9:02 pm
wine at about that much left in the bottom of the bottle by the way the red wine by . models light doesn't pass through wrong and they're heavy and so you never know and your little buzz when you put a y.c. don't know what you have you don't know how much you have wrecked so you've all experienced the heartbreak of what the hell there's a hummingbird speak were. left in this thing but it weighs eighty pounds to hell so i said i don't have any more red wine so what am i going to do i mean i'm not alcoholic i can what did you do i poured. in with the red wine and i said this tastes like ass so i then poured some orange juice in and i put some other flavorings and i put some ice in and then i said eureka i think i've invented something called man grae and then do we get man even go to corolla drinks dot com or make great dot com or it's coming to a liquor store near you we've sold over one hundred fifty thousand bottles already so i love it i just made it as a joke i would bring pictures of it over to kimmel's place on fourth of july and
9:03 pm
all that have brought them angry you know and then somebody at a napa said i could make it this and i said here's a recipe that my name on there and it's really your podcast holds the record for the most download podcasts of all time i'm a veteran of the few radio shows of my life what makes a successful podcast i don't think it's anything it's any different than what you do or trust your radio or any form or or good hotdog stand it just be consistent be open deliver and they will come find you you know there's not much trick in broadcasting either have them have a voice that people want to hear deliver it consistently i do mine five days a week and i put it out there you know it's it's you know weird way it's sort of like saying what makes a good comedian or what makes a good anything it's be good at it and then go do it and do it consistently someone
9:04 pm
wants to have these authors out free but the only secret in the business is there's no secret right. people always act like there's some magic stone you rub in the order to get a good you know there's two hundred fifty thousand pod cast on i tunes alone my podcast is somewhere around the top and it's mainly because it's done in repetition and it's mainly because a quality. staff. gave bathhouse. i mean physically and then later the chemistry. dr drew was good they were going to syndicate loveline and they were going to make love line the t.v. show loveline the radio show was going to become loveline the t.v. show on m.t.v. and they wanted some humor and dr drew used to listen to me on the local morning show k.-rock out here back when i was on the chimney kimmel and kevin and being can imagine jimmy kimmel back then and he thought i was funny and they said to him
9:05 pm
do who do you think funny who do you want to work with him because the guy just works with anesthesiologists. who who don't have a rich history and comedy he just said how about that guy adam carolla he seems funny and next you know i'm on the show now you used you would get a movie closer rode hard to understand you used to crowdfunding side to raise money for its. work well it's not quite begging it's sit well there's panhandlers and then there's a guy who will wash your windshield with the sports page for a buck this is more that he's doing they're both annoying. if you want them both to go away but at least the one guy is doing some modest went yeah so what you say is you want to make a movie called behind the suspenders. write that down larry and the
9:06 pm
suspenders behind the incident was save this to and then you say to your dear massive audience here i want to make this movie behind the suspenders and i believe it's going to take me it's going to cost me about a million dollars to make this movie behind this is spenders and what you can do is if you want to donate ten dollars you'll get a script from behind the suspenders and if you want to do twenty five dollars you'll get a script and the first blue ray that comes out of behind the suspenders but if you want to go to the big star studded party at the premiere that's one hundred fifty dollars and then people said send it in and we are goal was one million dollars and we got about one point five million to do this on your podcast yes you don't go to those sites for this called ask for money site well there is yeah there is a ask for money site it's sounds like from what it's called a clean windshield stock. there's there's
9:07 pm
a few there's kickstarter there's fund anything that's what i went with the flak over that is so the leg as you kid around begging yeah. losses of the bone they will send and sure to you from taking the millions more what prevents me from just taking a super eight film of my kids and then pocketing the rest of the money or having it more likely go up my nose i. it's a trust issue through i mean you can screw anybody you want you've done me one but you have what i have with my audience what you have with your audience is a trust it's an allegiance you. start shooting in december and probably the middle of next year. you're a contributor to the o'reilly factor out of bed come about. i went on some sort of rant on my podcast about occupy wall street. i just sort of sit around and
9:08 pm
wait things get brought up in the news and then i just sort of riff on them and then people grab those riffs sometimes and say wow i think glenn beck grabbed it and maybe it got a million hits on you tube or something and for me it's not my riff on occupy wall street it's not planned it's just i just sort of freestyle everything yeah if someone throws out a new story here is my opinion that they're on another news story here's another piniella i guess a riley picked it up and he said you want to come in and just do a sort of weekly whatever and i said yeah sure how would you describe your politician to say he's not a conservative which i find unbelievable how would you describe yours as well my politics i come from a very liberal family and i always consider myself very liberal and terms of. consentual crimes you know prostitution drug use social socially. and i
9:09 pm
always and then when it came to other issues that were political i didn't i never found myself to be conservative but i feel like i've been made into a conservative well because i'd say things like look. let's focus on education and let's focus on the family staying intact and you want to see these kids go to college best way to do it is to have an intact family and parents who give a shit about education schools they're there they could do a better job but they're probably not going to do a better job you know i went to north hollywood high so to my wife. probably probably comes home from queen was she who was wow the she's older how old are you i'm forty nine she's fifty three oh we just went to whole reunion in north hollywood so i went to north hollywood high and i graduate in eighty two and i tell everyone all the time i had hispanic kids from the valley i had the black kids that
9:10 pm
were bussed in from south central i had the white kids that were sort of the white trash there were some age and kids in there and then there were some jewish kids in there and you know i played on the football team with a lot of the black kids but stan and some of the white guys from the valley and the point is when it came time to graduate the jewish kids went off to stanford and cal and u.c.l.a. and the asian kids and the lot of the eastern indian kids went off to cal stanford u.c.l.a. the black kids went back to south central the mexican kids and the white kids from the valley we all just got to the same construction site and start picking up garbage and the point is same school different families. see everyone wants to talk about why conservative that's what. or it's my camera and that's what i'm saying is that that servant of no i'm not i got turned into
9:11 pm
a conservative by saying hey fix your kid his own or her own breakfast you make breakfast for your kid let your kid let your kid know that you care enough to make your child a breakfast and by the way it's not about money eighteen cents worth oatmeal and some walnuts you can make that became conservative larry you have a quick. quick to pin you know on syria. i just i don't you know i've been hearing the headline trouble in the middle east since i was born first person i mentioned there was christ yeah it's trouble in the middle east i mean there's a part of me that says a lot i'm just all kill themselves and we'll see what happens there's a part of me that there's a lobs some cruise missiles in there i i honestly don't know could use it but as with we don't we don't have to make a decision you sympathize with the president but this ain't easy pickens know he's going to get it no matter what and also you know it's not
9:12 pm
a good way to wage war or even half a war when you say don't worry they'll be no boots on the ground and we'll be out in six weeks and when you're centrally telling the enemy here's what we'll do here's what we won't do it would have worked well for world war two here's the day we're going to invade and this is a normandy you know this is it you don't know who the enemy is you know here's the point we we thought look when we had a cowboy in office you know when when we have bush in office the no wonder everyone hates us we got this cowboy when we get this guy in office that looks a little more like them and sounds a little more like them they're going to brace us they hate us they hated us then they hate us now they'll hate us tomorrow they hate us because we have more stuff. in them they hate us because of envy mainly and they want to take us down because of that envies are very powerful but even then so what would you do. you do not love in the few be i'd probably take a few tomahawks and hit
9:13 pm
a few bunkers. just to say it is time clinton told me once it's in he said i don't live in one world piece of cake compared to this george clinton but oh different clinton was thinking which i've never got from the funkadelic. bill clinton really billy. i wish i wish i could say clinton told me once. i wasn't throwing and i just thought oh i want to update that he had an agreement to make it make topped out at the last minute and it's insoluble now my story is going to be larry king told me once that clinton told him while staying at a real down well riley that you know well below is coming up we're tackling three c's comedy carpentry and cars adam has his hands in all three don't go. well. it's technology innovation all the developments from

9:18 pm
a home improvement question larry. you have twins right yes and so i'd like well i always say it this way boy or girl or seven years old the girl is like raising three kids and boys like raising one old cat. so it evens out sums it up is that ok what about the car collection have a better time about. well when you're broke could until it's no i love cars i was always a gearhead but i always had to drive a pickup truck because that was my business and soon as i started making some money in show business i started collecting cars and then i got into vintage racing meaning racing the old cars and then i got hold of some a paul newman's cars his race cars and i just raced one of his race cars at laguna seca couple weeks ago so it's his car that he raced in one thousand nine hundred
9:19 pm
eighty the jay leno kind of thing to jay leno and i are very different i mean he's a friend of mine and i love his collection but he won't buy anything that he can't drive on the street and i basically don't buy anything i can't drive on the track so most of my cars are race cars and jail does his to work jay will drive his to work and i always laugh that some kid is going to write a book report about jay leno twenty five years from now and in it it's going to say he died in two thousand and forty two in a steam car and the teacher is going to go are you nuts when you mean a steam car people drive around in hovercraft. yes he takes those things if you go to a shop he's underneath those things working on it all day every day it will be good no children no children is a wonderful marriage and did the money goes in the bank what does he do with it no
9:20 pm
i know but why i tell you that his shop is you know five miles from here and if you go over there during the ride hours on a saturday he's not sitting there eating he's underneath that steam car working on it and plumes of smoke and fire like shooting out of the would you describe you adam what would you. you so diverse you funny and you do so many things who is a call to make the podcast or i or printer if i were a cop until you were a lady. i doubt i'm a guy's trying to make up for lost time i spent my youth. being warehoused essentially at home and at school then i spent the early part of my dole the hood literally digging ditches on construction sides hauling dry wall around picking up garbage just literally doing nothing and nalle thanks to jimmy kimmel
9:21 pm
i realized i can do more and so i'm now making up for lost time so i want to go vintage racing i want to make a documentary about paul newman the racecar driver i want to make another independent film i want to write another book i want to do another pod cast i want to try to squeeze as much into this because i feel like it's like a guy that was incarcerated falsely i feel like i spent my first thirty years in the joint for a crime i didn't commit and now i got to make up for it is there a danger in being too diverse yes mel torme is a great singer but he's also a drummer he's also a piano player also a ranger and so we couldn't what was he you know you don't get paid as well correct you were much better off just being you know michael jackson's a multi money you know you the jack of all trades it works that way in my old profession if he said look i do foundation i do dry wall i do framing i do finish
9:22 pm
you know that means you don't get paid for anything better off just install aquariums tell me about the book president me this is a serial rance of you a president you would yes i got it right there did you you're one for seventeen. what's the first thing you do if you were present first thing while you scare me. i would. focus on kids who are kids and people who had no business having kids not having kids that's what i believe would fix everything i believe we're reverse engineering everything we're saying here's a public service announcement on how to take care of your kids how to feed your kids how to do this how to do that what happens after a bunch of people who really shouldn't have kids have kids don't take care of those kids then it's more prisons it's more overcrowding at schools it's more drugs it's more gangs it's more everything the first thing i would do is focus on people who
9:23 pm
couldn't afford to have kids not as a part not a pejorative way but say look you want to get ahead in life don't crank out three kids when you're nineteen and have a ged you're not going to get ahead in life support the family off focus on climbing the corporate ladder little then have the kids then that'll be a road to success is what some social media questions for madame co for adam carolla village and make via instagram what's the best call you have a took on loveline. well there was a guy who won to a morgue and stole the head off an old corpse so that he could have a scroll in his aquarium that it kept the snake in. and what was his question. true as that a lot i mean the call been for yeah i think he wanted more reassurance that it was
9:24 pm
the right thing to do and. chris crandall via facebook says you're the best at live and probably curious to know if you were that good during your improv training days or if you got good in the years to come i know you aren't accepted to the final level the groundlings that reminds me of michael jordan making his high school basketball team thank you it's just i was good at it improv but there was no it had no currency back in the day there was nothing you could everything was scripted everything was you know if you're either on a sitcom you're the wrote for sitcom you acted in a sitcom or drama or what have you there was no hey i'm going to make stuff up as we go along which now we sort of have with a lot of reality shows and a pod cast and different forms of the media so it was like what i had was like gasoline refinery fifty years before the automobile came out. so every one of
9:25 pm
those wasn't a great rock band and i go no no one cared no one wanted you know. what's it like to be the voice of death you sporadically appears death on family guy. loves the macfarlane i love the show and my favorite is ted one of the great movies of the made while you're writing the demo do you do like to know i liked it i saw the friends i saw the screening before it was even the thing was even animated and stuff seth and i go way back flatter that he asked me to be part of the show and it's easy to sit in there your read the lines they're always funny and you change and. one of the first ones i did is death was i got called in for near death experience which always pissed off dad he had to go on a near death experience call but he hated it because there was no you know no payday and. as certain point death went home and his mom that's mom was chewing
9:26 pm
him out and yelling at him and telling him that you know polish pants up as it is that it at a certain point i said to peter griffin when my mom was yelling at me i said. i wish dad was still dad. and he let me improv that we could show a little game called if you only knew you move the first person you have a just yes it's always your name her name was astir and i know it sounds like a built a time machine a kid someone after one world war one how will you. i was thirty one she was twelve let's not talk anymore about that i was your arrest i was eyes she was my first girlfriend i was in the seventh grade and she told me she called me and said it was between to be a boyfriend it was between me and my buddy chris and she said i chose you and. and
9:27 pm
she paused and she said everyone thinks i'm crazy but i chose you and i thought i think that feels good where is a studio find yeah she's still here i think she works in the business and she's beautiful they were comedian who i'd say george carlin just because i grew up loving newman well moment you knew you'd made it. i was. backstage at some k.-rock event and i was in show business for ten seconds and i henry winkler who i just knew was the fonz as i was passing by heard him saying where is that guy who plays mr bircham on the radio and i just said oh that's me and i stop and i said i'm that guy and he shook my hands with two hands because he's such a man she now and he said nobody does what you do nobody can do what you do and i was like this is the fines telling me no one can do what i do and that's that sort of builds and you want a little bit sky nice this guy on the planet him and the great john ritter. thank
