Good day, Gina Grant. Good day to you. And bald Brian. Katie Kirk is in studio.
I'm afraid.
I'm in love with Katie Couric. I sat down for a while, about 40, 40, maybe almost an hour. And we did was interviewed for her program, which is America Inside Out with Katie Couric. It's a six part series and it's coming to Nat Geo. And that is on April 11th. So what I did will be featured, I think, in the sixth episode. also the podcast, the Katie Couric podcast, available now on Apple.

Chapter 2: What is the significance of Katie Couric's upcoming series?
No, no.
Damn it. It says it right on. That's what Wiki said.
But your dad was a teacher and your mom was on welfare and she got a degree in Chicano studies at Cal State Northridge. Damn you.
See, this is why she's got the Peabody's. I read that your dad was like a publicist.
No.
What was his title?
So my dad was a newspaper man, actually. He wrote for the Macon Telegraph. He covered politics for the Atlanta Constitution. He was the bureau chief of United Press. And I think, honestly, he had a hard time supporting a family of four kids on a newspaper man's salary. Before I was born, my parents and their then three children, because I'm the youngest of four, moved to Washington.
where my dad worked in public relations. Oh. And, you know, it was public relations, a little different. And then he also taught public relations at various colleges in the Washington, D.C. area, like the University of Maryland and American University. And my mom was primarily a homemaker who also volunteered at Planned Parenthood and worked in the gift department of Lord & Taylor.
But I always thought ā In a different era, my mom would be like a kick-ass stockbroker. I remember she bought a lot of Trojan stock when the AIDS crisis came to the forefront in the early 80s. She's very ā unfortunately, both my parents have passed away. But my mom was very, very savvy and quite ambitious for her children.

Chapter 3: How does emotional intelligence play a role in interviews?
He's the kind of guy you want to have a beer with. And it's like, it's kind of weird because... It's almost like saying, would your thoracic surgeon be the kind of guy you'd like to have a beer with or your accountant? Like you'd kind of like the best accountant, the best surgeon, the best, you know, sort of fill in the blank. And then guys that beers with those are guys that beers with.
I have those guys.
It is hard because there's so much pressure, I think, to be kind of affable and likable. And yet you have to be, you know, hopefully ā well, you don't have to be apparently, but imminently qualified, right? And so it is a very ā very tough thing, I think, for people to navigate. I agree with you.
I want a leader to be hyper-intelligent, experienced, cool under pressure, and have some humanity, right? But I don't want to necessarily have a beer with the president.
I really don't. Statistically, the chances of Most of us having a beer with that person are very low. Katie could definitely get a Chardonnay of Hill. Hillary was in there. But so since this thing's never going to happen, let's just have some sort of Elon Musk type or something. It's just incredibly smart and incredibly he or she great at their whatever and focus and let them do it.
So on the on the presidential thing, a lot of Oprah talk. These days, you must know Oprah.
I know her a little bit. I don't know her that well.
What any predictions?
I don't know. You know, I think probably. Gosh, I don't know. I mean, first and foremost, putting right that right out there. I have no idea. I can see why people would find her really appealing because I think celebrity has taken such an important role in our society. You ask college kids what they want to be or high school kids rather.

Chapter 4: What humorous fruit-themed band names are mentioned?
What a jam it would have been. I had no idea where that was going. You want to talk about a $13 smoothie? Right there. The concert would open with this. And it would be like, hello, where are the raspberries? Cranberries will be out after we play this song seven more times. Let's go. And then I look at the drummer and I go... Two, three, four.
Oh, man.
It makes you wonder, what other fruits were they contemplating?
Blueberries doesn't have a good ring to it. Kumquats. Kumquats.
But just any, the berry world.
Yeah.
You know, the Gordy Berries.
Oh, yeah.
Barry Gordy. Oh, the Barry Gordys, yeah. All right. Wild Cherry. Wild Cherry.

Chapter 5: How do personal experiences with Uber drivers impact the discussion?
Yeah. Wow. Yep. One big jam, but choose some music over here. Well, anyway, so my dream of the raspberries opening for the cranberries will never be realized. And she'll be missed.
You guys ever have a Lyft or an Uber driver that's really fun, plays the fun music, turns it up, and you're on the way home from dinner or the bar or whatever? Yep. You talk about the great magnet, you know, these coincidences that are ā they're coincidences, but it's kind of a weird coincidence.
Chrissy and I went out to dinner on Friday, had a fun Lyft driver on the way home, and he was cranking the 90s hits, and Zombie came on. And we're like, turn it up. Turn it up. When's the last time you heard Zombie? Right. And we rocked out to Zombie. And on the way home, we're like, oh, Cranberry's pretty great. And then here we go, 40 hours later.
It's nice to get reminded of a song that should be in your rotation of tunes.
I mean, I don't know more than the three we named, but she had a voice like- Unique voice. I put her in the Annie Lennox category of just like, there's only one of those pipes.
Yeah. I also have not shared the same fortune you have. I got picked up by Habib and he played soccer music.
But once at least. Have you had the fun driver? Not had. A couple of times I've been lucky enough to have. Have you had the Uber driver that's doing shady business but then wants to not act, but doesn't want to give any consideration to it and goes right back into trying to be an Uber driver where he's like, he'll pick up a phone and go, hello? I'll call you back. Tonight? I'll call you back.
Good.
By the way, I have fruit stripe or Bubblicious. And you're like, no, what was happening just now, though?

Chapter 6: What are the implications of Dennis Rodman's behavior on his neighborhood?
That's your laundry hamper. When you leave in the morning and you're an Uber driver and you're going to the airport and sometimes there's more than one person and sometimes they have bags and things, you may want to just throw that stuff in the garage before you head out. You're not allowed to be shocked. Who did the electric prune? What was the electric prune song? We'll see if we can find that.
Here is I Had Too Much to Dream last night. Oh, yeah. This song sounds like a parody of a 60s psycho electric anthem. These guys love their tremolo. You know, these guys are from Muncie, Indiana, and... One of them sold dental equipment or something before this, but when the Beatles hit with Sgt. Pepper and everything, someone went, you've got to change your sound.
It's our time.
Yes. Put these Nehru jackets on and get a Page Boy haircut. This is not the song you want the doctor to play before he gives you a prostate exam. No.
This has a very Waiting for Guffman vibe.
Yeah. Right.
You didn't have too much to drink last night.
I had too much to drink last night. Too much to drink. I'm not ready to face the light. I had too much to drink.
But you know what would be funny? If you saw these same guys in the 80s, they'd be dressed like MC Hammer, moving puffy pants.

Chapter 7: What issues arise from referee involvement in sports?
Why are the refs getting so involved with this? I hate that. I hate it, too. We're not there to see them. Well, first things first. You're not there to see them. Did it have anything to do with the outcome of the play?
The taunting? Absolutely not.
Yeah, well, could not.
And possibly not even the stupid leverage play.
Yeah, sorry. All right, so, RJ, we're disgusted. Well, listen, Adam, I'll be candid with you. You know, I'm a big fan of yours. I think you're distracting from the Adam Carolla jinx. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Right?

Chapter 8: How does the discussion shift to personal experiences with football?
Because when you ā is this the first Rams game you've gone to?
I went to a preseason game with my dad in 1974.
What?
And lo and behold, this great team loses at home. Yeah. Now the slide begins. The stink of corollas all over him. God. And your head and the best quarterback in the league gets pulled out of the game and the backup comes in and beats you at home.
I think you're sitting pretty at that point.
Yeah. All right. Sorry, RJ. No, I agree with you. I think the league, I think in general, they've got agendas beyond that individual game. But when you really care, and that's what's so tough, I think, quickly, about caring so much, right? Because it's one thing to say, all those people on Twitter are nuts, but you want them to care that much if you're the league.
That's the only way you'll spend that much money for jerseys and tickets. But when you care... and the calls seem to be capricious or unrelated to the game, it's very frustrating. I remember as if it was yesterday, I told you the guy, John Biggert, the guy I played with on my team, had a missing pinky.
You had to have that one kid in your school that had the missing finger with the story behind it. Always painful. It was never like, oh, what happened to your finger? Well, I fell asleep and an elf stole it. It's never that. It was always, I was wearing a ring and I hopped the fence and the ring got caught in it.
And it's like, how else is it going to... There is no... Of course, it's going to be gruesome. There is no story where a 13-year-old has their finger removed that ends with, my dad thought my right hand was heavy. So we went to one of the best hand surgeons in America. We wished it away. Yeah, there isn't.
