Why have I asked my h vac guy I found on Angie.com to change my grandpa's trachea tube? I was so amazed at how he replaced our air ducts. I knew I could trust him to change Pop Pop's tube.

Show Announcer/Producer
Corolla 1 Studios in Glendale, California. This is the Adam Carolla Show. Adam's guest today, Megyn Kelly. Plus the news with Rudy Pavage. And now, Adam Carolla.
- [02:38]
Adam Carolla
Yeah, get it on Got to get it on no choice but to get on Mandate you get it on. Excited to talk to my friend Megan Kelly, who I just enjoy so much. Good to see you, my dear.
- [02:51]
Megyn Kelly
Hi. It's great to be with you.
- [02:53]
Adam Carolla
Yeah. You know, I appreciate you because I think I've earned that position. I realized growing up that I wasn't appreciated at all by my family or my friends because they weren't really smart enough to appreciate me. You know, it was just like a dog tearing into a box of Cookies. Like, they didn't know if the cookies were good or bad. They were just, you know, just do it. But I think I appreciate you more because I do what I do and I have the intellect that I have. I don't want to sound pompous, but I listen to you and I go, she's really good.
- [03:32]
Megyn Kelly
Oh, I love that. That's the nicest compliment. Well, I feel like we have a good chemistry, and we always have Adam, because we're similar in that way. We both have modest backgrounds. We both got to where we are just by hard work. Not by knowing anybody, not by having any connections, but just like being consumers and students of people and of life. And that's why I love your insights, because you don't, and this is to your credit, you don't dress them up with too much rhetorical flourish. That makes them hard to understand, much in the way Trump is. Right. Like you, you communicate straight and you say exactly what you mean, and you happen to say it very cleverly. And I think I'm not as clever as you are, but I also communicate straight and say exactly what I mean. And so game recognizes game.
- [04:18]
Adam Carolla
Well, you do. Back to the Trump analogy or comparison, you and Trump are both sort of unwitting standup comedians, and that Trump is not a classic standup comedian. And in order to be a stand up comedian, you do need 10,000 hours of repetitions and jokes and stuff like that. But he sort of takes the mic, gets in front of the crowd, and sort of de facto becomes a comedic presence, and you do that. I learned doing the show with you, your live show outside of Atlanta, that when you get up on stage and you're handed the mic, you go into a little of that. All right, it's time to steer a little toward the comedy, because I have this live audience in front of me.
- [05:08]
Megyn Kelly
You definitely feel like that was the first time I'd ever really done a live tour or done a ton of speaking in front of thousands of people where you can see them. You know, obviously, I speak to people every day, but I don't see them. And I do. I did recognize like you do. You have to try when you have the obligation in front of a live audience to try a little harder, to entertain, you know, like, it's not really something I'm all that cognizant of. When I'm doing the news show, though, I am just generally quick to laugh. I love humor. I mean, I, I. The people who I love having on the show, like, you tend to have good senses of humor and be able to deliver it right back to me. But I did. I see what you're saying. Because when you're standing there in front of the people, like, you can't just be a straight, dry news person. You've got to try out of respect for them. Right? Like, you know, they're not really kind of saying, like, dance for me, clown, but they are a little like, hey, I dragged myself out of my house on a rainy Friday night. What do you got?
- [06:05]
Adam Carolla
Yeah, I mean, I guess there's a reason why the concert. They have some pyrotechnics. You know what I mean? Like, well, we're here to hear the band play. Yeah, I know, but we're here. Like, we'd like to see something as well. And, yeah, I started doing live podcasting, like, maybe pioneered it 16 years ago now. And I learned, like, pretty quickly. You can't just get up there and sit and speak in the tone that you would do if you were just doing a podcast alone in your studio or interviewing a serious guest. Like, you had to kind of bring the energy, get up on your feet. But it's a good thing because it's the audience that brings it out and sort of summons it in you. It's not a conscious thing. It's just you're in front of thousands of people and. And you're not consciously thinking, they paid good money. They drove from 11 miles away. I need to up the energy. But there's a little internal clock that says, let's sweat a little. Let's burn a couple calories.
- [07:12]
Megyn Kelly
Well, and Adam, what was so fortunate, at least on the tour, was they were fans of the show. So these are people who are definitely rooting for me. So they were so generous. They were quick to laugh at jokes that weren't really that funny, but they're kind of applauding your effort. We love you for trying. Which is fine. I'll take that, too. You were genuinely funny. You were by far the funniest person I had on stage at all. And that's no insult to my other guests, many of whom were funny. But when you decide to make somebody laugh, they're going to laugh. And you just kept coming one after the other. It was hilarious. I laughed for three days after that. And it was fun because I did. I hadn't seen you kick into that other gear since I. I've never been to a live Adam Carolla standup comedy show. I've never been invited to one. I mean, I hope to be invited to one. Sometime soon. So I can see that in a more half an hour format. But I loved it because it was a whole different gear that you have.
- [08:07]
Adam Carolla
Well, it is interesting and I think people who aren't in entertainment can still. This still applies to you. There is a sort of you watching football with the boys and having some beers mode, and then there's you at Thanksgiving at your in laws house mode. And it's kind of a different mode. And you and I know each other from a setting where we sit and we talk about serious subjects and I complain about Gavin Newsom or California or high taxes on gas or something like that. But that's not an arena filled with 3,000 people. That's you and I having a conversation mode. When I then go out on stage and I'm handed a microphone and there's 3,000 people. Now it's a different mode. And so you never really saw the gear where it's okay, these people paid good money, let's get them laughing gear. But that's the gear from that night.
- [09:07]
Megyn Kelly
I'll tell you one other funny story because with you in front of the audience and you're so naturally funny, it helped me be funnier. But this is not true of everyone because let me tell you, in my world of news, a few years back, I co hosted an event. It was some awards dinner with Bob Costas and it was like a black tie event. And unfortunately, and I didn't know the rule back then, but now I know it was all news people, which is just death in an arena. I mean, it's like, good God, never, you should never say yes to that. Do not stand up in front of a room full of news people and expect it to go well. The bunch of cynical mofos who, if you happen to be from conservative media or on the right at all, hate you already. So unlike Bob, who just kind of got up there and like, the next guest is, and here's the next award. I did try to make them laugh a little, which was a huge mistake. Huge. And then I doubled and tripled down. Like I didn't realize I'm dying. Do what Bob is doing. Don't make any effort. I was like insistent on trying to get a laugh out of these people. I could not get it. It was a progressive humiliation. And at the end of it, all you really kind of want is for somebody to say, like, yeah, that was good. Actually, I was good. It's just like the audience. And instead what I got was, I got was two comments. First, Robin Roberts of ABC News came up to me and said, I get you. I was like, oh. And then my agent, who you know is I'm paying to say nice things to me, comes up and says, I said, I don't think it went that well. Nobody laughed. And she said, onward.
- [10:53]
Adam Carolla
That is in a millisecond, says everything without getting specifically insulting. So I was listening to you earlier today and I was thinking, God, she has something to say. She always has something to say and feels animated by it and energized by it. And then I realized I'm sort of that way. Don't get me started. It's kind of I'll get going on anything. And so I was thinking about you. And then I was also thinking about your environment because you're a pretty blonde in a world where, especially growing up, not a lot of comedians were pretty blonde girls. I had parents that didn't listen, that didn't care, and were kind of checked out. And I grew up in a blue collar environment where they don't put a lot of emphasis on intellect and sense of humor. But at least I was a guy and George Carlin was on TV and I could look at him and go, well, there's a guy. So for you, I imagine you always had something to say. Was the environment hospitable for you as a young person talking?
- [12:12]
Megyn Kelly
Definitely, yes. I think, you know, at our family dinner table, you were required to participate. And my dad, you know, who died too soon, but he would go around and say, what's the report? To each one of us, what's the report? You kind of had to deliver your bit and you would be encouraged to participate. If you weren't participating like that, social skills were being taught. You know, you can't just sit there and ride off of others people, other people's conversation. And then on the humor front, I would say, you know, I do come from a long line of funny women in particular. My nana, who died at 101 back in 2016, was hilarious, and my mom is very funny. Both of them are far funnier than I could ever hope to be. My brother Pete is very funny. So I'm just saying that, like, funny was currency in my family. I was always the worst at it, but you had to have some of it in order to survive. You know, there was too much ribbing and making fun of you and each other. You would, you know, you'd be excommunicated if you didn't try a little. You had to mock somebody, starting with yourself.
- [13:15]
Adam Carolla
And I heard you speaking the other day on your program about growing up as a tomboy. And outside all the time, just sort of playing in the mud and the woods and rolling around in the dirt with short hair and sort of dressing that way as well. I don't think people would picture that of you when they know this version of you. But you did grow up a tomboy.
- [13:41]
Megyn Kelly
Definite tomboy. My favorite picture of myself is of me in jeans and a navy sweatshirt with a boy haircut on a tire swing. And you probably couldn't even tell whether that was a girl or a boy. I'll send it to you. You can lay it in later. And, yeah, I mean, in today's day and age, they totally be trying to trans me, but I am not trans, and I am all girl. And it's just, you know, speaks to a time when you were allowed to grow up and not totally conform to gender roles and nobody was trying to mess with your identity or your actual biological sex reality. Then. Then I will say this, too. Like, I was. I've been focusing a lot this week on these lunatics in Minneapolis and how unattractive they are to a woman. I mean, it's like. It's a. It's like a Karen Intifada that we're watching on the streets of Minneapolis. You and I talked about it, and they're all unattractive. They're, like, very overweight. They. They desperately need some Accutane. I just, like, there's a lot going on there. And I feel like I can say this because while I look fine now, I was also an unattractive woman at some point in my life, especially around, like, the middle school years, like the 7th, 8th, 9th, going into 9th. I. I decided to try harder. But, like, I was overweight. I did have bad acne. I had a big space between my two front teeth, which my dad encouraged me to keep. He was like, lauren Bacall, look at her. This, like, it's kind of a sexy, nice, beautiful thing. I was like, dad. So I got it.
- [15:09]
Adam Carolla
When he said, Lauren Bacall, you should have said Mike Tyson and at least fired back.
- [15:15]
Megyn Kelly
I had no idea who Lauren Bacall was. You know, I was 12. So anyway, I had some issues, there's no question. But my. My experience is you can work on those issues. And then if you get slightly more attractive, your life gets better. It really does. It starts from within. You start to feel better about yourself. You start getting better responses from the outside world, which builds additional confidence. And so I'm not. I'm kind of tongue in cheek on these women, but not totally. Like, I actually do think if they would try a little harder and get a man into their lives, thanks to point 1, they'd be happier and they'd be less likely to be causing havoc on the streets of Minneapolis.
- [15:56]
Adam Carolla
Well, I think about that a lot too and I have a little history with it. Cuz I hosted Loveline for 10 years and I spoke to a lot of like young women who are going through things, you know, mostly weird hatred for the dad. So there's a big problem with the, with the daughters and the dads and they hate their dads. And when women hate their dads, they will take it with them into the future. Future relationships, future situations. I can't tell you how many airports I've gone through in America with a young woman who hated her dad sort of yelling at me about my bag or something. And I'm like, I have no idea why you're angry or what I represent, but I realize I represent her dad essentially. And we're having this exchange. But I'm not a weary passenger who has a first class ticket on your airline. I'm sort of a male figure and I'm white and I'm six foot two and maybe I have some money. So I'm all the things she's been trained to hate. And now I come in and it's payback time for me. And there's an issue with that. Taking all these girls that are sort of dating damaged and have real strong feelings about their dad who may have abandoned them or he may have molested them. And now we put them at the front of all the lines. They're behind the counter at the airline, they're at the security at lax. And now we now a never ending flow of people who remind them of their dads now is coming through. And now they're in charge. They take your shoes off, give me your backpack. But I would just wanna continue this. And the aesthetic department, I believe a lot of these women desecrate themselves. It's not even that they're not trying to look good. They realize that it's too much work and they're never going to look how they want to look. And they're not into being the best version of themselves. But even that best version is still sort of a 6. It's not an 8 or a 10. So instead they aggressively pierce their septum, they dye their hair purple and they put on £50 and, and they literally build a force field around them of people being attracted to them. But they don't even participate. They literally desecrate themselves and take themselves out of the game. Because the truth is they would maybe rejected even when they tried and that would be devastating to them. And now they have an excuse.
- [18:32]
Megyn Kelly
You know how there's like fat camps, whatever. I, I want to create like an attractiveness camp. I really think if you went through my two week attractiveness camp, I could turn your life around. It would take some of my friends, some of my team around me, but I'm telling you, like, it's exactly the opposite of what they're thinking. I, I actually do believe, having spent 14 years at Fox News, you can take anybody. You can take any sow's ear and turn them into a silk purse. I'm telling you, hair and makeup can do a lot.
- [19:01]
Adam Carolla
Yes.
- [19:01]
Megyn Kelly
Not to mention a little wardrobe action. Now, I do like a lot of them. They really are going to have to consider OIC and Accutane. Like I said, you with really poor skin, it's very hard to get somebody to want you. It's just like a sign of ill health. So. But they have Accutane now and it works miracles. And I just think, like, if you can get the skin cleared up, if you can get the teeth in good shape, basic hygiene in terms of like showering and smelling good, and then a thin body is important. You don't have to be a size 2, but you can't be a size 22. You have like 12. We could work with it, you know, but like feeling put together with the right wardrobe and projecting confidence and like a smile and a playfulness toward the opposite sex. These are basics to getting male attraction in your life. The good kind of male attraction and basic male attraction, male attention, male caring, male listening, male dating, male opening a door for you. All of that, of course, culminating and sex with a male is going to make these women feel so much better. Their lives are going to feel great. They're going to have natural euphoria. They're going to feel sexy, which is like, you can't be angry if you feel sexy. Those two things are totally incongruous. And you can see these women haven't felt sexy maybe ever. And on your, on your subject about the women, like the daddy issues, you raise a very good, interesting point. I had never considered, like, the dad is the root of some of what we're watching. But I do know women who are sort of messed up thanks to dad issues. And what I've seen is it also makes them choose the wrong guy over and over. And over and over and over in their love life.
- [20:41]
Adam Carolla
Yes.
- [20:41]
Megyn Kelly
Which only snowballs the resentment toward the men that they started with thanks to the dad in the first place.
- [20:47]
Show Announcer/Producer
Well.
- [20:50]
Adam Carolla
I remember a call many years ago and now we're kind of seeing it. First off, if any of these kids, male or female, had great reverence for their father, the notion of them being filmed storming into a church and screaming at kids and parishioners or pushing up against ice would be, it would be horrifying to them to think that their dad may see this on the news or find it somewhere. If you had great reverence for your father, if you hated his guts, then you'd hope he would see this. Cardiff Small businesses are the backbone of this country.

Adam Carolla
Borrow better homes.com yes, homes.com some might say homes.com is the best home shopping site and maybe homes.com's super comprehensive and transparent agent directory. Or Maybe it's that homes.com is the only site that always directly connects you with the listing agent who knows the home the best. Perhaps it's because homes.com has the most in depth neighborhood content of any home shopping site that's extensively researched to highlight the personality of each neighborhood. Homes.com goes above and beyond to bring home shoppers the in depth info they need to find the right home. And that could be you if you go to homes.com homes.com, we've done your homework. But I realized I spoke to a caller many, many years ago when I was doing Loveline and it was a young woman and I think she was in college. And she said, I have a black boyfriend and I want to introduce him to my dad, but I don't think my dad would be very happy about me having a black boyfriend. And I said, well, tell me about it. How do you like your dad? And she said, I hate his guts. And I said, why? Because he was horrible and he's a racist. And I said, but you have a black boyfriend and you want to introduce your racist dad to him? And she said, yeah, I have to. And I said, where do you go to college? And she was like, in Indiana. It's like, where's dad? He's in Orange County. Well, why do you have to introduce him to your boyfriend? Just let you know, I got to do it. I go, you have to do it, or you're paying your dad back. Now, what I realized then is she's attracted to black men, and she doesn't even know why she's attracted to black men because her dad was a racist and was horrible to her, and his greatest nightmare would be her bringing home a black boyfriend. And that's why she was attracted to black men. So she doesn't even know what attraction is. It was dictated by her father all those years ago. And I think a lot of these people that are screaming and they seem unhinged, it's not like they're making articulate arguments as to why we should abolish ice. They're literally women who are in a fugue state, screaming. And I realized, oh, that's a bunch of dad stuff from the past.
- [25:06]
Megyn Kelly
Yeah, well. And I mean, don't you think feminism is playing a role here, too, that we're now several generations into the. You don't need men. It's all about you and your career. Also, children are a burden messaging.
- [25:21]
Adam Carolla
Yes.
- [25:22]
Megyn Kelly
That these women have bought hook, line and sinker without realizing that. No, no, no. It's exactly the opposite. If you could find. Forget actually landing a husband and then having children, which will make you much happier, but if you could just land a man, if you could just have it like some dates with a good guy, I mean, it would completely turn their mood around. There's no way they'd be on the streets of Minneapolis if they had a good man taking him out to dinner.
- [25:45]
Adam Carolla
I completely agree. And yes, we've perpetrated this horrible hoax that has really ruined a lot of women by explaining to them they should go against their biological mandate. So, kids, it's a mandate. Women, obviously, it transcends feelings and love. It's a biology and husband and protector and provider and homemaker and all these traditional things that traditionally make couples happy. Society's happy women, happy we essentially talk them out of it and explain that no children and lots of abortions and no man and some sort of corporate dead end job would make you happy. And they're going out of their minds now, but they're going out of their minds because we've taken them out of their environment. It's like saying when you see a swordfish or marlin in the open sea, you go, they were made for that. They swim at 40 miles an hour. And we convince them that they needed to be up on the dock and they're flailing now and we're like, no, this is better for you. And it's like, I want to be where I belong.
- [26:59]
Megyn Kelly
Yes. And you're right, they're leaning into it, right? We have a basic. Women, women especially have a basic biological need to be, to be pursued, to be admired, to be lusted after. It is a basic biological need. It's like all the, all the things that are considered attractive are biologically developed to attract men, right? Like that's, that's how we keep the human race going. And they're, they're cutting each one of them out of their life. You know, it's like the shaving of the head. Like long hair is traditionally admired by men. It's considered more attractive. Like the no makeup thing long. Like Jordan Peterson when he's done all these studies. Like, red lips are considered a sign of fertility. And men are more attracted to women who have like some color in their face and like lips that are a little pink or red. No, nothing. They want to make their faces look like they're one step away from comatose. Also fitness, you know, a man looks at a fit woman and thinks, okay, yeah, that's somebody who could carry my baby and be healthy and deliver me a healthy offspring. Like extremely morbidly obese. No, you're getting exactly the opposite feeling. So, like, I don't know if it's consciously or subconsciously, they're, they're eliminating all the things that will actually attract, I mean, ideally like a good. And if you can get hot on top of it, man, so much the better. So it, but it's all rooted in this, like, well, what do I care? I don't need a man. I don't give a shit. I don't, I don't need a man. I don't need a boyfriend. I don't need. It's a, it's a bonus. We've heard some of them say it's a bonus to me that I have no husband and I Have no children because I can just be out there fucking with ice. It's like, sister, that's exactly the opposite of what you need.
- [28:34]
Adam Carolla
I mean, like, I could get even.
- [28:36]
Megyn Kelly
More graphic, but you take my point.
- [28:38]
Adam Carolla
And you never hear any messaging from the Democratic Party that's anything different than that. It's always, no one will ever look.
- [28:46]
Megyn Kelly
At you in the eyes and say, get more attractive and get effed. That's what you need.
- [28:53]
Adam Carolla
No, I.
- [28:53]
Megyn Kelly
No one's gonna give him that honesty.
- [28:55]
Adam Carolla
No, I agree. And they send the opposite message, which is brag about how many abortions we've had and how we don't need men. And then everyone is miserable. In a weird way, I said to Dr. Drew many years ago on Loveline, I would say to him, we're ruining women and we're ruining the black community. And I mean it in the same sort of way we're said to the black community. You don't need a husband. Have as many kids. We'll pay you. Stay home. Here's a project. Free housing. And 50 years later, nothing has come out the other end. And they've been damaged by it. We sent a message to the black community that was the wrong message. The message should have been, this is the best nation in the world to get stuff done. There's no discrimination that's ever gonna hold you back. Now just go out, make some hay while the sun shines. But instead, we sent systemic racism. It's in the water. It's in the air. Everybody who sees you sees you as a black person, not as an American or an individual or one of God's creatures. And if you try, you'll still never get ahead because of this horrible society we've crafted. So stay home and get a government check. It did not work out well for them. And with women, we sent another message, but it was the wrong message. But it all came from the Democratic side of the aisle. And we fucked with them a lot. And they're not, I would say probably the least happy women on the planet are probably black women at this point, because they got a one, two punch. They got the feminine side, they got the welfare side and the housing side, and they have 92%, 98% Democratic voters. So they are struggling. But the message ruined or at least damaged both sides. Now, of course, they're successful black people, and of course, they're successful women. They didn't get all of them, but they damage both those communities badly.
- [30:59]
Megyn Kelly
Oh, you're 100% right. And if your audience hasn't watched the documentary came out around 2020. What killed Michael Brown by Shelby Steele and his son Eli. They should do it. Download it tonight on Amazon Prime. What killed Michael Brown? Because it's not just about the Michael Brown, Ferguson, you know, officer involved shooting of Michael Brown. It's about all of this. Like, what happened to Ferguson, Missouri. What did the government do to Ferguson, Missouri, that led to these housing projects that led to Michael Brown living the way he did and his family that led to all these people on the streets falsely shouting, hands up, don't shoot. Like, what created that environment? And where was Ferguson, Missouri, back in the 1950s before the Great Society and Lyndon Johnson swooped in to, quote, help people. And also read Jason Riley's book of the Wall Street Journal. Please stop helping us. He's a black man, black reporter who works for the Wall Street Journal. He's a columnist, and he wrote a great book that means exactly what it says. Like, stop. Because every time the government has tried to, intervene to, quote, help the black community, they've wound up worse off, worse for the wear and the same. You're absolutely right. It is true for women. Every time the government stepped in with its messaging, or really, it's leftists, more of the leftists with respect to women stepped in with their new message on how they could feel more empowered. They wound up the opposite. And you look back at now, listen, it's not like an advocation for going back to when women couldn't work, when women, the first time they showed any signs of anxiety or depression, got shipped off to a mental institution. I'm not naive enough to think those were entirely the good old days. But we threw out the baby with the bathwater when we tried to reform some of the more sexist elements of society. And we believed a lie. That really the whole problem we were suffering from was just men in general, as opposed to a couple of behaviors that we wanted to evolve from.

Adam Carolla
Well, the fundamental problem with the victimhood thing is, as I always say, it's one thing to be a Steelers fan, and you can be a Pittsburgh Steelers fan, but eventually you have to hate the Baltimore Ravens. You can't just be a Steelers fan. And so you go, hey, black people. There's systemic racism and black people, we live in a society that doesn't want you there, and black people, whatever. And then we go, now just go to college and thrive. But at a certain point, you have to look around and go, well, who's perpetrating all this horrible race? Like, who's doing this? And that's the Baltimore Ravens. We have to attack white people. You can't just live in a bubble where you ignore that if you're being told there's systemic racism. I mean, do the math. And women, same thing. It's not enough that you be empowered. You're gonna have to hate men as well. So we do this thing all the time where it's like, one can happen without the other. No, you can't just get more black kids into ucla. At some point, you have to remove Asian kids from ucla. You have to hurt somebody else. It can't just be that.

Megyn Kelly
That's exactly what happened, you know, on that. On the relationship front, Dr. Phil wrote a book many years ago called Relationship Rescue. And I was in the middle of a bad relationship at the time, and I read it cover to cover, and it's really stuck with me ever since. But one of the questions he asked in that book was about a couple arguing. You know, any hypothetical couple. And it's like, well, I think this. Well, I think that. And. And you're fighting, and you win. You win the argument, and you feel great because you won. You were the superior one. And he asked the question, how can you win when the person you love most in the world is losing?
- [34:42]
Adam Carolla
Right.
- [34:42]
Megyn Kelly
And I love that question. It's exactly right. Like, if you truly love somebody, you're not looking to defeat them. You don't feel better when you've, quote, beaten them. The only way of winning is either not to play. Not to play the argument, or to find a way where both of you feel good at the end. And I think that's a general philosophy for life, too. When it comes to dating and being with somebody of the opposite sex. Like, the whole goal should be to lift them up, to wake up in the morning asking yourself how you can make their life better and ideally, for it to work. Well, they're asking themselves that same question about you. You know, and the way a great argument should go is like, I think I'm to blame for the following reasons. And the other person is saying, no, actually, I think I'm to blame for the following reasons. Like, in a perfect world, you can evolve to where you get that generous with members of the opposite sex or the person that you've chosen to date or ideally spend your life with. I don't know. I think that's the key to a healthy relationship. And it definitely changed my second marriage from my first.
- [35:43]
Adam Carolla
I'm curious now, and I've never really thought about it, about how you argue, because I realize for Me, I'm very pragmatic, mechanical, and sort of nuts and bolts. And it doesn't oftentimes work with women or children because they're emotionally based arguments. And I'm doing a facts and logic argument, which may technically make me correct, but I'm not getting anywhere with the person who's emotionally based. You are not emotionally based, at least to the best of my knowledge. And with the law background and news background, I imagine when you do have an argument with your husband, it's sort of facts based. Is that correct?
- [36:35]
Megyn Kelly
So here's the truth. I think all those qualities that you generously attributed to me will help me stay out of most arguments. Like, as a result of some of those tributes, I don't argue a lot. Like, I.
- [36:49]
Adam Carolla
Good point.
- [36:49]
Megyn Kelly
I can almost always see, like, the other person's point and, like, seed if I'm wrong pretty quickly. But on the few occasions where, like, we don't see eye to eye and those skills have not talked me out of it, I can go to from 0 to 60 quickly. So I'd love to say I don't have the thing that most women have, but I do. I can definitely, like, quickly turn into what the biggest fight Doug and I ever had. Of course, I don't even remember what the actual fight was over. And since we've been together, which has been 20 years, we've only had, I would say, maybe 10 fights over the course of that time. Like, we really don't fight a lot, but the one big fight we had, I was so mad. And like a lot of guys, he needs it to resolve immediately, and I don't at all. I need time. I need time to, like, come down emotionally. But he really wants it to resolve immediately. So, like, he kept kind of coming back to me, like, put it to bed and, like, fix it. And I kept telling him, like, leave it. Just leave it.
- [37:46]
Adam Carolla
I'm not ready.
- [37:47]
Megyn Kelly
And he wouldn't leave it. And I would got. I got up to walk out of the bedroom, and he tried again. And I turned around Adam and I gave him the deep knee bend. Double barrel.
- [37:57]
Adam Carolla
Wow, the bird.
- [37:59]
Megyn Kelly
Two birds with a deep knee bend. That moment lives in infamy in our marriage. Because, yeah, even, like. Like anybody else, it's. Sometimes I just get too emotional and lose it.
- [38:11]
Adam Carolla
I've found. And I know you gotta hop, so I will just say this. I've always found with women, it's like when you're running on the treadmill. When I'm done running on the treadmill, I just hit stop and I get off the treadmill. But women need the cool down button where it's like we're not just stopping, we're gonna slow it down. But my legs are still moving and it may be a while.
- [38:34]
Megyn Kelly
Heart rate is going. I will say now, after all this time, Doug has figured out how to handle this. And he'll wait a little and then he will come over to me and nine times out of ten he will say something along the lines of I forgive you and I accept your apology. Just jokingly. Right. Which makes me laugh every time.
- [38:55]
Adam Carolla
Well, I look forward to seeing you soon, my dear. And I'm happy to be on your network on Sirius XM as well.

Many who are listening are new listeners now on the Sirius XM channel, Megan Kelly's channel 111 for those who normally listen to the podcast. Well, nothing's going to change for you, but we'll have some new listeners on Sirius xm. Rudy Pavich is sitting next to me. Rudy does the news probably once or twice a week, maybe more. Rudy's a very funny stand up comedian and former radio guy. So we'll get to the news. Good to see you, Rudy.
- [42:35]
Rudy Pavich
You too, bud. Congratulations on the Sirius XM stuff. That's fantastic.
- [42:39]
Adam Carolla
Love it. I always love me some radio, even if you non terrestrial. So something I never got to with Megan, which was I was listening to Megan interview James woods, who I enjoy quite a bit. Everybody you know, you know him from his good roles. But watch him in the Specialist, the Sylvester Stallone movie. James woods in the Specialist. I mean that scene when he walks into the Miami bomb squad headquarters and gets his pen out and puts it in some C4. So here's basically what I'm saying about James Woods. James woods is a great actor right now. Normally they don't get great actors to play schlocky roles. And that movie with Stallone and Stone, Sharon Stone, Sharon Stone. Now I'm thinking of more as a Karen Stone cause I probably know her politics. But Sharon Stone and Stallone, it's the greatest schlock movie for people who sort of hate watching movies or just like movies that are bad, they might watch Red dawn, they might watch Roadhouse, but I'm telling you, the Specialist and Cobra, those are the ones you gotta watch when you want, like, bad 80s music style, like, everything. And the movie, the whole movie, the whole premise is ridiculous. And then I'll get to James Woods. But the premise of the movie is Sharon Stone's brother was killed by Eric Roberts and his bad gang of Cuban drug lords with horrible accents, and she wants revenge.
- [44:29]
Rudy Pavich
Yeah.
- [44:30]
Adam Carolla
And she knows where Eric Roberts is and she wants him taken out. So then she goes to Stallone, and I always love this scene. It's like she does hot chick when at some point I want to do this with a woman just once in my life where I go, why me? And she goes, because you're the best. Yeah, right. Okay. So then Stallone, who's a demolitions expert, Stallone blows stuff up. Stallone goes, why not just an assassin's bullet? Just take him out with a bullet. And she goes, too messy. I don't want people to get hurt. That's the premise of the movie. Okay, so I'm gonna blow up the hotel. He said, yeah, where they have a kiddie pool. The whole thesis of the movie is, why not just hire some illegal. Just to snuff him on his front lawn when he's walking out to the car in the morning? Too messy.
- [45:31]
Rudy Pavich
Yeah.
- [45:32]
Adam Carolla
Innocent people could get hurt.
- [45:33]
Rudy Pavich
There's nothing cleaner than piano wire around the neck. That's it. Yeah.
- [45:36]
Adam Carolla
Right. Her thing is, we need to blow up the patio. He's on.
- [45:41]
Rudy Pavich
There's a continental breakfast filled with a hockey team that came in from Buffalo. These people are all gonna die.
- [45:47]
Adam Carolla
That's the entire. So that's the whole. The whole movie is flawed from that point forward because she's hiring an explosives demolition guy to kill one guy when you could hire a hobo to stab him for 30 bucks.
- [46:03]
Rudy Pavich
Absolutely.
- [46:04]
Adam Carolla
Okay. But James woods, who's a great actor, is in this movie, and he brings his great acting chops to this schlocky dialogue and role. And that scene where he walks into the Dade county whatever and schools them all up on explosives is like the. Do you even know that scene?
- [46:25]
Rudy Pavich
Yeah, I know what you're talking about.
- [46:26]
Adam Carolla
It's the greatest scene in bad movie history. And it's sort of like you have to be a master thespian in order to pull off that schlock. And it's sort of like if you play the piano badly, then you could be kind of funny playing the piano, but it's not that funny. But if you're A master concert pianist. And then you try to be funny. It's always better.
- [46:52]
Rudy Pavich
Yeah. That's why comedian Steven lynch, the singer, songwriter Steven lynch, is so good because he has the voice of an angel. That guy hits high notes and he can sing and he can play. And that's what makes it so good, because then he does the humor on top of it.
- [47:05]
Adam Carolla
All right, so speaking of humor, Megan, either miss this joke or let it go. And I want. Well, don't hit play. I'm just talking. And I would like to see whether you think as a comedian, as a seasoned comedian, Rudy, she missed the joke or she just kind of let it go, didn't understand it because they're talking about Don Lemon. Okay, all right, here we go.
- [47:35]
Megyn Kelly
Who molest their children, get kicked out.
- [47:38]
James Woods (clip)
Don Lemon. Don Lemon is a small man. He's a small man, period. That's it.
- [47:46]
Megyn Kelly
Yeah. I mean, honestly, man is a stretch for Don Lemon. I don't know what he is.
- [47:51]
James Woods (clip)
He's definitely been manotes. He's definitely been stretched.
- [47:56]
Megyn Kelly
I mean, just man the word man.
- [47:59]
Adam Carolla
All right, all right. Now, did she miss the stretch, gay joke or not?
- [48:04]
Rudy Pavich
Well, I think there may have been just a small little delay in between her and James connection.
- [48:11]
Adam Carolla
Everything on satellite is suspect because there's a one Mississippi that causes a little comedy. Is all time age.
- [48:21]
Rudy Pavich
Absolutely.
- [48:21]
Adam Carolla
And the biggest challenge of going on Tucker Carlson's show when you're in the van back in the day or Jesse Waters now is there is a beat and a half. And that is a third thing in the room. You gotta negotiate with when you're doing standup. There's nothing you have to negotiate with. You're funny or you're not. This is a little bit timed, whatever that you have to kind of deal with. It kind of hurts comedy.
- [48:47]
Rudy Pavich
Yeah. And I've never been able to understand the people that have been doing it for a long time who still don't get the timing of it, especially the host, because they'll go, james, what are your thoughts on the AFC championship game? And then there's a three Mississippi silence because James is waiting for it to catch up. And then James goes to talk, and the host goes, we must have a. And then he talks over James. And you go, well, how do you not know that this is happening?
- [49:10]
Adam Carolla
You'll get. You'll get the rhythm. I get the rhythm. You always. The big one that's a screw up is you never say goodbye because they always go, you know, Jesse Waters go, well, Adam Crowley. Adam Crowley show. Thanks for Joining us tonight, Adam. And there'll be a butt bit and I'll go, you know, Jesse, it's always a. I'm always a fan. And then it just cuts off. Right. So you just. You have to nod. You just wave. You don't do anything audible. You're gonna get clipped.
- [49:37]
Rudy Pavich
Thumbs up.
- [49:38]
Adam Carolla
Right. The funny thing is, is when they have the first timers on the show, it's like the Sussex county school board commissioner who was there when the young male used the female's bathroom is now on. Sheila Epstein. What do you have? They'll just go. There's like, it's two left footed people dancing like the entire time. All right, so one more time. Let's just hear it one more time. Let's look at Megan, see if we can figure this out. I don't think she heard it.
- [50:07]
Rudy Pavich
Yeah, I think she was already onto the next thing because of the small delay. And when she heard it, her brain wasn't listening to James's voice.
- [50:15]
Adam Carolla
But I do like a good old fashioned gay bash joke. It's coming from an old schooler, you know what I mean? I was listening in my car press.
- [50:24]
Megyn Kelly
Wanting to see illegals who molest their children get kicked out.
- [50:29]
James Woods (clip)
Don Lemon. Don Lemon is a small man. He's a small man, period. That's it.
- [50:37]
Megyn Kelly
Yeah. I mean, honestly, man is a stretch for Don Lemon. I don't know what he is.
- [50:42]
James Woods (clip)
He's definitely been man. He's definitely been stretched.
- [50:47]
Megyn Kelly
I mean, just man.
- [50:48]
Rudy Pavich
Yeah. I think she's already onto the next thing. Listening.
- [50:50]
Adam Carolla
Yeah.
- [50:50]
Rudy Pavich
Y.
- [50:51]
Adam Carolla
God bless her.
- [50:52]
Rudy Pavich
She's. Yeah, she definitely has a great sense of humor. And I think she feels. I've never met her, but you could probably tell.
- [50:58]
Adam Carolla
She's got a great sense of humor.
- [50:59]
Rudy Pavich
Great sense of humor. And just feels like one of the guys.
- [51:03]
Adam Carolla
Is literally like somebody took a dude's brain and put it in a super hot blonde mannequin. That's basically what she is who came to life. I love that movie. All right. Hey, can we find that now? I'm going to ask engineer Andrew. Do we get into trouble with YouTube or something? We allowed to play a specialist clip? How does that work?
- [51:30]
Rudy Pavich
I can find it on the movie clips page. Yeah, why don't you go ahead and put it in and if we need to, I can take it out in YouTube later. But. But seems like YouTube has been ever since like the last 18 months. They're pretty good about letting things slide.
- [51:42]
Adam Carolla
Right now that James Woods. James woods, specialist, Miami Bomb squad scene, it's the greatest Scene ever.
- [51:51]
Rudy Pavich
There's two examples of great thespians who are in movies where they go a little too hard. That's a great one. There's also one where Michael Keaton plays Ebenezer Scrooge in the Muppet Christmas Carol and goes super hard in the paint with his acting chops. Almost too much. It's like, dude, you're acting next to a piece of felt. It's Kermit the Frog. Like, bring it down a little bit. That. And when Liam Neeson is in a. Is it A Million Ways to Die in the west with Seth McFarland McFarlane, he goes way too hard as the villain. Like, he's dressed in all black. It's kind of supposed to be a stupid cowboy movie. And he is acting his ass off in it almost to a point where you go, man, I'm scared just watching the film. And it's supposed to be a comedy.
- [52:37]
Adam Carolla
All right, here is James Wood's master thespian as Stallone's former partner in demolition in the army. They're both specialists. And James went one direction and Stallone went the other in Miami. Here we go. Chief says you're on this. Fine, he's on the case. But I don't take orders from any ex. Anything. All right, Ace.
- [53:06]
James Woods (clip)
And I gotta tell you something. I mean, I'm sorry, but I thought your chief said that the fullest cooperation would be forthcoming. And I gotta tell you something, sport. This doesn't feel like full cooperation to me. I mean, look at this shit here. What is this? This is. Shouldn't this be in the lockup? I mean, I don't know. Maybe I'm wrong. You guys are the experts. Maybe you don't need me. I mean, like, what is this? This is Semtech. This is Semtex.
- [53:32]
Adam Carolla
Smells.
- [53:32]
James Woods (clip)
Am I right? Plastique.
- [53:34]
Adam Carolla
Plastique.
- [53:34]
James Woods (clip)
Plastic explosive. Am I right? I don't know. You're the expert. I mean, this little bit could blow up this whole area. And if this area goes, the whole building could go up. Am I right? Gosh, I don't know. I mean, maybe if I put this.
- [53:47]
Adam Carolla
In here, it's making a bomb and.
- [53:50]
James Woods (clip)
The police going, oh, this is a plunger detonator. Am I right? And that's a little mini receiver. You know, this looks like American circuitry to me. And I gotta tell you, call me a patriot, but American craftsmanship, it's the greatest in the world.
- [54:04]
Adam Carolla
See? Watch this.
- [54:05]
James Woods (clip)
Here we go. Let's just see. Yep, perfect fit. First time every time. Screw it on. And One little twist and voila. A perfect receiver bomb, which, of course, is absolutely worthless without a transmitter.
- [54:29]
Adam Carolla
That's the greatest scene in movie history. He literally, by the way, pause. He walked into the police station four minutes ago and knows where all the equipment is and how everything works. But he's a pro. All right? This is James woods at his best.
- [54:45]
James Woods (clip)
20 seconds and we're hot. Okay.
- [54:50]
Megyn Kelly
Okay.
- [54:51]
James Woods (clip)
Now you deactivate. Activate it, you sanctimonious prick.
- [54:53]
Adam Carolla
Okay, you cut that citrun. Oh, yeah.
- [54:55]
James Woods (clip)
Huh?
- [54:56]
Megyn Kelly
Come on.
- [54:56]
James Woods (clip)
Come on.
- [54:57]
Adam Carolla
Okay, you made your point, all right?
- [54:58]
Rudy Pavich
Have I?
- [54:59]
James Woods (clip)
Huh? Huh?
- [55:00]
Rudy Pavich
Okay, that's enough.
- [55:01]
James Woods (clip)
What do you mean it's enough? You think I give a shit if this whole block goes up? I don't. You mean you've had enough? Isn't that what you're saying?
- [55:08]
Adam Carolla
Yes, that's what I'm saying. Enough is enough.
- [55:10]
James Woods (clip)
Huh?
- [55:11]
Adam Carolla
I can't do it. 10 seconds.
- [55:13]
James Woods (clip)
What the hell are you.
- [55:13]
Pluto TV Announcer
You.
- [55:14]
Adam Carolla
You crazy or something?
- [55:15]
James Woods (clip)
I'm the craziest person you'll ever meet in your life. Six, five, four, three.
- [55:25]
Adam Carolla
Please. One second. Would have blown up the whole police briefing. No repercussions. By the way, he was on the case.
- [55:33]
Rudy Pavich
Of course.
- [55:34]
Adam Carolla
Yeah, he was made lead man on the case. Those guys, by the way, couldn't the guy. Couldn't the bomb tech guy do the clicker on the pen, too? Why do they need James woods to do it?
- [55:42]
James Woods (clip)
Yeah.
- [55:43]
Megyn Kelly
All right.
- [55:43]
Adam Carolla
Is that the best piece of acting you've ever seen in your life?
- [55:45]
Rudy Pavich
The only thing that could have been better is if Adam west and his Batman outfit showed up and ran like the Bat Bomb and just ran that thing out the door. And then why would you just run it out the door? Throw it somewhere outside of the confines of the police department.
- [55:59]
Adam Carolla
All right, well, then you kill innocent people on the street.
- [56:01]
Rudy Pavich
Rudy, use your brain, goddammit. You're right.
- [56:04]
Adam Carolla
All right, now, when I was thinking about doing the show, I was thinking about some of the more famous exchanges I've had over the years with folks people have heard of, and there's the Gavin Newsom stuff. But coming up, I don't know if you know this, we're coming up on the 20th anniversary of the Michael Richards N bomb explosion on stage at The Laugh Factory. 20 years.
- [56:35]
Rudy Pavich
20 years. Crazy.
- [56:36]
Adam Carolla
20 years. And so Gloria Allred, famous attorney who's just not really a court attorney. More get people to settle. Attorney person, was representing the black members of the audience to get money from Michael Richards, and she called into my radio show less than two weeks after the Incident to make her case. The problem is, I don't think people know I will argue with you if you or you have a bad case. And she wasn't ready for that. But there is a term that is applied to me which is I have a crystal brain. Which is other people may have a crystal ball, but I have a crystal brain. And that was coined in this argument that I wasn't. It's not like I planned it out or anything. She just said to me something. And so 20 years ago, Kramer, Michael Richards, got on stage, dropped a thousand N bombs, and then 11 days later, she calls in and she's arguing with me that this may help his career. And my argument is, here's my argument. He's done. He's a pariah. He's finished. That's his punishment. And she's like, why shouldn't he be punished? And like, he is punished. The biggest punish rich guys. Cutting checks is not punishment. That's what you do when you get caught with your mistress or you just pay her off, but you're still a rich guy and your reputation. Still the punishment is being a pariah. It's being shunned and never working again.
- [58:23]
Rudy Pavich
20 years, he's never done another movie.
- [58:24]
Adam Carolla
Right? All right, well, let's see who was right in this prediction, me or Gloria Allred. If you asked Michael Richards whether he prefer or Michael Richards representation as publicist or his agents whether they prefer this incident happen or not, they would of course say no.
- [58:39]
Gloria Allred
Well, that's not the question of whether they would prefer it happen. The question is, will it enhance his career? No, we don't know the answer to that.
- [58:45]
Adam Carolla
Yes, we do. The answer is no.
- [58:47]
Gloria Allred
Because you've got a crystal ball that I don't have.
- [58:49]
Adam Carolla
No, I have a crystal brain that thinks logically.
- [58:52]
Gloria Allred
Well, you don't. You really don't know about these things. So the point is.
- [58:57]
Adam Carolla
I do know. I do know. This hasn't helped them just by the way. Stop it there for a second. Listen, everyone, this is how you have to argue with retarded politicians and lawyers when they go, you really don't know about that stuff. You go, well, you don't go, well, that's your opinion. You go, no, I do know. It's not gonna. No, no, we don't know if this is gonna help us grow. No, no, it's not. Yeah, that's the only. You're talking to crazy people who rely on rambling and bum stumbling over people with the word salad to get their way. So I was explaining that but we can. We can keep it going because it is interesting, logically.
- [59:32]
Gloria Allred
Well, you really don't know about these things, so the point is, we'll leave this.
- [59:36]
Adam Carolla
I do know. I do know. This hasn't helped him. Just like OJ's case wasn't helped by what he did. There's many examples of it.
- [59:44]
Gloria Allred
You know Michael Richards of killing? Anyone different?
- [59:48]
Adam Carolla
No, I'm saying, look, what he did was wrong and he deserves to be punished. He is being punished. He's being humiliated.
- [59:55]
Gloria Allred
Well, you think that. See, I think he's been out there looking for sympathy from the public and. But we're looking.
- [60:01]
Adam Carolla
And you're looking for money.
- [60:02]
Gloria Allred
He's been concerned, rightfully so, about the damage to his career. Now we're concerned about the damage to our clients and to the victims. Now, you don't think that people who are African American, who called the N word over and over and over again are at all victims? And I understand that's your point of view.
- [60:17]
Adam Carolla
No, I didn't. I didn't say they weren't victims.
- [60:20]
Gloria Allred
Are they or not?
- [60:21]
Adam Carolla
I don't. I don't know how to decide who's a victim and who isn't by words that are said to them. That's up to them. But see, here's. No, it's not easy. It's not easy for you because you want money. But here's the deal. If somebody calls me a cracker and I'm very hurt by that, then maybe I'm a victim. If someone calls me a cracker and it doesn't bother me, then I'm not a victim. So I can't tell you who's a victim. I can tell you who's a victim of arson. I can tell you who's had a bone broken. I can't tell you who's been victimized for a second, by the way. You want to know a sad state of lawyers? I was put on academic probation at a junior college and have never took algebra and finished high school. The 1.7 GPA. I've never had an argument with an attorney that I haven't won. Yeah, isn't that weird?
- [61:11]
Rudy Pavich
It's crazy.
- [61:11]
Adam Carolla
Yeah, well, it's because as I said to my ex wife a million years ago, she goes, why do you win every argument? I go, I don't argue unless I'm right. Your batting average goes up. She's wrong. She's doing a money grab.
- [61:25]
Rudy Pavich
Yeah, right. Making it up as you go. That's how you know. That's how you lose. Is when you're just coming up with lies on the fly.
- [61:31]
Adam Carolla
Right. So she thought it might help Michael Richards career, which everyone knew it would. And including her, of all people. Hollywood lawyer, you know, PR person extraordinaire. So she's lying, and that's why she's having difficulty with her side of the argument. But we'll keep it going. I can tell you who's a victim of arson. I can tell you who's had a bone broken. I can't tell you who's been victimized by words. That's up to them.
- [62:03]
Gloria Allred
And I would suggest, with all due respect, you do. You know, maybe you need to review a little bit about civil rights and how African Americans have been taunted and hurt by the use of the N word, which is why we don't use the full word anymore, because we know that it is hurtful.
- [62:20]
Adam Carolla
The Internet clipped us up anyway. I took that bitch out to the woodshed and just spanked her for, like 20 minutes. And she hung up on me at a certain point. But I was basically saying, you are saying you want money because he needs to be punished. I'm saying you want money because you love money. Right? The he needs to be punished part is already done. Because society will do the punishment part. Him cutting you a check is the least of his worries. And there's no punishment involved with that. That's just a rich guy cutting a check. All rich guys, all they wanna do is cut checks. If you're drunk driving and you're a rich guy and you run over some Mexican waiter who's riding home on his Schwinn in the middle of the night and it's raining, and you bust that guy up bad, and he says, I'm getting a lawyer and I'm calling the cops. You would love just to cut him a check right there and have him limp home. Yeah, that's the. That's the best.
- [63:27]
Rudy Pavich
That's your magic genie to make this all go away.
- [63:29]
Adam Carolla
Yes. You have money. So cutting him a check and having everyone go away would be the easiest thing for a guy who's getting Seinfeld residuals. The tough part is being cast out of Hollywood for now. 20. Yeah, 20 years.
- [63:44]
Rudy Pavich
Yeah. I would love to know where it is that she hooked up with these quote unquote victims. I can't imagine that this guy who came in, ordered a drink. How it worked in the comedy club that night was they came in a little late, they made a little noise. He got agitated. There was some back and forth that went between the Quote, unquote, victims and Michael Richards on stage. So at the end of the show, do they get in the car and he looks at his girlfriend and. And the victim and he says, hey, honey, you got your aunt. And she knows, like, some lawyers. Could you get Gloria all right's number? I imagine that she reached out to these people and said, you've been a victim. You can get money. And they went, okay, well, you work your magic and we'll sit back and wait for us to collect a check. I imagine that's how that all happened.
- [64:27]
Adam Carolla
I don't know. I don't know this day what the settlement was or if they got paid or how it even works. And then. The legal precedent of sticks versus stones from 19.
- [64:43]
Rudy Pavich
I was thinking about that earlier.
- [64:44]
Adam Carolla
63. Like my childhood. Sticks and stones can break your bones, but names can never hurt you. There's legal precedent called sticks versus stones. All right. Another thing I was thinking about this morning, as I was, and I've always talked about this, so. So Los Angeles is a total dumpster fire. And somebody tweeted me a couple of tweets. One was we hung. So Los Angeles is covered with graffiti. Just garbage and graffiti and trash, trash, graffiti everywhere. And when I say sort of trash and garbage, I guess what I mean is there's trash, there's litter, and then there's old sofas and shopping carts and the saddest, which is the weird little kiddie castles and stuff, that's the la.
- [65:34]
Rudy Pavich
La la la la la la.
- [65:36]
Adam Carolla
Like, it's so sad tableau by the side of the freeway. So there's junk everywhere and then there's graffiti everywhere. And then there's trash everywhere in California, in Los Angeles. And there's always this thing where it's like, we lead the way, you know, in the environment, like, the environment. There's garbage everywhere.
- [65:53]
Rudy Pavich
But that's funny you say that. I literally, on the way here today, saw a palm tree that was tagged leave the goddamn poultry.
- [66:02]
Adam Carolla
I've seen rocks. I've seen cactus tags. Cactus tags.
- [66:06]
Pluto TV Announcer
It's crazy.
- [66:08]
Adam Carolla
There's graffiti all over the burnt out places in Malibu. Malibu. By the time they get to Malibu, they've really franchised and spread out. But I would say to everyone all the time in Las Vette, they're like, they got to Malibu, like on pch, like up the street, hundred yards from Nobu. They're tagging the most exclusive real estate in the world, $100 million homes. But the burnt out stuff's been unattended and it's Tagged. And I have a theory and I'm gonna test it out one day. I said in Los Angeles, everything eventually gets tagged. Now if you go to South Central or Sun Valley and you paint a new big wall or, or freeway or press, that'll get tagged that night. Sure, that get overnight, but eventually they'll get to Malibu. But my theory is, is if you go outside in Los Angeles and stand still long enough, you'll get tagged. Anything that gets tagged. I, I, I think the over under is like depending on what neighborhood we're in, I think the over under is less than 14 hours. If you just remain motionless, you will get tagged in Los Angeles. So there's a clip of the Governor Newsom is trying, the Olympics are coming, we're trying to the World cup, whatever. We're trying to gussy the place up. So it's all concrete. Los Angeles is all concrete and it's all freeway. So it's all tagged. So they hung a whole bunch of fake ivy along the side of the wall, hoping that would prevent the taggers from tagging. But you can show it to me, Andrew. Sorry. I mean there's a before and after. But the point is, is the before is we pay. God knows what we pay. I'm sure we pay 7,000 bucks a square foot for this fake ivy that someone could get at Home Depot for 299A square foot. But either way, God knows what it costs a linear foot to put this stuff up. It's thousands and thousands of dollars they put it up in the following day. It's been tagged.
- [68:13]
Rudy Pavich
Oh that's great.
- [68:14]
Adam Carolla
It's been tagged big time, right over the ivy. And then the next thing that happened was somebody sent me a tweet and it's now all the motorcycle gangs. Now they're not motorcycle gangs as you knew them, Hell's Angels and Sons of Satan and stuff. These are 14, 15, 17 year old dudes on dirt bikes, which I assume they stole because I don't think any of those guys went down to the Van Nuys Kawasaki dealership and plunked down 4400 bucks for a quad. Right? Like that's all stolen, right? And when I look at it, there's kids in this mix. I mean there are looks like 11 year old, 12 year old boys. You know, this is kind of the white man's domain. Although there's plenty of brothers in this group, not this group, but who do the dirt bike thing and they all come down through the tunnel which is completely and utterly tagged. And then the Cops, like turn them around, but so you can pause it. Here's my point. There are marauding gangs of mini bike guys, dirt bike guys, and again, not Harley bikers, not what you'd picture from the past. Yeah, these are young dudes riding dirt bikes and riding wheelies. And there's like swarms of them.
- [69:35]
Rudy Pavich
Sure.
- [69:36]
Adam Carolla
And I've seen them go up and down Pacific coast highway on minibikes. There's 80 guys and they take it over. Now here's my point. Whether it's graffiti or whether it's taking over the streets with a dirt bike, once you hit a critical mass, there's nothing you can do, L.A. and you can get rid of the clip. Andrew, L.A. has to just sort of people proof everything. Like we don't get streetlights because the people have stolen the wire. And we don't have catalytic converters because people steal the catalytic converters. And then the Dumbo city council goes, well, this is Toyota's fault. They need you guys should install a cage under your thing. And then we can't put more wire in the lights of the bridge until we figure out a way to people proof. There's too many people. We can't people proof everything we need to fix our society. It's basically anyone who's ever dealt with rats. You go, we got rats. And you go, well, we gotta put some chicken wire up in the vent on the roof because they get in on the. Really come off the tree branch and they get on the roof, then they get in the vent and then they, they put a nest there and then they go and it's like, oh. And they chewed through the wiring and they went under the car hood and they chewed all the insulation off. It's like once you have rats, there's really nothing you can do. You can't rat proof every square inch of your life. Cause I don't know, you park the car out in the driveway one night, they crawl up, they chew the wiring, it's like, where the rats coming from? We gotta get rid of the rats. There's too many every. If you have a billion kids with cans of spray paint and XR75 Hondas, it's done. There's not enough cops, there's not enough fake ivy. There's not enough. We can't, there's not enough primer to campaign over. There's not enough. Somebody needs to go, where the fuck is this 12 year old coming from? It wasn't okay. Even with my piece of shit family. I didn't have a. There's no way, you know, I could hop on my YZ80 at 10 o' clock at night, fire up a little two stroke, throw a couple of raps and just take off into the night. Someone don't know what's going on. Yeah, where am I going? Who's creating the rats? Where are the rats? We don't have a graffiti problem. We don't have a crime problem. We don't have a delinquency problem. We don't have a biker problem. We have a parenting problem. Now are we going to start judging where the parents. What's going on at home? Where are the consequences? We can't rat proof the entire. We have barbed wire hanging up on the freeway signs. Barbed wire on the freeway signs. We have to, we have to prove. We have to put cages around the catalytic converters. We have to put cages around the street. There's not enough cages. Every, everything at a CVS is locked up in a cage. You can't get chapstick, you can't get batteries. The plan to sort of retroactively put everything, literally put a cage around everything is not the solution. Where are the rats coming from? Well, and can some city council member say a fucking word about it? Other than we need more people in more cages?
- [73:00]
Rudy Pavich
Yeah, Well, a lot of the rats are coming from their homes who are then rammed by actual rats themselves. Like it's the parents that are also out there on the goddamn quads and the four wheelers and the. I was in New York City at The Comedy Cellar 2 in the morning and 15 of these guys on Banshees come flying by. 2am no cops around. Just let them go. Where do you.
- [73:21]
Adam Carolla
First off, where do you get one.
- [73:22]
Rudy Pavich
In New York City, for God's sake? Right?
- [73:24]
Adam Carolla
So much like any good zombie movie, once everyone is zombified, there is no authority that can stop them. We can do a ratio. We can do like one cop for every like 19 rats. But if we have 1000 rats, the one cop just has to stand back and watch. I mean, you're from Minnesota. When they're burning the place down five years ago, at some point cops literally just become spectators and there's 13 rats jumping on the hood of a cruiser and all they can do is watch.
- [73:56]
Rudy Pavich
Yeah.
- [73:56]
Adam Carolla
So more cops is fine and more fake ivy is fine and more shit in cages at the Rite Aid is fine. But at a certain point, we need to address the rat issue, everybody. And that's gonna lead to a conversation that's uncomfortable for politicians, sure. But I would suggest they have it. Simplisafe. Oh, you want home security, and you want a home security system that actually keeps trouble away, not just alerts you after the fact. That's why I like Simplisafe Home security. It's not just an alarm. It's built to help stop crime before it starts. SimpliSafe uses AI cameras to spot real threats and alert live agents instantly. Agents can talk to intruders through the camera, turn on sirens, blast spotlights while police are on the way. Unlike other systems, you don't have to handle alerts yourself. They've got your back anytime, day or night. Trusted by over 5 million Americans and named best home security system five years in a row. I use it because you never know what might happen. These guys are smart and they're a great sponsor and they're a great product. I use it because you never know what might happen, especially in this city. It is simply safe. Right, Dawson?

Adam Carolla
You're welcome. All right, you got some news?
- [76:08]
Rudy Pavich
Let's do it. Yeah. Well, speaking of Minnesota, this has been making the rounds. A new video of the killing of Alex Preddy shows the interaction between him and a swarm of DHS officers from start to finish. And it batters the credibility of Trump officials who came out of the gate swinging, calling Preddy a domestic terrorist. The video shows Preddy directing traffic before it appears he is asked to move out of the street, which he does as he walks towards the sidewalk of officer pushes a woman to the ground. Preddy moves towards her. Officers then pepper spray both Preddy and the woman and drag Preddy to the ground. Preddy's family, after the incident, released a statement in the aftermath of the shooting blasting the Trump administration. The statement reads in part, the sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting.
- [76:52]
Adam Carolla
All right, so I never thought I would have to say this, but don't wrestle with cops. I used to tell my black listenership not to wrestle with cops. Whitey you're gonna get shot too. This is a much worse shooting, I think, than the good minivan thing. This is worse. Although he had a gun and good didn't have a gun. This one, this one is worse. And he didn't really wrestle with cops. What I'm saying is don't insert yourself into this situation. You could get shot. And then people go, was it a good killing or was it a bad killing? And then they go, that was a bad killing. He shouldn't have been shot. It's like, okay, I'll reanimate his corpse and explain to him that the joke's on the cops. You're still dead. So I would suggest not getting involved. And also so do not underestimate 28 year old dudes with guns and you calling them Nazis and pigs and spitting on them for five hours. Do not underestimate their ability to reach for that gun. At some point it will happen and then everyone will go, oh, so it's okay? No, it's not okay. It's gonna happen. It has to happen. If you go, here's the combination, here's the stew that I'm cooking. Lots of dudes with guns getting called horrible, horrible things for hours on end. Sometimes bottles thrown at them or snowballs or pushed or spat upon or something, but they got the guns. Hours of that, then mixed with throngs of people either in cars driving toward them or pushing toward them, or general confusion. Lots of times that is going to translate into X amount of citizens getting shot per year. If you just said, this is something we're gonna do 24, 7 all year long, you'd go, okay, at the end of the year, there's gonna be like 26 people shot. And then you go, is that right? It's like, no, it's not right. Those guys have guns. You antagonize them for long periods of time. Scuffles break out, and then as they say, shit happens. That's how this works. And it's gonna work, by the way. It'll keep going in different iterations. You know what I mean? It'll be a woman in a van blocking somebody. It'll be a guy out in the street. They'll be shoving and pepper spraying. There'll be all different versions of people getting shot, but it will translate into people getting shot. Like, if my kid was like, I'm gonna go out and antagonize ICE officers, I'd be like, can't you just get on that nice Honda 125, I just watch him do A few hot laps around town, teacher to do a wheelie. Couple wheelie. Couple of 12 o' clock clockers. Just pull up next to a cruiser and kick the door real hard and just take off. He can't chase you.
- [79:51]
Rudy Pavich
Yeah, I've seen bad news bears. Kelly Leek was all through that ball field. It's fine. Yeah. Yep. I don't know if we have the video up. I don't know if you wanted to watch it.
- [79:59]
Adam Carolla
I've seen it a million times. It's a bad shooting.
- [80:01]
Rudy Pavich
Yeah, absolutely.
- [80:02]
Adam Carolla
It's a bad shooting. And in a. Here's what I wanna say to everyone. You are relying on these people to do something that's not within human capabilities, which is C red, adrenaline dump, scuffle, pepper spray, have no idea who's armed and who's not armed, and not have anybody's gun go off prematurely. That's what you're asking. It's not gonna happen. But not, not as long as human beings are carrying the gun. So you will get shot. You can go. Well, that's not right. Well, I agree it's not right, absolutely. But it's. Stay home. Stay home will be the answer. And then if you stay home, by the way, then they can just do their fucking job and that'll be that. Like they do in many other municipalities. But you guys won't do that. And then you make these arguments. Here's my. Here's my thing about all these fuck wads. And I don't like all these guys because they're not getting anything accomplished. And ICE is there to remove people. Let them do their fucking job. And then here's your argument. There's two arguments. One is, ICE says 70% of these people have, you know, violent criminal histories or whatever. And then the argument is 70% of these people don't have any criminal history. All right? And then. And by the way, that means 30% of them have a violent criminal history. Could be rape, could be murder, could be any pedophilia, whatever it is. So I'm fine with the ratio. Here's what you're basically saying to me. Take 70% of the people are here illegally because they're not supposed to be here illegally anyway. That's just the law. So they're here illegal. That's 70%. And then 30% are actual felons who have actually involve themselves with crime and God knows what, human trafficking, who knows, rape, who knows? That's a fine ratio for me. Now you want to flip it and you go 70% violent crime and 30% just here illegally. That's fine too. They're all here illegally, idiots. And then there's. And it's worth it to get rid of 70%. And I'm using their numbers, which I'm sure is a lie, but it is worth getting rid of 70% percent of people who are here illegally to get 30, which turns out to be a large group of people. If you're getting into the millions of rapists and child abusers and murders, I'm fine with that. So I'll use your math. The other math that you assholes like to use is, which is another lie. But it's fine, we'll use it. They go, well, you know, American born citizens, people here kill at a higher rate than the illegals who are here. You understand that? Which is a lie. But fine, I'll go along with you. So your argument is, however many of these chicks got raped or killed by illegals, that's okay because a higher percentage of white folks, or maybe a white guy would have killed them later in the week. I guess that's your argument. I don't want anybody. It should be zero. This is argument. It's a retarded argument where they go, well, these guys come in and most of them don't murder anybody. And then you guys who are born here, you murder more. All right, but there's still some amount of murder that you're just agreeing on. There's some amount of murder. So the white guys kill a hundred of our daughters and then the guys are here illegally, only kill 37 of our daughters. Is that your argument? How about my argument? They shouldn't be here. Then we just have 100 dead from whitey fucking retards. Shut the fuck up with your retarded arguments. They're not supposed to be here. Go the fuck home. You're not doing anything and you're getting people killed. And so is Waltz and so is what's his name, Jacob Fry. You're inciting all this stuff. Try it. All right, let's do an experiment. Everyone stay home for five days and let's see if there's anybody shot.
- [83:54]
Rudy Pavich
Yeah. Let me ask you about this. I've been thinking a lot about it the last couple of days, especially being from Minnesota and what, what if because I grew up in a time when we thought that there was supposed to be some shame and it worked a little bit and my dad was named the number one biggest ower of child support in the state of Minnesota. And the state of Minnesota and they.
- [84:17]
Adam Carolla
Said he Wouldn't amount to anything.
- [84:18]
Megyn Kelly
Yeah, right.
- [84:19]
Rudy Pavich
I mean, obviously on top of the win.
- [84:21]
Adam Carolla
Now, wait, was that all the way back in high school? Like, I got class clown. There's more likely to succeed. Yeah, he got that designation in high school.
- [84:30]
Rudy Pavich
Put him in the yearbook.
- [84:31]
Pluto TV Announcer
Yeah.
- [84:31]
Rudy Pavich
I mean, there was another woman that was with him. It was a boy girl thing, you know? Yeah, it was like best dressed, nice as eyes, you know, and then owes most child support. Yes, obviously. But they put out a list to sort of shame deadbeat dads in the pain. And there was a lot of states that wouldn't do it because they thought there was some sort of anonymity, disclosure, and it was against people's civil rights. You're not supposed to release their name as the government. Okay, well, at this point, obviously ICE is not going anywhere. So let's start to maybe put a plan into place in Minneapolis, where we. We released. They have a list of all the people that they're looking for. Why don't we put out a list of names? Because what happened was instead of shaming guys into paying child support, a lot of them, much like my dad, got out of the state. They just split. And then I didn't. I grew up without a dad for the first 14 years of my life. And it. It sort of triggered a lot of people leaving.
- [85:22]
Adam Carolla
Why not just put out a list.
- [85:23]
Rudy Pavich
Of all the people that they're looking for and go. If you know any of these people, there's a reward. Let us know. If you know these people, hand them in. Or if not, if you know that we're coming for them and you see us with that person. Let us do our job at least. It's a plan to start to move things in the right direction. Cuz right now it just feels like it's the goddamn Wild West.
- [85:42]
Adam Carolla
I agree. But the municipal police department and Fry and the mayor and the governor need to fucking do something because they're getting people killed. The blood is on their hands. They like to pretend it's on ice. It's not. It's on them because they're letting this chaos and they're perpetuating and they're calling everyone a Nazi. And by the way, if you believe it, then you should be protesting. All right. The village Larchmont village prostitute story. That is one.
- [86:08]
Rudy Pavich
Talk about this one. Sure, yeah. So with much of the Los Angeles Police Department understaffed vice units focused on the illegal sex trades in the infamous Figueroa street corridor, residents in the picturesque community of Larchmont Village say much of that business had spilled into their neigh.
- [86:26]
Adam Carolla
Yeah, spill this. Operative word. Family friendly community now becoming a living nightmare. Residents in Larchmont Village say it's all because of rampant prostitution. They say the obscene behavior often takes place just a few feet from their homes.
- [86:39]
Megyn Kelly
And they say it is getting worse, despite their pleas to police for help. KTLA's Rachel Menitoff is live from Larchmont Village with the story.
- [86:47]
Adam Carolla
Great assignment.
- [86:50]
Megyn Kelly
Cher. Rick, people tell us that oftentimes blocks.
- [86:54]
Adam Carolla
There has to be some discussion in the newsroom. Like, all right, we need someone to go out to Sea World because a new dolphin was born. And the dolphin is named Cubby. And we're gonna do a fluff piece on Cubby. It's beautiful. We're gonna win. And then someone has to go out to Larchmont and stand in jizz. Now, who's Sheila? I saw your hand go up first.
- [87:14]
Rudy Pavich
Wait, whale gizz. No, no, no, no. Human jizz.
- [87:17]
Adam Carolla
Tammy, better start hitting it. San Diego's gonna be at least three hours with traffic, so why don't you chop up the van right now? Anyway, Tammy, I'll tell you what. I got a couple spent condoms in the bathroom I found. Why don't you bring those with you in case we need to get a cutaway or something like that. All right, we'll do it at night, too. Here we go.
- [87:37]
Megyn Kelly
Cher. Rick, people tell us that oftentimes an entire block will be filled with parked cars where people are engaging in sex, and then they'll throw out their trash and used items onto the street. This has actually been happening for many years, but lately it seem to be escalating.
- [87:53]
Adam Carolla
By the way, can I pause it there? If you have to pick up a used item with a ballpoint pen, that's bad. Yeah, that's a bad item. Yeah, because you don't pick up a Coke can with a ballpoint pen. You know what I mean?
- [88:05]
Rudy Pavich
That's a Blues Brothers one. Prophylactic one used.
- [88:09]
Adam Carolla
That's right.
- [88:10]
Megyn Kelly
During the day. This largemont neighborhood is picturesque. Longtime homeowners say it's what, when the sun goes down. That things become sketchy and the unwanted encounters begin.
- [88:23]
James Woods (clip)
They're taking advantage of a human need in a disgusting way.
- [88:27]
Megyn Kelly
Larry says he often wakes up to this. A woman, barely clothed, walking across the street. Used condoms, sanitary napkins, tissues, and all kinds of remnants from illegal sex trafficking and prostitution.
- [88:40]
James Woods (clip)
I have to come out in the morning and scoop up used condoms with semen coming out of.
- [88:46]
Adam Carolla
I looked at a cat. You gotta rewind in A second. I've always paused it. I'm always amazed at the people that have to give you the extra thing. You know what I mean?
- [89:01]
Rudy Pavich
Oh, they give you a little too much info.
- [89:04]
Adam Carolla
Yeah. It's a weird thing. Like, they'll go like, I went in to visit Nana and she was out of her mind, and she's in dementia and she's in nothing but a gown. And so I was trying to soothe her, but her vagina, you know, and you're like, come on, just say you visited your grandma. You just visited your grandma. We'll do the dementia gown math.
- [89:23]
Rudy Pavich
Yeah.
- [89:24]
Adam Carolla
You know what I mean?
- [89:24]
Rudy Pavich
I'll keep Nana's vagina in my head. I don't need you saying it.
- [89:27]
Adam Carolla
This guy says he had to pick up the used condom. So we've done the math. We've done the math. We know there wasn't pixie dust or Nutella coming out of there. We know what's in the condom, but he had to add it.
- [89:43]
Megyn Kelly
And prostitution.
- [89:44]
James Woods (clip)
I have to come out in the morning and. And scoop up used condoms. Semen coming out of them. You can't imagine how disgusting it is. And to be able to have to do it every day, it's really quite remarkable.
- [89:55]
Rudy Pavich
Occasionally.
- [89:56]
Adam Carolla
Hold on, let me put down my McFlurry or whatever. I got a vanilla shake. Let me set that down. All right, keep it going. So do it every day.
- [90:06]
James Woods (clip)
It's really quite remarkable.
- [90:08]
Rudy Pavich
Occasionally. Sometimes it's violent.
- [90:10]
Adam Carolla
The sex workers and johns are getting in fights with each other. They're screaming at each other. They're getting physical with each other.
- [90:16]
Megyn Kelly
Other nearby neighborhoods impacted are St. Andrew Square, Windsor Square, and Koreatown. Karen Gilman says police advise them not to intervene. So instead they've put up these signs letting the johns and the pimps know they're on camera and neighbors are recording their license.
- [90:32]
Adam Carolla
Pause it there. Okay, here's the thing. If you're not gonna force anything, then who cares how much camera time you get? You know what I mean? Like, if someone said, here's a bank. Yeah, you can't rob it. You might get shot. All right? There's another bank. It's filled with cameras. Oh, okay. But they're never gonna do anything. I'd go, well, then are the cameras gonna stop me from robbing the bank? No. Well, then I'll just rob the bank with the cameras in it.
- [90:56]
Rudy Pavich
Yeah.
- [90:57]
Adam Carolla
I don't care if I'm being filmed. Nobody in LA cares. No criminals care if they're being filmed. Cause they never enforce anything, so it doesn't matter. We, we did this in the wrong headed department. In the every single thing a leftist or progressive, every idea they have is wrong and ends up wrong department. This is one more of why are we criminalizing? This is a sex working community. This impacts women of color. And it's like, all right, more jizz on the sidewalk. Everybody come on down. It's awesome. They just. You guys should know Nithya Raman, the dumb shit city council member who by the way, was mad at Toyota for making catalytic converters so easy to steal on their car. That dumb shit who was also responsible for tearing down the guy's tree house in Sherman Oak. Simultaneously while. While the Palisades in Malibu are burned to the ground, there's no permits. She's tearing down a tree house. I mean, her constituency, they had a big celebration like a year ago because they got a no U turn sign taken down on Hyperion in Silver Lake where there was all gay cruising going on. And the neighbors were tired of all the gay guys cruising up and down and given blowjobs in a shrub in front of their house. So at some point in like 1985, they put a sign up that said no U turn. Meaning you can't just have a never ending succession of cars cruising in front of my house looking for gay hookups. She took the sign down with a bunch of he shes and drag queens nine months ago and looked at that as a huge victory for the citizens of Los Angeles. That's where their head is at. So you guys create all this stuff and then it comes home to roost. And then the dumb shits in the neighborhood who voted for you come out and they go, I don't know what's going on here. There's people out on my front yard having sex. There's condoms everywhere, feminine napkins. We've called the city council. Yes. Because we created this.
- [93:18]
Rudy Pavich
Yeah.
- [93:18]
Adam Carolla
We've filled our city with rats. We stopped enforcing everything and now we have this. Where's Nithia? I don't know. She's a poster child. She went to Harvard.
- [93:29]
Rudy Pavich
This one also, I think jizz on the sidewalk is a John Cougar melancholy line. Yeah. Blood on the scarecrow.
- [93:36]
Adam Carolla
Jizz on the sidewalk.
- [93:38]
Pluto TV Announcer
Yeah.
- [93:40]
Adam Carolla
So we'll find Nithya. But either way, this is their idea of what they're in office for. To go with drag queens down to Hyperion Boulevard and take down a U turn sign. By the way, in a city that has more traffic signs about not turning right on red or no U turns or no merge or whatever. All we are is one big traffic sign. She's interested in that traffic sign. Yeah. Cause she said. Cause they're dumb. But this is what we have.
- [94:08]
Rudy Pavich
Oh, there it is. Yeah.
- [94:10]
Adam Carolla
It's the greatest. This is the greatest. I don't know. Is this a year old? This is the greatest piece of footage ever. And I like the idea that they celebrate this.
- [94:19]
Megyn Kelly
Martinez and Nithya Raman were on hand today to help remove the signs. They say the no cruising and no U turn signs were put up in the 1990s to prevent people in the gay community from meeting up with other gay people. Yes.
- [94:32]
Adam Carolla
On people's lawns.
- [94:34]
Rudy Pavich
Yes. In their apartments.
- [94:35]
Megyn Kelly
Yes.
- [94:35]
Adam Carolla
That's why they were put. You caught us. We don't want people boffin on our lawn. Okay. Where I raised my kids. Yes. Yes. That's why there were us. But you can keep the story going because it's great. I was also surprised that these U.
- [94:52]
Rudy Pavich
Turn signs were still up. And at first, you know, they seem.
- [94:55]
Adam Carolla
A little, oh, okay. It's just a no U turn sign. But when you learn the history of it and you realize that these were used to profile gay people, it's so.
- [95:04]
Rudy Pavich
Important that we have these removed. Well, it's not like you're a straight guy and you make a U turn there and then the cops pull you over and you go, oh, no, no, no, I'm into vag. That's my thing. And they go, oh, you know what? No ticket for you then. Sorry about that. No, it's for everybody.
- [95:18]
Adam Carolla
They have no U turn signs all over the people who live in that neighborhood. What they did is they got to their city council people in 1989 and they lobbied to get the signs put up because they said, we're tired of these gay guys driving around in a circle in front of our house at 2am after they leave cuffs the bar in Silver Lake. So they put the signs up. But their number one job, by the way, Nithya Raman looks at her job as taking down tree houses and taking down signs, not permits. Rebuilding motorcycle gangs, graffiti, none of that. This is her job. Yeah.
- [96:01]
Rudy Pavich
And they're not thinking about two years from now when somebody makes an illegal U turn because there is no sign. They don't see it. They make that U turn and somebody slams into the side of them. And now we got a couple of dead girls on our hands. They never think about that down the road. They're just thinking about the optics of it. Look at us. And the thumbs up that we get. For the LGBTQ community.
- [96:19]
Adam Carolla
Play the rest of this. It's great. That's by the middle of the week. What are you doing today?
- [96:26]
Rudy Pavich
Parked boulevard right on the side of District 13.
- [96:28]
Adam Carolla
And today we removed Hugo Soto Marquis, hyphenated Spanish name always retarded that were.
- [96:33]
Rudy Pavich
Used to discriminate against the LGBT community. And so we removed the last Rembrandts.
- [96:38]
Adam Carolla
Of that terrible policy.
- [96:40]
Rudy Pavich
And so it's a very joyful and exciting day.
- [96:42]
Adam Carolla
That's a big day. I live in Los Angeles where you don't realize how much this has impacted my life. Relic of the 90s. Anti gay policies in Los Angeles. It's not anti gay. There were signs that explicitly said no cruising, which had been removed years ago. Yeah, no cruising during the 1990s. It was very. There's no cruising anywhere where a lot of the lgbt. LGBT community had no other option but to meet each other in the streets. So this. All right, you're gonna pause this. Listen. There's no other option if you're gay but to screw on people's lawns. Don't you have an apartment with a pull out sofa or futon?
- [97:18]
Rudy Pavich
They have hourly rates at hotels. I mean, come on.
- [97:21]
Adam Carolla
There was no other option. We just had to have sex against someone's shrub. There's no, you know, of course you're being a little amorous.
- [97:30]
Rudy Pavich
Yeah.
- [97:31]
Adam Carolla
What are you going to do? You got to hit the lawn.
- [97:34]
Rudy Pavich
We saw an old sofa on the way here and I told my girlfriend we must stop and fuck on this sofa outside of this person's house because it's there. We have no other choice. We can't go back to my apartment in Las Vegas. We must do it here. On the streets of Los Angeles.
- [97:46]
Adam Carolla
Yes. What are the choices? There's nothing else they could do. All right. By the way, I love that. I love that this guy reached out to. I love it when these raison debt of these idiots is like, I'm gonna get a sign taken down. That's it. Yeah. Such a hero. Such a hero.
- [98:06]
Rudy Pavich
That's all they're proposing. Get a sign taken down.
- [98:09]
Adam Carolla
Jesus, man. You know his. You know his dad's sitting home in Indiana and he sees this.
- [98:13]
Rudy Pavich
Oh yeah.
- [98:14]
Adam Carolla
He's like, ah, Jesus Christ, I told you.
- [98:17]
James Woods (clip)
Yep.
- [98:18]
Rudy Pavich
I blame your side of the family, Maureen.
- [98:20]
Adam Carolla
Yeah, that's right. All right, throw the clock up, please, Andrew. Come on. And I just wann this bigger picture. I want people to get this picture. All the fakacta ideas. I was explaining this to Dr. Drew, but I like this analogy. All the bad ideas that come out of the left, all of them, all the. We're gonna decriminalize prostitution because it disproportionately affects the brown and black community. And these are sex work. Are sex working men. And now you just got condoms everywhere and chicks being used and, I don't know, really junky chicks being turned out by johns and used for sex. That's the direction you want to go. These people need help. But every one of their Defund the police, okay? Open the border. Okay? They are all, all of their ideas. Let's start teaching English and Spanish in schools, okay? The kids don't learn English and then they get held back their entire life. Let them learn English starting at age 5. By the time they're 9, they'll be fluent and that'll be that. But you want to teach them in Spanish, which means they'll be held back their entire life. But here's the example. I'm saying whether it's defund the police and then more crime, but take like English versus Spanish in Los Angeles. Like if you said English is the language, that's what we're going to teach them in. They'll immerse in it. They're fine. They'll catch on fast. Maybe it'll be tough in kindergarten and first grade, but they'll catch on fast and it'll be what's best for them. They would argue and they would call you racist and xenophobic. Every one of their horrible leftist ideas all eventually gets torn down. Like everything with COVID Everything with COVID you guys got wrong. You got masks wrong. You got distance wrong. Ivermectin, everything. Flu, I'm sorry, vaccines. You got everything wrong, but you're right in the moment. And then we do this. So every one of your horrible ideas is like gravity. So gravity is like the truth. Eventually common sense and the truth catch up. But their ideas are sort of like this. And this was my analogy. If I hold this pen out and I drop it, it's immediately captured by gravity and you go, okay, well that's not going to work. Their ideas are affected by gravity, but down the road. So it's like I hold the pen out and I let go and it floats there and I go, see, see, see. And then down the road, the kid who got Spanish instead of English is working a shitty dead end job because he's being held back because he doesn't know the language of the land that he lives in. But it's down the road, the border. Shit, the defund the police, all things Covid, decriminalized prostitution, clean injection zones, judgment free zones where they'll get syringes. Okay? It sits for a second and everyone applauds. You know, let's get rid of the U turn sign. Let's do that. And then it sits there and they go, see? Not so bad, right? And then the fucking chickens come home to roost. That's all your horrible ideas. So let's just see if we can understand that in advance so we don't have to then mop up after your bad ideas. The whole reason everyone's getting shot everywhere in your own Minnesota is because of the bad deals of the open border. You left the border open, millions of people came in, and now we need to get them out. That's on you. That's not on ice. That's on your fucking horrible Biden administration. You guys did this, and now we have to clean up your mess. And people are getting shot because they're gonna get shot, because it has to go that way. Because you can't take thousands and hundreds of thousands of armed guys, push them up against crazy bitches and minivans and expect this not to happen. It's going to happen. How come it's happening? Because you guys left the fucking border open. You did it, okay? And don't give me that shit where like I didn't want. He brought materials to build a border wall and you sold them off for scrap. So don't tell me this isn't part of your plan. All right, Rudy Pavic, great job. Go to amcarolla.com for all live shows.
