Adam Carolla
Oh, really?
- [01:19]
Chris
Show him around. He's like, wow, this is really impressive. I mean, you know, we get used to it. Cause we see it every day. But he's like, this is amazing.
- [01:24]
Adam Carolla
That's nice.
- [01:26]
Chris
He didn't say that, but his face said it. No, I was very impressed.
- [01:30]
Adam Carolla
Sonny, how you doing, boy?
- [01:32]
Sonny Carolla
Good.
- [01:32]
Adam Carolla
Okay. What's going on in your life?
- [01:38]
Sonny Carolla
School?
- [01:39]
Adam Carolla
Yeah.
- [01:39]
Chris
Any sports in season? Right now we're doing basketball, soccer. What's going on?
- [01:43]
Sonny Carolla
I have a basketball season right now and there's gonna be a flag football season starting up pretty soon.
- [01:48]
Chris
Nice.
- [01:48]
Adam Carolla
Speaking of range and love and the new sort of bar that has been set, it's actually kind of interesting. Kids used to be considered sort of. You'll experience this with Tessa, like the very first time you realize that you can, like, say to your child, hey, go to the car and get my wallet and bring it back. And they do it. It's the greatest victory ever. Because it's a hole that you just pour money and resources and time into for years and years and years. And then at some point, not you. And then at some point you realize, I don't have to get Phil's leash out of the back of my car myself.
- [02:37]
Chris
I long for those days.
- [02:38]
Adam Carolla
Oh, it's awesome. Now, back in the day Suddenly, they
- [02:42]
Chris
started driving pretty soon.
- [02:43]
Adam Carolla
Oh, you're counting the days. Sonny doesn't. Sonny, you're not. Well, Sonny, they have a weird relationship with cars. Like, on one hand, they're not that into driving. On the other hand, they want to drive. My Natalia announced she could save me a lot of money just by driving one of my Lamborghinis to high school, because then I wouldn't have to buy a car.
- [03:02]
Chris
The lease payment, you know, on a new car is not significant.
- [03:06]
Adam Carolla
It's outrageous. Yeah. By the way, Max, Pat, I don't want to burst your Prius bubble, but I was looking at a Prius, and I was at the stoplight 10 minutes ago, and I was staring at a Prius, and I was like, hmm, the wheels are different. And then I went, is the hubcap off the front or is that the space saver? And I toggled back and forth in my mind for a while, and then I went, that's a bad sign. That's a bad sign when you have a car. And I can't tell, and I know everything about tires and cars if that's a space saver or not. But back in the day, kids would do things like, I mean, you're working that farm. That kid's up at 5am he's milking, gathering eggs and whatever.
- [03:48]
Chris
That's why the farmers had kids. They could till the soil when they're 10.
- [03:51]
Adam Carolla
Right. When I was a kid, we had got. As a nation, it's actually. They do this thing where it's like, well, you can always judge a nation by how it treats its prisoners or civilization or whatever it is. Mainly, you can judge them by how much crap they need their kids to do, because there's plenty of places in the third World where there's still a lot for that kid to do before that kid goes to school, if that kid goes to school at all.
- [04:21]
Chris
That's a big.
- [04:22]
Adam Carolla
So when I was a kid, the parents had gone from sort of working the farm and working the land and busy, busy, busy, to just a sort of understanding where. My parents were like, look, I'm not gonna raise you. You don't hassle us. We won't hassle you. We won't have any curfews or homework or timeouts. There'll be nothing like that. And in exchange for none of that, there'll be no money and no college and no food. Go have fun. And so we just ran around.
- [04:53]
Chris
You reached an agreement early.
- [04:54]
Adam Carolla
Yes. Now it is turned about to the point where we have essentially become Slaves for the kids. It is completely gone the other way around.
- [05:05]
Chris
Is this true, Sonny?
- [05:08]
Sonny Carolla
In a way, yeah.
- [05:10]
Adam Carolla
Give me an example where. All right. Where's your mom today?
- [05:14]
Sonny Carolla
She's in Irvine. She had to get up at 5:15 in the morning to drive my sister to volleyball with her friend in Irvine.
- [05:21]
Adam Carolla
Okay. Nothing. My parents. My parents didn't have a. I didn't know where Irvine was and I grew up out here because that was considered out of rank.
- [05:30]
Chris
Oh, yeah. You'd heard tale of Irvine, but getting.
- [05:32]
Adam Carolla
I don't even know that. I didn't even know that.
- [05:35]
Chris
I heard tail whispering in the winds.
- [05:38]
Adam Carolla
An old guy with a beard down his knees and a staff and a robe would talk to me about Irvine and this. So she's at Irvine? Yeah, yeah. Because my mom had a VW Squareback that would get vapor lock if it got on the freeway. Like, we didn't have that kind of range. But she's in Irvine. Then what are we doing later today?
- [06:03]
Sonny Carolla
Me or you or them?
- [06:05]
Adam Carolla
What are them and you doing?
- [06:09]
Sonny Carolla
Oh, we're going to Natalia's best friend surprise birthday party. All the way by something with a P. It's. But it's by Magic Mountain.
- [06:19]
Adam Carolla
Valencia.
- [06:20]
Sonny Carolla
Valencia. No, no.
- [06:21]
Adam Carolla
Irvine to Valencia.
- [06:22]
Chris
That's for people out of the area. That is a couple of counties one
- [06:26]
Adam Carolla
direction and then a couple of counties the other direction. So that would have. That would have covered the mileage that my parents drove me for my entire childhood that'll be all used up on one Sunday. Like, I mean, I'd have these conversations, Can I get a ride to Teddy Lewis's place? In fact, my mom had this policy which was sort of diabolical, which is she needed 24 hours notice. Like, the policy was, if you want a restaurant reservation. Yes, if you'd like to get a ride. Yeah. Like if, you know, it's like if you're going to the shrink or the dentist and you don't cancel within 24 hours, they charge you. That's how my mom works. So my mom had this thing where. Now this is North Hollywood to Van nuys, which is 4.2 miles or something like that. I mean, technically you could get from North Hollywood into the Van Nuys proper and two and a half miles, but Teddy Lewis is probably four miles away. I could ride it on my Huffy, but it'd take like an hour and 45 minutes, but I could do it and I would. But if you needed a ride to Van Nuys from North Hollywood, my mom would just be like, she was Like Billy Jack's girlfriend getting raped on the riverside. She'd just be like, adam, it's not gonna solve anything. It's not gonna. And I'd go, I just wanna get right. I want to.
- [07:54]
Chris
Utility of existence.
- [07:54]
Adam Carolla
Yeah. I'd get right to Van Nuys, Mom. And she'd be like, okay, 24 hours notice. It's just a rule. It's 24 hours. But when you're 10, you don't really think it down the road, you know, so you don't think in advance. So just be like. I'd wake up that morning, be like, teddy Lewis called. I want to go to Van Nuys. It'd be like, 24 hours.
- [08:20]
Chris
Sonny, when you hear these stories about your sweet old grandma, does it make sense? Because you only know her as, you know, sweet old Grandma Carolla, but you hear these horrible stories, these horror stories.
- [08:32]
Sonny Carolla
I guess it kind of does make sense because. Because it's. Because when they recently came to visit, I mean, I'm always outside sometimes, but when I'm inside doing something, playing on my phone or something, sometimes I hear like, dad was like, time out. Like, I wrote for the Oscars. Like, this is the second time writing for the Oscars. And they're like, is this the first time you're doing that?
- [08:57]
Adam Carolla
Big fans, not quite engaged. Yeah, I was really.
- [09:01]
Sonny Carolla
So it kind of does make sense.
- [09:02]
Adam Carolla
It adds every time you start the car. It costs money every time. But, mom, the gas, it's only six, seven miles. That's like 20 cents. It's not just the gas. It's the oil. Belts, tires, depreciation, wear and tear. The car was $100. Like, how much? What do you expect to get back on it? You've had it for eight years. You're doing fine. You're doing fine. I was thinking the thing really. It's really bizarre. Oh, not bizarre. It's actually kind of consistent for all of you out there who think that whatever you're trying to get from whomever could be a parent, possibly a boss, a lover, a wife or husband, or all the above. Or all the above. Straight home.
- [10:03]
Ronnie from Corona
That's right.
- [10:04]
Adam Carolla
You may think that I always. So my parents were always just flatliners. And when you're a kid, you try to make sense of things. Everything gets passed through some sort of filter that tries to shape it into something recognizable. You can't just go, they're flatliners. They have no interest in anything. They're horribly depressed. They have no interest in you. And that's your lot in life. You're always thinking, what would they be into? But it's really pretty interesting. Hey, Max, Pata, who you have. I think there's a recording of Lynette telling my mom about the Oscars, which you can find and get ready. But. So here's the interesting part. As a kid. So my family were pseudo intellectuals. Like, they fancied themselves intellectuals. They were sort of. They liked this sort of European flair. They like reading. They like. You know, they had these sort of highfalutin friends that were like their professors and spoke multiple languages. There's nothing my grandmother liked more than a gay couple. She looked at, thought that was really progressive and evolved and blah, blah, blah. And my mom sort of had that too, in a sort of low rent, kind of hippie, depressed way. My dad's idea of a great Saturday would just be sitting on a folding chair somewhere reading a book. And so my entire life, just magically, I was into sports. I was crazy, nutty into sports. So my entire day would just be playing football or wrestling somebody on my lawn or throwing a dirt clod at somebody or something I couldn't read. And I never tried, like, the idea of a comic book or playing a baseball card or something. It all seemed like nonsense.
- [12:09]
Sonny Carolla
It's just a waste of my time.
- [12:10]
Adam Carolla
Seemed like just a waste of my time. I wanted to be on my BMX bikes.

Adam Carolla
Setting up a ramp somewhere in a front yard and airborne. Like, I had no. Doing something. Doing something. I had no concept of. Like, sitting. Hey, here's a comic book, or here's a book on something, or sitting inside or anything that didn't have to do with something physical. So my family, of course, I could remember my mother and my grandmother, like, talking about soccer and the virtues of soccer and wanting me to play soccer and things like that. Sonny, you hate soccer, right?
- [13:15]
Sonny Carolla
It's pretty boring to watch and to play okay, really?
- [13:19]
Adam Carolla
But other than that, it's a Very dynamic sport other than the watching and the playing part. Both sucking. But if you're somewhere in between, if there's a third category we can find
- [13:29]
Chris
act of playing soccer, it's pretty awesome.
- [13:31]
Adam Carolla
Yeah. And then how about the fact that I get so much enjoyment from not watching soccer? In a weird way, you have to give soccer credit. Like when soccer game comes up on the TV and I walk into the next room with a certain amount of enjoyment. Change the channel.
- [13:44]
Chris
Yeah, yeah.
- [13:44]
Adam Carolla
The last soccer game I went to, the score was 0, 0. And then they sent us home. What was that? Was that a professional soccer game? It was. Yeah. They sent us home like I'd asked for a refund. Yeah. Nothing. They don't have a tiebreaker or anything. I think they did a little overtime, and then after nobody scored in the overtime, they said, all right, well, tie game. Bye, everybody. They don't have a thing where they come out and they go, look, we're just gonna settle it. We're just gonna flip this tortilla. We have the Virgin Guadalupe is on one side. We have President Fox on the other. We're just gonna flip it like, something. No, there was nothing. It was very upsetting. I can't believe it. Yeah. All right, so soccer sucks. But here's the thing. They wanted me to play because they thought it was, like, safer and it was European.
- [14:32]
Chris
Yeah, it's more evolved.
- [14:33]
Adam Carolla
More evolved. That's it. I said, no, I don't. Not down with that. So they had no interest in football, and they had no interest in. In sports because it wasn't evolved. Football's Neanderthals, like, dragging their knuckles. And my grandmother would even spill into this weird world. When I was Sunny's age would be, like, sort of homoerotic world, but she'd got, like, these big he Men patting each other on the bottom. Patting each other on the bottom. They're supposed to be he men. And it was like, okay, Grandma, thanks for making it weird.
- [15:13]
Chris
My grandma, my dad's mom, did the exact same thing about basketball. It's like, why are we watching these giant men in their underwear run up and like. I guess that's one way to look at it. Men in their underwear.
- [15:24]
Adam Carolla
Yeah, I do. Like, it is so funny when people do a thing. I try not to do it. Like, you know when you do this thing where you go. Like, you go. You can say it about. You can say it about anybody or anything. You can just go pick a performer that you hate. Like, you gotta. You can go, no doubt. Selling out Madison Square Garden for what?
- [15:56]
Chris
Playing an instrument and talking to a microphone.
- [16:00]
Adam Carolla
Jump up and down, sing a couple of songs. Like, okay, yeah, yeah. These big guys just dropping a ball through a hoop and get millions of dollars to hold a ball.
- [16:09]
Chris
Short of brain surgery and maybe the military, you can do that with just about anything. Like one of you guys just talking
- [16:14]
Adam Carolla
into a microphone, making jokes all day right now. So says genius who's living in a one bedroom, one bathroom, no air conditioned asshole in North Hollywood and pontificating from a futon like, okay, a futon quarterback.
- [16:32]
Bald Brian
Yeah, it'd be an unarmed hair.
- [16:34]
Adam Carolla
Yeah. Maybe you should take a page out of their book Pontificators. But my family, they disliked football, they disliked sports. So what they did like was writing because it was noble. And my grandfather was a writer. And the other thing is he was nominated for the affairs of Susan in 1946 for an academy Award. That was the nominee that was the biggest. You know, we didn't have a lot to hang our hats on. The Corollas.
- [17:11]
Chris
That's a real one.
- [17:12]
Adam Carolla
Yeah, like, you know, my mom was on welfare and on her 11th year of junior college. Like, we didn't have a whole. We didn't have bragging rights to a lot of stuff, but there was a framed certificate from the academy that hung in my grandfather's den, which was. He was nominated. Now, he was my step grandfather, but he was still the only. We'll take it, we'll take it. So really all we had was my step grandfather was nominated for an Academy Award and there was a lot of talk and he wrote and he wrote and he didn't do much writing in his later years. I mean, he didn't sell anything. But he was always kind of working on a book, and it was always kind of a big deal. Your grandfather's working on a book for years. And it was considered noble. And this guy wrote a book and that guy writes. And it was a lot of discussion about who's clever and who writes and who's clever. Was very. It was a. It was, it was. That was something.
- [18:12]
Chris
They got into the Rock on Tour spirit was. Was valued.
- [18:16]
Adam Carolla
Valued. And. Yes.
- [18:18]
Sonny Carolla
Didn't you. You ended up writing some books, though. Because I remember going to the place and I had a.
- [18:24]
Adam Carolla
Like, well, that's. That's the. So. Oh, glad you. Glad you reminded me of that New York Times bestseller. So if you said to me, I
- [18:32]
Chris
was gonna say you should be lauded amongst your family.
- [18:35]
Adam Carolla
Well, so successful writer. Here's the interesting thing about the wiring. So I, you know, they're talking about writing and the academy. And it was a lot of academy talk because my grandmother would get the screeners every year, and that was a big deal. So we got like, someone's got on Golden Pond, and it's still in the movie theater. It's like, it was. It was a big. Was a big deal. Who's got. They got Willow. They got Willow a week before Willow's coming out. You know, it's like a big deal now. So she'd get the screeners and VHS screeners, and we'd be like, oh, so. And after my grandfather died. After my grandfather died, the notion was, she's going to pay the 86 bucks worth of academy dues so she can continue to get the screen.
- [19:30]
Chris
Sure.
- [19:31]
Adam Carolla
Also, if you'd like to know one great thing about the Corollas as well, and why they're all colossal losers is they always just sort of stay the course. Like, one day I was sitting around with my grandmother, and I think she had, like, the paperwork from the academy, and they had this thing which is like, if you'd like a DVD versus a VHS tape, check this box. And I'm like, check that dvd, Grandma. And she's like, I got a VHS player. And I was like, I'm see this thing out. I was like, I'll get you a DVD player for 99 bucks. I'll hook it up. She's like, well, I got one. I think we're putting one in the bedroom, too. I was like, I'll buy you two. And she's like, how does that work? And I'm like, it's just better. It's just better. And she has an entire small closet room, or small room, closet, whatever.
- [20:25]
Gina Grad
And.
- [20:25]
Adam Carolla
And the shelves are filled with 25 years of VHS tapes. You don't think they take up a lot of room, but after 25 years, it starts to pile up. I'm also like, they'll degrade. They'll go bad for the future.
- [20:36]
Chris
This is the way the world's going.
- [20:38]
Adam Carolla
This is the way the world's going. So whatever it is, don't check the VHS box. Check the DVD box. And don't worry, I will supply you with DVD players. At this point, I was making money. And she's like, all right. And then we, like, went. And it was like two months later, and the screeners started rolling again. They're all VHS tapes. And I was like, grandma, what? They're all vhs. She's like, yeah. And I was like, what about the DVD box? She's like, I didn't check it. W. No, I was like, okay, why do I talk? I have no idea why I speak, but okay. All right.
- [21:15]
Sonny Carolla
So wait, did you still end up buying the DVD player?
- [21:19]
Adam Carolla
There's a cruel joke. Yeah, I bought it and I lit it on fire like Jimi Hendrix.
- [21:26]
Sonny Carolla
You should have sold it for more money.
- [21:28]
Chris
Flip it.
- [21:29]
Adam Carolla
I should have flipped it. No, I never bought it because the deal was, when the movies start coming in, I'll get you a DVD player. But we never switched formats.
- [21:37]
Chris
It was to entice grandma to.
- [21:40]
Adam Carolla
So they like writing, they like the Oscars, and they like all that kind of stuff. And for me, I was like, well, you like football and wrestling and chucking dirt clods and making and riding your BMX bike and working on your bike and riding wheelies and doing all this stuff. They have no interest in any of that. So I guess that's it. I mean, I guess the reason they have no interest in what you're doing is because they have no interest in the things that you're doing. They don't like football, they don't like bmx. They don't like all that crap. And then later on that gave way to, I love cars. I'm a gearhead. And it's like, well, we hate cars. We're non gearheads. We're douche heads or maxi pad heads or whatever they call. But they don't. They're not into that. And then it got into building. I love tools. I love building. Like, not into that. Not into that.
- [22:34]
Chris
No common grounds.
- [22:35]
Adam Carolla
Right? And then later it sort of became about like Kroc and late night, you know, love advice and blah, blah, blah. And it's like, they're not into Kroc. They're not that. They go to bed at 9:30 at night and then MTV and Loveline and man show. And I said, that's on cable. They don't have cable.
- [22:53]
Chris
At that point, the ship had sailed.
- [22:54]
Adam Carolla
Yeah, but it also. I was like, the interest. I guess there's just nothing I'm into that they're into that will ever get them into whatever I'm into. And I like. I rationalize it. I like. Okay, they don't. They don't know anything about cars. They don't like race cars. They don't like building stuff or have tools or do anything. There's nobody. I would say that when it comes to interest in cars. I mean, like, here's the deal. Like, if you said, can you gauge my mom's interest in cars? 00 to 100 is dead. Then the question is, can we get into percentages? Like, I don't want to give her one that's unfair to other people that just sort of mildly don't care about cars. 0.7 maybe would be, yeah, I go under 0.5. But whatever it is, it's not a one. And my dad doesn't make it to a one either. Like, their combined score might not be a one if you went zeros dead. 10 is Jay Leno. Where's their interest in cars? I do not think their combined score would make. I don't think it'd be a one. So. All right, that's bad luck, but all right. Sonny into cars?
- [24:13]
Sonny Carolla
Yeah, kind of.
- [24:14]
Adam Carolla
All right, well, the good news is if. If you are into cars, when you're older, you'll have a dad who's into cars.
- [24:20]
Sonny Carolla
Yay.
- [24:21]
Chris
Common interests.
- [24:22]
Bald Brian
There you go.
- [24:22]
Chris
So let's talk about it.
- [24:24]
Adam Carolla
So, all right. They're not in a building. They're not in the cars. They're not into. Whatever. Fine. But I was really breaking down this Academy thing, which is they are into writing big time, and they're certainly into the Academy Awards big time. I mean, the only thing we have is grandpa was nominated and I got all the screeners, and it was always a discussion. We'd go to my grandma's house and watch it, blah, blah, blah. So if you can flatline on your son's friend hosting the Academy Awards and then your son riding for the game, that just means you can flatline on anything. Right?
- [25:01]
Chris
The bar's been set.
- [25:02]
Adam Carolla
Right. So there is no. So for all of you who are out there that are thinking of things and ways to get people interested in stuff, and you think it's topic based. Like, you think. All right, well, I'm not a car guy or not a billing guy, but whatever. No, there is nothing. And in a weird. In kind of a weird way, more flatliney on the stuff they're into.
- [25:25]
Chris
Oh, yeah, absolutely. That's the stuff that should get the polls going, you know?
- [25:28]
Adam Carolla
Yeah. But what I'm saying is they flat. They go harder flatline.
- [25:32]
Chris
My mom, it's like not conscious, but, you know, it's more leaning in to that. Flatlining. Yeah, it's really aggressively flatlining.
- [25:42]
Adam Carolla
It's awesome.
- [25:43]
Chris
Sonny wishes he was in Airplane.
- [25:45]
Adam Carolla
Sonny, how you feeling, buddy?
- [25:47]
Chris
In Irvine right now?
- [25:48]
Sonny Carolla
Good, thank you.
- [25:48]
Adam Carolla
Mm. All right, I will tell you guys about. And again, Gina Grad's showing up in a couple of years.
- [25:56]
Chris
I never addressed what happened with her.
- [25:57]
Adam Carolla
Right.
- [25:57]
Chris
She's on the way back from Big Bear.
- [25:59]
Adam Carolla
Got a blowout.
- [26:00]
Chris
That's what I heard.
- [26:01]
Adam Carolla
Was that. Oh, there it is. And it's in her Subaru. It's bad times tires and run flat tires.
- [26:10]
Chris
That tire looks shredded to me. Is that.
- [26:12]
Adam Carolla
That's a blow. Well, that's what happens after it blows out. You got to drive a little bit. Can we. And let me say this. Speaking of cars, I'm going to rant a little bit here.
- [26:24]
Chris
Finally.
- [26:27]
Adam Carolla
I was driving here the other day and it was a big slowdown on the freeway and a big kerfuffle. And where's all the traffic coming from? In the left lane. Not the diamond lane, but the left lane. The one closest to the diamond lane were two people like middle aged blonde woman just standing outside of her car with a car that had no apparent damage. And I know you guys have heard this one before, but I want to paint a little example that'll probably help bring it home. Los Angelenos. Of course, the sign says light up. Freeway sign says slow for the cone zone or whatever, some nonsense on it, but people aren't coached up. This is a middle aged white woman who statistically is not gonna be killed by stray bullet or mauled by a pit bull. This is the way she's gonna die statistically, at her age and her tax bracket and her skin color is standing on a freeway, having a conversation. Having a goddamn conversation. Now, what I always do, which makes me a huge douche, is I honk when I go by, which I'm sure exacerbates their situation. But hey, idiots, pull over. Get off. So they're having this exchange of information and fluids and whatever else. Gina grad here. Good to see you.
- [27:49]
Gina Grad
I'm so sorry about that.
- [27:51]
Adam Carolla
Your tires spawned a ramp.
- [27:53]
Gina Grad
I did stumble off the freeway. Don't worry.
- [27:55]
Adam Carolla
They're just having this stupid conversation. And as I drive past the car, I can't even see damage. Now, it's their fault, but it's the city's fault for not making people aware what they need to do this. But if you want to know what cars are capable of, I have all you have to do. Look no further than two events for me. The Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach. Guys get into it in a way that you cannot believe. The collisions, the contact people hitting cement barriers, bumpers dragging and dropping. And if people just, like, put the car into reverse and start, start off, like, you have no idea what these things can take. But you do. Because all Los Angelenos have seen these high speed Pursuits. And the guy, they're always just driving. They're never driving the rig that the Rock drove in fast, you know, fast seven. They're driving a Camry with a baby seat in it. And you see that thing. And these guys started in Pomona and, and now they're in Granada Hills and the cops tried to bang them and throw the spikes strip out and oh, one of the tires is bald. Now it's completely off the rim and there's just sparks coming out and they go down the end and like put it in reverse, they come back around. He's gone to a dead end. He's turned around. Oh, he's up on the curb. The car, the car is completely destroyed and yet very capable of covering tens of miles. In Los Angeles, you can't get off to the goddamn side of the freeway. Of course you can. Why? In a city that just talks about safety, just about safety, with these sort of collisions going on times a million all day every day, why is there nothing. There is no effort to inform the driving public to get over. And then of course you can drive through Utah on a road with nobody on it. And, and it'll. You'll pass a sign that says if it steers, it clears. That just alone, just that sub. Just that one subject alone makes me realize that whoever the powers of B are in Los Angeles have zero interest in you.
- [30:07]
Chris
This is an easy fix.
- [30:09]
Adam Carolla
It's the easiest fix in the world. You have, hey, here's the fix. You have this situation where people are walking around on the freeways assessing non damage in the middle of traffic, okay? And because they don't know any better, they're not, They've never, there's never been a push to push them off the side of the freeway. Get to the, get to the side of the road, put your hazards on and start moving over whatever. And then so you have that problem and then you have these big huge light up freeway signs every 20ft. You could solve this problem with the freeway signs in two days with no cost. With no cost or whatever cost you're currently paying for the. Click it or ticket or slow for the cone zone. Just cut it, just put it up there.
- [30:51]
Chris
No, no, not interested.
- [30:52]
Adam Carolla
Not gonna do it. And if you talk to any city official, their answer will be what, what
- [30:58]
Chris
are those signs again?
- [30:59]
Adam Carolla
Yeah, like there's just. No, there's nothing. All right? Gina grad.
- [31:03]
Gina Grad
Hi. Sorry about that. Very sorry. I was gonna leave last night so nothing like this would happen, but I am so freaking thankful I didn't do that. Because if this happened alone, I would have had to legally been murdered. I was in the woods. It exploded. I would have hated to be alone at night.
- [31:20]
Adam Carolla
How did you get the tire changed?
- [31:22]
Gina Grad
Oh, I called, I don't know, Triple A or one of those guys. And 48 minutes later, he. Those are my two shirts.
- [31:28]
Chris
Turns off.
- [31:30]
Gina Grad
Two of my girlfriends were. They weren't too far behind me, so they came over. But the guy who was coming to change my tire. I thought of you. Because I pick up and I go, hello? He goes, hi.
- [31:41]
Adam Carolla
Where are you?
- [31:42]
Gina Grad
What's your address? Like implying that he had been looking for me. And I gave it to him again. I'm right off the freeway. I'm right there, right? The sign that says welcome to Glendora. I'm right in front of it. That's where I am. I'm sorry.
- [31:52]
Adam Carolla
Oh, cool.
- [31:53]
Gina Grad
All right, I'll be there in, like, 10 minutes. Wait, are you lost or are you not lost? Like, he came in guns blazing, like I had done something wrong.
- [32:01]
Adam Carolla
The language of losers. I'm gonna work on a book.
- [32:05]
Gina Grad
I was so confused why he would lead with that. So then I just hobbled over to Just Tires in Azusa and just got here.
- [32:14]
Adam Carolla
I had this thing. I don't know why I was thinking about the other day, but when I was, like, 25, I had a girlfriend that had an apartment, and I got trapped in the elevator for apartment. And they had the phone in the apartment, and she was like, on the west side. And I was like, oh, I'll call the guy that had the emergency phone. And like, I called the guy. Yeah, in the elevator. And I was like, hey, the elevator stuck. What part of the building are you in? And he's like. He said, I'm in Whittier.
- [32:45]
Gina Grad
That's the east wing.
- [32:46]
Adam Carolla
Away from where this elevator is. Yeah, that's where the phone goes to. And I was like. I remember thinking, as if for my whole life I'd been in elevators and stared at that phone and sort of pictured a guy in an office, either at the top of the building or the top or the bottom of the elevator shaft, just sitting by the phone, staring.
- [33:04]
Chris
Finally, just finally, my time is coming.
- [33:06]
Gina Grad
On the balls of his feet.
- [33:07]
Adam Carolla
Yeah. I didn't know he'd be two counties over. I remember it was funny because I remember going, whittier. It was like Friday night. And I went out. It's like 8 o' clock at night or something. And I was like, no way. And I. I had this weird mom strength where I grabbed the elevator and started wrestling with the door and like, come on, you bastard. And I pulled it open and it sort of rebooted itself and I took off. Yeah, I never called the guy back.
- [33:32]
Gina Grad
Did you happen to see. I don't know if Chris showed you to see the picture of the tire?
- [33:36]
Adam Carolla
Yes.
- [33:37]
Gina Grad
What happened?
- [33:38]
Adam Carolla
What happened?
- [33:40]
Sonny Carolla
It looks like there was a stick
- [33:41]
Gina Grad
of dynamite in it.
- [33:42]
Adam Carolla
The shredding part, I think happens after driving on the flat. Okay, that's my take. Although stuff goes south all the time. All right, we have a call up there for. Here's one for you, Sonny. Guy's got won some money in the fantasy football. Sonny. Brag about your fantasy Father son win. Our big win this year in the
- [34:07]
Sonny Carolla
Father Son our big win or my big win.
- [34:10]
Adam Carolla
It's called Father son league. Boy. The father son league. How did we do in the Father son league?
- [34:19]
Sonny Carolla
How I did was pretty good. I ended up winning.
- [34:24]
Adam Carolla
How much cash did we get that I got?
- [34:27]
Gina Grad
The royal eye.
- [34:28]
Adam Carolla
Yeah.
- [34:29]
Sonny Carolla
1 75. The $175. The second place gets 75 and third gets 50. So $300 was put in.
- [34:40]
Adam Carolla
Right. And we got 175 big time. And then I staked us. So I get kind of the lion's share of that for putting up the money, right?
- [34:48]
Sonny Carolla
Oh, not really.
- [34:49]
Adam Carolla
Yeah, for the 20 at the beginning. Right.
- [34:51]
Sonny Carolla
But I'm the one that we only got at the end of the season. We only ended up keeping four people.
- [34:59]
Adam Carolla
Yeah.
- [34:59]
Chris
Made a lot of transactions.
- [35:00]
Gina Grad
Who did all the tinkering? Sonny.
- [35:01]
Sonny Carolla
Me.
- [35:02]
Gina Grad
Okay.
- [35:02]
Chris
Sonny. Memories and personality.
- [35:03]
Adam Carolla
We'd be up usually pretty late Saturday night going over stats and scores, kind of projections.
- [35:10]
Gina Grad
One of those beautiful mind walls.
- [35:12]
Adam Carolla
Sometimes we'd have to agree to disagree. And they're like, I wanted to get the Camara.
- [35:17]
Chris
There were some harsh lines.
- [35:18]
Adam Carolla
So I'm like, this guy's. This guy's. You know, this guy's an up and coming. This Camaro.
- [35:24]
Sonny Carolla
Say anything. You were in your office watching Tucker Carlson.
- [35:27]
Chris
So at the end of the day,
- [35:31]
Sonny Carolla
Alvin Kamara.
- [35:33]
Adam Carolla
Yeah. So I had this big clear board with a dry erase marker on it. And I would draw, you know, sort of diagram like that. Have all the players on one side and yeah. Color coded. Like blue meant we think this guy's going to perform well this way. Red was like injured.
- [35:48]
Gina Grad
Right.
- [35:48]
Adam Carolla
And then. And then yellow would be like, no, we're not going to. Not going to play him. And so we did a lot of that. And eventually
- [35:56]
Sonny Carolla
yawning and eventually
- [36:00]
Gina Grad
lies make him tired.
- [36:01]
Sonny Carolla
You didn't do anything.
- [36:03]
Chris
So Sonny, he put up the 20 bucks to get you into the league. You won 175. Give him his 20 bucks, please.
- [36:08]
Gina Grad
Give him 20 bucks.
- [36:09]
Chris
25 bucks for his troubles, and he'd walk away with a cool 150.
- [36:11]
Guest or caller (possibly Stick or Garrett)
Okay, that's fair.
- [36:13]
Adam Carolla
Yeah. He's never gonna do that.
- [36:14]
Chris
For his troubles.
- [36:15]
Adam Carolla
He's never gonna do it. Who drove to the. To the meeting?
- [36:19]
Sonny Carolla
I would have walked there. You insisted.
- [36:22]
Adam Carolla
Wow.
- [36:22]
Ronnie from Corona
Please.
- [36:24]
Adam Carolla
Hey.
- [36:25]
Sonny Carolla
I mean, mom probably wouldn't have let me.
- [36:26]
Bald Brian
It was either.
- [36:27]
Adam Carolla
Walk.
- [36:28]
Sonny Carolla
Yeah.
- [36:29]
Adam Carolla
Walking. Dangerous. Hey, Kyle.
- [36:34]
Ronnie from Corona
Yeah.
- [36:34]
Adam Carolla
What's going on? So you won a lot of money with your fantasy football?
- [36:39]
Ronnie from Corona
Well, I won a thousand dollars in fantasy and. Which was nice. And then we're trying to figure out what to do with it, and we couldn't think of anything. It was just, you know, and my wife's a big Steelers fan, and I said, how about we bet against the Steelers in the playoffs against the Jaguars, and if we win, we got 2,000, and there's a chance, you know, the two Steelers could win and we could win as well, because those seven and a half points. We did that. We won. So we're at 2,000, and she kind of got the itch. She's able to make another bet for 1000. So worst case scenario, back to our original thousand. We won that as well. So now we're sitting at $3,000, and we're trying to figure out how to allocate that money.
- [37:24]
Chris
That's a good chunk of change.
- [37:26]
Gina Grad
Yeah.
- [37:27]
Adam Carolla
Yeah.
- [37:27]
Ronnie from Corona
So it's.
- [37:28]
Adam Carolla
It's you guys living in a house.
- [37:31]
Ronnie from Corona
Yeah. Own a house, have two kids, college funds, no debt. So it's. We're very, you know, financially, we're in good shape. And so last year, we really, you know, we had a kid early last year, we didn't do. I mean, we went out to three dinners total by ourselves, you know, because we don't have babysitters. So want to do something for us? Either get something or, you know, save up to go on a trip, or we're just trying to figure out, you know, what.
- [37:56]
Adam Carolla
This is not. You're not trying to figure out how to invest this?
- [38:01]
Ronnie from Corona
No, no. Yeah, we're something fun because it's basically like finding $3,000 on the street. Right? So what can we do?
- [38:10]
Adam Carolla
My first thought was Brian is actually more qualified to answer my first.
- [38:14]
Chris
Like Kyle mentioned, take a trip. That's an awesome, like, long weekend.
- [38:17]
Gina Grad
Like, Brian, they're not taking a trip.
- [38:18]
Chris
He was specifically mentioned, you know, by yourselves.
- [38:22]
Gina Grad
Kyle, how old do you think she's gonna have to be. Yeah.
- [38:25]
Sonny Carolla
You can go to an opening Steelers game because you said that you were a big Steelers fan. Next season.
- [38:30]
Chris
Yeah, man. Playing this season.
- [38:32]
Ronnie from Corona
Big Steelers fan. I'm not much of a Steelers fan. That's a good idea, though, Sonny. I like that.
- [38:39]
Adam Carolla
Well, I'll say. I'll tell you, this Pittsburgh, much nicer town than you. You'd gather from watching Flashdance.
- [38:48]
Gina Grad
Not just a steel mill.
- [38:49]
Adam Carolla
It's pretty damn nice. I mean, you could have some fun over there if you got the tickets in advance and booked the flights and got a nice hotel room and went to Permantes and did the whole nine yards. That could be interesting in a sort of homage to the money you've made. Kyle.
- [39:11]
Ronnie from Corona
Yeah.
- [39:12]
Adam Carolla
See, my. My.
- [39:12]
Ronnie from Corona
That's a good idea.
- [39:13]
Adam Carolla
My impulse.
- [39:14]
Ronnie from Corona
I'm thinking Napa, Tahoe. I mean, we're just throwing out some stuff, and it's up. We have two kids, two little kids.
- [39:20]
Gina Grad
Tahoe's awesome.
- [39:21]
Adam Carolla
Tahoe is awesome. The drive from through Yosemite to Tahoe, I think it's about the nicest ride ever. I think Philip the Juggler was playing Caesars. He was booked at Caesars in Tahoe. And when I was poor, my version of a vacation would just be go to wherever Philip the Juggler was playing. And he'd let you know. He let me. They would give him a crappy condo, like the performers condo, because he'd be there for, like, two weeks or something like that. And I could go sleep on the sofa for free and watch his show for free and do all this. Everything was for free. If I could just get a plane ticket from Burbank to Tahoe or whatever. And I flew out there and we hung out for a few days, and then we drove. Actually, we camped. We drove from Tahoe to Yosemite and then, like, through Yosemite and back to wherever. I'd have to see it. Brian probably sees it in his head better than I do. But we ended up camp. We camped along the way. It was great. But I remember the highway. I remember that drive being just magical, picturesque mountainside.
- [40:38]
Gina Grad
Yeah.
- [40:38]
Chris
Driving.
- [40:41]
Gina Grad
We vote for Tahoe.
- [40:42]
Adam Carolla
Yeah. We're going Tahoe and gamble.
- [40:45]
Gina Grad
Yeah. Lots of gambling.
- [40:46]
Chris
Yeah. Teach your kids the value of gambling.
- [40:48]
Adam Carolla
Yes.
- [40:49]
Ronnie from Corona
Well, that sounds like a plan. I appreciate, guys.
- [40:52]
Gina Grad
And you can go to one side of town, get your weed, and go back and gamble.
- [40:55]
Adam Carolla
That's right. Hold your ears, Sunny.
- [40:57]
Gina Grad
I'm sorry.
- [40:57]
Adam Carolla
So, Sunny.
- [40:59]
Sonny Carolla
Yep.
- [40:59]
Adam Carolla
What do you. What's the plan for when you're older? You want to be Like a sportscaster or something?
- [41:06]
Sonny Carolla
Yeah, like maybe like Joe Buck or Troy Aikman. Except Troy Aikman was in the NFL, so it's probably easier for him to be a. Like a sport cast analyst. Yeah, but like maybe on ESPN talking about basketball or football or something like that.
- [41:27]
Adam Carolla
You thinking about playing tackle football?
- [41:31]
Sonny Carolla
I was thinking about trying out for the team. The middle school team, actually.
- [41:38]
Chris
That's flag though, right? They don't have the tackle in middle school, do they?
- [41:40]
Sonny Carolla
Yeah, no, they. Yeah, they do. They have both a flag team and tackle team. So if I don't make the tackle team, I'll try out for the flag team.
- [41:47]
Adam Carolla
You've been thinking about playing tackle for about five years.
- [41:52]
Sonny Carolla
Yeah, but when I was seven, it was like.
- [41:58]
Adam Carolla
Yeah, See, when I was your age, I was already severely injured and had been concussed multiple times. I don't think your mom's happy. I don't think she would like you playing tackle.
- [42:08]
Sonny Carolla
Yeah, maybe not, but would that sway
- [42:13]
Gina Grad
your decision to try out?
- [42:15]
Sonny Carolla
No.
- [42:15]
Gina Grad
No. Okay.
- [42:17]
Adam Carolla
No respect from her. Awesome.
- [42:20]
Gina Grad
That's what he wants.
- [42:21]
Adam Carolla
Yeah. All right, let me tell you guys about Dollar Shave Club and then we'll get on with it over here. Dollar Shave Club has me looking and feeling amazing. I use almost everything they have. The razors, the body cleanser, hair gel, even the butt wipes. Nothing better than the butt wipes. And they deliver it to you. No more annoying trips to the store. Now's a great time to try Dollar Shave Club. Get your first month their best razors, plus travel size shave, butter, body cleanser, and the butt wipes, all for just 15 bucks. Oh, sorry, just five bucks.
- [42:58]
Chris
Five.
- [42:58]
Adam Carolla
I'm giving you a discount.
- [43:00]
Chris
They're losing money on this deal.
- [43:01]
Adam Carolla
Just. They have to. I got the kit in the next room. It's way too much stuff. And also, the whole thing is like. You go to the store. It's a sad testimonial, but if you go, here's how you know you live in a bad city. If you go to Home Depot, you have to go find someone to unlock the shark cage to get spray paint. It's all locked up. And if you go to the Rite Aid or whatever and you need razor cartridges, you have to go find that guy's brother with a set of keys to unlock these things because they have anything that has any value and is smaller than a pack of cigarettes must be locked up in la. Not a good sign.
- [43:42]
Chris
It's a good sign.
- [43:42]
Adam Carolla
I bet they don't do that. Spokane. Anyway, let's not go through that very depressing ritual, especially if you're out here. So you. After, by the way, after you get the whole kit for just five bucks. Replacement cartridges ship for just a few bucks a month. It's the DSC starter kit again, just five bucks. Exclusively Dollar Shave Club dollarshaveclub.com Adam. Good stuff. All right, one more call and then we'll get into good sports and news and all the stuff. Coming up. Hey, Ronnie. 42 Corona.
- [44:23]
Ronnie from Corona
What's up, everybody? It's Ronnie from. Hey.
- [44:25]
Gina Grad
Hey, Ronnie.
- [44:27]
Adam Carolla
Hey, Ronnie from Corona.
- [44:29]
Ronnie from Corona
What's going on, guys? And bald Brian. And. Hey, little Sonny. I love to hear you, man. You're as sharp as a tackle. And I gotta say something, buddy. Your dad's trying to pull one over with this gambling stuff, and he's trying to get into your kitty jar there, and you gotta put your hand down on him and say, dad, I'm the one running this show. And you know, he's got his own shows and you got your own.
- [44:51]
Chris
That's right.
- [44:52]
Sonny Carolla
Thank you. That's good advice.
- [44:55]
Adam Carolla
Thanks.
- [44:55]
Ronnie from Corona
I know.
- [44:56]
Adam Carolla
Now, Ronnie, Ronnie, I went on the. I went on the Twitter fear after you called in last time, and I got a lot of people going, this guy's not Ronnie from Corona. He's a character, and he's not the real deal.
- [45:10]
Gina Grad
We don't want to believe that.
- [45:11]
Adam Carolla
I don't want to believe it either, but that is. That is what I read.
- [45:17]
Ronnie from Corona
Now, that's not true, dude. I mean, I'm. First of all, you know, I'm real because I'm coming after Gina. She's gonna be my new girl when I get a chance. But I've been busy with things. But, you know, Gina, if you would have borrowed my Jeep.
- [45:29]
Gina Grad
Yeah.
- [45:30]
Ronnie from Corona
If you would have borrowed my Jeep for the weekend, you would have never had that problem.
- [45:34]
Gina Grad
That's true. That crawler, or. What's it called? The climber. The.
- [45:38]
Adam Carolla
Yeah.
- [45:38]
Gina Grad
Yeah, man. Yeah. I should have. I should have taken you with me.
- [45:42]
Adam Carolla
I saw a guy, like, in my. My pantheon of guys, I can't hang with two dudes I saw by my house over the weekend walk. And Phil. One is. Hang on, Ronnie. One is. The guys I couldn't hang with in the past were the douches on the Harleys who take the baffles out. Just make as much noise as humanly possible. The crown of stupid. Hey, look at me, everybody. This guy. I just need an excuse to wear lame boots and have a stupid jacket and have, like, a jean jacket with, like, a leather vest over the jean jacket. Like, it's weird. It's like, hey, you're 51. Like, come on. When you. When you drop. It's not Halloween, but all right. You're making tons of noise. Well, I'll hear you. That is the greatest story I ever heard. Danny Bonaduce is not interested in motorcycles whatsoever. Other than all of this window dressing with motorcycles. I have no problem with a guy who wants to go carve up a canyon on a motorcycle anonymously. It's the hey, look at me. And also the hey, look at me guys, ironically, are riding, essentially Barca loungers with handlebars. Like, there is no. That thing gets 18 miles to the gallon. And no, you cannot drag your knee on a windy mountain road on that. It's big, it's unwieldy, it's slow. It's like, whatever it is, he big fairing in front of you. Big windshield fairy, rather. It's all the opposite of why you want a motorcycle, except for the look at me part. These ass douches now, they now have stereo systems in these bikes. So now, not only do I have to listen to this guy's baffle this exhaust, I got to hear 38 special blaring out of this idiot's mobile while I'm walking the dog. It's a new thing. Now, these stair. It's not brand new, but, I mean, these bikes have become popular. One with the side cases on the back and the kind of. It's called a fairing. The thing that's in the front and do kind of like this song.
- [47:44]
Gina Grad
But not that I don't want to be.
- [47:46]
Adam Carolla
I don't want to have to unwillingly be exposed to your life. That's the thing. As much of your life as you can keep out of my life. That's what I'm praying for. Although I was thinking about the 38 special song. Is it say Goodbye or I can never say goodbye or I can't say goodbye or gonna. We're gonna find the say Goodbye 38 special song because I think it might be a tool tune. It might. It might be a tool. Yeah. And the guy's throwing revs, and he's there, and I'm forced to. I'm forced to look at him and go, huh? I wonder wonderful what he does. Like, I wonder if he's married. Like, I wonder is that bike. Is that a Saturday bike? Or she drive that to work on Monday.
- [48:30]
Gina Grad
Weekend warrior.
- [48:31]
Adam Carolla
I wonder what's going on. And I wonder if he lives here or there's somewhere else he lives and he's kind of passing through. Like, I have to have thoughts about you. I have to get so caught up in you.
- [48:41]
Gina Grad
And he wins.
- [48:42]
Adam Carolla
Little boy, old boy. I don't want to get caught up in you Old guy. Let's see.
- [48:47]
Chris
I don't know what that song is.
- [48:49]
Adam Carolla
See, Dawson will find the 38 special song. This one is a definite. Don't want to. Let's see. You'll find it.
- [49:00]
Bald Brian
Come on.
- [49:03]
Adam Carolla
Is this 38 special? This is 38 special. Oh, yeah. Lost their edge. This is when every song sounds like a Bruce Spring team song. Everything just started this way. Oh, yeah. I love this one, though.
- [49:24]
Gina Grad
No way to roll the windows up on the bike with this one.
- [49:28]
Adam Carolla
Yeah. So they're all these guys in this new, popular brand of bike, which is all these side cases and these fairings with the stereo blaring. They're wearing their flat black non helmet Yamaka helmet. Wait, is this the song I'm talking about? Oh, yeah.
- [49:52]
Gina Grad
Has a police vibe.
- [49:58]
Adam Carolla
All right, then it's 38 specials. Like, next hit. We heard two, this will be the song I'm Talking about is their third probably. Yeah. Tool tune.
- [50:09]
Gina Grad
This has Karate Kid montage written all over.
- [50:12]
Adam Carolla
Does. What music you like, Sonny?
- [50:16]
Chris
I was gonna say you like anything that drives your dad nuts.
- [50:18]
Adam Carolla
What?
- [50:19]
Gina Grad
You like anything that drives your dad crazy or you like the same stuff
- [50:22]
Sonny Carolla
like Pearl Jam, Foo Fighters and stuff.
- [50:25]
Adam Carolla
Ooh. I was with John Hyatt last night on us.
- [50:28]
Sonny Carolla
Yeah, you told me.
- [50:30]
Adam Carolla
Hold on. I did not tell you I was with John Hyatt last night. I told you I was going to see John Hyatt last night.
- [50:39]
Sonny Carolla
The tickets for free. Because you, like, taught. You emailed him or something like that.
- [50:43]
Adam Carolla
Well, first thing out of Sonny's mouth, how much. How much were the tickets? I said I got him comped, but I was backstage. Went on this tour bus after he did a magnificent show, and I told him, I got my son into you as well. So I told Mr. Hyatt last night that Sonny was into it.
- [51:04]
Chris
Sonny, you're almost 12, right?
- [51:06]
Sonny Carolla
Yeah.
- [51:06]
Adam Carolla
Oh, here we go.
- [51:07]
Chris
You're going into middle school.
- [51:09]
Sonny Carolla
I'm not in middle school right now,
- [51:11]
Chris
but yeah, I was gonna say it's about time for you to discover a band or a musician that your dad hates. I mean, that was Guns and Roses for me. That was prime Guns and Roses time.
- [51:21]
Adam Carolla
Jewel Tuney. It's gonna kick in in a second. You guys will go, oh, yeah, this is big Tool Tuni. Any. Any familiarity yet?
- [51:37]
Chris
Not to me. It Sounds like a lot of songs, but true.
- [51:40]
Gina Grad
Five second.
- [51:43]
Adam Carolla
Turn it up, Dawson. Take a good look at my face could you taste the time Just to stand here in my. Here we go. Smile could you smile inside? Just. Man, this may transcend the toolbox for me. I'm just into this song.
- [52:19]
Chris
Good song.
- [52:24]
Adam Carolla
We should all apologize at 38 special. It's a hell of a band right now. All right, Loxy, can you cover this? Yeah, come on, come on. Play some good music.
- [52:37]
Ronnie from Corona
Yeah, my bad.
- [52:37]
Bald Brian
Yeah, I'll get on that.
- [52:39]
Adam Carolla
So selfish to play all your own crap.
- [52:41]
Bald Brian
Thanks, Brian.
- [52:42]
Adam Carolla
How about some 38 special, man, so we can enjoy ourselves? All right. Ronnie from Corona.
- [52:51]
Ronnie from Corona
Dude, you're so right about those Harley D bags. You know, the Harley guys only listen to three different bands. 38 Special, which has two drummers, which makes them Super Douchy, Leonard, Skynyrd and Meatloaf. That's it. Those are the. That's the only bands. And sometimes they'll sneak in some van Halen from 1984, but that. Dude, that's about it, man.
- [53:11]
Gina Grad
And astute.
- [53:12]
Ronnie from Corona
I know. Hey, can I do something special for all you guys?
- [53:15]
Adam Carolla
Yeah. I didn't know 38 Special had two drummers. I like that.
- [53:21]
Ronnie from Corona
It's redundant, though. Hey, I've got an idea for you guys. It's called the 909951 update. Can I do that for you live right now?
- [53:29]
Chris
Oh, well, explain what that means to people who are not in the area.
- [53:32]
Gina Grad
Is that an area code?
- [53:35]
Ronnie from Corona
So I have to live out here. I'm a millionaire, like Corolla is, but I've got family out here, so I'm sort of stuck out here. And when he makes fun of the Inland Empire, I know what he means, because there's a lot of douchebags out here. And. And so I was just thinking, like, what's happening right now is there's always a fight between the 909 and the 951 and the 714-818 and all the better area COD.
- [53:59]
Adam Carolla
Yeah.
- [53:59]
Ronnie from Corona
So I thought I could get you guys up to speed because I know
- [54:03]
Adam Carolla
I never know who these guys are who are like, I'm representing the 818. Shut up, you idiot. You're randomly born into this hellhole and now you're representing. Yeah, but you represent by getting the hell out. It's such an insane thing. It's so insane.
- [54:22]
Chris
Strange thing to take pride in.
- [54:23]
Adam Carolla
Yes, especially if you come from Corona. I mean, Corona's a pile of crap. I'd never been more depressed than when I had to work in Corona on two Saturdays. I literally. I remember just thinking, I gotta quit this job. When I was doing catch a contractor, I was like, Corona, Saturday, 108 degrees. Just like. It was like somebody, like a dump truck was speeding down the street and just spilled. Mexicans everywhere. And it's just like. It's just scattered everywhere, and everyone's just walking in a circle looking for a place to die. Dirt lawns. I just remember. I just remember being wildly depressed.
- [54:59]
Sonny Carolla
But anyway, I remember going to how to catch a contractor with you. And I remember we got into the car and it said the temperature that was in the car, and it was 114.
- [55:09]
Adam Carolla
Oh, God.
- [55:11]
Gina Grad
They do have a nice. You do have a nice resort there, but that's about it. You got that hot spring.
- [55:15]
Adam Carolla
All right, so anyway, you want to do some rap about this norcode and that area code?
- [55:22]
Ronnie from Corona
I do. I found it. It's the 909951 update with Ronnie from Toronto.
- [55:28]
Adam Carolla
All right, go ahead. We'll see how far we get into this before we start cranking 38 special.
- [55:33]
Ronnie from Corona
Okay, everybody. So it's Ronnie confirmed and giving you the update. And if it weren't enough in Paris, California to have those 13 kids being taken over by their parents, the one that looks like Adam's mom. Another thing just happened in that city that everybody's talking about. A skydiver. He just. His chute didn't open in the same city of Paris, and he went through the tile roof right into the people's living room. And he's dead, but he's from Canada, so nobody really cares.
- [55:59]
Adam Carolla
Interesting.
- [56:01]
Ronnie from Corona
I know.
- [56:02]
Adam Carolla
Skydiver comes through your roof. Wow. And, well, I wonder where the people that happened to you.
- [56:10]
Ronnie from Corona
Yeah, I was at the motocross track there. Elsinore motor, because I used to be a motocross dude. And they take. The dudes came from the skydiving place, and they said, hey, we're missing one of our guys. And we're like, okay, well, what do you mean? And they're like, one of our guys. We can't find him. And so we're all motoing around the track. And then I noticed there's this, like, kind of fabric thing behind the big berm. You know, like a bolt turn.
- [56:36]
Adam Carolla
Yeah.
- [56:36]
Ronnie from Corona
So we jumped off the track and we circled around, and it was a dude that pile drive himself down into the. Into the dirt, and he was dead as a doornail.
- [56:44]
Adam Carolla
They. Paris is where all the skydiving goes down.
- [56:49]
Ronnie from Corona
Yeah, it's a good place for that.
- [56:51]
Adam Carolla
Yeah.
- [56:51]
Ronnie from Corona
And then, hey, something else that we got in the 951 is one of the guys just did some research and found out that Vinny Tordorich is really Danny Atario from Dance Fever.
- [57:01]
Adam Carolla
Oh, Dan, hold on.
- [57:04]
Bald Brian
It's.
- [57:06]
Adam Carolla
Hold your ear, son. I don't want you to think your dad's gay. It's Denny Torrid. Not Danny. Danny.
- [57:12]
Chris
A lot of people think that.
- [57:13]
Adam Carolla
Not Danny A. Terrio. Danny Terry, or. We'll look it up. Yeah, it's Denny.
- [57:19]
Ronnie from Corona
Sorry.
- [57:19]
Adam Carolla
All right.
- [57:21]
Ronnie from Corona
The same dude, though. Same guy.
- [57:23]
Guest or caller (possibly Stick or Garrett)
Vinny.
- [57:25]
Adam Carolla
So you're saying that Vinnie Tortorich is actually Denny Terrio from Dance Fever?
- [57:32]
Ronnie from Corona
It is. It is. I've got proof, dude. I looked it all up on the Internet, and they look exactly the same.
- [57:37]
Chris
The timeline matches up.
- [57:39]
Gina Grad
Yeah.
- [57:40]
Adam Carolla
Kind of.
- [57:41]
Gina Grad
Same propensity for the clothing.
- [57:42]
Adam Carolla
Kind of looks like him. And also, I think Denny. I think Denny Terrio's. I think one of his claims to fame was he was Merv Griffin, who owned everything and produced every TV show and did everything. Merv Griffin, also, back in the day, when these people sung, except for I, it was unclear whether he sung because he was a good singer or because if you had a TV show, you had to sing. Yeah, it's like a package. Like, it's like Bob Hope would sing, and it's like. Or the George Burns and stuff like that. It's like. But you don't sing. Yeah, but I have to. I'm holding a microphone. What am I gonna do? I have to sing. It's like. I don't know. Tell. Tell jokes, and then put it down. Please get away from it. But don't sing. Yeah, they'd all just sing. Sing. So Merv would sing. And Merv. We're looking at. We're looking at Vinnie and Danny Terrio, and it turns out that Ronnie's right. I believe the story with Denny Terrio is he claims that Merv tried to pervade on him, made the moves, like, on a private jet or something, like flying out to New York or something, and he went all Kevin Spacey on him. And I think you can look that up if he, like, sued him or whatever it is. But that was. Hey, the guy's name is Merv.
- [59:16]
Chris
That's what he heard of Danitario.
- [59:19]
Adam Carolla
Yeah. Merv also famously was the one who. If you guys want to bring it all around to whatever's going on today, Merv Griffin was also the guy who I think famously bought a hotel in Atlantic City from Trump and completely got screwed on the Deal or whatever. It was another thing where it's like Trump was bragging about how much he sold this place for, like, right before Trump.
- [59:44]
Chris
Trump was bragging?
- [59:46]
Adam Carolla
Yeah. Donald Trump.
- [59:47]
Ronnie from Corona
Oh, yeah.
- [59:48]
Chris
I have to look that up.
- [59:49]
Gina Grad
If you say so.
- [59:49]
Adam Carolla
Yeah. Yeah. Well, back then he was like, oh, yeah, you're right.
- [59:52]
Chris
But he's chattier. He's grown up a lot.
- [59:54]
Adam Carolla
Yeah, yeah. It wasn't the pillar sophistication that he is now, but there was. There was some deal with Merv and the hotel. And, like, right before Atlantic City fell, the bottom fell out on Atlantic City. He sold him this property for, like, way too much money because Merv had, like, properties and everything else. All right, we'll see if we can find.
- [60:13]
Chris
Hey, is anyone else curious how Ronnie became a millionaire?
- [60:16]
Gina Grad
Oh, he told us, remember, he inherited it, right?
- [60:21]
Adam Carolla
Yeah.
- [60:22]
Ronnie from Corona
It's a lot of trust fund money. And you know something? There's one other guy that's missing in that trifecta, so it's Danny Terrio and then Tortorich and then a guy named Johnny k from Coast 103.5. There's rumors that all three of those guys are the same dude, but we're trying to put all the pieces together, dude. So I've got my guys on the case, if you know what I mean.
- [60:43]
Adam Carolla
Oh, I like. I like, listen. I like listening to the coast because there's two DJs.
- [60:49]
Chris
Soft rock.
- [60:50]
Adam Carolla
Soft rock. They have to do. They have to do the quiet thing. And there's. There's two names I love. It's like, there's one where they go. It's Mike Sacchari and it's like some horrible last name to sing. And then there's a. There's like a Zed Ziggin Bush or something.
- [61:09]
Gina Grad
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- [61:11]
Adam Carolla
Zig Zig and Bush.
- [61:12]
Gina Grad
Something like that.
- [61:13]
Adam Carolla
Yeah. There's like two guys that, like. It's a horrible. That. That poor choir that had to sing. These guys last name must be miserable. We'll look it up. Denny sued Merv in 1991 for sexual harassment.
- [61:25]
Gina Grad
Wow.
- [61:25]
Adam Carolla
To. The case was later dismissed, but he wanted $11.3 million.
- [61:31]
Gina Grad
Ooh, what if it's hush money?
- [61:33]
Adam Carolla
That's from How My Brain Works, people.
- [61:35]
Gina Grad
Ted Zigenbush.
- [61:37]
Adam Carolla
Ted Ziggin Bush. Like on the Quiet, followed by Mike Secularity. It's like, they had to be like, those black chicks had to be like, give me a break. Or somebody named. Don't you guys all have fake names?
- [61:51]
Chris
Yeah. Where's the Casey?
- [61:53]
Adam Carolla
Casey? Nobody named St. Clair no shadow, Steven. Nothing. All right. Hey, Sonny, you want to toss out? We'll give you a plug. What is your website or your YouTube station or whatever it is?
- [62:07]
Sonny Carolla
My YouTube channel is called Sportscasters. We have two videos and seven subscribers.
- [62:13]
Adam Carolla
Yeah.
- [62:14]
Chris
Get ready for that to double.
- [62:15]
Gina Grad
Yeah, man. Goodness is double digits.
- [62:17]
Adam Carolla
That's a YouTube thing.
- [62:18]
Sonny Carolla
Yeah.
- [62:19]
Adam Carolla
Okay.
- [62:20]
Chris
Big time.
- [62:20]
Adam Carolla
All right, Sonny, you go out there and play with the Philly cheesesteak. We're going to the hot dog train today, right? Yeah, yeah. We're going to carnies, get some hot dogs, play throw the ball around. Play with the dog. Yeah, yeah, it's good father son day, right?
- [62:33]
Sonny Carolla
Yeah.
- [62:34]
Adam Carolla
Okay,
- [62:37]
Gina Grad
you try.
- [62:38]
Adam Carolla
I try. All right, we will take a break. We'll have some good sports, and then we'll come back. We'll do some news right after this. And now another actual 5 star iTunes review of the podcast read by Adam's buddy, Ozzy Oswaldo. Word, go to itunes, rate and review the podcast and maybe Ozzy will butcher your review too. Now back to the Adam Carolla show. All right, Sunny's out, Phil's in studio.
- [63:19]
Gina Grad
Phil sitting of front in for Sonny.
- [63:22]
Adam Carolla
God, Phil, it's like, so. We're so horrible. We're horrible. We're horrible masters.
- [63:29]
Gina Grad
What happened?
- [63:31]
Adam Carolla
Phil's. Phil does whatever he wants all the time. You know, like the, The. The, you know, trainers will be like, they. He can't sleep on the bed. If he sleeps on the bed, it's like he sleeps. He doesn't sleep on the bed. He sleeps on my head on the bed. Like, that's what Phil does. Like, Phil, I was out watching Hyatt.
- [63:49]
Chris
He's scratching his back so funny. He's doing the score.
- [63:52]
Adam Carolla
He does whatever he wants all the time. I was out watching Hyatt last night. I got home at like 1am and Lynette had to get up at like 5:45. And at like, I don't know, 6:45. I went to bed at 2. At like 6:45. Phil's just next to me, just smacking me this paw just smacking me. Like, come on. Hey, smack. He uses paw like a weapon. You know what I mean?
- [64:19]
Ronnie from Corona
Wow.
- [64:19]
Gina Grad
Keeps you in line.
- [64:20]
Adam Carolla
Literally just. He just smacked you with his paw. And I'm like, what? What do you want? You want to go outside? You want to go to the bathroom? It's like, you get up, you go walk him outside. He looks at you and then you do the stupid pee pee chant, you know, and then eventually does something and then he stands by the door and looks at you. I'm like, I want to go back to bed, Phil, come on. And it just stands there. If you leave him outside, he'll find something and destroy it. That's his whole move. Like you will be. You will be punished. He'll find a. He'll take a nice deck chair. He'll take a deck chair or mat, a floor mat or something like that. And he'll completely shred it. So then you have to let him back in. And then he comes back in and you close the door and you try to go back to bed. And then you hear a scratch at the door. What? You sit up and he's sitting by the door and he's scratched. He wants out. And it's like, why do you want out? Phil, where are you going? Mommy's not here. Natalia's not here. Sonny's still asleep scratching the door. He just does whatever he wants.
- [65:14]
Chris
He wants out because you want in.
- [65:16]
Adam Carolla
Yeah, he wants whatever it is you don't.
- [65:17]
Chris
Other way around. He wants in because you want.
- [65:19]
Adam Carolla
Whatever he wants is whatever the opposite of whatever you want. And normally Lynette becomes. She's the low hanging fruit here. So she's gotta deal with it. He goes after her and I get to sleep.
- [65:32]
Gina Grad
Well, and I get that because we have a. I have a 15 year old dog and for the last while now, he just doesn't eat. He's not been eating, but he loves when you hand feed him. So I just say, no, no, no. You have to get on the floor, you scoop it into your hand and you gingerly put it up to his nose and you wait patiently and he'll eat. I don't see what the big deal is, but. Yeah, no, I get Lynette. I understand.
- [65:52]
Adam Carolla
We're basically being trained. Phyllis trained us. Yeah. It is not. It's like that episode of Twilight Zone where the Martians come down and they have the cookbook To Serve Man.
- [66:03]
Gina Grad
To Serve Man.
- [66:03]
Adam Carolla
And then, you know, we thought. Yeah, we thought that meant you were going to serve us. We didn't know. We're going to serve us up on a plate.
- [66:09]
Chris
Four humans, right?
- [66:11]
Adam Carolla
That's what happened. Exact same thing happened to me and Lynette with Phil. All right, I got some shows coming up. D.C. kennedy Center, February 9th, stand up there and Stand up shows. And we'll be doing the bass cable commentary as well. And guests coming up. We got Dr. Jordan Peterson. He's going to be in studio. Very interesting guy we talked about before. And Rob Schneider's coming up. The Sklar Brothers coming up this week. So you can go to amcroll.com if you want to know about any live shows or any of that business. All right, I think what we should do is I'll take care of Postmates, and we'll take a quickie break. We'll come back and do the news. How about that? Postmates going to use these guys today for the hot dog train, man. Sonny wants to go watch the Pro Bowl. I want to go monkey around with the cars. I don't want to go wait in line. So we're going to go. And the hot dog train, namely carnies. They don't deliver. So you got to get Postmates, man. What else are you going to do? Can't physically go there and buy a hot dog. I mean, that's for suckers, right? So Postmates, man, they will literally go and get whatever you want for you. You want some tacos, you want a smoke detector, batteries for the smoke detector, little mangria, a little pie, some endless Ran. Anything, anywhere, anytime. Whatever it is, Postmates, we'll get it. We use these guys all the time. Like I said, when you're sitting around and you got a bunch of guys, you're watching a football game. Who wants to get up and miss a quarter of football? Go stand in line. No use. Postmates, man. 30 days. You can try it out for free. They'll deliver any order over 20 bucks when you sign up for Postmates Unlimited. So let's get going here, people. Download the Postmates app on iOS or Android and get anything, anywhere, anytime. Look, 2018, people. Your time is worth something. Time is money, man. Postmates, they get it. All right, we'll do a quick break. We'll come back with news right after this. Give me the News with Grad. News with Gino Grad. Breaking viral.
- [68:24]
Freddie Dreier
All those crazy Trump tweets.
- [68:26]
Adam Carolla
Give me News with Gino Grad. Trouble in the Middle East. Celebrity drunk meltdown. Seek News with Gina.
- [68:33]
Freddie Dreier
Gina.
- [68:37]
Adam Carolla
The News with Gina Grad.
- [68:40]
Gina Grad
So, you know, a few days ago, we talked about Larry Nassar, the doctor for the Olympic team that is now charged with molesting hundreds of girls gymnasts.
- [68:49]
Adam Carolla
Yep.
- [68:50]
Gina Grad
Well, the entire USA Gymnastics Board will resign now in the wake of the scandal stemming from the sexual abuse of all these athletes by former doctor Larry Nassar. That's according to CNBC and the Washington Post. Nassar, he was the former gymnastic sports doctor. He's pleaded guilty to molesting girls and young women, was sentenced to 40 to 175 years in prison. Now, Some of the nation's top gymnasts, including Olympians, Ali Raisman, Simone Biles, you know, household names, said they were among victims and that cleaning out the entire USA Gymnastics Board is just a start.
- [69:22]
Adam Carolla
The Olympics are kind of a metaphor for how big everything just international big. Everything just always goes south. It gets corrupt. You know, whenever you see any stories about Olympic and international and how they pick the cities and how they choose the this, and then it's always a. It's always a big corrupt. It's always gonna be a big corrupt
- [69:44]
Chris
thing that is systemic. I mean, it's in every bit of the, you know, of the. The whole thing.
- [69:49]
Adam Carolla
Yeah, it's my kind of argument for like human nature that's just. This is international human nature. This is. This country's better than most. A lot of the countries that are part of the international, whatever their sort of thing is, like, if you're not trying to scam somebody, you're an idiot. Like you're weak, like you're a sucker if you're not scamming the person. So now we'll just do the Olympics version of that. And it could go no other way.
- [70:16]
Chris
And the city for the Olympics gets awarded to the best scammers.
- [70:19]
Gina Grad
Yeah, exactly.
- [70:20]
Chris
The best Griffiths with the best hustle.
- [70:22]
Gina Grad
And you do wonder about this board, because I was thinking about this, I'm thinking, well, this is a one on one, closed door situation with this doctor quote unquote and these little girls. So how would anyone else know? But if it's hundreds of girls, somebody had to say something and somebody had to ignore them.
- [70:38]
Chris
Known secret, you know, it had been a known thing.
- [70:40]
Gina Grad
It's insane. It's completely insane.
- [70:42]
Adam Carolla
Yeah, it is. And it's also insane, you know, in modern times that this stuff goes on this way. But. All right, so they've, they've cleaned house, the new broom.
- [70:52]
Gina Grad
We'll see what happens. Well, WWWE chairman Vince McMahon announced the return of the XFL Professional Football League in conjunction with a business venture called Alpha Entertainment. That's according to Bleacher Report.
- [71:03]
Chris
Hear that, Sonny?
- [71:03]
Gina Grad
More announcing jobs to get in on this. He announced the league will launch in 2020 with eight teams playing 10 games apiece in the regular season prior to
- [71:12]
Adam Carolla
a four team calling this. See, they let him make up names.
- [71:16]
Chris
He hate me.
- [71:17]
Adam Carolla
Yeah, it's like, oh, he hate me. Out on an island with smack the hoe. Like it's gonna be weird, right? Like it's gonna be a weird. It's tough calling. It's bad enough that a lot of These, like, Serbian guys are in the NBA. We have to, like, nobody can pronounce their names. Like, it's a whole new world. They used to. The most exotic you could ever get back in the day would be Bob Cousy. You know what I mean? But everyone's like, Johnson or Miller, like, whatever. Now there's all these crazy.
- [71:47]
Chris
Maybe a Zonka would trip you up. But even that way, you could kind of figure out Zonka.
- [71:50]
Gina Grad
You'd sound it out.
- [71:51]
Chris
Well, your first name was Larry.
- [71:53]
Adam Carolla
Yeah. Yeah.
- [71:55]
Gina Grad
You're halfway there.
- [71:56]
Adam Carolla
The heavyweight UFC champ is named Stipe Miocic or whatever. Like, when you see his name, you can't read it. You can't pronounce it. You just have to commit it to memory. But you have to commit everyone's name to memory now because it's all so crazy and exotic. Yep.
- [72:11]
Gina Grad
Well, among the things.
- [72:12]
Adam Carolla
I gotta build that wall.
- [72:13]
Gina Grad
Among the things McMahon discussed were remaining professional football by simplifying the game and having more action with fewer lulls in between in hopes to limiting the game to two hours. Additionally, McMahon stressed the importance of the XFL's players having high moral character and said players with a criminal past will not be invited to the league. It is the.
- [72:33]
Adam Carolla
How are you going to play?
- [72:33]
Chris
You might have room for the. The Larry's.
- [72:36]
Adam Carolla
How many kickers do you have? 14.
- [72:39]
Chris
They won the game.
- [72:40]
Adam Carolla
Now we have two. 14 kickers, two long snappers, and then just two backup guards. That's all you have on the team. Because everyone else has a couple of bumps on record over the college playing days.
- [72:51]
Gina Grad
Isn't this more like a Thunderdome of football? Like, there's lights, there's music. It's.
- [72:54]
Adam Carolla
You know, I'm trying to be.
- [72:56]
Chris
It's any given Sunday, I'm trying to
- [72:57]
Adam Carolla
think about those things, like, the things in your life. There are many examples, some that work, some that didn't work. But we're like, the first time back to ufc, first time I heard about girls fighting, I was like, oh, I'm not. No, I'm not down with that. I don't want to watch that. Like, I'm not. I don't want to see them punch each other in the face. I just. I don't think it's sort of like the same thoughts you had about gay. Like, the first time you heard it, you're like, no, they can't get married. They're dudes. You know what I mean? And then at some point, you change. Like, you go, oh, there's Ronda Rousey's. Fighting. And I wanna watch, you know, and I'm hoping, I hope that this does that. My first impulse is the same thing I have with chicks fighting. I'm not gonna watch that. And now I'd be into a chick fight.
- [73:45]
Sonny Carolla
But.
- [73:45]
Gina Grad
What.
- [73:45]
Adam Carolla
What's. But they can't get married.
- [73:48]
Gina Grad
What's the downside? I've been.
- [73:48]
Adam Carolla
Shame.
- [73:49]
Chris
I understand.
- [73:49]
Adam Carolla
Yeah.
- [73:50]
Gina Grad
What's the downside to the setup? Cause it seems like it' shorter, it's faster, it's more fast paced, less rules.
- [73:55]
Adam Carolla
We have a thing where we're kind of going, well, there are no team names I recognize, so I'm not that. You know, whatever. I think we all go into it that way.
- [74:06]
Chris
Yeah. Especially in American sports. We have a real aversion to, like, secondary leagues or things that are considered sort of secondary. Like, I'm not really interested in that second tier. Whatever. It doesn't, for the most part, doesn't hold up or hold interest.
- [74:18]
Adam Carolla
It never seems to work. But I don't know why we're rooting for it to not work. It's just more football for us.
- [74:24]
Chris
Yeah, true. It's a good product.
- [74:26]
Gina Grad
Yeah. By 2020, we'll find out.
- [74:28]
Adam Carolla
Yeah. I mean, it's more beer, less eye contact with daddy. I mean, it's. It's win, win. It's win, win.
- [74:34]
Gina Grad
Well, Rolling Stone reports that Casey Affleck has bowed out of his presenter duties at this year's Oscars amid this tense moment in Hollywood. So, according to Deadline, this is due in large part to ongoing controversy surrounding his own alleged sexual misconduct. A source told the site that Affleck didn't want to be a distraction at the ceremony, during which he would be. He'd present the Best Actress award. And I didn't. I guess I didn't realize this, but Affleck won the award for Best Actor last year for Manchester by the Sea, and Oscar tradition dictates that the previous year's Best Actor presents the Best Actress. I just didn't notice. So Room star Brie Larson, who won best actress in 2016, refused to clap for Affleck when she presented him with the trophy back in 2010.
- [75:16]
Adam Carolla
Wait, all right.
- [75:17]
Freddie Dreier
Sorry.
- [75:17]
Adam Carolla
Wait a minute. She. Brie Larson. She.
- [75:19]
Gina Grad
She won for the room or for room? Yes.
- [75:23]
Adam Carolla
And she presented to him. Wait, I gotta work it out.
- [75:29]
Gina Grad
She must have announced.
- [75:30]
Chris
No, I think she was the previous year's winner for Best Actress. And as she presented his Oscar.
- [75:35]
Adam Carolla
Yeah.
- [75:36]
Gina Grad
She announced him.
- [75:36]
Adam Carolla
She won her room.
- [75:38]
Gina Grad
Yes.
- [75:39]
Adam Carolla
An Oscar for room.
- [75:41]
Gina Grad
Yeah. It was intense.
- [75:42]
Adam Carolla
Do you remember that A real rough watch backstage.
- [75:46]
Chris
I think it was two years ago.
- [75:48]
Adam Carolla
I don't remember it. Last year.
- [75:49]
Chris
It wasn't last year.
- [75:50]
Ronnie from Corona
Year.
- [75:50]
Chris
So she went two years ago, and
- [75:51]
Adam Carolla
then
- [75:55]
Chris
last year was Emma Stone for LA Land. That's what caused the confusion, remember?
- [76:00]
Gina Grad
Right. That was what was written on the card. You're right. You're right.
- [76:02]
Adam Carolla
Yeah.
- [76:03]
Guest or caller (possibly Stick or Garrett)
So.
- [76:04]
Adam Carolla
So she wouldn't. So what's his deal? Do we. I remember hearing things, but I can't keep everyone straight anymore.
- [76:11]
Gina Grad
There's rumblings and mumblings of him taking advantage of, I believe, various female crew members, if memory serves. I could be wrong, but I thought it was like a PA situation, something like that.
- [76:23]
Adam Carolla
He went all Merv Griffin on their ass.
- [76:25]
Gina Grad
That's what I remember.
- [76:27]
Chris
Was it a story last year when. I don't remember when. Brie Larson did not applaud for. Was that even a thing? Did anyone notice?
- [76:35]
Gina Grad
Well, I don't think people were looking for it.
- [76:36]
Adam Carolla
Like, they were. Like.
- [76:37]
Chris
I'm saying, is it only in retrospect, like.
- [76:38]
Adam Carolla
Oh, yeah, I do remember last year when it was a thing she kind
- [76:42]
Chris
of stumbled on because it goes back to 2010 with Casey Affleck and his animations.
- [76:47]
Gina Grad
Am I right in hearing that?
- [76:50]
Adam Carolla
Yeah.
- [76:50]
Ronnie from Corona
Crew members.
- [76:51]
Gina Grad
So back in 2010. Oh, here we go. Two women.
- [76:55]
Adam Carolla
I'm watching my screeners. We're talking about this sort of spoiler alert, Lady Bird. But in the Casey Affleck movie, Manchester by the Sea. Manchester by the Sea, that kid was basically a poon hound. Yes, the same kid. And now the same kid's gone gay on us. Range. A lot of range. That actor's got a lot of range.
- [77:19]
Gina Grad
Big future.
- [77:20]
Chris
He's really good in both movies, too.
- [77:21]
Adam Carolla
It was good. He was good in Three Billboards too. He's the son.
- [77:26]
Gina Grad
Oh, shoot.
- [77:29]
Adam Carolla
That's the same. Oh, yeah, that's right. Yeah. He's good at being kissed at his mom. He's got range.
- [77:34]
Chris
Good call.
- [77:35]
Gina Grad
Good stuff. So back in 2010, two women came forward to accuse Affleck of sexual harassment on the set of 2010's I'm Still Here. Was that that sort of mockumentary, ish documentary?
- [77:45]
Adam Carolla
Yeah, yeah.
- [77:46]
Chris
With the Bob William.
- [77:49]
Gina Grad
Yeah.
- [77:50]
Chris
No, you're thinking of I'm not There. That's the Bob Dylan movie I'm Still Here. Joaquin Phoenix movie.
- [77:56]
Gina Grad
When Joaquin went on Letterman and was all crazy Letterman saying, boy, I wish you would have been here tonight, Joaquin.
- [78:01]
Adam Carolla
I'm the same with movies. I am with cars now. It's just. There's too many. When I was growing up. It's like, what do you got? You got a Dodge Dart, you got a VW Beetle. Like those were choices, but now this is the X1.
- [78:12]
Chris
Now there are letters and numbers. How about a name?
- [78:14]
Adam Carolla
It's so crazy. Yeah, just give. Yes, there's. I'm not here and I'm not there. It's too much for me. Yeah. All right.
- [78:21]
Gina Grad
So he won't be there.
- [78:23]
Chris
He's not there.
- [78:23]
Adam Carolla
He's not.
- [78:25]
Gina Grad
Well, as you may have heard, and I don't know how you feel about this. I'm very, very curious. Murphy Brown. Were you a fan?
- [78:33]
Adam Carolla
Yeah, I kind of remember watching with. With Blair. Blair. She was redheaded. She's attractive. Oh, no, sorry. No, this is not. So I got another TV show, Candice Bergen. And then there's a. What was the. Oh, oh, good luck with. Good luck with this one. Yeah, it was one of my stupid arguments I had with my mom, which I was explaining to her that the Simpsons were the best written comedy on tv. And she was explaining to me, you know. Cause she's so funny, you know, she has so much skill in the comedic world from her expertise that Murphy Brown was better or something like that. But to be fair to her, I don't know if she thought that she was probably just disagreeing.
- [79:19]
Gina Grad
She had to take a contra.
- [79:20]
Adam Carolla
Yeah, right.
- [79:21]
Gina Grad
Contrasting stance. Well, it's getting a reboot.
- [79:23]
Adam Carolla
Oh, maybe I'm thinking of Molly Dodd or something. Yeah, look up Molly Dodd and Blair Brown or something. Something like that. There's another chick run show from the mid-80s.
- [79:39]
Gina Grad
Were there waitresses?
- [79:42]
Adam Carolla
No. Dot Dodd. You're thinking of Dottie or whatever. What is her most famous role? Molly Dodd, I think it is. 80s was like a 80s sitcom that was weird. Serious sitcom or something. That. One of those. It was popular like around the Cosby show and all that. I remember. Cause I wanted to get. I was trapped in an elevator and I wanted to get out to watch. So it must have been on around the late 80s.
- [80:06]
Gina Grad
That's when superhuman mom strength.
- [80:08]
Adam Carolla
Days and Nights of Molly Dodd. It is that or. No, it's something completely. No. Yes, it is that. Okay. We put the photo up. We didn't know if it's the days and nights.
- [80:19]
Gina Grad
I don't remember that.
- [80:19]
Adam Carolla
Molly Dodd. It was a weird. It was popular, but it wasn't long running. And I guess I got my Murphy Browns and my Molly Dodds and they're on about the same time. Maybe Murphy Brown came a little after.
- [80:32]
Gina Grad
Murphy Brown was 88 to 98 this must have been.
- [80:35]
Adam Carolla
This is a 87 to 88 on
- [80:38]
Chris
NBC1 season 88 to 91 on Lifetime.
- [80:41]
Adam Carolla
So moved over to Lifetime.
- [80:42]
Gina Grad
Okay, well, Candice Bergen played the successful no nonsense newswoman. And now creator Diane English and Candice Bergen are joining forces again to resurrect the beloved sitcom for a 13 episode season later this year. So Murphy Brown is the latest in the line of these 80s 90s, 2000 shows that are getting the reboot. There's Will and Grace, Roseanne, American Idol, Queer Eye for the Straight guys. Coming back, the X Files battle of the network stars. Charmed, Dynasty, the Gong Show, Heathers, the Jetsons, Miami Vice, the Munsters, TRL and Twin Peaks.
- [81:14]
Adam Carolla
We're just out. I mean we just, all we want to do is, is recognize things. It's like we're, we're in National Lampoon mode. Which is like National Lampoon used to mean something and then they just started sticking it on to anything that had a set of tits in the air and now it just doesn't even mean anything. It was like, but a National lampoon. Van Wilder, 16, you know, Palm Springs are bust and it's like Levy sitting
- [81:42]
Chris
there with a giant boo behind him.
- [81:46]
Adam Carolla
Right.
- [81:47]
Gina Grad
Just real quick because you mentioned that. Can I tell you, Brian, I don't know if you've seen it. Saw a great movie over the weekend when we were at the cabin in the dark and I always wanted to, I wanted to see it and I want to know what you thought of it. Happy Death Day.
- [82:01]
Chris
I heard good things.
- [82:02]
Gina Grad
It's fantastic.
- [82:03]
Chris
I heard it's like surprisingly good.
- [82:04]
Gina Grad
It's like Scream meets Heather's kind of
- [82:07]
Chris
very tongue in cheek aware.
- [82:08]
Gina Grad
Groundhog Day. Yeah.
- [82:10]
Adam Carolla
Anyway, very self doubt as we speak.
- [82:12]
Gina Grad
Yeah, I think it came out last year.
- [82:13]
Chris
Yeah, it was a horror movie.
- [82:15]
Gina Grad
It's like a millennial horror movie version of Groundhog Day. And she has to keep reliving it to figure out who her murderer is. And it's a black comedy. Really, really entertaining.
- [82:25]
Adam Carolla
Oh yeah.
- [82:25]
Gina Grad
So there you go. Happy Death Day.
- [82:27]
Chris
Really good.
- [82:28]
Gina Grad
So in N out may be known for its burgers and shakes, of course, but the west coast Fest fast food chain has been ranked as one of the best companies to work for in terms of work life balance according to time. In fact, in and out store managers perhaps have the best deal. They earn around $160,000 a paycheck, apparently the or a year, I assume they mean. The VP of Operations said in an interview that they pay employees well to ensure quality service. And that's A central tenet for the company. It always has been since 1948. Meanwhile, the accordion. According to the California sun in N out, employees earn at least 13 bucks an hour when they start. They also get a number of benefits, including 401k paid time off, health care and employee discounts. Which makes for those happy workers.
- [83:09]
Adam Carolla
They're religious folks, right?
- [83:11]
Gina Grad
It says John 3:16 under the bag. I think.
- [83:13]
Adam Carolla
Yeah, it's still family owned. Yeah, I think they're a pretty good example of it's a marathon, it's not a sprint. Like, make a good product, take care of your people. People don't start getting into this stuff where you offer desserts and stuff like that. Like, it's so weird when Taco Bell has desserts, but it's really. What is it? We take spare broken taco shells and cover them with cinnamon and sugar and we call it Cinnetaka Crisp. And it's like, are we out of dessert?
- [83:45]
Chris
Are you eating your garbage?
- [83:46]
Adam Carolla
Can I go to the liquor store next to the Taco Bell and get a Snickers bar? Yes or no? Yes. Okay, I'm out. We're good out. Like just have a good burger and good fries and good malt and that'll be it. We don't have to have a whole lineup that involved tons of different salads and breakfast sandwiches and stuff. Just do this. Yeah, just do this. Keep it clean. Have it be wildly consistent that whatever one you go to, it all smells the same, it all looks the same. Everyone is nice. Everyone. They're doing stuff as fast as they can. And you'll. There's always a line.
- [84:20]
Gina Grad
Happy people, always a line. Have we talked about it on this show? Or is it something that I noticed on my own? They're only located at. At. At freeway off ramps. You're not gonna find an in and out. Really? In the middle of a neighborhood.
- [84:31]
Adam Carolla
At least I haven't the one that was closest to us growing up. Although, remember the Corolla said a rule, if it plugs in, take back, takes batteries or brings joy. We cannot.
- [84:46]
Gina Grad
Can't do it.
- [84:47]
Adam Carolla
We will, we will boycott. We can't partake. So. So in and out would bring joy. So we could not.
- [84:52]
Chris
That's off the list.
- [84:53]
Adam Carolla
Yeah, right. And I remember having that discussion. I was like, hey, it doesn't plug in. It doesn't take fire. It brings joy. Oh, damn.
- [85:01]
Gina Grad
Got me there.
- [85:02]
Adam Carolla
So the one on Lankershim in like North Hollywood or something, like across from the Honda dealer. Whatever it was, I don't know how long that One's been there, but. But my. That was always my in and out. And it wasn't by a freeway off ramp. But I don't know. You try to figure out, Chris, that thing's been there since the 60s or something. I was aware of it later on, you know, when I had a job and I had a pickup truck and we could go there and get in and out.
- [85:30]
Gina Grad
I thought that was a strategic thing by the company that they were always out near.
- [85:34]
Chris
I'm sure it is, but I think they're trying to get visibility. Like the busiest one we all know is the one next to lax. That thing has a line of mile
- [85:41]
Adam Carolla
long for all the times right there should be.
- [85:44]
Chris
I think people got the plane like from out of town. Like, I'm going that in and out first.
- [85:48]
Adam Carolla
Can I say this the part where, you know that thing where the teachers be like, I hope you brought enough gum for the entire class. One day I'd like to just open a trench coat filled with gum and go, yeah, bitch, suck it. I did. And I'm gonna instruct everyone to stick it under the desk when they're done. But you call her bluff. I feel that same way with In N Out burger on the plane. And when it walks onto the plane, within and out. It's cruel. I'm sitting there at this spent dusty. I'm sitting at a little Mylar packet that says Fiesta Mix on it. And it's like someone took a bullion cube and one cashew and just punched it with their fist. And I'm dumping it out on a train. It's a sandy mess.
- [86:28]
Chris
Meanwhile, it's a double double I can
- [86:30]
Adam Carolla
smell like wafting over. You shouldn't be allowed to do that. It's. It's unfair to those of us without the foresight to get double doubles.
- [86:38]
Chris
There ought to be a law.
- [86:39]
Adam Carolla
There ought to be a law. All right, let's do one. Let me tell you about True car, and then we'll do one more. Yeah, man. Get in that car and go wait in line at in and out. It's always busy, so I'll give you a tip. Put that key fob underneath your chin and increase the range. How about that? Find your car in that parking lot after the ball game. It gets dark out there. Here's another tip you might not. TrueCar can also help you get the used cars with a certified dealer network nationwide and inventory of nearly 1 million used cars, which are real pricing on actual inventory and a simpler buying experience. So if you're going new, you're going used. You see what other people paid for the exact same car. You lock in your price, you get your certificate. The true car dealers there are always trying to outdo their neighbors. So they're going to compete and you're going to get the best price and you get your certified certificate and you go to your certified dealer and you pick up your car super easy. No haggling. Check it out. True car. And have a more confident car buying experience. Some features not available in all states. All right, let's do one more.
- [87:52]
Gina Grad
All right. Well, Budweiser may be losing its title as the king of beers. According to U.S. news World Report, for the first time, the lager is no longer one of the top three best selling in the U.S. yes, Miller Light has moved ahead into the number three spot behind Coors Light and Bud Light, which is the top selling beer in the country, by the way. Globally, though, Budweiser still the king of beers. Even though beer marketers Insights says it shipped 970,000 fewer barrels last year. Overall trends for 2017 suggest that people are drinking less beer in general. But King of beers not in the United States.
- [88:25]
Adam Carolla
I assume a less beer mix with thousands of choices. You know, to guys like Brian and guys like myself, like, why would you even buy Budweiser? I mean, and it's fine. It's just there's some handcrafted IPA or something next to it on the shelf. You want to pay an extra three bucks, you'd get that. Yeah. So I think.
- [88:46]
Chris
But Bud Light's still number one.
- [88:47]
Gina Grad
But if we did a blindfolded taste test, could you guys tell the difference between Bud Light, Coors Light, and Miller Lite?
- [88:52]
Chris
100%.
- [88:53]
Gina Grad
Really?
- [88:54]
Chris
Let's do it on tomorrow's Chef.
- [88:56]
Gina Grad
Okay. Wanna.
- [88:57]
Adam Carolla
Yeah. I'm trying to think. And the reason I'm trying to think is cause it's all been drinking endless rant and stone and all the good stuff. And then so it's like, I don't think I've cracked a Bud Light in a long while, but we could try it out.
- [89:17]
Chris
I will say it's a good time of year too, for this because I'm thought of as this craft beer snob who only drinks football season, tailgate, specifically USC games. Lots of Bud Light, lots of Coors. Oh, this is very exclusively Coors Light and Bud Light.
- [89:31]
Gina Grad
All right.
- [89:31]
Adam Carolla
I just remember going on a tour of the Coors brewery, which you guys should all do at some point. Just a drive there is worth it. And like Golden Colorado. And it's amazing. And we got the blonde chick. And the two things. It's the only thing I remember two things about. I remember three things about the Coors tour. One is she had no idea that the movie Smoking in the Bandit existed, which made me angry to start off. The other part was they have. When you finish the tour, you go down to, like, the tasting room at the end, and when you finish the tour, they have some good stuff. It's not just, hey, here's a free thimble of Coors Light. It's like they have a local brew, and it's the one you love, except for you can't buy it anywhere except for within 100ft of where you're standing now, which is, like, kind of frustrating because, like, I'd like to enjoy some of this at home. Well, you can't. Then there's that. And then the other one is when I said, she was explaining, you know, all our mountain. We have Rocky Mountain water, and it comes from the Rocky Mountains, and it's. It's ph. Balance and blah, blah, blah. And it's what gives our beer such a unique flavor, and we've been doing it for 150 years, and blah, blah, blah. And then later on, I think. I know I've told you guys this, but it still cracked me up. Later on, she just mentioned, like, oh, we also have a facility in St. Louis. And I was like, how do you get all the Rocky Mountain water over to St. Louis? And she's like, you know what? It turns out that their municipal water is exactly the same as the Rocky Mountain water.
- [91:12]
Chris
What did you know?
- [91:12]
Adam Carolla
And I was like, that's convenient. All right, now, here's what I think. Now, not that their water is the same, but I don't now give a crap about Rocky Mountain water. I'm assuming you just use the hose here or whatever it is. But I remember just. That was her answer. I like when people give answers to intelligent people and expect them to go, well, what do you know?
- [91:29]
Gina Grad
Especially when it starts off, turns out, funny enough,
- [91:34]
Adam Carolla
I had this conversation. I was trying to fire my pool man.
- [91:42]
Gina Grad
Not successful.
- [91:42]
Adam Carolla
Not successful. And I told Lynette, I said, fire the pool man because I'm tired of telling everyone how to do their jobs and blah, blah, blah. And this guy left a big ring of dirt around the pool. It's a long story. Like, I told him, clean this dirt off. Like, specifically. He didn't do it. The next day, I said, I've had enough. 2018. I'm getting rid of all the incompetence
- [92:01]
Chris
you know, your coffee table book black people think we talk about all day,
- [92:04]
Adam Carolla
fire the pool man.
- [92:05]
Chris
So I'm trying to fire the pool man.
- [92:07]
Adam Carolla
So I'm trying to. So I farm it out. I say, lynette, fire that guy. All right? So it just so happens that the next time he's there, a week later, I'm sort of magically at home. I took Phil for a big, long walk. Lynette and I are almost never home during the day. At the same time. She's off taking care of business. I'm here doing something, and I just, like, walked through the door, and she walked in the living room. It's like I walked. It was like 12:30 in the afternoon. And I said, hey, that guy out by the pool, who I don't know real well, I said, that looks like the same. That looks like the old pool man. And she said, no, I don't think so. The old pool guy wore a floppy hat. This guy's got a ball cap on. And I said, I think it's him, because the guy was kind of stocky. I don't see a lot of stocky pool men. And she said, I don't know. Do you think it is? And I said. And she's like, I don't think it is. I said, it looks like him. I said, hold on. Did you fire the pool man? And she said, no. And I said, okay, now I'm 80%
- [93:11]
Gina Grad
sure it'd be weirder if it wasn't the same guy.
- [93:14]
Adam Carolla
Now, I'm pretty sure it is the same guy. But it was a very unique and interesting conversation we were having as we were staring out of the slider, trying not to be seen by the guy we hired to clean the pool. And I think most husbands will identify with the this conversation. It was a very interesting conversation.
- [93:31]
Chris
Sounds familiar.
- [93:31]
Adam Carolla
It's a very interesting conversation. Now, I could break down how we had the initial conversation or why we had the initial conversation if she didn't fire him. But I've learned just to move on, keep it rolling. Just keep it rolling. So one foot in front of the other. So now we got the same pool. We got the same pool guy. It'd be weird if we did. But it's interesting that we speculate about his hat for a while. And then I said, all right, I'm gonna go talk to him. And my new thing is my language of losers. Thing is, I walked out and I said, I really. It's uncomfortable for me, and I don't like these conversations, but I Just went out. I was like, hey, man, how you doing? Good. I said, duh. Remember last time we talked? Chris will show you a picture. I took a picture. I'm dunking myself in the pool now every day. And it rained, and the leaves came over the top and created this black, sooty line that would crumble and fall into the pool. And I would go in the deep end and submerge myself, and I'd get up and this stuff just be looking me in the face. And I said to the guy, just. Just, I don't know, brush it down or something. And so I said to him that. And then I came out, I said to him, remember last time? And I told it, and I came back the next day, and it was just still. It was covered, like it hadn't been touched. You didn't wipe it down at all. You didn't brush it down at all. And he said, I don't remember that conversation. I said, okay, well, how about you just do your job then? Like, that's part of it. We won't have conversations. What if something happens to me and you have to go on without me and clean the pool? Was my ghost going to come down, tell you to get a goddamn brush out and do your job? Or, like, can you just. You got the word pool and man, like, in your title. Just if you see a bunch of scuba around the side of the pool, I'll now deputize you to clean the goddamn scuba. Should I go talk to the gardener about leaves or. I think it's good on his own. Like he said, I don't remember that conversation. And I thought, that's the language of losers. Why are we talking about the conversation? Of course we should have never had the conversation. Or. It doesn't beg a conversation. It's a bunch of dirt on the side of the pool, and you're the guy who circumnavigates it with a stick.
- [95:58]
Chris
How many different topics can there be
- [96:00]
Adam Carolla
in a conversation with a. I remember the conversation.
- [96:02]
Gina Grad
It's a. You had one job scenario.
- [96:04]
Adam Carolla
It's like, it's implied that I. You know, I'm making it up. Like. No, it was one week ago, you walked in and I saw you through my office door, and I went, hey, man, there's a ring going around the pool. Not that I should have to say anything, but in a world where nobody really does their job, but you feel sort of compelled.
- [96:18]
Sonny Carolla
Yeah.
- [96:19]
Adam Carolla
All right. So we had that conversation. That was awesome.
- [96:21]
Gina Grad
Can't wait to see how it turns out next week.
- [96:24]
Adam Carolla
It's gonna be awesome. All right, live shows everywhere. Atlanta, Buckhead theater coming up February 8th. Me and Dennis Prager. So we got that. And we got the Seattle cruise coming up. Man, we're looking forward to that. We're also gonna be playing in the Moore Theater in Seattle. All the majestic, historic Moore theater. That'll be September 13th, but get your tickets over there. Basic cable commentary. We got Cobra from the cruise available now. I think you'll enjoy that. Go to Chassis and see all the. Ugh. I don't know why. I was looking up something on Amazon or something. I got onto the 24 hour war. It was like I looked to the right. The little things 100% on rotten tomatoes. I was like, oh, yeah, that's right. They got the little mini Rotten Tomatoes thing there. And they looked a little left. 7.3 IMDb. Like, of course. Of course IMDb. Everything has to fall between 7 and 8. They can't. There's no such thing as a 2.
- [97:21]
Chris
It's just.
- [97:21]
Adam Carolla
Okay, it's 100% on that. Then you got 7, 7 3. And it's good enough. C minus. Like every movie. Every movie's 73. I guess I get to enjoy. I get to be in good company. I could be in company like Borat and stuff, because. But what, what? Why do you have a rating system if everything is a 7.3?
- [97:40]
Gina Grad
It gives me no nothing, no joy, no satisfaction.
- [97:45]
Adam Carolla
It does not help inform my decision making when everything is just the same. It's stupid chips, the movies, a 6.
- [97:54]
Freddie Dreier
0.
- [97:55]
Adam Carolla
And I got a point.
- [97:56]
Chris
You're not part of the way.
- [97:57]
Adam Carolla
0.13 ahead. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. All right, now I'm angry. We're going to the hot dog train. So until next time, Adam Crawler Ferns, Sonny Carolla and Gina Grand Ball. Bryan, Say it. Mahala.
- [98:11]
Sonny Carolla
Thank you. That's good advice.
- [98:18]
Adam Carolla
All right, this is Adam Carolla show 22:48 with the great Sonny Caroll in the studio.

Adam Carolla
Mandate. Get it on. Good day, Bald Brian.
- [98:36]
Ronnie from Corona
God hates bags.
- [98:37]
Adam Carolla
Oh, good day, Allison Rose.
- [98:39]
Guest or caller (possibly Stick or Garrett)
Hello, Adam Carolla.
- [98:40]
Adam Carolla
Good to see you. David Wilde.
- [98:41]
Bald Brian
Good to see you, sir.
- [98:42]
Adam Carolla
One of my favorite guys. And Allison, David Wild from Rolling Stone. We'll talk to him about many, many stories. He gave us a nice placemat. And in it is filled with Joni Mitchell and Johnny Cash and Keith Richards, Van Morrison, Bob Dylan, we can ask Madonna, Tom Petty. We can ask. He has a story for all of them. He's spoken to everybody and interviewed everyone in his lifetime and in their lifetime as well.
- [99:08]
Bald Brian
I've annoyed everyone, and now it's your turn.
- [99:11]
Adam Carolla
He says your. He means the audience. So we'll talk to David about that in just one second. I want to thank all you folks for making the Evening with David Dennis Prager available on itunes. Such a big success. Number one on the spoken word chart on iTunes. Number two.
- [99:30]
Guest or caller (possibly Stick or Garrett)
Now you're insufferable.
- [99:31]
Adam Carolla
Number two on Billboard's comedy chart and 19 on the heat seekers chart, which I still don't know what that is.
- [99:37]
Bald Brian
I bought it. I'm a happy, satisfied customer.
- [99:41]
Adam Carolla
Wow. Look at you. Love me some David. Wow.
- [99:43]
Bald Brian
Cause usually when I listen to you, I think I'm going to hell. But when Prager is on it too, I think I'm having fun, and yet I'm probably not going to burn in hell.
- [99:50]
Adam Carolla
You guys are from the same tribe, right?
- [99:52]
Bald Brian
The sort of tall, dark, and handsome tribe?
- [99:54]
Adam Carolla
Yes, yes, yes. Rugged. Good look. Idol. You got what I was going after.
- [99:59]
Bald Brian
I'm NFL legend David Wilde. Sort of like the next guy. Yeah, we are both Jews.
- [100:04]
Adam Carolla
Speaking of celebs, who we're gonna speak to with David about. Oh, Axl Rose. I like to hear about him as well. You ever go to Soho House over there in Hollywood or maybe in Manhattan somewhere?
- [100:15]
Bald Brian
I. I know of it. I've never gone.
- [100:18]
Adam Carolla
I. That everybody I know who's. A lot of people I know have joined the Soho House, and it bothers me because I'm anti that kind of stuff and shishi stuff that costs at
- [100:30]
Guest or caller (possibly Stick or Garrett)
least 10,000 and you have to be sponsored.
- [100:32]
Adam Carolla
Oh, my God. And it's like my wife wants to do it, and I'm like, my biggest fear is running into people I know, and that's even when I like them, when I don't like them. That's. That's a mega fear. Those. That's one of those places where you'll always run into someone you know know. I went. For the love of Christ. I. The last time I went there, the time before we went this Friday, Lynette and I. But the time before I went, I didn't even walk into the Soho House. I just parked my car and walked into the little underground kiosk where you check in and immediately ran into. Oh, remember from Dancing with the Stars? No, I do not. As I shake my head, yes, of course, yes, you. And this is my husband, Tony. How are you? Tony, good to see you. Next. You know, we're in an elevator together and they're asking questions about people whose names I can't remember, who I don't know, but I've already committed, and I'm nodding my head sure, and then I'm thinking, oh, dear God, if I run into one of my friends, if they got here first, if the elevator opens and they're standing there, I'm gonna have to introduce him to the person whose name I can't remember. Or just be a weird douchebag.
- [101:30]
Guest or caller (possibly Stick or Garrett)
They want you to pay to go somewhere that normally you'd pay to not go to.
- [101:34]
Adam Carolla
Yes. And speaking of pay, here's why I'm not joining up. The drink gouging at that joint is unbelievable. Did this. David, you got to be with me on this one. I've always complained that you charging double for a double is insane. It's really like charging 30% more or even 15% more. Like, if a drink is 10 bucks and you say make it a double and they charge you 15, they're still making a ton of cash, but charging double. And by the way, if I knew it was double, I would just order two drinks just to fuck with them. Get me two glasses. Then you can wash two glasses, sets of ice cubes, swizzle sticks, the whole fucking nine yards. I hate it when you order a double and they just double the fucking price because you're really just doubling a little bit of the booze and a little bit of the mix, but it's not double. The fucking work.
- [102:25]
Guest or caller (possibly Stick or Garrett)
Right. There's special cherry, is it not?
- [102:28]
Adam Carolla
That's right. The double was first. We ordered a skinny margarita. Like they had some like, real lime margarita, whatever. And it's like a skinny one and whatever. And it came to. And it was just an inch at the bottom of a tumbler and it was like, oh, that's nothing. So the four of us all just drank it and then we said, well, these were good, but there wasn't anything there. And the next time we ordered, we said, well, you know what? Since there wasn't anything there, make it a double that was $24 a drink. And caught them doing one of my biggest goddamn pet peeves. And I'm telling you, it's a multi billion dollar a year. Ripple off, David, blow the fucking lid off this. This is your next story. Fuck Bono in Africa. I got a real story for you. This bottled water, this, this grift, this bottled water grift, they come around. Would you like flat water? Would you like still water, would you like? Well, and it's. They'll do two things. The first grift is you go just plain, you know, just. Just still water, just regular water. That gets you the $9 bottle of uncarbonated water, but not water for the table. That's you paying. First grift, reclosable sort of Grolsch bottle. Weird blue thing that they clean out and then fill with a Brita filter in the back. At nine bucks a pop, that is a fucking gouge and a half. They're using the same bottles over and over again. The next one is this. We all had a full glass of water at our table about an hour in because we were getting drunk, drinking our skinny, super expensive margarita. And at some point, the guy came around with the bubbly, the second bubbly water thing, and started topping off everyone. And my friend, just because he can't stand it. Actually, his wife can't stand it. Said, we didn't order that. And he went, oh, yeah, I'm just filling it up. Just another bottle for the table. And he went, we don't need any more of that. We're drinking and everyone has a full glass. But the scam of bring over the second bottle without asking, which is total fucking bullshit because you couldn't just bring over an appetizer or bring over a glass of wine and then charge for it.
- [104:31]
Bald Brian
I have watched every Republican debate and this issue has never come up.
- [104:35]
Adam Carolla
God damn.
- [104:35]
Bald Brian
And this is because this is what American. You're scared no one will address us Cowards.
- [104:40]
Adam Carolla
It's the elephant in the room.
- [104:41]
Bald Brian
Can I suggest an alternate hot for you?
- [104:44]
Adam Carolla
Yes.
- [104:45]
Bald Brian
I had lunch today with your wife at Arts Deli.
- [104:48]
Adam Carolla
Who passed, paid.
- [104:49]
Bald Brian
She paid.
- [104:50]
Adam Carolla
She beat me. She paid, she paid, she paid.
- [104:57]
Bald Brian
At which point I ordered the shellfish.
- [104:58]
Adam Carolla
Oh, let me tell you something. Let me tell you something. When the ace man needs a Denver omelette, she's moving like a tree sloth. But when it comes to whipping out that plastic, it's like Zorro. You can actually hear the card snap as it comes out. A little smoke comes off. A little puff of smoke comes off.
- [105:15]
Guest or caller (possibly Stick or Garrett)
Did you feel a little pain in your wallet pocket when it happened?
- [105:17]
Adam Carolla
It was funny. It was about 1:15 today. I went, what is that? Like, weird voodoo credit card? I went, there should be one of those things where, like, guys sit around and chicks go out and rack up huge bills buying jewelry. But they went like, yeah, yeah, she brought you deli. That's right. What you order. Please, please tell me. It was. Please, something Some light fair chef salad. I what? That sent me back 14 bucks. Oh, with the diet code, now we're at 17.
- [105:49]
Bald Brian
Yes.
- [105:49]
Adam Carolla
She's big tipper too.
- [105:50]
Bald Brian
Yeah, but you know, she. She ate light. She ate very light.
- [105:53]
Adam Carolla
Good. Okay, good. All right, so what, the whole thing come to about 33 bucks.
- [105:57]
Bald Brian
She tipped heavily. Actually, I don't. I didn't. Look, I'm gonna assume so.
- [106:02]
Adam Carolla
This water scheme, it's a fucking scam. Anyway, it was $160 for the four of us for margaritas. And listen, at 160, I want to be yakkin before I leave that place. I didn't even have a buzz. I drove the fuck home. I wasn't even buz night. But 160 bucks for nothing. Margaritas and that thing where once they set that bottle down, how many. What percentage of people go to Soho House? They're gonna go, hey, sweetheart, we don't want that second bottle. We didn't order that second bottle.
- [106:29]
Bald Brian
You're the first one.
- [106:30]
Adam Carolla
I bet you you're the first one. And so tack on 9 bucks or 11 bucks times how many tables, times how many nights a week. I mean, it's a fucking cottage industry and it doesn't cost them anything. Greatest deal in the world, right?
- [106:43]
Bald Brian
It's just wrong.
- [106:44]
Adam Carolla
It's just wrong. All right, David, speaking of food. And by the way, next time I'm gonna speak to my wife. Next time, take David Wilde out. Take him to Subway. That's right. They got the fresh artisan sandwiches over there, man. They got those breakfast sandwiches. Did you guys get in on some of those?
- [107:02]
Guest or caller (possibly Stick or Garrett)
Yes. I came here later in the day and I tasted one. It was very good.
- [107:05]
Adam Carolla
Yeah, they brought over the bacon, the bread, brought the ham, and they brought the steak one.
- [107:10]
Chris
They brought them here?
- [107:11]
Adam Carolla
Yeah, they brought them here? Yeah. For a meeting. Yeah, they're hot and fresh. I had about nine of them. Yeah, they got the three buck combo, the six inch breakfast sandwich and the 16 ounce coffee. Or the 21 ounce. The 21 ounce fountain drink. Fountain drink. Sounds good.
- [107:30]
Guest or caller (possibly Stick or Garrett)
It really does. So old timey.
- [107:32]
Adam Carolla
Yeah. Yeah. Subway has the freshest breakfast sandwiches and the freshest talent, by the way, from NYU and USC film schools. They're doing a little fresh artist film series. The Subway Fresh artist dot com. That's Subway freshartist dot com or mydamnchannel dot com and you can watch the shorts, man. They got the steak and egg and they got the. I think it's an egg white sandwich. That's the one I had in the Sunrise subway melt with the green peppers and the onions. Head. I had them all actually really good. And I think they're pretty low calorie as well. But they brought over a of lot. Like at least 70 of them. And they were gone, baby. Gone about an hour. About an hour in. All right, David Wilde, what do you got? You want to talk some stories here?
- [108:18]
Bald Brian
Whatever makes you happy.
- [108:20]
Adam Carolla
Axl Rose. Is he nuts? What's up with Axl Rose?
- [108:24]
Bald Brian
I have a long history that I have to say that I still have fond feelings. Although my last encounter with him was as miserable as you could imagine. He wrote me. Sorry. I got an email from his then manager because he goes through them pretty quickly. As I was in hospice with my father literally sitting in Florida by his bedside. The last hours in which I got the note saying, axel wants you to apologize for a 1995 article in Rolling Stone. And even in that sort of desperately sad situation, I did write back. I didn't write that article. And he knows. He just wants you to apologize for it.
- [109:01]
Guest or caller (possibly Stick or Garrett)
He's doing the steps wrong.
- [109:02]
Bald Brian
And I. So I actually wrote and said, please tell Axel I'm sorry. He's fucking bothering me.
- [109:07]
Adam Carolla
Wow.
- [109:08]
Bald Brian
While I'm sitting here, you know.
- [109:10]
Adam Carolla
Did he want you because you're a more recognizable name?
- [109:15]
Bald Brian
I have a pretty good relationship with him. I was the last time he was sort of talking to people. I met him early on when he was the sane one in Guns N Roses because everyone else was so smacked out. And I grew to really like him. I had a good relationship with him for a time.
- [109:29]
Adam Carolla
Could he. And they. I mean, I always want to play this hypothetical game where you think, how much money has been left on the table? Like by. And different bands have different. You know, look, not everyone's gonna be Aerosmith and tour until they're 85 and all that. And even they've left a few bucks on table. But if not for drugs or insanity or ego, go. Let's just say Guns N Roses or the Eagles or whatever. But at least they got back together and they've all made kajillions of dollars and no one feels sorry for them. But how much money has Guns N Roses left on the table? If they just sort of. They don't have to work out every day and drink smoothies, but just. If they kind of kept it to the red wine and the skinny margaritas.
- [110:10]
Bald Brian
Billions. Billions more than any other band. Such a waste. I was with them at their last peak. They played rock and Rio and I traveled with them.
- [110:18]
Ronnie from Corona
Them.
- [110:18]
Bald Brian
But that Was a point where Axl decided they wouldn't talk to the press unless the press signed something saying they'd only say nice things. And you know, journalists can't sign that. And I had a good relationship with him until then, but, you know, he is. The last, like time I spent hours with him was when he was making Chinese Democracy and I got a call. I was actually at the White House working on some Bill Clinton. Was it end of Clinton or was it. It was a TV show. And I got a call saying, axl wants you to come over for Halloween. So we took our little boys who are now like not little boys, and went over to his house and he came out. He was testing me. He checked my.
- [111:00]
Adam Carolla
What does Axel dress like a sane man who knows the value of a dollar?
- [111:04]
Bald Brian
No, he can't pull that off at all.
- [111:06]
Adam Carolla
But just for one day, he came
- [111:07]
Bald Brian
out in a pig suit, hidden so I couldn't see him at all and said three words and scared my kid. And we left. That was pretty much it. Then I got the word come into the studio. Rumbo Studios in the Valley. Deep valley owned by Captain Antonio.
- [111:24]
Adam Carolla
Wow.
- [111:25]
Bald Brian
That's where he recorded most of Chinese democracy. In the Captain Tenille very Badass studio. And I waited. I was told to come there at 1 in the morning. He got there at 4 in the morning.
- [111:36]
Adam Carolla
4 in the morning.
- [111:37]
Bald Brian
And we had a talk in which.
- [111:38]
Adam Carolla
Which.
- [111:39]
Bald Brian
And I like the guy. I think the guy's enormously talented and smart, but crazy.
- [111:44]
Adam Carolla
But crazy in that he's done too many drugs or crazy that he's insulated himself too much. And there's doesn't. I mean, that's why there should always be the old guys from the neighborhood who are telling you what you're doing, who know the real you and know the old you. But does he need medication? I mean. I mean, my Axl Rose take is that he's not. It's not. Well, he's got a big ego. It's more like he's off the reservation. He's that nuts.
- [112:13]
Bald Brian
I think he had the horrible up childhood.
- [112:16]
Adam Carolla
And then this music means we have to wrap up the segment now. Captain Tenille. Go ahead.
- [112:23]
Bald Brian
If Axel had only covered. Do it to me one more time. That might have been.
- [112:26]
Adam Carolla
Are they. Are Captain Tenille. Are they. They were married.
- [112:29]
Bald Brian
Yeah, they are still together.
- [112:30]
Adam Carolla
Really? Oh, yeah. I always had him as more of a rear admiral. You know what I'm saying? Less of a captain.
- [112:36]
Bald Brian
That's why she was saying do it to me at least one time.
- [112:39]
Adam Carolla
How does that work. He comes running into the room and goes, sweetheart, I got. Slow down. It's called Muskrat Love. I'm 41. Hold on. Start writing. You know how everybody. You know America's clamoring of her love song about Muskrat? About Rodentia. Yeah. Okay. All right. Hold on. Mushka.
- [112:59]
Bald Brian
That's just.
- [113:00]
Adam Carolla
I can't write positive.
- [113:01]
Bald Brian
That actual song, it's one of the weirdest things ever. He didn't write it. And it was a hit before him. That song was a hit twice. America had a hit with it. And before America, it was written by some Texas songwriter named Willis Allen Ramsey, a respected cult weirdo.
- [113:17]
Adam Carolla
The horse with no name. America.
- [113:19]
Bald Brian
Yes, exactly.
- [113:20]
Adam Carolla
Had. Did Muskrat love you can.
- [113:23]
Bald Brian
You could play it? I'm sure you could find it in a second.
- [113:25]
Adam Carolla
Did they do a different version?
- [113:26]
Bald Brian
Yeah.
- [113:26]
Adam Carolla
Yes.
- [113:27]
Bald Brian
It was also not good.
- [113:28]
Adam Carolla
Also horrible.
- [113:30]
Bald Brian
I think that's what it said. Horrible version. There it is.
- [113:36]
Adam Carolla
Oh, yeah. It kind of sounds familiar now.
- [113:40]
Bald Brian
Even muskrats don't like this song. It's like you would think the. The.
- [113:44]
Adam Carolla
The breed would enjoy it. No. No band had a greater animal range. You know, talking about horses and muskrats, it took really. One of the biggest animals, one of the small.
- [113:54]
Bald Brian
I love America. I actually grew up. My first concert. My second concert was great harmonies.
- [113:59]
Adam Carolla
Yeah. I didn't know what the. They were talking about, but Great.
- [114:00]
Bald Brian
But they didn't know either.
- [114:02]
Adam Carolla
Some point where they're like, we need to write a song about a medium sized animal now. Maybe a donkey or a Saint Bernard. Something in the alum is about. That's pretty good. It's a little big, but big. Everything's been people. Everything's between a muskrat and a horse. So just wide open. No, bad idea.
- [114:21]
Guest or caller (possibly Stick or Garrett)
A Great Dane.
- [114:23]
Adam Carolla
Yeah, that's good. A little double entendre y. People may think we're talking about a chick we dated named Dane who thought she was great. You know what I mean?
- [114:30]
Sonny Carolla
Right.
- [114:30]
Guest or caller (possibly Stick or Garrett)
We're a single entendre. Large animal, mid size animal, German shepherd. Again, same problem with the Great Dane.
- [114:37]
Adam Carolla
Yeah, actually emu. Emu.
- [114:39]
Guest or caller (possibly Stick or Garrett)
Emu.
- [114:40]
Adam Carolla
Although what rhymes with Jew? No, I don't know what rhymes with emu.
- [114:44]
Bald Brian
There's actually a box set of animal husbandry songs. Buy America. Coming someday I cannot wait I can only pray.
- [114:50]
Adam Carolla
Are they still around?
- [114:51]
Bald Brian
They are. They made a good record a year or so ago. Yeah. Really? They're great.
- [114:56]
Chris
They're still.
- [114:56]
Adam Carolla
They're still good. So, Axl. Insane Axl.
- [114:59]
Bald Brian
I gotta say, I Love, Axl Rose. I think Chinese democracy, people should check it out. It actually was good. He's so difficult that he didn't even make a video. For the record, that took him 14 years to make. He made videos. He paid for him. None came out.
- [115:12]
Adam Carolla
Does he. Is it. Does he have so much Fu money that he just never has to. What I'm saying is, when we all get a parking ticket, we have to pay it because we don't want to pay triple the amount or get arrest warrant. But let's say there was no warrant and you just paid triple the amount and you were super rich. Wouldn't you just crumple them up and throw them over your shoulder? Is he crumple them up and throw it over the shoulder, Rich? I don't have to play by any rules because who cares? I have royal, and they'll never end.
- [115:46]
Bald Brian
Despite being married to an mba, my accounting degree has lapsed. But I will say, I don't think so. I think he did for so many years, but I think he managed to find a way to not have that much Fu money, which is why he's out on the road. You know, he's been on the road recently, by the way. He's still great. Like, he's got tremendous talent. But I think the secret is exactly what you said. I don't think he said anyone around him bringing him back to earth. I. I think he, like. In fact, I found. When I was in the studio with him for a few hours, he would say things and I would contradict him, and it was like a muscle that he hadn't had. Like, he told me, he goes, slash is evil. And I go, you know, I know Slash. I think he must have been a junkie and, you know, a mess. But he's not evil.
- [116:30]
Adam Carolla
I found him to be a very sweet guy.
- [116:33]
Bald Brian
Sweet, Exactly. That's what I said.
- [116:35]
Adam Carolla
Slash sweet.
- [116:36]
Bald Brian
And Axel was sort of tripped out that I was saying that to him.
- [116:40]
Adam Carolla
There is. It happened to me when I almost got a fist fight with my coach from my celebrity baseball game at the Dodger thing, which is guys who. You realize, like most people are used to are most civilians are used to having people go at least twice a week. You're wrong or quiet or you're douchebag or you don't know what you're doing. But then there are guys who get in a position where you realize it's been 100 years since anyone went. You're not wrong. Now sit down and be quiet. And when you say that to those Guys, they have the look on their face of first up first is confusion and then rage. But it's usually like, I can't believe my baseball coach was a douche. He wasn't. I thought he was just the coach from the mud hands. Like, I thought he was a coach from. From a Triple A team. Turned out he ran ICM or whatever, some big agency. And I just said, hey, man, you're douchebag. What are you? Fucking douchebag? And he was like. Just looked like he was just like. What? He just couldn't process it?
- [117:48]
Bald Brian
No, that's exactly the look he gave me. And I will say, I gotta say, I really like this guy. And like, when he was at his peak, and I don't want to say he's not at his peak now, but when he was the biggest star in the world, he was so good to me. Like, in a certain. I remember. I don't know what year that would have been, but when Appetite was at its peak, Rolling Stone had some ad party. And he literally, the biggest star on earth, walked into. He saw like a sign saying Rolling Stone Party. And he just walked in and announced, to a party full of all our advertisers. Is David Wilde here? I like that guy. And I wasn't there. It was advertising party. But, like, he had this sweet, sweet side of him. He's incredibly bright. But I think it's exact. I don't think you can. Some people shouldn't have friends who are only on the payroll. I think that's why I'm here. I'm not getting paid a cent. And I'm here as an intervention to
- [118:37]
Adam Carolla
say, well, unless you count your chef salad that you ripped off from me earlier today. Yes. Right.
- [118:42]
Chris
Any chance. Any. What are the chances of Slash and Ashley getting back together?
- [118:47]
Bald Brian
I think the financial thing might play into that because the amount of money, as Adam said, they've left on the table and. And still. They could still do it. I mean, and it would really. I think really, it's the two of them, It's Mick and Keith, they need to patch that up. I think. Call me sentimental, but I think it will happen and I think it should happen.
- [119:08]
Adam Carolla
It's got to be the most frustrating thing on the planet for everybody associated, because I've interviewed everyone in the band and they're just waiting for that phone call that doesn't seem to ever come. America, not the band, they're pissed about it, but America, the individuals, the concert goers, they want this to happen. Everybody wants it to happen. And I Don't know what could have gone on between Axl and Duff and any of the other guys that could have been so bad. Everyone in the band seems like they're the friendliest guys on the planet and at least now they seem sober as well.
- [119:42]
Bald Brian
Yeah, no. Unless there was some sodomy that wasn't requested. And I don't think there was. Right. I mean, I think. I think it's just this idea that there's evil. I mean, he actually thinks it's him against the world. And like, I don't think he gets it.
- [119:56]
Adam Carolla
We love him, but I mean, does he really. Like, if somebody started medicating him, like, do you really think he probably needs a little anti psychotic medication? Like he probably needs some pharmaceuticals in here. I don't think he's a drug addict. Or is he on drug addict?
- [120:11]
Bald Brian
No, I think he's the opposite. I think he was the least drug addicty of all.
- [120:15]
Adam Carolla
But does he. Does he have a chemical imbalance?
- [120:18]
Bald Brian
I think he. I think he must. I gotta say, I've never had anything but pleasant one on one conversations with him. I like the guy, but. Yeah, I think he probably could use something to even him out a tad.
- [120:30]
Adam Carolla
Somebody, by the way, is online calling about an old band that I have a connection to. Stu.
- [120:36]
Ronnie from Corona
Yes. Adam.
- [120:37]
Adam Carolla
Yes. Yes. Thank Christ. Exactly. Right.
- [120:42]
Ronnie from Corona
Our age group.
- [120:43]
Adam Carolla
Gotta love John Hyatt. Love John Hyatt. Go ahead. So I know you're tight with the Ringwalds. Sure. So what about.
- [120:50]
Ronnie from Corona
What about the Ray Buffs? I never heard you talk of them.
- [120:52]
Adam Carolla
They were one of the great 80s bands, I thought. Well, I don't know about one of the great 80s bands, but yeah, my Beth Ringwald, who is Molly Ringwald's sister, married Jimmer, the lead singer from the Rave Ups, which was a band that was. Was pretty popular, had had a couple of hits and was featured in Pretty in Pink. And I think it was even on the. Oh, 90210. Here we are. Oh, nine zero. They were on 90210 too.
- [121:20]
Ronnie from Corona
Yes, they were, unfortunately. Yes.
- [121:23]
Adam Carolla
Wow. Yeah, I don't. I wouldn't call one of the great
- [121:27]
Bald Brian
80s bands, they're no in excess.
- [121:33]
Adam Carolla
I got what you need. I got what it is. Insufferable crap. Oh, God. And I like the NXS guys. I. Yeah, yeah, this is Jimmer and In Excess.
- [121:47]
Guest or caller (possibly Stick or Garrett)
Yeah, I owned the Pretty in Pink soundtrack on cassette.
- [121:50]
Adam Carolla
Did you?
- [121:50]
Guest or caller (possibly Stick or Garrett)
I played it so many times.
- [121:52]
Bald Brian
Yeah, it really holds up. On cassette.
- [121:54]
Adam Carolla
Yeah. Yeah, true.
- [121:55]
Bald Brian
On eight track. If you can find it on a track, it'd be even better.
- [121:58]
Adam Carolla
Thanks, Stick. Yeah, it's one of those cautionary tales of why you shouldn't marry a guy in a rock band. They're kind of into them. That's usually how it works out.
- [122:10]
Guest or caller (possibly Stick or Garrett)
Jimmer was all about Jimmer.
- [122:12]
Adam Carolla
Jimmer was about Jimmer, evidently. But they had a kid and then they got divorced.
- [122:16]
Chris
I love everything about bands that have left the most and the least on the table. Never thought about that. The Beatles would have to be up there. Left a lot of the table because they didn't have any of their merchants stuff in, like, the early 60s. But how about Kiss for getting the most out of, like, getting the least on the table?
- [122:30]
Bald Brian
Put a Jew in a band. Not much left on the table if it was Axl Rosenberg.
- [122:35]
Adam Carolla
Yes.
- [122:37]
Chris
Dolls.
- [122:37]
Adam Carolla
Yes. It is interesting, because there. There are those, and they're those in the. In. In all forms of entertainment that have managed to make a lot. And those have managed to make. Make on their talent. I mean, there's comics that are. There's all the guys from the Blue Collar Comedy tour that have made kajillions of dollars and aren't funny guys. And I'm not saying that because, oh, I'm some hipster comic, and I don't get that. And it's me and Jeanine Garofalo, and we're going down to Largo. I'm not about that. I just mean if you slice them open, how much funny would come out of them? I know guys that are exceedingly funny, not really made much money at all. And then there's guys that aren't that funny. And it goes to show, it's part of. It's a business.
- [123:22]
Bald Brian
You mentioned the Eagles. Like, they're an example. These guys did hate each other. There was such bad. You know, Hell Freezes over sort of was the name of the comeback. But they're smart and they've kept it going. And by the way, Joe Walsh was one of the guys who I've been doing something with lately who said he'd love to come in here if you like.
- [123:38]
Adam Carolla
That guy, I think.
- [123:39]
Bald Brian
And he's got the best album of his career, really. He's just made. And so if you'd like. I think we should get Joe.
- [123:45]
Adam Carolla
Let me hear some. Walk away from the James Gang.
- [123:48]
Bald Brian
Oh, and he's reuniting with them this year, too.
- [123:51]
Adam Carolla
My. You know, my. My Eagles theory with Joe Walsh is they heard the guy playing good songs and kicked him out of the band. Like, listen, dude, we're doing witchy Woman not walk away. You understand?
- [124:02]
Guest or caller (possibly Stick or Garrett)
Like Jason Bateman being kicked off of Silver Spoons.
- [124:05]
Bald Brian
Exactly.
- [124:06]
Adam Carolla
That's what I heard Don Henley used. I know. Yes. Let's listen. They're like. They're like. This doesn't sound like somebody whining about a witch. Oh, love that.
- [124:21]
Bald Brian
Can I tell you something interesting that Joe told me just the other day that he played at the Grammys. I don't know if you remember. He sat in with McCartney at the end, he was with, you know, Dave Grohl. And he said. Grohl said that when they were in Seattle, Nirvana, that they were actually trying to be James Gang, that kind of trio thing. Very. That's what we were going for. For.
- [124:43]
Adam Carolla
This is very early Nirvana because it's. It's a little raw. You can hear the guitar. I didn't even know the James Gang was a trio. That's it.
- [124:54]
Freddie Dreier
Yeah.
- [124:54]
Bald Brian
It. Early on, there were more guys. It came down to the trio.
- [124:58]
Adam Carolla
Well, a couple of them got arrested, strung up by local townspeople. Posse caught up to him.
- [125:03]
Bald Brian
But I'm not joking.
- [125:03]
Guest or caller (possibly Stick or Garrett)
Joe distilled themselves.
- [125:05]
Bald Brian
Joe married a friend of mine and cleaned up his act years ago. But he. He's written the best album he's ever done.
- [125:10]
Adam Carolla
Get him in here.
- [125:11]
Bald Brian
Yeah.
- [125:12]
Adam Carolla
Just love this riff. It's kind of like zz top if zz top was a little better.
- [125:26]
Guest or caller (possibly Stick or Garrett)
ZZ Tops, I go back and forth on them. There's some ZZ Top songs I can't.
- [125:31]
Adam Carolla
I got a couple. Couple good songs, but you. None of the ones they play, but. Yeah, The Eagles and their solo stuff. Oh, God.
- [125:40]
Bald Brian
I see. I disagree. I know. I've heard you say this. I. I think you. You went after Sunset Grill the other day. I gotta say, I'm a. I'm a very sensitive man. And I still love my end of the Innocence. I still.
- [125:51]
Adam Carolla
That just. I like End of the Innocence. I like that song, but I don't.
- [125:55]
Guest or caller (possibly Stick or Garrett)
He doesn't like you anymore.
- [125:56]
Bald Brian
And Henry, I know you hate Henley. You're not a Henley fan.
- [126:00]
Adam Carolla
I just. I. Well, first off, the. I like End of the Innocence. I like that particular song, but I don't like the Sunset Grail and Dirty Laundry. I'll fucking throw myself off this bill. And if I hear Henley's also.
- [126:11]
Bald Brian
You wouldn't. One of the funniest guys in rock. No one knows it. Really smart.
- [126:15]
Adam Carolla
Put some of that into his lyrics.
- [126:17]
Bald Brian
You know what? We'll get Joe Walsh in here. Joe, you'll enjoy.
- [126:21]
Adam Carolla
Who's worse, Rod Stewart.
- [126:22]
Bald Brian
Who's the worst lyricist Oh, I think Jon Bon Jovi.
- [126:27]
Adam Carolla
Oh, yeah. You know, I would argue. I would argue. Well, he's, he's, you know, he's traded in his six gun for six string and all that fucking bullshit. That's stupid. He's a cowboy. Oh, boy. Hold on. This has never been done before in the annals of song history. That of course, cop out and derivative and bullshit, but quietly the shittiest lyrical band on the planet. It. The Cars. Their fucking songs don't even make sense. And they just rhyme shit with the shoes and the blues. And they're horrible lyrically. And they get away with it. They get away with it because people think they're cool, but they're not. Their lyrics, Paulina didn't invent them, are shitty. Yeah, let's listen to the lyrics. David, please try to defend.
- [127:17]
Bald Brian
I love the Car.
- [127:19]
Adam Carolla
And I think because they write good hooks, but their lyrics are horrible.
- [127:23]
Bald Brian
Well, this is not exactly their, their grand statement. Shake it up.
- [127:26]
Adam Carolla
Oh, the best they can do is who's gonna take you home tonight? Or whatever. They're. They're weak lyrically. They're not funny, they're not interesting. They make up words to rhyme with. And I think people read stuff into it. Like they go, oh, I think I get it. But they don't.
- [127:40]
Guest or caller (possibly Stick or Garrett)
But do you think lyrics are 50% of the music?
- [127:43]
Adam Carolla
No, no, no, no.
- [127:45]
Bald Brian
But, but Bob Dylan would say no. No.
- [127:49]
Adam Carolla
When you hear, when you hear a good line like, I've been living this life through this cracked rear view, I just love. I love something smart. I, I love. You know, I, I, I, I. It depends what the song is. If it's a fast song, if it's, you know, just a, just a power rock song. Who gives lang Ch. Yeah, like some, something that. Not quite that powerful, but, but pretty close. No, but when it's. When it's the who singing about the 5:15 or whatever their train they're missing or something, it doesn't matter. That's such a great song.
- [128:21]
Bald Brian
The music's good enough. You won't even notice. And, and the guys, the guys who are great at it, like Randy Newman, who I don't know if you dislike I love Randy.
- [128:29]
Adam Carolla
Every song sounds the same, but other than that. But, but the one song is pretty good.
- [128:34]
Bald Brian
He's.
- [128:34]
Adam Carolla
He's. He's sort of the white Chuck Berry where the first two licks, it's like. This is Maybelline. No, this is the Johnny B. Goode. No, this is a. Back in school days. No, this is. It says songs the Songs are all exactly the same. If you like that song, you're in great shape because they all sound exactly the same.
- [128:51]
Bald Brian
Chuck Berry was, I think, the first great rock lyricist. If you actually go back and listen to the lyrics, he was super clever. Those car songs and all that were commentaries. I think he's the only of the early rock guys that was actually saying
- [129:04]
Adam Carolla
anything, but they all sounded the same.
- [129:05]
Bald Brian
Oh, yeah.
- [129:06]
Adam Carolla
Music. Yeah. Randy Newman. Newman's the first three notes. Yeah. I never know what's what. Randy Newman. But he's clever. He's. He's funny.
- [129:14]
Bald Brian
I love him. I love him. I think he's one of the greatest writers of all time.
- [129:18]
Adam Carolla
What about the Jayhawks? There's a band I rarely mention on this show.
- [129:23]
Bald Brian
I like the Jayhawks a whole lot, and I did one little project with them. I think they're great. They've got that. They're back together, you know?
- [129:31]
Adam Carolla
Yeah, I'd love to go see them live.
- [129:33]
Bald Brian
Great harmonies.
- [129:33]
Adam Carolla
Kind of like. Yes. I want to hear some Jayhawks. Find me some Jayhawks. Yeah, they have some good lyrics, too. All right. Someone wants to know about classical music. I'm not really into classical music, but I recognize it as a great art form, and it's great to listen to when you're trying to get something done. You're trying to write. David, you probably know this. It's hard to listen to lyrics when somebody's singing. You know, the next thing you know, you said you're. You're. You're writing a column or you're writing jokes for the Oscars. You're doing whatever. Oh, did you write jokes for the Oscars?
- [130:10]
Freddie Dreier
I.
- [130:10]
Bald Brian
This year I worked on the Oscars. Last year I worked on the pre show. This year for abc, I did the red carpet show.
- [130:15]
Adam Carolla
You're writing jokes and you're hearing lyrics, and it's. They're competing in your head.
- [130:20]
Bald Brian
Yeah. I actually listened to this podcast while I write, but I end up having to go back. Back constantly to not miss anything.
- [130:29]
Ronnie from Corona
Definitely not funny.
- [130:31]
Adam Carolla
Thank you. Love that about you. All right, let's hear a story about. Let's see. I want to hear something from tomorrow. The Green Grass. Is that the name of that record? Yeah, it's my favorite. Jayhawk Records. Elvis Costello.
- [130:52]
Bald Brian
Elvis was my childhood hero. It was Elvis, Graham Parker, Joe. Joe Jackson. Those were my guys.
- [130:57]
Adam Carolla
Now you're scoring.
- [130:58]
Bald Brian
And then my first interview, like, big interview for Rolling Stone. I went to interview my hero and got into a total argument with him because he only wanted to talk about his new record. And I was there to do the Rolling Stone interview, which is the career retrospective. And he. There's all this shit he did not want to go over again. And I literally just got into like a little argument with my hero, which was very uncomfortable. What year was this was Spike when he had Veronica and I was pretty new to Rolling Stone. And the next day I had broken his spirit and he gave me the interview I wanted. And it was amazing. I weirdly feel I just wrote the thing with him for the McCartney tribute where we did like a little tribute to Paul. But my real. And let's put it out there in the ether. I'm pretty sure I introduced him to his wife Diana Krall.
- [131:44]
Adam Carolla
Oh, really?
- [131:45]
Bald Brian
I believe they met at the Grammys when they presented together. And it was literally, I remember going, elvis, do you know Diana? And I think that's when they met. It would be a more charming story if he wasn't already with someone at the time. But it's still charming.
- [131:57]
Adam Carolla
I have this. I judge people by how I think they would judge me. And I think Elvis Costell would think I was a buffoon. And I also think like Michael Stipe would think I was an asshole. So I don't like them automatically based
- [132:10]
Bald Brian
on my knowledge of those two. You're only half right. I believe Elvis would love you.
- [132:13]
Adam Carolla
Oh really?
- [132:14]
Bald Brian
He loves the quick witted. And no one is quick witted hooker in the wit.
- [132:17]
Adam Carolla
But then he would never. We'd never get. We'd never get to my noogity center through my thick candy shell.
- [132:22]
Bald Brian
I will get Elvis in here. I know.
- [132:24]
Adam Carolla
Okay, Michael Stipe. I'm sure he will hate me. He hates me.
- [132:28]
Bald Brian
I. I'm a big REM fan. When the minute I met him I couldn't. He was.
- [132:32]
Adam Carolla
So why do I hate. I hate him from a thousand miles away. Like when I fly over Georgia, I'm like, oh God, I hate my. And I like the band and I've never spoke to the man. And I know I hate.
- [132:45]
Guest or caller (possibly Stick or Garrett)
Is it the scarf?
- [132:46]
Adam Carolla
Yes, that's part of it. Why do I hate him?
- [132:50]
Bald Brian
All I know is I only met him, really spoke to him once. And it was him and Tori Amos and me in a room and it was way too feet and artsy and uncomfortable for me. You know, I.
- [133:01]
Adam Carolla
Now the thing about.
- [133:02]
Bald Brian
I said, michael, let's go get a deli at Arts Deli. And he said, no.
- [133:05]
Adam Carolla
Oh no.
- [133:05]
Bald Brian
That's the measure. The measure of the man.
- [133:07]
Adam Carolla
No, he doesn't eat animal hostility, man. No way, man. He's so much better than all of us. My thing with, like, now Tori Amos is someone. I thought, oh, I'm never gonna get along with Tori Amos. I got along with her swimming.
- [133:20]
Bald Brian
Oh, no, she's badass and fun.
- [133:21]
Adam Carolla
Yeah, she's fun.
- [133:22]
Bald Brian
Yes.
- [133:23]
Adam Carolla
Yeah.
- [133:23]
Bald Brian
Yes. But although with Michael Stipe, it was a little arty in the room, but she's great. No, she.
- [133:29]
Chris
She was.
- [133:29]
Bald Brian
And she's kind of sexy and fun and playful.
- [133:31]
Adam Carolla
Yeah. And a little bit nutty. Yeah, yeah, she's cool. Yeah. But, Michael. All right, all right. Where the hell are we? I want to hear some Jayhawks. I'm jonesing for Jayhawks. I love this song. Sounds like a different version.
- [133:49]
Chris
It's the acoustic version of Blue. You want to hear this?
- [133:52]
Adam Carolla
Sure. There's a great line in the song. I don't know why I like it so much.
- [134:07]
Bald Brian
I have a one weird Elvis story with Randy Newman and Elvis. I did this TV show on Bravo called Musicians, where I hosted and interviewed an artist for an hour. And they played a lot. And we would. To save money because it was super expensive to shoot those kind of shows.
- [134:23]
Adam Carolla
Sure.
- [134:23]
Bald Brian
We would do two in a day. And we did Randy Newman and Elvis, like, two of my favorites in one day. And Elvis made the huge mistake of going after Randy, who is. I. I don't know if you believe it or not. One of the funniest men on earth. He's incredibly witty.
- [134:38]
Adam Carolla
Yes. He seems. His lyrics are great.
- [134:40]
Bald Brian
And Elvis literally was, like, shaking beforehand, going, how do I follow this guy? I can't follow this guy.
- [134:45]
Adam Carolla
And he was.
- [134:45]
Bald Brian
Of course, he was great because he's. He's really smart as well. Really funny.
- [134:49]
Adam Carolla
Yeah. I. I'd be the Randy Newman seemed menchie.
- [134:54]
Bald Brian
Menchie. Dark, sardonic, funny.
- [134:56]
Chris
You.
- [134:56]
Bald Brian
You would love.
- [134:56]
Adam Carolla
They wrote short people at a hit with short.
- [134:59]
Bald Brian
It was about me.
- [135:00]
Adam Carolla
Was it about you? Everyone on the plane.
- [135:03]
Bald Brian
I did formally forgive him for the song.
- [135:07]
Adam Carolla
Ah, boy, did David ever write reviews.
- [135:11]
Chris
Rolling Stone.
- [135:11]
Bald Brian
Yeah.
- [135:12]
Chris
Do you ever get any, like, blowback from the artist? It must have been tough.
- [135:15]
Bald Brian
I almost heard the only, like, my first review or second review was a vicious review of Don Johnson's album right out of college.
- [135:26]
Adam Carolla
Heartbeat, Heartbeat, I'm looking for a heartbeat.
- [135:30]
Bald Brian
And I said something like, this man, if he works hard, could be the Bobby Goldsboro of the 80s. Which I meant as a compliment. I thought, relatively speaking. And I heard. I got this message, Don Johnson is gonna kick your ass if you ever meet him.
- [135:43]
Adam Carolla
Him. Bobby Goldsboro had a song about a dog or a horse.
- [135:47]
Bald Brian
Or Honey the first time.
- [135:48]
Adam Carolla
Honey.
- [135:48]
Bald Brian
Some.
- [135:49]
Adam Carolla
Yeah, he had honey.
- [135:50]
Guest or caller (possibly Stick or Garrett)
Summer.
- [135:50]
Bald Brian
The first time. Honey was a different song.
- [135:52]
Adam Carolla
Was. What was honey? Bobby Goldsboro. Was that about a dog or about a donkey or an ostrich? What are we.
- [135:57]
Guest or caller (possibly Stick or Garrett)
No, emu.
- [135:58]
Bald Brian
It was about a muskrat.
- [135:59]
Adam Carolla
I believe that was a dog. That song about a horse or about a dog or something. I don't.
- [136:05]
Bald Brian
I don't think I ever brought any.
- [136:07]
Adam Carolla
Well, they also did that stuff where he talked intimate.
- [136:11]
Bald Brian
Honey, I miss you. Honey, I miss you.
- [136:12]
Adam Carolla
Yeah, yeah. It's back when white guys used to talk in songs.
- [136:16]
Bald Brian
Now he had a variety show. And that's my biggest regret, is that I wasn't born a little earlier. I could have written every bad variety show. Like I. Oh, I got there a little bit.
- [136:24]
Adam Carolla
Lady and Jeff, you would have been all over that. Shields and Yarnell, Captain and Tenille, the Hudson brothers, everyone. You could have. You are just hack neat enough to fit in perfectly to all. I would have great.
- [136:40]
Ronnie from Corona
You.
- [136:41]
Adam Carolla
Oh, you and Jeff Ross could have been born just a few years earlier. You would have been right in the writer's room.
- [136:45]
Bald Brian
That's exact. Jeff.
- [136:47]
Adam Carolla
We've talked about Pink lady and Jeff lasted like five episodes. What was Honey about? I want to try to figure it out. Pink. Pink Lady. They had to know. This show was Jeff Altman at the time was probably 2022. Pink lady was a sensation from Japan. Japan. But they couldn't speak English, right. So it was during a time when they just go, look, we need another variety show. Hey, what's your name? Steve. All right, we're gonna hook you up that vending machine. Now get out there. And people just. The Hudson brothers, Shields and Yarnell. Shields and Yarnell were mimes. And they had a variety show. There were mimes.
- [137:30]
Bald Brian
I saw John Mayer's name up on the board a little while ago. John Mayer.
- [137:35]
Adam Carolla
I've always said when I get, you know, God willing, make it through those pearly gates one day. First question. When I talk to the Lord John Mayer, douchebag or not, I gotta know. I gotta know because just when I think he's a colossal douchebag, he does something that's sort of funny and self deprecating and then he acts like a douche again. And then he has something.
- [137:52]
Chris
Follow up question. Why do I have Michael Stape?
- [137:54]
Adam Carolla
Yeah, tell me. By the way, don't worry about him. He's roasting in hell with his gay buddies.
- [137:59]
Bald Brian
John Mayer, in my opinion and I unpopular view, not a douchebag.
- [138:04]
Adam Carolla
I'm starting to think Maybe not a douchebag.
- [138:06]
Bald Brian
Funny, funny.
- [138:07]
Adam Carolla
Definitely got a sense of humor.
- [138:08]
Bald Brian
Yeah. Got himself in trouble. He's not, you know, he made it. He made a mistake, stepped in. It has a new song about it. But in per one on one, not a douchebag. It's just a little cocky, but sort of justifiably so.
- [138:21]
Adam Carolla
Backs it up.
- [138:22]
Bald Brian
Backs it up with talent.
- [138:23]
Guest or caller (possibly Stick or Garrett)
I interviewed him and for a good, I don't know, month or two after that experience, definitely felt that he wasn't a douchebag. But then the douchebag attrition happened and now I'm back in the other camps.
- [138:34]
Bald Brian
I really like him.
- [138:34]
Adam Carolla
Speaking about, speaking of non douchebags. Freddy Dreyer, Los Angeles. All prone, of course. You know, Miss Hunter. Wish I could have written on that, did that show Variety written on that show as well. Well, I'm just saying, Hunter, go get the bad guy and pull an E brake at the end of the street. Yeah. Love me some Freddie Dreyer. He's going to come in here in just one second. David Wilde, Diary of a Player. By the way, a memoir. It is for country musician Brad Paisley, who David says he's gonna get on the show. So we got Brad Paisley, we got Elvis Costello.
- [139:08]
Bald Brian
Chris Isaac.
- [139:09]
Adam Carolla
Chris Isaac.
- [139:09]
Bald Brian
He wants to come.
- [139:10]
Adam Carolla
Oh, love Chris Isaac.
- [139:11]
Bald Brian
You want Jacob Dylan.
- [139:12]
Adam Carolla
I think you Jacob Dylan. We, yeah.
- [139:14]
Bald Brian
Sebastian Bach wants to come in.
- [139:16]
Adam Carolla
Love to bring him in too.
- [139:18]
Bald Brian
So that's some of the excitement coming.
- [139:20]
Adam Carolla
Please, please. And I mean, if you're with them, fine, but if not, you know, if they just come in, that's cool too.
- [139:26]
Bald Brian
I understand.
- [139:26]
Adam Carolla
I mean, it'll be void.
- [139:28]
Bald Brian
Exactly. No, you can't get Sebastian without me. We're sort of Mutt and Jeff of heavy metal.
- [139:33]
Adam Carolla
It's been said many times. Legal zoom. National start your business month has now been extended throughout the year. I don't know.
- [139:40]
Guest or caller (possibly Stick or Garrett)
Oh, good. I felt like I missed last one.

Adam Carolla
It's national start your business decade. I don't know if you guys know that LegalZoom has decreed it and you're gonna argue with them.
- [139:49]
Guest or caller (possibly Stick or Garrett)
No.

- [140:53]
Ronnie from Corona
Later, Hosen.
- [140:56]
Adam Carolla
A couple things. I'm gonna be in character Kansas City at the Uptown Theater that is coming up next Friday, March 30th. And my buddy, who Philip the juggler, who I spoke about, who's severely impaired, is going to come out to the show. So please come out and maybe I'll bring Philip up on stage. It's sad when you're talking about one of your buddies who's a juggler and so vibrant, good looking and young and everything. And then you're talking, he's getting emails from his wife saying, well, his hospice caregiver thinks it'd be okay if he went, but he's not really going to be able to sit in the audience too long. But maybe if he was able to walk around backstage like it's a buddy of mine who juggles machetes on a unicycle and it's like his hospice care boy, baby. Everyone worries about the body, you know, like, oh, that guy lost the leg in Iraq, baby. The brain. Wow, that's something we all need to kiss. Kiss your brain, Brian. Kiss it.
- [141:50]
Chris
Kiss it.
- [141:51]
Adam Carolla
Kiss it.
- [141:52]
Bald Brian
Please excuse me while I kiss my brain.
- [141:53]
Adam Carolla
That's right. All right. And can I say about your live
- [141:58]
Bald Brian
show, if you have never seen Adam, if you just listen to the podcast, you gotta. I paid my wife and I paid to see a show at the. Was it the improv on sound that Mount Melrose? What is that? Yes, and it's a great. It's. It's different than the podcast. You got to experience it live. It's like he radiates raw animal sexuality live.
- [142:15]
Adam Carolla
Much like G. Michael in his prime or Michael Stuipe. I would just like to see some guy just punch him. That's all. Just, that's all I want. Just choke him out. Like, here's the whole thing. Here's my new policy. If you're wearing a scarf in non scarf weather, guys should be able to choke you out with the scarf. You know, if it's 71 degrees and you're walking around, if you're wearing the soup. You know what I hate A. Okay, here's the look I hate. Super wavy, wispy guy with the super tight T shirt. Although there's no guns to show off. It's sort of like a chick T shirt. You know how chicks are good looking by virtue of just being skinny? Like, you don't have to go, well, she's good looking, but there's no vein in her arm. It's like, okay, just skinny chick, just tight, super tight shirt on, dude with no build, and then scarf. I don't know why that look drives me insane, but if it's because it
- [143:13]
Guest or caller (possibly Stick or Garrett)
couldn't be more affected.
- [143:14]
Adam Carolla
Yes, it couldn't be more effective. So if it's 76 degrees outside and you're wearing a scarf and you don't work in the meatpacking industry, like if you just stepped out of a walk in freezer or something, which Michael does not, I believe. Does not. Well, maybe some meat packing. There may be some in his future. You get choked out with your scarf. That's my new policy, you know. Does it Freddie Dreier.
- [143:36]
Guest or caller (possibly Stick or Garrett)
Yes.
- [143:36]
Adam Carolla
All pro.
- [143:37]
Guest or caller (possibly Stick or Garrett)
Do you think he's Hunter?
- [143:38]
Bald Brian
That's a real man.
- [143:39]
Adam Carolla
Yeah. Oh, Fred's down with that for sure. Also, Irvine Improv this Thursday. Dana Gould on stage. He's great. You can't go wrong with that. All right, David Wilde, everyone.
- [143:50]
Bald Brian
Can I get one more plug?
- [143:51]
Adam Carolla
I'm gonna give you a. I'm gonna give you a bunch of them.
- [143:53]
Bald Brian
The Twitter.
- [143:54]
Adam Carolla
Yes. All right, then I'll show you Wilde about music. Wild. That's his last name. About music. And also huffingtonpost.com DavidWilde Anything else, David?
- [144:05]
Bald Brian
Just no Twitter. I need 73 to get to 10,000 and frankly, frankly, I need it soon.
- [144:09]
Adam Carolla
Let's go. Everybody wild about music. That's his Twitter handle. All right, David. Always a slice of heaven. We'll take a quick break. Back with Freddie Dreier next. It's time to check Adam's voicemail.
- [144:27]
Ronnie from Corona
Yeah, it's Chris.
- [144:29]
Adam Carolla
I'm really drunk. I'm in Florida.
- [144:31]
Ronnie from Corona
Anyway, I'm trying to fucking read you.
- [144:34]
Adam Carolla
It's.
- [144:34]
Ronnie from Corona
It's really difficult. You put up these barbed wire fences that are just impossible to get through unless you're gonna do some Twitter. I just, I. I can't reach you. I can't get through to you. I'm trying to reach you. Please, please step it down a notch
- [144:51]
Adam Carolla
and go to the.
- [144:52]
Ronnie from Corona
The lowest common denominator and reach the
- [144:54]
Adam Carolla
people that are like the most humblest,
- [144:57]
Ronnie from Corona
but yet I'm just Trying to. Thanks.
- [145:03]
Adam Carolla
You can leave us a message at 888-634-1744. Definitely not a Jew. Potent combination of drunk and in Florida, which I feel like mixing Xanax with booze, like just being in the state of Florida and being drunk is gonna pun.
- [145:18]
Guest or caller (possibly Stick or Garrett)
He's gonna fall asleep in a bathtub
- [145:20]
Adam Carolla
if he doesn't watch out. Ivy League graduate the great Freddie Dreyer. All Pro Freddie Dryer watched growing, growing up as a huge Rams fan.
- [145:28]
Freddie Dreier
Thank you.
- [145:30]
Adam Carolla
Loved. Watch me some Hunter and some of course him and Jack Youngblood coming around the outside. Fred was. I heard some, I heard you weighing in on this whole bounty thing a couple weeks ago on the whole Saints bounty thing. What was your take on that?
- [145:47]
Freddie Dreier
Well, apparently things have escalated nicely for the National Football League. You know this coach Greg Williams was a defensive coordinator with the Saints and for several years he conducted and allowed players to weigh in on putting up money to knock players out of upcoming games.
- [146:09]
Adam Carolla
Right.
- [146:10]
Freddie Dreier
And I thought, and that's why I did the Fran Tarkington show. He actually texted me about it. He was really pissed off.
- [146:18]
Adam Carolla
So
- [146:20]
Freddie Dreier
we did the show, we talked about it and apparently it's true. It has been going on and my take is it's just gone along with the decaying, eroding skill, fundamental and technique structure that's in the league today. If you don't know how to fucking tackle, tackle, go, baby. You're going to make a lot of mistakes. What's left, you know, when you play that game, it's defined very clearly what the rules are. And if you don't know how to tackle, which they don't anymore, it's a terribly tackling league. If you don't know how to tackle, you don't know how to lay any type of skill over the grid of controlling yourself and therefore delivering. Correct.
- [147:12]
Adam Carolla
But can I, can I jump in for a second? Ask. I've noticed watching the non tackling that's going on in the NFL because I played at a much lower level than you, but they always talked about tackling and wrapping up and putting your, you know, and all that kind of. So get your head on the right side of the guy. If he's sweeping around the right, you get your head on that side of him, not the backside of him and all that sort of technique and breaking down and all that. But now it's all about stripping the ball. Like one guy holds the guy up and the other guy stripped the ball. They do it very well and they do it very well. But the technique has gone out the window. When you're trying to strip the ball, you're not tackling. Tackling is about wrapping up and putting your helmet on.
- [147:54]
Freddie Dreier
It's an alley gang rape, you know.
- [147:55]
Adam Carolla
Yes, that's what it is.
- [147:57]
Freddie Dreier
And you've got all these very large, very athletic people going after the ball. The first people that get there hold him up. The second guy strips it and then what's left of the carcass, you kick it off to the side of the road.
- [148:11]
Adam Carolla
I'm wondering if they should change the statistics because it's unfair to say, well, Gail sayers only fumbled 12 times in his eight year career versus whoever's playing today. Because these guys are getting the ball punched out. And there's two techniques. There's rip your arm off technique, there's run up behind you and punch the ball out technique. And then there's Ray Lewis holds you up while his buddies rip your arms off and take the ball away. And half the fumbles I see in the NFL now, and the announcers is like, oh, you can't put the rock on the ground. How can you avoid putting the rock on the ground?
- [148:44]
Guest or caller (possibly Stick or Garrett)
Is it more efficient than tackling? I mean, is that why everyone
- [148:49]
Adam Carolla
for
- [148:49]
Freddie Dreier
the home run, it's the priority of getting and taking the ball away. The whole thing is about, look, it's, it's a. As you, you guys know this. It's, it's a, it's a language grab. You know, you got 120 yards, 100 yards to work in. You're 50 yards wide. You got 22 people on the field. Half of them want to kill the other half. And, and it's a free for all when the, when the whistle goes up.
- [149:10]
Adam Carolla
Parole, a family reunion.
- [149:12]
Freddie Dreier
That's a hell of a, it's a hell of a get together every week,
- [149:15]
Adam Carolla
you know, but so what would you say? Like, so you see all these guys stripping the ball and you think to yourself, jesus, why weren't we doing this back in the day? But then you realize we're watching it right now. Just hold the guy up and then everyone pulls the ball out of his head.
- [149:32]
Freddie Dreier
It really does look like a pack of lions bringing down a gazelle, you know?
- [149:37]
Adam Carolla
Yeah, gazelle. That makes $4.7 million a year and it's screwing a lot of other gazelles out of wetland. But let me. But, so I think once your momentum is stopped, they ought to just blow.
- [149:52]
Freddie Dreier
Well, that's what they try to do, you know, the officiating, the frenzy of playing defense today is way ahead of the ability to control the play, of trying to get people to play within the so called rules. See, the rules now on defense. Defense have been. Have been cut way back, you know, and what it does is it causes an awful lot of frustration on the field. You can't cover people like you covered them when we played.
- [150:28]
Adam Carolla
Yeah.
- [150:29]
Freddie Dreier
Like, you just can't, because they've engineered the sport to have it 50 to 49. That's what they want.
- [150:35]
Adam Carolla
Right, right. They want to. They want to ring it up like a pinball machine.
- [150:40]
Freddie Dreier
And it's not a. It's not a. You know, it's not a coincidence to think that the sport kind of. I was talking to Tarkington about this, you know, off the air, that when
- [150:49]
Adam Carolla
you say Tarrington, you mean Sir Francis of Tarkington.
- [150:52]
Freddie Dreier
Yeah. Of the Tarkington clan. You know, they do a very good job, you know, of presenting this terrific sport, and they've just completely, like the fucking government engineered all the rules and regulations that help and control the players. You can't put a bunch of kids together and just say, okay, you guys can do whatever you want. There's no rules.
- [151:18]
Adam Carolla
Right.
- [151:19]
Freddie Dreier
You've got to give them a structure. And so what you have now is you have people flying around like torpedoes. You got guys 6, 8, 300 pounds running 100 yards, and they're not going to pull up. They're on the pile.
- [151:32]
Adam Carolla
Well, when you played, like back when my beloved Rams lost to the Steelers. Oh, God, yeah, you'd have.
- [151:41]
Freddie Dreier
Still painful, isn't it?
- [151:42]
Adam Carolla
Donnie Shell and Mel Blunt come up, and he would. They would just assault your receiver. They never got off the ground, off the line.
- [151:50]
Freddie Dreier
They just take him right off the line of scrimmage, and that's it.
- [151:53]
Adam Carolla
Drive him into the ground.
- [151:54]
Freddie Dreier
Playing with nine guys now, right?
- [151:55]
Adam Carolla
And they made rules that said, you know, you got to let the guy run free, basically.
- [152:00]
Freddie Dreier
No, they just said, you back off five yards and anybody, anybody in this room could catch it on their balls. I swear to God, you know, they do not. That's one of the reasons that older receivers are by the wayside now. You got all these young athletes coming into the league being able to play right away, but before you put a guy on them, a foot away from them and they'd get locked up, half of the experience, half of the dudes of a new receiver was learning how to get off the line of scrimmage. And so you had to be an apprentice for a couple of years in order to do that. That's why there was value in how you ran your routes, how you released the line of scrimmage, reading on the run. What's happening now is that you have people playing off the ball, so you don't need the experience. You just let everybody off the ball and just run down the field.
- [152:54]
Adam Carolla
Do you think LA is going to get a team and what's up and what's. Fred, you probably have some kind of. Of conspiracy theory against this, right?
- [153:01]
Freddie Dreier
Or about this, about why there hasn't been. Yeah, yeah, well, it's, it's more than a conspiracy theory. It's been.
- [153:06]
Adam Carolla
Well, that's what they all say.
- [153:07]
Freddie Dreier
It's been talked about.
- [153:08]
Adam Carolla
They say about the Twin Towers.
- [153:09]
Freddie Dreier
Yeah, exactly.
- [153:10]
Adam Carolla
Right. But why. What. What is your theory then? Or. I mean, it's not a conspiracy theory, but why doesn't Lau Ram for what it was is.
- [153:17]
Freddie Dreier
Is that the league wanted the city of Los Angeles to build a state stadium.
- [153:25]
Adam Carolla
I don't get. Here's what I can't figure out. They renovated the Coliseum.
- [153:29]
Freddie Dreier
They don't want the Colosseum. I understand they don't want it. SC can have it.
- [153:34]
Adam Carolla
Okay. But they renovated the Coliseum in the early 90s. Mid. Early 90s. And they added a bunch. They put, you know.
- [153:42]
Freddie Dreier
Yeah, they dropped. They dropped the stands down. Took the, took the track away and tightened it up.
- [153:47]
Adam Carolla
Understand is why can't you add some luxury boxes? I mean, everything have to be brand new. Still downtown la, you know, but downtown LA is coming around. Where do they want to build it?
- [154:00]
Freddie Dreier
Well, they want to build it over into the Staples center there. Well, you know, do the whole deal. You've been down there.
- [154:04]
Adam Carolla
Sure.
- [154:05]
Freddie Dreier
So it's. It's a very nice place for people to get in and get out of. Get a hang out there.
- [154:09]
Adam Carolla
20 years. It's insane that la. I mean, could you imagine when you were a Ram back in the, you know, late 70s, mid 70s, late 70s, early age. If somebody said, you know what, La is going to lose their team in about a decade and they'll be gone for 20 years, you'd be like, are you nuts?
- [154:26]
Freddie Dreier
You wouldn't think twice about saying that. You're fucking crazy. There's no way this team's leaving here. Why would it leave? How would it leave here? Why would it leave? What would be the circumstances that they would pull a team out of here? Well, the owner would have to die and an idiot would have to fucking move the team. And that's what happened.
- [154:39]
Adam Carolla
Were you there? You must have been there when Namath showed. Showed up at the Rams, right Yeah,
- [154:44]
Freddie Dreier
I was there from 72 to 81. He came in in 77.
- [154:46]
Adam Carolla
Right. What was that like? Was it a little. Was it. Did. Was it exciting or was it kind of sad?
- [154:53]
Freddie Dreier
Yeah, all things are true. It was a little bit both. But he came in here because Carol Rosenblum was pissed off at Chuck Knox for losing the 76 championship game in Minnesota. And it was just another frustration that Carol Carroll wanted to be able to talk to Chuck about the offense and do something about the offense. Chuck didn't want to do that. He wanted to do things his way. So Carroll, in the off season, 76. Between. 76. At the end of the 76 season, late January, about two months later, he contacts Joe Namath and he signs him up and he says, here's your quarterback, Chuck. And Chuck says, we want to bet.
- [155:32]
Adam Carolla
Right.
- [155:32]
Freddie Dreier
And so there was a lot of. Joe was in the middle. Joe came here. He's still a little bit weak in the knee, so he wasn't able to take part right away. And he said, just give me some time and I'll get stronger and I'll be able to play. Chuck said, no, fuck it. You're the quarterback. You were given to me. You're going to play. So Joe played prematurely when he was ready because Chuck wanted to shove Joe up Carol's ass. And that's what happened. Happened. So we. We got off to a terrible start. We kind of leveled out a little bit and then hit the fan in 77. It was Chuck's last year. The whole thing was. Was all about. We thought the whole thing was about Chuck pushing Joe up Carol's ass. That's what the whole season was about. And it was. And it was Chuck's last year of his contract.
- [156:22]
Adam Carolla
Right.
- [156:22]
Freddie Dreier
And so. And so he wanted to come back, but he was very, very stubborn, and you couldn't really talk to him about a lot of stuff. And so he made a huge mistake. And. And Carol would have brought him back. All he had to have done was sit there and listen and try to make some inroads and listen to Carol and. And make the offense a little bit better.
- [156:44]
Adam Carolla
And did Carol. Was Carol the one who drowned?
- [156:47]
Freddie Dreier
Yeah.
- [156:48]
Adam Carolla
And with Georgia Frontieri and sort of semi mysterious, whatever circumstance. I don't know if you guys know that whole story. A little Natalie Wood kind of working in reverse, you know, but. Well, the owner of the Rams sort of just waded out into the water or something.
- [157:06]
Freddie Dreier
It was very loud,
- [157:09]
Adam Carolla
and now she owned the team. And. I don't know, she was popular.
- [157:13]
Freddie Dreier
He had Gone down to Florida to meet with the attorneys to make the. The final transfer to the Rams to Steve Rosenblum. And he drops in Florida, in Florida, golden beach.
- [157:28]
Adam Carolla
Like just the kind of one out in the surf.
- [157:30]
Freddie Dreier
Well, it was a rough, cold day and he went out there and the people were standing on the. On the shores said they saw him. And then they. And they said we saw frogman and then we saw a boat go away. All this other type of stuff. And of course he drowned. And when Steve found out about it here in la, he jumps on an airplane and by the time he got to Florida, they cremated him.
- [157:53]
Adam Carolla
Oh, so there's no Freddy Dryer suspects a little foul play here.
- [157:59]
Freddie Dreier
Well, and not. Not only Freddy Dryer, but I think there's a lot of guys that. A lot of people that.
- [158:03]
Adam Carolla
Jim and Jack Young blood, the whole
- [158:05]
Freddie Dreier
Youngblood clan, everybody thought about it. Brooks Fanning, everybody thought about it. It was real. Carolina Olsen, it was a real sticky.
- [158:13]
Chris
We're gonna get to one guy. I'm not down with that.
- [158:16]
Freddie Dreier
Yeah, there's one guy out there probably doesn't.
- [158:18]
Adam Carolla
What kind of. Rod Perry. I'm trying to name every thought he
- [158:23]
Freddie Dreier
thought he would drown you. He was killed too.
- [158:25]
Adam Carolla
Rod. Rod Perry thought that too.
- [158:27]
Guest or caller (possibly Stick or Garrett)
Foul play could cause. Would cause someone to drown like that, though.
- [158:30]
Adam Carolla
Well, when. When guys who are, I don't know, of a certain age don't really go out and do a lot of like body surfing, you know, and. And they're rich power brokers and they own something and if someone stands a lot.
- [158:44]
Freddie Dreier
The money he had on him weighted them down.
- [158:46]
Adam Carolla
Yeah, he went out, just sort of drowned. And it was very old school and kind of suspicious. But it was before Quincy was around to do anything about it. Find me Deacon Jones, because I know we always show this, but I can't get enough.
- [159:01]
Chris
Does your careers overlap you in the deke?
- [159:04]
Freddie Dreier
Yeah, but not on the same team.
- [159:06]
Adam Carolla
Yeah. You were on start with the Giants.
- [159:08]
Freddie Dreier
I was the Giants. He was at the Rams. And when David left to go to San Diego, I came in Deacon Jones
- [159:15]
Adam Carolla
talking about his famous head slap move and how effective it was breaking arms
- [159:21]
Freddie Dreier
was the reality of the Deacon Jones head slap.
- [159:26]
Bald Brian
The head slap was to do two purposes. One was to give myself an initial
- [159:31]
Adam Carolla
head start on the fast rush.
- [159:32]
Bald Brian
In other words, a extra step. Because anytime you go upside a man's head or a woman, they may have a tendency to blink the eyes.
- [159:39]
Adam Carolla
Close the eyes. That's the greatest piece of video the NFL films have ever taken.
- [159:45]
Freddie Dreier
Stop the tape right now.
- [159:46]
Adam Carolla
Forget about the catch. Forget about the. The snowball or the frozen tundra or any of that. Or wants the best piece of footage they have. Or wants woman. He paused and said or a woman.
- [159:58]
Freddie Dreier
You should have. You should have spliced in a shot of him smacking a woman in the. In the lobby of the Ambassador Hotel.
- [160:05]
Adam Carolla
If people had cameras in their phones, I'm sure there would be thousands of hours of the Deacon going upside of Broad's head. You know, it's a simpler time.
- [160:14]
Freddie Dreier
What made him say that?
- [160:16]
Adam Carolla
Isis. Well, it's great because he. They're only talking to him about his swim technique. They're only not talking about life and relationships or anything like that. They're just saying what that move you do to get to the quarterback. Let's really discuss that and break down the technique. And because there's never been a female
- [160:37]
Freddie Dreier
in the league, he throws it in there.
- [160:41]
Adam Carolla
I suspect, and I've always said this, that the mid-70s, you remember this horrible time or whenever you said something like especially it's the era of Maud. Like if you said look, I just want the next president. I want him to be honest and educated. And so would go or she or she qualify, qualifying everything. I think an astronaut, I want him to be brave. Or she or she. And they ground that into people. And I think maybe, I doubt it,
- [161:11]
Freddie Dreier
but I don't think he's politically correct.
- [161:14]
Adam Carolla
Maybe, maybe the ERA ground the or she into him. But he did stop and say or a woman's head. Cuz they blink.
- [161:21]
Freddie Dreier
Yeah.
- [161:21]
Adam Carolla
And then what? You can get out of the hotel room. Or like what is the. What is the next move? Take out the hat rack. Like what, what is the move when you get the old lady to blink? I gotta watch it one more time. Because it's not that he says man or woman. It's that he says man. And then he pauses and goes head slap.
- [161:40]
Freddie Dreier
There it goes right there.
- [161:42]
Bald Brian
The head slap was to do two parts purposes. One was to give myself an initial
- [161:46]
Adam Carolla
head start on the fast bus.
- [161:47]
Bald Brian
In other words, a extra step.
- [161:50]
Adam Carolla
Because anytime you go upside a man's
- [161:52]
Bald Brian
head or a woman, then they have a tendency to blink their eyes or close their eyes.
- [161:56]
Adam Carolla
And that's all I needed. Let's say the husband was coming home, come home early from a business trip.
- [162:02]
Freddie Dreier
You get the hell.
- [162:02]
Adam Carolla
And she's blocking the door. Well, how are you getting around it? Why go with the open hand? She blinks momentarily and I go right through the door. Let's say it's a situation where you're At a party, and you're banging this one, and this next bitch shows up, you recognize her too. You got to get around her, and you got to get out that exit door. What do you do? Faint left, then swim, move, and then upside the head. She blinks momentarily. You go right outside of the party.
- [162:29]
Bald Brian
That's right.
- [162:31]
Adam Carolla
He also vetted the sack. I don't know if that was the term. Well, he invented the term the sack, but he probably, probably, probably also spread that around with the ladies a little. Or a lady. All right, shall we do a little news? And by the way, Freddie Dreyer's got himself a web talk show. The PM Show. It is a one hour talk show. I like to be on that show.
- [162:53]
Freddie Dreier
I'm gonna have you on. Mike Horn says hello, by the way.
- [162:55]
Adam Carolla
Thank you, Michael Horn. Tell him. Tell him I said hi and I'd like to be on. It's at. You can listen@crn talk talk.com. and Fred, not only an ex NFL great, but hell of an actor, too. He's done a ton of. Ton of movies, ton of TV. All right, crntalk.com let's do some news. You jump in, Freddie. Tell us the news with Allison Rosen. She'll read some news from her iPad. Sometimes it's good, sometimes it's bad. Allison. And when it's time to wrap it up, she'll sign it. Ever do any guest starring on the Facts of Life? Fred Dreyer Never made that one.
- [163:38]
Ronnie from Corona
No.
- [163:39]
Freddie Dreier
They have a great buffet, though.
- [163:40]
Adam Carolla
But I might. Oh, because you. You guys shot Hunter next door or something?
- [163:43]
Freddie Dreier
Well, we did our shows. Those are half hour shows. And half hour shows have better buffets, right?
- [163:47]
Adam Carolla
Yeah, our show. Yeah, you're out. You're out on location. But the half hour show's got the spread.
- [163:52]
Freddie Dreier
Yeah, you get a lot of smog, dust, and, yeah, alley dirt.
- [163:56]
Adam Carolla
It's no wonder Blair got fat. Fat.
- [163:58]
Guest or caller (possibly Stick or Garrett)
They all did.
- [163:58]
Adam Carolla
They all did. You know why? The craft service, they just stuck their
- [164:02]
Freddie Dreier
faces full of that stuff in.
- [164:03]
Adam Carolla
It's. It's. It's weird. It's a weird business. As I've said, there's two ways to. To get yourself out of this business. One is get fat. Second is get drunk. And every set has a buffet spread out with five different kinds of M&M's and 10 different kinds of chocolate dipped pretzels. And then there's always some walk around. Like, even if you say to yourself, you know, you know what? I'm not grazing. I'm staying away from the table with the red vines. And all the yumminess, Some chick will come by every 20 minutes. I made smoothies. I have quesadillas and smoothies. And you're just standing there going, how often does a chick come up with a tray of free smoothies and quesadillas? Like mini smoothies and mini quesadillas. You go, fuck it, give me that. So you will always get fat if you work. And then as a gift at the end of the year, bottle of Boo Lose. It's a weird message.
- [164:53]
Guest or caller (possibly Stick or Garrett)
I was wondering about that. Because they have a vested interest in keeping people skinny. So why are they doing that?
- [164:58]
Freddie Dreier
Well, they don't care. They really don't care. As long as your ratings are there. If you're a fat and you're a drunk, they'll write it into the script. You know,
- [165:06]
Adam Carolla
Natalie struggles with obesity while being strung out on peppermint schnapps.
- [165:12]
Guest or caller (possibly Stick or Garrett)
All right, that would have been a good episode. Yes, it would have. Apparently there's going to be a Facts of Life reunion in a couple weeks on Watch what happens Live with your friend.
- [165:20]
Freddie Dreier
We should go. And anyway, the.
- [165:22]
Adam Carolla
I. I'll tell you. I'll tell you this. The Facts of Life are smart because they're like, listen, if one of us gets fat, they'll fire them and they'll notice it. But if we all just put on three pounds an episode, nobody will notice.
- [165:37]
Guest or caller (possibly Stick or Garrett)
I'm just thinking,
- [165:40]
Adam Carolla
TV's getting smaller, that's all. They'll never know.
- [165:43]
Guest or caller (possibly Stick or Garrett)
We got to get Garrett into it, too, though.
- [165:45]
Chris
Someone goes away on vacation, they come back, I'm like, holy.
- [165:49]
Adam Carolla
The whole thing is, if we all grow incrementally, no one will really notice and no one will get singled out.
- [165:57]
Freddie Dreier
You got to push the sets out just a little.
- [165:59]
Adam Carolla
Yeah, just a little bit. All right, that'll be great.
- [166:03]
Guest or caller (possibly Stick or Garrett)
A local meteorologist is suing CBS and Los Angeles affiliates KCAL and KCBS for age and gender discrimination, claiming that stations are rejecting experience in favor of Pretty Face Kyle Hunter.
- [166:17]
Freddie Dreier
Idiocy.
- [166:18]
Guest or caller (possibly Stick or Garrett)
An award winning meteorologist with over 20 years of experience. And look at that head of hair.
- [166:22]
Adam Carolla
Is that the Himalayan? That's not a chick that's dressed as a dude to make a point.
- [166:26]
Guest or caller (possibly Stick or Garrett)
No, it's a dude that's groomed like
- [166:28]
Adam Carolla
a chick that's not a black dude who's dressed. That's not a black chick who's dressed as a white dude to play Eddie Murphy.
- [166:35]
Guest or caller (possibly Stick or Garrett)
It looks like blonde like me.
- [166:37]
Adam Carolla
It really does look like he's pulled his hair.
- [166:40]
Freddie Dreier
She just pulled his hair back.
- [166:42]
Guest or caller (possibly Stick or Garrett)
No, here's the thing. That guy, that pretty man has over 20 years of experience and says that his repeated attempts to apply for two open weather broadcaster positions were ignored or rebuffed because CBS was only interested in hiring young, beautiful women. He has a bachelor's degree in geosciences and broadcast meteorology.
- [167:01]
Adam Carolla
Doesn't make any difference, I know.
- [167:03]
Guest or caller (possibly Stick or Garrett)
Well, but it does to him and to his lawyer, Gloria Allred. She says the case may be the first of its kind because a man is claiming discrimination based on his age and gender. He's seeking unspecified damages, punitive damages and attorneys fees.
- [167:19]
Freddie Dreier
You got to specify.
- [167:20]
Adam Carolla
Yeah, I like that. I'd like to know. And look, here's the thing.
- [167:23]
Chris
All.
- [167:24]
Adam Carolla
It's a weird thing because all the weather guys never stop arguing and struggling for respect when really all we want is a chick with a nice meteorologist. Yeah. Nice CTs.
- [167:33]
Guest or caller (possibly Stick or Garrett)
He's certified by the AMS.
- [167:36]
Adam Carolla
Just point at something and naked it's gonna be.
- [167:39]
Guest or caller (possibly Stick or Garrett)
That's what he says.
- [167:40]
Adam Carolla
Porn.
- [167:41]
Freddie Dreier
What do they call a meteorologist? Just having everybody naked.
- [167:44]
Adam Carolla
Yeah. Maker.
- [167:45]
Guest or caller (possibly Stick or Garrett)
Oh, you're right.
- [167:46]
Adam Carolla
A meteorologist. M E A T. Well, his argument
- [167:50]
Guest or caller (possibly Stick or Garrett)
would be that he is a meteor meteorologist.
- [167:55]
Adam Carolla
We don't care what you do because you can't control the weather. You can just tell us about it. We got the Doppler radar for that.
- [168:01]
Guest or caller (possibly Stick or Garrett)
And you're usually not very accurate anyway.
- [168:05]
Adam Carolla
Yeah.
- [168:05]
Freddie Dreier
And just look out the window and fucking figure out the window.
- [168:08]
Gina Grad
Right.
- [168:09]
Adam Carolla
And we can fit. Or check Twitter and hot. There's things we need hot chicks for, and we'll tell you what they are, and this is one of them. And we won't let them fly the plane, but let them serve the drinks in the back. That's fine.
- [168:20]
Guest or caller (possibly Stick or Garrett)
What else do we need them for?
- [168:21]
Adam Carolla
Turning letters.
- [168:25]
Gina Grad
You're right.
- [168:25]
Adam Carolla
Doing porn, you know, things like that.
- [168:27]
Guest or caller (possibly Stick or Garrett)
And you'd think the big rack would get in the way of the letter turn, but no. Although they did go to.
- [168:32]
Gina Grad
They.
- [168:32]
Guest or caller (possibly Stick or Garrett)
Eventually they went to the touchscreen.
- [168:35]
Adam Carolla
Yes. And so we. This is what we want now. When they try to do the sports, they always fuck that up. I've heard the biggest mistake they had. I don't know, it was like Channel 5 or something. Had the Latina chick that couldn't pronounce Shaquille o' Neal's name and stuff. Like you could tell she was. There's a certain. You can tell when you're reading a name versus knowing the name. Like you might not pronounce LeBron James. LeBron. It might be LeBron or something. Like that. There's a lot of names in sports that are pretty, Pretty funky. You would not do who's Mazada? Or something like that from old Bangles reference. The point is this. You would screw up. Fred Dreyer, you would not fuck up. But there are a lot of names you would fuck up if you didn't know. So when you can tell that the chick is reading the teleprompter by how she says it. Like, if you ever hear. You can tell they're reading teleprompter when they go, the store clerk was attacked with a machete. That means they're reading it. So she was horrible. I don't know if she's still working, but let the dudes handle the sports. Let the chicks handle the weather, and that's good. Let the guy do sports. We don't care what you know about weather.
- [169:50]
Guest or caller (possibly Stick or Garrett)
You should suggest that to Gloria Allred.
- [169:52]
Adam Carolla
Well, people should be able to hire, fire and not hire almost anyone they want. That's their business.
- [169:59]
Guest or caller (possibly Stick or Garrett)
You want to do.
- [169:59]
Adam Carolla
You're going to do a news version or a news station that's basically Hooters on the air. That's your fucking business.
- [170:06]
Guest or caller (possibly Stick or Garrett)
Well, and plus, the thing with entertainment jobs is that I just don't know how much you can make these kind of arguments. It's like, you know what I mean? Like, any out of work actor can make a case for why he's out of work.
- [170:17]
Chris
Or.
- [170:17]
Guest or caller (possibly Stick or Garrett)
Or a lady. But.
- [170:20]
Adam Carolla
Right, right. It's just like when. Like when you get pregnant, if. If they want to, can you. They should be able to can you. Because that. They're not. They didn't hire a pregnant person to play this ingenue in their. In their. Yes, they should. Listen, they should be able to fire.
- [170:40]
Guest or caller (possibly Stick or Garrett)
That happened on Melrose Place. Hunter Tylo.
- [170:42]
Adam Carolla
I remember that.
- [170:43]
Guest or caller (possibly Stick or Garrett)
Yeah, sure. It's a long time ago.
- [170:45]
Chris
Anyway, this guy doesn't have a case.
- [170:46]
Guest or caller (possibly Stick or Garrett)
I don't remember the results.
- [170:46]
Freddie Dreier
She's still pregnant.
- [170:48]
Adam Carolla
Yeah. Sorry. She's still pregnant? Yeah.
- [170:50]
Guest or caller (possibly Stick or Garrett)
She's pregnant with an elephant.
- [170:52]
Adam Carolla
Yeah. We got the real Hunter in this room, baby. Forget about her. All right. Where were we?
- [170:56]
Guest or caller (possibly Stick or Garrett)
Well, a Massachusetts urologist group is offering a promotion during.
- [171:00]
Adam Carolla
What do you think Gloria Allred did with this weatherman? He went like. Listen, normally I only work with chicks. Oh, you'll do.
- [171:08]
Guest or caller (possibly Stick or Garrett)
Yeah. Is that moose in your hair done?
- [171:11]
Adam Carolla
Yeah, yeah. Close enough. Close enough. Sit down. All right, sorry.
- [171:15]
Guest or caller (possibly Stick or Garrett)
See, I don't want to make generalizations, but that guy, that muffin head, could he really be a sports guy? I Mean, look at him. He looks more like a weather guy.
- [171:23]
Adam Carolla
No, no, that wouldn't works at a hotel. Yeah, that's right. And. And has a headset and a dicky mock turtleneck. And it's. The guy at the hotel doesn't do anything. He's always in between. I don't work the dad and just shoot me.
- [171:38]
Freddie Dreier
He's a greeter.
- [171:39]
Adam Carolla
That's it.
- [171:39]
Freddie Dreier
At a Hawaiian hotel somewhere.
- [171:42]
Adam Carolla
All right, what's next?
- [171:44]
Guest or caller (possibly Stick or Garrett)
Massachusetts urologist group is offering a promotion during March Madness, free pizza with every vasectomy.
- [171:51]
Freddie Dreier
Do you trust your balls?
- [171:52]
Guest or caller (possibly Stick or Garrett)
Those two guys, they're handling balls. An administrator with Urology Associates of Cape Cod says it's a light hearted way to raise awareness about the procedure and drum up business. According to the urologist, getting a vasectomy during the NCAA basketball tournament is the perfect time because typically a day or two of recovery is needed following the operation. So it gives patients an excuse to lie on the couch and watch hoops. And we just finished the first weekend of the NCAA tournament and play resumes this Thursday with the Sweet 16.
- [172:23]
Freddie Dreier
That makes complete sense to me.
- [172:25]
Adam Carolla
I like the vasectomy. The problem with the vasectomy, it's a self selecting group, which is if you want a vasectomy, then I don't need you to have one. It's the guy who's going on his ninth kid with seven chicken and is moving on and living in Florida. That's the guy.
- [172:38]
Guest or caller (possibly Stick or Garrett)
And if you suggest that guy gets one, he'd be like, hell no.
- [172:41]
Freddie Dreier
Yeah, you get them season tickets, they give you.
- [172:45]
Adam Carolla
Oh, really? Yeah. Oh, season tickets will get you part of the package. I like that. You know, it's a bad sign when someone is asking you to please stop. Fucking just please stop, please. You're ruining the planet. Could you please start pulling out, please?
- [172:58]
Guest or caller (possibly Stick or Garrett)
Do you have friends who've had them?
- [173:01]
Adam Carolla
I think I do. Yeah. I do have friends that have had them. Yeah. They haven't. They're reversible. Yes, that's so it seems like.
- [173:10]
Guest or caller (possibly Stick or Garrett)
Why aren't more people getting them?
- [173:12]
Adam Carolla
I guys have problems with incisions in their ball sack.
- [173:16]
Freddie Dreier
Yeah, they don't want that guy with a knife near their dick.
- [173:19]
Adam Carolla
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because right in the middle of that NC State, State drains a three and his hands fly up, you know, and your balls go flying across the. You don't want that.
- [173:29]
Guest or caller (possibly Stick or Garrett)
Or what if he has to sneeze? I mean, I've asked my dad, who's a doctor, I said, what happens when they have to sneeze and apparently, that's not a real issue to me.
- [173:38]
Adam Carolla
It would be sneezing.
- [173:39]
Guest or caller (possibly Stick or Garrett)
No, just. I just wonder. Yeah, it would be an issue if
- [173:44]
Adam Carolla
I had to sneeze loudest have to sneeze. I mean, you could do that with a lot of different jobs. Right.
- [173:49]
Guest or caller (possibly Stick or Garrett)
You're right. I'm surprised more people don't get into car accidents because you see much like when you slap someone upside the head,
- [173:55]
Adam Carolla
they momentarily you close your eyes when you sneeze. Yeah.
- [174:00]
Guest or caller (possibly Stick or Garrett)
We're all lucky to be alive.
- [174:01]
Adam Carolla
That's right.
- [174:02]
Guest or caller (possibly Stick or Garrett)
Oprah's own network announced that it will be canceling production of Rosie o' Donnell's daily talk show. What I know in its five months on the air, it never got great. That's right. But not only is it doing great, at the beginning it only had 500,000 viewers and then it plummeted to an extra of 230,000.
- [174:20]
Adam Carolla
Hell, we're beating that shit.
- [174:22]
Guest or caller (possibly Stick or Garrett)
I know. That was. That's what I thought.
- [174:24]
Freddie Dreier
How many folks do you go out to?
- [174:28]
Adam Carolla
Look about 400,000 an episode now. Yeah. Take that, Oprah. And we're on the rise.
- [174:34]
Freddie Dreier
Well, look, look, I mean, what do you. What are you getting here?
- [174:37]
Adam Carolla
I mean, well, Rose, the thing, it's tough. There's a pie that's being cut into slivers that are so thin that light passes through it. Now on television, I mean, it's just the networks are falling apart. Everyone is having to whack this stuff up. The shows that are doing the best are these guys that are hunting gators on fan boats. And it's insane what's going on. Evidently, we only want to see guys who hang around swamps and shoot things.
- [175:08]
Guest or caller (possibly Stick or Garrett)
I actually have a story about that as well.
- [175:10]
Adam Carolla
Oh, really?
- [175:10]
Guest or caller (possibly Stick or Garrett)
Yeah, I do.
- [175:11]
Adam Carolla
I just want to hear the part where Rosie says we decided that 31 episodes was enough of my daily show and we decided to go a different direction. It's like just do the part where you got no ratings and you got shit can and we're moving on. And his own, by the way, as far as Oprah's network, I can't believe she named something after herself. That's not the Oprah I know is that network must not be doing very well.
- [175:35]
Guest or caller (possibly Stick or Garrett)
They cut 30 people.
- [175:37]
Adam Carolla
Isn't her flag she ship but they came Pontiacs on their way out.
- [175:41]
Bald Brian
This.
- [175:42]
Adam Carolla
This is her flagship show, right?
- [175:45]
Guest or caller (possibly Stick or Garrett)
Yeah. I don't think is doing very well, but Oprah released a statement. I thank Rosie from the bottom of my heart for joining me on this journey. She has no heart as I have learned. Oh, Adam. As I have learned in the last
- [175:58]
Gina Grad
15,
- [176:01]
Guest or caller (possibly Stick or Garrett)
it is beautiful. Ebony. As I have learned in the last 15 months, a new network launches all always a challenge. And ratings grow over time as you continue to gather an audience. I'm grateful to Rosie and the dedicated Rosie show team for giving it their all. Despite the ratings, the Rosie show attracted fairly interesting guests, and the program had recently switched from a live studio audience to one on one interviews. Its most notable episode will likely remain the one in which Chelsea Handler spoke openly and in defense of the abortion she had as a teenager.
- [176:29]
Freddie Dreier
Oh, that's what, there it is right there.
- [176:31]
Adam Carolla
Yeah, Donald Trump, like Rosie, you know, like this abortion of a show we have here. I, I too had an abortion. Actually, Deacon Jones caused it spontaneously. When it went upside my head, he head slapped. That's right. I gave him 40 bucks.
- [176:45]
Chris
Mr. Jones.
- [176:48]
Freddie Dreier
Rosie's also turned into Lou Costello, a
- [176:52]
Adam Carolla
little bit of, well, a bitter Lou Costello. Yeah, I like. I, I, I'd shove her ass right back on the View because that shows needs somebody to get in there.
- [177:00]
Guest or caller (possibly Stick or Garrett)
Who would she replace?
- [177:02]
Adam Carolla
She could replace all of them, any of them. Or she could just hover above them in gravity boots, eating the entire time. It would be nice. It's going to be hard to replace, but someone's, someone's got to do it.
- [177:16]
Guest or caller (possibly Stick or Garrett)
So Donald Trump took to Twitter and wrote, rosie o' Donnell has failed again.
- [177:22]
Adam Carolla
Oh, God.
- [177:24]
Guest or caller (possibly Stick or Garrett)
Classy. Her ratings were abysmal and Oprah canceled her on Friday night. When will media executives learn that Rosie just hasn't got it?
- [177:32]
Adam Carolla
She's not. She's classless. She lacks class. She's a vacuum of classitude. She does not possess one. In one of my pinky rings, I have more. Actually, there's three of them. The middle pinky ring has more class in it than that fat, unclassless lack of classicity. She has no class genes. She has no class platelets. She's missing classlets in her blood. She does not own class and will never know class like I have. I have golden toilet seats. So I'm class. I'm above class reproach. She does not possess class and thus she'll never catch on with America. America one class.
- [178:19]
Chris
What if we had the other direction just once on Rosie?
- [178:22]
Freddie Dreier
You know what I mean?
- [178:22]
Chris
Like, look at the Don.
- [178:23]
Adam Carolla
I've turned on the news and heard about the class warfares. I understand people out in the streets arguing for class. Those Wall street guys, some of my
- [178:31]
Guest or caller (possibly Stick or Garrett)
friends are very class.
- [178:32]
Adam Carolla
They want to bring class back.
- [178:34]
Freddie Dreier
By the way, I Caught you. I caught you on the. On the Apprentice.
- [178:39]
Adam Carolla
Oh, yeah.
- [178:40]
Freddie Dreier
Let me ask you a question. What the hell was Lou Ferrigno doing?
- [178:43]
Adam Carolla
Well, he's given 110%.
- [178:46]
Guest or caller (possibly Stick or Garrett)
No, 120, according to Clay.
- [178:50]
Adam Carolla
What wasn't he.
- [178:51]
Freddie Dreier
Not what was he responsible for?
- [178:53]
Adam Carolla
Well, Lou. Lou.
- [178:55]
Freddie Dreier
Somebody sent him out on a mission. I mean, he had to bring something back, a sign or something, didn't it, Lou?
- [179:01]
Adam Carolla
It would be like. It. It'd be like one of these. Lou was. When you're trying to work, like, get something done in a. In a confined space, in a confined period of time, Lou was like having a drunken rhinoceros helping you, you know, and it just bumping into you and knocking stuff over everybody. And let me tell you something. I used to be a carpenter. So don't come to me with the. I work construction for five years. I can't tell you how many guys have come up to me and go, I used to work construction. I used to help my dad. I worked five summers doing this. I'm a carpenter. Blah, blah, blah. I'll just go, what's the butt side of the door? What's the strike side of the door? It's like. Well, we didn't magically. Whatever I asked him to do, they didn't do that part of the construction. So Lou worked construction, except for he could not help me do any of the construction I was doing. He was Lou, one of these guys. It's actually. It's kind of an interesting algorithm, which is you decide that the world is against you and out to get you, and then you're just motivated, like Clubber Lang your entire life. You know, you just go, everyone thinks I can't do it. Everyone is talking about me behind my back. I got a target on my back, but I'm gonna show everyone. Meanwhile, no one gives a shit.
- [180:18]
Freddie Dreier
He's the one that pissed off Trump, didn't he?
- [180:21]
Adam Carolla
He was pissing off everybody on the team because he would sit there and want to do some Incredible Hulk knockoff thing. It'd be like. It'd be like this, Fred, Mr. Drive. It'd be like if almost every conversation you had with anybody, like, let's just say you're talking to your real estate guy and they were talking about pulling some permit. You're like, well, I could get in the old Hunter outfit and get in the old Dodge, and they're going, okay, Fred. But that's. That's not going to help us get this permit. Let me tell you, as soon as I don that Hunter Leather jacket. Jacket. Like, okay, that's not icon.
- [180:59]
Chris
Why wouldn't. Everyone should.
- [181:00]
Adam Carolla
Everyone's gonna. Yeah, but the guys down at. The guys down at Plancheck don't care. No. I could get in the hunter outfit if you want. Like, it's like your solution to every problem would be to get in the hunter outfit and get in the old Dodge and go drive up to the. And it was like his whole solution to everything was, I. I could get into the Hulk outfit. It's an icon, people. It's recognized work worldwide. I could get into the outfit, and I could do. And it's like, okay, Lou, that's. That's not going to help us on this particular task.
- [181:31]
Freddie Dreier
That's what he brought.
- [181:32]
Adam Carolla
That's what he brought. But then he goes out and won it. He won his task last week, so who the hell knows what's going on with Lou? Plus, you know, we had a moment. We were staying on the same floor when. When I got kicked off. A sullen Lou Ferrigno.
- [181:48]
Freddie Dreier
Did he call you out?
- [181:49]
Adam Carolla
He came down. He didn't have to call me. He walked down the hall. It's about 10:30 at night. I was packing my bags, making some lentil soup. There's Lou Frigno flip flops, underpants, and just, like, a wife beater on, just standing there. Go, go. Miss you, bro. Hunked it out the doorway.
- [182:06]
Freddie Dreier
So, you know, head slap. Give you a head slap.
- [182:08]
Adam Carolla
He wanted. Is there any ladies in here I could give a head? I said no.
- [182:12]
Chris
Confused. Other person staying at the hotel. I think I just saw the Incredible Hulk and Adam Carl from the man show hugging in the hallway in their underwear.
- [182:19]
Freddie Dreier
But. But did Don call you out? Say, avocarola, you're fired.
- [182:23]
Adam Carolla
Yes, he did. He fired. He fired. I got myself fired.
- [182:26]
Freddie Dreier
Do you have that on tape? I mean, it's.
- [182:27]
Adam Carolla
I'm sure. I'm sure we could find it.
- [182:30]
Freddie Dreier
God.
- [182:30]
Adam Carolla
Yeah. It's nice. Yeah. Most people ask him to do that into their outgoing message. I actually lived it. You know what I mean? Yeah, I know.
- [182:36]
Freddie Dreier
That's painful.
- [182:37]
Adam Carolla
It is.
- [182:37]
Guest or caller (possibly Stick or Garrett)
Do you wake up at night screaming?
- [182:41]
Adam Carolla
Louis
- [182:44]
Guest or caller (possibly Stick or Garrett)
Trump has been bashing Rosie for years, claiming she's a pig and a loser after she called him a snake oil salesman.
- [182:52]
Adam Carolla
Yeah.
- [182:53]
Freddie Dreier
That's all she had.
- [182:54]
Adam Carolla
Mm.
- [182:55]
Guest or caller (possibly Stick or Garrett)
Evidently, she was very, very tough to work with.
- [182:57]
Freddie Dreier
He won that. He won that. That open. That open shootout with her. He was much more aggressive and much more cutting than she could ever be, and I'm kind of surprised. I thought she had a lot of in her.
- [183:09]
Adam Carolla
It. She does in it. But it's a. It's a weird thing. She should have shredded him up. He's. He's kind of impervious, like people, you know, oh, did you make fun of his hair? And it's like, come on. He's. He's heard every hair joke. He is impervious to hair jokes. He cannot.
- [183:25]
Freddie Dreier
I thought she was going to really. I thought she was going to start going in an area there that might have.
- [183:31]
Adam Carolla
Should have got really pissed focused on his kids and his. His ex wives and some stuff like that, you know, she really wanted to
- [183:37]
Freddie Dreier
go there was the target area.
- [183:39]
Guest or caller (possibly Stick or Garrett)
Speaking of, where did this other Trump son come from? I only first heard about him in the photos with the dead animals from the safari.
- [183:47]
Adam Carolla
Eric. Eric Trump.
- [183:48]
Guest or caller (possibly Stick or Garrett)
Yeah.
- [183:49]
Adam Carolla
Right.
- [183:49]
Guest or caller (possibly Stick or Garrett)
Has he always been around a part of the show?
- [183:51]
Adam Carolla
There's Don Jr. And there's Eric and then there's Ivanka. And Ivanka's like a super. She's the most impressive. She is more impressive. Impressive than the Donald is. She's. Of all the Trumps. She's incredibly put together. She's a smart businesswoman. She's well spoken. She's beautiful. Like, you see her and it's like, oh, my God.
- [184:12]
Freddie Dreier
Yeah, she, she went to Wharton, didn't she? Didn't she go to the business school?
- [184:15]
Adam Carolla
Well, they all. They all went to war. They have to go to Wharton. Yeah.
- [184:20]
Freddie Dreier
Otherwise dad's not gonna.
- [184:21]
Adam Carolla
No, she. She knows her and she's like wildly composed. And you know, she's not. She's not flustered. I mean, she's just like sort of the perfect woman. Like if you two were alone in just a condominium with no one else around and there was just one bathroom and you saw her leave the bathroom and then you walked in to take a piss and somebody had funkified it, you'd be like, somebody must have broke in here and taken a shit really quick right after Ivanka left. That couldn't not have come from her ass, right? Impossible.
- [184:54]
Guest or caller (possibly Stick or Garrett)
That's how composed she is.
- [184:55]
Adam Carolla
That's how composed she is.
- [184:57]
Ronnie from Corona
I don't know what you're talking about.
- [184:59]
Guest or caller (possibly Stick or Garrett)
She's like a vita.
- [185:01]
Adam Carolla
Do we have me being fired? Is that.
- [185:03]
Freddie Dreier
How'd you like Paul Senior?
- [185:05]
Adam Carolla
Oh, he's a good guy. Yeah, yeah. I mean, he's just. And you're right. You were the project manager.
- [185:11]
Freddie Dreier
You're the manager.
- [185:11]
Adam Carolla
You also did a great job.
- [185:14]
Freddie Dreier
Arsenio, you're fired.
- [185:19]
Adam Carolla
Yeah. Who knows what that shot was from.
- [185:21]
Guest or caller (possibly Stick or Garrett)
I like that he blows a little Smoke up everyone's ass before the firing.
- [185:24]
Adam Carolla
You're terrific, Arsenio. We loved your show. What happened 21 years ago, Donald, you really get into syndication and how it worked.
- [185:34]
Guest or caller (possibly Stick or Garrett)
I've been dying to ask him.
- [185:35]
Adam Carolla
He's always everyone's biggest fan. Debbie, I saw you on Broadway. Not in a theater. I just on the street. That was awesome, what you were doing with the open guitar cast case. Yeah, he does. He.
- [185:46]
Guest or caller (possibly Stick or Garrett)
I have great respect.
- [185:47]
Adam Carolla
Like, somebody will just tell him, hey, he do Freddy Fred. I show you. I show you on that. Oh, nobody took out a quarterback like the great Fred Driver. You ever see this guy? Oh, and then everybody talked to him. So he's been like 14. Like, I don't know. The. That is.
- [186:02]
Bald Brian
Oh, man.
- [186:02]
Adam Carolla
Oh, man. I saw him go. He was. He went outside. It was. He what? You know, Terry Bradshaw Shaw, I believe. Blindside him. Took him out like nothing, you know. Unbelievable, this guy. Love you. Big fan. You're fired. Yeah. Never been a bigger fan of someone. He can, you know, normally your boss explain you what a dick you are, and then they fire you, but this is this case. Big fan. All right, we good? One more, you want?
- [186:30]
Guest or caller (possibly Stick or Garrett)
Okay, well, there's a little more about what all the staffers from Rosie o' DONNELL show are now saying. It was such a fucking hellhole. Said one to the Daily Beast about working on the show.
- [186:40]
Adam Carolla
Yes.
- [186:41]
Guest or caller (possibly Stick or Garrett)
During one taping, o' Donnell uncontrollably yelled at a publicist backstage because she didn't like the parameters agreed upon for an interview. But see that I can get behind.
- [186:49]
Adam Carolla
I had a friend who worked for her, okay. And he was like, it was fucking hell. Like, it was horrible. And unfortunately, he was really high up on the ladder, so it was his job to fire everybody. And she would just mow through people. And this is the happy Rosie. This is the cutie patootie, chub club roadie.
- [187:14]
Freddie Dreier
The married Rosie, right?
- [187:15]
Adam Carolla
Yeah. Yes. Married to her work with. Married. Yes, that was that Rosie. And this poor guy had to fucking suffer through this. He'd just be like. I mean, these guys, it's like that battle fatigue when you say, like, and you bring these people's names up to them and they're like, oh, God, no, dear God. And, you know, a lot of people go, oh, that's just hearsay. Or he's a bull fucking shit. If you work with somebody, especially in that situation, if you're working on their TV show or their talk show especially, you work very closely with them, you see how they handle this situation. And it's a pressure filled situation. And everybody, no matter how nice they are, will occasionally raise their voice and go, how many times I got to tell you, I want the Chyron. You can't put white chiron over a white background. It doesn't read. Now, how many times you want to talk about this? Because they feel pressure, but that's different than being a dick or a cunt. They will tell you stories. And his stories about Rosie were just, oh, God, she's horrible.
- [188:10]
Freddie Dreier
Well, what she doesn't know, apparently, is that she worked on network tv, because people on network TV who watching these daytime shows aren't the ones that really buy cable. So she goes to cable and all of her audience is on another.
- [188:27]
Adam Carolla
Right.
- [188:27]
Freddie Dreier
And so she's appealing to people that really. You don't really give a shit.
- [188:31]
Adam Carolla
Also, I think Oprah should have maybe done what Peyton Manning probably should do, which is ride off into the sunset a genius instead of fizzling out, tarnishing the legacy on a high note. Yeah. You were the richest woman in television. Everyone knows you as an innovator, and you broke down a bunch of barriers and now you just go off and
- [188:53]
Freddie Dreier
sail so she could have a failed show.
- [188:56]
Adam Carolla
Well, that's the whole thing. We got Rosie and you got open. Oprah has a failing network. And now when the history books are written, it's sort of like, well, was she that smart or was it just a right place, right time? Because she had all the capital in
- [189:08]
Freddie Dreier
the world, she was on network tv,
- [189:09]
Adam Carolla
she's able to start her own network, and her network is failing horribly.
- [189:14]
Guest or caller (possibly Stick or Garrett)
All right, that's the news. I'm Allison Rosen. The Bitcoin
- [189:19]
Adam Carolla
that was the news with Alison Rosen. Ah, yes. Stamps.com. very, very good, Fred. You send things via the mail these days?
- [189:28]
Freddie Dreier
No, I don't use the mail.
- [189:29]
Adam Carolla
Perfect. Stamps dot com is then. What'd he say? He said it was the ultimate mail.
- [189:34]
Chris
That's right.
- [189:35]
Adam Carolla
Stamps.com. they'll give you a digital scale. I'm gonna. I'm gonna pull you back toward the mail.
- [189:39]
Guest or caller (possibly Stick or Garrett)
This will make you come back toward the light.
- [189:42]
Adam Carolla
Stamps.com. i know why I don't use the mail.
- [189:44]
Ronnie from Corona
Right.
- [189:44]
Freddie Dreier
You're going to give things away.
- [189:46]
Adam Carolla
You don't feel like. Yes. You don't feel like going down.
- [189:48]
Freddie Dreier
Just walking down to the post office.
- [189:49]
Adam Carolla
You don't want to wait line with all those.
- [189:52]
Freddie Dreier
I don't. I don't wait. I just go right to the head of the line. Just dump it in there.
- [189:55]
Adam Carolla
Really like, hey, that's Hunter. Back off.
- [189:59]
Freddie Dreier
I Come in. I come in and say, all right, stand up.
- [190:02]
Adam Carolla
Licking stamps. Looking at fugitives. Now. Now, stamp.com. you never have to leave your house. You got. You do business.
- [190:09]
Chris
Oh, yeah.
- [190:09]
Freddie Dreier
You do it through the computer.
- [190:10]
Adam Carolla
You do it through the computer. That's what I'm talking about.
- [190:14]
Freddie Dreier
That's what Oprah should have been doing.
- [190:15]
Adam Carolla
She should have got. Invented something.
- [190:17]
Freddie Dreier
Something like that.
- [190:18]
Adam Carolla
Not smart enough. They'll give you digital scale. You plug it right in your computer, you weigh the letter on it, and the exact amount appears on your screen.
- [190:26]
Guest or caller (possibly Stick or Garrett)
Magic alchemy.
- [190:28]
Adam Carolla
It's insane. They got a special no risk offer. You can get the digital scale and 55 bucks worth of free postage.
- [190:37]
Freddie Dreier
And this will completely get rid of the government as far as.
- [190:40]
Adam Carolla
That's right. Yes.
- [190:41]
Freddie Dreier
Everybody should do it.
- [190:42]
Adam Carolla
Then we don't need it. Use stamps.com.
- [190:46]
