This one's from February of 2018. Check it out.
Brian Bishop
All right, let's.
Joel McHale
So are you cool? Is it cool that to know that guys are like, I'm going to get this erection going and I'm going to think about Adam Corolla now.
Gina Grad
Oh, wow.
Brian Bishop
Oh, I'm flattered. I'm. I'm flattered by that. Great. I really am.
Giovanni
Performance, right?
Brian Bishop
Yeah. It's better than thinking about baseball.
Joel McHale
Adam, what is your. Your wedding ring made of?
Brian Bishop
I asked that yesterday. I've been asked this a lot. Okay.
Joel McHale
So exciting. Is it, is it, is it a car part?
Giovanni
When it's crystallized Te.
Brian Bishop
I gotta do something about this. I was asked last night by my nanny about this wedding ring. What had happened is this. I had a gold wedding band, and I have a knuckle that has been damaged. And it was like a duck thing.
Giovanni
It looks like a large pea under the skin of your knuckle.
Brian Bishop
And it's. If you throw a peel and hit it, it's so hard, like you're punching. It's rock. I touched it.
Gina Grad
Joel's gonna touch it.
Brian Bishop
Joel may touch the knuckle. It is a rock hard.
Giovanni
You may touch the knuckle.
Brian Bishop
It is a. It is rock. Look at that. It is rock hard. And so if I have a bone, if it's a calcium deposit or something, there's something going on from too much boxing in my youth. So what happens is, if I try to take my wedding ring off to hit the heavy bag, throw some weights around, or bang astray on. What?
Joel McHale
You said bang astray on the road.
Brian Bishop
I said hit a heavy bag.
Giovanni
I said adopt astray.
Brian Bishop
All right, so throw some weights around.
Gina Grad
What did you hear?
Brian Bishop
Pretty much.
Joel McHale
Then you said, I feel like Gina. You heard it. Bang astray on the road.
Brian Bishop
No, I think you must have mistook that with hit the heavy back.
Joel McHale
It's hard to.
Brian Bishop
I just did the two.
Joel McHale
Brian, did you hear him say bang astray on the road?
Giovanni
I heard you say it.
Nate
Yeah.
Gina Grad
I heard you say it three times.
Joel McHale
Why would I be.
Brian Bishop
Well, could you take it back? Because Lynette listens to the show.
Gina Grad
Family shout.
Giovanni
Joel's wife, too.
Joel McHale
No, I mean, look, I. Did you guys hear it?
Brian Bishop
They heard the heavy bag, Right?
Joel McHale
Heavy bag. Throw some weights around.
Brian Bishop
Right?
Joel McHale
Okay. All right, I'm gonna.
Brian Bishop
That's strangely specific, Joel.
Joel McHale
So then if you could just tell it. Why don't we start over? Why don't we just start that over like so when you.
Brian Bishop
Okay, so, okay, so whether I wanted to hit the double ended bag, right. Or do some bench press. Right. Or fuck a groupie, I realized that I needed to take the ring off.
Joel McHale
You just fuck a groupie, right?
Brian Bishop
What?
Giovanni
You just said it. That's weird.
Gina Grad
That's very offensive.
Brian Bishop
I don't know what groupies are as a type of fish.
Joel McHale
Why. Why would I.
Brian Bishop
Okay. I hit. I used to box.
Joel McHale
I. I know.
Brian Bishop
And I hit a double.
Joel McHale
Hammer is one of my favorite romantic comedies ever.
Brian Bishop
I'm. I'm glad you like. I. There's. They have a double ended back.
Joel McHale
Right.
Brian Bishop
You can work on your timing.
Joel McHale
Okay.
Brian Bishop
With that. But you'd want to take your wedding ring off.
Joel McHale
And if you wanted to lift weights with. You can't wear the wedding ring because.
Brian Bishop
Well, no, to pinch against the barbell or. You know what I mean, the belt, right? Or to what? Or to heavy bag. Heavy bag weight, dumbbell.
Joel McHale
To take your. Right, well, to take your ring off you for other things. Such as?
Brian Bishop
Okay, I don't.
Joel McHale
Because I've heard you. I heard you say fuck a groupie. That's what I heard.
Brian Bishop
Oh, Joe. Strike. You got to worry about sometimes what you're thinking ver is what you're saying. You know what I mean?
Joel McHale
I'm gonna. Okay.
Brian Bishop
I feel like. I feel like you're thinking it.
Joel McHale
I'll let you get. I'm so sorry. Okay. Why don't you get through with your thoughts? So you have to take your wedding ring off to do.
Brian Bishop
Just hit a speed bag, right? Sometimes even skip row. Plow a stranger.
Joel McHale
Right?
Brian Bishop
So.
Joel McHale
Okay, you just said plow a stranger. Is that part you said plow a stranger. You heard it right, Gina?
Gina Grad
I said hashtag. Me too. I don't like this language and I'd like you to leave.
Brian Bishop
I said skip row.
Joel McHale
I didn't say it was non cons.
Brian Bishop
I gave you a lot of examples, Joel. I said skip rope. I said speed bag. I said double ended bag. I said heavy bag. I said barbell. And I said dumbbell. Now, if those aren't six enough examples for you, why I have to take my wedding ring off and why you have to stray into this world where.
Joel McHale
Look, I swear, when you play this back.
Brian Bishop
You accuse me of banging Jeanine, a 31 year old, thrice divorced mother of three who I keep an apartment in Seattle. When you come out with those kinds of accusations.
Joel McHale
Wait, you just said 31 year old mother of three who lives in Seattle, you have an apartment for. Her name is Janine.
Brian Bishop
Right? I said dumbbell. I said heavy bag. I said speed bag. I don't even know how you know Jeanine.
Joel McHale
You know this Janine, so you said Janine.
Brian Bishop
You're saying Janine, 31 years old, you know my Janine? That's what I'm saying. So I don't even know what you're talking about.
Joel McHale
Wait, you're. So now you are saying you know Janine?
Brian Bishop
I'm saying you keep saying Janine. And if you keep talking shit about my little girl, I'm gonna go upside your head.
Joel McHale
Little girl? She's a mom of three.
Brian Bishop
Leave my daughter out of this. All I know is you're throwing out random names.
Joel McHale
Your daughter is not named Janine.
Brian Bishop
My daughter's name, Natalia. Right? And don't you evoke her name. You understand? She would not be happy if she heard you bringing up her name.
Joel McHale
Do you got Joel?
Gina Grad
You've always been such a polite guest.
Brian Bishop
Jesus Christ. This is uncomfortable.
Joel McHale
It just seems like every time you ramp into the stuff that you like to do without your wedding ring on, you go, well, this is a practical purpose. I need to box with it. Cause it'll hurt. I need to lift weights, and I need to take it off because you could pinch the skin. And then you say, plow a stranger. You say, this woman that you keep in Seattle named Janine, who's a mother of three. You said those things. Or bang a stray on the road.
Brian Bishop
I don't want to dignify that with an answer, but Janine blows me. So why would I take the ring off? How would that cause any friction?
Joel McHale
Janine blows me. You said it.
Brian Bishop
You are saying Janine blows you. No, I don't know who Janine is.
Joel McHale
You said Janine was your daughter, your little girl.
Brian Bishop
All right, Joel, I'm sorry we started off so well, but you sicken me. You sicken me. You sicken me. I don't.
Joel McHale
I don't know why you guys. Okay, you know what? So you take the ring off.
Brian Bishop
I do. Because I still enjoy the sweet science of boxing and banging. Janine and I go into the gym or the apartment on Queen Mary, and I'm able to perform. Okay. And I wish you'd stop turning this in some sort of salacious direction like, you know, you do with, I don't know, Kevin Hart or Paul Reis or Alison Bray or one of the other guests that may show up on one of your first episodes of Joel McHale show with Joel McHale, which premieres Sunday, February 18th on Netflix. So if we could just kind of move forward and do made up movie. Normally we have a good time when you come into the studio.
Joel McHale
I'm just not gonna talk about you getting blown by Janine, but.
Brian Bishop
Oh, my God, I don't even know who Janine is.
Joel McHale
Okay, okay, you're right.
Brian Bishop
I don't know how you know who she is, and I've never heard that name before. And when I tell her you're talking shit, she's gonna be pissed.
Joel McHale
If you've never heard the name before, how can you tell her?
Brian Bishop
Well, of course I've heard the name Janine. I went to junior high with, like six. Janine.
Gina Grad
It's a real name.
Brian Bishop
Doesn't mean I'm currently plowing them.
Joel McHale
She's going to be pissed.
Giovanni
I think I can Clear this up, you guys. I went back, I look out the tape, and I think I know what Joel heard. Let's.
Brian Bishop
Let's listen.
Giovanni
If he heard, in fact, plow a stranger.
Joel McHale
Plow a stranger.
Giovanni
So you said.
Brian Bishop
You said it. You were the one who said it.
Joel McHale
I was quoting him.
Brian Bishop
And first off, quiet.
Giovanni
Again.
Joel McHale
Plow a stranger.
Brian Bishop
Janine is no stranger. We've had an ongoing affair for seven years. Okay, guys? So please watch the ongoing affair for seven years. Why would you. Why would you make these allocations? My children listen to this podcast.
Gina Grad
His name's on the sign.
Joel McHale
Your daughter, Janine.
Brian Bishop
No, I don't even know who Jeanine is. My daughter's name. Natalia. Thank you. And I'd ask you not to bring her name into this conversation.
Joel McHale
Can you not know Janine when you literally just said that just seconds ago that she's gonna be pissed when she hears about this?
Brian Bishop
My daughter Natalia is gonna be very upset when she hears about what you said about my gal, Jeanine. Okay, I don't even know who Jeanine is. All right? Okay. That's right. And I don't even know her last name. We've agreed not to use last name. So I have no idea what you're saying in my studio right now.
Joel McHale
What you just said. Second. You just mumbled, we've agreed not to use last names.
Brian Bishop
Right. I said he. Okay, please, one more time. Hit the heavy bag.
Joel McHale
Yes.
Brian Bishop
Hit the speed bag. Right. Double ended bag. Okay. Barbells. Right. Dumbbell. Skip rope.
Gina Grad
Right.
Brian Bishop
Yeah.
Giovanni
That's all. I mean, that's what you do in a gym.
Brian Bishop
And take Janine from behind. That's all I can think. That's all I said. You said take Janine from behind. You just said it. I don't know who this person is, and I don't know why you're obsessed with her.
Joel McHale
It's just that you keep saying shit and then you say you haven't said it.
Brian Bishop
And no one. Thank God. I have witnesses. I have witnesses.
Gina Grad
Joel, you're gonna have to check the.
Brian Bishop
Tape and then check yourself.
Joel McHale
Oh, you know what, Brian?
Brian Bishop
Do you have it?
Giovanni
I got a different section.
Joel McHale
He's gonna edit it down and he's.
Brian Bishop
Gonna put my voice in there.
Giovanni
I don't just record, man.
Joel McHale
Janine takes me from behind. That's what you said.
Giovanni
Let's hear it.
Brian Bishop
What you and Janine do is your business. That's.
Joel McHale
I'm quoting.
Brian Bishop
As long as there's another Gene I'm not fucking. What would you. Huh?
Joel McHale
You just said, as long as there's not another Janine I'm not fucking.
Brian Bishop
Okay, Joel, what you and this magical person named Janine do is your business. That's what I'm saying. I don't know. I don't care. Go ahead. Except for this weekend. Go ahead.
Giovanni
Fuck a groupie.
Gina Grad
Oh, my God. Is that what you do on the road?
Giovanni
I see why you would think.
Gina Grad
How unbelievable. I thought you were a nice guy.
Brian Bishop
All right. And steam. Thank you, Joe McCale.
Giovanni
Oh, no, not seeing. Let's keep going.
Brian Bishop
So anyway, my nanny said to me. Your nanny? Your nanny. All right. She said to me, like, I don't need this for my goddamn nanny. She said, last night, okay? So I did a show in Vegas. We did a show at Caesars. When I was done with the show, a guy handed me this O ring, rubber gasket wedding ring, and he said, use this, because your ring won't come off. If you ever want to bang Janine, you have to pull your ring, and it gets caught up on this big. This big calcium deposit of it. It's like. It literally won't come off. And if you want to hit the speed bag or something, you want to take it off. So he handed me this, and I've been wearing it ever since. And everyone always asks what it is, but they make them, like, in black. I think I need one in black. That's what, like, the athletes wear something like the Christian athlet.
Joel McHale
And then I look up o ring, rubber wedding ring that will. They'll.
Brian Bishop
That'll come up, look up, like, workout wedding ring or something. It's for guys who, like, have to practice stuff and, like, don't take the ring on and off.
Giovanni
If you get it in black, you can always, in a pinch, you know, say, oh, my wife just died. I'm in the morning. I need, you know.
Brian Bishop
Or you use it as a cock ring with Janine. Yeah, you get it big enough, you.
Joel McHale
Use it as a cock ring with Janine.
Brian Bishop
Okay. What you and Janine do is your business, Joel. And I don't even know why you would verbalize it. I. You have to hit the heavy bag on it. So here's the thing. Let me ask you this. I don't know if your nanny does this to you, Joel, but I don't need my nanny doing this to me. In the kitchen last night, she's like, so, what is that? I said, it's the wedding ring. She says, why? I said, well, the other one I can't take on and off and stuff, and my knuckles screwed up, so I just wear this one. And then she goes super sarcastically, oh, you scared women are gonna bother you on the road? And I'm like, why is that not a possibility? Bitch, I was in D.C. last week. There are plenty of chicks there. It's a possibility.
Gina Grad
There's tons of people in Lyle.
Brian Bishop
Why are you ruling this out, Jim?
Joel McHale
And you get heckled by. Yes, I get heckled by people that you pay.
Brian Bishop
Yeah, every once in a while we have this routine worked out where I go, now, listen, everybody, I don't like to talk about myself. And she goes.
Giovanni
She'S your Bob Zamuna. All right, that's Adam Cool Show 2261. Coming up next, we have Adam Cool Show 2259. Teresa Strasser, Gina Grad, Brian Bishop. April 2019.

Diederik
Hey, man.
Brian Bishop
Hey. Have we spoken to you before?
Diederik
Yeah, we did. I called him to The Adam and Dr. Drew show a while back.
Brian Bishop
Yeah, in Holland. Damn it. I'm trying to recall what you are. You're a school teacher or do you manufacture something small? I can't remember what you did. What do you do over there?
Diederik
Well, I came up with this app for people with food allergies called Alert. So if you travel to China or something and you're allergic to, like, dairy or peanuts or something, you can use the app to generate a warning message and then it displays it in the language that you choose. So if you travel around and you have food allergies, you can tell people that way, too? Yeah, that you're allergic.
Brian Bishop
That's smart of you. How'd you come onto the show? Why are you listening?
Diederik
Well, I was an exchange student in the US in 2011, and I rented a car there that had SiriusXM and it had Howard Stern. And that's how I kind of got introduced to American radio, which is much better than any radio anywhere, really. And, yeah, from there I discovered podcasts. And eventually I stumbled on to you guys. And, yeah, Adam and Dr. Drew shows, the show I listen to every day when I go to and from work, whether it's on my car and my bicycle. So you got a fan over here in Europe, man.
Brian Bishop
And what about Holland? That should we know. We always hear. We hold those countries up in this country as these sort of beacons of the future. You know, the medical for everyone and college for everybody. How good is it and how applicable would that be to a country like our own?
Diederik
Oh, that's an interesting question. Well, the Netherlands is really great. We do pay a lot of taxes. But I think because the country is so small, it's like a tiny country that has more than 17 million people in it. And, yeah, almost everyone. We've got a very low unemployment, and so things are going well. So because of that, we can afford a good welfare state. I mean, my, like, if you get hit by a car or you get a bad disease and you get into the hospital for like two years, you're never going to have to pay one single cent out of pocket. But I think the only way, because we can. The only way, the only reason we can do that is because we're so small and it's easy to manage. The US Is huge. I'm not sure if our system would work in the U.S. you know, you guys are very different and got different challenges and different, you know, makeup of.
Brian Bishop
Population in a way, bigger problems. I have an argument, like, sort of pro and con. Like, on one hand you go, well, it's like a little taco stand or burger joint that you love, but how much would you love it. If they expanded and they had a place in Indiana and how. Wouldn't. Don't you think it would fall off a little bit or whatever. Whatever it is. On the other hand, there is kind of an in and out version where you very slowly expand and you keep all the whatever. But it's kind of interesting. Like, we knew the guy, Sebastiani's his name, and he came up with Crave Jerky and it's delicious. And he used to come in here. I think he'd come in here, we'd come in on Carcast or whatever and we'd talk about. We'd eat his Crave Jerk and we loved it. And then he sold it to Nestle or Hershey's or whatever it is. And we're just having some, you know, when we fly now, it's ubiquitous and it's everywhere and some big company bought it and blah, blah, blah. And you jump on the mike, brings a sack of the Chipotle, and you jump on the plane and you start chewing into it and it's like a little bit dry. Not what it was, not what it was. And look, I'm not blaming. Look, the person buys it, they got to make money. There's a profit margin. They start going with a little different cut of beef and it starts expanding and the factory gets to be 10 billion square feet and now it's a little dry.
Gina Grad
Yeah, quality is different.
Brian Bishop
There's kind of that. So, yes, I don't think you could take a boutique winery, restaurant or country, you live in a boutique country and go, well, now let's just expand that 50 fold. And it'll never drop off like it probably will because everything does once you, once you do that Dietrich.
Diederik
Yeah, yeah, I agree with that. I mean, if you look at the bigger countries in the European Union, if you look at Italy or even France right now, I mean, they're, you know, they're having a much harder time to keep it together. You know, their economy is not doing that great. And yeah, like, the Netherlands is one of the few countries in Europe that's still doing really well. And I think it has to do because one, we're small and two, we're, we're a trade nation. Like a lot of everything that goes in and out of Europe goes through us. We've got the biggest harbor in Europe still and one of the biggest in the world still. So, you know, as long as things are going well in Europe, it's going well over here. So we're just geographically in a very good Position and that really helps us so. And yeah, again, it's small country is easier to manage than an enormous place.
Brian Bishop
Well, no different than a yard, I'm guessing.
Giovanni
Can I ask Diedrich a question we've often wondered about? Diederik, you may be the only person to answer this as someone who's been spent time in the US and obviously in Holland. The US phrase going Dutch or Dutch doors. Why are the Dutch so into splitting things? Why is that a Dutch thing?
Brian Bishop
Trading post, I think the deal was. But go ahead.
Diederik
Yeah, I think the trading thing might have something to do with it. And also we have Calvinistic history which like very sober living way of living. You know, it's in our nature to spend as little money as possible. And we have a phrase that goes. That means if you act normal, you're being crazy enough, you know. So just be low key, don't be too flashy, don't spend too much money. And I don't know if you ever saw those cheese graters. Like it's a thing that allows you to slice a very thin piece of cheese from cheese.
Brian Bishop
Yeah, like the wire.
Giovanni
Yeah, like the wire ones.
Brian Bishop
Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's interesting because there's going Dutch and splitting the check. There's Dutch doors. Splitting, split door. I always said when I did carpentry, if you wanted to fill in a mortise, it was called a Dutchman, meaning don't buy a new jam, fix the old jam with a piece of wood you glue in. It was like. There is a Dutch cheapness thing, Swifty culture going on.
Gina Grad
But you do a hell of a Christmas dinner with that little. Like with the hibachi grill. And everyone gets their own little dinner. Oh, God, I love that.
Giovanni
Did you get that? Right?
Brian Bishop
What's it called?
Giovanni
Raclette.
Diederik
You mean hibachi grill. What am I thinking about?
Gina Grad
No, it's almost like. It's almost like Dutch tapas. Like Bry knows what it is.
Giovanni
This is with the cheese, right?
Gina Grad
Yeah, it's a little. It's like a little grill that you sit on top of the table and everyone has their own tray.
Brian Bishop
Yeah.
Diederik
You got your own tiny little pen. Yeah.
Brian Bishop
Thanks, Dietrich. I know we're gonna play some cop talk, but we'll do that.
Giovanni
I think that's Swiss.
Brian Bishop
Another show.
Giovanni
My good friend who's Swiss does it every Christmas.
Gina Grad
Our friend's girlfriend came in from Holland and brought us one. And we had it for Christmas.
Brian Bishop
The story. So we still got this super drunken story to tell you. Also, the Theresa Strasser is a person But I don't know. I mean, I assume everyone controversial. I don't know.
Gina Grad
She's a person.
Brian Bishop
No, here I use. I think of her oftentimes, which is, I have had many disagreements with many people who think I'm many things. But my take. And again, it could be a super over simplistic, easy on myself take, which is you will decide the relationship we have. And if we don't get along, that's because something's up with you. Because Theresa Strasser I never met before, she's a little bit nutty, she's a little bit high strung. She's somebody that you could easily not get along with if you were me. But I would let her dictate what kind of relationship we would have. And she dictated a good relationship. I don't have a predilection of like, I'm gonna make her love me or anything like that. I gave her a couple of pieces of advice.
Giovanni
That should have been your edict. Yes, I'll make you love me.
Brian Bishop
She would listen to the couple things I said. We're vastly different people with wildly different opinions on many different things. But she always treated me decently. I always treated her decently. And thus we shall always get.
Gina Grad
And I can even tell you that's exactly what she says behind your back when we're not on the air. Because on our show, the first three episodes, the first half of the first three, are dedicated to the Adam Carolla show. And we talk about all kinds of fun things and all kinds of crazy things. And she adores you, she respects you, and she truly appreciates all of the differences between you because she's learned a lot from it. That's what she conveys when you're not listening.
Brian Bishop
I agree. So if you don't get along with me, you're an asshole.
Gina Grad
I think that's what. Yeah, that's what we all took from that.
Brian Bishop
Thank you. All right, I got the super drunken story. Are you raising your hand?
Gina Grad
Yeah, really quick. Just because we've been talking about radio as we record this. Do you know what's about to happen in 30 minutes?
Brian Bishop
No.
Gina Grad
Mark and Brian on KLOS.
Brian Bishop
Oh, they're coming back. Oh, gotta tune into that.
Gina Grad
It's pretty crazy if you're an LA radio fan.
Giovanni
So if you're in LA and you're. It's yesterday.
Gina Grad
Thanks, Brian. I'm sure it's on a podcast.
Brian Bishop
They did inspire me.
Gina Grad
God, love a team player, Brian.
Brian Bishop
All right, I got another funny cop clip to play from San Francisco because evidently I did A lot of material with that cop on that CHP guy on stage. All right, quick break. The drunkest I've ever been story. And Kathryn, lunch lady wants to pull some balls in Sacktown right after this, guys. And now Aloa presents Definitely not a Jew on the Adam Corolla Show, Dateline, York, Maryland. A 30 year old man was charged with indecent exposure and open lewdness after he engaged in oral sex with a woman in the dining room of McDonald's. Definitely not a Jew. All right, let's see. Katherine, 38, Sacramento, she's a lunch lady. We got an F18 fighter pilot coming out to Sacramento at Thunder Valley Casino.
Giovanni
Heroes everywhere.
Brian Bishop
Yeah, that'll be tonight. Yep, tonight. Couple tickets left. I'll be up on stage doing stand up and we'll do Adam Corll's Unprepared but lunch lady. 38 year old lunch lady. Kathryn.
Katherine
Yes. Hello.
Brian Bishop
Hello.
Katherine
Hi, Adam. Hi, Gina. Hi, Brian.
Brian Bishop
Hey, where do you work? What's. You don't have to say the name of the school, but junior grade, high school.
Katherine
I do. Junior high.
Brian Bishop
Junior high is junior high. Now six through eight it is here.
Katherine
It'S seven through eight.
Brian Bishop
Oh yes. Seven through eight. That is true, yes.
Katherine
So yes, it's. Interesting crowd.
Gina Grad
That's a tough crowd.
Brian Bishop
I never understood the wisdom. I went to High School, 10, 11, 12 grade. I never understood the wisdom of taking 9th graders and putting them in. I mean, my buddy Ray, when he was a Senior, he was 19 and he was a goddamn animal. And the way it worked is anyone who went to North Hollywood High was fair game. Like if you were there and you were a chick. We all just went to the same high school. You were 14 and three quarters. Some of these flunkies were 19. Why are you putting them in the same general pop? I never, I never got that part, but okay.
Katherine
There's a big difference too between the seventh graders and even the eighth graders, especially the new ones that come in from sixth grade compared to the eighth graders.
Gina Grad
That puberty voice.
Brian Bishop
What do you guys got for food at the lunch place? Because my.
Katherine
We actually have really good food because they're spoiled. I think they get fresh salads that are made every day, fresh sandwiches, bread that's made every day. There.
Giovanni
You make the bread there?
Katherine
Yes.
Brian Bishop
Wow. What is now? So what we had was like first off, the thing about like the ice cream scooper is if it's going into ice cream, it's the greatest thing ever. If it's going into spaghetti, it's the worst day of Your goddamn life.
Gina Grad
If it's going savory.
Brian Bishop
Yeah. If it's going beans or spaghetti. Chopped up spaghetti. We were like, no, we don't have that.
Katherine
We even have chicken and waffles.
Brian Bishop
Our hamburgers were gray. Like, the meat was gray. The hot dogs were weird. Like, the pizza was square, thick, and had weird crumbly meat on it. Everything was institutionalized and everything was bad.
Giovanni
Masper is on a huge scale.
Katherine
It's not like that. I won't say the pizza place, but we get a take and bake pizza delivered to us every day, and we cook it there.
Gina Grad
Holy Lord.
Brian Bishop
So what do you. What do you do?
Katherine
What do I do? I do pizzas. I cook them, cut them, and then I do speed line. So that's. I get the kids in and out quickly.
Brian Bishop
Are your pizzas in the shape of pizza or is it that stupid football field shape that we used to have to eat?
Katherine
It is in the shape of a slice of pizza. A big slice of pizza.
Brian Bishop
Pizza and pizza shape.
Giovanni
Unbelievable how far we've come.
Brian Bishop
What. What kind of toppings are we talking about? What options do we talk about?
Katherine
We just do cheese or pepperoni. We tried a veggie pizza, and surprisingly, that did not go over well.
Brian Bishop
Everyone loves veggie pizzas. When you order pizzas, you get one cheese, one pepperoni, and one veggie. Like, you do pot stickers. You always get veggies.
Katherine
We tried a couple weeks and it didn't work.
Brian Bishop
Yeah. You know why? Because no one fucking likes it on their goddamn pizza. Like, could we put the word out? I think we like. We like the idea of liking veggie pizza, except for no one actually wants veggie pizza. And cheese pizza is essentially just veggie pizza. It's not. It's not. You can be vegan, or you can be vegetarian, and you can still have yourself a slice of cheese pizza. You can be vegetarian, which is better? Sorry. Vegetarian. Right. All right, so.
Katherine
But I'm also. I do makeup, so I often do that on the side. It's my little side hustle. So I'm a makeup artist.
Adam Carolla
Work management platforms.
Brian Bishop
Ugh.
Adam Carolla
Endless onboarding. I t. Bottlenecks, admin requests. But what if things were different? Monday.com is different. No lengthy onboarding, beautiful reports in minutes. Custom workflows you can build on your own. Easy to use prompt free AI. Huh. Turns out you can love a work management platform. Monday.com, the first work platform you'll love to use.
Brian Bishop
All right. Five hour energy. Yeah. I'll tell you. I use this stuff when I travel, I need it because it's like late night shows, early morning wake up calls, heading to the airport. You can go to Five Hour Energy and check out Five Hour Energy's website to find over 15 flavors to choose from. With flavors like watermelon, Tropical burst, blue, raspberry, peach, mango and more, there's a flavor for just about everyone. But it's really the results you're looking for is the energy. Check out regular strength strawberry, lemonade, extra strength fan fuel and more. You even have the option to build your own 12 pack or 24 pack. You choose the flavors and they'll deliver it right to your door. But if you're out and about, you can always pick up 5 Hour Energy and you do it in a shot at your local grocery or convenience store. You know, it's everywhere you get that energy you need. They are five hour energy energy two.
Katherine
And I'm just gonna go backstage. 11 year old twin boys. So I'm a busy girl, man.
Brian Bishop
Is there man in your life?
Katherine
No.
Brian Bishop
What happened to him?
Katherine
We are going through a divorce, so.
Giovanni
Yeah, that sucks.
Katherine
It's been about two years now, but the divorce is still going. But it's so back out on the dating. It's been interesting.
Brian Bishop
You looking to have a little revenge sex?
Katherine
Maybe.
Brian Bishop
Because that F18 fighter Jock might not be excited to know he got bumped, but if he got humped, I was gonna say that's a different situation.
Giovanni
Soft landing.
Katherine
Yeah, that's true. He's single.
Brian Bishop
When you're out there, you work in any of those dating apps or anything? Because I feel like lunch ladies. Something you'd want to keep a little close to the paper vest you're wearing.
Giovanni
I don't know though. Is it altruistic?
Katherine
You know, with the help it and if they don't like it that they don't have to date me.
Giovanni
Yeah, it's altruistic too. It's like I make healthy lunches for kids.
Gina Grad
Yeah, you're essentially a caterer in what you're doing.
Brian Bishop
I don't know, I feel. I feel like we have a vision of our head. That is not what we're looking for.
Katherine
Okay, well, I sent a picture in. I don't know if they sent you over the picture of me.
Brian Bishop
I haven't seen it yet.
Katherine
I don't think I look like the normal lunch lady. I don't know.
Brian Bishop
Well, why don't we give yourself a job? Because guys are pigs. Here's a job. You ready?
Katherine
Okay.
Brian Bishop
Instead of lunch lady. Because Brian is working an angle. We're looking at angle. Dark hair with blue eyes, working at an angle. Brian's angle. Sorry, different. Mark and Brian. The angle of like. Well, you're helping kids nutritionally. We don't care about that. Online dating. I will tell you what. But anyone who wants to know online dating, you tell them you work for the Seagrams Corporation and you hand out a lot of samples at F1 races and Indy car races. You are in charge of walking through the hot pit, handing out country music festivals.
Giovanni
Not so much the individual stuff.
Brian Bishop
You work for Seagrove, and you'll go work, and you'll oftentimes be handing out samples of something that's a hot chick jock.
Katherine
That's a good one. I'm sure most guys would rather hear that.
Brian Bishop
They would. Than lunch lady. Now, here's the thing, Katherine. I like you, and I like that you're trying to heal the kid. One slice at America, one slice at a time. But we did have a guy who is coming from the San Diego. San Diego area to see the shows in F18. Fighter Jock. So I'm trying to think of why we should bump him. Him who's given so much sacrifice to this country. They both served to you. Yes.
Katherine
You know, I'm fun, I'm cute. I got a cute smile up there on stage.
Giovanni
Single, ready to mingle.
Katherine
Single ready to go.
Brian Bishop
Also, in terms of my wiring, I got a lot more to talk about with the fighter jock than the chick that hands out the food.
Giovanni
Think about the audience.
Katherine
Quinn.
Brian Bishop
I am.
Katherine
I also Quinn.
Brian Bishop
Oh, twins. Boy. Girl. What do you got?
Katherine
Two boys.
Brian Bishop
Two boys. Oh, you said it. Yeah. All right, I'll tell you what, Kathryn.
Katherine
I don't fly F18s, but I do drive a Pathfinder full of baseball kids, usually two. So sports.
Giovanni
And maybe she can do your makeup backstage.
Katherine
Yeah, I could do his makeup backstage.
Brian Bishop
Yeah. Give Mike a break. Let him watch some ESPN and eat some veggies.
Giovanni
Look at the powder already.
Katherine
I can do you up so you don't get sweaty on stage under the light.
Brian Bishop
I'll tell you what, Kathryn. Come out, and at some point, we'll bring you, have you stand up, and we'll acknowledge you and we'll say hi to you. But you were scooped by our fighter pilot. I got a fair is fair. A fair. Fair is fair. All right, let's see. Oh, we have a clip. We kept playing those clips of the CHP guy who made the mistake of coming up on stage with me, and then he ended up getting roasted, which is kind of More fertile soil for me.
Giovanni
Be careful what you wish for, right?
Brian Bishop
We have a clip from Cobbs, San Francisco. I think this time I got onto the subject of, once I write you up for over 85, what would then happen? Because they like to do that thing where they go, you were going this fast. But I'm gonna write you up for this fast. Because if I write you up for over this cutoff. Yeah. And a whole bunch of bad things. So we'll give it a listen. You pulled someone over. What? This was just the other day.
Chris Kattan
114.
Brian Bishop
114. Fucking dude's a hero driving a mustache. I love it. What do you do now? 114.
Adam Carolla
And what?
Brian Bishop
You know my favorite move? My favorite move? If I were you, I'd be doing this every day that you go up and you go, I could write you up for 114, but if I did, you'd be butt for the rest of your life in a hole. So I. Yeah, I mean, if I. If I. If anything over 85, we impound your car, we strip you naked, and officer Duke McLean, who's a man of color, cuckolds your wife in front of you. That's over 85. So anything over 85 is cuckolding. Let me get the other side of the car. It's too dangerous on this side of the car over here. So anything over 85, and. And they move you to Devil's island where Pepon was. And you're staked to an ant hill, dude, and they cover you with honey. So that's over 85. So if I. And then the guy's like, I'll suck you off if you go any. Please give me 85 miles an hour.
Giovanni
Please.
Brian Bishop
Yeah, you have to go to Travis School for 7,000 years. If over 85, you lose your insurance, you lose your job, you lose your ability to achieve erections. And you go over 85. So I write you up for over 85. So what is that number? What's the matter? You. If you. You wrote this guy up for 114. Well, you wrote it at 114. And do you show him? Do you show him? You got to show him the radar, right? You don't have to, but that was actually LIDAR. Oh, LIDAR. Yeah. What the fuck is LIDAR? LIDAR's like. You talk to your wife? You been cheating on me? No, I have not. That's bullshit. Fucking LiDAR's going off. Oh, you didn't know I installed LiDAR. LiDAR. Better radar, I guess.
Giovanni
Radar is an acronym. So LIDAR must be too.
Brian Bishop
Oh, it is. Yeah, that's right. I have a radar detector. I guess it must work on lidar.
Giovanni
Sonar is an acronym.
Brian Bishop
Oh, that's right. Sonic.
Giovanni
Please don't ask me. I always make it around.
Brian Bishop
All right, take a quick break, come back. I'll tell you my drunken story right after this. It's time to check Adam's voicemail. Hi, Adam. If you are a victim of Restless.
Diederik
Cock Syndrome, rcs, are you eligible for a service corps?
Brian Bishop
You can leave us a message at 888-634-1744. Probably get a note from Dr. Drew for that. Yeah. So the drunkest I've ever been was I had a hot rod car back in the day. I lived in an apartment. I was always. You know, it's weird. I don't know if you guys can identify with this feeling or if there's some subject that resonates with you, but I had the unyielding desire to build and fix and wrench and do everything. And I had no skills and I had no experience, and I had no tools. But I had this fantasy about, I'm gonna get a car and I'm gonna fix it up and it's gonna be cool and it's custom, and I'm gonna do all this stuff, and it's gonna be this way and that way. And it was like a real strong, like, mechanical fantasy, I guess. Like, some people dream of rock and roll. I wanna rock and roll, you know? But you can't play guitar and you can't sing and you can't aff.
Giovanni
I have a nerd version of that, which is I wanted so badly. This is 10, 11, 12 years old, to be a sports writer. Like, I wanted so badly to write sports. What am I gonna write Sports for? I'm 11 years old. You know what I mean? I would go up to my grandparents, like, you know, third bedroom office, you know, whatever the. Whatever room they threw things in. They had a typewriter. I would just type up, like, little, like, articles and columns and give it to my grandpa because he was a big sports fan, and be like, what do you think, Grandpa? I'm like, oh, yeah, you're really, really good. But that was my. You know, I had no forum. I publish my articles. I just gave them to my grandpa. I pounded away the typewriter.
Brian Bishop
Yeah. And I hope that most people have some version of that. I hope their relationship with it isn't as frustrating as mine was because mine was very mechanical. Literally. I needed a car, I needed tools. I Needed space, I needed stuff. You're not handy for the sake of being handy. I mean, you have to have somebody showing you how to use the tools and everything. And at some point I bought a junker 240Z just sort of carcass. And I didn't have any place to do it. And I like parked into my mom's driveway of her junker house and kind of had it up on blocks. And I'd go over there every weekend, gasoline and like a scrub brush and stand inside the engine compartment and scrub things and pull the engine out and find weird little bits and pieces. But there was no rhyme. There's no reason. I had no idea what I was doing. And it just. It was kind of. It was more frustrating than it was inspiring. Like I just never got anything done. I didn't have any money.
Gina Grad
So you just clean things.
Brian Bishop
I just go in like clean things. And I'd buy an anti sway bar and I'd put it somewhere and it'd get stolen or something. Like it was a mess. And at some point somebody had a crazy 240Z almost kind of race car. The kind of cars I complain about setting off car alarms and big open pipes in the back. Big souped up Triple Sideraft, Weber McCuneys or 44 Mikunis or whatever, the big old thing. And he was just selling it. And I kind of realized that all the work and all the stuff and all whatever I was trying to do with my car that was never really happening was kind of his car. And I ended up like selling a motorcycle I had and selling some other stuff, whatever. And I bought this car that was more of a race car than it was a street car. And it was super loud and it was like kind of a mess. And I didn't even know what I was doing. But I was like, I gotta have this car, like so cool and so fast and so whatever. And I bought it. And the night. Well, Max Apata, you can figure this one out. A. I don't know if we ever found any garage picture or anything. But what is it then when we do find it? Like when I go, I know we got this picture somewhere, we got this thing somewhere. And then everyone goes, nah, it's not around.
Adam Carolla
Well, as of now, from all the searching we've done, we have not found it. But there's still a possibility that if we continue searching for it after the show, which we will, that we will stumble across it.
Brian Bishop
How come we don't?
Adam Carolla
I'm not saying it doesn't Exist.
Brian Bishop
Do we not, like, label stuff? Or as we go through stuff, do we label stuff?
Adam Carolla
We label stuff. When the pictures were uploaded, they were not labeled. So as we're going, we're labeling.
Brian Bishop
All right. Or as we're scrubbing through these files, Donnie would have tons and tons of pictures. I hope you're all sitting down. He would never label anything or label it correctly or do anything like that. So we have to just fumble through big piles of old pictures. But as long as we're doing it, Max Pata. As long as we're labeling it as we go, then so be it.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, it is a mission to.
Brian Bishop
I had some old picture of the garage and the car sort of sitting in it. You can kind of see it, but it doesn't really matter. It's an old orange Z car that was all hopped up.
Giovanni
That'd be a worthwhile project for someone to spend on a day or two on go through pictures.
Brian Bishop
Not gonna happen. Car. Nobody will ever do it.
Gina Grad
Football.
Brian Bishop
Nobody will ever judge. Okay, it would be worthwhile. And I have talked about it a few times, but nobody's ever gonna do that now. That's just the way. That's the new world order. Either way, I do have a bunch of stuff that's on vhs. I don't know, Letterman appearances and stuff like that on Space Ghost or something like that. And I do want to get them all ripped and put on a hard drive and labeled and all that. But that'll be a very long multi layered discussion for me to have for many years. That's what I've learned. Yeah, well, don't look forward to it being done. Look forward to overhearing many arguments I'm going to have about getting it done one of these days. So I will. I'll probably just hire somebody and have them do it. And I think that'll be the way to go. But anyway, when did the movie Pretty in pink come out? 86. 85. 85. I'm guessing 80 something. Got to find out the month because we went to the premiere at the Grauman Chinese Theater. I was living with Donnie. We're in our crappy apartment.
Gina Grad
February 86th.
Brian Bishop
February 86. Early ish. 80. And this was about that time and they were having the big premiere at the Grauman's Chinese or one of those places on Sunset or Hollywood Boulevard. And we were like, we're gonna take. We're gonna take the Batmobile, the big car, the big loud car, and we're gonna drive it over there now. Max Zapata if you look at the Avalon where Paul Bryan is gonna do his 10 year benefit over there that you guys are invited to, will be there as well. It was on vine and the parking lot that I parked on was up the hill. It's toward the freeway.
Giovanni
It's a small little grade right there.
Brian Bishop
Yeah. To go up the hill, there was a bank on the corner and had like a bank parking lot. We just parked there. So we just parked there up the hill on the same side as the Avalon. And it was many, many. I have many vague recollections from that night. One is we saw Pretty in Pink at the Gromit Chinese Theater. Molly Ringwald sat behind us. She had chipmunk jowls, a jaw. Because she had her wisdom teeth removed two days earlier or a day earlier. And I remember at the time not being a publicist or in show business or anything, but I was a carpenter. But I was like, why would you wait till after the premiere?
Gina Grad
Two days later?
Brian Bishop
Yeah, do the premiere and then get your wisdom teeth removed. Or do it a week earlier. And I let the swelling go down. But she was very swollen from having her wisdom teeth removed. You wouldn't want to walk the red carpet that way.
Gina Grad
And being that fair skinned, I'm sure she lit up like a Christmas tree with the rosacea.
Brian Bishop
So it was weird. I remember that thought. I remember watching the movie and kind of going, okay, like was it, you know, it was fine. And not a James Spader fan.
Giovanni
I made this deck of seeing it for the first time in 2015.
Gina Grad
Oh, wow.
Giovanni
So that didn't land. Didn't land the punch.
Gina Grad
I had that old imprinting Harry Dean Stanton.
Giovanni
Oh, I'm sure. Yeah. You saw when you're a certain age.
Brian Bishop
So then we, then we went over to the Avalon, which was the palace back then, and we, we went. You have a statement from Alan Hunter about the party?
Adam Carolla
I found an article about Alan Hunter talking about the premiere party at the Palace.
Brian Bishop
From mtv?
Adam Carolla
Yeah, from mtv. He hosted it.
Brian Bishop
Oh, he did, yeah.
Adam Carolla
Along with Faye Waybill of the Tube.
Brian Bishop
Fee.
Adam Carolla
Fee. Excuse me way Bill.
Brian Bishop
Yeah, and he open lead singer from the Tubes. Yeah.
Adam Carolla
So loads of celebrities there like Justine Bateman.
Brian Bishop
Oh, why did they mention me?
Adam Carolla
Michael Keaton that have a Carpenter series. Michael J. Fox and the film stars. He interviewed John Anderson from yes. And Andy Summers from the Police, who seemed somewhat confused about being there. He remembers Andy Potts and Jon Cryer there talking about nerds ruling the world someday. Everyone delightful. And he had fun talking to John Hughes at the party.
Brian Bishop
And that was. What is the date that must have been. As I recall, it was a. It was either weekday or it was a Friday, and I had to go to work on Saturday. I'm curious what the date was. There's a date on that article. But anyway, no date on that article.
Giovanni
Okay, so those premieres are usually midweek.
Brian Bishop
Yeah, it was midweek.
Giovanni
Especially because they don't want to take up the theater for a weekend.
Brian Bishop
I had to go to work, and my work was not sitting in a cubicle being hungover. My work was like digging ditches. But we went there, and I remember a couple things. So we got to the party. It was raining. It didn't rain out here very often, but, boy, when it rained, it rained. And it was raining. And we parked up on the hill, and we parked in this parking lot. Maybe Maxapata can find the street version of it. And we went down, and me and Donnie were just walking around, and he was my designated driver. So I was like, I'm getting wasted. And for some reason, I also remember I was drinking greyhounds. Like, I was drinking vodka and grapefruit juice, and I was just pounding them. And it was a weird. I have a couple thoughts. Like, we're upstairs into whatever room, and there's, like, there's celebrities around. And Katherine Bach was there. Daisy Duke was there.
Giovanni
Good heavens.
Brian Bishop
And it was like, daisy Duke is there in the height of her powers. And she was, like, kind of walking around. And I said to Donnie, like, go talk to her. Go say hi. And he's like, no, I don't want to say hi. And I was like, yeah, go up. Go up to her. Whatever. And she.
Giovanni
The guy with eight greyhounds on him is encountered. He's sober guy. Come on, bro.
Brian Bishop
And she had, like, something on her shoulder, like a piece of yarn or string or something from her dress was, like, sitting on her shoulder and kind of weird. And I just remember him going up to her and going like, oh, you got something on. And he pulled off. And she just gave that look, like, what?
Chris Kattan
Yeah, what?
Brian Bishop
And he was like, oh, you had something. She's like, whatever. And she, like, walked, right? It was one of those things, like. Like, you talk yourself into it. Like, oh, there are people just like you and me. She probably liked it. Engaging on. It was the worst. It was the worst. So I got utterly wasted, and before you know it, people had cleared out. After all, it was a weeknight, and the rains really started to kick in.
Adam Carolla
I'm seeing Thursday night.
Brian Bishop
Thursday night. And it was just brutal. And I started looking around for Donnie, and he'd met himself a gal and they'd left, and, you know, it was. No one had cell phones or texting or anything like that. Like, he may have looked around and went, I don't know where he is. He just split with her. And he split. And I was just left behind, utterly wasted. I didn't have money. I didn't Uber. I didn't know how we. I wouldn't begin my entire beginning life. I wouldn't know how. Call a cab. I thought that was something from a movie. Like, what do you mean, call a cab?
Giovanni
Call me a cab.
Brian Bishop
Who could call a cab? No one has money. No one has a credit card. No one has a phone. Like, how are you gonna call a. So did you find the street or tell Gary to help you with this street thing? Yeah, we'll show you the map.
Adam Carolla
This is the map view. So you see the Avalon in the middle there with the big.
Brian Bishop
I just want to see the street. Get Gary to do the street thing. We walk up the street. You see the thing on the thing, the Google view?
Adam Carolla
Yeah, wherever you want on the map. We can go into a street view and see which way you want to go.
Brian Bishop
Go up the hill. Well, you know the way I want to go, I want to go up the hill and on the same side of the street as the thing, which is up the hill, and on the same side of the street is the thing. So there's. Yeah, they probably had a hedge around this parking lot. Now I just keep going up the hill, but either way, you go up the hill and there. I left this place and it was pouring. Oh, yeah, they got the parking lots all closed off now. But it was pouring. It was pouring, pouring rain. And I walked out and I walked up the hill, and there was my car in the parking lot, and I was utterly wasted. And I was standing in the driving rain. Had no umbrella or rain, anything, gear of any kind. I was just standing there in the middle of the night. There was my Z car, and there was a cop car. And it was parked right next to the Z car. So it was a completely empty parking lot. It was the middle of the night. It was teeming rain. There was no shelter, anything else going on. I was like, I'm gonna go in the 7:11 and hang out for 10 minutes. There was nothing was open. There was nothing around. There was just my car and an empty parking lot that hold 100 cars. But right next to my car was parked a cop car. And the windows were Fogged over, and I couldn't tell. There was no lights on on the cop car. It was just parked. And I just stood there in the driving rain, just staring at my car and staring at the cop car. And I was going, why is that guy? What is going on? I could not. I mean, I was drunk as shit, but I still could still process things. Why is he there?
Giovanni
When you're that drunk, do you ever feel like, is he there for me?
Brian Bishop
Or.
Giovanni
This must run through your mind, at least briefly.
Brian Bishop
I was there, and I was thinking, is he waiting for whoever gets into this car? Like, so at some point, it was raining so hard. I just climbed into the car and shut the door, and I just sat there. And he's trying to, like, look out my window, but I couldn't. My window was, like, fogged up, and his window was fogged up. And I was like, so this guy's waiting until I start the car?
Gina Grad
Yeah.
Brian Bishop
And once I start the car, he's gonna hit the rollers. Like, he's gonna get me on a dui. If I start it, I can't die. I could say I'm sleeping in the car or something like that, but he's waiting. And I just sat there, and I just sat there. I had to go dig ditches the next morning, the pouring, pouring rain. And I just remember just sitting there for what felt like forever, not being frozen. I had no idea what to do. I still was trying to figure out, like, what is this? What would the cops business be if they were there? I don't know if they're in the car. I don't know if they're out of the car. If they're out of the car, where are they and what are they doing? And why would they park in the middle of a parking lot? Why would they park right next to my car? And I just sat there and sat there and sat there. And eventually I was like, I don't know what to do. And I just fired up the car, and the car was loud as shit, threw it in reverse, just, like, started creeping off. And it was raining so hard. It probably kind of helped me because I was so drunk. But everyone was going, like, 10 miles an hour because it was pouring and, like, on the freeway, and the freeway was, like, flooded. And I was just trying to use the bumps to, like, stay in lane. But everyone was going so slow, and everyone was like, like, avoiding puddles and whatever. Eventually got the.
Giovanni
Your recollections. They were avoiding puddles?
Brian Bishop
Yeah. Avoiding you. Avoiding me. Eventually, I got the Car home yacked in the bathtub. I think I remember pretty clearly.
Giovanni
And how was disc jigging the next day?
Brian Bishop
Oh, God. Again, you guys who do the. Oh, I'm so. I work for an insurance company and I showed up all a bachelor party. I was all hungover and I got my Alka Seltzer and I put my sunglasses on and leaned back in my chair a little. That's fine. Digging ditches is brutal. Brutal. To this day, I have no idea what went on with that cop. But I do remember that party and I do remember being at the what was the palace and is now the Avalon. The Avalon.
Giovanni
Well, you have to commemorate that event in November.
Brian Bishop
That's what I'm talking about.
Giovanni
The second drunk is not of your life.
Brian Bishop
That's what I'm talking about. All right, quick break. Back with the news and Gina grad. Give me the news with Grat. News with Gino grad. Breaking viral. All those crazy Trump tweets. Give me news with Gina grad. Troubled in the Middle east celebrity drunk meltdowns. See News with Gina Gina. The news with Gina Grad.
Gina Grad
Well, Joe Biden has officially entered the 2020 presidential race. As expected, the former vice president joined the very crowded field of Democratic hopefuls. I believe there's 20 now. He released a campaign video overnight in which he declared that, quote, we are in the battle for the soul of this nation. Here's a clip.
Brian Bishop
I believe history will look back on four years of this president and all he embraces as an aberrant moment in time.
Nate
But if we give Donald Trump eight.
Brian Bishop
Years in the White House, he will forever and fundamentally alter the character of this nation, who we are. And I cannot stand by and watch that happen.
Gina Grad
Donald had some thoughts about that.
Brian Bishop
He tweeted he should have said, Obama's thing was, we're three days away from fundamentally changing this nation. He picked an unfortunate term there because fundamentally changing. When Obama was taken over, I think he did some comment like, we're three days away from fundamentally changing this nation. And he meant that in a good way for the positive. But he said fundamentally changing. And I guess he meant it for the bad way. But he was just with the guy who said fundamentally change. And so he should have never used that phrase. And I don't know, I don't blame him. I kind of blame the people who load the teleprompter, like, go, like, wait a minute. Your guy said fundamentally change. Like, hey, not.
Giovanni
Who do you think got too clever by half? Like, oh, this is a callback to you Know the old thing, I wish.
Brian Bishop
All these mistakes were like too smart for the room. I always think it's like, eh, somebody dropped the ball.
Gina Grad
Well, Trump had some thoughts about this. He tweeted, welcome to the race, Sleepy Joe. I only hope you have the intelligence, long in doubt, to wage a successful primary campaign. It'll be nasty. You'll be dealing with people who truly have some very sick and demented ideas. But if you make it, I'll see you at the starting gate.
Brian Bishop
Oh, wait a minute. You gotta get the theme from Petticoat Junction. Max Apata. Cause we call him Uncle Joe Biden, right?
Gina Grad
Mostly Uncle Joe.
Giovanni
Yeah.
Brian Bishop
Yeah. Well, I don't mean it says it on his birth certificate. No, I mean his nickname is Uncle Joe.
Gina Grad
Yeah, Uncle Joe is what we do.
Brian Bishop
Uncle Joe. Brian Biden. He's gotta play this theme. Trump does Petticoat Junction. Petticoat Junction. Remember that TV show?
Giovanni
I know of it, but people pop.
Brian Bishop
Out of the bad TV show from the 60s, 70s or whatever.
Gina Grad
But is it the same time as.
Brian Bishop
Hee Haw, one of the characters? Well, everything was the same time as Hee Haw because Hee haw ran for 31 years. He Haw ran for 1914 to 1989. It was crazy. But, but in Petticoat Junction they got the song and they go, and there's Uncle Joe. He's a moving kind of slow like there's a low energy Petticoat Junction. Well, I'll play it for you. Just dawned on me. Come ride the little train that is rolling down the tracks to the junction Forget about your cares it is time to relax at the junction Junction Lots of curves.
Giovanni
You bet.
Brian Bishop
Good luck. Check when you get to the junction. Petticoat Junction. There's a little hotel called the Shady Rest at the junction. Petco Junction. It is run by Kate. Come and be her. Kate guessed at the junction Here it comes and that circle. Joe, he's a moving kind of slow at the junction Junction.
Gina Grad
Yeah, that'll work its way in.
Brian Bishop
Yeah. There's someone in the Trump campaign. Come on now, start watching TV Land. Let's go.
Gina Grad
Well, he's 76. He's four years older than Trump, and if he was elected, he'd be the oldest ever elected president. Of course, same would be for Bernie.
Brian Bishop
Yeah, Bernie would seem the oldest, even if he was chronologically the oldest.
Gina Grad
All right, so we'll see what happens. Well, the Hill reports that President Trump's former attorney, Michael Cohen reportedly told comedian Tom Arnold that he is not guilty of some of the charges he pled guilty to and expressed frustration at the length of his sentence and the lack of support from those in Washington. In recordings of a call from late March Arnold provided to the Wall Street Journal, Cohen says he didn't actually commit income tax evasion or bank fraud related to home equity loans. Here's. Here's the clip.
Brian Bishop
My business, I lost, you know, everything. My insurance, my bank accounts. All for what? All for what? Because Trump, you know, had an affair with a porn star. That's really what this is about. There's no tax evasion. And the HELOC. I have an 18% loan to value on my home. Right. Could there be a HELOC issue? That's right. That's right. Right. That's absolutely. It's a lie. All right.
Gina Grad
So he says that he admitted to doing much of this to keep prosecutors from going after his wife, saying that he wasn't going to let her get dragged through the mud. He added to the lament saying he never thought the judge was going to throw a three year sentence at him. And Cohen still admits to the campaign finance crimes he committed in arranging payments to Stormy Daniels. But other than that, no.
Brian Bishop
Tom Arnold is the devil. Did they get him on a was there finance? The payments to Stormy Daniel were a campaign finance.
Gina Grad
Well, that's what he admitted to and is true. According to Michael Cohen, there was a bunch of charges that weren't true. Bank fraud related and income tax evasion related and home equity loan related. That he. It sounds like he was trying to.
Brian Bishop
Take the bullet for his wife, I don't think. Who's gonna end up worse off, Stormy Daniels or Michael Avenatti? Like five years from now.
Giovanni
Avenatti? Storm Daniels would just be what she is. Maybe a little better than she was before.
Brian Bishop
I had notoriety, tired, porn. I don't know, it's kind of weird, but she's not.
Gina Grad
But now we don't think of her as that. Now we're supposed to think of her as a crusader.
Giovanni
Yeah. She might be embarrassed. Exactly. She might be embraced by a certain.
Gina Grad
Remember. Remember what? Auntie. What the hell's her name? Maxine Waters. Which she said. And if we can't do it, we're gonna let Stormy do it for us.
Giovanni
Stormy gonna be in the View. She hosting the View.
Brian Bishop
I feel like we use those people for as long as we need them, and then when we're done with them, they lose a lot of that, whatever that is.
Giovanni
You underestimate the Kardashians at your own risk.
Brian Bishop
I don't feel that way about the Kardashians. But I don't think Stormy Daniels. I don't think anybody politically. We use people and then we're done with them. And when we're done with them, we're done with them. Y. Christina Blasey Ford or whatever, we're done with her. Once we're done, we're done. And I think we're done with her. All right, let me hit this real quick then tease your next story. What are you gonna talk about?
Gina Grad
A long awaited execution finally took place.
Brian Bishop
Oh, good. I love an uplifting story. Trains. That's why I ran around. Let's talk a little about safety. That's right, you stop because trains can't stop. It can be frustrating. You're running late. You're coming from a meeting with Michael Mann on the west side. You're trying to make some hay while the sun shines. Get stuck at that railroad crossing, you have an impulse like, I'll just drive around that little arm and ignore the little flashing light and jump the line. Don't ever do that. Trains are going faster than you expect. They can take a mile to stop, especially when they're moving. And that ain't the little steamer going to Petticoat Junction. These are rails. They're moving, man. So let's not get your car all balled up to be a hunk of metal. Let's take care of ourselves. Do not think about jumping that line. The signals are on. The train is on its way. Take your time. Return safe to your home or God forbid, your kids are in your car. Let's get everyone home safe. Just remember one thing. Stop. Because trains cannot. All right, Gina, what do we got?
Gina Grad
Well, John William King, a 44 year old convicted more than 20 years ago of a racially inspired murder, was executed Wednesday night in Texas.
Brian Bishop
Oh, white guy.
Gina Grad
White guy with a fatal dose of pentobarbital.
Brian Bishop
Gina, you said it was gonna be a, you know, feel good.
Gina Grad
Damn, it is pretty feel good actually. I'm sure you, you'll remember this case. The execution, this is in Huntsville, took place after the supreme court denied King's petition for a stay. Prior to his execution, King released this statement. Capital punishment is them without capital get the punishment. Now let's.
Brian Bishop
I might make a license plate frame out of that.
Gina Grad
Let's recall what he was in prison for back in 1998. King and two other white men offered a ride to James Byrd Jr. But then beat him, spray painted his face, chained him to the back of a pickup truck and dragged him for three miles until he was Dead around the same time as Matthew Shepard. Actually, I think that was a few months later. Pretty tough time in our history. And 20 years. I thought Texas was known for these. For getting speedy.
Brian Bishop
Yeah, just kill everyone. As soon as we figure out they're guilty, they're guilty. Shepard was killed by maybe his boyfriend and maybe a drug thing. And it just got picked up by the gay and lesbian community as a hate crime. But it wasn't. That's one of the things.
Gina Grad
This is a different direction for the Laramie Project.
Brian Bishop
You can look it up, but. Well, it was too good to let go. Like, hey, gay guy was chained to a pole and beaten to death or something. Good hate crime. File it. Moving on. His story was drug guy, boyfriend and drugs or something. But it wasn't just a straight ahead, that guy's gay. Let's chain him to the whatever. But this guy did this.
Gina Grad
This was as horrendous as it could possibly get.
Brian Bishop
As horrendous as it could possibly get. So why don't we kill these guys earlier?
Gina Grad
Thank you. Because I did a little looking into it, and from what I read, it takes a million dollars basically to keep somebody on death row. A million. All the appeals before they get put down, right? A million dollars.
Brian Bishop
And also, why should they be allowed for the next 20 years to eat the exact same food that was served to me at Walter Reed Elementary?
Giovanni
That's pretty crazy.
Brian Bishop
In 19, 1979, probably on one of.
Giovanni
The, you know, lunch ladies who called in.
Brian Bishop
Mm.
Gina Grad
Good riddance. Well, this week on Empire, Jussie Smollett made his final appearance of the season. He was suspended from the show, as you know, following a 16 charge indictment. Later dropped. The future, though, for him hangs in the balance now. The show's plotline left open the possibility that his character returns. Meanwhile, his co stars wrote a letter demanding that the producers bring him back. They said, because.
Brian Bishop
Is this dude gonna skate? Can we. I don't know. Are you guys with me? See if you can find the Matthew Shepard story. Maxapata. That's. Are you guys with me? That whatever you're up to, if you're not in jail, you should just be allowed to work. I mean, this thing where it's like, well, he was, you know, whatever this pilot did at a party, you know, on a weekend now, we don't want him working for our airline. Like, I don't know if whatever they did doesn't affect whatever he's doing, especially in acting, who cares? I mean, by the way, everybody is a moral degenerate who does acting. Come on, where's the bar? You know what I mean? Okay, we don't like him, but whatever. That's between him in Chicago or him and his fans or him and his God, or he's got to make it right or restitution or he's going to sue Mark Ergos or the guys from Nigeria are going to sue him or whatever it is. But. But you get to go to work. I did this part where you have to stop working. Everyone has to get shit canned from everything all the time. I'm not drawing a straight line between a guy works in the defense industry and he goes home and he's an alcoholic and he's a crappy dad and he's verbally abusive to his stepdaughter, and then he goes to Lockheed at 8am on Monday morning and he starts getting back to work. Like, what is that? I mean, look, maybe you don't want him living next to you, or maybe you feel bad for a stepdaughter, but if he's not being criminally charged and he's not being incarcerated and he's not had DUIs or whatever, it didn't stick. Whatever it is we wanted to do with him, it got dropped. Maybe it shouldn't have been dropped, but it got dropped. So then you go back to work, especially when your work is playing somebody else. You know what I mean?
Gina Grad
You still hate Jesse, but like his.
Brian Bishop
Character, if you're sitting there next to Michael Strahan doing Good Morning, whatever, well, then it's kind of you. And you can kind of go, well, you're screwing up the brand or whatever it is, but you're just an actor.
Gina Grad
Yeah, well, that's exactly what his cast members think. They said, we stand with Jussie Smollett and ask that our co star be brought back for our sixth season. Meanwhile, though, ratings have plummeted since the arrest. And according to the New York Post, it's quite possible Smollett doesn't return because Fox cancels the show.
Brian Bishop
Ratings couldn't have plummeted because of all this, right?
Gina Grad
Well, you'd think, if anything, they'd go up because you watch Empire. And now I'm kind of curious.
Giovanni
Well, he's aware of it.
Gina Grad
Yeah.
Brian Bishop
Yeah. I don't know. Max, Pat, make a note. Have me cast in a predominantly black television show because if I ever go, Jussie Smollett or Bill Cosby, I want them all to stand by me.
Gina Grad
Rally.
Brian Bishop
You know what I mean? Why do you. Don't roll that way like, you know, as soon as Andy Dick got out of line, everyone in news radio was like, fuck that guy.
Giovanni
Good luck.
Brian Bishop
You're on your own.
Giovanni
Charlie Sheen. We got Asha Kutcher. We announced that.
Brian Bishop
But I feel like we get in a black ensemble. They stand with you.
Gina Grad
Yeah, well, we're gonna find out with you.
Brian Bishop
Write that down. I'm gonna start auditioning later today.
Giovanni
Blackish with Adam Carolla.
Brian Bishop
That's right. I want them standing with me. Cause Cosby cast kind of did that with him, right?
Gina Grad
Oh, what's her name? His wife did. Phylicia Rashad. Yeah.
Brian Bishop
And there was a couple. I think a couple of kids did, too.
Gina Grad
Yeah. Rudy.
Brian Bishop
That's right.
Giovanni
Susan Pullman.
Gina Grad
Yeah.
Brian Bishop
Wild Ryan.
Giovanni
I have no idea. Damn it.
Brian Bishop
You want that? All right, one more.
Gina Grad
Well, unemployment is historically low, so McDonald's is targeting a different set of workers right now. They are now targeting the elderly. The fast food chain said on Wednesday that it's partnering with the AARP to help attract workers who are 50 and over, yet not the. They're elderly. That demographic makes up 11% of their workforce. But because they can't get young people to work the early shifts for breakfast and lunch, they're going to have the AARP crowd come in and relieve them.
Brian Bishop
They'd have to get upset. An alarm, have some discipline.
Gina Grad
They're not into it.
Brian Bishop
Yeah. We were walking down San Francisco and walking down the coast and heading toward the Golden Gate Bridge, passed In N Out Burger hiring. The numbers were 16, like 84 an hour to 18. 84 an hour.
Giovanni
They always pay pretty high, historically, their thing.
Brian Bishop
It's a fast food place for over 15 bucks an hour. And that's what I'm saying. Uncle Joe's moving kind of slow at the junction. Just let the market, man don't cap it at 15. And I know that's not what you're saying, but I mean, you cannot cap it and you can't put a basement on it either. That In N Out Burger in that spot needs people. And 12 bucks an hour ain't doing it. They're not attracting people for 12 bucks an hour. I'm sure they'd be happy to pay $12 an hour, but they're not getting any applications and they're not getting any at 15. They're going over 15. There were. I think it was max bad. We saw it was like 16 and 18 bucks an hour over there in San Francisco, right?
Adam Carolla
Oh, yeah, right. Right there on the window.
Brian Bishop
Yeah, they put it right out. They need people. That's the market. It's Sorting it out. All right. You want to bring it home? Sure.
Gina Grad
I'm Gina Grad and that's the news.
Brian Bishop
Gina. Gina. That was the news with Gina Grad. Alright, Max, Pat, did you find any Matthew Shepard news? Yeah.
Adam Carolla
So the story is these two guys pick him up, they lure him out of his truck pretending to be gay and then they tie Matthew Shepard up to a fence, pistol whip him, torture him, set him a fire, leave him to die. And then in the trial, the guys, the two guys, one of their girlfriends says, yeah, they did it because of how one of the guys quote, felt about gays. And then, but then the lawyer said that they used, they put forward what's called a gay panic defense, which is when you, you, you act, you, you have temperate insanity because of same unwanted, same sexual advance advances. So that's what they did. That didn't work. So then he just says, look, they're driven by greed and violence, not sexual orientation, but they were still sentenced to two lifetimes in prison.
Brian Bishop
And yeah, that's the version of it, but I'll find you an alternative version of it for next week or that has some of that in it. It takes a deeper dive into it. There's more to it than straight away gay bashing which was initially reported Baldy woods gonna be doing the Avengers next week. So look out world. And until next time, Adam Kroll for Gina Grass, Teresa Strasser and bald Brian saying mahalo.
Diederik
New York hexanus.
Giovanni
All right, this is Adam Carillo Show 2259. Coming up next, we have Adam Crillo Show 1752. We got Andrew. Will Andrew eat it?
Brian Bishop

Brian Bishop
Bald Bryan, how you feeling? Lot of That. A lot of weekends of that. But you did get out the fields.
Giovanni
I did not.
Brian Bishop
Oh, well, that's weird. Yeah.
Giovanni
That's funny, because Christy was actually sick. She came home sick from work, and we're like, we're not going to. I emailed him and said, thanks a lot, but no, thanks.
Brian Bishop
Oh. So I was.
Giovanni
Oh, I don't know, because last I.
Brian Bishop
Checked in with you, I thought you were going.
Giovanni
You sounded devastated when you found out I was going, so I figured you were gonna check out at some point.
Brian Bishop
You know what I mean? I'll give you an example. I'll give you an example. Can I give you an example?
Giovanni
I'm all ears.
Brian Bishop
I'm a car guy.
Giovanni
Okay.
Brian Bishop
I work very hard, and part of the reason that I got into comedy and work as many weekends as I do is to satiate my lust for cars. And I really appreciate.
Giovanni
Supports the habit.
Brian Bishop
It does. And I really appreciate the mechanics and the engineering and all that kind of stuff. And so picture a guy like me or just anyone in my vicinity who worked his tail off his whole life, built a business from the ground up, finally squeezed the trigger and got themselves the McLaren Mercedes. And the next thing you know, they pull up the stoplight and there's Paris Hilton, and she's got a fucking lap dog, and she's sitting right next to him. The exact same car. It diminishes what he's done.
Giovanni
No, I got it. In this example, I'm Paris Hilton with the laptop.
Brian Bishop
No, you're the laptop.
Giovanni
I'm the laptop.
Brian Bishop
Yes.
Giovanni
Okay. I'm in the.
Brian Bishop
You've diminished what I've accomplished. All right, Andrew.
Giovanni
Understood.
Brian Bishop
Andrew is here. I love Andrew. Hello, Andrew. Hey.
Nate
How's it going?
Brian Bishop
Good.
Giovanni
He's a poker shark.
Brian Bishop
He's a sweet, sweet spirit. And I've said I love him because he has the same thing that my son has. Whenever I come into the other office and Andrew is one of the guys we make the movies with, I go, andrew. And he goes, yes. And he does it exactly same way my son does. And it's not because you sound alike. It's because you both have a good, nice spirit to you. All right, so Andrew, you've been working on the Newman doc. You're working on the next documentary, 24 Hour War. I got a stick, a memory stick. I think we're about 55 minutes into the next one.
Nate
Yeah. Just in the second hour.
Brian Bishop
All right.
Giovanni
Don't tell me who wins.
Brian Bishop
We got to talk about Andrew and his eating, but your overall impressions. Are you enjoying Yourself, you learning things?
Nate
Yeah, definitely. This was my first job really out of school. I moved here in October of 2013 and started in November of 2013.
Giovanni
Where from?
Nate
Beverly, Massachusetts.
Gina Grad
Huh?
Nate
Yeah, Right near Boston.
Brian Bishop
And on a. Now how's it like? You can be honest. Is it okay working with me?
Nate
Yeah, yeah, I enjoy it.
Gina Grad
I like the defeated gaze that goes with that question.
Brian Bishop
No, I think the general consensus is I'm a dick. I think that could just be my wife talking for other people.
Nate
I mean, not to me, I guess would be the thing. Maybe other people feel that way. Yeah.
Brian Bishop
Well, Andrew's one of the good ones, so he does not feel my wrath. But Andrew's over there with Nate and Brian, who's with a wise. Well who's also has a very bizarre palette. And they are working on the films. And I'm sort of busting in and out of there, giving a couple of lectures, notes, and then go mussing with the cars and then. And it's back out again and over here and back and forth all day. But Andrew's over there handling the business. Andrew, I started noticing, I realized that food is sort of the weather of today's conversation. Back in the day when you didn't have much to talk about with the stranger at the bus stop, you'd go, it's a nice day, huh? Oh, yeah. They say rain's coming.
Giovanni
Oh, we need.
Brian Bishop
We need it. We need it. You know, but for this time of year. Yeah, yeah. And like a lot of that. And I realized food has sort of taken that place. People talk about the Kobe beef food truck, or have you tried. Or do you like. And you find yourself. And then I think it's an attempt for human beings to bond. I don't think it's conscious. I think you just sit there and you go, have you tried a. Oh, yeah. Oh, no, I love that place. Oh, you eat there? I love that.
Giovanni
Well, how many meals do you eat alone? I mean, like dinners. You know what I mean? Like, it's a very social thing, either with a spouse or friends or whoever.
Brian Bishop
So started talking to Andrew. Now, Andrew, what do you eat for lunch? I mean, now you bring a lunch to work?
Nate
Yeah, I put like a Tupperware full of regular Cheerios and then I sprinkle in some frosted Cheerios to kind of mix it up.
Brian Bishop
And then well on the edge as he says it.
Nate
And then a tangerine with that.
Gina Grad
Do you wash it down with like a Gerber graduate?
Nate
I only drink water.
Brian Bishop
Got it. So I only drink water. Then we Started digging a little with Andrew, and I'd say, like, well, yeah, but you like cherries, don't you? Everyone likes cherries. And he'd go, I don't know. Never tried one. And I'd go, well, where do you come down on avocados? Guacamole. Never had. But it kept going. It kept going, right? Yeah.
Nate
There's a pretty long list, Right.
Brian Bishop
Andrew also does a thing which I will say, not as annoying as what Mike August does. When we go to the kebab place to eat lunch. He has to eat everything in its entirety. And then it's in order. Like, section by section, in order. So what I do, the best part about the kebab, to me, or just sort of life, is I get the piece of pita, I put the piece of skewered beef in it, Then I ladle on a little hummus. Then I grab a slice of tomato and some onion from the salad, and I fold the whole thing up.
Giovanni
Tzatziki.
Brian Bishop
Yeah. Into a little sleeping bag. And I take one big bite, attempting to get the proportions correct for all. Andrew eats his entire salad, then he eats every bit of white rice.
Giovanni
He courses out his boring meal, and.
Brian Bishop
Then he eats the beef skewers. But he does not take a bite of rice and a bite of beef. To me, peculiar. What do you say? Beef is too much all on its own. The bite of rice, it's nice to get a little carb in there, all broken up. Still, not as bad as what I just experienced with Mike August. I forgot he ordered, like, eggplant parmesan as a sort of appetizer for me and him before. Well, of course, Mike's great because we had a half hour to kill before doing a live show on the East Coast. So we walked down the street. It was snowing. We went into a little restaurant and Mike did the. Oh, we're not eating dinner. Cause we gotta do a show in 20 minutes and we already ate a ton of Polish food. Ten seconds later, he's got a huge plate of eggplant parmesan, and he's viciously cutting everything up in advance. And it's like he's scrambling it. It's a. It's a weird. Like, he's. It's weird. It's like he's giving his eggplant parm a lobotomy. Like, it's a lot of, like, very cutting. And I'm like, I wanted some too, Mike, but it feels like you've got your stink all over all of it. He had to Cut it all up. All it does is get cold quicker.
Giovanni
And if it's something like meat or chicken or whatever, it loses the juice. The juice spills out.
Brian Bishop
I don't know why he insists on this, but it's one of the many Mike things. So now Mike does that. Andrew eats everything in sequential order. But then we started talking about stuff like, well, what kind of burrito do you like? A beef burrito, chicken burrito, bean burrito. And Andrew would be like, never had a burrito. What? Have you ever had a burrito?
Nate
I've had, like, half of one.
Brian Bishop
It wasn't compelling enough to learn. If you took the number of burritos I've eaten and put them end to end, you could circumnavigate the globe. All right.
Giovanni
How old are you?
Nate
I'm 27.
Brian Bishop
Wow.
Gina Grad
Yeah, he's almost a superpower at this point.
Brian Bishop
He grew up on, like, banquet chicken strips and Kool Aid or something. Like, what would you eat? What was your thing?
Nate
Well, I had the same lunch for school every day from, like, first grade straight through 10th or 11th grade. And it was just saltines with a little bit of peanut butter in between. So two of those little sandwiches, a little thing of orange juice, and then a granola bar. So I ate that every day. My mom would just pack that for me every day.
Brian Bishop
The conversations we have, honestly, honestly with Andrew are when we go, you like the green olive or the black olive? Never tried an olive.
Adam Carolla
Wow.
Brian Bishop
When's the first time you've tried an olive?
Nate
Oh, it was when I was first working here, and we went to the Cuban place down the street.
Brian Bishop
That's your first olive?
Nate
Yeah, and it was an accident. I thought it was just maybe a large pea.
Brian Bishop
You're like Nell, like Jodie Foster's character. He's just a feral child. He's never seen an olive. I know.
Giovanni
I was batting it like a cat.
Brian Bishop
Would you put. Would you eat pizza?
Nate
Yeah, I eat pizza, but I take the cheese off.
Brian Bishop
Oh, that's right. Takes the best part off.
Gina Grad
Why do you hate food?
Giovanni
It's like fucking pizza bread.
Brian Bishop
He likes cheese but not melted cheese.
Nate
Yeah. I'll eat, like, a slice of American cheese.
Giovanni
That's understandable.
Brian Bishop
Yeah, you'll eat a slice of fake cheese, but it'll peel the real cheese off the pizza.
Giovanni
I see what appears to be a wedding ring on your hand. Are you, in fact, married? What did you serve at your wedding?
Nate
I ate steak. We had steak there.
Gina Grad
Look at you branching out.
Brian Bishop
I should tell you guys. Joe Coy and Mark Duplass and Jay Moore and Dana Gould and Vinny Tortorich are all coming up, by the way, on the show this week. Today, unfortunately, we just got stuck with Andrew. I went to. We're gonna. Now, Chris, are you gonna bring food out or what's your plan?
Adam Carolla
Yeah, we're gonna present Adam with the food and I mean Andrew with the food. And you were going to guess if he will eat it or not.
Brian Bishop
I spent. That's good pod like the whole evening at Anna Faris house last night doing her podcast, which was really, really interesting. And bought a little Mangria. Brought some Mangria. We got a little lubed up and then we started talking. You know, when people, you know, when people's characters are just who they are, comes pushing through, it's just Anna Fairs could not be anything else than an affair in real life. Yes. Super Anna Pharisees, super sweet, super kind, had a great time and I think that's gonna be available. It'll be out there pretty soon.
Giovanni
Is that technique?
Brian Bishop
No, I went and did her podcast. Yeah.
Gina Grad
Is it like theme oriented or is it just bullshitting back and forth?
Brian Bishop
It's a little relationship with some calls, but just some sort of general life discussion. But very, very interesting.
Giovanni
No exaggeration. Of all the very funny, talented female comedian, comedic actresses out there, she's number one for me. She's my favorite comedic actress.
Brian Bishop
Oh, well, I'll pass that along to her. Necessary speak to her. She is. And she's so. I don't mean sensitive in a negative way. Sonny's sensitive in a negative way? No, no, not in a negative way.
Giovanni
He's outside the room.
Brian Bishop
No. Are you kidding me? No. Sonny. We went for a walk today and there were a couple of dogs that were barking at us like through the bottom of the fence. It's always fun.
Giovanni
What do they want?
Brian Bishop
Father Dogs are funny because their snouts are 4 or 5 inches long. So they can kind of shove them through knotholes and under fences and stuff, channeling fences. And they can bark at you and be on your side of the Mason Dixon, but still be on their side of the line, you know. But it's weird. And anyway, at some point the gate pushed open and the two dogs wandered out and we'd stopped and. And I was walking Philly Cheesesteak and Sonny and Phil's. The dog's nuts. Like if a dog's barking at him, he lunges at him to play. Sure. He's a huge, you know, he's 80 pound puppy who wants to run at anything that's coming at him. And there's dogs like six months old or something. He's like five.
Giovanni
Yeah.
Brian Bishop
And the dog's growling and barking and he. Phil's lunging at him. And so I'm hanging on to Phil and we're up the street and these two dogs come wandering out of this corner house. And I know it's a nice guy who lives there because we went caroling this year.
Giovanni
That's right, that's right.
Brian Bishop
And that was one of the houses where Natalia was banging on the door. Nine, ten in the evening, by the way. I had to cut it off at a certain point and like he'd open the door and she's like caroling away. The guy turns up, be very friendly. His two dogs come out onto his lawn and next to the street. And Sonny stops and he goes, we gotta go to that house and we gotta go tell the owner that their dogs are out. And I said, yeah, but those dogs were just barking at us. And then if you come up the front doorway and ring the doorbell, those two dogs may go bananas on you. And he just. We were about 100ft away and he just stood in the street and he had insane concern about these two dogs. Why the owner should know what could possibly happen. At a certain point, we took a step toward the dogs and the dogs both barked at us as we took a step back toward the house. They didn't seem to want to leave the lawn. They weren't stepping out in the street. They were just staying on the lawn. They weren't runners and they weren't runners. And I just said, you know, Sonny, I got Philly here. I don't trust those dogs for you to go walking across their lawn to the front door without one of them nipping you. And he's like, yeah, but what if they go on the street? And then he said, well, the other street's a dead end, so if they go that way, there's no traffic at least. But he really just stood there in the street as a nine year old, wildly concerned, contemplating about someone he didn't know.
Giovanni
That's good instincts.
Brian Bishop
And two dogs he didn't know that were just barking at him. He just has that instinct. And Ana or aunt, well, it's weird. She's Aunt Santa.
Giovanni
I've heard on, oh, it's on, but.
Brian Bishop
I'm probably wrong anyway. Sweet. Totally sweet.
Gina Grad
She would have gone to that door too.
Brian Bishop
Completely sweet, yes. So that was kind of fun. Chris, her famous husband, was on location somewhere. So it was just the two of us. Yeah. It was fun. Yeah. So, Andrew. All right, here we go. Will Andrew eat it? Because he's picking his lunch. His plain Cheerios. Eats pizza without cheese because he eats.
Adam Carolla
Hot dogs from the middle out.
Brian Bishop
Must have a mental disease because he's. His taste buds are so he won't eat a pie because he's been dru. Eating is so weird. Like a toddler who is h. Pretty good. All right, nice. Thanks, Mike. I guess. And Dick Banks. All right, so Andrew's all over the road. Yes. He likes plain hot dogs. He really eats them from the middle.
Giovanni
Do you cut them and eat them from the middle or you like.
Nate
Yeah, it takes about two bites. Usually you just get it right from the middle and then I go out. Out towards the ends.
Gina Grad
Who hurt you? Why do you do that?
Nate
I just. I didn't used to eat the ends.
Brian Bishop
I didn't like the wrinkle part. He didn't like the wrinkled part and he didn't. And thank God you're not gay, because that'd be a disaster. Going down on the boyfriend. I don't eat the end. I start in the middle and I don't eat the end.
Giovanni
I don't eat the wrinkle part.
Brian Bishop
And we never. We used to play this with Angie back on the terrestrial radio days. And you just never know.
Giovanni
She would buck. One way that you expect her to go. She'd zig when you thought she would zag.
Brian Bishop
Mm. Sunny's in studio. Sonny, fix the collar and shirt.
Gina Grad
Ooh, he looks like.
Giovanni
We don't need this, do we?
Brian Bishop
All right, what do we. What do we got here? Will Andrew eat a hot wing? Ooh, a hot wing.
Gina Grad
I think it.
Brian Bishop
It's. It's.
Giovanni
Is there anything special about the hot wing? Is it. Is it a jalapeno? Is it?
Brian Bishop
No.
Gina Grad
I think the very fact that it's hot is going to turn him off.
Brian Bishop
He loves. And he's. You love watching football, right, Andrew?
Nate
Yep.
Brian Bishop
And obviously this is staple of football. Watching you come from a part of the country where hot wings are consumed quite often.
Giovanni
Bovada has a prop bet. How many wings will Buffalo Wild Wings sell this year? The over under is 12 million.
Brian Bishop
Wow. 12 million. I'm going to say no because it has the word hot in it as well. Yeah.
Giovanni
I say no. I think there's also an ickiness factor with it being on the bone.
Gina Grad
Oh, yeah. Yeah. Three nos.
Nate
I would not eat that.
Brian Bishop
Yeah. Hero Chris has it on a platter. Chris is bringing it in. Somebody's gotta Eat those. Oh, yeah. Oh, you will? All right, all right. Will Andrew eat celery? Ooh.
Gina Grad
Super plain, super bland. Has a weird crunch, though.
Brian Bishop
Now, another thing that he and Sonny share is if you take last night, Lynette's laid out in bed, I gotta handle dinner. There's some leftover McDonald's. So here come the chicken nuggets and the French fries that I heat up in the oven and then throw. What Sonny wanted was a handful of carrots on the plate. Sonny will eat the carrots first. Is there another nine year old or just human being that McDonald's french fries, McNuggets and then just plain carrots sitting next to it. Demolish the carrots first before you pick up one fry.
Giovanni
That might be a first in human history.
Brian Bishop
Yes. Sonny's that good. All right.
Nate
That's the way to do it.
Brian Bishop
Sonny. I know Andrew does. He does do vegetables.
Giovanni
I was gonna say, when it comes down to will he eat it? This is. Do you prefer it or, like, you won't touch it?
Brian Bishop
Yeah, I don't know. We can't define it that well. He just. He. I say he will eat it because it's tasteless. Now, he's not gonna like the part that it has fiber in it. Like, he's probably gonna go stringy.
Giovanni
But that's. The stringy thing jumped out of it.
Brian Bishop
But I think because it possesses no flavor, I say yes.
Gina Grad
I think the stringiness is going to completely turn him off. I'm going no.
Giovanni
I say no also because his history doesn't lean towards vegetables. Olives. So I say no.
Nate
I would eat it.
Brian Bishop
Damn it. Prove it.
Gina Grad
Eat it right now.
Brian Bishop
He wants to keep his job. Yeah. He does do vegetables. He does.
Giovanni
He's just.
Brian Bishop
Just like Sonny.
Giovanni
Damn it.
Brian Bishop
All right, I'm up. I got two zero. You guys. One and one, right?
Giovanni
That's right.
Brian Bishop
Yeah.
Giovanni
Oh, you have one up on us.
Brian Bishop
Here we go. Will Andrew eat a lay's classic potato chip?
Gina Grad
Now, who wouldn't eat a lay's classic chip?
Brian Bishop
Us. Andrew, as you may have figured out, is very bizarre when it comes to eating.
Gina Grad
And by the way, he has no tell. Look at that face.
Brian Bishop
Told you.
Giovanni
Master poker player.
Brian Bishop
Yeah, Just a regular potato chip. How can you not.
Giovanni
Yeah, it's on there for. I mean, unless it's on there to fool us is too salty.
Brian Bishop
I'm gonna say no.
Gina Grad
Ooh.
Giovanni
I'll say yes. I'm trying to get back in.
Gina Grad
I am, too. And I think he'll eat it.
Nate
I would not eat that.
Brian Bishop
Damn it. Why why?
Nate
It's not substantial enough. I like ruffle chips.
Brian Bishop
You like ruffles?
Nate
Yeah.
Giovanni
Discerning.
Nate
I haven't found a good ruffle in California yet, though.
Brian Bishop
Oh, really?
Gina Grad
It's not regional.
Brian Bishop
It's a water related thing or something. They're just.
Nate
They're too spread out. Like they're wavy more than ruffly.
Brian Bishop
Well, they have a different mold that they use in Connecticut.
Nate
Yeah, the Hannaford brand, if anybody out there wants to try it.
Brian Bishop
Oh, you got your own brand of ruffled chip. So it's not a lay's ruffled chip. Hold on a second. So let me just get this straight. The taste of the potato chip, you don't. It's too thin.
Nate
It's too thin.
Brian Bishop
Too weird. So you guys have to realize that melted cheese, guacamole things, textures and consistencies factor in heavily, like a child.
Giovanni
Yeah, but potato chip texture has never been a problem for anyone on this earth.
Gina Grad
Celery texture's horrible.
Brian Bishop
All right, well, let's see, Brian, this could be tough for you, and the answer is probably gonna be neither, but sun chip or Pringle?
Nate
I used to eat Pringles.
Brian Bishop
Kind of neither. Back in your experimental phase. Back when you're dropping a lot of peyote.
Gina Grad
It's a gateway channel.
Giovanni
It's a college thing.
Brian Bishop
You're following fish. Back then, it was a different life. Where he found Jesus and stopped eating prayers.
Giovanni
Cut his hair.
Nate
All right.
Brian Bishop
We'Re not making fun of you, Sonny. I mean, in general. Yes, but not specifically. Yes. Will Andrew eat pigs in a blanket? Ooh.
Gina Grad
Only from the middle.
Brian Bishop
Wow. He will eat a hot dog.
Gina Grad
I don't think he's gonna eat.
Brian Bishop
He will eat a hot dog. And he. By the way, the pig's in a blanket. I know you wouldn't put mustard on it, but with a dollop of that brown mustard on it is so delectable.
Giovanni
Chris, how many total foods do we have? Two more.
Brian Bishop
Two more.
Giovanni
I need to get close.
Gina Grad
He's so bothered by the ends of a hot dog, and there's really no way around it with a cocktail weenie.
Brian Bishop
It's a good point. But he. He does eat like a nine year old. Like, you have to kind of factor that in.
Giovanni
The chip just threw me for. Between the Chip and the Coen brothers, I don't know what to think.
Brian Bishop
I'm gonna say he does eat the pig in the blanket.
Giovanni
I think he does, too. But just to get in the game, I gotta say no.
Gina Grad
Logic tells us his own history tells us he doesn't eat it.
Nate
So, no, I would not eat that.
Gina Grad
Oh, wow.
Giovanni
Andrew, you beautiful weirdo.
Gina Grad
And is it because of the animal?
Nate
It's because of the blanket.
Gina Grad
Oh, my God. Just when you think he's gonna zig his ass every time.
Brian Bishop
All right, Sonny, relax over there. You're not Mike. Sonny Clark. Good instinct, that is. The blanket is just like a Pillsbury casserole, essentially.
Nate
Yeah. I'm not a fan of Pillsbury.
Gina Grad
Now, you tried the one from Hannah.
Brian Bishop
Now here's the one that's gonna freak you out to me. I have never had a bad crescent roll.
Giovanni
Sure, they're all the best.
Brian Bishop
Like, even if they're two days old, like, they're just the best.
Gina Grad
Flaky.
Brian Bishop
Do you like croissant?
Nate
No.
Giovanni
Oh, no way.
Brian Bishop
There's nothing exotic about it. It's just dough and butter.
Giovanni
Yeah, no, I would have an easy one.
Brian Bishop
It's a texture issue.
Nate
Yeah, I just. Not. I barely ever had them, too. It's a rare thing.
Brian Bishop
Okay. All right.
Giovanni
Amazing.
Brian Bishop
All right, our final food. Andrew, you should never, ever, ever travel. Never travel. Never even go to an area.
Nate
I went to Montreal and I lost, like, 30 pounds while I was there.
Brian Bishop
Wow.
Gina Grad
No poutine for you.
Brian Bishop
All right, the last one. Will Andrew eat tortilla chips? Ooh, just a pile of tortilla chips. All right, what's the score? I think I got one down. It's three to two. To two.
Giovanni
Ace, you're in the lead, so we gotta go. Opposite of you.
Gina Grad
I can't believe I'm saying this, but the tortilla chip might be too exotic for him.
Brian Bishop
I'm gonna go. Won't eat it.
Giovanni
Damn it. Yeah, because he's from Boston, I can't imagine he encountered tortilla chips as often as we do out here in California.
Gina Grad
Do we have to?
Giovanni
We have to if you want to be in the game.
Gina Grad
I'd like to be in the game.
Giovanni
All right, he will eat it. Damn it, I will eat this.
Brian Bishop
I knew it.
Nate
I requested rounds, but these will do.
Brian Bishop
Oh, he likes round the Tostitos. All right. Did we just end that whole thing in a tie? We do have a tie. Okay, tie. We have a tie, but we don't know if we have a tie breaker. Oh, Chris got a tiebreaker.
Giovanni
All right, Chris is on point.
Brian Bishop
Sonny, fix your collar. What'd you Driving daddy.
Giovanni
So his buttons are askew.
Gina Grad
He kind of has a James Spader thing going on right now. From the 80s.
Brian Bishop
Yeah. You should be smoking in a stairwell and explaining to me that that girl's not our kind. A conversation that I still submitted never has ever transpired in a high school where I'm banging a hot young chick and I got my buddy smoking with his popped collar going, what are you doing with that? And I'm like, having sex. Yeah. Have you seen her dad's house? No, I'm too busy staring at my ceiling through her hair.
Giovanni
He drives a domestic car.
Brian Bishop
Yeah, okay. It's a great sort of 80s premise, but the reality is I didn't know who had anything in high school. It was just, that chick's hot and that chick's not. That's all it ever was. Yeah, but it's all that matters. I went by her dad's place at noon the other day. He was in his bathroom. Okay, so he's not really our kind. That's sad. All right, what do we got? It's a tiebreaker. Will Andrew eat popcorn?
Gina Grad
Oh, my God.
Brian Bishop
All right. God damn, Andrew. Super Bowl's coming up today. You're just going to sit in front of the TV set, pull up a nice piece of Styrofoam, and just nibble on it while you, while you watch.
Nate
The game, might have some ice cream.
Brian Bishop
Oh, ice cream. That's right. The most insane thing is when I walk into the office and I get tag teamed by him and Brian and I'm like, you don't like pie? And they both start getting defensive. Like, what is there to like about pie? And I'll go like, well, how about cake? We. What do you need cake for? Who needs cake? I don't get cake. And then I'm the insane person standing in between the two people. They're like, we have donuts and ice cream. What do we need cake for? No pie. You like Zero pie?
Nate
Zero pie?
Brian Bishop
Just for fun. Apple pie?
Nate
Nope.
Brian Bishop
Pumpkin pie?
Nate
Oh, definitely not.
Brian Bishop
Oh, definitely not. Banana cream. No chocolate cream pie.
Giovanni
Just pudding.
Nate
That would be the. If I had, you know, Gundam, I'd go that way.
Brian Bishop
Cake.
Nate
I like vanilla cake.
Brian Bishop
Of course you don't.
Nate
Vanilla cake with vanilla frosting.
Brian Bishop
Cheat. The worst. The cake. That is the lowest on the cake totem pole for me.
Giovanni
What do you consider the most exotic food you like? Like, if you're going crazy?
Nate
Well, we do Fun Fridays and we have milkshakes.
Joel McHale
Oh, my God.
Nate
That's not too.
Brian Bishop
I thought I put an end to Fun Friday.
Nate
Simon's keeping him alive.
Brian Bishop
Oh, no. Simon's editing. Damn him.
Gina Grad
All right.
Giovanni
Popcorn.
Nate
Nothing.
Brian Bishop
Can we. Can we implement at least if we're going to keep Fun Friday, I employ all these guys over there at the building. They're having a good time over there on Friday. Can we at least get back to my miserable Wednesdays to offset the fun Friday? Let's at least go back to that. I feel like. I feel like you guys have dropped the ball on my miserable Wednesdays. Yeah. The greatest thing with Andrew is on his birthday to head to Denny's. Get the. Should we go on Nate. We go on Nate's birthday to Denny's. Yeah.
Nate
Yep. And mine. Yeah.
Gina Grad
What'd you get? Moon's over my hammy.
Nate
I could just get a hamburger.
Gina Grad
Just a hamburger.
Nate
Just meat in the bun.
Brian Bishop
No. No cheese. No lettuce. No onion.
Nate
No.
Giovanni
Ketchup?
Gina Grad
No ketchup.
Nate
No.
Brian Bishop
Wow. That's the birthday meal. All right. What do we got in there? I can't even see in there.
Gina Grad
Just white. Plain white popcorn.
Brian Bishop
I'm just gonna say no. I don't know how we break this tie.
Gina Grad
All right, we're going. Yes.
Nate
It's not smart food, right?
Brian Bishop
What?
Nate
Okay, then, yeah, I'll eat it.
Brian Bishop
Okay. You guys share your victory. All right.
Gina Grad
I have so many questions for you, Andrew.
Brian Bishop
That's what Andrew will eat. How's the 24 hour war going, Andrew? The next doc I know, Nate's getting ready to head off to Italy and england. Interview. Like Ferrari's bastard son.
Giovanni
Bastardo.
Brian Bishop
Yeah. Who ran the company for a while. That's coming up, right?
Nate
Yeah. In about two weeks, I think he leaves. Yeah. And so that'll be good. Because that's kind of the perspective we're missing at this point. Is Ferrari's side of everything.
Brian Bishop
Yeah. This is Ferrari and Ford at le mans, the big battle that took place in the 60s. All right, so I'm going to go home actually tonight and I'll watch the 55 minutes that you guys have whacked.
Giovanni
Together after Kimmel super bowl party. Oh, boy. I have some notes.
Brian Bishop
Andrew, you didn't mind my notes, did you?
Nate
No, no. It helps improve things.
Brian Bishop
Oh, look at that. Look at that. But true. I would show up every Monday with my yellow notepad, Go over a ton of shit that we need to fix. But I don't think any of it was out of the question or bizarre or just because. Right.
Giovanni
I was gonna say, Andrew, edit out all the pink elephants.
Brian Bishop
It made the process, the product better in the big picture. Yeah, yeah.
Nate
It's always helpful to get the notes and know what needs to be improved and everything.
Brian Bishop
All right. Andrew's got the kind of attitude that everyone should have. I love this kid. All right, get out of here. You're sick of me.
Giovanni
That was Adam Kulishow, 1752.
Brian Bishop
The very first.
Giovanni
Will Andrew eat it? Coming up next, we have Adam Colishow, 2144. Ian Gervitz, Vinny Tordrich, Gina Grad, Brian Bishop from August of 2017. Check it out.
Brian Bishop
We watched three or four Stallone. How many Stallone movies did we watch? Are you serious? We watched Driven and what we do that night. What's his name? Who did that movie with him? We didn't see over the Top. We saw Cliffhanger, Driven and Specialist. God, Specialist. The specialist. Sorry. I met Stallone because of Driven, and it was the same night I met the guy from the Stones. Mick Jagger. Was Mick Jagger in a movie?
Gina Grad
Stones?
Brian Bishop
No, Mick Jagger was in another movie.
Giovanni
Knocks him out.
Brian Bishop
Harlan. Whatever. Something. Harland did that. He was in a movie. He was in a movie that Emilio Estevez was in about racing a car. Maximum Overdrive is a movie about, like, a haunted semi truck with Emilio Estevez as well.
Giovanni
Oh, he's in both those?
Brian Bishop
Yeah. Now you gotta look it up. He did one where he was a race car driver. He took off, he went sailing in the air, and he hit the bridge. It went over the top. But right before he did, he went to heaven or purgatory or something like that. And I think Mick Jagger was in that one. Maximum Overdrive was another.
Giovanni
Free Jack. I was going to say Free Jack, and you're right.
Adam Carolla
Mick Jagger was in it.
Brian Bishop
The other one. Can you believe I was a horrible student? I can believe that I was a mediocre student. But these are both racing. I always thought they're the same movie. Maximum Overdrive is a huge, possessed, like, clown truck. I don't even know how you'd. How would you describe Maximum Overdrive? A possessed truck takes hold of a young couple.
Gina Grad
Like, I. I think you're the only one who can just.
Brian Bishop
Gary, get the description. It's a horrible movie. Get the description for Killdozer. While we're at it, see if there shouldn't be a lawsuit.
Giovanni
Oh, it's Steven.
Brian Bishop
It's. Oh.
Giovanni
Directed and written by Stephen King. Maximum hour drive. A group of people try to survive when machines start to come alive and become homicidal.
Brian Bishop
Right.
Gina Grad
Wait, was this before? After Christine.
Adam Carolla
A little bit longer.
Giovanni
That's just imd.
Brian Bishop
Oh, it's got a longer Maximum Overdrive.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, the.
Brian Bishop
All right.
Adam Carolla
After a comet causes radiation. Causes a radiation storm on Earth, machines come to life and turn against their makers. Holed up in a North Carolina truck stop, a Group of survivors must fend for themselves against a mass of homicidal trucks. A diner cook, Bill Robinson, emerges as the unlikely leader of the pack, attempting to find an escape plan for himself and the survivors, who include his boss, Bubba Hendershire, and a newlywed couple.
Giovanni
Based on a true story.
Brian Bishop
Now we need the one where he was a race car driver with Mick Jagger. And then we'll also need a description of Killdozer, which is almost exactly the same. That's aliens possess a bulldozer. My question is.
Giovanni
I was at.
Brian Bishop
Sorry.
Giovanni
I was at a birthday party for.
Brian Bishop
A guy named Rennie Harlan. Sure. Who did Driven. We saw Cliffhanger too, right? Yeah. Sly blames Rennie for that, by the way. For Cliffhanger. For Driven. He said that Driven was going to be good.
Giovanni
Rennie has a checker.
Brian Bishop
But that's when that was my meeting. You know, one of my clients took me to Rennie's birthday party as a tag along, and I met Stallone and I met Mick Jagger, and I met all these. But I can't figure out why Mick was there. There was a lot of celebrities there. I think Mick was there because Stallone was there because Rennie was there, and they were there because you're millionaires. Yeah. All right, so. So moments ago. Moments ago, I was over at the other shop, and it turned out that a fella, elderly gentleman by the name of Ron Rice wanted to come by and see a couple cars. Who is Ron Rice?
Giovanni
Who punched his girlfriend out in the elevator?
Brian Bishop
That's right.
Giovanni
Been back in the NFL.
Brian Bishop
Yeah. This guy probably a little Lesser Rice and more run. He is the founder of Hawaiian Tropic Suntan Lotion.
Chris Kattan
Wow.
Brian Bishop
And this guy was quite the partier in the 70s and 80s. Liked to travel around and be with the ladies on research trips to the islands. Yes. And enjoy himself.
Gina Grad
Cocoa butter.
Brian Bishop
And right in the middle of the Newman dock. It's 10 minutes of him and his car and his bikini clad chicks at Le Mans. And the chicks are walking around in their bikinis and the car's there and Paul Newman's there and Hawaiian tropics all over the car. It's a Hawaiian Tropic car, and he's an older guy. And I think someone just thought he'd get a kick coming and seeing his car in the flesh put back after many, many paint jobs and many different liveries and sponsors, as the aforementioned. It was the apple car sponsorship. Right after it went to. His car went to Le Mans. Came in second, first in his class. Then it went to Watkins Glen with Newman driving again, did a six hour endurance race and came in second again. Funny story. I think Bobby Rahal, who's a real professional driver and real fast, was going around it, going around Watkins Glen, and I think he was probably doing a lap, you know, five, eight seconds faster than Newman. And when you're doing an endurance race, you got to have both guys going pretty fast because you put the other guy in the car and then you lose a bunch of. It's kind of like a relay race where maybe put your fastest guy at the end and maybe your fastest guy at the beginning, but the two guys in the middle got to be able to run. And at some point, I think Newman was just kind of off the pace. And it's a tough car and a tough track and stuff like that. And I think Bobby Rahal just said, or Newman said, like, I gotta get around the track with you driving. I gotta see what you're doing, where your RPMs are, where you're shifting. Like, how are you turning in on these corners? Like, it's really helpful to ride shotgun with a guy who's driving hard in a real fast car. And Bobby Rahel's real fast, but they don't have a passenger seat, so. So Newman sits on a milk crate. Safe crate sits on a milk crate, like hangs on. And Bobby Rahal just goes balls out on a big fast track in a 9:35, which is simpler in that same car. You have same car, simpler, simpler times. You know what I mean? They would not let. You can never do that today. You could never do that today. But a milk crate was the weapon of choice for your guy who had the hot rod and no passenger seat. The milk crate is what was perfect for about sitting on and sort of hanging onto the dash.
Adam Carolla
Nuts.
Brian Bishop
Anyway, Ron Rice a half hour ago was over at the other thing and I said, adam, show the old guy the old car. Let him see it, you know, for the last time probably, and get his thoughts and observations and whatever. And he came in and he had his crew, you know, his guys with him from Hawaiian traffic, and they were like looking at the car and he said, oh, they always make this comment, which is, it looks better now than it ever did back then. Which is kind of true. When they respond, store them, they make them nicer back then. They're just race cars. Nobody cares. You get beat up, they don't care. So it does that goes on about it talks a little about remembering the car and going to Le Mans, blah, blah, blah, blah, Newman, blah, blah, Blah. And I went to Watkins, Glenn, blah, blah. And then I did this. You know, we featured your car in this documentary we made. Oh, boy.
Giovanni
He said, I've seen it five times.
Brian Bishop
Have you seen it? He's like, no, haven't seen it. And then I was like, all right, he's 80. I don't know. The two guys are with him that were his crew, his posse. They're like 50 year old guys. Like, have you guys seen it? No, we have not. And it's like, I wish I had a pencil just to break. All right, you know what?
Giovanni
I should keep one.
Brian Bishop
No, I don't want him to let me see it. I'm gonna tuck it between my ass cheeks. And Vinnie's gonna coach me up so I can just. And over here. What's that snapping sound now? Then I'll just keep a pencil. So when I go. Hold on, before you answer with the doc, let me just. There you go. All right. Did you see my documentary? Person whose car was in the middle of my documentary with your bikini girls down on the track. And who knows, maybe even you in some of the shots.
Gina Grad
I haven't caught that.
Brian Bishop
That would be it. It's weird, right? It's so weird. It doesn't look, it's not for me. Like, I. I get the part where, you know, you didn't make a contribution to my charity or whatever. Like, okay, I don't want to give you money or whatever, but how do you not. How is. How does. This is your car. There's a big segment right in the middle of it of Le Mans, your car and Newman and why wouldn't this be the funnest Saturday night of your life?
Giovanni
I used to have this similar opinion when, like, remember when the movie W came out with Oliver Stone? His movie out George W. Bush with Josh Brolin and all that. And they asked the president at the time, George Bush, like, are you going to see this movie? Do you have interest? No. No interest in seeing it. Never going to see it. And I was like, that's just BS Posturing. He's going to see it whether or not the guy has an agenda. Someone made a movie about you with like major Hollywood stars. You're going to see it just to see what's it now. The more I hear about these stories, I'm like, maybe.
Gina Grad
Maybe you have no clue.
Giovanni
Maybe he's not going to see it.
Brian Bishop
Some of it is a generational thing.
Giovanni
I understand.
Brian Bishop
I don't think there's anyone who's born now who wouldn't go Yeah, I mean, about themselves. Anything about themselves. Some. There's an old guy thing where it's just like, well, that's what it is.
Giovanni
I'll be on the ranch.
Brian Bishop
It's like, yeah, it's like you talk to guys who fought and battle the bulge, and they don't want to talk about it. You know, they didn't talk. Not much to say. Flew a Corsair. What else? Like, huh? Why weren't you talking about this, Grandpa? So there's that, but a slight modification because as a person who's been on the losing end of the. Hey, the HuffPo guys were talking about you or whatever. I know what it is. Like, I don't even want to see it. It's not that they're saying bad things, is that they'll say a bunch of things that you know are false and that'll get you frustrated. Like, not upset, frustrated, like, no, I didn't say that or, no, you misconstrued that or whatever it is. I think the Bushes of the world, old guy meets. I don't want to see me looking like an ass. And with a. Probably with an element of. I don't want to give that whoring coke fiend Oliver Stone, who I'm a big fan of, by the way. I don't want to give the satisfaction. And a little Laura Bush going, sweetie, don't.
Gina Grad
You might want to skip this one.
Brian Bishop
You got 28 years of sobriety. Do you really want to.
Giovanni
You want to mess with that?
Brian Bishop
Yeah, I think there's an element this I don't get. There's no downside to me going, oliver Stone made a glowing. He wrote you a love letter. He wrote you a love letter. And you can. It'll. You can see it on your computer for $3. Sorry. Any. This is basically a documentary documenting part of what this guy was part of. Right. The Hawaiian Tropic guy. So you would think for that reason alone, someone would bring it up. But in stark contrast, I saw it when you guys did the premiere. I appreciate you guys invited me, and I loved watching it.
Giovanni
I was flying back from England a.
Brian Bishop
Couple of weeks ago. It was on Virgin, and I'm flipping through the thousand. Oh, let me. Let me just give it another 15 minutes and watch the entire thing again. And got more options of it that you don't see the first time. You should start selling coconut oil that one puts on their body instead of one in chest. And I would be a lot better off. And yeah, I don't know what's worse. The 30 year automotive journalist who'd never heard of either movie. Or the guy who runs Hawaiian traffic not seeing this. And then their friends, whoever's around them, like, goes, you've got to see this.
Giovanni
Yeah, they're all pretty bad. The journalist is worse. Number one, it's his professional semi obligation. Number two, the old guy. You're right. This generational thing. Maybe just he doesn't watch movies. Maybe he doesn't have a DVD player.
Brian Bishop
No way. I brought.
Gina Grad
It's not like it's a mobisode on his phone.
Brian Bishop
Yeah, and he told me. Yeah, he said it better be as good as Maximum Overdrive. Which is worse. The automotive journalist never saying the 24 hour war. Or Angie Fitzsimmons never hearing the Stone song. Angie. Yes. That used to drive me nuts. Where people had a song about them and never heard that song about them. Now they would always play the age card where they'd go, I was three when that song came out. Or I wasn't born when that song came out. Right, but what about your uncles? Your uncles were supposed to sing that. Especially when it's all over the radio and a big hit back in the day. All right, what is the storyline for Killdozer? And then the Mick Jagger. Emilio Estevez goes through pergamum. Oh, I think. I think Mick Jagger needed his body or something.
Giovanni
Okay.
Adam Carolla
All right, we'll do Killdozer first. Construction workers building an airstrip on a small Pacific island encounter an ancient non material life form which has lived in the ruins of an ancient temple for millennia. The entity is, of course, malevolent and commanders are Earth Commandeer.
Brian Bishop
Sorry.
Adam Carolla
The Earth moving equipment to the general detriment of all concerned.
Giovanni
Philip versus life.
Gina Grad
That poster is amazing.
Brian Bishop
And it says Bob Yerik in there.
Gina Grad
It says, everybody knows a machine cannot kill except the machine.
Giovanni
That's a good tagline.
Gina Grad
And no contractions.
Brian Bishop
Nice. All right.
Adam Carolla
Free Jack.
Brian Bishop
Free Jack.
Adam Carolla
Early in the 21st century technological advancements.
Brian Bishop
A young Brian makes his way to the. To the Baja.
Giovanni
I'll be right back.
Brian Bishop
To the Gulf of Mexico. Sorry.
Adam Carolla
Technological advances have made it possible for aging wealthy people to pay crooks like Vicindak. That's Mick Jagger's character. To go back in time, kidnap young victims like race car driver Alex Furlong and deliver them to the elderly clients who have their brains transplanted into the healthy bodies. Brian Moonlight Furlong manages to break free from his captors. But as a fugitive, he finds that the world of the future is a bleak, dangerous place.
Gina Grad
Wait, do you think Jordan Peele saw this movie? Because that sounds an awful lot like get out.
Brian Bishop
Oh, well, it kind of goes to show, whether it's Killdozer and Maximum Overdrive and this and, you know, get out, there's no real new idea. Much better execution of the same idea.
Gina Grad
Jury's out.
Giovanni
Well put.
Brian Bishop
Yes, jury's still out.
Giovanni
Free Jack.
Brian Bishop
All right, let's do. All right.
Gina Grad
And by the way, I'm taking a.
Brian Bishop
Phone call here, but don't say it yet. Gabriel, let's all take a guess on free Jack circa 1988 or. Yeah, let's all take a rotten time out. 89.
Giovanni
88.
Brian Bishop
92.
Adam Carolla
He's right. It is 92.
Brian Bishop
92. All right. Maximum Overdrive was a. Was a. Oh, no, wait a minute. Free Jack. Free Jack. Free Jack. Free Jack was a big released movie.
Giovanni
Yes, it was.
Brian Bishop
I was just. Remember seeing commercials all over the place.
Giovanni
Post signs of the lamps.
Brian Bishop
Right. It was horrible. And for. For that reason, I say 22.
Giovanni
I said 28. And I'll bet I'm over. I'll bet it's too high.
Gina Grad
I said 21 9.
Brian Bishop
Ooh.
Gina Grad
Mean.
Brian Bishop
Mm. Hold on.
Adam Carolla
Let me give Dawson the score so he can do this.
Brian Bishop
Correct.
Giovanni
Yeah.
Gina Grad
By the way, which movie did Stephen King write?
Giovanni
That was Maximiliano.
Gina Grad
Okay, so Christine was from 1983. So he was, like, on a. That was kind of his thing.
Brian Bishop
No, Christine was before that.
Gina Grad
No, I looked it up. Well, the movie was 83, and he.
Brian Bishop
Did Cujo, too, which was the reverse. It was somebody stuck in their car while this was outside the car. These people are stuck in a diner while the cars are outside. Right. Even he ripped himself off.
Giovanni
I'm kind of against remakes philosophically, but Cujo should be remade because they had a lot of limitations with that dog. Like, they couldn't, like, have the woman attacking the dog. But now with cgi, you can have a pretty vicious movie.
Gina Grad
PETA won't like that.
Brian Bishop
Cgi. They don't care because it. It forces people to attack St. Bernard.
Giovanni
Inspires.
Brian Bishop
It inspires them to attack St. Bernard. There'll be a rash if St. Bernard attacks. Yes. All right. Free Jack is rotten. We'll find out. How rotten is it? Adam and Gina, you guys were pretty close. You're only eight away. Gina, you edged Adam out with seven away. That leaves Vinnie and Brian. And Thankful Brian lost. He got the worst score. 14 away with Free Jack coming in at 14. Wow. Final score of 5. Wow. Finally I beat Brian. I got so close last time.
Adam Carolla
And I believe we. We have an award for the winner.
Brian Bishop
Oh, we do. Yeah, well, that. And who even knew Vinnie was going to win this thing? But we got you an award, everybody. Vinny on the beach. Serve it up high. Get your paella, people. It's a beautiful plate. Let me describe what's on the plate. I was the ceramics major, so I know how difficult this can be. Hold it up to the VR camera there. Vinny Tortorich is featured from the 80s in Full Glaze and ceramic on a.
Giovanni
Plate that's not glaze shell.
Brian Bishop
The very tactical usage of the conch shell. And put in front of the grind. Somebody put that picture on a plate.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, that was a fan.
Brian Bishop
Where did it come from?
Adam Carolla
I was a fan. Steve Owens. So shout out to him.
Brian Bishop
I will eat out of this plate for the rest of my life every day.
Giovanni
That'll get most people to eat less.
Brian Bishop
You can say hi to him@gayflatware.com. that's fantastic. I had this weird thing, which is, you guys, tell me where you would have been at with this. For some reason, when I was, like, in high school, I had a magazine called Cult Roundup. It was a gay magazine. Now, I'm assuming.
Giovanni
I don't know where this is going.
Brian Bishop
I'm assuming one of my buddies brought it over to goof on me or something. But it was called Cult Roundup, and I couldn't throw it away because it was pornography. And even though it was gay pornography, it was pornography still. Pizza first. And I couldn't throw away. I took an oath not to ever throw away pornography.
Giovanni
It has some value.
Brian Bishop
But I found it so amusing because it was a weird thing. It wasn't a big magazine. It was kind of like a pamphlet or something on a very special episode.
Giovanni
Of the Adam Crowley.
Brian Bishop
It had a lot of dog. And the thing that was always funny, I'd never really seen it, but the thing about the dudes with the pornography is when chicks. When we see chicks naked, like, if you're. We want to see chicks naked, we tell them, you know, get your titties out and lay down and let's take a picture one second. Or just stand here and we'll take some pictures of you. Or, you know, put this lacy thing on and lean against this hot rod and we'll take a picture of you. Dudes are working. Dudes are like, he's a fireman, and he's got his boots on his helmet. He's all greased up and everything. He's. He's taking a hose. He's like. He's working it, but he's shots yeah, like he's, he's bailing hay, but he's nude. You know, he's like, they put him in a work setting because I think dudes are like, I don't want to see some lazy guy like laying around on a chiffon. Yeah. I want to see a dude. Dude. I've had chicks, he's a dude dude. All right. All female strippers just come out as whores. Like they just go, I'm a stripper, I'm gonna come out next to nothing and then I'll be in nothing. Dudes have professions.
Gina Grad
Yes.
Brian Bishop
They're a cop, he's a fireman, he's a school principal or whatever. They got these jobs because that's part of the allures. You don't want the guy without a gig. You don't wanna see his dork. You wanna see a guy with a. Part of the excitement is the guy's gotta have a gig.
Giovanni
What kind of provider is he?
Brian Bishop
Exactly.
Gina Grad
Exactly.
Brian Bishop
So I would look at this thing.
Giovanni
Provide pants for himself.
Brian Bishop
And the thing that was funny is all the dudes, like I said, just like in the barn working, you know, but, but, but naked and chubbed up, you know, like, oh, hi there, what are you doing? Or just a little. They'd always, they'd always chub up. They wouldn't go full on, at least in Cult Roundup. And they would be, yeah, it'd be like, oh, hey there, some hay and it's hot.
Giovanni
I was having a mildly sexual thought, Henry.
Brian Bishop
Yeah. And I didn't want to sweat through my shirt, pants and underwear.
Giovanni
So I don't want to ruin another set of.
Brian Bishop
Well, let me ask you. So they'd be working on cars and they'd be bailing hay and they'd be like, at work, but nude. Sounds awesome. Chubbed up and kind of greased up a little. But here's the thing, and maybe it was my, you know, 17, 18 year old sense of humor. I didn't know I had a sense of humor back then, but it always made me laugh. There was one dude in all the dudes that were naked who was wearing a Hawaiian shirt. Puka shells, looked like Dave Coulier put on just a couple of pounds. And it just said. It was a headshot and it said Clay under it. Like, hey, I'm Clay and over here there's a guy named Toby. But his dorks hanging out. But Clay just thought he was so good looking.
Gina Grad
Clay doesn't need to dig out.
Brian Bishop
It's just literally a headshot. It was so weird. I was like, I always wanted to talk to Clay. Like, did your dad publish this? Or how'd you pull this up? You're not even really that good looking. But even if you were as attractive as Toby, I still care. I don't know, Vinny. I'm not gay. Well, you have the gay magazine. I've never seen it. I don't even look that way. I'm staring at cock. Oh, okay. Well, that's not gay. Yeah, of course, I had it all backwards. Now I have this thing and it's funny to me and it's pornography and I can't throw it away. Sure. But I don't really want to leave it out. Like I'm living in a garage and then my dad wanders in there once in a while. Like, I don't want him. He already found Ray. Ray took a huge dump inside of my door. Just like, just on the swatch of carpet. We didn't have a floor mat, not even a welcome mat. But inside we had a piece of carpet square that we tore up from some other part of the house that you know, can't throw it away. It's 17 year old carpet. You can't throw it away. So you cut a square and you set it by the door. Ray took a dump on that. My dad found that picture.
Giovanni
How disappointed your dad was when you shaved your head into a mohawk. Imagine when he comes across the cold Roundup.
Brian Bishop
He was for that. He just said, good luck getting a job.
Giovanni
But it was his biggest expression of.
Brian Bishop
It was. And I do remember at some point the cult Roundup had been moved from. I slid it. I had a chair in there with a pillow on it. I think I slid it under the thing and had been moved. Which meant my stepdad, my stepmom or my dad found. They never said anything about it.
Gina Grad
That makes it worse.
Brian Bishop
I think they just assumed I was there with my buddies defecating and struggling with my sexuality or something. Can you find Cult Roundup, Gary?
Adam Carolla
This is the closest thing that we've found, but I don't think it's the exact right issue.
Brian Bishop
All right, well, yeah, this one is a little less magazine and.
Gina Grad
Oh, hello gay.
Brian Bishop
So this is just called Roundup, but we don't have a.
Gina Grad
It's the gay and lesbian Western magazine. The cowboys of photography, Jim Window.
Brian Bishop
Yeah, he's got Stallone, Ray Bans on. Try Blue Boy. Honcho. I mean, what? That's the only one I ever saw.
Gina Grad
All right, wait a second.
Brian Bishop
Yeah.
Gina Grad
Why do you know what Honcho is I don't know.
Brian Bishop
I'm a comedian. I'm supposed to know everything. That's not an answer. How dare you?
Gina Grad
They always had the biggest float in the Pride parade in New York. Honcho.
Brian Bishop
I did the gay Pride Parade with Jimmy.
Gina Grad
There's Honcho.
Brian Bishop
Yeah, it was great. Great.
Giovanni
Those fellas sure are good friends.
Brian Bishop
There's a lot of controversy when we were on a Kevin and Bean float and I had the. Jimmy wanted to put on the float, hello, gays. And I remember our program director's like, no, you can't do that. He's like, why does it gay prayed and we're saying hello to the gays.
Gina Grad
He's like, salutation.
Brian Bishop
No, you can't do that. I was like, why? I always like it when smart people have to play kind of stupid when I'm saying hi to the gays.
Giovanni
Give me one good reason. All right, this is Adam Kollo Show 2144. Coming up next, we have Adam Krillo Show 118 featuring Chris Kattan from July of 2009. Check it out.
Chris Kattan
I heard that Johnny Depp was gonna be fatty at one point.
Brian Bishop
Really? Yeah.
Chris Kattan
Because the book Ifatty. Have you heard of that book? That's the great. That's the best story about him, apparently.
Brian Bishop
I saw the miniseries I Fattius in the seventies.
Chris Kattan
That's I, Claudia.
Brian Bishop
Oh, okay, then I'm confused.
Chris Kattan
That's from the makers of Paprika.
Brian Bishop
Paprika. Chili Relano.
Chris Kattan
Chili Relano. I didn't pronounce that right.
Brian Bishop
So we didn't. So we haven't started shooting the Fatty Arbuckle.
Chris Kattan
We haven't shot that. We have finished the Bollywood Hero and it came out awesome. And it's good. I would be like. It's one of those things you ever, like, do something that you're actually proud of and you're not. Like, where people weren't, you know, like, we're doing the. You know, we're doing this press stuff now and.
Brian Bishop
Right.
Chris Kattan
There's no, like, key points to hit or something. Like, it's nice to actually ask something that you feel like. I'm so happy how this came out.
Brian Bishop
Well, yeah.
Chris Kattan
And everyone seems to like it. It's like, better than, like, you know.
Brian Bishop
You don't have to do a lot of the. You know, you're proud of it when you don't have to do a lot of that preamble where you go, I was just a gun for hire. I was involved with the writing. Right. Of it.
Chris Kattan
Exactly.
Brian Bishop
You know, I came on to the project later. Right. Like, already been developed. So you lay all this out. That basically says, I'm not really.
Chris Kattan
Yeah.
Brian Bishop
Or like, anything to do with this. We had a great.
Chris Kattan
We had fun.
Brian Bishop
It was fun.
Chris Kattan
Oh, we had fun time. Oh, we just. We just wing it. Oh, we did it.
Brian Bishop
Yeah.
Chris Kattan
We're just having a great time, you.
Brian Bishop
Know, because we feel like if we're having a good time, that really translates through the camera, which it never really never does.
Chris Kattan
Then you were, like, stuck with a six hour version of a movie and you're trying to find what happened.
Brian Bishop
I always like when people say, though, when you stop having fun, it's time to quit. And they always do that? Yeah, they always do that with athletes.
Chris Kattan
Yeah.
Brian Bishop
Like, they'll be like, well, I knew it was time to hang up the cleats because, you know, just wasn't fun out there. Really. How about the $18 million a year for working four months out of the year? That sounds okay to me. I feel like I could just grit my teeth and get through that for a few more seasons. By the way, what else do you get to quit when you stop having fun? Like, I'm gonna go home and tell my wife and kids, hey, listen, this is just. I'm out of here.
Chris Kattan
There's a level of fun.
Brian Bishop
I'm not having fun. You're not having the kind of fun I thought I'd have.
Chris Kattan
I'm out of this family.
Brian Bishop
I'm gonna go. I should have done that when I was swinging a hammer. I should have gone to my foreman and said, you know what? I'm up on the roof. It's August. We're in Chatsworth. I'm not having fun.
Chris Kattan
Chatsworth, by the way, Way is not a bad place.
Brian Bishop
It's hot.
Chris Kattan
It's better.
Brian Bishop
It is in August. It's too hot.
Chris Kattan
Why Chatsworth? Why did you just.
Brian Bishop
Are you.
Chris Kattan
Were you born and raised? Where were you born and raised?
Brian Bishop
I was born and raised in Hungaria.
Chris Kattan
That's.
Brian Bishop
No, I was born and raised in North Hollywood.
Chris Kattan
You were. Okay.
Brian Bishop
Beautiful North Hollywood, which is.
Chris Kattan
That's near Chatsworth.
Brian Bishop
Picturesque North Hollywood, which is very close to where you were born in Sherman. And this is in the Valley. The one that the Zappa gal sung about.
Chris Kattan
Frank Zappa? No, Moon Zappa.
Brian Bishop
Dweezel. Moon Zappa.
Chris Kattan
Is it Moon or Dweezil?
Brian Bishop
Dweezil. Moon Unit and Ahmed. And then there's another one with a scarier name, too.
Chris Kattan
Yeah, like.
Brian Bishop
Like. But she sung this Valley. When we talk about the Valley, that's the Valley. They're singing about sort of fast times in Ridgemont High. Valley.
Chris Kattan
That was the best valley.
Brian Bishop
I worked in Chatsworth. I. I worked for a contractor in Chatsworth.
Chris Kattan
Oh, that's why you said the.
Brian Bishop
I've been on many roofs.
Chris Kattan
It's funny you mentioned something that you were.
Brian Bishop
Well, you know, you go for what.
Chris Kattan
You know, so it just comes out that way.
Brian Bishop
So now can we talk about your personal life?
Chris Kattan
If you want to.
Brian Bishop
You married?
Chris Kattan
I was married. And then kids?
Brian Bishop
Kids?
Chris Kattan
No, I don't have kids.
Brian Bishop
No kids. Married? I have twins.
Chris Kattan
I'm not married. I was married and then I was married.
Brian Bishop
You were married and then you were married?
Chris Kattan
I was. Is that what I said?
Brian Bishop
Yeah.
Chris Kattan
Yeah, it is what I said.
Brian Bishop
You were married, then you were married.
Chris Kattan
We can't rewind anything, can we? No, I was married and then not married.
Brian Bishop
How long were you married?
Chris Kattan
For a short time, A couple months.
Brian Bishop
I was.
Chris Kattan
How long were you married?
Brian Bishop
I'm married. How long have you been married? I've been married for six years, maybe seven.
Chris Kattan
How many kids do you have? Maybe seven.
Brian Bishop
I have two. I have two kids. I was just talking to my wife about.
Chris Kattan
You seem very happy.
Brian Bishop
I'm a. I'm comfortable in my own skin.
Chris Kattan
You do seem like a hat. You are happy. I mean, like, you know, a lot of people are not happy.
Brian Bishop
Well, I'm not neurotic.
Chris Kattan
Well, you are.
Brian Bishop
You're not.
Chris Kattan
You're not, you know, you're not a Neurotica. You used to smoke, though. I remember you smoked.
Brian Bishop
Yeah, I'm not. I'm. I'm not a. I remember Loveline.
Chris Kattan
You'd step out and smoke.
Brian Bishop
I would on occasion, yes. But I'm not neurotic. I'm not weird like a lot of people in this business.
Chris Kattan
Right?
Brian Bishop
I'm. I'm easy. Yeah. I'm comfortable.
Chris Kattan
You are easy.
Brian Bishop
Yeah. So married for a couple of months.
Chris Kattan
Correct.
Brian Bishop
So do you have to get. You get an annulment? Do you get it? Do you get a divorce?
Chris Kattan
I get got. Yeah, I got some of those things.
Brian Bishop
Are you out a bunch of money?
Chris Kattan
No, not too much.
Brian Bishop
Did you have a bunch of money?
Chris Kattan
N. A fair amount, probably like you.
Brian Bishop
But you're cool.
Chris Kattan
I'm cool.
Brian Bishop
You're comfortable.
Chris Kattan
I'm happy that this Bollywood hero thing came out well. And that was. That helps when work is good.
Brian Bishop
How do you. I mean, for someone who's been around for. For a while, even though you're young, but you've been through SNL 90s and all that good stuff made a Bunch of feature movies. What do you think's going on with the business in general? It's changing at a pretty, pretty fast speed.
Chris Kattan
I think things are getting. I guess they're getting funnier.
Brian Bishop
Yeah, I guess.
Chris Kattan
I don't know. It's a weird time. I mean, I don't know what it is.
Brian Bishop
A weird in between.
Chris Kattan
Very weird in between. Like, there was a re. We had a reason a couple years ago, like, oh, the writer strike. That's why everything sucks or weird.
Brian Bishop
Right.
Chris Kattan
But now we don't really have anything to blame.
Brian Bishop
But I think what they used to.
Chris Kattan
Be, they're not what they used to be.
Brian Bishop
And somehow the Internet is cropping up, but in a way that no one really knows what the future wells.
Chris Kattan
Like the Twitter thing is, you know, like, you can. That's pretty crazy. What's going on with that? Like, that thing gets. You could say things on that that are funny and then someone adds to that. Like there used to be like just that talk show element where people just say the joke there. Now you can say something funny on that thing and it'll catch on. Are people watching this when you're seeing this?
Brian Bishop
No. I don't know. We just put stuff on our monitor. It usually just serves to distract the guest. It's awesome. It's awesome podcasting, because what it is is we talk about things and then.
Chris Kattan
You show pictures of them.
Brian Bishop
The guest points and says, wow, look at that.
Chris Kattan
What does that mean?
Brian Bishop
That then when the people who are listening to the podcast are just confused. Yeah. By having the guests. It's a much better thing about seeing.
Chris Kattan
All these photos is that I make fun of them. In the Bollywood hero.
Brian Bishop
Yes.
Chris Kattan
Like Mr. Peepers.
Brian Bishop
Mr. Peepers.
Chris Kattan
That was. Yeah.
Brian Bishop
What would you say your most most popular SNL character was?
Chris Kattan
I think it was probably Mango.
Brian Bishop
I'd have to go with Mango as well.
Chris Kattan
Now, do you get all the Roxbury guys were.
Brian Bishop
Oh, yeah, right. I feel like your head movement was. There we go.
Chris Kattan
That was fast. They really found that photo.
Brian Bishop
Wow.
Chris Kattan
And there's one time I played with myself.
Brian Bishop
Chris had a solid BM this morning before he left the house. Yeah. Grab a shot of that. Toss that up there. Yeah.
Chris Kattan
No, no, no. The one at the Four Seasons. That's the one.
Brian Bishop
So now when you do something like Night at the Roxbury. Yes. When somebody says, when Lorne Michael makes the decree and says, this must be a movie, how do you take a three minute or four minute sketch and make it into 90 minutes worth of movie?
Chris Kattan
By trusting somebody else. Other than yourself.
Brian Bishop
So, like, you and Will Ferrell. Well, we didn't know what we were doing.
Chris Kattan
We're like, I just got on the show, and then all of a. A sudden they wanted to make a movie out of these characters. It's just one of those things where it's someone else's. It just becomes a machine. But you really didn't know what was happening. At the same time, it wasn't like, we want to make a movie out of this.
Brian Bishop
Somebody tells you or Lauren tells you. Is there such a thing as telling Lorne, no, I'm not gonna do this?
Chris Kattan
It was great to do is a great experience, and it made money and all that stuff and helped us out. And it was. And, you know, but it wasn't like we wanted. We weren't like, okay, we have a vision, unlike, not to go back to the Bollywood hero, but that was like. It took three years to do, and we had a story to tell, and that's why it came out so good.
Brian Bishop
And we say we. How much involved with the writing of that?
Chris Kattan
Well, I also got to be the executive producer and the writing too, so. But that. There was a lot of involvement.
Brian Bishop
And how's the ifc? That's Independent Film Channel.
Chris Kattan
Independent Film Channel.
Brian Bishop
And they put up a lot of pretty cool original stuff.
Giovanni
They're really cool.
Brian Bishop
Yeah.
Chris Kattan
And they're great for this because they encouraged. They let us do what we wanted to do. But they're really smart about. They're really smart. It's nice to do something with smart people.
Brian Bishop
Yeah.
Chris Kattan
As opposed to, like.
Brian Bishop
Right.
Chris Kattan
I mean, you know, it's just like, yes. Hard to have. It's hard to do something good and then work with people that are good. And maybe I think the more money you make, sometimes the crappier things are. Just sometimes. Sometimes it's not always the bigger the budget, bigger the budget, something gets lost. It just seems like something gets lost along the way sometimes.
Brian Bishop
I think we have some.
Chris Kattan
Not to say that to the scout Mike to.
Brian Bishop
To attempt. Well, this must add some budget. You want the easy to shoot it, right?
Chris Kattan
Yeah, no, it had some budget, but you know what I mean.
Giovanni
