Chapter 2: How does the conversation about Paul Newman influence the discussion?
And if you're wired another way, it's uncomfortable. And for Paul Newman, it seemed to be uncomfortable.
It's funny. After I saw the movie, it really stays with you. I mean, the thing is, it's funny. You hear a documentary about a racing thing. It cuts deeper than that. And I thought about it because... I'm doing this event ā the Harrison family, George Harrison's family asked me to do ā October 2nd, I'm going to the Grammy Museum and speaking about George.
They're showing this movie, Wonderwall, that his first solo record was a score for it. But I was thinking about George Harrison. And years ago, I helped Scorsese for a day on that documentary. And when I walked into the room with Scorsese and Olivia Harrison and Danny, the son, they said, what's your take on George? Martin Scorsese said that to me. And I was like, how am I going to ā
But I just on the way there heard this interview with George where he ā He revealed to me, I mean, in one quote, he said something about like, I just saw celebrity was not the answer. I just saw being a rock star was not the answer. And I think that that's what Paul Newman, I got from him. It's like he knew that Hollywood wasn't the thing for him. That wasn't the winning.
That wasn't his going to be his greatest victory. And you almost got the sense it was secondary to the racing. It's very clear. It comes through that racing was the dominant thing for him because he needed. That's where he reached his highest high and challenged himself.
And after you see it, it's funny because when you bring it up to people, they go, yeah, he used to race the celebrity circuit or something. And when you then you watched a movie and you go like, holy shit, was this guy into it?
Yeah. No. And it makes him the hero. Like, it's funny. There's great clips from like Butch casting the Sundance kid. I don't know how you afforded those or how that worked.
But documentary, you get you get a little fair use as long as you sort of use a few seconds and say it.
But the weird thing is he becomes a great Paul Newman hero, and it's really Paul Newman. I mean, you love Butch Cass and the Sundance Kids, those two guys. And you actually have Redford and Newman, and they are heroic. I mean, especially Redford doesn't claim heroicism, but it makes Paul Newman one of his greatest characters. Turns out to be Paul Newman.

Chapter 3: What insights are shared about relationships and communication?
It's like you want it to look grainy and shitty and weird. And if it didn't, you'd make it look grainy and shitty and weird because it's from 1976 and it's Road Atlanta. It's supposed to be a guy with a handheld camera. Now it was. But that was it. Yeah, there's a lot of archival stuff with him. It's just no one had ever assembled it.
I know it added up to a real portrait of the guy and his brother. Did you do that interview with his brother? Yes. I love his brother. And it made me.
Oh, wait a minute. No, his brother came here and watched the movie with us. I was in I was doing Catch a Contractor and Nate went to his brother's house in Palm Desert and sat down with him for like five hours.
And it's great because it's sort of like when you have the brother who doesn't quite like him, but you can see enough that there's like the same, you know, lineage and all that. It's sort of like it's having a way of having Paul. Yes, his eyes and everything. And it's not. And Paul Newman was like this amazing specimen where my mother, I remember, would always talk about his eyes.
But like you have this family member who's sort of standing in it. Like I was thinking, man, if I kick the bucket early, is my brother going to say that great stuff about me and my doc? Yeah. And I think not.
You think you're going to have a doc?
That's a good point. Yeah. I'm a Jew. I'm going to be a doc. Dr. David Wilde.
So I was driving into Whittier, California at about 7.20 this morning, getting ready for my glamorous day of catching contractors. I had on the satellite station, I was listening to my first wave just to frustrate me. And one of the songs... I break songs off into pieces. One of the songs that I think has one of the best openings from the 80s, just the best 41 seconds.
Some songs and a lot of songs get out of the gate a little bit slow and then start to kick it in. Even a lot of great songs start off as not much and then start to kick in and you love them. But this song by The Cure, always loved the beginning of this song, Turn It Up. You never hear me talk about The Cure. I just love the beginning of this song. The rest of the song is fine.

Chapter 4: What unreasonable thoughts does the speaker have about someone thinking of them?
I'd kind of be thinking about her. And I'd be, and here's the really unreasonable thought. Oh, yeah, she's thinking about me. I mean, she knows where it's at.
I mean, she wasn't there, but she was kind of, you know. I want to hear about your Gilbert Gottfried sex dream tomorrow.
Done. Yeah, if he shows up, he's running a little bit late.
Well, if not, then he can be faceless.
Oh, by the way, Gilbert is not here yet, so we shall see. You can ask Matt Fondelier how my batting average is when he brings up certain, like when he goes, Larry Miller's coming in, I go, great. When he goes, Gilbert Godfrey's going to be on the show, I go, phoner? And he goes, no, he's coming in. And I go, he's coming in? Yeah, coming in. And I was going, okay.
But there's a part of me that... Is dubious? The tone says we'll see. The tone is very... There's just guys. You just got in his muscle car and... Norm MacDonald is one of them.

Chapter 5: What are the dynamics of guest appearances on the show?
Like, Norm MacDonald's coming in. It's like, he is? He's phoning in? No, he's coming in. And then it's always smash cut to where's Norm? And then you kind of go, all right. But you would never say that about Joe Coy or aforementioned Larry Miller or David Wild. There's some people who I've never go, David Wild's coming in? You mean he's phoning in or he's coming? Like none of that.
When you ask if David Wild's phoning in, it's more hopeful. He's phoning in?
Yeah. Has he been in no show before? No.
It's not based on that much other than... Listen, get the Porcelain Punisher in here, please. Just... Porcelain Punisher. What up, boss? We have a guest. Thank you for wearing your Mangria shirt.
Chapter 6: What insights are shared about relationships and marriage?
Yeah, no problem. New formula. CorollaDrinks.com. When we have guests in here... That's what I meant. And we have a guest every show. I don't ask that often. Phoner? That's correct. But there's some guys, maybe once every three and a half months where I go, huh?
I feel like if there's a name that's of a certain echelon, like someone who's a pretty recognizable name, there is sometimes a question of, wait, is this person really going to be here or just a phoner? That's usually I feel like when you've brought it up. No, I don't want to disagree with you, but Gilbert Gottfried's not an A-list celebrity.
Hold on, here he is.
I mean, I understand what you're saying. There's just certain people that I go, is this person going to be here or not? Yeah. And I don't know why, but I just ask based on this algorithm of a few things, but I don't ask it most of the time. That's absolutely true. But when I do ask, my batting average is pretty good, right? Yeah, absolutely. This case in point right now.
Yeah, I was like, he's coming in? And yeah, no, it's not some guy from a band you've never heard of, but it's not, you know, yes, if Clint Eastwood said he was going to be on the show, I would say, is Clint Eastwood phoning in or is he coming in? Because that seems like a pretty good get for Mike August. Gilbert Godfrey, great guest, but not, you know, not first out at the Tonight Show.
But I still was sort of suspicious and... So far, my suspicions have proven correct. We still got time? We got 12 minutes? All right. I'll tell you what. Why don't we do some news? You want to hang out? Do you want to take a break? All right. I'll tell you what. Let's take a break. We'll see. Oh, wait a minute. We got one more call. I just don't want to leave him hanging. Then we'll do some news.
Hannah, 27, Portland. Yes. Hi, Adam. What's going on? I just moved in with my boyfriend in Portland and I took like your advice that you give on the show of square footage. So we have a two bedroom, two bath apartment that we're renting. And I just wanted advice on kind of like what to do as like moving with a boyfriend. I've done it before and it ended horribly.
And I was in school at the time and now I'm not in school. So any advice that you have? What do you mean it ended horribly? He broke up with me, and he had me move out and stuff like that, and then started dating another girl while I was still living there. You told him about how you dreamed a fucking dag, and he just said it. How'd you know?
Yeah, so now you're living together, and he's seeing somebody else. By the way, as many of those as you have, Brian, I will take. And you maybe suspect he may have been seeing her a little bit before you guys broke up. That was a previous boyfriend. So basically, I was told that I was a little bit emotionally unavailable because I was just so busy with school. Emotionally unavailable?

Chapter 7: What actions are taken against the woman from Santa Monica?
Corolla's excited. Doesn't she need to be fired? Or at least a good shaming. Okay, we'll try to figure it out. I mean, maybe we can't get her fired, but I think a shaming. So, okay, if you live in Santa Monica and you've seen this woman on YouTube and you can identify her. I just want to talk to her supervisor and try to get her shit canned. Yeah, I believe she was out of line.
Chapter 8: What personal stories do the hosts share about their past experiences?
Yes. And she deserves to be, if not fired, she deserves to be reprimanded. Listen, it's harassment. And as I've said many, many times before, forget about the birth of my twins and marriage and my... I don't know if I've mentioned it at this show yet, my all-league plaque from high school.
Greatest day of my life was driving my car through Santa Monica with my cardboard plate on the back of the car. And by the way, in... In three and a half months, I will be turning my car in after a four-year lease with the piece of cardboard license plate that I still have on it from McKenna Audi in God knows where.
I was driving down Wilshire Boulevard through Santa Monica, and a motorcycle cop was coming at me. And he said, no front license plate. He could see I had no front license plate. And I looked in my rear view and I saw the motorcycle cop hook a Yui. Would have been nice if he got clipped. That would have been awesome. But he hooked a Yui and he came right up on me.
And when you drive by a motorcycle cop and there's just you and the motorcycle cop and he's coming the other way and you see him hook a Yui in your rear view, you are getting pulled over 100% of the time. But you want to know what? That retard pussy saw my cardboard plate and he said, well, he's still got the dealer thing on there. That's why he doesn't need the front license plate.
And he peeled off. Now, of course, my real license plate were floating around in my trunk for a year and a half before that. Fuck you, Santa Monica. Kiss my fucking hairy, sweaty, salty balls, you fucking communists. God, do I hate you. Good times. And let me say something else. My buddy, my writing partner, Kevin Hench, I told him... You can't say salty, sweaty? No.
When you get a car, don't ever put the plates on. Don't ever put the plates on. Just have that cardboard dealer plate. Not the one that says dealer. The one that says the name of the dealer that's made out of cardboard that's on the back of the thing. So he said, yeah, I'll do it. So he went to like Infinity and Burbank Infinity. And he got his next car. And I said, leave that thing on there.
And about four months later, he got pulled over. Not doing anything, just pulled over on his way to his job where he pays his taxes. And the cop said, you know what? I could see that dealer plate was faded. I could see it was yellow. I could see it was aged. It had been on the car too long. And he took a certain amount of pride in that. Well, he was doing police work. Yeah. Investigating. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah, you should be on the fucking SWAT team, you pussy. Jesus Christ. And by the way, I was at a restaurant yesterday and ran into a whole bunch of LAPD's finest. Yeah. And took a picture with them. And they said, we don't write chicken shit tickets. I like that. And I thought, you know what? It gives a pink eye to the whole department when you do that. Because imagine you're a cop.
And think about this. I was talking to someone about this. Just dig this vibe for a second. What did you think of cops when you grew up? Like, when I thought of cops growing up, I thought of guys firing their guns, sliding across hoods, like, yelling, freeze, and no time for backup. And now I think of cops and I think of chicken shit tickets.
