John Morgan & Adam Carolla Break Down Some of History’s Most Shocking Events!

John Morgan of Morgan & Morgan shares his unique hobby of collecting true crime memorabilia, from the OJ Simpson Bronco to Ted Bundy’s golf cart, illustrating how deep public fascination with crime and punishment shapes culture. The conversation explores how personal memories are tied to major historical events like the OJ chase, 9/11, and Princess Diana’s death, with both hosts recalling vivid, emotionally charged moments. Adam Carolla also reflects on absurd or chaotic life experiences—such as eating strange food, mistaken identity with pot brownies, or forgetting meals—highlighting the unpredictability of memory and human behavior. These anecdotes are framed within a broader commentary on societal norms, including the criticism of excessive political correctness, the critique of financial marketing (like JP Morgan’s "white savior" commercial), and the absurdity of modern urban governance. A key point emerges: people’s reactions to cultural symbols—like football team names or political figures—reveal underlying tensions about identity, tradition, and power. The episode blends humor, personal narrative, and social critique, ultimately celebrating the value of unstructured, chaotic, and often hilarious life experiences. It also underscores a recurring theme: true connection and meaning come not from polished structures or formal systems, but from the messy, unpredictable journey of everyday life. The discussion ends with a call for authenticity in both personal and public life, emphasizing that the journey—filled with oddities and missteps—is often more meaningful than the destination.

It's a little harder to lose weight and can even be less motivated. I realized that all these issues were linked and can be blamed on high cortisol. Cortisol is your body's stress hormone, and modern life keeps your cortisol jacked up, man, especially with all the doom-scrolling everyone does. And when cortisol is high, your body prioritizes stress hormones over testosterone production, and that's bad. And that's why I use Mars, man, because it uses natural ingredients. to support healthy testosterone production, while also helping your body manage cortisol levels. Now my mood's better, and I have consistent natural energy. They have a 90-day money-back guarantee, so there is no risk.

From Corolla One Studios in Glendale, California, this is the Adam Corolla Show. Adam's guest today, from Morgan & Morgan, John Morgan. Plus the news with Andrew Hobson, and now, Adam Corolla. Adam, I want to tell you that I don't know how, but on my social media feed, in the last week or so, all I'm getting is you. I mean, I've never, I'm like, you know, I'm laying in bed at night, you know, doing my, you know, going to sleep with my, waiting for my gummy to kick in and scrolling through Facebook, and I just keep getting, I mean, it's like, how has it picked up? But your stuff is very good. I'm now, I'm now signed up to watch. Thanks, John Morgan of Morgan & Morgan. So we know John pretty well, advertised on this show, and you've seen him in all the commercials, but John's a pretty interesting cat. And I'm, by the way, I don't know how those algorithm things work either. I'm happy I'm on the good side of it with you, and I'm flattered, I'm flattered that you watch. John has some interesting hobbies, and one of them is collecting true crime memories, memorabilia, and I'm interested in this. And I, you have, you have the OJ Bronco. I have the OJ Bronco. I have the Ted Bundy VW. I have the Alec Murdoch golf cart. I have the John Dillinger sedan, the Bonnie and Clyde death car. I got a whole museum of it. Wait a minute, Alec Murdoch golf cart. Explain that one. I don't know that one. The guy who killed his wife and son allegedly in South Carolina. Oh, that guy. Yeah. He's, I mean, he, he was on Netflix forever and ever. That guy. How's the golf cart work out though? Well, the golf cart is what he supposedly drove when he killed his wife and son. Now, as a guy who collects cars and maybe this popped up on your feed, but you know, I, I just interviewed Pete Brock. Pete Brock designed that Ford Shelby, uh, sorry, you know, Shelby Daytona, and it just sold for 43 million bucks the other weekend. And, uh, it was worth nothing at some point. It was an old race car that was worth less than a thousand dollars. So there's kind of two parts of this. One is, is like, I'm a car guy. I love cars. On the other hand, there's nothing wrong with spending a couple of thousand bucks on something. And it ends up being $43 million. Uh, that's fine too. Something like the OJ Bronco and these things, it's tough because there's no comps, as they say in the business, you know, comps are pretty easy with real estate and they're pretty easy with warehouses. And they're pretty easy, even with Ferraris, you just go the last 63 for our Lusso sold for 1.7. So yours is probably somewhere in the one six to one eight range. You know, it's easy. I don't know what you do with the LA there was no last OJ Bronco that sold. There's what you paid for for it. And then that's it, right? But that's not my calculus. I built, I believe that America has is most fascinated by crime and punishment more than anything else. Maybe sex first crime and punishment. Second, I went to Alcatraz. I saw that. So I built an, I'm in the attraction business. I built an attraction in Pigeon Forge. I call it Alcatraz East. You can Google it and look at it. It looks like an old car. It looks like an old prison. And Adam, we print money because America is fascinated with crime. So when you go through, it's the history of crime and punishment. I have so many things. Have you ever seen, remember when he says, say hello to my little friend, Al Pacino. I have my little friend. I have so much in this attraction, takes you about three and a half hours to go through it. So as long as the attraction is open, we'll get a return on my money. I don't know what OJ's Bronco would be worth. I, when I watched Jay, I saw you all with Jay on that loop. I saw you all with Jay Leno. And I was thinking, what are his cars worth in that garage? - Well, you're talking about Leno? - Leno, yeah. - Yeah, well, I'll give you, I'll give you an example. He has a 93, I believe it is. F1 car. And it was, I think we can look it up. There's an F1, McLaren F1. The McLaren F1 sold last weekend at RM Auction in Pebble Beach. All in with the 30, with the 10% VIG, it went for about $35 million. So now we have, - Wow. - Now we have some apples to apples. Jay paid, Jay paid 800 grand for his in like, in like 94 or something. But 800 grand in 94 was a lot of money for a car. You know what I mean? But he's got a McLaren F1, 93 or 94. He just paid retail for it. Bought it new, sitting around, still sitting there. And this one was sold by Nick Mason, the drummer from, oh shit, Dark Side. Dark Side of the Moon. You got it. - Pink Floyd. - Pink Floyd drummer. - Yeah, Pink Floyd. - All right. This one has a little more of an interesting story and maybe a little more exotic than Jay's. So let's just go, this one sold for 35. Jay, yours is worth between 25 and 30 or something like that. You know, we know what it is. There's no version of this with OJ's Bronco. - No. - Obviously, but what is, is the Dillinger car, is that like the most famous automobile or is the OJ Bronco the most famous? - I think the OJ Bronco is the most famous automobile in America today, just as a curiosity piece. It's not worth what these Ferraris are worth, but I can't think of another car, unless you can, that is more, that fascinated America like that. - Yeah. - You know, will you ever forget the night that that happened and where you were and watching that whole thing? I was at a bar, I was at a dive bar watching a basketball game. - Yeah. - And getting fucked up and all of a sudden, we're not, up in one screen's the basketball game and we're watching Al Cowling's drive. - Yeah. - And so. - Yeah, and I remember, I remember where it was and I remember when it was. - Where were you? - I was. Because working as a boxing coach. at a place called Bodies in Motion on the west side off of Pico. Let's see, was that 94 or 93? When was that low-speed chase? 94. Oh, 94. Must have been early. When was it in 94? Well, you should know. It was back, I know this, the NBA Finals. The NBA was going on because I was at Mills Avenue Liquors drinking Maker's Mark and a splash of Coke. And all of a sudden, it's on, and we quit watching the game, and we watched OJ. Knicks versus Rockets, June 17, 1994. June 17, 1994, I had just made one pinky toe into the door of show business. I had just met Jimmy Kimmel two months earlier, and he had just got me on to the local radio station. I was not yet being paid. But I was doing bits, comedy bits, on Kevin and Bean, on K-Rock Radio in Los Angeles. So it was literally the very beginning of the beginning of my show business career was right when that was going off. That reminds me, I had a bar in Orlando called Zuma Beach, and we used to have a guy that used to come down and do live remotes in front of our bar. His name was Larry the Cable Guy. Yes. Dan Whitney. And he would do live remotes in front of Zuma Beach, and now, you know, he's gigantic. Yeah, that's how we started in radio. And back then, you would do. I've done, like, live remotes and been at the Big O Tire Place in Burbank, California, and all that kind of stuff. It also seems like a dream. It's like we were living in a different civilization back then. It's the best part because, I say this all the time, the journey is a reward. When you look back, you're going to be a lot more interested in the climb than when you got to the mountain. The climb is the joy. Yeah. You know, the climb. And the guy that ran the place for me is a comedian. Do you know a guy named Sam Filippo out in Vegas? Yeah, I know the name. Yeah, he had these bonkers comedy clubs, and Drew Carey used to crash on his, I mean, he was, all these great comics would come through and stay on Joe's couch, in Orlando, Florida, and perform at bonkers comedy club at the effing Holiday Inn. Well, I definitely, so, yeah, everyone sort of has a, I remember where I was when the OJ low-speed chase took place. And I'll tell you who has the craziest story about that. And you must know about the whole David Hasselhoff pay-per-view story. Oh, yeah. Yeah, David Hasselhoff, I think, like a pay-per-view concert from the wall in Berlin or something. And he had it all planned out, and nobody tuned in because he claims, and this, in your business, you can call this plausible deniability. I don't know who would have tuned in anyway, but he says all eyes went to the OJ low-speed chase, and nobody watched my pay-per-view. Exactly. And then the next question is, where were you when Princess Diana died? I know where I was. I was sitting at the, I mean, there's certain times in our life, OJ, Princess Diana, JFK, you're probably too young for JFK, but we all have those, when the rocket blew up in Florida. Yes, yes, yes. I mean, there's certain times, certain moments that we all remember where we were when that happened. Yeah, 9-11, I remember. 9-11, oh, yeah. I have two distinct 9-11, memories. I was working late-night radio, and so I would go to bed at 2 a.m., and I'd get up at 9.30 or 10, and I just woke up and literally checked my answering machine, as we had back then, and it was just my stepmom, no one in my immediate family, but my stepmom called, and she just left a message saying, turn on the TV set. That's all she said. And me, being a narcissist, I thought, oh, am I on TV? Like, maybe she's telling me I'm on some TV show or something, and I just went and turned the TV on. And the next thing, the other thing I remember from 9-11 is I had something to do in the West Valley, which was really far away from where I lived, and it was a Ventura freeway all the way out there, and I was driving a BMW M3 that was souped up, and I was like, today, I speed. I'll go 125, there'll be no one on the freeway, and there'll be no such thing as a cop handing out a speeding ticket today. Everyone's on tactical alert, they're all going to the airport. It's like nothing from nothing equals nothing today. You're right. So today is the day for speeding. By the way, to your point, the week after 9-11, I flew to New York City, and people said, are you crazy? And I said, look, if there's one day that the plane is not going to be blown up, I think it's going to be today. Yes. And I went to ground zero with some friends whose office looked right out at the whole thing. I was down there when they were carrying out bodies. I was in the pit of 9-11, but on that flight out, Adam, I was the only passenger on a big, big Delta plane. I flew out less than two weeks later to New York as well with the same basic thought, which is whatever it is they're going to try next, it's not going to be the one they tried last because we prepare. Right. They bring a shoe bomb on, then we outlaw shoes. That's how we were. We're reactive. We're not proactive. Exactly. I remember. Scanning bodies. I remember very, all I remember from that flight, as I was flying out with Jimmy Kimmel, we're sitting in first class. He we're flying out for Hugh Hefner's roast, Comedy Central Roast in New York City. He was on the aisle and I was against the window. And the thing I always remember about that flight is as we're like taxing and pushing off from the gate, Jimmy just turns to me and he goes, my head's going to be on a swivel. I see anyone coming down that aisle with a beard looking swarthy, looking at anything. I'm tackling that son of a bitch. He ain't getting near that. He's not getting near the cockpit. I go, all right, good for you. And by the way, I thought like that for many years after that. Well, I mean, I was, I didn't sleep. I didn't sleep anymore. Well, you missed the punchline because as we're taking off, I looked at Jimmy and he was fast asleep. He was literally passed out before we even got into the air. It's called ambient. Yeah. So I remember one time too, this is funny to me. He said, well, you got to eat like, uh, I got a pot brownie, eat the pot brownie. You don't get the air sickness and you go to bed cause he would get air sick, you know? So he'd go, uh, I got the brownie. You want some pot brownie? I'll go, yeah, I'll try some pot brownie. He's eating the pot brownie, but he's got like a napkin over his head. You know, he's like, he's, he's pulled the shirt up and he's eating a pot brownie. I go, Jimmy, it's just a brownie according to them. But if you do it with the napkin over your head, then they think it's a pot brownie. You, you can't hide eating a pot brownie. You just have to make them think it's a brownie. But if you do it the way you're doing it, now it seems like there's pot in the brownie. My brownie stories sort of like it goes like this. When I first started doing gummies to sleep, I would take these gummies and I was early on. And so the first couple of times I did, I was really got fucked up and now I got to get upstairs at the, I'm at the beach chair. So I got to get up the stairs. So all the way to the stairs, cause I'm kind of unsteady. I go into the kitchen and I bring out some chocolate ice cream and I start eating ice cream very fast out of the, out of the thing. That's what the bottle there. That's okay. So I'm just like, just so now I'm staggered up the stairs. I'm thinking I'm almost crawled up the stairs because I was worried about standing. I get upstairs. I don't even go in and take my aspirin. I just fall in bed and collapse the next morning. I'll wake up. I've forgotten everything that's happening. I look at my pillow and my pillow, my pillow is covered in blood brown blood and red blood is good blood. Brown buds. But I like, holy shit, I have cancer. I'm dying. Guess what? I didn't brush my teeth. It was the chocolate ice cream dripping off into the motherfucking pillow case. I've never been so happy to be changing a pillow case in my life. So that's my brownie story. I do. I'd like to write a coffee table book called fucked up people for you. And I've never been so happy to be changing a pillow case in my life. I'm the only person who's ever changed a pillow case in my life. Then I open the fridge and you're like, who the fuck ate my Mexican food? And then at some point it dawns on you. A few years ago, I'm in Montana with the governor, Steve Bullock, Jim Messina, who ran Obama's campaign, and we go out and get fucking trashed. we're going to a football game. They all start talking about the tacos that we ate the night before. None of us had any recollection of eating tacos in Missoula, Montana. And to this day, I told Messina, I said, if you ever write a memoir, you gotta write about the tacos in Missoula because no recollection. But if you wanna write that book, let's me and you do it together. - Fucked up memories of eating. The bummer part is when you get up the next day to eat your Mexican food leftovers, not only are they gone and you go, who stole my Mexican food? You realize, oh, I fucking ate these empty calories before I went to bed. - Yes, and listen, last night I had some spaghetti and veal Parmesan. I left the spaghetti and I always tell my kids, I love to eat leftover dinner for breakfast and I call it, when I eat Italian, I call it mafia cereal. - Right. - So this morning, I did have my gummies last night, but this morning I woke up at like six hungry and I went down and had a plate of mafia cereal. - I agree. - It's the best. It's the best. And why do people make bacon and eggs breakfast? Why can't we have tacos for breakfast? Why can't we have spaghetti and veal Parmesan? Who made that the breakfast food? - I agree. And it's one of the great things about being an adult is eating food out of order. 'Cause when you're a kid, you have to eat the breakfast with the breakfast time and the lunch with the lunch time and the dinner with the dinner time and dessert with the dessert time. But when you become an independent adult, you can eat food out of order and it's fucking fine. - What about this for order? My brother, he eats in sections. In other words, if he has roast beef, potatoes and peas, he eats the roast beef first, he then eats the potatoes and then the peas. I've actually seen him eat the dessert first. Who are these people and why does that happen? - They should be executed. You're taking all the majesty out of eating. The best part of eating is like when you're eating Chinese food and you get some rice and a little sweet and sour pork and then a little vegetable. It all makes it in one glorious symphony onto one spoon. - Yes. - A fork. I know these guys, they eat, it's like all peas, then all potatoes, then all beef. It's like the best is when you get a couple of peas stuck to the mashed potatoes, little au jus and a little beef all in one. I don't know who these people are. - And the peas in the gravy boat of the mashed potatoes. You got to have it all in there. - I don't know if this guy's worse, but I travel, the country with Mike August and his thing, we should hook him up with your brother. He does the opposite. He has to take it all and chop it all up and turn it into one huge salad, which also kind of fucks it up for me. - Oh yes. - He cuts up all the beef. It's all gets everything all chopped up and puts it all together, which sounds like an argument for what we're arguing for, but some reason it ruins it as well. And it's annoying to watch. And I would be annoyed eating dinner with your brother watching him separately eat everything. - But by the way, there's no better breakfast than leftover Chinese food. - You're 100% correct. - None, none. Low, low, cold, low main. - Yes. - Cold, low main. - One, 100, 100%. And it's good. Listen, I was out car week. We went out and did a fancy thing with dinner and you know, lots of finger food and all this stuff. All this kind of shit. And we got home back to the Airbnb and there was Chinese food leftover. Oh yeah. I got into that, but I did. I had a funny thing. I was speaking of food. I'm glad you brought it up. So I went to a real high end dinner event, a party thing, Zach Brown, the team, the guy runs the F1 team for McLaren invited me. And this was a kind of a who's who thing. There's, you know, Tom Brady's over there. Jim Farley who runs Ford is over here. Jimmy Johnson, NASCAR great is over there. The Dario Franchitti F1 guy or whatever. They're all, it's a, it's a who's who of dudes in cars, probably except for Brady, to be honest. But I'm standing with the owner of the house who's putting the party on and he runs Oracle. I think he runs Oracle. He's just Ellison Ellison. No, it's not. Okay. It's not Oracle. It's the other one. God damn it. I don't have to figure it out. It's a guy like that big Silicon Valley, blah, blah, blah. I'm staying with him. And of course it's California. It's Northern California. It's Monterey. So the menu is all these finger foods. And it's like, would you like a barbecued carrot with barbecue sauce on it? And we're like, how about ribs? Oh, we just did the carrot. I'm good. This is four bean succotash. It's four bean succotash and a little cup. And he's trying to pass this shit around. At some point the dude owns a house goes, do we have food? Do we have like stuff like beef I can eat? They go, well, we have this chicken with a little cilantro and a little, and some grated cabbage. And he goes, just give me a bunch of chicken. Just go back there. Yeah. And just go get me a bunch of chicken and put it on one plate and bring it back. And the guy's like, yes, sir, I'll do that. It's so weird. It's like, what is nothing is better. I've left dinners like that driven straight to five guys from the dinner, from the dinner, got a five guys, which is probably the best hamburger is, you know, and when you order French fries at five guys. You get a trash bag. You can't eat the, if you, if you try to eat the French fries all week long, I don't know how they even make money with all the French fries, but I've left places gone to five guys, got the burger, got the fries, gone home and had my meal. They're literally handing out little cups of five bean succotash. And I'm like, I don't know what this shit is, but I want some fucking chicken fingers or nachos. By the way, I just got back from Switzerland and Lake Como and all that. Our guide kept trying to put us in Michelin restaurants. I said, listen, never put this Kentucky boy in a Michelin starred restaurant cause all Michelin food tastes like shit. Yes. Shit. Pure shit. I was in Napa. I was in Napa with Jimmy and a bunch of other guys. We're doing the same shit. Foodie Napa shit. First off, one thing came on a big pad of rock salt and Jimmy's cousin Sal started to eat the rock salt. He didn't know what it, what it was. Number one, you never get full up cause they just keep bringing out little bits and pieces of food in 13 courses. You want it all together. That's number one. Number two, I ordered veal. I ordered veal Parmesan and it came in a white sauce and I was like, where's the red sauce? And like, we do it this way. And I was like, I don't want white sauce. I want gravy. I want red sauce. And by the way, there's nothing less broken than spaghetti and veal Parmesan or pounded chicken. I want, I want, I want a cube steak fried with onions. I want fried potatoes. I want cabbage out of a pressure cooker. I want biscuits and iced tea. That's all I want. I don't need the Michelin. When I was over in Switzerland. I just kept eating schnitzel. I said, I don't, I don't need to have one place. They had a, just a tomato and a stalk of, of, of a celery stalk coming out of it. I thought it was like a weapon that you had to throw the, throw the grenade. I mean, I don't even know what to do. And now, and they brought that at the end of the meal, that was a salad, a tomato with a celery stalk sticking straight up. I agree. Do not. No Michelin for no Michelin for John. What I realized John is I don't like highfalutin. I like lowfalutin. You give me some lowfalutin food and here's the deal in and out. I don't want your version of huevos rancheros. I want fucking huevos rancheros and I, you can make the best version of huevos rancheros, but you can't make your version of huevos rancheros, whatever, whatever it is, you make the best version. I don't want your version. Not your own version. I don't want your own take or a new invention or imagination on we've taken a turn and do now, now you do lasagna. You do the best lasagna. You can do. How about this? Do you like fruit in your main food? Like I don't want pear. I don't want pears in my salad even I don't want, I don't want strawberries on the, no, no place. I, and that, that's the other thing too. It's like. Yeah. You can make the best coleslaw. You can make good fried chicken. Yes. Good luck out doing the kernel fried chicken. You can't beat it. you can't beat it i don't want bits of green apple and golden raisins and cashews what about what about this one grapes in your chicken salad i'm not either but a lot of people like grapes and their chicken salad you know i don't want food i don't want fruit in my food i want to eat the food no fruit the food i i don't know like we used to order oatmeal cookies and then someone started putting um cranberries in the fucking oatmeal cookies like here's what i want to say oatmeal cookies were never broken that you don't need to fix oatmeal cookies they're good never as they were where uh dawson do you have that lady who is always we always play on thanksgiving when uh the black woman because i i think john it will will echo her sentiment exactly thanksgiving this shit comes around you have to just make the best version of everything traditional don't make your own stuffing with uh salmon in it and golden raisins let me let me take it a step further ahead first there's the premise turkey tastes like shit tell me any time in your life you've ever gone to a restaurant and ordered turkey tell me any time you've ever gone and ordered turkey yet on thanksgiving we're going to eat turkey what is turkey turkey's a buzzard turkey tastes like shit and then we take stale bread and we stick it up the turkey's ass and we put it and then we put it in the oven and then with it and then it comes out and we bring this jar called cranberries that tastes like shit too and then we pour cranberry on the turkey with the bread stuck up the turkey's ass and on the most famous the most festive day of the year we're going to eat turkey and then we're going to eat the bread stuck up the turkey and then we're going to eat the bread stuck up the turkey's ass and on the most festive day of the year we eat food that we would never ever order in a restaurant under any set of circumstances if you come to the morgan household you will be eating roast beef and baked potatoes with butter and sour cream and chives and green beans but turkey should be abolished the only way turkey works is on a sandwich with a shitload of mayonnaise i'm with you my brother by the way you sound like a democratic socialist from wisconsin about now no no no no no fucking no no no all right i'm making a joke because they don't like thanksgiving over there all right i will play this woman from 10 years ago i love thanksgiving i just say turkey tastes like shit here we go we told you don't put that shit in the macaroni but you insist on putting it so since you won't do things your damn way we're gonna do shit our way we get ready to go upstairs and go to sleep while you clean up all this shit for thanksgiving happy thanksgiving we love you but guess what this shit ain't fair that we couldn't even get a decent thing of macaroni cheese we got a way to go back to goose but he came in to make us some damn macaroni and cheese because you decided to do some bullshit you didn't see it off the damn internet don't experiment on damn thanksgiving don't yes you're right you're right because you saw you saw mac and cheese but this one had a cream cheese glaze on it and they use pecans and they cut up green grapes i don't like i don't like nuts either in food it's all a distraction it's all unnecessary i'll tell you this whatever she's cooking i'm eating yes i agree

can't you know who you know who i'm doing deals with i've built a set of attraction called downtown flavor town it's guy fieri guy fieri meets uh dave and busters and i've opened one up in pigeon forge and one in myrtle beach and uh so come into a city near you you know i had this idea a million years ago and you're probably just the guy to pitch it to i wanted to pitch a place called home court and it was just basically food from your how you grew up so you'd have a white castle across from an in and out across from a permantes or something in pittsburgh across from whoever makes the z man in kansas city like all the places because i grew up in southern california and i'd all the guys who are comedians and all that come in from different places and they'd go you never tried white castle i go no i'm from la we don't have a white castle i'll go you ever try in and out they go we didn't have in and out we had white castle you know i want to do a home court where it was all the different places it's funny it's funny you say that because years ago we must be related somehow because years ago i had this idea that there's i'd go to this one place in orlando called enzo's and all i would get is the bucatini that's all i wanted and i'd go to this other place and i'd get the dover soul and my idea for the restaurant was it was home court but it was all the best meal best dishes from about 20 restaurants in our area right right because that's all you need that's all you need yeah you know you don't you don't you know you go you go to hillstone and you get the uh the

You can leave us a message at 888-634-1744. Yeah, Andrew's here. Andrew's got a bunch of news. I got stuff I want to talk about as well. There was a politician who was reading a poem, and I'm, I don't know, enamored with, like, you know, like, people give land acknowledgments and stuff. I'm like, God, you don't, but I kind of feel the way about, I feel that way about guys driving around with their windows down and just cranking music. I'm like, it doesn't bother you what an asshole you are. You know, like, is there any kind of self-reflection going on? By the way, the stereo cranked up and the windows down, no more excuses, because every, every car has air conditioning. Now, you used to have plausible deniability. It was, it's hot, and I don't have air conditioning, and I, I like the Doobie Brothers. But now there is no, you know what they need? I'll tell you what'll work. You want the window down. You want to crank your music. You want everyone to fucking hear your shitty music. You need a fake cigarette to put in your left hand and hang, hang out the window. So at least I'll look at you and go, well, he's smoking. Put that on the invention list. Put that on the cigarettes for loud music. You know, another one I got, what's that? Car air freshener with a handicap placard built in. So it's like a handicap placard that smells like a Christmas tree and it's shaped like one too. You know, make it fun, dress it up a little. That's an injury. You have a disability, but why not smell? Why not the van with the, why not lifting it? Why shouldn't it smell good? Two birds, one stone. That's right. Probably you're probably on, you're probably hooked up to a bag or a catheter or something too. Like there's reason that that van's got more smell going on. You know, you have a bed sore, it's infected. You have, you know what I'm saying? The air freshener mixed with the handicap placard and we'd shape it like the old Christmas tree air freshener. Yeah. That's a winner. Thank you. Still have a Christmas tree air freshener in the Versa. Agua Florida. Ponce de Leon haunting the fountain of youth at a genocide theme park. The smudge of the Timucua people slaughter we water. Where voodoo priests, santeras, and shamans pontificate premonitions and prescribe spiritual baths for mal de ojo. How I-95 cut Miami like a fresh wound. Calling the place you want to wrap, Raisha? I love it. Yeah, she's from Florida. I had, there's something going on. There's too many women in politics. There's too many women in positions. There's too many women in positions of power. That was a stuffed apartment too. We're fucking everything up. Just talking to Dr. Drew about this. This is my next revelation. My next unpopular thought is the gyno-fascism stuff. Los Angeles is just run by dumb women and they've ruined it. And it's essentially this notion that we need more women in positions of power is destroying the fucking country. Another, again, it makes everyone angry, but you know, whatever I said about COVID made people angry. Doesn't mean it wasn't correct. I shall be correct on this one as well. It's happening and it's going to happen. I tell people all the time, they go like, well, yeah, but what about Margaret Thatcher? Or what about Andrew's mom? They're not that way. I mean, she toasts his sandwich bread. She toasts my sandwiches. She teaches at, she teaches in med school. I know. It's the same. This is the same as saying, well, yeah, what about the, the black kid who never met his father who ended up at Princeton? Yeah. Okay. I'm not saying it doesn't happen. I'm saying statistically it's a shit show. And that's where we're heading with the gyno-fascism. You're a statistical, you're a statistical outlier. I'm an outlier. You are an outlier yourself. I lay out. You do. I'm a liar and I'm out. I think what worried me most about that video was that she was recording that to present it. And I mean, the framing was, I don't, she didn't know. I don't know where her camera was. Andrew's a film file and he takes umbrage and a shot that's not well set up. You got to center up that frame, your apartment stuff. So you filled with books. It's too many books. Too many books. What do you, what would you say? The percentage of those books were actually read or. I don't even think they're real books. I think they're styrofoam. They're from Ikea. When you get, when you buy, you know, we go to Ikea and you look at bookshelves. Yeah, they just got a whole rack of fake books. She probably bought those at Ikea. I don't think any of those books have pages or anything in them. Some of them maybe hollowed out and that's where you keep your gun or your cash or something like that. But they're mostly styrofoam books. Yeah, that was a, it was a stuff department. There was a partition to like turn one room into two. That's not a good sign. You don't want that. Oh, the partition room. That's not. Yeah. All right. So now other things to get to, I don't know, things bother me. I was watching a JP Morgan commercial. It was a kind of a white savior thing. It was Jalen. What's his name? Guy's getting all trouble with his number. Chuck, what's his name? Jalen Daniels. Jalen Daniels. That's right. He wants LSU to like retire his number. And, uh, he sent a cease and desist letter, right? He wants to get paid, you know, they don't want any likeness. Or name used or anything like that, but Simo. So it seems kind of douchey, but simultaneously he's in a JP Morgan commercial. Now he's on the Redskins now. Yes. I'll call them the Redskins since they don't care. Uh, this is white middle-aged women who don't watch football, who seem to care the most about when they're called the senators or the Redskins or the nationals or the fuck the chiefs or whatever the fuck we're calling them. But anyway, um, fucking white middle-aged chicks are not going to rest until everything that was is undone and fucked up. It could be a statue. It could be something with car tires or it could be the name of a football team. It's like they won't fucking rest until we undo everything that was also no mention of the fighting Irish that just slides under the radar. Yeah. Well, I mean the Seminoles, uh, the Seminole tribe like gets paid in Florida and they like it. But anyway, I, I don't, let me explain something. Naming your team after a group is the reason there's no tree sloths in the NFL is because we don't, we don't worship the tree sloth. Um, when you dress up as I did, when I dress up as a Mr. T for Halloween, that's not blackface. That's me showing love to Mr. T. That's respect for Mr. T. Yeah. So all the Indian names and the warriors and all that kind of stuff, that's all an homage to that group. Okay. So the commercial, I don't know. We have the commercial. We have the commercial right here. By the way, did you hear about that story about two kids from Ireland that literally this is in the early eighties, they just left their house and basically hitched a ride to New York to find Mr. T. Oh, really? Yeah. That sounds like fun. That sounds like a movie. Yeah. It just showed, it popped up on my feed and I was just like, Mr. T, that guy just commanded love from everybody. Yes. All right. So this commercial is for JP Morgan. Plus also kids used to do shit. Oh my God. They basically were stowaways on a ferry and a plane. Um, you go to Jay Leno's garage and you'll walk past the McLaren F1 for 30, more 30 million bucks and all the Lamborghini Muras worth 5 million bucks and everything. And he'll take you right to this little rickety three wheel cart with like a lawnmower engine in it. That looks like it was, you know, put together in a junkyard. And he's like, this kid, he built this when he was 15 and he drove it across America. It's his greatest. And it's worth Chuck. Can you find that story? Irish kids, Mr. T. It is worth. It is the least valuable thing in Jay Leno's garage, but it's the most valuable to Jay. All right. Let me see Jay Lynn. Sorry. Different, different Jay. He's with his JP Morgan. Telling me dumb memory lane. Oh. When I first met Jayden, you know, he was still in school and you could tell that he was special. My mom introduced us and, you know, we kind of just hit it off from the jump. When we opened up his first account, it was pretty modest, but from the get go, it's all about education. I'm still learning at 25, asking questions and being a lot more present in those type of conversations. A little white savior thing going on. It's been there from the beginning. That's all right. And it's been nothing but a blessing. All right. JP. So people say, Adam, what's the angle? What's the beef? What's going on? So what? Guy helped out. Young black guy. Got him started early. This whole thing is about financial literacy. Maybe it's to impress black folk to maybe, you know, buy a few less rims for themselves. the Denali and start saving for college or dental work or they don't spend the money on lottery tickets or things of that nature in this commercial when they sit down with him and they do their one-on-one he's wearing two huge diamond earrings one on the right and one on the left ear the last thing your financial advisor would ask you to do with your money is waste it on fucking huge diamond earrings which these days will get you killed walking your dog but also a huge waste of money and so you got to watch out for the portable expensive stuff there's that's yes yeah they're doing a commercial for wealth management and financial literacy and the guy who's giving you the talk is wearing two huge diamond earrings at 25 that money could have gone into anything and it would be better spent but here's all i'm saying andrew you've been on the set i've been on the set i'd just be standing there and i'd go uh jalen those are great earrings can we just take them off for this shot where we're talking about financial literacy and then as soon as we're wrapped you can put them back on and put the grill back in do whatever put the diamond show me that one more time when he's talking the camera he's also wearing a diamond necklace too it's all stuff that'll get young black dudes killed but also not something you're your financial advisor would advise you against buying diamond earrings and for some reason they were out okay when he was practicing on the football field the diamonds were out of his ears because he's on the field but stop but soon as he soon as he sat down the diamonds went back in to talk about financial responsibility i'm saying now i don't know if that's a diamond necklace he's got on too i would just say this is me if i was holding the boom mic andrew i would say don't you think we should get the diamonds out of the guy's ears when he's talking about financial literacy see i would i would love a version of this commercial where you're the financial planner and you're like hey man you gotta start buying pete brock cars now what are you doing it's a good point this jp morgan guy yeah jp morgan guy looks like he looks like a dude that brags about getting texts from like famous people yeah he's like hey jayden just texted me no big deal this is saying what's up yeah he's had uh yeah the jp morgan guy has a little white savior thing going on and also looks like he's had a little bit of work yeah he's had work he's had work maybe a little botox can we go back to that guy let's take a look i don't trust that guy he also looks like what the hell what's your take on on dudes getting cosmetic work you don't like veneers no i i don't or this guy works out yeah um look he's that he's wearing a lot of makeup right now i get guys who are on camera wanting to look good on camera i get it and by the way you know all these chicks and all these dudes who are 25 they go i would never get yeah turn fucking 60 and see what you look like yeah you know what i mean see your fucking hairline receding big dark circles under your eyes and shit and see yourself on tv and then go yeah okay i get it um there is a thing where it's like no judgment i would get it you get your veneers done you get your hair done um i don't i don't like it because you take away whatever genetic advantage the other person had like i have a full head of hair for an old dude yeah and that's like one of my few genetic advantages over and you guys you just canceled my genetic advantage that i had over you sunk your battleship dude yeah meanwhile you got amazing calves and i've fucking got skinny calves and that's your genetic advantage you know and you know it's kind of it's kind of the hair plug is kind of the boob job i here's what i would say for dudes hair plug may not be a boob job but a hair plug and veneers is the equivalent of a boob job maybe more so maybe more so let's say it adds up to that um all right so anyway uh chuck did you find that those irish kids oh yeah all right in august 1985 two dublin boys 10 year old keith burn and 13 year old murray ran away from home with no money or passports to find their idol mr t they snuck onto a ferry to wales took a train to london and walked onto a flight to new york wow back when you can do shit that jesus dudes did shit dudes being dudes oh man god bless those 10 year old kids it's all safety now it's all it's all safety all right um the other thing i wanted to uh get into let's see um i don't know why don't we why don't you hit a news story and then i'll i'll get back into it oh man here we go uh you know what happened last week was the first debate for two mayoral candidates karen

where karen bass and nithya raman are fighting over a basically goes after nithya raman for um missing tons of votes this is clash of the tardens by the way because they're both fucking retarded and

combination between a sandwich You basically have a choice between a shit sandwich and a snot sandwich, basically. That's who these two bitches are. So good fucking luck, Los Angeles. No fucking idea why we feel like it's a good idea. And also, it's 2026. It's like, she's a woman of color. Yeah, we did it. We did it. It's done. It's done. Women of color. Turns out they fuck up cities just as fast as rich white dudes do. And I would say faster, on average. I watched some of these clips last night. I would give the advantage to our current mayor, I think. Well, Nithya's, I mean, she's a communist, and she's got a fucking 10-cent head. Karen Bass is something closer to not completely inept, but either way. All right. Is there more to this, by the way? Yeah, we've got another clip underneath this. Is there more to this clip? Sorry, I didn't know. Yeah, sorry. Let's watch a little more of this clip, then. Yeah, I mean, we all miss you. We all miss you. We all miss you. Oh, man. She has no support from the council members because nobody can work with her. That is a problem. She did it, but people don't want to be on her committee. As a matter of fact, your committee met today. You called the meeting today. It was your last meeting, and you didn't even show up to it. By the way, what? Did they go to Compton or something? This is Sherman Oaks. Sherman Oaks. Sherman Oaks. Real Housewives of Sherman Oaks. These are white people going, oh, you didn't. Like, that can't be. This can't be white. This is not. I don't know. White chicks are going crazy, too. All right. Yeah, this was Sherman Oaks. Sherman Oaks. Last Wednesday. All right. Keep playing it. Sorry. Yeah, they must have bust in some blacks. I learned from council members, and I think there's one in our audience now. People can't work with you. You can't manage your committee, but yet you want to manage the city. You have a lot of aspirations in what you say you are going to do, but you have been in city hall twice as long as I have, and I'm not sure what your accomplishments are. Well, now, hold on. Let's be fair. She got those no U-turn signs taken down in the gay village. dude, dudes could cruise once again and suck off strangers in a hedge in front of people's houses. So she did do that. And then, hold on, there's more. Well, she got angry at Toyota. That didn't turn into a lot, but okay. But she sent a message. She fired a shot over Toyota's bow about not putting their catalytic converters in shark cages and welding them to the underside of the car. And you forget her district is where the treehouse was. She got the treehouse torn down. So she tore down that treehouse that everyone in the neighborhood loved, and she got rid of the U-turn sign so gay dudes could blow each other on people's lawns. Yeah, this debate, same neighborhood as the old tree fort, and now it's gone. God, it is my fault for that beloved 25-year-old treehouse that got torn down in Sherman Oaks because I was driving through that neighborhood looking at like a rental house after getting displaced in Malibu, and I looked at this rental, and I was literally driving back, and I looked up, and there it was. It was like half a block over, and I could see it. And I looked at it, and I just went, I can't fucking believe the city let them do that. And that was like on a. Sunday and by Wednesday, it was gone. Yeah, it had been there for 25 years. All it took was me stopping and going, I can't believe the city let them do that. By the way, that's build a treehouse on your own property on your front lawn. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. So there were a lot of barbs back and forth here. Rahman went after Bass for Inside Safe saying, this mayor has spent $400 million on Inside Safe and refused audits. Oh, yeah. So they can't really. Check to see if it worked. Well, I can check and see if it worked. It didn't work. Everyone is still out. Everybody's outside. Everyone's outside. All right. We got a clip. Let's see. Oh, here we go. When I was Speaker of the House, you were nowhere. Even when it came time to vote for the entertainment industry, you walked on votes. As a matter of fact, I believe you have missed several thousand votes because you don't show up to work. I'm sorry. I have to be able to respond to that. I mean, this mayor, I think she knows. Have you missed several thousand votes? Yeah. I mean, we all miss days of council. We all miss days of council. Stop. That's great. Sorry I missed several thousand days of work last year. And we all miss work. Come on, man. You're being accused of missing thousands of votes and you don't have a rebuttal to thousands of votes? Yeah. Okay. Well, she's a dope, too, who went to Harvard. By the way. You can play it. Sorry. But she knows, as well as I do, that I have had regular absences because I've been appointed to external boards that lead me to miss regular council meetings because these bodies that I've been appointed to by the previous mayor, by this mayor, sometimes conflict with our council days. On homelessness, Rahman went after Bass's signature program Inside State, which she has called too expensive and nasty. This mayor has spent $400 million on Inside Safe, refused audits. On the LAPD, Bass blamed Rahman's vote against increasing the size of the department for the issues facing recruiting. You have a lot of nerve talking about the hiring of police officers when we finally reached the point where we had a decent-sized class and you voted against it, which was the reason we couldn't have the class. It passed, by the way. It did pass. You still voted against it. Against it. I voted for budgets that have maintained and even expanded our police force. What I have voted against. All right, pause for a second. I was just talking to Drew about this police force. Here's what I want everyone to understand all the time from this day forward. People take advantage of every single system and opportunity system that is afforded them, and that's why we have to get rid of stuff. We keep relying, you know, oh, these Somalis, what'd they do? Or these people, like, well, who would say, your kid has on the spectrum for Down syndrome. And if you get an extra $1,400 a month from the state, then everyone does it, right? Don't believe me? Okay. Cops. Cops in L.A. had a system. Cops are in charge of enforcing the law. You know what we did with cops in L.A.? And I think we got rid of it, but I'm not sure. I think it was called DROP or something like that. We basically had a system where LAPD, you can retire at 55, get full benefits and full pay, and then immediately get re-signed to work as an officer for LAPD at 55. Thus, you get two paychecks now. You get your retirement paycheck, which is full fund, and you get the paycheck of working full-time as LAPD officer. And guess what? They all did it. Yeah. Are they criminals? No! You offered something, and they took advantage of what you offered. And that's how life works. And my thing is, is you can't get angry at the cops who take advantage of what you let them take advantage of. You can't offer it. You don't want people to buy Jack in the Box with Snap. You have to make Jack in the Box not take Snap or Coke. You have to fucking do all of it because everyone now, I'm convinced, is a wild animal, and society's just a fucking dumpster, and we need to shut the lid and put a padlock on it. Otherwise, it's going to be nothing but bears and dumpsters. Yeah, society's basically Bill Belichick. They will break rules that haven't been written yet. They are Smokey Eunuch. That's basically it. Speaking of. Hold on. You know who Smokey Eunuch is? Smokey Eunuch. No. Man, I can't believe. I can't believe a guy. Who drives the kind of equipment you drive, Andrew. Look up Smokey Eunuch. Okay. Smokey Eunuch and the definition of Smokey Eunuch. Smokey Eunuch was an engineer genius who basically did NASCAR and was always getting accused of bending the rules all the time. They had to make tons of. They had to make tons of rules because Smokey Eunuch was always getting around the rules and his cars were going faster than the other guys. So Smokey Eunuch is even more than Belichick, but Belichick, same way, same difference. Everyone's just going to do what they can do. Smokey built cars, and he fucking did every bullshit rule he could get around. He got around. And they even invented the NASCAR template, that they put on top of the car to see the shape of the car and stuff like that because of Smokey Eunuch. His philosophy was simple. If you ain't cheating, you ain't trying. Good for him. And that's what Smokey Eunuch did. All right, sorry. Well, speaking of if you're not cheating, you're not trying. How good a name is fucking Smokey Eunuch? That is a great. That's a good. It sounds made up. I was worried it was a movie character from a film that I hadn't seen yet and you would take me to task. No, but a guy who drives a Versa, a four-door Versa like you, should know. If we're going to make fun of the Versa on the podcast, I'm going to pin a comment for a GoFundMe to help buff out the dent I've had on the side of my car for the past 10 years. Gets me from Toluca Lake to Glendale to Corolla One. Oh, humble brag. I live in Toluca Lake. Oh, yeah. Yeah. All right, what's the next story? Yeah. The Toluca Lake residents are voting to get rid of my Versa. Yeah, I can see that. Well, speaking of bending the rules here, I'm not sure if this is bending the rules. I just don't know how this is legal. Karen Bass just basically came out with a. We can play this video. Los Angeles will use tax dollars to provide a six-to-one match for every dollar donated to her campaign. Chuck has a video here. I don't know how this is. So whether you like it or not, if you're paying taxes to Los Angeles, you're inadvertently supporting Karen Bass for mayor. Also, she's doing that fucking thing where you put the clip on. Just clip it. Come on, dude. It's a clip on mic. It's not a fucking. You're not Gene Rayburn. Chuck, I'll give you $1,000 to know who Gene Rayburn is. No, I don't get it. Do you know who Gene Rayburn is? Do you know who Smokey Rayburn is? Don't know who Smokey Rayburn is. I don't know who Smokey Rayburn is.

One of the things I love most about the day is that during dinner time when we're all in the kitchen, we love to listen to music and like dance while we eat. I mean, it's probably a bad habit for my kids, but I love it. And we love listening to Amazon music. Like, that's where we go for like our dance sessions around our kitchen counter. But you can also on Amazon listen to podcasts, audiobooks. I've seen that they have Verity. They have A Court of Thorns and Roses, Project Hail Mary, making it easy for you to listen to your favorite books or podcasts. Music, podcasts, audiobooks, all in one app. All right. What else you got? Well, we have some good news. The world's smallest penis patient claims his procedure was a big success. But he still hasn't seen the results. He hasn't seen the results. All right. So this is the story. So Michael Phillips told TMZ that he underwent the operation on Monday in North Carolina where doctors injected his.38-inch member well within the parameters of the micropenis definition with semi-permanent dermal filler to the penis. Chuck, does that look like James Brolin to you? He's a big Amityville horror fan. Well, he grew that beard, man. Nobody looked better in a beard than James Brolin. I saw James Brolin in person once. Breathtakingly handsome. James Brolin. Actually, Chuck, James Brolin was in here, and he was talking about racing Sebring in a Porsche 924. And it's always a funny conversation, but he was like acting at a big hunk at V8, and I was like, that's a straight four. Straight four? I go, yeah, it's a four-seater. It's a 924. It's a fucking V8. So I was correcting him on what his car was. But. Brolin used to race. He raced Sebring and explained to me that at night he hit a pig. Because Sebring was wild west. Pig, wild boars and shit would run across the track. It's a feral pig. A feral pig, and it's a 12-hour race. And he hit a pig at night. And by the way, the dudes of Florida, they cooked that pig up. They got that pig, and they cooked it and fucked his car up badly. But here's what. Here's what I'm saying, Chuck. I was noticing that during the car auctions, there was a 924 race car that was for sale, and then I was reading down on it. It was like, oh, race Sebring in, like, 79. And I was like, that's James Brolin's pig-hitting car that showed up, and I don't know what it fucking sold for. You've got to go. Shit. Where was that? Ah, just. Just put 924 race car Pebble Beach auction sale or something, see if it pops up. Anyway, just reminded me. So anyway, that's either Jesus or James Brolin. You know what I said about the environment and James Brolin? You know what else James Brolin told me? What's that? There's a car guy who doesn't know what size engine's in his 924, but he's a car guy. He said to me. He goes, yeah, I'm a car guy. I go, yeah. He goes, I got a Ford Raptor. The big trophy truck. You know, big haul ass, 500 horsepower, whatever. Big tires, big everything. And I said, yeah. And he goes, and I didn't get the new one. The new one's got the V. Yeah, that's it. The new one, oh, only sold for 375. So, thanks, Chuck. That was fast. Does it say Brolin drove that car? Anyway. So, he goes, I got the Raptor, and I didn't get the new one with the turbocharged V6, and I got the old school one with the big V8 in it. And I was like, oh, okay. And then I realized he lives with Barbara Streisand, and she's all about the environment. And basically what I'm saying is, if Barbara Streisand's husband wants to drive a Raptor, good luck talking everybody into this environmental movement. Because if Barbara Streisand, can't get her fucking husband to get an electric car, but instead he drives a trophy truck, then good fucking luck is what I'm saying. Say anything about James Brolin and the thing? Yes, it was his car. Oh, okay. All right. So, James's pig-hitting car went across the auction blocks and fetched $375,000, which is less than what they, what they anticipated. I thought they were going to get like five to six or something like that. All right. Sorry. What else you got? Well, I'm interested to hear your thought on this. What have you heard about this Lindsay Clancy case? I don't, I don't know. I mean, I hear she, she was, I don't know. Postpartum depression killed three children back in 2020. Back, at least to say, she went postal. They don't say that anymore. Because now, they're all shooting schools. You remember, you remember the term going postal? I remember, I, yes. All right. You know, Jean Rayburn is? Yeah, I know Jean Rayburn. I know going postal. Going postal was, that was when I was a kid. That was the phrase of this guy went postal. Yeah. Yeah. It went nuts. So she went postal. She drowned her three kids and, She jumped out of the window while the husband was at CVS. CVS. CVS. He went to CVS to go pick something up. I know what you told, you say it so fast. I thought he was at CBS, the station. All right. So listen, she's got postpartum and whatever dysphoric, whatever on a million different meds. I, I look, I don't, I look, I feel bad for her. Obviously she took three lives. Um, I know there's a group of women who support her. Is that what's going on? The story is, and we have video. There's more than 200 women gathered in a circle outside the Plymouth trial court in Massachusetts to show support for Lindsay Clancy as her trial continues. 200 women. Um, there looked like some kids in there and, and, and a couple of dudes, but to be fair, when you're like, uh, what are those dudes doing there? Uh, they're trying to get laid is what they're trying to do. They're not down with the cause. They don't even know what the cause is. They're trying to get laid. And by the way, that's good. Their girlfriend runs their, their girlfriend wife runs their life. Just being a little, it's crazy sex with those, those ladies. Cause they're all nuts. All right. Sorry. We'll play. I I'm just, what is the, can I say this? Oh, here's one. Let me say this. Hold on. Yeah. Um, when, when LA was. Shut down during COVID and schools were shut down and people are locked in their house and people being arrested for paddle boarding on the beach and everyone's getting screamed at for not wearing their mask and they were putting fences around my friend's family restaurant. There was a freedom rally in downtown LA and nine people showed up, but some bitch drowns her kids and you get a fucking, you draw a crowd like we can get a fucking crowd out for. For anything except for a freedom rally in a city that's being destroyed by horrible policy and COVID. Nobody showed up at the fucking freedom rally, but you do the women, the women's March. Those bitches don't even know why they're there. And they show up. These are all these women doing. I don't know what their sign is. This is the, uh, they're doing, we got to play this video. This is the heart sign. All right. Oh, that's the heart sign. That's the heart sign. It's all yoked out. It's all, uh, do you remember? I remember the Diddy illustration from the Toronto. Where did he look back and did the heart sign? I know, but these are yoked out heart signs, heart sign. You see somebody doing a heart sign. You got to run in the opposite direction. It's not good. So weak ass heart signs. Can I pause for a second? You know, sometimes terrorists drive a car through a farmer's market or an East or parade or something like that. It's pretty devastating. Yeah. If I found out a terrorist drove through this crowd, I'd, I could be a little sympathetic toward the terrorist. I just want to know what they're like, what they're there. Why, what are they supporting? What do they want to, what do they want to accomplish? There's something going on, Andrew, where people and especially women seem to have an unlimited amount of time to be places like, oh, there's a ice guy over there. I'm just going to go stand in front of his van and start screaming. It's like, doesn't anyone have a fucking job? Is there not places that people have to be? It seems like a lot of women got a lot of time and a lot of weird energy that could be going into a home improvement and things of that nature. All right. What else you got? Well, we got big news. Uh, California democratic, uh, excuse me. The California Democrat legislature formally passed the stop Nick Shirley act, sending it to your pal Newsome, uh, for his, uh, for his signature. It loves it. Yeah. We'll criminalize, uh, Shirley and people like Shirley going around. This is all part of the plan. Like let's lock up the cops, not the criminals. And let's go after the people that are uncovering fraud, not the fraudsters. Let's basically blame the scale for our obesity is essentially where we're at. It's kind of part of the general, their general, their general sort of, uh, raise on debt, which is let's blame tests for bad test scores. Let's blame Nick Shirley for uncovering a bunch of uncomfortable truths, which is your fucking illegal population that you led into this country. He's grifting us now, but we'll play. Very interesting connections with her husband being an attorney general of California. Their goal as a family should be to prosecute. Can you pause it? He's talking about that's Rob Bonta's wife, California Attorney General Rob Bonta's wife, who we'll talk about in our next story. But yeah, she's she's she's spearheading this thing should be to prosecute and take care and make sure that there is so little fraud in the state that they can have such a peaceful night of sleep. However, while the attorney general is supposed to be prosecuting fraud, his wife is creating laws to let fraud continue. They're specifically saying that NGOs who receive money based off immigrant services don't have to disclose their money. And so we know that they use those services to commit fraud. This is basically what they did with the USA stuff, which is like. I know that money is getting fucking funneled off to warlords and shit and your stupid NGOs and your government PACs and all that shit, but you're angry at Elon and Doge. You're angry at him and all that shit, but you're angry at him and all that shit, but you're angry at him. If there's nothing in the trunk, you pop it, he looks, says have a nice day, and get the fuck on with your life. So if you don't want shit audited, there's a reason you don't want shit audited. We have another video because Nick Shirley got into it with the California State Assembly Chief of Staff. Right, who's a dude who is in his 50s. I tweeted out, we'll play it, but I'll tell you what I said. Here we go. Sorry. He's standing outside of the state, whatever. You can just start at the beginning. Mia Bonta, do you think her creating a bill that would make it basically illegal, give someone a $4,000 fine for looking into immigration support service providers? Did you guys hear that Nick Shirley has a small penis, allegedly? That's so adult of you. In his 50s. Did you hear about this? You would never see that. He has a gray beard. Well, I don't know. This is what they're reporting. Hold on a second. This guy's a pole smoker, right? He smokes, Paul. Chuck, I'm not in the community, but is this guy gay? It's not like you've been with every dude. What is this guy's name? State Assembly Chief of Staff. I'm sorry, can we look? We'll look at it. All right, keep playing it. Sorry, you can look it up, but just keep playing it. You can put it on my screen when you find it, Chuck. Well, the reports are wrong. They're reporting. Well, we don't know. Prove me wrong. No, I don't do that. Prove me wrong. It was good enough for Charlie Kirk. So there are news reports happening that Nick Shirley, he has a small penis. Do you have any comment on Nick Shirley's allegedly small penis? He comes out here. Allegedly small penis. It's risky for him to be out here. He could be banned or criminalized. I don't think he's having a small penis. Is that a criminal? Are you going to introduce that legislation to some member? Hey, sir. To ban Nick Shirley's penis? To look at your penis, you'd have to lift up your fat. Terry. You can look at it. Terry Shand. Hold on. Can you play that back? What did he say? He told him to lift his gun top so he could see his hog. He's having a small penis. Is that a criminal? Hey, sir. To ban Nick Shirley's allegedly small penis? To look at your penis, you'd have to lift up your fat to even look at it. So you should work on that before you elect somebody else. He's called a panist, ironically. This guy, Terry Shands. How old is Terry Shands? And this is, by the way, you know what I tweeted? I tweeted, when you were a kid, did you ever think adults would be this way? Like, remember when you were fucking nine and just adults were all these stately, well-mannered people and doctors and lawyers and you go, this guy is an engineer. Ooh, that's, it must be. Oh, he's 48. Oh, Jesus. He's not even 50 yet. He's got a fucking gray beard. He's a fucking, he's a middle-aged man. This is a middle-aged man. I'm assuming gay, but middle-aged man out hassling a guy who's trying to stop. He's twice Nick Shirley's age. He's 24. What is his actual job? He, this guy is the, the chief of staff and he's going out with the P and by the way, does anybody say to these people, I don't know. I don't think there's a good look like printing up Nick Shirley as a small penis thing as a middle-aged dude, especially in a world where we're just, it's all fucking wildfires and homeless and corruption and taxes. Like, shouldn't we in potholes? Like, couldn't we, it's just California state assembly chief. Yeah. By the way, by the way, if you want to know anything about California, that's it. That's our politician. That guy is all you need to know about California politics. That's what he thinks he should be doing. He thinks he should be fighting Nick Shirley instead of Armenians or ripping off the fucking system and buying Bugattis and going on vacation. They will go after a private citizen before, or excuse me, I guess he's a public, like he holds no office. Right. That's, that's, that's, that's literally what it is. He's calling balls and strikes. He's a kid. The weird Charlie Kirk joke where I, I mean, it's just sad because we're in an era where you just basically see people with all the humanity sucked out of them and they basically become ghouls. They're not about fixing anything. They don't give a shit about being in power or whatever response. It's just about staying out of trouble from doing whatever you're doing that you shouldn't be doing. All right. Listen, if you took, if you took California legislators and politicians and you just said, look, I got a secret magic wand and no one will ever know we've ever had this conversation and it'll never be public. But are you glad that Charlie Kirk is dead? And would you be happy if Nick Shirley was dead? And I'll just wave this little magic wand and no one will ever know. I 80% of California politicians would go, yeah, get them out. And if you, if, if you were happy, someone like that's gone, that means your argument sucks. Yes, it does. That's all it means. It means you can't defend your own argument. That means that someone else's ideas threaten you because you just can't defend your stance. And yeah, I got to look inward for that. Well, speaking of Rob Bonta, that leads us to our next story here. I've been talking about this a lot from the booth. David Allison just put a date on pulling out Paramount and Warner Brothers. It's essentially October 1st if states refuse to negotiate the settlement in this antitrust suit. And look, I get it. You know, the estimate is that if this merger goes through, you lose 10,000 jobs. But I mean, at the same time, I mean, that sucks, but seems like it's kind of that calling is happening regardless of whether whether or not this trust all you're going to get basically is this antitrust settlement is going to stay in place and people are going to this business is going to leave California. Yeah, you recently just had a bunch of Chuck. Would you mind looking it up? We just had a couple of unions come out and say, like, we have to drop this antitrust settlement. I think DGA, I think the Teamsters, but also you have theaters basically saying you have to drop this. Oh, really? You have AMC. I don't know. Chuck's going to look it up. Yeah. So anyway, you have AMC AMC. All right. Yeah. Directors Guild of America and the Hollywood Teamster hold opposing stances regarding a settlement with DGA urge California attorney Rob Bonta to settle the anti antitrust lawsuit. Look, so what we do is we elect a bunch of fucking basically vigilantes to position. They're like fuck off and then you go well, don't you want an Amazon hub? It would now fuck Amazon and then you go I mean we had Barbara Ferrer who's a crazy witch lady who ran Covid protocol in Los Angeles and she's like everyone can go get fucked I'm in charge and I don't care how many schools are closed down how many kids commit suicide Rob Bonta it's the same way eventually everyone just leaves and then they're left with nothing. And for I want everyone to leave I want to fuck these people I and and and and the stupid unions a stupid bloated fucking Teamsters unions and DGA and all those unions you can guys go fuck yourself I don't give a shit what happens to you first off I I hate the fact that I'm in sagging after I fucking hate it they force you into it it should be legal what is this. This plan where they just take your first paycheck I don't want to be in your shitty union I've said this a million times and then everyone goes what about you know your medical whatever I got I'll fucking buy my own medical insurance I don't need to pay dues to a shit group that I don't want to be in and you guys can all fuck yourselves and you're going to collapse on your own bloated weight because that's why everyone left because you're fucking unions because when you're on a set and somebody goes fuck yourself. goes, oh, that van is in the shot. PA, go get that rental van and move it out of the shot you can't do it the teamsters got to do it these teams just get a hundred bucks an hour and they fucking sleep in their van all day fuck off and the stupid unions god i remember when the commercial actors union was going on strike these guys you know what their argument was andrew the argument was some of these guys only work like two maybe three days a year i go well tell them to get a fucking job then what what if roofers did that this guy's a roofer yeah he only works like two days out of the year yeah so you have to pay him fifty thousand dollars a day well how about he just fucking works more or gets another job fuck off so fuck you and sag and after and all your director's guild and all that kind of shit and all their bullshit rules good collapse collapsing on your fucking self the director's guild wants them wants the settlement thrown out oh listen i know they all want what's best for them because they're fucking collapsing but good fuck you go ahead and collapse i made a fucking movie i wanted to get co-written on there they wouldn't let me do it the reason the hammer says uh written by kevin hench is because we tried to get a co-written thing on there and they're like no and i was like really that's you have the power to do this and it's like yes we do yeah and that's how that's why that movie says written by kevin hench because they said we can only have one writer and i said and kevin said to me could i be the one writer because i could really use use it you know in terms of my career at the time now he's a big sitcom writer and i could use now i could use it i'm gonna see i'm gonna see if he can put me on uh you gotta write the hammer too you gotta write hammers hammers no i just want one of his um oh god what's the tim allen sitcom shifting gears shifting gears just tell i'm gonna tell hench i want credit for writing one episode of shifting of of shifting gears but anyway fuck all by the way fuck all unions you can all fuck off your teachers unions your director's unions your sags your after us get them all fucking out don't give a fuck about any of those do you know who we have to get on the podcast here mark cuban he's going after one of your favorites rocana oh really yeah cuban's all over the road we tried to sell the hammer to mark cuban oh yeah yeah well he offered one dollar wait what magnolia is magnolia's company uh i'm not sure chuck can you it's magnolia yeah he offered one dollar all right hold on a sec well anyway uh yeah in a debate this is mark cuban to rocana ro i like you you know that but you need to read the state of the state this is what he tweeted at at kana uh cuban lauded the number of unicorn startups in the state powered by silicon valley that seemed to be growing every day but um basically said that they're taxed is going to um it's just going to drive everything out yes that's what they do is they drive everything out i can read it right here ro i like you you know that but you need to read the state of the state the number of deca unicorns in california is growing by the day as investors chase amazing startups um how are you i'll cut down how are you going to tax them make them borrow money against their shares if they can they just raise money to grow their company and a lot of investors are willing to come along and loan them money a company that has been in business maybe less than a year lol will you take their stock if they can't do you really think each of each of the multiple founders who started an amazing company in california and are now billionaires can each just pull out 250 million per billion of net worth from their raise you just you know they can't if this passes and it doesn't directly impact me at all i won't be a president but you can bet if i'm investing in a multi-billion dollar startup i'm asking them to move from california first in my opinion if this passes only idiot startups founders only idiot startup founders will stay in california i've done it before and we'll do it again Dallas Pittsburgh indiana i will make not being in california a prerequisite for an investment idea ideology is not a strategy yes of course well rokhana's dumb too it's weird we we get all the we gets dumb Indians dumb Asians California's weird because we get smart cultures and then we get politicians and then we get Maisie Hirono this guy's a dumb dude um he seems nice enough which is weird but his policies are are going to drive everyone out of California who's successful but I don't know I guess ultimately that's their game they don't like successful people and they will drive them out of California all right well let's end it on something a little bit uh you know a little funny compared to our previous stories an Amazon customer in Texas was not enthused when her first drone delivered order was dropped into her swimming pool we have video of this after hearing the loud

Podcast Summary

Key Points:

  1. John Morgan of Morgan & Morgan shares his passion for collecting true crime memorabilia, including vehicles linked to famous cases like OJ Simpson’s Bronco and Ted Bundy’s golf cart.
  2. The conversation highlights how cultural fascination with crime and punishment drives public interest in attractions like Alcatraz East, where immersive experiences reflect societal obsessions.

Summary:

John Morgan of Morgan & Morgan shares his unique hobby of collecting true crime memorabilia, from the OJ Simpson Bronco to Ted Bundy’s golf cart, illustrating how deep public fascination with crime and punishment shapes culture. The conversation explores how personal memories are tied to major historical events like the OJ chase, 9/11, and Princess Diana’s death, with both hosts recalling vivid, emotionally charged moments. Adam Carolla also reflects on absurd or chaotic life experiences—such as eating strange food, mistaken identity with pot brownies, or forgetting meals—highlighting the unpredictability of memory and human behavior.

These anecdotes are framed within a broader commentary on societal norms, including the criticism of excessive political correctness, the critique of financial marketing (like JP Morgan’s "white savior" commercial), and the absurdity of modern urban governance. A key point emerges: people’s reactions to cultural symbols—like football team names or political figures—reveal underlying tensions about identity, tradition, and power. The episode blends humor, personal narrative, and social critique, ultimately celebrating the value of unstructured, chaotic, and often hilarious life experiences.

It also underscores a recurring theme: true connection and meaning come not from polished structures or formal systems, but from the messy, unpredictable journey of everyday life. The discussion ends with a call for authenticity in both personal and public life, emphasizing that the journey—filled with oddities and missteps—is often more meaningful than the destination.

Alcatraz East is a crime-themed attraction John Morgan built in Pigeon Forge. It's designed to immerse visitors in the history of crime and punishment, reflecting his deep interest in criminal stories and their cultural impact.

John Morgan mentions that cars like the OJ Bronco or the Ted Bundy VW have no resale value or clear market worth, unlike high-value race cars like the McLaren F1, which sold for over $35 million, highlighting the difference between fame and financial value.

John Morgan believes the OJ Bronco is the most famous automobile in America today as a curiosity piece, though it's not worth as much as luxury or race cars, and its value lies in its cultural notoriety.

John Morgan recalls the 1994 OJ Simpson low-speed chase as a pivotal moment in his life, when he was working at a bar and witnessed the event, which later became a significant memory tied to the start of his career in entertainment.
