Adam Carolla.
- [03:42]
Adam Carolla
Yeah, get it on. Got to get it on. The church mandate. You get it on. Mayhem's in studios. Got some news. I have some stuff to get to first. Did you know, Mayhem, that the first issue of Barely Legal magazine. I like explaining society back in the 80s and 90s to people. You know, like there was a magazine called Barely Legal and Barely Legal was in wide circulation. People knew about was basically models. There was a whole thing which is really super creepy, but it was perfectly fine in the 90s was like, hey, 19 year old chick. Yeah, put on this Britney Spears schoolgirl outfit, then hold a lollipop and then put your hair up in pigtails. And then we'll fantasize to you about you. Even though you're 19, but it's gonna seem like you're 14. But that's cool.
- [04:45]
Wade Phillips
Oh, baby, baby.
- [04:47]
Adam Carolla
Weird, right? So here's the thought I had. If you wanna feel old, the OJ trial is over 30 years old. And the first issue, and I looked it up, the first issue of Barely Legal magazine came out September 1993, meaning the model of Barely Legal. The first issue is 50 years old today. 50, 50. The barely legal woman is old and that's how old we are.
- [05:21]
Jason 'Mayhem' Miller
So the centerfold there, did she make it?
- [05:23]
Adam Carolla
You know what I'm saying?
- [05:24]
Jason 'Mayhem' Miller
It's a tough life sometime in the adult film industry. So you know what I mean?
- [05:29]
Adam Carolla
We don't know that it's the adult film industry.
- [05:32]
Jason 'Mayhem' Miller
As the newsman, I guess I'll dig deep into the story and get back to you.
- [05:35]
Adam Carolla
Yeah, blow the lid off of this. But the point is, it's the Barely Legal mod from the first Charter episode. The first. What would it call? The first issue of Barely Legal magazine is at least 50 years old because it came out in 93 September. And she had to be at least 18 to film the COVID So she's 50.
- [06:00]
Jason 'Mayhem' Miller
Get on it. Google guys.
- [06:02]
Jay Moore
A lot of issues in those issues.
- [06:04]
Adam Carolla
Lot of issues in those issues.
- [06:05]
Jay Moore
But that's a year after I graduated high school, by the way. I graduated in 92. So I guess our junior class, our junior class was barely Legal after they graduated high school.
- [06:17]
Adam Carolla
I bring it up because Megyn Kelly got into a bunch of hot water last week. Cause she's saying Epstein likes These barely legal types. And I think she was talking about the magazine. She said 15, too, which she made a mistake. But the whole point is, she was saying barely legal types, and I think she's referring to the magazine where they had 19 year olds who look like they were 14. That's the barely legal type she was talking about. But nobody knew what barely legal magazine was who was 35 years old and a woman, so they just thought barely legal was her generically saying it. Not as a brand name, an ip. But anyway, the point is, there was a magazine. It was called barely legal. I was walking around in Dallas or Fort Worth or somewhere, and I thought, I'll bet you the first model's at least 50.
- [07:13]
Jay Moore
It's funny you say IP because that's intellectual property.
- [07:17]
Adam Carolla
That's right.
- [07:17]
Jay Moore
That's anything but.
- [07:18]
Jason 'Mayhem' Miller
Wait, they still got it at the Dallas newsstand.
- [07:23]
Adam Carolla
I wasn't able to find it. God knows I looked. It was on the road. It gets lonely out there. No, I think it was probably defunct. Covergirl was born in 71, so she's.
- [07:38]
Jason 'Mayhem' Miller
Getting down to the root of it. Get her Instagram and get back to me. Kay, what's her age?
- [07:43]
Adam Carolla
She's 54 now. Because the CoverGirl was only like 22 or something when it came out.
- [07:48]
Jason 'Mayhem' Miller
She was cosplaying as 18.
- [07:49]
Adam Carolla
Yeah. All right, so there's a piece of trivia for you also. I didn't tell you guys what happened, but it was kind of insane. It was pretty insane. So we. I did a whole long Texas run. Mike and I were driving for hours and hours and hours. We're all over Texas, all over. Three and a half hours at a time. I mean, it was road tripping it everywhere. And we left here on a Wednesday, and we're going to come back Sunday. And it was a long trip, but we had planned. They had planned a track day for Sunday at a motorsports track in, like, west Texas. And I don't remember what it was called, but it was like, you know, it was one of these tracks they pop up there. You talk about trucks. No, we're talking. We're talking asphalt, all right? We're talking. No, no, no. Road courses. 1.7 miles. You know, right turns, left turns, I don't know, 14 turns, you know, little elevation change, blah, blah, blah. But it was all. It was all fine. After the show Saturday night, we're going to get up, we're going to drive an hour to the track. We're going to drive Paul Newman's 308 Ferrari, which he Drove for a season so in 79 or 80. Interesting story, interesting piece. I'm sort of half ownership with it, lives out in Texas, blah, blah, blah. So the plan was we're going to drive on the track from about 1 to 2. Had the track for about an hour. You rent the track out, film some stuff. Da, da, da. And then we get back in the car. Now, we packed up all our luggage and everything because we weren't going back to where we were staying. We're going to the airport. But we researched it and there was a nice lounge at the airport and football Sunday, and we're ahead two hours in Texas, so we can pack it up at the track. The flight's at 7. We'll be packed up at the track at 2, 2:30. We'll have a couple hours to hang in the lounge and watch a little football.
- [10:01]
Jason 'Mayhem' Miller
Are you doing a long way of saying you were late to the airport again?
- [10:04]
Adam Carolla
Not really, but close. All right, the track has us. It's wide open. A big dually with a race trailer on it. A couple of tech guys, people drove their cars, this, that and the other. Me and Mike August have a brand new Audi Quattro suv. They let us borrow it for the weekend. Some point, I get out of the car, I get out of the race car. I get out of my fire suit, you know, my helmet and stuff, and I go, all right, it's 2:30. We've been working our asses off. Let's go kick it in a lounge, watch some NFL football. And Mike walks up to the suv. It's just parked out in the middle. It's not the track, just sort of has a big space you can park. It's Texas, you know, they don't care that much. Our brand new Audi suv. And I say, brand new, Maybe it's a year old. It locked itself. It locked itself. It locked itself. So then I go to Mike, where are the keys? And he's like, in the cup holder. I go, well, try the doors. Doors are locked. Rear hatch locked. Everything's locked. I go, well, is there some code or something? It's like, it locked itself. We go find the owner, John Clay Wolfe. We go, john, your car, Audi. It's a dealer car. Whatever. It locked. I don't know what to do. Do you have the app or anything? No. Okay, well, all our luggage is in the car. I'm in my fire suit. I got nothing. My phone's in the car. Everything's in the car and. And we're just sitting in the Middle of this racetrack in West Texas. And we're kind of like, well, wait a minute. Now Mike's got his luggage. I'm talking luggage, Idaho. Phone, everything. There is no traveling. It's all in the car. And Mike had his phone on him because it was, like, in his pocket. He just got out of the car and shut the door, and it locked. So I go, well, I guess we got to call Audi. Maybe they can do like an OnStar thing where they just unlock it from a satellite or something like that, right? So they call Audi, and Audi goes, well, we can't do it remotely, but we can send a tech over. So now it's like. It's like 2:15. We're just standing there. I haven't had a drink. There's no water, there's no anything, no phone, no nothing. I'm just standing in a parking lot in West Texas. I go, what's the Audi guy say? It's 35 to 60 minutes. I don't even know why they give you that low number, but 35 to 60 minutes. So now it's like. It's like 2:10. I go, all right, all right. So we're on the road by 3. We get to the airport by 4. We have a couple hours to watch football, have a beer, enjoy ourselves. That's like an hour comes and goes, hour and a half comes and goes. Meanwhile, we're just standing in a vacant, huge asphalt sea of asphalt with this Audi parked there. And the guys are loading up the race trucks, race cars, and putting it on the truck and stuff like that. We're just standing there. I don't have my phone. I don't have anything. I'm just standing there in a jump.
- [13:29]
Jason 'Mayhem' Miller
Raw dogging, real raw dogging.
- [13:31]
Adam Carolla
So we keep calling Audi, and they're like, yeah, the tech is 20 minutes away. He'll call you when he's 20 minutes out. And another 40 minutes goes by. Long story short, the guy finally shows up at 4:30. We've been just standing in a parking lot for two hours, just standing there again. No waters, no mints, no beers, no nothing. No phone, not a single luxury. Just standing there like Robinson Caruso. And I go, okay. The guy shows up, and I go, okay, the Audi tech is here. Now. It's always a little first off. There's always this, yeah, I'm on route. I'll text you soon as I get to the motorplex. There's never a text. There's just. The guy just pulls in. There's something with communication. I don't know what's going on. We thought the phone was gonna solve it. It didn't solve it. This guy pulls up and this guy's got the. Behind the language barrier guy, you know. The guy goes, yeah, it's good, it's good. You like? Yeah. So he comes pulling up, gets out of his car. He's not wearing any official Audi tech outfit or nothing. He's not driving an Audi and he's the Audi. He's the guy Audi dispatched to come open the car. Now I thought he was gonna flash it or he had like a universal fob or something. Oh no, he's gonna pry the door and shove a Slim Jim in there. So, yeah, right? So he comes walking up and he. We've been just standing outside the car for two hours. Just standing there for two hours, right? He comes walking up and he goes, you know that body language thing where you see the guy. I'm sitting in John Clay Wolf's Land Rover. I'm just sitting in there listening to the radio. I see him walk up. I see like Mike talking to him. Then you see that body language. The guy starts waving, you know, shaking his head, going. And you're like, oh shit, this isn't going right. He doesn't have the key fob or whatever. And so Mike comes back out and goes, the guy's leaving. I go, what do you mean leaving? He's the guy Audi. He's the tech that the Audi is. He says, you need a locksmith. I go, he's the locksmith. I can see him shoving. Interesting. He's shoving stuff in the side glass. So the driver's door, you go about halfway up the window, shove a little Hot Pocket in there, and then you fill it up inflatable. Inflatable, right. Trying to buy a half inch of daylight, right? So he's like, eh, it's not gonna work. It's not gonna work. He starts to go get in his car. John Clay Wolfe goes and goes, hey man, where are you going? And he goes, you gotta get a locksmith. No, he goes, you got to get a locksmith. I go, no, it's good, you know. And we're like, hold on, we got a flight to catch. We've been standing here for two hours. You're the guy Audi dispatched. And what do you mean go get a locksmith? And what's the locksmith gonna do? So he's trying to get the fuck out of there. And we talk him back. He gets like in the. He gets his little Hot Pocket in there, prize Gets about a half inch of daylight, and it's got this long slim Jim arm with a hook on. He's pushing through the side, trying to, you know, Mike's up on the hood looking through the windshield, like, lower, lower. No, no, toward you. No, toward you. Toward you. Just trying to get the button to open the door. After 20 minutes, pops the door. Yeah, thank God. But I've talked to other people and they're like, yeah, I had an Audi. It did. It did it to me, too. And I'm like, what is going on? That the Audi locks itself now?
- [17:14]
Jason 'Mayhem' Miller
When you close the back door, it locks everything.
- [17:17]
Adam Carolla
Is that what happened?
- [17:18]
Jason 'Mayhem' Miller
Yes, I've learned that. Yeah.
- [17:21]
Adam Carolla
The hatch.
- [17:22]
Jason 'Mayhem' Miller
Yes.
- [17:23]
Adam Carolla
So if. If. If the key's in the car and the keys sitting in the cup holder, the fob. I've never had that experience.
- [17:32]
Jason 'Mayhem' Miller
It never does that on me. In fact, if I close my keys in the trunk, it will pop back open.
- [17:38]
Adam Carolla
Is it meant to do that? Did it want to lock us out? I don't know.
- [17:44]
Jay Moore
I think there may be a default setting in the Audi that after five minutes, it locks the doors if you.
- [17:51]
Adam Carolla
Don'T touch the car.
- [17:53]
Jay Moore
But it's something that is much like a car alarm honking your horn. It's something that you can most likely turn off.
- [18:01]
Jason 'Mayhem' Miller
Totally. You can personalize that thing. But the default setting is just dumb.
- [18:06]
Adam Carolla
Oh, yeah.
- [18:07]
Jay Moore
Well, anyway, default setting.
- [18:08]
Adam Carolla
We got locked the out of our car. We just stood there for.
- [18:12]
Jason 'Mayhem' Miller
What did you do?
- [18:12]
Jay Moore
You almost.
- [18:14]
Jason 'Mayhem' Miller
You almost circled up.
- [18:15]
Jay Moore
You almost had a chance to be the safest person ever to travel on an airplane in a fire suit and racing helmet.
- [18:22]
Adam Carolla
That's right. I know. I told Mike, I walk up, people are going to think I'm flying this. And then he goes, now they're going to think you're loading luggage. He knocked me down. I had it coming. All right. The other thing I wanted to get into was we're having fun with AI Burt Reynolds as Gavin Newsom. And I was playing Gavin. Now, I don't know, maybe it should be a refresher, Andrew. Maybe we should go find the original AI Burt Reynolds, Gavin Newsom. But just to play 45 seconds of it. But I realize that Gavin Newsom sounds nuts when I interview him about the homeless or when I interview him about check cashing, predatory check cashing places. But he would sound. But people don't like me. Or they like him. I'll put it to you this way. I'll put it to you this way. If you played the clip of Gavin Newsom and me where I kept asking him about why blacks and Hispanics in predatory check cashing places and what's wrong with them that they don't have 50% of them don't have access to a checking account. If I played that to my mom, my mom would listen to it and agree with Gavin Newsom. She would go, yeah, that guy knows what he's talking about. I don't know what you're talking about, but I realized that's because of me and it's him. But if you swapped out Gavin Newsom with AI Burt Reynolds and we got the homeless one and we took my voice and just did an NPR type young chick, then he would sound insane because it would be Burt Reynolds sounding insane. But this is all verbatim. So this is the homeless. This is me talking to Gavin about the homeless.
- [20:11]
Jason 'Mayhem' Miller
And you're Hedy Lynn Hurdies.
- [20:14]
Adam Carolla
I'm the NPR sensible chick.
- [20:15]
Wade Phillips
Okay?
- [20:17]
Commercial Voice
This notion of like, the guy's a hard working and God fearing family member who lost his job and now had to take to the streets is total and utter.
- [20:25]
AI Burt Reynolds (voice impersonation)
Yeah, but what about the picture of real homelessness, which is a poor mom with two kids with a husband who took off and left her, who was sitting there struggling on that minimum wage job and all of a sudden now is out in the streets and sidewalks desperately trying to find some help, get a life back. Can't get those kids into child care. That's a tough thing.
- [20:46]
Commercial Voice
Yeah, that's tough, but.
- [20:48]
AI Burt Reynolds (voice impersonation)
And that's the picture of family homelessness.
- [20:50]
Commercial Voice
No, that's a postage stamp. No, the real picture is bigger than the AIDS quilt, and those are crazy junkies.
- [20:55]
AI Burt Reynolds (voice impersonation)
Yeah, but no, you see, I'll challenge you on this. What you're talking about is chronic homeless, which is the picture we have of homeless, which is a relatively small percentage of folks that are homeless.
- [21:06]
Adam Carolla
All right, so no one knows what the fuck he's talking about. Chronic homeless, small percentage family homeless. Some might say homes.com is the best home shopping site. Maybe homes.com's super comprehensive and transparent agent directory. Or maybe homes.com is the only site that always directly connects you with the listing agent who knows the home the best. Hmm. Perhaps it's because homes.com has the most in depth neighborhood content of any home shopping site that's extensively researched to highlight the personality of each neighborhood. I say it's all the above. Homes.com goes above and beyond to bring home shoppers the in depth info they need to find the right home. It's homes.com we've done your homework.

- [22:32]
Jason 'Mayhem' Miller
But that totorist tone was really the.
- [22:35]
Adam Carolla
Picture of homeless I have. Are the people that are flopped out on the street the homeless that are in a home on someone's sofa or air mattress? I don't know. I don't have a picture of that homeless because I'm not inside their fucking house. But when I drive, I see homeless people. By the way, no one is worried about the homeless who are in a home. They're worried about the homeless that are in the fucking streets waving around machetes. But anyway, once you realize. Once you put Burt Reynolds voice on some of these people, you realize they sound totally insane.
- [23:07]
Jason 'Mayhem' Miller
I know. Smokey and the Bandit.
- [23:09]
AI Burt Reynolds (voice impersonation)
Approved.
- [23:10]
Adam Carolla
So I said, let's just keep it going. And I put Burt Reynolds voice over here. Joey did it. And we can list the ones we wanna do. And we put one on Michelle Obama. Whoa, Nithya Rahman.
- [23:26]
Jason 'Mayhem' Miller
Wait, we're going with liberal talking points with Burt Reynolds voice.
- [23:29]
Adam Carolla
Burt Reynolds.
- [23:30]
Jason 'Mayhem' Miller
Who are we pitching this?
- [23:33]
Adam Carolla
This is Bert. We'll do Nithyan. You know what? Let's start off with Joy Reid talking about racism. Sorry, I'm making Andrew work. That's all right. He's on the clock. Joy Reid gave a thing about racism, but now when you hear Burt Reynolds. And the other thing too, is you can really hear the speech patterns, how they talk and how they sound. Joy Reid is unable to finish her own thoughts, but here we go.
- [24:06]
AI Burt Reynolds (voice impersonation)
They can't fix the history. They did. Their ancestors made this country into a slave hell. But they can clean it up now because they got the Smithsonian. They can get rid of all the slavery stuff. They got Prageru. They can lie about the history to the children. They can't originally invent anything. More than they ever were able to invent good music. We black folk gave y' all country music, hip hop, R and B, jazz, rock and roll. They couldn't even invent that. But they have to call a white man the king because they couldn't make rock and roll. So they have to stamp the king on a man whose main song was stolen from an Overweight black woman.
- [24:52]
Adam Carolla
All right?
- [24:52]
Jason 'Mayhem' Miller
You ain't nothing but a hound dog.
- [24:54]
Adam Carolla
Written by Jews. Two Jews for her. But anyway. Well, hi, I'm. Yeah, she sounds incoherent. Or at least racist. I would say. At least racist coming out. And then there's Michelle Obama talking about hair. But she sounds fucking angry and weird and racist, too.
- [25:14]
Jason 'Mayhem' Miller
When it comes out of Bert.
- [25:16]
Adam Carolla
When it comes out of Bert. Right. That's the whole point.
- [25:19]
AI Burt Reynolds (voice impersonation)
Let me explain something to white people. Our hair comes out of our head naturally in a curly pattern. So when we're straightening it to follow your beauty standards, we are trapped by the straightness. That's why so many of us can't swim and we run away from the water. People won't go to the gym because we're trying to keep our hair straight for y'.
- [25:40]
Adam Carolla
All.
- [25:41]
AI Burt Reynolds (voice impersonation)
It is exhausting, and it's so expensive and it takes up so much time. Braids are for y', all so we can work harder and focus on the work. So why do we need an act, an act of law to tell white folks to get out of our hair. Don't tell me how to wear my hair. Don't wonder about it. Don't touch it. Just don't.
- [26:04]
Adam Carolla
She also sounds like an insane narcissist. Like, don't wonder about my hair. Don't touch it. Shut the fuck up, you weirdo. Who the fuck cares about your hair? Do whatever the fuck you want with your hair.
- [26:16]
Jason 'Mayhem' Miller
Where did she give that speech that's like. You know what I mean?
- [26:21]
Adam Carolla
She gave that.
- [26:21]
Jason 'Mayhem' Miller
She's talking to other black ladies.
- [26:23]
Adam Carolla
No, she's talking to rich white Karen's who nod their fucking head incessantly. That was just recently.
- [26:29]
Jason 'Mayhem' Miller
Oh, really?
- [26:30]
Adam Carolla
Wow. Well, it underscores how fucking nuts they are. Right? Okay, now, we had. There's also. I think. I don't know. I'll. We'll. We can do Sunny Hassan next if you want. But you can also find the original Gavin Newsom talking about cleaning the town up for Chinese dignitaries as well, for maybe the next one, which is good, but we'll do Sunnyhausen from the View. I'll do the Chinese. Do the Chinese ones. This short one, but good. You ready?
- [27:06]
AI Burt Reynolds (voice impersonation)
I know folks say, oh, they're just cleaning up this place because all those fancy leaders are coming into town. That's true. Because it's true.
- [27:18]
Adam Carolla
Wow.
- [27:18]
Jason 'Mayhem' Miller
All right. Thanks for laying it down for us like that.
- [27:21]
Adam Carolla
You do get an idea for how fucking nuts Gavin Newsom sounds when it comes to Burt and how angry and racist Michelle Obama sounds. And Joy Reid sounds. And I guess Sonny Hostin as well. Whenever we're ready for that one.
- [27:39]
Jason 'Mayhem' Miller
The next actual step is what, cgi? Sort of AI Gavin Newsom, played by Burt.
- [27:46]
Adam Carolla
Yeah, I don't know. There's something satisfying about just seeing Burt sitting in his Firebird with his T. Top.
- [27:52]
Jason 'Mayhem' Miller
T top.
- [27:53]
Adam Carolla
He's got the state of Florida Y embroidered into his hat with a feather in it. All right, so here we go.
- [28:00]
AI Burt Reynolds (voice impersonation)
This is a country based on racism and slavery, and founded in it, there is systemic racism and misogyny. And there are people that no one. I've never met anyone that raises their hand and says, I am racist. However, there are people that seem to be able to look the other way when it comes to racism. So you have a president who traffics in misogyny, who traffics in xenophobia, who traffics in sexism, and one against a black woman. So don't tell me that this country is ready for a black woman. Don't tell me this country is ready for a woman.
- [28:38]
Adam Carolla
We're ready for Burt fucking Reynolds is what we're ready for. Yeah. So now again, they all sound racist, dumb, paranoid, fucking angry. And by the way, everyone speaking is rich, except for mayhem. All right, now we have. Oh, we have Nithya. Okay, now we got Nithya Ram. Now, this is my favorite. She went to Harvard. She went to Harvard.
- [29:08]
Jason 'Mayhem' Miller
Yeah.
- [29:09]
Adam Carolla
And she's out here in Los Angeles and she's got a plan to fix all the catalytic converter thefts. She has a plan now, she didn't really enact this plan. It's a couple years old when somebody, some taxpayer, had a tree house in the front yard, she snapped into action and bulldozed that shit. That didn't last a second. But when people are dying, getting shot, stealing catalytic converters, her plan was to blame Toyota. So this is what Burt Reynolds plan would be to stop the theft of. Well, not even a plan. It's who's at fault here for people crawling under your Toyota with a Sawzall. Okay, here it is.
- [30:03]
AI Burt Reynolds (voice impersonation)
We have a company, you know, the Pre. Whatever Toyota, who makes the Prius that essentially has a device on their cars which is super easy to remove. It's basically the value of a MacBook, right? That is put in a place that is incredibly easy to access in your car. And then the thefts related to this issue have essentially all of the costs of that are given to us to bear instead of them having to manufacture a car that actually is not so easy to be stolen.
- [30:35]
Adam Carolla
Does anyone Know what the fuck she said? Does anyone know what the fuck she said? She's. This is a woman. We got to get rid of the chick. Think people. She's just talking. This is nothing. I don't know what the fuck she's saying.
- [30:47]
Jay Moore
Burt Reynolds really makes that one stand out because it's incredibly easy to take from the car. No, it's welded.
- [30:55]
Adam Carolla
It's welded, you dumb son of a bitch.
- [30:57]
Jason 'Mayhem' Miller
I want to slap that Florida hat off your head.
- [31:00]
Jay Moore
Now it sounds even more crazy. Yeah, this one really shines.
- [31:03]
Adam Carolla
Yes. You understand how fucking nuts this fucking cow sounds? She's talking about stealing catalytic converters. And by the way, my thing is. Hey, bitch, where's the legislation? Did you talk to Toyota? Did you get them to put their catalytic converters in a shark cage or have each car come with a catalytic guard on it or something? You didn't do anything. You just got up there and sound like a fucking idiot for a minute and a half and then went home.
- [31:33]
Jason 'Mayhem' Miller
It made me a bit more aggressive seeing that mustachioed face.
- [31:36]
Adam Carolla
All right, let's hear it one more time. It's funny. Yes, it is a part that is welded into the center of your exhaust system. Listen, by her logic, rear view, outside mirrors, wheels, bumpers, hatches, it's all removable. It's all super easy to get to. Transmissions, engines, rear ends, suspension parts. You can get under a fucking car and take the rear differential off and sell it if you wanted. There's all these places pick apart back.
- [32:17]
Jason 'Mayhem' Miller
At a Brinks truck. You know what I mean? Cut that thing open about 30 minutes.
- [32:20]
Adam Carolla
Yeah, they got stuff. There's parts all over the car you can pull off.
- [32:24]
Jay Moore
There was a time in the mid to late 1980s where everyone was stealing Mercedes Benz hood ornaments and wearing them around their neck.
- [32:33]
Adam Carolla
Yeah, yeah. And stereos as well.
- [32:36]
Jason 'Mayhem' Miller
Yeah.
- [32:37]
Adam Carolla
Hey, they used to, you know what? They used to steal.
- [32:39]
Jay Moore
Point. Might have worked then.
- [32:41]
Adam Carolla
Here's. I will tell you what used to be a thing. You ready? Toyota. Same company used to make a car called the Supra. Now they revamped it a few years ago, but Toyota Supras were really like the first car that had a really cool like 8 way adjustable seat with like cool bolsters on the side and a little air thing and lumbar thing. When you look at the early like first gen Toyota Supras, they had these super seats in them, right? People would steal the seats in a Supra and put them in their Z car, put them in their Camaro. Cause it's an expensive, cool seat. I don't think Recaro made it, but it was before everyone had a cool seat. You know, you're in a Z car. He just had a vinyl seat, you know, so people would rip off super seats. But it wasn't Toyota's fault they made a car with a cool seat in it. It was your fault for not having enough cops. All right, one more time with genius nithyaraman. Sorry.

AI Burt Reynolds (voice impersonation)
We have a company, you know, the Pre. Whatever Toyota, who makes the Prius that essentially has a device on their cars which is super easy to remove.
- [33:56]
Adam Carolla
Super.
- [33:56]
AI Burt Reynolds (voice impersonation)
It's basically the value of a MacBook, right? That is put in a place that is incredibly easy to access in your car. And then the thefts related to this issue have essentially all of the costs of that are given to us to bear instead of them having to manufacture a car that actually is not so easy to be stolen.
- [34:18]
Adam Carolla
This is what this is, a Harvard education. This fucking woman went to Harvard, people. Fucking Harvard. That's what she left with, that fucking 10 cent head from Harvard. You should never want your kid to go to Harvard.
- [34:30]
Jay Moore
And if they made it much more difficult, they would have to do it with lots more welding and lots more metal, thus adding much more weight and goodbye gas mileage, which is the whole thing they want in the first place.
- [34:42]
Adam Carolla
Yeah, I mean, an okay point, but the point is, is once you're at the bottom of a car and you're welded into the car, I don't really think it's on the manufacturer any. If you said to a certified Toyota tech, how many parts can you get off of this car more easily than a catalytic converter? The answer would be 1200 parts. All of them. Because I don't need to use a fucking sawzall to get rid of a computer module or an airbag or something like that. All right. Oh, we have the original. Let's do. As long as we're on a roll, let's do the Original check cashing 1 Again, me is the cute NPR reporter who my mom would like. And then Burt Reynolds is Dumbo Newsome who my mom wouldn't like. And that's why this works.
- [35:37]
AI Burt Reynolds (voice impersonation)
Half of African Americans in the state of California, roughly half of Latino families, have no access to a checking account or an atm. Things we take for granted. They don't have a checking account.
- [35:49]
Commercial Voice
What's wrong with them?
- [35:50]
AI Burt Reynolds (voice impersonation)
Well, because they don't have the resources to sock those things away.
- [35:54]
Commercial Voice
Why do we have them?
- [35:55]
AI Burt Reynolds (voice impersonation)
A lot of different reasons, but roughly half those families don't why do Armenians have them, but where they end up is a check cashing place.
- [36:03]
Commercial Voice
But I want to know why those groups. Why do those two groups not have access?
- [36:07]
AI Burt Reynolds (voice impersonation)
Just happens to be that we can talk about.
- [36:09]
Commercial Voice
Are they flawed?
- [36:10]
AI Burt Reynolds (voice impersonation)
No, they're hardly flawed, but they're struggling.
- [36:12]
Commercial Voice
Genetically flawed?
- [36:14]
AI Burt Reynolds (voice impersonation)
Hardly. Absolutely not.
- [36:15]
Commercial Voice
Do Asians have this problem?
- [36:17]
AI Burt Reynolds (voice impersonation)
I mean, a lot of communities have problems. A lot of whites have these problems.
- [36:21]
Commercial Voice
So it's not just black and Hispanic?
- [36:23]
AI Burt Reynolds (voice impersonation)
No, but it.
- [36:23]
Commercial Voice
Well, why did you bring up black and Hispanic?
- [36:26]
AI Burt Reynolds (voice impersonation)
Because the magnitude is ominous.
- [36:27]
Commercial Voice
But why so many of them?
- [36:29]
AI Burt Reynolds (voice impersonation)
It just happens to be just the magnitude.
- [36:31]
Commercial Voice
That's the way God planned it.
- [36:32]
AI Burt Reynolds (voice impersonation)
Not at all.
- [36:33]
Commercial Voice
Well, what happened to them?
- [36:34]
AI Burt Reynolds (voice impersonation)
There are a lot of issues and communities are struggling.
- [36:37]
Commercial Voice
Why are they struggling?
- [36:38]
AI Burt Reynolds (voice impersonation)
A lot of different reasons.
- [36:39]
Commercial Voice
Hispanics have been here. Blacks have been here longer than we have been here.
- [36:42]
AI Burt Reynolds (voice impersonation)
Well, we can. We can surmise.
- [36:44]
Commercial Voice
What about Asians? They were put in internment camps.
- [36:46]
AI Burt Reynolds (voice impersonation)
Yeah, we. In fact, it all initiated out of San Francisco. The Chinese Exclusion act came out of progressive San Francisco.
- [36:53]
Commercial Voice
So are they at the check cashing places?
- [36:55]
AI Burt Reynolds (voice impersonation)
A lot of Asians certainly do.
- [36:56]
Commercial Voice
Oh, so why don't you include them?
- [36:58]
AI Burt Reynolds (voice impersonation)
Because then the only reason why is the magnitude of the problem.
- [37:02]
Commercial Voice
But there's no way to figure out how that happened.
- [37:04]
AI Burt Reynolds (voice impersonation)
We could talk about, you know, what I'm dealing with. I don't want to have a sociological debate.
- [37:09]
Commercial Voice
Sure, why would you. Why would you want to do that? Because the person from the Times wouldn't write good things about you if you did that.
- [37:15]
AI Burt Reynolds (voice impersonation)
No, that's not the case. Because I want to deal with reality.
- [37:18]
Commercial Voice
You want to deal with reality? I can tell you what reality is.
- [37:22]
AI Burt Reynolds (voice impersonation)
People are struggling. People are suffering. I want to deal with the problems in a pragmatic way.
- [37:27]
Commercial Voice
Why are they struggling and why are they suffering?
- [37:30]
AI Burt Reynolds (voice impersonation)
We can hold hands and surmise about all these other reasons.
- [37:33]
Commercial Voice
I don't want to do that. I want to know why they're struggling. Why are they struggling?
- [37:37]
AI Burt Reynolds (voice impersonation)
A lot of folks are struggling because they can't find jobs.
- [37:39]
Commercial Voice
Why?
- [37:40]
AI Burt Reynolds (voice impersonation)
Blacks and Hispanics across the board, all socioeconomics.
- [37:44]
Commercial Voice
So everybody is struggling.
- [37:45]
AI Burt Reynolds (voice impersonation)
Everybody is struggling.
- [37:47]
Commercial Voice
So Asians are suffering just as much as blacks.
- [37:49]
AI Burt Reynolds (voice impersonation)
The face of welfare is not an African American family.
- [37:53]
Commercial Voice
Oh, so it's Asian, Jewish. It's all of them Caucasian. Okay, we're all struggling.
- [37:57]
AI Burt Reynolds (voice impersonation)
A lot of folks are struggling.

Adam Carolla
Okay, sounds so stupid. He sounds full. He went full tar. He sounds like a fucking retard. He doesn't know what the fuck he's talking about. Everyone I try to tell people all the time, he doesn't know what he's saying. He doesn't understand the words that are coming out of his mouth. He really doesn't. And he doesn't care. Cuz he knows you dumb shits will just vote for him. So he's not even interested. But he doesn't. He's not coherent, he doesn't track, he's not linear. I don't know what the fuck. He said he had three minutes to make a point that he brought up. If I bring up a point, I go, I don't like these red left turn arrows. And then someone would go, what do you mean? We need them for safety. And I'd go, yeah, no, when the light's green, the arrows shouldn't be red. And then someone would go, but why? What about safety? I'd go, look, if the light's green and the arrow's red and there's no cars coming, then why can't I turn left? And then I wouldn't just blather on incoherently about stuff. I would fucking tell you what my point was. Because I brought it up. Because he brought it up. God. People don't know who this guy is. Burt does. O'Reilly Auto Parts. Oh, oh, oh, O'Reilly.

- [42:57]
Jason 'Mayhem' Miller
Oh, man, you know, if it bleeds, it leads. And ESPN dug up some footage from the cheap shot on Juwan Jennings that sparked the 49ers Panthers brawl. Let's just get right to it.
- [43:08]
Adam Carolla
Check it out. Oh, I didn't. I mean, this one.
- [43:11]
Jason 'Mayhem' Miller
Rarely do you see such technique and poetry in motion in the NFL.
- [43:17]
Adam Carolla
All right, in his first game.
- [43:20]
Jason 'Mayhem' Miller
Let's take a look.
- [43:21]
Adam Carolla
Oh, left.
- [43:24]
Jason 'Mayhem' Miller
Uppercut, upper nuts.
- [43:27]
Adam Carolla
That is punch to the nut.
- [43:29]
Jason 'Mayhem' Miller
Yeah, and then he went in for like kind of a good game at the end and this guy disragged him a bit.
- [43:34]
Adam Carolla
Well, here's the thing. None of these guys wear cups.
- [43:40]
Jason 'Mayhem' Miller
Yeah, listen, I'm with you on that.
- [43:42]
Adam Carolla
They don't wear a cup. It's the weirdest. It's weird. Let me tell you where you're most vulnerable. Pretty much nut sack in your mouth. And these guys don't wear a cup. And their mouthpiece is always swinging around their helmet when they're running down the field on a fucking gunner covering a punt. So why do you have a mouthpiece? And then I don't get why there can't be requirements. Like, you don't get to, like, you don't get to go, I'm joined the NHL. All right, here's your helmet. I don't do helmets, bro. It's like, no, no, we do helmets. There's helmets. You play NFL, you wear helmets. You wear shoulder pads. It's probably about it. Cleats, but that's probably optional. You probably don't have to wear cleats.
- [44:27]
Jason 'Mayhem' Miller
I don't think groin protection should be required.
- [44:30]
Adam Carolla
I would say first things first, you know? You know I know. No, you know, I know that the mouthpiece helps with the concussion.
- [44:42]
Jason 'Mayhem' Miller
Oh, 100%. Yeah.
- [44:43]
Adam Carolla
Right.
- [44:43]
Jason 'Mayhem' Miller
That should be standardized.
- [44:44]
Adam Carolla
When you get your head whacked, if your chin is slack jawed versus biting down on that mouthpiece, it's helpful to alleviate or reduce the effects of the concussion. So in a world where CTE and concussions are at the forefront and you have a mouthpiece and everyone is required to have a mouth look. All right, let me say this. It's not that my car is required to have a seatbelt. It is my car. Nithya Raman doesn't like it. But my car and Toyota, my car has a seatbelt. But there's part two. I'm required to wear the seatbelt when I'm driving the car. If I get pulled over, I don't get to make the argument that there's a seatbelt in my car. The cop's gonna go, you didn't have it on. And I would say it shouldn't just be a requirement that you have a mouthpiece dangling off your helmet. It should be in your mouth and.
- [45:45]
Jason 'Mayhem' Miller
You should be called for most of the time. And they just let it swing.
- [45:48]
Adam Carolla
They don't call it. They don't. They don't call. There is no call. I've never seen a mouth. Has anyone heard of an NFL mouthpiece call in the last 15 years in the league? It doesn't exist. They're all, by the way, they're flaunting it because they make them bright orange and they hang them down six inches. They're just wagging down. Guys running down the field without a care in the world. Things flopping in the air. You could see it from the cheap seats that the guy doesn't have his mouthpiece in. So go ahead and require a cup. And go ahead and require a mouthpiece.
- [46:18]
Jay Moore
Well, I can understand the not wanting to wear a cup because I think a cup is going to cost you a little bit of speed, a little bit of time.
- [46:27]
Adam Carolla
A helmet costs you a little bit of time.
- [46:30]
Jay Moore
Makes sense.
- [46:30]
Adam Carolla
It weighs something. I mean, they're faster in shorts and T shirts than they are in pads. But it's a contact sport, you know, I mean, you could hit harder or do more damage without gloves in a boxing match, but you're required to wear gloves. You know, as long as every. As long as a guy chasing you has to wear a cup. If it's one, it's everybody, then it's everybody, we're okay.
- [46:57]
Jason 'Mayhem' Miller
But still, you're not remarking on that, the heinous nature, the grievous nature of the uppercut to the balls.
- [47:04]
Adam Carolla
I am saying, you know what I mean?
- [47:06]
Jason 'Mayhem' Miller
Shouldn't have to wear a cover. Usually the guys are gentlemen about it.
- [47:09]
Adam Carolla
And it's football. Marcus of Queensbury is gone. It's a fucking free for all. It's no different on an NFL field than it is in airport. It's just fucking Sodom and Gomorrah out there. These guys have impulse control and there could be more guys getting punched in the nuts.
- [47:25]
Jason 'Mayhem' Miller
Oh, great.
- [47:26]
Adam Carolla
Now I did hear that. The nut thing. You can get your nut caught between the cup and your thigh.
- [47:33]
Jason 'Mayhem' Miller
Oh, yeah.
- [47:33]
Adam Carolla
You know that one?
- [47:34]
AI Burt Reynolds (voice impersonation)
Oh, yeah.
- [47:35]
Jason 'Mayhem' Miller
I got caught like that before.
- [47:36]
Adam Carolla
And that's a tough one. And they'll give you a reason why. But I would say start with the enforcement of the mouthpiece. Why don't we just. And then we'll go the nuts.
- [47:45]
Jay Moore
Start with enforcement of don't punch anybody in the nuts. And then it'll be okay.
- [47:50]
Adam Carolla
Well, what's gonna happen to this guy?
- [47:53]
Jason 'Mayhem' Miller
What's gonna be handed down as of the over?
- [47:56]
Jay Moore
There's a suspension in there, right?
- [47:57]
Jason 'Mayhem' Miller
Suspension.
- [47:58]
Adam Carolla
Maybe there's suspension and there's a. I would say over. Under is a hundred grand on the fine. I agree. That's a. Yeah, that's the fair. He's gonna get a big fine.
- [48:07]
Jay Moore
That should go to the guy who got his nuts. I agree, but it doesn't. It goes what, the players unit goes.
- [48:12]
Adam Carolla
To cars for kids or something. Yeah, give it to the guy. I Got punched in the nuts at. I agree. All right, what else we got?
- [48:19]
Jason 'Mayhem' Miller
All right. World's strongest woman winner stripped of the title after organizer discovered she was born a man. Yeah, Here was.
- [48:28]
Adam Carolla
Where do they do this? Wonder what country this is in.
- [48:32]
Jason 'Mayhem' Miller
No, this is a country of Texas. Arlington.
- [48:34]
Adam Carolla
Oh, it's here specifically.
- [48:36]
Jason 'Mayhem' Miller
Yeah. So they had the world's strongest woman. Yeah. And, yeah, as you can see, the number two is pretty mad. Then stormed off saying, bullshit.
- [48:46]
Adam Carolla
Oh, yeah, see, we gotta fuck up more black women because they'll tell the truth. I mean, she's like, oh, I see. She got pissed off. Yeah, these are big, big gals.
- [48:56]
Jason 'Mayhem' Miller
Yes. I mean, and that woman looks like a specimen that got the number two place. Probably worked very, very hard. And then you could see the.
- [49:03]
Jay Moore
Now, ma', am, you said. You said born a man. Do we mean that she. He's still a man or is this.
- [49:11]
Jason 'Mayhem' Miller
Listen here. I didn't do the panty check during the commission of the story, but my question, that she still has the intact tackle.
- [49:20]
Jay Moore
Man boobs.
- [49:21]
Jason 'Mayhem' Miller
Oh, yeah, that's the easy.
- [49:23]
Jay Moore
Probably the easiest way to pass as a woman is to grow your gynomastica.
- [49:29]
Jason 'Mayhem' Miller
Yeah, I understand. If you're that fat, good strategy.
- [49:32]
Adam Carolla
But also the thing is, somebody decided there's no more asking if you got your junk. I reject that. There's pre op, there's post op, there's cross dresser, there's training. We had divisions. Yeah, we had divisions. And then we knew what division everyone was in. And now it's like, well, you can't ask. Like. Well, I could ask if the person's gonna go kick my daughter's ass in a boxing match. Yeah, I'd like to know. So anyway, it's good. They'll cut down. They'll cut down on this stuff. What is the woman's strongest women like for the guys? I like the guys ones because the guys are pulling a back truck.
- [50:17]
Jason 'Mayhem' Miller
They really put some production value into it every once in a while. They're giant stones.
- [50:21]
Adam Carolla
They gotta carry the blarney stones.
- [50:23]
Jason 'Mayhem' Miller
Yeah.
- [50:23]
Adam Carolla
I personally like the keg toss.
- [50:26]
Jason 'Mayhem' Miller
Me too. Yeah.
- [50:26]
Adam Carolla
I was originally upset when I found out they were tossing kegs, but it turned out they had emptied the beer out of them, filled them with cement. I was like, all right, well, then I will abide. If that's just good beer, I'm going to be a conscientious objective. They had the keg toss. Then there's the Highland games.
- [50:43]
Jason 'Mayhem' Miller
Cabert.
- [50:43]
Adam Carolla
That's the different one. Right. But the women, I don't know, I'm.
- [50:49]
Jason 'Mayhem' Miller
Not familiar with their. To be honest. Yeah, I didn't look too deep into it where I know all the events, but I'd imagine they run along the same lines.

Adam Carolla
You know what it is, it kind of shows the difference on the physiology. Whereas the men who are the big dude, it's always Magnus Magnussen or something. And the guy plays the rock in Game of Thrones or whoever.
- [51:12]
Jason 'Mayhem' Miller
The mountain man.
- [51:13]
Adam Carolla
The mountain. And those dudes are big. And they're big and they got like bellies on them, but everything's big on them. These women just look like fat chicks from the airport, which I think it's the difference.
- [51:26]
Jason 'Mayhem' Miller
Uber carriage.
- [51:27]
Adam Carolla
So they're gonna lift. They're gonna lift the 250 pound rock, man.
- [51:31]
Jason 'Mayhem' Miller
That's pretty amazing.
- [51:32]
Adam Carolla
And throw it over a three foot fence. Oh, there's the 150. Oh, I see.
- [51:37]
Jason 'Mayhem' Miller
Quick with that.
- [51:38]
Adam Carolla
Gonna go to the 175. The rock. And then to us it's a weird, It's a weird sport over the giant.
- [51:47]
Jason 'Mayhem' Miller
Pommel horse or a.
- [51:49]
Adam Carolla
Such a. Yeah, it's, it's.
- [51:52]
Jason 'Mayhem' Miller
I mean it is functional strength, like to pick something up that heavy on the floor and hoist it up, you know. You cannot train with Olympic barbells. Yeah.
- [52:01]
Adam Carolla
But give me a skinny Mexican and a Bobcat 6 or Takati, I'll kick these chicks asses in the rock moving department. All right, so another dude dominating.
- [52:12]
Jason 'Mayhem' Miller
Yeah. And women's sport. It's a shame.
- [52:15]
Adam Carolla
Yeah, I don't. It's such a weird. You see, we're living in a time where there's like queers for Palestine. And it's like you're queer. Yeah. And you're for Palestine. Right. But if you're queer in Palestine, they'll throw you off a fucking building. So which are you? And then it's I'm for women and I'm champion of women. I support all women. I support women's sports. Right. That dude just whooped up on the women. So do you support this or don't you support this? And now so you're totally confused. And so here's the problem with being real far left. It's like mask up in between bites. Your fucking message is so confusing. You get confused and then you become a hypocrite. And then people don't know what the fuck you're talking about, which is your policies are so insane that they come back and they bite you all the time because you're nuts.
- [53:10]
Jason 'Mayhem' Miller
It also seems like philosophy is overstepping realism. Like to say, oh, a biological male can be a woman, but then in an athletic competition he has a clear advantage because of the God given physiology.
- [53:24]
Adam Carolla
Well, that'd be another good one for Burt Reynolds to tackle. Joey, remember that speech? Remember when Whoopi was talking about biological men and biological women? And she. First off, Whoopi does that. You don't know what it's like. She sounds like Bill Cosby is like. Because you never been in a woman's body. You don't know what it's like in a woman's body. I know some of these women, these women are tough, you know, she, she sounds incoherent, fucking dumb. Like, how you ever see these women athletes? Yeah, I've seen. Yes, we've seen the WNBA and then we've seen the NBA. Whoopee. Yes, we have seen both. We've seen both. And as impressed as you are with the wnba, I don't see a lot of guys taking off from the free throw line and fucking jamming the ball. I don't see that. I just don't. Oh, yeah, this is. Yeah. And by the way, it's funny because this is the one. Yes, this is a great episode. And we tell Joey we got to Burt Renalize this one too. This is the one with he. She. What's her name? Dylan Mulvaney.
- [54:37]
Jason 'Mayhem' Miller
Mulvaney.
- [54:39]
Adam Carolla
By the way, you can pause it. It's funny cause Dylan Mulvaney is chicky. She'd like to be a peer. She's still a dude in her head. And she's going, what the fuck is this bitch talking about? Like you can tell as she's sitting there, that's a dude processing. She's got a dude brain. She may look like a chick, but the dude brain is going, what the fuck is this bitch talking about? All right, let's play. Now it's all picture Burt Reynolds.
- [55:06]
Whoopi Goldberg (clip)
Last week, California governor Gavin Newsom said that he thinks that trans athletes competing in girls and women's sports was deeply unfair. Now I want to hear what you say because I, I'll tell you what I think. Yeah. The last time I played a sport, I was six years old and I was on a soccer. But I assign myself as the nurse. So I sat with the band Aids. And so in the words of Wicked, I am not that girl, but a dear friend of mine, Skyler, he is a trans athlete. His handles pink Manta ray. That's someone who I really look to for guidance. And I think that is what's tricky, is now stepping in this identity. I'M still like a baby trans, only three years in. Tomorrow's my anniversary. Your friend looks like female being a.
- [56:01]
Adam Carolla
Fucking nut job competing with other males.
- [56:03]
Wade Phillips
Correct?
- [56:04]
Whoopi Goldberg (clip)
Yeah, her friend.
- [56:06]
Adam Carolla
Her friend went from female to male.
- [56:08]
Whoopi Goldberg (clip)
And it's like, he doesn't have a problem with that.
- [56:11]
Adam Carolla
Guy got aids. What's his name?
- [56:12]
Whoopi Goldberg (clip)
Well, I think part of the problem that the trans community is facing, and it's the same problem that women face, is if you don't know anything about our bodies, you don't know how it works.
- [56:25]
Adam Carolla
Yeah.
- [56:26]
Whoopi Goldberg (clip)
So when you come in and you say, oh, you know these men? These are men, you know, with women competing against women, competing against women, You're a suit.
- [56:36]
Adam Carolla
You can't get a thought out. You can't fucking put a thought together.
- [56:41]
Jason 'Mayhem' Miller
I think she was having a bad day. She had trouble reading the teleprompter on that one.
- [56:47]
Adam Carolla
Wait till Burt Reynolds gets hold of this clip. All right, I want to hear. Go back 10 seconds. Let's just listen to. Listen to Whoopi's brain doing battle with itself. Her friend went from female to male.
- [57:01]
Wade Phillips
And is competing with other men.
- [57:02]
Whoopi Goldberg (clip)
Gavin doesn't have a problem with that?
- [57:04]
Adam Carolla
No.
- [57:05]
Whoopi Goldberg (clip)
Well, I think part of the problem that the trans community is facing, and it's the same problem that women face, is if you don't know anything about our bodies, you don't know how it works. So when you come in and say, oh, you know these men. These are men, you know, competing against women, competing against women, you're assuming that the women are weak and just can't do anything. Except, have you seen female athletes? They know what they're doing. So I'm not sure what's going on or why this is an issue. The same for me as when people say, oh, you know, I don't know how I feel about you.
- [57:49]
Adam Carolla
All right, hold on. Pause for a second. Who sounds dumber, her or Nithya Raman? Like, I don't know what's going on. What's going on is men have a distinct physical advantage over women. That's what's going on.
- [58:04]
Jason 'Mayhem' Miller
You're leaving money on the table. I'm about to book me a trans versus trans Muay Thai fight.
- [58:08]
Adam Carolla
Oh, Jesus.
- [58:09]
Jason 'Mayhem' Miller
No, really? Oh, yeah. Two true. I know a couple of them. Yeah, they're gonna fight. Yeah.
- [58:14]
Adam Carolla
Muay Thai is probably the best sport for that. We got lady boys over there.
- [58:18]
Jason 'Mayhem' Miller
Yes, they do.
- [58:19]
Adam Carolla
All right, we got. We got another 10 seconds of her. You guys still got to go back 10 seconds. Just. She doesn't know what the she's saying men.
- [58:30]
Whoopi Goldberg (clip)
These are men, you know, competing against.
- [58:33]
Adam Carolla
Hold on a second, wait a second. All right, here's what it is. You ready? Listen to me. This is a feelings culture, not a facts and numbers culture. So when you say to yourself, why does Nithya Raman sound like a fucking idiot and not solving problems and not like she doesn't know what she's sounding like, and Whoopi Goldberg sounds like a fucking idiot and Gavin Newsom sounds like an idiot because they're all of the feelings culture. And that's why they're like, I, I just feel like it's not right for these people. But you're not making a point. Cause you're feelings based, not data, statistics and numbers based. And that's why they all sound so fucking weird. They have this crazy. You ever talk to like, you ever talk to like a really frustrated 9 year old boy? And they're like, the teacher doesn't like me. It's all feelings. No answer. She has no answers. Gavin Newsom has no answers. Nithya Raman has no answers. But they have tons of feelings. And then when you listen to them, they sound incoherent because they're like, with the parts on the car making it so easy for it to be taken for easily and stuff. And it's bad. Cuz that's all feeling talk. That's what kids sound like when they're upset. She sounds like a kid who has a lot of feelings but no answers and no remedy. All right, sorry, we'll play, we'll keep playing it.
- [60:13]
Whoopi Goldberg (clip)
Problem that women face is if you don't know anything about our bodies, you don't know how it works. So when you come in and you say, oh, you know these men, these are men, you know, competing against women, competing against women. You're assuming that the women are weak and just can't do anything. Except, have you seen female athletes? They know what they're doing. So I'm not sure what's going on, why this is an issue. The same for me as when people say, oh, you know, I don't know how I feel about you. You do. God doesn't make mistakes.
- [60:55]
Wade Phillips
No.
- [60:55]
Whoopi Goldberg (clip)
And the challenge is not to the trans people, it's to the people who are not trans. That's what God is looking to see, how you treat people.
- [61:04]
Wade Phillips
Yeah.
- [61:05]
Adam Carolla
All right. By the way, pause it. If this was a show called the View, but it was five dudes, someone would have hit that bitch with a fucking chair by now. Like if I was sitting next to Dr. Drew and he did that. I'd go, hey, no one knows what the fuck you're talking about, cuz you sound like an idiot. So what's your goddamn point? Because the show's only an hour long. We're not gonna keep clapping. No one knows what you're saying. And you're making an ass out of yourself. So you high on methadone? What is going on? There's no way five dudes would sit around and let someone else just amble on that way. Incoherently applause line now you saw Dylan Mulvaney as a dude. The look and the dude going.
- [61:45]
Jason 'Mayhem' Miller
It was like when the black guy looked at Yoko Ono. Funny.
- [61:50]
Adam Carolla
Chuck Berry. Yeah, that's the greatest. That is the greatest. But you know what they did to Yoko? You know what they did during that?
- [61:58]
Jason 'Mayhem' Miller
What did they do to her? Oh, yeah, they ostracized her and said, oh, my God. He gave big eyes at the camera. Like, what is this lady doing?
- [62:05]
Adam Carolla
They did. But no, they shut her mic. Yep, they shut her mic. And somebody has got to shut Whoopi's mic.
- [62:14]
Jason 'Mayhem' Miller
Well, I was thinking that the guy from the Apollo could come dancing out and hook her.
- [62:18]
Adam Carolla
Ah, the sandman. That's what I do. I fill in all the blanks for you.
- [62:22]
Jason 'Mayhem' Miller
Thanks, bud.

Adam Carolla
Wade Phillips has joined us. Wade's I'd say a football coaching legend, defensive coordinator, been in the league for my Rams. Oh man. Super bowl with the Patriots. Anyway, got a doc out. Love Your bum. Bum Phillips, Legendary Oilers coach Bum Phillips about Wade's dad. A great time in football. I don't know if there's a sweet spot like a fun time in football. Maybe it's too corporate now or too something or too granular now or it didn't have the characters. It had a lot of characters. I don't think there could be a lot of those characters today that there was back then. But anyway, good to meet you, Wade.
- [67:18]
Wade Phillips
Yeah, you too, Adam. Yeah, yeah, those were the days. They were certainly different. They had Tom Landry, had his fedora, you know, on the sideline, wore a suit, and my dad wore a cowboy hat and cowboy boots, which I don't think will ever be done again. But, no, nowadays it's corporate. You wear Nike or you wear whatever, you know, whatever advertisement the NFL wants you to have. But back then, you could wear what you wanted to. And my dad always wore what he felt comfortable with.
- [67:48]
Adam Carolla
Yeah. And your dad got to the Houston Oilers, and the Houston Oilers captured. You know, they really. For a minute, it was sort of, you know, Dallas Cowboys, hold my beer. There's another team in Texas. And everyone was sort of got going with Houston Oilers and. And Dan Pastorini the quarterback, and Earl Campbell running the ball and lots of. Lots of. Lots of big names on the defensive side of the ball. And it was, like, really exciting and it was kind of fun because it wasn't the Dallas Cowboys for a change, but the Oilers could just never get by the Steelers. The Steelers just somehow just would not lose back then, Right?
- [68:32]
Wade Phillips
Yeah. Well, we know the Pittsburgh Steelers won the super bowl two years in a row that we lost a championship game to them. But they, you know, they had the great, great teams. Everybody knows all the players, but we had some great players and some great teams, too.
- [68:50]
Adam Carolla
Yeah. I was just sort of coincidentally not knowing I was going to interview you, but a few. Like, a week ago, I was just thinking about Dan Pastorini, who I think Howard Stern would call Dante Pastorini. But he would say, you know, he wouldn't say Fran Tarkington. He'd say Sir Francis of Tarkington and all that. It was, you know. Yeah, you had Dandy Don Meredith up in the booth. People had a couple of pops. You know, it was just. It was a little funner back then. Like, I know everyone thinks it was out of control, but I don't know. I like the looseness of it. I like the characters. There was a lot of players that were characters, especially on the Oakland Raiders back in the day as well. And it was. It was. It was fun. How old were you when your dad took over for the Houston Oilers?
- [69:49]
Wade Phillips
I actually was coaching in college, and the year after my dad took over, he hired me as a linebacker coach or D line coach, basically, so in 1976. So I was coaching with him during those years. I was either a linebacker coach or a D line coach.
- [70:10]
Adam Carolla
Right, but you had to be pretty young back then.
- [70:14]
Wade Phillips
Yeah, I was 20. 28. 27. 28 in that range.
- [70:19]
Adam Carolla
And you guys got your own song, the Houston Oilers song.
- [70:25]
Wade Phillips
Houston Oilers. Houston Oilers. Houston Oilers. Number one.
- [70:29]
Adam Carolla
And where's your. What's your dad's background? And by the way, what's his name? Can't be Bond.
- [70:36]
Wade Phillips
Yeah, his name is O, because you can't pronounce it. He had to have a nickname. O, A I, L. So his dad. He's a junior. He was a junior. So his dad's name was Flop and they called him Bum.
- [70:54]
Adam Carolla
Wow. And what kind of name is Oil? Or Oil?
- [71:00]
Wade Phillips
Oh, I don't know. I don't know. It was his dad's name and he was a junior. That's all I know. I don't know where it came from, but nobody else uses it that I've ever heard of, and I see why.
- [71:14]
Adam Carolla
Yeah. So Bum shows up. What year was that? He showed up at the Oilers in 1975 and.
- [71:25]
Wade Phillips
Or 74. He came in and then he took over. Sid Gilman stepped down and then he took over in 76.
- [71:34]
Adam Carolla
And I never really remembered the Oilers much before then. They seemed to struggle.
- [71:40]
Wade Phillips
They were losing. Yeah, they. They had not won in a while. The first years of the, you know, the old American Conference, they were pretty good. And then for long stretch, they weren't very good.
- [71:56]
Adam Carolla
And Bum turned it around. How much of your dad was showman stuff? Like how much of it is. Well, look, we gotta put these fannies in seats. I gotta do something, you know, I gotta be a little P.T. barnum here to get the excitement and sell tickets and attract people to this ball club or. Or how much of it was just purely authentic?
- [72:24]
Wade Phillips
No, that was him. He was as authentic as you get. He was, you know, he grew up on working on a ranch and, you know, he had horses and cattle and, you know, and so he. He was real. I was a real cowboy, really, and turned into a football coach. And so he loved. He loved ranching and he loved coaching, and those were his two things he really loved. And so once. Once he became a football coach, he still. In fact, when he first started in High school, he used to rodeo on the weekends to make. Make extra money. You know, he was a bulldogger, where you jump on the cow.
- [73:05]
Adam Carolla
Wow.
- [73:05]
Wade Phillips
Drag him to the ground. When I was, you know, when I was real, real in the first, second grade, he was. He was coaching in high school. And, you know, they play on Friday nights and, you know, Saturdays, you'd go to some rodeo and, you know, try to make whatever they made, you know, in the rodeo.
- [73:26]
Adam Carolla
What were guys getting paid back then in the league? Like, you guys had Earl Campbell. Earl Campbell's arguably the best back for a couple of years in that league. What was.
- [73:42]
Wade Phillips
Yeah, he was the best.
- [73:43]
Adam Carolla
Yeah. What was a guy like Earl Campbell getting paid back then as the premier NFL running back in the league?
- [73:51]
Wade Phillips
Yeah, I'm not sure then I would think they were making a million dollars at that time, but it could be less than that. I'm not. I'm not sure.
- [74:02]
Adam Carolla
And also, as I recall, Earl Campbell had a tearaway jersey. For a first couple of seasons, they used tearaway jerseys, which sounds kind of insane now, but back then they weren't illegal. College used to use them. Earl Campbell would get his jersey torn off every other game, and it was kind of. Kind of crazy. They must have then outlawed the tearaway jersey at some point. But he did play a couple of seasons with you guys at that.
- [74:37]
Wade Phillips
Yeah, I think it was a year or two they played until they. Yeah, until they just said, hey, we can't have that.
- [74:46]
Adam Carolla
I'm looking. 1978, he made approximately 200 grand. Earl did as part of a six year, 1.4. Six year, 1.4 million podcasters.
- [74:59]
Wade Phillips
Make that now.
- [75:01]
Adam Carolla
He later renegotiated his deal and was reportedly earning around 500k annually as well. So being on this sidelines back then. So you started off as coaching linebackers and then went to the defense D line, right?
- [75:26]
Wade Phillips
Yeah, I went. When I went with the oiler, I was at University of Kansas, and I went to the Oilers and coached the linebackers, which, lucky for me, we had Robert Brazil, who was in the hall of Fame, was one of the outside linebackers that I got to coach. So when I first went into the league and then. And when I moved to the defensive line, I got to coach Curly Culp and Ellen Bethea, who also are in the hall of Fame. So we had pretty strong defense in those days, besides Errol Campbell.
- [75:56]
Adam Carolla
Is the game a bit faster now? What would you say? You know, the guys aren't necessarily much bigger now. You know, DBs, linebackers, I mean, they're not really bigger, but they're faster. It seems like the emphasis now is on. And also the defensive linemen, like, they're really. Offensive linemen have grown, but the defense hasn't really grown. There's plenty of DBs that are 180, 590 pounds, like back in the day. And there's plenty of outside linebackers that are, you know, 225, 235. But they seem faster now.
- [76:39]
Wade Phillips
Yeah, I think they are a little bit. But like I say, those hall of Fame guys, I mean, you know, Robert Brazil was 64 and 245 and ran a 4, 6. So I don't, you know, so there were guys. There was exceptional guy. He was an exceptional. But there were a lot more. Nowadays that can run a little faster. The big difference is offensive linemen. Offensive linemen used to be 260, 270, and defensive linemen were the same or a little bit less. But nowadays they're 300. You know, there's nobody under £300 in offensive line, so they've really grown.
- [77:17]
Adam Carolla
Could you coach? You probably couldn't coach then or now like you did then, right? Like you guys were. You're probably coaching an era where they thought water was bad for you, give you cramps, make you weak, you know, I mean, just running these guys ragged out in the sun in Houston and whatever part of Texas you were in, like, there was not an emphasis on hydration back then, right?
- [77:46]
Wade Phillips
Not as much, but there were.
- [77:47]
Jason 'Mayhem' Miller
They.
- [77:47]
Wade Phillips
We, you know, you still looked after your players. I mean, if they become dehydrated, we. We had to get them water. So, yeah, they became dehydrated.
- [77:59]
Adam Carolla
But now it's like, they really get the emphasis on.
- [78:02]
Wade Phillips
Oh, yeah.
- [78:03]
Adam Carolla
They get like.
- [78:03]
Wade Phillips
Yeah, no, it's completely different. Yeah, we did have Gatorade, though, so.
- [78:07]
Adam Carolla
You did? Back in the Oilers days.
- [78:11]
Wade Phillips
Oh, yeah.
- [78:11]
Adam Carolla
Cause that was right at the beginning of Gatorade. I think it was like 75, 76 somewhere in there. Did you coach high school as well?
- [78:23]
Wade Phillips
I did. I coached three years in high school in Texas. Then I coached at Oklahoma State and University of Kansas before going to the Oilers.
- [78:34]
Adam Carolla
And how about. By the way, it should be mentioned that our friend Dennis Quaid does a nice job of narrating. Love you, Bum the Doc.
- [78:44]
Wade Phillips
Oh, yeah, he does. He did really, really well. It's. You know, people had. People that don't know about it or hadn't seen it. It's a pretty amazing era. You know, Texas football is big everywhere in Texas, but high school all the way up and then, you know, of course, the Dallas Cowboys were big, and then all of a sudden, the Oilers got big. So it was a unique time and a real special time that I got to coach with my dad, which was 10 years I coached with my dad. So I'll always cherish that.

Adam Carolla
Didn't your dad go to New Orleans after Houston?
- [79:26]
Wade Phillips
Yes, yes. We lost the championship game two years in a row to Pittsburgh, and they won the Super Bowl. And then next year we lost in the playoffs to Oakland Raiders, and we got fired right after that because we, you know, didn't make it this far, I guess. But Oakland Raiders won the super bowl that year. So we actually lost to the, you know, the super bowl winners three years in a row and got. Got fired. So that's when I realized what my dad said was two kinds of coaches. Ones that have been fired and the ones that are going to be fired. I didn't believe it until then because I hadn't been fired, and I certainly hadn't been fired with winning as many games as we did. And then all of a sudden, you're gone. But that's the way it is.

Adam Carolla
How was it working with your dad? For some people, it's awesome. For other people that can't take it, maybe sometimes dads are a little tougher on their show.
- [80:30]
Wade Phillips
It was awesome.
- [80:30]
Adam Carolla
But you loved it.
- [80:31]
Wade Phillips
Yeah, it was awesome for me, but it was awesome for everybody around him. I mean, he just treated people so well. He had great communication skills with the players, and, you know, he told people he loved them, you know, and they didn't do that. But in those days, you know, and especially family, too, I mean, he called his son. He loved him, and I've always appreciated that.
- [81:00]
Adam Carolla
You know, I never really thought about it when I was younger, but, you know, Houston and Bum and cowboy hats and cowboy boots and the whole cowboy thing, which was a real novelty to me because I'm from North Hollywood, California. Seeing your dad up there made perfect sense. But then going to New Orleans is kind of comical because there's no cowboys in New Orleans. It's like that. The New Orleans. You know, it's kind of interesting. Your dad going from Houston Oilers to New Orleans Saints is sort of like the basketball version of the New Orleans Jazz, which makes sense. Going to Utah, which doesn't make sense at all. There's no jazz in Utah and there's no cowboys in New Orleans. I never really thought of it that way, but they just kept the name and they just moved. But that must have been a little fish out of water kind of environment with New Orleans and you guys coming from where you came from?
- [82:02]
Wade Phillips
I don't. Not really. I mean, my dad got along with everybody and everybody liked him wherever he was. Tom Benson, when my dad retired, cried and, and I told the team, I'll never forget that he came in, told my, told the team, you know, that bum was retiring and so he meant a lot to a lot of people.
- [82:25]
Adam Carolla
No, I'm not saying, you know, he didn't get along. I'm just saying culturally, going from Houston.
- [82:31]
Wade Phillips
To Norway, Cowboys different. Yeah, but there's, I don't know, there were drugstore cowboys everywhere in those days, I guess.
- [82:40]
Adam Carolla
And what was it like for you moving from Houston to New Orleans?
- [82:44]
Wade Phillips
Well, it gave me, it gave me my chance to be the first time defensive coordinator. So, you know, it helped me in my career, obviously. And we had some good defenses there and it got me started in my career.
- [83:03]
Adam Carolla
Yeah, I'm a Rams fan. And you did a good job. The Rams defense did a good job against the Pats in that Super Bowl a few years back, I think. You know, anytime you give up 13 points in a Super bowl, less than two touchdowns to Tom Brady and Belichick, you'd take that before the game started, right? Under two touchdowns.
- [83:26]
Wade Phillips
Anytime. Yeah, anytime against Tom Brady, you hold him 13. I think we held him to 18 when we were with the Broncos when we won the super bowl and beating them in the playoffs. So, I mean, yeah, 13 I thought would win, but it didn't.
- [83:42]
Adam Carolla
So, you know, what do you do with a guy like Tom Brady when you're going into the Super Bowl? You got two weeks. How do you, how do you figure out?
- [83:53]
Wade Phillips
I played against him a lot of time. I mean, I didn't play, but I mean, you know, I knew, I knew a lot about him, but, but all the things, you know, there's no. Hardly any weaknesses, you know, against Cam Newton, we knew if we could keep him from running the football and just make it a passing game, you know, we had a better chance against him.
- [84:15]
Adam Carolla
That's Denver, right? You talk about. Yes, Denver playing in the super bowl, but then.
- [84:21]
Wade Phillips
Right. And then, but with Tom Brady, whenever you played him, I mean, he could recognize any blitzes you were running. He knew, you know, he knew where to throw the ball against any coverage. He knew the matchups. I mean, it was just, you know, I was lucky that we beat him a few times when I was coaching, but he was hard to beat, as everybody knows. I mean, look at how many games he won.
- [84:49]
Adam Carolla
Yeah. The Rams. I went back and looked it up with about 11 minutes left in the fourth quarter in that super bowl against the Patriots got a real bad holding call against the center, which is kind of like a phantom holding call or something. After they broke off a first down, it was three. Three. They had a good drive going and they just stymied the drive. It just killed the drive. And I, as a Rams fan, I'm like, why do you make that call? Interior lineman, running play, no. 1. You know, look, if it's pass interference and you got a handful of the guys jersey and you're out in open field, you got to throw that flag. This is interior center locked up. Rams got the ball. It's three. Three. We're in the Super Bowl. We're in the fourth quarter. That call just ended it. And it busted. It's funny because no one else really cared that much, but I was like, oh, you just stole the Rams game with one bad holding call. Like it, it drove me nuts because it never needed to be called. No one would have ever said anything. And also you never really do the, you never really call the center on an interior running play for holding. Like it's pretty, pretty rare non pass play. But that play, Drew, drove me nuts as a, as a Rams fan.
- [86:10]
Wade Phillips
Yeah, I didn't like it either. But it's. You still got to overcome whatever, you know, in any game. But yeah, they, and they had a great football team too, so they deserved to win.
- [86:26]
Adam Carolla
Yeah. It was also weird that it was Rams and the Patriots and it was three. Three, you know, well into the fourth quarter, which anyone who took the under on that game probably would have been happy about it. Then way back in the day when your dad was coaching the Oilers, there was that Pastorini pass to Renfro in the back of the end zone that would have tied up the game with the Steelers that they said was out of bounds. Obviously, if they had review, instant replay review these days, that would have been a touchdown. But it was always, I always had my thought that these franchises that are dynasties, they're always great teams, but they always get a couple of lucky breaks along the way. You know, you think about the Patriots and the Tuck rule. If they didn't have that Tuck rule called against Oakland, I don't know what would have happened after that Win a couple of coin tosses in overtime and march down and score. Now you got to march down and score. But the Patriots, when they were at the height of their powers, not only were they really good, but they caught the Brakes for a while too. And the Steelers always seemed like they caught the brakes back then, as well as being a great team.
- [87:48]
Wade Phillips
Yeah, you make most of your breaks, but yeah, you overcome the bad things and people don't, you know, there would have been bad breaks, but sometimes you just overcome them because they're so. The teams are so good. But those, those teams are proven. I mean, they just kept winning no matter what. So that was. They were great football teams. The Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh. We did, we did knock them out of the playoffs our last year with the, with the Oilers, though, and I was. We split with them every year during the season, but the last year we played, we beat them and knocked him out of the playoffs the year we got fired in Houston.
- [88:35]
Adam Carolla
Bum made it to what, 2013. How old was your father when he passed?
- [88:40]
AI Burt Reynolds (voice impersonation)
90.
- [88:40]
Adam Carolla
90?
- [88:41]
Wade Phillips
Yeah, he was 90 years old. He had 90 great years.
- [88:47]
Adam Carolla
It's so rare. Cause especially the football coaches, their son, it's usually kind of mixed their feelings. Dad was real tough on me or he was away at work all the time or whatever. But your dad just seemed like he was good through and through.
- [89:05]
Wade Phillips
Oh, yeah, yeah, he was the same all the time, but he worked, you know, like you say. I mean, he was coaching in high school. I had to see him. I had to go down to the field house and, you know, be around, be around him because he wasn't home at night. You know, he went home until I was already in bed. Gone before I got up to go to school. So if I wanted to see my dad, I'd go down the field house and of course I got to be kind of a water boy or whatever for practice and things like that. So that's how I got to be around it.
- [89:38]
Adam Carolla
The movie which I highly recommend. Love you Bum. It's available now to stream on all major digital platforms as well. Is this your idea, the. The doc, or did they come to you with it?
- [89:56]
Wade Phillips
Oh, they came to. They came to us, you know, and you know, my son's in it also. I mean, I'm sitting here, but, you know, he. He's got a. He's got the Rams trophy up right behind me. I'm at his house in Minnesota right now. So it's about, you know, three generations. It's about my dad and I love you, Blue, but. And I also has, you know, things about me and about Wes, you know, being a three generation NFL coaches. So, you know, we're all. We're part of that.
- [90:31]
Adam Carolla
Yeah. Gotta be a lot of pride with that. Love you bums. The name of the film available now to stream on all major digital platforms. Thanks, Wade Phillips, Appreciate you.
