Throughout the fight, Adam and Costner watch closely as Costner's son participates in the event, showcasing both competitive spirit and subtle camaraderie.

5. Exploring 'Big Arm Energy' with Mel Gibson [33:42 – 35:05]

The topic of "Big Arm Energy" emerges as Adam draws parallels between physical presence and confidence. He humorously links it to similar concepts like "Big Dick Energy," emphasizing how physical traits can influence perception and behavior.

Adam Carolla [27:38]: "Big arm energy is equivalent to big tit energy on a chick."

This leads to an engaging discussion about Mel Gibson's own embodiment of this energy during the UFC event.

6. Challenges with Permits and Regulations in California [35:05 – 74:18]

Adam vents about the excessive bureaucracy and stringent regulations in California, especially concerning building permits. He shares his frustrations with the complicated and costly process of obtaining various permits for construction projects.

Adam Carolla [52:39]: "The more permits, the more money. But it's bigger than that. It's control."

He illustrates the absurdity of certain regulations, such as the requirement to fence around oak trees on his property, highlighting the unnecessary hurdles faced by homeowners.

Adam Carolla [55:33]: "Imagine telling a founding father your land that you bought, that you own, that you pay taxes on. There's a tree on your property, you're not allowed to cut it out."

The discussion underscores Adam's broader critique of governmental overreach and the inefficiency of bureaucratic systems.

7. Meeting Pete Berg and Erica Rhodes [35:05 – 42:01]

8. 'Big Arm Energy' Deep Dive and Cultural References [33:42 – 35:05]

Continuing from earlier discussions, Adam delves deeper into the concept of "Big Arm Energy," tying it to cultural notions of masculinity and confidence. He uses Mel Gibson as a prime example of someone exuding this energy, blending humor with social commentary.

Adam Carolla [28:49]: "Big tit energy is number one top. But not that far below. Big arm energy."

The conversation touches upon how physical attributes can influence social hierarchies and personal interactions.

9. News and Political Rants [47:04 – 99:53]

The latter part of the episode transitions into a news segment where Adam and Jason discuss various current events and political issues. Topics range from Elon Musk's controversial actions to California's ongoing regulatory challenges.

Adam Carolla [83:06]: "Elon Musk rips those who accused him of giving the Nazi salute and says they need better dirty tricks."

Adam's outspoken nature shines through as he critiques political figures and policies with his trademark bluntness.

10. Reflections on Freedom and Regulation [74:18 – 78:38]

Adam reflects on the erosion of personal freedoms due to increasing regulations, using the beach as a metaphor for societal liberty. He bemoans how simple pleasures and freedoms are being restricted by overly restrictive rules.

Adam Carolla [77:18]: "The more signs, the bigger the sign is at the beach, the less freedom you have living in that state or that city."

Transcript

[Adam Carolla]

Well, in this episode, Mayhem Miller's doing the news and I'm doing a lot of rants. And we'll do that right after this. From Corolla One studios in Glendale, California, this is the Adam Carolla show with Jason Mayhem Miller on the news and trending topics. And now reminding Governor Newsom, whoever Delta smelt it. Delta. Delta'd Adam Carolla. Yeah. Gotta get it on, gotta get it on. You know what I love? I love the best part of my childhood. There weren't a lot of good parts. It's the reply to when they go, you know, like, I'm rubber and you're glue and it bounces off me. I like that clever reply. So someone would accuse you of farting. Do you know what the. When they go, you cut the cheese. Do you remember that? The reply. There had to be a comeback to being accused of something. You cut the cheese. Then you would reply, I may have cut the cheese, but you licked the knife. Which I don't even know why that was smart. But like, wait a minute. And then you reply to whoever smelt it, dealt it was he who denies it supplies it. Was that a part of, like, we had a lot of fart related terminology. Had to win on some sort of fart technicality. Do. Does anyone have the you lick the knife one, or is that some sort of LA Valley thing? Yeah, that's a 70s Valley thing.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Very specific.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, I remember a lot of good. And somehow you would win. Like, you go, hey, man, did you just cut the cheese? Hey, I may have cut the cheese, but you lick the knife like, mic drop. I'm getting out of the station wagon with a mic drop. Like, I don't know what happened there, but somehow you licked the knife, but.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

You wheeled out the munster. I don't know how deep can you get with this thing?

[Adam Carolla]

It keeps going.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

So, all right, so I was talking in a subsequent show about going to the ufc.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

So then I got tickets to the UFC and then just threw Dana something celebrity stuff. So. And I never go to the ufc, but I got tickets to the ufc. And then Mike August said I had an extra ticket. Then Mike August said, why don't you invite Costner? And I was like, oh, Lee Malone. Which is always, usually my impulse, you know, don't bother that guy. Leave him alone. You know, And Costner and I are friendly, but, you know, I don't know if we're comfortable with me on a mandate friendly, you know, so Mike did the invite Costner and then I did the Lee Malone. It's always my first impulse. And then I sat with it for, like, three or four days, and I started a little introspection. Like, I'm like, why is your default mode, Lee Malone? Like, why is Kevin Costner going to be bothered if you ask him to go to UFC fight? Maybe he won't go. Maybe he will go, but he's not gonna, like, be angry about it.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

You know, you gotta practice being vulnerable, Adam.

[Adam Carolla]

Vulnerable, vulnerable.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

You put your chin out there, you know?

[Adam Carolla]

So then, as we talked about, I said, you know, why not? Why not just. We're looking at a picture of me and Kassa start to fight. I said, yeah, why not ask Kostya to the fight? Fuck. The worst you could do is. Well, worst you could do is no reply. But let's just go him out of town, or I'm working on Horizon 3 or whatever it is. So I just send him a text. I go, I got tickets to UFC. I go to the UFC. And he gets back to me, like, in 10 minutes. And he just writes, as we talked about. He just writes in Vegas, period. So then I go, of course he's in Vegas. He's not in town. He's working on something. He's not going to the UFC fight. So then I write back, oh, well, next time maybe you're out of town.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

You already fell back.

[Adam Carolla]

I'm already falling back. I've already fell back. I was like, next time. I will do it next time. My bad. And then he wrote like, no, dumb shit, is the fight in Vegas? And I was like, well, that's not really on me, because you didn't put a question mark. And also, I was just in Vegas, and somehow my brain is like, oh, I was just in Vegas. Oh, Costa was in Vegas. Oh, we could have hung out in Vegas. Oh, I didn't know he was in Vegas. So I'm already going down an elaborate. I built an elaborate facade of Vegas related regrets. So then he goes, I'm not in Vegas. Where's the fight? And then I go, oh, it's in Inglewood at the Inuit Dome or whatever where the Clippers play. And then he goes, oh, I got my son's volleyball game on Saturday, same night, you know, when stuff sort of starts as a. Okay, he's paving the way to a polite decline. But then he goes, but after what time's the fight start? So then I'm like, you know, main cards, probably seven, you know, under prelims, before that. And then he goes, oh, okay, well, my son's volleyball Game is like kind of all day. Ish, but a little later in the afternoon at the convention center.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

Son's a cracker Jack, by the way. 15 and a half, 16, good hops spiking that ball, I'll tell you. Let me say this, sports fans, we are a little bit snobby as sports guys. Like we want to watch football, we want to watch ufc, we want to watch hockey. But I will tell you when we watch baseball, I will tell you at a lower level, like a non professional Sport version, watching 16 year old dudes play volleyball is pretty good. They go at it and if that ball's flying around and you're going, oh, that's a good play. It's a good setup. Like, you know, they're talking. It's a fun sport to watch. It's much better than baseball. Baseball slower and shit and boring as shit. And I would rather probably watch a high school volleyball game than a Dodgers game in terms of just sheer sports entertainment. Not, not like, well, you get a hot dog and a beer and none of that, but just the sheer sports entertainment.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Tennis ball is America's sumo wrestling. It's a big pageant, right? Everything, you know, he goes, knocks the dirt off his cleat. It's part of the pastime.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, I don't like it. But. But also volleyball is a sport where there is almost no drop off between men's and women's.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

What do you mean?

[Adam Carolla]

Men's basketball is awesome and women's basketball is like. There's a drop off.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

No slam dunks. No. You know, even the way they shoot their threes are sort of a chess pass, you know, it's not men's basketball. There's a chasm between men's basketball and women's basketball and it's fairly large. Men's volleyball and women's volleyball, there's not that big a chasm. The women kick ass. They're not getting as vertical, they're not spiking it as hard, but they're spiking it. They're getting vertical, they're setting up, they're digging it out, they're saving it. They're all talking. I like it because they're talking the whole time to each other about communicating about spikes and setups and whatever. They're doing the fake spike with the setup and the other ones come in there. When I would watch my 14 year old daughter play 14 year old volleyball, I was like, these chicks are playing good. Like it wasn't a. Okay, now here we go. You know, What I'm saying strategy.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

And the action still holds up. I get it.

[Adam Carolla]

There's not a big space between male volleyball at the high school college or Olympic level. Or beach volleyball. Probably rather watch the ladies from Brazil. You know, I don't know. I'm looking at you, Joe. Your sports night. I don't think there's a big drop off in volleyball. Like, like, okay, if you said to me, hey, I got tickets at NBA game, I'd go, wait, oh, NBA, yeah, I'm in. And if you said, no, no, wnba. I'd go, oh, yeah. I mean, I think we're La Sparks.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Is a fun game.

[Adam Carolla]

Look, but I'm not a hater. I'm just going, oh, I thought you said NBA, wnba. If you said, you know, Kevin Costner's son versus Kevin Costner's daughter playing volleyball, I'd go, yeah, I'm in. There's not. There's not much of a drop off.

[Joe]

Volleyball does right. What. What women's basketball does wrong. And they lower the net.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, do they lower it?

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

That's. Yeah. I was wondering why not. But then Brittany Grimer would just be jamming on everybody the whole time.

[Adam Carolla]

They lower the net at the college level. Olympic level.

[Joe]

I believe it's lower all around.

[Adam Carolla]

Volleyball height. Sorry, WNBA could save itself.

[Joe]

Lower the net, raise the shorts. I just fixed the whole league.

[Adam Carolla]

You just fixed the league.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Commissioner.

[Adam Carolla]

What is. So let's go Olympic. What is Olympic height? Male net. And what's Olympic high? Female net. Yeah. Because what you want is the people getting over the net and spiking the ball. Listen, anybody who's played hoop, I don't know if this is a part of your childhood or not, but one of the funniest. North Carolina street ball. Street ball? Yeah, basketball.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Oh, yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

Okay. One of the coolest things is the junior high. Check that. And Joe, I think I'm gonna speak to your point here, and I'll be curious if you guys have experienced this, but there was a grade school across the street from where I grew up, Colfax Elementary. The basketball court at the Colfax elementary, the hoop was eight foot, maybe eight and a half. It's a full foot and a half or two feet shorter than a ten foot regulation hoop, and the court's a little smaller, and the next thing you know, you're 13, four. Now we ain't in. We're not at Colfax. We're in junior high, even high school. But all of a sudden you're Dr. J. It's like finger rolls, reverse Dunks, you know, alley oop dunks. Like, we were having a fun time because that fucking thing is down two foot the.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

And one championship.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, we're all kind of like could touch the rim in high school, but not dunk. Dunk a volleyball or something.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

You could lower down, right. And then it was just game on until someone broke the backboard.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. And you're just driving to the hoop and dunking and guys are setting you up in your alley, Ooping and stuff like that. Like, it was a funner, more exciting game.

[Joe]

On my high school basketball team, when we had like a day off, it was just like, yeah, it's just a chill day. We all, like. The coach would take us to the elementary school and we'd play on the little hoops. That was practice. That was practice on a day where we were getting a reward, really.

[Adam Carolla]

All right. Olympic men's volleyball net is 7 foot 11 and 5, 8. Which. Could we just. Can we just go 8 at that point, you're 3, 8 off of 8. Like, just call it. Call it 8 foot tall, while a woman's is 7 foot 4 and an 8th, which is confusing. But that 7 inches or so, plus, that's a difference. That makes a difference. And yeah, you're right. The NBA could have a lot of dunks and alley oops and reverse slams and finger rolls and shit like that if they would drop it from. Just go from 10 to 9.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

W. Yeah, sorry.

[Adam Carolla]

W. NBA. All right, so.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

So you went to the fights, right? We're not going to talk about volleyball the whole time, are we? Because I've not got nothing for you, bud.

[Adam Carolla]

So I said, so Costner's like, well, my son's playing a volleyball game. I said, all right, well, how do you want to do this? And he goes, well, just pick me up at my hotel at three, and then we'll go down to the Convention center and we'll watch volleyball. And then we'll get back in the car and we'll go down the road to the Fix It Center Intuit Dome.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Intuit Dome, right.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, the Intuit Dome. And then we'll watch the game. So then I go, okay, I'll just pick you up at three. So he's staying at some cool hotel on the west side, you know, So I got a driver. Just go pick him up at 3 and then go out to the convention center, 45 minutes away or whatever, figure out how to get in, whatever. Go watch some pretty good volleyball. I sit down courtside. You sit in the court. Now it's a.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

It's a Jack Nicholson seats.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. Yeah. That's all there is, basically. And there's 80 games going on at once.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

80.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, yeah. They're balls flying all over the place. And I sit down and I'm sitting there for about three minutes, immediately get bonked in the head hard with a volleyball. Because these guys are spiking, like, on the other courts.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

So you're watching.

[Adam Carolla]

They're angry at those balls, man. It's like, hard like crazy. And one hits and skips, and it just. Oh, yeah.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Blast your glasses off. Was that one of those.

[Adam Carolla]

It was a little high on the head. It didn't get the glasses. It was. Now, I normally have insane peripheral vision and lightning reflexes, but Costner was like, what time is it? What seat assignment? Or what time? He said something. Oh, he. He wanted to know if there was something on our ticket that was printed out. And I was like, I don't know. Let me look. And he didn't have his glass on. I start as soon as I look down. Whack. And Costner made a move like he saw it. He tried to save me. Couldn't save me.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

He tried to hit your very apologetic Mohicans block.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. He tried to wax on. Tried to wax on that volleyball. Whack me in the head. Now. I couldn't say shit. I didn't go like, oh, someone give me some ice? Or who did this? Or what's the meaning of this? I had to pretend like it never happened. I was just like, yeah, no, cool. Yeah. No. Because when I would start crying. Stop crying. In volleyball, you got a concussion, though. I got my bell rung. I got my bell rung. Like, I got a hard spike, volleyball, right flush, temple.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Pow.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. But I couldn't complain.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

I think it would be worse or better if it was a woman's volleyball hitting.

[Adam Carolla]

You better.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Little bit off of that masculine energy in that.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. I could feel the bro sweat on that. So I got bonked. Then we watched three games. They're good, close games. Son won the first two. Son good player. Very good player. Good hops.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Tall guy.

[Adam Carolla]

Not the tallest on his team, but those guys are pretty tall. But he was probably about 6 foot, but he got some hops and spiking the ball and playing a good game. Costner was talking to him and that kind of stuff. And then Costner did a move I really liked. At some point, they lost the third game. The last game we saw, they lost. Close game, good game. They lost. And Costner's like, all right, let's go. And I go, okay. And we just get up. He just turned around and we left. No, hey, Sean, I'm really proud of you, Or I got you a stuffed animal, or you need any popcorn. It was just. We just got up and left. Well, at some point, he did not say bye to his son, did he?

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Look, he gave.

[Adam Carolla]

No, not a look. We just got up and left. I said, is your son staying with you when you're out here? You know, at a nice hotel, real nice hotel, he wants to stay with his team, hang out, more fun. Like, okay, good. Normal. Normal dude. So didn't say bye. Appreciate that. Just left, went down, got in the car, went up the street into a dome. Did the below ground parking, you know, the suv, Cadillacs with the whatever sign, you know, could.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Cool guy entrance. Cool guy entrance.

[Adam Carolla]

Cool guy entrance. Never do it. You know, Drove underground. You drive underground, see a bunch of tall brothers getting out of the cars in front of you. You go, NBA guys, I think. I don't know. I don't know.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Tall brothers got tickets.

[Adam Carolla]

A lot of tall brothers hanging around, you know, occasionally recognize someone. They get you out of car. You walk to the front, you check in, you get the wristband, and then they walk you through the tunnel, through the back ways. At some point, Costner says, I gotta go to the bathroom. I go, okay. And he goes, I'm not doing any interviews. And I go, yeah, okay. I don't know, but some guy could stop you with a camera or something. But it's not on me. I didn't set anything up, but I don't know. Oh, you know, it was the best part.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

When we went into the convention center and we're walking up the stairs to go watch the volleyball game. I got a, hey, Ace, man, what are you doing? And I was like, hey, Costner, I just got recognized right in front of your ass. Right in front of you first.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Oh, man.

[Adam Carolla]

Number one. And then I realized the UFC crowd, that's my crowd.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

As I was like, walking. Ace, man. Cause you enter the arena and everyone's like. And I don't think they really even figured Costner out for a second.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

They're like, I recognize that guy.

[Adam Carolla]

A lot of like, hey, Ace, man stuff. So that was good. And then we walked. We walked past our seats on the floor. And then as I was walking past the seats, no one was in them, but I saw Mel Gibson seat next to mine. You know, Nate Bargazzi, who I love. Like, I saw some recognizable names, you know, those are all Our seats, you know. And so. So we go walking through because Kosta's got to take a leak, you know, I don't blame him. So we say our. Our. Our liaison. Like, hey, where's the bath? They go, oh, we just go in the back and go to the hospitality area where the food and the drink is and everything. There's a bathroom back there. Okay? So we go walking in. And as we walk in, Costner just peels off into the men's room. And I go walking into the event, and the first guy spot is Bill Simmons. And Bill Simmons. And I love going to the movies, watching movies, talking about movies. And he's a huge Costner fan, right? So I come walking, and I just stand next to him. He goes, hey, Ace, what are you doing here? I go, just hanging out. And he goes, oh, who you here with? I go, oh, it's a good one. He goes, who'd you bring? I go, huh? We're gonna find out in a few minutes. When he comes out of that bathroom, Bill, he goes. He goes. I think he goes, Ooh, Dr. Drew. I go, no, no, bring it up, bring it up. He goes, kimmel. Did you bring Kimmel? I think he said kimmel. I can't remember. I go, no, no, bring it. Bring it up, bring it, bring it up. He goes, trump. I go, okay, bring it down, bring it down. Phil, it's fucking 30 hours before the inauguration. He's out on the West Coast. He's hanging out with me. I go, no, it's not Trump. It's above. Then all of a sudden, Costner just comes out of the bathroom and walks around, and Bill's like, oh, shit, it was awesome. So, talked to Bill for a little while, Ate a little something. Something. Costner likes the dessert. Ate the berries off his cheesecake. What? He's picking the berries off his little cheesecake. Blueberry on top of the little cheesecake thing. I go, you don't eat the blueberry? He goes, nah, not sweet enough. I go, okay, well, I'll take it. I said, ollie, I'm not fucking throwing away food. I don't care who this is. So then it's time to watch the fights. We go in, we watch the last prelim before the main fight, main card starts. Sit down. Here comes Mel Gibson. And I'm like, oh. And Mel Gibson is traveling with what? And mayhem. You'll know this because Jay Moore always seems to have this. But I. What. I would assume what I would lovingly refer to as jack off, sober guy buddy, when you See, certain sober guys travel around. There's some dude with weird facial hair that's just sitting and not talking. And you're like, sober support. Yeah. Who is this dude? And I think it's sober guy support.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Tackle me off the beers. Is that what the guy's there for?

[Adam Carolla]

I don't know, but I did a show with Jay in San Diego and he had sober guy with him. I've seen sober guy. Sober guy, A is sober. So what I'm saying is it's a UFC fight and the drinks are free. So if you're just sitting there drinking a fucking water, you're sober guy. Because there's a full bar back there and it's all gratis. And we're watching the fucking UFC on a Saturday night. So there's no beer in your house.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Mel Gibson's buddy is there to defend him.

[Adam Carolla]

Joe, you know what I'm talking about? No, I'm saying I think I'm looking at Mel Gibson. He's drinking a water, and the guy next to him. I'm not saying he's not friends with Mel Gibson. I'm saying he's not an actor, he's not a producer. He knows a lot about ufc. I'm talking to him. He's a regular dude.

[Joe]

Emotional support. Sober guy. Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

It's not. It's not a Hollywood dude. He's not a director. He's a dude. You know what I mean? And he's a dude who's not drinking a beer at the UFC at 8 o'clock at night. So in the. In, the beer's free. So he's sober guy. So. So Mel Gibson comes in with sober guy. Yeah. I'm assuming a sober guy.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

It doesn't mean you can't be friends with the guy. Eventually you hang out, you become friends. Yeah, but, you know, like, Jay Moore's guy wasn't the life of the party. Like, I mean, we spent backstage with him. It's not. It would be unlikely that Jay Moore would be hanging out with that guy if that guy wasn't sober guy. Am I speaking out of turn here, Joe?

[Joe]

No, it's very. I feel like this is a common thing. I feel like a lot of people who are sober and newly sober, they want to go out, but they don't want to bring their buddy who's going to house 60 free beers at the UFC fight with them. They bring the guy who's going to be like, yeah, I'll just. I'll have a water with you and hang out. And, yeah, Sponsor?

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, because you're asking for trouble. Because if Mel Gibson goes out with me and the bar's free and it's ufc, then I'm having a couple of cock. I'm just going to sit next to him having a fucking cocktail, you know?

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Yeah, act like you got some couth. Mel Gibson.

[Adam Carolla]

I was fine with it. But the thing that was funny is I'm sitting there and Mel Gibson's. The dude's name is Mel, by the way. Sober guy. I think it's sober. His name's Mel. So there's just two sheets that say Mel. Or, like, one says Mel Gibson. My two sheets just say Adam Carolla on it. Maybe his two seats say Mel Gibson, but the guy's name is Mel. But anyway, Mel Gibson comes by and his house just burned down in the fire. He's all over the place complaining about shit. I'm like, oh, man, we are so on, on. And the guy Mel Gibson seats, like next to mine, and Mel's like, all right, here we go. And then sober guy, like, standing there, and he goes, oh, yeah. All right, well, you sit down, Mel, and I'll sit. And I'm like, oh, he put. He put. He put a coaster. He put silver guy coaster between me and Mel Gibson with sober guy just sat next to me. And I'm like, oh, I want to talk. We talk about everything.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

So how the sober guy, he's nice. You guys rub elbows.

[Adam Carolla]

He knew a fair amount. He knew a lot about the ufc. So we're able to, you know, this guy's favorite. And this guy's a striker. That guy's a grappler. And, you know, we talked. It was fine. But I talked over him, too. To Mel. Hell yeah. Mel has. What I realize is something I want to think about, I want to discuss with you. Big arm energy. Dudes with big arms, like, naturally, big arms just fucking have a certain swagger. They walk in, they start calling shots. My arms are skinny, so I don't have big arm energy. It's big dick energy. But your dick's not out all the time. Arms are out all the time. The shit starts in high school. It's like a chick with big tits that kind of have that. I'll just walk to the front of the line and you'll listen to what I have to say. Cause you're staring at my bazumbas all the time. I think there's a big arm energy that's equivalent to big tit energy on a chick. The big arm kicks in somewhere around the 10th grade, you know, maybe 10th, 11th grade. And all of a sudden the other dudes. And you'll know it. The guy's always wearing the Izod, the lacasse. He's always wearing the short sleeve. It's a little tight. When he talks, he has a little flex, you know, put the forearm up, you know, he's got the naughty forearm, you know, doing that thing all time. It's a little. The big arm. It's. It's a little better than the big Calf energy. Big calf's another good guy's always in shorts. You know, the guys that are like. See the guys wearing like shorts and loafers, you know, and you're like, this a formal. Why are you wearing. And then you look at his calves, you go, oh, okay, all right.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

If I had this fucking calf showcasing them. Well, they put them out like chicks with big tits have cleavage. You know, they go like, you want to check it out?

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

You're getting me to tap into my strategy is going to wear some tight pants from now on.

[Adam Carolla]

Mel Gibson's got big arm energy. You know what I mean? And it's all right. They can be a little short. They just put cowboy boots on. And now the arms are always out and they're always wearing a short sleeve.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Mad Max.

[Adam Carolla]

Yep. Mel Gibson. It's the dead of winter. It's not. It's not snowing, but it's, you know, it's 51 degrees out. Fucking short sleeve. Short sleeve just going out. Everyone else is kind of wearing a dress shirt and like, you know, you've done enough of these fights. You know, they're kind of hip, Hollywood bomber jacket, whatever, baseball jacket, you know, something that's a little cool.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

He's wearing a sweater vest.

[Adam Carolla]

He's just literally wearing a short sleeve shirt, like, because he's got big arm energy.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

Okay. And it works because people kind of go, okay, leave him alone or get out of his way, or he's doing what he's got to do. He's got big arm energy. Big Tit Energy. Look, the pecking order is Big Tit Energy's number one top. That's the top. But. But not that far below. Big arm energy.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

And then below, that's big calf energy, which is. It's good.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Where are we putting bulge energy?

[Adam Carolla]

Bulge.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

I mean, obviously big.

[Adam Carolla]

Big dick energy.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Yes. I mean, but like, we don't even. It's not even that.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, big showcasing big dick energy is more of a vibe that's internal, which is to say you could see someone could be very experienced in martial arts, but you wouldn't necessarily know it by looking at them. But they carry themselves in a way where they kind of. You go.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

You get a vibe.

[Adam Carolla]

Guy looks like he could handle himself. He's a cockpit. Right, right. So it's there, but the dick isn't out.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Yeah, I mean, that's where.

[Joe]

That's where the energy comes in. It's big dick energy.

[Adam Carolla]

Right.

[Joe]

It's not big arm or big tit energy. It's just big tits.

[Adam Carolla]

It's big tits, big arms.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Asked me to wear gray sweatpants.

[Adam Carolla]

Who does?

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Just women in general.

[Joe]

Yeah, they love the gray sweatpants.

[Adam Carolla]

They want to see some big dick energy.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Just want to get that. The print. They would just want to get the mental image of. Ah, it's a strange thing. The women are turning it on us.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, really?

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

It's a thing, the TikTok trend, I.

[Adam Carolla]

Think the big arm energy, which is just big arm. And you're right. Big tit. It kicks in about the same point. About 15 guys like it. They use it, they accentuate it, and they do the same thing women do with their tits they do with their arms. And it just carries. It just carries on to a slightly more confident individual.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

We're all getting in the gym tomorrow.

[Adam Carolla]

I know why I got skinny. My arms are skinny. It just doesn't work.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Put some effort. Like, come on.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

We're getting jacked in January.

[Adam Carolla]

No, I can't. I got nothing to go off of now. I was always super strong, and I could punch hard and grapple and I could do everything. I just didn't have big. I remember I never thought about this. Oh, my God. I was sitting in a makeup chair. You want to talk about big arm energy? And by the way, the big tit finds the big arms. At some point, they come together. I want to get those big fucking guns on my titties. Squeeze my titties.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

The natural order.

[Adam Carolla]

I was sitting in and I have skinny arms, but I could hit a baseball 350ft. Like I could real hard.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Listen, I work with athletes all the time. Wiry guy, strong, sinewy dude.

[Adam Carolla]

That's who I was. You couldn't take me off my feet. I'd throw you around and I could hit hard and everything. I just was skinny. I was skinny arms. Actually, the reason I did that is when you have skinny arms, you get better technique and you stop relying on just sort of brute strength. And you really work on torque and technique and torsion. And then you become. Watch Daryl Strawberry hit A home run. That's who you become, you know, 6 4, 189 pounds. Just cranking the ball like. But you see every part. When you see. Perfect example, big arm energy. The guy who hit the most famous Dodger home run, Kirk Gibson. Kirk Gibson's got big arm energy. He's got those big fucking forearms, right? You watch him hit that home run against the A's. He's like. He barely moves his hips. He just like, sort of, you know, and it goes out of the fucking park. He's got like big forearm energy. You see Daryl Strawberry hit a home run. It's like somebody wound somebody up and uncorked them. It's just every part of his body is twisting torsion, full torsion. Thomas The Hitman Hearns. 6 foot 2, 147 pounds. Watch him throw that, right? Every fucking part of his body is churning on that because he's 6:2 and he's under 150 pounds. So it's all technique.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

Anyway, it's a big arm. Mel's got the big arm energy. Okay, what was I gonna say? Big tit energy. Big arm energy. So I'm sitting there, then Nate Margazzi sits down, and Nate's nice, good tune.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Got great special, like, kind of wholesome. In a weird way, I like this guy.

[Adam Carolla]

I'm like, I got Costner sitting next to me. I'm talking about Gazzi, like through the two males, you know, we're talking and I can tell Costner's like, who's that dude? You know? And I go, that dude made $82 million last year doing standup. That's the highest grossing Standup of 2024. That dude you do not recognize. Who you want to know, why is he in the celebrity zone with us? That guy's the highest grossing stand up comedo of 2024.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

He's oblivious.

[Adam Carolla]

So I talked to Nate, who's always nice, and then he goes, see, you gotta check now, Joe. I wanted to check. When's Bargazzi coming to town? So he goes, we're sitting in the Clippers arena. And he goes, hey, I saw you did something for dry bar. And I said, yeah. And he goes, oh, you did a. You're doing a clean set now. I go, yeah, well, not most of the time, but I could clean it up for. For dry bar. And he goes, oh, yeah? Yeah. Well, when I come back to town, you know, why don't you open up? Why don't you play? And I go, where are we at? It's like, probably some. Probably here, something like this. I'm like, there's 19,000 people here. Are you kidding me? It's like, I mean, I know you don't make $82 million by playing the Laugh Factory in Covina. You know, you got to play arenas, but he's playing arenas, but he's keeping it clean. It's gonna be Irvine Improv at the end of February.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Oh, yeah, there you go.

[Adam Carolla]

Shit, Wait a minute.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

That's a home match right there.

[Adam Carolla]

It's gotta be playing something, some other arena or something. I mean, he is traveling around playing arenas, right?

[Joe]

Encore, Las Vegas, all that. But Irvine, I mean, you know, he's.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Working stuff out also.

[Joe]

Yes, those. Those levity corporate overlords, you know, just. You never know when you're going to come back down. You want to stay in the good graces of the 600 seaters too.

[Adam Carolla]

Huh? Huh? What? Went in Feb. I should all reach out last few.

[Joe]

Days of February, first day of March.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, well, maybe I'll go down there and open over there, but kind of hoping for a dome or something.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

You want to do the walk?

[Joe]

You're gonna be in Europe after that if you want to hit, you know.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, I'll get a Strudeldorf. Is he playing like a soccer venue?

[Joe]

Oslo Norway arena in the Royal Theater in Amsterdam.

[Adam Carolla]

All right, I'll head out for that. That's a little disappointing for me. Fuck. I've sold out the Irvine Improv. I didn't need him for that shit. Oh, well. Well, I' go down there and hang out. So now it's getting crazy because I got so much to talk about. Okay, now it's crazy because Erica Rhodes. Lovely, fetching Erica Rhodes is here on NOW as the calendar goes. Because sometimes we tape the show a day before and sometimes a couple days before whatever it is, Erica Rhodes comes on this show and she starts talking about Pete Berg.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

I saw.

[Adam Carolla]

You saw? You saw? You saw. You were there. You came in late, but you saw. Okay, Pete Berg, as a director actor, was in a boxing movie.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

No.

[Adam Carolla]

Was he the Great White Hype?

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Oh, yeah. Okay, Totally remember? Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

You know what? The biggest tell for the guy doesn't really guys, not a real boxer tell. It's the actors playing the boxer.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Poor jab.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, it's good. What else? Like awkward footwork. They stand very stiff. It's all good.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

The right hand.

[Adam Carolla]

No, no, no. The boxing scenes are always just action scenes. You know, Bob throwing. How you know the guy's not a real boxer. Is the shadow box before the fight, they always are standing in the corner, they go, it's like do that. You go like, oh, that's not. That guy doesn't box. And also they try a little too hard during the shadow box warmup stuff. Real boxers are always kind of rolling their shoulders and flicking stuff out a little bit. Then he'll go, yeah, you know what I mean?

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Exactly.

[Adam Carolla]

And they never show him skipping rope because they can't fake the.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Yeah, you're right.

[Adam Carolla]

Can't do the fake rope skip.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Yeah, yeah, there's a lot. It breaks me out a little bit when I see a boxing scene in the movie. But Hegseth was at the fights though. That's what I was meant. I saw him.

[Adam Carolla]

Who?

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Yeah, they did the frickin cam, the celebrity camp. You're on there with Costner. And then they show up with the Hegset Tyron. That's his name, right?

[Adam Carolla]

Pete Berg.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Berg, that's it.

[Adam Carolla]

Well there's a couple of pieces.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

What the hell? Oh that's the guy in the news.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, that's the other guy. Berg was on there.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

My bad.

[Adam Carolla]

That's all right. Yeah, so Pete Berg. I've actually sparred with Pete Berg and he's a kind of combat guy and he likes all. He's a dude. He's like Hollywood dude. You know the dudes. Yeah, and he's a, you know, I would call him a friend but I hadn't talked to him in a long time and I was telling Erica Rhodes who watched Friday Night Lights with their Binge, watched it and he directed that he's done a bunch of movies. He's done a ton of movies. You gotta look him up. I don't know his IMDb. Anyway, he's a good dude. He's a dude dude, which sometimes a little much, but he's a good. He's a good dude. And he's an actor. He's a director. Writer.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Yeah. This guy knows the business inside and out. Look at that.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh my God.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Yeah, yeah, he's been in everything. Done.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh there's the great. There's a great white hype. Oh shocker.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Yeah, that was a great one. So ridiculous.

[Adam Carolla]

So anyway, he's done everything. So Erica Rhodes is going off for 20 minutes about wanting to slide into his DMs and whatever. Then I'm saying to Erica Rhodes, I know Pete Berg a bit, but I have not seen Pete berg in probably 10 to 15 years. And I don't know if I still have his number or anything, but I like Pete. I kind of think we're friends, but I just, I don't talk to. I haven't talked to Pete Berg in a million years, and I don't even know where Pete Berg is. And then that's Thursday afternoon with Erica Rhodes. Saturday night, sitting there with Costner. And here comes Pete Burke. And Pete Berg's like, hey, it's Costner. Then he's like, hey, it's Mel Gibson. And I'm like, hey, it's Adam. And he's like, huh? Like, Pete. He's like, yeah, okay. I'm like, no, no, listen to me, listen to me. And he's like, huh? And he knows me and everything. He knows it like, hey, Adam. I'm like, oh, no, listen, listen to me. There's this comedian girl, not off to a good start. I get it. She's blonde, she's good looking, she's funny. Funny, funny. Name's Erica Rhodes. You know Erica Rhodes? He goes, nope. I go, oh, man, she's into you, okay? I go, no, but she's good looking, she's nice, you know, she's funny, she's good looking. And he goes, yeah, okay, all right, let me talk to Mel over here. And I'm like, yeah, let me talk to Costner. I'm like, yeah, okay, but hold on, you gotta understand, she's cute. We just talk. I was just talking to her about you. She likes you. And she's like, oh, okay. And I go, yeah, you don't know who she is? He goes, nah, I don't know. So he said, then at some point I go, she's hot. And he goes, what's her name again? I go, erica Rhodes. And he goes, what? Erica Rhodes. He goes, oh, okay. And he walks away. Then five minutes later, he comes back, he goes, okay, I googled her. What's up? All right. Found some good pictures of Erica Rhodes. Exactly. I said, all right, well, I'll tell you what's up. She wants a date, man. So I said, I don't know if I have your new phone number, your old phone. Just make sure I got your phone number and I'll figure it out. And then I called Erica the next day.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Matchmaker, matchmaker, make me a match.

[Adam Carolla]

Find me a fine catch. Me a catch. I don't know anymore.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Me neither.

[Adam Carolla]

So that was that kismety, right? Like a lot of talk about random Pete Berg talk with Erica Rhodes. And then I, 48 hours later, I'm just standing there with Pete Berg. I told him I haven't seen the guy in a long time. All Right. We got news. I got a permit jag to go on. And we'll do all that right after this. All right. New Year's resolution. Vow to eat healthier.

Here's a memorable moment from the Adam Carolla Show's ACE Awards archives. Matthew. Omaha. What, seven?

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Why does Buzz Lightyear say to infinity and beyond when it's not even possible?

[Adam Carolla]

Well, speaking as Captain Nebula, I was his captain. I was his CO, his commanding officer. Matthew, for 100 episodes of some thing on Disney. A million years ago, he just found that scribbled on the inside of a stall in the bathroom that we use at headquarters and took off with it. His origin story. Yeah. Mm. Did you see the latest movie, Matthew? No. All right, Matthew. Move out to LA in 11 years. No, wait. Move out to either Florida or Texas in 11 years. I'll give you a job. I'm not sure if LA will be here in 11 years. The 2025 ACE Awards coming this December. Now back to the Adam Carolla Show. It's weird. I had a dream about Patrick Warburton last night. Big arm energy. That's why the guy's confident. Had a dream about Patrick Warburton and Commander Nebula was his commander, and he was Buzz Lightyear in the Disney TV version of.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

So that's canon. That's canon.

[Adam Carolla]

Canon, yeah.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Like the original. That's where it really got it from the bathroom stroll.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, what's canon mean?

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Canon means, like, that's like official history in the fiction of Buzz Lightyear.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, and the canon of it. Oh, no, I made that up. I don't know where that came from. No, I know you know. All right, there's a. We got news, but there's also. I got a jag to go on. All right, all right.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

We're here for that.

[Adam Carolla]

Somebody tweeted me a couple days ago, permit. Because I been saying that you're not just going to rebuild your home in Malibu of all places on the planet and. Or the west side, of all places on the planet to build that at one place. You ain't just building that shit. There's permits, there's rules, there's regulations. And I don't think that you see people that are against these over sort of invasive regulations are not against regulations. They're against over regulation. Meaning if somebody said, and this is kind of where we're at, someone go, look, I wanna sell weight benches, bench press, bench setup. I wanna sell it. In California, they would go, the bar that goes up, that holds the barbell, what's the maximum capacity? That thing will hold and I'd go £600. And then they'd go okay, well we need it for £6,000. And then I'd go why? And they'd go safety. And I'd go yeah, but nobody's ever benched more than £600. So this is it. Most people are gonna be throwing around 140 pounds here. Why over? And they go, why not? And I go, well, it's going to cost a lot more to build the bench. And it's going to cost a lot more to ship the bench because it's going to weigh a lot more. And I'm trying to compete with other guys who make benches. So they're paying 200 bucks. I'm going to charge 700 bucks for mine because I have to engineer it to hold £6,000. But no one's ever bench pressed over £700. I don't know. What's the bench press?

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

I don't know. Yeah, I don't know.

[Adam Carolla]

Six.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Gotta be 690. Maybe six. I don't know. Six guys are becoming freaks. The powerlifting is like to a whole nother science these days. So maybe 600 and 700. I don't know.

[Adam Carolla]

I have way too.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

I know. 35 for a squat was a good one. 1400 there.

[Adam Carolla]

What?

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

No.

[Joe]

The current world record is held by American Jimmy Kolb. Established July 29, 2023. Locked out. 635 kilograms or 1401 pounds.

[Adam Carolla]

Wow.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

We gotta see this, man.

[Adam Carolla]

This guy's got big arm energy.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

I told you powerlifting is on some other. Look at this guy, he's one muscle.

[Adam Carolla]

These guys are built like bottle jacks.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Exactly. Yeah. No way.

[Adam Carolla]

By the way, I like that. They're spotters. Like, like I would do anything but run. God, he brings it down so nuts.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

That's a Volkswagen and he got it.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. I mean the bar traveled a whole seven inches. You know, these guys have fucking arms as short as my dick. And I'm not insulting my dick, it's just, you know, they're built like bottle jacks. That, that's the hell.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

That's a bottle jack.

[Adam Carolla]

It's just a fucking butt plug of a bottle jack.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Yeah, yeah. Where you lift the car. Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

Lift a car, you can lift houses.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Yeah, yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

You see, bottle Jacks are like £30,000. Things as big as a fucking 16 ounce coke. Can of coke.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Really?

[Adam Carolla]

It'll say lifts 12 tons. I've lifted houses like, you know, an old house is like sagging the floor. Sagging, Shit like that. You get under there With a bottle jack. Get under the crawl and fucking house. It starts creaking. I've lifted whole outdoor balconies and stuff that were like, fucking bottle jack. It'll live. Seven tons and your hand just feels like it's not even attached to anything. It's like a bottle jack's a modern marvel. Wow.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

He would fucking throw 1400 pounds like nothing in a nine year old kid could just go, not a scissor jack, not a floor jack. Yeah, bottle chip. All right, so my point is, is all right, the world's record is 1400 pounds.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Yep, yep.

[Adam Carolla]

But I don't need to build my bench at £6,000 capacity cuz it's overkill. And then Jane Fonda would go, what's wrong with building? Making it safe? And like what's wrong with it, bitch, is it takes longer, it weighs more, it costs more, it's unnecessary, it more materials. And I have to pass that along to whoever's buying this thing. And that's sort of what they do here with building. And anyway, guy was on the Internet, basically said, here's the permits you need.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

So experts say It'll take between 20 and 40 years to rebuild Los Angeles. Why is that? Well, it's because of their regulation. So in la you need not only a building permit, but a grading permit, a foundation permit, an electrical permit, a plumbing permit, a mechanical permit, a demolition permit, an encroachment permit, the fire department.

[Adam Carolla]

Needs to give you a permit.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

If you have a septic tank, you need a permit for that, you need a water and sewer connection permit permit. You have to have an energy compliance permit, an environmental permit, zoning permits. Of course, if you remove any trees, you're going to need a tree removal permit. If you put solar panels, you need a solar panel permit, you need any kind of specialty permits for swimming pools or retaining walls. And of course you're going to need your certificate of occupancy.

[Adam Carolla]

All right? It's not doable, it's not practical, it's impossible.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

It looks like.

[Adam Carolla]

Can I tell you fuckers, I had land in la, Canada, California and I was going to build on it. I ended up selling the land and there's another house on it. Just take my word for it that it was a steep lot. The steep back hill that went all the way up the hill and at the bottom it sort of flattened out and that's where the house would be built. And so one would have to build a retaining wall behind the house to retain the earth. And then it kept going up the hill to the next property that was above it. Steep grade on the property. My property that I purchased, that I paid taxes on. It was littered with oak trees. La Canada has oak trees everywhere. And they're nice, but they're everywhere. And they said before you begin building, you must put a chain link fence around all the oak trees because they're endangered and you cannot tear down or cut down your own oak trees. Now imagine telling a founding father your fucking land that you bought, that you own, that you pay taxes on. There's a tree on your property, you're not allowed to cut it out. You can't cut it down. Which by the way, can't exist almost anywhere. I mean, it'll exist in, you know, probably, or parts of Oregon, Seattle, Washington, Stuff like, you know, progressive places, stupid regulations. But no, but not only can you not cut down your oak tree, you must put a chain link fence around it with a circumference of like 6 foot.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Yeah. To defend it from falling into the pool.

[Adam Carolla]

I don't know even what the regulation is. So what I would say to these people is, is those oak trees are up the top of my property. I can't even get to them. It's too hard to climb. It's too steep. They're on a hill.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

I'm not building.

[Adam Carolla]

You need a Sherpa and a chainsaw. A Sherpa with a chainsaw?

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Yeah, yeah. It's my punk band.

[Adam Carolla]

That is. That's a good punk band. First off, I have no intention of cutting those trees down at the top of the hill. I like them there. Number two, it has nothing to do with the construction of this house. I'm at the bottom of the hill. And thirdly, I don't think I could get up there wearing, wearing cleats.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

But you have to go put a tree, put a fence. They're like 45°.

[Adam Carolla]

If you, if there is an oak tree on your property and you're doing construction, you have to put a chain link fence around it. I'm like, well, it's going to be really expensive to send, by the way. This is times 11 trees. It's gonna be really expensive to go up there and hire a company to rent chain link fence. So, okay, I am not going to touch those trees. They're at the top of the property. I'm building at the bottom of the property. I don't know what we need to defend them from. There's nobody up there and there's no building up there. And I don't know how you would build up there, it's the side of a hill. So they go, you gotta get the chain link fence. This is my property, I'm paying you for a permit. So I start walking around the properties of the neighborhood and at some point I see some oak trees with the weird yellow or orange plastic, ribbony stuff around it, like a roll of plastic with some wooden spikes put into. And then whatever, okay, that's gonna be a fuck of a lot easier, cheaper, lighter, whatever than a chain link fence around everything. I could go up there, I'll just have my guys whack in like four foot spikes and just pull the stupid thing around it, zip tie it and like anyone's going up there. How about the fact that's my fucking property? How about that? How about that?

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

California.

[Adam Carolla]

And by the way, this place is lousy with oak trees. It's really weird. It's like they go, you can't fuck around with crows because crows are an endangered species. And I'm like, how endangered are they? There's 15 of them on my car right now. Like, they're all. The only thing La Canada has more of than oak trees is crows. Why are they both? Why are they endangered? They're everywhere. Like, I get, you know, sperm whales. It's not like I walk down the street, hey, it's another sperm. Hey, another whale. Not like every time I go to the ocean, I see a sperm whale. There's nothing but oak trees, nothing but crows, but you can't fuck with either one of them.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Well, let me get the street. They try and protect the oak tree, but what is this fence gonna do? It's gonna stop a guy who's working on your house from walking over there with a chainsaw and going it down.

[Adam Carolla]

I don't know what it's gonna do, but it's gonna prevent somebody from maybe mistakenly cutting it down. So anyway, I see some houses with some of this yellow plastic cut out, four foot long ribbon thing and I'm like, okay, that's gonna be a lot cheaper, a lot easier. So then I go to the city and I go like, hey, man, how about in Louvre? The chain link up at the top of the hill that no one can get to. I drag this plastic mesh stuff up there and we just put that. They're like, yeah, not gonna happen. I'm like, all right, this is what people are talking about. I never ended up building a fucking house there. But the point is, they fuck with you bad early and often. And it did remind me, the great Joel McHale came into my Studio, my radio studio. Many many years ago. I mean, we're coming up on 20 years ago. He lived at a house up in the hills. He wanted to build a swimming pool. They would not let him. They made it so difficult. What it is is they never go, you can't do this. They go, we're going to make it so difficult for you to do what you want to do on your own property. By the way, paying us, you're going to pay that. You're going to go down and cut a check. So they let you do what you want to do on your own property. And it's not like it's a city funded pool gunite rig. It's your guy, you pay that guy, they won't let you do it.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

They want it built to like nuclear cooling rod status.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, my two celebrity friends, Joel McHale and Carson Daley Carson built his pool in the Palisades of Santa Monica and it needed to be double hulled. So that was a Coastal Commission thing. Like an oil tank.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

In case some of that salt water probably did a saltwater pool case that dripped through and got into the groundwater. I do. But in case it got ground. In front of Carson's double hold pool is a never ending chain of Winnebagos where homeless junkies shit into the commode and then just do the raw footage straight into the fucking ocean. You have any thoughts about that Santa Monica, or is it just all the guys with the checkbook? You have a checkbook, you play by the rules, you get punished. But this is an old Just in case any of you thought I'm some Johnny come lately with topics, you know. Oh, now everyone's talking about permits. Carolla was talking about permits 30 years ago. The first time I got in front of a microphone, I was fucking screaming about this shit because I used to do it for a living in la and then I bought a house. I tried to do it for myself. And every night after arguing with the planning and zoning and plan check and the permit unit in Van Nuys, I would then show up on Loveline that night and scream about it.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Yeah. Yeah. Well, let's talk solutions.

[Adam Carolla]

No, I don't care. I'm playing this riff and then we'll talk solutions. This retaining wall, I feel like we're building a dam. Oh, a hydro. It's like the Hoover Dam. They'll actually be day laborers in tune. Yeah, it will be like the Great Wall of China. I've said it once, I'll say it again and I'll be Very quick about it. All of you who claim to be simpatico with the government and who are cool with the administration and cool with the man, come out to Southern California, buy yourself a house in the hills and try to build something. Yeah. And then you will quickly go from Jeanine Garofalo to Ruby Rich. It translates into hundreds of thousands of dollars that you throw literally into a hole in a ground. Because some a hole engineer wanted to satisfy the city. How is anything still standing according to their standards? Please. All right, now, Joel McHale. I must stand up and yell at every goddamn engineer, every goddamn city bureaucratic in this city. Yes. If you want to do any building in this goddamn city, especially if it's up in the hills, you must either build the Hoover Dam or Hitler's bunker. Right. Why? Because we're an earthquake country. Because it's dangerous and we hide behind safety. We hide behind the veil of safety. Hey, just playing it safe. Hey, better safe than sorry. Hey, we're an earthquake country. My house was built in 1929. It has no reinforced concrete, no plywood because plywood wasn't invented. No simpson straps, no HDs, no hold downs, no all thread, no J bolts, no nothing. Nothing, nothing. They had some poor Irish guy, poor foundation and they set a house on it. That was it. There was no straps and no tea code clips and no 835s and no continuous shear wall and no moments and no nothing. No nailing schedule, no inspector, no nothing. Now, that house was built in nineteen goddamn twenty nine. And you know where it is today, right? The F. Where it was put by all the dead people with no hold downs and no rebar and no bunkers and no straps and no nothing. Why? It's in earthquake country. It's an earthquake. Right? Now, what do you think the house did, you retards? Did it sprout legs and run to Montana every time there was an earthquake and then and then hustle back and land on its foundation? No. It sat there with no straps, no plywood, no nailing schedule, no hold downs, no all thread, no piers, no pylons, no grade beams, no retaining walls, nothing. I don't know what we're yelling about. 80 God damn years through every goddamn earthquake this city could put up and it is moved not an inch. Yeah. So how do you explain all the. There's craftsman houses from 1914 in Pasadena. They're fine. So what is this danger that the earthquake poses to the house that's been through every earthquake?

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

The danger's not going to get paid off that. Looking at all those, couldn't that be consolidated?

[Adam Carolla]

Some of it, if they wanted to speed it up, but.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

What?

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. Okay. Why? Well, each permit costs money. So the more permits, the more money. But it's bigger than that. It's control.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

And everybody.

[Adam Carolla]

You have to come ask them. Yes. It creates a lot of bureaucracy in jobs and you have to come ask them for permission. And that's called control. And they fucking like it. Yeah. You don't believe me? What did LA do during COVID They fucking snapped into action. Like, hey, off the beach, bro. Hey, outdoor dining gone. Hey, school shut down. Those are people who like control. They're control junkies. But it's all under the veil of safety. Remember Covid? Covid's. We're gonna fucking jack everyone's shit up and rule everything and fuck everyone up. But for safety, for safety, there's a.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Culture of middle managers that everybody wants to be able to boss somebody around.

[Adam Carolla]

And when they hide under the veil of safety, then you can do whatever the fuck you want. And so I built a garage, a super garage in the back of my house from 1929. And again, I'll give you the reason I say plywood wasn't invented. The reason that's a big deal is because the biggest thing they do with earthquake is called shear wall. Shear wall is you frame a house. Picture a framed wall.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Yep.

[Adam Carolla]

Two by four framed wall. Yeah, Picture it. I'm picturing, okay, now picture that thing just alone, just a naked framed wall. It would have a lot of downward strength. Like if you just tried to get on top of it and push it down, would have good strength. But if you racked it sideways, it would rack. Yeah, yeah. You could pull it. Yeah, exactly. Side to side. Right. So what they do is you take half inch plywood, struck one good one size, and you put it on it and you nail the shit out of it.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Okay.

[Adam Carolla]

And by the way, you don't just choose your own nails. It's ten penny ring shank nails. Non, non sinker, non vinyl coated sinkers. You couldn't use eight penny sinkers. You knew that. You knew that. And you not only have the plywood on the outside with the stamp facing outside so they can see it's the right plywood struck one, they would call it. There's a schedule for nailing. The schedule for nailing used to be every foot in the field, as they say, but on the seams, six inches, Pop, pop, pop, pop, pop.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

All right.

[Adam Carolla]

And you gotta use it right now. Okay? So now you Nail the shit out of it with this plywood on the outside. Now picture racking that thing. Right? So that's what they're worried about. Now, that whole problem. Before plywood, they just took a piece of one by three and they just put it laterally on it. And it was called a lead in. Anyone who's been in an old garage. I don't know, Dawson, your garage may be old enough. You stand in that old garage and you see that weird lateral piece going from the top left down to the bottom, and it's in the stud. They let it in, does the same thing, stops it from racking. But anyway, these houses there were also earthquake big into straps and clips. Straps and clips. Clips, hangers, joist hangers, Simpson straps, Teco clips. What are these?

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

You keep saying that it's.

[Adam Carolla]

What is it?

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

It's made.

[Adam Carolla]

These are like. Imagine you took. Imagine you took a two by six, right? You just butted it against another two by six and you just, what they call, toenailed it in, like sideways. Nailed it in, or even nailed it through.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Okay.

[Adam Carolla]

That it would stay. But imagine if I took a hangar like a saddle, like a metal saddle, and put it there and nailed the shit out of it into the thing and into the two. It's like you couldn't tear that thing apart.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Oh, okay. Okay.

[Adam Carolla]

Hurricane clips where you're from.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Okay.

[Adam Carolla]

See, where you're from, Florida, they would just take the ceiling, roof rafter, go right over the top of the frame wall and they just toenail it in. And then the earth. And then the tornado shows up or the weather shows up and the who roof just lifts off.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

Now they have hurricane straps where they strap it. Everything's strapped. Now I see 1929, they didn't have anything, by the way, they didn't bolt the house to the foundation. What?

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Oh, I thought that was a thing too.

[Adam Carolla]

No, didn't exist.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Didn't need.

[Adam Carolla]

Didn't do it. I don't think they had rebar in the foundation.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

No.

[Adam Carolla]

So now when you pour the foundation every two feet or whatever, you put in a J bolt. It's a big thick bolt that goes down, makes a J shape. You sink it into the wet concrete. And then when you strip all the forms, you start framing your house. You bolt it. Yeah, but there's nothing there. But the point is, is I'm building a super garage behind the house from 1929 that has nothing.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Yes.

[Adam Carolla]

Okay, so what do I got to do? Well, I got to drill 15 caissons. 15 deep caissons. Into the ground. Yeah. And you got to go, you know, four feet into bedrock, wherever it is. Those things are, like, 28ft deep, right? Then you got to build cages, rebar cages, and drop the cage into the casino. Into the hole. Into the hole. Then the cage comes up and ties into what is a grade beam, which is another cage and another form, and it becomes this pattern of these long caissons going into the ground, tied in the top. And point is, you have to build the fuck out of it. And when I had steel, I was doing a steel superstructure. So this is the city. You do steel, they'll sign off on steel. But when you do steel, they bolt it and they weld it. They bolt it and they weld it. The city requires that you hire, at your own expense, a deputy inspector. This deputy inspector thing is not anyone from their office. It's just another guy you got to pay because they're not coming out and watching this guy weld. You hire a deputy inspector. The deputy inspector is supposed to visually sit there for eight hours and watch the guy weld to make sure he's doing a good job welding. All right? Now, what happens after the guy's done welding and the deputy inspector signs off on the welds and gives you a certificate of completion that you can take to the city. By the way, you got to pay that guy 500 bucks for the certificate. Then they require a sonogram, which is, a guy's got to come by with the same shit they used to look at the babies, strap it on, and inspect every weld electronically to make sure that it's all a good weld. So here's the question. What the fuck do I need the deputy inspector for if the sonogram guy is coming? And by the way, everyone is on the grift and figured out the move? The deputy inspector guy, he doesn't give two shits. He's not gonna stay there for eight hours and watch some Mexican weld. He comes up in his truck, he eats a breakfast burrito. He watches it for a minute. I come out to his truck, he hands me a certificate, and he fucking leaves. Wow. But I gotta pay for it. And then I also have to pay for the sonogram. Now, why would you need both? And city, if you require this, then you fucking pay for the sonogram. I'm already paying you for all the permits, and you pay for the deputy inspector. Send one of your deputy inspectors out to inspect it.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Looks like, to me, that it's so entrenched in the entire culture of the building industry here in California.

[Adam Carolla]

Yes, that.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

It's inextricable.

[Adam Carolla]

It's a bureaucracy that just keeps growing. It grows, it grows. And it's made by bitches like Jane Fonda who fucking sit there and go, what's wrong with the rules? I think we have more rules. I just hate. She reminds me of my mom. I mean, not in the looks department, but every other aspect. Imagine if you go, who's your mom? Picture an unattractive Jane Fonda. I'd be like, oh, God, that is fucking. That is what you call Lose, lose, brother. Yeah, Like a husky Jane Fonda. Oh, well, now you just. Now it's all bad, right? Yeah. So that's their plan. More, more. And now people are saying, well, you're gonna have to reel it in.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Well, you know, I reported and I.

[Adam Carolla]

Don'T know if they're gonna.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

I reported the other day that Newsom signed executive orders saying that he would streamline the process.

[Adam Carolla]

I believe the word. Yeah, but wait till the Coastal Commission gets involved and the LA City Council, and then there's gonna be a legal proceeding and it's gonna be tied up because someone's gonna. They're gonna object. They're all gonna object because they fucking hate their dads. And you are their dad. Back to the ringer, back to the ringer. Also, what I was trying to explain, metaphors I haven't used in a long time, but in terms of regulations. The beach. The beach equals freedom. That's where we landed with the. With the Pinto and the Santa Maria and the Mayflower and it all landed. Plymouth Rock, we land. It's freedom. The beach is freedom. That's why, like every commercial, remember, like 70s car commercials, always be people running along the beach and the car would be going through the surf and zigzagging. They'd be fucking playing with the dog. And at night, be a bonfire and all that kind of shit. Beach fun. Free, Free. The United States is beach free. California is supposed to be the beach. You fucking do what you want to do. Not Gavin Newsom arresting a guy on a paddleboard during COVID That's not freedom. That's the opposite of freedom. Beach is freedom. Here's my challenge. In the mid-60s, Venice Beach, Carroll Shelby. Shelby Mustang, Shelby Cobra.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

His headquarters was in Venice BEACH in the 60s, the early 60s, you went there for freedom, man. Venice BEACH in the 60s, the sign on the beach that said, what you can't do on the beach, I don't know. I don't think there Was a sign. You went to the beach to drink a beer, to smoke a cigarette, have sex, to start a fire. Every 70s, movies, kids, fire on the beach, passing around a bottle, sucking off at the dogs barking over there.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

No.

[Adam Carolla]

What's going on on the beach today? Well, at some point they put a sign up, and it just had one thing. It said, no bonfires. And that was it. And then the politicians did what the politicians do. They went, what else can we put on that sign? And someone should have fucking stopped them and said, bitch, it's not your sign. You're not here to fucking keep adding shit. No, no, but what about dogs? I don't think dogs should be on the beach. And so when? I don't know. Okay, add it to the sign. No bonfires, no dogs. How about alcohol? We don't want drunk people going in the ocean, do we? Okay, all right, put alcohol on there. How about cigarettes? You know what if someone lit a cigarette and the wind just blew the secondhand smoke over to your towel? You wouldn't want people. Okay, put it on the sign. The fucking beach sign is 26 items long now. Yeah, right?

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Yes.

[Adam Carolla]

There was no beach sign. And then there was one sign that said no bonfires or, like, no dune buggies or something, Right? And now it's a cavalcade of what you can't do on the beach. Why? I thought we were about freedom. Well, we were until you bitches got involved and you made it about rules, and that's where we're at. And every year they add another list of something you can't do on the beach onto the beach sign.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

You're breaking open my brain right now, Carol.

[Adam Carolla]

Good. And my thing is, is we need to start pulling shit off the sign. Their thing is like. No, we add stuff to the sign, roll it back. And what Trump is saying is everything you add to the sign, you gotta pull two off if you wanna add one. And they're like, oh, we're not gonna do that. Cause all we do is signs. Because all we do is make rules. Because we want power over you, ma'am. And that's why we're in this business now. The fact that California, the let your freak flag fly place, is the. Has the most rules for the beach. The beach is just a metaphor for your society and your freedom. The more fucking signs, the more. The bigger the sign is at the beach, the less freedom you have living in that state or that city. And California has the most. That's all I'm saying.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Yeah. Don't you think that because it is the affluent who have lost their houses recently, that more regulations will change and shift because there's enough money to move the needle.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, yeah. No, when shit starts happening to white people, that's when they're like, oh, all right. These are my constituency, and I'm not getting fucking reelected if I piss off all these people in Malibu. Yeah.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

These are the people with the lobby money and. And the things that get things done in Sacramento.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. That's when they care. Yeah. That's when I.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

So maybe you're gonna get your wish then. Regulations will be rolled back. There won't be so much permits.

[Adam Carolla]

But Gavin Newsom's like, look, we're gonna. We're not gonna do. Bill Maher sounds more and more like me every week.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

But it's, like, similar on his.

[Adam Carolla]

No, he sounds like me. It's what it is. Yeah. Oh, yes. This is all shit I talk about, then he talks about it, then people go, oh, you hear what Bill Maher's talking about?

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

I know. I swear he watches the show because his writers.

[Adam Carolla]

He does. His writers.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

His writers do.

[Adam Carolla]

It's all shit that I say or have been saying for a million years. And it's also like, we gotta get. We're gonna get rid of all this red tape. We gotta get as I'm like, who put the red tape there? Who made all the red tape? Why is there so much red tape? Why? All right, forget there was a fire. Let's just say John Q. Public wanted to rebuild his place in Malibu. Yeah, you would fuck him 10 ways to Sunday. But now that there's been a fire, okay, we can relax. Some of these regulations. Fuck you. All right. I got so much on this that's happened to me that I don't even. I don't wanna bore everyone. It's a pain. All right, you got news?

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

I got some news.

[Adam Carolla]

All right, well, hold on.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

We can jump right into it.

[Adam Carolla]

No, we're gonna take a quick break, then we're going to do some news. Homes.com knows that when it comes to home shopping, it's never just about the house or condo. It's about the home.

It's time to check Adam's voicemail. All right. Well, no, I just heard your podcast thingy for the first time. Calling from the Netherlands. Name is Renko Van Hooched. Yeah, try to pronounce that. But great show, Mr. Corolla. I saw less equity, more water fixing LA's fire response, and yeah, right up Miami. The. The humor that you use to address. Yeah, political issues. But yeah, keep on rocking and I'll keep them checking in. You can leave us a message at 888-634-1744. Thanks, bro.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Yeah, yeah, appreciate that. Donkeys. Shane, or whatever they say out there in the Netherlands.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, Something else, but.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Right.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. What do you got? In the news?

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

In the news. Let's just jump right into it. Elon Musk rips those who accused him of giving the Nazi salute and says they need better dirty tricks. I don't know. The whole room is split. I think that was a. It was a wild My heart goes on Celine Dion gesture or he's trolling the shit out of us.

[Adam Carolla]

And I just want to say thank you for making it happen. Thank you. I hate to analyze. We'll hit Larry. Listen, I. I think he's trolling. Yes, I do. He's having fun fucking with people. These fucking guys are so funny. It's kind of like when you get stoned and you try to put a hat on your dog or something. The dog starts moving his head weird and you just start laughing. I think that's kind of what it's come to now. I think he's now trolling.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

He went full tism. Yeah, I don't Know, I think more. It's like, what do you. What do you get for the guy who's got everything? Attention.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, attention. Trolling.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

He's getting off on it.

[Adam Carolla]

I don't know what anyone. I was telling Joe earlier today about. There's a crazy story that I remember from four and a half years ago where a guy worked for, like, San Diego power company, and he was hanging his hand out of the side of his utility truck, and he was. He had it in an okay sign, and somebody took a picture of it like this. A white supremacy thing. First off, when did everything become a sign for white supremacy? Like, okay, when I was a kid, just meant okay. And people are like, yeah, well. But if you put your hand down, it's like. Then that means you're jacking them off. When did everything. And also this connection thing where they go. Trump's doing his address on July. That's 7 19th. 7, 19, 20, 25. Now, if you take 7 and you go to the seventh page of Mein Kampf, Hitler's book, you'll see some writings there about a demon who's coming. And then you take the 19 and you add it to the 25, right? But you back out 45. Because he was the first president. He was 45. Now he's 47. So you back out 40, and then you go to page 114 of Mein Kampf, and you go down in the middle. And I'm like, okay, I think you're making shit up. I don't know what this is. Everyone waves or everyone does something. The okay sign. This guy got fired from his job at the power company for hanging his fucking hand out the window. There's a picture of it. And this guy, first off, he's Mexican, which I always love. I love it when it doesn't slow the roll. When you go, well, this guy's Mexican. You think he's in the Klan? It's like, I don't care. We're moving ahead. And us as dumbos just went through some bizarre era in time where, like, someone would call the power company go, yeah, I got one of your employees there. He may be smoking a cigarette, and he may be flicking a booger, but he also may be part of the Hitler scene. And then you just call the supervisor and they go, what's his name? I don't know, but we got his truck.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Ramirez.

[Adam Carolla]

Ramirez. All right, we'll fire him. What's next? There's another guy over here, doesn't want to take an experimental vaccine for something that's not dangerous to him. All right, well, let's fire them, too. Now what? Well, now you're all getting sued, you fucking retards. But we just went through this now. That's all they do. But I hope Elon is trolling them now.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

I think so. I mean, there's no way that this spastic guy. But you saw him on snl. He can act like a normal dude when he wants to.

[Adam Carolla]

I did see him tweet a bunch of pictures of all the. All the Hillary Clintons and the Elizabeth Warrens and stuff, all holding the hand out.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Yeah. But if you watch back the tape as that clear, like, right hand, like, he's throwing it out there, you know?

[Adam Carolla]

No, this is part of the troll. You do that, you get the reaction, then you find a bunch of pictures of Hillary Clinton doing the salute, and you make a montage of that and you put it up, and now it's part of the troll. But it's weird. It's like kind of like, again, it's sort of like fucking with your cat with the hat or your dog with the hat. They don't know what's going on.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

And when I see, like, the hard left, people, like, worrying about having to move out because Trump and Hitler and stuff like that, I think they buy. They buy into it, I guess. I don't know what they think. I don't know. I find it amusing just because they're such fucking blowhards that I love just seeing them. I love seeing them wring their hands together. But it's a weird posture to have, I guess. Or maybe it's just their job. I don't know how much of it is. I mean, Trump was called Hitlerian and a dictator for four months, and then he won. And everyone's like, hey, all right. Hey. Here you go. Here's the keys to the White House. Thank you. Let's see. I left you a note. Forget me now. Little love note. Well, Hitler, Dear Hitler, hope you enjoy the Oval Office. Okay, so I don't know what they mean. Do they think this. I don't. I mean, Joe Biden said that Trump was a threat to democracy. Right. Over and over and over again. So Joe Biden shouldn't have left behind a note to Adolf Hitler 2.0. He should have left behind a bomb. Right. To protect democracy. Like, everyone gets checked and screened. But I don't. I don't think Joe Biden gets patted down before he walks into the White House. Joe Biden need to go full Valkyrie.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

He needed to Take like George Washington's head and fill it with C4 and put it on a fucking timer.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Yeah. The Lincoln Bedroom All.

[Adam Carolla]

He could have got that in there. And the note would have just said, oh, God, let's see. I'm trying to. It would have said Psych Anara or something. No, wait, that was Con Air. Whatever. Would have been a Schwarzenegian.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Yeah, yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

Boom, boom, out go the lights. And Trump would have looked at it. And then fire. You know what I mean?

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Anti personnel mine.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Underneath the Oval Office desk. Like that kind of strategy, home alone type paint cans falling down on him.

[Adam Carolla]

If, in fact he is a threat to our civilization, our way of life, and to democracy, then you don't leave him a thoughtful note that you give a little spritz of cologne on before you put it into the desk. You leave him a bomb.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

You make them hang out with Morning Joe.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, then he kills himself. Yeah, okay. All right. What else you got?

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Well, there's Trump Teachers Union webinar encourages teachers to oppose Trump and make students in the US Illegally feel less afraid. I guess it was like a zoom meeting sort of deal where they, I don't know, just talked bad. And how to prohibit immigration agents from venturing onto school grounds.

[Adam Carolla]

That's the beauty of California, because.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

We'Re.

[Adam Carolla]

Going to put 10 minutes into rebuilding this place, and the rest of the time we're going to be putting into trying to Trump proof it. Like, we're going to Trump proof California. It's like, yeah, I don't know. Take a little Trump in here.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Now you gotta hire your Trump inspector.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. Deputy Trump inspector. Yeah, yeah. They don't want people deported. I always like to go, tom Holman's the greatest. You know that guy? He's the new border czar. And he's the greatest because he gets all these fucking yentas in. In the Senate and in Congress. And they're always, like, they're always doing these weird Gotcha things. And he doesn't give a fuck. He's a pit bull. And they're like. And you're gonna take these parents and you're gonna deport these parents and you're gonna separate them from their children. And he goes, they don't have to be separated. Well, how are you gonna. How are they gonna. You're taking the parents away. How are they not separating? He goes, they can go with them. And then the fucking women go, whoa. What? It's. You know. You know, Dawson, you know, we're gonna have. We're gonna have 10,000 China moments like where the chick's in there, she's in the fucking room and she's going, you keep calling it the China virus. And you say, do you realize what that does? It's saying it comes from China. And the discrimination. Why do you keep saying China? Why do you call it the China virus? And he goes, because it's from China. Fuck off, bitch. We're gonna have thousands of those now. Tom Homan's gonna be. That's gonna be a highlight reel of him telling. There's a. There's a Tom Homan. Is it Holman or Homan? Holman, I believe Homan. There's an aoc. There's AOC questioning Homan somewhere in a like tweet or something. It's great. He's fucking. It's gonna be so fucking fun trolling all these fucking.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

That's what we're in for.

[Adam Carolla]

That's what we're in for. And I'm all in cuz I'm fucking tired of these idiots running this country. So yeah, they're gonna take the illegals, they're gonna throw em out.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Yes.

[Adam Carolla]

But they always go, they'll go to him. They'll go, you want them to throw out people even if they didn't commit a crime? And he goes, they committed a crime. They came to this country illegally. And they go, oh, they don't know what to fucking do with themselves. It's gonna be funny.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Yeah, he Trump actually issued.

[Adam Carolla]

We're gonna Trump proof California.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Yeah. Immigration related executive orders. On the first day of his new term, it looked like his orders seek to do the following. End birthright citizenship for future children born to mothers who are in the United States unlawfully or temporarily remain in Mexico.

[Adam Carolla]

Is the one that would have. Biden undid it immediately and that's what caused it all. The thing is, you want to come here, good. Stay in Mexico. We'll vet you that. Stop it. But he undid that.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Yeah. He's directing federal agencies to identify countries that do not provide sufficient information on their nationals to bar those nationals from entry to the U.S. yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

It's just we're going to bring back rules and that'll be nice for those.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Yeah, he's going to bring that military to the border.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, he's going to designate the cartels as terrorist groups.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

That is the most interesting thing thing to be.

[Adam Carolla]

They've been talked about.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Yeah. That opens up a lot of options militarily to fight the cartels. It's going to be interesting time on the border there, Dawson.

[Adam Carolla]

Set AOC homing thing exist? Oh, you have it? Put it on. Tell Byron. Byron, can you hear me? Put on the screen when you got it. That's all I'm saying. I was downloading it first.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

All right. He's restricting funds from sanctuary cities and will take legal action against them, designating the cartels as migrant gangs, Ms. 13 and Trende Aruga as foreign terrorist organizations.

[Adam Carolla]

All right, so we just got rid of a fucking weak, willowy, bald headed pussy in mayorkas who would do nothing about what's going on at the fucking border. As a matter of fact, if you think they didn't give a fuck about the border, why during that whole fake Haitian horse whipping thing, why did they all rush to a microphone and attack the Border Patrol and say shades of Jim Crow and shades of slavery. If they didn't hate the Border Patrol, why didn't they go? We looked at it closely, we spoke to the photographer. It isn't that. Why did they all jump on it? As an act of racism.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

On what part? I don't know.

[Adam Carolla]

There were Haitian guys trying to swim the Rio Grande or whatever it is. Border patrol was on horseback and they had the reins and Biden knew they didn't have a whip. And this wasn't shades of slavery or Jim Crow, but. And so did Kamala Harris and so did every official. But it was a interesting tableau. Was a white guy on a horse with reins and a black skinny guy on the run. And it was very, you know, the.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Optics were bad, it looked like it was in a Tarantino movie.

[Adam Carolla]

I was about very Django Unchained. Right? So Biden, who knew the story and all these people who have access to all this information, knew what the real story was, but immediately ran to a microphone and started talking about racism. Why, what are they doing? Certainly, what are you trying to do, get half the people who work for the Border Patrol to quit? Like, why are you, why are you weaving racism into this scene? What is your motivation?

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Cuz the backlash.

[Adam Carolla]

Are you trying to just anger black people? All Biden wanted to do was agitate black people. So that's why he said it. Now he's a president of the United States and Kamal's a vice president. So they would have access, they would be able to go, I wanna talk to the agent, I wanna know if he had a whip. I wanna have a couple pros take a good look at these pictures and see what was going on. I wanna talk to anyone who was on. I wanna speak to the photographer and see what he Saw. And I want this information before I grab a microphone and start yelling about shades of Jim Crow. But they did not. They did not. They went right to it. Why?

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Cuz reactionary move the needle.

[Adam Carolla]

You know, you get agitating black people and making them think we live in a racist nation is good for us. No, they just lost on it. But that's good. All right, here's Tom Homan. This is great. There's gonna be a thousand China moments. And so the recommendation of the many that you recommended, you recommended family separation.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

I recommend a zero tolerance which includes family separation. The same as is with every US Citizen. Parent gets arrested when they're with a child.

[Adam Carolla]

Zero tolerance was interpreted as the policy that separated children from their.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

If I get arrested for DUI and I have a young child in the car, I will be separated. When I was a police officer in New York and I arrested a father for domestic violence, I separated that.

[Adam Carolla]

Mr. Homan, with all due respect, legal asylees are not charged with any crime.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

When you're in the country illegally is Violation 8, United States Code 1325.

[Adam Carolla]

Seeking asylum is legal.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

If you want to seek asylum, go through the port of entry. Do it the legal way. The Attorney General of the United States has made that clear.

[Adam Carolla]

Okay. China. China, you bitch. You're not talking to mayorkas anymore. You're talking to guys into laws. He's gonna enforce them and he knows what the codes are so off.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

So he's a new guy that's now.

[Adam Carolla]

The border's gonna be shut. And by the way, once the word gets out that that's the dude instead of my orcas, it's shut.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Like people stop.

[Adam Carolla]

People stop showing up. You're right. They're not even standing at the.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

I can't wait to see the cartoon of him standing at the wall.

[Adam Carolla]

They're not even going to try, but they're going to have lots of China moments. That's all. That's all. It's going to be good. All right, what else you got?

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Well, you know, here's a weird one that a couple with a fake fire truck busted for impersonating firefighters. I didn't ask the guys. They had an image of these people and their fake fire truck.

[Adam Carolla]

I saw a picture.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Oh, you did?

[Adam Carolla]

I was impressed.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

That's what I mean.

[Adam Carolla]

Because I heard this story like these guys had a fake fire truck. I was like, okay, they had a Ford F150 that was red and they put a couple of sticker magnet sign things that said LA Fire Department on the side. But that's not a fake fire truck.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

That fire inspector.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh no, they had a fire truck.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Really?

[Adam Carolla]

They got a fire truck in the picture I saw?

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

They didn't see it.

[Adam Carolla]

They had a fire truck.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

That's why they buried the lead here, because I did it. They admitted to the deputies they had entered the evacuation zone. So I don't know what they were doing exactly. They got busted. I know I would think looting, but it didn't say that they were caught with anything is looting.

[Adam Carolla]

Okay, let me say this. When that's a fucking fire truck. That's what I'm saying.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Yeah, that's legit fire truck.

[Adam Carolla]

All right, you guys tell me if you concur with this looting. When I was a kid, people would get their TVs and their stereos ripped off, right?

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Yeah, Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

I have three 75 inch TVs are sitting in the entry hall, right?

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

I can't give them away. I think I got Dawson with one. I go out there and find my guy, Roberto. Roberto, poor Mexican, poor. I know he's poor. I pay him, he's poor. He's a poor Mexican man. I go out there, he's working on the side, I go, Roberta, you want a free 75 inch flat panel TV? He goes, well, let me see. Comes walking in, he goes, no, I'm good. Jesus Christ, I would have fucking blown a dude with AIDS for a 75 inch flat panel TV at any point in my life. Except for really like the last 18 months. Two years. Two years. Two years. I was yelling at everybody when I was watching tv. Watching football over the weekend as I do, have a beer and I yell at everyone because they're kind of forced to listen because of my TV and my shop, you know, I set up Kimmel at his house once as a gift for him. And all he's done for me many Years ago, talking 20 plus years ago, two 42 inch Gateway TVs. Gateway. The computer made a sort of first gen semi inexpensive flat panel. 42. I bought him two. They were three grand each. Each. Now I just bought 100 incher, 1900 bucks. But the point is, is I got 75 inchers. I can't fucking give them away. No one gives a shit anymore. So you're certainly not looting stereo equipment. Yeah, you're not stealing anyone's tv. Cuz these things are big as shit. Hard to loot and not have no street value. And evidently no value because nobody. I beg people to take these TVs out. They don't. They. I got Dawson up For one. Oh, Byron's up for another. Right?

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

So now you only have one left.

[Adam Carolla]

One left.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Oh. Me and Joe are going to fight to each other.

[Adam Carolla]

And Joe can fight over it. All right. It's also weird because spiritually, a 75 inch TV is worth more than all the gold in the world and all the love a child could provide.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Something magic about a tv.

[Adam Carolla]

It is. If somebody said to me, what would you rather have? But like, there's nothing else you can do but all the gold in the world, I'd kind of go, yeah, but I don't know, what do I do with it? Make fillings. You know, the love of your children. I mean, I like them. They're okay. Or a 75 inch TV that you could just watch in perpetuity. I'm taking the tv. If you said it could be trapped on an island, it could be trapped on an island with your favorite person. Or 75 inch TV. I'm like, well, eventually that person would try to eat me. Yeah, I'm going with the TV. It's so symbolically great to me. You cannot loot TVs. People used to steal like phonographs and shit, stereo tuners and stuff. Speakers. People steal speakers. Can't do that. So is it all. It's all just jewelry? It's all jewelry and cash, right? There is no. There's no more items.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Yeah, yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

You know what I mean? Like, oh, man, that's a brass bed. You can't do big. You can't steal a fucking Sub Zero refrigerator. This refrigerator's worth four grand. But you can't. It's all just cash. It's cash and jewelry. That's it. And these guys figure these houses have jewelry and have cash and people fled, Right? Is that where we're at?

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

I guess. I don't know. I don't know what came out of those houses. Yeah, definitely not flat screen.

[Adam Carolla]

You know what's weird? The time we're living in. Oh, yeah. Oh, like some Rolex watches.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

That's what I mean.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

That's what I'm looking for. If I'm looting.

[Adam Carolla]

We're living in a time. If someone would have said to me, like in the 70s, in the 80s, people steal car stereos. Oh, yeah, right. If somebody said to me, in the future, they're not gonna steal electronics, TV sets, car stereos. None of that. Stereos, none of it. But there'll be more dog stealing than TV stealing. I'd be like, get the fuck out of here. Who the fuck wants a dog, you know? What? I mean, the idea that people are being held up for their dog. The dog has more value than the TV set at this point. There's no more snatching TV sets. It's dogs or electronics or car shares.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

People are starting to pay for experiences.

[Adam Carolla]

Is that what it is? The snatching?

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Exactly, yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

Of Lady Gaga's dog shot up to.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Hey, and they let that guy out of jail. Accident.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, they did, yeah.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Paperwork snafu. Let Lady Gaga's dog walker shooter.

[Adam Carolla]

And also Lady Gaga did that move. She's like 500 grand to find my dog, no questions asked.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

And then somebody.

[Adam Carolla]

And then somebody got the dog. She's like, I got a couple of questions. And they're like, what happened to the 500? Well, some questions asked, that's what it is.

[Joe]

I think the statute of limitations is up on it. So I want you to know, I've stolen a dog.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Nice.

[Adam Carolla]

For fun or profit or what?

[Joe]

I felt my neighbor was mistreating his dog. He left it home for 10 days while he went to Spain.

[Adam Carolla]

Really?

[Joe]

And I liberated the dog.

[Adam Carolla]

Was he from Spain?

[Joe]

No, American guy, Asian bodybuilder.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, Asians, Yeah. There are a lot of cultures that don't see dogs. Like Whitey sees the dog, you know.

[Joe]

Like he was a guy who needed a personality. He got a dog, he tried improv, he did this. He body built. He was like one of those guys who just like needed to find something and he got a dog and he mistreated it. And I liberated that dog and rehomed him without telling anybody.

[Adam Carolla]

Wow. I kind of like that. But it is funny. Like again, certain cultures, like the Middle Eastern cultures, like he lays down with dogs and I'm like, yeah, I love it when Phil sleeps on my bed with me, you know, like, I like sleeping with my dog if you get with certain cultures. Even like my nanny was like Guatemalan, you know, and like Phil, 110 pound lab would jump onto the bed and like lay down in the middle of the bed while you're watching tv. And she just like walk in and go, the fuck. That dog's outside all day now he's fucking sleeping on top of your son. And I'm like, yeah, he is. And she'd be like, yeah, with this not allowed where she's from, that fucking dog doesn't go anywhere near that bed. And by the way, the way that dog is taught not to go in the bed, it's not with jerky treats. It's a fucking. It's a front ball kick to the ribs. It's a fucking kick to the ribs. And that's the fact you can teach them with the jerky treats. That takes a while. Yeah, Shot to the ribs. That's one and done. And that's how those cultures roll.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

So they got, like, different ways of treating their dogs.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

If you're from a culture with a lot of street dogs, you look at them very different. We know inside dogs, they know street dogs. Yeah, street dog is a different vibe. And it gets stuck in your head. You, like, become racist against dogs.

[Adam Carolla]

Phil during the summer would go out the back door and immediately dive in the pool, right? And then Phil, 110 pound of wet Phil would, like, come right back to the back door and be like, hey, boss, I need back in the house now. And I'd go. And then Olga would yell, don't let him in the house. Don't let him in the house. But look at him. Look at his eyes. Look at his eyes. He can't go in the pool and then come in the house. Okay, dry off, Phil. Just dry off out here. It's hot outside. You dry off. I'm going in the den. I'd go sit down in the den. I hear, oh, he's barking now. He's gotta come in. Olga be yelling, don't let him in. They silk is wet. Okay, Phil, you can come in. Let Phil and Phil come trucking in. Right down onto the sofa. Just, Olga, come in. What the fuck? You can't let him in the house. He wanted to come in. Look at his eyes. He barked. He did that woof, bark like it wasn't barking at something. He was telling me, come let me in. I can't. I couldn't do it. I didn't. Phil got lucky because I got fucked out of a dog as a kid. I didn't. There's no dogs. I wanted a dog. I wanted a big dog. That's all I wanted. And then at some point, I got Phil. And I'm like, no rules for you. We're best friends. You do whatever you want.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Gave you a personality.

[Adam Carolla]

Gave me a personality. Yeah. I started bodybuilding. I took an improv class. I did.

[Jason Mayhem Miller]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

But the dog is what gave me my meaning. All right, save the rest of the news for someone who cares. Covina. Tonight it's 7:30 doing a live podcast. Oh, you're gonna be there, right?
