So excited.
Love that guy. And also Andrew and Brian, other Brian at the other shop. Will Andrew and Brian eat it? We're doing a Thanksgiving edition, so we'll look forward to that. Thanks, you guys, for getting the 24-Hour War. It's been selling like hotcakes and so much so that we crashed a website. What? I know.
It's such a good problem to have. More reflection of the website.
Yeah, I think so.

Chapter 2: How does Adam Carolla promote his new podcast?
I got up this morning. I'm sure it is. Don't laugh that hard. I got a beef with Waze. Waze beef, man. Uh-oh. Waze beef. I said to the Porcelain Punisher... Oh, good day, Gina Grant. Good day to you. Ann Balbrian. No burger made off. I said to the Porcelain Punisher last week, I said, we're getting a press tour together for Sirius, Sirius XM, blah, blah, blah. I said... Where is it?
And he said, I don't know. I'll check. And then I went like, please, please, please don't let it be out on Wilshire and Fairfax or over there a million miles away. It's got to be there at 815 in the morning. And it was like a miracle mile right there, kind of where Kalis X used to be a little further.
Is it in the Variety building? Is it in my building?
No, it's not in that building. It's along Wilshire, what they call Miracle Mile. Kind of across the street from the Tar Pits or actually down a little bit by the Peterson Automotive Museum. Anyway, I said, do the thing with Waze where you check in advance. From my house to this place. And I did it last week. And he said, hour 15 minutes. I was like, ooh, that's not that far.
The distance isn't that far. And I said, God, that sounds long. And then I said, check again yesterday. And he checked again, and it was down to like 1.13. So either way, I was supposed to be there at 8.15, so I left my house at 7.10, just because I never want to get anywhere too early. And I got there 10 minutes before 8.
I've never been so early in my life, and I'm pissed at Waze because I knew it. I said two times, like, 1.15, that's too long. That's too long. That's too long. And it got there in about 55 minutes. But as... I've realized what Waze sends you on. And I'm going to try to be clear with my wording. Los Angeles is just coming undone.
And Waze sends you through every part that's coming undone faster than the next. It's always get off the 5 freeway, turn down Academy Boulevard, go down Silver Lake Highway, go over the road.
Make this impossible left turn where there's no light or stop sign.
Yeah, but... You don't ā there's a kind of weird thing. When the world wakes up and it's noon, there's civilians walking around. When you're driving around at 7, 15 in the morning, it's just homeless people that you see out there with the one intrepid jogger chick who's like literally wearing ā

Chapter 3: What insights does Adam share about his experiences with Waze?
The hunt for scavengers.
I drive through scavengers who are scavenging through the dumpster of life.
That's right.
They're just pushing... No, literal dumpsters of life. Yeah, they are. They're pushing shopping carts with stuff piled high on it. They're dragging dog sleds filled with junk and stuff. They are...
scavengers and i'm driving or through them and around them to get from my house to the miracle mile is that a thing that's unique to la do you think or it's got to be in other huge municipalities where people with there are gigantic uh shopping carts full of cans and bottles being pushed by uh scavengers i mean that's like they're that's like their supplemental income or possibly the primary income i i just thought it's so ubiquitous here i'm like does that happen everywhere
I don't know.
It's going to happen in a lot of places, right?
It is. It's gone. We're going full third world when you, again, just live where I live, go to Miracle Mile, and go Waze it all the way during traffic. And roll them up. You will be driving. I drove through a Somali tent city camp that was like, I literally left our own borders. Oh, wow. I went into international waters. I went into international waters. Yes. Yes. They checked your passport.
I drove through that thing where he had to stay at the beginning of Scarface when they took all the refugees from Cuba. By the freeway. I drove through that to get to the Miracle Mile. Yeah. It is getting sad out here. I don't know. You know, they do this thing where they go... Well, you can you can judge a society by how it treats its prisoners, you know, and that's fine.

Chapter 4: What are the consequences of being a people pleaser?
Well, neuroses is like paprika, like a dusting of it is good. Like a pleaser, being a pleaser to a certain extent is no good because you don't want to see this movie, but you agree to go or you agree to go eat Thai food, but you're allergic to Thai food, but you're a pleaser. And then you resent the person or you have gas or whatever.
I've done that in my life.
But I was aware at some point that I had a lot of anger and I was passive aggressive. And, you know, I'm in therapy now, believe it or not, at this age. So being the pleaser, it comes back to haunt whoever you're pleasing because you end up paying with a little interest and penalties on it.
It's a dysfunctional way to be.
You get your way, which is I want Thai food. Are you in the mood for Thai food? No, not really, but I'll go. Because you want to go, and then you go, and later on you'll be punished through whatever modality.
Yeah, I mean, in my professional life, so to speak, I was able to stand up for myself when I needed to. I wasn't so pleasing like, oh, you do this sketch, you know? Right. But in my personal life and what happened to me and others is just being very tight with my brothers and sisters, and then all of a sudden...
I was famous and getting very wealthy where I could make it one night where my brother, who we shared the bunk bed, like one of my very best friends to this day, it would take him four years to earn that. So that's just been a very weird process.
It doesn't pay what it used to. That's for damn sure.
Why did you get gay prostitutes? Well, you've got to work. I'm not judging him.

Chapter 5: How do childhood experiences shape adult relationships?
I'm making a comment. Don't get so angry at me.
Regular money. You know, regular money, I think. Yeah, during the day.
And then the streetlights would come on, and you'd have to make some extra scratch. You do what you've got to do.
It's called for pay.
I thought this was the clean show. I thought this was the one where we're not going to. But anyway, so there's all these different things about me that maybe are underneath the surface of nice guy. I got a quick question before Gina does.
You all seem nice.
It's at the tip of my tongue. I met Mike Myers, I think, once. He strikes me as a genius, but he also strikes me as sort of a little bizarre or different. I'm not trying to say something in a negative way.
No, no, no. He's very eccentric and very to himself. He always was just, you know, he's kind of European and Canadian in a way. And his parents were Liverpool fans.
He was a child star in Canada. Oh, he was. Yeah. And sort of a wonder kind.

Chapter 6: What lessons does Dana Carvey share about his early career?
I mean, is it is it do you stay in touch? Is it hard to keep up with guys that sort of just I don't know. I feel like there's some people that slough off and it's kind of they're doing. And then people say to you, like, hey, you keeping up with them? And it's like, no, but that's because they kind of fell off a little bit or they go their kind of solo act.
Yeah, I mean, some people have more layers to get through. Mike changes his email a lot. I don't know, like, if he has security issues. But when we do email, when I saw him on the 40th, we did a sketch together, and it was fine. I mean, I'm friendly. The ones who came in originally, Dennis Miller I talk to pretty regularly, Kevin Nealon all the time, John Lovitz. Those are kind of the three.
It is like, you know...
It's a weird thing to have happen and share with people because it's, you know. Yes, sorry.
Can I ask you a geeky fan question?
Yes.
I think one of my all-time favorite sketches of all of SNL, and you happen to be in it, was Massive Head Wound Harry.
Oh, my God.
Gary, you can probably find a still of this. It's probably not good. It's such a visual gag that it's not good to show the video. But the idea, remember this sketch? Yes. The idea for the people listening is a guy shows up at a cocktail party. He has a massive head wound.

Chapter 7: What ideas are proposed for a new comedy show?
What's going on? Hey, now, guys. What's going on? I called last month to talk about my web series. You guys gave me some pretty cool advice. And, Adam, thank you so much. You've been liking my videos on Instagram, and I wanted to pitch you as possibly being an executive producer for my show, Comics Watching Comics. Oh, right.
Because you've got nothing going on.
Yeah.
Um... Yeah, Kevin. You did like the premise stuff.
I did. I just had 10,000 things doing.

Chapter 8: How do the hosts discuss the challenges of producing content?
If it's one of those things where you just put my name on it and send me a check, I might be down with that. Well, it's the easiest EP credit you could ever hope for. Here's why. I've got some stuff written down here. I emailed August about that and never heard back. I thought I'd go right to the source because I've got a little thing called Grit. But anyway. All right. So there you go.
One, all I would need is just here and there to talk about the show on the podcast. Having to sit through this call makes it not the easiest EP credit you've ever done. That's true.
That, number two, if you're ever in New York, sit on a panel, sit on a panel and watch the comics with us. And three. dialing up to the network contacts.
You have the Sharon Levy's of Spikes of the World or your buddy Jimmy Kimmel seeing how we can get this show pitched to a network.
He doesn't so much need a producer as Fairy Godmother.
Yeah, he's looking for a comedic drug mule to basically mule this thing into Spike and Jimmy Kimmel. All right, keep working on it. That's a hard yes, Kevin. That's right. You say yes or pass. Jay Moore is out there. We'll bring him in. We always love Jay Moore. David Wild, tonight, by the way, there's a live taping.
Tonight, if you're in L.A., if you want to go to Hollywood and see a Comedy Central show way before it's on Comedy Central, a few months beforehand, it's thecomedyjamtickets.com, thecomedyjamtickets.com. I promise you will see not only some great comedians, but a wide range of musical guests that will charm and delight you.
And shoot them a tweet at Wild About Music. We'll take a quick break. We'll be right back with Jay Moore. In the spirit of Murrow, Cronkite, Brokaw, here's another great moment in local news. Heroic effort to save a deer that was stuck on an iced-over river.
Now, that deer wasn't able to get off the Farmington River in Connecticut yesterday. A crowd had stopped on the side of the road when someone called police.
