Adam Carolla
All right, here's the deal. I don't need Glow in the Dark anything. I need peace, quiet, and a place to sit. But apparently the kids want energy shots that light up like a laser show. So here we are. Introducing 5 Hour Energy Glow Motion. Same jolt as your morning coffee, zero sugar, and now a bottle that glows under UV light. It's two ounces. That's it. You blink and it's gone. Just like your dignity after singing karaoke. Great for ravers, gamers, marathon runners, or anyone who needs to stay vertical through a PTA meeting. Go to FiveHouseEnergy.com and grab the new Glow Motion flavor. Or wait till it hits Amazon in June.

Giovanni
First we Got Adam Carla Show 288. This one's featuring Ball Brian, Brian Bishop, of course guest Kevin Nealon along with his wife Susan. It's from 2010. It's a couple of months prior to when they switched formats to the old radio show format. Hope you enjoy this nice change of pace.
Adam Carolla
Check it out.
Kevin Nealon
Hi. Kevin Nealon here, sitting in for the tardy Adam Carolla. But he will be here in minutes, I'm told. Yeah, which usually means what, Half hours?
Giovanni
That's Adam time.
Kevin Nealon
Yeah, but I'm here with bald Brian.
Giovanni
Did you call him tardy as in late or tarty as in, like, sweet?
Kevin Nealon
Well, he's both tardy and tarty.
Giovanni
I gotcha.
Kevin Nealon
And a little bit bitter. Probably more bitter than tardy or tardy. Yeah, it's part of your tongue. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I have no idea where he is. He's probably looking for a part for one of his cars.
Giovanni
All I know is Donnie was having a conversation with him a few minutes ago and it ended with whatever. Just get in your car.
Adam Carolla
Yeah.
Kevin Nealon
So. So I'm driving over here. You know, I live down in the South Bay, Right. And this is a really. A little bit too far for me.
Adam Carolla
Right.
Kevin Nealon
I don't think I'll be coming back again.
Giovanni
This is not a pleasant drive.
Kevin Nealon
It's not a pleasant drive. Especially when you don't trust the GPS system. We did the JFK junior Thing. Actually, I did. I didn't trust the.
Giovanni
I know. That ends.
Kevin Nealon
You know, we didn't end up in the ocean.
Giovanni
Okay.
Kevin Nealon
But we did end up on the 2 freeway going the wrong way.
Giovanni
Oh, yeah.
Adam Carolla
So.
Kevin Nealon
But it just didn't look like the right exit. You know, when you. You come up on something, you think, this does not feel right.
Adam Carolla
Yeah.
Giovanni
You get that hunch.
Kevin Nealon
And the GPS doesn't always steer you right. It kind of takes you around different ways, I think. No, no, that's wrong. And I'm not complaining because my wife and I got these no complaining wristbands. Where are they from?
Brian Bishop
They're from no complaint dot org. Oh, complaint free world dot org.
Giovanni
Okay.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, I heard them on.
Kevin Nealon
Oh, you heard. On the Oprah station in the car. And you can't always trust that station either.
Giovanni
Susan, by the way, is your wife. Or at least you're calling her your wife.
Kevin Nealon
She's my wife. Okay.
Giovanni
For the viewers who have no idea who that voice is.
Kevin Nealon
Yeah. So this is my current.
Giovanni
No complaining wristband.
Kevin Nealon
No complaining wristband. Yeah. And it's very difficult. It makes you realize how much you complain every day about things. You're about to complain, you go, oh, I got the wristband on.
Giovanni
Please put that on Adam when he.
Adam Carolla
Gets here and see what happens.
Kevin Nealon
I think it'd burn if I put.
Giovanni
It mine like holy water on a vampire. It would melt on his wrist.
Brian Bishop
The Goal is to go 21 days without having to move it to the other arm. So if you complain, it goes to the other wrist.
Adam Carolla
Oh.
Giovanni
Sort of like. Okay. Sort of like snapping rubber band on yourself when you do something you're not supposed to do.
Brian Bishop
Exactly.
Kevin Nealon
But that doesn't really seem like a big enough penalty just to switch it to the other wrist. It should be. You should have to have it snap. Somebody snap it 20 times at you.
Adam Carolla
Yeah.
Giovanni
Otherwise you're like. And another thing, your cluster. Like switching back and forth in the same conversation.
Kevin Nealon
Yeah, yeah, yeah. But it works for me. I'm also doubling it up as a no sweets thing, too. Nice. And sometimes I'll have a sweet, though, and I won't complain. So I have to wear both in the same together like this.
Giovanni
You complain about having sweets?
Kevin Nealon
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But I think more and more people should wear these because people do complain a lot.
Giovanni
You're telling me. I said next to Adam Carolla for three and a half years.
Kevin Nealon
I know people complain a lot, but he is ranting. He rants, doesn't he?
Giovanni
He's an outlier, as one might say. You know? And he complains more than the average person. Yeah, the average person does a fair.
Kevin Nealon
Amount of complaining, but he just thinks a lot about things and every angle on them and how it should be and why it's wrong. I guess that is complaining in my area, too.
Brian Bishop
What is complaining? Because I can say I have stage one melanoma, just to give an example. That's really not complaining. It's more giving feedback. Or I can say, oh, poor me, I have stage one melanoma.
Kevin Nealon
Susan just learned this morning that she has stage. Stage one melanoma. But it's off of the.
Giovanni
Oh, my God.
Kevin Nealon
It's off of the old charts.
Giovanni
Okay.
Kevin Nealon
And it's 100 curable.
Giovanni
Okay.
Kevin Nealon
But they have to take a little chunk out of it.
Brian Bishop
I have to have surgery on my leg. My thigh.
Adam Carolla
Okay.
Giovanni
They dig out whatever's going on.
Brian Bishop
Big chunk.
Kevin Nealon
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
Wow.
Kevin Nealon
That'll be fun.
Brian Bishop
But I'm not complaining.
Adam Carolla
Right? We're not complaining. You're actually looking forward to it. I can't wait.
Kevin Nealon
But. And I know we're going to be hearing about. She's going to be starting a melanoma One group.
Giovanni
Oh, my God.
Kevin Nealon
You know. Wow.
Giovanni
Well, this is an exciting announcement, but no.
Kevin Nealon
We have this dermatologist who's very conservative.
Giovanni
Right.
Adam Carolla
Hey, Kevin.
Kevin Nealon
Yeah?
Adam Carolla
Why don't we have Susan jump on the couch? It's weird. There's this invisible voice that.
Kevin Nealon
Okay.
Adam Carolla
Slide in next.
Giovanni
Come on, jump between us.
Adam Carolla
That's magnetic for everybody. There you go.
Giovanni
This is Susan.
Brian Bishop
Hi. Hi.
Kevin Nealon
This is the person that'll be playing Susan.
Brian Bishop
And here's my melanoma right here. Big chunk out there.
Kevin Nealon
But no, we found this doctor who's this? Dermatologist. Or maybe he's a throat specialist. I don't know what he is. He says a lot of people, they don't know when to get the melanomas out. Sure. They wait until it becomes melanoma, when you really should be going and getting it as it's like they have different levels, like 2, 3, and get it before it turns into melanoma.
Brian Bishop
You get some mold before melanoma?
Giovanni
This is a stupid question, but this is a skin thing, obviously. So when they remove it, it won't affect you too much in terms of your muscle being affected, your recovery, whatever you have to do afterwards?
Kevin Nealon
Technically, no. But she will be laid up for.
Brian Bishop
A couple months and I'll get as many volume as he'll let me have.
Kevin Nealon
Sylvia, no. So that. That's going to come in really handy for her. Yeah. In the next few days.
Brian Bishop
Yes, it was. It started today here on this hand. And then I was complaining about having melanoma and I had to move it.
Giovanni
Okay. How dare you complain about having cancer.
Brian Bishop
I know.
Kevin Nealon
Come on. But what is it called? What's your condition? Because she's got lots of molds. You could take a pencil and do like the galaxy thing, you know?
Giovanni
Let's do that. We're streaming live.
Brian Bishop
Yeah, yeah, It's. It's. There's a technical. It's in my handbag, actually. I'll grab it.
Kevin Nealon
No, that's all right. Don't worry about it. I'll make that one. It's called plastic.
Brian Bishop
It's like Zeta Shawshank Redemption.
Giovanni
Okay, so it's very complicated.
Kevin Nealon
No? What do you got going there, Bry?
Giovanni
Speaking of which, I wonder if I could do 30 seconds of business, as they say in the radio world. The company that did the bar, the sake. The sake company, as I say in Japan, did the sake for my charity event back in November, is having their own charity event. It's called Sake Fever. It's the Palms Hotel on April 9, and it's from 7 to 10pm and all proceeds go to the Lou Rubo center for Brain Health, which is very important. There's over 300 highly acclaimed sakes. And if you want tickets, email Unlvino. It's a pun. You got it. Unlvino @outherwine.com. and tickets are 50 bucks, or they're 75 bucks in the door. You can get them there. And they're a good company. They came to my aid when I needed them and they provided all the free sake for my event. And they're doing their own event, so you should support them.
Kevin Nealon
I love that they're having sake at something that relates to the brand because.
Giovanni
That'S just in case your brain cells aren't scrambled enough. Do some sake shots.
Kevin Nealon
I mean, that's really where it's all going, right?
Giovanni
It's going to the brain, filtering out all the impurities.
Kevin Nealon
Put them right in the brain. Do you like your sake cold or hot?
Giovanni
I prefer it cold.
Kevin Nealon
Cold sake.
Brian Bishop
I like to turn it into champagne.
Giovanni
Oh, see, I'm with you. I don't like sake that much, period.
Kevin Nealon
Cold or hot sake, to me, it's like it smells like ether or something. You know what I mean? It smells like it should be in a chemistry lab.
Giovanni
I agree.
Kevin Nealon
But it really does give you a good buzz. Yeah, I'll tell you that.
Giovanni
You ever do the sake bombs, you know what I'm saying, where you pound the table? You ever do that?
Kevin Nealon
No. Sake bomb.
Giovanni
Oh, the sake bombs. Well, I was. I was in a fraternity, so I know about these things. So what you do is you set up your. You set up your beer. So, mug of beer right here. And then you set up the two chopsticks on top, almost as a bridge. And then you put the sake on the two chopsticks. You pound the table. The percussion makes the chopsticks, you know, fall to the side. The sake falls in the beer. And you. Your mom.
Brian Bishop
I don't think he's ever pounded a table. I'm still waiting.
Kevin Nealon
No, no, I can't. I really can't drink a lot anymore.
Giovanni
Really?
Kevin Nealon
I used to start on Thursdays. That was my weekend. Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday. It was a weekend. And it would be tequila or Jack Daniels, you know, and. And I could. And I could do it, and Monday I'd be fine. But as I got into my 30s, I thought, I can't do this anymore, you know? And I stopped doing it. And now if I have like a couple shots of tequila, like on a Saturday, I'm still dragging on Monday.
Adam Carolla
Really?
Kevin Nealon
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Giovanni
That's especially tough because you live, you said, in the South Bay. For those outside of LA who don't know, that's a. That's not a party town.
Kevin Nealon
Blue collar town.
Giovanni
Yeah, I wouldn't say a blue blood town, maybe.
Kevin Nealon
No, it's like Allentown.
Adam Carolla
Okay.
Giovanni
It's party town, USA is what it is. It's a good time.
Kevin Nealon
It's a better place for like college kids.
Giovanni
Yes.
Kevin Nealon
You know, and stuff that. People that want to surf and things like that.
Giovanni
Yeah.
Kevin Nealon
So we're actually moving. You know, we sold our house. Closed yesterday. High five.
Giovanni
Congratulations.
Kevin Nealon
But the problem is we don't have a place to live now. We're pretty much.
Brian Bishop
So we're looking at this place, actually.
Kevin Nealon
Right. We'll clear out Ace's cars out of the back.
Giovanni
I don't see why that would be a problem.
Kevin Nealon
But here's the thing. We rented our house back from the guy we sold it to.
Giovanni
Oh my gosh.
Kevin Nealon
Isn't that crazy?
Giovanni
That's awesome.
Kevin Nealon
For him, he became our landlord.
Giovanni
Yeah.
Kevin Nealon
And now we're just renters.
Giovanni
That's fantastic.
Kevin Nealon
But we had to move out because we live on this. You know, you talk about college kids. We live on this walk street. And in the summer especially parties galore. I mean like spring break type of parties. Classic red beer cups everywhere.
Giovanni
Yeah.
Kevin Nealon
And it's like 3 o' clock in the morning and there's got kids out in front of our house yelling, kevin.
Adam Carolla
Come on, party with us, Gilmore.
Brian Bishop
Hallucinations of them at five in the morning.
Adam Carolla
Feel the flow.
Giovanni
Feel the flow.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. Yeah.
Kevin Nealon
And tap.
Adam Carolla
Tap.
Kevin Nealon
I personally enjoy that.
Adam Carolla
Sure.
Kevin Nealon
But for other people.
Giovanni
Yeah. Your wife.
Kevin Nealon
Yeah.
Giovanni
It'll be a problem.
Kevin Nealon
Yeah. And then the baby is. How old is it? Is it still a baby?
Brian Bishop
It's our child. And he's three.
Kevin Nealon
And it wakes up. And once the baby's up, that's. That's. Then they have to pay help. You know, the people partying.
Giovanni
That's a problem.
Kevin Nealon
And it got to. It was originally we wouldn't even call the cops because, you know, because you've been there but yourself and you're younger.
Giovanni
I don't think there are cops in your neck of the woods.
Kevin Nealon
They don't show up.
Giovanni
Anyway, they got parking tickets and that's it.
Kevin Nealon
They do. You've been down there? Yes.
Giovanni
Yes.
Kevin Nealon
Do you know I backed into a parking meter made a couple weeks ago.
Giovanni
That's awesome, buddy.
Kevin Nealon
Grabbed it to the truck. Good. Yeah. Get in a dark garage and I put a nice dent in the. In the car.
Giovanni
Good.
Kevin Nealon
Yours or theirs? Mine.
Adam Carolla
Go. Wow.
Giovanni
That's not so good.
Kevin Nealon
But they couldn't just.
Adam Carolla
Huh. I was gonna suggest if you guys wanted to take a couple phone calls.
Kevin Nealon
We're having a great little conversation here.
Adam Carolla
Brian, what do I do best? Interrupt. So just. You can take the phone calls whenever you want. Okay. Show you how this works real quick. Phone's off. And just pick the lines you want.
Kevin Nealon
Just. And just pick the line.
Adam Carolla
Yeah.
Kevin Nealon
And then when you're done, hit calm line.
Adam Carolla
That will disconnect the.
Kevin Nealon
Got it.
Adam Carolla
And then I'm curious. Remember the party at Adams Malibu house? Who was drinking the red wine?
Brian Bishop
Oh, that was me.
Adam Carolla
That was you.
Brian Bishop
Okay, that was me.
Adam Carolla
You were pinstriping Adam's white carpet.
Kevin Nealon
Should we talk about that? He's already touching it.
Brian Bishop
I am still mortified. I feel awful about it.
Kevin Nealon
It was a perfect type of carpet, though.
Adam Carolla
It was pure white.
Brian Bishop
Pure white.
Kevin Nealon
Red line.
Brian Bishop
It was a Hansel and Gretel. Trail of red dots all the way across.
Kevin Nealon
It was almost like somebody. It was that time of the month and they realized that they had to go.
Brian Bishop
That time it was kind of like after birth, just dripping.
Kevin Nealon
At a party.
Brian Bishop
Yeah, at a party.
Giovanni
Well, hold on. The Adam Carola I know does not like to repeat stories. So there's no way we're going to get into that when he gets here.
Kevin Nealon
Oh, he's told that. I've heard him tell that story many times.
Giovanni
I've heard him tell that story many times, too.
Kevin Nealon
He's got to repeat stuff because that's how he builds up his repertoire.
Giovanni
I was going to say Adam. Adam can't hear us right now, obviously. So why don't you and I, if we can think of a couple things we know Adam will bring up when he gets here. Because Kevin Nealon is a regular guest on the show.
Kevin Nealon
He's been here a few times since Susan's here, too. He'll definitely bring up the rug.
Giovanni
The wine.
Adam Carolla
Sure.
Kevin Nealon
Let's put a bet on that.
Giovanni
Okay.
Adam Carolla
The wine for sure.
Kevin Nealon
Bring up the wine thing. He'll ask about the kid.
Giovanni
Right.
Kevin Nealon
And the cars, how he was messing with the cars. I told Susan, in fact, and I told Susan. We can mess with Adam if you come into the room here and start messing with the cars. Yeah.
Giovanni
Start throwing this priceless car. That'll be a lot of fun.
Brian Bishop
I knew how often I went and Googled in Malibu rug cleaners. I wanted to send them as a gift. Free rug cleaning.
Giovanni
That's fantastic.
Brian Bishop
Yeah. So we should still.
Kevin Nealon
But Adam said no.
Brian Bishop
He said no. That they. That Jimmy and Sarah cleaned it up. Right. We all. Well, we all.
Kevin Nealon
He didn't really say no. He goes, well, if you want to.
Brian Bishop
Yeah, but we should have insisted on that.
Adam Carolla
No.
Brian Bishop
We owe him about a thousand dollars in rug cleaning.
Adam Carolla
Really?
Kevin Nealon
That's how much it costs us to get out there.
Giovanni
Yeah, true.
Kevin Nealon
So he owes us, basically.
Brian Bishop
Yeah.
Giovanni
Wait a minute. Let's take you guys. Brooke, even you want to take a call?
Kevin Nealon
Let's take a call.
Giovanni
Let's take a call. You have a choice. You want to take a call. When will Kevin be doing his web show live on stage or you want to talk about the new season of Weeds?
Kevin Nealon
It's up to you. Let's take both of them at the same time.
Giovanni
All right. Yeah, we'll see how this works. Now we'll do one.
Kevin Nealon
Okay.
Giovanni
Matt, can you hear us?
Caller
Yes, I'm here.
Giovanni
Matt from LA. You're 22 years old.
Kevin Nealon
He knows that. Brian, our listeners don't know. Okay.
Giovanni
People do listen.
Kevin Nealon
Okay.
Giovanni
All right, Matt from la, what's your question for Kevin Nealon?
Caller
I just wanted to know. I saw this show that he did. He was like interviewing people at the Laugh Factory. I saw it online and it was really funny. He had like Mike Epps. Paul Rodriguez was talking about constipation. It was so funny.
Adam Carolla
And I was wondering when he's gonna.
Caller
Be back in the Laugh Factory doing that. I wanted to go see it.
Kevin Nealon
Well, that is actually on the Internet now, I think, if you go to thelafffactory.com but I do have a lot of fun doing that. I'm doing tonight, in fact, a live show at the Laugh Factory every Tuesday. Typically when I'm in town and we get. What we do is we get, I come up and I do like. I don't call it new material, I call it areas because there's no material there. But there could be, right? Sometimes when you get on stage in.

Kevin Nealon
You just come up with stuff out of fear. It could evolve and it evolves.
Giovanni
Yeah.
Kevin Nealon
And then I, I bring up like maybe seven or eight different comedians. They'll do like five or six minutes of new areas and. And then I'll sit down and interview them, try to come up with more new material. Because as a comic, you know, that's priceless to come up with new material. And it's so seldom.
Brian Bishop
But isn't it a way to not commit to something, to say it's an area? Because if it doesn't go well, you can say it's just an area. Like our wedding vows. That's just an area I do.
Giovanni
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
It's an idea.
Giovanni
It's a notion.
Brian Bishop
The idea of I do is an area.
Kevin Nealon
By the way, I think when people renew their vows, right. Somebody cheated. Really?
Brian Bishop
Oh, yeah.
Giovanni
That is for me, because my parents were in their vows last year.
Kevin Nealon
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
Well, good. On renewal.
Brian Bishop
We never go to vow renewals. We throw them in the trash.
Kevin Nealon
Yeah. Why should we have to drive all the way out to your parents house. Yeah. When your dad cheated on you to see your crap.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, exactly.
Kevin Nealon
Yeah.
Giovanni
This is bad news for me because I'm what June 27th will be one year of marriage for me. I'll be here. So thank you.
Adam Carolla
So are you gonna renew your vows?
Giovanni
That's what I'm asking you. Saying no, don't renew the vows.
Kevin Nealon
Don't renew the vows.
Brian Bishop
It's a signal.
Kevin Nealon
It's a signal.
Brian Bishop
Hey, somebody's been in somebody else's pedunk dunk.
Kevin Nealon
Yeah, that's right. Okay. That's right, Matt, you're 24 now. That's right. So anyway, I hope that answered your question.
Anderson
So you said, you said you're doing that tonight?
Kevin Nealon
Yeah, at the Laugh Factory in Hollywood.
Adam Carolla
Oh, cool.
Caller
What time?
Kevin Nealon
Eight o' clock.
Adam Carolla
Nice.
Caller
I'm trying to go.
Kevin Nealon
All right, man. Bring some areas with you.
Adam Carolla
All right. Thanks, Kevin. I'm a big fan.
Giovanni
See you there, Matt.
Kevin Nealon
Yeah, so that's been good.
Giovanni
Very smoothly. How we just talked to that collar on the lawn.
Kevin Nealon
Yeah, yeah, yeah. So that's. I like doing that. I've come up with a lot of. I come up with new material by doing the Laugh Factory in Hollywood and also by doing Twitters.
Adam Carolla
Really?
Kevin Nealon
Yeah. And if you send out a joke on the Twitter and a lot of people retweet it, you know it's solid.
Giovanni
You know it's solid.
Kevin Nealon
It becomes. It goes from being area to a joke.
Giovanni
It's a litmus test, if you will.
Kevin Nealon
It is a litmus.
Giovanni
Litmus. What are you on Twitter, by the way?
Kevin Nealon
Evan Nealon.
Giovanni
Kevin. Underscore Nealon.
Kevin Nealon
Okay, cool. Sukiyegli.
Brian Bishop
Oh, I have an Asian name.
Giovanni
Wow, awesome. I've seen you a couple times live up to the Hermosa Comedy Club. Comedy and Magic Club.
Kevin Nealon
That's right. I'll be there this Thursday with Howie Mandel.
Giovanni
Oh, really?
Kevin Nealon
Yep, it's. We're doing the fundraiser for friendsofbigjoe.com friendsofbigjoe.Com youm can go to that site to get more information and tickets. But yeah, a friend of mine, Joe, came down with skin cancer, stage four. It's not melanoma one, but he did.
Brian Bishop
Not complain about it.
Giovanni
Didn't complain about it. Otherwise he would have lost all rights and privileges.
Kevin Nealon
But so, you know, he's undergone a lot of radiation treatments and he's got insurance. But even with that, because it's so expensive, the co pay thing. Yeah, I know. He can't work, you know, you Went through some of that stuff.
Giovanni
That's it. People don't hurt.
Kevin Nealon
Interrupt.
Giovanni
You people don't get it with the insurance thing. They're like, oh, oh, yes, insurance will be fine. Insurance A, is expensive. B, the stuff on top of that, insurance doesn't cover everything.
Kevin Nealon
You know what I mean? That's right. Plus, you got your strip clubs you still want to go to. You want to maintain your lifestyle.
Adam Carolla
That's therapy, man.
Kevin Nealon
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
Come on.
Giovanni
I'm writing that off.
Kevin Nealon
That is therapy. Let's go to line one.
Giovanni
Line one.
Adam Carolla
Jason.
Giovanni
Ooh, we're getting a call from Cincinnati. Jason from Cincinnati. What's up?
Adam Carolla
Hey, guys. How you doing?
Giovanni
What's happening?
Adam Carolla
Hey, I just want to ask Kevin, what can you tell us to expect from Doug and our other friends on Weeds? And when does the new season start?
Kevin Nealon
Hold on.
Giovanni
What's Weeds?
Kevin Nealon
Weeds is a show on Showtime. Yeah. Going into the sixth season. We only do, like, 13 a year.
Giovanni
Right.
Kevin Nealon
So it's such a long hiatus. But you know what? It takes a while to grow a good crop, you know?
Adam Carolla
Yeah. If you will.
Kevin Nealon
If you will. So, yeah, so we start taping next month in April, and I think the shows start airing near the end of July or August. Beginning of August. And my character will be back and some interesting turns this year, like, every year. Did you watch last season?
Adam Carolla
Oh, absolutely. I've watched them all. Last season was fantastic.
Kevin Nealon
Okay, take it easy.
Giovanni
All right, Calm down.
Kevin Nealon
I'm glad you like it. Yeah. So you know what happened at the end of last season? So I've got a feeling that. And I don't know what the writers have, you know, what they're conjuring up in store. In store. But I think some. Somebody's gonna have to be on the run. I think some people are gonna have to be.
Adam Carolla
Really?
Kevin Nealon
Oh, yeah. And it's gonna be. It's gonna be. What's it gonna be?
Giovanni
How much do they tell you about your storyline ahead of time? You know what I'm saying? Like, how much do you know?
Kevin Nealon
Not too much, really.
Giovanni
You know, a week in advance, you know?
Kevin Nealon
Yeah, yeah. You know, like the week before. And they'll tell you at the beginning of the season, they'll basically say, this is kind of your character is taking this kind of direction.
Adam Carolla
Sure.
Kevin Nealon
You know, but also, things change because they don't have the whole season written out.
Giovanni
Right.
Kevin Nealon
It's like with Lost. Oh, I used to love that show. I still love it. I want to watch, you know, the last two or three seasons.
Giovanni
Sure.
Kevin Nealon
But I did get Lost A couple years ago.
Giovanni
Yeah. Lost and.
Kevin Nealon
It's got me lost and. But I understand that they. They never really know where they're going.
Giovanni
No, the makeup is they go along. They're playing Jets. They're like, Showtime, Lakers.
Kevin Nealon
I mean, why. Why. What is it with the Lakers, man?
Adam Carolla
I.
Kevin Nealon
You know what? I just can't root for the Lakers.
Giovanni
No, I can't either. I'm from Northern California. I can't root for the Lakers.
Kevin Nealon
I mean, I'm sure they're nice guys. No, no, no.
Giovanni
They're all bad people. Except Derek Fisher.
Kevin Nealon
God damn it. Yes.
Giovanni
I would love to hate Derek Fisher, but he's a good guy.
Kevin Nealon
Yeah. Yeah. And I. The ones that speak English are good, too, and the ones that don't are good, but I just. I root against them.
Giovanni
Yeah.
Kevin Nealon
Even though they're really good. I rooted against Tiger.
Adam Carolla
Yeah.
Kevin Nealon
You know, only because.
Giovanni
Oh, you're the kind of guy that roots against.
Adam Carolla
He's the underdog.
Kevin Nealon
I like the underdog guys. But then once the underdog starts winning, boom, I want to take him down again.
Giovanni
Do you follow golf?
Kevin Nealon
A little bit, yeah.
Giovanni
Do you remember when Tiger was faced off against Rocco Media a couple years ago? Whatever the master. I think it was. Or I don't know what it was. Point is, it was really compelling, and I don't follow golf, and I was riveted. Had to watch the. The playoffs.
Kevin Nealon
That's right. I'm not a big sports fanatic, but in the same. We like to watch near the playoffs, you know, the final Super Bowl.
Giovanni
Final Four for any sport.
Kevin Nealon
Even if it's like, you know, cricket.
Adam Carolla
Sure.
Brian Bishop
We're big cricket fans.
Kevin Nealon
Know the. You know, the rules of the game. You know, this is tense. Yeah, I'm in.
Adam Carolla
Yeah.
Kevin Nealon
I mean, look at. They really want to win. I hope they win. So. Yeah, so that's. I'm gonna watch. I'm gonna watch Tiger and the Masters.
Giovanni
Yeah, of course you are.
Brian Bishop
Oh, yeah.
Giovanni
Everyone will.
Kevin Nealon
But I do like to root for the underdog.
Giovanni
I understand.
Kevin Nealon
You know, because people win too much. And with sports, some of these teams, they're just so connected with the money, and they get all the best picks, you know?
Brian Bishop
Yankees.
Giovanni
Yeah, The Yankees. The Yankees are with everything that's wrong with sports.
Kevin Nealon
And the Lakers, too. The Lakers, they could be down 30 points in the last two minutes. They could win the game.
Giovanni
Right.
Kevin Nealon
You know, it's like they kind of wait for the. That's why I think every basketball game should last two minutes.
Giovanni
Right.
Kevin Nealon
And it should be like they should start off with a score of 100 to 101.
Adam Carolla
Yeah.
Giovanni
They should spot each team 100 points and say, here you go, last two minutes.
Kevin Nealon
Just play hard, Go crazy. I would much rather do that. I would drive 45 minutes to sit there for two minutes.
Giovanni
I think it gave Mark Cuban an idea for a new sports league.
Kevin Nealon
Yeah, yeah.
Giovanni
I think we're on the submarine.
Alison Rosen
Yeah.
Kevin Nealon
Yeah. And then, you know, two minutes, though, turns into like 10 minutes because of timeouts.
Giovanni
Yeah, Timeouts and fouls and free throw shooting, everything.
Kevin Nealon
Yeah. I love it, like, when there's a basketball game and there's maybe three seconds left and they're down by four points and they take a timeout, of course, and they're trying to figure out how they're going to win this game with three seconds left and down four points. You know what I mean?
Giovanni
The math is staggering.
Kevin Nealon
I know. And they always. Not always, but a lot of times they come through and they do win.
Brian Bishop
Or when they try to mess with the kicker. That gets me in football.
Adam Carolla
Yeah.
Giovanni
Icing them.
Brian Bishop
They keep calling timeouts.
Giovanni
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
They're.
Giovanni
Ice them.
Brian Bishop
It's icing.
Giovanni
They call it. Ice in the kicker. You freeze them out. You know what I'm saying? You ice the kicker.
Kevin Nealon
Yeah.
Giovanni
It doesn't always work, by the way. Sometimes it backfires. But it's hilarious like that because the coach will. The coach will call a timeout to ice the kicker even though the kicker kicked and would have missed. You know what I'm saying? Call timeout. Sorry, it doesn't count.
Kevin Nealon
Yeah. Because originally he was coming out looking at the wrong field goal, thinking, I'm gonna go for this field goal.
Adam Carolla
Yeah.
Kevin Nealon
And then when he came back on the timeout, the coach goes, now you're going for this one, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Adam Carolla
Right.
Kevin Nealon
Okay, okay, okay.
Giovanni
And the guy's in his head thinking, my God, a 75 yard field goal, that's never been even intended, so.
Kevin Nealon
No, no. 25.
Giovanni
Much easier.
Kevin Nealon
Everybody's facing the wrong way. Everybody's facing the wrong way. I used to kick in college.
Giovanni
Really?
Kevin Nealon
Yeah. I was a place kicker and a punter and a quarterback. Wow. But I only played one year.
Adam Carolla
Sure.
Kevin Nealon
I played for Fairfield University. I took a night course in criminology.
Giovanni
Where is that? Where is that?
Kevin Nealon
It's in Connecticut.
Giovanni
Okay.
Kevin Nealon
And I took a night course in criminology so I would qualify to play on the team. And the starting quarterback got injured. But the thing was, I wanted to be a kicker. And when I came out here to do stand up comedy in Hollywood, I thought this is when the USFL was together. I thought I would go. I would try out as a kicker, you know, punter. Sure. For the team. So that way I would be doing comedy, but also have this little gimmick that I'm also, you know, a bunch of. Yeah, yeah. For the usfl. So I bought like seven USFL footballs, which are a little bit lighter than the NFL ones.
Adam Carolla
Sure.
Kevin Nealon
And I would go down to Fairfax High School and practice a lot. And I would just keep punting and kicking.
Giovanni
Wow.
Kevin Nealon
And I had some pretty good hang time as a punter, which is not a sexual. No, no thing. But it's.
Giovanni
Well, it is. But you're talking about.
Kevin Nealon
Yeah, yeah.
Brian Bishop
Unfortunately, we don't know much.
Giovanni
I understand.
Kevin Nealon
And. But then my stand up started taking off before the USFL tryouts came and I said, well, I'll use those footballs for something else.
Adam Carolla
Sure.
Kevin Nealon
You know, And. And of course, now I'm a huge star.
Giovanni
That's right. Your signature bit with the footballs is fantastic. Everyone loves that.
Kevin Nealon
I'm surprised we have not had one call about Glenn Martin dds.
Giovanni
What?
Kevin Nealon
Which is a show I do on Nick at night.
Giovanni
How come no one's called about that?
Kevin Nealon
This show is really taking off. I mean, I got a call to do this and.
Adam Carolla
That's right.
Giovanni
I remember you talking about that. Just starting to develop when you were on the radio show back in a couple years ago.
Kevin Nealon
This is starting to roll. Like, I think the Simpsons when they first started. It's along the same vein as the Simpsons and the Family Guy. It's about a family that Glenn Martin DDS and his family travel around the country in an rv. And I work my practice out of the rv and I supply the voice of Glenn Martin dds. And Catherine o' Hara plays my wife.
Giovanni
Oh, she's hilarious.
Kevin Nealon
Yeah, she's funny. And we've got a lot of good guest stars on, you know. You know, we've had Gene Simmons. Don Johnson's on there a lot. Dave. I can't forget his last name.
Giovanni
Steve Kamecney.
Kevin Nealon
Dave Koneckne.
Giovanni
Schenectady.
Kevin Nealon
Schenectady. That's it. But just a lot of fun people. Fran Drescher was on. But anyway, it's a really funny show. It's on Monday nights on Nick and Night. It's called Glenn Martin dds.
Giovanni
Right.
Kevin Nealon
And he just finished the second season.
Giovanni
He said Don Johnson and Gene Simmons. And then he said fun people. Okay. The laughter, I assume. Lot of fun people.
Kevin Nealon
Yeah, yeah.
Giovanni
Awesome.
Kevin Nealon
Susan.
Brian Bishop
No, it's a great Gig for you. You're gone one day a week.
Kevin Nealon
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
Did.
Giovanni
You grew up in Connecticut?
Kevin Nealon
Yeah, that's right.
Giovanni
And you lived out here to do your stand up in the LA area?
Kevin Nealon
Yeah, yeah.
Giovanni
And then you did SNL for nine.
Kevin Nealon
I did SNL for nine seasons.
Adam Carolla
Nine years.
Giovanni
I was right on. And then back here to la. What. What sort of brought you back out here to Los Angeles?
Kevin Nealon
Well, I had a. I had a series. I was a pilot that DreamWorks was doing. It was the first Steven Spielberg, you know, in the whole dreamworks and the dawn of. Yeah, yeah, it was called Champs. It was me and Timothy Busfield, Ed Marinero, a couple other guys. Paul Crane who used to be on ER. Maybe he's still there, I don't know. Paul McCrane. Paul McCray.
Adam Carolla
Right.
Kevin Nealon
And it was a fun show and, you know, that lasted maybe 10 episodes and it got canceled. I was in these great. I was in two great sitcoms that had great time slots, big people behind them. Imagine. I did one called Hiller and Diller with Imagine. You know, this is so cool. I hope, I hope, I hope Ace doesn't show up at all.
Giovanni
Yeah, that'd be nice.
Kevin Nealon
He doesn't listen. No. And you can't talk about yourself.
Giovanni
I'm intently listening, by the way.
Kevin Nealon
You look like you're listening, but I know there's a little glaze in your eyes, so I'm not really.
Brian Bishop
Almost like a first date, listening.
Giovanni
Really?
Kevin Nealon
You're that attentive?
Giovanni
Yeah, that's what I'm sorry you're so attentive to.
Kevin Nealon
You say really a lot.
Adam Carolla
Really.
Giovanni
I'm hoping to get lucky. I don't care with who, by the way. Kevin.
Kevin Nealon
Yes. Right.
Brian Bishop
You don't want a girl with melanoma.
Adam Carolla
No. God, no. Hey, Brian, your wife is in the other room. So let's not have to go through doing our vows again.
Giovanni
This is uncomfortable. This is uncomfortable.
Kevin Nealon
Yeah, yeah. Is she in the other room?
Giovanni
Yeah, she's on my computer. Don't read my email, Misty.
Kevin Nealon
Yeah, so, yeah. So the longer Ace is not here, the more. Because here's another prediction aside from him talking about the red wine.
Giovanni
Red wine, yeah, yeah.
Kevin Nealon
The red wine on the rug. And maybe our kid playing.
Brian Bishop
Which is what three year olds do, right?
Kevin Nealon
Yeah, yeah. He's gonna start just talking non stop, right. And you try to get a word in. He'll go, yeah, and the thing. And then he'll just talk right over you.
Giovanni
He has a lot to talk about. He was on, I believe he was doing Dancing with the Stars. Taping some stuff today. I think he was doing Leno maybe yesterday. Is that right, Donnie?
Adam Carolla
Yeah, maybe. Anyway, he's supposed to, but now he's not doing it. Okay.
Giovanni
Anyway, he's scheduled for Thursday.
Kevin Nealon
I was just saying to Susan in the back warehouse as I was showing her his collection of cars and little doodads, say, how does. How does he do this? How does he have a hobby like this where he's got a warehouse with a bunch of cars and mini bikes and planes and do this podcast show and then have a pilot that he just shot and then, you know, have. Have his family and do Lena or the Dancing with the Studio, whatever else he's doing.
Giovanni
Right.
Kevin Nealon
Him and Kimmel are like that. They've got, like, tons of things going on.
Giovanni
Lots going on.
Kevin Nealon
No Moss, no mas. See, I'm home a lot. I'm home a lot compared to those guys. They must never be home.
Giovanni
You must not. I don't know. Adam is out a lot. He has the podcast, obviously. He's doing his pilot right now, I should say. He's editing his pilot right now.
Kevin Nealon
He's editing his own pilot?
Giovanni
No, no, he is overseeing. He's contributing to the editing process. He likes to be in the.
Kevin Nealon
They must love that, having him there.
Giovanni
I believe the director gets the first crack at it. You can ask him. He loves the editing process. He was going on and on about it, so I think that's where he gets to flesh out. Not flesh out, but hone the jokes. You know what I'm saying? The timing and the beats and everything. So I imagine that's the most rewarding thing for him as a.
Kevin Nealon
But I don't know how he finds the time to do all this or has the energy.
Brian Bishop
We're getting a lot done.
Kevin Nealon
I am getting a lot done.
Brian Bishop
We're on two shows, two series. We just sold a house.
Kevin Nealon
Wow.
Brian Bishop
You took me in for my melanoma this morning, so.
Giovanni
That's right.
Adam Carolla
Don't cut yourself short.
Kevin Nealon
By the way, I taught my kid how to count to two this morning. Strong.
Adam Carolla
Yeah.
Giovanni
So, you know, what's next? Three.
Kevin Nealon
Oh, good luck with that. I'm not getting that involved. I'm not that involved at all. But what's.
Adam Carolla
What are you.
Giovanni
What you're speaking of showing off Adam's cars and do it. Ads and hobby. Any hobbies, any collections. You collect anything.
Kevin Nealon
Here's the. Here's how I feel about collecting things.
Brian Bishop
I'm glad you asked.
Kevin Nealon
I'm anti collecting because once you start the right place, you become a slave to that hobby, that collecting whatever that item is. I mean, if you collect snow globes or shot glasses, it's like that's all you're ever thinking of when you're going somewhere. Sometimes you'll take a vacation just to get a shotgun.
Giovanni
Shot glass.
Kevin Nealon
Yeah, you gotta find a shot glass.
Giovanni
Then you're on ebay all the time.
Kevin Nealon
People looking for shot glasses for you or snow globes. And you really become a slave to it.
Adam Carolla
I have.
Kevin Nealon
The most I've collected of stuff is guitars.
Giovanni
Right.
Kevin Nealon
I have like three or four guitars. That's cool. And a couple banjos.
Giovanni
Cool.
Kevin Nealon
But that's. I'm not actively looking to collect them. Say, oh, I gotta get this model right. You know, I just happen to have those because I picked them up along the way.
Giovanni
No mandolins, no ukuleles.
Brian Bishop
You know that show, the Hoarder show where people cannot walk through their home because of the clutter? We're the opposite. We have nothing. We hold on to nothing.
Kevin Nealon
We have kid toys.
Brian Bishop
We just have kid toys. But we get rid of things. Like Christmas. I got a sweater from Chico's. I gave it away in five minutes. I just keep giving things away that people give me.
Giovanni
You're like a way station for cool stuff that you send it out in the world.
Kevin Nealon
Do you ever give something and then worry that you're giving it back to the same person that gave it to you?
Giovanni
Yes.
Kevin Nealon
Has that ever happened?
Giovanni
That's never happened, but I've worried about that. I'm like, oh, crap, who gave this to me? It may have been this person. I'm gonna go with it anyway and roll the dice.
Kevin Nealon
Yeah.
Brian Bishop
Be real, real careful with books, because sometimes you'll open them up and they'll be, you know, two.
Giovanni
Oh, an inscription.
Brian Bishop
Yeah. Kevin and Susan, happy Easter. And then you give it away. It's embarrassing.
Giovanni
The problem with collecting, too, is people start to identify you with your collections, and then that's all you get is gifts. You know what I mean?
Adam Carolla
It's like, oh, you love snow globes.
Giovanni
Here's a snow globe. It's like, I have 10,000 snow globes.
Kevin Nealon
Also, if you're re gifting, like, an EPT stick, early pregnancy test.
Giovanni
That's probably not a great regift.
Kevin Nealon
Yeah, it's not a great regift. No.
Giovanni
Unless you're sure the other person is pregnant. In that case, you're like, listen, this is already.
Brian Bishop
So make sure they're three months pregnant. You don't want to get in that early zone where they.
Giovanni
Yeah, you don't Want to announce then?
Kevin Nealon
Yeah, yeah. It's hard not to announce that you're. You know what's funny? I. I found that when we were having our. When she was pregnant.
Adam Carolla
Right.
Kevin Nealon
Not we were pregnant, but when she was pregnant.
Giovanni
You wrote a book, by the way. I'm sorry to interrupt. About pregnancy.
Adam Carolla
Right.
Kevin Nealon
Yes. Called. Yes, you're pregnant. But what about me?
Giovanni
That's right. Go out and get it.
Kevin Nealon
Yeah, go out and get it now. But you're not supposed to tell anybody for the first three months.
Adam Carolla
Sure.
Kevin Nealon
But we. We had to tell some people, and we. We found that we were telling strangers, you know, like our contractor.
Giovanni
Play close to the vest or the.
Brian Bishop
Painter, because I didn't want to breathe the.
Kevin Nealon
Yeah, we breathe a few.
Brian Bishop
Yeah.
Kevin Nealon
So all these superficial people around us knew before our own family knew, which doesn't seem to make sense to me.
Giovanni
Hopefully they didn't spill the beans. You know what I'm saying? Like, the painter's painting your wall, and all of a sudden your mom, like, hey, your son's pregnant. It's like, oh, that's terrific.
Kevin Nealon
Yeah.
Brian Bishop
Yeah.
Kevin Nealon
But there's no way they would not have known because, you know, you can't hide all the EPT sticks. No, I mean, we had them. She was taking tests, like, every five seconds. You can't be pregnant. You can't be pregnant.
Brian Bishop
Six tests, I think do the cliche.
Giovanni
Thing where you go to the store and you get an arm full of tests, all six different brands.
Brian Bishop
I did it.
Giovanni
Yeah. Everyone does.
Kevin Nealon
She says, how can I be pregnant? I was only with that guy for two nights.
Giovanni
That's right.
Brian Bishop
And then I thought, oh, God, who's the father?
Kevin Nealon
Yeah, I know.
Giovanni
Kevin thought that, too.
Brian Bishop
Yeah. We had to go follow the calendar on that.
Kevin Nealon
Yeah. It's weird having a kid at my age. Cause I'm a little bit older. First time dad. Yeah. 75.
Adam Carolla
Wow.
Kevin Nealon
But no, here I'm having a kid now when all my friends are already sending their kids off to rehab. Actually.
Giovanni
Yeah.
Brian Bishop
Dr. Drew, I actually did go to the mailbox one day when I was pregnant, and I had Pregnancy magazine and ARP Retirement newsletter.
Kevin Nealon
Wow. At the same time.
Brian Bishop
At the same time.
Giovanni
Wow. That's a very unusual pairing. It is a pairing mailbox.
Kevin Nealon
We see it more and more often out in West LA.
Giovanni
That's a good point, actually.
Brian Bishop
It's very 31 0.
Giovanni
Yeah, yeah.
Kevin Nealon
But anyway, so the kid now is 25.
Adam Carolla
Sure, sure.
Giovanni
And almost off to rehab.
Kevin Nealon
Off the rehab.
Giovanni
That's cool.
Kevin Nealon
The whole Dr. Drew thing. I happen to catch celebrity Rehab.
Giovanni
Right.
Kevin Nealon
By accident a couple weeks ago.
Giovanni
Right.
Kevin Nealon
And it is kind of riveting.
Giovanni
Yes.
Kevin Nealon
I mean, we got Heidi Fleiss on there. Yeah. You got the kid.
Giovanni
Yeah, yeah. Phillips.
Kevin Nealon
Yeah. And. And I'm sure there's been a lot more since, but can that actually help people when they're trying to rehab and there's cameras on them?
Giovanni
Oh, I can't imagine.
Adam Carolla
Train wreck.
Kevin Nealon
It's a train wreck. And if Dr. Drew doesn't know that, I mean, he knows it. He's worse than Ace with self promoting.
Giovanni
Right.
Kevin Nealon
You know he's not a doctor. I bet he's not even a doctor Doctor.
Giovanni
I don't think he is.
Kevin Nealon
What doctor would actually do that on tv? They're looking for ratings, they're not looking for cures. We'll take a break. We'll be right back.
Anderson
That's right.
Adam Carolla
Wow.
Giovanni
Very controversial statement. No, you're right.
Kevin Nealon
I would imagine that.
Adam Carolla
Ryan Reynolds here from Mint Mobile. With the price of just about everything going up, we thought we'd bring our prices down. So to help us, we brought in a reverse auctioneer, which is apparently a thing Mint Mobile Unlimited premium wireless. Everybody get 30, 30.
Giovanni
Better get 30, better get 20, 20, 20.
Adam Carolla
Better get 20, 20. Everybody get 15, 15, 15, 15.
Anderson

Adam Carolla
Give it a try@mintmobile.com Switch upfront payment of 45 dollars for a 3 month plan equivalent to 15 dollars per month. Required new customer offer for first 3 months only.
Brian Bishop

Giovanni
That the people on Celebrity Rehab are harder to treat because of their celebrity.
Kevin Nealon
You know what I mean?
Giovanni
Sort of, as Drew would say, sort of narcissistic. You know, believe in let's put them on tv, believe too highly in themselves. And so I'd imagine exposing your addiction or your recovery to the world via a reality show makes it that much more difficult to treat.
Kevin Nealon
It makes it difficult to treat, but it makes them want to do it, because these people are addicted not only to alcohol and drugs. They're addicted to celebrity and being a celebrity. So they think the only way that they'll go to a rehab is if. Oh, if everybody sees me in there and I could. They could follow me. Okay, sure.
Giovanni
Then I can do it.
Kevin Nealon
Yeah. Yeah.
Adam Carolla
What does Drew do? His method to cure them is sad face.
Kevin Nealon
Yeah, Sad face. Drew loves howdy lip.
Giovanni
Yeah, that's right.
Kevin Nealon
But I do. I know it's wrong, but I. I want to watch it again. Yeah, but I'm not gonna, like, look it up and see when it's on. If I happen to see it again.
Giovanni
I record the whole season.
Kevin Nealon
See, I do this. I'm going through the channels.
Giovanni
Right. You're doing the dial.
Kevin Nealon
That's the old dial thing, but it's more like this.
Giovanni
Well, you are old, Kevin.
Kevin Nealon
I am old. I'm not old.
Giovanni
So you adjust your rabbit ears, and then you get vert and horizon, the same frequency.
Kevin Nealon
See, now, I like to have a TV in every. Every room I have, but Susan doesn't like to watch TV in the bedroom, so.
Brian Bishop
That's because I read an article about that.
Giovanni
What did the article say?
Brian Bishop
Don't watch TV in the bedroom.
Giovanni
Why did it say that?
Brian Bishop
Because it prolongs. It just will make your relationship much sunnier.
Kevin Nealon
You don't pay attention.
Brian Bishop
Much more loving if you get the TV out of the bedroom.
Giovanni
We got a TV out of the bedroom, coincidentally. So you're saying we're better off because of it.
Brian Bishop
Probably so. And we're probably gonna be invited to your valve renewal.
Kevin Nealon
Nice.
Giovanni
It'll be. Yeah, I 27th be there.
Kevin Nealon
I get. Getting the TV out of there. But leave the remote in there at least, you know, so at least if we can control each other with the remote, that would be great.
Giovanni
That'd be awesome.
Kevin Nealon
You know, louder, lower.
Giovanni
Pause, pause slow.
Brian Bishop
You'd like the pause one.
Adam Carolla
Fast forward.
Kevin Nealon
Hold it right there. Pause. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah, that's right. Okay.
Giovanni
Slow motion. Yeah, I know where this is going.
Adam Carolla
Fast forward.
Brian Bishop
I would like. For you. I would like a button to make you more dramatic.
Kevin Nealon
Wow.
Brian Bishop
Because sometimes he will. For example, when. If I say I have to have surgery, he'll call it a procedure.
Kevin Nealon
Sure.
Brian Bishop
And instead of, I'll say, can you pass the Salt. And he'll go, is that the salt? Rather than saying, pass the salt proof, he'll say, is that the salt?
Giovanni
He downplays.
Brian Bishop
He downplays everything. Sometimes you just want him to just.
Giovanni
Ratchet it up, amp it up.
Kevin Nealon
Instead of, like, saying, you know, if somebody wants to drive over, like, 200 miles to my house, I say, you want to pop by? Sure.
Adam Carolla
Yeah.
Kevin Nealon
You want to swing by?
Brian Bishop
Or he'll say, I'm scooting home from Hollywood, Suze. I'm scooting home.
Kevin Nealon
I'll be home in a few minutes.
Brian Bishop
And that's about an hour.
Giovanni
Let's try this.
Adam Carolla
Kevin.
Giovanni
Kevin, I'm too drunk to drive home.
Kevin Nealon
Yeah, all right, well, just come on, pop over. It's only a couple months.
Giovanni
I don't think it's a good idea. I'm pretty messed up right now.
Kevin Nealon
But, see, she gets angry because I'm. I am not real.
Brian Bishop
Watch your bracelet.
Kevin Nealon
I'm not. No, I'm explaining what you are.
Brian Bishop
Okay.
Kevin Nealon
Because I'm not real dramatic, you know? Like, if somebody said, I won the lottery, I go, are you shit?
Adam Carolla
Really? That is great.
Kevin Nealon
I won't be like, what?
Giovanni
First of all, who's Adam? Lock the doors.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. So, you guys, your time of talking is over now.
Kevin Nealon
You're right about that. See, even when. When A shows up, I don't get that excited.
Giovanni
Yeah.
Kevin Nealon
You know, I mean, I'm really excited.
Brian Bishop
That he's here, whereas I'll be like, how wonderful. How are you? I just want to.
Kevin Nealon
He's very demonstrative.
Adam Carolla
I understand.
Brian Bishop
Yeah.
Kevin Nealon
But I. My father raised me, like, to be in airline pilot, like, because that's what I wanted to be, really. Every time I got excited in the car, he would say, no, you know, you're not. Can't be an airline pilot if you're getting excited over little things like this. Yeah.
Adam Carolla
Kevin.
Giovanni
Jumping around the cockpit.
Kevin Nealon
So I am trained now to be an airline.
Giovanni
Hey, welcome to the Kevin Ealand Show.
Adam Carolla
Adam Pearl.
Kevin Nealon
Hey, take your time, buddy. Take your time.
Brian Bishop
Good to see you.
Adam Carolla
Hi.
Kevin Nealon
Are you on Dancing with the Stars?
Adam Carolla
I'm doing a bit. Yeah. I'm doing a comedy bit tonight.
Kevin Nealon
Are you actually not a dancer, though?
Adam Carolla
I like to think of myself as a dancer, yes.
Kevin Nealon
Natural boosters and headphones.
Adam Carolla
No, we call them cans in the business.
Kevin Nealon
But you're not in the business, are you?
Adam Carolla
I got another set of. Does it look like I'm in the business.
Kevin Nealon
Now? What did we predict when he came?
Anderson
I'm not gonna say.
Adam Carolla
How about these?
Brian Bishop
You can have these. You can have these.
Kevin Nealon
Want these cans?
Adam Carolla
No, no, it's fine. Underneath that pillow is.
Brian Bishop
Oh, here's some. Okay. Oh, here. Here we go.
Adam Carolla
Should we talk? There you go. Let me take this moment to tell everyone we're going to be at the Brea Improv.
Kevin Nealon
That's tonight, right?
Giovanni
I should have that tonight.
Adam Carolla
Brain Pro. Plenty.
Kevin Nealon
How do you know we didn't say that already?
Adam Carolla
I just. You know what? Even if you did.
Kevin Nealon
Nice.
Adam Carolla
Yeah.
Kevin Nealon
And I'm gonna be at the. I'm gonna be at the Comedy Magic Club on Thursday. Howie Mandel. Did you know that?
Adam Carolla
No, but how come. How come there's. Oh, for Big Lou.
Giovanni
Didn't I say the same thing?
Adam Carolla
Well, that means he should change his name to. That's right.
Kevin Nealon
So go ahead, ask us how we're doing.
Adam Carolla
How are you doing?
Kevin Nealon
We're doing great. Thanks for asking.
Adam Carolla
Anyway, so here I am. Well, you thought I was just gonna talk about myself. Really? No. Where were we? We. I don't want to interrupt.
Kevin Nealon
Covered a lot of things. We're just talking how I am not real demonstrative when it comes to excitement or big news. It's always like, hang back. Because my father raised me to not to get excitable. Because I wanted to be an airline pilot.
Adam Carolla
Right.
Kevin Nealon
And if something like, went wrong at the house and I. You want to be an airline pilot? You can't get excited like that.
Adam Carolla
Oh, really?
Kevin Nealon
Yeah. So now I'm like, even. Even keeled.
Brian Bishop
Yeah. But sometimes you want someone to go over the top with you and go there emotionally.
Kevin Nealon
Well, here's the thing. I know that she wants that. So now a lot of times when I'm not even that excited, I will feign excitement.
Adam Carolla
Right. That is great. When does that start? Yeah. And it's just like. Well, it's the Penny Saver. It's free. They give them to everyone in the neighborhood. That is an awesome publication. That kind of stuff.
Kevin Nealon
It's like when somebody meets me on the street and they recognize me, I will match their enthusiasm. Like, if they say, oh, hey, man, how's it going? I say, good, how you doing? But if they come and go, hey, man, I'm a big fan. Hey, man, good to see you.
Adam Carolla
Right.
Kevin Nealon
It's just a natural kind of.
Adam Carolla
We're the same that way we don't have anything in us.
Kevin Nealon
Right?
Adam Carolla
No life force, no energy. I think you know that about me, Kevin. And it's tough on the ladies.
Brian Bishop
Not a lot of bells and whistles with Nealan, which is a good thing, though.
Adam Carolla
Listen, but here's the thing if you told women, look, you don't get the highs, but you don't get the lows either. That doesn't sound like a great relationship. That flatline thing they're not interested in. Well, because I tell my wife, look, if I had more enthusiasm, more energy, and more passionate, perhaps I'd be beating the shit out of you right now. Like you don't know. I just, maybe it's just, I, I, maybe I'm just too lazy to get off the sofa. Like you want all this, but be careful. These are the guys who cheat. These are the guys who drink. These are the guys who pitch fits. These are the guys who are, you know, going through your BlackBerry and finding phone numbers they don't recognize and then calling.
Kevin Nealon
The man has a point.
Adam Carolla
Caring is a double edged sword.
Brian Bishop
Yeah, right.
Kevin Nealon
Kevin, we will be there for you. Oh, yeah, we'll be there anytime.
Adam Carolla
Absolutely.
Kevin Nealon
Because we're not hopping around celebrating something.
Brian Bishop
Like this morning, how you handled things this morning.
Kevin Nealon
Yeah.
Brian Bishop
With the diagnosis. And then I called my mom and you know how my mom, what my mom said, I'm on the next plane, I'm coming right out there.
Kevin Nealon
I would have said that too, but I was already there.
Brian Bishop
You were there?
Giovanni
Moms are funny like that.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, you can't get on the next plane to your kitchen when you're in it.
Kevin Nealon
The house is not that close for them.
Adam Carolla
But what happened?
Kevin Nealon
Well, we were just talking earlier that she was diagnosed. Now it's not on the dermatologist charts anymore because insurance. But the level of her mold was considered melanoma one years ago.
Brian Bishop
Stage one.
Kevin Nealon
Stage one. But now it's not because of insurance things. You know, we have a very conservative dermatologist who has diagnosed her with melanoma one. Well, they call it melanoma one. So they have to take a little.
Brian Bishop
Chunk of skin, a chunk out of my leg on April 22, like half my thigh.
Adam Carolla
And what you got back from Kevin.
Brian Bishop
With that news was, this is what Kevin said. He goes, fair enough, fair enough, fair enough, fair enough. We'll have a little procedure, a little family procedure.
Adam Carolla
But shouldn't guys like Kevin and I get credit for not pulling our hair out and running in a circle and screaming the sky is falling. Like, wouldn't that cry out more? I know what you want. You want to rock. You want to rock, right?
Kevin Nealon
No, you're looking for. You got to be more metrosexual, I guess.
Adam Carolla
No, I'll tell you what they, I'll tell you what they want. They want a. Oh, my God, that's horrible. I feel horrible for you. And then a pause of, we're going to beat this. I'm going to be there. Do not worry. And then once they stoic meets one of their friends from work. But the problem is, is that's never really the same person. And I argue that us flatliners get a bad rap. Ultimately, big picture, it's a better life. You want to be with Jesse James. I mean, the point is, these guys are, like, all passionate about shit. They're passionate on your friends, too, when you're out of town. Like, they have passion.
Giovanni
Passion knows no bounds.
Adam Carolla
Well, no, and it's true.
Kevin Nealon
I just don't get excited. I just, you know, I'm a realist. I'm a realist. Because if somebody says, you know, you got. If somebody tells me good news, I think, okay, I love good news. But let's make sure it's good news first before we don't celebrate. Right.
Adam Carolla
You don't want to pop the cork on that empty bottle of champagne prematurely.
Kevin Nealon
That's right. Because.
Giovanni
What?
Kevin Nealon
We have been let down too many times over our lives, Ace.
Adam Carolla
I'm just dead inside. Really. I don't know.
Kevin Nealon
I don't really know. I'm dead and you're rotting.
Giovanni
It's a great conversation.
Adam Carolla
I don't know what happened. My dad, I didn't talk to him about being a pilot, but I just learned, don't react to anything. It doesn't really get you anywhere, and it doesn't make you.
Kevin Nealon
But you do react, though. But it's more verbally. And, you know, you react for a long time afterwards instead of getting it all out, you react verbally. Discussing it, analyzing it.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, no, I mean, I'm very passionate about things like passion fruit iced tea versus regular iced tea. I do 40 minutes on that. But melanoma, I got a. There you go.
Kevin Nealon
That's the problem.
Adam Carolla
That's really my problem. And, you know, for. It's me, it's like. And also, I. I hate to say this, Suzanne, but. Or is it. Wait, Susan. Sorry.
Brian Bishop
Yes.
Adam Carolla
My best friend is a Suzanne. And then Drew Pinsky's wife is a Susan in it. And I get. I toggle back and forth.
Kevin Nealon
And that's Brian.
Adam Carolla
Brian, that's Brianna. I will say this, too. You guys sound the alarm a little too quickly sometimes. And we know guys meaning females.
Brian Bishop
You guys mean you like.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, My wife, I'll come home, she'll be sobbing. What's the matter, Molly? Molly just got back from the vet. Cancer, Body riddled. With cancer. Really?
Kevin Nealon
What.
Adam Carolla
What does she have? She's got a tumor. Well, what kind of tumor? They don't know yet. I'm like, all right, well, then let's not, you know, light the candles and jump the gun here. Until we find out, I'm just. You're S.O.B. your sobbing mess. We don't know anything yet, so I'm not joining you in your and they throw myself in the grave with Molly campaign because we don't know anything. And a lot of the time, in Molly's case, she had an operation. It caught. She just.
Kevin Nealon
She did.
Adam Carolla
My wife did. She does two good ones. She's not huge with numbers. So she did something. She did a. I said, how much is the operation? It's 19 grand. I said, 19 grand, what? She said, you know, don't you love the dog? I said, you know, call him back the next day. So she called back the next day. Oh, it's 1,900. I said, okay, thank you. That's different. Last night, I was talking to her. I said, did the air conditioning guy give a quote on the warehouse air conditioning? She said, yeah, 2200. I said, 2200. That sounds way too. Oh, no, 22,000. I'm like, could you stop. Please stop doing that. It's. It's horrible to have a life full of. Oh, no, you didn't. I ate it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that.
Kevin Nealon
That.
Adam Carolla
That thing. So you guys prematurely and emotionally sort of throw yourself into these things.
Brian Bishop
Yes.
Adam Carolla
And I think it's our job not to follow you down that hallway of despair.
Kevin Nealon
We should kind of keep the female in check.
Adam Carolla
Right?
Kevin Nealon
But we also have our downfalls too, you know?
Adam Carolla
No, this is kind of one of them. But it just. It's good. It's good that I didn't freak out over Molly, my wife. And I don't think she wants to see her husband freak out over Molly.
Kevin Nealon
Here's the biggest thing that Susan hates that I try to do, and I think all guys do. Suzanne.
Brian Bishop
I just changed it.
Kevin Nealon
I try to fix things, you know, instead of listening.
Adam Carolla
Right.
Brian Bishop
And sometimes I'll say, just for three minutes, listen to me and validate me. And then a lot of times, I'm.
Kevin Nealon
Fixing it before she's even finished telling me what's going on.
Adam Carolla
Right.
Kevin Nealon
Give me an example of Kevin right now.
Brian Bishop
I'm really overwhelmed with the baby.
Kevin Nealon
You gotta just sit back a little bit.
Brian Bishop
And all this family that keeps coming in town.
Kevin Nealon
Did you walk down to the pier?
Brian Bishop
I'm so tired of hosting. I'm tired of making Meals don't do it anymore. I would really like support.
Kevin Nealon
You got the support. I'm here all the time. Wasn't out here yesterday for half hour.
Giovanni
You guys are renew yourselves.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, I do that too. You just. You want to fix it, you jump in. Well, also, they're bitching about someone from work or something. You don't really care. So what, you really just want to kind of. Sorry. You want to nip it in a bud? Well, you know, it's really. Three quarters of it is about nothing. I'm sorry. It's an emotional three quarters. Really. All right, seven, eight.
Brian Bishop
But aren't you a little bit interested?
Adam Carolla
It affects them.
Kevin Nealon
You gotta validate them. You gotta validate the feeling because it is a real feeling and they are upset about something. So you have to validate it.
Adam Carolla
Okay.
Kevin Nealon
And then you try to fix it.
Brian Bishop
Like this morning, what you should have said to me, I mean, just to go back with the melon circle back. Yeah. Is I can't imagine how frightened you must be. I would be so scared too.
Adam Carolla
But doesn't it.
Brian Bishop
Wouldn't that be nice to hear? And that would validate my fear.
Adam Carolla
And then I'd be like, wow, it's the validation stuff. But I mean, it's like when Brian was telling me about his brain tumor, I was.
Kevin Nealon
I'm sorry.
Adam Carolla
On the.
Giovanni
How dare you.
Kevin Nealon
I can't imagine how horrible that is.
Giovanni
Pretty much how the conversation.
Adam Carolla
I was trying to be calm with him and then he. When I hung up the phone with him. You know what I mean? Like, I was trying to. Oh, buddy, this is, you know, it's a little step backward, but we're gonna beat this, you know, little step, half step backward. But then when I got off the phone, I was really concerned, but I didn't want to. Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
Kevin Nealon
How does that help anything?
Adam Carolla
It doesn't help anything. I don't want people to do it to me either. If I ever have any problems.
Kevin Nealon
I was like, oh, I think women are different, though. I think women do. They like to feel validated and they like to be listened to. And I get it. I get it now.
Adam Carolla
I know that winked his eye, everybody.
Kevin Nealon
I didn't.
Adam Carolla
Look. There's a balance. And I have to catch myself like halfway into conversations with almost everyone and just like, pretend you're listening. What would a normal. What would a normal people.
Kevin Nealon
I'm sure you're married to me.
Brian Bishop
Has there been times I've shared stuff with you that you haven't cared. Cared at all? And you just Wish I would shut my lip.
Kevin Nealon
Never.
Brian Bishop
Really.
Kevin Nealon
I've always cared.
Adam Carolla
Wow.
Brian Bishop
Come on. Because you should tell me. Seriously, if you say, I'm really bored by your story, I would love to know what bores.
Kevin Nealon
You know, melanoma bored me a little bit, but I can't tell you that. No, it lost me halfway through.
Adam Carolla
There's also. I don't know if you guys go through this either, but there's the. I did a version of it last night. My wife does a lot of it. Drives me nuts. She'll do the. Did you feed Molly? Yes, I did. So you fed her little like, listen. Yeah. Oh, you know, and I was lying about the kibble, you're right. And I said, yeah, okay. So you fed Molly like how many laughs on feed Molly? Because she doesn't quite believe what I did. You know, look after the stuff that involves taking care of other things and stuff like that. She does that with me. And last night, night, I got home and I spent all day doing a bunch of ADR crap and then the whole rest of the day in an edit bay in a very, like, stressful. The pilot's got to be turned in by today and arguing over music and blah, blah, blah. And then had to go home and watch a two hour Dancing with the Stars make notes on it and then go into Dancing with Stars this morning and do my bit based on all these notes. And I called my wife at like 4:00 clock and I said, the early feed, the east coast feed is 5 to 7. TiVo it in the den. I'm coming home at, you know, six o' clock. I'll have an hour head start on the TiVo. I need to pile through this thing, make my notes, blah, blah, blah. I was stressed out, I got home, I sat down. Dancing with the Stars was not on and then it was not TiVo, you know, and then she did the. Hey, man, I. I set it up and I was like, really? Because it's not here. And she said, yeah, that thing must be on the blank or something. And I said, everything I record is always there. And she said, hey, I did it. And I said, I did the thing that guys do. I'm not saying you didn't do it. I'm just saying it's not here and it's never happened to me. And every time. Which is essentially the same as saying you didn't do it or like you fucked something up. And she just kept saying, I did everything. I checked, I double checked. I put it in and I walked away done. And I'm like, but it's not here and I'm tired and I need this and what the fuck? And I, we're at a, we're at impasse. I, I wasn't calling her a liar. She did something.
Kevin Nealon
Disappointed.
Adam Carolla
She half assed some portion or part of it. It wasn't as important to her as it should have been. Yeah, I've been gone for nine hours working. I was going to work all night on this and then get up first thing in the morning and go work on it again. And you should have, you were on the phone while you were doing this or something.
Kevin Nealon
Well, here's the thing, here's the thing. She called me on the other day. I said to her, I said, how would you feel about me going to yoga for about an hour?
Brian Bishop
Instead she's been, no, you didn't say, I need to circle back to what was really true. What you said is, look, according to the chart, yoga's at 12 o' clock today.
Kevin Nealon
Oh, was that fast?
Brian Bishop
Yeah. You said, Yoga's at 12 o' clock today.
Kevin Nealon
How would you feel about me going for an hour? And you said what you really should be asking me is would you watch our child for an hour when I go do yoga?
Adam Carolla
I see, right. That's the real question.
Brian Bishop
Yeah. Would you mother while I go and do this by myself with some hot tootsies and little leotards? Right.
Adam Carolla
Well, he's going to be an immediate.
Kevin Nealon
I did hear a guy on the, on the, I live near a strand, you know, by the beach, and I heard this guy walking with his wife. I just happened to pass him at this time and I heard the guy go to the wife. Do you think it'd be all right if I played golf tomorrow?
Brian Bishop
But what did I say? I said, first of all, you don't have to ask me.
Kevin Nealon
No, I know, you never have to.
Brian Bishop
Ask me to take care of you.
Kevin Nealon
But I just want to make sure that you didn't need something that, you know, I was being there.
Brian Bishop
12 to 1245.
Adam Carolla
I think I can feed myself, you guys. You're getting any help around the house? The nannies and that kind of stuff?
Brian Bishop
Yeah, we're awful with that because we, we have them come over and then we send them home and we do.
Kevin Nealon
Have a gardener that watches the Kid.
Adam Carolla
Corral's, a little leaf blower.
Kevin Nealon
No, no, this is the thing we have, we have part time help and we don't.
Brian Bishop
We paid full time. But she stays part time because we.
Kevin Nealon
Send her home all the time and then we Regret sending her home? I said, who you sent? Why'd you send her home? Because I want to watch him, you know?
Brian Bishop
Yeah. I want to be with him all time.
Adam Carolla
Get over there. Well, that's the other. That's the other beef I have with my wife, which is she doesn't pay for anything. I pay for everything. So we have the full time, part time. We have Olga, who is. Gets paid full time, but she's there Monday, Wednesday, Friday.
Brian Bishop
Oh, yeah.
Adam Carolla
And then on occasion, I say, let's go out Saturday night and see a movie. Well, I'll. I'll hire a sitter. I said, ask Olga to come by and do it. Don't bother Olga. I know to you it feels like. Like we're just barging into Olga's apartment and dragging her out by her ear. To me, I'm paying her for this. We just never use her. And now I'm gonna pay a sitter, which, by the way, the sitters are like 10, 15 bucks an hour. I got paid a fucking dollar an hour by my neighbor.
Brian Bishop
$60 to go to dinner on a Saturday night.
Adam Carolla
I ate $80 worth of food, but I still just did a dollar. Literally. Things must have been so easy to calculate. Like, well, you got here at 8. It's 12, $4. Like 1. Let's see. Let's try to figure out this.
Brian Bishop
17. 50 times 4.
Adam Carolla
When did this become. When did you get into, like, the drywallers union or something? You're just some teen or sitting around, like, looking for your weed or watching, you know, pay per view or something. What do you need with 15 bucks an hour, by the way? My house is a shitload nicer than your shitty apartment that you came from.
Kevin Nealon
That's right.
Adam Carolla
I could make an argument for you giving me $3 an hour being in my house. You got high def at your place. I didn't think so. That's all I'm saying. Come on, you got. You got rule the roost here. And you got a nice pad.
Kevin Nealon
I know, I know. You feel guilty. You feel guilty.
Adam Carolla
I don't. I'm like, tell Olga to come. Tell Olga to come Saturday. Lynette has the same thing with everyone. I guess anyone naturally would who doesn't physically pay. Whoever, you know, like, go tell the gardener. Go to bother him. It's like he's a kindly Mexican who shows up once a week and does a bunch of work. That part where she's cutting the check, I think that that's the part she needs to feel.
Brian Bishop
See, I write the checks in the family. But I write all the checks to everybody. But Kevin has to go and do the little dirty work and ask Ms. Carmen to come on a Saturday night.
Kevin Nealon
But here's how I do it. I'm like, lynette. I go, it's always like a favorite. I'm asking for a favor, right? Like, would you mind taking the trash out? Would you be able to do that for me? You know, instead of saying, could you get the trash?
Adam Carolla
Right.
Kevin Nealon
Because we're paying you $20 an hour.
Adam Carolla
Right. Shaking your ass.
Kevin Nealon
By the way, you've had my wife here now and my son in the studio.
Adam Carolla
Oh, yeah, that's right. Last time. Last time you were here, your son was running around. Wow. Dinner's ready. Quite a bit of noise. Hit one of our rambunctious.
Giovanni
One of our assured topics.
Adam Carolla
You would.
Giovanni
You would. You would hit on.
Kevin Nealon
You mentioned it.
Giovanni
Yeah. The sun destroying the cars.
Adam Carolla
Oh. The sun destroying my sea. Oh. Now in the moment. The wine spillage. Yes. Ring the bell. Oh, let's see.
Brian Bishop
Still horrifying.
Adam Carolla
I thought about it that way. Would have gotten that.
Kevin Nealon
Yeah. Those are the two topics.
Giovanni
Yeah.
Kevin Nealon
And then I was saying to.
Adam Carolla
Oh, let me try this. So I'm going for the trifecta. Anal warts. Yes. Wait, who's in Awards? You want to try taking a phone call? Hey, Ken. Yeah? There's a Mindy McCready sex tape. Oh, yeah? You didn't know about this? Well, I've.
Kevin Nealon
The sportscaster lady, right?
Adam Carolla
No, that's a country singer from the rehab show Celebrity Rehab we talked about earlier.
Giovanni
It's a callback to earlier.
Kevin Nealon
Okay. She was in rehab.
Adam Carolla
I've masturbated to the seizure she had on Celebrity Rehab, but that's not the same. Yeah, I'm just having a thing for seizures. I'm assuming that these days they probably look pretty close to the same thing. There is a sex tape. Well, that's the word, apparently. On Monday.
Caller
Yeah, they announced that. Or Vivid Entertainment, I guess, announced that.
Adam Carolla
There'S a sex tape. So it's kind of a good news, bad news.
Giovanni
Hey, good news, Brian, if I had.
Adam Carolla
Told you 14 years ago. Yeah, that would be great. Bad news is it's unclear what year these were filmed. Yeah, yeah.
Giovanni
1997. That'd be fantastic.
Adam Carolla
Kind of went the Tanya Harding route.
Kevin Nealon
I'm so naive. I'm not even sure who she is. I don't watch.
Adam Carolla
She's a country singer that was in rehab and had this. There was this horrible scene, by the way, which was her and Mackenzie Phillips. Right. And they're both in their bed like they're bunk mates. Twin beds. That Dr. Drew's thing. Yeah, they're twin beds, like, right and the left. And they were having this thing where they were, like, jawing and jabbering and girls talk and was, like, funny and. And she's like, isn't that guy so goofy? I can't believe it. And Mindy McCready went into a seizure, but it seemed like she was still in the conversation and started, like, making fun of the person. It's kind of like dying on stage as a comedian and then thinking it's part of your act. And they happen to be just going back and forth. He's like, oh, yeah, that guy said. And Mackenzie Phillips laughing her ass off, like, yeah, it's good. That's good stuff. And then she falls over off the bed onto the floor. And Mackenzie's like, ah, stop it. You slay me. And then at a certain point, there's that horrible realization where not only is this person having a seizure, but I've been laughing at it for the last 10 count. And now I'm being filmed laughing at the person's seizure.
Giovanni
To be fair, it's the funniest seizure I ever seen.
Adam Carolla
Scene. It was. It was a hilarious seizure.
Kevin Nealon
When I was on Saturday Live, Bill Murray was hosting one one week, and we had this Extron who had a line, and his line was, it was supposed to take place in a prison, and Bill Murray was doing his lounge singer guy in the prison, and he. He supposed to go to this guy, some, something, something. And then the guy's supposed to say, he's my bitch, right? And it came time for him to say, and the guy just froze, right? Just froze. And I would say, he's my bitch. And I covered for him, right? And, you know, the scene ends and the guy walks off, and then five minutes later, they're calling for paramedics and stuff because the guy's having a seizure in the extras holding room.
Adam Carolla
Wow.
Kevin Nealon
Yeah. So I. I ran over there, and the guy's eyes were rolling back.
Adam Carolla
Do you think headset was, like, a precursor? Like him not being able to, like.
Kevin Nealon
Oh, yeah, yeah. I think it was just nerves.
Brian Bishop
And he was a tough town, man.
Adam Carolla
Star Wars. Nothing but Star Wars. Give me them. Star wars. Who. What was Mackenzie Phillips laughing saying? She shows up.
Kevin Nealon
How long do these people stay in celebrity rehab? We were just talking about that earlier. Dr. Drew, he's not trying to cure them. He's looking for ratings. Because you can't cure somebody in a In a place like that on TV?
Adam Carolla
Well, yeah, I don't. I mean, it's.
Kevin Nealon
You know, Dr. Drew.
Adam Carolla
I do. He.
Kevin Nealon
He really think he's gonna.
Adam Carolla
I think he does think he's going to do something. Although it must be. It'd be great to be in a profession like where your batting average is way less than 200 and everyone just understands it. Like, out of 10 rehab patients, eight and a half of them will relapse after a month with Dr. Drew and the facility and thousands of dollars and. And that's just the name of the game. And I wish when I was a carpenter, I could do the same thing where it's like, well, you know, eight out of the 10 front doors I swing don't stay on the hinges past. Past that midnight. So, you know, and then, of course, I come back when the door just falls off that I hung again and went. Yeah. Figure that would happen. Anyway, another $2,000. I'll see if I can get it back up. But don't expect anything. These things will fall off five, eight times before they swing. Like, it would be a great.
Giovanni
What do you think other professions are that in that arena? Probably like hostage negotiator, airline pilots.
Adam Carolla
Probably not. The most would be a great one for that. Yeah. I mean, imagine if your batting average could be that abysmal. And yet that was just part of, like, hey, Kevin, you do stand up, right? Yeah. Most every time. Nary a laugh, but, you know, that's the business. You still get paid, you do your thing.
Kevin Nealon
I would love to be a hostage negotiator.
Adam Carolla
Yeah.
Kevin Nealon
I mean, that seems like it'd be a fun, you know, a challenging job. Exciting.
Giovanni
Yeah.
Kevin Nealon
Yeah.
Brian Bishop
You have to stay calm.
Adam Carolla
Well, Kevin, you'd make him look good at that. Yeah, you'd be good at that.
Brian Bishop
Do your pilot voice. Do what you do on the plane.
Kevin Nealon
Well, it's just very reserved. Like, we'll be more climbing to an altitude of 4, 600ft. I say 4600. I mean, 46,000. 46,000ft. Enjoy ride. You know, just kind of.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, but.
Kevin Nealon
But I would get those guys. I would say, fellas, what's going on? You know, trying to.
Adam Carolla
Negotiating.
Kevin Nealon
Yeah. What's up? What's up?
Adam Carolla
Yeah.
Kevin Nealon
See, this is where I'd be like you. You. I would be perfect.
Brian Bishop
Airplanes. He used to calm me down because I was an emergency landing a long.
Kevin Nealon
Time, but I would.
Brian Bishop
So he has to calm me down on airplanes, and he does that voice.
Kevin Nealon
I would validate. I would validate the hostage takers. I Would say, okay, what's the problem? Totally get it. I totally get it. Right. I understand. I. I can only imagine how frustrated you must seem. And I. Yeah, right. And what can we do for you?
Adam Carolla
Yeah.
Kevin Nealon
How many guys you get back in there? 12. That's not that bad. That's not that many.
Adam Carolla
I'd start everything with an offering of pizza. Who's not as good for pizza?
Kevin Nealon
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
Because I feel like there's no place on earth that you're not 20 minutes away from some decent pizza. It slides under a door. See, here's the. And then find common ground. I like pineapple, too. I don't know. People make fun of me.
Kevin Nealon
Here's how we would work as a team. Hostage. I would be the guy they sent in first to see if they can get him to talk him down and come out and let it go. If that didn't work, they'd bring you in. You would be the guy. You would try to get the guy to get in position so the cops can get a clear shot at him.
Adam Carolla
Yeah.
Kevin Nealon
You know what I mean? Just kind of. What is that? Is that something up on the corner of the window up there and have them look up.
Adam Carolla
The sniper can go 711 or streamline molding, whether they use a finger joint pipe. Check that for me.
Brian Bishop
I'm really good, buddy. Film right here.
Adam Carolla
Reveal on that casing. We call it good cut.
Giovanni
Boring cup.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, Go hit the bay window there. Let me check that out. Yeah, you do that. But again, you know, I think I would definitely start with a pizza offering because I feel like culturally, that thing crosses almost every. It transcends almost every boundary. You know what I mean?
Kevin Nealon
You know, you have any kind of gathering at your house, and you didn't really plan anything. Pizza is always the savior. You know, you say, who wants pizza? And you get at least three or four hands going up out of 20.
Adam Carolla
Yeah.
Kevin Nealon
You know, you don't even have to make it. You have somebody bring it to you.
Adam Carolla
They bring right to your door.
Kevin Nealon
That's the beauty.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. Yeah, I do like that guy brings a pizza to your door. Although I always think that when these guys pull up and they're, you know, broken down Chevettes with the sign hanging off the top, and you can see the dirty clothes piled up in the boot of the thing, and you think, this is really so great that this guy knows where I live and kind of knows to lay the land over here. I mean, these guys. These guys are on the fringe. I mean, if you're. See, it used to be Maybe it's this way in your hometown if you're listening, but there used to be the pizza boy, not the crazy 40 something year old pizza foreigner, you know what I mean? Who's casing your house? I mean there was. Maybe Los Angeles is different than some smaller towns in the Midwest. But you had the pizza boy. Delivery boy. You had the boy. You know, this guy was. The guy went to high school, he was gonna go off to college next year, but for now he was making tips and ends meet, borrowed his dad's Buick and he was dropping off your pizza. Now we have scary 51 year old guy on the fringes of life who's coming up and getting the lay in a land over at your pad.
Kevin Nealon
He's got a carjacked car he's using.
Brian Bishop
Yeah, he does extra work on the side.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. Goes into seizures. No, I'm just saying I am creeped out by the 40 something year old, you know, guy whose nationality I can't quite put my finger on, pulling up in his pile of shit and dropping a Rorschach test of transmission fluid on my tumbled sandstone pavers. Do you know what I'm saying? I want the delivery boy.
Kevin Nealon
You described it so exactly. I know exactly what you're saying.
Adam Carolla
We got the crazy hair. I mean, let's just do it this, let's do this math. Who do you know that's in their late 40s that's delivering pizza as a gig?
Kevin Nealon
I know, but that said, when I see those guys standing out there, the 40 year old with a sign pointing into, you know, the Joe's coffee place out on the streets, spend the sign instead. Or, or, or the guy with a pizza, that's 51, I think, God bless him, man. He's working, he's trying to make a living, you know, he's not collecting unemployment, he's out there taking a job.
Adam Carolla
Next scenery, kids missing. Yeah, God bless him. Anyway, let me tell you about the guy spinning the sign with the condo. I appreciate the artistry of it. And they're even going to have a competition. They have competition.
Kevin Nealon
They get so bored out there, they.
Adam Carolla
Got competitions for them. Which by the way, as a spectator, grocery bagging competitions or condo arrow sign spinning competitions. Well, it would be worse, a worse afternoon. But I'm just saying this, with the guy out on the corner with the condo sign, that thing is facing up, down and toward Mecca more than it is toward the condo. I may want to buy if I'm the owner of those condos. Like, hey, dill weed point it at the goddamn condo. You throwing it up in the air and spinning it all over like.
Kevin Nealon
We're driving, we're turning, I don't know.
Adam Carolla
Trying to follow, stuffing it down in the ground, going up in the air, making hard less and oncoming traffic.
Kevin Nealon
You try to follow that side, to.
Adam Carolla
Follow that side, it's barrel rolling and twisting. I mean, you really. You can't.
Kevin Nealon
But I get it. Those guys are so bored out there, they're standing out there all day. I used to.
Adam Carolla
Everyone's bored. I mean everyone, like. But here's the point, all right? I'm sure the crossing guards are bored off their ass, but they don't start swinging their arms around and bringing cars in and pointing upwards.
Kevin Nealon
No, no, no, wait a minute. Have you seen their Chase Lounge? How much they decorate it? They've got flags sticking out of it.
Adam Carolla
I haven't seen that.
Kevin Nealon
They've got the pimped out Chase Lounge. They got the umbrella, the flags.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, they.
Kevin Nealon
No, they're bored too. They're bored too.
Adam Carolla
There's a nice little sign up on our message board here. The stores make them spin it to attract people. Thank you.
Giovanni
Wow.
Kevin Nealon
That's.
Brian Bishop
The eye goes.
Adam Carolla
I was all wrong. I didn't. I didn't know I had anything to do with that.
Kevin Nealon
But what a lot of people don't understand, what a lot of people don't know, is that those. Those sign spinners make over a hundred thousand dollars.
Adam Carolla
Oh, my God. Absolutely.
Kevin Nealon
Because they. These are the people that lost me $100,000 to do that.
Adam Carolla
And they do it.
Kevin Nealon
No, they do.
Giovanni
I call your bluff.
Adam Carolla
I lost my.
Brian Bishop
The liberty. Statue of Liberty now. And they have the tax sign. Do your taxes here. And they're dressed in costumes. Oh, they do that.
Adam Carolla
Yeah.
Kevin Nealon
When they had a dress in a costume on a hot day. Bad times. Whether it's a Tony the Tiger or the Statue.
Brian Bishop
Statue of Liberty's big.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, but how about when it's cold? I mean, we don't then go, wow, is that guy lucky. You know the down part about the costume? There's something called winter too, Kevin. And it gets cold outside.
Kevin Nealon
But this Statue of Liberty guy was not good because he kept switching the torch from one hand to the other.
Adam Carolla
Ah, yeah. You never see ladies do that.
Kevin Nealon
I think it's the right hand that she has. Right? At least it should be.
Adam Carolla
Well, you say over a hundred thousand dollars a year. Wow.
Kevin Nealon
It's a good pay.
Brian Bishop
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
I lost my first wife to a condo spinner.
Giovanni
Oh, my God.
Adam Carolla
She just wanted. You know, I was working in Radio. But I wasn't bringing home that kind of money.
Kevin Nealon
Adam, I have to be honest with you. I've got a science spinner.
Adam Carolla
Another one. Wow.
Kevin Nealon
But this is. This is for fabulous condos.
Adam Carolla
This guy's luxury. Luxury? Yeah.
Kevin Nealon
He also works at Statue of Liberty on the weekends.
Brian Bishop
Oh, he does.
Adam Carolla
He does the fast tax and the condos.
Kevin Nealon
He does all.
Adam Carolla
I think what's going on in our society is we. Our nerve receptacles are so burnt out. Like, the centers are so burnt out now with all the constant stream of everything, that we can no longer just drive and see a sign that says condo. Something. We need movement. We need something to pull us away because we're on a cell phone. We're driving in a car with the satellite radio and surround sound, and the air's blowing and the seats massaging and the steering wheel's got a warmer on it. That's why the terrorists hate us. This leather bound steering wheel, not good enough. I need one that heat radiates from. I love that fact that, you know what? I'm driving this Mercedes and I'm not comfortable. I feel like my hands can be 2 degrees warm. Warmer. Does anyone ever grab a big, fat leather steering wheel and go, wow, I am so miserable. My hand's gonna stick to this like a kid's tongue to a flagpole.
Kevin Nealon
I don't know if I ever told you this. When I first moved out here, I had a job working for Milt Freeman's car leasing company on Wilshire. And they delivered. They leased cars to the stars. And my job was to deliver the cars to their homes, pick them up and bring them to service stations and things like that. So I. I would deliver cars to, like, Barbra Streisand's house, Jerry Lewis, right? And then I got into these cars.
Adam Carolla
But how old were you?
Kevin Nealon
I was 23, 24.
Adam Carolla
Right. Now I never. 51. And from Crete, Barbara would be freaked out having to pull up her driveway. Right? That's my point.
Kevin Nealon
I would get into these, like, Stutzes, right? And Mercedes and Porsches that I, you know, I drove a 65 Chevelle Malibu all my life. You know, when I was a kid. Chevy. Yeah, yeah. And the steering thing would get stuck on the column.
Adam Carolla
Three on the tree.
Kevin Nealon
Three on the tree. And so I'm getting to these. And you smell that car, like, the leather and the wood and it's just so fine. And. And it's like getting into a cockpit of a jet, you know? You don't even know, is this the sticks Is this the gear shifter? And then you went back.
Adam Carolla
You had to go back to your Chevy?
Kevin Nealon
Yeah, and then I go back and. But. And then I'm getting into these cars that are like, you know, 100, $200,000 cars, and I'm like hung over a little bit because I'm 24 and I was drinking on the weekend and never had an accident, though. And never got to meet Barbra Streisand or Jerry Lewis. I always meet their assistants.
Adam Carolla
Right.
Kevin Nealon
You know, out in the driveway.
Adam Carolla
And that was Barbara, ironically. Was Barbara in Malibu?
Kevin Nealon
Barbara was. I think she was in Beverly Hills at the time.
Adam Carolla
Huh.
Kevin Nealon
And Mel Brooks was in Beverly Hills.
Adam Carolla
I was thinking of the Chevy Malibu and how no one in Malibu ever purchased a Chevy Malibu. No, it's not a Chevelle.
Kevin Nealon
It's not a Chevelle Malibu.
Adam Carolla
Chevy Malibu.
Kevin Nealon
Okay. You would know. You would know.
Adam Carolla
You know, even though you drove one for six years, I would know.
Kevin Nealon
Here's what I did. I tried to soup it up a little bit because the guys where I went to school, they had the jacked up cars with the white gas tanks, you know, the hemis and everything. This car, I didn't jack it up, but I painted the gas tank white. But nobody could see it unless I ran them over. And then also they had a paint that was supposed to simulate vinyl, like the dashboard, because it was a metal dashboard. So I sanded it down and I painted it with this black spray paint and it made the car look like it was burnt out in a fire.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, I wish there was, like, I've done a ton of that poor man, white trash, sort of cheap shit stuff in my life. And I just wish at some point before you embarked on those journeys that there was some cosmic force that would just tap you on the shoulder and go, kevin, put down the spray can. And you would listen to it, you know? But just all the waste of time, all the ideas, all the notions, all the things you're gonna do, like if someone had just tapped you on the shoulder, there should be some cosmic force. I guess that's what dads are for.
Kevin Nealon
Well, here's what my brother did. You'll appreciate this. He got a. It was a 19, I don't know, 62 Karmagua, something like that. And it was used and it was dented up. And he started out repairing the dents with Bondo.
Adam Carolla
It's kind of like putting clay inside the dents.
Kevin Nealon
It looks like clay, but it hardens really hard and it's heavy. And then he decided he was Going to cut out the headlights and dent them a little bit, you know. And then he started adding more and more Bondo to the car, trying to reshape it to make it look like it wasn't a Karma ghib. Put his fins on it. It sat in the garage for, like, 10 years. You know, boxes were starting to pile up. But he started adding more and more Bondo. It was almost like became just a mound of Bondo. We could have just filled up the garage with Bondo.
Adam Carolla
It was like Richard Dreyfuss in Close Encounters with Mashed Potatoes. He just started making a big Bondo pile in the kneeling garage.
Kevin Nealon
And the car must have weighed, you know, £5,000.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. Bondo. Not, you know, Bondo's sort of like. Sort of like eyeliner in moderation. It's a good thing. You don't want to go all David Bowie on everyone.
Brian Bishop
Yeah.
Kevin Nealon
How much does a car weigh, typically, a carbon Gigi? £5,000, I would say.
Adam Carolla
Carmen Ghia is about. Is probably 29, 28 to £3,000.
Kevin Nealon
All right, so this weighed probably about £30,000.
Adam Carolla
Wow. Is that a 2020? About £27,000 onto that?
Kevin Nealon
Yes. And I don't even know. I can't remember what became of the car. I think it got put in its landfill somewhere or mistaken as landfill.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, it's guys, like, once in a while, especially out here in Los Angeles, you'll see a guy and he's driving like a Nissan Sentra, but he put a BMW grill in the front of it, and he worked it out in such a way where it actually kind of works. But you realize that that took 250 hours of him in the garage of blending it in and cutting the metal back, welding the thing on. And he just took $2,000 off the price of his Nissan Sentra. Like, blue book on The Sentra is $6,000. Except for after the 200 man hours you put into it, it's now worth $3,000.
Kevin Nealon
Yeah. Yeah.
Adam Carolla
You know, it's not like you get paid back. A bone stock Carmen Ghia would be worth much more than the one your brother put his heart and soul and half his life into. Right.
Kevin Nealon
My brother's always had the worst cars. My brother picked me up from the airport a couple months ago. And when you have seagull crap on your dashboard, on the dash, on the dash, and it's not a convertible, and you don't live near the ocean, you.
Giovanni
Know, to get a new car, that's a CSI episode.
Adam Carolla
Wow.
Kevin Nealon
But you have a good Eye for. For cars. I mean, you can look. You find stuff like that. I'll look at a car and I'll think, wow, this car is. Man, this is an expensive hot car. And it turns out to be like the body on a Volkswagen chassis. You know, the kits. Yeah, like that. Yeah, I fall for that stuff. I'll see like. Oh, that's a Cobra, I think.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. But here's the whole thing about a Cobra. If you see it driving down the street, it's probably not a Cobra.
Kevin Nealon
Really?
Adam Carolla
That's kind of how you. Yeah, you want to know the garage.
Brian Bishop
Okay. Yeah, yeah.
Adam Carolla
If you see one, it's. There's a good chance it's not one because you. There's not many of those around. I want to try taking a phone.
Kevin Nealon
Call would be stupid not to.
Adam Carolla
Somebody has a question for Paul Bryant, I think. Andrew. Andrew.
Kevin Nealon
Andrew from New York. Andrew, you're 22. Andrew's been there a long time.
Adam Carolla
Oh, Andrew. Hello, Andrew. You have a question for bald Brian?
Caller
Yeah, how you doing? Actually, I was just. When you weren't here before, Ace man, I just wanted to call and get on, but Brian, Susan, my condolences on your various onuses and.
Kevin Nealon
Oh, well, thanks, Andrew.
Brian Bishop
Thanks for validating me.
Caller
Kevin and Ace man, you're both comedy legends, I think. Living legend.
Adam Carolla
That's funny, isn't it? And yeah, I just wanted to like.
Caller
A made up movie for you guys possibly.
Adam Carolla
You got a made up movie for us?
Caller
Yeah, I mean, I know you guys already have the. The gay eye and just one of the gays.
Adam Carolla
Yeah.
Caller
And I thought of an idea called for a movie called in the Gaby. Maybe you guys could.
Adam Carolla
All right.
Caller
Kind of like the same idea as just one of the gays, except I don't know, we go to war with China or something crazy like that and they reinstitute the draft. But you know, everyone's homophobic still, so.
Kevin Nealon
What are you smoking?
Caller
I don't even want any gay guys in the navy. Army would have.
Adam Carolla
I see Tracy Morgan playing the lead in this.
Caller
Yeah, maybe.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. And he's trying to get like, get.
Caller
Shia LaBeouf or I don't know who's another actor like that.
Adam Carolla
Well, Morgan and are like the same guy, so I don't think.
Kevin Nealon
I'd like to see Morgan Freeman as a. As his father.
Adam Carolla
I'd like Morgan Le Buff to be.
Giovanni
That is a gay porn name right there.
Adam Carolla
Morgan LaBeouf.
Kevin Nealon
Wow.
Adam Carolla
Awesome that he hung out so long for that. Someone wants to know if we have any expensive watches.
Giovanni
You're Wearing a very blingy watch right now. Susan?
Adam Carolla
Yes.
Brian Bishop
I got this for Christmas and it has not worked since I got it.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, I got the same.
Kevin Nealon
Yeah, we talked about collecting before. It's a nice place to collect stuff, but watches are one of those things that you can really start collecting.
Adam Carolla
I had a nice watch and the pizza man stole it.
Kevin Nealon
He did.
Giovanni
The 40 year old from Creek.
Adam Carolla
I. I've never owned a decent watch in my life. But I. I was thumbing through a magazine a couple years back.
Brian Bishop
Sky miles.
Adam Carolla
Picture of one. Yeah, it's like one. Yeah, something like that. Or it was at least on a plane. I. I know because Kevin was doing his fake pilot voice. I remember that.
Kevin Nealon
Like to ask Adam to sit down or row seven, please. Making an approach into Cincinnati.
Adam Carolla
That's what it was.
Brian Bishop
So you bought a watch?
Adam Carolla
I found a watch I liked. I actually tore out like the page that it was on and I brought it home and I think my wife bought it for me for. For Christmas. But I bought it for me because she didn't make any money. So, you know, you know, it's uncomfortable. But let's, let's call it. Let's be honest here. Right? So.
Kevin Nealon
But it's always a. You're already a crotchety old man.
Adam Carolla
I mean, but it's not, you know, look, she could buy me whatever, whenever. Why wait for Christmas? But if it's my money, it just takes a little some of it.
Kevin Nealon
But.
Adam Carolla
All right, so.
Kevin Nealon
But it's not your money when you get married.
Adam Carolla
Oh, it's half her money. I forgot about that. Okay, so she bought me the watch that I wanted and I loved it. But then I realized it's not a self winder. It doesn't take a battery. You have to wear it every day. And you have to wear it like. Oh, you have to.
Kevin Nealon
You gotta dance a jitterbug.
Adam Carolla
You have to attach yourself to a paint can shaker for an hour a day. Or be like Minnie McCready after going to an epileptic seizure. And so it's too nice to watch. And I'm not even a watch guy anyway, I just thought it'd be cool to have it for occasion. So I thought, I'm not gonna wear this every day. But then I never want to wear it. Because every wearing involves setting it and then standing around like you're having a seizure and start spinning the condo sign. Those guys. Wait a minute. I should pull up to one of those guys. What makes it Mexican bad.
Brian Bishop
Where's my watch?
Adam Carolla
Put on this watch back in an hour it'll be charged for the next millennium, so. And also I was a little pissed at the fact that this is like a 5, $6,000 watch. It's an expensive watch that when I said, you know what, I'll just wear it, you know, I went out of town or something, I put it on every day. It was stopped in between days too. Like, Jesus, shit, put a goddamn battery in this thing. Like stop out. I hate it when expensive starts getting too smart for their own good. Like, I don't care if it's the same fucking technology a Timex has in it. If it works, it works. Put the goddamn battery in it. I'll change it every five years. I'll be fine this way. Unusable. Except for you can buy something out of the sky mall as well, which is this little device that actually swirls it around.
Brian Bishop
Okay. I would like that for Easter. Can I have that?
Kevin Nealon
It's really.
Adam Carolla
It's like something. It's like something out of the sky mall that would drive your car in a circle twice, twice a week for no reason.
Kevin Nealon
Maybe the self winding watch is designed for somebody that's more active than you are.
Adam Carolla
It's definitely designed for the guy who wears it. Moves around once every six months. Aren't you curious of this guy from Moscow called Isn't that weird? Where is he? That was the one you're talking about, the watch. Oh. Oh. I didn't even punch him up. Going on in Moscow, worried about Americans. Well, Mikel. Michael. Michael made him a. I gave him. I gave him a Moscone name.
Brian Bishop
Da.
Adam Carolla
What's happening, Michael? Well, that was actually my question. I was just listening to you guys on the Internet. I was gonna. I was gonna ask about getting a watch, but I guess. Great to be on the air with you guys. Kevin Nealon, big fan of Weeds. I'm halfway through season four right now.
Kevin Nealon
So am I.
Adam Carolla
Every time you're on the last year, it's a better show. And Adam, and you know, you're amazing, but thanks. Yeah, no, I just got a bonus from my work and I was looking at getting, you know, buying myself a.
Caller
Little something to kind of a present for myself.
Adam Carolla
And I wanted to know, you know, you said the watch was worth five or six grand.
Caller
I was just wondering maybe what was.
Adam Carolla
The one that you ended up picking out and whatever happened to it? All right, well, number one, the pizza guy. No, I still have it. And number two, I don't know the name of it because I don't sweat the details. And as I've said to my wife, look, I may not be interested in your life, but I'm not interested in my life either.
Kevin Nealon
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
You know what I mean? So it kind of evens out.
Giovanni
You're not playing favorites.
Adam Carolla
I don't.
Kevin Nealon
Here's what I think about watches.
Brian Bishop
You like that one?
Kevin Nealon
I like this watch. My wife Suzanne got this to me. Susan or Susan?
Brian Bishop
Yeah.
Kevin Nealon
Penelope. I think the Tag Heuers are a nice watch. It's a middle price, expensive watch. It's not like a real expensive watch that people can go, oh, yeah, you just flaunting.
Adam Carolla
Well, I used to have the Tag Heuer and until Tiger stopped fucking all those chicks. And I was like, I don't want to do with this anymore. It's kind of the opposite.
Kevin Nealon
He was not a role model anymore for you.
Adam Carolla
Right. While he was hostesses from TGI Fridays, I was really into the tag Horror thing. So as soon as I found out about his fest, I went out and got a tag horror thing. And then I found out he went to rehab. And I was like, you know what? I just. I don't. I'm not feeling it.
Kevin Nealon
I was wondering what that little counter was on the Tag Horror.
Adam Carolla
That's what it's for.
Kevin Nealon
Is that for your.
Adam Carolla
How many floozies? You know?
Kevin Nealon
Okay, now that makes sense now.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, that's great. Yeah. So that, that was my. I. I guess I did the opposite of Madison Avenue with Tiger. When he stopped fucking, that's when I got off the.
Kevin Nealon
Here's the watch. Here's the watch I used to like to have a lot. The digital watch. You know, where you have the stopwatch on it.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, that.
Kevin Nealon
You got to be careful because that's addictive. I was starting to time everything. I was like timing like airplane rise when I thought it was going to touch down. Like I said wheels left, I go boom. I was timing, like everything.
Adam Carolla
Well, I remember you at a certain point, had to get a second watch to find out how long it would take you to time something.
Kevin Nealon
Exactly.
Adam Carolla
And I remember that one.
Kevin Nealon
Yeah, I had one wrist and one on the other wrist. By the way, we were talking about this before we got here. These are no complaining bracelets.
Adam Carolla
Oh, really?
Brian Bishop
It says it's a complaint free world. And if you complain, you have to move it to the other wrist. And the goal is to do 21 days without complaining.
Adam Carolla
Oh, really?
Brian Bishop
But giving feedback. Giving feedback is not complaining. So if I said, you know, the couch is orange, that's not complaining. Oh, I hate orange. Then I have to move it to the other wrist.
Adam Carolla
Oh, really? Wow.
Brian Bishop
So we've been doing on with each other.
Adam Carolla
It's kind of. Well, it's like that factory that has the, you know, 21 days since last accident kind of thing. I mean, it's sort of the personal equivalent to that. Right.
Kevin Nealon
I personally don't think the sacrifice of moving from one wrist to the other is that big a deal. It should be more of a big. A bigger, you know, inconvenience.
Adam Carolla
Oh, why? I got a plan. While it's on the way to the other wrist, you put it around your balls one time on the way. As long as you. If you think about it, put your hands by your side. Your balls are really the sort of Mason Dixon line between your two wrists. One snap and then onto the other wrist.
Kevin Nealon
Sounds good, but some people might like that.
Adam Carolla
Well, but as long as you don't. I would definitely. I would eliminate the guys who enjoy that for those be no ball snapping.
Giovanni
Right.
Adam Carolla
And it'd be just as upsetting to them.
Kevin Nealon
And that'd be tough to come off of that without complaining. Off of the ball snap.
Adam Carolla
Yeah.
Kevin Nealon
You know, I like that.
Adam Carolla
I do complain about a lot of things, but what about up on stage? You can complain up on stage, right?
Kevin Nealon
No complaining anywhere. You could. You could. If you're not complaining, then you should be changing your attitude or. What was the other thing?
Brian Bishop
It's on our refrigerator.
Adam Carolla
It's on your fridge. You guys couldn't just settle on some Lance Armstrong liftstrong ones all the life? You had to get the weird purple.
Kevin Nealon
These are complain strongs.
Brian Bishop
It's just a little family. It's a little family thing. We're doing this family challenge we're doing.
Giovanni
We thought that Adam earlier, if we. If we give one to you, it would. It would burn you the same way like a poly water would burn a vampire.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, it would start smoking off your wrist. That's true.
Kevin Nealon
See, this is not complaining. You go, oh, yeah, that's the beginning complaining. But if you don't follow with anything. I don't think that's complaining.
Adam Carolla
That's not considered complaining. I got more questions. Sorry, I'm not stimulating Michael from Moscow. I want to know what he's doing there. Michael, I don't know if I can get him on the line. You hear me, Michael, did you see 60 Minutes last weekend? I don't know if I caught it last weekend. I try and watch it online when I can. All right. Because the guy is pretty much. Yes or no. But there's a guy from Moscow Russian businessman who's going to buy the New Jersey Nets, and it's going to be like, the first, I don't know, foreign owner of American franchise.
Kevin Nealon
He's changing the name to the New Jersey Nets.
Adam Carolla
Yes. Yes.
Kevin Nealon
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
What's that? Is that the guy that owns a Chelsea soccer team in England? I don't. I don't think it's. That guy made his money in precious metals, right? I'd like to get in the metal business because the people, precious metal guys, seem to be rich, and the guys who do tin and unprecious metals seem to be rich, too. And I feel like I'd fall somewhere in between those guys. When the guys on the low end, the guys making the tin, tin foil, are rich, and the guys making the fillings are rich, I feel like that's pretty good business to get in. You know, I was gonna tell my kid to be either an airline pilot or a pizza guy. I'm gonna tell him to get into precious or unprecious. You know, get in a medal.
Kevin Nealon
Hey. Her sister has gold parties.
Adam Carolla
She's made a fortune off a gold party.
Brian Bishop
She goes to people's home. She flies to New York once a month. Ladies get together with their gold from the 80s, the big medallions, their rings and necklaces. She takes it, goes straight, mails it to the distillery.
Kevin Nealon
She's like, a course, didn't she? Or somebody.
Adam Carolla
Prison guard. That's awesome.
Kevin Nealon
No, they get teeth with gold in them.
Adam Carolla
That's what I'm saying.
Brian Bishop
They'll hand her like they'll hand her teeth. She'll go to old churches in the country in Georgia, and they'll go to take a safe filled with men's white socks that are filled with gold bars, and she'll give them 35,000 cash.
Adam Carolla
What the hell is this?
Brian Bishop
And she'll get to keep half of it. It's incredible. She's raking it in.
Adam Carolla
All right, we got to get into this now, Michael. Yeah. All right. What are you doing in Moscow? I actually played professional hockey over here. Oh. What time is it over there? What day is it, for that matter?
Caller
It's 1:00am on Wednesday morning.
Adam Carolla
Wow. Good times.
Kevin Nealon
What do you play for?
Adam Carolla
I actually play for the Red Wings. Internal Affairs. It's a police team called the khl. They bring a ringer in from the United States to play hockey. I'm from Canada, actually. Oh. All right. Get out of here and enjoy. And what do we need to know about Russia? How's it. How's it going? How's Moscow right now? Is it good? Is it scary? Did you watch the news yesterday?
Kevin Nealon
Yes. The bombing and the subways.
Adam Carolla
Oh, there's a subway?
Kevin Nealon
Suicide bombings.
Adam Carolla
That's why I don't like the sandwich chain. Was it the sandwich chain? Because I'd be alright with that. I don't like those sandwiches. How many people died?
Caller
I think 39.
Adam Carolla
Wow. And who did the bombing? It was two women, actually. Suicide bombers from Chechnya. Muslim extremists. What? You rarely hear about those people.
Kevin Nealon
See at the time, those female suicide bombers during their pm.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, I guess they got a group they've done the last 10 years. They're called the Black Widows. Wow. Strong. I don't know. They had some war in the 90s and all their husbands got killed. And then they're.
Kevin Nealon
Why wait so long?
Adam Carolla
Movie. Yeah, they. They should have waited. All right. Hey, thanks, Michael. Don't ride the subway. Yeah, no kidding. Hey, thanks for taking my call. Good times. Bye. All right. Wow. That's horrible. I was gone all day. I didn't. I watched two hours of Dancing with Stars but have time for nonsense like the news. Now I want to talk about your sister, the gold hunter.
Brian Bishop
The gold Carter.
Adam Carolla
It's like Nick Cage from that movie. Yeah, yeah, And I've seen those commercials and I've seen people, you know, times are tough and people are sort of cashing out a little bit.
Kevin Nealon
But how does it work?
Adam Carolla
She shows up to your house, pair of pliers and starts going through mouth.
Brian Bishop
Well, she finds someone to host a gold party. So a chick will call all her friends, they have a nice lasagna, some wine. People bring their gold over. My sister has her scale with her little glasses and she makes sure it's real. She buys it from people, gives them cash. Right. At the gold party, she does a.
Adam Carolla
Little chemical test right there.
Brian Bishop
Yeah, she can do all of it.
Adam Carolla
She bites it like a plug nickel or something like that.
Brian Bishop
I'm not sure. I've never been with her to a party, but apparently it's pretty easy. She buys the gold, gives them cash.
Kevin Nealon
Brings a security guard with her.
Brian Bishop
Yeah, she has guards that travel with her. And so I won't give her name.
Kevin Nealon
Then to Puerto Rico.
Adam Carolla
How much cash does she show up with on something like that?
Kevin Nealon
What's her bank?
Brian Bishop
I would say 20 to 40.
Giovanni
What's her role?
Adam Carolla
Wow.
Brian Bishop
And that would be Thousand Adam.
Adam Carolla
Oh. Oh. Because I say I got that on me, but 20, $40,000. Wow, that's like.
Giovanni
Does the guard do the awesome thing?
Adam Carolla
Five watches for me. So what are the briefcases?
Brian Bishop
But she has guards with guns and everything, so she's really well.
Adam Carolla
But not when she's just throwing the party. Right?
Brian Bishop
They go with her to the party because you never know. She doesn't advertise the party parties. It's all friends that host at someone's house in the suburbs.
Adam Carolla
The word could get out that there's a lot of gold showing up or.
Brian Bishop
A lot of cash that's going to be at the party.
Adam Carolla
Well, actually, it would be cash and gold.
Brian Bishop
Cash and gold and lasagna.
Kevin Nealon
Some people just want the lasagna garbage.
Adam Carolla
I definitely wouldn't leave without it. I would come for the cash, stay for the gold, and leave with the lasagna. That's how I rob things.
Brian Bishop
But she's a mom and she's got a couple kids and she loves doing this because it's one day a week or two days a week, and it's so easy. And it's a party with friends.
Adam Carolla
And what's. What's the vig? What? She gets 50%.
Brian Bishop
Oh, at least, huh?
Adam Carolla
At least.
Brian Bishop
And there's no middleman. She always tells people, if you. You think you can get more for that ring, go to any pawn shop in the world. They will not give you what I'll give you. Because they have.
Adam Carolla
Wouldn't that take a long time? I mean, they have to go to every pawn shop in the world.
Brian Bishop
I'll tell her before she got bad.
Adam Carolla
Tell her, stop saying that. Because nine years later, a disheveled person shows up and goes, why couldn't you say North America? But so she goes to churches. She goes to other places like that, and they have stuff stashed all over the place.
Brian Bishop
Yeah, because people will die and they'll give to the church in their will gold. And the churches will keep it in the basement.
Adam Carolla
And doesn't. But also, does she like people? No. Like, so someone so shows up to the party and gold right now is trading for $379 an ounce or whatever it is. I don't know what it is. But your. But your sister offers her. Offers the person $180 an ounce. Right?
Brian Bishop
Or, well, we could call her. I don't know what she's. What she's offering.
Adam Carolla
It's got to be off the. Whatever it's waiting for. Right? And then she says, the person says, hey, it's 400 bucks an ounce and you're giving me 200 bucks an ounce. And she says, good luck going to a pawn shop because you get 100 bucks an ounce and probably get robbed.
Brian Bishop
Right.
Adam Carolla
But you'll see some cool tools and.
Brian Bishop
Guitars, but you'll get no snacks.
Kevin Nealon
It's a great thing. They got all liquored up at these parties and then, you know, you start throwing your gold around. It's like. It's the modern wedding brand.
Adam Carolla
Right, Right.
Brian Bishop
Look, it's the modern day Tupperware part.
Adam Carolla
Right? Right.
Brian Bishop
That's basically what it is. It's not Tupperware anymore. It's gold parties.
Adam Carolla
And she's making good bank.
Brian Bishop
Excellent.
Adam Carolla
And now she's traveling. She's going out the country.
Brian Bishop
She did go down, what was it? Puerto Rico. Huh. But mostly it's New York. Now she flies from Atlanta to New York and does it. She pays all of her taxes. So this is completely above board.
Adam Carolla
I wouldn't. Yeah. Why is she paying her taxes?
Kevin Nealon
Well, only if it's. If it's cash. She doesn't.
Adam Carolla
Right. See, he does care.
Kevin Nealon
But she said that she. Somebody gave her a tooth that had a gold filling and it was from the great grandfather or something. And usually they go to crack it and it cracks, but this one just pilfered into dust and the gold came out. Yeah. Just. And there's dust. Tooth dust flying everywhere.
Adam Carolla
Oh, you inhale the tooth dust.
Kevin Nealon
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
It'd be fun if you got a cavity from inhaling tooth dust. So she has to go literally extract the gold from the.
Kevin Nealon
That was. Occasions.
Adam Carolla
Well, she has. It's.
Brian Bishop
Yeah. It's rare that people bring that, but she does have, you know, gloves and she has the, you know, all about tools. She has the right pliers yet to do it. And she rings a bell and people are so excited and she's helping people. There's a woman who couldn't afford tires for a car. And so my sister gave her $300 and she felt bad for her, so she gave her like 350. She rings a bell and says, you're getting 350. And the woman started crying. She said, I can go get tires. I'm so excited. So she's doing. Doing her part in this.
Adam Carolla
Really doing the large work.
Kevin Nealon
She started off doing constant jewelry.
Adam Carolla
Let's start with constantly.
Kevin Nealon
She would fly to Puerto Rico and lose a lot of money.
Adam Carolla
Yeah.
Brian Bishop
Non precious metals.
Kevin Nealon
Yeah. But it had to be classic.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. You're dealing with pyrite. Probably not a great plan. I think that's fool's gold. The point is this. I'm trying to think of the thing that comes out of the earth that doesn't go back into the earth. Less than gold. Like, you know, you think about certain things, like water. You know, it rains, it goes down and then comes back up. You drink it, then you pee, and it goes back down again. And there's certain stuff you sort of pull out of it, you know, like wood. Wood gets used and it gets burned, and then it goes kind of goes back into the earth. Gold, it almost never goes back anywhere. Like, I don't know what percentage, you know, for every hundred pounds we've taken out in the last 200 years, there must be 99 pounds of that. 99.9 pounds of that crap floating around. Right? Well, even with electronics and stuff, now it's all getting recycled. Oh, you gotta get your sister into that electronics. Well, there's all this recycling going on where all these precious metals are being used and all these computers and blah, blah, blah. It's like a whole different. It's a whole different type of recycling. Does she is your sister. What was her job before this?
Brian Bishop
Stay at home, mom.
Adam Carolla
Stay at home, mom.
Brian Bishop
Oh, man, she's been doing for years.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, I know. My wife's the same way. I mean, stay in the yard, mom. I like her outside, but I want to keep her just while I'm out. I don't know when Olga's there. She come in once. Once I come home.
Kevin Nealon
I think gold is going back into the ground, too. Like, if you have fillings that are gold, when you were buried. When you're buried. And back in the Egyptian days, a lot of the pharaohs had a lot of gold put with them.
Adam Carolla
Yeah.
Kevin Nealon
So a lot of that back then would go, well, that's true.
Adam Carolla
But then. But then, you know, the tomb raiders would hit it. Yeah. By the way, that's good. And they get cursed or they get. They get the curse.
Kevin Nealon
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Adam Carolla
They always do that thing. I don't know. Like, I'm not suspicious, but I wouldn't raid a tomb.
Brian Bishop
No, no, no, I wouldn't.
Adam Carolla
I'm more of a panty raider. I feel like that's where my expertise is.
Kevin Nealon
If I was gonna rate it to him, here's how I would do it. Just like I was busting a party. If I was crashing a party, I would back into the entrance with a drink. A martini. Very, very discreet.
Adam Carolla
Filling it all the way on the white carpet. Come on. I brought it up.
Kevin Nealon
I would just keep walking back through the tunnels until I got to the goods, to the treasure, and then be.
Adam Carolla
Like, hey, what am I doing here?
Kevin Nealon
Yeah, what am I doing here? I'll grab my handful and then walk out with A martini.
Adam Carolla
I would do it like I do the hostage negotiation, which I would send over a couple pizzas, you know, to appease the gods. Yeah. And then, you know, if they didn't eat it, it'd be. It'd be there for me.
Kevin Nealon
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
You know.
Kevin Nealon
You guys like pizza, don't you?
Adam Carolla
Well, I mean, look, when they do the, you know, they give them like, you know, frankincense or whatever. Whatever. Whatever they give to the gods. I feel like a pizza. If I was a God, the pizza be a little higher up on. On. On the list of things to receive. That's all I'm saying.
Kevin Nealon
Yeah. You would have to make it on pita bread.
Adam Carolla
Yeah.
Kevin Nealon
Back then.
Adam Carolla
Oh, yeah.
Kevin Nealon
Are you a thick. Are you a thick pizza?
Adam Carolla
No. Are you a thin crust, thin New York style?
Kevin Nealon
No. Chicago.
Adam Carolla
Well, let me say this careful.
Giovanni
Wristband, Adam, the wristband.
Adam Carolla
I'm not complaining. I'm just saying the pizza is a good metaphor for life, which is. I will do a metaphor on this metaphor, which is, I believe in life you should either be, and I take this to my comedy stylings as well, either be up on the beach where it's safe and you're dry, or be out past the breakwater. But the in between areas where you get sort of pummeled in life, sort of staying kind of half assing it, you know, it's like as a. Applies to comedy where you go, I want to do a edgy, different kind of something that's not out there. I'm doing a sitcom that no one's seen before. And then you start watering it down and watering it down and watering down. Before you know it, you'd be better off just doing Two and a Half Men or just doing Curb youb Enthusiasm. But instead, you have a watered down version of an edgy comedy. And you're in the breakwater now. You're getting pummeled. And when it comes to pizza, thin crust, New York style, where you just taco in half and slide it in your mouth, that little weird little. That little bloody discharge kind of grease comes off the thing.
Brian Bishop
Oh, you must be a father.
Adam Carolla
Love that. Love that. Yeah. Oh, that's where I would get it. At Manny's famous bloody, bloody discharge cheese. Or you go Geno's east. You go, nice thick crust pizza. But what you don't want is the shitty medium pizza. The doughy, chewy Cutty. Yeah, it's medium crust, thick crust. Geno's Ease fine. Thin crust, New York style, fine. But we offer in between and all the Shitty pizza joints do the same thing. It's the Domino's and. Well, actually, Shakey's is thin. I like shaky's, but I know it sounds bizarre, but they all offer that in between chewy, doughy, and it's no good. I'd say either be out in the breakwater, past the breakwater with the thick crust, or on the the beach with me enjoying a nice thin slice.
Brian Bishop
I'm on the beach.
Adam Carolla
You're on the beach. Good.
Brian Bishop
Yep. On the beach, Kevin.
Adam Carolla
On the beach.
Kevin Nealon
I'm totally on the beach. But I occasionally go out there, break water to mix it up a little.
Adam Carolla
Bit before we're talking about pizza.
Kevin Nealon
Oh, I'm sorry.
Adam Carolla
No, no.
Kevin Nealon
Oh, I'm sorry. Yeah. On the beach. On the beach.
Adam Carolla
All right.
Kevin Nealon
I was looking. I was digging up a picture of this new character I'm playing. Take a look.
Adam Carolla
Wow.
Kevin Nealon
Too much plastic surgery.
Adam Carolla
Wow. Three hours of looking at a crazy picture. Kevin. Neal, what is that for?
Kevin Nealon
It's for this new Adam Sandler film I play. Adon is my name and I've had too much plastic surgery, but I like it. What is Heidi Meintag is my wife.
Adam Carolla
Oh, perfect.
Kevin Nealon
And it's with Jennifer Aniston and. And that is a creepy Nicole Kidman.
Adam Carolla
Wow. When is that coming out?
Kevin Nealon
Just go for it. AKA the pretend wife. Next year sometimes.
Adam Carolla
Wow, that's a crazy picture.
Giovanni
Yeah, it's like Willem Dafoe and.
Adam Carolla
And Wayne Newton. Wayne Newton.
Kevin Nealon
Joker.
Adam Carolla
Sigmund Freud or enough Sigmund Freud. Sigmund. Sigmund and stuff. We're sigfring.
Anderson
Right.
Adam Carolla
Officially losing it now. All right, should we take ourselves a little extended break? Why don't we give a little shout out? I mean, Facebook or something?
Kevin Nealon
Well, you know, I get the friends of Big Joe this Thursday with Howie Mandel at the Comedy Magic Club.
Adam Carolla
How's that going?
Kevin Nealon
Yeah, it's going good.
Adam Carolla
You've done a series of these, right?
Kevin Nealon
We have done a series. This is the last one for now. We may do a couple more down the road.
Adam Carolla
How much have you raised? We don't.
Kevin Nealon
Over a hundred dollars.
Adam Carolla
Over a hundred dollars.
Kevin Nealon
Wow.
Adam Carolla
Wow.
Kevin Nealon
Yeah, I'm not sure how much we've raised.
Giovanni
That's pretty good advertisement.
Kevin Nealon
It's like the report card. I hate to look. Right, sure.
Adam Carolla
But. But everything.
Kevin Nealon
I think it's going well.
Adam Carolla
People get huge dames in there.
Kevin Nealon
We had Roseanne down there last week and Gary Shandling and Sarah Silverman on the same night.
Adam Carolla
What's Roseanne doing? Rosanne being funny.
Kevin Nealon
She was hilarious.
Brian Bishop
So good.
Adam Carolla
Was she doing stand up? Yeah.
Kevin Nealon
Yeah, she did stand up.
Anderson
Wow.
Kevin Nealon
But she said one of her jokes was really funny. She goes, you know, it's tough getting old. You know, you dry in all the places you should be wet, and you're wet in all the places you should be dry.
Adam Carolla
That is funny.
Kevin Nealon
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. All right, so that is this. That's what help. Yeah.
Kevin Nealon
People can go to friends@bigjoe.com to get more information and get tickets and things like that.
Adam Carolla
Friends@bigjoe.com and ball. Brian.
Giovanni
I'm on Twitter. I'm Ballbrian. Follow me.
Adam Carolla
And you can see me at the Brea Improv tonight. And then we'll be out.
Kevin Nealon
Of course, Susan. A Thousand Oaks are going to be. I saw that on the thing.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. And Susan. Yeah.
Giovanni
Suzanne.
Brian Bishop
Oh, yes. Let's see. Parks and Recreation.
Adam Carolla
Oh, oh.
Brian Bishop
Talking about stuff on my. Oh, oh, oh, oh, no, my Twitter.
Kevin Nealon
Oh, yeah. Your Twitter address. Sukiyakely@suki.s U K I, Y, E A G, L, E, Y. But also Parks and Recreation.
Adam Carolla
Oh, we're looking for that. So until next time, Adam Croll for Kevin Nealon. Susan Nealon.
Brian Bishop
Sure.
Adam Carolla
Suzanne Nealon and Paul Nealon.
Giovanni
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
Mahalo. All right. Welcome, Anderson. And welcome Bald Brian. Now, you know them from the Film Vault show, which is also on our network. And now they're on my show, although I thought I was on their show. A little confusion with Donnie and scheduling. We just argued over it. Maybe we'll air it because it was a funny argument with Donnie, but also Donnie, ever notice a lot of confusion around your conversations and not so much other people's? That would be an interesting way to approach things.
Giovanni
I like to feel the audience is confused right now.
Adam Carolla
All right, we'll air it. It'll be. It'll be clear. I think. I think Anderson got a little uncomfortable with all that or. Or he was getting jealous. He's talking you're not a love line all the time.
Giovanni
I think Anderson is liberated by the fact that he can say the F word.
Anderson
Yeah, no, I try not to cuss talking to no Mike.
Adam Carolla
You know, now that we're on the Adam Crawl podcast, let's get to the film.
Anderson
This is the Adam Carolla podcast.
Adam Carolla
Yes.
Anderson
I thought we were on the phone ball right now.
Adam Carolla
That's what I'm going to talk about. The Film Vault that's going to premiere on the ACE Broadcasting Top five most.
Giovanni
Uncomfortable moments in this studio.
Anderson
That number one. Well, I mean, we've only been around for four or five weeks. Actually. We've just been hanging around. We haven't actually done a show.
Giovanni
Right.
Anderson
Our show starts tomorrow.
Kevin Nealon
Tomorrow.
Giovanni
Show launches tomorrow.
Adam Carolla
That's when it premieres. Because this is. Well, what day is it now, then?
Giovanni
Today's second. Today's Thursday. Tomorrow's Friday.
Adam Carolla
Ah, that's how it's gonna work.
Giovanni
I've just returned from Italy, and, man, am I arms tired.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. All right. So you want to talk films?
Giovanni
Well, the reason I brought up top five instead of top five most uncomfortable moments is because every episode, our hook, our gimmick, if you will. We do a top five gimmick. Nah, whatever. It's our thing. We do a top five in different categories. So we sort of shape the episode around that. So tomorrow, our debut episode, we're doing our top five most anticipated film for the summer. Something like a summer preview of him.
Anderson
Usually we reach farther back, though. We talk about film. Like top five buddy films, top five war films, top five sports films, top five remakes, top five sequels.
Adam Carolla
And so what is your top five most anticipated? We don't want to spoil that.
Giovanni
But it's a rare top five because we're looking forward.
Adam Carolla
Transformers coming out again. If only.
Anderson
Good question.
Giovanni
If only.
Adam Carolla
I feel like, is there any. Any need for Transformers 3? I know they're doing it, but didn't people kind of lose momentum on two?
Giovanni
I got two and a half, three hours, so, yeah, there's a need.
Anderson
So Ryan will be masturbating until it in the theater.
Adam Carolla
Why don't I don't do it in the theater? Why don't you at least? Well, that's why the floors are slaying it that way.
Kevin Nealon
Thank you.
Adam Carolla
As long as you're not a little.
Anderson
Bit our show, though. We were doing it on and off for like eight, nine years now. Unbelievably, we've actually, at one point, we made, I think, $3 an episode doing it on 97 1.
Giovanni
At one point, on their free 2.
Anderson
HD channel, a fan picked up a website and started just podcasting us for free. Free. Because he liked the show that much out of Ireland. Thank you, Stephen, for that. And now here we are with you. Thank you very much, Adam, for having us.
Adam Carolla
Well, it's my pleasure. I had no idea I was doing this. Which is another conversation we'll have at some point.
Anderson
No, I'm just saying thank you about having our show yours. I'm not talking about us being a guest per or you being a guest. I have no clue what's going on there.
Adam Carolla
No problem at all. And I'll Take.
Anderson
It was fun watching you yell at someone other than me, though, I gotta tell you that.
Adam Carolla
Well, Donnie. Donnie communicates, and then he lies is basically what happens. He doesn't call himself a liar.
Anderson
I like that, Donnie.
Adam Carolla
He lies by sort of. I do not ever, ever, ever lie, Donnie.
Anderson
I'm telling you, Donnie, it's a misplaced anger. He wants to yell at me, but he knows it's wrong because I'm his guest.
Adam Carolla
So I only yell at those top five lives. Deserve it. Now, here's how Donnie lies without lying. We were arguing over whether he ever asked me to be on your show.
Anderson
We sat down, and Adam thought that we doing an episode of the Film Ball right now, and he was a guest on. On our show, as opposed to us being a guest on his show. And for 30 minutes of anger and.
Adam Carolla
Suit for the last last week, and maybe even a little before that, Donnie said, can you go on the Film Vault? Right. I'm not 100% sure because it's been so long. I said, well, you're not 100% sure. I'm sure when you said, can we explain that this is the launching of the Film Film Vault? Did you ever want me to be a guest on their show last night? Not last night. Last night. I don't want to talk about last night. Did you. Did you ever want me to be a guest on their show so I can find out how deep this miscommunication runs? Did you ever want me to be. No. Not a guest. You never wanted me to be a guest on the Film Vault? No. Okay, so now. Now, there might have been a miscommunication last night. No, not about. I don't. I don't want to talk about last night. I just want to. And, Donnie, I understand we have to say everything three times because of our past and the crazy miscommunications we have.
Anderson
Say five times for the sake of the top five.
Adam Carolla
Yeah.
Giovanni
Like the Boy Mary.
Adam Carolla
Five times. You. I'm gonna be careful. The words I choose. You never wanted me to be a guest or a part of their program? No. Never. Never. I don't know what was recited in the week or week and a half of trying to set this up. Oh, okay. So all last week, when you were saying, they're doing the Film Vault, can you come on? Can you come on the Film Vault? You didn't mean can I be a guest on the Film Vault? You meant, can the Film Vault be a guest on my show? Did I ever say, this is for the launch of the Film Vault on The Ace Broadcasting Network. Yeah. You acted like you wanted me to be a good guests on their show for their first show. Listen, can you do the Film Vault? You were saying, can you do the Film Vault? For the launch? Yes. So that means you're asking if I can be a guest on the Film Vault. Not if they can be. I'm sure I explained. They've already pre recorded four shows. Explain something. I'm sure I explained. Wait. Never drawn through with me. I'm being. I'm being very selfish right now. This is the Film Vault. Amount of time and it took us a week and a half to get this book. All right, all right. So let's move forward on that. And you and I promise we'll argue later, okay?
Giovanni
We've been booked.
Adam Carolla
Sorry. All right, so you never wanted me to be a guest on a show. So we were miscommunicating the entire time. Okay, when have I ever even lied? I'm stopping. I'm stopped. Film ball. Film Ball.
Anderson
Not to play into cliches and whatnot and going against you, Adam, but it's the first I've ever heard of you even maybe being a guest on our show. And I've talked to Donnie plenty over the last five weeks. Never once heard about you being a guest on our show. We were always supposed to be a guest on your show. We launch our show on your show the day before our show launches. That was always the thing.
Adam Carolla
Yes. So we were missing the entire time.
Giovanni
Donnie is defensively. I can see. If he said, hey, can you do the film Vault? He may have meant, can you do them at noon as opposed to can.
Adam Carolla
You film Vault show?
Anderson
You're a very important, important man. You got a lot of things on your plate. I mean, a little film vault miscommunication. Minor.
Adam Carolla
Minor.
Kevin Nealon
Who's the kisser now?
Anderson
There's some tongue in cheek, but minor.
Adam Carolla
Right?
Anderson
Right.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. No, he told. He. He told me during a very busy time in my.
Anderson
I like that Donnie. I like that Donnie.
Adam Carolla
Wow. Can you do the Film Vault? And I kept saying, well, can they tape on a Saturday? And I would say, can they do it on a Saturday? Can they tape on a Saturday? Maybe I can do it on a Saturday.
Anderson
Would you like to come on the film boat one day?
Adam Carolla
I would. I feel like I've been on it already. Not mentioned. This is of the Film Vault.
Anderson
The Film Vault does not sound like Film Vault.
Adam Carolla
So every show on Ace Broadcasting, how have we launched the shows? There's other shows. Damn. Came on ACP to launch. You know Days of Thunder. I thought you wanted me to be on for their first episode. That's what I thought. And that's the way you phrased it. My miscommunication last night. There was a cherry on the top of the ice cream that really put the confusion. Yeah, well, especially when I give little indicators like, yeah, but I can only do a half hour and then I got a split. Those are little things. They can be misconstrued. But that's little indicators that should. Bells should go off going, wait a minute. Well, we have done half hour ACP shows too.
Giovanni
This does remind me eight years ago.
Adam Carolla
Why can you do their show?
Giovanni
Anderson would make a great co host because he's at the time the angriest guy that I knew. And I was a pretty, you know, sunny guy. And I thought it good sort of dichotomy. But Adam is angry also. But Adam, I was telling after Anderson his anger in a different kind of way. You get angry at things that are in front of you or that catch your attention, whereas Anderson broods like he's like a slow burn all day. This would bother him.
Anderson
We talked about this on the way in to a show that we did recently. Brian and I were stuck in the car, unfortunately for like an hour and 20 minutes together due to a high speed chase. And we were talking about the differences in my anger compared to your anger. And yours is more like a flies in front of you. And you're pissed of that fly and you're trying to, you know, get it out of your face and kill it at the time. The next day you're not thinking about that fly anymore. You moved on to other things. I'm still thinking about the fly. I'm bitching about the fly. Three weeks later, I might remember that motherfucking fly. That was my face.
Adam Carolla
Well, but I have a whole new set of flies and front of me to follow.
Anderson
You always have. So do I. But I catalog them all and. And I'm always, yeah, angry at numerous things.
Adam Carolla
Wow. My head is reeling because I was so convinced a week or two ago that Donnie, I didn't. Our miscommunication is on top of miscommunication.
Anderson
Remember last time you and I got into it on Loveline and it was really ugly and we were screaming and yelling at each other back and forth and David Al Greer actually walked off. That was the most recent time. I feel like I'm David Algeria right now.
Giovanni
Was that about me?
Anderson
It was about you too.
Giovanni
Ironically, coincidentally, you're promoting the laughter all Brian.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. Yeah. Well, but at least this has to do with your program.
Anderson
That's true. We've got a lot of the film vault. I mentioned a lot. Like price. 60 so far.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. This didn't have anything to do with David. Our argument in front of poor David, let's be honest. And nothing to do with the chocolate news.
Anderson
Let's be honest. He left because no one was talking about him. I mean. Yeah, that's why he walked.
Kevin Nealon
So.
Adam Carolla
Yeah.
Giovanni
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
Well, that's. That's what Dag does. Dag does what's best for dad. He's a good guy, but he's not.
Anderson
Dag was actually wishing cancer upon himself at that moment so he could be part of the conversation, I think.
Adam Carolla
Well, I want. I feel like if you guys are gonna tease your top five most anticipated movies of the summer, you gotta each toss out one. All right, I need one from each of you. Pick your five if you like. Mine doesn't have to be number one.
Anderson
My. I believe mine was number two. And I'm not going to say the actual title or anything, but it comes from a director who centers his films around child rape.
Adam Carolla
Why can't you say, give away one of the five? That's not anything. That's number five.
Anderson
Well, no one's heard of my number two anyways, so. Love in. In a Time of War, made by Todd Salons, who pretty much makes films about anything you can think of that's uncomfortable. That happens in American society.
Adam Carolla
People have heard of Love in a Time of War. Yeah, I have.
Giovanni
I've heard dull.
Adam Carolla
Love in the Time of. Well, maybe that was it. Is it a book?
Anderson
I might even have the title not right because I don't have any notes in front of me. I.
Adam Carolla
Why are you anticipating this film?
Anderson
Because I love Todd Salon's films. You might know his films such as Happiness, Storytelling, welcome to the Dollhouse. He makes films few and far between, but when he does make them, they're very.
Giovanni
They're edgy. Uncomfortable.
Anderson
Edgy. Uncomfortable. Hilarious. Probably the most dark filmmaker. Comedic filmmaker out there.
Giovanni
And Brian, my fifth number five choice for the most anticipated movie of the summer was probably the movie everyone's paying the most. It's Iron Man 2. I'm kind of a sucker for big budget explosions and superheroes and sequels. And this is everything, including my. One of my favorite actors, Mickey Rourke.
Adam Carolla
Oh, Mickey Rourke.
Anderson
And our taste contrasts quite a bit, which is nice. So you get the full spectrum.
Adam Carolla
Yeah.
Anderson
And Brian, that film doesn't come out in summer, comes out in spring. So I said default does not work for me.
Giovanni
May what it's May 6th or 9th.
Adam Carolla
And what about now? What about like when you see one of these like Cameron Diaz, Tom Cruise, night and day blockbusters coming out and you know, you see him hitting it, hitting it pretty hard and hitting it early and often. And then you see the thing I popped up on the screen the other day and it was like June 26th and I'm like, wow, are we hitting this thing early and often? Is that in a way sort of feel like an apology or is it. It's like there's certain things in, in which you guys, you guys do film criticism on the film Vault right here in the Ace Broadcasting Network. The certain things like a movie that gets pushed back a year, doesn't get released or that's not. Not. No, you know what, we're not sending this out to reviewers. We're just gonna, you know, certain.
Anderson
An example. Remember the Boat that Rocks? You were Philip Seymour Hoffman. It was getting pushed a lot like six months ago. Do you remember this film?
Adam Carolla
Yeah, about, yeah, there was a, there was a, a movie about like the pirate radio station that was on a barge and it seemed like a good idea, but they kept pushing.
Anderson
Yeah, pushing hard. And then, and then they actually literally pushed the film by four months and renamed it and recut it. That's a terrible sign that, that means that the film has got huge problems and they're already trying to make up for those problems by over pushing it a lot of time. They'll get a budget and they'll put a ton of the budget into just advertisement to get the word out there. Once the film comes out, they're looking for a giant opening weekend, then you never hear about it again. You'll never hear see another trailer or commercial until it comes out on video three months later or DVD I should say.
Adam Carolla
Right? Because once the word gets out there, once this first wave of eyeballs hits.
Anderson
It, they're looking for the one night stand, which is the opening, right?
Adam Carolla
They're not going to report back to, they're not going back to camp infected and going to give everyone else smallpox.
Giovanni
Summer films have awareness, you know what I mean? If you, if you pulled 10 people off the street and said, have you heard of these films? Iron Man 2, Love in the Time of War. You know, the kids out, the ones they recognized were the ones that are.
Anderson
Gonna mustache the starving little Ethiopian kids with flies in their eyes and the giant pot bellied stomachs. They have heard of Iron Man 2.
Kevin Nealon
Right?
Anderson
I mean that's how well the advertisement machine works for these summer films. Those kids are starving in Africa, but they're well aware of a film called Iron Man 2 coming up. And it's. It's. But Iron Man 2 might not be the greatest example to use, because I think it's going to be a good film.
Kevin Nealon
Right.
Adam Carolla
Well, you know, Robert Downey Jr. He doesn't make a lot of bad.
Giovanni
Does make a lot of bad movies.
Adam Carolla
Damn good batting definitely in the upswing.
Giovanni
Sort of like Johnny Depp around the time time. The Pirates of the Caribbean. You know what I mean? He's kicked the drugs. He's on the upswing. Things are looking good for him.
Anderson
Johnny Depp's a drug addict?
Adam Carolla
No, but.
Giovanni
No, but similar to Johnny Depp resurgence.
Adam Carolla
So back to Night and Day, right? Is this thing going to be as big a piece of as it seems or.
Giovanni
Tom Cruise doesn't make a lot of bad movies. People sort of forget Vanilla sky, my favorite remake of all time. Number one remake of all time.
Anderson
Would you hold that weight, dude? Because we're going to do that episode in a few weeks. Jesus Christ.
Giovanni
Spoiler, spoiler. Anyway, think about Tom Cruise. People get caught up in sort of the media thing and the Oprah couch jumping and the Mary and Katie.
Anderson
Stop being glib. You're being glib.
Giovanni
He doesn't make a lot of bad movies. Tom Cruise makes pretty consistently decent movies.
Anderson
Okay, we talked about this on a different incarnation of the film ball, the movie beat, or whatever we called it way back when. And that is. Tom Cruise might be the most underrated actor out there. He might be, because his name is so much bigger than his actual acting. He's a great actor. And people lose that in his jumping on couches, which Brian was just saying.
Giovanni
In his early days, he's in Top Gun and Days of Thunder, which fine movies, but not great movies. You know, I'm saying, like, they were sort of.
Anderson
Katie's saying.
Giovanni
Yeah, they're beneath him.
Adam Carolla
Right.
Giovanni
I think.
Adam Carolla
How about Anderson holding the mic an inch from his lips? Your mic being nine inches from your. Is that a problem? Sonically?
Giovanni
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
So that's okay with everyone? All right.
Giovanni
I'll hold mine if you want me to.
Adam Carolla
No, it's gonna suggest the other way around, but as long as it balances out. Maybe if you hold it four inches from your lips. I move.
Anderson
I move my. My head so much, Adam.
Adam Carolla
Okay.
Anderson
Plus, I'm a technical OCD freak, so.
Adam Carolla
That's true.
Anderson
I come. That's where I come from.
Adam Carolla
So. So the. The Five now, Anderson, you're into filmmaking, right?
Anderson
Yeah, I could say that. I guess I could consider myself a failed filmmaker because I graduated from film school 10 years ago with Steven Spielberg himself and have yet to make anything since other than documentary that I never edited together.
Adam Carolla
You went to USC to study film?
Giovanni
No.
Adam Carolla
What about Steven Spielberg?
Anderson
My least favorite film in the world come from usc.
Giovanni
Long Beach State.
Anderson
Long Beach State. Long story. But he ended up graduating with my class of 24 people.
Adam Carolla
Even though he was Steven Spielberg.
Anderson
Yeah, he was actually on the roll sheet in my class, but never showed up one day. The teacher wrote a excuses for him every day and gave him an. They actually gave him a degree and he showed up and walked with our class.
Adam Carolla
Why would he do that?
Anderson
Because he has. Apparently he has a bunch of African American children that he's adopted that he wanted to set a good example for. However, I don't understand how that's a good example at all, seeing that he never showed up one. One day.
Giovanni
Edison is a conspiracy theorist.
Anderson
Well, all the ass kisses in my class, all 23 of them, went up and shook his hand and said how great it was to meet them. And I just sat there smoking cigarettes, giving them dirty looks.
Adam Carolla
But should you be saying, nice to meet you on the last day of class?
Anderson
Not if you never showed up for one day. And I'm slave.
Adam Carolla
You shouldn't be. You shouldn't be meeting a fellow student on the last day of class.
Giovanni
Pleasure to meet you.
Adam Carolla
Pleasure to meet you.
Anderson
He turned in films throughout, though.
Adam Carolla
Oh, he did.
Anderson
He turned in ET And I'm not making any of this up. It sounds like total bullshit, but he turned in ET as like his final project. He got an A.
Kevin Nealon
Wait a second here.
Giovanni
My little graduation project. It's called Jurassic Park.
Adam Carolla
Let me. Let me try to figure something out here. Spielberg, who at some point went to usc, right?
Anderson
I don't think he ever went to Long Beach State.
Adam Carolla
He never went.
Giovanni
Donated a shitload of money.
Adam Carolla
He just gave a bunch of money.
Anderson
Flunked out of Long Beach State.
Adam Carolla
They flunked out of Long Beach.
Anderson
They told him, you're a terrible filmmaker. Go away. That says anything about the program over there.
Adam Carolla
He then he adopted a bunch of black kids and he wanted to set an example by getting his college degree. It's sort of that thing that guys in the NFL do. Even though they get the big paycheck and the big payday and the contract and everything, they'll go back and make mama happy and get their degree. Okay, so he then wants to set an example. So 30 years on to his film career. 25 years on to his film career. He decides to go back to his alma mater, which is Long Beach State, and get his diploma, right? He's a film major. So thus Anderson's a film major. And this is circa 2002. 2002. So he's gonna go back and he's gonna graduate, but obviously he's a busy man and he's not going to Long Beach. And sitting behind Anderson, he was getting hit with secondhand smoke and homemade suds.
Giovanni
He was shooting AI. So he decided, take a break and go right.
Anderson
Don't bring up AI.
Adam Carolla
But he did.
Anderson
Please don't bring that film up.
Adam Carolla
He did do homework or assignments and things like that.
Anderson
Retrospectively, yes. Like, he turned in homework that he had done since he had flunked out.
Adam Carolla
So he turned in on his own. He turned in.
Anderson
He pretty much homeschooled.
Giovanni
He said, there's list.
Adam Carolla
So he turned in E.T. yeah. And would you guys watch it as a class? No.
Anderson
No. We didn't even. Here's how it happened. Here's how we found out it was a conspiracy. Conspiracy. Because I was. I knew the class. We started with, like, 250 people, and then they whittled us down to, like, 50 people, and then only 24 of us made it to the next step. Actually, 23. And one day, I was always with our professor. I bullied him a lot. I was. I was a dick to him because.
Adam Carolla
What?
Anderson
Yeah, I know. Weird, huh?
Adam Carolla
Hold on.
Giovanni
The Anderson I know, never.
Adam Carolla
Wow.
Kevin Nealon
Wow.
Anderson
Chris Hart, if you're out there, I love you. But him, kind of a pain in the ass, so I would love screwing around one day.
Giovanni
Professor.
Kevin Nealon
Yeah.
Anderson
He actually made a film that was huge at Sundance. So that's why. It's one of the reasons why Sundance is not credible anymore. Anyways, I went up there and I was looking at the role sheet because I was just bored with whatever he was trying to teach us. And I saw a name, and I don't remember the name. He, like, used Chris Kelly or something. And I said, who's this person? I've never seen this person in our class. And he said, don't worry about that. Anderson. And he started putting the paper away. And then I demanded to know and. And it turned out that it was Steven Spielberg.
Adam Carolla
This guy sounds like a royal pain in the ass.
Anderson
My professor.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, the guy stood there and tried to put papers away. He was a pain in the ass.
Giovanni
What a jerk.
Anderson
He was a pain in the ass.
Adam Carolla
There's nothing worse Than a guy who tries to put papers away when you demand things. Yeah, it's really just. It's really the very definition of pain in the ass.
Giovanni
Anderson is like a pig that finds truffles. He knows how to find these a.
Anderson
Holes worse than you work your ass off. And I mean, I was just a slave. I was so into the film department and making films and you know, just top of the, top of the class A's everywhere. And then I finally get to the program that I've been working so hard to get. Only the precious 23 of us get there. And since it's a fucking state school, not goddamn USC where you buy your goddamn diploma or ucla, it's a state school. So we get our professor and it's this guy who. Nice guy, but had just terrified of life and everything and had very little to teach. So that's why he's a pain.
Adam Carolla
I find people are terrified of life. They'll make good films oftentimes. Yeah. So now. So Spielberg graduates and he does show up for actual to get the diploma. Yeah, no, that's fine.
Anderson
Bold move, right?
Adam Carolla
I guess. Did he bring his kids? Did he want that picture?
Anderson
It was Long beach. So it's hard to tell because it's Anderson. I'm just saying. There's ethnically diverse out there.
Adam Carolla
I'm just saying. Well, the kids wearing the kevlar vest that I guess would have been. Would have been Spielberg the new showed up wearing the kevlar yarmulkes.
Anderson
Everyone was excited about me. Apparently I was the only one not. Not.
Adam Carolla
That could be the name of one of your books.
Anderson
Everyone excited.
Adam Carolla
And so now what do they teach in film class? And how much of it is actual theater technical stuff and how much of it is story and editing. Like what do you get? The Full Monty? Or they just focus on the screenwriting. Like how does that work?
Anderson
That was part of the breakoff point to you if you figure out if you want to make films overall, such as write, direct, be an auteur, if you will, which is somebody who actually sees all facets of film. Or if you want to specialize, which I didn't do. Which kind of puts me in a difficult particular here because I'm not a specialty of anything. I need to be the big boss on something, which is hard gig to get. But we learned a little bit of everything. Whereas other people broke off and they just learned how to edit or just how to be on camera crew and just do the production side of things, such as director of photography.
Adam Carolla
So if you had your wish. Would you like to direct or write or.
Anderson
I don't want to get into this because it makes me sound just like what I am at the present time right now. Adam, if you'd like to let you going back to Loveline days. Right now I'm working at radio.
Kevin Nealon
Yeah.
Anderson
That's why I have a film strip tattoo my arm.
Adam Carolla
But most people. Most people have an idea.
Anderson
I want to. I want to write and direct.
Adam Carolla
That's all right.
Anderson
I still write all the time and I'm still working on this and that. To be honest, I. I drink too much and I love sleeping in and I love hanging out with my three little dogs. Probably more than out in Hollywood doing what I should be doing, which is hitting the pavement and it's just showing.
Giovanni
My house said it picked me up and drive me over here was 11:15am And I said, want a beer? Jokingly, he said, yes, unjokingly. And drink a beer.
Anderson
It's a good beer, not a bad beer.
Adam Carolla
It's a good beer. Listen, there's nothing wrong with a good beer in the. In the a.m. and yeah, it's, you know, look, it's. It's a shitty, tough business. You have to just be dogged. And if you're not dogged and no one, there's no nepotism. And I'm guessing your family back in Pittsburgh? No, they're from my dad.
Anderson
I'm actually born and raised out here. Adam, I don't know if you're.
Adam Carolla
Oh, what's the hell.
Kevin Nealon
The big.
Adam Carolla
What's the big Penguins.
Anderson
I brainwashed and from the point of. When I was three years old, my dad dressed me up in Steeler gear because he was from Pittsburgh. But now I just said all that, I'm just a big giant Penguin fan. Die Hard got a big game coming up later on today. Anyways, that being said, my. Yeah. My family is of no help. Great, great people. My dad's lost his mind, though, and.
Adam Carolla
He lost his mind.
Anderson
Yeah, he's crazy.
Adam Carolla
Oh, really?
Anderson
He doesn't remember. He's addled.
Adam Carolla
That doesn't mean you're crazy. It's because you don't remember.
Anderson
Oh, he's crazy. He's crazy before he's crazy when he barricades the entire house. The whole house is. I tell him that he's become Howard Hughes, but he doesn't have the genius.
Kevin Nealon
Yes, he likes that.
Adam Carolla
It's a poor man's Howard Hughes.
Anderson
He's a poor man's Howard. You a stupid poor man's Howard.
Adam Carolla
You Love it.
Anderson
Never what you want, but every night, like, he'll take. He'll move the couch and barricade the.
Adam Carolla
The.
Anderson
The. The. The French doors so that no one can get in the back. No one's trying to steal from his house. I'm always like, dad, what do you got, the lost ark in here?
Adam Carolla
What's.
Anderson
What's. What's so valuable? Yeah, and he's like, people. It's desperate times, son. Desperate times.
Adam Carolla
See, I would argue, like, what if someone was casing the house and was eyeballing the sofa, and now you just moved it right by the door? Like, now it's easy pickings, right?
Anderson
Plus, what are they? What are they. What are they hiding in there? What. Why are they barricade in the house?
Adam Carolla
Could be. Yeah, it's a good point. It's got to be something valuable in that house. Now we gotta get in somebody. Yeah, we gotta get around that sofa first, by the way.
Giovanni
First things first.
Adam Carolla
Grab that sofa. It seemed like every movie, bringing it back to movies. There used to be scenes in almost every movie where someone was chasing somebody. Somebody would pull over a vending machine or something behind them.
Giovanni
Blues Brothers.
Adam Carolla
Or go into an office and barricade themselves in the office. Feel like there was a scene that was in almost every horror movie. It was in every horror movie and half the action movie.
Anderson
It happens in Lost every other episode.
Adam Carolla
As well where you run, and as you run, you knock shit over behind you. I always feel like no substitute for just running.
Kevin Nealon
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
Like, stopping and knocking over bookshelves slows you down more than it slows down the guys running behind it.
Giovanni
If you're a little bit faster than that guy, then you're in good shape.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, well, I feel like you're motivated to be a little bit faster than that guy. Yeah, I always. The other one they used to do in movies that they don't do anymore either is at some point you would throw something. Like, you would reach into a grocery bag and grab a can of corn and chuck it at the assailant who was running away. And there'd be a slight. Like a bomb dropping out of a World War II bomber as a can of corn hit the guy in the back of the head, knocked him out.
Giovanni
Yeah, Cole.
Anderson
And then he would overact the.
Adam Carolla
He'd always jerk, like, way too much. And there's. There's a certain kind of overacting. And that overacting is like when you're John Candy and you have to serve up the racquetball and has to Hit you in the forehead. There's a weird move that they do whenever someone is intentionally taking one in the head. It goes forward, right?
Anderson
Then forward again.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, I think it's that little slight move. It's also to center it on the forehead because maybe it would have hit you toward the hairline or maybe it would have hit you in the bridge of the nose.
Anderson
Let's just say you are sexually attracted to that act, that overacting and being killed or hit a great beat off film. All his entire catalog would be Jackie Chan films. I mean, every single actor that gets hit in his films pretty much does that.
Adam Carolla
Weird head jerk.
Anderson
Weird head jerk. So I wish that I was sexually attracted to that because that would be a nice catalog fix for you. Easy fix. We gotta go, though. I hate to break up this party, but I'm late.
Adam Carolla
Today is young. All right, well, I want to say this too. Maybe Jackie Chan has done it for so long and so well that it's become its own style.
Anderson
Maybe they're all mock mimicking now.
Adam Carolla
You know what I mean? Like, maybe it lives in its own reality. These Jackie Chan things.
Anderson
Fair to Jackie Chan. I wasn't saying him per se. It's the people that work with people.
Adam Carolla
That receive the blows. Yeah. Not the blow.
Anderson
Receivers, Right.
Adam Carolla
All right. Film Vault premieres tomorrow. Premieres tomorrow. What day is it today?
Giovanni
Today's Thursday, April 20th.
Anderson
The great thing about the Film Ball real quick is we go way back into the annals of film history. We talk about films that haven't been talked about in the media in quite some time that deserve their due or to be re. Looked at revisited as well.
Giovanni
They're a photo album, you know, I mean, like, oh, yeah, that was a good time.
Anderson
And we research. I mean, we prepare for this show. We. We watch the films a lot of time.
Adam Carolla
We.
Anderson
We read up on them. We give you fun facts. So it's good that way. And we also do a segment called Red Light, Green Light with Miss Movies, which we should mention, where we talk about films that are in production.
Adam Carolla
How much noise do you make with your cup during the course of your show?
Anderson
So we talk about films from way back when and way in the future. And very seldom do we talk about films that are brand spanking new.
Adam Carolla
Sure. All right, I agree.
Anderson
See what I'm saying?
Giovanni
Sorry.
Adam Carolla
One for yes, two for no. Yes. I know what you're saying. You're not just going over. You can see any review of any new movie.
Giovanni
Yes.
Adam Carolla
At any place. But what did you say?
Anderson
Brian, we're siskel. And Ebert, but younger and alive.
Giovanni
And alive.
Kevin Nealon
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
Yeah.
Giovanni
Although with a brain tumor.
Anderson
Siskel and Ebert, younger and alive plus brain tumor plus two jaws.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, how about that? Because Siskel, but you do have a black wife. Don't do that.
Giovanni
Please don't bring that up.
Anderson
Maybe Brian and I will come back and do this again where we don't spend the first half hour with Donnie taking shrapnel.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, it's quite an argument. Like I said, my head is reeling. But we'll play a part today. That too. All right, so. And now, until next time, this Adam curl for ball. Bryan and Anderson and their buddies on the film Vault saying Mahala.
Kevin Nealon
All right, there was the madness of.
Giovanni
Adam Crow Show 291.
Adam Carolla
Yep. That was a podcast that released.
Giovanni
How crazy is that Podcast about a podcast?
Adam Carolla
Never quite happened. Coming up next, we have Adam Crollo show693.
Giovanni
Allison Rosen, Brian Bishop, 2010. Hope you guys enjoy.
Adam Carolla
There's a place out here for millionaires on Ventura Boulevard called the Wiener Factory. Those who are Southern California natives know it, and it went out of business a few years ago. Wiener Factory, Yeah. Back in the day, they played good.
Alison Rosen
Music and they had supple buns.
Adam Carolla
You know, the only time I really feel free is. Is when I'm eating a hot dog and on the dance floor.
Alison Rosen
Tell me about it, sister.
Adam Carolla
And it was great because I get low and browse there. When I was like 17 or 18, it was one of those, we don't check ID, right? And they start a food truck. One of the guys who worked there, it's one of these things where the guy went, he worked there for 15 years. And then when they went out of business, everyone was like, ah, man, we're gonna miss the Wiener Factory. And he just said, you know what? Screw it. I'll start a food truck and I'll do the same dogs we used to do at the Wiener Factory. So anyway, you can check them out@www.thewean.com.
Alison Rosen
I didn't realize this was them.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, just came by and fed everybody. And it's because I was complaining about those God damn Dodger Dogs, just how fucking horrible they are. And here's what I'm tired of in life. I'm tired of the people are like, well, that's your opinion. I like, fuck you. You're an idiot. I'm tired of that. The Dodger Dog is a vastly inferior product. It is piece of. It's like, you going, well, okay, you prefer the BMW, I prefer the Tercel. So now it's even. No, it's not. You're fucking retard.
Alison Rosen
Yeah, it's like if I said I enjoy eating feces, that's my lifestyle choice.
Adam Carolla
You know what? Honestly, you want to know what the Dodger dog benefits from?
Alison Rosen
What?
Adam Carolla
It benefits two things it benefits from. It benefits from people growing up being fed the Dodger dog, basically, like poi or Vegemite or. They just kind of get used to it and have a lot of good memories of them, them and their dad before the molestation started. All that stuff like, oh, man. Back when my parents were together and Steve Garvey was playing first base and I was seven years old, we used to go there. My dad would get me a Dodger Dog. So there's a lot of that. And then there's a second part. It's a cultural thing. There's a lot of fucking people from fucking Laotian people. And not to mention all of Mexico, they don't know a good hot dog, let's face it. Listen, Mexico. Stop fucking around with the hot dogs. You don't know what the fuck you're doing. The Jews know hot dogs, the Germans know hot dogs. There's groups that know dogs. You guys don't know dogs. And if you did know dogs, you wouldn't have to wrap them in bacon. That's the biggest hot dog apology in the world. I mean, for Christ's sake, you wrap liver in bacon. Hot dogs in bacon.
Alison Rosen
You could wrap a shoe in bacon.
Adam Carolla
Where is it? I'll eat it right now.
Alison Rosen
I think the ween is gonna start offering it.
Adam Carolla
What you got over there in Dodger Stadium is a whole shitload of Mexicans and they don't know shit about hot dogs. And then you have a bunch of guys that, with the Stockholm syndrome that were brought up with it. And then he mix in some other disaster, mix in some other crazy nationalities. You again, don't know fuck about hot dogs. And you have a stadium filled with and or brainwashed people who don't know enough. Because if they did that in front of a group of guys from Chicago or a bunch of German dudes, they fucking set that place on fire.
Alison Rosen
That's right. If they tried to offer them their extra long meat paste.
Adam Carolla
Fucking Farmer John, Jesus fucking Christ, does he make a shitty dog? Only in la. Really? Only in la are we fucking stupid enough? We're just so stupid. We're so fuck. We can't be. I mean, how is it that LA is, you know, the seventh largest economy in the world and all that kind of shit. And we're the dumbest motherfuckers on the planet.
Giovanni
It's been years since I agreed with you this much. I'm so thrilled to see you hate the Dodger dog so much.
Adam Carolla
It's so brutally God awful bad.
Giovanni
Anyway, Dodger Stadium. This much fall. Very much in love.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, I don't like Dodger stuff. Bad experiences there. All right.
Alison Rosen
I don't like sports.
Adam Carolla
Now where was I? Oh boy. Boy, what a fucking day. So Lynette's out of town. Gee, guess what she's doing?
Alison Rosen
Going to see Bruce Springsteen something.
Adam Carolla
Bruce. Bruce something? Yes. And she's going. She's out of town. She's with her friend.
Alison Rosen
Did she get her hair cut before she went or do anything like that? You suspect that she's sleeping with Bruce Springsteen?
Adam Carolla
No, she didn't rub out her car fender or anything like that. But she's going to see her benefit with Bruce and she's in New York. And so I'm left with the kids and the dog. And the dog's, you know, a mess and diabetes and is blind in one eye and the other one's going. And so I announce I'm taking the kid to school today.
Alison Rosen
Who do you announce this to?
Adam Carolla
The heavens. And by the way, what the hell is going on with school? There's parents. Mom and dad walking their kid in to school today. They sicken me.
Alison Rosen
Who's. Who's home asleep?
Adam Carolla
I don't know.
Alison Rosen
What's the point?
Adam Carolla
Mom and dad walking. I mean, it's just.
Alison Rosen
You don't get it.
Adam Carolla
Moms and dads and dads and moms. And then full couples, like, come on, they don't need two of you, do we really don't. And, and it's this thing where, ah, the kids really want, you know, it's a lot. It's a lot of build up. You know. The kids really want you.
Alison Rosen
Meanwhile they really don't.
Adam Carolla
They don't give a shit. They're sitting in the back of the car reading a book. And then when I get them out, they don't even. They're like, huh, Kiss off, old man. So I walk the kids over to school. I gotta get up. I'm out late last night celebrating Jimmy's birthday. Had a few. Few margaritas and up, up early. Yeah, good times.
Alison Rosen
What's that one keystroke?
Adam Carolla
Yeah. No, that was the opening of a brewski. So I'm out. I'm out a little bit late. I have a couple margaritas celebrating with Jimmy and up at the crack of Fuck. This morning, getting the kids ready, getting them dressed, you know what I mean?
Alison Rosen
Were you still drunk?
Adam Carolla
I had a buzz, but you know, buzz driving. It's drunk driving as we learn. So I'm getting the kids ready and I'm trying to get them fed and I'm trying to get all their shit together. And the Beverly kids got a backpack now filled with shit. I'm seeing these six year olds walking around the backpacks like they're fucking walking the John Muir trail.
Alison Rosen
Don't even talk about their purses.
Adam Carolla
What the hell's going on? What's in all those? In all this shit? And how'd we survive it out of a huge backpack? I never had a backpack. But anyway, Ray would have in it if I had a backpack, for sure. I mean, I, I had a rams beanie in my rams beanie. Of course he would have. In my back, back. God knows what he would have done in the backpack. So I'm getting them ready, I'm getting them dressed, I get the whole thing. Thank God. Assistant J, just on his own, decides to show up a little early. I can't, I can't get there late because I'll hear about it. So I get the kids off to school, fine, tired, working on the second book. At a certain point now, like I said, I go to visit my mom. I said, better go visit my mom because I'm right in the neighborhood. I'm planning a visit with my mom. The only good thing about having old parents is you can call them at like 7:45 and like, hello? They've been up for four hours.
Alison Rosen
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
You know what I mean? Because I fell asleep and the street lights came on, you know, so they're like, hello? Yeah, hello. I mean, you could call my dad. You could literally, you, you could be driving past my Dad's house at 5:45 in the morning and just knock on the door and he'd just answer in a full suit. Hello. Drinking a cup of Postum. How you doing? Good afternoon. That's what he'd say, right? So I called my mom at like literally like 8 10. And she's like, howdy. I was like, hi, man. Yep. You all right? Yeah. What's up? Yeah, midday. Yeah, get rich. Get ready to take a nap.
Alison Rosen
Right?
Adam Carolla
So I said, you know, I owed you a visit. And I was in the neighborhood, so dropped the kids off at, you know, come by, you know, say hi. And my mom's hips fucked up. She's getting old and she's, you know, she's slowing down. Quite a bit.
Alison Rosen
She wasn't that fast before, really.
Adam Carolla
No, no, she was never what, what you call Dave maggot of the neighborhood. Little football reference for you.
Giovanni
Digging deep.
Adam Carolla
Digging deep.
Giovanni
1990 giants.
Adam Carolla
Look it up. She was never what you call a motor scooter. But I, you know, just start talking and we just get. There's like, there's a little bit of a couple of problems. I'm going to try, try to be somewhat respectful here. But we had old neighbors and the old neighbors, I was very friendly with the son, but the gal wasn't that sweet to my sister. And the mom was an all out bitch. I mean, she was a bitch. And I didn't like her. And they were like divorced and whatever. And then at some point they moved away and began a life that sort of involved some divorces and some, you know, workman's comp and some more divorces. Let's put it to you this way. My one pal there, the neighbor, three kids, twins and a boy. The twin Girls, who are 22, both in prison, one in Florida, one out here.
Alison Rosen
That's good that they've stayed close.
Adam Carolla
And son shot in the head and blind.
Alison Rosen
Whoa.
Adam Carolla
And my mom who shot him, one of his friends or something, screwing around, whatever. So got the three kids and two, the girls are in the joint and son's blind. And my mom never stops with the hey, guess who's in town. You know, it's like, yeah, this is awesome, mom. Why don't you hang around with someone who has a fucking nickel? Fucking get a friend that has something. Somebody just has, like an unfinished furniture joint or something, or a hot dog truck or something, you know, instead of folks in federal prison, you know, and it's like, hey, guess what? I was nine when they moved, you know, like, I'm cool now, you know? So it's a lot of that. And my beef is always with my mom's because all our friends are just like. And there's not so much couple, good couple of those things, you know, those things where your parents don't really understand where you're at or like, what's going on.
Alison Rosen
Yes.
Adam Carolla
Pulls out a picture from a TV show from the 70s called Shazam. Okay, Shazam was a show where an old pedophile drove around in a Winnebago with like a young Latino kid who turned into Shazam. He'd say, shazam. He turned into Captain, whoever.
Giovanni
This is not Shaz.
Adam Carolla
No, this is before, okay? Before that. And like, it's one of these things where she pulls out A picture of Shazam. The guy from. Literally from 1975 with the old guy and the kid. And it's autographed. A guy named Kevin. And she's like, so do you know this guy? And I'm like, that's Shazam Guy. Yes, that's him. Yeah. Mm. He lives above Dorothy.
Alison Rosen
Dorothy's the lucky one.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. Like, yeah. Alrighty. And it's like. Like she wants me to, like, scream, stop the presses, or I gotta get my agent on the blower.
Alison Rosen
She's so close to celebrities.
Adam Carolla
I. I don't know. That was 1975. Wait, the guy played Shazam. The guy was Captain Whatever. I. I know. He yelled Shazam. And the show was called Shazam. That kid would turn into Shazam. It was a little.
Alison Rosen
There's no kid in this photo.
Adam Carolla
Well, the young. The young man would turn into the Shazam Guy. I don't know what the fuck is going on.
Alison Rosen
And the old guy looks like Captain Kangaroo.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. But he's not. There's Shazam Again. So we got into this. By the way, it's a show that wouldn't last 10 seconds today because there's not two and a half networks like there used to be. So we talk about Shazam For a while, but it's this thing. It's like, I don't know what you want me to do with this information.
Alison Rosen
On behalf of you, I have to say your mom seemingly not that impressed or aware of you or what you do, but wildly excited that this guy who played Shazam. Next to him lives above the neighbor with the blind son and the kids in federal prison.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, that's a grandma, but. Yeah. It's a grandma who moved away, but her son. Yeah. Yeah. Well, next time Baldwin calls in a show, I tell him I have to hang on. I got Shazam on the blower. Calling from Northern California. Yeah. So get into that for a few minutes. It's just one of those, like.
Alison Rosen
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
And she's showing me a picture, but it's not autographed to me. It's just autographed to another guy that she just said when. Send it along. Like, do you know this guy? I think he gave it to her and said, like, I don't know what the fuck's going on. So we talk about Shazam For a while. This is another one of those. What the fuck are we talking about? Shazam. We're talking about the actor who played Shazam from 37 years ago. Autographs made out to a guy named Kevin. So we talk about that for A while. Then we get into this argument because the daughter is finally going to get married. The one smart enough not to have any kids is going to get married.
Alison Rosen
Okay. Oh, the one who wasn't that nice to your sister.
Adam Carolla
Right, right. Who is nice now. And everyone's nice now, but Jesus Christ. So the daughter is going to get married and my mom goes, she's going to get married on 11, 11 11. And I said, yeah, I heard about that. A lot of people getting. A lot of people in Nevada filing for marriage certificates and licenses and stuff for 11, 11 11. And then I say, you know, what's up with that? Like, what's that?
Alison Rosen
Oh, it is my half birthday.
Adam Carolla
Oh, she brought that up. That's probably what I. Yeah, she brought that up. I yelled Shazam when she did that.
Alison Rosen
And pointed out, oh, Kevin.
Adam Carolla
Do you know your half birthday? I don't think I have a half birthday.
Giovanni
I do. Only because a girl I dated for like three years was the exact day that was my half birthday.
Adam Carolla
You have a half birthday?
Alison Rosen
Everyone has a half birthday.
Adam Carolla
Does everyone know they haven't?
Alison Rosen
Yeah, it's just six months after you're birthday.
Adam Carolla
I'm on an odd day though. When is your birthday?
Alison Rosen
You're May something.
Adam Carolla
You don't have to split the day in half.
Alison Rosen
You're may something.
Adam Carolla
I'm May 27th.
Alison Rosen
So November 27th is your half birthday.
Adam Carolla
Got that glue for dude, it's coming up, dude. Never thought about it until this day. And then I won't after this.
Giovanni
I think that's how girls know.
Adam Carolla
So it is. So what happened was, is my mom. So I said, you know, what the hell with the 11, 11, 11. Like, what the hell? What difference does that make? You know, who gives a shit? And she said, well, your kids were supposed to be born on 666 and you had them on 6, 7, 6. So it's the same thing.
Alison Rosen
It's totally not the same thing.
Adam Carolla
I said, well, not really, because one of them has a stigma attached to it that the kids are gonna drag around for the rest of their life and it's 2,000 years old. And the other one's just who. There's Nothing lucky about 11, 11, 11 that I'm aware of.
Alison Rosen
A lot of people are gonna write in disagree.
Adam Carolla
I know where's there's a stigma to the 666 thing. And she's like, yeah, but it's still kind of the same thing. You know that thing where it's just like you start getting fucking. Yeah, but still you just want to fucking. You just want to dive on them with a pillow at that point, choke them out, like. And I said, yeah, but not really because. Well, first off, my kids came into this world C section. So it's like, you come in, C section, they'll do it to you on a Monday or Friday or whenever's most convenient. Like, they'll get you. They'll go, here's your due date. And then they'll take the kids then. Or they'll take them the day before, the day after. Really, it doesn't matter. So I said, well, A doesn't matter. B, it wasn't really my decision. And then C, who gives it? You know, I just didn't want the kids walk around with the 666 tag on them. And she's like, yeah, but it's kind of the same. And like, all right, one has a horrible negative connotation.
Alison Rosen
It's really not the same.
Adam Carolla
I know. So we went around on that for a little while also.
Giovanni
6,000, 606. People always conveniently love to make things their own case by leaving off a convenient number. When, in fact, that's the number that's.
Adam Carolla
Supposed to be on there, right? So later. Later on, a couple of good moments. And I went back to the house, tired, wrote the book with lynch and that kind of stuff. And then later on then the kids came home and nanny was around. We're all in the kitchen. Molly's half blind. She's outside barking, doing her thing. And. And she's barking and barking. I'll go let her in, open the front door. I look down, she's tracking water in to the house. And I'm like, oh, she stepped in a puddle. What's it been raining? It's been raining. She's standing in water. Sprinkler busted. What's going on out there? Walks in, track and more. And I looked down, it's like, jeez, Chris, tracking a lot of water in this house. Then I look up, she's covered, she's soaked. Soaked through to the bone. And she soaked. And I'm like, what the hell was she doing? Someone spray her with a hose or something. Then I was like, oh, shit, she fell in the pool. She fell in the pool. And Molly don't like the pool. Molly don't get near the pool. I can't get Molly into the pool during the summer. It's like, come on, Molly, I love.
Alison Rosen
Your dream of a Labrador that swims.
Adam Carolla
Won't get near the fucking water. I run outside, I see the splash. I See the tracks coming out from the, you know, the stairs. It's like, holy. She's blind. And she fell into the pool. And I'm like, oh, my God. And so we come, you know, kids are running out. What's going on? To get to town. Molly fell in the pool. What? Molly fell in the pool. They run around, they want to look. They want to see what's going on. There's water. Molly. And of course, Natalia comes in ratting Molly out. Molly made a mess, all right? Lighten up, sweetheart. Jesus Christ. And she's trying to rat the fucking. Yeah, trying to narc out. Fucking Molly for making a mess out by the pool. So she's like, listen. I said, listen to me. Your mom's in New York. She's there trying to have a good time with the boss. You understand? She's gonna call sometime, you know, in the next hour or so, she's gonna call to say goodnight to you guys. Let's not say anything about Molly, right? I don't want to hear anything.
Alison Rosen
He's proven her record of keeping secret.
Adam Carolla
Jesus Christ, she'd be the worst fucking good fella on the planet. She'd run to the cops in the middle of the heist. Like I said, listen. And I'm laughing as I'm saying, because I said, listen, Mama is gonna worry. Mama's gonna be very worried if we tell her. And she's gonna be very depressed. Cause this is a bad sign that Molly fell into the swimming pool. And Molly could have easily drowned. She doesn't swim. I don't know. She must have just fell in right by the stairs and somehow got out. But Mama's going to freak. We're not telling Mama that Molly fell into the pool. Do you understand me? And then I go, yeah, she was. No mention. When she gets back, then we can tell her. Until then, no, of course. Smash cut to me upstairs doing a little shadow boxing in front of the TV set with the phone. Natalia holding it. Now Mommy's on the phone. And we didn't tell Mommy about, you know, Molly falling into the pool. So you don't tell it. It's like, you know, grab the phone. What. What's going on? You know, it's like, oh, right. Fucking little shits with their, you know, they did the.
Alison Rosen
She didn't tell. And then she held up the phone and announced that she didn't tell.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, basically.
Alison Rosen
And manipulative.
Adam Carolla
Then you get this, by the way, this is a chick move. This is a chick move all the way right here. What happened? Molly. She fell into pool. She fell into the pool? Yeah, she was outside, and, you know, she's. I guess she fell in the po. Why weren't you watching her? Because I never, ever watch. She goes, why wasn't I watching her? We do the same thing every night. Open the door, go out and bark, shut the door, stand in the kitchen, eat dinner. She runs around the yard and barks. I watch here. I love that. Kind of like, I love that it's a chick thing and gay thing, which is when shit goes wrong. Even though there's no way that anyone could humanly could have possibly prevented it because the dog just goes out for an hour at a time every night, and you just slam the door behind it. You have no idea where the fuck the dog is because it's dark outside. Why weren't you standing there guarding the pool to prevent something that's never happened before? Like, it's totally illogical.
Alison Rosen
Hey, you have a crystal ball brain.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, she must. She must know it, too. But it's like, who weren't you looking after? It's like, no, we've never. You, never. Lynette and me. No one's ever followed the dog out. You open the door, the dog takes off, and they just run around the yard, take a shot and then bark a little more. And then 20 minutes later, you let them in. So Molly fell into the pool, which is bad times for Molly and bad times for me. Because now when I let her out, I gotta go stand. Stand, block the pool, though. I don't know. Maybe she's freaked out and doesn't want to get. Don't want to get near the pool, so that's a good time.
Giovanni
I don't know if it's a bad taste to bring it up, but isn't that, like, especially bad times? Because usually dogs know the lay of the land, right? Like, use. Like, they won't put them into furniture if they go blind because they know where everything is inherently. Like, she's confused.
Adam Carolla
Is she? I don't think. Well, first off, you know, it's not like she was, you know, solving any major math problems.
Giovanni
She was making football checks for us.
Adam Carolla
It's true. She's better than me making football picks when she was four. And. Yeah, I just think she's more blind. And it was. It was kind of moonless and dark, and she stand by the edge. I don't know. Either way, not a good. Not a good sign for the Molly girl. Let's. Let's put it to you that way. Or the Ace, man. She's doing around decent points. She's missing her ear. I don't know. I got another thing to complain about. Oh remember I was complaining about the fucking valets and they put those little. Put those little tabs on your windshield and they're the tag.
Alison Rosen
They're in Miller's car apparently though. I know.
Adam Carolla
And that's. That tab just stays there until it rains and smears and you reach it and you reach around and the whole nine yards. Last night. Come out of the high end restaurant after the Kimmel party. Eight bucks for valet. By the way. Get the keys back from the valet. Got the big old keychain, cardboard, keychain chain on. That's a picture of it. I made lynch take a picture of it today. Now here's the thing, dickheads. Do you think I collect and trade these things with my friends as our.
Alison Rosen
Business to resell them to other valets?
Adam Carolla
Yeah. I'm building a collage. Pinata out of decoupage. Pinata out of them? Yeah. The scrapbook. Yeah. Put aside that Angry Birds video, Sonny. I got a scrap of perforated paper here for you to play with with a lot of numbers on it and a picture of an old fashioned Stanley Steamer. The point is this. Hey Dick, are we done? We're done. Are we not?
Alison Rosen
You are.
Adam Carolla
How about you remove your fucking piece of cardboard from my fucking keys and.
Alison Rosen
I'm just a whore that leaves her lipstick all over your face or whatever or what have you.
Adam Carolla
That's right. Yeah. It's bullshit. And I know there's that. Cry me a river, Adam. So what? So what? Do your fucking job. Because you get your eight bucks, you don't get seven bucks and you get your $5 tip. Take your fucking cardboard off.
Alison Rosen
Why don't they is tearing not in their job description.
Adam Carolla
How much is involved with being a valet barker?
Alison Rosen
Do you have a trash can or a recycling bin?
Adam Carolla
I don't.
Alison Rosen
They don't.
Adam Carolla
Here's what they don't. They don't give a fuck. Valet guys, all guys that deal with cars are world class assholes and or lazy folks.
Alison Rosen
Fox get that prop.
Adam Carolla
The worst guys in the world. All the parking lot attendants are assholes. All the guys who do valet guys usually assholes. And there's a certain thing. One is they're driving your nice car and they're going home on a fucking 10 speed that they stole from a Mexican. So they're pissed number one. Number two they don't. There seems to be nobody who runs a valet service that ever Goes, look, here's what we're gonna do. You give the person their keys. But before you give them their keys, you tear the little thing off because we don't need this anymore. Neither do they. Or. And maybe. Oh. Oh, I'm looking at it now. I think they want you. They want you to call.
Alison Rosen
Oh, they're leaving their business card.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, but give me a business card. I don't fucking want it. And what's the deal with what's on the windshield? Take it off. Finish your job. And the guy left my fucking seat up, too. They're all fucking midgets. They all put the seat all the way up. I know this sounds like you try. Try climbing into a car where the seat's all the way up and you're.
Alison Rosen
Sitting like a fat ass.
Adam Carolla
Sucks. You're dragging your balls across the steering wheel, the horn going off, everyone looking, staring, paparazzi taking pictures, accidentally turning the.
Alison Rosen
Turn signal with your junk.
Kevin Nealon
All right.
Adam Carolla
I don't even know what the fuck I'm talking about. The news with Allison Rosen. She'll read some news from her iPad.
Giovanni
Sometimes.
Adam Carolla
Sometimes it's good, sometimes it's bad. It's Allison, Allison. And when it's time to wrap it.
Giovanni
Up, she'll sign it off with zip.
Adam Carolla
It's Allison, Allison.
Alison Rosen
Herman Cain on tv.
Adam Carolla
Hold on. Remember yesterday I was saying that Michael Naron, after all these years of contributing and working pro bono and doing all this hard work, I got him a gig working for Seth and the Family Guy doing store storyboarding things and how it all just sort of paid off for him. And he's coming out to Hollywood.
Alison Rosen
Yes.
Adam Carolla
No such luck for Rich Banks. Sorry, Rich. It's not gonna happen.
Giovanni
It's good that he found out this way.
Adam Carolla
Not sticking my head out for you. Sorry, where were we?
Alison Rosen
Who's Rich Banks? Herman Cain on Tuesday vehemently denied all sexual harassment allegations against him and said he had no memory of the first accuser to publicly describe claimed misconduct by the Republican presidential hopeful. Quote, they simply didn't happen. They simply did not happen.
Adam Carolla
He was just jealous of the gropers. I wish I had the balls to grope. I mean, just, you know, just riding, you know, just. You're on that airport shuttle thing. You know, you're on that weird tram thing that travels underneath the thing, and you're just standing up, and there's a chick standing next to you, and she's holding onto that bar, and you just grab a little titty. You know what I mean?
Giovanni
Do you wait for.
Alison Rosen
For the.
Giovanni
The Shuttle to bank a little bit to the left.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. And it grabs it.
Giovanni
Oh, I'm sorry.
Alison Rosen
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
Like, I just always thought that would be. I. I always just felt like that was such a low percentage move. Like I just grabbed some crotch. Right.
Alison Rosen
It's not low hanging gentles.
Adam Carolla
No. And the chick, like, like, what are the chances that she's gonna be into it sitting there and I just grab her and chick goes. Oh, Yeah.
Alison Rosen
I like 0.0.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. No offense, I was hoping for a big toe, but.
Alison Rosen
All right, all right, so let's get into this for a minute. See, I. Here's my thing. I have many a thing with Herman Cain, but I feel like. And I almost tweeted this, but I was afraid of the reaction. But there's something different to me between wanted sexual advances and unwanted sexual advances. Because people keep bringing up Clinton. Well, the liberals gave Clinton a free pass. And look at all the horrible things he did, you know, with Monica Lewinsky and all the womanizing and stuff. I don't think they're the same though, because yes, you could say it was an abuse of power, but Monica Lewinsky had a crush on him. That is different than an unwanted sexual advance. Herman Cain, it is not looking good for him. And one more thing, cuz he held a press conference today where he.
Adam Carolla
You don't necessarily know that the answer's no until you find out the answer's no. You know what I mean? Like, most of the guys I know got a lot of pussy. They got a lot of pussy. Cause they don't use a line, they use a gill net. Good stuff.
Alison Rosen
What are you saying? You gotta grope with both hands Cause you're gonna catch something.
Adam Carolla
I'm saying early and often, you know what I mean? You know, but don't they have a.
Alison Rosen
Little more finesse than to push some girl's head into their crotch?
Adam Carolla
Well, they.
Alison Rosen
Yeah, there's something more predatory about this.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, no, this is not. This is not smooth. But first off, the opposite of smooth. Look, we're only hearing about the chicks he didn't fuck. Maybe he fucked Baker's dozen of hot chicks. Maybe fuck the Rockettes and we're not aware of it. So maybe it's a genius, you know what I'm saying?
Alison Rosen
Fucking the Rockettes doesn't need to try to grope these five women and more are gonna come forward.
Adam Carolla
You think he's like 0 for 17 in the groping department?
Alison Rosen
I really, I don't think someone who's smooth with the ladies so smooth that they could Sleep with all of the Rockettes.
Giovanni
Let me try.
Alison Rosen
Would also be grabbing at genitals.
Giovanni
Babe Ruth set a record for strikeouts.
Adam Carolla
It's good.
Giovanni
Good, right?
Adam Carolla
It's good.
Alison Rosen
Who's Babe Ruth?
Adam Carolla
That's good.
Alison Rosen
Anyway, so he denied everything in this press conference. And one more thing. I was thinking, if it's all so untrue, why is he not pressing charges? You think he would sue them?
Adam Carolla
Here, I'll put. I'm gonna put off my sofa. I'll put everything in a nutshell and good and bad. Yes, I agree that it seems like a character flaw, and I don't like that. On the other hand, I cannot stand the witch hunt that takes place whenever anyone runs for anything of any importance at all, that we just dig up a bunch of stuff that no one seemed to really give a shit about beforehand. And it's not like these women were in hospitals or anything. It's like, like all of a sudden people that have been married for 10 years, like stuff that's 10 years old or 15 years old or whatever, all just comes out and everyone just gets trotted out. And if it's something like something that's politically incorrect, if he made a racial joke, and I'm not talking about Herman Cain, I just mean a guy, if there's a picture of him in a Halloween costume from a frat party that was 40 years ago where he wanted something sort of inappropriate, especially if it has to do with any race related anything or any gender, whatever, then we just make a huge deal out of it. And I don't like this vetting process that takes place where a guy, married or unmarried, runs a business or what have you, says, I'm gonna throw my hat in the ring. And then everyone just goes overtime. They just go to work and they find shit about the guy. And again, you know, if you're Don King and you stomped a guy to death who owed you 500 bucks, maybe that's one thing. It's not something I would look for in a babysitter. But when it comes to whatever he's going after, whatever role he's trying to fill here in this country, I don't like the part where we start drumming, we go looking through or not.
Alison Rosen
I started thinking about that today. I started thinking, well, but how much does something. Because I find all of it odious. And it frustrates me how many people are. How many people are willing to just say that, you know, who they're making this up and, you know, and that it.
Adam Carolla
And the Bill Clinton that's true.
Alison Rosen
But it's like, how much is it really gonna affect him being a president? I don't know.
Adam Carolla
I don't.
Alison Rosen
I don't like him, though.
Adam Carolla
The Bill Clinton thing, I agree, is marginally different. Although he was president when he happened.
Alison Rosen
Before he was president, I don't think he would have gotten to be president. That's the thing.
Adam Carolla
Oh, it did happen before he was.
Alison Rosen
President, but not to the degree that we found out after.
Adam Carolla
Well, we don't. We weren't quite as sophisticated in our intel gathering back in 1992 or whatever it was. I don't know if Bill Clinton would have been president today.
Alison Rosen
Right.
Adam Carolla
If that's what you're saying.
Alison Rosen
Privy to this information now.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, but what information is it? I mean, I've done a million things that would look fucking horrible if somebody trotted somebody out and said, did Adam.
Alison Rosen
Have you ever abused your power, though, or harassed someone or tried to trade sex for a promotion?
Adam Carolla
No, I'm kind of dumb that way.
Alison Rosen
But it's not too late.
Adam Carolla
I've done a lot of shit that if you wanted to get Gloria Allred to stand next to somebody, they could say something that made me sound like a complete ass wipe. Now, it wouldn't be, oh, Adam said, you're not gonna get the promotion unless you play the game, or any of that stuff. But believe me, there could be plenty of things that were, A, embarrassing, B, humiliating to my family, and C, made me look like degenerate at least and would have nothing to do with me governing. If you wanted to do it.
Alison Rosen
Peeing in the sink wouldn't be looked upon kindly.
Adam Carolla
Done worse in the shower, sweetheart.
Alison Rosen
Or peeing on a wallet on TV.
Adam Carolla
So it's sort of the equivalent to remember, remember 20 years ago and even 15 years ago and even 10 years ago. Did he try marijuana? Well, now I. Yes. Well, yes, I did, but I did not inhale the marijuana. It's like, oh, who gives a fuck? But it was a big deal. I mean, 20 years ago, people having serious conversations about, hey, that's illegal, and this person thumbed their nose at the law and issues drugs, use illicit drugs. And so the people would have to lie about that. And I'm not. Now we can all have a laugh about it. So what, the guy smoked a joint, what was a big deal 20 years ago? I'm just saying character. I'm sure he's a flawed guy. Not a big fan of the groping, even though I'm still a little unclear how it works. So I just start pushing her Head down at dinner.
Alison Rosen
So she was in a car.
Adam Carolla
In a car. Get apart. It makes him sort of secretly jealous. But the point is this.
Alison Rosen
Try it. Maybe it'll go well for you.
Adam Carolla
Just sort of palming the back of the head of the person while they're driving.
Giovanni
Wait till.
Alison Rosen
You know what?
Adam Carolla
I should be driving. Should I drive?
Alison Rosen
Push something onto the ground so they have. So they're bending over anyway, and then just shove your junk under their face.
Adam Carolla
In the car or. Sure, I should.
Alison Rosen
No, not in the car. It'd be too hard.
Adam Carolla
If they're driving, I'll tell them to pull over because I don't want to get blown while they're driving. Is that we're saying.
Alison Rosen
I mean, that's just good sense. Okay.
Adam Carolla
I got to work that out.
Giovanni
Unless you're one of those driving instructor cars.
Adam Carolla
Oh, I got the double wheel and break.
Giovanni
That's right.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. All right. So not a fan of the groping, even though secretly jealous. But I'm. And I don't.
Alison Rosen
I'm not a fan of the lying.
Adam Carolla
I'm not a fan of the lying. But you have to lie.
Alison Rosen
I know.
Adam Carolla
I mean, who was it, Bill Clinton that said he didn't inhale?
Alison Rosen
Yeah. Yes.
Adam Carolla
What's that?
Alison Rosen
It's a lie.
Adam Carolla
He lying. Right. And he also said I did not have sex with that. Yeah.
Alison Rosen
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
You have to. But I don't blame him. You have to lie, but be good.
Alison Rosen
At it, at least.
Adam Carolla
Well, you can't anymore because there's a camera everywhere and everyone's talking. I just. I don't like what we've become. We're like nannies and snitching and dropping dimes on everyone, and everyone's got a.
Alison Rosen
Story, and it's like you. And I don't like that either. But I still feel like this is beginning to look quite egregious. There's five women now, and I'm sure more are gonna come out.
Adam Carolla
Oh, well, once you get one, you'll get five.
Alison Rosen
Because. Because women like to. It's like how we go to the bathroom together.
Adam Carolla
I don't know, but I'm waiting for. The guy's inappropriate, and I don't want my daughter to date him, and I don't want my son to turn out like him. But what.
Alison Rosen
Right. You're waiting for, like a something good.
Adam Carolla
I want. He burned me with acid and then raped me.
Alison Rosen
Well, I hope we can hear that.
Adam Carolla
Or raped and then burned with that. You know what I'm saying? Any order you like, pick an order. I want Something good. I want some good 48 hours, actually.
Alison Rosen
I'm thinking which would be the worst order. Yeah, I know. Okay, let's hear the clip of him denying everything.
Adam Carolla
And again, you have to lie. You have to say, I didn't inhale, and I don't know that woman. I never touched her, and we didn't have sex. I don't think you have to lie. You can't hold lying against them because they have to lie now. Everyone has to lie. Then later on when they have pictures, then they come out.
Alison Rosen
Why do you have to do that?
Adam Carolla
Well, I think we're learning that's a vestige that's partially by the side of the political plate. Good stuff. Unnecessary. Just a vestige of the past.
Giovanni
It's a garnish.
Adam Carolla
It's a garnish. It doesn't need to be there. I think politicians, 10 years from now, even five years from now, will start getting savvy and go, hey, man, I'm not perfect. And, yeah, I did some things I'm not too proud of. And that's kind of between me and my wife and my God. And I'm not a criminal. But, yeah, I am a guy. And I've done some stuff I'm not. I'm not too thrilled about, as of many of you. But let's focus on the topics. Let's focus on the economy. Let's focus on creating jobs. That would be nice. Then that will happen because they'll have to.
Alison Rosen
It's gonna have to. Yeah, the lying's not working well.
Adam Carolla
Well, but the problem is, is you used when you were. When you were a Kennedy. You're like, oh, hey, man. Yeah, she was drunk, so I was giving her a ride home, and then all of a sudden the fucking bridge railing gave out and the car was upside down, and I panick. And so, you know, a day later, So I called 911. You know what I mean? And then everyone goes, well, I guess we're gonna. But now they have receipts and time dates. And there's you entering the 711 to buy the Zima's for her. And it's at 2:02am and here's when you left. And then here's another. Here's an. Here's another intersection camera that caught your car going through at this time. And then your cell phone records. So the technology has caught up and passed the line. Guys are still in Kennedy mode. Like, they're still in. I did not inhale. I did not touch that woman mode, stupid. They need to jump out yes. That's where we're getting now. We're behind the technology. We're still like, a bunch of guys are getting caught cheating because the chicks are looking at this. My son is not gonna get busted for cheating because his wife looks at his cell phone record. That is our generation.
Giovanni
Right.
Adam Carolla
We're not hitting it.
Alison Rosen
How will they do it in the future?
Adam Carolla
I don't know. Like, they're gonna. They're gonna. They're gonna go like, sonny, I caught your avatar beating off to another avatar or something.
Alison Rosen
Aren't these birds sticky?
Adam Carolla
Right. So that's what's gonna happen. But we're still. Politicians are still in lying mode.
Alison Rosen
Yeah. So let's hear it.
Adam Carolla
All right. I chose to accusations directly rather than try to do it through a series.
Anderson
Of continuous statements or spokespeople because that's the person Herman Cain is. It's to take my message directly to the people. With respect to the most recent accusation, I have never acted inappropriately with anyone, period. I saw Ms. Allred.
Adam Carolla
Allred and her client yesterday in that.
Kevin Nealon
News conference for the very first time.
Anderson
As I sat in my hotel room with a couple of my staff members.
Adam Carolla
As they. He said staff and members got to the microphone, my first response in my.
Anderson
Mind and reaction was, I don't even.
Kevin Nealon
Know who this woman is.
Alison Rosen
Yeah, right.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, yeah.
Alison Rosen
And the identity of the first accuser has come out, and she works for, like, the treasury, and people are saying her credibility is beyond reproach. And in fact, it's someone. A CNN commentator was saying that when she found out who this woman was, she was like, oh, man, that looks really bad for Kane because this woman is just so esteemed and credible. He likes pussy and he likes blonde pussy.
Adam Carolla
I got.
Alison Rosen
I mean, I don't know what color.
Adam Carolla
It's really sadness for the rest of the world every time I hear one of those things where the chicks go. Every culture's different to your culture. You know, a long, tall, blonde woman.
Alison Rosen
There is no racial bigotry here.
Adam Carolla
But in other cultures now, Heidi Klum wins every beauty pageant. All cultures want to fuck a tall blonde.
Kevin Nealon
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
Where are the white women at?
Alison Rosen
It's like saying she's five' two.
Adam Carolla
You have a culture that likes high def, large flat screen panel televisions, whereas other. Yeah, I'm listening. One black and white Zeniths with a tube that are 13 inches.
Alison Rosen
Mm. With the rabbit ears. We like the rabbit ears.
Adam Carolla
So with foil on them that you use vice grips to change the channel on? No, we all went to flat panel with the high Def. That's right.
Alison Rosen
Penn State sex scandal.
Adam Carolla
Except for me.
Alison Rosen
What do you like?
Adam Carolla
I like brunettes. I like my wife. Hey, where are the white women at?
Alison Rosen
Did you never had a thing for blondes?
Adam Carolla
Listen, you know, my whole thing with chicks is good looking is good looking. Mm. Let's not.
Alison Rosen
You're colorblind to the hair.
Adam Carolla
I'm having trouble. I had trouble enough getting laid without, you know, taking whole segments of society and taking them off my potential blowjob list. You know what I'm saying?
Alison Rosen
What about red hair?
Adam Carolla
Good looking is good looking.
Alison Rosen
Curly red hair.
Adam Carolla
Well, eventually, if you go, what if she's fat, pockmarked with an A cup and a huge dimpled ass and red hair? Well, then eventually, not good looking. You see what I'm saying?
Alison Rosen
From curly red hair to that.
Adam Carolla
You got one more and we would have started getting ugly, right? Yeah.
Alison Rosen
Joe Paterno, Penn State's head coach for 46 years, who just had his 409th victory, the most for any major college football coach, is facing resounding calls to resign in disgrace.
Adam Carolla
You know what I realized first off? Unbelievable. He's like 90%. What?
Alison Rosen
He's 86 or something? Or 84 or 82.
Adam Carolla
No, no, I think he's like 92.
Giovanni
No, he's like 85.
Adam Carolla
85.
Giovanni
He's in his 80s for sure.
Adam Carolla
Let's check his. Check his number. I thought he's older than that. But the point is, he is sort of like Columbo.
Giovanni
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
He's got these. Sounds like Colombo. He looks down. He wears that sweater. He's all frumpy. He's very. He's very.
Alison Rosen
Colombo is the deal with old men. Their shoulders get higher and their heads get lower. When I was your age, television was.
Adam Carolla
Called books called scoliosis. Find out how old Joe Pye is. I swear he's older than 85.
Alison Rosen
I told him 84. I was right.
Adam Carolla
84. That's right.
Alison Rosen
The three numbers I threw out, one of them was right.
Adam Carolla
Half birthday's coming up.
Alison Rosen
See? Not just chicks. No.
Adam Carolla
So he says Kane groped him back in the 60s when he was playing.
Alison Rosen
Yeah, well, I'm just. I'm not voting for the Kane Sandusky ticket. The calls come after Paterno's longtime assistant coach, Jerry Sandusky, was charged with child sex abuse for alleged incidents dating back to 1994. A graduate assistant informed Paterno of one alleged incident in 2002 that took place in a Penn State locker room shower. Evidently, he walked in and saw Sandusky Having sex with like a 10 year old boy in the shower.
Adam Carolla
Can't judge.
Alison Rosen
I say this in the shower, he looked six.
Adam Carolla
I. You know, first there's this thing where you go, well, where would this come from if you didn't do it, like on one hand? Then there was this whole McMartin preschool thing out here that was totally insane. I was out here like 20 years ago.
Alison Rosen
That was a witch hunt.
Adam Carolla
And they just kept going and going. The next thing you know, the kids are like pointing at parts on dolls going, that's right. And it closed down the whole school, the whole nine yards. And it went on for like five years. And it turned out no one got molested.
Alison Rosen
Right? Right. Are you saying you think that might be the case?
Adam Carolla
No, I think everyone's cues were molested. Something. You want to know why?
Alison Rosen
Because those were kids. These are adults saying it. Also, adults are honest.
Adam Carolla
You always think about it like, what if someone just accused bald Bryant of molesting somebody or accused me of doing whatever, groping or something, or killing my wife OJ style or whatever. First off, the only reaction would be like, what are you fucking talking about? Are you nuts? First off, I mean, there should be press conference. Hold on, find me the guy. Where's the guy? Show me the guy, because I'm gonna sue his ass.
Alison Rosen
Say it one more time. I did not do it. There'd be more emotion behind it.
Adam Carolla
Oh, not only that, there would be. Not like, well, I'm sorry, my attorney said just be like, what? Kill my wife? What? Who said that? No way. Are you fucking nuts? That's insane. Someone's gonna get sued. And when you do find the killer, I'm gonna need apology and a big fat check from everybody because I'm sure his DNA is all over the fucking crime scene.
Giovanni
A lack of indignation is. Is alarming. You know what I mean? The fact they're not like, indignantly like.
Alison Rosen
Who are we talking about now, Sandisky?
Adam Carolla
No, no, we're talking about anybody. We're talking about O.J. we're talking about. We're talking about anybody who's accused of anything, where they go, I did not have relationships.
Alison Rosen
It just be like, you're not committing to your life.
Adam Carolla
Nuts, right? Yeah. I mean, like, if it's like, it's like somebody saying on a Friday night when you just stayed in, pop some corn and watch some Twenty20 played with your cats.
Alison Rosen
Who were you describing? I would watch Facts of Life and look at pictures of puppies.
Adam Carolla
It's like somebody said, oh, yeah, you're at the party and you're out of control, and you're whatever. And you're like. You'd be like, leave the house. You'd just be completely indignant about it. Yeah.
Alison Rosen
He'd be like, why do you think. You'd want to know why they think this?
Adam Carolla
Right. Yeah. You wouldn't be like, already mad? I'll address that when I discuss that with my council. So until then, I'm no comment on leaving the house. Yeah, you just be like, fuck that. Are you nuts? Yeah.
Alison Rosen
Because truth is fairly black and white if it's about you.
Adam Carolla
If you're OJ and you're basically turning. You turn your front lawn into a pitch and putt, and then you hopped on a plane to Chicago, and then someone accused you of cutting your wife's head off and some dude who worked at a restaurant, you'd be like, are you fucking nuts? You wouldn't be like, I'm not. No further questions. You know? No way. That's why I always believe it. Anyway, where were we?
Alison Rosen
So Paterno, who is not facing charges in the case, says he told his superiors in the athletic department.
Adam Carolla
It's the same. Hold on. It's the same with people. Don't take the stand in their defense. Like, his statement is read through his attorney is that he loved his wife very much. He would never poison her oatmeal with rat poison. And the bond and the insurance that he took out on her only days before was merely a coincidence. Thank you.
Alison Rosen
And the reason his fingerprints are on the gun, because he was removing the bullets.
Adam Carolla
If you really didn't do something, like, if you really, as I said, were downstairs watching the game when your wife fell asleep in the bathtub upstairs and drowned, you'd be like, get me on that fucking stand. And they'd be like, well, what if they asked? And what if they asked me what? I was downstairs watching the game the entire time. They can ask me whatever the fuck they want.
Alison Rosen
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
There's no. At no point am I gonna get flustered and go up, yeah, I guess I killed her. Like, not if you're downstairs watching the game the whole time, right? I mean. Okay, Molly fell in the swimming pool.
Alison Rosen
Mm. Oh, really?
Adam Carolla
See, I gotta talk to my counsel. I mean, seriously, are you sure you didn't push her? Yeah, it'd be like, abs in the fucking kitchen. I heard a bark, I came outside, she's covered with water.
Alison Rosen
What were you doing in the kitchen?
Adam Carolla
Shit, you're right.
Alison Rosen
You weren't prepared for that one.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, I wasn't prepared for that one. I'm raping my kids. Oh, shit. God damn it.
Giovanni
What have I done?
Adam Carolla
Sorry, I just confessed to a greater crime. What if the guy just panicked and shot out something even worse?
Alison Rosen
See, that's why you shouldn't have taken a stand. Okay, so he's not facing charges, but he says he told his superiors in the athletic department about what the graduate assistant saw. Paterno was told that Sandusky was, quote, fondling or doing something of a sexual nature to a young boy. According to a grand jury. However, it's later come out that, no, he knew a little more explicitly what was seen. So that's sort of a question.
Adam Carolla
This is why I would be a shit. This is why I'd be a shithead coach. And also, I'd make a bad Padre, too. I'm not talking about the baseball team in the church because, like, if I walked back and I saw, like, Dawson raping Lynch, first of all, first, my first impulse would be, look how pleased.
Alison Rosen
They look with this analogy.
Adam Carolla
Well, first would be, I told you.
Kevin Nealon
Not to talk about that.
Adam Carolla
First thing would be, lynch, get your hands off my car. Fender number one. Do it over the fucking pad. I mean, you're gonna get raped.
Alison Rosen
Have some respect.
Adam Carolla
I feel like my car is getting raped too. You know what I mean? Some fucking P R E Dotson number one, number three, number two. And then lynch, like. And then somebody like. And then Jeff, like, came in and saw, like, I'd just be like, just knock it off. Just knock it off. Let's just go home. Like, can we just pretend like this, Dawson, just don't rape lynch anymore and like, let's. I don't want to have to call the cops.
Alison Rosen
Or don't you think you'd be like, just don't do it on my car or in my studio. So you'd be just like, I'd just be bad.
Adam Carolla
Like, I just. My, my. I. I'd be bad. I wouldn't want to get people involved. Like, I'd just be like, just don't do it. Let's move forward. I'd be horrible. I'd be a crappy monsignor.
Alison Rosen
What if you saw one of them raping someone younger than lynch though? Like a young boy, Like a kid. I have a feeling you would call the authority.
Adam Carolla
Oh, the 10 year old?
Giovanni
Yeah, yeah.
Adam Carolla
Still in the car.
Alison Rosen
Well, the.
Adam Carolla
Because the.
Alison Rosen
More like, it'd be a mini bike.
Adam Carolla
He could have chocolate on his fingers.
Alison Rosen
Yeah, yeah.
Adam Carolla
All over the fenders.
Alison Rosen
Right?
Giovanni
That's not Chocolate.
Alison Rosen
So. Ew. Turno has said in a statement that he did what he was supposed to do with the one charge that was brought to his attention. On Tuesday, a Paterno news conference during which he was expected to face questions about the scandal was canceled. And it's not going to be rescheduled, the university said in a statement. Due to the ongoing legal circumstances centered around the recent allegations and charges, we have determined that today's press conference cannot be held. Will not be rescheduled. And Sandusky, you know, he has this outreach charity called the Second Mile where he helps kids in need. And there's. But that's also how he was meeting these young, young kids.
Adam Carolla
That's why you don't trust anyone who reaches out to kids. I've said it many times.
Alison Rosen
Yeah, well, it's like. And I've talked about it on the show. At my grade school, we had this huge molestation case, and it was the PE teacher.
Adam Carolla
Now, the reason why.
Alison Rosen
Suspicious of people who want to be around kids.
Adam Carolla
When I was a Catholic Big Brother, everyone was sitting around.
Giovanni
Did you just fly to Denver, by the way?
Adam Carolla
The baby Simpson, everybody. True.
Alison Rosen
Except us.
Adam Carolla
Everyone is sitting around the room and they were, like, trying to weed out the troublemakers, you know, and they're like, there's some creepy dudes, you know, like, they're like. And Tim, why. Why did you want to be a Catholic Big brother? I'm from St. Louis and I relocated out here and just lonely, you know? And like, I was like, adam, why are you here? Because I am in an improv troupe with a dude named Paul and his wife Maria. Works for the Catholic Big Brothers, and she kind of basically talked me into it and then, by the way, quit. But I'm committed for two years now.
Alison Rosen
It's a two year commitment.
Adam Carolla
It's like a one year. Every weekend for one year.
Alison Rosen
Wow.
Adam Carolla
I don't know. Look up the Catholic Greek Brothers. I think it's. I think it's one weekend for every. For the first year, I think at least was what it was first year, every weekend. And then after that, you can kind of make your own schedule. You know what I mean?
Alison Rosen
What's in it for you other than just salvation and bragging rights and access to young kids? School credit money.
Adam Carolla
No, no, you don't get. You have to pay for everything. You have to pay for, you know, if you go to McDonald's or if you go to Knott's Berry Farm or something, you gotta pay. They don't kick you over anything. Yeah. If you're poor. It blows. And I was poor, so it was a lot of like, hey, let's go to Taco Bell.
Alison Rosen
And you actually did this. Are you still in touch with your younger brothers?
Adam Carolla
No, kids shined me on as soon as I got on tv.
Alison Rosen
Oh, really?
Adam Carolla
I swear to God. The guy cut me loose as soon as I got on. Soon as I had an ounce of fame.
Alison Rosen
Why?
Adam Carolla
I don't know.
Alison Rosen
He was threatened, he couldn't handle it.
Adam Carolla
I don't know. What happened was, is I had this kid, his name is Nate, and I took him out. And then I would take Tim, the Russian rapper's friend, out. Fat Russian kid, probably in prison out too. And I was in. And we were. We saw each other every week and. And he would like, sleep over and stuff. Like, we. He'd come to my improv shows when I was with my troop, and we'd go out afterward and hang out and like, take him to movies and all that kind of crap. There's a picture of me and Nate from back in the day. Yeah, thank you. Yeah.
Giovanni
Boy isn't bad either.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, and then I met him, like about two years before. I just sort of got on the radio and stuff and I just started getting. And then soon as I got like on Loveline or Mancha or something. That's about it.
Alison Rosen
You should Facebook him, find out.
Adam Carolla
He was.
Alison Rosen
You should call him.
Adam Carolla
He was getting to the end of his thing. You know, honestly what it was. He got a girlfriend. And when you take a nerd who has not groped a guy who's gone gropeless through high school.
Alison Rosen
Right. I hear you.
Adam Carolla
And he turns 19 and you break him off a big fat wedge of groper.
Alison Rosen
You mean if he's. If he. If he cuts himself a slice of pussy?
Adam Carolla
Yeah, a one year commitment of a few hours spent with the child. Two or three times. Oh, two or three times each month. All right, There you go. I thought it was once a week, but maybe it was a.
Alison Rosen
Well, I think we should call your little brother. Yeah, we should get in touch with him. I think that'd be funny to do it on the show.
Adam Carolla
He's. You know, I was thinking the other day, he's older now than I was when I adopted him back in the day.
Alison Rosen
Isn't that weird when that happens?
Adam Carolla
And I had a good time with him and we just never. Once he started getting laid, I guess. And once I started going on the man show and stuff, it just never hit me up again. He came out to the man show one time he was a funny guy because he was a real quiet, shy guy. And it wasn't any big deal. Like, he showed up to the man show for one taping one day and he just kind of, like, looked around. He's like, yeah, not bad. And, you know, drank a Coke and split.
Alison Rosen
How did he. Why did he need a big brother? Like, how was he in this program?
Adam Carolla
His dad, he had a mom, he had two sisters, and I think an adopted kid named Gabe from, like, Guatemala or something. The dad was around, but he was in Africa, so it was a little out of range. And he was in Kenya. He was a white dude who was in Kenya there for some. I don't know what business he was there on. I don't know what he did officially, but he lived in Kenya full time. And so his dad wasn't around and I guess his mom just signed him up. I thought I was going to get a little black kid or something. Yeah, I got a white kid. Yeah.
Alison Rosen
How weird.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. Anyway, good guy, find him. Find him one of these days. He's never, never reached out to me. He's never found me. He's never tracked me down. He's never, never done the thing. I mean, we will.
Alison Rosen
Well, we'll know if he listens to the podcast or not. If he contacts you after this.
Adam Carolla
He's a computer guy. One thing I told him is, listen, you're. You're shit student, focus on computers. I mean, this is circa 1993. Like, I was like, look, man, he's like, I'm gonna go to junior college and then I'm gonna transfer. And I'm like. I said, listen, you're a bad student, but you're good at computers. And I think people are gonna be using computers in the future, so. But again, we didn't know shit, you know, 92, 93, no one had a cell phone. No one had a laptop. You know, it wasn't. You think of it. Internet, not really up and running too much. So it wasn't a given. But I was like, you like computers? I think computers are going to be part of the future. And you're a crappy student, and you going to junior college for two years and wasting everyone's time is not going to make you a better student. So why don't you go to a computer school, focus on computers, and then a year from now, you'll be making 30 bucks an hour. Instead of three years from now, you'll graduate junior college, you'll be making nothing. So I think he went to computer school. And he sort of focused on computers. And next thing you know, he was like 21, 22. And he had a good gig and he had a girlfriend and that was it. That was yesterday's news. And also, you know, he needed me back then, you know, but then once he had money in his pocket and a little.
Alison Rosen
I feel like he used you, Adam.
Adam Carolla
A little groping going on. I didn't. You know, the thing with me is I wasn't doing it to make friends, you know, I mean, I was, you know, I was 28 or 29. I wasn't. I want to hang out with a 12 year old, you know.
Alison Rosen
That's because you're not a molester.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, I didn't want to hang out by the fucking kid. Taco Bell. I just did it because it seemed like the right thing to do and like, I was a good candidate for it and I wasn't. I didn't have my own kids. I didn't have a lot of responsibilities and I got. I honestly would have never done it if I didn't get sort of sucked into it. We used to do the Christmas show every year at the church, you know, and actually the church actually churched at Uncle Frank. Where his ceremony was at is where we do our Christmas show. Because like I said, Paul's wife did this for a living and she would call her husband's group to come do the whatever. And that's what happened. So I got sucked into it. But then I liked it. You know, once I got into it, I liked it, but it was like.
Alison Rosen
And then this kid just dropped me.
Adam Carolla
Dropped me. Yeah, he lived on the west side. The only part that's. It sucked. He lived on the west side. And I lived in La Crescenta. And I drove a piece of shit Isuzu Trooper with like no air conditioning, like on the highway, you know. Four Banger.
Alison Rosen
It's like a long distance relationship.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. So a lot of the sleepover stuff wasn't just sexual. A lot of it was just out of range. I got a nice bus. I don't feel like driving you home. He calls me.
Alison Rosen
Yeah, no, it forced you guys to go faster than you would have normally because of the distance.
Adam Carolla
Moving along. Moving along. Yeah.
Alison Rosen
So did you keep stuff at his place?
Adam Carolla
He'd sleep over and hang out and, you know. You know, the thing that was good about it is you would find yourself doing things you would never do. Like, I went to the beach all the time with him because it was free. And you just start thinking of free. I had no Money. So I was like, we're gonna get up on Sunday, and we're gonna get up early, and we're gonna go to Taco Bell, and then we're going to the beach, and then we're going up to the mountains, and we're gonna go up to Pepperdine and go walk around up at the church and look at the view, and you just find yourself doing things. Whereas normally putts around in my sweatpants till noon, beat off and take a nap. See what I'm saying?
Alison Rosen
When did you find time to do that?
Adam Carolla
That's my point.
Giovanni
Yeah, it's come full circle.
Adam Carolla
Now I'm making up for it. Mm.
Alison Rosen
All right, that's the news. I'm Alison Rosen. I'm better than that. And also, zip it, cunt.
Adam Carolla
All right, there you go.
Giovanni

Giovanni
Good song.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. Good songwriter, good artist. And her husband, Michael Penn. Yeah, that guy screwed up once and called him. Who's the other Penn?
Giovanni
They're Sean Penn.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, that's Sean Penn.
Alison Rosen
Bj.
Giovanni
Chris Penn from Reservoir Dogs.
Adam Carolla
BJ Penn's a mixed martial artist. Chris. I called her husband Chris, but after Chris had died. Bad times. Yeah, Chris, Ben. Only guy I went out and had a pop with after Loveline.
Alison Rosen
The only one.
Adam Carolla
The only time, where the show ended at midnight and a guy, a guest, said, let's go get a Drink. And I went like, yeah, all right. And he said, there's a cop bar down the streets. Yeah, yeah, that's it.
Giovanni
Culver City Cop bar in Washington.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. I don't know why they need bars for cops, but yeah, I thought they put people behind bars. Oh, good, good one, Ace, man. So we went to this cop bar and got drunk. I mean buzzed. I mean buzz driving, you know how it goes.
Alison Rosen
Yeah. And you had a pop.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. So I just like the idea. I like the idea of a guy goes to a bar and get drunk. I never, I get drunk at a restaurant or I get drunk at home, but I'm good. I just go to a bar on a weeknight and get drunk. And it was after midnight when we went, all right, it's been a while, let's go get drunk.
Giovanni
Tommy Lee took us there. I don't think you were there, but he took the crew. There you go. Bought us all drinks.
Adam Carolla
I do. There was something to that. Yeah, I do remember that.
Alison Rosen
Looks like San Francisco.
Giovanni
That's not it.
Adam Carolla
That's not it.
Alison Rosen
Maybe that is San Francisco then.
Adam Carolla
Amazon. By the way, speaking of San Francisco and other parts unknown, our Amazon affiliate program now expanded out to the. It says here the uk. I gotta look into that. Oh, the uk. That's why it's capitalized. And someplace called Canadia. So if you're in Canada or. It's not a yeast infection. Yeah, it is. If you're in Canada or the UK and you want to support the show, go to the website and hit the Amazon link on our site. Find the links under the Support the show tab. So thank you. And of course out here in the good old U.S. of A. Well, you're doing it anyway. God bless you. All right, should we go to the phones?
Alison Rosen
Yes.
Adam Carolla
What do we got up there? Anything we like? By the way, live stand up shows, December 1st through the 4th. Philly, Detroit, Chicago, Denver. Coming to you, baby. Let's see, does the one give me one or three?
Alison Rosen
Yeah, three is what they want to give me.
Adam Carolla
Three. All right, good. Let's go with two. Favorite part of doing the show, Mike.
Alison Rosen
Oh, you really did go to two.
Adam Carolla
I did. All right. I don't want to be mean. Let's go to three. Nick.
Caller
Ace, man. Get it on.
Adam Carolla
What's going on much?
Caller
How you guys doing?
Adam Carolla
Good. What's your question?
Caller
Alright, so here's the deal. I'm 29, I've got a decent job. I think I'm a looking guy and I've had a few girlfriends the last few Years. But bottom line is I've never met anyone who I absolutely could have seen myself with the rest of my life. Yeah, and you know, my parents had a great marriage. My older brother's married. I mean, there's two aspects of it, really. One, I love coming home to my own place, which is quiet and empty.
Kevin Nealon
And it's really nice.
Caller
But on the other hand, I kind of. I kind of want to be with somebody. But like I said, I'm not going to force it.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, well, obviously now everything's gotten pushed back. You know, 29 is really. I swear to God, it's like being 19, 20 years ago, maybe 30 years ago.
Giovanni
Except he's in the south. Everyone, all his friends are married by now, I'm guessing. What do you think, Nick?
Caller
No, you're right, Brian. And not only. I used to go to weddings. Now my friends are having kids and I feel like I'm a little behind.
Alison Rosen
You need to move.
Adam Carolla
You'll feel better when they start getting divorced in the next few months, number one. Number two, as I figured out from going to Mike August bachelor party, you got to make a deal with your friends, or at least establish your friends. Like this. I'm gonna get married at 25. Good. I'm gonna get married at 30. Good. I'm gonna marry at 35. Good. I'm getting married at 40. Because you can nothing better going to a bachelor party in your 40s.
Giovanni
Stagger that shit.
Adam Carolla
Yes, Stagger it out.
Alison Rosen
Like I'm bringing the napkins.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. The worst thing you can do is meet a bunch of dudes. All get married in like the same two year span where you're like, oh, fuck, another bachelor party. I'm burnt out from the last one.
Alison Rosen
Plus there won't be as good gifts.
Giovanni
There's a sweet spot in your 20s. The bachelor parties are great because you're able to party longer. And, you know, it's just. You're wilder and crazier, but you got to wait. If you wait past your twenties, wait until your forties like you said, because that's when you're making real money. And you can do a crazy bachelor party because in your 30s, you just get tired early. You know, midnight comes around, you're like.
Adam Carolla
I'm going to bed.
Alison Rosen
I've been up to three bachelor party since last year.
Adam Carolla
Nick, you don't need to get married. You got 10 years if you want by these standards.
Alison Rosen
I also think that it has to do with not having met the right person. I mean, I know that they say that with and you can say, whether you agree with this or not, that with guys, it's when you hit that time of your life and whoever you're with at that time. However, I think that, you know, marriage is just an abstract notion until you're with someone that you really think you could marry.
Adam Carolla
Mm. There's a couple. Couple things. You know, for me, it's always really been about the family part, because otherwise you're just living with somebody. And you can live with somebody, but it's the kids. The relationship really sort of has a meaning when you have kids. Because if you really think about it biologically, just living together with somebody doesn't make any sense. I mean, there's no biological mandate, let's put it to you that way.
Alison Rosen
Well, the need for spooning.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, that's what I'm saying. I mean, it all depends how you're wired. And obviously from Top Gun, I got the need. The need for spooning.
Giovanni
I'll take that again.
Adam Carolla
So. No, but if you think about it from just a purely sort of natural nature, biological standpoint, you can live in that apartment over there. I can live in this apartment over here. We can fuck in my apartment or your apartment, and we can go to a movie on Saturday night, and you can sleep over and I can sleep over, and this shit can go on for a thousand years.
Alison Rosen
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
When you have kids, then that whole mama thing and daddy thing, it really just kicks into overdrive. Other than that, you're kind of living together and maybe you're in love and maybe you're deeply in love, but you're still just. You're hanging out in the same house versus hanging out in the same restaurant and then back in the same apartment. But it's the kids thing that really kicks in. So my feeling with marriage is do it about the time of your life that you're thinking about kids. Because other than that, I feel like you get married just to hang out eight years with somebody under the same roof, it's like, it's fine, but it doesn't. There's no need to get married for that. It's like. I don't know. It's like, you don't need to pass the bar if you're not going to practice law.
Alison Rosen
Yes.
Adam Carolla
Took me a minute to do that one. I've lived with people in my life, and it was sort of pointless. I mean, it was mostly just based on economics. Like, it was just like, I can't afford to keep my apartment if you're gonna keep your apartment. I fucking hate my Roommate. He's a douchebag. Like, oh, your roommate's a cunt. All right, why don't we look great on a Hallmark card? But, yeah, your roommate's a douchebag, and my roommate's a cunt. Why don't we get together and save some money? It was a lot of that. And the next thing you know, you're on top of each other and arguing way too much. But, boy, when you have kids, pow. Like, it all comes into focus. Like, oh, I get it now. That's what mama does. Know what I'm saying?
Alison Rosen
I do. The thought I had was, God, what if it doesn't, though? What if you have kids and then, pow. You can't stand each other? That would suck.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. But at that point, it's not about you anymore. It's not about how much fun you're having or how exciting this is. It becomes about the kids. I don't mean you build your world around them, but you start thinking, all right, we got a job. It's sort of a job to do here. Now we're parents now we're not just hanging around, fucking and having a good time.
Alison Rosen
Like, I like you guys, but if we weren't doing a podcast, I'd never be around you.
Adam Carolla
That's my point. Hey, Mike. Hey, Mark. Yeah, what's going on?
Caller
What's up? This is Mark.
Adam Carolla
Mark, you're on the phone with Adam and Allison and bald Brian. Pleasure.
Caller
Pleasure.
Adam Carolla
Great to speak to you.
Caller
Basically, this is my. This is my thing. So I live in North Hollywood, actually.
Adam Carolla
And where do you live?
Caller
What's that?
Adam Carolla
Where do you live in North Hollywood?
Caller
Oxnard and Laurel Canyon.
Adam Carolla
I take it you're a virgin.
Caller
Pretty Mexican, a lot of quinceaneras. I'm the only white boy on the block. But I'm trying to get this money and move up in the hills with you.
Adam Carolla
My dad lived on Vantage street, right off of. Right off of Laurel, there. One street in from Laurel, off of Oxnard. Oh, what a shitbox. That was the house he bought new for $15,000 in 1976.
Alison Rosen
The one that you bought from him on your show?
Adam Carolla
No, that was a palace. This was a. A frame shack. $15,000 in the 70s.
Alison Rosen
Wow.
Adam Carolla
In the city. I mean, in the Valley, at least. But $15,000, that was the entire. What? The cost.
Alison Rosen
What's a down payment? Like a quarter?
Adam Carolla
You just go to your car and get what's in the ashtray. It's a realtor. She's like, whatever's in the ashtray. Good yeah, yeah.
Alison Rosen
Some loose tobacco.
Adam Carolla
Yeah.
Alison Rosen
And a paperclip.
Adam Carolla
Hold on. I'm picturing Laurel and Oxnard, right? Yeah, it's fucking depressing. You live in one of those shitty apartments there.
Caller
Yeah, they make me crack up. Yeah, man, it's like, it's cool. Like the price is cool, but it's just like. It's like.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, I know, the price is pinatas, the ranchero music.
Caller
It's ridiculous.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. Hey, you can't judge a wonderful culture who loves horrible, horrible music and paint schemes on their houses. Go ahead.
Caller
Okay, so here's my deal. Yes, I've been like online chatting.
Adam Carolla
Oh, wow, man. Hold on. Go down. Yeah, no, we're spinning around that we're up on the virtual whatever.
Alison Rosen
Really close to a gas station.
Adam Carolla
Go down, go down. Go down Oxnard and then make a right on vantage. Show you my dad. I know, it's bad.
Giovanni
Not good pod.
Adam Carolla
Bad pod. Sorry, go ahead.
Caller
Yeah, so I've been chatting with this girl in San Francisco and we've been having phone sex and everything.
Adam Carolla
And I'm like, that's my dad. Straight.
Alison Rosen
That looks like an alley.
Adam Carolla
I know it looks like an alley. And my dad's house is on the right with that weird gate, that weird white gate in front of it. Oh, it's beautiful. Yeah, nice. That is a nice dirt alley there.
Alison Rosen
I think there's the little metal lions on the gate though, as if it's a palace.
Adam Carolla
That's not my dad's house, is one's behind it. But the point is, is this street is the street that time forgot. Like, there's no sidewalks. It has never been paved. Like, take a look at this street. I swear to God, there's dinosaur in it. I mean, there's dirt. I mean, there's dirt all over the side of the road, right? Like, what. What year is this? What's going on?
Alison Rosen
Yeah, I don't know. Indoor plumbing.
Adam Carolla
That's my dad's house. Is fucking dirt driveway. It's a dirt front lawn, everything. It's fucking Mexico.
Alison Rosen
Telling people to go there. Involve a lot of like. Now turn left when you see this, right when you pass. I know, I know. It doesn't look like a street.
Adam Carolla
Oh, wait, hold on. There's mattresses out on the street, by the way. You should see what it looked like in 1975 when I lived there. And it was much worse than it is. This is the new and improved version of it. And no, I didn't tell anyone to come to my house. Yeah, I didn't want to Go there.
Alison Rosen
Well, that's like Mark, he's having phone sex with a girl in San Francisco.
Adam Carolla
Huh?
Alison Rosen
He's having phone sex with a girl in San Francisco and he wants to know if he should meet her. Not at your place.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, it's not gonna be good. Jesus Christ. I'm really getting. I'm severely depressed. I'm becoming severely. I'm traumatized. I'm traumatized. It's like Vietnam vet hearing choppers coming at this point now I am fucking traumatized. I don't know what's up with the street. If you go past the street, if you keep. Keep going down the street, you'll see that every other street has been paved. And just keep going up the street. You'll see the new pavement. You'll see the new pavement start. Keep going, keep going. Strips, good pot. There it is. As soon as you get past my dad's street, everything gets paved and everything gets new and everything gets green. But it's like. It's some kind of weird thing where it's like a Corolla lived here. Fuck it. And at some point, look, that's what the. That's what the rest of the neighborhood looks like. And then you go to my dad street, it's like. It's like at some point there's some city planning thing and somebody said, let's send some steamrollers. And then when Corollas live there. No fucking way, right? I mean, that's what the rest of the neighborhood looks normal. And my dad's fucking. It's like some kind of weird. It's like one of those. It's like one of those.
Alison Rosen
The ground's been salted or something. Nothing good can happen there.
Adam Carolla
Some kind of weird, like, roadside homage to my pieces house in my dad's fucking $15,000 house in North Hollywood. Yeah.
Giovanni
I think we'll get to the point where people know when Google Earth is coming through the neighborhood and like, pick.
Alison Rosen
And they're like, hey, do you have a BMW? Could you park it on this street? Yeah, because there was a BMW on that street along with the dumpster.
Adam Carolla
Well, there, see, look, there's. There's the rest of the neighborhood. Brand new paved street. There's my dad's street, and by the way, the street behind it and the street in front of it, it's all fucking brand new except for one street. And there's just dirt where the sidewalks are.
Alison Rosen
You know what they say, choose the worst street on the best neighborhood.
Adam Carolla
That was the shittiest, shittiest, most fucked up street in the fucking San Fernando Valley.
Alison Rosen
I feel unsafe just looking at pictures.
Adam Carolla
I was scared shitless sleeping in the fucking attic of that house.
Alison Rosen
Yeah.
Giovanni
One mattress on the road, by the way.
Adam Carolla
Multiple mattresses. Yeah.
Alison Rosen
Yeah. It's like someone was cleaning out a flop house.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. Anyway, welcome to Mexico, everyone. Yeah. Turn down the dirt alley. That was. That was. That was my view. I stared out the fucking window at night at a dirt alley.
Alison Rosen
Yeah, pretty.
Adam Carolla
Anyway, again, slice of old Mexico, right? North Hollywood.
Alison Rosen
So, Mark, are you. You're having phone sex with her or you're chatting online?
Adam Carolla
Who cares? I'm depressed now.
Caller
Nah, nah. Like, let me know. Adam, you don't want to talk about it now?
Adam Carolla
Look, meet someone is. Well, not from North Hollywood, but, you know, move up to Valley Village or something, would you? No, no. Come on, man. That's the next move. Have you seen this girl?
Caller
Yeah, I mean, yeah, yeah, she's cool. Like, she's a Russian girl. She lives in San Francisco. I'm just trying to follow my excitement, you know, I'm like. I like to explore. Like, I'm down for whatever. Like, just what's the point of life, Right?
Adam Carolla
All right, well, don't go. Don't get anyone pregnant, that's all.
Alison Rosen
Don't get killed.
Adam Carolla
I don't know if I trust the Russian chicks.
Alison Rosen
I don't know if I trust this guy. I'm trusting his excitement also.
Adam Carolla
It kind of sounds like the one Backstreet Boy who's got some street cred.
Alison Rosen
Oh, yeah. A.J. or something.
Adam Carolla
Well, remember when you start a boy band?
Alison Rosen
Yeah. You have to have the tough one.
Adam Carolla
You have the pretty guy and then you got to have the other guy and then there's the other. Then you gotta have this sort of Wahlberg. Donnie Wahlberg type.
Alison Rosen
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
Like there should be the one white guy who's the tough dude because he's got some facial hair and torn jeans.
Alison Rosen
Yeah, I know, exactly.
Adam Carolla
He's got a little wigger in him. Yeah, that's what that guy was. That's finely groomed facial hair. Yeah, yeah. So you got the. You got the ladies. You got the ladies, man.
Alison Rosen
One man's pass.
Adam Carolla
You got the kid, the one that sort of man boy, you know, like this sort of 14 year old.
Alison Rosen
Right, the Joey McIntyre.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, the Joey McIntyre. Right. You got the one that's sort of awkward and shy and say, saving himself, Jonathan Knight for marriage.
Alison Rosen
And then you have clear braces.
Adam Carolla
Then you have to have the weird wigger guy who is not really. He's.
Alison Rosen
I think it's AJ.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. Everyone else in the band's like 140 pounds and you're 148 pounds, but you do some curls and you cut the sleeves off your leather jacket and you got. And that's your thing.
Alison Rosen
Yeah, right. Yeah, everyone has a thing.
Giovanni
That's his facial hair, but not too much.
Adam Carolla
Not too much on the chin, maybe.
Giovanni
Yeah, just along the jaw.
Adam Carolla
That's him. He's keeping it real.
Alison Rosen
So it was AJ in the Backstreet Boys. Who was it in NSync?
Adam Carolla
BJ, Chris Pack?
Giovanni
I mean, I have no idea.
Adam Carolla
I don't know.
Alison Rosen
Look at you.
Adam Carolla
All right. And don't get me going on 98 degrees. Line four. Let's see.
Alison Rosen
Wes, Nick, Lachey.
Adam Carolla
I don't know what's going on.
Caller
Not much.
Adam Carolla
You got a question?
Caller
Yeah. I've been seeing this girl for coming on about three years now. And when I got into it, I knew she was. She was like, fucked up, whatever. And she's always had this, like, threat of suicide looming over. And she always says stuff like, you know, if this ever ends, you know, I think I couldn't take it.
Adam Carolla
And like, I know for that reason.
Caller
But I also just have this deep fear of like, you know, pushing her to that or something like that.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, my girlfriend tempted before she's done.
Caller
Like the attempt that was just for attention, you know, like taking enough pills to scare somebody but not enough to kill.
Adam Carolla
Mm. Yeah. All right. The cry for help versus the jumping off the bridge.
Caller
Right?
Adam Carolla
Right. Yeah. What is the root of her deep seated problems?
Caller
Some daddy issues or something like that.
Adam Carolla
I mean, any real abuse?
Caller
Apparently there was a next door neighbor or something, but I mean, it's like she seems almost like she's trying to do it for attention, but.
Adam Carolla
I don't.
Caller
Know, I mean, I feel like I should get out, but I'm also like, I'm just like teetering on that.
Adam Carolla
All right. Nice to deal with this a lot. When I did love life. There's a lot of people out there that are pretty good and fucked up. And also when you're 21, 22, you're fucked up and you're gonna be fucked up at 43, but hopefully at some point at 33, you start getting some therapy, maybe a little medication, start getting a little Tai chi or something, and you mellow out a little bit and then it's kind of okay to date at that point. That's right. That pan flute fires up.
Alison Rosen
Oh, yeah, zombie.
Adam Carolla
And you're fine at this point. You ain't gonna do a whole Lot to change in this person. And as a 23 year old dude or 22 year old dude, you're ill equipped. You got nothing. I mean, I was pretty psychologically sophisticated for 22 year old and I still didn't know shit about shinola. I knew nothing. So.
Alison Rosen
Plus, short of a therapist, someone, there's nothing another human being can't really do anything for you.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, I really feel bad when I sort of tell people to just kind of cut bait with these people, but you're not gonna cure someone who's that fucked up. And.
Alison Rosen
But what about the idea that she is threatening suicide if they break up? I mean, how does.
Adam Carolla
Hey, Wes. Yeah, you need to say to her at least. And I'll just pair it with. Dr. Drew would say any suicide talk or attempt is to be taken seriously. And you're just gonna call 911? Yeah, like if she calls and goes, I don't know what I'm gonna do. You're like, I'm gonna hang up and call 911 right now and have whatever paramedics dispatch to your house. Because I have to take this seriously. I have to take this as if you're going to make an attempt on your life. That's gonna be your posture in this whole thing. But if you want out, you get out. And if she threatens, then you tell her. Any threat you make will be followed up with me hanging up the phone and then calling 91 1. All right.
Caller
All right, thanks a lot.
Adam Carolla
Thanks. Take care, Wes. Still depressed about thinking about killing myself because of my dad's voice. All right, how bad was that street? There's just dirt on the side. Dirt and mattresses. Fucking. Oh, if I had airstrike, napalm. Boom. Gone.
Giovanni
Rich man, poor man.
Adam Carolla
No sidewalks, no sidewalks. Yeah, that's good. Yeah, yeah, yeah. This one didn't run into a golf course. It ran into dirt and a guy was napping. All right, let's see. This guy's dad's addicted to online porn. I like the cut of his chin. Jason, how dare you? Hey, how you doing there? Hey, man, look, if you're gonna watch Bruce, watch the Internet. Jason. Go ahead.
Caller
Hey, how you doing there?
Adam Carolla
Good.
Caller
So here's the problem I got. I got. My dad retires about two years ago.
Adam Carolla
Mm.
Caller
He's got a good pension. You know, he's doing all right. He's got enough to take care of himself. All of a sudden, he's borrowing money from me. I can't figure out what the fuck's going on. And so I Live in San Diego. The rest of my family lives in South Florida. I hear from my sister that the reason my dad has no money is he's blowing everything by not only looking at online porn, but he's buying it, which is also a little embarrassing.
Adam Carolla
Hold on, hold on, Jason. This is a bogus call. Brian. I wish you weren't a liar. Going bogus. I just wish you weren't a liar. Yeah. Going bogus. Jason.
Caller
I got my dad. He's in his mid-60s. He can barely figure out how to use a computer.
Alison Rosen
Then how's he buying it?
Adam Carolla
Okay, I'm sick of all your lies, Jason. Yes, please, please. You must adhere to the Marquis of Queensberry rules of bogus calls. When I call bogus. If it's bogus, you have to admit it's bogus. Yes?
Caller
Not at all.
Adam Carolla
Shut your mouth, you dirty liar.
Caller
I wish it were.
Adam Carolla
All right, dear sir, I will continue with this call. You're such a lawyer. First off, I've seen those. I can't sign up for any of that online porn because all my fucking statements go through my. Tony Reed's office. So I can't.
Giovanni
That's laughing, because I know Tony. What is Adam? What is this?
Adam Carolla
Every once in a blue moon, he gets sent a weird box from somewhere that's not supposed to be sent to his house. You know what I mean? Best of Swedish erotica. 49 shows up at his fucking place. I have to go get it from his secretary.
Giovanni
He spent 15 seconds describing Tony Reed, so it's funnier to the audience. He's the most mild manner.
Adam Carolla
This guy I went to high school with, like, nice guy. I don't want my statements going through Hammers. His girl, this. You know, this woman. I can't do anything. You know, I've. God knows I've been.
Alison Rosen
Linda.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, Linda. I've been on the road and seen those things where it's like, hey, $4 for two days of this website. And they're like, I'm out of. I'm on the road for three days. I got four bucks. I don't give a. About four bucks into the machine. I'll talk about this. I'll give you $40 worth of 12. I'll give you two 20s right now for two hours. But I can't have the fucking card going through the thing. And I don't know what to do with the thing. And I don't wanna. This should just be like a debit porn card or something.
Alison Rosen
Like a Kinko's card. You should be able to fill it up.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. Like, we will get phone cards and like that. Yeah, I gotta look into that.
Alison Rosen
Ask this guy's dad.
Adam Carolla
Anyway, how much can you spend on that? It's really. It seems like a heart. Is it now? Unless you're doing on, like, you're. You're. You're talk. Your dad's talking to people.
Caller
No, I think he's just buying videos. I think he's buying everything.
Adam Carolla
No, DVDs are practically free now.
Giovanni
Parental truth is that if you're in your 60s, maybe you're of the generation that's like, oh, I must buy these things. Hard copies.
Adam Carolla
Gotta make hay while the sun shines.
Giovanni
Hard copies, dude.
Adam Carolla
No, but it's online. Yeah, online.
Caller
He understands the concepts of streaming.
Alison Rosen
Well, then what's he buying?
Caller
To buy everything.
Adam Carolla
I know, but those movies are, you know, they're 14 bucks. I mean, I don't know.
Alison Rosen
Well, just show him one of those free sites. If this is real and you want to keep your money.
Adam Carolla
You're 36.
Caller
And not have that conversation with him.
Adam Carolla
I can't have your sister do it.
Alison Rosen
Listen, she seems to know what's going on.
Adam Carolla
If this is true, he's essentially addicted to this stuff. And there must be some kind of intervention that I will definitely not be attending.
Caller
I can't attend that either. There's no way I could attend that.
Adam Carolla
All right. All right. I don't know. Then you got to get a raise. That's. That's really. That's the only cure to this. That's all I can do. All right, one more. Is that Kershaw?
Alison Rosen
Kershaw, Maybe.
Adam Carolla
Kershell, yes.
Caller
Kershaw.
Adam Carolla
What's going on, Kershell?
Caller
Nothing. I just wanted to let you know that I am one of your female blacklist listeners out here in Maryland.
Adam Carolla
Black female listener.
Caller
Yes.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, yeah. No, we had three, but one lost, actually. Sizzling. Lost a leg to diabetes. And Nichilla was claimed by sickle cell last year. Kiss my fat ass. So you're it, baby.
Caller
Okay, I'll save it.
Adam Carolla
Phil Henry Bennett says that's Phil Henry's job. But Nichella is an actual name of a black chick that my buddy Doug DeLuca went to high school with in New Jersey. Christ. Sorry. Wait a minute.
Alison Rosen
Kershaw.
Adam Carolla
Kershaw. Yeah. Sorry. What's going on? Where do you live? Maryland. I live in Maryland.
Caller
Yes.
Adam Carolla
And you're my. You're my one black female listener. How'd you catch. How'd you get on to me?
Caller
Just browsing through podcasts on what to Listen to. And I started listening to you while I was working a couple years ago. And now I have your app and I see you pretty much every day.
Adam Carolla
I'm gonna say something subtly racist. Hey, I defended Herman Cain.
Alison Rosen
That's great.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, that's as subtly racist. Like when you talk to black guys and you say man a lot. Hey, man. All right, man. And then over under on me, weaving in David Alan Greer's 18.3 seconds. David, Alex Greer is just on the show. You know David. Oh, you don't? Well, he's black too, but I hear.
Caller
Him on your show.
Adam Carolla
Oh, he's awesome. Isn't he? Man.
Alison Rosen
You'Re definitely down with the black people, Adam.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. Hey, man.
Kevin Nealon
Sup?
Adam Carolla
You sound hot.
Caller
I do. Thank you.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. You good looking?
Caller
I think so.
Adam Carolla
How much trouble is the hair being a black woman?
Caller
You know, funny, I just stopped relaxing and went natural, so it's a lot more trouble than it was last year.
Adam Carolla
Oh, well, it's trouble to relax, right?
Caller
It is. But it's even more trouble to not relax.
Adam Carolla
Well, what's it look like now? Cheryl from Good Times. Like how she wore her hair?
Caller
Pretty much. I have like a poofy fro.
Adam Carolla
I kind of like Adam. Here's the thing. Like me. Yeah. The thing about the poofy fro is the poofy fro, when you're really cute works, but outside of that, it's tough. It's a tough sell.
Caller
But then nice smiles. I think it kind of goes along with the poofy fro. I'm just tired of it every day.
Adam Carolla
I was just picturing the poofy fro and the smile. I really was. The cute smile and the poofy fro is a nice, nice combo. It's a little uncle Tomboy, you know, it's got a little tomboy, but a little black tomboy.
Alison Rosen
He's sassy as well.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. I don't know what they call the black tomboy. I gotta have a name. Yeah, we'll work that out. All right. Yeah. Anyway, I like that. What do you do for a living?
Caller
Actually, I work at an animal hospital.
Adam Carolla
Nice. Rescuing those animals.
Caller
So I listen to you and your. Your worries with your dog, and I understand.
Adam Carolla
Jesus Christ.
Caller
Part of me didn't want to dog too. I mean, I'm not as expensive as.
Adam Carolla
Your dog, but now stuff. Now, by the way, it's a $3,000 eye surgery that may or may not work, by the way. Yeah. I would love being a fucking veterinarian.
Caller
Oh, they make lots of money.
Adam Carolla
I know, it's got to be great, because I should have brought this. I should have brought this when I was a carpenter. I should have done this like, hey, man, I'm gonna be hanging that front door. It's gonna be about three grand. It doesn't always work. I'm being upfront with you right now.
Alison Rosen
Sometimes I have to destroy the whole house.
Adam Carolla
It won't latch. The deadbolt won't line up. It won't stay shut. So I'm just telling. I'm telling you right now. So here's the way this can go. You can have. If you don't love your house, you have no front door. Or I can come in and hang a front door for $3,000, but no guarantees. No guarantees. Or I may hang the front door and it may not work. And for another two grand, I'll try it again, but there'll be no guarantees about that either. And then there'll be no. When I leave and your front door doesn't work, there'll be no, like, you calling me and asking for your money back.
Alison Rosen
Right.
Adam Carolla
So those are your options. What do you think?
Caller
I've been there, and I have to tell people stuff like that all the time, which is a little difficult.
Adam Carolla
But do you know my new plan? How many dogs you figure you put down a week over at your facility.
Caller
Because it's an emergency facility? It's more just because we see the most urgent or deathly cases. So it is a higher percentage per se than, like, a general vet.
Adam Carolla
And what do you. So what do you think? One or two, three or four? How many a week would you say?
Caller
It can be as much as 10.
Adam Carolla
10 a week.
Caller
During the holidays, it goes up.
Adam Carolla
Sure.
Caller
People are home, and they kind of realize, oh, everyone's home. Let's go and do it while the kids are home from college and that sort of thing.
Adam Carolla
Chrishell, tell me from an etiquette standpoint what you think of this, because this something I was floating with Dag the other day where I'd just come down to your facility down there, Marilyn. I'd hang out, and then when somebody had to say goodbye to their Labrador, you know, nine years or 14 years, they. And you. You do that thing where you give them a moment alone, right?
Caller
Yeah. Some people don't take it.
Adam Carolla
I would. I would wait for the person that took it, and I'd let them get about four minutes in, and I'd be like. And they'd be like, doctor. I'd be like, no. And they'd open the door and Go. Yeah. What's the dog's name? Dog's name is Snowball. Got a couple minutes with her? Oh, him? Yeah. Or him? Who are you? Let's make this about Snowball. Focus on me right now. I just have a couple minutes with the dog. I love dogs, too. And then I'd come in and I'd go, do you mind? And see if they cleared out and just see what the fuck reaction they had. I think I could get most people to clear out while I had a few minutes with their dog.
Alison Rosen
Sure, yeah.
Caller
Yeah, you probably could. And there's some people who do get a little closer to other clients because they're kind of in an emotional state.
Adam Carolla
They do. I just had the greatest tragedy that was going on. I said the greatest, sickest joke either. And then I would walk out of the room sipping my fly up, going, yeah. Anyone got a Gatorade or some Pedialyte? I got some electrolytes in me. Anyway, she's all yours. I mean, he's all yours. Oh, whatever. Oh, we can notice. Oh, boy, you're doing God's work. You really are with that poodle esque hair of yours. What's your question? Does he have a question?
Caller
I do, but I've had like a great talk with you. My question is, I started dating a guy about a year ago, lived about an hour away. And not that he's given any reason for me to believe that he's being unfaithful. Our schedules just don't seem to match up. We never get to spend any time together as often for the last two months. And then. And he also spends time with like, his friends. He goes, I was like, oh, yeah, I went out Saturday night with my buddies. But yet he didn't call me out.
Adam Carolla
An hour away. He's an hour away.
Caller
He's an hour away.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. I have found this when it comes to relationships. When somebody says, well, he's working a lot so he doesn't have time for dating, or he's an hour away, or when a guy wants to be with somebody, he will be with somebody.
Alison Rosen
And if for some reason he can't, he'll let you know because he doesn't want you to think that he doesn't want to be with somebody. Right.
Adam Carolla
And he.
Caller
Yeah, that talks about reassuring me, but it's just like one of those things where it's like you get to talk and you're still.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, but how long, how long you been with him?
Caller
We started. He didn't get serious until about three months ago. Like We've been seeing each other since last year.
Adam Carolla
Also, the thing where. Well, we saw each other for about a year, but we saw other people, too, or we weren't really serious, and then we kind of got serious. That's another weird thing, too. Like, man, when you know, you know. And I'm not talking about Tom Hanks movies from the 90s, but I just mean when you into somebody, you're into someone, you don't hang out for six months and then get into it. Yeah, I. I like you a lot, Kershaw, and I just think. You know what? I think you can do better. And I don't see this one ending in marriage and kids and all that stuff. And you're 32 and it's time to start, really.
Alison Rosen
And let's say you're thinking, he'll come back for you.
Adam Carolla
Yeah.
Alison Rosen
Nothing to lose.
Adam Carolla
It is that kind of thing, that the sort of old adage or joke or whatever at the Rolls Royce dealership, which is, if you have to ask the price, then you don't. You can't afford it. And if you're a year in at 32 and you're kind of going, he doesn't. And I'm not sure. And we don't. And he's not very excited about. And I'm not. If you're asking yourself these questions six months or even three months now that they're serious at this point. If you're asking 32 years of age. Moving on.
Alison Rosen
I agree.
Adam Carolla
Moving on. All righty, then. Goodbye. Go to meeting. Goodbye. Yeah, they got themselves a little mobile app. I don't know if you know how it works, but GoToMeeting brought to you by Citrix, by the way. Most these meetings online. I mean, you sit in your office, everyone else is sitting in your office. You try to do those meetings where everyone's talking into a speakerphone. It is a cluster F. And that's why you need GoToMeeting. You can have attendees join on the computer, your iPad. You can see them. You can see what they're thinking so much. And you do that thing where you just do it over the phone and you have to keep asking if someone dropped off, and then everyone starts talking at once.
Alison Rosen
Who's talking now?
Adam Carolla
I did one of those today where I was like, up, up. They had that thing where two people tried to talk at the same time three times in a row, and then they Both stopped for 10 Mississippi. And then they started again.
Alison Rosen
No, you go, are you there?
Adam Carolla
And then there's a part where you realize you haven't said anything for three minutes and they're going to think you're tuned out. So you jump in with the, aha, I hear you. Lean back again. Or like I said, you hear my agent Jamie, Jamie Baby Doll Dixon saying, light and sweet, baby. Light and sweet. Because he's at the Duncan's in Manhattan. It's down in the middle of Manhattan. He's wearing coffee and donuts while we're on a goddamn phone call. Yep. Anyway. GoToMeeting. They got an app. You can toss it on your iPad. They got one for Android mobile devices too.

Giovanni
