Adam's guest today, Dolph Lundgren. Plus the news with me, Mike Dawson, and now Adam Corolla. Yeah, get it on. Got to get on a choice to get him. Man, get it on Dolph Lundgren. Back in the studio. He's got a book. Fights worth fighting. Finding strength and struggle. And that's coming out real soon, September 22nd. But pre-order, you always pre-order, it'll arrive when the book comes out. That's what I found from writing books. And also the documentary. Dolph Unbreakable, which should be out somewhere around early October. And it's wherever you find finer documentaries everywhere. I love a documentary. Dolph's story is great, interesting, can be heartbreaking. Lots of highs and lows. But a pretty, pretty well-lived life. I would say. Would you trade it? No. Nice to be around him. No, I wouldn't actually. You know, when you're in the midst of it, sometimes you feel that way. But no, I think we were given our various lives for a reason. And we have to fulfill that reason, you know, purpose. I know you had a pretty tough upbringing. Also, I think you are a person or I almost want to say poster child. But when we see people on TV or in movies at the height of their powers, looking amazing, you just, we look at these people and they go, we think, not a care in the world, you know, just touched by the hand of God, you know, everywhere you drive, the light just turn green and you just blow right through. But they don't think about the kind of childhood that you had growing up, right? No, you're right. I'm the same. It's hard to see behind the mask, you know, of a star. But obviously, the really, really famous people like Elvis Presley or Michael Jackson or, you know, Marilyn Monroe, I mean, that you could, you know, obviously, he can also be quite destructive. You know, I think that, in my case, it's been a good ride. I, you know, I've had been very lucky. I started out in little Sweden. My dad was very abusive towards me, my mom. So I had that kind of trauma, which a lot of guys, you know, end up in contact sports, have football, boxing, Navy SEALs, you know, all those dudes, military police force. I had the same thing and it drove me to become a fighter and later an actor. You know, it's, it's kind of interesting as I was looking at your story. And we talked about it in the book. But you know, when I was watching the Schwarzenegger documentary, I was kind of like, I think there's a lot of parallels here. Arnold was, you know, ex-older, did it earlier, but grew up in a small place. There was no celebrity. Had abusive dad, some alcoholism there, used his physicalness to get out as a way out. You know, came here, had an accent. Probably no one thought of him as being an actor. He was all, but he was the muscle sky. I mean, in a way, there's a lot of parallels there, isn't there? Yeah, there are. Yeah, from a small country, Austria, Sweden, they're both small. He had a tough dad. I believe he was a police officer. My dad was an officer. But I think one difference was that I think Arnold was very determined early to, he already knew he wanted to be a bodybuilding champion. He wanted to be a movie star. He had that already in the works. And I didn't. I just wanted to get the hell out of Sweden. And I was pretty smart in school. I was good at science and engineering. So I got scholarships that way. And my martial arts, my physicality was something I did, kind of like a hobby. And that, then of course, dad became my job after I moved to America. And people wanted to kind of monetize that that skill. I didn't. Yeah, I'm very envious of people who know what they want to do early. And everyone should be envious of those people. And I'll tell you how, you should know, because like, I'll run into comedians. And they'll go, oh man, when I was 14, my mom was driving me to the club, and she'd wait out in the car. I knew what I wanted. I want to do stand-up in the seventh grade. And I've been doing it ever since that. And I go, I'm so envious because I wandered around for a long time. You know, it's taken crappy jobs, sort of had hopes or dreams, but not really a plan. And these people, it doesn't always, it's not a guarantee. It's going to work out. But the worst thing you can do is talk to someone, you're a talk to a guy, and he's like in his 30s or 40s, and you go, what do you want to do? What do you like? And they go, I don't know, like video games. I'm like, no, what's the passion? And they go, I don't really have a patent. And I always feel the most sorry for those people. Well, I think, you know, we don't, we don't pick our parents. We don't really choose our fate, but I was a bit like you then. I think something you would call a "searcher," somebody who's trying to find where they fit in life, which is a different path than, let's say, Schwarzenegger, probably knew already. He's very, and I'm envious as well of people like Tiger Woods. When you start playing golf, when he was three, two and a half. It's on like the tonight show playing golf at five. So then, you know, you become very good at it. But you also had a physicality, and you had a striking physicality, and that's a different element. Like sometimes when a woman is very beautiful, she'll just get pushed into certain things, you know, and it may not be stuff she necessarily even wants to do, but when enough people come on, you got to do this, you know, you got to get in the bathing suit, you know. They end up doing it a lot of the time because they're being encouraged to do it. Now, most guys, most guys, the physicality parts kind of neither here nor there. Are they funny or they're good actor or they're good engineer, you know, whatever it is. You had a tall blonde, you know, very, a very defined look. And so you probably, we're having people trying to push you in a direction that may not have been, been a direction wanted to go. You're right. Yes. People, you know, I was, I had a striking look, which I wasn't aware of, and I ended up doing some modeling in Australia and New York, and ended up, you know, I liked acting because acting was a way for me to escape and express something I had, like some kind of pain I had from my childhood. But yeah, people were, finally, somebody said, "Hey, man, you know, you're a karate champion. You're a big guy. You should try to be in the movies, you know, and, and I, yeah, I had a calling to do something different. I didn't want to be a chemical engineer for the rest of my life, like my dad or my brother. I wanted to go on an adventure and movies felt like an adventure, you know. Does your brother look like you? Not, well, a little bit. He's very tall, and he was quite good looking when he was younger. My, my dad was very good looking. You look like your dad. Yeah, quite a bit. He was a dog here, though. Yeah, but when you look at the picture in the book of you at age three or four or something, and him, his face at age 34 looks like Dolph's face. Yeah, a little bit. You're right. Yeah, he did. He was a handsome guy. I mean, a lot, I remember some of the, my, the girls in school used to kind of swarm when he showed up because he always wore his suit. He was a good looking guy, probably, like you said, in his 30s, then, you know, I were like 15 or so, 30, I guess. That guy, the guy wore the suit, and the guy was the chemical engineer at that degree of education in a place in Sweden, doesn't seem like the abusive dad type, you know, you think, oh, this guy's a truck driver and he lives, you know, in the barrio and he just, he has a, he dropped out of the ninth grade. Yeah, he drinks a few beers and he takes it out. I could think, you don't think Swedish chemical engineer with striking matinee idle, good looks, like that doesn't feel like the abusive dad archetype. You're right. That's why there is nowhere to go for help because nobody in school would have believed me. And, you know, This is a 60 so there's no like hotline you can call on your cell phone. I mean
No, I think he had a very tough upbringing. He was from the northern part of Sweden. He grew up during the depression when people started to death, literally, and I'm sure he got beaten a lot when he was a kid. His dad was a hard drinker and a really tough guy. So he kind of came full circle. But you know, I loved a lot of things he did and I looked up to him and I still, I mean, I forgave him and he had his own, his own problems, like somebody said, we're victims of victims, you know, you can't blame them either, you know. Yeah, although I think we discussed this before. Oh, yeah. I brought up some memories. Nothing. Nothing. Well, what I'm saying is is you would never treat your kids that way. And I don't always buy the, it's all he knew or he grew up that way. I sort of disagree with that. Most of the people, I'll tell you, a lot of people are non-smokers or non-drinkers because they're dad drank and smoked and they hated it and they saw what it did to him. And they remember when he was drunk and he'd get into fights with mom. So they go, I've never drank. Meaning you can do a version of life where you go, I'm not doing what that guy did. And you did it, I'm very different than my family was, you know, with me, with my kids. But we always do that, his dad beat on him so that's kind of all he knew. I think in a weird way we're being too generous. I think they should know and they have a choice and they can do that. Yeah. No, that's true. Everybody has a choice and he wasn't strong enough to break the cycle of violence. He wasn't strong enough to do that and he wasn't, didn't have it in him, you know. I mean, I had to go through a lot of, a lot of therapy. Well, I didn't have it in, I didn't have the violence against other people in me. I kind of got to express it in martial arts, but I never, I've never been violent towards women or anything like that, kids. But maybe if I, if I didn't have a certain mindset, it could have, maybe it could have triggered it somehow. But he, I don't think he, he would never, he never admitted that he had a problem, you know. And so you come to the States when you're 19, 18, 19, and you're going to MIT and you're, now it's in Massachusetts and not too far from New York though, so you must find your way to New York pretty quickly, right? Yeah, actually, I came, I met this singer in Australia, Grace Jones, who was on the tour, she lived in New York. So I had some time off and I went to New York, I had six months off before starting MIT. I went to New York and I ended up, you know, doing some modeling. I went to 54 with her, I ran into Andy Warhol, Michael Jackson, a bunch of people and my life was kind of thrown into his spin. Studio 54 with Grace Jones. Yeah. That's in 19, right here. Needed to. That's incredible. Because, you know, eight Grace Jones is very recognizable because she was so tall and striking. Yes. And then you were tall and striking and, you know, together, that's a combination. And they're visually, I mean, what I'm saying is, is Tom Cruise is, you know, five foot eight or nine or whatever, and he likes to ride motorcycles. He can put a full face motorcycle, helmet on and a leather jacket on and get it to Coddy and go wherever he wants and no one's going to bother him. But Kareem Abdul-Jabbar can't do that and neither can shack, you know, they can't hide anywhere. They'll get, they get stopped everywhere, right? So you and Grace Jones, you can't, no one's going to miss you. I don't know if she's six foot tall or I don't know how tall she's tall and she's in a weird way, a carbon negative of you. She's like sort of the black version of you, she's very striking, very angular. And so if you two are going in to Studio 54, even though Andy Warhol is going to be there, you know, Liza Manelli is going to be there. You guys are the ones that people are going to come up to. I think Grace Jones, especially because she was a celebrity, not a mega celebrity, but in that world, she was cooler than Michael Jackson. I think. What do you think? I agree with you, yes, she, she would, she grew up in Jamaica and then she ended up in Paris modeling and so she got that style from Yves Saint Laurent. These guys, you know, she worked with all the good photographers, Helmut Newton. And so she had an incredible style. So I think the combination of the fact that she was, you know, African-Americans, both fluent French, wearing fashion gear from Yves Saint Laurent. And then of course, with me behind her, it was quite an entourage. It was people, people, it would stop people, yeah, it was, it was an interesting time. Well, so you'd go to Studio 54 and you'd see Andy Warhol and it's Michael Jackson, and I don't know, Brooke Shields, I don't know who all, you'd see everyone, right? Yeah. Bianca Jagger and yeah, they were all there, like those guys back in those days and a lot of a lot of fashion. People like Johnny Versace and he was, he was new, he just moved over from Italy. He made me this leather suit that I would wear on my motorcycle, which later grace burned because we had a fight and she threw it in the fireplace. Too bad. It wouldn't be worth a lot today. I would have liked to see it. She burned your Versace custom leather suit in a fireplace. You got it. Ah, man, I love it. You know, it's like John Crawford movie. There was a story and they got to look it up, Dawson. I think it was a wide receiver for Atlanta, maybe it was Andre Ryzen and he was dating left dye Lopez from, I don't know, salt whatever, man, TLC and she went to go burn his stuff in the bathtub. Oh, okay. Now, I don't know if Grace burned your shit in the fireplace or the bathtub or the porch. It was in the fireplace, I think, but I was actually at Stallone's house at the time, getting ready for Rocky IV and I just got the call from the maid. - So, do you have to come home? - Well, she was gonna go burn, was it Andre Ryzen? Was gonna burn it. - This was. - And the bathtub. - Oh yeah. - Except for the bathtub was made out of fiberglass and the house burnt down. - Okay. - So you got off easy. - I did. - I did. - I did. - I did, through the mansion, burn the whole thing down. Yeah. - Okay. - That's good to know. - Oh, listen, you're not on the pantheon of celebrities that have their shit burned by their woman. - You're way down. You could have lost your whole house in Atlanta. So you got off easy. - All right, man. - So, thank you. - I want to let you feel better about yourself. So she built, she took the Versace suit. And why did she do that? - Well, you know, she came out to New York from New York and I was here at LA training for Rocky IV and I was 27 and I had to be on a very strict schedule but Grace likes to go out late, come home through you in the morning with your girlfriends and sometimes one thing will lead to another. And I'd be losing some sleep. And then I'd have to work out with Sly and after a few months had died. And he'd be like, the fuck's wrong with you. You know, look, you know, it looks so good. You know, it's not to tell him. And then, you know, and I ended up moving to his house to get a little piece and quiet. And then she got pissed off at that. - Ah, so he was training, like you guys were doing, like what he did with John Travolta later on. - We were training together twice a day for five months, weights and boxing. - What would, so what would a typical training day with the loan be like when you're living with him? - Well, I would be, you know, breakfast around six or so and then go to the gym for an hour of weights in the morning and then get a break for lunch, some tuna salad, or whatever, some no carbs. And then boxing two hours in the afternoon at the MGM. They had, they built a gym at the MGM. We rang and where we shot a lot of it. Oh, sorry, we rehearsed a lot of the fights. Some of the, or the choreographers. - Sure. - Both for my fight was Sly and also I fought called Weather. - Sure. - So there were two fights for me. Carl Weathers was a natural athlete. - Yeah, very, very athletic guy, good looking guy. - He could tell, it wasn't his build. It was the way he moved. He moved in a way that I was like, oh, that guy's athletic. - He had that Muhammad Ali kind of. - Yes. - Yeah, those, those moves, the natural thing. - He was lying on his feet and he had rhythm. - Yeah. - And when you see guys boxing in movies,
They can simulate all the punching and everything but they can't really capture the rhythm part because that's a little more innate. That's a little more you're the guy that are you you know there's only so many Muhammad Ali's and Sugar Ray Leonard's and guys like that and so when you see the guys move like he moved you go oh that guy's an a that guy's an athletic guy like you could tell he really looked light on his feet. He was a good boxer. Yeah and Sly was very clever because he you know he casted him in the first picture. He who's auditioning a lot of people he told me you know and I remember he showed me the tape even when they're doing the sparring in the beginning and you're right. It's very difficult when you're actually fighting for real and somebody's trying to hurt you. It's very difficult to be to move like that and to have the kind of dexterity and to and the confidence to use those films he did. Because when my character for instance Ivan Drago he was a Soviet fighter and they have that classic Soviet style. It's very kind of a long stance very classic with a long jab and yeah totally different but it's very it kind of reminds you of a karate stance. So I had like a certain advantage because I'd done karate so I had that kind of those movements also in my body. I didn't have to and I didn't have to practice much about that you know. What was the story where you injured Stallone when you were sparring? Oh filming. Yeah we were filming a Vancouver and he was you know he was the director and my sparring partner 10 years old and me and he was like you know certain things we would kind of improvise certain you know parts of the fights where he light times he'd be in the corner and you know my characters hitting him and he would like okay just go ahead and hit me you know hit me harder and that would just do what he told me and and he did the same to me and we have some head shots because in those days it was it was on film everything had to be on camera you couldn't add anything afterwards so you know the blood has to fly out of your mouth and you had has to go back in slow motion so we did all of that and then you know everything seemed fine and then I came back to LA and and the producer calls me says they'd off you know you got two weeks off and I'm like oh great you know what's going on he's like slurrs in the hospital so then I heard that he had some kind of heart swollen heart muscle or something because they got hit the ribs pushed up against his heart and they had to fly him low altitude from Vancouver to LA so it didn't like it's his heart didn't like expand or something like that so it was pretty serious I guess but I don't know hard feelings you know he'll tell the story too I think he he doesn't mind it you know well I mean he throws himself into his work and I mean his ethic work ethic and just his intensity is really why he is who he is I think I mean you know I mean whether you're talking about Stallone or whether you're talking about Schwarzenegger I mean you removed the work ethic from those two guys and we're we don't know their names right you're right no you're right they're they're they're role models of mine because they do have the work ethic and they do have the press of variance and and in the most cases he's like he's a great artist too and a great writer so yes people forget that that he created those characters from from nothing you know and he found all the co-stars found Mr. Chief found Carl found that Swedish guy who played Ivan Drago and he's you know he's a he's a pretty clever guy home serve owning a home is amazing until it's

a Riley and they help me and I go into the store they're professional parts people they're at a Riley and you can go by the go by there in person or you can do your shopping online at a Riley as well but I don't go in the store like the way it smells I like to talk to the people it's a Riley auto parts right Dawson stop by O Riley auto parts today we'll revisit us at O Riley auto dot com slash Adam that's O Riley auto dot com slash Adam how was the accent and and when I mean the Swedish accent's not the Russian accent but it's a it's another language yes I mean you have a little advantage you you're somewhere in Europe and you have some other language skill was in that make it easier to get into the Russian possibly yeah I have this Russian coach when I when I got the part first out to edition and then I didn't have a coach I had to figure it out myself but I think the Swedish accent was close enough and then this Russian guy it's the Russian it's kind of a heavy set you know very kind of it's a Slavic Swedish is a Germanic language like German the German of English but Slavic is different it's like shorter and kind of slower and more it's it's a hard heavier language so yeah I practiced with him and he was he was very clever he also knew exactly how Soviet athletes were taking from their family sometimes and against their will and and kind of forced to do some of these sports day we're necessarily it wasn't like I even drug a wanted to kill a polycreator wanted to be fight or maybe even in the first place so some of that is the the second Frankenstein's myth you know the monster is not the bad guy and I think that's what's kind of cool in Rocky for its system that's the bad guy and Ivan just goes along he does what he's told more or less until the end when he kind of rebels so I think that's why I ended up just that's why I ended up maybe playing a lead in my next picture it wasn't because yeah there was some kind of tragic sculpture yeah a master's of the universe a master's of the universe yeah because there is something kind of some try a little bit of tragedy in their characters somehow low behind the eyes you you you've breased past something that like their circle back to yeah you're talking about grace jones like to stay out you bring a couple of lady friends home that's right for you guys to enjoy that sounds like something to discuss yeah why you're interested I just I'm kind of picturing it you know she go out gather up a couple model friends and possibly bring them back for some cocktails with Dolph well Dolph would usually be asleep trying to you know get up he has to get up and work out with sly and sly doesn't allow any mistakes you know you can't punch him in the face accidentally so did did grace bring the girls back for her or for you or for her and you for for her and me I think yeah I think she she liked both that was a bunch of good time it wasn't bad no it was pretty good for a sweetest kid no I I had to you know do what I have to do once in a while you know well I know I've always said this best best time in this country's history was pre-AIDS mid coke aids didn't exist coke wasn't bad for you and everyone was having a good time then all of a sudden coke got bad for you and age rolled in and then everyone stopped having a good time and that's basically when I got unleashed so I if anyone who had because they're guys that are like it's sort of almost like COVID where you kind of go like COVID aids you know Fauci but what I'm saying is it's like people go he was a COVID kid he missed a whole bunch of school he didn't get to play senior year football he had to stay home so he's a little bit fucked up you know what I mean like and he go all right because if you were the wrong age it affected you a lot more than it affected me you know and
And age was like that way. If you were the wrong age, you're just getting out of high school and all of a sudden, there's no more, no more free love. Like you gotta, everyone's wanting to get tested and everyone's paranoid and everyone's, that's gonna affect you for a while. You know what I mean? But you got in just under, just under the age wire. And Coke was like recreational. Like people had a good time. It was not, it was not a bad drug. I mean, there wasn't even a much of a stigma to it back when it hit, you know, it's kind of party. I don't know, it's kind of like having a cocktail. - You're not wrong, no, it's, you're right. I think also what happened was I think Crack came sometime in the mid '90s. In mid '80s, it made it more of a street drug and people committed crimes and broke into cars. Nobody who went to 54 was gonna like rob somebody to get some drugs. - Right, right, you're right. - You're right. - Coke was fun and then Crack got evil. And then AIDS rolled in around the time. Crack fired up and there was no more fucking fun to have. Studio 54 closed down and there's nothing to do but go home and masturbate, go to bed and pile your own tears. Yes, you're right. Crack did, came in right around the Renaissance of Coke. I mean Crack and AIDS, sorry. But 54, Studio 54 in the heyday. That is a time that'll never be recreated because everyone's got a camera now. It's a phone, you know, there's no more of what went on at that club. Celebrities wouldn't be seen doing that. That couldn't be out and about. You know what I mean, like it's never, that was it. That was kind of a one time thing in history and it's gone. There is no more of that. - You're right, no, I don't think there is. I think that, you know, with social media and iPhones and there were me two movement and all the rest of it. Yeah, there's certainly everybody's being scrutinized so much that you could never have that happen because it would blow up and, you know, rebel to go to jail much earlier. It went to jail for tax evasion, not for anything else. It wasn't like what was going on inside the drugs and all that. I don't think I had anything to do with it. - Oh, the owners. The owners went to jail because tax evasion. - How would it work when you and Grace Jones went in there? Was there a little bit of a hierarchy? Like, well, there's, you know, there's Andy, or there's Liza Manelli or something over there, but we're gonna stand here and we'll wait for her to come over to us or do you go over to them? Like, how, was there a little bit of a hierarchy over there? - I can't remember all of it because it's a little bit of a fog but some nights. But I think it was, how did VIP area, I believe, where, you know, Grace was obviously, you know, at the top of the pyramid. So people would come to her. - Right, Andy also was at the top of the pyramid and they were very good friends. And then Rebell had kind of a back office where, you know, people would go to do some blow or do some drugs or something else. And I remember I lost Grace one time and I was kind of wandering around trying to find her. And I, and somebody said that she'd, you know, I think she's in Rebell's office. So I saw how I got back there. And I, I guess, security let me back. And I knocked on the door and he, he opens it. He looks me up and down and closer to the door in my face, right? Get the fuck out of here, kid. And then, of course, Grace heard it was me so then they let me in. But that was kind of a VIP area where guys were doing drugs and, but people would have it. I mean, there was, there was a bleachers. You know, it was, it was a, an old theater. So you had like the dance floor that you had like the, the had all these, where the scene was, the result is different projectors. They could, you know, all kinds of stuff was going on there. But then up, when you, if you walked up in the, in the bleachers up in that area, where the seats were, it was pitch black, more or less. And there was a lot of space there. So there was a lot of stuff happening up there. A lot of sacks up there. A lot of sacks, yeah. Yeah, again, nobody, nobody cared with the home. I get it. And by the way, you're from Sweden. You're not uptight. You know, what I was kind of uptight, but Grace kind of, you know, loosened the up a little bit, yeah. Was there, you're, you're from such a white place? Was there issues like with dad? You're dating a woman that is as black as women got. And that's just a while ago. You know, it's not today. There's not like every time you turn on the TV, you see commercials, a mix couple. That's now. But that wasn't in 1981. So was there, were people back home uptight? A little bit. I mean, first of all, Grace's dad was a minister and he was very religious. And they weren't crazy about me dating him, dating her for some reason. They, I remember we went to Syracuse where there were from and we didn't want us to stay in their home. And I could. They were. I was very kind about it too. Yeah, they were uptight about it. And then my, my mom and my sisters were fine because they knew Grace Jones from, she was sort of famous and sweet in any way. But my dad, you know, she came to visit Sweden once and I think my dad was, he had to go into business trip that day or something. He was busy. So he couldn't handle it. Interesting. It's weird, you know, when you think about it, you go, you know, okay, I get it naively. I go white racist or white racist, but you know, it's a two way street, you know, her dad wasn't a big fan of, for me, now he wasn't really, you know. He thought there was some no good white kid, it was going to like, you know, get a free ride on, you know, his famous daughter, maybe. Yeah, well, she was pretty famous and I don't even, again, she was kind of a bit of a pioneer in that she was like a model. She was an actress. She was in a Bond movie, right? But she was also a singer and a performer and an artist, you know, when did the Bond movie come out? It came out in '84 and they shot in '84, it was shot and came out the same year, I believe, because I went to the premiere with, it was Roger Moore and it was Chris Walken and she was the bad girl, so it was fun because Chris and her had this kind of love scene or, you know, it's a Bond movie. It's not like they're having sex, but they were kissing and I know Walken's got to be nervous around me, you know, because I'd be on sets all the time and I even ran into him somewhere afterwards. And many years later, he was always kind of apologizing, he was fine. I didn't care because little did he know what our love life looked like in those days. It was, you know, open. Pretty open. Yeah. Well, you know, taken either one of you and kind of sidelineing you sexually, be a waste for all the other people that wanted to experience that, you know, be like closing down Disneyland, so only one guy could enjoy it. Well, the thing is I had never really had a girlfriend before I met her. I was training, studying, I was very inexperienced, this is when I was 26, so, you know, I was a late starter, let's say. I don't, we had a little making up to do. I did have some to do. What year did she burn the suit? 85. What kind of motorcycle did you have? A Yamaha 1200, black. That's a, that's a big displacement bike for the city back in the day. Yeah. The bikes used to be 400's or 750's or whatever. 1200 was it? That's a big bike. It was very heavy. Like, if it starts sliding, you can't stop it, you know, it's also big for a Japanese bike back. Yeah. Back then. That's a lot of bike. It was a lot of bike, yeah. A lot of bikes for a lot of leather. A lot of leather. Oh, man. What would that suit, that suit would be in the Hard Rock museum right now, it would be in a hotel or a Hard Rock casino, that the leather suit, the Versace made Dolph Lundgren before Versace was even Versace, as we know him with his untimely demise. Yes. So, big, not like hanging up a prince outfit, you know, something's got some scale to it. Man, Hard Rock would pay a pretty penny for that bad boy about now. Yeah. Too bad. Just one copy that was, you know, unfortunately, and up in smoke. But the maid called you. That's interesting. The maid. Yeah. She called me and said, you know, you must come home. Why? I'm busy. Yeah, but she's burning your clothes and I mean, she wasn't going to stop at the suit. No, no. She did a bunch of other stuff too, but that was the one I remembered because I, it was kind of a, it was very beautiful suit he made. But all the other stuff didn't really matter and some photos we had together with, that we took with Helmut Newton and he had signed. There were a few things I went, her Brits, some stuff went into the fireplace, but it's okay. Easy come, easy go, you know. We're looking at you now, we're looking at a pen. Now that's the leather pants.
are there may be the leather pants. I'm trying to see if there are the real ones. No, I think those are not, there may be the real ones because they had rubber on the side. He had like the kind of like from some tie from rubber tires on the side here. - Uh-huh. - On the side of the arm. - I mean like for protection. - No, it was just there as a stretch. - Oh, oh. - You put in rubber with the leather so that they could be really tight to stretch out. - I think those may be a different pair. - Oh man, what a time to be there and to see all that. - But even just to live with Stallone when Stallone was that version of Stallone and then later on reunite for so many projects with him. I mean, it's a real blessed kind of. And then of course, cancer, not a blessing, but then your remission, right? - Yeah, but it was a blessing because before I got cancer I was just burning the candle, both ends, I was training too much, traveling too much, working too much. I was taking steroids, I was taking all kinds of, you know, just to, I didn't know how to slow down and I didn't really take care of myself. And it's like my therapist said, the only thing that made me was serious enough to make me stop and like re-evaluate what I was doing was cancer. So I could have died anyway of something else, so I'm glad it kind of happened actually. Not glad, but I'm, yeah, you can either see it as a negative or as sort of a way to move forward on it, to use it for something good, which I think I've done in my life anyway. - Well, it kind of, there are things in life that kind of force you to reset. And most people benefit from like a reset, you know what I mean? Like they'd, something just, sadly it's tragedy, a lot of time, but sometimes there's just a reset where someone goes, all right, it's time to step back and sort of evaluate instead of just put your head down, and sort of plow forward, because that's kind of your nature. And so, and it's good, I mean, it serves you, but it has served you, that's why you're here, that's why we know who you are, and with that kind of person, but sometimes that can be destructive, and then there's a sort of moderation part. And I don't know that the people that are really good at plowing forward are much good at stopping and evaluating. And so sometimes something has to stop you, 'cause you're not gonna do it yourself, you know, and maybe that's what that cancer was. - Yeah, I think it's a good analysis, I think, you know, yeah, some people can't stop, and you know, you go out in the blaze of glory, like a Viking, you know, and a young, beautiful warrior, you know, there's a funeral pyre, and people talk about you after the battles, and that's kind of what I always thought was gonna happen to me. I mean, there are many examples of, like I mentioned earlier, Marilyn Monroe, where I was presently, they never get old because they never got old. - Right. - They weren't meant to be, old, they just, I don't think they could make that transition, it would have been very hard for them, you know. - Yeah. - And it's a difficult transition to make, and I was, I think in one way, lucky that for me, cancer became a way for me to re-evaluate who I am, and try to realize that perhaps there's an older, wiser warrior, he doesn't have to be the young warrior who goes out in the blaze of glory, which I kind of, somehow thought I was gonna, was gonna happen to me. - Well, like the aforementioned beauty queen who gets kind of forced into this life, that poor woman at some point turns 50 and is forced to try to look like she's perpetually 28, 'cause there's that, because that, there's that pressure, you know what I mean? But the shorter, homely, dumpy one never has to feel the pressure of hanging on to this aesthetic, you know. Danny DeVito, it just gets to be Danny DeVito all the time. He never feels like I gotta hang on to this thing, you know. If you had a look, like you did, or Marilyn Monroe, or Sylvester Stallone, you have to feel compelled to like hang on and maintain it, and then that creates a lot of energy and pressure. I'm guessing. - Yes, no it does, you're in a lot of pain, potentially a lot of inner pain and, you know, negative emotions that can easily kill you in various ways. I can kill you career, I can literally kill you because you're becoming, like you start hating me with part of yourself, because you're not really living up to what people want you to be. And that's a complex situation, obviously. I saw another actor who said that when you get famous, you stop your development stops at that age. And it was interesting because he, I think he was a child star and he said, I got famous when I was whatever. He was on his teens and he kind of became the teeny-bopper. Even when he was like 56 years old, he's still wearing the same clothes, the acts the same way, so to make the transition to be a mature man, for instance, it's not, it's hard for everybody, but it's especially hard, I think, for it can be hard for actors and artists. - For women, especially even artists. - You know, it's interesting, it's kind of sad, but when women get, and men too, I think, but you're trapped at that age, when they get, like, sexually molested at a young age, they kind of sound, that's their voice for the rest of their life, you have that voice. Like, you can hear it. I used to hear it when I did "Love Line of Radio Show." I could hear when they were molested. They get stuck in that age. And it's the trauma side. You'd rather be a child actor than molested, but I'm saying there's a way of your brain that sort of locks you into a period and you probably act that way. Feel that way your whole life. It's kind of, it's interesting and sad, but I'm glad you got the cancer and beat it. I'm glad you got the therapy. And I'm glad the new version of Dolph Lungren is a good version. The documentary, I can't wait to that comes out, that'll be October 6th, and then the book fights worth fighting. That'll be out very soon on the 22nd. Dolph O's, I love it. When you come in here with your candor. - Thank you. - Sharing, your fun stories. We can all live vicariously through Dolph Lungren. - Okay. - Good talking to my friend. - Thanks man. - We'll take a break. - Thank you. - We'll do some news right after this.

at www.sonas.co It's time to check Adam's voicemail. Adam is John on the Central Coast. I got a hypothetical for you. Who do you think would win in a fight at the peak of their performance? At the top of their game, let's say 1982. Who do you think would win between Kim Karns and Bonnie Tyler? You want to get your take on this? Get it on. You can leave us a message at 888-634-1744. Kim Karns was Betty Davis' eyes. And Bonnie Tyler. Total eclipse of the heart and I need a hero. I got to go total eclipse of the heart. Do you think Bonnie Tyler wins that fight? Well, first off, you get this line. Once upon a time I was falling in love, now I'm only falling apart. Nothing you can say total eclipse of the heart. That's strong. No, but no points for voice quality. I'm going to say Kim Karns is a little gruffer. Probably a little tougher behind the club. And by the way, Betty Davis was alive during that song. You know, it's got to be nice to be recognized in the form of a song. A hit song. Yeah, yeah. No one's ever heard it. It doesn't feel that good. I could ride a song. My daughter has the widest dick I've ever seen. But no one heard it. People wouldn't stop you at airports. Yeah, it's good. No, but you know, a number one hit. I know what you're saying. A big hit song and then you got the songs like Vogue with Madonna where she names a bunch of people. Which is good, but it's not as good as being the one person. Right. That's that's that's that's recognized in a song. So wait a minute. What year did Betty Davis eyes come out? Like 81, 82 or whatever. And then did Betty Davis make it into the 90s? And then Chuck, I'm just asking you to top your head, bro. Huh? What? Somebody who stands against weird spellings of first names. How do you feel about Betty Davis? We're right around the corner from Betty Davis Park. And it's B-E-T-T-E. Oh, it is? Yep. Never knew that. It's not Betty. I'd have to see the parks. I see. I just assumed it was Betty with a Y. Because I never, never read about it. The song was written in 74. The single came out in '81. Wow. Wow. She was pumping weights getting ready for the fight. It took seven years for that baby to come out. And then what, well, what year did Betty Davis die, though? That's the key. How many good years? And then do you play that at your funeral if you're Betty Davis? I think so. And it's got to be in the montage of songs that are played. It's got to be on the DJ's list. At least at the wake when they're eating the casseroles and the smoked fish. They got to do it then. 1989. Okay. So she had a good eight year run with that song. All right. Oh, in the, in the annals of being mentioned on stuff. My call is called me today and he goes his phone with shaky, but he goes. Mike's phone. So he's shaking. Oh, that's part of the thing. That's phone is almost a manifestation of him and his information, you know what I mean? Like everything's a little shaky. He, he goes, Bill Maher and Brad Williams were saying good things about you. And I was like, oh, that's nice. And I was like, Brad Williams. It was on Bill Maher's show. He goes, now Brian Williams, because the phone was shaky. So news reporter Brian Williams. And he played for me over the phone. But I was like, oh, just send it, send it to Andrew and we'll have it. So here, here he is on club random news, news reporter Brian Williams. Let me ask you about the environment here in California. Tomorrow, my wife and I are going to take a drive up the PCH. And it's the first time I will have seen Malibu since the fires. By the way, we have found great success out east. Putting water in our hydrants. Just I want to throw it out there. Just want a little tip. A tip. Why Adam Corolla, who I agree with. Love Adam Corolla. On an increasing number of topics. As these videos on the PCH showing the vacant lots in Malibu. And highlighting the ridiculous permit process in this state. The Coastal Commission. You've got the Bass Administration. We could do 90 minutes on that. Why is California this way? I've been bitching about your solar panels. I know, I know, I'm just telling you. Like, you wonder why that part of the left fucking hates me. Because I will not stop saying these things that are crazy. The old school guys are starting to catch on that these people are bad shit crazy. But mostly they're destructive. Like all the ideas, you know, the free to be you and me and love who you want to love. That's all fine. That doesn't have to do with permits. My thing is, take all of that shit. Do all the free love shit you want. Fine. And issue permits. The promise is that the same brain that just focuses on that shit has no time for permits and building departments. And engineering and soils reports and shit, they just don't. I keep explaining to people. Does Karen Bass, mayor or Nithia Ram and potential mayor. Do they seem interested in the subject of building? Let's just say building. Like, do they do stuff? Like, would we be surprised to find out that Karen Bass remodeled her own kitchen herself two years ago or something? Do these two ladies seem to have an interest in that subject? And the answer is no. They have no interest in it. And I would take it a step further, they probably didn't like it. My dad wasn't sort of agnostic on building stuff. He didn't like it. He didn't want to do it. And he wasn't interested in it. He didn't actively tear shit down though, right? That's true. But like, every time he would come to my house and I was always building something, he didn't even want to come in. He was just like, oh, let's go to line. Here's how much my dad knew about building. He came to my house once and I was underneath it, jacking it up. Yeah, bottle jack. You can check. I'm looking at you, Chuck. Built like a bottle, Jack. I bet all your Jewish friends grew up with that nickname, right? With all your progressive, hippie, vegan Jewish friends. They were like, "Bottle, I said bottle, Jack, bro." This is the first time I've been called. What? Because you hang out with a bunch of homos that don't know the name of one tool? Yes. I had a bottle jack. I was jacking up my house. You jack up a house. Right. With a bottle jack. Right, dude. And reinforcing the foundation, right? And I was in there and I was like, you jack it up, then you got to pop in the two by fours and then come down or whatever. I jacked up a whole outdoor overhead balcony and stuff, too. I've gone nuts. But the point is, my dad showed up and I was like grabbing a 18 inch two by four and I was like wetching it in or whatever. And he's like that two by four. Yeah. I go, yeah, I'm going to fit it in here. I'm going to jack it up. I got to fit this thing in. And he goes, you get it from the cut it for you at the store? Yeah, dad, that's how building works. I go down the home depot. I get my whole cut left. I need to lift my house. Yeah. So I'm going to need an 18, 19, 20, 21, 21. Dad, you buy lumber. And then you use a saw. Really? And by the way, he knows I have 7,000 saws and he's seen stacks of lumber eight foot, 10 foot, 12 foot. But he thought I had to go down the hill. That's what you can do. You lead a willfully disinterested life. Yes. You can know nothing. Anything. Yes. You can do it. My dad was capable of knowing nothing. Wow. That dream is achievable, people. You can know zero about your own kids and any endeavor they're involved with. But you have to work at it. Oh, wait, wait. You have to not work at it. Hold on. It takes a lot of work. It takes a lot of work to not work knowing anything about your kids and anything that they do. But my dad had no interest in this shit. But Karen Bass probably has less. And if the aromain has less. And the fucking city council has less than that. So why would there be a bunch of permits or expedited anything? Why would any of this? Why would we have a bullet train? Why would we have any of this stuff? They're not into it. Now what they are into is they're into the gay pride movement. So that they show up for. That's what they're interested. Fine. If I were elected, then it'd be all talk about traffic and building. And I'd be in no show at the gay pride parade. There you go. And that would be what I'm interested in. And then you have to ask. you have to ask yourself.
yourself, do you want to live in a city where the person is marching proudly with the gay community all the time while you're work or you get a bullet train in a new airport? The only thing that's the ramen and Karen Bass want to build are coalitions to tear things down. That is well said. And now there's a cynic in me who saw this Bill Mark clip and I see Brian Williams specifically calling out Karen Bass and I'm noticing more and more that the left-leaning news media has seemed to got their marching papers. Karen Bass is the enemy and Nithia Ramen is heavily favored now. Is that true? Yeah, I wonder if. I wonder if I look. Anything's on the table now. Everything's on the table. That's true. Everything is on the table. All right, there's a rant that I did that I put up on YouTube and it got a lot of traction. You can go to amcrollup.com or YouTube channel wherever is and looking at it's not that long but it sort of encapsulated a lot of feelings I was having and I thought well you know it's getting good traction. YouTube when I just play the audio or video version on the phone or on the show. So here it is Dawson. America, I'm here to fix you. Something has gone terribly wrong and I don't know what it is. It could be microplastics, it could be edibles, it could be bad parenting. What is this? Well it's a moist towelette and it has a lid on it that's hinged and it's the most convenient thing in the world. But every time I show up the lid is in this position even when there's no one in the building. Now they're called moist towelettes but they're not going to say moist for long if you don't put the fucking cap down on them and yesterday I said to someone who works in this building after they left it like this. I said to the person please be mindful and snap the lid down on the moist towelettes so they can remain moist. I came in 24 hours later and I walked in the same room and the top was up again and I said to the guy you didn't even give me 48 hours. You gave me one day and you didn't say exact same thing again and he said sorry boss I forgot. Now what's going on? By the way the person that came up with this innovation who I will label as a hero whether it be on mayonnaise, mustard, ketchup or toothpaste probably thought to themselves problem solved. Problem solved. I put the cap on a hinge right on top of the mayonnaise. The day of the dry crusty mayonnaise lid is over. Hazah and the toothpaste clogged up. Those days are over too. Hazah. Uh-uh. You didn't know how stupid and fucking lazy and out of it we all were. I see toothpaste in my house with the cap just flipped up and a big old snot rocket of dried up toothpaste sitting right at the top. This brings you a bigger problem. Wake up and undo what you did. You popped it. Now top it. Would you bitch? You popped it up. Now put it back down. Every single time I pick my car up at a valet. I'm six foot two. Every single time the seat is pushed up because the miniature Mexican who walked here from Guadalajara underneath the fence by the way and he didn't have to duck has put the seat all the way up. He sees the six foot two or coming. Nope. He's not going to put it back. Just put it back to where it was. And by the way that weird pink tab you put on the windshield that gums up and leaves the pink streak when it starts raining and automatic wipers kick on. Pull back. Just put it back to how it was. You put this you put the sticker on the windshield. You move the seat up. Now move the seat back and pull the fucking tab. Who's ever pulled the tab? Have you ever had a valet pull a tab on that windshield? You want to know why? Because they needed to put the tab on as part of their job. But after they got the tip they're done. They're never going to undo what they did. And I got a whole list of shit for people. So fucking buckle up potato chips potato chips roll the bag down and put the fucking clip on it. It's the company potato chips. They're going to go rancid. They're going to go stale. It's called a potato chip clip. We invented a zip lock for the top of the mix nuts and the jerky thing. We won't even use the zip lock. We just leave the thing fucking gaping open like a big mouth bass everywhere to dry out. We are throwing away so much food and wasting so much stuff but shit because people are so fucking out of it and so lazy. Wait to fuck up. Zip it shut. You know what you used to have to do to store food? Rocks all in a fucking cave. And you can't even do the zip lock and you can't even put the lid down on the pizza box. You got your slice. You lift the lid. You got your slice. Oh, now his highness has done. No, he's not. Put the fucking lid down. I don't want fucking moths landing on the pepperoni. By the way, would you accept a pizza if they delivered it to you with the top up? If the answer is no, then don't fucking leave it that way after you get a slice. Start undoing what you fucking did. You lazy sacked a shit. And by the way, as far as your gum goes, throw it the fuck away. You know what you urinals I go to with gum sitting in it. You know the airport. First off, there's a fresh pot of golden brew waiting for you when you get to the airport urinal because the guy before you wouldn't even reach up and flush. You want to why? He's done. He's emptied his bladder. This is your problem. And as soon as you flush it, that exposes the piece of gum that the guy spit out beforehand. And somebody's got fish that shit out. Somebody's got to show up like Bill Murray with tongues and a hazmat suit and pull the fucking gum out when you can just throw in the trash can. It's four feet to your left, but you won't do it. Oh, they're dried through McDonald's. You're done. Spit the gum right out the window right on the hot sidewalk. Let it fuck up everyone else's shoes. How fucking lazy are we? I want to visit my dad in the hospital 10 years ago. There's a drinking fountain on the eight floor. I want to use it. Someone had expelled their wad of Copenhagen into a big fucking brown wad of Copenhagen in the fucking drinking fountain at the hospital where people are going to gree and say goodbye to their Nana and their Copenhagen had to fucking land right in that thing. It's not all about you. What happened to fucking gold rule? Wake the fuck up everyone. Focus a little. You're not the only person on the goddamn planet. Every place in LA two months after Christmas, you see Christmas trees thrown everywhere. A fucking had enough. Focus. If you do something undo it. If you pop the cap, then close the cap. Fucking a. And also the ceiling fan. We shut the fucking switch for the ceiling fan. Shut the ceiling fan. You know many times I've walked into an empty room in my house. I'd go to my daughter's room. That's fucking ceiling fan would run 24/7. She was at school. She'd been there for four hours. That thing was just running. In fact, shut the fucking ceiling fan. My daughter's ceiling fan has turned enough revolutions to propel Amelia Earhart's aircraft twice around the fucking globe with nobody in the room. Just wake the fuck up. And let me show you one more thing. And I want to show you this because I'm going to walk you over there, Andrew. A little pride in craftsmanship. A little dexterity. A little eye care. A little golden rule. This switch plate. The person that put this shit up. The person that put up the sound deadening material inside of my beautiful studio. And it wasn't me. Decided to cut nice and wide around the switch plate and around the air conditioning thermostat switch. Instead of popping the switch plate off, making a much smaller hole, and then putting the switch plate over the fucking top where it'll look clean and professional. No, we have to deal with this fucking abortion where you can see the old paint underneath because the person didn't have the sense of mind to pull the two things off. Cut a smaller hole. Pull the fucking wires through. And then surface mounted bitch. Fucking wake up everybody. You're so disappointing. Hallelujah. I'll tell you, we have an audio engineering term for putting it back the way it was. I think you'll like this. It's easy. Short. It's RT zero. Sounds for return to zero. Yes. Everything back at its base when it's finished. Also great Elvis. Rosetta Stone. There's nothing better than impressing your friends with your knowledge of another language. Luckily Rosetta Stone just came out with Rosetta Stone. Sapphire. Their biggest launch in over decade. It uses the research-backed method Rosetta Stone is known for and adds fresh cutting edge features.

As we're recording this, this story just breaking through TMZ, it appears that Paramount Studios is in fact leaving Los Angeles for either Texas, Georgia, or Tennessee, internal discussions in Los Angeles mayor's office in the California Attorney General's office. We're told that Paramount would announce it was leaving California. They were going to say it yesterday, which would be Tuesday, but they didn't, as you know, Bob Bonta, along with 11 other state attorneys general filing anti-trust lawsuit against Paramount, trying to block the Paramount Warner Brothers merger. Yeah, so they're way to go, Bonta. Yeah, look, there's a thing where they act like it's, you know, Los Angeles circa 1974. Like, they do a lot of, you know, it's like that great clip of Newsom from five years ago where he's like, where else are you going to go? Like, they have a thing. It's like everywhere all the time. You don't have enough examples of that. Like, I know you have some sort of retarded pride, but people leaving, you know, here's, here's kind of the deal, micro or macro, like in a relationship when the person just leaves, you know, I mean, it's the ultimate. It's like, I am done with this. I'm leaving. It's like saving this. It's like a restaurant where you just never go back where you just have a shitty meal and you just go, I'm never going back there. It's, it's the ultimate strike. It's like the ultimate vote. It's not temporary. It's not even personal. It's, oh, and it's, it's oftentimes, I wish I could eat at this restaurant again. And I wish I could stay in this relationship. And I wish I didn't have to leave California, but I must because you've created this. And you can talk about any city or state, you can talk all you want about where you rank in education or where you rank and, you know, business, you know, like, you know, knew some, always just goes, we're the fourth largest economy. I know, but the bottom line is people leave. It's the bottom line for any entity. As a person, you know, if you talk to a woman, and her last eight boyfriend just left, it's a statement. It's the ultimate statement about an individual, a city or a state. And everyone is just talking about leaving. Right. And because of that, now you can combat all that talk with where else you're going to go or where the fourth largest economy or, you know, our gross national domestic product is bigger than Singapore. You can say, all you want than why, then why? Why? Why? I know everything's the best. Then why? If it's so good, then why? And you should wake up to that reality. And by the way, I don't know, Karen Bass, she's got to be cooked between, I mean, more we're going to see it. We'll get to her in a few minutes, but she, yes, she may not be able to be mayor because she could wind up in federal prison. Right. Yes. All right. We'll see. That being said, we do need more women of color and positions of power. That means it always works out always. Always. Always. Always tragic news in the San Fernando Valley last night, three are dead after a news helicopter reporting for NBC, Los Angeles crashed while covering another fatal collision, a drunk driver drove headlong into a bus. Yeah. This is some of the footage. They find who the drunk driver was because when I hear San Fernando Valley, I believe they do got him. Yeah. I'd like to know the name of the drunk driver if we can figure that out. But yeah, there's a horrible, horrible crash. Well, in the chopper, we're a photojournalist, Ellie on a marano. And the helicopter pilot was George Marcinot. The third victim was just some poor person on the ground. It was just a pedestrian on the ground. Yeah. And and the chopper somehow lost control. There's obviously going to be. Yeah, it wasn't able to if it's moving forward, there are things that can do, but counter rotation stuff. But if it's just hovering in its low, now that you can do also, yeah, on the ground, the first I read this, I don't know if it's true, but I tend to believe it. 9/11, the first fireman killed was on the ground from a falling body. Oh, shit. The first fireman killed was had a guy personally, which would definitely kill you. And you'd be a fireman who showed up and it was before the buildings collapsed. Yeah, obviously. So you might be the first fireman who was killed because they were all killed during the collapse. This is a pretty morbid thought that just came into my head, but there were probably a lot of people jumping out of the building on 9/11. Your odds of getting hit by one of those people as opposed to a down chopper got to be pretty tight. Well, we've got it. How do you think you're going? I mean, is that probably not a down chopper or someone falling out of a building? Who is the drunk, but that's a question. A woman. That's crazy. It's usually, dude, Hispanic surname, perhaps, perhaps you can figure it. I can't read it from here. Did she die? Then, okay, she hits that of a boss, I guess. There were, I believe, a total of five people killed because two were dead in the accident. And that may include the driver hold on. Rios was the last name, I think, which could be Hispanic I'll go with. All right, just absolutely tragic and sad. Yes. And just the other night at my house that there was a police chopper, just about 30 feet above my house because they were circling around because his suspect had run into, you know, try to seek cover in another house that was under construction. And I'm just looking up at this helicopter going right above me. And it did cross my mind. Like, if that guy goes down, we're just going to take a lot of property and people with him. Yeah, because obviously they're filled with fuel. The driver, Rios, is alive and booked on $4 million. Good. Yes. All right, what else you got, Josh? Well, you heard about Ed Sheeran's openers. You heard about Mackamore doing his shit on stage. Yeah, I don't really know who Mackamore is, except if I know the name, but I don't know when he had his last hit. Yeah, it's been a minute, I guess. As far as I know, he had like this one hit that was almost like a novelty song, something that you would hear on Dr. Demento many, many years ago, something about a pawn shop or something. Yeah, like a one, is he a one hit wonders the question with Mackamore? According to me, I'd say, yeah, but I don't know. I really don't know. So he was still in Jew face. Mm-hmm. He was climbing. Yeah. And and throwing a Hile Hitler. Oh, he threw in a Hile there's a picture of him with the Jew face and the Hile Hitler. Thrift shop. It's such a good guy, such a role model. I don't know why these douchebags think they know. Can I just say this? Let me explain something. We're Jews land on when you have a, here's how you have to run a society. Are you ready? You have to just start at the top and you have to sort of work your way down and you go, what are the big problems? Like, like a societal problem. So you go, everything in the Middle East, everything in Africa seems to be completely fucked up. Like we need to, whatever's going on in the Middle East, whatever's going on in Africa, whatever they're doing to women, what they're doing to themselves, you know,
terrorist, whatever, that's a big one. And then at some point, you'll get domestic and they'll go, like, well, how about the black family unit? Well, you know, 25% black kids being raised by their dad, that's pretty bad. It's having a bad impact and they're getting involved with gangs and they're dropping out of school stuff. And like, you could just go all the way down the line and you could go, well, maybe the internet's not been good. People do sit around watching too much porn all day to testosterone going down or something. It would take you a million years to get to the Jews in terms of, like, quick, now we got to fix something with the Jews. You know, long it would take to get to the Jews. We did forever. It takes forever before you got to the Jews as part of the problem of anything you need to remedy or fix. And people could go, well, what about Harvey Weinstein? He was a Jew and I go, yeah, yeah, okay, but there's plenty of, there's Jeffrey Dahmer, not a Jew. There's plenty of guys aren't you. So I'm saying as a group, as a problem as something that needs to be rectified, fixed or corrected, how many millions of years would we have to be years of civilization before we went? We need to focus now on the Jews because we've fixed every other civilization and every other tribe and every other people. They've all been picks. By the way, I'm going this year for Christmas. I'm going to Somalia. It's a beautiful destination point. It's wonderful and I've been crossed me out of great song about that. I'm going to Somalia and Palestine. It's a wonderland. Everything is fixed. Everything is fixed and now we got to get, we got to handle these Jews. Someone's got to bring up these Jews. We got to talk about these Jews. We're at a bizarre place in life where everyone here is talking about the Jews as if they're the problem and all we do is have fucking everything around us is failing and every other group is a piece of shit except for the Jews. Israel is not the problem. We got to get in it. No Jew is your problem and Israel is not the problem. Everyone around Israel and there's bunches of groups here that are problems. Right. And there's plenty of stuff that's going on in Central America, in Mexico. There's so many groups to fix. It's literally like it. I mean, start with your beloved Middle East. Marklemore. Talk about how gays and women and people who want to be educated are treated over that. It's literally like if every college campus was obsessed with Canada, we got, they can't have, we got to get them out of Quebec. That's not their land. Like Jesus fucking Christ, listen, people, Jews, if you're walking down the street at night and you're in a neighborhood and you don't know where you are and it's dark, you pray the guy walking toward you. So, okay, then shut the fuck up. Does everyone shut up about the fucking Jews? I know, I know it's easy. And by the way, you start talking about Islam, you get your head cut off. So that's my point. That's who Islam is, but that's, they're all cowards. Right. Nobody fucking politician. Here's the whole thing. You know, the squad in Omar and, you know, AOC, then let's start talking shit about Allah, because they're going to get blown up. So, a lot of it is cowardice. Yeah. But there's another angle to this too. Have you ever heard the phrase of the expression, you got to dance with the person who brought you? Mm-hmm. Macklemore and all these other people were invited on what was going to be probably a very successful close to sold out US tour. And instead of just doing what you're hired to do, go and play music and perform, you turn someone else's stage into a political statement and that regardless of what the political statement is, that is wrong and a fireable offense. Thrift shop. Yeah. Thrift shop. My mom would love Macklemore. She loves the rich shop. And he was born in Seattle. So, of course, that's one of the people who ditched the tour, big surprise. Billy Eilish's brother, a Phineas, who cares? These are also people who can't support a major tour like this on their own. They should have been blessed to be aboard this. But the crazy social media. Apparently, Macklemore got something like 250,000 more Instagram followers since this. So, it's like he's going to be backed up in the worst of circles. Yes. And it's just a bad day for the entertainment industry. It's weird. It's like every decision they make is the wrong decision. Every COVID decision was wrong. Every tribe followed everything too about AI now. Oh, he's got it now. Now, hot AI take right off the presses. What could go wrong? Jesus. All right. What else you got? All right. Did you know that there's fraud in the LA homelessness? There's a charity worker that was allegedly. She took shocking bribes in exchange for pouring millions of taxpayer dollars into the pocket of corrupt homeless service big wigs among those busted by the feds and sweeping operation. The targeted the infamous homeless service frauds crippling Los Angeles. Laquia Malone. We need more women of color and positions of power when you guys going to understand that because they can't be corrupted. They're gentle and they're kind and they'll take care of all our problems. The eyes of the cause of all this. FBI agents swarmed her home in South Los Angeles. Laquia Malone is her name. Let's just watch this really quick. All right. I got the bullhorn going. Mm hmm. What's got her hands up? What are you? She wearing a woman of color? Sit on. Is that a CPAP mask or a Burger King crown? I think it's a Burger King crown. The burger. I have it her way. That's right. All right. Listen, everyone. Of course, there's corruption going on because I've said it before. I'll say it again. If someone just went, if I just said Dawson, remember the time I gave you $500,000 to remodel your house and every time I showed up your house, everything was exactly the same. It was actually a little bit worse. Well, then there's two choices. You're either using that money for beer and pot or you're the worst at using money ever because how can you spend billions of dollars on a problem and have no change in the problem unless there's corruption. And by the way, there's two choices. There's either corruption or you're physically just taking the money and dumping it in the toilet. Mm hmm. Because something at some point, we need a shelter or community or department. Something. We need we need something. You couldn't, like I said, in the home analogy, I couldn't show up at your home and go Dawson. It's exactly the same as as I left it a year ago when I gave you the $500,000 you went, "Hey man, I've been working." I've been doing stuff. It's all the same. It's a little bit worse, the rooster year older. That's all we got. So obviously, there's corruption. But listen, taking oodles of cash and giving it to dumb chicks is going to lead to corruption. And also people that are from places where they're kind of low trust societies. I will put that in there as well. What would the possible outcome be to this? And your constituency who is the homeless are not a group who can tattle on you. Like what are you going to do? This guy's got a syringe hanging out of his arm. He's got a load in his pants. What's he going to do? Contact Mark Garragas and explain that he needs representation. You have this whole silent group of fucking drug-addled zombies who can't do anything, except get their next fix, a fentanyl. So you have this whole group that's never going to say a word. And then there's you and the money. And they don't know where the shelter is. By the way, they don't want to use the shelter. They want to get high. There's also the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority, which is at the center of a lot of this investigation. They have recurring problems with the corruptions and payments to nonprofit providers. You do remember that just a few days ago at the end of last week, Mayor of Los Angeles, Karen Bass, just all of a sudden resigned from LAHSA, LASA, they called it. They lost lots of our money. Yeah. She resigned. So I wouldn't be -- She got involved in front of Congress, too, and didn't show up. She said she wasn't going to go. She was busy. She's in Ghana, dancing. Leave her alone. But that being said, we need more. While the meat-packing plant is burning down, she's busy. We need more women of color and position. So anyway, let's see. At least the federal government is working their way up with this. Well, not with the Nick Shirley Act. Yeah. Well, the feds are different. Yeah, I know. These would be federal charges, and hopefully they're able to root this out. And I'd need to see some people really get in trouble with this. It's all a nothing. And you pay a ton of taxes, and you're just like, boom, boom, boom. Chef have you ever. done the math on how much you spend on food. It'll ruin your day.

It's very interesting and I'm convinced Jake Tapper's, we'll see, Andrew's convinced he's dumb but I'm convinced he's a supreme narcissist. And they can act the same way. And that you write a book about corruption of a president that you covered and never said a word on. Right, all right. But he's on CNN with Ernest Sincere. I don't know who this guy is, but he's this guy. He sits there looking. He's very Ernest. He's there with Ernest Sincere. Sincere newscaster family. And he's explaining about Gavin Newsom. But here's an interesting thought experiment, everyone. Always listen to the wording for everything. And this is how you know journalists are corrupt because they sort of become attorneys, you know what I mean? And what I mean is, is if you are an attorney for Michael Richards and he gets up on stage and drops 700 end bombs. You go, if you're as attorney, you go, when my celebrated comedic actor, client, misspoke briefly on stage, then people reacted, well, wait a minute, misspoke briefly. Oh, oh, you're his attorney. You would have said, dropped a bunch end bombs, right? If you're just reporting what happened. So you have to listen, notice no one ever said allegedly during that. It's not even if anything else is on tape. The only thing that was never alleged was Michael Richards. Right. So little things when they say things like Donald Trump falsely acclaims, the election was rigged. You don't have to say falsely and just say Donald Trump claims the election was rigged because that's what he's claiming. If you claim you saw your father, then Dawson claimed he saw your father. He didn't falsely claim he saw your father. I don't know if he saw your father, but you, but they knew it was falsely. So when you're doing news and you're adding shit, now you become an attorney for the other side. Listen, if you can catch, it's subtle, but there's a phrasing, a wording here that he uses. That's interesting. Go ahead. Well, I mean, I think it's used right now very much as a, a cudgel COVID is. Right. Assles of life. The matter is that a lot of people made mistakes during COVID. And you see governor Newsom there, I think sincerely, most sincerely with that sigh, thinking about how much he regrets the school's closing and that there wasn't more that was done to reopen them. We see the damage that without closing the schools, obviously, did the kids harness and see our notes and said and learning one of the reasons that we're trying this experiment with this longer form. All right, deposit there. Listen, fucking retard. Using as a cudgel. Yeah, because you tried to destroy people for four years. Yeah. So we're going to go ahead and bring that back up to the fucking sanctimonies pricks like yourself, right? Who tried to destroy people and ridicule people and get them fired from their job. And we're successful in de-platform. So fuck right off number one. Number two, this constant refrain of people in charge didn't know what the fuck was going on. And they just made a bunch of mistakes. Listen, that's fine. If you're cab driver and you turn down the wrong street and you got to circle around again or something, when you are a governor or you are a mayor or you are an airplane pilot, sorry, you don't get to just make mistakes for prolonged periods of time. There's a fiduciary duty. You're elected. You're in charge of a bunch of people. This fucking, it's a new era. We're in. It's chick-based, chick-based thinking. What's he made of a snake? He said, we sorry. Fuck you. You're fired. You're fucking fired. Yeah. You fucked up a lot of people. It's a kind of shit. Back in the day, you'd be fucking court-martialed. Like generals and presidents and pilots and astronauts. You fucked up. You're out. You can't have you here. You could made you're an astronaut who just hit the wrong buttons. He made a fucking mistake. You're fucking out. This new world order where everyone goes to him alone. He made a bunch of businesses. It's all brand new. Think this is all chick-dank and it's fucked up our society. By the way, if Gavin Newsom was Japanese, he'd kill himself. He would have fucking killed himself. He should have shame. Shame because of all that dishonor you've brought upon the good name of Newsom. But everyone's like, oh no, you two fucking Jake Tapper. You fucked up. You fucked up and you lied. And you're covering for your buddy who fucked up and lied, too. But everyone just wants to turn another page. No, no. We're just pouncing on you because you tried to destroy society for a year plan. But we're going to listen to it again. And you can tell me, if you can hear the slight bit of lawyering, he does forgive Newsom. OK, here we go. Well, I mean, I think it's used right now very much as a cudgel. Ernest sincere. Yeah. Yeah, we didn't. But the truth of the matter is that a lot of people made mistakes on your side. And you see Governor Newsom there, I think sincerely, most sincerely, with that sigh, thinking about how much he regrets the school's closing and that there wasn't more of that was done. Now hold on. He regrets the schools just closed themselves. Oh, nice. Yeah, the school's closing. He regrets closing the schools you lying fucking piece of shit. He regrets. He regrets closing the schools. He closed the schools. They didn't just close. It wasn't a fucking holiday. Wasn't seize our chav as his birthday. He closed them, but he very much regrets the schools closing. He, he closed the schools. Why should he regret the schools closing if he didn't close the schools? The proper verbages, Jake fucking lined happer is he regrets closing the schools. He regrets him closing the schools, not the schools magically closing on their own. Yeah. He regrets sucking the dick of the teachers unions and being paid off into his coffers. So he can run for president. He regrets sucking up to a bunch of fucking criminals who hurt kids. He regrets all this stuff now, though, because it's hurting him politically. He does not regret doing generational damage to the middle class of the state of California, right? Businesses closed. Kids were out of school. Yeah. The amount of income, future income that could be studied. That was lost because of Gavin Newsom's policies is astounding. But just think about that phrasing you have to think about. Now let's put it to you this way. If you were driving a car and you hit a pedestrian and kill them, then they would say, I think Adam regrets hitting that pedestrian or Adam
regrets crashing that car. You would not say, "Adam regrets the car crashing," because that gets you out of the car, and that's what Jake Tapper is trying to do when he's trying to suck new sums cock. He regrets school's closing. Well, now think of this, there's. Fuck off, Tapper. You're so fucked up. Like we got to listen to your fucking dumbass or anything. Well, also with him, you know, being complicit in the whole Biden cover-up and then writing a story about it, do you wonder if somewhere on this little fishing trip, because Gavin as slimy as the guy is, he's an intelligent man, did he look at Jake Tapper at one point and go, "Are you gonna fuck me, Jake? Are you gonna write a book after all this is over and I lose and this is gonna be in the book?" I don't know. All I know is the good news is, is we never have to listen to Jake Tapper again about anything. And I'll say the same about many people in the news. I'll say the same about Fauci. There's a whole long list of people that we'll never have to listen to ever again. They fucking sold their credibility, and that's what Jake Tapper did. Okay. Now, all right. Let's wrap up with this one. An entire high school football season was suspended over some disturbing claims. This is, I believe, in the high desert. Victor Valley High School football team dominated Apple Valley High School a Friday ago. They won 20 to 7, so that's not a total fucking block. Oh shit, man. But my game's from the high school. But because their braggadocious behavior, which included the mascot flipping off the opposing team. Wow. The school suspended the team. The coaches and forced them to forfeit their final game. Is there any video or is it just pictures? It's probably just pictures. There may be videos somewhere. But yeah, even the mascot went in on it. Apparently the coaches just let it go. Like this is no big deal. Yeah. And it is pretty, pretty poor sportsmanship. And I'll tell you what, I'm going to make my point in my high school. Yeah. If any of the kids on our team were doing anything like this, the quote was benched for life. Really? You're done. Well, I'm going to circle back to an original point of mine. No Jews involved with this. Zero Jews. I can find no Yamakas under those helmets. Now, this was not the work of the Jews. I'll tell you that right now. The other thing is is is there team colors that like camouflage or something almost had never seen that sort of looks like a like an army kind of it does kind of thing. So 27 fine was that it must have been a rivalry, I guess. Yeah, I think it was they they call it their bell game, which I guess is, you know, it's got to be some kind of rivalry. Uh huh. All right. Now things can be brought on. Other teams can talk shit. I don't know. I don't like it. I agree. There's only one game left. I'm guessing the team wasn't going to the playoffs or anything. And I think the principal made the right decision. Kids got a fucking learn a lesson here here here here. One. You know what it is? Consequences. Consequences. People people need to get a little consequence in there. Just ever whether you're a mascot flying the bird to a crowd or you're a Mexican on a minibike. You got to learn there can be consequences in the cities and the places with the least consequences have the most problems. Yeah. And we live in a low consequence city unless you almost know. Well, hold on, caveat, unless you try to add a deck on to your house. Oh, yeah, then there is going to be a lot of consequence for that. But good, let the kids learn a little consequence lesson. Apparently, the mascot's got into it. The Victorville, the Victor Valley High School mascot, the Jackrabbit was pushing the Apple Valley mascot on the sideline. I kind of like it. That it was choreographed. It probably looked like, you know, maybe, hey, these guys worked this out, but apparently it wasn't, but you never know who's inside that suit. You'd find out real quick if the guy's bigger than you. Yeah. Right. Yeah. So they suspended the team and there will be no more games and good for them. We need to bring back a little, a little that in life, although there probably weren't heading to the playoffs or anything. Otherwise, they wouldn't have scrubbed. Yeah. But I mean, I suppose I was only been going for like four weeks now. They still got, they're still like five or six weeks left of the season, right? Play through. Hold on, hold on. That was my initial thought. But in your story, you said one game remaining. No, no, no. I'm sorry. I didn't, I didn't know that if I said that, I misspoke. They are suspended for one game. They're next game. I don't know what the remaining came from if I said that. I did. Oh, maybe I thought they suspended them for the season or something. So they get one game off. I got to tell you, man, that would have broke me in high school. All I wanted to was play football. And I would have been fucking, I would have beat the shit out of that mascot because one game would have been an eternity. But then again, I didn't have anything else going on. Yeah. All right, this Sunday, Santa Ana, Jordan family class cars. They're going to be there. Dawson going to be there. Jaylen is going to be there. Bring your car. We'll do a little judging. Burbank flappers after that on the 24th. And then head into Casper. Wyoming at the Rialdo theater. That will be October 2nd. That's a cool theater.
