And if you'd like to request a clip, please email us, classicsatadamcorolla.com. Now, on to the clips. First, I have an update. Going back through all the Love Line episodes, I found the episode where Adam's first dog, Lottie, died.
back in 1998 with guest shane in that episode he actually clarifies it was not billy from his crew that was all broken about the dog it was dave i don't think dave appeared in the uh adam crowell project maybe one of the guys that worked on adam's properties and moved on or uh Just didn't want to be part of the show.
So Dave was apparently painting near the dog and got to become really fond of it. One of the theories was like, oh no, possibly got into paint or paint thinner and ate some of that or something else happened because the dog experienced such internal trauma. So it was Adam, Lynette, and Dave that were dealing with the fallout of Lotzi, not Billy. Clarified.
Jumping to another one of Adam's dogs, I thought it'd be fun to have another Philly story.
philly cheesesteak adam's late dog this one was phil in studio and adam making fun of himself for becoming one of the people that brings his dog in studio much like brian bishop did four years prior with his dog charlie who's also recently passed it's uh much to brian's delight to mock adam at this unique scenario adam carolla show 1761 featuring william shatner gina grad and brian bishop from 2016 adam's a dog guy now check it out
Welcome to the show. Thank you so much for tuning in. Thanks for saying hi. Thanks. Oh, Philly cheesesteak is here. Look, there's nothing more obnoxious than people and their pets. Well, maybe people and their kids. And I've been guilty of...
It's a good thing you don't make your pets or your kids a part of the show.
You're talking about them quite a bit lately. Gina Grad here, everybody. And Bald Brian as well. Gina, let it go. I'm sorry. It's my favorite word. It's offensive. Phil came with me to work today because it was raining outside, or it was raining, and the wife had a few appointments, and we didn't want to leave Phil out in the rain. Even though... Someone left Phil out in the rain.

Chapter 2: What significant event involving Adam's dog is recounted?
Phil did something that was really, really nice the other day, which is he sleeps on Natalia's bed. He hangs out with me in the office until it's time for... For me to go to sleep and then I sort of shoo him outside for one last emptying of the bladder. And then it's time for me to carry him up on, put him up on top of Natalia, who's asleep by then.
But Phil then sleeps dutifully, hopefully not too dutifully on top of Natalia. But I was sitting in my office the other day. and I was just chatting it up with the wife, and Phil was just sort of sitting on the floor, and Natalia was in the other room and started making a noise, as only Natalia will do.
Natalia comes from a long line of loudmouths who I realize it's bizarre, but my grandmother famously would come home from work and scream for my grandfather, It was one of these things. It's tantamount to the person that knocks on the bathroom door and then opens it simultaneously.
Somehow props that are open.
Yes. Let me explain the concept behind knocking on a bathroom door or any door, whether it's the maid who does the room service or the maid, you know, and she'll do the thing where she'll tap twice on the door long enough for you to look up from the toilet. And then the door just goes sailing open. And you're like.
Here's how I feel like I want to have this discussion with people named streets and with people who knock. Like, here is the purpose of why the Blue Jay Way and Lane and Terrace shouldn't be next to each other, because they all start with Blue Jay.
And the reason you knock is to see if somebody's inside the room that may be napping in an intimate moment or may just be watching TV in their underpants. But either way. You must then give them time to respond. Otherwise, the knock is really null and void, and all it does is you now are established with eye contact while the person is mid-beat or mid-shit or mid-what-nap or mid-whatever.
If all the knock does is give you time to turn and look... Yeah, you've ironically made it the opposite of what the knock should be. Right, and... My grandmother would come home from the VA, and she'd just walk through the door, and she'd be like, Lottie!
And then, without any hesitation, like she didn't... He'd be in the kitchen running like Tom Cruise with the weird karate chop hands, yelling, yes, dear, but he couldn't beat her. He couldn't beat her. It was somehow... She thought he was fucking Dr. Bombay. Like...

Chapter 3: How does Adam reflect on parenting and childhood experiences?
Guy who owned the dojo, by the way, who Lynette's never met, and or if she did meet, she was nine and has not seen in 40 years. When that person goes, feel free to incorporate that. Well, feel free not to call at all. Right.
Right. An email would suffice. A text.
Keep it to yourself. I would say nothing. Or nothing.
You're right. This is not news.
I'm saying if one of my dad's trumpet buddies from 35 years ago passed away at age 86, I wouldn't need a heads up.
Was there any follow-up conversation with the brother?
That's a strange way to... There was this great moment of Lynette looking at me going... Here we go. Like, OK, dad, dad's gone. Dad's gone. And then there's me kind of having that stupid moment where I have to balance my own feelings and agendas versus being a human being.
Right.
It's like, oh, fuck. Now it's a night of shit. Like, are we going to have to pack up and head out to the house?

Chapter 4: What encouragement did Lynette receive during labor?
I told her, go shit that kid out. Fist bump. No, but look, I didn't like having my wisdom teeth removed, but I didn't go to a class with my wife for six months leading into having my wisdom teeth removed. Look, I don't look forward to it. It's uncomfortable. There's blood involved. It's painful. It just is. The hand-holding, leading up into it, it's a procedure. It's a part of life that...
It's not comfortable. It's not pretty. When it's done, it's great. You're glad you did it. But for the two hours you're there, it's stressful. It's painful. It's whatever.
Chapter 5: How do childbirth and wisdom teeth removal compare?
But so are many things in life. I guess having your fucking gallbladder removed is that way. But do you have to go to a bunch of classes leading into it?
The two hours of having your wisdom teeth out or of childbirth?
Shitting out the kid, having the childbirth. I mean, look, if you go natural, you mean labor for long periods of time. If you go C-section, which a lot of people do these days and the insurance companies ask, as you do, and you get past a certain age or you have multiples like I did and blah, blah, blah. You schedule it. You go do it. It's a procedure. It's not... It's an extraction. Yes.
Like the wisdom teeth were extracted, except for I didn't put the kids in Lucite and put them on my desk. Not yet. Yeah. We'll see how their attitude is. Brad? Awesome. Thanks, Adam. No, here's what I'm saying.
I'm going to sound like a douchebag, but there's a whole bunch of industries that have sprung up around nervous whitey with too much cash, P-Whip dad, and too much fucking time on our hands. And then you become... Fucking Tobar, the fucking barbarian, if you go, fuck that. Why do we have to go every weekend to a class and you've got to learn to breathe and I've got to hold your hand? Why?
When nobody did this before us? Nobody? When it didn't exist? When the entire planet didn't do this until 11 years ago? Mm-hmm. Do we really need it? It's the same fucking thing I said about my kid and his corrective helmet. Really? He needs a helmet? How come no other human being needed a fucking helmet? How come no kid I went to junior high with or grade school needed a helmet?
How come nobody before this day needed a fucking corrective helmet? The answer is the same answer. Hey, guilty, rich, whitey, because we're telling you, and it's one more thing for your insurance to pay for, and it's one more thing for you to cut us a check for, and it's one more thing for everyone at the fucking dinner party to look at you and go, what? You didn't get your... No helmet?
No helmet? No birthing class? No, it's a waste of time. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. There is so fucking much of that that has sprung up in our culture.

Chapter 6: What insights does Will Forte share about his career journey?
It's fucking bullshit. The kids don't need it any more than they needed the helmet. Kids have no fucking idea in terms of born and birthing and all that kind of shit. As far as the women go... There's anxiety. Yes. There's pain. Yes. There's all those things. That's what it is. You want to remove that? That's childbirth. I don't know. Would you like to just have no knowledge of that day?
Would you like to just be completely numb and coast through it? It sounds good, but I mean, I don't know. But anxiety, nerves, certain degree of physical pain, yeah, that's child birthing, I believe. I would dare to say that creates a bit of a bond.
You go through an ordeal. You go through something to get something extremely valuable.
I would say if you went to the extreme and just went, you show up and there's the wicker basket with the two kids in it the following morning and you didn't go through anything. Like if a mom didn't go through morning sickness, didn't go through the sacrifices of, I couldn't drink. Well, no, but a lot of women, you know.
You're at a party and it's like everyone's having a glass of wine and enjoying themselves. And you're sitting there sucking on some fucking juice box. And the physical pain and getting out of shape, stretch marks, whatever it is. There's probably, you know, no pain, no gain kind of thing. But, yeah, I think there is a connection, a bond, just like guys have in the military.
Just like guys have at football practice. Oh, it was two-a-days. It was tough. Guys were vomiting. It was physically tough. But I've created this, but you're worth it. In other words, child, you were worth what I had to go through. Mamas, vagine and anus became one. Because of you. That's right. But you were worth it.
I like how your first example of a woman's sacrifice isn't giving up her career or putting it on the back burner. It was stopping drinking for nine months.
Well, I don't know if you don't ā I don't know. The first month, I think you can't drink. Actually, that's a good point. So it's about seven and a half months. And obviously, I mean hard liquor.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Not the occasional.

Chapter 7: What are the implications of using dogs for health detection?
We shouldn't be stripping off the things that are on our skin. We're using too much soap and cleanser, blah, blah, blah, blah. When I talk about it, people kind of go, eh. And then it turns out I was right.
A million years ago, I was talking about crows and how smart crows were and how we should be using attack crows and dogs and how good dogs were and how they should be sniffing out cancer and venereal diseases in women at parties. Put them by the front door, Joe. When they start chasing the tail. That is the most genius thing ever. That's right. You're a genius.
I've been saying this my entire adult life. How cool would that be? Just a dog that sniffs STDs and just starts howling the minute he senses one. And here's the deal. At the club. At the club.
At the club. Because it's your service dog. You can take it inside.
They're all wearing miniskirts. Oh, my. They're all wearing miniskirts. Micro minis. Medium-sized dog just sitting on his hind. He's right there. All women love dogs. And they don't take any offense to the dog sniffing out the snatch, right? They go right... That's what dogs do. They go, oh, look at him, look at him, look at him. Smells like my dog. Yes. Is your dog's name Chlamydia?
Get out of here.
Yes, it is. How'd you know?
No. And also, when they do this thing where it's like, well, they can train dogs. They can take... Pot welded into a fender filled with coffee grounds, and the dog can smell the pot through the truck fender in the coffee. Cocaine, explosives, whatever. Backyard fruit. Couldn't smell an STD on a chick that's been over to Kalen's pad a couple too many times. Right? Yeah.
Okay. That's child's play.

Chapter 8: How does homework impact children's education?
It's like, look, you've just been at school all day. Now here's a shopping list of shit to do when you get home so your parents will get divorced. That's basically what it is. And I'm sitting there and I'm looking at this list that was like copied. Someone took a picture of it, the camera or something like... S. P. H. Y. Like, I don't know. Now, Olga's on online trying to figure out.
And I'm looking at it and I said, pseudonym. And she's like, pseudonym. What means that? And I said, pseudonym. It's like a name, like a fake name. Like a nom de plume. Not your real name. Not like his plume. Not your real name. You know, like a name you would, like a writer would use a pseudonym. Like, okay, Mark Twain. Mark Twain's not his real name. Who is Mark Twain? Mark Twain. Hold on.
You don't know Mark Twain? No. You should know. I think you should know who Mark Twain is. No, I don't know who Mark Twain is. Now another argument, separate side. I like to take my arguments and break them off, parcel them off in the small. Now I get to have a small side argument. Like a side pot poker. Listen, I'm dumb, but I know who Mark Twain is, and I know his pseudonym.
Yeah, it's Mark Twain and Samuel Clemens, right? And all that. And so we're having this another side thing. And then I realized, what the fuck are we doing? And then... I get this article, and people, all right, Gary, do you have the article? I do. Okay. You do realize that between the homework and then the stupid projects, the goddamn projects, your home is destroyed.
It is a nonstop, never-ending, cyclical argument, bigger than the galaxy of, did you do, where's your words? Did you get your words? Hold on, give me that. When are your words due? Hold on. When is this? Sonny, when did you get this? Tomorrow. No, it's not tomorrow. When is this due? Olga, when is this due? It's a pseudonym. Hold on. You've got to write a report. The report is due. Tomorrow.
In the fourth grade, do you really need to know about a pseudonym? Is that what you're asking? That's one of your spelling words? A pseudonym?
They shouldn't be creating aliases.
In case he wants to start an ISIS sleeper cell, he'll know the proper nomenclature when it comes to discussions about starting. I'm just like, can they just go to school and then come home and then do whatever the fuck they do at home?
Yes.
