Now on to the clips. First, today we have Adam Corola show 2773. This is from March of 2020, we tend to stay out of the COVID era, mostly pandemic stuff. Play some of it, there's no rules about it, it's just sometimes it will dreary and it's also not that far in the past. However, this episode seemed like it'd be a foam into play. This episode is featuring Kevin Bacon, Gina Grande, Brian Fisher, Adam Gina and Brian in the studio doing like a full hour long episode, fun vibe of what that show was at, right before things got weird. And then Kevin Bacon joining phone is like the beginning of the social distancing era. Interesting hybrid of how the show was evolving, they even did intro outros for both segments. Very reminiscent of how the show was produced back in 2010, when they would do two partners but they would break them up with intro and outros and still release them on the same day. Sometimes recorded back to back, sometimes paired together, ten years later repeating the format that hit the band interest. Hope you guys enjoy Adam Kool-A-Sho, 2773 from March of 2020. Good day Gina Grande. Good day to you. Handball, Brian. We've got Tom Hanks and quarantine and forced gump in the, in the wide house. Oh, so, so good. Hmm. That was from Joy Bay, huh? Yeah, Joy Bay. All right. So, I'm curious what everyone, however, when we're reacted over the weekend when things got ramped up quite a bit, I just won out and did what I do. Now, I- It's been on the audience. Yeah, I, I, when I- Drop list. Look at these moments in time, all I think is, oh, less traffic for me. I got here in 23 minutes and if you know where I live, that is a, that is a, that's a, that's a flash. Find the, sorry, Max Patta, but ask Matt, the poor son, Punisher Fonda Lear, that two sushi joints he was trying, he made reservations for on Friday night. One was full, the other wasn't, but it's, I have an interesting observation. Yes, I drove to the laugh factory on Friday night, no, actually it was Saturday night. I, I drove Friday and Saturday night, but on Saturday night, I came off the Hollywood Freeway, I was driving down Highland, passing the Hollywood Bowl, turning right on the Franklin by the big AIDS church there, no backed up car. That's what I'm pleasant to ride most of the time. No, nothing. It gets backed up. It gets brutal and I just blew right on through that place, full Omega Man style. Wow. I had an interesting, there was an interesting thing I noticed though. I said, Oh, okay, well Friday, after I do my set at the laugh factory, let's go get some sushi because the sushi places that are normally packed are going to be packed either. So not only is it drive going to be good, but we're going to eat some good sushi. And the best sushi place was the one we tried first. Yeah, it's called no boo, no boo right, no boom, they're welcome. So the thing that was funny is no boo didn't have anything available. Nobody had the same plan they were. So no boo is really goddamn good high end, it's always goddamn busy. And even during the coronavirus was busy, I couldn't get a thing there, then and up going to where? Cuts, oh yeah, which is not much worse, which is good. It's good. It's good. It's not as good. It's just good. You know what I mean? That's our jam and we're able to get a table there. So what I'm saying is there is a sort of method to the madness, even in the panic. The place it's really packed is still, it's less busy, but it's still hard to get a table in the place. It's one half a notch below we could get a table at. So do you have a similar experience on Saturday or just just Friday? Saturday. Friday we did the sushi Friday. I went and the laugh factory was packed, and I thought this is a good, this is a good thing. And then as I was driving to the laugh factory on Saturday night, once again, and it was really quiet outside, I thought, what are the chances you can be packed on Saturday night? It was not packed Saturday night. There was a big drop off. Okay. So that's interesting you mentioned that. It's hard to remember what happened when, but something happened between Friday and Saturday because we had dinner plans both nights, Friday night, dear Johns and Culver City, very hot place that we got reservations weeks ahead of time. We went, it was packed. This is the one that our couple friend dropped out because they had a little throat tickle. So we went by ourselves. It was packed. And like you said, the good places, they're still packed. On Saturday, we had dinner plans at another pretty hot restaurant, Scopa on the west side, managed by a fan of the show by the way, so if you go there side, it's out of the GM. And we went, we, at the last minute, we decided, you know what? The couple were going with, let's just invite them over and let's get Scopa take out, let's get rid of the restaurant. And when Christy went to get the take out, she's like, yeah, it was about half full. It's like something happened between Friday and Saturday, you know what I mean? There was a big wave of like a way or whatever it was. Big difference. Yeah. Big difference. You can use a lot of yardsticks to measure it, but pack, laugh factory packed on Friday night. Saturday's usually even a busy or night for comedy clubs. And it was, it was half too less than, than half full. A noticeable difference though. Noticable. Noticable difference. And then, but I went out Friday, and I went out Saturday, and then everything else just got canceled. Right. And roughly. Hey, quick, before we move on, I was like, why does Scopa sound familiar? Wasn't that the restaurant they did, Jeff Greene's surprise party at Caribbean enthusiasm? I was definitely. I didn't know that. I didn't know that. That's why I popped into my head. If you think so. I think so. I believe so. And it said the sign out. Yeah. Listen, nobody's traveling for months, possibly years. But the next time you come to L.A., Scopa's a great restaurant and it's managed by a fan of the show. So say hi. I, I, again, I went out on Sunday and had like brunch with my sister in an empty restaurant. You would normally have to wait and line for to have brunch. Well, I was fine with that. And then Sunday night, I had Mexican food with Sonny in a restaurant that's normally packed and it wasn't packed either. So if you're not using the practice of social distancing now, if you're not uptight about it, yeah, that's my social distancing number. Just the restaurant. No one's there. They're empty. Yeah. And going about my day, I had a, I actually, I thought this might bring a little, a mirth to the people. I recorded the first four, five minutes I did at the laugh factory on, on Friday night was kind of corona centric, you know, and topical, timely topical corona humor. I've actually been finding these jokes that I like. So I told August, you know, you're going to be sitting in the green room and we're going to be in like Pekipsy in 11 years and you're going to hear me up there going, remember that coronavirus? And that go into my jokes that I kind of, I've kind of, I've kind of liked. So I recorded just my phone up on the stool, up on stage. I told Max a padded, I just rip it down to three minutes and we'll play it. This is. Take out the bad stuff. Fry it. Yeah. So I said just left alone Friday night, laugh factory, coronavirus. Wow. Crazy week, right? It's a day. This is a second. Like my world is upside down. My head is spinning. Jesus Christ. Can you believe that ending to the bachelor? Right now, man, I'm a thief with medicine and I'm shouting, actually, it was, it was unborrowed, I'm going to call on him and I'm going to show it off. Freak out, dude. What are these wet naps for? So deep into that bachelor's here, man, I don't know what the fuck, hey, silly sick or something. Now, everyone's, oh, I think about it today, like everyone's fucking hoarding. You see these people getting their fist bites of a charming in the island. First off, people, what happened are dignity. You're not supposed to fucking do get out with other middle-aged people over toilet paper. Somebody's supposed to fend your under and then you challenge them to a duel and sunrise. Fucking fighting over ass paper. Well, other fat people scream next to you. There is, that's funny because we have laws against gauget. We're not allowed to gal, so for hurricane blows through, I'm not allowed to go to home depot by a hundred sheets of plywood for $30,000. more bucks and then charge you 150 bucks for the pilot. There is no gouging. We have rules. Hurricanes, you can't do it for like diesel fuel or generators or anything. We have all these rules about gouging, but we have no fucking hoarding rules, right? (audience laughing) Why don't we have hoarding rules? Like, you're going to try to buy two boxes of suit-a-fan or whatever it is, like a suit-a-fan, right? Like, you can't, Dr. Drew said to me, my wife won't even try to buy two boxes of suit-a-fan because they have triplets, they wouldn't sell it to her. Like the middle aged chick from Pasadena's make a fucking bath of steam. (audience laughing) We have rules, right? Like, we do have fucking rules. Like, you go in and you go, I need a 128 rolls of shardin. Someone's gotta go, how many assholes do you have? (audience laughing) Well, I know there's two, there's the one you walk in with and then there's you. (audience laughing) But are you fucking Mormon? Like, what's going on again? (audience laughing) By the way, why is toilet paper if you're going to hoard move? Like, I understand diesel batteries, I understand ammunition, I understand cans of beans. Oh, wait, maybe the cans of beans are leaving. (audience laughing) Guys, carrying a case of beans out of the car and going, wait a minute. (audience laughing) I've been forgotten something. (audience laughing) I feel like I could go a year with that toilet paper. You mean, you mean rough, but I could do it. I mean, let's start with the spent tube socks and eventually work my way to my dog's tail, but, but I live, I'd be amongst the living. (audience laughing) Although if you came, you used toilet paper for bartering, I might want it for that. Like, just literally hot or any neighbor chick had a toilet paper. I just pushed my dick through it and go, hey, baby. (audience laughing) Not that it would come out the other side. (audience laughing) I'd be like, hey, take my word for it. Okay. (audience laughing) Well, put my nuts in there. They spill out the other side of the pan. (audience laughing) So, we did a little hoarding toilet paper or a timely humor. I was thinking, how could I not do this? That's a top everyone's mind. I got it, I didn't record it, but I got a big laugh the next night where I went like, I know everything's bad, I know it's bad, and all the news is bad, but there is some good news. Like, I'm here to tell you, and everyone's like, sort of lean for it, and I went, school shootings are way down. Oh my God. Christy said the same thing to me. Not in a funny way. Right, it's true. And I had to be sad. So, they got a nice relief last. Nice. You know what I'm waiting for? I'm waiting for the PSAs and the big billboards to say, 'cause you're supposed to stay away six feet from people, six feet away or six feet under. Aren't you waiting for that PSA? Well, speaking of the PSAs, when I was looking at the freeway signs, it said like wash your hands, blah, blah, blah, blah. I was like, oh yeah, we could use these for something. Oh, there we go. If we needed to, it can be done. It doesn't all have to be click it or ticket or buzz driving, it's drunk driving. It's like wash your hands, stay healthy, avoid COVID-19. Okay, my thing is wash your hands or drive like champions or stop blaming your parents or something could just be up there all the time. Yeah. It doesn't need to. He's a universal timeless messages. I would like someone that's this go be early to work for 10 days in a row. Yeah, just like stuff like that out there. Did you work out today? Did you hug your kids? Did you, are you picking up your dog poop? Where did your neighbor? Yeah, wave to your neighbor. Like anything but click it or ticket. Like just let's, we have a network of incredible signs that tens of millions of people have to pass by every single day. We could put anything on there we want. Let's use them for some good, right? That's right. All right, I had an earnestly bigot thought. Oh, good. Oh, if anything was very a Friday's, Friday's before someone decided to tell people to wash your hands. I don't know why they couldn't have told people to wash their hands on Friday. Like I feel like we've known about this thing for a while. Friday's red, freeway sign, red. Do not drive in text-dicated. I saw that. Go on. First off, half the people in this town either can't read or can't speak English. So the notion and also-- It does go safely. Right. You are forcing everyone to stare at that sign for an extra three, Mississippi, to try to figure out what this new made up word of in text-dicated. Yeah, how many people looked at it for how long you try to hear what the hell that word was. That's the guy in front of them. Let's not be cute. Let's be clear. We'll go home and watch Netflix. We want to laugh. We want to commute. Let's be clear. Yes. Speaking of watching Netflix, I tweeted a very comprehensive list of movies that are streaming on Netflix, Amazon, HBO, and Hulu. These are all movies I particularly like or love. And so there's pinned to my Twitter profile. It's on Instagram. The Adam Crowell show reached me at this. But a lot of people are finding this very helpful. What's with the asterisks? Those are my personal five star all-time favorites. Those are the ones that I'm like, yeah, this is one of my all-time, I personally love this movie. I don't want to bum me out, but you misspelled driven. Just wrote, dry. I know. There are a couple of typos. And I should have caught that. That one's that super gay one about-- I know, people are going to accidentally end up-- People are going to end up with that super Ryan Reynolds movie instead. Mine is a classic. It's a classics alone movie where he plays the Hummer. And he's picking up quarters with us. You just got to get back. I know. You like to edit that. Should I edit that? Let's just put the pop, the end of the end of the end. Because you're going to steer people apart in a pun like a different direction. That's a good point. So we'll do a ball of you. I'll give out a few recommendations to people. Yeah. They sound down this week sometime. So "Earnestly Big It" had a thought. "Earnestly" was-- well, I'll just become "Earnestly Big It." Thank you. OK. All right. Don't speak for him. First person's always better. You have "Earnestly Big It" music. We have "Dueling Banjos" anywhere. Maybe we'll all come up with something with that. I'll ask you guys. Max Pattern, write down "Earnestly Big It" music. OK. I'm just asking. I don't think white people got it right at the store. You know what I'm saying? Explain. Well, white-- And I'm just asking. We hoard, right? So what we do is we get a more toilet paper than any man could use, and we pay retail. Full freight for it. And then there's almost no resale value on toilet paper. You know, some of that stuff. Appreciate it. That's going to live a lot of us. So we go in there, and we buy like milk and eggs. These things are perishable and toilet paper. And we pay full freight. We pay top dollar for it. And that's what white people do. Now, black people loot. So what they do-- we hoard. You know, they loot. They go in and get high-end electronics for free. Yeah, I don't think all black people do that. Well, I think nobody has been to black people. Obviously, there's a couple outliers that are-- there's a couple outliers that aren't looters, obviously. But what I'm saying is, I think we should take a page from their playbook. We're paying all this money for toilet paper, and they're getting high-end electronics for free. And you're standing in line with a friend of a sucker. Like suckers. You think the doctor's using the door, and they're getting a 60-inch Sony plasma TV for free. I just paid $400 for Sharman. Yeah. And I feel about working two hours. After you've stood in line and bought that Sharman who bags your groceries? Right. You. Right. You can sell back. OK, I don't know what to say. I'm not saying I'm putting these people down. This people are smart. They're getting all this stuff for free, and we're paying all this money for it. You're just asking. I'm just asking. Like, well, why can't we emulate that? Yeah, that makes the sucker here. All of us. That's right. That's right. Thank you. Why are you waiting in line? I'm just asking. Curtis is opening his eyes. It's funny. You should say that because over the weekend, my fiance said all this crazy panic hoarding. He dubbed it. So great minds must think alike. Him and Ernest, white collar looting. Yeah, because that's what it feels like. Well, I was thinking about it. It's like white collar. The folks of those like TV shows, like Horders or whatever, I bet the producers of that show have the exact opposite problem of the producers of the show cops. Do tell. Well, I have interviewed the guys who produce cops. And they have said probably more off the air. We got to balance it out a little. Got to get some white faces in there, you know. Sometimes it's a little struggle to hit that balance. And Horders must just go, we've had the same 51-year-old redhead chick on the last 26 episodes. Like, we need a little thing. Oh, what can we do? We're going to have to cook something or do something because I don't feel like the brothers hoard. Yeah. They're not representing the hoarders. No. No. That's our territory now. And I'll bet I don't know how many episodes of hoarders there have been, but I'll bet you they're almost exclusively white. But in a day when you have to balance everything out, although I don't care, if it's a negative activity, then who cares it's white people doing something negative, like hoarding. But I bet they got to stretch a little to get a little flavor in there, a little black Latino. Yeah. Good luck finding a gay hoarder. Oh, yeah. They're into order. Not hoarder. Organizing. Yeah. Order not hoarder. That's right. Yeah. I wonder, but I don't know how long hoarders have been on. I know I had a family friend that was in hoarder. They're featured. As my mom said when she was bragging, I was like, I just love, I love what my family can brag about. Like, how's Merleine doing, she's doing, she doing good. She is. Yeah. Yeah. She was just a feature in episode of hoarders. Oh. Was she holding the boom mic? So she's the expert talking to them. She's staging the intervention. Yeah, exactly. And I love the, not doing so well. All right, so 121 episodes of hoarders, 10 seasons. Whoa. That's all shot and Freud, right? I said no one want to see that, but it makes me uncomfortable. Then they have black people. I mean, I know you have to balance it out. I don't know how you can. It's not like love connection when there used to be like love connection, the special black couple of days. Right. I don't think they do that anymore. All right. So I honestly just wants to know, Robert, 27 Tulsa. Hey, I was, I just wanted, I love you all's music take, most songs you'll recommend on the show. I ended up downloading it. So I don't know if you had any, maybe one or two deep cuts that are some of your favorites that maybe the average person wouldn't know about. It's funny, I've had this song sitting around for in my head for a long time. It's a deep cut, Dawson by Forner or by Lou, what's his name from Forner? I can't remember if it's Lou Graham, Lou Graham. Blue Monday, is it, I think it's called, there's a midnight blue by Lou Graham and then there's a blue morning, blue morning by Forner by Forner. I like both those blue Forner lead man songs and I know, oh, it's a different blue Monday, different blue Monday. And I'm not a huge Forner guy, but I like blue morning, blue morning, blue morning, blue morning song. And I've never talked about it on the, blue morning blue day is what I'm saying. That's right. It's got a good riff. I've never talked about this song ever. I just always realize that I like it. Lou Graham's got a good voice. He's got one of the greatest rock and roll voices ever, in fact, he sings with Alan Parsons on Alan Parsons' new record, believe that. You know this one, Max Zapata? No, no, I don't. Well, you better get it. Get it? It's your poppin' music. I like this riff. All right, yeah, man, it crest. People can't leave the house now, but when they did, they wanted to have a good time. Enjoy themself. Yeah. Listen in the songs that held together, you know? Everything middle-end, listen, guys, shops. You never had this on my list of classic rocks or whatever, but it's a good song. It's got a riff that stays with the song. You know, speaking of blue songs. Two blue songs just popped into my mind that I love, but they're pretty popular. Of course, everybody loves baby blue, bad finger. Sure. But our how familiar are you with Blue Sky, Almond Brothers? I know that song, and there's Mr. Blue Sky, E-A-L-O, if anyone wants to be put in a better mood, go that direction in these times. Great song. Yeah, yeah. All right, so we just put together three or four blue songs when you're feeling blue. Listen to these songs. This is a good road trip in music. All right, Dave Betts. We got the J-Hawks, blue, too. Of course. Brian, pressure's on you. Any blue? Fuck. I love this song, great, great hook. Doesn't I know you like this song? You must. Oh, yeah. No, I got a framed poster in my house at Dickie Betts. There it is. It says, "Thanks, Dickie Betts." Hey, Robert? Yeah. All right. You got Mr. Blue Sky. You got Blue Morning Blue Day. You got Blue-- what's the other blue gram blue? Midnight Blue. Midnight Blue. You got Blue by the J-Hawks and-- Blue Sky. Blue Sky. And Baby Blue. And Baby Blue. Sounds good to me. Mm-hmm. Yeah, of course. That's perfect. Perfect. Or Baby Blue. Yeah. Not a deep cup, but probably my favorite blue song until I can think of another one. Hey, who? That's right. Behind Blue Eyes. Behind Blue Eyes. Behind Blue Eyes. No one knows what it's meant for credit for getting that song in a second. Good song. Yeah, a lot of deep cuts. Or you could just say any Frank Sinatra song. It's good. All blue eyes. It's good. Behind Blue Eyes. Yeah, the song just kicks. It kicks in. When it comes in, it just comes in. You know? Robert did call and ask for songs that have the word blue in them, right? No. He just wanted deep cuts. I just happened to-- I know. That's where we went. Slided. Yeah. I love the who. All right. Let's talk to Nicky over here, 33 from Seattle, Nicky. Nicky? Oh, I'm sorry. I'm bringing Nicky. It's dead by Nicky. I haven't brushed yet. Oh, I got the wrong line. Sorry. Oh, line four. Hey, Nicky. Sorry. Yeah, Nicky. Go ahead. Oh, hey. Sorry. I wanted to say I commiserate-- Yeah. Well, you're in Seattle, too. That's the epicenter right now. Yeah. You know, we can turn this into some form of lemonade. I'll tell you this. Weird little thing. It may not sound like it means much, but it means a lot. I just interviewed Kevin Bacon. And you guys will hear that for an hour when we're done here. Kevin Bacon said, his wife, Kira Sedwick, married since '88, I think. I mean, they've been married-- Built to last. Hollywood years. My god, it's like 3,300 years, you know? It's three-lifetime. Right. He said, for the first time ever, his wife of 32 years, like Sed, I want us to build a puzzle together and got like a 500-piece puzzle and put it down on the table and said, we should build a puzzle. And I know that's good. And then I said, later on, I said, you know, how do you deal with stress or whatever? And he goes, I meditate, you know? And then he goes, actually, for the first time ever, Kira and I did it together today. And I thought, oh, that's all a residue of this. You've been married to a woman for 30-something years. You both meditate and never done it together. That's coronavirus. It's overliving. That's bringing it out. Yeah. For me, it's like traffic, love. I asked me to do a ton of Jake stop puzzles. So-- Do a ton of Jake stop puzzles? I do. This is perfect. Jigsaw had a song called "Sky High." By the way, in the deep cut-- In the deep cut in "Hint Department." Oh, it's called "Sky Blue." I wish it had a word blue and it was called "Sky High" by Jigsaw. What's the attraction of Jigsaw, Nikki? Jigsaw puzzles. And by the way, in my mind's eye, you just put on 45 pounds. But keep going. OK, I promise I don't weigh that much. But who knows when you started at my mind's eye? Could I have you starting at 63 pounds? Real thin. Yeah, I'm being honest. You're healthy. That's not a put down. Well, I mean, at this point, I'm just saying, or at this point, it's great to get food. So hopefully I'll lose 20 pounds. - No, I mean, it's just so you know that they're cut. That's how the pieces are cut. So they're not like as even as a normal puzzle might be. - What do you build? What do you make? What photos or depictions do you like the best, the images when you do a jigsaw puzzle? - Oh, I like this one artist. His name's Charles, his email, and it's like cities. But it's not like a real life photo of those cities, it's just like an artist depiction of these certain cities. And I like doing those. - What do you do with them when you're done? - Take them part immediately and start a new one. - No, you don't frame it. You do the spray glue. - No. - I had a thought. - No, you know what I'd like because you're good at this. Don't put the picture on the box or anywhere. - That's a shot. - It's called figure it out, bitch puzzles. Where you have to do it at the end. It's a grotesque bouquette scene, you know. - Exactly, exactly. - If you didn't know, do you know, you always know what you're gonna put that in. - Wait, hello? - Yeah, well, it's just the only way I can do it. - Is to why? - Oh, by not looking at 'em because it makes me feel smarter. - Oh, you don't look. - Some of the 15 pounds right there. - Do you have a, she just went to morbidly obese from heavy said. Do you have a puzzle? - I'll send you a picture of me in a picture of me and you where you've never looked happier. - Oh, okay. - Oh, I know. - Lee, scandal. - So when it's the Lynette, when she came for Mingria or like a curl at Drake's party, I went to the one in Seattle. This was like, we're five years ago. But yeah, I'm such a fan and I just like needing to call you guys right now. - I just wanna, things are crazy. - Couple things. If anyone out there has pictures of me when I've never looked happier, please don't show them to my wife. Unless she's in the picture. - Yeah, that was happiest. - If she's in her picture, then dial means. - Right, but don't label them that way and then show them to Lynette, okay? 'Cause you're sure. - Tempting fate. - Yeah, never looking happier is an indictment on the marriage. A number one. Number two, Nicky. If you don't wanna know what's on that puzzle, well then, do you have a puzzle valet who goes and invites the puzzles for you and then puts them in a burlap bag and brings them home to you? I mean, do you-- - I mean, obviously. - I mean, yeah, she probably does it without guidance of the box. - You see the box when you pick it out and then you don't guide. You don't use it for guidance anymore. - True, exactly. - But isn't the purest version of this, my figure it out, bitch, Puzzle Series where there's nothing on the box? - Big question mark, those puzzles exist. - They do. - They're called mystery. Yeah, they're called murder mystery puzzles and they do exist where you don't have any sort of idea what's all about. - You know, they should all be a big picture of you and a guy holding a knife right behind you, just that's the last piece you put in. It's the guy who's dying. It's like, and I know what you did last summer in a situation that's you killing somebody, it's-- - Right. Hey, Nicky. - Yeah. - What is your, what job are you staying home from today? - Oh, arrest. But I-- - Wait, sorry, what was that? - You cut off for a second there, babe. - Oh. - We're never gonna know. - Do you hear me? - No. - Do you hear me? - Shit, yell out. - No, your job. - Can you hear me now? - Yes. - Okay, a restaurant job, but I'm a former paralegal and I just had a job interview last week. That one really well, but they're all staying home for work right now, so-- - Bad time to be doing research and-- - Yeah. - But a good time to be in the puzzles. - Yeah, exactly. - That might be a pain. - I filed for unemployment this morning, which is like something I never imagined I would ever do, but that's okay. - Just where we're at. - Well, and the next time somebody makes fun of you for staying home with your puzzles, you go, oh, well, it's interesting because Kevin Bacon seems to think it's good enough for him and Keira. - That's right. - So we're gonna lead fraternity. Thanks, Nikki, appreciate it. - Thanks for taking my call. - Thanks for listening. - Love you. - That could be a fun addition to Adam's monthly nut and Adam Corolla Jigsaw puzzle. - You can get those made pretty cheap on like Groupon and stuff. - Yeah, that'd be fun. - Oh, you can. - Yeah, we're looking to do it. - Send him a picture. - Yeah, he said he'd just email the picture and they put it on a puzzle and send it back to you. - Good grandparent. - We looked into it. Who's we? - Oh, Kristina, I looked into it for the grandparent. - For her parents. - I love you guys. - But for Tessa, it wasn't. - I don't like you individually. - A couple. - As a couple, you have like crazy powers. You're like a lot of it. - You're like hummus. You can't just spoon it out of the container. But you give me a pizza chip. I'm in heaven. - That's right. - She's your pizza chip. - She's my pizza chip. - You tell her I said that. - She's my belly cleanser. - You guys are so great. I love all the stuff to get. - I think about doing-- - It's a good present. - All right, let's see. I have, I also went by my dad's place and took the trumpet from him. The extra trumpet-- - Oh, right. - The spare trumpet. - Sitting on $7,500 worth of trumpet. I want to find out from Matt what I paid for the expensive one. And so I'm going to keep saying five grand. But I wouldn't be surprised it's not $5,300 bucks or something like that. I had him play both trumpets and record them. - Okay. - Can you tell the difference? - Well, you know how nobody ever does what I want them to do ever. - I do a lot to this, yeah. - I said to him, play a song. And then I'd go A and B. Like, we'd play Tangerine. He'd go, "Oh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh. And then you'd hear an A and a B, right? But instead, he just kind of tinkled where you didn't really get your A and your B, because who knows on any given whatever kind of kind of scatting a little bit. But it's still interesting and still kind of hard to tell. And I'll be curious with you guys. Like, look, either way, an old man who doesn't play for a living could just play the $2,500 trumpets. - Sure. - You'd think he'd get by. - 3,000. All he's doing is knowing his neighbors, you know what I mean, he's not actually not a paid gig. But I had him play both trumpets and I took one back and my dad did this thing. I don't know if you guys ever know the, if you ever know the thing where you know the people are those sort of conveniently confused about stuff. - You know, it's like the person- - That's the way out of it was the way I go. - You know, he never paid me the thousand- - Oh, that's exactly- - Did I, I couldn't swear. - I didn't pay back for that one, huh? - Oh, then we squared up on that. - Yeah, all right. - I'll check my records. - Yeah, and they're like, "Oh, last time went out to dinner, I thought I paid." It's like, "No, I paid." It's like, "Well, why did you think you paid if the other person paid? Did you think that?" My dad gets a little confused sometimes and I'm like, "Yeah, it's like when he released this car and he was under mileage and it was time to return it." I kind of gave him the whole speech about, "I paid for the mileage and then later on he didn't drive it." I was like, "You're not driving the car, I paid for the mileage, I pre-pay for the mileage, I got to turn it in under mileage." And he's like, "Yeah, how'd that work again?" - You drive it, I pay for it. - Yeah, you're 75 at this point in your life. I think you could wrap your mind around that, but a lot of people kind of do, "I didn't hear what you said or I don't really know what you're saying." Yeah, my dad kind of pulled one of those with Trump. But first, all right, we have the, we have the, oh yeah, it was a 3000 plus tax or whatever Trumpet. Anyway, we have the one that my dad wouldn't, wasn't good enough for him and then there's the one he went picked up. But what my dad did is one of those moves where he goes like, "Yeah, did Matt, you know, kind of like take care of the trumpet thing." - Right. - You know, I got it from the store and I'm like, "Yeah, it's, it's taking care of 'cause otherwise the store would be angry." If you just walked in and took 300 or 300 dollars for the trumpet and laugh. Yeah, so he was going to do this thing where he's like, "So, Matt, it was like the business, kind of took care of that one." You know, and I was like, "What business are we talking about?" He's like, "The credit card with the business thing." It's like, "Dad, I bought you the trumpet." You know, like, I was trying to do this thing where it's like, "Oh, it's a write-off because I bought my dad a brass instrument." I do a podcast and maybe this because I'm talking about it. Wait, get Tony Reed out of the club. - It's a lot of content now. - But the point is, he was trying to do it in a weird magical thing. Like, the credit card paid for it from the business, so it's not really coming out of your pocket, right? - And then this is an appretzel. - The company, oh, the corporate card. - Right. - It's a version of what my dad did with the trumpet. - Here's the trumpet, Mr. Patis. - Yes. Dad did with the trumpet is what my mom did with taxes like five years ago She's like but rich people don't pay taxes. I was like, I know you like to think that because you don't pay taxes And then you take me taxes from rich people very much the opposite you should know that's not how it works Anyway, we'll play you will play you a and we'll play B and I happen to know which one is which [Music] Alright, and we'll hear the second one [Music] I'm not hearing two grand difference there I'm not hearing two dollar difference any disparity that can be heard is Based on the fact that he was warmed up when he got to the second trumpet. I was gonna say I can tell which one he likes better But not which one's more expensive. Well, it was funny. So you guys tell me what you think which one was the bad one which was a good one I don't think it was bad, but we send more expensive versions. Yeah, the first one sounded a little richer to me But I don't know shit about music and instruments. I have zero idea. They sounded exactly the same But he really went on a long stroll on that second one. So I think he likes that one better I don't think you got that one too. I'm gonna go with the second one. The first one was the inexpensive one And the second one was the more expensive one and the thing is no. Oh, I screwed that up. Yeah, yeah The first one was the expensive one the second one was the inexpensive one That's exactly the same. Yeah, we played the last you take the expensive one which one was returned the cheap one Okay, oh, oh, wait, could you hear it on the tape when I played it when you played it? Work it out. Yeah Oh, what's the first one? Sorry this not for you guys because he did three all together I just took the last two what was the first one? So the first one he did the inexpensive one Then he picked up the expensive one and then he went back to what he did is he he picked up the inexpensive one And he kind of mailed it in and then he picked up the expensive one and a lot of that's what I was So they're facing it on there is there's always that's kind of reminding me of hey. Oh, Jay try this glove Old man play the cheap trumpet Okay, I don't know I'm gonna be like when I was in commercials. We're trying to pour spaghetti into a calendar I love you though. He hit a step-wife hit my step-mom and his wife at the field goal swung it around knocked over vase How many times does this happen to you? All right, so there was there was that but I would say no discernible difference. Maybe if you do it professionally Maybe if my dad Join the band cake Then you would justify I love cake really? She's got a heaven goats go to hell. I Know those dudes. I like they're funny guys and their songs are kind of funny Yeah, but I like going with them folds. Yeah, they're fun. I like the I get that I get their novelty in a sense. I do like the song Yeah, they're kind of like the song. They're fun. Yeah Then they have a sense of humor I'll see all this one. I love the song Song rules. By the way boss. You got some ammo for it and some paid entertainment for next Christmas Give your dad a little homework and tell him you want the theme to Superman Oh sure on the trumpet on Christmas day Superman is okay. No, no, no, no, no, the actual the actual things from Superman That's one of the best trumpet pieces.

The the reason story about him losing the gubernatorial race. Yes, I heard the reason story about him in the hotel room. Oh he did Did you Gina? No, all right? Well, we got we split the room, but we got one winner. The point is is I think we know that story If you know that story, it's the news person if the virus wasn't there's nothing in the news except virus talk Yeah, this is the best time in the world for these people. How do you know that story? I saw so on Twitter supposedly you Supposedly the the meth one to someone else and he was only drunk, but I did well a good scene It didn't make the front page of CNN Fox anything Google did it was a very short window.

Yeah, the congressman or actor whatever All right, here we go. Sorry, Gina. Let's let's do it. Let's queue up the news Hey The news with Gina grad Dawson when you feel like you got some Lucretia McEvil Worked out with my dad. You can tell us take it. It's almost ready. He's cracked up a ton right now. It's god I'm already hearing it my head. It's gotta be funny. It's really there's no work to be done. It really just does itself , but you'll see me get laid over when the horns kick in sure there's a I like it be a featured player. There's a solo in the middle. Oh This I just laid the session together. That's what it laid out Yeah, see if you can hit it with this solo in the center laid over the horn the horn riff. Go ahead, Gina. Sorry So you know how you've been asking for names. You want names. You want names. We know You're getting sick. Yeah, Tom Hanks. We got to read Wilson and now Now I'm worried. Mm-hmm. Now I'm in a full panic. Mm-hmm. Now I gotta take the rest of the day off. Just please And I don't owe Dolly. Oh boy. Oh, I would be I'm here. He's getting home with - That should be halfway to fucking Tully. - That's right. - That's right. - This is almost as bad. - Flowers and chocolates. - Idris, Elba. - Really? - Yes, sir. So he got tested and revealed Monday that he's positive for COVID-19. He says he didn't have any symptoms, but he got tested because he realized he was exposed to someone who had tested positive. He found out Friday that they were positive. So he quarantined himself, got tested immediately. - I honestly want to jump in here. What you have with Hank is a hoarder getting it and post a looter. You see what I'm saying? Now we have representation from both parts. - Right, the whole spectrum. Thank you, arms. - It's all right, go ahead. - And you know, there were rumors going around that black people couldn't get this virus. So please don't listen to fake news. That's not the new face of black coronavirus. - The actor also urged his followers to really think about social distancing, wash your hands. He says beyond that, there are people out there who aren't showing symptoms. They can easily spread it. So now's the time to be really vigilant, blah, blah, blah, blah. So he joins that growing list. There's a Ukraine. - So he had no symptoms. He just got tested. - Yes. - And is he in the U.N.? Where is he? - Well, he's from England. He may be working here. - Right, everyone's everywhere now. - Oh, sure, sure. - Hank's is like Australian stuff. Like that. - Yeah. - Those kind of actors, everywhere. - There's a Ukraine-born actress named Olga Kurlyenko. Does that mean anything to you? - Oh, I've got the one. - She is positive as well. Universal music chairman and CEO Lucien Grange hospitalized for treatment. We heard about Canadian people. - Lucien's probably older. I think so. - You know, for me, I want to-- - What about Sophie Trudeau? Sophie Trudeau? - Oh, the White Hood. - Yeah. - Oh, just true. - Jess and Trudeau is my-- - So what I'm looking for is eat your cell phone and other strong, healthy people, what it does to them, not whether they can get it, how they fare. - Right. - That's what I'm looking for. - And it seems like, unless there's some underlying illness, they skate pretty much except they cough on somebody. - Well, I don't know. I don't know that, do we know? - The only-- - People skate. - The only flaw with that is that the Idris Elbas and the Sophie Trudeau's of the world in the time, they have access to care that the 99.9% of us will never have access. - They will be hanging out in an emergency room for two days. - But I'm trying to think, like, if it's flu-like in it, if it presents, as Dr. Drew would say, and as a flu, and every flu I've ever gotten, I've never gone to a hospital to sort of ride it out. - It's just past drinking a lot of fluids and stay hydrated, and you know. So, here's an interesting thing. You know, Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson are being quarantined, but we don't have a vaccination for it. - Right. - So, and some people that are elderly need to be in breathing things and whatever. - Ventilators. - Ventilators, sorry, but if you are Tom Hanks, what are you getting that we couldn't get? You know, if they're saying, hey, no vigorous activity, be sedentary, drink lots of electrolytes, eat a banana, relax, you know, no drinking, no smoking, or whatever it is, we could all do that. Like, we've all done with the flu. So, the question is, is save the old people, the ventilators, and no thing, I don't know. I'm gonna have to ask Drew, what could the hospital provide? I know they could provide something, but if you didn't, you didn't sound like Tom Hanks needs what they have, but I don't know. From reports I've read and done on KFI, it says that they really can just provide symptom relief. Because of the symptoms, you know, like having a cough. - They can't cure you under longer, yeah. - Exactly. - Right, so maybe the richest man in the world couldn't get that much more from the hospital in terms of curing this or whatever, other than making you comfortable while you wrote it out. I mean, guess same way, when you get a flu, you get an IV versus sucking it up at home, I guess. - I told the story before, but Drew himself would tell you that the hospitals are not all created equal, there are better hospitals and worse hospitals. I know this from his own lips, because when I was a phone scanner at Loveline, I had to have my gall bladder removed. I don't remember that or not, but my gall bladder removed. I'm 22 or 24, whatever I was. And I'm like, Drew, I gotta have the gall bladder removed. He's like, okay, well, where are you having the surgery done? I'm like, Daniel Freeman hospital, down an angle wood. He's like, huh, good luck. That's what he said to me. I was nervous about going into surgery. - He has no bedside, man. - Hospital is in a hospital. There are grades and levels. - Sure, I'm just, I'm still wanting to know, is Tom Hanks getting some treatment that is above and beyond what we could receive or even what we would do if we just stayed home and Mama made chicken soup and you kind of wrote it out. - It is interesting because I've Googled Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson several times in the past four or five days. And it's in a way it feels shrouded in mystery. All we get are updates from chat or we get a picture from Tom being like, fair and well taken a day by day. So we don't really know what's going on there. - And after seeing chat doing a lot of his postings with a shirt off, I keep thinking to myself, why is everyone's kids fucked up? And who could be better? (laughing) Who could be better than-- - Well, what are you talking about? - No, but me and all of that aren't good parents. Rita Wilson, Tom Hanks, are. - Wow, Mrs. America. - How do they end up with this? You know what I mean is that? Is it now, I used to think nature, nurture. I'm not thinking society. - Okay, so along those lines, I'm wondering, this is just a half-beck theory with the Spielberg daughters of the world and the Chet Hayes of the World. And is this a generation of rich kids raised by help? - Like Tom Hanks all over the fucking world, he probably oversees eight months a year. - You own that island for seven years. - That's right. - Yeah, I'm sure in the tattoos are the rich version of cutting on yourself. Like it's, there's a little pain involved with it. - But then again, Cull Hanks is like the most normal with a joshed person I've asked. - I'm just gonna use them if anyone accuses me of ruining one kid or the other kid or whatever and just go, look at the Hanks kids, come on. It's all scattered to the wind. Dawson, you have a mashup ready with the La Crecia. - Yeah, and this one, we're really orienting your dad into the horn section. - Okay, I agree. - That's really feeling and laying down. - That was my initial impulse there. - Yeah, let's go.

Well, we have a little coronavirus round up as of today. Just a few more things that happened over the weekend. California, Ohio, Illinois, Massachusetts, Washington, all closed bars, restaurants, wineries, all types, I can't stop thinking about Napa, places like that, you know, in our neck, the woods, Solvein, Semekia. - Oh, yeah, Napa, the auto parts industry is gonna be touched by this, Gina. - Oh yeah. - It's a deep cut for you, but I appreciate you. - I get it. - Napa auto parts, yeah, great. - L.A. Mayor Eric Arsetti ordered nightclubs restaurants to stop dining service, offer takeout only movie theaters, Jim's also closed, which is funny, because I just got one of those alerts on my phone, you know, hours before saying, from AMC or whatever movie theater chain. We want to keep you healthy so we're you know, adjusting the seating chart. So I think that was the last ditch effort. I saw one of the last movies. That AMC. Last chopper out. Yeah, really was. Let's see. Grocery stores, drug stores, banks open for the time being. New York mayor Bill de Blasio announced late Sunday bars restaurants should go take out only as well. Vegas, not just them delicious buffets. Now we're talking full resort and casinos. When announced it's closing its two hotels starting Tuesday. Well, MGM resorts will shutter its casino operations Monday shut down its 13 strip properties on Tuesday. It's going to be quiet on that strip. That is stunning, but it's also smart. Someone tweeted me a picture of Vegas from like Friday night. Just people just massive people all touching the same chips and the same dice is like that's a picture dish. Man, I think it was. I've never seen this, but I think Conway said on the show. So real crazy, like superstitious people will lick their hand and then lick the slots. You've heard of this. People will rub the fells. People people to all sort of crazy superstitious shit. Jesus. CDC said gatherings of 50 or more should be shouldn't happen for about two months. I think Trump said today keep to 10. Well, if your live show should be okay. Two months. Yeah, two months. I'm worried about this Trans-Amrace. That's my main concern. I have no thoughts about my media family, but I'm thinking about the Trans-Amrace coming up. Do you guys want to guess what three types of businesses have skyrocketed? And I'm sure, you know, this is the three there are pointing that aren't so obvious. Hey, everybody. Welcome to Skype. Hey, Jeanne. I mean, you got when you got a Mac or I book, you're a PC or Mac. Okay, you got to tilt it. Sweetie, if you face it toward the window, it blows out. You got a Jay entry hall. I don't know where I am anymore. Listen, I'm kind of a blessing. Hold on. Mom, I'm working. Of course, I went Podrose. It's Wednesday. Wednesday's Podrose tonight. Why do you have to tell me every Wednesday is Podrose night? I'm working. No, I'm not at work. Obviously, I'm not at work. I'm not drunk and covered with glitter. I'm working from home. Bob Flassey, ladies, doing a remote thing down the right. The middle of doing a gig here. Oh, man. God damn it. Hold that, ma'am. Diamond stage seven stage. Oh, actually, you're on computer nine. Shit. Are you on the tablet diamond? God damn it. My internet just went down. God damn it, ma'am. You can't see internet. Get out of here. I hope you die so I can continue to live in this. Oh, it's your house. Okay, serve up to Bob Rose, James, a tablet seven. Who's got an iPhone? I need a router. Thank you. Wow. Well done. Thank you. Take a drink. You aren't. You're right. One of them is webcam girls. Two others. These are not services. These two are products. Not wipes, not that's not the obvious stuff. Not the obvious stuff, but products that are not obvious skyrocketing. What is? Oh, just skyrocketing. Nothing in the food area. Not a food area. No product. And not, I mean, I'm saying like to take out your hand sanitizers yourself. Your masks and listening to that nature. All right. Got it. Bibles. Oh, not bad. I'm taking a turn. Like people are, like people are finding getting back in touch with their listening. Okay, that's Adam's guest. Dildos. So that's the. You gotta buy a different shop though. You gotta go a different part of the mall. You can't divide Bibles and the Dildos in the same shop. That's correct. You're both wrong, but you're both probably right. It's just not on my list. Bidets and guns. Oh, yeah. That makes sense. You don't want to take in your bidet. Yeah. Let's see what else we got. Airports slammed. All this not all, but many of the health screeners are getting sick. Um, people going at the airports. Let's try to get back home. Yeah. Travel ban has been expanded to the UK and Ireland when Trump made the announcement. The UK wasn't involved. United Airlines has its cutting flights by 50% reducing payroll. Corporate offices agreed to take a 50% salary cut. And Australian TV host Richard Wilkins has tested positive. Not Wilks. Well, it's funny. The reason I mention him, he interviewed Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson a few days earlier and now he's back. Um, and as we know, a third staffer on the today's show tested positive. So Al Roker and Craig Melvin stay at home. I feel like Al Roker's always in a place of sort of diminished immune something. I just feel like the government is never 100% is now. All right, let's do one more. All right. Well, let's do this one talking about hoarding and gouging and some people eventually end up getting their come up and Matt Colvin and his brother Noah hoarded nearly 18,000 bottles of hand sanitizer. So two weeks ago, they cleared the shelves at Walmart, Staples, Home Depot, in all of Tennessee and Kentucky. The brothers then resold the $1 bottles for as much as $70 each. So on Sunday, Colvin's merchant account on eBay and Amazon were deactivated due to this profiteering in a pandemic, unable to move the product on those platforms. The Colvin brothers really had no choice, but to donate the hand sanitizer to churches and first responders. They recruited a team. Can I receive for this? That's right. They recruited a team of men to unload you haul trucks and boxes and boxes and boxes from three storage units. The Tennessee Attorney General launched an investigation into this price gouging and a spokesman from the office said donating the sanitizer does not mean they are off the hook legally. If evidence establishes, they engaged in price gouging, we will seek appropriate penalties. And as for how apologetic this Matt Colvin is, this was his response. Would you say you're sorry? Sorry for purchasing, sorry for buying all of this. No, I don't think that I would. He seems like a P child. He's all about it. And he's wearing a T-shirt that says family man. This is how he treats people with the families. I always want to, it's these kind of guys. It's such a garden variety, thugs or gang bangers. It's these kind of guys where I want to get hold of their mom and go, well, how wise do you think this is going to be? How do we get here? Yeah. Seemed fairly normal. The look is educated and stuff. What would you create here? How do you figure this one out? Yeah. How absent were you? How bankrupt can you make somebody morally? That's right. I like the entrepreneurial spirit part of the whole thing. But come on. How did you, how did you arrive with it? How'd you get here? Like, I have a son. If that's, if that's how we ended up, I just be like, like, what the fuck did I do? You never stop punching yourself. I know. I don't, I'm always curious. Are you kidding me? What created that? Yeah. Yeah. And I know we're we're wrapping it up. But just on two happy notes. There, and there's a lot of these stories. And I think we're going to see more of them. Is it gold bear? Like coal bear, Rudy, gold bear, gold bear, gold bear. So he, he's the one that can touch like whatever, joke, drown with the raised microphones when he had. By the way, that's just a joke to me. Like, I don't, I don't think you need to. Everyone's kind of raking him over the cold. But he was sitting around. Oh, no, I was before he was diagnosed. He wasn't sick. It was before his diagnosed day before his diagnosed. It was, yeah, it was the day before him. Right. Two days, two days. But yeah, I was before he said he didn't know he was sick. Right. But what I'm saying is don't, why are we villainizing him for doing that if he didn't know? Well, why was he, what was he doing then just doing a solo? No, no, no, he was after a, he was a press conference. And yeah, there was no one else around. There's like, the news, the news media, press conferences work. Right. Multiple players use those microphones. Hold on a second. Please, Mr. Kind of sending normally they step up onto something and there's like mics and they, they step up onto something and he was like sitting down in a room where there wasn't really anything in the room. Yeah, we have, we have the video. We'll put it up at least half the teams have their players sit down and coaches. At least plus the majority. Oh, that's not the shot. I saw I only saw the, I saw I only saw it from here on like I saw a wide shot where looked weird to me. Okay. Okay. Well, yeah, silly move on his part, but, but he wasn't sick. He obviously was. He was sick, but he might not be knowing yet. Yes, what I'm saying is we're trying to figure out how much he should be raked over the colds. And what I'm saying is is he was goofing around because he didn't know he was sick. And now everyone is like, he's horrible, but it's like he was goofing around. He didn't do maliciously, but he's a, he's a dipshit for, for doing it. Right, but I don't see, I have a much different view of things like when people know what they're doing and volitionally do stuff, I hate them. When people are goofing off, I, I don't have that same feeling about it. And we can't, we can't look at it specifically through today's eyes where all businesses are being shut down and people are starting to get quarantined, but this was only a few days ago and people were concerned. There was a wash your hands. Don't touch your face. It was dumb. It was dumb, but he's making up for it. He, right, but it's funny that you thought he did it when he was sick. Well, he, he was sick. You were saying after he was diagnosed. That's what I'm not understanding. No, he wasn't dying, no, that's. doesn't mean he wasn't sick. I don't think he was sick. What's he? Well, I think what I'm saying is when you're sick, you're showing symptoms. And you guys are saying he wasn't like, right? Is that what you're, he was infected with the virus when he did that. That's what we're saying. I'm aware of that. Yeah. Why aren't you understanding what I'm saying? You're saying he didn't do it to say I'm going to screw everybody up because I know I'm sick. And I want to know he was sick. Right. Right. I think we're all, I think we all. I know. You guys should be able to process this better. So I can play the process. I said he's not malicious. He's addiction. No, I know. But I said you didn't, you thought he was sick. And you're like, he was sick. And I'm like, yeah. But I think to be clear, to be clear, you're saying he didn't know he was sick. Yeah. I'm saying that. But you said he wasn't sick. And we were saying, yes, he was. Well, I mean, he wasn't present. All right. Now we got to get in a product. Did he know he had the flu? Did he think he had any symptoms? I'm saying, all right. What I'm saying is he didn't know he was sick. Right. I understand we're all mad at him because he was sick. Right. But he didn't, I'm saying we don't need to turn feather him because he was goofing around him. It is stupid. Just I understand that. But that's what I'm saying. That that's why I said, I know even in just a span of a few days where all most of us are taking this way more seriously businesses are shutting down. But even a few days ago, people were still like, careful with breathing. I'm not, I'm not into the defense of the 25 year old guy goofing around per se. But I'm sort of like, I got bigger fish of fry in terms of people I hate in our society. Because he just got his hands in his eyes are guys. He was this horrible timing guy. He was like horrible. Long place, wrong timing. Yes. Because we've all I walked into a classroom once. Everybody was like, looked kind of bummed out my senior year of high school. And I just walked in and I was like, I'm looking down. I went, who died? And they were like, Leonard issue and Robert Cacera. It's a Jurassic. The two 18 year olds are on the team. And I like one. Oh, now I was I was the goat because I said that. But it was a joke. And most of the time, you know, it's not going to be sort of that two guys don't die from your high school. You know, but anyway, well, the reason I bought it up is because he and Kevin love from the Cavaliers are giving major money to help. You know, like we talked about Mark Cuban to help the arena workers. Right. So Rudy Goldberg is giving some insane amount. I want to say 500,000, half a million dollars out of it. Sounds like his own pocket. Kevin love 100,000. And I think we're going to see more of these donations rolling in. Yeah. It's good. I also wonder. So is my nefarious part of my brain who likes it. Oh, he's got so much way they need tack. They need to give it on. It's a lot of foundation. They'll have, you know, charities on days. Yeah. But still win, win. Good for us. So they made a one minute video. Yes, this is an NBA, but he lit the camera at the end of it out of line. But it's like that. All he do that. Sorry. Here he is. Hey, what's up, everyone? It's really good. Just wanted to give you guys a little update. I'm going to stop us. And thank you to all the people that have been supportive, French and how. That's for myself. I've been feeling a little better every single day. Thanks to the half cap. I don't know where it is. I'm just asking. As you may already know, I just wanted to make sure to remind you guys to keep washing your hands frequently. We get it. He gave the money. Good. All it's forgiven after hearing that vid. Yeah. She looked cute. Yeah, that's look good. That accent. All right. Let's bring in her. You got an I'm Gina grad. And that's the news. Gina Gina. That was the news with Gina grad.

New episodes every Monday on Spotify. Good to speak to you Kevin Bacon. Nice to speak to you, man. I've always been a fan of yours and I don't feel like I know you very well, but I feel like I know your work very well, but I also feel like you're out there and approaching. Have we ever, have we ever crossed paths before? I don't know. I kind of feel the same way about you, you know, after you're certainly from the man Joe and from Howard Stern, you know, but it's like I don't know if we've ever actually crossed paths. Have we ever been in the same thing? I hate to play six degrees, but my my greatest fear is that I say to somebody, especially celebrity. God, I don't think I've ever met you and then the person goes, I was on love line three times and I go, oh, shit, but I really think that way with you, Kevin Bacon. I don't think we've been in the same thing. I don't know if we shake in hands. I think this is it. I think I think you've popped my Kevin Bacon cherry. Well, you know, and and and since we're, well, since we're never going to get a chance to shake hand ever again, that's that's never going to happen. But you know, I it's funny you say that because I have this thing where I don't if I'm shooting on a television show, you know, I'm on a series now. I don't I don't like to come into the makeup trailer and sit down with an actor that I've worked with before and say, it's very nice to meet you. So I if I go down the call sheet on my way to work and look at the people's IMDB pages and check and see if we have the interface in the past. Right. With with me forgetting because you know, it's a lot of people, I'm, you know, I've been at a sort of long long time that, you know, I can't I can't remember and then and then I'll say, hey, again, remember we did that thing and then I'm off the hook. What let's talk about city on a hill, by the way, is what we're talking about on showtime. What let's talk about when you got starred. Now, I know I remember seeing you in a quick silver and probably 1987, but I don't know that you've worked since. So now I'm just making a joke. When when did you get started? What was your age? What was your first deal? You know what? My very first movie was animal house believe it or not. I was 19 years old. I was a I had moved to New York when I was 17 and I was in acting school and they actually sent a casting director to to the school and said, this is a type of kid we're looking for and the school sent me over. I didn't have an agent or a manager any other shit. I mean, I was just, you know, just a kid and that was my first thing. You know, I guess, you know, I technically, the first time I ever got paid to act, I was still living in Philly and there, somebody got in touch with me knew that I wanted to be an actor and they said there was this park in a ROTC recruiting film and it was going to pay, you know, a couple hundred bucks or something like that. And I remember that my mom was a avid anti-war activist and I took the gig and she didn't speak to me for a Michael week. And you know, it was one of those kind of seminal moments in a relationship to an, you know, a son and his mother, you know, we're, you know, a Robert Blyse to talk about. stealing the key from Monday, if you're in the mythology, if stealing the key from Monday, if you're mother's bed, that was that was when I stole the key and you know went out and you know made my first paycheck. But my first real job was Animal House. Um, you grew up in in Philly, my families from my dad's families from South Philly. So I spent some time. I didn't know that. Yeah, I went. One of the only times I really felt sorry for my dad is a few years ago I was out there. Playing a show outside of Philly and I said, let's go check out my dad's old old neighborhood in the old house. I used to go to when this grandma lived there and everything and it was right in the middle of South Philly and I saw that house. He grew up in and I was like, oh boy, I feel bad for this guy. It's Philly's got some some good parts and it's got some some bad parts. But what was it like for you growing up in Philly? Well, I think it was very very important to what it is that I do for a living. It was like you said, good and bad. I mean it was rough, you know, I used to get beat up and robbed all the time and I grew up right in the center city. I was at public school and so there was those kind of challenges. On the other hand, like in terms of what I'm asked to do is portray a lot of different kinds of people and I think that I have that I had that kind of experience in Philly where like the people that I was coming in contact and interacting with on a regular basis both in school and in my neighborhood and you know in the community centers and stuff like that were really with a pretty wide variety and so I think it was really really helpful for me when it came time to start to put on different hats and walk and different kind of shoes. I will say that my my mother was a New Yorker, my father was a was a Philadelphia and I think that my mother in her own way was kind of whispering in my ear like this is a great place and you do that and I made our life here but you got to get out of shoes. So the second I graduated high school actually was able to get out of high school early and I was working in this warehouse packing and shipping medical books and and I knew that I had to get to New York as soon as I could. So I left home when I was 17 and you know started pursuing this this this acting thing. You you knew it. I'm envious of people who know what they want to do at a really early age. I really look at it as a blessing. Sometimes it doesn't work out but like when you hear about comedians who knew they wanted to be comedians and they were doing stand up when they were 15. I'm like what a blessing because the saddest I ever feel for someone is when I find some 23-year-old and I go what do you want to do and they go I don't know like I feel horrible for that person and even if it again even if the dream doesn't come to fruition I still think it's a blessing to know what you want early. Did you feel you knew what you wanted when you were 15? 100% and where does that come from? I mean honestly before I even knew what an actor was I think as a tiny little kid I knew that I wanted people to look at me and I knew that on some level I wanted to entertain them. You know if I would walk into a room I mean literally as a I gave I don't know I don't know when memory starts but that's when it started I 100% felt felt that and what it was yeah what do we attribute to you important for me? What do we attribute that to you have you have you're the youngest of six children I know bacon brothers I know you guys perform I know there's other siblings that perform but how did that how did that manifest itself or why you you know what I mean like is that nature is it nurtured did somebody push you into it or is it just there? That's a really good question I think I think what I don't think I don't know about nature but the one but the one thing I don't believe is that this idea of God given talent you know what I mean because I feel like what what that statement does is it mission factor anybody and you know this for yourself that wants to get good at someone needs to work their fucking ass off at it like you just don't you just don't pop out of the out of the womb you know playing like Eddie Van Halen you know what I mean it's just not that you get that that that's just like crazy so maybe there's a part of me the naturally you know somehow genetically was predisposed to it but I think it was really about like you said being the youngest of six wanting to kind of stand out in that group and also wanting to make my older brothers and sisters laugh and do whatever I also think that my parents were very very supportive of anything creative they were much more supportive of that than they were of good grades or being you know an athlete or or going to college or any of the normal things that people really want to they never said to me you know you need to have something fall back on they were like they just before they knew I was going to be an actor you know it was like you know draw something build something fix something yourself use your hand use your imagination create create create this is this is what what they somehow just pounded to say both of you know really pounds as a table one and so there was that the other thing is that which is another big piece of being successful as an actor as a a frontman certainly in a in a in a in a rock band or a musician or or a comedian or whatever is that I had a really strong desire from a pretty young age to be famous and you know I often say that there's two kinds of actors actors that want to be famous at liars because you don't go into this line of work or this life to not have people look at you you know and the more people that are looking at you the more it's an acknowledgement that you're you're doing a good job right and so I think that I think that my father was in Philadelphia a pretty famous guy um not wealthy but famous and I think that you know I I kind of I dug it I just got it I dug it and I wanted to beat him at it you know I kind of wanted to you know I wanted to beat him at at the at the same thing your your you follow is a politician correct a politician or he's yeah he was a he was a he was a he was a city planner uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh you know he wasn't I mean had some political kind of pieces of it but it was uh you know he was a a city employee and um that was like really devoted to the idea that cities needed to remain vibrant and that people needed to you know move into the cities and not run to the suburbs because we're talking about a you know a period in time when he you know you know probably 40s and 50s and 60s where there was a lot of white polite and you know that was the cities were not the place you wanted to be you know everyone was making Charles Broughton movies and trying to run to the to the subwar and uh he was sort of uh pretty instrumental in in trying to get people to focus back on Philadelphia and come back into town and be downtown so he got well known really well not certainly in Philadelphia he was very well known well it was on I'm reading here was on the cover of Time Magazine in November 1964 yeah well that's pretty famous for our city planner um yeah yeah yeah I'm seeing my half on the cover of Time Magazine so I listen first off uh I like your candor because everyone always talks about the craft of acting and being attracted to the process and so and you're saying I wanted to be famous my dad was a big shot I wanted to be a bigger shot um I definitely appreciate that and and and again I I don't really think there's anything wrong with it I I feel like when people go you know that guy he just built that hospital so he could put his name on it I go okay well there's a hospital and people can see so oh maybe we need more guys that want to put their name on a hospital but I'm not going to tear that guy that that guy new asshole for wanting to build a new [BLANK_AUDIO] wanting to be famous and pay taxes and make people laugh or make people think or make people cry. But the other thing is that once you, you know, when I, before I knew, you know, how hard this life would be, I thought to myself, well, I want to be famous. So I'm either going to be able to do it, you know, from the, from the world that I was looking at. I knew that I wasn't ever going to be a great athlete and, and I can already tell that. And so I thought, well, I'll be an, I'll be a rock star or an actor who was like, I'm exactly the same age as Donnie Osmond and Michael Michael Jackson. And I'm looking at these, you know, these guys and Bobby Sherman and David Cassidy and Jack Wilde. And I was like, I'm going to go and see if I can get that. And then what happened was in pursuit of that fame, then I started, you know, my mother could sort of see that that's what I was into. And so she kind of, she didn't want me to be a musician because my brother was a musician and she was kind of like, don't, we don't really need another one in a family. That's, that's, that's not a, that's not a good idea or maybe she also thought it didn't have any talent for it. And I also wouldn't practice, you know, my brother was really, really, like, he practiced really hard. Right. And so I've, she said, why don't you take an acting class and I said, okay. And almost right away, I realized that this was a craft. Now my desire to be, to be famous and to pursue this, all having to do with, you know, money and girls and, you know, all the stuff that comes with it didn't go away. But I realized pretty quickly that in order to get good at this, I was going to have to really work at it. And I think that's a little different than some attitudes that exist today because we have a whole bunch of people that are kind of just famous for being famous, you know. There's, there's a, there's a new kind of option in terms of career now, which is just fame, sort of for fame sake, you know, and so that's, that's a little different than having a skill and really trying to hone the, hone the art and the craft. I mean, I, I definitely believe that there is a craft to act and up to, there is a craft to, you know, all these things and that if you have to, you have to work at it. Well, you went to New York when you were 17, which is young, it wasn't really young by older standards, you know, people would sign up and go to war at 17, you know, now guys that are 17 or like they're nine, I mean, if you ever talked any 17 year old dudes, they're not the World War II generation of 17 year old, it's really amazing to me, you know, and, and you know, what else about about that is I didn't, like I didn't think of it as being young. I honestly didn't, there was no point in me to what, oh, I'm just a, I'm just a kid. I never thought that way, never. Well, and also people didn't really treat 17 year old boys like kids, like your, your deal was learn to drive a stick, get a job and start taking care of business. You're a man now, like you, you know, you can impregnate a woman, get out there and get to work. Like I, I, I don't feel like people treated us like we treat 17 year olds now or 26 year old dudes as sort of kids, they're infant, infantilized. But, so you just went to New York, really not knowing any better and society didn't tell you any better because we didn't do that back then, right? No, nobody said you're out of your mind, my parents never said it. I slept on my sister's couch, she had a, she was living on West End Avenue. No, it wasn't a, it wasn't a concern, I mean, I was, I, you know, the drinking age in New York was 18, so by that summer, that, that summer, I'm 17, that, that summer, I turned 18 and, you know, got a job in a bar right away and, and that was just, that was just a deal. What was the early schedule like for you, like your first years in New York, um, schedule? Yeah, like I'm just curious, I'm picturing a 18 year old Kevin Bacon living in a completely different New York than we know it today, getting up, doing what, obviously you're working at a bar at night, acting during the day, I mean, training during the day. I had a, um, I joined a two year program at a school called Circle of the Square, um, and, uh, I made it through the first year and then a little bit into the second year. But, um, yeah, I was, I started as a bus boy, um, at a place called Fiorello's Roman Cafe, which was on, um, sixth, third in Broadway. I lived in a, uh, in a, um, kind of like a, so hard for people to imagine at the Upper West Side was like a funky neighborhood, but it was really pretty rough in, uh, in the '70s. And I lived at 86th in Broadway in this, in this, they called it an artist residence, but, um, it was really more of like a single room occupancy, you know, an FRL that we said called, uh, and the ad in the paper in the village voice, you look at the back of the village voice in it, and it said, uh, our actors, dancers, musicians, you know, they come to this artist's residency. So I went into the rental office and I remember that, um, I had budgeted 150 a month for, uh, my apartment. And not, you know, some whack-a-do, like, number that I just kind of came up with in my head that it would be 150. I didn't really know, but, um, so they said, well, we don't have any, uh, one, what they would call a studio, you know, which was just one room. They said, but we actually have a two bedroom for three and a quarter. Uh, and, uh, I said, well, I don't have a roommate. And they said, well, what about this guy? And there was a guy sitting on the couch next to me in the rental office. And we looked each other one, you want to? And they said, yeah, sure. I never met this guy annoying about this guy at all. And so they showed us this place that the, to say it was a two bedroom, to say it was a one bedroom was really a stretch. It was two rooms. I slept in the kitchen, um, and, uh, he slept in the bedroom. And to get to, uh, his room, he had to walk through, uh, my room and for me to get to the bathroom, I had to walk through his room. Um, it was in the, in the back, you know, on the air shaft. Um, and I lived with the guy for, like, four years in this, you know, essentially kind of a roach infested lap house, um, on 85th and Broadway. Yeah. And we go, yeah, I go to school and I work at night now in the, in the restaurants. And I don't think people, I think people are depriving their kids of that experience of making do of like kind of how resilient you can be and how pliable, you know, like when you're 19, when you're 19 year old, dude, you're practically indestructible. Like you can sleep on the floor. You can eat pop tarts 24, seven. You never get sick. You never get fat. Like you can kind of do, you can really rough it. And I don't think, I think we're denying a lot of young guys that experience of like knowing you can survive. Like knowing like, like how the guy who's the outdoorsman knows he can survive because he knows how to protect himself from the elements and he can hunt and he can fish. And that's sort of confidence that comes with that. You know, you had a, and I had the same thing too, a kind of urban version of that, like a city, I guess a city version of survivor. You know, you knew how to get around. You knew who not to piss off. You knew how to talk to cops or talk to criminals or how to get on with crazy roommates and that kind of thing, right? Like, and then, and then you build this base. And then once you have that base, you're not really, you become sort of unflappable at that point, right? Because you know what it's like to sleep on the floor. 100%. And I think, and I think you make a really good point is that it's the urban version of wilderness kind of survival. And I know that, you know, some people get in, a lot of people in urban situations get into this head where, you know, kids that are raised in cities where, where, you know, certainly wealthy people they say, well, we're going to send our kids to outwardly to see how it is to survive with just a piece of string of that for a week. And, you know, I don't know. I sort of feel like there's also, there's also an urban kind of version of that. Yeah, I was, I was definitely unclackable. I mean, you know, Rob at gunpoint and, and, and in plenty of, you know, dangerous situations and, and yet like, like I said, you know, I survived and figured it figured it out. Um, there's so much you get out of just moving forward in life and I think a lot of the problems that people have and I don't know maybe it's you too. Maybe it's a computer. Maybe it's the new age we're living in. They want results. Like everyone wants results now. And I remember just sort of leaving the house and walking forward. I never really thought about results per se. I was like, my thing is I want to be better tomorrow than I am today at different things, but I didn't really have a what's the bottom line. Maybe there's, maybe there's too much of that. Maybe people get discouraged too quickly when they don't see results fast enough, but I don't know what your mindset was. You wanted to be famous. You went to New York at 17, but were you like I need to be in a major movie by the age of 20? Or were you just going there to learn your craft and and see, see where it took you? I think it was constantly and I believe I believe this to this very day. I do exactly the same thing. It's almost like there's two levels of, um, of consciousness around going for what is that you want. One is the more. I'd like to say private and daydreamy kind of part of it, which is you can, you know, picture yourself accepting your Oscar, you think about seeing your name and lights, you, you know, you, you, I'm, you know, even stupid shit. I can't know you want to whatever driver rolls or whatever happens to be, you know, you, you know, data supermodel, you know, whatever these things are that you have is these kind of secret. I think it's, I think it's good sometimes to kind of keep them secret because they, they can kind of fuel you, but on the day to day, I never thought about that stuff. On a day to day, I would be like, what can I do today? Can I try to get an extra, you know, part as an extra? Can I now that I'm now that I got now I'm starting, you know, work as an extra can is there an opportunity for me to forget to get one line what used to call an under five. I got under five is there in chance I could get a, you know, low level agent, you know, right and and then just like make these make these steps, right, these just kind of baby steps and I still operate in that way. I still think, okay, well, you know, city on the hill and then, you know, what can I do anything after that is that you know what, what's, you know, what am I, what am I doing? What's my work kind of big, you know, this week or this month or this, you know, but they, I think they almost feel like they both have to kind of have to, but I think it's important that they, they, they co, they co exist. So you hold on to your, your big dreams and your big ideas, but you have to give yourself the, the satisfaction of having some little victories or some little losses. What are you, what are you into and, and then and sort of how do you keep that fire going now that you're very comfortable or you've been comfortable for a long period of time, you know, how do you have a little that either Tiger. I don't want to say a bunch of rocky Philadelphia cliches, but you know, you have to have a little feeling like someone's chasing you a little bit like there's got to be a little edge, a little fear to get you up or to use this motivation or, or is that how you're wired, what, how do you keep the fire burning. I don't find any problem keeping it burning. It's always there at probably to, I don't know, I don't know, I'm not going to say to, to a negative extent, but I don't, I have my, I have my pedal so firmly on the metal like all the time I'm always looking down the road. But I'm really not interested in looking back the one time that I look back is when I, when I, when I do this when I talk to somebody they want to know about how things, you know, started. But other than that, it's, it's really like the past is, is the past and I'm, I'm hoping that, you know, my best work is in front of me. I'm hoping that there's more to, you know, to accomplish. Creatively and, and maybe someday I'll, I'll be able to go, okay, you know, but I'm not somebody, I don't want to build bird houses. I, I, I, I don't want, I'm not looking for that moment ahead so that I can just head out on the golf course, you know, for, for, you know, every day, I don't want to both, you know what I mean? I'm, I want to work. You know, I just, I'm like, that's, that's what, that's what gives me satisfaction and a lot of other things to give me satisfaction too, but I still really love the time between action and cut. I still love the excitement of reading apart and saying, oh, I could do something cool with this and then that process and working with the directors and everything, the hair and the makeup, the costumes and being upset and all these things, I, I, I love it. So, I think that what, what I, what I want to, what I want to work towards and people sometimes have a hard time believing this because, you know, I've been working for so long, but I'm working so that those opportunities don't go away and they don't dry up. Every time I finish a gig, I still feel like that was the last job that I, I'll ever do, you know, it still feels like, you know, it's, it's over, you know, the dream is over, Johnny, you know what I mean? Well, yeah, I have that, I've, I've, I've had work and I've been had no work and, and, you know, the, the no work times have, I've had a lot of resonance for me and, and so I'm, I'm still, I'm still hungry at the stage, I still feel hungry. Well, you know, it's, it's funny. I was just sort of thinking about it because I feel much the same way. I feel like show business is kind of and you tell me if you feel this way, but you feel like a fit senior, but if you slip in the bathtub and break your hip and you're down for four months, you could get old really fast and it could be real hard, real fast. Like you die real fast. Like there's a lot of folks that are like that guy super fit for 81. Look at him and then he broke his hip and it's like, pow, like just expired gone and I, I was just kind of feel like you go down for six months or a year, you may not come back or at least you would come back, but I feel like maybe I don't come back. Maybe there's nothing to come back to. Maybe no one wants you back. Yeah, I mean, I certainly think that that's true and it kind of flies in the face of some logic because, you know, if you've, if you've been talented before, I don't think it's really just going to go away. I mean, you know, maybe I guess maybe you could make the argument that sometimes, you know, whatever rock stars do their best work when they're younger, I don't know, but maybe I just do, but I don't know. I do, I still feel, I still feel like I want to, I don't want to go away for for too long and and then if I do go away for too long and it's going to, you know, it evaporates. Yeah, I know that I completely feel that way. The other thing I also feel like one thing it's kind of fun about being an actor is that you can, you can get older and then the parts and the types of parts that come to you. So the shift and change and become sometimes more interesting because you're dealing with a man, you know, who's a different point in this life and sometimes those opportunities can be great. I remember after Footless came out, someone saying to me, so listen, you're going to get, you're only going to get three bombs and then it's me, buddy. Then you're going to, you're going to have to, you know, go to dental school or something like that and, and, you know, I mean, I'm, I'm like, you know, whatever, probably about 30 bombs and so far. So, I feel like, you know, longevity is the secret to longevity is there is no secret longevity is the secret if you just kind of hang in there long enough. You know, I think people just started to go, well, and usually he's not going away, so we might be in my part. Well, the thing about the bombs is if you put him back to back to back, yeah, it's tough. But if you spread him out and you slide in, you know, in a palli 13 or a few good men in between bombs, then you can kind of hang out, you know, I've always sort of thought of this career. It's like a restaurant. like you have your favorite local restaurant and you've done that thing where you go in and you eat there and you're with your wife and you're like driving home and you go, not as good as it normally is. Something's a little off. I'm one of that new management. There was a little bit slow on the service or something, right? But it doesn't prevent you from going back. You'll still go back. But if you go back and it happens again, you got one more time and you'll never go in there again. Now, if you go back and you have the best meal of your life, you can then go back and have another bad meal and you can alternate. You just can't string them together. I felt that way about doing radio shows. I was like, if people are listening and I have an off day, I can have an off day. And if I have an off day and I spread them out every five weeks, they'll stay. But if I string three together, they're gone and they're not coming back. So I looked at my mouth as an Italian restaurant. - That's great, I love that. - Well, it's really, it's kind of that way. It's that way with athletes, you know what I mean? Like LeBron can go out there and have a bad outing and so can Tom Brady. But if Tom Brady puts together three games in a row, the older Tom Brady, not 26 year old Tom Brady. But if Tom Brady puts three games in a row of throwing three picks and three games in a row, he's gonna be on the bench. And he might not be back. One of the greatest quarterbacks of all time. If he spreads that out over the entire season and puts some good games in between them. So I don't know, I've always kind of thought about the order of things. And I know it sounds pretty esoteric, but I think people should think about that. Look at dates. You can have a bad date on your seventh date, but you can't have your first date be bad. And you certainly can't have your second and third suck after your first one was good, you know? It's kind of, there's a sequence to it. Are you? I wanna know you and since everyone's talking about coronavirus and how it's affecting them. And I'm kind of curious, not about regimen, like washing hands and hand sanitizer. I wanna kind of get your take, Kevin, sort of a little more philosophically. Like where you at with it, where would you like people to be at with it if you could kind of send a message? What would that message be? I'm gonna ask you to form that thought for a second. Let me just jump in and take care of a piece of business here. All right, we'll take a real quick break. We'll come right back and Kevin Bacon will tell us his philosophy about the coronavirus right after this. All right, back with Kevin Bacon, the new podcast. Well, there's six in. The last degree of Kevin Bacon, it's a new episodes every Monday on Spotify and Matt Walsh is already also in this in Kira Sedwick. Kevin's lovely bride is in this as well. The website sixdegrees.org is where you go. So thoughts on corona, where were you with it? Well, first off, this is a really self-serving segue. I would say that we're practicing social distancing and we're coming up with things to do, right? The podcast is a good relief. First off, it's funny. It's like unabashedly silly. And if you need a little bit of comic relief in that way, it's something you can do from home. My wife, the first time in her life, that's me. I wanna make do a puzzle. She's never imagined her as a puzzle doer. Sure enough, we found the puzzle and it's a 500 piece puzzle. I'm amazed if we do it, but it's sitting here waiting for something to do. I mean, I think that it's important to stay hopeful and positive, which we're trying to do. But at the same time, take the advice of the experts and the scientists very, very seriously. I mean, I think that if we can, you know, I believe in this flattened curve, it just seems to make a lot of sense to me. The less interaction that we have with other people so the time being, the less chances there are of containing the virus. I think the idea that some people go. It's all overblown, or this is too much panic or whatever. It's like if limiting our action or our interaction could help, then why not? I know it's an inconvenience, but why not be, I would rather come out of this going, wow, we took this a little too seriously then come out of it going, nobody gave a shit and nothing was done. And now it's a need more of a disaster than it could have been. - Right. - So I look at it practically, plus I really want something, you know, I want to be able to be observing some kind of way of the way to be a services to not work, you know, not go out, you know, whatever. I'm extremely concerned for people who are less fortunate than me, of which that's pretty much most of the people in the world. Let's face it, I am in a very, very slim margin of people. We will, you know, ride this out as long as I can, you know, stay healthy. And but even if I get it, you know, I still feel like personally that, you know, I'm healthy enough that I can ride it out, but there's a whole bunch of people who I'm certainly more, way more concerned about than myself. - Do you want both? - Personally, physically, health wise and financially. And how, you know, we deal with that in the long term, I think it's going to be an interesting question. - Do you have a workout routine or meditation or a sauna or cold dips or, you know, what is your kind of health regimen? - I work out pretty much every day. I know I'm supposed to take a day off, but I don't know, I'm kind of addicted to it. And it's as much cross sort of training as possible, you know, between, you know, a bike here, a run there of a, you know, weights on, you know, run a couple days and, you know, to me and the like, yeah, yeah, we're, we're battling into working out. We really like to hike. We're in LA right now, so that's possible. And, yeah, I do meditate. I meditate almost every day. Karen actually meditated together very yesterday, which is something we had never done before. That was new, that's a new coronavirus option, you know, actually, we're doing the same meditation. I'm not, I'm not the VM, so I, it's kind of like my own goofy apps, you know, that I've found and sort of hypnosis meditation, thanks. - Yeah, I think I eat pretty well. And, yeah, that's, yeah. - Well, you know, I, I do believe that there's always kind of a byproduct and sometimes, oftentimes a positive byproduct of situations like this, which is sort of like, that's like when there's a big earthquake, then there's some new codes and some new technology and now buildings are safer, right? And when you look at some tragedy like the Kobe Bryant helicopter accident, it's a tragedy, but there's gonna be a bunch of stuff like terrain sensors and stuff and new helicopters that are actually gonna save lives as well. So sometimes some good things come from some tragedies. And like, you just taking the time to do a puzzle with your wife that you would never do or meditate together, it's like a positive byproduct of this tragedy, wouldn't you say? - I would say so for sure or sure, I think that anything that makes us feel gratitude for what we have, for our, you know, if we, I don't know about you, but if we make this make it through this, I'm gonna have a, you know, we're all a lot of reasons, including, you know, family and medical science, the ability of people to come together and, you know, try to face it, you know, a crisis like this together. I mean, listen, yeah, I think there's often times these kinds of things create a tremendous amount of positive energy. It's a terrible way to experience it, but if you, if we're living in a world where we're really all focused on, you know, getting what we can and on, you know, our kind of consumptive nature and all of a sudden we're kind of forced not to consume quite as much, I think. Yeah, it can give us a different perspective, nothing like a little life and death situation to have a wake up call. Well, gratitude and the phone got a little choppy for a moment, but you're talking, well, no, it's not your fault, but you're saying when we get out of this, if we can get out of it with some gratitude and some perspective, that'll be a good byproduct of it. I'm paraphrasing what you're saying, but, you know, then here's the kind of the rub. It's like, how do you maintain a level of gratitude when there's nothing going on? There's no viruses of any kind and you're just doing that thing where you're chopping wood like you're getting up, you're hitting it hard, you're working hard. So how do we have quiet and gratitude when you're kind of a hard charger and how does Kevin Bacon remind himself to have that sense of gratitude when he's also out there trying to sort of chew up the real estate? I don't know the answer to that out of my, I really wish I did, because then, you know, I'd be a lot of writing a self-help. I think, you know, I just think it's, I think part of it comes from the fact that my wife is a great kind of, it reminds me of that. And I think that probably, you know, the kind of parents that I have also taught me, a level of compassion for other people and they were not, you know, even though my father was driven to be famous, my father was not driven to consume things and, you know, my mother didn't want, she'd never want to throw anything away or waste anything. They were like pretty, I don't know what that generation is because they were pretty old when they had me. So it's almost, it almost skips the generation. I have a sister who's 18 years old. So I think they were of a, of a, you know, a depression kind of mentality. And yeah, I don't know how, how I hold on to that, but I try to, I feel like you get to a fork in the road at this point in life or somewhere in this, you know, kind of 60. You know, it happens at different times or different people. And the fork in the road is one direction is gratitude and the other direction is bitterness. And, you know, you have to, you have to choose which one you're going to walk down. And so it may be easy for me to save from a lot of people's perspective because I have so much and I've done so well. And I, and I, you know, have this kind of, to the outside, what looks like kind of an idealic life. But at the same time, I've felt those times in my life where I've felt myself falling in down the bitterness kind of path. I think we're always feeling like somebody else has it better than us, you know, no matter where you are at, right? In the, in the, in the spectrum of success. And, you know, I just have to remind myself to, you know, stop and breathe and look at my family and look at nature and see, see, you know, what's, what is beautiful in this life and hang on to it. You know, it's interesting as you brought up the, you know, the bitterness path. And then you go, someone's got it better than me. Personally, I don't, I always know there's many people have it better than me. And I never really think about that. But I'm curious for you. Is it, someone has it better than me or is it I'm not respected enough for what I do or what I have done? Because I will go down that path a little. I don't really do the better than me. I go like, why they should respect me more for what I've done. Yeah. Yeah, it's that. It's, it's, it's, that's definitely the fact. Yeah. Um, you know, and it's all, it's all stuff that you know in your heart of heart is, is bullshit ultimately. You know, things like, you know, reviews, one person's opinion or, you know, trophies or, um, uh, paychecks or, you know, a bunch of a bunch of shit that you can really. You just have to stop and, and I don't know. Well, I don't know how you get past it. But you have to get past it, you know, yeah. Well, I think what helps is a focus on something physical. I, I find you taking a hike or in the garage building a kayak or something or swimming in the ocean or something like kind of physically stewing in your own juices and sort of watching TV kind of is a petri dish for this and kind of breeds it. And when you're out sort of being active, you know, if you're riding a wave or race behind the wheel of a race car, you're not thinking about any of this ever. So kind of put yourself in those positions. I don't mean drive a race car all day, but I mean it's like get out, get moving, get active, take your dog for a walk, put your earbuds in, listen to, uh, Kevin's podcast, the last degree of Kevin Bacon. It makes in a little classical music in between episodes and you probably won't start sliding down this, this bitter flume as I've now labeled it. Yeah, it's, no, you're right, you're right. I, I, I feel that, that I even, even in New York, I mean, we're, we're kind of by coastal. Um, we will, I will just go walk. I'll just walk, I'll walk, I'll, you know, I'll walk 60 blocks, you know, right. Just to, just to kind of, um, be not sitting in front of a computer for, uh, looking at my device or, or, um, you know, watching cable news. I mean, you, you definitely, it's, it's definitely, I completely agree with you about that. You're doing something physical. If you have, if you have the ability to do something physical, it's definitely a good thing to do. You know, it's interesting. I always would tell people, you know, go for a walk, go for a hike, you know, convene with nature. But as I'm thinking about it and I'm picturing, I've done the same thing. I've, I've walked all of Central Park, but I've also just walked 60 blocks in New York. And even though you're in the heart of sort of the city, there's so much going on, like you'll pass the park, the little park and the kids will be playing baseball and then you'll pass a bunch of weird shops, you know, big gay ice cream and you'll look in there and look at the sign and you'll pass some pet grooming place or some little pub and you're seeing all these people in this crazy variety of life's, you know, all the different types of businesses, even alone and all the people that are walking in and out of them. There's something strangely relaxing about that, like just passing through this sea of humanity with your earbuds in. Do you sort of pick it up on that vibe? 100% 100% and and yeah, you know, it's and it's weird to me, again, the loud, how doing that in a city and doing that in nature, they almost have the exact same effect on me, because I can look at exactly what you're talking about in a city and just by experiencing what all these other people are doing, right? And these lives that you're getting a chance to witness, it takes you out of your own life, you know what I mean? Sometimes it can just be the fact that you see somebody that is, you know, more in need than you and in nature, it has a similar kind of effect because you tend to go, well, that tree has been here a fuck of a lot longer than I have and it's going to be around way after I'm gone, you know, or that sky or, you know, whatever. And that's really, really helpful to get out of your own head. I find it extremely, extremely helpful. Yeah, I think as I picture it because of some of my, again, my favorite thing to do is just to walk from one side of the island to the next, I feel like when you're nature, you have that feeling of you're small and this is so much bigger than you. And then when you go out and you do the city walk we're talking about, you're putting a perspective because you're like every single one of these people cares about their own life as much as I care about my life. And they're all just doing business and struggling your lab. or crying, or trying to run their business, or wait in line, or whatever it is, and whatever problems I have, they all experience it exactly how I do, except for it for them. So, is it bizarre to think that those people all should care about me when I don't care about them? It's the kind of spit in your own mouth theory I have, which is your own spit in your own mouth is absolutely fine, but if somebody else spit in your mouth, it'd be the grossest thing in the world, although their spit is fine for them and their mouth. I got it, I'm going to have to digest that for a while. Well, maybe it's not a good corona metaphor. No, I just don't quite know what it's a metaphor for. I get the reality of it, the reality of it is really, really amusing. And that's 100% pure, and this is not sure what it explains to me what it's a metaphor. Well, it's sort of like, your spit is not dangerous, and my spit is not dangerous, theoretically. And you are completely fine with a mouthful of your own spit all the time, but if you had a mouthful of my spit, you'd never stop throwing up. Right. And it's, and the metaphor is sort of like everyone is in their own life. And if, and, and can't really think about other people picturing them like, like we picture them and they picture us, which is they don't care. I mean, if you put Kevin Bacon spit in my mouth and you didn't tell me, then I'd be fine with it. It's somehow this weird awareness, like all our spit is special, but it's really not. It's just spit, just, just have to be our spit. I probably didn't do a good job of explaining that, but that's, no, no, I love it. I love it. I love it. I love that. I love that tonight. Are you out? You're, you're an LA half the, half the year. Oh, yeah, it's kind of, we it's not really. We don't really. It's not organized in that kind of way, but, but yeah, we, we have a place out here. My kids are out here too, so that's a good reason to hear. You last, well, two last questions for you. Your parents were older when they had you, but I'm guessing they were around to see a lot of your success. Uh-huh. Yeah. They were. They were. Yeah. I always, always think about that when they're gone, they've passed now, right? Yeah. Yeah, they're gone now. Yeah. I always, I always, I don't know why. It's a weird thing. I mean, when someone is really successful and sometimes that older parents or their parents pass, I always hope that their parents saw much of their success before they left. No, they did. Then they were absolutely thrilled and they were like crazy, crazy, I mean, I told that one story about my mother, you know, but, but as I said that, they were super, super supportive, even I'm just like the worst piece of shit that I would do, you know, just, just dreadful. And they'd be like, you know, but you really showed something, you know, and they were of a letter writing generation, you know, some horrible, you know, like Friday the 13th or something was like, I was in the first Friday, the 13th, like that would come out, like, besides me, nothing very good in it. You know, the movie is exactly the opposite. I'd move back there. I said, like, you know, and then they'd write a letter. Great job. And Friday the 13th. I love that. I love that. It's, it's so often goes another direction with parents. It does. Yeah. So often. They're never, you know, it never seems to be because I've interviewed a million celebrities. There's never a, what I, it's just a sort of healthy middle ground. There's either complete lack of recognition whatsoever and dismissive or I'm going to write you glowing letters, even if the movie sucked. There's not a lot of, but real in the middle. I don't know. I'm glad you're on the happy side of that equation. Yes. Thank you. Thank you. I am too.

Freddie Frances Rodriguez, hashtag Twitter #toprop who I want to request. Lots to talk about. Lots to complain about. A cool thing to share with you guys coming up very soon, Dawson, I'll prepare you for that. And then some songs to play and things like that. First off, this happened. I never stopped with this, but it happened last two weeks ago when I was shooting my TV pilot. Same thing. There's a crew of 60, 50, 60 people running around someone's house and somebody's going on a lunch run. And they're going to Quiznos because we're in Corona or something. And they're what are you going to do? And they're going to Quiznos and we got 50, 60 people. We don't have time to get everyone's personal order. Get some subs. We've got order a bunch of subs and a couple of salads, big salads and some plastic plates and sporks and we'll do it on the fly. So that's what they do. And what happens? The multiple boxes of like half subs come back. And then this procedure begins. It's the Turkey Supreme and then they got the Smoke Turkey Club and then they have the Beef, whatever and then there's the Veggie Lovers except for they should. There should be a class action lawsuit about the word lover in Veggie. They should be like the Veggie Tolerators or the Pussy Lovers who don't really love Pussy but they love Veggies. But either way, there's a box of Turkey Club and then there's the box of the Veggies. And what happens? Well, of course, the crew who's made up of a bunch of camera dudes are like the most solid stout dudes on the planet and by and large the grips and all that they'll just go right for the Turkey. And then it's all the Turkey's gone and then the beef is gone and then there's Turkey used to be the Veggie, by the way. It used to be the Veggie, right? That would be first the beef would go then the Turkey go or the brisket and then the now there's a box and the box has 26 Veggie subs. By the way, there's nothing I would rather just take a salad than a Veggie sub. It's taking the bread and putting the lettuce and the mayonnaise between it, it's like something 's missing. You know, like I can, yeah, I can take a plain pizza or. or a veggie pizza, or just pizza with mushroom on it, but a sub sandwich minus the meat is porn minus the cock as my grandfather used to-- - I know the cock was the your favorite part of the porn. - No, but it's essential. - Not worth eating. - And it's what it does to the porn. - I do. - So it is, you remove the meat, yes. - And it's not good, but what happens is somebody does this thing where they go, all right, the vegetarians need to be represented clearly, just like the people who like decaf coffee need to be represented clearly, just like the people like horrible donuts with sprinkles on it need to be except for, how many decaf drinkers are there in this group of 50? Over-unders two, how many vegetarians in this group? - Four. - This is four. - We're shooting something for Spike TV, you know what I mean? That's not, it's not Oprah's network. It's, it's Spike, I don't know if there was one. So then what happens is everything gets cleared out with protein in it, and then there's the box with the veggie thing, and somehow it gets fucked up where the box that has that says, you know, turkey supreme on it gets the lid gets set on top or the thing, there's a fake out move where you go, oh, and you open it up and you start looking at it and you're doing the math and it's the wilted lettuce. And I don't know who decided that the bell pepper, bell pepper must have a hell of a lobby. - Hell of a lobby. - Hell of a lobby. - Michael Richie's publicist. - Nicole Richie's publicist must also work for bell pepper because bell pepper, I like 'em, but not raw, but, oh, all right, make it a face. Nobody likes bell pepper raw between, like, on a sandwich. It's just, it's not. - Then your whole thing tastes like bitter bell pepper. - Yes, it's not offered, it's, when you order a burger, you get the cheese, you can get an onion, you can get a red onion, you white onion, you can get mushroom, you can get, almost whatever you want, bell pepper, not an option, or if it's a 28. - I feel like C-A has been representing the banana pepper the last few years. That's doing very well, but a lot of work. - Yeah, they've, they've stepped it up. There's no dad. - The package it. - But the package it, so bell pepper is fine when it's diced up, thrown in a walk with a bunch of other good ingredients that are much better than it is. There's no bell pepper on its own. What's a blue moon? You see a maniacal eats one, like an apple, and they stand by it? Oh, no, no, it do, you've not. And especially the green one. - Wash it down with a radish. - Yeah, the red, the red one, find the orange or yellow one fine, but just about, so you have a, you have a horrible sandwich. And oftentimes there's no cheese in it because it's the sort of vegan-y, what about you? So now there's a box. Now two boxes filled with sandwiches that nobody wants to eat. And my new solution is if you're a vegetarian and/or you're into D-Calf, which now that's can't hang, first we couldn't hang, now I wanna put you in the ground. You're fucking up my life. And now how are you fucking up my life? Well, I just love D-Calf and I want a vegetarian. I love bell peppers. Okay, here's how you're fucking up my life. When I stumble out to the continental breakfast over there at 11 o'clock, which means sloppy seconds and then some over at the freebie at the Ramada Inn, there's two towers that hold the coffee. One is empty, that had coffee in it. The other's full, that has D-Calf in it. If you weren't born, they both could have coffee, coffee in them. And let me just say this. Also, what if you just have a weird German foot fetish? Should you be represented at the buffet? Hey, there should be a tower of feet. You're into something weird that no one else is into. Now go fucking find it. Chris Salads, foot fetish porn. You, look, you're into foot fetish. I dig it. Believe me out of it. You're cutting into my stash, you know what I'm saying? And the same with the fucking food, because there should be another box of turkey club. But there is not another box of turkey clubs because the veggies have to be represented. Shouldn't the solution just be 30, maybe 20 seconds of any vegetable ingredients here? Any vegetable, like 20 seconds. It never, it's never, first off the person never gets beaten up for variety. It's the same with the fucking trail mix. They go and they get the fucking honey roasted peanuts and the cashews and smoked almonds, and then the trail mix. And eventually trail mix gets eaten. That's the other thing. Since eventually these sandwiches, because people get desperate, they start picking stuff out of it, and they'll just eat the bun or whatever, because they'll be four hours later and the crew starts getting peckish. So that's what happens. But now here's the deal. I like this plan. It may feel to this side of the console a little too much like Germany circa 1938. But I like these people tags. Still on the rise. I'd like them tagged. I'm trying to camp where they could go. I want to, I want to, I think you just want to start with our bands. We want to start with our bands. No, I want-- What did you come for on it? I would like if you're-- We're making a list. I'm sort of star of dipshit. Yes, star of dipshit. If you are vegetarian and/or into de-caf coffee, I want your own live-strong bracelet. Live week. Yeah, it's going to be pink and you can put it on. And then we'll be able to sort of monitor you. First off, I'll decide whether I want to work with you or not. You will not be hired. Number one, you'll be discriminated against. But, or just put on a green beanie or something. But I want to know who you are, because I suspect with this spike TV pilot I did out of the 50 people. I'll be generous and say five people. We're vegetarian. Those five people can go ahead and remove the turkey from the sandwiches we've already bought. Or you can just get three and let them fucking fight over it. Though I will say I did some work with, I've worked with spike quite a bit. They have a-- these executives, ironically, there's a lot of women. Yeah. They might have been the ones who get a lot of veg. They were not there. They do not see-- that's the whole point. Nobody ever does-- everyone does the same thing. They go get-- go get a plain cheese, go get pepperoni, and go get a veggie lover. Meanwhile, what percentage of people are veggie lovers in the fucking group? There may be zero. I don't think there are any vegetarians who work here. But yeah, if someone's going on a pizza run, you're throwing a party. You've got to represent. And then there's a lot of shitty pizza, subs, and then de-calf. De-calf, 50/50 ratio, do you know a de-calf person? Like, I know the person that orders the de-calf at 10 o'clock at night in a diner. I'm married to de-calf person. So I'm going to leave her. I'm announcing honey. It's over. Yeah. I can't respect you anymore. Why don't you stay around and really punish her? [LAUGHTER] But in the morning-- You're going to look to fame. Exactly. Long job. Long game. Long game. Exactly. In the morning, is she like, I've got to have my coffee. No. Right? Yeah. There's just people-- I just like it sometimes. My car gets doesn't drink coffee. But he doesn't drink de-calf either. He doesn't care for coffee. It's weird. I mean, I don't know. It's the near beer of-- but at least near beer, possibly, is I had a problem or non-alcoholic beers. I wanted to drink this, but I lost control of it. But really, is there any reason it should be there? And especially represented, 50/50. I would love-- somebody look up Starbucks. I would love when they come back well into the single digits of people who order de-calf at a Starbucks. Yes. I can't remember the last time I heard someone order a non-regular coffee, not at night. I'd tell you how many de-calfs-- You've been in a Starbucks line a million times. You've heard them shout out the whatever. They've never-- You ever hear de-calf? Waitresses or waiters? Twitter us and let us know. What percentage of your customers or de-calf coffee during the day-- Adam, you've given me an idea. I think there needs to be, instead of, like, a Ask G's or Siri, I think someone needs to ask Adam, like, for a guy, like, the idiot having to go pick up all the sandwiches. They could just have a way to get your answer on what they should do. Well, versus virtual services. The first thing is, again, when you put yourself in a category that is not the norm, then that's fine. But if you are committed vegetarian, perhaps-- I mean, if you're kosher, if you're Muslim, then perhaps it's up to you to bring a lunch. You've made a choice that's sort of exotic for where we are. If you want to a Muslim country, then your choice-- in my choice for the Kielbasa sandwich-- would be a strange choice. But I would want to provide that, then. I wouldn't expect, hey, hey, hey, Mohammed. Where's the Kielbasa? I know that sounds very-- Well, the mom would have the Kielbasa. It probably sounds like a very weird person. That's what you say when you're watching porn without cock, too. Yeah, speaking of-- All over the world, Adam, black people are sneezing right now at that comment. Unless nobody tweeting me that you've seen a black person sneeze in the wild, I understand it happens. I just don't think it's the ratio. In the wild? I felt uncomfortable with that, as well. All right, now-- Legend has it. Where would you guys place this? And then I sort of felt like a woman feels today, which is this. Hot drop. I was talking about my fireproof long johns that I wear when I do my car racing. And I was explaining to Dr. Drew that I put them on in LA last week before I went into this race in Sonoma, because I was so pressed for time. I got into my fireproof socks long johns. And it's a sort of a little mini turtle neck long sleeve thing. And I wore it out to the track. I mean, I wore stuff over it. then I change my fire suit blah blah blah. And I said they infuse this stuff. It's a really smart move. It's a company called Sparko. They make high-end racing stuff. They infuse it with mint. So the shit smells like mint. Because when you take your fire suit off, you are wet. I mean, you're sopping wet. You sweat because you're wearing gloves, helmet, a hood. You're wearing everything 100 degrees. You're completely sweated through the thing. So they infuse it with mint. So Drew says, let me smell that. Let me see what that smells like. So we go and we get, I say, well, just go get my top. I don't need to get the bottom. But for some reason, I think a breakthrough moment for you too. It was a bonding moment. It was a little bit weird. So for some reason, I only have the bottoms here because I changed and then I went and did my wine tasting. Then Drew and I did a show and I was wearing the bottoms the whole day. It's a long story. But he got the bottoms and he gave a smell. I never drew it. I handed him the leg and I'm talking below the knee, just the part where there's a little elastic that goes around the ankle. And I said, here's, I'll pick out a nice part and you can smell the mint and he smelled the mint. And then he said, let me see if I can tell the front or the back here. Oh, wow. Yeah. And then he turned around and he went, Oh, oh, that's all balls. That's all balls. Not JV as it's a great diffract. I would say he went, Oh, that is all boy. I got the front, baby. That is all balls. And I said, yeah, well, there's just not enough mint in circulation to stop that, especially with the six-way harness and belted into the suit and a lot of nerve sweat going on. I didn't give myself the talc dusting that I normally do before I left the house. And he said, that's all balls. And then he, he wanted a second shot at it. And I said, uh, I said, no, I said, no. Now, how did you feel violated? He said, he said, yeah, he said, what do you care? And I said, I don't know, what's a woman care if I said, just leave your shoes. I'm going to beat off on him. And you know, you're like, oh, no, no, you don't have to be in the room. You can split. You know, you're like, no, I don't want to think about what you're doing to this stuff. I felt weird. Yeah. And weird for guy who has a zero moral compass and a complete atheist and has no problem with, you know, my, my spent, but the, the, the majority of my early years, my friends, peeing on me, uh, I was like, nah, now I'll hold them. And so he's like, now, now he is a doctor. But now I'm wondering, was this the doctor part of him or some other part? I understand this concept, that part where somebody goes, like, when you walk into the men's room and some guys, some good Samaritans walking out and goes, uh, look out, there's trouble or something. And there's that part of you where you almost have to give a little sample sniff. Like, you just have to, I don't know, it's just me like, I have to do the sample sniff. And I do understand that part where if something is bad, I don't know, it's equivalent to you having a tooth that's loose and you're flicking it with your tongue a lot, you know, there's that little part that hurts a little yeah, I push on bruises. Yeah, yeah. Right. Right. So there is need to immerse in the horror that's unfolding. Right. I don't, I don't feel like I need to double back on the sack. We know it ironically with no sniff. I feel this is so appropriate. So when I was in Vegas, I picked you up some fireproof long johns with passion fruit. I think you're going to be very good. That is the wave of my sack future. So Drew wanted it again. Was it because he couldn't believe it or was he just hooked on the scent of your balls? What was going on? There's something that he's attracted to about farting and sack and and all that kind of stuff. And it was my soulmate. It was funny. And he just, he wanted to double back on it. And I said, like, no. And then I sort of plop them down here and he didn't make much of it. And then when the show ended, he picked them up. He started walking out with them. And I'm like, where are you heading? You know? And he's like, Oh, these things. I don't know. And he's like throwing it on the counter. But it's a testing too much. This in thing was to his instinct was to grab for them to walk out. And again, I think it's a doctor thing because a doctor will sniff something if it's like infected or something like that. They will. Oh, you think he was getting a whiff of something? No, I don't think he was making a judgment call. I think it's like dogs sniff. And you can't tell them not to sniff. And they don't have a mode where they're not sniffing. And I wonder if doctors, first off, they're used to being over cadavers. He had a cadaver assigned to him. Which man's hobo power? Yes. That's what's going on. It's right. Hobo power for millionaires who have race cars. Right. So that was nice. The other thing that you would find entertaining from this is I went directly to the track and in my long johns and I ran right into my trailer and I immediately got into my bright red fire suit. We might find a picture of me and my bright red fire suit. And it's red. And I reason I got right into my bright red fire suit and my driving shoes is because I was going out to qualify moments after I was giving my little talk Q&A to the folks at the track. So that a room set aside, some VIP thing, 30 people set up, some chairs, I was going to sit there. They're going to introduce me. I was going to sit there. And it was literally at three or three, 15. And then I was qualifying a four or five. But I mean, I had to start getting, you start getting in these cars a little bit early and getting Shuffle belted in and nets up and stuff like that sort of acclimated and takes a little while. So I got my fire suit. I'm going, so I'm going to go right in the car. And I sat there and was taking questions. We were talking about cars and blah, blah, blah. And at some point, about eight questions in a woman in the back said, and I don't know if we should wait for this fire suit picture. See how funny if it makes it any funny or not. But anyway, bright red fire suit. And it's glossy. She said about eight questions in about half hour in. She said, "Do you ever want to drive a car or is it just tell you just good enough to walk around the track and say hi to people and look at the cars?" And I went, "Oh no, I'm driving. I drive every event." And then I went, "Oh my god, I'm sitting here in a fire suit." And then I thought, "Oh my god, what a douchebag. You must think I am to climb into this fire suit and walk around, make my rounds, lecturing people about, and then go up into the grandstands in my fire suit." Like Dr. Oz and his scrubs. Yes, like, well, oh, yeah, not quite that bad. Yeah, like I just fucking scrubs on all the time. How'd it been the case that would have been that bad? It would have been equally bad. Thank Christy asked the question because that would have just been a human being that went back and went, "This guy fucking walks around the right fire suit." And then I realized all those douchebags, you know, the guys are in their 40s and they're 30 pounds overweight and they're wearing the full Sanzano sponsorship on their 10 speed or 7/11 or something, like you're not sponsored by these. You're not, you don't wear, you're not supposed to be wearing this stuff. You have to kind of earn that, that thing anyway. It would be like damage that's showing up for his NFL network job in a full pads and uniform helmet. The lamp light under his eyes. All right, Dawson, I have something. It's a world premiere. A world premiere, everybody. I went last week, went over to a family guy and did a little pickup work and talked to a good friend, Michael Naran, who does all our animation for us. And he is a hard at work on my Mangria campaign, but we did a little, he's working on the animation, but I thought it'd be fun to let you guys hear at least the audio part of the new Mangria commercial. Dawson, you got it? Now Mangria presents the world's most interesting man's ex-wife. The most interesting man in the world. He claims he's from Spain. He was born in Burbank. His father was a famous onmaker. He worked at a cinema. He spent his Saturdays walking around Costco filling up on three samples. He's terrified of dragonflies. He was on disability for three years for what he called environmental allergies. He claims to be a tourist, but he's really a dick. I told him for his 40th birthday, he could bring someone new into a bedroom. I got home that night. I somebody's been not getting started before mommy. What the fuck? I don't always drink. But when I want to forget my lying ass clown of an ex-husband who's traveling the world with a suitcase full of bullshit, I prefer Mangria. I miss her. That's her cat getting drunk and full of the dead. That's very funny. Is that sounds like you got Rosie, prison, Pam, Adelaan, mixed up and is it a fun minute? That sounds like a lot of you, Bob. Really funny. Yeah, she's great. It's great about her. She did, it's a 55-year-old heavy-set Hispanic woman sitting at her apartment in her kitchen table in her apartment, but she did a young, if you notice, when she did her 35-year-old version of herself, she. She was younger. She made herself sound 15 years younger when she was walking in on the world's most interesting men. - You want more peppy. - And the dude in there, yeah. So hopefully we'll do a nice ongoing series. Yeah, it's interesting sitting around coming up with things that the world's most interesting men. That was one of my favorites was, I think it was Mike Lynch's, which he walks around Costco all Saturday. I feel like up for example. - Well that one was mine, but thank you. I know, it's just bizarre. It's good to be bizarre for once and while. Oh, righty, then. David Wilde is here. David has a song. I have a song that's a little interesting, a little interesting of a twist to it. All right, David Wilde. Last week, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. - Watch that. - Yeah, what do you think? - I love it. I always love it. - I was there. It was a good one. - It was a good one. I feel like they're getting better every year. I don't feel like they were as good 10 years ago when they were doing it outdoors or whatever it was. But when you get world class musicians up there and they're all just jamming and you can tell everyone's just digging on everyone's vibe. - And your big question about John Mayer being a douchebag or not, he did such a great job. - I know. - With Albert King presentation. - Yeah, very non douchebag. - Yeah, and it's just great to see everyone up there. And the backing band and the horns and all that. They're always the backup singers and everything are so world class that everything just sounds phenomenal. Although there was one part where they went to the audience after just somebody just belted something out and of course the dude was sitting there texting. One chick standing up like clapping, like just cheering her head off after Jennifer Hudson just belted just kick the shit out of some Donna Summersong. And then there's always that asshole just sitting there texting. And it's like I get angry when people are supposed to be applauding and people are just sitting there. Like I don't know what world you come from. Well, planet douchebag. I know that much I know. But first off, few questions. Why are you there? Why are you there to catch up on texting? - So you can say you were there the next day. - All right, and when somebody says whatever, like if I'm fucking sitting there and I'm holding a beer and it's not even a show, they're just like, and I wanna introduce the sales team. Herb Westfeld, I'll put the fucking beer in my mouth and hold it with a cup with my teeth and just go, you know, 'cause I don't wanna be the fucking person sitting there not clapping for herb Westfeld. - I've noticed that I've been clapping when we were on stage at the end of our shows when you're thanking all of us. And then I think, is that appropriate or do I- - That's good. - But it looks like a douchebag 'cause I'm clapping for me. - I do the leg thing, if I got a hand, if I have like a donut in a hand or something or a hot down my hand, do the leg thing. I should invent clapping slacks. - Yeah, absolutely. - So slacks don't work well. Yeah, just a palm-faced up there. I'll use them with my sweaty palm slacks where it has to dry, the dry hair, come on. - You're just gonna be shaking someone's, you'd be shaking your pants hands. - So other than the guy texting and ruining it for me. And I don't know, look, the song's over. Everyone's standing up. Everyone's cheering, everyone's going nuts. That she just finished belting out, let's dance. You know, what are you doing? How fucking tuned out? I don't know how you could be that tuned out. - These texting performance was so great, I think. - I'm sure he was, but everyone is now standing up. And there was no, it didn't end by somebody pulling the plug on an amp. It was a big fucking crescendo. - Christy does this, or at least at once, during a Jay-Z concert, she was so excited about it. For weeks, weeks, she was excited to go to the concert. She was excited, and then she's, but the whole time, Facebook, about how amazing it was. I'm like, you are supposed to be getting lost in the sound. This is a concert I'm excited for. How much of us are missing what percentage of concerts are we supposed to work? - I completely agree, you said the guy who tweeted 400 photos during the Billboard Awards, so did I. - All right, that wild about music. - So, sorry, that's right. Do you have, David Wilde, do you have a memorial day song? - Yeah, well, in fact, I have to tell you, in Vegas, one of your biggest fans, Michelle, gave me a ringtone of my theme song, so it reminded me to get back to playing the songs. I'm gonna go-- - Michelle Branch. - No, you know, not Michelle. No, a non-famous Michelle. - A non-famous Michelle. - A famous to me. - No, there it is. - Oh, yeah, we need a theme song. - Yeah, we're singing here with David Wilde, not much taller than a ten-year-old child, not the best-looking guy in the place. Gallagher's hair. ♪ Debuto's face ♪ - Make so much money. - The great song. ♪ A brilliant writer ♪ ♪ He ever did shows ♪ - Billy Joel's gonna be driving the work that's been here last night. ♪ He's been playing with you here ♪ - How do I say it first? Tell me in a bit. - He's just dropping it. ♪ Yeah, we're singing, we're with David Wilde ♪ - I'm gonna go for, I just, on the way here, was listening to you and your theory about black people sneezing. And I decided, we play a lot of the honky artist on this segment, so I wanted to go more eclectic than that. So I'm gonna go with the idea of Memorial Day being the beginning of the summer. And this is a very white song done by a very soulful, black group that's, this is the Isley Brothers version of Summer Breeze. - How are you? - With the greatest unknown guitar, lesser known guitar god of all time, Ernie Isley, who, if you get to the guitar, just listen, the guy was the master of phased guitar. (sad music) - Wow. - But there's no sneezing in it. - During their cocaine years, I think there was a great deal of sneezing. (sad music) - Isley Brothers had made a comeback about 10 years ago, didn't they? - And Ron Isley, the great sort of lead vocalist, he was out of prison for a few years, then he came back produced, you know, and had another couple hits. So yeah, they've never really died. They've been going since the early '60s. Here's the guitar, that phased. - Wow, yeah. - Now what ears this from? - '70, I would guess '74 or '75, I would guess. I didn't do much research about it, just remember how much I loved it, because on the way here, that guitar is just beautiful. And the original, my seals and crocs, is beautiful too, but this is just exquisite. And they did a lot of rock covers. They did hello, it's me, they did love the one you're with, and they were all hits in the '70s. That'd be a weird song when you're telling your black musician buddies. What do you want to do? When we'll cover that seals and crocs. They, the guys, make that fucked up puppet shows on Saturday morning? Now, it's two different dudes. They sing a song called Summer Praise. I don't know what the fuck that is. I'm from the same area where the Aussie Brothers, they had a record company called Kineck Records, which was Kineck, New Jersey, where they lived for a while. Then they moved to where my dad, my late great dad lived in Alpine, New Jersey. And they started to build a mansion for themselves, like a mosque, in a very Jewish rich area. Wow. They ran into tax problems. They never finished this building. So there was an incomplete giant mosque-like structure in the middle of where a bunch of old rich Jews lived. And I swear to God, I remember when I was taking a walk once, and seeing old rich Jewish ladies throwing rocks at it, trying to knock it down. Good news is, old Jewish women don't have cannons. They're from right arms. They lost a new boss for our own boss ball. They are persistent. They got a lot of movement on the rock. But they just don't have a lot of velocity. That's case there are that transition to kind of wildy veterans. They get a little bit of movement. It's right, right? Yeah, do it. They're hard to catch for that reason. How do we wear bigger gloves? This is great because it's like the blackest version of the widest song on the planet. Exactly. This isn't crossed for the widest people on the planet. Not just, maybe see pictures of them. Well, they were also, they were by faith. I'm very ignorant about this. But they were, you know, they were, they eventually got in a lot of trouble with the song. They did called "Unborn Child." They came out against abortion and the pop song. More than Paul Anka. And that was one of, and then they, I think they eventually just sort of went with their religion. But they were great. Wait a minute. More than Paul Anka. But you're talking about having my baby? Yes. Well, that, I don't know. Was that a, that, I was just made me want to never eat again. I wasn't like, I didn't come away with a, that was just the worst song ever. That was a creepiest song ever, I've ever heard, but that was against abortion. Yeah, yeah. By the way, I know him. Can I get him in here? You would love him. He's got some stories. We get him. And we can debate for my seed in you. Watch it grow in. That was the creepiest song ever. But I mean, I guess it was sort of pro life, but I didn't know it wasn't. I mean, pro, can't pro life just be pro life. Like, I like kids. I like life. You know, this is a beautiful thing. Yeah, that was the height of what he was saying. Was he saying anything about abortion, that song? You could have, could have struck it from you. What's that one? There was a lot. Yeah. I didn't have to do it. Could have struck it from you. Yeah. You know, don't piss on my seed or whatever the lyric was. Yeah. It was class. You write DNC with you and me. Which, by the way, while this beautiful song is playing, I buried the lead. When I was in Vegas, at the Billboard Awards, I ran into the publicist of Rick Springfield. Uh-huh. Who frankly owes me a few shekels, as we say in the trade. Yeah. And I said, "I'm going to wipe out the debt if he comes into the Adam Corolla show." So it'd be nice. I think, you would like to have Rick. Can I? Yeah, I've worked with him. He's great. He's actually, I'm a Rick fan. I fought him, dude. What? This is Dr. Drew's story about the pants. There's fighting. There's a whole new-- Yeah. The whole new you day I uh, I uh, I honestly brothers. Um, I did a bit for Kimmel, um, where I played, uh, we can maybe look it up. I don't know, Kimmel bit. I played like a Colonel Duke lacrosse, I think, and I was, um, I, I think it was called the Hellenback or something. And the story basically was I as a, as a, as a, as a trained, you know, Navy seal or green beret or whatever had to go to hell to get there. Here's, here's what, here's, all right, here's what's going on. It's actually a decent story. There's a new, uh, all right, we have it. So hang on to it for a second. Um, there was something that the, I don't know, the Bible or Nostradamus or something prophesized about and that this new, uh, basically Hitler-esque Stalin-esque character that was taking over the world. And there was no way to stop him. The only way to stop him was to go to hell and to basically talk to Hitler and the rest of those guys and figure out they knew how to stop him or, or to go find Nostradamus or whatever. And then we got to go to hell and there were some monks that, you know, guarded a, a port hole, the hell. And I was Colonel Duke across who was going back into hell to go get this information. But I had, I only had 24 hours or whatever it was to get back out of this port hole. Otherwise, I would never be able to leave hell. Um, hmm, while I was there, I met a beautiful young woman. I, she was in hell because I think she had, I think she, I, I, I can't remember the story, but she somehow gave it up sexually or something at two young an age. And then she was fine after that, but she, she got, she went to hell. Oh, no. Oh, no. Sorry. Sorry. She committed suicide. Yeah. She was a beautiful young woman who committed suicide over her lover, whatever it is. And technically was in hell because anyone to commit suicide goes hell. She became my love interest in hell, but only one person could escape this port hole. And of course, I'm in love, but I want to take her with me, but I can't take her with me. I have to take this information with me to save the world. I didn't turn you in a movie or is this a movie? It's an idea that I thought up and we did a short of it. And I ended up fighting Rick Springfield in it because he was in hell. We'll take a look at it. I can't remember what it's called the hell and back or something. Oh, my God. That sounds so good. Yeah. It's called the hell and back. Yeah. We can take a look at it. And you can look it up on YouTube if you want. Yeah. I can't learn a headlock. Yeah. I can't listen to headlock. I'm fighting. I can't learn. Like I'm a devil staying out of it. He's like on the sideline. Yeah, I just killed it. Wow. Now, why can I ask you one question? Why are you naked? Well, you can't bring any physical, material objects into it. But why does Hitler have his whole uniform on me? He was grandfather then. Oh, he was. Yeah, he went the hell long time ago. There's a different rule. It looks like something else to see. Yeah. I look forward to it. When is that coming out? Well, we got more to see. What do you mean? I go back to hell. Oh, there's another one in this. Yeah. Look what I do to Osama. Yeah, he was crushing him when I died. He wasn't, Osama wasn't, uh, wasn't a hell back then. Thanks, Grandpa. Oh, my grandpa gave me no joke. Hey, Osama. I'll see you. Yeah, to hell and back. Yeah. One drug psychic. If you're looking for a PT 13, by the way, but that's still up for crack. Again, it's called, uh, what is it called? Hell and back. To hell and back. Yeah. Congratulations on that. Thank you. Uh, we did. We have one more. Oh, you do. We have one other. Yeah. It's in the future. It's a trilogy. Yeah, it's the future. ♪ If you don't talk, destroy ♪ Rick Springfield. Is that, is that Rick Springfield? Yeah. Okay, all right. All right. Yeah. ♪ If you don't talk, destroy ♪ ♪ You know he'll only use you ♪ ♪ The devil's walking out behind him. Springfield. It's go time. Hey, I don't want any trouble. All right. Another way in a long time for this. Oh, classic run-even time to check back in the general hospital. Let's just smack this head off and let's get started. Look at nude white jangers. That's brilliant. That looks really good. Uh, okay. I got to tell you the best part about the whole experience. I'm nude, strangling Hitler, and Uncle Frank Watson, eating a sandwich. That's how it looks. Yeah. Why did Rick Springfield inhale, by the way? Well, I don't know if you heard about it, but a little adulterous affair with a friend of his. Remember, he liked his friend's girlfriend? Oh, no, that's not her dating her. That's Jesse's girlfriend. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, no, he didn't. Oh, he really did that. I really knew him. Yeah. And life-guarret passed. Oh, that's why I think I'm trying to kill him now. All right. Oh, yeah. So I have some history with Rick Springfield. Then he's got to come in. I'm going to work on that. That was funny. He was evil, evil Rick. I tried to kill him with his guitar. I love the devil just sitting on the sidelines. Like, let's just, let's, let's just play out a roadie. Yeah. Yeah, forget about doing that bit. What was that? Where was that? I used to do a lot of bits on Kimmel's show when I was working there as a writer. Probably, I don't know, 2000 or 2006. Yeah, that was on the later ones. I used to do earlier ones. I do these, like, you know, I had these movie projects constantly going. I would go out and launch one. But most, I must say that a lot of my cookie, like Navigaten, where the evil satellite takes over the navigation system and all the cars and starts driving everyone into the Grand Canyon and stuff like that. They're not, they're on a par with many of the action movies that are pitched today. I would say, I would watch to Hellenback. Oh, if there was Kickstarter then, there would already be four or five of the Hellenback series from your mouth that God's years. All right, your song, you know what I'm saying? My song. All right, last week we lost one of the greats Rayman's Eric from the Doors. And somebody tweeted me and they tweeted me that I did not know this, that not only obviously in the Doors, but he produced a lot of stuff. X, and he produced it, produced X. And one of my favorite X songs was a song, was often known that he produced. And it's so underappreciated, well, this is my favorite X song too. Good, it should be, should be everyone's favorite X song. If you love the harmony, Kondo and X-Z. Oh. It's catchy, there's nothing better than punk pop. Punky pop, yeah, punky poppy. Because it's salt and sugar. Like, the pure punk is just a little too salty. And the pure pop's a little too much sugar. But when you take the salt, it's like a, it's a good caramel corn. It's got a little salt, little salt. It's so funny because, you know, I grew up in the East Coast. And in the East Coast X, like, in fact, it rolling stone, like, that was the least favorite group for Jan to have us mention was X. Because he was always like, critics like X, people don't like X. Because in the East Coast, that was kind of true. But we had the Ramones, we had, but here X were a real, a real thing. It's weird, because all, you can tell where everyone, all my Bostonian friends and stuff, they're like, I have no idea what you're talking about, when you're talking about these bands, because they were just played out here. And you know who's the weird version of East Coast? And not so much on the West Coast? Meatloaf, bad out of hell was a massive album. Yes. Not that big here, like, where I was. Not Southern California. I don't know if any W, where I was listening, or Cleveland, or any, it was massive. Yeah, like all my friends from Philly and stuff are like, oh, we got to, every every song memorized and like I've heard meatloaf and I've heard these songs but they never got any rotation at all over and on any K-rock app probably. This would include just rock stations and stuff. They just didn't just didn't get played that much. It was weird. It just never really. Yeah, my introduction to meatloaf was from a friend from Chicago. Right, because you lived here. I never heard the songs, right? Yeah, meatloaf. I swear to God Southern California to be the smallest market for a guy. For now in the salt. 15 million copies, he didn't sell too many of them in North Hollywood. But then X, Jack Scott. Whatever happened in a regional band. Like bands that were big in a certain. Like I grew up in the Bay area and to me tower a power, or at least in my family, I was like the biggest band around. And of course they were sort of limited to that area. More popular there than other places. Well part of what happened is. The internet, I guess. Yeah, in the music industry now they look. They wait for anything to break regionally, and it's immediately jumped on. Things don't stay regional very long. David Wilde, you can Twitter him at Wilde About Music. Not only can you, you should. Oh yes, you shall. And you will. I'm going to be going for a few weeks, so you got to push it hard this time. Twitter, Wilde About Music, and also website. Okay, let's see what we got. We have me thinking about dads and grads and how awful that is and how anytime anyone says it, it makes me think, are you even listening to what you're saying? Well it's kind of like the ad guy who goes, hey we're going to do this thing with the Dodgers and Pepsi. So how about this? Hit a home run with your family and be a, be a, be an all-star by bringing home two leaders to Pepsi and like someone goes, stay in that is so fucked out. Like the side of it go that is so wildly fucked out with hit a home run. You know that, that's the stupid. Whenever they do that baseball thing for union 76 or something, don't get called out at the gas station. Hit a home run with union 76. Does there not a human being in that fucking ad? Is that the official gas station of MLB? Yeah, somebody say that is a, first off my fucking daughter with Down syndrome could have come up with that. Like we hired you at this agency because we thought you had an ounce of creativity. That is a fucking zero and not only is it a zero, it was mildly clever the first time it was come up with in 1929. It's been used 250,000 times since then. Stop. Come up with something smart. All right, Monica Methis here. She is works for CNBC. I'm guessing. Yes. And an author I believe. Yes, that's what we want to talk about. Book time. It's book time baby. Yeah, I want to talk about the entrepreneurial instinct and we'll get into that next. That's dirty. The Adam Corolla show honors journalistic excellence with another great moment in local news. So how long have you had an STD? I don't have an STD. Oh, the mind that you want to talk. The spirit of Muro and Cronkite live on. Now back to the Adam Corolla show. I think we played that from New Orleans. New Orleans. I enjoyed that one for some reason. Yeah, it was the way she dealt with people getting in the back of her shot. Yeah, Monica Methis there. I'm going fast saying it fast. Hello. It's M-E-H-T-A. By the way, if in you want to find Monica. The book is the entrepreneurial instinct. How everyone has the innate ability to start a successful small business. I do feel that way and unfortunately takes a lot of work and everyone seems to want to know what the secret is. I don't think there is a secret. Do you have a secret? I definitely have new things to share and the reason I wrote this book is because I spent most of my life doing exactly what society trains you to do when you want to start a business. I got good grades in school. I went to the best school I could get into, the best Ivy League program for small business. Majority and entrepreneurship worked as a venture capitalist. Basically, jump through every single hoop that you're supposed to jump through or society tells you to jump through. And found at the end of the day I could write killer business plans but couldn't take the risks that someone needs to take to start a small business. And it was exceptionally frustrating for me because I'm the daughter of self-made immigrants. And my dad was a merchant marine ships captain and my mom was an artist and we sailed around when I was little. And we hit this point where I was hitting the age that you have to go to school. And my dad had to completely reboot, just start all over. And he moved my family here to America and took a third of his life savings and invested it in Indian handicrafts. It had absolutely no plan, no background with Indian handicrafts and just decided, you know what? I'm going to sell this stuff. And so we moved here and literally he started going door to door and every single door slammed in his face. And after about a month my mom was like maybe you should go get a job. And the only job he could get paid half of what he made as a ship's captain so he was like no thanks. And he went back out there and he decided if no one's going to buy my stuff I'm going to open my own store. And so this was the business plan, this was the twist. And so being new to the country he had absolutely no credit history and even though he had a little bit of savings no one would give him the time of day. No landlord would lease him shit. So basically he ended up taking this job that paid not much at all. And in his off hours would drive around and look scout for locations to open his store. He was just dead set on doing this. And meanwhile all this inventory that he bought was lining the apartment that we lived in and like we'd put tablecloths on some of them. And those would be our tables and basically it took about a year and he finally found this restaurant space which he converted all by himself and opened up his little gift shop. And within the first month the sales were about 35,000 which almost was about what he was making as a ship surveyor and the second month the sales doubled. And then from there they fell off of a cliff and it was because it was Christmas time so people were buying these gifts. And so to make a long story short over 30 years this little gift shop turned into a chain of apparel stores for which they started opening factories to make their own merchandise. And then they started selling to Macy's and Bloomingdale's and Sacks. And then when they had all this merchandise for their whole selling business my dad started attending foreclosure auctions and all of a sudden he really got this knack for buying property on the cheap. And over 30 years this tiny little gift shop turned into a diversified investment company that made them millionaires many times over. My dad is the exact same story that you're oh wait a minute. He doesn't brag about it though. He doesn't like to talk about. He doesn't talk about it. But his mistress is the sea or some chicken shell he lives in Covina. Either way but your dad had a motor meaning he had a belief. Yeah a belief. Well here's the interesting here's the question. I don't know if guys like your dad ever know or believe it's going to work they just have to keep clawing like they just have to they want to get that they want to get that real estate they want to get that merchandise they want to do it. Because I wonder it's almost in a weird way it's like show business. I don't know what percentage of people that make their living in show business or in a band or whatever. Thought it was going to happen or just went that's all I can do or that's all I want to do and that's what thus they did it. Right so his story is not that unique there's so many different immigrants that I grew up in my own community in Houston where I grew up that have this story and they became really successful over time and frankly the frustration I felt not being able to start a business myself having all of this training. I started doing what comes easily to me I just started picking up the phone and calling other entrepreneurs that never wrote business plans that never went to business school to see you know can you connect the dots is there something similar among these people. And Adam you're a wise man because what you're talking about is this biased action and so as I started interviewing these people they had a very similar way of talking about taking risks and having this just impulsivity almost and out of sheer coincidence I was introduced to researchers of behavioral finance so it was a neuroscientist and it's like a party a nerd party a behavioral psychologist and a neuroscientist who study financial risk taking with the stock market and they turned me on to research out of Cambridge University where they basically took entrepreneurs and corporate managers with equivalent IQ and equivalent years of experience to understand what is it that makes the entrepreneur different. They gave them a battery of F MRI scans all these wires to the brain and behavioral tests and at the end of the day functional MRI yes and what they found was that if you give these two groups of people who are equally smart and equally experienced information and say hey answer these questions like a smart person they all answer the same way but when they ask them questions of upside gain and downside loss the entrepreneurs overwhelmingly took risk your bets and why. while they were anticipating taking these bets, there was a chemical release in a side of the brain called the reward pathway. This chemical release is linked to impulsivity. Another thing they found is in behavioral studies, these entrepreneur scored higher on cognitive flexibility, which in late terms is adaptability. What they found is what makes the entrepreneur's different is the ability to take risks, and that can further be broken down into impulsivity plus adaptability. Well, you know, I've always over sort of simplified, but I always say, you should bet on yourself. Like giving someone $50,000 and telling them make it into $100,000, I don't necessarily trust, but for me, I'll bet on myself. Like I spent a lot of money on this podcast, whereas a lot of folks that are doing podcasts don't spend a lot of money on their podcast, simply because I believe you have to spend it to make it, and you can stay small and save all your money, but you're gonna kinda, you know, you have to build a new building or you have to build out a new studio and you have to hire people, and it costs something, but ultimately you're betting on yourself. I've found that though it's appalling to me that our system, and especially our school system, does not focus on this at all and forget about the entrepreneurial spirit, they don't focus on how to set up a retirement plan or how to properly save your money or what you should be looking for in an investment or so on and so forth. I somebody tweeted me this the other day that the majority of schools really do nothing. It can be an elective or maybe you can take, you can take an economics class, but it should, it's funny that's part of the curriculum. Well, the one thing you're gonna need to know, I mean, there's a universal thing that we're all gonna need to know when we leave this establishment at 18, called high school. You know, history is good, you know, a little something about World War I, that'll be fine, and if you know a little something about math and English and so on and so forth, all this stuff is fine, but the one thing, which is how to generate money and because that one thing is going to cover everything else. The part about you immersing yourself in World War II history, that you can do on your own time, on your own dime, if you choose to. And if not, who gives a shit? I don't know, I have no idea what Mark Cuban knows about World War II, I don't give a shit, I suspect he doesn't give a shit and none of his stockholders or shareholders give a shit either, he's good at what he does. I think my wife is making fun of me the other day about, you know, not knowing how to spell or work the computer or something, and I just tell her, I have three guys I pay to do that. I don't need to know how to do that. - The D students run the company. - And then I said, or. - No kidding. - How good do you think Michael Jackson was at working on his car? She went, and that was that. She left the kitchen, but the point is, you don't need to move on to other kitchen. You need to know how to make money and how to save money and how to manage money, and it was a topic that was, in my family, never discussed, in the school, never discussed, of course, the friends, that was just the blind leading the blind, you know. - The question I would have is how much, and maybe Monica can answer, is how much, as well, how much can it be taught? 'Cause it sounds like there's different theories of how to make money. - Yeah, so the study that I was talking about just sort of exemplified that there is an innate aspect to it, some people are born this way, and what happens is they have fewer neuro receptors in the reward pathway of the brain. This is the part of the brain that feels pleasure, feels motivation is essential to the learning process. And what happens is these people who are born with fewer neurotransmitters inadvertently spend the bulk of their life, seeking out activities that cause the release of this chemical called dopamine. So they're thrill seekers, they're impulsive, they're gamblers, but they also make fantastic entrepreneurs, and in fact, a lot of them have ADD. Now the other thing is for the rest of us, so it's like 15% of the population's born this way. The rest of the population, the knee-jerk reaction for us is to feel this other thing called loss aversion. So when you face a moment of failure or ambiguity, the knee-jerk reaction for the rest of us is to basically remember failures from the past. That's the amygdala side of the brain. And you basically start this game of 20 questions, and you start thinking, hey, I can analyze my way through this risk. And what happens is you only more deeply root yourself in this emotion of loss aversion. And the people who came up with loss aversion, which is basically-- - They're corollas. - The corollas of Hyde Park, yes. - My fucking family does the same. That, you know, it's, like when I told them, I'm moving out of my one house, and I'm moving into another house, and I think I'm gonna rent out my old house versus sell it when the market wasn't so fantastic. And all I got was a chorus of, what if a pack of moroting bikers move in with their raccoons? And I was like, well, and they trashed a place, you know, and then they don't pay you. And I'm like, well, I will see if I can weed those people out and I'll get a nice-sized cleaning deposit that they can put down. - And they're-- - In that way we have the same parents, just have you thought of every possible bad thing to happen, which is why you should not take this action? - Yeah, or maybe I rent it out to a nice chick who pays me in advance for a year and cash, and then two years later I sell it for an extra hundred grand. Like, why are you giving me all the, and by the way, I just do the opposite of whatever you people say anyway, so this is working nicely. - Keep it up. - Yeah, if you really didn't want me to run out in the house, say, that's a capital idea, son, excelsia. And then I think about selling it. - So by design, when you start doing that, you're basically guaranteeing that your brain is pressing all the buttons that make you take no action at all. And so if you're not born this way, the key is to start activating that side of the brain that makes you impulsive, right? That reward pathway of the brain, 'cause these two sides of the brain, while they're not linked, it's almost like a traffic light. One makes you go, one makes you stop, but they can't both be on at the same time. So if your instinct is to feel loss aversion, then the way to get out of it is to focus on reward. And there are a lot of different things you can do that make you kind of shut that fearful side of the brain off and turn on the side of the brain that makes you focus on reward. It could be a passion. It could be for some people, it's money. For other people, it can just be, you know, faith. Having this like irrational acceptance that, you know, I'm gonna do this because deeply rooted in loss aversion is this irrational fear. And there's no amount of logic that helps you talk your way out of it. Well, I've always, the thing that I find interesting, then I finally get it. Like I never really sort of got business people because I thought, oh, you're just in business and you don't care if you're selling shower curtains or art, it doesn't matter. You're just a business person. Then I realized, it's not business. It's a sort of psychological chess game that you're having with society, which is, I have this product or the service or something. A, is it good, does it work? And then B, that's less than half the battle. How do I get it in front of this many eyeballs or how do I get it into this many households or this many cabinets or whatever it is. And then it becomes this sort of fun and interesting, almost psychological game of, you know, I invented Mangria, good. I can enjoy it with my friends on the weekend or I can try to sell 100,000 cases, but how do you sell 100,000 cases? Where do you go? How do you, how do you get people to participate in it? If you charge too much, you get nothing. If you charge not enough, you make nothing. You know, where's that balance? Where's that sweet spot? And no matter what the product is and then I start to realize, it's more the psychological part of it that's interesting to me and that's fascinating to me rather than whatever the product is. That becomes then the challenge. And I guess you're thinking like a manager. Oh, really? Oh, shit. I've lost my edge. Yes. You touched on it earlier, Monica, about what's, I'm curious. What separates these entrepreneurial spirit people with the FMRI light up the dopamine areas with what separates them from problem gamblers? 'Cause it sounds like there's a crossover because it sounds like the same, but I hear that described, it sounds like the same type of thing. That's a great question. Thank you. A lot of the gamblers, I didn't like it. And I can't believe I'm gonna find it. A lot of the gamblers are also the folks that have that impulsivity. They've got the fewer neuroreceptors and they're inadvertently seeking out activities that cause the release of this chemical dopamine. I've said many times I'd like to convince my kids that they're unlucky, meaning I don't gamble at all. I am a guy who lost his job four, four, so years ago and then found an automobile that was for sale for $320,000 and borrowed $100,000 from my assistant's dad to buy it. This doesn't sound like responsible. But that's gambling. That's, that's your version of gambling, you might, you may. That's gambling on me. But that you know it's smart, you know it's a smart gamble. I can control the dice. I know that get, I know this, I know yes. - You know it's a smart gamble. A smart roll of the dice. - Right, I can't when I'm sitting there and. about a car that you're sure it's going to go up in value and it did right yeah and ask that you understood it's an asset I understood and when I'm but if I'm sitting at a blackjack table and someone's flipping cards in front of me the person am I right I mean not so we'll get blackjack like somewhere around the fourth time they get it and then the person to my left gets it for the fifth time and I've gotten zero and I was there longer than them that's the point where I just fucking get up and go go cry in the in the lounge so I realize if someone's going to be flipping the cards I'm out I have no luck with that if I can control the cards and it's still a gamble but it's an asset that I understand then if I'm in charge and still there's always the unknown and there's always you know lightning coming down from the sky hitting a tree branch and crushing your car but if I can control it I mean it if I can't I'm going to lose and I want to teach my kids don't buy any lottery tickets don't think you're going to be the the blessed one don't think you're going to go down and hit that lottery or hit that hit that exacta down at the track you go make your own luck and I don't mean this doesn't mean to defend gambling here but I think the thing with blackjack people who are into it is that unlike a lottery ticket or something that feels very arbitrary the way you play the game it affects it oh sure I mean I know how to play blackjack but you still feel unlucky well you can here's the way I feel I realize that most of the things that I did not control or get involved in I got screwed by meaning I had my parents or my schools or I got you know certain things like this I had to take drivers at there were two guys who taught drivers at there was mr smith guy with the big mustache who was on the football was football coach and the coolest sort of cowboy guy around and he loved the hell out of me because I played football and then there's mr. Gregory who was the dick I got mr. Gregory he failed me I had jobs I had some of the worst jobs you've ever sort of dangerous meats should have been a lawsuit meets everything else oh there's Gary Smith the the real Gary Smith the first Gary Smith the good Gary's now you look at that guy that's the guy you want teaching your driver's ed he's all sort of football coach and he's you know Glenn Campbell's circa 1975 and that's the guy and I got mr. fucking Gregory who was an asshole and he fired me and then every job every form and I had was horrible and I just realized I didn't have any luck like I had a really shitty hand dealt to me until I started getting involved and once I started getting involved all of a sudden luck change you know and luck people can go where you have your health yes that's that's true that's look at those people I know but no it's important but what I'm saying is is when I started sort of going I'm gonna go seek out this guy and I met Jimmy Kimmel and I hung on to that guy with both hands and stuff like that and I started making my own luck then things started working nicely for me so I do look at myself is marginally unlucky and I want my kids to look at that way too because I don't want them thinking they're gonna go just clean up at the track all right the book by the way Monica's book is available on Amazon the entrepreneurial instinct and speaking entrepreneurs you want to go through Allen Pearl dot com and click on the Amazon banner and let us wet our beaks just a little bit see how that works baby all right let's do a little news Alison Rosen yes the news with Alison Rosen she reads some news from her iPad some time this goes sometimes it's bad it's Alison Alison and when it's time to wrap it up she'll sign it off with zip it cuck it's Alison oh this is good news or bad news depending but the two production companies behind the hangover part three and Jack and Jill have teamed up to bring us a movie based on medieval times the restaurant where you joust or where you watch jousting uh-huh wow I've always again see been no I've never been it's been about when I was a little kid my parents definitely the one in Vegas Excalibur which is essentially the same thing so yes it's fun for kids as I've said many times I've never eaten like a big wheel chop or anything and went where's my turn of it like I there's no almost zero turn like I've never went to a good steak house like there's nothing better than going to Laurie's and getting some prime rib and eating a nice big cut a zeppelin juicy prime rib yeah they bring a big aluminum zeppelin they cut it for you right there and then they put the mashed potatoes and the gravy and everything it's great and it doesn't get any better if I don't need to see how to work actors jousting wooden swords like this is good I don't want a distraction but on the other hand there's people that go and go hey you know I don't know that's I've also that's a time that I went separated from my dining experience you know like I understand the luau kind of thing like I'm gonna sit and they're gonna dance and that's a hot chick with a coconut bra and she's playing the ukulele but the medieval times I feel like they didn't have refrigeration figured out yeah there's a lot a lot of bad disease and teeth and you know a lot of stuff going bad and even as a whatever I was 13 to 14 year old keep in mind I could tell that's an open horse track there's a lot of horse smells going yes yeah yeah and dust being sent up into what smells horsey yeah what smells horse and I said it smells horse yeah everything is back from a stable is what you get and take yeah and it didn't feel like you're eating like you're eating in the grandstands and and also it seems like the world's biggest Benny Hanna like we have to sit with a bunch of people because it is you're sitting next to a bunch you're sitting like bleach yeah but you know where that night's gonna go right it's a theme night like uh-huh so that's not much of a night yeah I to me here's the the theme of the restaurant should be best fucking fill in the blank food we can find Japanese or steakhouse whatever your ribs whatever you're going out for let's get the best one that'll be good I'll that'll be enough for me but they're making a movie good have you guys been to the run fair um I went to the one in um tapenga once because I had to work or something or bring something there or something something like that that is very similar to medieval time I I went to that once a long time ago and I think I dipped some candles and enjoyed it do they make you do it in high school high school made us go or brush by the way that's you from ism for blue eyes on horseback I want to dip my candle that day yeah yeah yeah I got my my wig wet um no in high school they did not make us go what are they making grown-ups too for that's the part that drives me insane it's a different company yeah but maybe the same but the fucking grown-ups I'll be reviewing it later in the summer I don't know I the first one must have made money I understand that there are things that make money but that this does not make them good and doesn't mean people want to see I'm like are the producers entrepreneurs do you you have to spend all yeah they're in the same absolutely you have to come up the lot of money and you could lose a lot I'll see baby all right yes that's the question like are producers you perhaps are bringing us grown-ups too are they even trying to make a good movie or is it just something they think can make money they have a formula which is Adam Sandler plus you know Chris Rock plus David Spade plus Kevin and whatever and all those guys together and X amount into outdoor advertising X amount into TV and X amount of appearances on you know Kimmel and the tonight show and Letterman are going to get this result it's just math right it's just math and thus you've removed all the art from this from this endeavor which is fine but I always want to know like you have I understand you want to be successful but you have a legacy as well too don't do not like when Adam Sandler's gone do you want people like sitting around getting a box set of your work and have grown-ups one and two to be in that box set the thing you mentioned earlier which is the way you used to think about business which is oh you just love selling things are you business man just love you know making people or getting people to buy things I think that's a difference than entrepreneurs who either believe love their product believe in something love business versus a salesman which no I there's a guy this and get it out into the world there's a guy named Jack Jiruputo who works for Sandler and we were pitching a movie to him a sports movie and he sat in there and first off he was just giddy with the success because it was happening at that very moment a Paul Blart mall cop so he was seeing there you know going blarts really you know tearing up the box office you know and then he was explaining that he was involved with two the highest grossing the two highest grossing sports movies of all time one is the water boy and the other is the remake of the longest yard and I just sat there but I thought hey 40 something year old guy do you want this other 40 something year old guy to be wildly impressed that you worked on three piles of shit like the suck Paul Blart sucks the remake of that sucks the water boy sucked you're not talking to a nine year old it's not bring your semi retarded kid to work day you're seeing your guy writes movies and does comedy so I of course would not be impressed by your pile of shit would I why are you bragging to me and I guess you're bragging that you made a bunch of money but let's not separate it from being the piece of shit that it is and was. So what about kids programming the wing walls and all of that. Listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, I had I read a book with my son last night. Thank you. Hey I listen Obama takes a hero to raise your children. No son he read it out. They did. Okay. Hey it's a quality time. He helped me with the big words. Did you know there was a G and strength? Anyway so he read this and when I was done I announced listen if you would like to write but you have no talent for writing whatsoever you can always write children's books. Kiddies if you ever decide that you have any unyielding desire to write something but yet you possess not an ounce of creativity well then just go ahead and write for kids and I mean I was at my daughter got a cornea scratched and I was at the whatever hospital urgent care on Friday night with her and they offered her like a little trinket when she was leaving and they had a door the explorer like a little flashlight like a potion and door the explorer comes up on the wall and then Diego comes up and I'm going to put it back. I don't want her fucking head polluted with that garbage. Door the explorer is such a just vacuum of zero bullshit. It's such a fucking creative cop out and what I want to say to all these people is this. Do not hide behind the shield of it's for the kids. You can create creative things for the kids. Kids inherently know when things are good and funny just like you responded as a kid to the stuff that was better than the junk and there's plenty of programming that's on there that is clever and it is interesting and that you can actually watch with your kids SpongeBob is funny for adults. It's funny for kids. That's correct. It's clever. I don't watch it but I hear it's good. The point is this then there's door the explorer that is a fucking vacuum and all it there's only only things in it is shit. It's a shit vacuum. It's a Hoover of shit and the people that create that and Caiu and all the rest of that. Yes. Are fucking bang for packs and I know every single one of you. Hey everyone of you show me that fucking spec script you wrote for Seinfeld or friends that was passed on in the 90s. Show me. I know there's tons of examples of you guys trying to cut it in the adult world. You're fucking hacks. You can't create. So you ended up over here. Now you're heroes because you create for kids and you're fucking zeros and I know it and if you could create for adults you would but you can. This is the scene of the movie or the guy behind the desk has the mad about you script he's pushing it. You know what holds the test of time old Muppet show. Yes. The late 70s early days of Muppet show. Muppets that smoke Muppets in a bar and bra with Cindy Duncan. There should be there should be a class action lawsuit against Dorothy Explorer. That's all saying that you you're you are robbing children of their valuable youth. They could be learning something instead they're having their brains fucking polluted with fucking Diego and swiper the fucking fox and the monkey. Don't forget that flashlight sounds cool. Oh, that's the news. I'm Allison Rosen's if it comes. That was the news with Allison Rosen. Great moment with me and the fat nurse for us like that's junk. Don't take it and you guys shouldn't be giving that stuff out. You're making kids and idiots. It's why they're getting injured. It's just it's fucking horrible and it's all this everything's bilingual too. It's just it's such a fucking cop out. It's such a piece of shit. I challenge when you ask wipes. Please when you ask wipes it works on that show. Please try to write something. Write a fucking greeting card that's remotely entertaining.
