Chapter 5: How does Neal view the impact of COVID on his career and family?

159.561 - 190.84 Adam Carolla

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.

Chapter 6: What does Neal McDonough believe is essential for parenting?

191.521 - 218.461 Adam Carolla

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.

219.082 - 235.205 Adam Carolla

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.

Chapter 7: How does Neal define success in his life and career?

235.265 - 252.602 Adam Carolla

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.

252.582 - 268.779 Adam Carolla

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.

Chapter 8: What upcoming projects does Neal McDonough discuss?

269.821 - 280.523 Adam Carolla

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.

280.643 - 281.465 Unknown

A carafe?

0

281.745 - 293.842 Adam Carolla

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.

294.343 - 297.246 Unknown

I trust – You're not uncorking a crystalline top?

0

297.346 - 316.888 Adam Carolla

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.

317.009 - 339.699 Adam Carolla

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. You know what I mean? You go pour yourself a cocktail. And then we call the secretary in again. She turns around again so we can get a look at her. See ya, toots. See ya, toots. And that's how guys who ripped off people rolled.

339.8 - 359.639 Adam Carolla

Now, what they did, too, is they would go in and they'd go. I made the Dakota tribe a lot of promises of never going to – I got them to sign over their drilling rights to me, and I'm throwing them all off their land, and I sold it to Exxon, and I'm going to come in there, and I'm going to drill.

359.839 - 382.86 Adam Carolla

Or I'm doing some opal mining, and I need uranium, and I'm just going to strip mine the entire – their indigenous land, their heritage. I'm stripping. We're putting a mine in. Because I'm raping the land. Burial sites be damned. Be damned. I am raping the land, and I'm getting paid, and I got my fat cat senators in Washington that have got my back.

383.301 - 397.04 Adam Carolla

And that's how ripping off people in the government went. Back in the good old days. Well, somebody figured out that these guys are too easily spotted now, and it's too easy.
