Welcome to the show, folks. How you is, what it was. I say this calls for action and now. That was a good tough cop, that guy. We got a good show today. Let me tell you something. A guy I haven't talked to in a long time, and he was nice enough to put me on his podcast

when I was out in L.A. doing other stuff. And you see him pop up on Fox News and a few other plays. He's a good pundit on TV, as they say. He's got a special. Dallas, what was this special? Adam Carolla comes clean. Folks, it's really getting scary. If I find my way home tonight, I'll be very happy.

Yeah, Adam Carolla comes clean. You'd find it like on YouTube and Dry Bar, which is all clean comedy and stuff like that. And he writes books. He builds houses. He plays with cars and shit. A regular guy. It's what we like about him. So here's my sit down. The first part was.

with a great Adam Carolla. My guest today, very funny guy, best-selling author, does everything. Made a boxing movie a few years ago that I loved actually. And you see him on all the political pundit shows with the Fox News or wherever. And a really good guy,

what we call a regular guy, a blue collar guy, but with a lot more smarts, it's my friend Adam Carolla. Welcome to the show, sir. Thanks, Nick. Thanks for having me. How you bet? What are you been up to? Every time I see a TV, you plug in a book or what's the latest? I write books every couple of years. It's not really my job.

I do documentaries every couple of years. It's not really my job. I do, you know, daily podcast. And I've been doing a lot of touring, a lot of stand-up. I have a stand-up special. I just did a couple of drives. bar special. So there's a couple of stand-up specials out there. Yeah. Yeah. I think you can, it's called Adam Corolla comes clean and you can see them on YouTube or dry bar or whatever. I can't believe they haven't knocked on my door, Dry Bar. I mean, I'm as clean as they come. I think they're going to, I think they're going to start branching out. It's interesting. The concept of doing a clean 45-minute stand-up show presents a challenge.

sure and I'm always up for a challenge I was like I'll do it and it was a great experience before we get to the stander I would like to talk to more about that you know we podcasters owe a lot to Adam I mean you're the one of sort of blew this thing up first didn't you is that correct I was definitely very early into this space and I definitely

probably paved the way to a sort of monetization recipe or guide or architecture. Like I sort of, I think people podcast before me, not a lot, but there were some out there, but I guess I could take credit for taking a sort of a business model to it, which was just radio, just, you know, build an audience and sell advertising. It's, you know, a 120-year-old model. that I that I pioneered 15 years ago, you know. You refurbished it.

I refurbished it. And I also started doing live podcasting over 15 years ago at clubs and theaters all over the country. And all that is is an old-timey radio format as well. Did, but you sort of took off quick. I mean, did that have to do with you being on Comedy Central? And you were pretty big on radio, right? LA. I mean, did all that help when you, as far as the podcast blowing up? They knew who you were before you started it or no?

I think what happened with me is I was on a lot of markets, uh, with a syndicated show called a Lovelin. Oh, yes. And Drew Penske. Right. Right. Right. And so that show was a was a popular show and it was a heavily syndicated show. So maybe that show was in 110 or 125 markets, right? And then I took over for Stern on the West Coast and started doing mornings. And that was a syndicated show. But that show was only in like 10 or 12 markets. So now I go from 125 markets to 10 markets. So kind of a lateral move.

Yeah. Well, in a sense, I'm on late night, which in the radio world is not prime real estate. And then I go to mornings taking over for Howard Stern. So that is prime real estate, but much less markets. So now there's all these people who are in Boston or Chicago or Minneapolis who do not get the Adam Corolla radio show anymore because I'm done doing late night. So they go to the computer and they start listening evidently. I don't know anything about this at the time, but they evidently listen to my show from their computer.

So now I'm essentially podcasting in a sense, and this is 2006. And then the program directors are coming in every other month, and they're saying, you got, they're basically saying this. They're going, look, you're number five in Los Angeles, and that sucks, and we need you in the top three or number one in Los Angeles and what have you. So we're disappointed.

Also, you have 19 million minutes of streaming second only to the fan in New York. And so I go, well, that sounds like something, right? And they go, no, nothing. We're not interested. Really? We don't care. We don't care.

So, well, they couldn't, they couldn't figure out a way to sell it. Right. Oh, I see. But the markets, but you have, you have a following at that point. Right. So I have all these million minutes of streaming. Right. But there's nothing to do with it because I'm on terrestrial radio.

So when I leave terrestrial radio, I think to myself, well, all these million minutes of streaming, that got to count for something. So when I went to podcasting, I was able to gather up all the people that were already on the computer listening to my radio show. Well, that sort of answers my question. You did a lot before. That was, and that was very instructive. I like how, like, you got into radio and you, then I moved to Stern. You did all the stuff that I was trying to do, because I love radio.

I love radio. It's one of my favorite, I listened to it when I was young. People would laugh at me, my butt. You listen to Rush Limba? I go, yeah, I'm fucking listening to Rush Limba. And I love the art form, whatever you want to call it. And it didn't have comedy. I was on Comedy Central a lot, so they handed me a show on Howard Stern Station, K-Rock,

at noontime, right after Howard. And I was all excited and did it for a couple months. And then I'm at home and I'm painting my house. I'm on a ladder on the roof doing something, which I'm not like you. I don't do a lot of that shit. I was very proud of myself. I was actually on a roof fixing something.

And my wife says, I forget the general manager's name at K-Rock. Tom, Tom so-and-so's on the phone. And my wife goes, well, he's up on the, up on the road. He goes, tell him he, tell him he doesn't have to come down. I go, what, this isn't good? Just tell him that the, that this, the, everything's, the whole networks. canceled or whatever because they had no money.

I was new to radio. I jumped into it and I noticed a lot of long faces in the coffee rooms and shit. People who worked there. And one guy goes to me he goes, yeah, they're losing money left and right or whatever the fuck. And this isn't going to last long. And I'm like, bullshit. Sure enough. Like after two months

or three, I'd have been three or four months. But yeah, that was that. And that was a, I mean, it's a pretty good you know, K-Rock. I had already I had a bunch of cops listening to me a bunch of construction workers, all the stuff, the people that, like you and I. So, but I stayed with it and, and, every, you know, I, I, I jumped back and forth. Me and Artie got

that show. Right. Right. And, um, right. That was kind of, uh, oof, direct TV. I remember doing that show. Yes. We had you on. Yeah. Absolutely. Yeah. Artie, already was a little, uh, say he was being Artie. We didn't know. I knew we had a problem, Adam. We had a celebrity chef on, and Artie was throwing food at him from our desk across the room.

Yeah, yeah. True story. And then the next thing, you know, next thing, you know, I'm the bad guy. I'm keeping the thing on the tracks. Artie believed they did the show because of his name. I'm the one who brought the deal to him. We were looking for somebody, you know.

And anyways, that's how that is. And here I am. Yeah. You know? Yeah. No good deed goes unpunished. That's what I learned in show business.

I know. I'm telling you. My wife wouldn't even believe me because when we were doing the radio part of the show, Artie, after about two weeks, would turn his back to me and kind of talk to the sidekick. We had this guy, Mike Boshetti, who was a little nuts. And he kept talking to Mike. And he had his back to me half the show. And my wife didn't believe me.

because she was only listening to it. I go fucking watch it. And then even some of Artie's fans are going, Nick's getting elbowed out under the, you know, under the basket or whatever. And then the tension grew a little bit. It was funny because we did Jimmy Kimmel right after we got the show.

Me and Artie flew out there. And Jimmy goes, he goes, you guys have your first fight yet? I didn't even know what he's talking about. Oh, and about two weeks later. It's like a bloodbath. And you know that from radio. Well, I mean, radio guys, you know, look, comedians, radio personalities, they're sort of inherently flawed.

True. And, you know, taking two guys and putting them in the same room who sort of have the same, you know, genetics, comedically radio. Yes. You know, I work, you know, Dr. Drew is one of my best friends, and we've been at it for 25 years. and but he's not a comedian. He's a doctor. Right. So we don't have that sort of two hot chicks sense.

You know what I mean? He's a fat, homely chick, and I'm the bell of the ball. So we don't have that. Right. Or it's the other way around. Right. Possibly be the other way around. But either way, the analogy stands, which is we don't, we're not competing for the same dude, you know?

Right. And especially like two alpha males. That's like, you know, it's just. anyway. Well, look, it's an interesting thing for your audience, I think, to kind of think about and maybe something to weave into their own relationships, which is I've had a few partners in my day. I've had Dr. Drew. I've had Jimmy Kimmel. I've had Skip Adele from Catch a contractor. Like, I've been teamed up with guys. Right. And I'm happy and proud to say that I'm very good friends with all of them and didn't really have tough times with them at all, which is baked into a creative partnership on camera, on Mike.

You know, it just happens. You know, Jerry Lewis hates Dean Martin and vice versa. And it has to happen that way. And I avoided it by kind of looking at each partnership as its own entity. And I realized, like, with me and Dr. Drew, I was going to be the alpha in that thing. I was going to do most of the talking and sort of I was going to guide that partnership. With Jimmy, Jimmy's completely different than Drew. And so I was different in that partnership with him.

And then with Skip Adele was a different dynamic. You can't just stay the same. You have to factor in who you're dealing with. True. And all those guys you just mentioned is one thing, none of them were heroin addicts. No, I mean, that's what I was dealing with. Jimmy did Molly. That's the name of his wife. Let me ask you about Jimmy. Now, we're talking to Adam's, I almost said, Sandler, holy shit, Adam Carolla. And let me ask you about Jimmy. I know you're probably still friends, so I'm not going to get into how I feel about him. I always liked him. I thought he's a regular guy. I got a whole different vibe about it.

I don't, I don't, again, he's your friend or whatever, but I don't care. I don't, I don't like this guy anymore. What, what the fuck happened? Uh-huh. Well, it's kind of interesting because he might say the same about me or you as well, although I don't, I don't feel like I've changed. You'd have a, I haven't, I haven't, well, then he'd be fucking wrong. He's the fucking nut. I know, but the problem with I haven't changed, I'm sure Chas Bono yelling at Cher.

haven't changed. It's you. It's like, I guess. It's like, honey, you have a dick now. You used to have. Yeah, I mean, I don't know. A lot of it is, you know, Hollywood, late night. I mean, there's a, there's a whole ecosystem out here that I've sort of chosen to be estranged from. I don't live in it. I don't work in it. I don't thrive in it. You live in reality. Yeah. And, and, and, and, but. It's also a different reality. It's a reality where you lose a lot of friends, you know, not Jimmy, but I just mean

if you want to go down that road in Hollywood, you can, but it's going to cost you something. And, you know, as far as Jimmy goes, I know him is a very decent, moral, generous guy, and a funny guy. And that's kind of where it ends with me. I just, I like him. I owe him my career. He got me started and we've always been friends and there's political differences. And I have that with a lot of people, I would say.

But I still can recognize the good people from the bad people and I recognize him as a good person. Well, in all due respect, I think he's a bad person for what he's turned into because he spews that left-wing horseshit that are outright lies. and same with Seth Myers and these guys are all they're all like I don't know they're like puppets for the DNC and they play a pivotal role because Jimmy has a big audience

and Stephen Colbert and stuff and I just find it took me years to come to this conclusion they're just not themselves but they're peddling this dishonest horseshit and that's the only way I can say what the Democrat Party represents and what they

talk about and how they treat Trump and all the shit that's come out. And I just laugh. I'm flipping through the channels. I see Seth Myers doing a burn on Trump like a couple weeks ago. And it rings so hollow and so stupid. And I just, I don't know how these guys look themselves in the mirror. And Jimmy, I knew Jimmy.

I just stand up on a show and me and I already did a show. And I know what you mean, decent guy. And I usually never let politics change my opinion about. But this transcends politics, what's going on right now. How do you feel about how the media treats Trump and all this resistance that's going on, Adam? How do you feel? I mean, I know you're like me. I don't want to say right-winger, but you're a traditionalist and a common sense guy.

I think that the media just sort of pushed your way right out of any kind of relevance. You know, here's what the media did. they did basically to themselves what an Oprah endorsement does for a candidate now, which is sort of nothing. Right. You know, like it used to be sought after. We needed to get these celebrities together. We need to see we can get Oprah and Megan Markle to give us our blessing before we run for

district's electmen. And then we found out the emperor has no clothes. Nobody cares anymore. You know, you see these, you know, I saw some, I saw some, I saw some, tweet the other day some, I think it was yesterday. It was a headline said, Rolling Stone magazine says Trump. And I'm like, oh, yeah, Rolling Stone magazine. You know, yeah, those are the guys who were talking about horse paste 20 minutes ago, right? They did it to themselves. I used to subscribe to Rolling Stone. I liked Rolling Stone. I would read Rolling Stone. There was a time where if somebody

said, you know, CNN said this or Rolling Stone said that or Los Angeles Times says this or there's a poll from the New York Times, I would have went, oh, wow. Now I go, oh, who cares? And they did it to themselves. And it didn't just happen, though, since Trump's been around. I was arguing this shit. I brought this up many times in my show. My first album, 1995, I think, a 96 called Born This Way, I actually say on Sage,

diversity is our strength is the biggest fucking lie. and I was saying that way before anybody. And it affected my career, like you said, it's going to cost you. Most guys wait until they have a few million in the bank like Bruce Willis or Arnie before they, you know, reveal their true callers. But I couldn't keep my mouth shut. But yeah, it's they did it to themselves. They are, you know, the NBC's ABC, CB.

They are irrelevant, like you say right now. Well, they're like Al Sharpton. Al Sharpton says. know, oh, who cares with the old race hustlers talking about now? You know, Al Sharpton, Al Sharpton's going to boycott Pepsi because they're, they're getting rid of their DEI office. You know, do you think Pepsi cares? Do you think anyone cares?

Yeah. No, you're right. These are all, they're basically, it's like, what it is, is they had a magic wand, but it's out of batteries, and it doesn't do anything anymore. And they get it out, and they still shake it at you, like they're going to turn you into a lizard and put you into the cornfield, but nobody cares anymore. And that's kind of what mainstream media is. And then they do this, now they're having to do this sort of circle back thing where they

have to get up there and explain that they're things they could have done better in hindsight covering Biden or covering Hunter Biden's laptop or covering COVID. And it's like, it's not things that you need to do better. You need to stop fucking lie. They would they just do better. It's stop lying. Hey, folks, if you want to support the show, go to nickdip.com. We have a merchandise page to support the show.

Buy something there nice. We got hats, hoodies, t-shirts, mugs, jogging bras. I said bras. Welcome to Boston. How are you? Pretty good. Can I get a vodka and tonic? Fuck the face.

Hoodies, hats. I hate selling shit. Also, I want to send a personalized video to someone so I can say what you're thinking. I'll say it for you. you don't have to say it. I'll just put my nuts on the camera and just zing zong zinger. Go to shoutout.u.S. They just had a correspondence dinner.

What? A couple nights ago giving each other fucking awards. One guy got an award for admitting that Biden had been declining, but he didn't do it until after that debate. He didn't write the book. right i mean what the fuck nobody should trust and they don't but it runs deeper than that it's not just the news shows i don't want people go

we know the the most of the news media is left they even they don't even try to hide that fact but it's also hollywood and shows that have been on for years like law and order where you haven't seen a fucking black Colin Quinn counted like four seasons or five seasons it's been on for about 30 years Colin counted five or six seasons. There was two black defendants, I think, and the rest of white guys and suits.

And that shit still runs around the clock on TV. And when I see it, I get so furious because I know there's all the people who watch that garbage. And it does affect how they vote. That's different than news. But I'm just saying the Hollywood, right? No, the problem is they announce Biden, who turns out. turned out to be a sort of empty, suited race hustler. But they do, they get Merrick Garland, they trot them out there.

And then he says, white supremacy is the biggest problem this country faces. And then they have to go find it. You know? Yeah. And then and there's two, there's two paths to that. One is you have to find the white supremacy. So wherever you can, abortion clinic protests. Or do a hoax.

Whatever, whatever it is, or do a hoax. And then part two is you have to ignore any act. of violence perpetrated by blacks on whites. And then you get, you can, you can get closer to your goal, but you're going to have trouble find, you're going to have trouble getting to that goal because it doesn't exist. And that's been going on a long time. Um, when it comes to race and the left, I say they, they're the ones who bushed, butchered that issue. Because with all their DEI horseshit, they're the ones had all the PC stuff. And, um, I was the one pointing out years ago, Before I did Opian Anthony,

everybody says the first time they heard me say this. I was the one making fun of how the white guy was portrayed. And this was before I was, before I was on tough crowd, how white people betrayed in the office on commercials and all that horseshit. And it's been going on for so long. A lot of people think all this shit just happened when Trump came down the escalator.

But this has been, you know, this PC stuff and this DEI stuff, whether it's in the form of affirmative action, all this stuff has been around 60 years or so. So, oh, right? Listen. Or more than that, Adam, probably. Well, I can tell you personally, in 1982, possibly 83, living in Los Angeles, I'd graduated high school barely. The economy was in very bad shape. And I could not find a job. And I did not go to college. And so, So I literally found myself just living in my dad's garage, my stepmom's house. And I literally had nowhere to go.

I had no direction. I had no job. I had no anything. And the economy was horrible back then. This is when you joined the Navy, right? I should have. I should have listened to the village people. I was just close to moving into the YMCA.

So you're in the garage. This is amazing. I didn't know this about it. I'm in the garage and I'm literally walking around looking for jobs, like going to liquor stores and supermarkets and trying to put in applications. I need a job, just a job. I was literally mowing lawns trying to make some scratch. Wow.

And there was nothing anywhere. What year? Sorry, what year is this, Adam? This had been 80, 82, 83. Yep. and I walked to the North Hollywood Fire Station because I thought, you know, I played football. I was pretty athletic. Yeah.

I had low self-esteem. I'd go into a burning building. I didn't really care that much about my own personal safety. I really didn't. I still don't. I had no thoughts about personal safety and I was stronger and shit. So I was like, I just walked into that firehouse and I thought, what a job. You get three days on.

three days off. I like hanging out with dudes, you know. I like chili. I like Dalmatians. I like Fuzball. I'm perfect. And I'll do anything. So, and I said, well, I just put in application because you didn't need a college degree or anything. Yeah. And the guy just looked at me and he said, well, don't expect us getting back to you anytime soon. And I said, why not? Because you're white male. We're not hiring white males. We're looking for women, Hispanic, black. We're looking for any, and we're looking for anything but you. And I was like, yeah, but I'm poor. And I need a job, you know.

And you should have said this. If I run out of a burning building, I will be black. Yeah. Yeah. I should have pulled a page out of Liz Warren's playbook. That's a great, but that's a great anecdote you just said, because, I mean, the year, like you said, 82, 83. So, because a lot of people, like I said, think all this stuff, all this angst and all this racial

tension came down. you know, when Trump came down. But you and I know that because of our ages, it's been going on forever. So that's why I was happy when they said enough affirmative accident, enough of that shit. That even surprised me. I didn't think I'd ever see the end of that. You know, it's weird. It's so weird to hear the pro-DEI people try to spin it.

You know, like when we see Sonny Haustin on the view and she's like, DEI is really just about excellence. What's wrong with excellence? Like I like when they I love when they do that kind of stuff and then you go, I don't know. Why the war on excellence? I don't get it.

It's like, it couldn't be more wrong. That's just, it's lowering the standards. This is a rush line that I've been using for years. It's lowering the standards out of fairness. And then you're like, well, fairness to fucking who first? Not to Asian people, not to white people. No. But don't you love?

that they just fuck themselves with their DEI Kamala Harris hire. Yes. Like they, they, they, they fuck themselves with their own

DEI ideology. Yes. They said, we're not even going to look at a vice president who's not female and not black. How's that not right? How's that not prejudice?

Literally the definition of prejudice, but go ahead. Right. Yeah. Definitely shrinks the pool of candidates, right? Yeah. So now,

now it's now it's super super thin so you end up with Kamala Harris who's a dingbat and then she's unleashed upon America and is completely ineffective and sucks and she's the border czar we've been to the border and she's a nut

okay and she's a dingbat and she's a 10 cent head other than that you know but a dear friend other than that and so now they painted themselves in a corner. I mean, it's so poetic. Now, the old middle of the road guy, Joe Biden, who you

painted his middle of the road, who's just a puppet for leftist, who seems more interested in the trans community than he is in world affairs. He's decrepit and your cheap fakes aren't going to be good enough

to deny what kind of state he's in. And now we look at the bench. And on the bench is a dingbat. But she's a dingbat of color that you guys chose. And now you can't go past the woman of color who's vice president because then to what? Find a white guy to run as a candidate because the other guy's an empty husk of a human being. And now they got to run this dingbat.

This dingbat cannot sit down and do a long form interview because she's vapid and empty. would immediately be sussed out, starts lying about everything, including working at McDonald's. I used to work at McDonald's. I used to lie about not working at McDonald's. Now it's in folk. That's a great point. Where was all the McDonald's love when I was trying to get late in the 80s, you know? Really? You want a pussy magnet when you were working that shake machine? Corolla. You didn't work at McDonald's? Never. Why do your cuticles smell like onions all the time? That is a great... They fucked themselves with a very...

They just fuck themselves with the very tool that they've been using as a cudgel for the last 60 years. That really is. I mean, you know, where do you go from there? You just fucking blew up your own, you know, can you imagine a white candidate coming out? First of all, they elected Joe Biden, yet they were screaming for 40 years about old white guys being what the problem is. You know, they elect fucking number one. But can you imagine a fucking white candidate coming out before and saying to pick a vice president. president and go I'm only looking at white males yeah well obviously when you flip the script

on any of this thing any you know whether it's black is beautiful I pointed out anyways I know life's matter yeah if you flip the script it immediately sounds like you're at a clan rally yeah which I've gone to a few they're not that bad the food's uh so so um I live in Georgia um yeah no it's a great point that they blew and Look, you're talking to Adam Carolla. Now you got, Adam, you're still in California, right? Yes. Are you planning on, just on, just, because I know you make money and the taxes aren't good.

Are you planning on moving anytime soon? Yes. We would like to have you somewhere. Where you go? Texas? Nevada. Oh, okay. Yeah.

Okay. Because, I mean, mainly just because it's within striking distance of California, I can go back and forth and family and stuff like that and then has you know no income tax so uh Nevada sounds good. Ah. Is that going to be soon? Um yeah, I'm working on it. I'm building a house. So it's going to take a minute to build it. But yeah. And when Adam says he's building house, you're probably building it yourself, I'm guessing. Uh, I could. I know. I know. And I'm, I do do a lot of that, that kind of work. And it was my former professional. And I think it does help me think in a sort of logical linear way.

If you talk to any builders, there are always our kind of guys. You know, they don't, they're not down with the bullshit and the nonsense and the whatever. Whatever it is, we don't like they're not down with because they have a job. It is a real job and it moves in a linear way. And they create. They actually create something. It creates something. And there's an element of danger in it if you screw up, you know, you could lose a couple fingers, you know.

And it keeps you thinking. in a way that's pragmatic, but builders are the most pragmatic, you know. So, and it's kind of interesting, and they're in a hurry, too. So like when Trump was out here. Yeah. After the fires, he's sitting with DEI poster child Karen Bass, who's the mayor of Los Angeles, right? Yep.

And he, so now you have a career commercial builder in Trump. and a career corrupticrat or whoever it is in Karen Bass, but a process person who knows nothing's never built anything and can't do anything, right? And so Trump's sitting there and he's yelling, let's get those lots cleared off, let's do it tonight, let the guys who own the lots do it themselves again. And she's going, safety, safety, slow it down, safety, slow it down. So that's what you have when you, it was a clash of the Titans.

It was a commercial builder. Commercial builders are like, let's go, let's go, let's go. when we pour in the slap, when the framers showing up, when the roof are showing up, when the drywallers, when, when, when, when, let's go, let's go, let's go. And she's career bureaucrat who's a planner who does what everyone in the LA City Council does, which is just have a meeting about a meeting they had last week and nothing ever happens with more red tape and more we can't get you a permit and all that kind of stuff. So you see her sitting there with no intention of doing anything in the commercial

builder guy going let's get going i know face to face that was great i was sitting home going this is fucking great he was shining a light on the the red like you said the red tape and shit it was fake it was so she's right there and trump saying it right there it was so friggin uh refreshing and uh i think it was mike row and i'm you probably know mike row right the dirty jobs guy he said i think it was his quote it could have come from you but he said this country started to go downhill when the phrase safety first came out. It's a chick mentality.

I don't give a fuck what I mean. That's not a male mentality. My father used to be on a ladder fixing a gas pipe with a cigarette in his mouth. I'm not saying that far but you know what I mean? Nobody he never got hurt. No. I remember I remember like it was yesterday the day

his program director called up when he was on that ladder. He told not to come not to come down or set it different to Paula. I can't I can't keep my story straight. Yeah, that's exactly how that went down. And then I go, I go, how does that work? So the next day, I put on the station,

and it was some weird synthesized, like, fucking out of space music. That's all that was on all there. Yeah. I go, replace me. I don't care if you replace me with two women talking about spatulas. Just don't fucking, you know, it was insane. But you know, radio. It's very unpredictable.

And then I got kids from another job. Yeah. If you replaced me by a station that just played Molly Hatchet 24-7, I probably would have been okay. That's what Kayrock. I could have lived with it. You're right. And that's what K.Rock played. They played Van Halen and shit.

And it was a perfect fit. And then my last job at, you know, at Serious XM, they, you know, ostensibly I was fired for a tweet. Did you read about that one at all, Adam? I think I, I think I did. But I've had so many stories about so much. people get fired. I can't keep them straight. It was right after, there was a lot of mass shootings going on at schools and all that

at schools and shit. There were a few of them right in a row. And then Barbara Bush died. And some Latina professor at like San Jose State went on Twitter and said, good. She raised a bunch of racists, glad she's dead. But this is a professor, by the way. So I tweeted out, I tweeted out. I said,

Dear Future School Shooters, please contain your work to the faculty room at San Jose State, you know, Harvard, blah, blah. Funny. People loved it. I mean, funny fucking joke. And so I got a call for my agent, you know, they, blah, blah. But then later on I went, and you know what, my show jumped piggybacked over two shows at Sirius XM. Like after the first few months, because I was a right-wing guy saying shit they wanted to hear.

and I don't think like any other part of show business, Sirius XM is not exactly right lean. So I think the show got too popular, too quick, and I was a little more than they could handle. I'm trying to get them. Yeah. I'm picturing your agent calling and your wife picking up the phone going, hold on, I'll tell them to get on the ladder.

That's right. Get on the roof this time. Well, Adam, that's... Nick, you up there. Yeah, okay, your agent's got some bad news. It's not... Oh, Tom. Giassano. That was the GM. It's not Tom again, is it? Yeah, he says, get away from the pool, go to the side of the house with the driveway. And did your wife catch you on like when you'd say like, I'm going to put the Santa up early this year? Did you go, don't go up there? We need the income. Exactly. Every time I went to that roof, the phone rang with bad news. I'm going to clean the gutters before the... No! Let's farm it out. Before I let you go, Adam, and I mean, it's nice to...

talking you, man. I haven't seen you a long time. And you put me on, you're nice enough to put me on when I was out there when Rogan used to like me. I don't know what happened. And I appreciate it. I guess that's about it. What's the name of the special? I have a couple things that people want to check it out. I've been doing a vlog of touring Malibu and the Palisades and all the fire devastation that people seem to really like. It's just a behind the scenes view. of incomprehensible devastation. Right. It's interesting.

People seem to like it. You can go to Adamcrolla.com and check that vlog out. And then the stand-up specials called Adam Carolla comes clean. It's on YouTube and it's off a dry bar too. That's very cool that you did that. Real quick, that one of my, you ranted on, I think it was on exit, whatever you call it, Twitter, about right after the fires and the palisades,

ranting about trying to get a permit to rebuild, You were ahead of everybody on that one because you knew about this shit. And that, you were in a hotel, weren't you living in a hotel when you did that? I think somebody told me. Yeah, yeah, I got, well, I got evacuated because I was living in Malibu. So that's why I was in a hotel. But that man is classic. And I was going to see my lady friend later as well.

But either way, I was in a hotel. A lady friend. I love it, man. So I'm sorry, what was the name of a special again? I was too busy. Adam Carolla comes clean. There you go. Adam, great to see you and hear you,

and I catch you on TV all the time. So let's do this again sometime. Please, Nick. Good to see you, Brian. You got it. Take him. You too. The great Adam Carolla, everybody.

Books out, specials, all that stuff. That's it. That's it for a, we don't know what day it is. I'll just tell you that much. That's it. Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls. Camio.com. If you want me to roast a friend Arello, go to camio.com.

I always say that. I need the dough. I'm not rich. Look at this shirt. You guys think it, I'll say it. You're very welcome. We'll see when we see you. Take care.

Hi. Good night, everybody.
