Chapter 1: What is discussed at the start of this section?
Welcome to Corolla Classics. I'm your host, superfan Giovanni. This is the podcast where we play the best moments, highlights, and fan-selected clips from all 16 years of The Adam Corolla Show. This upcoming Sunday will be the 17th anniversary of the first recording of The Adam Corolla Show.
When they switched over from the radio show to the podcast, they had less than a weekend to get everything ready to go. Everything launched. Myself and Mike Chaffee did a bunch of stuff behind the scenes. Donnie was able to turn on the mics. Kind of. And Adam recorded that very uncertain, short, strangely formatted introduction to the ACS that everyone heard.
With over 5 million downloads and excitement at the highest it was ever for the podcast. It's a really interesting time to reflect back on all 17 years of the show.
Now with over 4,000 episodes, with multiple different eras of the show, the original run with just Adam, with Teresa and Brian coming weekly for the day-and-date news format, then switching back over to the radio show format, then Teresa left, then there was the Allison era, then Gina joined the show after Allison left, then it was the Gina era of the show with Brian, and then the whole COVID era of the show doing it remotely, and then Gina and Brian came back to the studio,
And now the latest era without any co-hosts. No news girl, no sound guy. Sometimes mayhem. We do have a separate podcast feed titled Cruel Classics. You can find it through podcast1.plus. If you sign up over there, podcast1.plus, you'll find the ad-free archives exclusively available for all of Cruel Classics.

Chapter 2: How did The Adam Carolla Show transition to podcasting?
Coming up first, we have Adam Carolla Show 2454, featuring the great Ben Bailey of Cash Cab and probably numerous other things. R.J. Bell, not in this portion. Gina Gratt and Brian Bishop from 2018. Hope you guys enjoy.
Thanks for sharing. We love that about you. Right, Gina Graham? That's right. Handball Brian. Fucking loser.
Wow.
Wow.
Coming in hot right off the top. That was cruising for a bruising. Geez.
All right. Let's see. We're excited to play Cash Cab.
Yeah.
So, yeah, we're playing that today and we're all going to team up and play together. We're going to join forces. I feel Brian's got a very good background for this. Gina and I bring something to the table as well. I feel very confident for the cab ride and our chances.
It's general trivia. And when you play along at home, it's much easier. But when we're in that cab, things are going to heat up. As one who's been on, and one, a game show or two, it helps to know the format. Strategically, you'll do better at a game show, you'll feel a fortune, jeopardy, whatever, if you understand the format really well. Gina and I have watched many episodes of Cash Cab.

Chapter 3: What are the different eras of The Adam Carolla Show?
Both together and alone. And so we're familiar with the format.
Well, it's hard to turn it on and switch, and part of it is there's nothing better than a good format. But it's trivia. When they do trivia, we as human beings are drawn into it, and it's a simple answer. In one of those shows that... I'll watch car shows and I'll go, the Dodge Coronet was invented in 1967, 1968 or 1969. We'll be right back with that answer.
And I don't even care about a Dodge Coronet. I'll go, it's 68. I know it, my soul, it's 68. And then I'll just sit there and have to wait. Right. So that's how we're wired.
I hope, yeah. I just hope we win the money before we get to Central Park. We got a lot of bases covered amongst our ā pun intended ā bases of knowledge. You know what I mean? Yes. We got a lot of ā from pop culture to sports to ā Menstrual cycles. Everything.
That's right.
All that. Adam knows a lot about that.
Right. Yep. All right. So I had a thought. Let's see. I went to Kimmel's birthday party last night. That was fun. I had a thought. about I'm always trying to kind of figure out the sort of general everything in life. And I was watching SportsCenter when I got home last night, and they were showing, oh, they've moved the Rams game from Mexico City to the Coliseum because the turf is bad.
And I guess they had a couple of soccer games and a Shakira concert or something and whatever. Maybe ā They got a little over their donkeys over there. I was going to say skis, but I don't want skis in Mexico. So they got a little over their burros over there, and the sod's all screwed up, and they're trying to scrape it up.
And then I guess it becomes this sort of thing where it's like when a paint job gets screwed up, and you go, we got to fix it, but it's not really dry, but you try sanding it, and now it gets gooed up, and now it's actually worse. And I think that's kind of what happens with these fields. But either way, they're moving it. And it's also a weird world where they go, hey, safety of the players.

Chapter 4: What are the surprising facts about male seahorses and their reproduction?
It is so... Disturbing. Yes. It just shoots out of them. There's dozens of them.
I didn't want to broach this with you, Gina. Gaffigan had a bit about the seahorse, how the male has the babies. He's just like, why don't they call that one the female? That's kind of my take. That's a pretty good point, Jim. But I do want to say, like, this is how dudes do it. Like, if men got pregnant, we'd have it down to about three months.
You have gestation?
Yeah. This fucking over a year bullshit would go quick. Like, we'd be like, let's move it. And it'd be like a lot of weird peer pressure. Bert, how's it? You're still pregnant?
It's been four months.

Chapter 5: How do societal expectations shape our views on gender roles?
I don't know.
Hold on. What game are we in? We're in game 11 of the year. You're fucking pregnant in the preseason.
I don't even care.
Let's go, dude. Let's move. There'd be so much pressure. No, you have a point. The whole gestation thing. By this time in history. Well, Marley's having a shower next week and she really wanted to wait. No, no, let's do this. Yeah, I feel like we'd be done.
All the women I know that have been pregnant for nine months, they're loving it every day.
So you're on to something. Well, they love the attention.
Yeah, maybe so.
Touching them with bellies all the time.

Chapter 6: What insights do the hosts share about entrepreneurship and success?
Oh, they love that? So a lot of stuff, the fires are still raging here in California, but now there's a new problem. And Pink's husband, Carey Hart, is trying to get in on this and do some street justice here. So he's attempting to take back his neighborhood after people have apparently started looting evacuated houses from all the California wildfires. This is becoming a big problem.
The former pro motorcycle racer issued a warning Tuesday on Instagram, cautioning looters to think twice before coming to Malibu. The caption was paired with an undated photo of masked gunmen behind a sign that says looters will be shot on sight.
Well, if you round them up and put them in a mass grave, I think you're judged differently than being in your living room in terms of shooting looters. Sure. So I think one of those things that's sort of like I could buy and sell you looters will be shot. You don't. We had me at Looters Will Be Shot. In their own home? Yeah. Not in their own condo. On site?
Yeah, not with their own stereo equipment. Take them to a remote location? No, you take them out to the Nevada desert, and the authorities, they frown upon that. Yeah. So, number one. Number two, I like where his head's at. It's also... The part where after Hurricane Katrina, a lot of fake charities were set up to try to get money from people online. Like, are you the worst people? Yep.
That's my thing where I go confront the parents and go, what happened? What happened? Like, when they do that or I'm going to go loot this place or like... What happened?
Why do you see this as an opportunity?
Yes. Looters will be shot at a location of our choosing.
Oh, that's even better. It's more menacing.
Sorry, I was trying to rewrite that.

Chapter 7: What confrontational scenario is described in the opening remarks?
Back off. And then the other guy would go, hey, dude, didn't whatever Adam told you to do. And he'd go like, get out of my face, dude. And then they'd have a fucking shouting match on the lawn. It's like, I just fucking told you. I told you this 18 seconds ago. You cannot prevent this. You can't. And now I'm starting to really think that's it. I think that's just where we're at.
I don't think there's a mount. I don't think there's coaching up, whether it's my buddies from high school or my nephew. I don't think there's a sit down and discuss. I've had a million sit down discussions with a million people. They rarely goes the direction I want it to go.
Chapter 8: What insights are shared about giving and receiving advice?
This is Catholic little brother. This is buddies out of high school. This is... potential employees. It rarely goes that direction. Well, back to my original point. Yes, you can't give someone the entrepreneurial spirit.
The best you can do is give them that information. What they do with it is up to them.
They could just throw it, you know, go piss in the courtyard. That's what they do.
No, I'm now... Thank you. Now I'll start my own business. I now know something. Here's what I now know. There's a catch-22. Here's the Catch-22. First, I'll tell you about Bespoke Post. Oh, here's somebody with the entrepreneurial spirit. Listen, everyone gets everyone gifts this year during the holidays. How about you get yourself something good?
Why buy that ugly sweater for your uncle when you can buy some awesome for yourself? Get yourself bespoke posts. Have a box awesome sent to your door every month. So many good items. Such high quality. Surprise every time. I mean, if you like to have a drink, they've got great stuff for making drinks. They've got great stuff for... And where's my knife? I love my knife that I got.
Yeah, anyone wants to mess with me, they got to deal with this thing I can't find, which is normally in front of me.
Ah, here it is.
Here it is. Listen. Listen to the action. Ow. Didn't make as much noise as I thought it would. That's good.
Like a ninja.
