Key Segments and Insights

1. Stephanie Hodge on Comedy, Lisa Kudrow, and "Jury Duty: Company Retreat"

(01:03–25:36)

• Lisa Kudrow and Hollywood Anecdotes
  Stephanie Hodge recalls working with Lisa Kudrow and Jennifer Aniston before their fame, sharing stories about Kudrow’s transformation over the years and a funny, seemingly prophetic moment regarding Jennifer Aniston marrying Brad Pitt.

  • "She played my daughter [on 'Muddling Through']. She didn't know it was just a summer replacement series and auditioned for 'Friends.' I told her, 'You're going to get 'Friends,' you're going to marry Brad Pitt. Everything's gonna be fine.'" (05:36, Hodge)

• Discussion on Performance Ethics in Showbiz
  Adam vents about why creatives should always give their best, regardless of job security:

  • "You're the one who's not looking very funny or very interested or very good. They should know that she would perform for her." (05:14, Carolla)

• Comedy Influences and What "Works"
  Stephanie talks about her early comedy influences (Cheech & Chong, Steve Martin, Tom Lehrer). Adam then launches into a sharp critique of Cheech & Chong as "unfunny" (13:00), comparing classic ‘who’s on first’ jokes and what actually holds up as comedic structure.

  • "Cheech and Chong is wildly unfunny, insanely unfunny, and they hypnotized the nation." (14:34, Carolla)

• 'Jury Duty: Company Retreat' Behind the Scenes
  In-depth breakdown of the show’s "hidden camera" premise, ethics of pranking the lead (unknowingly), and the challenge of improvising in a fluid, unpredictable environment.

  • "There’s no script, per se. It was kind of like ‘Curb Your Enthusiasm’…you really had to rely on improv training because you don’t know how he’s going to react." (24:45, Hodge)
  • Stephanie describes the filming process, the psychological evaluation of participants, and the non-malicious nature of the pranks.

Notable:

• Adam compares the comedic validity of old bits, and explores why some "classics" fall flat while others endure.
• Both agree improv-based hidden camera shows only work if the subject feels respected and safe at the end.

2. Mayhem Miller on Ronda Rousey vs. Gina Carano

(28:41–50:03)

• Fight Preview and Analysis
  Mayhem Miller and Adam give an expert-level preview of the upcoming Rousey vs. Carano MMA bout, diving into fighting styles, strengths, fight psychology, and the impact of age and athletic prime:

  • "Ronda’s got that judo throw...it works pretty well and it’s kind of in her...The weird thing with her judo throw, I did that to everyone as a kid." (29:19, Carolla)
  • "If I’m on Gina Carano’s corner, this is the thing to look out for: that step boulder. If you give her a headlock position, you’re gonna go ass over tea kettle." (31:26, Miller)

• Strengths, Weaknesses, and Betting Odds
  They discuss physical matchups, conditioning, and the reality of "age numbers":

  • "When your number is a fighter, when one starts with a '3' and the other with a '4,' it makes a difference." (34:52, Carolla)
  • "Gina has the ability to put Ronda out. I’ve seen it." (32:09, Miller)

• Why the Fight Didn’t Happen 15 Years Ago
  Reflection on Dana White’s earlier opposition to women’s MMA and the evolution of the sport.

  • "Dana was not a big fan of women’s mixed martial arts. He said women would never fight in the UFC...This should have happened 15 years ago." (36:33, Miller)

• Showmanship vs. Competition
  A candid discussion on performance expectations in modern combat sports and the implicit agreements (or lack thereof) to entertain:

  • "Let’s make people clamor for a part two. Both give 100%…Maybe they could give us an exciting fight." (43:14, Carolla/Miller)

• Gina Carano’s Mandalorian Firing and Culture Wars
  Explores the Disney controversy around Carano’s firing over social media posts about pronouns and broader points about Hollywood hypocrisy and cancel culture.

  • "Her thing, she literally got in trouble for saying her pronouns are like ‘bing, bang, bong’ or something…she made a pronouns joke and we threw her off Disney…we were so insane back then." (45:02, Carolla)

---

3. News & Culture Commentary With Alicia Krause

(52:14–100:31)

• Trucker Nostalgia: The Glory Days are Gone (53:06–55:50) A comedic retrospective about 1970s trucker culture, its role in American myth, and how the job’s reputation has declined.

  • "Truckers were sort of common everyman heroes. First off, we made like 11 trucker movies in a four-year span." (53:42, Carolla)

• CB Radios and 'CB Savage' Song Breakdown (55:50–66:30)
  Extended riff featuring a playthrough and deconstruction of novelty song "CB Savage."

• Culture Wars: Pronouns, Political Correctness, and Sports (88:32–98:13) – Discussion of NASCAR driver Daniel Dye’s suspension after mocking another driver with a "gay voice."

[Show Producer/Announcer]

From Corolla one Studios in Glendale, California, this is the Adam Carolla Show. Adam's guest today, actress comedian Stephanie Hodges. Plus Jason Mayhem Miller. And the news with Alicia Crouse. And now Adam Caroll.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, get it on. Got to get it on. No choice. We're gonna mandate you get it on. Welcome to the show. Welcome comedian, actress Stephanie Hodges. Got a new show coming out, a couple of them. Jury duty, Company retreat. That'll be in prime video. That's coming up. And then the comeback, which is the Lisa Kudrow show, that was from a few years back, I believe, season three.

[Stephanie Hodge]

Hbo, they do one every seven years. And this is the third and final installment.

[Adam Carolla]

Is it literally every seven years?

[Stephanie Hodge]

It's been every seven years, yep.

[Adam Carolla]

So this will be 14 years or 21 years?

[Stephanie Hodge]

21 years since the first one.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, my God.

[Stephanie Hodge]

No, it's seven. It's 14 years.

[Adam Carolla]

14 years. Yeah. First one is zero, then it was

[Stephanie Hodge]

seven, then it's 14.

[Adam Carolla]

Right, right.

[Stephanie Hodge]

Oh, you confused me with math.

[Adam Carolla]

Sorry, my lady. I like Lisa Kudrow. I've known her since the Groundlings.

[Stephanie Hodge]

Yeah. That's a long time.

[Adam Carolla]

When I knew Lisa Kudrow, she was a brunette.

[Jason 'Mayhem' Miller]

No.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, yeah. If you find early pictures of Lisa Kudrow, she was brunette. And I would not call her heavy, but I would just say fuller. Fuller figure. Burnett.

[Stephanie Hodge]

She was a robust.

[Adam Carolla]

She was a little bit ro. A little bit. She was not the skinny blonde that she turned out to be later, later on in life. Oh, there's.

[Stephanie Hodge]

Look at that.

[Adam Carolla]

Lisa Kudrow, brunette. Yeah. She's dark hair. And when she was on this picture of her from Cheers from, you know, I don't know, 1989 or whatever. Whatever the heck it was. But, yeah, I knew. That's how I knew Lisa Kudrow. I did not know her as a waif blonde back in the day. I know. You go back to Jennifer Aniston, right? Yeah.

[Stephanie Hodge]

Yeah. Well, yeah, she was in this.

[Adam Carolla]

That's a.

[Stephanie Hodge]

Yes That's a yes.

[Adam Carolla]

Are you affirming that?

[Stephanie Hodge]

Yes, I am.

[Adam Carolla]

I was told you had a good story about her.

[Stephanie Hodge]

I do have a good story about her. We were in a nine episode summer replacement series series called Muddling Through.

[Adam Carolla]

What network, what year that was?

[Stephanie Hodge]

I believe that was cbs and I don't know what year it was. It was just before Friends.

[Adam Carolla]

Huh. Must have been late, late early 90s, late 80s. I don't know.

[Stephanie Hodge]

I don't know. I can't keep track of years and I quit trying.

[Adam Carolla]

Good.

[Stephanie Hodge]

It's just has no purpose. But we were doing this show and she played my daughter and she didn't know apparently that it was just a summer replacement series and they weren't telling her that it was just a summer replacement series. And she had auditioned for Friends and she wanted it badly, but was under the impression that if our show got picked up, she couldn't have Friends, of course, because it was the show she was on.

[Adam Carolla]

But a summer replacement show could get picked up, right?

[Stephanie Hodge]

It could, but this one was not going to be picked up. And I knew this and I was told not to tell her. And I thought, what cruelty is afoot here?

[Adam Carolla]

Why so much secrecy? Back in the day, they thought she

[Stephanie Hodge]

would phone in her performance on Muddling through if she knew she was going to get Friends. And I thought, what an underestimation of a phenomenally talented young woman.

[Adam Carolla]

But also, it is weird when people accuse people of possibly muddling through. Muddling through. And it's like, no, my face is out here. It I'm performing. I would never mail it in because everyone's looking at you. You know what I mean? Like, what's in it for you to mail it? I feel that way sometimes. When I used to do morning radio or even late night radio, once in a while there'd be a guest and they were like, sort of not into it. You know what I mean? And they just sort of sit there and you could tell because they'd lean back, they'd just be leaning back. But I'm like, I'm not telling you to come in here and pedal this bike for me. You're the one who's not looking very funny or very interested or very good. They should know that she would perform for her.

[Stephanie Hodge]

Yeah, they should have.

[Adam Carolla]

I would have told her if I were you.

[Stephanie Hodge]

I did.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, you did?

[Stephanie Hodge]

Yeah, I did. And I told. Well, I didn't tell her directly, but she was. She and I were talking one day, one afternoon, and I just put my arms around her and I Said, honey, you have nothing to worry about. The show is gonna end. You're gonna get friends. You're gonna marry Brad Pitt. Everything's gonna be fine. And I threw the Brad Pitt thing in there just as a fluke, you know, just kind of make it light and silly.

[Adam Carolla]

You did not.

[Stephanie Hodge]

I did, too. I swear to God. I made up Brad Pitt.

[Adam Carolla]

You called Brad Pitt before Brad Pitt?

[Stephanie Hodge]

Yes, I did.

[Show Producer/Announcer]

Wow.

[Stephanie Hodge]

I know.

[Adam Carolla]

I mean, I guess it could happen because he was considered eligible and great looking. So if you're saying to a young woman, it's all gonna work out, then in a weird way, it's like, you're gonna marry the prince.

[Stephanie Hodge]

What could be better than her getting friends, marrying Brad Pitt? So I threw it in there.

[Adam Carolla]

You threw it in. And she married Brad Pitt, what, five years later.

[Stephanie Hodge]

Never thanked me.

[Adam Carolla]

Never thanked. Oh, my God. You willed it into existence. You know what I used to tell people? I haven't thought about this in a million years, but you made me think about it with Brad Pitt. Jennifer Aniston. When I was taking over for Howard Stern in Los Angeles and on the west coast, it was me. Howard was going off of terrestrial radio, and then I was going to take over for him in terrestrial radio. And it was like, I don't know, 06. Whenever he went to serious examination. Anyway, people come up to me and they go, taking over for Howard Stern. That's gotta be a daunting task. Like, you must really be nervous or apprehensive about taking over for a legend like Howard Stern, because, you know, the first thing happens is people go, he's no Howard Stern. I miss Stern, or whatever that is. And I said, well, it's a pretty big opportunity. And she said. They said, yeah, but aren't you sure you want to take over for Howard Stern? I said, it's funny. I would say, listen, Jennifer Aniston was married to Brad Pitt. And if someone said to me, how do you feel about having sex with Jennifer Aniston after she was with Brad Pitt? I'd go, I'm still doing it, fuckers. Yeah, I'm in. I get it. He looks pretty good in his underpants. But I still get Jennifer Aniston. And I would not say no to that. And then everyone would look at me and go, well, I guess when you

[Stephanie Hodge]

put it that way, it's reasonable.

[Adam Carolla]

It makes sense. I had to evoke Jennifer Aniston having sex with Jennifer Aniston. So. God, I'd love to know. What? I'd love to know that replacement sitcom was anyone else in that thing.

[Stephanie Hodge]

Um, let me think.

[Adam Carolla]

And you called Brad Pitt.

[Stephanie Hodge]

No. Yeah, I called Brad Pitt, and then

[Adam Carolla]

she did that, and now she's just Jennifer Aniston.

[Stephanie Hodge]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

Beloved.

[Stephanie Hodge]

She is beloved.

[Adam Carolla]

I don't know why we need to love her as much as we do, but we somehow look at it. We come to a consensus.

[Stephanie Hodge]

She's like a koala bear.

[Adam Carolla]

She is. You want to hold her and hug her. Who cares if she has syphilis? We don't care. Well, I'm not. She has syphilis. But koalas. Koala bears, Right.

[Stephanie Hodge]

I didn't remember that part about the koala bear.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, I've got to bring it up to your attention.

[Stephanie Hodge]

And she doesn't have a vicious nature, to my knowledge.

[Adam Carolla]

She's a very kind person. I've been in social settings with her.

[Stephanie Hodge]

She's very nice. She's sweet.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, I think there's certain people who feel compelled to maintain their niceness. Now, I'm not saying they're doing it out of obligation, but I think they do realize. Like, I remember seeing George Clooney at a party, and I was like, oh, my God, that's George Clooney. And then, you know, I'm sort of wired. If people go, are you going to say hi to George Clooney? I go, I don't want to bother George. He doesn't know. You know, I'm not gonna. And I saw him, and he goes, hey, Adam, come here. And he, like, hugged it out, right? But I started realize that when you're George Clooney, you can't leave people with stories about that guy's such a douche. You know what I mean? Like, you kind of. It's a little bit of pressure to be Jennifer Aniston or George Clooney. And if you're shitty to someone at a party, they're gonna talk about it. And you can't be that. Like, it's like, you know, if you are an anonymous person and you feel like smoking a cigarette outside of LAX before you head in, you just go the curb and do it. But if you're a celebrity, there's gonna be tmz. They're gonna take pictures of you. You have to sort of think about it a little bit. And if you're George Clooney or you're Jennifer Aniston, you have to kind of go through life realizing that every waiter, every waitress, every person at the airport, everyone, that's all gonna be. That's what they're gonna remember. And if you're Douchey. They're gonna have a story about it.

[Stephanie Hodge]

That's awful. That must be awful.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, or you can just be nice all the time, and then no one has any douchey stories. Then people go the other way. They go, oh, I met Jennifer, and she was so nice. But I think they realize it and they have to work at it a little bit.

[Stephanie Hodge]

I would think so. Because I would think it would get scary. When people are scared, they get defensive. So, I mean, people coming at you

[Adam Carolla]

would get scary, I guess, if you're a woman. Yeah. Less for guys, probably.

[Stephanie Hodge]

I would imagine. A lot less for guys.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. I mean, I've had people come up to me all the time. I never bothered.

[Stephanie Hodge]

You're not scared?

[Adam Carolla]

No. But I grew up with, you know, guys and headlocks and wrestling and stuff. Real rough and tumble stuff. So I never really grow up that way bothered me. Where'd you grow up?

[Stephanie Hodge]

I grew up. I grew up in southern Ohio in a little town called Wilmington.

[Adam Carolla]

And when did comedy crop up for you?

[Stephanie Hodge]

My parents were very funny people, and my dad made sure that I knew about comedy. And he got me albums. He got me Cheech and Chong albums, and he got me Steve Martin albums, and he got me the Vatican Rag. And what was his name? What was that guy's name?

[Adam Carolla]

I'll think of it. Playing the piano.

[Stephanie Hodge]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, it was. They used to have those personalities, used to be doing the Vatican Rag. It was like a mermaid who sung Vatican Rag.

[Show Producer/Announcer]

Tom Lehrer.

[Adam Carolla]

That could be. Could be Tom Lehre. That would be a good poll for you, Dawson. Yeah, it turns out. I know it sounds sacrilegious, but it turns out Cheech and Chong weren't funny, either one of them. And everyone loves Cheech and Chong, but their stuff doesn't hold up at all.

[Stephanie Hodge]

No.

[Adam Carolla]

And it's not funny, and it's not clever, like, Bob's not here or whatever the fuck they're doing. And by the way, both of them together aren't funny and had never. Here's the thing. How can you be funny except for you weren't funny since 1974? Like, how is this. It's a weird thing. Like, they're never. It's sort of. I try to have conversations with people about, like, Janet Jackson, you know, like, she's not a musician. Like, if Sheila. She's a musician, she doesn't play, she doesn't sing. She doesn't do anything. Like, she's not. It's like saying, you know, like, there's some people that they call Themselves, stand up comedians. And the second they make money, they never do stand up comedy ever again. That's not. You're not a stand up comedian. Jerry Seinfeld's a stand. Jerry Seinfeld's a billionaire, and he's out somewhere doing comedy tonight because he's a stand up comedian. Xi Jin Chong. Not funny. Not at all. And by the way, if they were, you'd know it.

[Show Producer/Announcer]

When I was in third or fourth grade, they were the funniest thing in the world, which says something.

[Adam Carolla]

But if.

[Show Producer/Announcer]

If we played a good basketball game, our coach, when he was driving us home after the game, he told us, if you play good today, you can listen to Cheech and Chong's greatest hit in the car on the way home. And that was the biggest treat for

[Adam Carolla]

us doing the Vatican rag.

[Show Producer/Announcer]

I have that if you want.

[Adam Carolla]

What is. Who is. Is that. Is it who we thought it was?

[Show Producer/Announcer]

If this is the version, it's Tom Lehrer.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, good call. First you get down on your knees,

[Comedy Bit Performer]

fiddle with your rosary.

[Stephanie Hodge]

All right, there we go.

[Adam Carolla]

That's it. You got it. Your dad was nice. Yeah. Cheech and Chong is wildly unfunny, insanely unfunny, and they hypnotized the nation. And I really remember being like, one of the few guys, even back in the day was just going, I don't. I don't get it. I don't think any of this is clever. It's not funny, it's not interesting. But then there are famous bits. Like when you listen to arguably the most famous comedy bit of all time is who's on first.

[Stephanie Hodge]

Right?

[Adam Carolla]

And you watch that bit, which I did the other day, and it's like, who's on first? No, that's who. What's his name? What's his name? Play center field. None of these are names. None of them are names. So the bit doesn't work. Well, here's what I'm saying. Here's what I'm saying. All right? Is everyone listening?

[Stephanie Hodge]

Yes.

[Adam Carolla]

When that scene. Find the scene. Andrew from Airplane, the first airplane, when they're up in the cockpit and they're trying to take off and they're on the radio with the control tower. Do you remember that scene?

[Stephanie Hodge]

Yes.

[Adam Carolla]

What do you remember about that scene?

[Stephanie Hodge]

Don't call me Shirley.

[Adam Carolla]

Right, but not in that scene.

[Stephanie Hodge]

Not in that scene. Well, then I don't remember that scene.

[Adam Carolla]

Just testing you. One of the guys name was Roger, but Roger's also what you say to the control tower, but there's nobody name taxi on Runway seven. So it doesn't work. The joke wouldn't work if you go, taxi on Runway seven. That's my name. No, taxi on Runway. Who are you talking about? No, everyone. There's Roger. There's like three names.

[Show Producer/Announcer]

There's Roger, there's Victor. What's your vector?

[Adam Carolla]

Right.

[Stephanie Hodge]

And then over.

[Show Producer/Announcer]

Unger.

[Adam Carolla]

Right, right, right. It works because there are actual names that also mean actual things. Somebody told me once it was the late, great Fred Willard. The late, great Fred Willard. I sat next to on a long flight back from Nicest Guy in the World, by the way. And he said, we used to do a who's on first? Bit, like back in the day, but it was for rock bands. And we'd go, I'm going out, seeing who. Who? Who, Guess who. Wait, who's opening for them? Guess who. I don't want to guess. Tell me who's opening for who. Guess who. I'm not guessing anymore. Right. And so you can do a whole version of that that actually works, but I don't know his name, and that's his brother and he hasn't been paid yet. Are not names. Those aren't names. So the bit who's on first, what's on second, I don't know. Is on third. There's nobody named that.

[Stephanie Hodge]

I never realized it didn't work before.

[Adam Carolla]

It doesn't work all right now, but this does work, because this is Airplane's version of who's on first, but it actually lives somewhere. That makes sense, sir. All the time. I swear to you, darling. Take care of yourself. Goodbye. Flight 2009er, you are cleared for takeoff.

[Show Producer/Announcer]

Roger.

[Comedy Bit Performer]

Huh.

[Adam Carolla]

Louisiana departure frequency 123 point niner.

[Show Producer/Announcer]

Roger.

[Adam Carolla]

Hi. Request vector. Over. What? Flight 200 niner clear for vector 324. We have clearance, Clarence.

[Show Producer/Announcer]

Roger, roger. What's our vector?

[Comedy Bit Performer]

Victor?

[Adam Carolla]

All right. Oh, actually, the bit goes on. Wait, play it. Sorry. It goes on for another 10 seconds or something. Over. Roger, Roger. Over. All right. All right. That's who's on first with normal names. But no one is named ailerons or flaps or Full throttle since those aren't names. So then it wouldn't work. Sorry.

[Stephanie Hodge]

No, I have never. I didn't realize it didn't work.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, the whole premise is that it's a name.

[Stephanie Hodge]

Well, see, if I'd been thinking, I would have realized.

[Adam Carolla]

But, you know, you thought about it.

[Stephanie Hodge]

I did think about it. I actually did that bit.

[Adam Carolla]

You did?

[Stephanie Hodge]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

When did you do that bit?

[Stephanie Hodge]

I used to travel around doing teaching theater to kids in elementary schools. Just little full day, sort of fun thing to do with kids. And so the person that I did this with, we would do who's on first for the kids, and the little kids loved it. They would just roll in the floor and giggle.

[Adam Carolla]

Cause it's a rhythmic thing, but it's not a sensical thing.

[Stephanie Hodge]

Yeah. And if you grab your head and scream every once in a while, they like that too.

[Adam Carolla]

So sorry. Jury duty. That was wildly successful. Is that James Franco? Who was that? Who did that? Wait, the other. The guy reminds me of James Franco. Who's the other guy that was.

[Stephanie Hodge]

Why am I blanking?

[Show Producer/Announcer]

Oh, my God.

[Adam Carolla]

James Marsden.

[Stephanie Hodge]

James Marsden. Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

It got the same look almost. One guy got me tooed, I think. But James Marsden, that's what it is. That's his thing, right?

[Stephanie Hodge]

Yes.

[Adam Carolla]

And he had a whole bunch of success doing that a few years ago, right?

[Stephanie Hodge]

Yes.

[Adam Carolla]

And now they're bringing it back.

[Stephanie Hodge]

They won a Peabody Award for the first time.

[Adam Carolla]

Yes. Crazy.

[Stephanie Hodge]

And he was nominated for an Emmy for the first one.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. It was wildly successful.

[Stephanie Hodge]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

And basically, it's undercover.

[Stephanie Hodge]

You're everybody in this. Everybody in it, except for the one person is an actor, Right? Everybody.

[Adam Carolla]

And they just think they're going to jury duty. And then hijinks ensue.

[Stephanie Hodge]

Yes, they do. And ours is at a corporate retreat. So our hero comes in and thinks he's temporary assistant for the corporate retreat. So we're in the woods. We're in a cabin. We're in cabins. We have a rec center.

[Adam Carolla]

Right.

[Stephanie Hodge]

We have snakes and spiders.

[Adam Carolla]

So it's jury duty, company retreat. But it's just company. It's the jury duty is where it started. But this is company. And so this is an entire. It's interesting. Yeah. I actually made a movie called Windy City Heat that starred a guy who didn't know he was starring in a movie. He thought he was starring in an action movie. Turned out he was starring in our movie, which is sort of the same premise. Everyone was in on it. But the one guy who. At least he thought he was in a movie, your guy. Are the cameras hidden everywhere?

[Stephanie Hodge]

They're hidden everywhere. They're behind walls. They're in. There were carts that were set out like little horse carts with no horses, of course. And they were just there for decoration, you know? But inside those carts were men with cameras.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, wow.

[Stephanie Hodge]

And they were all scrunched up inside these little carts.

[Adam Carolla]

Where'd you film it?

[Stephanie Hodge]

We filmed it in. At a ranch in Agoura, just between Malibu and the highway. Basically. And it's a horse ranch. Used to be a horse ranch.

[Adam Carolla]

You gotta get. The person's gotta sign off though, when you're done. Right. So you can't sign off before you do it.

[Stephanie Hodge]

No.

[Adam Carolla]

Because you don't know you're doing it.

[Stephanie Hodge]

No.

[Adam Carolla]

So there's always the risk that the person doesn't sign off on it.

[Stephanie Hodge]

Well, they go through the whole process of getting into being hired is. It was very extensive. They put an ad on, I think it was Craigslist. And they get these people who apply because it's a very well paying job, it pays a little extra and I don't know exactly what they pay for it.

[Adam Carolla]

The job he thinks he's doing.

[Stephanie Hodge]

Yes.

[Adam Carolla]

Right.

[Stephanie Hodge]

And it's in California and it's on a ranch, so doesn't it sound like fun? So he's from Tennessee, so he sees this, he applies for it. And you go through several periods of questioning and a psychological evaluation. And he just wanted the job. So he figured why not, you know, go through what you have to go through to get the job. It sounds great. Go to California, spend a few weeks.

[Adam Carolla]

Right. But he doesn't know he's on a TV show.

[Stephanie Hodge]

No. He has absolutely no idea what.

[Adam Carolla]

Right. So. But he starts to sign off on that, right?

[Stephanie Hodge]

Yeah. He signs off on the job and he's going to be outside in the.

[Adam Carolla]

Wait, wait, he's signing off on a job? He's not signing off to be on tv?

[Stephanie Hodge]

No.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, I'm saying you have to get him to sign at the end to be on tv.

[Stephanie Hodge]

Yes, we do. And when the reveal is over, he signs those papers.

[Adam Carolla]

Right. Sometimes people don't want to sign if you screw with them too much.

[Stephanie Hodge]

Well, but we don't screw with them. That's the thing. There's nothing. There's no bad jokes, there's no practical jokes. It's all very friendly and very loving and very kind. There's no nasty.

[Adam Carolla]

Okay.

[Stephanie Hodge]

Not a bit of nasty.

[Adam Carolla]

Wow. Because normally that's where the comedy comes in, the screwing with them part.

[Stephanie Hodge]

But we don't.

[Adam Carolla]

All right. It's still funny.

[Stephanie Hodge]

It's very funny. All right, so we screw with each other, right? And we get ourselves into predicaments and he rescues us, he helps us.

[Adam Carolla]

Right. He has to react.

[Stephanie Hodge]

He talks to us. He talks us down, you know, three episodes dropping this Friday. They're doing.

[Adam Carolla]

And you're playing what part?

[Stephanie Hodge]

I'm playing Helen Schaeffer. She runs the books at the hot sauce company at Rockin Grandma's.

[Adam Carolla]

That's gotta be fun. Cause you get to improvise.

[Stephanie Hodge]

Oh, it's so much fun. It's so much fun. It's terrifying. It's like taking care of an elderly person in your family before they die. It's a great honor and it's terrifying.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. And there is no script.

[Stephanie Hodge]

Well, there was a script in that. There was a plan, a beginning, middle,

[Adam Carolla]

and an end in Beats, but there

[Stephanie Hodge]

wasn't a script, per se.

[Adam Carolla]

It was kind of like curb your enthusiasm or something.

[Stephanie Hodge]

Yeah. And there were times when there were specific lines that they wanted us to get out.

[Adam Carolla]

Right.

[Stephanie Hodge]

So we had to improvise.

[Adam Carolla]

Right. But you never know. You have to be fluid and rely on your improv training because you don't know how he's gonna react.

[Stephanie Hodge]

He was pretty amazing. It was freaky because there were times that we had to get him to do a certain thing and we weren't sure how we were gonna get him there from where we were. But we had to do it and we had to do it fast. And by God, every time we'd get in that situation, he'd turn around. I was thinking we should do this, and it would be the thing we had to get him to do.

[Adam Carolla]

Wow. Yeah. It's an interesting psychological sort of experiment. Think about it. So that is this Friday.

[Stephanie Hodge]

Yes.

[Adam Carolla]

Jury duty, company retreat, and then also the Comeback. The comeback, season three after 14 years on HBO. Stephanie, thanks for joining me.

[Stephanie Hodge]

Well, thank you.

[Jason 'Mayhem' Miller]

Ronda Rousey, Gina Carano. It's going down May 16th. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm right.

[Adam Carolla]

Yes. All right, first off, I'm guessing Ronda's gonna be a favorite in this fight.

[Jason 'Mayhem' Miller]

Champion. Former champion.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. And she's got that judo throws stuff and it works pretty well and it's kind of in her and it's hard

[Jason 'Mayhem' Miller]

to avoid time and time again, I said it. You coach them kids from a young age and certain things just stick. The strength becomes crystalline by the teenage years.

[Adam Carolla]

The weird thing with her judo throw move, which is so weird, all I did when I was a kid was wrestle other kids and I was really good at it until puberty kicked in and then it all just, you know, like everyone, what it was is puberty didn't hurt me. It helped everyone else, and it didn't do any. I just flatlined.

[Jason 'Mayhem' Miller]

You just hit an advantage like you were just born with the massive amounts of testosterone. That's what happened.

[Adam Carolla]

Huh? I was born with some sort of weird balance thing that enabled me to throw anyone on the ground and never be thrown on the ground myself.

[Jason 'Mayhem' Miller]

I had the same phenomenon. Couldn't. About 12 years old, old Ray landed on me and just ground and pounded my face in the dirt. And then I never went for that judo throw. Quite the same.

[Adam Carolla]

I never. Well, so what happened was, is puberty kicked in, and then everyone got real strong, and then I had no more superpowers, and it was all downhill. But when I was little, we didn't play football like five on five. We played a game called Tackle Adam because it took all 10 of them to tackle me, and they couldn't do it.

[Jason 'Mayhem' Miller]

I had a similar phenomenon.

[Adam Carolla]

I'd be knocked off my feet. But when I see Rhonda do the judo throw, I did that to everyone. I never trained. I never saw it. I never did anything. I instinctively grabbed everyone by the thing and stuck my leg out and just threw them and landed on. And I would leave him alone.

[Jason 'Mayhem' Miller]

Childhood Osoto Gari, I believe it's called.

[Adam Carolla]

I was super nice, but I would throw. I threw everyone. And I see her sticking her foot out, and I see the thing, and I go, that person's gonna be on their back.

[Jason 'Mayhem' Miller]

If I'm on Gina Carano's corner, this is the thing to look out for that step Boulder. If you get a headlock position, you know, if you give her a headlock position, you're gonna go ass over tea kettle, flop on the ground, and then she's gonna climb into an arm bar. This is exactly what she does and what she's done since child.

[Adam Carolla]

So with her mom. So you gotta go Holly Holmes. You gotta go distance. And now Holly is pretty long. And Holly's long. And Holly can box because Holly boxed. And so she would strike, and she would use the kicks, and she would stretch it out. I'll tell you what.

[Jason 'Mayhem' Miller]

Gina Carano has hands. She puts them to use. She's a kickboxer by nature. I don't know how her training has been for this, you know, run up to this, because now the training right now should be in full swing. But, yeah, Gina Carano has the ability to put Ronda out. It's documented. I've seen it before.

[Adam Carolla]

And Ronda can be put out. Rousey 57% chance on polymarket. So the Betting market has her just slight favorite. Slight favorite, I guess. But Andrew, I don't know anything about polymarket. When it's 57% chance of winning, does that mean 43% chance of winning for. She's the favor? 50, 57% chance of winning? Yeah. Yeah. Does that mean that there's a 43% chance? Does the math just work out that way? That's correct. Okay, so they split it. So some, you know, sometimes, like when they do governmental polls, they go 61% of Americans are against ICE and then only 27 or 4% for it. I'm like, that doesn't add up to 100% though. But this is how they do it. All right, so she's a favorite, but not a massive.

[Jason 'Mayhem' Miller]

Yeah, I think that that's based on everyone putting money in.

[Adam Carolla]

Right.

[Jason 'Mayhem' Miller]

And the smart money.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah.

[Jason 'Mayhem' Miller]

Might be on Rhonda.

[Adam Carolla]

Rhonda younger.

[Jason 'Mayhem' Miller]

Yeah, that's it. But Gina is a little, little bigger. Like, if I remember correctly, she's just a little stronger. It's kind of a bigger woman. And the weight class, they'll both cut to the same weight, but on the night of. I think Gina will come in a little bigger.

[Adam Carolla]

Are they doing a catch weight?

[Jason 'Mayhem' Miller]

I have, you know, look, I have the. Well, go look it up.

[Adam Carolla]

I want to know.

[Jason 'Mayhem' Miller]

I'm looking it up for you right now. But it didn't. It didn't come across my sheet. I'm guessing it's.

[Adam Carolla]

Or do they even care? I mean, you know, Mike Tyson, it's on Netflix. Aaron Paul, right?

[Jason 'Mayhem' Miller]

Yeah, it should, you know, it's one of those. This is kind of the way the market is blowing right now, because the Paramount deal and now that UFC is over there on Paramount, there's a. There's, you know, new opportunities opening up for mixed martial artists. And this is one of them. The Paul brothers are coming up. Yeah. 145 pound featherweight belt.

[Adam Carolla]

Right.

[Jason 'Mayhem' Miller]

All right, so these are some strong ladies right here.

[Adam Carolla]

What is. What is everyone's age? Because Rousey may be a little bit younger.

[Jason 'Mayhem' Miller]

A bit.

[Adam Carolla]

She kind of retired early. I mean, she took a couple losses and I get it. But she still retired a little bit. Little bit early. Yeah.

[Jason 'Mayhem' Miller]

Five years.

[Adam Carolla]

Carano's 44 and she's 39. I gotta tell you, when your number is a fighter or as a lover, when one starts with a three and the other starts with a four, it makes a difference. I can tell you, as a man of a certain age, you hit 40, things start. I mean, there's a reason why there Are, if you really think about it, there are tons of guys in the NFL and in the NBA whose number starts with a three and almost no one whose number starts with a four. So you go, well, there's Aaron Rodgers and then there's that fat punter or something. But I mean, think about if you want to know the difference between being in your 30s and being in your 40s. Being in your 30s means starting in the NFL. Being in your 40s means nobody. Nobody in the NFL. Right.

[Jason 'Mayhem' Miller]

Strength and conditioning coach.

[Adam Carolla]

Right, Right. And then there's, you know, there's the LeBron James is of the world. Steph Curry. I don't know Steph Curry, 40 yet or whatever. Whatever he is. But the point is, is Yane, once you get to 40, it thins out.

[Jason 'Mayhem' Miller]

It'll start aging out.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah.

[Jason 'Mayhem' Miller]

You know, the interesting thing about that fight is that, yeah, the experience shows and Rhonda will be a favorite. But, you know, Gina has that ability. And like you said, Rhonda's been knocked out before. We've all seen it. And that does follow you throughout your life.

[Adam Carolla]

Why wasn't this fight made back in the day? I mean, Dana. Dana likely.

[Jason 'Mayhem' Miller]

Yeah, Dana was not a big fan of women's mixed martial arts, because I remember he did not. He said he wouldn't. Women would never fight in the ufc. Didn't want to give them that opportunity. But meanwhile, we were on the smaller shortcuts watching the women fight. And they were exciting, man. And this one has all the makings of an exciting fight. Maybe not the best quality. The competitors are. This should have happened 15 years ago, but hey, I'll take what I can get.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. Dana doesn't like to see women being punched, but if he's in Mexico and she throws the first one, it's a counter. Yeah, it's a counter. But here's the point, by the way. Women, I wanna say this, and I think people should know this, and I've tried to warn women about this, cuz I see on the Internet, I see what goes on on the Internet. Women, there is a new world order. Guys punch back. Back in the day, you just smacked Clark Gable and he didn't do anything. We are living in a new world order.

[Show Producer/Announcer]

Yeah.

[Jason 'Mayhem' Miller]

You're like, frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn. Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

You punch a dude, especially a brother, there is going to be a counter and it's gonna be your face. And he hits hard. So do not think you can smack guys anymore.

[Jason 'Mayhem' Miller]

Guys, the Internet is going wild with

[Adam Carolla]

these type of Videos you could smack. I've been punched by a woman. I did not counter punch.

[Jason 'Mayhem' Miller]

I used to date exclusively fighters and they punch. Oh, yeah, they punch back. Hey, they counter.

[Adam Carolla]

They recounter.

[Jason 'Mayhem' Miller]

Hey. They roll under and hook.

[Adam Carolla]

I feel like women need a wake up call, which is you will get punched back. Now, maybe your grandmother didn't get punched back, but you will get punched back. That's the new world order.

[Jason 'Mayhem' Miller]

They won that game though, because then they start calling the cops, which, by

[Adam Carolla]

the way, you will see people wearing pajamas at the airport. That. It's a new world order. Get used to it. All right, so we think, I think I would put the money on Ronda, but it might be a fun fight. And women, here's the thing about women fights, they fight a little more with their heart, a little more ferociously. They're kind of like Mexican prize fighters. You know, they've got a little more bravado because men, I think men have to kind of respect the other guy's power a little bit. It's two parts. I want to hit the person, but I do not want to get knocked out. Women get hit and it makes them angry and they go after the person harder. And that's why you get a more exciting fight. It's like Mexican prize fighters.

[Jason 'Mayhem' Miller]

Well, before you get to that Mexican, you know, you might want to bring up Ronda Rousey shadow boxing there in the booth, guys, before the Ace man locks in his big bet. Because I know he likes to go huge on these bets. So just bring it up because, you know, Ace man was a boxing coach and I want to, I want to get his ideas on Ronda Rousey's shadow boxing.

[Adam Carolla]

I will, I will tell you this and I will, I will gladly, I will say this, and you know this. You can tell. You don't need to see a guy hit a heavy bag, hit a speed bag, hit a double ended bag, don't show it yet. You don't need a guy to do any of that. You need a guy to shadow box. And by the way, if a guy shadow boxes and it's weird, I'm not going to say 30 seconds, I'm going to say seven seconds. Seven seconds of shadowboxing will let you know all you need to know about if a guy's got hands or not. By the way, if you said to me, you want to know if this guy can box, I'd go, give me 20 seconds of skipping rope and give me 10 seconds of shadow boxing and I'll know everything I need to know. About this guy's ability. You show me a guy skips rope like his feet are cement or can't do it, or the shadow. Every movie, every boxing movie that fucks itself up, does it? Not with the fight scenes, because the fight scenes are choreographed, you know, and they put the sound in and they do that stuff. When you watch the Great White Hope and you see Pete Berg as the Irish heavyweight and they bring him in the ring, I don't even think they tell the actor what to do, but the guy's a boxer in the movie, and they show him in the corner warming up, and you just look at it and you go, that guy doesn't

[Jason 'Mayhem' Miller]

know how to buy.

[Adam Carolla]

Does not know how.

[Jason 'Mayhem' Miller]

All right, with all that in mind, I mean, would you like to watch maybe 20, 30 seconds of Ronda Ross shadow boxing?

[Adam Carolla]

This is from when.

[Jason 'Mayhem' Miller]

Here's 10 seconds exactly as ordered.

[Adam Carolla]

Is this old? Oh, 20, 25. Okay. This is only four months old. Three months old. Okay, here we go.

[Alicia Krause]

Oh,

[Adam Carolla]

also, there's a. Yeah, there's a little part, too, where they chose to put it up on the Internet, which is kind of a little like. Yeah.

[Jason 'Mayhem' Miller]

Suspect, huh?

[Adam Carolla]

This looks a little tough. Yeah, yeah. It doesn't. I mean, her left, she. Okay, she threw a left uppercut and a left hook. She turned it over and she kind of came up and turned it over, and that was kind of. Okay, she goes up. She turned her hook over. Okay. The rest looked a little chaotic.

[Jason 'Mayhem' Miller]

Just the footwork to me. See, I think what we're having here is her footwork is locked in from judo, but then her arm work is pretty good. Like somebody's holding the pads pretty good for her. But it just. She's not turning that hip over.

[Adam Carolla]

You know, there's not a fluidity.

[Jason 'Mayhem' Miller]

No, she's square and everything's real tight. Like she's been holding. Like someone's been holding pads for.

[Adam Carolla]

Square up a little bit. Yeah.

[Jason 'Mayhem' Miller]

So I think that, you know, it's possible that Gina could exploit that. You know, this is the area the rest of the fight, I think, is an advantage towards Rhonda, the clench game. She's going to throw her if the takedowns, you know, maybe she.

[Adam Carolla]

How much. How much of this. It's not a sanctioned fight.

[Jason 'Mayhem' Miller]

Yeah. This is interesting. They always.

[Adam Carolla]

How much of this is this mayhem where I go, luck. We're both going to try as hard as we can, but if this thing ends in the first 30 seconds, there's not going to be a part two. And it's, you know, like, let's, let's, let's make it exciting. Yeah. I'm not telling you what to do, but I'm saying, you know, let's give the crowd what they paid for. Let's, let's have a go, a few rounds. Let's, let's trade a little bit. Like, let's.

[Jason 'Mayhem' Miller]

If I'm sitting against the position, I would encourage the women to do just this. In fact, like, my fighters, I don't go for like the guy who's like, particularly like a boring, one sided type fighter that only wins. I'm looking for fighters that wow, you know, I'd rather you wow than win. I want to put on a great show for the audience because we all know what mixed martial arts looks like at the highest level. Let's see what it looks like when it's the most exciting.

[Stephanie Hodge]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

Let's make people clamor for a part two versus, you know, Hearns, Hagler like this.

[Jason 'Mayhem' Miller]

Both guys give like 100% effort.

[Adam Carolla]

Right.

[Jason 'Mayhem' Miller]

Like a non stop war. I mean, it's rare that you get that. And, you know, maybe Gina and Rousey can, man. Maybe they can make this happen. Maybe they could give us an exciting fight.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, it'd be nice. I think it has more potential than Paul and Tyson, for sure. It's mixed martial arts. It's women, they're younger, and I don't know if there's bad blood, but no,

[Jason 'Mayhem' Miller]

there was a little beef because they missed each other. Like I said, they didn't make this fight 15 years ago. So there's a little, you know, what would happen if. Because Gina was like, she was the lady for a long time in women's mixed martial arts.

[Adam Carolla]

Right.

[Jason 'Mayhem' Miller]

And then Rhonda came and eclipsed her and kind of stole the whole spotlight.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah.

[Jason 'Mayhem' Miller]

So Gina has a chance to go ahead and take that back from her.

[Adam Carolla]

And then there was the Mandalorian thing where Gina got screwed.

[Jason 'Mayhem' Miller]

Yeah, she's like the first one in the free speech wars.

[Adam Carolla]

Right.

[Jason 'Mayhem' Miller]

Like, they, they executed her to scare everyone else.

[Adam Carolla]

You want to talk about, like, you have to go back and examine some of these Covid discussions we were having and some of the ideas we're having to go, holy shit, we were fucking insane. Like, we. I can't believe this is modern times. Her thing, she literally, she got into trouble for saying that her pronouns are like bing, bang, bong or something like that. She made a joke about pronouns she made. She's a professional fighter who's an action movie star who made a joke. My pronouns are like shyamalana, ding dong or something like that. She made a pronouns joke and we threw her off of Disney for making a joke. Not cussing out black people, not dropping n bombs, not saying all those gays should take a hike to hell. Bebop boop is what she said her pronouns were. And that was enough to trigger the mob. And we were so insane back then that we went along with it. Nobody piped up and went, what are you doing? You can't fire someone from their job for making a stupid joke. And by the way, what are your fucking pronouns? Who gives a shit?

[Jason 'Mayhem' Miller]

The funny part is the next Pixar film is Bebop Boop.

[Adam Carolla]

Really?

[Jason 'Mayhem' Miller]

Yeah, yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

Those are the characters she and she had. She got tossed for Bebop boop as her pronoun.

[Jason 'Mayhem' Miller]

Really? That was the official stated. I mean, you know what statement?

[Adam Carolla]

Well, what it was is they realized. That's when they realized she was on the other side. And that's what I got. That's what happened. They go like, where's your mask? I don't wear a mask. Oh, you don't wear a mask, do you? Now I know what side you're on. But by the way, it's like I said, Oakley blades on your trucker hat, on the brim. We know how you vote. No, what it was is she made fun of pronouns, which means we know how you vote, which means you voted for Trump, which means you're out of here.

[Jason 'Mayhem' Miller]

Doesn't seem particularly hateful, what she said. I mean, I think these are the before times, right? This is before everyone kind of went, all right, maybe we went too far.

[Adam Carolla]

This is Salem witch hunt times. And you know the real comedy of these times? This is done by the Hollywood community. And the Hollywood community never stops fucking bitching about McCarthyism. They never fucking stop about notice when they're McCarthy. Oh, my God. Well, I want to say this to all the assholes like George Takei and all the people that worried about Japanese internment camps or McCarthyism. Okay, let me explain something. We didn't do the Japanese internment camps because we were inherently cruel. We did it because you guys bombed Pearl harbor and we freaked out, okay? And McCarthyism was born of communism, which was a real thing and was a real thing here in the United States and was responsible for killing millions of people around the world. So maybe it was an overreaction, but was an overreaction to something that was a horrible scourge that could destroy our country. So one was Pearl Harbor. The other was Communism, which destroys countries. So we reacted. And with the reaction, there were people that were unfairly punished, which happens every time. There's a big reaction to something, but it meant something. Gina Carano didn't mean anything. And all the Hollywood assholes attacked her anyway. And the ones who never stopped bitching about McCarthyism attacked her. That's what happened. So fuck off. And you're wildly inconsistent. They literally never stopped talking about the scourge of McCarthyism and meanwhile trying to run people out of their jobs and out of Hollywood who say anything they disagree with, when, by the way, not recognizing pronouns is not inherently dangerous to anybody, cuz they don't really exist. And you assholes made this up 10 minutes ago. But McCarthyism gets millions of people. I should say communism gets millions of people killed every year. And they starved.

[Jason 'Mayhem' Miller]

Well, I mean, the Mandalorian was a bounty hunter. Murdered many, many people.

[Adam Carolla]

That's a good point. All right, so Mayhem, you're gonna say, who we going with with this fight? Get on record.

[Jason 'Mayhem' Miller]

I want Gina to get in there.

[Adam Carolla]

I do too.

[Jason 'Mayhem' Miller]

I want Gina to get in there.

[Adam Carolla]

I want her to, you know, even

[Jason 'Mayhem' Miller]

though that Rhonda's like, been bringing up the pay scale for fighters and kind of like doing some really good, they're getting paid, I don't know, millions. Yeah, because Jake Paul is putting it out there. You know what I mean? He's getting these. Signing these big fights.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah.

[Jason 'Mayhem' Miller]

So way to go, Jake.

[Adam Carolla]

All right, so by the way, you got a fighting championship coming up.

[Jason 'Mayhem' Miller]

Oh, me the oh, up next guy? Yeah, I got plenty of guys fighting this weekend. Eleven to be exact. I got Jesse Langarika fighting at the up next fighting championship in Los Angeles.

[Adam Carolla]

Lobo Langaria. Lobo Langarika. All right, so where should people go for your stuff? Oh, man.

[Adam Carolla]

Hey Adam, semi truck driver here. Just wanted to say that my grandma is 84 years young and she has put nothing in her body liquid wise except diet coke since the day it was invented. So so much for need to drink like 2 or 300 ounces of water a day, huh? Thank you so much for what you do. And you really make the miles roll by easy. Get it on.

[Show Producer/Announcer]

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

[Adam Carolla]

Trucker man, you're too young. Alicia Krause. But trucker was a noble American job.

[Alicia Krause]

Oh. So no. You might think I'm too young, but I used to call screen for the Sean Hannity radio show. Oh, truckers and those TR because they didn't mind waiting for three hours.

[Adam Carolla]

We got to dip back to the 70s where you were a local hero

[Alicia Krause]

if you're a trucker.

[Adam Carolla]

Yes. First off, truckers were. They were sort of common everyman heroes. First off, we made like 11 trucker movies in a four year span in Hollywood and they were all mainstream movies.

[Alicia Krause]

Really?

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. Well, we had White Line Ice Road

[Alicia Krause]

movie where he was like a trucker. Recently.

[Adam Carolla]

Liam Neese. I don't.

[Alicia Krause]

More recently. What is this one? So you're saying I should go stream all of these this weekend at the Cross house?

[Adam Carolla]

What I'm saying is, is the mighty have fallen. Pause it for a second. What I'm saying is, is truckers were a of bunch. There were folk hero type jobs and they did the right thing. Truckers. But it was kind of frontier trucker justice, you know what I mean? They would get on the squawk box, the CB and Smokey would tell them, the bandit would tell them smokey's on my tail. And they'd make a convoy for him and stuff. They took care of business, okay? Now they're all a bunch of Indian guys who don't speak English, who Gavin Newsom gave a license to, who killed a family of three in a minivan. Like they. Their stock has fallen.

[Alicia Krause]

Like. It used to be a good blue collar Americana type job, you're saying? And now it's.

[Adam Carolla]

It was a hero type job in the seventies.

[Alicia Krause]

Well, you could. You could defend the country or you could feed the country. And truckers helped feed the country.

[Comedy Bit Performer]

They.

[Adam Carolla]

It's funny, they never even told you what was in the truck. You know, it could have been hauling kitty porn or something. They never. Well, they never said only smoking. The Bandit said what was in the truck. Everyone else didn't tell you, but that guy had a belt buckle, he had boots, he had a handle. Yeah, he could do the CB and people would. He knew. He knew. You know, he.

[Alicia Krause]

When little Leisha would drive by on a road trip to Florida and her mom's Volvo wagon do that.

[Adam Carolla]

No autonomous driver or some illegal guy from Bangladesh knows what the horn honk was.

[Alicia Krause]

Oh, you know what? We're doing a couple road trips this summer with the kiddies. I should teach all of them that and see how many truckers respond. We'll do an anecdotal case study for the audience.

[Adam Carolla]

Are we, Andrew? Are we allowed to play the song CB Savage on the podcast without being clipped by YouTube? CB Savage is the greatest song ever.

[Alicia Krause]

I've. I don't think I know it.

[Adam Carolla]

What? What?

[Alicia Krause]

Oh, wait.

[Comedy Bit Performer]

We was hunting bear for the rocking chair out on iPhone.

[Adam Carolla]

This is Dawson's favorite song.

[Comedy Bit Performer]

Dodging bucks in pickup trucks in west New Mexico.

[Adam Carolla]

Slide this into your queue, Dawson.

[Comedy Bit Performer]

Just about.

[Alicia Krause]

He's so happy back there, he's popping

[Comedy Bit Performer]

along When a Seabee break come a ringing loud and clear and we heard

[Adam Carolla]

this voice Andrew, put your ears on

[Comedy Bit Performer]

heard before saying break one nine. I'm CB Savage. Hi, all you 18 wheelers. Anyone seen any Smokey Bears? How about some bear smokies? CB Savage here, Come on. Oh, well, I looked at Jay and I said, hey, did you hear what I just heard? He nodded his head, face got red and he never said a word Thinking we might just answer that one nine call when that CB device come back to life Just a lisping wall to

[Adam Carolla]

wall Lisping wall to wall and that

[Comedy Bit Performer]

unusual voice came on.

[Alicia Krause]

Oh my God.

[Comedy Bit Performer]

Break one nine again. This is your one and only CB Savage. Mercy sakes. Good bodies. Could I please have your 20? I settled for a big 104 Mercy, mercy. How about a mile post? Listen, you can't keep your hammers down forever, you know. Speak to me. Pedal pumpers.

[Alicia Krause]

Pedal pumpers.

[Comedy Bit Performer]

How about it?

[Adam Carolla]

This guy's a genius.

[Comedy Bit Performer]

Well, the box went dead.

[Adam Carolla]

We look straight ahead and pause it for one second.

[Alicia Krause]

Is that real?

[Adam Carolla]

If this is the same guy doing both voices, I will call him a musical genius.

[Show Producer/Announcer]

I would assume it is.

[Adam Carolla]

I do too, but we're going to have to find out.

[Show Producer/Announcer]

But I assume it's Rod Hart.

[Adam Carolla]

It comes full circle, this song. We're not done.

[Alicia Krause]

Oh, it does.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, he ties it up with a bow. Wait till you hear what happens.

[Comedy Bit Performer]

Box went dead. And we looked straight ahead and didn't say a word at all. We had four in the chair and the door back there. But nobody'd answer that call. A while went by and Jay and I, we started breathing again. We figured this stranger was gonna get. All at once he'd come back in. And it was that same odd voice saying, breakers, breakers. Any taker?

[Show Producer/Announcer]

Hi.

[Comedy Bit Performer]

Hi, it's me again. I'm in your chair and I love it there. Say, you truckers really know how to take a person for a ride. Speak to me, you diesel demons. I'd love to get to know your handles. CB Savage here. Come on, come on.

[Adam Carolla]

This laugh is the genius part.

[Comedy Bit Performer]

I grabbed the mic and I held it tight and my hand began to sway.

[Adam Carolla]

I like that. Guys are freaking out, Jay.

[Comedy Bit Performer]

And he was grinning away like big

[Adam Carolla]

old bird fed cat.

[Comedy Bit Performer]

So I put down the talker and turned up the squawker and got a good grip on the wheel. I decided the trucker that answered this duck sure as heck wasn't gonna be me. Bout that time that weird voice came back on again.

[Adam Carolla]

There we go.

[Comedy Bit Performer]

Yoo hoo. Breakaroo. Hi. Hi, you Jim dandy Jimmy Jammers, you. Do I ever have a surprise for you? If you listen real close, you'll find my voice is changing. And if you'll start checking your rear views, you'll find you got company. Five plain white smokies dressing up for a ticket writin party. Y' all were so busy copying my put on, you didn't notice your little convoy was being infiltrated. You can start shutting them down anytime now. This is your ocb, Savage. The smoke is friend. Wall to wall and treetop tall. That is all.

[Adam Carolla]

Bye bye. That'd be one of the greatest. First off, smarter than any hall and Oates song. It's better than. It's better.

[Alicia Krause]

Oh, come on now.

[Adam Carolla]

Lyrically, much more interesting than any Steve Miller song ever. Like, if I run into Steve Miller, I'm gonna go. You understand? CB Savage is much more layered and much more interesting than Abracadabra. The abracadabra is like a special needs 9 year old wrote it. This is finesse, layer and interesting. His voice changed. Of course it's the same guy. He changed it.

[Alicia Krause]

I just keep thinking of who was the New Jersey governor that got caught doing gay sex acts in like the bathroom stalls.

[Adam Carolla]

He didn't do in the trucking. No, he did not. No, he did the foot tap.

[Alicia Krause]

He was doing the foot tap and then like the glory hole thing, wasn't he?

[Adam Carolla]

No, no, no. He just got busted for doing the code.

[Alicia Krause]

The code. But wasn't it in like highway, like truck stops and restaurants?

[Adam Carolla]

No, it was like Minneapolis bathroom. Airport bathroom.

[Alicia Krause]

No, he was from New Jersey.

[Adam Carolla]

I thought then it was a New Jersey bathroom. Well, some. You know, airports are all over the place these days and sometimes you go to different places where the plane lands.

[Alicia Krause]

Yeah, you and I were both in Nebraska last week.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, that's right.

[Alicia Krause]

Which is different days.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, he's a Larry Craig Republican from Idaho who got caught playing footsie. Well, this is the guy who played.

[Alicia Krause]

He's a footsie guy.

[Adam Carolla]

I don't know. But the guy who got caught playing footsie in the. In the airport bathroom was another guy.

[Alicia Krause]

Was that a senator, though? I'm talking about. I swear there was somebody in New Jersey in my talking.

[Adam Carolla]

What airport was he in or was he in an airport? But anyway, is the singer songwriter of CB Savage still alive? Cuz we got a. I got Minneapolis airport. All right, you got your own guy.

[Alicia Krause]

2004, New Jersey Governor Jim McGreevey announced his resignation, becoming the first openly gay governor in U.S. history following an extra marital affair with a male staffer. And I could have sworn, but not

[Adam Carolla]

in a. I could have sworn though

[Alicia Krause]

that it then came out, like when he wrote his biography, that he would go to truck stops and have hookups.

[Adam Carolla]

Okay, I'll buy that.

[Alicia Krause]

Like he committed to it.

[Adam Carolla]

But that wasn't.

[Alicia Krause]

We were thinking two different.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, Minneapolis, St. Paul Airport, toe touch with the stall, which by the way, is gross. Right, but why did anyone cop to that? Like if you just go, well, look, I sat down on the toilet at the airport. It's a pretty narrow stall and I'm so widened myself. I'm six foot two and you know, I don't know how you roll, but my leg came out and I hit another guy's foot. Like, what do you want me to do what's that make me gay. Like, I feel like you could have talk your way out of that one, right? I think it must have been an undercover cop or something. Rod Hart is no longer living. The CB Savage is gone.

[Alicia Krause]

Rip to a legend yet.

[Adam Carolla]

Steve Miller carries on. What? What? Joan Jett playing a concert this week.

[Alicia Krause]

She is.

[Adam Carolla]

She's always playing somewhere. But the great Rod Hart, the man who penned CB Savage, I wonder what else he did.

[Alicia Krause]

Should look up.

[Adam Carolla]

He has a great country artist. As far as I can tell, that's the best country song of all time.

[Alicia Krause]

Oh, he's from Michigan.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, yeah.

[Alicia Krause]

He and Bob Seeger have that in common.

[Adam Carolla]

That's right. Hart also wrote music and acted in the 70s. Steve McQueen. Rodeo. Huh?

[Alicia Krause]

Rodeo film.

[Adam Carolla]

Junior Bar. All right, listen. He's a hero. He's American hero. And school age kids should know about this guy. He wrote CB Savage. He did the thing where his voice changed at the end. Nobody saw that one coming. Did anyone see that one coming?

[Show Producer/Announcer]

Phil Hendry was a big Rod Hart fan, probably.

[Adam Carolla]

Also, I don't know if you guys saw Sinners.

[Alicia Krause]

No, I didn't. But I've heard all about it.

[Adam Carolla]

Michael B. Jordan. They're like, he's got. He's getting the Academy Award. He played two guys. The two guys he played were himself exactly the same with no variation whatsoever. Same facial hair, same dress, same voice, same tone, same cadence, same everything like it is. It's one thing to play, you know, if you're Mike Myers, you play this guy and then you play Mr. Evil or something. Or people go, oh. Or Eddie Murphy. Eddie Murphy, where you play your mom and your granddad, something. But being in a movie where you just play yourself two times, I suggest a recut. Break a break a vampire. That's right. That's all. The person who should get the award is the camera guy who figured out a way to shoot you out one way and then shoot the guy out. And the stunt double, you hug.

[Alicia Krause]

The cinematographer did get an award. Maybe that's how she got it.

[Adam Carolla]

But Michael B. Jordan didn't do anything other than just act in his normal voice for both characters.

[Alicia Krause]

For the identical twin.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, maybe said he was his cousin. Maybe something happened at the end. I didn't know. I only got about a half hour. About an hour.

[Alicia Krause]

If we're giving awards away for that, like, let's not forget Hilary Duff and Lindsay Lohan.

[Adam Carolla]

That's right.

[Alicia Krause]

I mean, Lindsay Lohan had to do a British accent and then like a California.

[Adam Carolla]

Let's not forget Hannah Montana. Hello, hello, CB Savage. I like that. It was the 70s and if a gay guy was talking to you, even if you're in a truck going 60 miles an hour, you were sweating and shaking in your boots.

[Show Producer/Announcer]

When you think about it, though, it's art imitating life imitating art. This was a real thing. This wasn't made in a vacuum. This song did not come out of thin air. There's some kind of legend, some kind of backstory. Lots of this happened.

[Adam Carolla]

People are, I think, called homophobia.

[Comedy Bit Performer]

But.

[Adam Carolla]

But the laugh was the best. That was the best. Thank you. Oh, let's not forget Hasselhoff played his evil twin in Knight Rider.

[Alicia Krause]

Oh, my gosh.

[Show Producer/Announcer]

As well.

[Adam Carolla]

And that's.

[Alicia Krause]

Look at the facial hair.

[Adam Carolla]

No Academy Award for the Hoff. All right, what do we got for news News?

[Alicia Krause]

Right here in California, we have Gavin Newsom mocking Nick Shirley for exposing fraud. Right here we have an image of this. Have you seen what he tweeted? It's a completely like made up AI image.

[Adam Carolla]

I did. We saw it.

[Alicia Krause]

It's not even like a how you doing, fellow kids? Meme. He. It says Nick Shirley right now. And it's a creepy looking dude with a whole bunch of cameras on and a pasty like zombie type face that says, hey, can I see your kids?

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah.

[Alicia Krause]

Because I guess Gavin Newsom is upset that people are holding his state accountable for the hunt. What is it? Tens of millions of dollars of fraud right now?

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, it's going to get into the billions, I'm sure. It's such a bad look and such a weird thing to attack someone who's trying to uncover fraud. It's such insane. But it's so funny because somebody pointed this out and I think I liked it. Andrew. But he was Newsom gave. He likes to do his sanctimonious speeches about Trump, was making fun of him and his disability. And he did that super pussy move where it's like, don't you ever let anyone bully you. By the way, I love when people say, don't let anyone ever bully you. Here's the thing about being bullied. You normally don't have a choice. The guy's got £50 on you, he's four grades above you and he's gonna kick your ass. What do you mean, don't let anyone bully you? If that worked, then no one would ever be bullied. People go, I got bullied by my boss cuz he's rich and he's successful and I have no training and I show up to work drunk and it's like, yeah, that's how it. When you're big and strong, when you're built like Tony Gonzalez, you don't get bullied. But when you're spindly CB Savage, you then get bullied. But I just. Like, he's. I like when the left goes, don't ever, ever. Don't ever let anyone bullet you. Don't ever let anyone talk down to you. Oh, I don't have a choice.

[Alicia Krause]

Also, isn't it victim shaming? Like, when you say it's. It's your fault, like, you let somebody bully you?

[Adam Carolla]

Yes. Right.

[Alicia Krause]

This is the problem.

[Adam Carolla]

Right. Okay, so Gavin Newsom said to every kid with a learning disability, like, those fucks could read this. Don't let anyone, not even the President of the United States, bully you. So, okay, so now if you get bullied, it's your fault because you let them bully you. Dyslexic, dyslexia, well, it's far away. Dyslexia isn't a weakness. It's your strength. Well, it's not your strength. It's not.

[Alicia Krause]

I agree.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah.

[Alicia Krause]

It's like, that's such a big.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. Having a. Dude.

[Show Producer/Announcer]

I'm in AP classes because I have dyslexia.

[Adam Carolla]

No one ever. Your clubbed foot is not a weakness. It's a strength.

[Alicia Krause]

So, like, Stefani is dyslexic. And people. Some people think that Dolly Parton is right. So it's like, maybe it helps you with, like, your creative. Or it might turn if. You know, hey, I'm not very good at school and reading. I'm gonna exert my efforts and my brainpower to something else could be a potential strength. But that's not your average kid with dyslexia. I think it's really, really damaging when people are like, this thing that you have is your strength.

[Adam Carolla]

It's retard. It's happy salad shooter bullshit. Nothing leftist talk. It doesn't mean it's. Everyone needs to be treated with dignity. Everyone needs to sit at the table. Everyone should. Everything till that's okay. Data.

[Show Producer/Announcer]

I don't believe Gavin News and even has dyslexia.

[Adam Carolla]

No, I don't either. I don't either. Listen, it's such an easy scapegoat. I got tested for dyslexia. You can go in, you can get tested, and then they can say it's positive or it's negative. They have a test warrant. So if you are Liz Warren or Gavin Newsom or whatever, or if you're Rochelle Walensky and you Got your son vaccinated. Except for you didn't fucking prove it or shut up. Okay? But he, while telling everyone not to bully anyone, bullied a 21 year old who was trying to uncover fraud by coming out with a hateful meme about a guy who's doing his job. Which is great, by the way.

[Alicia Krause]

$170 million already uncovered during his most recent trip. The independent state auditor apparently warned of untold billions in fraud across eight major state agencies back in December.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, let me, let me. And let this to everyone all at once. People do this thing all the time where they go, well, you know, the right just talking about Hunter Biden's laptop. And the right says it's real and the left says it's not. And the right says Covid came from a lab and we think it came from a wet market. And they say masks don't work and that taking the vaccination is not effective. And then they go, so it's just one side arguing with another. Here's my argument. One of us is right.

[Alicia Krause]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

There's either fucking fraud or there isn't fraud. Either a mask works or it doesn't work. Either the vax works or it doesn't work. It either came from a lab or came from a web. I want to find out who's right.

[Alicia Krause]

Let's get down to the truth.

[Adam Carolla]

Let's get down to the truth.

[Alicia Krause]

It's also worth noting that CBS News did a report on the California hospice fraud just last week.

[Adam Carolla]

Yes.

[Alicia Krause]

So a mainstream media outlet.

[Adam Carolla]

Right. But they go, but here's what I'm saying. Their argument is, yeah, maybe there's some fraud, but they're just doing it because those guys are Trump fans. Or they're just doing it. Or he's not wearing a mask cuz he votes for Trump. And it's like, okay, let's say that's true, but they're still fraud and the masks still don't work. So fuck you.

[Alicia Krause]

Guess who's wearing a mask now? Did you see Mr. Jimmy Talarico? Jimmy T. James Talarico down in Texas that's running for Senate.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, that pussy. Yeah. God's binary. I mean non binary God has a penis and a vagina.

[Alicia Krause]

And he also said that Mary, the mother, Mary would have consented to an abortion.

[Adam Carolla]

Jesus didn't have to.

[Show Producer/Announcer]

Well, that's in the Bible.

[Adam Carolla]

You guys have fun with that douchebag.

[Alicia Krause]

So he showed up wearing a mask, like an N95 mask at an event this week and saying that his campaign was officially vegan

[Adam Carolla]

that's funny.

[Alicia Krause]

Last, folks, it is March of 2026, and that guy. I mean, is he just going full Kamala Harris? Like, what do the Texas voters want? Okay, I'm gonna do the complete opposite.

[Adam Carolla]

It is a weird thing, because being elected is. I'll put it to you this way. I like steak tacos. Same first smart thing you've ever said

[Show Producer/Announcer]

on the show with the mics on.

[Adam Carolla]

With the mics on. You said smart stuff off there. I like steak tacos. I do not really like chicken tacos. Can I tell you, Dawson, my enchiladas were ruined the other day because chicken and cheese starts with the same two letters. And the guy's writing it down. He's handing it to the Mexican guy. Doesn't know. And I got. I ate. I ate, like, a whole chicken enchilada before I really realized this is chicken. This is. Cause it's all grated up and there's some cheese in there.

[Show Producer/Announcer]

Gotta go. Pollo and queso.

[Adam Carolla]

No. Chicken and cheese.

[Jason 'Mayhem' Miller]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, you're right. Learn some Spanish cheese. So much better than enchilada. It was dry and weird. But anyway, okay, here's what. Being. Here's being a politician is. I like steak taco. I like it much better than a chicken taco. But if I found out that everyone's voting for me, prefers chicken tacos, like 87% to 13%, I might cool it on the how great steak tacos are talk and what idiots chicken taco consumers are, because I would like them to vote for me.

[Alicia Krause]

And then you go and you meet with some chicken farmers and you talk about how they're the backbone of the economy and what a great service they do.

[Adam Carolla]

I don't get the guys that are going down the woke route. I don't get why maybe they want their steak taco at night, but play it close to the vest, man. People don't like this.

[Alicia Krause]

It's fascinating, especially because it was like him versus Jasmine Crockett, and he seemed like the more moderate version for the Democrats to pick, but now he's coming out the gate with this. Like, does he think he can't lose?

[Adam Carolla]

Did I. Dawson and Andrew, Did I get into my Jasmine Crockett equal time thing on this show, or was I doing it with Drew?

[Alicia Krause]

Oh, we talked about it for sure.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, we talked.

[Show Producer/Announcer]

I think we did talk a little

[Alicia Krause]

bit about the stupidity of the equal time and how, like. Yeah. How much money she ended up raising. Like she was able to play victim.

[Adam Carolla]

And what I'm saying is equal Time or more time is not your friend. If your ideas suck and you suck, sure, yeah. It's no different. Sorry if I'm repeating. I can't tell if I remember I was telling Drew this or you guys this. But you watch Dawson, you go out and watch comedians all the time. You see guys up there struggling in minute two and really eating a dick by minute six. And nobody ever says if they only had a full hour, right? It's like, no, this guy's bad. And we got it.

[Show Producer/Announcer]

You find out just how long five minutes actually is when you are dumb.

[Adam Carolla]

Kamala Harris did not need more time. She needed less time. And then as somebody brought up, and maybe, I don't know, Drew or whatever, Joe Biden got elected because they locked him in the basement, didn't let him near a microphone. That's why he got elected. Less time, don't speak less time if you have a shit message.

[Alicia Krause]

Being in this industry, you go on TV shows all the time, right? Like, you go over on.

[Adam Carolla]

I'm highly sought after.

[Alicia Krause]

You're highly sought after guests on a lot of TV shows. The way that you are able to expound and monologue and chat about a host of things on a radio or a podcast show are it exposes your inability to have like a complete thought or a unique thought or perspective compared to people who do 90 second Instagram and TikTok reels. Right?

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah.

[Alicia Krause]

And even I would argue sometimes people are okay on cable news or on for a quick red carpet interview or something, but if you sit down with them for a longer segment, they ain't going to be able to hold their own.

[Adam Carolla]

Right.

[Alicia Krause]

And so that's that application to what you're saying when it came to Jasmine Crockett and just how bad her all of her ideas were.

[Adam Carolla]

Yoo hoo, Breakaroo. Guy's a genius. Should that be he's gonna be missed. What year did that hero die?

[Show Producer/Announcer]

Oh, I don't know when he died. The song came out in 76, 77.

[Adam Carolla]

Guess who was in North Holland listening to Dr. Demento memorizing every line of CB Savage.

[Alicia Krause]

So it was literally on the radio. Like it was a real song on the radio. It wasn't like a Weird Al Yankovich parody song.

[Adam Carolla]

Weird Al was on the radio on

[Alicia Krause]

Dr. Demento as well, but everybody knew it was like parody.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, Dr. Demento has the name Demento in his last name. And so when he would play these songs, you would assume that it was always.

[Alicia Krause]

Because there are a couple of country songs that Sound like parody, but they're real country songs. Like, there's one about like, did you see the 30 pointer? Or grandma got run over by a reindeer.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, I mean, that. True. Andrew, you can clear my screen if you like. All right, what's the next story?

[Alicia Krause]

So, hopping on over to the East Coast, New York City's Mayor Mamdani used St Patty's Day to complain about the genocide in Gaza.

[Adam Carolla]

It's such a. It's so weird that people. By the way, he's got a nice little brooch on. He's got his little sunflower brooch on. He meets. He's nice. He's a nice guy. He hates Jews. I say this as over the past few years, as we've witnessed a genocide unfold before our eyes, there has been deafening silence from so many for those who have long cared about universal human rights and the extension of them to Palestinians. Silence, however, is nothing new, for Palestinians are so often left to weep alone. Yet former President Robinson has never been silent. Not when she was president, not when she was High Commissioner for Human Rights, and not in the decades since. As she once said, commemoration is a moral act. Her solidarity is many things. All right, hold on. This is for St. Patrick's Day.

[Alicia Krause]

Yeah. So he's referring to former Irish President Mary Robinson, who at this breakfast honoring Irish New Yorkers. So apparently it was just a whole host of leftists. I don't know. I know some Irish New Yorkers, and they ain't down for this.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, they cannot go to Jesse Jackson's funeral or commemorate St. Patrick's Day without turning into some sort of political speech.

[Alicia Krause]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

About either Trump or Palestine, which is fucking awesome, by the way. Anybody I know? This guy hates Jews, but Jews should hate him because he's actually taking an event which is essentially the Holocaust and then grafting it on to what Hamas and the. The Palestinian government is doing to its own people.

[Alicia Krause]

Yeah. And apparently this president, she was the president of Ireland from 1990-97 and followed Mamdani's lead. And after saying that St Patrick's Day was a time to celebrate Irish culture and traditions, she said it's also time to remember all those who may yet be living, quote, under the shadow of war and suffering. It is really interesting. I have some Irish friends that came over for St Patty's Day dinner at the Kraut House, actually, and there is a big correlation, I think, between a lot of Irish people that they feel, because of the disenchantment with, you know, the monarchy and everything that went down Historically there that they feel like a connection to the Palestinian cause.

[Adam Carolla]

Right.

[Alicia Krause]

These air quotes because of. I feel sympathy for the Palestinian people. Not.

[Adam Carolla]

But that was England doing it to them. Yes, this wasn't.

[Alicia Krause]

They view Israel as England like the back of the situation.

[Adam Carolla]

But the difference between Israel. It's a big difference. And England was doing it to them. Israel's not doing this is be like the Irish blaming the lucky charms guy for destroying their life. Yeah, everyone.

[Show Producer/Announcer]

Six million liver pudlians were put in a gas chamber.

[Comedy Bit Performer]

Jesus.

[Alicia Krause]

No, no, literally, like it's. It's fascinating though how the narrative.

[Adam Carolla]

They love it.

[Alicia Krause]

They love it.

[Adam Carolla]

They're wrong. Here's what it is. Here's basically their worldview. And this is a problem. And this is why it can never be fixed. I'm gonna paint a very clear picture. You have one house on the block and that block and that house. The one house on the block has a intact religious family who raises their kids properly, who mows the lawn, who paints the fascia. The dad works hard, the mom works hard. And they all eat supper together at the same time.

[Alicia Krause]

Without screens.

[Adam Carolla]

Without screens.

[Alicia Krause]

You're describing the Kraus house, Adam.

[Adam Carolla]

They cook, they cook. Mama cooks. Meals. They say a prayer and when they're done, they read. They read to the children. That's what they do. And they do not indulge in tobacco or alcohol or drugs. Then there is another house. Yep, that other house lets the kids run around in their dirty diapers, swears at each other, drinks, smokes, doesn't mow the lawn and doesn't pick up the dog shit. Okay? And that house is a mess now. White middle aged white people and do gooder Karens and all these other assholes from around the nation, they look at the two houses and they go, why is that one house doing so well and that other house is falling apart? And then they go, that house must be doing something bad to the house next to it. No, it's not that house. It's the people in the house. The people in the house. The Palestinians and the government and Hamas and all the warlords and all the terrorists. You guys see fit to run your country. Destroy your country. Not the civilized country. Next. You, by the way, you know who wants you to get your shit together in your house more than anybody? The guy living next to you, the nice house neighbor. Because he wants. He's tired of getting his outdoor furniture stolen by you. He's tired of his kids being punched by your kids. He's tired of your dog shitting on his Lawn. He hopes very much that you get your fucking house together. That's what he hopes for you and for him. Cuz he'd like a relationship where he could borrow a cup of sugar and you guys could come over and have a beer and a barbecue. He wants that world where your kids can play in harmony together. That's what the guy in the nice house wants. He hates the fact that you guys have ruined your house. But you fucking ruined it. You did it. And you're being enabled by these guys, friends who then get in positions of power like the squad and Ilhan Omar and these assholes. And every time they grab a mic, they start talking about the one house that's actually taking care of business on this whole block. And by the way, everyone on that block known as the Middle east is living in a ramshackle piece of shit house because they won't get their shit together. You understand?

[Alicia Krause]

No notes.

[Adam Carolla]

Fuck off. Thank you. Inspiring.

[Alicia Krause]

It's also kind of emblematic of what's happening in Iran right now too, is everybody's like, well, wait, they're fine. As they murdered tens of thousands of innocents in the streets and.

[Adam Carolla]

Jesus Christ. Wake up, Whitey. Wake up.

[Alicia Krause]

Oh, you can't call Mom Donny. Whitey. I guess you can call the former president of Ireland, Whitey. She's probably really pasty white too.

[Adam Carolla]

They're letting all the, you know, Europe's committing suicide. They're all idiots. You don't understand who these people are. They want you dead. They're suicidal homicidal maniacs. Okay. Who want you dead. Okay, Wake up.

[Alicia Krause]

And speaking of more fans, by the

[Adam Carolla]

way, when's this gonna stop? When they stop wanting you dead, then that'll stop. That's when it stops.

[Alicia Krause]

I mean, that's what Dennis Prager has been saying for years.

[Adam Carolla]

Jesus Christ. I know.

[Alicia Krause]

Like, if Israel put their arms down, Israel would be destroyed. If Hamas put their arms down, then there could be peace in the Middle East.

[Adam Carolla]

That's right.

[Alicia Krause]

And maybe some Trump towers on the Gaza Strip.

[Adam Carolla]

That's right. That's right.

[Alicia Krause]

All right. Speaking of people who love the woke narrative and SJP type crowds, a leaked teachers union K through 12 training presentation railed against Trump administration and red state officials. This comes from Fox News. The National Education association, also known as the nea, which is one of the largest teachers unions in the country with over 3 million members, conducted a training session last month with far left political messaging.

[Adam Carolla]

According to Watchgrow, teachers unions need to be disbanded. They need to be broken up too. Much political power. They start calling the shots. They hurt the kids. They're a bunch of fucking crazy yentas run by. What's her name? Motherless, soulless, godless. Roberta Weintraub or whatever her name is.

[Alicia Krause]

Oh, no, you're talking. Yes, I know who you're talking about. The lady during COVID Yes. Who was literally sending notes to the Biden administration about what the teachers wanted to do, and then they just went off of that. Instead of dad. Randy Weingarten.

[Adam Carolla]

Randy Weingarten.

[Alicia Krause]

I knew it would come to me.

[Adam Carolla]

Yes, yes, Randy Weingarten. Is that who you want? Teaching your kids? Angry lesbian whose number one job is to have all her union employees go home and get paid while your kids just languish at home? Is that what you fucking idiots want

[Alicia Krause]

and don't learn how to read and write? The NEA training argued that the Department of Education is, quote unquote, now actively committed to violating civil rights.

[Adam Carolla]

Okay, listen, you gotta break up those unions.

[Alicia Krause]

They want to protect vulnerable students, Adam. That's what they said.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. Yeah. They love the kids.

[Alicia Krause]

Love the children so much. They love to keep information about the kids from their parents.

[Adam Carolla]

I love it. I know. They want to transition the kids and give them all. Just vote Democrats.

[Alicia Krause]

So the teachers unions apparently took issue with Trump administration's designation of ANTIFA as a terrorist organization. You know, people who wear masks.

[Adam Carolla]

Wait a minute. Remember 10 minutes ago? Remember 10 minutes ago when ANTIFA didn't exist?

[Alicia Krause]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

It was just an idea. So there is. According to them, the Klan is everywhere,

[Alicia Krause]

but also doesn't exist.

[Adam Carolla]

But Antifa doesn't exist. The clan is everywhere. Antifa doesn't exist. How come every fucking time I turn on the TV set I can see ANTIFA fighting with cops, but I never see the Klan fighting with cops? I can find antifa. I don't know where the Klan is.

[Alicia Krause]

I would argue that the Klan is systemically involved in all of the decision making in the United States.

[Pluto TV Announcer]

There you go.

[Adam Carolla]

The shots.

[Alicia Krause]

Quietly calling the shots. The training made it clear that there's an importance of adhering to gender pronouns and the specified gender identity of students. Saying that educators can and should address students the way that they want, regardless of whether their identity differs from school records.

[Adam Carolla]

Jesus Christ.

[Alicia Krause]

Should I go on?

[Adam Carolla]

No. I mean, yeah, but it's so sad what happened to teachers and what happened to society. But it's the union.

[Alicia Krause]

Like, the unions have been broken up. Well. And the nea, like other teachers unions, have spent tens of millions of dollars funneling money to left wing groups with critics pointing to the number of students struggling with poor test scores at the exact same time.

[Adam Carolla]

Right.

[Alicia Krause]

Fox News Digital, of course. Reach out to the NEA for comment. They said no back in January. By the way, there was a whistleblower employee within the NEA who spoke out against the toxic politics inside the union's headquarters.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, you can't listen, every large group starts to tack toward the left and it's kind of a weird thing. And they're proudly examples in the defense industry or like engineering, the guys who build commercial buildings and stuff. Okay. If you have a business where you have to actually do shit, then you won't tack toward the left because you have to think in a pragmatic way, which means you won't think. Pronouns are neither here nor there. You're trying to build a dam or your defense contractor, you're building a bridge or whatever that thing is. All right? But every group that is sort of idea based always tacks toward the left. Like if you don't really have anything to do like Sierra Club or ACLU or teachers unions, if you're I. If your group is just an idea, then you can afford to go to the left and you always will.

[Alicia Krause]

What's fascinating though is I think when it happens with corporations making the move to the left, I don't even know that the people like on the border at the corporation care. It's like the loudest minority within the organization or the company that they're afraid of. And I think that you, the fact that, I mean, my mind was blown that there are apparently conservatives that work at NEA headquarters.

[Adam Carolla]

Right?

[Alicia Krause]

Like I think that maybe they joined it because they believed in the original cause of the group and now they're like the lone warrior there all by themselves. And I think that sometimes that can happen in corporations and other types of groups as well.

[Adam Carolla]

They'll usually, the left will weed those people out and get rid of them. Like if you were a voice on the right in this group of cackling yentas, sorry, they're mostly all women. If you were a voice on the right and you showed up after the election and you're like, I voted for Trump and I'm glad he won, they'd figure out a way to get you out of there.

[Alicia Krause]

But what's fascinating is they start to then eat their own though. Like you don't even have to be a full on MAGA wearing hat person like you. You could just be like a, hey, what is, what's the data show for how Lockdowns affected children in the country.

[Adam Carolla]

Any truth seeker would be thrown out

[Alicia Krause]

and that would be like ready flag to them. Right? And then they start to eat their own. Because then if you're not left enough for them, they will destroy you.

[Adam Carolla]

Yes.

[Alicia Krause]

I heard a story the other day about somebody who had to do some type of work event and somebody had recently changed their pronouns. But she went off of the pronouns that was like on the documentation. And then the pronouns like got that she used got her in trouble or they in trouble, pronoun trouble. And then it was like a whole thing in the office of like, you didn't use my proper pronouns. And it was like. But these were the pronouns that I had on the HR documentation.

[Adam Carolla]

I know, it's my favorite.

[Alicia Krause]

And they eat their own.

[Adam Carolla]

No, I agree. You had the woman at the la, I think it was California Teachers Union conference or whatever was explained. She didn't like the term homeless that we looked at a couple weeks ago. That's by the way, the teachers group over there. She wanted to say unhoused neighbor or whatever. And the guy was like, well, but it was on the sheet officially, like, okay, we're not at a point where we're arguing with dumb people about nothing is essentially while the borders open and terrorists come floating in and there's homeless people everywhere.

[Show Producer/Announcer]

Right.

[Alicia Krause]

Who are dying, dying. And we're giving them clean needles because we think it helps them.

[Adam Carolla]

Yes. Okay, one more story.

[Alicia Krause]

Oh, goodness. Well, I mean, this ties. We're circling back to the song at the top of the CB Savage. I mean, listen to this. This involves vehicles and gay voice. Full circle. And you didn't even know this was coming. Breaking one night, NASCAR has suspended driver Daniel Dye after he used gay voice on a live stream podcast. Apparently Tuesday, they indefinitely suspended him after a second major penalty against the young driver after he used what he called a gay voice to mock another racer during. During a live stream.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, here we go. Now, by the way, is it a little close minded to think say there is a gay voice? But anyway, all right, let's.

[Alicia Krause]

I think so.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh my gosh, yes, we race Indianapolis too. Love Indianapolis. And Roger Penske. I love Roger. Love you, Roger. As soon as I start doing a David Malucas gay voice, I had a gold. So let's. Let's keep it going.

[Alicia Krause]

So apparently the comments ran afoul of NASCAR's rules that bar members from making any statement that criticizes, ridicules, or otherwise disparages another person based on that person's race, race, color, creed, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, marital status, religion, age or handicapping condition. The organization said die apparently drove NASCAR's third flight Craftsman truck series, a developmental level below the top cup series and a second flight of O'Reilly Auto Part Series. He's in 13 place after three starts and apparently Malucas, the guy that he made fun of is a 24 year old son of Lithuanian immigrants and races in the top flight. He apparently apologized on his social media and admitted fault over there. He said he chose his words proly poorly and I understand why it upset people. I'm sorry to anyone who was offended.

[Adam Carolla]

Nobody was offended. Not nascar. He also said offended if there was a gay driver.

[Alicia Krause]

He also said he needs to be a better friend to the community.

[Adam Carolla]

Okay.

[Alicia Krause]

You know the community.

[Jason 'Mayhem' Miller]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

He doesn't care. Okay, but here's the thing. We gotta cut cage fighters, NASCAR drivers and infantry soldiers some slack. You know what I mean? That guy sounded like. Yeah, he just got stepped out of an octagon. He just got kicked in the head. You know what I mean? These are folks that do stuff that we don't do. It's a completely different culture and community. We cannot. Basically they need their own N word.

[Alicia Krause]

Oh, meaning like a 22 year old NASCAR driver.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, like a rapper can use the N word. Cause that's his culture. Yeah, we go the N word. Worst word you can say. Except for they say it all the time. Why is that? Well, we cut them some slack because it's a cultural thing.

[Stephanie Hodge]

Thing.

[Adam Carolla]

Making fun of gays is a cultural thing. When you drive in the Craftsman truck series. See what I'm saying?

[Alicia Krause]

Yeah. Our gay buddy, by the way, Dave Rubin has said let people say gay.

[Adam Carolla]

Yes.

[Alicia Krause]

Like because it's, it's a, it tends to be like a kind of bro y thing that people do.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah.

[Pluto TV Announcer]

Who?

[Alicia Krause]

I mean, he's clearly a 22 year old idiot. Prefrontal cortex is not fully formed.

[Adam Carolla]

Drives a race car. They're not, they're not. They don't.

[Alicia Krause]

By the way, I didn't know who he was until Nobody knows. This popped up all over social media. So it's like you're giving the kid bigger name.

[Adam Carolla]

I don't know.

[Alicia Krause]

I have mixed thoughts on this. If this was my son at 22, I'd be like, you're an idiot. Come on.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, but who cares, right?

[Alicia Krause]

But also, unless this guy, he wasn't making fun of him being Lithuanian. And it doesn't say anything in this article from NBC News about whether or not he identifies as a member of LGBTQ He's.

[Show Producer/Announcer]

I want to know what the damage was. What's the damage? Who was hurt?

[Adam Carolla]

Nobody.

[Alicia Krause]

Exactly.

[Adam Carolla]

Nobody cares. Who. Who are the brothers that drove? Not Labonte, Bush. There's a couple of brothers that were NASCAR years ago and one of them does all the commentary. And I always tell you that guy sounds gay, but he's not. But there is a gay. I always say that guy, you know who I'm talking about, but I cannot think of his name.

[Alicia Krause]

Has a more feminine sounding tone.

[Adam Carolla]

There are guys that are from parts of the south that are not gay, but they're kind of dandies. You know, they sound like that because they're from that part.

[Alicia Krause]

And there's some good old boys from Mississippi and Alabama that have a certain tonality. Is that what you're talking about?

[Adam Carolla]

I'm not really saying good old boys. I'm saying Southern dandy. Like guys who would have owned a plantation back in the day. And they sound so we can't make

[Alicia Krause]

fun of them because their ancestors owned slaves.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. What was. We're allowed to make brothers. NASCAR announcing driver. It'll hit you. Tall guy. Let's see. Dale Jarrett. Now the brother. Parsons. Benny Parsons. I don't think it's Benny Parsons. You'll know it when you see it. He's tall. He's done tons of NASCAR events and he drove and his brother drove. So I'm trying to think of who.

[Show Producer/Announcer]

I only know him from his pictures. So I'm trying to find that.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, he'll drive me nuts. I can never think of this guy's name.

[Alicia Krause]

That's kind of interesting though, because most of the time sports announcers have a very unique, deeper tone.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah.

[Alicia Krause]

And most of the time women because our voices are at a higher register. Like I actually. Not because I'm sexist or self hating woman, but like there's not many women that I will listen to for a long period of time because there's a higher octave that is like less easy to listen to. So it's interesting that he ended up being like a. He can call the races because he has that kind of a voice.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, he raced for a long time, his brother race. And he was in the NASCAR booth for a million years. But I don't know why. Well, a lot of brothers race. It's not Jared, it's not LeBron.

[Show Producer/Announcer]

Kind of has a schoolhouser affectation.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. I don't know why. It's exactly who you're. I can picture him. He's tall, he's got dark hair. He's nice looking. He raced for a million years. His brother raced. I'm pretty sure his brother raced and he was in the booth for a million years. So I and hopefully there are lots of of people listening right now that are yelling this guy's name into the air and it's gonna drive me nuts. And we'll find as soon as we

[Jason 'Mayhem' Miller]

get off the air.

[Alicia Krause]

So the first one, the first suspension that this Daniel Dye kid got actually makes sense.

[Adam Carolla]

Waltrip. Yes. Now, why didn't Darrell Waltrip and Michael Waltrip, why doesn't that come up faster? But anyway, yeah, this is the first

[Alicia Krause]

suspension makes sense because he was 18 and he was taken out of the Oval in 2022 for allegedly punching a high school classmate in the groin, leading to a felon that was reduced to a misdemeanor before eventually being dropped.

[Adam Carolla]

I like this guy.

[Alicia Krause]

So we go from physical altercation to verbal altercation.

[Adam Carolla]

I like it. That's what you want. That's the guy you want behind the wheel. All right, this Sunday, Santa Ana. Go out and see me in the cars. Just go to amcroll.com for all the live shows. Nebraska is coming up again. Go to amcrol.com for the live stuff. Leisha Krause, where do we find you?
