In this engaging episode of The Adam Carolla Show, host Adam Carolla welcomes comedian Monique Marvez back to the studio to delve into a range of topics, including a critical analysis of Super Bowl commercials, the cultural divide highlighted by recent events, and insightful political commentary. Alongside, producer Marc Joseph and news segment host Jason "Mayhem" Miller contribute to a dynamic and thought-provoking conversation.

Super Bowl Commercial Breakdown

Focus on Nike's Women's Campaigns

A significant portion of the episode is dedicated to dissecting the Super Bowl commercials, with a particular emphasis on Nike's advertising strategies targeting women. Adam Carolla expresses frustration over Nike's portrayal of women, arguing that while the brand attempts to empower female athletes, it often comes across as condescending and ineffective.

• Adam Carolla (07:23):
  "To me, it feels condescending. Number one, it feels ineffective."

Monique Marvez supports Adam's critique, highlighting how corporate messaging around empowerment can sometimes miss the mark by not addressing genuine societal issues.

• Monique Marvez (07:46):
  "They gotta cook everybody into it. There's so much positivity in each of these things. They're trying to make it positive."

Climate Change and Corporate Responsibility

The conversation shifts to Nike’s climate change commercial, which Adam criticizes for its bleak portrayal of the future without offering actionable solutions. He ponders the effectiveness of fear-based marketing in driving meaningful change.

• Adam Carolla (17:38):
  "By the time a child born today goes to college, it may be too late."

Monique adds that such commercials often lack a clear call to action, making them feel more like virtue signaling than genuine attempts to address environmental issues.

• Monique Marvez (17:24):
  "It feels like they're just saying everything is bad all the time."

Cultural and Political Divide: Taylor Swift vs. Donald Trump

Taylor Swift Booed at the Super Bowl

Monique Marvez brings attention to a pivotal moment during the Super Bowl where pop icon Taylor Swift was booed by a segment of the audience, while former President Donald Trump received overwhelming cheers. This incident is used to illustrate the deep-seated cultural and political divisions within American society.

• Monique Marvez (44:50):
  "The stark contrast played out in one of the nation's biggest stages, further highlighting the depolarization between entertainment elites and everyday Americans."

Implications of Public Perception

Adam critiques the superficial aspects of celebrity influence, suggesting that public figures like Taylor Swift must navigate a popularity contest that often compromises their genuine beliefs for widespread acceptance.

• Adam Carolla (45:08):
  "She's gotta be careful about what she says... It's all virtue signaling."

Critique of Corporate Messaging and Empowerment

Overuse of Empowerment Terminology

Adam and Monique discuss the trend of corporations labeling employees as "heroes" or "superstars," arguing that such terms are overused and lose their intended impact. They contend that this superficial empowerment does little to address real-world challenges or enhance employee morale.

• Adam Carolla (07:46):
  "Number one, it feels ineffective. And also, if you call someone a team member versus a coworker versus an employee, it makes no never mind."

Monique echoes this sentiment, emphasizing that the overuse of positive language can feel disingenuous and patronizing.

• Monique Marvez (07:15):
  "They gotta cook everybody into it. There's so much positivity in each of these things."

Political Commentary: Fetterman and Biden

John Fetterman Criticizes the Democratic Party

The episode transitions into political discourse, with Adam and Monique examining Senator John Fetterman's recent critique of the Democratic Party. Fetterman describes the party as toxic due to its tendency to shame and scold voters, reflecting internal conflicts and dissatisfaction within the party.

• Monique Marvez (58:54):
  "In a surprising admission filled Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman openly criticized his own party, describing Democratic brand as toxic due to his habit of shaming and scolding voters."

Joe Biden's Integrity Questions

Adam brings up concerns regarding President Joe Biden's credibility, specifically addressing his alleged misstatements about his educational background. He criticizes Biden for fabricating details about his academic achievements, questioning the integrity of political leaders who bend the truth for personal gain.

• Adam Carolla (61:22):
  "Newsweek says Biden actually went to school on a half scholarship, ended up near the bottom of his class, and won only one degree, not three."

Monique adds to this critique by highlighting how political figures often manipulate narratives to maintain favorable public images.

• Monique Marvez (76:51):
  "So when you use hyperbole all the time, you run a risk of not being listened to."

[Adam Carolla]

Sound good?

[Angel Reese]

All you have to do to get it is beat me in a one on one. I'm just playing get the Angel Reese Special at McDonald's now. Ba da ba ba ba.

[Adam Carolla]

I participate in restaurants for a limited time in this show. Very funny. Comed. Comedian Monique Marvez is back in studio. Also a lot of roundup. I'll tell you all about my super bowl thoughts. Break down some commercials, some game film. We'll do some news with Mayhem and we'll do all that right after this. All right. This show brought to you in part by Simply Safe. If you have 30 minutes, you never have to worry about break ins ever again. Just go to simplisafe.com Adam get all the sensors you need, all the help you need as well to set it up. Custom system is going to show up post [e-mail] Adam. From Corolla One Studios in Glendale, California, this is the Adam Carolla Show. Adam's guest today, comedian Monique Marvez. Plus the producer of Reagan, Marc Joseph. And we'll do the news and trending topics with Jason Mayhem Miller. And now congratulating the best hurts in the NFL since OJ did those rental car commercials, Adam Carolla. Yeah. Get it on. Got to get on a church. Get it on. Okay, so it's a day delayed, but it's our super bowl wrap up show. Mayhem's in studio. He was hanging out at the party through here. I'd say this place turned into a pretty decent man cave back there.

[Monique Marvez]

It did.

[Adam Carolla]

Got some TVs going and some food flowing.

[Monique Marvez]

Multiple.

[Adam Carolla]

Multiple TVs going. Yeah. Got a little sports bar vibe going back here. I was happy to see Sonny and he brought Phil. Oh, man, I miss that dog so much. Cause I got divorced and I got thrown out of my condo. So now I don't get to see Phil.

[Monique Marvez]

No visitation.

[Adam Carolla]

No visitation with Phil. Well, I probably could work it out.

[Monique Marvez]

Come on. Peace treaty.

[Adam Carolla]

God. Nah, I can't do it. I don't like Phil that much. But Phil, don't you love Phil?

[Monique Marvez]

And lovable lunk.

[Adam Carolla]

Just a.

[Monique Marvez]

Just a beast, a bear of a dog. Just lovable.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah.

[Monique Marvez]

And the minute, like America's Funniest Home Videos, the minute that we turned our, our face away from a plate that was within his reach and it was gone.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah.

[Monique Marvez]

What was that? I don't know. Nachos? Who knows? It was. Yeah, Bill's got it.

[Adam Carolla]

Also thought it was fun that my son's such a big MMA fan and you were showing him a little grappling techniques, little hand control techniques. I thought that was really cool.

[Monique Marvez]

Yeah, he got, look, I figured, all right, I got, you know, 18 year old kid, you know, 20 minutes to hang out. I don't know, two hours overnight, 20 minute sessions. He walked away with. If somebody grabs his hand, he knows how to get away. Now that's good. The technique is there.

[Adam Carolla]

He's a natural grappler, that boy. So lots of super bowl stuff to get into. I don't know why. I mainly respond to commercials that are the era that we're living in, which is a cowardly era where people announce everyone is a hero and a superstar and a rock star. And I don't get it. What we do is Covid comes around, we act like cowards and then we say, but the nurses are heroes or superstars or whatever it is. So we're doing this weird thing where we're proclaiming people are heroic while we're acting cowardly. Now when I grew up, we didn't do either one. You just won about your business. No one was labeled a hero.

[Monique Marvez]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

And it's an interesting phenomenon as we turn more cowardly and more safety oriented, Superhero movies get bigger. And the use of the word hero diminished gets thrown. Yeah, it's diminished because it's thrown around. Also, I'll never forget, I was in. I was in Orange county and my daughter was playing one of her marathon volleyball games about four or five years ago. And I went out to do the lunch run. Cause it's crazy. Cause it's like you're there, you gotta drive them to Orange county, gotta get them there at like 7:30 in the morning. Then you have to watch volleyball for like 11 hours and somewhere in between you're going on a lunch run for them. You know, none of these things existed when I was young. But anyway, I'd been there since about 7:30 in the morning. They were breaking for lunch at noon. I just got my car and went to go to like a Jersey Mike sandwich shop. Actually I think it was Tommy John's or whatever it is.

[Monique Marvez]

Jimmy John's.

[Adam Carolla]

Jimmy John's sandwich shop. It was before they opened unfortunately, but there was a sign that said they were hiring. And this is in like a strip mall in Covina. And it said now hiring rock stars. And I thought there could be no further lifestyle difference than you working at this Jimmy John's in Covina making sandwiches. That does not resemble the rock star lifestyle whatsoever in terms of compensation, hours, women, whatever it is, there's no rock star. It's gonna show up there. But they have to say hiring rock stars now because they have to announce every 17 year old flunky with a GED is a rock star or a hero or a superstar participation trophy.

[Monique Marvez]

Grown up, right?

[Adam Carolla]

Which I don't really understand because when I went to apply for my job at Taco Bell and was denied famously, and go apply for my job at McDonald's that I did get, I did not confuse myself with a rock star or superstar or superhero or anything. I was a loser kid from a loser family. That's why I was applying for a job at McDonald's versus going into my family's lucrative commercial development business.

[Monique Marvez]

They gotta cook everybody into it. Like there's so much positivity in each of these things. They're trying to make it positive.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, I get it. But to me, see, it feels condescending. Number one, it feels ineffective. And also, if you call someone a team member versus a coworker versus an employee, it makes no never mind.

[Monique Marvez]

When I worked at Subway, you're telling me I wasn't a sandwich artist?

[Adam Carolla]

You were not an artist and you were not on a sandwich team. You were just a flavor who needed a job and got paid minimum wage. And I don't like any of it. And I don't like it because I think it satiates or takes the place of something. I want it to sting a little. Like I've told you a million times, I like junior college. I don't like the term community college. That sounds better than it is. I like a little stigma.

[Monique Marvez]

I hear you.

[Adam Carolla]

And I don't like when they do, let's see, I don't like currently unhoused. I like homeless. I don't like. What will we call you? Justice involved or something. There are people, convicts, we call them justice involved citizens or something. Oh, you never heard the convict one?

[Monique Marvez]

Hell no.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, you need that one.

[Monique Marvez]

I need that one in my favorite. I gotta soften it up.

[Adam Carolla]

Yes.

[Monique Marvez]

Oh, yeah, I was involved in the justice system.

[Adam Carolla]

They are called involved. And we do the. You know, I like illegal alien. I don't like undocumented American or undocumented citizen because that Sounds like the undocumented American thing.

[Monique Marvez]

I heard this. This is a strange, like take because it's like, is everybody an American? That sneaks in. Once you're here, you're American. If they need. It's dangerous one.

[Adam Carolla]

I agree. All right, so there was commercials. Commercials. Commercials.

[Monique Marvez]

Dude, the 80s one went hard like, the 80s. I don't know what it was for. I forgot flag football. Flag football. It made me want to get girls to play flag football. That was awesome. I love that commercial we had.

[Adam Carolla]

That was Pete Berg's commercial who was on the show last week. Yeah, yeah. Oh, okay.

[Monique Marvez]

All right.

[Adam Carolla]

First I think we'll do the Nike female commercial. Because now Nike doesn't give a shit about females. They want to sell stuff.

[Monique Marvez]

They spent a lot of sports bras.

[Adam Carolla]

But they do this weird. It's 2025 and we have to keep going back to this. Girls, don't let anyone tell you I have a son and a daughter. They live the same life. They've always lived the same life. There's been no difference in how they live their life. 100%. Nobody's told my daughter, you can't do something. All right, go ahead.

[Monique Marvez]

Sorry.

[Adam Carolla]

We'll play the commercial. It's all virtue signaling.

[Monique Marvez]

I missed this bullshit.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, it's great. It's great.

[Angel Reese]

You can't be demanding. You can't be relentless.

[Adam Carolla]

Hold on a second. I wish someone would inform any woman I've ever been with that she can't be demanding. I don't think she got the message on demanding, but all right. You can't. This thing too. It's like you can't. You can't just shut the Fuck up. It's 2025. We have women in everywhere. Well, the mayor of LA is a woman. I mean, there's just women in charge everywhere. It's not 1947, but all right, here we act like it's 1947 for women and 1961 for blacks. It's not. It's modern times, idiots. Get the fuck. Just get over it and do something. Or Nike, pay the women, sign big contracts. Wnba, start paying them. Start paying them. Nike. If you'd like to make some change. All right, sorry, go ahead. I'm angry.

[Angel Reese]

You can't be demanding. You can't be relentless. You can't put yourself first. So put yourself first.

[Monique Marvez]

You can't be confident.

[Adam Carolla]

Alright, pause. Don't put yourself first. That's not good. It's not good for society. It isn't. It's not good. It makes for a horrible mom Those of us who had moms who put themselves first, that means you're second, bitch, and you're hungry. So putting yourself first. When Nike does the stuff where they go, it's your world. Shut the fuck up with that stuff. It is not your world. Stop putting yourself first. This song, this Led Zeppelin song, shouldn't they have gotten a song by a woman? Yeah, like Belly. I don't know. Even the Pretenders. But not an old dude band who just basically traveled the land banging underage chicks. That's all Led Zeppelin did, was show up in town and bang your daughter. They didn't support women. So sports. But. All right. Sorry. Go ahead. Be confident. You can't challenge. So challenge.

[Monique Marvez]

You can't dominate.

[Angel Reese]

So dominate. You can't flex. So flex. You can't fill a stadium. So fill that stadium.

[Adam Carolla]

You can't be emotional.

[Angel Reese]

So be emotional. You can't take. You can't speak up. Can't be so ambitious. You can't break records.

[Adam Carolla]

You can't have any fun.

[Angel Reese]

You can't make demands. You can't keep score. You can't stand out. Whatever you do, you can't win.

[Adam Carolla]

All right, pause it for a second. I don't know. Don't you feel like the Williams sisters were beating everyone at tennis and taking Wimbledon cups home?

[Monique Marvez]

Yes.

[Adam Carolla]

You can't keep score. You can't win. You can't try. I feel like there's tons of famous women athletes who do all those things and have been doing it for a long time. Billie Jean King was winning tennis tournaments in 1969. Is that. We can't. We won't. We won't let you. Who's not letting you? I don't know. Women's soccer team's done okay for themselves. There's lots of examples. Nike. Nike. It's 2025. Stop it. Stop pandering. And also, you don't believe it. That's the part. That's the part I don't like. And again, I don't know. Look it up. I don't know who's in the booth. Byron, what is the highest paid Nike shoe contract for WNBA player? And then find the highest paid Nike shoe contracts. Probably Jordan, for male basketball player, past or present or whatever. And then I would offer up to Nike, you could help a lot of these ladies by simply paying the WNBA chick. The same shoe contract is what Michael Jordan gets paid.

[Monique Marvez]

They don't get the numbers. It's just the reality of the situation where if the TV viewership is not as high, there's no way they can justify spending that much money on a damn shoe.

[Adam Carolla]

Right. So shut up, Nike. That's what I'm saying. Or you're a multi billion dollar company. You could do it if you wanted, but you don't.

[Monique Marvez]

Yeah, all right, sorry.

[Adam Carolla]

We'll keep playing it. A whole lot of love.

[Angel Reese]

So win.

[Adam Carolla]

You can't win. So when Nike has aired its Super Bowl Commercial, 2023, who told them they can't win? That's.

[Monique Marvez]

Yeah, it's a weird thing that they have to do to sell shoes to women is like, pretend that you guys are totally disadvantaged in this world. Yeah, we have. You have to get awesome by buying Nike.

[Adam Carolla]

I know. It's just. It's so cloying and it's. It's. It's. Again, I'm a broken record. It's 2025. Get the fuck on with it, Nike. Pick another angle.

[Monique Marvez]

I know.

[Adam Carolla]

All right, we'll figure out what these. What is the highest paid female WNBA shoe contract?

[Monique Marvez]

Oh, this is Reiner.

[Adam Carolla]

No, by Nike or Caitlin Clark.

[Monique Marvez]

Now.

[Adam Carolla]

Caitlin Clark now. And by the way, this is two minutes old. They've been not paying people for 20 years. 28 million for Caitlin Clark. Yeah. As of four months ago, though, like, before that it was 200 grand, but it's still less than what the men are getting paid.

[Monique Marvez]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

All right. Then the other commercial, which I can't stand, was the climate change commercial. 1.3 billion for Jordan. So come on, step up, Nike, for the ladies, for Christ's sake. The climate change commercial. So there's all these studies that we're having less kids and we're not keeping up with demand in terms of kids and so on and so forth. And a lot of it makes sense if you're into climate change, because the climate change is basically. In this commercial. They're essentially saying, you're not gonna see your 20th birthday. So why would you have a child if your kid was not gonna make it to their junior year in college? So this one was kind of a bummer too. Also, I don't know. Talk to India and talk to China about climate change. Stop talking to us. We're driving the electric cars. Yeah, all right, sorry. We'll play this one.

[Angel Reese]

As a scientist, I know by the time she takes her first breath, 9 billion more tons of carbon pollution will be in the air. When she takes her first steps, wildfires will have burned millions more acres she could have explored.

[Adam Carolla]

By the time a child born today.

[Angel Reese]

Goes to college, it may be too.

[Adam Carolla]

Late to leave them the world.

[Angel Reese]

We promised Our window to act on climate change is like watching them grow up. We blink and we miss it.

[Adam Carolla]

Hold on, can I say this? Does climate change affect dudes or is it just the ladies?

[Monique Marvez]

That's her.

[Adam Carolla]

Just girls in.

[Monique Marvez]

Yeah, specific. She's burning down rainforests that she can't walk through.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, we could help with the wildfires if we manage a fucking forest. I mean, that would be helpful, but anyway. All right, everyone pull out because we're not gonna be having kids anymore. Because your daughter, by the time she takes her first breath, 200 million tons of carbon would have been released into the atmosphere or whatever. I've been hearing this shit my entire life.

[Monique Marvez]

Whatever happened to peak oil? I thought we were gonna run out of oil. I thought that was gonna happen.

[Adam Carolla]

We're gonna run out of oil, there's gonna be an ice age, the polar caps are gonna melt. Everything was gonna happen over the last. This stuff is not 50 years old, it's 60 years old. And it was all gonna happen and none of it ever happens.

[Monique Marvez]

Good old ecology.

[Adam Carolla]

So go ahead and shit out a kid, would you?

[Monique Marvez]

You're on a bummer today.

[Adam Carolla]

I don't know why they do this. If you're a woman or you're black or you're under the age of 30, you have to just sit and digest all their doom and gloom bullshit until you get depressed enough that you take your own life. I don't get it. I mean, I get what they're doing, they're trying to do. They're trying to make money, that's what they're doing.

[Monique Marvez]

They got a Super bowl ad out there, so they got deep pockets. I didn't even know who that was for.

[Adam Carolla]

That's a weird, well, okay climate. We act like it's, you know, Santa Monica, parts of the West Valley and Malibu who control climate. It's the world. It's a global thing. We only control so much of it. And you're going to have to talk to other. You're going to have to talk to developing nations and get them to cool their jets a little on the coal powered. The coal fired power plants?

[Monique Marvez]

Yeah. They're just dumping carbon up in the air.

[Adam Carolla]

They're doing it.

[Monique Marvez]

Everybody can stop driving gas powered cars here. It wouldn't make a dent because. Doesn't make a dent.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, also, we drive gas powered cars and then we burn the place to the ground every five years and release millions of tons of carbon up in the skies. All right? Then there's the inexplicable Tom Brady, Snoop Dogg, One which is.

[Monique Marvez]

They played a couple times.

[Adam Carolla]

They played this one like three times. I think it's, it's the NFL who decided to turn their attention from ending racism to ending hate. So now we're just supposed to end hate in general. But you know, there's still stuff I hate. You know, I hate passion fruit iced tea. I hate left turn arrows. I hate Kevin Smith like there. I hate stuff. What do you want me to do about it? I don't like it. Or maybe I hate Al Qaeda or Hamas. Is that okay? Or how. Or carbon. Maybe I hate carbon. I don't know. What do you want me to do with it? Now the reason Nike's a huge company and the NFL's huge and these are all big companies and this is all just money, feel good, whatever compensation, there's nothing that can come of it. Just like there's nothing that end racism in the end zone could come of. But there's nothing Snoop Dogg and Tom Brady yelling at each other. There's nothing to do. Now what I'm saying is it's the LA freeway signs. The LA freeway signs say Click it or ticket. Okay? Nobody's clicking their seatbelt. They either put their seatbelt on or they didn't. By that time, by the time they get to that sign in the middle of the Ventura Freeway, it's either on or it's off. No one's being reminded. So zero effect. Now NFL could put in their end zone, change the filter in your air conditioning system and that would be huge. Cuz millions of people would be sitting watching the super bowl and millions of women would go, when do we change that filter last? And then they would go, look at their filter and it would look horrible with cat hair and dander and weird shit in it. And then they would change it and then that would actually, that would be a net positive. This is nothing. This is Click it or ticket.

[Monique Marvez]

But the other end zone. Floss.

[Adam Carolla]

Daily floss. Change your filter. So inflate your car tires. All right, here's. It kind of saddens me, okay, I like Snoop Dogg, but who decided we needed to hear from him 24 7? He's like the black Gronk. It's like he's every. Like Snoop Dogg's fine. Gronk is fine. I don't need to see them. Every time I turn around, one of them is yelling for me to do something.

[Monique Marvez]

Likable guy. No major scandals recently. There you go. He's on TV constantly.

[Adam Carolla]

Yes. All right, so this is them talking about hate. I Hate you because we from different neighborhoods. I hate you because you look different. I hate you because I don't understand. All right, pause.

[Monique Marvez]

I hate you because people I know.

[Adam Carolla]

Just hate because you look different. Snoop. Was Snoop a Crip or a Blood? Because I can't tell him apart because they kind of look the same.

[Monique Marvez]

I believe. Believe he had a blue flag hanging on his backside. Only on the left. Cause that's the Crip side.

[Adam Carolla]

All right, so then he was a Crip and not a Blood.

[Monique Marvez]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

But White America could not tell the difference between a Crip and a Blood. Meaning they look the same to us now. They shoot each other and they kill each other, but they look the same. So this notion. But the hatfields and the McCoys look the same and they kill each other. And I would argue right now, Russians and Ukrainians look the same. Can't tell them apart, but they are killing each other. So this thing where I hate you because you look different than me. I think we have a rich history. During World War II, I couldn't tell the difference between someone who was from Germany and someone who's from Poland in terms of just looking at them. But the Germans knew the difference and they killed the ones from Poland. So I don't think it's right or how you look is what I'm saying.

[Monique Marvez]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

Snoop Dogg was a member of the Rollin 20s Crips gang in Long Beach, California, during his teenage years. However, 1993, he denied being a gang member. Member of a gang. All right, sorry. Well, we shall continue with these two because we hate people because they look different than us. I hate you because we from different neighborhoods.

[Monique Marvez]

I hate you.

[Adam Carolla]

Cause you look different. I hate you. Cause I don't understand you.

[Monique Marvez]

You. I hate you because people I know hate you.

[Adam Carolla]

I hate you because I think you hate me. Cause I need someone to blame. Cause you talk different. Cause you act different. Because you're just different. The reason for hating or stupid as they sound. Man, I hate that things are so bad that we have to do a commercial about it. Me, too.

[Monique Marvez]

They could have hugged, Tom.

[Adam Carolla]

They shut the up.

[Monique Marvez]

They could have hugged.

[Adam Carolla]

Things are so bad. What? I know. You keep saying how bad. I know. Nike tells us how bad things are and Snoop does and the NFL does. Are things so bad. Are you guys just fucking saying everything is bad all the time?

[Monique Marvez]

Gassing us up? Yeah, it's a strange. There was a strange tone of the culture on Super Bowl. It was. The commercials are strange. The halftime was strange. We'll get to that on the news. But, yeah, everything was a weird, dark shell of itself. America.

[Adam Carolla]

I was around in the 90s. People just fucking had a good time. Yeah, it was fine. Black, white, women, whatever. Nobody sat around and talked about hatred and women and sports and it's just. It's a fucking group of aggrieved bellyachers who. They need a victim class in order to rationalize their existence. And it's not their fault. It's corporate America who goes along with all of their shit all the time. It's nice to be in the NFL and everybody.

[Monique Marvez]

I think part of it is economic. A lot of people are economically depressed. And if that gets better, I think the culture will shift again. We'll be a little happier.

[Adam Carolla]

You can be as happy as you want to be, or you can watch TV commercials and be convinced that everyone hates you. And there's carbon everywhere. I mean, they want to talk about climate change and that's all they ever talk about. But I've lived here my entire life. Everything's the same. So I don't know what I want now. I'll tell you what climate change is. I grew up in a house without air conditioning, and that was in the 70s and it fucking sucked. And then I made money and I got air conditioning, so my climate changed. And I used to drive a pickup truck with no air conditioning, and that sucked. And now I have a car with air conditioning. So once again, I changed my climate for the better. And I used to work on job sites that had no air conditioning, and now I work indoors with air conditioning. So I personally changed my climate and it made me much happier.

[Monique Marvez]

Hell, yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

All right. The LA Strong commercial we can't find, which is weird because they aired it, so it's gotta be on some website at least. Maybe it was like a local thing. It's this other thing, too, where we have these pictures of firefighters and cops and stuff, and we go, we're LA Strong. We're not adding anything. LA LA is fractured mess and nobody does anything. There's no LA Strong. You can't just put Strong behind every city name that God shits on and then decide that that's who we are. We didn't really do anything. We had a wildfire. Everyone in LA sat back and watched a place burn to the ground. So you can call it LA Strong now. It's been over a month and I can't go back to my home. So you call it whatever the fuck you want, but I'm not calling that LA Strong. Us hanging around and blaming each Other while everything burned to the ground. It's not La Strong. And now we've designated everything a hazardous waste dump. And I can't go back to my place, so I don't know what part of Strong that is. I know you do commercials in black and white where people have schmutz on their face and they look very earnest and they do a slow motion shot and you get a black chick and you get a white dude and you get a Hispanic chick and then you go, LA Strong. And then we go, yeah. Except for none of those people put out anything and nobody's helping me get back to my home. And I have no goddamn idea what's going on. I don't know if the power's on. I don't know if the water's on. I don't know if the gas is on. I don't know anything. So you can say La Strong, but I don't know if anything's coming out the other end to you. Again, it's more fucking bullshit hero talk. Nothing's coming out the other end.

[Monique Marvez]

Grapes. A rat commercial. And then, you know, black and white. There's nothing else to do. You already did your job.

[Adam Carolla]

So you go to lastrong.com. like a commercial doesn't come up on the Internet or anything. Huh? It's a weird world. I'm sitting down, sitting there watching it on my 100 inch TV set, and now you look for it.

[Monique Marvez]

Is La Strong a charity of some sort? Or what are they trying to do, like, collect donations for who did burn down?

[Adam Carolla]

The part that's always weird to me is the no call to action part. Like Nike.

[Monique Marvez]

That's what I mean.

[Adam Carolla]

Like, what do you want me to do? Like, just get up, Nike, and smack my son across the face and yell at him to sit down? Like, what do you want me to do?

[Monique Marvez]

I know, yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

Shit out another girl and get her into soccer or something. Like, what? What is the plan? Nike. Other than nothing.

[Monique Marvez]

That's a general feeling of malaise.

[Adam Carolla]

Yes. All right, so La Strong doesn't exist.

[Monique Marvez]

Damn. After all that money they spent on the ad.

[Adam Carolla]

I know you.

[Monique Marvez]

You'd think they'd have something up there.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. And there is no. People say to me every other day, when you. When you. When are you going back? I go, I don't know. I go, what's the news? There is no news. I don't know what the news is. It's a year to clean it up. It's, we should be back week. You can go back with an escort. When are they going to turn the power on? I don't know. This is la. Where LA strong. It's modern times. Shouldn't I be able to go to a website and find out when the power's going to be back on?

[Monique Marvez]

Yeah, something. A morsel of information. You're just like out in the clear blue yonder.

[Adam Carolla]

Then it turns out the Pete Berg commercial was a NFL commercial for flag football. Evidently, women are better at football than men. Except we're watching the Super Bowl. How many ladies run? Well, certainly one or two on special teams, right? Yeah. No. Nobody. Well, why? We also. Listen, everybody, as much as you like to feed us this shit all the time, when it doesn't ring true, then it just feels sad, you know? And it feels like you're doing what you're doing. But it's an NFL commercial. Four flag football, dude.

[Monique Marvez]

It's just good filmmaking would make you like anything. So they just said, oh, we get a good filmmaker to make an awesome commercial. And I forgot what it was for. And then you tell me. Flag football.

[Adam Carolla]

Oops. You know how?

[Monique Marvez]

Oh, really?

[Adam Carolla]

The proper pronunciation of flag football. You have to hold your tongue. You have to pinch your tongue. Yeah, that's how it is, right? Just do you pinch your tongue again to pronounce sheet cake properly? Sheet cake. Sheet cake. So flag football and sheet cake, flag football could be more accurately described, huh? All right, the Pete Burke commercial. I like Pete. He's very skillful. But what's the NFL saying? They want us to go petition our high schools to get flag football. They had flag football for girls when I was in high school.

[Monique Marvez]

Oh, they did? Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

Did it every year. They had a game called the Powder Puff.

[Monique Marvez]

Powder puff. I know that one.

[Adam Carolla]

I was a cheerleader.

[Monique Marvez]

Yeah, me too.

[Adam Carolla]

You were a cheerleader?

[Monique Marvez]

Yeah, I was a cheerleader. For the flag football.

[Adam Carolla]

For the flag football. Actually, there was a ton of guys.

[Angel Reese]

Who signed up to be cheerleaders, but by the end of it, no one showed up. So they just made me the mascot.

[Monique Marvez]

That's great.

[Adam Carolla]

We had powder puff. Every once a year. The girls would play, the boys would cheer. We're talking 1981, man. And the girls played flag football and the boys cheered. So I don't know why 45 years later, this is so important. But anyway, turns out there's a woman, and she's a woman of color who turns out to be the best. And then it turns out the doofus dude's a white dude named Brack. It's all nah.

[Monique Marvez]

But it was a throwback to those Old movies, you know, where you had the. I don't know. You were already living the man's life of a carpenter.

[Adam Carolla]

I was living the man's life of a carpenter with no air conditioning. Yeah, yeah. All right. It's just women are better at flag football than guys or something, except for they're not. But it's all part of the dream. Right. But I also, like, there's women's stuff and there's men's stuff and women. You could go, I don't know, cooking. But turns out there's male chefs, and they're actually cooking better than a lot of the women. But there's no such thing as women football players that are actually better than Tyreek.

[Monique Marvez]

They say the women are better at being like fighter pilots because it's a lot of multitasking. It's a lot of compartmentalized. You got to do this. You got to do this, got to do this. Attack helicopters.

[Angel Reese]

I would.

[Adam Carolla]

I would. I will buy all of. All of that. Yeah. Just not football.

[Monique Marvez]

No, but.

[Adam Carolla]

So what I'm saying is it's just limited to the sports and the. But how do you sell all those.

[Monique Marvez]

Overpriced flags, shoes, cleats. You know what I mean? All that equipment. How are you gonna sell all that if you don't have a sweet ass commercial and girls beating boys?

[Adam Carolla]

I'm just saying, it's all so old now. It's all old.

[Monique Marvez]

War of the sex has raged on for millennia.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, they do it. Listen, back when I was talking about Billie Jean King winning her championships in the 60s.

[Monique Marvez]

Yeah, yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

In 74, probably 74. Could have been 72. Early 70s. She played Bobby Riggs in tennis, and it was the biggest event ever. It was male versus female battle of the sexes. And Billie Jean was sort of in her prime, and Bobby Riggs was out of his prime. Older guy. I don't know if he was ever a great tennis player, but I think he was a professional tennis player. But by this time, he old and she beat him. And that was 50 years ago when we got the message. Although, I don't know. And you guys can look it up. When Bobby Riggs played Billie Jean King, I think she may have had the doubles line open on his side of the court and the singles line open on her side of the court, if you know what that is.

[Monique Marvez]

Yeah, yeah. So it's a wider court for him.

[Adam Carolla]

Maybe. Maybe. I don't. I don't. I have a vague memory of that. If that's true, then they shouldn't have done it that way. But she was a professional in her prime. And she beat a guy who was in his late 40s. Maybe at the time. But we did the experiment. It was 50 years ago. We got it. We're good.

[Monique Marvez]

Exhibition match.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, we got a song. They had Helen Reddy. I Am Woman was all laid out. We did it all. I'm woman. Billie Jean King, Bobby Riggs. This is all 50 years plus ago. We're good. Turn the fucking page. Turn. Just turn the page. Get on to problems.

[Monique Marvez]

There's money in it though.

[Adam Carolla]

I know. All right. Shall we do some news I guess is the question. So was the rule the same with Bobby Riggs and Billie Jean King? Did they played singles or was there. Am I making this up or am I right? Was there doubles and a singles thing on either side of the. Either side of the court?

[Monique Marvez]

You're really pushing the abilities of the Google fu back there.

[Adam Carolla]

I know.

[Monique Marvez]

You gotta find. Not only do you gotta dig into something that we never even thought about until this moment, then dig deeper into it to see the exact rules of. That's a lot of Wikipedia in.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. All right. We'll take a break. We'll see if we can find that one. It's gotta be there. If you can't find it then it means I'm making it up. But I think there's something to it. I have a vague memory of it. Take a quick break. Be back with news right after this. Ace. It's almost Valentine's Day, people. Let's give her one she's not gonna forget. That's right.

Here's a beat from Beat it out.

[Adam Carolla]

With Adam Carolla and Jay Moore. You ever watch gang bang porn? Yeah, love it. The guy who's six deep, you know, he's in the six slot. Before he gets to the chick, he's doing that thing where it's like, I'm not jacking off, pinching the helmet. I'm just kind of keep a little blood pinching the helmet.

[Monique Marvez]

That.

[Adam Carolla]

Okay, that is the exact same thing as jogging in place. That's the equivalent. That's the gang bang porn equivalent. Yeah, I know what it is to that. Right? You're not jerking off, but you're keeping your fighter loose.

[Monique Marvez]

Right?

[Adam Carolla]

And you're not running, but your feet are moving. Porn they're all wearing socks, butt naked with boners standing next to other dudes. But I got my black socks on so I don't slip on your map of Hawaii. Subscribe to Beat it Out on [e-mail] substack now back to the Adam Corolla show. By the way, I. I should mention, my poor old pops, who passed away a couple months ago, was from South Philly. And while he never expressed any interest in almost anything, he did sort of root for Philly.

[Monique Marvez]

Oh, wow.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, he was kind of an Eagles guy.

[Monique Marvez]

He's smiling on as they trounced the Chiefs.

[Adam Carolla]

I do recall seeing Philly. I think Dallas spanked them in like Super Bowl 15 or something. Something like that. And I remember going to my uncle Vince's cousin Vince's. Bruno's. I was going to say house, but apartment. My dad didn't know a lot of homeowners. One or two bedroom in Santa Monica. It was a weird thing like, we're going to watch the super bowl with Vince Bruno because Vince had a 19 inch color TV, which would have been a big ticket item for my dad, and probably offered up a bowl of chips or something, and he just sat there. It's not like there. It's not like the beer was flowing or cocktails or there wasn't a fruit platter or anything. We just sat there and drank tap water and ate chips. But it was still a. It was like my dad's version of a Super bowl party. But there weren't. No one was invited and there wasn't anything to eat or anything. While the battle of sexes was highly publicized, a significant event. There were no differences in the court lines for the match between Billie Jean and Bobby Riggs. The match was played under standard rules. Okay. Oh, it was the Raiders that beat the Eagles in Super Bowl 15. Yeah, thanks. I just remember it was a big deal that the Eagles got to the super bowl and they just kind of got spanked and, you know, we just sat there with a bowl of chips and tap water.

[Monique Marvez]

Oh, man.

[Adam Carolla]

Jesus Christ.

[Monique Marvez]

I just see one light bulb hanging above you guys.

[Adam Carolla]

My dad has never been to a Super bowl party. It's crazy. It's all crazy. All right. Anyway, he'd be happy that his Eagles won. That's all I'm saying. What do you got with the news?

[Monique Marvez]

Well, speaking of the Super Bowl, Taylor Swift booed at the super bowl as Donald Trump receives thunderous cheers.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah.

[Monique Marvez]

In a moment that perfectly captured the cultural divide in America, pop icon Taylor Swift faced Boos from a portion of the super bowl crowd while former president Donald Trump received overwhelming cheers. The stark contrast played out in one of the nation's biggest stages, further highlighting the depolarization between entertainment elites and everyday Americans.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, I watched her biopic. I shouldn't say her documentary, and she's kind of a dope politically. She's a dope. She's one of these people that buys into everything. But also now it's hard to tell what she really thinks because everything is sort of a popularity contest. Like, if she was. Like, if Taylor Swift was like, listen, I don't like homos, and I don't think two dudes should get married, she would lose three quarters of her fans immediately. So she's gotta be careful about what she says. All right, we got Trump. We got a clip. I think we've got a clip. That's Trump. They're cheering for Trump. And then we got Taylor Swift booing for Taylor Swift.

[Monique Marvez]

The side eye.

[Adam Carolla]

That was a. That was a bad outing.

[Monique Marvez]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

And then I was saying to everyone at the party, what's Kelsey leaving in? Because he showed up like the bishop Don Magic Wand in full pimp regalia. But can you. Don't you. Don't you have to have a loser outfit understated?

[Monique Marvez]

You know what I mean? Maybe a hoodie.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. Something to escape in.

[Monique Marvez]

Yeah, exactly.

[Adam Carolla]

He's wearing. He's got a gold brooch. He's got lame. He's full wide. He's going full pimp.

[Monique Marvez]

He's old patrol Travolta.

[Adam Carolla]

Right. Saturday night. Right. Did he leave in that outfit? Because I just believe if I'm him after that drubbing and he didn't have a great day in Mahomes, no one had a good day. I would just send some PA up to the stadium loge and buy me some eagle swag sweatpants. Give me some green sweatpants and the eagle swag T shirt, and I'll just wear that shit out. Yeah, I gotta swag your way back out. Can you.

[Monique Marvez]

Definitely not. The after party's pretty bummed out. Oh, this is after he left. Oh, he did rock it.

[Adam Carolla]

All right, first off, Tom Brady is over the goddamn moon. Tom Brady's over the moon because Tom Brady had two things to deal with. One, they were going to. They were doing the Mahomes is better than Brady thing, you know, and if he had won three Super Bowls in a row, then maybe he could have made some claim to it, Right? And this would have been his third and Brady's Never won three in a row. So there would be some argument for Mahomes, but this put an end to that. And Brady's other legacy was always him and Bill Belichick. Is it him? Is it Bill Belichick? It's got to be Bill Belichick. He's the guy. He just plugs new players in in every position and keeps on winning. So Brady's just another cog in the Belichick machine. And then Brady, left, goes to Tampa, wins a Super bowl, and Belichick starts losing almost immediately and is now out as the. Or was out as the head coach of. Of the Patriots. So Brady had two possible threats to his goat legacy. One is Belichick. Boom, nipped in the bud. Next was Mahomes. Three in a row, boom, gone. So he's safe. And there's no way Mahomes is going to ever get three in a row. He could win next year, but it's going to be real slim that he goes another three in a row. You know what I mean? So that's that. So good.

[Monique Marvez]

Calm down.

[Adam Carolla]

Good for Brady.

[Monique Marvez]

I know. Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

That's the problem. That's why he was yelling at Snoop Dogg about hate. He was hating on Mahomes. He was hating on Belichick.

[Monique Marvez]

The way you look.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. Cause you look different than me, man.

[Monique Marvez]

Yeah, it should say that. Swift's representatives not commented on the incident. You know, it's funny. I saw this story the other direction. I saw people saying that Trump got booed at the super bowl, but I didn't see that.

[Adam Carolla]

I didn't. No, she got booed. He didn't. That's his crew.

[Monique Marvez]

Kendrick Lamar performed a Drake diss track, Not Like Us, at Super Bowl 2025 halftime show with one big change. He didn't call the big word pedophile. He didn't say that. He, like, must have.

[Adam Carolla]

I'm like, yeah. Oh, I'm too old for rap. I don't appreciate it. I don't get it. I don't see the artistry in it. But also, when guys do parody songs, they rap. Like when Saturday Night Live does something about rap, the guy raps and he sounds as good as whoever he's parroting, and that's why I don't get it.

[Monique Marvez]

But when you get deep into it, this guy's lyrics are very, like, off kilter compared to normal. Like, Andy Samberg is excellent at making a little jaunty rap, but this guy's, like, twisting syllables and weird, strange directions. If you look at the poetry on the. On the line. I have an appreciation for it because, you know, I kind of grew up with rap. It was like one of those things where that was part of my childhood and I got into it and now you can see rap and then Kendrick Lamar above that, where he's winning Pulitzer Prizes for his poetry.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, yeah. So Ben Shapiro had number one rap song out for a while too. So how important is it? But okay, but also, I do want to see people playing instruments, like, at some point, like at the concert part this. The backtrack to me, doesn't. I just don't want to. I want to see. Well, switch it back and forth every once in a while. Let's get a rock band in there and then, you know, go back.

[Monique Marvez]

Well, one of the only rap groups that, like, would. Did that was very popular. The Roots ended up getting a Jimmy Fallon job. Like the house band. Yeah, kind of did. But Kendrick Lamar, you know, the whole thing was he did this track that just took over the radio. Took over the whole.

[Adam Carolla]

But what. What is with the Drake pedophile thing?

[Monique Marvez]

Well, Drake is kind of, like, infamous for having young girls around the show all the time, and Kendrick kind of exploited that fact. And basically that song that you heard, Not Like Us, they Not Like Us, that song took over this past year, was just all over the radio. Everyone sang it. In fact, Drake is suing his own label for which is also Kendrick Lamar's label. He's suing because they did all the tricks they used to do for Drake, which is by radio play by Spotify. Suggestions. They did all of that for this song, they Not Like Us, which accuses Drake of being a pedophile.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, yeah. I'm reading here that he was texting Millie Bobby Brown.

[Monique Marvez]

Yes. Kind of creepy text like anybody. And he would always have, like, young girls up on stage and sing to them and grind on them. Like, Kendrick Lamar called him out for what they. It's pretty obvious that he's, you know, dancing that weird line of that performers get caught in. It's like, really, really crazy. Really crazy. And the fact that the entire nation. It just took over and everybody was singing it all year has got to sting for Drake.

[Adam Carolla]

What did they do with the Super Bowl? I think I was taking a piss or something when that line. Because everyone's like, is he gonna say it or is he gonna do it? But then the crowd said it.

[Monique Marvez]

Well, he just omitted, like, a lot of the lyrics. You know, he drops a lot of N bombs in there, and he drops a lot of. You know, and he Says the word pedophile. Like, that's the. That's the punchline of this song. You know, he. The punchline of the song, you know, was just taken out. He just let it. Let the crowd say it. And then the real punchline is you're trying to strike a chord, and it's probably a minor, and everybody sings a minor. And he sang that. So everybody got the payoff that they wanted. And, yeah, he really smash Drake into smithereens.

[Adam Carolla]

All right, well, I think we have a clip of that. Let's see. I hear you like I'm young.

[Monique Marvez]

You better ever go to sell black.

[Angel Reese]

One to any that tuck Torment in love.

[Monique Marvez]

Just make sure you hide your little sister from him.

[Adam Carolla]

They tell me Chubb's the only one that get your hand me downs Party at the party Playing with his nose now Baka got a weird case why is he around so. Certified lover boy, Certified pedophile. I'mma do my stuff.

[Angel Reese]

Why you trolling like a.

[Adam Carolla]

Ain't you tired? Trying to strike a chord? And it's probably a minor. They not like us.

[Monique Marvez]

Yeah. So, yeah. And then the. And then right there, that's Serena Williams, who's Crip walking on. On the Super Bowl. Drake's ex girlfriend. Also Drake's ex girlfriend. Scissors. So they were really just. Just spanked them there. Just finished them.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah.

[Monique Marvez]

You know, and because Drake had taken over the radio for 10 years, plus, like, he was just this guy then kind of tried to get gangster for a while, and everybody backlashed on him, and this is the result. Kendrick Lamar came and put him in the grave.

[Adam Carolla]

Is Drake good?

[Monique Marvez]

Drake is this guy who's like a rapper, but like a pop culture, you know what I mean? He's like this pop star. He's been this guy that's taken over the radio for a good long time where he's ubiquitous. Like a Drake song always comes on. It's like just a. You know, I don't know. They took over the space like Debbie Gibson would have inhabited in the 80s.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, so he's good. Like Debbie Gibson. I think we're alone. So now. Is that Debbie Gibson?

[Monique Marvez]

Yes.

[Adam Carolla]

Does Drake do the sing through the Roomba robot thing?

[Monique Marvez]

Sometimes, yeah. But not as.

[Adam Carolla]

I never liked that.

[Monique Marvez]

I know, I know. I'm speaking a foreign language to you. Anytime I talk about this kind of.

[Adam Carolla]

Thing, I'm all, listen, here's what. I don't. Here's my thing. I don't like any sampling of any form, really. You may create all the music you want, but there is no sampling in art. But I would not like comedians who sample other comedians. Jokes get thrown out of the business.

[Monique Marvez]

I see.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. So artists who sample other people's art, you know, it's art. I don't like when people rip off other people's stuff. And so you playing Cashmere in the middle of your song is just you playing Led Zeppelin in the middle of your song or whatever. Whatever it is that we like. It's a riff from the 70s. Like when I think P. Diddy should be incarcerated for that Puff Daddy. Every step you take in a bullshit ripoff police song. Hey, we miss you, brother. That's retarded. That's somebody else's song. That's not your song.

[Monique Marvez]

I know, but there's an art. They have signed off on that.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, I think we're Loan Ounce by Tiffany.

[Monique Marvez]

Oh, whoops. I know Debbie Gibson, too.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, I don't know Debbie Gibson. Yeah, Debbie Gibson had her own hit. I'll think of it. All right. Anyway, I don't appreciate it, but if you create it from whole cloth, I'm with you. But if you're taking other riffs, I'm not with you. Cause that's music that already got created.

[Monique Marvez]

And it's strange that you say that. Cause I like, listen to the Kendrick Lamar last album. There's no overt samples, but you can know. But you can tell that there he is throwing back to kind of Snoop Dogg's old stuff. He's throwing back to old west coast kind of rhythms. So you hear that influence inside the music.

[Adam Carolla]

It's not overtly sound, but yeah, influence is fine. Like. Like, you know, if. If Nate Bargazi says, I was influenced by Jerry Seinfeld and that's why I do the clean stuff or what have you, I go, fine. Good. That running backs are influenced, you know, by other running backs who came before them and MMA fighters and every comedians and everything. So that's all artists, you know, that's fine. It's just when you rip off the riff. See, I don't like that.

[Monique Marvez]

Now there's. The music industry is like, yeah, ripping off the wrist riff. You pay the guy to rip it off. You go, hey, hey, Carolla, I want to lease some of these jokes.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. You know? Yeah. It's also the audience for comedy would be like, we already heard that joke.

[Monique Marvez]

I know. That would be mad.

[Adam Carolla]

That joke from 19. George Carlin did that joke in 74. Like, we don't want to hear that joke. Come up with your own joke. Yeah, all right, sorry. What else?

[Monique Marvez]

No stress. Moving on to some politics. John Fetterman calls out toxic Democratic Party for shaming and scolding. Yeah. In a surprising admission filled Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman openly criticized his own party, describing Democratic brand as toxic due to his habit of shaming and scolding voters. I think we have some video here.

[Adam Carolla]

It's weird that he got so sane after a stroke or.

[Angel Reese]

And after you survived an assassination, you literally were shot in your head and had the presence of mind to respond, you know, fight, fight, fight. I mean, that's a political talent. It's undeniable.

[Adam Carolla]

And also, I never believed that it.

[Angel Reese]

Was about fascism, and for me, that made it difficult.

[Adam Carolla]

Kamala Harris said that he was a fascist. Yeah, well, it's like that's her prerogative.

[Angel Reese]

I mean, but. But it's not a word that I would use because you put a lot.

[Adam Carolla]

Of Democrats, especially in my state, that.

[Angel Reese]

I know, and I happen to love people that are going to vote for Trump and they are not fascist. And also, fascism, that's not a word that regular people, you know, use that, you know, I think people are going to decide who is the candidate that's going to protect and project, you know, my version of the American way of life.

[Adam Carolla]

And that's what happened. Was that the clip? I guess so. Or maybe there's another clip.

[Monique Marvez]

Yeah, it's a different clip.

[Adam Carolla]

That was a different clip, but that was still a decent clip.

[Monique Marvez]

Yeah, it sounds pretty reasonable. Even though he's dressing some Carhartt.

[Adam Carolla]

He'S gonna get fatter. Because when they put the sweat jacket on, you get fatter. You gotta put on. You have to put slacks on. I'll tell you what keeps you from being fat. You put slacks on that have the inner button, the outer button, and the hook. The three.

[Monique Marvez]

Yeah, I know that one.

[Adam Carolla]

And that's when you try to get the inner one. That's when you're sucking it in and pinching and exhaling and that moment when you're trying to get that inner button done, you think, I'm not eating a donut ever. God damn it. Put the fork down. Put the donut down. Not gonna do it. When you're pinching, we put the sweatpants on. You never think that way. Nope, nope.

[Monique Marvez]

They always relax.

[Adam Carolla]

He's wearing basketball trunks and a hoodie, so he's never going to stop being fat.

[Monique Marvez]

Gotta wear tight performance athletic shoes. He's, like, ready to kind of go hang out somewhere. Yeah, it's my video game outfit.

[Adam Carolla]

Yes. All right, well, we'll see. If we have that clip somewhere at some point.

[Monique Marvez]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, no, we got the right clip of Fetterman.

[Monique Marvez]

Oh, great.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. Fetterman's playing it smart. This is the. This is the clip. Why is the Democratic Party viewed as toxic by so many?

[Monique Marvez]

Like, even people inside the party acknowledge that.

[Angel Reese]

I think their. Their primary currency was shaming and scolding and.

[Adam Carolla]

And.

[Angel Reese]

And talking down to people and telling them, hey, I know better than you.

[Adam Carolla]

Or you're dopes or you're a bro.

[Angel Reese]

Or you're ignorant or you know dope, don't you? You know, how can you be this dumb? I can't imagine it.

[Adam Carolla]

Like.

[Angel Reese]

And then, by the way, they're.

[Adam Carolla]

They're fascists.

[Angel Reese]

How can you vote for that? And, you know, when you're in a state like Pennsylvania, like. I know, and I love people that voted for Trump, and they're not fascist.

[Monique Marvez]

Hmm.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. Well, you are. Listen, when you use hyperbole all the time, you run a risk of not being listened to. And you can't just keep saying, well, first off, no one believes you believe what you're saying. So, as I've said, if you have Biden and Biden is saying that Trump's a fascist and we're going to lose our democracy, you don't leave him a love letter in the desk at the Oval Office. You leave a bomb in the Oval Office. Because that's what you did with Hitler. That's what you would do. If you actually believed who this guy was and he was who you said he was, then you wouldn't sit next to him at Jimmy Carter's funeral or laugh it up with him and Barack Obama or whatever. So you guys obviously don't believe this stuff. I mean, Barack Obama, instead of kibitzing with him at Jimmy Carter's funeral, should have brought a steak knife and tried to stab him in the heart. If that's. If you are dealing with a fascist who's going to end our democracy, then you try to assassinate him. You don't hang around and laugh it up with him. So obviously, you people don't believe it, but Trump believed what he was saying about the border or about wars on foreign soils and things like that. And you can agree with him or disagree with him, but that's what he believes, and that's what he does.

[Monique Marvez]

So what do you think Democrats do now? How do they reform? Who comes out of this? Gavin Newsom, bring the thunder and try to run for president? I don't understand how they're gonna recover.

[Adam Carolla]

So I think the Democrats have a fundamental problem, which is their attempt at salvation, salvaging. What their thing is, is to be more sort of like a Republican, you know? So their thing, when they run, they, you know, Kamala Harris said, talked about everything all the time. But then soon as she's running for president, she's like, man, I'm gonna stiffen up that border, and I'm not for transgender sex changes, and I wanna pay for it all. She was gonna put an end to fracking. She was gonna put an end to drilling. Then as soon as she runs for president, she's all for fracking, she's all for drilling. She's all for tough border. She doesn't want prisoners being transgenderized on a company dime inside the penitentiary. All the things she said she was for or against, she completely abandoned. So what is it? Okay, so Democrats run on sort of pie in the sky, Nike commercial. NFL commercial. Yeah. Okay. Women are better, and women are better football than guys. Yeah, we get it. We get it. Nike, you're better. NFL, they're better. Or Nike, women. Women can't compete or keep score, express themselves. All right, all right, all right. Liars. Okay? Nobody believes. No one believes you. Nobody. And you don't believe you. And we know you don't believe you. So what do we do? Well, now we're. Now it's important. So now we have to put people on the field because we're playing in the Super Bowl. We want to win. So ladies off the field. Dudes, come on in. Not. What about one lady on the. No ladies on the field. We're trying to win. Oh, okay. So no ladies on the field. All right. Well, maybe they're not better at football. I don't know. Just call me crazy. So what they do when they want to win election is they have to. Now all the pie in the sky trans shit is out the window. We have to. What do people want? They want cheaper groceries. They want cheaper gas. They want a border that's not porous. Okay? They don't want any leo. Okay? They don't want homeless. Okay? They don't want guys that have been arrested 28 times roaming the subway and pushing grandma onto the tracks. They don't want any of that. All right, Democrats, so act sane for 10 minutes. But your version of sanity is just a sort of version of Republican policy. So now all you're doing is sounding like Republican light. So Kamala Harris went from crazy California Democrat with all the sound bites to basically Sunny D. So Trump was fresh squeezed. OJ Fresh OJ And Then she went from grape soda to like Sunny D. Right? Like, no, no, look at me, I'm orange now I got citrus base. No, look at me. Yeah, I'm not fresh orange juice, but look at me. I could be mist. If you squint, you might think I was orange juice because somebody told her orange juice is popular. And your fucking grape soda shit's not gonna fly. Now, maybe in Crazy People's Republic of California and all your fucking nut job constituency, maybe those idiots will do it. Not after the fire. Pre fire, you can get those idiots to vote with you on any of your for cocktail plans, but after the fire, not so much. But you're gonna. You wanna sell this shit in Pennsylvania, you wanna sell this shit in oil country, you're gonna tell people from Pennsylvania that can't frack go Sunny D. So that's where she becomes Sunny D is she's like, I haven't abandoned any of my core values. But I'm going against everything I said 10 minutes ago. But keep in mind, I was in my mid-50s, so kid fresh out of high school with thoughts and dreams. So they're gonna have to go his route, which is kind of sunny D. But how are you gonna out OJ Orange juice? By doing Sonny D. So what they'll do is they'll kind of go, it's true, he's not orange juice, he is Sonny D, but with a heart, he cares a little bit more about the people. And so maybe they'll sell some version, but they're gonna have to move up. Because when these policies start working, especially people like a border that's closed and they like cheap gas and less skirmishes around the world and stuff, they're not gonna be able to run on trans rights and all the sort of climate hoax change bullshit. They're not gonna be able to run on any of that anymore. So they're gonna have to come up. They're gonna have to be Sonny D.

[Monique Marvez]

Yeah, well stated analogy. I like that. Sonny D. All right, next up, supporters raised nearly $300,000 for Luigi Mangioni's legal defense. And a remarkable show of support backwards to Luigi, the man accused fatally shooting United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson. Nearly 300,000 for his legal.

[Adam Carolla]

Let me tell you how my addled brain works. I'm like, I heard you say this in the next room. And I was like, good. Fuck Blake Lively. Take that bitch down, man. And I was like, good, Good for him. Because I thought it was the other Italian, the other paisan Baldoni. Yeah, because I'm old and there's too many names flying around too fast, you know? No, no. Now, fuck this guy. Jesus Christ.

[Monique Marvez]

Oh, not a big fan of Luigi, huh?

[Adam Carolla]

No, I'm not. I'm not a fan of people that execute people.

[Monique Marvez]

I know, but get why he's like this hero you don't get.

[Adam Carolla]

No, no, I get it. I get it. Listen, these are dumb and partly scary people because these guys will worship at the altar of anyone almost immediately. And I'll think of the guy's name I'm trying to think of. But yeah, I get what they're saying. I get what they're about. I get what they're doing. But. But a guy was gunned down and in cold blood. You can't.

[Monique Marvez]

You can't support a little bit the American way. We have guns here.

[Adam Carolla]

And then.

[Monique Marvez]

So when things don't work out, it's kind of American to, like, you know what I mean, rebel and, like, leave. I. I'm seeing what's happening with this guy is that everyone, you know, if you don't have a lot of money, you're like, you know, chained to this insurance company, and they have everything over your entire life and can ruin your life at the stroke of a pen. This UnitedHealthcare CEO was overseeing AI, like, the company using AI to deny people claim all the time. And this. I don't know how this guy decided to be some weird hero for this martyr for this revolution, but he definitely has been getting a lot of heat on social media in a positive way. And this $300,000 people are voting with their checkbook to this GoFundMe or I.

[Adam Carolla]

Bet you these same. Loved Michael Avenatti 10 minutes ago.

[Monique Marvez]

Who's that? Oh, the lawyer. Yeah, they love Stormy Daniels.

[Angel Reese]

Lawyer.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, they love this guy.

[Monique Marvez]

No, no, what I'm saying is this transcending, like, party.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, listen, whoever runs, like, whatever companies, they're going to make total maximum profit all the time without thinking about the human cost of it always.

[Monique Marvez]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

So that's where we're at. So we're gonna have to restructure the system. Otherwise this is just gonna happen, you know, that's fine. We're mad at insurance companies for not insuring in California, but are they. Are they. What are they doing? Well, they've decided the risk outweighs the reward, so they packed up and they left. So now you can be angry at Allstate or you can try to. To shape the system to get Allstate to do the right thing and incentivize them Is what I'm saying.

[Monique Marvez]

What it kind of seems like is that the majority of American people are unhappy with the health insurance industry. But they. And they've tried to change it, but it doesn't change.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, but so eventually some wacko 3D print gun. The companies are going to maximize their profits no matter what.

[Monique Marvez]

Yeah, but that doesn't matter when you're selling Disney DVDs. It matters when you're life or death.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, but they're gonna. It doesn't matter to you. Or I mean, it matters less. But the company's still. The company. The company's still gonna maximize whatever they can maximize. And I would argue, I'm not. I don't like to argue for regulation and big government or whatever it is, but. But if car companies could sell a version of their car without an airbag and it saved you 1000 bucks and you wanted to do it, you'd sign a release and you just buy a car without an airbag. But the government says, yeah, you got to have an airbag. And so now they all have airbags and it costs more, but they're safer and they are going to work within the system to maximize their profits. Even if it kills granny or it doesn't matter to them. Which you'd like it to matter to them, but it doesn't matter to them. So you're gonna have to revise a system that incentivizes them to do what's right. And I don't know, single parent, I don't really. I'm sort of in between a bunch of stuff. I don't want the government to handle everything. Cause it gets bad. You know what I mean? You don't get what you want. You know, I like insurance, but I have good insurance, so I'm not complaining about it. Other people don't and they have a riff and a beef. I also don't agree with Bernie Sanders. I don't think you have the right to it. You don't really have the right to anything that costs money. You have to kind of contribute, taxes or whatever, pay in and then you can get it. And I don't know. I would, Honestly, I've heard Dr. Drew talk about it a lot. I would. In my world, I would get a panel of Dr. Drews and other people at Boots on the Ground, kind of dealt with insurance companies, what have you. And I would get some insurance company executives or whatever, people had 30 years in the business or whatever it is, and I would put them all and I'd create a panel and I'd go and I'd get people from like, Medicare and Medicaid and what have you. And I'd say, let's try to figure this one out. Like, what's going to be the most effective way to move forward here?

[Monique Marvez]

They've already done that, I think. And what it seems like is that the guy. Those middlemen fight for their job.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, yeah, everyone lobbies. Everyone fights for their job. All the becomes a business. I mean, and it's also insane that the last time I think I went to the emergency room or something, the person came in with the cart and I said, what's that for? Oh, they do a heart checking your heart. And I said, oh, I don't think I need that. You said your heart was something. And I said, no, I never said anything about my heart. They're like, we'll check it real quick. And I was like, oh, you're just going to attack. Gonna push the card in, Tap that on.

[Monique Marvez]

I know you got good insurance. They're gonna order every test and milk that insurance.

[Adam Carolla]

It's kind of the middleman play, right? Look, there's a lot of money. And when there's a lot of money, there's a lot of people getting paid that don't need to get paid. And then there's a bunch of people that get nothing. Cause those guys are getting paid. So I'm all for reform and I'm all for the system. I'm just saying, can't get around. You can't shoot people. And I don't want a bunch of bureaucrats coming up with it. I want to hear from Dr. Drew and I want you to tell me. There's the guys who make the windows in the factory, and then there's the installers. I want to hear from the installer what you're up against, what you're running into, what you would do differently in the manufacturing process because you're installing this shit.

[Monique Marvez]

You're saying, Drew says that that's the way it is. Insurance is insurance.

[Adam Carolla]

Insurance is. First off, you don't get paid to be a doctor anymore. Like, you barely make any money as a physician anymore. Maybe you make money as an insurance executive or an executive at a hospital or something, but Drew's like, for what he does, you don't really get paid insurance, okay? There's a whole bunch of things. You shouldn't have to go see Dr. Drew all the time. You should be able to talk to a nurse or someone who's certified or two years training, you know, in something that you don't have to go to the specialist every. I. First thing, first thing I would do is just take all the stuff that doesn't need a guy who's, who has 13 years experience and give it to the person with two years experience if they can handle this.

[Monique Marvez]

Yeah, yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

You know what I mean?

[Monique Marvez]

Like, like the army or the, you know, military does doctors like that. You gotta a guy who's like a PA sort of physician assistant who handles most of the stuff. You got the clap, here's some medicine, you know, and then somebody, yeah, big time.

[Adam Carolla]

I listen, I would try to streamline shit. I would try to reform shit. I'm just saying I wouldn't leave it up to the companies, the insurance companies or the politicians. I just would have some doctors, I'd have the installers in on the conversation. All right, Monique Marvez, very funny comedian who's been in here before. Yeah, second appearance. She's crushing on dry bar. Got lots of shows coming up, so we'll take a break and we'll bring Monique in right after this.

[Adam Carolla]

Okay.

[Angel Reese]

If you learn nothing else from this show. And the men are not offended. They're delighted. Okay? Because they're like, ah, she understands us.

[Angel Reese]

Yes. I actually had a girl say I Googled myself. Her name was Monique Marquez. And said. And this is what I found because people very commonly mistake my last name, so it was kind of cute. She's like, I'm so glad I found you.

[Adam Carolla]

Dates. And as we discussed off the air, Valentine's Day, that's your.

[Angel Reese]

Yeah, the Yamashiro's thing. Is that new. I've been out here my whole life. I never.

[Angel Reese]

It's like a secret thing. It's J. Davis. It's almost like a speakeasy. The room only holds 85 people. And you never know. Like Tiffany Haddish, Bill Burr. People just show up to try new material because it's just really kind of hip and secret. It is a great. Isn't it? It's a blast.

[Monique Marvez]

Super fun.

Number one, dry bar special last year, I found out December 30th.

[Monique Marvez]

Congrats. That was great.

[Angel Reese]

Crazy.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, I just did a dry bar special, but it hasn't gotten on the other side of the paywall yet. So I don't really know exactly what's going on with it until it gets to the free state. Right. But now, how did they work yours? Mine's been hiding behind the paywall for a number of months now.

[Angel Reese]

It's the weirdest story, Adam. They filmed it two and a half years ago at this point, almost three and a half years ago. And then nothing happened for, like, two plus years.

[Adam Carolla]

So they released it, though.

[Angel Reese]

Right. But what they did was, in the interim, they launched an app. So my original understanding, they had to send me an addendum to my contract. When I filmed, they were just a YouTube channel that was blowing up. Then they bought Angel Studios, and they da, da, da, da. So they sent me an addendum. And to be honest, I'm thinking, oh, the Mormons are gonna figure out how to screw me out of money or something. Which is a terrible thing to think, but, you know, I'm a human being, but I just signed it because I didn't care. And what they do now is totally different. They show a small clip on YouTube, not the whole special, to drive people to the app and you will make money. They've been incredibly generous. I'm so ashamed I ever had that thought.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, they seem, look, if you're gonna trust somebody, you might as well be Mormons.

[Monique Marvez]

But.

[Adam Carolla]

So then it's behind the paywall, for lack of a better term, for a period of time, and then it goes to YouTube, and then it gets shared.

[Angel Reese]

And they share your clips. And the last clip they did of mine, they asked me on Instagram to, like, collaborate. It had 6,500 views within the first minute.

[Adam Carolla]

Wow. That.

[Angel Reese]

They asked me to collaborate. One of them has 16 million. One has, like, every clip of mine they put up just starts ticking. It's crazy.

[Adam Carolla]

So it's been a real game changer for you.

[Angel Reese]

It's changed my life, Adam.

[Adam Carolla]

And you've seen it in terms of ticket sales.

[Angel Reese]

Absolutely. And inquiries. Like, I would have never had a church from Farmington, New Mexico, say, hey, bring it. We want you to talk relationship to our people. I'm so excited.

[Monique Marvez]

It's great.

[Adam Carolla]

How much relationship stuff did you do at the beginning part of your career?

[Angel Reese]

You know, it's really interesting I just met a young woman. I mentioned it when I sent some info named Joying Summers. Yeah, and it's.

[Adam Carolla]

We know her well.

[Angel Reese]

When I started comedy 30 plus years ago, like, I had a rack. I was doing twice a day. I was. I see so much of myself because I was. I was super dirty, you know, et cetera, et cetera. And over time, you just start to understand that the closer you care about what you're saying, the better it's going to come across. So as my marriage has failed and I just started talking about it, and in 2000, I broke up with a man who I only refer to now as Dog of Satan. And that was the turning point, because people could really relate to the fact that, hey, it is not easy. Everything's easy when you're young and hot and having tons of sex. Then you hit this moment in your life where you're like, I equate it to the rocket. Like, the rocket thrust work. And then like, that piece falls off and it's kind of drifting. I never made it past thrust until I was in my early 40s. I could lie to you, but you're such nice people. And that's not what I do anyway. But I did not know how to sustain an adult relationship once it became past the fun part.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. Well, you said, I think he had a husband that cheated, Right?

[Angel Reese]

My first husband. Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

He cheated with him and then died.

[Angel Reese]

Yeah, he did die after that. Wow, you have a great memory. I'm flattered.

[Adam Carolla]

No, I do have a sporadic memory. You do have a weird memory.

[Angel Reese]

Yeah. He died long after we were divorced. I actually visited him in the hospital, and the nurses were astounded that I was so nice and cool and sad, you know, because he cheated with a woman named Melissa Ives. I'm allowed to say it. I cleared it with my lawyer. It happened, so she can't sue me.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, it happened, so she can't sue you.

[Angel Reese]

She can't sue me. It's a true fact. She can't say that never happened. I got proof. But that being said, what I tell young women now is perspective and time change everything. Sometimes the thing you think was the worst thing that ever happened to you was the best. And social media shows that. Now I look up some of my old boyfriends. I dodged a bullet, bro. Some of them were like, wow.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. You don't want them to do better once they leave?

[Angel Reese]

I just don't. I want them to do whatever they're gonna do over there. Like the end of Fiddler on the Roof is There. A blessing for the czar.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah.

[Angel Reese]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

If I was a rich man.

[Monique Marvez]

I've.

[Adam Carolla]

Seen that movie in a million years.

[Angel Reese]

It's hard to believe a movie like 3 hours and change won so many. I saw it as a child. It had an intermission.

[Adam Carolla]

Really?

[Angel Reese]

An intermission. Like there used to be movies with intermissions.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, yeah, yeah. Well, you grew up in Miami, right?

[Angel Reese]

I did. I did. I said the capital of Cuba.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. It doesn't feel like Fiddler Country.

[Angel Reese]

Miami.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah.

[Angel Reese]

Hello. That's the biggest Jewish community outside.

[Adam Carolla]

I thought it was Boca Raton.

[Angel Reese]

Well, they started in Miami and moved north when my people infested the place like bedbugs.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. Like I said, I think Boca, which I was just at, but I wouldn't. Miami, I think, is newer and younger.

[Angel Reese]

Miami Beach. Yeah. Now, but Miami beach, when I was a child, I mean, Topol probably lived there.

[Monique Marvez]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, Topol. And. Oh, God. Who was the actor?

[Angel Reese]

The guy from Starsky and Hutch was on it as a very young man.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, the Captain. Not the Captain, but. Oh, Paul Michael Glaser.

[Angel Reese]

Something like that.

[Adam Carolla]

Yes.

[Angel Reese]

Yeah, he was on there.

[Adam Carolla]

His wife died of aids.

[Angel Reese]

Something like that.

[Adam Carolla]

That's crazy, right? It's just, I think through a blood transfusion or something.

[Angel Reese]

So many in the early. Because I started in the gay bars of south beach and so many people in the. Like Mr. Chow's ex wife, Mr. Chao.

[Adam Carolla]

Mrs. Chow.

[Angel Reese]

The original Mrs. Chow. Not the one now.

[Adam Carolla]

Wow.

[Angel Reese]

Not the Chow now. The old Chow.

[Adam Carolla]

Old Chow, not new Chow. So she must have got. These are from blood transfusions, right?

[Angel Reese]

Yeah, there were all kinds of. Don't you remember? There was a dentist in Florida, like Kimberly Bergalos. Like, you know, there's just things that happened then that were so sketch and weird.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, I agree. There was that kid who got it. They didn't want to let him back in school. He got it from a transfusion? Yep.

[Angel Reese]

And Elton John went and helped him out.

[Adam Carolla]

That's right. Elton showed up.

[Angel Reese]

Yeah. I have one of those weird memories, too. It's not Mary Lou Henner, but it's funky. I think his name was Ryan white. I'm not 100% sure, but it would blow my mind.

[Adam Carolla]

It was Ryan White.

[Angel Reese]

So you do have.

[Adam Carolla]

You have that kind of marriage? No, I. Well, okay. I was in. One of the founding members of the Acme comedy troupe that I was in many, many years ago was named Bob Petrella. And Bob Petrella had the Mary Louis Henner memory. Henner. I was gonna say Retton, but that's another memory. Yeah. Has the memory where they memorize every day. And it's a process. It's kind of weird because I used to do it with Bob back before we thought it was a big deal, you know? But I'd say to him, like, six years on, I'd be like, bob, what day did I show up at Acme Theater? Like, what was my first day? And he'd go, it was Monday. It was Monday. Because the Steelers were playing on Monday Night Football.

[Angel Reese]

I do that.

[Adam Carolla]

I do that. They played Cincinnati Monday Night Football. That money would have been the same. And my dad's birthday was Friday before. So I remember my dad turned 71. And he'd just shout it out. He'd say, here's the date. Here's the date. It wouldn't take him as long as I just said. On anything at any time.

[Angel Reese]

Stream of association.

[Adam Carolla]

Any date, any time, you just bring it up. When did you show up here first? When did you do this? When did I do that? He'll tell you. And Mary Lou will tell you, too. And when they did this like, 60 minutes piece on her, Bob was in this.

[Angel Reese]

That's funny thing.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. Too. Was this a nice guy? He was like a friend, but it was a novelty. We sort of would make fun of it. Like, hey, Bob, what'd I eat for breakfast?

[Angel Reese]

I got from my friend. They're like, what was I wearing the first time you met me? I'm like a green dress with no sleeves. Why? I'm like that.

[Adam Carolla]

And it's good for comedy, right?

[Angel Reese]

Absolutely.

[Adam Carolla]

Because you get references and stuff like that. Right. And it helps you versus others who get no references because they have no memory of stuff. Or they don't. It's not really. I don't think it's a. It's not about memory. They don't care about stuff.

[Angel Reese]

It's about focus. One of the things I admire about you is that you're very focused on the things that are important to you. When you want to talk about something, you drill it down tight. You drill it down.

[Monique Marvez]

Focused.

[Angel Reese]

You drill it down.

[Monique Marvez]

You're underselling it. Hyper focused.

[Angel Reese]

But I admire that because so many people don't commit, and especially in the world we live in now, they're afraid to commit. I have friends that are completely ideologically different than me, but I adore them and I love their commitment. That's the thing I admire and respect.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. Although commitment without a plan I don't like. You know, it's a weird. I'm surprised at how Many people have, like. They're like a 10 in the commitment department and a one and a half in the plan department.

[Angel Reese]

Well, they have limited knowledge. They commit to a bumper sticker. They commit to a phrase. They commit to something their friend posted, and they have no field of knowledge of what that really means. Like, when I was on KFI on Saturday nights and.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, that's right.

[Angel Reese]

I did morning drive, afternoon, you know, and when I was on kfi, I would talk about how nothing happens in a vacuum and what I would do. I only got, like, two or three stories a night. And I would dissect that.

[Adam Carolla]

Yes.

[Angel Reese]

Because I would go back and say, look, this happened with Martha Jane Moxley and Skakel and blah, blah, and people. And you have to. There's. Everything that happens today has DNA.

[Adam Carolla]

Skakel, by the way.

[Angel Reese]

Skakel. Thank you. I just like that. It sounds more like skank, you know.

[Adam Carolla]

But we're talking about the Kennedy thing and that she got killed and.

[Monique Marvez]

Yeah.

[Angel Reese]

Yes. Every single thing has DNA that happens today. Like, event. Like, there was Bill Cosby before Bill Cosby, a guy named Vince Champ who was a serial comedian, rapist.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, really?

[Angel Reese]

Oh, absolutely. This is the greatest story. This guy, Vince Champ, and this was before social media. This guy would find women alone in rehearsal spaces. He would go to colleges and find girls that were, like, alone in a studio, a rehearsal, whatever, and raped them, attack them. And then he'd whisper in their ear, pray for me.

[Adam Carolla]

Wow.

[Angel Reese]

And one night, he was on the radio promoting an event, and a girl that had been molested recognized his voice, and they tracked these unrelated rapes to his tour schedule.

[Adam Carolla]

Wow. By the way, Monique's gonna be at off the Hook Comedy Cellar, Las Vegas. Kimmel's club.

[Angel Reese]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

June 13th time ever as well. Just talking about comedy schedule. Hermosa beach comedy. So I've never heard about this.

[Angel Reese]

And he's got a brick at Hermosa Comedy and Magic Club. Like, he signed it.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, really?

[Angel Reese]

And nobody. Like, you just.

[Monique Marvez]

Nobody chipped it away.

[Angel Reese]

Yeah. Nobody goes like, oh, my God, that's Vince Champ. Because they don't, you know.

[Adam Carolla]

Wow. I wonder if that story made it out here. What was that?

[Angel Reese]

It had. I think they caught him here.

[Adam Carolla]

They caught him out here.

[Angel Reese]

I'm pretty sure they caught him.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, look up that Vince.

[Monique Marvez]

Yeah. I never heard that lore.

[Adam Carolla]

What was that?

[Angel Reese]

It was in the 90s. Early. I want to say early 90s.

[Monique Marvez]

Jeez.

[Adam Carolla]

All right. So. Yeah. So everything just sort of repeats itself. Well, there's.

[Angel Reese]

There's DNA. It's like it doesn't happen. Like, Robert Durst didn't just auto just accidentally shoot his best. You know, like he was like killing dogs.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, yeah.

[Angel Reese]

He had Igor 1, Igor 2. Like, come on.

[Adam Carolla]

No, I totally agree. I mean, I would liken it. The example I always use is if you go on a first date with a woman, and let's say I come to your home, I knock on the door and you go, oh, Adam, just come on in. Come on. And I'm just getting something out of the bathroom. Just hang out for a second. And I go, okay. And I just stand in the living room. And then you got a little dog. And the dog comes sniffing around like dogs do. If you're in the bathroom and you're getting something and you see in the bathroom mirror, you see me kick the dog, then it's over. Correct. Now, you could say Adam hates labradoodles. But it's not that. You're taking a snapshot of me.

[Angel Reese]

Correct.

[Adam Carolla]

You're saying, who is this guy? Who is he at his core? Now when you come out of the bathroom, I go, oh, your dog's so cute. Boy, I wish I had one. But you saw what I did. Amen. And you know who I am. Yes, right. Immediately. And it's deal breaking. And it should be because we don't need. I feel that way when I see someone litter. When I see them just throw shit out the window of their car, I'm like, I know. I don't like that person. I go, well, maybe they just don't like rappers from Wendy's. It's like, no, no. Overall, that is a selfish and bad person. I would not be able to be friends with that person.

[Angel Reese]

I've chased people down. I had somebody one time open a door at a stoplight and just drop a bag of garbage at the stoplight.

[Adam Carolla]

Really?

[Angel Reese]

And I chased him again. I'm not that person. But I was that day.

[Adam Carolla]

In 1997, Champ was identified as a serial rapist when his DNA and tour schedule were matched up with a serial rapist. College campuses. Arrested May 7th in Hollywood, California. Is still in prison.

[Angel Reese]

You think he got a long sentence? It was a lot of girls.

[Adam Carolla]

So back to stuff.

[Angel Reese]

Yes, sir.

[Adam Carolla]

So like I remember years, some years ago, he got a 56 year sentence.

[Monique Marvez]

Still out there.

[Adam Carolla]

I don't know if he's still alive. I don't know if he's still in prison. I must be still in prison. I mean, although you can get a 56 year prison sentence, get out in 20 years. But when I heard Joe Biden lying about his education when he said he had a scholarship and he was at the top of his class and he's the only student to get three degrees and three majors and three whatever. And it turns out he was at the bottom of his class. He never got the scholarship and he didn't get three degrees. I was like, something's wrong with that guy. Something's wrong. And then people go, politician. You know, it's like, no, no, he was being filmed. And I would say stuff I said to Dr. Drew, would you ever lie about your training or how many degrees you had or how many. What your majors were or anything? And he'd go, no, it's not thinkable. You know what I mean?

[Angel Reese]

And it's too easy now to trace.

[Adam Carolla]

Well now back then, back then they still did it. But it's whatever, but. But it was like, ah, that was from 1987. I was like, that is a horribly flawed lying human being. And then so later on he's like, I've never talked to my son once about any business. I'm like, okay, liar, keep going. And then later on it's like, I would never pardon anybody in my family. Okay, I just pardoned. Okay, he's just a liar then. But I knew it from 1987. I don't get that to me was your kicking the dog moment. I saw what you did. That's insane. Champ. Still, I think we should put his name on here so I don't have to keep calling him whatever his name.

[Angel Reese]

Champ, Vince.

[Adam Carolla]

Champ. Vince, Champ. Still alive. Six, seven years young.

[Angel Reese]

Wow. And he was a young comic. I mean, back in the day, you know.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, yeah, I mean, this is in the later 90s.

[Angel Reese]

And he did it for a long time before he got caught. They had a hard time because they were one offs. He didn't live there. He was a tourist. It's like almost a perfect crime, you know, he would find isolated girls, you.

[Adam Carolla]

Know, So I think we have the Biden. We'll find the Biden decrease thing. It is so what's interesting to me is this is sociopathic behavior that Biden engaged in, but so is littering, and so is kicking the dog. But I don't see this person as an isolated litterer. Just like I don't see this person as isolated dog kicker. I see them as a horribly flawed individual.

[Angel Reese]

All right, I'm not gonna disagree with you.

[Adam Carolla]

We'll play the Biden degrees thing just cuz it's comical. And it's also comical back when the news would do the news. Like they'll go ahead and say whatever Biden did, they're not covering for Biden anymore. Or they weren't back then. Explaining to do the new questions stem from taped remarks of Biden during an April campaign appearance in New Hampshire? I went to law school on a full academic scholarship. The only one in my. In my class to have a full academic scholarship. Went back to law school and in fact, ended up in the top half of my class. I was the outstanding student in the political science department. At the end of my year, I graduated with three degrees from undergraduate school and 165 credits. Only 123 credits. Biden now concedes he did not graduate.

[Angel Reese]

In the top half of his law.

[Adam Carolla]

School class, that he does not have three degrees from college, and that he was not named outstanding political science student in college. Newsweek says Biden actually went to school on a half scholarship, ended up near the bottom of his class, and won only one degree, not three. Joe Biden ranked 76th in a class.

[Monique Marvez]

Of 85 at the university.

[Adam Carolla]

She's a liar. Like, I'm a sociopathic liar. He said this when he was an adult. He was in his 40s or 50s.

[Angel Reese]

I'm gonna bring something to the table that you probably already know. There was a movie called Foxcatcher.

[Monique Marvez]

Oh, yeah.

[Angel Reese]

And I'm gonna tie it all together for you.

[Adam Carolla]

Please.

[Angel Reese]

There was a movie called Foxcatcher, and I'm always fascinated by. Even, like, when F. Scott Fitzgerald was like, beware of the super rich. They're not like you and I. So this guy shot a wrestler because he was having some kind of homoerotic thing. Carroll could not have been more amazing in it. Steve Carell, he was amazing in it. Right? So I googled how many Duponts have committed a felony. I was just curious. Guess what? 2. And the other one was under when. Beau Biden, I'm sure you guys know this, was the DA for the state of Delaware. And he was a molester who, under deposition, had admitted that he had started molesting his second child. He was under deposition for molesting his first child. And it admitted. And there was some sort of agreement between the judge and the DA Beau Biden, that he couldn't serve time because he wouldn't do well in prison based on mitigating factors. Nobody does well in prison. But I told this to a friend because, unlike you, I don't discuss politics in public. I'm like a 30,000 foot person. But like you say, when I see the dog get kicked, I Was like, okay, the DA of the state has this guy dead to rights as a molester and he doesn't go to prison for the rest of his life. And the judge of course, was involved. But you can have your guy google this like Vince Champ. And you just google Dupont Beau Biden and see what comes up.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, I hate to correct you, but according to Joe, Beau Biden died in Iraq. So he never made it back here. Cuz whenever he talks to Gold Star family, he explains that his son was also killed in battle too. Except he died years later after coming.

[Angel Reese]

Back of brain cancer.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, but then he connected it. It's funny because Beau Biden is more Joe Biden lying to people about his death and how he contracted cancer. And this, that. The thing about Joe Biden is he was a serial liar, which all politicians do. But he was running on being a straight shooting back to normal sort of Uncle Joe thing. And then he turned out to be a serial liar, which is part of the problem. But is Champ paroled yet? Because this is California. I'm asking my people. Sorry. Cause we got an opening for Wednesday. If he's out, I mean, obviously I'm gonna. I'm. No softballs. You know, I'm gonna ask him the tough stuff. But plugs, he'll get plugs, you know.

[Angel Reese]

Because I don't think he has dates coming up. He's booked.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, okay. Well, let's get him some dates. I agree with you. Because this is California. I mean, it's been 25 plus years. We let people out here, you know, they get paroled or they are decent, you know, maybe he.

[Angel Reese]

Except Manson. Manson died in prison.

[Adam Carolla]

Manson died in prison. But Manson would do his parole hearings every seven years. And poor Sharon Tate's mom had to come and stare at him and then hear what he had to say. So he always had. They always showed up first. I would be bad as Mrs. Tate because I'd be like, he's not there. We don't have to fly. We're in Indiana. You know what I mean? We don't have to charter, we don't have to catch a flight. They're not going to let him out, you know, but she would go every year and he would have his parole hearings, I guess every seven years. So is Champ paroled now? We're gonna have to see. Cause if the thing is 97, I mean, we're coming up to 30 years still in prison.

[Monique Marvez]

And has he worked on a tight five yet?

[Angel Reese]

He's gonna have material when he comes out.

[Adam Carolla]

That's nightmare. Oh, my gosh.

[Angel Reese]

He'll be unstoppable.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, my gosh. Is he gonna have material. Oh, man. Still in. All right.

[Angel Reese]

He'll be on a show like Sons of Anarchy or something. You know what I mean? They'll find a place for him.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, I saw Mark Garagos the other a couple days ago. I wonder if the Menendez boys are gonna be champ out of the joint.

[Angel Reese]

Oh, probably.

[Adam Carolla]

I think so. Yeah.

[Angel Reese]

Well, I mean, they've got Kim Kardashian rooting for them now. Yeah. I mean, one of them's gonna get out and marry any of the sisters single at this point.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, yeah. No.

[Angel Reese]

That would be a heck of a spinoff.

[Adam Carolla]

Champs in Nebraska is in a Nebraska state penitentiary. They're probably.

[Angel Reese]

He's never coming out now.

[Adam Carolla]

He's never coming out.

[Angel Reese]

He's never coming out.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, so maybe he got busted here, but somewhere along his travels, they have to go back to that state where that crime was committed. Right.

[Angel Reese]

I'm guessing he probably.

[Adam Carolla]

Nebraska.

[Angel Reese]

Probably his most heinous was Nebraska.

[Adam Carolla]

Wow. And young, too, which is weird.

[Angel Reese]

And attractive. Again, not that we've always heard it's about power and violence and not sex, but this guy was. Look, you and I both know very unattractive headliners that get legged. Cause they're funny.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, yeah. Jeff Ross, sure. Yeah. This transcends whether you can get with someone willingly because you're funny, you're headliner, you're on the road, whatever. It's gonna happen. I mean, it's not gonna be about that. It's about something else.

[Angel Reese]

Absolutely.

[Adam Carolla]

But you would say the same with Bill Cosby. Like, it's not about that. You know what I mean?

[Angel Reese]

Exactly.

[Monique Marvez]

It's weird. It's like you develop a weird kink, and then it never. You can. You got to be very careful what kink that you feed into, because if suddenly you get a kink for her, saying no, then you. Now you're chasing. Oh, it's really creepy.

[Angel Reese]

Well, the perfect example. I used to have a bit, because everything I, you know, goes into about George Michael, because George Michael was arguably number one. He was the number one pop star on the planet in 19. You know, he sold more records than Michael Jackson one year in the 80s, won a ton of Grammys. Physically, beyond beautiful. And for that guy to be caught in Will Rogers State Park. Now, granted, Will Rogers theme was, I never met a man I didn't like. But still.

[Adam Carolla]

That's right.

[Angel Reese]

But still.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. No, the idea that you would be in a. First off you want to spend as little time as possible in a park bathroom. Like my mission. I go in there like a Navy seal. I'm, like, pointing my watch. I'm doing the look thing. In and out, in and out, 30 seconds, in and out. It's like a heist movie. You know what I mean? I'm trying to figure out a way to shit and wash my hands at the same time, just to shave precious seconds. The idea that you would hang out, you know, would bivouac in there, in the men's part of the park bathroom, that's already suggests that. Something astray, you know, mentally. And then the notion of, like, rando gay sex with dudes at the park, you know, it all seems very unappetizing to me. Right.

[Angel Reese]

I run around the Rose bowl in Pasadena.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, you do?

[Angel Reese]

I do. I just signed up for my first half marathon since COVID Really? I'm excited about it.

[Adam Carolla]

Really?

[Angel Reese]

Yes. And I have to circle back to something you said. Remember? First time I was here. You have a good memory, maybe, where I said that. I saw you at the Ice House, and you inspired a joke by something you said. And I always say, I saw this famous comedian whose name I'm not gonna mention, Adam Carolla. It gets a huge laugh. And then I quote your joke. I give you credit. And then I tagged it.

[Adam Carolla]

Please tell me.

[Angel Reese]

Okay, so here it is. You were at the Ice House. I was there with Jeff Leach. Mm. You didn't see my set. You got in late, and I watched yours. And you said. Said when you get to be a certain age, there's things that you know you're not going to do again.

[Adam Carolla]

Yes.

[Angel Reese]

Like. Yeah. And then you mentioned 69, and I went on after you. I'll keep it in the county lines. Don't worry. I know who your listenership is. And I said. I said, you know, I do a lot of yoga. I really. I said, adam's actually younger than me, but now that he mentioned it, that's something that I'm going to look forward to again. It hasn't happened in a minute, but. But how do you get a picture of that to put on your vision board without getting something weird happen to your computer? And I went on and on about how I wanted to manifest it, how I was gonna put it on my Pinterest, you know, et cetera, et cetera, and it gets a huge laugh. And I quote you and tag you. I get this.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, thank you.

[Angel Reese]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

And that led to the half marathon.

[Angel Reese]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

I'm not sure how. Well, because Ice House is in Pasadena.

[Angel Reese]

Cause I'm fighting the good fight. And I said to the Ice House, it was a string of associations because there's public bathrooms and when you're running, you know, three miles, six miles, nine miles, it's a three mile loop. Inevitably you have to go into the public bathroom. And even the one in Pasadena, even the one by the Rose Bowl.

[Monique Marvez]

Yeah, but how hot are the dudes in it?

[Angel Reese]

In the ladies one? Not at all. But I haven't been in a minute, so it could be chock a block full of them.

[Adam Carolla]

Robert Richards, I think, I think was the Dupont maybe we were talking about.

[Monique Marvez]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

And he raped his three year old daughter. Which again, there's a certain point where you're broken to the point where you sort of. In my world, you have to put down dogs every once in a while because they just can't stop biting people. You know what I mean? And if having sex with your 3 year old daughter, you should be put down and maybe for your own good, like maybe you don't wanna. Maybe you're suggesting I don't wanna be here. I think that's who you are.

[Angel Reese]

I think that's what it is. I think it's an unconscious way of saying I'm out of control. You know the old stop me before I kill again. Because he admitted on his deposition that he had now started molesting the. Nobody asked Stephen. Nobody said like, hey, by the way, is this where it ended? Nobody said that to him.

[Adam Carolla]

Right? Yeah, it kept going. It's interesting when people volunteer information. Like Fani Willis, the DA was trying to go after Trump and she was getting pressed. They're like, and so you went on wine tasting tours, expensive wine tasting tours. And she goes, yeah, but I'm not really much of a fan of wine. And then she paused and she goes, I like vodka. It's like, hey, baby, you don't need to yell that part out. You just go, not a big wine person. We're trying to keep some decorum here. You didn't have to yell your vodka person. You could just not like wine.

[Angel Reese]

Well, I believe that sweat, you know, has truth in it. Like it comes out of your pores if you try to fight it. So it's a weird thing, the truth. Like I've been on dates and people feel the need. Cause maybe I'm so open that it's. That makes something happen in the atmosphere. They'll tell me whatever they did within the like, look, I did time. I can't tell you how many people Now I look at men, I go, it's not a question of whether you're on probation. It's what for, you know, because it's crazy.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, well, cruising the prison bus stop is probably not a way to find eligible single man.

[Angel Reese]

Can I tell you, in the entertainment industry, lots of people have dui. You know, it's just.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, yeah.

[Monique Marvez]

I have the overwhelming urge to tell you, I just got out of Chino.

[Angel Reese]

Yeah. I'm only gonna date. And even civilians, you know, I've said I'm not gonna do anybody else in our industry, but even civilians, non California industry people, you know, they got hitches in their. Giddy up.

[Adam Carolla]

Are you looking for older, younger?

[Angel Reese]

I would love an age. I know men don't have age. Age appropriate. They have prison. No prison. But I would love an age appropriate man. Because this is what I say for women, it's a. It's mental. It's about intimacy. Men love dating young, beautiful women because it's a different dynamic. It's an extension of what you've created in your life. For me, when you date much younger men, it turns into a history lesson. You always have to explain everything to them. So I would. I say that when I'm on a date, I'm going to look them dead in the eye and say, my name is Inigo Montoya, and if the guy says, you killed my father, prepare to die. That's my guy. Like, we're going.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, also, you happen to be, you know, have a steel trap for brains who you remember lots of detail. And so then you shall be frustrated at guys that don't, you know. So you're kind of up against at times too, because you, the younger guys, doesn't remember stuff. But you could have dated me as a young, if I was young, and I still would remember a lot of references and things like that just because I collected that stuff. We have Fani Willis, I think, in her Georgia Da when she was put up talking about vodka, which is a funny one. We'll watch it. I think we have it it or we don't have it. Or we do have it. Yeah, here she is.

[Angel Reese]

Much less cash that time. Probably four or five hundred dollars. And then I paid for a bunch of stuff. I think we did two different wine tours that you do, which are pretty expensive, I think I bought him. He likes wine. I don't really like wine, to be honest with you. I like Grey Goose. I bought him a bottle of wine while we were there.

[Adam Carolla]

All right.

[Angel Reese]

And the sipping.

[Adam Carolla]

What I'm saying is at this point, you just go, he like wine. I'm not much of a drinker. And then we go, oh, okay. She seems, like, classy, but she likes the harder stuff.

[Angel Reese]

And the brand Gray Goose, which means. Yeah, that's like. I'm always leery of people. I don't. I'm not a drinker, and I come from a family of freaks, and I'm just careful that way. I was. Because people always think you started and then stopped. Like, they don't know what to do with a person who just said, no. I just. That's just not my. My thing. So when I. When I do order, because I'm not AA or anything, you know, it's one of those nights, I'll be like, I would like a diet Coke with some rum in it. Some guy looked at me, goes, you're not a drinker, are you? I'm like, no. He goes, nobody orders a drink like that. When people go up with, like, the. Like a surgeon, like, kettle, one vodka. No, hold the fruit. I'm like, whoa, Those people scare me.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. Yeah. They get very specific.

[Angel Reese]

Yeah. One ice cube hold, you know.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, a lot of them are blowhards, and they're talking about stuff that. I had a blowhard buddy who did the kettle one. Bruised, not shaken.

[Monique Marvez]

What the hell?

[Adam Carolla]

Bruising. They're guys who got martini orders. And I got so tired of this guy with this specific martini bullshit and his jack off buddy who had it as well. We're at an airport, like, in lax, and I just said, daniel, I'm gonna order us three shots of vodka. And you say, you need Stolli or whatever. I'll give you a hundred bucks if you can tell me which is in what glass. You know what I mean? I'm gonna get Smirnoff, the cheapest. I'll get the most expensive. We'll get the one you think, you know, I'll have this guy. And he just went. He just looked at me and went, I can't do it. I went, I didn't think so. So shut the fuck up. Next time we get a martini, would you. You know what I mean?

[Angel Reese]

There's something I tell people that when they want to impress me. I'm like, don't spend money. I don't know the difference.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. Over shaken. You take a martini and you shake it 23 times, it's fine. But you do it 26 times, you.

[Angel Reese]

Bruise, it's over shaken.

[Adam Carolla]

I don't. These are first world, don't really exist problems. These are what we do. You know, women have their version of it about, I'm sure they eat this, they feel that way, then they eat that, I avoid that way. And it's all just talk. And it doesn't really exist in places that have actual problems. So we don't have problems. So we sort of create problems. And that's our new world order.

[Angel Reese]

I have a friend who shall remain nameless, who bought a very expensive French bulldog from a breeder. And I'm convinced it's because she doesn't have children and she projects so much stuff onto this dog.

[Adam Carolla]

Yes.

[Angel Reese]

And, you know, I got a mutt that I rescued. She goes to the vet once a year for shots. She gets her teeth cleaned. End of story. Right. She gets a cough, I keep her warm. You know what I mean? Like, it's not. I gotta take my dog to the vet because she was not looking good. Her nose was a little warm. It's a dog.

[Adam Carolla]

No, they project. And actually, Dr. Drew told me this years ago. He said his wife was sort of that way. And then they had triplets and the dog was out. She just took all her shit and got it.

[Angel Reese]

And then she was kicking the dog. You saw it in the bathroom.

[Adam Carolla]

Energy that went to the dog, now you got. And that's a real world thing. And you gotta deal with it, you know, and that's how it works. And, yeah, so there's a lot of that. I also notice women sometimes when they're mean, they're saccharine, sweet to the dog. It's like, it's some sort of compensation, like a Leona Helmsley, Marge Schott type situation.

[Monique Marvez]

Marge Schott.

[Angel Reese]

I haven't heard that name in forever.

[Adam Carolla]

You see it on those Beverly Hills Housewives thing, where they're like, don't get me started. And they throw a drink at the woman or something. And then later on they're like, shotzi.

[Monique Marvez]

Come here.

[Angel Reese]

Because a dog is unconditional love. Like, a dog is going to love you even if you're a horrible person.

[Adam Carolla]

But it feels like a comp. It feels like compensation.

[Angel Reese]

Well, they put everything there. Yeah, they put it all there.

[Adam Carolla]

But they're super bitchy to their employees and then way too nice to the dog. You know, my thing is I'm shitty with everybody. I'm bad with the employees. I'm bad with the dog, I'm bad with the kids.

[Angel Reese]

You know, it's funny. Last time I was here, I said you were kind because you. You were very cool about helping a guy out when he didn't Sell as many tickets for a reason that wasn't your fault. And you're actually. I don't suffer fools, and I don't hang around unkind people. I don't have the time or the inclination. You're actually a really stellar human being.

[Adam Carolla]

Ooh, stellar.

[Angel Reese]

Stellar.

[Adam Carolla]

Never been called stellar, but I would think of myself as a fair person.

[Angel Reese]

And you have integrity.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, yeah, that I have. But it's not really integrity. It's just. I tell the truth as I know it, and that's kind of about it. I don't really have much of a choice, you know, but you do.

[Angel Reese]

Everybody does. That's what I. You know, I gravitate to people that think that they don't have a choice, because those are the people that are. Whether I agree with every single thing you say or not. The fact that you feel that way makes you, like, one of my tribe, someone I like to be around. Because I don't have time to listen to the dog whistle of bs. Cause I always know when people are lying. I'm just. I'm Latina, I'm bruja, whatever. I can feel it. And when I know someone's lying to me, I check out. Then they become Charlie Brown's dog to me. Like, I have no dogs.

[Adam Carolla]

Teacher. But, yeah, Charlie Brown's teacher.

[Angel Reese]

Thank you.

[Adam Carolla]

I know. Well, we were talking about dogs. I could have.

[Angel Reese]

Yeah. But no.

[Adam Carolla]

Look what I would say when everyone was yelling at me during COVID I was like, look, I'm a comedian. What are you gonna do? I have to say what I think. And if I stop saying what I think, then I'll just go back to carpentry. Cause that's my former profession. But I didn't get into comedy to win some sort of popularity contest. I have to say what I'm thinking. And I also have to gauge myself and go, look, are you wrong a lot? Are you right a lot? Like, what are you getting wrong? What are you getting right? Don't start talking if you don't think. You don't want this shit thrown in your face in six months, do you? When you're wrong, think it through. So think it through. And then once you thought it through because you're a comedian, then you're supposed to say something. But you're not supposed to go along with or do whatever's popular. Because why do comedy if that's what you're gonna do?

[Angel Reese]

People ask me if I fear getting canceled. I said, fear. Just stop at fear. You don't have to say getting cancer that's anathema to being a comic. If your art is ruled by fear, you're done. Stop.

[Adam Carolla]

No, I agree. And I just. Because of where I come from, I think I just instinctively tell people not to say things like integrity or dignity or any of that. My feeling is I wouldn't litter and I wouldn't litter if 1,000 people were watching or nobody was watching. I just wouldn't do it. And I wouldn't kick the dog if 1,000 people were watching or nobody was watching. You know, and you just have a way you live your life and it's kind of no duh stuff. It's not even real integrity or. Yes, you would think, and it would be nice if more people went about it that way, but. And I think we're kind of fear based. And I think in a weird way, comedians want acceptance and they want.

[Angel Reese]

Social media's ruined so many aspects of proper media. You've done radio? I did radio, yes. When radio was kind of of in its death throes in the 2000, let's say the 2000 and tens was when I was on KFI and I would talk to other talk show hosts, that you're there to say something of personality because you can say, you can see anything on your phone. You don't. They're there to hear you. And the minute they would see on Twitter that someone didn't agree with them, they would start saying, well, you know, I mean, mostly like this, but this is a thing too, you know, and they were living and dying by if they were being reposted, if people were liking it, if people were arguing with them, if, you know, if you wake me up in the middle of the night and say, how do you feel about gun control? I'll be like, I have a problem with AK47s. Everything else I'm open to discussion. You know what I mean? I'm gonna tell you the same thing no matter what you ask me and when you ask it.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, I do think you also have to have some concept of your ability. And if you have ability and you have ability that, you know, there's ability as a comedian or as an artist, a writer, creator, let's just say. And if you have a lot of ability, you'll always work. You want. You may not be Kevin Hart, and the business is sort of like, is Kevin Hart funnier than this guy or that guy? Not really. But someone's gotta be Kevin Hart.

[Angel Reese]

Right?

[Adam Carolla]

You know what I mean?

[Angel Reese]

Just fill that slot.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, you're not gonna get guaranteed that you're gonna be that, but you'll work. And you should have an accurate assessment of who you are and your abilities and your talent level. Level my head on it was I get to say whatever I want all the time because my ability is good enough that I'll always make a living. Not going to be Kevin Hart, but I'll just do what I want and then I'll get paid. And people have said time or two, well, you could be doing more of this if you said less about that. And I would never argue. I go, you're right. But I make enough money and I say what I want. You're free and I'm free. But if you don't have much ability, then you should be a little bit careful about what you say. But I mean it. I mean, I remember having a conversation with Tucker Carlson about this and he just goes, I said, well, let's really just break it down. Like, why are so many people going along with so many narratives? And so Scandal Covid's an easy one to point to, but they happen all the time.

[Angel Reese]

Sure.

[Adam Carolla]

And I was actually talking to Greg Gutfeld about this as well too, which is not that many people can say I'm excellent at what I do. Most people are okay at what they do and thus replace them.

[Angel Reese]

How do you feel about what you do?

[Adam Carolla]

Talking or comedy?

[Angel Reese]

Just call you a creator. You're a multi platform distribution creator.

[Adam Carolla]

I've always been funnier than everyone I know, including comedians, but doesn't make me Kevin Hart. It doesn't mean you'll get paid like Kevin Hart. I mean, there's always the asterisk of. I'm not saying that I need to be this person or that person. I'm just saying it's an assessment. Yeah.

[Angel Reese]

That's where things stand financially, visually. The metrics of. He's seen a lot by more people, he makes more money, et cetera.

[Adam Carolla]

It's just a metric. My ability has been better or I've never had any qualms or insecurities about my ability.

[Angel Reese]

That puts us in the same. We're in the same boat. I'm very good at what I do.

[Adam Carolla]

Right. But I'm not delusional.

[Angel Reese]

I'm not either.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, okay.

[Angel Reese]

No, I. I'm a girl that wouldn't sleep with people.

[Adam Carolla]

When I could, I went on, well, so a lot of us is up against experiences. I went and did Howard Stern with Jimmy Kimmel a billion years ago. He didn't know who either one of us were. And when I was done doing Howard Stern. And Howard Stern called me and he was like, I don't know who you are, but I want you to be part of this. I want you to be part of this program.

[Angel Reese]

There you go.

[Adam Carolla]

Now, that's him saying that. So it's not me going, I know I'm funnier than whatever. He called me and let me do it. And I told him, I live in la, do some TV shows, I'm not moving to New York, but thank you, and that was fine. So it's not based on something, it's based on things. So if you work at a company and you're kind of mid lower or wherever, you better toe the line.

[Angel Reese]

Correct.

[Adam Carolla]

And if you're up at the top.

[Angel Reese]

Or find another job, find the place where you can. Where your abilities are good.

[Adam Carolla]

What Tucker told me is he said, if I was 31 and had a newborn, I'd shut the fuck up if I worked at this company. And I said, you should, because you just had a kid and you're 31 and you're whatever. And what I was talking to him and Gutfeld about was, who does wander off the plantation? Like, who are the people that go to substack and stuff? And it's like, oh, they're people who are good. Most people aren't excellent. You know what I mean? And it's that way in every endeavor.

[Angel Reese]

Sure.

[Adam Carolla]

The ones at the very top of the food chain are the ones can go, I'm not gonna honor my contract. I'm getting traded. I hit.350 last year and stole 40 basis. You know, I'll get paid somewhere else. I don't have to. Do. You know the guys that are just hitting.225 and lucky to be on the roster, they shut up. They're happy to be there. And when you tell them, hey, it's Gay Pride night, we need you to put the Gay Pride jersey on, they go, yeah, yeah, where's the jersey? Where's the jersey, boss? It's the guys hitting.350 with the 40 stolen bases who can go, I'm not wearing a fucking gay flagship.

[Angel Reese]

But here's my question to you. If you inverse the relationship, I think every human being has something they can do well. And what's challenging is that they. You said something very smart, which is, you're not delusional. I think there's a lot of people that want so desperately to do something, whether it's be on a baseball team or be a comedian, that they do something that they're just merely good at or pretty good at. And they don't have the confidence in their field because they're not the guy that hit, you know, et cetera. And then I think there's people, and I think you may fall into this category. And myself, I tell people what got me smacked, divorced and fired is now paying my rent because I'm like this. I can't do other things. I'm not capable or competent. Yeah, I sold makeup and I'd have women come up to me and I was very good makeup artist. I was fantastic. But I'd have women walk up to me and they'd be like, monique, make me beautiful. I'd be like, I don't have that kind of time and you don't have that kind of money. You know, like. Like I was this person. So in a weird way, comedy was. It allows me to hide in plain sight because I'm the person who won't do what I don't want to do. Under. I can be broke with bald tires and bad credit, living in Koreatown, which I was, and I still wouldn't do what people wanted me to do.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, but you do. I think people inherently have a sense of where they're at, sort of ability wise. And it's not, you know, I worked construction and I was a good carpenter and I got onto a job that was an earthquake rehab job and it got paid like 19 bucks an hour when I was making 12 or 13 an hour. And my foreman was an ex friend of mine, his name's Jan, and he started being a real dickhead to me because he was my foreman and he rode me a lot. And at some point I just said, I'm not coming back. And they were like, you're making. I mean, there was a big difference between making. I was making like 1950 an hour versus dropping down to like 12 or 13. That was a big crowd. But I was like, you know what, Jan? I'm a good carpenter and I'll go somewhere else and I'll figure this out. And I did. And I did. And you can have a sense. On the other hand, you can be lucky to be there and hang on with both hands and take Yan shit and get paid.

[Angel Reese]

I don't think you're designed to take people's crap. You're not that guy.

[Adam Carolla]

I can. You can say whatever you want to me. You really can. But I'm also. I have certain things. Like I did a year of radio with Danny Bonaduce. I did not want to do a second year of radio with Danny Bonaduce. I told them that. They said, okay. And then they signed Danny Bonaduce to another year. And I just stayed home. I just didn't show up.

[Monique Marvez]

I didn't know that.

[Angel Reese]

That's a good story.

[Adam Carolla]

I never answered the phone. My agent called. Everyone called. We were supposed to do a live show from, like, Senior Frogs or something. I don't know where it was Carlos and Pepe's. We're doing a live show. I said, all right.

[Angel Reese]

As we say in the biz.

[Adam Carolla]

I did not. We're doing a remote. A live Christmas remote.

[Monique Marvez]

You ruined Christmas.

[Adam Carolla]

And I never showed up. And they. I didn't call in. I didn't call in sick. I just never showed up.

[Angel Reese]

Conscientious.

[Adam Carolla]

Never did anything. My agent called. I said, I did not talk to anybody. And it rolled right into Christmas vacation, and I wasn't there. And they had no idea if I was coming back. They didn't know what it was because they signed Danny. And I told them, do not sign. I'm not doing another year with him. And they said, we won't do it. And then they signed him to another year. And I said, I already told you. I didn't tell them I was leaving. I just never came back. And then. And I never answered the phone. And I just got about my business. And then at some point, my gate rang.

[Monique Marvez]

And it's Bonaduce outside.

[Adam Carolla]

No, better. It was better. My gate rang, and it was Jimmy Kimmel who walked over to my house. I think he lived by my house at the time. And he just rang my. And he rang my gate and he said, hey, man, when these guys at the radio station, he was involved with producing the show or whatever, he said, you gotta pick up your phone. You gotta pick up your phone at some point. These people are going nuts. I said, I'm not gonna pick up my phone, Jimmy. I don't want him to think I'm negotiating. I don't want him to think that I'm. Whatever. I'm not talking to my agent. Cause my agent will tell them he's a little hot in the head. He'll calm down. He'll calm down. I said, I'm not talking to dicks. I'm not talking to anybody. And he goes. Jimmy goes, you gotta pick up your phone. I go, I'm not gonna do it. And he goes, they're driving me nuts. They keep calling me. Because they call you, and then you don't pick up your phone. Then they call me and tell me to. Whatever. So you pick up the phone. Cuz. They're driving me nuts. But they ended up getting rid of Bonaduce. But it wasn't why I did it. I mean, I just told him I'm not coming back and doing another year with Danny Bonaduce. If you like Danny Bonaduce, it's not a. I'm just saying I'm not going to do this thing. If you want him to do the show, then do the show. God bless, I'll listen to the show. I'm just saying I don't want to do this. I got our money doubled on Loveline, on mtv. Cuz I just told him after two years ago, I'm not. You gotta double my money. Otherwise I'm not coming back. But I'm not doing it as a threat. It's not worth. It's just not worth it. And they doubled it. But what I found is you gotta make them think you're not threatening them or even upset. You're just saying I'm not worth the time to do stuff. But yeah, you have to have that. But if I was 29 and had a newborn, then no, I probably wouldn't have gone that route.

[Angel Reese]

My dad told me when I was maybe 14, he said, Monique, one day you're gonna be broke, one day you're gonna be brokenhearted. Make sure it's not the same day.

[Adam Carolla]

Wow.

[Angel Reese]

And I took that to heart. And since I've been a very young woman, I've always had a job, I've always had a, you know, I've always looked after myself because I never wanted to be in a position where I couldn't state things as a fact. And one of my husband's a very possessive, jealous guy and he accused me of flirting with my radio co host. He. The show was called Monique and the man and the co host was a guy named Greg Sims. And we were friends. He's on K Earth now. We were friends and we'd go to lunch after the show, it was morning drive. And he'd be like, you and your little Greggy. You're always flirting with Greggy. He was a southerner, so he had that accent, which made it worse. And then he says to me, you know, you need to quit flirting. And I said, now that I've heard your language, I know how far I can go. I said, flirting is a pussy behavior. You kind of throw something out there to see if somebody will bite, you know. I said, number one, I'm married, I don't flirt. I said, here's how it's gonna work. You're going to annoy me. I'm going to tell you. Then you're going to annoy me again. I'm going to tell you. I'm not going to yell. I'm not going to complain. I'm not going to tell you to fix the behavior. I'm not going to do anything. I'm just going to tell you that thing you just did, don't do that. It really bothers me. And please take it to heart. I don't raise my voice, Adam. I don't do it. And so I said, then if you hit three strikes, I'm going to divorce you. I'm going to leave you, and then I'm going to regroup, figure out how I ended up married to you to begin with. I'm going to figure it out. I'll be by myself. I'll regroup. Then I will see somebody that I find interesting and say, hey, I like you. Would you like to have a coffee with me? And that's how it works. I don't flirt. I don't do things in half measures. And by the way, this is your first warning.

[Monique Marvez]

Wow, you gave him a demerit.

[Adam Carolla]

How do you react to that?

[Angel Reese]

Not well. Not well, because people always say they want you to be direct and honest, but when a woman does it. I remember when I worked with John Gray, he kept saying, you got a lot of dude energy. The Mars Venus guy. Because I am very. If I have to scream and yell. I dated a guy in the 80s that had a BMW. I know you're a car guy. Had a BMW 325. Five speed, you know, little car. And he drove like a lunatic, like he was gonna die, you know? And I would tell him, please don't drive that way. It's very upsetting. It makes me nervous. From the passenger seat. Do whatever you want when I'm not in the car, but when I'm in the car, please don't drive that way. Three times I told him. I said, I really. It terrifies me. Just like I'm. It terrifies me if a woman looks you in the eye and says something you're doing. Terrifies me. What would you do, Adam?

[Adam Carolla]

Well, I.

[Angel Reese]

If you liked her.

[Adam Carolla]

Listen, I have a race car license and do some competitive driving. And I also understand that. That women do not like going at those speeds in the passenger seat. Yeah, yeah. So I get it. I used to see my dad, God rest his soul, he thought there was a break on the floorboard of the passenger seat. I could see his foot working the Brake. The invisible brake. And that's when I always knew he was getting to his saturation point. So, yes, I still drive with some spirit, but not aggressively. And I would not. I. No, I would. I take into account now. But hold on. If the speed limit's 34 and the woman wants to go 22, then I will tell her, I will go the speed limit.

[Angel Reese]

He was doing 90 and a 65. Like, I'm good with 80 and a 65.

[Adam Carolla]

Right?

[Angel Reese]

I'm cool.

[Adam Carolla]

That's what I'm saying.

[Angel Reese]

Yeah. No, he was a maniac. And so the third time I said it was such. I didn't scream or yell, but I said it with real. Like, hey, look, if you care. This is really terrifying me. Guess what, Ben? That was the old. When you had the answering machine with the little mini tape. I just wouldn't like you. I wouldn't take his call. It was over. I was finished with him. He filled the tape with. I don't know what I did. I don't know why you won't pick up. So it's kind of the same.

[Monique Marvez]

Like that man, Dale Earnhardt Jr. That's right.

[Adam Carolla]

No, it is. I agree with you. You shouldn't have to yell to make a point. You just simply say something more than once. And if they're not picking up what you're putting down, then. But it's also. Then you just don't want to be with the person who kicks the dog.

[Angel Reese]

Right. Because they don't take your feelings into account. If you went out to the lobby and said, look, Monique, when you're on the show, don't do this. I won't do it.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, most people don't have full control over themselves. That's another thing I've realized, like, they don't. Most people, or many people, if you go, look, this is a very expensive council, and it was handmade, and it mars, so please use a coaster. Half the people I know within 30 seconds just set it right next to a coaster. Now, I don't know how to account for that, but that is most people, unfortunately.

[Angel Reese]

And a lot of people are just oppositional. It's almost like when you tell them something, their brain says, no can do.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, there's a. I think it's. Dr. Drew calls it, like an adolescent defiance disorder.

[Monique Marvez]

Oppositional defiance disorder.

[Adam Carolla]

Oppositional defiance disorder, yeah. Mayhem. Has it, evidently. Yes. Or has been diagnosed with it. Definitely. Do I have it? People, they start arguing before you're even done with what you're saying. So are there people who shout the word no all the time. Like, you go, oh, man. Every time I'm driving late for the airport, I always. And they go, no, no, no, no, no, no. How about no? And I'm like, stop yelling no. Stop yelling no in the middle of the story. Also, there's people that don't let you finish saying what you're saying. They just dive in and start yelling at something else. It's out there. It's real. It's a thing. I don't get it, but a lot of people have it, and it's way more prevalent than it should be.

[Angel Reese]

I agree.

[Adam Carolla]

It affects a lot of people. And it doesn't really have to do with a chronological age or what your driver's license says or any of the men do it, women do it. I find there's an IQ thing attached to it, but occasionally there is a high IQ version of it, which Jimmy Kimmel has it, but that's more of a comedian thing, where they're just kind of. It's a little ball busting mixed in with a little. I'm smarter than you, so I'm going to fix this one or tell you how it goes, you know, but there is. It is a thing, and it exists. And that's why you should go take a groundlings class. It hopefully will cure you of. It'll give you the. Yes. And. And not only that, but, you know. Which is words to live by. Forget about being on stage. It's just words to live by, like. Oh, yeah. Not only that. Yep, agree. And not only that, but we'll keep going. Monique, I should give some dates out for you. Naples coming up.

[Angel Reese]

Yes. Off the hook, which you were just there and crushed it, so. Yes. This Saturday, if you screwed up Valentine's, I'm gonna fix it for you.

[Adam Carolla]
