Part of it, part of getting...

in life is being in proximity.

You guys have the ability to be around some amazing people.

So hopefully that rubs off and gives you even bigger possibilities.

Adam Carolla, thank you so much for coming on the Ice Coffee Hour.

My pleasure.

So I want to get your take on this.

Ray Dalio just warned that the U.S.

is entering years of turbulence driven by large deficits, widening wealth gaps, political divisions, and AI disruption.

You're known for being the practical guy.

What does this mean for the average person?

Now, you mentioned California.

Has that become unlivable for the average person?

Reminded me, my grandparents, my grandpa was in the army and then he sold appliances and he bought his house in 1952 in Culver City for $35,000.

It's probably worth $1,350 to $1,400.

Oh, yeah.

And that was the nicest house back then.

It was a trapped house.

I mean, he picked from one of five floor plans in this little area in Culver City, and he got one of those houses, and that's it.

And at the time, I think it was 1,100 square feet, and they enclosed a patio space as part of the living area.
