From Corolla One Studios in Glendale, California, this is The Adam Corolla Show. Adam's guest today, actor Neil McDonough.
What challenges does Neal discuss regarding Hollywood culture?
And the news with Jason Mayhem Miller. And now, Adam Corolla. Yeah, get it on. Got to get it on. Get it on. Mayhem Miller is in studio. Get it on. He's going to be doing some news. I got stuff to talk about before that, which is how I roll. All right.
How does Neal view the impact of COVID on his career and family?
Let's see. First off, a story we didn't get to yesterday, which is a guy out of L.A. embezzled $23 million. By the way, he's feeding the kids, taking care of the kids, never doing anything with the kids. Also, always... Always the name. It's called Abundant Blessings, right? Dead giveaway. Let me explain how our society has evolved. Okay.
What does Neal McDonough believe is essential for parenting?
There was always something called graft, and there's always such a thing as lying and officials getting paid and kickbacks and paybacks and all that kind of stuff, right? And that was the dominion of Rich Whitey. And every movie I ever saw when someone was ripping off somebody else, it was some red-haired oil executive, fat white guy, smoking a cigar, and he had a pinky ring. And you could see these guys coming from a mile away because they looked the part. Mustachioed? Sometimes balding. Sometimes balding. There were never waif models. There were never spindly. They didn't look like Gandhi.
How does Neal define success in his life and career?
They were big because they were fat cats. Well fed. They were eaten at the trough of humanity for way too long. So part of it is you had to physically look full all the time because you're constantly eating while people are going to bed hungry, right? Pork barrel chested. That's right. And they had, like, a Nugget gold watch, and they smoked cigars, and they would always kind of come on to their secretary. Like, they'd push a buzzer on their deck. Yeah. Ann Marie, you're looking good today.
What upcoming projects does Neal McDonough discuss?
Turn around. Let me get a look at you. Not too bad. And they did a lot of day drinking, but they didn't drink from the bottle that the booze came in. They put them in a glass decanter.
A carafe?
Yes. Oh, hey, decanter. Decanter. They take this glass bottle. So here's what you do. Let me tell you how I drink. I drink – I pour it out of the bottle it came in.
I trust – You're not uncorking a crystalline top?
Right. I trust the Jack Daniel Company and all the other – and Stolle and everyone else to bottle their own booze, and then I just dump it right from the bottle. I don't do what they did in the 80s limousine thing where they had that weird glass thing with the weird cork on the top. But anyway – You're lighting a cigar with a hundy? You do that. You pour all your booze into one of those glass decanters. And then you could come in for a meeting for me at 1045 in the morning. I'd be like, Scotch, don't mind if I do.
