Come up first, we have Adam Carolla Show 827, featuring Arsenio Hall, Dave Damaschek, Alison Rosen, and Brian Bishop from 2012.
Welcome to the show, everybody. Good day, Alison Rosen. Hello, Adam Carolla. Good day, Paul Bryan. Diamond earrings?
That's right. Diamond earrings!
That was Dave when Oprah was having her players ball and she'd be giving away shit to everybody and they're all just going nuts and running around. And all the people she was giving away shit to were already rich. So it made it that much worse. I'm holding this pen in front of me. There's a couple of things I want to get into.
Arsenio is going to call in and a couple of few will talk about Celebrity Apprentice coming up. Ooh, lots to talk about. Wait a minute. When's the show airing?
Tomorrow. Tomorrow.
Oh, okay, good. Good, I got that one figured out. I got this pen. I just grabbed it from Matt, the porcelain punisher, Fondoliers. Now? Yeah. You know where it's going to end up. I'm just saying. It's probably already been in the bathroom. It's weird. Now, everything's dry. But it's been chewed on.

Chapter 2: How does the introduction of Arsenio Hall impact the show?
It almost doesn't matter. No, it's not just so people can visualize it. This is not just a pen that has bite marks on it. The little clippy thing is at a complete 90 degree angle to the pen. It's like a pen with an erection.
It's disfigured because it's spooned out as well.
Yeah, it's like a pen with a Coke spoon attached.
This is a disaster right here. And I thought, are people still doing this in this day and age? Only one man.
What?
And it's weird, and I'd like to blame them, but it's their pen. But still, can I blame them?
This is the thing you're not going to judge? Come on, Adam. No, I judge.
I'll bet you paid for that pen.
Believe you me, I judge. I cannot stop judging. I'm judging you asking me about not judging right now.

Chapter 3: What insights are shared about the Celebrity Apprentice?
Getting the crowd whipped up in a frown.
Cracked me up because he was like, come on, you got to plug the Vegas show. You got to plug the Vegas show. And I forgot to say anything about the Vegas show. And he's like, hey, how about that Vegas show? It's a great show. A lot of fun.
What was his position? He was our show? He was our producer. De facto producer.
Yes, for the first year. Ask the porcelain punisher if he also punishes pens as well. That's number one.
I think we know the answer. Well...
I'd like to give them the benefit of the ā actually, I wouldn't.
All right.
Now, also, my USC lecture available in our store, and it's for free. It's all for free. It's over an hour, and it's me talking to the Marshall School business. I think you guys would probably enjoy that. We miked it up and made a little extra bit for you guys, a little bonus bit. So we have that at our store if you'd like to listen to it again for free.
Matt, did you desecrate this pen with your mouth? Yeah, I'm actually surprised that it ever left my office. Yeah. Yeah. What's up? It just pulled me out of my office. I'm completely caught off guard by this. I don't know. Just bored. Play with the pen for a bit.

Chapter 4: How has the popularity of sports changed over the years?
Nobody, if I would have told you, yes, pro basketball and pro football will be far more popular than either of those. People would have scoffed at that. Of course, these things, you know, 30 years ago, if you were 225 pounds, you would probably decide to go the way of the pugilist. Maybe not 25, maybe 40 years ago.
But, you know, now all those guys go play football or play basketball instead of getting hit in the head. But, I mean, do you think football's doomed? Do you think it's going to become more of a fringy sport? Or is it as simple as taking off our beloved face masks or doing something like that?
Because I buy the notion that you feel more secure hurtling your body into someone else if you feel fully protected.
Right.
Well, there's been people have talked about it. I can't remember if it was Jim Lampley. Oh, no. It's our favorite. It's Brian. Jim Hill? No, not Jim Hill.
He has a concussion. You know that is true, my friend.
It's who?

Chapter 5: What are the implications of safety in football?
Brian Gumbel. Brian Gumbel. Yeah, Brian Gumbel does always talk about that. All I know is this. I spend a lot of time in automobiles with Mike August. Okay. I'm sorry. And Mike August. You could have just stopped it. I spend a lot of time with Mike August. A lot of time. I mean, we drive to Sacramento and Irvine and back. And sometimes it's just us alone all through the night.
And he, his dad is a football coach. And he's gone through his travel. And his dad's been everywhere. And his dad's coached a bunch of teams. And, you know, and it's funny because Mike, just because his dad is a football coach, You know, he'll just sit around and say stuff like, you know, the ACC, you know, they can beat the WAC, but they're not going to beat the Big Ten. And it's like, okay.
Chapter 6: How does personal experience shape opinions on youth sports?
Like, I don't know what to say. He knows what college team is in WAC and which one's in the Big 12 and which one's in the Big Ten. He knows everything about everything. He played football. His dad played football. His dad coached. That's all he did. And he says to me every time this story comes up,
He says, you know, back in the day when they had the old metal face masks and they were soft, they'd bend in. And if a guy put his helmet into another guy, that'd just crush and smash his face. If they went back to those old face masks... And I'm always thinking, what the fuck is he talking about? I don't know what he's talking about.
Now, the new face masks are so hard and you could just plow it in there. But the old ones, you'd bend up and it'd break your nose. And I'm thinking... All right, first off, I played 11 years of football. No one ever bent their face mask. It never happened.
There was a movie called The North Dallas 40 where Dilbert or whatever played with a bad hamstring and he caught a screen and he started clutching his hamstring and he got his face smashed and it bent his face mask in and they were like, oh man, look what happened to him. But we used to watch... Earl Campbell and Jack Tatum and some crazy ass hitting going on back in the day.
Nobody's face mask got bent into their face. So I never know what the fuck to tell Mike August when he's talking about. And the old ones were thick metal and they were heavy.
Is he making an argument for therefore they were better, though, or worse? He says ā Mike August is ā a lot of his arguments, if not all of them, are predicated on Carolla's old thing about the guy who says like, oh, yeah, I'm really good at hockey in LA because no one can ever disprove him.
August Gambles, whoever he's arguing with, won't immediately be able to access the information that will immediately disprove his case. One time I called him on the meaning of a word. It didn't go well. Well, absolutely not. But he does a lot of that. Absolutely not. He does a lot of that kind of you're you're you're big guy.
I think you know, you follow the Steelers a little bit coming up. Right.
I'm aware of them. Yeah, they're pretty good.

Chapter 7: What happens when discussing Frank Sinatra's legacy?
And I was like, yeah, I mean, of course. How are you going to talk to him? He's suing you. Why didn't you just tell him you're suing him? And I was going, I was yelling at the TV set. And he's like, which one is that? And I was like, oh, come on, Leif. Come on. The guy did a whole thing. And of course. And he was like, yeah, I don't know.
I was like, I was, I seemed like a retard because I was way too animated about it. And he was just high and didn't seem to give a shit.
Yes. I worked on all those behind the musics, a lot of them. And, uh, The thing that I loved about Leif Garrett and David Cassidy, they both said, I think at some point, the record company wanted me to be a teen idol. But I wanted to make I had these music songs like Hendrix. Right.
And it's always like that question of like, OK, in the preceding 40 years, why those all those great foxy lady level songs that you had? Why didn't you get those out to the public that, you know, why didn't you serve them up, you know, your houses of the holy later? Yes. And they never quite got to that.
Yes. I have the same question for Vanilla Ice. Like when they go like, oh no, that wasn't, that was the Vanilla Ice that was created by the label. This is the real Vanilla Ice. The one that looks like Fred Durst, like magically, like who's got the tattoos. The one who looks like the, whatever the version of 1989 was now.
Well, they told him to do three little lines in his eyebrow, but he does four.
The real Rob Van Winkle does four. I love it when people magically look like whatever's going on at whatever period they're in, but they have the fucking balls to go, this is the real me. Oh, so the one with the sleeve tattoos and the... I see. By the way, he looks exactly how he was supposed to look circa 1988 and circa 2008, right? Exactly.
He's like a tough version of David Silver from 90210.

Chapter 8: How does Pia Zadora reflect on her career?
Right, right.
But this is the real him. Except for Fred Durst. He's in the new Adam Sandler movie, which is the only thing that could make the new Adam Sandler more appealing to me, would be to see Vanilla Ice act.
This is going to be awesome. All right. Father's Day. Ooh. This is going to be a good day for you, David Weil. Father's Day. Oh, yeah. It's huge around the Corolla house. Always has been. Always a tradition.
Oh, great.

Yeah, hello?
Yeah, Dad. Dad. 100% cast iron, 100% made in America.
