A
Well, in this episode, Dre Di Matteo from the Sopranos will join us. Also news. And we'll do all that right after this. From Corolla One studios in Glendale, California, this is the Adam Carolla Show. Adam's guest today, Dre Di Matteo. Plus the news with Andrew Hobson. And now, Adam Carolla. Yeah, get it on. Got to get on the church we're gonna mandate. Get it. Thanks for tuning in. Thanks for telling Friends. Now, Dawson, you said Dre, but it's Dre, right?
B
I was actually impressed that someone said it right.
A
Dre.
B
I couldn't believe someone said Dre like Dr. Dre.
A
It was Dre. And then 10 seconds before the show started, Andrew walked up to me and went, drea, Drea. Drea. And I went, oh, okay.
B
Well, it's. Andrea is my real name. So if I'm in trouble.
A
But we go with Dre.
B
People call me Dre if they really know me. So I liked hearing Dre.
C
Oh, yeah.
A
All right, so it's Dre. Dre and I were speaking off the air about the teenagers and the kids these days. You got one of them driving. You got boy, girl. I got boy, girl, twins. Just turned 20, so I'm kind of just turned 20. So I'm right in there with you. I tell a joke, but I really mean it. People ask, what's it like raising the boy, girl, twins? I go raising the girls, like raising three kids. And raising the boys, like raising one old cat. My dude is super mellow, super easy, and super whatever.
B
Is he older?
A
Twins.
B
Oh, the boy.
A
Boy, girl, twins.
B
Oh, boy, girl, twins. Okay, I thought.
A
Sorry. Boy, girl, twins, same age. She's a handful. Yeah, and he's easy. Now, it can go the other way, but I do think girls are tougher these days.
B
See, I have a. It might be the generation. Because right now, boys that are 15, man, I mean, I can't believe the level of drama my son comes home with.
A
Son's got drama.
B
Yeah. The boys put him through hell.
A
Really?
B
I think that generation is different. My daughter, 18. It was a way calmer environment. Something happened.
A
I hear about this all the time. I have to think I'm an old guy. But this constant bombardment of, like, men, white men. The problem is the patriarchy. And the problem. All roads.
B
My favorite.
A
Every road leads to. By the way, all roads lead to white men. Except for we build all the fucking roads, bitches. Who do you think built the fucking roads and the bridges? White dudes. And now all of them lead to us being horrible, horrible people.
B
You can have that talk with me.
A
We had every. We created slavery. Every war was started by us. We did. Everything that's bad was built by white men, except for we built everything as well that you bitches use. But anyway, I'm old and I'm old enough to go fuck off. But your son is right in the middle of that, right? I mean, how does that work? Especially out in la?
B
It's funny, you know, It's a weird thing. There's a balance you have to walk with these kids, with the new way things are being formulated and the new society. And I think that what happened during the Biden administration, it made the boys that were real boys pissed off. It made them more pissed off. So it's kind of like you have to pull them back a little bit from being too angry. I mean, they're on these video games, they're screaming fuck you all day long. It is crazy sounding.
A
Well, you are weaponizing young dudes a percentage.
B
So.
D
Look,
A
by the way, just so people know, Sopranos, Five seasons. Six seasons.
B
I was on five.
A
Five seasons before they killed you. Anyway, everyone loves the Sopranos.
B
So all the 15 year olds are watching it now.
A
Are they?
B
Oh, my God.
A
You know what? You know what? Let me say this. My kids, they all went through the Friends and then they went through the Office, and they're probably getting into the Sopranos now. But here's what I'm saying. When I was young, the reruns were I Love Lucy and the Honeymooners, and they were black and white and they slept in separate beds. And it really didn't feel like 1975. It felt like it had a time stamp on it of 1956. You know, everything was a totally different hair, different guys were wearing suits through the ball game. Okay? Now you can watch the Office and you can watch Friends and you can watch. You can watch the Sopranos and just enjoy it as if you'd never seen the Godfather. And you're gonna sit down and watch your Godfather?
B
Yeah. Yeah. A lot of the kids don't get it. Some they love Breaking bad. Like my 15 year old. Really, I took him away with me on set, took him out of school for a month because the kids were being bitches. And I thought this would be a good time for me to take him out of school for a minute. And Breaking Bad, he watched the entire thing. He was obsessed with it. And then we tried to watch the Sopranos and I could tell he just doesn't totally get it, but his phone is bombarded by Sopranos feed.
A
Really?
B
All the kids. All the kids are getting Sopranos memes from morning till night. He's like, I gotta watch this now. And all his friends have already watched it.
A
Sure.
B
So he's like, I'm the only one who hasn't watched it. I'm like, I mean, you know, it would be cool if you watched.
A
There's an element of like, I've done three or four TV shows, I don't think. I'm pretty sure my cats haven't seen 10 seconds of one of them. I think there's a little element. More people outside the family have seen my work than the family members.
B
There's a used to being out with me and not being able to, you know, have a meal without getting interrupted.
A
Soprano talk, you know, and then I'm
B
always like, look at mommy. Mommy's got street cred. Especially when it's the kids. You know, when the kids come up to me, I'm always, look at the kids and I go, see, Mommy's cool. Mommy's cool.
A
Yeah, I know. We try to impress our kids and our parents didn't give two shits about impressing us whatsoever. Like, there was no. I wish my parents cared a little about impressing their kids. They had no interest in impressing their kids.
B
Oh, mine did.
A
Yours did.
B
Mine did. Tell me, first of all, my dad's a crazy Italian. How Italian are you? Like culture.
A
My dad. Here's the thing. My dad's full blooded Sicilian. His parents came here from Italy and he doesn't have an ounce of zest for life or passion or abundanza. He doesn't have any of it. He's just like. Like someone needs to wake him up. Sorry. Needed to wake him up. He's passed and say to him, hey, bro, you're Italian. How about you chase a little skirt and get a fucking Ferrari.
B
Was he raised here?
A
He raised in South Philly, but in an Italian neighborhood. His brothers are named Ralph and Mario.
B
Oh, wow, you're.
A
I mean, they're real Italian guys. His parents came from Italy. He doesn't have an ounce of any of it. He doesn't like to eat, he doesn't like to dance, he doesn't like to fuck. He doesn't want a sports car, doesn't want anything. Let's just sit on a sofa and read and be left alone.
B
What about your mom, was she Italian?
A
No, she was not Italian. And she suffers from the same disease my dad suffered from. So I got two flatliners, but I want to know.
B
That's why? You're a madman.
A
Well, wait a minute. Here's this test I use for parents. Moms. What kind of sand? Was your mom a good sandwich mom? Did she make you good sandwiches? Because that is a yardstick. A universal yardstick to measure love is how much sandwich time did she put in? How much energy and passion did she put into your sandwich?
B
Not one second.
A
No sandwich mom.
B
No. My mom, she grew up in a mafia family. My dad grew up in a mafia family. His way of trying to impress us was telling us how he told somebody to go fuck himself and the way in which he would do it.
A
I love one of those.
B
Was so good. And now I do it with the kids because. Cause my dad lives through me now in my household. And my mom was also spicy. But she became a playwright.
A
Oh.
B
She wanted to be an actress. And her father was like, only whores act. So of course that's what I ended up doing.
A
How'd your dad make his living?
B
My mother refused to allow him to be in that life because of her father. And she couldn't stand her father. I found out later, after I was on the Sopranos, that he was offered a button by each of the families to be a part of. Except for the Gambinos. Cause he was too wild.
A
Your dad was too wild that he
B
would not take orders or do the things that they requested.
A
He's quite a character, this guy.
B
Oh, yeah, he's cool.
A
So how did he make his money?
B
He ended up opening up a custom convertible company. Not cars. Don't get excited. Sofas.
A
Convertible sofas.
B
Yes.
A
Ah, Riviera convertible.
B
They were high. They were in the White House. All of the celebrities, all the sports guys, they were all custom made.
A
They're kind of the Murphy bed. Let me explain the evolution. Convertible sofas. Then we went to the futon. No, sorry, hold on.
B
Murphy bed, probably.
A
We started with the Murphy bed in like the 20s and the 30s. Then we moved to the convertible sofa. Pull out sofa. Sofa bed. Then we went to the futon. And now we've circled back to the Murphy bed, which is the high end. It looks like a beautiful bookshelf now. And you pull it down. So we've come full circle back to the Murphy. Now the convertible used to be a commercial. You can look it. The Riviera convertible sofas was a commercial I used to see when I was a kid.
B
Or Castro, he worked for Castro Convertibles.
A
There'd be a commercial, she'd go, like, I'll see on the Riviera convertible sofa. That Is like, oh, yeah. Convertible Riviera convertible sofa. Now.
B
How old are you?
A
I'm. I just turned 62.
B
Holy shit. I thought you were my age. I was wondering why you were talking about deep 70s. I thought you were my age.
A
So I. And I bought some bad pull out sofas that literally had like the bar going through the middle. You're literally sleeping. So your dad made a good living with this?
B
Yeah, I mean we were always, I would say upper middle class and because we were Italian, we were super nouveau riche, you know.
A
And was there dinner every night?
B
Yes, dinner every night. My grandmother cooked.
A
A grandmother cooked.
B
She cooked Italian every night.
A
But give me some dishes.
B
Chicken rollatini, steak, pizza, all. She made a lot of chicken cutlets. So she'd do like a Milanese eggplant parm Genoa sauce on a side.
A
So she'd cook every night.
B
Every night.
A
That was awesome.
B
Every single night.
A
And your dad was like a wild man.
B
No, I mean he was home on the couch after work and watching television.
A
Convertible sofa.
B
But my mother wouldn't be home. She would. On the convertible sofa. My mom would.
A
Your mom is a playwright?
B
Yes.
A
What year this looks like it's from the 50s, 60s.
B
I love that. Look at that. But his sofas looked like that. Like they weren't like a Jennifer house or these janky. They were all steel mechanisms. And our whole thing was you never saw our sofas on the side of the road. And you never did because they were like starting at $5,000 sometimes back then. Back then they probably. It depends on the size I used to sell them.
E
Oh, okay.
B
So you know, I know everything about the sleep.
A
So I'll tell you nothing worse than the pull out sofa that you don't know about. They look like a regular sofa until your buddy asks you to help them move. And then you crawl. You start to try to lift things, like lifting a suv like you've never seen a sofa that heavy.
B
Not many of them. A lot of them are pretty freaking light because they're made of garbage.
A
Oh, but your stuff is wild.
B
Yeah, these are handmade.
A
All right. The worst part of moving a convertible sofa is when you're carrying it. When it slops out, it'll open up on you.
B
The cheap one will open up on you.
A
Not the stuff your dad was making.
B
Yeah.
A
All right, let's see the convertible Riviera commercial from my childhood.
B
Why not enjoy the remarkable versatility of living on the Riviera Convertible sofa, that is, you wouldn't believe. A luxurious double bed is tucked away Inside this Riviera sectional. Unless you open it and discover how Riviera extends.
A
Your dad be like that whore. That self is a piece of
B
Riviera can be. Now you can enjoy the remarkable versatility of Riviera's modern or provincial. Had I known about this commercial fabric in your choice of rich turquoise.
A
$169 at 88 cents.
B
Open at a touch.
A
Whoa, look at that action.
B
That was all steel underneath. It was a steel mechanism. Beautiful, beautiful versatility in your life. Enjoy the remarkable guy's playing the Hammond
A
organ in the corner.
B
Take us back.
A
Here's what I used to do. I'd sit around at home in my sweat box in North Hollywood and go, well, that's something else we're not going to have. But a guy can dream. I've never. No one in my family has ever bought a new piece of furniture. Ever. If my family were customers for your dad, you'd be out on the street. No one in my family's ever bought a new piece of furniture.
B
Everything was handed down. They had family.
E
Remember?
A
The shit that you were talking about was dragged out to the curb. That's what they got. That's what they got.
B
Throws out my antiques. He wants to throw all my shit out.
A
And then he picks up stuff on the street. What year was that? That had to be even early. I saw a kind of 70s version of. You're on the Riviera convertible sofa. That is now. I haven't seen that commercial since I was nine. The newest one is Riviera reupholstered furniture. So you just connected dots for me? Live on the Riviera reupholstered furniture, that is. So now they'll take all the old Riviera stuff that you bought way back then. Don't get rid of it. It just needs to be reupholstered. That's their business now. I can't believe you don't know the Riviera company.
B
I can't believe I don't know it either. My brother who also passed away recently, who worked there. He probably. But I got out of that. I had to go become the horror actress.
F
You?
B
I had other things too.
A
You were looking for the footlights.
B
I couldn't sell the fucking couches.
A
You're so beyond that. That would be such a waste of your talent.
B
I wish I was doing that now, to be honest with you. Now that I can't really act anymore. Now that those fucking days are over. Since COVID Well, do you feel like
A
you got blacklisted because of the vaccine thing?
B
That Started. That was the start of it. But had it just been that? I think the only. When I did the OnlyFans thing as a. I don't know what the hell I was doing there, but it was, you know, to save the house. And we saved the house. We did it. But we saved the lien on the house and the foreclosure, not the actual mortgage part, because who can afford to live in California these days, right? But it wasn't that. It was when I did one news article and it was over the vaccine. And then it went explosive. And then this coming on this podcast. This was the first time I had spoken out about anything. So you were like my coming out party, I guess some people would say, as not being a Democrat or something. Even though I was never anything, I never cared about either political party at all. But the vaccine thing then snowballed into me starting ultra free the company to deflect away from the OnlyFans thing, which is still there and alive. It's like an Adriana fan page. But yeah, I think because I started speaking out so much about everything and I just didn't fucking stop. And then all of a sudden I think I ran into you in New York doing Fox or Newsmax or something and I became the go to to bash on Hollywood. So that's where I ended up. And then I just started talking about the corporations and the monopolies and going farther than I guess a regular actor would have gone, that blacklisted me more than the vaccine.
A
Yeah. So the folks that hate McCarthyism love McCarthyism as long as they're taking someone who they think may have voted for Trump or doesn't like Fauci and blackballing them. So they never stop bitching about McCarthyism. But they would like to cancel anybody from their means of earning an income if they disagree with them in any number of. There could be 10 things, 10 subjects. You disagree with one of them and you will be canceled and you'll no longer be able to pay your mortgage. So that's how they preach now. The good news is. And then it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy because what happens is you get your back turned on you by all these people and you no longer can make an income in their biosphere. So then you get pushed out of it and it's basically, it's like a tent and it's a giant tent that says Hollywood Progressive Democrat. And you were living in that tent because you couldn't read the writing on the roof of the tent that was outside the tent. You Just lived with these people and worked with the these people. Never thought anything of it, but you didn't know it said progressive Democrat, Hollywood elite on outside of the tent. And then at some point things like Covid came around and you're like, well, listen, if you wanna get vaccinated, that's your business. But I got young, healthy kids, I don't want them to get vaccinated. And then they started pushing you out of the tent. And then you're like, biden, this guy seems like he's got dementia. Something's wrong with this guy. And then you started getting pushed and some point you got pushed out. And now you just found yourself standing at night in the desert and it's raining and you're like, I like it. Back in the tent. And they're like, no coming back. You said shit about Biden or Kamala Harris. You said some truthful things and you didn't know who you're dealing with. And so we've shoved you out of the tent. So now you're in the desert and it's raining and you see another tent over in the distance and you go, oh, that looks like shelter. And you start walking toward that tent and then that tent says maga, Fox Newsmax on it and they go, come on in, come on in, we got a full buffet. And you go, I'm not really, this isn't really my tent. You know, I didn't grow up in this tent. And they go, well, come on in. And you go, well, they won't let me back in that tent. And I'm standing out in the rain, so I need a tent. And I don't really have my own tent, so I guess I'll just come in with you guys. And then the pussies in your tent go see what tent she's in. It's like, yeah, bitch, you pushed me out of your tent and I need a tent, so fuck off.
B
I mean, I never even fucking voted in my life.
A
I know, that's the whole point. You said something normal about that vaccines and Covid. And for that you should.
B
I did vote for Biden. I did. I had Trump derangement syndrome. For a minute there, I believed the hype. I listened to the kids in my neighborhood that were like, we need your votes. You do this.
A
Oh, it's interesting.
B
I'll vote for this fucking guy. And then the regret that I felt voting for him was insane, by the way. I thought it was progressive of me to be like, I'm not getting that vaccine cuz it's my body, my choice. And this is the way we think over here. We're hippies. Right?
A
Right.
B
Us on the left are hippies. Californians are hipp. They are. Fuck. I feel like this state has gone completely fucking mad.
A
They've gone nuts. Well, I mean, you know, yeah, my mom's an old hippie.
B
Neither side will have me. So now I'm disenfranchised. And I have been. Because once I did, once I went over to the right, they loved me in the beginning to get, you know, first I was on the Kennedy side. And then when Kennedy went over to Trump and they asked us all to go, we all moved over to the Trump side and they used me for that. And that was fine because I spoke my mind and I was fine with it. And I was selling T shirts and Ultra Free was doing great.
A
Mm.
B
Even though people associate it with some kind of right wing thing.
A
Right.
B
But then when we wanted to sell T shirts at Turning Point, we got shut down because I was on OnlyFans. And Charlie was lovely about it. The messages that he had sent back to us and stuff. And they paid for us to be there. Cause we wanted to be there. But they said the sponsors would never have it because you have an OnlyFans page. And I'm like, but it's, you know, it's still just like a fun page. It's not the pornography or anything. And they're like, we can't do it. And I was like, I see. And that's the moment I realized that was my other turning point where I was like, wow. I'm like, I have nowhere to go. So it's okay. I feel better. And that's what Ultra Free is about. And that's why we started the podcast, even. It's a slow burn for us because I've been blocked everywhere. We might have fixed a little bit of the freedom of speech stuff, or so we thought we did. But now it's freedom of reach and freedom of reason. But Ultra Free is about, you know, you don't have to be on the right or on the left. You can just want to talk about shit without a political agenda to take the politics out of a lot of subjects that have become overly politicized for no friggin reason. Like medical choices should not be political.
A
No, I listen, I agree. Trump weaponized everybody. And if you basically said something that was normal and a normal part of a Democratic platform just a few years ago, like, well, we need a stout border, we need to vet people. They're coming in this country. Oh, MAGA guy. So then they started punishing you that way.
B
I think it was all weaponized. I don't think it was necessarily Trump. I just think it's the machine, the way it operates.
A
No, everything makes you choose a lane. What I'm saying is on the right side of the aisle, you can agree to disagree. Meaning if you take some of the Mount Rushmore of Republican influencers, right leaning people they deal with, then you got your Charlie Kirk passed, obviously. So you got Candace Owens. Candace Owens is doing battle with Charlie Kirk's wife. Ben Shapiro is doing battle with Candace Owens. Ben Shapiro is doing battle with Tucker Carlson. Tucker Carlson is doing battle with Ben Shapiro or Joe Rogan.
B
It's my favorite show. It's my favorite show.
A
Nobody agrees on anything. I know on the left side, Al, they all agree on everything because they're fucking lying.
B
Yes.
A
Now you go, I agree with Ben Shapiro or I agree with Tucker Carl. I don't care if you agree or disagree. That's how they feel and that's why they're disagreeing. Magically. Everyone on left is lockstep on every subject all the time. So that's how I know they're lying. So the right is just gonna have battle after battle and disagreement after disagreement. They disagree. You know, it's weird because the right, the left is funny. They always go, the right's all in lockstep. They're all in line. No, they're not. Ben Shapiro, Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, Megyn Kelly. They're constantly disagreeing with Trump. So how can they be. Meanwhile, Joe Biden is on his fifth stroke and you guys are all calling it a deep fake. So shut the fuck up. That's you guys. The right doesn't do that. They battle over everything. You can't even get all the right. Now you got all these lefty socialist douchebag people. They're all fucking in the same camp. You couldn't put Candace Owens, Ben Shapiro and Tucker Carlson and Megyn Kelly in the same room. A fucking fist fight would break out. You can't do that. You can do that with anyone on the left. You can get fucking Ro Khanna and all these other douchebags. Put them all. Get Kamala Harris, all the leftist guys. Put them all in the same fucking tent. All they'll do is fucking eat the free sushi. There'll be no arguments, so shut up. Gavin Newsom, Ro Khanna, Kamala Harris. Put them all in the same place. They'll just not.
B
It's true.
A
They'll Fuck off.
B
I mean, I stepped away from it all. I don't even know what's going on. I didn't even want to come on the show at first. I go, look, I can't go on. I can't fucking talk about politics anymore. They keep trying to get me to go on Fox and Newsmax and I'm like, I have nothing to say anymore.
A
Well, what.
B
I slipped into a different dimension after the election.
A
I don't. Pardon me for sounding naive, but what goes on on Onlyfans that is so offensive. I don't know what to exactly picture like is. I mean, can you do full blown porn on Onlyfans?
B
You could do it all, I'm sure. I mean, I've never seen any of it.
A
Versus tasteful nudes.
B
Listen, I mean, it would have the man show, which I hadn't. I didn't watch back then. Last night I looked it up. Cause I was like, why don't I remember the Man Show? I was probably too busy partying in those days, but I was obsessed with it. First of all, I couldn't believe that
A
I, as an adult or as a.
B
I was having fun watching it. I was like, holy shit. I didn't know you. I didn't know the whole. How close you were to Kimmel and all that stuff. I just learned about all of that and I loved watching it. I was hysterically laughing, but I'm like a dude. But imagine making that show now. And imagine, imagine if you were making that show now. You'd be talking about Onlyfans all day. You'd be having the Onlyfans bitches up in there all day long.
D
True.
B
That is true. What were the dancers called?
A
The Juggie Dance Club. They said, well, you know how they came about. I think they came out when they're like. I was like, it's called the man show. It's me and Jimmy. It's our point of view. And they're like, we need a feminine perspective in that. And I'm like, we do. And they're like, we need a feminine presence on the show. And we're like, okay, we'll give you a feminine presence. And so we're invented the Juggie Dan Squad. But all right, only tell me if I'm wrong here.
B
Yes.
A
If you start an Only fans page and it's just you in a sweat suit and a ball cap and tennis shoes, that's not really gonna fly.
B
If I would've done. I posted a picture of myself in a bikini. It was a place marker for a podcast we were gonna do the podcast there so it wouldn't be censored. And then I put that picture up, and in 75 minutes, I paid off a $75,000 lie.
A
Really?
B
So I was like, oh, shit, I'm putting another motherfucking picture up right now. Let's see what happens. The whole household was like, do it, do it, do it. I was like, okay, I'm doing this. Holy shit.
A
You know, here's why I never judge. The reason I never judge. If somebody said, hey, Adam, all you gotta do is take a picture and just show a little sack out of the side of your shorts, and you can pay the lien off on the house. I'd be like, let me get my sack out. Like, I would never go, like, well, I'm like, too good for that. But you must. Does it have to get more and more risque as you go? Do you have to up the ante?
B
I mean, if I wanted to really make money there now, yes.
A
You have to get nude or how's it work?
B
I'm sure. I mean, I'm not. I'm not. It's. The page is fine. It's like. It's like having residuals now.
A
Right. So what's, like, the most risque thing you would find on that page?
B
Oh, I think girls are doing full porn.
A
I'm talking about yours, though.
B
Oh, my page. I don't. I mean, it's pretty. I mean, I don't post pictures of myself on my Instagram. I never have. And I hadn't done a photo shoot for so many years, so I did photo shoots for OnlyFans. So it's. They're like pictures that would be in a magazine for the most part, but some of them are, like, more intimate pictures. Like, they're in my house.
A
Right. So the only fans has kind of the stigma.
B
I did full nudity, by the way. I did do it.
A
I didn't do it on OnlyFans.
B
I did it this year. Nobody even really knew about it.
A
I'm old.
B
Like, it doesn't matter. I did a nudity thing where I painted my body. The American flag. Half American flag, half camouflage bullet holes all over me. Chains around my neck, The American eagle on me and going down my leg. It said, stop geoengineering.
A
Wow.
B
I was pissed about the geoengineering stuff. So that was my way of, you know, it was kind of like. I don't know, it was protest art.
A
Wait, is Geo different than gmo?
B
Yeah, but it's all. It starts to all. Yes, it's different. Geoengineering is what they do in the sky with all the chemtrails. And they don't like for us to use that word, even the people in the community.
A
Chemtrails?
B
Yeah, they don't like the word because it kind of alienates the reality of the situation to a degree. Because it's become a conspiracy theory.
A
Yeah. What is now? So there's chemtrails and then there are formerly contrails.
B
The contrails are just the condensation.
A
Right.
B
From different.
A
What's the chemtrails.
B
The chemtrails are actually filled with barium strontium aluminum. They also figured out now that there are polymers that are carrying. That can carry just about any viruses Covid could have been. I mean, there are some people that did say that Covid was dropped out of airplanes.
A
Who. Who is behind this?
B
I mean, there's a. There's a really good book. I hadn't read it yet. It's by Peter Kirby, I think that's his name, his first name. It goes back into the 40s.
A
And so here's the way I feel. I'm not. I don't have an aluminum. Sorry, I don't have a tinfoil hat, but I do feel like I have a tinfoil yarmulke. It's a little bit smaller than a hat, but I'm starting to get one. I'm growing it, you know. And Covid really got me going. Like all the bullshit and the Fauci and all of the organizations and all the China and all the lying and all the gain of function and all the. All the big.
B
It's all coming out.
A
It's all coming out. Like, listen, Fauci is only going one direction, which is. It gets worse every week for him because he was a lying piece of shit that idiots made into a hero. And then so Covid really kind of woke me up to like, oh man, shit. Our government's capable of doing a lot of shit, but Covid, you know, Big Pharma got paid off of COVID And Big Pharma contributes to the people that are making the policies. And I can kind of see that. So for me, I believe in conspiracies, quote unquote. When I can find a money trail like who is getting paid? I don't tend to do it just cuz these people are evil. I do it like, this is how these people get paid. So how does the GEO stuff. Who's getting paid? Like who would this serve as an advantage to?
B
Well, the money part I don't know if the reason why we started our podcast originally was to deal with geoengineering. In the beginning. I knew I was gonna leave that
A
and go, so give me a Geoengineering for Dummies kind of explanation.
B
I won't be able to give it to you because I brought all these experts on the show to explain it to me because I am still in this. Like, this is one topic that it's hard to find all of the money trails for it. But what you see is the writings in the sky. I mean, you see that they're doing it. It's all been tested. There's Dane Wigginton who's gone up there, taken the samples out of the sky. You have whistleblowers from the military that were in charge of making sure that the emissions and that all of these chemicals were not being used on the population. And now she's looking at paper that she needs to sign that is actually saying that they're poisoning the atmosphere. And this was. Her name is Kristen Megan. She's all over the place talking about it. There are a bunch of. There's a few movies about it. One is called Climate Trails, and then the other one is called the Dimming. The Dimming is. Climate Trails is for beginners. The Dimming takes you deep into. And that is by geoengineeringwatch.org and that's Dane Wigginton's film.
A
So what's the end game for?
B
That's what I don't know. I'm trying to understand myself. They say it's to block the sun. They say it's dimming. They're saying that to dim the sun for the ozone, to. You know, this is for our own good. I even watched. What's his name, who's the Astro? Tyson.
A
Yeah.
B
Yeah, that guy. I watched him conduct a panel of people that were against geoengineering. And I knew that they were gonna start to try to normalize.
A
Neil DeGrasse Tyson.
B
That guy, the middleman, Neil DeGrasse Tyson. So he interviewed six people that were against geoengineering. And he had one person who was for it. And they were saying that they were considering doing it. They always tell you they're considering doing it when the fucking thing's been going on since 1945 or 47, whatever year they started the program. I mean, Disney even put chemtrails into their films. Afterwards. They went in and doctored films, supposedly because you don't see this in old. In old films because they weren't doing it back then, but it's. I don't know what it's about. I mean, they can project things into the sky. I mean, if Project Blue Beam, whatever, be a thing, I don't think that's what it is. But the bottom line is this. It's making people sick, it's causing Alzheimer's, it causes cancer. It's in our food and it's in our water. That's the problem.
A
Where do you land on vaccines now?
B
Yeah, I wouldn't fucking touch them.
A
Yeah, I agree.
B
I wouldn't go near them. I don't trust this government. I don't trust the medical. Well, it's hard unless I break a leg or need an operation.
A
Yes, it's hard to argue with. And I'm making these numbers up, but, you know, in 1960, there were four vaccines given to kids, and one in every 100,000 had down syndrome or something, or was autistic. And now there's 75 vaccines and one out of every eight kid has. On the spectrum of down syndrome, it's hard to argue with those kinds of numbers and results. It doesn't necessarily mean it's all in vaccines, but I cannot think of a good reason to give your newborn kids 75 vaccines.
F
No.
A
And sorry, color me dubious. Based on the last time you wanted me to take a vaccine and it was total bullshit and nobody should have taken it unless you're super elderly or super sick. And then. And the crazy, the psyop that started with all the news and everyone yelling at you, can you find. I was thinking about this the other day.
B
The mandates.
A
Yes, the worst. Remember, we play every once in a while, those two black ladies on MSNBC talking about hair relaxer and then going into a long spiel about vaccines. And it's like a really. So some of the stuff you watch that's four years old, you go like, oh, my God, what were you talking about?
B
Getting fucking nurses, Right?
A
Oh, that was way back in 20, 22 and a half. Did you like that? I was just watching MSNBC and it was two black women, one a physician, the other a host. Bizarrely, the physician was explaining that but black ladies were getting cancer because of a hair relaxer, and her hair was straight as Marcia Brady's. And then she's talking to the woman with the natural, who's not the doctor, who's not using the relaxer anyway. And at some point it just takes a turn for getting vaccinated. It was like somebody said it'd be like somebody said, look, Adam, when you talk to dream. I know. You need to do a commercial for vaccines. And then I'd be like, oh, yeah, the man show. That was fun with me and Jimmy and girls on trampolines, by the way. Some of those girls are not here with us today, Dre, because they didn't get vaccinated. Now, let me tell you about vaccinations. And it's like they're doing this whole thing on hair, and then they just go right into vaccines, and then the doctor just starts lying about vaccines. Just total bullshit about vaccines. And that segment was longer than the hair segment, which is what the segment was supposed to be about.
B
They slide it in, man.
A
Yes. It's somewhere in our computer, Dawson. I mean, can't you have to add
B
fucking Disney tickets to go? I mean, they were handing out, like, consent forms at the school, and they were giving it to the kids. They weren't even emailing them to the parents.
A
What about when you watch one of those commercials where de Blasio was, like, sitting there? He's like, I've got a hamburger. You like crinkle fries?
B
Terrible.
A
Put some. Inject some experimental poison in your body, and you can get $1.50 worth of fucking crinkle fries for free.
B
It's fucking crimes against humanity.
A
I totally agree.
B
And he's sitting there eating fucking French fries. My episode this week on the show is about a girl in the military. Oh, look at that fucking cocksucker.
A
Let's listen to what a retard he is, by the way. Taking elderly people and sending them to their death.
B
Yeah.
A
And homes. Oh, my God. I got vaccinated. Good for you. You're saying I could get this. Eat delicious fries. But there's also a burger element to this.
B
Yeah, nice and dry. Going down your throat.
A
Too early in the day to eat a burger. This could be breakfast, okay? We were freaking governed by retarded people. I mean, again, some people love hamburgers. Some don't really want to respect all. She's got a lot of vegan. If this is appealing to you, just think of this when you think of vaccination.
B
Vaccination. Oh, God.
A
I'm getting a very good feeling
B
about
A
vaccination rate this moment.
B
Oh, I should have played that at the top of the episode that ultra free just aired. Because it's a kid from the military in her twenties. In her fucking twenties. She didn't wanna do the first one. And they were like, you'll get dishonorable discharge. She did the first one. Flu, like, symptoms, no big deal. Okay? Then they Say, you gotta do the second one. She's like, I really don't wanna do this. It just doesn't feel right. She does it. And a few days later, she can't walk, really. And she still can barely walk to this day. And I am in constant communication with her about, you know, we've tried to has GoFundMes, and there's a new experimental thing they're doing in Japan now and in Tennessee where they can change. They're switching out your blood, basically.
A
Really?
B
But these kids that are injured, there's so many of them, it's astounding. Dr. Holscher, who I think is on the board of the Wellness Company with Dr. Drew, I think that the number for the Pfizer deaths alone was at 500,000. And I can't remember if. I don't know if I have my stats right, but if it was just America or if that was worldwide, but either way, that's one too fucking many. It doesn't matter. And these people are super injured. And they've been talking about it and they've been shutting them down on Facebook. They took all their pages away. Nobody could convene and stop.
A
Let's not forget, get Supreme Court Justice Sotomayor wanting to force every American to take vaccinations and lying about how many young people were on ventilators. Let's not forget her on the Supreme Court trying to force all Americans. By the way, whenever the Democrats go, you want the Supreme Court. Yeah, I do want the Supreme Court the way it is, because you have dumb bitches who are trying to get people back. Everybody on the left of the Supreme Court voted for mandatory vaccinations for all Americans while lying about the information.
B
So, yeah, they got huge kickbacks for the ventilators. They got 36,000, something like that in Tennessee to get someone on a ventilator. And remdesivir, that shuts the organs down. The remdesivir was shutting people's organs down. That was Fauci's first infraction. When it came to Ebola, I knew
A
really pretty much one person in my world died of COVID It was my old friend Ozzy I made movies and work construction with. And I remember they were like, monitoring him. He's like, he's in the hospital. They're putting him on a ventilator. And then it was like, did they
B
put him on that drug?
A
Yes. And then three days later, he didn't make it. Yeah, the ventilator didn't save him. The ventilator fucked everyone up.
B
But the remdesivir was the first line of action.
A
Right, but ivermectin's for horses. Okay, everyone got it. You were lied to, you idiots. You were all lied to. All right, let's listen to these two nut jobs.
F
Concerning. Results are being reported from a new study showing that chemicals found in black hair care and cosmetic products have a greater impact on black women's risk of breast cancer. Called parabens are responsible for the increased risk in black women. But the same results weren't seen in white women. The parabens also promoted the spread of breast cancer cells in the body with a bigger effect in black pieces. MSNBC medical contributor Dr. Ebony Hilton, who has.
A
All right, pause. Who's used more paraffins in their hair than the expert doctor whose hair she. All right, here's all you need to do. Picture Jennifer Newsom's hair. Picture Gavin Newsom's wife's hair. Except for on a black woman in black. And that's exactly flung over. She uses. She must dip her head in a barrel of hair relaxer before she goes to the hospital every day. So they're going, so the woman with the crazy natural, like her fro is like 1970s Cleopatra Jones from 1974 is gonna talk to one of the chicks who has a hairstyle like one of the chicks on Friends, but she's a doctor, and she's gonna explain why this stuff is bad for you. Which already were. It's already insane. The jumping off point's insane. But here we go.
F
Medical contributor Dr. Ebony Hilton. And parabens are not something that I was completely unfamiliar with before this study because, you know, often if you're, like, on the Sephora website, it will note, like, there are no parabens in these particular cosmetics. This is a movement that cosmetic companies have had to respond to. But help us understand the direct link between chemicals like parabens and breast cancer. What does the data show us?
A
Hold on. I have parabens in my ears. I can't hear. I got hair relaxer in my ears. All right, this is the last. Okay. By the way, why didn't she just light up a cigarette and talk about lung cancer? Cause that's really. It's really like we're interviewing a doctor about lung cancer and he's smoking a fucking cigarette. That's all this is. All right, let's hear her show us.
C
Right. The data shows that it not only helps promote the cells changing to be cancerous cells, but also to the progression of it spreading and being more malignant. And this is not just with parabens. We know there are many killers.
A
So this is part one of craziness. But if you go to the middle, Dr. Ebony Hilton, you go to the middle. Well now that's not the middle. But if you go to the middle play from there, then she'll seamlessly get into getting vaccinated.
F
My dad was looking for the cure for cancer, everybody. That was what his job was for over 25 years. So I just know from him that there are so many different chemicals and so many things like you said, food and cosmetics that can cause cancer. But what are we talking about here? How do we check the products before we purchase them to know what chemicals we should avoid?
B
What?
A
I run into this every time. There's two parts to this one. You got just the hair part.
B
Is she an anesthesia?
A
This thing should be endovirologist should be six minutes long.
B
So random.
A
Yeah, that's just the hair part. The get vaccinated part's the second part that we've separated them into two chunks and we never label them. But we should label one just hair, no vaccine. And the other one vaccine hair, that.
B
But I get it. That was happening non stop. It was.
A
This will blow your mind. I mean when they shameless, they start talking. Remember the long haulers. Remember that Long Covid. Long haul. Covid. All right, if this thing is early
C
on, the kids are protected. But what we know is.
A
Wait a minute, how long is this thing? Sorry, that'll tell me. 2 minutes and 30 seconds. All right, so go to the front so that we broke it in half.
F
Turn to the topic of COVID On Tuesday, President Biden announced vaccines are now available for kids under the age of five. I know a lot of parents out there have been waiting forever for this announcement. What do you want to tell them about vaccinating their children under five and how important that is?
C
Right? For one, I would hope they see that it did take a long time before this was rolled out because first safety had to be verified. And that is. That is most important. The second thing I want them to know is oftentimes this was stated on that kids are protected. But what we know is that six times the number of kids died from COVID than the flu this past year. Right. We had 600 children who are no longer with us from 2021 because of COVID 19. And there is now a method that you can use to help protect your child from being hospitalized and keep them alive to see next year. And there's the same, you know, if you stay ready, you don't have to get ready. Keep your kids vaccinated, make sure they're wearing those masks, and practice those same mitigating factors that we've been doing now
A
for two and a. Oh, I paused, by the way. Masks didn't work, distancing didn't work, and vaccines are bad for your kids. And I thought we were talking about hair, but all right, we just moved on, but keep going. She's got more insights.
B
Have you seen the conspiracies that were floating around? Whether it's a conspiracy theory or not, I don't even know. But there was all this paperwork and I saw it during COVID like right as they were rolling out the vaccines maybe a year after. And it said that I had a theory about the whole trans thing. And the trans thing was they don't care about trans people, they care about transhumanism. And they're just trying to get that word in everyone's vocabulary every night. At least that's how I felt. And then all of a sudden I see this paperwork and it looks patented and there are numbers that correlate with it. And they took it down off of the Supreme Court website or I don't know what website it was, but it said that if anyone had over 2 of the vaccines, that they didn't qualify for human rights anymore because they are now transhuman, because they've been pumped up with so much technology. By the way, the geoengineering also supposedly has that technology, which is called Smart Dust. And this is the stuff they talk about having them at bank tellers in case they can read you and tell if you're really supposed to be at that bank account and all this kind of crazy shit. I mean, there's crazy technology out there.
A
I agree. The question is, is it being used against us?
B
Well, yes.
A
Well play. You don't have to get rid of stuff that quickly, Andrew. I didn't get to the good part yet. Oh, shit.
B
I'm sorry.
A
That's right.
B
I just fucking went right in there with that trans human.
A
We got organ failure coming up.
C
Oh, is that. COVID 19 is linked to a number of different disease processes that we can already trace. You know, they say, well, you can't tell the long term consequences of the vaccine. Well, yes we can in this acute time. We've now been. I've got my vaccine back in December 2020, right. I was the first person at the University of Virginia. We've now been able to track persons like me to see what has happened, has anything changed? But what we also know is that we're tracking people who have COVID 19, children and adults alike. And what we know is that one in every five persons who've been infected with COVID 19 now has a lingering disability where their organs, their heart, their lungs, their kidneys, their brain is no longer functioning in the same way than it was before they got infected.
A
One in five.
C
And when you take that developing child whose organs have not come to what it's going to be for the rest of their life, and you stress it out, you put it on that treadmill and say, I want you to sprint, what does that do for the longevity of their life? Not only in the quantity of their life and whether or not they will live a full life as we hope to live, but the quality of their life. Don't want to see that. We don't know what that's going to be.
A
She's wrong about everything. Every single thing she's saying she's wrong about. And that's all that difference. I. I don't know.
B
Listen, look at her face. She's like. She's like.
A
She's doing a little. Some head nods in there. So only fans.
B
Oh, back to only fans. Yes. Let's endorse this shit. Can you guys go on and buy some naked pictures of me and my. Stop geoengineering. And my red, white and blue? I also painted myself as a tiger as an homage.
A
Do you have.
B
Shit.
A
Does somebody. Adriana, does somebody airbrush you?
B
Yes. It was intense. I had to bend over to get airbrushed. It was absolutely fucking insane.
A
I don't know a lot about airbrush etiquette, but I couldn't believe it. Do you wear nothing or do you have to. Can you wear a little something when you're getting airbrushed?
B
No, there's nothing really there when you're getting. I mean, maybe to cover your hair. That's it. But other than that. No, you're getting airbrushed. But you know, when you're. Listen, if I. If one of my. If my kid or my. My kids friends were like, yeah, I'm doing only, I'd be like, are you out of your fucking mind? No, I'm 150 years old. It doesn't matter what I do anymore. It doesn't matter. And I'm. You know, people know I'm crazy at this point because I'm crazy for speaking out against the government in Hollywood. Like, that just makes me crazy to begin with.
A
Does. Yeah. I get it. But, you know, here's the deal. I believe you believe what you say, because if somebody says something that is not helpful to their career and that actually prevents them from making money in a lot of instances, then you don't have to agree with the person, but you do have to agree that they believe that. And that's kind of my thing. Like, people sometimes would. Would accuse people of just saying stuff to get along, you know?
B
Yeah.
A
The people that say things that are unpopular, those are the people you need to listen to because basically agreeing and saying popular stuff is real easy for. For people to do, and you get rewarded. It's also kind of weird that we're living in a society and it was kind of COVID related where the people that just got along parroted everything these bitches were talking about and just parroted everything. Rochelle Walensky and the CDC and the president and Biden and every single thing Fauci said, the people who parroted every single thing they said and did every single thing Gavin Newsom told him to do, they labeled themselves the heroes. And then the people that spoke out and asked questions, those were the cowards, basically. And it's like you guys flipped the script. You guys are pussies who went along with everything. And I question things and end up. The slings and arrows are what you get when you do that. You put yourself in a vulnerable position, and somehow now I'm the villain in this and you're the hero. You're the hero because you went along with what everybody told you to do and shut the fuck up.
B
But now they're. Now it's inverted again. I mean, now if Trump is continuing any of the things that we voted against, which obviously there are a lot of things that all the Republicans are split up over right now, but now the Democrats are taking certain Republican sides, and now Democrats are. You know, it's the same stuff. They're still fighting about the same stuff. But if it's Trump doing it, it's a whole other. It takes on a whole other vibe. So it'll never fucking stop. It'll never stop. But our thing with Ultra Free, with our whole thing, is I don't have to be right about anything. I just want to be free to decide and for the story to develop, because the story is always fucking developing and it's always going to change. My opinions are going to change. I mean, everybody being pissed off at Tucker for changing his story, it's like. But maybe. And they're like, well, you said this in this Interview. And you said this in that interview. And he's like, no, I didn't. No, I didn't. And it's like, who fucking cares if he did or he didn't? Do you remember every fucking thing you say in a podcast? I don't remember what the fuck I talk about at all. I go black when I'm doing the podcast. And then I don't watch them either. So if somebody watches and sees something that I said, I'll be like, okay, well, maybe I said that, but maybe I've changed my mind. Like, I want to have the freedom to change my mind as the fucking story develops. And I might agree with some Democrats, and I might agree with some Republicans, and I might think you're all fucking crazy at the end of the day
A
how you have 18 and 15 year old.
B
Yes.
A
18 year old is the girl.
B
Yes.
A
She's learning to drive.
B
Yes.
A
Making you nervous.
B
Oh, yes, she's driving right now. She was supposed to pick me up here.
A
Cars are exquisitely safe now.
B
Yes and no. I don't like the cars.
A
No, they're safe. They're super safe.
B
I love the new cars. I like old cars.
A
I know, but they're not nearly safe. I mean, think about that, Andrew. Were we talking about that with that story? I can't remember what it is, but that dude up north, I think it was in a Tesla, drove off a 250 foot cliff with his family.
B
I've heard about that.
A
Trying to kill his family.
B
Wait, oh, really?
A
I guess I. I don't know what his motivation was. I've definitely driven my family in the past and went like, you know what? I'm one beer away from fucking going right through that K rail, bitch. Let me. Shut up already. Let me think. And that guy drove that car off a 250 foot cliff and everyone survived.
C
Wow.
A
Yes.
B
I mean, is that.
A
Is that the story we're talking about that had Tesla in it or not? I can't remember. Is that a separate.
B
Yeah, I heard that car is damn strong, but I don't want my car to have a biometric system inside it and I don't want it.
A
Oh, I get it. I don't want any of that shit. Oh, you're worried about Navageddon?
B
Yeah.
A
The man who drove his family off a cliff. 45 year old radiologist from Pasadena. July. So we're. Oh, anniversary time. Right, right. A year. Oh, sorry. On July. County judge dismissed three attempted murder charges against successfully completed. Catastrophic crash occurred in January 23rd. And Patel drove his white Tesla off a 250 foot cliff at a notoriously treacherous stretch of PCH Devil Slide. Miraculously, him and his wife and his young kids were all. All survived the plunge. That would not happen in your super cool old 72 Oldsmobile. You would be dead. So.
B
But they thought maybe it's just a Tesla. It's like a fucking rocket ship now
A
new cars are safe. So are they saying, Andrew, that he was attempting to murder his family and then they went, no, it's just bad driving. Were. Huh?
B
They were.
E
Yes, it was ruled he had a mental health break or break from reality. That's what the judge just ruled. So it's like that dismissed potential, but he did try to commit murder.
A
That's what he did.
E
It was intentional.
B
How bad does it by the way?
A
You want to get out? You want to forever pass on not having to pick anyone up from the airport? That's it right there. Your phone's never gonna fucking ring. Hey, man, fucking uber station is 7 blocks from lax and all they got is Uber black and that's like 400 bucks. So could you swing by? Oh, I'm out. I'm out and I'm off. I'm where Pepperdine is. You know where I live. Come on, man. Up the canyon. Jesus Christ. I don't know. Shouldn't you still be. Listen, this thing where you murder people because you snap. Aren't you still murdering people? Like I get in a big argument with my girlfriend, so I stab her to death. Oh, ladies and gentlemen, he just snapped. Oh, okay. Snapped. All right, well, let's let him go.
B
So is he. They let him go.
A
He did not get murder charges.
E
Yes, they let him go because he successfully completed a two year mental health program. Program?
B
Hell, what if he killed somebody else on the road? I mean, okay, it's his own family, but still, how are those. How's that family gonna be towards this man?
A
And how you imagine going up to. Imagine going up to wine country with this guy? Like, let's take the grapevine. Ah, let's take the scenic route. Come on, let's take the one.
B
No, I mean let's.
A
Let's stay. Let's go into cow country there. It's that grapevine. We'll get there 45 minutes. But what about the view? We're good. You know what? They have flights.
B
Terrible. What does that life look like afterwards? Holy shit.
A
I don't. Listen, I. You know, I don't know how I
B
feel bad if I yell at my kids. Man, he drove off a cliff. Oh, yeah, that's cool.
A
He survived because the car's safe. So don't worry about your daughter.
B
And now he's on meds, ultra free.
A
It is out on all platforms. Drake, always good to speak to you.
B
You too, Adam. Thanks for having me.
A
We will take a break. Andrew is going to be next with the news right after this. It's time to check Adam's voicemail. Hey, Adam, this is Carl from Modi. I'll bet I could stump you on a construction question.
F
Question.
A
I'll bet you don't know what GFCI stands for. And if I got you, send me a T shirt. You can leave us a message at 888-634-1744. GF. Ground ground fault interrupter. Is he saying GFCI? GS CI. Oh, I don't know what that is. That's probably an electrical thing. Huh? GS CI. I know what a GFI outlet is. It's a ground fault interruption. It's the ones you have to put around your sink. The ones that pop. They need to be anywhere around. Water can't have a regular outlet. You know that, Andrew.
E
Yeah, of course.
A
But I don't know GF or G. Gfci. Also, I will say this. In the parlance of construction, some things are local. For instance, a regional, we have a king stud. A king stud is the main stud that goes from the floor to the ceiling. But if you put a doorway in it and you're gonna head it out, they have another shorter stud that goes under the header. We would call that a trimmer. They would call that a jack stud, which actually kind of makes sense. You got the king stud, that's the big one, and then the jack one. But we don't call the jack stud.
E
You know what's a great regional fixture in Pennsylvania? The Pittsburgh Potty, which I'm sure you would love.
A
What is that?
E
It's just a open toilet in your basement. Oh.
A
Oh, I have talked to people about that.
E
It's the best.
A
I have talked to people about that. Yes.
F
So that.
A
Just back to that voicemail. He had a shitty connection. But I wanted to try to stump you. I didn't want to try to stump you. I wanted you to get it right. Maybe he did say, because it was a real crappy connection on his phone. So maybe he said gfci, and you know that. Well, yeah, but what I'm looking for, gsci and all I'm finding is that it was formerly the Goldman Sachs commodity index. All right, well, that's what we're talking about. We'll cut bait here. More importantly, in terms of technical prowess, I watched Armageddon with my son last night. Never saw the movie, had no problems with it, except for obviously the part where they're tearing apart the lunar landing drill. Because they do the montage of all the NASA engineers and scientists standing there shamed. And Bruce Willis and his guys come upon it, and there's a whole bunch of stuff. So Hollywood just is super lazy when it comes to anything tactical. Like, they were super lazy. Like, he walks up to it and he goes, you guys built this thing. I had the patent on drilling this thing. By the way, the guy's a roughneck who drills for oil on oil derricks. Why did he have a patent on a mobile drilling thing that could be landed on Mars and drill? Like, it's a weird. He got a patent on this thing.
E
I don't know. That doesn't break the laws.
A
No, no, it's weird that he puts in for a patent on something that you wouldn't use on Earth. But all right, he put a patent in on this thing. And then he goes, let me guess. Didn't work. And they're like. And then he goes, let me guess. You had the cams backward. And they're like, ah, you got us. And it's like, okay, first off, they build the space shuttle. They can build your shit, number one. Number two, you can't look at something and see the cams are backwards. It doesn't really mean anything. It's just a lazy sort of automotive stuff. And they go, you're gonna blow up the transmission. The clutch is going out. The cams are backwards. They're just pulling out shit from a Chilton's guide car manual from the 70s, you know what I mean? It's lazy shit. So then he slides under this thing. We got to rework this whole thing. And then Bruce Willis goes, get rid of all these rubber hoses. Like, first off, NASA uses rubber hoses, like from the Napa or Chief Auto Parts. They wouldn't use a stainless steel braided line. Every hose on every race car I've ever owned, and every aeronautical airplane, whatever, it's always stainless steel braided hose. There is no rubber hoses. Like, NASA would not use rubber hose. Cost is not an issue, but they used a bunch of cheap hoses that could give out in outer space. So he's like, get rid of all these rubber hoses.
E
Yeah.
A
And then they cut to. And then he. He pulls that titanium articulated arm thing out. He goes, what is this, an ice Cream scooper. And he like throws it at him like nobody voices any protest. And then he goes, what's this cost? $400. And he like throws it at him. And I'm like, well, $400 isn't very much for bespoke titanium NASA arm. And then my son goes, Maybe he means 400, like it's cheap. And then I go, no, no, he meant it like it was expensive. But he should have said $4,000. Yeah, but he said $400, which would be the cheapest part on any rocket ever. Ever. Yeah, I, I mean, I get it. It's. It's $1999 or whatever it is, but still, you can't go get a fucking set of rims made for your car for $400. Forget about this titanium spaceship thing. So then there's that. But I don't know the part you went on, the part that infuriated me the most?
E
No, like, yo, it's a great move.
A
All their guys are working on the shuttle now. They're working on. They're tearing shit out. They're pulling wiring harnesses out and, and just throwing it at the engineers that built the thing. And they're all just looking down like, oh, man, we done wrong. We done okay. Then they cut. I love when they make busy technical work for guys. Yeah, that's my favorite part. Like, my favorite part. Just when someone just takes a huge wrench and just sort of leans into a. Under the hood and does something stupid with it. It's not even the right. They got Ben Affleck. Ben Affleck's like, at a workbench, there is a crank from a Datsun four cylinder engine from the 70s. Like, it's a crank. It's just a, it's a car crank. Main crank from a four cylinder engine. And it's up on one end and they chromed it and he's got like a micrometer out and he's measuring something on it. Complete and utter bullshit. Busy work he's not doing. First off, you're not building the engine for the thing. That would be all subbed out. Everything would be parted out. There's a whole different division that builds the engines and stuff. Ben Affleck is not rebuilding the engine there in the hangar. Oh, by the way, we have two days to go before launch. You think he's got the micrometer out, he's gonna rebuild this engine. You got it. By the way, it's a car part. It's just a crank from a car.
E
Yeah, it's gotta Be up to his specs, man. If he's gonna blow up this asteroid.
A
Up to his specs.
E
There's a Gatling gun, too, on the thing on the car that they're gonna explode the asteroid with. Because I was like, why the fuck is there a gun there?
A
Because we need it.
E
Yeah.
A
All right, you got news.
E
So this is out of Philly. Terry Thompson, a sports fan, lost $1.5 million using FanDuel, the online betting app, over the past six years, his entire family's life savings. And now it's come to light that they've been sending him perks packages and, like, DMing him.
A
I don't know.
B
Let's just.
E
We'll watch this video.
A
All right.
D
A personal video message from Bryce Harper arrived on the cell phone of a habitual Sports Bettor in November 2024. Hey, Terry.
C
What's up, brother?
D
Hey, man.
A
Your host, Brittany from FanDuel wanted to make sure your Thanksgiving was extra special.
D
Montgomery county resident named Terry Thompson lost $1.5 million on bets with FanDuel Sportsbook during the last six years. In February, Terry was diagnosed with a gambling addiction. While Thompson gambled away his family's life savings, he allegedly heard often from FanDuel employees. In a recently filed lawsuit, Thompson's attorneys alleged that a FanDuel VIP employee enticed him to place more bets by giving him exclusive rewards like a $500 bottle of champagne and tickets to two Super Bowls. The video from Harper, the face of the Phillies and a two time National League most valuable player, was another reward. In the video, Harper mentions Thompson and his son by name.
B
I just wanted to hop on here
A
and wish you and your family a wonderful Thanksgiving. Tell I said hello. I appreciate all the support through the years.
D
It's hard to miss how commonplace gambling ads have become in professional sports. But this is something different. It's a personal message from an active Major League baseball player. A superstar to a vip, better by definition, has to be wagering large sums of money off. We shared the video of Harper with his agent, Scott Boris, and with the Phillies and Major League Baseball. Neither Boris nor The Phillies nor MLB would comment. We don't know if FanDuel paid Harper for the video or if he's recorded others for other VIP veterans.
A
I'm gonna go with yes.
D
When I saw the video, I was surprised, but I decided to reach out to some experts to see if it was actually unprecedented or problematic. Jody Balsam was a longtime attorney.
A
Hold on. What's problematic mean? We use problematic too much. Me getting chicken on my enchiladas, I find problematic. What are we gonna do about it?
E
Well, it's.
A
Everything's problematic. Fucking gas. Six bucks a gallon. I find that problematic. I find so many things problematic. All right, here we go.
D
But I decided to reach out to some experts to see if it was actually unprecedented or problematic. Jody Balsam was a longtime attorney for the NFL who oversaw league policy.
B
The core question, does having a Major League Baseball player reach out to a high roller better in this way undermine the integrity messaging that Major League Baseball is trying to project? Does it create the appearance that players are encouraging wagering on games that they influence?
D
I asked her if she thought Bryce Harper's video violated Major League Baseball's policy on sports betting.
B
It doesn't seem to violate the letter of that law. But I think a more important question is, does it violate the spirit of that law, even if no existing rule expressly prohibits a Major league player from doing what Bryce Harper did in that video?
A
All right, pause it for a second, Andrew. I'm going on the record right now. If Bryce Harper reaches out to me to do a cameo, the answer is no, bro. How about that? Okay. Yeah. Cause that's how I roll.
E
Nice.
A
Nice, nice.
E
Not problematic at all.
A
Look, Bryce Harper, a has to have done dozens of these things, because that's just the way it works. You do one, you do a bunch. It's like a prostitute that's only been with one guy once. You know what I mean? It's impossible. All right, so he has to have done more than one. FanDuel has some relationship with him because he's not doing him a favor. So in some way or form, he's being compensated.
E
Maybe they feel bad for the guy. It's like a Vegas thing. Like, we'll comp your next meal sort of thing. I mean.
A
Yeah, I mean, they do this. They give the high rollers the sweets. I mean, like, listen, Howard Hughes was taking up the whole penthouse of the Vegas Hilton or whatever, and they basically said to him, you got to move out because we got high rollers coming in for gambling season, and we put them up in those suites, you know?
E
Yeah.
A
Now, Howard Hughes didn't have a gambling problem, so he just bought five hotels nearby. Just moved. Moved over there.
E
Well, from what I understand, his family is, I think, trying to figure out if there is a lawsuit, if it's like they're egging him on or targeting.
A
There's a lawsuit for everybody, every time, everywhere, all the time. Now.
E
Yeah.
A
There's always a lawsuit to be had. If you. So, you know, it's a little weird. I was talking about this, actually, with my son. He just goes, look, gambling's everywhere all the time now. It's ubiquitous. And he goes, so is fast food. It's up to you to not get fat. Essentially, which I agree with. But on the other hand, if I had had, you know, guys calling me at home or sending video messages for me to head to Chick Fil A,
E
like, you know, adam, come on down, man. We really miss you, dude.
A
Let's just say Ben Affleck, like, just sent me a personal message like, hey, man, you love Chick Fil A, don't you, bro? I just wanted to thank you. And then he said, oh, and say hi to Sonny. I'll be like, damn. I should. I could at least go down and get one. Let's get some fries. I don't want to disappoint the man. Yeah. So, I mean, this is. Look, they're running a business, and their business is people gambling. And big drug companies ran a business, and those are pain meds. And they want to get people strung out on pain meds so they can move a lot of units, like, wake up everybody. That's how all this works. All the drug companies just wanted you to get a vaccination that you didn't need because they made trillions of dollars get it. Yeah, we got it, right?
E
Yeah.
A
The business wants to make money. Yeah. You do this all the time. Like, this is the biggest mistake everyone on the left makes. They want business to have a heart or a soul. It wants to make money. That's all it does. It's not good. It's not bad. It just wants money. Why?
E
You're like, cherry Pepsi doesn't ask for permission.
A
No. Cherry Pepsi's a rapist.
E
It's gonna go.
A
That's right.
F
Right.
B
Yeah.
E
No, I guess Pete Rose not in the hall of Fame, Chuck.
A
They're thinking about posthumously putting him. They're talking about getting him in posthumously. I don't care what Pete Rose did. He should be in the hall of Fame number one.
E
But, I mean, I'm saying that's crazy when that's happening nowadays. And I don't know what the fuck he did. He better on his own team. This is crazy.
A
Oh, there's a. My son was telling me about a college quarterback who was betting on his own team, who's blah, blah, blah, getting into trouble with NCAA and everything.
E
Oh, there you go.
A
And then I said, shades of Arch Leester, and he didn't know what the fuck I was talking about. Because nobody knows what I'm talking about.
E
Archleester. I don't know.
A
Deep cut reference. Art Schleester. Oh, what? You don't know, Chuck, Nobody in this building knows Arch Leester. Not me, because he was an NFL quarterback. I think he was at Ohio State, but he was one of those schools, had a gambling problem and kind of gambled himself out of the league and other addiction problems. But he was a first rounder or you know, somewhere in the first round, Arch Leester had a. He was a. You know, he was a real quarterback who got drafted in the NFL. I, I don't. I think he was a first round drafter. I don't know if he's the first guy drafted in the. In the draft but had had a gambling addiction and gambled himself sort of out of the. Out of the league, ended up going to prison and stuff like that. Yeah, he was arrested three times. Ohio. So he went to Ohio State. He has a massive gambling debts while playing for the Detroit Drive.
F
What.
A
What is that? Oh, arena team. Where did he. And he was first round guy, I think big time. Maybe even a Rose bowl type guy. Arch Schleester.
E
Art Schleaster.
A
And then gambled himself and out of a.
E
Damn.
A
So there you go.
E
There you go.
A
All right, what else you got?
E
All right, this out of Argentina. A flight instructor jumps to his death mid lesson, leaving the student to land the plane by herself. Then she did.
A
That sounds super passive aggressive. I mean, is he mad at her or just suicidal?
E
It was just suicidal.
A
But that's the kind of thing you do if you were. If he was in love with the student and it was unrequited. That's the kind of a move you do.
E
But you figure this out on your own. Not just a poor paying customer. This is the guy. Leandro Andres Bertazzo.
A
Right. Jumped out of the. But this is a small. See, I saw this online. It's a picture of him in a pilot's outfit sitting in a commercial airliner. Like he didn't do this in a commercial airliner. He does a little prop plane.
E
Yeah, a Cessna 150G.
A
What? He seems young and good looking. He's a pilot. Like what something Unrequited love. Guys killed themselves who are in love with people who don't love them back.
E
He had been suffering mentally and checked himself into a clinic recently, unbeknownst to anyone but his close relatives.
A
Man, that's weird.
E
Now she, she landed the plane successfully. That's like. I don't know. Did your dad ever say you got to learn to swim, throw you in the pool?
A
Yeah, except for when they're at a pool. So there was no pool. Corollas had no pool. We didn't have above ground, below ground, mid ground with no no pools would be, you got to think about Corollas. No pools, no dogs, no basketball hoops. All those things take work and bring joy. So remember, the rule is if it plugged in or brought joy, you don't have to ask. It was gone, not found in the Corolla house, probably in the Schleester house. All right, go to mcroll.com for all the live shows and when. Thank Dre D. Mateo for coming in Ultra Freeze, the name of her podcast. Until next time, this is Adam for Dre and Andrew saying, Mahala, pick up your phone and leave us a voicemail at 888-634-1744 and then get tickets to see Adam Corolla at AdamCola.com.
