The Adam and Dr. Drew Show - #2090 - BREAKING PROTOCOL | Part 2

Episode Date: June 12, 2026

Adam explains his fascination with people who talk endlessly without actually saying anything, leading to reactions to speeches from Graham Platner and a Tony Awards acceptance speech that leaves Adam fired up. They then discuss Adam's laziness when it comes to certain aspects of daily life—especially his wardrobe—before wrapping up with a look at Bernie Sanders' ongoing warnings about the dangers of oligarchy.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Recorded live at Corolla 1 Studios with Adam Carolla and board certified physician and addiction medicine specialist Dr. Drew Pinsky. You're listening to The Adam and Dr. Drew Show. Yeah, get it on. Got to get on. No, Joe's been to get on. Well, Dr. Drew's not here, but Rudy Pavich is here. It's not about it. Even better.

Yeah, I would say so. We got a lot of stuff to get into today. I'm just looking down on my piece of paper, some clips. I love a, I'm really, I'm fascinated with this sort of word salad part of life. I have a slight obsession with it. I think my obsession with the word salad part is it's closely related to. narcissism. Like, when people talk, you know, like, I'm utterly fast.

Like, I'm fascinated with someone who can do a Rubik's cube blindfolded or ride a unicycle that's the extended one with the chain. That's like a six-footer and juggle. But I'm much more fascinated by the people that are like, look, there's a lot of injustice out there and when I see injustice I stand up and I make my voice heard. It's like oh wow I love I love

retarded hero talk sure like you didn't do anything yeah not done anything but I'm sort of fascinated but I'm sort of fascinated and I also fascinated with cyclical word salad talk

like and I know also I'll tell the person I like the most I like the person that interviews himself when they go am I going to pay my taxes? Yes I'm going to pay my taxes. Do I love this country? Damn right, I love this country. Am I going to lie to a black person on fire?

No, I'm not. No, I'm not, because I'm not a racist. I like the self-interviewer. Sure. The self-interviewer always seems to work out for them. They don't have to themselves. They never go, what about the time you're fucking your wife's sister? Oh, well, now that, hold on.

Yeah. That had a context. Now, they always ask them questions they know the answer to, and they always end up sounding like heroes. Yeah. So I'm an American. I love this country. But you know, when I see fascism, I stand up to it.

Which means yell about shit by not do anything or tweet or something. What do you do? I put a sticker on my water bottle that says, I read banned books. Right, right. Okay, I've never seen you crack a book in the last five years. But the banned ones, those are the ones you're reading. Yeah. Yes.

Even if you did read banned books, that wouldn't do anything. Yeah. But Graham Platner, he was given this speech like last week. And for like a Joe six-pack oyster farmer guy, he gets into some fucking weird word salad thing, which is weird because they got the Democrats go, look, this guy's got tattoos, who's in the military, and he's got one of those kind of beards where the mustache is more prominent. And so that's a dude. Yeah. And he drives a truck. And then he delivers this speech.

We are in one of those moments of crisis now. And we are going to win. And when we have won, when we have beaten back fascism, when we've saved democracy, when we've saved. We saved. We saved it. This time it needs to be a different kind of freedom. Not merely a romantic freedom of individual rights,

but a freedom that is real. That is material. The freedom to have time. All right, pause it. By the way, you want to know. what the opposite of material is, the freedom to have time. That's an esoteric non-thought that means a thousand different things to a thousand different people. Material is like saying a chicken in every pot and a car in every garage and you're not going to be renters, you're going to be owners,

but he says material, and then he says the freedom to have time. Which is weird because that's ethereal. Yeah. It means nothing. Ask anybody without a job. They got a lot of freedom of time. Yes. Sorry, go back a couple seconds and we'll decide. Now, so that's good. Go ahead.

Different kind of freedom. Not merely a romantic freedom of individual rights, but a freedom that is real. That is material. The freedom to have time. To have energy. To not be defined by fear. and anxiety.

The freedom to take risks, start a business. Make art, make music. Fall in love and raise a family. I don't know what the fuck this idiot's talking about you. To live lives to find not by struggle in scraping by, but of dignity and fulfillment. So this guy's a world-class pussy. Yeah. But he's masquerading as a lumberjack.

Yeah. And I have no fucking idea what he's saying. And I know my mom would be nodding her head feverishly, but she has no fucking idea what he's saying. And it would not change her lot in life at all. This guy's not going to change any. Now, Chuck, you're young. Does any of this, is there a party?

Like, I know this is 1,000% horseshit. But is there a part of you as a young guy who goes, I want the freedom to play the piccolo in time, in time to love? and time to create. Me? No, but other people of my generation, yeah. There's something enticing about this? Yeah.

And do they not care that nothing ever comes out the other end, that this guy gets elected and they still have a boss who fucking yells at them to get to work? They'll see an infographic that says something did come out of the other end, and they'll post that and then be happy with themselves. What is the time to love and the time to play music and the time to do? do art, how does he legislate that and then how does it work? And I have no idea what he's talking about. And also, if you'd like to start a business, it seems like the best place to start a business are the red states, not the super overregulated blue states that are in your party.

If you look at the rankings of worse business climates, California is the worst because it's a super majority of you assholes who run it this way. So what do you mean the freedom to start a business? Many people don't start a business in California because it's too regulatory. Yeah. And they don't have the time to get all the permits. I love it. It would be great at the end of this clip.

There was just a reporter going, sir, the question was, how do we secure the borders in Texas? Right. I don't know what you were talking about. So this guy's a dumb shit. And the reason I know he's a dumb shit is because he's saying stuff that. It doesn't make sense. And look, I'm not a Democrat, but I'll try to be charitable. And there are people I try to be charitable with where you go,

I don't agree with what they're saying, but I kind of understand what they think they're saying. I have no idea what he's talking about. Are we not free to love? Yeah. Or are we not free to play an instrument or time? By the way, I got shamed a little bit because of you. me and your love and your instruments oh boy rudy who set up my guest house and his guitar and his sononic drum kit and i came walking in there with that guy it was a real third and i walked in he goes

you play the guitar i go yeah no i don't have time to love much less learn a guitar why don't you just lie and say yeah i do but let's we're right in the middle of the thing right now i'm a little rusty I've been on the road. Just lie. It doesn't matter. I should have said, yes, I'm virtuoso on a guitar. And then he'd go, well, would you mind thrilling me? And then I'd have to pick it up and go, brum.

I bought my love a cherry that had no stone. I bought my... And I'd have to do the whole fucking song. Yeah, and then the realtor would take it and smash it just like... John Belushi. ...Belushi in Animal House and go, sorry, and move on. And what's what the fucking anxiety? Is everyone a fucking pussy?

Knock it off with the fucking anxiety. This guy's a fucking lumberjack. Where's this? What anxiety? Why does everyone have anxiety all the time? Get the fuck to work. Shut up. You won't have anxiety if you just fucking start burning calories.

Anytime they do something like this where they talk about the freedom to love and the freedom to have time. But then he goes, but then you could start a business. Didn't anybody in the crowd raise their hand and go, okay, well, all the time and love stuff is great. But exactly how do I start a business? Because some of that information might actually help me, where can I go to maybe get a loan or maybe have somebody guide me and how I can get my business off the ground?

Give us some of that information. None of this nonsense that just goes nowhere. Yeah, so as far as the Nazi tattoo goes, neither here nor there. To me, I'm a Gentile. Sorry, Chuck. Don't care about the Nazi tattoos. Do care about retarded fucking word salad guy

who's an imbecile. So for that reason, I would not want him in position of power. Maine is moderately challenging state of the art. Sorry, Maine is a moderately challenging state to start a business. So it's in the middle or it's challenging or something. The bluest are the ones that are the hardest to start a business. Sure.

And the red are the easiest. So I don't know what Graham Platner is talking about. There's also another word salad speech coming from an actor to Tony Awards. Oh, man. That's the best. The Tony Awards has got to be the blowhardiest. Because that's like actor on actor with more actor in it, right? That is like once in a while, like actors are blowhardy enough.

But the Tonys, that's like every once in a while. every once in a while like McDonald's or Jack in the Box, I'll do one of those. We take five pieces of bacon, a quarter pound burger, and we sandwich it between three more patties. You know what I mean? And you go, in the blowhard realm, that's what the Tonys are. Mark Ruffalo's bad, but he ain't this.

It's Mark Ruffalo if he turned into the Hulk. Right. And then did it. Started blowing hard. This is actor Allie. I don't know who it is A-L-I. He's receiving it. See, Ali Lewis,

bring the little of the Tony acceptance speech, we'll listen to it. Sometimes humanity needs a fantastical lens outside of ourselves to look at and explore questions about our own nature. Vampires represent those who have shunned their own humanity in order to achieve a non-existent sense of superiority. The billionaires will never find happiness from their money.

The colonizers will never find fulfillment from the land and lives they steal. The ones that made. The ones that make the yachts, the 300-foot yachts, they seem to be enjoying their money. As far as I can tell. Like, park it in the Mediterranean, go jet skiing for a while. It's good living. Private chef up there whacking up a papaya the whole day.

Sure. A lot of blender drinks going on. I also like that he said a non-existent sense of superiority. It's ironic that he's up there, you know, going on like this with his non-existent sense of superiority. By the way, the Tony, the. that I guess he's holding his right hand, it doesn't have much heft to it. It seems like, like, you go, I've, I won the Toyota Grand Prix. I got a big crystal thing.

It's like four pounds, five pounds. It's a cup. It looks pretty good. This Tony looks like what I got when I went to Farrells and finished off a pig's trough. It just doesn't seem like, it doesn't seem like much. Yeah. Daniel Russo got a huge trophy after he won that karate tournament. Why don't these guys walk out with a big trophy?

Unclear what the rules were for the All Valley. I agree. Yeah. One guy gets kicked in the meaty part of the thigh and he gets disqualified. Rousseau puts his heel bone through the orbital socket of the guy in front of him and no problem. Sweep the leg. It was probably not part of the rules, but they did it anyways. All right.

Sorry. We won't play this one out. Unhumanity. In order to achieve a non-humanity. existence sense of superiority. The billionaires will never find happiness from their money. The colonizers will never find fulfillment from the land and lives they steal. Oh, yeah, my love. The fascists will never find meaning from their conformity, not enlist lifetime or eternity.

People like to say that theater is a form of escape, but I've found more than ever that in this season and time that the theater is one of the last places people can come to worship the power of true collective human presence. We take a moment to recondition our addiction to desensitization. We ask how we can see ourselves in a stranger's story and then carry that sentiment out into the world that needs us to pass that more than ever. This guy cannot possibly do that thing where they interview him and they go, did you think you're going to win the Tony? I had no even.

I was the most surprised person in the room. As he's rolling up a scroll of an acceptance speech. You can't prepare a nine page. No spaced up. Accept in speech and not have thought you were gonna win this thing. But all right, keep it going. But I've found more than ever that in this season and time that the theater is one of the last places people can come to worship the power of true collective human presence.

We take a moment to recondition our addiction to desensitization. We ask how we can see ourselves in a stranger's story and then carry that sentiment out into the world that needs us to ask that more than ever. This is dedicated to the beautiful tapestry of immigrant families who make this country really special. May you one day not have to audition for the empathy that should be freely given by this country that benefits from your beauty for the queer and trans communities who have and always will exist no matter what people in power try to take away from them for the people of Palestine who deserve to live a free life of freedom by the way guys like this would be thrown off the roof in a gunny sack day one in Palestine They'd see this freak show coming down, coming down in his eye shadow, and they'd just be like, he is home all.

And they'd be like, I don't know. I haven't seen him suck dick. He sucks dick. I don't know. We don't have any very, let's not take any chances. Get him to the roof. Him and his lady trophy. We need a big man trophy.

Yes, he would be thrown off a roof immediately in the free people of Palestine would do it to him. I love what they say, the beauty of the immigrants. He has that, you know, Juan, that squatty Mexican dude at the Home Depot with the trucker hat on his beauty. He doesn't know what you're talking about. The rich tapestry. These people are fucking retarded. You know, it's funny, though, you know my favorite part of life is find guys like this and you look at their junior high photo album.

You look at the school album from their junior high or their high school and they look nothing like this at all. I don't know why I have a slight obsession with seeing what nerds they were and what they looked like in high school. Now he's got the pointing nails and the eye shadow and everything. All right, well, hear him out at the end of the speech. Empathy that should be freely given by this country that benefits from your beauty. For the queer and trans communities who have and always will exist, no matter what people in power try to take away from them, for the people of Palestine, who deserve to live a free life.

Loudest year. A full life without occupation. For Arab theater makers and artists, may we continue to tell our stories and show our faces so our humanity becomes undeniable and our families can no longer be written off as merely collateral damage. May they know the beauty of our kisses upon each cheek

and the romance of a language rooted in passion for love and life itself. If there's one thing we can learn from vampires is that life is short, but that's its gift. Find beauty in the ephemeral and gratitude in what is not promised, and always invest in the people that want to see you blossom into your truest self. and hold that space for them in return.

I dedicate this award to my late mentor, Ralph Patillo. Thank you. I love that the loudest cheer is Palestine. Listen, the Middle East doesn't have to be a piece of shit. Folks can act normal and then they can get the fuck on with it like they live somewhere in Europe, but they can't fucking do it. And Israel's the only sane place in that entire place. Yeah.

But of course, we've decided that Israel's the problem, just like we've decided that ISIS, the problem. Not all the legals that are here committing crime. The people that are trying to police the people are committing crime, which is basically what Israel is doing in the Middle East.

Not all the religious fuck stick fundamentalists around Israel that are throwing gays off of buildings and blinding women for reading. That's not the problem. The problem is the same people in the region. But it's the same thing. It's the same thing

ICE is to illegal criminals here. So at least it's consistent. We hate Israel and we hate ICE. The two that, by the way, aren't the problem. They're the problem because they fight back against the problem and you've decided their problem because you're fucking retarded or you're captured. Yeah, well, we need to take people from the Middle East and bring them to Broadway so that they can see the beauty and trans and gay people. Yes, that's right. And that guy would be thrown off the top of the theater. All right. We'll take quick. Right. We're right back after this.

All right, can we find a picture of this guy from his junior high yearbook? That's what I'm saying, because I bet he didn't adopt the vampire. Look back then. I would also say, I'm sure you probably didn't watch, my girlfriend really into Broadway and the Tony. So I do watch every year with her. And I just, I've seen the decline of, you know how TV was really campy?

And then movies were great. it's sort of flopped where movies are kind of shit now and TV shows are fantastic. Broadway is in this weird spot where, not that I can speak too highly of it, but they're in this weird, this zone where there's not a lot of creativity that's flowing around. One of the biggest Broadway shows that came out a couple of years ago was SpongeBob SquarePants. Oh, right. So this year at the Tonys, it was a Lost Boys the Musical. Right.

And then they revamped Death of a Salesman. And there were a few others in the mix. But there's one in particular that I thought you would get a kick out of, which is called Titanic. Huh? It is a campy musical comedy. It's a jukebox musical. So it's all songs that you would know where they're playing like Celine Dion. And it's all about how campy and funny the Titanic was when it went down.

And I laughed about it. I was like, is there anything off limits? Are they so bankrupt that they have, are they going to come out with? 9-11, the musical, is that what's next? And then might as well jump, jump! Is that going to be the next song that comes out? Well, you can only find this guy in college, huh? The yearbook is weird to me.

I'm sorry, the internet is weird to me, because everything is there and then nothing is there sometimes. But you can kind of see, he's probably not too far off. This is a very sort of milk-toed version of this kid. compared to what he was when he was accepting that, Tony. Yes. Yeah, it's interesting. I like musicals. I like theater.

I like all that stuff. But just like everything else, it got captured and it got kind of corrupted and it got politicized. And now, I don't know, not as interested. Well, they always say that, you know, you get a little bit older, you tend to find yourself. I noticed the guys with the long fingernails and the eyeliner and the scarves. That is probably the furthest away from your true self. You know, thankfully for me, I am so lazy that even a brooch is a bridge too far for me. Like if someone said, put this brooch on, I'd go.

Gold's not my color. I don't know. It's too much work. I literally, I'll wear the same clothes every day. like I am super it is weird I was talking about my son the other day he's the same way like it it doesn't it doesn't make sense to me to get dressed or to look normal with a dress up or something it doesn't compute I understand why you should and I it just never landed with me like it was this it never I was thinking back

The other day, actually, I don't know why I had a flash of Daniel and Jimmy. When I used to work at the Man Show, they threw away my flip-flops because they smelled too much because I used to wear him barefoot all the time. And it was like neoprene. And it got a weird neoprene smell to it. But I used to think of myself, I used to go to the Man Show every day wearing sweatpants, like a flannel shirt, no socks, and these flip-flop things. Anyway, before it was cool to dress down, I was just the laziest. I'm exquisitely lazy with certain things. So, eyeliner and makeup and jewelry and that kind of stuff, I couldn't do it.

When I see guys with the dreds and the weeds and the knots and the stuff, like I go, how do you, I go, once in a while I do a TV show, I sit in the makeup chair. I'm there for eight minutes. It's excruciating to me. Like I'm literally like, oh, please, it's done. We're done. We're good. We're good. Yeah.

Like, we're good. Let's get out of here. I guess in a weird way because somehow the makeup doesn't make sense, but the nails don't make sense. But the eyeliner, you've got to put the eyeliner on, and then you've got to take the eyeliner off, which is more work. Yeah. Now you're just undoing what you did.

but how yeah I never thought about that because it's almost like it's the drive there you never think about the drive back well it's a 20 minute drive there but yeah it's also a 20 minute drive back

which makes it 40 minutes yeah I never thought about the taken off the makeup where yeah it probably takes you 25 minutes to put all that on and then another 11 to 15 to get it all off at the end of the night what a pain in the ass I would be

I always said I never really like the showbiz part of show biz and but that you know when you would do a TV show back in the day you would have like a wardrobe person and you would go shopping with them like they would take you to Barneys in New York and they would go this looks good on you and that looks good and you should wear this kind of shirt and that kind of shirt like you get like a stylist and they shop for a bunch of stuff and then you'd get there and you'd try on a bunch of stuff. And then you'd have a makeup artist and stuff like that.

And I always said, if I were a woman, I would fucking love this. You got someone, you have a makeup artist, someone shopping you. I'm fucking miserable. I don't want to do any of this. It's the funniest thing. It was always be a weird thing where they'd go, here, try the shirt on. And I'd like hold the shirt up in front of me. And I'd go, it looks good.

It looks good. And they'd go, yeah, but try it on. And I'd go, what is it? It's an extra large. It's going to fit. I want to see what it looks like. I go, with the pants, 34, 34, yeah. They're good.

That's going to work. And they go, try it on, try it on because they were all chicks. And they wanted to do it. And I, like, didn't want to do any of it. But I was thinking, I did think, like, what if show business was something that I really liked? Like, what if, like, we got to have, we got to get you there early. because we got to talk about vintage racing for a while, and then we're going to go get you fitted in the car.

We'll make sure the straps, the harnesses fits you. I'd be like, oh, okay, what time? Like I then realized I would like being there, but it was only dress and makeup, and women loved it, and I was always miserable with it. And the thing you're talking about, most people sort of veer towards comfort nowadays. They want to be comfortable.

And I get that, but there are two versions of comfort. There's the version of, I'm just going to wear the sweatpants and the crop top shirt that shows my big muffin top on this airplane. Or you can just go out and get yourself a nice pair of athletic sport joggers with a nice hooded sweatshirt and a hat. And you can still be presentable while being comfortable instead of showing up to your flight in a pair of crocs and sweatpants that you haven't taken off in a month. I've been sleeping in. There's a difference between the two. I don't know, maybe run a comb through your hair, or if anything, put a damn hat on, so I don't have to sit and stare at you. I basically dump talcum powder down my undershorts and get like seven wearings out of them.

It's a nice, another nice trade of mine. I use the same fork, knife, and plate every fucking day. I just leave it in the sink and just, by the way, I don't put soap on it. I just run it underwater and wipe it with my hand. I got a lot of... Yeah. Yeah. To me, I'll take my jeans.

If I'm on the road for more than a week, I take one pair of jeans and at day four, I'll lay them over the balcony outside of the hotel and just let them sit overnight. And then just grab them on the next day. They're washed. They're fine. You save a lot. Let's see. Pride display at Washington High School includes testosterone vials for females?

What? I didn't even... What is that pride? display at Graham Capo Caposin high school Washington

reportedly includes vials of testosterone injections I did not know that story so I was reading a little bit about this and when I saw the thing

about the testosterone I went okay fine whatever you want to take one of those nugenics pills that you know the big hurts taken fine whatever but when they said injections I thought

ooh that feels that feels a little too far for, especially for the females. Are they doing this because it's transition pride? Again, look, everyone with all the pride, I reject all pride, by the way, black pride, gay pride. I don't like any of it. You can be proud of the country and then that's about it.

You can have your team, and that's fine too, but that's where it ends with me. Now, I don't, I'll tell you why. I'll tell you why. I don't like any of it because everyone thinks it's a good thing. I don't think it does anything. I don't think it helps anyone. And all it does is satiate. You feel like something happened.

It didn't happen. They painted the crosswalk in front of City Hall in gay flag colors. You're gay. That does nothing for you. Great. Except where you like it. and it feels like something happened, but nothing happened. So we have way too much stuff going on where it feels like something is happening,

but it's not happening. If you're gay, you don't get another penny an hour. You don't get another advancement in your career. You don't get healthier food. You don't get a better relationship. Your car didn't just get bigger and safer. They just painted a crosswalk with the gay. flag so dumb people would feel satiated.

But it did nothing for you. Yeah. And the fact that it feels like something is the insane part. And then what you get is you get like these 74-year-old people and they're out there screaming about the oligarchy and then they go right back to their shitty apartment and whatever life they had before this oligarchy thing. They went out. They spent three hours on a Saturday.

listening to Bernie Sanders and AOC talk about something that Bernie Sanders and AOC made up that have no fucking idea how it's going to change. By the way, now, I don't know what we're looking at here, Andrew, but there is a funny X thing, which is Bernie Sanders complaining about the oligarchy through the years, which I want to show that to everyone and go, he's not going to do anything for you. Yeah. It's basically, Al Gore has been complaining. about the climate for 25 years, Al Gore's rich. You're not. And there's nothing about him complaining

about the climate that's going to help you. Now, what is these things? Oh, so they're vials of testosterone at the Washington High School display for the Pride Month, which is, I guess, about transitioning. Find Bernie Sanders going on about the oligarchy. I don't know why this stuff always makes me laugh. Bernie Sanders is going on his fourth house. You're renting. Don't worry about Bernie Sanders and his oligarchy. You get your shit together.

Yeah, I was in Minneapolis this past week, and there's a billboard there. It's Pride Month, and Minneapolis, a huge hub for LGBTQ. There's a billboard for a bank, which, by the way, these companies that just pandered to these groups of people to get their money. It's so sickening. There's a billboard, and it says homeownership is available for everybody, but people who are LGBTQA-I-plus, whatever it is, are 20% less likely to own a house. Well, why? Why? Why are you, is that true? I want to see the data on that and put it on the damn billboard. If it is true, I want to know why. Are you just saying that, or is there some sort of thing where, like, in Minneapolis? Yes, homeownership compared to

straight people compared to gay and lesbian people, they're 20% less than straight homeowners? Yeah, maybe, but don't tell me that 20% of, 20% less of straight people, because you're gay or lesbian, means you're not allowed to get a house. It's bullshit.

You can only say Pride Month and then rush your word homeowner together so many times before somebody takes offense. I will say that's number one. Number two, look, here's how it works. white people own homes at a higher percentage than black people, but Asian people own homes at a higher percentage than white people,

and possibly Nigerians and Armenians as well. So I don't know. What are we chalking this up to? Average income on a gay couple is more than average income on a straight couple, because Rudy, you and I ever hooked up. Yeah. We'd be sitting pretty by now. Now pronounce you Chuck and Larry, can't wait.

Yeah. That's right. All right. We'll take a quick break. We'll do our Bernie Sanders oligarchy vid right after this. At first, I didn't think it was real. I woke up to this blinding light, and I was transported to another place. Pluto TV.

Then I heard a voice. Come with me if you want to live. There were thousands of movies and shows, and they were all four. The truth is ours. It's just so beautiful. On Pluto TV, free streaming of Terminator 2, Fringe Arrow, the 100 N-EX files may cause excitement, loss of sleep, and sudden belief in extraterrestrials. No credit cards or alien encounters necessary.

Pluto TV, stream now, pay never. All right, so it's 1993 is where Bernie starts his oligarchy tour. And I think we go to 2020. We got 30-some-od. 33 years of the oligarchy tour. So look, Bernie Sanders may be sincere about stopping the oligarchy. And AOC may be sincere about climate stuff. And Al Gore may be sincere about climate stuff.

They never fix it. They never change anything. I'm not saying be against climate or the oligarchy. I'm saying these guys aren't going to fix it. for you, so you go out and make hay well, the sun shines. All right, but here's Bernie. This great country of ours is moving very rapidly in the direction of oligarchy. The United States of America today is increasingly becoming an oligarchy.

More and more moving toward an oligarchy. We are moving in the direction of oligarchy. We will move even more rapidly in the direction of an oligarchy. Hold on. The only thing that's moving is his hairline. Everything else has remained the same. But you can learn from this is the oligarchy doesn't move, but Bernie gets balder as he complains more about the oligarchy. I don't know if there's a connection between balding and complaining about the oligarchy.

Then now in 2012, he's fired up about the oligarchy. Of an oligarchic, this great country is evolving into an oligarchic society. Please he changed it there. It is called oligarchy, and that is the system we are rapidly moving toward. This is a budget that moves our country rapidly into the direction of oligarchy. A handful of billions of 2018 or 19 again Saturday. ...this entire planet toward an oligarchic society. We start off with the bad news, which is pretty bad.

And that is that under Donald Trump, this country is hurtling rapidly. toward oligarchy. I don't know. It's great. And someone will lean over when he's in his death, on his deathbed and just go, Bernie, all the shit you talked about, you didn't get anything done. You got nothing done. You never fucking employed anybody.

You never built anything. All you did was complain the entire fucking time. And for some reason, became a folk hero by just complaining about something and never fixing it. Wouldn't it be great if on the day that he passes, three minutes before that thing flatlines, we announced that we are now an oligarchic society. Like, he can finally just rest easy. No, I think if I was his nurse and he was minutes from dying, I would go, good news. We fixed the oligarchy.

And he'd go, what? I'd go, just kidding. See, and how. Enjoy. By the way, Bernie, dying is not going to sit well with you because once you're dead, you can't get free shit anymore from taxpayers. Yeah. So I don't know how it works, but you like free shit. The good news is your kids are going to be able to whack up your four fucking houses

that you are able to collect while complaining about the oligarchy. Yeah. Does do his kids come out? Do they carry that torch of the aligarchy? Do they go out and they maybe spread his message? I don't know. I can do it for 30s, five years. As a kid who's fought valiantly against every.

Every, I'm trying to think, my, I'm trying to think of the right word for this. Let's see. I fought against everything my parents ever stood for. Every value is a child who has pushed back against every value my mom's ever had and my dad as well. Pretty much done the opposite of every single thing I've ever said or done and been successful because I've done the opposite. because I've done the opposite of every single thing they've ever said or done. It kind of saddens me when the person's kid is all in with them. Like, you know, when you see like Nancy Pelosi's daughter just doing the same thing.

Like, you know, when you have Gloria Allred's daughter doing the same thing, like Gloria Allredd should fucking hate her mom and go, I'm not going to be some hack fucking extortionist lawyer. with these bullshit cases. It's embarrassing. Like, you should be embarrassed that your mom is Nancy Pelosi, not I'm going to make a film about her. Lou Reed's son picking up a guitar. Oh, God damn it. No.

Let's hope. Oh, if there's a Lou Reed, Jr. Go El Cabong on yourself, son. El Cabong, self-Cabong. Turn the cabong on yourself, Jr. Well, it's like, now there's like, George Soros' son is doing the exact same George Soros. Now, here's the caveat.

If Jim Carolla was worth $3 billion, Adam may be sucking up a little with Jim. Sure. It's easy for me because my parents didn't have anything to just go, fuck y'all. I'm doing something different. I wasn't worried about getting written out of a will. But it is a little weird and embarrassing when everyone is just following.

in the footsteps. I kind of feel that way about couples, too. You guys should be arguing about everything. Yeah, fucking gring with that one or another. Yeah, like, you know, you see Elon's daughter get angry and storm out of an interview because somebody brings him up. I kind of like that a little bit. I kind of dig that.

I don't like it when somebody, a family member, has money or a little bit of power, and you just go along with it because it self-serves you financially. Get, you know, that was the thing. I get the feeling that Elon's. son who's become his daughter, I guess, I get to feeling there's some money that they received regardless. Yeah. But not, look, if my dad was Elon, I'd be sucking up big time, whether I agreed with him or not.

Yeah. Now, so I kind of get the suck up part. I also, though, as a guy who's had to interview people, when you're talking to Elon Musk's son, and he's literally one of the most famous people on the planet, that is my, here's, I've said it a million times, but it's my, Monica Lewinsky's coming on the show, but she just wants to talk about our handbags. It's like, I kind of have to bring up the claim. Do you talk about blue dresses too? Maybe something, anything?

Yeah, speaking of blue, past tense of blow. No, what I'm saying is, it's like, it's weird if, if, if Elon Musk's son slash daughter came in here and we just talked fashion the entire time, it would be weird. It would be jarring not to bring up the fact that your dad is Elon Musk. And also, as a journalist, you're not really doing, or an interviewer, you're not really doing your job if you don't acknowledge that. Yeah. I mean, you can even do look, I know you don't really want to talk about it. It's not what you're plugging. But the audience should know that your dad is Elon lost.

Well, yeah, when J-Lo announces that she's getting divorced and shows up to Good Morning America the next day, if Robin doesn't sit down for just a half second and go, I know this is difficult. but obviously you made some big life choices recently. Do you want to talk about that? And she goes, you know, I'm just trying to keep that private. It shows that Robin knows what is going on in the world. You have to show people that you know what is happening because if you don't bring it up, it sounds like you have no eye. You shouldn't be up there because you are not prepared for this interview.

I just thought of something. Robin Roberts. Former ESPN analyst. Now GMA. Right. And then from the band, Robbie Roberts. Robbie Roberts. Is that Robbie Roberts from the band? I don't know. Is it?

Robert Robertson. Robbie Robertson. There you go. Don't you think Robin Roberts should have married Robbie Robertson and then hyphenated? Yes. So she'd be Robin Roberts, Robertson. I feel that same way about the Ford family. And like, there was a thing.

So John DeLorean married model Christina Ferrari. Oh, love it. So her last name would have been, she would have been Christina Ferrari Delorian. Ferrari DeLorean would be her last. Great name. Name, right? And there's Ford's that are out there.

And there's daughters of Delorean and there's daughters of, you know, Chevrolet and there's other famous car companies and things out there. Actually, there are no Chevroletes out there. John Chevrolet? No, there's Ford's everywhere, no Chevroletes anywhere. But there are names that are, you know, I don't know, Maybach is a family name that's also a car. There's a Mercedes-Benz. You could be named Mercedes. Mercedes is a first name.

It could be like Mercedes, Ferrari, Delorean Ford. Yeah. Robbie Robertson. If you want to sound fancy but not be, you could go with Pujo. Pujo. Yeah. See, maybe if I get married to a French lady, I changed my name to Rudy Pujo. Because I wanted people to think I'm fancy,

but I'm not. You know the name's smart and final does not refer to being smart and final. It's last names. The shopping place, Biden's last names of, listen, do you know what the air, and by the way, leaving money on the table, this person left no money on the table, you know what the daughter of the Learjet fortune and the family is? I think you've told me this before.

I'll let you say it. I don't want to say, but I think you've told me this before. Shanda. Shanda. Yes. Shanda Lear. Yes. Great. That's funny. And you know the son of jacuzzi's first name? I don't. No beating off in the. It's a long first name. Well, he condescended, though. He just goes by just the initials. That's right. You made an accurate. Is smart and final? I'm from the Midwest. Is that a store?

out here in California? Yes, smart and final is we're poor people buy stuff. Yeah. And it's cheap and it's fast. And I think they got groceries and booze and all that. It's not, it's not, it's somewhere between, it's like, it's not a Trader Joe's, but it's not a Walmart, but it's somewhere, somewhere in there. It's like a fresh time, you know, it's not quite low end. It's not quite high end.

Just kind of in that little middle space. Chuck, you've been to the smart and final? I have not. Believe it or not. Where do you do your shop? Air one, I bet. Trader Joe's. As a poor person.

Trader Joe's is a mitzvah for poor people. Yeah. Love it. It is, you can get good stuff almost free. Sure. And it's amazing. We had to buy, when I was poor, we just go to the fucking luckies and buy generic everything. And it was like, p.

Yeah. Yeah, we had a place called Pumaita, which Pumitas are now bankrupt, but it was the three sons, Paul, Mike, and Dave. Oh, really? And they put it together. It was started in Michigan, moved over to Wisconsin and then Minnesota, but Pomita was where you would go where you'd buy your cassette tapes, you'd buy your car batteries, and then you'd buy your generic bags of cereal all at Pumita. Really? Yeah. The place was great.

I miss the car battery phase of life. needs a new battery. Yeah. Going down to Sears. Sears Robux, yeah, baby. Got to get a die-hard battery in there. Got to get the battery tested. Mm-hmm.

Going to get a new one. You got to get the guy who's got the tester on his belt. Got that guy, he's ready to go. We need the core. Yeah. You got to turn in the core. I'm going to have to charge you if you don't turn in the core. Yeah, man, it's like the propane tank.

Who are these people with all this money going out there and not turning in the propane tank to get the discount? These people show up and they just buy a brand new propane tank. Who do you think you are, Rockefeller? Oh, man, I was the guy at the Pickapart in Sun Valley, like crawling under, crawling under cars pulling starters off because a new starter would have been way too rich for my blood. Yeah, so Pickapart was like the junkyard where you could get everything. Yeah. Yeah, so you would go to the pick apart.

The pick apart, and by the way, the junkyards were great because they were, land, lots of land. Lots of, by the way, you just walk through them and you go, no one survived that crash. But the starter did. The guy and his girlfriend, the guy in his newlywed wife went through the windshield, but the starter was well protected.

And I'm going to fucking save $8 and pull that shit myself. The blood hasn't dried on the dashboard yet, but it's fine. Yeah. Wipe it off. There's new. There are lots of parts you couldn't find. You couldn't never find bumpers, because that's the first thing that went

when the truck got destroyed. But the starter was good, the head was good, you know. Yeah. And you'd have to show up with your tools and then you'd pull the part. But the thing that was interesting about that is the ground. It was not paved. Oh, dirt.

Yeah, dirt, dirt, dirt. But the dirt had so many years of transmission fluid and engine oil and cooling in it, that it was compact and hard. And it was almost like it was, was paved because it'd been doused with so much tranny fluid and rear-hand fluid and engine oil over the course of decades that was like walking on a paved smelly street and then you'd go find your car and then go pull the fucking starter and then save $12.

Yeah. The other part that sucked about that is when you'd lay down on the ground to pull parts. You were in the tranny. Yeah. Like you would literally get like a like a brake light. shard of breaklight would go right into your ass. All right. Tonight, Oklahoma City,
