sliding into a super set of the hits that radio forgotten sifting through the bottom of the toolbox to pull out this one. Let's face it. Everybody owns ZEP four and no one is racing home to play stairway to heaven. So we dig deep while the others sleep going where no station dares to go inside your favorite albums for a deep track delivered to distract from the rage of the modern age.
As Marianne Williamson says, it's all about love, folks. So let's make that tumbleweed connection and name all of our daughters Amarina.
Others may have forgotten, but we remember love on the toolbox. Running through the grass for hours. Rolling through the hay. Like a puppet child. And when it rains, the rain falls down. Washing out the cattle town. And she dreams of crystal strings of days gone by when we would leave laughing.
From Corolla One Studios in Glendale, California, this is the Adam Corolla Show. Adam's guest today, Nicolas Cage. With Gina Grad on news, Paul Bryan on sound effects. We'll play a round of the Rotten Tomatoes game. And Dave Damoshek's here for good sports. And now, a man who's spent more time studying face-off and con air than some rabbis have spent studying the Torah. Adam Carolla.
Yeah, get it on. Got to get it on. No choice but to get on Mandate. Get it on. Thanks for tuning in. Thanks for sharing. I love when you share the show with a co-worker, a loved one. I love when I go to the live shows and the father and the son come in or the mother and the daughter frequently, actually, and they say, I got my mom into it or vice versa.

Chapter 2: What are the highlights of the Adam Carolla Show featuring Nicolas Cage?
So good on you and good day, Gina Grad. Good day to you. Handball, Brian. Don't worry, I can talk. All right, Nick Cage going to be phoning in in a couple of few. And yes, I have seen The Rock many times. I've seen Con Air many, many times.
You going to take a deep dive with Nick?
Ghost Rider I've seen many times. Gina expresses befuddlement at The Rock. Of those types of movies, The Rock is excellent. For that genre, The Rock is towards the top. It is noted. Of those type of movies. Big action movies of that era. And we have a list of Nick Cage's big ones here. But, of course, not on the list, I don't believe, is Raising Arizona, which is his best.
It's hard to say what his best is, but that's a groundbreaking movie. Absolutely. absolutely groundbreaking i mean um coen brothers and i was just watching that i was watching like uh casting uh randall tex cobb in that scene when he's going in and talking to uh nathan to senior whatever yeah yeah and i just love that i love all those uh Exchanges, where are you going to go?
The FBI goes to the guy who runs the place and goes, any disgruntled employees? And he goes, hell yeah, they're all disgruntled. I'm not running a daisy farm. Of course, they're all disgruntled. Yeah, they're all disgruntled.
Would you buy furniture from a place called Unpainted Huffhines?
Yeah, Randall Tex Cobb going in there and just sitting down, smoking a cigar, grabbing the fly off the guy's nose.
He was especially cruel to the little things.
Oh, God. The flower bursting into flames when he drives past it. Bunnies. That movie, man. What a mix. What an artistic endeavor. Yeah. Early in their career, too, the Combras, I think they had one or two movies at that point.

Chapter 3: What insights does Nicolas Cage share about his film career?
Because that's what Natalia does. And no one else does that. Everyone else presses it once. And then like a human being, they wait for you. Patiently waits. But not Natalia. She hits it again three seconds later. If you were running, coincidentally, if you were sprinting toward the front door, coincidentally, just like I'm racing to the front door. Doing my laps.
You still wouldn't make it before she hit it again. after she hit it the first time. But that's how I know because of the pattern. And so I was looking up at a freeway sign, I was driving into whatever morning, whatever, whatever. And I just like, there was like a truck in front of me or something.
And I spotted the top of one of our electronic freeway signs in LA, which my beef with LA in a town with the worst traffic in the world and the longest commutes in the world, Every single sign just reads, slow it down. It's slow for the cone zone, slow for the workers. Click it or take it. It's safety or slow. They have two modes, safety or slow. There is no you can turn right on a red.
There is no move over and let people pass you in the left lane. There's no way. It's all slow it down. which is a bizarre pitch in a town with the worst traffic and the longest commutes. Bring it down. It's like if a guy was high on quaaludes and ether and you walked in and just went, hey, bring it down a notch, dude. Grab a chair. Yeah, spread out. Slow it down.
Relax.
No, we're already ground to a halt. It's a little taunting. I saw a I saw the top of the electronic freeway sign as I glanced up and it just said it said move over. And I thought. Could they be saying move over if someone ā like when you're in the left lane or there's faster traffic behind you or make room?
Like for one fleeting moment, might we be talking about moving ā hey, when you're in that left lane and someone's moving, move it on over and let them by. So I was like, holy dear God Christ. First off, the Ruskies have hacked into the system. This isn't something our fucking pussy mayor would ever write or anyone I've ever known would ever put on this goddamn thing.
And it said move over and then it ā Then the truck kind of passed, and it said, for construction... It says move over or slow for construction. Yeah, then slow down. I was like, okay, all is right. All back on track. All is right in the universe. They're telling us to slow down. I've never seen anything saying anything about...
Speeding up or efficiency or get it going or pull it over when you get no fender better. There's nothing involving movement. It's all retardation, not advancement. Retard. Retard. I can legally say retard. All right. Yes. It's a perfect microcosm of L.A. and how they screw everything up that could be. They have this infrastructure, right? These signs are everywhere.

Chapter 4: How does Nicolas Cage feel about the evolution of film and television?
He was, and the other thing that's really remarkable is that Newman's own, that brand, he gave all that to charity, so that's And that's about as good as it gets. I'd say it's a pretty good legacy. And I actually made a doc called Winning the Racing Life of Paul Newman that you can look up if you like, and it covers that entire world. I would like that. Well, watch it.
I think you don't have to leave the house. You don't have to put on the sunglasses and the cabbie hat. I'll enjoy the air con in the movie. Score to Settle in theaters, and it's also available on VOD as well. Nick Cage, honestly, I'm out in Glendale, and if you want to come by and, I don't know, bring your boy, bring West in. I'll bring Terry Claiborne.
We can have a reunion, and you can look at a whole bunch of Paul Newman race cars. That'd be fun.
Oh. Oh, I would love that. Do you have a GT, the old GT40 with the golf colors?
I have, which, by the way... This whole building's painted like that. The building we're in right now is painted like the golf livery of the GT40s that won in the late 60s at Le Mans. I know Ford v. Ferrari movie coming out with Matt Damon and Christian Bale in it. I don't know if you're excited... about that as well. Yeah, very much so.
Also made a doc called The 24-Hour War, which is all about that. And no, I don't have a GT40. I do have Newman's Porsche 935 that he won Le Mans in about 10 years later. Oh, my God, I loved that car. What was it, the K? 935K, was it called? Kremmer, K. Yes, the K. I had one of those, and I raced it out at Willow Springs. That was an absolute... I had it in a Lone Brow Fuller's.
That was one of my favorite cars I've ever driven. I really wish I still had it. You had a Kremmer 935? Yeah, in the low and brow colors. It was light blue, too, and oh, my God. You know, I described the car as a pussycat when I sold it because it was so easy to drive, and yet it was a monster. But it was like you became one with the machine. You were a cyborg.
It did everything you wanted it to do. And you never felt like you were in danger. I have Newman's 935 that he ran at Le Mans in 1979. He came in second overall, first in the GT class, second to a Kremmer K935 driven by the Whittington brothers from 1980. And I'm taking this thing to Laguna Seca in two weeks for the Monterey Rolex Historics and racing it. So... If you want to come by the track.
Please. Yeah, I know. That sounds great. I'd love to see that car again. Great car. I'm not surprised you wanted that. You should have hung on to your Kramer 935K because I think those things are kind of expensive now. Well, cool. I'd love to see your cars, man. I really enjoy a conversation. And I also will say to Weston, I'll talk about it with Terry Claiborne and all that.

Chapter 5: What themes are explored regarding focus and health issues?
It makes you realize, like, yes, if there was enough attention focused on any one thing, any one thing could be eradicated or at least addressed in a realistic way. A meaningful, yeah. I agree with you.
I've sort of brought this up in front of Drew a time or two, and they usually give you a good reason as to why that one thing is different than the other thing and why you can attack certain things and eradicate them and why others are much more difficult. So I wish it was as satisfying as just go, well, just take the same focus and the same money and put it on ALS and let's get rid of that.
Drew would probably tell you why that wouldn't work, but... AIDS was considered a death sentence.
Chapter 6: How do societal perceptions of illness impact funding for research?
You get it, you die. That's it. It was. It's a chronic condition. That's right.
Well, if Meghan Markle and Prince Harry were following you on Instagram, we have bad news. They're not following you anymore. But there's a way to get them back. In an Instagram post, Meghan and Harry explained that they want their followers to nominate, quote, your force for change for a chance to earn a follow from their Sussex Royal account.
The royals say each month they'll change the accounts they follow to highlight various causes, people and organizations doing amazing things. Hold on. Yes.
I got thoughts.
Mm hmm.
I'm picturing the, like, what is it, the, oh, God, what was all the thing going on? Like, just be calm and whatever.
Keep calm and carry on.
Keep calm and carry on and stuff.

Chapter 7: What is the significance of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's social media initiative?
I've been noticing kind of the royal colors, ironically, kind of a royal blue and white. Feel like that's the color scheme. The thing we're looking at is a blue with a white. Yeah. Bucko, it's called British racing green for a goddamn reason. That is their color is green. Their color is green. That's their color. Start using that E type color. That's right.
Different countries have different colors. You know who's blue and white? Goddamn United States. Shelby America. You look at all the Shelby race cars from the 60s, it's blue and white. Yellow? France? Because they're cowards. They got little bellies. They know it.
Chapter 8: What insights does Ken Burns provide about documentary filmmaking?
They knew what color to pick. No one assigned them that color. We didn't have an old-time miner show up and go, you folks should yell her. We know. We know. We know. We know. They assign themselves yellow. Germany, silver. Italian, red. Red, sure. Okay. Those are their colors. It's interesting that... Oh, shit. Is France... God damn it. Is France light blue or is it yellow?
Is it yellow Brazil or something like that? Anyway, the point is this. I like the joke of being yellow. We'll stick with that. British racing... What's the color of the flag? God damn... I'm not asking what the colors of flags are. The British racing green. It's British. That's the goddamn. Bentley is green. Jag is green. Aston Martin. That's their goddamn color.
So listen, Prince over here and the popper and whoever's doing this. Go to green. That's your color. Then maybe white and blue. Show me a Max Paddock. Show me a 65 Shelby Mustang and you shall see a white car with a blue stripe on it. Those are American racing colors. Those are the colors we race. Sorry. How dare they? Yeah. I'm sure many podcasts are upset about this as well.
France has that light blue. Damn it. Damn it. Who's yellow then? Brazil? Find me yellow. I got to know who yellow is. Probably another cowardly country. Probably more cowardly than France even. Probably had no resistance. Yes.
So you don't even want to be a force for change until they change these colors up.
My force for change is you change your color to British racing green on your website and then I shall join you. Until then, we're not having a conversation. Bugger off. Bugger off.
So over the past 20 years or so, more parents all over the world are waiting to have kids to a later age. And with this trend, a Dutch study conducted across multiple universities set out to examine behavior patterns among kids who are born to older parents.
And research discovered that children born to these older parents tend to have less external behavior issues like aggression and disobedience. They're often more well-behaved.
Yellow is Belgium, Spain and Sweden, those cowardly countries. Oh, yeah, of course. A study conducted in the Bishop household says this is a total BS.
