The episode weaves stories of physical mishaps, generational divides, societal softness, and political drama — capped off with news updates and a few viral moments dissected for their deeper meaning.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Aging, Physical Decline, and Changing Lifestyles

[03:17–19:43]

• Adam & Sam open by joking about feeling old and the brutality of trying to do “young man” activities (rowing machines, dirt bikes) well into middle age.
  • Adam recounts a recent crash on a dirt bike after not riding for 30 years, leading to “the shower fully clothed” metric for a rough weekend.

    “How many times have you taken a shower while fully dressed? That means you’ve lived a rough life.” — Adam (06:45)

  • Both share tales of recent injuries and the feeling of being far from their youthful physical prime.
• Philosophy of Aging: Adam contrasts his own experience with his father’s steady, uneventful hobbies (“reading and walking”), noting:

  “If your hobbies are reading and walking, then there is no depreciation between 40 and 80.” — Adam (12:50)

2. Generational Shifts & Cultural Contradictions

[14:30–23:05]

• The pattern of children rebelling, or not, against their parents’ politics and culture (“kids of lefties seem to go even further left!”), turning into a critique of why traditional signs of rebellion or conservative backlash seem less common among modern progressives’ kids.

  “Why are there no prominent kids of lefty Democrat politicians who went hard toward God, guts, and guns?” — Adam (15:13)

• Aging and Lost Opportunities: Both lament how “doors start closing” as you age, but Adam notes that having your passion in physically intense activities means you feel loss more acutely.

3. The “Wall,” Female Aging, and Social Privilege

[21:12–23:05]

• Sam details the journey of women’s social power and the eventual arrival of “the wall” (an end to youthful privilege), relating it to a sudden dropping off of social invitations and desirability, paralleling men’s athletic decline.

  “The phone stops ringing at some point, the invites stop coming. Not that people don’t like you, just people’s worlds get smaller.” — Sam (21:42)

• Adam uses the bouquet/fresh flowers metaphor for social desirability—a notable, if slightly edgy, comparison:

  “It’s almost like they may be a better bouquet, but we’re always into the fresh cut flowers.” — Adam (22:55)

4. Hot Takes on Modern Society: Grievance Culture, Permits, and Social Softness

[29:50–38:56, 42:45–68:39]

• Grievance Culture: Adam and Sam rail against what they see as a grievance-focused, victim-centric youth and media culture.

  “They are a grievance culture. That grievance culture just wants to have a beef, and it just continues to go … as soon as they get what they want, they move to the next thing.” — Adam (66:34)

  • Adam’s core critique is that there’s no finish line for culture warriors; victories only lead to new battles and “invisible problems” like “systemic racism.”

• Permits and Bureaucracy: Adam compares the libertarian ease of building in Texas (“no permit process”) with California’s endless red tape, viewing it as emblematic of a country leaning into overregulation and governmental control.

  “No permit process. ... And I thought, oh my God, what a utopia. You get to build shit.” — Adam (54:04)

• Masculinity Culture Wars: Adam calls coastal L.A. “pussy culture” versus Texas “dude culture” (“boots, beards, buckles”), as a running visual of societal contrasts.

5. Double Standards & Identity Politics

[30:25–32:06; 85:03–88:50]

• Exploration of why certain identity “clubs” (race, gender, age) seem to have more cachet now, using examples from TV, demos, and culture.
• Criticism of media’s insistence on young, woke hires and the resulting “janky” TV and loss of institutional wisdom.
• Riff on gender representation in media and sports:

  “ESPN cannot shoehorn enough women into every show … like, we can’t get one guy on The View? Just one dude who likes to bang chicks?” — Sam (85:10)

---

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• Adam on accidental aging:

  “I just realized I hopped on that bike like I just got done riding last weekend … and I haven’t been on a dirt bike in 30 years.” (07:06)

• Sam on physical decline:

  “I’m just walking wounded now.” (03:43)

• Adam’s social parabola:

  “Your options … doors start closing. They start pulling stuff off the tray.” (20:44)

• On “grievance culture”:

  “There is no finish line because they’re a grievance culture, not a process-get-it-done culture.” — Adam (66:34)

• On Hollywood executives:

  “They started getting rid of all these older execs, all these older show writers, and just started bringing in young people … They really don’t know.” — Sam (33:53)

News & Trending Topics Segment (with Timestamps)

Marjorie Taylor Greene Drama & Political Spin

[81:29–85:39]

• Trump's mixed signals to Marjorie Taylor Greene: Commentary on political “breakups,” shifting alliances, and Trump’s facts-blurring approach.

  "He sounds like a crazy ex: ‘She was the worst, but man, I miss her.’" — Alicia (82:07)

• Why does The View never hire straight men?

  “This show is how old? 40 years old. And there hasn’t been been one straight guy on the show.” — Sam (85:10)

Youth, Kindness, and Modern “Niceness”

[77:55–80:57]

• The Starbucks “kindness” campaign sparks a debate on the difference between being truly kind and performative niceness.

  “Kindness… It should be in your bone marrow more than ‘nice,’ but we’re taking kind and we’re beating the shit out of it now.” — Adam (79:51)

Airline Etiquette and Public Decorum

[90:05–98:53]

• Dressing for travel: Discussion of a proposal for basic dress codes on planes—a nostalgic call-back to more formal times and a critique of “pajama culture.”

  “LAX looks like a hotel where somebody pulled the fire alarm at 4am…” — Adam (92:41)

• The chaos of boarding & deplaning, etiquette, and “fart bazookas” (Sam’s phrase for BBL-enhanced butts in his face).

Nickelodeon Scandals and Child Star Tragedies

[99:41–104:33]

• The Amanda Bynes/Dan Schneider rumors surface, leading to a broader conversation about predatory men in children’s entertainment and the failings of the industry.

  “I don’t trust any dudes who do kids’ entertainment … if you’re a dude who doesn’t have kids and you do children’s entertainment, that’s creepy to me.” — Sam (104:05)

• Adam’s take on the skill level of children’s authors:

  "Dr. Seuss, Cat in the Hat … I could shit that out, drunk at four in the morning. So don’t give me this hero shit." (105:37)

Tone & Style

The conversation is bold, irreverent, and unfiltered — just what Adam Carolla fans expect. The jokes land hard, the rants veer from anecdotal to philosophical, and the trio dig into politics, social norms, and media with equal parts mockery and curiosity. Carolla’s signature blend of skepticism and humor pervades, with Tripoli serving as a perfect foil: prone to asides, streetwise digressions, and his own brand of equal-opportunity cynicism.

---

Takeaways

• Aging is inevitable, but how you feel it depends on your youthful pursuits.
• American culture’s pivot towards victimhood/grievance is critiqued as endless and self-perpetuating.
• Generational, political, and gender divides in media are rife with contradictions.
• Social performance — masquerading as “kindness” or “inclusion” — is often hollow.
• Double standards in activism, law enforcement, and media coverage are ripe for comedic and critical scrutiny.
• Cultural nostalgia for self-reliance and masculinity persists, especially as a counterweight to perceived social softness and bureaucracy.

[Dawson]

From Corolla One studios in Glendale, California, this is the Adam Carolla Show. Adam's guest today, Sam Tripoli. Plus the news with Alicia Krause. And now Sam can use the tin foil from his hat for Thanksgiving leftovers. Adam Carolla.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, get it on, Got to get it on. The trust of the enemy man nature get it on. Sam, Tripp Ripley in the studio. Good to see you, my friend.

[Sam Tripoli]

Always a pleasure, brother. Thanks for having me.

[Adam Carolla]

Now, it's funny you came in With a theme. And the theme was, not so young anymore. Feeling a little old. Feeling my age. Feeling a little beaten up. Can't do the stuff I used to do. And I had a long conversation with Dr. Drew about this on the phone on the ride in. And then I just got done doing shit I'm too old to do, and now I'm beat up. Yeah. So here we are.

[Sam Tripoli]

I, I, I. I got a rowing machine. And everyone's like, rowan's great. So I did 10 minutes, and I'm like, ah. I didn't feel anything. Then I did 20 minutes. I'm like, that's not that bad. So then the next night, I'm like, you know, I'm gonna try 30. And, dude, I'm wrecked right now. Back's jacked, legs burning. I'm just walking wounded now.

[Adam Carolla]

It's so funny what your body's used to and what it's not used to, because I do row, and I'm fine with it, but the other shit I try to do, that's when I feel it. And so it was an interesting philosophical conversation I was having with Dr. Drew. I hopped on a dirt bike, which is something I hadn't done in. It's weird, too, when you get old. You go, man, I haven't been on a dirt bike in 25 years. And then you go, wait a minute. Not 25 years. I was 22 when I jumped on a dirt bike. It was a while ago, and I went out trail riding, and I was fine. I hadn't been on a bike physically. And because I'm me, I just go, fuck this. I just jumped on it, took off, and at some point, we had to go down a steep ravine into a river, and I just dumped it. I just dumped it right in the river.

[Sam Tripoli]

Oh, my God.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, we need the photograph, Andrew, because this is me pulling it out of the river. But I just dumped it in a creek, and it was all silty and muddy, and it just grabbed the front tire. And the thing that fucked me up is I was at a guy's house in Texas and John Clay Wolf. And he goes, I'm just sitting in the back. There's like a barbecue. And he goes, come on, let's go for a ride. And I go, oh, okay. And I just walk over there, and he jumps on a quad, and I jump on a two wheeler. And he's like, come on. I'm like, all right. I haven't been on a bike in 30 years. You. And we go on this trail ride, and it's fine. It's a little hairy. Whatever. It's good. On the way back, we go a different way, and that has a river in it. We didn't do the river on the way out. We're just doing the trail. And now we're heading back in, and all of a sudden I come around a corner and there's a river. And I just go, fuck it.

[Sam Tripoli]

I just plow through.

[Adam Carolla]

The front wheel hits the silt, sticks in the mud. I go down.

[Sam Tripoli]

Did you go up and over?

[Adam Carolla]

No, I just went into a body of water in Texas. I was completely swamped. The front wheel was completely stuck. I jammed my elbow into the rocks. I put my thigh into the rock. It sucked. And then I got back, I was covered with mud. There's dirt in my mouth. There's dirt in my pockets. My glasses fell out of my pockets. You know, it was an old shit show. Got back. You know, it's one of those probably. You know, here's an interesting measurement. How many times have you taken a shower while fully dressed?

[Sam Tripoli]

Oh, that's a great question.

[Adam Carolla]

That means you've lived a rough life. Yes, because, like, at a certain point, I'm taking a shower outside of the guy's house, but there's. I don't want to take my sweat jacket off. It's the one. It's got the most mud on. I'm covered. Was shit. So I just go take an outdoor shower then.

[Sam Tripoli]

You want a shower and laundromat at.

[Adam Carolla]

The same time, Then go jump into his pool. And I gotta do a show that night. But anyway, I just realized I hopped on that bike. Like, I just got done riding last weekend or something. And I haven't been on a dirt bike in. I mean, it's been over 30 years. And I just jumped on it. I was like, let's do it. And bikes are pretty fast now.

[Sam Tripoli]

Dude, I've. I've dumped every time I've ever gotten on one. One time when, like, birds were big, they had, like, a bird that you could. You know those little, like, things you ride on?

[Adam Carolla]

The scooters? Yeah.

[Sam Tripoli]

They had it where you could sit down. So I'm like, okay, I'll get one of these kids. Or I'll do it. I'll do it. I. I had a little. About an hour in between shows. So I'm like, okay, I'll take this. I'll go get this. There's a Mediterranean restaurant I like down the street. So I'm driving it, right? And I. I kind of get out of the way of this woman is walking in between the ro. Like, sidewalks, road. So I. I swerve to miss her and I come back and I notice I'm so far out I'm going to hit the curb. So I hit the brakes and I go right over, right over, right on my face. And it's like. It's. It's. It's sunset traffic. Nobody stops, nobody. Nobody stops to see if I'm okay. This black guy comes up to me with napkin. He's like, damn, damn. And he just hands me napkins and walks off. That was all the medical assistance I got.

[Adam Carolla]

So here, napkins. So here's the question. Then it's like I said, I just went out trail riding and then jacked myself up and then had to go do the show that night.

[Sam Tripoli]

Oh, the worst.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, the worst. I mean, I can. I got. I got that going.

[Sam Tripoli]

Oh, my God.

[Adam Carolla]

I'm showing the elbow. I got the hematoma.

[Sam Tripoli]

Oh, dude.

[Adam Carolla]

I got the thigh hematoma.

[Sam Tripoli]

Oh, my God, bro.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, I know I was fucked up. But the show must go on. And, you know, it was kind of like I was kind of used to it. Cause back in the day, that was every weekend for me, you know, but it was fine. But then what happened was, is this guy who I co owned this Newman car with, he said the next morning I got the track rented out and we're gonna go take this Newman car out on the track. This race car. And the thing about race cars, especially Paul Newman race cars, Paul was a little guy. The seats are little. You gotta bend yourself into a pretzel to get in. And I'm not really saying anything in front of his guys, but I'd had this motorcycle accident 14 hours earlier, and I was hurting like the next day. And they're like, come on, get in the car. We got the track for an hour. And I'm like. I'm like, God damn. Like, my hip's bad. My elbow hurts. And I'm trying to fold myself to get inside this miniature car with the roll cage. And. And I'm trying to put my elbow on the roll cage to push myself in stuff, but I'm so up. But I can't tell them I'm no good to drive because they rented the track and brought the car.

[Sam Tripoli]

Oh, my God.

[Adam Carolla]

From 100 miles away.

[Sam Tripoli]

You're like James Bond, dude. You're doing motorcycles, race cars. You're banged up, dude.

[Adam Carolla]

So there's nothing more painful than. Than waking up the next morning after a motorcycle dang. And trying to stuff Yourself into a miniature. Miniature race car with roll bars everywhere. Like, I've never been in it before either, so I don't know if I put my feet in for. But I just climb along, and I'm like, oh, my elbow.

[Sam Tripoli]

But even if you weren't banged up, that seems like you're trying to get into a clown car at that point. It's, like, really small.

[Adam Carolla]

Paul's a little. Was a little guy. And all roll. All race cars have roll cages. And there's not like a swinging door on the roll cage. You crawl into a cage, eventually you learn the car. And when you learn the car, then you kind of learn, oh, I'll get in foot first, or I'll get in head first, or I'll put my helmet on after I get out.

[Sam Tripoli]

You're a big dude, man.

[Adam Carolla]

I mean, it was pretty tall. It was ungoddamn comfortable. But anyway, it looks like you're getting.

[Sam Tripoli]

In a car you bought your kids.

[Adam Carolla]

It was a Paul Newman 308 Ferrari, very rare. Took him for some hot laps, blah, blah, blah. But by the end of the day, they were like, you want to go? You want to get in the Lamborghini? I was like, you got any Tylenol? They're like, what? So anyway, I'm talking to Dr. Drew. So here's my question for you, because I think this is going to resonate with you. Dr. Drew was lamenting that he can't do the shit he used to do, and that he really wants to do the shit he did when he was young, but he cannot do it anymore. Like, it hurts. And I'm like, well, this is good timing. Cause I was just on a motorcycle, and I just dumped it. And that would fall under the heading of shit I can't really do anymore, right? So I said to him, I go, you know, I've always. I said this to Drew, but he never really listened. But this time, it made sense. I said. He said, it's such a bummer not being able to do the stuff I used to do. And I said, you know, my dad never did anything, so getting old for him was no big deal. And so I said, when my dad was 80, he was sitting on a sofa with a trumpet next to him, reading a book. And I can picture him at age 38, sitting on a sofa with a book and his trumpet. And when your hobbies are reading and walking, then there is no depreciation between 40 and 80. My dad was 80. What was he? If you got a hold of my dad when he Said and said, what are you up to today, Jim? He'd be like, going for a walk, gonna go home and read. Got my trumpet. That's it. But there's no snowboarding and there's no fucking in fighting and there's no motorcycle riding and, and there's no whatever it is you're not gonna be able to do anymore. He never did it, so there isn't a depreciation. And it's kind of weird. It wasn't even like, oh, man, back in the day, man, I could go all night, you know. Now, you know, a couple of beers and I feel it the next day. He didn't drink, he didn't fuck, he didn't fight, he didn't. He didn't. He didn't eat meat, he didn't eat steak. Like his life at 80 was the same as it was at 40. Simple.

[Sam Tripoli]

Simple, right?

[Adam Carolla]

There's no. I'm saying to Drew, well, it was like, yeah, my shit was boxing and building contractor shit. I can fuck around, but I can't get up on the roof and crawl around and walk that ridge rafter all the way across. One foot after the other. I can't lift the I beams and shit. I can't do that. That shit I can't do. I cannot go spar at the gym and stuff like that. But my dad was smart and that. He planned it out. His whole thing was sitting and reading.

[Sam Tripoli]

Yeah. Low expectations.

[Adam Carolla]

His life did not drop off at all at age, like, literally at 85.

[Sam Tripoli]

To 35, he's doing the exact same thing, living his best life. You're a great example about how, like I always say this. Whatever the parent is, the kid zigs. Zigs and zags. You know what I'm saying?

[Adam Carolla]

I don't want to cut you off, but I do often think about that with lefties.

[Sam Tripoli]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

I'm like, why is your fucking daughter and son not rebelling against your shit? Why are they further down the road than you? You know what I mean?

[Sam Tripoli]

Like.

[Adam Carolla]

Like Tim Walls and those guys like that, they're. They're fucking kids. Kamala Harris's step kids and all. I mean, maybe it's all just money.

[Sam Tripoli]

Maybe it's not universal, but.

[Adam Carolla]

No, it isn't. But it's so. It seems like when you're, when you're on the right, your dad, mom, God fearing, gun toting, Trump voting Christians, and then you go get the aggressive tattoos and sings and you go hard and then you're transitioning. You know, you always talk to these guys Fucking sons. Transitioning, God damn it. You know what I mean? But why are. Why are there no prominent kids of lefty Democrat politicians who went hard toward God, guts and guns?

[Sam Tripoli]

No. Maybe Jorge Soros kid is racist.

[Adam Carolla]

Now, that's all money. Yeah, I guess.

[Sam Tripoli]

I mean, politics be a little different in terms of when you're in Washington D.C. or in a powerful position. The kids realize that there's opportunity for them to get family business. Yeah, it's a family business. Here's the thing I've noticed. I tell. When I meet a young guy, I go, how old are you? And they'll be like, you know, I'm 27. I'm like, you got eight more years. 35 is when Rigamortis starts setting in. For the rest of your life, you're fighting it off. So you're not stiff corpse every day, right? So after 35, things start to start to change. Like I'm trying to do jiu jitsu. I go to this great school, 10th plan van eyes. I'm the oldest guy there by decades, dude. And I just get murked. It's. It's a. It's a great school. You got to learn how to get. You know, I'm getting murked by Mexicans, you know, but it's a young man's game, dude. It's a young. You want to do it? Your body says go. Like I'll be positions. I'll be like, oh, go there. My body's like, what? And it's like, the position's like.

[Adam Carolla]

But so here's what I'm saying. If my dad was at this guy in Texas barbecue, then he would have just drawn himself a glass of tap water and sat down. And if John Clay Wolf said, you wanna hop on the trail bike? He would've went, no, I've never been on a trail bike. I don't even know what the fucking trail bike is. I'm gonna sit here and drink this tap water. And he would never gone on it. For me. It was like the stuff. I will hop on a unicycle and try something stupid right now. Because I can ride a unicycle, but I can't ride a unicycle like I used to. Unicycle, yes. Like I used to.

[Sam Tripoli]

Why can't this guy do.

[Adam Carolla]

Come on, Dancing with the Stars. Andrew, get the.

[Sam Tripoli]

This guy can ride a unicycle. That is insane, dude.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, let me tell you. I'll tell you the thing. If you have innate balance, an innate balance is innate balance. So it's like, can't do voices, can't do dialects, can't do accents, can't roll my tongue weird and stuff. There's stuff I can't. But I have balance. And when you have balance, you just do shit. You just hop on stuff. So balance is interesting. Balance makes you good at stuff fast, but you don't even really get that much better. Like, balance you got or you don't. You understand things and you jump on things and you do things and it's. Yes.

[Sam Tripoli]

You did a unicycle on Dancing with the Stars.

[Adam Carolla]

And they outlawed props after my unicycle on dancing, Bro, you're. Yes, I'll play for you.

[Sam Tripoli]

That's insane.

[Adam Carolla]

Dancing. The pasa Do. Adam Corona and his partner, Julianne Huff.

[Sam Tripoli]

Bro, that is so cool you did this show. I want to vote right now. That is such fire, bro. That is.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, watch the dismount. Whoa. All right, we got it, man.

[Sam Tripoli]

That was fun. Dude, I am so impressed.

[Adam Carolla]

Wow. I didn't know you were that easily cycle.

[Sam Tripoli]

That is amazing.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, that's why I thought I could hop right on that motorcycle after 35 years and just take off.

[Sam Tripoli]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

And wearing shorts and. And here we go. But the thing that's interesting is so. It's like. So Drew has not regrets, but he's missing things. He's missing. He probably wants to go skiing, but he feels like, you know, that's tough.

[Sam Tripoli]

He works out a lot. He probably can't do the reps that he used to do for the mount that he used to do.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, well, he said to me, things are being taken away from him. So you're at a certain age, you're 20, and it's all there. You can fucking go all night, do whatever you want, get up three hours sleep, whatever. You can do all of it all night, and it's all there. And then at certain point, stuff gets taken off the table. You know what I mean? Like, oh, you thought you could be a professional kickboxer. You're 37. Okay, we'll take that one away. They never take away country music or comedy for some reason. I know guys in their 60s, you still think they can do it, but they start pulling stuff, you know, porn star. Okay, that's gone. All right. Sorry. You're probably not going to be a cop. You can't be a rookie at 37, you know, and they start. But there's still stuff on there.

[Sam Tripoli]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

You know what I mean?

[Sam Tripoli]

Your options. Doors start closing. Right.

[Adam Carolla]

And so they're taking stuff off. But my dad My mom never had anything on the tray, so it never felt like a loss. Like, if your thing is I like to travel, then you can always travel. There's no. That's always. If your passion is riding rodeo, then there's gonna be an issue. But if your passion is seeing the world, then you see the world. So you have to kind of think about this stuff that's gonna be taken away.

[Sam Tripoli]

Yeah, it's very interesting. You see that too with young people, especially, like young girls. Like when you're like 18 to like 32, the world is yours. And then, you know, there's that thing called the wall. And women start panicking about the wall, which I think is a great example, because women always like, it's a man's world, man. But I'm like, well, dude, the wall lets you show who really has privilege, right? And I'm watching all these, like, famous women, these wives of all these famous people, like, just throw their husbands under the bus, talking about what kind of they used to be. And it's like just kind of trying to remember back the glory days because it starts to fade and it's. I always. You always see women like, I don't want kids. I want to have these kids. I'm like, I'm just going to tell you, the phone stops ringing at some point, the phone stops ringing, the invites stop coming. Not that people don't like you, just people's worlds get smaller. But you see that, like, you can study like the, the journey of women, like when they're really young, they're just like crazy and wild. Then they hit about 25, they get a little bit more conservative, and then they hit their 30s and they become feminist. And then they get like into their late 30s, early 40s, and they become like soft core porn stars where like every picture they put on Instagram is like, why? Why are you showing us that? Yeah, trying to, trying to. Trying to show they still have a sexual marketplace, right? And it's not that you're not hot, it's just like 20 year olds are on their prime. Dude. It's the same thing with like Blake Griffin. Like, if Blake Griffin came in here right now, he would school both of us in basketball. But he's not the Blake Griffin he was when he got into the league at 20 years old. It's just again, they start taking things away from you. At some point you have to realize.

[Adam Carolla]

That, yeah, it's almost like they may be a better bouquet, but we're always into the fresh cut flowers.

[Sam Tripoli]

Yeah. 100%.

[Adam Carolla]

And even if that one who works as a server at Outback Steakhouse, she's fresh cut flowers. And you may in your prime have been an amazing bouquet, but you're still been around.

[Sam Tripoli]

I was in Miami and I went to a Dunkin Donuts and I saw the cashier, and I was ready to leave everyone I ever loved.

[Adam Carolla]

Right? That's. That's the point.

[Dawson]

Right?

[Sam Tripoli]

I will leave everyone I care about. You're so hot. Like, that's very powerful, dude. And just, nothing lasts forever, man.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. Also, it's a weird thing when hot chicks work pedestrian jobs because we always go, you don't need to do this. You don't have to do that. You don't have to do this. I was good looking when I was 22, but no one came up to me on a construction site. You don't give me that shovel. You don't need to do this.

[Sam Tripoli]

Yeah, for sure. When you see a hot chick at a bus stop, I'm like, You're just stubborn. You're just being stubborn. You don't need to do that, dude. There's some rich guy out there willing to take all your problems away. You're just being stubborn. That's all it is. Good for you. But you just don't have to do it.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, it is interesting that women are sort of running that sexuality thing into their 50s and 60s now. And it used to be that a woman sort of with some dignity, transitioned into, like. Especially when you find out, like, first year of Andy Griffith show, aunt Bea was 49. You know what I mean? They'd get a short, bouffant haircut. They'd start wearing a house dress around. You know, they wrap it up. They dressed, like, accordingly. Like, people acted their age. Like, when you saw. If you watch the Love Boat, the Love Boat would have the young ingenue Barbie Benton's come in there, and Landers twins and stuff. Like. And they'd be coming into 24, 25, and they were all sauced up, you know? But then they'd have the other women who had been around for a while, and they were, like, 52, and their hair was short and they weren't showing any cleavage. Like, that's how they did it back then.

[Sam Tripoli]

Golden Girls is a great example. I think all those women were in their 40s, and we were, like, looking at them like, my God, dude, they're, like, 80 years old. They were, like, in their 40s, man.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, also, people didn't live that long or lived a shorter period of time. So I wonder if it's some of that. But also, the mentality is people wanted to get old because there was some dignity in it. Like, okay, let's put it to you this way. If there are advantages to being something, then more people will identify as that.

[Sam Tripoli]

No, 100%.

[Adam Carolla]

Right. So we're living an era right now where we always go, you know what it's like being black in America. Yeah. Why are you identifying as black when your mom's Indian? You know what I mean? Okay. If it's so bad, why are you identifying as this thing? And then, by the way, if you're on the spectrum or you have Asperger's or autism, why are you.

[Sam Tripoli]

Your identity.

[Adam Carolla]

Why are we all trying to become this thing? And so being old came with perks. You got respect. People tended to listen to you. You would mind.

[Sam Tripoli]

Oh, they're much older than I thought. I thought they were all in their 40s.

[Adam Carolla]

Sorry. All right, so look, here's the point now. I'LL tell you what happened. I've been in round TV for a long time and it's always this, how you doing in the demo? Yeah, but how's he doing in the demo? You know what I mean? It's like, well, this guy's got the cum, he gets 2 million views. Yeah, but in the demo you're totally right. And I go, what's the demo? Demo is 18 to 19 and a half, you know. And I go, but why is that? And I go, listen, when I was 20, I was fucking poor. You could show all the Mercedes commercials you wanted. And I just sit there and look at them. I wasn't buying any of that shit. When I was 40, I had money, I could buy a Mercedes, you know what I mean? Like vacations, credit cards, life insurance, I'll buy. I was up for all of it. When I was 21, I wasn't buying anything but toilet paper and canned beans. So what is this? But they decided that demo, it's that young demo and somebody decided it. But that's what Madison Avenue wants, that young demo. So then we all went, okay, so it's good to be young. Cause they get rewarded. And that's why all the fucking music that gets played everywhere, at every mall and every store for 13 year old girls. And I'm like, I'm picking out tombstones at this place and I'm hearing fucking Katy Perry pumped in and I'm like, what the fuck is going on? We skewed it all. Young and so getting old didn't come with any advantages. I mean now, so back in the day, if you qualified for a senior's discount, like at a movie theater or Denny's or something, I can't wait. That was good. Now it's like, I don't need that shit, right? Two more years, right? So we put an emphasis on youth and we started listening to all the young people. And it turns out the young people are fucking dumb, dude.

[Sam Tripoli]

The only thing young people are good for 18 and over is having sex with everything else is just useless. And they're not interesting at all, at all.

[Adam Carolla]

I know, but every fucking politicians out there going, I talk to the kids. This is for the kids. It's the youth mamala, you know what I mean? Like they love, they love it. They're idiots. They're idiots. But it's our fault, cause we did it to our fucking selves. And a lot of this like, you gotta listen to your kids. How about every bitch that wins an Academy Award's gotta get up there and talk about their three year old teaching them more about courage than anybody has ever taught them about courage. Like, you fuck, I have kids. They didn't fucking teach me anything.

[Sam Tripoli]

100%. And you're.

[Adam Carolla]

Wait a minute, hold on. They taught me how expensive having kids are.

[Sam Tripoli]

I'm with you, dude.

[Adam Carolla]

That's what I learned.

[Sam Tripoli]

Never ends. It's a bottomless pit. I'm with you. It's really crazy, dude. And you know, and that's really where LA went, Hollywood went bad. They started getting rid of all these older execs, all these older show writers and they just started bringing in young people. They're like, young people have an understanding of this and that. And it's like they really don't. They really don't. And so I remember one of my friends, he's like, he's about my age, in his mid-50s, and he had to go pitch a show and he's got, he, he's been in the game so long, now he's pitching a show where he's somebody's dad or even a grandpa at this point, right? And so he's sitting in there, he's. And across him is like a 25 year old. And he's like, yeah, they're having fun talking. He's like, so when is, when is the person I'm pitching to coming to? And they're like, I'm the person, right? And it's, it's just like, what does that person know about entertainment at 25? You have to go through it to get to it. You have to understand the highs and the lows, work what doesn't work. And they've gotten rid of all that. So everything is janky along the way.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, and they also, there's something that we do which is totally flawed, which is we think you understand young people if you're young. We do the same thing with blacks. Like someone will turn to a black guy. What's it like out there with the community? He's like, I don't fucking know. I live in Encino, you know. No, but this guy knows, he's speaks. We think everyone speaks for this community and that community. They don't know.

[Sam Tripoli]

There's a great, there's like a local radio, sports radio show. And one guy's white, one guy's black, and the black guy's in his late 50s, maybe even early 60s, I'm not sure. But man, they have him do the latest song that dropped right. Like he understands like modern hip hop. And he's like, just listen to him try to talk about these songs and is the most hilarious thing ever because he doesn't listen to any of this. He's from an older jam, Michael Jackson, you know, Prince, all that Sam Cook, you know.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, so the other thing that was interesting, which is in the, in the, in the discussion of getting old and having things taken away from you. And in a weird way, it's kind of Zen to kind of die with no earthly possessions. I don't mean you don't own anything that's. You're not bound to anything. You're not sitting around going, I'm gonna miss my Paul Newman race car. When I'm gone, it's easier to get out without leaving. I mean, I guess I would. Let's look at it this way. When you get an emergency evacuation, like when you go, the fire's coming over the hill and you got 20 minutes to get out. The less shit you got in your house, the easier the evacuation. Mentally too. Yeah. You're sitting at the hotel, you're not thinking about all the shit that got left behind. I did have to evacuate Malibu, but I didn't have a bunch of keepsakes and important stuff there at that place. So when I left, it was kind of like, all right, well, it's gonna burn a lot of my clothes and shit, and I don't want it to burn down. But it's not these priceless one off keepsakey kind of thing. So my dad didn't have any of that shit in his house, you know, so when he left the earth, he wasn't living. But here's the sad part I was talking to Drew about. That goes for people too. Like, my parents didn't have the. My son, I'll never see him again. They're like, see ya. They didn't have. Or their grandkids or whatever. Like, you know, normal people would be like, I'm not gonna see my grandson graduate high school or college or whatever. They'll have that thought. But if you're not connected to them or anybody, then you can just shuffle off the mortal coil.

[Sam Tripoli]

Peace out. Peace out. So when I moved to la, I lived in a weekly. Then I lived in an apartment. Then I moved to another apartment. And this one apartment was just off Melrose. And it was a bunch of young people. And then some much older people lived there forever. And they were slowly dying off, right? And I would just remember that their kids would come in and take all their precious belongings and just throw them on the street.

[Adam Carolla]

Really.

[Sam Tripoli]

And it always goes, dude, don't like, as you're winding down, get rid of everything, dude, because your kids are just. Unless they can hawk it for a dollar, they're just. I mean, books everywhere, picture frames gone. They just didn't care. It was like, get rid of it. It's time to close this chapter. And that always resonated with me that, you know, you really shouldn't have a lot at the end. Like, some people. Some people, you know, you gotta downsize as you get older too.

[Adam Carolla]

Did you. Your parents around?

[Sam Tripoli]

Yep, both of them. One's in New York upstate, and then one's in Arizona.

[Adam Carolla]

How are they doing?

[Sam Tripoli]

My mom's doing great. They're getting older, dude. My dad is doing the best he can, you know, and he's got a black girlfriend that hates me for no reason. But besides that, it's great. Just hates me for no. I bring them flat screen television. She yells at me, I go, I don't. What. What am I doing here?

[Adam Carolla]

Does your dad make any money? Does he have anything?

[Sam Tripoli]

He gets retirement. He's like, yeah, he's like 8. He's about to turn 80.

[Adam Carolla]

What kind of job did he have?

[Sam Tripoli]

He was a teacher and he owned property.

[Adam Carolla]

How'd your mom do? How's she doing? She's great.

[Sam Tripoli]

I mean, she was a teacher too, and she gets a bunch of my dad's retirement and she's doing great. She won't leave the house. She will not leave the house. She just loves to stay home. We try to get her to come out west, see her kids. She won't do it.

[Adam Carolla]

Grandkids.

[Sam Tripoli]

Grandkids. Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. There's a weird thing where you just don't travel. You just go, I don't do it.

[Sam Tripoli]

I'm getting there, dude. I'm getting there with this travel, doing gigs. It's like a pain in the ass. I'm over it, dude.

[Adam Carolla]

We are. I know.

[Sam Tripoli]

Me too. I've been doing it 31 years. Might be time to wrap it up and call it a day. I mean, it's just like. It's a pain in the ass.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. You know, thankfully, I am blessed to enjoy doing it. Even the travel part, over the last few years, even more than I did years and years ago when I was sort of at home and had my kids at home and I wanted to be home and I really liked my home. Then I got divorced and the kids moved out and stuff, and I became like a little gypsy, you know? And then I started looking forward to just sort of wandering like. Like Cain and Kung Fu Flute, barefoot Walking through the Burbank Airport, just walking into dojos.

[Sam Tripoli]

Looking for a fight.

[Adam Carolla]

That's right. Well, saloons, but, yeah, I get you. Yeah. The funny. I don't know why I got so. I was just in. I was in Texas. I was all over Texas, right? I just got back. And last time I was in Texas, I got burned with Tex Mex. I got a Tex Mex burn. Another thing, too, is you realize I'm from California. I grew up in California. There's no better Mexican food than in California.

[Sam Tripoli]

It's better than Mexico, right?

[Adam Carolla]

And then you go to Texas and you go, let's get some real authentic Tex Mex. And then you realize, no, Lucy's adobe up the street is much better than this place. And so I always get disappointed. But I go there, it's about five years ago, and I go, we're going to get some Tex Mex. And I always order enchiladas. I love enchiladas. And I love cheese enchiladas. I don't like beef or chicken. I don't like adding stuff on. To me an enchiladas cheese with the sauce on. You can get a beef taco with it or chicken taco, whatever you want. But I like cheese enchiladas. So we're here about five years ago, and I get a cheese enchilada in Texas. And it comes with Velveeta cheese in it. Like a weird American cheese. And by the way, I gotta take three bites. Cause it's got sauce all over it. And I take like three bites. And I'm like, this is not. And it's American cheese. And I'm fucking disgusted. And then somebody explains that's what Tex Mex is, right? So. So I'm at. Now me and Mike August are out on the road and we want authentic Tex Mex. So he finds a place in Galveston. I don't even know where we were. I don't. And he finds it. And we sit down and I go order two cheese enchiladas. And the lady goes, okay. And she's got an accent. She's Mexican. I go, what kind of cheese is in that enchilada? And she goes, it's grated. And I go, it's grated? Yeah, but with the type of cheese. What kind of cheese? Grated cheese. I gotta film myself with every exchange I have with a human being. I realize. I go, no, no. The type. Like, what kind of cheese? I don't wanna get burned with the fucking Velveeta again is what I'M saying, just tell me what kind. And she goes, grated. And then there's that point, you know, no one knows what you're talking about. And then they go. They're gonna point to something on the menu, but it just says grated cheese on the menu. And then she goes, give me the menu. And at some point I just go, oh, fuck it. Just bring em.

[Sam Tripoli]

Just bring it.

[Adam Carolla]

Fine, I'll give it a five and a half. It wasn't Velveeta. I do. I do think the accent. People fall back on it a little bit.

[Sam Tripoli]

Yeah. When they just don't wanna deal with you. Be like, no, in glass. No, in glass.

[Adam Carolla]

No, they don't do that. They go, little in, but good enough in English. One time we had a guy pick us up in an SUV from New York. I went out there with the whole crew. We had five, six people. And we hired an suv and the guy picks us up at jfk. And we're driving back and we get through Queens. Dawson, were you there? And the guy pulls off the freeway and starts driving through this sort of dicey area through Queens. And then we stop at like a Kwik E Mart. And it's a little dicey, and it's kind of weird. We're all just sitting in the suv, and he goes, yeah. Yes, it'll be back. You know, he just takes off.

[Dawson]

He just disappears.

[Adam Carolla]

And he just disappears.

[Dawson]

And we're all still in the car.

[Adam Carolla]

We're all just sitting in the car. Like, we paid the guy to take us to the hotel, you know, we gotta do a show that night, you know, and somebody starts to dawn on us. He's taking a shit at the Quickie Mark Mart. And. But at some point he comes out, you know, and he gets in. We're sitting there for 15 minutes just looking around at this shitty Kwik E Mart, you know. And he comes out and he hops in. He goes, all right, now we go to the hotel, you know? And I go like, well, why did we stop? Yes, we go to the hotel, you know. And I go, yeah, I know, but no, you like, it's good, you know, you go, no, no, it's not good. I didn't want to stop here. And we go now to the hotel, you know. I know we're going to the hotel now. We were supposed. Yes, it's good, you know. And then at some point you go, oh, fuck it, you know, you just sit back.

[Sam Tripoli]

That's how I felt. I went. I went to do Stand up at a Jiu Jitsu tournament in Acapulco, right. So I fly in and you know, I don't know if you've been to an airport in Mexico, but don't make eye contact with them. They're tiny people. They don't like when you look at them. And it was so funny because I go through and they're like, over there. I'm like, what's going on? They're like, we're going to go through your luggage. We want to make sure you're not bringing anything in. I'm like, you're, you're making sure an American isn't bringing anything in the Mexico. Like that does. So I go through it, I get out and I'm like, I'm freaking out because everyone says they kidnapped down there, right? So I'm looking, I find my guy. I don't know how I picked him out of all the other guys, but we get him and man, we just keep driving. And I'm like, man, we're going so deep into this place. I'm seeing weird cryptids running around. I'm like, that's a chupacabra.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh yeah.

[Sam Tripoli]

And he, he's like, sucker. He's like, sucker. He's like, can they pull over for gas? I'm like, this is where they kidnapped me. This is the game. They pull over, they get gas, they kid, they kidnap me, they put me into sex trafficking. They get no money for me. I'm just, I'm just a throw in at that point.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, maybe you're managerial, you know what I mean? Like you're holding a clipboard parlor. Yeah, they need somebody's punctual, seasoned, you know what I mean? Responsible to run the sex traffic.

[Sam Tripoli]

Night shift manager.

[Adam Carolla]

That's right. It's not going to rip off supplies. Yes.

[Sam Tripoli]

I'm with you on that. That gets really shady when they just stop in the middle of nowhere.

[Adam Carolla]

Yes. Yeah. And again, I think I would probably fall back on it if I could, like the language thing. Like, she could have went to the fucking kitchen and went, what kind of cheese you putting in the enchiladas? But she didn't feel like walking to the kitchen. So about the third time she said, said grated or shredded? I just went like, yeah, yeah, okay.

[Sam Tripoli]

I remember I was working as a valet at a hotel in LA on Sunset, and there was just an annoying guest and she's like, she's like yelling at me and I just said, no, I'm blowing glass.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh yeah, you could probably pull that.

[Sam Tripoli]

Yeah. She goes, you don't speak English I go, nope.

[Adam Carolla]

I'll tell you the other thing I noticed in, in Texas, there's a dude mentality over there. It's sort of boots and beard kind of guys. Boots, beards and buckles, you know, big belt buckles and big beards. And I'm talking to 28 year old dudes with boots and beards, you know, and it's like they're dudes, you know, and they like it. They like the dude. Like they embrace the dude culture over there and here we embrace the pussy culture. Like just a bunch of soft ass dudes, you know, like super week, like tons. I don't think I saw one fucking dude with a bracelet on over there. I see guys in their 50s, like 28 bracelets on, like they're collecting and trading fucking bracelets. Like they're going to a Taylor Swift concert or something. And it's just dude. And they, they, they, they lean into it, like they love it. You know, they like the vibe, the dude vibe over there. And so I was driving through this town outside of Texas and the owner, by the way, you like this, Dawson? First place I played. No, sorry, I played three places. Second place, I played Gatlin Brothers coming in December 13th.

[Dawson]

Nice.

[Adam Carolla]

And winner, winner, this place. Ted Nugent coming in. Let's December 13th. I'm like, I should hang out for about three more weeks.

[Sam Tripoli]

I don't think anyone knows how big Ted Nugent used to be. He was huge.

[Adam Carolla]

His licks are the best.

[Sam Tripoli]

Like who used to. Oh, like you see who opened for.

[Adam Carolla]

Him, you're like, damn, they open for Guns and Roses. Open for.

[Dawson]

I saw, I saw Nugent when he was with the supergroup Damn Yankees with Jack Blades from Night Range and Tommy Shaw from Sticks. And their gimmick was at the end of the show, they all have to come back and drag Ted off the stage while he's still trying to play.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, yeah, Cove Pure. You know how hard it is to find a gift for people who keep it simple and don't want much? Well, I found Cove Pure. It's a countertop water purifier. And trust me, it is a game changer. I use mine in Malibu because now who knows what's going on with that Malibu water. One of the coolest things is you can get hot or cold water out of it or warm water on demand. No more waiting for kettles or microwaves. Super slow in the microwave, by the way. Always weird to me. Anyway, it also has sizes and presets so you can hit 16 ounces, four times a day and actually know how much water you're drinking, keep track of it. The water tastes amazing. Pure, clean, no weird aftertast. And if you're trying to cut back on your sugary drinks, this helps a lot. It looks beautiful. It doesn't take up much space. It's beautiful and it's slick. It's not bulky. That thing fits in right on the countertop. Even for those who really care about design, this will meet your criteria. Most importantly, Cove Pure is certified to remove up to 99.9 of contaminants, PFAS, lead, even arsenic. Purest water you can get. And if you want a gift that really matters this season, Cove Pure's the one. Am I right, Dawson?

[Dawson]

[Sam Tripoli]

Rush opened for Nugent.

[Dawson]

Wow.

[Sam Tripoli]

Damn, dude, those are killers.

[Adam Carolla]

And now he's playing the same theater I'm playing. So how the mighty are falling over there.

[Sam Tripoli]

Dude, it happens. God Takes a little bit off the table. A little bit off the table.

[Dawson]

So the fan base is dying.

[Sam Tripoli]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

I'm walking out there. So I'm talking to my buddy John, who owns the theater, owns the car place next to it, owns the restaurant, and it's this old Texas town. He's bringing it back, and it's all real cool. And he goes, I'm thinking about buying some land over here and setting up a shop over here, and I'm thinking about buying that place and converting it into a saloon and blah, blah, blah. And I'm from California, and I'm in the midst of Malibu. Fire permit, Palisades, you know. And I go, he just got this building. He turned it into a theater. And you got this thing. He turned it into a car dealership. And I go, I mean, what's the permit process around here? And he goes, no permit process.

[Sam Tripoli]

Oh, my.

[Adam Carolla]

I go, you just do whatever the fuck you want. Well, you gotta find out where the club was. And then it's.

[Sam Tripoli]

I'm ready to move there.

[Adam Carolla]

All right? But anyway, so then I go. I go, really? No permit process? He goes, no. He goes, when I was getting ready to convert this place into a theater, like a car dealer, whatever. He goes, I went and talked to the town guys, you know, the supervisor, whatever. And I said, I'm gonna take this place. I'm gonna rehab it. I'm gonna whatever. And he goes, the guy just said, don't fuck it up. And I thought, oh, my God, what a utopia. You get to build shit. You get to do stuff. You get to create stuff. And by the way, it's so much. People don't really realize. It's not only is it just more expensive, a lot of it's undoable. There's just a lot of it. They're not gonna let you do that. You're not gonna be able to open that theater or open that car dealership. They're not. They're not gonna let you do that.

[Sam Tripoli]

Yeah. I mean, it's. It's just crazy, the world we live in, like this sudden push for socialism everywhere. And, you know, it's just, like, crazy to me that Mandani got in. In New York, and when we've seen those policies in San Francisco, Portland, Louisiana. And it's just, you know, I do a joke about, like, not paying taxes, and everyone gets quiet. They're like, we gotta pay taxes. I'm like, why do we gotta pay taxes when we print all so much money? And then, you know, the fee of entry, too, is like, what you're talking about permits. It's just all big brother just holding you down, making it impossible for you to grow. And it's just, like, sad, dude. It's just sad that we, like, we have Stockholm syndrome. We love our captors.

[Adam Carolla]

Yes, there are captors. And you're so right. The government taking your money for some reason. And there's a tweet in there somewhere I put out for. People have no idea. They go, dude, I'm a better citizen than you. It's like, no, you're not. I pay tons of taxes. You don't pay anything in taxes. Like, you think you do more than I do. You don't pay anything. Like, to have this weird relationship with these guys. Gotta start. I mean, my mom was a hippie. My mom, when she was 80, said to me, rich people don't pay any taxes. I go, of course they pay. They pay all the taxes, by the way. You don't pay taxes. My mom doesn't pay. My mom never paid taxes. Walnut Springs, Texas. That's right.

[Sam Tripoli]

Let's go.

[Adam Carolla]

That's where I was. Ted Nugent on the marquee. And I'm still up on the marquee. Name spelled incorrectly. Fine. C O, R. Don't know why people don't just check that on their phone before they have that Internet.

[Sam Tripoli]

Walnut.

[Adam Carolla]

I had it. I don't know why, but I'll tell.

[Dawson]

You what, you didn't pull a Morrissey.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, I kept driving. No, when we. I will say this. We were gonna eat breakfast in Walnut Springs on the way out to the track. And I said, oh, we will get some fucking hash browns in this town. We ain't getting new potatoes or purple potatoes or breakfast potatoes or homo potatoes. We're getting fucking potatoes, hash fucking potato browns and huevos rancheros was on the menu. And I'm like, we're gonna order it and we're getting fucking huevos rancheros. We're not getting. Here's our sort of San Francisco take on huevos. And we scramble the EG and put them in an everything bagel, you know, like, no, no, we're going to get huevos rancheros. Like, 200 year old as God wanted it.

[Sam Tripoli]

I am so in, dude. Yeah, I am so in.

[Adam Carolla]

Me, too. Fucking got beans, hash browns and huevos rancheros and salsa. Ted Nugent there, December 13th. I'm telling you, the Gatlin Brothers are at the Big Barn. Do. Si. Do.

[Sam Tripoli]

How many people live in this city?

[Adam Carolla]

That come out, man, this place was packed.

[Sam Tripoli]

Like, if I move There as a Californian. Am I going to be shunned?

[Adam Carolla]

No, no. They like the troublemakers. They like a dude over there. And you're a dude.

[Sam Tripoli]

I'm in. Dude.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, it was so good. You can talk about buying acreage and building shit on it and just doing it.

[Sam Tripoli]

Just build. You don't run it by anybody.

[Alicia Krause]

Building.

[Adam Carolla]

Now you wonder why? Because it's your fucking land. Yeah, yeah, it's your land.

[Sam Tripoli]

The only permit you need is from your wife. That's it.

[Adam Carolla]

That's right.

[Sam Tripoli]

She's the only permit person.

[Adam Carolla]

She's barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen.

[Sam Tripoli]

And I love that women get mad. Oh, you just want us barefoot and pregnant. You're like, I think the only reason you don't like that is because you don't have shoes on. You love fancy shoes. I mean, you all get pregnant. You take a million pictures. Why are you upset with barefoot and pregnant?

[Adam Carolla]

There is a tweet that we have pulled aside, I think was about being a better citizen. Somebody was arguing with me like a week ago about being a better citizen.

[Sam Tripoli]

I love that. Mandani wants to get rid of billionaires as he's taking Soros money. It's like nobody stops to ask questions.

[Adam Carolla]

No, he's doing commercials asking people to donate money. It's so weird. They're all, here's the deal. You wanna know what it is? It's basically like every. It's like saying every politician does heroin. One group admits they do heroin and the other group says how bad heroin is, but slams heroin all fucking day. You live off heroin, but you talk about how bad it is all fucking day. And that's the bottom line.

[Sam Tripoli]

It's just Gavin Newsom's angles on his face has progressive women just mesmerized. They just. Just can't break free from that. Now it does not matter what comes out. Whether it's fires, the high speed rail, homeless, it does not matter. It just. And it's just this whole thing about, like, the theory of hate is 10 times worse than real world consequences. It's just, you know, the Mandani, they looked at the numbers. Progressive women from like 18 to 29, I think it was 80% of them voted for. For Mandani. And you're like, you know, it's like, I'm from a time where if you see a woman in trouble, you step in and protect her. But now you got to ask them who they voted for before you help them.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, they're all. It was like 82% or something.

[Sam Tripoli]

It's like, higher than 80% thing, dude. You know, again, it's called suicidal empathy. It's called where you vote against your own best interest.

[Adam Carolla]

Interest. Yeah, well, they don't really know it's against their best interest, I don't think, because they don't really ever see unintended consequences. They go, look, there's a community of people who participate in drug use, who need clean injection sites and no judgment zones. And they go, all right, come back in four months. Tell me, tell me it doesn't turn into a shit show. Yeah, 100%. It's always, here's what we're gonna do. I'll tell you what it is a little bit like, in a weird metaphor, my mom had this sort of like, let our front lawn, which she didn't wanna maintain or fertilize or mow or didn't wanna do anything. She had this sort of like. Like, let nature reclaim it. Because nature knows and nature knows. And in 10 minutes, it was dirt. It was just weeds and dirt. It was like three foot high. Weeds and dirt. That's the front lawn. It looked like shit. And there's this fantasy that nature will sort of kick in and everything will be sort of copacetic and it'll reach. It'll be buoyant or something like that. And I realized, no, if you want a nice looking front lawn, you gotta get on it, you gotta water it, you gotta fertilize it, you gotta maintain it. You gotta pick up the dog poop. Yeah, you gotta mow it. Like it's a.

[Sam Tripoli]

It's time and effort.

[Adam Carolla]

Three days a week you gotta be out there doing it. And then if you do it right, it'll just look beautiful. But you gotta work on it.

[Sam Tripoli]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

And when you step back and you go, just let nature sort of take its course. It turns into a shit show.

[Sam Tripoli]

Yeah, nature like, dude, I mean, like. Like, it's like. I remember I went to the zoo and I took a video of a bear walking, and it was like, walking around. I posted. It's like, it's going through that because it's in the zoo. And zoos treat animals like shit. I go, you know who treats animals worse than a zoo? Mother Nature. Okay. Mother Nature is brutal. So it's like, if you just let nature go, it gets, like, out of control. It's like high weeds, dirt, and animal violence everywhere.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, you know, it's weird. It's from the same craft who are, like, the indigenous people lived in peace and harmony with the earth. They did it for decades and millennial. They lived in harmony with the earth and with each other and in peace. And they're beautiful, friendly, lovely people. Lived in harmony with the earth. And then the white man showed up, and it's like, all right, that's not how any of it went.

[Sam Tripoli]

That's how it's sold to you. Like, they're scalping people. They're constantly scalping people. People. It's crazy. You know what else is weird? If you compare the demographic of women who vote progressive policies all the time, it lines up exactly with the same demographic that they've done statistics on, who. See who. Who they. They notice the most money is spent on. Meaning what demographic gets the most money spent on them? It's like women 18 to, like, 32. Who's. What demographic tends to vote progressive? Women, 18 to 32. So people are constantly throwing money at them all the time to make sure they're happy and secure and all that stuff. So they're allowed to wander into, like, these magical places, and they could be Don Quixote and fight windmills of racism and homophobia and climate change and all these things that statistically doesn't make any sense at all.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, especially coming up on 2026, you know, it's always so crazy that they still keep talking about it over and over again. And what they like is sort of invisible, fake problems that aren't really problems. And that's why they take the word hero and warrior and champion and they throw it around so fucking loosely because they're living in some fantasy of I'm okay. So there is a kind of a. There's a kind of reality which is, all right, you're gay and you're for Palestine Good. Now, you can march on the campus of Berkeley all you fucking want, but go down to the Golan Heights and walk around there, and you go into certain regions and get your rainbow. Get your rainbow poncho on and go walk it over there. They'll never do that. They'll never. Just like, they'll never make fun of Islam.

[Sam Tripoli]

Slacker. What's it called? Slacker activism or something, right?

[Adam Carolla]

So they know it's easy and they know it's safe. And then they call everyone heroes and rock stars and superstars. Ted Nugent's a rock star. You are not a rock star. You put a fucking gay poncho on and walked up and down on a Saturday. That's all you did. So what they do is they pick this frictionless activity. Like they know they're never going to really get an Ass kicking for this. They don't go fuck around with Muslims, right? They never fuck around with Muslims. All they ever do is talk about women equality, women's rights, a seat at the table, and then they go after Christians. But they never fuck with the group that fucks with women because they'll get killed.

[Sam Tripoli]

Yeah, violence for sure.

[Adam Carolla]

Sure. Right.

[Sam Tripoli]

And then you know what else it is? I've noticed maybe there's a couple issues this is applied to, but for the most part, there's no actual end zone. There's no actual goal line.

[Adam Carolla]

No, you go, hey, we've achieved it.

[Sam Tripoli]

Yeah, we know.

[Adam Carolla]

They can't.

[Sam Tripoli]

You know. You know, it's like everyone calls me conspiracy theorist. I'm like, well, you believe there's systematic racism, systematic sexism, systematic homophobia. You believe that people are conspiring against it. That's the real conspiracy.

[Adam Carolla]

It's true. And there is no finish line because they're a grievance culture. They're not a process. Get it done. Moving on, culture. So if you're a culture that wants to build something, as soon as you're done building one thing, you're looking to the next project. They are a grievance culture. And that grievance culture just wants to have a beef. And it just continues to go. And so what they'll do is they'll never go, listen, I just like to complain. What they do is they go, we got a real problem. And what is it? Gay marriage. Gays should be allowed to marry. And you go, okay, let them get married. And they go, okay. And then they move on to the next thing. Right, exactly. And it's certain point, by the way, for the grievance part, they will do shit where they'll go, why don't we do drag queen story hour for the kids at the library? And then you come in and you go, okay, listen, I don't want any of those fucking weirdos reading a cat in a Hat to my three hour. Oh, now we got a problem. They literally are the people who come up and kick you in the shin. And when you shove them, they go, whoa, we got a problem. Now, we didn't have a problem because we just wanted to walk, but you came up and you kicked us in the shin because you're a grievance culture and you don't even know it. Right. So everything to you is some callback to slavery or there was a time and, you know, all this kind of shit. But they're grievance people and they don't really know it. And they get what they want all along the way, because they never stop. They get the equality and they just move on to the next thing. And then eventually it's like radon gas. They invent something that's invisible. Well, they go, systemic racism. And you go, what rule what's on the books? Show me a law that's racist. They go, no, no, it's built in.

[Sam Tripoli]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

And then there's a certain point where you go, I never done anything racist in my life. They go, yeah, but you're thinking it.

[Sam Tripoli]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

I'd be like, all right, well, then maybe I'm an arsonist, but I've never burnt anything down, so what the fuck do you care? Care. It's like, yeah, but that's. You're thinking about those matches, bro. So when they're getting to invisible shit and accusing you of stuff that doesn't exist, that just means they're fucking grievance people.

[Sam Tripoli]

Yeah, and it's also. It's like. It's right on 1984. It's like they. They want you not to believe your eyes. Your ears are the wisdom of your experience. Right? And our experience would say, no dongs in the woman's bathroom, right? No guys dressed like street hookers reading to children. Because kids in kindergarten through fourth, we're dealing with ABCs. One, two, threes. And trans are advanced algebra. If your parents and your grandparents can't solve this enigma, why are we introducing it to children? But they don't want anything. It's just about destroying. It's about destroying every. All of our institutions. Yes, they're viruses and they want to destroy the institution because they hate their parents so much. They want to destroy everything. They. They've. And they've been so brainwashed over forever. It's just absolutely crazy. And it's. It's. It's. And it's. They're super destructive and they'll burn everything to the ground. And there's no. Again, no real end zone. They just want to burn everything to the ground. It's like. A great example is blm, right? So BLM was like their systematic racism. We got to burn the system down. Those same progressives who supported BLM were appalled that even though it was a complete intelligence PSYOP, the January 6th people would walk in into the institutions that have created the systematic racism.

[Adam Carolla]

Right?

[Sam Tripoli]

Like, you can't have both of them. You can't be like, we have a system that's totally racist, but the place that created it, leave it alone. Respect the government. It doesn't make any sense.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, well, what about their claim? All the January 6th cops being traumatized for the 10 minute skirmish that took place and the mostly peaceful protests. But all these fucking cops on the street with BLM and George Floyd and now ICE raids and stuff. And they're fighting cops and throwing rocks at them and calling them every name in the book and spitting on them. How come there's no trauma?

[Sam Tripoli]

There's no trauma.

[Adam Carolla]

How come there's no trauma to those cops? So it was an afternoon of pushing and shoving at the Capitol versus a Months and years of going to the street, getting called the worst names ever spit on, and you have no thoughts about the psychological workings of that cop who has to just go out, he's just following rules. He's just going out there enforcing the law. You guys are throwing rocks at the van, you're pushing back at them, you're screaming in their face. And that goes on week after week and month after month. 100 years. Especially with all the BMI, BLM stuff. And you call them the worst racist names ever. But the afternoon at the Capitol, that's the ones you're worried about their psyche.

[Sam Tripoli]

Yeah. They're trying to destroy democracy. It's just like, dude, I watch all these body cam footage and I'm not saying cops are 100% right all the time, but sometimes just take the ticket, live the fight another day, get out of there with a traffic violation, don't leave there with a felony. I have so much copophobia, dude. I thanked cops for giving me a $350 ticket. I was like, oh, thank you so much. That's how afraid I am of cops. Just take the ticket.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, look, don't. I always say don't look at them as cops, look at them as guys with guns.

[Sam Tripoli]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

And if a guy with a gun says anything to you, like if you're just walking outside of a liquor store and a guy with a gun goes, what's in the bag? You go, oh, you got a gun? Okay, here's what's in the bag here, go search me.

[Sam Tripoli]

I don't care. It's very interesting that the progressive left on one hand wants to get rid of the police, but they totally love the thought police.

[Adam Carolla]

They're big, right?

[Sam Tripoli]

Isn't that crazy? Like they want just chaos on the streets, but on the Internet they want complete law enforcement.

[Adam Carolla]

Just crackdown, don't even. It's so first off, you can't really logically unpack what they're saying. Cuz they're like, I'm for free speech, but not all speech, not hate speech, okay? You were against all the speech that turned out to be correct during COVID Can we just admit that's what you guys were against? Everything that turned out to be accurate and correct, you guys were against. So can you just take a decade off being the arbiters of what is truth or deep fakes or whatever you did with Joe Biden and all the cheap fakes and all the fucking lying? Can we just say that your reputation is 100% destroyed in terms of the person that you know. This is basically Jeffrey Epstein going, I want to open a daycare center. And then you go, no, you can't. Why? And he's indignant. This is insane. Why not? I should be able to open a preschool. No, just take a decade off. You've destroyed your reputation. You're wrong about everything. Half the stuff you're wrong about the other half you lied about. It was stupid or liar on all accounts. And now you got the fucking balls to come up and start talking about what's accurate on the Internet.

[Sam Tripoli]

Yeah, I mean, what did they get? I mean, what have they gotten, right? Like my girlfriend, I love her so much, she still watches msnbc. And I tell her, listen, man, I love you to pieces. I have a giant Jumbotron television in the other bedroom. Bedroom. Watch that garbage in there, okay? Cuz I can't listen to Rachel Maddow anymore. Whose batting average is like less than 100. You know, name me one thing that Rachel Maddow got wrong. Got right.

[Adam Carolla]

Name me one thing they went right from Russian collusion. Wrong. They got that wrong right to Covid. Right From COVID to January 6, the three biggest stories all fucking wrong. All right, Sam, let me give you a plug. Cause we're gonna break and do some news now. Samtripoli.com World War debate, UFC. The UFC of debating, by the way, check that out. Live shows. Sam's very funny. Stand up. He's gonna be in Minneapolis and Morris Plains, New Jersey. And what you can do is you can go to find his dates at Sam Tripoli tinfoil hat as well. All right, Alicia Krause, come in. We'll do news right after this. Homes.com. well, some might say homes.com is the best home shopping site. And maybe homes.com's super comprehensive and transparent agent directory. Or Maybe it's that homes.com is the only site that always directly connects you with the listing agent who knows the home the best. Perhaps it's because homes.com has the most in depth neighborhood content of any home shopping site that's extensively researched to highlight the personality of each neighborhood. Ilovehomes.com if you love homes and it's a hobby, but you like to look around, see what everything's going for out there, homes.com goes above and beyond to bring home shoppers the in depth info they need to find the right home. Homes.com we've done your homework. Morgan and Morgan. There's a reason Tom Brady's got seven rings and you don't. He knows what he's doing. Yeah, just like there's a reason Morgan and Morgan is America's largest injury law firm. Over 20 billion recovered for Morgan than 500,000 clients. That's not a slogan, that's results. In one Florida case, the insurance offered 350 grand. Client walked away with 12 million bucks. They've been doing this for 35 years, fighting for the people. Morgan and Morgan. America's largest injury law firm for the people, not the powerful. It's Morgan and Morgan. Morgan, am I right, Dawson?

[Adam Carolla]

Adam. Gone are the days of honor student bumper stickers.

[Alicia Krause]

[Adam Carolla]

Who cares?

[Sam Tripoli]

Get it on.

[Dawson]

You can leave us a message at 888-634-1744.

[Adam Carolla]

You know, it's so funny. Alicia Krause in studio. I'd plug her thing, but I don't have her bio on.

[Alicia Krause]

That's okay. You know, I don't do much. It's like this show, campus speeches.

[Adam Carolla]

I was at a Starbucks in Texas and the big sign is how they practice kindness. And I just thought, first off, what are we spackling over for in our society? Like, kind. And also, I don't need that relationship with the guy behind the counter at Starbucks. I just need my coffee. And then I give you the money and then I leave. And then you can be kind at home to your kids or your puppy.

[Alicia Krause]

It's important to be kind to people. But like, you know, veterans that served in World War II with a cooler on the side.

[Adam Carolla]

Stop. You can stop talking. The third time I say stop, you don't have to be kind to people. You have to. You have to treat people with a decorum. You know what I mean? Like, respect. Somebody extends their hand, you shake the hand. You know, when you walk up to somebody, you don't walk. Even if you're in a little bit of. Of a tizzy, you have to say to them, you know, excuse me, you know, where's security at this? You can't run up and go, hey, bitch, where's security? I'm fucking late. You know, like. But you don't have to keep. It's not something you need to remind yourself to do. It's just life.

[Alicia Krause]

It should be an age.

[Adam Carolla]

You say yes, you say thank you, you say please. You ask a question, you say, thanks for that. A little back and forth. It's just a normal. It's part of society, being a human.

[Sam Tripoli]

And it shouldn't override common sense. Like, you shouldn't be like, we gotta be so kind. We gotta go bend over backwards for this thing that makes no sense.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, so here's the thing. I would much rather have a neighbor who was fair and had a lot of character and was a balanced person than a kind person. Because kind people. It's a facade.

[Sam Tripoli]

Yes, I want.

[Alicia Krause]

No, I say nice is a facade. When people are like, oh, they're nice. I think kindness is, like, innate.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, kindness is a little more in your bone marrow than nice, and I agree. But we're taking kind and we're beating the shit out of it now because we're putting it. We don't need it at a coffee place is what I'm saying.

[Alicia Krause]

I think actually it's like, circling back to what you guys were kind of talking about before the break was like, it's what the left uses as a banging over your head word.

[Adam Carolla]

Yes.

[Alicia Krause]

That if you therefore, are like, hey, I don't want a transgender person reading to my kindergarten. My kids, kindergarten class, they're like, you're so unkind.

[Sam Tripoli]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

Their version of kind is taking most of your money from you and giving it to people who are going to squander it.

[Sam Tripoli]

100, right?

[Adam Carolla]

And I'm like, I don't feel like that's kind to anybody, but forget about much less me.

[Sam Tripoli]

Brutal to me, dude.

[Adam Carolla]

All right, we got 12.

[Sam Tripoli]

You know, it's also real quick. It's just like, I, I. I'm teaching my kids to read. It's driving me nuts. I can barely read myself, and now I'm trying to teach them to read. Why does another man dress like a. A truck stop hooker? Want to read to other people's kids. That sounds absolutely painful to me.

[Adam Carolla]

No, no, he doesn't. Listen, he's doing it to piss you off, not for any other reason. There's no exact.

[Sam Tripoli]

Exactly.

[Adam Carolla]

I've said this a million times. Who the fuck wants to go to a public library on a Saturday and read to 5 year olds? Like, that sounds like the worst Saturday. I want to watch college football and get drunk. So I don't want to fucking put on a tutu and go to the library. And he's only doing it because, well, they're all pissed at their dad. Yeah, well, they hate their dad. And they're also a lot of them got molested by their uncle, probably by their unknown. So they're all scrambled. All right, what do you got, Alicia Craft?

[Alicia Krause]

We do have video here. So Marjorie Taylor Greene is saying that she might return to politics at some point. Right now she's stepping back. She did an 11 minute, like Facebook Live video talking about all of her issues with the GOP and Donald Trump. You've seen the meme, though, about how people are saying that Trump in this video is kind of dressing like Zoran Mamdani after hanging out with him for 30 minutes. Hilarious. And so let's. So Trump, after saying on Truth Social that she was a traitor, then also thanked her for her service. This sounds like. He sounds like a crazy ex. Like, she was the worst, but, man, I miss her. So let's watch Donald talking about Marjorie Taylor Green here.

[Adam Carolla]

You had a fight with Elon Musk and you guys were able to work it out. I get along with everybody.

[Sam Tripoli]

We see the same thing happening between you and.

[Adam Carolla]

Sure, why not?

[Sam Tripoli]

I mean, I get along with everybody. He's such a.

[Adam Carolla]

Can we do this? Can we. Can they work out Marine One, the helicopter? How much warming up do those jet engines need? Like, can't we fire those things after the program press. It's always that crazy jet sound in the background. And I'm like, I'm not. I'm not a mechanic, but I do know stuff about stuff. Like those things need five minutes of warm up time. You could fire them after the news guys put the boom mic down and headed back in.

[Alicia Krause]

And then the President's walking up.

[Adam Carolla]

You start walking up, they'll fire it up. And if he's got to sit there and drink a Yoo Hoo for five minutes, then, like, so be it. But we won't have to. This crazy jet sound behind security reason.

[Alicia Krause]

It must be like a security reason or sometimes. Yeah, sometimes. Like, I Think that part of the reason why the press gathers there is because it's not a planned presser. Like, when he goes into this.

[Sam Tripoli]

It's also nice picture to get on that.

[Alicia Krause]

Yeah, for sure. But I think that lots of times, like Biden, for example, would always walk by and like, wave at him like, I don't got time.

[Sam Tripoli]

Which of the eight Bidens are you talking about?

[Alicia Krause]

The third plastic surgeon.

[Sam Tripoli]

Nephilim, Biden, Black, Biden, Young Langs.

[Adam Carolla]

I think Biden used it as an excuse not to just walk out. Yeah, he didn't wanna.

[Alicia Krause]

But I think most presidents, it's not always a scheduled part of their day, so if they pop in, it's like a bonus.

[Adam Carolla]

It might be a security thing, but I would still say shut the turbines down. Let me finish my conversation and then fire it up when I get there. I mean, you get onto a Southwest flight, the engines aren't running when you're getting onto the flight.

[Alicia Krause]

Sometimes I wish they were when you get out of the flight.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, you. They fire it up when you're on the plane.

[Sam Tripoli]

I saw somebody on Twitter trying to go at mtg. They were like, I just want to say that she hit her retirement two weeks ago. Just so you know, I'm like, and who doesn't just get to the retirement and then call it a day? Like, who's like, oh, I could retire now, but let me do five more years.

[Alicia Krause]

Retiring. Well, I don't think she's retiring.

[Sam Tripoli]

The assumption was that she, oh, she.

[Alicia Krause]

Hit it and now she's. Peace.

[Sam Tripoli]

Yeah. And who wouldn't do that?

[Alicia Krause]

No, I think that she saw the writing on the wall, that the. She's going to have a. Probably pret. A tough GOP primary. She already had a tough GOP primary before that. She probably wouldn't have won if it hadn't have been for Trump's endorsement. I think that she has her sight set on another office or. I don't know. Rumor has it. Some people are speculating. Could she be the new conservative on the View with the most crazy one? They'd go with, like, the most crazy Republican lady to be on the View.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, they should get some balance on the View, right? Like, I don't get what is what. What's enticing about watching a team scrimmage its own team all day. Why not scrimmage another team?

[Alicia Krause]

I don't disagree. I'm just like, does it have to be Marjorie Taylor Greene? Could it be Marjorie Taylor Greene and then like a Nikki Haley, Like a.

[Sam Tripoli]

Little bit of both Sides, no Nikki Haley ever, anywhere. So real quick, here's the thing. It's like crazy to me that this show is how old? 40 years old. And there hasn't been been one straight guy on the show. Like, ESPN cannot shoehorn enough women into every single show. Like I watched the NBA draft. It's like three chicks in the bisexual talking about the draft. Like, we can't get one guy on the View. Just one dude who likes to bang chicks.

[Alicia Krause]

There's a lot of motorbikes do that.

[Sam Tripoli]

Yeah, but why like constantly rotating? So crazy.

[Adam Carolla]

Here, here's. Okay, here's the way the law works with chicks. It's the same way with a women's only gym. Women's only gym is noble, but if you do a men's only gym, then you're misogynist. Douche. Right. So the women, the View. Like you go, why isn't there a guy's voice on them? And they go, because it's the View. It's about women.

[Alicia Krause]

It's women's view.

[Adam Carolla]

But if you do halftime talk in the NFL, you gotta get a woman in there. And if you say to them, well, we're just doing dudes, I go, no, no, you gotta have a woman's perspective in there.

[Alicia Krause]

But by the way, outnumbered has a dude.

[Adam Carolla]

Why do you need.

[Alicia Krause]

It's like the four chicks and then.

[Adam Carolla]

The dude, why do you need a woman?

[Sam Tripoli]

Conservative sports talk as a dude.

[Adam Carolla]

I don't know that you need a woman's perspective as thinking about the NFL though. Cause it's the NFL. No, but it's getting crazy because I agree with you. When I did the man show, they said, where's the woman's voice? And we said, we don't have a woman's voice.

[Sam Tripoli]

Yeah, she's on the trampoline. That's her voice.

[Adam Carolla]

We, we.

[Sam Tripoli]

It's crazy because now in sports they have like the booth that calls the live games.

[Alicia Krause]

Yeah.

[Sam Tripoli]

And now they've shoe horned women into that. And what they've actually done is taken the job of the former player. So now the former players aren't there. They have women in there.

[Alicia Krause]

Oh, boo hoo. Former successful NFL player.

[Sam Tripoli]

Yeah, but that's.

[Alicia Krause]

But I. So here's the thing though. This is looking at data and having.

[Sam Tripoli]

I just want me to say this to you real quick. I've never been the Buffalo Wild Wings and saw two women arguing. Who is a better running back? Emmett Smith or Barry Sanders? Ever in my life.

[Alicia Krause]

I have two girlfriends who could do that. Sam Ponder and Heather Cooney.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. But they've never been in the same Buffalo.

[Sam Tripoli]

Wow.

[Alicia Krause]

Maybe not the different parts of the country. I think that statistically ESPN is going, what do middle aged dudes who watch sports like to see other than sports? Hot chicks. So maybe let's take a hot chick.

[Sam Tripoli]

And put her in here and guess who else doesn't like it. Women. I can't tell you how many chicks are like, why is this chick talking sports? It's just this whole thing.

[Alicia Krause]

She's not qualified. Like, if it's a gender hire, that actually pisses me off. But if she's not qualified to be.

[Sam Tripoli]

In that position, Listen, I never played pro sports. I love pro sports. If the Dodgers said, hey Sam, do you want to sit in our booth and call these games? I'd be like, I'm not qualified to do that. I don't know anything. I love basketball. I couldn't call a game they're shoehorning these chicks in and they're just doing Google stats. And it's like I want to hear the guy that played the game. Like, what are you the players feeling right now?

[Adam Carolla]

I agree. I mean, you want to know what's what your perspective is from 13 years in the league or whatever it is. All right, I agree with the Sam, go ahead. What's the next step? O'Reilly Auto Parts. Yeah, let me some O'Reilly Auto Parts. You do too, if you like working on cars. I like working on cars. I'm just out driving a race car. Gotta have those O'Reilly auto parts, man.

[Alicia Krause]

Next story. So I'm pretty biased about this story. Apparently the Trump administration is telling people to dress with respect at airports. So I just kind of love it that that the Secretary of Transportation, Sean Duffy, who's a dad of like six, tells people, are you keeping control of your children? So there's a social media video. Do we have video of it? Let's play this. This is hilarious.

[Sam Tripoli]

I call this just maybe dressing with some respect. You know, whether it's a pair of jeans and a decent shirt. I would encourage people to maybe dress a little better, which encourages. Encourages us to maybe behave a little better. Let's try not to wear slippers and, and, and pajamas as we come to the airport. I think that's positive. Get I.

[Alicia Krause]

So he. So he says that manners need, don't need to stop at the gate. Like, let's bring the civility and manners back. When you travel. Let's not have bare feet on seats and brawling at baggage drop. In this video, Duffy suggested that travelers ask themselves five questions before they travel for the Thanksgiving holidays. One, are you helping a pregnant woman placing her bags in the overhead bin?

[Sam Tripoli]

I do that.

[Alicia Krause]

Good for you. Two, are you dressing with respect? Three, are you keeping control of your children? Four, are you saying thank you to your flight attendants? And five, are you saying please and thank you in general?

[Sam Tripoli]

I have some issues with that. I, by the way, I go to airports. I don't see kids anywhere. This is not a good sign. I very rarely see kids at the.

[Adam Carolla]

More dogs than kids.

[Sam Tripoli]

Yeah, it's not a good. Not a good sign.

[Adam Carolla]

Okay, so he's right in that, you know, when kids wear school uniforms at schools, there's less fighting and less behavior that you don't. Aggressive behavior and stuff like that. I mean, it's kind of like pumping in classical music versus rap music. People tend to act as if. And so dressing nicer would lead to less sort of altercations and conflicts and things like that. There's also just. I noticed it at LAX after Covid because Covid, everyone got used to doing business in their pajamas. They just said stay home. So they're just doing meetings and Going all Jeffrey Toobin on everyone's ass and having meetings at home and they're doing their pajamas and then at some point they opened back up and people never got out of their pajamas. They just went to lax. And I have said a million times it's true, LAX looks like a hotel where somebody pulled the fire alarm at 4am and everyone wandered down to the lobby. And they're like wearing slippers with a boner sweatpants.

[Alicia Krause]

You have that or you have the other extreme which is like all the TikTok influencers with their like full on air lashes and extension and high.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, yeah.

[Alicia Krause]

It's both extremes.

[Sam Tripoli]

I don't want to fly in a suit. That was crazy to me. A nice sweatsuit, slippers. Can I just say one thing?

[Adam Carolla]

Why can't airport have a dress code? A restaurant has a fucking dress code.

[Sam Tripoli]

Yeah, why not? I'm totally for that. Also, can we, we don't really need the seatbelt explanation. I think we all know that. Can, can you explain to people, and I'm gonna lose some people on this, particularly ethnic people, how to get off a plane? Meaning. Wait, your aisle?

[Alicia Krause]

Yes.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh my God.

[Sam Tripoli]

I mean dude, I cannot. I get up and sleep. I've had one of these people by.

[Adam Carolla]

The way, I'm just star. They're assholes in my face. If you're sitting on the aisle and they're just standing there and the aisle's 14 inches wide. This guy's ass crack is 3 1/2 inches from my nose for 20 minutes while he stands there. Cuz he made his way to the.

[Alicia Krause]

People that are always seem that they feel the need to call somebody, be like yeah, yeah, I just landed. Yeah, uh huh.

[Adam Carolla]

I'm here for this thing, I don't text it. But also this is a two part problem because they dumped their luggage off at the front of the plane when they were leaving and then they went to the back and now they're getting off the plane but their luggage is in the front and they think that's their territory now. So they're gonna make their way to their luggage. It has to be enforced.

[Sam Tripoli]

I get up and I instantly block the back. I'm like wait your turn and you're talking about butts in your face. Hand of God. I was flying to Austin and there was a gay Latino and he had a bbl. Have you ever seen a man with a BBL before?

[Alicia Krause]

Brazilian butt lift.

[Adam Carolla]

A Brazilian butt lift on a dude.

[Sam Tripoli]

It was like a nor. It was like a Latino guy up top and a minotaur on the bottom.

[Alicia Krause]

I love that. I knew that.

[Sam Tripoli]

And he would always talk to the robot next to me, so his fart bazooka was constantly pointing at my face.

[Adam Carolla]

Wow. Like having a gun held there.

[Sam Tripoli]

I was like, I'm like, take my. I have kids. Just take my wallet.

[Adam Carolla]

Take my wallet. Yeah, I can make more money.

[Alicia Krause]

So you guys probably traditionally travel like this. Like hoodies, comfortable clothes.

[Adam Carolla]

Okay, so here's the deal, coach. It depends where you're flying. But it's so fucking tight and uncomfortable now. And I'm six foot two and they keep shrinking everything.

[Sam Tripoli]

Yeah, they're shrinking.

[Adam Carolla]

So wearing your peg leg jeans, your skinny jeans and a denim shirt or something that is not comfortable to fly in. So tennis shoes, sweatpants, but not like 70 sweatpants. Gotta have pockets with a zipper.

[Sam Tripoli]

Some Adidas.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, sometimes a little thing. And a hoodie, sweat jacket, whatever. Ball cap. Just something that's gonna be comfortable to spend a lot of time in. And also pockets, like baggy pockets, like throw your earbuds and stuff like that. No problem. It's when you start showing up in slipp, in pajamas.

[Sam Tripoli]

It's.

[Alicia Krause]

It's okay. So my dad.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, and tank tops.

[Alicia Krause]

Oh.

[Sam Tripoli]

Like one piece yoga. I mean, some of these girls. Listen, I love looking at it, but I'm like, you're on a plane. Why do you look like you're going to the nightclub right now? You're rocking camel toe again. Not complaining, but it's like, is this needs to be on Spirit Airlines when the kids are right here and I can hear your. Your camel toe barking. King, let's please.

[Alicia Krause]

So my dad was an American Airlines pilot. And when we flew standby, we literally had rules that you had to dress up. And like some airlines used to have rules that you couldn't be standby or non rev and wear leggings. Like there was that whole United fiasco where the girl was like, the captain was so mean to me, he wouldn't let me fly first class. And he was like, yeah, because you're in leggings and a hoodie. I do think, I don't know, I think we should go back to. Every airline should have like a level of dress code.

[Sam Tripoli]

Yeah, right.

[Alicia Krause]

And I think closed toed shoes just make sense for safety reasons.

[Adam Carolla]

Listen, I'm with you and what I say all the time is the airport and airlines are just one big rule. It's just rules. Everything. Take your belt off, take your shoes off, take your ball cap off. You know, like, I remember I had my earbuds they were just in my pocket. I walked through there. It's like I got earbuds. Go put, go back and put them through. You know, I had to go put it in a case, you know, and have them like, it's just rules, rules, rules. You got locked out of flight. You should have checked your bag. You have a 50 minutes for the flight. You're 52 minutes. You didn't check your bag. You're not, can't, you can't bring your bag on. There's templates to put the bag in. You find me more rules per square.

[Alicia Krause]

Foot than an airport.

[Sam Tripoli]

Than an airport.

[Adam Carolla]

Okay? So it's all non stop rules about you have to have your trip. I'm traveling with Mike August. You know, they get that little, on top of the tray table. It's the little flaps. You can put your phone on it. It's a little 4 inch flap and.

[Alicia Krause]

Holds it for you.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, holds it. So we had the ball game on. We're landing, the chick comes flap up. It's like a little 4 inch piece of plastic, you know, up. Rules, man. Nothing but rules. And you start getting into them with the rules and the sheriff will be waiting for you. Where else in the world are there more rules than this place? And my argument is, is as long as we got all the rules, why not just tack on a couple more rules?

[Sam Tripoli]

Yeah, trust. Nice.

[Adam Carolla]

And by the way, it'll be up to you and the airline to, you know, the airline, you know, Southwest goes, we don't charge for one bag. Some are like, we don't charge for two bags.

[Alicia Krause]

Southwest charges for bags.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, well, okay. What I'm saying is different places have different rip. Different. There are different criteria for different bags and different places. And that's all this. You can use the lounge if you have a first class ticket and whatever, but you can't use it if you're only going to Phoenix because that's not far enough. Like rules, rules, rules. And you have to veil yourself of those rules. You can't just bring your hunting knife to the airport or your Glock, you know. So in a world of nothing but rules, why are we completely lawless with the dress code?

[Alicia Krause]

I agree, I agree 100%.

[Sam Tripoli]

I totally agree on that 100%.

[Alicia Krause]

Maybe just no, no midriff, no butt crack.

[Adam Carolla]

I, you know, I think it's like Senator Whoever in the 70s as it pertained to pornography. I'll know it when I see it. You know what I mean?

[Sam Tripoli]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

I'll tell you what, you can't do.

[Alicia Krause]

That Might have been Justice Alito. Was it Justice Alito?

[Sam Tripoli]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

Here's the is a rule. If you wouldn't wear it to meet the parents of your new girlfriend or boyfriend, then don't wear it here. Yeah, like you might wear if you.

[Alicia Krause]

Wouldn'T wear it reading to kindergarten. Oh, yeah, that doesn't work anymore.

[Adam Carolla]

All right, what else do we got?

[Alicia Krause]

All right, this one's kind of creepy and weird. Amanda Bynes has now addressed rumors that Nickelodeon producer Dan Schneider got her pregnant at 13.

[Sam Tripoli]

I got something on that.

[Adam Carolla]

Something happened, right?

[Alicia Krause]

I mean, poor girl. A lot of stuff happened. I'm today years old when I realized that she and I are the same age. She's only 39. Of course, she has been through a lot. And in the first clip that now is from Tik Tok and a recent Instagram story she posted with her boyfriend friend, she said that this is all about getting lie like clickbait. Lies for clickbait. Here we go.

[Sam Tripoli]

Hi, welcome to my Today, my special.

[Alicia Krause]

Guest is the executive producer of the Amanda Show.

[Adam Carolla]

Nothing's creepier than a guy jacuzzi wearing Roy Arverson sunglasses. So this is him in a shirt and undershirt and sunglasses sharing a Jacuzzi with a 13 year old.

[Alicia Krause]

So she's saying that people took a video of her posting with her boyfriend at an airport and then this clip of her with Dan Schneider fully dressed in a hot tub and saying that somebody took the two unrelated clips and manufactured them.

[Sam Tripoli]

And I will. It's not real.

[Alicia Krause]

It's not real.

[Adam Carolla]

I will say this, that Dan Schneider dresses nicer for a hot tub than a lot of black chicks do at Burbank Airport.

[Sam Tripoli]

Yeah. So the rule should be dress like a pedophile hitting on 13 year olds in a hot tub. Well, you know the Britney Spears, Jamie Lynn Spears, that's supposedly the rumor that the dad is Schneider.

[Alicia Krause]

Oh, God.

[Sam Tripoli]

I mean, dude, it's super. I mean he's really dark fetish and that's the logo. Come on.

[Alicia Krause]

Well then you have the Drake Bell stuff. The documentary. Did you guys watch that documentary? It was really disturbing. It called Quiet on Set and apparently he parted ways, of course with Nickelodeon in March of 2018 and he sued, has sued the producers of Quiet on Set for defamation. But I mean, come on, dude, Good luck with that.

[Sam Tripoli]

Dude. They made up fake shows to have auditions for pilots that were never gonna happen.

[Alicia Krause]

Yeah, or the stuff that even the writers were talking about.

[Adam Carolla]

I think I've been on a few of those auditions in my career. Nothing ever came out the other end. And I nailed it.

[Sam Tripoli]

My career at mtv, when I was meeting with the guy pitch shows, he goes, so you're gay, right? I go, nope. I'm like, well, there goes that opportunity. I should have sold my ass. I could have been Rob Derrick or.

[Dawson]

Whatever his name is.

[Alicia Krause]

Bines hasn't acted now in 15 years. Of course, a couple years after that, she was charged with the DUI before getting in a series of other debacles over with the law. She had a conservatorship much like Britney, but I guess that that ended in 2023. In recent months, she's updated her fans on her OIC weight loss journey. And she also revealed in April of this year that she's starting an only fans account to help pay the.

[Sam Tripoli]

Of course, it's just checking off all the boxes.

[Alicia Krause]

Ozempic OnlyFans, like, maybe banned child actors.

[Sam Tripoli]

Can we all apologize to Britney Spears dad? Be like, okay, maybe you should maybe.

[Adam Carolla]

Had a point there, executive. Yeah, everyone's going on a weight loss journey. You should just be called all the body positive people. But it's a journey. Everyone had to. And then we have to company you on your not so fat journey anymore.

[Sam Tripoli]

I love that this is a journey. I'm on a journey.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, I got a pick. I'll see you in a couple weeks. I lost eight pounds. That's your journey. There's too many journeys to accompany everyone on their journey.

[Alicia Krause]

You can always tell in the face too. Like, I'm the Bible belt girl that's really excited that Cece Winans is going to be singing at the halftime show, like, Thanksgiving show for the Lions. Of course she's a Detroit gal, but she's a gospel singer, in case you didn't know. And my husband and I were like, oh, my God, she's on Ozempic. Literally everybody is on Ozem.

[Adam Carolla]

Epic.

[Alicia Krause]

One of the William Sisters. Meghan Trainor, Amanda Bynes, Cece Winans, everybody. Nobody, like, loses weight the old fashioned.

[Sam Tripoli]

Way because that takes effort and hard work.

[Alicia Krause]

God, it takes me like a year and a half after every kid to.

[Sam Tripoli]

Lose 50 in this. In this, like, add water and. And percolate kind of culture we live in, which is like, instant gratification. Why would you want to put in the time?

[Adam Carolla]

Did Amanda Bynes. So what happened with her? Was she molested by this guy? I or not? Did we figure, I don't know.

[Sam Tripoli]

DraftKings. Am I putting bets down?

[Alicia Krause]

I. My money would be on. At the very least, she was sexually harassed.

[Dawson]

Yeah.

[Sam Tripoli]

At some point I don't know if.

[Alicia Krause]

She was physically assaulted.

[Sam Tripoli]

Listen, this is my whole thing, dude, I'm not gonna lie to you. I got into comedy to get chicks. I mean, I wanted to be funny. It's the only thing.

[Alicia Krause]

But not minors.

[Sam Tripoli]

No, not. But that. This is my point. I don't trust any dude who does kids entertainment. Like I have a kid comic book I'm doing called the Chaos Twins. But because I have daughters, I wanted to put out something that has them in it. But if you're like a dude who doesn't have kids and you're like, I'm gonna do children's entertainment, I'm like, that's creepy to me.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, you shouldn't. It just means you're not talented to me. Maybe you're creepy, but it also means you can't like.

[Alicia Krause]

So they can't cut it in adult entertainment. So you go to entertain.

[Sam Tripoli]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

Let me lay this out for you guys. When you had have like an uncle who's 51, but he's impaired mentally, people go, you know, they'll go, neil is probably operating like a nine year old like mentality. Like he's a nine year old. Maybe an eight or nine year old mentality. Okay, so that means all eight, nine year olds are retarded.

[Sam Tripoli]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, they're like Rayman.

[Alicia Krause]

They do their prefrontal cortex.

[Adam Carolla]

Adults. All right? So I, I go, I do comedy for retarded adults.

[Sam Tripoli]

So when you say you do books.

[Adam Carolla]

For kids, I just hear, I do entertainment for retarded adults. And that's what it is. So if you make movies, you write books. By the way, we often worship at the altar of Dr. Seuss. A cat in a hat. It was green eggs and ham. Sam, I am. I'll have no eggs on a train. I'll have them on a plane. I'll have them in a box. I'll have them with a fox. Yeah, I could shit that out. Fucking drunk at four in the morning on my way worst day. So don't give me this hero shit.

[Alicia Krause]

He was also a socialist, not creative.

[Adam Carolla]

And fuck right off.

[Sam Tripoli]

Yeah, I mean, kids, kid book authors are the worst rappers of all time. Have you ever read their lyrics? They are the worst rappers.

[Adam Carolla]

And by the way, each page has nine words on it. Sally, hop on.

[Alicia Krause]

It's really more on the illustrator.

[Adam Carolla]

Yes, the illustrator. If you say, I wrote and illustrated my book, I'll go find. If you go, I wrote a children's book and I had some other guy, I'll go, you don't know Fucking shit.

[Sam Tripoli]

Then go read books from kids. Books from like the 80s. It is two different levels of teaching.

[Alicia Krause]

Oh, so different. Even the. They had to like dumb down the American girl doll books. Like what I. My generation grew up with to today because of kids inability to read. I mean, and of course you have like what UCSD that is now teaching elementary school level math courses because kids, freshmen in college are showing up and don't know. Like there was a, there was a graph and it was like two plus three equals. And then it was zero point plus whatever number. They couldn't figure out the problem.

[Sam Tripoli]

We took away hitting kids and now they do whatever they want.

[Adam Carolla]

That's right.

[Sam Tripoli]

I can't spake my kids. They're too cute.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh man. Beat the shit out.

[Sam Tripoli]

It's like working with domestic terrorists. That's who your kids are, Domestic terrorists. And they just, they're burned. They're having BLM riots in the, in the kitchen and they just run the show. I mean, my mom gives me advice. I'm like, mom, even though you didn't. You could have hit us. You could have beat the shit out of us. And everyone's like, that's a good parent. Yep, can't do that anymore. And these kids know it.

[Alicia Krause]

She would take away your TV time.

[Sam Tripoli]

My daughter was, she's five. She's like, you son of a bitch. And I laughed so hard, it was the cutest thing ever. But I'm like, I have to do something here or else she goes say that to her teacher who has a nose ring. Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

All right, let me give some plugs. My new Home Depot run is on YouTube or my vlog. So if people want to see me.

[Sam Tripoli]

Cruise through kids, people's skills, I am.

[Adam Carolla]

These are real world building skills. I'm learning and I'm walking through Home Depot. World War Debate is Sam's new show. Where do we find that Sam?

[Sam Tripoli]

You can go to samtripoli.com events or the world War Debate. It's basically because debates are all on these different podcasts. You don't know the one place. So we're creating the ufc, the NFL. NFL of debates. So it's like one place and it's going to be January 10th and at Caesar's palace in Atlantic City. And it's going to be the gold standard debates every month, every other month, everyone, the biggest names on the Internet, any of their beefs are going to come and they're going to debate and it's going to be just like an NFL game with all the statistics and all that stuff. So we're centralizing into the gold standard of debates and everyone, the people we're getting are huge. And we're about to announce the card. So we're very excited about Adam. We'd love to have you debate if there's anyone you want to debate.

[Adam Carolla]

I would. Man.

[Alicia Krause]

Adam and Sunny Hostin. Sunny Hostin.

[Adam Carolla]

Maybe my emphasis would be on why passion fruit iced tea sucks.

[Sam Tripoli]

Let's go.

[Adam Carolla]

And let's do away with the red left turn arrow. All right, Alicia Krause, you can find her weekly op ed on the Watch and Examiner. Until next time, it's time for Sam and Lisha Krause saying Mahala.
