Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Media Narratives and “The View”

• Carolla’s Life-long Beef with The View

  • Adam asserts The View’s audience and hosts misunderstand—and often misrepresent—public figures like Charlie Kirk, Joe Rogan, and Elon Musk:
    • “The ladies from The View have a version of Charlie Kirk that doesn't exist. They've never heard 10 seconds of Charlie Kirk or Joe Rogan or Elon Musk.” (00:00)
  • He further criticizes both the format and audience of The View, claiming their fans are, in his words, “unemployable” women.
    • “The View's audience are a bunch of women who are unemployable. That's why they're there every day at 11 in the morning instead of at work or doing anything productive.” (00:16, 12:47)

• Accusations of Hypocrisy and Race Hustling

  • According to Carolla, The View and similar media outlets perpetuate manufactured outrage, particularly around race:
    • “They will shove race into every story and then mostly get on the wrong side of it...their heroes are felons, basically. Like junkie felons. That's who the Left’s here. (18:49)

• Media Echo Chambers

  • Both Kelly and Carolla agree that most mainstream commentators operate in echo chambers, rarely seeking out original sources or alternative viewpoints.

2. Cancel Culture, “Cancellable” Figures, and Money

• On Being “Uncancellable”

  • The conversation touches on how certain figures (Musk, Trump) transcend attempts at cancellation, often growing emboldened by controversy.

    • “If you're going to try to destroy Elon Musk, he will become a martyr to a lot of people and become more popular. The same with Trump.” (03:52)

  • Adam distinguishes between different levels of financial independence:

    • “People used to think having a lot of money, you had ‘fuck you money.’ ...But then there's ‘fuck me money’...I'm buying Twitter...because you hate what they're doing with Twitter.” (05:26)

3. Social Media, Misinformation, and Radicalization

• Social Media’s Influence on Young People

  • Discussion of how relentless exposure to social media and certain political narratives shapes—and sometimes radicalizes—youth:

    • “The guy who shot Charlie Kirk...it's a decade of him hearing this stuff. Like since from age 10 or 11 he's been spoon fed this bullshit and now he's old enough to fire a gun.” (09:20)

  • Kelly brings up neuroscience, noting influenced brain development extends into the late 20s. (09:13)

4. Gender, Emotional Thinking, and Leadership

• “Chick Think” and “Gyno Fascism”

  • Carolla’s provocative characterization of female-led governance as irrational and emotionally driven:
    • “There's a lot of what I like to call gyno fascism going on...They're super susceptible to emotional thinking....they run the city like dumb chicks would run a city.” (19:44, 21:35)
    • He cites examples like the Oakland mayor’s response to “nooses” in a park—later debunked as exercise equipment by a Black resident (21:44).

• Gendered Communication Styles

  • Carolla speculates on body language and cross-legged sitting as signals of “chick think”—lumping certain male politicians (Newsom, Obama) with this tendency.
    • “Watch Gavin Newsom cross his legs. Watch Barack Obama. Watch any pussy on the left cross their legs. They go so hard now they're signaling....Trump is a dude. He thinks like a dude.” (23:57)

• Nuance in Gender Critique

  • Carolla clarifies that “chick think” isn’t exclusive to women; some men behave similarly, and some women (e.g., Megyn Kelly) embody more “dude” traits in thinking.

5. California’s Downfall and Business Climate

• California’s Decline

  • Carolla’s assessment is dire:
    • “California… toward the bottom three [states to live in]. If it wasn't number one, it was kind of the people's champ for all those years. And now it's basically hit the bottom.” (29:39-30:39)
  • He blames regulation, governance, and social policies for driving out both individuals and businesses.

• Businesses Fleeing and Insurance Issues

  • Adam points to insurance companies refusing coverage and major corporations leaving California as evidence of the hostile climate for business and residents. (28:15)

  • “The View's audience are a bunch of dumb women who are unemployable. That's why they're there every day at 11 in the morning instead of at work or doing anything productive. So you need a bunch of dumb women. Otherwise you could never pull that off.” (12:47)

• On Cancel Culture’s Backfire

  • “If you're going to try to destroy Elon Musk, he will become a martyr to a lot of people and become more popular. The same with Trump.” (03:52)

Transcript

[A]

The ladies from the View have a version of Charlie Kirk that doesn't exist. And they've never heard 10 seconds of Charlie Kirk or Joe Rogan or Elon Musk. They don't even know what these guys talk about. So they have a fairytale version of those guys. The View's audience are a bunch of women who are unemployable. That's why they're there every day at 11 in the morning instead of at work or doing anything productive. They're all just. And thieves. And then they become folk heroes to these guys.

[B]

Yes.

[A]

Then they want to go to tear down the Christopher Columbus statue. So they hate Christopher Columbus. They love George Floyd.

[B]

Okay, guys, here with Adam. Spoke at the event. Last one of the day. How'd your day go? Did you speak yet?

[A]

Not yet. I just got in. I'm going up right after this.

[B]

What are you going to talk about?

[A]

I don't know. I'm interviewing Nick Shirley.

[B]

Oh, that's going to be interesting.

[A]

I think.

[B]

So do you have any questions prepared? Are you going to wing it?

[A]

You know, you bring up a good point. I should probably cut this interview short, put together some questions for Nick Shirley. I was just going to wing it, but I probably have a. I should probably write down a couple of questions.

[B]

Every host has their style. I noticed some hosts don't come with anything. I am a nerd and I come with about a sheet of.

[A]

You know, I think the. I think the best way to do it is to do a hybrid of both. You should have some stuff you want to talk about, and you can preload some stuff and then be conversational after that. Otherwise, you get too caught up and into the next question. I explore things, but a couple of thoughts, a couple of. You know, sometimes it's just stuff, like, you were born in Flint, Michigan. That's where I'm from. Or some. Some. There is some stuff. Stuff you don't want to forget sometimes. But you got a lot of papers there.

[B]

Well, I've done 20 interviews this week. It's a lot.

[A]

Oh, that's not just for me.

[B]

Yeah. All right. Yeah. Oh, you were probably like, what the hell is this kid doing?

[A]

That's what I thought.

[B]

Well, you're in Cali. I know. Nick. They did Nick Shirley dirty over there, man. To stop Nick Shirley act.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

That ended up passing, right?

[A]

Oh, yeah. They hate people who uncover fraud.

[B]

Crazy.

[A]

They get angry at the people who point things out versus the people that are involved with the illegal activity. So if. If Elon Musk wants to form Doge and go after corruption. Then they burn Tesla dealerships.

[B]

Yeah, they hated that.

[A]

Yeah, they hate when people do stuff. I. They. What they really hate is kind of truth. And the problem with the Nick Shirley and the Elon and whoever's uncovering whatever, whatever arena it is, it's kind of the truth. So they don't really want. They don't like test scores and they don't like competition, and they don't want anything that reveals them or being ineffective.

[B]

Yeah, Shout out to Elon, though. Even though they went after him and Doge. Man's a trillionaire now. Came out on top.

[A]

Yeah, I know. I. Listen, God. God bless that guy.

[B]

I don't know how he pulled that off. After all the shitty. God, all the cancellations, Tesla is being burned.

[A]

Well, I think we're starting to learn that the truth prevails. But also, I don't know, it's that kind of look at. Call it like maybe the Barbra Streisand effect or something, where she gets out there and starts telling everyone she doesn't want people flying over her Malibu home when she's getting married and all of a sudden does that to have a lot of extra air traffic.

[B]

Yeah, Taylor Swift just did that in New York City.

[A]

Right. So, I mean, I think sometimes people do it on purpose and they. It goes the other way and then sometimes it's. It's sort of incidental or, or not volitional. But if you're going to try to destroy Elon Musk, he will become a martyr to a lot of people and become more popular. The same with Trump.

[B]

So I think there's certain people that are, quote, unquote, uncancellable, like they could do almost anything.

[A]

Well, I mean, it helps to have a trillion dollar.

[B]

That helps.

[A]

Yes, that's helped.

[B]

I think money helps in general for stuff like that.

[A]

Well, what money does is I, I used to say this all the time. People used to think having a lot of money, you know, we had a lot of money, you had fuck you money. And fuck you money is kind of like, oh, you're going to try to extort me or sue me. Well, you know what? I'm going to court, you know, and then people kind of say like, well,

[C]

hey, guys, you know, I don't do promos for just anybody. The only reason I'm talking about Legends right now is because they completely flipped the script. Look, the reason I know it's different is because I actually met the team in person in Las Vegas. I trust these guys. And how they run the site changes everything. Legends is a premium US Sweepstakes casino. It's free to play, and when you win, they feature lightning fast Redemptions. They have a massive game variety. Hundreds of premium slots, sports, and live tables. You can play entirely for free. Stop dealing with platforms that lock up your funds. Hit my link right now and go see why Legends has earned its name.

[B]

Hit the link below.

[A]

Isn't it, you know, it's going to cost you more to get a lawyer and go to court. And they go, I got you money. I don't care. I hate this guy. I'm doing this. But. But then there's me money. And me money is, I'm buying Twitter. And then people are going, what? And I'm going to pay twice what it's worth, and then I'll have Twitter. And people go, that's a horrible business decision. I go, I know, but that's. That's. That's fuck me money.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And then why bother being a billionaire at the time if you can't just buy Twitter? Because you hate what they're doing with Twitter.

[B]

So what do you think about Twitter now? It's pretty crazy on there.

[A]

You know, it's weird. I. I always hear a lot about that, and I'm on Twitter all the time and I.

[B]

You all see any of the wild stuff on there?

[A]

I see some wild stuff, but not really. It doesn't feel dangerous to me or something. I mean, maybe if I was 26 and a little more impressionable, that makes sense, but it doesn't. I. I'm not. I don't feel like, you know, it's kind of like when I go, you know those guys who listen to Joe Rogan? I'm like, I know Joe Rogan. I. I've heard Joe Rogan. I've done Joe Rogan. I don't. I don't hear. I don't know what you guys are talking about. I mean, you have. The ladies from the View have a version of Charlie Kirk that doesn't exist, and they've never heard 10 seconds of Charlie Kirk or Joe Rogan or Elon. They don't even know what these guys talk about. So they have a fairy tale version of those guys, and then they think those guys are weaponizing like, young men, but they've never taken 10 minutes and even listen to anything they've ever said.

[B]

Agreed. Echo Chambers. You been following the Charlie Kirk case?

[A]

Yeah, a little bit.

[B]

Three days in now. Nothing too crazy has seemed to come out of it yet. But.

[A]

No, I mean, it seems like what it was, you know, But I mean, I think what people who are on the left are constantly churning all this stuff. He's like, I'm going to end hate. Like, you know, so some hate, whatever his quote was. But basically sometimes you can't reason with it. You gotta just put it down, you know?

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And then the guy who started the Malibu fires and the Palisades fires, he was like basically tired of being enslaved by the rich man. And the rich man lives in the Palisades. And I don't want to be a slave to the rich man. Meaning, listen, when you're Ro Khanna or your Adam Schiff or you're any, you know, Nancy Pelosi or any of the witches on the View, you guys are old and rich and you're just talking. You don't believe any of it. You go to cocktail pliers, but there's a bunch of 23 year old dudes who do listen and do believe and all your king and oligarchy and, and dictator and you know, eat the rich. You guys don't believe any of that. You are rich and you hang out with rich people in Napa, but somewhere there's a 22 year old who's going to start a fire or pick up a gun and then they go, I never told anyone to shoot anybody. I know. They're all motivated because they believe the shit you don't believe when you're saying it. That's right. That's sort of the comedy. None of them believe it, but the young dumb dudes believe it who are on God knows, you know what pharmaceuticals, and they act on it because they think they're doing the right thing, because they think this guy's a dictator who's going to enslave people of color or something. Yeah. Then you would be a hero if you shot that guy.

[B]

Yep. I mean, they've done studies. The brain's still developing till it'll fact check me. But 26 now. 26, 28.

[A]

Yeah. So young dudes taking matters into their own hands. And also people, you know, these guys are borderline dudes and they've. It's been 10 years, you know, like, like I'm old. But I mean, the reality is, is the guy shot Charlie Kirk. I don't know, 21, 22, whatever. It's a decade of him hearing this stuff. Like since from age 10 or 11 he's been spoon fed this bullshit and now he's old enough to fire a gun.

[B]

Yeah, yeah, it says 32. Actually. The brain's still developing. Wow. Yeah. And you're growing up on social media just scrolling hours a day. You're being influenced by whatever you're scrolling and seeing. Yeah, I mean, it adds up, right?

[A]

Well, look, people that are religious, Muslim, Jew, Christian, that they're not born that way, they just grow up in that environment and then they pray to Allah or Jehovah or whatever, whatever it is. I'm an atheist because I just grew up with. If I grew up in Utah, then

[B]

maybe you'd be Mormon.

[A]

Maybe I'd be Mormon. I don't. Well, how would that happen? It's like. Well, because that's what's around me and that's what I'm hearing and that's what I'm imbibing. So yeah, if you take it in, you know, Trump's first term till now, I mean, we're talking about a decade and then whatever leading up into that term. So any young 20 something year old assassin has had their entire adolescence and adult life filled with bullshit from the View or Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama, who doesn't believe it themselves because they're too busy being rich and buying houses.

[B]

You're not the biggest fan of the View. It sounds like.

[A]

Well, first things first, there is no. There, there can be no such thing as a male version of the View. Like really stupid, unfunny guys lie all day to dumb people. Like, that show would never make it to season. Wouldn't make it past the first season. Well, they say like sort of patently insane things, but they also all just clearly hate the country, you know, and then they make Jacob and they're just kind of race hustle. If they listen you, you go like, okay, Jon Stewart. Okay, all right, all right. I probably disagree with a lot of what Jon Stewart says. Or maybe I disagree with a lot. Although less and less of like what Bill Maher says. Yeah, but they're skilled. They make a joke, they make a point and they're, they, they, they do their job with some level of precision.

[B]

Right?

[A]

The View, they just blather along, talk about nothing. I mean, Whoopi Goldberg can barely string a sentence together. So there's plenty of people and comedians and talk show folks that are way left of center, that are very skilled getting a point across. I'm not, I don't bag on the View because they're left wing media. I bag on the View because they're so lazy and clumsy and dopey and unfunny. Right?

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And there would be, there's no such thing as a You know, John Oliver or Jon Stewart or whatever version of the View because they just kick them out because they need dumb, dumb people. Well, the viewing, the views audience are a bunch of dumb women who are unemployable. That's why they're there every day at 11 in the morning instead of work or doing anything productive. So you need a bunch of dumb women. Otherwise you could never pull that off.

[B]

Yeah, there's an audience for that. Yeah, I've seen clips from that show. I've never seen it in its entirety because it's just too.

[A]

I've been on it.

[B]

Oh, you've been on it. Okay. Well, about what?

[A]

That was like that. I mean, that was. That was probably 15 years ago before the View became the View.

[B]

Yeah. Well, Vance just went on it. I wonder how that went.

[A]

It's usually. What it is is they usually own all the women on the View because they have the truth and they have statistics and data and stuff like that. That's you. But then it's always four or five cackling women in between the one guys try to speak sense to them. So it's always kind of interesting dynamic.

[B]

I wonder if they actually. You said they don't really believe what they're saying. Like, I wonder how common that is in general with media. Political. Political media.

[A]

I believe. See, they believe certain things, but not other things. Like, so they don't think that. They don't think that Trump is a dangerous dictator. They don't believe that. But they do believe that cops kill 10,000 unarmed black men in every. Every year for sport. You know their numbers. You know, like, if you looked at Covid anything, they would believe most of the lies of COVID Yeah. And they believe most anything racial.

[B]

Even still with COVID there's so much data on. And that's crazy in data.

[A]

And they, they would. They do think like ICE is going around and rounding up innocent people and disappearing them and gulags and stuff like that. They, they do kind of think that they also repeat the same stuff so often that they, they, they what? They get into some sort of. You get into some sort of netherworld of truth versus lie. When you just keep repeating something almost becomes like a religion. Yeah.

[B]

You start believing it.

[A]

Yeah. Like, is God really. Does he have a plan for you? I know he does. Like, is. You have any proof of. I know. I know I have a relationship with know. It's like they, you just. You just keep repeating something over and over. I mean, it's like there's people that are Are getting trolled or gaslit or whatever they call it dating, you know, catfished. Catfished. There's people have been catfished for three years. You know what I mean? They never meet the person. They believe it, man.

[B]

Just happened to Matt Barnes actually, right? He sent the girl like $80,000 was an AI girl that looked really attractive. That's right, $80,000.

[A]

Well, they can keep that stuff going for a long time.

[B]

So especially these days you could just create a fake AI video.

[A]

So what is, what are the ladies from the View believe? Somewhere between Matt Barnes and Jehovah and what? You know, they think their dog thinks it's a person. You know, I mean the, it's kind of dumb, but it's also murky. Like they don't really know what they.

[B]

Yeah, you don't take it serious. How do you keep your views kind of like, do you doom scroll? Do you kind of try to stay objective? Like, do you have an echo chamber you'd say you're in right now?

[A]

I'm, I, I look into motivation with everything. I try to kind of figure out what, what, what people want, why they would do it. Things I don't really trust, things that are unmotivated also. Like, you know, somebody says this guy came out and started screaming at me and then someone, I'll go, why would he do that? Because he's an asshole. I'll go, yeah, I know, but why would he come out and start, okay, maybe I parked in his driveway, you know, it's like, okay, well now we have some motivation, right, for what this guy did. Also there's a lot of news. Like there was a story like, I don't know, four or five years ago that some like Catholic high school kids went to Hawaii and got in the water and like harassed these dolphins, like chased down these dolphins and like corralled these stuff. Dolphins. And I'm like, people swim three miles an hour and dolphins swim 40 miles an hour. So.

[B]

But I don't buy that doesn't make sense.

[A]

These 17 year olds jumped in the ocean and ran, swam up to the dolphins and were bothering the, the dolphin could just go away. The dolphin wants to go away. Two flips of the tail, the dolphin's 100ft away.

[B]

So that's how I don't believe you. The media too. I'm like, why is this story viral like right now? That black person that disappeared on the, the cruise ship or whatever, the party boat, why is that viral right now? It seems like they want certain stories out there to divide people. You know.

[A]

Oh, yeah, yeah. They're. They're total race hustlers. Total 100%. Right. I mean, they take. They turn Kyle Rittenhouse into a race story. It was like one white guy with three other white guys, and somehow he's a white supremacist. Ladies from the View said he's a white supremacist.

[B]

Not surprising.

[A]

They. They will weave race into just about and. And sometimes misogyny into just about any story they can.

[B]

I mean, Carmelo Anthony was another big one.

[A]

Yes.

[B]

That one's been everywhere.

[A]

Yeah, they. They will shove race into every story and then mostly get on the wrong side of it. Like, side with the killer, side with a junkie career criminal. I mean, they're. They're heroes are felons, basically. Like junkie felons. That's. That's who the lefts here. Or Michael Avenatti. They love Michael Aviati. He was a good dude. Right. He's in jail. Hands up, don't shoot. You know, all this Michael Brown stuff. Like, they're all just killers and thieves. And then they become folk heroes to these guys.

[B]

Yes.

[A]

And then, then they want to go to tear down the Christopher Columbus statue. So they hate Christopher Columbus. And then they love George Floyd. So to me, it's like, how do

[B]

people still fall for this, though? It's like, is this going to continue to work, you think?

[A]

I think a lot of it is what I call chick think. There's. Women are super susceptible to this shit, and there's a lot of them in government, there's a lot of media. They're all over the place now, and they didn't used to be all over the place, but they're kind of vulnerable to this sort of thinking. Like nonlinear, non logical or emotional emotional thinking. They're definitely vulnerable to it. And if you think about, like, a lot of these cities, there's a lot of what I like to call gyno fascism going on. Like, I live in Los Angeles, we have a female mayor, and most of the city council are female, and they run. They run the city like dumb chicks would run a city. And it's into the ground, by the way, because it's not good for running cities. But what's going on now is you're seeing lots of women in newsrooms, lots of women, you know, in politics, lots of women in positions of power, and they're super susceptible to emotional thinking. Like the female mayor of Oakland about four or five years ago, if you want to talk about Race us All right, the female mayor of Oakland. Somebody reported to her that in the park somebody had hung loops, hoops, rope hoops from the tree. And she immediately had a press conference announcing that this was a hate crime. Then the guy who was a black man, said, I put the hoops up because I use them for exercise. In the park. It was just like a succession of rope hoops. By the way, everything in a circle's not a noose. You know what I mean? Like a halo's not a noose. I could clarify tards, but everything's a noose to them. Any pole and a garage pull, you know, rope, anything for door. Everything's a noose to them, right? So I mean, when you're a race hustler, everything's a news, right? So this guy gets up there, they have a whole press conference, and you, you can look it up. It's pretty funny. And he goes, hey, and I put the hoops up. I use them. So it's not anything to do with white supremacy.

[B]

It actually confirmed what you're saying.

[A]

And then she the. The mayor. Yeah, Dumbo Chick, mayor of Oakland, got up and said, this ain't over. I'm getting the FBI involved. We're gonna investigate this for a hate crime. And some normal reporter in the crowd. Meanwhile, Oakland has completely fallen apart. The only in and out franchise that's ever moved moved out of Oakland.

[B]

Wow. And you lost the A's, too.

[A]

You lost the A's. Oakland, his hit rock bottom. And she's worried about the hoops in the tree, Right? And she's going to get the FBI to investigate a hate crime. And then a reporter said to her, hey, I think we have a context here, because the guy who put the hoops up is black. And he says he put it up for exercise. And she said, I don't care about the context. I'm calling it a hate crime. So if you have that kind of semi retarded thinking, and women are more subject to that kind of thinking, then you're going. And then you spread that out over Oakland, San Francisco, Louisiana. You spread it out wide, you're going to get a lot more of this. We're calling the FBI. We're going to waste a whole bunch of resources so I can make my feelings. I have a feeling, and I'm going to do something with my feelings.

[B]

It's awful.

[A]

Yes.

[B]

So you don't want as many women in political leadership positions.

[A]

Well, I would take Margaret Thatcher or a couple. No, no. So here's the thing. Gavin Newsom suffers from chick think too That's a. Watch him cross his legs 100%.

[B]

You don't trust a man that crosses his legs.

[A]

Listen, watch Barack Obama and Gavin. Watch Gavin Newsom cross his legs. Watch Barack Obama. Watch any pussy on the left cross their legs. They go so hard now they're signaling. It's a signal, essentially. Is it? Yeah. You see how Trump sits? He spreads his knees and he makes a spread with his thumb and forefinger. So he puts it over his crotch. He like literally says, focus on the groin.

[B]

Interesting.

[A]

Yeah, you, you'll see a pattern. And by the way, the guys who interview them from the New York Times watch their super deep leg cross, too, because they're like, friendly.

[B]

It is feminine.

[A]

It's friendly. I'm friendly to you. What? I'm going to cross my leg. And then you'll go, this is a safe space for you to lie about your failing policy, so I won't ask any real questions. In general, women think that way more than men. But there are many men that are feminized as well, especially these days. These days. Such as Gavin Newsom. Now, Trump is a dude. He thinks like a dude. He's like a builder. You know, the sort of Pete Hagseth guys that's just all dude think. And then there's your sort of anomalies, like Megyn Kelly, like, she's, she's, she's all dude. Yeah, she thinks exactly like a dude. And so there may be an equal number of women that think like dudes and dudes that think like women. But overall, the more women you get into the city council, then you're going to have an emphasis on safety. So if you're in Los Angeles, you have a female. Yeah, City council, the health director's female. And then you go, well, Covid's here. What should we do then? The answer is shut the schools. And then the answer is, well, how long should we keep the school shut for as long as it takes, because everyone needs to be safe all the time. So now you have safety Uber hours, which is a. More of a feminine thought. You know, you. You got a husband, you got a wife. 10 year old son wants a dirt bike. Husband goes, all right, let's get him a dirt. My mom's like, whoa, whoa, whoa, he's going to hurt himself. You know, it's. That's the feminine thought. The dad says, let him. Let him get his knee. You know, so if you infuse enough of that, then you're going to get a different kind of governance. And that's why all the chick think cities got their ass kicked by Covid because they had just a bunch of crazy women running them. And then Gavin Newsom. But thinks like it yet and somehow

[B]

two chicks got more votes than Spencer Pratt. How is that possible?

[A]

That's chick think boy. That is chick think. Right?

[B]

Newsom's being investigated right now. You think they'll find anything?

[A]

You know, the list of folks that have been investigated are getting investigated, should be investigated. It's pretty endless. It really. It probably starts at Obama. It goes down to Biden, it goes down to Foushee. It just keeps going and going and going and they never.

[B]

It. I think it ends up being a blackmail thing. Right. Even if they find something, they're going to just use it against them.

[A]

Never. Nothing ever comes out the other.

[B]

Right. But it'd be nice. It'd be nice. But nothing happened with the files. Right. So can't get our hopes up.

[A]

No, no, no. But it's nice to see him hassled and his wife such a piece of shit.

[B]

I haven't met her.

[A]

But you've had. She's worse than. She's worse than he is.

[B]

Really?

[A]

She's kookier.

[B]

Holy crap.

[A]

Oh, yeah.

[B]

You think she's a handler or you think she's just genuinely crazy?

[A]

I. I don't know. But she's legitimately nuttier. Well, he's. He's sort of captured and has a lot of fun. He's a sociopath, but he's not dumb. She's kind of a sociopath and. Oh, that's a. That's like a bad one right there.

[B]

I'm sure that's common in la, though.

[A]

Oh, yeah. Everyone in hell. I don't know.

[B]

How you doing, man? Props to you for being out there, especially after the fires, how they did a lot of you guys after that.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

I mean, that was a night challenge. I mean, you had no money out of it. Right? None of the homeowners got repaid?

[A]

No. I mean, they got to deal with their insurance, I guess, but it's a. It's a show.

[B]

Yeah, but a lot of the insurance companies didn't pay out.

[A]

Yeah, it's. It's. It's not a good situation for a lot of insurance companies don't want to insure because they won't maintain the brush and the fire. And the fire. I mean, why would you insure somebody against a fire if that municipality is not protecting the homes from fires? Right. Which is everyone gets mad at the insurance companies, but the insurance companies would like to do business LA is not. California's not a hospitable place to do business. You know, it's like people get angry at Chevron or oil refineries. You know, they get angry. Why does gas cost so much? It's like they would like to do business. California does not make it pleasant for them to do business. Nobody wanted to move, you know, Nissan, Toyota, like, it's Tesla. It's a big pain in the ass to move, whether it's an individual or it's a large company, you know, I mean, most of people who live and work and what have you in California. Joe Rogan would have liked to stay in California, but they went nuts.

[B]

Yep.

[A]

So he moved.

[B]

Where would you rank California right now, places to live in America? What state? Out of all the states it just

[A]

came in the other day, toward the bottom three.

[B]

Really?

[A]

Yeah, they just did a thing. I think it was Louisiana. New Mexico and California are the lowest. Wow.

[B]

Because it used to be number one.

[A]

Right. And number one, best state to live in. Oh. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it was.

[B]

Yeah. Yeah, you're right. Bottom three now in 2026, report consumer affairs.

[A]

Yeah. I don't know how far back it was number one, and I don't know if it was number one. It was. It was number three. You know, I'll put it to you this way. It was perpetually in the top five, but. But people don't want to live in Maine, you know, like. Like they wanted. Like, it was like, oh, maybe Maine has a better tax code or something, but people are like, man, I want to go surfing, you know? So it was. If it wasn't number one, it was kind of the people's champ for sure, you know, for all those years. And now it's basically, wow, hit the bottom.

[B]

Wallet Hub has it the worst state right now to live in. There you go. How much longer are you going to be there, you think?

[A]

I may never leave this convention center. I may just.

[B]

It's hard to be Vegas.

[A]

I may bivouac right here.

[C]

It's hard to be.

[A]

I got land here, and I'm actually looking to build nice. Yeah.

[B]

I mean, no state tax. Got good food.

[A]

Yeah, good food. No state tax.

[B]

Pretty good for a podcast, too, because everyone's always here.

[A]

Oh, that's a good point.

[B]

Yeah. Not that you need more guests. You got 17 years of guests.

[A]

I do get a lot of guests, but I know it's a good play. I mean, look, if you move, do you do a podcast? Yeah, you do have to kind of be cognizant. Of like, who's. You know, if you move to the aforementioned New Mexico, you might not get as many guests as if you move to Nashville.

[B]

It must. Tucker. Go to Maine and. Yeah, but you got to be at a certain level.

[A]

Yeah. Yeah. You gotta. Yeah, you gotta be flying people in.

[B]

Yeah. What's the main focus for you now these days?

[A]

I'm doing a lot of stand up and I'm. I'm speaking with a lot of women's rights advocates.

[B]

For real?

[A]

Nah, man. Okay. They hate me. Could you imagine? I'm knitting a lot of pink hats. I'm. I'm doing a lot of performing. I'm doing a lot of stand up or I'm starting to get work on another book and make some documentaries and do some podcasts and always doing some home. Always building something kind of home improvement stuff.

[B]

Stacking up cars still.

[A]

Oh, yeah.

[B]

Doing something. A car collection.

[A]

Got some car. I got a race. Some coming up. I got. Yeah, I'm, I'm. I'm more. I'm. I got a. My big weekend is Laguna Seca, Pebble Beach, Monterey car weekend, which is coming up in about four or five weeks. So I'm getting a car ready to race.

[B]

The Wynn car show. The Concourse. Oh, the win.

[A]

[B]

That was a good one.

[A]

Yeah. That's pretty cool, man.

[B]

I felt broke as at that because there was a whole Bugatti section. Yeah. Car was like 5 million. There's levels to this.

[A]

Yeah. There. If you go down to pebble beach, you'll feel super broke. You'll. You'll feel mega broke.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Yeah. If you go to the track, you can feel pretty broke too. I mean, they got some pretty expensive cars at the track and then there's the auctions and. But for me, it's just the big car weekend hang out with all the car dudes rate. You know, do. Do do my racing and you know, it's. It's kind of. Kind of the coolest thing I. Nice.
