthole hole to hell, you can't have any physical belongings and materials or anything.
Ben Glebe
And he was like, an mri.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. He's like, but Hitler was dressed like Hitler. And I was like, oh, yeah. I didn't really think about that. It's the only nude guy in hell.
Ben Glebe
You can get redressed once you go.
Adam Carolla
You can go to. Yeah, you can go to Taylor.
Ben Glebe
They have a Marshalls down there.
Jason May
Yeah, most Taylors are gay. They're down there.
Adam Carolla
They probably have a big and tall place in hell. Yeah, you know, Good one. Yeah, that's right.
Ben Glebe
Absolutely.
Adam Carolla
Yeah.
Ben Glebe
Even all they have is a big and tall place. Yeah, it sucks for the little guys.
Adam Carolla
I wonder. It must be. It must be depressing giving directions in hell. Like, you go, where's the big and tall place? You know, the eternally burning lake? It's right there.
Ben Glebe
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
Like, if you get to the lake, you're there. You're at the big and tall place.
Jason May
Is Hitler in an oversized suit. Point.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, Hitler.
Ben Glebe
But he looks like the cute boy at the end of big than the oversized suit when he goes back to being small.
Adam Carolla
That's right.
Ben Glebe
Which really is like the most adorable form of Hitler. Now that there should be an adorable form. If you had to choose, I'd be less afraid of like, baby Hitler did.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, I don't know. I don't know if that thing exists online.
Ben Glebe
You know, baby Hitler, if he had two wishes in the Zoltar machine, what that second wish would be. You can't give him that second wish.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. What do you think's going on? You know, all things Middle East. What's going on with your brethren over there, what's happening?
Ben Glebe
I mean, it's, you know, it's very new complications every day now with Syria falling. Assad's gone. Israel's taken a mountaintop that has a purge into Israel to protect itself from, you know, further terrorist attacks. And now they can get intelligence into Syria.
Adam Carolla
Countries should have have to do that, Ben.
Ben Glebe
I know, I know.
Adam Carolla
You should not have to do that.
Ben Glebe
We should just make it into a free zone where you can just lob stuff over. Yeah, you're right. You're right. I take it back.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, I shouldn't have to do that.
Ben Glebe
I take that all back.
Adam Carolla
Yeah.
Ben Glebe
But also, you know, no advancements in the hostage negotiations and in A ceasefire. You know, it's not anywhere close to an actual ceasefire when literally Kirby at the State Department says, look, we're closer now than we have been since the first deal. Nothing's on the table. And we don't. I don't think one is about to happen, but we're close. There's the chance Hamas now has considered thinking about maybe talking about considering a deal. So we're there.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, I would assume. There's nothing Kirby says and nothing that Biden. There's nothing that comes out of the White House where I would remotely think for a second that that's what was happening. It could be drones. It could be peace. It could be a peace deal with Hamas and Israel. It could be. I would assume every single thing they're saying is a lie about all the time.
Ben Glebe
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
Which is a weird. It's a weird way to go through life as a citizen.
Ben Glebe
I think that's true probably for a lot of the administration. I think for Biden himself, maybe it's closer to the truth because he doesn't have the ability to, like, I don't think at the current time, like, maintain multiple narratives.
Adam Carolla
Yeah.
Ben Glebe
I think he's just kind of saying, like, also, why does Biden think he's a stand up comedian or something? Like, he talks about very serious things and he keeps thinking we're joking. He's always like, listen, the crime rate's up. People are. People are dying. I'm not joking around. I'm not kidding around.
Adam Carolla
Hold on. I'm not done slapping my d. My knee.
Ben Glebe
Women's rights are being taken away. It's not a joke.
Adam Carolla
No joke.
Ben Glebe
No joke, folks. What if. Thank you for clarifying that.
Adam Carolla
Two days after he. What if he. He left office and two days later we found like, video of him right now riding a unicycle and juggling. Would our minds all just be blown like Kaiser Sosa? Yeah, it'd be a full, non limp Kaiser Sosa move. That would be my number.
Ben Glebe
That would be mine. Kaiser Soze.
Adam Carolla
But yes, it would be Soze. That's right.
Ben Glebe
You're confused him with.
Mayhem Miller
With Sam Tequila's place always smells like pine. She said, get out the chat room and clean my Glad stretch.
Ben Glebe
So fresh.
Mayhem Miller
The Glad girl group coming at you with that throwback jam. That was Glad Force Flex Drawstring Trash bags featuring Pine Sol original scent. And that's better than all good. It's all Glad.
Adam Carolla
Sammy Sosa.
Ben Glebe
This whole time I've been Sammy Sosa.
Adam Carolla
Did he go the weird Michael Jackson.
Jason May
Route like Bleached skin. I think he did, yeah. Or am I mistaken? Another baseball player?
Ben Glebe
Baseball legends are turning white. It's no joke.
Adam Carolla
Joe, Did. Did Sammy Soza go full. I mean, he just went.
Jason May
Yeah, I told you.
Adam Carolla
He just.
Jason May
He's like Mambo number five over there.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. He turned into Lou Bega.
Jason May
He did, huh?
Adam Carolla
Lou's begging his doctor for some whitening cream. What the. What the.
Ben Glebe
I've got. I've got monograms on my mind, folks. Not joking around.
Adam Carolla
Why would you not want to look like old Sammy Sosa? Like I'd be like, fucking Sammy Sosa. I'm getting into every bar free. I'm never going to pay for hot wings as long as I live. I'll be the mayor of Chicago. I'll be the de facto mayor of Chicago for the rest of my fucking life. Instead of coming up to the bar and go, all right, homo, take your white ass out of here.
Ben Glebe
He looks horrible.
Adam Carolla
We're waiting for. Sammy shows up.
Ben Glebe
He looks horrendous. They're like. He walks in now, they're like, Dr. Crohn's, your table's not ready.
Adam Carolla
I feel this is, what, you know, like Magic Johnson's trans son. I feel like when society doesn't know what to do with someone, we just kind of go, we're done. We don't want to see. We don't want to hear from you. Like, this guy is one of the biggest names in baseball, and I've never seen him pop up on anything.
Ben Glebe
Maybe he wants to try to get back into the league and set records as a white player.
Adam Carolla
He wants to do it both ways. You're right.
Ben Glebe
Even instead of both leagues, he wants to go both races.
Adam Carolla
Two finger to the heart, then up to heaven thing. I don't know if that works in Dome Stadium. That's a strong point. I thought about that. Does the finger point work and dome.
Ben Glebe
You'Re just pointing to the air conditioning system.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. There's a bar joist in the rafter up there.
Ben Glebe
Thank God it's not hot in here, right?
Adam Carolla
This is crazy, right?
Ben Glebe
Unbelievable. I mean, I can't think who he looks like. He looks like something, but it's really weird. Look, he looks like that guy that's like Scarface's best friend in Scarface with the bad skin. You know that guy?
Jason May
Yep. Burns him.
Ben Glebe
Yep. Looks like that dude a little bit.
Adam Carolla
Something's amiss.
Ben Glebe
It's really odd.
Jason May
Uncanny Valley. It is. It is Sammy Sosa, but it's not.
Ben Glebe
I mean, I almost don't Understand what's happening.
Jason May
I think that's chicks.
Ben Glebe
Looks like a Dracula kind of.
Jason May
Yeah, exactly. Definitely.
Adam Carolla
Like married with kids and stuff.
Jason May
It would be weird to like be born to a black man and then your dad's white by the time you're six.
Adam Carolla
Oh, that's right. Because he's got a little. Little. Hopefully he knocked up a blonde chick.
Ben Glebe
What on earth. Now they're cowboys.
Jason May
They definitely.
Adam Carolla
You know what is cool? He looks so unlike Sammy Sosa.
Jason May
Yeah. That you don't.
Adam Carolla
That he could get the truth from anybody about Sammy Sosa. You know, like, I can't go up.
Ben Glebe
Excuse me. What do you think about Sammy Sosa? I randomly asked.
Adam Carolla
Fucking roided freak. I rooted for Maguire the whole fucking time, dude.
Ben Glebe
Okay. Guess what?
Adam Carolla
Yeah.
Ben Glebe
I am Sammy Sosa.
Adam Carolla
Okay? Get the fuck out of here, man.
Ben Glebe
You don't believe. You think I'm a mom.
Adam Carolla
Take your white ass.
Ben Glebe
Okay. Let's get on the horses and get out of here.
Adam Carolla
Just because you fucking wear a cowboy hat, baby. That guy was juicing. He should have never got out of aaa. You hear what I'm saying? And I'm from Chicago.
Ben Glebe
The only juicing I was doing was a cut off a martini. It looked like a orange juice. You mean a orange juice.
Adam Carolla
Listen, I don't know where you white ladies get this thick accent all the time, but that guy was. He was a. He was a black guy.
Ben Glebe
I would like to speak to your manager.
Adam Carolla
Black guy. That black guy was a black eye on baseball with his fucking roids.
Ben Glebe
Okay, I am Swiss on this because I am not him. But how dare you talk this way about formerly dark skinned Sammy Sosa.
Adam Carolla
I can't go up to people and go, what do you think of Adam Carolla? They go, either you could.
Ben Glebe
In blackface.
Adam Carolla
Who the fuck is Adam Carolla? You're Adam Corolla.
Ben Glebe
Easy solution for that. Go Soul man style. Take those tanning pills.
Jason May
Yeah.
Ben Glebe
From that movie. Soul Man.
Jason May
Yes.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. What. What's up with Sam Sosa?
Ben Glebe
Yep. Hard to know. His wife looks more like he used to.
Adam Carolla
Look, do you think people come up the Sosas. Excuse me, are you Sammy?
Ben Glebe
Which one of you is Sammy Sosa? I have a package for Mr. Sosa.
Adam Carolla
Also, this guy's trying to make reservations in Chicago and it's like, Sammy Sosa, table of two and. Well, we're fully booked tonight, but we can get Sammy Sosa. Then he comes in with his wife. Okay. Get the fuck out of here. He had to be turned away.
Ben Glebe
Yeah. This reminds me of a moment in my life When I was at Mel's Diner in Hollywood and I did not know this fact about Jose Canseco. And I see Jose Canseco come out of the restroom and walk to a table and sit down with another Jose Canseco.
Adam Carolla
What?
Ben Glebe
Yeah. Apparently Jose Canseco has an identical twin brother.
Mayhem Miller
What?
Ben Glebe
And I didn't being unaware of this fact that I'm drunk at a bar. Ozzy Canseco and I almost. I lost my mind. My mind almost imploded. Do you understand? 2 Jose Cansecos, what that would do to a young boy's mind?
Adam Carolla
You felt like you're hit on top of that with a baseball and then it's bounced over the wall to be a home run.
Ben Glebe
100%. Yeah, that's exactly right.
Adam Carolla
All right, we got Duke lacrosse from like, I don't know, 15 years ago or something. I'm not going to play the whole thing, but I. Let's see. See, Maybe I'll play the part where I say duke lacrosse. Hey.
Jason May
Any.
Adam Carolla
Fighting Hitler Nude. I need answers.
Ben Glebe
I got nothing.
Adam Carolla
Name. Oh my God. For my Final solution. Who? Now watch. Can I ask you one question? Why are you naked? Well, you can't bring any physical material objects into. But why does Hitler have his whole uniform on then? He was grandfather.
Ben Glebe
Oh, he was.
Unknown
A long time ago.
Adam Carolla
Different rules. It looks like something else to see.
Ben Glebe
Yeah, I look forward to.
Adam Carolla
When is that coming out? Well, we got more to see. What do you mean? I, I, I go back to hell. Yeah. Look what I do to Osama.
Ben Glebe
Oh, my God.
Adam Carolla
Oh, my God. Very homoerotic. Thanks, grandpa. Nunchucks. All right, you get it. At some point we'll. We'll find me Duke lacrosse. We'll find some for.

Adam Carolla

Ben Glebe
The top or now, did you discuss instead of the punchline before you snap Hitler's neck Instead of this is my final solution. Did was it pitched to you? Say hello to my little friend. You didn't want people to think you had a small penis.
