Final Thoughts

This episode encapsulates the Carolla Show at its best: brisk, irreverent, sometimes profound, and always self-aware. Couric’s segment is rich with insights about journalism and cultural currents, while Saget’s visit leans into comedic catharsis and a pointed look at contemporary media outrage. Both interviews weave humor and humanity through current events, keeping listeners informed, amused, and—most importantly—invited to think for themselves.

First we have Adam Carla Show 22:39 featuring Katie Couren, Adam Rae, Gina Grant and Brian Bishop from 2018. Good day Gina Grant. Good day to you and bald Brian. Katie Couric is in studio. I'm afraid I'm in love with Katie Couric. I sat down for a while, about 40, 40 maybe almost an hour and we did was interviewed for her program which is America Inside out with Katie couric. It's a six part series and it's coming to Nat GE and that is on April 11th. So what I did will be featured I think in the sixth episode. Also the podcast Katie Couric Podcast available now on Apple. So Katie said to me, do we know each other? And I said, I don't know.

[Gina Grad]

Strong start.

[Adam Carolla]

But I realize Katie has the reason. Katie's won Peabody Awards and she's in The T. Well, maybe not the Peabody Award, the TV hall of Fame and Emmys and everything else is because. Because she makes you feel very relaxed and very comfortable and just like, you just want to talk to her like a friend. How big a part of that is your business and your success over the years?

[Katie Couric]

I mean, I think it's. I mean, Adam, you're good at that, too. I think people can sense when you're naturally.

[Tony Danza]

As good as you are, when.

[Katie Couric]

You'Re naturally curious and genuinely interested in what they have to say. And luckily, I have always had this insatiable curiosity and tried to understand why people think the way they do or why certain things are happening. And I think you can smell that a mile away, don't you think? I mean, can't you tell when people are phoning it in and aren't really listening? And I think so much of it, honestly, is emotional intelligence, your ability to kind of read a room, read a person, help that person feel relaxed so that you get the most out of them. Of course, in some cases, you don't want the person to be relaxed if you're interviewing a politician, for example, and really holding them accountable for certain points of view. But I think generally, just feeling comfortable in your own skin and not trying to be someone you're not somehow makes other people comfortable in being who they are.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah.

[Gina Grad]

Like, give them permission to be.

[Adam Carolla]

No, it's a certain je ne sais quoi. You have to have to have a certain thing. It's called it. I mean, it. Like, in the comfort department, people have to want to be able to tell you they can't get a weird vibe off of you. It's sort of creepy guy at the office versus cool guy at the office.

[Katie Couric]

Yeah. Being too judgmental, I think. I think we've sort of lost the art of listening and kind of just hearing what people have to say without automatically judging, without lashing out, without making them super nervous about what they have to say. And I don't know. I do think it's a bit of a skill or something that you're really born with.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, you're born with it. Like, LeBron James was born with a nice vertical leap, but then he has a lot of practice in the gym. Like, that's not really gonna help with the free throws. It'll help to jump, but then you have to work the game, which you've done, and your game is excellent. It's tight, and it's all star quality.

[Brian Bishop]

Your wingspan is indefensible.

[Katie Couric]

Thank you.

[Adam Carolla]

And so when we Began you said, oh, let me check my notes as to what I might want to get into with you. But then there's this balance between having such a structured system and set up with the notes. And I've noticed all the people that do the bad interviews go down their list of notes, they check them and they go right to the next thing and they don't follow up. And so you need this sort of rough template of where you might a rough roadmap of where you'd like to go, but you have to be able to go and take scenic routes.

[Katie Couric]

Yeah, I think you do a hybrid, you know, I mean, first of all, don't you like when someone's prepared when they're doing an interview with you? And I'm sure people appreciate that you hopefully know a little bit about your interview subjects as well. I know Larry King used to have this attitude like, I'll be a blank slate because the viewer knows about the same amount I do. But I do think that it's a hybrid of really understanding who someone is and doing your homework. I really appreciate when I'm interviewed and someone knows a little bit about me or has at least put some thought into kinds of the things they want to broach with me. So no pressure. Adam, hopefully you've done a little bit of homework.

[Adam Carolla]

Your dad was a publicist. Your mom was a homemaker who wrote.

[Katie Couric]

No, damn it.

[Adam Carolla]

It says it right on. That's what Wiki said.

[Katie Couric]

But your dad was a teacher and your mom was on welfare and she got a degree to studies at Cal State Northridge.

[Adam Carolla]

Damn. You see, this is why she's got the Peabody. I read that your dad was like a publicist.

[Katie Couric]

No, I mean, what's his title? So my dad was a newspaper man, actually. He wrote for the Macon Telegraph. He wrote for. He covered politics for the Atlanta Constitution. He was the bureau chief of United Press. And I think honestly, he had a hard time supporting a family of four kids on a newspaper man's salary. Before I was born, my parents and their then three children, because I'm the youngest of four, moved to Washington where my dad worked in public relations. And you know, it was publicist public relations, a little different. And then he also taught public relations at various colleges in the Washington, D.C. area, like the University of Maryland and American University. And my mom was primarily a homemaker who also volunteered at Planned Parenthood and worked in the gift department of Lord and Taylor. But I always thought in a different era, my mom would be like a kick ass stockbroker. I remember she bought a lot of Trojan stock when the AIDS crisis came to the forefront in the early 80s. She's very. She. Unfortunately, both my parents have passed away, but my mom was very, very savvy and quite ambitious for her children. And I think she came of age in an era when women just really didn't have that many opportunities. So.

[Gina Grad]

Such a forward thinker, buying stock in Trojan and working for Planned Parenthood.

[Katie Couric]

Yeah, I mean, I think.

[Adam Carolla]

Or maybe that was the grift. Maybe she buys the stock and then she shows up at all the meetings and is like, hey, these Dura brands, these aren't. Those are bad condoms.

[Brian Bishop]

Opens up a trench corner.

[Adam Carolla]

We go Trojan through every I. Every single outlet's got to carry Trojan and Trojan only then go back and buy more stock. Kind of.

[Katie Couric]

She could have been unsarter than I am.

[Brian Bishop]

Both angles.

[Adam Carolla]

Think about if you got every Planned Parenthood just to buy cases of Trojan condoms throughout the nation. So now, were your parents around long enough to see your success? Yes, which I always am. Happy to hear that. It breaks my heart sometimes when you hear about some athlete who's won the super bowl, but his dad passed away when he was a senior in high school or something. I don't know why that means something to me. I'm glad that your parents were around.

[Katie Couric]

I mean, I think it was wonderful, especially I think, for my dad having a journalism background, to see me do some important interviews. He used to call me and say, that was a great interview with David Duke. You know, Edward R. Murrow would have been proud of that interview. Or, you know, he would call me and say, it's not Canadian geese, it's Canada geese. You said that wrong. Or, you know, things like that. And I think they had. They took a lot of pride in my success. Both my parents and I think got a big kick out of it. And having said that, they were very equitable about their pride in all their kids.

[Adam Carolla]

Sure. You got to fake it with the losers. Otherwise Thanksgiving is going to be hell. I have to say, mom, my parents have to do the same with my sister. I get it.

[Katie Couric]

You know what, Doctor? You know, I don't think we had a. We had a loser. We didn't have any loser kids in our family. My sister. Both of my sisters were really quite exceptional. My oldest sister died of pancreatic cancer a few years after my husband Jay died of colon cancer, which was very difficult. She was running for Lieutenant governor of Virginia with Mark Warner and had to drop out of the race. And she was outstanding in many Ways. My other sister Clara, who I grew up calling Kiki, is a landscape architect in Boston. She went to the Harvard School of Design and is quite. Quite accomplished in her own right. My brother's a cfo, Went to UVA like I did.

[Gina Grad]

So you're the black sheep.

[Katie Couric]

I am the black sheep of the family, but. So my parents were great. And they also hated parents who bragged about their kids, you know, so they were very low key about it.

[Brian Bishop]

They would have liked Adam's parents a lot.

[Katie Couric]

Oh, yeah.

[Gina Grad]

Never said one word about any of them.

[Adam Carolla]

They really could have hung. So when you're. I'm looking down and I'm seeing, like, you know, you've interviewed Obama and Bill, Bill and Hillary Clinton and George Bush and Sarah Palin and Meryl Streep and Trump and Kimmel and Bill Cosby. Is there a. You know, it's like, I heard horrible stories about Bill Cosby before everyone else heard horrible stories about Bill Cosby, but not in the sexual realm. Just that he was a douche. Like, from my friends at William Morris and stuff. And just what an ass he was. Like, my agent, James Baby Doll Dixon, said, like, when he was a junior, junior agent over at Willie Morris, he went to Bill Cosby's room with somebody or something, and Bill Cosby was like, what's he doing here? And, like, he's with me. Well, get him out of here. Like, humiliated him. When he was like, junior, he would always tell me these stories.

[Katie Couric]

Really?

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah.

[Katie Couric]

See, I never heard that. After my husband died, I went out with one of the guys who started the Cosby Show, Tom Werner. And I had met Bill Cosby on a number of occasions, and he seemed great. I mean, he was super nice. He was gracious, he was charming. So I had never heard those stories. I know Tom thought really highly of Bill as well. So who knows?

[Adam Carolla]

Is there an element that Bill has that. I mean, Clinton and Cosby and a little bit of Obama where a. Like such a. Such a. Such a put you at ease vibe, such a Come back to comfort in their own skin, like something. Something that makes a great politician or a great comedian or actor or whatever thing that I don't know what's going on internally, but externally, they just seem so relaxed, so happy to see you, so easy, or did you get. When you're in the room with them, is it a different vibe than we see on tv?

[Katie Couric]

I mean, I think it depends, you know, on the circumstances under interacting with these folks. You know, I would see Bill Cosby not even in an interview situation. In those situations, I think, you know, he would try to be a performer and try to be funny. And sometimes that's really hard and awkward when you're interviewing comedians and especially like funny writers because sometimes they're just not that funny in person in these kind of extemporaneous situations, you know, I think. And so, although.

[Adam Carolla]

Sorry about our interview. No, no, no. I thought some laughs would be interesting.

[Katie Couric]

Very often I wasn't interviewing you to be funny. We were talking about sort of a serious thing about sort of the atmosphere on college campuses and universities right now. But I don't know, you know, Bill Clinton, I remember he wagged his finger at me when I really challenged him about something. And I think it really depends on the setting and the tone of the discussion that you'. Obama is an incredibly thoughtful, professorial interview. And I would say he's on the cooler side, I mean, very gracious and nice, but you don't get the sense that he's trying to please you. And so everybody's kind of different. I think. I do think that Clinton has that emotional intelligence that really helped him connect with an audience in a way that frankly, Hillary Clinton didn't have as much. Right.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. No, there's obviously, we have a weird criteria, which is you gotta wanna have a beer with that person. It used to be that guy. He's the kind of guy you wanna have a beer with. And it's like. It's kind of weird because it's almost like saying, would your thoracic surgeon be the kind of guy you'd like to have a beer with? Or your accountant? Like, you'd kinda like the best accountant, the best surgeon, the best, you know, sort of fill in the blank and then guys to have beers with. Those are guys to have beers with. I have those guys.

[Katie Couric]

It is hard because there's so much pressure, I think, to be kind of affable and likable. And yet you have to be, you know, hopefully. Well, you don't have to be, apparently, but eminently qualified. Right. And so it is a very, very tough thing, I think, for people to navigate. I agree with you. I want a leader to be hyper intelligent, experienced, cool under pressure and have some humanity. Right. But I don't want to necessarily have a beer with the president. I really don't.

[Adam Carolla]

Statistically, the chances of most of us having a beer with that person are very low.

[Katie Couric]

Speak for yourself.

[Adam Carolla]

Katie could definitely get a Chardonnay of Hill. Hillary was in there. But so since this thing's never going to happen, then let's just have him be some sort of Elon Musk type or something. It's just incredibly smart and incredibly he or she great at their whatever and focus and let him do it. So on the presidential thing, a lot of Oprah talk these days. You must know Oprah.

[Katie Couric]

I know her a little bit. I don't know her that well.

[Adam Carolla]

Any predictions?

[Katie Couric]

I don't know. You know, I think probably. Gosh, I don't know.

[Adam Carolla]

I mean, first and foremost, Strawberry me. Let's talk careers for a second. We all gotta have a job, but what you really want is a career.

[Katie Couric]

Foremost putting that right out there. I have no idea. I can see why people would find her really appealing because I think celebrity has taken such an important role in our society. You ask college kids what they want to be, or high school kids, rather. I think in a survey, my husband always makes fun of the fact that I say rather instead of rather. You ask high school students, Dan Rather would disagree with you what they want to be.

[Adam Carolla]

It's a Canada goose, it's not Canadian.

[Katie Couric]

And they all say, you know, so many kids want to be famous. So I think that has become such an important thing for our society, unfortunately. I think, and I don't know, I can see why that might translate into an appealing candidate for a lot of people because fame is so important and name recognition and all that. And I think Oprah Winfrey's values are probably more consistent with the values of most Americans. I would hope so than many people out there. But I have no idea if a she has the experience that would make her a good manager. And I don't know if our expectations for what a president should do and be have shifted in some ways and what we require our presidents to do, I think she'd be a fantastic kind of leader and have that moral authority that seems to be so missing right now. But whether or not she has the appetite for a grueling and often brutal campaign, and if she has the managerial experience that might be required to be president, I don't really know because I've never been president and I don't quite understand everything that's required. I think that remains to be seen. I think she can obviously be a huge kingmaker and is highly influential. And so if she chooses not to run, I think she'll probably be very engaged in whoever is the Democratic nominee in 2020. So I just don't know. What do you all think? I'm curious.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, it's many thoughts. One is it's nice, you know, a byproduct of all that's been Going on that's negative is everyone's into politics and talking about politics, which in the past didn't seem. You know, when I was in my 20s and my 30s, no one really engaged in politics. I mean, regular folk. We didn't talk about it. It wasn't really a topic. It was just, that guy's the president, he's that guy's son. Or we got Clinton in there, whoever it is, and it was just like how it was, and we weren't really discussed. There's no policies or. So I guess the good news is everyone's having a conversation about politics, I guess.

[Katie Couric]

But are they. You know, they're not really having conversations.

[Adam Carolla]

About yelling at each other.

[Katie Couric]

They're having conversations because what's happening is so unsettling and unconventional. I thought Michael Che was funny on SNL when he said, can't we just go back to a time when a friend would say, hey, did you hear what the President said? And he'd say, no, I have no idea what the President said. So, you know, people are very engaged. I think they're worried, obviously, about some policy changes, but they're also worried about just the temperament and some of the things that are coming out of the President's mouth that, you know, you don't want people to be engaged for that reason.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, then, so maybe this is. Maybe this is the positive byproduct that'll manifest itself in two and a half years or something. You know, maybe this will create a more engaged, enlightened voting populace. Maybe more people will vote. I assume more people will vote.

[Katie Couric]

I have to believe that that is a very positive outcome that people are going to say, we cannot sit on our hands. Look what happens when we don't get out there and make our views known. I have to think that this has been a tremendous wake up call. You know, voter, you know, participation is really pathetic. I think it's like 50% or 52% of people in this country vote. I think that's so outrageous. And I think people now realize, hey, if we don't, and even if we wanna vote against somebody, your vote really matters and really counts.

[Adam Carolla]

So it'll probably be a record, you know, statistically for voting. And it'll certainly be. It's the kind of thing where it's like, I don't think debates formally got a ton of eyeballs and a ton of ratings.

[Brian Bishop]

Must see TV this time now.

[Adam Carolla]

And if Oprah runs against Trump and there's a debate, it's gonna do super bowl type numbers. I mean, they're gonna be debate parties.

[Katie Couric]

The debates did well, you know, one would argue, probably because of the Trump factor.

[Adam Carolla]

Sure.

[Katie Couric]

Right. Do you think that with those 13 other candidates that people wanted to hear what Marco Rubio thought about immigration or what George Bush thought about education or early childhood education?

[Adam Carolla]

Bush, right.

[Katie Couric]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, you said George.

[Katie Couric]

I said George. Sorry, Jeb. Sorry.

[Adam Carolla]

That'll be the last time I have Corona crashing.

[Katie Couric]

Thank you.

[Adam Carolla]

Any politicians?

[Brian Bishop]

No.

[Gina Grad]

I appreciate that.

[Brian Bishop]

Ace Award moment.

[Katie Couric]

No, please correct me.

[Brian Bishop]

You mentioned Bill Clinton wagging his finger at you to make me think, with all the people you've interviewed, how did you, as an interviewer, how did you deal with it when you either suspected or knew that someone was lying to you? You obviously. Or could you just call them out on it, or do you have to massage it or depend on the person? How did you. How'd you deal with that?

[Katie Couric]

I think, you know, it's, It's. It's a little less lying, a little more authentication. I always have a hard time with that word. Help me out.

[Gina Grad]

Oh, yes, Adam, help us.

[Adam Carolla]

Awesome.

[Katie Couric]

You know, anyway, we're not going to.

[Adam Carolla]

Come on, man. I just did.

[Katie Couric]

Giving a certain Confucius answer, not being direct, kind of avoiding the question.

[Adam Carolla]

Obfuscation.

[Katie Couric]

Yeah. Thank you. It's a hard word to say, but I think, you know, it's less out and out lying and more avoidance. And people have a great way to avoid answering questions. And I had to learn in the course of my career to have the confidence to say, I'm sorry, Senator, you didn't answer my question. Or you go at it in a myriad of ways. So you end up asking the same question five different ways. I'm sure you guys have done this on this show.

[Adam Carolla]

It's kind of our hallmark. We've done it. Yeah.

[Katie Couric]

Yeah. So I think that's been my experience more than people out and out lying. Although David Duke did lie, and I have had people.

[Brian Bishop]

David Duke?

[Katie Couric]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Gina Grad]

That's not the David Duke quote.

[Katie Couric]

And I had to. And I used, I think, Tim Russer method, which is reading his quotes back to him. And I think that's always been really effective. And that's something that Tim did, I think, often on Meet the Press. I really missed him in this political climate.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, yeah. He would have been fantastic, you know.

[Katie Couric]

Because there was something about Tim that you could listen to him. You didn't feel like he had this agenda. His agenda really was, I think, a search for truth and really kind of holding the powerful accountable. And I don't know. And yet because he was from Buffalo. You know, his dad was Big Russ, who drove a truck. There was something such an everyman quality about him that wasn't smug or off putting for an audience. And I think I just, I wish. I really miss his presence.

[Adam Carolla]

He passed three years ago. Oh, gosh, I can't remember. It's been 2008, almost 10 years or 10 years ago.

[Katie Couric]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

Jesus. Time's flying by. Well, who do you like? Who's out there in the landscape right now that are doing the commentating on this stuff or interviewing or who have you liked?

[Katie Couric]

I mean, I think that print journalism is doing some incredible work. I think Maggie Haberman is doing great work at the New York Times. I think a lot of people, David Farenthalt at the Washington Post, a lot of writers in print, I think are doing terrific work. I think I watch some cable news. I don't want to watch a ton of it because I find it very anxiety producing. But I think everybody's doing a really good job. I think Jake Tapper's doing good job. And Rachel Maddow I think does a good job.

[Adam Carolla]

I'm trying to figure out what's in her teleprompter because I know it sounds like.

[Gina Grad]

Do tell.

[Adam Carolla]

No, it's like, like a, like a, like an old man going, son, I want to know what's in your teleprompter. No, because she has this great long form style where she sits there and she's clearly not stuck to the monologue. She is going different places. I don't know. She's talking in Beats. Like, I don't know if there's some bullet points in beats. If it's tightly scripted. She's a genius because she's delivering it in this very casual, conversational sort of, oh, what about this? And. But on the other hand, there has to be something up there. Cause otherwise it's just freeform. Free. Too much material.

[Katie Couric]

I'll find out. A friend of mine is a producer on that show and I think probably Rachel writes things out and just knows how to deliver them in a way that doesn't look like she's reading. But I don't really know. But I'm going to find out, Adam. And as Sarah Palin would say, get back to too young.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, it says here that Keith Olbermann suggested, urged her to use it in 2016. That had to be an uncomfortable conversation. No, I'm fine. No, you're not. I got a tv. You're not.

[Brian Bishop]

I have two eyes.

[Adam Carolla]

I'm assuming she Has a prompter. I just want to know if they're like beats or if it's word for word. And it's word for word.

[Brian Bishop]

Well, Katie's got someone on the inside.

[Katie Couric]

Yeah, I'm gonna find out.

[Adam Carolla]

I want to know.

[Katie Couric]

Like I think wiring minds want to know.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. Cause it's a compliment. She's so relaxed and seems so conversational. But on the other hand, there is a menu of things she needs to get to and lots of different places to go as well. Katie, I know you've got a semi hardish out, but you tell me, can you talk a couple more minutes?

[Katie Couric]

Yes, yes, absolutely.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, you feeling good? Oh, good. All right, well then let me tell you guys about Simplisafe and then we'll ask Katie some more important questions. Simply safe. I've worked with them since they were. Well, let's see, they had 10 employees when I started with Simplisafe. Now they're protecting over 2 million people. Exciting news. They just released their brand new home security system. The all new SimpliSafe system. It's smaller, it's faster, it's stronger than ever before. Completely rebuilt, redesigned with new safeguards against power outages, downed WI fi, cut landlines, bats, hammers, you name it. It's sleeker, it's smaller, it's faster, it's better, it's simply safe. The first security system I'd actually call beautiful. You should check it out. You can still get 24. 7 protection for only 15 bucks a month. Just 15 bucks a month and no contract. But supplies are limited. So let's visit. Let's get going. These guys are great. Simplisafe.com Adam2I's in there. Simplisafe.com Adam well, Katie, you did your homework on me. I obviously didn't do enough homework on you.

[Gina Grad]

That's okay.

[Adam Carolla]

Although I got the homemaker part half right with your mom and I got the sort of the public publicist. But it was public relations or something.

[Katie Couric]

That's okay.

[Adam Carolla]

So I got a little bit of it. But you did your homework on me. So why don't you interview me a little bit on my podcast? Cause otherwise it's going to be complete waste because I'm not what you call a get.

[Katie Couric]

Well, you know, we actually had an interesting conversation as part of this National Geographic series that launches in April.

[Adam Carolla]

April 11th.

[Katie Couric]

April 11th. I'm doing six one hour, sort of, I guess, mini documentaries on some big social issues that are facing the country and kind of these big thorny, complicated topics that people have such strong opinions about. And gosh, who knows if it will help achieve greater understanding of any of these hot button issues. But it's been really interesting and it's allowed me to travel all over the country and get out of my bubble and talk to people about what's eating them and see these really revolutionary changes that we're undergoing as a society. And just real quickly, I'm doing what it's like to be Muslim in America right now, given the current political rhetoric. I'm talking about our memorial landscape, Confederate statues and places, buildings, colleges, highways that are named after many what were once thought Confederate heroes and how that's become a proxy for race relations in this country. That's why I was in Charlottesville for the so called Unite the Right because there was a big controversy about the Robert E. Lee statue, as you all know, in the middle of the Lee park in downtown Charlottesville. So that's been really, really interesting. And looking at the history that we commemorate and choose to remember, the history that we have omitted because it represents some of the darker, uglier chapters of the American experience. So I'm spending an hour on that and that's been really interesting. I'm doing technology and whether it's robbing us of our and the impact it's going to have on all facets of our lives.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, let's talk about the technology for a minute. Because we are all guinea pigs in a brand new experiment that nobody who came before us had to participate in. And then people who participate in it after us will be well versed in it because they'll study our data.

[Katie Couric]

I think that's a good way of putting it.

[Tony Danza]

Adam.

[Katie Couric]

We're in the middle of this, you know, who knows what impact this is all having on us. And that's one of the reasons I wanted to explore it. Like, nobody takes a step back and says, hey, we're checking our iPhones 150 times a day. Kids are waking up at all hours of the night looking at their iPhones, not getting as much sleep. It's reducing the melatonin, increasing the cortisol. What is that doing to our brain chemistry? A lot of experts think this is going to result in early dementia among these kids who are coming of age in this iPhone generation. How are these companies manipulating us to make this more addictive and how is it affecting our relationships and how's it going to affect the future of work? These are all such important questions. And we're so, I think, immersed in our day to day lives that nobody Kind of takes a step back and says, hey, hold on, everybody. Let's look at this and think about it.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, do you. And this. Some of the stuff, this is some of the stuff we're talking about. When Katie interviewed me an hour ago or so. I have a theory that sort of all roads lead to narcissism and everything that's sort of bad or wrong or whatever is a couple of quick moves and you're at narcissism. And everybody has a narcissistic wiring. You just do. It's you and everyone. And I'm not saying that's unhealthy.

[Katie Couric]

There's shades of narcissism, right? There's malignant narcissism and then there's. There's typical narcissists.

[Adam Carolla]

But now there's a thing where you can grab your phone and check out what people are saying about you or to you or at you. And that speaks to a narcissistic inclination that we all have. So we all have this predisposition and it's a thing. It's like some people like alcohol, but other people don't like alcohol. Like, they don't like the way it makes them feel. There's a lot of people, they don't like the taste of alcohol. Gina doesn't drink. I drink. I drink four Gina oftentimes. And other people don't drink.

[Brian Bishop]

But cheers. Here's you and me. Holds up a glass in each hand.

[Adam Carolla]

This is everybody likes the taste of alcohol. That's what all this social media is. I don't know if you could find 1% of 10 year olds growing up that don't want to hear about themselves or don't want to hear what someone. Other classmates.

[Katie Couric]

Look at me. Ism, isn't it?

[Adam Carolla]

Right. So the thing that's super dangerous about this is certain percentage of people are going to smoke. We don't like it. But it's not 92%, it's 21% or 14% or whatever it is. These are all kids are going to smoke. And when I say smoke, I mean indulge in this. My son wanted a plug for his like YouTube station or something today because him and cousin Sal's son put together their first episode of, you know, sports parlay, you know, sports bets.

[Gina Grad]

And it's just a waste of my time with Sonny Carollis.

[Adam Carolla]

Yes, he's 11, but he's mature. He said to me this morning, hey, dad, when you go on your podcast, can you give a little plug to my YouTube station? And I said, well, I could.

[Katie Couric]

I think you just did.

[Adam Carolla]

I think I just did.

[Brian Bishop]

We're gonna cut this out.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, I said you could. I said I could. But your first. You've only done one episode. And he said, yeah. And I said, don't you think your next episodes are gonna be better? Like, you're gonna keep improving? And he said, yeah. And I said, I bet when you get to, like, your fifth episode, you're gonna look back on this episode, and you're not gonna be that proud of it. You're gonna think, oh, we're so much better now, as you would be after getting some reps. And he said, yeah. And I said, if I send people to the website to look at this one, they may look at it, not like it very much, and never check back in again. Don't you want to get them with your best foot forward?

[Gina Grad]

You know, dad, just forget it.

[Katie Couric]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

And he went, my daughter threw up because she has an eating disorder from these kinds of conversations. No, he said, yep, you're right. We'll do that. And maybe I just screwed myself. But he's. Now these kids are growing up in a world where they have their own network on their own phone with their own friends.

[Katie Couric]

There's just. I mean, think about the pressure, though. You know, when we were growing up, you'd find out through the grapevine that somebody had a party and didn't invite you, or that a clique was forming and you were excluded. And then, you know, listen, that was painful, but now it's in real time. You're reminded. It's.

[Brian Bishop]

The shame is instant.

[Katie Couric]

Yeah. And, you know, it's very hard. I think I read a statistic that for girls between the ages of 10 and 14, the suicide rate has tripled in the last 10 years because there is so much social pressure. And I don't know about you all, but I'm curious. I feel more anxious than I think I ever have. And I think some of it is this constant being constantly inundated. Perhaps some of it is the political climate, to be honest with you. And then others is just sort of this constant connectivity that is, I think, really impacting anxiety levels. You know, anxiety is the number one social disorder, I guess, psychological disorder in the country right now. It's even bypassed or surpassed depression, although they're closely, I think, associated.

[Adam Carolla]

Sure.

[Katie Couric]

And, you know, you just worry about kids who are growing up in a world that just, you know, they can't get away from things. I went to Green Bank, West Virginia, and they have this huge telescope as part of this series. And because the WI fi interferes with the electronics of this very important data gathering telescope, kids don't have it on their cell phones. And they're growing up in very different ways than kids say in New York City or in some of these other places. And a lot of the things that you're seeing manifested in kids who are constantly on their phones aren't happening to these kids in Green Bank. And it's really interesting. That's part of the episode I'm doing on technology. I also went to a sex robot place and I think one in four in Green Bank.

[Brian Bishop]

That's a hell of a no.

[Katie Couric]

This isn't. This is. In San Diego, one in four men say they would be willing to have sex with a robot in.

[Gina Grad]

And three out of four are lying.

[Brian Bishop]

Well, the other three were actually too busy having sex with the room all the time to say yes.

[Katie Couric]

But I mean, you have these lifelike figures with detachable genitalia. I asked the creator if they were dishwasher safe.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah.

[Katie Couric]

And basically, you know, I met a man who had four of them. It was really. He had a harem, interesting harem of robots. But it's this whole notion of artificial intelligence and how real.

[Adam Carolla]

So three questions. How realistic are they? What's the deposit? What's the lead time? You got it. It's got deposit and lead time. Those are the two things you ask for the fourth of July.

[Brian Bishop]

I'm taking a trip.

[Adam Carolla]

So how. Well, look, it's time you ladies know just how we're wired. Like we are wired so different than women. Or women are wired so differently than men. Like, it is insane. Part of the things I rail against is we do this. We've decided that it'd be a great thing if we could convince everyone was the same, men and women. But then you would be confused when you found out statistics about sex robots. Cuz that's our wiring.

[Brian Bishop]

Imagine the guys at the sex robot factory had to pretend to be as shocked as Katie. Like, what is going on here?

[Adam Carolla]

Oh yeah. Wow, this is crazy.

[Gina Grad]

Did I get here?

[Brian Bishop]

Open your eyes.

[Adam Carolla]

I was saying to my assistant Matt, the porcelain punisher Fondelier today. Because I have to give him. He's a newlywed. I give him a little advice about being wired differently. Hold on, we'll take a look in a second. But I said, look, simple. Here's a very simple example. My girlfriend at the time loved flowers. And if I'd gone out and picked her flowers and presented those flowers to her, then she would have been over the moon. But instead, I got Tori Amos flowers that she left behind after doing an episode of Kevin and Bean in the morning. And I presented her with Tori Amos flowers, and she threw them away, even though she's a big Tori Amos fan and I thought she'd get a kick out of it. But this is the wiring. Now, if a guy.

[Katie Couric]

I would have liked Tori Amos's flowers. Just let the record.

[Adam Carolla]

She wasn't a keeper.

[Katie Couric]

I would have said, that's cool. And I would have said, I appreciate that you're putting these flowers to good use.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, see, you're more practical.

[Katie Couric]

I am.

[Adam Carolla]

See, if a guy wanted a cordless drill, he wouldn't really care how you came upon the cordless drill.

[Gina Grad]

It's Tim Allen's drill.

[Adam Carolla]

He just wants the drill.

[Katie Couric]

By the way, there was somebody on your team put up the picture of the robot. So I just want you to see it because you'll tell me how lifelike you think they are. And I don't know. Did you guys have it?

[Gina Grad]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

I want to be your best friend and much more.

[Katie Couric]

Maybe not the much more part of her, but the friends part. I'm cool with it.

[Brian Bishop]

It looks just like you.

[Katie Couric]

So there you go. What do you think? How realistic is she? Not very. Right.

[Gina Grad]

Well, even if she was human, she's not very real, right?

[Katie Couric]

Exactly.

[Gina Grad]

Realistic view of women.

[Katie Couric]

They all kind of look like porn stars, basically. Here, don't look at that.

[Adam Carolla]

Here would be my. Okay, hold it, Chris. Here would be my concept. Here's where I think we're going. I think guys, although they like sex, they also are much more into the idea of the person agreeing to have sex with them and that being some sort of victory. Like, there's a psychological component of it. Like, I met that person. We both walked into this bar at the same time, and I was able to take her home.

[Gina Grad]

I somehow convinced her.

[Adam Carolla]

Yes, I somehow convinced her.

[Katie Couric]

Which again, brings into play narcissism. Right?

[Adam Carolla]

Yes. So if validation. If you have a sex robot at home and she's just being recharged while you're at the bar alone, and then you'll come home and have sex with her. I think it's gonna sidebot. It's gonna end up. I think, guys, It'll change their relationship with sexuality. I think they'll probably. Or it'll be less gratifying and less. Whatever. Cause you need an element. It's a sort of a. How much more satisfying it is to bake your own lasagna versus have someone deliver lasagna. To your house. You'll still eat it. But I feel like the satisfaction level's not gonna be there. I don't know, Brian. You have a sex robot. How say you.

[Brian Bishop]

It's like a macrocosm of like Internet porn, you know, like remember? Sorry, there's a thing called pornography. When I were younger it was so hard to find. Like you had to go to the woods to find pornography or steal it from your friend's old man. But like now it's just piped into the the phones. You say people check 150 times a day. And I imagine, well, there'll be some studies down the road that, that show that kids attitude towards, you know, sexuality and pornography has been twisted in the last 15 years or whatever because it's so accessible.

[Gina Grad]

There's a phrase called porn ruined that we're being porn ruined. Desensitized to all of these things.

[Katie Couric]

Right.

[Adam Carolla]

Anyone who's lived through a tsunami, I'd like to. Oh yeah. Oh, you clung to a banana tree for six days. I've been porn ruined. Do you understand? I can barely watch four hours of porn a day. I say barely on the Internet. So you need to go fund me. Spare me your tears.

[Brian Bishop]

I'm not saying you haven't enjoyed a tragedy. I'm just saying it's a two way street.

[Adam Carolla]

I've been porn ruined. You lost your family tsunami and I've been porn ruined. How about that? All right, let me tell you quickly for we say goodbye to Katie Kirk. I'll tell you about BET DSI 20 years +. 20 years + paying winners A rated on sportsbook review sites. I play there myself. Recommend BET DSI to anyone. We're getting to the end of the football season. Let's get a couple of with cousin Sal watching that Vikings game.

[Katie Couric]

That was unbelievable, wasn't it?

[Adam Carolla]

Was a movie. Yeah. Sal needed to viking horror film.

[Brian Bishop]

What it was.

[Adam Carolla]

[Katie Couric]

Thank you, everyone.

[Adam Carolla]

This part series I'll be on at some point. NETGEO. And that's April 11th. Also, the podcast, the Katie Couric Podcast, available on Apple. And go to our website, Katie Couric. Sorry, sorry.

[Katie Couric]

Sorry to interrupt. But Adam, you know I'm doing something fun with your friend Jimmy because he's turning 50 or just turned 50.

[Adam Carolla]

Just turned.

[Katie Couric]

Yes, just turned. So there's something that you should do when you're 50 to make sure.

[Adam Carolla]

The prostate thing.

[Katie Couric]

No.

[Adam Carolla]

Sex with the robot.

[Brian Bishop]

Sex with the prostate.

[Adam Carolla]

Robot.

[Katie Couric]

Robot. Come on, work with me, Adam.

[Adam Carolla]

All right, I'm sorry. Dye your pubes. I don't know.

[Brian Bishop]

Everyone knows that's 45 you're supposed to.

[Adam Carolla]

Do when you're 50.

[Katie Couric]

It has to do with your colon.

[Gina Grad]

Oh, a colonoscopy.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, colonoscopy. Yeah, sorry. My prostate thing was. I'm. I'm not a physician. That's what I'm told. It's all the same. Yeah, it's all. That's right.

[Katie Couric]

So I'm gonna. I'm gonna see if I can escort Jimmy to get a colonoscopy. That's important because colon cancer is the number two cancer killer of men and women in this country. But it's easily preventable if you get properly screened. Have you had a colonoscopy, Adam?

[Adam Carolla]

No. And I was thinking about it on the ride in and I was thinking about you. Really? And I am going, first off, I having Dr. Drew. My last time I saw, saw Dr. Drew, I said, set it up. Like, talk to your guy. Like, whatever it is, give me a time. So Dr. Drew on a very special.

[Brian Bishop]

Adam and Drew show.

[Katie Couric]

I was gonna say. Yeah. So you just. You don't have a doctor?

[Adam Carolla]

No, I have Dr. Drew. Seriously, it's kind of weird, right?

[Katie Couric]

That's ridiculous. You need a doctor.

[Brian Bishop]

He's a TV doctor.

[Katie Couric]

That's insane. You need a Dr. Drew. Men are so weird. They don't get physicals, they don't take care of their health. They're insane.

[Adam Carolla]

No, yeah, you're right.

[Katie Couric]

No. So seriously, okay, how old are you, Adam?

[Adam Carolla]

I'm 53. So I told him two things. Dr. Drew also, I said, Dr. Drew set up a thing. And then I gotta get Leslie Stahl to escort me because I need a high end journalist. I mean, I'm just tearing a page out of your book. Who's gonna escort me in to get this?

[Brian Bishop]

Obviously Barbara Walters was the first one.

[Katie Couric]

Unfortunately, she was. She's not as associated with assholes as I am.

[Brian Bishop]

And on that note.

[Adam Carolla]

And on that note. All right, we'll take a break. You can listen to some good sports, and we'll be right back. Adam Ray in studio. Yeah, baby. Love, Adam Ray.

[Tony Danza]

And although Katie Couric opened for me on today's podcast, she will not be opening for me at Lengthy Live. I just want to say that right.

[Gina Grad]

Now, responsible of you.

[Bob Saget]

Yeah.

[Tony Danza]

Because I know a lot of people are like, oh, Adam Ray Couric. Like, are they doing their double bib?

[Brian Bishop]

Martin Lewis.

[Adam Carolla]

Hold on. I'm unclear. Is she going to middle. Featured act, Featured act. Oh, feature.

[Bob Saget]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

Okay.

[Tony Danza]

She won't be hosting.

[Adam Carolla]

She'll be featuring.

[Bob Saget]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

How was the holidays for you, Adam Ray?

[Tony Danza]

Great.

[Adam Carolla]

Good.

[Tony Danza]

Hanukkah. I felt like a. How often do you forget the start date of Hanukkah? How often are Jews coming up to you so.

[Adam Carolla]

Far?

[Tony Danza]

Well, it changes every year.

[Adam Carolla]

That's what.

[Tony Danza]

That's the other. To me, that's the best part about Christmas. And date never changes. Hanukkah, it's like they're trying to keep you on your toes, I guess, like, at some point be like, yeah, Hanukkah next week. I'm like, it's still fucking, you know, February. But it's. So I think it was like December.

[Bob Saget]

12, I think, this year.

[Tony Danza]

And I was like. And I, I fibbed to a non Jew. I was like, it's great so far. Loving it. Lit all the candles last night. They were like, oh, it was the first night. I was like, you know, the first one. And then I had some Rite Aid candles just to kind of spice up the Hanukkah mood, you know, And. And I felt. I felt bad that I didn't know. Is that like being a bad Jew or.

[Adam Carolla]

I gotta ask.

[Tony Danza]

I mean, I jumped on board.

[Adam Carolla]

Do most blacks know when Kwanzaa starts?

[Tony Danza]

And that's what I wanted to get to.

[Adam Carolla]

And is Kwanzaa the day after Christmas or does that float around, too? Does.

[Brian Bishop]

Yeah, does anybody know right place to ask about Kwanzaa.

[Tony Danza]

Or this could be the right place, depending on your attitude.

[Adam Carolla]

Smart. It'd be the day before Thanksgiving, the day after Thanksgiving. Really marry those two. But yeah, the. I'm not. I'm not a fan of the floating holiday.

[Tony Danza]

Although consistent.

[Adam Carolla]

I can. It's Thanksgiving. No good. Because it's always like, oh, it's so late. Oh, it's a little early or whatever.

[Brian Bishop]

Thursday. You know what I mean?

[Gina Grad]

Of the fourth.

[Brian Bishop]

Of course. Yeah. Married to a Sunday.

[Adam Carolla]

Kwanzaa is December 26th, but it's through January 1st.

[Gina Grad]

Kicks off boxing Day.

[Tony Danza]

Also, when you keep your holidays consistent, you have a better opportunity to. For. For other big things to double down on your holiday and give it more recognition. Like, July 4th also became big Willie weekend, when Will Smith started releasing movies on Fourth of July weekend. So it's like, it could be like, when's that new Meryl Streep movie? Hanukkah weekend? And you know when that is. Yeah, but when you're shifting it up, you know.

[Adam Carolla]

So what did you do?

[Tony Danza]

Well, the holidays were great.

[Adam Carolla]

So did you go home?

[Tony Danza]

I went home to Seattle and then I actually threw my first Hanukkah party in la. It was small, so I know you're like, where was my invite? But I, you know, it's one of those things where you want to test the waters before you get all your big friends. But I did have a few, like, odd celebrity hookups that. That.

[Bob Saget]

Of.

[Tony Danza]

That I didn't know of. Of friends that knew some people that came. One of them being Morgan Freeman. One of my buddies is, like, friends with him from a movie from way back when. He brought him and I talked to him only a little bit. We're both pretty fucked up. But I guess he felt bad about the way he behaved, and so he left. He left me a voicemail, and I brought it, if it's cool if we play it. Because my buddy gave him my number because he was, like, cool to us.

[Brian Bishop]

Yeah, it was cool thing.

[Adam Carolla]

He thought he was a little drunk, a little out of line, or he thought he was a little.

[Tony Danza]

We've all been there, but, like, and how often? So I thought it was a big move to go out of his way to call and apologize.

[Gina Grad]

Big man.

[Tony Danza]

But also he revealed other stuff. Like, I, you know, it's a party. You're. You're meandering around. You don't have a track on everybody, so.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, if you're comfortable playing, I'm comfortable.

[Tony Danza]

I think, you know. And Morgan, look, it's, you know, people know how Much of a rock star he is at this point. I don't think this is going to be a shock to anyone. How vulgar it might be.

[Adam Carolla]

All right, so he came to your Hanukkah party not because he knew you, but because a friend was working with him on a roll.

[Tony Danza]

He came in when he showed up. I'll give him credit for that. He came in, you know, looking to just, you know, put his best foot forward, and he did. And then he, you know, he put both feet forward and probably a little.

[Adam Carolla]

Too forward and so. Called to apologize. Yeah. Yeah. Do we have that voicemail? Yeah.

[Caller/Guest]

Hello, Adam, it's me, your buddy Morgan. Just wanted to say I had a great time at your Hanukkah party last night. I haven't drank that much since the premiere for the Bucket List. That was the night I saw Jack Nicholson's penis. Which is what Rob Reiner calls his dick, by the way. I'm sorry for drinking all your smirnoffice, but I've got a sweet tooth and it was staring at me like that porn star was staring at Crump when he asked her to pee on his futon. Oh, I forgot to tell you, I left my shoes in your shower. Don't ask, but sometimes when I get too fucked up, I like to shower with my shoes on. So if you could FedEx them to me. I'm spending the next six months in Alaska shooting a movie where I play a paraplegic dentist who gets kidnapped by the guy who created Bang Bus. Oh, Diane Lane is in it, so it should be good. To me, Diane Lane is the greatest actor of our generation. One time at the HBO Oscar party, she did an improvised version of Cisco's Thong Song. I cried because it was so beautiful, but also because the hors d' oeuvre guy ran out of pigs in the blanket. I fucking love pigs in a blanket. Almost as much as I love the idea of getting head on a hot air balloon. Well, I'm rambling, but fucking. You're going to show this to all your friends, you son of a. Congrats. You got a voice message from Morgan Freeman. Maybe your sixth grade girlfriend will finally accept your Facebook request. I mean, she should. She dumped you on your birthday. That's like being at a party and finding out there are no more pigs in the blanket. Bye now.

[Tony Danza]

So, you know.

[Gina Grad]

Wow.

[Bob Saget]

Very sweet.

[Tony Danza]

Didn't have to do that.

[Brian Bishop]

I didn't see it going that way, I'll be honest.

[Tony Danza]

Yeah, well, that's. That's the mystery of, you know, the scenic Route.

[Adam Carolla]

What's. What size are those shoes? A big man.

[Tony Danza]

Oh, dude.

[Bob Saget]

Yeah. Like 16.

[Tony Danza]

NBA D league size.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. Wow. Well.

[Tony Danza]

But a good dude, you know?

[Adam Carolla]

So. Yeah, I've never. I think we interviewed him on the phone.

[Brian Bishop]

Yeah.

[Gina Grad]

But I don't remember him being that loose.

[Adam Carolla]

No, he was very.

[Bob Saget]

We'll do.

[Tony Danza]

Do just about, you know, a number on anybody.

[Adam Carolla]

The. Any.

[Brian Bishop]

Don't delete that.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, yeah, you gotta save. You gotta save that.

[Bob Saget]

Yeah, it's not.

[Tony Danza]

That's going in the archives.

[Adam Carolla]

All right. Are we trying to get Mr. Brightside phone calls? See if any are coming in here? We thought it'd be fun to answer those with Adam Reyes. Tony Danza.

[Tony Danza]

Hell, yeah.

[Bob Saget]

I love.

[Tony Danza]

I love it when you said, we got a guy that does it.

[Brian Bishop]

And Katie, was.

[Tony Danza]

She really perked up when you said Tony? She was like, yeah, is he here?

[Brian Bishop]

Finally a real celebrity.

[Adam Carolla]

She's so endearing, isn't she?

[Brian Bishop]

Yeah.

[Bob Saget]

Just.

[Tony Danza]

Yeah. Easy to listen to, but she.

[Brian Bishop]

At ease.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. Gets people to open up.

[Bob Saget]

Yeah.

[Brian Bishop]

It's a great skill.

[Tony Danza]

Kind of like me, you know, when I had my talk show, you know, she was one of the first guests we wanted to get, you know, but it was. You know, there's a whole. There's a whole process with the booking.

[Adam Carolla]

For a talk show. You know, you gotta get a book over the deep Rolodex.

[Tony Danza]

Yeah, totally. You got to know the person they got. They have to want to do the show. A lot of people we wanted just wouldn't do the show. You know, the Clintons, you know, Tony Robbins wouldn't do the show.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah.

[Tony Danza]

And I went to a lot of his, you know, I was like, but I'm Tony, you. Told you. That should be enough. Tony Romo Romas did it.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, the guy from the rib joint.

[Tony Danza]

Yeah, from the rib joint. Not the quarterback.

[Adam Carolla]

But.

[Tony Danza]

So we wanted to do a whole episode was all the.

[Adam Carolla]

All the Tonys. All the best.

[Katie Couric]

Tony.

[Gina Grad]

Tony. Tony.

[Adam Carolla]

Yes.

[Tony Danza]

Like, uh. Like, who would be your top Tonys? And that was one of the segments we would ask the Tonys, right. Who are your top Tony.

[Bob Saget]

You know?

[Adam Carolla]

Right.

[Tony Danza]

Tony Braxton. Where A lot of them.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah.

[Brian Bishop]

Perkins.

[Tony Danza]

Tony Perkins.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. There was Tony.

[Tony Danza]

Tony.

[Brian Bishop]

Characters.

[Tony Danza]

Oh, yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, no. Yeah.

[Tony Danza]

But, you know, a lot of the people don't want to do the show, you know, But Tony Robbins, I've been to a lot of his seminars, so I was like, you know, I was always there crying, you know, Even if I was fake, I'd fake it, you know? But I was like, those are.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, you're an actor. Thespian.

[Tony Danza]

Of course.

[Adam Carolla]

Those are multi day seminars, right?

[Tony Danza]

Oh, sure, it's four or five. I once did a two month retreat with Robbins. Ye.

[Adam Carolla]

Me and him though. So walking across the coals, whole nine yards.

[Tony Danza]

Well, you do everything. You read Eat, Pray, love backwards. You recite a Torah portion in a Mormon church. Just a lot of things where you step out of your comfort zone. You let somebody else order your boost at Jamba Juice. You know, you go in Razor Taz on the mind and someone else goes, how about an orange dream machine with an immunity boost?

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. Let me tell you why I'm a bad guy to eat breakfast with or do almost anything with.

[Brian Bishop]

Bc were complaining.

[Adam Carolla]

We were at a super expensive Beverly Hills hotel having lunch breakfast yesterday, and they had $13 fresh pressed smoothies. And my wife got the $13 orange juice, which was like somebody literally, like, it was stomped. Not even hand squoved. Like a person with. With feet that had been bound. You know what that foot juice had, like stepped on it. That's their smell. Very pulpy, very. Oh, don't make a face. It was amazing.

[Gina Grad]

If you like pulp.

[Adam Carolla]

It was $13 of the best orange juice ever. And my wife drank five, eight. No, she drank a little less than half of it and went, all right, I'm good. We're ready to go. And I'm like, there's $7 worth. $7 worth. You need to finish the orange juice. And she said, kind of full. And I said, no, gotta finish. You know, gotta finish.

[Tony Danza]

You're not pushing Lynette.

[Adam Carolla]

Am I making that up? Lynette just walked into the.

[Gina Grad]

She'd like to say her piece.

[Bob Saget]

Yeah, yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

Yes.

[Katie Couric]

You basically, like hazed me with that orange juice.

[Adam Carolla]

She took a hit off it and then she set it aside. And then I picked it up and set it back in front of her again. Yeah.

[Katie Couric]

Kept sipping off of it. You're going, mmm, that's yummy.

[Adam Carolla]

That's yummy.

[Tony Danza]

Well, at least you got the commercial slogan down.

[Adam Carolla]

$13. I mean, there was probably $7 left, right? But we got it.

[Gina Grad]

You wouldn't let us leave the table.

[Katie Couric]

Until I finished every drop.

[Adam Carolla]

I got a thing about romantic breakfast.

[Tony Danza]

Now. $13 for OJ seems, like, doable, but, like, what is the max limit? Like, if you're. If you're looking at like a $25 prune juice, do you back away or do you go, well, now I'm curious.

[Gina Grad]

I got a taste of 25 to.

[Tony Danza]

Top out at eight bucks, but now we're the problem.

[Adam Carolla]

Lynette doesn't want to go with the $25 OJ because as it was, she was able to leave an eighth of it at the bottom that I then vacuumed up with a straw. But if she had left, if it was $26, I would have had to take, like, a cotton swab and wipe it down and then make her wear it like a goddamn Nicorette Pass for three days. Just absorb every single ounce of that.

[Brian Bishop]

Adam Ray makes a good point about price sensitivity and juice. Because, you know, zero to $13, you're like, all right, this kind of expensive glass of orange juice, 13 to $28, you're like, no way. That's ridiculous. Yeah, $29. Like, I gotta try the orange juice.

[Tony Danza]

You want what you can't have. And also like the idea when you go into a spot and you never even fathom that juice can go above. I mean, I didn't even know $13 was a possibility. But now, like, if I. If it's higher than that. Yeah, you're gonna be like, what do they do? What do they do to me after I drink it? Maybe there's an HJ after I down this apple juice, you know?

[Adam Carolla]

All right, we're gonna get some calls from Mr. Brightside. Yes, I will say, like, at the Corolla house when I was growing up, if somebody spent $13 on something, it was a durable good. Like, it had to be a used washing machine or something. $13 was a pickup truck or bicycle. Like, it wasn't a drink, right? No. No such thing as a $13 drink. All right, we'll do a little Mr. Bright side. Cue it up. I'll tell you first about the LifeLock man. Researchers found two serious flaws in chips used in nearly every PC, smartphone, and tablet.

[Adam Carolla]

Thank you. Let's talk to Angel30, Atlanta Falcons fan.

[Tony Danza]

Yikes already. You need to be brightened up. Yeah.

[Caller/Guest]

So ace man, Tony, hey, it's.

[Adam Carolla]

Wow.

[Caller/Guest]

It's tough because I'm in the military. I miss a lot of football games and I got to see the super bowl overseas three in the morning last year and get to watch the stockings blow that. And then just a few days ago.

[Adam Carolla]

Hold on a second. Angel. Far be it for me to be dismissive about anybody who's patriotic as yourself and all the good men and women fighting for us overseas, but you, well, they have a lot of those things where they're like, oh, in T CRE it's 4am and everyone's watching the game and all I want to know is what's on tap for the next day. We still getting up at 7 and flushing out ISIS. Are we going to kind of take that Monday off, You know what I'm saying? That's a work day for me is what I'm saying. And God bless you for what you're doing for this country. But if you're watching football 4am and you know anheuser. Anheuser Busch has donated a lot of brew. The next day is going to be pretty much a lot of guys hanging out with headaches like trying to hydrate.

[Tony Danza]

Orange juice is going down.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. A lot of what goes on with those big time difference days.

[Caller/Guest]

So I'm sure somebody gets that now. We saw, I was watching the game and I saw a clip of some dudes like, because I was in. I was in eastern Europe, like in the freaking nowhere eastern Europe up super cold, 10 degrees. They were all, you know. Yeah. Getting the girls and the beer. I was in a tent surrounding by a heater watching the game projected from someone's phone. It was. It was blurry. I didn't even know what happened to Me five minutes to figure out we lost in overtime.

[Adam Carolla]

What time did the game end? 5 degrees. Did it end 9 hours later for you though?

[Caller/Guest]

Yeah.

[Katie Couric]

No.

[Caller/Guest]

Well, the game. The game. I'm watching it live. But the game ended at 5am I had to be on my tank and start running gunnery. At 6:30. I went from, you know, from the tent, walked to the back of my tank, started that bad boy up, it's 10 degrees outside. And rolled down range into the cafeteria.

[Adam Carolla]

And went back in and took a nap.

[Caller/Guest]

Patriots fans, you know, they're patriotic. They'll die for the country.

[Tony Danza]

You know, angel, it could be worse. You could be a Saints fan.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, you know, angel, let me tell you.

[Tony Danza]

Yeah, shut up real quick. Hey, so I want to tell you something. I want to tell you a question.

[Adam Carolla]

He's a hero. How dare you, Angel.

[Tony Danza]

Yeah. No, I love you. Thank you for your. Sir. I want to tell you a real quick story, angel, about how Tony me takes a situation like yours and flips it on the. The bright side. So season three of who's the Boss? Okay, I was still training, right? Still training hard, still thinking about making a comeback into the boxing world. And I did, Angel, I did. I got back every day. I was working out at Curves because it was close to the studio and they had a. It would make a little space for me to box and sweat. Really, really get my grind going, right? So I get in there and I get to face one of my arch nemesis. Okay, Is that how you say that? I don't know. But so I get in the ring, right? And. And I'm prepped, I'm primed to go at least eight rounds and this guy knocks me the out in round one, Angel. And you know what I did? I cried, okay? I cried, I masturbated, and not in that order. And I went home and I got a steak and I did some jumping jacks and I went to set the next day and I told Jonathan, it's okay that you're gay. So thanks for calling in. It's got the sun.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah.

[Brian Bishop]

You feel better, Angel?

[Tony Danza]

So you feel better too? What I'm saying is.

[Caller/Guest]

Absolutely. Yeah.

[Tony Danza]

What I'm saying is jumping jacks helps everything. Yeah.

[Caller/Guest]

Hey, yeah, Jumping jacks a little.

[Adam Carolla]

A little thing with the Julio kind of missing the jump ball at the end. Two things. They're one for like 18 this season on that play. So not a great. Not a great percentage play to go for.

[Tony Danza]

Look at other options.

[Adam Carolla]

But also, that's my boy Sarkisian. Don't you guys Love these guys that are such insane athletes. Julio Jones is such an insane athlete that he jumped early, and he jumped early, and we would have thought, oh, shit, well, we'll just have to float back down the ground. But he was like, oh, I jumped early.

[Brian Bishop]

Guess I'll hang out here. I'll.

[Adam Carolla]

Guess I'll have to give him that second weird move that only brothers can do when they dunk a basketball. Like, they jump once, and then they go, there's a second jump. We're gonna jump again, but this time it'll just be in the air. And he just. There's a weird like, oh, I'm gonna go. I'll go again.

[Brian Bishop]

Gotta get a little more on here.

[Tony Danza]

Yeah. No white dude can do that. No white dude has never been documented on film.

[Adam Carolla]

Never been documented. If you ever go see a good pickup game at the Y or the park, and you see the brother, the short guy who can dunk, he jumps once, then he goes, I'm gonna jump again. Then he goes up again. Julio did that, but just couldn't squeeze it. All right, they'll be back. Let's talk to Randall, 24. Randall, 24.

[Caller/Guest]

Hey, Adam. How's it going, man?

[Adam Carolla]

Virginia, what's going on? Hey, Randall, say hi to Tony.

[Caller/Guest]

How you doing, Tony?

[Tony Danza]

Great.

[Caller/Guest]

I just got to tell you, Tony, man, your voice is awesome.

[Tony Danza]

Oh, thank you so much.

[Caller/Guest]

The way you're. The way you're speaking, man, it's great. You need to do a podcast of your own, if you don't already.

[Tony Danza]

Oh, thank you.

[Adam Carolla]

You know what?

[Tony Danza]

You're the fourth person today. Katie Couric said that to me on the way out. She goes, you need a podcast. I said, let me come on yours.

[Caller/Guest]

I was. You know, I was talking to Katie Curt myself, actually. I'm just kidding. But anyway, you have a great voice, my friend.

[Tony Danza]

So do you, Randall.

[Caller/Guest]

Thank you, sir. I appreciate it. Anyway, my sad story is. It's like. It's actually my life story. When I was born, I was born with a heart defect and a heart transplant. When I was seven weeks old, I was actually the youngest in the state of Virginia at the time to have ever received a transplant. But anyway, Wait, wait, hold on.

[Brian Bishop]

Seven days old.

[Caller/Guest]

Seven weeks. Seven weeks.

[Brian Bishop]

So they had to put a baby heart in you, obviously.

[Caller/Guest]

Yeah. So, yeah, baby to die, unfortunately, you know, but the parents, you know, it put the child's, you know, organs up for trans, you know, transplanting and whatnot. And anyway, it was a perfect match, and docs gave me six to eight weeks to live and on the seventh week, the heart came in, you know, thankfully. But Anyway, so about 13 years later, I was diagnosed with non Hodgkin's lymphoma. Cancer actually. And just was obviously out of the blue and whatnot. But come to find out the medication is actually what they believe caused the cancer. Apparently it's a somewhat common thing for transplant patients. Basically the medication you have to take your whole life to keep your body from rejecting the transplanted organs. And it caused the cancer.

[Adam Carolla]

Makes sense.

[Caller/Guest]

Anyway, I'm cancer free now, luckily, and I have been. It took about a year, I think, of cancer treatments and I was in remission. But anyway, the thing is I have to keep taking the same heart medication forever. And basically the docs tell me it could be months, could be years. They don't know. But essentially my heart is wearing out prematurely, unfortunately, because that's just what happened.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah.

[Caller/Guest]

So you know, Randall. Yeah.

[Tony Danza]

Well, Randall, let me tell you in season six, episode four, okay, Mona had this thyroid defect, right? Nobody knew what it was. We went to doctor after doctor after doctor. She was portraying weird behavior. She was only eating peanut butter sandwiches. She kept quoting Austin Powers. It hadn't even come out yet.

[Caller/Guest]

Yet.

[Bob Saget]

Wow.

[Adam Carolla]

Finally.

[Tony Danza]

And finally, you know, we would, we would bathe her, we would shake her sometimes. Snap out of it, you crazy bit.

[Adam Carolla]

That was Mona. That was the mom.

[Gina Grad]

Yeah, the grandmother.

[Adam Carolla]

The grandmother.

[Caller/Guest]

Right.

[Tony Danza]

And. And you know what finally turned her, her, her mentality on, her attitude, her approach to a day to day life, Randall.

[Caller/Guest]

What's that, Tony?

[Tony Danza]

Jumping jacks.

[Adam Carolla]

Wow. Back to jumping jacks.

[Caller/Guest]

So I don't know how that, I.

[Tony Danza]

Don'T know if that might be. I don't know if that's also heart related, but.

[Caller/Guest]

Well, you know, actually, you know, I think you hit the nail on the head there, Tony, because the doctors did tell me that I should be exercising if I can.

[Tony Danza]

Well, that's right. You know, it's your voice. You sounded, you know, like jumping jacks weren't a part of your life. I could hear it because you can listen to my voice. I do 20 jumping jacks a day. That's why I got such gravitas.

[Caller/Guest]

Yeah, you sound more like a half.

[Tony Danza]

Push up guy right now, you know, probably.

[Adam Carolla]

Good luck to you, Randall. Good luck.

[Tony Danza]

You're gonna be fine.

[Caller/Guest]

Thanks.

[Adam Carolla]

Wow, what technology. Holy shit in your soul. All right, we should take ourselves a quick break. We'll come back with the news right after this. Give me the news with grad news with Gina Grad Breaking viral. All those crazy trump Tweets, Give me News with Gina Grad. Trouble in the Middle East, Celebrity drunk meltdown. See News with Gina, Gina. The News with Gina Grad.

[Gina Grad]

Well, got some breaking news. As of Monday morning. Singer Dolores o' Riordan of the Irish band the Cranberries has died at the age of 46. That's according to Fox News. Her publicist, Lindsay Holmes told the AP that o' Riordan died suddenly Monday in London, where she was recording. Cause of her death not available yet. Formed in Limerick, Ireland, the Cranberries became international stars in the 90s. I'm sure they were played all over Kroc.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, they were. They were all over Zombie Linger Dreams. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They fused pop with them, and then the Cardigans came in, and then there was garbage. And there's a lot of, like, female driven young bands.

[Tony Danza]

Chapman.

[Gina Grad]

Well, the band split up in 2003, but they reunited and the Cranberries released the acoustic album Something Else last year. They'd been due to tour Europe and North America. The tour was cut short because Ariadn was suffering from back problems and she's had issues with depression in the past. But again, they haven't figured out the quiet yet.

[Adam Carolla]

Back problems and depression. Is that a medicated? I'll have to ask. Just.

[Tony Danza]

Your back's out. I mean, that's gonna take you down a peg.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, this is. Now I can. No. I had a dream, my dream on Martin Luther King, one of the best one hit wonder bands ever was the Raspberries. The Raspberries had a. Oh, I don't know, two Z's. We're gonna hear. You'll hear their song. You'll love their song because it got. I loved the song my entire life. But then I think Guardians of the Galaxy probably brought it back. And the Raspberries could have opened for the Cranberries.

[Gina Grad]

Oh, man, what a fruit punch.

[Adam Carolla]

What a jam it have been.

[Gina Grad]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

No idea where that was going. You want to talk about a $13 smoothie? Right there. This. The concert would open with this. And it be like, hello, where are the Raspberries? Cranberries will be out after we play the song seven more times.

[Bob Saget]

Let's go.

[Adam Carolla]

And then I look at the drummer and I go, two, three.

[Bob Saget]

Oh, man.

[Tony Danza]

It makes you wonder what other. What other fruits were they contemplating?

[Adam Carolla]

Like blueberries.

[Tony Danza]

Doesn't have a good ring to it. No kumquats, but just any. The Berry world.

[Gina Grad]

Yeah.

[Tony Danza]

You know the Gordy berries.

[Gina Grad]

Oh, yeah.

[Tony Danza]

Oh, the Berry Gordies.

[Bob Saget]

Yeah. All right.

[Brian Bishop]

Wild Cherry.

[Adam Carolla]

Wild Cherry.

[Brian Bishop]

Wow.

[Bob Saget]

Cherry.

[Adam Carolla]

There were.

[Brian Bishop]

They could play in this bill.

[Tony Danza]

Dude, so many good fruit. Name bands.

[Gina Grad]

Simone Peaches would open for him.

[Adam Carolla]

The Peaches?

[Gina Grad]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

Peaches and Herb. There was the Electric Prunes. I'm looking at Dawson because Dawson knows the Electric Prunes. No, that was a 60s band. What song did the. The Electric Prunes had a hit. We should get this all together.

[Gina Grad]

Strawberry Alarm Clock.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. Yep. One big jamba. Choose some music over here. Well, anyway, so my dream of the Raspberries opening for the Cranberries will never be realized. And she'll be missed.

[Brian Bishop]

You guys ever have a Lyft or an Uber, like, driver that's really fun? Like, plays the fun music, it turns it up, and, you know, you're on the way home from, you know, dinner or the bar, whatever. You talk about the great magnet, you know, these coincidences that are. They're coincidences, but it's kind of a weird coincidence. Chrissy and I went out to dinner on Friday, had a fun Uber. A Lyft driver on the way home, and he was cranking the 90s hits, and Zombie came on.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah.

[Brian Bishop]

And we're like, turn it up.

[Tony Danza]

Turn up.

[Brian Bishop]

Last time you heard Zombie, you know, we rocked out to Zombies. Like, and we. On the way home, we're like, cranberry is pretty great. And then Here we go, 40 hours later.

[Tony Danza]

It's nice to get reminded of a song that should be in your. Your rotation of tunes, you know? And, I mean, I don't know more than the three we named, but she had a voice, like, unique voice. I put her in the Annie Lennox category of just, like, there's only one of those pipes.

[Adam Carolla]

I also have not shared the same fortune you have. I got picked up by Habib and he soccer music.

[Brian Bishop]

But once, at least have you had the fun. The fun driver not had. Couple times I've been lucky enough to.

[Tony Danza]

Have you have the Uber driver that's doing shady business, but then wants to not act, but doesn't want to give any consideration to it, and goes right back into trying to be an Uber driver, where he's like. He'll pick up a phone and go, hello.

[Brian Bishop]

Tonight. I'll call you back.

[Tony Danza]

Tonight.

[Adam Carolla]

I'll call you back.

[Katie Couric]

Good.

[Tony Danza]

By the way, I have Fruit Stripe or Bubblicious.

[Adam Carolla]

And you're like, no.

[Tony Danza]

What was happening just now, though, though?

[Adam Carolla]

I've had the Uber driver that didn't know he was an Uber driver. Because when you opened his trunk, and me, Mike lynch, and Mike August were getting in, coming out of the airport, the trunk was filled with baby strollers and his own luggage and all the junk that he could have easily cleared out of his trunk. And then he had to do that move where you're pinch hitting. I like when you're caught by surprise by your own car. Like, you open the trunk and go, oh, boy. That's not to be.

[Caller/Guest]

Going.

[Adam Carolla]

Going to work. Like, yeah, that's your stroller. That's your. That's your laundry hamper. When you leave in the morning and you're an Uber driver and you're going to the airport and sometimes there's more than one person. Sometimes they have bags and things. You may want to just throw that stuff in the garage before you head out.

[Gina Grad]

You're not allowed to be shocked.

[Adam Carolla]

Who did the Electric Prune? What was the Electric Prunes song? Well, see if we can. We can find that. Here is. I Had Too Much to Dream Last Night. This song sounds like a parody of a 60s psycho electric anthem. These guys love their tremolo. You know, these guys are from Muncie, Indiana, and one of them sold dental equipment or something before this. But when they got it, when the people Beatles hit with sergeant Pepper and everything, someone went, you gotta change your town.

[Brian Bishop]

It's our time.

[Adam Carolla]

Yes.

[Tony Danza]

Yeah, this is not.

[Adam Carolla]

Put these Nehru jackets on and get the. Get a page boy haircut.

[Tony Danza]

This is not the song you want to. You want the doctor to play before he gives you a prostate exam.

[Gina Grad]

This has a very waiting for Guffman vibe.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, right. You didn't have too much to drink last night? I had too much to drink last night.

[Katie Couric]

I.

[Adam Carolla]

I'm not. But, you know, it'd be funny if you saw these same guys in the 80s. They'd be dressed like MC Hammer wearing puffy pants. Whatever was then. It's. Yes, it's my Vanilla Ice thing. You saw him in the 80s, in late 80s early. He looked and then. And at some point, he turned into Fred Durst. But when he turned into Fred Durst, he was like, this is how I always was. It's like, wait a minute. Now you're Fred Durst. I think you just keep changing depending on whatever way the wind is blowing out there in terms of styles and attitudes and things. Right.

[Tony Danza]

Everyone knows you don't go Durst to vanilla.

[Adam Carolla]

You go Vanilla Dirt. No, you go vanilla to Durst. Yeah, that's right.

[Gina Grad]

He set that precedent. Well, Dennis Rodman's DUI arrest on Saturday earned him a lengthy stay behind bars.

[Katie Couric]

Dennis.

[Gina Grad]

Dennis Rodman. According to tmz, the former NBA star and Hall Of Famer was already on probation when he was arrested Saturday night in Newport Beach, California. The probation stems from a 2016 incident in which Rodman drove in the wrong direction on the freeway, struck a car and then fled the scene. His latest arrest and probation violation will likely land him in jail for an extended period of time, possibly up to two years.

[Adam Carolla]

Dennis Rodman fleeing. Yeah, it's like you'll never find him.

[Brian Bishop]

I was not gonna get you.

[Adam Carolla]

Who's the guy in the wedding dress with the purple hair? Nine foot tall, he knows where nose rings. He's fleeing.

[Tony Danza]

And the rebound records.

[Gina Grad]

Well, Rodman's rep says the 56 year old has been going through some tough personal issues and needs rehab, not jail.

[Tony Danza]

All right, if you get. Now if he goes to jail, do the inmates make double team jokes? You know, John Claude today, how do they pull for an inmate?

[Adam Carolla]

It is.

[Tony Danza]

Well, that's what I'm saying. Like those guys have been there a while. They know what's up. They've seen movies.

[Brian Bishop]

The robust library.

[Tony Danza]

How much do you bust somebody's balls when they are fresh to the cell?

[Gina Grad]

You know, fresh meat.

[Adam Carolla]

How great a break is this for all his neighbors? Like when Dennis Rodman moves in on your street where it's like, oh, the cops were summoned to his house 81 times last year. Like literally cops, like people just defecating on your lawn. Guys fighting, fornicating and defecating.

[Tony Danza]

I'm not going to say anything.

[Adam Carolla]

I'm just saying like how what does that do to your neighborhood when Rodman gets the place at the end of the cul de sac?

[Brian Bishop]

Yeah, yeah. Being rich is a double edged sword. He got the nice house in the nice neighborhood. Robin.

[Tony Danza]

John Stockton, who lives in or lived in his neighborhood.

[Adam Carolla]

And occasionally he would just show up at people's houses and then the novelty wears off.

[Tony Danza]

With baked goods or just, just with an open penis.

[Adam Carolla]

Drink your booze, party keep you awake.

[Gina Grad]

Wow.

[Brian Bishop]

Jesus.

[Gina Grad]

Sometimes he brings Kim Jong un, but.

[Adam Carolla]

I mean really, it's like not. The novelty of it has totally worn off. His neighbors hate him. Well, who wants the cops called to your neighborhood? Like constantly.

[Tony Danza]

Just, I want to, I want to give benefit of the doubt and hope that there's like a 20 minute span where he is fun and then it just takes a dip, you know? Or do you think he comes out of the gate being a piece of.

[Adam Carolla]

I don't know.

[Tony Danza]

We got to ask Tony Koch.

[Adam Carolla]

I will find out.

[Brian Bishop]

Go straight to the source.

[Tony Danza]

Somebody go to ku coach.com, see his video. If his Robin Blog is up.

[Gina Grad]

Well, Fox News reports that the employee at the Hawaii Emergency Management Agency who mistakenly sent a missile alert to Hawaiians on Saturday has been reassigned to another position.

[Brian Bishop]

That's madness.

[Gina Grad]

Yep. The unnamed worker caused widespread panic when a wrong button was pushed, triggering an alarm that was sent to cell phones warning of a, quote, ballistic missile threat inbound to Hawaii.

[Brian Bishop]

And it said, like, this is not. This is not a hoax or whatever.

[Adam Carolla]

Yes.

[Gina Grad]

This is not a drill.

[Brian Bishop]

That's right. Drill.

[Gina Grad]

The agency announced that the employee will still report for work, but has been reassigned. Will not have access to the warning system anymore.

[Tony Danza]

Yeah, they'll fix the vending machine.

[Gina Grad]

The false alarm left Hawaiians scrambling to find a safe place to seek shelter. And the panic lasted 38 minutes before another alert was issued saying it was a false alarm. Here it says, it looks like an Amber alert. That comes up. Emergency alert in all caps. Ballistic missile threat inbound to Hawaii. Seek immediate shelter. This is not a drill.

[Tony Danza]

Dude, imagine being a stoned Hawaii guy, like, working on your surfboard, and that just pops up. Like, what do you do?

[Adam Carolla]

I got a theory here. This guy knows a guy. This guy's been married for 17 years and hasn't got a BJ in 15 years. And he's like, hey, man, you got to do me a solid.

[Brian Bishop]

I'll do anything for him.

[Gina Grad]

It's the end of the world. What are we gonna do?

[Adam Carolla]

It's gonna be the best roadhead I've ever got. Like, we're going to be timing it, so we drive under the freeway sign, and I'm just going to pull over in my. In my stage way. I'm going to look at my wife and go, look, there are no shelters. There's really nothing we could do. It's been so long. Yeah, like, really?

[Tony Danza]

You want to go?

[Bob Saget]

Yeah.

[Tony Danza]

How do you want to go out? How do you want to be remembered?

[Adam Carolla]

All right, hold on. You're right, kids. Put the beach towel over your head. No, you're right. Leaving home. You're right. No, you're right. Leave the kids at home. Leave the kids at home.

[Tony Danza]

It's a good little lesson to. For them to learn.

[Adam Carolla]

If that's right. Right for yourself, then when you're done and you still got, like, 41 minutes to kill.

[Brian Bishop]

Yeah.

[Bob Saget]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

You know, and you're like, let's go to the Golden Crown. She's like, what? Aren't you worried? Oh, yeah. I just got another text.

[Tony Danza]

The missile's not coming for another hour. Yeah, we can get some biscuits.

[Gina Grad]

Live it up.

[Tony Danza]

That is Great. Yeah. It could have been accidental.

[Adam Carolla]

Could have been an inside job.

[Tony Danza]

I think you're right. I want to believe that.

[Adam Carolla]

I want to believe that too. I'd like to believe we're living in that world.

[Gina Grad]

Well, yeah, speaking of things you'd want to believe, women seem to be watching a lot more porn. According to the New York Post. According to number crunchers over at pornhub, women are watching more dirty movies than ever. Here's how they figured it out. Out of the 24.7 billion searches on the site last year, the number one search was porn for women, a term that saw a 359% growth among female users between 2016 and 2017.

[Adam Carolla]

Still can be dud. Trying to get it into the bedroom. Yeah, with them.

[Katie Couric]

Yeah.

[Gina Grad]

That's when they seem to be watching more porn. Do any of you ever search porn for women? Is that anyone's?

[Tony Danza]

If I'm trying to be a good Samaritan, yeah. There's an old lady on my street who doesn't have Internet, you know, trying.

[Brian Bishop]

To win a bet.

[Gina Grad]

Right, exactly.

[Tony Danza]

Haven't women been watching porn? Maybe it's just now being like, put out there and like, like claimed. But I don't know. I feel like I know quite a few gals that have. Have been watching porn for a while and maybe just not talking about finally catching up. Or is it really been a dude driven business?

[Gina Grad]

But it's kind of a twofold thing because, yeah, they're saying women are now actively searching for this, but the term that they're searching for is porn for women. So they are led to believe that men are not searching for this term because men don't give a shit about the massage.

[Tony Danza]

So now they're actively searching. So before they were accidentally stumbling, like typing in Google, but then it would come up, giddy up titties. And they were like, oh, well, I'll stick around on this side for a couple minutes now that I'm.

[Brian Bishop]

See where this goes.

[Tony Danza]

See where this goes.

[Adam Carolla]

Rose.

[Gina Grad]

Yeah. How do you know my porn name?

[Tony Danza]

Giddy updates.

[Gina Grad]

All right, so it says most search terms for women by gender. I'm sorry, I'm having a hard time reading. Oh, lesbian is a women's favorite and milk by MILF is men's favorite for women. Oh, more specifically for women. Lesbian scissoring.

[Tony Danza]

Yeah, let's break it down then.

[Gina Grad]

Threesome. Hentai. Japanese tentacle.

[Tony Danza]

Is that the tattoo you get at Venice Beach?

[Brian Bishop]

What?

[Tony Danza]

No, that's henna.

[Gina Grad]

Isn't hentai like the, like demons and octopus, like cartoon Stuff.

[Adam Carolla]

It's.

[Brian Bishop]

It's like anime.

[Gina Grad]

Yeah, right.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, it's so sick.

[Gina Grad]

Yeah.

[Katie Couric]

Oh, yeah.

[Gina Grad]

Like, things are horribly awry for the lady.

[Adam Carolla]

Sure.

[Gina Grad]

Then just straight up Japanese after that. Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

The fact we're looking at women's and we're looking at men. Yeah.

[Bob Saget]

This is great. The fact.

[Brian Bishop]

Gina, can you read these slowly?

[Gina Grad]

Sure.

[Brian Bishop]

Clearly into the microphone.

[Adam Carolla]

The fact.

[Tony Danza]

Lesbian Squirt coming in dead last. But their soft drink is.

[Gina Grad]

I prefer the diet.

[Tony Danza]

Yeah, the diet Lesbian Squirt.

[Bob Saget]

Yes.

[Adam Carolla]

Today's PGA Lesbian Squad L PGA is brought to you by Lesbian Squirt. The dinosaur classic gonna return this month.

[Tony Danza]

It's the Mr. Pib for gals.

[Adam Carolla]

Listen, ladies, the fact that you guys have that anime porn, many slots above big black dick just shows how far you have not come in the last 20 years. You really need to get your act together.

[Tony Danza]

By the way, is there not an ABC under rough sex? Like, is that just, you know, what. What are we. How rough?

[Gina Grad]

Yeah. How are we to interpret that? Just a couple of, you know, some hair pulling or are we talking to the drywall?

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah.

[Gina Grad]

All right, so. So that's the women's list for the most part.

[Tony Danza]

The men's man looks pretty milf.

[Gina Grad]

Stepmom, Japanese hentai.

[Adam Carolla]

I don't like.

[Tony Danza]

The teen is. So that's.

[Adam Carolla]

Wait a second.

[Gina Grad]

They have stepmom and mom and teen all clustered together. Then lesbian stepsister, 3D, anal, virtual reality, over.

[Tony Danza]

What is Overwatch? Overboard movie. Is that what they meant to put?

[Brian Bishop]

According to Kaylin, Overwatch is a video game.

[Tony Danza]

Oh, no.

[Brian Bishop]

Oh, yeah. So maybe they just thought it was their Google bar.

[Adam Carolla]

I don't know. Massage.

[Tony Danza]

I'll put massage up higher.

[Gina Grad]

Ebony and Asian.

[Adam Carolla]

I like to see ebony up there, especially on this holiday.

[Gina Grad]

Wait, how do you.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, I think. I think certainly for Martin Luther King Day, I'd like to see ebony bump up a little bit.

[Gina Grad]

Yeah. Just to celebrate.

[Bob Saget]

Yeah, man.

[Adam Carolla]

It's at least a good doctor.

[Bob Saget]

Yeah.

[Gina Grad]

Why are dudes so into the incest fantasy? Because it comes up on here. 1, 2, 3.

[Tony Danza]

You're asking the wrong dudes, I think.

[Brian Bishop]

Doesn't have to be your stepmom.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, okay.

[Brian Bishop]

Someone else's stepmom.

[Adam Carolla]

All right, here's what I think. I think. I don't know. First off, ebony and Asian should not be bringing up the rear here. I don't want to turn into a racial thing, but ebony and Asian should be much higher up.

[Tony Danza]

Who made this list?

[Adam Carolla]

On that list. And that hentai thing, that weird anime stuff. Bizarre. It's crazy. Don't get it. But the stepmom and the stepsister. I think now since 50% of marriages are ending up in divorce, 40% of people grow up with a stepmom and a stepsister they're not related to. And it's a weird thing to take a crazy, horny 13 year old boy and go, hey, here's your 17 year old blonde sister. She's your sister. And you'll hear her like in the shower or something. I mean, that's a crazy pressure to put on. So a lot of guys might have some weird late, like, thoughts about this that they never acted out on, but now there's a fantasy version of it. Very good theory, because this probably didn't exist. Well, all this didn't exist. But what I mean is, I don't know what percentage of guys are growing up with a stepsister and a stepmom and all that, but it's a lot more than it used to be.

[Bob Saget]

I could.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, I mean, hold on. Oh, this is the theme to Taboo too. He's got it all. Yes, he does.

[Brian Bishop]

Explain to Adam why this is relevant.

[Adam Carolla]

He's having sex with his sister. This is a song about a man who's having sex with his mom and his sister.

[Brian Bishop]

It's called Taboo.

[Adam Carolla]

So beautiful. Does it with me. Oh, yes, he does.

[Gina Grad]

More than brother and sister. They were lovers.

[Tony Danza]

I hate how catchy it is.

[Adam Carolla]

You knew him, Maybe you did, but you don't. That's the word. I make the move. Like when you see me do it on stage.

[Tony Danza]

Is this your karaoke?

[Adam Carolla]

Go to you porn, karaoke all. And when he does, he satisfies me.

[Tony Danza]

Can you please go on Lip Sync Battle and single this against.

[Adam Carolla]

Just what he could do? Jesus gets the audience to do that part because he can't hit the high notes, right? And then there's Got to get it on. I mean, there should be a karaoke for porn themes.

[Tony Danza]

You know, we had an episode of who's the Buck?

[Adam Carolla]

Gotta get it on, Gotta get it on.

[Tony Danza]

It was a shitty story anyway.

[Bob Saget]

I'll wrap that up. Yeah, no.

[Tony Danza]

Hey, message received.

[Adam Carolla]

Corona show. Yeah.

[Brian Bishop]

Last week, I think it was Rob Schneider who walked past that poster and points to goes, I've seen that movie.

[Adam Carolla]

Felipe.

[Brian Bishop]

Points at the post office. I've seen that movie.

[Gina Grad]

Yeah.

[Tony Danza]

When did it come out? 80s? Yeah, probably.

[Adam Carolla]

It was one of these. I didn't have it. My dad didn't have it. We didn't even have a vcr. But I had a friend who had.

[Tony Danza]

Thank God for that, dad.

[Adam Carolla]

Thanks for that. Well, I'm gonna have to have that discussion, I think. Oh, we don't need it anymore. I mean, what I'm saying is, like, when I was a kid, the friend's dad had. The friend's dads all had to get together and go, look, one of us gotta be a perv. Because our kids are gonna have to have stories where my dad didn't even have a playbook. But I'd go to Robbie Johnson's house. His dad had a full stack in a big collection of VCRs, you know, whatever tapes, almost. The first time I met Jimmy Kimmel, I was like, something, something Sex Boat. And he's like, sex Boat. I'm like, you watch Sex Boat. I didn't have Sex Boat. But my friend's dad. And he's like, my friend's dad had Sex Boat. That was our mother. That was our movie. We had.

[Tony Danza]

Do girls have an equivalent for that for, like, having friends? Like, my mom had all these dildos. Like, is there something like.

[Gina Grad]

Oh, I don't. I don't think there's any.

[Brian Bishop]

It's probably nail polish.

[Tony Danza]

Nail polish?

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah.

[Gina Grad]

Okay, question for you.

[Tony Danza]

Different.

[Gina Grad]

Did anyone ever masturbate to the theme song from Bride of Chucky?

[Adam Carolla]

Whoa.

[Tony Danza]

Dear Diary.

[Gina Grad]

I was just wondering if that was.

[Adam Carolla]

As popular as Taboo Till. No, that's. Oh, wait, her sister. Right the. Damn it. Sorry.

[Gina Grad]

Is Meg Tilly?

[Katie Couric]

No, that was Jennifer.

[Adam Carolla]

Jennifer Tilly. Sorry, Jennifer Tilly. I'm thinking about Meg.

[Gina Grad]

No problem.

But wait till I'm, as previously discussed, don't do it in the middle of stuff because I don't want Brian and Gina to go, oh, hey, there you go. But like in the middle of which.

[Brian Bishop]

We want to do well, people just react. Yes.

So LifeLock previously discussed LifeLock.com yeah, that's right. Use the promo code Adam. And also, of course, Simplisafe, another good sponsor. Simply save. Now, Gary, you may fly that visual up on the screen, which is the rubber tree that my grandmother used to decorate. We never got a Christmas tree. We just had a rubber tree. It was a potted plant and you put one bulb on it, it would fall over. Oh.

[Gina Grad]

Not only is that incredibly depressing, but is there a worse name than the rubber tree?

[Adam Carolla]

No, no. And nothing less Christmassy because it's very tropical.

[Brian Bishop]

The image of the worst, one branch falling over with the one ornament.

[Gina Grad]

One kid just trying to get out the door.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, God. What's wrong with my goddamn family?

[Gina Grad]

This is sad.

[Adam Carolla]

It's not that hard. It's really not that hard. You spend a couple bucks, you get a Christmas tree, make a little fun out of it, and there you go. We did it. We just were actually decorating ours last night. Sonny doesn't give a shit but Natalia's pump.

[Gina Grad]

Oh, yeah, hi.

[Adam Carolla]

Did I say good day? Gina? Grand good day to you. And bald Brian, you've dropped me.

[Brian Bishop]

That's right, Sonny, I did drop you. In the fantasy football playoffs. That is.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, yeah, he's checking 11 year old's ass. He's all up in the fantasy football world. All right, couple of thoughts.

[Gina Grad]

How big's a tree?

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, I got an eight. Like a nine footer. It's a. It's a big boy. Yeah.

[Katie Couric]

Nine.

[Adam Carolla]

Nine times nine. The. It's just. It's like, go for it. I hate spending money on stuff that's already dead, like a Christmas tree and certain prostitutes. But I mean, inside, physically, I'm not a weirdo. But the difference between the super kick ass tree and the lackluster trees, about 50 bucks, maybe 75 bucks. And in terms of the. The pump you get when you bring it home and the kids and you just amortize it over 21 days or whatever it is, and it ends up being $3.21 a day that you get this big kick out of this big thing in your house. Go for it.

[Gina Grad]

I'm sure you never did it, Adam, because you had a rubber tree and I've never had a Christmas tree. But what do you guys. Where do you fall on flocking? Is it called flocking? Yeah, yeah, those very kitschy retro red and purple.

[Adam Carolla]

I'm not down with the weird ironic trees. It's all tradition for me. It's all the message. And I don't care about, again, the fake trees. Cheaper. It's faster. And people keep getting deeper. They're like, oh, man, I'll have that thing put up and tear that thing down in 45 minutes. Matter of fact, I'll have my assistant just show up and just. And it's like eventually you're not even there.

[Gina Grad]

Yeah. You don't feel anything.

[Brian Bishop]

You've outsourced it completely.

[Adam Carolla]

Yes. I was having this conversation with somebody at my house, but I was thinking about Christy, your wife, baking. And there's this thing where it's like two ways of thinking. One is, can we. Shall we bake? And then the next one is, well, why should you bake? We can just. You don't have to knead all the dough. Hey, Gary, do me a favor and tell Saget to step away from whatever. I try to encourage people to not have conversations by the door when we're doing a show. I don't blame them, but I do blame the people that don't tell them to move, which is on our side.

[Gina Grad]

So cookies.

[Adam Carolla]

The cookies.

[Brian Bishop]

Baking is a pain in the ass. You can just easily go down and get.

[Adam Carolla]

They invented a log. They have a log of pre made. Sure do. You can buy a log of pre made dough, in which case all you have to do is slice it and let it fall over like a manhole cover onto the sheet. And then you put that into the. I'll guarantee, by the way, seven and a half out of ten times those are burnt because the person forgets about it and leaves it in the oven too long or whatever it is.

[Gina Grad]

It didn't matter in the first place.

[Adam Carolla]

Didn't matter in the first place. And. Or you can just buy cookies and. Or you can go to Grubhub and have someone bring you cookies, and eventually you can just lay down and somebody can put them in your mouth and move your jaw, you Simpson style with the conveyor belt. But that's not what we're here for. And if it is, then just kill yourself on your 13th birthday. Happy Hanukkah, and you're a man now.

[Bob Saget]

Yes.

[Adam Carolla]

Thank you. Yeah. Kill yourself. I, I, I, I get it. Everything's a pain in the ass. Driving a stick shift car is a pain in the ass. Rebuilding, rebuilding or building your own bookshelves, it's a pain in the ass. Making your own turkeys a pain in it. Everything's a pain in the ass. Well, then kill yourself, because life's a pain in the ass. But if you don't have the balls to kill yourself, then make some goddamn cookies and enjoy your life. Jesus Christ.

[Bob Saget]

Well said.

[Gina Grad]

And I bet Christy has the same Feeling that I.

[Brian Bishop]

This message, message of mirth brought to you.

[Gina Grad]

The reason why I love to cook so much is because I find it to be very therapeutic. Nobody's allowed in the kitchen. I think I concentrate. I like to create stuff. And I'm sure she's the same way.

[Brian Bishop]

She loves chopping. She, like she said, chopping is therapeutic. The chopping of the whatever, sort of meditative.

[Gina Grad]

I love it.

[Brian Bishop]

It's rhythmic, it's repetitive.

[Adam Carolla]

Yes.

[Brian Bishop]

Some people are into it. I'm glad that she's one of them.

[Adam Carolla]

Try not to avoid life, everybody. Yeah. All right. Now, speaking of food or beverage or whatever, we're on. I like to go. I like to see how the younger. The younger kids are living these days. And we got Chris, the intern over at the other shop. And sweet guy, a dutiful guy, announced to him that if Friday was Casual Friday, I needed Thursday to be Overdressed Thursday. And he now wears a tie on Overdressed Thursday because I need to compensate for Friday. So he does that.

[Gina Grad]

How old is he?

[Adam Carolla]

24. His mom, what does casual Friday be.

[Brian Bishop]

Like at the other shop?

[Adam Carolla]

I know I'm looking at Albert on.

[Brian Bishop]

A black hoodie and a black guy.

[Adam Carolla]

Just wearing a barrel, so. So his mom packs him a lunch every day, which I'm a little obsessed with, especially when you're 24. But his mom packs a lunch. So I want to know what was in today's lunch. Well, first off, his mom makes him two sandwiches, which I like. Chicken sandwich. Chicken sandwiches on roll. Chicken meat sandwich. Not chicken salad on a roll. Chicken sandwich. I said, what's that come with? Because chicken itself's a little bit dry when just on a roll. You got tomato, you got onion. No, nothing. Nothing. Mayonnaise? No. Mustard? No. Just a thick, store bought cold roll. Cause there's an ice pack in his lunch pack. Cold roll and just cold white chicken in between. I don't know how you could eat that without taking a swig off a bota bag like every 10 seconds. But fine.

[Gina Grad]

But that was his request, I assume.

[Adam Carolla]

And then I said, blues. That's the time I said, he's never like. I do like this one. I like all the guys who go, I never liked. Fill in the blank. Ever since I was eight. Okay, Dawson, you know what I didn't like when I was eight? Pussy. Know what else I didn't like? Scotch.

[Brian Bishop]

Now guess where I drink my Scotch album.

[Adam Carolla]

I didn't like almost anything when I was 8 because I was goddamn 8. But then you become an adult and things Change.

[Brian Bishop]

Pick out the. When I was eight, kids or kids, I used to pick out the avocados out of my salad. My mom would, idiot, scoop them all, give them over here. I'm like, oh, those are slimy.

[Adam Carolla]

And I don't know, but why? But all the things you couldn't do or didn't like or, you know, believed in Superman and the Easter Bunny. Yeah, when you're eight. When you're eight. But now you're an adult. So this is how it works.

[Gina Grad]

Assume you've evolved.

[Adam Carolla]

How's it work for military recruitment? Oh, I can't do that. When I was 8, I could have never got off a Higgins ship and fought the Japanese in Guadalcanal. Like, I can't. No, I know, but now you're 20 something years old, you're supposed to. But I like this guy Chris. I know it sounds like I don't.

[Gina Grad]

Is he a candidate for will Chris eat it?

[Adam Carolla]

Well, I don't know. So I got into his sandwiches a little bit. It's funny because I have talking to Nate, who runs the whole place in the office, and he's like, I got stuff to talk about. I'm like, I'm out of time. And then five minutes later, he found me taking apart this guy's lunchbox and yelling at him. And Nate's like, you don't have time to talk to me about business, but you have time for this. I said, yes. He's known you this long, so it makes me great. I pulled a sandwich out. He had two sandwiches, two rolls, nothing on them, but yeah.

[Brian Bishop]

The Blues Brothers.

[Adam Carolla]

The Blues Brothers. Wait a minute.

[Brian Bishop]

One whole chicken.

[Adam Carolla]

One whole chicken. And white below for white bread, white toast, right? So I love this song. All right. So I said, now what are you gonna wash this down with? And I started getting into what his mom had packed him to wash this down with because it's too thick. You know those real dense store bought rolls and they get cold and they really get hard and dense. And I said, no. And you got nothing. You got no mayo. You got no Dijonnaise on this thing. Got nothing moist in here. It's made up. Nothing. I said, what are we gonna do here? And so I started getting into his lunchbox. What do I do about this?

[Gina Grad]

It's like Judd Nelson and Michael Anthony Hall.

[Adam Carolla]

And I started pulling beverages out.

[Gina Grad]

4.

[Adam Carolla]

His mom had packed him four beverages. Now he works at a place that is lousy with sodas and soda water and water, bottled water, and so on and so forth. Let me show you A picture of what I pulled out of. Oh, no, no. Oh, Brian, Gina, would you like to comment?

[Gina Grad]

Left to right, we got Half Drunken.

[Brian Bishop]

We got Sunny D on the left.

[Adam Carolla]

Sunny D. I moved on from Sunny D. And I moved on to Mellow Yellow and Mountain Dew. I moved on that because Sunny D, it was a vestige of the past. I don't know adult males that drink Sunny D anymore. I can never figure. When I was nine, I took a hit off Sunny D and like, what is this shit? Because it's not orange juice. It's just weird juice with high fructose everything. Like, it's the. If you want. If you want orange soda. I do not begrudge you if you want orange.

[Brian Bishop]

You do?

[Adam Carolla]

Yes. In this case, if you. It's a lot of calories for not a lot. But I like orange soda. Like, I'm not. I wouldn't drink it just because the calories. And I'd rather have a root beer. But if you don't drink an orange soda, you can drink an orange soda. And if you want to drink an orange juice, by all means drink an orange juice. Sunny D's neither fish nor fowl.

[Brian Bishop]

Ironically, with a sport top, no athlete has ever needed to drink Sunny D.

[Gina Grad]

So he can do it during his marathon. So then we got Canada Dry ginger.

[Adam Carolla]

Ale, which I abide by.

[Gina Grad]

Yeah. Then a Frost flavored, I can only assume whole Gatorade.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, this is the one I make fun of all the time. It's the Glacier Mountain. Gary. Can you blow it up or read it?

[Gina Grad]

I can't play Tahoe in the winter.

[Adam Carolla]

See it. But it's the light blue. It's the translucent blue Glacier Blast 1, which it's not even a flavor to me. Like, just Gatorade is a flavor. Go get the Gatorade.

[Brian Bishop]

The lemon lime. The original.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah.

[Gina Grad]

And then the last one, I believe it was like a Lipton green tea flavored tea.

[Adam Carolla]

It was comical. Cause it was locale.

[Gina Grad]

Oh, God.

[Adam Carolla]

Balance that Sunny day just drank 2,000 calories. Glacier freeze.

[Gina Grad]

Glacier freeze. Are you between the sport top and the Gatorade? Is he doing laps in between working for you?

[Adam Carolla]

24. He doesn't. It doesn't. It doesn't matter. I'm just saying, I don't know what the hell goes on. What goes on? Could you think of a worse. If somebody said to you, look, if I was going to the gas chamber this afternoon, I'd be like, you know what? I still worry about my health in the afterlife or I don't want to Plots myself on the way there. Or if the thing doesn't go wrong. I don't want to regurgitate this. I don't want to taste the sunny D again. I can't think of more empty calories than this combination he's put together. All chemicals, all calories, zero. Anything. Right.

[Brian Bishop]

We got a new partner for Will Blank eats. Because no one knows where this guy's.

[Gina Grad]

There's no way. If I drank all of those in one day, I would never be able to leave the bathroom.

[Adam Carolla]

Yes.

[Gina Grad]

That's just a horrible, horrible situation.

[Adam Carolla]

It's great. So anyway, pulled apart his lunch pail.

[Gina Grad]

I'm sure he will never bring lunch again.

[Brian Bishop]

And then he'll, jealous, gets pushed back even more.

[Adam Carolla]

Still jealous at his mom. Make some lunch.

[Brian Bishop]

That's great.

[Adam Carolla]

All right, let's see. Speaking. Oh, Somebody had to anger me yesterday in this department. Had a meeting at CBS yesterday. A meeting that took place at three. CBS Radford. That's out here 10 minutes where they went to. Had about five, six guys. They always show up at three. They wait for me in the lobby. I finished my podcast. I ran over there. I got there about 3:10. They're all in the lobby. And I was having that feeling of, man, I'm starting to drag a little. It's been a long day. And when you get to the third floor of CBS Radford, you see the coffee. This, like, Starbucks big hoppers with this coffee in it where you just pump it. Oh, all right. And I started walking at the coffee, and then Nate, who was at the meeting, went like, don't. Don't do it or something. And I went, what? And he goes, you're gonna get angry. And I was like, huh? And I hit the coffee, regular coffee, one bone dry. Cause it was 3:15 in the afternoon. They put the thing out at 8 in the morning. It's bone dry. Then they went, don't touch the decaf. I had to pick up the decaf.

[Bob Saget]

Full.

[Brian Bishop]

Full.

[Adam Carolla]

I mean, I imagine a certain amount of evaporates over the course of the nine hours. It says it's just completely and utterly full. And the other one, I'm sure had been empty since 11am it just sits there all day empty. And the other one sits there a full. Which is fine if you do it one time.

[Gina Grad]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

But if the next day, whoever's in charge of that table tops this one off, dumps out every day, that same person can be in charge of dumping out all the decaf. And then they have to brew up a pot of decaf and a pot of regular. And then they'll put it out. Then the regular be gone by 10:45. And then they'll get some inquiries about. Do you have more? Oh, well, we got the. Then there'll be the weird confusion. We got decaf. No, no regular coffee. We could send a guy on a run or, or you could simply make them both coffee and the folks that feel like. Like at 3:30 in the afternoon and they were starting to drag a little in the energy department and they wanted a lateral move, a move of nothing. A move laterally.

[Brian Bishop]

Taste of coffee in their mouth.

[Caller/Guest]

Yes.

[Adam Carolla]

I'd like my teeth to be a shade darker for this meeting. What can I do? But I don't want more energy. No.

[Brian Bishop]

Last thing I want is caffeine.

[Adam Carolla]

And I'm hoping if the meeting goes longer than 40 minutes, I'll have to piss feverishly at some point. So those are the two things I'm looking for. Not energy, like a little darker on the teeth. I'd like to have to piss at some point. Do you have a beverage for that?

[Gina Grad]

You are in for a treat.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh good. We have something called decaf. Those people don't need decaf. And again, nobody. I know how. There were six people that had showed up. They'd all gone for the coffee. We're out of it. You do that thing where you start feeling like a junkie, where you pick it up and you start shaking it around a little. You tilt it and pump, tilt it and pump it. Like a couple of drops come out. It's not enough to even heat up. You just shotgun it a little bit.

[Brian Bishop]

Rabbit, putting your tongue in the ball. Just keep trying to get it out.

[Adam Carolla]

Yes, yes. Or you could just make them both. Or perhaps if you needed to do a third of decaf, although no one would ever touch that.

[Gina Grad]

What would be wrong with just one small drip pot of decaf and then the two huge urns of coffee again.

[Brian Bishop]

Making way too much sense.

[Adam Carolla]

The decaf. Nobody needs decaf at 3:30 in the afternoon. It's like it's kneadable because it has no active ingredient. It's like saying I need a cigarette with no nicotine or I need some pot with no THC in it. There's no anything. There's no active ingredient in it. So you don't need it.

[Brian Bishop]

You got any beer? I'm kind of.

[Adam Carolla]

Yes, you could like the taste of it if you're insane. In which case then provide it for yourself. And with the ratio that comes through the door being at less than 10 people per one, please adjust. Yeah, it'll never be done. Don't do it to yourself. If I go back there, I'll make. I'll tell you what. I'll go back there in a week, and it'll be the exact same thing. Sitting. It's not even a week. I'm sure it's been years. Yeah. This is a random time of day. Of course.

[Gina Grad]

I certainly hope this is what the meeting became about.

[Brian Bishop]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

It started to become my coffee.

[Brian Bishop]

Never knew you're such an enthusiast.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, the worst part about all of this is if you talk to the person who's working, this is the part that's insanely confounding me. If you talk to the receptionist person who's sitting closest to where this is set up with the pots on there and everything. And if you said, oh, you're out of regular. Do you have any more regular? That person would say, everybody asks that every time. Everybody always wants to know it. It's like, at what point do you get. All right, yeah, okay. I'm angry. It's fine.

[Gina Grad]

I was a meeting.

[Brian Bishop]

I was gonna say, thank God it's only once in a while.

[Adam Carolla]

It was. It was fruitful. The ladies.

[Brian Bishop]

So you'll be going back?

[Adam Carolla]

I hope I go back, because I'm going right for that goddamn coffee pot. It was funny. Poor Nate was like, don't. Don't go near the pot.

[Brian Bishop]

Oh, you knew. Head off with the pass.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. I don't want you ranting on the way to this person's office. But I went anyway, because I'm a. I'm a. I'm a hero. All right. In the. I'm going later on to be today to be interviewed by Mike Tyson. What? And he's doing a podcast. He's interviewing me, which I'm curious about, because in my world, all I do is interview Mike Tyson. But Mike Tyson never interviews me. Never would.

[Brian Bishop]

Tables have turned.

[Gina Grad]

Are you gonna sort of help him out, or are you just gonna sit back and see how it goes?

[Adam Carolla]

I have no idea what to expect, but I'll keep you guys posted. I'm going golden boy later on, and I'm going to be on Tyson's podcast. So I'll tell you how that goes. First, I'll tell you about LifeLock holiday shopping from your mobile device. Scammers can steal your credit card info and other data with phony retail apps. Man. Only download apps from reputable stores and read reviews for complaints about malware. Get it together. I just got a weird Email. They did. It's like there's some invoice that I paid and I got this weird email saying, hey, you got to pay your invoice for the same company but like a different account and different this, that and the other.

[Brian Bishop]

So they make it look very sophisticated.

[Adam Carolla]

My greatest fear is not paying an invoice and then blowing the person off when they go, hey, you owe us the money. Because I have other people pay it. So sometimes I don't know if that person paid. And I said to Matt and Matt looked at it, went, don't open it.

[Brian Bishop]

Yeah, don't click on the link.

[Adam Carolla]

Suspicious. Yeah, suspicious. But I could open it because I got Lifelocked. You guys need to get Lifelock because of identity theft. It's a big damn deal out there.

[Caller/Guest]

Matt, ace man, get it on.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, speaking of Matt, tell Fondelier he is sliding down the depth charts on Guys I'm angry about beverages for he's been put in the creamer, the weird creamer in his coffee. Now I found Chris. Forget it. I'm on.

[Brian Bishop]

Bigger and better sights are set on someone else.

[Adam Carolla]

That's right. Go ahead, Matt.

[Caller/Guest]

Hey, man. Was just watching a movie called the Recruit. Don't know if you've come across it. Colin Farrell, Al Pacino. Yeah, I mean, just a decent kind of CIA movie. And lo and behold, in the middle of the movie, you and Jimmy Kimmel make a cameo in a man show clip that's just kind of put into the background, I think for a little bit of, I don't know, comic timing or whatever in the scene and I hear your voice, I thought like, what was that about? Did they contact you? They used it. You knew about it.

[Adam Carolla]

I have some recollection about somebody saying to us at some point, oh, hey, this movie with Colin Farrell they want to make and they want to use a clip of the man show. Like he's watching TV in his hotel room or something like that. And I just remember me and Jim just went like, yeah, okay. And that was the end of it. I don't remember.

[Caller/Guest]

Do you know what bit they use?

[Adam Carolla]

No, it's weird.

[Caller/Guest]

They use the Man Pond bit.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, it sounds familiar.

[Gina Grad]

Do you get residuals for that?

[Adam Carolla]

Not that I'm aware of. Yeah, I don't know why. Man Pond was a weird bit that I thought was, like, fairly amusing, but not one of my favorites. But people seem to like the Man Pond bit, and I don't know why they like the Man Pond bit. I think it's just because of the horrible acting or the way it was structured or whatever it is. Now I want to hear. Now you gotta find the Man Pond bit. Gary. Thanks, Matt.

[Brian Bishop]

Never saw the Recruitment.

[Caller/Guest]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

Man.

[Brian Bishop]

Directed by a guy named Roger Donaldson. Do you know who that is?

[Adam Carolla]

Yes.

[Brian Bishop]

He directed a documentary McLaren this last year. So he may either know you or like you or have some sort of crossroads.

[Adam Carolla]

That's an interesting thought. Yeah. The McLaren. It's a really interesting story.

[Brian Bishop]

Director of Species. Oh, it all comes together.

[Gina Grad]

How do you care?

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, man. Yeah, McLaren's a doc about the racing, the racer McLaren, the car you're aware of. But there was a guy who raced cars and then built cars named Bruce McLaren, and that's what the story's about. Interesting documentary. All right, let's see. Sandra. Oh, Monterrey. Oh, this Sandra. Sandra. Sandra.

[Caller/Guest]

Time listener. Chance time caller.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. What's going on, Sandra?

[Caller/Guest]

I have a good story about what I received, but I'd like to know what you guys. What is your meanest Christmas gift you've ever received?

[Gina Grad]

I got one.

[Caller/Guest]

I know you. I know you've got the lame ones, but what's the meanest one?

[Adam Carolla]

Lynette got me a zit zapper about 10 years ago, and I remember just kind of looking at her going, thanks, but I don't really have zits. She's like, yeah, but you get ready to shoot a movie. And I thought, okay, semi thoughtful. Yeah, but some sort of electronic, like, zit zapper I could have definitely used in high school, but I don't really. I get the shaving rash or, like, an ingrown hair, but I don't really get zits, per se.

[Brian Bishop]

This is going to sound like a joke, but seriously, I had an aunt, have an aunt who at the time, for many years, had a hair studio, hair salon. She did hair, women's hair, some men's hair, and owned it for many years. And for a number of years in my teen years and on, she would get all of us cousins. There were like eight or ten of us, like, hair products, like a gel, which was cool when I was like, you know, 13, 14 years old. High end stuff. And she got a good deal on it, and she gave it to us as a Christmas gift. And around age 19 or 20, she kept giving me the hair gel, which I obviously had no use for. At one point, a very crowded Lorenzini family Christmas. I had to point out, is this some kind of a joke? Am I not in on this joke? That everybody. And of course laughed and she was like a little embarrassed. And I'm like, you're giving me hair products.

[Gina Grad]

What's worse, her continuing to ignore it or her saying, everybody gets hair products. But Brian, everybody knows why.

[Brian Bishop]

I don't. Good point. It was three years at least, that I got the products that I did not need. I clearly had no use for.

[Adam Carolla]

It's interesting.

[Brian Bishop]

And then one year, she got me a razor, which was a nice little scalp electric razor.

[Gina Grad]

I don't know if this is mean. It was just kind of rude. We had a Secret Santa when I lived in New York at the office I worked in. And this dude, I had rebuffed his advances and he pulled my name for the Secret Santa. You spend money on this stuff, you know, I didn't have any money, but I got someone, you know, something nice. And everybody got something really nice and high end. And we. There was a minimum of like $30, which is a lot when you make nothing. So everybody's going around getting the really cool presents. And I opened mine, and it is. So we're in December. This was a re gifted. Last year's Easter basket that had been opened that he gave to me.

[Katie Couric]

Wow.

[Gina Grad]

I've never celebrated Easter. I can do the math on when this is from. And the cellophane was already torn.

[Adam Carolla]

But that's because you'd rebuffed him, right?

[Gina Grad]

I can only assume it was because he was very hurt.

[Adam Carolla]

Sandra, that's pretty good.

[Caller/Guest]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

What'd you get?

[Caller/Guest]

Yeah. My mom and my aunt had a big fight about how lazy my mom was about parenting. We were about 10, nine, and six, us three girls. So my aunt gave us, each of us girls, washcloths and underwear.

[Gina Grad]

Oh.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh.

[Gina Grad]

I was more to stick it to mom.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. Yeah. Now I'm, you know, I'll take some socks, some underwear.

[Brian Bishop]

Socks.

[Adam Carolla]

Let's see. Michael, 26, Illinois.

[Caller/Guest]

What's going on, guys?

[Adam Carolla]

Hey, man.

[Caller/Guest]

Hey. The other night, I was listening to the show. Always a fan, and I was. I happened. Happened to stumble across your Wikipedia page. And in my narrow mind, Wikipedia is a pretty popular source for information. Maybe not trusted, but popular. And have you ever noticed the picture that is used for you on Wicked? I feel like it could be the easiest part of a Wikipedia page to make.

[Adam Carolla]

Whoever was in charge of that, I'd.

[Gina Grad]

First, as a radio person, like to know how Leo laporte made it into the picture.

[Adam Carolla]

Leo laporte is first and foremost, and Donnie's in the picture. And then I'm.

[Brian Bishop]

It's his imaging up top. It's Leo's, like, podcast.

[Gina Grad]

That's my first question. There's others.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, it's. It's weird. I. I don't. I don't know how any of this stuff works. I'm assuming everyone's just insanely lazy.

[Caller/Guest]

No.

[Brian Bishop]

Well, Wikipedia is a little weird because it's all user generated, so someone maybe thought it was funny to put that up and then, you know, it just never got correct.

[Adam Carolla]

I've never. I've never gone there. I've never. I've never seen it.

[Brian Bishop]

Yeah. There is no Wikipedia overlord. It's all user. It's all user.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah.

[Caller/Guest]

It seems to me you would have to work harder to find that picture than to find a good one.

[Gina Grad]

Just a regular, steady image.

[Adam Carolla]

I don't know how anything on the Internet works. I just know that I never thought adults would be as dumb or as lazy or as lazy and dumb as it turns out they are. My eyes are closed in it.

[Gina Grad]

There's just a litany of problems with this picture.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. But either way, I don't care, because my whole thing. I try to tell this to Drew, for the most part, he never listens. He sits around and stares at his phone and obsesses over what is being said about him. And then he tells me how the Internet's gonna drive everyone insane. And then I explain to him, stop looking at your stuff. To stop looking yourself up all the time. And it won't drive you insane, because this Wikipedia thing I never looked at. I've never thought about it. I wouldn't think to go. To go look it up.

[Gina Grad]

The thing I've never understood is when people do a Google alert for their own name. I'm not trying to put myself in a hospital, so I don't want to know.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, I'll tell you this. Other people have Google alerts in my name because that's possible content for what we're doing or talking about, which is fine. I don't have it in my name, but others do, which is fine. And if you do enough stuff on tv, you should probably put your name into your dvr, because there'll be plenty of times when you go back east and go do something and you're on whatever show and you're not home and you don't record it or whatever, and all these various family guys and stuff that pop up and that's different.

[Gina Grad]

That's not some douche talking about you on Reddit.

[Adam Carolla]

No, I get it. That's just me sitting next to an unknown Kevin Hart on Comics Unleashed. And I remember just, like, looking at this little miniature black comedian going, what are you doing?

[Brian Bishop]

Where are you going with this?

[Adam Carolla]

Where are you going with this? I know where I'm going. Straight to the middle. All right, let's see. One more. Let's see. Mike. 30, Connecticut.

[Caller/Guest]

I gotta take this.

[Adam Carolla]

Hey, man.

[Caller/Guest]

Hey, Adam.

[Adam Carolla]

Hey.

[Caller/Guest]

From California. How's it going?

[Adam Carolla]

What's going on? What? Who?

[Brian Bishop]

What happened?

[Caller/Guest]

I said, hey, Adam 53, from California.

[Brian Bishop]

Oh. Cause you say you.

[Adam Carolla]

Yes. Thank you. Yeah, thank you. I like that. What's going on, Mike?

[Caller/Guest]

Not much. I am actually in the process of opening a production brewery with a tap room here in Connecticut.

[Katie Couric]

Yeah.

[Caller/Guest]

And I wanted to get some advice from you on alcohol production and sales gains and best practices, maybe. Crowdfunding advice.

[Gina Grad]

Seems like an awful air question.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, seems like an off the air question that my assistant would answer, but go ahead, Mike.

[Caller/Guest]

No, I just. There's so many tough things with the permitting process and all the labeling, and I guess people are worried about people consuming alcohol, and I just didn't know if you had any advice or best practices in dealing with the man.

[Adam Carolla]

There is no fighting city hall. Like, as I've discussed in the past, they'll have little things where it's like, hey, you need to write it. You need to make a label for your booze. They write a little description of what happened, and then they just reject it. You know, they're like, nah. And you're like, why?

[Brian Bishop]

No appeals board?

[Adam Carolla]

No, try again and take it in line again. It's like such a weird. It's exactly what our founding fathers didn't want. Like, hey, I'd like to start my own business and make my own egg. All right, well, let's see if the government will let you do it. And they go, now you have to write a story about it. My story that I wrote about Mangria was I said, I went to the refrigerator and I went to the liquor cabinet. And they're like, yeah, we don't know no liquor cabinet. And I was like, first of all.

[Brian Bishop]

You can't acknowledge that there is such a thing as liquor cabinet.

[Adam Carolla]

What is. I didn't say what was in the liquor cabinet. I said, I went to the liquor cabinet. I've beat people on these technicalities before, but they're like, no. And then later on, we're talking about the peach pear. And I said, you know, she's a peach of a gal with a great pear, but look out, fellas, she packs a punch. And I was like, no. What do you mean no?

[Gina Grad]

Too clever.

[Adam Carolla]

It implies you could get drunk. And it's like, well, that's a look. People write flammable on sides of WD40 because it's flammable. Like, yeah, the stuff tastes like perfume, and yet it'll get you jacked up. So maybe it should, say, packs a punch and.

[Caller/Guest]

Right.

[Adam Carolla]

Why can't you say an alcohol product, got some pop to it, has alcohol in it. Don't mistake it for 9%. It's 19%, and it'll knock you on your keister. Like, again. It's weird, but there's nothing you can do but just get in line, fill out stuff of have some idiot sort of arbitrarily decide whether you can use this or not use it. And the process is no process. If they just send it back, then you change it. They don't even have to tell you what part of it they don't like.

[Gina Grad]

It's fun.

[Adam Carolla]

But also think about all the semi and fully retarded bureaucratic idiots you've dealt with in your life. Think about. About all those folks that took the easy way out, decided to work for the government, and are basically angry and stupid. Like a great combination, A one, two punch of angry and stupid. And that friend of your mom's that you grew up with with the short cropped hairdo and zero sense of humor. She's gonna be the one who decides whether this label gets okayed or not. Imagine that. What a world we're living. All right. Or where were we? Let's see. Bob Saget's here. We'll bring him in in a couple of few. Yeah. Too lazy to run the man pond bit. You guys have seen it before. It's fine. All right, let's take a very quick break. We'll be right back. Come here. What do we have to do here? Nothing.

[Bob Saget]

I'm a famous guy.

[Adam Carolla]

I'm gonna take a shower. You soon there and have a drink, please. No, I Don't want to drink. No, I won't do a thing. Please. I'm not doing anything with you. Please sit there. Please.

[Bob Saget]

Now you're embarrassing me.

[Adam Carolla]

My mother will.

[Tony Danza]

I swear I won't.

[Adam Carolla]

Just sit with me. Don't embarrass me. In the hotel, I'm here all the time. I will be pacing. Please sit there. No, I don't want. One minute. Come here. No, I don't want. Come here. No, I don't want to. Please. Five minutes.

[Caller/Guest]

Wish I knew.

[Katie Couric]

Please.

[Adam Carolla]

I'm not gonna do anything. I swear, my children.

[Bob Saget]

I'm a famous guy.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, look, he's coming now. No, I don't want. If you embarrass me in this hotel, I'm not embarrassing you. What, does that hurt? My problem? Please. I'm sorry.

[Bob Saget]

Just come on.

[Adam Carolla]

I'm used to that.

[Caller/Guest]

Come on.

[Gina Grad]

You used to that?

[Adam Carolla]

No, but I'm not used to that. I'll do it again. Come on. Sit here. No, I don't want to. I will never do another thing to you. Sorry. Suggested we mash up that song and Weinstein.

[Brian Bishop]

It's a fresh take on an old classic.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, that's right. That's right. For. For kids to enjoy. Good job, Dawson. All right, so R.J. bell is on. Tell R.J. bell to hang on for a second because we got blah, blah, blah, that we got to play. Maybe we'll play that with Sagat. Oh, let's play blah, blah, blah with Sagat. Okay, let's talk to RJ Bell. Rj.

[Caller/Guest]

Hello.

[Adam Carolla]

Hello. What's going on, Matt?

[Caller/Guest]

Oh, just excited about the big weekend of action coming up.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, there's some big, big games. It's funny, I had this thought while I was watching the Patriots lose without getting a first down on third down. Conversions, no conversions. And I thought to myself, now I like to bet on the Pats, but then they're going to the Steelers, and now it gets scary.

[Brian Bishop]

Fights on number one seed.

[Caller/Guest]

Yeah, you know, we'll be. We'll be talking about that game during the Best Bet.

[Adam Carolla]

I. The what I was trying to figure out, I was at the Rams game. And one of the things that drives me a little nutty about being at the games and with the replays as well. One of the biggest plays or series of the game is when Carson Wentz got his ACL torn. But before that, there were, like, two weird, mysterious penalties. Gary, I don't know if you can find this stuff or not. There was a pass the end zone, and they called, like, taunting or something. I Didn't know what it was. I'm sitting on the other side. I'm down on the ground, but I'm like the other side of the end zone. And I'm like, I don't know what that call was.

[Brian Bishop]

If I remember correctly, it was incomplete. But then they gave him a first down because after the play, the defensive.

[Adam Carolla]

Player taunted, I don't know what it was. And then there was another call that was a weird, bad call. And I was like, we just gave this game away. But I don't know what the call. They don't replay the call. And then when you get home, you go, I want to see what that call was. But they don't show it. They just show Wentz throwing a touchdown or wentz getting his ACL torn. Do you know what that was, R.J. bell?

[Caller/Guest]

I don't remember the exact play, but the league has really tried to crack down on the taunting. You know, if you think back to the NBA, let's say 10, 12 years ago, they had a concern that the league was too urban, I guess you'd call it. Right. So they had a dress code and all that stuff. And. And the. The NFL has really tried to make it where, you know, middle America, quite frankly, could relate to the players. And I think the restrictions on a lot of that on the field stuff is driven by that.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, maybe. I'm talking to Gary now. Thank you. I can't remember if the one was on a field goal. So we've got a taunting one here, and I'm reading an article. I'm still digging into it a little bit, but it says that there was a leverage penalty called on a linebacker during a field goal, and it gave them 15 yards and an automatic first down.

[Brian Bishop]

And that was real specious too, because the guy just kind of went up in the air and fell down.

[Adam Carolla]

They threw a pass to the wide, wide out. He didn't catch the ball. And he was jawing at the db and the DB was jawing back like new set of downs also.

[Brian Bishop]

And Jeffrey kind of came up, may have even bumped him in the helmet. And they called the defensive taunting. Taunting on the defensive back in a.

[Adam Carolla]

Game where they're vying for first place. And they just had nothing to do with the play. Nothing to do with the play. What are you. What are you doing? What are you doing? A fresh set of downs for they're 10 and 2.

[Brian Bishop]

Game altering call.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, also, Carson Wentz probably wouldn't have his ACL torn if he didn't get a fresh set of downs down there. I hold on. They just stand up and that. The offensive player hits him with his helmet and starts jawing and the defensive guy jaws him back. And I'm just at the stadium looking, trying to see what just happened. And I know there's a flag in the air, but defensive holding pass interference. No, no. After the play, when they were talking to each other and walking away. Okay, fresh set of downs. And then I don't know what happened with the field goal, but it appears there's a rule that it is illegal for a defensive player to use any part of their body to gain leverage off of an offensive player to an attempt to get up and block the kick. And they called it. But there's. All the articles I'm reading are just experts saying, I cannot see that that is not there. Right. So the best, arguably the best team in football gets down into your team's territory, their first in goal, or whatever it is, your team is fighting for their lives, that, you know, have a lead of a point or a couple of points, they stop them successfully. But then there's two calls that are zeros, essentially giving everyone a fresh set of downs. And then on fourth down, he throws a ball, this torn acl, and they scores. And that's basically the difference in the game. Awesome. Okay. Why are the refs getting so involved with. With this? I hate it, too. Well, first things first, you're not there to see them. Did it have anything to do with the outcome of the play?

[Brian Bishop]

The taunting? Absolutely not. Yeah, Possibly not even the field goal. Stupid leverage play.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. Sorry. All right, so, rj, we're disgusted.

[Caller/Guest]

Well, listen, Adam, I'll be candid with you. You know, I'm a big fan of yours. I think you're distracting from the Adam Crolla jinx.

[Bob Saget]

Right.

[Caller/Guest]

Because when you. Is this the first Rams game you've gone to?

[Adam Carolla]

I went to a preseason game with my dad in 1974, and lo and.

[Caller/Guest]

Behold, this great team loses at home.

[Adam Carolla]

This. Yeah. Now the slide begins.

[Brian Bishop]

The stink of Corolla's all over him.

[Adam Carolla]

God, and your head. And the best quarterback in the league gets pulled out of the game and the backup comes in and beats you at home.

[Brian Bishop]

I think you're sitting pretty at that point.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. All right. Sorry, rj.

[Caller/Guest]

No, I agree with you. I think the league, I think in general, they've got agendas beyond that individual game. But when you really care, and that's what's so tough, I think quickly about caring so much. Right. Because it's one thing to say all those people on Twitter are nuts, but you want them to care that much. If you're the league, that's the only way you will spend that much money for jerseys and tickets. But when you care and the calls seem to be capricious or unrelated to the game, it's very frustrating.

[Adam Carolla]

I remember as if it was yesterday, totally the guy John Biggert guy played with on my team had a missing pinky. You had to have that one kid in your school that had the missing finger with the story behind it always painful. It was never like, oh, what happened to your finger? Well, I fell asleep and an elf stole it. It's never that. It was always, I was wearing a ring and I hopped the fence and the ring got caught on it. And it's like, how else is it gonna be?

[Brian Bishop]

There is no, of course gonna be gruesome.

[Adam Carolla]

There is no story where a 13 year old has their finger removed that ends with, my dad thought my right hand was heavy. So we went to one of the best hand surgeons in America. Yeah, there isn't. It's always something that involves a lawnmower or sprinkler head or ten speed and spokes. There's chipper, like it's.

[Brian Bishop]

There was a guy in the cruise who was missing a thumb and of course, of course, guess, guess who asked him out. Right.

[Adam Carolla]

Hey, what's up with your thumb? Yeah. Okay.

[Brian Bishop]

Right outside the bar the first night.

[Adam Carolla]

Before we got on the boat.

[Gina Grad]

That sounds about right.

[Adam Carolla]

There you go.

[Brian Bishop]

Motorcycle this year.

[Adam Carolla]

Okay, my point is this. When we're playing that team at the last game of the year when I was in 11th grade, and it's when our coach said, we're going to lose and Michael Odom screamed, we're going to win. Down by. At some point at the end of the game, John Biggert was playing defensive end, did one of those. He did one of those things where they were setting up a screen and the quarterback was backpedaling and he threw the screen and bigger, like tipped it to himself, got it deep in their backfield and like took it to the house. And we were down like 21:47 at the time. Like four minutes left in the game. And they threw a flag on one of our DBs for like an illegal block. After he picked it off like way back on the other side of the field. Like, I remember being like 16 going. The guy was nowhere near that. And we're getting crushed. And this guy, all he did was when Jon John picked the ball off 30 yards away, this guy like pushed.

[Brian Bishop]

The other guy, had no impact on the playoffs whatsoever.

[Adam Carolla]

Drives me nuts. Right, RJ Bell.

[Caller/Guest]

Absolutely. And you know, I noticed, Adam, this week you were talking, I saw it on Twitter about how the NFL with the violence and you know, the idea that, hey, these players are, you know, warriors I guess you'd call them. And on the other hand, I think you mentioned the HuffPost and thinking about football, you know, without that mentality. You know, to me that's the conflict today.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. You're asking these guys to essentially be animals out there and then you're telling them to shut it off, like immediately flip a switch as soon as the whistle blows or whatever it is. All right, rj, let's talk about last week. You had the Cardinals and Steelers, right?

[Caller/Guest]

Correct.

[Adam Carolla]

And Cardinals won by five. Wait a minute.

[Brian Bishop]

Yeah, Carl's won by five. He had him plus three. So it was an easy, that was.

[Caller/Guest]

An easy one, baby.

[Brian Bishop]

Rj, easy.

[Caller/Guest]

Well, the other one's coming up, so I got to get excited about the first one.

[Brian Bishop]

Your poor Steelers high scoring affair.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, okay. I'm sorry. I'm getting a little confused. I was looking down. Yeah. And then there's the Steelers, right?

[Caller/Guest]

Yes. And they won the game, but they did not cover the spread.

[Adam Carolla]

Right. Good game. Where you so. Well, let's set you up for this week's picks. Go ahead, Brian. Football, gambling, America. Don't sweat the bed. We got Vegas insider, RJ Bell. This is RJ's parlay. So RJ, what do we got? What do we think about the Patriots and the Steelers?

[Caller/Guest]

Well, we can start there. I like Pittsburgh here. Home underdog, getting three points. It's up to three now.

[Adam Carolla]

I was going to say it's going to go. I don't know where it started. My thought was right after the game I was like, bet the Patriots because whatever it is, it's going to keep moving or.

[Caller/Guest]

Yeah, you know, I don't, I don't think it gets past three because I mean Pittsburgh right now is certainly one of the three or four best teams. We can all debate. I think ESPN has him number one right now. But they're one of the three or four best Teams. Pats are one of the three or four best TeamS. Now here's a little trick for the listeners is if there's a home team or a road team that's favored, if they were home, add six points and that's what they'd be favored at home. So New England's a three point road favorite. They'd be favored by nine in New England. Now, who would you like there, Adam? The PAT's -9 against the Steelers.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, I would take the Steelers in that case.

[Caller/Guest]

And that's the logic. When it's a road team and the numbers lower, people don't tend to see how much value there is on that home dog. And, you know, Pittsburgh's off two tough games, but they played home last week and now they're home again. But the Pats, and this is amazing, this game will be their fifth game on the road the last six weeks.

[Adam Carolla]

Hey, can Belichick stop being such a colossal goddamn douchebag in his press conferences on brand, man, I get it.

[Bob Saget]

But it's.

[Adam Carolla]

But it's like. Well, he doesn't like losing. Yeah. Not many coaches in the NFL, once they get to that level, are in love with losing. I'm sorry. There's something called a press conference, and it's there so you can answer questions about the game. It's part of the gig. And I know you're upset that you lost. Think about all the teams you beat week in and week out and season in and season out, who have to go up and do the goddamn press conference conference. And at some point, maybe three, on average, three and a half times a year, you'll have to give a goddamn press conference. Well, guess what? You didn't win. And people are there, they're doing their jobs, and they have to ask questions. Questions. And I get. Some of them are like, okay, why did you need. You know. You know, you won 0 and 11 on third down conversions. How do you feel about that? Like, okay, that's not a question, but tell us about this strategy or that strategy or what about. Whatever. Whatever it is. Yeah, Bill, you are supposed to answer those questions.

[Brian Bishop]

Well, it is part of the job. It's a small part, but it is part of the job.

[Adam Carolla]

Yes. And you're not supposed to pout when you lose. I don't. It's not dignified. And I don't like it. And I like him and I like Brady and I like the Patriots. I respect all of them. I don't respect this one part of his game where he's got to get up there and pout.

[Gina Grad]

Isn't that kind of Cam Newton's vibe? And didn't he say, you know, well, I'm sorry. I'm trying to show you how much I love the game and how much I love to win by being a total dick when I lose.

[Adam Carolla]

I think I cannot get a total read on Cam Newton.

[Brian Bishop]

Cam kind of gets killed when he does that killed by the social media and the press and all that. And when Bill Belichick does it, he's a winner. He hates to lose. Heart as nails, Coach.

[Adam Carolla]

He's not a winner. He's a douchebag.

[Brian Bishop]

You can be a prick.

[Adam Carolla]

Yes, rj, Thoughts?

[Caller/Guest]

I think I believe in the genius pass. And if it's. If it's a comedian, if it's whomever.

[Adam Carolla]

I. Woody Allen, the for mentioned Weinstein. These guys are all creative. Gen Y. I agree with Texas.

[Caller/Guest]

It's not a get out of jail free card. It's a pack pass. If you're a little quirky, right? Bob Dylan, a little quirky.

[Adam Carolla]

Now there is quirky.

[Caller/Guest]

You've got some geniuses.

[Adam Carolla]

No, look, Norm MacDonald is quirky, but Bill Belichick will talk your ear off about X's and O's. Except for not after he loses. Then he pouts. And also, stop putting all the reporters in a horrible position for attempting to do their job. They have to cover this. They have to ask questions. And they're gig, it's not your wife and you're angry at her. These are just strangers and you're throwing the daggers at them, but you're making them feel like assholes who are asking basic questions, which is part of their job. It's like, I used to teach comedy traffic school. I'd work Saturdays and I'd work Sundays. I'd be out in Kanejo on a Sunday at 8am and everyone who piled into that room was pissed at me. They're like, don't be pissed at me. I'm the guy who teaches traffic school. You're the guy who got a ticket. I'm here too. Have it with the highway patrol. Have it with the court system. Have it with yourself.

[Gina Grad]

Have it with the mirror.

[Adam Carolla]

Have it with the mirror. Have it with anybody. But why you can. It's like, well, I'm angry because I have to be here on a Sunday. But think about the maturity level of taking it out on me.

[Brian Bishop]

And you had to be there 20 minutes before them.

[Adam Carolla]

Yes, I was supposed to be.

[Gina Grad]

Well, so he's like Donald Trump saying, you're fake news. I'm not talking to you anymore. Let's find somebody else.

[Brian Bishop]

That should be Belichick's move.

[Adam Carolla]

He should do that news. Fake news. All right, so go ahead, rj. Let's get. So we're going. You like the Steelers?

[Caller/Guest]

Steelers. That's it. Let's keep it that simple. This is unusual for a team this good to be getting three. We're Taking the three.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. I'm looking for the Pats to bounce back and make a statement.

[Brian Bishop]

Could be a sneaky.

[Caller/Guest]

I'm feeling good then.

[Adam Carolla]

All right, he should be feeling good. What's next?

[Caller/Guest]

All right, number two. The Dallas Cowboys, favored by three at Oakland. Very rare for me to like a road favor. I think they're usually at a premium. But here's the thing about the Cowboys. There's only 16 games in a season, so typically you look at the stats and they're blended from the entire year. But Dallas has had really two different seasons, one in which they were very injured and one where they've been healthy. When they've been healthy, they played really well.

[Adam Carolla]

I. I agree. I like that. I like that game. I like that game as well. I like it a lot more than the Patriots game. Just because I've always been nervous because Brady started off like, oh, and four with an interception. I now prepared for him to go 13 completions to start the game because that's what the greats always do is they come right back and shut everybody up immediately. They can never slide. All right, you can enjoy for one week. All right, Bob. SAG's out there. We gotta bring him. Thanks, RJ.

[Bob Saget]

It's like a hard drive that I just have going all the time. If I ever need to go to it. When I'm feeling. Working on stuff and then I'm feeling like I'm a little lost, I go right back to that. And it's so comfortable. I mean, it's like that for you. When you go out and do your gigs, I know you're doing them with. When you're doing podcasts and you're. You're playing these places, I know you're. You're enjoying going to them, correct?

[Adam Carolla]

Well, I look at, I look at Stand up, this is gonna sound like a bad analogy, but, like, you're like Lindsay Lohan. You know what I mean? And you're a hot chick, and you're like Lindsay Lohan in your perpetually 26. Like, you never see your 35th birthday. It's like a perpetual 26.

[Bob Saget]

Well, first, I'm impressed that you know me that well, because that is exactly what I'm like.

[Adam Carolla]

You could hang around Hollywood and get a job, get a TV show, get a movie, whatever, but the worst that's ever gonna happen is you gotta jump a plane, go to Russia and blow a guy, and you'll be comfortable. You know what I mean? And Bob Saget's usually juggling two or three TV shows at once along with blowing a guy, but if he.

[Bob Saget]

No, I can. I can go do stand up and entertain people and have fun, and I don't have to blow a guy.

[Adam Carolla]

But it is your. It's your get out. It's like a starlet who never gets old, who can always just lay down with a producer. This is a horrible example, but what I'm saying is, because it's like, it's.

[Gina Grad]

There's always another option.

[Adam Carolla]

It's always there. Like, I, I think. I think Bob and I are sort of the same place. If you do a TV show or you're working on a movie or you gotta, you can always work and do.

[Bob Saget]

Something that fulfills you that you don't have to sell your soul for.

[Adam Carolla]

But you can always just stop and do standup if you needed to. And if you never did another TV show again and you never made another movie ever again and everything dried up completely, you can always just do stand up and make a guy.

[Bob Saget]

But I still would want to do all that stuff. Like I just directed a movie. You love doing your movie stuff. You did your thing about the road two years ago and I love doing that more than anything. I think directing. But stand up for me recently because of what happened in the past two years, the way the world's gone, I just needed. Something happened, it clicked to me. I just needed to make people laugh and I needed to be funny and I'm hopefully doing that. And people are responding really well to this special. And my standup is like that I've been doing, doing like two hour shows. I did one in Berkeley the other night, like a two hour and ten minute show. And I was like, why am I doing this? I used to do this when I didn't know any better. And I'm doing it because I just, I need it. I need it and they need it and they need to know everything's okay and I'm not out there butchering anybody on either side because people want to fight, you know, people want to go, you liberal asshole, you conservative asshole. And I'm. It's just weird.

[Adam Carolla]

I think it's. I was doing an interview with Mac and Gatos, a couple guys out of Arizona and they're like, what's up with Judge Roy Moore? And blah, blah, like, who would vote for this guy? Like how could you vote for this guy? And I said, we're about to find out. I know we're gonna find out. I said, cuz it's on, it's on now. Like when it's on then you just get to go, whatever this person did, it doesn't matter. He's on our side. And whatever that person did, it doesn't matter.

[Brian Bishop]

Once it's on, the ears get pinned back, the eyes roll back in the head and you just go forward.

[Bob Saget]

And we're talking about things years ago also. Like Al Franken is years ago.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, that's the next thing I mean. And I know you've been talking about.

[Bob Saget]

It and Al's an old friend of mine and Al, you know, it was an Animal House type of comedy time. I'm not defending it. I'M not defending hurting anybody or hurting a woman.

[Gina Grad]

But you're putting it in context.

[Adam Carolla]

No, but it's a context. It's like saying. We used to say Negro in a sense. And you go like, well, what were you thinking about? It's like, that's kind of what people did. Like, people screwed around back then. It wasn't a big deal. Anyone who's been in that environment, well, there was more.

[Bob Saget]

You would think there was more racism. Back in the day, when I was 4 years old and I was living in Norfolk, Virginia, I took a ferry boat because they didn't have the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel. And there were bathrooms for whites and coloreds.

[Adam Carolla]

Really?

[Bob Saget]

And it said it on the sign. And I went into the colored man's restroom, and my father said, you can't go in there. And I said, why? And he explained to me. And when he was telling me that it was for blacks and whites, he started crying because he was very sensitive and I was holding his testicles really hard. But that's.

[Adam Carolla]

I was going to say, like, to.

[Brian Bishop]

Me, tears are produced.

[Adam Carolla]

Going to reverse. Trying to lighten it up, where black guys just pull their junk out and then have a young, young Bob Saget going down. That would have been my reason.

[Bob Saget]

That's the first time I wanted to talk a no, Mike, you're going to.

[Adam Carolla]

Get cuckolded in at sea.

[Bob Saget]

But the truth of it all the time.

[Adam Carolla]

Cuckolding.

[Bob Saget]

Cuckolding is we miss it. It's back.

[Adam Carolla]

It's back.

[Bob Saget]

But it's interesting because I went on the View to promote my special about, I guess three weeks ago, four weeks ago, and the young lady that Al Franken took the picture of and felt abused was on the show, and she had like five segments. And then when she was done, all I'm telling you is this. This is a fact of what happened. Happened. Right off stage, she said, can we take a picture together?

[Adam Carolla]

And at that moment, you want to slide the hand.

[Bob Saget]

I just wanted to put the hands on her and have her be asleep. No, that's not the truth. I just felt like there should be no 15 minutes of fame here. This should be sad. And I felt sad that she had gone through this. And I felt sad for my friend Al, because Al's a good man who did something sophomoric and stupid and. And forceful. And I don't know what happened either.

[Adam Carolla]

Al got it. All right, two things. Al got it coming and going from the hatfields and the McCoys, which is. Al did something that was next to nothing. As far as I can tell, the pictures, the grope, it's a goof. It's outside of a flak jam.

[Bob Saget]

It's really Animal House.

[Adam Carolla]

It's how we were. It's that Doug sit up here and pretend like Eric. Everything is the same. What he did was a goof.

[Brian Bishop]

A 1.1 out of 10.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. And I don't even know if it's a 1:1, however. But whatever he did something, it hurt.

[Bob Saget]

Her tremendously, which I can also understand.

[Adam Carolla]

Unclear to me.

[Bob Saget]

It was up for me also when she wanted to take a picture with me as a celebrity sighting.

[Adam Carolla]

But that'll be up for her to decide years later. Fine. But Al did a bunch. Then there was a whole bunch of other people said we were at the county fair and his hand was on my butt cheek and stuff. Again, that's another part point one or point zero or zero point whatever in my book. Fine. Then the Democrats tossed him under the bus because they realized, just get rid of this guy and we'll just get another Democrat in there and it'll make us look good by getting rid of him. So he not only kind of got screwed on this side, he got screwed by his own camp because he could have easily stood by this one. I don't think this would have resulted in him being removed from office. There's just not enough meat on that.

[Bob Saget]

I don't understand why this doesn't just go to trial. All of these cases are being tried on talk shows and in the media. When did this. This is two years old. That it happens where you get accused of something and you might be incredibly guilty. And some of these people that we know are. I mean, you've been doing this every day, talking about this ad nauseam. They are guilty of horrible things, some of these gentlemen. But it's not being tried in a court. It isn't.

[Gina Grad]

Yes, well, and not only that, but, you know, whether. Whether it's right or wrong, not whether it's right or wrong, whether it's true or false. Once you're accused, it seems that you are. Your livelihood is over.

[Bob Saget]

Yeah, you are.

[Gina Grad]

The way you have made money your entire life is no longer an.

[Adam Carolla]

The biggest. I always come back to. We have zero tolerance for. You should never have zero tolerance. You'd have shades of gray. That's how life works. These zero tolerance means, hey, whatever Harvey Weinstein did and whatever Al Franken did, it's all the same because we have zero. We have zero tolerance. So they both need to go into the pit.

[Bob Saget]

And that political correctness. Speaking of zero, because my special is zero to 60 and you've got the best quality T shirt on the market right now.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah.

[Bob Saget]

Best Christmas gift. I'm buying it for all my people. But this special that you complimented, which means a lot to me because I've been bashed over the years for a lot of reasons. Oh, he's dirty. He's only dirty to get back with shock value because he was the dad on that show. Well, that show still on. That show's not going away.

[Gina Grad]

He's too clean, he's too dirty.

[Adam Carolla]

My daughter and son are 11 year old twins. They love that show. Right.

[Bob Saget]

And by the way, tell them to return my calls. But see, you can't do that humor anymore. That's like, and you know, I'm innocent. You know, I wouldn't be like after a kid. But yet politically correct audiences boo that sometimes. And it's like, well, guys, I'm the guy that gets it out on stage. I don't do it in life. I am not a person that you can really, really find. Although if I say that on the radio, if I say that right here on your podcast, you know, someone will come out and say I did something.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, I do often think about those, including myself, who have to go like, oh, what did, what did I do?

[Bob Saget]

What happened in Cleveland?

[Adam Carolla]

What could we, you know, I did a little show called the Man Show. We had Juggie dance squad gals run around.

[Bob Saget]

You did?

[Brian Bishop]

There was one cruise three days ago.

[Adam Carolla]

There were so much the cruise. All right, well, we're gonna do a little blah, blah, blah. Cause it's themed around Al Franken and it's in the setup. You listen Bob Saget and you'll tell how to play the game in the setup on the intro. First, I'll tell you about Nightfall, history's new scripted drama. It's a series nightfall, Wednesday nights, 10pm Set in medieval France, tangled in politics and conflict. One courageous Templar knight will lead his order of warrior monks on a large life and death mission to find the lost Holy Grail. Everybody. Tom Cullen from the hit series Downton Abbey is the lead in this and he leads a cast. And he's Tom's the main man, taking viewers deep inside the most powerful and mysterious military order of the Middle Ages. And he who controls the grail holds the power. So let's review Nightfall on History. I love the fact that everyone's putting out great content. History is just the tip of the spear. It's putting out tons of great content. Scripted drama series nightfall Wednesday nights, 10pm and it's only on history. All right, the intro. It's time for Blah blah blah. The game where we match the celebrity with their online rant. Let's play Franken. 1,000,053. 205 Minnesotans picked him for Senate in 2014. 30 self appointed pure senators want him out. What happened to the popular vote? Is it Newt Gingrich, John Boehner or Paul River? Brian.

[Gina Grad]

Interesting. Went the other way.

[Adam Carolla]

Interesting. Newt.

[Brian Bishop]

I know who this is.

[Adam Carolla]

You do? Something happened to you.

[Gina Grad]

Don't get to speak anymore.

[Adam Carolla]

We'll figure it out, Brian. You filibust, Tell us why. You know. There we go.

[Bob Saget]

Try it again, Bob, My mic's on.

[Adam Carolla]

There you go.

[Brian Bishop]

I'm saying Newt Gingrich because the other two guys are in office. They can't say this about a Democrat. He's a pundit. He's on Fox News or wherever he is, he can go. And he's gone against Trump in the past on his free things, especially in the campaign. I'm saying Newt Gingrich.

[Gina Grad]

Yeah, I couldn't agree more. Also going Newt.

[Bob Saget]

I was going Newt just because I love his name.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, it's a great name.

[Bob Saget]

It's a small bug, isn't it?

[Adam Carolla]

It's a lot of toad and newt.

[Bob Saget]

Is it a toad?

[Brian Bishop]

A little lizard, salamander type thing.

[Bob Saget]

There you go. So that would be me. Newt.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. Baner is not. It's baner, isn't it? They pronounce it that way. That's how you spell it. Yep.

[Brian Bishop]

That's not like boner.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. Boehner's not an office. This is Garrett and then Newt.

[Brian Bishop]

Here's my answer.

[Adam Carolla]

Newt. Newt's the little girl from Alien, right?

[Gina Grad]

Yes.

[Adam Carolla]

Aliens.

[Brian Bishop]

No, no, for aliens.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, Aliens and Newt gear a lot of range and that name. Newt. A lot of people have fallen between those two. All right, well, for that reason we got Newt and Newt and Newt. Yeah, I'll go Baner. Just because. What? Why not? The blog belongs to Newt Gingrich.

[Gina Grad]

All right.

[Bob Saget]

Yeah. Just felt it.

[Gina Grad]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

After Brian's soliloquy on it. Yeah.

[Bob Saget]

He looks like my mom a little bit.

[Brian Bishop]

He looks like a lot of people's.

[Gina Grad]

Moms who said he looked like a Keebler elf.

[Adam Carolla]

He's got a little about like certain guys turn into lesbians as they get older and he's got a little bit of that dick Vermeil.

[Bob Saget]

I think it's a bloated thing that happens.

[Adam Carolla]

It's that it's just kind of a haircut. A little bit, yeah.

[Brian Bishop]

Propped and swept.

[Adam Carolla]

All right, here we go. Everyone's up at me. I hope Al Franken resigns today. I don't want people like that leading us. We should all set a strong boundary on these issues together. Yuck. Is it Don Cheadle, Mark Ruffalo or Chris Evans?

[Gina Grad]

Oh, Don Cheadle, Mark Ruffalo or Chris Evans.

[Adam Carolla]

Again, in a world where we have. We have pedophile priests, how can we get. Get that worked up about Al? That's my point.

[Brian Bishop]

This is gonna be disappointing anyway.

[Adam Carolla]

Gonna be disappointing. So the one guy's Captain America, right?

[Brian Bishop]

Chris Evans. Yep.

[Adam Carolla]

Ruffalo is a huge blowhard. So it could be.

[Bob Saget]

Ruffalo speaks his mind quite a bit on.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, there's something wrong with him. The question is a hero.

[Gina Grad]

Which one would shout yuck?

[Adam Carolla]

Which one would shout yuck?

[Gina Grad]

Because that was in the tweet.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, yuck was in the tweet, wasn't it? No.

[Gina Grad]

Oh, what am I thinking?

[Adam Carolla]

I don't know. Franken resigns today. I don't want people like that leading us. We should all set a strong boundary on these issues together.

[Gina Grad]

Oh, maybe I was just thinking.

[Adam Carolla]

But.

[Bob Saget]

Still, I think I've made, I've made my choice. I think.

[Adam Carolla]

All right, Cheadle should be. See, here's what I don't like about these statements. It's. You're clearly just grandstanding. So people think you're a hero because you want to be. So even though Ruffalo's a blowhard, he's not stupid and Cheadle's not stupid. Except this is a stupid statement you're making.

[Bob Saget]

And I don't think Chris Evans is in a place where he wants to hurt his Captain of America status.

[Gina Grad]

Right. Why would he get in the ring?

[Adam Carolla]

I'm going, Chris Evans, that's me. Oh, it could be ruffling.

[Bob Saget]

I think it's. Am I allowed to say go ahead, please. Yeah, I think it's Gore Vidal. No, I, I, I'd say Mark Ruffalo is who I think made a statement like that.

[Brian Bishop]

Maybe I have no insight else I cheatle.

[Gina Grad]

I'm gonna go Ruffalo.

[Adam Carolla]

The blog belongs to Mark Ruffalo.

[Gina Grad]

Yuck.

[Adam Carolla]

What a sad.

[Bob Saget]

You get a free T shirt out of this.

[Adam Carolla]

I heard him say yuck. Yuck.

[Bob Saget]

Well, I do love that we all have freedom of speech. What I don't love is we're all divided and we're all arguing over this and people are unhappy and scared and driven by fear, and therefore they get rid of a Person who is not anywhere near as guilty as many people that are getting elected into office as we speak.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, yeah.

[Bob Saget]

I mean, it's kind of insane.

[Adam Carolla]

Any guy who's been in a position of power for any length of time is going to have a few of these incidents in their background.

[Brian Bishop]

You said it, boss.

[Bob Saget]

Well, we're cave people. Guys were in caves. And then they started to do home repair. And Adam learned how to build.

[Adam Carolla]

I did.

[Bob Saget]

You coughed. And you know how to make a window like nobody.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, I ordered this, but go ahead. Stunning speech by Franken. Yeah, sorry. Stunning speech by Franklin Franken. Not because he resigned, but lack of contrition or apology was startling. He should have just said, I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, but doggone it, people just don't like me anymore.

[Gina Grad]

Oh, comedy.

[Adam Carolla]

Is it Donald Trump, Jr. Oh, Jesus. Laura Ingram or Governor Mike Huckabee.

[Gina Grad]

Huckabee does like to try out his A material.

[Brian Bishop]

I was gonna say either way, I'd be delighted because it was a horrible joke.

[Bob Saget]

But I don't think think they're aware of the SNL humor.

[Gina Grad]

Oh, yeah, Yeah. I think you're right. I think age coincidence, age wise, I'm going junior, younger dude, thinking he's.

[Bob Saget]

Oh, I don't think he even understood that bit on there.

[Adam Carolla]

I'm going Huckabee feels.

[Bob Saget]

I'm thinking, Laura, it's tough.

[Adam Carolla]

This really could be anybody. I wish a couple. I kind of hope Laura, she calls in a shit. I'm saying, Laura, I'm going Huckabee.

[Bob Saget]

I don't think these. Either of these guys know who Stuart Smalley was. I don't think they follow the character. Even though Michael Jordan did a really funny bit on there with him. And it was a famous SNL character. It was a very psychologically smart character.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah.

[Bob Saget]

So I don't think either of these guys are aware of it.

[Adam Carolla]

I don't think anyone is aware of anything. I think somebody in their office flips their computer open and goes, check it out, boss. Here's what you should.

[Brian Bishop]

Absolutely.

[Bob Saget]

I think Laura's aware of the bit, so I would say she said it.

[Adam Carolla]

All right, you got Laura.

[Gina Grad]

I'll go junior, Junior Huckabee.

[Adam Carolla]

Huckabee. The blog belongs to Governor Mike Huckabee.

[Bob Saget]

Wow.

[Brian Bishop]

You're right. If he likes to try out the A material.

[Adam Carolla]

I was on his show one time. It worked.

[Bob Saget]

I was on his show, and it was at a time where we weren't where we're at right now. And I'm Like, I don't really care about the party. I care about the person. And, you know, damn it, I like this guy. Well, I just like human beings. And at that time, I don't know, he seemed like a really good guy. He was a fan of mine.

[Adam Carolla]

He played guitar with me on his show. Oh, yeah, Just like the jam.

[Bob Saget]

I promoted, I think, my two specials ago. And he liked my irreverent sense of humor, which I found interesting. You're a conservative man. You're a Republican. You love your guitar.

[Adam Carolla]

I was.

[Bob Saget]

Things are so different now. Everything is so, so fucking different.

[Adam Carolla]

I don't think I ever told you about this, but I was looking down at Funny's home videos. What was the one that Dom DeLuise hosted right about the same time?

[Bob Saget]

I think it was called those Amazing Cakes. No, I can't.

[Adam Carolla]

You just ate funnel cake.

[Bob Saget]

Yeah, there's tons of cake. You had to guess which cake he stole quickly. A very funny man, Dom Delu. He's really funny. He hosted for Vin Dabona, another show.

[Adam Carolla]

Vin Dabona quietly produced every show that came out in the late mid-80s to the end of the 90s and always saw his name on the credits. It was the first.

[Bob Saget]

I mean, it was the first one. If you wanted to see someone get hit in the nuts, you didn't go to YouTube. You had to go through me.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, you were the gatekeeper.

[Bob Saget]

I was the gatekeeper of nut hits.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. Dom did America's. I don't know.

[Bob Saget]

Well, he wasn't America's something. It was another kind of show. Cause America's funny is people.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, it's like blooper. Oh, it was bloopers. It was trollops, bloopers and bleeps or something like that. Tactical trip.

[Brian Bishop]

Yeah.

[Bob Saget]

He brought back one of the blooper shows. Vin brought it back.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. My greatest break in show business was doing audience warm up for one episode of that. That was my greatest dream.

[Bob Saget]

The Dom DeLuise one.

[Adam Carolla]

Yes. My greatest. My goal as a young comedian was audience warmup. That was the greatest job I'd ever heard of. You did it.

[Bob Saget]

I did it for bosom buddies, really. And they put me on the show once because my friend Chris Thompson, who we lost last year.

[Adam Carolla]

Year.

[Bob Saget]

He must be somewhere. But we did lose him, and he was a friend. And I was on the show as Bob the comic, and I had no title. I sang New York, New York, and Tom Hanks gave me a name because he felt bad for me so I could make more money. And he went, bob the comic. Ladies and gentlemen, Bob the comic.

[Adam Carolla]

The warm up gig. I don't know when you were doing it, but back when I was hearing about it, these guys would get several hundred dollars for. And now they get thousands, thousands of dollars. This guy guy, Jim Dougherty I was working with, he was getting like 1200 bucks or something for doing Married With Children. And I was like, oh, my God.

[Bob Saget]

He'S a funny guy.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, he was a good. He was like the guy who specialized in doing audience warmup, which is impossible.

[Bob Saget]

It's four hours most of the time. It's interminable.

[Adam Carolla]

But if you get on a show that's in its ninth season, like Married With Children, you're in and out in under two hours because it has its rhythm and you can get in and out of there. You got your rhythm. You hand out candy, you make some, you know, PG jokes and you hit, you hammer your check. And I was like, this is the greatest thing ever.

[Bob Saget]

I used to go to the Mary Tyler Moore Show. I used to sneak in to see that done. And Lorenzo Music was the man who did the warm up. And he was a writer and he was also the voice of Garbage, Garfield and.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, and, and car. Carmine the doorman. Yeah, car. Oh, not Carmine.

[Bob Saget]

Carlton the door.

[Adam Carolla]

Carlton the Doorman.

[Bob Saget]

Yeah. And. And he. And I thought he was so funny. So I. I also had like 16, 17 years old. I was sneaking in, looked up to the warm up because he was my gatekeeper to the. To the talent. He would be able to speak to, you know, Ed Ash and then talk to the person in the audience.

[Adam Carolla]

Do you guys, you know who Carlton the Doorman is from Mary Tyler Moore?

[Brian Bishop]

No, I don't know who that is. I know the horse, Carl.

[Adam Carolla]

You can find it. Gary, he was from Rhoda. I think it was Rhoda, wasn't it?

[Bob Saget]

I think you're right.

[Adam Carolla]

Rhoda was the spin off on. And when she would go to like her intercom, it was just back when they just have these running jokes. They go, Carlton. And he'd go, this is Carlton the doorman. I know. I just said, you're Carlton? Yes. Is somebody there? This is Carlton. It was weird. It rhythmically was funny. It kind of worked.

[Bob Saget]

It was like pre Simpson type of non emotional voice back right smart.

[Adam Carolla]

I don't know if this was established, but they did a one episode animated.

[Brian Bishop]

Pilot spinoff called Carlton youn Doorman which.

[Adam Carolla]

It appears only aired once. Wow. They just would spin everything off. But you'll find a little clip at some point of her talking into her squawk box. All right, let's do one more. Whoever wins this, wins. I'll pick something different. Everyone, don't argue with folks who maintain the veracity of claims against Franken, but dismiss those against Trump and more as a setup. Those who say that are either purposefully lying or so far outside the reality bubble, logic is useless against them. Is it James Gunn, Adam McKay, or Judd Apatow?

[Gina Grad]

Oh, okay, I have a vote.

[Adam Carolla]

Seems smart. Seems like someone who writes.

[Gina Grad]

Yep.

[Adam Carolla]

Wrote this. Although I wouldn't. I would argue you don't need to have, say, purposefully lying. You can just say lying because you're lying by mistake. Then you're just ill informed you made a mistake.

[Bob Saget]

I think Judd gets more to the point when he. When he goes off on this stuff.

[Adam Carolla]

We got a clip of Carlton the Doorman from Rhoda. All right, so it's Garfield. We'll let you hear it.

[Gina Grad]

Hello, Carlton.

[Adam Carolla]

Goodbye. This is Carlton, your person person. Carlton, please, I have police officers here.

[Gina Grad]

I have no time for games.

[Katie Couric]

What do you want?

[Adam Carolla]

Well, I just wanted to let you know that I'm no longer your doorman.

[Caller/Guest]

I have been terminated. What?

[Adam Carolla]

Don't apologize. I don't hold anything against you. I'm too big a person to bear petty grudges. So I'd just like to leave you with one final thought. It's Carlton the Doorman.

[Gina Grad]

That's good stuff.

[Adam Carolla]

It's gotta be a dream though, right, Bob? You get to hold the script and do your lines.

[Bob Saget]

Yes, I did that. On How I Met yout Mother. Nine years of telling the kids, you know How I Met their Mother.

[Brian Bishop]

That's right.

[Gina Grad]

That was story.

[Bob Saget]

It's a very long story. All right, I know. I. I think I know who said that.

[Adam Carolla]

All right, I'll pick. All right, let's see. We'll have to do it this way, Bob. Who do you want?

[Bob Saget]

I'm saying Adam McKay.

[Gina Grad]

I also would like to say that.

[Brian Bishop]

I'll say James Gunn.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, then I will say Apatow. And we do have a clear winner. Oh, good. The blog belongs to James Gunn. Paul Bryan, look. Cute.

[Bob Saget]

I just hope I have. Hope I haven't pissed off Adam McKay. I would never say that.

[Tony Danza]

Smart.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, he's very smart. Until next time, keep your fingers on your keyboards and your heads up your asses so we can play another round of blah, blah, blah. All right, quickie break and back with the news right after this. Give me the news with Grad News with Gino Grad.

[Tony Danza]

Breaking viral. All those crazy Crazy Trump tweets.

[Adam Carolla]

Give me news with Gina Grad. Trouble in the Middle East. Celebrity Trump meltdowns. Big news with Gina Gina. The news with Gina Grad.

[Gina Grad]

Well, there are more scandals in the news today. The sexual misconduct scandal has found its way to the studios of NFL Network. According to ESPN analysts Marshall Fall, Keith Evans and Ike Taylor have been suspended for alleged harassment and assault.

[Adam Carolla]

Ex jocks. What? No way.

[Gina Grad]

The three, along with former analyst Donovan McNabb and former exec Eric Weinberger, have been named in a lawsuit filed by former on set stylist Jamie Kanter. She claims that analysts sent her inappropriate text messages and that Falk groped her and asked invasive questions about her sex life over the decade. She worked there up until her termination a year ago.

[Adam Carolla]

Now, my favorite part of these stars are like, let's see a picture of her and see if they really get it or not.

[Brian Bishop]

No way that's possible.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, yeah.

[Bob Saget]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

I could see where she would have been hot in the past. I could see that. I love a guy's name.

[Gina Grad]

They would have got hired a decade ago.

[Adam Carolla]

I don't know why it reminded me, but once there used to be these guys. I don't know if they were like, John and Jeff or whoever. They were on the radio, and they'd be on at night, the third shift, everybody. And they were the worst radio team ever on the radio.

[Brian Bishop]

It was baffling.

[Adam Carolla]

And I remember one time me and Jimmy were, like, going somewhere on a Friday night or something, and I was in one car and he was in the other car, but he said, put it on the radio. I'm going to call in. And he called in as a black man, and he's like, hello there. You know? And they were like, going. And they kept going. They kept going. Like, they kept saying to him, like, come on, you're not a black guy. This is a. And the other one's like, nah, he is. And he's like, I am black. How dare you say that to me? And they kept going. And then one of them went, hold on, hold on, hold on, I got it. If you're black, black, let's hear your rap. Like, high fiving each other. Like, okay, we got him now, John. We got him now.

[Bob Saget]

Why aren't these guys being held under scrutiny?

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, let's hear your rap. All right. She's tracking cancer.

[Brian Bishop]

Also guilty.

[Gina Grad]

She says that management was aware of the issue, did nothing about it. She filed a wrongful termination suit in October. Meanwhile, TMZ has gotten a hold of the legal documents other Former analysts, including Warren Sapp have been named and some of the details in the accusations are graphic and lurid.

[Adam Carolla]

Here's the dealio though. Like I've always said, there's never been a better time to be an actual racist. With these stories just flying around. You can take the thing down, Gary, with these things flying around. If something came out about you of this Friday, it'd just be gone by Monday. It just. There's no. You just throw this lump. Is this ever huge or.

[Bob Saget]

I mean you're tarnished. I mean the guy's first. His name is McNabb.

[Adam Carolla]

Right.

[Bob Saget]

I mean it sound.

[Gina Grad]

He's been McNabb and SAP.

[Bob Saget]

SAP means you're. You're. You're asking for it.

[Adam Carolla]

You're. That's right.

[Bob Saget]

And I'm saggot. So you know I'm in trouble.

[Gina Grad]

Well and here locally, big deal. He's been on for three decades. Steve Edwards overnight gone.

[Bob Saget]

I don't know. That's the whole thing.

[Adam Carolla]

There's so.

[Gina Grad]

Many TV Steve Edwards in the morning now something.

[Bob Saget]

Who did he nab? Well, they disappear.

[Gina Grad]

SAP or Sagat. They haven't said exactly what happened. The word sexual. Allegations have been thrown around and that his contract was going to be up anyway.

[Brian Bishop]

A lot of this is salary slashing. I mean taking the opportunity.

[Gina Grad]

But you could totally sue for wrongful termination if that was the case. Looking for a reason.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, with Steve. Okay, so Steve Edwards is a beloved or beloved I never figured out. I still can't figure that one out.

[Bob Saget]

It's good to be be loved.

[Adam Carolla]

But he, he was the guy did the morning out here. I've done the show. I'm sure Bob's done the show a million times.

[Bob Saget]

And he hit on me and I did not file charges.

[Adam Carolla]

He's one of these guys that just every eight years they'd swap out the chick got too old next to him for somebody else.

[Gina Grad]

Gillian Barbary was one.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, but he was a gracious congenial guy and he's a little bit of a sense of humor.

[Bob Saget]

Bob Einstein. A little bit, yeah. So today we have a really good guest on the show.

[Adam Carolla]

Right? Curb your enthusiasm.

[Bob Saget]

And here she is. Don't mind my hand on this chair.

[Adam Carolla]

But pardon the SAP analogy or pun, but did he got sacked because of sexual harassment.

[Gina Grad]

That's what's not clear the articles I've read. Cuz they've given no details that the words sexual harassment are somewhere in a filing and also contract negotiations.

[Adam Carolla]

This guy's been on the air for 30 years in Los Angeles. I didn't even hear this story. That's, that's how far on the radar.

[Bob Saget]

It'S a red scare. I mean, it's gotten to the point where it's justifiable if it's happened, but it's a nightmare if it has not.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, I'll tell you the danger. Here's the danger. I'll put everything into perspective for everyone, as I always do. If you are up to Weinstein's whatever he's up to, Kevin Spacey or whatever, then by all means, let's go press criminal charges. Let's get to the bottom of this. You're pulled off the board, you're fired from your job and everything else. Where it gets really scary and slippery slopey is when Steve Edwards, I don't know what he did, or Al Franken, not unclear. The stuff he's done when people just go, look, we're gonna fire you anyway, cuz we don't even want the attention. And you're like, but I didn't do anything. I get it. You're gone. So when we're just canning people because look, we're gonna get some bonus points here and we'll replace you with another Democrat who's a little bit younger than you are. So we gonna do that. And you're like, but I didn't do anything. You're gone. And the thing is, I don't even want the words to hurt the stock of this company. So I don't know if you did it. I don't know if you didn't do it. I don't know who the people are. I've just heard enough. You're gone. So when you start clipping people, just because we're in this crazy climate where these are big publicly traded companies and we need to make a decision and we need to move, or you're the Democratic Party or whoever you are, we can't take the bad press. And you go, yeah, but none of it's true. Doesn't matter. We're clipping you, we're moving on. That's the super scary part. The part where the guys did what they did. That's just guys being criminals. It's the part where the guys didn't do or barely did and them just getting clipped too. That's the scary part of this.

[Bob Saget]

Well, the other thing is it's such a distraction from what's really going on in the world, which is we could be in like three different world wars if we choose to stomp last loud enough and cause enough trouble. But not if you find out that someone felt Someone up in 1962.

[Adam Carolla]

How hard's Putin laughing at this cleansing, by the way? Explaining to him. Well, he took a picture. Yeah. What'd he do? He pretended to touch your boobs.

[Gina Grad]

I'm listening. Go on.

[Bob Saget]

Hold on.

[Adam Carolla]

Let me get on my horse, take my shirt off, keep going.

[Bob Saget]

I mean, if he had footage, it wouldn't matter to him.

[Adam Carolla]

No matter.

[Gina Grad]

By the way, I had never heard this phrase before, and it's never come up. And since we just played blah, blah, blah, I forgot to mention it. This is the new sort of phrase going around in the zeitgeist with people who do do the blowhardy blog. Virtue signaling. Have you heard that before? I've never heard of it before. Yeah, a couple days ago.

[Bob Saget]

What is that?

[Gina Grad]

You know, you're. You're signaling to everyone that you're more virtuous, you're more pious. You would never do anything like that.

[Bob Saget]

And that's the danger right there. Like, as soon as what Adam was saying earlier was accurate, it's like, what, did I do something in 1982? You know, I just got engaged. So I'm thinking, is anybody out there gonna think something? I've always had an irreverent sense of humor. I've always said whatever I wanted to say on stage. People could say that that has damaged them. You know, I was the father on the show that I'm still the father on, and they brought their. But no kids are allowed at my shows. But what if they snuck in and I've ruined their mind because. Because the father on Full House isn't dust busting, but he's talking about, you know, fingering a monkey. You know?

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, that could happen.

[Bob Saget]

I've never fingered a monkey. I wouldn't.

[Adam Carolla]

No.

[Bob Saget]

I don't like the animal kingdom.

[Adam Carolla]

No.

[Bob Saget]

I mean, I like them. I want to protect them.

[Adam Carolla]

And my whole thing is, ever since that lady showed up on Oprah, got her face taken off by the monkey.

[Gina Grad]

Oh, yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

That's all I need to know about monkeys.

[Bob Saget]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. The jury was out on monkeys. I decided what to do with Kodiak bears and lions and things like that. But monkeys I still had a kind of coffee, casual relationship with. And after it took that lady's face off, we're done. And then when they start explaining, well, here's what they do. They go for your genitalia, and the reason they want to rip off your genitalia first is to emasculate you, and then they go for the face can't recognize you. And then they. And I'm like, okay, well, that's enough monkey for me.

[Gina Grad]

We're good.

[Bob Saget]

Well, I just want to know if, like, beekeepers, Bonnets made any more money than that year.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, it had to.

[Bob Saget]

I would think it'd be a good merch item for you, you know, with.

[Adam Carolla]

The T shirt, signature, bonnet. Get August on that.

[Bob Saget]

It's so much tragedy. And that's what I mean. What you provide here is an outlet for people. Your listeners get to hear you. They love you. You speak your mind like nobody. You're the number one thing that exists. I know you know that. Pride of Los Angeles and the whole Earth. You're the number one. You're the resin of everything.

[Adam Carolla]

Here's the way I feel. I honestly, honestly, I've always felt this way, which is if you are pure of heart, like, if there's somebody you work with or somebody you live with or somebody in your circle and you really don't like them, like, you just hate them as a person. And we've all had that. We've all had that. When you then have to. Brian Bishop, when you don't like somebody and you have to sort of critique them or coach them up or whatever it is, is. You choose your words very carefully because you feel really guilty, because you think this person already thinks they must know I don't like them on some level. And now here comes the criticism.

[Bob Saget]

Or you speak to them less.

[Adam Carolla]

If you think about the people who you do really like, you have an affection for, but you'd like them to modify this behavior, change that, you just go up to them and go, hey, buddy, you need to do more of this and less of that. And you don't think much about it. When it comes time for me to talk about. About race or culture or women or gay or straight or lesbian or anything, I don't have any hatred in my heart at all.

[Bob Saget]

Right.

[Adam Carolla]

That's why I feel free to say whatever I want all the time.

[Bob Saget]

Same here. That's why I think I can do a pedophile joke if it's not harmful. But there's no such thing as that statement I just made. I mean, I had a joke. I did it the other night in Berkeley, and it got an odd response because life has changed. And the joke is.

[Adam Carolla]

Is.

[Bob Saget]

And people will be listening. Because when you say, here's a pedophile joke, sure.

[Adam Carolla]

I mean, I was.

[Bob Saget]

You know, I was doing jokes like this when I was 23 years old because it's what my dad Had a demented sense of humor. And the joke was, I've been in love with this girl for 30 years. She's 25 now, you know, and all it say, correct. Correct. So the animals in the barn should be revolted. And it. But you can't. It doesn't fly. But I still.

[Gina Grad]

And you chose Berkeley to do this.

[Adam Carolla]

Right.

[Bob Saget]

But they were stoned. They were happy. But I'm pure of heart. I mean, I legitimately love people. I'm hurt by people. I'm very sensitive. So if somebody does something back to me, but if anybody has been violated in that way, then I go like, oh, man, I gotta remove that completely from my zeitgeist. And it's hard to do when that. That's your inbred sense of humor. When I say inbred, it means my father cuckold me and then put a. Put a bonnet on me, you know, A bee bonnet.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, because what had happened.

[Bob Saget]

One of my T shirts, he pulled my junk off. He used your rolled up T shirt to pull my junk off?

[Gina Grad]

Like a capuchin monkey.

[Adam Carolla]

He's a monkey. All right, let's do one more.

[Gina Grad]

Well, Liangelo and Lamelo Ball have signed with Lithuanian pro basketball team.

[Adam Carolla]

Pretty.

[Gina Grad]

They announced that on the big Baller brand Instagram account. LiAngelo, he's 19, is the former UCLA player who was busted for shoplifting in China and suspended by UCLA. LaMelo, 16, was pulled out of Chino Hills High School by his father, Lavar. Lamelo was originally committed to UCLA like his brother and older brother Lonzo, who was number two pick in the 2017 NBA Draft by the Lakers. But those plans changed when they signed with an agent, making them eligible in. Eligible for college ball. No more college ball for them. Prior to that, UCLA had suspended LiAngelo for the China episode. Lavar told Bleach A report, quote, our goal is to get both of these boys, have all three of them on the Lakers. And sometimes it's just different roads to get there. But we're going to get there. We're just on a different road right now.

[Brian Bishop]

I think the Lakers are like one less ball on their team.

[Gina Grad]

And isn't this team. I was listening to this on the radio over. It's not like their version of the NBA. I mean, these teams, dude, it's not like.

[Brian Bishop]

What do you mean?

[Gina Grad]

What were they talking about? Like, it's.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, they went for it just because it started with an L. There you go.

[Gina Grad]

They're like, it's not as high end.

[Adam Carolla]

Latvia, Lithuania. Like, it's gotta Start with an L because that's the way we roll. Everything's gotta start with an L. Like a Kardashian. You know what someone's gotta do? Someone's gotta blow up the Internet. Some like middle aged. Remember when you'd watch all those John Hughes movies in the 80s and he always used that same red haired actress who. Who always played the school secretary.

[Gina Grad]

She's a groundling.

[Brian Bishop]

Yeah, she the car rental agent replaced Rareson.

[Adam Carolla]

Yes, yes. She was Ed Ny.

[Gina Grad]

Ferris Bueller.

[Brian Bishop]

Right.

[Bob Saget]

I've worked with her. She's Ellie.

[Adam Carolla]

I know. We all know kind of who the red she was in all movies. We'll find. Right.

[Bob Saget]

She's a sweetheart.

[Adam Carolla]

She's got to blow up the Internet by someone going I'm Eunice Ball om Lavar's wife of 23 years. Dede Leangela.

[Gina Grad]

Dee McLurg.

[Adam Carolla]

De McClurg. All right. Some 47 year old version of her that just goes on the Internet says now my husband sometimes he says things he wishes he could walk back. I guarantee he's different when he comes home. He's a different levar when he comes home. And as far as the whole Lithuania thing with what are the names? You'd have to obviously memorize the names of the show. LiAngelo. They're very good boys. We're focused mostly on academics here. Though you wouldn't know it if you turn on TMZ.

[Bob Saget]

We need Edie McClure.

[Adam Carolla]

Edie McClurg. Just get up there and just play his wife you've never heard from or seen from and we'd all buy into it. It'd be awesome.

[Gina Grad]

Is he the new Joe Jackson?

[Adam Carolla]

Oh yeah. Not Joe Jackson.

[Bob Saget]

Woods.

[Brian Bishop]

Who's the new.

[Adam Carolla]

Who's.

[Brian Bishop]

Oh Christ. Who's the Williams? Gary Williams.

[Katie Couric]

Oh yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

Telling the dad Serena Williams. Serena Williams. Yeah.

[Gina Grad]

But like wants to be as if not more famous than the kids and pushing them hard and making bad decisions.

[Adam Carolla]

It seems like the thing that's always.

[Bob Saget]

Upset me my whole life and I'm fortunate in that I think the reason that Full house. It's weird. It feels like I'm cursing when I say full house. But that and Fuller House. The parents of all the kids is the reason why everybody turns turned out okay for this thing to happen for 30 years later this thing to come back in such a positive way.

[Gina Grad]

No bad at all because these are.

[Bob Saget]

40 year old girls. Candace and Jody and Andrea are just lovely and it's cause their parents worked really hard at it and they wanted to be in show business. They Wanted to act. They chose it at a young, young age. It was like five years old. Gotta dance. I'm not like that. I didn't think I was gonna do this at all. And a lot of people still think I should not.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, that'll be a good segue to TrueCar, man. TrueCar. You want to buy new, you want to buy used, you got to go with TrueCar. Over 700,000 pre owned vehicles from over 13,000 TrueCar certified dealers nationwide. So if you're looking to buy new, you're looking to buy used. You get upfront pricing, you get discounts off of list price, you get a better buying experience, you see what others paid for the car. You want apples to apples, you get the fair price. You connect with your local certified dealer, and he enjoy a quick, easy buying experience. So you go online, you go to TrueCar, you pick out your car, you find it, you lock it in, you get your certificate, you go to the certified dealer, and you pick up your car. It's just that easy. Our own Chris Maxpad did it over here with his barely used Prius. Only 200 miles on that bad boy. So if you're going used or you're going new, you go with TrueCar. Some features not available. Available in all states. All right, Gina Grad. Did we bring it home?

[Gina Grad]

We can. I'm Gina Grad, and that's the news.

[Caller/Guest]

Gina, Gina.

[Adam Carolla]

That was the news with Gina Grad. I.

[Bob Saget]

You nailed that news, by the way.

[Gina Grad]

Oh, thank you.

[Adam Carolla]

She's a pro, isn't she? Park out of the park.

[Gina Grad]

Thank you, everybody.

[Adam Carolla]

The. I'm trying to think of Entourage. We didn't talk about that. I love Entourage. I always have. It's one of those shows I miss.

[Bob Saget]

And now it's a misogynistic world that. Where you cannot show, I don't think. And yet that would be even more representative of what's going on right now. Because a lot of the people that have been accused of heinous acts were guest stars on it.

[Adam Carolla]

That's true. And Piven got into some trouble, though. Whatever it was seemed to have blown over.

[Brian Bishop]

That's just Piven being Piven.

[Adam Carolla]

We cannot keep track of everybody. How shocking is that?

[Bob Saget]

That's the thing. And if anybody can get out of. But Ari could.

[Adam Carolla]

I don't know what the update of that was. It's like one more allegation, one more. Oh, my God. And then moving on to the next show.

[Bob Saget]

It's interesting to bring it up. I'd been on the show several times. I Was like the family dog. I would show up and be the bad boy version of myself. And I was just emailing this morning with Doug, Ellen, the writer, and Kevin Connolly, because they had bid some money for my scleroderma research foundation, which you were kind enough, Adam, to do the auction with one night.

[Adam Carolla]

I was thrilled to do the auction.

[Bob Saget]

And you were wonderful. And we raised a lot of money. And their gift was to be able to go to the Victoria's Secrets fashion show. And the gift, for some reason, was mischeduled. But now Doug is married, and it's not like, exactly the thing you want to take your wife to the front row of necessarily. So we're making it good. Because we are. We're actually. Since you did it, we've raised an extra $30 million for racing.

[Adam Carolla]

That's incredible.

[Bob Saget]

We raised $46 million. We just raised a million two in New York a week ago.

[Adam Carolla]

Bob's sister has scleroderma.

[Bob Saget]

She had it.

[Adam Carolla]

Had scleroderma passed away. And I was thrilled to do it, mainly because he did it at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel at the Grand Trianon ballroom. And I used to clean the carpet there.

[Bob Saget]

No, you didn't.

[Adam Carolla]

I did not. I did.

[Bob Saget]

You've done every job that exists.

[Adam Carolla]

And I walked in and I sitting next to, like, John, and I just kept staring down on the carpet going, that's mainly. If you'd had it at the Beverly Hilton, I wouldn't have agreed to do it because I don't. I don't support sclerotherm, Pretty Woman hotel. But if it's at that hotel. We used to have that account. I used to clean that ballroom, thanks to you.

[Bob Saget]

The carpet matched the drapes, which is a very, very quieting statement.

[Adam Carolla]

The great Bob say, hey, Bob, where do we send people if that we know 0 to 60 and the special and that is Amazon. But. But what about any scleroderma anything?

[Bob Saget]

They can go to srfcure.org and that would be what they would go to to find out about our future events. We're gonna do one in San Francisco in 2018. We always do the New York event at Caroline's every December. And we just did it. And Gilbert Gottfried did the auction with me, and John Oliver and George Lopez did stand up.

[Adam Carolla]

So a lot of range there, man.

[Bob Saget]

And Adam Derwitz sang a couple songs, and everybody. John Mayer did our last.

[Adam Carolla]

John Mayer? Yeah.

[Bob Saget]

He's such a. He was in la.

[Adam Carolla]
