This Carolla Classics episode features comedian Ron Funches discussing his autistic son's therapy and diet, followed by actor Gary Sinise discussing his charitable foundation work, military service support, and upcoming book 'Grateful American.' The show includes games, news segments, and discussions on tipping culture, social responsibility, and American patriotism.
Insights
- Service-oriented work provides greater life purpose and fulfillment than material accumulation or happiness alone
- Parental involvement in child development through consistent therapy and dietary intervention shows measurable behavioral improvements
- Tipping culture in America has become disconnected from actual service value and creates perverse incentives for low-skill workers
- Celebrity platform responsibility: using fame to support underrepresented causes (military families, wounded veterans) creates meaningful social impact
- Self-criticism and constant focus on national flaws without acknowledging progress can lead to societal unhappiness and dysfunction
Trends
Ketogenic and specialized diets gaining acceptance as therapeutic interventions for autism spectrum disorders beyond traditional behavioral therapyIncreased charitable auction participation and premium pricing for celebrity-endorsed items when proceeds benefit military/veteran causesGrowing disconnect between restaurant service compensation models and actual labor value; tipping expectations outpacing wage structuresCelebrity-driven military support initiatives becoming primary funding source for veteran family services and mental health programsOnline petition/troll campaigns successfully influencing major entertainment decisions (Weezer Africa cover)Rural depopulation in developed countries (Italy, US) requiring creative incentives (dollar homes) to revitalize communitiesStreaming platform content moderation expanding from dangerous challenges to perceived-danger pranks and harmful contentGenerational regret patterns: travel, experiences, and relationships consistently rank higher than material possessions in end-of-life reflection

Ron was recently on the US version of the Traders and it looks like he's going to be highly featured in the upcoming reunion episode so it's perfect timing to re-air this one from the vault. Hope you guys enjoy. Thanks for telling a friend. Thanks for sharing as we inch toward our 10th year. I'll get you guys caught up on some interesting stats involving that our show versus Love Line and others. Good day Gina Gerad. Good day to you. Hey and bold Brian. I'm crazy but I'm not insane. The show this half brought to you by bluechew at bluechew.com enter Adam Loos at loes.com slash am and true car true car.com. So things state of the union stuff stuff to mop up from the vacation. I got notes all over the place. I have thoughts on things. Oh dear god. Yeah. Okay. Big thing for me. Now it's funny. So I used to go out with Danny two sheets. Uncle buzzaboo Danny Kelleis in who was reminding me many years ago how we met when he was with John Stewart at the Weenie Rose the K Rock Weenie Rose and must have been 97 and he was walking around with John Stewart and he ran into me and Jimmy who was Jimmy the sports guy and I was Mr. Bircham. I was Adam from Love Line at that point and we ran into Danny two sheets who was working for Letterman although he'd recently quit and come out here to do Rosie. So playing the background playing on the main stage on stage and the horrible thing about being a producer for Rosie is you have to fucking fire everyone every single day. Every single day super friendly cutie patootie chub club Rosie would have Danny fire somebody every single day. She's throwing cushballs in the audience. That's right. And then she'd go back and she'd go fire the right half of the staff. Like literally just had to fire. He hated his job because he had to fire people all day every day that she needed fired all day every day probably signed up for. Yeah. I know we have a big plan of getting all the ladies in the position of power. I don't know. Let's let's pump the brakes a little and think of that. The greatest plan if Rosie's the standard. Let's get some of them in a position of power. But I don't say all not have them all in a position of power. I do love this song. So he came out here it was funny. He came out here. Maxapadda you got to figure out who the original host of Vibe TV was like Quincy Jones presents you know Vibe TV is a comedian who you've never heard of before and you never heard of since but he was going to be hosting his own syndicated late night show back when it was like oh someone's got to replace our senior and they had a magic Johnson show and Alan thick thick of the night. Yes. And all that stuff. Say Jack. You're right. Right. Everyone just got a shot at a late night show. I Keenan. Oh God Keenan not to keep you. I didn't weigh in the way in. There's a way in. I did them all. I know because I did them all. Me and Drew did the mugs did them all. I did their shows. I did their test shows like hey we're going to do a test show again in there and he went from I think Rosie to Vibe but he went from Letterman came out here to do Rosie and then ended up being doing Vibe Chris Spencer. That's right. Oh Chris. Yeah. I know he's just sort of we need a black comedian to do Vibe and I remember doing a test show and I sort of said to Daniel like I don't know this guy's got it like he was just really weak like there's a there's a there's a thing kind of like a football coach where you go well that guy doesn't have the technique but he's a specimen and I think with the right coaching and some some snaps he gets some snaps he'll be coached up or then you see a guy who fires out hits the blocking sled and falls back on his ass and you go I don't know how much coaching we're going to be able to do with that guy. Right. Chris Spencer who I'd be curious I think history was probably right. Well there's still time. Yeah I don't I don't say the guy flamed out it was a failure. I'm just saying like I didn't see the next Jimmy Kimmel Jimmy Fallon Arsene Hall like I wasn't feeling it during the test shows. I was like this guy does not seem sharp does not seem on his game. And I've not heard the name. It is one of these he was a prominent enough stand up comedian to get the nod for when Quincy Jones and God knows who and Fox got together and go we need a show called Vibes the new late night. You know we're going to launch this thing big. You can't just be a nobody. You have to be somebody but I just wasn't feeling it. He was quickly replaced by Sinbad and then Drew and I did Sinbad and that's where Sinbad's famous line which I didn't stop and correct him on the air for. He's Sinbad is sitting there and he's like oh you and Dr. Drew man you're so different so different. You're like heckling Jekyll and I thought the two identical magpies you mean he wasn't telling the sense heckling Jekyll and he I think he meant Dr. Jekyll Mr. Hyde but in a heckling Jekyll seem to be too cockney. There were like Waldorf and Stadler. There are a couple of crows and they were most dumped with like a cockney accent I think and they seem to be pretty identical but I didn't stop and correct him and I don't think many of the Vibes audience members were going to throw a chair at him or yell anything but I do kind of remember they're physically heckling Jekyll are physically identical. They're physically I should emphasize the word physically. Aesthetically there is no difference. The person who animated heckling Jekyll if I cut the paper in half and put and mix them up and said I shall pay you one million dollars if you can identify which one is heckling which one is Jekyll. And they often moved in unisynic. There was no telling them apart. That was part of the gag I thought. Did one have like a cockney accent and the other one was from Brooklyn. Now we're going to investigate. I feel like we'd remember that. I just remember that's all I remember about the show vibe was I did the rehearsal and I remember thinking I don't think this kid Chris Spencer's got it. I didn't want to say anything. I remember told tell Daniel I think like I don't know if he's up to this. Did Daniel fight you on it. At that it would they were Jekyll voiced by Bobcat. Now yeah. There was much older than now. It's from the 40s or 50s. I like when Chris goes. Yeah. Oh wait. It usually takes a full four seconds for you to be wrong. This is a new year. New me. Don't get me wrong. I like the way you've streamlined your being wrong. Yeah. I like when you go from I like your selfish you're yes. My bad. If you ever question me I'm just going to say I'm wrong right away. It's faster because eventually we'll get to you being wrong. My way we don't take a windy mountain road. We just take the flight of an arrow much more direct to you being wrong. All right. So originally originally did heckle and Jekyll have different sounding voices. I know one was sort of cockney sounding or maybe one was like Brooklyn sounding but either way. There were loony tunes right. They were like not not sure. Yes. They're old. Chris Spencer what became of Chris Spencer. He probably has stand updates somewhere. Yeah. I mean he has Twitter says he's a comedian not a comic and then he just writes for various movies. He was in Don't Be A Menace. Last year. Okay. Yeah. So he's acting. Yeah. Small parts. But not not like what we're talking about. So yeah. Then we ran into Danny two sheets and we ran into him with John Stewart and Jimmy and I were friendly with John Stewart and Daniel had been a fan of my work on Love Line. I think MTV and so when we spotted those two walking around we stopped and talked to them and at some point Jimmy found out that he'd worked on Letterman for a decade and Jimmy worshiped Letterman. So anyone who worked at Letterman was okay by Jimmy and especially when Jimmy had little to no standards back then because he wasn't doing much. Maybe he was doing Winbenstein's Money and the plan was we needed to do a show called The Man Show and once we'd found out that Danny two sheets had relocated from New York and was out here working on Vibe. I think the plan was well let's sit down and have some lunch and we'll tell you all about this concept called The Man Show and then his thing was is that's great but I'm kind of tied up doing Vibe and we thought well that's not going to go on forever. It was done in a few months or he was fired in a few months or maybe he was fired from Rosie in a few months. However it went he got freed up and then we launched in earnest in The Man Show. Now Danny two sheets of course famously he's called that because he stayed when he was come back from New York he stayed at my house for a few months and he wanted to know where the upper sheet was which I had not heard of. So it's just one of those bad familial things. The fact that it is kind of a there are those little markers that you can kind of tell you're from the wrong side of the tracks like when he was telling me where's the upper sheet I was confused like you have a sheet you have a sheet it's on the mattress right now and he's like where's the other sheet I'm like there what do you mean you put two fitted sheets on the mattress. There is no other sheet there's you're lucky to have the one sheet you know and he's like well what do I do for the upper sheet. I'm like upper sheet use a blanket you have a blanket what do you mean another sheet like and I thought he was insane and I was 32 that's the sad that's the sad part of my life and my first question is well why wouldn't you know when you buy a sheet set oh you never bought a sheet set. So yeah we had a big sign in my house it said no sheet Sherlock and it just meant you got the one fitted one and you're lucky with that. Heckel and Jekyll one did speak with the Cockney British accent and the other did speak with the Brooklyn accent. So they they looked physically the same but maybe Sinbad had taken a deep dive in Heckel and Jekyll in terms of couldn't be more different than they walked in unison they they did everything in unison I still don't think it was a great metaphor or example so if only we could hear yeah it's impossible. They don't talk that much Brian so we're trying to find a place. All right so Bobcat did did the voice for when when they came back with a late night show Heckel and Jekyll they Bobcat was one of the voices that's why I said that. Yeah they didn't have a late night show right. Yeah it's called curbside it was it was a short very short live it was just but it wasn't a Heckel and Jekyll late night show. No it was they were the hosts. Heckel and Jekyll. Yeah. What year 99 I think. Wow well in the and it is previously discussed the everyone got a late night show and they're doing everything but it can't be what you're thinking had to be some sort of right. I looked at the most recent I was gonna say could it possibly be like some something that it's a Warner Brothers property I assume because it's you know Bugs Bunny that world I assume the WB maybe at some point was like we gotta get something on the air this something the kids will be into it's around the time family guy right 99 you know what I mean yeah I'm anyway all right we've already spent too much time on this late night okay so he's late night so Danny Tushy it's his entire MO is be a big tipper you gotta tip you gotta be a big tipper be a big tipper and he's right to a certain extent in that when you go to the resort you go down to the pool and you go hey can we get a lounge chair and an umbrella and the guy goes oh yeah I'll set you up you give the guy 20 bucks on the first day and now he's working for you for the rest of the five days that you're there you know a lot of potential tables or chairs as it were right and and I get the part where you walk in in in this arena you're at a you're at a resort you're gonna be there for three five eight days you give the valet 20 bucks right up front and now that guy's kind of working for you for the rest for the rest of the week you're there and same with the pool guy or the bartender or what have you we have heckling jekyll talking everybody shut up hey look oh that's boggling I say oh boy how about lift that's real nice of you jump thanks yeah all right even those accents don't sound that no but I different I was right not to you but sit down he has a very fine ear all right so Danny two sheets is always going nuts with the tipping and and I agree with him with the tipping but his thing is like when you go to the restaurant and you tip them 30% or whatever it is so we went the first night and we went to a nice place and to my chagrin we're with kids I think Lynette but two of the boys Sal's boy and my boy Sonny and a group of nine two of the boys ordered surf and turf which had like market price next to it and I mean this is a place where an entree was 42 bucks but then surf and turf it just said market price the nps for mercy please yes mercy please have I never heard now to be fair the two little kids did not know oh that's what we're talking about to be fair the two little kids just saw the letters next to it and thought it might be cheaper than things on the on on the they didn't know right so I had two kids I'm I'm picking up the bill on this night I got two kids ordering surf and turf one of them's mine the other's Sal's Sal's cousin cousin Sal's son and then the wife so at least two out of three are Corolla we did have this move that bothers the fucking shit out of me and you guys tell me Lynette Lynette goes to restaurants and sort of gets confused like she's like oh what's on the what's this menu and then she'll go uh oh to drink uh I don't know uh pineapple rum or whatever drink and she'll go the guy go okay and then the guy'll bring up to her and she'll take a sip she'll go oh I don't like this and I'll be like all right but to figure out what your drink is in order order your drink but that she'll go I don't like this can I swap it out for margarita and the guy'll go okay but sometimes they forget to take it off yeah they just do a full fucking $15 charge and Danny two sheets is sitting next to Lynette and the reason she orders the pineapple and rum is because that's what Danny orders and it seems like she goes oh I'll try I'll try one of those so he's demolishing his she takes one draw and goes uh by the way I wish I had that gear to take a sip off anything and reject it not for me if it's got alcohol in it I'm fine if it's as smoothie it's fine if it's as malt I'm fine but anyway my feeling is being spoiled finish drink the feeling is you ordered it drink it and order a martini next time up but anyway she takes a hit and she goes oh I don't like this now I would have been happy for her to just slide it to her right and give it to a dip put this one on deck but the guy took it and swapped it out later on when I was looking at the bill and I saw two two drinks instead of whatever I realize oh no he never did take my $15 drink off of the thing I don't even know you know in a way it's not even his fault that's whoever ordered its fault unless you screwed the drink up but it's it's kind of a courtesy especially when you're going to spend 700 bucks on a meal anyway the check came to 701 and I was like all right I'm giving this guy 20 straight across big restaurant nice place food was good service was good in the resort outside of the resort restaurant outside the resort establishing question with a group of nine did they not already factor in the tip did not okay and it could have been nine it could have been 10 whatever whatever it was it was a group more than like five or six they didn't which I appreciate I don't like the part where they do that I feel like you get the bill you look at the bill you do the math on the bill if it's two people and you ring up $700 you do the math and if it's 13 people and you ring up $700 you do the math or how about you base it on this the service it was excellent service you're getting a big tip if you if you're lacking then you know what I would argue that like room service where they go gratuity included that is nothing but a tax or surcharge that has nothing to do it go look up that has as much to do with the fucking definition of gratuity there's there's a whole bunch of stuff that's getting fucked up in our world here there is gratuity included not that's just that's just the fucking I did just make your cheeseburger 30 bucks instead of 23 bucks it's it's it's literally adding it on it's built in hold on to your rack there it's right up there with I donated my eggs for $8,000 you donated your eggs and access to women's contraception not denied access just buy it on your own we're taking the fucking language and we're fucking it all up none of this means any of it anymore it is denied not denying access it's not you did you did not donate and this is not a gratuity you fucking tacked it on can we get back to whatever the language is or just call it something else so they did not tack on the gratuity which they do do frequently and people should be making a bigger shit about it some of you are saying all of this at the rest of the restaurant screaming at the way I was Mike oh he's on line six so is uh Mike from Greensboro yep hey what's going on you want to hear the story about cousin sound the tipping yeah it was a great magnet moment here because I um that'll then ask the question you're already talking about it did Sal tell this story Mike somewhere have you heard this a version of this yeah yeah he was on the bill Simmons they were do their guess the lines thing I was listening to that and and Sal was making fun of Adam so I was curious about Adam's side of the story have you did you know that Adam I had heard tale Mike what in about 10 seconds what did what was Sal's version of it I made a big deal about the surf and turf who authorized the surf and turf down at the other end of the table and he uh yeah was making a big deal about the Danny two sheets had to make him give the 20 percent there was an insistence there oh are these are these really how these stories go that Danny insisted on 20 percent well this is a distilled version of a story no but this is a lie there's a lying version of this story Danny I told you call liars liars okay I'm with you that's you get eight pedocchio if if if if Danny if the story is all right the story is the kids are ordered surf and turf I was well aware of that because I was sitting at the table and my son was sitting three people away from me and there's always a little thing when you go out with your kids like hey what Natalia what are you getting Sonny what are you getting there's a thought of what are you getting number one the next one is is like hey maybe I'll get in on some of that like I'll take a bite of some of that or whatever so I did sit there while Archie that's cousin Sal's son and Lynette by the way and Sonny ordered surf and turf I sat there I watch him do it I'm I was aware of it that's fine of course being a corolla and coming from where I'm coming from the idea that the two kids under 13 or 13 and 12 were eating $75. Rageous meals is absolutely it's it's unheard of the only time they see lobsters have been lost at sea that's right I agree and insane if you think about our childhoods I mean we want this once a year you go to Sizzler and be like hey listen you cannot get the langostino you can't get the Malibu chicken you just get the burnt charred single four ounce or the burger you can't even within Sizzler there was stuff on the menu that you couldn't get on the menu yeah the surf and turf was $11 but you can't do it so I took note of it of course and used it to sort of I put a burr in my own saddle but when it came to the tip I don't know I don't know if you have cousin Sal we're cutting it right now oh yeah what are we talking about this before yeah but you didn't sound interested when I when I brought it up to you so I didn't cut it Adam never sounds interested don't you know what I mean I should have it or get it or something you didn't you just like ah and then you see and then you moved on so that's why I didn't cut it I wouldn't cut it unless unless you showed yeah why put effort into anything unless I demand that you put effort into something that's not true I offered it and did what how many times do you get the Adam did the uh that yeah yeah okay next what's next because I'm on the fucking I'm on the fly all the time setting yeah all right I thought you had it that's why I went like yeah okay I don't know why haven't it we're having in 30 seconds okay so the story you can tell your version first the story is your version I said all right it's 700 the bill was 701 dollar and I said good 20 percent I'll give him 840 and Danny to she said oh come on man give him 200 bucks or whatever and I said well first off I'm giving 20 percent then Danny said no you're giving 19 percent because it was 701 which is a stupid argument because 701 doesn't get it down to 19 it it's one dollar but it's not a percentage point nine one percent right no it's not even probably higher than that it's effectively 20 percent of some sense right so it's 20 percent but he did the 701 and somehow the one man why did I put up another 20 bucks so I said no I'm doing 20 percent the second thing I said was you're not supposed to tip on tax so it's really it's really 20 percent of 650 or whatever you know the 10 percent tax over there in Hawaii and I don't know what the tax is but you know it's probably high it's probably 10 percent so the bill that's 701 dollars is really 644 and so you should be doing 20 percent on 644 but I always just do this the round the finished number so at 701 I round down to 700 dollars because I'm Ebenezer Scrooge and I go I'll give him a buck 40 on this and Daniel starts going ah come on come on just give him 200 bucks just give him 200 bucks and I think is a couple things first off we've been here a grand total of 70 minutes like this guy doesn't need to get Mark Garagas hourly billable numbers number two this is not the only table this individual has serviced in the hour and 10 minutes we've been here he's working on four or five other tables I imagine he's getting a tip from them he doesn't need to average 200 an hour he can average 80 bucks an hour and be just fine and fourthly fifthly and sixthly listen to me waiters waiters who are not students struggling trying to get their way through high school whatever it is 42 year old waiter guy you have tapped out of life you have decided to not possess a skill you've decided not to get any real training you don't read architectural plans you're not a certified CPA you cannot you're not a holistic healer you're not a massage therapist you don't have your fucking license to drive an 18 wheeler you have fucking nothing you've tapped out you've tapped out people do this thing I'll tell you oh these guys are hard working they're noble no they're not they're the biggest fucking losers you ever went to high school with and they fucking tapped out fine four men's on construction sites fucking f 350 dualies with lumber racks have tools read architectural plans get permits build whole construction sites those guys get 30 bucks an hour or 28 bucks an hour or 40 bucks an hour they don't average what you average why is it so important to me that 43 year old loser guy who's fucking tapped out of life needs to make triple an hour what journeyman carpenter or certain what okay fuck it nurse what the fucking registered nurses make per hour 200 right give or take oh 10% of that yeah registered nurse I don't know maybe they make 47 bucks an hour I don't school teachers fuck all you guys I'll pick one of your stupid pussy professions that you think are so noble all right school teachers a school teacher that's bringing home 55k a year what's that person average 23 bucks an hour 26 bucks an hour why does loser guy who has no training except for to bring dishes back and forth or something you could get a fucking monkey coach up to do in four working days if they just shadowed one of these guys why does that guy need to average 120 an hour fuck it I'm not on board with that that guy's tapped out and we're not helping him we're not helping him he's going to die there because he can't say no to that kind of cash on a night where you go that's when you see that bartender guy or that guy the 40 something-year-old waiter guess why because if he gets a real job if he gets his license to practice whatever or he ends up being a journeyman electrician or whatever he's like a pay cut yeah okay so he has no it's probably harder too it's basically it's a subsidized living it's not real the restaurant should fucking pay him I paid 700 bucks for dinner this whole notion of like yeah but how's he get paid I don't know how does Home Depot work with their employees you go buy a fucking some piping and some air conditioning receiver dryer and then they pay him out of whatever you pay them I this the whole thing is fucked up the the thing right room service should just be the guy brings the fucking food to my room and I tip him or I don't that's he gets paid by the hotel right everything should just work that way the fucking it should be on them it's on the hotel it's on the resort this this thing of like oh who's going to pay the valet I don't know the fucking room with $2,000 a night perhaps you scrape out a little bit of that yeah and give it to the fucking guy in the front of the vest on when you go when you go to the most expensive sushi place in the world and then you go in there and you fucking rack up a bill for 1300 bucks because you got the William Morris charge card and then you walk out front the guy's like seven dollars and I go oh I don't have cash I mean they go oh yeah and I go down the street I just spent 1300 bucks in there yeah we don't work for them like oh I don't know you stand in front of their establishment there's there's a an umbrella with the logo of the restaurant on it yeah standing underneath yeah our ends get 33 bucks an hour max pad I just called anyone in his family and they're like group tax he called his cousin he's like hold on I'm putting my velcro velcro strap down on my base shoes hold on I can't hear okay now what was it you get 33 bucks an hour okay and servings weird too because like you can order a bottle of wine that costs 50 bucks or a bottle of wine that costs 10 dollars and you have to tip based off of that price the same amount of effort in pouring that like it's all it's it's weird how the whole tipping thing well also look no fucking further than the motherfucking waffle house I ate ate out at outside of uh road Atlanta in Georgia you go to you go to you go to the waffle house at uh road Atlanta I have three miles away from road Atlanta Georgia before we went to the track it's fucking haggard put upon 52 year old twice divorced mother three like just fucking working her ass off like literally a busing like like stuff sliding across here we go here because she's running that thing like 12 foot lights on a train with a fucking point guard when me and uh the three guys that get done eating the waffles and the eggs with when that thing gets tallied up that entire bill is 31 dollars and someone's like all right leave her five bucks and just walk away okay she gets five bucks she busted her ass twice as hard as the dude in Maui she gets left with five dollars now I don't like that my feeling is $700 surf and turf table I'll give you a 20 but I'm not going I'm not rounding up and going up to 900 bucks for you woman who's busting her ass over here at the waffle house outside of Atlanta you I'll leave 20 bucks for and I'll leave I'll leave you 60 percent because you a you need it and be you're busting your ass and see I don't want to do a math let's see what's 15 percent of 30 dollars all right here's four dollars and 50 cents like no she's killing herself and at these nice restaurants waiters don't bring the food they come out they chit chat and then they drop the bill later so uh not only did we have the I said no he get up he get up he'll get 140 dollars that'll that'll be enough and again he's working other tables simultaneously and again we weren't there for 90 minutes we're there for an hour fine and also later on the fucker charged me full price for the drink he'll get us down to flesh yes so uh I was not arguing about giving 20 percent I always give 20 percent I basically do 20 whatever the number is I just go two times if it's 600 bucks I go all right buck 20 two times six is 12 boom that's that's how I do it you are going about not giving 35 percent 38 percent Daniel's like just give 200 bucks or or make it 900 or whatever it was and I go no pal tip him 20 percent sorry the version do you ever do you ever worry about because you're a well-known celebrity no no first off why do I care what losers think of it well because I and then what do you do take to twitter and when I work for a whole hour and they only got a dollar but 140 dollars from Adam I don't give a shit listen believe me I'm jealous you work in Maui you're 42 years old you have a fucking GED and you get paid like an attorney good for you good for you but I don't need I don't need to add to your lifestyle I'll pay the buck 40 is already insane because again what's the difference in the weight of the plate of going to Olive Garden and ordering a big thing a pasta for 12 dollars and the fucking three surfers for 80 bucks a pop what's what's the difference why are you profiting off that you didn't cook it you didn't provide the materials it's like the bottle of wine it's random you say 50 bucks could be 500 bucks for a bottle of wine why is it you just pull the cork and pour it anyway so I did the math the bill would have been about 675 before tax tax only 4% in Hawaii oh really believe it or not wow but still you would have tipped with 140 over 20 percent right comfortably over 20 so uh Mike sorry yeah no problem yeah so he was saying I was arguing about pretty consistent I was arguing about the 20 percent which I think is where the comedy I think that's where the comedy comes in but then it kind of makes me into an asshole because I had never ever I here's what I would say you guys can uh go ahead I defy anyone you can go ahead and find every single fucking time I've ever eaten out and go find me if I ever went lower than 20 percent and that will that shall be your answer it's all on paper it's all an amix card somewhere earlier this year Christy and I went out to dinner got a little enjoyed it but without the kid got a little drunk uh under tipped the waitress didn't realize until we got home the next day and went through my pockets went back to the restaurant and gave her cash hero yeah just because it's shameful to leave you a tiny step yeah it's it says more about you than it says about her exactly and listen I'll go back there yeah let's all be straight let's not get a twisted oh if in my world and again I come from a world where I got 15 bucks an hour to read plans and build people's houses and pull permits and had a truck full of tools in my and I didn't get to bang cocktail waitresses or live in Hawaii or you live in Hawaii or get drunk and hang out afterward with the bartender in my world if this guy gets $50 for what he did for us that's completely fine it'd be grossly under tipped from the 20 percent giving him $50 for bringing us plates and talking to us and asking whatever that's fine $100 that's more than generous in my world now in my world I don't want to fucking 20 percent because again what's the difference you get a $250 bottle of wine what am I tipping on that for or the three guys order servant term what am I doing in my world this guy gets 50 bucks maybe 75 bucks for what he did and the beleaguered chick at the waffle house in outside of Atlanta she gets 20 bucks on her $30 effort that's that's my world but anyway what do I know all right we have the clip sorry who made the right call this week or not I'm gonna say our friend Adam Carolla made the right okay I'm here with the Adams family and uh and our friend Daniel his family three families so we all eat together we do everything together and we're you know we're rotating bills so it was Adams turned to pay and um he made the right call and not going too crazy when our two oldest sons ordered surf and turf all the way on the other the end of the table he just blurted out three who authorized this is and uh he moved on from that and then um he tipped 20 percent on the dinner bill what even though he was he was screaming our friend Daniel forced him to do it he grabbed the pen he signed it he's like you're tipping 20 percent Adam has this whole theory about uh we're enablers by uh by tipping you know why should why should waiters make $140 an hour uh and lawyers and why are we putting them up there with doctors we're we're enabling them we're rewarding them for not having skills what have they done they only worked there for an hour but uh Daniel talks him sense into me he's like this guy has one car you have 30 so Adam uh signed he gave a 20 20% tip and you know even though they charged his wife for three Mai ties even though he had two he did not make them take it off the bill although he did bring it to their attention so good job by you Adam Carola thank you cousin's out get Danny two sheets on the phone get them on the phone now we're gonna find out exactly how this played out in real life my gun hold sorry Mike call Daniel it's probably him well you can find Daniel Emily post question for you guys I know you and Danny two sheets go back a long time and so this probably doesn't apply but in general how do you feel about telling the person who's paying what they should tip oh that's gauche yeah that's also Danny it's lovable when Danny is yeah that's his persona yeah that's it's he's half he's sort of he's sort of doing whatever I'm sure Snoop Dogg is not as snoopy and doggy when he's just walking around at home in a bathrobe you know what I mean but he's got to call everyone cuz and wants to know what the uh yeah and sticky icky sticky icky in the uh caesarean and all the uh all the stuff what's the diesel what's the diesel there's a lot of the glasses go on and the joint comes out like I figure like there's a lower key 53 year old version of Snoop Dogg that's puttin around his house somewhere now but I think Danny two sheets I think he brings it I think he brings it a little bit yeah all right well see if we can get Daniel on the phone because tipgate Brian love that this is how this is how all this stuff gets started which is it's just a little twist on the story that makes me seem douchey which is Daniel and I were arguing over the tip but the twist was 200 bucks versus 20 percent which is what I want to give now if I'm arguing against 20 percent it makes me miserly he's trying to force you up to 20 percent that's what his version is right and also since when do I listen to people if it's my money and I'm writing the check like I go if I go 10% and not if penny more than that's when I'm writing in like you're gonna stop the one you listen to people yes all right we'll see uh what'd you say we'll see was he talking I'm nearly I thought we had thought that was part of your new year's reserves ironically for my blind stuff talking all right uh I'll tell you we'll see we can get Daniel on the phone and first I'll tell you about bluetue.com if you like oh you like sex good

get my phone you'll probably be able to yeah we're send them a text back all right let's see oh god all right so quickly uh state of the union i always get uh so screwed up with this um couple things now max padda what did we screw up on these uh numbers on this uh number of acs episodes versus love line episodes that look so dramatically different than what we talked about yesterday well as when yesterday happened uh we we asked superfan geo for the numbers and uh his archives include all the best of all the repeated episodes that we did and he didn't really have an exact count of the episodes that you missed and you were there so since we since we moved the state of union today i hit him up again and said let's get a more accurate count and lose the best of and just have every episode the adam stone on acs and love line well here's what i'm curious about uh we're coming up on our 10 year reunion of this show anniversary sorry anniversary 10 year anniversary and people must say that all the time our 10 year anniversary february 23rd although i thought it was is it 23rd yeah february 23rd um i said well jeez that'll be 10 years i did a love line for 10 years plus 10 years plus i don't know a few months or something like that i could figure it out somebody could figure it out so i said the other day how many love line episodes have i've done and the answer is uh 2415 jesus and i said well how many acs ones have i done now we're you know we're two months off or a month and a half off so i figured well it's going to be less talking podcast now or talking radio and podcast because the radio show was known as acs oh thank you i just meant the podcast figure um with the 10 year anniversary coming up and now it says 2456 which seems weird because why is it more when it's a lesser amount of time now love line you could go we took a few off here and a few off there but i don't didn't take many off of love line we got but you had over 150 best of episodes and that's what he included in the initial count 150 best of episodes on uh love line radio show mm-hmm still seems like we've got three uh oh i guess that's it all right so we've done more of uh this podcast wow then i did in a 10 year love line career yeah still going to check that math one more time how many years i do love line 10 years plus something that's a geo one so we'll be we'll be uh planning a big party in a big event do you remember when you took over because i know when you left it was the end of 2005 um when i took over love lines yeah i was told i was told because uh geo sent a thing that said i celebrated my 31st birthday on the air and i thought no i don't think i did my 32nd birthday maybe and then he sent me a thing that said uh uh october i believe maybe october 1st uh 19 96 five you joined uh drew and rackman in october 95 and then uh you left to december so there you go uh because the radio started to set so yeah so in a few months so 10 years in a few months still feel like i should have a higher love line count but anyway i do remember i haven't thought about this in a million years but the very first when it came to love line the thing about love line was i was fine with the comedy and i was fine with the crack and wise i was fine with all that but i had no interviewing chops and people don't really realize how that works and how that works it's just pure repetition just pure repetition now it's easy to sit across from david alan greer and do an interview he just point at him any any goes or dana ghoul there anybody like that but love line would have bands like chumba wumba and not only were they total assholes and total british anarchists but they were like jet lag possibly drunk and kind of pissed off didn't want to be there and they're fucking and wherever they're from it's like 3 a.m. and now we're here and or it's it's seven in the morning the label took him out that night yeah they took him out and had a few glass of red wine pushed him and told them they had to do it they didn't want to do it and they would be fucking horrible they would be horrible and then there was all sort of punk rock aspect of it which is i gotta be a badass all the time and the very first so ricky rachman because of his headbangers ball and this mtv and he had his bona fides with all the bands he sort of sat he sort of handled the interviews and then i would pop off and make jokes and my biggest fear was doing the interview of the band and the so when it came to hosting my first show if anyone had a fucking ounce of brains or that show was produced properly whatever we probably would have had no guests like the first show just phone calls and he's an older straight plod your strikes or we would have had like dana ghoul comes in and you know comedian friend you know i was as friends with a lot of comedians or joel mcale if he even existed back then or jimmy kimmel you know whatever it is adam drew this is blur yes we literally had psychomico from like social disorder whatever was my head i what no it was psychomico from one of those punk rock bands and i was like i really had a gift for gab so when did the band start and she's like whatever never really started never end yeah that would have to be too much talking for him and i was like what's your favorite song and you go what's yours and i'd like lean back again you know and i'd like it was the worst interview ever it was the most painful thing ever and here's how bad it was and you guys psychomico from suicidal tendencies was my first guest he was a dick who was covered with neck tattoos and he didn't want to fucking talk okay that was my first guess like if you could like what would be the worst thing that could ever happen to you in terms of interviewing and the answer would be psychomico from suicidal tendencies at least it never aired i wanted to fucking kill myself 10 minutes into this interview and i was like oh god this is going horribly and i knew the program director and everyone would be listening and i i was sitting there and i was like god this is going bad and i am not a i am not a conspiracy theorist i'm not at all you know i've never floated a conspiracy i i do know what works and like what doesn't work but i don't have no conspiracy yeah by the end of this interview i was completely convinced that on his way out ricky rachman like called his friend psychomico from suicidal tendencies and went hey man you're going into my night i'm not going to be there so don't play ball don't play ball like fucking but go you know have a nice initiate this guy into this fraternity and have a good time because ricky left he didn't you know he didn't he didn't have a screaming match when he got pushed out the door but he got pushed out by me he was no fan of mine coming in and taking his job essentially and he probably had relationships with these fans it would have been pretty easy for him just to go hey man i'm not going to be there so have fun with the new hose because this guy was a dick he was the worst and i remember thinking god damn this is my first guess again it could have been any actress from 90210 any one of the many people we'd interviewed on loveline mtv or or or inter interview in any other place i knew from kevin and bean or and or again she could have been jimmy kimmel but now psychomico well he's here right now come on in psychomico all right uh max paddock are we able to get hold of uh dany two sheets has not texted back yet hmm send him a text game a call called him twice from your phone to tweet him text at him let's see send him a play him low right now send him an email i want to get to the bottom of this yeah we will all right i'll tell you about that let's see ron funches is uh here i think we should play the ron tomato game with him oh that is fun sweet i think that should be our plan first let me tell you about craftsmen loze new home of craftsmen including the v20

guys are like me but um you know the stories to get kind of rounded over into making you oh hundred cheaper insane and sort of reminded me of many years ago god uh joel i think his name is a writer for the new york times or whatever you know he went and told the story about the dixie chicks and natalie main and how i was convinced that she was in love with me and stalking me and sending me flowers and underpants and it's such a funny story about how gullible i was that i believed in this story but he left out the part where she asked me to take her to the grammy that really happened i i i am like you in this respect the the worst big enough line one of the worst uh perpetrators of this for me is anderson he'll constantly tell stories about me and i don't mind people i don't mind people tell stories about me i don't mind people talking shit about me what i don't like is when it's it's it's it's skewed in a way that's not true you know what i mean like that it paints a false picture or there's leaving some detail out or at least someone down the wrong path that i hate anderson was on his podcast talking to uh someone who didn't know me and describing me and she's like oh is he a climber it's like total climber but i'm not i'm a lot of things i'm a lot of things i will list them for you i'm not a climber i would be farther much farther along in my career if i was a climber no he literally requested a basket so that he could lay in it while we're doing the podcast yeah well that and i completely agree a climber there's a million horrible things maybe two million horrible things about brine we can't count that hot it would take a weeks of episodes but just because somebody said climber you don't have to go yeah you go no no no no yeah sit down for fort night i'll tell you about other things that are wrong with brine but like i mean never go climber is there ever yeah climber's sort of a compliment it means you got a little chitzpa yeah but it's not true no as as stated in yesterday's show with your new year's resolution your new year's resolution without using the word climber is to kind of say i'd like to get my ladder out yeah i'd like to work harder and get a little farther yeah but climber is is it is it sort of like you're using people yeah you're a user yeah a user basically you're you're watching other people for what they can do it kind of depends who it really it kind of depends who says it how they're saying it because it everybody who made their way up a corporate ladder was was a climber didn't mean you had to put your foot on someone else's head yeah and i know when they i know when the snarky chick goes is he a climber then then that's what that is but i looked at myself i looked at jimmy kimmel we were at krock we're low on the totem pole and i was like let's get on up but uh so that's a little that's not but that's not you yeah thank you when you said that that first thing that came into my mind is i hate you know people tag you on stuff that's you know mean or whatever don't tag me i'm living i i got a life i don't have time for this and somebody tagged me going jina didn't do that and of course i had to read the response which was i've said this on a million interviews that the way i got in at klsx was my dad was working at uh knx sister station and got me an interview with ronnie scarsaga and my big glamorous job that they hired me for was to answer the phones for nelson salsa the public access radio hour in the middle of the night on the weekends that was my big glamorous four-year radio what was told was jina's little jina's daddy got someone fired so she could get a job in radio i like nelson salsa sidekick jimmy cherry that gets a sweet kid and it's a climber that's a climber he's on the move yeah so stopping him but oh the nepotism jimmy cherry the nepotism is so strong in the grad family he got me an interview and i ended up getting a job to answer phones in the middle of the night i was grateful to have it poor jimmy cherry i can just so you can hear the calls it is uh in luck jina's daddy got her first job like what we all everyone is guilty every comedian everyone tells the story is guilty of a little hyperbole but just don't make it false no this time for comedic effect that's one thing don't make it false all right uh so ron funches is here we'll play ron tomatoes with him in person uh no luck with dany two sheets he's playing low he doesn't want any part of them email sent text sent he's tucked in the bed he'll be uh he'll be glad all right so he has a number

all that right after this if i was out on a date with a lady and we're all cuddled up together which sometimes happens and then the rock saw us and he was like oh you guys make a cute couple but not anymore because i want to i'll be like well sir i'm a check with her first oh but on this end there are no issues i mean if the rock was hitting on me if his muscular finger went against the nape of my neck oh i mean i like to think i'm straight but in these days and you know who really knows maybe i am a rock bottom i don't know ron funches on the adam corolla show good to see you again my friend good to see you i i love that that's like i think you guys just stumble into a thing i need to do now is just put all my comedy under a jazzy beat i know makes everything better yeah giggle it's giggle fit right yeah giggle fit which is available right now on comedy central and uh you can check it out online at cc.com and on demand as well filmed at the neptune theater in seattle that we played at a couple of few times beautiful neptune theater how do you figure out where to go i'm always curious with comedians how do you end up where you end up because we can all shoot a special wherever and uh pete holmes ended up at the same theater that i played in portland and we probably picked it for the same reason no one lives in portland or seattle you go there but where do you live and how did you end up there i end up there because i started comedy in the northwest i started in portland and um so that was one of the my choices but i didn't want to do like a hometown show or a show where people who knew all my material already but i wanted to pick a place close enough that if they wanted to travel to it they could get there um and seattle is one of the first places that always um showed me love and started selling out shows before like any other place and and it was just also a beautiful theater so i performed there before and i knew i knew the area and then weeds legal and it seemed like it would just be a great time for me it's weird or sad or ironic or something that i basically hail from the san fernando valley north hollywood which is gotta be first off it's in los angeles it's it's four miles three miles from hollywood california has a population of what is bigger than you know probably chicago proper or something and no comedy scene whatsoever like literally there are more uh custom door and sash stores like window blind and sash and custom door places in the san fernando valley then comedy stores or comedy comedy venues there are more tile showrooms there are 1000 percent more tile and auto body places then then places to do comedy like it literally doesn't just so it's just weird thing which you're in los angeles you're right next to hollywood you're in a place called north hollywood you're interested in comedy and there's zero scene in the entire valley sad right it's pretty sad but it makes a lot of sense because you you have the hollywood scene you have the improv you have the comedy store you have all the the shows downtown and a little offshoots um it seems like you know the valley and stuff is a place where families go to kind of get away from stuff like that i just want to reasons i live in the valley now so that i can go in to hollywood and do stuff and then come back and walk around my neighborhood i'll do that with my wife every once in a while i'll go i've had my fill of comedy but i'm missing mexicans let's go down to sherman way and nord often hang out for a while exactly that'll be awesome get a solid i'd like to eat papaya prepared from a guy in the street with no gloves i'd like to find a guy the machete middle-aged guy who's making papaya for me and the kids we'll go down there but i don't want to hear any fucking comedy that's for god damn sure i'd like to smell a fresh sanded bondo on a car fender that's what i'm looking for and i don't know if you're being sarcastic no it's a the valley's turned into a big shit pit that that's all i grew up there now it's a pile of shit that's fine if you stay the thing here's here's what it is ventura boulevard i'm thinking of it now it's like it's like the river that goes through that the serengeti like there's a life there you can possibly there stay close to the river follow the river follow the river if you get too far out away from the river you'll just either die of exposure or be stabbed by guatemala which whatever your metaphor however the metaphor works but stay next to that river it's a river's life the river life ventura boulevard is the river of life the further you get away from that fucking river the tougher it is to hang on you want to stay by the galeria stay by the galeria anything with the galeria riverbide you need to get as close to any place with a cheesecake factory yeah or a dave and or buster's dave and or buster not betty hannah what's the other one pf chang you got pf you gotta find and you gotta be next you know what that's what they should do fuck the school system you know everyone's everyone does the sexual predator when they're looking to move they go how many sexual predators how many schools are closest pf chang's closest arc light theater yes yeah nestled in between a pf chang's are like first off who cares of a stranger melissa your kid once in a while when you have that kind of access lettuce wraps lettuce wraps and reclining seats i'm in walking distance the boat are you made it oh man you're good i'm gonna explain the river of life to my kids when i get home were you in studio city sherman oaks yes yeah good stay next to the river don't get too far from the river river's life now you have a you're talking about especially have an autistic son yeah i do my son is 15 he's he has autism his name's malcom he's diagnosed when he was two and he's been going through programs and therapy since then he's he's killing it right now what are the programs and the therapy and pardon me for asking like how autistic because we're in a weird world where everything's spectrum e now and everyone thinks i have asperger's yeah everyone does when anyone says yes and doctors asperger's they go oh you got asperger's like when you today when you came in today and you walk right by me and then you think and you go oh did i walk by you and i was like no i don't take any offense my my son has autism i'm used to their use to me you know my answer on your type well my answer is to everyone who claims i have asperger's i go open your mouth and i go open your mouth and they go why and i go so i can fucking spit in it and they go what i go so you can get a little bit of this so you can get something done i'll spit in your mouth then you can get a lot of asperger's and then you can fucking go do something too instead of watching me do shit how about that open your mouth everything you're saying is being like i'm more and more pretty sure diagnosis is down the quickly let's have unprotected sex quickly don't vaccinate yourself but my son is classic autism he when he was diagnosed he was moderate to severe he's been in um behavioral therapies and as far as like as well as just like physical touch therapies where he has to he doesn't like certain textures and they would make him put his hands and like play dough or certain things like sensory yes sensory therapy and then just massages like chai gong and things like that and and now now mostly he just has a speech therapist that he sees every every week and how's the massage therapy part go it goes um it's just because a lot of it when you're especially in the beginning of it you're looking for a lot of answers you'll try just about anything and a lot of people who have children autism believe there's a lot a lot they have a lot toxins in their system and and if you looked at my son's bowel movements when he was younger i you would be like you agree there there was they did not smell like a normal humans and um so the chai gong thing was part about they would massage his digestive tract in a certain way to try to help release some of those toxins do you pay for that or does insurance pay for that and luckily we were living in Oregon at a time and they have very good help as far as social programs for people with autism so a note to uh math assistant moved to Oregon put in for asperger's insurance rub down twice a week paid for by the state yes yeah so what about other what about these i'm thinking about me moving the point i'm asperger's it's all about me hey what about other therapies like i mean to like i i love all the walking and the nature and diet like what about diet and things of that nature yeah i mean that's kind of what we're working on now his before his diet was just very restrictive um and in the beginning it was mostly about just trying to get him to eat food instead of like a mouse pad or uh just plastic and so it became a battle like what will you eat and then he was just hamburgers and pizza and that lasts for a while and he was still underweight and then he became overweight because he was just eating hamburgers and pizza and pancakes and now we're like hey try these protein pancakes or try try this lean burger that i'm making for you and just trying to keep his again his toxins under control and his diet better do they have do the doctors have thoughts about we're very much into that around here i mean not as it pertains to autism but just in general like this sort of chemistry of life dr drew is we are we have conversations with it all the time and how how much of it affects so many other facets of your life i think it was gonna screw this up but um i think it was jim abrams i was talking to about this i thought it was david zucker but abrams and oh yeah airplane whatever he's talking about his son had severe seizures and tons of yeah and he kept researching and researching finally found some old paper that basically just talked about the chiegenic diet and getting rid of the sugars and the grains and getting the proteins and the fats in there and essentially cured his kid of having these these seizures just simply simply changing the diet nobody he went to the mayo clinic and they were like yeah we got nothing for you but he researched it and found this this out so i'm curious if science or if the doctors have sort of caught up now and i'm getting into that aspect of more and more research on that that's actually something i'm starting with my son is putting him on a ketogenic diet and yeah i mean because you're just willing to really do anything to see see effects and i've never i'm not looking to cure autism but i'm looking to see him just get progressed and get get better and i the more his diet changes in the way we get him away from processed foods and more into just regular just the the high proteins and the fats it seems to be helping him and helping him be to speak more and get his his words out clearer well feels better yeah we all feel better we're not eating yeah and his eyes aren't as dark and and things he's just yeah he's he's shining i'm really happy you know i was talking to somebody having a tweet with somebody last night about like straws and plastic straws and they're shown me we're talking about the forementioned seattle and how the place just looks like a fucking diaper now like la does it's a garbage everywhere and then it's weird that you get you're getting preached at about using plastic straws and then you're tripping over piles of garbage when you're heading out your house and so i was just like look um you don't need the the tweet up there max pad but i basically said here's my thing i'm into solar i'm in the led light bulbs i'm into recycling i'm into all of it just because i i don't i i'm removing the cause from it and just putting it into a just do it i think it's actually it's actually a better way of going through life meaning and i'll i'll circle back which is if somebody says do this because i want you to do it or do it because i'll give you ten dollars every time you do it or do it because i'll dock you ten dollars if you don't do it it just becomes this thought process versus just doing it just shut the lights off when you leave the room and you go okay but not if you're in a hotel right it's like yes at a hotel but why it's not you just do it because that's just your mode just just do it it couldn't hurt and the diet is the same way just do do the good diet oh well why is it going to cure autism i know i don't know couldn't hurt absolutely no different than recycling or solar panels are flicking the light off like i don't know you're gonna it's not going to make or break you financially it's going to save the environment like i don't know no i don't know it's not going to hurt the environment it's going to hurt the environment by keeping on if you have a processed burger it's probably going to hurt you versus help you what's the difference don't know why not just do it though no i completely agree with you i i i just like that mindset instead of being like it's just that why not mindset like why not try i know it's it's a it's a weird gear that so many people are in which is like and you have to i guess we all have to think about this but this sort of here here's something that anderson could call you brian here we are this is weird like i must offer some alternative like you go what's wrong with just doing that i go well sometimes people forget and you go i know but how about you just getting the thing well sometimes people are distracted when they yeah understood what's wrong with them they go bup bup i was standing in the omelet line here's a first world problem at the resort what's wrong with the keys getting the omelet and sorry about a frittata they'd have two guys behind there on occasion and one guy behind there on occasion and the line would stack up be 12 people and this poor guy's an octopus he's juggling he's starting this pan he's starting that pan and i just like said to the woman next to me i was like you know when i get the two guys it goes twice as fast and she's like yeah but they don't work that well together and i said yeah but i was here yesterday and they threw the two guys in during high traffic season and they got those pans moving and she's like yeah but buh buh buh and i went like yeah but the two guys would get to move maybe it's not twice as fast but it's certainly 30 40 percent yeah but they didn't seem to be working and i thought i'm really what are we talking about really gonna take a stand on this just go for starwood there's the answer yeah it'd be nice or with the amount we're paying and tell me about it these rates be great to have a third guy there but it was why why are we where are we getting into this why are we dancing on this subject yeah this is something you've chosen to fight over or you know what i mean offer an alternative then you kind of realize i think it's a little more of a way of life than a strictly omelet oriented discussion we're having like people love the play devil's advocate it's just the thing they love anything i'm wide open to any subject except when it comes out of this then i gotta stand my ground egg based debate all right danie is he on the line oh

certainly by those 21 years of age and older all right danie two sheets uncle buzzaboo danie kelson is on the line daniel yes sir uh thanks for getting back to us in a timely fashion this was not planned or or not no we we i i i i don't like i i have this new policy which is you know when you're like i was doing a conference call today and i was like punching in the code numbers for my conference call at 1015 in the morning and max a pat a called right before i hit the last digit on my conference call number and i was like i had to start again and my first impulse is i'm going to fucking strangle that guy and my next impulse was how the hell does he know what i'm what i'm doing and so when we call a busy mover and shaker like daniel kelson in the middle of the morning in the middle of the day you can't expect him to dive on the phone he's a busy man so oh yeah no i was in the middle of a yoga class how you pussy what the fuck why don't you have the fucking phone with you can't you do down dial i was trying it really was a fucking yoga class work you puss all right so um we all know that uh the lovable cousin sal gave his uh stirring rendition of uh the tipping situation with the surf and turf in uh mawai when we went out to the restaurant yeah i am not one of these people who likes to lead my witness so i will just ask you your version do you regret lying about this story no no i'll ask you since cousin sal told the story on your behalf and on my behalf but neither one of us was on his podcast what happened with the 701 dollar check that we got in mawai um in terms of tipping uh i think we over tipped right or i over tipped that's what i paid for right no daniel the surf and turf 701 dollar tip with the kids ordering the surf and turf and you arguing with me violently about tipping more yeah yeah the other other check was also 700 dollars sadly that's true sad that was uh we we tipped uh i don't know 150 dollars two and dollars what do we tip we tip 20 percent okay you did what you do which is you grab the check and said leave a big fat tip yeah yes yes i believe in that yes yes i said i'll give what percentage uh 20 percent right that's right so you give 20 percent and then you left 19 percent yeah now listen i'm not a college boy like you i'm just a poor guy who tried to steer near stay near the river ventur boulevard in north hollywood but uh 701 dollars and me giving them 140 worth of tip is still 20 percent ostensibly that's just one dollar right right 20 on one dollar is just 20 cents all right yeah okay so it was 701 dollars and you wanted to give them what leave 900 or something like that i thought i thought it was great service and i thought we should give 200 dollars of the holidays people are working and uh you know i'm a socialist at heart i really believe you know not to sound right about it and you know however one says uh nothing worse when somebody says they're blessed but uh we're lucky and and we have the ability to uh um you know leave a nice impact on so many people's lives who are you know working class all right and uh that's what i'm about yeah okay well you and uh acasio cortez have a good time in hell i'll be working well you're at the fucking yoga class i have to learn how to suck your own dick i'll be paying fucking taxes thank you here oh listen how awful you are now but listen listen just for clarity just for clarity just for clarity the tip was a hundred dollar sorry sorry the bill was 700 bucks for sake of argument and you said give them 900 and i said give them 20 percent i'll give them 20 percent yes yeah okay sals recollection was that you had to argue with me to do 20 percent i i don't i don't think that's right i think uh you were just you're you're bristling the idea of paying more than 20 percent mixed in mixed in there was the whole uh uh my tie sent back debate i don't know you got into that at all i i did i was not happy i was not happy about that either but i did not deduct that i let it slide no but you did argue about it with the waiter afterwards right i went i well first off this is a this is a this is a domestic issue my wife orders drinks takes sips off them and goes what is this and it's like it's what you ordered that that's don't be surprised so it comes in it oh what is it it's ox blood and gefilter fish why why you didn't have that in a hollowed out uh boot i thought you'd enjoy that like no it's a fucking my tie you ordered a my tie this is called a my tie please don't send it back it's got booze in it by the way so philosophically you shouldn't be able to anyway that was a little more with her but i was curious that they charge that they just charge full freight and you were drinking the same drink so i just want them to slide it over to you next time well i thought well you you ended up drinking my drink that's just a drink drunk lunettes oh we could have worked it out i had a draw off it once she sent it back that's all all right danny two sheets get get back to the downtown well i want to say hello to everybody there and and thanks for having me here and and anytime we want to make tips um we have a long history of this i feel like and uh and also greetings greetings to ron punches you know we were going to do a tv show together called the bong show yeah yeah oh man yeah i remember that great i have totally forgot i would just listen to you talk about man i like this guy all right i like one too i think you're a talented guy and and listen i love to everybody there now it doesn't hurt you to over tip and you always say like i don't want to be rich i don't hit the hardware store guy you should hit the hardware store guys you know i've done a good job for you all right let me ask hold back let me ask you this how many sets of omelets and or eggs did you have the beleaguered guy who was working the omelet bar at the resort make you and your family in the five days we're there probably five days i'm gonna say 15 did you tip that man well we tipped at the hotel did you tip the guy who was making your family on physically did you tip all right i probably should have done that go get in the down dog sit in the fucking corner and think about it think about tipping that guy hardest working guy but was the omelet bar guy we're there every single morning for five days he made his wife omelet it was like over easy over medium not too much my son likes a little blah blah blah times 15 not a nickel directly to him okay maybe you're not as into tipping as you thought you were that's all i'm saying don't huge argument over giving the guy 140 dollars versus 200 bucks nothing for the guy working his ass off making the out here i got that fishbowl sitting right there with the money in here i go with the devil's advocate they tip out there so if you tip one person you tip them off yeah he that's what he said okay he just said i tipped or whatever but i still say you let's go in that guy's pocket if you're as much into tipping as you say you're into tipping and nobody's fucking working harder at that hotel than the guy who's literally working five pans simultaneously and he's hitting all three your family members times five days slip that guy 20 on the last day if you're into it okay i'm not no here's the difference that's consistent i don't fucking claim to be a tipping hero i'm like yeah i paid enough at the hotel let them tip that guy out that's me but i don't fucking talk about how great i am in the tipping department thank you well i'm not a tipping hero so just to be straight 20% was not argued over he wanted to go higher than 20 i said no we'll do 20 there was no danny talking me into 20 he was trying to talk me into 35 percent i said 20's good thus false story yeah but i think you're really discounting the holiday spirit the holiday spirit is this guy's getting paid like a fucking thoracic surgeon for bringing me food that is his whole life is the fucking holiday spirit he lives in he's getting $150 for an hours worth of work and that's just our table now he may have to spread that around but why does he need to be nurses get paid 33 bucks an hour why is that guy need to average 80 bucks and i have more expenses during the holidays the expense is the $700 meal that he then gets 40 the presents for the kids the the credit cards everything you're doing yeah that's okay a little bit more during the holiday he is getting a little bit more because that's his fucking life like he's already getting 140 bucks for an hour's work that's my that's my thing yeah but you know he's working hard you get more than that and you work harder the omelet guy or him um probably the omelet the omelet guy gets burned so the omelet guy omelet guy is working three to eight times as hard as this guy i like how you put math in it i'm giving you a big i'm giving you a big window but the omelet guy works ten times harder than this guy how come he doesn't get a tip what's he get an hour why should the omelet guy make one third of what this guy makes your point is you don't want to tip anybody though i tip everyone 20 percent i tip them 20 percent the whole thing is like what about more what about more i tip $140 on a $700 meal and you're not supposed to do taxes so it's a generous 20 more than 20% or 24% it's not a bad tip it's not a bad tip that's what i'm saying like my whole thing is like this but i would but if i if i recognize you i go oh i'm good i'm serving at a grill and i would be like he's okay guy fine go make your fucking life right don't worry about adam corolla coming to your restaurant once a lifetime to try to make things fit in your life that's my thing you fucked up your own life i'm not going to make it right i'll make it even i'll give you i'll give you a scale but i'm not going to make it right okay that we that we can agree on okay and also i'll give you a little incentive to work on your fucking life you won't get rich bringing me shit how about that there you i'm telling you the reason these guys are in their 40s and doing what they're doing is because they're overcompensated but i like that like when you go to europe and you see like waiters and stuff and they're super old and they're just and they're they are paid well and the service just shows i think one of the reasons why customer service is so fucking shitty in america is that we have just underpaid kids there who are who are exactly like i need to get my life together i hate it here so they don't they don't care if your drinks messed up or or what your order is right you know when you get really good customer service in this country you you remember it because it's rare you know that was one of my jobs my first one of my first jobs i worked as a cashier and i just good at talking to people so i would have lines down the store five six people deep and there'd be an open register and they just were like no i'd rather talk to this guy which sucked for me because it made me work harder yeah what was the job just you know bagging groceries putting things across scanning things chatting with people that's it i'm gonna love the notion that daniel daniel's the socialist and he's fucking in san amonica right now taking a hot yoga class and i'm in glendale doing a third fucking podcast today and he's like hey buddy let's spread it around like yeah all right spread it around you don't get it how about this i'll do a fucking yoga class you're coming here into this fucking cold man you're talking to this little microphone fuck that fuck all that all this fucking he works hard she works hard fuck that i work fucking hard my whole fucking life we all work hard of bullshit this is the you don't think i work harder than you i don't even give us i don't give a shit i listen here's one thing i do know i worked harder than anybody you fucking know ever from age 19 to age 30 there's nobody you know who worked harder than me because i literally dug ditches i dug ditches for 55 hours to 60 hours a week and that's all i did so if you can find somebody worked harder than me out of high school into their 20s i challenge you to do that i did it for years well that sounds just like a lack of intelligence then hard work no i mean yes he was working hard and not smart no first off the fucking white privilege i didn't even know it kicked in until i was in my mid 20s i fucking worked harder than anyone i know it has nothing to do with working hard it's working smart having a goal versus working dumb oh i'm all about goals notion of like this guy works hard he needs to get paid no no roofers work hard they get paid much less than marqueregas gets paid he sits in air conditioning he takes private jets but he figured it out this notion of like i'm burning calories and i'm miserable and i'm sweating and it's dusty yeah traditionally whether you're building the railroad or in a coal mine you work or building ships it you don't get paid for working hard or working sweaty or working dusty you get paid for working smart that's one of the things i had to figure out in comedy that i didn't have to i used to have to prove myself i'd be like i have to go do four or five six sets and struggle to prove myself and it's just like that is just working hard not smart or i could just pick better shows sometimes me doing less shows is better because then i'm scarce so then when people will actually pay tickets to come see me and and that's a big lesson i learned and to stop sometimes working as hard as i was and just be a little bit smarter about it and rest sometimes this is a very good point which is even within a profession so you go well nothing's harder and dig in ditches and there wasn't anything harder than digging ditches and then you get in a comedy and go well shit free beer and air conditioning and stand there talking but when i went out earlier on we do three shows a night at cobs and then three shows a night at the place outside of outside of seattle and then three shows another night and it was like in kerkel in washington and it's like jesus christ it's a lot of work and then the next time we'll come back and play the more theater the neptune theater and say i'll do one theater show so like even within jobs as much easier doing stand-up than it is digging ditches or bagging groceries or whatever you're doing still within that job there's a version where you don't do three shows a night you do one show a night a theater maybe you get an opening act and you only do 55 minutes instead of 95 minutes or whatever that is but everyone should constantly be trying to sort of streamline that process i agree to that point the working spot are not harder and all that stuff if you're what would you say the percentage of the population of america is of unskilled labor what percentage of a population are unskilled laborers just throw out a number 20 percent okay if you're if you're part of that 20 percent you can bag groceries or you can dig dishes or you can wait tables in hawaii you know what i mean like that that is that is probably the one of the ultimate examples of working smarter and not harder the are you can stream video games yeah i'm getting pain i i literally was talking to dany two sheets when we're because you go around hawaii see all these guys are driving they're the uber drivers are happy as shit you know they can surf all day and you know put in a few hours at night making up well they live in mawai you know or the sky or the guy who works at the hotel at the resort or whatever and i was just like if i was ever and i've always said it this way i said look five is ever gonna drop out i just get a job at the starbucks in santa barbara and just work at the start why work at the one in england would why not go to the one in santa barbara and just live by the ocean it'd be it'd be easy bartending in college town right and uh i always felt the same way tell me what you guys think of this i grew up my first apartment in in uh north hollywood off of laurel canyon by sort of between magnolia and riverside but like not too far away from the river of ventura boulevard and you know it was like 500 bucks a month and i couldn't afford it and i ended up with two roommates in a one bedroom but my thing is like people go like well why don't you just move out to pocoyma and get a three bedroom for like the same price it's like i'd rather sleep on a futon with another dude in a nice part of town than every time i pass really shitty apartment buildings and i know some of it has to do with like first and last or you know background checks and stuff like that credit checks it up but i'm always like why not live in a slightly better neighborhood in a smaller place than live in a shitty neighborhood right that was always my take even when i had no money right i've always believed in that just from being in my small town and i was a teenager as in salem origan which is like a little shitty small town in or again and you get these people my age when we're working at like bank call centers making just 20 bucks an hour and they're like buying houses and at 20 when i was like 22 23 years old and i was like why would you want to do that i don't want to stay here i don't want to be here i'd rather go i'd rather keep my money and go get a tiny place in LA than be like the king of shit mountain like i don't like you even if you have a big house here and different folks you know different dreams but it was just not a good area and i didn't understand the point of being of balling in a shitty area as opposed to swimming with big fishes that was always one of the funniest conversations i had with my landlord which is i did have three guys in a one bedroom and after about two years it got a little old have three dudes and one bedroom and i wanted to get they're both my friends and i wanted to get rid of one of them but he was my friend and i wanted to tell him like hey you got to move out so i called the landlord and i went hey man we got three dudes living in this one bedroom apartment and he goes you're not supposed to have three people living and i go exactly exactly what do you do i need a letter from you saying that it's come to your attention that three people are living here and one people has to leave before the end of the month and he's like you're not supposed to have three people i said i'm with you we're on the same day with me i need you to send me a letter that says as much he's like why do you have that's against the least i'm like yeah yeah yeah you're on a roll now you're getting in keep going i could evict you yeah yeah good good stop that in so then i had to open the letter that came like four days ago what is what we're here here's something unusual but uh trend i like to start why doesn't everyone gather around while i open the mail i have a lot of reading campaign the penny saver look at that all right what's next that i hope it's important oh my goodness someone has to leave oh my oh Jesus christ well i can't go home and we got the one guy to move out let's get and we never told them except for now maybe we did all right uh we got the rotten tomatoes game uh we'll take the break we'll do the rotten tomatoes game first i'll tell you about tommy john time of year to uh drop all those bad habits and uh pick up some tommy john's everyone uh start the 2019 off right with tommy john most comfortable men's and women's underwear on the planet keeps you uh neat and nestled and in one place soft contour pouch comfortable state put waste bands soft moisture wicking fabrics time saving quick draw fly perfect solution for guys who are constantly adjusting down there the best never go back that's it uh there are other companies out there making things that are close but nothing as good as tommy john when i travel always pack them

john dot com tommy john dot com oh he's so good at that he's good all right let's take a break we'll come back and we'll play some rotten tomatoes with ron funches it's time to check adam's voicemail adam if you keep telling people in california that you just moved to texas i'm gonna hike higher mark garagas and screw your ass stop it you guys are ruining our state stay in your state so look homeless people and typists and and crap all over the street we don't want it here stop you can come you know brine you guys can come too everyone else stop it you can leave us a message at 888-634-1744 i get it it's like what ways did to nice neighborhood yeah shortcuts california is going to do that to texas like all the ass wipes are going to just move out just because they're going right through your neighborhood by the way he said homeless and typists i thought he said homeless and typists i do what i heard that's what i heard typists like that's what i was thinking why do we need to get rid of the stenographers they're the heroes steno pool yes and so i did a thing that everyone needs to do with their brain which is homeless and typist homeless and typist why would he say typist why would include those is that even a job and then who has to move out because they're typist took me three seconds i got time let me hear it again dawson let's see if you hear typist but you can't say typist i heard typists as well and then corrected to typists okay so you're not alone run uh the rotten tomatoes game this half the show brought to you by med men and tommy john and hunt a killer and simply safe as well the rotten tomatoes game is us guessing the rotten tomatoes score on any given movie okay the notion is get as close as you can this is just the regular critics not the top critics not the audience it's just not user reviews so what the critics gave on any movie and if you get it the percentage exactly on you get a five dot five point deduction because we're looking to get the lowest score like golf we can get five dollar i'll give you five dollars as well okay what's 20 percent of five dollars i don't know i'll figure that out all right that's a dollar here we go the rotten tomatoes game is presented by true car listen to that noise that's a high four say no voice they can only mean one thing and you can't feed it there's some names of plates and the game makes their pitch guessing if it's rotten or fresh if it gets to the exact plate we'll get a bonus five it's the rotten tomatoes game you know how we do it oh that could be a real song so it's 2019 we're firmly in the month of january in honor of this wonderful month where movies go to die we thought we'd theme this round off some memorable january releases beginning with a film like the fresh prince in reverse our protagonist ash tray is forced to move back to the hood where he reconnects with this nuclear michael jackson's kid ash okay this nuclear armed cousin loke dog starring marlon shaw and keenan ivory waves and wanes yep and the host of the original the original host of vibe chris spencer wow wow it's 1996's don't be a menace to south central while drinking your juice in the hood all right oh so is it is it 90 or 99 oh it's gotta be over a hundred okay all right the critics didn't that's a great like it but there's some good laughs in here how much for one rib it's important my hand it can't be you know it's not 10 it's gotta be higher rotten by the way 60 percent is what gets you to fresh in this in in the rotten tomatoes i think they got there that's neither here nor there for the game all right so what did the critics say funny performances some funny lines but they couldn't have loved it over all so write down your score okay i'm locked in everyone locked in brian what do you got uh it's not a great movie some good laughs but the critics did not have been kind of this i said 40 wow ron what do you got um i feel like i love this movie it's one of the movies that really helped shape my childhood and my ostensit humor i love the wanes and i learned so much of it so i assume that everybody else hated it and i gave it a 25 wow ron and i are simpatico i was thinking the same thing there's no way even if they liked it they would have admitted to liking it i said 28 uh i went higher just based on there being laughs in here so i went 49 first off how much for rib was from 1998 i'm gonna get you so i know i messed that up shoot and don't be a minister south central while drinking your juice in the hood is rotten at 31 percent no okay all right everyone's in the still in the hunt all right when we saw that another m night shalom movie was slated for january we knew there would be no twist ending it was just going to be shit little did we know this film would revive his career not kill it 2017's split saw it one of the most profitable films in film history a 2000 profit huh yeah well it was a low budget it cost like five million dollars and made well over a hundred million dollars i can see that who stars in this james mackerville he's very good they're making a sequel to this it's coming out soon all right so this got the release in january because m night was not riding the crest of life but apparently people thought it was good i never saw it brian saw it but we can't trust what he says i don't know i'll see it i saw it but i can't trust what jenna grant said what did you think of it well i i didn't know the other movies you know that sort of tie some of this stuff together so i was a little underwhelmed but i thought the performance was amazing does that make sense brian corny maxapada 280 million on a nine million dollar yeah that sounds about right jesus christ okay all right so massive massive hit i don't well so we in the 80s we're in the 70s don't listen to him it doesn't always mean good yeah i know i i have zero idea i've never seen it doesn't seem to show up on cable that often it's only a two years old from two years 2017 wow all right no idea where to go here so i'm gonna write down everyone locked in i'm going i'm now i'm writing down 78 yeah you're gonna be close this is a good movie 83 i also thought this was a good movie um i said 79 i never even heard of it so i put 80 oh wow split is certified fresh but 76 oh the audience has it at 79 yeah all right clint eastwood is a fan of releasing movies early in the year american sniper came out in january as did this film well they'll be fair to clint he thinks he's going to be dead by christmas so i think he that's more of a personal thing than it is a monetary thing like i'm not going to see thanksgiving this year am i as well as this film about a racist grandpa hero 2009's grand terino this is one of my favorite movies i hate this movie so much you are so wrong it's funny because i've never seen it i've seen bits and pieces of it it it didn't grab me but everybody's like oh you got to see this but i think they just think that because i'm a racist you love putting this movie yeah it's like you love snuff born right i'm like no you got to see this um you really don't like this movie i'm shocked what what didn't you like about it it's very melodramatic it's it's wildly unbelievable not in the way that like a transforming robot is unbelievable it's you don't think he could befriend someone from a different community did not like it well i gotta say people really like yo yes oh yes yes yes yes not you i am in the minority on this one and proud of it speaking of minority let's talk about the themes going on here is this you know i mean he's kind of a racist guy he's set in his ways set in his ways but his character seeks or redemption but he gets redeemed so we like that i'm trying to look for the touchy feely critical part of it very very touch we call it melodramatic all right so the critics they don't like clint but they will like this was all 2009 yeah they liked him man yeah okay this is on the heels a million dollar baby i think okay yeah i think or before no no definitely after okay then on the heels all right um locked it in everyone locked in yeah brine what do you got 71 i'll be thrilled if it's lower so we're definitely voting with our hearts on this one i said 90 i had it fresh at 89 i again had did not see it i am aware of this movie and i remember how many people were pushing it so i said 90 grantorino certified fresh at 80 percent wow wow people had it 90 well we're all kind of knotted up here everybody you know it's another terrible movie the mule thank you oh yeah i don't want to see that brutal yeah why is it well i know why is it bad but it's like i didn't i i didn't have any desire to see it uh good good you didn't like it okay okay this heartwarming january comedy features philip seymour hoffman bawling out a blind ferret risk assessment and ass wiping with family heirlooms starring ben stiller and jennifer aniston it's 2004s along came paulie this movie is so fucking on the nose like he's a risk assessment manager for a big insurance company and then the next thing you know she's like i'm going rollerblading not without a helmet not without a helmet because i'm 100 what i do all the time because i can have no dimensions to me at all but you're gonna teach me how to live yeah really live it was just like if anyone ever saw that script i'd be like what why what like what are we what are we doing it'd be like me saying hey i want to open a pizza place medium crust pizza fair to middle and topics and you just go why why we already had good stuff it's my passion like this movie had to be definitely ben stiller jennifer aniston like signed like somebody just went we'll make this you can get these two people we've heard of our other two people doing it if not i have no i like my biggest insult for a movie is why like i don't i don't have any whys about the human centipede or any these other movies that's actually a good movie you wouldn't try to do something or it didn't work or you didn't it in but this is like oh come on who's this for who's this for and why do we need another one of these that being said philip seamer-humman like playing basketball was funny there are some funny parts of the movie the basketball scenes are pretty pretty hysterical never saw this yes alex baldwin i think yes baldwin was good too it's a totally watchable movie just because i have so many likeable watchable people in it but critics could not like this movie but what are we talking about we're talking about 56 we're talking about 36 where are we with this all right i'm gonna lock it in bruh ben stiller jennifer aniston are very likeable and there are some funny parts of this movie but it is very bad so i write it on the middle of 50 oh wow that's high to me it might be it might be i never saw it but just judging from every thing i know about it which is very little uh 29 right i also didn't see it but what i recall is that it's like you said it seemed like it was just a write down the middle comedy but i do remember it making people wanting to buy ferret so i gave it 48 i gave it a i gave it a 41 i didn't factor in the ferret factor along came poly is rotten a 26 that's good news for jenna damn feeling good i knew surrusting i was thinking it is that thing where you go well what critic worth their salt would give this a thumbs up and if you do that math you go well nobody and it should be 14 but you still give it nice all right here we go is this the last one our final film i i'm gonna say everyone's within striking distance at this point genus a little head but everyone's within striking distance this movie is in the top 30 highest grossing january releases of all time stars michael keaton is a troubled man being tortured by the death of his wife when he discovers he can communicate with her through white noise he accidentally lets something unwanted into his life it's 2005's white noise it is anyone seen this movie now damn it why i haven't seen it either oh okay i want to know what you thought um oh crap i don't know anything about this movie okay oh i should have been looking at the posters yeah yeah i'd like that do they ever have movies uh they have one called moving on like you know when the wife dies the guy goes out hoaring all right next i'll get myself two corvettes well that sucked one for me one for my girlfriend what year was this awesome what year what year did this come out this was 2005 so before any big michael's dark days for mike mulkett yeah you said this one made a lot of money i forgot yeah top 30 highest grossing january releases of all time it makes me think that it's got to be a bit high highest scoring asian in the nba all right what do we do here i mean it's it's all jenna jenna's got a little lead not a big safe lead but a little lead so she's got to play a little defense here play it safe uh i feel like ron brine and i are all kind of knotted up i i may be a couple of ticks ahead um but what do we do do we swing for the fences here i think we're more in the go for the triple category and you're in the block the plate category close enough that we should be trying to get the score though right like i think i was off my more than 10 or 15 yeah we could all do it so let's lock it in didn't like it but did they hate it you think people didn't like it watch this be like an 85 movie well it grossed a lot of money so there's got to be a little word of mouth and that kind of stuff okay what's exactly set in the world on fire in 2005 it's like people rushed out to see now all right michael keaton movie i'm locked in run you go first okay here's my reason and the poster is trash it doesn't look good you know we should do we should put all the posters together on one page and then i should bring strangers in and go ron funches he only saw one of these movies only one can you guess now again out of the five you have a very low percentage chance of getting 20 black community ron funches only one only one out of all the posters can you guess which one i like that what's your reason uh okay posters horrible didn't get a lot of money though and it leaves me like nobody would have saw it unless there was a big word of mouth about it being really good so i'm doing it at 82 percent holy shit holy if it's anywhere near that you're gonna dominate this game that's why i figured i either had to swing either is gonna be there and i'm gonna win or i was gonna lose either way i will put wow brian what do you got 30 wild guess my heart is racing i'm sweating i don't feel good about this but i tried to go as middle of the road as i thought this movie could go i said 43 oh i got a chance i said 56 white noise is rotten oh i'm not waiting at seven oh oh brian okay what did you say brian uh three let me do the math i think i'm still might have won oh my seven and this is one of the top grossing movies of january of all time i only picked up 13 points on gene in there i was i was like i've never heard of it i'm sure it's bad but if it's if it spread like i was thinking about ron like somebody must have said it was good and moved it on seven wow ron you played a great game i like swinging for the fences at the end of it it obviously did not work out well for you you're in fourth place and off the podium at 117 points leaving the three of you guys as usual adam corolla on the podium congratulations 93 my man that's a strong third place ha ha ha ha ha ha bald brian your score is in the 70s all right and i have to say congratulations to gene agrad who won with 55 yes brian 72 all right that was a big ass swing there man all right that's why i have to play the game my favorite part presented by true car

give me crack trouble in the middle east celebrity drunk bell towns eat news with genea genea the news with genea grad hey genea skip your first story and get to your second story would you please well it's possible that kevin hart could get a second shot at hosting the academy awards ellen degenerous tried to facilitate an understanding between the comic and the motion picture academy by encouraging hart to host in a taped interview from her show on friday she's a monocombe beggin of comedians yeah she gets involved she's like a lesbian monocombe beggin now remember hart lost that gig over some old tweets and jokes that were homophobic that's about 10 years ago so in an effort to rehabilitate his image he addressed the controversy as a guest on the ellen show here's a clip of hart talking to ellen about when the controversy started to really heat up the headlines are kevin hart refuses to apologize for homophobic tweets from the past the word again was left out everybody took those headlines and started to run with it so now the slander on my name is all homophobia now i'm a little upset i'm a little upset because i know who i am i know i don't have a homophobic bone in my body i know i've addressed it i know i've apologized so he's at top i know that within my apologies i've taken 10 years a little but to put my apology to work i yet to go back to that version of the immature comedian that once was i've moved on i'm a grown man i'm cultured i'm manufactured i'm i'm a guy that understands now i look at life through a different lens and because of that i live it a different way so now i'm kind of upset because these 10 years are just being ignored they're being brushed past nobody is saying guys this is this is 10 years no headlines are saying 10 years ago he apologized nobody's finding the apologies nobody's finding the footage from where i had to address it i'd love you know i'd love to do a game it's a game called we reanimate richard pryor and sam kennison and we go watch this clip tell me what the fuck is going on and they'd be like is a black guy trying to fuck that shit no what's he do he's a comedian what's he explaining again it'd be awesome uh ellen should just be like here's her new job she's got all the money she's talking about quitting her job there should just be a train that goes to a fucking gulag for people that are homophobic and she should just be the conductor and she should just point oh wow tell me your story yep it's good all the side and get out of line if not you're going in the cattle cart you're going to the fucking gulag yeah all right when did we when did the crazy scrutiny on comedians come down but uh all right ellen will decide she'll make it right and i guess that's the show you gotta go on well yeah i mean she's she's an out lesbian comedian who's supporting kevin hart so how much better can it be for kevin so she's supporting him absolutely she wants a second chance for him how okay good to host i don't think anyone wants to i think that there's a secret thing which is i think people want to be asked to do it but the is a guy wrote on the oscars for the last two years it's heavy lifting like there's there's there's it's it's basically it's basically this it's like saying run would you like to get into the octagon and have a professional fight in in in three months and you go oh yeah i'd like to do that and then i go fine i'll see it madsen square garden in three months and then you leave and go fuck and here's driving home you clearly don't know me that said yeah i know i i'm i'm picturing you saying yes and then realize i must train every day and stop eating fruit loops and it's it's going to ruin the next three months of my life or fuck it no training but i'm gonna walk and get killed do a good job because it's the worst audience is people who are so high society and highfalutin that you did and you don't the best thing you can do is make fun of them and they don't usually respond to that right but and 20% of people in the audience are very nervous it is it is a horrible audience i do agree but what i'm saying is is you could either consume the next three months of your life trying to do bits trying to get jokes trying to call in favors from celebrities to do whatever or you could go james franco style i gotta fuck it i'll read what's in the pranther and then it'll be a disaster everyone will hate you so it's that way with the octons like you either train your ass off for three months and go try it or fuck it i'm having a cheeseburger okay but the date is looming so i think everyone kind of wants to be asked but doesn't really want to do it yeah the best praise you're gonna get is it was good it was good right so if you're agreeing to go into the octagon and then somebody tapped you on the shoulder four days later and goes uh dana white needs you to apologize to him and you go what he's not gonna let you in unless you apologize you go oh fuck it i'm not going to go ahead so i have the feeling that no one really wants to do it they just obviously you've come to the point in your career when they ask you to do the Oscars it is as good just about is doing the Oscar now you can do it and suck this will be better i was asked to do the Oscar that's the level i rose to as a comedian and he's and he still wants in or at least that's the appearance he's putting on well we'll see yeah well speaking of comedians tiffani had to show people on new year's eve that even the most successful comics black they say it's still a rock show this guy can we get a white guy well this is a this is a pretty crazy story the actress and comedian forgot parts of her set she failed to connect jokes and while audience members started booing and heckling and leaving she apparently ended up sitting down and just drinking with them i have two clips this is this is a small clip from the show of course it's not great footage it's from the audience but this this is actually from the show and then i'll have something from right before the show like whatever so it was a tough show in other news jimmy jj walker you are racist i didn't know for real i make jokes mostly about folks of color three black people too much they all have to do stand up do this again till february at the early middle room can we have a little affirmative action for redhead to get up there a nice ginger so people were like what in the hell happened what happened well tell you what happened well meanwhile for a little perspective we're i'm just kind of connecting the dots here i i wasn't there but as to why she might have had such a rough set haddish posted this video of herself the day of the show it seems like the morning of the show what up y'all it's me tiffani haddish and i ain't gonna lie to you i've been out here in miami since yesterday's night or early this morning and i partied i partied all night i partied um not even night i partied all morning i went to bed at seven it's whatever time it is right now i'm up getting ready to do this show tonight new year's eve i'm about to party i'm about to party some more who come to party with me who come to ring in the new year with me we have to james i forget the name of the theater yeah the good start go to my website tiffani haddish dot com we find out where's yeah let me tell you what happened um night first off any performance you see on new year's eve this was a new year's eve performance any performance you see on a new year's eve is a total money grab no one wants to work on new year's eve nobody wants to work that night you think about it like you even if you work on christmas or thanksgiving that's still not into the night you know what i mean you eat dinner four o'clock uh take a nap whatever go out and work that night but new year's eve is a night every single person is out having a good time drinking getting their fucking party on and you are supposed to be sober and working so every new year's eve gig is a money grab uh i've done them it's not i'm not saying anything you you make the decision they pay you more right because they're going hey man it ain't just the friday night it's new year's eve and we're going to pay you more and you go fuck it i'll try to stay sober and i'll work on new year's eve i've done it ron you've probably done it yes and so you go all right a it's a money grab so it's not like hey i'm filming my special and i'm tuning up or i'm doing it for the kids or the veterans or anything it's like pure money grab next thing is you start getting into travel and you start boozing when you're traveling like you're on the plane you're in first class i will send you first class tickets will fly out to Miami you're sitting in first class you're getting your fucking drink on because it's at the end of the year you've been traveling you're stressed out you've had a crazy schedule you've not slept at home the whole year and you go fuck it i'm just going to go out to Miami i'm going to get my fucking check and we're going next part is everyone loves me right everyone loves me everyone fucking loves me that's good for a seven minute set but it's not good for an hour and 20 minutes like and so you find yourself having a few too many boozers on the plane or at the party or in the hotel or whatever and then you're like oh fuck it i'll drink a cup of coffee and then i'll just go out on stage and do my thing and you go out there and it's like it ain't happening yeah it's it's not there and you know it quick and the audience knows it quicker and i always look at it like we're talking about magic johnson hosting a late night show which is like he's magic johnson the beloved laker for 10 minutes into the first episode at a certain point he's a late night show hoes and he's not good enough yeah and i don't care how much we love you you're that rock band or you're that comedian or you're that whoever will give me about 10 minutes and then after that if your favorite band of all time is just drunk off their ass and knocking fucking mic stands over you go oh what am i here for why'd i pay all this money and you paid extra money because it's new year speaking of you paying extra money and imagine the new year's eve audiences especially later in the night are not the most attentive audience right right and you also we we are not even starting to factor in i mean everything about this is a tornado of a shit show you throw in that it's in miami right already just not really that great of audiences because they prefer to be out and about dancing doing cocaine it's not a sit down listen type of establishment right so that just caught up to absolutely she said the same thing she said i've slept in my own bed 28 days this year i've worked every single day i got on the plane i was feeling celebratory and and i made a mistake yeah and the good news the thing i like about her and and i like her just from meeting her personally at the uh oscar st i think it was last year the year before this year she's great she's great the whole thing about this whole thing is as long as you own it and as long as you kind of realize hey man i i let the audience down and i drank too much on the plane and this one's on me good lesson learned not going to happen again if you go fuck the promoter fuck the audience fuck everybody fuck the airplane pilot or i was over served or whatever it is then you learn nothing and it shall happen again that's exactly what i loved about it she didn't blame anybody but herself she knew exactly what happened that she was unprepared and then she was too drunk and she didn't do her job bro and and that happens to all of us and it's fun and like you said i mean i'm knowing her for for a little bit she's one of just the coolest people in general to hang out with and she just it's awesome it's awesome that she's that famous that watching a bombing set gets her new is news i love to watch my friends bomb so my favorite act okay all right so i predict this won't happen again or she'll die in rehab let me tell you but i'm hoping for the first one again simply save almost half of us make new year's resolutions i would have made simply safe a new year's resolution but i already have it how about you save money how about you get organized how about you start with

safe dot com slash adam all right let's do one more all right well switching gears a little bit in 2018 of course former cosby show actor jeffrey owens was publicly shamed for working at trader joes and that became a top story now the same thing is happening to former idol american idol co-host brian dunkelman the show let him go after the first season and for the past three years apparently he's been paying bills as an uber driver according to tmz and they they got divorce papers leaked to them and and release that dunkelman fired back on social media we're the worst society yeah we're the worst agree more he said a guy just basically went look uh my co-host says fucking frosted tips this is some sort of glorified church singing show i'm a comedian i'm out and it will never stop punishing him no you're absolutely right so he said uh two tmz into harvey levin i chose to stop doing stand-up comedy and started driving an uber so i could be there for my son as much as he needed after our life as we knew was destroyed print that wow yeah sad for me too because whatever kimmel does interviews like corolla is that your dunkelman would you rather be a dunkelman or louinsky what's that corolla doing he's yet giving you louinsky's while he's your dunkelman how's it going kimmel louinsky's doing all right come on let's see that dress kimmel we call it janetys where i'm from janetys mm-hmm because there is a wrestler shon michael's marty janet partner marty janet oh you're either the michael's or the janet shon michael's he have a superstar hall of famer and marty janetys marty janetys janet he put up a post about whether it was okay for him to date a woman that he didn't know if it was his daughter or not oh my well it's always okay if you don't know plausible to high-level yeah but he was like he was 30% that it could be well that's that's happier than a toy coin toss they were what are the rockers yeah the rockers tag team shon michael's there's an internet superstar wow looking at him which one you think made it hard to tell it's hard to tell they look like jam in the misfit they both look i live off a good saying okay they both look like they're extras and mama mia yes it was a different time a simpler time no they got a lady they got a lot of girls looking like that wow so i'm guessing janetys again the left yep yeah you gave you the janetty vibe yeah i just got the i'm a pizon you know you know i'm a mario janetty all right where were we one more all right well we're gonna go full international on this one supermodel bar raffaele may face charges of tax evasion money laundering and perjury i like her more work work it out oh yeah you know you know who she's notoriously tied to in the dating world leonardo that's right according to page six israeli authorities notified her thursday that she may be indicted for lying that she was living with leonardo de caprio in the u.s even though her primary residence was in televieve israeli authorities believe she did this to hide more than six million bucks she earned from 2009 to 2012 her attorney uh wait for it um moisha mesrahi you're not super surprised claims bar hasn't hit it hit anything uh she's reportedly worth about 20 million and by the way this isn't her first brush with problems of work in israel like it's one hot ass chew yeah how do you have like cab drivers and guys who worked at fast food and stuff when everyone's an attorney how's that work that's a very good point i mean every single person there's an attorney yeah that's you have to go in the army and you have to be an attorney and you go into a place and go hey i need my boot repair and they go i'm an attorney don't look at me it's like going to the french raria era there's gonna be some account oh yeah that's right you know she's stereotyped they just don't catch bobble that's right so she also became the subject of criticism in 2007 when she briefly married a family friend to dodge military service because you have to go into military service at at 18 too hot male too hot but married women don't have to so she just married a buddy listen too hot big distraction i gotta tell you know work in the military having bend israel everybody okay not everyone is bar but everyone's super hot and they all have uh you know ak-47 strapped to their back and they're all in their uniforms israelis are hot i get it named after passing the bar by the way something must do before you become an attorney there everyone goes to court i'm suing you no wait i'm suing you the judge is like no

army and uh look if you made a shitload of money modeling i don't care if you laundry some of it or launder with leo yeah with leo so she owes well i wonder what the tax rate is in israel i mean they got uh jino they got uh they got a lot of overhead over there yeah wall to keep up you know and they and i think they have a lot of public services so i would imagine it's pretty high but curious i

kullo show 24 89 with the great gary synees genagrad brian bishop from 2019 good day genagrad good day to you handball brian eat a dick oh and gary synees in studio good to see you again my friend thanks very much there's many things going on in the military world in the auction world and uh entertainment as well we'll get into gary with that gary uh i'm in love with gary synees um everybody says he's the best guy on the planet i i know it firsthand because um i showed up about three four years ago to race and cornado cornado island on the military base and uh there was the tenet danban all set up and playing for free nice and uh i was so uh nice i so excited to see gary and hear the band and the music and uh i think gave me a little tour of his his uh tour bus and showed him the race car it's all very it's uh very american was that the one of the paul newman cars i think i was driving a bob sharp car that i think was a paul newman as a newman sharp racing team from from back in the day or i was driving a um dots in 2000 rhodes are that i blew the engine up on but i'll figure i'll figure it out we'll figure it out max paddle tell me he was there but the band sounded great how many tour how many dates do you guys play a year uh we average about 30 i think something something like that and visually it looks like a seahalus commercial when they're up there but audibly it's totally different iraq it's iraq it's every time i see one of those commercials where a bunch of guys got together in a barn with one black guy i'm like who are these people every diverse group of nature it's work how does this work but it's very entertaining though oh yeah wait do you rehearse in a barn no that would twinkly fairy lights in the background is everyone good enough that and you play enough that you don't need to rehearse or how does that work yeah well uh we rehearse uh formally about once a year when we learn some new songs but uh the band's been playing now for 15 some years so we can pull it together pretty good uh if we haven't played in four weeks or something we just get up there and do it and all things military i'm guessing and all the proceeds going to the military no well the the band is a program of my foundation the gary sinise foundation so you know i only play for the military that's that's all i do i don't play for money or play for anything else it's just part of the mission so it's uh to raise spirits raise awareness weight raise funding that kind of thing and the generosity of the american people who support the gary sinise foundation we take that and we provide entertainment much like the us so does the uh there's going to be a cheap that's going off tomorrow as you hear this and that's at barrett jackson and scott's dale uh so it's the big auction weekends if anyone is curious about the big auction weekends it's there's the pebble beach auction auction weekend that's where i would go do the rolex historic race at laguna seca then there's scott's dale that's where all the rms and the goodings and the meekums uh maybe meekum bear jackson all that and then at some point a milia island florida so there's like three big ones this is sort of the second in the triple crown or first of the year and uh these things are getting massive they they're not only massive they're massive tv shows like some of the best ratings like the discovery channel the history channel have will just be these auction shows they go up there they bring these vehicles out there most of them are for profit but some are for charity and the charity ones oftentimes knock it out of the park because you can write off part of that well you can write it off past what the value of the vehicle would be so if an 81 cj7 nicely done is 30 grand everything past that you can tell uncle sam uh you're going to keep and that's good and that's exactly what they're going to do with this cheap you did that with uh richard from fast and loud right yeah we went we went to him we proposed an idea about support in the gary snes foundation with the refurbishing of a vehicle he chose this 1981 Jeep and uh all the proceeds are going to go to the gary snes foundation from the auction we're going to do it at 5 30 friday and uh i'm going to be there and it's my first time never been there before so it'll be a interesting thing i'm not unlike you adam i'm not a big car guy but i'm learning more about it as as time goes on they did a tv show the fast and loud tv show yeah richard ronks is this real recognizable car character um sort of uh i guess think um um oh god what's his name from drivens and diners oh guy fury i think guy fury for cars you know you'll see him on dodge commercials if you less if you less burgers you less burgers in flavor town more wrenches yeah i'm going to motor town kind of a personality meets you know rencher probably a little more personality sort of uh guy fury a little less chef a little more personality appreciator but does it uh does these entertaining shows gets these cars you know flip some modify some and does them all and then puts them up and sometimes sells them privately but does does the charity thing and he's got his name on it he's his it's it's been you know these guys at a certain point a lot of these guys sort of become like artists you know what i mean like it's a Picasso it's got his name on it's going to be worth something uh now and and one day because his name is on it oh yeah and you can see on that i mean he put the gary sone's foundation logos on it it's uh on the speedometer it's got gary sone's foundation and all this so it's really specifically you know raisins yeah there you go that's one of our coins uh oh challenge coins that's a challenge stuck to the side i love it one day after the rollover accident they're pulling the parametra pulling the couple out they'll see the gary sone's upside down and we'll see if they can read gary sone's when it's inverted on the steering wheel true that's no we wish him years of happy mother people don't have to like add stuff i didn't really mean that joke they say horrible jokes and they go but seriously folks we're we're many years happy god bless him god bless him god speed and god bless him thank for the charity so you'll be up so it is a madhouse i mean it is uh kind of woodstock for cars there's huge only nothing like woodstock only nothing like woodstock only totally different voting block uh it'll be a bunch of dudes it's a huge it's a tent but i mean the tent will take up 40 acres and they'll it really will like i don't know how i don't know what they expect maxipata over there but um i mean it's a massive it's just a massive thing a city of tents and they just go in there it just gets bigger every year oh rich man poor man in tent city yeah i know it really is yeah yeah really johannisberg and barrett jackson rich man poor man should be having a drink in a tent like having a drinking booze in a tent that's not a middle class thing that's on the street sucking on some sterno or drinking a highball with richard ronnings and gary cenees and barrett jackson scott's dale all right uh 2016 when we saw gary i was driving the dots in 610 roedster broke in 2015 i charted my life through cars there you go so uh the book is well we'll talk about that tell me about the book grateful american uh yeah i have the the book coming out uh february 12th um wrote it took about a year to write it uh it's it's it's grateful american a journey from self to service so it's really it it's a memoir it goes through a lot of the early theater days at the start of the theater company in chicago uh step and wall little known theater then into then into a lot of the the acting work a singular focus on movies and acting and theater and that kind of thing and then uh post september 11th really everything changed and uh i started devoting all my time not all my time but uh a majority of my time when i wasn't working to supporting the men and women who were deploying to iraq and afghanistan and been all over the world uh started the band play play multiple concerts over the years probably 400 something concerts over the last 15 years for the military started the foundation uh and so it really is this sort of memoir that journeys into the service work that that i'm proud of and spending all my time on right now let's talk about happiness and service and i'll i'll get a little cathartic here and uh but you tell me what your own experience is you know every time you talk to any deep thinker they go happiness isn't about material objects or money or how big your house is or whatever it's always about providing a service and and human connection and and volunteering and we all kind of know it like we all kind of know the christmas where you just kind of get everything you want you just start tearing everything open and it's it's all there and you don't really appreciate it that much and what are you talking about it's my kids and then we all know that thing of when i was a catholic big brother it felt really good like i i felt good about it you know and it when i was poor and i never got any gifts i i didn't ever even get a i never really got thanked or anything from the kid later on i became a celebrity and i never talked to him ever again that was your thank you what is the ultimate of a star fucker yeah star coaster we gotta we gotta work it out star kind of star ghosted you i literally saw him every weekend and until i got on basic cable and never saw him he was getting big he turned 18 and i never saw me again but i felt good so the question is so every year i go now come on you know oh that's me and uh young nade at one of the catholic big brother barbecues when i was 28 and a half or 30 whatever the hell i was did somebody else spell out that name tag because your name is incredibly legible oh yeah i would never i can't i i would put a swastika where the a was like i'm not intentionally obviously but no i couldn't i could my penmanship would be so bad well first thing i do streak if i was writing my name on a name tag i would start in the middle and run out of room for the m right so the m would be on the sticky part i'd have an arrow like a third writing arrow he's like go around hi there madam madam no the m is around the back yeah the uh yeah that's young nate never never heard from the boy but either way okay uh it was good now i go okay this is this is what happiness is service you have to provide service or do service and i've completely ignored everyone's advice and my own advice and i just keep moving forward like i need another car i need a bigger house and blah blah and you're happier than ever i'm happier never what happened tell me about your happiness level general levels of happiness the further you've gotten into service for others i well look i i've had a blessed life in in a lot of ways there have been been ups and down certainly in difficult times and i try to keep those in perspective the good times as well as the bad times so you keep it all in perspective i met a lot of great people over the years many of them have uh suffered and struggled and been through a lot of a lot of terrible things i've learned a lot from them i've um felt blessed at the you know success i've had and uh tried to pass on some of the to others did you have a phase or a time in your life when you were more self-centered and less about service and more about yourself your career your wealth well that that's why the book is called that it's it's it's a journey from self to service and how how service work took over my life and how i really feel like um you know it's it's given purpose you know greater purpose so you know you try to be a good dad you try to be a good husband you try to be a good family person take care of all all those needs and try to be a good dad yeah try you tried you're still trying yeah that's been a thing i'm good three days a week is um so but is it safe to say that your happiness level has gone up if we drew a graph of gary senes' happiness level and his service level that it would sort of follow the same trajectory well i think the the the service work gives life purpose you know a greater purpose let's use purpose yeah happiness i think we mix happiness with purpose all the time whereas purpose is like i feel like happiness is sort of a snow cone and cotton candy and purpose is a big steak with some vegetables and some broth like and some azu sauce like it's it's hearty you know what i mean i'm hungry i'm hungry uh and happiness is just sort of the fluffy candy corn of of life that everyone for some reason is chasing after but it's really sort of empty calories so at least we can pursue it here in this country yes yes and uh i'm guessing you're a pretty patriotic dude because i'm a grateful american there's no question about it uh i part of and and in terms of happiness i tell people or i'm i'm sort of a broken record which uh somehow makes me into a douche i guess that's just that you're bigoted give yourself a look at it just something i'm something like which is like look uh finding things about this country that don't work and trying to fix them or remedy them is a good pursuit but literally walking in your house and fucking looking for anything any crumb on the ground or anything or finding something that does work and turning into something that doesn't work or looking for the negative constantly is a is a direct path to unhappiness and i think this country does that i think we're i think we're like dogs who just chew on their own thigh like we just we are obsessed with how bad this country either is or was who i don't know i mean i don't i can't measure it maybe germany will give us a run for the money but who talks about their country's deeds from 200 years ago and beats the shit out of themselves more than this country like who what we did to the native american yeah what we did i don't know we my family's from italy and my wife's family's like literally from italy either i don't know what the we is how many we's like how many guys named jebediah are actually still here who are the great great descendants from these guys i mean gary senise in forest gump yes but there's not that many of the lineage of his soldiers how many of how get it there's things that could work better and there's things that need to be fixed but does it have to be this sort of this constant self-flagellation yes like it's like me going oh no i love my son i love me he's a great boy he's a dear boy he's a good i look i'm his father i'm fan of how about it but all i do is tell him how shitty he is all day every day and what he could have done better and what he did in the past and remember the third grade not a good year not a good year for you many people were hurt many people of that elementary school a lot of tears a lot of tears anyway i love you to death i love you to death i'm proud i love you you're you're horrible a lot of shame a lot of shame why do we what is this pursuit i i don't i don't get it i'm not saying put blinders on and and march around waving a flag i'm just saying what countries do we compare ourselves to around the world who's doing much better than us who's done better in the world than us well yeah but what about all the yes there's always going to be that who who are we comparing ourselves to is what i'm saying like a fucking snow globe like with a beautiful little village in it like who what other countries don't have skeletons in their claws at a pass but then who who gets cold on when there's a tsunami who who are we supposed to reach who wants to fix everything innovation medicine like would we be better with more countries around the world that had our our mindset or less what's the middle east what what what are we doing gary answer all of the answer everything there there's a lot to unpack there look my my focus is yeah okay every country on the planet in the history of the planet has its skeletons in the closet it has its flaws it's has its history you know the the history of the world is all about conquest and who had the bigger sword and who had the most guns and who had the bigger army that's how borders were drawn right all right as the as as time goes on so you know we all can dig into our past and not be terribly happy about it on the other hand here in this country we have freedom providers and we have we have a freedom that when you travel around the world and you go to different places that don't really understand what that is you have a a new appreciation for it and you have an appreciation for the people that fight for it and defend it and protect it and i am a grateful person for that i could spend all my time like you screaming about the crumbs on the floor and the dirty room and all all of that stuff and i'm sorry adam you need some you need some help there but i could do that but on the other hand i've been to too many hospitals you know i've seen too many wounded folks who with burns all over their bodies and blindness and traumatic brain injury and the amputations and all this terrible stuff the terrible scars and wounds of war and i've seen resilient families throughout the the past several decades going through these terrible challenges in the hospitals and i found a way that i could support them and help them and does that give life meaning and purpose yes i was i feel like my heart was broken after september 11th and what happened to our country after that terrible day and what the images of that day will never leave leave my mind ad astor said uh that was an american plot i thought why so if you see him on the set leave him in the nuts yeah for all the people that are dead i'll try and get him so yeah ad astor's a perfect fucking example of what i'm talking about which is like i get it you hate this country that's provided so much for you you'll never say i hate this country you'll just let it out in little bits and pieces like that that well that's the plot we'd see i a took down those towers and you know he literally said were you sad and he's like you know we could have liberated those concentration camps years earlier and i'm like or we could have not liberated anyone fucking ever like okay yeah i'm not going to argue with you we could have made a job one and said uh you know we're going to stop uh whooping up on the germans and the japanese we're going to focus on liberating these camps and uh who could argue with we could have done it earlier but who else did it is my bigger question and did we do it at all that's more of a focus for me who again who we compared what okay mexico could have done it earlier too but they didn't they didn't do it they didn't do it at all so okay ed you got a beef i don't know how's your beef with mexico you got a beef with mexico they didn't they didn't liberate any camps they didn't participate so there you go so shut up is what i'm saying or just admit you hate this country or better yet just admit you hate your dad because that's what it is it's all i hate my dad well i i donate hate this country and i've i've been around the world i've been to the war zones i've seen i've been to places that don't really understand what freedom is they've been living under the boot of some dictator for years when you know when you go to the border between north and south korea and you stand on the dmz you can stand right there i don't know if you've ever done that but i've stood right on the border and you can as as close as i am to you i can be staring in the face of a north korean guard and you stand and they're staring at me and the border's right in between us and he can come right down the people in the back behind me are free and they have been for several years protected and defended by the men and women of the united states along with the republic of korea the people over here on this side of the border are slaves they have no concept of what freedom is they worship the evil dictator over there that's what they do just imagine when if if that country korea and the the peninsula there is ever unified just imagine the mass graves that we're going to find in that country filled with slaves uh worshiping the evil dictator for all these years there are concentration camps in that country gulags they still exist today the people in the south appreciate their freedom they know they value it it's one of the strongest economies in the world and the people over here are living in darkness and they have been so you appreciate your freedom a lot more when you go to places that really don't know what it is did you are you surprised that here we are knocking on the door of 2020 and i mean i remember the kid in the 80s and young man in the 80s and stuff i thought well by the time we get to 2000 we'll be like you know hovercrafts and borderless and everyone will have a retinal stand and we'll have it'll be like a case on the moon yeah it's just it'll all be but whatever we talk about these thugs the crime gulags whatever like all right the burlin walls come down we had a little experiment lasted 35 years it was pretty evident to people what was going on on one side of the wall and how life was on the other side of the wall message sent to the world millions of people now with the ability to the internet cell phones everything it is like it's kind of devastating to me as a human that we're dragging this sort of archaic just almost like chromagnum sort of brain you want to talk about toxic masculinity i don't give a shit about kids wrestling at a barbecue this is what we should be focused on how do we get how is this still around why it's it's i know you don't have an answer it's surprising to me is it surprising to you well i don't i don't have an answer but again uh there you know if you have a broken heart and you're you're in despair for something there's a healing power and service work that's all i that's all i can say i have found you know my heart was broken when i watched people jump out of those buildings on september 11 2001 and my heart stayed broken and i needed to do something to assuage that broken heart to to change the course of my life at that point so like everything changed at that point i felt our country was vulnerable we all did we all were scared everybody was scared if you remember i mean all of a sudden anthrax is going through the mail and we think what's going on now you know is there are there more airplanes are there more bombs now we got anthrax everybody was paranoid about what's going to happen to our country and so we were galvanized for a moment you know in support of some sort of reaction you know some reply some response to that how are we going to take on these bad guys and do something and a lot of people raise their hands at that point i've met countless service members and i said why were why are you in the service september 11 yep they they watched it happen like pat philman and they raised they raised their hands and having vietnam veterans in my family and having uh i remember all too well what happened to our vietnam veterans when they came home from war i i was uh 18 years old 1973 so it was the last year of the draft and shortly after that i met my my wife she had brothers who served in vietnam her sister's husband i learned great valuable lessons from them and also had a lot of compassion for our vietnam veterans who were treated very very badly when they came home from war and i just didn't want that to happen to the people responding to the terrorist attacks at september 11th so i went out and tried to help them and that gave life real meaning real purpose and it's brought a lot of you know joy to my life that there's something that i can do as a celebrity to shine a light on these people um i got so many things to get into i'll i'll tease uh a question for you i you know you talk about so trump's talking about i don't know get out of syria or wherever we're getting out of like get out get out some people went in some people went out um and it's always like bring these boys home bring these men and women home home and i heard somebody say these guys signed up for this like they want to fight like they they volunteered not they didn't volunteer to go get killed but when i'm saying is is this notion of like it's like my kids or something like hey they didn't want any of this bring them bring them home bring them home it's like no they're patriots they're fighters they're soldiers they're trained they they many of them want to do their job what they signed up for the notion of get them out of there bring them home bring them home we don't want to see anybody any harm come to anybody i don't know if that's what they're thinking that's how i would be thinking if somebody just dropped me off in syria i'd be like i gotta get a pack of lakiniata but if i signed up and said hey man i'm my dad did this and my brother's doing this appeals to me i want to train and i want to be a part of this and i proudly want to want to serve and someone said no no come home i might go no i want to be here with my brother's doing doing what i signed up to do uh gary i think you'll have thoughts on that uh and tell me what your assessment is of of the average folks in the military who have volunteered i'll let you steep on that for a second first i'll tell you about lifelock experts say top cyber security predictions 2019 ransomware is going to taper off but crypto jacking other money making schemes will increase government regulations and public sentiment and privacy will drive stronger data protection policies more nation state attacks and surveillance of individuals good thing lifelock identity theft protection adds the power of norton security to help protect against threats to your devices that you can't easily see or fix on your own it's 2000 what i say almost 20 people let's go let's get some identity theft protection if there's a problem their agents will work to fix it but you won't have a problem because you'll have lifelock right dawson no one can prevent all identities that door cybercrime are monitored transactions at all businesses but lifelock with norton security can see threats you might miss on your own go to lifelock.com or call one in hundred lifelock and use promo code adam for an additional 10 percent off your first year let's promo code adam at lifelock.com for an extra 10 percent off fill the labradors in studio today because uh it's rob at the other shops last day he's moving to florida to purchase a home with his fiance is he taking phil no but he brought us phil and phil was his dog and he's in love with phil so i told him i will definitely bring phil over so that you can say bye it's going to be a very weird sad meeting of rob and phil and uh i don't obviously i feel like phil knows what's going on it's good sure yeah clear feels clearly all broken up about it right do you think you know what part of florida is moving to or is just going to florida would it be in date county i was talking to rob on sarita he was getting a little choked he was getting a little choked up about rob i will leave them alone yeah give them their time i'll make the social i'm not going to stand watch wrap it up down hug and phil and phil trying to eat his lunch while he's saying goodbye all right so gary sinise sorry uh what is your take on the uh your assessment of of what i just said and your average sort of folks that sign up for the military these days well we have it all volunteer military if you don't want to be there you wouldn't sign up uh everybody knows what their signing up for they make there's an ultimate clause that they they sign that means they're willing to give their life for their country and uh it's dangerous business you know certainly there are aspects of it that might be a little more dangerous than others infantry might be a little more dangerous than something else uh but people continue to sign up for for the infantry continue to want to fight uh if you don't want to do that you wouldn't sign up well it it sort of strikes me that you there's a balance obviously between putting your life in harm's way and being at a cocktail party 17 years later and going uh i was in the military oh what'd you do i i would clean the trays that they served lunch on like oh yeah where were you i was in north carolina like everyone kind of goes oh there you go versus oh i was in the second helicopter when we went over the wall at bin laden's place like now that's uh oh that's a different story for a lot of people so i imagine if you're of the mindset to sign up for this you do want to have those stories you do want to say i was in it i was in the battle i was a part of it now not everyone wants to go out searching for landmines and flip flops in a broomstick but i mean i think it attracts people who go i want to be there i want to i want the action well sure i mean the marines are you know a different branch than than the air force i mean everybody has a different uh specific calling but i would say with regards to the guys that clean the trays you know everybody would say that uh that every single job in the military means something if you have uh if you have dirty trays and bad food someplace you're gonna have a lot of people that aren't happy i just mean when you're trying to get laid at a party don't worry i'm a grateful american i'm just thinking about this guy trying to get laid saying he was in seal team six rather than uh working one of the main dishwashers that's all i get i'm thinking of him yeah i i get it sure and everybody's in seal team six now you know that's a good team to be in all right we got uh other cars by the way how many people they expect to uh attend barrett jackson this year they're trying to find that out um they're gonna have 1700 vehicles uh larry fitz gerrard is uh bringing a car out there for auction three cars three cars fool what three cars three cars six eight chival 70 plameth kuta and a 68 charger he's uh one of the good guys in the nfl tell you what and i i i say quietly just because he's sort of quiet but going about breaking every record and being dominant for so many years um so he's bringing out a bunch of cars and again gary will be there you'll be so what'll happen is is uh they'll do they'll talk up the car you'll be up on stage uh they'll have the cameras and everything there's always one guy who shouldn't be up there that they'll try to shoo away like one guy who's wearing a vest with a lot of a lot of buttons clipped to it and they'll go like no and then he'll hold up some general admission pass or drink coupon or something or they'll go get no get away from the jeep get away from the jeep so they'll be that guy richard will be there of course richard wrongs will be there then he'll get up there and he'll crack like a miller light because his contractually obliged and he'll go whoo do this thing and he'll hold it up there and uh he'll talk about how uh him and the crew didn't want to sell this baby they loved it so much by the time they're done with it and at some point they're going to hand the mic over to you now moment of truth this ain't a movie set this is a big tent we're going to run some lines here gary yeah i got i got a i got 30 seconds to talk about my foundation and to kind of get and get everybody excited about what the uh proceeds from my car are going to go to i get it but you start off by screaming who wants to party yeah and then you shotgun a beer like you understand this is a big raucous concert crowd i've seen it dealing with you know i'm saying 25 seconds yeah i still have the pain start getting in all the nuts and bolts of the dot orgs and you know what it means to you i mean you got a pound of beer and you got a good us a chant would be yeah yeah something like that or as long as a border you know border state you can go build that wall yeah you're really good you're smart you drop like toby kieth's name yeah good friend toby kieth called me he wished he could be here tonight you crack that beer and you shotgun it okay i'm saying oh yeah you're performer i got 30 seconds i don't have to tell you what to do 30 seconds for that but i feel like that well look you've not been there you know what i mean you may have been to the dmz but not been to barrett jackson with the heroes i'll tell you what i saw the steven tyler auction when they auctioned off his car mm-hmm and went for $850,000 yeah yeah i saw him yelling and screaming i'll do that scarf tied around your microphone yeah he has a song called red white and you know what he's doing oh you know that you know it always adds to the mix throwing the bass guitar yeah throw the bass guitar in the back i'm gonna sign one and they can sign that bass guitar throw it in there i'm sure that'll bring a lot of money in it's weird they were trying to add a guitar never really 110 i don't want a guitar i want a car yeah i whenever one of the zz top guys is giving a seller cars i'm putting a guitar in the back all right that's a tack $18 on to uh whatever the total was and let's keep moving a gary syne sign bass so that'll in the back over 300,000 expected to attend wow that is big that's great you think about your general events and your concerts and your your festivals festivals and all that kind of stuff super bowls or whatever that's pretty high mark 300 that's over the course of a few days about 2,500 are expected to be bidders and then the rest are just spectators like coachella yeah yeah it's crazy the best part the best part is once you get in on the bid they'll assign a guy to like stand next to you because he's kind of your barrett jackson lays on and that guy just stands in front of you goes come on man come on man it's for the troops come on man for the troops does he really is your little hype man oh yeah yeah he milks it well he's gonna be in front of you and he's gonna once they narrow it down to a few guys because when you when you go and the guy's going you know 100 120 with his name 100 you go 100 that guy will go they'll sign you a huckster yeah yeah he's right up in front of you and he's putting the putting the screws to you wow it's and I have no do you have any thoughts about you you do you have hopes what do you know do you have dreams no what do you think this keeps gonna go for do you have any expectations I don't know I don't want to give a number here then maybe too low or too high you want jinx it you're saying you don't know the number of the auction in advance I get it no I know what cars are worth so I normally if you took a goal wing Mercedes I'd go it's worth one one to one three probably hammer out about one two and then with the Vig it'll go so what do you what do you think what do you think our jeep's gonna go for well I have no idea because it's it's a charity car and charity cars have gone ballistic in the past because of the ride often because of the charity but some of them are like GM has donated the you know serial number one Camaro Z 28 for 2016 so part of it is I'm going to get the number one Z 28 Camaro to roll off the assembly line and and that thing will have a great value down down down the road this is it's a CJ seven it's nicely done it's it's a CJ seven is 15 to 25 or something I'm not deep in the jeep world but this one with Rawlings and everything is is good but I don't know it's it's it's all charity all the money is going to come from the charity I have found that these groups are very charitable I found that these numbers go very high and I found that with the tax incentives and write offs it it disguised the limit yes right when I did um it wants to be a millionaire I before I did it I had a mountain in my head I'm like this is the amount of the least amount I hope to walk away with this is the amount I'll be happy with and everything over this amount I'm thrilled so give us the here's the least you should go for what should they be happy with and everything oh this would be the this would be the you know the the happy mark well the the the vehicle itself is 30 grand so if you can get to uh six digits if you can get above a hundred thousand bucks I would I would be I would be happy with that I would say that would be it if it if it cracks 250 that would be insane so I I'll say one to 250 maxapata can you find other examples of charity cars from Barrett Jackson that weren't inherently you know worth a ton it can't be serial number one it can't be a Ferrari La Ferrari or something like that it's got to be something that is under a hundred grand that just went for well over a hundred grand I'll let you look for that and we'll see what we can prognosticate we also have uh Hollywood hand me down so the game to play we're going to guess on the charity items from all the Hollywood auctions this is a surprisingly difficult game Gary no I'm sure yeah yeah it's it's it's vexing it's vexing because stuff is surprisingly cheap oftentimes and amazing amazingly expensive other times which is basically saying what Gina just said all right let me tell you about craftsmen just use my craftsman tools this morning always have used the craftsman hand tools now I use the craftsman power tools Lowe's the

it's got all the good bells and whistles and everything so uh this is going up more than twice twice that all right you keep looking we will take ourselves a uh quickie break we'll come back with gary snes we'll play hollywood hand me downs next and now alcoa presents definitely not a june on the adam corolla show tape line alexandria ohio two brothers were arrested in connection with a youtube prank video showing one of the siblings speeding through a walmart wearing white underwear and a red cape on a dirt bike definitely not a june gary snes here we got the custom 1981 cj7 jeep all done up by uh richard ralings over there from fast and loud very successful show on the discovery channel it's coming up do we find out when oh in the book grateful american a journey from self to service you can pre-order it now at gary snesfoundation.com.org oh well who could have ever got or everybody make your changes I do I do realize the impulse that just write dot and then put the word calm but this is why we must be diligent people uh doing diligent diligent do we know when uh do we know when the move uh sorry when the tv show comes out we don't know when the season season a fast and loud comes out but it'll be it'll be this season you'll see the jeep and for those of you who are thinking about bidding uh a very cool thing to have is do we mention a signed bass guitar from gary snes how do we bring that okay another cool thing to have is popping in the episode where your car was built sure so it's it's sort of constant it'll it'll forever be young and forever be built and also let me let me say the conclusion of the tv show is the auction oh right so it's uh they're filming the whole thing oh well you you win that bid and you'll be you'll be on tv you'll be on that as well so fun thing to do uh with the jeep after you show your buddies up in the garage just walk down to the man cave and pop in the dvd and watch yourself uh in the building of the jeep he or she but probably dude most likely all right should we play the uh the game yes we should all right it's time to find out how much did they pay in another round of hollywood hand-me-downs all right so these all of these items were uh in the most recent profiles in history hollywood auction took place in early december here we go round one jules winfield's signature bad motherfucker wallet from pulp fiction johnny carcins nbc studio rainbow stage curtains from the tonight show or the kryptonite crystal from superman three all right i'm sorry the the bad motherfucker is from where pulp fiction come on i'm i'm trying to i know but i'm trying to this was used in the scene during the diner robbery sorry yes i got that ring go took it and the curtain i i was distracted by a bunch of something that was on my desk sorry the the curtain is from johnny carcine that is the curtain from the from the tonight show from 74 to 80 it's funny you look at it and you go oh yeah picture i'm coming through there so uh so often that is that the most surreal part about show businesses when you finally end up on letterman and you're back there talking to oh god biff um tom wilson this is named oh his name wasn't biff wait you're talking oh no no i'm sorry i thought about the actor who played biff and and back to the future no biff from letter like when you watch i'm a black guy with the cap and you're just he's got got a headset on and you're just credit for the tom wilson poll good poll thank you thank you for that now please don't talk and i was like you're just standing back there ready to go on and there's biff like standing there and you saw him when you were 19 like jobless uh did you gary you did that you must have done that tonight sure with i with jay with oh just jay when was uh i'm trying to think of when i was so something before forest gump that would have got you on the tonight show no no forest gump i think was the first time i went on on leno you didn't make the rounds for of mison men i love that i'm not on not on the tonight show i mean i did i did some you know but it was forest gump i think you know that was kind of the biggest movie you know let me kiss a little gump ass for second um couple things when there's when you can have a few moments that just are in the zeitgeist like i laugh my ass off on an almost nightly basis because my son sonny follows everyone around in the house he's 12 and he just spouts out uh details from like he'll just follow go kyley Irving you know when he was in high school he was a guard because he was only six one he grew he's six nine now he grew from six one to six nine between his junior and and senior year in high school he come at you being in high school so kyley so uh vince carter he won the dunk competition in 1999 he's still in the league he's still playing in the league vince carter's number three all time in threes people looking up as a dunk master vince carter constricted and he follows everyone around and just tells him stuff final episode of fantasy bs available now and i said to him uh i said to my wife i said this kid's he's he's like bubba gump talking about shrimp and so every time he starts spouting off we go we got coconut we got popcorn and everyone starts laughing because everyone knows the scene like it it's that impactful the i thought the movie was i saw it in the theater i thought it was revolutionary and i i loved it and i you know i know like some people like picked on it a little bit like here and there um and i don't mean that in a big way i just mean like there's a lot of sort of folks that just their job to find things that that movie was groundbreaking to me and i was excellent and i thought you weren't tom everyone is just excellent i loved all the flashbacks and it's running and growing the beer that's just every part of it i just love that movie epic it was epic yeah it was a fun movie yeah great great movie to be in i hadn't been in that many films before that so it was a early in the in the movie career i was grateful to get that so the wallet the curtain and the crystal superman three oh the kryptonite crystal oh from three richard prior movie okay this is without the um uh price they add on the big yeah the 10 percent well uh you can and we don't need to but ultimately as a purist uh when people do a thing where they go for the sake of sake of argument um and for for not even for the sake of argument for sake of pride when you sell to your jeep your jeep may hammer for $100,000 but the auction house gets 10 and the person who bid is paying the 10 so somebody was willing to pay $110,000 for your jeep and when people say what did the jeep sell for tell them 110 because that's what some but that's the check that was cut you know and they people do a lot of like yeah well the jeep sold for 100 but but hammer for 100 no it that's the price whether it's tax on groceries or whatever it is that is the price that somebody paid so uh max feta in the future and we will tack that on because it is the price that it's sold for we do that no problem all right and uh sometimes as the price goes up like car sells for five million bucks that's 500 grand that ends up to be real money um all right do we know what the auction house does with the vig it's at least 10 percent it may be more let me check we'll figure it out anyway oh yeah it is around 10 but it changes like per tier so if it's like over 100 thousand goes down to like eight percent all right but we'll figure 10 percent just for the sake of conversation all right uh also uh by spin till barrett drops the vig for charity cars okay ah they do so you're gonna deal that's good discount all right um um oh boy it's tough man this is a very tough one okay oh no come on it's like i can't i'm all over the damn road here damn it okay here we go uh brine what do you think my guess is that the the the curtain went for less because it's one of several they said it was from 74 to 80 so it's not the curtain it's one of several curtains that is prime time though but it is so i went with the the wallet iconic one of a kind 5000 i don't i don't know where anyone would put that curtain no matter how much they love johnny karson so i i don't think that's the one i love the wallet but i think it's so it's been so easily replicated and you can get it at any flea market i know this is the real one but i think that drops the price i i'm not sure but i'm gonna say the kryptonite at 12k this is why you gotta play the game gary you have to play the game what do you think well you know i am gonna go with the curtain uh johnny karson was on for 30 years i think there's probably some crazy collector out there that really uh was a big big fan over that period of time so i'm gonna say like 25 000 i uh the crystals from three are the kryptonites from three so not so much the wallet just doesn't feel like there's enough there curtain i guess it depends what age you are but that was prime years from 74 to 80 i went curtain as well i went 40 000 on the curtain the curtain closed at $6 000 oh the wallet closed at $8 000 wow leaving the superman three kryptonite crystal which closed $75 at $12 000 dollars all right he's exactly all feeling good feeling lucky that is shocking because that is not iconic and that is not a good move adam you and who are the old guys here in this in this room i think it's you and me even if we count dog ears i don't think phil makes the cut gary that's not gonna happen here that was lightning in a bottle i'm also disgusted that we live in a world where that was the most expensive but adam i was using your nerd logic on that too it is uh gary it should be noted that nerds have a lot of extra income and are willing to pay ungodly prices for junk yeah that's how you become a nerd all right so throw a stormtrooper helm on the back of that and watch him skyrocket all right here we go all right uh next round chief brody's eyeglasses from the movie jaws mm-hmm sheriff andy taylor's badge from the andy griffith show and a t-rex screen used tooth from jurassic park mounted nicely yeah all right well again using the nerd equation you'd want to go with the tooth uh to me the glasses are iconic and the sheriff badge is great tv probably not as good as uh theatrical uh i loved brody i love that character if you really think about that character he was he was like he was bold and sort of heroic and sort of cowardly kind of at the same time he was every man he was scared he didn't like the water you know but he was very dedicated to his town and his family it was a perfect guide to put out in the middle of the ocean his literally like i'm gonna shoot that shark was kind of his take really had no business being there they had the sea guy and uh dryfus and they had the captain there and then even like the police sheriff to be there no but uh he he roice shadow was great he wasn't um but is it the most expensive item all right let's see okay it's a good pod great pod wait we can hear phil breathing and we're gonna say all right uh we locked in okay no confidence at all prime what do you think i could have gone any direction on this i went against my first instinct and said a oh no sorry the tooth which i think is c i said the tooth for 3000 uh gary i'm gonna go with the glasses actually uh that was it was a ground-baking film at that time i think 1976 it was probably the first big block to find the blockbuster it sure did summer the summer one like or the block it was the first time people lined up around the block made it made more money than ever no i i agree but is it was there also like a summer release aspect to it or i don't know the history that well how many how many of those types of films were released during the summer but that was the defining blockbuster of its generation check it out i'm going what do you got 10 000 on the glasses genie grand i i don't think it gets more iconic overall i'm going against your tv theory then it doesn't get more iconic overall than andy griffin he he's americana he's beloved it's a it's a cherished show that people are die hard for when they love it i said the badge at 9.5 thousand now i own odys is mason jar and barny's you hang on to that man so i'm hanging on to that i'm rooting for the star but i'm i'm sticking with my own advice on the nerds Jurassic park big franchise i went nine grand on the Jurassic park tooth the Jurassic park tooth closed at eight thousand dollars with the big 8 8800 i win next go home chief brody's eyeglasses closed it slightly more 9500 dollars without the big and minus the 500 and with another item i was spot on gary's close to a point here because it's only 500 away from the bed but andy griffith show badge went for 10 000 dollars genie grad with another two-point round wow i'm gonna go work at saw the beast very knotted up these uh these items all within a few grand of each other gary's also going to get a point because he was 500 away i got a point all right let's go to butterfield bottom i'm on the board joss is the highest grossing film of all time until star wars came out so yeah when did it come out 76 i was curious about the summer blockbuster part i knew it did well i think it was 76 and star wars were 78 75 and 77 june 75 uh for joss yeah now you can look into it but i just have a recollection of it being like the summer blockbuster i think that's what it ushered in but go ahead jake lamada's boxing gloves from raging bull along with the production shooting script it's over how about the guitar stevens billberg's director's chair back from jurassic park or wolverine's claws oh from x2 x-men united x2 is the best one nerds the nerds now i'm the gloves that has seen on film like used for the for the shooting of the film dammit that should be in there with the script yeah but damn nerds well they're gonna ruin they won't rest till they ruin everything zuck wants that chair here we go you know raging bull is just really one of the best films of all time i mean it is so iconic and so great and just the black and the white part of it and then of course the later with putting on the weight and doing the whole the whole thing also kind of found respect later you know what i mean like wasn't hailed as a as the great film that later became recognized as right did it win academy i don't know i don't believe it did um no ordinary people one great great movie though you're not a fan no it's fine it's no it's not raging bull uh it's fine it's not raging bull all right everyone locked in yeah uh bram how say you i'm gonna say the gloves because i don't don't underestimate the film nerd aspect this is a black and white you know scorsese movie from the glory days this is a lover loved by film nerds i said the gloves for 11 000 mm-hmm gary how say you i'll take the wolverine whatever you want what a clause what what a man to him we're talking about the pistachio openers can openers there uh $8500 i i thought about something you said before adam about but what's it really made out of you know at the end of the day is it pvc pipe and i kind of thought that about the clause so i went gloves 35 000 wow i like your heads that except for i went 40 grand on the clause the gloves fetched the least wow still nerd still earning a point for bald brine at 11 000 dollars needed that badly wow speilberg's director's chair back that one more than the clubs fetched much more 18 000 this is all nerd driven yeah that's all nerd driven it's a Jurassic nerd versus the greatest film all time leaving us over fondle there's desk leaving us with the wolverine clause which by the way are made of stainless steel oh there you go going for 20 000 dollars each which makes a combined total 40 000 without the big you gotta continue reading Dawson when you just stop people think you're not uses people all right let's declare winner because uh mr. sunis has himself a heartish out here jenna wins all right i love those two words together thank you thank you and a handshake from gary sunis i won today until the next auction

the news right after this it's time to check adam's voicemail just passed in delaware on i-95 the overhead amber sign it was a two-parter it said have a need for speed question mark then it said you're not maverick slow down also currently going 54 in a 65 love the show you can leave us a message at 888-634-1744 it is bizarre sort of in my gary sinise frame of mind of like what's going on in north korea and almost 2020 i feel the same way about these signs all around the country it's a huge big electronic signs you can communicate with literally everyone who pays taxes because look if you're at home and you're shut in in your the unabomber then you're not on the freeway but everyone else out who pays taxes is somewhere on these highways and byways going to work or dropping the kids off or whatever it is you have a way to communicate with all of them in every city and there's a group of sort of unfunny folks who sit around and go uh well let's see can we rhyme grinch with unsafe lane change well this is the holidays well listen ted i'm sorry you're jewish but i'm still familiar with the what percentage of the motor and they're just trying to figure out what rhymes with airbag or what rhymes with seatbelt or what rhymes with again if it's an easter thing what rhymes with bunny and it's the i who signed off on this why don't why don't we put real super pertinent information like become an organ donor put check on your neck going into a renew your license check the owner the organ donor box or whatever a mentor child anything anything other than what rhymes with grinch they're all like the dumbest like the force won't be with you if you speed you know like it's what what is that like we're just out of problems or there's nothing we want people to do other than something with use your signals yeah the timely and topical top gun reference if you guys it's always top of mind yeah you're not maverick exapata like if you look up those things just throughout the out the country it's a group of people you wouldn't talk to if you're at a party like if this group was at a fucking party you wouldn't go near the fondue pot if they're all like hanging around and then they just try to think of weird little kind of sort of sniglets or something for motorists that don't give a fuck it's weird again i think you would like people to hit that hit that box trust the force but buckle up okay but but what about being an organ donor yeah or what about if it steers it clears a classic for a reason something tried and drew all right spanish movie references you want to hear about joz real quick yes uh jo from wikipedia joz was released uh june 20th 1975 um quoting here joz also played a major part in establishing summer as the prime season for the release of studio's biggest box office contenders their intended blockbusters winter had long been the time when most hope four hits were distributed while summer was largely reserved for dumping films thought likely to be poor performers the idea being i think back in the day oh there's too much to compete with in summer people outside they're going to the beach there's stuff to do winter whether it's cold people want to get inside you know want to get inside get away from now now they serve booze and gourmet food and we're all fat we're like fuck we're not going to the beach but yes it was my recollection was it sort of started this summer blockbuster this half of the show uh brought to you by uh packale versus brohner this saturday nine o'clock show time simply safe go to simply safe dot com slash and and guide go dot com all right brian's got announcement i have uh something to tell you first and uh will play a another snippet of uh me and adam ray up on stage join adam coroll's

tell you this about strip clubs and and i i feel the same way no one is there one called dr drew i'd go there i mean too yeah won't you go fast dudes yeah yeah you'd have like the uh businessman's buffet and pap smears in the champagne room it'd be like a medical sort of flavor to it you know ever gotten a genuine pony all right oh yeah we have a whole medical theme like when the order of cocktail and you get uh two olives the guy the guy reaches into the olive container uses a speculum to get him out so there you go thank you went to in there thank you all right dr drew now here's something i respect about dr drew i said to dr drew once what's what's up with you not going to strip clubs because i love going to strip clubs and he didn't like going to strip clubs and he gave a very satisfying answer to me which is i am so fucking horny all the time i am like a fucking caged leper just you know we know they pace like you're so horny you have to pace he said i can't go to a strip club because i may like literally jump up on the stage and fuck someone's here i added the ear part but i was gonna say the fucking the ear seems like a reason not to go i am saying that is an acceptable reason like you're too fucking horny and you're too passionate yeah like you walk into the strip club already masturbating that's right that's gonna turn some people off right good luck

challenge where dumb kids are eating detergent basically uh i'd love to judge i would have definitely done all of the things they'd asked me to do when i was 14 yeah the other one was a fire challenge would you have set yourself on dude you would have been a youtube celebrity you're at you you're you were born in the long era that's right yeah johnny north hollywood i i would have well i'm trying to i i'll tell you that uh just quickly i'm not giving it any pre-thought but a a short list of like stupid shit and and i think most of it would would go all right well then he would have eaten the tide pods i obviously went to a coinop giant laundry to coinop laundry thing and locked myself in there and just spun around the metal fins in there and hot air blowing everywhere the water out of one's ass into the into the fast food you know uh window that's a big one that other than a sweet video jumping off of building i was a part of that i was a wheel man out of an ass crew this is your jackass crew oh yeah yeah filling up with a hose animating on a animating on a on an employee at jack in the box um getting stuck with a hot uh flaming hot marshmallow well that's true you guys haven't lived you guys really got a picture what a marshmallow is like when it's completely engulfed in flames like it makes noise and having that then it's one thing if you blew it off and cool it off and maybe touch it to your cheek but while it was still on fire stuck to my face i have jumped off many uh a three-story condo roof into pools and not only that pools that weren't in that condo neighboring buildings so you had to clear a fence and a little bit of uh some concrete to get to the pool done many flips off of many roofs into many pools and i've jumped many bmx bikes into pools i have set up ramps at one end of the like the shallow end of the pool and done the done the long so yeah i would have been down with most of this stuff yeah you would have been a youtube star for sure but they're upping the ante not only do they not want those challenge videos the company's now extended its policy banning harmful and dangerous content to pranks with a perceived danger of serious physical injury so you can't have people believing they're in a drive by shooting or they're being in a home invasion uh the site said it's currently working to remove videos that violate the new guidelines did right drove cold water on a motorcycle without touching the handlebars easy that was one of the sounds good very easy to do move i guess on the right bike um and uh i have once in a while people say um oh come on first off i would never in 100 million lifetimes say i i started up at mall hauling on my honda 404 put my hands on the tank never touched the bars until i crossed more park went all the way down cold water by leaning the bike or in the footbreak and putting it neutral i would never say that if i grabbed the bar two times it would be null and void i'd have to either not say anything or go back up to the top and try again try it again it's insane when people go like oh come on like well you're essentially saying i'm lying but i would never bring it up like i would just i would wait for something else i would not bring that up i'd go if i did bring it up i'd go i tried to go down cold water on a motorcycle without touching the bars once and i had to grab it halfway through that's what the story would be not i never touched the bars it was a big deal to not touch the bars uh but again more easily done but the idea that i was trying to entertain myself on a motorcycle like the idea that i was coming over cold water canyon from it was boring la and i was like i got to see if i can not touch the handle bars of this motorcycle suggests that i had whatever that was that would eat the tide pod yep what am i oh i think it's called shitty student syndrome sss yes one of my favorite videos that i i would imagine they'd take down one of those starts with a c-brain but go ahead sorry about that you're right um when it says you can't have people think they're in perceived danger one of my favorite prank videos of all time is you know when a truck is hauling another truck backwards that's right and you speed up i don't know if you can actually find this yeah the the husband or the boyfriend or whatever is driving and his wife is fast asleep i think and he wakes up oh my god we're gonna crash and all she sees is this truck coming at her but it's just being hauled the same direction and it is it's pretty good uh so yeah i said hilarious yeah let's see that one of those very funny yeah and listen let's not i don't know let's not remove that part of life where there is no harm none we all enjoy the huge black massive athlete right who gets scared when the monster jumps out of the cake right it's it's good right it's good clean fun here's one of the examples i know there's more than one but here's here's a popular one so they're woman's asleep oh shit oh no it's just going backwards it's a big peter built semi truck so pissed from backwards there's a lot of that you think you have a head on collision yeah it's good stuff hey my deal is and my uh my my posse my crew the deal was always this you want to talk about toxic masculinity oh man you fall asleep in front of in front of human beings that are awake anything that happens after that to you is all your fault it's all your fault i we'll put a we'll we'll duct tape you to the to the recliner you're on we'll draw huge dicks on your forehead with a sharpie whatever it is you you fall asleep or pass out at a time earlier than you're supposed to go to sleep or pass out in front of people that aren't asleep in all that that's all it's on you wow it's on you if the sun is shining and your husband's driving and you're sleeping then you get whatever you get jenny you must have experienced this in new orleans on your back to that party when you went recently yeah exactly i would love you guys to teach a class on how to remain friends after something like this why you remain friends is you know when mike august passes out at jimmy's house watching football and cousin sal goes full yokezuna by dropping his pants to his bare ass and dropping it on his face mike blames himself yeah you have to turn it like why did you go to why did you fall asleep while we were watching football i got no one to blame myself and also how are you ever going to learn a lesson about falling asleep about being tired if we let you sleep we let you wake up in eight hours when you're the greatest part about that is mike never even got mad mike's tooth was knocked off his his his camp was knocked off because at the last moment when he heard yokezuna tried to block himself with his wristwatch and he has a Rolex with the metal wristwatch and the metal wristwatch got pushed into his face and he still wasn't mad you want to know why why mike august's dad is a football coach he grew up with a dad as a football coach he grew up playing football and he's not a pussy so that's why you never hear mike august go it's so cold it's so early so early we went to bed like they you know went to bed at 1 a.m and we met at the lobby at 5 30 and i you never never hear word you just he's always just sitting in the lobby and goes i print out the boarding passes yep one's a coffee mic now i'm good that's it you know what one of his big responses is i just realized this if you make a comment like if you're not complaining you're just you say like oh my god so cold in here or something whatever so cold outside you go nah i love him for that and i fucking hate pussies god do i hate pussies we don't we don't do enough pussy shaming we don't do enough pussy saying we do all the oh toxic masculinity that's gotta end but we don't do enough like hey fucking puss shut up you're ruining this country garrison he hates you all right we don't need the yoka zuna clip thanks well uh we talked a little bit about mary carrey versus mariah carrey yesterday and who's in the news today mariah she is suing a former assistant christie canion mariah carrey suing jenna jay with him uh no personal assistant she says trying to blackmail her with embarrassing videos according to tmz mariah says lianna azarian wouldn't you assume that all videos of mariah carrey that's where she wasn't willing to perform knowing like oh look she can do panel on cobert but i would assume almost every video of her that wasn't supposed to be taken is horrible yeah yes 100 percent it was her bitching at somebody or yelling at somebody or doing something insanely narcissistic right i imagine everything is bad i imagine the best case scenario is something that we would think of no big deal like walk out of the bedroom without makeup that she would freak out about getting out you know what i mean right that's the best case so my my my my theory in life is you could follow gary senes around with a secret videotape recorder and you wouldn't find him kicking any puppies or doing anything that he was looked bad right i feel like almost everything mariah carrey does is bad well we'll just skip to the good part uh according to the lawsuit azarian secretly filmed mariah's personal intimate activities and showed them to her friends oh finally my worlds are gonna collide with mariah carrey and mariah carrey and yeah after she was fired she allegedly threatened to leak the videos if she wasn't paid eight million dollars mariah is seeking unspecified damages and wants the videos returned um by the way this is not chump change guess how much she was paid a year in 2015 uh to be mariah carrey's personal assistant oh okay well first off add to my list of things to do like jumping into a body water with a knife in my mouth having a cape removed for me hands registered um suing someone for an unspecified amount oh i'd like i'd like people to know that i i shall sue and you'll never know how much yeah you'll never know let your imagination go wow yeah she got fired yeah apparently she got fired because she used mariah's credit card and would buy things for herself but guess how much she was paid uh a year i'm gonna guess a lot because mariah carries from the old the the old dirt days where they had stupid money for people who you know made made music so a hundred hundred and ten k a year a year okay i'm guessing a lot because you keep asking how much i got paid forty two dollars um so yeah well if you're the way you're couching it what do you think we need to be surprised by how much it is and uh 150 wow i didn't couch it well enough 327 thousand dollars to be mariah carrey's assistant there must be something about that that we don't know including like you know flights you know i made you flew on the private jet and that's worth 10 000 you know and that kind of thing maybe who has map on the latest gave us two week notice who set the price i mean who said this is how much i got paid um mariah's lawsuit says is arian was hired as a personal assistant in 2015 and was paid 327 oh i'll bet there's some value you know what i mean added she was given concert tickets maybe maybe 500 bucks each okay so get to that number that's a lot of freebies no that that's that's a lot well at least your car so yeah never underestimate the law and mark garregas going i have a forensic accountant guy i can hire him and that guy will fucking spit out numbers that you've never even dreamt of in terms of what you owe or what they owe you or whatever it is like if somebody says look if if some just sort of neutral player comes in and goes uh i work for the h and r block that you got her taxes done with and here's what the papers that she gave to me or we filled out last year i would believe that person if you go the oh she's been well compensated to yes that is every meal every flight that is full read that is prices right sailboat catamaran prices on everything to jack that number up as high as humanly possible yeah because i bet if you talked to her she'd tell you she made 72 000 last year in in salary and then all this i leased her out of the alexa's suv technically doing her bidding backstage is that backstage passes that's right all right let me tell you quickly about uh pacquiao versus broner now fights coming up clash of speed and a clash of styles to a boxing's most explosive punches go toe to toe for the welterweight title these guys are all action pacquiao you all know broner if you're a fight guy you definitely know what i don't think he's from no no i think of somebody else sorry he's uh he's the 147 pound champ former champ broner so looking to begin his second reign as a welterweight title is pacquiao fourth reign is the 147 pound champ uh pacquiao only eight division world champion ever and he's returning to the us to fight broner get ready for explosive action bell to bell toe to toe saturday january 19th 9 p.m eastern 6 p.m pacific time live on pay per view that's pacquiao and broner all right what else you got well bob costas is officially done with nbc after 40 years of hosting the network's coverage of essentially every major sporting event in america according to fox news while the move was quietly announced and received very little attention it's hardly a surprise to sports fans who have seen him less and less over the last few years uh industry watch dogs have predicted that costas's exit from nbc would come sooner than later after his roles on several prominent events were reduced the biggest one i would imagine he stepped down from his role as prime time host of nbc's olympics coverage for example he did that for he did that 11 times starting in 92 uh i can't i don't have a real read on costas like i other than very professional very good at his job kind of a ryan sea cresty asking that he very likable does a very good job keeps everything running i i don't know i can kind of want to have a beer with him or not yeah that's that that might be a bridge too far but he seems to have thoughts and opinions that maybe a ryan sea crest doesn't have like secrets the ultimate vanilla almost you know flavorless yogurt where at least costas has some points of view it had an interview show you know what i mean yeah no i i agree with that to your point what happened i think it was um super bowl coverage where he got uh a bit of a backlash for talking about football players and concussions at a time where you are not really supposed to do that good i mean i like him i'm just trying to kind of figure out like if i came over on football sunday and we cracked a beer whether we'd really like him or we'd be a little disappointed or whatever the one thing i always heard about him which i always liked was he just he lives in st louis because he can get to either coast in three hours and it just lives in the middle and i've always sort of liked that thinking like i'm always going to be i can get to new york in two and a half hours that kind of thing i just always thought that was a smart move for a guy who really didn't need to live anywhere you could live in st louis and get anywhere he needed to get the one thing i'm afraid of and i'm not insinuating anything i'm just saying in my head growing up i always got bob costas and matt lauer mixed up and i hope he's not leaving for the same reasons but i'm not saying he is i'm just saying in my head they were a bit interchangeable growing up well as the me too movement has taught us nobody is beyond this i mean when you get kneel the grass tyson mixed in although let's be honest i don't know about that half the shit you know when you go well if kneel the grass tyson and um al franken could do it then anyway yeah but let's not what did they do again like i it's it's unclear what they what they did um but everyone is a potential candidate for this it falls between you know everybody right yeah well changing gears here the song africa by todo has become a permanent part of the continent of africa and the song's making me angry oh this is gonna you're gonna hate this story no i'm angry because when i find the reboot of this song maxi pata is it weezer it's weezer yeah they they really and then they did rosanna recently yes okay so i don't like we i don't like the members of weezer because they're fucking nerd assholes but anyway other than that their delights of fucking there's nothing worse than angry nerds because listen puss fucking cheer up would you okay i walk into my other shop and they have it on k-rock and they're playing todo's africa except for it's weezer's africa except for it's the same song why does this africa sound not good and look as a guy who doesn't like sampling and doesn't like using other people's shit when you're creating art i it's like oh i'm doing a painting but i'm using part of apacaso i'm not doing the whole thing like i paid by numbers i don't know the cover i don't like it with anything i just don't like it with anything it flies in the face of art understood now if you want to go as i made it clear you want to go cat steven sam cook another saturday night i'm gonna do a calypso a reinterpretation yeah is this the new one or the old one this is a new one because you've added a day of their head and added a drum they added a little bit of reverb on the snare it's a tribute to jeff bicarreau and it has no lucifer in it so in my world you shouldn't be doing remakes but i will give you two exceptions i will give you the cat steven's calypso version of another saturday night put your own fucking flavor on it or black man born in mississippi sonny uh son sorry of a sharecropper never would have heard the song wrap it up i'll take it by the fabulous thunderbirds unless they remade right wrap it up i'll take it 23 years later we wouldn't know that song the guy was too poor too black and too upper underrepresented the gray area here though boss are you about to say why they made this no no no i'm gonna say the gray area is paul peña did a fantastic song called jet airliner nobody would have ever known that song unless for stevie gitarr miller oh damn it you bit my heart snake damn it dawson no but i like your finger you put you pull a song from the vault you know what i mean like a song that is not no this is ridiculous this is a huge hit now i will tell you the reason they did this it'll be semi satisfying and that's all i can hope for they got trolled i guess enough times by this girl this hardcore weezer fan people basically started this online campaign please weezer remake totos africa over and over again so they kind of they bit and they did it sort of not as a joke i mean they're obviously trying who is this impassant yeah this girl in ohio they did that then i think they did rosanna as well but they were asked to it became the sort of online trolley campaign but i still agree with you and it's in and todo has a far superior version but i don't it doesn't seem like they would have done it without being prodded all right it's all like a joke and then todo covered a weezer song in response all right i'll uh take my foot off the vitriol accelerator pellet pedal just a little bit here but still we don't need it doesn't need to be played on k-rock because we have the original the original which sounds the same but better yeah so back to uh why we're even talking about todo hold on a second yeah are you guys with me in that i i like i want to live in a world where the fabulous thunderbirds when they do wrap it up find out who was originally by maxapata from and there's been a lot of these songs that we've never heard of or heard the original one of but at the very top during the little instrumental part i want to hear the name of the dude that did it like rappers do wait isn't they mean it's like the guitar yeah isn't jimby vaughn no no it's a remake uh you know one of the one of the reasons why i love the black crows so much is every single time they played hard to handle every single time no matter where they were it always started with the preemptive here's an odys redding number we do right right perfect example wasn't a big hit with odys redding but a big hit with black crows well and that's that's been something i thought should be a rule forever a band that no one's heard of can't get famous off of a cover i don't like it oh my god the fucking smooth criminal fucking it's an abomination fuck you fucking hacks i don't even know what that band is but it's just like just fucking taking a michael jackson song and just doing it screaming it it's how fuck you jesus christ wrap it up as a sam and david song oh sam and david that's right two brothers that were passed over sam and david had some hits yeah so but uh people don't attribute wrap it up to sam and david they attribute it to and also it's cool because if it could start and go you know shout out to sam and david for this one and then you could go into it right if the guy's name is herald obama witz it's a little bumpy at the beginning you know what i mean well herald's like put his name on it whether or not he wrote it tip of the cat to herald stephan obama witz jr for uh shit the song started was this in a car like national car campaign like it was a like a ford something or toyota i'm sure makes sense with the ford with the thunderbirds you know i at some point there was like a you know sales event you know i'm sure of it was tough enough a uh was that a cover i'm not i'm not aware of it but i don't think it was but i don't know but we would know if they'd yelled out the dude's name at the beginning all right uh let's see yeah tough enough is an original and then i'll wrap it up with a toyota so there it is what i guess they didn't think people did the thunderbird part matter to them all right let me tell you about the simply safe almost half of us make the new year's resolution get healthier save money get organized oh well i'll start with great intentions and then a month later i set a sluff off a little one resolution worth

it's a great company started by guys went to harvard had some friends get ripped off then the security company was going to come in there rip them off some more and he said you know i'll do my own thing go to simply safe dot com slash adam get started easy fast and easy it's simply safe dot com slash adam all right you know what else well just to put a bow on this the this nemy bian artist has set up a desert installation run by solar energy that continuously plays africa on a loop the tono version yep he says he wanted to pay the song the ultimate homage and physically exhibit africa in africa still he admits that not everyone appreciates it he says some of his countrymen love it and some say it's the worst sound installation ever and he takes that as a compliment so it sits in the middle of the desert just literally in the sand and speakers solar power you're doing some you know sojourn across the desert and you're starting to hallucinate and you come up on this and here's what it sounds like in the desert just sitting alone six speakers i don't mind this wouldn't you think you were hallucinating i tried this experiment with ted new jen stranglehold in detroit several years ago and had it didn't make it the weekend didn't last long speakers i went with top of the high end speakers amps subwoofers i went fucking high end all the way i don't know when they were stolen exactly all i know is that it was set up monday it was it wasn't there on tuesday when i got there the fun i got there at eight a m oh damn so overnight fever shortly after it was set up it didn't work i don't know if i don't maybe i picked the wrong ted new jen song i guess the song you're making a statement it could have been that i know the way you know i will never know i don't have a rear view mirror so i can't look back but uh i should have picked another song other than stranglehold yeah all right that was the reason he's a motor city madman i thought they'd appreciate local pride by the way you want to critique his lyrics the name madman is in his title what do you want what do you want out of the guy all right well if you're looking to broaden your horizons but cheaply there is a great way to do it as of right now you can buy a house on southern italy's beautiful island of sicily for less than the cost of a cup of coffee cnn reports that the hilltop town of sambuca with views over the mediterranean island and nearby beaches has placed dozens of houses on sale for a dollar what's the catch there there's a small catch but i wouldn't even call it a catch i would say it's your responsibility uh the deal is aimed at reviving the community at like many rural spots in italy has suffered from depopulation people want to move to bigger cities and get out of their one cow town the catch is the new owners must commit to refurbishing the house that they buy uh if it's they're not too big it's 40 to 150 square meter houses and you have to do it within three years and it's going to cost about 17 grand that's the big catch you're also going to need to cough up a security deposit of about six grand that'll be returned to you once the the restyle is complete uh but buyers won't be disappointed as the promotions boast sambuca as a silent and peaceful and idyllic retreat this is a good deal it's good excuse to drink sambuca because i'm in i'm obliged by the laws of the land one in sambuca i'd like to buy that italian villa for a dollar and then run into somebody else and go what did you buy for a dollar and they'd go well i don't want to praise myself but i got toothpaste a big i go to the dollar and i don't want to travel ones either you know this was a this was a five-houncer family okay i'm still using it i bought it in the summer sweet also got myself a mcdonald's cup of coffee before eight a.m obviously it goes up after that but you get there early score what'd you get for a dollar you're standing in it bitch all right let's do one more all right well i guess on that note uh this is a good reason to book a trip this spring a survey and this this may be a little help you part with that dollar for the villa a survey of seniors reveal that one of their biggest regrets over their entire life was not traveling enough the british airways survey found that 20 of those over 65 years old said they regretted not traveling enough and a whopping 63 of women and 48 of men said they've never even owned a passport because they didn't think they'd be able to afford to go anywhere that they've ever wanted to go it's bound it's up there with you know not stretching enough not hugging your kids and like there's never even if you do it's a catch 22 because if you are like brian and you love travel and have done a lot of travel on your deathbed it's still not going to be enough i was going to say no or somebody who loved too much travel yeah i have 10 pole newman race cars not enough because in my world i need another pole newman race car um in my dad's world i said i remember i i told you guys this i think but i i told him like the other week i was like we're going to why and he's like okay and i'm like you're been a wine he's like nope and i'm like and he's getting ready to go to the retirement villa and i'm like oh you'll never you're never going to why you you just spent your entire life on the west coast pretty much and you've never you never went to why and but the difference is i don't think my dad has thoughts about it yeah most people most people have regrets or have have thoughts about but i'll feel sorry for him for him by going why why why not now it costs money and it takes time and and all the all the stuff of life but i think we can all agree that again stretching exercising hugging eating right telling your kids you love them whatever it is laughing travel there's a laundry list and travel will always land somewhere somewhere in there tomorrow really what they're i think what they're saying when they're saying travel they mean experiences more yeah no one's in trouble work you know i mean more sales calls more experience but but if in you don't have the money to book a hotel or an airline flight what you're kind of saying with travel is i need to experience things that are outside of my realm my home and my neighborhood and there probably ways you could do that yeah that don't involve getting on an airplane you drive the grand canyon from here you know i mean and not even the grand canyon i mean you can literally just got a josh would you read how many museums are around you that you've never set foot in or or hotels historic hotels that you could have tea in the lobby of that are less than three miles from your house that you just never would walk into go do that um can i tell you an example this i i don't know if it's a humble brag because we've all traveled a lot but go to a mexican market and go holy shit they sell every part of the pig go to alvara yeah go down there i was thinking of you know what what's my next big out of the country trip and we i think we've all been a lot of places and um i don't know israel and raritanga and belgium and italy and corolla and c take
