From Corolla One Studios in Glendale, California, this is The Adam Corolla Show. Today, we got the news with Adam Yenzer. And now, Adam Corolla. Get it on. Adam Yenzer back in studio. Very funny stand-up comedian. Got a couple dry bar specials, right? Just one. Oh, just one. Well, maybe I watched it twice. Yeah, thanks.
Very funny. Thank you.
Great joke writer. Used to... I don't know. Do you own an Emmy for writing for Ellen? I have 11 of them. 11 Emmys. So whenever we'd win for writing, I'd get one. And then they also just kind of credited everyone as a producer on that show.
So whenever the talk show won, we'd get another one. 11 Emmys. But they're daytime Emmys. It's like our competition was like the ladies of The View.
So, whoa. Local Emmy, I think the pecking order is local Emmy, daytime Emmy, Emmy, Emmy. Exactly, yeah. All right.
I should see if I can trade in the 11 for one primetime Emmy, if you can kind of upgrade them eventually.
You know, I'm trying to think because there's a pecking order for everything. Like in the automotive world, winning at Le Mans is a big deal. But then the 24 Hours of Daytona is pretty good, but it's not as good as Le Mans. And then there's the 12 Hours of Sebring, which is good, but it's not as good. It really is the local Emmy, the daytime Emmy, and the Emmy Emmy award. which is Le Mans. And then the question is, yeah, how many Daytona wins would be worth a Le Mans win? Exactly. And the sad kind of answer is no amount of Timexes is worth a Rolex.
Yes, yeah.
And no amount of Ford Explorers is worth a Lamborghini. Yeah. Like there's a weird thing that never works. You go, well, what if you had 100 Ford Explorers? It's still not good enough. You still want the Lamborghini. Yeah. So anyway, you got the Ford Explorer and God bless you. Exactly. Yep. I'll make do with it. So, oh, and Ellen's moved back. Oh, yeah. So I said, when she said she was moving there because Trump won, everybody was like, oh, did you hear?
I go, she'll be back. There's no way. And I heard, I don't think Rosie O'Donnell moved back, but she like came back to visit for an extended period. They're going to come back eventually. I don't think any of them are going to make it in England forever.
Yeah.
Well, as I tell people all the time, My grandfather, who was not my biological grandfather, but his name was Laszlo Gorog, who's a Hungarian. That's a great name. It's a good name. And Gorog is spelled the same forward and backwards.
Oh, wow.
I got that going for you. Yeah. So he left Hungary, I would guess, in probably like 1940, maybe 1939. So, you know, they were rounding up Jews, and he was Jewish. And he got which way the wind was blowing up. In Hungary, his sister ended up getting rounded up and his nephew and many, many members of his community and family end up getting hauled off to concentration camps by Hitler. But Laszlo had a feeling early. And it wasn't... the bullshit virtue signal feeling. Like, I'll go to Ireland and enjoy myself in an Airbnb for six months and then I'll come back, but I'll claim there's a target on my back or some fear. You know, it's right up there with ISIS kicking in doors and deporting people who look different than them and all that stuff.
