Adam Carolla
Why have I asked my H Vac guy I found on angie.com to change my grandpa's trachea tube? I was so amazed at how he replaced our air ducts, I knew I could trust him to change Pop Pop's tube.
Brian Bishop
I think we should call a Dr. Angie, the one you trust to find the ones you trust. Find pros for all your home projects@angie.com.

Tortorich, Gina Grad, and Brian Bishop from 2016. Hope you guys enjoy. Gina Grad. Good day.
Paul Scheer
Good day to you.
Brian Bishop
And bald Brian. That's right.
Chris Tyson
Here's some stories.
Adam Carolla
How did you fly through customs that fast?
Brian Bishop
Oh, Vinny Tortorich is here. Good to see you, Vinny. I've been thinking about this a little bit and Chris, I think I sound a little weird, but not horribly weird. But Dawson's still. His flight probably just landed. I got a million stories to tell. Airbnb complaints, all sorts of stuff. Brian was in Kauai.
Vinny Tortorich
Kauai.
Brian Bishop
Kauai. It's my push pull argument. Do we need a Hawaii and a Kauai and how much confusion? There's a Molokai and a Molokini. Yeah. All right.
Chris Tyson
There's only 13 letters in the Hawaiian Alphabet. They got to stretch them pretty thin.
Brian Bishop
We got all that. Paul Scheer's out there.
Chris Tyson
Gina was in Cabo.
Brian Bishop
Yeah, Gina was in Cabo. And I just feel like we should just get to that next time we meet in studios. Everyone have all their stories lined up?
Chris Tyson
I got stories chambered.
Brian Bishop
All their stories chambered because I got a million of them too, but I don't want to give it short shrift. Vinnie is here, Vinny's got a book, and it's Fitness Confidential. I listen to the audio version of it. And it. It'll change your life. Gina grad is down 20, 25.
Adam Carolla
It's hard.
Brian Bishop
Vacation's hard.
Adam Carolla
Well, actually, it was pretty easy vacation. It was just fajitas and vegetables and stuff, but I'm still toggling right around 20. But I'm happy with that.
Brian Bishop
Good. You should be.
Adam Carolla
Thank you.
Brian Bishop
We'll play FIT or BS with Vinny in a couple of few. Vinny's also doing a show, Ice House, that's coming up July 14th. I hear the sales are brisk.
Vinny Tortorich
That's what I'm hearing, too. I was told that by Mike. He says, hey, your first time out, you know, if you get 30 seats filled. And we went right past 30 to 40, and I don't know where it is now because Mike has been out of town with you, but yeah, yeah, People keep tweeting that they're coming, and I'm excited about it and I'm looking forward to it. And I think you realize I'm not a comedian.
Chris Tyson
Vinny, you're trying to sell tickets. Come on.
Vinny Tortorich
But I'm not a comedian.
Brian Bishop
Pat is going to be playing. There's. Well, right?
Vinny Tortorich
Yeah, yeah.
Brian Bishop
I'm gonna be opening up.
Chris Tyson
Oh, who's got a couple of refunds?
Brian Bishop
All right, a couple of phone calls, and we'll play a little game with Vinny. And like I said, I have so much to talk to you guys about, and everyone does, so we'll just save it for the next show. Let's see. Tom, 30, Florida Ace, man.
Paul Scheer
Welcome back.
Brian Bishop
What's going on?
Caller Jonathan
Not much since you've been away. I just noticed.
Brian Bishop
I don't know if you saw the
Caller Jonathan
story of talked about what they found in Michael Jackson's computer, all the different weird pornography. I feel like it came out for a day and then everyone stopped talking about how crazy that is.
Brian Bishop
And I don't know if you have
Caller Jonathan
an opinion on that.
Brian Bishop
Well, you know what? What? What Snoop Dogg is to weed. Michael Jackson is too crazy. Like it. Nobody ever goes, oh, wow, boy, you should see how high my eyebrows raised right now that I found that fetish porn. Like, there is. There's nothing. Weirdest thing. There's nothing on the. It's actually kind of a shrewd move, which is, like, early on in your career, you try to buy the Elephant man's bones.
Vinny Tortorich
Right?
Brian Bishop
And then you sleep in a hyperbaric chamber.
Adam Carolla
You take a chimpanzee to the Grammys.
Vinny Tortorich
Right?
Chris Tyson
Right.
Brian Bishop
And then Mcculloch, Culkin. The next thing you know, whatever goes on after that just falls under weird. Right? It doesn't fall under macabre or sexual or deviant or criminal. Just. It's now all just part of your weirdness.
Chris Tyson
Bill Simmons calls that the Tyson zone. You get in the Tyson zone, you can do whatever you want. You know, tigers and whatever.
Brian Bishop
So the. So I. But it's funny. I was listening. Do we have man in the Mirror? I was complaining about that in London.
Adam Carolla
Find it.
Brian Bishop
We were driving out of London and we're passing like Buckingham Palace.
Chris Tyson
That's not even a tool to him.
Brian Bishop
And this song came on the van that was driving us. And I was thinking about Mike, and I thought, he probably should have took a longer look in the mirror when he was writing this song. But also, listen. How many of his short little dats and ooze are in the beginning? Yeah. You would not have this if I was the engineer, because I'd be like,
Chris Tyson
we gotta cut that out.
Brian Bishop
It goes a long way.
Chris Tyson
Where were you? Quincy?
Brian Bishop
Yeah, the hiccups turned up the color. My favorite Winter court. This wind is a blow in my mind I see the. All right, so he should have looked in his own mirror, but wasn't. They find in there?
Adam Carolla
Are there no Shimon's?
Chris Tyson
There might be,
Adam Carolla
from what I understand. And Tom, maybe you know better. Some pretty violent. Some pretty violent child pornography Images and bestiality. Correct, Tom? Yes.
Vinny Tortorich
Was he involved in it or just.
Adam Carolla
I think he was a collector, an appreciator. That's a horrible way to put it.
Vinny Tortorich
Yeah.
Brian Bishop
Yeah. I think you're doing something horrible. Here's what. Although. Can we just start? You know, it was funny. I was talking to Mike August about just a little glimpse, like this whole thing where we have these adages like, you really gotta get to know the guy. No, you don't. You just need one little glimpse into their psyche. I was having fun with my cause. We're laughing about Mike Dawson. And the time.
Chris Tyson
You gotta think of the guy.
Brian Bishop
Lisa Loeb.
Chris Tyson
The time I was just thinking about that.
Brian Bishop
It's the greatest story ever, where he just showed up at the radio station and went like, you know, you hear him going out with Lisa Loeb tonight or something. I went, you are. And he went, yeah. And I said, you're going out. Lisa Loeb, she's hot, she's rich, she's young, she's got a Grammy. And he was like, yeah. And I said, how's that work? How do you know Lisa Loeb? And he said, I don't. And they said, well, how is it you're going out with her. She's coming in today, right? I said, yep. And he went, she's single. I went, yeah, she's got a show about being single. Well, she comes in, she's single, I ask her out, and then I like. That's why Dawson's not here to defend himself. Well, I don't know if you want to defend that. I'd like to be a little bit more like Dawson, but here's all I'm saying. That's Dawson's psyche. Well, you don't need a whole. You don't need a hundred examples. That's how he thinks.
Vinny Tortorich
I gotta know, did they go?
Brian Bishop
Of course they did go.
Chris Tyson
They've been happily married for 11 years.
Gina Grad
Yes.
Brian Bishop
They have so many musical little prodigies running around the house. No. She said, no, but can you imagine
Vinny Tortorich
a voice on that kid?
Adam Carolla
Oh, yeah.
Brian Bishop
But in terms of, like, if I find something on your computer that's got this, that's enough. I only need to see, like, one image. Like, if you're into it, you're into it. I don't need to sit back and look at your entire pornography career or whatever else you're into. The people that are into this are into it, and the people that aren't aren't sort of peeking through the window of it. It's not like I sit around, like, every. Every other Wednesday and go, I wonder if today's the day I really take the plunge into child pornography. And then some stuff is kind of interesting out there. It's not. It's not like what people do with cigars where they don't really smoke cigars. And then one of their friends introduces them to a good Cuban and they go, oh, I kind of enjoy this next.
Chris Tyson
You know what's been all my life.
Brian Bishop
They're reading a magazine that had. They're learning about it.
Chris Tyson
Extortioners on the COVID It's not that
Brian Bishop
you're either in or you're out. And if you're out, you're a million miles out. It doesn't even. It's not even one of those. Well, now that I have kids. No way. Before I had kids, it was always a million miles away.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. And speaking of that, Mark Salling. Remember Puck from Glee? The show Glee? He's out on $150,000 bail right now for the thing.
Brian Bishop
So the deal is, I'm not surprised, but Michael is. He'll be missed. Wait, I have one more dice.
Vinny Tortorich
I gotta ask one more question about this.
Brian Bishop
Yes.
Vinny Tortorich
Okay. Michael Jackson dies.
Brian Bishop
Yes.
Vinny Tortorich
The first thing you do Is check his penis for vigilago.
Gina Grad
Vitiligo.
Adam Carolla
Vitiligo.
Vinny Tortorich
Right. That's number one. You look at that, right?
Brian Bishop
Yeah, we get that.
Vinny Tortorich
Number two, don't you just sprint to his computer?
Brian Bishop
I don't know how this stuff works.
Adam Carolla
This was like, sealed until now.
Vinny Tortorich
I think they knew how they knew about a film.
Adam Carolla
Well, they knew about it, but the public didn't. Until now. This was something that I think the theys. Whoever was investigating the FBI. Whoever.
Vinny Tortorich
The FBI.
Adam Carolla
Who else would be investigating.
Brian Bishop
You make a great attorney. Just make gurgling noises.
Chris Tyson
I wasn't there at the. I have the airtight. I have the receipt and pictures. My wife and I are celebrating our anniversary.
Brian Bishop
That night works.
Chris Tyson
We left the babysitter. The babysitter can testify. At one point I called on to check in when the alleged.
Brian Bishop
But I get it. That's what happens when you're Italian and you're trying to make a point. Yeah, but you rode your bike 200 miles today. Nothing's coming out.
Chris Tyson
I have a sworn affidavit from the
Brian Bishop
server who brought me my baramundi. Okay. So. Yes, thanks, Tom from Florida, where we heard on the ride in that the first manless or not manless, but automated driving car. The first fatality was today, of course. Florida. Of course. And it was a Tesla. And then I thought it hit a semi. And then we all went, oh, my God. And then we realized, oh, no, it was a truck driver from Florida who oncoming.
Adam Carolla
Yeah.
Brian Bishop
Had to be at fault. All right, let's see. Somebody's got questions.
Chris Tyson
A lot of European related questions.
Brian Bishop
All right, let me just blast through a couple of these. The Brexit.
Chris Tyson
Did it drive down the price of your Newman car?
Brian Bishop
That's an interesting point. Hey, Andy. Yeah. So how did that work out?
Caller Jonathan
Did it help you out with the purchase of that Newman car?
Brian Bishop
I bought the Newman car. Probably about five or six. I went a little Michael Jackson. I bought the Newman car five, six years ago. Chris is showing us a picture of a Jaguar, but I think it's blown up a little big. But I bought the Newman car, I think about six months ago, and I was already paid for it. It was just waiting for me when I showed up at Goodwood. The guy bought.
Caller Jonathan
So then you just bought more cars, right?
Brian Bishop
No, no, I just attempted to drive the Newman car and looked at a kajillion cars. But we were looking at some cars that were like on loan from the Jag Museum and on loan from the Porsche Museum and stuff. We were looking at Multi, multi, multi million dollar cars. They're not even multi million dollar cars they wouldn't put a price on because JAG has it in its museum.
Caller Jonathan
Yes, but there at the event, did cars exchange hands more since. Since some of the American money was.
Brian Bishop
It's not a sales. There's no sales really going on. It's just bring the car, drive the car up Lord March's driveway.
Vinny Tortorich
But nothing has happened anyway yet. It's gonna be a two year thing for the whole Brexit thing to happen.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, but the stock, I thought crashed.
Vinny Tortorich
Yeah, for one day and then it came right back.
Brian Bishop
But I like where your head's at, Andy. It's not a. It's a whole bunch of nut jobs go to Lord Goodwood's manor and race up his driveway. But there's no. They're not selling parts. You with me?
Caller Jonathan
Good.
Brian Bishop
Yeah.
Caller Jonathan
Good times.
Brian Bishop
Good to have you back, man. Yeah, good to be back. It was good. The crazy thing is, is they don't really have rules in Europe. And the car, to get the car down to the starting line, you just go right through the crowd. They just, you sort of push through a huge throng of human beings. You don't.
Chris Tyson
It's like a Santa Monica farmers market.
Brian Bishop
Yeah. You don't, you don't run them over. But there's, there's a bunch of people and they just kind of run in front. That's funny. Run in of you front. Run in front. Max, Pat'll show you a picture first. I'll tell you about. Well, Max Patta knew this one was coming. He's looking, he's got.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, not the Santa Monica farm.
Brian Bishop
He's got a lot of pictures. Sorry. Okay. The one I asked for in the car. Yeah, there it is. You literally, you can go to AdamKroll.com, but you push through where everyone is walking. It's not a path, that's not a pathway for cars. That's just a walkway. And everybody, everyone has to get out of the way. And it goes all the way down to the bottom of the driveway and it's nothing but human beings. It's like probably 75, maybe 100,000 people at this event. But good times. And I don't think you do it anywhere other than Europe because we're horrible here and we could never pull it off. But I'll tell you what you can pull off. Reverie Bed. That's what I missed, man. We went see, we were like the cheapest Airbnb in Nice, south of France. Then the cheapest Airbnb on the English countryside. And then. Oh, and then Amsterdam. And then. God, we did it all. Ireland for a day. Oh, I missed my Reverie bed. That's what I miss. The kids, they're there. Wife. All right. House. Fine. The dog. But Reverie bed. Oh, man. It's got the adjustable base. You can get in the zero gravity position, the anti snore position. Plus they got a special offer. You get 250 bucks off accessories, and they got a 0% financing deal. I'm telling you, it's worth it. The tough part will be when you go on vacation like we did. You will miss it. It's Reverie bread. Give them a call. 90888 5999. Go to sleeplikeadam.com. check it out. Get the 0% financing. Help yourself, man. All right, Real fast. And then we'll hop on with Vinnie Collin, 34, Tampa.
Caller Jonathan
Ace, man.
Brian Bishop
First time, long time going on.
Caller Jonathan
Hey, I love the island show is
Brian Bishop
one of your best. I got to ask you, though, what happened with Ryan? Did he fall to pieces afterwards?
Caller Jonathan
I'm sure he wasn't expected to get roasted for about 30 minutes.
Brian Bishop
Oh, the. Oh, the. Yeah, Ireland. Yeah. Yeah.
Gina Grad
We.
Brian Bishop
Poor guy. We had a guy come up in Ireland and Max. Pat. This is why I told you. Find out his other interests. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It worked out. Yeah. I'm a great producer. Do this job. Yeah. So turned your best. He. He was a guy who wrote us or who tweeted us or whatever and said, you know, I'm gonna come up there and I'm gonna tell you, like, what's wrong with Ireland or why Guinness is no good or why this is. This whiskey's no good. Jameson's or whatever it is. He was gonna. I was like, yeah, all right. Come bring him up. And then he came up on stage and he just crapped the bed. Like, he just. You could tell, you know, that look that people give of. I'm not used to being on stage when you used to have. For the first 300 shows we did. Yeah.
Chris Tyson
Wanna be show number 240 now?
Brian Bishop
No, just not prepared to be on stage. And then his message wasn't working with the crowd because it was how bad Ireland was. And he just sat there. And I basically.
Chris Tyson
Is this thing on?
Brian Bishop
I found myself up on stage with three people that weren't doing a lot of talking at the time, and there was no alternative but to start digging into poor Ryan. And the audience loved it, sadly, because that just fueled, you know, fanned the flames and just roasted him for about a half hour. Wasn't that long.
Chris Tyson
Took it easy. Did he laugh at his girlfriend for another 10 minutes?
Brian Bishop
His girlfriend?
Adam Carolla
Oh, he has a girlfriend.
Brian Bishop
His girlfriend was out.
Vinny Tortorich
Was that the girlfriend next to him on stage?
Brian Bishop
No, she's hot. She's still going. The girlfriend's cute too. No, that was the other problem. The girlfriend was cute? Yeah, yeah. She's a radio chick and she's hot. Daniella. And then there is their radio.
Chris Tyson
Chicks are hot.
Brian Bishop
Then there's Ryan. Oh, wait a minute.
Adam Carolla
Fudge.
Brian Bishop
It's been a week.
Adam Carolla
Come on.
Brian Bishop
There they go. That was mean.
Chris Tyson
That was mean.
Adam Carolla
Despise you.
Brian Bishop
Call her Colin. Sorry, Gary.
Chris Tyson
Stop laughing at me.
Brian Bishop
Yeah, yeah.
Caller Jonathan
No great shows over there.
Brian Bishop
Hey, when you get Norm MacDonald or Bill Simmons back on, you guys are all great together. Those guys. We'll work it out, but that guy sounds hot. They don't drive to the Valley, either. One of them. Those guys, it's the weirdest thing ever. We're in the Valley and, like, they don't go over the hill. It's like the biggest deal in the world. There's. There's an episode of Entourage.
Chris Tyson
Like Johnny Drama.
Brian Bishop
Johnny Drama's like, oh, my God, we gotta go in the Valley. Great. I gotta get a wet towel, hang around my neck. Stuff like that. Like, that's how they are. Norm physically doesn't drive and lives on the west side. Bill lives on the west side, does drive, but works on the west side. It's the weirdest thing. I told Norm, I'll teach you how to drive.
Vinny Tortorich
He doesn't drive at all.
Brian Bishop
People have no idea how weird Norm MacDonald. No, I think people do, but not well. See, there you go. You don't know. He doesn't drive. He doesn't drive him.
Vinny Tortorich
Does he know how to drive? Have you ever seen him, Uncle?
Brian Bishop
Unclear.
Vinny Tortorich
I'm getting ready to go.
Brian Bishop
Unclear, unclear. Very unclear. I. I don't think he can drive.
Chris Tyson
The last we checked in, but did not drive.
Brian Bishop
Thanks, Colin. Hey, thanks a lot. Appreciate it. And last but not least, Roman 26.
Adam Carolla
Ramon.
Brian Bishop
Oh, Ramon. Sorry, Ramon. Sorry. What's going on? Oh, did I hit that? Ramon? You hit two. Oh, okay, there we are. I had three. Sorry about that. Sorry about that.
Caller Jonathan
I'm driving home.
Brian Bishop
Okay. But. Yeah, I wanted to ask what was the best and worst part of Goodwood? Well, I had this thing. All right, I'm only going to do two minutes on this, but now, Max, Pata, you got to find the starting terrain on the starting line so we had this. It's a weather situation over there all time. It may rain, it may not rain, it may rain, it may not rain. And the car now, if you're good, you'll bring a set of slicks for the dry and a set of rain tires for the wet. The rain tires are quite deeply grooved and have quite a tread pattern on there. Would almost look a little like an off road tire. Not knobby wise, but made not quite beyond a street tire. The slicks are just a barrel of rubber. There's nothing on them. The rain tires are like past the street tire in terms of a little more tread just to get rid of the water that this car is going to be going through. So we didn't have rain tires, we just had slicks. And slicks when it's wet are worthless, less than worthless. It's almost dangerous and not even really worth doing it.
Adam Carolla
Were you just counting on it not raining?
Brian Bishop
Well, the deal was, is I was kind of dealing with a guy out of like, you know, Dorchester or something over there. And I kept. He said to me, like, I'm getting a set of rain tires. And I said, okay, get a set of rain tires. Because he said, you can run the rain tires in the dry. That's no big deal. You know, it's not optimal. You get a little bit better on the slick. But if dry, you can run the rain tires. But if it's raining, then we'll have the rain tires. And I said, okay, get a set of rain tires. I'll buy a set of rain tires, put them on the car, and that's what will have on the car if it starts raining. Starts raining. And then about a week before we came out there, he said, I have a set of tires that we have for the car. It's got. They grooved them a little bit, like, meaning they literally take like a soldering iron and will burn. Guys who get race tires will cut them, we'll shave them, we'll like heat cycle them, we'll groove them, we'll do patterns in them and stuff. So he said, I got a set of slicks, I already have them. And it's ringing through my head that they're like 450 bucks a corner for these tires that you're never going to use. And then he said, they have like some grooves like we have. They're grooved a little bit. And then he said, I think that should, that'll be good enough. And I just sort of went like, okay. And he's the guy, he knows he's there. But the weather just comes and goes and comes and goes. And it's kind of fun and it's beautiful, and it's the English countryside. But I had this thing where I kept checking the weather because I wanted to know, because the car, it has about probably a little over 700 horsepower, but it has one big turbo that makes all the power. And when the turbo kicks in, it'll just spin the tires, even in the dry. And it's not a good car to drive the band. The power band is not good when it's wet because it just comes on. It just comes on. And when it comes on, it comes on and you'll get off the track. So I was saying the whole time, and I have it chronicled. We'll show it to you at some point. But I just said, look, about an hour. I knew it was gonna. It said it was gonna rain at like noon or something that day. My group was going like 11:15 or 11:30. And I just said, look, here's the deal. Max Apata is. God is my witness. You were standing up. I said, either I want it to be dry or I want it just to be raining. Like, in advance of when we pull up to the start line. Because then it's just gonna be wet. We'll take it slow. Then we don't have. If it's dry, it's dry. But what I don't want is to pull up to the start and have it like, just start terrain. Because then it'll be unclear whether what percentage of the track is wet, what percentage of the track is dry. Like, where should it go? I just want it to be wet or dry. That's it. Even if it starts raining three minutes or five minutes before I get to the start line, it'll just be raining. But what I don't want it to do is just to start. Chris, do you have this? This is all I said before I got into the car. And you see him pulling up and it's dry. It's totally dry. And then they stop you.
Gina Grad
Wow.
Brian Bishop
Run back, just go back 20 seconds. It was not raining. It was dry. And then I pulled up and it just started to rain. It started to sprinkle, but now I didn't know if the track was dry or whatever the hell was going on. So that was a little disappointing. Although it is so. Well, there it is.
Adam Carolla
Did it open up? Did the sky open up at any point?
Brian Bishop
Yeah. Well, what happened was you can just let it run. You can turn it down and just sort of watch. You guys can see the driveway go through there. But now it's raining.
Chris Tyson
It is raining.
Brian Bishop
And I'm literally just a start line just waiting for the guy to go. Go ahead. Now you can go. But it was sunny and bone dry before this very instant. It wasn't even like a 30 second window. It was like a seven second window where I just pulled up.
Chris Tyson
Now that the camera's wet, they knew you were coming.
Brian Bishop
It's completely raining now. And it was dry the whole morning. It had not rained yet at all. Or done anything at all that day. So you basically just go right up this guy's driveway. These bleachers and grandstands and people.
Chris Tyson
Wet ground, by the way.
Brian Bishop
Oh, yeah, it's soaked people everywhere. And now it's. Now it's soaked, but it was completely dry.
Chris Tyson
Comically dark rain clouds.
Vinny Tortorich
Crazy, right?
Brian Bishop
It is crazy. And this car has so much power that, like at the end with the straight line and the finish, I was like, I'm gonna. I'm going to get into it at the. At the end. And the thing just started. The tires were spinning in fourth gear. Turn it up, Chris. Let's hear it. Just at the. We'll see the very end. But because I. That's a flint wall with cement. It's a flintstone wall on the left. Not the. Not the TV show. A weird sucking sound is the turbo.
Vinny Tortorich
There's no loping the engine to keep
Brian Bishop
it out of the turbo.
Vinny Tortorich
Right. There's no way you can do that.
Brian Bishop
Now. If you want to go a little bit, you'll see at the end. I'll. I'll get into it and you'll hear. You'll hear it.
Vinny Tortorich
When does it kick in, Adam?
Brian Bishop
Rpm oh, that was the tire spinning in the fourth gear. Oh, Vinnie, you missed. You missed it, man.
Vinny Tortorich
I heard it.
Adam Carolla
This is. This is his driveway.
Brian Bishop
That's the guy's driveway.
Adam Carolla
So if he wants to, you know, go to the circle K, you go
Brian Bishop
to the very top and then you turn around. All the other cars are just sitting at the top with this big crowd of people waiting at the top of this guy's driveway. And that's all the cars that have run. I didn't. I ran early. Like, I was like the eighth or ninth car. And there's everyone just sitting around with umbrellas open now. And then you just go this guy's thing. And then you queue up and then you go all the way back down the hill again.
Adam Carolla
And these are all timed or this was just more of a show.
Brian Bishop
Some are Timed, and some are show, but there you go. And as a matter of fact, there's the Ford GT that won Le Mans this year. Actually, that car didn't win. It came in, like, 9th or something. But they take cars straight from Le Mans. Just bring them straight on over. They're hardcore over there. Ramon.
Vinny Tortorich
Yeah,
Brian Bishop
that was a weird part, but it was really fun, and we had a really good time. And the best part was probably. Oh. Actually, the worst part is. Chris Max. Pat had never seen Red dawn, the first one with Jennifer Grey and Patrick Swayze. Yes. And we forced him to watch it at the Airbnb, and he didn't care for it. That movie is not a good. That is not a good movie.
Chris Tyson
You let him fly back with you.
Brian Bishop
Yeah, that was pretty devastating. So that was probably the worst part. All right, Vinnie, what do you want to do? Want to do a little fit or BS here?
Vinny Tortorich
Yeah, we could do that. We haven't done it.
Brian Bishop
Let's do it. Is that healthy making you feel or fat? Let's get the real deal from Vinnie Tortorich as we play Fit or Bullshit.
Vinny Tortorich
All right, here we go with another round. By the. You'll be happy to know I did Lynette's show the other day, and she grabbed me on the way out and said, hey, you know, I'm interested in talking to you about maybe going to the gym. So maybe if I could get Lynette moving in the right direction at the gym. Next thing you know, I can get her to tumble a bit and get the kids to, you know. I'm working on her.
Brian Bishop
I appreciate it. The kids are. She's doing pretty good.
Vinny Tortorich
She's a great mom. I love Lynne.
Brian Bishop
That. Oh, no, no. It makes it sound like she's a monster. She's great. No, those kids have eaten 3,000 more eggs in the, you know, nine months that we've known you versus the two years before that.
Vinny Tortorich
So we're doing something. Yes. All right, here we go. First question. You love coffee, but you worry about it really being good for your health.
Gina Grad
Right?
Vinny Tortorich
So, A, do you switch to decaf? B, drink regular coffee and just don't worry about it. C, try postum. Or D, there's no good choice here.
Chris Tyson
Okay.
Adam Carolla
Gotta be C, right?
Brian Bishop
No, C's possum. D's no good choice. I am going. I know that Vinnie doesn't like decaf or low, whatever. Or sugar removed and altered. It's never good. Your body doesn't fool your body. All right, that possum's bad because that's got some sugar in it or corn syrup or something like that. I've heard. And Dr. Drew is actually saying this, that you should drink a cup of coffee before you work out. It's actually good to get some caffeine before you work out. But how can you go wrong with D? You know, just don't do any of it. I'm gonna go b, have a cup of coffee, but just make it regular coffee. Me too. I think coffee's good for you with the. Except you can't do what James baby doll Dixon does, which is take out 28 sugar packets and play it like a castanet and then just go. And then open them all. But I'm convinced he does that to make a mess. Like, it's not. I've seen Martin's territory. Yeah, we're talking about him. The other day, Mike and I were like, we gotta get him to quit smoking. And I was like, he doesn't have a love of smoking. He has a love of littering. And he loves to just go from town to town and throw things out the window. And this. Cigarette butts. Yeah, Well, I guess that could work. Nick, around trail out there. I said I go be.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. Oh, wow. That's a lot of sugar.
Brian Bishop
Oh, I took a picture of what he leaves.
Adam Carolla
That's disgusting.
Brian Bishop
On the table.
Vinny Tortorich
How many cups of coffee is that?
Brian Bishop
Like one. Come on. I literally. Literally one and a half or two
Vinny Tortorich
things of sugar he has.
Brian Bishop
He'll have 10 or 13 packets of sugar in just one cup of coffee.
Chris Tyson
That's crazy.
Brian Bishop
I've seen this. I'll back you up.
Vinny Tortorich
This is real.
Brian Bishop
I have witnessed this at a diner in New York City.
Vinny Tortorich
Absolutely.
Brian Bishop
I did not stage this.
Adam Carolla
Well, I know it's anti climax.
Brian Bishop
I'm looking at a picture with spent sugar packets and cream.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. And a pool of syrup.
Brian Bishop
Right.
Adam Carolla
I know it's anticlimactic when we all go the same way, but I've seen you drink coffee, Vinny. I've seen Adam drink coffee, and I think someone would have said something by now. So it's gotta be just drink the coffee.
Vinny Tortorich
Everyone got it right. As B. The reason I even brought the question up. Gary knows that I wrote this maybe five or six weeks ago. And recently I heard one of your pods where you went off on Postum. Apparently you and I have the same issue with Postum we grew up on. It was around when we were kids, and it was touted as a healthy drink. Here's where the problem is. Coffee has never, ever been bad. It's the number one drink in the world next to water, period.
Brian Bishop
We would know if it was bad.
Vinny Tortorich
It's an antioxidant. Doctors would always say, don't drink coffee. You gotta get off the coffee. Coffee is good for you.
Brian Bishop
I have a sort of loose theory that doesn't completely hold water, but it'll hold a couple of coffee grounds. Which is things that as a society, not our society worldwide, just we've decided that we crave, you know, like we all crave meat. And we went savory everyone. You know, we don't agree about anything with the Middle east except for a cup of coffee in the morning. We all, every, everyone signs off on. I just traveled all through Europe. It was all a cup of coffee. Like so, you know, you want that red wine at night. Like the things that your body sort of craves are usually, I mean, I'm not talking about heroin or nicotine. Child pornography. Yeah, child pornography. Stump based pornography. But what I'm saying is usually if 200 kajillion cups of coffee are served every morning, it's usually probably gonna be good for you or have some positive effect.
Vinny Tortorich
And here's the thing, and actually CW Post, who came up with postum, he was trying to figure out another way to get people to eat his crappy grains. Way back in the day and back when these industrialists had a lot of money, they also had Yank with all the big media. It's the same thing that happened with marijuana and trees being cut by. What's his name?
Chris Tyson
Hearst.
Brian Bishop
Hearst. Oh, Hearst. Oh, oh, are you talking about hemp? Hemp being a thing, but treating marijuana, that threw everyone off. He's making pulp to rehearse, right? We've got to keep publishing a newspaper.
Vinny Tortorich
He goes up against marijuana. Same thing happened with CW Post. No, but CW Post was trying to go against coffee to make, to say, hey, if you drink coffee, it's going to stunt your growth.
Chris Tyson
Right.
Vinny Tortorich
They literally did ask that said if your kids drink coffee, they will become stupid.
Brian Bishop
Well, you know, when it comes to the media and how things work, this is why it drives me nuts. But I just got off a 12 hour flight. I sat next to Mike August and we watched all these movies and he just watched the 13 hours of the Mangozi movie.
Vinny Tortorich
Great movie.
Brian Bishop
I enjoyed that. And when it was done, he looked at me, I said, did you enjoy it? He said, yeah.
Gina Grad
I said,
Brian Bishop
but they left out the biggest part. I said, what part? And he said, the cartoon. The thing that caused the whole thing in the first place. The Cartoon or the. Whatever the film is. And I said, no, that was just a story that the media ran with, that everyone ran with in the first few days. It turned out it was 9 11. They were planning an attack. It was not the cartoon. The cartoon thing got debunked at some point, but we all got fed the cartoon line.
Chris Tyson
It was the early leader, Nicolbus, for the explanation of the story. Right.
Brian Bishop
By the way, what's this thing about your religion when we're blaming the cartoonist?
Chris Tyson
It was a drawing.
Brian Bishop
It was a drawing. It's insane. But that's a story that the media wanted us to run with early. And it was like four days of, we gotta get this cartoonist, which is insane. We have to get the people that murdered the ambassador. But anyway. And then Mike, three years later is looking at me going, what about the whole cartoon? Where they didn't hit on the whole cartoon thing. And I was like. Cause that wasn't part of the. That's not what motivated them to do this. But this is how it works. You plant a seed, move on with it. That's it. My mom, 40 years after post did this, was still thinking that coffee was bad. And Post, it was good.
Vinny Tortorich
Yeah. It's crazy. Yes. In fact, it's the opposite. All right, we're moving on. We're staying with the liquids here. Water is usually touted for weight loss. How much water should you drink per day to lose weight? A, one gallon, B, two liters. C, 64 ounces, which is the eight ounces, eight glasses, eight ounces a day. Or D, drink to thirst.
Brian Bishop
The deal of drinking and feeling full because you drink or using a broom in your stomach or something. Is there anything to a satiation drink where you drink and you feel like, all right, I don't need to eat as much because I feel something in my belly. Is there anything to that?
Vinny Tortorich
Well, since we're playing a game, if I would answer that.
Brian Bishop
Okay, all right, sit on that. I'm gonna go D. Just because one of the many, many things I've screamed about right up there with Purell and venereal sniffing dogs and things like that that are all coming true and crows and everything is why are we drinking so much water? To lose weight and everyone's getting fatter. And how come everyone made it without so much water and was skinny in the past? And then what is this thing where, like, you're supposed to. Yeah. Take your body weight. Yeah. Turn it into ounces. All right, now double that. Look, every nutritionist is saying that. Where did this Come from. It didn't exist before, and we're all morbidly obese and we never were, so it can't be true. It has to just be. Drink when you're thirsty. Like, urinate when you have to pee.
Chris Tyson
I'm going D. I said D as well. I always heard that the 64 ounces thing was, you know, for a long time. So I ate eight ounce glasses of water. But then I heard that you actually consume a lot of water in the foods you eat, vegetables and blah, blah, blah. So it's not actually drinking. It's consuming 64 ounces. But I said D regardless.
Vinny Tortorich
Okay.
Adam Carolla
I also think it's D. But just to not say D. I'm going to say a gallon.
Vinny Tortorich
You could say D. You're such a pleaser.
Brian Bishop
No, pleaser.
Adam Carolla
I just want to make it a little more exciting.
Vinny Tortorich
All right, so go with dd.
Adam Carolla
Go with D. I know you.
Vinny Tortorich
It's D. It's D. And here's the deal. Thank you for doing my rant for me, but nutritionists drive me crazy because they just spout what they hear. I think they just go on Google and just make an opinion. And the whole thing drives me crazy. I'll tell you what really drove me nuts. When Michelle Obama couldn't push the whole exercise and be healthy thing because she was trying to go up against big food, right? They shut the little lady down. So the next thing she went with was, well, just drink an extra glass of water a day and that will make you lose weight. I'm going, wait a minute. This is our government and the first lady doing this. Are we out of our fricking minds?
Brian Bishop
Yeah. Well, just the pyramid. I mean, just the idea that the government, that the pyramid was so screwed up with all the grains and stuff up top and desserts in the middle and all that stuff. It's scary and sad, especially something that is pretty easy. You know, we've been doing organ transplants for 50 years. You know, I think probably the first heart lung was probably done 40 years ago. You know, we know what the inside of a human body looks like. We're not praying to the volcano and throwing a virgin in. Why is this so. But we do that.
Vinny Tortorich
That's the problem. Look, what they say you were asking earlier, what if you drink more water, you will feel full. That's one of the theories. The other one is if you drink enough water, it will flush the fat out of your liver. And I sit there and just go, who's signing off on this?
Adam Carolla
Well, one thing I did Hear was, if you think you're hungry, drink some water, because you're probably thirsty, you're probably dehydrated. Is that BS?
Vinny Tortorich
If you have hunger pangs and you live in the United States, meaning you're not starving, you're not in India, it's because your body released a hormone called ghrelin, and all you have to do is control that. That's why. You know, when Adam talks about MCT oil, all you need is a little bit of fat to go in. It tells the ghrelin I have, I'm good fat in my body.
Brian Bishop
It cuts off ghrelin gum. Yeah, we need some ghrelin gum because the MCT oil is great, but it's. It's a little unwieldy. You keep it in the fridge, or you can't have it in your car, but some ghrelin gum. All right, last one.
Chris Tyson
Winner take all.
Brian Bishop
I'm picking. We pick it all in advance. I'm going A. Oh, I'm just going A.
Vinny Tortorich
You don't want to do that. You want to go with.
Brian Bishop
That's fine.
Vinny Tortorich
Okay. You're a beer drinker, but you. You know that it's tough to.
Brian Bishop
Brian and Gina, pick in advance. I'll be okay.
Vinny Tortorich
C minus.
Adam Carolla
Fine.
Brian Bishop
B. Yeah, go B. Pick B, Gina.
Vinny Tortorich
Okay, Everybody wants to drink beer. They want to know if they could drink beer and eat no sugars, no grains, and whole thing. So if you were going to drink beer, A, go with a light beer, B, get it to IPAs.
Brian Bishop
Yeah.
Vinny Tortorich
Or C, go alcohol free, you know, near beer.
Chris Tyson
I resent my vote going with the strong B.
Brian Bishop
All right, well, I got a. I got the light beer.
Chris Tyson
Yeah. My answer sucks. Not alcoholic. The calories. It's the malt and the yeast and all that.
Vinny Tortorich
So you're going with what, Brian?
Chris Tyson
I pick C ahead of time.
Vinny Tortorich
But you can. You can repay.
Brian Bishop
No, I can't. We're locked.
Vinny Tortorich
Okay. I'm going with B on this one. And here's why. IPAs have more alcohol per ounce, right?
Brian Bishop
Yeah.
Vinny Tortorich
You're gonna get drunk quicker. You're not gonna keep drinking it.
Brian Bishop
Well, let's get back to your, like, your. Your chips that are, you know, air puffed and have Lester in them and stuff like that. If you eat a pillowcase worth of those chips and you're never satiated or satisfied in. Yeah. So better. You're going to drink 22 Miller Lights versus a couple of IPAs. And overall. But what is the difference between if you were you just drinking 12 ounces, right. And one's a Bud Light, Miller Light, Coors Light, whatever. And the other is a beer that we, Brian and I would enjoy the hell out of. Like, is it. How is it all calories? Or. I mean, what's the real difference in that situation?
Vinny Tortorich
There's not a whole lot of difference. Go with the beer you're going to enjoy, especially the IPAs. I don't know what your endless rant
Brian Bishop
has, but it's six, two, I think, is what it is.
Vinny Tortorich
You know what a light beer has?
Brian Bishop
Like four, two, or even less.
Adam Carolla
Wait a second.
Brian Bishop
I think it might even be less than that.
Vinny Tortorich
And we're talking about alcohol content, Gina. So I'm a guy who says drink distilled liquors. You're getting closer to a distilled liquor with an IPA versus not being with an ipa, Right? So if you're gonna enjoy a beer, enjoy the ipa.
Brian Bishop
Your beer theory or your or fact for you, it's consistent, which is if you're gonna have a cookie, just have a real cookie. Don't have the snack. Well, with the carrots, if you're gonna have. Don't eat the cookie. But if you want to eat the cookie on a Sunday, then eat a real cookie. And if you want to eat a potato cheese chip, eat a real potato chip. Cause the fat is gonna do you good. And in this case, it's like, swap out the fat with the alcohol and go. In this case, you wanna be satiated. In the alcohol case, you wanna catch a buzz. And it's a lot easier to catch a buzz. Yeah. All right, Vinny. It's good stuff, man. Have an outro. Now you know the fit facts from the shit facts. Fitness Confidential is the name of the book, obviously. Live on stage with Matt Max Apata at the Ice House in pasadena, coming up July 14th. And also, we've got a podcast in here, right?
Vinny Tortorich
Yeah. Celebrity fitness trainer podcast. We have 650 shows out. Been doing it for four years.
Brian Bishop
And you can check that out at itunes or wherever you like. And yeah.
Adam Carolla
When's that one on?
Vinny Tortorich
Gina's coming up tomorrow. When this show comes out, go right over. After this show, go right over and check out Gina on.
Adam Carolla
It was pretty funny. You're gonna have to.
Vinny Tortorich
We had a great time.
Brian Bishop
Paul Scheer. Yes.
Vinny Tortorich
I did edit for you, Gina.
Brian Bishop
Paul Scheer is here. We're always glad to have him back. He'll be in studio next. Paul Scheer in studio. You know him for everything, really.
Paul Scheer
I'm excited to be here. And I have a question. Right out of the gate for you. Because I think this happened while you were away. How do you think Jay Leno took that car flip? Jay Leno was in a car accident. Like he was shooting a thing for his. One of his web series.
Brian Bishop
Did you see his buddy tweeting me that. Well, the thing that was funny is the last time, a decade ago, maybe it was even 11 years ago, that I was at Goodwood for the festival. Speed. That car, Hemi under glass. It's a. I think it's a dodge, like a 66 barracuda or something like that. And they put the Hemi engine in the back of it. And the thing about the Hemi engine in the back of it is it gives it weight in the back. And the car wheels.
Adam Carolla
Oh, my God.
Brian Bishop
And the guy looks through the floorboards. He has a. He has a window to look at. And what he did there is he turned and the back tire hooked up and j. Yes. So a lot of people have seen Jay. My comment as a. As a. As a semi competitive car guy. All right, here's the deal. When you get into a race car, you must either you can. You can stop it. Care. When you get into a race, you get one of two things. They put a net. You have a net that goes in your window. The net goes in your window. People think like, so rocks and stuff don't fly. No. So when you roll the car, your arm doesn't go flying out of the window and the car rolls over your.
Paul Scheer
Both their windows are fully open. Jay Leno could have lost his arm,
Brian Bishop
could have been rigged, his hands flanked. Because it's a centrifugal.
Chris Tyson
Centrifugal.
Brian Bishop
Centrifugal force is so great. Yeah, I've been up for 28 hours. That it'll pull your arms out. So there's two things, just so you know. You put a net in the window, but then you say to yourself, ace, man. What about when you drive your 2000 Datsun Roadster and it's an open top? There is no window to put. There's nothing to put a net up in. They have arm restraints. They go up your arm and they go to your upper right, above your elbow, and they have a bracket and you lock it into your harness and it'll let your arms move around enough to shift and whatever, but it won't let them go flying out.
Adam Carolla
Like a mental patient.
Brian Bishop
He should have had either arm restraints. He has a death wish. Or put the thing in the window.
Paul Scheer
He was hoping that could be the end Bill or whatever. His name was like Bill Riggins or whatever. He was like, that's how he wanted to go out. That would have been the coolest way.
Brian Bishop
He was 80 for Jay Leno.
Paul Scheer
I mean, not like if you, if he would have died in a fiery gigantic car explosion from doing a stunt, I think that would have been the best way out. Like Jay Leno just in a crazy stunt accident. Like, I think so.
Brian Bishop
I think that's the way we'd all like to see him go. No, I always laughed and Jay never thought it was funny when I told it to him. But I said, it's gonna be weird when some kid is writing a book report on you in 2050 and you died in 2038 in a steam car accident because the teacher's gonna go like, I'm sorry, you're way off. They did not drive. They were all electrical, they're all autonomous. Nobody drove a steam car in 2038. You gotta go check your reference material.
Paul Scheer
But yes, that's how he will be testing out one of these odd vehicles. And that would be it.
Brian Bishop
Well, those cars, the thing that's weird, if you've ever driven with Leno in any of those cars, the wheels are like 10 speed tires, you know, turn of the century stuff, literally. Like Stanley Steamers and dobles and stuff like that. Turn of the century and they had no front brakes, you know, and the rear brakes were cat gut or something like that. And you're sitting seven feet off the ground on this sofa up top with this steering wheel. It's like a tiller or something. It's not even a full wheel, it's a motorized carriage. You're just motoring down, you know, by the Burbank airport with tons of crazy illegals driving their modified Hondas with no insurance. And you're like, we are going to die this way eventually.
Paul Scheer
If you hit a pothole, I feel like that could knock out one of those old cars. It's not equipped for that.
Brian Bishop
He's, he's been pulling it off. I, I, I think he's probably gonna have to reign it. It was funny. He rolled the car and the 80 year old guy who was driving it was like, oh, my wife's gonna kill me. And Leno's like, my wife's gonna kill me. Meaning I'm a kajillionaire and I'm out doing this. This guy has to do this for a web series.
Paul Scheer
And that's the thing. Like he doesn't, you know, it wasn't, you know, like, I feel like that's commitment right there to get in there.
Brian Bishop
Oh, it is. But he loves it.
Adam Carolla
Not all wrinkle on the denim shirt.
Paul Scheer
Of course not.
Brian Bishop
Never super denim.
Paul Scheer
The denim shirt protected him.
Brian Bishop
The shadow, by the way. Fill the preppy teens. Fullscreen.com is where you go. It's available now exclusively over there. It's a parody of wealthy high school kids. Tell us more, Paul.
Paul Scheer
Basically, it makes fun of all those shows like Gossip Girl, Pretty Little Liars, Arrow, the Flash. It's all these teen shows with superheroes and. And kids in high school that look like they're 28, you know, but like, instead of having like a teen wolf, we have a teen leprechaun, A kid who on his 16th birthday turns into a leprechaun. We have like, you know, teacher. Yeah, we have Scott Wolfe from Party of Five plays the dads. He's awesome. So it's kind of a. It's a, you know, if you love those shows, I think you'll like it. If you hate those shows, you'll like it because it's basically just making fun of how ridiculous is, you know, they're killing their parents, they have tons of money, you know. In our show we have a superhero called the Boom. He just throws a boomerang and hits people. And, you know, it's like a. It's a, you know.
Brian Bishop
And what's, what's your part?
Paul Scheer
I created the show with a couple other people and I play the drama teacher as we put on a live version of the Leprechaun. The movie the Leprechaun. We adapted it for the school play. It's a very big deal.
Brian Bishop
That was one of those 80s horror movies. Yes, it was good until the foot race began and then the little person was never in the buckled shirt that were turned up in the front. Would never be able to track down the 18 year old who was scared to death.
Chris Tyson
No.
Paul Scheer
Well, yeah, like it was.
Brian Bishop
He seemed scary.
Paul Scheer
His teeth were kind of gnarled and he looked vicious. But then like all of a sudden you get to Leprechaun 4, he's in space. Leprechaun 3, he's rapping in the.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, no, that's the best one.
Paul Scheer
Yeah, that is the best one. When he's in the. When he's wrapping around.
Gina Grad
Yeah.
Chris Tyson
How many of the leprechaun films have you covered on your podcast?
Paul Scheer
I've only done Leprechaun 3, I believe.
Adam Carolla
I'm sorry, I gotta tell you, the Tagline on the Leprechaun 4 and Space poster, it says one small step for man, one giant leap for terror.
Paul Scheer
My question is, why do we always have to go to space in these movies? Like, Jason doesn't need to go to space. Isn't he effectively scary enough just in a small area to be on a spaceship? It seems redundant.
Brian Bishop
Yeah, I agree. I think it's sort of like. Like what they. I think everything follows the Emmanuel series. The erotic series. Emmanuel is like, hey, it's good enough just to see this b C cup get a top off and, you know, climb into the pool with the other ladies. Like, that's enough. But eventually, we got to start to spread it out.
Paul Scheer
We want those breasts floating in space. We want dongs floating around. You know, it looks way better.
Brian Bishop
Sex and zero G. Emmanuel and space. She ended up. She ended up with their.
Chris Tyson
Ironically, the space stuff, I'll bet is a. Is a money saver because you have the limited sets. You have really one set, maybe two, as opposed to, you know, just shooting, like a location.
Paul Scheer
You're shooting it for like $10.
Brian Bishop
I gotta think you're repurposing a lot of this stuff. Yes.
Chris Tyson
Stuff that already exists.
Brian Bishop
The show again. Filthy preppy teens. Fullscreen.com. and is it just. It'll be there waiting for you.
Paul Scheer
It's there waiting for you. Or it's like an app you can download in the store. It's like a Hulu or Netflix. So you can watch it on your computer. You can watch it on an app.
Brian Bishop
All right. We haven't done the news in a million years. Shall we do a little news? And Paul, you just hang out crack wise. Give me the News with Grad. News with Gina Grad. Show bids, congress Tech news, sports news, World news.
Gina Grad
Give me News with Gina Grad.
Paul Scheer
Weirdness down Florida Sex surveys.
Brian Bishop
Obama need. News with George, Gina Gina. The News with Gina Grad. Ah, first blinds galore, man. Fourth of July sale gonna start this week. Save up to 50% on everything. The biggest sale of the year. I just put up my last set in my office. I have them here. We have them in the edit bays. We have them at home. Everywhere. Blinds galore. Love these guys. Over 2 million windows and counting. I won the super service award from Angie's List. You gotta be good. Anyway, good guys, great company. Do yourself a favor and just, you know, I'm one of these guys that tells you that. Don't mortgage your house to buy sushi. You'll be passing it this time tomorrow.
Chris Tyson
It's a real. Yeah, bad idea.
Brian Bishop
But get some blinds. They don't wear out. They'll just be up there and you'll use them every single day. Check out Blinds Galore. They got a massive Fourth of July sale. Starts on the first. It's patriotic duty. Go to blindsgalore.com, let them know I send you blindsgalore.com. all right, Gina.
Adam Carolla
Well, a very confusing situation Thursday morning, and it did get solved, happily. Andrews Air Base, the military facility that's home to Air Force One, was placed on lockdown briefly Thursday after a planned active shooter training exercise was apparently mistaken for real. They thought it was an army threat.
Brian Bishop
More horrible than that, I had to clean the carpet at Andrews Air Force Base, which should be about 85 miles out of wherever we are right now. Or 100 miles out of what's got to be a hundred, though. There's one. Oh, there's Andrews out here, and then there's another one. Oh, this one's in Maryland.
Adam Carolla
Andrews Air Base, Yeah.
Brian Bishop
Oh, ours is Andrews Air Force. Now. We got to figure that out, Gary. Either way, you have to clean the car. Cleaning carpet is the world's worst job, but cleaning an airport is terrifying. It's terrifying. You just open the doors and go, oh, my God. I take this 9 inch wand and pass it over every square inch of this place.
Paul Scheer
I can't think of a more disgusting place, when you really get down to it, because what people are doing on that floor, what has touched that floor, what you look at people, and when they sleep with their head on that floor, it's a.
Vinny Tortorich
Don't.
Paul Scheer
This is more unsafe than not using a condom in sex. Getting on that floor like that.
Brian Bishop
I agree. You get earaches from that flood? Yes. So this is the one in Maryland. Not.
Gina Grad
I thought you were gonna say it
Paul Scheer
was shut down because a leprechaun got
Brian Bishop
on one of our planes.
Chris Tyson
That would be something.
Adam Carolla
Yeah.
Brian Bishop
Go ahead, Gary.
Adam Carolla
Basically the same thing.
Brian Bishop
I think you're mistaking it with Edwards Air Force. Oh, Edwards is out here 90 miles away. Yes. 90.4 miles. 90.4. Okay, so ours is Edwards and theirs is Andrews.
Adam Carolla
That still sounds pretty terrible. Emergency personnel at the base, located In Maryland, about 20 miles outside D.C. responded to calls at 9:30am of an active shooter. That's what an Air Force spokeswoman said. The call came in about a half hour after the schedul start of the active shooter drill. A federal law enforcement official.
Chris Tyson
So they nailed that part of the drill.
Adam Carolla
Yeah.
Brian Bishop
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
Very real. Was not authorized to discuss the incident on record, but they said the incident appeared to be related to the security drill. There is no active shooter. So that was that took over the news in the morning and had, you
Brian Bishop
know, the terrorists have won. Because, you know, when this thing were to go down in Turkey. Yeah. We were in the middle of traveling through Europe and we're at the first thing the next morning just standing in an airport. Where were we in Ireland at that point?
Gina Grad
Dublin.
Brian Bishop
Yeah. And I was just looking around going, I wonder if there's a guy with a gun. And then I went, oh, you've won Terrace. Because I'm now standing in this airport watching Dawson smoke on the curb and my head is on a swivel. Whereas normally I'd be looking for the kiosk to check in, now I'm actually looking around for a gunman. So me and three of my very sane, normal friends left a movie the other day with about 15 minutes left because somebody made us all super uncomfortable. He just screamed really loud and then exited the theater and then came back and was acting very weird. And we all just decided, nope, what movie? Now you see me too. Left count five. That's your fault.
Paul Scheer
Most people reacted that same way.
Adam Carolla
You know what that actually made me think is when we were coming back from Cabo, it's loud. It's a packed, small little airport, kids running around, teenagers. And I was just wondering if somebody yelled mom really loud across the airport, would everybody duck because we're that scared? It sounds like bomb.
Brian Bishop
Like, oh, bomb.
Adam Carolla
I mean, it's.
Brian Bishop
There's some NBA hook guys there or something. I thought it was illegitimate kids. I don't know what the mom was. Yeah. Well, the good news is the terrorists don't yell bomb. They just blow up.
Paul Scheer
You know, sort of like a game of tag.
Brian Bishop
Right.
Adam Carolla
But if somebody. Somebody pointed at something else they were seeing, I think everyone is just completely.
Brian Bishop
Everyone's freaked out everywhere. And I've always said just start going after the soft targets and freak everyone out. There's not much you can do about it.
Vinny Tortorich
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
Well, not to keep it too much in the bum out mode, but the Summer Olympics in Brazil is now just a little more than a month away, but problems continue to plague the host city of Rio. The latest issue arose Wednesday when Hughes human body parts washed up on a beach. Yep. Where the volleyball competition is going to take place. Police said the gruesome discovery of a foot and other body parts was made by a street vendor, but haven't given any other details. It's just the latest setback on a long list of problems facing the upcoming Games. Financial turmoil is threatening the safety and Services of visitors and concern about the Zika virus is forcing athletes to drop out. Localized street crime is also on the rise and by the way, begins August 1st.
Brian Bishop
All right, here's my theory. So there were two looks at the future. Like when, when, when I was like in junior high, it was always. I think it's because 2000 was always looming. Right. In 1987, it was like 2000 is coming, you know, And I've always said that wasn't 13 years from 1987, that was 113 years. So we were gonna have these huge changes that were coming.
Paul Scheer
It was like Buck Rogers took place in like 1998 or something. It was like, yeah, wow, that's a far away.
Brian Bishop
It's only a of ton time cop. They shot it in 94 and it took place in 98. And it was weird that they thought we were gonna be able to be futuristic cars jumping from time to time. Anyway, so here we. So it was always this. It was either this utopian sort of future. It always goes wrong. But all the hover cars and everyone's wearing these mylar silver jumpsuits and everyone's super polite and thin and looks good. Or there's the apocalyptic sort of escape from New York, escape from la, Even
Paul Scheer
Blade Runner kind of plays with the world that we're heading towards.
Brian Bishop
But now my theory. So the two, they had kind of two angles. One is sort of science and utopia. The other is bad government gets hold scans chips on you.
Chris Tyson
Emotion is outlawed.
Brian Bishop
Yeah, that kind of stuff. Now I'm just starting to think that we are just like a car that just keeps getting older. And it's like, well, the water pump went out. Cause it's got 150,000 miles on it and the head gaskets. And we're gonna. Gonna have to do the timing belt. Like maybe our civilization, I don't feel like it's getting. I don't feel like we're moving forward in the progress department. We're getting worse.
Adam Carolla
Have we plateaued?
Brian Bishop
I think we peaked out in like 86, 87. When was Leprechaun 5? When did Leprechaun go switch?
Paul Scheer
Leprechaun 4 is really where it all went down.
Brian Bishop
And then, since then, I just feel like we're just sort of coming undone. Like, I. It's not.
Paul Scheer
But don't you think. I think we're just going inside. Like we used to go out. So now I think in like 20 years, you won't be leaving your house. Everything's gonna be delivered to yourself. You're gonna be in virtual reality rooms, and then you won't have any reason to go anywhere or do anything. You will be psyched.
Brian Bishop
You will buy a drone on Amazon and a drone will deliver your drone.
Paul Scheer
Yeah, that's the way to go.
Brian Bishop
We're gonna turn on those, like, wooden Russian dolls.
Paul Scheer
We're gonna be like that car on bricks in front of a trailer park. It's kids will play in it. It still exists. You're not throwing it away. It just kind of becomes a different thing, an immobile thing, an eyesore.
Brian Bishop
Maybe Jay should test drive the one that's up on cinder block, get back out and run. A little bit safer for him, by the way.
Paul Scheer
Do you know when you get off the airport now, people have signs at Rio and they're like, go home. There's no air. There's no hospitals here. We don't have police. Like, they. They're in the airport basically saying that. And on the roadways, they spray paint. No hospitals.
Gina Grad
Go home.
Brian Bishop
Wow.
Adam Carolla
This is making Sochi look like it was a glorious place to be.
Brian Bishop
I was saying, when did Rio become bad? I don't know. It was always first. Blame it on Rio was one of the greatest movies of my youth slash early adulthood. That was a great, great film. And I know I always grew up wanting to go to Rio. It was gonna be awesome.
Adam Carolla
When my baby smiles at me, I go to Rio.
Brian Bishop
Yeah.
Paul Scheer
Come on. There's no reason for it to be like human body parts washing up.
Brian Bishop
I'm starting to have this. I've always had this theory, but I'm spreading it out a bit little. I don't think there's anything too close to the equator that's not getting their brains broiled. Like, it's too hot and their brain is cooking. There's no car. There's nobody. See, everything for me is cars. Yeah. I sort of judged, like, Germans, insanely precise people. And they build Mercedes Benz and Porsches and Audis. It's a reflection on sort of who they are. We're like Americans. We're like, big. And we build the big muscle cars. But the fuck fit and finish isn't quite where it's at, but it makes a lot of noise and looks cool. Like, our culture is exactly what our cars are. And their culture's. There's nothing that takes place along the equator. There's no car that's within a thousand miles one direction or the other that gets manufactured around the equator. And then I think. I think it's too warm. I think people's brain is starting to stew. It's briny.
Paul Scheer
I would like to see if we could just. Just look by the distance to the equator where our geniuses are, our Nobel Peace Prizes, our inventors, and just see if it is based on cold weather. I bet you there is some truth to that. People are just out on the beach.
Brian Bishop
They have nothing to do.
Chris Tyson
Spend more time inside with a book than it's cold.
Brian Bishop
Yeah.
Paul Scheer
OJ Went crazy when he went to Florida. I mean, he started here and then he went downhill.
Brian Bishop
Yeah. Oh, yeah.
Gina Grad
I don't know.
Brian Bishop
Try to figure out if there's anything along anything outside of this country, especially that's close to the equator, that's. That's thriving or has a big gut tech industry or innovators or. We'll figure it out. Anyway.
Adam Carolla
Well, speaking of beaches, officials at the Miss Teen USA pageant have announced that starting with next month's contest, the young ladies competing for the crown will no longer be parading in swimwear. The folks behind the competition have always said they never wanted to exploit the girls in the movie mix, only show off their, quote, athletic bodies. So now the 15 to 19 year olds will walk the Runway in actual athletic gear, which. Yeah. Which pleases the reigning Miss Teen usa. She tells USA Today, quote, this new direction for Miss Teen USA is a great way to celebrate the active lives that so many young women lead and set a strong example for our peers.
Brian Bishop
Finally, hold on a second. How about the part where Mario Lopez asks them a question about what we should do in the Middle east and they just go, The Jew people. I mean, the folks as Arabs, really?
Adam Carolla
She literally said, because they can't afford
Brian Bishop
maps, they can't afford something to that effect. To me, it's like, to me, I just feel like if we would spend more time. Are we out of time yet, Mario? No,
Paul Scheer
slower than when they have to answer a question about anything in geography or political stuff.
Brian Bishop
I would say put them in the bikinis and stop asking the questions. The questions is what really sort of shoots holes in the whole thing.
Paul Scheer
What if you made them strip down to a bikini? If they got the questions wrong, then
Brian Bishop
they get to keep their.
Paul Scheer
Smart people get to keep their clothes on and retain their dignity. And if you don't, you have to show off other assets. You don't have to it up top. You have to keep it somewhere else.
Brian Bishop
It's got to be a bummer for the guy who was working as a judge for the last 23 years, but just coincidentally can't make it this year and he has to Be like, oh, I'm out. Oh, I get it, Bert. I get it. No, it's a total no.
Chris Tyson
It's a pre existing commitment. I, I, I told I'm making a speech at the.
Brian Bishop
Yeah, you know I was gonna be out of the country for that weekend. I hear you, Bert. Brother in law's gotten remarried. Put the sweatpants on, you hit.
Chris Tyson
He asked you to be in the wedding.
Paul Scheer
All I'm saying is if Donald Trump took over that pageant, he would not
Brian Bishop
allow that to happen. Not on Trump's watch. Singapore, evidently is the closest thing to successful and near the equator. That's what we got. Thanks, Gary.
Adam Carolla
Well, here's something a little happier. A woman who recently visited the Lincoln memorial in Washington, D.C. has taken over the Internet all week with her impromptu rendition of the Star Spangled Banner. I don't know if you've seen this. Her name is.
Brian Bishop
There's one good thing about traveling for a week and a half, you don't see anything because everyone's TV sucks except for ours. We have good TV. You travel around. They go, BBC1, BBC2, BBC3, BBC. All shows about people talking about gardening and the guys doing the sign language is taking up half the screen. Wait, they have that.
Paul Scheer
They still have a hand gesture guy on those shows.
Brian Bishop
He's using Chris. He's using one third of the actual space on your tv.
Chris Tyson
The actual show is just like. Yeah, just a little box.
Brian Bishop
And they're just talking about gardening. Like off to the side. In France, we watched.
Chris Tyson
All we watched was BET France and
Brian Bishop
like old reruns of Cribs in French. It was so awesome to see, you know, to get caught up with Soldier Boy and all. The only, yeah, the only station. Yeah, the only station we had that was in English in France was bt. So that's all we watch.
Paul Scheer
And it was a current bet or is it just old bet?
Brian Bishop
It's all old bet and all they did was run marathons of cribs, which I can't get enough of.
Adam Carolla
Now, wait a second. It's not just a guy in a little box. Yeah.
Brian Bishop
We're looking at a picture of it.
Adam Carolla
That's a major full sized interpreter standing in front of a film strip.
Brian Bishop
That's my thing is like what percentage of people are watching the show are hearing impaired and then also just put subtitles. They have the tv, we can switch ours.
Paul Scheer
It really does look like they shot a movie theater screen and then someone stood in front of the movie theater screen and that's what you're watching.
Brian Bishop
Well, TV in terms of internationally is still a disaster. And listen, I would say this about. Look, I'll cut Amsterdam some slack. And some of these other places, Rio or some of these places that are closer to the equator, but uk, you got no excuses. I used to watch Benny Hill out of the UK when I was in junior high and laugh my ass off. You guys have no excus other than just lethargy to not pump up. Especially when you go to a hotel and it's going to be nothing but people who aren't from here throw a CNN in or a sport.
Paul Scheer
Just think, in two years, when Brexit finally comes in, how much worse will it get? That's the other thing.
Brian Bishop
There'll be less than it is now. When we were in Dublin and this Turkish airport thing took place and I was like, oh, I gotta get some news on this. Nothing. The news channels. But they were. They weren't covering that. They were covering the weird little parliament. They're always into this Parliament thing wherever you are. And that. There's nothing worse as a foreigner in a while.
Paul Scheer
Just in C Span. Just like you're watching foreign C Span.
Brian Bishop
Yes. Yeah. All right. Sorry. Where were we?
Adam Carolla
Well, this woman's name is Star Swain. She was one of many tourists visiting the memorial when her travel companion kept coaxing her to sing the National Antique. She was a little hesitant at first, but after some persistent badgering, she finally gave in. She belted it out. It's amazing. It's chilling. It's beautiful. Her friend captured the performance on video. It quickly went viral, still being shared all over the place. Here's just a clip of the very end. Even though the whole thing is worth watching.
Brian Bishop
Squatty jo. Fish rod. Hold on. Skinny asian. Oh, my God.
Adam Carolla
Whole crowd gathered. They gave out. Yeah, Gave out her phone number. He's one of the guys holding the phone. Was like, I'm the manager. I'm the manager. Call me. And hopefully she'll get a little work out.
Chris Tyson
It's a shot of Von Miller with a single teardrop coming down his cheek.
Paul Scheer
If Chewbacca mom can be going to Star Trek convert Star wars conventions now and signing autographs for 20 bucks a pop, she'll be on a TV show very soon.
Chris Tyson
She better be.
Brian Bishop
Yeah, yeah. She's. She's. Simon Cowell's got to get on.
Paul Scheer
I mean, Chewbacca Mom. Mom really did. I found it to be amazing, but really did nothing more than just put a mask on her face and giggle and giggle.
Brian Bishop
Well, I think so much of that has to just be about Timing and news cycles. You can't do that when the airport is shot at. It can't be 10 minutes after that. It's gotta be slowed down. Also, maybe tired of hearing whatever Trump or Hillary stories been out there and Chewbacca mom pulls us out.
Paul Scheer
Yeah, that really helps us that that's our biggest national export right now. Good viral videos.
Chris Tyson
Blue in the Wild.
Adam Carolla
Well, do you want to beat a parking ticket in court? Because there's an app for that. The Do Not Pay robot lawyer, which 19 year old British student Joshua Browder introduced last year, works by guiding users through a chat.
Brian Bishop
It's also great. Phil Hartman bit robot lawyer.
Adam Carolla
I'm just a robot.
Brian Bishop
Just a robot.
Adam Carolla
So it's a chat interface asking simple questions about the citation, from the accuracy of signs to how legible the ticket is. The team created the chatbot by scanning thousands of documents released under the Freedom of Information act and working with a traffic lawyer. So yeah, the site launching Do Not Pay has helped people beat 160,000 tickets, saving people about $4 million in fines total. And the best part, you don't have to pay to use it.
Paul Scheer
I gotta say, I feel mixed about apps like this because part of me feels like, yes, I want this app. But then another part feels bad for me for that cop who's like, ugh, I didn't make my quota because some jerk used this app.
Adam Carolla
Do you really feel bad?
Paul Scheer
A little bit, but not much.
Brian Bishop
I just got back from Amsterdam and all people did was ride bikes and mopeds and scooters and sort of park, you know, here's how you know our countries. A pile of crap. When you go to other countries, you see people and you go, ooh, look at that one guy, he's facing the wrong way, he's parked the wrong way. The other guy's all going this way, the guy's going that way. He's gonna get it. He's gonna get it. No, he doesn't get it because he's not really a criminal and he pays taxes and he found an open parking space and he didn't do the stupid move that we do, which is circle around and block traffic and do a five point move, whatever. He just slid in. And then on the other side of the street, there's people going the other way and everyone's just buzzing around on their mopeds, their bicycles and their little miniature smart cars.
Chris Tyson
Cars.
Brian Bishop
We didn't see any form of parking enforcement. We didn't see the sign. See, we are so stupid. We just drove in from lax. We land, you know, we hopped in the car at 3:30 in the afternoon. So okay, it's going to be a cluster heading out here. At one point we're looking at a sign and it says no right turn. It's got the big no right with the big arrow. I mean big stripe through it, no right turn, boom. And then, and then in miniature letter underneath it says between 4pm and 7pm but it's 3:45 and these idiots are just looking up at the thing that says no right. See, we're overwhelmed. You go through Amsterdam, you don't see a bunch of signs. There's not a bunch. Nothing's painted red. Nothing's painted red. There's no. Chris, was there no parking enforcement at all that you could see at any point? No. It moves so smoothly too. The whole time town just like a well oiled machine.
Paul Scheer
Well, isn't it?
Brian Bishop
Well, because they let people just kind of go. It's like the flow of life. Like hey, you don't get run over by a chick on a bicycle because let her go. And then you go and then that's it. It works. It all works perfectly.
Paul Scheer
The way that I think I've got it so summed up for me well, is in Europe exit signs are green, here they're red. So if you don't speak English and you see exit, you're seeing red. So that seems like don't go there.
Brian Bishop
That's bad.
Paul Scheer
But green would be like go. That's where we should be headed towards.
Brian Bishop
We're stupid. Everyone get these apps and let's just claim our streets back. Because here it's so predatory and it's so insane and I can't stand it. And let's just don't pay your parking ticket. Just screw it. We just drove here. Nick was driving, I told him to drive through reds. Drive through.
Paul Scheer
You never have camera lines, right? That's the whole thing. You never have to pay those.
Brian Bishop
No. They're getting greedy and we gotta fight back. This is what it is.
Paul Scheer
Free app.
Brian Bishop
Yeah. There should never. No.
Chris Tyson
What's it called again?
Adam Carolla
It is called do not pay the
Brian Bishop
Just the idea of a parking meter should never have existed anyway. Simply safe. Thinking about home security. No better time than now. Burglaries go up during the summertime. That's how they work, man. Simply safe. Two eyes in there, they put together a special package. I picked out a whole bunch of stuff, that's all you need. And you get it right now. Get 100 bucks off the complete protection package. I handpicked myself. No long term lock in contracts, no big time commitments. Right now. Right now, get 100 bucks off my hand picked security package. These guys are smart. Well, it's actually this one guy. I think he went to Harvard. His friends got ripped off. He's trying to get security system for them he didn't like. The real rip off is in the monitoring and the monthly fee. That's where you save anyway. Simply said, two eyes in there. Simply safe adam.com. that's simply safe adam.com all right, let's do one more.
Adam Carolla
Gay Pride month may be drawing to a close, but some cities keep the welcome mat out all year long for the LGBT community. And the Advocate has compiled a list of what it calls America's most gay friendly towns. While the list does look at serious elements like anti discrimination laws, it also keeps tabs on the bar scene and the likelihood of seeing Madonna or Ariana Grande in concert.
Brian Bishop
I found that.
Adam Carolla
Yep.
Paul Scheer
Like that breaks out spontaneously.
Brian Bishop
If you just like a flashback, hang
Paul Scheer
out long enough if you were in Cleveland nine times a year, Ariana Grande will just pop up on announce to do a full concert.
Adam Carolla
So America's most gay friendly cities. I have the 10 on here. One of them, which is a local spot, kind of surprising me. So I'll just run through the 10 real quick. Boulder, Colorado.
Paul Scheer
That's number one.
Adam Carolla
That's number 10. Edison, New Jersey.
Brian Bishop
Boulder's pretty super crunchy over there. Crazy crunchy, so that kind of makes sense. Edison, New Jersey.
Adam Carolla
Edison, New Jersey.
Brian Bishop
No idea.
Gina Grad
Yeah.
Brian Bishop
Eight.
Adam Carolla
Salt Lake City.
Paul Scheer
By the way, Edison, New Jersey. I would feel like, I feel like not to rag on New Jersey, but gay people have better taste than Edison, New Jersey. I feel like they should move to the city or to Long Island. Yeah, let's go.
Brian Bishop
I agree. Let's get out of New Jersey, hop on ironically named ferry and go over the. Go to Manhattan.
Paul Scheer
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. So Salt Lake City, Utah made the list.
Brian Bishop
Wow. Yeah.
Paul Scheer
That's surprising. Mormons and everything.
Brian Bishop
Look at that. Well, I think that's probably because of the Mormons. Right. Like they try to force it and it comes, you know, it's all footloose.
Adam Carolla
Right, right, right. San Francisco, of course. D.C. new Haven, Connecticut. St. Louis, Missouri. Cambridge, Massachusetts. Number two, Inglewood, California.
Brian Bishop
Wow, look.
Chris Tyson
Inglewood, City of Gates.
Brian Bishop
Hold on. That is just. Everyone in Inglewood is so drunk that they don't care what goes on in their city. It's not that they're not gay friendly. They're just passed out somewhere and they don't care like, this is like saying, my stepdad's really cool. No, your stepdad's an alcoholic and he's on the sofa, no paying attention. We party with him. Like, it's not really cool. That's. This is different than that.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, it must be. Gary, you have a theory.
Brian Bishop
How much are they weighing this Ariana Grande thing?
Chris Tyson
Because that's where the forum is.
Adam Carolla
I like where your head's at. That makes sense.
Chris Tyson
Like people who can't sell at Staples Center. Wow.
Paul Scheer
Bizarre. The Ariana Grande is part of the equation. Because you would think, like, San Francisco would be on this list.
Gina Grad
Yeah.
Paul Scheer
Manhattan would be on this list.
Adam Carolla
Make the list.
Paul Scheer
Yeah. There's a lot of places in my mind that Miami is not on this list.
Gina Grad
Sure.
Adam Carolla
Nope. Chicago. No.
Brian Bishop
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
And the number one most gay friendly city, Hartford, Connecticut.
Paul Scheer
No, this list is bull. That like Hartford. Hartford, Connecticut isn't like a gay.
Brian Bishop
They're number one.
Adam Carolla
Take it up with WTAE.com.
Brian Bishop
they filmed the Bob Newhart show there. Right. For God's sake, you got a B and B over there.
Adam Carolla
It is an odd list.
Brian Bishop
It's a bizarre list. All right.
Paul Scheer
It may have to all be where concert venues are. Cause there's a big concert venue in Hartford.
Adam Carolla
That was a good point.
Paul Scheer
Yeah. If it's all that.
Brian Bishop
Well, all right. Inglewood, California. First off, mind blowing. There's no gay person in their right mind would take a dirigible over Inglewood. It's that bad a neighborhood. And I've been. I drove through Inglewood an hour and a half ago on the way back from the airport there. I've never seen a gay bar.
Chris Tyson
It stands in stark contrast to places around here that are super.
Paul Scheer
Four miles away is like West Holly,
Brian Bishop
which is a gay.
Paul Scheer
Like a mecca. Like, that's it.
Brian Bishop
I think what they're doing here is they're trying. They're trying to get off the. On the nose sort of stuff. Like we got West Hollywood. That the gay flags on the sheriff's cars.
Chris Tyson
Yeah.
Brian Bishop
There. So it doesn't get much more gay friendly than having the gay flag on the side of the. Of the patrol cars. Inglewood is not that. Gary, do you still have a theory or are you done with your more of a theory? I just looked up. Sorry, but Inglewood is such a dive.
Paul Scheer
What if this is an elaborate prank by homophobes who are like, yeah, yeah, move to Hartford, move to Inglewood.
Brian Bishop
No, I got a better theory. Although it dovetails nicely with yours. With. Which is anywhere like where we live. Silver Lake used to be Gang infested property values. Where. I tell you, my sister. I know because I put the down payment down. She never paid me back the money, but I'm not hanging onto that. And I barely remember. But that was like, in 1998, my sister bought a house over, like $125,000. Was a crappy house, but it was up on the hill, had a little view, was.
Gina Grad
And it.
Brian Bishop
Everything. That's $1.6 million now or whatever it is. So that was Silver Lake. What happened to Silver Lake? They kicked out the gangbangers and they brought the gays in and they turned the place. The property value went. Maybe Inglewood. If you think about it, Inglewood is not too far from, like, Hancock park and other areas that are decent. It's on the west side. It's striking distance to lax. All they're missing is gay folks. If they could get some gay folk into that thing, that the curb appeal would start going up, the property values would start going up.
Paul Scheer
It's kind of like the way that New York. Everyone's living in Queens and Hoboken and stuff like that. You got to build out. This is smart, you know? Yeah, I like it.
Brian Bishop
They're trying to realize the gays to get to Englewood. All right, did we bring it home?
Adam Carolla
We can bring it home.
Brian Bishop
Let's bring it home.
Adam Carolla
I'm Gina Grad, and that's the news.
Paul Scheer
Gina.
Brian Bishop
Gina Grad. That was the news with Gina. Grand grad. Ah, Casserole Edge. Yeah, Full synthetic. Love that stuff. Three times stronger than Mobil 1 against viscosity breakdown. For the industry, it's the sheer stability test. That's right. And the 5W30 grade. So they did something really cool. They did two films. Castrol Edge took two professional race car drivers and they put them in an Aston Martin Volk and a Koenigsegg, which is like the craziest. I don't know. Each car is probably 3 million bucks. But either way, they drove them. And then they have them drive on a virtual simulator. And Jay Leno flipped them, and then Jay Leno flipped Hemi on their glass. And then they compared their two times on the same track driving the actual car and then driving the simulator. Anyway, you can go to Castrol Edge. You can go to Castrol us, Ed, go to their YouTube channel and check this piece of art out. It is cool. Anyway, titanium, strong for maximum engine performance. Make sure your next oil change is with Castrol Edge, baby. We got a challenge question up here.
Adam Carolla
Yes. From Lucas Friedenberg. He says, does the oil on a new car really need to be changed at 1,000 miles.
Brian Bishop
No, that's a break in thing like from your dad's era of cars where they go, that's break in oil.
Chris Tyson
So used to be you couldn't take the car of a certain mile per hour or something like that.
Brian Bishop
RPMs is what they were worried about cranking it in because they. Because engines, the technology was doing on his computer, everything but. So the deal was, is your rings and your pistons and your bearings and you're moving parts when everything was getting broken in. Little pieces of metal shavings and stuff. Sort of. Actually, James Dean died in that 550 Ferrari, sorry, Porsche Spider. Because back in the day you had to break your car in. And he bought that thing at a Porsche dealer on like Beverly Hills or the west side in Los Angeles or whatever. And he was going to race it like the next day or two, but it wasn't broken in. So how do you get a couple hundred miles on it or whatever? So he said, I'll drive it to Button Willow, which is out. Out by Edwards Air Force Base. I'll drive it out there and I'll break it in that way. So that's what he died in. Basically a race car that he was going to a race. You're like, why was he in a race car on the street? Well, back then it was like streetcars and race cars were a little blurry, but he was breaking it in, driving it out to Buttonwillow in the desert and was killed by that driver.
Adam Carolla
So breaking it in was a thing. It's just not a thing anymore.
Brian Bishop
It was a thing. It's not a thing anymore. And when you do the oil change, go with the Castrol Edge. That's what I'm saying. Wait, but then when you do it, go with the Castrol Edge. All right, live shows coming up. Las Vegas, July 8. Treasure Island. UFC heavyweight Frank Mears gonna be over there. Good guy, interesting guy. And like I said, he made Brock Lesnar tap out. He made Brock Lesnar.
Chris Tyson
That's the first line of the resume.
Brian Bishop
No more. He like took Brock Lesnar and then he went, I'm gonna throw you down on the ground and I'm gonna force you to smack your hand on the canvas. So until you quit. That's a tough dude.
Chris Tyson
So maybe don't roast him on the stage.
Brian Bishop
Not so much. Or do huge ratings, live shows everywhere. Just go to ancarolla.com and check out where we're going to be.
Adam Carolla
Yes, Gina Graham isn't there, like, a new hat?
Brian Bishop
Oh, thank you. Yeah. The new hat, everyone. It's our limited edition. Don't do your best, do my best. We're bringing it back for a short period of time because people actually, we had it on a shirt. Now we're having on a hat.
Paul Scheer
That, to me, is the best slogan
Brian Bishop
of all time, I think. You know, if I can say this, and I don't like to talk about myself, but just this one. Okay, Paul? It's good because it's good, but it was totally organic. I was just standing out in the parking lot. My assistant, Matt Fondelier, screwed the pooch totally on some thing. And he came running out and he was like, sorry, boss, but I screwed up. And I said, all right, well, we gotta fix this. And then he stopped and he. He went. I did my best. And I said, don't do your best, do my best. And I sent him back into the office. And it was organic.
Paul Scheer
It's great. And it goes back to what we were talking about in the commercial break, which was the idea that, you know what? Use my thing. Do whatever you want in my space, but just put it back to the way that I had it. Just make it look like you weren't there. I like that idea.
Brian Bishop
I would go into people. I was literally a starving carpenter for at least a decade, and the sole second half of my career was going into rich people's houses and doing finish work for them. And of course, I'm starving and stuff. Like, when you're that starving bachelor guy, big thing of, like, cashew nuts and things like that. That's a big ticket item.
Paul Scheer
Yeah.
Brian Bishop
This is a little before the whole Trader Joe's thing, where everything was there. You know, you'd have to go to the market and you'd look at the cashew thing and be like, $9. Like, that's a big ticket item. Lots of certain kinds of. Kinds of fruit. You know, peaches and pears and things. Like, these are all things I never had at home. And I'd go into the guy's house. You know, Ron, the restaurateur, ran a restaurant over on the west side, him and his partner John, and they'd split and they'd, like, leave me the keys, and I'd be doing the finish work in their house. But of course, I'd go into their kitchen immediately, and I'd get. I'd take a hit of the cashews, but I would turn the container. I would first make note of how
Paul Scheer
you have to do.
Brian Bishop
You take A mental picture.
Chris Tyson
Cat burglar.
Brian Bishop
Well, now that you have cell phones,
Paul Scheer
there's no reason to not put it back. If you're gonna mess something up. Take a picture, look at it, go back and forth, and make sure you get it right.
Brian Bishop
I was like, so I would. Like so I'd take, you know, open the pantry, take. See how it was positioned, take it down, take enough to satisfy me, but don't get greedy. So when the guy reaches for the can, it just hand goes flying up in the. I did this, I'd have. At my house, I think I had, like, back in 10 years ago or something. I had, like, nut of the month club or something. Get the big sack of mixed whatevers or the macadamias or whatever. And I'd come home from doing the morning show, and in my kitchen on the island, they'd just be sitting there just wide open, like someone put an M80 in. And I'd always say to Ozzie or whoever's working in my house, I'd go, look, eat the nuts. Just fold them over and put them back so I don't go right to them. And then it's like the next day, you'd go back, and you'd just be sitting there, like, wide open, getting rancid and dusty. What is that?
Paul Scheer
It makes me mental. It just takes no time at all to just fold over the bag, put it back in the thing. My wife and I have the biggest argument about the dishwasher. And this is kind of. It's adjacent to this, which is. She'll just put any dish in there as dirty as it could be. And I just said, we just really rinse it. You don't have to, like, wash it. Just put some water on it, and then you could put it in. She's like, no, I'm not gonna do the dishwasher's job. Like, that's the dishwasher's job.
Adam Carolla
Adam, I think you might be siding with the wife.
Paul Scheer
Oh, really?
Brian Bishop
No, no. I side. Here's. Here's what I said. First off, my wife literally sterilizes the casserole dish and then puts it in the dishwasher. And I'm like, you're standing over the sink. You have the soapy sponge out. You're running the hot water on it. Your home. You're here. You're here. What you're gonna do is bend over and do it, and then have to unload it and reload it. And I'm like, you're right here. Another 10%. One more lap. Around this casserole dish, and we're good. And her thing is just like, I don't like it. It's yucky. Like, she has the. It's hard to argue with yucky. But her thing is, like, it smells weird. And you're like, it doesn't. It's fine, but you can't. Whatever's on your pillow right now is much worse than this. And whatever's on your cell phone or your keyboard of your computer statistically is covered with SARS compared to what this is. But it's hard to argue with this visceral. Like, it's weird. It smells weird. I don't like it. Yes. It says. You know what? It's like a. It's like, people don't eat ground beef, and you want to just yell at them. It's beef. It's me. I don't like it ground. You like steak? I love steak. You like kebab? Well, this is that. But there's something about it.
Gina Grad
Yeah.
Brian Bishop
It's like.
Paul Scheer
It's the same thing presented differently. It's like saying, I eat eggs, but I don't eat almonds.
Brian Bishop
What do you mean? I've met people I've met in my life that eat cheese but don't like melted cheese, and I just want to backhand them. But as far as your wife goes, I get into this too, which is. I have to say this a lot. It doesn't help, but you can try. I say a lot. When we're going on five laps over nothing, I go, this isn't my way of doing it. It's the way to do it.
Paul Scheer
It's just the thing.
Brian Bishop
This is what the manufacturer suggests. Maybe it'll be easier to imbibe if you don't think it's coming from me. I'm passing along information. I queen from watching commercials about detergent.
Paul Scheer
We got into such a. It was a constant fight with us with the dishwasher that she's like, well, I think the dishwasher doesn't work. We need to get a new dishwasher. I was like, all right, I am gonna spend. I'm gonna look. I looked on consumers. I got my thing. I got the best dishwasher. And I was like, now, let's see. And then she put it in the same way, and it didn't wa.
Brian Bishop
It doesn't.
Paul Scheer
It's not like. There's not, like, little birds in there, like the Flintstones that are scrub plates. It's gonna get some of it, but you're gonna still have, like, A big chunk of cheese on the end if you leave it in there. And now I think she's not conceded it fully. She's like, ah.
Chris Tyson
Allowed for the possibility.
Paul Scheer
Yeah. Now she's a little bit more open to it. But it took me buying a new dishwasher.
Adam Carolla
To prove your point.
Brian Bishop
To prove my point.
Paul Scheer
Which I gladly did because I was like. I knew I was right.
Brian Bishop
Yeah. I think again, but it's the fine line. Cause once you start spent enough time at the sink, maybe it's time just to put it in the dryer. I'm also. I don't even like them building up. I just do them as I go and put it. And then I'll just grab it off the rack and use it for the next.
Paul Scheer
Yeah, I don't use it as a jumping ground. I don't use it as like, I'm gonna fill this up all during the day. Then it becomes insurmountable. You don't want to sit there in
Brian Bishop
front of the sink. All right, where were we? I'm with Paul on this one. Wherever Paul is.
Paul Scheer
The hats.
Brian Bishop
The hats. You actually. Oh, the hats. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Don't do your best. Do my best on a hat. Very nicely embroidered, by the way.
Chris Tyson
Spread that message.
Brian Bishop
Spread that message. All right. Endless Rant IPA out there. All the good stuff you can find. Paul Scheer, everyone.
Paul Scheer
Thanks so much for having me help
Chris Tyson
Paul pay for that new dishwasher.
Brian Bishop
Build the preppy teens. Fullscreen.com is where you go. Vinnie Tortorich is. Let's see, Fitness Confidentials. Yeah, didn't have in front of me. Check that out as well. Until next time, it's Adam for Paul and Vinnie and Gina and Bald Sand. Mahalo. I wonder if today's the day I really take the plunge into child pornography. All right, that's Adam K Show 1851. Coming up next, we have Adam K Show 1854. This one's featuring Daniel Trejo, Craig Moss, Gina Grad, and Brian bishop, also from 2016. Good day, Gina Grad.
Adam Carolla
Good day to you.
Brian Bishop
And Bald Brian. I may die early, but I will die busy.
Chris Tyson
Chris Tyson.
Brian Bishop
So I never really finished telling a couple stories. One Airbnb and two lobsters. Lobsters are definitely one of those things that falls under the heading of. Of. It's such a cool, semi expensive, and nice gesture for someone to do for you. But you got to realize I grew up in North Hollywood. Here's as close as I got to lobsters from 0 to 28. Once in a while, when we Drove over the hill when the old VW Squareback wouldn't get vapor lock. And we made it over the hill, usually for something free, we would pass a restaurant on the corner of Santa Monica and I think it was Lo Cienega that was called the Lobster Barrel, and it was the Skipper, predates my time in la.
Adam Carolla
Sounds good.
Brian Bishop
Skipper from Gilligan's Island. Hale, I think Alan Hale, owner of the Lobster Barrel. And that was the closest I ever got to physically seeing a lobster from 0 to 28.
Adam Carolla
Just a lobster on a sign, basically.
Brian Bishop
And I remember again, my family was so bad, but they were smart. They made everything so fantastical that everyone would stop asking. You know what I mean? It's like my dad taking a $2Bic lighter and flicking it and going, look at this. It produces fire. It costs millions. And with this, you'll rule the kids kingdom. And nobody after that went, well, why don't you go give me one of those? Because everything was out of. When we would pass Alan Hale's Lobster Barrel, I never went in and went. I never said to whoever was driving, piece of crap that was bought off of the recycler for $400, hey, why don't we swing in and have lunch? That would have been an insane comment. That would have been insane. You would have never brought it up because we were sufficiently broken by our downtrodden families. Now, we could have said, hey, maybe they threw away some whole claws in the. In the dumpster, something. We could fish through there. Or maybe we could swing by the Lucky Supermarket, and maybe Swanson's has a Alan Hale's own offering for some imitation crab or something. But certainly never swing in there. So later on, when I started going to restaurants and things, I would just stare at the lobster tank, just sort of mesmerized, but never really. That's not for me either, because that's the most expensive thing on the menu.
Adam Carolla
That's market price.
Chris Tyson
It's decoration.
Brian Bishop
Yeah, it says market price. It's never a good thing. That's right up there with when they're doing the car, they're selling the car and then the price inquire.
Adam Carolla
Oh, no.
Brian Bishop
Never a good sign. Especially when there's a car for $385,000 above it. If I got to inquire about this one. Lookout World.
Chris Tyson
So the old thing, right?
Brian Bishop
If you have to ask, you can't afford. Never, never got. And then, well, lo and behold, Rob and his Uncle Rob sent over some lobsters for us to make, and it was just me and the kids. And I have a gene which is, I don't mind doing things that are. Are dangerous and I don't mind taking chances. And I don't. I'm not a big fan of gore or blood or compound fractures or things like that. I try to avoid videos where the kickboxer gets the compound fracture or whatever. I just. And I also sort of not so quietly worry about those people that are into, you see the faces of death video. It's awesome. A mom gets cleaned out by a commuter train. And it's like, you really want to see this? Like, first off, indicator. I can imagine what it looks like to have a young lady run across a Eurorail and get cleaned out by bullet train. I really can.
Adam Carolla
I need to confirm it.
Chris Tyson
I'd rather not know.
Brian Bishop
Yeah, I don't need to see it. I really don't. But for some people, that's just. Hey, that's the way we like to pass the time. And I don't trust that. It's a little schadenfreude. And I wonder. I wonder a little.
Adam Carolla
It's the ultimate schadenfreude.
Brian Bishop
Well, I wonder what percent of successful movers and shakers are averse to these videos. Like, I am. Like, they just go, it's a waste of time. It's someone else's misfortune. It doesn't put me in a better place. And by the way, I feel bad for the family. Like, I know I don't want this. I have other things to work on. Like, I think there's something dovetails in there nicely. But either way, like, if things are
Chris Tyson
going well for you, you sort of
Brian Bishop
like, why do I seek pleasure? Or why do I get some sort of satiation from watching the misfortune of others? And I feel like Elon Musk doesn't have that gene. He gets his rocks off by putting someone on Mars. But either way, I have the same thing with shellfish.
Chris Tyson
I knew it.
Brian Bishop
Anyone wants to throw a soft shell crab at a commuter train. I am not.
Chris Tyson
I can imagine what that looks like.
Brian Bishop
I just, I've always. As a kid, I've always. It's funny because Drew always says I have no empathy. I have so much empathy that I can't fish, because I can't. You know, they do that thing where they go, you take the minnow and you put the hook through its eyeball and then it runs around and it's like, I don't. I don't like that. Now I intellectually get it. I eat hamburgers. I get it. I just don't want to be that. I just don't want to physically be that. So I'm like. And I think the only one further away from this is my wife, because not only does she not have the lobster gene, and not only does she not have the killing something gene, but also this is something.
Vinny Tortorich
You know what I mean?
Brian Bishop
This is a deal. And her thing is, I want to relax. So this is a deal, and it's killing a shellfish and it's something.
Adam Carolla
This is kind of a time sensitive situation, right?
Brian Bishop
Yes. And we have no recipes or anything. And Lynette literally says, I'm taking them to the butcher. I just go. I don't. I don't think you could take that to the butcher. And if you do, I think it's defeating the purpose of what we're doing here with this thing. So. And I don't know anything. This part about, you know, bust the tail off and suck the thing up. You got scissors and you smash that thing.
Adam Carolla
I don't have tamale.
Brian Bishop
We don't have nutcrackers. I hire a guy who cracks my nuts. Comes in on Monday. No, I switch him. Charles comes in on Tuesday, Thursdays, and every other Saturday and gets me all the pecans I need.
Chris Tyson
What are the chances? His name's Charles Robbins just calls him Charles. His name's probably Steve, by the way.
Brian Bishop
In the. Can you guys help me figure out life for just one quick second? I'll get back to the lobsters or my life or tell me if everyone's life is like you just took mushrooms and crawled into some spider hole that took you to a new dimension a week ago. The pool guys. I'm now proud to say I have pool guys because I finished the pool. You made it by July 4th. Swimming in the pool. Funny night swimming with Sonny last night. And I said, boy, you don't even know what you got here. I made it my whole life and then my whole adult life without a swimming pool. And he was like, hey, I had a stretch without a pool either.
Chris Tyson
He made it his whole life, too.
Brian Bishop
I said, hold on now, Lord Fauntleroy. When you were born, you were born into a house that had a pool. And then we moved when you were seven into another house that had a pool. And then we moved into this house around Thanksgiving, and now we're floating in the pool. So I. I was like, you had a thin about eight months where you were pooless. And he was like, more like 10.
Adam Carolla
He was counting.
Brian Bishop
I'm gonna drown you in this pool.
Chris Tyson
I can see the grit insulation is really going well. Sonny, he's really feeling it.
Brian Bishop
Actually, now's the time to drown him because I could easily blame it on Phil the dog.
Chris Tyson
Yeah, Absolutely dragged him down.
Brian Bishop
Easily. Rambunctiously easily. There's not a court in the land that would convict me. Even Lynette would be okay with it. She'd be like, I told her that dog's a brute. That dog's 90 pounds of claw and jowl and will take anyone down. And poor thing terrorizes Sunny in the pool. Because as soon as it gets in the pool and it starts chugging towards Sunny and Sunny's, like, trying to get out of the way, like, because here comes the super long claws and the jowls and the tongue, and he's coming aside. He's like, I can't escape. He's getting into deeper water.
Adam Carolla
It'd be so funny to put a shark fin on and fill for the pool.
Brian Bishop
We could do that. That's a good call.
Adam Carolla
Who weighs more, Sonny or Phil?
Brian Bishop
Phil. Phil outweighed Sonny last time we checked. Either way. I don't know what to do with these lobsters, but at like, 8:00 clock at night, I open them up. I know. I told you some of this stuff. I got a pot that'll accommodate one lobster, which is bad because the other ones are coming out of their coma and moving around. Sonny wants nothing to do with this.
Chris Tyson
What's happening to Roger?
Brian Bishop
I have. I don't want much to do with it either. I know. You can pick him up by the back and drop moving. The tail starts curling, start flailing around. I've never touched a lobster. It's just. It's where I'm from. We just. It didn't exist. It was. I would see depictions of lobster on Heart to Heart. That was as close as I got in. Allen Hales. Yeah, Gary, show us Alan Hale's lobster barrel and you guys will have a weird, weird flashback. But either way, Natalia wants some. She wants to get in on it. She's a little hesitant. I'm not helping her by standing on a phone book and holding my skirt over my head. That did not help, but she kind of wants in. Sonny, he adjourns to another part of the house and sits down and she wants in. And then the thing that's funny about gritty, Natalia's like. Natalia starts reaching for it, and the thing, like, flopped. It's paw, scorpion tail. It's claw over to her, and she's like, oh, you want some? It's on now. Like, she's going back at the lobster Underdome and she's shoving it in the pot. And then when the thing gets out of the pot. Unclear what to do with it at this point. You know, bust the tail off. I gotta get some scissors. We do not have a nutcracker. It's unclear where the meat ends and the lobster starts and the stuff. And then. And the weird black stuff inside and all the gooeyness and just an insane.
Adam Carolla
Did the noise freak her out? Did it make the noise when the show.
Brian Bishop
It did not make the noise. It did not make the noise. But to all my PETA friends out there, the tail does curl up.
Chris Tyson
Spoiled alive. Yeah.
Brian Bishop
Yep. Which indicates it's reacting to something. Either way, we ended up banging it out with a hammer and pulling all the stuff out and trying to do. The kids ended up eating pasta for the most part anyway. And I was left with this huge pile of lobster, which I don't particularly like. Lobster especially. Well. No, I. I enjoy surf and turf, but. Made by professional. Brought to my table.
Chris Tyson
John Butter beautifully.
Adam Carolla
Yeah.
Brian Bishop
The stacked lobster tail, what I have in front of me, looks like somebody put an M80 up a lobster's ass.
Chris Tyson
Yeah. You have parceled out lobster. A pile of lobster.
Paul Scheer
Yeah.
Brian Bishop
And the drawn butter thing, it just. It didn't. Didn't quite work. But I enjoyed it. It was sort of a fun story with the. With the. And all that stuff.
Adam Carolla
That's one lobster.
Brian Bishop
Well, we did. Times three. Sonny again, was nowhere to be found. Natalia and I were left to go at the lobsters. I finally found some scissors. You know, it was one of these things where I. I had the tongs, the metal tongs, and I was trying to grab it by the back and drop.
Adam Carolla
It's a claw machine.
Brian Bishop
Drop it into the pot. Well, there's Alan Hale's lobster barrel. But this is a new location or different location. The sign Skipper Alan. I miss a time where you could simply play a skipper or a sheriff on T. As long as it went more than three seasons.
Chris Tyson
That was your life.
Brian Bishop
Certified and deputized like that was you. I mean, my buddy, he wants to commandeer our boat.
Chris Tyson
He is a skipper.
Brian Bishop
My buddy. The guy who won Citizen of the Year in Santa Monica for thwarting a rape was bestowed, had this, you know, this medal bestowed upon him enduring the ceremony of Citizen of the Year from. For Santa Monica for, you know, circa 1992 or whatever it is. They had, like, Martin Mull from Adam 12. Like, there's a TV cop who gave him. But to everyone else it was like an official cop. No, he's an actor who has nothing to do with law enforcement, but he's giving the thing. And Alan, I don't really think, you know, it's like Patrick Dempsey doesn't really get to be a doctor now. Whoever's doing whatever law show doesn't really get to be a lawyer. But back then, you kind of got to be that person.
Chris Tyson
Sure. For your test results, here's Patrick Dempsey.
Adam Carolla
And I don't mean to be a jerk, but you showed us the picture of the lobster barrel. That place looks super depressing.
Brian Bishop
That is not the right picture. The sign is the right picture. The actual place was a little bit different. I think it was on La Cienega and Santa Monica. Right off of Santa Monica, I found the place. It's since been changed into a bunch of restaurants that I know, but I can't find an old picture of, unfortunately.
Adam Carolla
Was it fancier?
Brian Bishop
It didn't have windows, so it was very high end and mysterious to me was like a high end Mexican place. Like $30 entrees. It was really good. But either way, again, a bridge way too, way too far. So that was the lobster experiment. The other thing I was going to get into. I might need to pour some Punisher for this Airbnb bizarre experience. And boy, did I get off on the wrong foot with Airbnb. Because my first Airbnb experience was Goodwood almost a year ago. Oh, we lucked out and they found a place. It was a modern piece of architecture. Looked like a W hotel if they made freestanding condos with a view of the channel and the sea air. And it just couldn't have been better. More modern and just what you're looking for in these kind of accommodations. Not homey, more like an upscale hotel, you know, I mean, because the thing that always got me about the bed and breakfast is like, this is a room where Timmy. I mean, before he killed himself. This is where before the auto rotic masturbation situation over here. This was his bed. Some of his pictures are still up. That's the quilt grandma made in honor. You can sort of see it looks like him. Yeah, it's like a lot of weirdness, you know, Like, I don't want everyone's memories all over this place.
Adam Carolla
Shared bathroom down the hall.
Brian Bishop
Yes. But we got this beautiful piece and all of us stayed there. And we sat in the modern luxury and we. And it was a home run. And then we walked into this place and here's my theory. You know, I have a theory about hot chicks having a slightly skewed version of life through the lens of, you know, ever since they were. And look, I'm not going 18, I'm going 12 and a half. 13. When you're hot, blonde and you're 13, your life's different than the dumpy chick. Let's face it, everyone's nice to you.
Chris Tyson
You live in the club's easy and yeah, yeah.
Adam Carolla
And you're not.
Brian Bishop
Look, I'm not saying you're having sex with your teacher. I'm just saying everyone's a little bit more polite and they sort of cut you some slack and you know, you know, if there's a date to go on or an occasion or something and you're a little bit late, they don't chew you a new asshole. Well, the chick that, who was there, who we ran this Airbnb, I mean who was the owner of the Airbnb. The house was definitely formally a hot blond.
Adam Carolla
Formally.
Brian Bishop
Right. But that carries over into the rest of your life. Right?
Chris Tyson
You learn that early and it's what, what you know.
Brian Bishop
Yes. Or you don't learn a whole bunch of stuff that we should learn or that human beings need to learn. So she was that we showed up at like 4, 4:30 and she was in full effect. Like oh man, I'm still cleaning the place out. Like oh, I didn't think you'd be here this early. It's like eh, the plane landed at noon and we got into a rental car and it's a two hour drive so you shouldn't be that it adds up. But also check in time. Maybe there's traffic, maybe there isn't traffic. Maybe we show up at 3:30, maybe we show up at 6. How about you just lock it off at 3 and we'll be good. But she was Max. Patty, you have any recollection of this gal? Yeah, it was just a mess. She was just running around trying to clean, shooing her dog out of the room. It kept coming back in, she kept
Chris Tyson
shooing it back out.
Brian Bishop
The worst thing ever when you go and stay in someone's house, Dog hair everywhere. Yeah, it was long haired dog, long hair and everywhere. And also I was, was like, I looked online and the pictures that she had featured her child in the picture of the room.
Chris Tyson
That's like when you're looking at places on Redfin or whatever and it's like there's like the person is in the picture.
Brian Bishop
Yeah, super weird.
Adam Carolla
Wait, these people live in this.
Brian Bishop
That's my bedroom. Boy, do they live in it.
Adam Carolla
Okay. Because yeah, that hasn't been my Airbnb experience.
Brian Bishop
The kids out on the patio looks super sad. Seductive pose, boudoir photo. It was. I remember just seeing the picture of the kid. Now here's what I'm saying. In life when we procured the place I just, you know, I trust Matt. Sorry I used to trust Matt and my whole thing is I don't know anything about. There's a picture of the dog as well. I don't know anything about Airbnbs or whatever. So I just like Matt. Just find a place, make it near the track. I'm always in a room. Rush and Matt who hit a home run the last time we went to Goodwood. I certainly trusted to find this place. When we were in the south of France and it was me and Chris and Mike and we're sitting around the only network was BET that was the only English speaking network that was available on the TV. And all we watched was Cribs circa 2000. 2002. So a lot of Cribs was actually
Chris Tyson
dubbed in French though.
Brian Bishop
We just watched it. We sat and watched Cribs closed captioned on a 19 inch TV. We boy yeah it was awesome. By the way. Goes to show you any port in a storm for uneducated folks who've turned their back on reading which is I was every as every bit engross you know it took. It was a little acclimation process about six minutes and then I couldn't have been chomping at the bit harder for that next Cribs episode. And these were. This was lower level Cribs where It's like the 23 year old mix chick who's a producer and sometimes performer is showing her us her loft who shares a wall with Andy Dick slash workplace like all of 2300ft. Like at a certain point this is not making that there needs to be a cutoff for Crib. I need to half the time was
Chris Tyson
us just guessing who that person was.
Brian Bishop
Oh it was great. Danny Bonaduce, welcome to my apartment. Like this is after the divorce. Danny Bonaduce. Like and just because you do that triple cut where he opens the fridge and you go back and forth to it nine times doesn't mean there's anything good happening in that kitchen. But we dutifully watched because what we had no choice and we watched 41 episodes. Yeah, I think we watched the whole thing but. And we went and looked online and I said let's get a Refresher course. I haven't looked in a while. What's our Airbnb looking like when we land in London town and Mike pulled it up and I looked at it and all I went was, huh, she's got a picture of her kid. And I just remember thinking, well, there's an indicator window of negligence. That's about all I need to know. And everything is there's. There's a bizarre picture of her child in one of these and a picture of her dog.
Chris Tyson
We're scrolling through the pictures. I'm going to piggyback on that and say it's like when you're an indicator. Additionally is when you're looking at a hotel like in San Francisco, and you're not sure if it's crappy or not. And the pictures on the website are of the Golden Gate Bridge. Ah, that's the indicator. She got pictures. I'm looking, scrolling through the pictures right now. There's pictures of like her china.
Adam Carolla
Yeah.
Brian Bishop
There's one at a beach.
Chris Tyson
Yeah. It's like this is, this is not a good sign.
Brian Bishop
The one that's an indicator to me is the one. The close up of a bottle of liquor suggesting you might need to have a few. I literally. So she was in a hurry. She was trying to get. Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God, you guys are here already. And it's like, it's 4:30, sweet pea. Like, of course we're here and you had the itinerary. But anyway, I gotta clean the place. I haven't cleaned the place. I'm cleaning the place and there's still dog hair everywhere and everything. And it's so funny because Nate got his Airbnb. Be next. Next we're going to Nate because we're filming over there. We had a big crew and I didn't even set foot into this Airbnb. I was like, I'm crashing at Nate's place. And we started walking through the place and then it was one of those things sort of remind me of when they told me they're going to pull the plug on the KLSX show at the end of February. And producer Angie was telling me about March Madness. And I just went, uh huh, uh huh. All right. Yeah, that's good.
Chris Tyson
It's good listening.
Brian Bishop
Yes. So as she's touring us around the place, I'm going, eh, this is great. This is awesome. It's awesome. This is great. Let's go.
Chris Tyson
You want to see how the shower works?
Brian Bishop
No, I do not. Let's get back in the van. We're going to go see Nate.
Chris Tyson
The stove is a bit tricky, you know, the stovetop.
Brian Bishop
Nate knows what's going on too. And the thing that was funny is. And here's. Here's. Now you tell me how nutty this is. And if this isn't Hot Blonde, formerly Hot Blonde on. She then, as we're leaving, goes, this was Wednesday. Thursday. Wednesday. Wednesday. Yeah, yeah. She then goes, oh, by the way, Friday, I work from home and so I work from here. So I'm used to, you know, this is where my computer is.
Adam Carolla
It's insane.
Brian Bishop
And I'll be out of your way. You guys will be out at the track. You know, you won't know I was here. But I do know need to. If it be okay. She was nice about it. But I do need to come back into my home. I do need to come back for a full day of work in the house that you're paying for.
Adam Carolla
This is an Airbnb nightmare.
Brian Bishop
And there is no here's. Okay, here's my thing in life. I am totally open to the idea of you coming back on one of the days. We've purchased your home at full fare for you to work half a day. That's fine. What do you got for me? Wanna knock off 250 bucks? Like, what is the. Yes. Whatever your concession is. Whatever you want is fine. I'm basically the guy who's running the Falafel Hut and you're telling me, you know, I want a cucumber and tomato salad on the side and some extra hummus and I'm going, okay, we can accommodate you. It'll be another buck for the hummus and $2.50 for the salad. And that's the world I want to live in. I don't want the one where I'm going to do you a favor and give you a bucket of hummus or you're going to do me a favor, not move in, give me a hundred dollars. Yeah. Look, you want to come back and do it? Good. Knock off 100 bucks. I don't think she brought that one up. Again, part of the hot chick. Because only a formerly hot blonde would expect that to be.
Chris Tyson
There are no questions about that.
Brian Bishop
Right. But I deemed her a nut job immediately and needed get the hell out of there.
Adam Carolla
So you just left Chris and Dawson there to fend for themselves?
Brian Bishop
A lot of me, a lot of. A lot of the crew hadn't showed up yet. So I decided that whoever, you know, showed up last was going to have to Deal with it. And I ended up showing up at the other place. Now, I didn't need the master bedroom at the other place.
Chris Tyson
That's nice.
Brian Bishop
But Nate was. Nate was. Nate's a small man, but that was my air.
Adam Carolla
They got the bathtub.
Brian Bishop
I guess there's indicators and. Yeah, you're right. If you see the close up of the booze bottle, the Golden Gate Bridge coffee cup, or the dog or the kid is in the picture, it's an indicator. Indicator. Another indicator. Simply safe. Yes. These guys are an indication of pros who do a job and do it right. You guys can just go ahead and set up the system yourself. The dude met his friends over at Harvard. Oh, man, I just screwed myself. I didn't take the SATs or had a 1.7 GED. And I only took high school math.
Chris Tyson
It's also GPA.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, same thing.
Brian Bishop
SATs.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, it's okay.
Brian Bishop
What did I say? SAT?
Chris Tyson
You said Gary.
Brian Bishop
Oh, I meant SAT. We know what you meant. I didn't take the SATs. And.
Chris Tyson
Yeah, you don't say.
Brian Bishop
You don't say. I said gd. Jesus.
Chris Tyson
You screwed yourself. What happened?
Brian Bishop
I should have went to Harvard, not be admitted to Harvard.
Chris Tyson
Okay. Like Will Hunting.
Adam Carolla
Yeah.
Brian Bishop
Just go to show up. Yep. And then befriend somebody. And then forevermore I could go. So I met Larry at Harvard when
Adam Carolla
I was at Harvard.
Chris Tyson
That's right.
Brian Bishop
I met him at Harvard.
Chris Tyson
How'd you meet your business partner at Harvard?
Brian Bishop
We were at Harvard. Oh, wow.
Chris Tyson
You guys were at Harvard together. They're at Harvard at the same time?
Brian Bishop
Yes, that's where we were at the same time. Obviously, or we wouldn't have met.
Chris Tyson
Did you meet him in a class or.
Brian Bishop
We met at Harvard.
Adam Carolla
Harvard Quad.
Brian Bishop
At Harvard? Yeah. They have quads there. That's where we met if they do. If we're not, we met somewhere else.
Chris Tyson
Bulletproof.
Brian Bishop
Yeah. See, the simply safe guy has his friends from Harvard. Ooh, now we gotta check into him.
Chris Tyson
One of them was in class. The other one was.
Brian Bishop
He was there. His friends got robbed. He wanted to help mount security companies. He shopped around. And then because he was a Harvard guy, just invented his own company. Wireless. No, drilling. Just 14 bucks a month. About $14.99 a month. About a third of what you pay with other companies. Long term, lock in contracts. That's the part he didn't like it. Right now 100 bucks off my hand picked security arsenal. You got the entry and the motion sensor and the glass breaking sensor sensors go to SimpliSafe. Two I's in there. Simply safe. Adam.com get the discount. SimplySafeDeadam.com all right, let's see. Gary, do we have that Bill Maher clip? I love when Bill Maher does this. Bill Maher from a couple of weeks ago. And I think all were isn't. Well, you guys tell me. And maybe this has to be the new era, but it's up there with my Lance Bass. Just tell us your game, we'll move on. Like, don't we want this? And isn't this what frustrates us? I mean, even the whole Hillary Clinton thing, I mean, she just lied her ass off. And all I wanted. I think all we ever wanted was, yeah, it was a mistake. I shouldn't have done that. I went out on a few things. Most of the stuff she said, like, I only had one device or I never used this or I never used that. There's just film of her saying it. Now the FBI director says, no, something else happened. Don't we just want her to go, look, I screwed up. It's stupid. Look dumb, not gonna happen again.
Adam Carolla
Be accountable.
Brian Bishop
Yeah, whatever. And the thing I love about Bill Maher is Bill Maher is very strong politically on many topics such as climate change and of that nature. But when it comes to Islamic terror, he's not with his party, he's not with his group. He's not with that group. He's with the group that is right about Islamic terror. But the whole idea is you can't agree with anyone outside of your group, which is insane. If they're right, then go ahead and agree with them and then go back to your group.
Chris Tyson
It's the worst thing about politics is that you must be dogmatically attached to whatever the group, the group think is you. That has to be your party line, right?
Brian Bishop
And it also makes me think that Bill Maher's telling the truth about whatever he believes that's within his group's mindset. See what I'm saying? I don't know what other people on the right or on the left are thinking because they think 100% that way. They never jump outside of their group. Now, I tend to believe that Bill, like my. When you fake your orgasm, hold one back every 10 to 13. So I'll believe you. I mean, if you're 100% all the time, that this is just it. Now I think you're lying.
Chris Tyson
You should do this, do it in sports. Like, if I, you know, I'm a USC fan, if I'm like, this guy for ucla. He's a pretty good player. I take him on my team. Then it's not like, oh, every time I have an opinion about a USC player, it's not like I'm a homer.
Adam Carolla
Credibility.
Chris Tyson
Yeah, I'm not a homer and I'm only. But it's like, no, I recognize this guy's a good player, and, you know, I'd like him on my team. But then my opinion on my own guys becomes much more valid.
Brian Bishop
Also, it makes me wonder, like, who you're really looking out for. Like, there's that Kate's Law thing where Kate Steinle, I think her name is Steinle, was basically shot by the illegal who was brought back and forth five times and had a bunch of felons and grabbed a gun and just gunned down. And her family's trying to pass this law that says, look, we're not deporting people for selling oranges on the side of the street. The law is if you're a felon and there's a violent crime and you've been back and forth a bunch of times, we're getting you out of this country. We can't have people that are violent felons coming back and forth five times. And I don't know if it's passed or not, but the Democrats are like, nah, we're not down with this. And it's like, now, where are you at now? Like, do you really. Who are you protecting? What do you really believe? Is there a human being that, you know, know that doesn't have a dog in the fight where you go, look, if somebody's a violent, convicted felon who's undocumented and is coming to this country illegally and we catch him, we're allowed to deport them. Who says no to that? That's pretty reasonable, right, Gary? You can look into that a little bit. Now, we know you're lying. I mean, because we know you all agree with that. But you're worried about a voting constituency. Here's Bill Maher. And I love it when Bill Maher does this. And he's yelling at. He'll be yelling at, Is it Paul? Oh, sorry, Paul Beijing. Or something like that. Anyway, he's a professor at the University of Georgia Law School. This is why I don't want my kids to go to college. But here we go.
Chris Tyson
Don't worry.
Brian Bishop
I mean, I hear a lot of talk today about xenophobia and is it really phobia if you have something to be afraid of? 52% of British Muslims think being gay should Be illegal. Yeah, it's the kind of thing that would be. What percentage of American Republicans believe that? Can we deport them? Not just American Republicans. I love the clap. I love the sanctimonious blowhardy clap. Oh, yeah, no, that's. That's right. Yeah.
Chris Tyson
Yeah, that's Paul Bagala.
Brian Bishop
We should. We should deport. Yes.
Chris Tyson
He's pretty.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, that's what he meant.
Brian Bishop
Okay.
Adam Carolla
Many.
Brian Bishop
Not many. They think it should be illegal.
Chris Tyson
Sure.
Brian Bishop
Let's go check it. What? Stop it. Stop it. Just stop it. It was illegal until a few years ago. There certainly is. It was illegal until. I love when they fall back on that. You know, it's like.
Adam Carolla
Good point.
Brian Bishop
Yeah, okay, you're right. Everyone's exactly like extremist Muslims. I mean, your professor is. What is your plan to solve this problem? Just lump everyone in with everyone else?
Chris Tyson
Yeah, you're slashing the tires of the vehicles in this conversation. Well, we can't move forward, forward now, right? We must stop and address the insanity that just came out of your mouth.
Brian Bishop
The scariest part is that it draws applause from the audience. Oh, no. Yeah. Hey, you're right. That's true. That's true. That is so true. Yes. Blowhard. But anyway, God bless Bill Maher. Cause he tells him to shut up.
Adam Carolla
Quick behind the scenes question. Do you think the applause sign went off for that?
Brian Bishop
I don't think they fire that thing
Chris Tyson
during the meat the of the show.
Brian Bishop
I can't imagine they would. And I'll tell you why. I'll tell you why. Because somebody would shoot it with their iPhone and it would go viral. I don't believe there is one at all. And if probably isn't fired up at the start of the show. No, that's the saddest part. I wish there was a plus sign that some idiot just leaned on. Arianna Huffington was back there just leaning on something. But no, no, no, no, no. All right. I just wanted to play that and then like I said. So here's the deal. I disagree with Bill Maher about most things politically, but I respect the person for living on planet earth and living in an environment that has gravity and understanding where the problem is and where the problem is. And even though the guy. Even though the guy's in his camp politically, he's not going to let him get him spout out stuff. That's insane. And again, the historical was still a couple of years. Yeah, thanks. Okay, but where are we now? I don't know. I don't know. In a weird way, you know there's evolution, there's progression. You know, we're not who we were in the 60s or 50s or 1860s or 2001. We're not. We're evolving. I mean, it's so. It's insane to sit around and, you know, it's like this. Ford says, hey, the 2000, 2016 or 2017 Ford Explorer is going to be one of our safest vehicles ever. It's got standard airbags and side impact collision control and this anti lock this and that. And someone goes, yeah, but what about the 50s? What about all those people died on the road in your vehicle in the 50s? And it's like, we didn't invent the airbag. We hadn't evolved.
Adam Carolla
There are no crumples.
Brian Bishop
We didn't know. Yeah, all you had was lap belts. Some of your cars didn't have shoulder harnesses, People just going forward in a steering wheel. Thousands of people died in your vehicles. Like, yeah, sorry.
Chris Tyson
Okay.
Brian Bishop
And now we're.
Chris Tyson
That is a fact.
Brian Bishop
Yeah. Well, what if. And then you go, well, the 2017, which is what I'm here to talk about, is one of the savings. Yeah. What about if truckasaurus gets it in its jaws and shoots fire at it? I suppose that is all right. So. By the way, by the way, I know somebody who read an article about a guy dying in a Ford Explorer. So don't tell me in 2016 it's not possible or doesn't happen. It's like, all right, that's an insane conversation to have. Right. But isn't that the one we just have all the time about everything?
Chris Tyson
Sadly, yes.
Brian Bishop
Yes. Meanwhile, there's another car company that's in the Middle east that's putting out Ford Pintos that explode every time a gay couple climbs into it. And we don't want to talk about that because we're just as bad.
Adam Carolla
Same thing.
Brian Bishop
Agreed. There's more room for safety, and I'll bet you that the 2022 Ford Explorer will be safer than the 2017. But for now, this is what we got, and I think it's pretty darn good. And yes, mistakes were made in the 50s and we can sit and highlight those all day long, or we can admit that we weren't as evolved as we are now. And some of it's technology, some of it's mindset, some of it's just plain old progression. And here we are.
Chris Tyson
Either way, this is what it is. This is the 2017, or this is the conversation we're having, either way.
Adam Carolla
So would you mind joining me in the present and have this conversation join
Brian Bishop
me in the present. And if whatever's going on in the present is a 1972 Pinto that's bursting into flames that some other countries put voting out, let's focus on that. And yes, we could make ours marginally safer, but we can make these 50 times safer. So let's do that. But instead of pointing out examples where our car didn't work. Okay. All right. Speaking of cars. Ooh, good analogy though with the cars. True car baby. Mmm, let's see. You can choose from over 500,000 pre owned vehicles. Probably Ford Explorer in there too. I would guess nationwide. So looking to buy new, looking to buy used. Get up front pricing. You just lock it in. You go with the TrueCar Certified Dealer. Enjoy it. It's quick, it's easy. The buying experience is so much better. Speaking of the old days, man, walking to that car lot, you had to bring your dad with you. I had to bring someone else's dad. The good news is I never walked onto a car lot to was 32. I didn't have that first car thing. I was 800 bucks. In the recycler TrueCar baby, the users save an average of 3279 bucks. Buy new or use. Visit them online truecar.com, truecar.com or they got the app. TrueCar baby. Use the app. All right. You will tell me when Danny and company Craig Moss shows up. I will hop on the phones. Jonathan, 33, Connecticut.
Caller Jonathan
Hey, Adam, how you doing?
Brian Bishop
They're here. Okay. Oh, yeah. You?
Caller Jonathan
Yeah. How you doing?
Brian Bishop
I was doing good. I just had a bad sip of coffee, that's all.
Chris Tyson
Okay. The implication.
Caller Jonathan
So here's my question now is the doctor has given me the okay to drive and we spoke a while back and. And I got that.
Brian Bishop
The Range Rover Spy, by the way, worst carpool on phone call ever. Good news, I've been cleared either by law enforcement, community or team of doctors. So I'll see you about 8am Toots on the horn, no more snicker Swim. That's right.
Caller Jonathan
Cleared by the doctors.
Brian Bishop
Okay. You got in a bad car accident in a van or something. Or a chair. Cherokee.
Caller Jonathan
No, it was Murano.
Brian Bishop
Oh yeah.
Caller Jonathan
When I got rear ended out there in Los Angeles.
Brian Bishop
There.
Caller Jonathan
But before that I was involved in that helicopter.
Brian Bishop
Hold on a second. Worst name for a car. The Nissan Murano or the to sell in North America or the Daihatsu Sharp.
Adam Carolla
They're both pretty bad.
Chris Tyson
The charade is worse because at least Murano is Murray Mu.
Brian Bishop
Yeah, yeah.
Chris Tyson
But it doesn't play well over audio.
Brian Bishop
You know what I mean?
Adam Carolla
Radio, ad, TV ad.
Brian Bishop
Yeah, yeah.
Adam Carolla
Did I tell you, when we were in Cabo, the car we rented was a Dodge attitude?
Brian Bishop
Oh, really?
Adam Carolla
I'm sorry. I forgot that. Fun fact.
Brian Bishop
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
Did you know they had those.
Chris Tyson
You'll see models of cars that you didn't know exactly exist in car rental places in other countries.
Brian Bishop
Also, Dodge makes their cars for people who aren't old enough to legally drive their toy cars. Essentially, the color palette, the names, everything about them is sort of a joke. It's like the vacuum had to be filled. Like when somebody was like, hey, Pontiac's out of the game. Who's going to build piles of crap for dumb people to buy? Dodge stepped up to the plate. I'll do it. Mercedes and Lexus are like, no, thanks, but Dodge, we'll fill that boy. No problems, you guys.
Chris Tyson
Yeah.
Brian Bishop
All right, look, there are a lot of people that like vodka that tastes like cotton candy. Now who's gonna build my car? Dodge stepped up the door. Dodge, like, well, Pontiac handles. No, they're out of the game. All right, and we'll step up.
Chris Tyson
I guess the mantle falls to us.
Brian Bishop
Hey, Pontiac, do you have a bunch of those fake scoops left over we could strap to the side of the car? Because the people that drink the cotton candy flavored vodka seem to like those. What are you doing with those? All right, get our caller back. Sorry, Jonathan. Yeah. All right, so we're going charade for me.
Chris Tyson
I think that sounds worse.
Adam Carolla
Yeah.
Brian Bishop
Okay. Jonathan. Oh, sorry. Any allowance for the fact that one came out in 92 and the other one came out in 2014? You know what I mean? Like, come on, there's computers now. I mean, this is a global economy now. Come on now. Okay. Jonathan.
Caller Jonathan
Yes.
Brian Bishop
Helicopter accident.
Caller Jonathan
Yeah, the helicopter accident in Afghanistan. That's what really destroyed the hits first and then the rear ending.
Brian Bishop
Well, that's what you get for trying to beat traffic.
Caller Jonathan
It was an Uber driver.
Brian Bishop
What were you doing in Afghanistan in the helicopter again?
Caller Jonathan
I was a helicopter crewman for a working private contract. Contracting. And then for America. Yes, for the United States.
Brian Bishop
Okay, good. So that was bad. But you survived?
Caller Jonathan
I survived, yeah.
Brian Bishop
How many people were on the helicopter when it went down?
Caller Jonathan
There was. There was five of us and two of us survived.
Brian Bishop
Oh, Jesus.
Caller Jonathan
Wow.
Brian Bishop
Yeah. Gotta tell us the story.
Caller Jonathan
Okay. We were. We were. We were essentially. Okay. What we were doing, we were sending ammo. We were dumping ammo. Alta ammo to some special forces. And the we got hit by an rpg, hit the tail rotor and we just went down.
Brian Bishop
How high were you when you were hit?
Caller Jonathan
Really? Not that high. We're probably maybe say about 70ft above the ground.
Brian Bishop
Mm. And he started spinning around and just had a super hard landing.
Caller Jonathan
Just super hard landing. Yeah.
Brian Bishop
And your injuries were what my injuries were?
Caller Jonathan
I shattered my both femurs, shattered my pelvis and they had to fuse my lower back.
Brian Bishop
And the three folks that didn't make it, were they up front in the cockpit or in the same area?
Caller Jonathan
They were up front in the cockpit. And what happened was, is the tail rotors spun or not the tail rotors, but the rotor blade spun and basically it will not basically decapitated their heads.
Brian Bishop
That had to be a bad day. I mean, you were conscious, you witnessed that.
Caller Jonathan
I did not witness that. I remember passing out when I hit the ground.
Brian Bishop
Ground. Were you guys. Well, not that you were worried because you're passed out, but then what about the folks that. Whoever shot you with the rpg, what about the ged? Sorry, why were you worried about those people? Now approach, you know, sort of Black Hawk down style
Caller Jonathan
a little bit. But there was, there was plenty of military presence in the area that, that we were pretty, we were safe.
Brian Bishop
Uh huh boy. So did you know the three guys well?
Caller Jonathan
Yeah, I did. I mean I was with them. I did. Let's see, I did three tours with them, 120 days at a time. Yeah, I feel like a madman.
Brian Bishop
The guy from Bill Maher said that could have been a Catholic or Christian insurgent. Just as easily. Just as easily.
Chris Tyson
What about us?
Brian Bishop
What about us? Yeah. We cannot judge.
Caller Jonathan
Can't judge.
Vinny Tortorich
Wow.
Caller Jonathan
So all right, my question is, is that right now I have a Range Rover Sport and it's just too high for me to get in and out of in the wheelchair. And I'm wondering, any suggestions on a, on a vehicle A, that's safe and B, that's going to be easy to get in and out of. You know, taking apart the wheelchair and slinging them in and stuff like that.
Brian Bishop
You know, the good, you know, good news and bad news with the confined to a wheelchair. Wheelchair and driving, your upper body will be in fantastic shape well into your 80s because every single day you're going to have to do essentially a dip where you lift yourself up, swing yourself over, grab this contraption, sling it over your shoulder. Like you can't go a day without doing the equivalent of 25 push ups.
Chris Tyson
Well, while Chris and I were in Kauai, there was a guy at the Hotel who had a wife and a young child, probably like one and a half or two. He was in a wheelchair and he was chasing after the kid and doing all the things dads do and getting out of the pool, in and out of the pool, doing the, you say the dip. Basically in and out of the pool was super impressive. The guy was well defined. Up top.
Brian Bishop
Yeah. No, no choice. Sort of like, you know, living on the ninth floor with no elevator like every single day.
Adam Carolla
Those cabs.
Brian Bishop
Yeah. So a car now you want, but you need space for the wheelchair and everything, right?
Caller Jonathan
Yes.
Brian Bishop
Yeah.
Chris Tyson
The Range Rover sports a nice car. You're not looking to downgrade to like a van or something.
Brian Bishop
How about the Murano?
Caller Jonathan
Yeah, let's go with that.
Adam Carolla
Would you consider a Dodge attitude?
Caller Jonathan
Nope, nope, nope. I was considering maybe, I mean like something like, you know, Mercedes has those, you know, what's it like a GLA or something like that.
Brian Bishop
Here's what I'm gonna say. There were times in this nation's history where if somebody said, I want to buy a GM product or I want to buy an Audi, I tell people all the time, you know, when they talk about, well, how are you going to overcome this? Or how are you going to bad publicity or hey, you've been typecast because you're a sitcom dad. Yeah. Tell that to Bryan Cranston.
Chris Tyson
It worked out all right.
Brian Bishop
If you're good, you overcome all that. Johnny Depp's 21 Jump Street. Now it's Johnny Depp. So Audi was a joke. And by the late 80s, early 90s, if someone said, I want to buy an Audi 5000, I'd be like, I'll kill you if you go to Audi. A deal. Pile of crap. Nope, now they're Audi, now they're out. But what did they do? It wasn't an awareness campaign. They started building a kick ass product. And everybody, and it's my, this is my argument for the free market. I think we all win because now you can buy Cadillac, you can buy Ford, you can buy Chevy, everything works, everything's good. Because Audi is out there stomping ass. And thus if Ford wants to stay in business, business, I would have told people when I was coming up, don't buy an American car, don't do it. Or don't get an Audi or don't get this company. You got to get a Japanese something. Everything is 95%. It's basically, it's a Pixar movie on Rotten Tomatoes. It's all good. And Maybe the Audi's 100%, but everything else is 96%. So just go get whatever you want now. There you go. All right, Danny Trejo is coming in here. Craig Moss, the director's coming in here. Here. They're doing a social media campaign. They're trying to raise some money. They're making a movie. We'll talk tacos first. Alberto. Beef jerky. All natural
Chris Tyson
travel food.
Brian Bishop
Yeah. Vinny Tortorich will tell you, when you travel, take some jerky. You want to talk about not taking up space, but taking up plenty of space in your tummy? Yeah, Alberto, I do beef jerk jerky. Go get it and get it wherever. I honestly would say don't buy one pack, buy five. Throw one in your car. Throw one in your backpack. Just ham around. Satiates you. Three delicious flavors. Original teriyaki pepper. I like the teriyaki. That's me. Anyway, protein packed, all there. Listen to that little voice in your stomach and give it a little. Alberto. Beef jerky. And I said get a few packs and seriously spread them around. Seriously spread them around. All right, we'll take a quick break. Bring Danny in next in the spirit of Murrow, Cronkite, Brokaw, here's another great moment in local News. More than 7,000 people showed up for the ribbon cutting of the ark encounter. At 510ft long and seven stories high, the wooden boat is loaded with exhibits of, you guessed it, two of God's creatures, including dinosaurs, which is puzzling to me. Replicas of dinos. I just. I don't understand. How do you do that. Right? I don't understand that part. Okay, that's a great moment in local news. Now back to the Adam Corolla show. Yeah. Welcome back. Danny Trejo is here. Craig Moss is here. Craig's the director. Danny's Danny. They're making a movie. They're doing a little crowdfunding. Social Security is the name of it. And tell me if I got these numbers right. You can go to Indiegogo and dash Social Security and look it up, right? Yeah. Now, what's our goal and how far in are we and where are we at? We. The goal is 225,000. And we just started. We just went live and I think we're like at 3,000 or close to 3,000 or something. And you can make a movie for that price or you can make this movie for that price. No, it'll. It'll cover some of it. So we're looking to get also some other people put some money into the film as well. But this will cover, you know, portion that won't be covered of the film. And Danny's playing himself. Yeah.
Gina Grad
Stretch.
Brian Bishop
Good luck. I loved him in Conair. I love that movie.
Gina Grad
Johnny 23.
Brian Bishop
Yeah, yeah. Forgot about that, man.
Gina Grad
Yeah. You would not believe how many times I've heard. Don't leave me like this, Holmes.
Chris Tyson
That's right. That's an intense scene, man.
Brian Bishop
Danny's also got himself a taco. I think I saw it on, I don't know, TMZ or something, but I thought, this looks fantastic. Where, where is it?
Gina Grad
It's right on La Brea between Pico and Olympic.
Brian Bishop
Allen Hales places. And the lobster barrel. And what do you impress us with some. Some taco toss? You know what?
Gina Grad
Well, we don't have no lobster tacos. We're getting some.
Brian Bishop
What do you do? You do. I think you do like a vegan taco. You do everything taco.
Vinny Tortorich
What?
Gina Grad
It's like, inevitably when you're dealing with people in the industry, five or six of you want to go out to dinner. Somebody doesn't eat meat, somebody's vegetarian. So we just did it all. We got everything going there and it makes it real simple. I've had people come up. This is the first time me and my husband can go to dinner together because you can have vegan, you can have gluten free. You take the kids and we have a little place for the kids to play.
Brian Bishop
Well, what's the crowd pleaser?
Gina Grad
Oh, God. We've got a brisket taco that's to die.
Brian Bishop
I was gonna say the brisket. I gotta tell you, I don't wanna drop any Spanish surnames on you or first names, but Lucy's El Adobe with little place. Been there a million years. Across from the studios. I think it's Melrose or Santa Monica. I can't remember Melrose. I think they would do a barbecued brisket taco. That was. I don't know why, phenomenal. The idea that the beef in there was barbecued and somehow it. But yeah, the brisket is the best.
Gina Grad
You know what? Come down. It's on me. It's like unbelievable. It's like the brisket is unbelievable.
Brian Bishop
But you have a fried chicken taco, right?
Gina Grad
Yeah, yeah, we have. We also have a wrap. A wrap. God, I hate to say that anything that's wrapped is a burrito.
Chris Tyson
Yeah, it is.
Brian Bishop
Yeah, I know. We did with your burrito, which you did with our donut. You straightened it out, called it a churro. How's it feel? That's right. Yeah. We're even now. We've been named it a California rat. Yeah, we're named after state we took from you. Nice.
Gina Grad
That is so awesome.
Brian Bishop
Absolutely. Any other one of our pastries you want to shape? Huh? Because we got other things we can do.
Gina Grad
God. Oh, my God.
Brian Bishop
Cut to a bridge.
Chris Tyson
You want the. You want the burrito back, then it's over. The donut.
Brian Bishop
That's right. Yeah. We'll do it like a prisoner exchange program.
Vinny Tortorich
Yeah.
Gina Grad
That's beautiful.
Brian Bishop
Yeah, I sort of feel that way with countries like, you know, like, hey, Canada, you know, we like Jonah Hill. Or, no, wait, who's Seth Ro? We like Seth Rogen. We're not in love with the Biebs or Alan Thicke, so we'd like to send them back, but who do you got? Is there anyone over there that's annoying you that was born in Arkansas? We'll take them up a trade. So, Danny, you. You grew up. You grew up out in Southern California, right?
Gina Grad
Yeah, yeah, I grew up in Pacoimo.
Brian Bishop
Oh, boy. Yeah. I mean. Oh, nice.
Gina Grad
No, he was.
Brian Bishop
No, Pacoima's been. Out of all the places in the valley that are now Mexico, Pacoima has been Mexico for the longest, right?
Gina Grad
Absolutely, man. We have a very strong Hispanic.
Brian Bishop
Yeah. A lot of murals. A lot of murals with Cesar Chavez holding a horn of any Trejo. Oh, there's got to be Danny Trejo. Yeah, there's. Right, right.
Gina Grad
We love. It's like, you know, San Fernando Valley is like, I. I love it. It's like a great place to live. You have everything in it. And so you.
Brian Bishop
Did you go to, like, Poly High or Santa?
Gina Grad
I went to North Hollywood, San Fernando, Monroe, and Van Nuys. I. I didn't play well. I didn't play well with others. I did all that in the 10th grade.
Brian Bishop
Wow. Going to a lot of high schools is like, when someone. When you go, what do you do for a living? Well, I'm a florist, but I'm also a janitor, but I also clean pools. Like, I get. It's not going that well. It's not going well. Yeah. Going to a lot of high school, I went to North Hollywood High. I went there, and then I went to the street.
Gina Grad
The Parfait Leonard's used to be right across the street, right across Magnolia.
Brian Bishop
Well, now there's the Taco Bell.
Gina Grad
Right now.
Brian Bishop
My application was rejected in 1979. True story. They make authentic Mexican food there, Danny. But then I did. I played for the Sun Valley Falcons, So I ended up at. I Ended up at Poly High. That was our home field was Poly High. And then we'd have to through playing Pop Warner football. You'd have to go play San Fernando. You always play at the high school when you play Pop Warner football. There's no Pop Warner football fields, just the high school. So you have popped. You have. By the way, they're parrots. You have the North Hollywood Huskies. Yeah, San Fernando Tigers.
Gina Grad
Yeah, I know.
Brian Bishop
And who what was your other high school or your Monroe. Monroe. Well there's a better, slightly better high school. Yeah, I think they were the Vikings.
Gina Grad
Yeah, I was the only Mexican in Monroe.
Brian Bishop
Oh yeah?
Paul Scheer
Yeah.
Brian Bishop
I mean so you. I think I played my last high school game at Monroe. In there are sort of Van Nuysy but kind of Encino Y kind of like little nicer part of Van Nuys. And was that it for. Well what were you doing? Well, fighting.
Gina Grad
Yeah, mostly, you know, different neighborhoods and stuff and you show up in the neighborhood from, from. I went to, I went back to Poly and then I went to prison.
Brian Bishop
Uh huh.
Gina Grad
So graduated the pipeline.
Brian Bishop
Yeah, yeah. See the whole thing is. You kids. You think the Huffington Post thinks they invented the school to prison pipel? No man, Danny was digging that thing in the 60s. He laid the first. He cut the ribbon and laid the first mile of pipe back in the mid-60s. Yeah. Hell yeah. Yeah. That pipeline's been around for a while.
Gina Grad
I always say that the first part of my life was a character study and the second part I'm playing all them characters.
Brian Bishop
So what led you to get in all these fights and get in all this trouble? Because especially back then it took a little work to get kicked out of high school.
Gina Grad
Well, it was just, you know, I didn't. I get along with others. I didn't understand respect. And if you looked at me too long, you were disrespecting me. And it was, it's always like just like, you know, what are you looking at? You know, and you say things like, you know, if you're looking for your mom, she's back there. That's not like Right.
Brian Bishop
Was your dad around?
Gina Grad
Yeah, yeah, my dad was around. My dad was busy working. He was a hard worker. My dad did labor, you know, he was, he hadn't time. He didn't have time for, you know, school stuff. My mom came to school and my mom been to every school I was at.
Brian Bishop
That's nice. Yeah, that's weird. Hey mom, Open house Wednesday. Where pray tell, shall it be? Because there are 22 schools in the San Fernando Valley. Danny, you just talked by everyone. Yes, Daniel. Maybe I should swing by all of them. How many bushels of apples do I
Gina Grad
need for all the teachers knew every vice principal in all lives.
Brian Bishop
Of course, she was living in their office, being called in from work all the time. Jesus. And this was like in. So you graduated from P.A. oh, no, Monroe.
Gina Grad
Monroe. No. I got my high school diploma in San Quentin.
Brian Bishop
Oh, that's where they were hiding it.
Gina Grad
Looked all over for it.
Brian Bishop
They should have put it in a place of business. They could have just started. Started working. That's the pipeline for you.
Gina Grad
And it's so funny, is like every teacher that I ever dealt with said, if you don't get a high school diploma, you'll never amount to any of this. Later, lady. I didn't listen. You know that I. When I got to San Quentin, I. All my friends said, get in the dry cleaning, man. It's like the best. And. And you get to stay at San Quentin. So I put my ducat in first for the dry cleaning. It came back. This trade requires a high school. It was like I could hear Mrs. Finley saying, we told you, get into high school.
Brian Bishop
I like the extra level, which is even in the joint, you're going to need a diploma.
Gina Grad
Absolutely.
Brian Bishop
Wow. So what did you get in. So you went to San. You were what, 18 at San Quentin?
Gina Grad
19. Yeah.
Brian Bishop
What was the crime?
Gina Grad
I sold 4 ounces of sugar to a federal agent.
Brian Bishop
Oh.
Gina Grad
Wasn't even in lieu of narcotics. Now they were very, very angry.
Brian Bishop
Well, did you have a rich history of in and out of court, things like that?
Gina Grad
I went to. But no, but it was. They were just mad if it wouldn't. If I would, you know, if I would have gave the money back, I think. I think maybe they would have been a little lenient.
Brian Bishop
How much money did you get?
Gina Grad
About 4,000. Thousand.
Brian Bishop
And they never got. That's a lot of money. They never got it back?
Gina Grad
No.
Brian Bishop
So it was just a.
Gina Grad
Wait, wait, no. Yeah, I gave it back. Could they tax me on that?
Brian Bishop
I think it's a write off. If you use it as part of the story, the new crowdfunded movie.
Chris Tyson
If it's in Social Security, then you can totally write.
Brian Bishop
Yes. So you go, so how long in San Quentin?
Gina Grad
Oh, God. In and out. I did about 19, 20 months in San Quentin and then went to Folsom. And then from Folsom, we had a. A disagreement and we went to solid dead.
Brian Bishop
Oh, what is. Jeez. Even, by the way, Even. You know, it goes from vice principals to wardens. Like you really couldn't get along with people. Eventually, it's like, well, we're looking for alternative planets, Danny, to move to. We've shopped around. We're looking at Mars.
Chris Tyson
He treated president like he high school
Brian Bishop
just did the rotation.
Gina Grad
I had an ashtray from Warden Fitzharris's office in, in my cell. And it was funny. It was a glass astray. And of course, you're not allowed glass. I had glass.
Brian Bishop
This glass ash.
Gina Grad
It was a possession. And all the guards that used to come in would see it, and they would just laugh because they knew where it came from. So Warden Fitzharris, when I left, he was, was saying, where'd my ashtray trail?
Brian Bishop
Well, how does one get the warden's ashtray?
Gina Grad
You buy anything, really? Somebody had an ashray. Give me it.
Brian Bishop
You should have bought a diploma.
Gina Grad
Yeah, I had a diploma. I told you.
Brian Bishop
Oh, but. Oh, yeah, you got it. But not early enough on. Well, I got it in San Quentin. Yeah. For the dry cleaning gig. What other lucrative trade did you move on to?
Gina Grad
We did, you know, we just, I, I, I did a little bit of everything, really, but kind of basically the best thing was running like a protection ring that was the most lucrative and,
Brian Bishop
and, you know, in that ring, a diploma to only slow you down.
Gina Grad
Yeah.
Brian Bishop
Now, how does the protection ring work?
Gina Grad
Just, you know, young, young people come into prison and you just tell them, hey, you know, you're not going to do it well here, right? And it's so funny. I love all the, all the movie stars that, that end up getting busted, right? And they talk about what they did. They paid. And I know you paid.
Brian Bishop
You got to pay.
Gina Grad
You have to. You have to. If you're a celebrity and you go to prison, you will be paying somebody. So, you know, you, all, you, all you little kids thinking you're tough. Remember that?
Brian Bishop
So.
Gina Grad
And all them rappers that have gone now, they paid.
Brian Bishop
What is the, what is the form of payment?
Paul Scheer
Money.
Gina Grad
You can send money.
Adam Carolla
Canteen.
Gina Grad
Canteen. Or you can wash clothes or, or you can change your name to Maria.
Brian Bishop
So you got to get in there. Now, is everyone completely segregated at this point?
Gina Grad
You kind of segregate yourself, right? You know, you have to segregate yourself. And, and
Brian Bishop
so you're hanging.
Gina Grad
Forgive you. If you're a mixed race, you're hanging
Brian Bishop
out with the Irish. Irish dudes, right?
Chris Tyson
I know what you're talking about.
Brian Bishop
So, so you got the black dudes over here, you got the Hispanic dudes over there. There's one Jewish guy, he's circling the Wagons constantly. Like, like Mel Brooks, Blazing Saddles.
Gina Grad
I hate to say this, and it's not right, but usually the, A lot of the Jewish guys, they run like the, like the poker games or the.
Brian Bishop
Sure.
Gina Grad
Or the, the tickets for football, you
Brian Bishop
know, because so what? So, so protection. So you see the new guys, you know, the new guys come in and you go, look, you got to sign up for this, basically. Otherwise, I'm trying to figure out whether
Gina Grad
it is protection or extortion.
Vinny Tortorich
It's.
Gina Grad
It's a thin line there.
Brian Bishop
Yeah, yeah.
Gina Grad
You know, but. But it's like, it help. I mean, I. I had people, even after they got out of prison, you know, sending me letters and sending me money and stuff, you know, so what, what do you.
Brian Bishop
If to establish yourself as sort of an enforcer or a protector, do you have to get out there and set an example?
Gina Grad
Yeah. You know, prison is probably the only place in the world where you have one of two choices. You're either going to be a predator or prey. It's up to you to decide.
Brian Bishop
Every morning, in a weird sort of animalistic, base, human, sort of bottom line way, is prison the most realistic human experience on the planet? Because now we have. You can buy your way. You can get your kids riding around with a helmet in the car, the air conditioning's blowing in their face. You know, there's five airbags around them. You know that prison is sort of human at its most human form in a weird way. Right?
Gina Grad
Yeah, that's a good analogy.
Brian Bishop
And did you take that out of prison? And so sort of experience.
Gina Grad
When I left prison, I Left prison in 1969. August 23rd. August in Cinco de Mayo, 1965. Me, Ray Pacheco and Henry Quijada, they both passed away. They were shot in robberies. But we were. It was alleged that we incited a prison riot and three gas chamber offenses were committed. So basically we might have went to the gas chamber. So that's kind of where I turned my life around. I said, okay, this is stupid.
Brian Bishop
So there's a prison riot.
Gina Grad
People were killed, People were injured. Bad.
Brian Bishop
Well, we had the death penalty back then.
Gina Grad
Well, what happened was that a rock was thrown and Lt. Givens was hit in the head. Now, drawing blood on an officer is a gas. Gas chamber offense.
Brian Bishop
Really. Oh, back then, for sure. Right.
Gina Grad
And it was alleged that I did it. And I, I In. In his report, Lt. Given said one of the three individuals. So, you know, basically.
Brian Bishop
Right.
Gina Grad
D.J. reject. None. Three people can't throw one rock. So D.J.
Brian Bishop
reject and Craig, tell us about your stretch in the joint. It was tough. But, you know, Craig, thank God for Danny. He that close to calling me Maria. Yeah, you ain't going to last long with those frames.
Gina Grad
And then he said, I'm the director of Mo Cool. Let's put me in a movie. That's right.
Brian Bishop
That's how it all started.
Gina Grad
But we did three. We did three movies together. We did Badass one two, Badass on the Bayou with Danny Glover, and that was awesome.
Brian Bishop
So you've worked with. Are there guys you didn't see eye to eye with who you had to work with? Danny, There's.
Gina Grad
There's been a couple of people that I pulled aside and told, look, I'll beat you to death. We'll show up.
Adam Carolla
I like that.
Gina Grad
I don't know, you think you're Hollywood or what, but. But, you know, basically everybody kind of comes around. Nobody really, really is bad with me, you know?
Brian Bishop
Well, I feel. I feel like when people hire you, they know exactly what they're getting.
Gina Grad
Yeah. But you know what? But Eddie Bunker. Eddie Bunker told me something. Eddie Bunk was a famous writer. Right. He passed away. But. But that's who got me into the business in 1985.
Chris Tyson
Mr. Blue and Pun.
Gina Grad
Right, right. Mr. Blue.
Brian Bishop
That was Mr. Blue.
Gina Grad
Yes.
Chris Tyson
And he was an actual. He had served time.
Gina Grad
Oh, yeah, yeah. Well, we had actually done time together. That's how I met him. I met him on the. On the set of Runaway Train with John Voighton. Eric Roberts.
Brian Bishop
Love that movie. And wildly underrated.
Gina Grad
Oh, yeah. And that was one of their best.
Brian Bishop
That was John. First off, you've never liked Eric Roberts. Well, now you will in this movie. Number two, Jon Voight plays a badass, which shows you what a great actor he is. And the cinematography was amazing because you've never seen a train go through virgin snow where you don't see the track. So it just looks like the train's just going on its own through a white quilt of snow. It's a really good movie.
Gina Grad
Actually, A character in this movie. Movie was a unbelievable part of this movie.
Brian Bishop
So how you got involved with that. I'm trying to think what year run away.
Gina Grad
85. 1985.
Brian Bishop
So. So tell us. So finish your story.
Gina Grad
Well, I. I got. I. Eddie offered me a job to train Eric Roberts how to box for the movie Runaway Train.
Brian Bishop
Ah.
Gina Grad
Because I used to box.
Brian Bishop
Right.
Gina Grad
Eddie saw me win the lightweight in the welterweight title up in San Quentin in prison. And he asked me, are you still boxing? I said, I'm training, you know, because they were paying us 50 bucks for acting like convicts in. In Runaway Training. And he said, are you still boxing? I said, I'm training. He says, well, we need somebody to train one of the actors how to box. And I said, what's it pay? And he says, 320 a day.
Brian Bishop
Wow.
Gina Grad
And I said, well, how bad you want this guy beat up? How many days you want me to beat him up? I could have done 320 a day. It would take five minutes.
Vinny Tortorich
You didn't.
Gina Grad
And you, you got to be careful. The actor's high strung. He might sock you, you know. So I said, eddie, I've been beat up for free. You can give this kid a stick for 320 bucks, right? I started boxing with Eric Roberts on the movie Runaway Train. The director, Andre Kojalowski, saw me and he saw that Eric and I got along. And I'll never forget forget, Andre Kodzalowski was a Russian aristocrat, very aristocratic. When he talked, he did this. He's what? You be in movie.
Brian Bishop
You met a lot of those guys at Poly in San Fernando. You weren't used to that by now.
Gina Grad
You be in movie, you fight Eric in movie. Everybody jumps up and says he's not sag. I'm thinking, they're calling me a skag. I'll slap the shit. I'll slap the hell out of him. And he goes, make him just like this and just make him. And then he says, you be in movie. You be my friend. I'll never forget that. You don't let people tell you that you'll be their friend in prison. And then he leans over and he kisses me on one cheek, kisses me on the other cheek, and walks away. I looked at Eddie Bunker, I said, look, I'mma train the kid for 320, but if I'm going to be kissing that old man, I want more money.
Brian Bishop
And he.
Gina Grad
And I. He's European, so.
Brian Bishop
Wow. I.
Gina Grad
That's how I got in. And then the first five years of my career, I just played like, inmate number one bad guy.
Brian Bishop
Well, again, it's not really typ casting if that's. That's what you did. I mean, and Danny, I think you're
Gina Grad
funny you said that. Because the first time I got interviewed, somebody said, danny, aren't you afraid of being stereotyped? I said, what? Well, you're always playing the mean Chicago Chicano dude with tattoos. And I thought of my. I thought I got a tattoo this big on my. I am the mean Chicano dude.
Brian Bishop
I. I gotta say again, Runaway Train. Most People don't. It doesn't make the rounds on cable. It doesn't get talked about that much. But a really good high quality movie and we can see a young Danny. I haven't seen it million years. You were in it.
Gina Grad
I was the boxer. Yeah. I got the box. Eric in the movie.
Brian Bishop
This movie again.
Gina Grad
Security, Social Security, Social Security.
Brian Bishop
And you can go to indiegogo.com and you just search Social Security and make Danny's dreams come true.
Gina Grad
I honestly believe that it's Craig Moss's best work.
Brian Bishop
And Craig Moss as well. Thank you, Craig. Did you write it? I did, yeah. And give us a little overview of the story, please. The best way to describe it is. Is Die Hard in a retirement home. Sold with. Right? I mean, hear that with Danny Trejo.
Paul Scheer
And that's it.
Brian Bishop
All right, you guys want to hang out? We'll do a little news. Crack wise. Give me news with Gina Grad. We out of Florida Sex surveys. Obama need. News with Gina. Gina. The news with Gina. Graduation
Adam Carolla
protests and outcry are taking place all over the separate shootings of two black men by police officers this week. So I'm going to give you both stories real quick. Late Tuesday night, 37 year old Alton Sterling was pinned down and shot in the chest outside a convenience store where he was selling CDs after a homeless man reportedly called 911 saying that a man matching Sterling's description showed him his gun after the homeless man asked for money. The shooting was captured on video by the convenience store where who happened to be a friend and a few bystanders. One of the officers shouted that Sterling had a gun even though the video footage doesn't support showing the gun. We have it. I don't know if you want to see it.
Brian Bishop
I don't need to see it.
Adam Carolla
It's pretty.
Brian Bishop
He had a gun, right?
Adam Carolla
The homeless man said, I know, but
Brian Bishop
then they found a gun.
Adam Carolla
Right. But he hadn't drawn a gun.
Brian Bishop
I know, but you got to work that into the story. Otherwise you're going to Huffington Post.
Adam Carolla
Well, I didn't see it. I've seen the video now several times.
Brian Bishop
No, he didn't brandish the gun.
Gina Grad
He had.
Brian Bishop
He had. It's a different story if you don't have a gun at all. He had a gun.
Chris Tyson
Right.
Brian Bishop
Okay.
Adam Carolla
Which he.
Brian Bishop
I'm just looking. I just want all. I want all the information. Okay, so he has a gun. So here's the deal. I was sort of looking at this. First off, I just tell people, look, cops will shoot anyone at any time. For anything, anywhere. That's number one. Number two, the first story, story, I was like, look sad, the guy's dead. But you're selling CDs in front of a store and you got a piece on you, and you allegedly show that piece to somebody, they're gonna call the cops. And whatever happens after that, that it's gonna involve you. And my advice to anybody of any ethnicity is stay out of that situation because it can very easily, easily, as history has shown, and whatever, your skin color can end up this way. The second guy, that's the story that's very upsetting to me. The first one is, guy's dead. That's bad. But the problem, and I wanna be clear in the black community is no one deserves to be shot. But not everyone is a hero. Let's not inflate these guys status. One guy, strong arms. A guy in a liquor store store, grabs a bunch of stuff. Cops are called or show up or whatever. Hey, I'm sorry. That's a much different story than a guy sitting in his car who's saying, I gotta reach for my wallet. I have a concealed carry permit. Let's not make them the exact same story is what I'm saying.
Adam Carolla
Well, and I think where the actual outrage and horror comes in in the Alton Sterling story is in the video. He's physically pinned down on the ground and shot point blank.
Brian Bishop
No, that's horrible.
Adam Carolla
So in that case, there was no
Brian Bishop
reaching or no, here's the deal. Cops are the dumbest, angriest guys who were played on the football team in high school and they are wanting to. When you decide to be a cop, your wiring is of a certain way. If you sign up to be a cop, if you ask, ask me or most of the guys I grew up with, could you be a cop? I go, no, I couldn't be a cop. Not because I would be fearful of being cops. I just couldn't impose myself on other people that way. I don't want to wrestle junkies on the sidewalk. I'd have trouble giving people parking tickets and or moving violations. A couple things with these cops, first off, they pull the guy over for busted taillight. That's number one. Stop doing that. Cops stop with the chicken ass stuff with the pullover this led into this. But I mean, let's just stop that. Stop that. Out on patrol to make money move in the first place that everyone seems to be. Every municipality has realized, oh, these guys are money collectors. They're like Danny in the joint, Good indie fan.
Adam Carolla
You know, I actually Read an article on today and they're calling it police a tearing. When they're literally just shaking people down for money.
Brian Bishop
Well, it's not the policeman's fault and it's not the chief of police fault. It's the governor's fault and the mayor's fault because they've quickly, when they're doing their budgets, went, oh, wait a minute, these homeless guys are costing us. What do these guys do? Well, they're here to protect and serve. Yeah, but some of these guys are turning a pretty good profit. I mean, these guys are pulling over people left and right, making tons and tons of dope for the city. Once that began, it's really hard to shut that spigot off. Like once that inflow of. Hey, there's these guys. Yeah, what do you pay them with benefits and retirement and everything? We probably average about 41 bucks an hour. All right, but in a good hour, those guys can pack in like 1500, maybe two grand worth of fines. Ooh, we got earners on Moto Guzzis out here just buzzing around hammering checks. Okay, this is good. Let's focus on, on that. Well, don't you want them to go to the seedy part of town and look into gang activity? No, no. Park them on Forest Lawn Drive in front of the Jewish cemetery. Have the guy bike. He'll back the bike up there. And then when people go too fast on Forest lawn, we'll get 340 bucks each time he stops somebody, even if they're in mourning. Right. So the second it turned into that, that's a major problem. The other thing is, as I've said, whatever your skin color is, if the cops yell get on the ground, you gotta get on the ground. That's it. Whether you did right or whether you did wrong, you gotta get on the ground.
Adam Carolla
Right. Well, and this is more to that example in the second story that you were referring to. So a woman who began streaming video on Facebook immediately after her boyfriend, 32 year old Philando Castile, was shot by police in suburban Minneapolis. So the woman identified by the names both diamond and Lavish Reynolds, Reynolds, says he'd been stopped for broken taillight, which she says was not actually broken. And that when he stated that he was licensed to carry a gun and that he was reaching for his id, which the cop had asked for, the cop opened fire right into the window. So I have a clip of her talking about it. It does show the boyfriend. It is not pleasant, but it's her basically stating what's happening on Facebook live in the moment and being very respectful and I think probably in shock.
Brian Bishop
And he let the officer know that he was re. He had a firearm and he was reaching for his wallet and the officer just shot him in his arm. We're waiting for him back. I will, sir. No worries. He just shot his arm offener. Told him not to reach for it. I told him to get his hand off. He had. You told him to get his ID, sir? His driver's license. Oh my God.
Vinny Tortorich
Please.
Brian Bishop
How did he die? From being shot in the arm. Must pass through his arm, under his
Adam Carolla
abdomen or something, I think. As far as she can see it.
Brian Bishop
I will, sir. I'll keep my hands where they are.
Adam Carolla
So the cop is.
Brian Bishop
Please don't tell me this, Lord. Please, Jesus, don't tell me that he's gone.
Adam Carolla
So the cop is clearly distraught, freaking out, doesn't know, you know, what just happened. She keeps it together. This is a nine minute video. They then ask her to get out of the car, walk backwards, cuff her, put her and her daughter in the back of the police vehicle with a video.
Brian Bishop
But
Adam Carolla
so the whole time she's very composed and then absolutely just has an emotional outburst as anybody would when she realized what's actually happening.
Gina Grad
One of the things that I just got to say being on the other side also is that if you're going to carry a gun, nine times out of 10 there's going to be some kind of incident. Incident with that gun. Either you get shot or someone else gets shot. If you have a gun, you tend not to back up. It's like you're just kind of like, you know what, punk? I'll get away from me. And if you don't have one, you just tend to be a little more passive.
Brian Bishop
Yeah, I way I sort of believe I look at his sort of Jimmy's cousin Sal with his taser shock thing. He brought it into the man show when we were doing the man show. And it took him about 30 minutes to shock all 80 employees of the man show because he had it. Like I have this feeling with cops, good guys, bad guys, whatever it is, it's strapped to your hip. How long, how long before you pull it out? Like it's right there. It's right up there with my, you know, the cop suicide rates are through the roof because they got a thing that will kill them strapped to them. And I think they tend to use it.
Gina Grad
And I If that guy didn't have a gun, he wouldn't have showed it. He would have told that homeless guy, get away from Me? Get away from me. I'll slap the shit out of you.
Brian Bishop
Well, wait a minute. Not the homeless guy. The homeless guy was. Oh, the homeless guy.
Adam Carolla
Sterling.
Brian Bishop
Yeah. Okay. Well also it's a self selecting group too where you think who amongst us wants to carry a piece all the time? Well, probably people that are getting into situations or going into neighborhoods or dealing with people that are of a different. Who might have a gun as well. So it's like this self selecting group, but either way.
Adam Carolla
But in the second category, I mean, he couldn't have done anything more correct. I think in that sense you say it, you have it, you say what you're doing.
Brian Bishop
Cops are freaked out. And that's. And this. I'm sure it's also one of these things where. And here's the other thing. Look, it's not. My only protest over this whole thing is when they just turn it into open season on black people. I disagree with that. Cops will shoot anyone anytime. They make mistakes all the time. They're not the brightest. And now they're super on edge and super nervous, which makes them even crazier with all this and this notion of all they do is do black people. No, we just don't report it when it's white people. When the 19 year old in Fresno gets shot, we look at his skin tone. If he's white, all right, it's not making the news. So of course if you did a thing thing and there was a shot fired, there was a. Some kid in Fresno got shot. But look, I showed you many depictions of whitey getting the crap beat out of him or getting shot. But if you did this, I mean, if this is the way our news was wired. I like to make my car analogies. Right? Okay, so here's the deal. We will and I'll go back to color. There's black cars out there, there's white car. There's white cars out there and there's every other color. But I'll tell you what, the only stories that will make accidents make the news for an accident will be black cars. They'll just be black cars. If there's an accident with a white car, that's not newsworthy. If it's a black car, that's newsworthy. And then you sit around and watch the news for a couple of years, well, what conclusions do you draw? Well, black cars are getting actions far more whatever. But that's not statistically true. It's just we're not reporting if we refuse to report any other thing other than the black Car narrative, then yes, we will all walk around in a society where we think there's something wrong with cops or black cars or whatever the analogy is. And that's where we're at.
Gina Grad
It's a good analogy.
Brian Bishop
Thank you. I say there's plenty of footage of cops shooting Hispanic people and white people and doing. Get Mark Gargos in here, he'll tell you he's doing 10 cases that involve a guy walking his dog and a cop just came up and shot him and this and that. But we only care about this one.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. My only question, cuz I was thinking about this because I knew we were gonna talk about it and I'm wondering. You can't prove it cuz it's just a hypothetical, I guess psychological. But I'm wondering if in these cops and their anecdotal situations, if they come across a big black guy, they're on some sort of different alert.
Brian Bishop
They absolutely are. Because they create more crime statistically black males in a certain age than do other groups of that age or other ages or females or Asians or whatever it is. Yes, of course, when a cop walks up on a big black dude, he has a different mindset than he does on a elderly Asian woman.
Adam Carolla
So is it possible that in that situation because of that he's more trigger happy?
Brian Bishop
Absolutely.
Adam Carolla
Okay.
Brian Bishop
That's absolutely what it is. And that's. You're not gonna weed that, that out. You can't, you can't weed that out of human beings. That's how every human being is wired. It doesn't make it right. It's just. You're not going to weed that out. The only way to weed it out is to change the statistic. That's going to take a long time. That's the only way to do this. I mean you can do all the cop training you want, they got guns, they're some of the dumbest guys you went to high school with. They have their wire to serve way it's gonna happen, but it's gonna happen to whitey and Hispanic too. And it'll happen to, you know, first off, above black, it's just male. I mean you say, well it's black males. No, it's male. White males, Hispanic males, black males, it's just males. Okay? That's number one. Well, who' swhat are cops doing well when they walk up on a dude between the age of 60, 16 and 31, their hands on the gun. Cause that's who commits all the crimes. Whatever your color is, that's the guys that could get violent or physically may be imposing. That's how it works. What happened to the Fresno kid? Dylan Noble? Yeah. There's a video. It's unclear exactly what happened. When the video starts, he's on the ground and they're screaming at him not to move. And then they shoot at him least twice. But he's white. I don't get it. Apparently they felt he wasn't obeying their commands. All right, I know what's more egregious than this? The guy's eight feet away, lying on his belly and they stand there a safe distance away. They're not wrestling with him. There's no implication that he could get their gun. Or he's laying on the ground and they just shoot him while he lays on the ground. Okay, it says they were 12 to 15ft away. Okay, well, I got better eyeballs than they do, but either way, I mean, look, he's halfway up a Ford F150 with a body lift kit and a suspension, 3 inch suspension lift. And they're standing by the tailgate, so they can't be that far back. They should go into court. All right, so I get back to what I always get back to, which is it's wrong, but it's not stop at the narrative of open season on black people. It's poisoning us.
Gina Grad
I've never seen that on the news.
Brian Bishop
This story.
Gina Grad
Yeah, why would you?
Brian Bishop
He's a white guy.
Gina Grad
I like the truck.
Brian Bishop
Who cares? Well, it's probably for sale. Oh, God, forgive us, but from the mouth of convicts. Danny says, I never seen this. Yeah, neither is any of us. It's not a story. It's a 19 year old kid who looks like a nice snowboarder getting executed in the street in the daylight hours. Daylight hours. It's not a story. Doesn't exist. Doesn't exist. Why doesn't it exist? It's a young. He's younger than these other guys that were shot. He was executed by cops. It was nearby in Fresno. We're here in la. Why? No story doesn't fit the narrative, that's all. So please, everyone with this stuff, understand what you're getting fed. And of course, if you're the black community, you're gonna be outraged because you're watching TV just like I'm watching tv. You don't hear about the guy from Fresno. You hear about these two brothers and you go, I'm outraged.
Adam Carolla
And you watch the news and you. I don't wanna feel hunted if I'm in that category.
Brian Bishop
And then you get Interviewed. And it's like, you see the black moms, like, the only time this happens is the young black men. That's the only time this goes on. And of course, that's the narrative you've been fed. That's the only gonna show accidents involving black. Black cars. Okay. I just don't. All I'm saying is it happens. It's going to happen. And it's sad when it happens. But if you're a news agency, you got to tell it when it happens every time or tone it down. But you can't just steer this. That's not news. It really isn't you giving the news. It's you technically giving the news. But if you're doing it so selectively that it seems like you're creating a narrative that doesn't fully exist and you're doing a lot of harm to the community. Yes.
Gina Grad
You're kind of instigating.
Brian Bishop
Well, in a way, when, you know, if you owned a pharmacy in Ferguson and it was burned to the ground, CNN has something to do with that because they steered it into this. You know, they do little things like calling the guy a kid, even if he's 19, or whatever it is, they'll call him a young boy or something like that, A gentle giant. And things like this are all things to incite, which I get. But here's the thing. Just tell us the story. The guy was 18. The guy got shot. Here's what he did. You start working into the gentle giant part, and now you're sitting home and you're black, and you're getting pissed off.
Gina Grad
Everybody. Well, everybody kind of forgets that the one guy strong arms somebody in a. In a market, and then this guy's carrying a gun. And the minute you're carrying a gun, you know what? I'm sorry. You're fair game.
Brian Bishop
Well, you're fair game because you brandished it, allegedly. And somebody called the cops and said that big brother's got a gun. Okay? The cops already showing up with their antennas at full, full sail. Like, they're showing up agitated, freaked out, whatever. They're showing up like that.
Gina Grad
And nine times out of 10, when they get a call, call of any kind, they're agitated. They're already on. You know, they never know. Especially domestic violence. You know, it's like elder abuse. Yeah.
Brian Bishop
Hey, go out. And Social Security. By the way, speaking of elder abuse, that was a working title. All right, next one.
Adam Carolla
Well, Sarah Silverman had a serious health scare. The comedian says she spent last week in ICU for a Life threatening condition. She said, don't even know why I went to the doctor. Was just a surprise. She wrote that on Facebook on Wednesday. And she said, but I had a freak case of epiglottitis. Now, if you're not familiar with what that is, it's an inflammation of the flap at the base of your tongue that keeps food from going into the windpipe. So due to its place in the airway, swelling of it can interfere with breathing and constitutes a medical emergency. And they almost always intubate immediately. So this was a huge deal. According to.
Brian Bishop
This is ironic, because she's crazy into oral. Oral hygiene, literally. She begged me to scrape my tongue once. Like, what are you doing with my tongue? You gotta scrape it. I said, with your vagine.
Adam Carolla
You don't have a tongue scraper?
Brian Bishop
No, I don't know. I didn't know. She's like. She was outraged. Like, you gotta brush that tongue, man. All right.
Chris Tyson
Looks like coffee bacteria there.
Brian Bishop
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
She said she woke up five days after surgery with no memory of what had happened. She actually thought she had been in an accident. She added, quote, there's something that. What happens when three people you're so close to die within a year and then you almost die, but don't? It's a strange dichotomy between why me and why me? So this was a very.
Brian Bishop
Only three people.
Adam Carolla
I don't know. I'm assuming family. But this is a big deal. Apparently, epiglottitis is a big deal. Had to go to emergency surgery.
Chris Tyson
Had to be showed the face of epoclotitis awareness.
Brian Bishop
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
That's really good. Paid gigs.
Brian Bishop
Yeah.
Gina Grad
Can you. Can you catch it?
Adam Carolla
It's a bacterial infection. Somebody sneezes on you.
Brian Bishop
Yeah, I looked it up. Really? What's it called again?
Adam Carolla
Epiglottitis.
Brian Bishop
See?
Adam Carolla
Or epiglottidis.
Brian Bishop
You got to figure something out. Because when you rattle that. Can I tell you, I've done. Danny, you've done this. You do these charity events, you know, charity car race, charity whatever. Charity softball game or whatever. And they do that thing where they go, if you win, we're going to cut a check for $10,000 to charity of your choice. And every time I go, okay. And my wife's charity is the Schizophrenia Foundation. But when they give you the paperwork, I'm like, let's see. Schiz. No P. No S.P. no S. Schizo. S, K, S.K. no, no S, C, E, S.K. catholic big brothers. Thank you. Do you have much money? Funny. Catholic big brothers have got out of Me, just because I couldn't spell schizophrenia. You got to get some initials going with this. Now, Sarah Silverman's not going to race squat, ep. You got to be able to smell it.
Chris Tyson
That's right.
Brian Bishop
Yeah. She's a little bit of a hypochondriac.
Adam Carolla
Good thing she went to the doctor.
Brian Bishop
This is why. Yeah, because most people we know with a sore throat wrote, don't go to Cedars.
Chris Tyson
Yeah, right.
Brian Bishop
But it's good she's got a little. That wiring.
Adam Carolla
Yeah.
Brian Bishop
Saved her life.
Adam Carolla
Absolutely. Deadspin reports that Jon Jones will miss this weekend's UFC 200, where he was supposed to fight a rematch against Daniel. Is it Cormier?
Brian Bishop
Yes.
Adam Carolla
Okay, I want to make sure. I'm saying that right in the main event for a doping violation. The headliner of one of the UFC's biggest cards of all time is now gone after he apparently failed to a test three weeks ago. Ariel Helwani of MMA Fighting reports that Brock Lesnar's fight with Mark Hunt will now be the main event unless Dana White can find someone to fight Cormier.
Brian Bishop
Oh, we have a late rumor.
Adam Carolla
Oh. Breaking news, Danny Trejo.
Brian Bishop
Also coming from Ariel Helwani. They're saying Anderson Silva versus Cormier. Oh, Anderson Silva. Wow. That's interesting. Very, very. Yeah, it's so, you know, it's obviously, Jon Jones is one of the most gifted athletes on the planet, and if you don't believe him, ask his brothers who are in the NFL. And I don't know if it just comes too easily, if somehow something comes too easily. You just can't stop self destructing. But, I mean, it's a weird thing that this guy's had, like one fight in two years. He's still considered like, the all time greatest pound for pound, or one of the most potentially greatest people pound per pound guys in the world. He's literally in a sport where many fights come down to a coin toss and where guys like Randy Couture who are entering the UFC hall of Fame are going in at, you know, 28 and 19 or something. Like, you can't do that in boxing. You can't lose one third of your fights or close to half your fights and be like a Hall of Famer. I mean, I mean, Tito Ortiz, that guy's probably 18 and 15, and he's like a Hall of Famer. And why? Because you gotta flip a coin. Because anything could happen with those three ounce gloves. Out of all that, he's really the only guy who goes, this guy doesn't get beat, can't be beat, doesn't get beat. And that's a real tall order. And it's almost like everyone is just vying for second place. But he can't stop with the self destructive behavior. Can't stop. And you just wonder. That was way off. Tito's 18, 12 and 1. Boxing is checkers and MMA is chess. Does that sound like.
Gina Grad
No, that's wrong.
Brian Bishop
Does that sound. But that's not. Obviously in boxing if you're 18, 12 and 1, you're journeyman, tomato can boxers.
Gina Grad
Boxers play checkers. Floyd Mayweather plays chess.
Brian Bishop
Yeah, I would argue that most boxers play dominoes, but it's a racial thing. A lot of brothers in the game,
Gina Grad
it's like, it's funny. It's like, you know, boxing has, has evolved to its fullest with Floyd Mayweather. That's all. It's boring, you know, because Floyd Mayweather is so far above fighters. Fighters. He's a boxer. Believe if you watch him. It's a amazing.
Brian Bishop
Sure.
Gina Grad
For a boxing enthusiast, for a fighting enthusiast. Boring as hell.
Brian Bishop
Yeah, but, but you're right. And try to sell that to your Mexican brethren about the sweet science. They want to see some guy get his ass kicked. I want to sell some body shots. Mexican fight fans out of this world.
Gina Grad
But their fight, it's a fight. We love fights, you know.
Brian Bishop
Yeah.
Gina Grad
Mayweather's a boxer and, and he, he, he understands the art, the art, you know, I mean, of, of boxing. And it's evolved. It went from, from bare knuckles to Gentleman Jim Corbett to, to Rocky Marshall, you know, it's, it's evolved to Mike Titus. Mike.
Brian Bishop
It's an old joke that's a classic from yesterday's show. But I, yeah, no, I, I agree. And it is brilliant. Boring. To watch a guy go out there and artfully ply his trade that way.
Gina Grad
Bang, bang, bang, bang, slip, bang, bang, bang, bang, hold, bang, bang, bang, bang. I mean, come on, what, 50 fights and he's been cut once and that was with a headbutt?
Brian Bishop
Yeah, he's absolutely. Look, everyone else is doing something else. And that's kind of how Jon Jones was. And Jon Jones is young. I mean, it's just, it's the thing that always baffles me about those guys is Jon Jones could have a career that lasted 15 years, maybe more. He could be in for huge payday after huge payday, mega fight after mega fight. His body will support stepping up to heavyweight. He's just a big dude. His brothers are both in the NFL. I mean he comes from that stock, he could step up the heavyweight, go clean out that division, go back down to light heavyweight. Do whatever. Paycheck after payday after payday. God knows endorsements and whatever else. Why is there not one Jewish guy next to him who's gone, John Uber? Don't drive. Don't drive. You know it. You had too much cold medicine. Like, literally or don't do this. Shouldn't there just be one guy with horn rimmed glasses who's assigned to that? Dude that goes like, look, we got a choice. Over the next decade, you can make $200 million or you can do some prison time.
Adam Carolla
That's what they're dealing with with Johnny Manziel.
Brian Bishop
Yeah, but Johnny Manziel does not have physically what it takes to get those paydays at the next level.
Gina Grad
Look at Mayweather's people.
Brian Bishop
Yeah, yeah. You talking about his uncle?
Vinny Tortorich
Yeah.
Brian Bishop
Oh, I love his uncle.
Gina Grad
That's his trainer. That's not. That's not the people dealing with the money, not the people dealing with the checks, believe me.
Brian Bishop
All right, where were we? Castrol Edge. Yeah, man. Weeks I've been telling you about Castrol Edge. Castrol Edge, a full synthetic motor oil three times better, three times better against viscosity breakdown as per the industry standard than Mobil 1. So not many folks can say that. And they got a couple of cool films. Speaking of films out there, Casserole Edge. They challenged a couple of pro drivers, pushed the boundaries of performance. They're in an Aston Martin Volken and a Koenigsegg. Don't see a lot of those around Sylmar, the San Fernando Valley. They did it in a simulator and then they actually took the car on the track and then they raced themselves on the simulator and physically at the famous Askari racetrack. So check that out. And what you should do is you should go to Castrol USA and go to their YouTube channel and check that out. And next time we do an oil change, get some Castrol Edge titanium, strong for maximum engine performance. All right, one more. All right.
Adam Carolla
Well, Fox News chairman and CEO Roger Ailes has responded to a sexual harassment lawsuit filed by former anchor Gretchen Carlson. Carlson claims in the suit that Ailes made unworthy unwanted sexual advances and eventually fired her for complaining about her treatment. Ailes released a statement denying the accusation, claiming the suit is merely retaliation for being terminated. Carlson's lawsuit, which only names Ailes as a defendant, also details allegations of hostile work environment created by her. Former Fox and Friends co host Steve Doocy for treating.
Brian Bishop
Let me see a Picture. Here's how, guys.
Adam Carolla
I have a video for you.
Brian Bishop
Oh, okay. Here's how guys roll. They're like, what happened? He sexually harassed his. Whatever. He was sleeping with his nanny. Huh? Let me see a picture of the nanny. And then we go, oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah. Or we go. Or we go. No way. Come on. No way. The only guy to ever defy us has been Schwarzenegger. That was the only time I was tripped up. Let me see a picture of the nanny in the pirate outfit. No way. No way. Schwarzenegger's doing a lot better. No, sorry. He didn't do that. He's the only guy she ever crossed.
Gina Grad
But it wasn't. It wasn't like. It wasn't the babysitter or the name. It was Nana. There's a big difference in doing Nana and doing, like, the nanny or the babysitter. There's a big difference. Nana is like. Like grandma.
Brian Bishop
Yeah, that's what I'm saying. That's the only time we've ever. He threw us some sort of cultural Bavarian curve or something. You know, we were just not ready for that. As Americans normally, we got a pretty good idea of what's going on. So I need to see a picture of this.
Adam Carolla
Well, she's a. She's a lovely looking lady, but we'll do our.
Brian Bishop
We'll do our math.
Vinny Tortorich
All right,
Brian Bishop
I could see it. So according, by the way, we do the same thing with Florida school teachers. Like, she had sex with five of her students. Oh, my God. Oh, sweet. Yeah, it's so sad that if you. You could just swap out a nine for four and a half and all of a sudden starting to change completely.
Gina Grad
Lord, forgive us for these thoughts.
Brian Bishop
So sad. So sad that Dan's having this.
Adam Carolla
Well, according to the court documents, Ailes response to the complaint was that Carlson needed to learn to get along with the boys. So here's a super cut that somebody put together. Here's just a few seconds of it with Doocy interacting with Gretchen on the air.
Brian Bishop
Gorgeous.
Gina Grad
Gorgeous.
Brian Bishop
Look at her today. Beautiful dress. You look wonderful. You look wonderful, Gretchen. Very, very beautiful dress there. Great color, right? In summary, Gretchen's beautiful.
Gina Grad
Beautiful.
Chris Tyson
You look beautiful.
Brian Bishop
Well, you look fabulous, too.
Paul Scheer
Brian, can you tell Gretchen she is definitely winning today? She looks amazing.
Brian Bishop
Wow. And no, it's not because Fox and Friends is too hot, but Gretchen is really too hot. Blame her then skirts. Gretchen, I guess what you're wearing right now, the skirt might cause some problems.
Adam Carolla
It would not be advisable for the.
Brian Bishop
Gretchen is going to ride the mechanical bull live from our snowy plaza.
Adam Carolla
And a lot of viewers are concerned that I'm going to have the skirt on when I do it.
Brian Bishop
I'm not sure, but concerned.
Gina Grad
That's. I was just thinking it would have looked better if she did with the skirt.
Brian Bishop
By the way, if you showed this to somebody from any other period instead of this crazy period we're living in, they'd look at it and go, what did we just look at? Some guy complimented a co worker. Was that supposed to be indicting, saying, you look good?
Adam Carolla
Yeah, sort of putting a spotlight on her. Not about her work, not about what she's doing, but about the skirt.
Brian Bishop
That's a zero, Gina. It's a zero.
Gina Grad
You gotta remember this is a different time.
Brian Bishop
I know, but some sort of exhibit A. Yeah.
Chris Tyson
I don't think it's hurtful or offensive, but it does undercut her as a journalist. Although she's really a claim.
Adam Carolla
Next time a co worker tells me I'm pretty, I'll let you know if it's a pretty.
Gina Grad
I have to tell you this. My. My daughter. Because it's a younger time and it's a different time because every time a waitress would say to me, will there be anything else? I always say, yeah, give me a kiss. I just. As a joke. And my daughter slapped me. Right? I said, what's wrong?
Brian Bishop
She says.
Gina Grad
I said, it's a joke. She said, dad, that's a joke to you your age, it's sexual harassment to anybody her age.
Brian Bishop
Also, she only knows you as a guy who rapes people on a prison plane. So there's a context here, Danny. She just saw Conair last night and only knows you as a guy who's a serial rapist on a prison plane.
Gina Grad
But most waitresses just kind of laugh and give me a hug or something.
Brian Bishop
Well, here's what I'm saying.
Gina Grad
It's a different time. It's really a different time.
Brian Bishop
Of course. What I'm saying is this. Anybody who works with anybody can put a montage together. We could have a nice montage if you ever.
Adam Carolla
I forced you to look at my ass one time.
Brian Bishop
Wrongful termination. We could put together a. A great. We could do a great one.
Gina Grad
Yeah, yeah.
Brian Bishop
Sexually harassing. We put that. That might probably make the cut, except for this would be 12 hours, so we'd have to whittle it down to three minutes. But we could put together a montage where it seemed like I was sexually harassing you. And by the way, you. We could do one where it seemed like you were sexually harassing me.
Adam Carolla
Very possible.
Brian Bishop
And we might even be fine.
Gina Grad
Somebody sexually harassed me.
Brian Bishop
We could probably put together, please get
Adam Carolla
back to the hooker I killed.
Chris Tyson
We could do it right now.
Vinny Tortorich
15.
Brian Bishop
We probably put together 15, 15, 20 seconds of Brian agreeing with me. I don't know. We have to really go through the archives. The point is, we could make anything look like anything if we wanted to do that. I'm not saying they didn't do it. I'm just saying a montage of them saying, you look great, or, that's a good looking skirt, or, you look great. It's almost. I don't want to be in this place where we take compliments, greetings, openings, and turn them into something nefarious. And I don't. It has negative ramifications because most women enjoy or at least find it complimentary to have people say, you look good today, or that's a nice dress on you, or have you lost weight or you got tan, or, you know, they like the way we're wired is guys don't care as much about the physicality compliment. We prefer that you laugh at our stupid jokes probably. But women, as per their wiring, do take it as a compliment when someone tells them they're looking good. Now, I can't stop the part where you feel threatened because you're a waitress and Danny's pulled in your booth. But what I'm saying is if I tell my wife she looks good, she likes that, right? So they're gonna be cut back a lot on the workplace compliments, because you're
Gina Grad
always say, hey, you look really good or you look really good. It's like there's a way to say
Adam Carolla
that night and day.
Gina Grad
You got that look in. In your eye that scares them.
Brian Bishop
Yeah. All right. Anyway, let's bring it home.
Adam Carolla
You got it. I'm Gina grad. And that's what happened.
Gina Grad
The hooker. Who's talking about the hooker?
Adam Carolla

Brian Bishop
Oh, it's a hook.
Adam Carolla

This is the Mindset stream. Now pay Never a KFC tale in the pursuit of flavor. The greatest insult the Colonel ever suffered was being served a wrap that was just a snack by a friend. So he took two crispy tenders, lettuce, tomatoes, and pepper mayo and wrapped them in a soft tortilla. It wasn't a snack, it was a meal. He called it a twister and never called that friend again. The Colonel lived so we could Chicken the twister. Now back at kfc. Classic or with bacon. Also, try it spicy. It's finger licking. Good prices and participation may vary.
