    • "The joke was... Kevin came onto the scene after Michael Jackson dangled him over that balcony..."

---

State of LA Politics & Satire: The Spencer Pratt Ad (99:44+)

• Satirical Ad Commentary
  • The show plays and mocks an "attack" ad against Republican Spencer Pratt for LA mayor, pointing out how its intended attacks—opposing spending on homeless housing, supporting more cops—actually sound appealing ([99:44]).

    • On "unhoused neighbors":
      • "If you have to clean everything up and sanitize everything and use euphemisms to describe things, that means you're hiding something..." [101:35]

[Randy Couture]

I woke up to this blinding light and I was transported to another place. Pluto tv.

[Adam Carolla]

This episode of the Adam Corolla show is brought to you by Simply Safe. From Corolla One Studios in Glendale, California. This is the Adam Carolla Show. Adam's guest today, mixed martial arts legend Randy Couture. Plus the news with Alicia Crouse. And now Adam Carolla. Yeah, get it on Got to get it on no choice but to get on mandate get it on. And welcome back to the show. Randy Couture, six, six time MMA world champion, UFC hall of Famer. Guy's been in many, many great battles over the years. And also an actor now and has been for a while. I mean, I don't know. Before the Expendables probably.

[Randy Couture]

Yeah, started early. 030203 Trailer to the grave. Yeah, Jet Li, DMX, they called. The UFC wanted some authentic cage fighters for seen in that movie. And me, Chuck and Tito all got that call.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, really?

[Randy Couture]

Yeah, that was when they wouldn't fight each other in the real world and they actually fought each other in that movie, which is pretty funny.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, Chuck and Tito wouldn't fight yeah,

[Randy Couture]

back that was, you know, early 2000s. Tito was the champ. Chuck was the number one contender. He wanted his shot. But there was a rumor out there that they were friends and had some agreement that they'd never fight each other. And Chuck says that's not true. I want my shot. I've earned my shot and we need to fight. And Tito's like, no, I'm not fighting him. That's kind of when I came off two losses in the heavyweight division and then figured I was coming to the end of the career. And they gave me the option to come down and fight at 205 against Chuck for the interim title because that fight wasn't going to happen. So they were in the process of stripping Tito and asked me if I'd fight Chuck for the interim light heavyweight championship. That was my first time down at 205 and I think they expected me to lose that. I lost two in a row in the heavyweight division.

[Adam Carolla]

Who'd you lose to in the heavyweight division?

[Randy Couture]

I lost first to Josh Barnett and Enrico Rodriguez. Josh was the first one to pop positive for ped.

[Adam Carolla]

Uh huh.

[Randy Couture]

When they first started.

[Adam Carolla]

That's why.

[Randy Couture]

And then they wanted to fill the vacant title. So me and Rico fought each other and I sustained the fracture to the orbit.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, no. Eye socket.

[Randy Couture]

Yeah. Probably the worst injury I sustained when I was fighting.

[Adam Carolla]

Do you hear that kind of injury when it happens?

[Randy Couture]

It was more of a visual, just a flash, and I knew something serious was wrong. And I verbally tapped and it was in the fifth round at the end of the fight. I had to wait a couple days to even fly. They wouldn't let me.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, because of the pressure in the eye.

[Randy Couture]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

But you took care of Chuck Liddell.

[Randy Couture]

Yeah, I won that fight. I think it was one more instance where they didn't expect me to win. And I somehow managed to come out on top. And instead of kind of going away and maybe retiring, my career took off again at the light heavyweight division.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, as a guy who used to be a boxing coach myself, I understand technique and stuff like that. Now. Tito Ortiz, God love him, because I like Tito Ortiz, almost seems like the last guy of the old school. Like not the skill set that guys have now. The skill set that guys have now is unbelievable. And I'll liken it to women's. The women's UFC was a far cry off of the men back in the day. From a skill standpoint, from like a sort of technical standpoint. Like, you'd see women, they weren't using their hands like they should have.

[Randy Couture]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

And in a way, they were all

[Randy Couture]

hands, all kickboxing, and had no ground skills.

[Adam Carolla]

Right. They just weren't up to the level. Now, you see women, they're right up to the level. And Tito was like a big strong guy and a great champion, but his skill level wasn't what you see. Now, Chuck Liddell, we had one of those things in my old studio where you pop it, measure, the punch goes up.

[Randy Couture]

He had that unique.

[Adam Carolla]

And I may had the record for a while, but when Chuck hit that thing, I was like, oh, this guy's got heavy hands.

[Randy Couture]

Now, people, have you had Francis in here yet?

[Adam Carolla]

I would like to see him hit that thing.

[Randy Couture]

Probably short.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, Francis is huge. Yeah.

[Randy Couture]

Massive guy.

[Adam Carolla]

Chuck just had big time pop in those hands. And that's not a training thing. That's a. Yeah, it's a kind of a God given thing. It's sort of. Sort of like foot speed. Like, you train all you want, you ain't running a 4, 4 40.

[Randy Couture]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

So I would be scared with Chuck because he had that ability.

[Randy Couture]

Yeah, in some ways. Similar backgrounds. I mean, both had wrestling pedigrees, you know, Cal Poly for Chuck Liddell and Bakersfield for Tito. They used their wrestling. Tito used his wrestling in his fighting styles in an offensive way. He's gonna try and take you down, put you on your back, float over you, elbow you. That's who he won 96% of his fights. Chuck used his wrestling defensively, sprawled and brawled and tried to make you stand with him because he had those amazing long levers and that timing to catch you right on the end of that punch.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah.

[Randy Couture]

And he did it time and time again. And that's absolutely who I had to make friends with. The first time I fought him, like, well, this guy may knock me out, but I'm gonna step in the pocket and hit him first. And that worked. It threw him off balance. If you watch the way we fought the second and third time, he changed his style. He got on his bike a lot more, made me chase him a lot more. He had a much more mobile style, which was interesting.

[Adam Carolla]

You and Brock Lesnar, that was crazy.

[Randy Couture]

What a huge guy.

[Adam Carolla]

I mean, and a guy that can

[Randy Couture]

actually move at that size at 290lbs and move the way he moves.

[Adam Carolla]

Because what do you walk around at

[Randy Couture]

now at about 207.

[Adam Carolla]

Right.

[Randy Couture]

You know, almost. Almost a fighting weight for 205. Obviously, I don't train the way I used to train when I was competing. Five, six days a week.

[Adam Carolla]

But what was Lesnar, when you got in the ring with him 290, was he that much?

[Randy Couture]

I think so. They didn't have a 265 cut to make the 265. But everybody snaps back, right? So he was cutting from 290.

[Adam Carolla]

He dried himself out to get to 265.

[Randy Couture]

Yeah, exactly.

[Adam Carolla]

Jesus. So you gotta cut to get to 260.

[Randy Couture]

Lets a lot of the heavyweights now are cutting some weight.

[Adam Carolla]

He is though. He's not six' six or anything, is he?

[Randy Couture]

Six' three?

[Adam Carolla]

I think six' three is not so tall. That the idea that you got a

[Randy Couture]

cut, that's the disguise, right? There's this huge thick guy, no neck, and you don't realize his reach is that long. He's got thinking 96 inch. I think as long as Jon Jones is.

[Adam Carolla]

Really?

[Randy Couture]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

Which is surprising.

[Randy Couture]

You see this thick guy and that hand just keeps coming, which is what was my undoing in that fight.

[Adam Carolla]

What did you weigh for that fight?

[Randy Couture]

About 222.

[Adam Carolla]

Uh huh. So Randy Pitfall is the name of the film. They sent me a link and they said you should watch it. And I dutifully sat down to watch it last night and the link was only for the trailer, which is a very good trailer and it's exciting. But I did not watch the whole movie because I only got the link to the trailer.

[Randy Couture]

Yeah, I was excited about this one shot this two years ago or going on two years ago up in Vancouver. And it was so weird being in Vancouver because I grew up in Seattle.

[Adam Carolla]

Right.

[Randy Couture]

And I felt like I was home. The woods, just the smell of everything, the moisture. So I had a great time. Very ambitious. We shot this film in 20 days.

[Adam Carolla]

20 days. I'm here to tell you that's a fast shoot.

[Randy Couture]

Old school effects, very visual, but it gives a little backstory about why this guy's running around the woods killing people. They don't usually do that in horror films. Why was Freddy the way he was? Or you know,

[Adam Carolla]

I'm imagining a tough childhood, but they never explored it.

[Randy Couture]

Where this kind of gives some flashbacks and that gives you the kind of the story some heart and soul. You understand why this guy might be a little batshit crazy.

[Adam Carolla]

I happen to enjoy when they make the heavy or the bad guy human. I don't like movies where the guy's a bad guy and they show him walk into the apartment, his cat comes up and he kicks his own cat. I'm like, bad guys love their own cats. Yeah, bad guys love their kids. And they love. They love barbecue, too. Like, they're not just mean and bad all the time, but there's a reason they are. And I like. And by the way, those guys are scarier to me somehow when they make them a little human and there's a little method to their madness.

[Randy Couture]

Yeah. You find some empathy for the character in some way, even though he's doing horrendous things, you kind of understand in some way.

[Adam Carolla]

Was acting always something you thought about and then how much of the UFC is not acting, but scratching the same itch a little bit? Like being in front of people, having people look at you. I mean, first off, being a public person, for sure. Entering the octagon, just the fact that you're barefoot and shirtless is sort of a thing, you know what I mean? Because you can host the Oscars in a tuxedo, but that ain't barefoot and shirtless, you know, this is, like, really visceral. And the Oscars, the audience is in front of you, and you're wearing a tailored suit. This is. They're surrounding you, and you're coming down into the middle of this cage, and you're half naked, and the crowd's going nuts, and that's got to take whatever the rush is. Like, people, oh, you do a standup set. Yeah, that's exciting. But that's not this. You know what I mean?

[Randy Couture]

It does set the bar pretty high for being nervous about too much. Everybody's like, oh, man, do you get nervous, you know, for these scenes, being in front of the camera, I'm like, nobody's punching me in the face. I'm pretty sure I'm going to be fine. You get.

[Adam Carolla]

You get mulligans. I mean, you get to take. See any. If somebody said to me, look, are you nervous about this? I go, look, anything. You get to try again. If you fuck it up the first time, I'm not going to be that nervous about it. It doesn't matter what could be sex if I get to. If I get another, but then, fine, the nervous part is the one and done. Like, that's the part.

[Randy Couture]

It takes one mistake in an MMA fight, and you have to make friends with the worst case scenario. And that frees you up to go out then and do exactly what you're trained to do. I never saw myself getting into acting again. Through that phone call, through the ufc, me, Chuck, and Tito got this opportunity to be in Cradle to the Grave. First time on a set, it's like going to Oz and pulling the curtain back and Seeing the guy pulling the levers and making all the smoke and fire, it's intriguing. It's an interesting process. I mean, we had that one little five minute scene in that movie. It was underground cage fighting. I had one line of movie, let's go chicken shit to Jet Li. And it was seven days, 12, 14 hour days, just to get that one little five minute scene that was with Martin the midget. We swung him around and he beat up everybody. It was this crazy scene. I had a fight with Jet Li in that, you know, and that was my one line, let's go chicken shit.

[Adam Carolla]

Right?

[Randy Couture]

You know, supposed to think in the movie he didn't want to fight anybody. And so he kept his hand in his pocket and he just dodged everything.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, really?

[Randy Couture]

I'm supposed to throw this right hand at him and he's supposed to dodge it. And he didn't dodge it.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, you hit him.

[Randy Couture]

I ran him over. Thankfully I didn't hit him, but I ran him over, literally flattened him in the cage. And director went nuts. And, you know, it's like he said, well, you didn't wind up. I was like, no, of course you didn't wind up.

[Adam Carolla]

How do you telegraph it?

[Randy Couture]

Yeah, so, you know, one of my first mistakes making that transition, understanding it, throwing a punch in a camera in a movie set is a whole lot different than actually trying to hit a guy in the face.

[Adam Carolla]

I think we got some of that fight. We put it on the screen for you, which is.

[Randy Couture]

Oh, yeah, there it is.

[Adam Carolla]

Crazy. What year is this? 03.

[Randy Couture]

I think we filmed in 02. 02 and it came out in 03.

[Adam Carolla]

Okay, we'll play it for a second.

[Randy Couture]

Oh, my gosh, there's jacketo.

[Adam Carolla]

Next up, 8 versus 12. 8 versus 12. Fighters report to the cage. Hey, close right here. Look at young Randy.

[Randy Couture]

Yeah, still had some hair.

[Adam Carolla]

You're the chicken shit, buddy. Forgot Tom Arnold was in this. Listen, I know this wasn't the plan, but if you don't get in there

[Randy Couture]

and fight right now, they're going to

[Adam Carolla]

throw us out of here on our asses. We'll never find this guy. Sorry. Just find the ring.

[Randy Couture]

Jeff Le.

[Adam Carolla]

Hey, two grand on the white guy.

[Randy Couture]

Let's go

[Adam Carolla]

order. Ready? Ah, Switch from orthodox to southpaw.

[Randy Couture]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

Wow.

[Randy Couture]

I have not seen this in forever.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, we'll walk down memory lane. It's not gonna hurt. Thank God it exists. You win. All right. We're not gonna watch old movie. That's fun. It's nice. It's chronicled.

[Randy Couture]

That is fun.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, you have. Your son fought, right?

[Randy Couture]

Yeah, Ryan.

[Adam Carolla]

I forgot about that.

[Randy Couture]

Mostly in Bellator.

[Adam Carolla]

Mostly in Bellator. How's he doing?

[Randy Couture]

He's doing great. He's running the gym now. Big string couture, 2020. He retired to start his family. He's got two boys now. I got two grandsons.

[Adam Carolla]

He was pretty successful, right?

[Randy Couture]

Yeah, he did a great job, honestly. He's a very smart young man, but degree in math and decided I kind of pilfered him away from the banking system to become the gym manager. And he was there about four months, and he's like, dad, I really want to fight. I'm like, oh, geez. All right. So he went about still working at the desk and learning the system in the gym, but training and fighting for 12 years is,

[Adam Carolla]

you know, they're fighters whose sons have fought historically. But, you know, like, you watch like, you know, Marvis Frazier and Joe Frazier's son and Cesar Chavez's son, Julio Cesar Chavez fought and, you know, but there seems to be, like, a little sense of urgency that's missing because the parent, the dad did it out of desperation. I mean, and I shouldn't. I'm not saying desperation, but, I mean, Joe Frazier's parents were sharecroppers. You know what I mean? Like, he lived in a shack with one shoe, and he fought to survive, basically. Then the dad becomes successful, and the son wants to fight, but. And he has all the physical talent, but he's missing a little bit of that desperation that is required to do what, you know, when smokin. Joe Frazier is in Manila with Muhammad Ali, and he's about to die, and it's the 14th round, and he's busted up so bad, and he's literally going to die, and he wants to get off the stool in his corner clothes. That's hard to do if you grew up with a rich dad. Yeah, and there is that. And I don't know if your son had that or not.

[Randy Couture]

That is a very interesting perspective, and it's tough to debate that in any way, shape, or form. Ryan. I felt like I was in survival mode, you know, from the time I was. I was 18 years old and got married because Ryan was on the way. That's what led me to the Army. I thought wrestling and competing in an individual, combative sport was done with me at that time. And lo and behold, the army put me back on a mat. They figured out I could wrestle.

[Adam Carolla]

Right.

[Randy Couture]

That qualified me for the 80 Olympic trials. Now the Olympic dream is back alive. But I felt like I was in this survival mode that whole time, I don't remember all those unique things that made being a father at 18 years old. And I got the chance to do that a little bit with my third child. I was 40 when he was born, in a completely different stage of my life. Slowed down the first steps, first words, even the drooling on himself. All those things that I realized in that moment, I missed with the first two because I was in survival mode. Ryan never had survival mode.

[Adam Carolla]

That's what I'm. That's what I'm saying.

[Randy Couture]

He had a chance to wrestle at Portland State. They were offering him a scholarship or part scholarship. And he's like, dad, I really don't want to wrestle in college. I just want to go to school.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, yeah, that's.

[Randy Couture]

And so I'm like, all right, you realize you're getting a job, right? So he worked his way through college. He got a degree in math at Western, was working for Wells Fargo, probably on the management track there. And I pilfered him away to manage Extreme Couture in Vegas.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, what I'm saying is, is I got a son, he's 19, and he ain't going to do the shit I did because he don't have to and he don't want to, and it's too hot and it's too dusty and it's too shitty for him. You know, when I was. I used to say, I'd go, you know, I was a carpenter. And so I'd go, I'd say to my ex wife, I'd go, you know, he'll. Maybe he'll. Maybe I can teach him some skills or something. And then she would say, well, maybe he's going to be better than you. And I said, no, he's not going to be better than me. And she'd go, why not? And I'd go, because he's not going to spend 50 hours a fucking week on a job site with a bunch of illegals with tool bags on. He's not going to do that. You can't learn what I learned with some online video. You're going to have to hit a job site and you're going to have to work there for 10 years.

[Alicia Krause]

And.

[Adam Carolla]

And he's not going to do any of that shit. So. No, he's not, but it's good. But he's not going to be desperate, you know what I mean? And so these guys have all the skills and all the tools, but they're missing a little bit of desperate, because desperate, that's when You. Because otherwise you're putting your life on the line because it's what you want to do. But, I mean, it's such an extreme sport that you need a little bit of that desperation, I think. Or you need to be a kind of Jon Jones, where you're just so gifted at it that it's not, you know, it's just almost what you do, you know?

[Randy Couture]

Yeah, he's certainly a unique athlete.

[Adam Carolla]

Is he gonna fight again?

[Randy Couture]

I don't know. Doesn't seem like it. It seems like all this stuff keeps coming up, that trying to keep himself relevant, but at the end of the day, I'm questioning whether he has that fighting spirit in him still. I think if he did, he'd have settled it and we'd have seen some of these fights that have been the hype for a while, but haven't happened. Step up and fight Aspinall, you know, Right. Throw your hat in the ring. What's the deal? You're a fighter. I mean, this is what you do.

[Adam Carolla]

What's your take on that fight, if it went down?

[Randy Couture]

You know, obviously I tend to lean more towards the older guys, the guys that have been there and done that. Aspinall is very talented. He's hungry, he's young, you know, he's making sacrifices in his life to get where he's at. John's already done that, but in some ways he knows the ropes, too. He knows what he's in for. So I always lean towards the older guy because I was that older guy most of my career. But you can't count out these young kids now, man. They saw us and they said, that's what I want to do.

[Adam Carolla]

Right.

[Randy Couture]

So this generation of fighters now is very, very talented, basically.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, well, yeah, because you guys, the first gen came up wrestling, karate, boxing, playing football, and then they proved their

[Randy Couture]

style was the best, and then they

[Adam Carolla]

had to transition into this thing. But it wasn't growing up with this sport of mma, it was growing up with other sports and figuring out how to fold them into mma. Now you grow up and it's all MMA from the word go. And of course, your technique and your ability is going to be that much better, just as it would for golf. You just grow up playing golf versus, well, this guy played tennis, but we converted him when he was 19. I mean, you just not. I don't care how good athlete you are, are. It's not in the muscle memory, you know, it's all muscle memory. You're not thinking so much as you're reacting. And the training is just insane repetition so that the body reacts. You know, it's. And the sad part about all this stuff is you just have to. All the repetition, I mean, it's an insane amount of repetition, right?

[Randy Couture]

Yeah, absolutely. That's the part you have to fall in love with.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. And I. You know, it's difficult because. So it is the part of life that, like, we're wired. Here's how we're wired. We're wired. Like, everyone goes, oh, I love sushi. And then you go, all right, let's get some sushi. I ate sushi last night. It's like, okay, well, so you won't do it two days in a row. You know what I mean? Every woman I've ever known is like, we did sushi. I'm like, do it again now. We did it before, but the idea of this is eat sushi for breakfast, lunch, and dinner and never stop and keep going. And it's like just drill, drill and drill. And it is torture to a lot of people. A certain small group of people kind of thrive in it, but that's a

[Randy Couture]

small group to find a way to make that fun.

[Adam Carolla]

That's what it is.

[Randy Couture]

I mean, you just have to find a way to make yourself enjoy, though. That's.

[Adam Carolla]

I don't even know if the word enjoy is quite right, but you need it. Like, you do it. You know what I mean? You're driven to do it. Was it for you when you were training for fight? Was it like, I bet that other guy's training right now kind of thoughts?

[Randy Couture]

Yeah, I always had that mentality. That's certainly a mindset that you get from wrestling. You know, you gotta be willing to go that extra mile, run that extra mile, do that extra thing that's gonna put you over that hump because that guy's training the same way you are.

[Adam Carolla]

What was a day, let's say, two weeks out from the fight, like, for you?

[Randy Couture]

I was seven days away from my last hard work workout, two weeks out, and now I'm. Psychologically, I start to get frustrated. I'm tired of training. It's here. I want to fight. And that's when I know I'm in shape and I'm ready to go. In that last two weeks of camp, I'm sick of training, and I'm ready for fight night to be there. Then I know the hay is in the barn, so to speak. I've done the work, and now it's time to make sure I taper. Seven days out, last hard workout. Now Everything's going through the motions, making sure you can make the weight. If I was cutting down at 205 and I had to make 206, which wasn't a huge challenge for me, I lost seven to nine pounds of water on every single workout.

[Adam Carolla]

Really?

[Randy Couture]

You know, if you're tracking it and using a training log, you know, I know what I walked in there. Check my weight before practice, check my weight after. It was generally seven to nine pounds.

[Adam Carolla]

Even when you're. Even when you're hydrating?

[Randy Couture]

Yeah, that is when I was hydrating. So I knew as long as I was within 10 pounds of my scratch weight, I was going to have an easy time.

[Adam Carolla]

You could do ten pounds in a day?

[Randy Couture]

Oh, yeah, that was a common nine or ten pounds of water. But any more than that, it's going to start to hurt. And it's a water based system. If you're not doing it right and you're challenging the system the day before, you actually have to walk out of that tunnel and up into that cage. You're doing yourself a disservice. You're going to affect your performance.

[Adam Carolla]

What was the preferred method to cut the water weight?

[Randy Couture]

I like to walk. I wore plastics. This is again years of wrestling, you know, in a weight class sport.

[Adam Carolla]

Do you Abilene?

[Randy Couture]

No, that was a newer thing that a lot of the younger guys were doing.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, really?

[Randy Couture]

Yeah. I remember baby oil sometimes.

[Adam Carolla]

I remember that shit from boxing gyms 40 years ago.

[Randy Couture]

Yeah. And it's like a box and forces you to sweat more.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, it's on a kind of weird Vaseline or something. You rub all over yourself and you sweat and then you put yourself in a bag and you walk.

[Randy Couture]

Walk, exactly.

[Adam Carolla]

You would walk though, not jog?

[Randy Couture]

I would walk, yeah. I want to spend as little energy as I had to and still get my core temperature up so that I would sweat that water out.

[Adam Carolla]

So you would maybe put baby oil on?

[Randy Couture]

Maybe usually not Usually a layer of cotton, then the plastics, then your heavier layer to lock the heat in. Wear a hat, wear gloves.

[Adam Carolla]

And how long would you walk for?

[Randy Couture]

Well, I got it down to a science. So if I was nine over, I knew I needed to get my stuff on. By the time I had my stuff on, I'd be sweating, start walking, and I would not walk. 90 minutes.

[Adam Carolla]

90 minutes.

[Randy Couture]

I was going to lose a pound every 10 minutes.

[Adam Carolla]

So you worked it out?

[Randy Couture]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

And it sounds like keeping logs and that kind of stuff. You were more, that was my approach, more mathematical than a lot of people. And you think? Yeah. From wrestling.

[Randy Couture]

From wrestling, right. You know, it was a mindset in wrestling where, you know, you kept a training log, you kept your resting heart rate. These were the ways you could tell if you were over training and overdoing it, which I was notorious for overtraining. I probably would have had more success on the wrestling mat and won more medals had I figured that earlier. But it wasn't until I made the transition to fighting where I had to stay out there for 25 minutes in a championship fight, not just six minutes in a match.

[Adam Carolla]

Right.

[Randy Couture]

A whole different animal. So I had to temper that wrestler's mindset and looking through those wrestler's eyes with that constant attacking mentality that wasn't gonna last 25 minutes.

[Adam Carolla]

There's no way you were over training when you wrestled. As you looked back.

[Randy Couture]

Yeah, that became apparent to me. Somebody asked me what I got more nervous for a fight or a wrestling match. Cause, you know, I started fighting in 97. I continued training and trying to make that Olympic team into the 2000 trials, going into Sydney, and then after coming up short in those trials, I retired from wrestling and said, I'm not going another four years. It's the only thing I didn't accomplish in the sport was making the Olympic team. I made the world team, World cup, all those other accolades in the sport. So that was the one thing. And I just had to come to terms with that and let go of it. And that freed me up to then focus 100% back on fighting and getting into fighting for all the right reasons.

[Adam Carolla]

Right. And you would over train as a wrestler.

[Randy Couture]

Yep. It was, it was. Looking back, I feel like I was notoriously over trained.

[Adam Carolla]

And so that would mean you were a little bit depleted going into the event.

[Randy Couture]

Your legs. Look at the way the Soviets and the Russians used to train. You know that last week was purely just keeping the water flowing and staying close to weight. And they were going through the motions. They weren't going. They were matches hard goes. They were letting their bodies recover. So then after they made weight on the day of competition, their legs were under them. They were fresh and hungry and ready to go eat something. And so I think we had that backwards. We trained and did matches, literally match goes right up to a day or two before weigh ins. And I think we were notoriously overtrained because of that. What we lacked in technical expertise, we made up for with aggressive athleticism, especially in Greco. That was the style I focused on most. But I wrestled all three styles. The American style, which is our Collegiate style and then the two Olympic styles, Greco and freestyle.

[Adam Carolla]

At first I didn't think it was real.

[Randy Couture]

I woke up to this blinding light and I was transported to another place. Pluto tv.

[Adam Carolla]

Then I heard a voice. Come with me if you want to live. There were thousands of movies and shows and they were all free.

[Randy Couture]

Truth isn't, it's just so Beautiful on Pluto TV. Free streaming of Terminator 2, Fringe Arrow, the 100 and the X Files may cause excitement, loss of sleep and sudden belief in extraterrestrials. No credit cards or alien encounters necessary. Pluto TV streaming now. Pay never.

[Adam Carolla]

Wrestling is probably about the best. You know, I have a kind of a pecking order of things that'll get your head right. And wrestling practice. Yeah, that'll get your head right. And swimming will get your head right. And anything that involves like long term discomfort. And as a matter of fact, when I played football, as I looked back on it, I was talking to my daughter's boyfriend the other day who played football. We were talking about kind of missing contact and playing football and stuff. And I was explaining to him what practice used to be like in the 70s, you know, and be 105 degrees in San Fernando Valley. And they'd be running you wind sprints and stuff, stuff. And they'd yell at you if your mouthpiece was out and stuff like that. And I said, they didn't give you water. And he said, they didn't give you water because like, young people are like, where's your water? Take Your water. You need your water. Who's got water? You got water money? Can you imagine your dad saying something like that? So he said, why didn't they give you water? I said, well, they thought it was bad for you, but they were also trying to torture you. Like they wanted you to be in pain. Yeah, but we were nine and it's like, I know, but they still wanted to punish you. The plan was punish him and build them back up again, you know? And I realized the water was much. It was less about them thinking we're going to cramp up, and more about them just going, boys, suck it up, princess. Suck it up. Yeah, right. And anyone who's been through that, I find that most tasks come a lot easier if you've been through that experience. Like, for me, people go, they want to add a third standup show in Naples. I'll go tell Nadit. You sure you want to do three? I go, it's nothing, it's nothing. Yeah, but that's three shows. What the fuck? I'm just standing there talking. I'm holding a beer, for Christ's sake. You know what I mean? You find that translates that way for you?

[Randy Couture]

Absolutely, yeah. I took to the military as a 19 year old like a duck to water. I had a very organized mindset anyway, my room was always clean and everything had its place. So then learning how to fold my underwear and my socks properly, the military way took to me fine. And again, all of that stemmed from an 11 year old walking out on that wrestling mat and starting to learn how to do all those reversals and all those escapes and all those takedowns and sweat through that practice.

[Adam Carolla]

But now here's an interesting other side of that coin for me that I realized. I grew up with no discipline. And no, my dad was around, but he wasn't really a father figure. He didn't discipline me. And I just was kind of free range. I just, if you want to do homework, do homework. If you don't, don't. You can go to eat, but we don't have food here, but go somewhere, go find food and go scrounge. And I just grew up completely without guardrails or boundaries or anything. I just grew up wild. And I was just raised myself. And so when I found football, I realized I was completely obsessed with it and sort of compelled to do it. And other people didn't like it. They didn't like getting yelled at by the coaches and they didn't like sweating out in the sun and they didn't whatever. And I. I was attracted to it. Like, hugely attracted to it. And now I look back on it, and I was like, that's the only discipline I had. That's the only place where there was some order, some structure and some structure, and people had assignments and jobs and there was a place to go, and there was a structure, and there was a count and a play, and you had to memorize this and you didn't want to let people down. And because I was bizarrely attracted to it, and other people would go, what do you want to do that for? We're going to the pool party.

[Randy Couture]

You know, that was wrestling for me.

[Adam Carolla]

Is that what it was for you? Because your dad wasn't providing that.

[Randy Couture]

My dad wasn't around.

[Adam Carolla]

Wasn't around, no. Right. Did he come back around?

[Randy Couture]

In my late 20s, he moved down from Alaska back to the lower 40.

[Adam Carolla]

Went to Alaska.

[Randy Couture]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

Never a good sign. It's never a good sign.

[Randy Couture]

And we reconnected, which felt weird. I mean, I literally hadn't seen him in 10 years.

[Adam Carolla]

My joke is I feel like I could walk into any bar in Alaska at any time and just go, federal Marshal. And watch nine guys dive out a window. I wouldn't need to say names on the lam. All I need to yell is yell, federal Marshal. And I watch the whole place clear out.

[Randy Couture]

It does feel that way. It feels like everybody's on the lam up there. It's funny. Amazing place.

[Adam Carolla]

And literally amazing, Amazing place. But I do feel like everyone there's got a story. So your dad left at 19?

[Randy Couture]

No, I left at 19.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, you left at 19?

[Randy Couture]

He left when I was 3.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, but you said you hadn't seen him in 10 years.

[Randy Couture]

Yeah, from the 19 to 29, I hadn't seen him.

[Adam Carolla]

But he left at 3.

[Randy Couture]

He left at 3. They were divorced and all of that at 3 years old.

[Adam Carolla]

So you crave that structure, that wrestling

[Randy Couture]

coaches filled that void.

[Adam Carolla]

Right, right.

[Randy Couture]

You know, and that started with the early days. Baseball and soccer, the two first sports I played. And, you know, that's where that structure started coming from. And then at some point, I'd heard enough stories about how tough my dad was and what a good wrestler my dad was. So my older brother's friends were wrestling. We went to watch them in the junior high school meet. We were grade schoolers, and they thought it was funny and put us in a novice tournament. Never wrestled, never trained, never nothing. Just threw us in this tournament. And I pinned the kid with a headlock and got my first bloody nose. And I'm like, this is amazing, right? And the coach, you know, I asked him. I didn't know what a headlock was. I didn't know what I even pinned this kid with. And so I'm asking this, this coach, this man who turned out to be coach John Case Beer, my PE teacher and wrestling coach the very next year in seventh grade.

[Adam Carolla]

Wow.

[Randy Couture]

He remembered me from that, that match and that conversation, you know, wrestling starts next week. I'll see you at wrestling.

[Adam Carolla]

Did your dad, when he came back around when you were 29, now you're in full UFC mode at that point, right?

[Randy Couture]

Not yet.

[Adam Carolla]

Almost.

[Randy Couture]

Almost. Yeah. A couple of years before I fought, I was. I was 33, almost 34 when I had my first.

[Adam Carolla]

I forgot. Yeah.

[Randy Couture]

So we were kind of building a foundation for a relationship again through those couple years. And then I started fighting, and he loved the fighting. He thought it was amazing. And I actually brought him to several fights.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, really?

[Randy Couture]

In Vegas and some other places that actually brought us closer together. And he started to pay more attention to my youngest, who came along at the end of my fight career. He didn't know my older two kids very well.

[Adam Carolla]

Right.

[Randy Couture]

Because of that 10 year gap that we just didn't. We didn't communicate at all. So it was a bit weird. But then he kind of started doting on my youngest. You know, he moved back to the lower 48. I had a house up in Bend, Oregon. He was just over the border in southern, you know, South Central Washington pay l. And so I would let him know when I was coming up to see my youngest and hang out, and he would drive down lots of times and spend time with us for the weekend. And that was probably the closest and most time I'd gotten to spend with him as an adult.

[Adam Carolla]

Ben, Oregon is beautiful.

[Randy Couture]

It is. It's spectacular.

[Adam Carolla]

I think I did some shows there a few months back and I was like, man, this is nice up here.

[Randy Couture]

High desert, you know, Mount Hood there in the background. Or Mount Bachelor, rather. Mount Hood's on the west side, but yeah, Mount Bachelor.

[Adam Carolla]

It's great country, man. And has your dad passed?

[Randy Couture]

He has, 14 years ago.

[Adam Carolla]

So you guys were able to kind of reunite, so to speak.

[Randy Couture]

Yeah, on some level, you know, we reconnected. And at some point you have to let that stuff go. You have to recognize that all the negative things you've been through have made you this person. That's who you are. And that guy you look at in the mirror every morning, if you're all right with that guy, then all the stuff you went through good or bad, you can't erase any of it. And you might as well face it, because erasing it, there's erasing part of who you are and what made you who you are. So I certainly had to come to terms with that with both my parents, really, but certainly with Ed.

[Adam Carolla]

I'm glad. And by the way, I was in Grants Pass and Bend, Oregon, in January. And it's a nice drive from Grants Pass to Bend.

[Randy Couture]

Yeah, it's a great drive.

[Adam Carolla]

It's beautiful. Wide open. God, it's majestic. But

[Randy Couture]

the.

[Adam Carolla]

The only thing that went wrong is at some point we had to take a piss. And there was no. There's nothing. You can go miles and miles and miles and not see anything. And there was in January, and there was snow everywhere. So I said, when we get into this town, there's a diner up there. We can use the bathroom. And it was a Saturday at, like, 1, and we pulled up and I go, I don't know. Is they open? I don't know if they're open. And it looked. And it said, like, nobody can use the bathroom here. Because they figured out that at the end of this 200 mile highway, everyone stopped to piss in this place and then leave. And so I said, well, we'll just buy a brand muffin or something, you know? But the place was, like, closed. And so I'm like, I'm just gonna go walk over by the car and do that. Open the door. Move and stand there like I'm looking at something. I'm just gonna fill a Gatorade bottle. My buddy Mike said, I'm just gonna go over there to the other side of the restaurant. I'll just. I'm taking a piss. Next thing I know, I hear a guy screaming, you better put your dick back in your pants. I'm filming you, bro.

[Randy Couture]

I'm filming you.

[Adam Carolla]

And he's got his camera out, and I'm pissing all over myself trying to get my bottle done. And the guy's following my guy out. I'm filming. I've seen it all. I'm calling the cops. I'm filming. Jesus Christ. I got your license plate number. I'm like, are you fucking. We jump in the car, we're taking off. I go, I still got a piss. And now I started pissing and I stopped. So the maniac who owned the place or was around just started filming my buddy. All we were doing is trying to take a piss off the side of the road.

[Randy Couture]

That's hysterical.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, it's crazy. That's my only memory other than Ben was. The town is beautiful.

[Randy Couture]

Very good food there.

[Adam Carolla]

And gentrified, man. It's on the way up. Like, shit. Ain't cheap there anymore.

[Randy Couture]

I'm guessing there's foundries and a lot of art and stuff. Yeah, it's become a thing.

[Adam Carolla]

I'm always happy when somebody's dad can see that the person had success before they pass. The saddest thing to me is when I talk to somebody and they played quarterback in the Super Bowl. And I go, well, my dad passed when I. And I go, did your dad see a play in the Super Bowl? And they go, he passed two years before I was. And I always go, oh, man, I wish your dad got to watch you start in the super bowl, you know?

[Randy Couture]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

And your dad was there to see your championship fights, right?

[Randy Couture]

Yeah, Ed got to attend those, and. Yeah, it was good. I have pictures, so. You know, have a lot of that from. From being a kid.

[Adam Carolla]

Right. Just pictures. I was just thinking about the other day, like, you gotta work hard to find a picture of me under 20.

[Randy Couture]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

Like, people didn't have cameras, and they didn't give a shit.

[Randy Couture]

These phones. I mean, it was never more connected in any time in the history of being human.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, there's. I'm gonna say way more, but, I mean, there's 2,000% more pictures of my dog than there were of now than there was of me. Zero to. In a way, it kind of makes it fun. Like, if you find some old shot, like, once in a blue moon, my sister will send me some old picture from some old party with my grandma or something, I'll go, oh, wow, there's a picture where now no one would give a shit because taking 10 pictures a day, at least, right?

[Randy Couture]

Yeah. And there was a whole process even getting a picture, you know, to take it and drop it off and then pick it up a week later. And it was this whole process involved. And you're never sure what you got on that film.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, look, we would. When I was 18 or 19, if you left your disposable phone around, my buddies would take it into the bathroom, take pictures of their nut sack, and then put it right back. And then later, when you got that film.

[Randy Couture]

Oh, yeah, great.

[Adam Carolla]

When Liz Escoff would get her film developed, there'd be eight pictures of my buddy Ray's nutsack in the middle of her party. Pictures. I don't know. I don't. People don't have fun anymore. Like, they don't.

[Randy Couture]

Hilarious.

[Adam Carolla]

It's. It's a good, solid prank. Kids don't prank each other anymore. They don't. Like, I would always be you. Speaking of wrestling, all I did was wrestle my friends. That's all we did. Headlocks. Well, we fought. I mean, we didn't fight closed fists. We just went at it. All we did was go at it. And, like, I remember my son was like, 10, 11, 12. And I come walking in the living room, him and three of his friends just be watching tv. I'd be like, aren't you guys wrestling each other? And he's like, what? I'd go, why aren't you. Get that guy in a headlock right now. And he'd go, why? You know, like, we would have to. Our biggest thing is we'd have to put the furniture back once mom came home, because we would knock everything. All the place, and we had to carefully, like, fit everything back to where it was, because she'd walk in and go, okay, what the fuck's going on in here?

[Randy Couture]

The dents in the carpet.

[Adam Carolla]

The dents in the carpet needed to line up.

[Randy Couture]

Yep.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. Because that's all we did.

[Randy Couture]

Yeah. It's amazing.

[Adam Carolla]

I don't think, you know, it was. A lot of guys are pussies now, and that's kind of the worst thing a guy can be with another group that's going hard the other direction. Meaning Dr. Drew would say to me, where we heading as a nation? I would just go safe spaces and octagons. There's a group of dudes that are going hard into the octagon. And I don't mean mma. I just mean that mindset. You know, I'm on a meat diet. I'm driving a Dodge something, and I'm. I'm practicing jiu jitsu, you know, and then other guys that are, like, microaggressions, and I got 14 bracelets and I got a man bun and stuff like that, and they're used to. Everyone just used to live in the middle, like, a dude was a dude, and that was about it. Yeah, there were always some tough guys and always some nerds, but, I mean, basically everyone's just sort of in the middle somewhere.

[Randy Couture]

Yeah. I don't know. I feel. You know, sometimes I feel like we're all a lot closer to the middle than they want us to believe. They want us to believe that we're miles and miles apart. And I think if we're. We're willing to step into that void and be vulnerable and open yourself up potentially, you find out you're not as far apart as you think you are.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, most people want all the same stuff. I mean, people want good neighbors and they want reliable people and they want clean, safe streets. It is a kind of a weird process of if you were another civilization and you were studying our civilization, they'd go, why are they so divided? And the person would probably conclude that they wanted. One group wanted this and the other group wanted that. Like one group's going to want homelessness and crime and violence. And you'd go, no, no, no. Everybody wants clean streets and no homeless and no crime. And they'd go, what else? Well, we'd like to, you know, earn money and have nice things and go on vacations and what's the other group? No, they all want. They want the same thing. Like, wait a minute, if everyone ostensibly wants the same thing, then why are

[Randy Couture]

we at the pods?

[Adam Carolla]

Why, why so far apart? You know what I mean? I feel like we're being programmed probably. I mean it's definitely working. I was watching a video. You say program and I'm looking at you, Dawson. I think I liked it from last night, but I can't recall, but I was watching a video and maybe Andrew can see from last night would have liked it. Probably about nine or ten o' clock last night. It was like a no kings march and they had all these older people and they're just sort of walking and a woman, I think red haired on a microphone and she said, what do we have to get rid of Trump for? Or he's a dictator. But can you give us some examples of stuff he's done that would be like a dictator, something like that? Yeah, this is it. And none of the people. And I think you'll see Maybe average age 74 and a half could even provide a reason as to why they were at the place they were at, which speaks to Randy's programming. Because if you can get people to show up to a march or a rally and they don't even know why they're there, then maybe you program them. Yeah, I'll play it for you. Thanks.

[Alicia Krause]

What do you make of the fact that he was democratically elected, even won the popular vote, how does that make him a king?

[Adam Carolla]

It doesn't make him a king, makes him a president, not a king.

[Alicia Krause]

Well, this is called no kings. So what does that mean to you?

[Adam Carolla]

It means we got to get rid of him. He's not a king. It's democratic process. And, and we've gone that route with him now he's acted like a king. Can you give me a specific example? Specific example? Well, there's. There's a million of them all put together. There's no one example.

[Alicia Krause]

It's one or two.

[Adam Carolla]

It's more than one or two.

[Alicia Krause]

No. Can you give me one or two examples?

[Randy Couture]

Not off the top of my head.

[Adam Carolla]

I mean, I can. I guess. I'm just a loss of thought here on.

[Randy Couture]

There's a lot of things.

[Alicia Krause]

Okay.

[Adam Carolla]

I can't really. He's just there.

[Alicia Krause]

Well, thank you.

[Randy Couture]

Okay.

[Alicia Krause]

I know what Biden did.

[Adam Carolla]

I don't agree with all of it, but this is way worse than what any other president.

[Alicia Krause]

What makes it worse in this country?

[Adam Carolla]

You can't see that I don't have

[Alicia Krause]

anything more to say. If you don't know what makes President Trump a king.

[Adam Carolla]

He's 75.

[Alicia Krause]

What specific policies or actions?

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, everything that he does. The man's a fascist.

[Alicia Krause]

Can you give me an example?

[Randy Couture]

Oh, boy. Of everything that he does? I mean, just tries to put his name on everything.

[Alicia Krause]

What specific action or policy is the Trump administration acting like a king? He wants to be a dictator. He loves dictators. He wants to be a dictator. And didn't he just remove a dictator from Venezuela? He went in and stole them. So he was not a dictator in Venezuela. He was. So he removed a dictator.

[Adam Carolla]

Disappeared. Are people that are American citizens that immigrated to this country illegally and they're gone. Can you give me a specific example?

[Alicia Krause]

Because I'm not aware of any American.

[Adam Carolla]

You're not aware of that experience.

[Alicia Krause]

Can you give me a specific example there?

[Adam Carolla]

Donald Trump rapes children of American citizens. I know. It's a setup, which.

[Alicia Krause]

No, I, I.

[Adam Carolla]

What? You told me an American citizen has been deported. That's a big claim. I just want to know. There are several of them. These people are in their 70s. They didn't know who Donald Trump was when they were in their 60s. And they've been programmed to spend a Saturday holding a sign and walking in circles about a subject they have no information on, which is kind of nuts.

[Randy Couture]

Yeah, it's a bit scary, frankly.

[Adam Carolla]

It's also scary that people can be activated. Like, that's the way I felt about COVID I was like, oh, man. We activated all these nut jobs and they all went out.

[Randy Couture]

I think that was the test. I think that Covid and everything wrapped up in. That was the test to see how compliant people were gonna be. They were testing the water.

[Adam Carolla]

It was sadly, devastatingly disappointing to this American to see how many people could easily be activated and duped, by the way. And also without any ability for critical thought. You know what I mean? Like, people go, yeah, you take some basic stuff like it emanated from a pangolin in a wet market. It did. Isn't the lab up the street? Yeah, don't they study those kind of viruses at that lab? Yeah, so don't you think maybe it came from the lab? No, absolutely not. It came from a pangolin. And you're like, okay, most people should have stopped and went, you know what? I'm gonna assume it came from the lab. So we weren't able to do that, which is scary. And it's scary how many people were activated essentially turned into little foot soldiers and policing. Because I tell people all the time,

[Randy Couture]

he makes you kind of feel sorry for anybody who was actually named Karen,

[Adam Carolla]

except for Karen Bass, who is the mayor, who I do hate, but I don't feel sorry for her. But, yeah, and I think guys like you who've been in the military and been in the cage and sort of understand things and aren't fear based, you know, because this is mostly people being fear based, and they're so based. They're so steeped in fear all the time. And I'm always like, get over it, man. You know, your number's going to come up one day, or maybe you get another 30 years, I don't know. But get over it. And I started realizing that everything was predicated on fear. And then once you start saying something's dangerous, then you start taking control. See, you got to use the fear to capture people. And I just made me realize how many people were fear based, you know? And I don't know what. I think a lot of it is narcissism. You have to be worried about yourself all the time. So I think there's a fear. There's a narcissistic fear based thing. There's also sort of a math thing where that people don't do the math statistically. On, like. Like when people like, I'm like, look, I'm safer in this race car than I am on that zipper scooter that's out on the sidewalk going 30 miles an hour in a pair of board shorts and flip flops. I'm in a fire suit with a helmet. I got a cage. I'm safer in this car. They go, but that thing's loud and scary. And I go, I know, but it's safer in here than it is probably the ride to the track with a car with no roll cage and no fire suppression system. You know what I mean? And drunk Guys out there, God knows, driving, doing God knows what, you know, I mean, at least here, everyone's trained, everyone knows what they're doing, and everyone's worried about their own shit, you know?

[Randy Couture]

Yeah, yeah. I mean, it's hard to argue. That's not true. I mean, it's a crazy world right now. It really is. And I feel like we're being programmed. Consumerism, this fear base that you're talking about, it stems from the institutions all the way down. We're not taught to question anything anymore. Our kids, our schools, I mean, they've been institutionalized for going on 100 years. Over 100 years now.

[Adam Carolla]

Yes.

[Randy Couture]

And core curriculums and all these things, screen time, I mean, they're correlating that to this huge drop in. In what seems like our intelligence and our kids and their ability to question and learn. And where I think we used to rank very, very high in the world, we're way down there now. We're not even in the discussion anymore, which is concerning, but it feels like it's all part of a plan.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, I don't, you know, my thing is, like, I don't know what the end game is. Is it nihilism? Is it just total destruction? Is it like as someone just has all the money and to remove the

[Randy Couture]

sovereignty from all these countries. I mean, Europe as we know it is gone right through forced immigration.

[Adam Carolla]

Right.

[Randy Couture]

And the unwillingness of those people that immigrated to assimilate to. To that Western culture. That's exactly what the goal's been here.

[Adam Carolla]

Right.

[Randy Couture]

For. For quite a while now with the southern border. That's literally been wide open.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, it does. I totally agree. And you have to really.

[Randy Couture]

Minnesota is the tip of the iceberg, and they start digging into the west coast to what Illinois looks like and New York looks like, Minnesota is going to look like, you know.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, I have. I totally agree. And you have to kind of look, don't listen to what people say, watch what they do, you know, and so you have to kind of go, look, you have a border, southern border, and you have the Biden administration. And they go, okay, what's going on at the border? And then they go, well, Kamala Harris, you're the borders.

[Randy Couture]

Are.

[Adam Carolla]

You're in charge of the border. But she never goes to the border. She goes somewhere else. And then you have mayorkas sit up there, and he goes, the border's closed. Except for we see throngs and throngs and cavalcades and just throngs of people crossing the border every day. And they're going, the border's closed. And then someone goes, look, Joe Biden, why don't you just close the border? He goes, I'd like to, but the Congress is gonna have to close. I don't have the ability to close the border. And then Texas starts putting up barriers like shipping containers to create their own wall, like a makeshift fence. And then the federal government sues them to remove all that stuff. And you go, well wait a minute, sounds like you're for open border. No, no, I want a closed border. Mayorkas, what do you say? The border's under control and then Trump takes over in three days in the border's completely locked down and zero crossing. So yeah, did they want the border closed? And I would argue no, they didn't want the border closed cuz they didn't act like it at all. You don't think Biden didn't know that he had the right to close the border? And they just, all they did was argue about it. It was like we're gonna run the clock out. And every day we run the clock out. We hundred thousand people in here. And that's all they did. So obviously they think they're going to benefit from this. Now they're fighting ICE because that's what this is. So you can't tell me that they didn't want this. That's what they got and what they created.

[Randy Couture]

It doesn't make sense. It just doesn't make sense.

[Adam Carolla]

No, I want not to you and

[Randy Couture]

I, I get very fired up because when I've got 50,000 soldiers that took an oath to protect and preserve our way of life here in this constitution that we live under, living on the streets, homeless. And we're more concerned with taking care of folks that have jumped our southern border, right. And making sure they're in nice places and getting a stipend and being fed. Yes, there is a serious problem.

[Adam Carolla]

I totally agree. But we have got ourselves a problem which is one party has decided that that's their constituency and they basically used to do it for black folk, but they've kind of went, there's not enough of them and they're starting to turn and they're voting for Trump and whatever. We may have lost them, but we have a new constituency and that's these, these people that came over the border. And so we have to fight everything along the way, voter ID and all that kind of stuff. And we have to make accommodations for them to get them to vote for us, which might be good for them, but it's not good for the taxpayers who are living amongst these. These people. And by the way, you didn't grow up out here. I did. And this whole street bazaar thing where people are selling food and blankets and flowers and oranges, this is a new thing. I mean, this never existed in Los Angeles. There's no such thing as you going out on the street and buying street food in Los Angeles. It was regulated. You had to go to a restaurant or a supermarket or a diner. This whole everyone on the street selling everything that's just. They opened the border. Everyone spilled across. And these people aren't enforcing laws that are on the books. You can't open a restaurant in Los Angeles without jumping through a thousand hoops and getting a thousand permits. But they can just sell hot dogs on the street right in front of the police station. I went down to Sofi Stadium a couple years ago. There were legals selling tequila shots and Modelo beers on the grounds of the stadium in front of cops. That batshit crazy. But that only means the cops were told to stand down because we didn't want to upset what is their constituency, which is illegals selling Modelo beers. Wow. So I'm with you. Well, Randy, let me give you a plug before we start getting into the weeds. Too far here. Pitfall. It's in theaters May 29th. I would ask that people watch the trailer. The trailer is exciting and it's tactile and it's not all CGI'd. It's. It's old school.

[Randy Couture]

Yeah, it's old school. I like that about it. It's a. It looks like one thing when you start and it turns into something else.

[Adam Carolla]

Good to see you again, my brother.

[Randy Couture]

Thank you. Great to see you as well.

[Adam Carolla]

To learn more, go to F o r the people.com Adam or click the link in the description below. This is a paid advertisement. It's time to check Adam's voicemail. Hey, Adam, let's get it on. This is Canyon John from Flagstaff, Arizona. Teaching my daughters how to drive. When the light turns green and you're in the left turn lane, shouldn't you pull into the intersection? Nobody's pulling into the intersection. Or they wait until the last car starts coming, then they pull into the it driving me nuts. Thank you. Let's get it on. You can leave us a message at 888-634-1744. My it's funny when you're someone, they're stopped behind the crosswalk and you like, toot. And then they pull up reluctantly. And then some point, you drive up next to a person and you find out that they're 62 years old and you're like, is this just how you drive? This is just how you drive. I do not blame them. Really, I do not.

[Alicia Krause]

Who do you blame?

[Adam Carolla]

So you think, when a guy goes out in really bad ostrich cowboy boots that are purple, I blame his wife. I don't blame him. Somebody needed to go, hey, like anyone who's driven with that guy over the past 40 years, when you're sitting in the passenger seat. And you're just sitting. They go, hey, hotshot. Mario Andretti, pull it out. That's what you do. That's how people drive. Like, if I'm with anybody and we're just sitting there. I was in Vegas over the weekend. I was picked up by a podcast. They were driving me back to do the podcast. We're on a long stretch of highway. Lights, green, red, turn, arrow. I go, go through the arrow. He goes, what? I go, go through the arrow. He goes, I don't think I can do that. I go, go ahead. And by the way, you're fucking welcome. I will change your life. I will change your life. You sit at this stupid arrow waiting. Wait, just drive through it. Just drive. There's no cars coming. Just drive through it. He did it. Life changer. I will tell you, there is one thing that my mom told me my entire life, where I actually went. That kind of makes sense. Yeah, I kind of get it.

[Alicia Krause]

Only a thing.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, she heard it from somebody else, but she still passed it on to me. Because her life was about safety. Her whole life was about safety. But it was always funny to me. It was about frugality and safety. Like, how do you spend the least amount of money and be the safest? And so she always drove Volvos back when Volvos had a reputation for being the safe car. Now all cars are safe, but back then it was the Volvo. But I would always tell her, mom, you're driving a Volvo for safety. I go, yeah, it's 23 years old. Yeah. I go, a brand new anything is going to be 10 times safer than your 23 year old Volvo. So that's where safety and cheapness are loggerheads. But she did tell me this. She said, if you're in that position at the front and you're planning on turning left and cars are coming by and you're looking for an opening. Don't have your wheel pre turned to the left. Oh, it's kind of back before power steering, I guess people did.

[Alicia Krause]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

Because if somebody ever rear ended you, you would go right in front of the cars that were coming down the hill.

[Alicia Krause]

That makes sense.

[Adam Carolla]

And I was like, mom, let me write this down. Mark the twine.

[Alicia Krause]

Log it.

[Adam Carolla]

This makes sense. I'm gonna say something, and I might even use this.

[Alicia Krause]

I'm gonna say something that might sound anti immigrant, but I'm kind of surprised this guy's seeing this in Flagstaff, because I see it a lot in LA and it drives me crazy. And I get Borderline road rage. And I will honk at them if it's like yellow and they're just taking their sweet ass time. But I had an eye opening experience when a couple different girlfriends, one who was born in Mexico and immigrated here, and then another one who was born in Brazil and was visiting here like on a two year work visa, they were shocked when I was like aggressive and pulled up and was ready to go. And they were like, we don't do this in our country, right? And so I think that maybe because America, broadly, but specifically Los Angeles is such a melting pot now, I take note of, like, that person probably didn't learn how to drive here. So that's why they're not driving as aggressively as they are.

[Adam Carolla]

I've said it all the time. It's why we suck at soccer, because we weren't playing it 100 years ago. It's not a sport. Their grandfather rode a donkey to work. You understand? Your girlfriend's grandfather rode a donkey. So they don't have a long, rich history. Germans don't do this because they invented the Autobahn in 1927. Do you see what I'm saying? So it's a history. It is. Also, let's keep it to whitey because, you know, I don't like to take a turn for the racial like you do. Let's keep it to white people. Everybody relocates out here from either a country where they don't fucking know how to drive or have cars aren't part of their world or the Midwest or a place where it is illegal to turn right on a red. And they've driven in New York for 23 years and then they move here and it's all cemented in. They do not know you can turn right on a red. And they're never gonna be a sign that tells them and there's never gonna be any information. There's a sign that says no ride on red, but there's never anyone that says go ahead. And they don't know it. And that's why I honk from seven cars behind because I'm like, would you? And then the person in front of me always goes, what do you want from me? Tell the person to go fucking honk. And tell the guy to go, who is this person? And I don't know. Now you got me fired up.

[Alicia Krause]

Sorry.

[Adam Carolla]

The drivers. There's a person that I'm like sort of most enthralled with or fascinated about or something like that.

[Alicia Krause]

Keeps you up at night.

[Adam Carolla]

It's a mystery wrapped in an enigma. I was pulling out onto PCH the other day, and it's sloped kind of for drainage. Pretty good. Like, it's got a nice crown. And my street kind of comes downhill. And then you go up the pch, and on this particular street on pch, cars sort of come around the corner at a decent speed. And you gotta kind of time it. You have to kind of look off into the distance, but you can't look that far because the corner. There's a corner, you know, so somebody's moving at a good clip. You can start to move out, and they go, oh, here comes somebody. So I start to move out, but I see someone coming at a decent clip. And because it's sloped, I just take my foot off the gas and the car just rolls back out of. I didn't go into the middle of the intersect. I started to pull out. I had my nose out, saw somebody. The person flashed the high beams, and I just rolled back out of the way. And as the person went by me and was directly in front of me, I got a honk on the horn, which is like, hold on a second. I thought this was the perfect crime. I started to pull out, then I saw you, and then I moved out of the way. And then you went by without changing lanes or swerving or hitting your brake or anything. What more lesson do I. What more punitive part of this? I still need a honk as you go by me. And then it's kind of like, are other people allowed to drive? Or should we check with his highness before we leave the house?

[Alicia Krause]

That sounds like somebody that lives in Malibu. How much the world just revolves around them.

[Randy Couture]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

How much better this work out for you? I saw you stopped and went back, and then you went by me. Why the honk? And then I was at the same place, and I used to teach driving school. So I gotta think about this comedy. Well, traffic school, but I had to be certified.

[Alicia Krause]

That's amazing.

[Adam Carolla]

I had to take a 300 question test at the DMV in the back. I got to go to the coveted back part of the dmv.

[Alicia Krause]

I don't think I ever want to go to a DMV in the my life ever again. So I don't know what this coveted back room is.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, they have a whole spread. They have lobster and shrimp. They have a. They have a champagne fountain paid for

[Alicia Krause]

by our tax dollars.

[Adam Carolla]

You have to go to the dmv. You have to be monitored by the dmv. And yeah, that's not like they give you the test to take it at home. You have to go there, and you have to be, like, bonded by the DMV to be a traffic school teacher.

[Alicia Krause]

That's amazing.

[Adam Carolla]

So I went to a traffic. I went to a dmv, and I went in the back door and I sat down, and for me to do 300. I took me four hours to do this fucking test back there. But I passed, and I got licensed.

[Alicia Krause]

Was it pass or fail, like the bar that Kim Kardashian can't pass, or was it, like, majority?

[Adam Carolla]

No, you either pass and you get bonded, or you don't pass and you don't get bonded or certified or whatever it is by the DMV. There's no, like. Well, he got 67%. It's like, once you pass, you get bonded. Nobody cares about your scores. Not like an sat.

[Alicia Krause]

Are we, like, I know in Vegas or Mexico and some other places, like, if you're in a vehicle that's like a. Is it still called a livery? Like a livery vehicle? Like a special license to transport people.

[Adam Carolla]

Right.

[Alicia Krause]

Can the passengers drink alcohol in California, or is that, like, just like a Vegas Miami thing?

[Adam Carolla]

I think it's a Vegas Miami thing because California has something called open container.

[Alicia Krause]

Yeah. So you can't have.

[Adam Carolla]

And that includes the person in the backseat, too. Although I've definitely had some beers on the way up to the racetrack while someone else was driving. And definitely we've been pulled over.

[Alicia Krause]

So I have my.

[Adam Carolla]

And they're kind of like, yeah, having some beers. Like, I'm not driving. Sort of. I sort of. I'm on my first beer, and I'm not driving. They're kind of meh.

[Alicia Krause]

So I got 11 gals together over the weekend for a mom's night out, and we all loaded up in the Sprinter, and I was the dd and I was like, oh, it would have been fine if they wanted to drink and chat and hang in the back. But then I was like, oh, maybe that's a special license, and maybe I should get that so then my gal pals can drink and have fun in the back of the Sprinter while I drive around.

[Adam Carolla]

Nobody drank.

[Alicia Krause]

We drank at. Well, we did like a Champagne toast at McDonald's.

[Adam Carolla]

They should have done the Sprinter drink. There's also a thing.

[Alicia Krause]

But, like, could I lose my license? I don't.

[Adam Carolla]

Nah. I mean, there's letter of the law, maybe open container, but if they saw you and you're ground the back drinking a White Claw, I don't think anyone's

[Alicia Krause]

gonna do Anything next Mom's night out? I'll bring him some white claw.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, by the way, they were nipping off a flask the entire time. So I was pulling out to turn left onto pch, another incident a few weeks ago, and somebody was coming the other direction. They stopped in the center. And here's the thing that's weird. I was waiting there to turn left for it to clear out, but this other person came in coming. They were traveling right to left, and they stopped in the center median and they wanted to turn onto my side street, but I was there first, so technically I should have just turned left. And then when it was clear, they turned left. The person looked at me from their car and they went, no, no, no. They gave me a finger wag. They were like, no, no, no.

[Alicia Krause]

Was that a boomer?

[Adam Carolla]

I know that's. Dude. I was like, what? What's with the no, no, no. I was here first. I'm just gonna turn and then you can turn now. It was like, no, no, no. Now I'm here. And now you gotta wait for me to turn in front of you. Which isn't even the fucking law. But now it makes me hate everybody all the time. The. No, no, no. Like, what is that? Could you imagine just driving along and someone was waiting to turn, and then you got there after them and you looked at me like, don't even think about turning because I'm here now. All right. Oh, here's a quick one for you.

[Alicia Krause]

Okay.

[Adam Carolla]

Can we agree on this?

[Alicia Krause]

I don't know.

[Adam Carolla]

I know I'm already expecting a lot of trouble.

[Alicia Krause]

Here we go.

[Adam Carolla]

I'm expecting trouble. Okay, I'm going to try. It dawned on me yesterday, I once saw a John Stossel thing, and they basically taste. They tested all the leading brands of shampoo and then they tested Suave and this a million years ago. But The Suave is 289 and the Pantene was $13.

[Alicia Krause]

And he said the Bubble and Bumble is 45.

[Adam Carolla]

He said, they're all the same. They're all the same. All the same. But women are like, tough shit, John. We're getting expensive stuff. And then they do a thing. They go, I can tell a difference. It works on my hair. Whatever. I think it's all in the scent, by the way. You got hot water, you got steam, and you've got the scent. And women are so in touch with the scent.

[Alicia Krause]

Also, some women don't like the more Maha friendly chemical free shampoos because they don't lather women like like the lather. Because I think the lather is like making us think our hair takes a

[Adam Carolla]

steamy halo of beautiful essence and they go, oh, this, I like this stuff. So they do that cheap.

[Alicia Krause]

It smells fancy.

[Adam Carolla]

Can I. Can we agree that this is the woman's version of the dude who's ordering the drink? And I know a few of these douchebags and they're like, kettle One, you have Great Goose. Oh, just cut. Okay, good. No Tito's. No, I don't want Tito's. I need Kettle One. It's like you can't tell the difference between these five vodkas. You can't tell the difference between Smirnoff and Grey Goose and Kettle One and Tito's. But you have a big shot and you got to pick your expensive brand so people hear you. I say the shampoo is to that what the vodka is to men. Nobody's going to know the difference. It's the scent in the shampoo. You have the scent, but in terms of how your hair turned out, you could swap the contents of any shampoo and you wouldn't know it.

[Alicia Krause]

I'm going to disagree on the shampoo, but I will, I'll add it. I'll add an addendum though. Makeup, 1000%.

[Adam Carolla]

You're gonna disagree on the shampoo?

[Alicia Krause]

I disagree on the shampoo. Cause I have tried the things and it is different. But with makeup, is this different or

[Adam Carolla]

just different in your crazy female hair?

[Alicia Krause]

No, it's different in how like my hair like falls or if it looks clean or not or if it falls

[Adam Carolla]

out clean or not. You don't think the suave shampoo would make your hair look clean?

[Alicia Krause]

It dries it out and it like then starts to fall and get brittle and like heat sensitive and stuff.

[Adam Carolla]

So John Stossel's a liar.

[Alicia Krause]

Maybe back then he wasn't. How long ago was that? 20 years.

[Adam Carolla]

That was a long time ago.

[Alicia Krause]

So now I think a lot of hair companies are more like Earth conscious and like Maha conscious of stuff. But I have girlfriends that are estheticians and professional hair and makeup people and they say all the time, they're like, oh, don't spend all the money on the Chanel, the label. Buy this. Don't spend that money on Bobby Brown. The same chemist that did that formula works for this company that you can get at Target or cvs.

[Adam Carolla]

Uh huh. So it may be the makeup then.

[Alicia Krause]

Yep.

[Adam Carolla]

I'm gonna go shampoo too. Makeup and shampoo versus the vodka, which no men can.

[Alicia Krause]

This is my Costco Vodka taste a

[Alicia Krause]

So Netflix is a joke. Was all over LA last week. Went to a couple of events that was super fun. And there was the live roast of Kevin Hart.

[Adam Carolla]

Yes, I saw a lot of that.

[Alicia Krause]

Did you? I didn't watch any of it.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, I had a thing. It was good. Everyone was good. Everyone does a good job now because, okay, the first roast I did was Hugh Hefner in New York and that would have been 01 or something like that. But here's how they used to do the roast. Everybody shows up with their own pile of jokes. And you don't share your jokes and you don't run your jokes. You just show up with your own pile of jokes. When I say pile of jokes, I mean three by five cards with the jokes. And then you sit there with your own pile of jokes on the dais and there's, you know, 12 roasters or nine roasters or 13 roasters. And if you are going last, if you're going in the second half, you're going number eight out of 12. You're gonna hear a lot of your jokes get used as you go along. No one stole the joke, but there's just so many. Hugh Hefner, Pam Anderson or whatever.

[Alicia Krause]

His mind is kind of in the same spot with famous people, I think.

[Adam Carolla]

It's not that their mind is in the same spot, per se, it's that you, Alicia Krause, we don't have. What do we got with you? Well, we got homeschooled and that one DUI you never talk about. And so keep in mind, there's gonna be 13 DUI jokes before I get up there with my DUI jokes.

[Alicia Krause]

Fake news.

[Adam Carolla]

And some of them are just gonna sound almost the same as yours. Cause where we go going, you could

[Alicia Krause]

do dumb blonde, you could do College dropout, you could do has a lot of things.

[Adam Carolla]

So there would be. Here's what I would say. So if that was true, homeschool dui, then somebody would go at homeschooling. You should have taken traffic school. And then I'd have to tear up my DUI homeschool joke because it was too close to that joke. So now. And also, they didn't have writers really back then.

[Alicia Krause]

You just wrote, you did it yourself.

[Adam Carolla]

And they had no time limit. I was up there with Dick Gregory, a comedian, civil rights activist. He turned the thing into like a 30 minute gathering. It was like a church gather. He was talking more about human rights than he was telling jokes.

[Alicia Krause]

It's like the Al Sharpton of comedy.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. Now what they do is they go, look, everyone, we're gonna know everyone's jokes. So there's no repeats and there's no having to throw this one out or you'll know in advance.

[Alicia Krause]

So the producers know, or everybody that's up on the dais knows.

[Adam Carolla]

The producers will know. But also everyone will run their act and they'll time their act and they'll go, you got five minutes or seven minutes or whatever it is. And they'll put it on a prompter versus you with all the cards. So now you can.

[Alicia Krause]

Now a lot of them are live too, so that you're more constrained. Where before they were all edited, right?

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. Even then it was like, no one wants four hours. You had to pee and everything. So they figured it out. Now they go, they do five minutes, they go, here they have a countdown clock. They run it tight. Everything you need is on the prompter. Go run it at home, you know, take the script home, memorize it Tweak it, fix it, put it in the prompter, get up there, deliver it. Don't look down.

[Alicia Krause]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

At your notepad. And it's a much better, cleaner way to do it. Now, I especially watched because I was with Jeff Ross, the roastmaster the Friday before, went out with Kimmel and cousin Sal. I think I told you this. But as Jeff was on his way to go run his set at the Comedy Store, which is now also something you would definitely do, which we didn't. No one would do back in the day, you just go out and try the jokes and see if it worked or it didn't work, but you didn't get to run it. And so then Jeff. So then, as tradition would have it, Jeff gave his set list, which is about eight pages, to probably be thinned out a little, and he gave it to cousin Sal, who then reads it to the table, and then. He gets a reaction to it. Cousin Sal did a good job. So then I sat there. I was just eating and drinking and listening and enjoying it, but I don't know what happened, but a joke popped into my head, a Kevin Hart joke. And the reason is I didn't have tons of thought about Kevin Hart, but he was doing a whole run about how puny Kevin Hart was and about how little Kevin Hart was. And then. So I gave him a joke that just popped in my head, and then the whole table, I kind of laughed, and they all kind of looked at me, and they were like, that's a good joke, by the way. Good roast jokes are. They're hard to come by. That's what gold. You know, in terms of roast jokes, you'll end up with 156 or sevens, but they're not that many nines or tens. And so he was doing the whole thing. We can't play the clip because they might flag us, but I'll just tell you the joke.

[Alicia Krause]

Okay.

[Adam Carolla]

Which, if you watch the roast, he led with my joke, which I was super stoked about. The joke was, again, it was the theme of how small

[Alicia Krause]

Kevin is.

[Adam Carolla]

Kevin Hart is. It was basically Kevin. Kevin came onto the scene, or he burst on the scene after Michael Jackson dangled him over that balcony. Which is funny because actually. And also, I looked it up. The timeline kind of worked out.

[Alicia Krause]

It was the same.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, it was like it would have been. I'll put it to you this way. When Michael Jackson did that to his kid, Kevin Hart was 23. So he was just kind of coming up at the time. And then everyone knows the visual the kid. And the kid has a sack over his head, so you couldn't tell if

[Alicia Krause]

it was Kevin Hart or not, if

[Adam Carolla]

that's Kevin Hart or not. So got a big laugh and got a big pop. And I. Now, here's the thing that's interesting. I was interested in watching the roast, and everyone did a great job, but I was very. The way I'm wired. I was, like, really excited about Jeff doing my joke because we were just at dinner and I just threw it out. And I thought he'd kind of go, yeah, funny, funny stuff. But he has his whole list and he has writers. But I was totally happy that he went and did it out of the gate.

[Alicia Krause]

I think that's a cool thing about, like, comedy specifically, that I haven't always experienced in political commentary is how much I feel. I mean, obviously there's some major feuds that people know about between comedians, but broadly, when I interact and engage with comedians or friends of married comedians and stuff, like, people kind of support each other and shoot the shit and hash out those ideas and those thoughts and stuff and encourage one another in that maybe sometimes in a bro y way or a roast type way.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, I might have an answer. You're sitting at a table. You got Jimmy Kimmel. He's a late night host. You got Jeff Ross, the king of the roast. You got cousin Sal. It's all sports and gambling with him. And then you got Adam Crowell as a podcaster and a standup. So nobody's really pinching anyone's territory. So you can. I can throw out a roast joke to him because I'm not doing the roast. But also in comedy, I mean, if your arch enemy gives you a good roast joke, you'll take it and run with it, but your arch enemy is not going to offer it up. I get it. All right, so we can't play clips. Do we have anything else?

[Alicia Krause]

Ooh. Well, according to the Independent New York Post, everybody, there were jokes from Epstein to bashes on Charlie Kirk.

[Adam Carolla]

They went there with everything.

[Alicia Krause]

Sheesh.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, they. It is now. It's a new world order. Well, it's no different than the airport. If you took a look at the. If you. If you took a look. We should make a meme, Andrew. It's basically like the meme is a bunch of people who look like Dean Martin walking around the airport. This is the airport in 1965. This is a roast in 1965. This is the airport in 2026. It's fat black chicks fighting. And this is what a Roast is like. It's basically, it just devolved into a total free for all. But it is in step with our society.

[Alicia Krause]

Like Chelsea Handler going after Shane Gillis, Asian joke, and then him going after how many abortions she's had.

[Adam Carolla]

There were 26. Pete Davidson, your dad died in nine. 11 jokes.

[Alicia Krause]

Oh, my God.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, it's just on. I will say this. I will say this with everyone who needs to do this. Everyone, listen to me. The only problem with the roast is there were a couple of, like, fat Shane Gillis jokes and a couple Shane gypsums, Shane Gillis titties and stuff like that. Shane has lost £40.

[Alicia Krause]

Yeah. So it doesn't work anymore.

[Adam Carolla]

Right. And so I told you guys, the Baldwin roast. I did. I was going after Griffin. Wait, see, the basketball player, the clipper, the famous clipper. It's now on all the commercials and stuff. I don't think was named Blake Griffin. Blake Griffin. I was going after Blake Griffin, basketball player. And everyone's like, you're going right after him. So load up on how bad Blake Griffin was. And I go, well, what if he's good? And they're like, he's a basketball player.

[Alicia Krause]

I was like, how good can he be?

[Adam Carolla]

He could be good. Cause you get good writers and you put him in the teleprompter and the person just goes home and memorizes, you know, reads it. Yeah, he could be good. The same writers are writing for him, riding for everybody else. You know what I mean? So I'm like, no, I'm not gonna load up a bunch of how bad he was if he goes out there and gets a bunch of laughs. And if you're gonna do a bunch of fat Shane Gillis jokes, you better make sure that Shane Gillis hasn't shed those pounds.

[Alicia Krause]

I follow the man on Instagram. He's definitely shed them.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, you do?

[Alicia Krause]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

How much is he?

[Alicia Krause]

I like to show tires too.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, yeah. I mean, he. He's a big dude, and he could be down 35 pounds. So you gotta crash. You gotta scratch your shoulders.

[Alicia Krause]

Make sure he doesn't have the man boobs before you take. Make the man boob joke.

[Adam Carolla]

Make sure he has the man boobs. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Right? All right, let's go. What do you got? Another subject.

[Alicia Krause]

Okie dokie. So we have. Speaking of basketball players, do you remember. Well, I'm sure you remember when Magic Johnson had a night show, late night show.

[Adam Carolla]

I did. He's endorsing Karen Bass.

[Alicia Krause]

He's endorsing Karen Bass now that guy.

[Adam Carolla]

I feel bad for black people because they just have to kind of stick with their own all the time with just. Even if they suck.

[Alicia Krause]

Here's the video of him endorsing Karen Bass.

[Adam Carolla]

There's a lot of that in our world. There's a lot of that, yeah. In the black community, sure.

[Alicia Krause]

I think that it's all communities, though. I think, like, you get people that.

[Adam Carolla]

All right, I'm right. Here we go. Play the clip.

[Alicia Krause]

He said I'm right.

[Adam Carolla]

Hold on. You're absolutely right. White people do it. That's why white people vote for.

[Randy Couture]

Wait a minute.

[Adam Carolla]

White people are voting for Spencer Pratt because he's white. You're right. You're 100% right. Here we go. 30 years, she sustained the first ever consecutive decrease in homelessness. Homicide rate is down. New housing units, 40,000. I mean, she's doing a tremendous job. She's not.

[Alicia Krause]

But then she comes out at the end and hugs him. Well, by the way, he's a resident. Justine Bateman pointed this out on X, and she's right. Like, he's a resident of Beverly Hills, which I have friends that live in Beverly Hills. Not knocking Beverly Hills, but, like, they have their own mayor. They're their own incorporated city like Glendale or Burbank. So why. And I get, like, he owns teams and businesses in Los Angeles, but maybe he should be talking to the fans that want to bring their families to those games about how safe they feel doing so in Mayor Bass's la.

[Adam Carolla]

I mean, first off, celebrity endorsements don't work anymore, but for sure. But Magic, you know, Magic, the LA icon. It's funny, someone was talking about he had the worst talk show in the world out there. The Magic Hour. A long time ago. Former talk show host. I've always said to everyone, and I really mean it, I go, look, Magic Johnson. So people go, give this guy a talk show because he's so beloved and everyone loves him and he's popular and everyone knows his name. This is a layup for a talk show. I said to everybody, and I've always said about it, but think about this and be careful. He is Magic Johnson, the beloved Laker, the All Star, and the winner, who everybody wants to get close to. But five minutes into the opening monologue of the Magic Hour, he ceases to be that and now transforms into the world's shittiest talk show host.

[Alicia Krause]

Yeah, you have to have some on air immediately.

[Adam Carolla]

You immediately do not think of him as that guy. You just go, this guy sucks at this job, so be careful. Because you think we're just going to slide right in because everyone knows who is. Yes, everyone will think of him as the worst talk show host ever. And that's how it works. And now we can keep both those thoughts, we in our heads.

[Alicia Krause]

You have friends in the music industry. I have like friends and family in the music industry. And there's been kind of like a similar debate when it comes to the can the person who is TikTok music famous become like a real star? Like, can they do live shows?

[Adam Carolla]

Can they do. Yeah, comedy works out sometimes.

[Alicia Krause]

And some. Yeah, with comedy too. I mean, who is it? Marcello Anthony? Like that. It kind of started and then moved over. But not all people have that.

[Adam Carolla]

I hear club owners complaining all the time because they go, these guys are super popular and they can't do 15 minutes. They can't, they don't have an hour, they don't have a half hour.

[Alicia Krause]

An unspoken thing that we noticed whenever certain hosts would fill in for Hannity is they would be so guest and caller heavy.

[Adam Carolla]

Right, right, right.

[Alicia Krause]

And I mean, you can monologue, you could write.

[Adam Carolla]

Are you talking about the radio?

[Alicia Krause]

For radio or even podcasts?

[Adam Carolla]

Most people think Hannity tv, Hannity radio,

[Alicia Krause]

where I worked for seven years. And you'd have some fill in hosts that were just, just like Sean, they were good at it and they could monologue for 20 minutes and then maybe take some callers or talk to Speaker Johnson or something. Right. But then you have some people that's like, they kind of knew it was a big shot. They were from a local market and they weren't used to doing that. And so they'd give me like a list of 10 guests and it's like, like just callers, callers, callers, callers to fill that time.

[Adam Carolla]

All right, what do we got next?

[Alicia Krause]

Okey dokey. So liberals tried to make Spencer Pratt look bad in this ad that they say is an attack ad.

[Adam Carolla]

This is, this is the greatest ad ever.

[Alicia Krause]

Spencer Pratt.

[Adam Carolla]

I know.

[Alicia Krause]

Amazing.

[Adam Carolla]

It's great. We might have to start and stop here. We'll play it through once and then we'll go through it. Just absorb everybody. Republican Spencer Pratt is the last thing Los Angeles needs for mayor.

[Alicia Krause]

Pratt opposes using taxpayer money to build brand new houses for our unhoused neighbors, saying it's time for the homeless to

[Adam Carolla]

get help or get out.

[Alicia Krause]

Pratt thinks LA needs thousands more police

[Adam Carolla]

officers rather than more social workers.

[Alicia Krause]

And Republican Spencer Pratt thinks public employee unions should have less power, not more.

[Adam Carolla]

LA is on the right track and needs to stay the Course, vote no

[Alicia Krause]

on Republican Spencer Pratt.

[Adam Carolla]

I have no idea why these people don't hear themselves. Well, first off, people have gotten to the sad and they're like, what do you mean? We want more cops and other parties. They go, what do you mean? These public unions are too big and they're controlling government. Now. The teachers unions are why our schools were closed because they have too much power and too much control. And then the other one is homeless are gonna build new houses for homeless. But the reality is, the most damning part of this is we need to stay on track and stay the course. That's the most damning part of this whole ad.

[Alicia Krause]

Out of touch.

[Adam Carolla]

You have no idea. Let me just hear that right there.

[Alicia Krause]

That they think L. A is on the right track.

[Adam Carolla]

Louisiana is on the right track, Louisiana is on the right track. Nobody agrees with that. Why are you saying that? That was, that was really paid by Los Angeles. Unions opposed it.

[Alicia Krause]

Yep. That's amazing. AFL cio, baby.

[Adam Carolla]

That's amazing.

[Alicia Krause]

Got to keep the grift going.

[Adam Carolla]

So he wants to build, she wants to build, by the way, unhoused neighbors. When you hear unhoused, look, if you have to clean everything up and sanitize everything and use euphemisms to describe things, that means you're hiding something. They're not unhoused neighbors. There are no unhoused neighbors. First off, they're not our neighbors. They're from Indiana and they're from Kentucky. And then number two, who unhoused them? Where's your old house? What happened to the house? Hey, bro, did you get lost? Where's the house? What happened to your un? You were in a house and then you got unhoused. So how did you get unhoused? And by the way, when can we expect to be unhoused? Cuz I'm housed.

[Alicia Krause]

I think most people watching this out are like, when can I expect to pay for that nice looking complex with a gated playground where unhoused people can't shit next to my kid.

[Adam Carolla]

Go, girl. You know another thing, regarding the amount of police you will see in upcoming debates, people like Nithya Rahman will be saying that the budget for the police has gone way up. And the reason why the budget is up is because we have to pay so much overtime because. Right, we don't have enough police. Right? And she'll, she'll fold. She goes from defund the police to police. But here's what I want to say about all the socialists and everyone on Lyft. Why are you pretending to act sane so you can get elected. And by the way, if you're just pretending to act sane so you can get elected, well, maybe that's what people want.

[Alicia Krause]

Yeah, maybe you should be representing what the constituents need.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, so they show. It's funny, they show nice houses and nice condos and nice suburban homes, like single family, 3,000 footers. They want to build that for free. Is there any concept that Karen Bass or Gavin Newsom or anybody else could just build nice clean housing at a low budget and have these people move in? I play it again because it's, it's, it's insane. Republican Spencer is a Republican thing. Los Angeles needs for Mayor Pratt opposes

[Alicia Krause]

using taxpayer money to build brand new

[Adam Carolla]

houses for saying it's time for the homeless to get help.

[Alicia Krause]

Because getting help is the worst thing. LA needs thousands more police officers rather than more social workers and Republican sponsor practice.

[Adam Carolla]

But does social workers ever do anything on public transit? Safety ambassadors, guys wearing orange vests and having pads so you can tell them your problems while they're getting hit with a machete. Jesus Christ.

[Alicia Krause]

I love the fully staffed schools and smaller classes as they oppose parental involvement and accountability. That's lovely. So speaking of the attack on Spencer being a Republican, he responded to this in an interview recently. He was like, listen, I don't care what people are like. All of my friends and family are Democrats. Like, I'm supposed to represent the city.

[Adam Carolla]

We're so bad that we're like the guy with all the smart ideas. That sounds great, except for he's a Republican. So what are we going to do? Well, we have to go with the crazy communist lady like we have for the last 15 years. Yes, that's worked. All right, wake up, people. All right, let's see. This Thursday, Covina at the Laugh Factory. Big guest, major guest, massive guest. Tell you all about that. Also then Visalia, Fox Theater. And then Saturday, Modesto, a theater at the State Theater. And then a couple of shows, Costa Mesa, Westwood coast. That'll be May 24th. That'll be soon. Why shouldn't I work right through that Damn weekend? Go tomcroll.com for all live shows. What do you got?

[Alicia Krause]

Oh, Cash me over on, you know, Daily Wire, in the Socials, and maybe cnn, Fox News this week.

[Adam Carolla]

And until next time, Adam Crowford, Alicia Krause and Randy Couture saying mahalo. Pick up your phone and leave us a voicemail. The number is 888-634-1744. And get tickets to see Adam Corolla. You can get [e-mail]. At first I didn't think it was real.

[Randy Couture]

I woke up to this blinding light and I was transported to another place. Pluto tv.

[Adam Carolla]

Then I heard a voice. Come with me if you want to live. There were thousands of movies and shows and they were all free.

[Randy Couture]

Truth is, it's just so Beautiful on Pluto TV. Free streaming of Terminator 2, Fringe Arrow, the 100 and the X Files may cause excitement, loss of sleep and sudden belief in extraterrestrials. No credit cards or alien encounters necessary. Pluto TV Stream now pay Never.
