Episode Overview

In this episode, comedian and "Gutfeld!" regular Jamie Lissow joins Adam Carolla for a wild, candid discussion. The two trade stories about Alaska living, gym and sauna culture, the social dynamics of public nudity, and an analysis of pop culture and politics—with the Springsteen halftime show and recent musical political posturing in their crosshairs. The latter third of the show sees the duo dissecting current news, from the Olympics to border policy and NYC crime, all filtered through Carolla’s no-holds-barred, skeptical lens. The tone is irreverent, unscripted, and direct, with plenty of digressions and banter.

Alaska Life & Real Estate

[02:34 – 05:15]

• Cold in Alaska: Jamie left Alaska where residents were “celebrating the fact that it was going to be zero tomorrow.”
  • Jamie Lissow (02:42): “Yeah, it's gonna be no degrees tomorrow. And everyone was psyched.”
• Alaska vs. NYC Cold: It feels “almost warmer in Alaska than New York” because Alaskans are prepared—drive everywhere, heated garages, no outdoor activities for kids.
• Alaska Housing: Jamie bought a 5-bed, 3-bath townhouse for $250k—“crazy affordable” by U.S. standards, but prices don't appreciate much.
• HOA Living vs. Luxury Condo vs. ‘In-Between’: Carolla muses on the pros and cons of full amenities, citing Dr. Drew’s NYC place (“amazing gym on the 50th floor with sauna and steam room”), traditional home ownership, and why “in-between” situations make no sense.

---

Saunas, Gym Culture & Sexual Etiquette

[07:50 – 17:20]

• Jamie’s Sauna Story: Jamie’s aversion to shared saunas—prefers privacy due to uncomfortable experiences (“Dicks Out Wednesdays” in a Turkish-Russian sauna in NYC).
• Jamie Lissow (09:16): “I've seen some things. I had a guy touching himself and just staring at me.”
  • Adam: “Which, you know, it feels a little good.”
• Public Nudity & Gay Culture: Adam rails against new gym norms—“board shorts in the sauna is gayer than being naked.”
  • Adam Carolla (08:21): “Now dudes are wearing board shorts, which is weirdly gayer than being naked.”
• Compliments & Choosing Up: Jamie admits feeling “a little complimented” after being singled out by a fellow sauna-goer.
• Massage Mishap: Jamie tells a wild story about accepting a massage at the same sauna, only to get “the closest I think I ever came to having some sort of experience.” Adam jokes: “You did come, though…?”
• Adam’s “Gym Dick” Theory: Discusses the pressure to “make a good showing” in the locker room and how saunas are now “comprised of things that grow your dick and things that shrink your dick… it’s all dick extremes.”

---

The Gutfeld! Circuit & Comedy Touring

[17:20 – 20:10]

• Jamie’s Schedule: Does Gutfeld! about once a week, at least three times a month, despite the grueling Alaska-to-NY travel (ten hours door-to-door).
• Ticket Sales Bump: Guest spots on Gutfeld! translated directly to ticket sales:
  • Jamie Lissow (19:37): “The club told me 45 people bought tickets for me being on Gutfeld, and I was the opener.”
• Opening for Rob Schneider: Jamie reminisces about opening for Rob and how their relationship, and Rob’s personality, evolved (“maybe there was more douche, but he’s a great dude now”).

---

Texting vs. Calling & Multitasking in Modern Life

[23:10 – 30:37]

• Evolution of Communication: Jamie observes the irony of texting coming “after calling” and being the “new thing.”
• Multitasking Dilemma: Both Adam and Jamie bemoan people’s inability to truly multitask—telling stories of friends and coworkers tuning out while “pretending to listen.”
  • Jamie Lissow (24:55): “I stopped being friends with him because when I was talking to him, he would play the guitar.”
• Comedic Riff:
  • Adam: “I’d make a horrible rape victim. I’d be like, well, you know, I take care of myself.”
• Race Car Metaphor: Adam relates it to race car driving—having to simultaneously watch mirrors and the road.
• Women & Multitasking: Adam: “I think women think they can do it, but they can't do it.”

---

Performers & Politics: Springsteen's Speech & Halftime Show Spectacles

[33:06 – 57:30]

• Springsteen Critique:
  • Jamie and Adam criticize Bruce Springsteen’s recent political monologues during concerts, especially the tendency to deliver “blowhardy speeches” set to melodramatic piano.
  • Jamie Lissow (33:19): “Yeah, I wrote it on a Saturday, I recorded it on Sunday, and I released it on Monday. It's like, yeah, no shit. Yeah, that's what it sounds like.”
  • Adam: “It’s sad… he turned out to be kind of a simpleton dope. I told everybody years and years ago, I said, secretly, I think he’s a dope.”
• Musicians "Preachiness": Jamie notes, “It is an abuse of power… people buy tickets to hear the music.”
• Analogy: Adam compares these musical detours to a “prostitute” who uses the time to “unload trauma instead of serving the fantasy.”
• Super Bowl Halftime Analysis:
  • Critiques the shift from concert-style halftime shows to “art installations” and “performance art.”
  • Jokes that Bad Bunny's performance just looked like a long Modelo commercial:
    Adam Carolla (51:00): “It looked to me like an extended Modelo beer commercial.”

---

Alaska Logistics & Sociocultural Musings

[42:25 – 45:00]

• Alaska’s ‘Toughness’:
  • Real cold: “-35°F, and just a 10-min walk from the grocery store feels life-threatening.”
  • Gasoline and diesel dominate, no electric cars (“Not because of the weather – everyone will call you gay.”)
• Packing Heat and Crime:
  • Nearly everyone “packs heat” in Alaska; crime is suppressed by “the fear that everyone might have a gun.”

---

Voter ID, Crime, and Social Policy Rants

[84:32 – 93:53]

• Fetterman Goes Sensible:
  • Adam and Jamie praise John Fetterman’s recent calls for pragmatic border enforcement and voter ID, contrasting his apparent sincerity with other politicians’ opportunism.
  • Adam Carolla (84:59): “He’s very sensible. I don’t know if that’s… the crew he’s representing or he just… seems very authentic to me.”
• Voter ID Rant:
  • Adam rails against the argument that voter ID laws “suppress” minorities:
    Adam Carolla (90:00): “There are people who have an ID and people who intentionally do not want an ID because they're selling shit on the street or not paying taxes… there are 0% people who in earnest would like an ID and can't figure it out.”
  • Jamie adds that in Indiana, you even need an ID to watch pornography.

---

Homelessness, Policing, and the "Pumpkin Shitter Theory"

[98:09 – 102:51]

• NYC Mayor & Mental Health:
  • Critique of recent NYC stance on mental health and policing (post-knife attack incident).
• Carolla’s “Pumpkin Shitter Theory”:
  • Societies where you can leave candy out for Halloween need less policing; “pumpkin shitter” societies (ours) need actual enforcement.
  • Adam Carolla (99:45): “We have a society of what I call pumpkin shitters… That society needs a cop standing on the fucking porch. The honor system is gone.”

[Show Announcer]

From Corolla One studios in Glendale, California, this is the Adam Carolla Show. Adam's comedian, Jamie Lisso and the news with Rudy Povich. And now, Adam Corolla.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, get it on. Got to get it on the chicken to get it on. Thanks for tuning in. Thanks, Stone friend. Love that about you. Jamie Lizza back in studio. Good to see you, my friend.

[Jamie Lissow]

You too. It's so warm here, everywhere in the country. I left Alaska where they were celebrating the fact that it was going to be zero tomorrow.

[Adam Carolla]

Really?

[Jamie Lissow]

They go, yeah, it's gonna be no degrees tomorrow. And everyone was psyched.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, it's weird celebrating zero.

[Jamie Lissow]

Yeah, it's been 50 below for a couple weeks.

[Adam Carolla]

50? Yeah, yeah. I mean I went to. I was in Florida and It was freezing in Florida and I realized I'm from California and I have a problem, which is. But it's a kind of a generalized problem with me, which is I can't picture something being different than where I am right now, you know, and. And it's also kind of my problem with people where the guy's got schizophrenia. And I'm going, oh, get your shit together. What'd you have? For Christ's sake, Get a fucking job.

[Jamie Lissow]

Tape it and go.

[Adam Carolla]

Come on, run some dirt on it. Let's do this. You know what I can't ever picture? And I just pack. I'm going to Florida. So I'm just packing nothing. And then I get there and it's freezing. 50 below zero.

[Jamie Lissow]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

How full time are you with Alaska?

[Jamie Lissow]

So I'm there about a week, a month, and that's about all I can total I can take.

[Adam Carolla]

And what's 50 below?

[Jamie Lissow]

Like you just you in Alaska. It's actually. It almost feels warmer in Alaska than a New York city. Because when it's cold in New York, you're out in it, right? You're on the subway, you got to walk to that thing. In Alaska, they are prepared. They know that it's cold out. So you get in a heated garage, you get in your car. Like there's very little time spent outside, but there's no activities outside with kids or anything. You're all staying inside almost like you're in Phoenix. And it's 150 whatever, right.

[Adam Carolla]

What is your home like in terms of insulation and heating and that kind of stuff.

[Jamie Lissow]

I actually bought a townhouse so that they would have to deal with all that because they're in charge of the heat and this. So I don't, I don't think I. I think I'm gonna have my depth on knowing the insulation. It's warm in there, you know.

[Adam Carolla]

Dual glazed windows?

[Jamie Lissow]

Yeah, I think so.

[Adam Carolla]

Maybe triple glazed. I don't know.

[Jamie Lissow]

I have no idea.

[Adam Carolla]

Do you? And what is it? What does a townhouse like a condo, a reasonably priced condo in a reasonable part of Alaska cost?

[Jamie Lissow]

This. I can't believe I bought my place for about $250,000. Is a five bedroom, two bathroom, three bathroom condo for $250,000.

[Adam Carolla]

Five bedroom?

[Jamie Lissow]

Yeah. And it has gone up in value $0. And like, it just sort of stays that way.

[Adam Carolla]

Right.

[Jamie Lissow]

Property values goes up a little bit because we the military. So it's a huge rental place, but kind of a perfect place if you got kids up there. You don't Worry about the pipes freezing because they sort of check on all that stuff for you.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. So there is a part of life where you want your own swimming pool and your own yard and you want to be able to do a little skinny dipping or something. And then there's that part of life where you just want the homeowners association or whatever, they're going to take care of it. I'm not going to deal with the lawn and the pool, and it just kind of depends on. And I get both sides of that equation. But there's like a third side that I don't get, which is I was just out. I was in New York and I was staying at Dr. Drew's place. And Dr. Drew has a luxury condo. And there's a bell, you know, there's a desk guy and a door guy and an amazing gym on the 50th floor with sauna and steam room, swimming pool. Like, it's amazing. And I get it. It's not really like, I'm a kind of let's take the dog out to the yard and throw the tennis ball kind of guy, or I want to go down to the garage and make it into a wood shop and build something. But I get the turnkey luxury. You can't open the window, you can't smoke and blow it out the bathroom window or any of that fun stuff. But it's just all view, all turnkey, all, by the way, totally secure. Bell guy, sorry, desk guy, everybody. And it's just kind of nice. And then I also kind of get the acreage, yard and room to grow and play tag with the kids and all that kind of stuff. I don't get the in between. Like, the person that lives in Brooklyn pay $8 million. No front yard, no backyard. But also no desk guy. And no amenities either. Like, this place has an option. I think it was cat from. I think from Gutfeld that got married in Drew's place. Like up on the.

[Jamie Lissow]

Oh, really?

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, they got. On the 70th floor, they have a whole lookout with the whole guest. You know, big room, conference room, and you can throw parties up there and stuff. And so, like, you got all these amenities, but it's not really home ownership. But it's like living in a luxury. It's like moving into the Ritz Carlton or something.

[Jamie Lissow]

Yeah, I get that. I also, you know how they say, like, people keep up with the Joneses, right? I just make friends with the Joneses. Like, I have friends in Alaska who have all the things that it might be fun to do that. I don't have to have them there. We do live in Boise in a normal, kind of a more normal house also.

[Adam Carolla]

And boys.

[Jamie Lissow]

Yeah. Which, like the sauna thing. We just got a sauna. I would not like to be in the sauna with others. I don't like the fact that there's.

[Adam Carolla]

All these other people in the sauna.

[Jamie Lissow]

In the sauna or in the workout thing. I don't like that.

[Adam Carolla]

It's a weird. It's a. It's a weird thing. There's an eye contact etiquette. You know, there's a towel thing. Now dudes wear swim trunks everywhere, which is weird because dudes used to be nude in those parts. The, you know, steam room, sauna, Jacuzzi.

[Jamie Lissow]

Yep.

[Adam Carolla]

Like at the gym, now dudes are wearing board shorts, which is weirdly gayer than being naked.

[Jamie Lissow]

It is.

[Adam Carolla]

It's weird. It's weird that wearing trunks makes you gayer than just seeing your dick act in its actual.

[Jamie Lissow]

Yeah, it's like you're playing hard to get.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I go to.

[Jamie Lissow]

Do you go. If you like. I go to a sauna place in New York City. Every time I do Gutfeld. I go to the right every single time. And it's a Turkish, Russian sauna. Like, you would not bring a woman there. It's disgusting. If you check the reviews, it's an average of one star. And I love it so much. It's extremely hot, not very well kept, and it has its unisex. But on Wednesdays, I call it Dicks Out. That's when it's men only and I go shorts. I used to go towel until I saw there's been some activity.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, really?

[Jamie Lissow]

I've seen some things.

[Adam Carolla]

Really?

[Jamie Lissow]

I've seen, like almost every time I go.

[Adam Carolla]

Some homosexual things.

[Jamie Lissow]

I've seen some things. I had a guy touching himself and just staring at me.

[Adam Carolla]

Really?

[Jamie Lissow]

Yeah. Which, you know, it feels a little good.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. His eyes are super blue. I'm looking at him. Hold on. So I get something out of my pocket. Might take a minute.

[Jamie Lissow]

But would you go. If it was everybody. If it's. If it's dick's out, would you go shorts or would you go towel?

[Adam Carolla]

Okay, so first things first. I have a good. What I call gym dick. It's not a good dick. It's a good gym dick.

[Jamie Lissow]

It's important to have a good gym dick.

[Adam Carolla]

It looks good just walking around the gym now. Once you get it doesn't change much. You know what I mean? So be a good gym dick. And, you know, you get it into what I call the leather phase. You know, you just kind of get a little blood going. Obviously.

[Jamie Lissow]

Yeah, you gotta make a good showing.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. Here's the thing about everything. Eventually the gays take it over. So there's no such thing as dude's night and dick's night without at some point some dudes showing up and using it for their pleasure, by the way. I mean, you have to think about being gay and gay guys. I've had plenty of gay friends, and they'll always do the. Oh, man, must be great for you to go walk into the locker room after at the Ballys or the 24 Hour Fitness, and there's a bunch of naked dudes in the shower, and they always go, oh, please, don't flatter yourself. We don't care. And it's like you have gay porn magazines at your house. You're looking at gay erotica, and you're a dude, so you wouldn't like to see a naked dude because you have magazines with pictures of naked dudes.

[Jamie Lissow]

It's one level up from that.

[Adam Carolla]

This is better than that. And listen, if I could walk into the ladies locker room, then I would walk into the ladies locker room, and as a heterosexual guy, I would enjoy it. So don't sell me the shit that you're not interested in this. Why would you believe that?

[Jamie Lissow]

Yeah, and when you say getting blood into it, I'm such a positive thinker that when the guy first. The first time I saw. When he started touching himself, I go, oh, he's just trying to. You know, he's trying to make a good showing. But then it was so. It was so. It was so long. And then when he blew me a kiss, I go, this is more than that.

[Adam Carolla]

He blew your kiss?

[Jamie Lissow]

Yeah, he. It was. I swear to God, this happened. It's not the first time it's happened. Happens almost every time. And I have to go on that.

[Adam Carolla]

To be fair to him. I mean, you look. You know, you take care of yourself, Jamie. You look good in a towel, I would imagine. And so you have a nice physique, and you could be mistaken for gay because you have very caring eyes.

[Jamie Lissow]

I appreciate that. I can see a compliment there.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, yeah. Look, you have a nice torso and caring blue eyes, and I could see them mistaking you for. For one of their own. Number one. Number two, I don't know. Like, he's looking you. He's assuming you're gay. Because the other thing is, you only go into Wednesday nights, your big cox out night at the Russian Tea Room over there. So he's probably doing the math that this guy's wife's not in the car. He's come out on dick night.

[Jamie Lissow]

It's dick night.

[Adam Carolla]

It's dick night. So he's here with his caring eyes and his great upper body, and I think we got a love connection here.

[Jamie Lissow]

And there were a lot of guys in there. And he did choose me.

[Adam Carolla]

He chose you, right. Listen, look, gays are very aesthetically inclined. You know what I mean? They're not like women. Women will be with Woody Allen as long as he's got a good personality or a good bank account or funny or whatever. That's not. You know, Henry Kissinger always had a hot babe. You know what I mean? They're not that way straight, dude. Gay dudes are aesthetic. It's all about the look, because they're dudes, so they want the male equivalent to the hot blonde. But they're gay, right? So that's you. So, I mean, that's a tip of the cap. You got to appreciate that.

[Jamie Lissow]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

And now when he's looking at you, are you guys just sitting in the sauna or the steam room?

[Jamie Lissow]

Where are you? We were in. Yeah, it was a sauna. It was a sauna. But it was a little bit of a hybrid. A little bit of steam in there. You can still see, though. I can't believe I'm even going to tell you this, but Erica knows the story. My wife is here very well. I got. When I first went there, they come in and they go, do you want a massage? Do you want to get hit with the leaves? It's one of those places where they do. And I said yes to the massage. And I think I could have called the police after what happened.

[Adam Carolla]

Really?

[Jamie Lissow]

Yeah. They had me flip on my back. There's no blanket. You know, when you go get a massage, they cover you up all whatever. It was like the closest, I think I ever came to having some sort of experience.

[Adam Carolla]

Was it a woman?

[Jamie Lissow]

No, it was a guy.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, really?

[Jamie Lissow]

Yeah. I wouldn't even be telling the story if it was a woman.

[Adam Carolla]

It would have been the closest. Well, you did come. No, so. And look, these guys kind of kick it old school. Like, I. I get it. And I. I like that. I. I don't. I don't like the highfalutin place, you know, the Burke Williams place. I like the Thai place where they, like, walk on your back and get up on that kind of. And I. And the leaves. I don't know Eucalyptus. I don't know what leaves they're hitting you with. I don't know, I. I kind of. I kind of like it. But I think if you go out on, you know, in the middle of Cocktober and you're gonna, there's gonna be. It's gonna attract a crowd that you. And they're gonna get a mixed message from you. So you're sitting in this sauna with a little steam, and this guy's got the towel on.

[Jamie Lissow]

He has no towel.

[Adam Carolla]

No towel.

[Jamie Lissow]

Mm. Mm.

[Adam Carolla]

And he's just looking at you.

[Jamie Lissow]

Yep.

[Adam Carolla]

And his hand is sort of. He's self fluffing.

[Jamie Lissow]

He was fluffing. And I saw him kind of, Kind of looking around at everybody. I saw the moment he chose me. Yeah. He stopped right on me.

[Adam Carolla]

You're right, though.

[Jamie Lissow]

There is an element of. As uncomfortable maybe as you are, you can't help but feel a little bit of complimented.

[Adam Carolla]

I'd say that too. I would make a horrible rape victim. I'd be like, well, you know, I take care of myself.

[Jamie Lissow]

You're a people pleaser.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. Was jogging and the street lights were on and I may have to own some of that. Yeah. So you can go back there, but just not on Wednesday now or. What's your policy?

[Jamie Lissow]

I still go.

[Adam Carolla]

Where is it? I just did. Gutfeld. I wish I'd known about this.

[Jamie Lissow]

You would absolutely love it. Besides the gay activity, it is amazing. It's on 14th and 1st, so you can take a couple trains right there.

[Adam Carolla]

What's it cost?

[Jamie Lissow]

It's like I buy a big package, but I would say it's about 50, 60 bucks per visit.

[Adam Carolla]

Mm. Oh, and you get. You probably shouldn't go in there and talk about how big your package is.

[Jamie Lissow]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

Then they send the wrong message to the fella.

[Jamie Lissow]

Yeah, there's like a range of. I think it's like 40 bucks if you want him to blow the kiss and touch his dick. It's 60, but it's between 40 and.

[Adam Carolla]

60 and you get like the 50 minute massage and then access to the steam and all that stuff.

[Jamie Lissow]

Cold plunge.

[Adam Carolla]

Cold plunge.

[Jamie Lissow]

Big cold plunge.

[Adam Carolla]

Nice. I like the cold plunge. Yeah, cold plunge is not good for the gym, Dick.

[Jamie Lissow]

Not good, though.

[Adam Carolla]

I gotta tell you, it really flies in the face of the gym dick.

[Jamie Lissow]

It does.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah.

[Jamie Lissow]

If I'm cold plunging, I'm wearing the board shorts.

[Adam Carolla]

You know, it's really a place that's pretty much comprised of things that grow your dick and things that shrink your dick. It's not a sort of in between Dick kind of establishment now like a hardware store that's just basic dick stuff, sporting goods. But this is stuff that actually helps in the dick department and then hurts very dramatically in the dick department.

[Jamie Lissow]

Just dick extremes. Yeah, yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

So you go there whenever. How often do you do Gutfeld?

[Jamie Lissow]

I do it about once a week and at least three times a month.

[Adam Carolla]

I see on there a lot.

[Jamie Lissow]

Yeah, yeah. It's just so far from Alaska. But I try to do. It's the favorite part of my job. And of course everyone's. It helps you with the ticket sales and stuff.

[Adam Carolla]

And I.

[Jamie Lissow]

If I possibly can, I do it four times a month. Unless I'm just way too busy.

[Adam Carolla]

How often? Well, first off, sorry how difficult I've been to Alaska. But I trying to think of how you would get from Alaska to New York.

[Jamie Lissow]

It's just. You go Seattle, three and a half to Seattle, it's about five and a half to New York. And then in New York it's about two hours to get to your hotel. Because I was flying to jfk. That car ride is worse than the flight.

[Adam Carolla]

Yes. So you're three and a half to Seattle. Seattle's five and a half in.

[Jamie Lissow]

Then you got five and a half New York. Yep.

[Adam Carolla]

And then you gotta sit in the car. I mean you're in for 10 hours.

[Jamie Lissow]

Yeah. I leave at 2 in the morning from Fairbanks, Alaska, four hour time change. I get to my hotel at 7 or 8pm so you're given a day.

[Adam Carolla]

Right.

[Jamie Lissow]

You're giving up a day.

[Adam Carolla]

Right. And gut felt great. Right. Like easy, not tense, you know?

[Jamie Lissow]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

Do your. Do your stuff. Get your topics. I don't know when you get your topics. It seemed I get them that day or the day before. I don't know what's your.

[Jamie Lissow]

Because I know you were on there last week, right?

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. Well, I think you and who else was I talking to about this? Maybe it's Drew, Dr. Drew. Oh no, I was talking to Chef Gruel about this. I think there are guys that are on some sort of rotation and they'll pick up the airfare and fly out and put you up and that kind of stuff, which is smart. But you produce on the show and so you become a regular. And then there's catch as catch can. People like me who are just in town for something else type of thing. And it's a kind of a. When I'm in town, I'll try to do it, you know, if the schedule permits. But there are other people that are on a sort of regular rotation. I Guess. Yep.

[Show Announcer]

Yep.

[Adam Carolla]

And it helps with ticket sales.

[Jamie Lissow]

It really does, man. It's. I remember because I used to do Greg Guffel, had a show called Red Eye, and I did it like 50 times. And I don't remember one person ever come to a show going, I saw you on Red Eye, so I see in the morning. And then when he asked me to do the new show, it took like a year for us to even, like, get a date and go down there. I was opening for Rob Schneider that weekend at Vinnie Brand's place, the Stress Factory in New Brunswick. And I remember the club told me 45 people bought tickets for me being on Gutfeld, and I was the opener.

[Adam Carolla]

Wow.

[Jamie Lissow]

And I remember thinking, all right. And I remember calling Greg the next day, like, when the fuck can I come back? How often can I do this?

[Adam Carolla]

Is it just me? And I really like Rob Schneider, but did he used to be douchey? Did I bring this up to you.

[Jamie Lissow]

Before we talked about it?

[Adam Carolla]

I felt like he had some douche in him. I mean, like Jay Moore had some douche in him. Like, there were guys that were, like, a little bit douchey in the past, and they're not. I don't feel that way about them at all now. But I can't remember if it was my recollection now.

[Jamie Lissow]

Yeah, I think he did go through some different phases of his career where maybe there was more. Maybe there was more douche. Maybe it was harder to. But he really. He's a. He's just such a. He's such a cool. I think some of it was getting married. I think people get married, have kids. It sort of settles them down a little bit. He's a great dude. Do you know. Do you ever hang out with Schneider?

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah.

[Jamie Lissow]

When's the last time you think you ran into him?

[Adam Carolla]

We trade text now and again. He's very complimentary. I caught some clip you did on something. Something I called him the other night. It happens to me once in a while. I'll be texting back and forth with someone and then at some point I just call them because I go, why are we doing this? And I talk to him for a while. I saw him. I don't know. I can't figure out. Last night I talked to him semi frequently and we're sort of fans, but ships in the night. Well, I hate dishonesty, and that's why I don't trust most supplements. A lot of them cut corners, skip testing, and don't reveal what's inside. And that's Why? I partnered with Momentous because they are the high trust brand in a low trust category. They're like me. They do things the right way. Not the easy way, the right way. Their whey protein comes from grass fed European cows and their creatine is the purest form. No artificial sweeteners on top of that. Everything is tested for contaminants and verified for label accuracy. It's rare that you can rely on someone. So I feel really good saying Momentous has my trust. Am I right, Dawson?

[Pluto TV Announcer]

At Pluto TV, we're celebrating Black History Month with our free curated collection of black entertainment. No ifs, ands or buts about catch Award winning films like Dreamgirls, Monster's Ball and Selma.

[Adam Carolla]

We must make a massive demonstration.

[Pluto TV Announcer]

Iconic hits like School Days and Set it Off. Plus full seasons of shows like Tyler Perry's Sistas and Power.

[Adam Carolla]

I got you it.

[Pluto TV Announcer]

Star studded, brilliant black entertainment. And it's all three. Just get me good this month and always on Pluto TV stream now. Hey, never.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah.

[Jamie Lissow]

You know, speaking of it is funny how your text. Isn't it funny that texting came after calling? They invented texting.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah.

[Jamie Lissow]

And if it had been the reverse, you'd be like, holy, I can call this guy.

[Adam Carolla]

Right.

[Jamie Lissow]

But texting was like the new.

[Adam Carolla]

I know. And it was, it was also like a Western Union type of technology. Like we were. They would do it like to all ships at sea. Stop. An embargo on the shah. Stop. I don't know. They had to yell stop because I guess they didn't want to say period. I don't know, maybe their wives were nearby or something. But that's how we used to do it. And they'd go, it's an urgent telegram. You've got to get off. It's the same as texting.

[Jamie Lissow]

It is.

[Adam Carolla]

And then we could hear each other's voices. And then we decided that was too intimate.

[Jamie Lissow]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

Or maybe, maybe it's that. Maybe this is it. Everybody is multitasking, but they're not really multitasking. They're just fucking around with something while they're talking to me. But they're not really sort of half talking to you, you know? And when they're half talking to you, you can tell because like a period of time goes by between their answers, and you'll do a couple.

[Jamie Lissow]

Hello?

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, I'm listening. Oh, okay. Well, I just stopped talking for a while. You didn't say anything. Like, they're clearly watching TV with the sound down or they're doing something else with their phone. They can be sussed out when you're talking to them now, but with texting, they can't.

[Jamie Lissow]

Yet you are hitting on. This is. I think it's something from childhood. It's my biggest issue. It is when I'm talking to someone and they're not. I had a buddy of mine, I stopped being friends with him because when I was talking to him, he would play the guitar.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, really?

[Jamie Lissow]

Yeah. And then he would do the thing where I would say something like. I'd go, yeah, man, just did a show and hermos on Saturday night was great. You know, packed out. And then there'd be like this silence. And then he would realize I noticed he wasn't there, and he'd be like, oh, yeah, Saturday comedy, right? He would say, like, two words of what I said, but that's not really listening.

[Adam Carolla]

I. I don't know why. It always reminds me of the story, but when I. When I used to host Loveline, we had this phone screener who was this young girl, kind of made me realize we were heading off a cliff as a society sort of long time ago, long before we think this stuff is new. It goes back a little bit. And I went to the screening room where they screened the phone calls, and the Simpsons was on the TV set that was just playing up there. I probably would opt for just turning the TV off and let them something. And I came.

[Jamie Lissow]

This is during the show.

[Adam Carolla]

It's during a commercial break. And I came around and I go, hey, listen, we've had like four abortion calls in a row. I don't want any more abortion calls. We're gonna have to mix it up a little. It's getting a little morbid. And then at some point, while she's looking at the tv, she just points and goes, that's a good one. And I go, hey, over here. I need you to focus on what I'm doing. She goes, I can watch TV and listen to you at the same time. And I was like, oh, this chick's 22 and makes minimum wage and she's settling my hash. And I was like, we fucking. We. We. We've jumped the shark here as a society.

[Jamie Lissow]

Yeah, I don't think you can multi. I don't think you can watch that TV show and listen to you.

[Adam Carolla]

I will say this. I will say this. I can sort of multitask. I have hypervigilance, and I can do things. But I'll tell you, it's an interesting thing, the kind of a multitask. Like, for instance, I can drive a race car at a very high rate of speed on a track and also simultaneously see what's in my mirrors behind me. Like, what's going on behind me and next to me via mirrors and what's going on in front of me sort of at the same time. But it's hard, and most people can't do it. In race cars, you have big mirrors. It's not a normal mirror. I have a wink mirror. It's like seven mirrors that go all the way across the top, and you can see what people are doing, and they're doing a lot of stuff behind you, trying to do a lot of stuff. And you're like, sort of looking down the track and sort of seeing what's going on in your mirrors that are offset, but you're not turning your head. You're just seeing it. And I've noticed it's a kind of a skill to kind of, you know, be up on stage. How many times have you been up on stage? I just had this thought the other night. Like, I was right in the middle of a joke and I was thinking about another, and I was trying to go, did I miss that joke? Or maybe I'll do that joke next.

[Jamie Lissow]

But you're still.

[Adam Carolla]

I'm 100% in this joke with a. This joke's on deck. It's coming next. Or. I think this crowd would enjoy this joke over here. And I'm literally going through it while the words of the other jokes are coming out of my mouth. Right. Well, that's kind of a training, you know, that's kind of a thing. And most people don't really train that way. They just. They just talk on the phone and look at something on the computer and immediately fade out. And you can suss them out immediately they stop answering. They'll say, you go, what time is it? Huh? I agree. And when you do, the thing that's interesting is when you do race car driving, at least it works on inexperienced people. But if you go to, like, a driving school or something and the people are inexperienced and you're going to go do track time and you need to. You want to pass somebody, all you do is fill up their mirror for half a lap, sometimes a quarter lap. Like, you literally just get on Them and you just stay on them. And I swear to God, the next corner, you just see them go off because they're staring, they're in the mirror, they're looking at you. And they will miss the apex, they'll miss the braking zone, they'll miss the turnout, whatever. They immediately form, gone, miss their braking spot, hang a tire in the dirt. Like, they start fucking up fast, and all you do is just fill their mirror. You don't have to pass them. You just hang out. And if they're green, they'll make a mistake. If they're professional, doesn't change their driving.

[Jamie Lissow]

Interesting.

[Adam Carolla]

But they see you and they'll block you and stuff. You slide over. They'll slide over, but they're still driving the line. So they are multitasking. They're driving a fast race and watching you behind them while looking forward. So I think you can kind of train on it.

[Jamie Lissow]

I think so.

[Adam Carolla]

And I can kind of sort of pull it off. I'm not going to be as good as if you just was just me and you and that sauna. Right. You know what I mean? Eye to eye. You know what I mean?

[Jamie Lissow]

It's only one task to do that, tip to tip.

[Adam Carolla]

But, yeah, most people can't do it. I've also found, I think women think they can do it, but they can't do it.

[Jamie Lissow]

A lot of people think they can. They think they're pulling it off. Yes, my friend, the same guy. Because it really bothers me more than anything that I could list. It's my number one. I remember when he was playing guitar, I started talking about progressively more and more serious topics because I go, man, my dad. When my dad died, I. I just. To try to get him to. To listen.

[Adam Carolla]

Felice Navidad. You like Jose? Did your dad like Jose Feliciano? Sorry, go ahead.

[Jamie Lissow]

But he really did give me, like. He just missed completely, you know, his.

[Adam Carolla]

Dad died, Clapton, I think, when he was young. Anyway, I'm listening. Go ahead. Yeah.

[Jamie Lissow]

Busted him hard. I think he actually went like, cool, cool. And I go, what's cool?

[Adam Carolla]

Right, Right.

[Jamie Lissow]

That was the end of our.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, stop talking. Yeah, you're right. You know, sadly, Dr. Drew will do that.

[Jamie Lissow]

Oh, yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, yeah. I think I broke him. I think I broke him.

[Jamie Lissow]

What do you think he's doing when he's talking? What do you think he's being distracted.

[Adam Carolla]

With the guy in the Sonic. Come on, you know what he's doing. No, I mean, Dawson knows. You can just once in a while, we would do the show and he'd be rem. And then he'd all of a sudden just get a lot of like, yeah, okay. Yeah, okay. Like after 30 seconds I just go, drew, I don't. Whatever it is you're reading. I've seen him looking at his phone stops into something else. Stop. And he just, he gives sound answers that you do. Like, it's basically the sonic equivalent to you reading the sports page and your 4 year old with like blocks on the carpet going, daddy, I made a gas station. There you go, there you go. You know what I mean? But you don't ever move the newspaper, you know what I mean? And you kind of do it with the four year old, you know?

[Jamie Lissow]

I love that picture. He did great. Yeah, it's a great drawing.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, it's great. Yeah. Yeah. So Drew does it. I guess everyone does it, but people don't know. It's sonically very obvious that they're doing it. It is.

[Jamie Lissow]

I think a lot of people think they're getting away with it.

[Adam Carolla]

Uh huh. Now, was this guy, was he one of those guitar comedians who was just used to strumming while he was talking?

[Jamie Lissow]

I feel like the level of listening, I feel like he was learning a song.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, really?

[Jamie Lissow]

I don't even think it was strumming. I felt like his attention was fully on and he's been strumming this guitar. He's never. I don't think he's learned a song yet.

[Adam Carolla]

Really?

[Jamie Lissow]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

You know, it is kind of weird whenever musicians like Dawson, we're playing that super blowhardy Bruce Springsteen, oh my God, the other day, I know Bruce came.

[Jamie Lissow]

Out with that song and he goes, yeah, I wrote it on a Saturday, I recorded it on Sunday, and I released it on Monday. It's like, yeah, no shit. Yeah, that's what it sounds like.

[Adam Carolla]

It sounded like he did it all on Saturday. But all right, now there's the song Bruce, who turned out to be a blow hard sad. Him and De Niro were the two guys who, like, if you said to me when I was 25, who would you like to have dinner with the most? That'd be like Robert De Niro and Bruce Springsteen. And now I'd be like, it's so sad. I'd rather go text with Rob Schneider. Yeah, he wrote the song, which is stupid, but also he had his speech in front of his crowd where he sat down and talked about oppression and government and stuff, those things. But they always have the guy playing the piano in the background and they'll do it with the guitar Stuff like, they don't have the confidence to just go, I'm going to just deliver this dry speech. Instead. I'm going to have the guy tickling the ivories. Do we have his speech up there, Dawson? I'm going to have that in the background, by the way. I wish someone would do that when I spoke.

[Jamie Lissow]

That'd be so nice. Do you ever hear the morning DJ that plays, like the dance music behind him? It's the same thing. They don't have enough to say.

[Adam Carolla]

Right.

[Jamie Lissow]

They gotta say a behind, a trek.

[Adam Carolla]

Right, right. Yeah. And I guess, you know, you score movies for that reason. I'm trying to think. And you do needle drops, they call, you know, playing those great songs. Yeah. This was Springsteen. I think we played it a couple of weeks ago. And he was giving a patriotic speech, which pretty much sounded like everything his side did during COVID Almost all their speeches sound like shit their guys were doing four years ago to me. But it struck me the guy's got his piano player in the background. But it also. I wonder how much they work out with the keyboardists. Like, he goes, I'm going to give a super blowhardy speech so the band can rest in the middle of the show about the government. I need something like, uplifting, but ominous. Or does the guy tell him what to play?

[Jamie Lissow]

That's a great question.

[Adam Carolla]

And is he. And they're never playing a song. Like, it's not like, it's like an accompaniment. It's an accompaniment, but you can't recognize it. Otherwise it would draw focus. Right. So it's not like, well, I'm playing a peppy Scott Joplin number. The entertainer. Da da da da da, da da da. You know, they must. It has to be appropriate. And it has to sort of. It's got a. Got a little bit of black church to it. You know what I mean? Like, don't play an Elton John song, but play something that would go along.

[Rudy Pavich]

Yeah.

[Jamie Lissow]

Give me something jazzy and hypocritical.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. All right, now that thing's gotta be sitting around on the Internet, right? It's just gotta be sitting there was his last speech. I think he had the piano. And I think he was also reading off a teleprompter as well, which is kind of weird, too. And also, I don't know, call me old fashioned, but maybe people just want to hear the hits and get back out.

[Jamie Lissow]

I don't want to hear what anybody. Even Dave Matthews was my college guy. Like, I loved him. I didn't listen to him. Much after that. But some of the stuff he says, you go, man, I wish he had just, just. I wish he just kept that to himself.

[Adam Carolla]

He just should shut up and dribble. Yeah. Now, I wasn't a fan coming up, but when I learned that he emptied the sewage tank of his tour bus on top of tourists, open, open sightseeing, a boat in Chicago, I immediately became a fan. After that, I was like, I like the cut of this guy's chin.

[Jamie Lissow]

For the last 10 years, he's also been dumping into our ears.

[Adam Carolla]

That's true. I don't know what happened when did. All right, anyway, that clip, it's kind of. I don't know how the Internet works.

[Jamie Lissow]

I wish there was music behind you, right?

[Adam Carolla]

Or does he take it? Does he scrub it?

[Jamie Lissow]

I wish there's music behind you asking for the clip.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, but you don't have to go through my likes. It's just on the Internet, right? No. Oh, just the latest one. The last one where it's just. Or anyone. Well, it doesn't matter. It can be anyone. Where the. I think the latest one they put up there will work, right? I think it's always the same speech. I mean, it can't be from 10 years ago because it can't be pre Trump. But yeah, you don't have to go through my likes. I think it's just on the Internet. Oh, all right, we'll play this one. The one I'm talking about. He's sitting on the edge of the stage reading the prompter. That's the one you're looking for. Well, listen to this one. That's it.

[Bruce Springsteen (clip)]

If you believe in the power of the law and that no one stands.

[Jamie Lissow]

Above it.

[Bruce Springsteen (clip)]

If you stand against heavily armed, masked federal troops invading an American city.

[Jamie Lissow]

I thought we were supposed to wear masks. I thought they wanted masks.

[Adam Carolla]

I thought they wanted masks against our fellow citizens.

[Bruce Springsteen (clip)]

If you believe, you don't. You don't deserve to be murdered for exercising your American right to protest.

[Adam Carolla]

Got the black guy with the fist in the background to this president.

[Bruce Springsteen (clip)]

And as the mayor of that city has said, I should get the fuck out of Minneapolis.

[Adam Carolla]

It's weird that he turned out to be kind of a simpleton dope.

[Jamie Lissow]

It is sad.

[Adam Carolla]

Sad, yeah. But I feel vindication. Cuz I told everybody years and years ago, I said, secretly, I think he's a dope. He doesn't give interviews. And I said the exact same thing about De Niro. I said, I think these guys are. They're basically idiot savants that can do One thing really well. And so we think that gives them some sort of universal power, but they're really simpleton dopes. Yeah. Well, anyway, Andrew sitting with the piano. I'm still looking for that. He was sitting at the edge of the stage. Recent. And he was clearly reading a prompter. And the guy's playing behind him. Maybe your friend was just doing that on the acoustic guitar. You were telling about the death of your dad and he was trying to add a little melancholy to it. You know what I mean?

[Jamie Lissow]

Maybe I read it totally wrong.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, you read it wrong. When they do those commercials about pet adoption, they play the super sad Eyes of the Angels songs, right? Trying to give it a little more gravitas.

[Jamie Lissow]

Maybe that's what he was doing.

[Adam Carolla]

Maybe he got out the acoustic because he's hearing this tale about your dad passing and thought, let's see if we can sort of dress this set up a little. It's a little bare. You're a little monotone in your speech. You know, you're right. He was at my lair. You owe him an apology, bro.

[Jamie Lissow]

Yeah, he was just adding some layers to my boring story.

[Adam Carolla]

Mm. God, the Internet. Bruce Piano, homes.com Some might say homes.com is the best home shopping site. I would say that. And maybe homes.com's super comprehensive and transparent agent directory. Or Maybe it's that homes.com is the only site that always directly connects you with the listing agent who knows the home the best.

[Jamie Lissow]

We don't have to deal with a lot of stuff in Alaska because actual ice takes care of illegal immigrants.

[Adam Carolla]

Ice does, right?

[Jamie Lissow]

It's easier.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. 50 below.

[Jamie Lissow]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

How long would you last outside at 50 below?

[Jamie Lissow]

I was with my children and my car, I stopped at a light and my car wouldn't start. And it was about, it was about 35 below at the time. This was a few months ago. And we were only about a quarter mile from a big grocery store. And I was worried for everyone's lives. It was so cold and it was probably like a less than 10 minute walk. In Alaska, you're supposed to always have an entire winter gear set up for every single person that's riding in the car. I don't do that. I don't need that. And I was scared. I was really scared. It got so cold so fast.

[Adam Carolla]

Can you not own an electric car in that environment?

[Jamie Lissow]

I don't know one person with an electric car.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah.

[Jamie Lissow]

It's not because of the weather. It's because everyone will call you gay.

[Adam Carolla]

Now you need diesel power there. Right.

[Jamie Lissow]

A lot of trucks.

[Adam Carolla]

A lot of trucks. Right. And so you have to have like a heated garage.

[Jamie Lissow]

Yep.

[Adam Carolla]

Do you do like a remote start type situation?

[Jamie Lissow]

So when I first got divorced, I lived in a two bedroom, one bathroom apartment and I did not have a garage and I did have to. Do you have to plug in your car at night? Little thing that heats up the. You would know better than I probably. The oil pan, it goes on your engine block.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. I mean, I mean it was not a diesel.

[Jamie Lissow]

Not diesel.

[Adam Carolla]

Right. But the antifreeze and the oil and stuff. I don't know if oil freezes, but water will, even with antifreeze in it. I assume when it gets down below a certain level and if it freezes inside the block of your car, it'll crack the block. And as a matter of fact, blocks have weird little knockouts or freeze plugs that'll pop out. So instead of cracking the block, you pop the freeze plug. Pops out. But keeping it plugged in is a good idea.

[Jamie Lissow]

Yeah. So we all have almost everybody has a remote start and plugs the current at night, which comes in super handy if you don't have a garage. But I still have that for you. Go see a movie or something. Your car is going to be, you know, negative 30 degrees when you get in it. So you got to Hit that auto start.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. And like, what do you do? Do you just hit it when you're walking out to the. Leaving the theater? Do you hit it like in the middle, act two?

[Jamie Lissow]

I feel bad for saying this because the environment. I will leave my car started for an entire. If I have the kids with me, I've left it running for an hour.

[Adam Carolla]

Entire movie.

[Jamie Lissow]

If it's super cold outside, I'm worried about it starting.

[Adam Carolla]

Right.

[Jamie Lissow]

I just got on. I should leave it on.

[Adam Carolla]

And there's not a lot of car theft out there, I'm guessing.

[Jamie Lissow]

Not a lot of car theft.

[Adam Carolla]

Right. Obviously.

[Jamie Lissow]

Because you wouldn't know whose car was started with the keys in it because most other people just have a remote started, you know?

[Adam Carolla]

Huh. So your car would be mistaken for a car that just got started and someone's like walking out.

[Jamie Lissow]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

And people pack heat there, right?

[Jamie Lissow]

They do. They allow them pack heat.

[Adam Carolla]

Right. So you got to be careful whose car you steal when people are packing. Right.

[Jamie Lissow]

Yeah, it's. There's. So I think there's a lot of criminals up there.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, yeah.

[Jamie Lissow]

Because I think a lot of people hide out. And I think it's the fear that everyone. It's almost like there's less violence because everyone might have a gun. So less things happen.

[Adam Carolla]

Yes, I agree with that. Yeah. That's why when they put the stupid stickers in front of the school or the library that says gun free zone. That's good news for the one guy with the gun.

[Jamie Lissow]

It's a great place.

[Show Announcer]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

It's always weird when they announce that too. We have no guns. It's good for the guy wants to shoot up to school.

[Jamie Lissow]

You're right. It's like having a no security sign.

[Adam Carolla]

If you. If you announce we have lots of guns, then that person's got to deal with that.

[Jamie Lissow]

It's a very good point. If a sign said everyone has a gun, you're not going in with your gun.

[Adam Carolla]

I would argue that in front of the schools. That should read everyone's gotta gut.

[Jamie Lissow]

Yeah. I even do that when I see a drug free zone. I go, I got drugs. What are you guys talking about?

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. And they weren't free.

[Jamie Lissow]

This sign's totally wrong.

[Adam Carolla]

All right, Bruce, sitting at the edge of the stage, does it exist from two or three weeks ago? I'm mostly obsessed with the Internet. I cannot figure out how the Internet works. I'm looking for it on your likes. The problem is he gives this speech at every concert now. So it gets filmed and then reposted at every Show. Well, is there one? I'm trying the piano. I'm going through your life. Doesn't need to be mine, though. It could be just one or no, because. But you liked it and we played it on the show, so that's why I'm going through your likes. No, I get it. I just don't see us finding it, is what I'm saying. Dawson, what do you think? Bruce? Let's see. What if you type in.

[Show Announcer]

There are a lot of videos of him preaching.

[Adam Carolla]

Go ahead. What if you could have a piano playing? Is what I'm.

[Show Announcer]

I haven't seen a piano yet. I've scanned.

[Adam Carolla]

I haven't seen Bruce at concert sitting on edge of the stage. Let's see if that.

[Show Announcer]

Yeah, this one was the one that we've seen on the news, the one circulating. So it does stand to reason that.

[Adam Carolla]

It should be found. Aha. Yeah. Put sitting on the edge of the stage. Let's see. I'm just curious of cracking the code.

[Jamie Lissow]

Yeah, I'm dying to hear this. And I just got. This is bizarre, but I just got a message that Bruce Springsteen has already written a song about this segment. Really? Yeah, it's already out.

[Adam Carolla]

I think he may have gotten together with your friend who was exiled from your life and probably used him as an inspiration for this song he'd written about us talking about him writing songs and not finding clips of him on the Internet. All right, let's see. We're looking at Bruce. Yeah. So in my world, there's no guitar. I think he's sitting. That's what'll separate it. But either way, we lost all the greats, went crazy. But look, we got Kid Rock.

[Jamie Lissow]

Yep.

[Adam Carolla]

We got Ted Nugent trying to think.

[Jamie Lissow]

Who'S that lady that everybody loves right now that's been saying nice things about Trump? Oh, yeah, I'm blanking.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. Cardi B, maybe Cardi B. Is that Cardi B, or is that the other somebody else? That's Nicki Minaj.

[Jamie Lissow]

Nicki Minaj.

[Adam Carolla]

Nicki Minaj. Yeah. And it's always funny when they always go, they don't even like her music. And, like, that's the whole point. They want her.

[Jamie Lissow]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

They don't care about the music. And by the way, no one knows a Bad Bunny song either, so shut up.

[Jamie Lissow]

Yeah, I was confused at the Bad Bunny thing.

[Adam Carolla]

I was confused, too. I didn't know what it was about, but I've realized everything is just sort of. Oh, and speaking of bands that hate Trump. Green Day. But at least Green Day played before The super bowl and was a band and sounded good. Like, it's like a concert. Here's kind of what I'm saying. I like the notion of a halftime concert, and maybe we should have. Maybe we started saying halftime show, and that's what got ourselves into trouble, maybe, because now it's just an art installation at this point. Like, it's an artistic endeavor. It's not really a concert. I like a concert. Absolutely. So when you started saying show instead of concert, we opened it up to a bunch of performance artists, essentially. But no longer a concert.

[Jamie Lissow]

With all that money they spent on that production. They could have bought everybody earplugs for that halftime show. I actually didn't watch the Super Bowl.

[Adam Carolla]

I will. Hold on. I will address that in a second. Dawson, I will now put you on another hunt because we cannot find that Bruce Springsteen thing. But maybe he scrubbed it. I don't know. Nothing. Him sitting in black. All right, the next one is. Did they always call it the halftime show, or did they. No, I found it. I just had to scrub through your likes because it's buried in there. No, I know, but then what about the. I thought the Internet would just have. Shit. The search algorithm doesn't work like that. Hold on, Let me throw it in.

[Jamie Lissow]

Okay.

[Adam Carolla]

All right. Do you think they used to call it the halftime concert, or was it always the halftime show? That was a concert that turned into a show and not a concert? Because Bad Bunny was not a concert. That was just a sort of artistic endeavor. I guess what it was. Right.

[Jamie Lissow]

I think it was always called a halftime show. But they just recently started taking it literally.

[Adam Carolla]

It basically. Look, I'd had a couple of pops. It looked to me like a extended Modelo beer commercial. That's. That's all I could. That's all I thought was. I was waiting at some point for him to hold a Modelo up with the guy dressed as a cactus. You know what I mean? But not sip off it. Just hold it up, you know.

[Rudy Pavich]

I.

[Adam Carolla]

Was, like, waiting for that theme. That's all it looked like to me.

[Jamie Lissow]

It was a lot of commercial, obscure product placement. Just real small places.

[Adam Carolla]

All right, sorry. Now. Now, here's Bruce tinkling on the piano.

[Bruce Springsteen (clip)]

Some very weird, strange, and dangerous shit going on out there right now.

[Adam Carolla]

Little gospel in America.

[Bruce Springsteen (clip)]

They are persecuting people for using their right to free speech and voicing their dissent.

[Adam Carolla]

All right, hold on. Hold on one second. It had to be devastating for the keyboard player because there's, like, 14 guys in the band, and they go, listen, Somewhere around the middle of the set, right after Born to Run, Bruce is going to give one of his super fucking long winded, condescending speeches to the audience. We're gonna go to the back and do a couple of bumps of blow and maybe, if we're lucky, get a blowjob from a groupie. Oh, and the piano player's like, oh, that sounds good. And they're like, oh, no, hold on. He needs you out there. Yeah.

[Jamie Lissow]

They're trying to convince him it's an honor. Like, dude, no one's better at supporting bullshit with music.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, we're gonna go backstage and eat for a while and maybe do a couple of rails and maybe bang a couple of groupies. But you got to stay out on stage and play something inspirational and positive, but also ominous. And do not take over what the Boss is saying. He needs you in the background. And I don't know what that. We'll play a little more. See the keyboards. What's it sound like to you? So the little inspirational, little ominous, Right?

[Bruce Springsteen (clip)]

They are persecuting people for using their right to free speech and voicing their dissent.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah.

[Bruce Springsteen (clip)]

Like America, the richest men are taking satisfaction and abandoning the world's poorest children to sickness and death. This is happening now in my country. They're taking sadistic pleasure in the pain that they inflict on loyal American workers.

[Adam Carolla]

They hate people.

[Bruce Springsteen (clip)]

They're rolling back historic civil rights legislation.

[Adam Carolla]

They hate black people.

[Bruce Springsteen (clip)]

That led to a more just and plural society. They're abandoning our great allies.

[Jamie Lissow]

This is no one's favorite Bruce Springsteen song.

[Bruce Springsteen (clip)]

And siding with dictators against those struggling for their. Their freedom. They're defunding American universities.

[Adam Carolla]

All right, this is. This is Beer Run. It used to be. It used to be. Here's something from the new album, and now it's like, I'm gonna get up on my high horse and get preachy about Trump for 10 minutes and you're going, all right, let's get a beer.

[Jamie Lissow]

It's just, I think it is an abuse of power. Almost like when a talk show host starts trying to convince people of something and not being funny. Almost like on one of the late shows of Power. I think people buy tickets to hear the music.

[Adam Carolla]

It's like, you know what I would call it? I would say it's like a dereliction of a fiduciary duty in that, like, abuse of power is a little heavy handed, but it's basically like, look, we had an agreement, and the agreement was I was gonna pay 700 bucks for tickets and forget about my worries for three hours. And you were gonna perform your ass off and we're gonna have a good time and we wouldn't have to think about ice or Trump or Minneapolis or whatever this was. And. Or I was gonna have the fantasy that you thought like I thought or that I didn't even know how you thought. And this is basically, you know what it's essentially like. You get a prostitute and then you get to the room and she's like, I've had a couple abortions and I was molested by my stepfather. And you're like, you know what? I didn't sign up.

[Jamie Lissow]

I want you and your piano player to get out of here right now.

[Adam Carolla]

That's right. Take the guy playing the keyboards and you leave. I know it took you hours to set up, and maybe I should have said something so that could. I'll take partial responsibility for this, but I would just like the fantasy that you were working your way through college and tonight was your first gig as a prostitute and I was the first John you've ever been with. And you just tell me how a guy who looks like I look doesn't need your professional services. I can find it for free. And that's it. I don't want to hear about all this for just this evening. That's what I want to do. And Bruce, you whore. You say nothing and play your fucking hits. And I'm going to drink these modelas and think about Bad Bunny and we're just going to get on with it. But you won't do that. You gotta preach.

[Jamie Lissow]

What's also bothersome is that he's speaking as if every single person agrees with him.

[Adam Carolla]

Right?

[Jamie Lissow]

It's not like, oh, I think this. It's like this is what's happening.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, not only is he speaking like everyone agrees with him, but he's not even fucking accurate, you know, I mean, their portrayal of kicking open doors and taking Americans and disappearing them and destroying people's civil liberties and stuff, that's not even an accurate depiction of what's going on. So you're gonna get up there with your CNN bullshit talking points, which if a person's got a brain, cells that rub together may not agree with you. And that's gonna be, look, I'll put it to you this way. In one of these big arenas that he's playing that has 25,000 people in it, it's not gonna be half that disagree with you, but it could be 5,000 people. Sure. I mean, you could have 300 people in that Whole famous and that whole group whose family's in military, law enforcement, ice. You know what I mean? Like, why are you pissing off 5,000 people?

[Jamie Lissow]

Yeah, you should have to do it at the end. It should be during the check drop.

[Adam Carolla]

Right.

[Jamie Lissow]

You know, so people could leave if they want to.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, we'll do it at the end.

[Jamie Lissow]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

And it'll be optional whether you want to sit in on this blowhardism or not.

[Jamie Lissow]

By the way, that the whole thing, the whole Minneapolis thing and the Somali daycares, that's the only kind of daycare I would have worked at.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, me too.

[Jamie Lissow]

With no kids.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Jamie Lissow]

No one talks about all the dream jobs that were lost.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, yeah. That do nothing. Hang out.

[Jamie Lissow]

No kids.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, man. Janitor at a daycare center with no kids. You're like the Maytag repairman. Sitting around all day talking to your friend, playing the guitar.

[Jamie Lissow]

Sweet gig.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, that is sweet. Do nothing gig. I do. I do. That used to be. For me and my poor friends, when we were growing up, the pinnacle of a career was getting paid to do nothing. We never thought about doing something or creating anything. The whole gig was you're just basically a night watchman at a place that never gets broken into, and you just get to sit there. My dreamiest job was stand in on the movie Judgment Night. Because at the time, my job was carpenter and boxing coach. And when you're a carpenter, it's like you got to show up and unload the truck and haul the drywall in and set it up and then go. You're just. You're. All you're doing is literally just working. There is no, like, you can say, well, people around here are working, too, but these guys are sitting in the next room looking at their phone, sitting down right now. This is just literally work. Just on your feet working. And then I got a job doing stand in. And stand in work was like, you weren't working. You were just hanging out waiting for them to call you.

[Jamie Lissow]

And there's, like, snacks and stuff, Eating.

[Adam Carolla]

Granola bars, fashioning, like, a little bed. Like, taking your jacket and rolling it up and putting it under the snack table and stuff with the duvetyne hanging down and getting some free granola bars and yogurt and stuff. And then telling one of the other actors, like, look, when they call us, just come get me. Just come wake me up, okay? And you're just laying there. And I could remember, like, going home going, this is the greatest job ever, because I don't have to do. There's Nothing to do.

[Jamie Lissow]

And then they put you in to check the lights and camera, right?

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. And then when they do need you, you just stand there. It's called standing.

[Jamie Lissow]

Even when you're actually.

[Adam Carolla]

When you're working, it's essentially like being paid to wait for a bus that never arrives. Just making good money waiting for a bus that never left the station.

[Jamie Lissow]

Who are you standing for?

[Adam Carolla]

I stood in for Robert De Niro. Yeah. No, I stood in.

[Jamie Lissow]

Shit.

[Adam Carolla]

All right, now Andrew's a. He's a movie aficionado. Let's see. Is Emilio Estevez. No. Cuba Gooding Jr. No. Stephen Dorff. No. Dennis Leary. No. Jeremy Piven. No. I don't. Well, you're skipping some at the top, though. Let's see. Oh, there's. Oh, black guys. Yeah. Peter Green died recently. No, but one of the bad guys. Everlast musician. No. Michael Weissman. That's who I stood in for. Michael Weissman. He was shorter than me and had long hair. And I looked nothing like this guy who was short and had long hair.

[Jamie Lissow]

That's usually a couple of the requirements. Is it you?

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. It was like, if you find a picture of this guy from Judgment Night, you'll see a dude with long hair. And it was a funny thing because my buddy. My buddy Robbie got me the job, and it was clear that I was not a good. Stand in for this guy with the long. With the long hair. Try to find a picture you can. I was. Yeah, he's in the back of this picture. You just had the picture, Andrew.

[Jamie Lissow]

I think standing is a better job than extra.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, yeah, this is good. There's nothing. You can pick your nose all you want. He's the guy in the back with the long hair who's shorter than I am, and I have none of the same physical attributes that he has, including long hair, which is how they light you for your. A lot of it's your hair. So the guy who stood in for Dennis Leary look dead nuts like Dennis Leary. Blonde hair, same haircut. I think the guys get their haircut to match the haircut of the guy they're standing in for. Everybody stood in for. Everybody looked exactly like their guy, except for me, because I got the job from my buddy who was the second ad, and he just told me, just shut up. You know what I mean? And so I'll never forget it. The very first time, they go, all right, bad guy, second unit, stand in. And we all showed up on, like, an outdoor street corner or whatever, and they were lighting it from the top and the, the ad or no, I'm sorry, the photography. The director of photography, dp. The DP was like a little guy you see in his business. Like okay, you stand over here. Okay, stand over here. And you forget. And like I said, the guy looked like Denis o'. Leary. Looked exactly like Dennis o' Leary and so did everybody. And at some point he turned and he looked at me and he went. And he was like, clearly he was processing it because wait a minute, I don't look anything like this guy and I have short hair and everything. And he just goes, Stand over here, stand over here. And he just kind of moved on. But there was that thing where like the Nazis going, where are your papers? You know, and you go, oh, I left them in my other trunk. And he goes, well, there's like a moment where we just stop. He was going to bust me and throw me off the movie. And once I got past the first one, I was just a stand in for the guy after that. And then after that you have to pray that your guy dies last.

[Jamie Lissow]

Yeah, more days on set.

[Adam Carolla]

Right. More granola bar.

[Jamie Lissow]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

More getting paid to do nothing. And they shoot out of order. So we don't really know when your guy's gonna die, you know. So I was lucky that my guy went almost last.

[Jamie Lissow]

Nice.

[Adam Carolla]

Or outta guys.

[Jamie Lissow]

That's a nice gig. No hair and makeup or did you do hair and makeup?

[Adam Carolla]

I don't. Well, hair, what was I going to do? I didn't have any hair that looked like his hair. No, I don't think we did makeup. I just think we stood around and I don't know, did this guy go on? Andrew doesn't look familiar to you or. This was a big movie and he had a pretty big bad guy role in it. But it didn't. I don't think it really turned out to be much past that.

[Jamie Lissow]

Yeah, his lighting was all wrong.

[Adam Carolla]

The critic said the critics didn't like his lighting so he never worked. They took it out on him.

[Show Announcer]

Wow.

[Adam Carolla]

I was the reason his career fell apart. He was in, let's see some of the other movies. My guy was in the Wicker Man. All right. Robo something, Vegas something. Oh, go back up to the top or something. Let's see. We can figure this out. He was in. Can you read that from there?

[Jamie Lissow]

I can't read any of that.

[Adam Carolla]

Stoned Age. The Stoned age sounds like a pot thing. Huntress. These are looking pre B pretty B movies esque to me. Right?

[Show Announcer]

They are.

[Jamie Lissow]

They're looking a little red Box Black Scorpion.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. Although my IMDb is not any better, so maybe it was both of us. Maybe I hurt my own career with that.

[Jamie Lissow]

Do you think anyone has ever stood in for an actor and then later in their career it switches places? Like, if you did a movie and this guy had nothing going on and he stood in for you, wouldn't that.

[Adam Carolla]

Be the ultimate I had? I got to think of who maybe Dawson can remember. My stand in for the man show became part of the Office.

[Show Announcer]

Oscar Nunez.

[Adam Carolla]

Oscar Nunez?

[Jamie Lissow]

No way. That's crazy.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, Oscar Nunez was my stand in for the man show. By the way, I'm five and a half inches taller than he is and he's Mexican. I have no idea how he got to stand in, but for us, it was a comedy stage show. Like it didn't really matter at the stand. They didn't light him like they light a theatrical show. But yeah, Oscar Nunez, that's wild. Ended up being on the Office. It was pretty good. So then I started standing in for him on the Office.

[Jamie Lissow]

That's wild.

[Adam Carolla]

Turnabout was fair play. You know, he understood. Yeah. And he's on something now. I mean, he's worked pretty.

[Jamie Lissow]

He's great.

[Adam Carolla]

He's great.

[Jamie Lissow]

He's great. He's funny.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, I know. For me, it's kind of weird because I think of him as my standing.

[Jamie Lissow]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

But he's the guy from the Office.

[Jamie Lissow]

He looks nothing like you.

[Adam Carolla]

I mean, I don't, you know, and I don't know if Jimmy Stand in looked anything like him. Black guy, you know, Jimmy was in blackface back then a lot. So I think they. No, I don't know. I don't recall what his guy looked like. You know, he went on to being friends, so that was pretty. No. Yeah. So there's a picture of Oscar looking like me coming up. All right. Super nice guy. I'm six two, he's five ten or something. Again, I think in TV show, basic cable TV shows, they don't really care. They just want a warm body stand to physically stand there. But yeah, when we did Windy City Heat, we made sure that Scary Perry stand in was morbidly obese, which angered. It angered Scary Perry, as I recall. All right, you want to hang out and do some news with us, Jamie?

[Jamie Lissow]

Absolutely.

[Adam Carolla]

All right, we'll take a quick break. We'll get rude in here, and we'll do some news with Jamie right after this. All right. Well, you know, I like construction and a lot of people out there, DIYers doing it for themselves. Not Always working out. I'm looking at some clips coming up of people. Exactly. Have a good time. Okay, then.

[Jamie Lissow]

Okay.

[Adam Carolla]

Cannot make floor joists out of two by fours. And then this guy's trying to take a tree down. Uh. Oh, Going down the ladder. Oh, with another ladder on top of the ladder. The ladder will. Oh, guy put his foot through the ceiling. All right, pause it for a second. Let me explain something, but I've seen it happen way too many times. Your ceiling joists are spread out 16 on center, 24 on center. This guy needs some Morgan and Morgan. But he's gonna have to go after himself because there's no one to blame but him. Here's the deal. You cannot step in between the bays when you're upstairs in the attic, because in between the bays is half inch drywall. That's it. You have to stay on a joist. If you're not on a joist, then your fat ass is just standing on half inch drywall in the bay, and your foot's gonna go through it and maybe more. All right, sorry. Keep it going. This guy has just pulled a plank into his scrotum. This guy looks like. I don't know what this guy's trying to do. This guy getting blown insulation. All right, everyone pause it there. Blown. Oh, wait, keep going. It's going to land on him. Now, that is a blown insulation, and either that or there's a gay squirrel that's been collecting I don't know what in this guy's attic, but it looks like Pink owns Corning insulation. That has been blown up there. And he just took the drywall off and got buried in it again. Another candidate for Morgan and Morgan. These guys would help these guys out, but like I said, I don't know who they're blaming in this case because it's not exactly like there's anyone to blame but themselves. All right, let's check out one more. Do I have one more clip on this? Oh, guys on a ladder goes down. Oh. I always hope the ladder falls on him afterward. Let me tell everybody. Let me tell you something. Let me tell you something about the ladder. The ladder's not your friend. It is not your friend. It's basically the home version of the quad runner. It seems nice. It seems like it's your friend. It will bite you in the ass. Please, everyone, stay off the ladder. Let the pros take over. All right, like I said, these guys should all be calling Morgan and Morgan about now and get some real professional help. Morgan and Morgan. Well, there is a Reason why Tom Brady's got 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 case in Florida, the insurance offered $350,000. Client walked away with 12 million. They've been doing this for 35 years, fighting for the people. That's right. Morgan and Morgan, America's largest injury law firm. For the people, not for the powerful. Am I right, Dawson?

[Show Announcer]

If you're ever injured, you can check out Morgan and Morgan. Their fee is free unless they win. For more information, go to forthepeople.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. It's time to check Adam's voicemail.

[Adam Carolla]

Ace, man, get it on. Adam from Delaware here. Just had a quick question. On your Wikipedia, it says you owned a 1963 Cadillac limousine when you were a very young man. I've been listening for almost 30 years and I've never heard that story. Could you tell us more?

[Show Announcer]

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

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, I could tell you more. When I was about 19, my friend said there's this Cadillac, Elvis type Cadillac stretch limo and it's out around Santa Monica or something, and the guy wants 900 bucks or something and it's in pretty good shape. And so I didn't have any money. He didn't really have any money. But we went in halves on this limo and we got this limo and it was like the Beatles and Elvis Black 63 or whatever era. It was big and cool and like, you'd picture like, what a Cadillac. You know, Cadillacs now are like plastic and they might as well be any Japanese car. Like anything. I mean, Cadillac is nice stuff, but it's not. Back then it was like knobs were thick and metal was thick and stuff moved and had jump seats like in the front of the Cadillac of the stretch part and was a big old behemoth that just burned oil and stuff. And the brakes would go out and stuff like that. But we would go on road trips with it. Like, we'd take it to Palm Springs. We'd take it to Santa Barbara and stuff. And like driving home, like, literally just brakes out, like blowing through stop signs and stuff like crazy. Big was a big beast of a Thing and we'd wrench on it and like, literally, like, jack it up and put it on Jack stands and get under it and do like a brake job in this guy's driveway from. From, like midnight to like 4 in the morning and stuff. At some point we got like a big block engine and it didn't burn oil. It was always. It was always kind of a mess. But it. But it would run and we would, like. If one or the other had a date, the other would, like, dress up as a chauffeur, come pick you up in this Cadillac. There's a picture, Joss, and somewhere from one of my books, but it's in our computer where it's all the dudes just sitting on a lawn of a house that has a Coke sign up on top of it. And the Caddy, I think, is sitting on the. The person's lawn, like, black and white. Everyone's 19, bunch of dudes. Looks like the outsiders or something. And it's in the book. It's been some of my books. But it's in our computer somewhere. And there's a Coca Cola sign that's on this house for some reason. Anyway, it was just a pilot, super heavy, super kind of fun. Would pile in, tons of people, and just go on runs and stuff and have fun with it. But it would, you know, break down a lot. And we had an Elvis plate for it. It said Elvis, but with two E's. And it kept getting stolen because they'd steal the plate and then we'd get a ticket for not having a license plate on it. But it was because it got stolen. And eventually it just got like, too many tickets. But, yeah, we went in. Yeah, there it is. There you go. Oh, it's not black and white. Sorry. It's a color tv. The thing about this picture, first off, the picture's taken from across the street or in the street. That's the bed of my pickup truck. It's a Mazda pickup truck that has what you're looking at hanging out. The bed of my pickup truck was a saw guide and an extension for a roller for painting people's houses. And if you go tight on me, I'm wearing my painter. I'm wearing the pants I painted in, which were completely. Were like cammies. But yeah, the camos that were completely disgusting. Full of paint and wearing my boots. Like, I just got back from work and there's Ray, because Ray would get in his underpants when they would take a picture. Why wouldn't he be in his underpants? You know? Cause we're taking a picture and everything. Yeah. And that's the Cadillac that we had fun in. You know, we didn't have any money and it was just a bunch of dudes, but it was like kind of a good time. And I don't know, you could kind of drink and drive back then, and we'd take road trips and shit and get girls and it was like, fun. But we didn't. I mean, it's the last thing we needed was an uninsured, busted up Cadillac. But, you know, cheap thrills back then, like, we didn't have any money.

[Rudy Pavich]

Yeah, you guys literally look like you're about to go fight the socias in that picture. You weren't kidding when you said the Outsiders.

[Adam Carolla]

I know. That's. That's. Those are the dudes I hung out with.

[Rudy Pavich]

Yeah, cools like limos like that were so much cooler before the 80s.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, yeah, yeah. They got all plastic and weird and boxy and they had like style and flair back then. And. And it had. Yeah, it was cool. This is a Cadillac from the 60s with cool features. And it wasn't any different than, you know, the one, you know, jfk. Well, not a convertible, but I just mean like the president or Elvis or the Beatles would just been in the same car. We just lived in North Hollyw and had one.

[Rudy Pavich]

Did it have the doors that sort of open from the middle, like where they would swing out?

[Adam Carolla]

I don't think there were what they call suicide doors. Although if you go to the picture again, you might be able to see, but no. Or just any 63 Cadillac limo. I don't think they had suicide doors. I'm almost sure suicide doors, they didn't. Yeah, the Lincolns had what they called suicide doors.

[Jamie Lissow]

That doesn't have that homicide sunroof.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, there's the matricide. The matricide wind wings that I always wanted as an option. Yeah, if you go to 63 Caddy, you don't need this picture. But any 63 Caddy limo. Cause we didn't do anything to it. I don't think it had suicide doors. The Lincolns had suicide doors for a short period of time and then they got away from that. But that's what. Like the beginning of Entourage.

[Rudy Pavich]

Sure.

[Adam Carolla]

I mean, it was kind of like that. Like when you see the beginning of Entourage, you go, oh, cool old 60s American car. And they can tool down Sunset Strip in it, and people will look at you and give you a thumbs up and shit. And like, at some point we had a Pervert neighbor who moved out and he left a bunch of dildos and butt plugs and stuff. And then the manager of our apartment building put him in a trash bag and dropped them off at our apartment. Cause it's like, you guys sound like you could use this, you know, and there was like a two foot dildo that ended up mounting to the hood of the Cadillac.

[Jamie Lissow]

He saw that picture, he was like, you guys could use these.

[Rudy Pavich]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

I actually. He lived in the unit below us and he could hear why we needed those dildos because there was something going on upstairs, like all night, every night. And so he just brought us a big bag of dildos and butt plugs and gave it to us. So, yeah, it was, you know, cheap thrills. Simpler times.

[Rudy Pavich]

Ah, so cool. You guys had great cars, man. Cause I don't know, when I grew up in the mid-90s, you know, we had like a 1986 Pontiac Sunfire that held four people with no seatbelts and AM RAC. It was just garbage. It was. You guys.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, I mean, this car was 20 some odd years pre. To whatever date. It was an old 60s car. I mean, you could have bought a 60s car in the 80s or the 90s or whatever. It wasn't like a contemporary, modern.

[Rudy Pavich]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

Vehicle. It was old and it was weird and busted up. But we just, we were kind of mechanically inclined so we could kind of piece it together and get it running. Yeah. Yeah. All right, News.

[Rudy Pavich]

Do some news. All right, let's do it. So the Olympics obviously are going on. You may have seen this in the hours after the winter. Winter Olympics legend Lindsey Vonn broke her leg during a high speed crash. Which we got the video right here. I think we maybe have watched this yesterday. Ace.

[Adam Carolla]

Maybe.

[Rudy Pavich]

I can't remember. But yeah, check out the video because it is.

[Jamie Lissow]

Oof.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, it's a little. That's a great name. Breezy's good too.

[Rudy Pavich]

Johnson. Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

Peekaboo. All right, you can pause it.

[Rudy Pavich]

So she breaks her leg. Now she's getting a lot of backlash. People online talking about that this was very selfish and foolish. You may have heard that just before the Winter Olympics that first they called it a torn acl. Now they're starting to backpedal a little bit and call it a ruptured acl.

[Adam Carolla]

Listen, I've yelled at everybody all the time. This is my story about when they go, those Catholic schoolboys were out chasing those bottlenose dolphins. They weren't chasing them in the water. They can't. You can't. It doesn't work. You swim two miles an hour. They swim 35 miles an hour. You can't annoy dolphins in the open sea. Try as you might, you can't. Even man from Atlantis could not do it.

[Jamie Lissow]

Just run for them to get away.

[Adam Carolla]

People were like, she's out there on a torn acl. I'm like, okay. You're used to seeing guys getting carted off the field, going into surgery the following day, and not being able to walk without crutches for four months. That's not this. And everyone would be like, she tore her. She did something to her knee. But to say she's traveling, if she has a torn acl, as we know it, there is no more skiing for at least a year. So that's not what this is. Five days later, after she tore her eyes, she didn't do what she's saying and what you're hearing, she did because she couldn't walk. Okay, so she damaged her knee.

[Jamie Lissow]

Yeah. And it's her. After all this training and all this time put in, it is up to her too decide that. I don't understand why other people are.

[Adam Carolla]

Takes a spot.

[Pluto TV Announcer]

That's.

[Rudy Pavich]

Yeah. So if she would have had withdrawn, the USA could have nominated another qualified skier for the team. The thing is, if she would have won a gold medal, we all would have been going, that's an American.

[Adam Carolla]

Right?

[Rudy Pavich]

That's an American. Look at that. Tears. Or ACL gets out there, wins the gold. That's an American.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah.

[Jamie Lissow]

So ruptured. Not as bad as torn. Is that what they were saying?

[Rudy Pavich]

Yeah. Well, I could have gone for even partial tears.

[Adam Carolla]

None of us. None of us are orthopedic surgeons, but if you tear your ACL in football, you're done for the season. You do not come back the next week. And so if you tear your ACL as we know it, you cannot participate in a downhill event for a year.

[Jamie Lissow]

And you're right. I just thought of it in terms of balls, and you're absolutely right.

[Show Announcer]

Yeah.

[Jamie Lissow]

I was thinking about it myself. Yeah.

[Rudy Pavich]

You couldn't curl, let alone downhill ski on a torn acl.

[Adam Carolla]

But we did get the gold. Yes.

[Rudy Pavich]

Breezy Johnson got a gold. Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

Right. So you can't get two golds. So someone would have beat Breezy Johnson, or maybe they would have got a silver.

[Jamie Lissow]

Silver.

[Adam Carolla]

But we got the gold. I mean, I think it worked out, wouldn't you say? Yeah, I mean, it's basically this is the kicker missing two extra points, but you won the game.

[Jamie Lissow]

Right.

[Adam Carolla]

And so it's like, man, not A great job, but we got to win, so no harm, no foul.

[Rudy Pavich]

Did the kicker ruptured acl?

[Adam Carolla]

Partially.

[Rudy Pavich]

Partially, yeah.

[Jamie Lissow]

Okay, good.

[Rudy Pavich]

Okay, good, good, good. All right, so moving on. Senator John Fetterman said he expects the Department of Homeland Security to shut down over a partisan funding feud as lawmakers remain deadlocked on key reforms. He broke with Democratic Party leaders on the issue, backing border enforcement and tougher ID laws. Without intervention, DHS funding will expire on Friday after being carved out of a larger government funding package. A shutdown would impact TSA workers and FEMA operations and border security enforcement.

[Adam Carolla]

Fetterman turned out to be the only normal one in that whole group.

[Jamie Lissow]

12.

[Adam Carolla]

He was once voter ID and, like, laws and stuff. It's weird. I don't know. I mean, he had his aneurysm or something and a stroke, and then he couldn't pull the sentences together for a while, and then everyone thought he was wackadoodle. And then he got really sane, like in the last. Just the last several months.

[Jamie Lissow]

Very sensible.

[Adam Carolla]

He's very sensible. I don't know if that's where his. He's in Pennsylvania. Right. I don't know if he's got sort of. That sort of more conservative sort of crew that he's representing or he just. I think he seems very authentic to me. I don't think he's a good liar.

[Jamie Lissow]

I totally agree. He doesn't seem like he's doing anything for politics. He seems like he's just being reasonable. Sure. And I also like the fact that he does, like, the Adams Sandler thing where he wears, like, shorts and a hoodie. He just doesn't care. I feel like that means he's more authentic as well. He's not trying to please anybody.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, I know. I sometimes worry, though, when I go, just anyone who agrees with me, I go, well, that guy's just being sensible and smart. You know what I mean? Because he just agrees with us.

[Jamie Lissow]

That's a really good point.

[Adam Carolla]

But look, I think when it comes to something like voter id, you're either for it or you're fucking lying. And Chuck Schumer has no problem going out there going, this is Jim Crow 2.0, and this is shades of slavery and stuff. Like, Chuck Schumer will. Chuck Schumer's an example of a guy who will say anything at any time, like Nancy Pelosi. Like, they're obviously lying. They don't believe whatever it is. No one's listening to them, but they'll say whatever. And then the other Guys that have like difficulty lying and I would say Fetterman probably does.

[Jamie Lissow]

Yeah. The voter ID thing I think is my one. I don't understand what is the argument against besides your for fraud or.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, I don't know what they. What they do is first they'll just go with some Jim Crow 2.0 thing. Yeah. And which is some sort of blanket thing.

[Jamie Lissow]

Even though 70% of African Americans want Right vote. Right.

[Adam Carolla]

Right. And it was like Joe Biden called it Joe Eagle or something like their Jim Eagle I think was what he called. Which is nuts. But good name for a downhill skier. Jim Eagle.

[Rudy Pavich]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

That's Breezy Johnson. That's Peekaboo street over there. Wow. Quite a club of cool named people.

[Jamie Lissow]

Sounds like something you'd order at the waxing place. Give me the dream Eagle.

[Adam Carolla]

Give me the G Eagle for my wife Shopify. Mm. When I started this podcast, everyone told me I was crazy. I faced a lot of doubt, but I fought through it.

[Pluto TV Announcer]

TV we're celebrating black History Month with our free curated collection of black entertainment. No ifs, ands or buts about catch. Award winning films like Dreamgirls, Monster's Ball and Selma.

[Adam Carolla]

We must make a massive demonstration.

[Pluto TV Announcer]

Iconic hits like School Days and Set It Off. Plus full seasons of shows like Tyler Perry's Sisters and Power. I got you it. Star studded brilliant black entertainment. And it's all free. It's getting good this month and always on Pluto TV stream now pay never.

[Adam Carolla]

So first thing they do is they just call everyone racist. And then eventually people start drilling down and go what are we really talking about? And then at some point when they realize that the whole just sort of black thing isn't really polling well because 70% want it or black want it and so on and so forth. They start going another direction, which is, what about women who took the married name of their husband, but their driver's license has their maiden name on it? And now they're prevented from voting. They start getting into these deep cuts of these machinations of shit that, by the way, it's never really happened. I don't think there's ever a specific example. It's always all these things. No, what it is, is it is possible that somebody held decided to get married on election day and also pick up their ID on election day, but they registered to vote two days earlier than that, and the last name is different, in which case I'm sure they could figure it out.

[Rudy Pavich]

Vote.

[Adam Carolla]

But that's what they're saying now. They're done with black people because America's basically went like, tough shit. But also what I've said is, if you don't have an id, I don't want you voting. Not because you don't have an id, but because you don't participate in our society. You're just gonna vote yourself free. Shit. You're not paying taxes. You're not doing anything. You don't have an id, you're not part of modern society. I don't know why we need your vote. Your vote's gonna cancel out my vote. I create jobs and pay taxes. You do nothing. And I don't believe. Look, I'll put it to you this way. When you drive through LA and you see the freeway sign that says click it or ticket, people are either already wearing their seatbelt or not wearing their seatbelt intentionally. There is zero. You know, they plug it in behind their back.

[Jamie Lissow]

Yes. And plug it in. No, there's zero.

[Adam Carolla]

So out of 200 million eyeballs, zero people go, oh, shit. Yeah, thanks. Thanks for the heads up. All right. Because the dashboard's going off, Right? Okay. So I say zero. I don't think 2% of people are reminded to. Because, you know, you pull out of the driveway, you get down the street, by the time you get onto the freeway, you're. Your dash is already telling you. So nobody's reminded. Zero percent. Okay, so then here's the bigger question then, as it pertains to voter id, what percentage of people want an ID and can't get it? There are people who have an ID and people who intentionally do not want an ID because they're selling shit on the street or not paying taxes or doing whatever bootleg bullshit they're doing. But I would argue There are 0% people who in earnest, would like an ID and can't figure it out. Like, literally just go, I'm 61 and I would like an ID. I formally never had one. I don't even know how you get through society that way. And I don't have a fucking family member who will go. Like, I'll drive you to the bank and we can go the DMV and we'll get you set up with it. Like, who wants an ID that doesn't have an ID? That's literally my question. 20, 10, 26, who? You tell me. Chuck Schumer, who wants an ID and doesn't have one? I will, I will grant you that some people don't have an id. That's because they don't want an id.

[Jamie Lissow]

That's right, that's right. And think about all the things you need. Like, it's just the obvious ones, like you have for driving, for buying alcohol. I was in Indiana and I was told that you needed an ID to watch pornography. I was actually told by my phone that I need an id. Yeah. So you need an ID to live to be.

[Adam Carolla]

That's right, yeah.

[Rudy Pavich]

On different levels. Yeah, absolutely.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. So considering there's no such thing as functioning in this society without an id, why should we be counting the vote of people that don't function in this society?

[Jamie Lissow]

Right.

[Adam Carolla]

And they always look for some weird thing. But also it's kind of a look around. Has anyone ever met anyone who doesn't have an ID?

[Rudy Pavich]

It's next to near impossible. I mean, they have IDs out there that'll even say not for, I think it's not for federal use, meaning you're not allowed to get onto an airplane with it. But as long as you have something at a state level that's a low level, as long as you are a human, they will give you a piece of plastic with your name and address on it.

[Adam Carolla]

Newsom will give out bogus licenses. So these guys can drive 18 wheelers. Like that's how easy it is to get an ID around here. So anyway, it's a non starter that they've been working on for years and years and years. It just took them a long time to finally sort of catch on to black. People think it's insulting when you say they can't get an id. So they've, like I said, they've shifted to women.

[Rudy Pavich]

Now is the, is the porn watching like an endorsement on the id, like a firearm or a motorcycle certificate? You have to take a class on how to watch and then they put on the back of your id like can watch pornography?

[Jamie Lissow]

That's a good question. I don't know.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Jamie Lissow]

I don't know. I think they just. Yeah, you gotta. Or they want to take a picture of your face and then you're like, maybe no porn tonight. Yeah, they.

[Rudy Pavich]

Yeah, they. There's a cop at your door and knocking on it, hey, man, we saw you watching porn with no license.

[Jamie Lissow]

I'm worried about that. There's a camera. When people watch porn on your laptop, there's a camera looking at you. So maybe I'm over, you know, But I'm being too careful. But I take a little piece of black tape. Do you do this? And I put it right over my dick just because.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah.

[Rudy Pavich]

Speaking of, did you see the people that were at the super bowl trying to, like, hot dog vendors and such outside that were getting kicked out? Did you see any of those photos or anything?

[Adam Carolla]

I did not see any of that.

[Rudy Pavich]

There was one small quick video I had seen, and I should have grabbed it, but basically the cops came up to a guy and were like, hey, you gotta keep moving, obviously, but probably an illegal immigrant. And they were like, you gotta keep moving. And there was one lady who was filming it and she yelled out, they're not criminals. I'm like, well, technically, they're on the street selling without a permit or a license, and maybe here illegally. So maybe if you think about it, maybe they are criminals.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, when I went to Sofi a couple years ago, and on the way in, guys were just selling shots of tequila and Ducati beers out of big coolers on the property in front of the cops. The cops were there too. And they're selling shots of tequila and 16 ounce, like, tall boy takati beers. And they're on Sofi property. So, like, we have these women don't. Yes. Okay. Not everyone's an arsonist, but there's still fucking laws. You get parking tickets, they're not criminals. You just get a parking ticket or you get towed or whatever the hell the law is. It's a weird. We're living in a weird time. But selling booze on the street they decided was illegal, by the way. I didn't decide that. That's their rules. I don't mind a world where people sell booze on the street, but if you're gonna sell booze on the street, then I, as a white guy, should be able to sell booze on the street as well, which I would immediately be arrested, I'm sure, in Los Angeles, if I tried that. I always. I never did it, but I always Wanted to go down to Forest Lawn where they sold all the flowers and just open up a stand selling booze and dare the cops to come in and arrest me. Which they would have, but they would have. Tell me why.

[Jamie Lissow]

In New York, they arrest things like that. There are guys on every corner you probably saw that sell, like weed with no license. And some of them sell, it looks like stolen apple stuff. And they walk. The cops walk right past. They don't enforce anything.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, yeah, no, that is another thing. When I did that Newsom interview when I was telling him about that shit, and he was like, these guys trying to make a damn living, trying to feed their damn, you know, doing this Gavin Newsom, tough guy. This guy's out there trying to take care of business or whatever. It's like, listen, you guys need 15 permits for everything. Like, if someone wants to open up a restaurant in Los Angeles, you know how many fucking permits they gotta get for that? So don't give me this bullshit, by the way, open a restaurant without a liquor license and try to sell liquor in it. See what happens in Los Angeles or New York, we're looking at a vid of, oh, this?

[Jamie Lissow]

Yeah.

[Rudy Pavich]

San Francisco. Getting rid of them.

[Adam Carolla]

Okay. It's for the super bowl too.

[Jamie Lissow]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, bad bunny just bought two ghetto dogs.

[Jamie Lissow]

Yeah.

[Rudy Pavich]

There was a street vendor in the super bowl halftime show. Was there not? Didn't he walk up to somebody and get a hot dog or something?

[Adam Carolla]

And not only did he buy a hot dog, he bought some jewelry too, I think. I think a guy was selling stolen watches. All right, okay.

[Rudy Pavich]

All right, well, moving on over to the East Coast. New York Mayor Zohan Zoram Amdani faced backlash Sunday after suggesting that a mentally ill man who was shot after allegedly charging at police officers with a knife deserves mental health treatment instead of criminal prosecution. This came after a 22 year old man was shot by NYPD officers in Queens for allegedly charging them with a large kitchen knife during a mental health episode.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, yeah, he got in trouble too, because he went and visited the guy in the hospital, but didn't visit the cop or some version of that. But here it goes, everyone. All the happy talk. Change or reinforce your initial concerns about.

[Rudy Pavich]

My job as the mayor is to be straightforward with the New Yorkers and also to inform them of updates. And in meeting with the family, in visiting Javes at the hospital, and in viewing this footage, it is clear to me that what Javes needs is mental health training treatment, not criminal prosecution from a district attorney. And we are talking about A family that is enduring the kind of pain that no family should. And an individual that has lived with schizophrenia for many years. And we have known of the need of a department of community safety prior to this moment. This only highlights the urgency of that need and to be able to deliver it for neighbors.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, good fucking luck. And have the community do the policing so this won't happen anymore. Because when the community polices, they don't have a gun. So they just get stabbed by these guys. So that's good. Yeah, it never worked. Whatever their ideas are. Let me explain something. It's been a while. It's my pumpkin shitter theory. You've not heard it, Jamie.

[Jamie Lissow]

I have not.

[Adam Carolla]

The theory goes that if you have a society where you can take Halloween candy and put it in a plastic pumpkin and leave it on the porch and put a sign that says limit yourself to one piece of candy, please. We're out of town. And you have a society where kids go up, take one piece of candy and leave. Then you can have community policing and you can have police safety zone and police safety commission and a community safety commission and injection zones and clean needle exchanges and judgment free injection zones. You can have all that because you have a society that can do it. But we don't have that society. We have a society of what I call pumpkin shitters. That they go in and the very first kid just takes that pumpkin and turns it upside down and takes all the candy for themselves. And then the second person comes in and the kid sees there is no candy inside of the pumpkin and they take a shit inside of the true story. They take a shit inside of the plastic pumpkin, look it up, hand it down, and the third kid shows up and sees the shit in the pumpkin and he throws it through the bay window. And that's the society that we have. That society needs a cop standing on the fucking porch. The honor system is gone. That may work in your little European whatever. Where the clean needle exchange somewhere outside of Denmark works. That's not us. We're pumpkin shitters and we need policing.

[Jamie Lissow]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

And he believes that we can pull. This is what just happened to San Francisco. Like, what if we just had judgment free zones where people would get clean syringes so they could inject with it. Ten minutes later, every fucking business has moved out of town. Shit on the sidewalk and a bunch of people that have been zombified in the middle of the fucking park. Right? Yep. That's what it is. Their plan is community policing. What happens is the murder rate goes up because there's not cops everywhere. So the second they do one of their pie in the sky ideas, it always turns to shit.

[Rudy Pavich]

We had a place in our hometown at our hospital that was called the Fifth Floor. It was like our psych ward. Couldn't call it the psych ward. They called it the Fifth Floor. And then they changed the name and they got rid of some of the, like, mental health officers that we had, and they changed it. It was some sort of, you know, whatever it is, sunny side, whatever name you want to give it. And the amount of incidents and the amount of people that were coming there went through the roof, and they were like, you know what? We're getting rid of the name. We're changing it back. They went back to calling it the Fifth Floor, and guess what? Kind of leveled itself out because people didn't want the stigma of telling people, I got shipped to the fifth Floor. It's sort of like George Carlin's. I bet they would have gotten the care they needed if we would have kept calling it Shell shocked, right?

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, right.

[Rudy Pavich]

They got it. That's what New York needs to do with some of this stuff. Yes, he does need mental health, but maybe a little bit of criminal prosecution or something that can start putting him down that path. It can be a combination of both.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, you know, when dogs bite enough people, they just put them down and people go, it's not a bad dog. He's just scared. And the car backfired. And it's like, well, sorry, it's called a society. He thinks it's a good idea to charge at people with a steak knife. We gotta put them somewhere. And they go, yeah, but he doesn't even know. It's like, okay, so be it. He doesn't know. He doesn't know he pushed someone onto the subway tracks? He doesn't know. Worse, actually. Yeah.

[Jamie Lissow]

Getting hit by the subway doesn't feel any different.

[Adam Carolla]

Right.

[Jamie Lissow]

Based on the intent there.

[Adam Carolla]

Right, right. And they always want to get everyone to help, which is great. They go, these homeless, this homeless population, they need help. They don't need to be incarcerated. And it's like, yeah, okay, sorry, I'm confused about something. But anyway, the point is, we don't get them the help, and it doesn't work. So it's stupid. It doesn't matter. All right, Jamie, let me give you plug here. Live shows everywhere, right?

[Jamie Lissow]
