Come up first, we have Adam Krohlisho, 2535 Patrick Dempsey, Neil Douglas Tyson, RJ Bell, not in this portion. Gina Grad and Brian Bishop from 2019. Good day Gina Grad. Good day to you. Paul Bryan. Come on guy, you don't need to do that. Yeah, we talked to Neil and it's weird. There's a weird confluence of energy around energy, which is I know things work that way, but I was talking to, I was a little surprised and I'll share this with you guys in a second. Excited to see Dempsey in here. It's been a while. Edman, go to medman.com, LifeLock, LifeLock.com, and Geranum. Bet DSI, bet DSI.com, and Castrol Edge. So it was chatting with Neil DeGrasse. And he's a very liberal-minded guy and I sort of drew an eye before he hopped on the line. We're sort of discussing green new deal and nuclear energy and blah, blah, blah. And Drew is very much for nuclear energy as a my because of every time I interview a guy who's super smart, he goes, yeah, that's fine. It works. That's what Europe does. It's a good thing. But then it's always seems to be off the table when you discuss it with someone. So I sort of almost a little sheepishly brought it up with Neil DeGrasse Tyson because I thought he's going to go, well, slow your roll. And he was like, yeah, nothing wrong with that. That works good. We're not doing it, but it's good. It works good. And so we have this problem in that we have this solution to a large part of our energy problems that everyone with an advanced degree thinks is a great idea, but everyone else thinks it's a bad idea. Well, it doesn't sound good and we have bumper stickers to prove it. Yeah, we have no new. So you know, that scientific proof that it doesn't work. So put the word no in front of an abbreviation for nuclear and what are you going to do now? It's unfortunate that us share the same nuclear, the word nuclear with nuclear weapons because nuclear power is not exactly the same thing, but you get some green in your head. Nuclear weapons are bad. Well, nuclear power was a bad. It's right up there with fat and work. People don't like both that say because of the name. No thanks. People don't realize fat doesn't make you fat and work can be fine. It doesn't have to all be hard work or drudgery or anything. Anyway, so I was talking to him about that. And then at some point somebody sent me a TED talk about it earlier today. Can you test those commies? Although we're really talking about it before. And then somebody reached out to you, Gina Grad, about it as well. Somebody was in the Navy for a million years. Oh, yes, that's right. There are business. He has a lot of thoughts about this. So, well, and again, this is all just kind of coming together in real time. I thought, so I'll play the Neil deGrasse Tyson 60 second clip with me in a very horse, Dr. Drew. It's really bad. Nuclear energy. We'll see what that sounds like. You're wind solar. That's on the horizon, but we're not there yet. How about it? Yeah, so interesting. University of Oxford has a new professorship, new in the last decade or so. A professorship of the public understanding of risk. A risk? That's not the name of a professorship. And when you look at how much, how tolerant we have been of the health and life disasters that mining coal has brought upon civilization in the last 150 years, tens of thousands of deaths, hundreds of thousands of deaths in the process of digging for coal, mining coal, the lung deaths, the breathing deaths that have come about from it, we somehow accept that. And you get intermittent nuclear accidents with a death hole far less than that, and then people react and want to ban all nuclear. The point is, if we understood risk more rationally, we'd be making very different decisions in our lives. Yeah, sort of. I won't let my kid go to a house with a handgun, but a swimming pool, no problem. Like, okay, but understand risk, because we all want the same thing, which is clean energy or not having a kid die. This is a great way to look at the world. I didn't realize it was happening at our in Oxford, but understanding what the risk involved is. And it worked the risk. And air travel is worth the rest. Rant of the risk is pretty low, but it's a perfect example, not exactly as you use it, but it's a perfect example, which is people are scared to fly with little to no risk. So why? Why are, and of course, to ride to the airport is more dangerous, which everyone feels safe about. So it's a perfect example in that, yes, you should simply run it through crunch the numbers and then get on the plane or drive to Arizona. So say automobiles are the ultimate example, still leading cause of death, and we all have all decided it's worth it. There is a risk. It's small, but it's worth it, because you need to get this. But this is, this is even, there's two sides of it. One is it's we've assumed the risk in driving and decided it's worth it. The other is people have elevated the risk of flying higher, pardon the pun, than an automobile. So we're going to choose to drive to Phoenix, because we don't want the risk of flying, which is dangerous. Right. So what we need to do is literally look at the numbers and then just move forward, call versus nuclear, natural gas or whatever, what do we have? And then people can go, well, but what about solar? And as I was watching this TED talk that someone sent me today, like, okay, but think about all the heavy metals and everything that are in solar panels. And think about when those things outlive their life. And think about where they're going to end up. They're going to end up at some shore and some African nation. Kids barefoot kids are going to be picking them apart to get the heavy metals out of them, and they're going to be polluting the sea. Like, first off, this notion of, we make a mistake. One thing is like, we look at one thing is completely free. Like solar, wind, free. It's new, it's dangerous. And it's like, right, and the reality is, is whether it's a electric car, it's still got batteries and it still needs to be charged. And it's not free. It's not one isn't free in the others making Indians cry. There's many other possibilities to factor in. Well, and this is just like your blind puppy tennis ball employer, you know, it's the same thing. We love the idea of wind and we love the idea of the sun. So what's to argue about? Well, there's plenty to still discuss. But I think, and I don't know if you guys have thought about this. So we have, it's been floated a little. I think because everything has been politicized, every direction that we can no longer trust politicians to make informed decisions. If you are for the green new deal and for ecology and for the ozone and for everything else, you must be against nuclear. Right. You should embrace it for those same reasons. A more nuanced take would be possible. And you may, but you can't come out and say that. Someone's going to throw a shoe at you. So now you have to go here and here's not going to work. And so now we don't get any of the benefits that were or very little the benefits we're looking for. We have a, the guy says Michael Schellenberger is that who I'm thinking of, uh, Max Banner trying to read here. He's on the TED talk that somebody sent sent me. He's an energy expert named hero of the environment by Time magazine. I dress like that. Look, I, when it comes, look, whether it's, uh, whether it's the wall or not the wall or surveillance or school vouchers or, or nuclear, whether it's Donald Trump or Akasio Cortes. We want these lunatics for making, making these plans. So why don't we just get a little group together and go, Hey, school vouchers work or don't they? If they do, let's give it a shot and this new work or the wall, not going to work good. No wall. Just get, just get the group at the border, the group at the school, the group at the whatever, nothing. Not jobs that have a, have an agenda. Why would they be right about anything? I'm going to, you're going to like this. Just like your idea for, you know, weeding out the dads to the kids of the Mount Pinos, the, the Cubscauts. That a vile. Who wants to, Hey, everyone, who wants to be involved in politics? Who wants to be involved in making decisions? First hands that go up, you're out. You're not being, Neil, it's a grass test and you're dressed and you got the back and get back to your planetarium. Get in here. You know, we start, doesn't start to lay there. People who, who are the self-selecting sample, people who want to be in politics are quite often the worst people to be involved in. And then almost, almost by trade have no, you know, your last job was bartender. Like, I mean, some of these people are professional politicians. Have no job. Like they've never started, they've never started a business. They never, there, there's some politician. I can't think of who was Max a Pat. And I don't remember what side he was on, but he was in politics for a number of years. Semi recently got out of politics and started a business in the private sector. And he said, if I knew how difficult I was making it on all these people that were trying to start a business, I would have said no to a lot of this stuff. Like, yeah, of course, you're over here saying no to everything. And you have no idea what it's like to be on the other end who has to deal with all this, this stuff. Anyway, we have a clip from this guy's Ted Talk and he saw about France using nuclear and comparison to Germany. And I'll say for you other things, it's two minutes. Now, you might think, well, dealing with climate change is just going to require that we all pay more for energy. That's what I used to think. But consider the case of France. France actually gets twice as much of its electricity from clean, zero emission sources than does Germany. And yet France pays almost half as much for its electricity. How can that be? Well, you might have already anticipated the answer. France gets most of its electricity from nuclear power, about 75% in total. And nuclear just ends up being a lot more reliable, generating power 24 hours a day, seven days a week, for about 90% of the year. We see this phenomenon show up at a global level. So for example, there's been a natural experiment over the last 40 years, even more than that, over in terms of the deployment of nuclear and the deployment of solar. You can see that at a little bit higher cost, we got about half as much electricity from solar and wind than we did from nuclear. Well, what does all this mean for going forward? I think one of the most significant findings to date is this one. Had Germany spent $580 billion on nuclear instead of renewables, it would all be a little already beginning 100% of its electricity from clean energy sources and all of its transportation energy. Now, I think you might be wondering, and it's quite reasonable to ask, is nuclear power safe? And what do you do with the waste? Well, those are very reasonable questions. Turns out that there's been scientific studies on this going over 40 years. This is just the most recent study that was done by the prestigious British medical journal Lancet, finds that nuclear power is the safest. It's easy to understand why, according to the World Health Organization, about 7 million people die annually from air pollution, and nuclear plants don't emit that. As a result, the climate scientist James Hanson looked at it, and he calculated that nuclear power has already saved almost 2 million lives to date. Turns out that even wind energy is more deadly than nuclear. This is a photograph taken of two maintenance workers in the Netherlands shortly before one of them fell to his death to avoid the fire, and the other one was engulfed in flames. Now what about environmental impact? Well, I think a really easy way to think about it is that uranium fuel, which is what we use to power nuclear plants, is just really energy dense. About the same amount of uranium as this Rubik's cube, can power all of the energy that you need in your entire life. All right. Now here's the alternative, because we have to offer the alternative viewpoint. In 1973, my mom and Martin Sheen and Happy and Sunshine and Axis and Zorbach took a hit off a doobie and pronounced no nukes. So there's your counter argument, and that's why we cannot have the understand. I do. I've presented both sides of the coin very even handedly. It's very 50-50. It came into this neutral, but I've been convinced by your mom's out here. Zorbach and the doobie, Zorbach, the original zigzag man says no nukes. And this guy was, he attended multiple junior colleges before he had to be. Not just one like a jump. Yeah, before the hydroponics bust from 1979. So he knows what he's talking about. Okay. So here we are. Yes, I get this guy kneel to grass Tyson and to let him figure it out. So is there going to be or maybe there is now a PR group that is trying to turn around what people think of nuclear? They did it for the avocado. Oh my God. I know everyone's eating avocado. I got the, I had on it reminded me. Christy, we got a new opportunity for you. And I'll speak right to you. You know, I don't know. I've been listening to a bunch of dumb people explain they don't feel good about something. Is that really that's enough for policy? Kind of need to get in there. I agree. It's neither here nor there. I'm not interested that you don't feel good about something. You don't like the sound of that. Like, okay, now then shut up or go in the room and shut the door, drown yourself in the tub. Like do something where we don't, we're not getting what we want or what we want. No, sorry. But we need because you're basically a superstitious, gypsy woman from the, from 2000 years ago. Why are we listening? Why are we listening? Just get the smart people. Let them weigh in. Every, we had the guy, Munoz, you know, much of a ball ball. I can't ever say. For five hour energy guy was sitting right here with the bike. Yeah, three or four years ago. And I was just talking about nuclear. I was like, it's a good idea. It's too bad. Well, no one will accept it. Like, all right, another smart guy who was coming up with alternative energy sources that we're not going to drinkable three ounce energies. Yes. I'll play you. Munoz, just because it's funny. It's 90 seconds from a few. This is from 2015. Nuclear. Nuclear, there's some, there's a, there's a real problem that's emotional with it. You know that I know I tell it's I tell everybody. It's it's it's, you know, nobody's going to allow it in my backyard. No, could you put it in Japan, please? I know, but then they, they just burn coal. Look, I know that, but every problem, even if it's emotional is real, unfortunately, if you can't do it, if they won't allow you, people won't allow you to do it, then you can't do it. You're not going to answer them. You're, you're being incredibly pragmatic about other people's inability to be pragmatic. But that's it's reality though. Right. In other words, if they won't allow it, then it's not a solution yet. To me, I always tell my guys, I said, look, if there's a, if you say, well, everything works, but all you got to do is eat less and exercise more. Well, nobody's doing it. Just so I can yell at my friends, we could do it, right? Absolutely. Absolutely. But the real problem is, the problem is you get one of those like, happens in Japan. Yes. Like, no, I mean, I think, I think is how many people die in coal mines every year. I know, but look at it this way. We say that intellectually, but if somebody said, I'm going to put a nuclear right next to your house about a mile away, would you be okay with it? I would. But that's me. Look, I wouldn't want to live to any, I wouldn't want to be next to any facility, be it up. It's not like I wouldn't want to be next to a prison, not because I thought people were going to break out and steal my clothes on the laundry. Oh, yeah. And start new life. Right. And start a new life. I just wouldn't like living next to a prison. About that. Same way I wouldn't like living next to it. I don't know. I wouldn't want to live next to a magic mountain. I don't think I'd like to live next to a facility of any kind. But, uh, Monos has pledged 99% of his net worth to help the world's less fortunate, or billion net worth. All right, put him in with Neil de Grasse and we'll listen to these intellectually honest souls speak about science. I do have a possible solution though when we talk about, you know, PR and stuff, all you have to do is rename it. Call it something else. Nuclear. That's the thing in the past. If you just, if, uh, fudge the letters a little bit, put them in a different order, you get clear new. Oh, that's good. You get real, Cune. Yes. This is a real viable thing for stupid people to latch onto. What would be the danger? What a clear knew. What if a politician just said, look, I'm not a scientist. Uh, I'd like to clean up the atmosphere and the drinking water and stuff. I'm going to consult with some of the world's best. And when they, when they render a decision, that's, that's the direction we'll go. Everyone down with that. Are there any scientists in here want to disagree? Like, I'm not an expert. You're not an expert. I'm here to implement good ideas. I'm not here to implement my own ideas. I'm here to implement good ideas. And this one has a lot more moving parts because this is a specialized area. Right. This isn't good vibes. This is voltage. Right. So how do we do it? I'm going to ask the experts and good news. I'm going to Sweden. I'll go to, I'll go to, I'll go to, I'll go to your, some of your favorite countries and ask them what they're doing and how it's worked out for them. And then what does implement what they say? And you won't get to blame me. I'm just conveying what they said. I think I feel like we could do that with, with most everything that mechs us. Yes. I think you're honest, I think a problem with, well, one of the many problems with a lot of politicians is we get too wrapped up in the cult of listening to their ideas. What are your ideas on this? What are your ideas on that? How are you going to solve this problem? The best idea is I have no idea. I'm going to get a bunch of experts, convene a panel and then we'll go with whatever the bet. Why is that so hard for politicians to say? I understand that I have no idea part, maybe it's a little silly, but like, you know what, I'm going to get some experts. We're going to get together, put our heads together and come over the best solution. We will do, maybe we'll do a little pushback or a little twist on Martin Luther King. I have a dream, which is I have no idea. I have no dreams. I went to the mount top and I got lost and I started, I feared and I saw a bird. I was looking at me. And so I came across an elder and I asked him and he had early onset dementia or something because that guy had cracked himself. He came across that elder. Yeah, yeah. So then I came back down the mountain. He came down the mountain. I was scratching my head the whole time. No more educated than what he left. I had no idea. Someone handed me a map. I held it upside down. Could've read the map. I had no idea. The blue lines are rivers. I jumped in my car. I punched when I thought was a garment. It was not. It was rep, sorry. It's not a daily technology. Outdated technology. I drove in a circle until I ran out of fuel. I got no idea. Eventually, dejected, I went home to the wrong house. It's not going to the neighbor's door. Try to bang a stranger. She was wearing a house coat. It wasn't like my wife when it was the same color. No, ma'am. So I headed back out to walk in a circle on my own lawn until eventually I was overtaken by heat prostitution and I passed out. Need hydration. Hydration solves prostration. And I woke up the next day. And somebody handed me one of those wooden cups with a wooden ball in the string on the end of it. I'd be goddamned if I could get that ball into that cup. After 128 times of lactic acid built up my right arm, and I set it down, I walked away. Hufflecrap. Couple title. And so when handed me the New York Times Crossword puzzle. Monday or Friday. I made it into a boat. I'm fashion into a boat. I put it down and I waited for water. But none of the neighbors were hosing their driveway. Intervention. Intervention, so eventually. I got back in my car and I hid in the circle again. And eventually I came upon a Japanese man. Kind of clock was. And I asked him what the answers were. He didn't speak a lick English. Tried to sell me Dodgers tickets. So I kept them walking. And I got to a stream. And I couldn't find a way around it. More of Brooke. So I began to weep. And at that point, as I was defecating in my shorts and weeping, I realized I had no answers. So I reached out in my friend Neil deGrasse Tyson. Just a grassy. And Monos, whatever's last name is invented five hour or four hour or three hour, how would I know? Energy drain. Monos something. And I said, you guys. You guys getting that sweat lodge? And don't come out till I have an idea. It's powerful hot. And when they emerge, they tongue kiss me. And I had an idea. Didn't see that coming. Took a turn from the homo rider. And that idea was nuclear power. He's been to the mountain. I've been to the mountain. I got confused on the mountain. Can't you have to memorize that in fifth grade? Yes. Let's talk to the speech when as far as I'm called. So yeah, I think what's going on in the cult of personality is you can't say whether you're a politician or you're your Mussolini or Hitler, whoever you are. You can't go, oh, I don't know the way. You got to go, oh, I know the way. It's this. You follow me. And if you hear anyone say I don't know the way, that's because they're evil. It's not because I don't know the way because that's the new thing. And you go and, well, I'll just go check with my group of experts leads us to go, what do we need you for? Yeah, you're not the profit. Just checking with the guys. I can do that. Yeah, sort of like not doing it, but yeah, at a certain point, there's a little of that disgust rate to ebay and buy my car. I won't have to deal with the used car light. Like they're probably kissing themselves there. All right. Thank you for the assist there, Brian, and Gina Graham. Oh, God damn that was funny. Let's see, Patrick Dempsey coming in, wants you to talk to him about. You're old, Dutty. My old buddy lived down the street for me. See, I can't remember if we talked about our trip to Home Depot, but we'll see how much of that he remembers. I'll update, don't be so. I'm my my my my my my my my key to drill 18 volts. I cheat myself out of six volts. I did it was funny when you said 12 volt, and I was like, that's a little low. And then you said, well, what's the average? I was like, 18 is about the average in 28 fours. Like, hi, you did have the everybody. Don't round down. Perfectly. Right down the middle. Let me tell you guys about Mid-Ment 2019 is upon us. Finally, the moment when a product and once drove good people to the black market has now been revealed is one that's creating a global market, one that's inspiring symbol of counter culture. Long last, it is Med-Man. No longer counter culture, it's just culture. It's a new normal. It's arrived. And they have a credible two minute presentation for you to take a look at Spike Jones with a Z. Everyone inspired by the original Spike Jones, so we found out. It's got the new normal, which leaves behind 80 years of unjust prohibition and favor of a safer, happier place. You can watch a video and experience a new normal at medmen.com. It's an incredible, incredibly crafted video. I think we're going to appreciate it. Put your phone down. Don't be distracted. Watch it. It's just a few minutes and it's worth it. At medmen.com. All right, let's see. Oh, eat your feelings. Yeah. We had that from yesterday. I can. It was delicious if I remember you saying to rich. It was good. Well, I mean, almost. Almost. It was really, really good. And you can't guild the lily a little bit here because in. And so, OK, good point. Eat your feelings. There were four empty plates here by the end. We loved it. But here's, I'm going to bring up this point. In a world where, use as much butter, use as much cheese, use as much meat, have as much olive oil, have as much fat. It's a little slippery slopey in that you can make something that is incredibly rich. And I have found, like Olga Sermon, who was just running, Olga made some sort of kind of a stewie kind of scoop it on, chicken, e-vechabal sort of NSNG thing the other day. And like it was good. But when I created this sort of base of cauliflower, not cauliflower rice, just a base of baked cauliflower and I ladle it over, much like having the pasta with the sauce. Like you got to be careful. Sometimes you don't just eat the sauce. Right. So there's some. I'll rinse it out. And I found everyone does the cauliflower rice, but just baked cauliflower and it gets good scrumptious and you ladle whatever over the top of it. It cuts it. Delictable. So what did you, do you have the recipe? Do you have an intro? Yes, I do. She could not stop beating. She'll go in the grave. Then I'll friend Betty Hilton. Lose the weight she gained. She's cold. Healthy meals at night and ever since then. Her clothes aren't as tight. It's time for each of feelings. Do some healthy eating with jealous recipes. So I hate radishes. I've hated them my entire life. They're spicy. They're bitter. They're not for me. And I was watching something and people someone said, you know, you could almost sub those out instead of new potatoes in your pot roast. And I thought, huh? Yeah. So I'm starting to think radishes might be the next rice cauliflower. They take on a lot of the flavors with stuff you put them with. The texture becomes adjacent to potato like if you don't try too hard to think about them as interchangeable. And I think there might be something there. So I've been experimenting with radishes. Again, a vegetable I don't care for. And I thought, well, everybody likes something that's been ogrottened. Why not the radish? I got to say in a world where it's a little more about consistency and texture than it is about flavor, that radish took on the new potato more so than other vegetables that we're trying to get to conform. I think so. And that's just something that I wanted to kind of play with, because other people are more familiar with the radish than I am. Because again, I'm not a fan. This is from my website, grainfreecomfortfood.com. I'm loving taking the pictures and having fun with that. So I thought, what could we do with this? I really don't know. So I decided to do to make my own more nae sauce, which is a beshamel when you add cheese. Just a cheesy, rich cheesy sauce. And just sort of do it, you scoop a little down on the first part of the pan. Then you layer it with radishes. And then I did a little sauteed onion. And then I thought, what would be a meat that would work that's not bacon? So I did a thin sliced Canadian bacon just to have some substance to it since this is supposed to be a one pot dinner meal. And just kept layering it. I found that I think the reason, well, one of the reasons it was rich is because it's rich. The second reason is for you guys. For you guys, I brought it in a very high pot. So I layered it four times, as opposed to the two times I had done before. So that would definitely cause twice the richness. But I think it's working. And I made a radish stew the other day with kale. It was delicious. So I'm excited about not hating this vegetable. They're a radish curl. Yeah, that I once that was disgusting. The texture is that of the new potato, smaller side. Cutting a quarter size medallions. Once it drinks in all this flavor, you're biting it and you're going, what is this? You don't think radish because it seems confusing. And it has a strong flavor normally, although you've cooked it all out of it. So you just kind of have this thing that you're eating these little potato medallions. And I would say that is a bit of a breakthrough. If I can give two tips that I learned, A, roasting them with a little toss it with a little olive oil and salt and pepper, delicious. Like little radish chips were very good and takes out a lot of the bitterness. Also, I learned this by accident. I was rinsing them and just threw them all in a big bowl to deal with later in a big cold water bowl. And I went to get them and all the water was gone. I was like, oh no. So all the radishes had soaked up all the water. And since I've never worked with them before, I thought, oh, hell, what did I do? Turns out soaking up that water makes them a little softer, makes them a little more pillowy and decreases that bitterness by, I'd say, 90%. Oh, yes, sir. So let them soak in a bowl of cold water if you're not a fan of the taste. And try radish, oh, grotton. I think it's going to change your mind about the radish. Grained free, comfortfood.com is my new website. And you can sign up for the newsletter. Do some healthy things. Would you rest the peace? All right. Let's see. I got Demsi coming in. I got some sort of interesting about his, he's done a documentary on a hurly, called Hurley. It's called Hurley Haywood. He's a five time, 24 hours a day. Tona winner is a three time limon winner. He's one of, how many times? Three times full. That's a lot of winning at those unwinnable races. And there he is right now. So bring him in in a second. I was going to make fun of Dr. Drew. But now that's, Oh, time to, now that's evergreen. That's evergreen. Well, we'll do that. I very much enjoyed Hurley the doc. And it's kind of interesting as I'm looking at Patrick now through the glass. I just finished a doc called Updey on Willie T. Ribb. So we both were simultaneously making a doc about Hurley Haywood as gay. So we were both making this about marginalized documentaries about racing, but two guys stories within the racing one African American one gay and the sort of struggles as it pertained to that very, one one side machismo sport and white guy sports. So we're sort of kind of working on the same project simultaneously. Dempsey is here, the great Patrick Dempsey, excited, seem-elde friend. We'll take a quick break. We'll bring him in studio right after this. And now, Sunny Corolla reads a tweet from James Woods. Hashtag Democrats are the party of voter fraud in fantasize and socialism. And they still bitch slap the Republicans like street pimps. Why is the GOP so soft? Now, back to the Adam Corolla show. It's these 12 Patrick. It's high time he learned how life works. Yes, one of those. Thank you very much for that little invitation. Patrick Dempsey in studio, the documentary Hurley available on digital and on demand. Coming up March 26th at this Tuesday, I'm very much enjoyed this documentary. I knew a little about Hurley Haywood, but I did not know as much as I know now. So congratulations. Thank you very much. It's been five years to get this thing done. It's an interesting, I mean, there's so many great stories out there, but it's perfect for Patrick. Because Patrick loves racing. He loves endurance racing. He loves limon, Hurley Haywood between Daytona and limon seabring his legend. And the story is he was gay the whole time, but he couldn't, couldn't come out. Yeah, and he had a partner for over 20 years. And you know, it was a fascinating journey for him to be able to compartmentalize that. And then he shows up at the track and he's able to perform. And then everybody was good. He was sort of people knew about it, but no one really talked about it. They gave him enough respect for that. And then he wanted to talk about it. His partner, I mean, he had a partner, and then he had a racing partner named Peter Greg, who of course was a womanizing sort of Jim Rockford meets Pimp kind of guy. And I don't know. And then people thought they were gay for a little while, which wasn't true. And then tragically, Peter Greg is driving partner. You have to have an endurance racing. Ended up killing himself at some point. After an extreme accident at Lamar, right? That's right. He had rolled the car over at Lamar, going to the track and never really fully recovered. Must have been quite a bit of brain damage in there, with what we've learned now, with what's been happening with the impact with football players, that it threw him off completely was never able to drive again. And because that really lost his identity and never recovered. He was a dominant race car driver who built his world around dominating this, or they called him Peter perfect. He just won so much. And then all of a sudden, he gets in his accident, and he loses it. And he just can't cope with not being that person anymore. And he literally just kills himself. Yeah, couldn't handle it. It's such a tragic story. So and Hurley Haywood's going strong. I don't know how old he is. He looks great. He's fantastic. He was out here for the Premier of the other night at the Peterson. And he's slowing down a little bit, but he's really open, really positive. And it's been a great experience for him to be able to talk about this, to come out, if you will. And I'm happy that he's doing so well. And his partner Steve is doing great too. So it's good. I know you're running. Your team runs Daytona and Le Mans. You're running the... We're doing the Wex. So we're doing the World Endurance Championship. Right. But you're not driving in it. Is that correct? Correct. Yes. You've done Le Mans four times. Yes. And I think you finished up on the podium, second place in class in 2015. Was that... And then we won last year as a team owner. So finally got that... Right. So is that for you sort of dream realized with Le Mans? With Le Mans, yes. I think so. I think I won as far as I could go with my ability. You know, if I was younger, had less responsibility, I'd probably still be at it and trying, but you know, you just get to a point where I say, you have to commit completely and focus on it 100%. Right. And with kids and commitments, other places is very hard for me to justify that. It hasn't phased out. Mm. It's... You know, I mean, I'd love to do so. I'm going to get back into some sprint races and things like that for me to do endurance racing now. I don't... Yeah, it's such a... Especially in the WEC, you're traveling around the world and you're going all the time. You... We used to be almost neighbors. You always had a Rhodesian Ridgeback. That's right. You'll still have a Rhodesian Ridgeback? No, I have... French Bulldogs now, two French Bulldogs, and then a Rescue. I remember... I miss my Ridgeback. I always... I always remember Patrick Back. You know, the thing I like about following your career and all the different variations and iterations of the career including racing is... It's a good time we're living in because it wasn't like I knew you when you were 19. I knew you when you were 34. But you still then went on to do Lema and do become a Dr. McDremey. And you know, you got to be everything after that point. Like, you had a whole second life. I feel like maybe I was the springboard. I was the back you stepped on. No, not inspiration. I'm physically the person you crawled over to spring yourself to the next stratosphere of success. It all changed when you helped me pick my first toolbox and my life changed for the better at that moment. It was a long succession of Patrick borrowing tools for me. And I think you lived down the street. You had a place that needed some help. Yes. And so you did a lot of... You got a cordless drill. You have a foreign one screwdriver. You have a sawzall. And at some point, I think I said, let's go shopping. Yes. And we went to the Home Depot in Hollywood. We did. I remember that. And we got the cart and we're running around the aisles. Picking out stuff. It's like you got to pick that out yourself. I can't help you there. You got your choice. It's a very oldie one. It was. It was a transcended moment. Well, I do. I have kind of a base kit of what every guy should have. Or gal, if you're needing to take care of your place, like you need this somewhere. And you're going to... Certain things that you need to keep your house operating smoothly. So Patrick just pushed the cart up and down the aisle and I've just started throwing stuff into it. And I'm hoping you still have some of those. I do. I actually still have that toolbox, by the way. I still have it. I still should. It's got stickers all over it now. I don't... You were at that time doing... We're talking about 1998 or something like that. You were working, but you weren't on a regular on a series. I don't think you're doing some movies. You're kind of... I don't know. It'll all... Yeah, I was just a working actor. I was getting gigs here and there and going off and doing something that would really pop or do anything. And it was a Grey's Anatomy that really... I don't know what's a kick started because you had a lot of success early on and then you became a sort of actor, just a working actor and then you became a star again. Yes. So Grey's... We had shot most of the first season and then we were a mid-season replacement and I remember it came out in January 2005, something like that. And then the first time I realized that everything had changed. I went to Indy and did the Parade lap. And that's when I was like, good God, everybody knows this show right now. And it changed virtually overnight. After 15 years in the business. And so taking a team to Le Mans, tell me about that process. First off, just physically staying up for 24 hours. That's... It seems fine if you're on drugs. It's kind of a tough fight, like in general. The race starts at four in the afternoon and... It's not the whole week. I think you have to remember it's like... It's at the same level as Indy. It's in the... Indy used to be when we were growing up. It was like the whole month of June, right? So it was... There's one long event. At Le Mans, you come in on the weekend, the week before and do scrutiny ring in the parade. And you have an entire week of activities and testing and then you do qualifying and then you have the parade and then you have the race. So by the time the race starts, you've been up for a solid week. So you're happy to get the race started so you can go back and rest before you get into the car for the first time. Did you physically, in between the three drivers, you all take shifts? What would you do during your downtime? Presumably you have two shifts worth of rest. You could get in, but I don't know how you could go to sleep in that instance. It's really hard to get a sleep. You go back and you sort of... You go back to... You have like a little camper or something that you hang out in and you watch the race, you listen to the race and you have the radio in there so you can hear what the engineer is saying to the driver. You know what's happening with the strategy. And you try to just calm your mind and conserve your energy if you can. It isn't really that bad until the following day, you've gone through the night, you feel good, the sun comes up and you still have a long way to go. It's a short night. Daytona is a much longer night race in many ways, much tougher in that respect. Because it gets dark at what time in the light, at what time in Daytona? Daytona is getting dark in the afternoon, around 4.35. The race starts and then you're racing through the night. And in Le Mans, it's in June, so you have maybe four or five hours where it's dark. And that's when it all goes down. That's when the race really begins. And it starts... It rains often times there too. It starts dark in its rainy. It starts raining and you know the entire... The pressure mentally is much more demanding than it is physically. Because everybody's watching this race. This is the race that if you get into racing and certainly in Tiven, during this racing, it's the race you want to win. The race you really want to do well at. And as a team owner, how does the rest work on the 24 hours of Lamar or 24 hours of Daytona? Because now as a driver you go, okay, you have two shifts, you've got four hours or three hours or whatever long... How long was the shift when you did your... You would do doubles and sometimes the pro drivers, it's broken up in a gold silver and bronze, the gold being the best driver. Like Patrick Long, who's an... It's a factory Porsche driver. Right. And he would do the triples at night and then you'd come in, you'd do a single or double depending on the minimum drive time that you have to have, is it six, seven hours. And you get in the car, you do your stint, you usually come in, do a full fuel load, probably don't change the tires, the Michelin tires work really well, so you could triple stint those tires. And then you go back out. You get out of the car, you go, you shower, you eat, go to the physio, you get a massage, and then you just try to calm down. Patrick would always fall asleep. So we always had to wake him up. He was so relaxed, he's done it so many times that it's much easier for him. But for the Am drivers, it's a little bit more challenging to keep yourself focused. Yeah, because of the adrenaline. And as a team owner, can you wander off and take a nap? No, for me, it was really... Last year, I never left the pit. I would go, I would get something to eat, go to the bathroom, and then I'd come back and I stayed there the entire 24 hours, which was a great experience. Really loved that. Because you're getting in and you're listening to the entire race, and you're there in the garage, you're keeping the team focused for the pit stops, because you can't make a mistake at this level, even in a 24 hour race. If you make one mistake that can cost you track position and ultimately a chance it winning the race. Before it was mechanical, a lot of mechanical issues would break you, but not anymore. Well, as I understand it from talking to some of the guys who have done it, which is... And I talked to Gernie about Dan Gernie about this and stuff like that, which is... In the past, a big part of the strategy was saving the car. So it was a 24 hour race. She cannot destroy the equipment in the first three hours. So he would talk about going down the Mulsana straight and his GT40 and going 225 miles an hour, but then he'd have to get on the brakes, but he wouldn't get on the brakes. He would like coast and downshift and let the guy in the Ferrari pass him. So he was driving in such a fashion where he was trying to go fast, but to a limit, also thinking about the equipment. Now the equipment is so good now and all the oils are synthetic and everything works. Now these guys can drive at nine and a half, 10s versus six and a half or seven, 10s. So you go, well, that's good. The car doesn't break, but in terms of your concentration, you're now driving like you're in a sprint race for 24 hours. Yeah, quality. Basically they're running qualifying laps the whole time. They're going as fast as they can. The big challenge is the multiple classes. So there's the prototypes, you know, LMP2, which is slightly slower, sort of has that body style of the prototypes and then GT. So you have the pro GTs and then the pro M. So there's four cars that you're battling out there. You know, and trying to stay out of each other's way and you have your own individual races and you have your overall race. But in a GT car, you're constantly watching in your mirrors to make sure you're not getting in anybody's way. Yeah, people don't realize that those guys are going, even as fast as you're going, they're going fast there and they're racing and they're having a little race within their class. And it's also the hardest chargers of the group. Like you don't, you don't get yourself into that group because you're chillax or your mom's side of the family's Jamaican or you like to play a little spleaf and listen to some Bob Marlick. If you're in the fastest class out there, be prepared for some pretty aggressive driving. Just it's a self-selecting group, right? So it's like that guy who's trying to stay on the same lap as the guy who you just made room for down the Mulsana straight has a guy behind him and he's going to try to squeeze through that opening too. Exactly because they're going to use the GT cars a pick. And you're going to use the prototype as a pick too. If you've got somebody behind you and you're racing for position, you're going to give that prototype some room to get in the corner and then you're going to shut the door and try to get a little distance out of the corner so you get some space between you and the person chasing you down. Right, you got someone on you and you can get someone between the two of you. It helps a lot. Oh, I see. That's the most fun is when you're working in traffic and you've got so much going on. It's nighttime and you know, you're in fighting for a position. It's like there's nothing else like it. Nothing at all like it. Well, there is a downside to it. Yes, I'll tell you the potential downside. Max Pat, I don't know why this is reminding me of, but I think when I did the Rolex Astorics about four, five years ago, it's driving Newman's car. Whenever the one I went off the track and got covered and gravel, it's because I was at the Dotson, right? That was the Dotson. Yes, Nissan technically, but I was chasing a guy in a 9, RSR, 934, whatever, some iteration of a Porsche. And I was like, we just went through the Corkscrew and I was like, I'm staying with this guy and a guy in a 914, 6 who we were laughing was like, I'm going to slide in and I'm like, if this guy gets in between me and this guy's going to cause some separation because even if the guy slides in between you for six or seven seconds, you'll see the guy in front of you just take off. Like you just immediately go, oh, I'm pacing it down to the speed of a guy who we're laughing. So he's off that pace and I'm going to have to stay behind him until we find a little room where I can safely get around him. So you tend to want to try things to get around him initially. It's like a supermarket door that's closing and your guy ran into the galsons and you're like, I got to get behind him before I get behind the old lady and the old lady's got the, she got the scooter cart and she's sliding like, I got to stay behind this guy. And sometimes the old lady sees you and gives you room. Sometimes she doesn't see you. What's the lady doing in racetrack? The metaphor. I'll let Max a pad to try to find that. I got it. Oh, sad as me that it was that easy for you to find. All right, hold on a second. It's a screen saber. This is going into one now, right? Following a guy and I'm guessing you probably know better than me and RSR is our looks like a Porsche. Yeah, that's definitely not. That's RSR. That's going to. And I have decided that I shall pass him. That I, he was ahead of me quite a bit and I've been catching him. And so I was like, all right, I'm going to catch this guy on lap seven or eight. And I'm going to, I'm going to get around him. Sorry. You got the red mist right now. This is what got you in the trouble. I'm like, this guy qualified ahead of me, but I, there was a reason and I'm faster and he is and I got a turbo and he doesn't. Right. I'm going to catch it. Sorry. You can play. He a little overs here coming out of the corner too. Well, you know, not professional like you. But you can hear that turbo. Yeah, right. And he's got a Mustang or something in front of him like a rouse Mustang or something. Yeah, you're catching him really nicely here. I, I think I should have gone for it. I should have gone for it. I got a little more power than he does. So I'm like, all right, I got time. We're going up into turn six five maybe five. Turn left hand there. And you can see there's a portion nine 14 six at the top of the hill. And now I'm right up on the guy and I'm going into the corkscrew and I'm like, all right, now's the time where we get around this guy and pulled out ahead of me. And the nine 14 swung out and I was like, all right, I'm going inside. Oh, he's going to come back down. He came way way back down. Yeah, that's easy to get sucked in there too because it falls away. So if you get on the outside where that where the nine 14 was, there's no grip. Right. And you're going to lose it. And I was thinking, I'm, I got a red, white and blue car that's as big as a win-of-big on its lap. Like he should answer. And he's, he's on lap eight. Like he's got to know we're coming. He just got passed by the Whistler Mustang. He just got passed by the nine, nine 34. He's got it or the RSR. He's got to know we're, we're coming. Right. That's the whole thing. But he took two, but he didn't know there were three. No, no, he didn't see you. He did not see me. He got lucky there though. I could have made contact with him, but instead it was my fault because both. Yeah, you lost a rear end. So did you leave, let the throttle off? I just went. This guy went from the right side of the track to, oh my god, he's coming all the way down. Like he's going to apex this and I'm trying to sneak through this. And I didn't touch the brakes, I think. I think I just went off the track. I didn't want to lock it up and start getting squirrely on the track. So, but I jinxed myself because before I got in the car, I was like, there's a bunch of dirt down there. Like vacuum up this dust, like wipe it down. I'm like a dust in the car. And then it was like someone took a five-pound bucket and he just got all over it. That just chucked it at me. And then I ended up staring at the crowd. The crowd just comes over the bank and they look at you. Hey, Showshey, love line. It was a good man, Joe. Look at that. Ooh, there's a lot of dirt in my car and then a bunch of people just taking pictures of me. It's the worst feeling in the world right here. And you're strapped in and you can't move the car and then you're just standing there like an ass wipe and everyone's looking at you taking pictures. Well, what are you going to do? You have to do it. Yep. You lose your racing. You're going for it. I was going for it. See, go bigger. Go home. That was an A for F for a fantastic. Thank you for your pity. Let me tell you about true car. 60 seconds. That's how long this commercial is going to last. You know what else you can do in a minute. You can get an offer on your car. Just go to a true car.

Hey, Patrick, what's it cost to take a competitive team to Le Mans? For one race. Yeah, just for the 24 hours of Le Mans. About $2 million. Oh my god. $2 million. That's with testing and getting it, but that's getting everybody over for the one race. $2 million. Or one late season of Grey's Anatomy. And season 12, is that very happy? That's the show going to start my racing habit. Is that in GT and LNP is what? LNP, forget about it. That's factory only unless you have so much money. You really have to. What do you reckon the factory? What do you reckon outy pays? Oh, when they were doing it, they were spending, oh, you know, probably 20 million a year to run a program. Easy. And when you get there, how do you qualify to get there? You either get an invitation, or you've raised the entire season of the WEC, that guarantees that you're going to go to Le Mans, or you do well. There was a sea bring last weekend. If you do well there, you'll get an invitation. If you get in the top three, usually if you win it, you're it's given. And then just politicking. You just have to get in there and sort of work that aspect. Or you have a team. If you want to work with a team that has an invitation, then you can pay as a driver, as an AM driver. You can pay the AMateur driver. Yeah, you can pay close to a million dollars and get in that car to 50,000, something like that. Hurley is the dock. It is transcends racing. You don't have to be a gear head. It's a human triumph story. And it's also, it has all racing docks. There's tragedy. But it's got all the elements. And it's really good. And congratulations. Are you going to make more of these? Yeah, you were talking about Dan Gurney. And I think there's an opportunity there to really get into what his impact is on the sport. You know, I think the great thing, when you win a race, now you spray champagne. And that really started with Dan Gurney at Lamont. When they won the, and you talk about that, I think, in your docking a little bit. Yeah. Well Gurney's such a crazy, he did it all. He did it all. I mean, he, Indy and Lamont and Durant's racing, Stockar racing, everything sports car racing, everything. And he's kind of manufactured. He built his own car. He built that. He built his own motorcycles. It's crazy that motorcycle. I went to his shop in whatever California. Orange County. It's down there, right? Yeah. And I'm not sure, like, Norwalk or something like that. The city of whatever, right? It's in Norwalk or down here or something. I don't remember. I was like, one of those places. And I went and interviewed him for our dock. And he gave me a tour of the place. And, you know, not only did that guy race and win in every discipline of motor sports, but then an innovator. Yeah. He was building those cars. He's so prolific that in uppity, that the next dock with Willie T. Ribbs, he was running the Toyota team. Willie was driving for and winning the manufacturer's championship with. He's doing all the innovation technology that. But he's also making stuff for SpaceX in the back. Right. Like, he's like, you're not supposed to talk about this part. You can't even go in that side. You're like, well, you can go in just don't talk about in the podcast. Damn it. Oh, hell. Well, he, he really, I mean, you just talk about a legend. I mean, you talk about a guy who was doing the driving, then doing the building, and at the end, making stuff for space. Yeah. And, and what an incredible. What a story. What a mind. What a mind. And, you know, he's sort of Matt, Matt Ney, Ida looks, you know, sort of quintessential driver. And he has the impact on the sport is, is phenomenal. Unbelievable. And how long his career lasted is the other thing. Yeah. And, you know, invented the champagne. Spray in the, and the gurney bubble on the car to make room for sale. Right. Because everyone knows he's a big guy. It was what six, three something like that. Yeah. And racers are small and cars are small. And the GT 40 is named after being 40 inches off the ground. So he's going to race one of the lowest cars ever made. So for maximum protection, they had three sixteenths of an inch of fiberglass above his helmet. Just say his head. Like a good question. But if you rolled it, it would have been over, right? It was. Well, anytime your head is sticking out further than the roof, it's not a, it's not a, it's many went out and raced, raced anyway. All right. Again, Hurley is the name of the doc. It is highly recommended by me and, and, and, but a great story. Even if you're not a gear head, it's available digitally and on demand. And that is this Tuesday, March 26. Patrick Damsie, thanks for stopping by. Thank you. It's great to be in your final. Thank you. We'll do a bank's bracket madness and news right after this. It's time to check Adam's voicemail. Hey, man, it's finally, you know, I went to the talk, not Taco Bell material. From here here, and thank you for watching. I thought it was hilarious. It was awesome, but also I was inspired, motivated. I came home the first thing I did is I went and peed in the sink. And I didn't even move the dishes out the way first. You can leave us a message at 888-634-1744. See, I just want to have an impact. That's all. I don't care about the money. I don't care about the accolades. You can touch this one person. Your legacy, that's what you're here for. That's right. And my legacy and my penacy, in the synchacy. Pean down your legacy. That's right. I'd like to pee down my legacy with my penacy. All right, so thanks, and thanks for watching that in Taco Bell material. It's available as we speak on chassis, two S's in wine, Amazon, and iTunes, and all that. So thank you guys for enjoying that. All right, RJ Bells on the blower. He's going to weigh in on the bank's brackets as well, as we have coming. He covers everything. Some insight. Yep, this half brought to you by guycode.geico.com and RJ Bell. Mr. Adam Crowley, you know something we still have to have our conversation about our premium on demand, Adam Crowley searchable database. That's going to help the legacy. Okay. I... Because think about it. You do a show. It's almost like a castle made of sand. I believe you got hundreds of thousands, whatever, a million listeners. But then a couple days later, it's all just gone with the tide. We can save it. I think we are saving them, by the way. We're going to start saving it. We're going to go back and randomly listen to some show from three years ago. That's right. But we've got to give him the best. Chris, I know we're 10 years in, but start saving these episodes. It record, would you? But plus, I figure I'll be on a lot of the best time with the segments I deliver. So I do have a kind of a personal connection. It'll be RJ's best of, I assume. Well, let's talk about that. We have an intro. We do. It's time for RJ's parlay. Presented by that DSI. With Vegas insider, RJ Bell. All right. What do you got, RJ? Well, NCA tournament. Now, what's your position? I know you're an NFL guy first. But do you get excited at him even these first four days of the NCA tournament? Well, there's a couple of things I realize when I hear about the tournament. One is, I had no idea there were so many colleges, because there are always colleges I've never heard of. It's like when someone goes, there's 156 countries. You go, I can name 11. Kidzaka. That's all I need. There's an Eastern West Germany, right? Yeah, like it's crazy that I swear to you, if you give me a Stinopad and a hundred hours out of the 156 nations or whatever it is, I think I could come up with, you know, maybe high 20s, like low 30s. That's how ugly an American I am. And that same lack of education is brought to the education system and lack of knowledge of universities and colleges that are playing in the final four. So I'm not in the final four, but March, Pannas. And so I find myself there's rooting for the school I've heard of least. Yeah, I wonder if 50% of the country could name 50% of the states the schools are in, right? Like Carolina and North Carolina, okay, easy. But where's Belmont, for example? No way. I mean, you're talking about, when I found out that Notre Dame was in Indiana about blue my mind. Same. I'm brought. I was like 11 years old. Like what? Oh, yeah, I was like 28. I was like, one and I was like, get the hell out of here. Like it just, it's so un-Indiana. It's got to be Connecticut. Oh, yes, it is co-stripped. I was in a Vatican. Like I didn't know it's wrong. It seemed insane to me, but when I found out Detroit was in Michigan, that blew my mind as well. So I was easily moved. What? Yes. And Cleveland in Ohio. This is the two that I could never, I'm from North Hollywood. We didn't go anywhere. We didn't know anybody. Is that not in Hollywood? Yeah, see? There you go. RJ, what do you got? I actually speak in LA. I just rewatched Pete, Niopichino, what an LA movie. We just had Michael Mann in here the other day, man. He was really well that's it. I mean, this is that's one of the 10 guys of the last 20 years you got to say. I could you name a director that's been involved with more big time films films that you remember films you've watched multiple times. And that guy walked into my studio. You'd have no idea who he was. He think he was dropping off some grub hub. Which was I should have styled myself. That only one he did with James Conn. I didn't know that was Michael Mann. It was. Yeah. The original thief. I think they made a remake. Two of thief, but the James Conn thief won the young James Conn version. All right. What are what's some locks for us? RJ, what's the easy like why not just quit the job and bet these days? Yeah. Yeah. Well, you know, he was without say. Duke is the clear favorite. And in fact, if you go back a decade, Duke entering the tournament, second biggest favorite entering the tournament of any team in the last decade. So relatively, and there was an undefeated Kentucky team that had even better odds. But this is one of those years where it's like there's a clear favorite. And it is Duke. And Zion is being discussed as much as any college player has. I mean, you would say since Lebron, but Lebron didn't play college, you could make the case. This is the most discussed Zion Williams college player of the century. Duke leading leading star. Do we have a thought? I know everyone thinks he's going to be dominant. It doesn't always translate in the NFL. It translates more in the NBA about a guy's dominance. It's so there's so many other things going on in the NFL, especially injuries and stuff like that. But we think this guy's dominant on this level. And it just doesn't translate to the next level. Do we know he's going to be dominant at the and the NBA level? To me, what I see and you're making a great point, there's players that are legends at the college level in basketball that go to the NBA and they can't even make a team, right? And usually, and you think about the Morrison fellow that ended up, you know, I think he ended up being the third pick out of Morrison. Couldn't even make it in the league. And usually, it's physicality, where if you're a great shooter in college, and especially with a three ball being so important now, you don't have to be six four, six five and strong. You get to the NBA, whereas you can't defend at least one person on the other team. There's a problem. And the physicality can be an issue, even if you can shoot the lights out. With Zion, he's one of the most freakish physical athletes we've seen. So I would say he's about as likely NBA superstar as you're going to get. What are his measurements? Is he six, seven, six, eight? He's in that range, but it's his frame. 285. Because if you think back through LeBron, even just coming out of high school, he hasn't grown that much high-wise at all. I'm not sure he has even, but you felt like that frame could put on another 50, 60 pounds. And that's what you've seen. And what they're talking about Zion, and this is going to be great generationally for you, guys, is like he'll be like Carl Malone when he's 30. He's going to be built like Carl Malone, but he's going to have the ball handling and the outside shooting, you know, like a Larry Bird. So I mean, it's going to be, if it goes right, you never know, is this is a guy that could be 280 and not have fight on him. Yeah, he's coming in at six, seven, 285. I mean, imagine that guy's just backing you into the paint. I mean, what the hell are you supposed to do? And he has good vertical, right? Oh, yeah. I mean, just unbelievable. And the amazing thing was, and this was one of those conspiracy theories, you probably saw when he got heard a while back in his shoe blew out. And the funny thing is there's always a debate and say, yeah, he's not paying these players. And not only that, but Nike pays Duke many, many millions of dollars to be a Nike school. So if Zion was going to go on the court after his injury, it had to be wearing Nike's dispeculation was because that shoe actually blew out on him. There'd be a bit of war because this theory would be, or Nike wants him to show, I have, you know, I hold no, it will, the shoe blew out and hurt my knee. It wasn't the shoes fall. And imagine if a dentist gets them, now you see that him crumble his knees hurt and you see that Nike logo somehow lit up a little extra. Next music rises up, slam dunk comes back down wearing a dearest. So what's fascinating about that injury is when he does sign his shoe deals, I on, it could be the biggest shoe deal in history because he got hurt because he blew it out. I defend Nike, which is that shoe is made for 185 to 220 dudes. And it's made by chicks that are and kids that are 90 to 103 pounds. It's not made for him. No one envisioned him. It's like somebody built a rope bridge with back when people were 150 pounds, it said, all right, max 250. Come on, one of them's wearing a backpack or something. And this guy comes running across like it's not made, it wasn't made for him. It's you couldn't, I don't know how you would construct a shoe that could take what that body could put to it, you know, I mean, he's literally going to money. They spend on horse, like those things are horses, shoes or how do you write this? They put it at the bottom of the horse. I think probably they should figure out a shoe for tie. No, they need to, but I was worth like a billion dollars. I'm assuming he was just like issued a shoe, like here's size 14 or 16 are shoe, but they didn't really realize this guy's going to need to go further than that. You know something out of my think you probably I'm guessing because I'm a long time fan, you know that. I kind of guess when something's going to get you worked up, what do you think of all these perfect bracket deals where it's like all if you get a perfect bracket, you get a million bucks and it's free and all that compared to the chance of a perfect bracket. Is that one of those things that you kind of get worked up about? It gives a bad name to the hardworking gamblers of this country. The guys trying to grab their lunchpale, they go to the casino, they make a big show of $70 worth of shrimp for $9. They ignore their children, change smoke and drink water down free drinks. Those guys are hard work them here. The blue color, men and men bracket gamblers. The guys who just show up, season in, season out and wager the kids college money on trifecta's and who's going to win the coin toss at the Super Bowl. It gives those guys a bad name. They have us a garbage don't smoke it, they got a chew on it. The guys who slapped the cocktail waitress on the ass and ask them to freshen up their high ball at noon on a Thursday. Those guys, the champion. I'm going to give you one I've got a bunch of these. I'm going to give you one. I think you're going to appreciate. If every person on earth filled out one bracket per second, now imagine that. So like seven billion brackets every second. Boom, boom, boom. It would take 40 years to fill out all possible brackets. Really? Well, think of 64 possible common plus the first four. And also you could look, you're talking a guy who can only name 19 out of 156 countries. Obviously, I'm going to believe you. I'm going to hold on to say, look at my scratch pad. Oh boy, you've made some huge air, some huge gaps in your math, RJ Bell. I just crunched a couple. I'm preliminary numbers, but you're off your way off your way off. Wow. It's all I can, it's all I can say. All right, RJ, do you have any thoughts on the bank's bracket madness? It's funny. You know, there's all kind of books out there about how do you organically create a viral event? Because if you can create something that's viral that's going to spread, you know, Twitter, Instagram, podcast networks, watch the recipe, right? Because if you can crack that code, you're a millionaire instantly. Well, I don't know how you guys did it, but I just started here on the whisper. Initially, it was a low rumble. It was about dick banks, the dick banks bracket. Finally, I decided, you know, as a fan, I had to really dig into this and I decided to put some odds out on which song is going to win. And we got a few more entries coming up soon as we got a lot of money. I don't need that. I said the lock. I never talk about locks. I know. We got a lock here in the dick bank bracket downtown funk. Yeah. In my opinion, I got them a minus, I got that song at minus 1500. That's the law. Wow. Wow. Hivida favorite has confidence. 1500. Now, you know, I love dick banks, but I hate that song. So I'm very, very, very, very mixed emotions. You must be honest, a lot of your fans have an ambivalent relationship with you. So I'm not sure that will affect things. I'm fine. Mine. If I wanted to put some money on a long shot, what do you have? Do you have any? Do you have any? This is what's weird. This is the weird part because going, you know, one of your producers who, as the years have gone by, my respect has grown for, you know, I'm just saying he's a, but it's weird. He kept texting me. He said, what do you think about? And I'm going to read this in quotes now. He kept saying, what do you think of coming on the tips? And the first time I ignored it because it was like, I thought maybe we were sending it to somebody else accidentally. But any guy, I'd love to be to me. Like, what do you think of that? I think it should be a favor. So I'm not going to put it as the second favorite, but I did think I was no worthy. Yeah. All right. So, no, but seriously, what do you think of it? We've got downtown or uptown. Downtown funk. Downtown funk. All right. Let me tell you quickly about bet. DSI. Looking to bet on March madness.

RJ Bell, by the way, go ahead, Brian. RJ's parlay presented like that DSI. Hey, RJ, sorry for the for the wait today. But thanks for checking in with us. We do always appreciate it. Hey guys, listen, there's an true honor to be on the show. So anytime you need flex from me, you've got it. Thanks, man. Love you, RJ. All right. We have some Banks bracket songs to play. Welcome back to Banks bracket madness. The tournament more packed with action than Adam's fridge is packed with cards. Last time we heard a song about Adam and a song about Lynette. Go ahead ahead. But and much like their arguments, Lynette lost downtown funk advances. And in our intro song battle, the original Rotten Tomatoes theme was certified fresh and advanced over her Ray for Baldi Wood. On to our second match of the KLSX conference. In 2006, Adam had a very famous phone call with the political pundit, which led to this song here from the original KLSX airing and culture. Hi, Ann, you're late, baby, doll. Somebody gave me the wrong number. And called to my public's email that took me after second with you. Did you just hang up on an episode? Yes. I'm not on time, I'm really on that shrill Harvey. But I am really tight on time right now. Well, get lost. A telephone he did slime in her ear. He made her shrill voice disappear. She's all right, we're true. And ACE doesn't have time to deal with the rants of Mr. and Colter. Oh, God, it banks everybody. The range of the range. I have a thing I have this visceral reaction to Sing Song. I do. Yes, I do. After getting it from you. I just get it. But I really don't know. I am tight on time. It's so unnecessary. The Sing Songiness, it's pretty unnecessary. The TSA really has it unlocked. I know. Try to mean that. This is funny when Bill Marr does it. Both of them. Yes, both of them. All right, what's it going against, Dawson? Up next, the a song about the producer of that morning show. Jimmy Bruska. Hmm. Bruska. Just ate some ham. He smells like capacolomit. God, so big. He can't see his feet. Bruska. How your body is grown. You're bigger than your pregnant wife at all. Bruska. Oh. He jiggles when he walks. And sounds like he's yelling every time he's off. From cold cups to cocoa bars. There's nothing he won't eat. I was so impressed with Bruska because I remember she's like, what do you do for a breakfast? I got to get my wife up at 3.45. She makes me breakfast before I come in. And I'm like, oh. She, you know, she go back to bed or something? Oh, no, no, she got full time, yeah. Up for the day. She just, that principal of the school. Hold on a second. This is sweet stuff. I got a full time gig. Yeah. You get to raster. It's like the middle of the night essentially to make you lunch and breakfast and stuff. And then she can either go back to bed for an hour and a half or just go into school. Or maybe she does some yard work or something. She'll just talk to her. Go to Karnuban, the Jetta, whatever. She didn't have to go back to bed. I was like, how does that work? What a life. What a life. Hey, speaking of that, can I show you a picture from this morning that I woke up to? No. I woke up to a breakfast and bed happy Thursday, I guess. Who's that bitch? Wow. I'm tearing you. This is my boyfriend who wanted to surprise me. Breakfast and bed early this morning. Cuck. I don't like that. I love it. I love that one. All right. I'm scared. What do you make? Oh god, he made scrambled eggs with bacon and round patty sausage. Oh. Oh, she wants to eat. She'll be like, and a crossword. Oh my god. Oh, good one. Just because he's a dick. Yes. He didn't let me finish. Sorry. Sorry, you were saying. Next up, more action in the Lackie Conference. And it might be one of the turnings toughest matches. Starting with a song about one Lackie, who now has to hope his kid never hears it. Oh. Oh. Gary, right? That's fast. That's fast. Gary's flying. He's in a party. No, no way from home. He's beating his knee down a pig. Oh, jet plane with a knee. I bet full of porn. This fixer hand healthy vibes to be stoned away. But he won't stop until he's done. Drinking himself in a mile high. He's just having some first class fun. On a big old jetter lineup. Please don't pull that blanket away. On a big old jetter lineup. It's scary just making us pop it. Yeah. OK, we were talking about beating off on a plane. And how that was kind of tough, because you'd have to be sort of locked in the bathroom for a while. Like, you don't have to use the bathroom. It's the last pod. Pods. Pods. But they're like, where are you going in a pod at 19 and a half? I didn't know what that was. We have a question how Gary got a pod. Yeah, he was going to Europe with his family. Oh, they sprung for it. They sprung for it. Hi Roller. Damn. Yeah, I don't know. I flyers. I'm a little more Gordon, I think of chef Ramsey. Ramsey, right foot. Gordon right foot. Yeah, a little wreck of the adventure. It's Gerald. We take a or barge to your no. Gordon Ramsey's like, I'm rich, but you kids ain't getting the back of the plane. I respect it. I'm a first class seed as a coach seat. You know, it's huge. Yeah, I mean, to be fair, 19 year old Gary's probably six, three and a half. So probably needs his own pod. And look, you take most dudes with a pad worth of, you know, kind of a tablet worth a porn and put them on 11 and a half hour flight. No, it's real whole not talking. It's going, it's above 50%. Yeah. Gina, I hate to tell you. Makes sense. Yeah, be prepared. All right, here we go. Going up against that song is a parody of the great duo Simon and Garfunkel, done by the greater duo of Lynch and Banks. Lynch, of course, being Garfunkel. And it nails all the young guys on the staff. Hello, Dylan, lucky friend. It's going to rant at you again. Because you're fuck up nearly every day. You can't seem to get out of your own way. Really? And the bio that is on from perfect. You triple checks. This is the language of losers. Don't worry, Dylan, it's not just you. Mad and Gary fuck up too. Look through the window of negligence. No one there is doing at us last. And when Gary takes off a week for his half birthday, that is the way to hear the language of losers. And through his childhood, Adam Sarsman, more. Checked out that and depressed mom. Parents who did no parenting. Turned on home that wasn't very sing. Flunky body is like a scene. And with borrowing cash, they won't be back. This is the language of losers. Wow. That is a tight match. That's it. Man. God damn shame one of these has to lose. I know. For Gary on all fronts. Oh, strong. God that was good. All right, well you guys got your work cut out for you. Go to AdamCarola.com to vote for your favorites. And we'll tune in tomorrow for the next round of Banks Bracket Madness. All right, let me hit castro ledge stronger under pressure. That is castro ledge with fluid titanium transforms under pressure to keep metal apart and fight power robbing friction to unlock exhilarating performance three times. Three times full stronger than leading full synthetic against viscosity. Break down. Ask Patrick Dempsey, everybody. He knows two million bucks to go to Mulan. This is a private here. They tested this stuff against other leading full synthetics. And it's three times stronger full castro ledge, everybody. All right, Gina. Let's do some news. Let's do it. Give me the news with grad. News with Gina grad. Breaking fire. All those crazy truck tweets. Give me news with Gina grad. Troubled in the Middle East. Celebrity truck belt down. Seek news with Gina Gina. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. The news with Gina grad. So New Zealand's Prime Minister announced on Wednesday that the country will ban assault weapons, including the type used in the mass shootings that killed 50 last Friday at two mosques in Christchurch. The ban will take effect once it is approved by legislatures. Our turn. Her name is New Zealand's an island, right? Yes, it is. It shouldn't be allowed to have assault weapons on islands. It's fair. And you know what? They're okay with that. Yeah, I don't know why. It doesn't matter how big it is. It feels weird to have someone with an assault weapon on an island. Yeah. Usually I heard a report they were talking about it and saying there's just a different relationship with guns. They have them. It's mostly recreational and hunting and they're like, you know, it's not about defending yourself or your property. It's about hunting and recreation. They said if you want them back, most people are saying take them back. So here's what Prime Minister Jacinda Arles. Most people saying take them back. Yeah. There was a, who was it? It must have been on KFI. They were maybe KVC. They were talking to a pundit in. They're not buying them back. Well, I have a whole thing on how they're getting the guns back. But then people aren't saying, you know, Michael Deadhands, you're going to pry this out of mine. Yeah. Are they AR-15s? I have a whole list of everything that's going to go on that band list. Yeah. I don't like assault weapon. You know, if you want to live in Mexico, go ahead. It's going to include islands. I don't like. Yeah. You know, caliber sizes of the actual bullets. I'll show you after. Still, it's all like it's nothing hurts. It's still all sort of symbolic. Like if anyone wants to get a pistol and put clips in it and take two of them and go wherever you want, you just kill a bunch of people or you could blow them up with fertilizer. But at least somebody's doing something and everybody's cool with it. You know, it's not just, well, just see what happens again. No, I'm fine with it. I just, and it's good. And it is sort of symbolic. And it's fine that it's symbolic. Like, all right, symbolic. Here we go. Mm-hmm. Today, I'm announcing that New Zealand will ban all military-style semi-automatic weapons. We will also ban all assault rifles. Hold on a second. There's a giant man standing next to us. Hands are flailing about. I'm not getting the message. I got a couple things. Look, if you're deaf, you got to learn to read lips. And if you're going to read lips and read my lips, read her lips. Do you see what I'm saying? She's saying she's the one that he's doing the mouth thing and the handing. But I'm saying to you, read lips. If you're deaf, learn to read lips. Let's get this huge man off the stage and let's get him back to the Steelers training facility where he came from. She's demeaning. Yeah, that's easy, deaf people. He's giant. He's too big. He's literally casting a shadow on her speech. Literally. She's tiny. She's tiny. He's huge. She seems to have no difficulty annunciating. Look at their mouth. They're in the same shape. Right. Get him out of there. And look, here's the deal. You got two choices. If you're deaf, you either learn to read lips or you don't get timely messages. That's my message. We'll have this printed for eight of us. Coming you say today in four hours. Read it. There you go. I need you so hostile towards the heart of the sea. I don't need this. How'd the virtual take? Well, hopefully you can still hear this even though he's standing next to her. Mm-hmm. Okay. He's too big. He's too big for this job. She's too small. We got to even this out somehow. It's not fitting right. Sorry. Do you just unfollowed us on Twitter? Oh, no. Oh, sorry. Go ahead. She's tiny. He's huge. Sorry. He's a real boy on his. We will ban all Kai capacity magazines. We will ban all parts with the ability to convert semi-automatic or any other type of firearm into a military style semi-automatic weapon. We will ban parts that cause a firearm to generate semi-automatic, automatic or close to automatic gunfire. In short, every semi-automatic weapon got the most. I can't move it here. It's been a terrorist attack on Friday. This is a disaster. I don't know what you're saying. She's saying Wednesday is National Dog Walking Day. I have no idea what's coming out of her mouth. I'm staring at a huge man. Let's go fishing. Yeah, there's a huge man's hands are all over the road. He doesn't need to do the mouth thing. She's right next to him moving her mouth. And by the way, who are you going to believe? His mouth or her mouth? Well, she has a microphone in front of her. She's coming out of her mouth. I'm looking at her mouth. Well, did you want more screen real estate as well? Yeah, center. Did you get the gunfire part? That part I got. If you're a deflipperator, do you read lips with an accent? Like, can you tell she has an accent? mouth positions probably a little different. It's interesting. Yeah. It's semi-interesting. All right, look, here's the other thing too. Let's do what we do best. We put them in that little box. We get them on the box. And we get them in a lower right hand corner in a box. Once a while, the crawl screws a box. And if he can't fit the box, he doesn't get to do it. Well, this guy's not fitting in a box. We need a refrigerator box for this cat. He's a big dude. Look, here's the deal. He's bursting out of the box like a porcupig. Well, you know, F1 drivers, they don't go above 150 pounds. Jockies, they don't go above 110 pounds. Let's do that for the, for the translator. Sure. Let's do that for the, the sign language guy. Sign language guy. It's too much man. You know what, you make me realize, I apologize for something. I buried the lead of this story. Yeah. The interpreters are too big. This guy is. This one is. What do you think his story is? He was a, wrestled in college, blew out his knee, took it, was in love with some chick who was a, an interpreter, a sign language interpreter and took the class just to get the love started. There's something here, right? Yeah, there's some reason he's a giant man. He's too big to do this. Not playing rugby. This is not, this is not the role of a big man. A big, big guy's unattracted to this story. This is New Zealand. There's a lot of Maori. There's a lot of, you know, guys, big guys, big, you know, I'm gonna look into it. Let's get him out of there. Okay. Well, that's what's important. All right. Yeah. So craft, we got offered a sweet deal of a hundred hours of community service and STD screenings and admitting he's guilty. We're sure he's just about the law. The part where we're like, oh, we're gonna make an example of him. Or we got a guy's, a DAB is up for re-election. You know, like, do we stop that? Like, can we just treat regular guys? Like whatever it is you do, that's what you did. No matter how much you're worth. Take that blindfold up, just put on yourself. Yeah. Like, oh, hey, it's Robert Graff. We're gonna make an example of him. Oh, why? Because he pays a shitload in taxes. Because he pays taxes enough for 500 families. We got to make an example of him. I feel like maybe we can give him a little lighter look. Well, he feels the same way. Yeah, fuck this. Who's this DA? Well, he's, if craft is rejecting this deal, good, fuck this. Yeah, good. I'll screw you. Like, I, the guy probably pays. He'll probably pay. He'll pay the proxy. 15 million dollars a year in taxes. How about we give him a break? Well, Tuesday. I'm gonna make an example of him. Why? Because his wife died and he wins a Super Bowl and he's rich. Why do we have to make an example of him? We want to throw a Lori and Felicity in on that with the examples from the USC. Yeah, I don't need it. I said to Mark Garagas, what's with the million dollar bail? Like, what is she, a flight race? She was in Canada when you told her to come back. Like, well, she was already in another country. And she's like, why do you have to send the seal team six out of her house and bail out? Like, what, what is all this shit? And he's like, they just send her a summons to appear and she'd appear. Like, they don't need to do any of this stuff. Like through a window, five a.m. They don't have to pull the van up. You just send her a summons. It says you got to appear and then she'll get her lawyer and then she'll appear. You don't need to show up at her house at five in the morning. And as far as the million dollar bond, you don't, that's unnecessary and insane. Like, well, we're making an example. Oh, okay. Well, of who? Mon pocketel over here. Like, who's robbing all the banks? Who's, what are they doing? I get to part where you, we have heard their name before and now we shall make an example of them. What did they do that we need to make an example of them? They've got their stupid kid on the crew team or paid for whatever, something that has been going on for as long as we've had institutions and craft over there gets a handy. That's something that's been going on for a while as well. What is this part where we need to make examples of the people that are working in paying taxes? And we've never wanted it more. It's screw you. You're not allowed to make examples. You just apply the law equally to everybody. Well, he agrees with you. Yeah, that part I agree with. So the, the, the, the, the, the, don't make an example out of them just because they are rich or famous. That's absurd. But also treat them, get, apply the law to them the same way to apply to anyone else. Like if they're guilty of tax fraud because they claimed to write off but was actually a $100,000 payment to who, so and so. That's, that's illegal. You can't do that. I'm just your rich. You shouldn't get hammered more. But you shouldn't get hammered less. Works both ways. That's true. So Tuesday prosecutors in Florida made an offer where they offered, I just told you about and yes, to complete it. It's 100 hours of community service. 100 hours community service. What's with the STD test? You don't think he's got a doctor. And an education course about prostitution and yes, to admit that he could have been found guilty. And once all that happens, all the charges would be dropped. He's not going forward. He turned down the deal saying that he's innocent. His attorneys are saying he's innocent. Graph is charged with soliciting prostitution after he was allegedly caught paying for sexual favors. It's part of a sting operation. And the charges he would be facing, or I guess will be facing, are a pair of second degree misdemeanors. If he was convicted, the charges usually carry a sentence of 60 days in County. And I think he's gonna, I think he's gonna fight this one. Good, whoever the douchebag, I don't know who the DA is or whatever, but let's go bust criminals, would you jack off? There's probably a few running around Miami. This is a surprise. I'm Jupiter. I'm making an example, I fuck you. It's got a hand job, leave me alone. Also, I'm not neither here nor there in the paying a shitload in taxes. I don't think you need to make an example of this guy. He's paid his dues. Leave him alone. I think you should be able to buy your way out of this shit. That's me. Not a commercial. Controversial. Well, look, under my, if you do my math, we could have, we'd have that bullet trained LAX and these guys have a lot less semen of. We essentially do have a system where you can buy your way out of these crimes. I mean, that's essentially the system that we have. Yeah. That's the reason Michael Jackson ever did a day in. You can buy. You can buy. The reason OJ Simpson ever saw a day, also after when he was locked up with a suspect, but not every day in prison time. Yeah. Guess so. Trying to think about it. It's kind of the system. Well, it's OJ's thing was kind of, OJ's a little bit different because OJ got off, he had the dream team and he had his representation, but he also just had a lot of people in the jurors box who are like, I don't care if he did it. It's payback for all the times a black guy was wrong, which I don't know. I can give some credit to Cochrane for jurors' election on that. As Gary says, that's where it's one of the laws. That is an interesting. That's how you're going to win a case when people in the jury are like, I'm going to let this guy go for all the stuff that's happened in the past. Like, how do you talk them out of that? Now, as I was pretty determined. All right, let me tell you guys quickly what you got something there. Well, yeah, I don't know if you've ever talked to Mark about this, but do you know that we're going to be the California's going to be the first state to do away with cash bail? Yes, I so that'll be interesting. I've been going. I talked to him about that. I can't remember. Think he likes it, but I can't remember I think get into it with him this week. Let me tell you guys about Geico. Everyone's got the to-do list. How about you save hundreds of dollars on your current insurance? You don't have to go anywhere. Just go to Geico.com and just a couple of minutes could be saving 15% or more on your auto insurance. Take that extra money. Put it in your pocket. Be the most rewarding thing you do today. That is Geico at Geico.com. All right, Gina, what else? Well, Amy Schumer is hopeful that at some point being diagnosed with autism won't be a big deal. The comedian appeared on Wednesday night's episode of Late Night with Seth Meyers and- Did she have her kid? No, she's very pregnant. She's very pregnant. You'll see the clip. I saw her, I was watching some of her Netflix special and she was pretty pregnant during that. And then I was doing the, wait a minute, when did they film this? You never know. They filmed it six months ago, but it had to be recent. And then they must have turned the thing around pretty fast because she seemed pretty pregnant during the, yeah, she's very, very pregnant now. So she's talking to Seth about how her husband, Chris Fisher, was just diagnosed as high functioning autism on the- Well, that's what she's an adult. Yeah. That's what you want. Well, she's thrilled about it for several reasons. She, this isn't part of the clip, but she says he's incapable of lying, which is great for her, but also gets her into some tough spots when she's trying to leave a party alone. Listen, high functioning hemorrhoids is good. Like you put high functioning in front of anything. It worked. High functioning asshole. That's right. I tell Lynette all the time and she's like, you have ass burgers, you know, and I go, okay, good, everyone open their mouths so I can spit it. And they go, what? I go, you guys should all get some of this. That's the way we should do this. Everyone should get a little bit of this. Yeah, if it's working, get some shit down around here. So let's go, everyone just open your mouth. Daniel spit it. It could swap you, but. What a nut. What a nut. And then you guys get a little dustier ass burgers and then we get this party started. How about that? All right. Yeah. Well, this is what Amy has to say about it. She loves it when I say that. Shh. Yeah, he was diagnosed as high functioning autism spectrum disorder. But that has been something that has been like a some positive for your marriage. Yeah, totally. That's why we wanted, we both wanted to talk about it because it's been totally positive. I think a lot of people resist getting diagnosed and even some of their children because of the stigma that comes along with it. But you're not just diagnosed and then they throw you out. Like, hopefully if you can get help, like the tools that we've been given have made his life so much better in our marriage and our life more manageable. And so I just wanted to encourage people to not be afraid of that stigma because, like, when ADD was the new thing, like everybody, you're a little embarrassed if you got diagnosed with the attention deficit. And now everyone's like, I have that. Yeah. And I think there are a lot of people with autism who go undiagnosed when I think their life could be better if they got those tools. And I, it's wonderful. Yeah. The comedians just become heroes and stop telling jokes. She has, you know, my Ben Stiller, body dysmorphic whatever thought where it's like you go, yeah, every movie he's playing some kind of obnoxious fitness coach and is in his underwear or shirts off. Or is not, he still finds a way. He still figures out a way to get down. He's like, whatever it is, like, oh, he's going to play in the volleyball game, the pool ball. All they have is his miniature speedos, right? And it's like most comedians are like, yeah, give me some board shorts and a tank top or whatever. It's like he's always in there. Amy Schumer manages to get naked or nearly naked in almost everything. I'm watching her stand up special. And she's like, I'm pregnant. Like, okay, we can see that. Don't believe me. She's like, pulls her dress up. And it's like, woo, and I get it. If you did a thing where it's like, let's just say, run. Let's just say every time you pull the nut out, every time you just undid one button and you're Levi's and pull the nut out, everyone would stand up and start clapping. And he's like, hey, he's a hero. He is a hero. Our lives show to be very different. Look at that hairy saggy bag. And this guy's got the guts to pull it out. Hero, like eventually you just be going out the dinner and just going out the full nut out. I wore my dolphin shorts because I figured a lot of folks here want to see a little side nod. Is that cruise to Krolycai in early October? Well, see you nod. This is one of her latest pictures on Instagram, by the way. Oh, she's totally naked. Run and naked. That's my not least central part. That's my testicle. She pulled their dress up like overhead. And she was talking about her navel being distended or something like that. And everyone starts clapping. But I realized she has been sort of programmed, like in a patholovian way, that every time you pull something up or show something, everyone starts clapping because you go, hey, look at person. Doesn't look that good in their underpants with the guts. Go for a car. Yeah, you know, and she's obviously feeding off it. Or there's something about it that works to her, like reward system. Body positivity revolution. It's a little bit different than the Ben Stiller thing. But we're looking at a picture on stage with her. You know, when you do a standup set, at some point, you got to drop a nut or pull your skirt off. I thought you guys had a hard to get through a set. Like back when Carol Burnett would do her shows. Over her head, that's why I have to watch it again. She do that moves her grandma and then boom. A sundress right over the head. Like it's not a necessary function in a standup. The end of Gallagher shows used to be very different. Oh, very different. That's right, Ralph. So she is a comedian who I get to see naked or partially naked in almost every movie. And I kind of get the Chris Hemsworth sort of part of the business where it's like, look at that guy store. And I look at him with a shirt. I love this compulging and everything. Whatever. We get the rock and all that. But this is a little under the Ben Stiller world. What about Chelsea Handler? Thanks, God. She likes to get it naked. She's got that too. And so I think Ben Stiller has the, oh, you think I'm a funny little Jewish kid. How about this six pack? I mean, I think he kind of shows you that. Chelsea Handler's got the, if you want to bang me, I think you're going to want to laugh a little bit too. And I think Amy Schumer thing is, oh, you're a hero. Look at you. Look in mediocre and you're underpants. You're a hero. So they're all used to it for, they're all getting it from little different levels. But I think they're getting that. Yeah. OK. Mm-hmm. Well, it's served. Because I've seen almost all the Netflix commercials and I've not seen anyone. Well, Bert Chrysler actually does the, that's right. Stolarscher. Sorry. Yeah. He does a show with the shirt off, right? That's right. Rip it off his act. Yeah. Or, oh, yeah. That's true. Did you like the special I haven't watched it yet? Yeah. I liked the part of it. I watched. If you like popped out belly buttons. Yeah. It's a whole. I don't want to chase that. I think she's funny. I don't understand. I don't understand. I don't like crazy funny. She used to play like that, a character that was sort of controversial. Now she's going to do her thing. Yeah. That's just self. It's a little different. Yeah. It's, it's, it's fine. I haven't watched the whole thing. I'm going to, I'm going to watch the rest. All right. Last one. Well, your precious, precious peloton in the news. And I've heard about it. Oh. It's my own economy. Yes. See? I watched TMZ. They're not clearing the music. I've had it too good for too long. CBS News reports that fitness company peloton is being sued for allegedly using more than a thousand unlicensed songs in its popular workout videos. Nine music publishers filed a lawsuit seeking more than 150 million in damages. So they alleged that peloton knowingly and willfully used songs in these videos without obtaining licenses. These licenses give a music, music user permission to release it in a video format because these are all workout videos. Right. And then, the second lady, Gaga, Justin Timberlake Bruno, Marza, Sharon, a million others, and this is not, they're not the artists aren't the one with a lawsuit, by the way, this is the publishers. They collect the income from the licenses and pay out the songwriters. So TMZ caught up to Mark McGraph at the airport recently and asked him what he thought of the lawsuit. He became very impassioned at what I believe is L.A.X. He's a nice guy. Yeah. Wait a minute. This is on TMZ. Yeah, did you use it? I'm not sure this. Nobody alerted you? Mad, how come I was not made aware of Sugar Ray, the airport in TMZ? He has feelings about artists and getting their desserts. Well, you're talking to a songwriter. They've worked enough to have some songs that were hits, you know. So why is my property free now? It's called intellectual property. And what people have a hard time understanding is that it's not something tangible. You can't touch it. So they think it's, well, it's not what you're crying. But if I wanted to a Basquiat in a museum and took it off the wall and put it in my house, is it mine now? No, I know in that sounds like an extreme example, but the song like Fly every morning that we wrote, those songs are worth millions of dollars. And they're spinning to that, yes. They're spinning and they're supposed to be spinning in perpetuity and they're worth millions of dollars. I can't just go take a Basquiat off Moma in New York and put it in my house about it's mine now. So I know it's an extreme example, but I hope people know what intellectual property is. It has value. So creating these billion dollar companies off the backs of our work to songwriters and musicians. I don't think it's fair. By the way, I'm cool. I play around the world. I've been fortunate enough to get more than I deserve. I'm just worried about songwriters that deserve more. I deserve to get paid. That's what we do. That's a legacy I lived to my kids. I'll tell you this man's a genius. He's a hero and no one knows finance like Mark McGrath because he came to me, Kimmel's house once during a party. He titled up next to me. I had a drink in his hand. He looked to his left. He looked to his right. So I know when I was listening and he whispered to me. Now having kids and a wife. I was in about the same position. He was in. He said, since when did paying for everything count for nothing? And I went, I don't know when that happened, but it's on. It's on. You pay for everything you get to even. And he's like, yeah, I didn't think it used to work that way. To like my nose. I think this is, I think this is progress. I think we've evolved to this. He's like, yeah, I don't glad. So it was a fun party. It's a good time. My class is very quiet. Yeah, it's a surprise for most adult males. I mean, come, God, God willing, you guys all get to the position of me and Mark McGrath where you get to realize that paying for everything counts for nothing. That's right. That sucks. Yeah. For you guys. That sucks, right? So you got for paying for everything. We get. I'll never forget that. I will, I will show you on your point with a last time Mark McGrath's on the podcast. I was an intern here and he got here 15 minutes early and he went up to every single intern here and every single person here. Go, I went, I'm going on a Starbucks run. What do you want? And then goes and get Starbucks for everybody here and he paid for everything and has never left me. I can't turn the nicest guy that's ever come to us. So you paid him in gratitude and in a happy memory. Right. Yeah. That could be what I'm getting. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Intern Chris. Intern Chris. All right. Do we bring it home? We'll bring it home right now. I'm Gina Grad and that's the news. What do you think of coming on the tit? Gina Gina. That was the news with Gina Grad. All right. Does Adam Kroelishow 2355 featuring Anzal, Neighbor Patrick Dempsey? Hope you enjoyed that episode. Could have next we have Adam Kroelishow 2556 featuring Tucker Carlson. Hope you guys enjoy. Good day, Gina Grad. Good day to you. Hey, ball, Brian. That's what I do. I'm Mausletoff to Dawson who just hit that one out of the park and up your Salino. That was so good. Don't bring that in, Brian. Also forget how good the beginning of that song is. Oh, that it's a great song. But the beginning, just the way there's a way to get into a song. There's a little little four play that's nice. You don't just dive at the panties. You have to rub a little outside the sweater. Thank you. A station I worked out in San Diego started that song without the intro and it was the program director's choice and it just pissed me. Oh, that's very common. It's coming from a classic rock station. It's, it's what? It's very common. It's, it's what 30 second big comedy trailers look like. And it's why Mexicans can't make dessert. It's like somebody goes, look, let's just have punch line, punch line, punch line in this crazy wacky dad, Will Farrell, a marquee, mark movie like we're get rid of all the stupid non comedy before. The cars were there talking, but no one's laughing. It's good. The part of the movie. Yeah, they do. Comedy trailers, you'll TV versions, you know, not the three minute in the studio in the theater version, but when you see them on TV, you'll often, I'll often have to stop and watch it five times to hear what the person said, because it just cut to Will Smith in the punch line and they'd screw that up. I don't know about that. Mexican. I said, screw up dessert. And you screw up a song if you don't, if you don't let a little foreplay in there. I'm trying to think that say 70s use of an acoustic guitar intro in a song. And the best use of an 80s intro song, acoustic guitar and intro of a song, you might think it's a big mouth strikes again. Sure. But I got, I got in between days by the cure. If you listen, I don't even like the cure. Our internet's down. Oh, I don't like the cure, but if you listen to the beginning of that song, you'll go, this is the best 57 seconds of an intro to just about any 80s, especially pop song. You know what I think is nice, but a confusing intro to a song that really doesn't vibe with the actual song at all. The mandolin brunch quartet of the Maggi May intro, Rod Stewart. Oh, yeah. I like that one. It's just, it's an odd, it's not an intro for that song. Tesla did it with love song. Let's keep talking about song in the beginning here. Yeah. Sorry. You can pause and go to the left. Internet is down. All right. I want to thank this half of the show brought you by my Amigo.com slash and bet online.ag at EnterPodcast1.castraledge as well. Titanium strong from Maxim engine. Support everybody. All right. Hot sausage talk. I have a thing and I, you guys tell me what you think of this and I'll let you know. But I have this thing where I, when I tell somebody I want something or I want them to do something, I really mean it. I really mean it. Like it happens a lot where I tell someone to do something and they go, yeah, well, it's something else and it drives me nuts. It drives me goddamn nuts. Little even it's not even that they're bad people. It's just like what I do is I don't give people the full picture. I give them just a little snapshot because that's all they need. Yeah. They need to know that. You know what I mean? It's like they're coming into a war room. We're standing around the big paper mache Normandy and I'm pushing around Higgins, crafts and landing, you know, troop, transporters and tanks and stuff like that. Like someone rushes in the room and they go, do we need more dirigibles with cables on them to stop us from being bombarded and I go, no, and then they run out. But when they run out, I don't explain them why I just go, no, to this or I want this or don't want that. And then they just go do it and little things that'll drive you insane, which is, and you guys tell me first world problem, but still. I was out driving the last Rolex historics of driving Newman's 300 ZX, 85 GT1 championship car, Pubblebleble. The car worked pretty good, the whole race and then at the very end for the feature race on like in the afternoon on Saturday, about six laps in or four, the clutch started just going. It was like, like if the clutch pedal was like it was just flapping in the wind, it had no pressure. It was leaking out. It was not shift gears. Was it harder? You can shift gears in that car because of the kind of transmission it has without the clutch. You have to kind of get the RPMs right and just pop it in and pop it back in and put the grind and gears. Yeah, I do that anyway. Those are the kind of transmissions that race cars have. They just kind of work that way. But at a certain point, I don't know, Max Padamay was lap five or something. We got like a full course yellow and everyone had to slow down and get behind the pace car or something like that. And the car wasn't really drivable at the low speeds because the clutch wouldn't work. At that point, we'd stopped racing in the adrenaline kind of simmered down. And then it was like, it was like saying, that could be the equivalent to you kind of rolling your ankle or something in the middle of a basketball game. And you're just playing. You're still playing. You're hobbling down the court. You're running on the court. And at some point, there's a whistle. You get off the court and you're standing there and you're like, I think I should go to the locker room now. I'm not going back out. You know that stage health. Yes. So the full course yellow came out and we understand, but we do have audio actually. We stopped. So I pulled off and then I pulled the clutch and works. Fine. We had a good weekend and then we brought the car back and the guy, Sean, my mechanics, like something's wrong, throw it bearing, slave cylinder, blah, blah, blah. And I said, yeah, I know, I know. It's broke. I brought it back and I wasn't due to drive that car for a long time. I mean, those cars you could not drive for 10 years or whatever. There's no event coming up or whatever. And I didn't want the car all taken apart and then just sitting. I knew there was something wrong with it, but it still looked was intact. You know, it looked fine. It's kind of a static thing. Interworking. Right. So I just said, a Sean, don't touch it. We'll figure it out at a later date. Just park it. And like the next day I came back and he dropped the transmission. And I'm like, oh, why would we take the transmission out? I was like, well, I want to fix that slave cylinder or throw it bearing. And I was like, oh, okay. So can we just fix it with the transmission back? He's like, nah, we got to take the engine out. Now in this weird, no man's land of you're going to take the engine and the transmission out of this car that I didn't want you to touch. Why the opposite? Why didn't you want to touch it? It's not all so bad. I'm not, because now it is, here's what it is. I didn't want him spending a week fixing a car I wasn't driving. I want to move on to the next thing. Then when the cars are sort of in static mode, just sort of display mode, I went the engine out and the transmission out. I just, I knew, you know, you just, you put a little piece of tape on the dash. It says slave cylinder and you know, you got to fix it before you go out again, but I didn't want it all taken apart. But once he dropped the tranny, now the only thing to do, sorry, just slivered him. I still was too cramped. Guy loves cars. The car is only thing to do is now we got to pull the engine and I don't want to pull the engine. So I also don't want to put the tranny back in now either. So now the cars just park with no transmission, transmission's up on a shelf and it looks weird because there's no stick shift coming through it. That's about the world. This sounds a good guy, but he's like, I wanted to get it ready for the next one. I'm like, I don't know what the next one is. There is no next one for that car, but anyway, he didn't do what I told him to do and it drives me nuts. And I just say people, I say them quick things. I go, here, do this, do that. And I leave. And a lot of people go, I know that's what you said, but I want to get this car ready for the next whatever. And my thing is like, you may state that to me right now or later on, but you have to state it. But anyway, now back to the hot Kilbasa talk. So I guess it was about 12 30 or 1 o'clock here yesterday on Friday, I should say. I don't know. Yeah, I do remember hearing something about sausage. Yeah, we tell you about the continental. I don't. The continental, the sausage place. Yeah. Yeah, I don't eat lunch. I don't know. It's called in there. I don't know what it's called. It's called. We always just call it the sausage. Oh, God, yeah. Yeah, I don't. I don't eat lunch here. And I also kind of don't eat lunch. Ever since I talked a few people about it, the thing is, you know, put some heavy cream or pat a butter in your coffee and see if you can make it to dinner time. So I tend not to eat lunch, but I was here in Kalen's like, we're going to the sausage place. And I'm like, oh, that's the place where I buy the sourcrout and the Kilbasa and everything. And he's like, yeah, I'm like, oh, they have like sandwiches. And lunch, you know, it's like, oh, yeah, they got good sausage sandwiches. So I was like, oh, okay. What's she? Vinnie approved. I don't want a sausage sandwich. Vinnie wouldn't go for that. But that's exactly right. I said, I'll say, give me one Kilbasa and some sourcrout. Doubled the mustard. That's right. And a bunch of brown mustard. And Kalen said, okay. And then I went in and did a podcast. And I came out, I had sort of multiple podcasts to do yesterday or Friday. And I came out and I was like, okay, where's that sausage? And then it's in the fridge. And I said, okay. And I went to the fridge and it was wrapped in white paper. And then I opened it up and it was just an uncooked sausage. Although the Kilbasa comes cooked, but it's a cold, you know, from the, from the deli. It's been rendered. Side. And I said, what is this? And they said, I was like, that's a real downer. That's a real let down. You got a, you wanted a Kilbasa and some sourcrout. I said, yeah, but I wanted to, I wanted to eat the Kilbasa. Now, I mean, you guys are going on a lunch run. I'm not bringing it home. Now, let me tell you something, people, you can't judge in a, in profile. I study patterns all day long. There's no such thing as rich, whitey, Adam Kurola going, go to the German sausage place and buy me one Kilbasa. So I can take it home and cook it for dinner. Sure with the family. I go there and buy 10 Kilbasa or eight Kilbasa. I buy, I buy in both because I'm going there and buying that. I'm going there and buying it for maybe multiple use or multiple nights or whatever. So the first things first, the one, give me one Kilbasa. That should set off. Here's what I'm saying. In life, there are thresholds where you have to stop things that make you go, hmm. Thank you. No, I mean, when you go, hey, I'm going to buy Kilbasa. I'm going on a lunch run. Here's what I'm saying. This is, this is for me. Here's, here's how, but here's how you construct things in life. You go, I'm going on a lunch run. You go, okay. So I'm going to go get a bunch of Kilbasa sandwiches. The boss man ordered a Kilbasa, but wait a minute. There's two versions of that. There's the one from the cold one from the deli tray. And then there's the cooked one. They put in the sandwich or the hot one. They put in the sandwich. Now, which one does he want? Because we're in a little crossroads here because they have both. Well, he said, get me one. Then there is, then there is what's everyone else doing? Because no one else is shopping. Everyone else is on ordering lunch. So it's lunch for five people, but one of those people has sent you on a shopping. Although I didn't send you on a shopping. They went on a lunch run. I added to that list. Why would my thing be not like the other? That's number one. Like, I don't know, Max Pat, how many people went on a lunch run? How many people do we order for? But the point is is if you're going in one of these things, it's not like the other. That's a chance to stop. But knowing you, if it was to go, if it was like, I'm having this for dinner, you would have said, I have the wrap it up, you know, put it in 10 foil, whatever. I'll bring it home for dinner. I would have said on the off chance, which you probably wouldn't have said. Well, I would have said by five of them. Now, remember, this is the long drive home. This is cooked versus uncooked. So are to be technical, sort of ready to consume heated boiled whatever versus full, whatever. So the one could have been it. The other, then you have to think, well, what are the, what are the potential drawbacks? Like what if I did show up with a hot one and he wanted to eat it tonight at home? Still be fine. It's still be okay. So that one would work. The other way, it doesn't really work unless we got a boiling pot here somewhere. So that's another thing. If it's, if it's coin tossing time and that's stop and now you got examined, one works both ways. The other one doesn't quite work either way. Right. So anyway, Emmy felt bad that he didn't get me the right form of the sausage. And I then did part number two, which is when I tell you I want something, I mean it. But when I tell you I don't want something, I also mean it. Like people, all I have these conversations all the time with people where you can tell, I just talked to Peter, young buck Peter is working at my house. And I was just like, hey, you want to work tomorrow? And he's like, uh, maybe, well, half day. And I'm like, I don't care. You work half day full day, double time, no time. Just tell me your answer. I'm not really, I'm not taking time. I'm just, you can tell me whatever you, you say, I don't feel like I want to smoke pot and land a fluton. I'll go find that's all I'm asking. But I feel like people, Emmy felt bad. So Emmy said, uh, well, let's cook the one you got. And I said, no, no, no, I got to do another podcast immediately. And then I'm leaving. So, and I don't eat lunch most time anyway. Just someone was going on a run to a sausage place. And I said, uh, no, it's fine. We're good. I'll just take it home and I'm out of here. And then I went and did my second podcast. And then when I walked out of the studio about four o'clock, I was presented with a new killboss that said, cooked on it, which, try to make it labeled now. I'm in a weird position where I have to yell at people. I don't want to yell at it because I'm saying I, I, look, here's, there's two things I don't want. I don't want poor guy to, on his own time or his own time or whatever to go back to the sausage place and get me a sausage. No, number one, I know, Ms. poor guy. I don't want any people that make less than a lot of money doing things out of their own pocket. I don't want to, or I don't want to pay somebody to do something. I don't want them to do that they already did. So either way, I announced we're good. Don't I know you feel bad. I'm fine. Moving on. Moving on. And then he presented me with a cook sausage or one that said cook sausage, which is sweet. I didn't want it, but I'm also driving home now. I'm not going to stay here and eat lunch. It's now after four p.m. I'm going to go home and eat dinner. And then I got home and I opened the cook sausage. And I went, this doesn't look cooked. And then I looked at the one that was uncooked. And I went, oh, I think they're exactly the same. And then I yelled at Olga, get over here. You see any different doing these two sausages? I pull my dork out, put it in the middle. No, but when you do police line up, you have to get to what you have to get the janitor to stand out there too. They can't all just be criminals. Sure. You get the janitor pull his hair out. Yeah, yeah. What's if these sausages? Well, then I realized maybe Emmy in the language, then the person behind the counter at that place is pretty German, I think. And maybe the cook sausage. There's an ESL situation at that place. And we said the person's Asian. Oh, Asian even worse. I mean, oh, so when you say to that person, I need to cook killbasa. Maybe in their world, they're all cooked. Yeah, the version raw and cooked are just the two different. Yeah, right. But there's a picture of it. I'll say it's exactly. It's the exact same killbasa. There is no way to tell which ones are just cold and there's exact same. Adam's dork is on the right. Yeah. So anyway, I think they just gave you. I mean, once marginally bigger, but I think that's pretty random. Huh. And I don't know which one is which, but they're both cold. And that was my, that was my killbasa Odyssey from yesterday. That'll show you to get lunch. Amy, what were you thinking? You're thinking, let's, let's write this killbasa wrong. I did want to write that, but I did feel bad. So that's why I got you a cooked killbasa. And I do want to say that I told the guy, oh, I asked the guy three times. It's cooked, right? How many times cooked right three times? Three times full. Yeah, but you're saying the last time when he cooked right now, he means hot. I mean, he doesn't mean hot. You mean hot. He means he's hearing cook. Yeah, not raw. Anyway, no, that's Emmy. No reason to write any wrongs. And so listen, everyone in the future, when I wave it off and go, don't, don't bother. I mean it, don't bother. I think the rest of us are so used to passive aggressive people. It's like, you know what? Don't bother. Just don't bother. That does not mean don't bother. Right. I just forget it. You actually mean, no, forget it. Please for the love of God, forget it. No, I mean, obviously when you're with a woman and you go, your birthday is Wednesday. You want? Oh, no, no, we don't have to do anything. We're good. That does absolutely 1000% does not mean we're good. I just had that conversation this morning. If I tell you we're good, we're good. Are you good? Yeah. You know what? I just not in the mood. We got too much going on. I'm not in the mood. Come on, Gina. You may first is going to roll. You know what? I'm good. That means big flowers. It is a chef's table. It's a better world when people just go, yeah. We're going out for the zanian. When you're done, you're going to eat my pussy. Get that. It's a better world. It'd be a better world. It is. I'm like, oh, I don't know. Pretty tired. I do feel like that right now, but I know he's right when it rolls around back. Oh, we didn't do it. It's due to a lot of lasagna. All right. Let me tell you about bet online. A G man, March madness is over, but the most exciting time is upon us. NBA NHL. It's all happening right now that playoffs.

So, um, we got the Rotten Tomatoes game, but then I talk so much about sausage at the top. I think we should eat the sausage. Yeah, Rotten Tomatoes game tomorrow. That's what I think. And I think we should take a quick break and we should come back. And so let me explain everyone. Formatically, we're a little bit shaken up today because we're going to do the news next. Tucker Carlson, it was in last week. I had a pretty about a 45, 50 minute sit down with him. I know there's a fair amount of you that are going, if that guy I'm not listening, um, he talked a lot mainly about his childhood and sort of life experience. And I thought it was pretty revealing and made him very human. Now I know a lot of you aren't interested in somebody being human. That's something you should question. Now you shouldn't question the part of you that goes, I disagree with this person or I think he's a big mouth or I think he's a, hateful or I think he's a big it or I think he's anything you want to think he is or anybody is, uh, including people you work with or people in your neighborhood or whatever. You shouldn't be adverse to thinking that person thinks this way, but if you don't want to discover their humanity, now you're closed mind it. Right. If it prevents you from digging further or exposing yourself to another, it's not of someone. Yeah. I mean, I think everyone gets kind of dug in in their ideas and they have thoughts about immigration, have thoughts about taxes, they've thoughts about family, they've thoughts about crime, they've thoughts about government, they've thoughts about schooling. Okay. Fine. You shouldn't be too dug in to any of that, but okay. Have thoughts about it. But don't, don't be dug in on the humanity of whoever's making the argument. That really, that puts you into a box and it's really hard to see out of it. So it makes you just as bad as the person you claim to hate. You know, if nobody will certainly a version of it. So what I'm saying is as you may disagree with everything that comes out of Tucker Carlson's mouth, but you can still be open to his humanity. That's the story and that's one thing we should all sort of sort of be that, sort of be that way. And I think, um, I think you end up being happy. I'm not doing it for Tucker on Tucker's behalf. Tucker, I know Tucker's story. Yes. I think, I think it ends up making you a little better and a little more relaxed. Yeah. I never really listened to Tucker do anything with, uh, we're Tucker Carlson's evolved, but I, I was sitting behind the glass for that interview. And I, I loved all of it. On subscribe. All right. We will take a break with come right back with the news after this. The news with Gina. The news with Gina. So the BBC reports that US scientists say they used HIV to make a gene therapy that cured eight infants of basically bubble boy disease. And kids that have to be, you know, contained like juncture voltage. Like immunotherapy. Exactly. In a, in a, in literally promise for cancer too, in casing of a child their entire life. And frankly, they don't tend to live very long. They don't have functional immune systems and, you know, it takes forever and all these different ways to protect them. And this is very interesting. So untreated babies have, they have to live in these sterile conditions. They tend to die as infants, but the gene therapy involved collecting the new babies bone marrow and correcting the gene defect in their DNA has happened soon after birth. The correct gene, like I said, was inserted into an altered version of HIV. Researcher said most of the babies were discharged from the hospital a month later. Didn't you add them bring in the clip from whatever it was 20, 20, 60 minutes or something about immunotherapy and now retraining whatever it was, a typhus or HIV or something. I thought, I thought you brought that. Yeah, I'm, it sounds familiar. I think what we're learning, you know, we learned a valuable lesson in a movie starring John Wayne from 1970, hot, 69. No, no, hell fighters. Hell fighters. He played, oh, he played red a dare. Red a dare. I thought about this in a long time. Let's have Fred Astaire. No, I think it is. There's just red a dare. I think the guy's name was famous. Almost as famous as JJ Arms detective missing his arms. Oh, yeah. Red a dare. His claim to fame is he would, he got rich putting out oil well fires. There was, there was a lot of in Texas and whatever in the 60s or 50s, or whatever you imagine, those, those wells would go up and they just shoot flames 100 feet into the air. Now someone had to put them out. And the way to put, so you think like, how do you put those wells out, at least watching hell fighters with John Wayne, put a trash can on top. Eight. Eight. Reinjected with HIV. You have to get a male flight attendant who's got AIDS and he's stuff is ass right in that hole. Hello, Southwesters and emergency. No. No, but back to this, you blow it up. You don't put water on it. You blow it out. Like you take a stick, a dynamite just blow that thing out of there. And in a way, I'm starting to realize that our physiology is kind of that way. Like you go, oh, I have this or I have that. You don't go, oh, well, let's see if we can fix it with a bunch of a talcum powder. You go, no, let's get something even nastier and introduce that. And then that'll go after it. It is a, it is a hell fighters kind of way. So it's not suicide squad. Right. We're not putting it out with baking soda. We're putting out with dynamite. And I think our bodies are kind of that way. And he's starting to look that way. Wasn't that the jury doesn't? They weren't they criminals who were, I'm messing up the plumbing. No, they, well, red and air wasn't a criminal. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, you need criminals to do the criminal. You need the bad guys to do the bad guy. They were killed. Yeah, yeah, yeah, they were guys that were in the, they were in the military prison. Right. They were all freedom up and it was great. It's like, Jim Brown, of course, it's 1943, Jim Brown, black guy, okay, on all white per day, like, okay, now listen, you got to make it across that bridge. It's almost a hundred yards. You got to make it 8.7 seconds. Good news. It's like showing it running like, I don't know, whoever wrote that, it's got to go like, all right, Max Banner, red and air, sitting there, we don't have an internet, but it's a level five. Well, well, Hell fighters, 1968 and John Wayne played Chance Buckman. Oh, he names even better. Chance Buckman. Yeah, there's no red and air anywhere. Yeah, well, put in red and air and then you'll see who the movie was made after. They probably didn't use his name because they didn't want to license it or pay for it. Hey, special ed, who's your favorite dancer from the 50s? Chance Buckman. Oh, right, a dare. Chance Buckman. All right. Sorry, where were you? So real quick, I just remember this fragment of immune system. And bodies and whatever. Have you seen the trailer for the upcoming HBO series Chernobyl? Oh, no, because I watched it last night. It's like five minutes long and that my first thought was, well, now we're really never getting nuclear power back. Oh, no. This trailer is so traumatizing and so disturbing that my only thought was, well, this, that's, if we thought it was off the table before, after people see this, it's never coming back. So the thing about Chernobyl, you know, we're pretty, we have this weird thing, which is we need tons of energy all the time. And if it ever goes out in your house for more than 15 minutes, we're a rip shit mat. Like, this is bullshit. We're upset. So we just need tons and tons of energy all day, everyday. Could be your car. Oh, well, I got an electric car. Okay, you need an electric car. I got a charge at carb. Every light, every blender, every TV set, heat, and air. We need energy, energy, energy all day. And then here, here are the rules. Nobody can ever die and we can never have any negative side effects of all this energy that come from. But if it's cold, well, we don't like cold, but a lot of people can die, but, but who cares? And we have this kind of, we don't like the hydroelectric dams because the fish die, but we still need tons and tons of energy all the time. Chernobyl, I'm, I'm pulling a couple numbers out of my ass. But I'll bet you Chernobyl was built for sure in the 60s. And it was built by the Soviet Union. The only other day of the internet is out. It was wild claims. It was, it was old, bad, Soviet stuff. It wasn't the stuff they're building in Norway or Europe now with triple safety redundancies and all that kind of stuff. It was 60s era. I mean, if you look at, it could have been late 50s era, but if you look at a car from the late 50s, early 60s, it is not full of airbags and crumple zones and all the kind of stuff we have now. And if you look at a Soviet car, there's really not. So it's like, there's a piece of junk that's so, so, so, they don't care about their people. They'll put people around it or send people in or whatever it is. My feeling is more like, what about all the ones that have just been running in France for four years, just quietly making clean electricity? Well, and after I saw the trailer, it's so crazy that I started, you know, just wicking everything. It kind of went down a Chernobyl rabbit hole. But first of all, apparently that meltdown was caused by a test. It's not like it just something caught fire. They were, they were messing with it to see what would happen. And I read this because this to your point, they, you know, they moved everybody out of that area, you know, as soon as possible. And pollution wise, they said most of the residents would have been better off and now that they have a compromised immune system. They would have been better off staying there than being moved to Kiev where there was so much pollution they all died early anyway. Yeah. I don't think so, but come on. And that's, you know, not black and white, but that's crazy to me. Yeah. Anyway, Hellfighter loosely based on red a dare. Yep. Yeah. After he was generally known in 1962 after extinguishing a Sahara Desert gas well fire called the Devil's cigarette lighter. Yeah. Yeah. That's good. Well, speaking of fire, Adam, you and that crystal brain strike again, officials investigating the fire at Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris believe it was an electrical short circuit that was likely the cause. Makes sense. People were talking about, you know, and I even said, because that's what I'd read, it was probably scaffolding and renovation induced, but no, although the official claim was that and that it's still not confirmed, information gathered from interviews of 40 people at the 850 old landmark point to an electrical short. Staffelding is just a way to work in an elevated plot environment. There's no mechanical. It's not killing though. No. It's metal and they don't, they don't really, the planks that go across are oftentimes wood, but they never, there's no reason of scaffolding would cause a fire. Well, investigators are said to be focusing on the temporary elevators being used during the renovation, but again, nothing's confirmed yet. They're still trying to figure this out. In Japan, they're scaffolding as bamboo. That's awesome. Is it really? Yeah, it's awesome because bamboo is super light and it's super strong and super flexible and I love the notion of having a bunch of nothing hold so much. Makes sense. It probably looks good too. So, you know how sometimes people keep things as pets when they shouldn't. Yeah. It happened again. A man was killed and a woman was critically injured after they were attacked by their pet deer that was on their real property in Australia, according to Fox News. The animal described as a cross between a red deer and an elk had been kept for six years as a pet. 46 year old Paul McDonald went out to feed it, you know, everything was fine and then he got brutally attacked. Please, let me tell you something about animals. They're like these non domesticated animals. They're basically like 15 year old golf kids who hate their stepdad and listen to too much do. Just looking for a reason. They may be fine or they may shoot up to school the next day. Like we have no idea. Right. I'm just saying, do you want to live with that? No. I don't want to live with that because they make it and also they go years of just being fine and then one day they're not fine and that's when they show up to school in the in the duster. So, my thing is like let's get that off the table. Any any of these animals, anything with big teeth or big antlers in a super small brain not not interested or able to squeeze the life out of you. Yeah. So how works you have a pet snake for eight years, a pet snake is fine and then one day you wake up and it's on top of you because the way snakes were. Yeah, but I think we're I think we should blame viral videos like, you know, the dodo or whatever that site is that shows like a lion re reuniting with his trainer 20 years later and it's hugging him and there's way too many of those videos and people like it way too much. Well, it's funny. We graft all this stuff on to everything around us all the time. So we graft things on as humans, we should do less grafting like when you're driving. When you're driving on the freeway and somebody cuts you off, you go, oh, that asshole. Once they're going to run at me, it's like that guy was looking at his phone and trying to find his off ramp. He was looking at his garment. There's ways or something. I was telling him he doesn't even know your life. And like when the squirrel comes up, like, oh, he's curious. He wants to know. He wants to be friends with the dog or whatever it is. Yeah. He's melancholy because because sex in the city's off the air. He's like, he's contemplative. Look at him thinking about the world. Oh, man. I blame my parents too. He's in an existential crisis. He's right. No, he's not. All right. He pretty bummed out about the old Trump administration thing. I get it. I'm blind. I've never been an equal. Yeah. No, he doesn't know. He's a dumb little thing who wants to eat or fuck or or something or bite or whatever it is. Stop doing that with the pets. Stop doing it with people. Stop grafting. You know, good and bad. Yeah. They're just not. They're just not. I mean, you know, it happens all the time. You know, you know, you're like Phil will look at you certain ways. Like it's just look at you. Like, come on now or whatever. And you look at him and your eyes are locking you go, oh, he's thinking. How he he understands where I'm coming from. Whatever. It's like, no, he doesn't. He's just looking. He's just looking. I'm grafting that onto him. It's a big glistening eyes. You're like, he sees into myself. I know. Look at me. You want something, but I'm holding a Emmied brought a third on cook, Kilbasa over to the house that night and Phil wants a shot at it. Sorry. Yeah, just don't craft stop grafting everybody. Yeah, and then you'll stay alive. Mm hmm. Well, Demi Moore is ready to tell all about her relationships with her former husbands, Bruce Willis, Ash, Ash and Kutcher. The actress is going to publish a memoir titled Inside Out. It's described as deeply candid and insightful. We're, all right. So last week we're sitting here and we're kind of talking about the Robert Kraft, Bud Pull and Sex tape and we're like, I don't, I don't, I don't want to go into that side of the pool. Like, I don't, I think it's invasion of privacy. I was saying this 20 years ago, Brian may remember when we're talking about Tommy Leigh and Pam Anderson and stuff like that. I was like, I'm not, that's their tape. Not just for me. I was too busy watching the tape. Right. But it's not, I'm not interested. Yeah. I feel like I am kind of part of the problem if I go indulge myself in that. I mean, she is writing it. It's not. I really, she's writing it, but I don't know what Ash and Bruce feel about it. And I, but, but bigger picture, how much of this should be interesting to you in your life. Like what, what? I know it's, it's titling. Like our initial impulse is like, oh boy, I wonder what kind of funky shit Bruce was into the bedroom or whatever it was. But then after the initial buzz of that, shouldn't we all just go, let's go to new of my kids or my family or my lively, like whatever. Who really wants to read this whole thing? Yes. That being said, I did do a little digging because I was curious about something and I did. Enough Chernobyl. Do you know who Freddie Moore is? Freddie Moore, the guy put out oil, Derek Farrish back in the street. Freddie Chance Buckman Moore. I hadn't heard of him, but I was just, you know, they gave a few excerpts. I was like, who's Freddie Moore? And I guess that's where she got her last name. Apparently she married him. Oh, oh, yes. Did you know that? Yes, I saw a behind the music or behind the, you know, one of those things, the AJ pants of the sort, whatever, you know, way back in the day. And I saw one on her and, yeah, she was married to this musician. Who had straightish, uh, dishwater kind of blonde and like round glasses or something. Exactly. It was like a few years older and- You want yours 29? Oh, more than a few years older. Real sunny and share moment here. And he was just this dude that like, I just remember his kind of looks skinny, straight blonde hair and like round, uh, German scientist glasses. Yeah. So they got married when she, just a few months later when she technically turned 17. I think they were divorced when she was 23. That is something I did not know. No, yeah. You're a little older than I am out of it. But to me more was at her peak when I was at my peak. You know what I'm saying when I was coming up, coming a man. Mm hmm. She pulled off the short haircut quite well. Quite well. Yeah. She, in terms of the aesthetic for me, I think she had a boob job and she may have had no job. I don't know, but definitely a boob job. A thick and ghostish, you know, a few good men air. You don't remember one crazy summer? Oh, the John Qsack and I never, I never got it. I never got, I have the same relationship with hers. I have with the cast of friends, the female cast of friends. I just, I get it. Everyone's attractive. But as long as we're doing it like, look, as long as we're talking about cars, we'll never own. You know what I mean? Like, like you guys are fantasizing a lot about a dots in 370 Z. And it's like, I'm going to the Ferrari 599. And you're like, well, what about that Z? It's like, all right, we're not going to own that car, but that car is $51,000. And this one's 275. And I'll go with the 599. I'll fantasize about that as long as we're never dating or touching each other. So, yeah, Damien never let into it. But is she, does she need money? I don't know. She was going to get money now. She was going to get more of the highest paid actresses in Hollywood, maybe the highest paid at some point. But that's how long she, she's gone through a lot of money. Cougar town. Did she, or no, that's Courtney Cox. Yeah, I got confused. What do you, what do you think the advance is on a book like they said it was seven figures? Oh, yes, it's definitely seven figures. But the question is, is I don't know. I mean, you could be, I think the Obama's got like $66 million. I think for two books or something like that. I don't know, but it's, it's we're talking. Oh, I mean, we're, we're talking five plus. And, and for that kind of money, you're going to have to really throw a couple people into the bus. And also, look, I, you know, maybe I'm flying in my own face here in terms of my life morality. But if you read it in that book, it's true because as a guy's written a few books, you get on the phone with that lawyer. And if you said, hey, you know, Bruce Willis, he had a sex swing and we, we had it up in the bedroom and blah, blah, blah. And you did not have a sex swing and Bruce Willis did not buy one and did not install one in your bedroom. He is going to sue you. And they need to know he won't sue you if you did. Yeah. He won't like it. He may, but he's probably not because his people ago, they can't win. But whatever it is, if you're talking about his affairs or the sex swing or ash and bring your third girl into the bedroom and blah, blah, blah, what a second girl in the bedroom and third person. Sorry. Or girl. Or girl. Either way, if none of that happened, you're going to get sued. Yeah. So you have to verify it. 100% right. You know what a great example that is is when Jose Konsec wrote that book, juiced, remember all the guys in the steroids. Everyone was like, oh, how dare you. Where are the lawsuits? Yeah. It's all true. It's 100% true. I first off, it's whenever they get super specific like he's like a rod, wanted an injection, but he didn't know how to do it. So we went into the bathroom stall and he dropped his drawers and he was worried about, you know, blah, blah, you go, okay, they're really super specific stuff. And again, yeah, cry all you want and say, oh, this guy's nuts. He's insane. This is all the ranting of a lunatic. Okay. Now sue it. File, file, file, file, file, free. Yeah. No one ever does. And that's how it works. Yeah. I totally agree with us. All right. Let me tell you about the cast rod led stronger under pressure. The engines can lose up to 10% of performance due to friction, cast rod ledge with fluid titanium, transforms under pressure, keep the metal parts from rubbing and robin power from one another three times, three times full stronger than leading full synthetic against viscosity breakdown, cast rod edge, formulated in ways to exceed the toughest industry standards. All right. You know what else? Give me a, how many more you want? Three. Okay. You got it. Well, Lori Loughlin learned last week that her tax returns will be audited by the IRS and inciders that she's being audited for five years on personal income taxes along with three years of massimos business. The college admission scam featured a donation to the charity. So now, of course, they're opening the books. Careful what you missed, poor folks. Yeah. Looking into the donations. I said it. I said it once. I said a million times. It's a really, why bother being rich anymore? Like, screw it. I've always said the day you get arrested for bribery, it's off. It's not worth it. The best part about Frank Sinatra. Look at good fellas. The greatest part of that life is showing up at the Copa. And it's like, we're sold out. Okay. Right. This way. So that's why you get rich. That's why those days, now you just have a target on your back and blah, blah, blah. Like I was answering somebody's tweet. They're like, you're rich right? And I said, listen, I said on Friday, I said, I'm getting on a Southwest flight. I'm going to San Francisco to work, do four shows. I'm going to sit next to Mike August on a Southwest flight. And we're going to share a sack of trail mix. How about I self-read now? I'm not rich. My wife and kids are rich. I'm not rich. I'm getting on a Southwest flight and going to work. And frankly, it's not even worth it anywhere. If you can't bribe people or have people snuffed out, forget it. What's the point? Yeah, what's the point? Well, speaking of target, the Department of Justice mailed their daughter, Olivia J, to target letter. And she's become a subject of the operation and the University of Blues investigation. So now the kids are getting these target letters, which means they're not being charged with stuff, but now they're more on the radar. And I didn't know, I didn't know this about Massimo Genouli, but as a funny sort of USC connection, her father and Lori Loughlin's husband. Not funny. Thanks. According to the hundreds blog site, Massimo faked his way through USC in a different way. He had been reporting that during his college days in the 80s, he dropped out and he didn't tell his parents. So for three more years, he kept collecting the tuition money from his parents and used it to launch his business. A smart. Yeah. That's an entrepreneur. And then pay to cajillion dollars in taxes. The end. The end. Well, I don't know. I don't know. I'm going to shake everyone down. All right. Look, people should pay their taxes. Don't get me wrong. But this, uh, notion of like, oh, we got to go. I don't know. I have a, it's super easy being me. I just have a ledger. And now in that ledger are people that are contributing to this rock soup we're all making called society. And they're those are just ladling out that thing into their bowl. And if you're ladling it into your bowl, I got a problem with you. I mean, if you're contributing, I don't have a problem. And the notion of, but how much are you contributing? That's a factor, but I'm really focused on the ones that are just taking it out of the bowl out of the big crock pot. Right. That's, that's where I'd like to focus. Yeah. We as a society want to focus on the people that are, you know, contributing the carrots and the, and the dice step cubed up, uh, B for whatever it is. Yeah, you're putting it in and we're like, yeah, but how much are you putting in? And I, and what rate are you putting in? And my thing is like, I like to, I like to keep an eye on that, but I like to keep an eye on the folks that are just taking it out. All right. Yeah. Good point. Great. We don't have an internet, do we? It just came back. Oh, it just came back. Oh, mm-hmm. All right. Yeah. What percentage of our country doesn't pay federal income tax? Curious about that. I think it's alarmingly high. Well, must be nice. All right. Uh, so a London auction house has sold a copy of Harry Potter and the philosopher's stone for $90,000 because, uh, this happens to be a pretty rare copy. That's an early, early edition. Yeah. And it's the Sorcerer's Stone by the time I go over here. Exactly. Exactly. According to Bonham's auction house, the book was a first edition, first printing of the novel that introduced Muggles to Harry and the Gang in 1997. It also cites the author as Joanne Rowling, as opposed to JK Rowling. It's one of about 500 copies that exists. It has certain misspellings and grammatical errors that make it special. And like Brian said, it's called Harry Potter and the philosopher's stone. We know it as the Sorcerer's Stone. And it was, it was rare enough to make itself for almost $100,000. Kind of, I don't like this nerd junk, but on the other hand, I love the idea of all this stuff going up because I got some of it. So I'm fine with them. They're being a market. Yeah. First edition Harry Potter's. Yeah. I know you're a Potter head. I've never seen the movie. I've never read the book. No, I've never seen any of that. I like the idea of it. It's never got around to. I've seen all the movies. They're good. They're fine for a certain generation. That's their Star Wars. That's, you know, Star Trek. That's, that's huge for them. More than 44 percent of Americans. So more than 44, let's just say word about half. If it's more than 40, pay no federal income taxes. It's 44.4, but it's just as well. Oh, well then it's 44. It's 44 percent. I don't get it on that. I don't know, but I'd like to start looking into what's going on on that end of the ledger and a little less into Mossimo. Yeah, but that's me. Mm-hmm. Well, she also got booted from when calls the heart on lifetime. You know, it's funny. And people, people, it's sweet me and go, I know you have this joke about getting more because you pay more. I go, I'm not, but you, I know you're not serious. And I go, I'm absolutely serious. And they go, what? And I go, look to the universe. Forget about this country. We'll go into every other country and we'll go to the universe. What other system works this way? What other system other than the government taking your money? What other system works where you pay a million, you pay 10,000, we get the same. It doesn't exist. So this notion that what I'm thinking is insane, I'm pushing it right back and you and trying to find another system. And I kind of mean it. I wouldn't mind if we could find an example of where somebody just paid or put in or did whatever to a much greater extent than another and didn't receive more than the other. Anyway, everyone always thinks I'm a douche when I say that, but that's kind of my, I've also realized that we got Tucker Carlson coming up. Tucker Carlson can't say that because he did, even though he grew up without his mom, he grew up with privilege, you know. And most people or many people that are in that position have that sort of guilt of the past. I don't have any of that. So I just say dumb things that anger everybody. All right. Let's do one more. All right. Well, just because you're married, even if you're super, super happily married, it doesn't mean you should give up your friendships. A new study out of the University of Texas found that when couples had issues in their relationships, having friends to turn to makes a big difference in your health. Who are the people that choose to go through life without friends? I'm so, I find it fascinating. Like I realize like my dad and my mom really don't have friends per se or they didn't, you know, they had some a little bit, this and that, but not really. I had friends, man, because I needed my friends to survive and needed to eat at their house and sleep over their house. Yeah, not emotionally. That's been a lot of time with them and all the things I got to do that sounded like something like, you know, going skiing. I went skiing with Jeff Pucks family, you know, going motorcycle right now. I went dirt riding with Chris Bones family, like all these kinds of things I just did with other people's families. But there are people that just like, there's like 68 year old dudes that just don't have any friends. Yeah. It's counterintuitive to me. I don't why wouldn't you do that? And my God can friends help. I mean, it's everyone thinks in terms of like, oh, well, your friends, you know, that's good for bowling or going to a movie or talking if you have a problem or something like that. Friends can make your career. Friends, friends can completely alter your course. I mean, friends, relationships, whatever we're calling them can take what you're doing and push it in a positive direction that's the likes of you couldn't even imagine. Yeah. I don't get why I've personally, anecdotally, I've noticed it's much more of a male thing because all I'm lucky. I know at this age to have this many girlfriends and this many friends, it's not normal. I'm very lucky. I really do feel that way. But a lot of the girls in my friend group, there's like a tight, you know, 10 or 11 of us. And if they get a new boyfriend or something, it's well, it's just tearless. If there, whenever there's a new boyfriend that comes in, he doesn't really, we don't meet anyone in his life. He's now in our friend group and we do our best to, you know, embrace everyone and get to know him. But they don't, the guys in my experience tend not to bring their own sort of people with them. Yeah. Yeah, they're, I mean, guys, guys are a little more solo, whatever, they go, they're wired that way. They go the garage. They, they went around on the car all Saturday, whatever. But I, I just think I, I have seen firsthand going back to my poverty. When I look at my parents, they're inability to network. They're inability to find their version of a Jimmy Kimmel when they're young and go, hey, this guy's going somewhere or that guy's going somewhere or, you know, I mean, it's like, I met Jimmy Kimmel. Jimmy Kimmel and I became great friends. We were friends and we sort of, we would collaborate as well. And then we went to the weenie roast and I saw John Stewart and John, we're friends with John Stewart and yeah. And then John Stewart was with Daniel Kellison and then Daniel Kellison was like, oh, hey, and then Jimmy's like, you work for Letterman and then we're all friends and then we made a bunch of money. And you were, you're 30. Or close to it at that point. Yeah. I was 30. Yeah. Yeah. I go from TMZ in here. And you know, our daughters in the same class. And he's like, I have enough friends. I don't even make it to our friends. I'm like, you're doing it. It's a shitty way to go through life. All right. OK. Well, I get the ones you're kids. Sometimes you kid step and shit and track it home. Mhmm. Mhmm. I mean, friends parents. Yeah. Dolphin. I saying them about you. Yeah. Italian parents friends. Mm-hmm. I mean, friends parents. Yeah. Kevin, I was saying that about you. Yeah, I'm sure. So there is that thing every once in a while, where you have to kind of deal with people. Yeah, that is true. But now, but that's not you going and finding Jimmy, or Daniel or John Stewart or whoever it is. All right, let's see. Let me hit one and we'll do one more. Trains. Very dangerous. They take over a mile to stop. And you don't want to be caught in the cross traffic of that train, do you, man? So if the signal's going and the train's not there yet, and you feel tempted to sneak across the tracks, don't ever do that. Trains are going fast. They're moving faster than you expect. They sort of look like, eh, not going that fast. I could make it. No, you can't. And by the way, you ain't going to be injured. You're going to be taken out if you make contact with the train. So let's just slow your roll. Sit behind that arm. Mind those blinking red lights. When I want to ball you up and do a chunk of metal, that red a dare would have to put out himself. You be chance, Buckman. Chance, Buckman. So if the signals are on, the train's on its way. So just remember one thing. Stop because the trains can't stop. Thank you. And let's be safe, people. All right, one more. Well, the Houston Astros are facing a lawsuit alleging the team's mascot orbit fired a t-shirt cannon during the game last season and broke a woman's finger, according to Fox News. Jennifer Harrody claimed in the lawsuit that orbit shattered her left index finger during a July game when a t-shirt fired from a bazooka-style canyon in the stands, hit her finger, claiming that the fracture required two surgeries. She claims her finger remains locked in an extended position with little to no range of motion. She wants a million bucks. The team, not caving to this. They said this statement, they are aware of the lawsuit and the allegations against orbit. But they say, quote, we do not agree with the allegations. The Astros will continue to use fan-popular t-shirt launchers during games. As this is an ongoing legal matter, we have no further comment. Well, the only way you could break your finger with this is if it was fired directly at you at a short distance, that's one thing. But I'm sure what happened here is she fired it up to the second deck. She's leaning over trying to grab for it. Yeah, I would end up getting this. She was trying to catch it. Yeah, screw her. Yeah, that should happen, bitch. With all the news that we're always talking about, why does everybody cave? Why does everybody settle? The Astros say no. It's not our fault. We use t-shirt games all the time. Everybody's fine. Well, also, this is like a Furby shooting a t-shirt. So this isn't one of those, like, I've been around companies. Everyone's been around this thing where it's like, you're being accused of race discrimination and employment or whatever, Nabisco goes, I don't, we don't want any of that. We don't want any of that. And then someone will go, why? We didn't do anything wrong. You go, yeah, but we don't want to drag on. What's the problem? So this one is not salacious. This doesn't have any of those elements. Maybe it's just this. Maybe it's because of a race. Yeah. Broke her finger. We don't have to do it. But we don't, they is the, they, as a company, you have to bite on this stuff if it involves race or sexual discrimination, any form of oppression, discrimination, any of that kind of, you better jump on it, if not, then I'll care. Screw you. Screw them in your finger. Yeah, take that finger. Put it over the sundown shine, Missy. Straight it out. Yeah. All right, let's bring it home. You got it. I'm Gina Grad, and that's the news. We're going out for the Zion Inn. When you're done, you're going to eat my pussy. Gina Gina! That was the news. With Gina Grad. Yeah, be more forthcoming Gina. You owe it to your man. I will. I really, truly did feel like we, we're so exhausted, let's just forget it this year, but I think he's right. I think that day is going to roll around and be bummed. We love his onion. Yeah. Well, both. And you say what you want. I think you're right. We'll go for it. You know what I, it strikes me that a lot of people when they go like, oh, don't worry about me. And you go, okay, and then they go, and then they go, what? And they're putting themselves into that position. Of course they are. And you shouldn't do that. If you want to do something, do it. And if you don't, don't. And you want kebabs. Be more specific. Yeah. All right. Sacramento Thunder Valley, resort and casino coming up this Friday. I'll be there. Why shouldn't I work every weekend, right, Max Patta? That's right. Casino Bucks, baby. We're going out, man. We're eating, baby. Piles of noodles. Ray Amprov coming up May 17th and 18th. That'll be, well, at least we'll sleep in my own bed. And Tucker Carlson coming up. I should tell you guys also, Adam Krole goes racing, new season on Vero. Check that out and get it at dot Vero dot co slash ace. Is that correct? Okay. And I love that you guys are enjoying my special, not Taco Bell material. That's a chassis to us as in a wine, Amazon and iTunes and all that. Give it a nice rate. I enjoy reading them. So Tucker Carlson coming up next until next time. Sam Krole for Gina Grand Ball brine. Now, we'll do it at the end of that one. Yeah. Okay. All right. So enjoy Tucker Carlson as you probably never heard him next. Well our old friend Tucker Carlson is back in studio. And see you Tucker. Thanks for having me. My pleasure. The show obviously Tucker Carlson tonight, which is weeknight's APM Eastern, by the way, see you at five o'clock out here in California at least on Fox News in the book. Ship of fools as well. How a selfish ruling class is bringing America to the brink of revolution. And that's available on Amazon or wherever you find better books. So I had this notion Tucker and we'll see how this works and then you tell me what you think. But I have this thing in life, which is I'm very friendly with you and I'm friendly with Dennis Prager and I'm friendly with Jimmy Kimmel and I'm friendly with many people with many different political opinions. Yeah. And I think I'm very friendly with people who take on these guys are they're all good people and they have great, they're great family people that you'd love. You'd love Jimmy Kimmel to be your neighbor and you'd love Dennis Prager to be your neighbor as well. Not so much Tucker because when the angry mob shows up at the house, you have to shut the lights of pretend you're not home. That's my neighbors do that. Be happy as hell to share a drink, a beer with Jimmy Kimmel or cigar with Dennis Prager. I'm not sure why there's this crazy chasm between folks that could check a box. If there was a laundry list of boxes to check that were 50 long, they would each check the same 44 boxes and there'd be about six of them that might differ. But all the other ones would be checked. Why is there this chasm? And it's sort of I understand we have bad wiring as a civilization sometimes and there's a mob mentality. But my thought when Tucker Carlson was coming in here today was I know Tucker Carlson is a really sweet guy and then I hear what people claim you are and you've probably heard a few of those claims as well. And I thought why don't we get to know Tucker Carlson, the individual and Tucker Carlson at 15 and Tucker Carlson at 23 and less Tucker Carlson and what's going on with the Mueller report or at the at the Southern border. I agree with that. And I by the way, I agree more broadly with what you said about having friends who you disagree with on whatever trade policy or God knows what some political issue. It doesn't make them not your friends and I have my whole life had friends and still do so my closest friends who I disagree with. I have children I disagree with. I mean, you know what I mean? It doesn't doesn't end the relationship. I think this whole way of looking at the world through an exclusively political lens is a bad idea. It's a dead end. Not only that, but it's kind of you want to talk about the rich pageantry of life that they're everything from race cars to hummingbirds to waterfalls to the experiences you could have in life and the notion that we're going to take the most divisive kind of uncomfortable nuts and bolts and numbers and whatever part of life politics or take politics the most frustrating part of all that is life is politics. You know, taking a hike in Maui is not frustrating and driving a race car is not frustrating. It's exhilarating and paragliding is exhilarating. Wrestling with your kids throwing the football to your son going out to dinner with your family. The idea that we take this thing known as politics the most frustrating because it by nature is frustrating. It can be no it can't be anything but frustrating and the notion that we take that we go, all right, I'm going to make that 89% of my life. That's an insane. It's a recipe for unhappiness and over time for mental illness. I mean, my whole week is structured around getting my head away from politics for a sufficient amount of time every day that I don't go crazy doing a show about politics. If you know what I mean, like you have to make yourself and I do make myself, I would fishing every single day last week in the Potomac River with my fly rod every single day. And I got up early to do it because I couldn't stand the idea of sitting at a desk, staring at a screen or texting about politics all day would make me into a really bad person worse than I already am. But it is, it's a siren song and it'll lure you into the rocky. But it's by design. It's by look, it's for the same look, I smoke Marble Reds for many years. And as a cab driver once said to me when I was a kid, he goes, yeah, they put something in these. You know what I mean? Like there's something about a Marble Reds. It's not the same as a Winston or a parliament or a Benson and a head just like it's better. And that's why it's the most popular cigarette in the world. And I thought, you know, that's true. And it turned out, of course, to be true. There was a formula designed to make it habitual and over time addictive. These debates are taking place for a reason where we never, what was last time you heard a sincere debate about our tax code? Wow. Why is it that you as a working man pay literally twice the rate of someone who inherited money and is living off the interest? I mean, that's a fair, look, maybe there's a good reason for that. It blows my mind that that's not the topic of like 50% of our debates because it's at least that important. That's never discussed. Instead, we talk about gender and race and other things that are irresolvable, not that interesting actually. Don't get us anywhere and are guaranteed to make us hate each other for life. The worst possible topics for debate. And I think I'm not a conspiracy nut, but I think if I'm benefiting from a screwed up tax code, I would rather people debate transgender bathrooms and debate the tax code because I'm going to lose that debate ultimately. That's what I think I think it's true. Yeah. I mean, there's an element of jingling the keys over here and drawing everyone's attention. And it always, it's confounding because the whole thing about race, well, first off, if there's anything that's not changeable, it's the color of your skin or your gender. So although we're getting a little more fluid in the gender department, but by and large, if you're a woman or you're black or you're a spanic or you're male, whatever you are, you're just that. So this notion that we're going to start our attack based on something that's not changeable is kind of a weird approach. Like if you were a basketball coach and you wanted to win, you'd start talking about handling the ball, going to your left, moving the ball, fundamentals, pick plays, boxing out, all the basketball stuff. You wouldn't yell at all your point guards to get taller. No, no, you wouldn't because that would be a waste of your time. It'd be waste of the point, it'd be wasted, the school's time, be wasted. If everyone wanted to win, it would get you no closer to winning because it's not really changeable. And if every time someone started talking about your record or points or three pointers or whatever and you just kept going back to the height of the point guards, you would never have any progress in the discussion. So maybe if you kept doing that over time, it would be fair to conclude that you're not really interested in winning. You have another objective. Well, if you think about it and you realize that, you know, if you want to take that sort of analogy and then we're going right into Tucker's formative years, because that's what I want to talk about. If you said, you know, you're talking about black America. And you said, look, it's, it's, it's oppressive racism and it's the, the Jim Crow past and it's everything else. And it's basically talking about the height of the point guard, which is slavery, Jim Crow, the society is, we knew it in the 50s or societies we knew it in 1850 or 1950, unchangeable. It's, it's unchangeable. It's no more changeable than the outcome of World War II. It's just, it's utterly unchangeable. So 9, 11 is unchangeable. World War one is the sinking of the Lucidania. These things are all unchangeable. Baked in the cake. Right. So now we could focus on what we could do moving forward to make, make things better for a community. But if you want to keep going back, we'll never fix anything moving forward. And that's kind of the argument of the coach, it's in power. His job is to not get fired, not win, just not get fired. And I think if your job is to stay in place, keep hammering checks and keep a status quo, then that's your argument. And that is, it's funny. You mentioned it. That is in fact, their argument. Right. Okay. So Tucker, young Tucker, Tucker grows up out here in Southern California, right? Yep. Where do you grow up? Is it in Sino? No, I lived here when I was little in Studio City. Studio City, which is sort of a town and a half over from in Sino. So that's right around my neck of the woods. Yeah. So right on, right, basically it's on the valley side of Lurkanean, above Dupars. Remember Dupars on the Dupars, the restaurant, right? And a buddy's toys on Ventura and that's, I grew up right over that back when they had back when there was something magical about entering a toy store. Yeah. Do you remember buddies? Yeah, I do. It's a place we weren't allowed to go. Yeah. It was down in 1975 and I went to the fire. I never will forget it. It was, it was, it was, it seemed my, our kids go on the internet and look at stuff on Amazon, but it's, they don't get the smell of entering buddy's store. Exactly. And then all the forbidden fruit behind the counter, like in the glass display, like the expensive locomotive cranes, like that, looking at the really cool, detailed stuff that they could pull out for you, but only if you were a serious player. Exactly. So you grew up in studio city and up above Dupars. Yeah, on Laurel Terrace up there. And then in 1976, when I was six years old, about to turn seven, my parents got divorced. And I moved in my mother left the country and I moved with my dad and my brother to La Jolla. And this happened at basically the same time that he got fired from ABC here in LA where he was an anchor. So you guys were up in for people that are listening around the country, sort of the house from Boogie Nights kind of area when they went to Alfred Molinas house and the kid was throwing the firecrackers. That was kind of the Eagles lived right down the street. Yeah. That was to give you some sense over where we lived. Yeah. So your mom leaves the country. That's unique. Yeah. And we felt so at the time. But actually, no, it wasn't, it was not unique. It was not even unusual really. I mean, she, I think had to find herself or whatever. What was, what country did she go to? She went to France. Was that, did she have any connection to France? You know, I don't honestly, I mean, the truth is I don't really know. Because I never saw her again. But that is, you know, I'm putting on my, my love line hat here because I've talked a lot of people and I was sort of estranged from my mom as well. So I kind of identify with this, which is I've said to Dr. Drew many times. When a father abandons the family, it's sort of a, it's a lot of biology. It's a lot of like, I want to move to Florida and bang a cocktail waitress. Exactly. I'll send you Teddy bear. Exactly. For Christmas and me and mom want you to, I want to introduce you to my lady friend. Exactly. You know, and there's a lot of that. But I said, when a woman leaves the family, there's something going on. Of course. Deeply psychologically with the woman. And so your mom must have been going through something for her. I mean, she was a drug and alcohol person is the, is the truth of it. And she had a completely bizarre life. To the extent I know much about it. I don't really know what ton about it. She died seven years ago. So she left when I was six and she died when I was, let's see, 44, 43. So, you know, almost 40 years. And never, no, never talk to her. Never a word. No. And so my aunt called me when she died. She lived on a farm in the Pyrenees. I guess I've never been there. My brother and I were her only heirs. She'd been married a couple of times. She was married to David Hockney's boyfriend. Wow. Quite some time. Little strange. Yeah. A guy called Mo McDermott. I don't know. Whatever. It was totally and she herself is a sculpture. Apparently, I'm not an expert on her life. And I, I've meant to go back and learn something about it. But I just have such a busy life myself. Is there. And so I'm, there's a fair, there's some parallels here. Although my mom never left Valley Village. She's still alive. She's still alive. And much of what I've learned. I've learned a lot from people that inspire me and are out creating and doing super positive things. But I've probably learned more from people that are. Fuck off. Oh, for sure. Are you kidding? I've learned every, by the way, I've learned nothing from succeeding myself. Not one thing. Success tells you nothing other than keep doing what you're doing, kid, which is terrible advice always. Right. Only failure teaches you and other people's failures are just remarkable templates for avoiding disaster. So I think you and I seem to share this set of values, mind set, default setting, whatever you want to call it, which is we don't have time for the fluff behind the sky, sort of artists kind of nonsense, hippie, flower power, whatever, because we realize it's all just veiled. It's it's all depression and substance abuse. It's a field failed in this free to be you and me kind of thing. Like I discovered that as well for my mother, but you have to grow up around it to know that. And I don't know if I've ever quite put it as well as you just did. But that's that's why it's all a cover actually for what's really sad. It's like it's a lot of the stuff is is a nicer way of saying, you know, I'm like a sad drunk with a blow problem. It's no one wants to hear that. So it's like, no, really, I'm an artist. And oh, it's very complicated. It's actually not complicated. Your shit faced every day, right? It's really complicated about that. And until you stop, it's not getting better. Okay. And also I found this from my own mother and experiences. And I think you guys now see it out on the streets of the protest or college campuses just below the veneer of it's all good vibes. And you can't judge and we're all just made and, and you know, our creators, likeness or mother nature. It's all about earth and nature and holding hands and kumbaya is an unfettered rage. A crazed rage that is a matter of fact, the whole reason we're getting this good vibes and we'll put the daisies in the barrels of the rifles is because just below it is a simmering rage. Exactly. And you see it. It's funny. You'll see a manifestation of it. You'll see these liberal college professors female, like, oh, they're wearing a hemp sweater that they knitted themselves and they, they just left a drum circle and they, they're eating granola from a hand-throen pottery jar and something. And then the second you crack that veneer, they start screaming like, get some back, get some muscle in here. Get these guys out. Like it's like, where did the, where did the crazed rage come from? I'll tell you where it comes from. It comes from their unsatisfying personal lives from their, you know, absent or alcoholic fathers from there. I mean, they're all mad at their dad. They're all mad at their dads. Everybody. I, everyone who's mad at the system, everyone's who's mad at the government. Everyone's mad at Uncle Sam is mad at their dad. 100%. That's the way I love my dad. I've always loved my dad. I've, for all the problems I've had in my life, most of them created by, that I've created myself and something I didn't. The one thing I've had is a really good father. So I never, one of the reasons I never talk about my childhood is because actually, I had great childhood. It's just, it was weird, but it was great. Well, I'm fascinated and the, so the mom, the situation with the mom is in, in my humble opinion, your dad did everything he could to make that. Mountain into a molehill totally and not only a molehill, but like actually a super fun ski hill. Like we had a great time, but, but there's still an element of, of a son being abandoned by his mom that is sort of there. I don't know that you think about it every day. I don't know if it affects you. I just know from a sort of psychodynamic way, it's kind of there, right? I mean, did you hold on? I mean, I bitterly hated her if that's what you mean. Yeah, she didn't like us and she was, you know, I mean, I'm leaving some stuff out, not whining. I'm just saying like this stuff doesn't, it's never as simple as you, as your memory suggests it is. No, I mean, no, she was not a good mom and cruel and you can just imagine, or just trust me, she was. And so, and she was cruel to my brother, which is the thing that, if I'm being honest, really upsets me most. I have my younger brothers, my best friend, and you're, and I have younger than I am, lives walking distance from me in Washington and, in fact, he's coming out to LA, I'm having dinner with him tomorrow night. But, you know, he, yeah, so anyway, whatever, I'm not getting it up. But the point is she, you know, was not a good mother. And so, yeah, and some of us mad about it. What I was so struck by though, that, okay, here's what I learned from it. So, all these years, she's gone, I don't know what happened to her. I don't know where she is. I ran into one of my cousins when I went to boarding school in the East Coast. And one of my cousins was there, I didn't even know where cousins, that's probably, you know, part of the, of the result of having a screwed up family as you run into relatives, you didn't know you had. And so, he tells me, oh, yeah, your mother's in France or in Europe somewhere. Oh, really? Okay. So, I say to my wife, I get married really young, I get married at 22, in part because I found the perfect woman to marry. In part, because I thought I want to create like a really happy, stable, big family, like I didn't have. And I want to be a normal parent. And I just want, you know, I mean, I think it's pretty normal. Right. But I always said to my wife for 25 years, I said, the one thing I'm worried about is when my, I get a call from someone saying, you know, they found your mother's body or you related to someone. So is this your mother? And, you know, I said, I know someday that's going to happen. I have no idea where she is. God knows what she's doing. But someday she will die. And I said, I'm really worried that I'm going to like melt down. And it's going to wreck my life. And this whole facade that I've built over the years of like normal person living, normal life will just implode. And she always said, no, that's not true. And she was right. Actually, when it actually happened in my aunt from the grass valley here, who's runs an organic mutton farm, well, I don't really know, but I think she grows a little weed too. Very nice. She calls me and she's like, your mother's dying of lung cancer in France. And I was like, my mother, you know, because my dad got remarried. And I think if my stepmother's my mother, I mean, I love her so much. So I know she goes, no, your mother, she named her, what the hell is she doing in France? She lives there. Why does she have lung cancer? Because she never stops smoking and they don't treat lung cancer in France. So she's dying. You need to go visit her. I was like, really? I don't even know her. What? And then she died, I think the next day. I was able to like, by the end of the week, I was like, yeah, you know, people die. It didn't really affect me actually. And I think the lesson is, if you live like a normal, if you just pretend to be a normal person long enough, if you pretend that you've conquered your problems over time and just sort of act like, you know, I grew up in a perfectly happy Mormon family in Idaho Falls. If you act like that for 30 years, it becomes true. Yes. Do you know what I mean? It's real. Like I actually, no, I'm healthier than I used to be because I pretended to be. I completely concur. I also share that value and we have a lot of conflicting messages in our society. You know, because I, you know, there's a lot of people who say, well, come on, that's your blood. Now that's your mom. Not come on. You'll never have another mom. There's a lot of isums that are about you only have one mom. So true. You she brought you into this world and it's a lot of that. And I have kind of the stuff that, how do you know that that's so funny? You said that. I don't for some reason because those people exactly. It's why I never talk about it with anyone because I run into those people. They're hooked on that. And I have the same kind of relationship with my mom too, which is, I remember one time she got upset at me because we didn't really have a relationship and my parents were estranged and I just grew up on my own and my mom wasn't involved with my life. And then she didn't move away, but she emotionally moved away. And one time I think when I was getting married, she found out about it like somewhere else. And and she said, how come you didn't tell me she was angry? And I said, mom, I got about a hundred people on a list to talk to about things in my life. And then I'll get to you. Like you're not on. You didn't make the cut. And the reason you didn't make that cut, because I threw you off the list is because you never entered the list. Right. You never signed up. You didn't sign up in this notion that, oh, yeah, but I'm your mom. But we never interacted. Well, what's the difference now? We're just down to pure biology. Exactly. At this point. And I don't, I'm with you like the biology is half of it. And you can do that in a fertility lab. And then the lion's share of it is the nurture and the proximity and the hands on in the day to day. And I feel like people fall way back on two things. Like, hey, come on, I'm your bio-lossed child, dad or your mom, like whatever. And then the other one they do is I'm not going to do anything for you. I'm not going to do homework. I'm not going to do laundry. I'm not going to drive you places. I'm not going to save for college. I'm not going to do any of those things. But there's great love. And there, thus I should be respected because there's love. Yeah. And my being like, well, look, I don't care for you. How much you love me if you're not going to do anything. Then you're not going to get that kind of reciprocation in that department. And I think in a bigger sort of gestalty overall way, I think that you and I have a very merit-based approach to life. Yes. And people don't like that. People like the warm and fuzzy. But you and I started off in a place where we got to age 18 and went, I don't even like my mom. Yeah. And the reason I don't like my mom is because she hasn't earned it. She doesn't like me. And right. Right. And people go, well, but she's your mom. And we're like, okay, but I'm merit-based. I got friends and friends parents and things who do do things for me. I eat at their house. They take me places. I hang out with them. I sleep over there. I have much more affection for them. And by the way, I feel like I owe them more. So you and I were brought up in this ant farm or this diorama of a semblance of a life. And we got it out of our head early and often, which is nobody is owed anything. But the people who do things are owed something. And those who just were born with titles are owed nothing, nothing. And then you go, then you take that and you extrapolate it to every facet of life. Exactly. And it's this. And then you get back to politics or race relations or whatever. It's like Jesse Jackson, you're black. Yes. You don't get to speak for black people. This because you're black. What the hell is that? I totally. I don't even draw a connection there. I don't either. I'd much rather hear someone who had better ideas who was any color. And you woman, you don't get to speak for women or you don't know women or we don't need the fire department to represent the neighborhood that it works on. Where I just need the best fireman. Of course. I want the best fireman. I want the best politician. That's never even been a question to me. And I will say if the effect of all that in my personal life is, I have the best friends of anybody I know. I have the most loyal, time tested, smartest friends who are the most trustworthy. Like literally, you know, I shot three people in a drug related murder spree and they're like, here's the fake passport. I'm chartering you a plane to believe. Like don't even ask questions. Like that kind of friendship because all I care about is what people do and like about the merit of it. Like, you know, they're my friends because they're great loyal true people. But I wonder if the genesis of that for you and for me is the a strangenment from your mother. Of course, the mother represents the, you can do no wrong. She'll always be your mom. That's just a thing. There's this in this sort of pine the sky mom. It's mom. So you and I had that crushed early and often. Yeah. And then we got insanely pragmatic and we went, well, if my buddy Chris Bomes mom is making pork chops, then she's doing much more for me than Chris Corolla's doing. So I'm going to go over there. And by the way, when it comes time to reward somebody, she should get the accolade. That's how I feel. That's exactly how I feel. And also, let, and I will say the upside, I mean, I try and think in my own life in terms of upsides because you know, you can't control it. So why would you marinate in the sadness? I try not. I really try not to. But one thing I learned is that, you know, luxury is not that interesting being babyed is bad. I don't like. Do you know what I mean? Yeah. Oh, my whole life, I've tried to think like, would I be okay if I had nothing? Like, I've actually gotten pretty rich just by accident, basically in my life, because I work in TV much richer than I make over 100 grand a year. I never thought I would and I do. But I always think at least once a week, I think, if I made 15 grand a year, would I be okay? And I always say, absolutely. You know why? Because I keep my desires and my needs really muted if I can. I don't want, and I think it's just because the way I grew up, like I, and I grew up in an affluent world for sure. I'm not saying I grew up poor, I did not. But I grew up in a world where nobody was like making my bed and telling me, you know, it's okay, boo boo. You're going to be, I mean, there was just none of that. There was no babying whatsoever because I didn't have a mom when I was little. I'm, I'm so interested in this. All right, let's take a quick break. We'll come back. We'll do a few more minutes with Tucker. He has to go to the West Side and do his show. But I am so enthralled with this because I have so many thoughts.

There was a list of protocols we created in which would let us know our plan needed to be set in motion. A few different chains of events would trigger them, like natural disasters or social unrest. The day's chain of events let us see the unthinkable was about to happen. The phone network going down, the internet network going offline, and the power grid being lost. The gates to our subdivision had been open when the power went out. And as we said goodbye to the nanny and our idyllic gated mountain community, I saw what I had feared was coming from the second the internet radio went out. Paratroopers falling from the sky over downtown Los Angeles. And the planes they were jumping from were not ours. Hear me read a chapter from Robert Patrick Lewis's The Pact.

So Tucker, the interesting thing I've sort of found is when I hear you speak, I've always felt this sort of simpatico feeling and obviously you're very pragmatic and I'm pragmatic. So obviously I like people that are pragmatic, but I'm now drilling down on sort of the genesis of what that that that relationship is I have when I watch you on TV, which is this absent mom thing. And there's and you go, well, so what? You had him absent mom and you had an absent mom, but it does, it's global. And yeah, the reason it's global is in something we're talking about right for the break. And it's almost like I can't speak fast enough because I have so many thoughts in my head. You know when your mom abandoned you early on in life, you will not be taken care of. You are in charge of you and you came from some money and that helps spackle over some of the stuff. Yeah. And I didn't come from any money, which is sort of lose, lose because we can throw a little money at these problems and get some of them to go away, but spiritually you realize you're alone. Like when the person who's most connected to you in life, your mom says, I'm out of here or I don't care about you. Well then why should anybody care about you? I mean, you're doing the math at eight and a half going, my mom doesn't care about me. Why should anybody care about me? I mean, they're not my mom and my mom doesn't care. So thus I should now go through life assuming that everything is up to me that I don't think people are evil and I don't think they have it out for me. I just realized they're not going to do anything. Anything we I get will be earned and I don't expect a thing out of anybody. Yeah. And I haven't been babyed. I mean, I haven't been told that I'm like a great soccer player when I'm not like nobody like my father who I think is the kindest warmest person I've ever met and really is and always has been my hero and always will be. But he was never one of those guys who was like, you're amazing. You're great. You're incredible. I mean, that was just not he didn't show New England. He didn't talk like that. You're amazing. Like when you climb Everest, it's amazing. It doesn't make you a mate. It was not a lot of sort of a hollow praise. It was like none of that and that's a huge advantage not to grow up around a hollow praise. Hollow praise is bad for you. It makes you insecure because you know it's not true. Right. You know what I mean? But there was no mom to be like, oh, you're so great. Not of that. No, but ultimately, I think it shapes you into a better citizen because you don't expect the government to do anything for you. If your expectation with the government is, please stop Korea from nook and Hawaii. Or my employer, by the way. Or my employer. I mean, you see in television, you've worked in this business a long time. You get these people who like, they want the money, okay? Great. But what they really want is they want to be petted by their bosses. They want the affirmation of the executive. They need it or they go crazy. Right. And I just don't feel that way. I like the people I work for. I don't need them to call me and tell me I'm great. Just fulfill the terms of the contract. Be nice when we talk and that's all I want. You know, I just don't need that kind of. Yeah, no, I get it all the time. But it's also an interesting two way street, which is sometimes my wife will say, yeah, but you know, those guys look up to you and a little praise will go a long way and I go, why do they look up to me? They go, because you own the building and I go, yeah, but who cares? And they go, oh no, no, it's important to them what you say or what you think of them and I go, why would that? They come in, they get paid. We have a safe environment. They can, they can eat for free sometimes and then we go home and they go, yeah, yeah, but you got to tell them X, Y and Z everyone's point that she says that do you pay attention to? I do. I realize and you may, you tell me if this is, I don't want to graph this onto you. But because of my upbringing, I'm like, look, you go to work, you get paid. Like I don't, then you go home like and you hang out with your friends. I don't, this notion of like you got to be buddies with your boss or you got to have a great environment or whatever that is. I don't know what that is. Just you go there, you get paid to go home. Like the same thing happened to me. It'd be nice if people were not like, you know, it'd be nice if people were fair minded and not verbally abusive and whatever, but I worked on construction sites my whole life. Everyone was abusive. For real. I didn't, I just looked at as a job. You know, I'm here to get paid. I'm here to, you know, tilt up that barn and then I'll just go home and hang out with people I want to hang out with. Yeah. But I think it's important for me and possibly for you because of this background, not to be on autopilot. Well I didn't learn this. I mean, I've always, I like people. So I've never had a problem, you know, getting all the people being warm with people. What I didn't understand is that people like to be complimented. I never, because I, when I never got any compliments, not, and I'm not whining about it, I got a lot of love, a huge amount of love for my dad, huge love. Every time I talk to my love, he was always very, but he's not a complimenter. And I was with James Carville, the demented, Cajun, who's actually very smart and a very, very close, long time friend of mine. And he once said to me, we were on a plane and he goes, you know, one thing you should know I was about 35, 32 and he goes, people like to be complimented. Right? And I said, really? Why? And he goes, they do. Every person wants to be complimented. And you should do that. It cost you nothing. And you shouldn't do it in a fake way. But if you think that someone's doing a good job, why wouldn't you say that? And they said, well, I don't know. I just wouldn't. He said, well, you should. And I have. And ever since then, if someone's doing a good job and I, and I remember to say it, I really try to remember, and I do this to my children too. Good job. Because why wouldn't you? Well, it's free. Yes. And, you know, you want to, as a guy owns a business, you have to spend money on coffee and heating an air and things of that nature. This one's free and probably gets even further down the road than coffee. But yet we do play close to the vest. And I'm the same way in that. I forgot. Like for instance, you know, people come in and they go, it's Gary's birthday. And I go, okay, there they go. It's his birthday. I go, okay, it's 36. I don't know. Work it out. Or get him an Amazon card or something like that. I know what? To me, birthdays don't even make sense. Just from like where where I come from. It's like, all right, you were born. And now here we are and go out with your wife tonight to the TGI Fridays and have a little man onion. And I'm glad you came in. But it's a weird. So I realize it like Easter and birthdays and greeting cards and even like anniversaries and things like that. They don't make sense to me. And yet they make sense to other people. And so when someone comes to me and goes, you know, we're coming up on our 2000th podcast. I go, okay, they go, well, that's a big deal. And I go, okay, it doesn't, it doesn't make that much sense to me. But if you're hanging around with a bunch of people where the birthday does make a lot of sense and the anniversary makes a lot of sense and all those events. That's right. That were somewhere between zero and one for us growing up are nine and tens for everyone else. Then then that's a culture and that's a language. And you should, you should learn it. Do you think at what point do you think of your relationship with your mom as like unfixable and never going to be better? And this is what it is. She's still alive and it's always been unfixable. And there really is no fixing if you think about the idea, like the concept, the jumping off point of a bad mom, which is I have a son that I'm going to ignore. That's sort of the mindset you're dealing with. And now we have to figure out how to fix that. But it's not really fixable because that mind is not fixable. I mean, that that mind can stay out of prison and can get along and can be cordial and have visits with grandkids and things of that nature. But you don't really turn that around. My wife is over the moon about her kids and my wife loves her son. He can do, he can do no wrong. And she's over the moon about it. And you couldn't. So if you just sort of, let's reverse engineer this question. I'm going to take Lynette Corolla and I'm going to try to figure out a way to get her to hate sunny Corolla. My son. And if the answer is that's impossible, well, then the reverse is impossible. Exactly. I have Chris Corolla. She's not much interested in Adam Corolla. But somewhere around her 87th birthday, she's going to have an awakening. And the answer is no, that's who she is. She comes from a long line of that. I'm sure. Oh, is that true? Oh, yeah. And the past is foster care. And she was removed from the house. It's all a mess. It's all a mess. But let me say this. I am a product of that environment. And I consciously put it in my mind. First off, I'm not going to screw up another batch of kids. That's how I feel. I will not do that. Yes. Secondly, I'm going to work on myself. I'm going to work on my career. I'm going to delay gratification. I'm not going to get married and have kids until I'm good and mentally ready for it. And I don't mean ready. I mean, I did therapy. I was the only guy on a construction site who was going to a therapist's office like that evening. You know, I made $9 an hour and went to a therapist, you know, did you give you a break? Now I even once, I even once said to her, her name is Rita. I said Rita. You know, for one of these sessions, one of these 50 minute sessions, it's literally eight hours of work for me on a construction site. I said, how about I come to your house and like put a deck on or something. Yeah. We like trade out. And she's like, that'd be inappropriate. I remember her saying like that, you don't want to cross that line. You don't want to come to my house. And in the therapeutic process, I, you know, I, because the next day, I was going to next thing, you know, you're sitting around drinking a fresco complaining about the old man or something and you've now torn down this. It's sort of like, I don't know, you can't go golfing with your football coach and then go back to the field the next day. No, no, no, you're around. That's true. That's true. No, I don't know if it's good or bad. I'm just saying in her world, you don't, you know, a Julia Roberts doesn't kiss her clients in pretty woman. Right. You know, just sleep with them, but no kissing. That's right. They're crossing the line. And so I figured out something was wrong with me. And so my plan was, don't have kids until you can be a reasonable parent and to your financially ready to do it. And then secondly, you just fake it. It's exactly what you said. I walk into my kids room and I go, this is an awesome day, right? Oh, man, this is exciting. I'm so, I'll say to my kids all the time, look, I have plenty of arguments with my wife. But when I talk to my son or my daughter, I go, who would you rather have for a mommy? You got the best mom in the world. How could you have a better mom? You couldn't have a better mom. You know how into you, she is, it's crazy. She's the best mom in the world. And then I go into my daughter's room and I say the same thing. I say to my kids, if I had a mother like you did, I'd be president of the United States by now. I mean, it's such a massive advantage. You have no idea what it's like to have a mother. And then I go, look at your 110 pound lab, Phil, it's the best dog in the world. This is the greatest day in the world. Like let's go out and ride bikes. Let's go to the sun and shine. Let's make some head like this is awesome. And look, half the time they go, hey, you're blocking the TV set, hit the brakes. But I literally just filled their head. I mean, I was talking to my son last night. I said, I think he has to come and buy the shop tomorrow. He's like, who? I said Tucker Carlson. He's like Tucker Carlson. What time? I said, he's coming by at like 1130. He said, damn. Then he said, Karim Abdulds your bar and Tucker Carlson. Wait, I missed them both. You had Karim Abdulds your bar here? Yeah, I was sitting right where you're sitting. We did a take a needs of motivational podcasts. I do. And my son is like NBA all star and Tucker Carlson. I'll miss them both. And I said, I'll tell Tucker you said, hi. I know. I we've met. Yeah, I know. I know. You met him. Tucker Carlson. Yeah. And it's fake. It's just fake. You're going on in your head, whatever scars you have, a scar tissue you have, or demons in your past. I mean, the mom literally moving out of the country day six as it is potentially psychologically devastating as you can, as as apparent interaction can be. And actually on a much greater scale than dying in a car accident. We all hear the story of, oh, my mom died in a car accident when I was six or died of, you know, breast cancer and everyone goes, oh, my heart pours out to you. Psychologically, I'm leaving and going to another country and I'll stay there and I'll be alive. I'll just have no contact with you is much more damaging potentially on a psychological level. Yet you chose to put your head down and move forward. And now you act as if. I mean, she was, you know, I'm leaving a lot out. I mean, she was really crazy. I mean, just put it that way. Like so crazy that my brother and I, in fact, we're, we never talk about it, but we were talking about it this weekend because of some unbelievable messiness that she left behind legally, which we're still dealing with seven years later. Like I said to my brother, really, only she would do this to you know, she didn't raise us. She was horrible. And then she dies and causes us all these problems. And it goes, it's just perfect. She's a bitch from the grave. But we always say to each other to this day how grateful we are that we didn't have to grow up with her. We're just so thankful. Yes. You know, so we look at it as like a real blessing in my dad and my stepmom, just like the best people ever. And so I just feel really blessed in that way. But I mean, she was like doing real drugs around us when we were little and getting us to do it. And just like being a nut case, like full blown nut case. And last question, which I think you've definitely managed to do, which is not internalizing. Yeah. Which is, I'm a big proponent of internalizing. Like you make it your problem and fix it and don't project, you know, which is sort of what we're talking about in the climate with race and politics and everything else. Like I'm a, I'm a gay man. So I have a target on my back. Like please stop thinking that way and internalize and fix whatever you're, you're broken in your life. But when a mother bandens a son, it's very easy for the son to think there's something wrong with me and there's something unlovable about me and thus she left. That's a lot of kids internalize that. And you and me to probably lesser degree went, no, that person's sick and broken and there's something wrong with them and it's unfortunate, but it's not a reflection on me being lovable. Yeah. I mean, that's a conclusion that I've come to. I mean, I, I turned 50 years old next month, in fact, a month from today. I have, you know, I've had the same wife for 28 years. I have four grown kids who I really get along with well. So like a lot, I've, I've become a lot healthier. You know, I don't drink. I don't smoke anymore. I don't do drugs. I can drink coffee. I'm like a full blown Mormon now. And so like I've definitely gotten better, but there were, you know, of course you, when you realize your own mother doesn't like you when she says that, it's like, oh gosh, you know, who poor me? Obviously I did something wrong. I felt all kinds of rage about it. I guess I had all kinds of problems as I just noted, you know, partying problems and stuff. But ultimately you, that's just self indulgent. You have to just go with what's real. If it's raining outside and you like sit and huff and puff about how it's actually, suddenly no, it's raining. It's like she did this. It's her problem, not mine. And you have to make yourself accept that. Otherwise you're just, it's like, masturbatory. It really is. You know, it's too indulgent. And it leaves you much less empathetic when you hear about the college students on ever green state who are crying out for. That's that stuff seems, but I feel sorry for them. I do too, because actually narcissism is agony. Thinking about yourself makes you unhappy. Like liberation and the Buddhists are totally, I know you're an atheist, but you should think about, well, Buddhism is atheist, I guess, whatever. But they're right. It doesn't matter. They're right. Getting outside yourself, stop, you know, dragging yourself out of Lake Me before you drown is the key act of saving yourself. And that's why they're so unhappy is because they're so nice. That's what I think, feminist are so unhappy. The most narcissistic group I've ever met are feminists, always about them. It's sad, they're in hell. I do feel bad for them.
