Greg
up our society by weaponizing women. Believe all women. Like, that's the most insane thing I've ever heard of in my life. I've never really known a woman that I would even call accurate.
Adam Carolla
For a long time, I felt the amount of racism that was spewed and it was racism that was spewed on the average white guy was just as bad as racism that was thrown towards us in the late 60s. I mean, it was just fashionable. I grew up in California. I lived, moved all over, everywhere from Sunland to Hunga to Venice to Carson. And I just remember growing up, especially when I lived in Sunland, Tuhunga, that Burbank area. It was so wide open. I think I spent my entire summer with a brown bag lunch on my bike down at the wash. I mean, it just felt like we were just always outside, always in a nice adventure. It was like you rode around. I mean, we had weirdos, you know, but you just didn't have a lot of the communities. Everybody was outside. The last couple times I've been to California, it has just been completely different. It's like the entire environment or the culture has just changed. Is that.
Greg
Yeah.
Adam Carolla
Is that. I mean, it's depressing.
Greg
Well, I. Listen, I grew up here my whole life. It. It was very pedestrian, kind of boring. It was kind of anywhere. Usa.
Adam Carolla
Yeah.
Greg
It wasn't Los Angeles that people think of. It wasn't Hollywood. I grew up in North Hollywood, not too far from Sunland to Hunga. It was just basic stuff. Get on your bike, ride around, find, find cheap thrills. Go down to the wash in Sepulveda basement, go find a swamp and go try to capture some snake or something. Yes, real hillbilly, kind of Mayberry. Just basic stuff, you know, it wasn't, you know, you look back to the 40s and 50s, but you can go ahead to the 70s. And it really wasn't much different. We lived the same. We had an old house. We didn't have air conditioning. We had a bike. You'd go out while the sun was out and come back when the sun came down. And that Was it. And it was a real. You know, there was a little bit of a law of the land. It was like there were certain dudes you didn't mess with. Other people you could. Some people had a sense of humor, some people didn't. You'd gravitate toward this person or that person, and you made your own fun. And most of it involved jumping off of a roof into a pool of some kind or breaking into the school on a Saturday. It was just. It was just kind of mischief, but almost quaint by today's standards, you know, now mischief is punching an elderly Asian woman or lighting a hobo on fire or something. But back then, it was just kind of pranks and gags and stuff.
Adam Carolla
It was. I remember heading off the wash because I used to jump off the little bridge into the wash. When it was certain times of the year, the water would rise pretty good and we'd be down there catching tadpoles. And then there was. I remember they had these little red minnows that were. Had red tails. And we spent pretty much all summer trying to catch them. We were never good at. We were building dams, trying to lock them in. And I just remember yelling. You'd hear a snake. And then we'd spend the whole day up in the hills flipping over wood, looking for king snakes. I think the. I think the prized possession of every kid was the California scarlet mountain king snake. And it was. It was more legendary than anyone ever saw. You know, we caught the regular. It was gopher snakes, racers and king snakes. And then there was a one faithful summer where I remember I was. We were staying. My friend had a. His dad worked for special effects and he had. Did the Freddy Krueger movie. So his swimming pool is when they did the bathroom scene. Right. So his dad would always have, like. Would have cameras. And like, whenever we'd hang out and play, because we used to. Back then we played guns. Wore everyone. We had cool guns back then. You know, that sound like the machine guns and stuff like that. So. And then we would go off and down to the wash to go look for stuff. And I just. I just remember having so much fun that you just didn't really think about anything. It was just. It was like that's all that mattered. And then there was this one. We flipped. I flipped over a log one day. We're all looking, and there was a rattlesnake curled up perfectly. And it was like maybe that big. It was a little baby. And we were just. Rattlesnake. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. And this is how we were back then. I came up all, obviously we're not gonna pick it up. Cause we're not dumb. You know, when we were growing up, the dumb ones didn't make it. So I remember saying to my buddies, we need prongs. If we had prongs. And then my brother was like, well, we could use our salad prongs. So we ran to our house, got the old school salad prongs, and it was still early in the morning. Clamped it on his head, put it in a bag, put it in a fish tank, and I put it in my bedroom. And I thought it was the greatest thing in the world. And my mom worked nights, so during the day she'd be like half asleep. So we'd get away with a lot of shit. Because if you ask her after she worked the 12 hour shift, she's gonna be like, yeah, yeah, just leave me alone. And I just remember sitting in there and my mom walked in the room and she screamed. She's like, what the hell? What is that? I was like, it's rattlesnake. And that was. And of course I had to get rid of it and I didn't want to give it away. And then me and my brother came up with this great idea. We'll put it with the king snake. Because it, you know, there. That you can't, you know, we put it in there and the king snake ate him in like three seconds. But I just remember that whole. It was just so much wilderness. It was so wide open. It was so many fun adventures. And we, we kind of dealt with like a. I don't. It wasn't a day. It was like almost a controlled danger. It wasn't like you flipped over the log and then a homeless guy comes running out and attacking you because you're in his space. You know, it was just a completely. There was danger back then, but it also, I think like the 80s and 90s, it's just. We were as weird as we are today, but I just feel like nobody gave a shit. Is that. Is that like. You could be. You could be an asshole. You could be a. Make fun of anything, anyone. You know, everything was rock and roll. All the guys were basically drag queens, but we thought they were tough.
Greg
You know, it was. Well, you know what it was, it was basically the relationship we had with smoking versus the relationship we have with smoking now. Whereas back then, people just smoked. If they felt like smoking, they would just light a cigarette. Didn't matter if they were indoor, outdoor, in the car. Kids in the car, windows rolled up. It didn't matter. You just smoke. No one said anything. No one bothered you. You. You couldn't light a cigarette now and stand on a sidewalk or a trail or anywhere without the first person that walked past. You would say something or pretend to cough. You know, go ask you.
Adam Carolla
How could you?
Greg
Yeah, right. You just couldn't do it. You would get messed with.
Adam Carolla
Yeah.
Greg
Like, it just. It would be. Now, obviously, if you lit a cigarette in a restaurant, you'd be asked to leave immediately on it. And an airplane, they would divert the flight and you would be arrested.
Adam Carolla
Yes.
Greg
But even if you just lit a cigarette, you know, like I said, you just stood out in the sidewalk in front of your house and lit up a cigarette. Someone walking by with a dog would say something.
Adam Carolla
Oh, yeah, and the same dog that just shits on the street and they don't pick it up, too.
Greg
I like. Right, right. So that was then versus now. And it happened with COVID where everyone was telling you to pull your mask up and how to live your life and what to do. We just somehow deputized a bunch of narcissists to get involved with shit that doesn't concern them.
Adam Carolla
Right.
Greg
Like the amount of time. And it's mostly women who do this. You know, they go, I'm getting involved. I'm making it my business. Like, you don't. It's not your business. You don't need to weigh in. There's no part of this that you need to get involved in. But they. They do. And we used to avoid at all cost, if somebody was playing their stereo too loud, you would never call the cops on them. You would never go bang on their door. You would just grin it out or turn your sleep or turn yourself.
Adam Carolla
It would be a battle back. Because back then, everybody had stereos, Right. Speakers Now.
Greg
Right now. Now it's something. Everything, all the time. And it's. And it's. It's a weird impulse. And it's not a. It's. It's not an attractive way to go through life at all. If you think about it, you know, getting involved with other people telling them what to do. Yeah. Like I said, during COVID I had 7,000 people tell me to put my mask up, like, alone on a horse trail, outdoors, you know, wherever. Like, it just. It's a weird impulse, and you guys should all knock it off. Leave people alone. The guy wants to smoke or not wear a mask, that'll be his business. You don't need to get involved.
Adam Carolla
I can remember During COVID and my family at the time, we were living in Louisiana, and we lived on a golf course. So we had this long backyard, and there would be a golf course, right? And I would. During the day, I would sit outside in the sun because we couldn't go anywhere. And I just kind of hang out in my yard, and I remember sitting there, and I believe I was having a mint julep of some sort, just enjoying the sun and why. Somebody was golfing, and it was a woman. A good. I want to say, a good 125 yards from me. I could barely hear her yelling, where's your mask?
Greg
Right.
Adam Carolla
Where's your. It was all. It was literally a echo. Where's your mask? Mask? And I'm like, I'm in my backyard, lady. You. You know, and like, how could you? Like, who am I going to infect? I'm in my yard. With the exception of the magpie in my bird bath, I'm good. I'm willing to take that chance.
Greg
We weaponized a lot of women.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, we.
Greg
We really screwed up our society by weaponizing women. We told them, everyone needs to listen to them. They can't be marginalized. Their voice needs to be heard. They. And they took it, and they ran with it. And it was a big mistake because we used to say with women, that's not very ladylike. Watch your voice. A young lady wouldn't say. Now it's like, I am woman. Hear me roar. And we gave them a. We gave them a megaphone and told and deputized them to go yell at anybody about anything all the time. And it was a huge mistake.
Adam Carolla
Well, I also think that was the. I'll use one of their words, root causes of all the non binary and what is a woman? Because they had so. Women had so much power that they could just go. One woman could say, hey, this guy's bad, and everyone come get him. Then all of a sudden, all these beta males suddenly identified as women. Because you could. You could be careless. You could say whatever you want, and there was no consequences.
Greg
Yeah. Believe all women. Like, that's the most insane thing I've ever heard of in my life, by the way. I've never really known a woman that I would even call accurate. I don't know any. It doesn't make them bad. But I do not know that many. Probably no women that I would label is accurate. You know, I would label many of my male friends is accurate. And I would say that about a lot of guys I know, but I don't know Any women where I'd go, she's super accurate. I would go, she's emotional, she's passionate, she has opinionated, she's whatever. But I would, I don't, I wouldn't use the word accurate.
Adam Carolla
I.
Greg
You go, but then you go, okay, you know, you go to the Supreme Court. Right, right. You take when they were talking about mandatory vaccinations, when they were arguing about that.
Adam Carolla
Yeah.
Greg
Sotomayor was like, there's thousands of young kids hooked up to ventilators. The numbers keep. She's not accurate at all. Right. She's lying, she's emotional. She sure as is inaccurate. And she's trying to pass a mandate that forces every American to get an experimental vaccine because she's a hysteric and not accurate at all.
Adam Carolla
And the vaccine wasn't accurate. It was not a vaccine by definition.
Greg
Right. At all.
Adam Carolla
It was basically a shot of what they best hoped with very little trials to get to. And I always felt America was always about making a choice. And that was the one thing that I thought would never in my lifetime ever be in jeopardy. And the amount of damage during that four year or five year period, I think it's gonna take us like 15 to 10 years to get to get over it. I mean, we, the one thing I do love about America is, which is different than other big time countries in history, is that we still have, we have always had the ability to correct. You know, 70s got really weird. Free love, hippies, all that stuff. Anti government, blah. And then it was a, then it was like a correction. It was like the adults in the room said, enough, everybody get back to work, cut your hair, raise your family, stop being an ass. And then we kind of. And then we had the 80s and 90s where I think everyone was kind of like, live and let live. Do your thing. I'm gonna do my thing. If I don't like you, I'm not gonna watch you. I'm not gonna stand out in front of your house and protest you because you made a joke that hurt my feelers, you know. And then it was. And then right around that time of the pandemic, I feel like the microphone and the camera was given to the lowest in terms of morals of our country. Like it was just the social deviance just took over and they tricked the world into thinking they were all these massive numbers of them. And I think that was the illusion of social media, where it was a small percentage of the country was telling us they're the norm and we're the ones with the problem. And even though they were outnumbered a million to one, every one of us, with a few exceptions, yourself, Dr. Drew said, no, this isn't right. And the consequence was. I remember Dr. Drew especially when he was canceled from everything. His show. I did his show every week during that time. And when we were doing it, I'm telling you, we had like 15 likes, you know, like, Alpha. And the comments were always, how could you? You guys, this, that, whatever. But, like, I was like, I'm standing by him. And there was so many people during that time of this crazy control that just let people that they had been friends and co workers with for years just drowned. You know when. Especially when guys went after you and Dr. Drew, especially as long as you guys have been on TV helping people, Loveline, I mean, I guarantee you there is. At least. I'm sure you get it all the time. Guys come up to you and be like, man, when I was younger, I watched that show and it really helped me in relationships. And they. All of a sudden, you guys went from that to basically, you're just a misogynistic, racist, oppressive piece of shit, basically all. And I was worse because I was the black one. This episode is brought to you by Redfin. You're listening to a podcast, which means you're probably multitasking, maybe even scrolling home listings on Redfin, saving homes without expecting to get them. But Redfin isn't just built for endless browsing. It's built to help you find and own a home with agents who close twice as many deals. When you find the one, you've got a real shot at getting it. Get started@redfin.com. own the dream.
Greg
Yeah, I know the black ones get it to work.
Adam Carolla
Oh, we're not. We're still not forgiven. It's never over for them. Like, you know, like, I will never be welcomed into mainstream media or mainstream Hollywood. And you know what? Kiss my ass. I'm doing just fine without y'. All. But it is. It is. It was a crazy time.
Greg
Yeah. It's always funny when they talk about women, they talk about women of color. It's all good until they cross the line and move over to the right side of the aisle. And then they have a certain kind of vitriol for blacks that do not stay in line.
Adam Carolla
Exactly.
Greg
Line is what they decide at any given day. And, you know, white, heterosexual guys, we get a certain amount of shit. But black, gay, female, and all the above, man, it is a. Well, it is a slaughter.
Adam Carolla
The one thing, though, about the white, straight, white, Guys is they are the out for everybody. So even if you are getting attacked, you could get out of it. And if you just say, well, it's the oppression from the straight white guys and they confuse me, you know, help me. You know, thank God you're here. They're everywhere, you know. And I just. For a long time I felt the amount of racism that was spewed and it was. Racism that was spewed on the average white guy was just as bad as racism that was thrown towards us in the late 60s. I mean, it was just, it was fashionable. You could go on TV and say, Adam Carolla is a racist bastard massage with no proof, no anything. Even though you have a body of work, that race has never been an issue with you, doesn't matter because you're white, you're oppressive. You have white privilege. And, and you be. And it was just. And then if you. And if it came from a minority or a black woman and you said, hey, that was a really racist statement. Their answer was the most retarded answer I'd ever heard in my life. Like, I'm black, I can't be racist. I'm like, the. What are you talking about? We're horrible. We go after each other over our shades of color. We're one of the most racist groups ever. A light skinned guy. Oh, man. Pretty mother. I hate light skinned. And that's from his own people. And then you're like, literally like, hey, just so you know, take a picture of somebody from Africa and take a picture from our darkest. We don't still look the same because we were mixed. Whether you want to admit it or not, we were all mixed. That's. The American brother is different because he was made in America. How we got we. That's a whole other argument. But this whole thing of just you can't be racist when it fits your mood, you know, is, Is laughable.
Greg
It's really. It's also a weird thing to really be discussing in earnest in 2026.
Adam Carolla
Right.
Greg
You know, like really, when you see like the ladies from the View that go, well, you can grow up in Iran or you could be a black woman in the United states. Like it's 2026. Yeah, try it. It's just, it's. By the way, it's gotta be so boring for them. And I know it's not boring for them, but what I'm saying is it's like the ones that are really into race, like 24 7. And they bring it up all the time. I say to people It. People laugh. But I go, look, I'm Italian, right? So what if I started dressing like a gondolier? And every time someone brought something up, I would say, I would start talking about, you know, spaghetti and lasagna or something. Go. As an Italian man, as the Oscars didn't have enough Italians represent. At some point someone looked at me and go, this is so boring. It's so old, right? Like, who gives a shit? They make movies. Some have black people, some have white people, some have Italian people.
Adam Carolla
I don't know, just make a good movie. I don't care what color they are.
Greg
Movie.
Adam Carolla
Just make a good movie, you know, and I want it. But it's, it's. And then Hollywood echoes the racism. Like, you know, Yellowstone was a series with Kevin Costner. I was all about it. And then, you know, he refused to walk out, so he got murked. So then they revamped. They have the new one, U.S. marshals. And I was like, oh, man, I really like that guy. I could not get through an episode. And there's only two because guess who the bad guy was in Montana on the reservation. Guess. White nationalists Nazis were taking over now. They were making a drug deal with a fake Mexican gang, a Latino murderous gang. But the marshals decided the nationals were more of a threat because even though the other ones were doing fentanyl, the Nationalists were going to kill people. They were domestic terrorists. That's all I kept hearing. Domestic terrorists, domestic terrorists. And I was like, I'm good.
Greg
I just was talking to Dr. Drew about this on my ride in half hour ago. I go, remember Joe Biden and the DOJ and all these people? All they said for four years was that white supremacy was the biggest problem this country faced. And the most dangerous problem was white supremacy. And I was like, this old guy left the border wide open for four years. Tons of Islamist terrorists poured across the border. And he's just talking about white supremacy being the biggest problem. And then what they would have to do is they'd have to manufacture stuff like some old guy was praying in front of an abortion clinic or something. It's like, that's a white supremacist. It's like we are now faced with sleeper cells and people shooting up malls and showing up at schools or churches or ball games with. With weapons and mass casualty events.
Adam Carolla
And.
Greg
And all we wanted to do is worry about white supremacy.
Adam Carolla
Well, even worse, even worse than that is, you could. And this is what bothers me, you who could. The. The left could have a reset. Like, hey, What Biden that admits it didn't work and we're going to help fix it. But when it does happen with the two dumb asses that threw the grenades at the thing, they told the story for empathy for them, right. And there was our concern is Islamic phobia. Excuse me. Like he. They threw if the, the bombs didn't go off. So yay, good, good for that didn't happen. But so it's not a big deal, you know, like, oh, these guys. It was something. I couldn't believe it. It was like they were heading to New York on a sultry summer day. Just two young men frolicking about this city of New York. And then the white agitators showed up almost like hero. It was just like there was a chance to correct. But I think they're so far in their bubble that unless it literally happens to them, they will never change. They will never say. And I don't know if it's because the orange dragon still in the White House that they just refuse, but at some point you would hope that they would put their bullshit and be like, hey, we know this was bullshit. We've made a tactical error. He's not part of our team anymore and we're going to help fix that. That makes sense to me that even if I didn't, even if I didn't agree with it, we've had enough murders. And here's the thing, this is just what we know, right?
Greg
Well, there is, there is a. See what they do and it's a very interesting thing. They kind of did it with COVID too, which is they, they go, white supremacy is the biggest problem this country faces. Okay, well that's a lie. But that's the statement. And then they echo the statement and everybody says it from Morning Joe to Kamala to Biden to Mayorkas and everybody in between. So they all state it now. They have to make it so. And so what they do is they start collecting incidents and calling them white race. So what they essentially do is they take the old woman in front of the abortion center and they call her white racist and supremacy. Same thing they did with January 6th. They have to turn it into something. And also simultaneously ignoring any crimes committed by any black or brown people or certainly Islamists. So you have to tamp that down. You have to boost this up. And now you're living in an upside down world where the FBI is kicking open doors of preachers who are in front of abortion clinic and turning a blind eye to the sleeper cell.
Adam Carolla
Well, and the thing is. And this pissed me off more than anything. Every time a brother would commit a crime, it wasn't his fault. It was the result of the oppressive white guy. So even when y' all didn't do the shit, it was still your fault. So anything I do, like if I got up right now and I punched one of the guys in my box and came back down, be like, well, I did it because Corolla was oppressing me and my raged and I couldn't reach out to him. So I went after his fellow breath white brethren who were, you know, and it's like. And then there would be a large sect of media who would be like, he's so brave for fighting back. Not the fact that I just assaulted
Greg
someone in San Francisco on the BART transit system. They said, we're not gonna release any pictures of any people who assaulted people on the bart, the Bay Area transit, because that would create racism. It's like, well, by the way, now it makes me a little suspicious. They may have been darker tone than me, but look, you not showing pictures of people or counting people or the funny thing they do every once in a while is they'd have a lot of black and Mexican guys and they just label them Caucasian when you book them or whatever. That's not really a problem solver.
Adam Carolla
No, it hides their. Well, their narrative is more important. Greg and I always say it's the party of, well, you crack a few eggs, you know, somebody gets, you know, thrown off a bus or set on fire. It's just, you know, they're, they're, they take a 9010 issue and then switch the numbers. Yeah, well, it's like voter id, you know.
Greg
Right. It's, it's the. Well, it's basically like saying. And this is how they feel. They go, you could take a thousand murders off the street, but if one black teen is incarcerated and he's innocent, it's not worth it. And I'm sort of like, well, I don't want him incarcerated if he's not guilty. But it is kind of worse.
Adam Carolla
Kind of. And as a black man, I'm with you, you know, because I've been, I've been in situations where I was with a bunch of knuckleheads when I was running the streets in California and we all got picked up when we were all sat at the station and like, who stole the shit from the store and the fingers pointed and those of us who weren't involved, we got to go home. Moms came, picked up, wasn't me. Mom you know. And you know what? My life went on, right? You know, and the guy who stole all the Garbage Pail Kids, he had to wait. There was a 711 we used to hang out at because it had. It had Donkey Kong, Jr, Ms. Pac man, and it always had the new Garbage Pail Kids. And one of my buddy couldn't wait for his allowance. I think back then a Candy Bar was 50 cents. Yeah. And a pack of Garbage Pail Kids was 35 cents. And he decided to take a whole bunch and stuff them in his pants. And he took out. And the guy stopped us all. We were trying to. Because once you get to your bikes, they're not going to get you. You get on that bike, you're gone. Especially if you go down. Becky, Lula, you're out. So we had to sit there and wait. The police came. He said, give me all your mother's names. You're all coming down. We all went because we were all hard. Nobody wanted to say who did shit right. And then as soon as the moms got called, we all singing like birds, you know, back then. And I just remember it happens in life if somebody, you know, we. Every movie we watch. But I think that's the. That's the funny thing is I. I really feel that it's the success of this country that has bred this. I don't have any real pressing problems. So I invent first world problems. Like, my life is pretty. I have food, I have shelter. I mean, this is America. If you got 20 bucks and a pistol, you're going to eat, you know. And that has made this soft thing to where in their feelings, they think every brother who gets arrested is really a poet or this soul who was stealing bread to feed his family. And it's like, you know, and you hear them say that all the time, you know. And my argument is, especially with, like Mayorca, who, if you just forget gigs, spend a weekend in county, you spend one, two days, 48 hours in county. When he comes out, as soon as he gets the Kool Aid stains off his lips and realize he doesn't have to hold anybody's pocket anymore, he will be thanking God for penitentiaries. He will be thanking God for having a good justice system. And the same thing with like an aoc, if you put her in a woman's correctional facility for two days to see how it really is, not how you imagine it. I mean, wolf one, she could come out pregnant. I mean, that's a. That's a scary thing, you know. But on Top of that. After they actually experienced it. I think they would have a different outcome. I think the thing is like all their stuff is based off social media. Make believe in feelings. And that's a problem. AOC well, she's not accurate.
Greg
The A stand mother stealing bread for her hungry. Yeah, that's.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, that's never happened.
Greg
That's never happened.
Adam Carolla
Never.
Greg
By the way, there is bread for hungry mothers.
Adam Carolla
Yeah.
Greg
If we need it. If they need it.
Adam Carolla
There's also Americans who would see somebody in trouble. I've done it a million times. Even when I didn't have shit. You see somebody in line, especially even a woman. Especially a woman. And she's like pulling coins and stuff. And you see she's got Wonder Bread and some stuff in a small child. I wouldn't even. Well, it's on me. I got you like American. We rally when people are in trouble and it's like that has been taken away from the community. It used to be a community. Like I remember getting bad grades. And the worst part wasn't getting home. It was walking past the other neighbors who had already heard through the grapevine and like disappointed. Can't believe it. You know, like oh no, no, no. Baked good. Remember Ms. Pyvis? She used to make baked goods all the time for us. And we would smell it. We'd be outside playing two hand touch football. Some of the biggest arguments of my lifetime were over whether we're first down. You crush the cans. You do the 10 seconds steps. And always the steps get shorter for you and longer for. And. But I remember Ms. Pius was like, no cookies, no muffins till I see a new report card. That was worse than the whooping. Because also hot summer day. You're sitting outside with your Capri sun and Ms. PIs makes some good and everyone's eating their stuff. And I'm just sitting there cuz I'm in summer school, you know. And I was like. But I remember knocking on her door after school going all season a wow, where's my stuff? You know?
Greg
Bitch.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. But it was. But that was community and that's kind of be taken away from us. I think where they're trying to make everyone think the world's a horrible place. Cause it's really not.
Greg
We decided the government needed to supply the lunch.
Adam Carolla
Yeah.
Greg
And now we don't need her and her baked goods anymore. You get free breakfast. Free lunch. The government takes care of the kids.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. And the nutritional value of cardboard.
Greg
Right.
Adam Carolla
With 6,000 extra calories. So all our kids are Fat.
Greg
Right.
Adam Carolla
And then when you say, hey, you're getting fat, well, you're a fat shamer.
Greg
Right.
Adam Carolla
So we're not gonna fix the problem. I'm body positive. No, I'm positive. Your body's not positive. Yeah.
Greg
If Kennedy comes in and tries to fix the problem, they all turn on him.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. Well, they get pissed off at him, but he's right.
Greg
Oh, yeah.
Adam Carolla
I mean, and that's the thing is, like, the truth is so much easier.
Greg
I agree.
Adam Carolla
It's such an easy conversation. Or to just say, hey, look, it doesn't matter. Just come out like Chuck Schumer and come out and just say, look, for the next four years, I don't care if President Trump has a direct line to bring in Jesus Christ to emcee the UFC event. They're going to have a problem with it. Just say, I don't care what he does. I'm against it.
Greg
They can't, because just say, everything's so dangerous.
Adam Carolla
Yeah. Oh, this is the most dangerous time to be an American. Really.
Greg
Listen, remember in his first term, he said, I'm just gonna move the embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. And they went, the Middle east is gonna be on fire if you do that. And then they moved it and nothing happened. And they never brought it up ever again.
Adam Carolla
No. And it's everything he does. This is the end of democracy as we know it.
Greg
Right.
Adam Carolla
But then the next day, the sun came up, and lo and behold, it's still there. It's never a. Never a retraction.
Greg
Oh, never.
Adam Carolla
I read there was an article where this woman was talking about, women are fleeing maga.
Greg
Right.
Adam Carolla
It was a. And she interviewed two women, and one of them was bitching about not even the maga. It was like, she didn't want to be. It was inconvenience being a mom because she's missing out on Pilates and social events. And this was a big time article. And I was like, it's a. An essay that somebody wrote to themself. You have two case study sources. That's an essay. And one's a deadbeat mom. Like, and the idea that women are running from MAGA men. And I was like, listen, most American men, their entire purpose is to impress their wife, provide for their wife, and earn love. The rest of us have been. When it doesn't work out, they get the house, they get the kids. We don't get shit. We're the bad guys. So what do you. But we're the ones who knew what a woman always was. We Never wanted our boys playing with women. We never wanted our boys taking women's jobs. We never want to call a guy in a wig and lipstick a woman. That was never. We were the feminist. For the last five years, the feminists have been masculine men. We're the ones saying, no, this ain't right. I'm not doing this. So women ain't running from us. And even when they leave us, we still have to take care of them, even though they didn't tell one joke, didn't wrestle one guy. You know what I'm saying? You know, and if we don't pay them, guess what? We're the biggest pieces of shit on the planet. So I just. I laugh. I laugh every. I mean, it's an. It's almost a laugh. Cry you almost. I do this a lot. I'll be like, wait a minute. We're the problem. We've given you everything you want.
Greg
Preaching to the choir.
Adam Carolla
Oh, I'm no one. But I'm just saying, just at some point, at least tell us your. Just at least tell me. I know what's real. But unfortunately, this is the way we're going, you know, and it's just. But that article made it to the Gutfeld show, and that's the problem.
Greg
Yes, agree.
Adam Carolla
And I'm like, it would have been better for us not to do the story because we just gave oxygen to an ignorant asshole.
Greg
I know. In this plan of getting rid of males. I love that plan. Getting rid of the people who built all the bridges, made.
Adam Carolla
Yeah, 90. Yeah. All the jobs that. All the infrastructure jobs. I think the lowest number is. I want to say 97%, man.
Greg
Right.
Adam Carolla
Oil riggers was like 99. I mean, guys, you're gonna lose an appendage. You're gonna possibly lose your life. You're gonna take years off your life just to do what, Provide for your family, you know, and then try to take. And try to build a life to find somebody or. I mean, it is just astoundingly sad that people get paid to go on TV and just say the most obnoxious,
Greg
stupid shit you have ever heard. But it's all sanctioned. And if you're.
Adam Carolla
Mail. But if we say something bad, we get sued, we get canceled. They will go on TV and just say the most outlandish shit you've ever heard in your life that you can disprove. I mean, one of the funniest things. And I don't wanna sit there and harp on President Trump too much. The Jesse Jackson thing pissed me off to no end all these presidents that he had no relationship with him. And Barack Obama, it was no secret. Who can forget the hot mic moment where Jesse Jackson talking about he wanted to castrate him, he hated him so much, Right? And they went to his funeral. They didn't tell stories of working with him. They attacked President Trump. The one guy, the one president who was an actual real friend to Jesse Jackson, his presidential campaigns, his per. Trump was there with him the whole time. And what did he say?
Greg
Listen, look, the whole thing, they were so on brand. It was perfect. Obama, they're all perfect. Nobody. I have a saying, which is disappointers never disappoint.
Adam Carolla
Right?
Greg
There's no way any of those assholes are missing an opportunity to take a shot. It would have been awesome if Obama just went up there and said, you know, there's a lot of differences and now's the time to set him aside and so on as good people on both sides. He could have done it. He wouldn't do it, and it's sad.
Adam Carolla
I appreciate you. This has been fun. We'll have to do it again soon.
Greg
Anytime you want.
Adam Carolla
All right, brother, till next time.
Greg
Talk soon, man.
Adam Carolla
Yes, sir.
Podcast Summary: Planet Tyrus — "Adam Carolla: Why California is Broken" (March 24, 2026)
In this episode of Planet Tyrus, host Tyrus welcomes comedian, podcaster, and author Adam Carolla for a frank and often humorous conversation about cultural shifts in America—particularly California—and the broader decline of common sense in society. The discussion interweaves nostalgic memories of their youth with sharp critiques of contemporary norms, touching on issues such as identity politics, community breakdown, government overreach, and the distortion of narratives by mainstream media.
The episode is a blend of biting satire, personal storytelling, and conservative cultural commentary. Adam Carolla and Tyrus paint a picture of a lost California, unchecked governmental and societal overreach, and a world flipped upside down by radical ideologies and media distortion. Despite the criticisms, the conversation is peppered with humor, camaraderie, and calls for a return to personal responsibility and community-based solutions.
