Adam Carolla
Yeah, get it on, man. Warren Haynes is in a hotel somewhere. Of course. Allman Brothers, such a, such a great band, such great musicianship. You know, they're bands from back in the day that you go that's pretty good. But Allman Brothers, you're like, oh, the musicianship, you know, whipping post, sweet Melissa Ramblin, man, Midnight Rider, Jessica. So good to speak to you, Warren.
Ryan Reynolds
You as well. Thanks for having me.
Adam Carolla
You're out on the road, are you touring as we speak?
Ryan Reynolds
Yeah, I'm in Seattle playing here tonight and just started west coast tour. I'VE been off for a few weeks. Prior to that.
Adam Carolla
You joined the Allman Brothers in 89, was it?
Ryan Reynolds
Yeah, for a 20th anniversary reunion tour that we thought was just going to be one year. And it was very successful. And more importantly, the band, the original members were getting along and the music was fantastic, so we just kept doing it. And I was in the band for 25 years.
Adam Carolla
And you've worked with Dave Matthews and John Mayer and everybody. Where did you start out?
Ryan Reynolds
You know, my first big break, I guess was with Dickey Betts when the Allman Brothers were broken up in the 80s. I had befriended Dickey Betts and Greg Allman during that time period and I got invited to sing harmony on a Dicky Betts record that never came out. And then afterward he called me and said, hey, let's get together, write some songs and start a rock and roll band. And so I toured with Dickie for about three years in the 80s. And then in 89 they called me and said, we're putting the Allman Brothers back together and we want you to join.
Adam Carolla
And so where do you hail from and how did it all start for you in the early days?
Ryan Reynolds
Well, I'm originally from Asheville, North Carolina and started singing when I was really young, probably 8 or 9, and then started playing guitar when I was 12. I was a huge Allman Brothers fan from the very beginning, even before I picked up guitar. I loved Greg's voice and just the sound of that music in general. I had two older brothers. That kind of force fed me a lot of great music, so I was really lucky that way.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, it's kind of interesting. I was talking to a young person yesterday and she said, what kind of music do you like? And I said, good music. And she said, well, it's kind of in the eye of the beholder. And I was like, no, there's good music. You probably don't know it or you didn't hear much about it, but there's good music and then there's shit music. And that's for dumb people, but they get it spoon fed to them every day. But there is such a thing as good music and good musicians and it's better. And it's not like, oh, it's just my opinion that the Allman Brothers are better than Paula Abdul. There's a good and there's a bad. It's that way with car design, it's that way with architecture. There's a good and a bad. I mean, you can argue all you want for the Pontiac Aztec But I'm gonna go with the Ferrari Daytona in the design department. And it doesn't matter if you like it better. That just makes you dumb. And I've tried to explain that to people with music all the time, but it's always insulting to them.
Ryan Reynolds
Yeah, I think some people take music a little more seriously, and other people look at it as like background, you know, it's like wallpaper. You know, if you take it seriously, then you owe it to yourself to kind of seek out the better music, you know? I remember Wynton Marsalis saying one time when somebody asked him if he was frustrated because more people didn't listen to jazz, and he said, you know, jazz is filet mignon. Most people would rather eat at McDonald's.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, it's true. And I feel the same way about lyrics. I'm like, oh, they matter. They're part of the song. They're a big part. And I hate bad lyrics. I hate weak lyrics, and I hate cop out lyrics. But most people, I realize, don't even hear the lyrics. And they don't really hear. I think they just hear the drum, honestly. And the sort of repetition of it. I don't even know if they know what they like.
Ryan Reynolds
Yeah, I think women probably listen to lyrics more than men. Men love drums and guitars and, you know, but I have to remind myself, you know, because I agree with you, I hate terrible lyrics, too. And I go back and hear a lot of great music that I grew up with, and, God, the lyrics are so horrible. But I think I have to remind myself that what people are experiencing is just the overall picture, you know, and sometimes they don't. They don't separate it. But for me, if I can't listen to music, if the lyrics are bad, I can't do it.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. Except for maybe if I get drunk some Lover boy. Because Lover boy is the worst. Their lyrics are so insultingly bad. But the songs always have kind of a hook to them, you know? But that's gotta. Yeah, that's a few. That's a few beers in. I'll tolerate a little Lover boy.
Ryan Reynolds
Nice buffer there.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, yeah, I agree. And then I guess in a weird way, it's kind of like sports. Some people just show up to the super bowl party and they don't even really know what team's playing. They just want to eat some food and hang out with some people. And then other people really dive deep into the stats and that kind of stuff. And I feel there's a version of that with music where a lot of people are just sort of passively along for the ride, and then others are trying to break it down and explore it, and it means more to them.
Ryan Reynolds
Yeah, it would be like if you judged your favorite sports team on how they looked and how they dressed. There are a lot of people that they're just being entertained and, okay, that's fine. But some of us want more than that.
Adam Carolla
Where do you come down? And I've never asked this or thought about this, but I have found through interviewing a lot of race car drivers, because I'm a car guy and I'm a gearhead, and I've interviewed a lot of race car drivers, and they don't know anything about the mechanics of the car. They're not interested. They really don't know anything, most of them. And then most professional athletes don't know a lot about the history of the game or the statistics or who came before them and stuff like that. Do you find. And I know comedians who aren't really that interested in comedy. It's just a kind of a job, but they're not really funny in their time off. Do you know musicians, guys in bands who just aren't that interested in music that seemed more right.
Ryan Reynolds
That's disheartening. You know, I was definitely one of those people that grew up reading every credit on every album that I loved. I wanted to know who wrote the song, who played what, Even though I didn't know what a producer did. I wanted to know who produced and engineered the records. And I'm pretty geeky about music history and knowing what came before. I'm not nearly as geeky about the mechanical part of it. I can't work on guitars and maintain amplifiers and stuff like a lot of musicians do. I just never was attracted to that part of it, you know. But I think a lot of musicians start out as the hugest fans and then become musicians as a result.
Adam Carolla
You know, who are some of the greats in your book? Who did you listen to? I mean, Allman Brothers, but who else?
Ryan Reynolds
Well, in the beginning, it was Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton and Johnny Winter. Those were the first three people that I discovered. Then people like Jeff Beck and the Alma Brothers. But I soon realized that all those guys were listening to blues and jazz. So I would check out B.B. king and Freddie King and Albert King and Wes Montgomery and Django Reinhardt, Art and people like that. It's kind of like a family tree, and you just go backwards and see who everybody before you listen to. And that's a really good way of discovering where it all comes from.
Adam Carolla
Dwayne died young, right? Motorcycle accident, early 70s, right?
Ryan Reynolds
71.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, 71. And then Greg was with us till 2017, I think I read. Yeah. Is that about right?
Ryan Reynolds
Yep. And Butch as well. And Dickey Betts died last year. But there's only one original member still alive, which is Jamo, one of the two founding drummers.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. Well, I mean, it can go no other way. I mean, eventually it's gonna work that way for everyone.
Ryan Reynolds
Yeah. With the Allmer Brothers, it started early, obviously. DuWayne died in 71, and Barry Oakley died in 72, the original bass player. And they were so young. Dwayne wasn't even 25 when he died, you know, and the sky was the limit at that point. So it was very tragic.
Adam Carolla
Had they had all. Were all their hits. I mean, all the radio hits that we know so well were those in the can before Dwayne died?
Ryan Reynolds
Rambling man was recorded after Dwayne Wayne died. And then songs like Whipping Post and Midnight Rider weren't really hits at the time. They just kind of became hits through the years. You know, they. It. It took until probably 1973 for the Allan Brothers to build up a mo enough momentum to have actual hit records. But then the way it worked back then is they would start playing your early stuff and it would all become classic.
Adam Carolla
So were the Allman Brothers just very gifted guys? I mean, was it a family thing? Was there musicians in the family? How'd they get so mature so good so fast?
Ryan Reynolds
You know, that was an uncanny time period, I think, for bands like that. And the musicianship was at a higher level, a higher bar. A lot of those guys grew up in musical families, but once they got together, it was just an odd blend of personalities. You know, they were an integrated band coming out of the south in the 60s, which was very bizarre. And JMO, the drummer, who was African American, brought the kind of jazz influence to the band. He turned the band on to Miles Davis and John Coltrane, and he had played with people like Otis Redding and Percy Sledge. So they were, more importantly, I think, combining soul music and rock music and country and jazz and all that stuff and blues together in a way that nobody really had.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, I mean, that's the secret sauce, I think, like when you listen to Leonard Skynyrd, they got a lot of swing in a lot of their music. If you listen to what's sort of behind, it starts off sort of like Southern rock, but it's not Southern rock. It's got A lot of almost big band underneath it and like swing to it.
Ryan Reynolds
Yeah. And with Lynyrd Skynyrd, they orchestrated the guitar solos in a way like where two people would play together. And that was kind of a takeoff on what Dwayne Allman and Dickey Betts had done in the Allman Brothers. But they were playing in harmony, where Skynyrd would actually play like a big band. They would have two guys playing the same parts and it would have more of a big band swing kind of feel, you know. I think also Skynyrd was influenced by people like the Rolling Stones and the British band Free, which they all cited as being their favorite band. It was such an interesting time because it was going by so quickly. People were just kind of making it up as they went along. And it's hard to believe that people that young contributed to that extent, you know?
Adam Carolla
Yeah, well, I mean, it's like D Day had a bunch of 18 and 19 year olds storming the beach. And that sounds insane now because I got an 18 year old and he's not storming anything but a Taco Bell. But seriously, you look at a 17, 18, 19 year old guy as the guys who are fighting in World War II. And then you look at a 19 year old kid today, that's not the same dude. And then you see these guys, 24, 25, pork chop, you know, sideburns, holding a cigarette, traveling in a van. You're like, that doesn't, that looks like an old dude that doesn't. He doesn't feel like, doesn't sound like, doesn't play, like, likes his whiskey, likes his women. You know, talk about 24 year old dudes.
Ryan Reynolds
Yeah, and when you look at the equivalent today, it definitely doesn't feel the same to me.
Adam Carolla
No, it isn't. So maybe chronological age is something. I mean, look, if the average age is 60, when you're 20, you're 33% through with your life. But if the average life expectancy is 85, then when you're 20, it's like being 11. I think that's kind of what's going on as far as I can tell.
Warren Haynes
Yeah.
Ryan Reynolds
And like in the old days when people only lived to be 40, you had to accomplish a lot when you.
Adam Carolla
Were young, back in the day, or even not back in the day, did you guys go out with other bands? Can you remember some of the bands you went out with or who you took out? I always love a good story of some band that we've all heard of now, but no one really heard of them back in the day opening for or vice versa.
Ryan Reynolds
Well, when I joined the Alma Brothers, we always liked to do two sets and the shows were really long. Most of the time we didn't. We didn't have openers. There were some fun ones, like in 1991, Little Feet was the opener and of course they were another one of my favorite. And so I would go out and sit in with Little Feet every night and then play with the Allman Brothers every night. And it was just fantastic. You know, we did through the years a lot of interesting co builds, you know, with a few shows with Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, some shows with Steve Winwood, and, you know, people like that that I really admired. That was a big part of what was happening. It was so exciting for me. A lot of these people were my heroes that I grew up listening to.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, I had an opportunity to do some show out of town. I was in the car for about an hour and a half the other Saturday night, driving out to do an event, coming back, and I stumbled onto the Tom Petty station on Sirius xm, just scrubbing through and I just left it on because, man, the guy live sounded amazing. Just a great live show.
Ryan Reynolds
So many great songs. You know, when we did those handful of shows together, I remember it was three shows in before he played Breakdown, which was the first Tom Petty song I ever heard. And I remember thinking how amazing to have so many great songs that you can play a long show or two long shows and not even get to all of them, you know. And I remember Tom sitting in with us in LA and then a couple of other times and just really fond memories, you know, his band was fantastic live and in the studio, obviously.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, you know, it sounds so produced. I don't mean produced in a bad way, but it sounds very well produced in the studio that you assume that when you hear the live version of the song, it's going to be a little bit of a downgrade or they're not going to be able to pull off that sound in front of 10,000 people, but they do. I mean, it. It sounded amazing sitting in. I think about the thing I'm probably most jealous of, of anybody in life, you know, besides being like a Blue angel pilot or something like that. I think sitting in with a band, you know, like. Like you with Little Feet or Tom Petty with you guys like that just must be the greatest feeling of going out there and sitting in. And then how do you sit in? Like, do you practice with them or do you just Pick up what's out there.
Ryan Reynolds
You know, it varies. Usually you just kind of wing it. You know, there are times when somebody will call me and say, hey, can you come by soundcheck and we'll run through some stuff. You know, I sit in with the Dave Matthews Band a lot and sometimes we just wing it. And sometimes we'll actually rehearse. More often than not, it's less rehearsed than most people would think. But you try to pick songs that are going to go well without much rehearsal. You know, the first time I sat in with Bob Dylan, there was no rehearsal. And he was like teaching me the song on stage while people waited.
Adam Carolla
Oh, really?
Ryan Reynolds
It was rather humorous, you know, what was that like we played was all along the Watchtower. And I'm thinking, yeah, I think I know this one. But you know, what an honor that was, you know. And I think the music that's made in those settings is fantastic. Partially because of the kind of danger factor of not necessarily knowing perfectly how it goes.
Adam Carolla
How did the Bob Dylan sit in story go?
Ryan Reynolds
Well, I was doing a tour with Phil Lesh from the Grateful Dead and we did a co headline tour with, with Phil and Bob Dylan. And so there were several nights on that tour that, that Bob invited me to get up and play with him. And you know, what an honor. I would put him at the top of the list of people that I would be honored to play with. And it was fantastic.
Adam Carolla
And was Bob. Did you see the movie, by the way? The Bob Dylan movie?
Ryan Reynolds
I haven't seen it yet. I hear it's really good, but I haven't seen it.
Adam Carolla
It is good. I enjoyed it quite a bit. It's gotta be nice to be tapped to sit in. And I don't know what the etiquette is, but I can tell you with comedians you can do a drop in set, you know, like you'll go, I hear you're playing a show out in LA, gotta come by, do 10 minutes or something like that. But it's also there's an etiquette part of it which is do you ask or do you wait to be asked? Like it would seem weird if you were going up to Bob Dylan going, hey, how about I hop out on stage and swing my ax with you? Yeah, but do you ask, is there an edit? Is the etiquette they ask you?
Ryan Reynolds
Yeah, and that's always, since I was a teenager, what we were called as jam manners. You don't ask somebody else to sit in. If they want you to sit in, they'll ask you. It doesn't mean there haven't been situations where somebody has come up and said, hey, you know, if it works out tonight, I sure love to play a song. But more often than not, the etiquette is wait till you're asked. And, you know, I think it's. To me, it's intimidating enough to sit in with someone. So I don't want to be the person that said, hey, can I sit in with you and fuck up your show?
Adam Carolla
Well, you have to know that once it starts, your fingers are just going to start doing the right thing, right?
Ryan Reynolds
Hopefully.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. I know that feeling of like, going, how's this going to work? And then you get on stage and something sort of takes over.
Ryan Reynolds
Usually that's the case even if you're unprepared, nervous, sick, whatever the situation is. And you think, oh, I'm gonna suck tonight. Something about walking out on stage changes all that. And usually you rise to the occasion.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. And again, it's sort of a. It's gotta be the ultimate compliment because it's. You've been observed by this person being really good at what you do. And that's why they ask. I mean, I don't think they ask cold. They tour with you a little bit. They see you out there, they hear you and then they ask, Right?
Ryan Reynolds
Yeah. And when I think back the first time that I sat in with Dickey Betts, which I think was like 1981, I was 21 years old and it was because he had heard me play and liked my playing. And that indirectly led to our friendship, which led to me joining his band, which led to me joining the Allman Brothers. So it can be a very important thing.
Adam Carolla
Well, let me give you a plug. By the way, warrenhaines.net is the website. There's dates coming up. Lake Tahoe, Harrah's, that'll be on the 29th of April. And then a Cascade Theater in Redding, California, that'll be on the 1st of May, 2nd of May, Rockland, California, Corey Park Amphitheater. And dates will go beyond that. Wait, Dawson's got a. Oh, no, sorry. He had his hand up. I didn't know if you wanted to say something.
Ricky Lindholm
I would like to say something. I got some questions.
Adam Carolla
Oh, well, then why'd you wave me off?
Ricky Lindholm
I'm sorry, I was gonna let you finish the plug, but. Warren, this is Dawson. I saw you play with the Allman brothers during the seven turns tour back in 90 when I worked at the Concord Pavilion. And then fast forward quite a Few years when I was the music director at K Tide in Santa Barbara, you guys released the record Hitting the Note, and you were back with the band full time at that show. I kind of have two questions that have zero to do with each other. Number one, as a band member of Love, a band who has two drummers, what the hell is that like? And is it. Is it as awesome as we all would hope it would be? And then secondly, I just wanted to share a little story that when I was the music director of K Tide, we added songs from Hitting the Note. I mean, we were playing Desdemona. We loved that record. And the label exec over at Interscope kept asking me what I wanted, what I wanted. And I'm like, I'll let you know. And as soon as the brothers were announced at the Santa Barbara Bowl, I called him up and said, I need 20 tickets within the first five rows. And the guy said, okay, no problem. I think we got row eight. But that was. That was you, Derek Trucks, even Susan Tedeschi came out on stage, and two rows in front of me was a taper. And I went and made very good friends with him. And I still have that entire show from the Santa Barbara Bowl. And I listened to it like, four or five times a year. It's awesome. Drummers talk to me.
Ryan Reynolds
Well, in the case of the Alma brothers, having two drummers is magnificent because they played together so well, largely because Butch Trucks was kind of a meat and potatoes rock drummer and JMO was a jazz drummer. And their styles were so different. Yeah, they just happen to mesh. If you have two drummers that are too similar to each other, it can be kind of a train wreck. But the Allman Brothers style of double drumming is fantastic and a joy to be part of. You know, I remember that Santa Barbara bowl show you're referring to. That's always a fun place to play.
Ricky Lindholm
That's a great place to play. Only place you can see the ocean from the stands. Oh, that is small enough. And you know, Adam, there's an old joke about Southern rock, and in order to be in a Southern rock band, you have to have three guitarists. The only exception to that rule is if two of your guitarists are named Dwayne Albin and Dickey Betts.
Adam Carolla
Oh, that's a compliment joke. Warren, thanks for joining us. I know we had some technical troubles, but it was great catching up with you. Warren Hayes, everybody. All right, we'll take a quick break. Skinny Jody Miller and comedian, both comedians, Ricky Lindholm, are going to join us. And we'll do that right after this.

Jody Miller
Thank you.
Adam Carolla
I grew up on Dr. Demento.
Jody Miller
Oh, the best.
Adam Carolla
I loved. I just loved funny songs.
Jody Miller
I love making them.
Adam Carolla
They're great. It's a. It's like one of the best parts about being a kid is stumbling onto funny songs or making up a funny song.
Jody Miller
Yeah, it's the best. I used to love Weird Al so much.
Warren Haynes
Weird Al was the best.
Jody Miller
It was. I still love him, but it was my favorite thing as a child.
Adam Carolla
I was literally driving home last night listening to Billy Joel do But she's always a woman to me. And then, and then he goes, oh. And I go, she shaves hair off herself. And it's because in high school I was making up stupid words.
Warren Haynes
We all do that. We all do that. And then we get pets. And we do it to our pets, too. We start coming up with songs for our pets.
Jody Miller
Yep. Then we do it with our children.
Warren Haynes
Our children.
Adam Carolla
Yep. Is this the version? Well, let me ask you two very established and accomplished female comedians, the male, the young comedians, the 11 year old young males. You make crank calls. That's what you do, right? Every guy.
Warren Haynes
I do too, by the way. I made a call.
Adam Carolla
I'm making crank calls. But women not as much. And they're not as mean or something, or mischief or something. It's more male centric. But the songs, like Jimmy Kimmel made prank calls his whole life, but he didn't make up fake songs.
Jody Miller
Women do subterfuge at that age. We're mean. We just can't quite get away. I don't know, maybe kids today can, but we couldn't quite get away with it the way guys can, where it's like mischief. It wasn't mischief. It was really bad. And so we would subtly manipulate someone over the course of a month instead.
Warren Haynes
Of like a long term. See, I actually did do the crank calls because I had the imagination and I had that acting. So I could call up. We would find someone, we would call them Mrs. Williams. We were just, you know, shot in the dark. I am your son's teacher and I'd say usually by the third time there's some, I'm going to reach someone who has a son in school. So I would do it. Sometimes they'd be like, I don't have a son. And we're like, all right, have a nice day. So then I would call the next person. Well, maybe you should get on that. Maybe should. Maybe should work on that. But I'd eventually find someone and they would say, oh, yes. I'm like, yeah, this is your son's teacher. He's exposing himself in. In the classroom. And then sometimes they'd be like, it's kindergarten. I'm like, I know, but it's offensive. Like, I mean, you know, like, again, I was learning improv at that time, but like, my friends. My friends would. Yes, the guy friends would definitely make the crank calls. Mine were definitely more creative and it had that, like, backstory so that I can get that kid really in trouble when he came home. Yeah.
Adam Carolla
So, yeah, I was thinking, I was thinking about earlier, I was talking to someone about Crank Anchors, which is a show about crank calls. And we got everybody to do it because every dude was like, oh, I'm in. It's like, like once in a while they'll have like celebrity softball game at Dodger Stadium. And then the dudes are like, oh, yeah, like I played ball in high school. They're attracted to it, you know, and it's. And it's. It. I don't know about the songs. I don't know if there is. There is no more Dr. Demento, right?
Jody Miller
I don't think so. And I don't think middle age. That song is called Middle Aged Love. I don't think the 11 year old boys are gonna love that. Like, they might. They might. Song about, like, menopause. Yeah, they'll love it.
Adam Carolla
But you know, the interesting thing about the song is it's a. Kind of a good song anyway, even though it's a little scatological.
Jody Miller
Right, right.
Adam Carolla
So how does that work? And who are the female. Who's the top of the mountain of female songsters of musical comedians?
Warren Haynes
Yeah, I. I'm looking at it.
Jody Miller
I think it might be. Me too. Yeah. Just because I don't think there's a ton of us. There's. There's other people. There's maybe. There's maybe like a couple people.
Adam Carolla
Sarah Silverman would do some stuff.
Warren Haynes
Yes, there's someone right up there.
Adam Carolla
But it wasn't her thing.
Jody Miller
No, she was just also good at that. But it wasn't her thing.
Adam Carolla
Her thing?
Warren Haynes
Yeah.
Jody Miller
Yeah. There's not a lot of us.
Warren Haynes
There's not really. And if they are, they're mainly in sketch, like, you know, on an SNL or a, you know, traveling sketch.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, but you must have, like, you must have had serious aspirations at some point. Musically.
Jody Miller
Yes. I used to play a bunch of instruments and I, I, you know, nobody cared. And I was trying to act, and nobody really cared. And then I would play, like, funny, dumb songs at parties or stuff like that, and people would. And then they play another one, and it was like, for real. I'm like, you guys are being nice. And they're like, no, no. It just kind of kept happening. And then, like, the, you know, the world gave me hints, like, 15 times, and I didn't listen. And then finally it like, yeah, I. We, Kate Micucci and I, when we were doing Garfunkel notes, we wrote a song and we put it on YouTube. Before that was a medium, like, we. I didn't know that people could see it because it was in 2007, and it was just because the file, I couldn't send it to my parents over email. So.
Warren Haynes
Yeah.
Jody Miller
So it was accidentally on YouTube singing on my couch. And then like, a month later, someone bought it and used it as a musical number in a show.
Adam Carolla
Oh, really?
Jody Miller
Yeah, Scrubs. So it was like, oh, wait. And then I was like, okay, maybe. Maybe this is something.
Warren Haynes
Maybe this is something.
Adam Carolla
By the way, I should give something a plug. The comedy album, right?
Jody Miller
Yes. It just came out. My first solo album.
Warren Haynes
Congrats.
Jody Miller
Thank you.
Adam Carolla
No worries if not. Yep is the name of it. And it can be found wherever you find finder music.
Jody Miller
Yes.
Adam Carolla
On the.
Jody Miller
Yes.
Warren Haynes
You know where you find.
Adam Carolla
On the Internet.
Jody Miller
Yes.
Warren Haynes
Look for finer music.
Adam Carolla
So. Oh, you know, I looked down at the bottom of this, and I was like, oh, yeah. Million Dollar Baby.
Jody Miller
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
Played the bad sister.
Jody Miller
Can you believe it? That was so long ago.
Adam Carolla
I didn't know that was a big role in a big Clint Eastwood movie.
Jody Miller
First movie.
Adam Carolla
Oh, that's your first movie?
Jody Miller
Yeah. I didn't have an agent or anything for, like, a couple years after that. I was just Clint Eastwood saw me in a play.
Adam Carolla
How did that come about? So, I mean, that's a big movie academy. I'm nominated, Elise. I don't know if it won or not.
Jody Miller
It won. Yeah.
Adam Carolla
Oh, it won.
Jody Miller
My first thing. Won the Oscar. Yep. Oh, there I am. Yep.
Adam Carolla
And you get a role as the worst sister in the worst family ever.
Jody Miller
Yep.
Adam Carolla
And, yeah, and I forgot I was looking at you, and I go, oh.
Jody Miller
Yeah, that was me. And I didn't get an agent for, like, two years after that. I just. How's that.
Warren Haynes
How's that possible?
Jody Miller
I just, like, started. I didn't know anyone, and I did a play that Tim Robbins had written, and it was the year that mystic river was doing the Oscar stuff. And so Clint Eastwood came to the play and saw me in that.
Warren Haynes
So how did you not get an agent after that?
Jody Miller
I don't even know. Well, people couldn't even get a hold of me. Like, I started. Like, there was no. I mean, I did eventually, but I started doing those casting director workshops, Right?
Warren Haynes
Yeah.
Jody Miller
And then I think a casting director reached out to an agent for me because I was. I was recurring on a TV show and I was in that movie, and I was unrepresented, which is crazy.
Warren Haynes
Usually they find you. You mean immediately? And they.
Jody Miller
But you couldn't find people back then, right?
Warren Haynes
Yeah.
Jody Miller
I mean, like 2,000 people. Yeah.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. I don't know how any. I mean, it's weird. I could remember, like, when I was a kid, it's a funny thing, which is you go to the movies or whatever, and then you'd say to your mom, why don't pick us up after the moon? Then they go, call me after the movie ends. And then they'd hand you a small disc called a dime.
Warren Haynes
I remember.
Adam Carolla
Metallic disc.
Warren Haynes
Mine were quarters. I was a quarter.
Adam Carolla
It was a dime and it was metallic, but it was really just. It'll go down in future. It's just a circle. Circle that was 3.8of an inch wide. And they hand it to you and they go, use this disc, this metallic disc, and put it into that robot machine with the phone on it and.
Jody Miller
Call me and then wait. And then wait and see if I answer.
Warren Haynes
Yeah. Or if you get a busy signal.
Jody Miller
Yep.
Warren Haynes
Oh, the busy signal.
Jody Miller
Your dime. You're. Yeah.
Adam Carolla
So for. Sorry. So that. How did Clint Eastwood discover you?
Jody Miller
So he saw me in a play that Tim Robbins wrote, and then his casting director called me and I just auditioned, and then I got the part. Yeah, it was just one of the. It was like. Oh. I was like, I guess this just happens. I guess this is how it just goes.
Adam Carolla
Was it.
Warren Haynes
Every actor listening right now is ready to kill themselves.
Jody Miller
No. Yeah. My first movie won the Oscar, and then it was like 10 years of drudgery after that. It wasn't like, oh, and then.
Warren Haynes
And then everything was great. And then I won an Oscar. Yeah.
Jody Miller
Right after. Yeah.
Adam Carolla
Did it won Best Picture?
Jody Miller
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
Your first thing.
Jody Miller
First thing.
Adam Carolla
And was this up north where Clint Eastwood lives?
Jody Miller
No, this was. I. It was a play in la, and then it went to New York at the Public, and it was just lucky.
Warren Haynes
It was.
Jody Miller
And this was me, like, living in Park La Brea, sending out headshots to all the local theater companies just right.
Warren Haynes
In front of Park La Brea.
Jody Miller
You did? Yeah. You know people. Yeah, I was just like sending headshots in the. Into the.
Warren Haynes
Remember doing that?
Jody Miller
Oh, yeah. They were like sepia toned. It was like stapling my. Do you know my resume with my non existent.
Warren Haynes
You know what I sent? So everybody was sending headshots and resumes just blindly to like represent me. I'll be some. I'll be the different brunette you don't have, you know, I mean, like, I've got something special. So one time I went in to get a CAT scan of my head because I had a bad deviated septum. And they actually sent me the picture that was like an 8 by 10 of my skull. So I photocopied 50 of those and I sent that with a cover letter. That's like, I know what you're thinking. She's so transparent. And I. Then I put my real picture behind it and that got me my first lit agent.
Adam Carolla
Wow.
Warren Haynes
I was actually looking for an action, but that finally caught. I actually got a lot of phone calls from that. Some people were like, we can't represent you. But that was. We just wanted to say that was really very clever. I was like, well, you can go fuck yourself up.
Jody Miller
Right? Thank you.
Adam Carolla
I never sent anything out or auditioned or anything.
Jody Miller
Really.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, I had it. Well, maybe it's good, maybe it's bad. My family didn't like me that much and they weren't really like fans, you know. So I sort of had it in my head that why sending a picture of you or even auditioning, why is that guy gonna like you? Your mom doesn't really like you, so how are you gonna impress this guy? And so I just had it in my head that no one liked me and it wasn't really gonna work out. But if I could make something my own, then I would have to be in it. Cause I would, you know, it was a sort of. I gotta play. Cause it's my basketball.
Warren Haynes
Yes.
Adam Carolla
Even if I wouldn't get picked.
Jody Miller
That is true.
Adam Carolla
So my thing is like, I'm showing up, I'm bringing the basketball and then I'll have to play because it' what.
Jody Miller
Was your first thing where you showed up and.
Adam Carolla
Oh, I was actually reliving this with the Netflix folks today, talking about some projects. And I just wanna say this. You guys are in town. You know the way this works?
Warren Haynes
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Adam Carolla
For two weeks. For two weeks. I'm having these conversations with my group. We're gonna meet at Netflix. Gonna meet at Netflix. We gotta get there. We got a 10am with the head guy over there in animation. So we're gonna meet at Netflix at. Well, meet down in the parking structure at like, 9:45. And then we'll go in, have a lot of discussion about we're gonna meet at Netflix. So then one of the guys I'm gonna meet with, I meet here this morning at like, 9:30, and I go, all right, where are we going? Netflix. All right, I'll put Netflix in my phone. So we put Netflix in, and then he goes, I got an email for another guy that says, the parking's at 801 Gentry street and I' well, aren't we just going to Netflix? And he's like, said to park at 801 Gentry street and I'm like, then, hey, animation's different. Animation's different. Now, all I'm saying, in all the Netflix discussion, could one person say, we're not going to the Netflix. You've been to.
Jody Miller
You've been to the animation campus. No, it's totally different.
Adam Carolla
Yes. The huge building that says Netflix on it.
Warren Haynes
That's not it.
Jody Miller
Not there.
Adam Carolla
Even though we're gonna keep saying we're meeting at Netflix, we're gonna. No one's ever gonna carve out eight seconds ago, Netflix Animation. Different building, different place, other part of town. No one's ever gonna say that. We're just gonna say we're gonna meet at Netflix. That's all.
Jody Miller
That is so funny. Yeah. They're not close. They're not.
Adam Carolla
And then at some point they go, I gave you the address. Yeah, but he just said the address and said, this is where you park.
Warren Haynes
Right.
Adam Carolla
So I don't know if I'm taking a shuttle. Could anyone just go, it's a different place.
Jody Miller
Yes. And it's nice. Right? The animation building is cool.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, it was by the time we found it. Yeah.
Warren Haynes
What time did you get there?
Adam Carolla
Well, luckily, we were gonna arrive at the Netflix a little earlier. Like 15 minutes early. The place is like 10 minutes away. So we just got in, but we were doing dueling ways because I was like, what's your address? It's 1.6 miles away. Can't be the same Netflix. Maybe they have a shuttle. But no one ever bothered to say, netflix Animation campus different.
Jody Miller
You would definitely not be getting the job if they made you shuttle in from a mile and a half away.
Adam Carolla
But somebody was asking, they want to know how I got signed. I said, I did my character, Mr. Burcham on Kroc radio in the Kevin and Bean Show. I just did it for free. I just did my character on the air and within like a month and a half, I got signed by Mark Itkin at William Morris.
Warren Haynes
Wow.
Adam Carolla
And he just listened to the radio and he was a Kevin and Bean or a KROC guy. They were gonna do Loveline, the TV show, and they were gonna syndicate it. And so he was just the agent and he did syndication packages and he just listened to KROQ at like the gym in the morning and stuff. And then I was on just for free. I was just working. I was a carpenter.
Jody Miller
Wow.
Adam Carolla
At the time. And this guy was like, who's this guy?
Jody Miller
That is amazing.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. So my little plan worked out. Yeah, but it wouldn't have worked out if I handed out headshots.
Jody Miller
I don't feel mine didn't either. Handing out headshots.
Warren Haynes
I don't know.
Jody Miller
I guess I did because I got a.
Warren Haynes
You did?
Jody Miller
I got an audition at an unpaid theater company on Santa Monica Boulevard. That was.
Adam Carolla
Where do you hail from?
Jody Miller
I'm from Portville, New York, which is like a town of a thousand people near Buffalo.
Adam Carolla
Uh huh.
Jody Miller
So I just like, knew nothing. I knew zero. People just like, just came here like totally, like completely thinking I would make it. And then I'm like, oh, I don't know anybody.
Warren Haynes
I mean, everybody does. Everybody really thinks I'm going to get off that bus, so to speak. I actually, I rented a car, Rent a wreck. Do you guys remember when they had Rent a Wreck here?
Adam Carolla
Yes, I do.
Warren Haynes
Yeah. It was like 400 for the month for this car.
Adam Carolla
Right.
Warren Haynes
That tape on the windshield. And I remember being like, this is it. This is. This is how it starts. And I will take a picture of this car with my camera and get it developed and hold onto this picture so everybody can see where I started from. This is my story, my origin story. And guys, it was not. It did not.
Adam Carolla
Did you think it was? I don't. I never thought anything was going to work out.
Warren Haynes
I thought everything was because when I first started in New York, I booked everything. The first three things I like. You have that childlike optimism when you first started.
Jody Miller
Yeah, My first movie won the Oscar. Yeah, you get that instant. And then you're like, oh, now it just works out.
Warren Haynes
Yeah, it just works out. My first friends were even like, everything works out for you. Like, yeah. People would see me performing improv on stage and they're like, you have to do this show. You have to do that. And then I like my first audition for a soap. I got it hungover. I was like, forget. Because I was in musical theater at the time. I was like, musical theater. So I was doing soaps, and then I did like one line in Law and Order. Like, just. I was like, here's the verdict. I mean, it was like those things. But I was like, this is easy.
Jody Miller
It's easy.
Warren Haynes
And then it was not. It gets hard for 30 years.
Adam Carolla
Well, don't worry. The next 60.
Warren Haynes
It's coming.
Adam Carolla
Are gonna be killer.
Jody Miller
Gonna get a meeting at Netflix Animation.
Warren Haynes
Netflix Animation.
Adam Carolla
Animation just stop. And all the conversations all. There are 29 going to Netflix. Going to Netflix in a week. Got a Netflix meeting coming up on the 24th. We're gonna meet tomorrow in Netflix. And all the back and forth. No one ever said, not the Netflix you're thinking of.
Jody Miller
So funny.
Adam Carolla
I know, but it's perfect, isn't it?
Jody Miller
Yes. I wrote an animated movie for Netflix. You did? Yeah, in 2019. I sold it to them. So it was like during the pandemic. And then the first time I went in was at the New Animation building.
Adam Carolla
I wish you'd give me a heads up.
Jody Miller
Yeah, I know.
Warren Haynes
You should have known.
Adam Carolla
So did they make it?
Jody Miller
They started to. I don't know what's happening. They got a different writer after, like, four years. They were like, we're gonna rebreak it. I'm like, okay. Cause that happens to everybody. Animated movie. And I. I don't know who started it. They, like, romanticize it where they're like, no, it used to be about a chipmunk. And then we threw it all away and now it's an ice age movie.
Warren Haynes
Like. But it's the same movie. It's the same. Yeah, everything's different.
Jody Miller
Everything's like Hero's Journey. They just. It's just. Yeah. I don't. I don't get what the whole. Like, why they romanticize. Like, they threw it all away and then started. Yeah.
Warren Haynes
They make it seem like it's. Yeah. The best decision they've ever made. It's gonna be.
Adam Carolla
But you sold them a feature.
Jody Miller
Oh, yeah.
Adam Carolla
Like, in full length.
Jody Miller
Yeah, I got paid to write it for four years, so that was good.
Adam Carolla
Did you do it on spec?
Jody Miller
No, I just pitched it.
Adam Carolla
Oh, you pitched it and then they. Yeah. I don't know how anything works.
Warren Haynes
I don't either.
Adam Carolla
The other day, I was thinking about a Pixar thing. They were doing a thing. I don't know. It was like they did cars and they were going to do planes, and then they're going to do another planes. It's up the street here. And one guy was a big fan or whatever. I was in there. I was like pitching. I was doing voices. I was the Colonel. I ran the place. I was there for like six months of talking and showing sketches of my character and stuff like that. And like the other day I was like, that was seven years ago. What happened to any of. I mean, there were whole rooms with sketches and all the characters and we were laying stuff down and I was working with that actor and this actor. And it seems like a weird dream, right?
Jody Miller
It just goes away.
Adam Carolla
Where is it? And then who paid for all of the sketches and all the stuff and all the recordings?
Jody Miller
And they hired all these artists, all these engineers, and then they just stop.
Warren Haynes
One day and you don't realize that that's the last day. Like, don't come in today. And then you just realize you're never coming in again.
Adam Carolla
No, that's not the last day. The last day is I'll see you next week.
Jody Miller
Yes, yes.
Adam Carolla
And then you never see them again.
Warren Haynes
Well, that's what I mean. That's the last thing. You don't know. It's the last day. You're just like, yeah, okay, bye. And then that's it.
Adam Carolla
It's a weird business that way.
Warren Haynes
It's really weird.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, but that's why you kind of have to skipper your own shit. You have to, because if you don't create your own stuff, it all just kind of slides through the drain of life. Right.
Jody Miller
You're just auditioning.
Warren Haynes
Yes.
Jody Miller
Doing.
Warren Haynes
You know, I think you also have to be open to, like, something new, possibly something that you didn't think you were. Like, there's somebody pitches something to you. You know what I mean? A lot of people are just like, no, but it's like, just be open. Just think about it.
Jody Miller
Yeah, I've been doing a one person show. I never thought I would do that.
Warren Haynes
I did a one person.
Jody Miller
I did it in Edinburgh at the Fringe Festival.
Adam Carolla
Oh, really?
Jody Miller
This past year. Yeah. It's about my infertility journey.
Warren Haynes
I can't see it. I'm gonna see it.
Adam Carolla
Oh, yeah?
Jody Miller
Yeah. It's about not being able to have a baby.
Warren Haynes
I can't wait to see it.
Jody Miller
And then. Yeah. And I did it last night at the Elysian. So I've been just doing it and.
Adam Carolla
What are the ch. Well, I don't know what's going on with the. What's wrong? Why?
Jody Miller
What's going on with what?
Adam Carolla
Well, I had that. I had that situation too. And you couldn't have a baby. Yes.
Jody Miller
So many people do.
Adam Carolla
Because, hey, look, if we're going to be pregnant, then I can't have a baby.
Warren Haynes
I get it. I just asking you. You can't carry a kid.
Adam Carolla
I once did a competition with Jimmy at a sperm clinic once for a man show bit. And I think we found out that while he had a greater kid sperm count, yours were better swimmers, mine were better looking.
Warren Haynes
That's the most important thing.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. I didn't even know how they could tell. They have an electron microscope or something. Maybe the guy was just a fan. I don't know. Now I said, yeah, mine were more mobile.
Warren Haynes
They would have been better if they were better looking if they got like one little shot. Can we get a shot of Adam's sperm on any screen, please?
Adam Carolla
It really was. It was the craziest bit. It was the first shoot for one of our female directors. And we didn't have. We didn't have a lot of female directors, but we had a few. And this is her first shoot.
Jody Miller
Oh, my God. You actually went and gave a sample and. Yeah.
Adam Carolla
Oh, yeah, we had a competition. Yeah. Sweet.
Warren Haynes
Was that her last shoot as well?
Adam Carolla
No, her name was Beth Einhorn. She still works around and I got along well with her.
Warren Haynes
Any of that sperm go missing? Like, any of the samples go missing?
Adam Carolla
I felt like it was a little light, like, you know, when Mike August hands me the merch. When he hands me the merch. Merch money. At the end of the weekend, I go. Feels a little like somebody's like, I'm.
Warren Haynes
Gonna take this and I'm gonna, gonna. I'm just gonna inseminate myself. A good looking Adam Carolla.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, I had to do.
Jody Miller
Oh, my gosh. That's so funny. The picture.
Adam Carolla
Oh, yeah.
Warren Haynes
Oh, yeah. Oh, my God. There you are.
Adam Carolla
We were at a. Yeah, we went. Had a race.
Warren Haynes
Did you guys race to see who finished?
Adam Carolla
Oh, yeah.
Warren Haynes
Okay, good. All right. Did you guys both have, like, paraphernalia, like, stuff to look at or was it. Was it an even race is what I'm saying? Like, did one of you watch porn and one of you had had a magazine or. It's gotta be fair.
Adam Carolla
It's gotta. You can't have a situation where, you know, he has an unfair advantage or I have an unfair advantage, you know?
Jody Miller
Same materials.
Warren Haynes
Yeah, same materials.
Adam Carolla
I don't. I don't recall us having any materials.
Warren Haynes
Were you in the room together?
Jody Miller
No.
Adam Carolla
Well, yeah, but back to back, we were facing. Okay.
Jody Miller
Just making sure.
Warren Haynes
Just making sure.
Adam Carolla
No, we're in separate rooms that were separated by like a 28 inch hall, right?
Warren Haynes
Oh, yeah.
Ricky Lindholm
And.
Adam Carolla
And I beat him. No, he. He'd also put himself back together before he stepped out and rang the bell. You know, I just. When I was done, I was done, you know, I. I jumped out.
Warren Haynes
You washed your hands before you rang that bell, right?
Adam Carolla
He. No, he didn't. He didn't. He. Let's put it to you this way. If you would have factored in the 18 seconds it took him to get his pants up and cinched up and fly up and shirt tucked back in and stuff, it would have been a dead heat. It would have been a dead heat. Yeah. So sorry. So then I had to go through ivf.
Jody Miller
Oh, gosh. Yeah.
Adam Carolla
Later. Which is its own thing because it's. It's a different.
Jody Miller
It's wild. I did years of that. I did everything. Yeah. I tried to adopt for a long time. I did everything and then ended up making a baby in a lab and getting a surrogate.
Adam Carolla
Oh, yeah. So how old's the baby now?
Jody Miller
Three.
Adam Carolla
Oh, three. And is it Fred Armisen? You're married, right?
Jody Miller
Yes, yes. But the baby's. You know, I started dating Fred when the baby was in utero. So he's the dad, but not the biological dad. Yeah.
Adam Carolla
And so how do you figure out who's the, you know, the biological. How do you. How do you work for that.
Jody Miller
It's just a sperm bank, so I don't know.
Adam Carolla
Oh, you don't know?
Jody Miller
Like SX7MC.
Adam Carolla
Oh, so you don't know.
Warren Haynes
You picked out. I mean, to me, when I was looking for sperm donors, that was like the fun part to like, look. You know what I mean? And sperm.
Adam Carolla
Don't you look. Pictures.
Warren Haynes
It is a lot like a baby pictures. Baby pictures. You can hear their voice.
Jody Miller
Oh, you could?
Warren Haynes
Oh, yeah, I could totally hear their voice. You can hear their voice? Yeah, I could totally hear it. They'd be like, hey, I like skiing and jerking off in cups.
Jody Miller
I don't know. It might as well. For me, it just at the. At that point in my journey had been so long that I was just. It's like random. Yeah. I just did it for you. Like, just on health, like. Right, Health. You just like, know with the egg donor and the sperm donor, there's no cross.
Warren Haynes
Right.
Jody Miller
What's it called when a gene, like. No. Gene mutation.
Adam Carolla
Mutations.
Jody Miller
Yeah. Or what's too recessive?
Warren Haynes
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Jody Miller
Two recessive genes. It was more that.
Adam Carolla
So you were. You were focused on health and I was focused on Jody's more Superficial. She wanted height. She wanted to know the guys. 401k.
Jody Miller
Right.
Warren Haynes
I mean, I don't care about that. I just want blue eyed over six.
Jody Miller
Foot, you know, there's no short sperm dog. Yeah, you can't, they won't accept because. Because all things being equal, the women pick the tall one just because it's not personal, you know, so they don't, they don't. You can't walk in the door.
Adam Carolla
I think the over unders like five nine and a half or something.
Jody Miller
No, it's five ten or five eleven or.
Warren Haynes
I think it's actually five nine. So there's a comic, Brenton Biddlecomb, does a at the Comedy Store. He literally says he's too short to donate sperm. I think you have to be. Yes. Five nine.
Jody Miller
Five nine or something. Yes.
Adam Carolla
I'm picturing the counter being too high for him.
Warren Haynes
You have to be able to jerk up on this counter.
Adam Carolla
So they have a thing where they have like a cutout of Tom Cruise standing in the hall and you gotta.
Warren Haynes
Go back to back with them still to donate.
Adam Carolla
They would take Tom's jizz though.
Jody Miller
Oh yes. Of course.
Adam Carolla
If Tom Cruise walked, they'll make an exception.
Jody Miller
Yes.
Warren Haynes
I, when I first time I tried to get pregnant, I went to the California sperm bank, the one in Santa Monica, because I was doing a double insemination. So I had sperm coming from one place and then I went there to pick up sperm and this guy walked in to drop off his sample and I was like, I will fuck you right now. I will take that man right now. And I was off ovulating because we know. Because I had to get it real.
Adam Carolla
Right.
Warren Haynes
Anyway, I carried it. I drove in the carpooling with that sperm over to the client.
Adam Carolla
58 or 59 are the particularly for the white donors. I see as I prioritize clients preferences for taller children. Yeah, it makes sense.
Jody Miller
Yeah, yeah. Just because it's kind of the only variable. Like do you want a tall or short? It's like everyone would just go, I guess tall. I guess every other variable could be different.
Adam Carolla
So you were going with the science and the health, but did you physically see a photograph of just baby pictures? Baby pictures, yeah, but it's like baby pictures.
Jody Miller
It all feels random anyway. Yes, I know you can be the best looking parent, have the worst looking. It just all felt at this point I was like, so just tired and it just.
Adam Carolla
Or you could have a real battle royale like Christie Brinkley and Billy Joel. Like who's gonna win? Yeah, we get the Ugly kid or not. You know what I mean?
Warren Haynes
We know who won.
Adam Carolla
Listen, it always. They always win. That's how it goes. But. But. So baby pictures.
Jody Miller
Yeah.
Warren Haynes
Yeah.
Jody Miller
But it just, like, doesn't matter. It's just like.
Adam Carolla
But that's weird to me. I don't know why. Baby pictures.
Jody Miller
Because some people want anonymity. Like, they don't want you to be able to find. They don't want you to be able to take the. To locate them.
Adam Carolla
Yes, but the baby then feels like. I just do. No pictures, then. Baby picture.
Jody Miller
Right.
Adam Carolla
But you can kind of see, you know, you see what color they are.
Warren Haynes
Did you. Did yours have a baby picture? Did you go back and look at your son to that baby picture?
Jody Miller
I've never thought about it again.
Warren Haynes
Okay. Yeah, I probably. I probably. No, I probably would go back and look because I look at my birth. At my daughter's birth mom's pictures.
Jody Miller
I don't even think I have the stuff anymore. I've got. It's just. It. I was like, yeah, I mean.
Warren Haynes
Yes.
Jody Miller
Because I was at the point where everything was. I just actually didn't think it would work. I was like, well, let's try this. Whatever. I was, like, waiting for that to fail, and then it didn't. And I was like, oh, oh, okay.
Adam Carolla
So it's. It's baby picture, guy sperm and then.
Jody Miller
Egg of random woman.
Adam Carolla
Random.
Jody Miller
Yep.
Adam Carolla
And that's random as well. You don't.
Jody Miller
You get more information on the women. Right. You get lots of information on the women. Lots of pictures of surrogates. Yeah.
Warren Haynes
And donated eggs, too.
Jody Miller
Yeah.
Warren Haynes
They pay them a lot of money.
Jody Miller
But you have to be.
Warren Haynes
You have to actually hit a lot of. You have to pass a lot of tests.
Jody Miller
Yeah. You have to do psychological tests. The men, it's kind of. They don't care. Yeah, they just don't care. That's the difference. Like, the women, it's a whole. But you have to have surgery and do. Yeah. And you have the maternal draw. Yeah. So you have to have all sorts of things.
Adam Carolla
So then you get the surrogate. And the surrogate's a third person.
Jody Miller
Yes.
Adam Carolla
All right. And then you implant and then you have a relationship with the surrogate.
Jody Miller
Yeah, I'm going to her daughter's birthday on Saturday. Yeah. We're so friends.
Adam Carolla
Oh, really?
Jody Miller
Yeah. Yeah, we're friends because she lives here, so.
Adam Carolla
And then, you know, you make sure she's eating the right stuff and not drinking or anything.
Jody Miller
Didn't even do that.
Adam Carolla
Didn't do that.
Jody Miller
Didn't do Anything. I was just. It was just like. I just still didn't think it would work. And also, she was just so steady and normal and had done it a bunch. Had a bunch of healthy babies. And I'm like. I was like, she's fine.
Adam Carolla
Yeah.
Jody Miller
Also, they don't actually need to eat that healthy. They can't drink, but they actually don't because the babies are parasites. So they get all the nutrients and.
Adam Carolla
Like, they take the good stuff.
Jody Miller
Yeah, they take everything first. So if she wants to feel good, she needs to eat first.
Adam Carolla
I feel that way about my kids.
Jody Miller
They take it all for their parents.
Adam Carolla
Taking all the good stuff. Right.
Jody Miller
Always. Yeah.
Warren Haynes
I always. My daughter's birth mom does meth. She's a meth addict. And she's had, well, now, 14 very healthy babies.
Jody Miller
Like, it's kind of fine.
Adam Carolla
14?
Warren Haynes
Yeah. So, you know, my daughter has a half sibling now that my friends adopted.
Adam Carolla
Oh, wait, I thought your baby was Asian.
Warren Haynes
No.
Adam Carolla
Did I make that up?
Jody Miller
What does that have to do with 14 siblings?
Adam Carolla
The math. And the 14 siblings.
Jody Miller
Right.
Adam Carolla
Really go down the Asian route?
Warren Haynes
No, no, no, not at all.
Jody Miller
Yeah.
Warren Haynes
So, but here's what's interesting. When I was in the NICU with her, because she was preemie, there were a lot of babies that were detoxing, which is not funny. But they. They did assure it, like, as soon as they were done detoxing, they would. They would be totally healthy and really fine. In fact, the worst thing a pregnant woman can do is drink all of the drugs. It's, like, crazy. That's the worst thing you can do in your drought. Having said that, I was talking to them about so many crack babies, meth, heroin. So when a woman gets pregnant, if she's addicted to heroin, what she'll do? So the state doesn't take her baby. She'll go on methadone, which is just basically legal heroin. So the state doesn't guess what methadone is. It's a fertility aid.
Adam Carolla
Oh, so they have more.
Warren Haynes
That's a design flaw.
Jody Miller
Yeah. Oh, my gosh.
Ryan Reynolds
Yeah.
Warren Haynes
So here we are, eating organic.
Adam Carolla
Yeah.
Warren Haynes
Being really healthy.
Jody Miller
Yeah. It doesn't matter.
Warren Haynes
Doesn't. Right.
Adam Carolla
So now she has a half. Somebody adopted.
Warren Haynes
My friend.
Adam Carolla
My really good friend adopted another baby that.
Warren Haynes
My daughter's half brother.
Adam Carolla
Right. So it's half. Same mother.
Warren Haynes
Same mother. He's two. My daughter's four.
Jody Miller
Yeah.
Warren Haynes
And they have another son that's six.
Jody Miller
That's so cute.
Warren Haynes
He's really cute. We just saw them for the holidays, and they're Just adorable. I mean, they look so much alike, sound so much alike. It's just really, it's very special that she's gonna get to grow up now.
Adam Carolla
Is the mom still on drugs?
Warren Haynes
She is. She's actually. We communicate with her often, send her pictures and we send her food like maybe once a month, you know, like from. She has apartment, so we send her like groceries. You know what I mean? Yeah, she's. She just had a horrible, horrible life, but she's a very funny person. She cracks me up. I always think, like, if she had a different life, if she had been adopted because she was dropped off at child protective services when she was like her parents anyway, if I think if she had been adopted, who could she have been? She's so funny. She's just a funny person.
Jody Miller
My surrogate's really funny too. My surrogate, the first Mother's Day after we matched, she dressed up in a Handmaid's tale outfit and just sent me a photo of herself and said, under his eyes.
Warren Haynes
Amazing.
Jody Miller
Yeah, she's the best.
Ricky Lindholm
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
My surrogate is like the Carol Leifer of surrogate. So I don't want to be a 1 upper, but she writes for Seinfeld. I mean, she's a super fun, funny surrogate. And I'm sure you guys are like cute funny or funny for a surrogate, but my surrogate's funny for a comedian.
Warren Haynes
And your sperm is so hot. You have the hottest sperm in town.
Adam Carolla
The guy said. Jimmy said more, but mine were better looking.
Warren Haynes
Imagine if the sperm just had a full head of hair. Just like your hair on the sperm.
Adam Carolla
Oh, what a journey, everybody. What's with it, man? I got my parents. I, me and my sister. Had to be a mistake. We had to be.
Jody Miller
It's just that you have them.
Warren Haynes
Yes.
Jody Miller
It's harder. They don't really tell you. They're like, you can have babies till you're 40. It's like, I get maybe.
Warren Haynes
I think they mean, you know what's true is that our uteruses don't age the same way. You know, our ovaries do. So my gynecologist was like, your uterus is great. And I'm like, well, I work out, so obviously. But she's like, yeah, you can definitely carry a baby. So we can carry babies. Just the egg quality. I think it's a design flaw too, that we're most fertile, like in our teen years.
Jody Miller
I know.
Warren Haynes
We should start getting our periods at 25.
Jody Miller
Yes.
Warren Haynes
Until they're 50. And then, you know what I mean. But I did read a statistic. For the first time ever, More women over 40 are having babies than teenage girls.
Adam Carolla
It's the first time, really?
Warren Haynes
Ever.
Adam Carolla
Really? That's good.
Warren Haynes
It is good. It is amazing.
Adam Carolla
Well, so Fred, who did Cranky Anchors? Oh, he did, by the way.
Jody Miller
Oh, I bet he's great at that.
Adam Carolla
Oh, he's great at it because he did. He did a few characters. He did one I was trying to find, but I couldn't find it. But he did an American Indian. But it was great because it was very subdued.
Jody Miller
Yeah. Everything's so.
Adam Carolla
So quiet. And he was calling a place he bought a dream catcher from and he was having wild dreams and he wanted it recalibrated or whatever because his dream catcher was getting. Fucking him up badly.
Jody Miller
Mention the wrong ones.
Warren Haynes
So funny.
Adam Carolla
It's a funny. It's a funny premise. And if we had a computer that had stuff labeled on it, we could find it. But I can't. No one was able to do that.
Jody Miller
But that song we heard, Fred drummed on it. He was.
Adam Carolla
Oh, he did. Well, then I was gonna ask two things. He's a musician, and he did Stand up for drummers. Or he did a special.
Jody Miller
Stand up for drummers. Yeah, right.
Adam Carolla
It was funny. So he's a musician, so you guys should be able to make beautiful music together.
Jody Miller
That's how we kind of met. We met like 15 years ago. I think it through just like musical comedy stuff. Just around. Did you.
Warren Haynes
Were you, like, attracted to him right away or.
Jody Miller
No, No, I wasn't. No. I was like. I used to want to, like, date like a regular guy. I didn't want to date a show business. Yeah. Everyone I dated was like an accountant or something, like a lawyer. Like, that was my type. And then. Yeah, then things changed.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. Well, women don't need to be initially attracted to the guys. It can come later on.
Jody Miller
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
I feel like men probably need the initials.
Warren Haynes
I need a little bit of attraction.
Adam Carolla
Well, you're wired like a dude. You got a dude. Wiring.
Jody Miller
Oh, it's not that.
Adam Carolla
You and Megan Kelly.
Jody Miller
Yeah, it's not that he was in a relationship.
Adam Carolla
Dude, wiring. That's good.
Warren Haynes
No, Yeah, I mean.
Adam Carolla
Mean, it's a healthy libido.
Warren Haynes
Right.
Adam Carolla
They speak their mind, you know?
Jody Miller
Yeah.
Warren Haynes
I mean, here's the thing. It's like, I've definitely met men that I thought they were attractive, but I wasn't. Like, there was nothing there. And then that's what it was.
Jody Miller
It wasn't. It's not that I was like, oh, he's so unattractive. It's just he was in a relationship. I wasn't looking to date a comedian.
Warren Haynes
We turn that part of our brain off. Like, oh, yeah.
Jody Miller
We are trained how to turn that off. Because if it's on a little too.
Warren Haynes
Much, you get, yeah, oh, yeah, for sure.
Jody Miller
And started getting penalized. People like, yeah, yeah, start. You start having problems.
Warren Haynes
If guys can turn that off, can you turn that off?
Jody Miller
Well, they don't have to, really. Well, I guess they do now. Maybe.
Warren Haynes
Well, if you saw a woman, she's like, oh, my God, but she's married or whatever, you just can turn that off. Right?
Adam Carolla
Or I just did it 37 minutes ago. If that was on right now, this would be a different show.
Warren Haynes
Okay.
Adam Carolla
All right, Blondie.
Warren Haynes
We would get a nice close up.
Jody Miller
Full middle age love.
Warren Haynes
Yeah.
Jody Miller
Middle age love. Yeah. Oh, my gosh. It's so funny. It's so true.
Adam Carolla
Doing my best creepy voice.
Warren Haynes
Pretty good.
Jody Miller
It's pretty good.
Warren Haynes
Sound a lot like your regular voice.
Adam Carolla
I don't. Yeah, I think guys, I. I don't know. I never really had the lechy thing, but I always had low self esteem, so I was always like, well, that person. Why would they like you? You know? So that would was my mantra.
Warren Haynes
I'm sure they like you more because girls are like, no. Like, yeah, they're not coming on if they have that attitude.
Jody Miller
With Fred, I just had to like, tell him, oh, did you? Yeah.
Adam Carolla
Does he have a little, like, idiot savant or something in him? Is he on the spectrum of something? Like such an unlikely comedic presence, but yet he's so talented. But he doesn't seem. He doesn't possess a lot of the stuff that comedians possess.
Jody Miller
No, he's just kind of normal, I think. But yeah, he definitely is brilliant. But I don't think he's on the spectrum. I think he just is odd. He's just his own little thing. He's in his own Fred world and always has been and just sort of exists in this plane of reality.
Warren Haynes
That's so great.
Jody Miller
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
So you're doing songs and he's a musician, but he doesn't do the novelty songs.
Jody Miller
Or does he?
Adam Carolla
Or we call him that.
Jody Miller
Well, he did for snl, but he hasn't really done him since.
Adam Carolla
But you come up with the song and then he drums on it and then are you bouncing it off him or do you not looking for his input? Cause that can be a little tough sometime, maybe eventually.
Jody Miller
We've only been married like three years, so I don't know it's like, yeah, yeah. No, we're still, like, you know, impressing each other. I still come to, like, full songs and play, like. Yeah. I don't know. Yeah. Not really. No.
Adam Carolla
And then how was he with the bun in someone else's oven?
Jody Miller
He couldn't have been. It was like nothing was happening. It was just like that because he.
Adam Carolla
Thinks he's dating you, but he doesn't know there's something else going on over here.
Jody Miller
He knew we were all in Romania together. And, like, I was talking about nothing else. I was like, I have a baby on the way. It's worth.
Adam Carolla
But I mean. But first you got to get to Romania.
Jody Miller
Yes.
Adam Carolla
As they say.
Jody Miller
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
No, but I mean, it's like, you have to go on a date with him first, right? Like, there has to be some point where you have to, you know, like. Like herpes, right?
Warren Haynes
Yeah. When you tell him, you know that the first time you told me you had herpes. That's funny.
Adam Carolla
You got to bring salad in the entree. You got to weave the herpes in there.
Jody Miller
My opening offer to him, boyfriend. Before we'd even gone on a date, so.
Warren Haynes
Oh, really?
Jody Miller
Yeah. Cause, well. Cause we'd been in Romania together, like, just having dinner every night and talking.
Adam Carolla
And he didn't tell me about Romania. Why were.
Jody Miller
We were filming the TV show Wednesday.
Adam Carolla
Oh, okay. So you were working together, right?
Jody Miller
Oh, we were always in groups, and I was, like, starting to have feelings, and I was like, what do I do? Like, it was unprofessional. So I was like, I feel like I couldn't say anything. So I waited till his last day, and then I was like. Then I sent him a text. I was like, so, like, what'd the text say? I was basically like, I think you should be my boyfriend. Like, I know this is crazy, bad timing. I'm having a child in two weeks, but that's how I feel. So.
Warren Haynes
And what did he say?
Jody Miller
He said, is this for me? Like, he didn't think because I wasn't, like, flirting with him, he didn't know it was for him. And then. Yeah. And then we went on our first date the next night.
Adam Carolla
Really?
Jody Miller
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
That's good.
Jody Miller
Yeah. But I was just, like, I've just known him for so long. I'm like, I don't go on a date, like, either. Like, try this or not now. Is it just to, like. It wasn't like that.
Adam Carolla
You're not going to admit this, but is that tall, blonde confidence right there? Like, hey, new boyfriend who doesn't even know it.
Jody Miller
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. Good.
Jody Miller
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
Okay. Yeah, you're honest.
Jody Miller
That's fine.
Adam Carolla
You're tall. You're blonde. You're beautiful.
Jody Miller
I was, like, alone in Romania.
Warren Haynes
I was like, it's in Romania.
Jody Miller
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And also, like, I was just. I don't know. You know, Everyone kind of knows everything. Like, everyone. Like, I was like, I think. I think he'll say yes. I don't know why. I just like.
Warren Haynes
Yeah, you just knew. You knew.
Jody Miller
Yeah. Yeah. And I was. I had to leave. I was like, I don't want to. Yeah. I just want to. Just. Let's just see what he says.
Warren Haynes
Right?
Jody Miller
And he was.
Warren Haynes
And it worked out.
Adam Carolla
And then he. You went on a date the next night, and did he give you some insight? Like, I was thinking about you, too, or any of that stuff?
Jody Miller
Not really. No. No, he. No, he was just like, yeah, great. Yeah. And I was like, cool. And like, it was just like, let's see what happens. Let's try it. And then. Yeah, it worked out. It was. Yeah. Because I thought I'd be, like, a single mom with a boyfriend. Right. And then. Yeah. It just went better than that. It was amazing.
Warren Haynes
So, wait, you guys got married after the baby was born?
Jody Miller
Yep. Like, three months after. Yeah, I know. It was so weird. It was so. It was just like. I couldn't. I couldn't find, like, the. There was no inn. I kept trying to find an inn. He doesn't drink. There was a curfew in Romania because of COVID I couldn't ever get him alone. I was like, I have no choice but the truth. And, like. And doing, like, a. Like, he was leaving. I was leaving. There was no. Like, I couldn't just be like, hey, maybe you want to get. No. It was like, fuck it.
Warren Haynes
I thought you were gonna say, there's a curfew in place because it was Romania.
Jody Miller
No, I know.
Warren Haynes
I was just like. Because this. Yeah, of course. Romania. Of course.
Adam Carolla
Was. He. Does he live in Los Angeles? And so you lived. At least you knew you were both coming back to Los Angeles. At least there was that.
Jody Miller
And we'd been friends for 15 years, so it was just too. It was like. And we'd, like, hung out several times as friends. Like, it was too. I couldn't hide the ball.
Warren Haynes
I couldn't be like, had he always wanted kids?
Jody Miller
No.
Warren Haynes
That's so crazy.
Jody Miller
Yeah.
Warren Haynes
And great and amazing. Everybody told me when I became a mom, they were like, this is so great. Now you're gonna meet the guy because you have the Baby. I'm like, really? They're like, it's just gonna happen. And it's. It's been four years.
Adam Carolla
Are you on a dating app or service or anything?
Warren Haynes
I mean, I've been on. I've been on a lot. And by the way, that's the thing, guys. Never. Even though I have my daughter in multiple pictures, I mean, not like her face, per se. It's in pictures. I put it in, like, the opening thing. You know, I'm a mom of whatever, however old she is. And yet they still act so surprised. Like, I could be giving birth in one of the pictures and they would still be like, I thought that was your niece.
Jody Miller
No. Because they look at one picture and pick yes or no. They don't read anything.
Warren Haynes
They're looking at my pictures.
Jody Miller
They just go, yes. No.
Warren Haynes
Even if there's a child on my boob, they're still just like, move her out of the way. I've actually gotten to the date and been like, yeah, my daughter. And he's like, wait a minute, you have kids? It's like, it's bizarre.
Adam Carolla
Is a first date is that fun or good or awkward and weird? I mean, there's an argument to be made for either one.
Warren Haynes
It's, I think, right now. And I don't know if you went through this on the dating apps, everybody. There's two types of people. People that just want to just text back and forth, message back and forth, and never ever and never ask you out. Really, really annoying. It's really annoying. Or they're like, let's. Let's get on the phone real quick. And I'm like, no, let's meet. And sometimes that's great, because then, you know, I'm not even going to meet you for coffee, but I would rather actually get out of the house, meet you for coffee, maybe a drink, one hour. Let's just see. You know what I mean? Because to be honest with you, I feel like there's so many people that I've passed on on the app that if I met them in person, I probably would like them and vice versa. So I want to meet you immediately. I don't even want to talk to you on the phone because, again, that's something. Sure. We might, like, have, you know, something in common or we're laughing on the phone. I need to actually see you in person. You know what I mean?
Jody Miller
Yeah.
Warren Haynes
Get the feel.
Jody Miller
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
Here's a question. How big a drop off should there be in person versus the picture? Now, here's what I'm Saying, so recently I went and looked at a house to buy, and the photographs were amazing. And it was staged wonderfully and it was just done in such a way. The view, the house, the home, it just looked magnificent. Right. And so I was like, well, this is going to get snatched up in a second. This is going to go above asking all the stuff that's going on. And then I went and saw the house and it was like, it's not really what I was meant. And the kitchen was a little banged up and it needed work, and nobody bought is the answer. And all the other houses were like, going for above ask. So I was speculating and I thought, I think they did a little too good a job with the picture and the furniture. Because you walk into the place and you go, drop off's too big. Yeah. Now everyone wants the best foot forward and you want to be the best version of you. And it's a home. I would say this for a realtor. Like, you want it to look good, but don't have people walk in and kind of go, oh, yeah, no, you.
Jody Miller
Want the right people walking in there.
Adam Carolla
Exactly right. So in terms of the picture on the site, I think there could be.
Jody Miller
A 30% drop off.
Adam Carolla
30?
Jody Miller
30? Yeah.
Warren Haynes
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
30 is a print that's sizable.
Jody Miller
Yeah. Cause it's like lighting and like your best.
Warren Haynes
It is all those. I mean, I'm sorry, guys. So many of you take the worst photos.
Jody Miller
I know. A lot of times it's. A lot of times it's a nice surprise. They're better, actually. They are better.
Warren Haynes
It's just some pictures are so awful and there are so many tell if you're sitting in every picture, you're short. You're not five, nine, you're five, six. Like, you know, I have to see you standing up against something. And if you have a hat on in every single picture, you're bald. Like we. So now we can like. And that's okay. And then I mentally prepare myself and if you actually do have hair, what a pleasant surprise.
Jody Miller
Yes.
Warren Haynes
But I guess 30%. I don't know then. Yeah, I mean, I guess that I feel like 30.
Adam Carolla
Stretching it really. 30 sounds decent. Over 25%.
Warren Haynes
They have to have. Yes. Their personality has to make.
Adam Carolla
Oh, you guys. A fracturing personality.
Jody Miller
Well, yeah, if it's cool. And then they. Yeah, right.
Adam Carolla
Yeah.
Jody Miller
Like, they can be.
Warren Haynes
And then that's actually worse when you do meet them in person and you know, pretty instantaneously that you're like, I'm not into this guy. But they are so awesome, like a cool person. But you're. And then you, like, try to convince yourself, well, like, maybe, like, how many drinks would it take for me? And then you have two, and you're still like, I'm not kissing this person then. But they're so cool. And you're just like, God, you're just so. I wish it was.
Adam Carolla
Well, I. I think there's a spec of flexibility sexually here. And what I'm hearing, girls, is that Ricky seems to have a little more leeway physically.
Jody Miller
Yes. Big time. Yeah.
Adam Carolla
Which is a blessing.
Jody Miller
Yes.
Adam Carolla
Listen, I know dudes who've got a lot of leeway, and I'm jealous of those guys because I would never. I would go, so imagine me, I'm driving a Isuzu Trooper. I'm living in an apartment with two dudes. I'm working construction making $11 an hour. But I need a model. You know what I mean? And it's like, right. So be prepared to have some real dry spells if that's where you're. If that's where you're at. And it was. That's where I was at. I was like, I need the hotties. And they're like, all right, well, you drive a Zuzu Trooper and you have two roommates, so be prepared.
Jody Miller
Well, I think there's two, like, ways to, like. There's some people who, like, will take, like, scraps in the meantime, and I'm one of those. Some people are like, I have high self esteem. I will not, like, lower my standards, and I totally will. Rather than being alone. As long as you, like, know it's scraps, it's fine, right? Like someone who's, like, not that nice to you. What I mean, scraps, I don't mean physically. I mean the people who are, like, texting.
Adam Carolla
You meant the dog?
Jody Miller
No, no, no, no, no. Like, people who, like, come here, boy. Yeah. People who are, like, inconsistent. They're not that nice. They're not that, like, they give you, like, last minute plans.
Warren Haynes
Last minute plans.
Jody Miller
I will take that if I have nothing else going on.
Adam Carolla
Right.
Jody Miller
Other people are like, no, it's my. I have high self esteem and I won't accept that treatment. And I'm like, oh, as long. But if I have anything better going on, I'll not do that.
Warren Haynes
I guess I don't do that. And I. To be honest with you, my standards aren't that high. They really aren't. The truth is, is that I know what it feels like to really be attracted to someone, whether I just met Them, or I've known them for years.
Jody Miller
They'Re walking in with sperm, or they're.
Warren Haynes
Walking with really attractive sperm. I know right away. But I'm like, if it's not come. If it doesn't just happen after a couple dates, and I'm not just going to count them out after one, I'm not gonna, like, make myself, you know, settle in a way I just can't. I would rather be alone. And that's okay, too. You know what I mean? I just know that it exists. I know that feeling exists. So now it's like, if it's not there after a couple dates and it's probably not gonna be there, then I'm not gonna.
Jody Miller
Yeah, I guess I'm talking about something else. I'm talking about, like, you're attracted to them, but they're not like, that nice and they're just dating a zillion people. They're treating you like you're disposable.
Warren Haynes
Well, then I usually just fuck those people for.
Jody Miller
That's what I'm saying. That's it. So, yeah, no, I'm not talking people you're not attracted to. I'm talking people who are, like, treating you like you're disposable. Yeah. Just for the meantime.
Warren Haynes
But, you know. But as long as, you know. As long as you know this person. Yeah. That's why I dated a lot of y'all.
Jody Miller
You can't ever change your plans for them. You have to, like, accordingly.
Warren Haynes
They literally will text you, like, an hour before, like, what's going on? Where have you been, stranger? Like, they act like, you know what I mean?
Jody Miller
I had a dream about you.
Warren Haynes
That's a real. That's a great one, too.
Adam Carolla
Well, where are you at now? So what do we. What do we bait? What are our parameters? What are we looking for? Jody? Certain age, certain profession? Income, Height?
Warren Haynes
I mean, I don't know, 40, 35, 40 to 60. Micah random. There. Financially stable, emotionally available. Definitely. And probably geographically available. Yeah. I mean, that's what I'm open to.
Adam Carolla
Okay.
Jody Miller
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
And what app you on?
Warren Haynes
Oh, God, all of them. Hinge, Bumblebee.
Adam Carolla
This is kind of a fun pastime, though, right?
Warren Haynes
It's fun when you're really bored. Yes, it is fun. And it gets a little exciting when you're like, oh, yeah. And then what happens is you're just texting back and forth, even if you're like, let's get together, like, cool. And then they'll immediately go right back to the app and be like, hey, gorgeous. Like, I. First of all, that's a big turn off.
Jody Miller
Yeah.
Warren Haynes
I've never met you. And they'll be like, morning, gorgeous. It really creeps me out. It's like, first of all, not gorgeous in the morning, so just settle down. But, like, also, like, it just. It feels weird and inauthentic.
Jody Miller
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. I feel like guys sort of make the same mistakes over and over again, historically. And I don't. I don't. They. Beautiful. I get it.
Warren Haynes
Hey, beautiful.
Adam Carolla
Yeah.
Warren Haynes
What'd you do?
Jody Miller
It worked, like, one time. And then.
Warren Haynes
Yeah.
Jody Miller
Like, I guess I do this for everyone.
Warren Haynes
Yeah. If we're together, then I'd love to hear that.
Jody Miller
It is interesting how dating apps have made, like, everyone get rejected all the time. Like, it's like, you know, actors get rejected all the time. Like, now everyone's everybody.
Warren Haynes
Yes, you're right.
Jody Miller
You just constantly. You have to just deal with this high level of, like. No, no, no. Like, people just swiping away from you, you know, Constantly. Yeah.
Adam Carolla
I never been on an app, so I didn't know, really. I never know how it worked.
Warren Haynes
We get it. Your sperm is really high.
Jody Miller
We get it.
Adam Carolla
That's what the technician said.
Jody Miller
I think most guys feel like they, like, who miss the apps. Feel like, oh, I'm really missing out. And I really, like, there's all this free sex everywhere. I'm like, that's not true.
Warren Haynes
It's not true.
Jody Miller
No. There's a lot of work. A lot of first dates. You have to take people on a lot of texts. A lot of.
Warren Haynes
Yeah, a lot of people do go on it, so they don't feel the in your face rejection. You know what I mean?
Adam Carolla
I don't. You know, I think the first date is sort of a question of how do you feel about yourself or how is your sort of resume.
Warren Haynes
Right.
Adam Carolla
So I actually sound pretty good on paper. You know, once you get to know me, it's a different kettle of fish. But, I mean, I have an interesting life, and I would look pretty good if I was just telling someone what happened. Well, I was this and then I was that, and then I did this and then I did that, you know, and here's the stuff I like to do. It sounds like, oh, that sounds attractive. So I guess the first one is sort of like, you know, it's funny, it stuck in my head. I remember where I was when I was getting divorced. Jimmy Kimmel found out about it, and he. And I was on a walk in my neighborhood, and I was, like, not feeling good, you know, about It. And he called me and he just did heard getting divorced and hey, buddy, call. And he just. Some point, he stopped and he goes, look at it this way. You're gonna meet somebody new. And they've heard none of your stories. I was like. I perked up. I was like, oh, yeah. I got all my high school football stories. I got the man show stories. I got a bunch of stories that this.
Warren Haynes
Then you're gonna meet that person's friends. They've never heard this story.
Adam Carolla
They've never heard the stars. It's gonna be epic. Yeah, it was so funny. When we're talking about sperm doning being a sperm donor, I was literally pitching these Netflix guys this bit, this episode of this animated show that I was in love with. And I never got to do it, but maybe I will. But I remember doing the sperm donor thing.
Warren Haynes
Is that how you. What is that?
Adam Carolla
That's my move. That's my move. Well, I rosin up first, so that's. Then I throw the rosin back in.
Warren Haynes
You're like a potato. You're just like when I did the sperm donor.
Adam Carolla
The sperm. Okay, so the sperm donor thing is interesting because the lab or whatever, the clinic was like 40 minutes from where I lived. And then they did the. It's longer than 20 minutes. Then you gotta produce a sample on site, right? And now here's the problem. The problem is what the doctors say, because here's what I've learned in life. If there's a ladder and the ladder says rate it up to £300, it'll hold £700. But for safety reasons, they have to say this. You know what I mean? And how many times it happened to you where you're doing some procedure in the morning and they go, no liquids or solids after midnight, right? And then, then six months later, doing another thing. But this is four in the afternoon and they go, no liquids or solids after midnight. And you go after midnight because 8:45 in the morning was after midnight. Now this is 4:00pm, right? Nothing after midnight. Okay, but they're just reading a piece of paper. They don't mean nothing after midnight. You could eat something at 5 in the morning, you'd be fine. So that's how I am in life. But women, women go, this is what? No, you know, no water, no whatever. Those are the rules. So I'm arguing with my wife. I'm going. I just. Look, I can do it. I'm a fast driver. You know what I mean?
Warren Haynes
You're supposed to keep it between your boob. Well, Your wife's boobs. But if you do, you're supposed to keep it against your body warm.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, listen, I can do it in the privacy and comfort of my own home. Like, no, you live more than 20 minutes away. So I had to go down there. And it's a weird, you know, it's an interesting procedure, but in the episode, the guy wants to. Who's a construction guy, is a shop teacher. Mr. Burcham. Okay, same thing. They're this far away. You gotta do it on site. He doesn't want to do it on site. He's not even been to this clinic or whatever. But at some point, his wife's like, we paid for it. It's go. You're doing it. Otherwise you're gonna be out five grand for nothing or whatever it is. And he's like, fine. And as he comes pulling into, like, the mini mall where the place is, he's like, ah, this old man Drucker's hardware store used to be in this place. And sure enough, that's where the clinic was. And it's like, when I was a kid, my dad would take me to this place and we'd. Some of the greatest memories I had was when my dad was alive. We would walk. I am not desecrating. And she's like, we're on the clock. You're on the clock right now. And he's like. And he's trying to peel one off, but he's picturing himself on his dad's shoulders and old man Drucker behind the counter. And he's like, ah, get it. Get out of my head.
Warren Haynes
Oh, you know what you could have done, though, if you lived 40 minutes away. And it had to be, if it's 20 minutes, you could have just driven 20 minutes, jerked off in your car and then driven the rest of the way.
Jody Miller
But what if you got caught? If he got. If Adam got caught jerking off in his car, no one would believe.
Warren Haynes
Just jerk off in the lot of the place. You know what I mean? I still feel like that's fine.
Jody Miller
Right? Although the next celebrity that gets caught jerking off in public, they should say, no, no, I'm on my way to donate sperm. Yeah, they should.
Adam Carolla
Wine. Seems like I was gonna take that ficus plant over to the clinic.
Jody Miller
Yes. Donating it to research.
Adam Carolla
Listen, I'm good, but I'm not so good that I could stand in a. In a parking lot at 2 in the afternoon.
Warren Haynes
You're in your car. Just pull the seat back. Come on.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, but I think you have To.
Warren Haynes
Well, then sit up and then cover the wheel. I mean, come on.
Jody Miller
I don't know.
Warren Haynes
Every guy's jerked off in the car at least once, right?
Jody Miller
Really?
Warren Haynes
I don't know. I just put it out there.
Adam Carolla
Yeah.
Warren Haynes
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
Okay.
Jody Miller
Is that a thing?
Warren Haynes
I don't know. I didn't know. But he just answered it. Yeah, every guy's jerking off in the car.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. Look, Fred's not going to level with you when you, when you. He's going to start looking down.
Warren Haynes
Question she's asking when she gets home.
Jody Miller
Yes. Question one, Will you be my boyfriend? Question two.
Warren Haynes
Did you jerk off in a car at any point?
Adam Carolla
I would say most guys have. Have jerked off in a car.
Warren Haynes
I've seen it. Have you ever been on the road and see it's.
Jody Miller
Seen it in a 711 parking lot. It was really gross.
Warren Haynes
I've seen it on the highway. On the highway. So he was smiling. It was me. We were like 17 year old girls and he was smiling at us and we were like, oh, my God. And he was just jerking.
Adam Carolla
You were his muse.
Warren Haynes
I mean. All right, okay, I'll take it.
Adam Carolla
So listen, if you want to know if your man has ever jerked off in a car, here's what you do. No, no, you just go back. When you see Fred, you go, oh, my God, so disgusting. I was on the road and I stopped at a red light and I looked over and there's some dude beating off in his car. And if Fred goes, well, we don't know what kind of day he was having. That means.
Jody Miller
Yeah, that means.
Adam Carolla
That means he's been. That's a compadre.
Jody Miller
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
If he joins you in disgust. What, what, did you get his license? You get the plate?
Warren Haynes
You can't word it like that, though. It can't be some gross guy on the road. It has to be like Adam was saying that he recently jerked off in his car.
Jody Miller
No, you gotta do that. The other thing, you gotta go, can I tell you something? I saw this guy jerking. At least turn me on and like, yes.
Adam Carolla
Oh, that'll get it out of there.
Jody Miller
Then he'll be like, I've done it, or whatever. Yeah, all right. Yeah, gross. Yeah, close. You've got female subterfuge. It's the opposite of the prank calls.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, yeah, but then in the car, in the lot, you know, it's a public place. It's daytime hours. Do I put one of those windshield screens up?
Warren Haynes
Just jerking off? It's just call the police side collecting samples. That's what you just put up there and then people know to leave you alone.
Adam Carolla
All right, let me say this, Jody, Skinny Jody Miller's got a very funny standup special called Decades in the making, which is out on YouTube. And I just found out my dry bar stand up specials out on YouTube.

During COVID It was a horrible time for commercial air travel. It depended where your flight crew was from. Like if you got a flight crew who was based in Houston, no problema. You get some six year old chick and she just go sit there, wear the mask, don't wear the mask. I'm gonna sit in this jumper seat and smoke. We're probably not gonna. But the worst seven words you could hear on a flight during COVID times was on behalf of your Seattle based flight crew. Watch.

Adam Carolla
All right, so Andrew's in the other room, right? Were you gonna do the news from in there? Yes, sir.
Jody Miller
Oh, that's a great title on my book. Boobs.
Warren Haynes
I love it. Just, just, just so people see your boobs.
Jody Miller
Yeah, I get it.
Warren Haynes
Fine.
Adam Carolla
All right, go ahead. What's our first story? Okay. Jojo Siwa realizes she's not a lesbian after cozing up to celebrity big brother UK co star Chris Hughes. Oh, oh, was, wait, wait a minute. Wait, wasn't what's his name on that?
Warren Haynes
Mickey Roy. And he left because he was insulting her.
Adam Carolla
Yes. But he was calling her a lesbian, right? Yeah.
Warren Haynes
Yes.
Adam Carolla
So may maybe that she was.
Warren Haynes
Is she. She's just done binary. What is she?
Jody Miller
Maybe she's bi.
Warren Haynes
Is she bi?
Jody Miller
I don't know.
Warren Haynes
I feel bad.
Jody Miller
I've not watched Celebrity Big Brother so I don't know, but it sounds like maybe.
Adam Carolla
No, she was lesbian and now.
Warren Haynes
Oh, now she knows she's not because she wants to have sex with this guy.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. Okay, that's the story.
Warren Haynes
Is she bi?
Jody Miller
Is she saying she's straight?
Adam Carolla
Yeah, well, no, I think she's saying she's bisexual.
Warren Haynes
Oh, well, look at that.
Jody Miller
Yeah, I mean, they are cozying up. That is real she. Yeah, that looks bad.
Warren Haynes
No car needed. He's jerking off right there.
Adam Carolla
That's right. That's his parking lot. He's parked this lot right between her. But I. I don't know. Women in the lesbian. The novelty has worn off for me. Used to be a big deal. It was a big deal. Like, you found out your girlfriend had a roommate once and spin the bottle. It was a big deal. Now it's like, all right, nobody cares. You're all just fucking each other. I don't even care.
Warren Haynes
I don't care anymore, by the way.
Adam Carolla
Everybody. Nothing neither.
Warren Haynes
No, I've never. I'm very straight.
Adam Carolla
Wow. I told you you had that dude wiring.
Warren Haynes
My ex boyfriend once told me it wasn't upset, but he's like, you are so straight. He wanted to do a threesome. He's like, you're just so straight. I'm like, okay.
Jody Miller
I don't know. What?
Warren Haynes
Like, guilty.
Jody Miller
Sorry.
Warren Haynes
Do you want a blow job now or not? Like, what are we talking about here?
Adam Carolla
Oh, you know, I thought you were asking me. I'd wait till after the show is what I was going to answer with, but I see that was the him, so. Look there. Look, I'm a meat and potatoes dude. You know what I mean? Like, whatever you're into. Like, I. I know guys. I like watching women crush cockroaches and stilettos out of Germany and stuff. And I'm like, just gimme some titties.
Jody Miller
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
Are they broken? Is it broken? Is the blowjet broken? Are titties broken? They're fine. We're good. And I'm just that way too. Just sort of. It never. I say meat and potatoes. Like, yeah, Steak and a martini and a baked potato. It's never out of style.
Jody Miller
Laugh.
Adam Carolla
I'm always good. I'm up for it. Let's do it. That's a good night out. Yeah, I. I don't know what. Where everyone needs the extra accoutrements in the bedroom.
Jody Miller
I think it's people who get exposed to porn too early.
Warren Haynes
Yes.
Adam Carolla
Oh, is that what's going on?
Jody Miller
Yeah, because they get bored. Like, they need more and more. Like, by the time they're 40, they're like, well, I've seen all that.
Warren Haynes
Every category you can imagine. And then some. That you're like, how is this a category? You know what I mean? It's just crazy.
Adam Carolla
But, you know, I'll tell you, the thing about the porn category is, is that's who you really are. Like, whatever it says, you know, if it says, you know, tons of fun MILF or whatever you thought you're going in the busty section. Oh, no, whatever label.
Warren Haynes
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
Mine would be hairy and unfunny.
Warren Haynes
And click.
Jody Miller
Yes.
Adam Carolla
All right, so she's. I don't care what she is. So she's. I'm not a. I'm done with her. She was a child star. She sold rainbow Go, you know, suspenders or pose or something, and now she's doing something. I. I don't care. There's too many. First off, too many celebrities.
Warren Haynes
Oh, yeah, it's a lot. Everybody's a celebrity and no one's a celebrity.
Adam Carolla
Right, Right.
Jody Miller
It's.
Warren Haynes
It's crazy. Nobody knows a whole bunch of people that I know. They're like, who? And then people would be like, you don't know this person. I'm like, no, who?
Adam Carolla
It's.
Warren Haynes
It's just too many.
Adam Carolla
We had. When I was growing up and I'm older than you guys, we had like the cast of the Love Boat.
Warren Haynes
Yes.
Adam Carolla
And then the cast of Chip.
Ricky Lindholm
Right.
Adam Carolla
And it's like, that's who our celebrities were. And then we had room for like three game show hosts that you could sprinkle in. Oh, yeah. We had movie stars. We had movie stars. And that was that. Yeah, that was it. Now it's. You don't know. You don't know. Three chains. I'm not into rap. Oh, this guy just. Just stole that. The Burning Man.
Warren Haynes
But they're also like tick tockers. People will be like, you don't know this tucked. I'm like, no, why would I know any? I don't. Neither do I.
Jody Miller
Not.
Adam Carolla
All right, so we're not influenced. What else we got? Another story. The office star Rainn Wilson rips left leaning media during interview with msnbc host claims Biden coverage fosters mistrust. This got a lot. This made the rounds. But I don't, I don't really know why, but we can, we can watch a clip of it. This is where I would push back and, you know, and in a lot of ways, I'm as lefty as they come. But when I see this kind of insight and passion being direct, directed at the current administration and the lack of this kind of insight and passion being directed at the previous administration where again, I'm not talking about you. I'm talking about left leaning news media organizations were kind of like, la, la, la, la, la. Everything's fine. Look, the environment's. I mean, look, the Economy's great. La la, la. Immigration's not that much of a problem. And really being Cleopatra, Queen of denial. Thank you. Boom. Well, I got a controversial question for you ladies, which is, now let's think about this. I'm gonna try to be magnanimous or something, okay? But the deal is this. All the folks at MSNBC are Democrats and all the folks at NPR are Democrats, okay? And look, historically, things had to be that way. You were this or you were that. Like, you'd be, Tommy Lasorda was a Democrat or a Republican or whatever Tommy Lasorda was. We didn't base who's starting in today's game on where their affiliation was. He just was quietly. And then he'd go about his business or Johnny Carson was, but we never knew about what that thing is, okay? And so historically, the news people would probably be more Democratic leaning, and they probably weren't big fans of the Nixon administration, Watergate, Vietnam, things of that nature. It's because it's college, it's journalism school. It's not a job site. They didn't play a lot of. They didn't wrestle in high school and play football in the military and stuff. It's like college, academia, whatever, and it's journalism school. So it sort of attracts people that are left leaning. But Walter Cronkite knew he couldn't get out, or Ted Koppel or whoever. They knew they couldn't push an agenda because that wouldn't work for their audience because they're supposed to be calling balls and strikes and just doing the news, okay? And it used to be a completely male dominated sport, and then women started coming in and much more women and larger MSNBC and stuff like that, or Rachel Maddow or something like that. I don't think women are as good at keeping it under their hat in terms of what they're feeling. You can't take a woman who despises Donald Trump and expect her just to just. I'm just gonna go right down the middle on this story. No, you're gonna get more feeling, more flavor and more. And then eventually we'll know something because you're out there. So is it.
Jody Miller
I sort of.
Adam Carolla
Is it an influx of femininity? I'm not really saying it's a bad thing. I'm just saying women let you know more what they're thinking about or what they're feeling than the guy. Just be. I'm putting my tie on. Maybe the tie keeps.
Jody Miller
Also, like, what was Barbara Walters? We don't know who, what Was Jane Polly's leaning? What was Connie Chung like? It was the time. We don't know what Deborah Norville thinks. The women. When it wasn't.
Adam Carolla
Okay, I do actually know what she's saying. You do, but just Norville.
Jody Miller
Yeah, just Norville.
Adam Carolla
No, you're.
Jody Miller
But I think it's just the time.
Adam Carolla
There was a time. Right. And I agree. We didn't know there was a. Yeah, there was a time when there were no dogs on a plane. And now there are. So that is true. But to change the time, you need more of something as well. And there's more. More newsroom directors are females, more producers are females, more anchors are females. And I just think as time goes on and as it becomes open more to femininity, there is just gonna be. We're gonna get more of how. We're gonna know what they think. Whether you agree. Agree with it or not.
Jody Miller
I just don't think it's a female thing. I think it's a ratings thing. I think Fox came along, they were smart enough to like, really have their right leaning opinions. And then the left had to go, well, then that's the ratings. And so the left started saying their opinions. And then it just doubled and doubled and doubled.
Warren Haynes
It's all about ratings.
Jody Miller
It's all about ratings.
Warren Haynes
I think it is the time.
Adam Carolla
I'm not saying I don't blame females.
Warren Haynes
I'm saying you sound like you're blaming females.
Adam Carolla
I'm saying I've seen, let's say, Joy Reid, like, really come unglued, you know what I mean? Because she seems like. I don't think she could tamp it down is what I'm saying.
Warren Haynes
That's what gets ratings and that's what that clip goes viral. That everybody's talking about it. We're talking about. You know what I mean?
Jody Miller
And that's.
Adam Carolla
I don't know. But she's gone now because she didn't get ratings.
Warren Haynes
Well, I mean, it. I think it happens.
Adam Carolla
Like, hold on. Used to. Yeah, but still. Yeah, yeah, but still. When are you looking at Dawson?
Warren Haynes
Well, no, I mean, here's the thing. I think I actually miss the days that everybody would just be neutral and just report what's going on and not have opinions. Men and women, you know what I mean? Because it is so heated and so polarized. And then you do get people that really, like, like lose their shit and you hear about it and then everybody wants to watch it and then somebody else loses their shit on that. And then the person who isn't losing Their shit. They're the hero. It's just. It's like. It's just a show. It's like a big fan of the show.
Jody Miller
It's like entertainment.
Warren Haynes
It's entertainment.
Jody Miller
And I think the women, if. If that didn't get the ratings, they would keep their emotions in check, I think, because they used to.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, I will. I'll. I'll beat you halfway, I think. I think if you do an endeavor, whatever the endeavor is, if it's design and it's just male dominated, then things are gonna have a male feel to the design. And if you. Influx women, that's true, then you're gonna start to feel better, which is not a bad thing, per se. I'm just saying it'll change the way it is.
Warren Haynes
Of course. And I think they were given permission, as the years went on to emote a little bit more or come across as a little bit more emotional and connect with people. I think if you look back, yeah, Even in the 80s, everybody was just like, reading. No emotion, no inflection for the most part, unless something tragic happened that everybody was, you know, but they kept it. They just kept. You know what I mean? They just did it very much.
Adam Carolla
I got an example of emoting, by the way. I made a note. I saw Pastor Jamal Bryant, and I just saw this on Twitter, their ex, the other day. I think we have it somewhere. But you want to talk about emoting, and I'm going to ruin my own point because it's a dude, but here it is. This is pretty funny. Those of y'all who are from the suburbs, those of y'all that come from a gated community, those of you who live out yonder, you ain't gonna understand this example, but when I used to live with my grandmother in the projects of New York, y'all ain't saying nothing. I discovered something that roaches only start running when you turn the lights on. As long as the lights are out, they gonna be comfortable eating your cereal. Y'all ain't saying nothing. Climbing. I'm not gay, but I kind of would take a blow job from this guy.
Warren Haynes
I mean, he could do it, but.
Adam Carolla
The roaches gotta stop moving. I came to give on Grow.
Jody Miller
Yes.
Adam Carolla
The light is getting ready. Donald Trump. The light is getting ready to come on. J.D.
Ryan Reynolds
Vance.
Adam Carolla
The light is getting ready to come on. Maga. The light is getting ready to come on. Welcome. Because the roaches will check in, but they won't check out. The lights are coming on, right?
Jody Miller
Yeah. Don't you think the male Anchors are more emotional. I think of, like, Bill O'Reilly. I think of these people, like, losing.
Warren Haynes
Like, I think everybody has become more emotional.
Jody Miller
Tucker Carlson, so emotional.
Warren Haynes
Yeah. They really. Because. Yeah. People will tune in.
Adam Carolla
Well, we have to. Have to make a distinction between, I mean, news anchors and opinion people like Tucker Carlson would go, I'm an opinion person. So would Bill O'Reilly, but so would Bill Maher. I'm not an anchor person. I'm an opinion person. I like this guy's passion and suits. And he quoted a commercial from the 70s.
Warren Haynes
Yeah. The roaches check in, but they don't check out.
Adam Carolla
Right.
Jody Miller
The ex husband of Gisele Bryant from Real Housewives of Potomac. Because she was married to a pastor. Pastor. Is it Pastor Bryant? Is it the same guy? Maybe.

Jody Miller
Amazing. Oh, nice.
Adam Carolla
Are they divorced now?
Jody Miller
Yeah.
Warren Haynes
Yeah. Did you hear that? That. Yeah. Well, the roaches check in because he was quoting too many commercials.
Adam Carolla
I just want a black audience. Just once I could just get up there and scream about everything. Really what I want is the guys just stand behind me with the bow ties, nodding yes the whole time.
Jody Miller
You can have that. Your next special.
Warren Haynes
Yes.
Adam Carolla
Just. I want Adam Goes to Church. I love it when they nodded. And they do, like. They do a version. I want the Jap. The Japanese do hi.
Warren Haynes
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
I love a high. You know what I mean? And they do a black version of the high. But it's, you know, been to the mountain or something, and then they just nod. But I want that. I just feel like I never have that.
Warren Haynes
I look at that for you.
Adam Carolla
Everyone around me's got their arms crossed and they go, I don't know. But I don't feel like. I feel like you're wrong when it comes to I never. I just want some head knives.
Jody Miller
You gotta play comedy songs, then you'll get it.
Warren Haynes
Yes.
Jody Miller
Oh, yeah. People are just like, laugh. Like, it's so. It's musical theater nerds who are drunk. It's the best.
Adam Carolla
What's the. All right.
Jody Miller
It's like band nerds.
Adam Carolla
With no.
Jody Miller
Who are always having the most sex. Now they're drunken at your show.
Adam Carolla
With no. All right, I'm gonna pull off the table. Weird Al. What is the best comedy novelty song?
Jody Miller
Best song. Oh, with not Weird Al, I'm pulled.
Adam Carolla
Weird Al.
Jody Miller
I love Fucker Gently by Tenacious D. I love. What's the one? Part Time Model by Flight of the Concords. I love Lonely. I love Lonely Boys. What's the stick in a box? Lonely Island.
Adam Carolla
Oh, yeah.
Jody Miller
Oh, wait, you know what is the best one? Thank you God by Tim Minchin. That's the best comedy song.
Adam Carolla
Oh, yeah.
Jody Miller
That's such a good. Yeah.
Warren Haynes
All right.
Jody Miller
And Bo Burnham has so many good ones.
Warren Haynes
Bo does? Yeah.
Jody Miller
Yeah. But, yeah, I would say, if I had to pick one, I would say thank you God by Tim Minchin.
Adam Carolla
Oh, really? All right, now I gotta write that one down.
Jody Miller
He's a big Australian musical comedian.
Adam Carolla
You know what's weird? Then there's pop. Like, the Barenaked Ladies have, like, alternative girlfriend and stuff where they have sort of novel songs, but they're a pop group. That's not. Not, you know, Dr. Demento.
Jody Miller
Yeah, they were my favorite band.
Adam Carolla
I love. I love them.
Ricky Lindholm
Yeah, the Dead Milkman got a lot of that too. Like, I think the funniest song is Nutrition, but it's a punk rock song, you know?
Adam Carolla
Oh, really?
Ricky Lindholm
I give a. About the stuff I eat.
Adam Carolla
I never heard that one. I like a funny song.
Warren Haynes
Yeah. You know, damn Bad.
Jody Miller
Mostly covers. Right. So it's hard to.
Warren Haynes
Right.
Jody Miller
But it is funny.
Warren Haynes
But they're so funny.
Jody Miller
God, it's such a good idea. What's your favorite comedy song?
Adam Carolla
I guess so. Dr. Demento had a song called Transfusion that was like, from the 50s that was really funny about a guy who just drove a car and he got into an accident. Every time he got into his car. But every time he got in the car, he was super confident and he was, like, talking about how he was hauling ass and get out of his way and he's making time and then we get into an accident accent. And I don't know why I thought it was funny, but it was. It wasn't a parody of anything. It's just its own weird. Own weird song. But I. I like a funny song. Do you know. You know Harlan Williams? You know his cousins in Bare Naked Ladies? He goes.
Warren Haynes
It is.
Jody Miller
He is successful family.
Warren Haynes
Seriously.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. Harlan. Harlan's Canadian. Bare Naked Ladies. Canadian. His cousin is in the Baronetcap Ladies.
Warren Haynes
Look at that.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. Saw him. Yeah. Nervous Norvis. Wrote Transfusion Nervous. Nervous. It's a weird song, but listen to it on your own time. One more news story. Do you have another news story in there? Jay Leno stands by marriage vows as he faces challenges of caring for wife suffering from dementia. Oh, yeah.
Warren Haynes
Uplifting.
Adam Carolla
Yeah.
Jody Miller
Well, that's nice that he's. I mean. I mean, what's he supposed to do is good? That's what. That's a husband.
Adam Carolla
Well, there are other things. Sickness and in health, things other Hollywood guys do. Jay's a good dude.
Warren Haynes
He's a good guy.
Adam Carolla
I saw them and her doing a show I did with him nine months ago or something. I mean, she's not. She's in decline. And that's gonna be, you know, a job for him. Because once it starts happening, it usually goes pretty. Unless you want to run the United States, in which case we can milk it for just a little bit, you know? But if you're just a housewife, it goes pretty fast, you know, and they have no kids and Jason's a strange bird and that. He's a real good dude and a regular dude, but not a regular dude in a lot of ways. Right. He has a dichotomy of sorts of. You know, most standup comedians are, like, douchey or standoffish or whatever. They don't even. He wrenches on cars all day.
Warren Haynes
Wait, they never had kids?
Adam Carolla
Never had kids. And literally, I've said to him, with his 175 cars and the value at, you know, $500 million, I just want went, where's it all going? And he just goes, I don't care. I'll be gone. And I go, yeah, I know you'll be gone, but you want the state just using it or whatever. It's like, he may be being a little modest about. I don't know. But, I mean, I bet he'll have.
Jody Miller
Like, the Jay Leno auditorium. I bet he'll put his name on something.
Warren Haynes
Yeah, they should have.
Jody Miller
They should take a cancer wing thing. Yeah.
Warren Haynes
Put the cars in the cancer wing. Yeah.
Jody Miller
Obviously.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. It's incredible. He had a brother who died pretty young. I don't think he has. That's a good question. I don't think he has any heirs.
Warren Haynes
Wow. And she doesn't have, like. I mean, her family is.
Jody Miller
I do not know if she has siblings or something. There might be somewhere to put it. I'm sure there is.
Adam Carolla
I don't know what her side is. His side is. He had a brother, maybe two brothers now. I gotta look it up. He Had a brother that died youngish, I think, and maybe another. He had a brother that died from cancer, 2002. I don't think he has anyone else. Parents are gone and that kind of stuff. And I don't know what her. He has no children. They have no children. And I don't know what her situation is.
Warren Haynes
I'm just wondering.
Jody Miller
He should just give it to one person and they'll be so surprised. Yeah, like, he should, like, just pick a person. You just get this check. You're like, oh.
Warren Haynes
You're just like, okay. Thank you.
Jody Miller
He gave me my first late night spot, but it was on when he had the Jay Leno Show. It was like, at 10pm do you remember that? Or 9pm Remember that one?
Adam Carolla
I used to do that all the time. Yeah, yeah. How was that?
Jody Miller
It was good. It was our first thing. It was like. It was fun.
Adam Carolla
Did you sing?
Jody Miller
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
How do you. Well, he didn't find you. Somebody found you, and then they presented you to him.
Jody Miller
He did say that he found us. And the thing. He goes, I've been looking through comedy in the comedy clubs. I saw these people. He did say that. The intro. We're like, oh, well, okay, sure. Yeah. But he was very nice. We had a blast. And he was really nice.
Adam Carolla
Mavis has no family members.
Warren Haynes
Oh, my God.
Adam Carolla
And he has no family members.
Warren Haynes
So that's just it.
Adam Carolla
And there's seven warehouses filled with cars. And by the way, let me tell you something. Forget the cars. What about the warehouses? Because there's.
Warren Haynes
I mean.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, there's 65 million bucks worth of warehouses.
Jody Miller
Oh, my gosh. I know what he's gonna do. Look, he's gonna leave it to dementia research probably. Don't you think? Not to be a downer, but I think he will.
Adam Carolla
I don't. You know, he is a kind of cop and fireman guy.
Warren Haynes
Oh, all right.
Jody Miller
So I think there's maybe more that.
Warren Haynes
I mean, he's got a lot. It's a lot of money. So you can split it up.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I go over there. I poke around every once in a while.
Warren Haynes
You know, I should just, like, give him my name and number. I mean, just like, in case he wants to throw a little my way.
Jody Miller
Yeah, yeah.
Warren Haynes
I'll research dementia.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, he'll be on the app at some point.
Jody Miller
Yeah, yeah. Tell me everything.
Warren Haynes
Tell me about it.
Adam Carolla
If she didn't want to have children.
Warren Haynes
Wow.
Adam Carolla
Takes full credit for not having kids.
Warren Haynes
She takes the full credit. All right.
Adam Carolla
And look at you guys. She don't want to have kids. Throwing yourselves into kids. Long run. No cool cars to leave him.
Jody Miller
Nope. No.
Warren Haynes
But I have a Bronco.
Adam Carolla
It's cute you got acoustic guitar, but really build a dream on that.
Jody Miller
Yeah. Yeah. Have to be someone else.
Adam Carolla
Well, he's a good dude. And he's. He brought her to the last. Last comedy show I did with him. He. He brought her. He's never done that before. I've never seen him bring her. I've done a lot of stuff. As a matter of fact, I. I've been to a shop 2000 times. I've never seen her at the shop. I've seen him a thousand times. I've never seen her. But about nine months ago, when we're doing a show, he brought her. So I think he's kind of saying, you want to see me one last time up on stage?
Jody Miller
Yeah. Because probably in the middle, she got sick of it. Like seeing the same thing over and over.
Warren Haynes
Yeah, of course. And then now she wants to see it again before she remembers it. But it'll be brand new every time.
Jody Miller
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
All right. On that depressing note, listen to Ricky Lindholm's record. That's right. No worries. If not out as we speak, wherever you find finer music.
Warren Haynes
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
And then Jody Miller, decades in the making. That's on YouTube. And my special Adam Coral Comes Clean is on YouTube as well. And until next time, it's time for Ricky and Jody. Thank you for having me and everyone say it. Mahala.

Adam Carolla Show – Episode Summary: Rainn Wilson Calls Out The Media + Comedians Jodi Miller & Riki Lindhome + Warren Haynes
Release Date: April 28, 2025
In this episode of The Adam Carolla Show, host Adam Carolla welcomes a stellar lineup of guests: Warren Haynes from the Allman Brothers Band and Government Mule, alongside comedians Jodi Miller and Ricky Lindholm. The conversation spans a diverse range of topics, from the intricacies of the music industry to personal anecdotes in comedy and relationships, culminating in a critical discussion on media bias.
Exploring the Allman Brothers Legacy
Warren Haynes delves into his journey with the Allman Brothers, highlighting the band's exceptional musicianship and the legacy they've built over the decades.
Musical Influences & Early Career:
“My first big break was with Dickey Betts when the Allman Brothers were broken up in the '80s. I befriended Dickey and Greg Allman, which eventually led to joining the Allman Brothers for their 20th anniversary reunion tour.” [03:04]
Musicianship vs. Popularity:
“There's good music and there's bad music. It's not subjective; it's similar to car design or architecture. The Allman Brothers set a high bar with their blend of soul, rock, country, jazz, and blues.” [05:57]
Sitting in with Legends
Haynes shares memorable experiences of sitting in with iconic artists, emphasizing the spontaneous and sometimes unrehearsed nature of these collaborations.
Prank Calls & Comedy Songs
Jodi Miller and Ricky Lindholm share their humorous takes on classic prank calls and the creation of funny songs, drawing parallels to their personal experiences and the evolution of comedy.
Jodi on Crank Calls:
“Women do subterfuge subtly over months, rather than outright mischief like guys. It wasn’t as mischievous, but just different in approach.” [34:15]
Creating Comedy Music:
“Funny songs remind me of childhood creativity. Making up stupid words and scenarios always brought joy, and it's something I continue to love doing.” [32:34]
The conversation takes a personal turn as the guests discuss the complexities of modern relationships, the challenges of dating in the digital age, and the emotional journey of surrogacy and sperm donation.
Adam on Sperm Donation Humor:
“I did a competition with Jimmy at a sperm clinic for a ‘man show’ bit. We discovered my sperm were better looking, but Ricky’s were more mobile.” [52:11]
Jodi's Journey with Surrogacy:
“I struggled with infertility, tried adoption, and eventually had a baby through surrogacy. It's been a challenging yet rewarding journey, filled with unexpected friendships and support.” [55:20]
Warren on Dating Apps and Parenthood:
“I'm open to meeting someone financially stable and emotionally available. Dating apps can be fun when you're bored, but they often lead to inauthentic connections.” [80:06]
A significant portion of the episode is dedicated to discussing Rainn Wilson's critique of left-leaning media. The guests analyze the portrayal of media bias, gender dynamics in journalism, and the increasing emotional expression in news broadcasting.
Rainn Wilson's Critique:
“Left-leaning media coverage fosters mistrust. There's a lack of genuine insight and passion compared to previous administrations.” [96:00]
Adam's Take on Gender in Media:
“Women in media are more expressive and let their emotions show, which can lead to more authentic but biased reporting. Historically, news anchors maintained neutrality, but times have changed.” [104:27]
Warren on Emotional Expression:
“Everyone has become more emotional. The polarization is intense, and it’s harder to maintain neutrality in reporting.” [105:03]
Towards the end of the episode, the guests promote their latest comedy projects.
Jodi Miller's Stand-Up Special:
“My stand-up special, 'Decades in the Making,' is available on YouTube. It's a humorous take on personal and professional life experiences.” [37:50]
Adam Carolla's Special:
“My comedy album, 'Adam Corolla Comes Clean,' is now available on all major platforms. Check it out if you enjoy a blend of humor and candid stories.” [37:47]
The episode wraps up with light-hearted banter and final thoughts on the discussed topics, leaving listeners with a mix of insightful commentary and comedic relief.
Notable Quotes:
“There is such a thing as good music and good musicians, and it's better. And it's not just my opinion; there's a good and there's a bad.” — Adam Carolla [05:57]
“Being in the Allman Brothers set a high bar with our blend of soul, rock, country, jazz, and blues.” — Warren Haynes [05:57]
“Jazz is filet mignon. Most people would rather eat at McDonald's.” — Ryan Reynolds [06:28]
“Everyone knows everything now. It's all about entertainment and ratings.” — Jodi Miller [104:40]
“Everyone has become more emotional. The polarization is intense, and it’s harder to maintain neutrality in reporting.” — Warren Haynes [105:03]
