Chapter 1: What holiday decorations do people love?

0.031 - 19.208 Unknown

Hey, what's up y'all? Kelly Clarkson with Wayfair. My favorite thing about the holidays? Decking out my whole house. It's not a competition, but if it was, well, I'd win the season with Wayfair. Outdoor inflatable Santa? Got it on Wayfair. Trees, lights, and ornaments? Wayfair. Hosting must-haves like dining sets, beds, sheets, and towels? Wayfair.

19.529 - 30.038 Unknown

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.

75.961 - 79.92 Superfan Giovanni

David Wilde, Alison Rosen, Brian Bishop from 2014. Check it out.

83.95 - 86.754 Adam Carolla

Good day, Alison Rosen. Hello, Adam Carolla.

86.954 - 91 David Wild

I love when you finger me in the doorway, lick my tight asshole, blah, blah, blah.

91.241 - 96.448 Superfan Giovanni

At Arison Lozen. Not the same person as Alison Rosen. Probably not, no. I wanted that on Twitter. It's such a fine line.

Chapter 2: What are the best moments from Corolla Classics?

134.98 - 153.964 Adam Carolla

Is John Mayer a douchebag or a great guy with an incredible sense of humor who bangs everything under 25 that's not nailed down? And I couldn't figure it out. But the more I saw him in his antics, the more I slid from douchebag over to funny guy.

0

154.685 - 155.466 David Wild

Backpedaling.

0

155.906 - 169.141 Adam Carolla

I did sit next to him at some Scleroderma Foundation fundraiser or something, and he seemed pretty friendly. Yeah. But no, admit it, he started off douchier and got more comical in the last few years.

0

169.161 - 189.201 Unknown

Okay, you don't know how... That's a very interesting answer because you and John agree. You're even closer than you think. The answer is, and this was last night he played the Beatles tribute, the Grammys Beatle tribute, which airs February 9th on CBS, 50 years on the same network to the day of the Ed Sullivan show the Beatles played on. So we did a big tribute with the Beatles last night.

0

189.341 - 211.19 Unknown

Amazing. John Mayer played with Keith Urban, and then Katy Perry was... And I know John pretty well for many years, but it was still a weird question to – I decided I have to get the answer, and he will know if he's a douchebag or if he's a cool guy. So what I did was – but I played it just well because I think he revealed the answer before I asked him the question.

212.131 - 233.747 Unknown

Katie was singing yesterday really well, and I said, John, let me ask you a question. You know Adam Carolla, right? He goes, oh, yeah, I love Adam Carolla. He's really funny. And I said, OK, right there. We got a first indication. I said, that said, Adam has said that when he gets to heaven, the question he needs to know is whether you're a douchebag or you're a good guy.

234.508 - 256.351 Unknown

And he said, I said, can I record your answer? He goes, no, I'm not that much of a douchebag that I want my answer recorded. He said, OK. I think that the true answer is good guy, but with a long incubation period as a douchebag. An unusually long, so that he feels he has come out of any douchebaggery into being a good guy.

256.552 - 261.521 Unknown

And I think he is a good guy because he, at least part of him, always loved you and loves your sense of humor.

261.622 - 265.95 Adam Carolla

Obviously. I've always said he was a genius. I never said. That was never in question. That was never in question.

Chapter 3: What insights does David Wild share about John Mayer?

308.102 - 309.825 David Wild

I've only heard tell of these stories.

0

309.805 - 328.708 Adam Carolla

They were fairly consistent and legendary. And everyone knew it, including me, firsthand. And I believe a man can make the pilgrimage from Asshole Valley to Mount Good Dude.

0

328.728 - 330.75 Superfan Giovanni

The apex of Mount Good Dude.

0

330.79 - 347.068 Adam Carolla

The apex of Mount Good Dude sounds very homoerotic. To me. So maybe there's something about 23-year-old guys who get way too much pussy and way too much money way too early that almost forces their douche hand.

0

347.791 - 351.119 David Wild

Like Justin Bieber is laying in the valley of douche.

351.219 - 355.77 Unknown

Yes, of douche, yeah. I don't think he's leaving that valley. I think he's a permanent resident.

355.87 - 382.263 Adam Carolla

Well, no, but then at some point when you get into your 30s, it starts to, do you know what I'm saying? It's sort of like ex-jocks. Once they retire, they're all really super cool guys. They were the worst guys in the league when they played. All the guys you see doing color analysts on ESPN and stuff like that were some of the biggest assholes in the world, and now they're all super cool dudes.

382.343 - 385.729 Superfan Giovanni

Yeah, I'm sure Collinsworth was a dick in the locker room, but now, I don't know.

385.709 - 393.681 David Wild

But he wouldn't let you record his answer. And I'm just wondering, is that up on the peak of good dude or is that a valley kind of answer?

Chapter 4: How does the conversation shift to the Beatles tribute?

546.281 - 547.543 Superfan Giovanni

Well, possible good could come of it.

0

548.03 - 567.169 Adam Carolla

Well, as a person who says a certain amount of things that are hurtful and does a certain amount of things that are charitable, the certain amount of things that are charitable are never discussed. I mean, it's never picked up upon. I mean, it's always funny to me and ironic that...

0

567.149 - 578.904 Adam Carolla

In some of the articles talking about what a prick I am or homophobic I am or whatever, they're using pictures from a charity that I put on for the Children's Hospital.

0

579.025 - 581.127 David Wild

A charity to end homosexuality?

0

581.147 - 585.954 Adam Carolla

That's right. I can do it through science. Through science. It's not just about praying anymore.

586.274 - 597.819 Unknown

It's good science. You were, by the way, our second choice after Queen Latifah to preside over the same-sex and homosexuality. Thank you. Non-same-sex weddings at the Grammys. You would have been, I think, perfect.

597.879 - 604.564 Adam Carolla

Thank you. Is Queen – we're trying to figure out Queen Latifah. Is she just sort of de facto out now? No.

606.198 - 624.22 Unknown

I don't think I could answer that for her. I don't think she's out. That makes me say no. I think – but she's – I have to say I've dealt with her for years. I just did that whole show with Davis Guggenheim with her for – spent a lot of time with her. She's great and she's – I mean I think the fact that she did it means she's cool. That was her – Such as her being herself.

624.58 - 637.116 Adam Carolla

I know. But what I'm saying is her doing that was sort of her sort of – saying, maybe if I'm not out, at least I got the fleshy part of my thigh sticking out of the closet.

Chapter 5: What insights does Kelley share about his wife's friend?

5166.438 - 5194.951 Adam Carolla

You got the sound effects down. A couple things. I had one of my wife's friends, Jody, who's... A straight shooter. She's a very attractive blonde, which makes it easier to shoot straight. Because people don't go, shut the fuck up and give me another beer. They just go, okay, no, I respect that. That's a good point.

0

5195.012 - 5196.113 Superfan Giovanni

It's a salient point.

0

5196.153 - 5206.309 Adam Carolla

Right. She's not mean about it. She's just one of these people that would go more sort of in an inquisitive way. Like, I feel like I would want to do it this way. That kind of thing. But not in a ditzy way. Just in a kind of...

0

5206.458 - 5207.28 David Wild

Attractive way.

0

5207.601 - 5224.889 Adam Carolla

Yeah. And in a way where you go, okay, she's sincere. She's comfortable. She watches Paul Newman documentary and she was like... You got to do something with this thing. You know, it's got to be. And I said, listen, you know, that's that's that's not up to me.

Chapter 6: How does Kelley compare romantic comedies and documentaries?

5224.909 - 5237.005 Adam Carolla

I make as good a movie as I can make. And then, you know, and then I said, look, I made the hammer. Everyone liked the hammer. It didn't do anything. I don't know how. And then she's like, this is better. This is so much better. And I was like.

0

5236.985 - 5238.747 David Wild

But this is actually good.

0

5238.827 - 5249.736 Adam Carolla

Yeah. And I was like, hold on. Thanks. I think I said romantic comedies. I got all defensive, you know, although she was saying my one thing was better. I don't know.

0

Chapter 7: What are the challenges of breaking up in relationships?

5249.776 - 5256.722 Adam Carolla

It's like saying, you know, your one twin is so, so much better looking or something. You're kind of like, well, at least you got one good looking twin.

0

5256.802 - 5258.003 David Wild

What are you talking about?

0

5258.023 - 5264.349 Adam Carolla

I was trying to explain to her. Romantic comedies are like one of the hardest art forms. They're almost all bad because they're hard.

0

5264.369 - 5265.81 David Wild

You're apologizing for it.

0

5265.79 - 5287.663 Adam Carolla

Yeah, I was saying – no, no. What I'm saying is you can't compare the two because it's really – doing a documentary about Paul Newman means, A, I'm doing a movie that stars Paul Newman whether he likes it or not. So I got Paul Newman and Robert Redford in this movie. My movie had me. You know what I'm saying? So that's number one. But number two, I've –

5289.128 - 5304.15 Adam Carolla

I don't know what the batting average on the average doc versus rom-com is, but the average doc for me is 81%, and the average rom-com is 28% on Rotten Tomatoes. It's almost inverse.

Chapter 8: How does the conversation shift towards parenting and relationships?

5304.13 - 5321.093 Adam Carolla

I do not see many docs that I don't like, and I don't see many rom-coms that I do like. And I told her, there's a reason. You have to write a script versus, hey, this already happened. And then B, you have to cast it right and blah, blah, blah. And then I threw my cape over my shoulder and stormed out of the room.

0

5321.073 - 5329.885 Superfan Giovanni

Plus the already happened thing, people don't choose to make documentaries generally out of boring subjects. Usually documentaries born out of, that's a great story. Someone's got to make a movie about that.

0

5330.226 - 5354.718 Adam Carolla

Yeah. And it's like I say when something good comes along, like Senna, for instance, was a great documentary. And everyone goes, and again, I sound like my mom here, but... They go, oh, it's a great documentary. And I go, you'd have to work really hard to fuck that up because this guy was great looking. He'd won his, I don't know, third F1 world championship.

0

5354.978 - 5370.638 Adam Carolla

There's all this footage of him going through the streets of Brazil and parties and he's dating Shushu, the hot blonde with the kids show, sending this super confusing message to eight-year-old Brazilians. I don't know what her name was. Shusha? Shushi?

0

5370.658 - 5371.92 David Wild

I want it to be Shushu.

5371.9 - 5373.702 Adam Carolla

It should be. We'll find her.

5374.203 - 5376.186 David Wild

Or Shusheen. All of them are good names.

5376.526 - 5392.487 Adam Carolla

You know, they talk about other countries where they drink earlier. I think they do everything earlier. Right. They get into ass earlier because, you know, like when we do a kid's show, it's like, hey, let's get a fat guy and put him in a purple dinosaur outfit. Yeah, right.

5392.507 - 5393.348 David Wild

Captain Kangaroo.
