[Producer Dawson]

From Corolla 1 Studios in Glendale, California, this is the Adam Corolla Show. Adam's guest today, comedian Jackie Fabulous.

[Adam Carolla]

Plus the news with Alicia Crouse.

[Producer Dawson]

And now Adam Carolla.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, get it on. Got to get it on. No choice but to get it on Mandate. Get it on. And welcome back, Jackie fabulous variety. 10 comics to watch, 2024 probably probably cracked the top five by now. She's got a stand up special. It's on Hulu. I watched it last night. It's very funny. Yeah, it's called you can leave and I think he did it in New York.

[Jackie Fabulous]

Yeah. Triad Theater, July 12, 2025.

[Adam Carolla]

That's when you filmed it? Yeah, it's nice. It's a good 40 minutes.

[Jackie Fabulous]

I thought I knew it wasn't an hour because I was having a breakdown during. But back to you, I'll get into that later.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, well, listen, first off, there used to be tons of rules and now there are no more rules. No, you can do whatever you want in show business or out of show business. All the rules that used to exist about broadcasting and lengths and times and everything, it's all gone. It's just whoever's funny, whatever length, who cares. But sometimes I look at a stand up special, you know, I check it and it says, oh, it's an hour and seven minutes or something. I'm like, that's kind of a commitment. 40 minutes felt right.

[Jackie Fabulous]

It's Kind of long to me. It's hard for me to hold my attention for any superstar comic for an hour now.

[Adam Carolla]

Right. And 40 is your length, so it felt good. That was funny.

[Jackie Fabulous]

Thank you. I didn't want to do it when I did it.

[Adam Carolla]

Why not?

[Jackie Fabulous]

My reps were like, Cause you know how you have to have something to promote periodically throughout this career of being in a comic. And I had just moved out from my husband's house a few weeks before that. And I'm like, I'm gonna cry during. I don't even really have the discipline to memorize and tour. And they were like, we don't care. You're filming it on this date in this venue. You need something. We have. We can't sell you if you have. If you're. All your stuff is old, right? And I did it.

[Adam Carolla]

And I don't.

[Jackie Fabulous]

I don't remember the taping, what I said. And when I had to watch it for edits, I lied. I didn't watch anything because it was just so traumatic when I did it, you know? And I knew what I did. I remember the set. I know my jello. I'm like, I know what you guys saw. Fuck it.

[Adam Carolla]

Now, I think most times when people are feeling a certain way, like, not up to fill in the blank stand up set or hiking five miles or whatever that thing is that you're not up to, and someone goes, just get up. Let's go. We're going. Here we go. And you're always happy you did it, I think, yes. And we've lost that part of society where we've deemed everyone mean who goes, come on, you can do this. Let's go. You're okay. You're not hurt. You're fine. You know, and everyone's. I found myself arguing with most adults, explaining to them, you're fine. And they're going, I'm not fine. So they're making an argument for not being fine. And I'm going, you're fine. Go on. Come on, let's go.

[Jackie Fabulous]

Exactly. And you're needed. That attitude is needed. My managers got tired of me bugging them about my bookings and my calendar and, like, well, you know how you can get all that to change? You can stop complaining and go tape this set. And then I'm like, they're right, God damn it.

[Adam Carolla]

And now you watch it up on Hulu and you go, I'm so glad those guys kicked me in the ass.

[Jackie Fabulous]

I am. I'm not gonna watch it. I still haven't, but I'm not gonna watch it. I know what it is and I know you know how you just know the jokes. You know what you did when you did it. There's no need to watch it, is it?

[Adam Carolla]

Well sometimes there's the joke in your head that you know real well.

[Jackie Fabulous]

True.

[Adam Carolla]

And there's what leaves your mouth.

[Jackie Fabulous]

True.

[Adam Carolla]

And sometimes there's like a little difference between those two.

[Jackie Fabulous]

I will when I have to do the next one to see, make sure the material is not repeated and all that kind of stuff and to analyze. That might be when I'll watch it. But right now I'm just glad I have something that people can see. Cause I developed like, I developed a passionate fan base and they were also in my DMs, like where. Because, because of you guys.

[Adam Carolla]

Where's the material?

[Jackie Fabulous]

Where, where's the stuff? Where's the product? You're very witty online. It's cute. Where's the long form stuff that we could suck in and really enjoy? You.

[Adam Carolla]

How long have you been doing standup? And was it. Was there like a former life for you?

[Jackie Fabulous]

It's. It's about to hit 20 years.

[Adam Carolla]

About to hit 20.

[Jackie Fabulous]

Yeah. I started when I was 35, just for fun after work.

[Adam Carolla]

Uh huh. So you see they're the comedians like you know, the Eddie Murphys and the Chris Rocks were for some reason when they were 11, they were going to clubs or something. I'm so, I'm like, are you kidding? I was 25 and just had totally rudderless. I had no idea what I was gonna do for a living. But you guys knew in the sixth grade what you're gonna do. And then some adult would drive you into the city and drop you off

[Jackie Fabulous]

their parents, I know the Goobies Joe

[Adam Carolla]

cut on a Wednesday at midnight. You know, like what life is this?

[Jackie Fabulous]

Because Eddie, I guess he kn. He felt the spark that he had. I knew I've always had something.

[Adam Carolla]

No one drove us anywhere or did anything with us.

[Jackie Fabulous]

I didn't know this stand up comedy world existed. When I was elementary, high school, college. I didn't know that there were clubs. I didn't know any of this stuff existed.

[Adam Carolla]

What was your profession?

[Jackie Fabulous]

I moved to California in 2000 to go to law school because I took the LSAT. Horrible score. All the schools in New York were like no. And one school in California said sure, that's why I moved out here. And I had a boyfriend who wouldn't marry me. So I was like, I'm gonna. Why am I waiting for all of these things? I just left New York. And I was also tired of New York. I was always on the subway, corporate jobs, unhappy, moved to California. The weather, the attitude, the lifestyle. I just fell in love with being out here. Then I went to law school, graduated, divorced the husband. The first husband. And then.

[Adam Carolla]

Wait, is the first husband the one you left?

[Jackie Fabulous]

The first husband I left? Yeah. No, no. I recently left my husband. Eight months ago.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, that's number two. No, that we got. But I'm sorry, you had the one in New York who. Yes, you left behind. Who's not the husband. No, that was the boyfriend.

[Jackie Fabulous]

No, I. The husband in New York. I had a husband.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, you did have a husband.

[Jackie Fabulous]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, the one who didn't want to marry you.

[Jackie Fabulous]

The first one. The first husband. I have two ex husbands.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, wait, but how is he a husband if he didn't want to marry you?

[Jackie Fabulous]

Well, I'm just giving him the title now. In hindsight, that's who he was when we were together, prior to us married, getting married. I moved to California because we were a couple for a long time.

[Adam Carolla]

And he didn't. He wouldn't.

[Jackie Fabulous]

He wouldn't go the next step.

[Adam Carolla]

Then he moved out and got married.

[Jackie Fabulous]

I moved to California. He chased me, followed me, you know, the romantic.

[Adam Carolla]

And got married.

[Jackie Fabulous]

And we met. We married. We.

[Adam Carolla]

All right. I thought you left that guy because he didn't marry.

[Jackie Fabulous]

No, no, no. He's also dead. So he's not. He died also. He had a heart attack playing basketball at 41 years old.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, that is a black man's death.

[Jackie Fabulous]

No, no, no. That's not a black man. I know a lot of men. You guys are not growing.

[Adam Carolla]

This guy was Asian.

[Jackie Fabulous]

No, I do a joke.

[Adam Carolla]

Is he black?

[Jackie Fabulous]

I do a joke.

[Adam Carolla]

I just added the basketball part.

[Jackie Fabulous]

I do a joke.

[Adam Carolla]

Wait, but the guy was black.

[Jackie Fabulous]

It's about all men like you. Adam, focus.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, wait a minute. Is a guy black or not?

[Jackie Fabulous]

Yes, they're all black.

[Adam Carolla]

Then it is a black.

[Jackie Fabulous]

No, no, it's not the joke. I do a joke about men. There's no race attached. 30 years old, enough, need to stop playing full court, anything.

[Adam Carolla]

That's true.

[Jackie Fabulous]

Because you guys are dropping dead. Because you won't let go of how you were great in school. Well, you all have arthritis now. No cartilage or any joint.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, you're right.

[Jackie Fabulous]

So that joke is not black anymore.

[Adam Carolla]

Yes. Yeah. Pickleball. They invented pickleball for this.

[Jackie Fabulous]

But in my joke, I go. I go basketball, football, baseball and pickleball. All the balls.

[Adam Carolla]

That's a white guy. Death, though. Pickleball.

[Jackie Fabulous]

And any ball, any guy, especially tall ones like you, with an ego who were really great.

[Adam Carolla]

One time at one point, oh, I had a prime. Yeah, I did have a prime.

[Jackie Fabulous]

You guys don't let it go. Some of you. You don't let it go.

[Adam Carolla]

No, I let it go. Well, I boxed for a long time, maybe longer than I could have. And then my hands got kind of fucked up and I did have a prime. But what happened with me is I got into show business and so I wasn't sitting around thinking of my glory days in high school because I was doing cool shit.

[Jackie Fabulous]

He found the new passion.

[Adam Carolla]

Currently, he found a new passion. People were coming up, stop me at airports and I'm signing autographs, which is what you would do if you were a pro athlete.

[Jackie Fabulous]

So the average finance bro, though, they're holding on.

[Adam Carolla]

I think the problem is when the guy was all city in high school and now he's driving a forklift and he's 40, that's an issue now. He's gotta live back then. If you're traveling the world making good money and having a good time and up on the marquee, then you do a little less of the glory.

[Jackie Fabulous]

You're busy, you have something to fill the void.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, well, I think there is a thing where you probably just go to happier times when you're in bad times. So I guess if you're in prison, if you're in prison, you probably fantasize about going out and hiking in nature, something, just being all day.

[Jackie Fabulous]

All that matters is being out of here.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, out. But you don't fantasize about. I mean, you don't fantasize you're having a fantasy or dream. It's probably not a super shitty one bedroom apartment with no view. You're picturing walking along the beach or something and throwing a tennis ball to a dog, like free oop. And riding a motorcycle down PCH or something like that. So I think you go to those places. And when I was miserable on a construction site when I was 23, I would just fantasize about being back on the football field and being a player, because that was a better place. But then once show business came around, I didn't have to go back.

[Jackie Fabulous]

And men and women had the luxury of having a heavy sports life growing up, but it's more perpetuated and encouraged in men. So you guys grew up with that thing. You grow up all through all the schooling and then in your jobs and after work. And I would attract, I attract Ex athletes.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, you do?

[Jackie Fabulous]

Yeah, Living in New York, that's what I would be around. But these guys, but those are the ones who have the hardest time letting go and then getting injured. And then when they're in their 50s, they are, they're in horrible shape, they can't run, they need a cane, you know, all kinds of stuff.

[Adam Carolla]

He died at 41 playing full court

[Jackie Fabulous]

basketball because he would play back. He would play full court games on a Sunday, LA Fitness. I remember he come visit me in California.

[Adam Carolla]

And you were married then?

[Jackie Fabulous]

We were a couple and he would.

[Adam Carolla]

Wait, wait, were you married?

[Jackie Fabulous]

Yes.

[Adam Carolla]

Okay, well you said we were a couple. I didn't know if that meant you're

[Jackie Fabulous]

just together, married, whatever. But before or after the marriage, it's still the same guy. And he would play like seven, eight full court games on a Sunday afternoon at LA Fitness with a bunch of men, all races, and you all play all day long. And I'm not gonna lie, I kind of live vicariously. Like I kind of envious. You guys have that passion and you can have something to do all day with a bunch of dudes. Girls don't always have that, you know, but as you get older, it becomes a problem.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, I'm trying to think. On the other hand, sounded fit from all that activity. Yeah, but he had a heart problem.

[Jackie Fabulous]

They must have.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh yeah. I mean he had a problem that

[Jackie Fabulous]

was the 41 year old.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, yeah, he needed.

[Jackie Fabulous]

His family was unhealthy, they were always dying. I was always getting announcements from him of people passing away.

[Adam Carolla]

So were you devastated when he died?

[Jackie Fabulous]

No, we weren't together. So when he died.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, you weren't.

[Jackie Fabulous]

It was very sad. I went to all the funerals and I mean the wakes.

[Adam Carolla]

Constantly trying to figure out your status. But you weren't divorced.

[Jackie Fabulous]

No, we were, we were. The first guy was in my 20s, the whole 10 years, 20 to 30. I lived in New York. I moved to Cali when I was 30. So all this is my experience with him and a little bit overlap because he followed me to California, we eloped, didn't work.

[Adam Carolla]

Right, but you got married and then he broke up and then he died.

[Jackie Fabulous]

Yes.

[Adam Carolla]

Okay.

[Jackie Fabulous]

Yes.

[Adam Carolla]

All right, so it wasn't. It's devastating.

[Jackie Fabulous]

No, no, no. It wasn't like I lost my love. It was his time. I mean, we weren't together when it happened.

[Adam Carolla]

Uh huh. I guess. I mean, look, in the pantheon of people dying, there's people. I would be very sad about dying.

[Jackie Fabulous]

I was very sad. Not like I lost my love but, like, I knew how much he loved living and playing sports. He. He had. He was an attorney. He just passed the bar, went to Brooklyn Law School.

[Adam Carolla]

Just passed the bar.

[Jackie Fabulous]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

Okay. So you were.

[Jackie Fabulous]

I was sad.

[Adam Carolla]

You were sad.

[Jackie Fabulous]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

Right. And then you remarried recently.

[Jackie Fabulous]

Yeah, about. About three years ago.

[Adam Carolla]

But that only lasted two and a half years.

[Jackie Fabulous]

Yes. Very good.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, I'm trying this nonsense. It's hard to follow, but I'm trying to keep with you.

[Jackie Fabulous]

No, it's not. And we. I left. I moved out and separated from him before it hit the three year marriage mark. And now I.

[Adam Carolla]

You moved out?

[Jackie Fabulous]

I moved out, yes.

[Adam Carolla]

Your decision.

[Jackie Fabulous]

Yeah. That's why the special is called. You can leave. Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

See why, if you don't mind.

[Producer Dawson]

Oh.

[Adam Carolla]

Please seem very open on stage.

[Jackie Fabulous]

Yes.

[Adam Carolla]

It's all I know. You may not remember a lot of it, but I just watch it.

[Jackie Fabulous]

Okay.

[Adam Carolla]

A lot of couples talk.

[Jackie Fabulous]

Yes.

[Adam Carolla]

Or a fair bit.

[Jackie Fabulous]

Yes.

[Adam Carolla]

So you seem like an open book. So was he agreeable to you leaving?

[Jackie Fabulous]

He didn't. Yes. Physically, I could tell it had hurt him, but verbally, he has a horrible time communicating, and that's part of the reason why we grew apart. And I'm like, he's not the one. Because I'm a communicator.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah.

[Jackie Fabulous]

And it's hard for me to be with a man who doesn't know how to open up or talk.

[Adam Carolla]

Mm.

[Jackie Fabulous]

And I have a pattern of attracting the alpha male athlete dude who really doesn't show emotion. So I'm trying to recognize my patterns and be like, what do I keep getting to like me? I need. I need a less macho dude.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, are you willing to go down a couple of notches in the looks department?

[Jackie Fabulous]

Yeah. When a guy is smart and funny, I'm equally as in.

[Adam Carolla]

Okay. Yeah. Well, then that's your new path.

[Jackie Fabulous]

Smart and funny. I mean, can he be a little cute to you? Okay.

[Adam Carolla]

But not to me.

[Jackie Fabulous]

I've had that. I've had where he makes. He's hot to me, and everyone else is like, are you sure?

[Adam Carolla]

Really?

[Jackie Fabulous]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

They say that, huh?

[Alicia Krause]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

So. And you can. I don't know, do you need smart and funny, or could we just have smart?

[Jackie Fabulous]

I have enjoyed the time that I have spent hanging out with male comics, whether intimately or just for fun. I feel like I'm having the best time when I'm with a male comic. I would like to date one.

[Adam Carolla]

A male comic?

[Jackie Fabulous]

Yes. I have fooled around with a few of them, but never got serious with anybody. And I realize now in this part of my life and really like, what do I actually want? I like hanging out with guys who are funny and they get me, you know what I mean?

[Adam Carolla]

How big? Spielberg stick. Who?

[Jackie Fabulous]

What?

[Adam Carolla]

I said you.

[Jackie Fabulous]

Who'd you say?

[Adam Carolla]

Bill Burr.

[Jackie Fabulous]

What about Bill Burr?

[Adam Carolla]

I'm just assuming he's a human.

[Jackie Fabulous]

Happily married night.

[Adam Carolla]

Before that.

[Jackie Fabulous]

What about that? Before that?

[Adam Carolla]

You said you've, you know, bounced around with a couple comedians before.

[Jackie Fabulous]

Have I ever fooled around with Bill Burr?

[Adam Carolla]

Well, I just assumed,

[Jackie Fabulous]

first of all, we're not gonna go there. He is a married man. I think it's disrespectful to be like, where did you fuck him years ago? I met him recently. I met him during the pandemic. Officially, ha. Met him in the world of stand up comedy.

[Adam Carolla]

But, you know, stand up comedians are. They're head cases. I think you're asking for trouble.

[Jackie Fabulous]

They're all nuts. Who cares? I'm gonna die soon. So are you. I'm not gonna spend all this time worrying about how they're all nuts. We're all crazy. So.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, wait a minute, hold on. You just said you had a guy. You said no more this kind of guy.

[Jackie Fabulous]

No more extra macho, not being able to communicate any emotions. That kind of guy.

[Adam Carolla]

Okay, no more of that kind of guy. Yeah, okay, but comedians?

[Jackie Fabulous]

Yeah, why not?

[Adam Carolla]

I don't know. I hear a lot of complaints about male comedians.

[Jackie Fabulous]

I've heard nothing. I've heard numerous amount of the shittiest things you could possibly hear about male comics. I don't care. I will be okay.

[Adam Carolla]

All right, so we're going with the guy with the sense of humor.

[Jackie Fabulous]

I would love that in any state because I, you know, now around the world, you don't have to be in New York or California. He'd be a comic who's good at what he does overseas. I've met a few over though over there when I performed.

[Adam Carolla]

Are you on any of the sites? The dating sites?

[Jackie Fabulous]

No, I don't think I'm ready to pursue or look, but I'm just saying in the universe for the future, I'm open to a funny guy. But no dating sites. Now. I don't really have the desire to listen and go through the mundane small talk of meeting someone new.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, what. But when you're ready, maybe a dating site.

[Jackie Fabulous]

Yeah, yeah, I clicked on. I'm not a member, but Facebook has dating.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, they do.

[Jackie Fabulous]

And I keep getting the African. So I did click on it. I didn't write anything in the profile. That's my picture and where I live and there's some cuties on there. So they're out there.

[Adam Carolla]

I'm trying to think how I've never

[Jackie Fabulous]

created a profile on any dating site ever. No, I don't know your story either. Are you married now?

[Adam Carolla]

I'm divorced.

[Jackie Fabulous]

Okay, so that's. No. You're not married? Not seeing anyone? Girlfriend.

[Adam Carolla]

Girlfriend. But yes, I did not meet on a dating trip.

[Jackie Fabulous]

You met her in life.

[Adam Carolla]

I don't know. Trying to think about how I would create a description of you. Yeah, I've never.

[Jackie Fabulous]

Throw your bio on there. You don't gotta get fancy or think about it too hard.

[Adam Carolla]

Okay. Just throw the bio on.

[Alicia Krause]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

Speaking of that, you may have come across this before, but let's see. I don't see it on this thing, but maybe we do. Oh, yeah, I do. I see it. I am going to. Gonna be doing a couple of shows in Dallas, Texas, at Hyenas Comedy Club. And I went to their website to see what it looked like and I saw my name on there. And people frequently misspell my name, which is a weird thing because it's on the computer. You can just. But I wouldn't assume to know how to spell anyone's name. I would look it up.

[Jackie Fabulous]

Yes.

[Adam Carolla]

And if the guy's name was Michael Johnson, I would still go look it up.

[Jackie Fabulous]

Because Michael could be spelled a different way.

[Adam Carolla]

Could be a different way. And also maybe he does his own Johnson thing. I don't know. I would just look. It's super findable with your phone. Now, my name is always frequently misspelled, but do you have.

[Jackie Fabulous]

It's that first a. It fucks everybody up.

[Adam Carolla]

Now, unfortunately, we're doing it super tight, so it's not as. Yeah, but it's not as good as having the actual. The whole advertisement page on there. So we'll have to find that, which. I don't know why he.

[Jackie Fabulous]

Your last name has stumped me too.

[Adam Carolla]

But, Dawson, I'm looking at you because. Remember these 7,000 conversations I've had with Mike August where I go. Just go to the website. Just go to the website and check it. Just go. Just go on Monday morning, every Monday, just go to the website and check it. Just check it. Just make sure the times are right. Just make sure everything's right on the website. It's not doable. It's like. It's a weird thing. And I'll show you. Yeah, this is it.

[Jackie Fabulous]

Beautiful picture.

[Adam Carolla]

Thank you. But if you go look at it, it says, adam Carolla, special Event. Adam Carolla. C, A, R, O, L, L, A. And then directly under it, I'd say about a quarter inch under it. I don't know why it says my name again. I feel like it doesn't need to say my name again because it's bold. It says Adam and then it says Corolla. C, O, R, O, L, A. You missed two letters and you're a quarter inch apart. And I'm guessing the same person typed it right. What could possibly. Is this a cut and paste? How do you spell it differently? A quarter inch apart and you miss two letters.

[Jackie Fabulous]

Your last name is a problem.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, everyone's last name is a problem.

[Jackie Fabulous]

We're talking about you right now, and I've had your name and not understood the co versus ca, Rola. That's a problem.

[Adam Carolla]

Okay, but let's. Okay, what. What should we do with Nate Bargazzi in terms of.

[Jackie Fabulous]

In life?

[Adam Carolla]

What do we do with his name?

[Jackie Fabulous]

Oh, out. Look it up.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, oh, wait a minute.

[Jackie Fabulous]

Well, that one, you got to. Because that's not natural. Flowing off anybody's tongue. Corolla flows Ka or co. See?

[Adam Carolla]

But no one says co. Roller.

[Jackie Fabulous]

Nobody says it. But you look, when you think Corolla, you don't think ca. You think Toyota. Co.

[Adam Carolla]

Right. But you don't know. I mean, I'm saying you would look it up, you would check it. But.

[Jackie Fabulous]

But most people are too arrogant. They probably assume Corolla. You know how to spell Corolla?

[Adam Carolla]

We always say that. People assume that.

[Jackie Fabulous]

I think so. It's a popular car.

[Adam Carolla]

No, I get it. It's. It is a popular car. And I. I get it.

[Jackie Fabulous]

And I had one.

[Adam Carolla]

You did?

[Jackie Fabulous]

Yes. More reason to be like, I got it and spell it wrong.

[Adam Carolla]

And I'm saying everyone's name is spelled a little too different. But they did get it. Right. But then they clearly didn't. Right. But also co. I get. But they dropped an L. So how do you explain that?

[Jackie Fabulous]

Well, number one, they don't care. Adam.

[Adam Carolla]

All right, well, now they don't care.

[Jackie Fabulous]

And number two, I can see. I can understand the confusion.

[Adam Carolla]

You do?

[Jackie Fabulous]

Yes. I felt it myself about you and your last name. And just in just my mind, in writing or typing, making a flyer, I'm going to be here. How do you. How do you spell his last name? I've had. I might have looked. I don't. Sometimes I just. If I don't get a little thing. Squiggly, saying it's wrong, I'm like, it's fine.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, then the question is, though, why Is it spelled differently by two letters directly underneath it? Is that the same person?

[Jackie Fabulous]

There's no way to know.

[Adam Carolla]

And then why. Why is it just written again in lighter font directly under. Seems wildly.

[Jackie Fabulous]

You understand that these people are busy like we are one weekend out of 52.

[Adam Carolla]

No, they're busy, but it's a weird policy to just randomly put the name underneath.

[Jackie Fabulous]

It's not professional. And I imagine someone of your stature, they should even pay more attention.

[Adam Carolla]

I don't care.

[Jackie Fabulous]

No, you got to care. Clearly you care.

[Adam Carolla]

No. Well, there's two things. I'm more amused at the fuck up part than I care. I'm also slightly amused that I do have a guy who does all the bookings that I say literally at the beginning of the year. I just said, I don't want another year of this. Just check the fucking website. Just check the website. Just. Well, no, what it is, is our website says the show starts at 7:30. Their website says the show starts at 7. I just said I don't want another year of this. Just go to their website and check. Ask everything. Every Monday. Just do it.

[Jackie Fabulous]

Has he been doing it?

[Adam Carolla]

Evidently not. This I don't really care about. It's more the different times. You must experience this in your life all the time.

[Jackie Fabulous]

All the time.

[Adam Carolla]

So are people. I thought the computer was gonna kind of fix this, but I don't think

[Jackie Fabulous]

it has the computer on its own.

[Adam Carolla]

I just mean people would be more accurate or something. And I don't think they. I don't think they are.

[Jackie Fabulous]

And there is nothing malicious behind the mistake. There's just probably in haste.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, yeah. No, nothing malicious. But if it's a. If haste is what you want to make, why are you writing it again underneath the name? It's like that's not a time saver. That's totally unnecessary. But now what you got to do, what you got to do, Dawson, is go to another comedian who's gonna play hyenas and see if they write their name directly underneath their name.

[Jackie Fabulous]

This is the analysis of. This is hysterical.

[Adam Carolla]

That's how men get to the bottom of things.

[Jackie Fabulous]

That's how men.

[Adam Carolla]

And there's Kevin.

[Jackie Fabulous]

Certain things. Yes.

[Adam Carolla]

Sorry. There's Kevin Farley, but his name's not underneath his name.

[Jackie Fabulous]

No.

[Adam Carolla]

Huh. That's a weird thing. All right, so established. They don't do it. Except sometimes they do.

[Jackie Fabulous]

Well, they never booked me before, so how about. I don't even care.

[Adam Carolla]

Why don't they book you?

[Jackie Fabulous]

I don't know. There's a lot of clubs that I haven't been in yet.

[Adam Carolla]

What's your good clubs?

[Jackie Fabulous]

Good clubs that I haven't been in.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, wait a minute. There may be some issue now right after this break. After this, Ryan. Yeah, there you go. Oh, Ryan Sickler does have his name under there twice spelled correctly.

[Jackie Fabulous]

Yep, both times.

[Adam Carolla]

All right. All right. Sorry. Clubs. You. You like clubs? You do you like.

[Jackie Fabulous]

I've never been. Well, I have been. But the wise guys, where all the wise guys is located. I would love to do those.

[Adam Carolla]

Where are the clubs you do do those that you.

[Jackie Fabulous]

West Coast. I love the way. I love doing all of the. The punch lines and the cobs and anything in warm, warm climates. I love. I managed to put together like a run every summer that I'm primarily on the west coast because I. I really miss California. And as you know, New York is shitty right now, weather wise. And it keeps snowing and.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, I was just there.

[Jackie Fabulous]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

People are complaining that the snow melted. Now there's a bunch of shit on the ground.

[Jackie Fabulous]

Yeah. And the. All the garbage. New York. I mean, I'm a New Yorker proudly, but. God, it's hard to love it all the time.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. I don't know. What do you think about Mom Dhumi? I think how he's.

[Jackie Fabulous]

I don't know where he came from. He literally one day somebody was like, are you gonna vote? And I'm like, for who? Who or whom? Or vote for what? I didn't know there was a thing going on. And then they. He popped up on my feed and I'm like, I don't know who he is. He smiles a lot. He seems positive. I like positivity in my mare. It doesn't seem like he's out to just be a celebrity and have fun like the other one.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, he's charismatic.

[Jackie Fabulous]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

But I worry sometimes because like Gavin Newsom's charismatic, but he's a shit governor. So I'm like, I'm wondering, maybe he's too nice. Maybe there's too much charisma.

[Jackie Fabulous]

Why do I see everybody like praising or asking Gavin to run for president? Nobody likes him.

[Adam Carolla]

I think he wants to run for president, but I don't know that everyone else wants him. Although Democrats have a pretty thin bench. There's nobody out there really right now. So he is gonna do it, but I don't know that people want him to do it. But he's definitely gonna do it. But he's charismatic. And I think I want a bald guy with a big hook nose who's old and has a lisp who's just good at his job.

[Jackie Fabulous]

Who's this?

[Adam Carolla]

I don't know. Could be anyone.

[Jackie Fabulous]

Are you making up a human random?

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, I'm making up an ugly dude who can do it. Who can do the job.

[Jackie Fabulous]

That is hilarious.

[Adam Carolla]

Good looking people, they get by a little too much on the looks, you know?

[Jackie Fabulous]

Yeah, I agree. People do get. Get persuaded by a handsome or pretty face. Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

I think Mandami, I think his. He's kind of the Gavin Newsom appeal, which is. People go, oh, I like that guy. But I don't know if he's good at it. I don't.

[Jackie Fabulous]

Gavin has the Hollywood look about him.

[Adam Carolla]

I don't suspect. I don't think New York's gonna do well under him. But we'll. We'll see. Well, they're already out of money or something. He's already.

[Jackie Fabulous]

I saw something on that. He has to, he has to tap into or dip into some other funds.

[Adam Carolla]

He's got a raid a fund.

[Jackie Fabulous]

He's got a raid.

[Adam Carolla]

I don't know why I used the word raid terminology.

[Jackie Fabulous]

Raid a fund.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, I guess that's what they call. But he's, he's out of money.

[Jackie Fabulous]

He is.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, look, he just got. Well, well, here's the deal. Okay, here's the deal.

[Jackie Fabulous]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

When you run, you go free buses and free supermarkets and free healthcare. And then when you get elected, you gotta do a budget.

[Jackie Fabulous]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

Now you're in a situation, you gotta raise taxes or you gotta raid a fund because you just announced everything was free. But it's not free.

[Jackie Fabulous]

When I hear free buses, I just think while the people getting on the bus, to me, that would make the crime go up.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, free, free. Everything attracts the worst.

[Jackie Fabulous]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. No, buses should be like $250 just

[Jackie Fabulous]

because the way you might be next to a man on the bus with no pants on. But, but hey, but it didn't cost much, right? It needs to cost money.

[Adam Carolla]

No, there needs to be a little barrier to entry.

[Jackie Fabulous]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

With everything. If people, if people, if people went to your comedy shows or my comedy shows for free, and the whole audience was there for free halfway into my show, 40% of them would have just left because they'd just be like, all right, I've seen a half hour, it's good.

[Jackie Fabulous]

But they still do that though. A lot of clubs paper out the room. Years ago, when I was learning how this job worked, they paper the room.

[Adam Carolla]

I think I found maybe the only two or three movies I've ever walked out on were movies that Were free screenings and I got an hour in and I was like, I didn't pay for this. And I'm bored. Shit. So I'm just leaving. Where if I paid 14 bucks, I tend to sit there.

[Jackie Fabulous]

Yeah, yeah. I get mad if I do pay for a movie and I get sleepy because I'm like, damn it, girl, you can't take a nap. This movie was $20.

[Adam Carolla]

Mondami's $127 billion budget, by the way, relies on property tax increase and raiding the rain fund for the retiree health benefits and trust fund. So he's got to get to the. He's got to make it work. This is the problem with the free stuff. It's not free. You gotta figure it out.

[Jackie Fabulous]

It's not free. Everything comes with a cost. Yeah, gotta cost.

[Adam Carolla]

Agreed. All right, let's see what else? So you're. The Hulu special just came out, right?

[Jackie Fabulous]

February 4th. It just came out. Yeah. And it'll be released on all the other everything and I'm told about a year from now.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, is that like YouTube and that

[Jackie Fabulous]

kind of YouTube and Amazon and Google Play and. Yeah, and my. And my YouTube page and LOL. Because this deal came through Kevin Hart's. Kevin Hart's company. LOL Network. And the real heartbeat, because he signed something. He signed something. He had something where his distribution and is bigger, you know, just get bigger, be a part of more things. So they acquired my special through the production company who shot it. And it's gonna be everywhere.

[Adam Carolla]

Hulu gets the rights for you.

[Jackie Fabulous]

Yeah, yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

And then they revert back to you.

[Jackie Fabulous]

I think so. Yes.

[Adam Carolla]

And then you can push it out there on YouTube.

[Jackie Fabulous]

On my YouTube. And while it hopefully gets pushed out everywhere, my primary concern when I did this and I. I wanted the whole world to be able to see it because internationally I did like three tours. Little. Just me and the people. The fans across the globe are so passionate that way too in America. But overseas they're like, now where are you?

[Adam Carolla]

What's your love? What's your big countries?

[Jackie Fabulous]

Just London, a lot of London, Netherlands, Scotland. They all have little venues all around the little theaters. And there's so many cities in the UK I remember any of the Camden, I forget. But they have a lot of adorable, decent sized theaters around the UK that you can fill out if your fans like you. And I want to go back. I haven't been back in a while.

[Adam Carolla]

And where do they find. Do they find you originally on YouTube?

[Jackie Fabulous]

Who? Yeah, no, they found me. They found me because I had A couple of videos through Don't Tell go viral and that's how the world is that.

[Adam Carolla]

That's not on YouTube.

[Jackie Fabulous]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, it is on YouTube.

[Jackie Fabulous]

On YouTube.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, that's what I'm saying.

[Jackie Fabulous]

My social media, I think my social. The clips were broken up and put on my social media and that's what got you need my face and whatever out there a couple years ago.

[Adam Carolla]

It's interesting.

[Jackie Fabulous]

Yeah. Took a lot. Because the days of you're on a TV show, therefore you will sell out everything, you know, that's done now every time I. My second.

[Adam Carolla]

You mean doing like a set on a late night show or just being on a TV show?

[Jackie Fabulous]

Yeah, both. But I, I remember Stand up back in the day where if you did the Tonight show or any big show once, you'd have a castle. And I've been on Tonight show four times of late. Last time 2024. And it's not the same, you know. No, respectfully, I get respect for doing it, but it doesn't really turn into anything like it used to back in the day.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, stuff had some real currency back in the day.

[Jackie Fabulous]

Yeah, yeah. Cachet.

[Adam Carolla]

And if they, if Johnny Carson called you over to the sofa. Yeah, that was a big deal. And then things opened up the next day and like Ellen when she got

[Jackie Fabulous]

to the couch the first time, the couch was a huge deal.

[Adam Carolla]

I know, I know.

[Jackie Fabulous]

I sat on it before, but not on camera where I could speak.

[Adam Carolla]

He just invited me over for the

[Jackie Fabulous]

clothes out to say goodbye and stuff.

[Adam Carolla]

Was that Fallon?

[Jackie Fabulous]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, okay. Yeah. I don't even know. I don't even know really what the late night stand up comedy scene is even. I don't even really know what it is.

[Jackie Fabulous]

It's kind of going away now. Colbert comics will perform on and he's gonna be gone soon. I did Comics Unleashed last night. That's like taking place of Colbert.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, you did Byron Allen.

[Jackie Fabulous]

Yeah, I did that last night. And in the comments get a chance to be on there. Seth Meyers, they take stand up. I have not done Seth Meyers. I would love to. I tried to do James Corden when he was around but couldn't get the booking. So it's dwindling, it seems like sadly.

[Adam Carolla]

I mean, I've talked to Byron quite a bit and I think he's really trying to be the Moses of comedians. He wants to lead them. He wants to lead them. He wants to have a home for them and a promised land.

[Jackie Fabulous]

He's always putting out projects that seems like it stars us. He's very good at what he does. I got to really study him. Even though in the short taping last night, he's very, he's very good. He understands timing and just do it again quickly and the sense of the room and gathering up, wrangling everything together. He's, he's very good at what he does. I got to really watch him last night, sitting next to him.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, he's really a producer.

[Jackie Fabulous]

Yes.

[Adam Carolla]

And he's very skilled at it.

[Jackie Fabulous]

Yes. I can tell his mind is never turning off, even though, even when he's laughing and being friendly, he's, I can see him still thinking about what's going to happen next.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, let me plug the special. Okay, you can leave. It's available now on Hulu. Jackie Fabulous. It's 40 minutes, very digestible and very funny. I recommend it.

[Jackie Fabulous]

Very like oatmeal. Very digestible.

[Adam Carolla]

Very digestible. We'll take a break, we'll bring Alicia Kraus and we'll do the news right after that.

[Producer Dawson]

It's time to check Adam's voicemail.

[Adam Carolla]

Adam Allen. Hey, I think it's time for us to start calling AI atom intelligence instead of artificial intelligence.

[Producer Dawson]

You can leave us a message at 888-634-1744.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, sorry, I'm reading something. Alicia Krause is here. Yes.

[Alicia Krause]

Oh, sorry, I am here. I was trying to buy you some time, then I stepped on you a little bit there. Like atom intelligence. Do you think that, like Grok, if I upload a picture of an X ray, you can determine what's wrong with it? I mean, you kind of are an encyclopedia of information, but specifically, I think like comedy, pop culture, politics, media.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, listen, listen, There are two kinds of knowing things. There's memorizing names and numbers and events and that kind of thing. And then there's a kind of intuitive part and it's a kind of rhythmic part that nobody has. But you can be super accurate if you're follow the rhythms and the patterns of life and people and you'll end up knowing things. And I was explaining the other day several weeks ago, I was out on the road and I was in Colorado and we were doing a show, and our show, we're doing a rare Friday. One show Friday, like a seven o' clock show.

[Alicia Krause]

That's rare. That is rare.

[Adam Carolla]

Pretty rare. It's usually two shows, but we just had one show on Friday. And the promoter and the club owner was like, we want to start right on time and can you keep it to an hour or even a little bit under an hour? I said, okay. And then later I said, well, I guess they have a second a late show. And Mike said, they don't have a late show. And I said, oh, they got a late show. And he goes, how do you know? I go, they said, we're starting right at seven and you keep it under an hour. And he goes, no, they don't have a late show. Now, I don't know if they have a late show or not. And neither does Mike. But I do know the rhythms and the patterns.

[Alicia Krause]

Yes.

[Adam Carolla]

And if you don't have a late show, then they start late and they tell you do as much time as you want.

[Alicia Krause]

They want to give the people what they want, what they paid for, what they came to see.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, they want to Give people an hour on the low. It's not. They want to give people what they. I'm not trying to argue with you, but what I'm saying is people came to the people basically signed up for an hour of standup. But if there's no late show, go fucking hour and 20 minutes. Who cares?

[Alicia Krause]

And if you're getting laughs, like if it's deadpanned, probably take the opportunity to slip out the room.

[Adam Carolla]

Right? Well, you're still kind of missing what I'm saying. But what I'm saying is there's no late show. Go as long as you want. Who cared? They don't care. My answer.

[Alicia Krause]

I'm not getting what you're saying because I have no idea what this has to do with. With AI.

[Adam Carolla]

So, please, you go. And they'll start late because they want more people ordering more food and drinks. Okay? AI can recognize. It can read X rays and things like that, but it's not really going to know human rhythms and patterns and tendencies. I know human rhythms and patterns and tendencies. And that's why I tend to be correct a lot about observations. Mike doesn't know patterns or tendencies. He just knows. The club owner didn't say there was a late show.

[Alicia Krause]

Yes.

[Adam Carolla]

So he says, no late show.

[Alicia Krause]

He's going with what was on paper or what was.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, yeah. Or what he knows, which he should have learned a long time ago to stop doing that. But he just does what he does. I have the same information he has, but I have some patterns.

[Alicia Krause]

So you come to a different conclusion.

[Adam Carolla]

I come to a correct conclusion because there is no such thing as them going, we're starting right at seven and keep it to an hour. They never say it and they don't care. That's their pattern.

[Alicia Krause]

Is it always correct, though? Is your pattern, Dometer, Your Adam intelligence? Is it nine times out of ten correct.

[Adam Carolla]

People establish themselves as pattern people. Everybody, good and bad. There's certainly good patterns. If you go out to dinner with Jimmy Kimmel, he pays. That's the pattern. Now, if you go out to dinner with someone and you always pay because you have those kinds of relationships. I have people I go out to dinner with, I pay. That's it. And then you go out to dinner with Jimmy, he pays. If you go out to dinner with somebody and you always pay, but this one night, that person who never pays insists on paying. Pattern broken. And then at some point, when he hands the waiter's credit card and they walk away, they are going to say, I have a business proposition for you that I think you'd like to get in on. I just need a little upfront mind.

[Alicia Krause]

This is going to be an ask.

[Adam Carolla]

There's something attached to the pattern that's broken. Yeah, right.

[Alicia Krause]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

So I don't know if AI can read patterns. I read patterns when I drive. I see how everyone in front of me drives. I see what their car looks like. I see what condition the car's in, what stupid bumper stickers they have. They have stuffed animals in the rear window, whatever it is.

[Alicia Krause]

Asian woman, old man.

[Adam Carolla]

Everybody gets patternized. Everything gets pushed through the pattern computer, and then I drive accordingly. And I know who to pull up behind at the red light. Cause I know who's gonna go faster than the other person.

[Alicia Krause]

The mom with four kids in the car.

[Adam Carolla]

You know, once in a while, there's someone in a minivan who hauls ass. You know what I mean?

[Alicia Krause]

There was a really funny guy. I think it was on a recent Kill Tony thing. And his whole bit was about like, give it. Be easy on the people in a minivan. Cause they will. They will drive like an insane person because they have a minivan. So their life is already pretty crappy.

[Adam Carolla]

They got nothing to lose.

[Alicia Krause]

They got nothing to lose.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. So you can get a lot out of patterns, but you have to study the pattern. If you don't know the pattern, then you don't know. But all you have to do is anyone who does something out of their pattern, you should stop and ask what's going on.

[Alicia Krause]

So it's not necessarily a red flag, but it could be a yellow flag. Have you heard about this in relationships? I'm sure you're joking.

[Adam Carolla]

I have talked about this. Well, they do. Look, if a guy never, ever, ever gets you flowers and then shows up with flowers, maybe he's cheating. Because that's a pattern breaker again. Everybody kind of has a rhythm. I'll tell you something. Like, Dr. Drew is the promptest person I know, and he's always here before me. And if we got something to do at 10, and I pull up at 9:55 and I don't see his car, I'm like, he's dead. Something happened to Dr. Drew. I'm not like, he's running a couple minutes late. I've never thought that in my life. I've had it happen a million times where I pulled in at 10 to 10 or 5 to 10 and not seen Dr. Drew's car in the parking lot and went, where's Drew? What happened to Drew? And then I realized, oh, he's in New York, he's doing Skype. Okay. But pattern broken, then recognized. But you stop and you ask and listen.

[Alicia Krause]

But AI is going to get there. Especially when all of the people with all of the human, human emotional patterns are telling it what they're thinking through all of their searching and follow up questions.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, I mean eventually, I think eventually it'll replace maybe the human mind. But I'll tell you something. I don't know that many pattern followers. I've not seen it that often. I have a bit of a crystal ball or crystal brain, people say, but it's not. I can see the future. I can just see. I don't need that much to know where we're going. Other people need to be hit over the head to figure out where we're going. I just need little bits and pieces to kind of know.

[Alicia Krause]

And it becomes obvious to you.

[Adam Carolla]

Things become obvious to me because I'm more sensitive to the patterns. And it's a weird. And some of it's just weird. Like language is a big thing now. And pronouns and control you with language. But 30 years ago when I was doing Loveline, they would say there was two that hit. I'd go, are you blind? They go, I'm seeing impaired. I go, is that blind? We say seeing impaired. I go, what difference does that make? And then later it went from rape victim to rape survivor. And I was like, what? Why is everyone grabbing and twisting and using and controlling the language? And I kept saying, who cares? Who cares what's going on? And now I kind of see it. Now I realize it's, you know, these aren't illegal aliens. These are undocumented workers. Like we're just twisting. These are unhoused neighbors. They're unhoused neighbors now. They're not homeless junkies. They're unhoused. And now I understand the method to their madness. This is gender signed at birth. I don't know what the fuck you're talking about. Donating eggs for 30 grand. Ladies, hello. It's not a donation. Either way. I get what you're doing with the language now. At the beginning, it just struck me that they were messing with it and I didn't know why. But now I realize they're playing out well, they want their way.

[Alicia Krause]

Sometimes it feels like we're in brave new world.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. But I did notice things. And I also. But it's. Look, you need to recognize patterns and profile and you need to do that with dogs. When you're walking down the street, you need to know what that dog, what Is that dog up to. What might that dog do?

[Alicia Krause]

Sometimes the little ones are the bitchiest.

[Adam Carolla]

I hate little dogs.

[Alicia Krause]

They are like, the most prone to jump on you and bite.

[Adam Carolla]

I have a yes, but I think. And the big ones are so much more docile. Anyway. All right, things. Let me ask you this.

[Alicia Krause]

Okay?

[Adam Carolla]

I'm bringing you into this mix, Dawson.

[Alicia Krause]

Oh, fun. Come on in, Dawson.

[Adam Carolla]

I am so saddened by the state of California in terms of driving. And no one using their blinker. Drives me nuts. Like, I literally almost got clipped by a big dually Ford truck yesterday on the 101 because the guy just. I was just riding. I was right next to him, but he just. And I was like, all right, I didn't see that. You did not hit your blinker. We were in pretty heavy traffic, but sometimes heavy traffic. Moving.

[Alicia Krause]

Yes.

[Adam Carolla]

We're like heavy traffic moving. Like NASCAR boxed up and this guy and his big dualies move right on. And I was like, just use your blinker. You just use your blinker. And then today, someone was waiting to turn right, and I was like, I think they're turning right, but I don't know because they don't put their blinker on. And it's always driven me nuts. And we need to put up on the signs, and it'll prevent a lot of accidents. But the other thing I realize, and I never thought about it until this morning when I was sitting behind this person who looked like they were turning right, except for had no intention of turning right. You know, the people that need. They need a fucking guy to go out in the street with a cone and, like, stop traffic so her Highness or his Highness can turn right. You know what I mean? Just fucking zipper in. Would you just get going? But they never used their signal. The blinker has an audible noise to it.

[Alicia Krause]

Yes. That you hear.

[Adam Carolla]

And it sort of makes you come on, come on, come on. Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick. Like you're kind of on the clock, but if you don't use it, you just sit there in silence and retard is, I'm doing nothing. And I want you to use that fucking blinker. Because I think the blinker gets you motivated. It makes a noise. It's like a clock. Like a stopwatch ticking. Like, I would like a car that just went the blinker. Forget about the tick, tick. Then just go.

[Alicia Krause]

Counted you down.

[Adam Carolla]

Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go.

[Alicia Krause]

What is that board game that you closer to your time being out? Like, the sound gets hot Potato. Yeah, though is that one or like. It's like the turn thing. And it's like goes from tick, tick, tick, and then gets faster, faster, faster, faster. That point, though, is why I don't understand people. Maybe it's all usually old people that put on their blinker but then never turn and they're driving down like, the 101. And I'm like, your blinker has been on for two miles. Like, are you not aware?

[Adam Carolla]

Blood. God bless Nana. At least they touched it. I like, the people just make all the way. They go all the way through life without ever touching the fucking blinker. And I don't feel like they think they need to do it, which is the thing, but somebody needs to beat them over the head and go, use your fucking blinker. Use your blinker. You're causing accidents. People don't know where you're going. Just do it. The idea that there's never a campaign for that is nuts. But only today did I think about the imperative of the sound going. Come on, come on, come on. Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick. You're on the clock, bitch. Let's go.

[Producer Dawson]

Well, part of it all roads lead to narcissism.

[Alicia Krause]

That's what I was going to say. Simpatico.

[Producer Dawson]

Especially in Los Angeles. Everyone's an island.

[Adam Carolla]

I know.

[Producer Dawson]

It's about, they're the president of their own country. Everyone else is going to move forward.

[Adam Carolla]

I know, but part of my driving plan is I want people to know what I'm doing because I'm trying to move over. I don't want you speeding up. I want you to go, oh, that guy's making his way over here. Or I'm turning left and I'm going. I'm gonna go in front of you at some point. Like, you're coming. Like, I want you to know also, I turn my blinker on a lot just to kind of let people go. Hey, I'm here, I'm here. I'm pulling out onto pch. Here I am. Look, take a look. Something's flashing.

[Alicia Krause]

Yep.

[Adam Carolla]

Here's a question for you, Alicia Krause.

[Alicia Krause]

Yes, sir.

[Adam Carolla]

I was talking to Dr. Drew about this today, and it sounds a little obvious, but I'll put it to you this way. We're talking about, like, what a shit show. We're talking about California. Are they gonna fix California? Can we fix California? Is it fixable? Can we get some new. Why do these idiots and I come from a group of idiots who would just vote for Gavin Newsom for the rest of their life? They don't care. Homeless, fires, it could all be damned taxes. That doesn't matter. They would just, that's how they would vote. And so Drew was kind of saying, well, what is up with that? You know, they can't change. They can't at some point essentially admit they were wrong and just go another direction. And I said, you know, it's kind of an interesting conceit if you think about California and you think about like Los Angeles and then places like New York City and New York and Chicago. But LA is about as blue as you can get. You have a female black, progressive, maybe even half communist mayor in Karen Bass, and then you have mostly female legislation and city council and all that. And then you have a total deep leg crossing pussy governor named Gavin Newsom. And it's about as blue as you can, as you can make it.

[Alicia Krause]

Did you mention the super majority?

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, and the supermajority and everything else. Okay, it is as Democratic as you can really make a city. Shouldn't all the Democrats that live in other places be flocking to la because that's their goal, that's their dream. Like that's what they wanted. Like, there are plenty of people who go, I'm moving to Florida because I like Ron DeSantis. I like the way he runs his state. I'm a Republican and that's what I want, so I'm going there.

[Alicia Krause]

Even if they're not Republican, they like to say they're a Democrat, but they still like the way that Republicans are.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, everyone likes less homeless and less crime and clean streets and no taxes and less taxes and no taxes and whatever. Okay, they go, but thinking about, if you really just think about how Democrats talk and about how it's the end of thing and Trump and Newsom's the best and all that, why isn't every Democrat in the United States making active plans to relocate to the place that is run by Democrats Completely. It should be a utopia for you, except where, you know, it's a piece of shit. That's the rub. Like if you said to an alien, if you just said to an alien, you go, look, we got Republicans and then Democrats. Oh, forget it, let's just go blue and red or whatever. And they go, what's the bluest of the blue? The bluest of the blue is Los Angeles. That's everybody in charge thinks like the blue people. So then they go, oh, well, then it must be all the blue people are dying to live there, right? No, no, they're leaving.

[Jackie Fabulous]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

Wait, I don't get it? I thought there were the blue people

[Alicia Krause]

in six months and one day somewhere else.

[Adam Carolla]

Right, right. No, they're moving to the red place. Well, wait a minute. They're the blue people. No, I know, but they want to live. They want to have a good life. Oh, well, then wait a minute. Why does anyone ever vote for the blue people? The fucking blue people don't even want to live with the blue people. So all you have to do when you're trying to figure out what's a better way to govern is this. Go. All right, well, let's just take Los Angeles or let's just take Florida or take California. Take Florida or Texas or Tennessee sometimes, or whatever. Or Chicago, whatever, and go. What city's not run right? What city's a piece of shit? What city don't people. Where are people leaving and where are they going? That's all. And if you're talking to an alien, they would immediately arrive at a conclusion that wherever they're going to should be. That's the way to run a city versus the place they're leaving. So again, I feel like the right is consistent in that they go, I would like to live in a place that is run to the right by a Republican and in a more conservative way. The left is not.

[Alicia Krause]

But we do like liberals who make our Pour over coffee. Pour over and maybe give us tattoos.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, you got a tattoo?

[Jackie Fabulous]

I have a couple.

[Adam Carolla]

That's right. Oh, more than one.

[Alicia Krause]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

I know there's a Slippery when wet, but I'm not sure. I haven't seen in your others. Nope, nope.

[Alicia Krause]

I love how they're both, like, faith related and you just had to go there.

[Adam Carolla]

I had to go to slippery one way.

[Alicia Krause]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

I was saying you're a big Bon Jovi fan. I think that's. That's a Jovi album. Yes, it is. Yeah.

[Alicia Krause]

Saw him once in Central Park.

[Adam Carolla]

You saw him in Central park walking or performing?

[Alicia Krause]

No, performing. Like they have big.

[Adam Carolla]

Because people walk sometimes.

[Alicia Krause]

No.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, like you saw him in Central Park.

[Alicia Krause]

Yeah, like perform.

[Adam Carolla]

I know, it's a very interesting thing. If you say to the average human being, I saw you go, I saw him, not them. And then you go in Central park, would most people think you saw him perform or some walking past you?

[Alicia Krause]

If I said, I saw you two in Central park, you'd probably go to. Well, you saw you two perform because it's John Park.

[Adam Carolla]

But if you said, I saw Bono in Central Park.

[Alicia Krause]

Yeah. You would think I just saw him. Like Mandarin.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. If you said, I saw Woody Allen in Central Park. You wouldn't think of movie. Interesting. So you saw them perform?

[Alicia Krause]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

How were they?

[Alicia Krause]

It was good. It was a long time ago. Need to dig up some pictures from back then.

[Adam Carolla]

[Commercial Announcer]

Pluto TV has thousands of free movies and TV shows.

[Jackie Fabulous]

I swear, if I'm lying, I'm dying.

[Alicia Krause]

This is the mindset. Free.

[Jackie Fabulous]

This is the mantra. Free.

[Commercial Announcer]

This is the mindset. With movies like Interstellar Dreamgirls and Gladiator,

[Adam Carolla]

why are you not entertained?

[Commercial Announcer]

And TV shows like Survivor, SpongeBob SquarePants, the Fairly Odd Parents and Ghosts. Pluto TV is always free.

[Adam Carolla]

Huzzah.

[Commercial Announcer]

Pluto TV stream. Now pay. Never.

[Adam Carolla]

The other thing I wanted to say.

[Alicia Krause]

I love how you told me you were gonna ask me a question, then you didn't get to the question.

[Adam Carolla]

What was my question? What's on your tattoo?

[Alicia Krause]

Well, I have one on my arm. Oh, I can't roll up my sleeve. It's the El Camino Santiago shell. So it's the shell that's on the signs that guides all the pilgrims along the pilgrimage. And then on my left rib, you can only see it if I'm wearing a cutout dress or a bathing suit. I have a Song of Solomon. I am my beloved, and my beloved is mine.

[Adam Carolla]

So sometimes when you feel like you need some guidance, you look down at this symbol on your forearm and then walk into a tree. Is that what you're telling me?

[Alicia Krause]

Sometimes when I'm like, I'm doing a hard thing, I can look down at the shell and be like, I've already done a hard thing and I can do more hard things.

[Adam Carolla]

I just wrote, you're all I need on my Left forearm and sometimes with in Sharpie. Yeah. You know, I stumbled onto something today because I was talking to Andrew and we were laughing about Tim Walls and what a simpleton retard he is. He's such a douche. And I forgot that he basically. He made that clip. We'll play the clip. But I forgot he was tearing into

[Alicia Krause]

Elon for the Nazi salute or something.

[Adam Carolla]

I guess everyone hates Elon.

[Alicia Krause]

Well, this was like a while ago during like where people were like, oh my God, he's working with the president and he did a Nazi salute.

[Adam Carolla]

I don't. Yes. And I don't even know what people believe anymore. I don't know if they really believe

[Alicia Krause]

it or they just, they are so reactive to it. And then I loved all of the conservatives on Twitter that found images of like the Clintons and AOC and Bernie Sanders and Tim Waltz doing the same shtick.

[Adam Carolla]

I've settled on this. I don't think that. I think that Nancy Pelosi and Hillary Clinton and Obama and the Clintons in general and all them. I think for them it's like pro wrestling. They're out there and they're beating the shit out of each other and talking smack and then they both go out to locker room and they go out for beers. It's just a game to them. So I don't think they think he's a Nazi or doing a Nazi salute or any. They say it. Chuck Schumer says it, but he doesn't think it. But it's the 19 year old who's on all the meds, who stole his dad's hunting rifle, who believes. Yes, he believes Chuck Schumer. And that's the problem we're having. Chuck Schumer doesn't believe any of it. He doesn't give a fuck. And Nancy Pelosi's just gaming the stock market. She doesn't give a shit. But the 19 year old on all the meds believes that he's looking up

[Alicia Krause]

to these people that thinks that they have insider information who needs to then

[Adam Carolla]

kill the next Hitler. Right. It's horrible though. They weaponize these people. They never really discuss that. And no one really breaks it down that way. But you. Yes, Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi. You can call Donald Trump or Elon Hitler all you want. You never believe it and you don't give a shit. But someone else does and you've polluted their brain. And that's where the assassination attempt comes in.

[Alicia Krause]

Steve Scalise, who was shot by a Bernie Breaux Might beg to differ.

[Adam Carolla]

So, all right, so he does this Tim Walls, who's a dope, basically.

[Alicia Krause]

He's such a dope.

[Adam Carolla]

Does his vision of what it would like to be a billionaire. Like when you were nine and somebody said, back when I was nine, if you had a million dollars, what would you do? I'd be like, I would live at Disneyland. I would go to the castle, and I would live in the castle at Disneyland. And I would eat candy for every meal.

[Alicia Krause]

Cake, tin, corn dog, right?

[Adam Carolla]

That's his version. That's his adult version. So we'll listen to him. Which is funny.

[Jackie Fabulous]

This may be just me.

[Adam Carolla]

If I'm the richest man in the

[Jackie Fabulous]

world, I'm like, out on the streets

[Adam Carolla]

handing out the money. It'd be fun as hell just to help people out. Go help people out. Not this guy. All right? Not this guy. He's gonna help people out. He's got. He's gonna help junkies out. Okay, let me explain something. So first off, Tim, such a great guy, okay? Elon Musk created a bunch of really good jobs, which is better than handing out money on the street.

[Alicia Krause]

Tesla.

[Adam Carolla]

Just to help people out. But. Okay, all right, but here's the thing. As I was talking about with Andrew, Tim Walls did give away millions and millions and millions of dollars. He gave it away to Somalis. He does. He is.

[Alicia Krause]

Touche.

[Adam Carolla]

He is a billionaire. He's giving away billions of dollars, fraud dollars, to the leering center, and everyone is opening some sort of hospice and some sort of kids with down syndrome. Tim, you did give away billions of dollars. And Gavin Newsom, who may not be a billionaire, gave away $24 billion to homeless NGOs and cronies and assholes who did nothing. So in a way, Tim is correct. He did give away.

[Alicia Krause]

He.

[Adam Carolla]

He gave away government sanctioned millions and billions of dollars. So I don't know, maybe he was

[Alicia Krause]

campaigning for more votes too.

[Adam Carolla]

Is there that big a difference between Tim just going to the streets and handing it out or him just handing it out to all the Somali daycare centers? Is it. That's the point. It's really the same difference. A bunch of people got a bunch of money.

[Alicia Krause]

I also don't understand with liberals that, like, work can be hard, work can suck. You know, some people, you know, you need to advocate for yourself, do good job, pick a career where you can have incremental increase or drastic increase of income, whatever. But, like, are we gonna forget that there is a purpose to work and that sometimes when it's like the. If you Give a man a fish versus teach him to fish analogy that goes to this. It goes to the leering centers and the fraud or the welfare or just government handouts just generally of like when somebody is just so used to just getting something for nothing, they're gonna go home and continue to do nothing. You're not bettering their overall life. But when you create a trillion dollar industry or company or revolutionary idea that can provide tens of thousands of dollars and help research and development and all these things like that is not just providing somebody with the money that you're talking about, it's providing them with that purpose and longevity and safety net.

[Adam Carolla]

These people are so fucking whacked out of their brain. They're like these children and these moms, they deserve to live in dignity. In dignity. You giving them free shit and slopping their kids at school with free slop food, that's living in dignity. You giving out a universal income to everyone, that's living in dignity. The government feeding your kids, that's you living in dignity. What the fuck is wrong with you assholes? You don't know what they're talking about. You need dignity. It's called hard days work. Hard days pay and earn. Words like earn, that's where dignity comes in. You getting up in the morning, having a place to go and having a sense of pride and a workman or woman or an accomplishment. Not you fucking laying around waiting for a government check or some government cheese or some meal deal and some breakfast ticket for your kid to be poured slop to in the mornings at school. That's not living in dignity at all. It's the opposite of living in dignity. Since when is getting free shit living in dignity, you idiots?

[Alicia Krause]

Well, and historically, we've talked about this so many times. The fires are the most recent example of how nonprofits and churches and religious groups on the ground can so much more immediately and effectively serve people in a community versus the government.

[Jackie Fabulous]

Right?

[Alicia Krause]

Because with that you have that. If you're going to the church, you probably go to church there. So you know the people in the church, so you feel accountable to repay or give back or show them how you're trying to change because of the sacrifice that those people have made to help you. Or you're a local nonprofit and you're like, I know this community. We need to do X, Y and Z to get them out of the streets, in the bunk and then off the bunk and into a job and so on and so forth, right? There has to be like an end goal. And with the government. It's like once something starts, it ain't stopping. The checks just keep going.

[Adam Carolla]

They did the $100 million concert to raise money for the victims of the fire. And the money went to like 250 NGOs. Mostly not to do with fires. Mostly leftist voting shit. Ye leftist voting shit. And not a penny went to anybody who had a house that burned down. What the fuck else do you need? What other proof do you need to know what you're dealing with here? You have a concert to raise money for the victims of the fire, and they get 100 million bucks and the money gets all doled out to a bunch of NGOs that are left leaning political organizations, most of which have nothing to do with fire. And then when someone starts checking and wanting to look around, you guys shut down, shut your doors and your windows. There's no transparency and no one will talk.

[Alicia Krause]

Yep.

[Adam Carolla]

Okay. What else do you need to know about these people?

[Alicia Krause]

I don't know. I mean, you've said it all.

[Adam Carolla]

Thank you. All right, let's do some news then. Let's do some news then.

[Alicia Krause]

I mean, along those lines. Moving from one hellscape of Los Angeles to another hellscape of New York City. Apparently, as New York City's migrant spending has topped a whopping $10 billion.

[Adam Carolla]

See, they are Mondame and Hochul. They are billionaires.

[Alicia Krause]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

They're handing out billion dollars. I mean, look, you can go, elon Musk is a billionaire, but if you say this guy's in charge of handing out billions, in a way, he's more powerful than the dude who's not gonna hand out his own money.

[Producer Dawson]

It's easier to give away someone else's money.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. Tim Walls is billionaire. He just hands out our billions.

[Alicia Krause]

Yep. So Mamdani is doing the same, but he's saying, alas, that's not enough.

[Adam Carolla]

Mm. Mm.

[Alicia Krause]

He needs another 1.2 billion. And get this on top of that, he's saying that New York City's property taxes are probably gonna have to raise if the state of Sov Hochul there won't tax the millionaires within the state to fund his programs like this.

[Adam Carolla]

Do these people understand what year it is and how flexible people are with moving?

[Alicia Krause]

Cause it's easier now than ever before. I think.

[Adam Carolla]

Moving, if you go back 200 years, you get to the Donner Party. And moving was quite difficult and dangerous, but they still did it. But it was hard. And thus, whatever percentage of people. I would argue that 150 years ago in this country, 82% of the populace died in the town they were born in.

[Alicia Krause]

Yes.

[Adam Carolla]

If you go back 150 years.

[Alicia Krause]

Yes.

[Adam Carolla]

Those days are gone.

[Alicia Krause]

Even I would even say like 70 years ago. Like you had a lot of people post World War II, post Vietnam, where they go, they go home, they get a job, they build a business.

[Adam Carolla]

Right, Right. And if you go around this building and you ask everyone where they're from, it'll all be somewhere else even. Maybe the closest is like a Dawson, but he's a Bay Area, up north, guys, not here. And people are so mobile now. And it's, you know, it's U Haul, it's technology, it's the automobile. It's the interstate system. It's work from home. It's southwest, you know, $89 flights. I mean, people are just mobile is hell. It's like luggage used to be a steamer trunk and you'd have to get porters to carry it onto a boat with you. Now everything's got wheels, baby.

[Alicia Krause]

People used to get fancy when they travel.

[Adam Carolla]

People just leave. Getting off the plane, people just leave. So what Mondami doesn't understand, it's the same thing they did here with production in Los Angeles. Like, we're gonna just make it the permitting process a little more and a little more unionized. And it's like someone should have said to these guys 20 years ago, people are just gonna leave. The productions are gonna leave. No, they live here. They like shooting in la. They love la. They have their homes in Beverly Hills. They're gonna fucking leave. They're going to Canada. They're going to Prague, they're going to New Mexico. They will leave. Once you get the most progressive people in the world who are constantly talking about taxing the rich to leave to save a couple of dollars on taxes for production, now everyone can leave.

[Alicia Krause]

What's kind of funny too, is they did it themselves. Not just in all the ways that you said, but also in the work from home thing is a huge thing.

[Adam Carolla]

Right.

[Alicia Krause]

When so many jobs can be done remote or you only have to go. And they created the pandemic.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah.

[Alicia Krause]

And the pressure of the pandemic of, nope, can't open schools, can't work in an office, must continue working from home. And now that's so seeped into the culture.

[Adam Carolla]

Yes.

[Alicia Krause]

That that makes it even easier for people to leave. Horrible progressive policies.

[Adam Carolla]

The other thing that the politicians don't get is a the millionaires and the billionaires are smarter than they are because they work in the private sector and they had to do something. You fucking dumb shits never did anything. So that's number one. They're smarter than you are. They count on this thing, and they count on this thing where it's like, hey, man, if you have billions of dollars, you can afford to pay another couple of percentage points on it. Yes, you can afford. They act like you're going out to a steakhouse and the billionaire's going, well, I'll get the strip steak, but I don't know if I can afford the prime. And it's like, yeah, no, he'll buy the prime. He'll buy a Rolls Royce. He'll do that. What he's not gonna do is waste money. He's not gonna give it to you so you can squander it on a bunch of illegals or homeless bullshit. That's the thing. You don't get it. They do a thing where they go, you're already a billionaire. What is a couple little extra dollars? Or it's like, that's not the point.

[Alicia Krause]

Yep.

[Adam Carolla]

They're not in the business of wasting money on your shitty.

[Alicia Krause]

They want to invest in something.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. They're going to leave. And then you sit around and go, I don't get it. Why are you leaving? You could just stay here and pay a little bit more. It's a bad investment. Giving you more money to fucking waste is not a good investment for guys who make good investments. And that's why they're. They're billionaires, because they make good investments. You are a shit investment. Gavin Newsom, you spent $24 billion on homeless people. You've not put anyone inside a home or built a home. You then spent $20 billion on a bullet train, and it's going nowhere. And it's 19 years in, and it's not gonna be. So you are a shit investment. So I'm not gonna invest in you because I'm a smart and savvy investor, and that's why I'm a billionaire.

[Alicia Krause]

And for some of the people, too. The employees will follow.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, for sure.

[Alicia Krause]

Right?

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, yeah.

[Alicia Krause]

So Hochul, I think, is totally running for president. You think she's gonna run for president?

[Adam Carolla]

Part of the reason she is such a fucking dope. Look, maybe I sound like an asshole or a broken record, but I've said it a million times. You can go, Jim Jordan or Tom Cotton or any of these people. Any. Marco Rubio, J.D. vance. Okay, okay. You disagree with everything they say. They're not fucking dopes. Yeah, she's a dope. She talks, you go. I Don't know what the fuck she's talking about.

[Alicia Krause]

I think she's slightly better than Whitmer.

[Adam Carolla]

Whitmer's a dope, too.

[Alicia Krause]

Whitmer is so bad. Did you see her performance in, like, at the.

[Adam Carolla]

I don't know anything about stuff.

[Alicia Krause]

These guys about Ukraine and was like,

[Adam Carolla]

I don't know, we're going fishing. You guys stay home.

[Alicia Krause]

But I think that Hopeful is planning on running because she's kind of moderating in certain ways.

[Adam Carolla]

She's got a. She's gonna get that. If you find that clip of, like, black people don't know what a computer is from three years ago or whatever, she said that. Oh, there's a great. There's a great clip. It's not even old. It's not even old. That is gonna be drudged up and thrown in her face over and over again. The whole goal.

[Alicia Krause]

Well, I mean, also her support of Mom Donnie is gonna be thrown in her face. So I think she's trying to moderate because she's seeking reelection. And she says that one of the things that she's done. So she has Mamdani saying, hey, I need more money from you. We need to increase the tax. Increase the property tax, income tax in New York City. And Hochul is saying, no, no, no, I'm not gonna do that. She's completely ruled out income tax raises and said that the state would contribute 1.5 billion to help reduce New York City's budget deficit. Is that common? I should know this, but, like, is that common for a state? Like, does Texas say, hey, Austin, to reduce your budget deficit? Here's, like, some money from our state budget.

[Adam Carolla]

I don't know. I'm not sure it makes sense, but I'm not sure. What year is this from? I mean, it's recent.

[Alicia Krause]

Was this the same global conference? This was only two years ago.

[Adam Carolla]

Two years ago.

[Alicia Krause]

Like a year and a half.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, two years ago. Two years ago.

[Alicia Krause]

Young black kids growing up in the Bronx who don't even know what the word computer is. They don't know. They don't know these things. And I want the world open up to all of them, because when you

[Adam Carolla]

have their One more time, just for fun. Two years ago.

[Alicia Krause]

Young black kids growing up in the Bronx who don't even know what the word computer is. They don't know. They don't know these things, by the way.

[Adam Carolla]

That is so insulting. That is so insulting.

[Alicia Krause]

It's racist.

[Adam Carolla]

First off, the number one group who steals computers are black kids from the Bronx. I mean, you see the smash and grab at the Best Buy.

[Producer Dawson]

Somehow that was less insulting than was she. Somehow that was less insulting.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, mine's accurate. Mine at least is accurate. Hers. Bullshit. Nobody steals more laptops than black kids. Okay, so this is so racist and so insulting to this podcaster, it makes me want to puke. It really does.

[Alicia Krause]

I mean, the iPhone came. The iPad came out in, what, 2012. The iPhone has been around since, like, like, 2008, 2009. Computers have been around for a really long time.

[Adam Carolla]

No demographic uses other people's computers. They've stolen more than the young black man.

[Alicia Krause]

Dawson's gonna pass that.

[Adam Carolla]

He loves a good racist joke. Yes. Okay, so this is super insulting.

[Producer Dawson]

Yes.

[Adam Carolla]

Two years old.

[Alicia Krause]

I wonder if there's ever gonna reach a point because she did support him so much like Hochul was supporting Mamdani. If she's gonna, like, call him up and be like, bro, hold up.

[Adam Carolla]

Right?

[Alicia Krause]

Just pause. Could we just figure some stuff out? You're making Democrats look bad. And I really wanna run for office in a couple of years.

[Adam Carolla]

It'd be nice.

[Alicia Krause]

It'd be nice.

[Adam Carolla]

Hey, look something up that just popped in my head. Dawson. Sam Harris, I think he was from ktla.

[Alicia Krause]

Oh, he has a podcast. He's had a podcast for a while.

[Adam Carolla]

Right. Wait a minute. Who's Sam Harris from ktla? Entertainment reporter. Or is that Sam Smith?

[Alicia Krause]

Sam Smith is a gay singer.

[Adam Carolla]

That's the gay singer. And then Sam Harris was the KTLA guy, right? Oh, Sam Rubin. God damn it.

[Alicia Krause]

Wait, didn't he die?

[Adam Carolla]

He did. He did. It's coming up. I just did ktla. That's why I just saw his picture up there. Coming up on two years. Anyway, good dude, I don't know. Part of the landscape out here. I went and did KTLA this morning, and I walked into the lounge and it was like, the sand Sam Rubin Lounge.

[Alicia Krause]

And that's what brought us to.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, he was a good dude. He was there for millionaires.

[Alicia Krause]

It's also too young. Way too young.

[Adam Carolla]

Way too young. Morgan and Morgan. Well, there's a reason why Tom Brady has seven rings. Just like there's a reason Morgan and Morgan is America's largest injury law firm. Over 20 billion recovered for more than 500,000 clients. That's not a slogan. That's results. In one Florida case, insurance offered 350k client, walked away with $12 million. They've been doing this for 35 years. Fighting for the people. Morgan and Morgan, America's largest injury law firm for the people. Not the powerful. It's Morgan and Morgan. Right, Dawson, if you're ever injured, you

[Producer Dawson]

can check out Morgan and Morgan. Their fee is free unless they win. For more information, go to for the people.com Adam or dial pound law pound 529 from your cell phone. That's f o r the people.com Adam or pound law pound 529 from your cell. This is a paid advertisement.

[Commercial Announcer]

Pluto TV has thousands of free movies and TV shows.

[Jackie Fabulous]

I swear, if I'm lying, I'm dying.

[Alicia Krause]

This is the mindset.

[Jackie Fabulous]

Free.

[Commercial Announcer]

This is.

[Jackie Fabulous]

This is the mantra brain.

[Commercial Announcer]

This is the mindset. Mindset. With movies like Interstellar, Dreamgirls and Gladiator,

[Adam Carolla]

Why are you not entertained?

[Commercial Announcer]

And TV shows like Survivor, SpongeBob SquarePants, the Fairly Odd Parents and Ghosts. Pluto TV is always free.

[Adam Carolla]

Huzzah.

[Commercial Announcer]

Pluto TV stream. Now pay. Never.

[Adam Carolla]

All right, what else?

[Alicia Krause]

All right, now. Not talking about a good dude. Stephen Colbert. Have you heard about this legal back and forth of. He's like, they wouldn't let me. And then the legal department is like, actually, yes, we would let you. And then now he's trying to make it all about him. I think he's actively trying to get fired.

[Adam Carolla]

It's a vic. You know what drives me nuts? Anyone who makes themselves a victim, it drives me nuts when like Gavin Newsom was doing that thing with Ted Cruz, you know, I'm dyslexic. You made fun of. Oh, shut the fuck up. The guy. There was a guy who was in Burbank who shut down Tinhorn Flats, one of the Burbank City council guys. His argument was he was retarded, basically. I mean, he had a disability. He slept in his car. And it was funny. Me and Mark Garagos were like, hey, retard, don't fucking run the city. Then obviously you're retarded. You don't know what you're doing, but they do it. The argument with dudes is I have a disability. It's like, okay, by the way. And. And Joe Biden had a stutter. Like, what the fuck are we talking? I've never heard.

[Alicia Krause]

Okay, anyway, so Colbert wanted to interview a guy named Talarico who is running against Jasmine Crockett and one other lesser known Democrat for the U.S. senate race in Texas. Right. And the FCC actually has rules that specifically during a primary for a talk show like that that you have to give equal time. Now, as a hardcore conservative, I think the FCC rules on equal time are BS because way back in the day there used to be like that was really hardcore. And I remember when I worked at Hannity, having to. You can't just like invite the other person to come on. Like you actually had to like give them equal time or the Clinton and the Obama administrations would like, screw you.

[Adam Carolla]

You had. Because if they declined on the invite, then it's not equal time.

[Alicia Krause]

Yes. And then they were really hammering it down. I don't know what the Trump FCC has decided to do, but they have apparently said they're agreeing with cbs and CBS is refuting Colbert's assertion that he was not allowed to have James Tallory go on. They just said that the CBS legal department said, hold up, if you're gonna interview this guy, then you also have to give time to and promote as much these other candidates specifically because they're within a party primary.

[Adam Carolla]

Yes.

[Alicia Krause]

But he, I guess and his producers decided to just blatantly lie about it and get out in front of it. This was, you know, from his show last night.

[Stephen Colbert]

Not one of my guests tonight, that's Texas State Representative James Tallarico. He was supposed to be here, but we were told in no uncertain terms by our network's lawyers who called us directly that we could not have him on the broadcast. Then, then I was told in some uncertain terms that not only could I not have him on, I could not mention me not having him on. And because my network clearly doesn't want us to talk about this, let's talk about this.

[Adam Carolla]

You probably heard he's a hero, he's a renegade.

[Stephen Colbert]

You might have heard of this thing called the equal time rule.

[Jackie Fabulous]

Okay?

[Stephen Colbert]

It's an old FCC rule that applies only to radio and broadcast television, not cable or streaming. That says if a show has a candidate on during an election, they have to have all that candidate's opponents on as well. It's the FCC's most time honored rule. Right after no nipples at the Super Bowl. There's long been an exception for this rule. An exception for news interviews and talk show interviews with politicians. Now that's crucial. How else were voters supposed to know back in 92 that Bill Clinton sucked at saxophone? But on January 21st of this year, a letter was released by FCC chairman and smug bowling pin Brendon Carr. In this letter, Carr said he was thinking about dropping the exception for talk shows because he said some of them were motivated by partisan purposes. Well, sir, you're chairman of the fcc, so fccu,

[Adam Carolla]

what is much. What's he lying about?

[Alicia Krause]

Well, so he's saying that CBS said in no uncertain terms that he could not have the guy on. And CBS Legal has now responded and said, no, actually, we told you you could. You just had to. Because of this regulation.

[Adam Carolla]

Yes. He's arguing that this regulation doesn't apply

[Alicia Krause]

to him, and he's saying that it shouldn't apply to him. And of course, he has to, like, make Trump and his administration the boogeyman.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah.

[Alicia Krause]

And then also, like, NPR, Ms. Now. Was that what they're called now? I keep wanting to say msnbc.

[Adam Carolla]

I don't.

[Alicia Krause]

And liberal activists are all saying, my God, it's Bari Weiss. And she changing CBS News.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, it's Barry Wise.

[Jackie Fabulous]

Yes.

[Alicia Krause]

That's what they're trying to say.

[Adam Carolla]

Mm. I like Barry.

[Alicia Krause]

It's all her fault. Me too.

[Adam Carolla]

Good part.

[Alicia Krause]

So he was able to. I guess another way that he circumvented it is he posted it on the YouTube channel, which, of course, this is like, free publicity for that. Right. Like, everybody's gonna go over there and watch it on the YouTube channel anyway. And he is saying. I don't know. I think he's hankering to get fired and continue to be a victim. Just make a shit ton of money on being a victim.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. I mean, Hollywood is a lot of fantasy virtue signaling. It's a lot of sort of comic book hero stuff, but most everyone's a coward, and most all the guys are pussies, I've found in Hollywood. But they do a lot of talk stuff, and then they do a kind of talk and a victim, and they do. Hollywood does a thing where it's like, you get up. Up in front of a group of people who think exactly how you think and sound exactly how you sound, and then you tell them something they wholeheartedly agree with and then go, I know they try to shut me up, and I know I'm risking my job, and I know I may be risking my life, but I'm gonna say it. Fuck Trump. And then everyone goes nuts. And it's like, that's not what a hero is, because everyone agrees with you. And even though you're calling Trump a dictator and Hitlerian, nothing's ever gonna happen to you, and you know it. So you get to.

[Alicia Krause]

That's why Mark Ruffalo can talk about it while wearing his Renee Goodpin and ice out stuff. Fascism on the red carpet.

[Adam Carolla]

It's sort of a thing where. So what Hollywood does is Hollywood looks out the window at night and sees a shady character lurking around, and they're pussies, and they would never leave and go confront the shady character. But if the shady Character was an avatar made up and invisible, and they knew would never do anything to them. Then they would proudly announce, I'm going out to investigate. And then their wife would go, should we call the cops? And I'd go, no time for backup. And I'd storm out and I'd go, because it's my job to protect this family. And then I'd go out there and I'd go, hey, Stu, how you doing? You're not gonna do anything? You're armed with a feather duster. Thank you. And he'd give me 20 bucks and I'd go back in the house. They know they're brave acting like they do in the movies. They would never do it in real life.

[Alicia Krause]

Of course not.

[Adam Carolla]

They would never. If they thought Trump was a real dictator and a real tyrannical dictator and Hitlerian or Mussolini esque, they would shut their cowardly fucking mouth immediately if they thought.

[Alicia Krause]

And flee the country.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, yeah, yeah. They thought this was China.

[Jackie Fabulous]

I mean, it's why Cuba, Venezuela.

[Adam Carolla]

Right? Okay. They got big problems with Israel. They got big problems with Catholics. They got no problem with Islam. Wait a minute, hold on. You guys love women and you love freedom and you love rights and you hate oppression, Right? But you're going to storm into Catholic churches and you're going to talk tons of shit about the Jews and Israel, but you got nothing to say about the group that actually does all the oppressing and subjugates women and treats women horribly and throws gay. Oh, you love gay rights, right? You love gay rights? Yeah. These guys throw gay guys off top of buildings in a burlap sack. You have anything to say about them? No, I don't. It's a beautiful, peaceful relationship. Why? Well, they cut your fucking head off. They go, charlie het bow on you. They fucking walk into your fucking shit and they start slaughtering people and you're pussies and you don't want to deal with that, but you do want to be a hero. So go to the place where they don't do anything and they don't slaughter you and then go be a hero there. Don Lemon. Go there. Don't go to the mosque and start fucking around. Someone's gonna get you with a machete and you fucking know it. But yet you claim to be a champion of gay rights and women's rights. So that's what you're dealing with with Holland.

[Alicia Krause]

We also love to be a Christian.

[Adam Carolla]

Yes. A lot of I'm the hero, even though I never did shit.

[Alicia Krause]

Yep.

[Adam Carolla]

That's what you have to deal with.

[Alicia Krause]

I mean, but it pays well. The grift pays.

[Adam Carolla]

Mm. It says on my screen the equal time was for the Democratic primary. So the person not getting equal time was Tellarico's opponent, Jasmine Crockett. Because Colbert probably doesn't think she can win.

[Alicia Krause]

Yeah, I mean, he's clearly trying to prop up the guy that is pulling ahead. There is. And then like I said, there was a lesser known candidate. So there's three Democratic candidates. So he'd have to give a segment, a high value segment. Right. I mean, even though Colbert's ratings are crap, like, people still wanna go on the Colbert Show. Like, celebrities and comedians and politicians and stuff are still probably gonna take that call. So he'd have to give three segments on three different nights to, like, a U.S. senate candidate from Texas. That's crazy.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. All right, what else we got?

[Alicia Krause]

We have this horrific story. This comes from the New York Post, but it's been everywhere recently of that trans shooter who people are saying, quote unquote, was an odd bird who wore dresses and heels to work at a shipyard.

[Adam Carolla]

Listen, I was hearkening back to something I said to Dr. Drew a million years ago when this stuff started popping up. And it was circa 1996, let's say. And the rule back then was, if you would like to be. There was pre op and post op and we had cross dressers and we had transvestites and we had all kinds of different titles. So we knew drag queens, which group you were in, you know, now we've just, you know, it's like the trans community or something. But I don't even know what the fuck. I don't know. I go, it's got a dick. Is it cut off? Like, what are they? A woman, by the way, I need to know. Because there's a difference between sharing the locker room pre and post operation. For me, I want some details. I don't want you going into the locker room with your male junk into

[Alicia Krause]

your daughter's locker room. Sorry, girlfriend.

[Adam Carolla]

All right, let's just say yours.

[Alicia Krause]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

Any woman?

[Alicia Krause]

No.

[Adam Carolla]

If you had your junk lopped off. I look at it differently now. It's a different situation and others don't, and we can debate it. But what I'm saying is, because I like to know what category you're in to figure out where to let you go and how much locker room access and so on and so forth. But anyway, back when in 1996, the rule. And I don't even know if this is a rule anymore, but before you got surgery to have your genitals removed or altered, you had to meet with a therapist for a year. And they had to at the end of that year go, okay, this person. This is not a rash decision made. This is not an impulse buy.

[Alicia Krause]

Even before the hormones. Because I think that's part of what the lawsuits are now.

[Adam Carolla]

That's a very good question.

[Alicia Krause]

Start young people on hormones.

[Adam Carolla]

That's a very good question.

[Alicia Krause]

Like after one 30 minute visit, people.

[Adam Carolla]

And maybe the hormone therapy, this is 30 years ago, wasn't as advanced as

[Alicia Krause]

it is now or common.

[Adam Carolla]

I mean, I'm sure in 30 years with, by the way, this went from almost zero to half the kids my kids went to high school with are fucking around with this stuff. But anyway, but here's the whole point. I said, well, go back. This says you don't generally need to meet with a therapist for over a year to begin gender. But what was it like literally 30 years ago? But here's the whole point. I said to Dr. Drew in 1996, and you guys can find tape of it. If you are meeting with a therapist and announcing that I'm a man, but there's a woman trapped inside of me, you're by definition nuts. That's the definition of nuts. You're thinking your Napoleon is less nuts than that. So when are you ever gonna be declared sane? Because the whole motivation for seeing the therapist is you are nuts. And I'm now starting to believe this. We sold this bullshit to everybody that this is some sort of disease or something. I'm now realizing most of them are just fucking nuts. Yes. During the 1990s, it was standard practice to meet with a therapist for at least a year, and often much longer, to obtain a sex change. Gender reassignment surgery. According to the 1990 Harry Cross Benjamin standard of care, which guided most medical gender care at the time, the requirements were strict and included mental health. So the whole point, like how many 14, 15, 16 year old kids, if you met for one full year with a therapist, would want to go under the knife at the end of that year?

[Alicia Krause]

And what's fascinating for leftists that say that less, a lot less, that if you're gay, you were born this way. Statistically, when kids are told to wait and pause, they end up coming out.

[Adam Carolla]

Yes.

[Alicia Krause]

So why is the radical left and the trans movement trying to keep kids from being gay? Why do, like, why are they saying, if you're attracted to a girl and you're a girl, therefore you must be a man?

[Adam Carolla]

Like, we're all I think it's all just a general confusion thing. I was listening to Buck Sexton talk, I think on Megyn Kelly's show the other day, and he's just basically he was saying what I've been saying for years. If you can convince people a woman is a woman and a man is a woman and a woman is a man, everything's on the table. By the way, if you can convince someone a man can be a woman, a woman can be a man, and this gender thing is just some arbitrary thing, then how easy a slam dunk is climate change or Black Lives Matter? I mean that's easy. Convincing you can convince people once you do man as a woman, woman is a man, you convince anyone of anything

[Alicia Krause]

or abortion isn't murder or pot is

[Adam Carolla]

good or best, it's all a layup compared to this.

[Alicia Krause]

Yep.

[Adam Carolla]

And that's the plan. And get people in a general state of confusion where they're questioning their reality and they're also having to shut up. I mean I don't think most people that went along with it just were scared. They didn't want to get yelled at or fired from their job or whatever that is. But mission accomplished. Except for it didn't work because you can't fight Mother Nature. And now we got this.

[Alicia Krause]

So anyway, this guy, this guy apparently was 56. He was a father of six. He murdered his soon to be ex wife roberta and his 23 year old son Aiden in Rhode island over the weekend at a high school hockey game. It happened on Monday, so it was over the President's Day weekend. Colleagues called him short tempered and was known as being an odd bird who showed up to work in quote unquote inappropriate clothing including short skirts and dresses. They told this to the Providence Journal. How the hell could you wear high heels in a shipyard? Said Ryan Fisher, who worked with Dorgan for seven years. He added that he was an employee as an electric cable puller and because quote unquote they had muscle. And another co worker who didn't want to be named claimed that he had only just shown off photos of his ex wife and kids at the shipyards just days before the shooting and that he had previously referred to his ex as his princess and gave zero indication as they were divorced and had gushed about how much he loved his whole family. Apparently he had stressed about having that reputation and was very vocal about being into guns.

What happened to the one year therapy deal that we put into place sensibly for gender reassignment surgery? I mean he back in the day. What is it just gone now? Somebody went that. No more of that.

[Alicia Krause]

Well, I think that certain states are implementing it again specifically and or banning it when it comes to minors. I mean, this guy underwent gender reassignment surgery in 2020. So think about the hormones that you are fake pumping into your body. Yes, it's crazy.

[Adam Carolla]

Bitches be crazy.

[Alicia Krause]

Yeah, I just think that.

[Adam Carolla]

Listen, look, between all the serotonin reuptake inhibitors we're pumping into the young people and all these fucking trans hormones. Yeah, you're fuck brain is scrambled. Of course you're going to do something dumb. I'll let you clear your throat. But let me something I thought about. Maybe Dawson will remember this. Tucker Carlson used to talk about this guy. Remember the Canadian shop teacher that had the triple G tits that were inflatable? He was just walking around with the giant tits. And the school board, I love Canada because they're like, oh, geez, what do we do? What do we do? Tell that crackpot to go home. He can't work in front of kids. You know what I mean? But they're like, no, but he's gotta. He's gotta. I don't. Do you remember this story?

[Alicia Krause]

Oh, I do.

[Adam Carolla]

I. But I don't know.

[Alicia Krause]

It's literally like a shelf.

[Adam Carolla]

Right, but whatever happened to that fella who insisted on showing up to school? Like, was he goofing on the system?

[Alicia Krause]

No, no, I think he really wanted

[Adam Carolla]

to and the school board had to defend him and let him teach. Cause they're Canada and you can't judge.

[Alicia Krause]

It's just gross and it's sad.

[Adam Carolla]

Wait, did you.

[Alicia Krause]

And I would yank it out of that school so fast.

[Adam Carolla]

Hold on, I'm looking at a screen. Something's on my screen now. It says he then also shot himself. But you're talking about the school. You're talking about the hockey game, right? Yeah, but it'd be nice if this guy shot himself too, right? I mean, wouldn't that be good? What? Is this person still teaching shop?

[Alicia Krause]

I'm not gonna say that they need to kill themselves. I'm gonna say that Canada needs to grow a pair and well, she grew up. And make this person, you know, quit, fire, resign.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, this story's like seven years old. So like, I don't know. What. What the hell happened? I'll tell you what, Andrew, circle it. Because tomorrow we'll follow up on the Canadian with the triple GS.

[Alicia Krause]

And we'll try tomorrow to follow up on that.
