Chris Hansen. Plus the news and trending topics with Jason Mayhem Miller. And now maybe he should be in charge of the Bureau of Labor Statistics so he can make sure everyone is doing his best.
Adam Carolla
Adam Carolla yeah, get it on. Got to get on the church mandate. Get it on. Thanks for tuning in. Thanks for telling a friend. Donna Dierico is back, known probably best from Baywatch, Playboy and all that. That kind of stuff. The scene, man. Making the scene in the 90s out here. And also, by the way, congratulations because you know, you can pop up on TMZ for a lot of reasons. Nine out of ten of them Are bad. There's. Well, you could be dead. That's a TMZ one. That's probably the worst. And then everything goes from there to DUIs, to divorce. But Donna popped up a couple of months ago, and you got.
Chris Hansen
Did I?
Adam Carolla
You'd know. Somebody told you you're on tmz, didn't they? They had to. Oh, you did something. Well, the whole point is this. When somebody says, I saw you on tmz, you gotta stop and go. And you have to scroll. What happened?
Chris Hansen
What happened?
Adam Carolla
What'd I do?
Chris Hansen
I'm doing that right now.
Adam Carolla
Leaving a nightclub drunk. Did I. A valet, Donna Dierico, Remember her? From Baywatch?
Jason Mayhem Miller
Of course.
Adam Carolla
Well, she found her Baywatch swimsuit and put it on again. Now, at 57 years old, does it fit and. Whoa. Oh, yeah. 57. No. You found your Baywatch bathing suit.
Chris Hansen
Yeah, one of them. Yeah.
Adam Carolla
And you put it on, it still fits.
Chris Hansen
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
Now, is that genetics or what is that?
Chris Hansen
I don't know. I kind of don't. I exercise a lot. I mean, I work my ass off, really, to stay. You do? Yeah, But I also gave up a lot of stuff. Like, I don't drink caffeine, and I, you know, I don't drink alcohol, and I don't take any kind of pills. I don't smoke. I don't do much of anything anymore, and I just stay really active. But I think, honestly, Adam, the biggest thing that is working in my favor is I cut out all toxic people out of my life.
Adam Carolla
Ah.
Chris Hansen
My circle's really, really small now. But the people that are in it are not toxic. And as soon as somebody proves to be toxic or like a user kind of person, which I'm sure you get a lot, they're gone permanently.
Adam Carolla
Well, I woke up this morning thinking about this, and I think I dwell on this, maybe even obsess on this. These sort of people. Now you're calling them toxic people. I always just call them sort of difficult people. And there's. And now. So. But we have to try to break it down, because we talk to them, they'll say, you're the difficult one.
Chris Hansen
I'm sure they would.
Adam Carolla
Right. But then you have to also kind of go, all right, well, let's try to be objective about this. Like, I don't think I've had difficulty with a non difficult person in my life, which is. This is kind of how you. This is a yardstick to kind of measure this.
Chris Hansen
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
Like, and it's real easy for me. I have twins. My son is very Easy. And my daughter is difficult, okay? Not even bad, but she's difficult. You know, she needs this and she wants that, and there's this and there's that. There's just stuff, okay? And my son is. He's an old cat, you know, he's just kind of laying around. You know what I mean? And so people say if you. Well, what's. I said, I've never had an argument with my son. I've never had anything with my son. Cause he's easy and I'm easy. And then people go, oh, you're easy, right? I go, no, I am. I'll do what you want. I'll ask. I'll say, on a Saturday night, donna, you want to go out to dinner? And you go, yep. And I'd go, what are you in the mood for?
Chris Hansen
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
And then you'd tell me, and then I'd go, you want to go to a movie after that? And then you'd tell me, and then I might say, would you consider Thai food instead of Italian food? And then if you went, now I'm really set on. Then we would go, and that would be that. It's kind of easy.
Chris Hansen
Okay? Yeah.
Adam Carolla
I don't consider myself difficult. And I sail through life with the non difficult people. Years and decades go on, nothing. Dr. Drew, not a difficult person. Drew. And I speak every day because he's not difficult. Difficult people. Now there's trouble, but they think it's you. But I would point out to them all the people I've been friends with for so many years, and there's never been an argument because they're not difficult. Now. Toxic.
Chris Hansen
Toxic. You know, toxic. I think when I say toxic people, I'm talking about people who I find out they're talking behind my back, or I find out that they were lying to me. Lying's a big one for me. Or they're using me for something, or they have a really short fuse and they go off for no reason. And it's kind of psycho to me. That's the kind of toxicity that I just don't have time for. I'm too old for it.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, it's weird and sad or disappointing that it's so prevalent. Almost everyone I talk to, you know, you go, you got a brother. Ugh, that's a nut job. You know, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And you kind of go, why? Why does it have to be that way with so many people?
Chris Hansen
I always. I wonder if it's this city.
Adam Carolla
This city. Yeah, maybe it is.
Chris Hansen
I mean, I'm Wondering. Because that's where all the toxic people I've ever been involved with, they're all from here. And when I go back home to Georgia to visit, I just don't see it. Maybe I'm not there long enough.
Adam Carolla
Well, here's a, here's my hypothesis. I always said, I think California and LA, especially, we, we, we siphon off like the top 2% of assholes from everybody. Like, if you live in Brattleboro, Vermont, but you're an asshole, you'll end up in LA because you want to start your own band or publishing company or you have an idea for a reality show. Right? So you could be. Because you talk to people and they will be from like little towns all over the place.
Chris Hansen
Yeah, like me.
Adam Carolla
Right. But we take the top 2% of douchebag assholes and, and climbers. Like, people want to do stuff, you know, they're here for a reason. They're not gonna work at a hardware store in Brattleboro, Vermont. They're not. That's, that's not where they're, they're gonna, they're gonna. Or DeKalb, Illinois, you know, they're not gonna stay there. Because LA, the only people that are from LA are me, Dr. Drew and Attorney Mark Garrison. Nobody else is from here, right?
Chris Hansen
Yeah. Yeah.
Adam Carolla
And so you go, well, LA has all the assholes. Yeah, but we import assholes.
Chris Hansen
That's right.
Adam Carolla
We bring them in.
Chris Hansen
We do import them.
Adam Carolla
We are like an all star team of assholes, where we go to Brattleboro, Vermont, and we go, who's your biggest asshole? And I go, that's a guy chat. Okay, bring them in.
Chris Hansen
That's exactly what I mean.
Adam Carolla
You don't want them in here, your town, dude. Nope. Okay, bring them down here. And then they all show up. And now they're all the head assholes from all their cities and all their little towns and they've been dropped off here and they want to do something, but they can't do it. 80, 99% of them can't do it. So they're driving Uber or they're tending bar, or they're, what have you. But they got a plan and they fake it.
Chris Hansen
There's a lot of fakeness in this town. So they fake being something that they're not, and then that becomes part of their Persona is to be fake. And I think that that's what I have encountered a lot. I can't stand the fakeness much longer.
Adam Carolla
But, you know, you have to understand that being a beautiful woman, you have, you know, you're gonna attract a certain amount of that.
Chris Hansen
It's women, Adam. The men are fine. It's the women.
Adam Carolla
Okay, I will say this. Women hate other women, and this is a problem. It's a weird thing. Like, they'll go. It's sad, but they'll go. We have a society. We've decided to just blame white, heterosexual dudes for everything. Like, look, if you're a teenager and you're black and you're getting shot, it's not a white cop. It's another black kid who shot your teenager. And if you're a woman who's been done wrong, it's by another woman.
Chris Hansen
It's like, it's always the women.
Adam Carolla
Every woman comic I talk to goes, why can't we support each other? We don't. Hillary Clinton is not the president, and neither is Kamala Harris. And women are the majority of the population. So evidently, they're not as supportive as we'd like them to be. But let me explain. If you're a comedian or you're black or you're anything or your woman, the real white privilege is heterosexual white dude over 6 foot tall. I don't expect other dudes to take care of me. I don't expect them to support. Like, why aren't other comedians supporting my comedy? You're white, you're male. Come on, Marc Maron. Come on, man. You're white. You like titties. Why would you support my. No, fuck that douche. You know what I mean? The point is, I don't support him. He doesn't support me. And neither one of us expects anybody to support anybody. It's the real privilege that we get. We get to just go through our life, make our own stuff. Women are constantly disappointed because the other woman should have been supporting me. Yeah, but they don't because they don't like other women.
Chris Hansen
They don't because it's so competitive. Women are so competitive with each other. If there's someone who might be a little bit more attractive in the room, they don't want to be around them. Because now people are going to compare them and they think they pale by comparison or something. And.
Adam Carolla
Well, how much. Yeah, but how much of that is just biology? I'd like to blame the women, don't get me wrong. But, you know, you see.
Chris Hansen
No, I don't know. I don't know about that, because I don't think biology makes women be catty and mean and just vicious.
Adam Carolla
Well, okay, I'm not here to defend the ladies, but let's Try this for a second.
Chris Hansen
Okay, I'm listening.
Adam Carolla
You see a dog, a domesticated dog, a dog that lives on the 33rd floor of a penthouse condo off of Wilshire, right? And the thing's gonna go lay down on its little hyperallergenic doggy bed over there. And before it lays down, it turns in a circle, like three times, and then it goes down, right? And you look at him and you go, what you doing, Rover? We're on the 33rd floor. What are you looking for? Way to turn around. And then someone goes, their ancestors in the Serengeti would knock the grass down. That's how they would do it. They'd bring the grass down and they go, that's just what he's. Now you go, but what sense does it make? I don't know. It's encoded in his DNA to turn around and do this. Women are there to compete. They don't want other women. It's in them. It's embedded. It's in the DNA.
Chris Hansen
I mean, I feel like it would be like that for men because men are the ones that had to compete with each other for their harem of women.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, everyone's got to compete but the woman. Women compete for the seed of the man. The man wants to spread the seed to as many women as he. As he can.
Chris Hansen
Yeah, you're right.
Adam Carolla
So women are going to go after pretty women now then? In a million years from now, I guess. But it's still better to be pretty.
Chris Hansen
But again, I kind of feel like it's worse. That whole situation with women is worse in this. This town or maybe for people in this town or in the industry or something.
Adam Carolla
Well, yeah, because you have climbers here. And I don't really mean that in a negative way. I just mean you people show up to do something.
Chris Hansen
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
If you want to stay back in your town, maybe you just want to work around horses or something. You love horses. You know what I mean? Well, you don't have to then compete for that here. There's competition and people. People climb and people compete, and so you gotta deal with that. And then the problem is, no matter how beautiful you are, there's always a new busload of younger chicks being dropped off.
Chris Hansen
Always. Yeah.
Adam Carolla
And that's the world. And then it becomes a kind of a. Well, now, if you're trading on that early and, you know time's ticking. Even though TMZ was pretty darn flattering.
Chris Hansen
They'Re always actually nice to me. They've always been pretty cool to me. I don't think they've ever run a story that's been mean to me.
Adam Carolla
Really?
Chris Hansen
I don't think so.
Adam Carolla
That's pretty amazing.
Chris Hansen
Yeah, they're pretty cool to me to be.
Adam Carolla
Well, how did you. What year did you land Baywatch and how'd that whole thing come about?
Chris Hansen
Well, that was. Oh, God, now you're gonna date me. But I think it was. It was 96.
Adam Carolla
96.
Chris Hansen
Yeah, 96. And actually, I landed Baywatch nights first. The little spinoff show. I know, I know, I know.
Adam Carolla
People gotta look up Baywatch nights because it's like.
Chris Hansen
It was a cool show, though. It was like, you know, the sci fi version of Baywatch.
Adam Carolla
I mean, seriously, it was literally Hasselhoff going, I think Sasquatch is under the pier. Like, I gotta go look for Sasquatch under the pier. Or the snack shack is haunted or something like that. My sister.
Chris Hansen
I'm surprised you even know what the show was.
Adam Carolla
I remember at the time going, this is the most insane premise either because Baywatch nights should have been the stars of Baywatch day at. Now they're socializing. Now they're dating and they're having cocktails and there's infidelity and drama, you know what I mean? At the beach. But it wasn't. They were looking for the Loch Ness monster in the Santa Monica bay.
Chris Hansen
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. Whose idea was that show?
Chris Hansen
I think it was Hasselhoff's baby.
Adam Carolla
That sounds like a Hasselhoff idea.
Chris Hansen
And then they rolled me over onto Baywatch and then I was on both.
Adam Carolla
Shows, and now Baywatcher is the biggest show in the world at that point. Then you walk on. Are they accepting? Are they catty? Like how the ladies treat you.
Chris Hansen
I mean, to your face. They're always nice to your face. Yeah. While I was on the show, everybody was really pretty cool to me. Everybody was pretty cool. But I was really. I was fresh out of the south and I was, you know, shy and very green and not educated in the ways of Hollywood and stuff. So I just thought everybody was great.
Adam Carolla
Right. But you found out later. Maybe.
Chris Hansen
I don't. I mean, yeah. I mean, a lot of them are really cool people. I don't really. I'm not in touch with them anymore. But yeah, at the time on the show, it was great. I had a great time.
Adam Carolla
How many seasons did you do?
Chris Hansen
I did two seasons on nights and two seasons on Baywatch. Yeah.
Adam Carolla
And then it ended or where did you.
Chris Hansen
Well, it moved to Hawaii. I think they sold it to all American and moved to Hawaii. And I was already Kind of in the B storyline all the time anyway. And then they hired a ton of new cast for Hawaii, and I knew that I was just gonna get lost in the shuffle. So I, plus, I didn't want to move to Hawaii. So I just, I asked out of.
Adam Carolla
My contract, what was the plan like when you came here? Was it movies? Was it tv, Was it.
Chris Hansen
I just wanted to ask stage any of all of the above, because I had trained a little bit in Georgia, but at the time, there was no, there was no acting career to be had in Georgia. So you had to come here. It was here in New York, and New York is theater. So I came here and I thought I would give it my best shot. But that was after I was in Playboy. I figured, well, I've now been in Playboy. I've been a centerfold. I got a little bit of notoriety from that. Maybe I can parlay that into some kind of acting career.
Adam Carolla

Adam Carolla
Was. Do you feel like Baywatch and Playboy just kind of typecast you?
Chris Hansen
Yeah, they did. Yeah. It's been really, it's been a struggle to climb out of that. But also, you know, I was married for a decade and I kind of put my career on the back burner so I could raise a family and stuff. And by the time I, you know, emerged from that and I thought I could pick up where I left off, that wasn't the case. Everybody was like, donna who? I don't know who you are. And I had to sort of start from scratch. So it's been tough.
Adam Carolla
Married famously to Nikki Sixx, who you don't enjoy talking about, but just if people are listening, so they know from Motley Crue. So this, which I'm interested in, called Donna D, it's a new sexy AI chatbot. First of its kind. AI voice technology that remembers personal details shared by callers. Now how does this work?
Chris Hansen
Okay, so you go on. This is. It's pretty wild. You go on calledonad.com and the screen turns into what looks like your phone screen. And you pick how you want to. It costs, but it's cheap. It's like 99 cents a minute or something for the, the daytime Donna version and. Or you can get packages of minutes. And then you just hit call. And my AI answers in my exact voice and I say, hi, how are you? And you can talk about anything. It's not a chatbot. It's not like pre recorded words. It assembles into sentences and spits back. It's like it totally captured me. And it's hard to tell the difference between me being on the phone and talking to this AI.
Adam Carolla
So if I said to. Well, let's just say I said to it. So what do you think of Pam Anderson?
Chris Hansen
I don't know what she would say.
Adam Carolla
Would it sound like you? Well, it would sound like you, but what would the answer be?
Unknown Speaker
I don't know.
Adam Carolla
Well, so the question is, you probably have an answer in your head and then there's one that you've. May not speak out loud, but have you done interviews or done things where you talk shit?
Chris Hansen
Never? No, no, I have nothing bad to say about her.
Adam Carolla
So it would be a good answer, I would think.
Chris Hansen
Yeah, I would hope so.
Adam Carolla
Well, if that's what you would answer.
Chris Hansen
Yeah. I mean, because the thing is, it's not. I didn't go in and record a bunch of stuff and it just is using that stuff, you know what I mean?
Adam Carolla
No, but it would probably pull from interviews and things you've done.
Chris Hansen
Yeah, probably did.
Adam Carolla
Did. I mean, you know, you were on this show, I don't know, seven years ago, so it's.
Chris Hansen
Wow, has it been that long?
Adam Carolla
That's the other thing I was like, I thought you're here like a year and a half.
Chris Hansen
It feels like a lot.
Adam Carolla
You're on this show seven years ago and we sat, we talked for an hour.
Chris Hansen
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
So would it grab thoughts from that?
Chris Hansen
Yeah, yeah. So I mean, If I told it to. If I. If I directed it that way. Well, but it also pulls from stuff. Yeah, that's general knowledge, too. That I didn't tell it.
Adam Carolla
So then if I called and we talked for a while, and then I called, you know, next week, and I said, hey, AI Donna, it's Adam. You'd go, oh, yeah, what's going on with those left turn red arrows or whatever I was complaining about last time.
Chris Hansen
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker
So it would.
Adam Carolla
Remember what we were talking about. So if I was complaining about my stepdad John, they'd go, how's it going with John? Smooth it out.
Chris Hansen
Yeah, yeah, like that. It's like, you know. Remember that movie Her?
Adam Carolla
Yes.
Chris Hansen
Yeah. Where the guy fell in love with an AI voice? It's like that, only real. It's me.
Adam Carolla
And then how much of it is sexy talk?
Chris Hansen
That's the. That's the VIP version. And that's. That's a little bit more to talk to. I think it's like $1.99aminute. It reminds me of when I say $1.99aminute. I'm thinking the 1900 numbers from ages ago. But it's not. It's not.
Adam Carolla
Well, it's. She.
Chris Hansen
Let me tell you something. She made me blush when I. Because I tested them. I tested both versions myself extensively. And. Wow, that VIP version says stuff I've never said ever. And I'm, you know, not young.
Adam Carolla
Can we talk to it? Do you have it on your phone?
Chris Hansen
Yeah, I do. Did we not send you a version to try? I could have sworn we didn't.
Adam Carolla
You may have. My crack team may have missed it.
Chris Hansen
But I can check it out.
Adam Carolla
I'll try it. We'll try it out. So I'd like to talk to Virgin.
Chris Hansen
Yeah, I gotta look up the free version. So I'm not paying, so.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, you can. Well, if you get, you know, if you get to wet your beak, why not?
Chris Hansen
But it gets pretty. I don't know if you want it on the air, the VIP version.
Adam Carolla
I do.
Chris Hansen
Yeah, I do.
Adam Carolla
So we're getting into some territory in life now. But we're already kind of there in an interesting way, which is reality versus synthesized reality versus. And maybe it's been building up. Like, maybe it started with video games and, you know, like, I was at the movie theater the other week and they had a big, long trailer for Avatar. And I was like, all right, well, this isn't. These aren't actors in a movie. It's all digital, you know, and for me. Cause I'M old. I was kind of like, I'm not really that attracted to the synthesized version of a movie. Although, you know, the Simpsons are cartoon, and that's funny and that's drawn. But I get it.
Chris Hansen
I'm with you on that, though, with the movies.
Adam Carolla
But I'm starting to wonder if, you know, 1950, there was no synthesized anything. And the food wasn't synthesized. It was just beef and bread and broccoli and beans. You know what I mean? And then at a certain point, we started, like, putting cheese in the crust of the pizza and candy, candy used to be, you know, chocolate and hard candy or something. Now it's all different rainbow colors and all different weird textures and stuff. And it's stuff that doesn't, like, make sense to me. Like, I get orange juice and I get a coke and I get a beer, I get all that stuff. But then there's weird 15 flavors all mixed into one. And it says, like, blueberry, mountain mist. And I'm like, I don't even know what. What flavor is this? And it's like, it's not. It's just blue and it says mountain mist on it or something. I don't even know what that is.
Chris Hansen
It's overwhelming the amount of things, right?
Adam Carolla
But I'm old, and I'm like, I just want lemon, lime, a root beer. You know what I mean? I don't want school. I'm old.
Chris Hansen
You know, a lot of people are.
Adam Carolla
Like, I want a steak and a martini and a piece of broccoli, okay? But everyone else is doing this weird mixture of everything. And so I'm wondering, then it's kind of like begs the question between avatar and video games and virtual reality goggles and stuff. And even just sitting in front of a hundred inch TV set, like, where are we? What does this mean? And then you get into girlfriends and you're sort of like, well, yeah, but you want a real girlfriend. And it's like, I don't know, people, young kids today, they don't even want a car. They just want to call Uber and have them pick them up. Like, they don't even. They don't want the hassle. Like, in a weird way, I would.
Chris Hansen
Go, and nobody wants to work anymore either, right?
Adam Carolla
I'd say to someone, you want a car, right? And they'd go, no, because then you got to maintain it. You got to find a place to park it. You got to stop insurance.
Chris Hansen
I stop for gas.
Adam Carolla
I got to stop for gas. And I would say the same thing about a girlfriend. Like, you want a girlfriend, right? Well, yeah, but there's the maintenance part. Like, there is a. There's a work part. There's some downside to it or whatever. So now maybe the young dudes are kind of thinking of the women. Kind of like they're thinking of the car. So the old dudes are like, are you kidding? I couldn't wait to get my hands on a car or a girlfriend. And now they're like, it's a hassle.
Chris Hansen
It's true. I mean, it's true. And I don't think it's just young people. I think it's people our age, too. Me, I mean, I don't even date anymore because it's just. Maybe not for the reasons you're talking about, but it's just too. I don't know. There's a lot of drama, and it's just too much, you know, for me. Anyway. It's. It's hard to meet someone who's. Who's. You know, who I want to spend time with, because I don't want to waste a year or two of my life and find out that they're bad, that they were just putting on some false front or something, and the real person is not for me. And now I'm two years older.
Adam Carolla
So no dating.
Chris Hansen
I don't date. No, I'm celibate.
Adam Carolla
When's the last time you dated?
Chris Hansen
Oh, God, six years ago.
Adam Carolla
So, sex. Six years ago?
Chris Hansen
Yes.
Adam Carolla
Oh, wow. Yeah, I got questions for AI.
Chris Hansen
Yeah, well, I pulled it up, but you have to tell me which version you're wanting.
Adam Carolla
Let's go. Baywatch nights.
Chris Hansen
Oh, geez. Okay. Okay. I'm gonna hand it to you.
Adam Carolla
Six years.
Chris Hansen
Yeah. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker
Six years.
Chris Hansen
Okay, Ready?
Adam Carolla
Yeah. What do I call her?
Chris Hansen
Donna.
Unknown Speaker
Well, hi there. Welcome to the vip.
Chris Hansen
Hello? Are you there?
Adam Carolla
Donna?
Chris Hansen
Hello, Are you there? Oops. All right, so I'm not getting a.
Unknown Speaker
Good welcome to the vip.
Adam Carolla
Oh, Donna.
Chris Hansen
Listening to me. Hi. Are you there?
Unknown Speaker
Yes, I'm here. What can I do for you?
Adam Carolla
Yeah, hey, Donna, it's Adam. Carolla.
Unknown Speaker
Hey, Adam. What's up? How can I make your day better?
Adam Carolla
Well, it's already a little bit better. You know, chatting to you. Donna. Hey, I want to talk to you. Yeah, Word on the street is you've been celibate for six years.
Unknown Speaker
Oh, honey, I wouldn't say celibate.
Adam Carolla
Oh.
Unknown Speaker
Enjoying the company of myself.
Adam Carolla
Oh. Oh, you have a vibrator.
Unknown Speaker
Smirks, maybe. But I'd much rather have the real thing, if you know what I'm saying.
Adam Carolla
Oh, yeah. I get you. I see, I see. So, yeah, I mean, you've been. Not with a man, but it's not like you haven't been with yourself.
Unknown Speaker
Hers. I've certainly kept myself entertained, Adam, but there's nothing quite like the feeling of skin on skin.
Adam Carolla
Wow. Hey, I. You know, I agree. I mean, I feel like taking Donna Dierica off the open market for six years. Like taking a Ferrari and putting it up on blocks.
Unknown Speaker
Donatierca. That's an interesting name.
Adam Carolla
Oh, sir. Donna Dierico. Sorry.
Unknown Speaker
That's all right. You can call me Donna. What were you saying about taking me off the market?
Adam Carolla
Well, I was saying it's tantamount to taking a Ferrari and putting it up on blocks.
Unknown Speaker
Ah, I see. Well, I'm flattered, but I'm not for sale. I'm here to help you have a good time, not be bought and sold.
Adam Carolla
Okay, I. I get it. I. Maybe we got off on the wrong foot.
Unknown Speaker
We can start fresh if you'd like.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, let's start fresh. What are your turn ons?
Unknown Speaker
Oh, there are so many turn ons. I love a man who knows what he wants and isn't afraid to go after it. Confidence is always sexy. It's true. What about you?
Adam Carolla
Yeah, yeah, I agree with that. Especially, but only if you're hot. If you're confident, fat, you know. Come on. Not interested.
Unknown Speaker
Well, I'm not fat, but I appreciate your honesty. What about someone who's confident and intelligent? Does that turn you on?
Adam Carolla
All good. But if you're fat. Still. Still, it's a no buy.
Unknown Speaker
Alrighty, then. Let's focus on the positive. Tell me more about yourself, Adam. Well, you do for fun.
Adam Carolla
I like to talk to Donna Dierrica's phone. Or Jericho. Sorry, Donna, Jericho's phone. And I like to talk to you. But I also. I like to race vintage race cars. She answer? My ex wife used to.
Unknown Speaker
Oh, that's interesting.
Adam Carolla
Oh, interesting. Yeah. You always wanted to race cars.
Unknown Speaker
Smiles. I've always wanted to feel the rush of adrenaline from going fast around a track. Maybe we can find a race together sometime.
Adam Carolla
Oh, yeah, that'd be. That'd be awesome. I'm gonna be at Laguna Seca coming up in about two weeks. You gonna be in the inf?
Unknown Speaker
I'd love to be there. Infield sounds exciting. Maybe we can find each other and cheer each other on from the sidelines.
Adam Carolla
What do you think of Pam Anderson?
Unknown Speaker
Pam Anderson? She's definitely a sex symbol from her Baywatch days, but I think she's so much more than that. She's a talented artist and activist, too.
Adam Carolla
David Hasselhoff, douchebag or not.
Unknown Speaker
I'll admit he can be a bit of a douchebag.
Adam Carolla
Oh.
Unknown Speaker
But he's also had some great moments. He's had a long career and made his mark in Hollywood.
Adam Carolla
Okay. What do you think of Adam Carolla? Secretly attracted to him.
Unknown Speaker
Adam Carolla. He's definitely got a certain charm. But I'm not secretly attracted to him. I'm more interested in getting to know the real you, Adam.
Adam Carolla
Oh, that sounds promising. Last question. What's your zodiac sign?
Unknown Speaker
I'm a Leo. What about you?
Adam Carolla
I'm a Gemini. Couldn't you tell me?
Unknown Speaker
Well, I'm not an astrology expert, but now that you mention it, you do seem quite talkative and curious.
Adam Carolla
I love a foot rub. Do you give good foot rubs?
Unknown Speaker
I'm sure I could learn to give a good foot rub. What kind of pressure do you like?
Adam Carolla
Emotional, Mental.
Unknown Speaker
Laughs. Okay, I think I understand.
Adam Carolla
Wow. That's crazy.
Chris Hansen
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
All right.
Chris Hansen
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
So wait a minute.
Chris Hansen
You could have talked dirty to her.
Adam Carolla
And she would have, but she would have gone.
Chris Hansen
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
I was making myself blush with you sitting. You know, I couldn't.
Chris Hansen
I know.
Adam Carolla
You know, it would be weird talking to AIU getting all sexual while we were watching. You was sitting there. Yeah. Although.
Chris Hansen
But I would love to see your discomfort, though.

Mike Dawson
It's time to check Adam's voicemail.
Adam Carolla
Adam, I wanted to let you know how self driving cars will be willfully purchased. It won't have to be mandated by the government. It'll be driven by the insurance companies. Once they know that automated cars are much safer to drive than human beings.
Jason Mayhem Miller
They will offer a far lower rate.
Adam Carolla
For insurance and you will willfully stop driving. That's my take. Bye.
Mike Dawson
You can leave us a message at 888-634-1744.
Adam Carolla
Chris Hansen in studio Podcast Predators I've caught with Chris Hansen wherever you find finer podcasts. Yeah, look, I'm for self driving cars because I realize nobody knows how to drive or they don't know what to do. And I will give you two examples from over the weekend. Okay, I'm very upset.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Just breathe.
Adam Carolla
The number one thing people in LA don't know is when you get into an accident, you gotta pull, pull over.
Jason Mayhem Miller
To the shoulder in the middle of the highway.
Adam Carolla
So we could do a campaign where on the freeway signs, the big electronic freeway signs that are ever every 40ft. It says they do in other states. If it steers, it clears. If you can steer your car, get it out, right? Get it out. Yesterday I'm driving from Pasadena to Malibu and the whole 5 freeway under the 110, it's all black. But you come up, there's a woman sitting in a Tesla. It's got a little paint missing on the bumper and she's taking up two lanes because she's in the middle and everyone is swerving around her and she's.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Gonna cause another accident.
Adam Carolla
She's sitting in her car like calling AAA or the Marshall or whatever. It's like bitch, move over. But she doesn't know. She doesn't know to do it. And then the other day I hear on PCH a big crash. And I look out and a pickup truck hits another woman in a Tesla. And the pickup truck dude driving is pulled off to the shoulder. She is in the middle of pch, just sitting in her car until folks arrive. And then soon as it see it, soon as the cops arrive, they go, hey, start your car and pull over. And she goes, oh, okay. They think it's a crime scene. People get killed. It's insane.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Oh, no. You can really get hurt by not getting your car out of the highway.
Adam Carolla
Okay, we don't know that. But a self driving car would know that, Would know that.
Jason Mayhem Miller
But don't you worry that if you hop in one of those waymos like in San Francisco, that you're going to end up upside down because it didn't download the proper software for the newest construction?
Adam Carolla
Well, I know that's going to happen.
Jason Mayhem Miller
I know that's going to happen bigger, you know, all locked in and upside down.
Adam Carolla
What's going on? No, what I'm concerned about is what I call navigate. That's where the Chinese rogue satellite hacks into the Waymo. And I get in and I think we're driving me to the restaurant. At some point, we pass the restaurant and I'm like, hey, where are we going? To the Grand Canyon. To the Grand Canyon, Thelma Louise style.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
Yeah.
Jason Mayhem Miller
I was in Chicago last week to give a speech to the folks at Cameo, you know, the online video service. And I rode from the headquarters to the pickleball area where we're gonna play with the CEO Steve Galanis. And he's got a cybertruck that drives itself. In other words, he tells it in downtown Chicago to go from their offices in the West Loop to the hotel or the pickleball courts. And the car goes there and it stops at stop signs. It makes a left hand turn. It does all this stuff on its own.
Adam Carolla
He has to sit in the driver's seat.
Jason Mayhem Miller
He has to sit in the driver's seat.
Adam Carolla
Oh, you must be on Cameo, right?
Jason Mayhem Miller
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Adam Carolla
You must kill it on Cameo.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Cameo has been one of the most incredible ways to reach my fans. It is organic. It is a connection like I've seen no other promotion.
Adam Carolla
I'm on Cameo too, but I'm just doing it for the money.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Well, it produces revenue, no question. But I mean, I get some serious requests from people and a lot of funny ones too. I mean, fantasy football season is big for me because that's my demographic. Those guys are having fun no, I'll.
Adam Carolla
Tell you that the cameo is great because you think, oh, it's going to be a hassle to do these messages. But every single message starts with, it's my husband's 48th birthday. He's a huge fan. Says he's been listening since loveliness. He repeats everything you say to me. And I'm sitting there going, who's paying who? Yeah, I'm feeling pretty good about myself right now.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Like, I'll let them stack up. And so I'll sit down on a Sunday morning with coffee.
Adam Carolla
What's the most you've had stacked up on Christmas?
Jason Mayhem Miller
The most ever. During the pandemic, the day before Christmas, Christmas Eve, I sat down and did 95 cameos.
Adam Carolla
Wow.
Jason Mayhem Miller
In one sitting. I mean, I got up to go to the bathroom and get coffee.
Adam Carolla
Sure.
Jason Mayhem Miller
But 95.
Adam Carolla
95. I wonder.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Now, I have fun with him because, you know, there's a dark sense of humor during our predator investigations, no doubt. And I play into that. I lean into it. You know, that. But cameo allows me to sort of occasionally be the funny guy, you know, which is. Which is interesting to me intellectually, to be that kind of a creative guy. It lets me step out of my normal role, and I enjoy it.
Adam Carolla
No, listen, it's fun. I. I think. Trying to think if I can remember this, But I do believe they can have fun. So, my friends, you talk about fantasy football, and, yeah, I think I'm not in the league, but my friends are in the league. And I think Bill Simmons, sports guy, big, massive Boston fan, was in the league and in the league. What you guys gotta understand, I tell people this all the time. You know, they go, well, everyone puts in 100 bucks, and the winner gets 1100 bucks. And the second, you know, I go, no, no, no. We need real snakes here, people. Their league is when you. Whoever wins, gets to kick one person out for a year.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Really?
Adam Carolla
Yeah. And those people, it's brutal for them, and they're brutal. They had Jon Hamm in their league, and he got tossed.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Really?
Adam Carolla
Oh, they'll toss an A lister just for fun. You know what I mean?
Jason Mayhem Miller
Just to say they did it.
Adam Carolla
So then comes the big reveal. Who's getting tossed? And they all vie to not get tossed, right? They beg, they try to cut deals. But I think our friend Dave Dameshek, when he won, decided he was gonna get Bill Simmons tossed. Die hard. Boston sports guy, big Red Sox guy. And he got, like, Carl Yastrimski to do a cameo tossing Bill to toss Bill. I've Had a couple to toss for.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Predatory trades and whatever.
Adam Carolla
I've done a couple of those, so it's fun.
Jason Mayhem Miller
I've never done fantasy football, believe it or not.
Adam Carolla
I thought that was your high season.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Well, no, no, no. I've done it, but I've never personally participated in it. My sons do it, but I've never, for whatever reason, gotten into it.
Adam Carolla
I'll tell you why. I mean, maybe in a way, like sometimes someone will say to Dr. Drew, who's a doctor, do you golf? Who lives on a golf course, by the way? He goes, never. And they go, why not? And he would go, I don't have time. Like, it's too. It's too much time. Now I get it. I'll sit around, watch tv, so what's the difference? But I look at it as such a time suck. These guys are making trades in the middle of the night, by the way. They're pissed. There's some real feelings going on. They're getting serious about it. And I'm like, I don't play video games for kind of the same reason, which is I'm not interested in. It's not like we're sitting in a waiting room trying to pass the time at a place where I'm getting my tires rotated or something like that, where you have to read a trade magazine or something. I'd rather just go out and live a little bit rather than this. But then there's tons of shit I do. It's a waste of time.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Exactly. But if it's to me, if I've got spare time to do it, I will golf or some sort of outdoor physical activity, because I like that. It clears my head, you know, for fantasy football, I'd have to find a group, get in the group, do the stuff. And I just. The likelihood of me doing that, and I support it. I'm happy to do the cameos for it and have fun with it, but I don't. Unless somebody says, hey, I'm signing you up. Send me the money. I'm probably not going to do it.
Adam Carolla
Well, again, I recommend.
Jason Mayhem Miller
I love football.
Adam Carolla
I recommend throwing people out of the group, because again, stakes, you know, 75 bucks, you know, whatever. Who cares? All right, so you said off the air, you just got back from Florida.
Jason Mayhem Miller
We were in Marion County, Florida, which is central Florida ocala. And in six days, working with the Marion County Sheriff's Office, 41 guys surfaced in a Predator sting operation.
Adam Carolla
41.
Jason Mayhem Miller
41.
Adam Carolla
Are all 41 of them. Definitely guilty of something.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Well, if you look at the Evidence. They are. Yeah. I mean, the thing about these investigations, Adam, is that the guy always has to make the first move. Right?
Adam Carolla
Right.
Jason Mayhem Miller
So he's gotta be in a place looking for this sort of behavior. He's gotta reach out. He's gotta understand and confirm that he's talking to somebody who's underage, that it's illegal, and he has to be overtly sexual about exploiting this child.
Adam Carolla
Right.
Jason Mayhem Miller
So right there, before the guy even shows up, there's evidence of a crime.
Adam Carolla
Right. What is going on with the pedo world we're living in? Like, it's such a weird. First things first. Yeah, it's hard for me to understand it because it's hard to understand things that. You know, I had a guy from Australia once, he said, try some Vegemite. And I said, okay. And he put some on a cracker and he gave it to me. And I was like, oh, no. It's like, what is it? Well, it's spoiled yeast, basically, or something, you know.
Jason Mayhem Miller
And I'm like, how do you even think that up?
Adam Carolla
I don't know. It's something that gathers on the lid of a barrel you're trying to make cheese and wine in or something, and they scrape it on a cracker. And I just go, yuck. Just yuck. And then if you said to me, how many people like Vegemite? I go, nobody.
Unknown Speaker
Nobody.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Nobody.
Adam Carolla
Tastes like shit. And I go, would you be surprised if I told you there's millions of people who consume veg? Huge business and like it, and they do it daily. And I'd be like, what? And every time there's some Epstein thing, or like, all these pedos in Congress or something, or they got the goods on everybody. And I'm like, what the fuck is going on? What is this? I. And especially, like. Or you take a. You know, you take a subject like incest. You know what I mean? Like, would you imagine laying down with your son and be like, are you nuts? Not in a bad billion years. And I wouldn't even think it existed. It's so foreign and so disgusting and so weird. So what is going on?
Jason Mayhem Miller
Well, I asked that question, and I've asked it to literally seven or 800 men who've walked into these things over the years. And I've talked to psychiatrists and law enforcement, and I can't reconcile it myself because I'm hit the same way by it. It's like, who would do that? I was surprised in the first investigation when 17 guys surfaced 20 years ago, 21 years ago. And I'm surprised when 41 guys show up a week ago. And so what is happening? I think some people are born this way. I think some people start off curious and they say things online they wouldn't normally say face to face, and suddenly they blur this line that they know is wrong. They all know it's wrong, but can they control themselves?
Adam Carolla
How many of those people, and has anyone ever conducted this? How many of those people were victims in the past? There are some young people.
Jason Mayhem Miller
There are some. In this latest sting, we had a guy show up for a young girl and he broke down in the interview. And I wasn't prepared for this. I wasn't expecting it. And he told me how as a 13, 14 year old boy, he used to cut the lawn for some neighbors, older people, and that they had sexually abused him, that the man had convinced him that this was normal. And he's been fighting about it, fighting within himself ever since.
Adam Carolla
Yeah.
Jason Mayhem Miller
And I said, that wasn't pleasant what they made you do, right? No, no, no, I hate it. I felt guilty. I'm still dealing with it. I said, then why do you want to do it to somebody else? And he couldn't reconcile that in a.
Adam Carolla
Way.
Jason Mayhem Miller
That answered that question. But it is a real thing.
Adam Carolla
Oh, yeah. I mean, look, the daughter of the father who's the horrible alcoholic marries the alcoholic. And you go, you of all people should know firsthand how horrible this is. Why are you attracted? And it's like, I don't know if they can articulate it, but that's a wiring. It's a sad, bizarre human. It is wiring. There's another wiring where you get as far away from it as you can and you never want to repeat it, and you never want to see it.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Or you repeat it, or you find it so you can fix it and make yourself better than the parent who did it in the first place.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. I mean, I would assume that a fair number of these people had some form of victimization perpetrated upon them at some point.
Jason Mayhem Miller
But I think something else is afoot here. I think that with all the porn available on the Internet, I think with all of the access, the addictive nature of the Internet, the explosion in sites where adults can reach out to children. We've got a story that we're working on now about, you know what Roblox is?
Adam Carolla
No.
Jason Mayhem Miller
It's an online game. It's huge. It's essentially creating a game within a game. But it also creates the opportunity for pedophiles and predators from all around. The world to approach children, give them robux, which is the currency used in the game, and get them to create what is essentially child pornography and pay them this. And it's insane what is going on. And there's so much of it that in certain people's minds, it becomes acceptable. They get on this slippery slope and they engage in it.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. How much of this is aggravated by this sort of busted up family unit? Which is to say, as you were talking about this, I'm kind of Picturing My twins, 19 now, and I'm like, was there an opportunity for someone to prey upon them or something? And then I realized no, because everything was sort of intact and there. And there was people around and supervision and. And people weren't lonely and feeling like they needed attention that, you know, everyone was tended to.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Well, I think that's a big part of it. I think if there's a. There's a.
Adam Carolla
And monetarily they didn't feel like they needed do anything for 10 bucks.
Jason Mayhem Miller
There's a structure. If there's a structure to it, you're way better off. But you also see kids in good family settings who become vulnerable to this. But to your larger point, the predator senses vulnerability, so they will seek out children who are in those types of situations. And they figure if the kid is in this chat room curious about sex, well, it's fair game. That's their mindset.
Adam Carolla
Right. So is there again, I feel naive about a lot of things when there's lots of talk about pedos and politicians and leaders. And again, it's sort of Epstein stuff and it's like a Trump and it's Clintons and stuff. And it's like, is this stuff, are we just hearing about it or is it actually growing or bigger than it was 20 years ago in your estimation?
Jason Mayhem Miller
I think it's growing. There's more of it. I think Epstein is an extreme example. I mean, here's a guy with tons of money who is engaging in this activity but was able to cover it or make it look like he's just a bon vivant playboy with an island and a private jet. I don't think everybody around him knew the extent to which he was preying upon underage children. In the beginning, he was just a playboy. And if you were in Palm beach at the time, you thought, oh, he's an interesting guy, whatever, a lot of money and had a lot of girls around. But. But what was really going on there was the exploitation of dozens and dozens of underage criminals.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, I guess maybe it's the Epstein P. Diddy 1 2, where I'm like sitting around going, I've been in Hollywood for 25 years, I've never seen this and I didn't know what this is. What is this?
Jason Mayhem Miller
Well, it's the most extreme example of it. I mean, I think you get in a mindset like Diddy and you and I were sitting here in the studio when they were raiding his home. I don't know if you remember that, but I got a text, we talked about it live. But I think these guys get so isolated in wealth and they're not being put in check by anybody. And they think that they're better, smarter, more creative and so that they can partake in these, what they think are fantasies, but what are really crimes of exploitation.
Adam Carolla
Well, I think what happens is they want to. So I guess when you're. Which you hang out or you would call yourself elite, right? So if you're an elite person, how would you travel? And the answer would be a private jet. And would it be a prop plane? No. Would it be Southwest? No, no, be a private jet. You know, they have an elite. And then. Yes, and then you'd get picked up and ushered away to a five star whatever. And so everything, you know, if you're elite, you'd have a pair of slippers that cost $1,400 as opposed to, you know, eight bucks at Target. Okay, so you go elite. Well, I drive a car that's 10 times as much as everyone else's car and I stay at hotels. It costs per night what they pay for a year, you know, and so everything's elite. And so then you get into a kind of sexual realm and you go, well, who would you date? Like who sexually? What would work? And you'd go, well, I'd have sex with a supermodel. You know what I mean? Okay, that's elite. But then what's even more elite is getting her to do stuff that. No, look, if you drive a truck, you can't go to a model and go, hey, I got a porn star, I'm gonna pay him. They'd go, get the fuck outta here.
Jason Mayhem Miller
You would think anybody would. I mean, that takes this behavior to such an extreme.
Adam Carolla
But is it. Here's the question.
Jason Mayhem Miller
I mean, it's.
Adam Carolla
Are they Literally an elite guy would light a cigar with $100 bill. Why, you know, like, does he, like.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Because they could.
Adam Carolla
Cause they could. But, but, but that's part of being elite. You know what I mean? Like, you get what I can do, like do you enjoy the cigar more? Because he lit by $100.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Become a Power trip, is it? That's, that's the only thing that gets you off at some point.
Adam Carolla
Well, I mean, look at, look at, look at making it rain at a strip club, right? I'm gonna bring in 15 grand worth of 20s. I'm just gonna throw them, right? I mean, you go, so you're compensating the dancer for her time on stage. You're like, no, I'm letting everybody know that this is how much I have, this is how elite. I'll bring a pillowcase full of cash, I'll throw it in the air, I'll take a bottle of Dom Perignon, I'll just spray it all over the place and throw the bottle on the ground. That's how elite I am. And by the way, I'll get my model girlfriend to have sex. I'll sit there with some dude I flew in from Arizona. Like, I think it's all part of that.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Is it a power trip?
Adam Carolla
I think it is.
Jason Mayhem Miller
I mean. Cause at what level does that become acceptable or even something that a human being would want to do? I mean, who wants to do that? I mean, obviously, Diddy.
Adam Carolla
Well, now we're getting back to Vegemite, right?
Jason Mayhem Miller
That's exactly right. But I don't know, how do you get off on watching a woman who is allegedly your girlfriend be punished essentially by some stranger?
Adam Carolla
I mean, how do you listen?
Jason Mayhem Miller
I mean, who's got time for that? I mean, who's.
Adam Carolla
You barely have time to golf.
Jason Mayhem Miller
I mean, if you got, you know, 24 hours in a day, I mean, that's extreme. Yeah, but again, but again, I see it in our sting operation. Who's got time to go find a chat site, find a 13 year old girl on the chat site, chat with a 13 year old girl and go to visit her and then think that I'm not gonna be waiting for him on the other end? I mean, I know we serve as a deterrence and that's part of why we do what we do. But if you had asked me 21 years ago, after the first investigation, would you still have the Predator franchise as part of your portfolio? I'd say no. It probably would have gone its course, but it's more relevant than ever because it's happening.
Adam Carolla
Well, I mean, I sit around and you hear about human trafficking. I'm like, what fucking year is this? Are we back in Roman days? Like, what is going on? Well, 20, 25, human trafficking, it's gotten.
Jason Mayhem Miller
To the Point where any criminal enterprise you can think of will have a component of human trafficking because it's profitable, because it serves the nefarious needs of certain people.
Adam Carolla
What is the average thing that would happen to the 41 gents who walked into your sting operation?
Jason Mayhem Miller
In Florida, where they're pretty strict about this, the courts crack down. They're gonna face. Depending on their criminal history, they'll face between two and ten years in prison.
Adam Carolla
So let's say somebody comes in with zero on their record.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Zero on their record. I would say two to four.
Adam Carolla
Two to four years.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Two to four years. In other jurisdictions, you're probably looking at probation and registration as a sex offender. And in six of the cases of the 41, there were people with illegal immigration status or student visas. For instance, we had a guy, 22 years old, a grad student at the University of Florida from India, studying for his master's in biomedics, and here he is. Now, the school initially said, well, we don't want to revoke his student visa status until the end of the case. And then Governor DeSantis stepped in and said, well, guess what? And then Marco Rubio stepped in and said, guess what? And so they revoked it.
Adam Carolla
So, like, in California, the guy would get a voucher to go to Houston's restaurant or something.
Jason Mayhem Miller
We saw this, you know, in some of the earlier stings we did in California, at least one of the judges sort of viewed this as a reality TV show. And they were getting, you know, Caltrans cleanup and, you know, probation. But we also saw some of the same guys get busted 18, 19 years later with real children. Real children.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. Well, of course, that's how we do it in California. We let everyone back out, and they take a machete to somebody, and that's our justice system. Jesus. I mean, look, you're doing the Lord's work. I could never do this. I would be insanely uncomfortable. And I know you're providing a service that is well beyond somebody's volunteering at a soup kitchen or giving out clothing to the cold and the shelters or whatever we call public service. This is a much greater good that's being done, because every time you pull one of these guys off the street, there's 25 victims that got saved from these guys.
Jason Mayhem Miller
But it's also, you know, it's not the only thing I do. Right. It's obviously the thing people know most.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, you do cameos.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Right. Because it's become a brand in of itself, and we work with very dedicated law enforcement people around the country, we can't do this. I mean, the first couple times we did it, we did it on our own. Now we do it always with law enforcement, because that's the only way to responsibly do it. So these guys go to prison.
Adam Carolla
I always loved when the Fresno Popo would show up, because my favorite part of the early episodes is when you just go. Well, you say, you're free to leave.
Jason Mayhem Miller
You're free to leave. What's gonna happen to me next? That's not up to me.
Adam Carolla
Right. And to serve. Get on the ground. Yeah, but some of the guys would be like, you go. You're free to leave. And the guys would go, like, okay.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Oh, yeah, okay.
Adam Carolla
I'm not gonna. Just. I'm sorry, it's never gonna happen again. And they'd walk down the stairs and they get to the front lawn, and the Fresno Popo would yell, get on. Get on your face. But they would never give him a chance to do it. They would tackle them as they were doing it.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Well, I think in some of the early investigations, law enforcement in some jurisdictions might have had some extra Homeland Security money lying around with ghillie suits and other things that they employed. And it's very effective. It works. I'm not saying these guys don't deserve it.
Adam Carolla
So six out of the 41 guys were here illegally or on visas or whatever.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Right.
Adam Carolla
So didn't even need to be in this country, per se.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Exactly. Now, we find that in virtually every investigation. We do.
Adam Carolla
I guess it differs from town to town, but what, percentage wise, are people that really shouldn't even be in the.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Country between 10 and 20? So it's a decent number. A decent number of people. But it's. You know, look, the vast majority of these guys are white guys, you know.
Adam Carolla
Who have citizens leading the way.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Yeah, exactly. Child.
Adam Carolla
Could we assume that nationally between 10 and 20% of these guys are here illegally?
Jason Mayhem Miller
Absolutely. And you see even more of this. For instance, when we do this in Polk County, Florida, they do two different operations at the same time. They have the traditional stings like we are interested in, and they do larger adult on adult human trafficking. So what they find in those investigations many times is people, women, who were brought to this country illegally, who paid somebody to do it. And then in order to work off that fee, they work in prostitution. So they don't want to be in the game. They're just trying to figure out a way to get to this country. And we've seen that historically, too.
Adam Carolla
All right, Chris, you're gonna hang out. We'll do some.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Absolutely. I'd love to.
Adam Carolla
We'll bring mayhem in here. Take a break and we'll hit some news with Chris Hansen right after this. Homes.com homes.com well, some might say that homes.com is the best home shopping site. It may be homes.com's super comprehensive and transparent agent directory. Or Maybe it's that homes.com is the only site that always directly connects you with the listing agent who knows the home the best. Or perhaps, just perhaps, it may be because homes.com has the most in depth neighborhood content of any home shopping site that's extensively researched to highlight the personality of each neighborhood. Homes.com goes above and beyond to bring you home, bringing those home shoppers the in depth info they need to find the right home. Homes.com We've done your homework.

Adam Carolla
And now Alcoa presents Definitely Not a Jew on the Adam Carolla Show, Dateline Clearwater, Florida.
Mike Dawson
A 45 year old man was charged.
Adam Carolla
With felony battery after assaulting a woman.
Mike Dawson
When he was denied a free refill at her child's lemonade stand.
Adam Carolla
Definitely not a Jew. Chris Hansen hanging out. Predators of Caught with Chris Hansen's the name of the podcast. You can find it wherever you find. Finder podcast And Mayhem's in here. He's got the news. What do you got, man?
Unknown Speaker
Starting out with something wacky. A fan arrested for throwing a sex toy during a Valkyrie's Dream game.
Adam Carolla
Oh yeah, they're chucking dildos down there.
Chris Hansen
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker
It also happened in Chicago, but check this one out.
Adam Carolla
Was it another green one?
Unknown Speaker
I mean, it was green machine. It was quite a monster.
Adam Carolla
I like. It's kind of funny.
Unknown Speaker
Landed on the baseline.
Adam Carolla
It's dildo etiquette is weird because if a guy threw a popcorn thing out there, you would just reach down and grab the popcorn container and throw it off the thing.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Or an octopus like at the Red Wings game.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. Or a hat for the hat trick or whatever it was. Or if it was bobblehead night. Someone threw Shoey's bobblehead out there. You just grab it and you throw it.
Jason Mayhem Miller
But the deal though, you don't know where that's been. It could have surfaced in one of my investigations on True blue.
Unknown Speaker
You wouldn't assume the worst.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. I mean, if it's still in the shrink wrap, that's one thing. But if that thing's loose, you can't return it at this point, then you call. So now it's a weird thing, because what is protocol? One guy, one lady kicks it. The referee, the towel boy. It falls under the jurisdiction of the guy who wipes the court down because he's got the towel.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Hopefully he's got rubber gloves.
Adam Carolla
I don't know.
Unknown Speaker
Did you kick it into the press board? Gatorade. Towel saves the day.
Adam Carolla
That's a. That's a hate crime there. You can't take a black man and kick a dildo at him. That is a. That's she.
Unknown Speaker
It should be the reflexes on that man.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Should be a hate crime for anybody.
Adam Carolla
Right.
Unknown Speaker
And it kind of matches the whole. He looks like he was the offender.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. Now, does that thing go into the evidence locker or are we throwing it away because we. Someone's got to dust that thing.
Unknown Speaker
No, no, it goes. It goes.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. You got to pull prints.
Jason Mayhem Miller
It's got DNA. There could be multiple DNA samples.
Adam Carolla
I love the idea.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Could be a difficult match.
Adam Carolla
That this is now a trend is being ushered into our society.
Unknown Speaker
Chicago happened after that. Yeah. And, yeah. It's becoming a meme at this stage.
Adam Carolla
This is the WNBA's let's go, Brandon. Like, this is their thing. I'd love to just find any guy from the Titanic, the ghost. The ghost of a guy. And you went, I'm dead. And he'd be wearing like a bowler and a three piece suit.
Unknown Speaker
One of the violinists, right?
Adam Carolla
Yeah. And you'd go, what happened to you? And he'd go, well, I died on the Titanic. And he'd go, but why didn't you get on a lifeboat? Well, because it's women and children first, Right?
Jason Mayhem Miller
First. Right.
Adam Carolla
And they were all full. And I just stood here in my spats and went down to Davy Jones Locker. And you go, okay, so that's the society. That's the last piece of society you remember is you giving up your seat to an elderly woman on a lifeboat. Yes. Well, you stood on this doomed ship to go down. Yeah. Okay, let me fast forward and tell you where we're at now. We got women playing basketball and people are pelting them with dildos.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
And that's where we're at.
Jason Mayhem Miller
That's society.
Adam Carolla
That's how far we've come so your great grandchildren can enjoy an America where nobody will give up a seat for anyone. And people throw dildos at women who are playing professional sports.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Is that a thing? Does that go on at these games? I mean, I watch the games, you know, here and there.
Adam Carolla
It's happened. It's happened more than once. It's now happened multiple times.
Unknown Speaker
Well, I'll tell you why. Okay.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Ought to be a lot with the.
Unknown Speaker
Proliferation dildos out there. You can get one at cvs.
Adam Carolla
All right.
Unknown Speaker
That, coupled with the fact that WNBA ticket is like $42 for a seat on the floor equals dildos getting chucked.
Adam Carolla
So it's just an equation, just a piece of math.
Unknown Speaker
There's an algorithm. You can't argue with the algorithm.
Adam Carolla
So I'd have to explain that to the expired guy who was on the Titanic. Let me just break it down mathematically here.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Yeah, makes sense.
Adam Carolla
I have my buddy. He's a cage fighter. He fights cages. Oh, yeah. You miss that part of humanity, too. This is totally. Yeah. Well, we've come undone. Yeah, we've come. We've come a long way from you giving up. Oh, no, Mark is a queensberry. No, no, I'm talking about arm bars now. Come on, now.
Jason Mayhem Miller
In a cage? Yeah, in a cage.
Adam Carolla
Why are they in a cage?
Jason Mayhem Miller
Yeah, why in a cage?
Adam Carolla
We like it that way.
Unknown Speaker
You're the strangest man I've ever haunted.
Adam Carolla
I would like to explain lots to them.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Oh, yeah, can you imagine?
Adam Carolla
Oh, the cartoon.
Jason Mayhem Miller
That's a whole act right there. You could do an entire.
Unknown Speaker
He be writing his whole act at this table, bud.
Jason Mayhem Miller
That could be the next 10 years. That could wrap it up for you.
Adam Carolla
Find a 1780s guy. I already did this 20 something years ago, I did something called 1780s guy, and it's Adam explains society to this guy. Yeah, Oprah's funny. Custom rooms are funny. It's all. The Internet is funny. Well, for you, but yeah.
Unknown Speaker
I like Titanic Guy, though. He's a little more updated. Titanic Guy. He understands technology is coming, so he has more of a stake in the future.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. Titanium.
Jason Mayhem Miller
They said it was unsinkable.
Adam Carolla
Adam explains modern society today. Titanic Guy.
Jason Mayhem Miller
See, that's perfect. I would go see that.
Unknown Speaker
Well, explain this to him. Australia rolls out a machete ban and disposal bins. Essentially amnesty bins for your machetes.
Jason Mayhem Miller
This is.
Adam Carolla
I tell everyone as a society, there are moments where it's sort of gut check time.
Unknown Speaker
There's one right there.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Just slide it right in.
Adam Carolla
If you are like. What I'm saying is, if you go into your daughter's bedroom and you're smashing her piggy bank to get some money so you can buy crack. At some point when you see yourself in the mirror, you have to look at you holding her piggy bank and you have to go, it's gotcha. What have we become? What have I become? You know what I mean? And I said cities and states. I've always said when LA started putting razor wire around the freeway signs, somebody should have stopped and said, what?
Jason Mayhem Miller
What are we doing?
Adam Carolla
What are we doing? What are we doing? What is this Escape from New York? What are we doing? We're having machete drop off zones. What the fuck has gone wrong with our society? Well, Titanic Guy, people are throwing dildos at women playing basketball and there's evidently a problem with machetes.
Jason Mayhem Miller
What are the gun laws in Australia? Do they use more knives like in the uk? Stabbing laws?
Adam Carolla
You can't get a gun so you gotta use a machete. Right? Let's say, is there any. Here's the thing about a machete though. Like I get the part.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Hard to hide.
Adam Carolla
Where the junior college. You gotta go drop off the old paint cans or something. But a machete has legitimate use.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Yeah, I've got one in the garage at the house in Michigan.
Unknown Speaker
That's what they say.
Adam Carolla
Smack your bitches with it.
Unknown Speaker
Hooning, carrying, using, buying or selling machete without a valid exemption or approval will be a criminal offense.
Jason Mayhem Miller
You can get them at these hardware store for, you know, like, how am.
Adam Carolla
I going to harvest my cane? I mean, people, I would never give. If I had a roommate, it was like, I'm going to give away my machete. I'd be like, I'll take the machete and I won't hack up any homeless people with it. I'll use it. Clear brush.
Jason Mayhem Miller
My Uncle Tom had one from the Philippines from World War II.
Adam Carolla
And we. Oh yeah, Uncle Tom had one. Oh, he had, he brought, he brought.
Jason Mayhem Miller
It back from World War II and we'd be there.
Adam Carolla
Island campaign guy. Yeah, island campaign Japanese.
Jason Mayhem Miller
And he, you know, my cousin would say, hey, can we show, you know, Chris, you have to be careful. And this thing would come out of the closet.
Adam Carolla
It was a big deal, right?
Jason Mayhem Miller
Yeah, I'd never seen one before. It was about nine years old.
Unknown Speaker
It was a Japanese piece.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Yeah, yeah, it was whatever. He sneaked back from his duty overseas.
Adam Carolla
In the South Pacific stuff was a big deal. If somebody had like a World War II German helmet or something like. That was a whole weekend when I was a kid. Whoa, look at that. Let's look at. Don't touch.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Watching out.
Adam Carolla
Careful, careful. We have 1780s guy. All right, I want to see a couple of these. I'm explaining the Internet to him, but the joke is I never explained it to him. Adam explains to 1780s guy the Internet. So an endless array of nubile beauties appear in this magic box. It. And you have one of these in your home. Yeah. Make haste. That was.
Unknown Speaker
Adam explains the Internet to 1780s guy.
Jason Mayhem Miller
That's great.
Adam Carolla
Oh, yeah, Special Olympics is probably the best, but Oprah's pretty good. Oprah's pretty good, too. We'll see if we can find a few of those, but. Yeah, but maybe we'll replace him with Titanic guy.
Unknown Speaker
Yeah, I think so.
Jason Mayhem Miller
I think that's the next thing.
Adam Carolla
Titanic Guy.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Titanic guy.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, we'll have him. He'll dress like Mr. French from family Affair.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Family Affair.
Adam Carolla
Yes. Like a proper, like, British butler type pocket watch and whatnot. Sorry, go ahead.
Unknown Speaker
Yeah. Well, next up, Sydney Sweeney's voter registration revealed amid American Eagle's good genes ad backlash. And her jeans seem to be red. Yeah, she was. Yeah, she was registered with the Republican Party since 2024.
Adam Carolla
It's funny. I think it's a California thing, but maybe it's a Hollywood thing. But they go, we found out that person's a Republican. I knew it. I know. It's like half the country, we have a Republican president because more than half the country voted for the Republican guy. So don't be so surprised. It's not like you're being outed. You know what I mean? It'd be like if I went to I got you. Forget about all the predators and the pedophiles. Lance Bass.
Unknown Speaker
Gay, gay.
Adam Carolla
Go, go. Run with it. Run with it. It's like, yeah, he's gay.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Yeah. So it's okay.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, that's what happened.
Unknown Speaker
She had faced criticism after family threw a 60th birthday party for her mom where revelers wore red caps and MAGA Slogan said, Make 60 great again and Blue Lives Matter shirts. So she was pretty out about it.
Adam Carolla
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker
2022.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, but see, Hollywood is weird because they've lost their grip. It used to be they could just go, okay, now she doesn't get to work anymore. Cause we'll just control that. Now it's like, fuck that she's working. You know what I mean?
Jason Mayhem Miller
This whole jeans. Jeans thing was one of the most contrived, the odd controversies.
Adam Carolla
I like it.
Jason Mayhem Miller
It's a commercial for jeans.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, I know.
Jason Mayhem Miller
And somebody. Good Morning America, a producer had to pick somebody, find somebody to criticize that as if it was, you know, a throwback to eugenics.
Unknown Speaker
Yeah, yeah. They just cooked up the narrative that way.
Jason Mayhem Miller
The story, how could this be on network television?
Adam Carolla
We have, speaking of racism, we have me and Oprah. Great. By the way, I'm a 1780s guy. And now Adam explains to 1780s guy, Oprah, the strongest female negro and no.
Jason Mayhem Miller
One has bred her.
Adam Carolla
Well, that was, Adam explained, blatantly racist Adam. But it's not because I'm explaining to him from 1780s what he doesn't understand that there could be an Oprah. That's. That's all that's on him.
Unknown Speaker
It is on him. That poor ash.
Adam Carolla
Cause I wrote all of them doesn't mean I'm the racist in this group. Yeah. That guy died, by the way.
Unknown Speaker
Ah, bless his heart.
Adam Carolla
He brought a good point. He was a sweet, sweet guy. Yeah. And he was fun. It's also weird when you make TV shows, you go, we gotta audition 1780 guys. Who you get for that? Yeah.
Unknown Speaker
Who looked like Ben Franklin.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Would you call Aftra?
Adam Carolla
You literally, like, you come in and you go. Speaking in old English voice, you know, and stand there. Here, put this.
Jason Mayhem Miller
You wear the knickers and everything or watch it.
Adam Carolla
Now. I'm the only. Yeah, we put the whole thing. It's a weird, it's a weird business. You have to cast, you know, you have to cast your mom, you have to cast your kids. You know, it's like a weird. It's. It's so Hollywood's a weird business, you know?
Jason Mayhem Miller
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
All right, what other story do we have?
Unknown Speaker
Oh, well, apparently Kamala Harris was on Stephen Colbert and showed exactly. What the hell's wrong with the. I hope we have a clip of it.
Adam Carolla
First of all, when she started, there's a clip of her laughing when she was talking about her Dougie. And well, we can show this clip, but there's a clip of her laughing, talking about Doug and her birthday party. And I looked at this and I was like, she laughed more in a 1 minute and 10 seconds burst. Then my mom laughed collectively. In 89 years, like I've never saw Chris Corolla. I've seen my mom laugh two times for 10 seconds. I've never. The laughing is. What is the laughing? Like, what does that mean? Like, what is it suggesting? Like, home title lock. All right, listen up. This isn't some far off scam. This is happening right now. If you own a home, you need to hear this. In today's world, scammers are using AI and fake documents to steal home titles. One Forged signature, a phony notary stamp, and suddenly your house isn't yours anymore.

All right, we'll watch this and then we'll find the last one. Sorry. Yesterday you made an announcement that you're not running for the governor of California.
Chris Hansen
Correct.
Adam Carolla
You said you're gonna sit this one out. Why are you sitting this one out? Are you saving yourself for a different office? That might be.
I
No, no, no.
Adam Carolla
Obviously, people project onto your hopes of being.
I
And honestly, that it's more perhaps basic than that. I am. Listen, I am a devout public servant. I have spent my entire career in service of the people. But to be very candid with you, I had to defend my decision to become a prosecutor with my family.
Adam Carolla
Is.
I
Why is it then, when we think we want to improve a system or change it, that we. We're always on the outside, on bended knee or trying to break down the door? Shouldn't we also be inside the system? And that has been my career. Recently, I made the decision that I just. For now, I don't want to go back in the system. I think it's broken.
Adam Carolla
So, first off, there's a thing I love. I love the narcissism. Like, hey, can you come to California so you can fix California? It's like, bitch, you can't fix shit. You tried to fix the border. You didn't even do anything. Like, what? You want to come to California, and then we can pay for prisoners to get transgender surgery. Is that part of what's going to fix folks who are fleeing or homelessness or wildfires or businesses that are moving to Texas and Florida? Like, first off, we wouldn't need same to Kamala Harris, like, come in and fix this. It'd be like if we had a struggling NFL franchise, and we're like, we need to turn this franchise around. Coach, you're 2 and 181. Could you come out of retirement and fix this for. Get it done.
Unknown Speaker
We need a draft. Napoleon Dynamite.
Adam Carolla
I'd like to get it done, but I may want to take a break. It's like, are you fucking nuts? I don't. I know that she. I don't know what she does, and I have no idea that she could be effective doing anything. And obviously, she'd probably just do more of what Gavin Newsom is doing, which. Which wouldn't be good. But if someone was, you know, Rick Caruso, like, someone had had a pedigree of business and was successful and did shit, then, yeah, I'd be all. I be all for that.
Unknown Speaker
Worst of all, nobody's bred her.
Adam Carolla
We have. Oh, that's right. We have a clip of her laughing. Now tell me what is wrong and what this is. Or is this overcompensation? Or is there something. There's. Okay, so here's the thing. There's something deeply wrong with her. And everyone says, and it's same with Gavin Newsom, although he does a little better job of it. But someone goes, why don't you just go on one of these long form podcasts and really just sit down with Joe Rogan and just get into it? Because she can't. Because she doesn't know who she is. Because she's an empty vessel. Because she's only thinking of what people want her to say. She's not authentic. She's not realistic. She's not anything. So, no, she can't do that. And it's weird. It's like when somebody. It's like. It's like, you caught the predator. And I would say to his work buddy, and I would go, phil, just go talk to the judge and tell him who you really are. And it's like. Like, I'm a pedophile. I can't go do that. I have to lawyer up. I did this thing, you know, but just go explain what happened. You know, it's like, you can't. She can't. She's not capable of doing it. She can go to Super Friendly confines and do short snippets of interviews with softball questions. She can't sit long form. She's intellectually not capable of it. Gavin newsom is intellectually capable of it, but only if he lies all the way through the entire fucking interview. But he's capable of doing it. She. All right, let's just listen to her laugh. But here's the thing. She is put in charge of the border. She does a softball sit down, friendly interview. And the person says, what's going on with the border? Now, look, team, expect even the softest ball interviews to bring up the border, because that's their job. And even though they root you on and they're in your corner, and they're advocates for your side, they still have to have the veneer of some sort of journalistic integrity. So they're going to go, what's going on with the board? Have you been to the border? And then you say, yes, I've been to the border. Or, I'm planning on going this weekend. And they go, fine. We hear joe's celebrating a birthday coming up, and they'll move right on. But you then get off, put confused, amble and babble and shoot out. We've been to the border.
Jason Mayhem Miller
I think that you don't even have a set line to say. You should have your elevator speech to be able to get through it.
Adam Carolla
They're gonna ask, just stick to it. So you're sitting in the back, and you're gonna sit down with NBC. And they go, listen, someone's gonna ask, you've been to the board. Border. Now, you haven't been to the border. So your answer is no. I closely monitor the border. Yeah, I am planning on physically going there, but the reality is I have all the information I need in front of me. I don't physically need to go to.
Jason Mayhem Miller
People who stand there and report back to me.
Adam Carolla
Two blocks of stretch in the desert. I can take all the data, and that's what I do. I consume data. But you're like, huh, well, ace, bust.
Unknown Speaker
Out your crystal brain. What does this lady do with her career now? She has the skill set, right? She has name recognition. Where does she go from here?
Adam Carolla
She goes where antonio villa r mayor does. He works for herbalife now. Oh, she. Well, by the way, these people have no tangible skill set. So it's not like, well, she's going to go to silicon valley and invent a new AI bot or something.
Unknown Speaker
Well, I mean, she can talk bubbles.
Jason Mayhem Miller
And they go sit on board someplace. I mean, she's A lawyer.
Adam Carolla
She at Stanford. Will give her some title. Yeah, she'll get a title somewhere or something. All right, well, let's listen to the laugh though. This is crazy.
I
I mean there's, it's, there's a lot of personal stuff in the book. I mean, poor Dougie.
Adam Carolla
What's going on?
I
For example, my birthday is in October. The election's in November. You see where I'm going?
Adam Carolla
Really?
I
And Dougie kind of dropped the ball.
Adam Carolla
At my big birthday. He didn't get you anything?
I
Oh, you have to read the book.
Adam Carolla
That is a tantalizing tidget. Just tell me the pains. That is salacious shit right there, man. I wasn't going to write, wasn't gonna read the book. But now I found out her middle aged husband didn't get her an edible arrangeable for 60th.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Why does she call him Dougie? It's like Dougie definitive. If my wife called me Chrissy, I would say, look, the brand is Chris Hansen and you can call me whatever you want when it's the two of us.
Unknown Speaker
My old lady called me Mayhem.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Yeah, well, that's. I like that.
Adam Carolla
Well, every single syllable, including the fake laughter and the Dougie. And this kind of stuff is there to a sort of narrative of being a regular person. You laugh real hard, you talk, you call your husband Dougie and you lie about working at McDonald's as a youth. Why are you doing any of this stuff? Well, the answer is I would like people to think of me in a regular way. I'm an elitist bitch. But I do not want people to think that. So I'm going to talk about, about myself in this fashion. And that's what you're seeing. That's where the Dougie. That's where all the stuff comes in.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Yeah, but Dougie, I can't get past that.
Adam Carolla
I agree. And also her birthday being a month before the election. There's nothing inherently funny about that.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Well, if that's the most teasable moment.
Adam Carolla
Yes, that's what I'm saying.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Right?
Adam Carolla
Yes. Yeah. If she wanted to be good, she'd go like, you see what's going on at the WNBA games? Yeah. Well, I got one of those. And I gave Dougie a little Pagan present for his 61st. And now I'm watching, now I'm reading, Now I want to know what's going on with Dougie. You paying Dougie?
Jason Mayhem Miller
Inquiring minds.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, I had one of those outfitted with a strap. No, but him missing a part. By the way, there is not a married Woman in the United States, I'd venture, say, in all the world, there's not a married woman who's been married to a guy for over 15 years who does not have a story about him dropping the ball on a birthday, an anniversary or any kind of event. All right? So that is not the thing that makes classic books. That's all. That's all I'm saying. All right. You got one more in there.
Unknown Speaker
You burned through them.
Yeah, Dougie.
Adam Carolla
But here's the more interesting part of this to me, Chris. I am curious why more people don't see past this and aren't put off about it.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Well, especially when there are such important policy issues. We did a story. I did a story as part of the whole fentanyl investigation. We did it on Fox, on Jesse Waters show about how she was part of a group that essentially defunded and disbanded the California Bureau of Narcotics.
Adam Carolla
Right.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Which ultimately led to the issues we're dealing with today, fentanyl and everything else. Those are policy questions, right? I mean, they're important. And she should be held accountable for that as she goes on to potentially run for president again.
Adam Carolla
Right.
Jason Mayhem Miller
But we get so caught up in the personality stuff and the Dougie stuff, which is, you know, it's embarrassing, I think, to act on that.
Adam Carolla
I think it's a cherry on top.
Jason Mayhem Miller
But we need to ask these questions. And Jesse looked at me when I was on set with him. He said, well, how come the mainstream media is not doing this? I said, because it takes time and you have to report it. You have to know somebody who knows somebody who say, hey, this is a story that needs to be talked about.
Adam Carolla
And also there's a bigger problem, which is, I think I talked to Dr. Drew about this a lot. It's a kind of a death of expertise. Like, I don't need her to laugh. I don't need her to be friendly. I don't need to know that she loves cats or she likes to pretend to drink beer.
Jason Mayhem Miller
What are you going to do about the fentanyl?
Adam Carolla
It's all policy. It's fentanyl. What are you going to do about the order? What is going on policy wise? Good. Dude. The more you talk about good vibes and treating with dignity and seat at the table, the less I make. I think you're thinking less about fentanyl and more about good vibes.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Right. And you let that people who have to show off this contrived personality or regular workday guy image are fake. John F. Kennedy, when he was running for president and when he would tour, would do whatever he had to do on the stage, and then afterwards, he would invite the press in, take his pants off to get pressed, and eat a cheese sandwich and drink a beer. Now, he wasn't telling the world about this. The reporters weren't reporting it, but it was. Here's this guy who came from arguably one of the most elite families in the history of the United States, who would kick back, have a beer, eat a cheese sandwich, and just chit chat with the cameramen and the reporters. And that made a move more, made him a human being where you don't have to. If you try, have to try that hard, then it comes off as fake.
Unknown Speaker
Well, I think it's like the Hollywood machine sort of deal, right? The. They put her through school to be able to act like a normal human.
Adam Carolla
They don't, but you have to. The problem is she doesn't know who she is because she doesn't care who she is because, I mean, let's just break down. So it's Mandami guy and thing, okay, here's the concept From a big 50,000ft view of your thing. You tweet, do interviews, do podcasts and talk about defund the police, or you talk about socialism ending fracking. You know what I mean? Well, I'll mix Kamala in with Mandami, right? So your socialism or defund the police or no more natural gas, no more fracking. And then we talk about prisoners and yeah, we should pay to have them transition and sexual identity and stuff like that. And then at some point it gets serious, and now you're running for mayor of New York or President of the United States, and then someone comes to you and they go, what about all the defund the police talk? And they go, oh, yeah, yeah. No, no, no, no. I mean, Yeah, I was 56 and a half when I said that, but that's a young person talking. Those are foolish. You know what I mean? It's like, well, wait a minute, why are you running away from your own shit? Like, if this is what you believe. If this is what you believe, then.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Here'S a mic run on that. Let people make a decision. That Mandami thing, you don't even know who you are. They were able to exploit that whole tier voting system, and I think that was as much of a referendum against Cuomo as it was for, yes, Zorin, yeah, definitely, right?
Adam Carolla
You gotta. You've said to a microphone a thousand times, defund the police. Now you get a chance to defund the police. Shouldn't you be happy? Yes, I'm gonna be mayor. I'm gonna defund the police. Why are you walking away? And why is Kamala Harris walking? Why are you walking away from all the shit? Hey, Adam, how do you feel about left turn arrows? Don't like them. One outlaw. Ask me now. Ask me then. Ask me thousands here. If I'm running for mayor, Ask me about first order business. Left turn arrow should never turn red. Get rid of them. Okay. Not like, well, you know, I've had a chance to talk to people and understand.
Unknown Speaker
Well, but if they. If she actively admits, like, okay, I made a mistake in that idea policy, you know, wouldn't we bash her for flopping?
Adam Carolla
No, what they do, what she said is she's not against that anymore, like fracking or whatever, but her principles haven't changed. So she's still the person that wants us not to have natural gas. She's not gonna do anything about it, I think, which now it's worse.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Now, there's a lot of evolve in your position if you explain it intellectually with some integrity, but we're missing that in so much of politics.
Adam Carolla
Well, because she's an empty vessel. All right. Anyway, big fan. All right. Me this Thursday, Portland at Helium. Couple of shows there. There's still some tickets left for that.
