Have you noticed the way we use our phones are ironic? I mean, phones are supposed to be for communication, but we look at them more and more than we look at each other. That's ironic. That's what I'm saying. So U.S. cellular created U.S. mode to help us reconnect. It helps us use phones a little less. Ironically, a phone company wanting people to use their phones less ironic. Let's find US again with US mode from US Cellular. Visit uscellular.com builtforus to get started.

Excited. Very funny comedian. He'll be in soon. Mayhem's hanging out. Do the news as well. I got a lot to get into here, Mayhem.
Jason Mayhem Miller
All right, I'm listening.
Adam Carolla
Lots of things. All right, First, I went out and have been doing my vlog, my video log, and people seem to be responding to it and enjoying it. I have not been. I've been going out and documenting what's going on with the Malibu fire and making the pilgrimage back to my condominium and showing the devastation. And I just. People seem to dig it. I've always thought. I've been hesitant about vlogging because I see people all the time, and they're like, I'm just gonna walk through a Walmart and film myself for 20 minutes talking. And I'm like, yeah, but it's not funny and it's not interesting. And why do you think I want to watch you walk to a Walmart for 20 minutes or make a breakfast sandwich, like.
Jason Mayhem Miller
And subscribe.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, there's too much. There's too much of this. I'm gonna film myself packing my kids lunch. My one child likes ranch Doritos, and the other likes original Doritos. I'm like, shut up, bitch. No one gives a fuck about your fat kids. So I've always been, you know, look, my feeling is you write a joke, you come with a joke, you do a joke, you go on stage, people pay you, you get paid, you go home. But you don't just follow yourself around with a camera.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Well, I'm thinking of becoming a trad wife.
Adam Carolla
A what wife?
Jason Mayhem Miller
Oh, man, never mind.
Adam Carolla
What is that?
Jason Mayhem Miller
A traditional wife where you're like, just dress up in 1950s outfit and, like, make sandwiches.
Adam Carolla
I love that.
Jason Mayhem Miller
All right.
Adam Carolla
You could film yourself doing that.
Jason Mayhem Miller
All right, the boobs, thumbs up.
Adam Carolla
But it was when the fire happened and I was displaced from my home and then displaced from my studio because the power was out here. And I said, well, you know, people sort of said, well, should we just. Like, the studio's dark. There's no. Literally, I remember there's no power. So now you're in your hotel room. And they said, well, you're just gonna have to run like a best of or repeat or something. Cause you need a podcast, but you can't get to a studio. And I said, well, why don't we just put a table here in the hotel room and I'll pull the chair over.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Some of your best work, Ace, I gotta tell you.
Adam Carolla
And people liked it. I said, just, we'll do a quick one. So give people an update. We don't have guests or I don't have jokes. But I just said, why don't we just do it that way? And it turned out to be interesting. And for some reason people responded to it. So I thought, all right, well, if they like that kind of stuff, then I'll go back to Malibu. So I went back to Malibu and I filmed it. And people responded to it. Which is interesting to me because I look at it. I mean, yes, it's an interesting backdrop. Multi billion dollar real estate devastation. But I still looked at it as like, I'm just walking and talk. And I didn't find it that compelling. Also, the first time I did it, out of respect to all the people that lost their home, I dialed down the humor a little bit. I didn't want to go over there and tell a bunch of jokes while people were grieving. But when I went back Friday, which is two months later, I was like, all right, well, it's time to let a little more humor out.
Jason Mayhem Miller
All right, all right.
Adam Carolla
Now this isn't that. This isn't a comedy bit. This is me driving down PCH wondering, when are we going to clean this place up? It's been two months.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Well, that's a comedy bit in itself.
Adam Carolla
Yes. And first. So I'm just driving down PCH now, PCH has sort of got a lot of equipment on it. It's half blocked off. It's Pacific Coast Highway. Listen to me, if you hear someone say the PCH or the Pacific coast highway, they're not from here. That's it. I don't know what else the fuck to tell you. I argue with people that, well, you say the 101 freeway, you say the 405. I get it. It doesn't make sense. And by the way, Louisville Louisville, none of it makes sense. It's an indicator that you're not from here. That's all. We bake in shit that doesn't make sense so we can find outsiders. That's what you do. You find little things that are idiosyncratic. Everybody's here from Michigan just goes the pch. And I go, it's not the pch. It's just pch. But it doesn't make sense.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Mayhem. You live off of Wilshire Boulevard.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. You're not from here. Yes, yes. Oh, he's off of Sepulveda. You know what other. You know what's other weird too? Is there a street called Sherman Way? Except we just call it Sherman Way. We take the two together now. I lived on Houston Street. I didn't live on Houston Street. Houston street where we go Sherman Way. But people from other places go, it's off of Sherman. It's on Sherman Way. It's like Sherman Way. Okay. Why do we do it? We do it to identify outsiders.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
I don't know. It doesn't make sense.
Dawson
But you're always supposed to say Roscoe Boulevard unless it's in the sentence. Roscoe at the 405.
Adam Carolla
Right?
Dawson
That's the only time you're allowed to say that.
Adam Carolla
Look, I'm not arguing that it makes sense. I'm arguing that it exists. And if you'd like to have people think you're from here, do not put the in front of pch. But okay, now I was going down the pch and it's crazy devastation. Now the thing that was funny is I was like, all right, I'm just going to film some devastation, give some thoughts. But this time around, I was hoping to talk to somebody, but there wasn't much going on. First we hit a Karen. I stopped and started filming the devastation. The only thing that brought up, the only bright part of the whole trip was in one of the. All the garage doors are gone. Now in some of these burnt out places. And there was a Malibu. There was a Mercedes G wagon burnt to the ground. Yeah. And that's the biggest douchebag mobile in the world.
Jason Mayhem Miller
I hate that. Somehow satisfying.
Adam Carolla
It was satisfying. So first I stopped and started filming a house. And some Karen got out of her. Who are the people? Who are the people who have to stop and get involved? You'll have these. You'll find these for neighbors. Like you will be trimming your hedge and at some point at noon on a Wednesday, and your neighbor will come by and go, what's going on? I'm just trimming a hedge. Oh, I didn't get a note. Like, it's my hedge, it's on my property. What are you doing? It's like, who are these stop, buy and get involved people when it's not their shit? We start filming and some middle aged blond chick just got out of her car and was like, excuse me, do you own this property? And I go, no, we don't. Oh, okay. Gets back in the car and leaves. What? What's the reason for the stop? What do you want? What are you doing? What's going on? There's nothing to loot.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Adam Carolla
Like the thought is something is going on and I was not notified. That's how they think.
Dawson
And she had a moment, was like, okay, what next, right? Nothing.
Jason Mayhem Miller
The bridge troll of the modern generation.
Adam Carolla
And she drove away. And I said, my camera guy go, who is this? What was that? Does she own this property? No. Okay, she doesn't own this property. Then what? Who is she and why'd she leave? What did she want to get out of this interaction other than for us to stop and go, oh shit, what's going on? That's all she wanted. So then I go down another 200 yards and I stop amongst the destruction and I stop about 50 yards away from a crew that's working, a four or five man crew.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Now how close to your property? It's like somewhere near it, like down the hill from it.
Adam Carolla
When you're going to see this property, it's down the hill and about two, three blocks down PCH toward Pepperdine. All right. And so then I stop, we're filming again. And then a guy with a hard hat and a vest who's down on the property they're working on is walking with purpose toward me and I'm like, ugh, Jesus Christ, here we go again. The guy wants a permit for a shooting or what the fuck? And then the guy comes up and he's like, he's like, I'm a big.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Fan, we're working well, yeah.
Adam Carolla
And I go, yeah, that's right. I go, oh, can we put you on camera? He's like, yeah, all right. So this is Glenn, the guy who's doing the crew. And we cut a little minute half thing here because he's gonna. I've been wondering how long and how much and what the deal is. And he's gonna answer, what's your name?
Jason Mayhem Miller
My name is Glenn Bell. I work for American Wrecking.
Adam Carolla
Uh huh. So you guys have been subbed out.
Jason Mayhem Miller
To do this stuff, right?
Adam Carolla
By the home. What does it cost to completely strip one of these lots? And I know you're going to say it's going to vary from lot to lot depending on size and access. There's pretty decent access here so we can bring in the bigger equipment. And the big trucks, they're averaging from 40,000 and up to 90,000 depending on the size, volume, dump these and time.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Is what not mix it off, go up or down.
Adam Carolla
Also the scrap metal, I sell the scrap metal, discount that back.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Oh, so if I have a hundred thousand dollar job and there's 50,000 in scrap, I'm gonna do it for 50.
Adam Carolla
The scrap pays me the. I did not know that the steel was reusable.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Well, no, it's going for scrap metal.
Adam Carolla
They're gonna melt, they're gonna melt it down. Likely end up in China. How many days to go from this to we're declared this finished and clean? Four days. Four days. So you started this morning and you got about two more full days and this thing's going to be completely clean.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Correct.
Adam Carolla
The devil's always in the details. So we pulled in very quickly.
Jason Mayhem Miller
We start strong. We're going to go ahead and work.
Adam Carolla
Tomorrow, get ahead of the weather. If we can get three more loads.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Of debris out of here, I'll be happy.
Adam Carolla
And then Monday, as long as the rain doesn't kill us, we should be finishing it up.
Jason Mayhem Miller
And worst case scenario, if we have to sweep up on Tuesday, I'm still under budget and the client will be happy to get the finishing a day or two.
Adam Carolla
Glenn, this is why I miss construction guys. Guys like you. I gotta work with all these fruitcakes in Hollywood now, What the hell, they suck. I miss salt of the earth dudes like yourself. So it's great to meet you, Glenn. All right, let's get a latte. A backhoe is going now a couple things. It's four dudes, takes them three or four days.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Could be done in a week.
Adam Carolla
Five Hour Energy. I like this stuff. Daylight savings time can hit you so, so hard. I mean, what if you could regain the energy you lost from the time change? Well, that's where five Hour Energy comes in. Five Hour energy has made one Hour Energy a tiny pick me up for getting through the day ahead. Like me, you may feel daylight savings time feels like the worst day of the year. But now, thanks to the new one Hour Energy shot from five Hour Energy, it won't. You'll get that hour right back. It's not the same as the five Hour Energy. You already Know this one is specifically designed for that extra boost. Fight back against that lost hour during daylight savings time. Check out the one hour energy shot and conquer your day. Visit 5hourenergy.com to find a retailer near you and try the limited time one hour energy shot. One less hour in the day. Challenge accepted. Now, okay, that dude Glenn, him and his company, they want to make money, so they're in a hurry. So they quote the homeowner $45,000. And if they can do it in three days, they fucking do it in three days. And they hustle. And I shot on a Friday and that guy's like, coming back tomorrow because it might start raining. I'm gonna get ahead of it. So they work weekends. My whole point is when people have fucking incentive, they go. When they have a never ending government job, then they have no fucking incentive and they have no motivation and they just become chair warmers. They just sit. You know how long it would take the government to do that shit? Because no one gives a fuck. They blast through that shit. They're doing a property every three or four days. So he's got, he's like, I already got five other properties lined up, by the way. His company wants to. You got five properties, you're getting 50k a property and you're knocking it off in four days. Yeah, you're doing pretty good. And you don't have super high material costs or anything.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Just dragging shit out.
Adam Carolla
Just dump fees.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Yeah, yeah.
Adam Carolla
And these guys want to get paid. They're demolition guys. No one went to Harvard, no one went to Yale, no one went to fucking college. Their dads ran the business before they got there. They're blue collared dudes who are going to get paid. And I said to him, this is going to bring me to my sociological angle here.
Jason Mayhem Miller
I knew it was coming.
Adam Carolla
It's powerful. I said, I'm looking at one guy driving the backhoe with scooper and the other guy's driving. The other guys are working flathead shovels.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Oh, wow.
Adam Carolla
And I said, what's everyone get paid here now? He said, and I haven't heard this term in a while. He said, prevailing wage. And I thought, oh, I got paid prevailing wage once. You want to get prevailing wage, mayhem.
Jason Mayhem Miller
So it's like, yeah, what the hell does that mean?
Adam Carolla
It's when you're doing something for the city. The city says, the city dictates you cannot do this job and pay your labors. Five bucks an hour. They're on a city job now. This isn't a city Job, but it falls under the jurisdiction of whomever, and it's prevailing wage. You're not gonna come in here and get these contracts.
Jason Mayhem Miller
That's the federal government or California.
Adam Carolla
I think for me, it was. I think it was California, but it could be federal. That's a fair question. When I was working earthquake rehab in 1986, I looked it up recently. I think it was 1986. I was getting paid in the private sector as a carpenter. I think I was getting about 10, 11 bucks an hour. The earthquake rehab job was for the city. The city then has to pay prevailing wage. The city at that time was paying 19 bucks an hour to laborers and 17 bucks an hour to carpenters because they're retarded. Because in my world at that time, journeyman carpenter, he got like 15, and laborers got like seven or eight bucks an hour. Because one guy's a journeyman and the other guy's a fucking laborer. He's a donkey carpenter.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Got a union.
Adam Carolla
There was no unions where we did it, okay? But they made me a laborer because I was the best carpenter. And Therefore I get 19 bucks an hour. Anyway, prevailing wage when I was earthquake rehab was 17, 18, 19 bucks an hour. So I said to the guy, what are these guys getting paid? And he said, prevailing wage, 60 bucks an hour for the laborers. And then plus all the benefits that went along with that. So I said, 60 bucks an hour plus benefits. Not too shabby. And then that's where labor. Yeah, yeah, Train journey. You know, these guys aren't pipe filters.
Jason Mayhem Miller
There's an art to not killing yourself while you're doing demolition.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, but no one cares if you kill yourself because you're a donkey. Accurate. So I said, these guys are getting 60 bucks an hour. He said, yeah, the guy driving the Backhoe is getting 92 bucks an hour. I said, that ain't too shabby. And then I had this epiphany. And I've always said this about la, and I don't know what it means, but hear me out. I drove. And you can challenge yourself in LA to drive everywhere. Go down pch. Go down the pch. Yeah, you go down pch. There are thousands of men and women working. There's city guys putting poles up. There's linemen, tons of linemen sitting in those scooper bucket things up, doing the line stuff. There's plumber guys down on the ground fitting stuff on things. There's demolition guys, what have you.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Real America.
Adam Carolla
Real, real America. Every single one of those guys on that site, I passed by including Glenn, the guy I spoke to, were Hispanic. Every single person working is Hispanic with a dusting, a dusting of white dudes. The Hispanics would be the chocolate cupcake and the white dudes would be the jimmies, just kind of sprinkled on top, you know what I mean? That's the ratio. But there are a couple of white dudes in there. Zero blacks. Yeah, Zero blacks in la. Nobody's working on a road crew. No one's pouring asphalt. No one's stacking cinder blocks. No one's framing apartment buildings. Nobody. In all of the rebuilding of all the structures in Malibu Palisades will be black. I've never worked with a black carpenter my entire existence in la. And you go, well, why the fuck not? These are poor people. The reason I'm a carpenter is because I'm a poor person. And the reason every Mexican who's on that job site is a poor person. By the way, nobody on that job site, none of those Mexicans cleaning up the hazardous material. Zero mask.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Yeah, I saw that.
Adam Carolla
But I was at the DMV earlier in the week. Every bitch working at DMV sitting inside is wearing a mask.
Jason Mayhem Miller
I'm getting a gay pride mask.
Adam Carolla
Nobody along that toxic corridor.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Yeah, I know. Not having a bandana. Not wet bandana on the mouth.
Adam Carolla
Not one dude on that construction site. Not one fucking mass at the DMV in Glendale, everyone's wearing a mask because they're fucking paranoid. All right, so prevailing wage, 60 bucks an hour. Seemed like an all right job as a laborer.
Jason Mayhem Miller
You know what I mean? Aside from the toxicity, you know, maybe put a bandana over your mouth and then hit the flathead shovel, throw it over your shoulder.
Adam Carolla
The inner city is filled with young black kids who ain't going to college. They're joining gangs.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Yeah, yeah.
Adam Carolla
And every time you talk to some city officials, like, we got to get them educated. They have to know about their future. They have to have a dream to go to college. They're not going to college. They don't know their fucking dad. And they don't have any money. How about we get them a trade?
Jason Mayhem Miller
Yeah, yeah.
Adam Carolla
How about we teach them carpentry? How about we put some tools in their hand? How about they learn a skill and how about we give them the fuck paid? And how come I've never heard a politician say fucking jack squat about this? My entire life, I've lived in la. My entire life, I've heard them talk about bringing music programs back to the inner city and bringing music programs to school, having the kids go out and tour museums, Head Start programs, free lunches, School to prison. Pipeline. How about a school to fucking pipe fitter? Pipeline, bitch. How come I've not heard one? Maxine Waters? Some bitch always there crying, racism, rattling a can, asking for money, calling Trump Hitler. How about you take the poor kids in your district, the poor black men who are going to get involved with crime and are going to get the penal system and are going to get sucked up in gangs. How about we get them some fucking vocational training? How about it? Yeah, can we do that? Can someone say anything? You could. Here's what you could do. If you go down pch, at the end where you enter, there is an entrance on pch. They cordon it off and they have a checkpoint. It's down. Before the destruction begins.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Yes.
Adam Carolla
You start right there. You will see a black dude who works for the National Guard standing there, maybe a black chick standing there waving you past. Because they were like, we gotta get one black person on this fucking highway. But this, yes, they work at the airport, they work for the National Guard. Fine. You'll see that black person there standing there, by the way. No skills, no nothing, just kind of standing there like waving you past. That will be the last black person you see until you get to exit 10 miles later, until you now leave and pass the next National Guard checkpoint where you'll see your second black person. Other than that, that's it. All the workers, all the linemen, all the fitters, all the plumbers, all the demo guys. And then soon to be followed by the Khsan guys and the foundation guys and all the subs, all of the subs, all of, all of the foundation guys, all of the framing guys, all the steel guys, all the H vac guys, the tin knockers, the sheet rockers, all of them. Never gonna see one black face. Not one. These guys are gonna be busy working and making a lot of money for the next decade. Has there, is there one motherfucking politician who could go, there's tons of young, able bodied, strong dudes just languishing in the inner city. Why is this a completely Hispanic thing? Where's the fucking culture of work? Let's get these guys, let's give them some training, let's get some tools in their hand and by the way, some dignity, man. You feel good when you strap on those tool bags. As a young man, I was a young guy. I was kind of, you know, didn't exactly. I was a little rudderless, kind of wandering around when I put Those tool bags on. I felt like somebody. I felt like I had a skill.
Jason Mayhem Miller
There's gotta be somebody to paint this picture for the kids. You know what I mean? I don't know if you're the best proponent for it, you know?
Adam Carolla
Like, there's fucking me and Mike Rowe, but where is the city council? Like, where's the plan? How come it's never been discussed? Yeah, I know your plan is everyone has to go to Harvard or Yale, but the reality is no one's going to Harvard or Yale. From there, instead, they're going into Crips and Bloods. So fucking come up with a plan.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Well, the plan currently is wait till they get to prison and then break them there and then teach them how to pipe fit there. Because I've seen it.
Adam Carolla
Yes.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Yeah, that's it. That's the only way. The only way is you flunk out of college. I mean, our high school, you hit the streets, you sell something that you shouldn't be selling, right? Go to prison. Then in prison, you go, I'm tired of doing this. And then you become a plumber or a carpenter or if you really work hard, you know, this type of trade. But as far as high school, no. They want everyone to figure out liberal arts majors.
Adam Carolla
And these same assholes are like, we got to raise the minimum wage so these guys don't get paid slave wages working at Jack in the box or McDonald's. You don't have to work at McDonald's or Jack in the Box. You could learn a fucking trade.
Jason Mayhem Miller
I know.
Adam Carolla
And we could have. Listen, I don't like DEI shit. I don't like the affirmative action shit. I was a victim of it when I tried to be a fireman, when I was rudderless. But you know what? I will accept you going to the inner city and trying to get some fucking people of color onto these job sites. Yeah, I will carve that out in this honky podcaster's mind, I will fucking carve out space for you to go to the inner city and get these people working.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. The Malibu cleanup is going slow, but could be improved with black workers.
Adam Carolla
It's not going to be improved with black workers. You're never going to beat Mexicans. But you're just shoveling shit and you're getting 60 bucks an hour. So give it to the fucking kid who's going to be a gang banger. Let him get a little dignity, for Christ's sake. All right, I know we got some news coming up. We got Adam Hunter coming in. I got stuff to get into. I think I'm gonna pause. We'll bring Adam Hunter in because I want to open this up because I got a lot of other stuff to complain about. Could you imagine, Dawson, if you just turn on the news and you saw like the LA City Council, instead of coming up with like a second Pride Month or a program so that the trans kids could, could be fully represented, fully represented at the next Pride Fair. Like just some fucking nuts and bullshit. Like, hey, there's a bunch of black kids, they're languishing. Look around. No one's working. I've never seen anyone working. I got a plan. I want to get these kids. I talk to my buddy Mike Rowe, he wants to go down there and recruit these kids and start an apprentice program. And we're going to start without the fucking Dina. Altadena. Altadena is as the crow flies, only a few miles from these guys. Shitbox neighborhood, inner city, downtown Inglewood, whatever Altadena is right there. They're going to need so much fucking labor to put those places back together. And it's perfect because you're a 17 year old kid who's fallen through the cracks. We're going to be rebuilding altadena when you're 20 so we can get you some training. From about 17 to about 20, you're going to go onto a crew. You're going to have fucking insurance and you're going to get prevailing wage and you make a good living and you're going to have some dignity. And we're not going to start rebuilding for a couple of years. And in that couple of years you can get tuned up.
Jason Mayhem Miller
You'll figure out how to be a carpenter by that time and you'll be building a whole brand new house.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. Oh, slow down, man. All right. You're not going to build. Take about 10 years. I take the optimistic. Take about 10 years to really, you're going to learn how to form for the concrete. When they come in, you can learn what to do with it.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Start you out on concrete and then work your way up to siding.
Adam Carolla
Put a duplex nail in there. Now look, I'm not going to teach any black kids about. I'm not going to teach any black kids about stucco because you'll never out stucco the Mexicans. I wouldn't even get them near stuck up. Like, leave it alone, don't even look at the stucco, but we'll get you.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Are you saying that black dudes are genetically cannot do.
Adam Carolla
They're not. Yes, they don't have a gene for stucco.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Stucco gene.
Adam Carolla
They don't have the stucco gene.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Racism?
Adam Carolla
No. Well, white people don't either.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Oh.
Adam Carolla
You ever seen an Asian guy doing stucco?
Jason Mayhem Miller
Never.
Adam Carolla
That's right. You never got it.
Jason Mayhem Miller
I thought they did. I thought they did it in sand. It was like Zen garden.
Adam Carolla
They mess around with their sand and their bonsai trees, but they don't fuck around with apartment buildings in stucco. Stucco is the territory, the dominion of the Mexican.
Jason Mayhem Miller
I believe stucco is a Spanish word for beauty.
Adam Carolla
Mm. No, it doesn't mean that, does it? No. I would say to the black kids, don't even look at stucco. And I don't even want. I'm gonna get you out of concrete all the way. And don't think about stucco or masonry or block walls. Anything to do with how they would landscaping. Anything to do with mortar. You know, maybe it's a bad idea. Just get a job at the fucking airport, would you, blackie? All right, take a break. We'll get in here with Adam Hunter right after this. You all know why I started my show, right? To find the truth buried under the bias of liberal media and corporate control. I just wanted to speak my mind. Especially with Trump back in office, it's more important than ever to see through agenda driven narratives. That's why I want to tell you all about my partners at Ground News. With their independent app and website, you're not at the mercy of media bias and big tech algorithms. You get every outlet covering any story, even the ones mainstream media don't want you to see, plus insight on their political lean and financial backing. So you know, you're really controlling the narrative. Go to Ground News Corolla to see how the left's ignoring FEMA firing employees for making unauthorized payments to house migrants in luxury hotels. Meanwhile, you can easily find independent sources like the Center Square, Washington examiner or Breitbart, calling it what it is, a huge FEMA cover up. Without Ground News, you'll never know what information you're missing or how biased that information might be. That's why I check Ground News every day, to find the truth on the stories I share with you. And because I know how much my viewers would benefit from Ground News too. I'm giving you the same vantage plan I use for nearly half the price. Just five bucks a month for unlimited access. This deal won't last forever, so go to G R O U N D News Corolla, or scan this QR code and start thinking for yourself while supporting independent sources like me. Homes.com knows that when it comes to home shopping, it's never just about the house or condo, it's about the home. And what makes a home is more than just a house or property. It's the location, it's the neighborhood. If you have kids, it's also schools, nearby, parks, transportation options, all the above. That's why homes.com goes above and beyond, to bring home shoppers the in depth information they need to find the right home. And when I say in depth, I'm talking about deep. That's right. Each listing features comprehensive information about the neighborhood, complete with a video guide. They also have details about local schools with test scores, state rankings, and student to teacher ratio. They even have an agent directory with the sales history of each agent. So when it comes to finding a home, not just a house, this is everything you need to know, all in one place. Homes.com. homes.com. We've done your homework.
Adam Hunter
I got invited to a gender reveal party, which is strange. The person was 40. The big issue now is transgenders in high school female sports. Listen, I'm a middle school wrestling coach, right? If somebody's willing to get a sex change to win a medal, that's the kind of commitment I'm looking for in an athlete.
Dawson
Adam Hunter is on the Adam Carolla Show.
Adam Carolla
Adam's got a new Stand Up Special album, and it's available on Spotify and Apple Music and other places where you find albums. And I was trying to talk to my guys, like, are we calling it a special? It says special, but is it an album? And I got in this argument before with Erica Rhodes, who had an album but not a special.
Adam Hunter
Yeah, yeah, it's an album. I just. It's an album. And then they recorded it and then tried to put it out. As I was like, no, no, you guys only pay me for the album. So it's an album.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, yeah. And so when you do an audio album.
Adam Hunter
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
And this is, you know, back in the day, because I was talking to my guys and they said, well, it's a special. I said, well, no, Richard Pryor would do a special for hbo, but he also had an album, and that was different. You buy an album. And I loved comedy albums back in the day. I even wonder if it penetrates a little deeper and may be more effective than kind of watching the person and their mannerisms or whatever might distract you.
Adam Hunter
I think it depends on whether or not the joke writer. I write a lot of jokes. Someone like Steven Wright. You can listen to Steven Wright or Mitch Hedberg all day. Long on the radio. Right. Whereas like someone like Dane Cook who does more act outs probably wouldn't be as funny. Bro.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Dane Cook, like that was like the only album I bought back in the day. Like.
Adam Carolla
Oh, really?
Jason Mayhem Miller
Yeah. I'm coming out to you guys right now as a Dane Cook fan in recovery, I see.
Adam Carolla
I'm with Adam, you know, as Adams. We stick together. But they're guys like Sebastian and Dane Cook. But it's a lot of physicality.
Jason Mayhem Miller
He specifically tailored, I remember he tailored those to more of a just verbal kind of stuff. You know, it was a weird era in comedy back at that time. But the Richard Pryor when it was records. Yeah, I know what you're saying.
Adam Carolla
I like, I had George Carlin records, you know, so when you do a stand up album, you're allowed to kind of. You don't have to wear the same shirt two times. Right. Because it doesn't have to edit together and you can grab it from different clubs even.
Adam Hunter
Well, this one I made because at one point I made a lot of money on Sirius Radio. They were just playing my stuff all the time on. So I was just doing it for that. So. But then they changed the structure and I don't know, they're not. It's not as, you know, monetarily friendly as it used to be to comics. I think like certain businesses bought out certain stations and then it was like down to a couple stations and it was like, like everything else, it just gets. Once money gets involved, people take advantage of it. But. But yeah, so like Dane is a murderer. But, but, but there are certain guys, like, he's got such good stage presence. Sometimes you don hear it on the radio. Whereas like Todd Barry sometimes, like doesn't kill as hard in the room. But then on when you're hearing it, you're like, wow, these jokes are incredible. Yeah, so, yeah, there's that.
Adam Carolla
All right, so it's an album and it was. I'm asking for selfish reasons, recorded in the same venue. Same venue, but multiple shows.
Adam Hunter
Yeah. Right.
Adam Carolla
And you do the same venue because you have the same acoustics and the same what have you. Yeah, but one could do five shows at off the Hook.
Adam Hunter
That's where it was. That's exactly where I shot it.
Adam Carolla
Oh, really?
Adam Hunter
Yeah, it was at off the Hook.
Adam Carolla
Well, to be fair to Kismet and God and the great magnet. I saw a clip, but hold on. No, I said show me a clip. But I wasn't. I just said of Adam doing stand up. I didn't say from the album. And then the person showed me the clip and said, this isn't from the album, but maybe it was. So you were an off the hook in Naples.
Adam Hunter
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I love that place.
Adam Carolla
Everyone loves that place.
Adam Hunter
Place is unbelievable. I mean it. Cause it's so much fun, that place. And the food's great and the people are great.
Adam Carolla
Well, maybe there's a new thing, which is, as I think about it. So you go, guys, like, you and me, we go, oh, Naples is fun. And then there's a place called the End, and I don't know, South Bay or whatever the hell it is. I played it a couple weeks ago and it's like, it's fun. It's like, it's raucous. And then. And then I'm trying to think, like, was it always this way? And then I realize they came down so hard on comics. You know, the word police, Covid stuff, political correctness. Sadly, other retarded comics tried to police what other comics were saying. Like, fucking pussy whip douchebags.
Adam Hunter
Right.
Adam Carolla
And so what gave way as these pockets of places where they wanted to hear, like, the more politically incorrect and the more racist, the more whatever it could be. It gave way to, like a French undercut ground. And so some of these places, the partisan resistance. Yeah. Are that way. And then it just turns into rock and roll. Because now people are going hard in the pain and they're eating it up.
Adam Hunter
Yeah, I think that's it. I think that a lot of it is. It's a conservative. Florida is just great in general, but it's a conservative place and they don't give a shit. A lot of Gutfeld fans there, and they're like, good age bracket, but. And also, I think that club did it right where they started. Just. They just booked consistently good comics, whereas other clubs try to go for like, okay, let me get the big name, let me get the big TikTok star, let me get the whatever. So you bring a lot of people in, but they're only in for that person.
Adam Carolla
Right.
Adam Hunter
You know, Whereas if you do it the hard way, the longer way would you only book good, good comics? You're eventually gonna get a comedy fan, you know, and they're gonna come out no matter who it is.
Adam Carolla
Right.
Adam Hunter
Which is great.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
So, yeah, half the people thought they're seeing Adam Hunter. When they came out to see me, kind of disappointed, you know, I did.
Adam Hunter
A show one time, there was this woman, I forgot her name. She's this lesbian, funny, bigger girl. Bigger lesbian, white.
Adam Carolla
You gotta narrow it down. They're all pretty big lesbian.
Adam Hunter
Has like, a one name.
Adam Carolla
Feimster. Fortune.
Adam Hunter
Fortune, right. Yes, exactly.
Adam Carolla
Fortune Feimster.
Adam Hunter
That's right.
Adam Carolla
So. Well, that wasn't that hard.
Adam Hunter
So she was. So she was doing a club in Arizona, and they booked me, and she fell out, like, the last minute, and they booked me, like, hey, can you get down here tomorrow?
Adam Carolla
It's gonna be good.
Adam Hunter
So I go there, and they have a gay opener and a gay feature. And don't tell the crowd that Fortune's. Or they tried to, but it didn't get. Somehow didn't. And every time I came on, there'd be, like, pockets of just people going, where's Fortune? Every.
Jason Mayhem Miller
At least you brought your lesbian haircut.
Adam Hunter
Of course. Of course.
Adam Carolla
Wow. Yeah, I could. I could imagine the ambition.
Jason Mayhem Miller
How did you do the gig, though? But you're a pro, though. Like, you always come with, like, a million punchlines a minute, so obviously you won them over.
Adam Hunter
I try to base my comedy on, like, a Mexican boxer from the 90s.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. Of.
Adam Hunter
Just throw. Just throw thousands of punches and hopefully as many land as possible, like Marco Antonio Barrera or a Morales, where you just keep throwing, drink your own urine.
Adam Carolla
Punches and bunches to keep moving forward, focus on the body. Shoe shine.
Adam Hunter
I'm so happy, by the way, to see Mayhem here, because I've been. We've been.
Jason Mayhem Miller
We've been friends for years.
Adam Hunter
Yeah, 15 years.
Adam Carolla
Wow.
Adam Hunter
Mayhem.
Jason Mayhem Miller
So I always have to explain that I'm not talking about Adam Carolla when I tell Adam story. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Adam Hunter
Mayhem was one of my first. I met Mayhem because they booked me to do the Jason Ellis to be, like, the fight comedy guy at Fuel tv.
Jason Mayhem Miller
And that was.
Adam Hunter
And that was the. They had the craziest fights I've ever seen in my life. They'd have a guy dressed up as a pizza versus a guy dressed up as a taco.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, that's right.
Adam Hunter
Or they would. They would shock people with blindfolds while they were punching each other.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Yeah, we had a wild die back then, for sure.
Adam Carolla
Wow.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Yeah, we would just throw the craziest fights that you ever had in your entire life.
Adam Carolla
You know, you guys are too young for the ABC's Wide World of Sports, but they had barrel jumping on ice skates. That was a big sport. Like, literally, barrel jumping.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Yeah. Yeah.
Adam Carolla
I mean, guys whipping around, you know, turning that corner, going at the barrels that have 18 barrels lined up, and the guy just take off with these ice skates with barrels. They had barrel jumping. They had a crazy sport. And you Gotta look it up in there, Dawson. It was called the Slide for life.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
You ever heard of that?
Jason Mayhem Miller
No.
Adam Carolla
You would take. You would get on the back of not a funny car, dragster, but some high horsepower quarter mile car. Right. And then the thing would take off down the drag strip and you'd. They'd lower themselves on the back on a steel plate.
Adam Hunter
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
And Sparks would just.
Adam Hunter
They'd be wearing up his alley.
Adam Carolla
Here's the whole thing. That was a time when you needed leathers. People needed leathers to do shit. Full leathers. You're dressed like either Elvis or the.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Gimp from Pulp Fiction.
Adam Carolla
Or the Gimp from Pulp Fiction. Or Evel Knievel. Like, all the best people wore leather. You could either be Gimp, you could be Elvis, or you could be Evel Knievel. And they lower themselves with a crash helmet on.
Jason Mayhem Miller
And Sparks would come flying out like the Coliseum, man.
Adam Carolla
You dragged on your ass. It's like someone said, look, here's a trash can lid, here's a jump rope. Hang on to it. I'm gonna throw you out of the back of my. I'm throwing out the back of my funny car. I'm gonna just see him just drag it.
Adam Hunter
That's. That's.
Adam Carolla
I didn't even know why it was. It was called the Slide for life. Like, they just made up.
Adam Hunter
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
So this is like circa 1975. Like they came up with up back then.
Adam Hunter
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
Like, people think bum fights are new. No, we were. We did all this shit back then. We just. We got a little civilized like through the 80s and 90s. And then we reverted back to, like celebrity boxing or something again. We went nuts again. It all goes full circle, ebb and flow.
Adam Hunter
So Mayhem, you know, he was at his. I mean, he's doing at his top now. He's the best I've ever seen him. But when he was on Bully Beatdown, I coach a middle school wrestling team and I asked Mayhem to come give a speech to the kids. And. And he did. He drove, like three hours from Orange county to give, like, a motivational. And that never. That always, like, I mean, a week later, he was on the news with a SWAT team. But. But.
Jason Mayhem Miller
But the kids won that night.
Adam Carolla
They did.
Adam Hunter
It was amazing.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Didn't we win the championship that time?
Adam Hunter
I don't know.
Jason Mayhem Miller
All the times that I came and coached, I was great because I just got to take the glory with you guys because I just coached a couple of matches and they won. And, man, it felt good.
Adam Hunter
The kids were, like, shaking your Hands. I'm never gonna wash my hand again.
Adam Carolla
Really?
Adam Hunter
Yeah.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Blows their heart.
Adam Hunter
It's really cool.
Adam Carolla
I think that happened in the Brady Bunch when Marsha met Davy Jones.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Yeah, I think you're right.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, I think so. There's a lot of that going around. Slide for Life. Wide world.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Of course, to see this, actually, I, I, I cannot believe this is a real.
Adam Carolla
From the 70s.
Jason Mayhem Miller
75, I believe.
Adam Carolla
Well, yes.
Dawson
The only thing I'm finding about it is from a, like a Reddit type forum. It says, I think they called it Slide for Life. It had been held on a racetrack or drag strip. Basically, they had a car set up with platform in the rear a few inches above the asphalt. The contestants would wear some kind of thick hard rod.
Adam Carolla
I think I got. This is, I will say this is exactly how I described it.
Dawson
Correct, exactly.
Adam Carolla
The real party started when they did the Slide for Life at night. Because that's when the sparks you could see. Oh, wow. All right, so the guys. Yeah.
Jason Mayhem Miller
The Flying Dutchman.
Adam Carolla
You can't forget the Slide for Life. No, you cannot, Sayville. In case you don't know, that's down in the heart of the country on Long Island. The guy doing the announcing is, by the way, I love that the guy has to drive the dragster. He's lowering himself onto the. Oh, wait. Oh, oh, wait. Plot twist, plot twist.
Jason Mayhem Miller
This wasn't what you described at all.
Adam Carolla
What is it? What? Well, that's an equally as impressive sport. That's the latter. That's the latter challenge. First off, that's a bespoke buggy. Like somebody got out a cutting torch and made that shit out of 50 shopping carts, you know?
Dawson
Yeah, well, at the end of this post I was reading, you guys says I can't find video of it anywhere.
Adam Carolla
Byron, why would you think this is what I.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Good job, man. You know you're gonna come up with.
Adam Hunter
A. I saw a weird looking car on a drag strip looking thing with some dudes hanging off the.
Adam Carolla
Okay, what do they call this? What do they say it was called?
Adam Hunter
I'll check right now.
Adam Carolla
I'm curious. Yeah, you got to watch, but did you watch the vid?
Adam Hunter
Yeah, I saw them drag stripping, but then I didn't put it up because I saw this like weird thing at the end.
Adam Carolla
So that's why we were still looking.
Jason Mayhem Miller
The climb to life. The ladder.
Adam Carolla
What you. Oh, you didn't put it up.
Adam Hunter
I didn't put it up.
Adam Carolla
Wait, how do we watch it?
Adam Hunter
Well, I put it up, but I didn't put it up beforehand. Your little screen there said still searching. Because I was still searching for exactly what you wanted. I found this just in case.
Adam Carolla
Nice. All right. But you did put it up. Because I knew about. I mean, I was watching it. Yes. Okay, so just to be clear, I saw this. Correct. Okay, so maybe put it up. But anyway, this is a ladder. This is. But did you watch it and think this is what.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Look, I think we could do the whole episode like this too. Wide World of Sports shit. We'll make up.
Adam Hunter
I mean, this is like Parkour in the 70s.
Jason Mayhem Miller
I know. Yeah.
Adam Carolla
I watched this and was unsure. So I wanted to find something that was exactly what you wanted. Okay. Yeah. Be unsure because this is not bad at all. This is a ladder going up a thing.
Adam Hunter
When Dawson was talking, I did say, hey, is it all right?
Adam Carolla
That's fine. See if you can find it. That's fine. I listen, I'm glad this sport exists cuz somebody else, somebody. There's a line of guys behind them. So you have an eighth of a mile or 500ft, you hit the arch, the wheelman's job is done.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
The other guys fly off. You put the monkey on the ladder. He's the guy who can scurry up the ladder. There's two base guys.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
No helmets, by the way. It seems like somebody could get hurt. That's the next one. Well, the fat guy's the wheelman and he's got a 63 vet. And they, they, they sawzalled the roof off it.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
Now he's gotta hit those brakes. Oh, no.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Oh, that's pretty brutal. At least he's wearing a helmet.
Adam Carolla
He didn't slow down fast enough. Stuff you gotta break hard. He locked up. He locked up that front hub.
Adam Hunter
This is Long island too. East Meadow.
Adam Carolla
That is like. Chris. Economists. That's, that's. This is Wide World of Sports, yet this isn't backyard stuff. That's, That's. Oh, man. We got some injuries.
Jason Mayhem Miller
I'll say.
Adam Carolla
I'd say it's mostly his ego that's hurt. Wouldn't you say about now? Fellas mostly. See you go. Stop. He'll be okay. I put. People's egos got hurt, now they just sue the. Out of everybody.
Jason Mayhem Miller
It's true.
Adam Carolla
It's like my ego is injured now I'm suing your ass. What is this called? Yeah, what are they calling this?
Jason Mayhem Miller
Yeah. Ladder jump.
Adam Carolla
By the way, in a, in the pantheon of. My wife wouldn't let my kids do.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Wow. I mean, when it comes together, it comes together.
Adam Hunter
That's Impressive.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Yeah, this is.
Adam Carolla
This is America at its best. This is why the terrorists hate us, by the way, because we're not even. There's no fire. We're not saving anybody. We're just fucking doing this shit because it's Saturday. We're bored, you know?
Adam Hunter
Yeah, that's true.
Adam Carolla
I've decided this sport is inherently dangerous. What is this called, Byron? Sorry.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Yeah, we don't know.
Adam Carolla
Someone put it. Whoever's in charge of the screen could tell me what this is called. But, see, it's funny. When I was watching it, I was like, how come these guys aren't wearing leathers if this is a slide for life? Still looking for the name of this. What do they call the video?
Jason Mayhem Miller
Wide World Sports Syracuse versus somebody.
Adam Carolla
Oh, man.
Adam Hunter
Long Island.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Long Island.
Adam Carolla
Stepping off the back. Oh, man. Stepping off the back is nuts.
Jason Mayhem Miller
I know. It is.
Adam Carolla
You'd think they'd wear fucking something. Farmer's gloves or something.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Skateboard pants. All right.
Adam Carolla
Anyway, that's a sport. I'll tell you. The wheelman's got a job because the wheelman's gotta take off, haul ass, but he can't. Late break. If he late. If he breaks late, everyone's getting fucked off. Jumping off the back of that. You know, anyone's gone down a hill on a skateboard and then hopped off and immediately the ground catches up to them.
Adam Hunter
Remember when my Mayhem got booked to do this gig in Buffalo and they said, how's it going? And they said that you took someone's car and then they were all chasing you, but you said you were leading the parade.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Yeah, they encouraged me at this meet and greet to get in this dude's freaking dragster type truck.
Adam Carolla
Oh, really?
Jason Mayhem Miller
Burn it around.
Adam Carolla
Really?
Jason Mayhem Miller
Everybody was cheering me on. Did a street takeover and slide for life. Yeah.
Adam Carolla
All right, so one more time, Byron. What do they. They call this day? Like, when you go to YouTube, there's a name for this, right? That. There's a name for the vid that they give it something.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Are you thinking of training a team, or is that what we're here?
Adam Carolla
I think about bringing this back. Yeah.
Adam Hunter
The name of the video is just. Wild World Sports championship in Syracuse, 1977.
Adam Carolla
Oh, they don't.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Championship of what?
Adam Carolla
They don't say the event.
Adam Hunter
I'm jumping through the video to find out, but I feel like you couldn't bring it back. Like, they kind of bring back American gladiators.
Adam Carolla
YouTube, give it a title.
Adam Hunter
This was the very first video that popped up when I entered what you wanted. Wild World Sports Slide for Life.
Adam Carolla
Right. But does he. I'm gonna ask again. YouTube, give, like, a title for the thing on their page or something?
Jason Mayhem Miller
It was janky. That's what it was just said Championship. Yeah. There, I read it.
Adam Hunter
1977, ABC's Wide World Sports New York State Championship at Cicero, Syracuse.
Adam Carolla
Wow. Everything but what they're doing.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Everything but the name of the sport.
Adam Carolla
This ladder's got a. They got a name. If they got a good name, like Slide for Life. I want to bring back Slide for Life. I want to bring back the ladder.
Adam Hunter
Do you really? Or just like, a bit?
Adam Carolla
I would. Okay, what if I said to you, look, I got Orange County International Raceway rented out this weekend. We're doing the Slide for Life. We're doing the Ladder Expo and. Or bringing back the Human Stick of Dynamite?
Adam Hunter
I would believe you because based on what I know you've accomplished in your life, like, what do you want to.
Adam Carolla
Watch is what I'm saying.
Adam Hunter
I mean, I would watch it if it was on, but I probably wouldn't go, but, oh, I have to watch.
Jason Mayhem Miller
I'm a season ticket holder.
Adam Carolla
You don't want to see the Human Stick of Dynamite make a comeback?
Adam Hunter
You know what? Like, I don't know, because there's a. Like, I love mma, but I'm not the biggest fan of slap boxing, you know? Yeah, I agree.
Adam Carolla
I agree.
Adam Hunter
So.
Adam Carolla
But have you seen the Human Stick of Dynamite?
Adam Hunter
No, I have no idea what the Human Stick of Dynamite is. What is it?
Jason Mayhem Miller
What is it?
Adam Carolla
Well, it's kind of in the title, you know, so if you've. Oh, it's the firemen. It's the New York State Fireman Competition.
Jason Mayhem Miller
I get it.
Adam Carolla
That makes sense.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
So these guys are all firemen. Yeah. By the way, they wouldn't have made it in LA because these guys weren't around during the fires two months ago. That's for goddamn sure. They had a different crew. They had a bunch of lesbians arguing. They had an LA competition with two heavyset lesbians just arguing with each other.
Adam Hunter
You're not kidding at all. That was ridiculous.
Adam Carolla
All right, so Slide for Life, Dawson, we're not gonna be able to find that.
Jason Mayhem Miller
It just.
Adam Carolla
Even though it's weird, it was Wide World of Sports, it was out there. It just never made it to the Internet.
Dawson
The other problem is there used to be something in the Army's boot camp called Slide for Life that they have now said, you can't do Slide for Life anymore. So that's really all that comes out. I'm looking into It.
Adam Carolla
All right, well, now all we need then is the human Stick of dynamite.
Jason Mayhem Miller
What the hell is that?
Adam Carolla
You've never seen the Human Stick of Dynamite?
Jason Mayhem Miller
I haven't heard of it until this moment.
Adam Hunter
I feel like you would have.
Jason Mayhem Miller
I know that was.
Adam Carolla
Why don't you know about the Human Stick of Dynamite? I don't know.
Jason Mayhem Miller
It's like, oh, I don't know what I don't know.
Adam Carolla
It's a good point. It is incumbent upon me to figure out what you know and what you don't know. And I can't ask you what you don't know because you don't know it. All right, the human stick of dynamite, that's gonna be easy to find. So when we find that, you can put that on the. Put that on the screen. You guys tell me if I'm right or if I'm wrong, but this happened to me two times in two days. I am a good driver. I could have drove that vet for the fireman's Company. I'm just on a dime, and I have a good kind of spatial relation that other people don't. A lot of people don't have. I've done a lot. I've had it happen a lot where it's like I stop in a parking lot and then the person behind you stops, and then I. I go, just go around, Go around. And there's 12ft, you know, and they're driving a Yugo, you know, And I go, go around. And they go. I can't make. It's like, you got three feet on both sides. Just. Just go around. They don't think they can get it, you know? And so the other day, I was driving up and one of these streets here, and there's a truck, like, on the street, and another guy was coming the other way, and the guy stopped, and it was an old man, and he was with his wife, and he just stopped in his car. And what I do, it's. My thing with driving is like momentum, momentum, momentum. I'm just gonna. If it piles up and I'm turning right, I'll just move over and go through everyone and turn right, you know? And the old man was looking at me. He was like, what the. Whoa, whoa, where are you going? And I'm like, in my mind, I got plenty of room for what I'm doing. In his old man, fucked up spatial mind, he doesn't think. He's picturing sparks flying out on the side of the car, me hitting his car. Of course, now I have a racing license and I have good spatial recognition, so I'm like, this is not a big deal. What we're. What we're doing here is mirror to mirror. Widest part of my cars, 6 foot.
Adam Hunter
8, and you have the light on or the beep that tells you if.
Adam Carolla
You'Re too close or when you're going straight ahead. It kind of leaves you alone. It's more of a backup thing. But sometimes it does a little. I figure from the outside mirror to the outside mirror, six foot eight, right? I'm looking at seven foot seven worth of space here. And that for me is not an issue. So I'm just gonna go through and this guy's screaming and, like, doing his best old man kind of look. What's happened? I like, by the way, I like when people get to 85 and do the what's going on? What's going on? You went through Vietnam, you went through World War II. You apparently did. You went through all the ethnic cleansing. You've seen it all. You of all people should be going, what is going on? You flipped through Woodstock and Kennedy assassinations and the Nixon administration. Why are you so surprised? Something is going on. Where's this land in the pantheon of shit you've seen over the last 85 years? You know, half your fucking family died of consumption before their 25th birthday. What do you mean, what's going on?
Adam Hunter
So all this is going through your head while you're making this?
Adam Carolla
It's coming out of my mouth, all right? So then I just drive by and I keep going, right? And then later on the following day, I was pulling out of an underground parking structure, you know, where you just keep winding around. And I was going up and I came around, and a guy who was coming down, driving a little bit faster than he probably should have been, ended up swinging out wide instead of hugging it in and staying in his lane, ended up swinging wide. When he swung out wide, I was kind of there and he stopped and I stopped. And then he just sat there and I then went, okay. And I started to move around him. And then he starts honking because he doesn't think I can make it. Once again, this is a young guy that's a 35 year old guy. And I'm like, first off, you swung wide, then you stopped. So I'm just gonna go round you. And so I start going around and he's honking, he's going, what's going on? And it's like, okay, first off, douche, you swung out of your lane into my lane. And then you stopped. So I'm just going to do you a favor and go around you. And he's honking and he's throwing his hands up, and I just go, okay, I'm just going to go around. And I went around. It's a fit, you know what I mean? Like, I didn't have a ton of room on each side. But he's throwing his hands up at the screen. It was a little distracting. And I go around him, and as I go around him, he does a move where he goes in reverse, like 3ft. I don't know. I guess it's a shaming process or something. And I just go around him and I leave. It wasn't a big deal, but I realized two dudes in two days, and their spatial shit is so fucked up. And here's my thing. Whether it's wearing a mask during COVID on a hiking trail or driving my car, you're the fucking retard who doesn't know how to drive and who listens to Fauci. That's what you do. What the hell? I'm not retarded and I know how to drive. So why you? Why are you angry at me? Just go fucking put your mask on and sit in a parking lot, you fucking pussies. Why are you coming after me? I know how to drive, and I know about infectious diseases. How about that?
Adam Hunter
I think there's a couple of things here.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Yeah, don't go to Costco, I guess.
Adam Hunter
Well, I think. Yeah, I think the one thing is that the three years people didn't drive because of COVID It's true.
Adam Carolla
That could be it. So that you're combining these two. Yeah, that's good comic sense there.
Adam Hunter
Also defunding the police so there's less people getting ticked. Tickets. So now you.
Jason Mayhem Miller
More shitty drivers.
Adam Hunter
More shitty drivers. And then on top of the fact that you grew up in a generation where you didn't have the beeping, the.
Adam Carolla
Light, I grew up with the human stick of dynamite. Slide for life. And now the fireman's challenge.
Adam Hunter
Everything telling you what to do.
Adam Carolla
No, we figure that shit out ourselves.
Adam Hunter
So now it's like, you don't. Now these people, if they don't have something going beep and a light going off. So there are all these warnings are taking away their fact. It's like, why? I don't like chatgpt. My wife's all about it, and she's like, she's doing all this, and I'm like, no, I want to be able to, you know, know this for myself. I don't want to be able to say three words and have a whole fucking paper written.
Adam Carolla
And technology. Yeah, all right. Now they can't find the human stick of dynamite.
Jason Mayhem Miller
I'm beginning to believe that you just, like, made all this stuff.
Adam Carolla
I'm getting. I'm getting very disappointed in the Internet.
Jason Mayhem Miller
I don't know.
Adam Carolla
I don't want to live in a.
Jason Mayhem Miller
World you can't see the human stick of dynamite.
Adam Carolla
You can find all the revenge porn you want, but no human stick of dynamite. What kind of Internet is this? I'm a Christian. You know what I'm saying?
Adam Hunter
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
So now, Dawson, we have seen it before. So if human stick of dynamite is not coming up.
Adam Hunter
Is this why you're so brilliant? Because you can't let shit go?
Jason Mayhem Miller
Yeah, that's what happens. Yeah. Hyper fixation.
Adam Carolla
I don't know. Most women don't use the word brilliant because they can't let shit go. They use other things before. Can't let shit go.
Adam Hunter
But this is why you've been so successful. I totally get it.
Adam Carolla
A ship gets stuck in my craw. That's. I got a huge gaping craw and everything gets stuck in it. My crossfold.
Adam Hunter
But that's. But that's why you're so. Because you like things that when you're doing something else, you're still stuck on that human.
Adam Carolla
I'm still stuck on my human stick of dynamite. We've seen it before, Dawson, so we're gonna have to call it something else. Check engine light on.

Adam Hunter
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
Adam Carolla
Riley Auto Parts. That's. And find it. But what's up with the Internet?
Dawson
So strange.
Adam Carolla
This was a popular pastime. No, I think today the drag race.
Jason Mayhem Miller
They erased everything up to 77. So.
Adam Hunter
Yeah.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Come on. There's a finite Internet out there, ace. You gotta scrub some of this.
Adam Hunter
I wouldn't be surprised. He know mayhem knows shit that like he's.
Adam Carolla
He does. Oh, he's been on the dark random.
Adam Hunter
Chickens and stuff and what he knew where but the eggs came out of the other day.
Jason Mayhem Miller
The claaka.
Adam Hunter
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
Let me ask you this. Changing gears but I'm going to go nuts if I can't find this human stick. He blows himself up I am so.
Adam Hunter
Upset that I brought how I met you.
Adam Carolla
All right, we'll find it. It's going to. Something's going to come up. I know it will. Now, by the way, Byron, do not show me Ponch and Larry Wilcox hang gliding from a chip episode. It's a guy and he goes into a big styrofoam cooler in the middle of an infield with a stick of dynamite. He lays in a box and he blows himself up. Oh, it only took you 20 minutes.
Jason Mayhem Miller
No, no, I know it's not called the human stick of dynamite. It's called like the explosive dude or something.
Adam Hunter
What, did you hang out with him somehow?
Jason Mayhem Miller
Yeah, I think so.
Adam Hunter
At a party.
Jason Mayhem Miller
We just smoked weed together.
Adam Carolla
First off, I'll bet you there are many people who engage in this behavior because all it takes is a big styrofoam cooler. I know, and like an M200 and a willingness to get paid and any fucking. There's no special training or degree you get. You just gotta fucking put a football helmet on and three windbreakers and lay down in a styrofoam casket and blow yourself up.
Adam Hunter
I mean, isn't this what Jackass became like?
Jason Mayhem Miller
No, but he did that in like sporting events. Yeah, there's in the 80s too. He was still around.
Adam Carolla
They had that like the drag races would have the human stick of dynamite. If you go to the drag races.
Dawson
As I. All right, as I entered a search for human stick of dynamite, I did put in 1970s and I found a 28 minute video called Pro Stock Drag Racing of the 70s.
Adam Carolla
Oh, okay.
Dawson
So I'm going through the shit.
Adam Carolla
I think it'll be in there.
Adam Hunter
He's a great voice.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, yeah, 10 cent head, but the voice is still. Yeah, Scramble through that and I think you'll find it within. That may have been how we found it last time. All right, so I got another subject.
Jason Mayhem Miller
All right, hit me.
Adam Carolla
Realtors. You tell me what you think. I am wildly disappointed in realtors and I'm disappointed in realtors. I've spoke about this many times. They don't know shit about their own product. And it's the new version of car dealer salesmen. They don't know shit about their product either. So I mean, but let's really just break it down. If you go into. I went to a farmer's market once and there's a couple of chicks who made their own olive oil and they were charging like 14 bucks for their hand pressed olive oil. And both these two chicks did 20 minutes on this Olive oil and how it was cold pressed and fused with this and how you don't. Many other places heat their olive oil and that kills this molecular whatever. That's $15 bottle of olive oil.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
You go in to buy 2.5 million dollar house and you go, what's the square footage on this? I go, did you check the sheet?
Adam Hunter
Oh, yeah.
Adam Carolla
Can you just, just commit the square. 2,583ft or whatever the fuck it is. Just look at that.
Adam Hunter
You looking for a house now? Is that what.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, my house is burned down or I can't go to my house mouth. And then you go, well, what year's the house? And they go, did you check this sheet? And it's like, okay, it's $2.5 million. Can you sit down with this sheet the night before and commit a couple of numbers to your head?
Jason Mayhem Miller
Seems pretty important.
Adam Carolla
Square footage may come up. The year it was built may come up like, these are all things that may come up with this 2.5 million. Because if you go to the fucking Mac store and you try to buy a phone for a thousand bucks, that person's gonna know everything about that fucking phone. Yeah, this isn't a thousand, this 2.5 million.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
And your commission is gonna be $123,000. Can you get your shit together for a minute? Just, can you do that?
Adam Hunter
I think there's a couple of things here. Number one, I don't think realtors, the first thing people go into, I think they'd be hard to become a model.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Or an actor, fall out of something and then become a realtor.
Adam Hunter
And then you're like, I need to make some money.
Adam Carolla
You're right.
Adam Hunter
And then you take like a one week course or something. You got to pass a test.
Adam Carolla
Also, realtor is a job that attracts lazy people because they go, you know, this guy knows guys. A realtor works. He's in the Beverly Hills, Holmby Hills area. Guy made $322,000 off a commission. Sold the fucking house on the second day. Just showed up in Method. All he did is put out donuts. And the fucking guy paid cash and he gets 300. And they go, well, that sounds a lot better than working right and doing shit, memorizing shit. Yeah, yeah. They're oftentimes good looking dingbats. Men, men and women. There's good looking dudes or dudes, they look like models and they don't know shit. And by the way, they don't care that they don't know shit. They're like, Check the page.
Adam Hunter
I know, I know this because I thought about doing it. I was like, you know what? Because you meet people, you're like, holy shit, you can become. But also there's so many part time realtors.
Adam Carolla
Yeah.
Adam Hunter
People have like three other jobs. And realtor. Oh, I am this, I'm a that, I'm that. Yeah.
Jason Mayhem Miller
I mean, ladder climbing fireman and a realtor.
Adam Carolla
Right.
Adam Hunter
And there's also a porno realtor. You ever watch that porn thing where like the hot.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Yeah.
Adam Hunter
Sells you a porno and then a house and then you find the banging her. Like how many jobs do you make a porno version where you actually believe it?
Adam Carolla
Yeah, it's true.
Jason Mayhem Miller
True. Yeah, yeah.
Adam Carolla
There's not. Yeah. Cpa, other jobs like that. Working at an AIDS hospice, stuff like that.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Plumber.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, plumber. Maybe some porn possibilities. So I go. So I have this two real estate things. One is I go, look at this place in Pasadena. Work, live, loft, whatever. Some shit that was popular 10 years ago that we gave up on where you're going to work and live in the same place or whatever. But I said, I'll take a look at it. So I come pulling up to the building, but the building has like 100 units in it, you know, So I go park like down underneath and I go, I don't know where this bitch is. So I go walk around and I just go to the. Oh, the lobby, the front door. Like the front lobby. And I just call her and I go, I'm at the front lobby. And she goes, oh, you're not supposed. She's Chinese. You're not supposed to go to the front lobby. Go round, go round to the other side. And I'm like, I'm thinking. Or you just fucking come to lobby. Like you just come to the lobby, bitch. I don't know what, I don't know the building. But okay, so then go around to the side, around the block. Like it's a big block. And I go to another like side lobby door. And I go, I'm at the side. She's. It's near where the parking is. I go, I'm at the opening of the parking. Parking with the. At the side lobby door. And she goes, oh, no, that's not the right place.
Jason Mayhem Miller
And I'm like, I just had you jogging around.
Adam Carolla
Take a picture of the door and go, I'm waiting out. I'm on the sidewalk, I'm here. She goes, no, that's not the right place. Go. Go into the parking structure. There's a door Start going in, like wandering through the parking lot last week.
Adam Hunter
This is.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, like five days ago. And at some point, oh, there she is at the weird side door that's unmarked inside the parking structure. And I'm like, oh, okay. Then we walk in, and when you look to the right, you see the fucking lobby. I was standing by. And then later on we go look around and she comes down the elevate. The place is above the lobby. Later we go down, she goes, you want to see the lobby? I was like, yeah.
Adam Hunter
So you're not going to take it?
Adam Carolla
I'm just saying, like, doing your job. I'm just saying. I'm standing in the lobby. You want to just come down the lobby and want me to walk out?
Adam Hunter
He's trying to sell you the place and you're doing the work.
Adam Carolla
Going down the street to another lobby and then standing out front of that door.
Jason Mayhem Miller
If I'm a realtor, a cursory investigation. Just Google your name would let me know. I have to treat this guy with some gloves or he's going to bitch about it on the show.
Adam Hunter
How about he has money enough to even buy the place.
Adam Carolla
It's also this huge complex where there's a bunch of metal fire doors. You don't know where they go, but there is one lobby.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
And that's where I'll be. Not good enough.
Adam Hunter
I remember hanging out with you at Russell Peters place years ago. We were watching a boxing match and you were checking his plumbing for him. You were looking. I couldn't believe it.
Adam Carolla
That's a gay thing. Mayhem. You wouldn't know.
Jason Mayhem Miller
I got it.
Adam Hunter
No, you really were. You were going around. He was like, hey, look at these pipes. At that place in Hollywood.
Adam Carolla
Yeah.
Adam Hunter
Like you for Real World.
Adam Carolla
I was like, I used to be a contractor. So then. Human stick of dynamite. Yeah. We gotta find it. Don't have it. We'll find it. We're gonna find it. I've seen it before on this show. So then I go to the next place, and I'm. By the way, I'm just bouncing from open house to open house, open house. I don't even know what I'm looking for. And I go to this place on the top of a hill. Like there are places in Glendale, La Canada where you can just keep whining and whining and whining. All miles away from civilization at the top of a hill. At the top of this hill and the open house. Open houses are from 2 to 4. I don't know. Why can't you Give us a little window there. Like, how about noon to 4? What are you fucking doing? You got a modeling gig.
Adam Hunter
You're like the Larry David. If he was like a tougher Larry David. Well, if he could kick your ass.
Adam Carolla
You know what? Realize that, you know, you go at some point.
Adam Hunter
I love this show. He tells you his problem. This is the greatest show ever.
Adam Carolla
Don't you think it should be noon to 4 on a Sunday? Why is the window so small for the. The two.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Five million dollar sandwiches will go bad if they're out.
Adam Hunter
I mean, you would think that you'd want to get the most people possible. And if on a Sunday where everyone's off, 12 to 4 would be.
Jason Mayhem Miller
No, no. The strategy is to pack you all in there, make you fight to the death of the house.
Adam Carolla
Maybe they're trying to get. Maybe they're a little competition. Yeah, a little cage.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Exactly. I used to.
Adam Hunter
Lady, you're so good with human instinct. Whenever I have a human instinct problem.
Adam Carolla
He knows because he's everyone. Mayhem's everyone's id. You know what I mean? He's like us stripped down. Strip stripped of all the pretense. That's mayhem.
Adam Hunter
He was calling me from jail and I was telling him my problems. Yeah, yeah.
Jason Mayhem Miller
I was casually listening. Yeah, I was your therapist. That's what you paid Global Tele 100.
Adam Carolla
So I go to this place and I realize it's like 405 or even later. Like, it's like. It's like a half hour after closing, right? But it's all the way up a windy, windy road off the 2. The 134, the 1. I mean, it's way at the top of this hill, and you are half hour away from civilization at the top of this hill. So I go to the top of the hill and I get there and the guy's kind of packing up, but he's okay enough, looks like a model. And he goes, oh, yeah, I was just about to leave, but yeah, yeah, come in, take a pass, go through, take a look around, Take a look around. Realize that, you know, probably drank a little too much coffee on the way up. And I'm standing there, and I'm just standing next to, like an entry hall, single commode, bathroom, just sitting there. The door's open, and I gotta pick a piss. And I'm also doing the math. Like, I'm nowhere near home or gas station or anything. And I got the coffee piss thing going. Like, oh, it's hitting me now. So he goes, all right, so you take a Flyer, you got everything you need? Check the thing out. Did the thing. I go, yeah, yeah, no one's there. Just me and him, right? And I go, hey, could I hit the bathroom real quick before I head out? And he goes, not allowed to use the bathroom.
Adam Hunter
Oh, come on.
Adam Carolla
I swear to God, I swear to God, I'm standing there.
Adam Hunter
You got all use bathrooms. I'm gonna buy a place from you, but I can't take a piss.
Adam Carolla
I'm saying, whether it's meet me in the lobby or I don't know how many square feet it is, or I don't know what year it was built in, or you can't take a piss. Why are you doing this to people? For two and a half million dollars, Zoom.
Adam Hunter
People have cut off human interaction. Zoom has killed people. No one knows how to deal with anybody anymore.
Adam Carolla
Is that what it is?
Jason Mayhem Miller
Maybe a nation of sociopaths.
Adam Hunter
I mean, it seemed like this wouldn't have happened 20 years ago.
Adam Carolla
Well, what they didn't really get is a sort of customers king kind of thing. They got a. You're the king. You know what I mean? And I get, you know, if you're selling the house, someone says, look, if a hobo comes in here and wants to take a shit, shoo him away. But if a fucking high roller comes in here and has to do with tinkle, hold it. Fucking shake his dick.
Adam Hunter
I did read the Matthew Perry book where he would go and he would go to open houses and steal their medication.
Adam Carolla
Oh, yeah.
Adam Hunter
That's how he was getting drugs.
Adam Carolla
Oh, yeah. No, that was a real thing that junkies. The junkies do.
Adam Hunter
Yeah, yeah.
Adam Carolla
God. Ryan Leaf, was it, who was the quarterback?
Adam Hunter
Ryan Leaf? Yeah, yeah.
Adam Carolla
NFL playmatt. He told me, he came in here and told me that he just couldn't rob the people. I was. I was at an open. I was at an open house yesterday and I wanted, as an actor.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Vicodin.
Adam Carolla
Yes. No. As an ex cabinet builder, you can kind of tell a lot by just walking into a bathroom or kitchen or something. Open the drawer, feel the action. You know, they full. Full extension, ball bearing, accuride slides from Germany or. And they've got a dovetail joint or is it just some IKEA shit? But together with bad action, you know, you can feel cheap for sure.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
Feel cheap cabinets. So I was like, somebody was just wandering around the house. I went to the bathroom, went to the Pullman, the sink with the cabinet, you know, I was like, I don't see if that's a good cabinet or not. I just opened the drawer. There's a thing of pills. Nice there. And I was just. For like a fleeting second, I was like, let's crush that up and snort that shit right now. No, I just looked at it and I went, well, I bet that's for something. But if I was a junkie.
Adam Hunter
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. No, I wouldn't even think of that. I wouldn't even think about doing that. But that's like if you're. If you're Matthew Perry and you're hooked on all kinds of stuff, you go to these millionaire houses, you know they're going to have medication and you go in there. It's crazy.
Adam Carolla
It's crazy. But I'll tell you who the real victim is. The 26 year old stepson who's out of rehab for Vicodin and staying with them. And then the dad. Dad's like, I had 13 Vicodin in this thing two days ago. You fucking go talk to your son or I will. And then he's like, I didn't. Oh, don't bullshit a bullshitter. There were 13. You think the guy from friends. You think the guy from friends stole them? You prick. Get out of this house. Get out.
Adam Hunter
My stepmom found my, my sister's weed when she was like 11 and was like, this is. No, it was actually my dad's weed. And she found it and blamed my sister.
Adam Carolla
Oh, yeah.
Adam Hunter
And then her sister's friend covered for her. Like, that was a good friend. She said, no, it was mine, but it was really my dad. But yeah, meanwhile, it doesn't matter where you live now because someone, somebody drove into my house about two years ago, July 4th. I'm packing to go to off the hook the night before. And then it's like midnight. Midnight. All of a sudden I'm in my.
Adam Carolla
Where are you living?
Adam Hunter
I'm in Winnetka. Winnetka, right by Woodland Hills. And I'm in the garage and I'm. I hear. That sounds pretty. This was pretty close. And then my house just shook.
Adam Carolla
Boom.
Adam Hunter
I'm like. So I, I go, my daughter, my wife, her, the mom is staying with us. Everyone get outside, you know, So I run outside. There's a car lodged into my garage, like, took out my gate.
Adam Carolla
Guy was doing the slide for life.
Adam Hunter
This guy hit two people and was trying to hit and run his cars, clearly get out. And then this guy gets out of his suv, black guy. And I'm like, hey, man, are you okay? He's like, I'm good. Takes off running and I'm a coach, so I'm like, hey, get down. Like.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Like.
Adam Hunter
Like, he took off running. And then I look in his car. He had fireworks in there. It was July 4th. And a tank of gas. He had like. I'm like, this thing might blow, and.
Adam Carolla
He had fireworks and.
Adam Hunter
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, like a gas can.
Adam Hunter
Yeah, like a gas can. I'm like, this thing might. So it was. That was crazy. And then. And then I had to go to a police lineup that never found them, but I found the guy in eight seconds because his car was in my house, you know? But the police. I call out the cops about.
Adam Carolla
Now. His car hits your garage.
Jason Mayhem Miller
It was like, on that, you're understood. It was, like, on the house, like a State Farm commercial.
Adam Hunter
If you look up, like, I saw.
Jason Mayhem Miller
It on the news.
Adam Carolla
Oh, really?
Jason Mayhem Miller
That's Adam's house.
Adam Carolla
Now, see, if we'd given this black guy a skill, he could fucking be down on PCX rebuilding shit. Instead of essentially becoming the human stick of dynamite.
Jason Mayhem Miller
You want to be the pch?
Adam Hunter
So then, like, I call up the. The cops, and I'm like. And then the guy picked up the phone. Volunteer sheriff. And I'm like, oh, they're not finding this guy. You know, the volunteer sheriff. Pick up the phone, it's over.
Adam Carolla
So what? How would we find a picture of this on the Internet?
Adam Hunter
I have it on. If you look up. Corbin. I don't want to give my address. Corbin. Hit and run, July 4th, I think. I think that might come in. And then.
Jason Mayhem Miller
No, he was on the news.
Adam Hunter
It was on the news.
Adam Carolla
Wow.
Jason Mayhem Miller
And literally gave.
Adam Hunter
And then. And then I had to go to a police lineup to pick him out. Right. But they don't. It's not like I thought it was gonna be like, a lineup. They hold up a picture of, like. Of like, eight black guys, right? And they're like, which one did it? And I was like, I have no. I don't know. I mean, it was night. It was midnight. Like, I can't. And then they never found it. The guy never arrested or anything. Like, he just. He just took off running.
Adam Carolla
How'd a guy do that? At my house, too? But he destroyed my car, and he took off running. And I had the same thing happen.
Adam Hunter
And they never found him.
Adam Carolla
White guy.
Adam Hunter
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
And they did. Well, what happens is they're drunk, and they realize if they stay there, they're getting a dui, so they flee, and then later on, you can't prove they were drunk or not.
Adam Hunter
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
And that's. That's what happens.
Adam Hunter
Exactly what happened? Exactly what happened.
Adam Carolla
And this guy never. They never found this guy? Never.
Adam Hunter
No, not that it mattered because, you know, I had. Luckily, like, even my insurance for my house, they wouldn't cut. They were. They're gonna cover it. But my wife was hitting them up like every week. They were like, oh, never responded. I finally blasted them on the Internet. Like, I posted the news story within. It was a Saturday. Within five minutes. Oh, I'm sorry, mister. I dropped the ball. And then they covered it. And then so. And I had the insurance policies covered it, but so it wasn't like I was gonn get any money out of this guy anyway.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Did you.
Adam Carolla
And they towed his suv.
Adam Hunter
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
Did you get the fireworks?
Adam Hunter

Adam Carolla
Along with fireworks.
Adam Hunter
Yes, yes, yes. 100. That's gonna happen.
Adam Carolla
All right, we'll see if we can find that. Dawson scrubs through Slide for Life. I believe it's called I've given up on the Slide for life, but the human stick of dynamite, I've not given up on.
Dawson
Dude, you should give up on that too.
Jason Mayhem Miller
No, I swear that. That like he's in the infield and blows himself up. I can see it. So crisp, clean in my memory.
Adam Carolla
We got a 230 year old man. We got 25 SUV. Oh, we got it.
Adam Hunter
Yeah, I don't have it on there, though.
Adam Carolla
All right, we're gonna look at the crash. I'll put it by my mic. That's you.
Adam Hunter
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
Wow. Yeah, it happened just.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Where are you going?
Adam Carolla
Where are you going? Black Mercedes. Say the Mercedes crashed into a car making a U turn at Corbin Avenue and Hart Street. That second around the corner after the.
Adam Hunter
Car lost control, you can see right.
Adam Carolla
Here, it went into a driveway, took out the gate to a home, and then crashed into a parked car and garage door. It also somehow clipped the roof. The driver took the roof as the homeowner confronted him.
Adam Hunter
The car is total.
Adam Carolla
I mean, I see it.
Adam Hunter
This was my car and it's probably.
Adam Carolla
It went over the top of your car.
Adam Hunter
Yeah, my garage is caved in. There's stuff on the other side of it.
Adam Carolla
This isn't funny. You want to punch it up a little bit? You're on camera. Come on.
Adam Hunter
The guy works for doordash.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
Oh, really?
Jason Mayhem Miller
No, you missed like a real. Like a moment for comedy there.
Adam Carolla
Wow, man, that is a. That is.
Jason Mayhem Miller
That's.
Adam Carolla
That is. You undersold that.
Adam Hunter
Yeah. Yeah.
Adam Carolla
That is spectacular. All right, I'm gonna give up the ghost on this human stick of dynamite. But I just, I just don't want to live in a world where the Internet does not have the human stick and dynamite. But I don't know now the human stick. All right, here's a question. You ready, Dawson?
Dawson
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
If you type in what was the name of the human stick of dynamite, and then Gary Hooper will come up and then we'll look for Gary Hooper. Shit, I don't know that his name is Gary Hooper, but I got a feeling that that guy had a name and went by that. So we'll figure that out. That is how well investigative journalists find it now. Nothing? No.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Damn it.
Adam Carolla
Oh, man. So what'd you type in?
Dawson
What was the name of the human stick of dynamite? Now I'm going to put quotes around human stick of dynamite.
Adam Carolla

Bye.

Adam Carolla
Adam Hunter's in studio. No directions. The name is Stand Upbound. Available Spotify and Apple Music wherever you find finder music. Well on subject, back in the day when I would be watching the human stick of Dynam slide for life, they had a very short lived female tackle league. And if you don't believe me, Charlie's Angels had an episode where they became football players only just to get them in the locker room, you know, basically with the towel that show them. Walk in the shower and the door would shut perfectly right. And see that it. It was exciting enough to see the towel hit the floor.
Adam Hunter
They have it now. My friend plays for one.
Adam Carolla
Oh, they do.
Adam Hunter
My friend, Destiny Yarborough. I remember she was on the podcast. She's like, pretty girl, but she's like, just Jack. Yeah, yeah, they have it. There's about, like, eight cities that have it. Tackle football.
Adam Carolla
Damn. It started in the 70s. They had ball, right?
Jason Mayhem Miller
And they really knocked.
Adam Hunter
No, it's cackle they have.
Adam Carolla
We're just talking about regular football.
Adam Hunter
Yeah, it's regular. Like, she's. She's like. She said she fought Gabby Garcia.
Jason Mayhem Miller
No. Yeah, the big. That really heavyweight woman fighter that we talked about a while back.
Adam Carolla
Oh, really?
Jason Mayhem Miller
Yeah. Gabby Garcia.
Adam Carolla
Did she fight her?
Jason Mayhem Miller
Yeah, fought her. What happened to that fight?
Adam Hunter
She hurt her. She rocked her, but then she lost. But then she got taken down and submitted.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Adam Carolla
All right, Dawson, before we get into the news, try typing in Daredevil.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Yep.
Adam Carolla
Blows himself up with dynamite. Now, be prepared, because at some point tomorrow, I'm gonna turn my phone on and some guy's gonna send me a tweet and he's gonna go, I typed in human, and then I just wrote the s. And five videos came up of a dude blowing, what the fuck is up?
Adam Hunter
You know, Jason almost lit up the Ultimate Fighter house.
Adam Carolla
Oh, really?
Adam Hunter
Didn't you set it on fire? Remember when you were coaching sounds and then your dog was there?
Jason Mayhem Miller
Oh, no. We were shooting fireworks off everywhere. Yeah. And underneath the balcony below us, a firework caught the cushions on fire and started I with all with me and a couple other fighters went out with water balloons and chucked it up at a thing. The dude who lived in that condo underneath came out and we hit him in the face. Kamaru Usman hit him in the face with a water balloon.
Adam Carolla
Wow. What are you gonna do?
Jason Mayhem Miller
Allegedly.
Adam Carolla
Wow.
Jason Mayhem Miller
And then he's like, I got it. I got it. And, like, poured out beers on the street.
Adam Carolla
Oh, really?
Jason Mayhem Miller
Saved the day.
Adam Carolla
I could hang with that guy.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Yeah. Yeah, you could. Yeah.
Adam Carolla
All right, news, what do we got?
Jason Mayhem Miller
All right, we've got a surprising twist on the ongoing debate over transgender athletes and women's sports. This time coming from none other than California governor Gavin Newsom himself during the debut episode of his brand new podcast, this is Gavin Newsom, which maybe you should get on Ace. The governor sat down with conservative activist Charlie Kirk and admitted that allowing biological males to compete in women's sports is, in his words, deeply unfair.
Adam Carolla
Oh, I'm sorry. We must have a clip of that. It's like you right now should come out and be like, you know what? The young man who's about to win the state championship and the long jump in female sports. That shouldn't happen. You, as the governor, should stay, step out and say, no, no. And I appreciate. And. But, like, would you do something like that? Would you say no?
Adam Hunter
Men in female sports.
Adam Carolla
Well, it's. I think it's an issue of fairness. I completely agree with you on that. So that's easy to call out the unfairness of that. There's also a humility and grace, you know, that. That these poor people are more likely to commit suicide. Anxiety and depression. That's your. The way that communities is down. All right, hold on. I have a hard time. Just blow hard. The way the people talk down to the vulnerable because they don't want fucking cocks and balls hurting girls in sports. That's it. I know you're worried about the way people talk down to vulnerable communities. Who the fuck are the vulnerable communities? Name them. And what are you gonna do for them, bitch? So you gotta listen this again. Because he does not denounce men competing against women. He does a kind of. He does a sort of vague. You're talking about the unfairness. Yeah, it's unfair. But what's unfair? What exactly are you talking about? And Charlie Kirk says to him, why don't you just come out right now and say it? And he goes, it's unfair. But he doesn't say it. You know what I'm saying? And then it's like, listen, here's how everyone is. Here's how everyone's full of shit. They go, listen, listen, I'm not anti Semitic. I have many friends that are Jewish. But you have to understand what's being done to the pal. It's always the but you must understand. And now that's what they really think. So watch this again and watch Gavin Newsom give a kind of vague tip of the cap to fairness and then go into the vulnerable community and suicide and people. He talks more about the community being vulnerable and suicide and people talking down to vulnerable communities than he does about sports, women and dudes. Just watch it again and tell me if this sounds like he's on the side of Charlie Kirk care. It's like you right now should come out and be like, you know what? The young man who's about to win the state championship in the long jump in Female sports, that's. That, that shouldn't happen. You as the governor should step out and say, no, no, and I appreciate, but like, would you do something like that?
Adam Hunter
Would you say no? Men in female sports.
Adam Carolla
Well, it's. I think it's an issue of fairness. I completely agree with you on that. So that's easy to call out. Pause, by the way. Fairness could be. Yeah, that's a two way street. Yeah, you go, I'm taking hormones. Identifies a woman. It's unfair to me to not to be able to compete on the women's swim team. So that's a vague answer, but keep going.
Adam Hunter
Female sports.
Adam Carolla
Well, I think it's an issue of fairness. I completely agree with you on that. So that's easy to call out the unfairness of that. There's also humility and grace. You know, that these poor people are more likely to commit suicide, have anxiety and depression. And the way that people talk down to vulnerable communities is an issue that I have a hard time with as well. So both things I can hold in my hand. Right? He says, he's like, he said nothing. He says nothing. And no one fucking gives a fuck if you want to talk or not. Douche.
Dawson
He said.
Adam Carolla
And yes, you have mental issues because you think you're a fucking chick and you're a dude.
Dawson
Yes, it's an issue of fairness. That's easy to point out and yet he doesn't go forward to point it out.
Adam Carolla
Right.
Dawson
He actually never says the whole premise.
Adam Hunter
Of him having a podcast now when all the things he has to do in California. So now everyone's just gonna ask him about this one thing, which isn't even the biggest issue in California.
Adam Carolla
But.
Adam Hunter
But you're 100% correct. He doesn't actually say. He says, oh, well, it's fairness. And then you could say, well, it's not fair if they're competing against. Yeah, there's a lot of governor and.
Jason Mayhem Miller
He has enough time to put a podcast. Like what? That's so weird.
Adam Carolla
Everyone should be a little suspicious when they're like, listen, Democrats, here's what we're gonna do. We're gonna pretend like we're sane so we can get elected, and then we can do all the shit no one wants. And it's like, why do that? Why are we even to fucking elect the people who are just pretending they're sane long enough to get elected and then they're gonna do all the shit they want and we don't want them to do? Why don't we just elect the people that weren't ever gonna do it in the first place.
Adam Hunter
So many kids are depressed. I mean, the kids are depressed. So all of a sudden, it's like what they were saying, well, would you rather have. Doctors were saying, would you rather have a dead daughter or a son? That's like. They were.
Adam Carolla
By the way, that's bullshit. Yes, but they fucking take statistics. They twist them. By the way. You think how many people died during the insurrection? Zero. How many do they say died? Lots of people died during the. They fucking lie. All they do is lie. They like, hey, my entire life I've been told about the scourge known as secondhand smoke, which kills 56,000Americans, except for it kills nobody. No, nobody. They lie about shit is dangerous. They lied all through Covid. They lie about danger all time to get you to shut up and do what they want you to do.
Adam Hunter
The Insurrection. The MSNBC lady, when she saw that kid that had cancer was like, well, I hope he doesn't grow up one day to have to commit suicide like the cop that did.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Yeah.
Adam Hunter
And you're like, you don't even know why. That's why. That. You're just making up an entire story to film your foot to fit your narrative.
Adam Carolla
Their fucking nut.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Oh, listen.
Adam Carolla
They went from the guy got bludgeoned with a fire extinguisher to the guy was poisoned by bear spray to the guy fell asleep at his desk and died. And they got guys who killed themselves six months later who weren't even there. That's part of the tally. Shut the fuck up, you liars. We have the. We have Captain Dynamite Dawson found. How did you find?
Dawson
Daredevil Blows Himself up with Dynamite. Yielded it a Los Angeles Times article. Then a new search for Captain Dynamite.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Yeah.
Dawson
Came up with this.
Adam Hunter
This is why you are where you are. You're not giving up.
Adam Carolla
I'm not giving up.
Jason Mayhem Miller
This tenacious call up.
Adam Carolla
That's right. Captain Dynamite, who I'm I'm guessing is the guy wearing the captain's hat.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Yeah. Dragged out his own coffin and he's.
Adam Carolla
Got a green outfit. How pissed is this guy's wife?
Jason Mayhem Miller
Every day just blows the second face.
Adam Carolla
Of a AAA game.
Adam Hunter
It's probably set it up. Oh, wow.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Hell, yeah.
Adam Hunter
That was worth it.
Adam Carolla
I was worth it.
Adam Hunter
You were.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Look at Captain Dynamite stumbling around.
Adam Hunter
Wow.
Adam Carolla
I like the idea that Captain Dynamite wears a helmet but not a full face. Guys, come on. That's an extra 80 bucks.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Oh, I would wear that jacket, though, for sure.
Adam Carolla
Oh, wow.
Jason Mayhem Miller
He looks like beef jerky.
Adam Hunter
Did it hurt?
Adam Carolla
When it blew.
Dawson
See, am I a little bit crazy?
Jason Mayhem Miller
He can't hear anything.
Adam Carolla
He can't hear.
Adam Hunter
Yeah. You think H did on purpose not to hear his wife?
Adam Carolla
Captain is meeting the players. He's meeting the fans. Doing some ass. Captain.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Hey, Captain Dynamite.
Adam Hunter
It's so funny you and Jason linked up because here's what, like, you will not let go till we see Captain Dynamite. He's fight GSP and getting punched in the face and starts laughing.
Adam Carolla
Oh, I didn't even know that happened.
Adam Hunter
His first UFC fight, GSP was beating the out of him, punching him, and.
Jason Mayhem Miller
He arguing with him.
Adam Hunter
He starts laughing. And then the announcer, Rogan goes, oh, Mayhem has retard strength. Like, oh, really? Yeah. On the broadcast, he says he has retard strength.
Adam Carolla
Well, that's worth it. Worth a dive on the Internet. All right, what's our next story?
Jason Mayhem Miller
Next story. Look, let's just jump right into. Since everyone's having a hard time. Virginia high school track and field star's attempt to get into first place during the race last week led to an opponent to hit her with a baton, causing head injuries. During the Virginia High School League Class 3 State Indoor Championships at Liberty University, 200 meter relay race took a violent turn. Brookville High school school junior Kalyn Tucker was running her leg of the relay. And we have some video here. She was struck in the head by a baton competitor from Norcom High School. And really, look. Look at. Yeah, Bass, run that back if you can't. There we go. Yeah. If you didn't catch it there.
Adam Carolla
She saw her hair smash.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Yeah, yeah. She said the lady who hit her claims the strike was accidental.
Adam Carolla
There's a clip of it somewhere. But I'm gonna ask you. You'll find the clip of her talking.
Adam Hunter
You know what's sad is that I'm happy this isn't about a trans racer. That's the first thing I thought of when I Exactly.
Adam Carolla
Flats beating the shit out of each other. We're back, everybody. Simpler times. America, our grandparents grew up in. All right, there's a couple things I'm going to ask you, Andrew, to look for. I liked this tweet that had her, and I liked the tweet yesterday. I think of a woman who was. It's the 60th year of the Pettus Bridge crossing in Selma, Alabama.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Yeah. What?
Adam Carolla
Yeah, 60 years of civil rights stuff. And they interviewed a woman who was like 8 or 10 at the time who crossed the bridge. And she's talking about National Guardsmen and billy clubs and stuff like that. I Like that tweet and this tweet. And we'll find it. Take your time. But I'll tell you. I'll tell you why I liked it. I had a sad thought. You know, the sad thoughts are like, when you go to a ballpark and you buy a beer and it comes in a plastic bottle, and I would never buy beer in a plastic bottle if I was sitting around at my house. But you have the plastic bottle because two people threw the glass bottle out on the field. And then there's a part of you that has a feeling, and it's the same feeling. Like when you see the park benches and they got a bunch of speed bumps on them, it's like, yeah, too many hobos shooting up and they fall asleep, and we're trying to deter these people. And you see the freeway signs in LA and there's barbed wire around it, and you go, oh, sad. Yeah, you know, sad that we didn't have to do this in the past. They give you a fucking beer stein.
Adam Hunter
Like cvs, and everything's empty in a.
Adam Carolla
Cage, you know, everything's cvs, and you're there and you're like, I'm trying to buy aspirin. Like, press the button for the attendant, and you're like, oh, it's sad. And now we're gonna have to take the aluminum batons used for the last 70 years in relay races and make them out of balsa wood because too many black chicks are beating the shit.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Out of each other.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, it was one beer bottle that took out that manager in 1979.
Adam Hunter
I mean, what. What if she actually. It was an accident.
Jason Mayhem Miller
That's what she said.
Adam Hunter
Is there any chance.
Jason Mayhem Miller
I know my intentions. I would never hit someone on purpose.
Adam Hunter
Is there any. Because she was in third place, it wasn't like she was gonna win.
Adam Carolla
If there's ever an excuse for punching a black chick in the back of the head, it's during a relay. It's not like you're at a club. You know, your arms are flopping. But she did.
Adam Hunter
But wouldn't this be a better sport?
Adam Carolla
Anyway, I would watch. I would tend to watch it.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Yeah, for sure. We're watching now.
Adam Carolla
I will tell you this. There's some people, especially people that have a physical nature where they might do something and have no recollection of that act. They go, I'm not the type of person. You're not. But in that millisecond, you were. You know what I mean?
Adam Hunter
It's true.
Adam Carolla
There's no. Every woman I know Says she's not violent, but step on her foot in the kitchen, watch her hand come sailing out in your chest. It's a reaction.
Adam Hunter
My wife threw a sandwich at me once. Time.
Adam Carolla
Yeah.
Adam Hunter
And then texted me. Did you eat the sandwich I threw at your head?
Adam Carolla
What kind of sandwich was it?
Adam Hunter
The turkey sandwich. Pretty good, actually. Of course I ate it.
Adam Carolla
I'll tell you when you watch these tweets. We'll watch the. The chick who was running in the relay, first she's given an interview.
Adam Hunter
I kind of believe her. I don't know why.
Jason Mayhem Miller
It's kind of. You know what it is? It's the Mike Tyson thing. Like, she was fouling her during the thing, and she just reacted.
Adam Carolla
I'm telling you, when I did Dancing with the Stars and I was done my first dance, they're like, you called Carrie Anunami a bitch. And I walked off stage and I went, no, I didn't. And they go, you called her a bitch? And I was like, no, I didn't. Why would I say. I didn't say that. And then I watched a tape, and she was like, I give Adam a two. And I go, bitch. You know what I mean? It's like I said it. I, I, I. And I'm pretty tuned up. And I had. I was.
Adam Hunter
Don't you have good footwork?
Adam Carolla
Sorry. I. The point is, I did something and I said I did not do it, and I did do it, and I saw it right on tape. So, yeah, she can kind of. People are capable of a lot, right? So we'll show. But let's listen to her. Just listen to it.
Adam Hunter
The tears got me. I'm no person by myself. Nobody's going to believe me because I can admit from the video, it does look purposeful, but I know my intentions, and I would never hit somebody on purpose. I'm just a person by myself. Nobody's gonna believe me because I'm a sucker.
Adam Carolla
I believe her from the video.
Jason Mayhem Miller
No, I. Dude, in competition, like, if you're not cheating, you're not trying.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. You're not robbing. You're not racing.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Yeah, exactly. And they were. She was knocking up against. If you notice, early in the video, they're kind of bumping during the past. And she just lost.
Adam Hunter
Like when you gave your opponent a noogie during a fight.
Adam Carolla
Yeah.
Adam Hunter
Was that on purpose?
Jason Mayhem Miller
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Adam Hunter
Like you knew you were gonna give him a noogie.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Look, I was showcasing that. This guy doesn't want to fight. He just wants to hug me. So I gave him a Little nugget. You did? Yeah.
Adam Carolla
All right, now do we have fans?
Jason Mayhem Miller
Understood. They knew what I was doing.
Adam Carolla
Do we have. The 60 something year old woman who marched across the Edmund Pettus bridge was probably a klansman that built that bridge like 1951. Yeah, I will play her and then I'll circle back.
Jason Mayhem Miller
What am I watching?
Adam Carolla
Well, we're not watching whatever I asked for, I guess is what I'm saying.
Adam Hunter
I couldn't have been 68.
Adam Carolla
That's a 68 year old woman talking about crossing the bridge with.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Oh, they're crossing the bridge again.
Adam Carolla
Well, it's a 68 year old woman talking about crossing the bridge and cops and billy clubs and stuff that I like. Tweet. But if it. Whether it's the slide for life or the crossing of the bridge, if it doesn't resemble what I said at all, then probably. It's probably not what I was asking for.
Adam Hunter
You think he's doing this on purpose? Because it's kind of funny.
Adam Carolla
It is funny. It is funny. But we'll find that. But again, it'll be at. Whether it's human stick, a dynamite or slide for life, it won't involve a ladder and five guys. It'll be as described.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Captain dynamite.
Adam Carolla
I'll have you know, Captain dynamite, the human stick of dynamite, needs a publicist because he's nowhere to be found on the Internet. And yet here's captain dynamite just taking all the glory. All I know is ripping off the human stick of dynamite.
Jason Mayhem Miller
He was. He was. He's like Gallagher's brother.
Adam Carolla
Yes. Ripping off the genius of the pioneer.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Well, I know they have this back there. Beloved of Simpsons inspired treehouse falls to bureaucratic bulldozers. Here's a story to make you shake your head. The cherished Simpsons inspired treehouse crafted by former simpsons producer Rick Polizzi, has been demolished. We've been following it. The whimsical structure has been Sherman oaks neighborhood favorite. Bringing joy is the countless.
Adam Carolla
Saw it in person.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Saw it in person before it died.
Adam Carolla
Before it died. I saw it. I was like, now the seven year.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Battle with the city officials is over.
Adam Hunter
Why can't he have it?
Jason Mayhem Miller
Because can he have it?
Adam Carolla
He lives in Los Angeles. He didn't ask permission to build it.
Adam Hunter
Seriously. It's his backyard.
Jason Mayhem Miller
No, it's been 20 years ago. He didn't have a permit for it. And here in California that's a death sentence. Yeah, they tore down the tree. Tree house and yeah, it's over with.
Adam Hunter
Who? Who snitched on him?
Jason Mayhem Miller
That neighbor was mad that people were coming and it was getting a lot of attention. And some. One Karen ruins the whole deal. Yep.
Adam Hunter
Was it Smithers?
Adam Carolla
Yeah, there is a couple. There's a couple things. There's a, like, I got a, like, tweet of this guy talking while they're tearing it down. But I also got that other Edmund Pettus Bridge Lady, 68, with the brooch who's talking. And there's a whole reason why I'm weaving this elaborate tapestry.
Jason Mayhem Miller
We see, we see.
Adam Carolla
And you'll see it. But you're gonna have to find that vid of her first and then.
Adam Hunter
Wait, are you gonna put everything together?
Adam Carolla
I'm gonna tie it all in the.
Adam Hunter
Dynamite too, or no.
Adam Carolla
All right, let's not get over our skis, Adam. But I got a lot of tying in to do.
Adam Hunter
That's amazing.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. Hmm. This lady. Now, somebody tweeted to me yesterday and I liked it. And it's a woman who's a woman of color with a big brooch, who's 70, who's talking about walking across the bridge. All right? But also this guy, this guy is out filming while, by the way, Mexicans are taking down his treehouse. Now. They're just backing out all the screws. The most dangerous thing you could do at this point with this treehouse is try to demolish it. Like, these guys are standing out there, reaching over their head, taking a floor down above me. Like, you want to get someone hurt? Tell him to take this tree house down. It's ironic that LA just burned to the ground and there's thousands of structures. And this is their focus. Their focus is this taxpayer and his tree house number one. And by the way, they will fuck your shit up because they have endless amounts of time and endless amounts of money to fight you. You have to pay a lawyer billable hours. You gotta go find some jack off in Reseda and give him 400 bucks an hour to represent you fighting the city, which is going to cost you tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Jason Mayhem Miller
50 grand.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, 50 grand. And now he's paying to take it down.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Exactly. Yeah.
Adam Carolla
Also, if you, in fact, homeless, and you like to build a two story plywood shelter with Visqueen on city property, by the way, on a sidewalk or the LA river, no problemo. Sin's got no thoughts about you. You, who is a junkie who does not pay taxes, you may build as much shit as you want along the highways and the byways here in Southern California. But you, who worked for the Simpsons and pays your Property taxes and has paid in millions of tax dollars. Are not allowed to build something at your own expense that the kids in the neighborhood enjoy.
Adam Hunter
And all the joy he's brought to people from the Simpsons over the years. Yes, yes.
Adam Carolla
So there is that vid, which exists, and then there's also the Edmund Pettus one as well. And I know it exists because people just send them to me and I like them. So we could probably find.
Adam Hunter
I mean, it's crazy. That's hurting nobody. That's not hurting anybody.
Adam Carolla
Oh, we've left the realm of logic a long time ago. All right, One of those videos has to exist, so just put it on the thing and play. Put it on my screen, Lizzy. We are out here today because the treehouse that I built with a carpenter friend 24 years ago and he's gay coming down. The city has started a criminal trial on it. And that trial, not if you're homeless. Wednesday.
Adam Hunter
And the city is going to make me pay for court costs and just.
Adam Carolla
Kind of being a bully. And so I'm taking it down.
Adam Hunter
We're paying for it to get taken down.
Adam Carolla
So they dismiss the charges. I do not want to go to court on Wednesday.
Adam Hunter
So that's why this is all coming down.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. All right, pause it. Good news, Nashville. Your next resident is coming from Sherman Oaks because people get fucking tired of this shit. They get tired of being treated like a criminal when they're a taxpayer and they turn the other way and look the other way at the actual criminals.
Adam Hunter
But I feel like Jon Lovitz could play him in the movie.
Adam Carolla
He'd be like, they took the treehouse down. Yeah, that's the ticket. Yeah, Lovitz could play him. He probably worked with Lovitz doing some VO shit for the Simpsons. And they definitely. Some writer's assistant said, we got to get a picture.
Adam Hunter
Love is one of the funniest people.
Adam Carolla
I love that guy.
Adam Hunter
So funny.
Adam Carolla
All right, now there's only one liked video left to find and you can put whatever information you have on my screen in front of me, but that's the Edmund Pettus Middle aged, 65 year old woman who was walking and being beaten. It's weird. Oh, well, I know you're five days into my liked tweets, but this is from yesterday, so it's possible. Maybe. Is it possible I didn't like it? Dawson, you ever see this vid?
Jason Mayhem Miller
Maybe not. Maybe you clicked it twice.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, maybe I clicked it twice. Maybe I screwed that. If I would have liked it, it was from yesterday. If not from yesterday. Then it means I missed it or I looked at it, but I didn't like. But it was from Fox News yesterday. Dawson, you find it? Check engine light on. Take the guesswork out of your check engine light with O'Reilly Veriscan. It's free and provides a report with solutions based on over 650 million vehicle scans verified by ASE certified master technicians. And if you need help, we can recommend a shot for you. Ask for O'Reilly Variscan today.
Adam Hunter
Oh, oh, oh.
Adam Carolla
O'Reilly Auto Parts. 68 year old woman Edmund Pettus saying she was there. And then I'll tie it all together. We'll find it. All right, go ahead.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Yeah. In the meantime, there's a heated controversy unfolding in San Francisco where local spa's decision to implement a phallus free policy has ignited passionate discussions about inclusivity, women's rights and the boundaries of gender identity.
Adam Carolla
This is called bitten by your own snake. They invent this shit and then at some point it all comes for them.
Adam Hunter
It's a Russian spa, though, so that's why she's not having it.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Yeah. Spot question. Known for women's only spaces that have recently come under fire for enforcing a policy that excludes individuals with male genitalia regardless of their gender identity, this move has been both lauded and criticized, reflecting the complex and often contentious nature of gender politics. Today statement, the representative from the spa explained, our priority is to provide a comfortable and safe environment for our clients. This policy is in place to respect the privacy and comfort of our patrons. However, this policy has sparked protests from transgender rights activists who argue it discriminates against transgender women. One activist stated, policy like this invalidate our identities and perpetuate exclusion.
Adam Carolla
Yeah.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Conversely, some women's rights advocates support the spa's stance, asserting that women have the right to single sex spaces free from male anatomy.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. First off, we've had these policies since Roman days. Like, why in the last 10 minutes did we decide the ladies locker room and the men's locker room was broken? It was so clear cut, so defined, so easy. What the fuck happened the last 20 minutes?
Adam Hunter
But you get people though, from Russia. They're not people from other countries.
Adam Carolla
They don't get this shit.
Adam Hunter
They're like, no, this is for women and this is for men.
Adam Carolla
Like, right.
Adam Hunter
It's just like that. If it was owned by some type of, you know, I don't know, younger gen. Gen Z, like, they might say, you know what? This is inclusive to everyone. But it's like certain people are just like Nope, Sorry. Women, men out.
Adam Carolla
Well, certain countries are sane and they're like, they're saner than we are.
Jason Mayhem Miller
It's going through a thing. We always overcorrect. That's what it is. We feel bad that trans people got beat up in the bathroom, but now we're like, dude, well, remember the video.
Adam Hunter
Of that black woman when the guy went into the girls bathroom and it had a dick?
Adam Carolla
Yeah. Yes.
Adam Hunter
And that. What that black woman was like, are you. And went crazy like. Like, you can't convince a black woman that. That. That's okay.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Yeah, it's.
Adam Carolla
It's. You know that especially that term is called from the mouth of babes, but it should be from the mouth of blacks because the mouth, they just say what it is. That dick. That dude's got a dick. What's he doing? And all the Karen's like, well, you can't say what he had. What are you talking about? Swinging around. Like, they literally just go, here's what's happening. I'm black. I'm gonna tell you exactly what's happening. I'm not gonna pretend. I mean, your weird fucking cult.
Adam Hunter
I was with my. My daughter and. And her little friend who's black, and their mom and some girl hit. My daughter hit scratch. My daughter was like those big Lego blocks. And the woman comes over with me and goes, if your daughter doesn't apologize, I'm gonna bop you on the head with a Lego block. Wow.
Adam Carolla
From the mouth of blacks.
Adam Hunter
This is last week. Woman apologized like, that was.
Jason Mayhem Miller
That was it.
Adam Hunter
That was it.
Adam Carolla
All right. Do we have that catalytic converter story?
Jason Mayhem Miller
Yeah, we do. Yeah, I want to get that.
Adam Carolla
All right. From the mouth of blacks. Let's see. Yesterday news. Dawson, it's on Fox.
Dawson
I'm going through Fox News. I'm going through all of their articles.
Adam Carolla
And not an art, but not an article. Right.
Dawson
I'm going through all of their stories that they have videos on.
Adam Carolla
Okay, the video. Guess. Yeah, well, I'm sorry, but say articles.
Dawson
I think it's an article I'm not seeing. I'm not seeing it yet.
Adam Carolla
Not that story. The 60th year. Huh? Of the Edmund Pettis thing.
Dawson
I. I know. And as I search for those terms. Bloody Sunday, Edmund Pettis.
Adam Carolla
Yeah.
Dawson
The stories that are the first ones that are coming up are from 2015. They don't have any stories on the search from 2020.
Adam Carolla
We'll do a 60th anniversary.
Adam Hunter
I feel like I'm at a strip club right now. And he's gonna say, now dancing main.
Adam Carolla
Stage the 60th anniversary. That'll narrow it down because that can't be 10 years ago. All right, sorry.
Jason Mayhem Miller
In the meantime, two murder suspects who allegedly killed a Good Samaritan in Los Angeles county while he was attempting to stop them from stealing his neighbor's catalytic converter were in the country illegally and have lengthy criminal records.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, so we're a sanctuary city. Yeah, so we got a bunch of people that aren't supposed to be here, here, and we won't deport them and also we won't lock them up. These guys have been arrested like 13, 14, 15 times.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Robin Alice, a Guatemalan national, has been arrested at least 15 times in the last few years in the county, predominantly on gun charges, grand theft, burglary, drug charges.
Adam Carolla
In the name of equity. You want. Okay, first off, I thought you guys hated guns. Don't you hate guns? Well, then what about guys with guns who get arrested? Don't you want them incarcerated? Could you imagine if you were the wife or the kids of this guy who, when you walk outside because you hear a guy fire up a sawzall 3:30 in the morning and wants to know what's going on, just gets shot dead. And the people that shot him dead have been arrested 15 times and aren't supposed to be in this fucking country in the first place. But because it's a sanctuary city, we'll never do anything with them except for pushing back on the streets. And by the way, then you people start getting this Tom Homan going to round up school age kids and Selena Gomez. Selena Gomez. Any tears for the guy who got shot by these two? You.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Yeah, I think the, the word sanctuary, you know, it invokes the fact that there are a lot of, like, people who, yeah, they illegally cross but now live like a good life and you know, you want to give sanctuary to. But then these guys have been busted, you know, multiple grand theft arrests, mostly for stealing catalytic converters. He's already done this. Past charges for DUIs, conspiracy felon possession of gun, possession of burglary tools, possession of meth, possession of stolen property, and felony hit and run during a police.
Adam Carolla
These guys are so bad.
Jason Mayhem Miller
This guy's a bad guy. And we knew he's a bad guy. He's doing bad stuff. Never got his stuff together and never got deported. So now he killed. Allegedly, these guys, these two guys killed Good Samaritan. It's a damn shame.
Adam Carolla
All right, there is a vid. I know we have. I know we have Nithya Raman, who's the city Councilman. Because we've looked at this dingbats video a few times. She's a councilwoman. She went to Harvard, everybody. She went to Harvard. Yeah, she went to Harvard. And she has a big swath maybe where you live. I read that her place was from like Silver Lake to Reseda. And this person has thoughts about catalytic converters, by the way. These are the second guy killed. There was that actor who was bartending in downtown and he came out and someone was stealing catalytic converters and he got shot dead. So at a certain point, people are dying because of this catalytic converter problem that we're having. Yeah. Johnny Wachter, who was an actor who walked out after his bartender gave two in the morning and he got shot dead. So people are dying now. Cause people are stealing catalytic converters. But let's see all the time.
Adam Hunter
Cause my rings just like, you know that ring app, all the people too, talk about how they got their catalyst immersion.
Adam Carolla
All right. But Nithya Ram's got a solution to it. Not take illegals and lock them up or doing this repeatedly. That wouldn't be the way to do it. She's got another angle on it. Here it is in this case. I think one of the things that really infuriates me is that we have a company, a table. You know, the Pri, whatever Toyota, who makes the Prius that essentially has a device on their cars which is super easy to remove.
Adam Hunter
Oh, God.
Adam Carolla
It's basically the value of a MacBook. Right. That is put in a place that is incredibly easy to access in your car. And then the thefts related to this issue have essentially all of the costs at that are given to us to bear instead of them having to manufacture a car that actually is not so easy to be stolen.
Adam Hunter
That is the dumbest argument.
Jason Mayhem Miller
She wants sexy Priuses were asking for it wearing those tight leggings.
Adam Hunter
They act like as if they didn't have meth gun. Other charges before that. Like as if they even made a solution to that. They wouldn't go on to the next crime that they can commit, by the way.
Adam Carolla
So easy to be stolen. It's welded into the middle.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Well, you never jacked up the Prius and got up under there with the skil saw.
Adam Carolla
It's not a skill saw, but I know what you're saying. Other skill. Probably makes a bayonet saw what you're thinking about. Yeah. You just need a floor jack and acetylene cutting rig and two guys and it pops right out.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
Like anytime you have to sawzall Something out, it's not so easily to be stolen.
Adam Hunter
But the problem is Toyota, not the person doing it. It's Toyota's the problem. If it wasn't for Toyota, this guy would be alive. It's like, come on.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Can you believe a gymnastics?
Adam Carolla
This fucking dope went to Harvard. I know, but by the way, what are they teaching in Harvard? Number one. And then number two, her plan is to blame Toyota for a component that is welded into the center bottom of the car. That's her plan.
Adam Hunter
I mean, I feel like that's an argument that a lawyer makes when he knows there's like, 19 ways that the person committed murder and you're just trying to throw.
Jason Mayhem Miller
So easy to steal that. How can you expect them not to steal that?
Adam Carolla
Well, look, if this bitch was wearing her backpack and walking down the street, it's real easy to knock her over and take her backpack. You don't need a Sawzall, you don't need a floor Jack. So would that be okay? And then is it your fault for wearing your backpack over your shoulder while walking? Like, stealing Nithya Raman's backpack would be super easy. Just come up behind her, smack her in the back of the head with that baton that chick used in the relay, and then just pull her. Just take her backpack?
Jason Mayhem Miller
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
Why?
Jason Mayhem Miller
Right across.
Adam Carolla
That would be her fault for wearing the backpack outside. Super easy to take. And by the way, she said the value of a MacBook Pro that could be in the backpack. So what are you flaunting it for, bitch? It's your fault.
Adam Hunter
I mean, I like to think that people like the guys that are for, you know, transgenders in women's sports are people that just never played a contact sport. So they just know. So then I go, okay, this person just never did that. That's why they're thinking that. But this person has lived, you know? I mean, so either she has been prep school her whole life, Harvard, and then now lives in this gated community because. Or how else do you find.
Jason Mayhem Miller
No idea. I don't know how you get to the mental gymnastic it takes to go, hey, it's the Prius's fault for getting stolen.
Adam Carolla
Okay, well, here's what I'm saying. I want to hear her one more time. Poor Dawson can't find that clip. Damn, I'll find it right after the show. But I want to hear her one more time. But. Okay, now we got two dead people. Yeah, because people are stealing these things at least. So maybe we. And, okay, have it your way. It's Toyota's fault. I don't think Toyota's budging on this one. I think they're just making their cars and sending them here. If they're sending them to Sodom and Gomorrah, they're not responsible for that.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Yeah, Kia, they had a similar thing because it's super easy just to jimmy it with to, you know, go online.
Adam Carolla
And steal the car.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Exactly.
Adam Carolla
You're still dealing with a problem of thieves. Exactly.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Yeah, yeah.
Adam Carolla
All right, here is super easy. One more time in this case. I think one of the things that really infuriates me is that we have a company, you know, the Prius, she's a socialist by the way. So she blames Toyota Prius that essentially has a device on their car which.
Adam Hunter
Is super easy to remove.
Adam Carolla
It's basically the value of a MacBook that is put in a place incredibly easy to access in your car. All the related to this issue have essentially all of the costs of that are given to us to bear instead of them having to manufacture a car that actually is not so easy to be stolen.
Adam Hunter
I mean the guy next to her is just dead inside.
Adam Carolla
I've said many times, I started with Kamala Harris, but they need to have like their pages or aids, have a squirt gun. And so if I start rambling on something retarded just fucking hit me. Like when the cat jumps on the sofa. Just. You know what I mean? Just. You know what? Just get me moving onto something that makes sense. Cause I sound like an insane rambling retarded person at this point.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Super Soaker.
Adam Hunter
Well, but usually you see these people make these arguments on the Internet and you've never seen them in real life, right? It's just like they have an avatar or something.
Adam Carolla
She got voted in, people, they voted her in, they voted this destructive socialist. And by the way, do you want to know why LA is a piece of shit, these her and her friends?
Adam Hunter
Well, it's because the ballots, you get the ballots and there's like 30 people and then they give you three things they're for. And so you don't really know who you're voting for.
Adam Carolla
Well, here's what I yell every time when I talk about this dumb shit over here. She's not in charge of catalytic converter response. She's making all the, she's calling all the shit shots. She was calling Covid shots five years ago, right? Her and her dumb bitch friends are calling Covid shots. So we're fucked on every policy cuz she's taking this insane 10 cent socialist head of hers and directing it toward. But what do you think? Where do you think she comes down on the treehouse? She wants the treehouse down. You see what I'm saying? She's not taking her worm riddled, retarded brain and only doing catalytic converter math. She's taken this horrible sense of logic.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Everywhere and put Captain Dynamite out of a job.
Adam Carolla
Oh, man.
Adam Hunter
But then you see people that are like gays for Palestine and you're like, okay, that's essentially. This is what they voted for.
Adam Carolla
That's what they voted for. All right, I'll wrap up my two clips tomorrow. We'll find these things. I'll find them as soon as we get off the air. Not sure why. I don't know how the Internet works, but look, we found Captain Dynamite, so.
Dawson
We'Ll take that win.
Jason Mayhem Miller
It's a pyre victory. Really?
Adam Carolla
Yeah, but I feel I'm. I'm taking partial credit for putting the word daredevil.
Dawson
Hey, a win's a win in there.
Adam Carolla
All right, listen. Yeah, that's right. The other guy didn't make weight. That's all right. You still keep your strap, Dawson. All right, Adam, let me give you a plug. Stand up. We're calling it a special, but it's an album.

Podcast Summary: The Adam Carolla Show – "Gavin Newsom trips over himself in Podcast Debut + Comedian Adam Hunter"
Release Date: March 11, 2025
Guest: Comedian Adam Hunter
Co-host: Jason "Mayhem" Mayhem Miller
Adam Carolla kickstarts the episode by discussing his recent foray into vlogging, documenting the aftermath of the Malibu fires. Initially hesitant about vlogging, Adam found unexpected positive feedback from his audience.
Adam highlights the challenges faced during the Malibu fires, including power outages and displacement from his studio. Instead of canceling episodes, he adapted by setting up a makeshift studio in his hotel room, which surprisingly resonated with listeners.
Adam delves into the dynamics of the construction industry in Los Angeles, emphasizing the efficiency and high wages of private contractors compared to government-run projects.
He critiques prevailing wage laws, arguing that they reduce incentives for efficiency and lead to prolonged project timelines. Adam advocates for vocational training as a solution to empower young men in the inner city, particularly targeting Hispanic workers who dominate the labor force in construction.
Comedian Adam Hunter joins the show to discuss his new stand-up album, "Stand Upbound," available on major platforms like Spotify and Apple Music. He shares experiences from his tour, including performances across Australia, China, Japan, and more.
The conversation shifts to the evolution of comedy clubs, with Adam highlighting how venues like "Off the Hook" maintain quality by consistently booking skilled comedians, contrasting with other clubs that prioritize big names or social media stars.
Adam Hunter recounts his experiences coaching a middle school wrestling team, where Mayhem once gave a motivational speech that resonated deeply with the young athletes.
The hosts engage in a humorous yet critical exploration of outdated and dangerous sports like "Slide for Life" and the fictional "Human Stick of Dynamite." They reference old clips and fictional scenarios to illustrate the absurdity of certain entertainment forms.
Their antics include attempting to locate and discuss clips of these events, leading to playful banter about the feasibility and nostalgia of such sports.
In a surprising turn, California Governor Gavin Newsom, during his debut podcast episode with conservative activist Charlie Kirk, admits that allowing biological males to compete in women's sports is "deeply unfair." However, Adam critiques Newsom for his vague stance, asserting that he fails to directly address the issue.
A troubling incident at the Virginia High School League Class 3 State Indoor Championships involved a relay race where junior Kalyn Tucker was struck in the head by an opponent's baton, leading to head injuries. Adam and Jason discuss the implications of such violence in high school sports.
The hosts lament the demolition of Rick Polizzi's whimsical Simpsons-inspired treehouse in Sherman Oaks, highlighting the city's stringent regulations and the community backlash led by a "Karen" figure who opposed the structure.
Addressing the surge in catalytic converter thefts, Adam and Jason discuss recent murders linked to these crimes. They criticize sanctuary city policies for not effectively addressing repeat offenders who engage in such illegal activities.
The episode concludes with promotions for Adam Hunter's upcoming international tour and Adam Carolla's own live shows. They also reiterate the importance of finding elusive clips discussed earlier in the episode.
Adam Carolla [05:05]:
"I was like, why do you think I want to watch you walk to a Walmart for 20 minutes or make a breakfast sandwich, like."
Adam Carolla [18:38]:
"These guys are getting 60 bucks an hour. He said, yeah, the guy driving the Backhoe is getting 92 bucks an hour. That ain't too shabby."
Adam Carolla [24:05]:
"How come I've never heard one? Maxine Waters? Some bitch always there crying, racism, rattling a can, asking for money, calling Trump Hitler."
Adam Hunter [44:33]:
"I'm so happy, by the way, to see Mayhem here, because we've been friends for years."
Adam Carolla [41:10]:
"They came down so hard on comics. Like the word police, Covid stuff, political correctness. Sadly, other retarded comics tried to police what other comics were saying."
Adam Hunter [48:00]:
"The kids were shaking your hands. I'm never gonna wash my hands again."
Adam Carolla [97:22]:
"He says, it's unfair. But what exactly are you talking about?"
Adam Carolla [109:39]:
"She saw her hair smash... That's the Mike Tyson thing. Like, she was fouling her during the thing, and she just reacted."
Jason Mayhem Miller [125:15]:
"They won't deport them and also we won't lock them up. These guys have been arrested like 13, 14, 15 times."
In this episode of The Adam Carolla Show, Adam and his co-host delve into a variety of topics ranging from personal vlogging experiences amid natural disasters to in-depth discussions on labor laws, vocational training, and the state of comedy clubs. The guest, Adam Hunter, provides insights into the stand-up comedy scene and shares humorous anecdotes from his career. The show also tackles pressing news issues, including debates on transgender athletes, violent incidents in sports, and the repercussions of policy decisions in Los Angeles. Throughout the episode, Adam's unfiltered commentary provides a critical and often humorous take on societal issues, aligning with his trademark candid style.
