Chapter 1: What experiences does Jane Goodall share about her journey to Africa?
When we left for the winter holiday, I thought we would go by car first. But then we went by train, and dad drove our car there. We stayed there in the train all night. The sleeping car was really nice, except I wanted to sleep upstairs. But my sister went there, because she is older. And in the morning, when I woke up, we were together.
Freedom travels by rail. VR. On a joint journey.

Now we already played this one earlier this year back in January, but it's very fitting now, unfortunately. Adam Carolla shows 659 featuring Jane Goodall. Because we played the entire episode before, we're just playing the interview with Jane this time. Alison Rosen and Brian Bishop joined Adam back in 2011. Well, Jane had some fun at Adam's expense.
Hello, Mr. Carolla. My name is Josh. I am from Pittsburgh. I wanted to let you know that the game that all the people play where you put your hands down and the other person flaps their hands and so on is called Hot Hands. It has a name, Hot Hands. Thank you. Leave us a message at 888-634-1744 and click the banner on adamcarolla.com or go to evoise.com slash adam for a free six-month trial.
Yeah, I was asking that game where you put your hands down and no kid is going to play this game ever again because now they're all playing Angry Birds. Right. But you just set those. You had to do things for road trips. You know, now everyone's just staring at the back of the headrest and they're looking at something in high definition. You had to look at license plates and punch each other.
Out of town play. Yeah, that hot hands. And I didn't know what it was called, but no one else did either. Oh, by the way, Jane Goodall is joining us. Who? That's bizarre. Somebody said, who's on the show tonight? And I thought I was going to say Dana Gould or Harlan Williams. Like, Jane Goodall. They're like, huh? Yeah. Yeah, you're highfalutin now. Jane, are you there?
I am here.

Chapter 2: What was the significance of the live event featuring Jane Goodall?
Trees, lights, and ornaments? Wayfair. Hosting must-haves like dining sets, beds, sheets, and towels? Wayfair. For everything in your style delivered with fast and free shipping, visit Wayfair.com or the Wayfair app to win the season. But again, it's not a competition.
Wayfair, every style, every home.
They're not jaguars.
Jags are in South America or Central America? South Central. All right. I figured that out. I just have the cars.
It doesn't matter. All right. Then you come up North in America and you get pumas or cougars or mountain lions. Yeah. Anyway, my closest call, you know, with the chimps, we have one chimpanzee called Frodo who's in this movie, Jane's Journey, and he's very big and he's a bully. And he likes to intimidate not only chimpanzees, but people too. And he is very intimidating.
And he likes to push you over, drag you, and stamp on you. And as he is like ten times stronger than me, this is not a very pleasant experience. Sure. He is not trying to really harm or hurt. Not like that sad thing that you mentioned earlier when the woman lost her face. This is just... You know, trying to show me who's boss, which is totally unnecessary because I know it.
Does he? Well, yeah, but you can't explain that to him when he's dragging you and stomping you. Would he be the alpha male of the group?
He was for a while. He's not anymore. He still even more perhaps likes to stomp around on people who are subordinate to him.
And as far as the personality range, do they seem to vary just as much as human beings do?

Chapter 3: How did Jane Goodall become involved with chimpanzees?
You have a community of about 50.
Like Hillary Clinton, they all are raised by like a village. What do they call it?
You have a community of 50. You have a group of males who are very well bonded with each other and they patrol the boundaries and protect the resources from neighbors.
Looking out for jaguars.
They actually move out in an aggressive way to enlarge their territory and attack their neighbors, which kind of sounds familiar, doesn't it?
Sure.
And then within the community, there are mothers and their families, sometimes getting together and traveling together, sometimes in big groups, but there are no lasting bonds between non-related adult males and females. Got to bring my wife out to that movie.
Explain to her how things work in the real world. Well, no.
You have females who are sexually receptive, mated by most or all of the adult males. Some are more sexually appealing than others.

Chapter 4: What insights does Jane Goodall provide about the behavior of chimpanzees?
I had no idea it was opening for Jon Stewart. It wasn't enough. And he's a fine actor. He's always nice to me, but... Well, I've not seen evidence of it. He's a good actor, though. Fine actor. Fine actor. Makes a lot of money. Did he have a good stand-up career? Not from where I was sitting. No. But I was confused more than anything. I didn't know what was going on. I mean, don't get me wrong.
I just stand around and tell stories, too. I'm not hilarious either. But stories have a beginning and an end.
Back to my question. Do you think that publicity was a thing where you want Pam Anderson to come to this roast? You better... hilarious roaster Pam Anderson or whoever, some A-list star, someone who's going to get eyeballs.
I really don't know how these things work. I know they have a few people that they go to. I know Comedy Central wants to promote their people because they want you to then watch their people on their network after the roast or the following week or whatever it is. So Comedy Central oftentimes has a vested interest on what personalities they put in.
Right, like they're developing a show with Anthony Jeselnik, and he was on there. They are. Well, there you go. So they'll go put him on, because it's not like America's, it's not like people are out front chanting Jeselnik. It's not America's clamoring for more Jeselnik, but they have a vested interest. Or maybe they got to know him through the roast.
I don't know, because he's done the roast before. But still, there's that relationship. Yeah, Greg Giraldo is missed. That's for damn sure. But good times. I watched my first episode. I busted my chariot of two and a half men. I watched the whole thing. And will you be tuning in next week? No, because it's a four-camera sitcom and who gives a shit? They just tell jokes.
And again, some better than others, but it's just jokes. Did you watch Two Broke Girls? I bet you didn't. I did. Did you like it? It's just the same thing. You've got the one chick who's the Deb, and she's from midtown. She's Blair. And then you have Joe.
And she works hard for a living, you know, and the other one, it's, you know, oh, what if we took Paris Hilton and put her together with some tough country chick who really knew, except for the country chicks hotter than she is. It's just she's a brunette, so she can't be. And it's all going to be jokes about how she doesn't understand how things work for poor people. And it's all good stuff.
You know, you don't see enough of any more people who are frumpy and wear glasses and then they take their glasses off and let their hair down and then they're hot. Yeah. Although I'm about to do it. Are you? Coincidentally, yeah. This is also going to be one of those sitcoms that somebody in two years mentions, and you go, oh, yeah. I remember those billboards.

Chapter 5: What Halloween memories does Ray share?
And when I went as Mr. T, I used a piece of charcoal or something on my face. I mean, I was a fucking mess, you know? Didn't you use, was it shoe polish? It wasn't shoe polish, though. Some kind of grease paint or something. I remember using, oh, I remember one of the things we did is I think we took like a newspaper, rolled it up and burnt it or something or stick. Smudged it on you?
Smudged that all over the place. Whatever. It was a horrible time. We're cleaning carpets. We're getting seven bucks an hour.
Chapter 6: What was the experience of cleaning carpets like?
Shittiest carpet cleaning gigs ever. And the only good time really is when you and I would head over to Hamburger Hamlet. Yeah. The one in Westwood? Yeah. Anyone. Tell people what you would do. How would it work, Ray?
Chapter 7: How did Ray's Halloween scare go wrong?
Well, I'd clean the carpet, ace fire up the grill. Yeah. Get it going. First thing we would do is search that place. You got me covered? Where's the food? Yeah, you're covered. The manager would give you the keys because you'd work all night. You'd have to work until like 4 a.m. And the manager wasn't going to sit there and watch you clean carpet till 4 a.m.
So we give you the keys and he'd give you the keys and tell you when you're done, throw the keys through the mail slot. That'll be it. We got it. By the way, we have taken a whiz or two through one of those mail slots. Yes. Not proud of that. Not after we clean the carpet. Just random yogurt. We pee in the carpet machines, too. Remember?
Chapter 8: What wild Halloween story does Spencer recount?
Oh, forgot about that. Point is this. We'd be left alone at the Hamburger Hamlet, and we would... Our boss would go, your employees bonded? Sure! Yeah. They're bonded. Let me put a Teflon treatment on the carpets. Ray's a whiz. We would, Ray would get the grill going. I think I would clean the carpet and you'd get the grill going. Yeah, you were a better cook. Yeah, I'd get those burgers going.
There's something about making your own burger in a deserted, huge kitchen. And then you'd flip up the tray and every accoutrement you could have right there. It's kind of like The Shining. You're in a huge, like, industrial-sized kitchen, and you're totally alone. And it's like 1.30 in the morning.
No business being there.
And it's Tuesday night, and Ray's buzzing away, and you're flipping burgers and putting guacamole and bacon and shit. What else do you want? And then the ice maker would make noise and scare the shit out of us. I'll tell you, it's weird and scary and spooky when you're in some of these places and it's two in the morning and it's deserted.
Like whatever city you're in, it's closed down and you're back in the kitchen. Something spooky and creepy about being in a kitchen of like whatever it is, like a Denny's or whatever, when you're the only person in there. And there's 10,000 square feet around you. And there's places that are so used to being alive, and then they're completely empty, like being in a stadium that's empty.
And then you walk to the back, and it smells all weird and greasy, and you're going to get a bucket of water, and the ice maker makes its own weird jolting sound. It sits dormant for like an hour, and then it goes, it just kicks on, and the ice starts moving, and you'll just be sitting there.
there jumping fucking jumping out of your skin like looking over your shoulders knives everywhere oh and then you grab the knife and you put it in your back pocket you grab the knife you start walking around clean doing whatever your job is with the knife in your pocket because you need to be prepared mind you have a better chance of falling on the knife and killing yourself
Yeah, so that was a shitty job, but Ray made the burgers. We do the Russian tea room. That had a bar. Yeah. That's where the booze started flowing. With the screen through it where you had to finger it up. You had to be kind of nimble.
Oh, to get at the booze. Yeah. You had to lock up the booze.
