Adam Carolla
Hey, in this episode, our old friend Nick Davis. Yeah, he used to work here, comes back, pays us a visit. Joel Lambert, former Navy seal, guy's got a lot of information, is going to join us as well. Also, Mayhem's got the news. And we'll do all that after this.
Joel Lambert
From Corolla One studios in Glendale, California, this is the Adam Carolla Show. Adam's guest today, the host of Combat Buddy, former ACS lackey, Nick Davis, former Navy SEAL Joel Lambert joins us. And we'll get the news and trending topics with Jason Mayhem Miller. And now he doesn't have ashes on his head because it's Ash Wednesday. He just went to his place in Malibu. Adam Corolla.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. Get it on. Got to get it on the church to get in my neck. Get it on. We'll talk a lot about the UFC today. And our local boy makes good story. Nick Davis is back. Returned as old stomping grounds. Nick worked here for a while, then he moved. And then he produces Theo Vaughn's podcast and had incredible success there. I gotta believe you're a big part of that success. Nick Davis.
Nick Davis
Absolutely. Complete lateral move from your lackey to Theo's lackey. And I just implemented all your discipline there.
Adam Carolla
Smart, nice, worked. Well, Nick, we're here for how long were you here?
Nick Davis
Two years, but it seemed like a lot longer for me. Cause it was My first two years in la.
Adam Carolla
Uh huh. And you just wanted to know was podcasting like you just, you were attracted to it? You were attracted to comedy? Like what was the plan?
Nick Davis
I realized I've thought a lot about this since I was obsessed with sports talk radio. When I was 12, I would call into this one show, ESPN All Night with John Chalesnik, and it aired from 2 to 6am on Friday and Saturday mornings and I would listen when my grandma was visiting her boyfriend in Iowa. So I could stay up all night and listen to the computer and I would call in. And When I was 12, I was a Hall of fame listener, Nick from Wisconsin at the show from 2 to 6am and like that just transferred to podcasts. I was listening to you. You were my favorite show. When I got hired and I did, I kind of didn't have a future in LA. I was working like a 9 to 5, making like 45 grand a year. And I was just like, I didn't see a future and I just, I was obsessed with podcasting. I have letters I wrote to like podcast one in like 2014, before I moved out here where I thought the industry was going and stuff. And I just thought it was a chance and I, I quit my job and moved out here and lived in my car.
Adam Carolla
Well, it just goes to show you got to follow that passion and you just never know where it's going to end up. I mean, Theo's show has just blown up in just the last couple of years and it was around for a few years before that. So it's kind of hard to say, oh, this will work or this is not going to work, or if it doesn't work in the first couple of years. It's interesting. How do you. And nobody can really figure it out. It's kind of like when people say I want to do a video and I want it to go viral. Well, you don't have any control over that. And if somebody had control over videos going viral, they'd be the richest person in the world probably. And then momentum kind of begats itself. Like when people, celebrities, podcasts, they get on a roll, then you get on a roll and then you attract better guests and there's a certain winner's mentality or something. But I don't know. How would you describe that explosion of success in Theo's podcast?
Nick Davis
I think my career. Theo's podcast is kind of like your theory. When Pete Davidson gets laid by someone hot in Hollywood, then everybody thinks they're a commodity and it just kind of it's a self fulfilling prophecy at that point.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, it is. Because everything, it's almost in a way it's like comedians, but in a way it's like almost everything in a lot of sports in MMA too, there's not a huge chasm between this podcast and that podcast and this fighter and that fighter in F1. It's a couple tenths of a second. That's really. It's not like, well, that guy can't drive. No, that guy drives. He can drive. That other guy's too tense. Better than him or for some reason captured some zeitgeist or something. And it's incredible. And I don't know how to explain it other than we're human beings and maybe we're a little more animal than we think. And we vibe with things and we also follow like, we like a little momentum, you know what I'm saying? And Theo has capture that momentum. And so people are like, oh yeah.
Nick Davis
That momentum really started like my last year here. That's where I met him. And like you said, he kind of had another. He had another podcast at the time called Allegedly he did with some TMZ reporter, but that didn't catch on. But he went on Rogan a couple times. Hilarious. On Rogan, his clips started going viral and then famous people would see his clips and then they'd be willing to come on. And it takes like one person to make that leap where it's like, okay, he's in the cool kids cup. Have you seen, there's this kid, Matan, he's a little troll. He got. He went viral for like talking to some only fans, girls on some podcast.
Adam Carolla
Never heard of them.
Nick Davis
He's like, name 10 books. Name 10 books. And they couldn't do it. But now this kid has a podcast where he brings on comedians, he trolls the shit, tries to make him look like an idiot for an hour, but he keeps getting a bigger and bigger name. I'm like, why are these comedians going on there to take this?
Jason Mayhem Miller
Well, probably because I went on it last year.
Nick Davis
That might have started.
Adam Carolla
What was that like?
Jason Mayhem Miller
It was great.
Adam Carolla
Did he troll you?
Jason Mayhem Miller
Did he troll me? Nah, nah, it was weird. He didn't. He didn't even try.
Nick Davis
Probably afraid, but that's scary the whole time.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Yeah. I never caught him trolling me once.
Nick Davis
That'll be my first thing I watch when I get out of here then.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Yeah, it's a great episode.
Adam Carolla
Well, it's a good time to talk combat sports because we got a big fight coming up this Weekend, Annette, Nick's show he's doing on YouTube.
Jason Mayhem Miller
So pumped that you're here, dude. I want to hear your opinion. Like I love broadcasting mixed marshals. There's a throng of them. And you're an early adopter.
Nick Davis
Yeah. Thank you for saying that. Because whenever I talk to someone who's actually done it, the man in the arena, I feel a little silly.
Jason Mayhem Miller
I haven't trained to give some insight that you. You know what I mean. And you know, you get the thinking man's version every day. I still fight. Yesterday was a two hour ago. I didn't, you know, I got muay Thai. Didn't feel like I had enough out of there. I did jiu jitsu with everybody.
Adam Carolla
Just a regular student training guys, coach.
Jason Mayhem Miller
You know what, listen, I was just a regular student yesterday. I listened to the coach over there. I just did what he did, follow along. And then whoever was my partner, I gave him some tips. And it was good because it was like early. It was athletic dudes that weren't very adept at martial arts yet, but I can get them there.
Adam Carolla
So fight coming up this weekend. I don't know where it is. I don't know if there's a time difference. I don't know how much to pay per view by is. I was thinking of possibly getting a fight and having a few guys watch it because that's always a good time unless it's in Dubai and you want him to come by at 10 in the morning because who wants to drink at 10 in the morning?
Nick Davis
I streamed a live card that was in China overnight with my girlfriend. 2 to 8am we had a mattress in my room and we watched every fight. It was a banger card. No one saw it.
Adam Carolla
2 to 8am and so 7pm It's T mobile. It's Las Vegas. It's here. Is it gonna be a good card?
Nick Davis
I think it's one of the best.
Jason Mayhem Miller
They could put on the main event. Is gonna answer some questions.
Nick Davis
Absolutely. Like Alex Pereira. He's Alex and he wrestled. Yes. I think a fun lottery ticket I get get into betting early. That's always where I end up. But ankle or Pereira. Round 5 subs plus 7500$10 to win 750. Some leg kicks, some gassing from Ankalaev.
Jason Mayhem Miller
I'm giving you cash, you drive to Vegas.
Nick Davis
Will do.
Adam Carolla
I got a guy who's favorite here right now.
Nick Davis
It's really close to even money. I thought Ankle IV because of the wrestling. He's a grappler. Dagestani. Very Khabib, like, but he's got really good kickboxing, and that's what he prefers to do. But when he gets his back against the wall, he can go to the wrestling. And that's why I thought he was going to be, like, closer to a minus 200 favorite. But it's really close to even. I think he's kind of growing to the favorite, buddy.
Jason Mayhem Miller
You know why that favorite line moved? That name, Pereira. Yo, Chama. This guy, everyone loves him. They're gonna throw money on him.
Nick Davis
He's got an aura, and he does get the public money.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Like, why does he know how to wrestle?
Nick Davis
Do you think he does?
Adam Carolla
No, no, no.
Jason Mayhem Miller
I'm saying put all your money on Pereira.
Adam Carolla
Knock out in the first round.
Nick Davis
I like it. He's become the protege of Glover Teixeira, who's literally my favorite fighter of all time. The grinder, the grandpa of mma.
Jason Mayhem Miller
He ain't no grandpa, but that's a.
Adam Carolla
Beast of a man.
Jason Mayhem Miller
That's a cave man. Born to do this job.
Nick Davis
Yeah, indeed. But he just received his black belt from him, so I don't know. People. Some people from his camp say his grappling's better than people think.
Jason Mayhem Miller
If he cannot wrestle, fine. Can he jujitsu. If he can flow on the ground, you know what I mean? And survive every round and then keep getting. You got to start on your feet every time. You got to start on your feet. So if he can survive round two, three, you know what I mean? Jiu jitsu. Jiu jitsu. Stop the damage from coming in, get back up, make him wear out. Now you got a kickbox tight. Then Pereira is going to win. Yeah, but you know, the common, you know, sense says the wrestler guy will be able to survive the knockout is the big, scary question mark for Ankalaev.
Nick Davis
And Yan Blachovich and Ankalaev fought. They fought to a draw for the champ. The vacated title fought to a draw, and then because it was so boring, they didn't give either one of them a shot for it again. But Ankalaev really should have been the number one. But in that fight, he was really damaged by some of the leg kicks by Jan, and I think that could come into play here.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Now you, I know for sure have watched more ankle A fights than I have. How's his chin?
Nick Davis
It's. He rarely gets hit honestly, for.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Because his wrestling, he closed the distance. If it becomes a heated exchange, right?
Nick Davis
And he can. He can point fight some of. Before he started getting into five rounders, he was getting a Reputation as a boring fighter, going to decisions, technician kick.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Like they do a karate hybrid or some type of strange European style kickboxing mixed with their wrestling. I know it's a strange thing to deal with. Pereira, I'm sure throughout all his kickboxing fights has fought that style before. So he's going to be like reading that. He's going to be reading that. So it'll be a nice stand up exchange. But I'm just worried about Ankalaev just pushing the clinch all the time, pushing a takedown, winning. And we've seen Pereira been taken down before and kind of hold on, not flowing.
Adam Carolla
Well, let me ask you guys a question, which is you can make it a boring fight and win if that in fact is all you want is the W. But historically there's been guys who got a lot of W's, but they're making business decisions and they're playing it safe or they're doing it in a way that's not crowd pleasing. Then you'd have to go, well on one hand, what do you want? And you go, well, I want wins. I want to be a champion. And with the wins and the champion strap, so then comes the money and the accolades. But not if you do it in a super boring way. You'd almost be better off chancing a loss in an exciting way. I mean, there's fight of the night, you know, that's 50 grand or whatever they're paying. But it's not just whatever it is I can do to win. Even if the crowd is booing, is it? I mean, some guys are that way, but don't guys have to balance it between. Crowd is booing and I've got to put my chin out a little bit because there is a better financial payday if you are deemed an exciting action fighter versus a guy who has a lot of wins, who's a boring fighter.
Jason Mayhem Miller
But I think that, like, that's a philosophical question.
Adam Carolla
It is. That's why I'm asking.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Yeah. Is the personality. Hard set is a guy who take chances. Like in my career, I took so much chances, did some crazy stuff, lost fights I should have won because I was really trying to wow the crowd, you know, And I think to myself, oh, could I have way back when changed my personality to go, okay, I'm gonna be very disciplined and only do this and only, you know, work takedowns, only, you know, totally flip the. You know, why? Like, I couldn't. I don't think I could. It seems like the Dagestani will be like Disciplined no matter what. That's how he is. And Barrera will go and try to land bombs.
Nick Davis
I think the perfect example of. Of both kind of directions you can go. Take your chances, be exciting, get the big fights. That's Justin Gaethje. He is an extremely technical kickboxer. Great wrestler. We've only seen him attempt maybe one takedown in the ufc, but he gets the big fights. He's going to be exciting. It's killer. Be killed. Whereas. And I think ankle IV is a good representation of the other side. Some. These Dagestani guys, they don't get pushed by the ufc. They'll win, and they'll just kind of stay at a level for a while. They don't speak English, they're not marketable, and I. But I think they eventually just grind it out where they become undeniable.
Jason Mayhem Miller
That's what I mean. The Khabib method.
Nick Davis
Yeah, exactly. You can. If you do 12 in a row, they have to give you a title shot because people are gonna be pissed.
Jason Mayhem Miller
I'm just gonna keep winning to stack it up. Yeah. Win after win after win. Cause nobody knows how to wrestle that good yet.
Adam Carolla
All right, shifting gears, but something that I was thinking about. Cause these two stories were in the news.
Nick Davis
Can I give one more fight?
Adam Carolla
Oh, sorry. Yeah.
Nick Davis
Super quick. Just a guy I think you should watch. I think he'll be on the prelims. Josh Van. I know you're a boxing purist. He has some of the best boxing in the UFC.
Adam Carolla
What? Wait. See?
Nick Davis
125, really small.
Adam Carolla
Oh, well. So he's real technical. I mean, he looks sharp.
Nick Davis
Yeah. And I sent Andrew a link. There's one highlight, but his boxing is crisp. He works the body. He's an incredible gas tank. And you don't see boxing that's like good, technical boxing that often. The ufc, every year it gets better, and you can pick out guys who have it. Jack Delamena, who's fighting for a title, great boxer, but I love this kid. He's 23. For the first time his career, he's fighting someone who's younger than him. Japanese junior Olympic wrestler Ray Suya.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Striker versus grappler.
Nick Davis
Yeah. And I think he'll eventually wear them out. Gas him out. There'll be some body lock takedowns.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Where camp is he from? I'm not familiar with him.
Adam Carolla
God.
Nick Davis
Campani.
Adam Carolla
He's.
Nick Davis
I think he's. I think he's the first Burmese fighter, but he's someplace in the US Now.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Great.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. It's easier short guys with Short limbs look so much better boxing than the little guy. So much better. It's so much better looking. Oh, here we go then.
Nick Davis
Although he's out the way, he's in the black shorts.
Adam Carolla
The Klitschkos could. The only guys who were tall that really punched straight and it worked. Ended up working out pretty nicely for those two. Yeah, there's a lot of left body, that kind of stuff.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Jab. Yeah.
Adam Carolla
Yeah.
Nick Davis
There's a lot of tall fighters who do not utilize the straight punches well enough. And then another thing I like to see with a guy who has a big reach advantage in MMA is stepping elbows, because the other guy has to crash forward. He's going to be getting down and elbows and knees, because when they get in tight, you can't throw a straight punch. Right.
Jason Mayhem Miller
A good old polish elbow, I learned. I think it's making a comeback where you just punches straight. Now, the key is to open your hand while you do it so you get that sharp part of the elbow. Hope you get a cut on the face.
Adam Carolla
All right, now, from all this violence to other forms of assault. So I was watching. There was a big story when Adrien Brody won the Oscar. And then he went back, and I think Halle Berry and him reenacted their kiss from 20 years earlier when he'd won the Oscar. And she, I guess, presented, but she was on stage. And then he circled back, and then he went back and planted one on her, which is, I don't know, 20 years ago, 22 years ago. It was sort of simpler times. Like, nobody made a big deal out of everything. But we might have that. I don't know. Yeah, we have her planning one on him after the Oscars, this Oscars. So she sort of found him and planted one on him. But it was an homage or a callback to the actual Oscars from 20 years earlier, where Adrian. And you can find the clip somewhere in there, Andrew, where Adrian planted one on her on stage. Now, this was like a reenactment of the old one, but the old one was more spontaneous. But nobody cared is the answer. But it was a big one. What Adrien Brody did to Halle Berry without consent was a pretty big smooch on stage. And it was sort of whether she liked it or not. He circled back. We must have it somewhere. Andrew. Talking about this stuff for the show. Guy. Yeah, we'll have that. And this is. I don't know.
Dawson
This is the first Academy Award and nomination for Adrien Bro.
Adam Carolla
Now, I don't know if he did it after his speech or before his speech. Or he just ran over and did it. Oh, here he goes. He just runs up and he. Oh, he puts a big one on her. Okay. And nobody cared. All right? So also, I've seen a lot of guys kiss. A lot of the guys in the audience on the lips. But, okay, the soccer president of Spain. That guy just had his trial for celebrating on a podium in front of 80,000 people after winning the championship with the women's soccer. You got that? Well, we might have the vid somewhere. The story is. It's insane. It's sort of out of body, otherworldly insane. If you watch, this guy is standing on the podium and you can pause it for a second. It's basically a receiving line. You are the president. You stand on the podium. You stand next to the coach or the head of FIFA or whatever it is. The girls line up and as they walk across the podium, there's hugs and kisses for all who come across the podium, which is what this guy did. He has a girl hugging him and maybe we can see it. Is it number 11 that he's giving it to?
Nick Davis
They've had Richard Dawson tied up like Hannibal Lecter.
Adam Carolla
Oh, my God. On a refrigerator dolly to move him in and out of the studio for Family Feud. All right, yeah, let's just watch it again. He grabs her. Grabs her, hugs her, kisses her, by the way, slaps her on the back. She's hugging him and she's slapping him on the back. Okay, nothing happened here. Nothing happened here. Now it's not okay. Whose fault is this? The fault is of the people. We as a human species need to claim our society back in the name of sanity. It's all the scared people that go along with this shit. So what was the story, Andrew andor Dawson, that you read me? Andrew, from earlier today? He was okay, so this bitch first said it was nothing. He's a good dude. I don't know what we're talking about here, okay? Then the feminazi mob got to her and made her cave, which, by the way, makes you weak people. It means you have no constitution. It means you're sad, and it means you have no fucking spine. And it is, by the way, the opposite of every book and novel that's ever written and every hero that's ever been to war. You caved, you pussed out and you did the wrong thing, which is your initial blush was it was nothing. And by the way, if she'd stuck to her guns and kept saying this wasn't a thing, move on we would have moved on, but they got to her and she fucking caved. She has no dignity. It drives you. I don't know what happened to pride. What happened to character? Like, what happened to character where someone just went, you know, it's like you get rear ended at four miles an hour, you know, and you get out of the car and you go, oh, man. Yeah, there's no real damage here. I gotta get on. I gotta roll with Mayhem down at the. Down at the gym. And then you get out and you go, roll with Mayhem down at the gym. And then you in the locker room and you're getting out of the shower, and one of Mayhem's students, who's an attorney, steps out of the shower and he goes, jeez, yeah, someone dinged up your bumper. And you go, yeah, some guy tapped me from behind on the way to the dojo. And he goes, I could get you paid for that. And you go, what do you mean? Oh, I can get you 100 grand. And you go, oh, well. But the car's fine. How's your neck? You know, actually feels a little bit stiff about now. Well, go ahead. Tell you what I got. Neck brace out my car, put this on. We'll take a photograph. What happened to your dignity? What the fuck happened to your dignity? What happened to everybody? When did everyone become super weak and super sad and so fucking pliable? It's the opposite of everything we. Whenever we discuss. Has there ever been a funeral where the guy went, you know, Brad, he was a good man. He didn't really have much dignity, and he could be bought pretty easily. And he did have some fraudulent insurance claims, but other than that, decent dad, unless someone gave him $10, and then he'd be a shit dad because he'd basically do what you wanted for. Or he was scared of everyone all the time, so he just kind of went along, you know, I remember he didn't. He didn't think wearing paper masks outside was a good idea, but he was too big a puss to say anything, so he just did it. Has anyone been eulogized that way?
Jason Mayhem Miller
That one hits home.
Nick Davis
The two worst descriptors men can have is sniveling and litigious. And if you get a sniveling, litigious guy, there's a guy doing this, extorting my girlfriend right now. Actor is trying to claim missed auditions and charging $10,000 per missed auditions. He has Nair credit on IMDb and. But the insurance is basically laughing at him.
Adam Carolla
But, yeah, even trying, I just. You just want to go like everyone's.
Jason Mayhem Miller
In a Facebook focus group now. So you have everybody telling you what you should do and what they think about you getting smooched on the lips by your coach.
Adam Carolla
I had a guy worked in the other building, got fired or whatever and then he just claimed racial discrimination.
Nick Davis
And it's like not the one I fought, was it.
Adam Carolla
I didn't know what. I didn't know what the guy was. He was from somewhere. I don't know what he was. He wasn't black. It was like something. John Queer never talked to him about it. Like I don't know what he's doing. But then they have whole lawyers that just do this for a living, which is a sadder part. Cuz you're fucking professional. This is your profession. All right, do we have this story? Dawson? Yes, we have a story. Or. Andrew? Yes. Spain's High court found him guilty of sexual assault and fined him US dollars $10,434 for the crime. He was guilty of sexual assault for celebrating fully closed on a podium in front of 80,000 people while he was being filmed by kissing a woman on the lips who was embracing him at the same time for a millisecond. And has been suspended for three years and has been drummed out of the league after winning the World cup as the president.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Maybe they just did it.
Adam Carolla
Okay, so sorry. It's not his fault, it's not her fault, it's not the judge's fault. It's everyone else's fault but mine who will not fucking stand up and start screaming about this shit. By the way, Spain is further gone than we are, evidently. But what else happen in this story? She's got this story. Sorry, we'll do both.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Yeah, it's fine.
Adam Carolla
Well, Andrew, go. The judge said that this instance was of minor intensity. Yes. Meaning zero. So it was just going to be a fine, not a actual crime with a prison sentence. But the. But there's more to the story because the prosecutors were shooting for. They wanted to incarcerate this guy for three years. Yeah. Jenny Hermosa, the soccer player got kissed, wants to go. She just wants to go hard in the paint and get jail time. She wants jail time for this guy. What the fuck happened to this bitch? Like she have some sort of mind worm or something? What is she doing? Or did she just get co opted by crazy angry fucking lesbians that are trying to ruin all of society? What is going on? Could you imagine fighting for jail time? By the way, jail, you take away every right a person has and you put him in a cage for three years. He's the president of the soccer association who celebrated with you, you evil witch. And by the way, listen, have no sympathy for these people. Cuz people go. It happens all the time where people go. You know, the lawyers get to them and then the people get to them and then whatever. How about you tell those people to fuck off? You have some fucking dignity. And by the way, there's a tape of it. You can watch the tape. Nothing happened. Ugh. So is the lawyer. Is the. She wants more time? She wants to revisit this assault or. And what does the prosecutor want to do? Andrew, the lawyer says if she wants to keep up the fight, she will. But again, they haven't. They don't have a strategy moving forward.
Nick Davis
Can I just say, they said minor intensity. But she looks of age to me. She's at least. That's no minor.
Adam Carolla
That's right. That is a senior intensity moment. All right, I'm just saying, everyone, I don't know, is it a step toward the light? Is this progress? We'll take innocent guys and lock them up because everyone's too fucking scared to say bitches have gone nuts in the last 10 minutes and we got to reel this shit in. No, you don't believe every woman. No, you don't lock up innocent guys who've done nothing. And by the way, it takes every ounce of energy you spend on an innocent person is energy you could be putting toward actual rapists and actual assaults where there's actual victims. That's all.
Dawson
Cats have always acted like their don't stink. Now with Fresh Step heavy duty's new 30 day odor control, it actually doesn't. Fresh Step's new heavy Duty litter fights odor three times longer than the leading brand. This is Fresh Step's strongest litter ever. Giving your litter box 30 days of odor control. Step it up to Fresh Step with the new Heavy Duty litter three times claim based on fecal Malder versus the leading regular clumping litter. Strongest litter ever is based on odor control. Febreze is used under license from the Procter & Gamble Company or its affiliates.
Nick Davis
That's how I feel about any issue on Twitter and my own life. Any time I spend on there, getting pissed about something is something I'm not doing at home.
Adam Carolla
Does it make you money or does it make you happy? I told that to Teresa Strasser years ago. Changed her life.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Super fun on the toilet, though. X.
Adam Carolla
Well, look, if settling people's hash on Twitter makes you happy or makes you Money. I. I'm not saying it doesn't. It doesn't exist.
Jason Mayhem Miller
No.
Adam Carolla
Dawson, you had a thought?
Joel Lambert
Yeah, I was just thinking about how, you know, historically corrupt the soccer programs are in world soccer, and it struck me as maybe before I thought possibly, maybe somebody had it out for this guy and they want to. There's a coup going on in the. In the Spanish soccer federation, but it takes away points from that argument. If she's arguing for jail time.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Yeah.
Joel Lambert
It's like, did he do something really?
Adam Carolla
Like, was he super hated? She has a statement.
Joel Lambert
I wouldn't be surprised if she was getting pressure from inside of a federation who's trying to make some changes.
Jason Mayhem Miller
I'm into that. Conspiracy.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, some of that. Also, there's the Federation of Angry Lesbians. Yes, the FAL Yeah, the FAL I.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Just imagine them like hooligans and the fighting.
Adam Carolla
Al got to her because she changed her story. And then she says, hermoso. Cry me a fucking river, bitch. Says the unsolicited kiss from her boss. That's all. Everything's unsolicited when you're celebrating. Like anyone who gets the Gatorade dumped on them, not solicited part of the celebration. Champagne sprayed on them from the podium. Unsolicited part of the celebration. It's called a spontaneous celebration. So we don't solicit and we don't take pre orders, and there's no layaway plan for celebrations. Spontaneous celebration, bitch. But it was the commotion that followed tainted one of the happiest days of my life. So she says, but, bitch, you could have shut up and then you could have enjoyed your victory.
Joel Lambert
She could have not only shut up, she could have shut it down.
Adam Carolla
She could have shut it down. Yes, but now. And good job, Spain, because. And good job, ladies on the soccer team, because no one remembers you winning anything. We just remember a frivolous lawsuit against the guy who didn't deserve it. So good job. And if you didn't want it tainted, then shut your fucking pie hole next time. Okay? Other than that, I got no thoughts about it. You guys have both. I experienced some pain the other night, which is. Oh, God. Okay. Bad design. There's nothing worse than bad design. Like bad ergonomic design. I am displaced by the way we're coming up on the. It's the two month anniversary from the fires, and that'd be my displacement. And there's a couple things I'm. No, I'm now living. I would say I'm living in a house or a townhouse. That I would have rented with a buddy when I was working construction. That's basically my lavish life.
Nick Davis
But to yourself this time.
Adam Carolla
Yes.
Nick Davis
Big shooter.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, yeah, yeah. But big. Big shot living in some 80s condo.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Don'T have to share a futon.
Adam Carolla
No, but we're getting to. We're getting to the futon. It's been two months. There's been zero cleanup in Malibu or beyond, and it's now raining again. So all the toxic shit that they're worried about, it's in the ocean. If it wasn't in the ocean on the last run, and I mean the last run, were rivers flowing down those cany rivers to the sea, to the sea. Just like that Righteous Brothers song. Lonely river flow to the sea Unchained melody. Come on. You understand that one.
Jason Mayhem Miller
I don't know that one.
Adam Carolla
You do.
Jason Mayhem Miller
I might.
Adam Carolla
Dawson will find it, and you'll both know it. And then you can apologize to me.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Very well.
Nick Davis
I first thought Hamas.
Adam Carolla
From the river to the sea from the river to the sea Every piece of toxic. Anything that was ash. Ash. How much lighter do you get than ash? You know what I'm saying? Ash is. It's all covered in ash. It's all burnt to the ground. There's torrential rainstorms. And you've heard the term sea level. Sea level means low. It means the lowest. Nobody ever trains at altitude in Santa Monica. You have to go up into the mountains. So it all goes into the sea. And it's all been washed in the sea. Now, if we'd been able to clean up the lots in a timely fashion, then A, we could get the fuck on with our lives. But B, all this shit wouldn't have gotten washed into the ocean, which, by the way, are these people's favorite place to talk about. The ocean, the dolphins, the sea life. What about the marine life? What about the Coastal Commission? Well, I don't know. All right, come on, now. Come on, man. I told you. I'll tell you the songs here now. All right? You're right.
Jason Mayhem Miller
I love this song.
Adam Carolla
I told you.
Jason Mayhem Miller
It's like. Oh, it's warming my heart.
Adam Carolla
Don't put it on me. I did a perfect rendition of this song. It was spot on.
Jason Mayhem Miller
I was waiting for it to hit the high note.
Adam Carolla
As a matter of fact, you close your eyes, you might think I'm singing right now.
Jason Mayhem Miller
That's not you.
Adam Carolla
You think we don't know?
Jason Mayhem Miller
I thought this was you on the truck.
Adam Carolla
Nick closed his eyes.
Nick Davis
I'm back in Greece.
Adam Carolla
I feel like the movie or the country, see? All right, so lonely rivers flow.
Jason Mayhem Miller
He said lonely river.
Adam Carolla
No, he'll get. Dawson will get me.
Jason Mayhem Miller
It's because it's like the deep, deep cut, like the six bar chords of the lyrics.
Adam Carolla
Oh, you know, Meaning you already came and went home.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Out of the tape, and it's Barney just looking at me on the Channel three.
Adam Carolla
All right, so Dawson will find it. Look, here's the point. It's raining again. Well, that's a super Tramp song, by the way. And it's all in the fucking ocean. And it's been two months and they haven't moved a ditch of rubble out of that place. They've not moved one burnt futon out of that entire place.
Jason Mayhem Miller
How are you going, Ace? I'll go up there with a shovel.
Adam Carolla
You know, so it's a weird. It's a strange thing. Sorry. You got lonely river flows.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Oh, oh, you're right.
Adam Carolla
To the sea. To the sea. Taking toxic ash to the sea. All right, we don't have anyone in charge. Like there needs to be. You know what? LA doesn't have a traffic czar. No one's in charge of traffic. If I was traffic czar, I'd have a whole bunch of shit and a whole bunch of ideas to implement. We don't have someone in charge of anything here. We got a bunch of dumb bitches who want to do process, who do nothing. They don't want to do anything. So we're not going to do anything. And it's weird, but LA doesn't like people who do things. So we get angry at people who do things. They can't stand them. They can't stand dudes going. We got to come in here and here's what we're going to do. Listen to this. It's two months old now, but let's listen to this. All right, I just made a quick clip. And the number one thing that we are going to do immediately and you will see this happen, is to clear out the debris. But the people are willing to clean out their own debris. It doesn't cost. They can.
Andrew
I just think you have to allow.
Adam Carolla
The people to go on this site and start the process tonight. And we will. Well, Mayor, we're not. You're not going to let anyone do anything. Why would you. They don't. LA doesn't let anyone do anything. Why would you let people go to their own property and clear it out? But hey, bitch, it's on the ocean now, so good luck, dolphins. Have fun.
Nick Davis
Tuna, to tie this all together. I actually have A joke written here. It's Karen Bass. It's fires. It's ufc.
Adam Carolla
Wow.
Nick Davis
Francis. The fire marshal is set for his featherweight bout against Myron Santos Saturday. Interestingly, Los Angeles Mayor Kayaron Bass weighed in on the young athlete, telling reporters, if he ever expects to fight in Los Angeles, I'm afraid he'll have to change his fire marshal nickname because, of course, he's not a giant lesbian.
Adam Carolla
That's a special joke for this occasion.
Jason Mayhem Miller
We appreciate it, bro.
Nick Davis
All right, so does everybody know that all the fire chiefs in LA are John.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Leslie, buddy. We cover it extensively.
Nick Davis
Anybody knows.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Did you know that one killed the other?
Nick Davis
That I did.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Well, breaking news, bro. She did. Allegedly. The investigation is still ongoing.
Adam Carolla
One got fired and the other got killed by her husband. Wife.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Yeah, whatever, Hubby.
Adam Carolla
Wife.
Jason Mayhem Miller
You're right. Exactamundo.
Adam Carolla
I do, though, I'll tell you, I do respect that lesbian couple because I don't like lesbian couples where one of them doesn't declare the male role in the lesbian couple. I like lesbian couples where one dude. Standard, one chick charades as a dude. Got the butch haircut, wears the flannel.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Only missing the mustache.
Adam Carolla
Everything but the mustache. Drives a ram.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Yes.
Adam Carolla
You know, does all that always. Never riding shotgun. Beefy.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Yeah, yeah.
Nick Davis
Jacket frayed. Frayed shoulders.
Adam Carolla
Yeah.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Has done deadlifting.
Adam Carolla
Truckers. Truckers. Yeah.
Nick Davis
I don't want to squint from far away to have to tell who's the guy.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. I like. I like when they declare major. All right, so there's that. So anyway, all the ashes in the sea, all the pollution. I don't know, like, how many more times? Let's just do this math, all right? I live on a hill. Many of the houses that have burned down were literally on the side of a hill. People don't really realize in LA people build on the side of a hill. I mean, you see it where. You ever walk through a neighborhood, like, up in the hills, and there's a vacant lot for sale? And it's just this vacant lot, and you look up and it's like, that's just a hill. What do you mean? And I built those houses in the past. Like, when I used to build. They come in, they excavate, they dig out the garage. They'll excavate, they'll build retaining wall behind the garage, and that'll go up, and they'll put some caissons in the ground, and you're looking at what you think is the side of a steep hill, and it's a lot for sale. So then a lot of those houses on my street are on the side of the hill. And then when they burn down, you don't even. It's weird. It doesn't register as a house missing because when you walk, you just. You see a vista. It doesn't look like a house should have been there because it's just the hill now. So when it rains, it's the side of a steep hill. Your house was there, and it's burnt to the ground. It rains, it just flows right on down and goes right across bch and it's in the ocean. There's no other way for it to go. How much toxic material residue could be left on the side of a hill where. There was a fucking mudslide on the hill and it took it all down into Duke's restaurant. Like, isn't everything okay? Let's just say I lived up in the hills and I like to cook meth and I like a lot of synthetic fiber material. Like, I wore a lot of rayon because I was a class act. And I cooked a lot of meth.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
Once my home, meth lab and rayon closet burnt to the ground once it rained and there was a mudslide, that was essentially my house rolling down into Duke's restaurant. Well, then isn't my property clear of whatever residue you would find my meth lab and rayon shirts at Duke's.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Jesus did the work.
Adam Carolla
That's right. It took it out. Now we're looking at footage of the ocean which has turned into a beautiful slime mold because everything just went down the hill into the ocean.
Jason Mayhem Miller
And that's Altadena, isn't it?
Adam Carolla
But we could have cleaned up the mess before the fucking rains killed the dolphins.
Jason Mayhem Miller
They burned down the wrong neighborhood.
Nick Davis
I don't think Barbie's gonna rebuild there.
Adam Carolla
Barbie's dream Malibu house probably took her Corvette and faced it toward Nevada full of Corvette. Fuck this. Yes, and if Barbie's dream Corvette burned down, then that would be more melting, hazardous way. Yes. Everything went down this hill and went into Duke's restaurant.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Aloha.
Adam Carolla
So that's where I live. I live by Duke's. And listen, I don't say Dukes deserve to be condemned or flooded, but their calamari suck ass. They did the worst fucking calamari ever. Don't do calamari where you do the whole squid arm. And then I'm chewing on it like I'm blowing. Like I'm trying to fucking swallow a dildo. Make the hoops of calamari.
Joel Lambert
They don't like the legs. You don't like the tentacles?
Adam Carolla
No.
Joel Lambert
Oh, they're so good.
Adam Carolla
The only good part about the calamari, look, whenever you deep fry something, it's an apology, you know what I mean? You deep fry shit because you're going, I know you really don't like it. It's either deep frying or we're wrapping it with bacon. You know when people go, oh man, they do. You ever do the liver with chestnut? With the bacon it's like no one eats liver, just liver. Because it's wrapped, they don't like it, it tastes like shit. You gotta wrap it in bacon. You either wrap it in bacon or you deep fry. But anyway, their calamari sucks. They don't deserve what they got. But the point is, is there is nothing toxic left on any lots to clean up anymore. Cause it's all in the fucking ocean. That's all. So now we should be able to clean up our mess because the only thing left is, you know, I beams and wood and foundation. And all the stuff that was ash and toxic is gone. It's swept away.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Just sprays 409 on it.
Adam Carolla
All right, so it's been two months, that's it. There's no anything, there's no updates, there's no nothing. And the answer is why not? And the answer is because they don't fucking want to. That's it. There's shit they want. And you'll know what they want. They wanted to close the schools during COVID So they fucking snapped into action. And they wanted Tinhorn Flats, my friend's restaurant over there. They wanted to shut down outdoor dining during COVID And there was a fence around the place in two days. Cuz they didn't comply. So shit they want. Try owing them money, see how that works out. In terms of what they want, they want that stuff. What they don't want is you and your property being cleaned up. Let's see, they reported Monday paperwork had been filed with Los Angeles ethics commission after initially filed with the state of California last week. Filing allows opponents of Mayor Bass to raise money so they can recall.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Yeah, all right, that's a good idea.
Adam Carolla
Listen to me. It's our fucking fault for hiring hood ornaments instead of engines. We need engines need to run the fucking city. The, the hood ornaments just there for display. We go, oh, she's a black, she's a woman of color. To be the first woman of color. Yeah, the first dumbo who doesn't give a shit who wants to go to Ghana. Yeah, we'll have the first one. But don't expect her to do anything. She's not gonna do anything. She's a hood ornament. We didn't hire her. We didn't elect her because she was good at shit. We elected her so we could pat ourselves on the back for having the first female of color run California, even if she doesn't know. Or run Los Angeles, even if she doesn't know how to run anything.
Nick Davis
It'd be cool if we could have some type of a mannequin on the move situation with the ornaments where something springs her to life and then she starts doing action that, like, we hit.
Adam Carolla
Her with jumper cables.
Nick Davis
Have you seen Mannequin on the Move? I feel like that's your wheelhouse. That's like late 80s, early 90s. I thought that would really spark something. Nothing.
Adam Carolla
Hold on. I have seen the movie Mannequin.
Nick Davis
Yeah. There's Mannequin, and I think the sequel might have been Mannequin on the Move. My bad.
Adam Carolla
I don't roll that deep into the mannequin franchise. Did you see Mannequin Breaking Training? Electric Boogaloo? I know your head's good.
Nick Davis
I'm excited. Mannequin elected office.
Adam Carolla
Who was Mannequin? Oh, now I need to see the trailer for Mannequin. Mannequin one had. What's her name? From Sex and the City. The bitchy one who's always beefing with Sarah Jessica Parker. Kim Cattrall. She was the mannequin.
Nick Davis
Miranda.
Adam Carolla
No, not Miranda.
Nick Davis
Oh, not Miranda. Samantha.
Adam Carolla
Samantha.
Joel Lambert
Both of you failed that task.
Adam Carolla
Andrew McCarthy. That was the first one. She was a mannequin who came to life.
Nick Davis
I did that on purpose. So you didn't think I was gay?
Adam Carolla
Got her on the first time. Yeah. You forgot Monterey that weekend. I know. Nick. Hey, Nick. All right. Sorry. We have long ago in a faraway camp.
Joel Lambert
Do not draw that sword unless you.
Adam Carolla
Intend to use it. Sir. A dashing prince and his lady fair ran into a few problems. A symbol of our eternal love. You have cursed my gift. Oh, he turned her into a manicure. So she meets a true love from another land. And that is the legend of Hauptman Koenig's enchanted peasant girl.
Andrew
A thousand years later. Jason Williams and started a new job.
Adam Carolla
Well, lucky you. It seems we have an opening on Mr. Montrose's staff.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Give me cheekbones.
Adam Carolla
I'll give me death and find 2.5.
Nick Davis
Billion women in the world. And I'm trying to score with a statue.
Adam Carolla
There is definitely something wrong with me. By the way. Hold on a second.
Nick Davis
That chick.
Adam Carolla
That chick's. No. Oh, that's mannequin one. This chick's acting is so bad that all she has to do is wake up from being a mannequin, and I didn't buy it.
Nick Davis
I agree.
Adam Carolla
I didn't buy her waking up.
Jason Mayhem Miller
You're right.
Adam Carolla
Show her again. She. She's such a bad actress that she can't even wake up from being a mannequin without me going. I don't know. Let's try another one. Let's get another Wake up. Huh?
Nick Davis
There is definitely something wrong with me. Who's untight?
Adam Carolla
Dankashan. You're welcome. Whoa. Oh, that's the Bodevillian stuff.
Nick Davis
Why are you moving what she got.
Jason Mayhem Miller
After a 10 century snooze?
Adam Carolla
The lights are beautiful. How does it all work?
Andrew
Well, she's got some catching up to do.
Nick Davis
It's diet soda. No calories, no sugar, no caffeine.
Adam Carolla
Oh, we had something like that back home called water. Who's in the bathroom?
Nick Davis
No questions, please.
Adam Carolla
We do not fall in love with empty things.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Unless, of course, that daddy's a rich.
Adam Carolla
And in this case, her dad is gonna have sex with her as a mannequin. It's not what you think.
Nick Davis
Honestly. Ahead of its time, dummy.
Andrew
Oh, the count is here to preview the display.
Adam Carolla
Are you sure you're supposed to get in the daylight? Get back. I want to see the Enchanted. Is that me? Shack Taylor, where is God? This is the most 80s movie ever.
Jason Mayhem Miller
How do you miss this?
Adam Carolla
I didn't know they made a mannequin too.
Jason Mayhem Miller
All right, Aim for the heart.
Adam Carolla
1991. But you know, you gotta. You can pause it. You gotta remember, it's like you go the 60s, but 1961 guys dressed like they were in the 50s.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
Because no one at the end of the decade just bought a full cool paisley vest and grew a ponytail. They still looked like. They look like movies that are from like 90, 91, 92, 93 play just like 80s, same technology. They shoot them a year in advance. And all the fashion and all the music and all, everything just drifts right on in to the next decade. Meshach Taylor was in 1 and 2.
Jason Mayhem Miller
An official gay dude.
Adam Carolla
He was the official gay dude of Designing Women.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
Wasn't he in design?
Jason Mayhem Miller
He was the official gay dude at that time. I don't know his name, but. And I didn't know that the name of Designing Women, but I remember him. And during that era, he was the black gay representative.
Adam Carolla
We used to have the official gay dude. And with official black Gay dude.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Margaret Cho was the official Asian lady.
Adam Carolla
And we had the official fat person.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
So it's like two guys all. All of Hollywood, just two fat guys.
Nick Davis
Like, yeah, you've got one. Once one overdoses, we move the next.
Jason Mayhem Miller
One push the ribs, you know, like.
Adam Carolla
If you had a son.
Nick Davis
Roll him in like Violet Beauregard.
Adam Carolla
If you had a son in the, like, let's just say it was 1975, all right? And you had a 20 year old son and the son was like. And you were living in Michigan and it was 1975 and he was 20 and he said to you, I want to move out of Flint. I want to move to Hollywood. I won't become an actor. I would say to the guy, I've known you for 20 years, you know, you're my son. You don't seem gifted and you don't seem particularly funny and you got your mom's look, so you're not striking. But it's 1975. If you just put on £80, you could work as the fat guy for the next 15 to 20 years. Now, the heart may go out early, but there's only room for like two fat guys in Hollywood. And you will play the fat guy now if you want to, you can also grow full biker beard and play the biker fat guy who's just always. You won't have lines, they'll just put a cutoff jean jacket on and you'll stand next to the pool table looking angry as the fat guy with the beard. So you can do both. You do fat guy or biker? Fat guy. If you want to grow a beard. And you will work. Because we only had a couple of fat guys, couple of bikers, couple of gay dudes. Meshach Tavare's the only black gay. You corner the market.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Standardized.
Adam Carolla
That's right. And you never stop working. Or you could go and go out on auditions and struggle for the fucking rest of your life. I never get anything.
Nick Davis
That little pep talk that, that dad gave his 20 year old son is exactly why I didn't tell anyone I was moving to California. I would have got a lot of why.
Adam Carolla
Well, why don't we have a hoagie and think about this son?
Nick Davis
And I didn't know about the weight gain option either, so.
Adam Carolla
Oh, well, you moved here too late because we decided A, was unfair to make fun of fat people and B, everyone got fat. So now we have our pick of the litter. Like you can go to any mall or amusement park and find a ton of morbidly obese People, now we have.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Like, the fragmented fat guys, you know what I mean? You got Burt Kirchner, the fat drunk guy. You know what I mean? You got fat regular guy. Like, there's, like, every flavor of fat. Funny guy.
Adam Carolla
We're lousy with fat. We don't need it anymore. But there was a time when you could work as fat.
Nick Davis
There is a new. I don't think it was in the 90s. The gay fat guy, nimble on his feet.
Jason Mayhem Miller
He was there.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, yeah, yeah. You brought up earlier.
Nick Davis
I was born in 87, so I was just talking about Festive Bear there.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, yeah, we're talking about sniveling, I think, as being the worst.
Nick Davis
Yes.
Adam Carolla
Fat guys snivel. They're snivelers. You know what I mean? Like, when you think about. Picture Jurassic Park. Remember Newman from Seinfeld? And it's so cool. They play the best snivelers. They're always like, don't eat me first. Don't eat me first. You know what I mean? Like, they're great. Somehow the extra weight makes it more pathetic when they grovel.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Yeah, they're jowls.
Adam Carolla
Snivel.
Jason Mayhem Miller
They grovel.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, they got jowl. Yeah, their jowls look scary.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Yeah, exactly.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, they're snivelers. We used to have fat snivelers, and it was so pathetic. You fat ass. I hope the dinosaur eats you first.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Oh, here we go.
Adam Carolla
He does a great sniveling fat guy.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Yep.
Adam Carolla
And you know what? You can kill him. Because no one feels sorry for sniveling fat people. It's like you get what you get at some point. I know.
Jason Mayhem Miller
I love it. And he drops the Barbasol right here.
Adam Carolla
Yeah.
Nick Davis
And the slightest bit of effort, they look strained.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Right?
Adam Carolla
It's great. They're always sweaty. They're always sniveling. They're pathetic. You don't mind if they die. You really don't. And you're also like, this guy's. You know, what's, he gonna live another three years? Nice boy.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Nice boy. Oh, nice service.
Adam Carolla
Thought you were one of your big brothers. You're not so bad. You're not so bad. What do you want? What do you want? You want food? Look at me. I just fell down a hill. I'm sucking wet.
Andrew
I don't have any food.
Nick Davis
And the switch to confidence, to scare.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, yeah. They get a little bravado every once in a while, and then they puss out immediately, which is a part of the fat sniveler.
Nick Davis
Get necked down A peg or two.
Adam Carolla
Stick, stick, stick, stick. Stupid. Spend a lot of time with this dinosaur.
Nick Davis
Feeling movies in general. Letting it breathe.
Adam Carolla
I'm going to run you over when I come back down. We should just watch the whole movie. It's going to be better than anything we do. Be honest.
Jason Mayhem Miller
We're just all enraptured by Newman.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, enraptured. Sniveling. Sniveling. Pathetic. Also, when fat guys try to get away, it's always sad that can't get in their jeep because they're too fat. Hand rolls away. All right, now look, I will show my son this and go, look, this is going to be your role, but you will be working. This guy got paved. There was craft service. Probably had his own trailer.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Yeah. Put some weight gainer in his protein shake.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. All right, let's take a break. We got some news to get into, I do believe. And we'll do all that right after this. Hey, this is Adam Carolla from the Adam Carolla show.

I'll go Milwaukee, but Walt's good. Everything works now. But I would go Milwaukee on a drill, but get an impact driver, too. Get a drill and an impact driver.
Jason Mayhem Miller
You talk a 12 volt?
Adam Carolla
No, they're all like 18 or 22 or something. They're all getting big now, but the impact driver is a game changer.
Nick Davis
I have extremely soft hands, so I don't use tools. But I'm pro Milwaukee because of Wisconsin.
Adam Carolla
Oh, yeah. Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Milwaukee makes a lot of good stuff. Milwaukee used to just make sawzalls and now they make everything. Get the Milwaukee. All right. Sorry. Where were we? It's probably made in Korea, but get to Milwaukee.
Jason Mayhem Miller
They're made in Korea. No, I didn't know that. Usa.
Adam Carolla
Somebody can look it up, but I guarantee Milwaukee has a factory somewhere outside of the United States. States, I would assume, but I don't know. Andrew, you could see where Milwaukee. Maybe they make all their components in Korea and they assemble them in Milwaukee, where Laverne and Shirley used to work or something. I don't know. But we'll figure it out. Go ahead.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Hey, up first in the news, Democrats meltdown during Trump's address and the Internet takes notice.
Adam Carolla
Milwaukee tools are made in China, Germany, Mexico, the United States and Vietnam. So. So, yeah, they're big, they're worldwide, and I assume they got places everywhere.
Nick Davis
They have small factories in most of those countries and a big factory in the cheapest country.
Adam Carolla
Yes, that's probably how it works. Yeah. Little kiosks in Germany and then a huge one in Vietnam. All right, sorry. What happened?
Jason Mayhem Miller
Well, last night, addressed by President Trump, had no shortage of viral moments. Most of them at the expense of Democrats, once again proved they're not interested in leading, just in political theater.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, they're angry women, mainly. And you have to understand women are wired differently than men. And I'm telling, yeah, go ahead and show it. But you know what? Just for fun, Andrew, you can find Elise Stefanik. I think getting into it. Like Claudine Gay or whatever from Harvard. That's just women. That's just women. And when women get pissed, they get pissed. And when you fucking piss them off, and he pisses them off, and you go, so you just want a wide open border and we're gonna start a nuclear war with Russia? And they go, fine, I don't give a fuck. Just do it. Do it. See if I care. Know what I mean? When anyone has argued with a woman, at some point you go, listen, we're gonna have to sell the house and live on the street. And they go, I don't care. Let's just fucking live where we live. I never asked for this shit. And you go, you want to live out on the street? They go, I don't care anymore. All right, Nick? I don't even care. Sell the fucking house. We'll live in the street. They don't mean it. You just piss them off.
Nick Davis
I'm stubborn, though. We'll go live on the street. Who's gonna break first?
Adam Carolla
I threw a bitch out on Mulholland in the middle of the night. My friend Rudy was driving, and my friend Michelle was yelling the whole time, slow down, slow down, slow down. She's bitching. And Rudy drives a little, you know, with pace, you know, it's middle of the night on Mulholland. Nothing. Around two in the morning. And she's yelling at Rudy, slow down. Or let me out of this car. Let me out of this car. And at a certain point, I just go, rudy, let her out of the fucking car. And we pulled over in the middle of Mulholl in the middle of the night, said, get the fuck out of the car. Then you got your wish. And she just got out of the car, and we just left.
Nick Davis
And I feel like for the story, we should have her do something else to spur the kick out. No cell phone.
Jason Mayhem Miller
She earned it.
Adam Carolla
Nothing. Nothing. And Rudy's like, shouldn't we turn around and pick her up? I was like, she wanted. She yelled at you for the last two miles, and she said she wanted out of the car. Now she's out of the car. That's what she wanted, and we'll just keep driving, and that's what we do.
Nick Davis
Do you ever hear from her again?
Adam Carolla
Yeah, she was pissed. Amber, friend of mine, this is. You know, I was 19, but she was pissed. Yeah. Yeah. All right, so we have Claudine. I'll show you Claudine Gay with Elise Stefanik. This is just. It's just a chick telling another chick, hey, Bitch, do what I tell you to do. Based upon your testimony, you understand that this call for Intifada is to commit.
Dawson
Genocide against the Jewish people in Israel and globally. Correct?
Adam Carolla
I will say again, that type of hateful speech is personally abhorrent to me. Do you believe that type of hateful speech is contrary to Harvard's code of.
Dawson
Conduct, or is it allowed at Harvard?
Nick Davis
It is at odds with the values of Harvard.
Adam Carolla
Can you not say here that it.
Dawson
Is against the code of conduct at Harvard?
Adam Carolla
Not gonna say what you're saying, bitch.
Nick Davis
We embrace a commitment to free expression, even of views that are objectionable, offensive, hateful. It's when that speech crosses into conduct.
Adam Carolla
That violates our policies against bullying, harassment, does that speech not cross that barrier? Does that speech not call for the genocide of Jews and the elimination of Israel? She got fired because she wouldn't let this Republican bitch boss her around. So she's like, fuck you, bitch. Meanwhile, she's being filmed. And then later on they're like, you didn't condemn genocide, so now we gotta let you go. Yeah, but at that moment, and she was a woman. Not the President.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Yeah, I get it.
Adam Carolla
Not the President of Harvard. She's a fuck. It will live out in the street. Okay? Mayhem. Cuz I don't give a fuck. And you go, what are you gonna do? I don't need these clothes. I don't need a car, I don't need anything. Yeah, that's them being pissed. So Trump trolls them, they get pissed and then fucks them up. Because he goes, I got a plan. Let's not let that biological men compete with women in combat sports. And they go, well, fuck that. I want to close the border. And they go, you want to. What do you want to do? I want to close the border. Oh, okay, we ain't doing that. I'd like to cure leukemia. Oh, yeah, I don't think so. And then the problem is most America does think so. And then they get fucked. And that's what they're doing. So he's trolling them.
Nick Davis
Trump's got to sneak, sneak one in there. He'd be like, list them, list them. No, no, no. Free health care for all.
Adam Carolla
No. Gotcha. Right? Because that's basically what they're doing. They just do the opposite because they're angry women.
Nick Davis
He had the clip. He's like, there's nothing I could do here that would get that side to applause.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Yeah. Now strategy was strange too. They held up like bingo markers. Everybody was clowning on them online. They've officially Run out of ideas. Yeah, they said, and representative, I didn't catch this myself. Al Green got him. So yeah, here's the weird.
Adam Carolla
Also they have some weird thing which is like they think they have dominion over people they don't have dominion over, which is they do this thing where it's like, I think it was like Elon Musk was like, I don't know, trying to build a factory or something and some bitch and San Diego was like, elon, get the fuck out of here, you dope. We don't need you. And it's like, do you think Elon cares that you like AOC Calls Elon Musk an idiot. She thinks that has some kind of effect on how Elon Musk thinks of himself. But he's too busy firing rockets to Mars to worry about AOC and they have this weird thing where they think they're gonna upset Trump and they're gonna upset Elon Musk or J.D. vance. J.D. vance and Elon and Trump. Look at them as sea hags that are semi retarded. And then we would have a much better society if they would just go somewhere else and not govern anymore. And it's a weird, I always say it, it's like, like the Middle east does that. All the nut jobs. When we go, all right, well we're not gonna have the hostages, we're gonna have to bomb you. They go, you bomb us. You feel this sting of Al a sword upon your neck. They go, really? Because you guys, you don't have boots, you have sandals and your military is shit. That Russia was done with in the 50s. So no, I don't think this is how this is going down.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Does the fiery sword, is it a.
Adam Carolla
Sword of justice of Allah? I'll tell the guy flying the A10 warthog about, I'll tell him to look out for the sword of Allah.
Jason Mayhem Miller
What are you talking about? The 19 year old kid with a drone controller with the Xbox just.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, right.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Sending it down. Hellfire missiles.
Adam Carolla
We have Al Green getting kicked out. Oh, great.
Jason Mayhem Miller
I want to see that.
Adam Carolla
He seems like a guy whose hair I don't want to touch.
Nick Davis
He seems like my dad.
Adam Carolla
Oh really?
Nick Davis
He looks like a very Neanderthal look, heavy brow. I was, I was, I did not grow up with my father. So last night I was like, dad. But it's, it's very similar people. I've often gotten compared to the Geico Caveman since, since middle school. And I was seeing a lot of side by sides with him and the Geico Caveman. And I am the missing link.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. The underdeveloped frontal lobe globe. Pronounced cheek and brow areas. Yeah, you could be.
Nick Davis
I don't wear sunglasses because I don't need it.
Jason Mayhem Miller
I hate to tell you, your dad is getting primary.
Adam Carolla
All right, let's see him. Is he getting tossed out? Sir? Mr. Green, take your seat. Take your seat, sir. Take your seat. Also, he has a cane with a metal handle on it like you could El cabong someone. Concerted disruption.
Andrew
Oh, that happened on the floor.
Adam Carolla
In arms to restore. Remove this gentleman from the chamber. It's weird. He carries a cane but doesn't really walk with it. He kind of holds it. He uses it as a cudel. Yeah. Like Moses did with his staff. You know what I mean? They. It. It does. The part that's funny is they think they can upset the people like Trump and J.D. vance when they end up amusing the guys like Trump and J.D. vance because they look at them as dullards and idiots.
Nick Davis
I would have respected Pops more if they would have had to get physical with them. They get grabbed, go limp, shoot a single shot.
Adam Carolla
A single double. Yeah, that's when he respect pop. He's got his cane, but he doesn't use his cane. All right. Anyway, his hair seems very greasy. And it also seems like one of those things where I wouldn't want Al Green to sit on my linen sofa because I'd be like, if this guy leans back, there's going to be a weird slick on the top of my pillow. Like Jerry Curl. It looks like he's wearing. He must. Okay. He must use hair relaxer, right?
Jason Mayhem Miller
Oh, yeah, for sure. 100%.
Adam Carolla
Because he would have kinky thick hair.
Jason Mayhem Miller
I didn't grow with that same hair. It's as slimy as it looks.
Adam Carolla
Do they have. Do they have Afro Sheen anymore? You guys remember Afro the wave cap to bed?
Jason Mayhem Miller
Yeah.
Nick Davis
There wasn't a lot of curly hair where I'm from.
Adam Carolla
Afro. It looks like someone took a skunk's tail and dipped it in mineral oil and taped it to the back of his fucking head. Like, I wouldn't let this guy. What if you had a new Ferrari with an Alcantara interior? It had the beautiful suede inserts in the seat. Would you want this fucking grease ball.
Jason Mayhem Miller
What did you have? And he walked right by it to catch on fire.
Nick Davis
It looks like a bundle of sage. I could cleanse the congressman.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Our agents made this ponytail.
Adam Carolla
The elder said Afro Sheen. Find me an Afro Sheen commercial from the 70s.
Jason Mayhem Miller
He's already got it.
Adam Carolla
Oh, okay. There is A there is from the 70s and early 80s. There is a product called Afrosheen. And I don't know, maybe I watched an episode of Soul Train or something, but it, it came on and people knew what it was when I was in high school. And I don't think it straightened your hair. It like kind of glossified it or something.
Nick Davis
So my pomade.
Adam Carolla
Your pomade? My dad, Jim Carolla had a full Afro. Yeah, he had a full afro. Yeah. All right, well, it's afro Sheen from 1978. Let's see what this is. Sure he's into Afro sheen, but I like doing my own thing. And I know Afro Sheen is great for hair that's natural or straight. Before I decide on what I'll do, I always start with Afro Sheen shampoo. I don't worry about my hair looking dry with conditioner and hairdresser standing by. And when there's a problem with itching and flakes, the medicated has got what it takes. When I want my look to say all right, a cornrow is really out of sight. Comb easy makes it a breeze to comb through and braid with natural ease and spray fusheen adds that extra toucheen yeah, he loves so much. I may change my hairstyles frequently, but change from Afro Sheen. Hey, not me.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Afro Sheen. That was a sexy ass commercial, man.
Nick Davis
I was really thinking I was about to hear the word giant turkey.
Jason Mayhem Miller
It was coming.
Adam Carolla
Black people respond to rhymes more than white people do. If the glove doesn't fit, you must acquit black people like, well, what are you gonna do? That guy rhymed something. He rhymed fit in a quit. So I guess we gotta do it like. That's why Nipsey Russell was so hot. Man, that guy rhymed everything. Black people love rhymes.
Nick Davis
And that's how I can prove my 2% congolese according to my 23andme because I'm honestly a sucker for rhymes.
Adam Carolla
You love rhymes too.
Nick Davis
I do, I do.
Adam Carolla
Well, just in time. All right. Al Green is getting escorted.
Nick Davis
That's actually my rap album in the nick of rhyme.
Adam Carolla
Well, that's good.
Nick Davis
And my cookbook in the nick of time.
Adam Carolla
All right, sorry. Where do we have. They're both good. Yeah. What story? Al Green, what else? We got another one.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Yeah, well, the rest of that, I mean, it was very interesting too, because the man. During the address, they had a disgraceful moment where President Trump honored a 13 year old cancer survivor and all the Dems just sat there.
Adam Carolla
Well, again, it's what I said. You can bait them into saying or doing anything.
Jason Mayhem Miller
But if you notice, the bait was Donald Trump. Trump had the cutest little black boy who had obvious cancer scars up and gave him not only some applause, but also made him an FBI agent. That to me was the viral moment. Heartwarming, but also strange because the Democrats didn't wanna give props to that. Which was the strangest thing. Cuz it's the cutest little black kid on earth from Texas. And you think that they will be happy somehow. But it just missed the mark.
Nick Davis
They're worried he's gonna release the Epstein files.
Adam Carolla
Exactly. The black kid's gonna walk into Pam Bondi's office and go, enough of this. Listen, my time on this plane is limited. I want to know who are on those flights.
Jason Mayhem Miller
But watch the wholesome lovability of this moment.
Adam Carolla
Okay, Jay, we're going to do you.
Andrew
The biggest honor of them all.
Adam Carolla
I am asking our new Secret Service.
Andrew
Director, Sean Curran, to officially make you an agent of the United States.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Now, ace, my opinion. Your opinion here. He's 13. Is that too old to hoist him like this? Especially when he's wearing a police uniform.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, we can pause it for a second. That's. That's when I knew Mark McGuire was juicing because his son was built like a butt plug. His son was. His son was like 39275 and he hit a home run and he went down plate and he just lift him. Like a feather? Yeah, like a feather. I was like, okay, okay. The ball traveling 600ft. I was like, I don't know, lifting that butt, that tub of goo. I was like, oh, he's juicing hard.
Nick Davis
So where is Little Mac nowadays? I wonder if he made it to the show.
Adam Carolla
Little Mac? Didn't McGuire's son make it to triple A or something? Yeah, he did something. He got. I don't know if he made it to the show. That's a good question. But yeah. So anyway, we can play the tape out. It doesn't matter.
Nick Davis
You can see him getting drunk with power already.
Adam Carolla
That's right. Everyone is a big hug.
Jason Mayhem Miller
And a big hug to the FBI director.
Adam Carolla
Right?
Jason Mayhem Miller
Such a weird wholesome moment.
Adam Carolla
But the. The ladies or the Dems didn't want to cheer.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Yeah. Later on they also. Donald Trump. Man, this thing was beautiful. It was hilarious. It was like comedy jam. Like it was some kind of strange thing. He also gave a. I don't know, gave the application, stamped the guy's application to military academy. I don't know if we pulled that, but it was a crazy. Yeah, it was A really crazy speech. He really laid out his victories. It was a whole different world.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, I watched a lot of it. It's the difference between the process people and the nuts and bolts. People like, you watch it and you go, I watched Joe Biden and Kamala Harris make a thousand speeches. They never say anything other than, we deserve a seat at the table and the child's gonna be left behind and we're better together in America. This and something about that sort of platitude. But I never hear any numbers, like, I never hear any plans. And I realize they're not interested in plans and their constituency isn't interested in a plan. I had a hippie mom. Her plan was no plan. She didn't want to do stuff. Part of it is lethargy. And also they're incompetent. They don't have ability, which is you have to kind of approach it. Let's really just think about it from a sort of pragmatic and semi mechanical approach. Right, so Palisades, Malibu, Altadena. Okay? So a bunch of structures burned down. Okay, So a bunch of stuff needs to be done because a bunch of structures burned down. Now, I used to build houses, and I've remodeled a million houses. I've built houses, and I've also rebuilt a ton of cars and done like nut and bolt restorations on cars. So if you say to me, we gotta rebuild this car or we're gonna put a master suite on the back of the house or whatever, then my mind just goes right there. I go, okay, we're gonna have to. Here's what we're gonna have to do. And I'll see it. I mean, you're gonna have to dig a footing. We're gonna have to get a pour in here. We're not gonna be able to get a truck. Can't get a cement truck into the back of the house. So we're gonna have to get a pumper. And that pumper is gonna. We have to put the truck on the street and the pumper, we'll pump it in the back. Or then you look out the back fence and you go, maybe we can use the neighbor's driveway. If we take down 8 foot of fencing, we can have the truck pull in. We'll put the pumper in the back. Okay. Okay. If you said that to my mom, she would just go, oh, let's smoke pot and eat and talk about this for a while. But she wouldn't know. We're going to dig foundation. We're going to put Number four rebar in there. We're going to form it up. We're going to put fucking J bolts in it. We need a pumper. Didn't know anything. She'd never done it. Her inclination wouldn't even be to do it or talk about it. It's foreign to her. And if you said to me, let's make a souffle, I'd probably go, I don't have a thing for that. I don't really know.
Jason Mayhem Miller
You need a pumper.
Adam Carolla
I need a pumper. So then you go, okay, Rick Caruso, commercial developer, built the Grove, built everything, right? And then you go, Karen Bass, lifelong fucking paper pusher Democrat, who sits in things and talks about feelings all day. All right? So when you tell. And then there's Trump, commercial builder. So when the Trump comes in and goes, hey, we gotta go, she goes, but why should she? She's never done any of it. I mean, let's not blame her. Let's blame the idiots who thought she would do any of this. So then two months goes by and nothing's been touched. And if you said to her, are you bothered by this? She'd go, I don't. I don't know, because I don't care, because I don't do this, because I haven't done it and I never will.
Nick Davis
You're a mannequin. You don't know how to do that.
Adam Carolla
Mannequin 2. If you said to Rick Caruso, does it bother you that. Nothing. He'd go, I'm going out of my fucking mind. I'm going out of my mind. I'm ready to start hiring my own demo crew to come in here.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Like make LA the Grove again.
Adam Carolla
Yes. So they don't do anything. They only have process, and all they want to do is talk about the process. And when somebody shows up who does stuff, they get angry at that person and they actually resent the person because that person represents their inadequacies. What that person does is that person shows up and goes, oh, you don't owe shit and you don't do anything. So get the fuck out of the way and I'll do something. That's why they get angry when there's homeless people flopped out all over the front of restaurants. And at some point, the guy owns the restaurant after he calls the city for two years trying to get the homeless removed, and they do nothing. At some point, the guy puts a planter out front and a Texas privet in it. Type of shrub. My building background. And what's the city do the city shows up and tells him he's got to move the planter, otherwise he's going to get into trouble. But he shamed the city because he went into action. And if anyone in Malibu shows up and starts clearing their own lot, you will be arrested by the city. And then the city will force all of this on its ire on you because you got a group of people that doesn't do anything. I come from a long line of these people. I've studied them up close. I lived in the same house, they didn't like it. I literally told. We got Matthew McGuire. He's not in the show, but he works in the business. I guess the business would be the baseball business or the show business. The business. He's in the business. Oh, he's got Max McGuire's got another son, first baseman, outfield, Saint Louis University junior Mason McGuire. Oh, he's one of these guys who picks a fucking letter.
Nick Davis
Yeah. The sister to rhyme. I'm actually a fan.
Adam Carolla
Oh, what a. Alliteration.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Alliteration.
Adam Carolla
Alliteration, yeah. You know who else does that? Jimmy does that. Jimmy's family's guy.
Jason Mayhem Miller
I prefer onomatopoeia.
Adam Carolla
Joan and Jill and Jean and Jimmy.
Jason Mayhem Miller
No. Oh, yeah, I remember that.
Nick Davis
Yeah, The Basils that lived down the block. For me, they were Joe, Julie, Jordan, Justin, and then.
Adam Carolla
I. Jerry, not Justin the first. Yeah, like you're gonna get called out on that. But I like accuracy. That's one of the first conversations I ever had with Jimmy is I just go, I don't know. My buddy Ray came up and I'm like, he comes from one of those jack off families. His mom, he's got his brother Rich, he's got his Ray, he's got another brother Rob. And everyone has to do this fucking letter thing. And Jimmy just goes, I'll tell that to my brother John and my sister Jill and my. My mom Joan and my dad Jeff. He said, I'll tell that to them. He's such a prick. He doesn't say, well, we got that kind of family. He goes, I'll just tell that to. And I'm like, who's he gonna tell that to? And then named everybody in his family that started with a J. But that's the way he would do it, right?
Jason Mayhem Miller
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
All right. Joe Lambert is ex Navy seal, who's gonna join us in a moment, who's waiting on deck over there, speaking of the McGuires. So he's got another son that played at San Juan Capistrano or something, but none of his kids are in the show, right. Maguire. Sorry. Not Joel. All right, so in summation, there's a bunch of angry chicks, and they don't want to do anything, and Trump and Elon want to do everything, and they want to hurry. And people who don't. You know how people who work at a certain place, this happens a lot to Syndrome. They fucking loaf around, and then some point, some guy shows up and he's got a lot of ideas and he's getting there early and he's staying late, and that guy resents that guy and starts talking shit about that guy. But all that guy is, is resentful that somebody's showing up and fucking working and making you look like the lazy sack of shit that you are.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
So who do you resent, really? And if you do, go find a fucking mirror to figure out who you resent. You resent a guy who's working and he's making you look bad. But what really does that mean? It means you don't want to work. So don't resent him. Go resent yourself and get a work ethic. And that's what we have in la. We have a bunch of people that don't do anything who resent people who want to do stuff, and then they fight them when they want to do it. That's all. The Coastal Commission is a successful person. You want to do something? Not on my watch, because that would bring shame upon me. All right, Nick, you said it all.
Nick Davis
I do want to say, when I started here, it was the beginning of my career. It was almost 10 years ago now, and you gave me a lot of confidence working around here. You said almost in so many words, you're the only one around here who's not half a fairy. That gave me a ton of confidence.
Adam Carolla
Started with an F, I think it may have ended with a G, but keep going.
Nick Davis
And it was just this. This helped me so much, and it was like a bucket list item, one day to come on as a guest. And so it's just really awesome that I got to. So thanks for having me.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Sick, man.
Adam Carolla
Well, you know, you're a success story. One of the few, few success stories from ACS, so God bless you, combat buddy.

Well, ex Navy SEAL Joel Lambert, or maybe there's never an ex Navy seal, maybe you're always a Navy seal is joining us. He's got a book out called A Navy seal's bug in guide to how to turn your house into the safest place on earth. And it's available now as we speak. Lots of distinctions for Joel. Done some acting, too. Been an American Sniper and Patriots Day. But also was a lead instructor for buds, which I believe stands for basic underwater Demolition, as I recall, SEAL training.
Andrew
That's it.
Adam Carolla
SEAL training out here in California back in the day. Good to see you.
Andrew
Yes, sir. Thank you. Thanks for having me on. Been a fan, of course, since the 90s and real happy to be on here and happy to see all the stuff you've been putting up and standing up for. So thank you for that. Very grateful for people like you with platforms that are speaking reason to the insanity.
Adam Carolla
Well, you know, it is interesting. I've had a number of Navy SEALs and folks of that ilk on the show over the years. And I don't know in advance when people come on this show, you know, I have comedians, I have actors. You know, I'll run into guys that are like hardcore lefty, you know, almost militant lefty, like an actor, a comedian or something. I didn't even know where they stood. But whenever I hear Navy seal, I'm like, all right, we're simpatico. We're gonna be on the same page. But how do I know? Well, I know we will be. Cause I played football and I did construction. So I know I'm dealing with someone who lives in the real world. And there's no more real world than being a Navy seal.
Andrew
No, you come face Adam. You come in the buds. Basically Underwater demolition, SEAL training. The whole point of buds, and I was an instructor after going through myself, is we are peeling with a razor blade, a scalpel like an onion, peeling layers of their existence off and exposing it to the air and the sunlight. And what happens is you either get to the core and you in hell week, or someplace around there you have. You stare into the void and you get to see the very nugget you're exposed to the core of your soul, the very nugget of your existence. And if it's good, great, you come back out and you're able to move on. But if there's a rotten spot somewhere on the way in, that's what we're doing to screen people out. So it's an exposure process. And so the guys that have gone through, even the ones that may have other issues, and there's a lot of us that have a lot of issues, you know, that the very core of their soul, they've been into a journey to the very nugget of their existence and come back out because that's the screening process.
Adam Carolla
I've had many a seal and it totally makes sense. Explain to me that it's really mostly mental and that the guys that are jacked and the high school football studs and everything tend to flame out faster than the guys who just have the grit and the right mental mindset.
Andrew
That's exactly right. I always say it's 100% mental and it's 100% physical. But what it is is the mental is the make or break. And we get to their mind, we break their mind by going through the body. So we put the mental pressure on the person by giving them physical pain and in copious amounts of discomfort and putting them in situations under extreme amounts of duress, especially underwater. And those are the things that will break someone mentally, but we do it through the body. That's why, you know, team guys are usually very physical. Even though, like you said, the ones that are jacked and the ones that are, that we call them as instructors, we would always call them gazelles because these are the kids that in high school they were, you know, they were state champion wrestlers or sprinters or something like that, or they're NCAA wrestlers or something. And they never lost. They don't know what it's like to lose. They don't know what it's like to have your dick dragging in the dirt, bloody and beaten, completely demolished by whatever it is you're going up against and have to keep going after you've been mentally demolished. They don't know what it's like. So the guys that are used to getting kicked in the dick over and over and over throughout their life, they're the ones that do pretty well because they're able to handle that kind of just mental stress of not being able to cruise through and, you know, cruise across the finish line, throw the, throw the great game winning touchdown and then go to prom with the head cheerleader.
Adam Carolla
You know, I completely agree. And I was thinking about this, which is I put this theory together. I started to notice that the guys who were former professional football players, who were offensive linemen moved on and we're having success in business and in the booth and all that kind of stuff. And I was just talking about this with the Rams. Let's see, we got to look this one up. Andrew. Andrew. I think the guy's name is Andrew. Who just retired from the Rams. He had the gray beard, made the Super Bowl. Retired like two years ago. Andrew something. He's a giant guy. Giant guy. But he's up in the booth, he's doing great. Wentworth. I think his name is Wentworth. Anyway, I met him. Fucking guy's huge, by the way. But anyway, I met the guy and he's doing great. Andrew Whitworth. And I told him I feel like the guys who are the offensive linemen are doing better outside of the league, in business and beyond than the ball hawk bonus baby guys who scored all the touchdowns. Because the guy you're used to slugging it out in the trenches and giving it up, you have to be very giving and you cannot be selfish. Cuz all you're doing is blocking for the guy who's getting all the cheerleaders and the attention and he's on the COVID of the newspaper. You're trying to push a 300 pound guy around and getting no credit. But then that mentality, once you go out into the world and you have to collaborate and do business is a much better attitude to have. And so offensive linemen who you think are big dumb oafs turn out to be to do much better once they leave the league than the guys who run the 4, 2 forties.
Andrew
Totally. They're the ones that are used to getting run over by the defensive linemen. You know, they're used to taking the hits. And the guys we get that come in that aren't used to taking the hits, and particularly the mental hits, the ones that have always, you know, they've always been the fastest guy, they've always been the strongest guy, they've always, they're used to winning. You get to buds. There is something in that screening process and in life as a Navy SEAL that will crush you, that will destroy you. There will be something that you're not great at and how do you handle having to deep down dig down into that very core and find something to be able to get you through something you're not good at. And you can't breeze through some guys, that's everything in buds. But other guys, we'd have guys. I had a guy when I first started training. He was a professional triathlete. I mean, he was sponsored by Cytomax and all these different. He had all this free stuff and nobody ever found out why he joined the Navy. He got in trouble somehow, but he was a professional triathlete. And he would lap collegiate swimmers in the pool. And 100 meters, he'd be lapping collegiate swimmers, running. He was the one who would sing our cadence for the instructors because he was the only one who had breath on the runs in the sand. And that guy. On a room inspection, on a Monday morning, room inspections, the instructors come and they stand outside your room and they go in. Really, it's an excuse to just mess with you. You know, they come in your room and if they find any hits of detailing or cleanliness issues or disorganization, three hits and you fail. And then you get sent to the surf and you get beaten for several hours. You know, push ups and pull ups and eight count bodybuilders and things like that. And he quit on a room inspection. This guy was just jogging along. All the brutal physical stuff was cake for. But the mental pressure of someone yelling at him in his face and humiliating him during a room inspection broke his soul. And he quit. And that was like two weeks in. So it's a very. It's different than what people think. They think, you know, you're just going to charge through and be punching.
Jason Mayhem Miller
It's more.
Andrew
It's like Rocky says, it's how many punches you can hit and keep. And you can take and keep moving forward. How much can you take and keep going forward? That's the key.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. And then that just translates into every facet of life.
Andrew
Exactly.
Adam Carolla
And I don't think people in character. Oh, in character. And I don't think people understand really what's going on when we're sort of messing with character and telling people that. You know, I get in arguments with people, it's like, don't take that Ozempic. And they're like, why not lose a few pounds? Like, what's wrong? And I'm like, cause you're losing your character. You want to have to have to say, I would like to have a piece of cheesecake. But you know what? I'm not gonna do it. Cause it's not good for me. Or I would like whatever that thing is. We are now trying to deprive especially young males of those things because we look at them as hostile or dangerous or somehow. Oh, it's toxic masculinity. No, it is not. We need it. We're depriving people of it. We're getting really bad citizens. We're having character issues and we're getting a bunch of fat, lazy, angry people. It's not a good plan.
Andrew
I think it's an aspect of this world war, this fifth generation, World War Three that we're in. It's destroying the truth of who and what we are so that they can bring a counterfeit in and get us to think a different way, the way that they want us to think and to create the world that they want to exist in. Which is not something that I'm going to exist in.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, I'm the same way. And I can't figure out whether it's like nefarious or lazy. Like, I can't figure out if there's a bigger plan to. Essentially it's like, like I know the Russians love us to argue about race and so does China. They love that we just sit here all day and argue about something that doesn't basically exist in this country. Because every second we spend having some sort of race based argument is another second they can move their military ahead. So they must be enthralled with the fact and then that we have, that we elect stooges like Biden who get up there and agitate about race. Every fucking speech they must be laughing their ass off at the notion that this is all we do. So maybe that's a nefarious part of it. And remember when the Russian bots were getting involved with the election? Most of the stuff didn't have anything to do with Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump. It was all mostly race based. So we take the bait.
Andrew
We do. And I think I'm fairly convinced it's fully intentional. This is. Are you familiar with Yuri Besmanov?
Adam Carolla
You probably are, sure?
Andrew
Yes. So it's all laid out. This is all strategic in my opinion. I think it comes back to the Tavistock Institute, social engineering and conditioning. We are so programmed. And we've been seeing it, especially in the last five or ten years. Human beings are so easily programmed. We're walking computers. You just write some software into us and they can get us to do anything we want. In fact, in the 60s, what's his name? During I think the Warren Commission or something, or the church hearings or something, the director of the CIA said, give me three months and I can make any person hate their parents. And I can make any person think.
Adam Carolla
Anything I want them to right now, it doesn't work on you and it doesn't work on me. Because we went through things in our past and we cannot be malleable or as easily manipulated as some folks can. I call it crate training. They gotta get the pup when he's young to crate train him. They can't get old dogs like us. We can't be crate trained. It's too late for us. So that's why they're so interested in your kids. Because if they can get those kids young, then they can train them up and they can get them to do what they want to do. But the real question for me is then, and where does CNN factor into this? And. Or many politicians, are they all useful idiots or are they on the payroll? Or how do you parse that out?
Andrew
I think it's USAID and all the aid, and I think they've moved in and they've taken control of so many things. It all comes back to the central banks, Adam. It's the central banks and the fiat currency and that is the control system that they use to debt enslave us. I mean, the amount of slavery that the wealth they are extracting from humanity and the control that they're exercising over it is the central bank and taking us off the gold standard. And boy, you send me down some rabbit holes here, my friend.
Adam Carolla
I get it. But the thing that's kind of interesting is the people who sort of per capita feel the strongest about these subjects are people with experience like yourself. And so on one hand you go, well, some of this stuff sounds pretty crazy to the average American. On the other hand, who's more pragmatic than a Navy seal, you know, like you're not a middle age housewife who wants to believes her cat thinks he's a person and who wants to go get her fortune told. So what you would say, so let's try to square this off for a second. I'm just gonna break it down. You would go, a Navy seal, okay, that has to be the most pragmatic person in the world. There are jobs that need pragmatists. Airline pilot, construction engineer, their jobs. And then there's the DEI counselor at the college, you know what I mean? She doesn't need to know all anything or do anything. There's no consequence. There's no gravity. But Navy SEAL, okay, now per capita, the Navy SEALs have more of the kind of thoughts you're sharing with me than the average superstitious housewife. So you go, well, how are the Most pragmatic people in the world sharing ideas that seem, I don't know, tin foil hatty to a lot of people. And then you go, well, one of the other components of being a Navy SEAL is traveling and seeing things and going to parts of the country where this stuff is playing out. It's not really playing out here we have protests on college campuses and then everyone goes and eats, but we don't have real life and death shit playing out. So you have experience as a Navy seal. You go to these places where this stuff is in full effect and you, you have a job, but you also have ears and eyes. So how do you square all this?
Andrew
Well, and if I could add one thing to that, we also, especially since I've been out of the teams, I've been out of the SEAL teams for a long time. All my friends now are, have worked or are working at CIA, nsa, dia, you know, blackrock friends, sbs, you know, SAS guys, you know, we have all the people we communicate with and we work with globally are all like us. And they're all move on a lot of times to careers in government and in the intelligence agencies. And so we have connections. And so it's not just me traveling and what I think and my proclivities, because the kind of man I am, but it's that I know these people. I know people who are in the Tactical Operations center when Benghazi went down. I know the guy that was running that. I know people that were on the ground that got the stand down order and things like that. So when I tell people what really happened and they go to MSNBC and they say, well, no, that's not what really happened. I'm like, well, I know people that were there, you know, tell me about what Brian Selter just told you. You know, it's a very different way, a different, you're seeing a very different part of the world.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, no, I am. No, you make a very good point, which is once they leave the team, they go into the sometimes private sector, but they go into that world as a continuation of what their experience and their expertise is. And then they get to be present when things go down. And then you're right. So you have, you know, whatever on msnbc, but then you actually have guys who are in the room when the shit did go down. And so you have a peek behind the curtain of what goes on as well as a bunch of experience. And I never really, I forgot about the part after the Navy seals where you were employed in that business. So what's your take on then? Is Trump present a threat to this? Why the the crazy derangement syndrome with Trump?
Dawson
Cats have always acted like their don't stink. Now with Freshstep heavy duty's new 30 day odor control it actually doesn't Fresh Step's new heavy duty litter fights odor three times longer than the leading brand. This is Fresh Step's strongest litter ever. Giving your litter box 30 days of odor control. Step it up to Fresh Step with the new heavy duty litter three times claim based on fecal malluter versus the leading regular clumping litter. Strongest litter ever is based on odor control. Febreze is used under license from the Procter & Gamble Company or its affiliate.
Andrew
I personally think that Trump is the outlier and I think that that what happened was that they had everything lined out that eight years of Obama and they were going to we're going into eight years of Hillary Clinton and Obama teed it up and Hillary was going to take us into World War iii, eliminate the Constitution. And you know, losers of wars, they, they get to be occupied and we would have been, there would have been some false flags probably from North Korea. All the bad guys they set up on the TV are not the bad guys. So the TV says the bad guys start questioning that if they're hammering like Trump. That's just not necessarily the case. I think that the, the five eyes, the intelligence agencies, all the areas that the controlling entities of our world operate through the central bank, the intelligence agencies and military industrial complex. Eisenhower warned us about, JFK warned us about all these, these power controls, Catholic Church, these structures that develop in the world have been infiltrated and taken over because they've been recognized as power structures. And so the people that have been running this stuff for a very long time have infiltrated all of those, I believe, and taken control. And so when things come about and rise to some sort of prominence, they infiltrate and take control. So I think all the power structures that are happening right now have been infiltrated and taken control. And then you have the outlier. But then that doesn't mean that, that there weren't some good guys working behind the scenes. I don't know if you ever see a AMC series called Turn. No, it was on George Washington and it was the spy ring he had during the Revolutionary War that actually turned the tide of the war and allowed us to win the revolutionary war. It's phenomenal. Anyway, I think back starting then there was knowledge that these, these entities that control the city of London, the Vatican, the Washington D.C. those three corporations that control everything through the spiritual military and banking arms, I think that they have, boy, I'm going to get, I'm going to get offed. I think that they, they have established these control structures and taken them over and have directed things very effectively and now, but also there's still some good guys working behind the scenes that recognize these structures. And I, Trump and all the people that are working with him and behind him, Trump's just the figurehead, have been putting things in place to counteract this move that these people have been putting in place for a very, very long time, which was the 16 year plan, the final 16 year plan of Obama and Hillary. Because I think I personally believe the United States Constitution is the only thing that's really standing in the way of complete, total world domination by the globalists. And so I think that Trump came in and surprised him. I think that they, Hillary was never supposed to lose. And I think that probably what happened is when Trump came in, they never thought that he was going to be able to do what he did. Like all the other outliers that have tried Ross Perot and throughout the years, but everyone's always been controlled. There's another great book, Confessions of an Economic Hitman, which really goes to where this control structure has kind of started. But I think that, that Trump came in, was the outlier first. They didn't take him seriously because they're able to mitigate his first term. But I think now they're starting to really realize that this is going to be probably going to be the destruction of their entire global system that they've been working on really in the United States and working on it since we started, but since 1913 and the federal Reserve coming in and taking us off the gold standard and putting us on this fiat currency that we pay interest to borrow, that's not backed by anything. It's not real. They just print pieces of paper and then we pay interest to borrow those pieces of paper. It's insanity. But it's starting to get exposed and I think the exposure is going to take it down. So I think Trump is the good guys. I think we're in the middle of a most amazing psychological operation. It's World War 3. It's a fifth generational war, which means it's a war of narratives played out by non state actors. It's an information war. And I think that Trump and those guys are all exposing what is really the real structures of the world, not the ones we thought we've gone along with that. We thought, you know, that our money really meant something and that our government had our best interest in mind and that the news was actually the news, and it was not all Tavistock controlled social conditioning. And so I think that we're in an exposure phase, and now we're starting to turn the ship around. I'm very positive about things, but.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, I am, too. But let me ask you a couple specifics. And by the way, sorry, the rambling man end of the book. No, no, I'm interested, because I'm like you. I'm trying to figure out, like, what role does everyone play? Like, when it came to Covid, we had a lot of useful idiots. And so the plan with COVID was scare all the housewives, and then all the housewives. Once we scare the housewives, then they will control the kids and they'll control the husband, and they'll control the protocols at the house. You know, so they'll be in charge of liberal white women, and we'll scare the shit out of liberal white women who are always looking for a reason to be scared, by the way. They're always either scared or victims or powerful warriors. I've never seen. I don't know which one. Is it Tuesday? Are you a fucking oppressed victim today, or are you a Queen Nubian warrior? I don't know.
Andrew
Are you paying for lunch or am I opening the door?
Adam Carolla
So they toggle all over the place, but that's their thing. But they're useful idiots. I get it. And then there are the folks. There's Rachel Maddow. Now she's getting paid, but I don't know what she believes. And then there's people like the Obamas who are secretly bad people that nobody thinks are bad people. They think, well, maybe we disagree on a few social subjects or something. They're race hustlers who are just making money and fucked up the country. But no one wants to say anything negative about them because that's a hate crime. But here's my question. If I got Michelle Obama and Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, if I just got them all in the room and we tilted a few beers and we just laid our cards on the table, would they just explain that they hated this country and wanted money? Or would they say, no, what I'm doing is a good thing and that's gonna be our salvation. Like, what are they doing? Like, I get what the blackrocks are doing, and I get what the big industrial military complex is doing. I'm trying to figure out, like, what's Obama does he love this country? Is he just want money? What is.
Andrew
I think it's a spiritual war. I think we're really at the place where it's. Now it's light and dark at this point. It's a spiritual war. And I think that the people controlling this and some of the high people, including the Obamas, are very deep in some very dark stuff. I think this goes back to. Goes back to the cult of Moloch and BAAL and, you know, human sacrifice and cannibals.
Adam Carolla
And so we're going all in on like, Epstein, pizza gate, everything.
Andrew
Frazzle drip. Yep.
Adam Carolla
So for people, it's weird because guys like me almost like, here's the way I feel. I feel like the love of my life, the woman I've been married to for 30 years, is poisoning my oatmeal. And then I walk around and I go, man, I feel sluggish and I have a headache all day. And at some point, one of my friends goes, I think Michelle may be poisoning your oatmeal. And I go, get out of here. Get out of here. Were you kidding? Why would she want me to die? She loves me. You know what I mean? And at some point I go and I get a toxicology report from a doctor and he's like, we're finding strychnine. And I go, get out of here. What is in it for her? Why would she do this? We've been married for 30 years. I take care of her, you know, know she loves me. She's poisoning your oatmeal. And I just go, I don't believe. Why would she do this? So that's where I'm at with all of this stuff. I'm like, really Pizzagate pedophile? What are we talking about here?
Andrew
Yeah, spiritual war is what I think it is. I think it's purely. I think it's light and dark. I think we're a very spiritual, very angels and demons kind of. Kind of place, is my opinion. Because it comes. It comes from. If you trace the people that are running this stuff back through the Black nobility and, you know, the Rothschilds and all of them, those people and the 13 bloodlines and stuff, it all goes back to the cult of Moloch and baal, pre Christian stuff, Sumerian stuff, you know, child sacrifice and really ugly Old Testament stuff. And these people are still around.
Adam Carolla
So these are just modern manifestations of age old Colts and so basically. All right, let me say this and tell me what you think of this statement. You go back and you look at these characters from the past. You could find a Hitler or Pol Pot or somebody like that, or IDI Amin or something not that long ago. And then at some point you could go to Marquis de Sade or somebody, you know, and you could go, so we all wrap our mind around evil from days of yore. You know, this guy was a sadist and he killed for pleasure and whatever like that. And then you go, and now there's us in modern times. And then part of us goes, well, look, we have genes and we drive electric cars and we have air conditioning, so we're not like that anymore. But then you go, well, wait a minute. As a student of psychology and as a student of physiology, we haven't changed that much. I mean, it would stand to reason that there are evil people that just walk amongst us. Just because it's 2025 doesn't mean that was bred out of us in the last thousand years. Why wouldn't there be evil people around or people that just want power and whatever? And that's kind of your summation, right?
Andrew
That's what I think. I've gone down a lot of rabbit holes. I read a, a lot of books. I've know a lot of people that are in high places in various governments around the world and in special operations forces obviously around the world that have seen and done a lot of things. And so I've gotten a lot of inside information. And I've also really sacrificed a lot in my life for the pursuit of truth and understanding what's really going on for my own development. You know, I want to be the most powerful and most developed, developed human I can while I'm in this meat suit. And so that means that, that my ego's got to take some hits while I, while I grow, you know, And I think what we're really running into, you're talking about some of them, the brainwashed people and such. I think at this point, like you're talking about my wife's poison. I can't believe that. I can't. I can't believe that. Well, in order to really wake up to the. What's actually happening in the world, both what we really are as human beings and the state, the real political state, state of the organization of our world, is it's an ego confrontation. You can have your ego or you can have the truth. And one of the things, and the Obamas were masters of this is that whole narrative through the mainstream media and all that tells you you're good, you're the smart ones. We have to take care of those dumb rubes that won't wear masks and don't understand that the Republicans are all racist bigots and stuff. And so it feeds an ego. And they feel like they're good people by not having to do anything. They don't have to really be good people. They don't have to confront their own shadows. They have to just do what the TV tells them. And they're good people. And so then to confront any truth that might be different than what the TV tells them now, it shines a light on their maybe I'm not good. Maybe I'm not the smart one. Maybe I am actually brainwashed. And that to be able to face even the merest possibility of that is a savage blow to the ego. And as you know, so our ego will kill the host before it'll allow itself to be threatened. And so I think that's what the roadblock we're running into with a lot.
Adam Carolla
Of people, I think it's also two parters. It's a sort of past and a present, which is if we go back and examine what it is you were wrong about and have been wrong about for the last decade, let's just say then, and we establish you were wrong about a lot of it. Well, that's the past and that's an ego blow. But then there's the future, such as, why should we listen to you when you were wrong about all this stuff? So if you are going to prognosticate sports gambling and you got the last seven Super Bowls wrong and now you want to make an announcement, well, then we're not listening because you're the guy who's wrong about all this stuff. And you go, but I make my living calling the Super Bowl. And we go, yeah, but we're not going to listen to you because you were wrong about all this stuff. So it's bad for business. So what you should do is never admit you've lost the super bowl, even though we know you lost the last 10 Super Bowls. But you make a living announcing who's going to win the next Super Bowl. So that's why none of the news outlets are doing anything or saying anything, because they would be essentially ruining their franchise.
Andrew
Absolutely. But then sometimes they can't help it. Like Jake Tapper just wrote this book on how they were able to cover up Joe Biden's decline. Well, go back and look at Jake Tapper calling people out for mentioning anything about Joe Biden might have a cognitive issue, you know, and so. And people don't notice. That's the thing. That's crazy. This was just a couple years ago and nobody remembers that?
Adam Carolla
No, no. Well, people. Look, here's. Here's the problem. People have a horrible memory when it comes to them being wrong in the past. They have horrible memories when it comes to them being incorrect in the past.
Andrew
That's the ego protecting us.
Adam Carolla
Yes. And not only do they have bad memories, they have reconstructive memories. They remember them smelling like a rose instead of being stinking wrong. I've had it happen. And I also realized that it's not necessarily lying. I had an incident where I was up on stage and I made a joke up on stage in front of a live audience, and my on air partner at the time said, I made that joke. And I said, no, you were there, but it was my joke. And he said, no, no, I made that joke. Educated person and a good person, you know, I said. I said, well, the good news is it was a live podcast. We taped it so we'll find the tape. And we listened back to it, and he said, go get the tape. Go get the tape. Well, I said it. He didn't say it, but he was a thousand percent convinced he said it. Now, the reason he thought he said it is because it was funny. And he wishes he said it, but he didn't. But he wasn't lying. He was sober and it was like six months ago. Yes, yes.
Andrew
Your ego comes in, and the ego. It's only its main job. The ego's main job to protect you and protect itself.
Adam Carolla
I agree, and I hate to cut you off, but I deal with guys who are guys like Dr. Drew, and they have a lot of integrity.
Andrew
He's just on his show. He's great.
Adam Carolla
Oh, good. Now, his thing is, I would like to get smarter and better. So tell me when I'm wrong. I don't want my ego shielding me. I want to be exposed to this so I can have some growth. Now it makes sense to me. Don't we want to get better? Would we like to continue being incorrect in perpetuity, or would we like to expose ourself to a little bit of headwinds? And once in a while, by the way, when you get used to it, your ego doesn't. It's not a big deal to be wrong, especially if you hang around with smart people, because smart people have a high batting average. So there are people that go, tell me about this. I want to learn about it and tell me what I got wrong. But it is not the Default setting for human beings. And they fight. It's almost violently, to protect this thing. That doesn't count. It doesn't cost anything. There's nothing attached to it. And yet they dig in and they really hunker down.
Andrew
Yeah. Like Morpheus said in the Matrix. He said, most people are so inured to this Matrix, they will fight to the death to protect the very thing that's enslaving them.
Adam Carolla
Yeah.
Andrew
Because it's the comfort.
Adam Carolla
So you go, all right, so it's a perfect storm of scared white women and. And people on MSNBC and CNN and whomever that are caring. Maybe Big Pharma is advertising enough where they have themes they have to get into and things like that. Then there's sort of Elon Musk, who's a disruptor, who buys Twitter, and then they all go nuts because he's buying a platform that they were using to push false information on people and take down accurate information by people who disagreed with them. And that's why, by the way, why so threatened? You know what I mean? It's like, Elon Musk bought Twitter. Okay. So what? Let him do whatever he wants on it.
Andrew
You want to go on what other people say? They're not gonna censor people. Why is that a problem?
Adam Carolla
Right. And why do you need to point a czar of accuracy and mis. And disinformation if you're not handing out misinformation? Disinformation. It's so.
Andrew
It seems obvious.
Adam Carolla
It seems very apparent to guys like you and I why they're. It's essentially. Here's the example I use. Cop pulls you over. You know what I mean? Hey, can you pop the trunk? I want to see if. I want to check. See. See what's in the trunk. There's nothing in the trunk, Officer. Good, then pop it. Let me take a. No, you can't. No, I'm going to need my lawyer. Well, is there anything in the trunk? No, there's nothing. Thing. Okay, then pop the trunk. Let me have it. No, just road flares and a scissor, Jack. Well, then pop the trunk. I'm not going to pop the trunk. It's like, okay, pardon me, but now I think there's something in the trunk. And you guys protesting over everything all the time makes me kind of wonder, are you really into free speech? Because every time someone starts talking about free speech or actually practicing free speech, you try to tear them down. Down.
Andrew
Yeah, 100%. It's a sad place that we're at, but I think that we're righting the ship, so to speak. So I hope that things still continue on the path that they seem to be pushing down.
Adam Carolla
I agree. So sorry I didn't get into your book. No, but I. I want to, I want to tell people. Listen, I'm with you. I've done a few things in my life. You're right. Ready? Yeah.
Jason Mayhem Miller
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
Fire. Okay. All right. I tell people all the time, look, somebody's house is gonna get robbed or ransacked or looted or something. Let's just make the guys go across the street and not have it be your house. You know, you're not gonna build Fort Knox or Hitler's bunker. You're just gonna make it a little more difficult. And I've told people a million times, when I had a car stereo in my truck, I painted it brown. It was a Sony digital car stereo. And I spray painted it brown, the color of the dash. And I didn't do a good job either. And everyone said to me, why did you do that? And I said, to make it less attractive to steal. And I lived in LA and this is in the 80s, and everyone got their truck broken into and everyone got their stereo stolen. But not me. I parked in Hollywood, on the streets of Hollywood. I got my truck stolen two times. I got it back because I put a fuel cutoff switch on it under the bench seat. So that was easy. And for about a buck 75, I kept my truck and I kept my stereo because I just did the two things that I knew would work in terms of getting the car stolen or getting the stereo stolen. I didn't build a cage around my truck. I made it unattractive for them.
Andrew
Exactly.
Adam Carolla
For them to do that. And that's essentially what you can do at home, right?
Andrew
Yes, absolutely. I cover a lot of that in my book. Is it's not about, like you said, you don't want to build a fortress that it seems impregnable. Well, there's something they're protecting in there. I want to be. We call it in buds when go back to SEAL training, when students come through, there would be students that would come through. And then you'd be sitting at graduation as an instructor and you'd be nudging your buddy A like, you remember that guy up there? I'm like, I don't recognize that guy at all. He's graduating. When we put him through training, I don't remember him. We call those the gray men. The gray men are the guys that go through training with your eyes just slide over the top of them. They're never at the top and they're never at the bottom, but they don't get any attention. Because in buds, if you're the best guy that gets a lot of attention, you're going to get extra attention from the instructor staff, which is never a good thing. And if you're in the bottom, you're going to get all kinds of remediation. And that's, that's a very bad thing. But to be the guy that makes it through training without any extra attention from the BUDS instructor staff is the way you want to do it. That's the easiest way to get through training. And that's what you want to do with your house. You want your house to be the one. Your eyes just slide right over. There's nothing in their value. There's no reason, nothing attractive there. You want your place to be not examined for, you know, that's pretty impregnable. A lot of guys done a great job of, you know, making it unattractive. We want it to not even be noticed. Yeah, just like your. Just like your camouflage dash radio.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, well, it was unsellable after I painted it brown. Paint your house gray, everybody. A Navy SEALS bug in guide is the name of the book, Joel, I'll have to have you back and we'll talk conspiracy theories for as long.
Andrew
It's good stuff. More people are waking up. It's great.
Adam Carolla
I completely concur. Joel, thank you so much for joining me today.
Andrew
Thank you so much for having me on. I'm sorry to hear about your house. I'm there all the time. My girl was in the Alphabet street, so all her stuff was gone.
Adam Carolla

Andrew
