Chapter 1: What is discussed at the start of this section?

0.183 - 21.812 Adam Carolla

Well, in this episode, very funny comedian Osama Sadiq joins me. Also, Adam Yenzer's got the news, and we'll do that right after this. You're invited to a special audience screening of the world-famous K-Rock Doc. We were the first to play the biggest bands in the history of music. With producer... Adam Carolla.

22.132 - 43.403 Adam Carolla

I made the K-Rock documentary because I kept running into people who had their own stories about K-Rock and their memories of K-Rock. Featuring No Doubt, Green Day, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Blink-182, Depeche Mode, The Cure, U2. Los Angeles has a musical punch. That fist has KROQ right on it.

0

43.383 - 45.527 Usama Siddiquee

KROQ is where everything happens.

45.547 - 50.716 Unknown

We started broadcasting September 2nd of 1972. We didn't even listen.

50.736 - 74.354 Adam Carolla

The world-famous KROQ doc. It captures a time that will never exist again. Saturday, June 20th at 8 p.m. Tickets at adamcarolla.com. At first, I didn't think it was real. I woke up to this blinding light, and I was transported to another place. Pluto TV! Then, I heard a voice. Come with me if you want to live.

Chapter 2: How does the K-Rock documentary reflect on music history?

74.374 - 80.241 Adam Carolla

There were thousands of movies and shows, and they were all free! The truth is, it's just so beautiful!

0

80.862 - 91.716 Usama Siddiquee

On Pluto TV, free streaming of Terminator 2, Fringe, Arrow, The 100, and The X-Files may cause excitement, loss of sleep, and sudden belief in extraterrestrials. No credit cards or alien encounters necessary. Pluto TV. Stream now. Pay never.

99.003 - 123.408 Adam Carolla

From Corolla One Studios in Glendale, California, this is The Adam Corolla Show. Adam's guest today, comedian Husama Siddiqui. Plus the news with Adam Yenzer. And now, Adam Corolla. Yeah, get it on. Got to get on the church. We got a mandate. Get it on. Thanks for tuning in. Thanks for telling a friend. Love that about you. Sama Siddiqui. Hello. Comedian.

0

123.448 - 153.428 Adam Carolla

You may have seen him on the Netflix series. The Kevin Hart series. Funny as fuck. I'll say the whole thing here. Came in second. You know, though, and I never thought about this. Everyone wants to win all the competitions. But if you go back and you look at... American Idol or Singer or Comics. I feel like number two has a better, longer career than number one. Clay Aiken, Jennifer Hudson.

0

153.949 - 184.262 Adam Carolla

All the great comedians. One Direction. All the funniest. The funniest Americans. You know what? I don't know. Let's look up who won the major stuff. Now, you can't do Dancing with the Stars because Mario Lopez was Mario Lopez before Dancing with the Stars. But... The shows that are like America's Got Talent, I'd say that Idol and stuff like that, number two probably bears better.

184.282 - 188.109 Adam Carolla

So this is good for you. It felt good. I mean, at the moment, it was devastating, man.

188.289 - 206.918 Usama Siddiquee

I mean, Jesus Christ, like on screen, millions of people not hearing the name destroyed me. But then 10 seconds in, I had those same thoughts. I was like, it's all good. Yeah. The visibility is crazy. The fans are there. And the pressure is off. Now everything you do, there's kind of that underdog indignance. People are like, no, man, you should have won, blah, blah, blah.

206.938 - 236.284 Adam Carolla

And that helps way more than, oh, so you won. Let's see what's up. Yeah, yeah. I agree. In a weird way, when I used to play baseball a lot – And I would fantasize – like a lot of guys would fantasize about hitting the home run. I would fantasize about having an incredible at-bat that ended up with a strikeout. Yeah. Where you foul off seven balls and you hit three that –

236.264 - 261.41 Adam Carolla

just missed the foul pole and would have been home runs, and then you take a big cut and go out. There's something more glorious about that than a garden variety home run. People love the grit more than anything. That shove that Wemby did to Brunson recently, that's going to put Brunson in this beautiful underdog thing for even more. Yeah, I agree.

Chapter 3: What insights does Usama Siddiquee share about competition in comedy?

387.961 - 414.14 Adam Carolla

Because it used to be a comedian could be caught by TMZ and go, we should blow up the White House. Now you'll get arrested. Of course. Even though there's no way D.L. Hughley could blow up the White House or Madonna could blow up the White House. And comedians... You know, you joke like, oh my, you know, I'd kill myself if, you know, whatever, if my ex ever dated, blah, blah, blah. Forget that.

0

414.18 - 439.962 Adam Carolla

You can't even be like gay. That was, that was every day. Yelling something's gay. Yeah. That was every day. My mom yelled that. The part I loved about gay is just the idea. Well, it's the explanation where you have to talk to actual gay people and go, I'm not saying gay like suck dick like you. I'm saying gay like super lame. Like you don't want to be that. Like you'd embarrass to be around.

0

440.102 - 465.717 Adam Carolla

Older gays understand this. Older gay people are like, honey, that's gay. They'll throw it in. It's the newer ones that are kind of, they're not as fun. My, my. The thing that's funny about the gays is when either the gays or the politicians, like when progressive politicians are like, you know, I got knee pads for Donald Trump because he's sucking Vladimir Putin's dick. It's like...

0

465.697 - 485.682 Adam Carolla

It's not supposed to be an insult to engage in gay behavior if you're a progressive politician of California. Yes. You're not supposed to be making fun of guys for engaging in gay sexuality. They don't know, because they've never been bullied before, so they don't understand the nuance. Yeah, it's a lot of nuance and bullying. You've got to be bullied by a bigger man to understand these things.

0

486.103 - 486.203

Yeah.

487.313 - 512.914 Adam Carolla

I miss, you're too young. We used to have a name. If we made a guy gay, his name was Bruce. Hey, Bruce. What? You're such a sweet, savage Bruce. You picked a name. If you were a big black guy, your name was Bubba? If you're a gay guy, your name was Bruce? I did not know. This is new. We had names, and we spoke a certain way.

512.954 - 533.571 Adam Carolla

But like I said, if you had a big black cellmate in prison, his name is Baba. Crazy. And then what they would go is, you're going to get stuck in some cell with some dude named Baba. That's insane. And have to watch him shit in that toilet all day. And then if you were gay, you'd be Bruce. What show is this from? What did y'all learn from the Bruce thing? You know...

533.551 - 565.638 Adam Carolla

Before the internet, you got to really think about this. There was a rumor that Rod Stewart ingested so much semen that he had to have his stomach pumped. Whoa. Okay. Now, I grew up in North Hollywood, California. I met guys later on in life from Brattleboro, Vermont. And I said, we're the same age. Yeah. The whole Rod Stewart stomach pump. Yeah, it took too much semen.

565.698 - 570.667 Adam Carolla

I'm like, how'd it get to Brattleboro, Vermont? There's no internet.

Chapter 4: How did Usama Siddiquee transition from med school to comedy?

2723.496 - 2723.997 Adam Carolla

Go ahead.

2725.124 - 2752.667 Unknown

Hello, my name is Sachin Littlefeather. I'm Apache, and I'm president of the National Native American Affirmative Image Committee. I'm representing Marlon Brando this evening, and he has asked me to tell you in a very long speech, which I cannot share with you presently because of time, but I will be glad to share with the press afterwards, that he very regretfully cannot accept

0

2752.951 - 2765.451 Unknown

this very generous award. And the reasons for this being are the treatment of American Indians today by the film industry. Excuse me.

0

2767.294 - 2774.145 Adam Carolla

Hold on. There's like, there's a drunken John Wayne and Charlton Heston in the audience.

0

2774.165 - 2777.19 Usama Siddiquee

I get this bitch off the fucking stage.

2777.39 - 2780.595 Adam Carolla

All right. So I want to hear more about her life.

2780.643 - 2823.812 Unknown

The reasons for this being are the treatment of American Indians today by the film industry. Excuse me. And on television, in movie reruns, and also with recent happenings at Wounded Knee. I beg at this time that we have not intruded upon this evening, and that we will, in the future, our hearts and our understandings will meet with love and generosity. Thank you on behalf of Marlon Brando.

2824.94 - 2827.706 Adam Carolla

We've got to bum everyone's shit out.

2827.726 - 2830.593 Usama Siddiquee

It's so good that she's not Indian. That just makes everything so good.

Chapter 5: What insights does Usama Siddiquee share about his comedy journey?

3151.759 - 3161.036 Adam Carolla

I didn't know. What a great guy. What a great guy. He's so powerful. Yeah, my grandma was in the Daughters of the American Revolution. Probably knew your grandfather.

3161.697 - 3184.625 Adam Carolla

Oh, my God. They were there before the Indians. Now, can we just do – let's look at Charlie Hill's act because it wasn't bad. But that's a great joke. I think it's a great joke. But I'm going to go deeper with you. You get up there. Oh, God. And you go, you know, I'm Indian. Yeah, sure. They wanted me to go to med school, but I became a comedian. And here's what happened.

0

3184.785 - 3191.754 Adam Carolla

And then you do an American Indian act. You do all the Buffalo jokes. With the same accent, too.

0

3191.774 - 3193.436 Unknown

You do the same. I'm an American Indian.

3193.456 - 3203.568 Adam Carolla

You just do the first 15 minutes of Charlie Hill's routine. By the way, you think those idiots at the comedy store on a Wednesday are going to know what the fuck Charlie Hill is? They don't know. They don't know.

3203.988 - 3205.189 Usama Siddiquee

You're going to pull that shit off.

3205.209 - 3228.467 Adam Carolla

He must be an outside Native American where he was working outside, so he got a little darker. Yeah. You know, that kind of shit. Because his act was funny and it was all American Indian shit. Well, he's only a stand-up. Did he not have like a show? Don't they give those guys like one show if they get pretty popular? It used to be in the 70s, we would give like Freddie Prinze Sr.

3228.507 - 3255.794 Adam Carolla

Freddie Prinze... was a comedian when he was like 19 or 20. And then we gave him a show called Chico and the Man. And it was like a hit sitcom. And then he either killed himself or It's like, it's kind of a weird thing when people go, he didn't kill himself. It was just gunplay. Like he was just like putting a gun to his head, fucking around and it went off or whatever.

Chapter 6: How does the discussion shift to the topic of voting and election integrity?

3255.814 - 3266.409 Adam Carolla

And he killed himself. But yes, we used to, if you're a hot comedian, we gave you a show. Sure. But not, I don't know about American Indian. Sure.

0

3266.529 - 3266.99 Unknown

It was not that.

0

3267.31 - 3273.379 Adam Carolla

We gave Freddie Prince, we gave Chico and the Man a show. All right, let's see if we could just memorize the first 10 minutes of a second.

0

3273.359 - 3278.584 Unknown

Dean had cowboys. Jesus Christ, this is amazing. I can't even use the bathroom.

0

3278.604 - 3282.869 Adam Carolla

It doesn't have underwear. Hey. He's doing the afternoon joke.

3282.929 - 3287.413 Unknown

Tell some Indian jokes. One little two, little three, little whitey, four little five, little six.

3287.433 - 3293.519 Adam Carolla

You can do that. That piss you off too, huh? That's funny. He's a hunky guy, man.

3293.539 - 3295.281 Unknown

People back there putting their tables in a circle.

3296.062 - 3301.948 Adam Carolla

He was probably crushing tables in a circle. Is this a store? I don't know where this is.

Chapter 7: What are the implications of the lawsuit filed by Karen Bass's brother?

3347.675 - 3372.423 Adam Carolla

Boom. Boom. First of all, he's fucking funny. Oh, yeah, it's good. I don't know when he died. Freddie Prince died at 23. So he was literally stand up at like 19, 20, 21. That blows my mind that his kid had a whole career afterwards. Freddie Puth Jr.? Had a whole career. And he was smart enough to shit out a kid before the gunplay stuff. Yeah. It's genetic, the gunplay, of course.

0

3372.463 - 3403.536 Adam Carolla

It's always kind of funny. Freddie Prince died age 23. Yeah. 1977. Yeah. It was a weird thing. That's so insane. And then his son became this like legit heartthrob look, romantic comedy star. I think I did. I think I was in a movie with Freddie Prince. Oh yeah. Junior. What do you think you were? Well, I think I starred in a movie with, we, we did. He was in a movie with,

0

3404.258 - 3409.127 Adam Carolla

That was a romantic comedy. And it was me and Jimmy.

0

Chapter 8: How does Adam Carolla critique the concept of privilege in society?

3409.147 - 3443.527 Adam Carolla

And we were like reenacting the man show in this guy's movie. Yeah, sure. And it must have been 2001 or 2002 or something. And it was weird because we would be... I did TV shows. I did Loveline. I did The Man Show. And I would go on TV shows as the guy from the other TV show, which is weird. It's kind of weird, though, because they didn't really do it.

0

3443.547 - 3447.917 Adam Carolla
