Clips from Loveline and the Adam Carolla Show that aired on KLSX from 2006 to 2009 that immediately preceded the podcast.

It's just a blog I use to update whenever I'm remastering these shows from the best quality files I can find. So if you want that stuff, it's out there, but can't play it in Corolla Classics. All right, let's get to the clips. Coming up first today, we have Adam Corolla Show 2219 featuring Warney Adams, Gina Grad, Brian Bishop from 2017.

131.065 - 133.988 Adam Carolla

Good day, Gina Grad. Good day to you. And ball, Brian.

137.107 - 138.359 Gina Grad

We were here on time.

Chapter 2: What insights are shared about Orny Adams' comedy?

748.813 - 770.983 Adam Carolla

You can't start a fire. Well, then what is this? And I know what it is. I know exactly what it is, but you can go ahead and tell us. Why is it, Gina Grad, why is it we're in California, we've invented third, maybe we're working on fourth-hand smoke. That's when you die, and the smoke that comes from the smoker's body to the people who are at the funeral.

0

771.003 - 791.251 Adam Carolla

Yeah, the pallbearers have to deal with that. Then I have to watch these goddamn commercials where the guy, well, he's smoking on the patio, but that... That smoke is traveling in and it's going through the conduit and it's going up the wall and it's coming out of the wall unit into the baby's crib. We invented this in California. It doesn't even exist and we invented this. This is an easy one.

0

791.652 - 820.38 Adam Carolla

This is a plume of rat crap in the air. It's a smokestack. The thing that's crazy about the leaf blower... is the thing that's making the pollutants is putting out pollutants itself. It's not just what's being sprayed into the air. It's a two-stroke motor strapped to the back of a guy, and that thing has no catalytic converter on it. That thing's just got black smoke pouring out of it.

0

820.681 - 844.246 Adam Carolla

That thing puts out more than a fleet of vans does. So the thing itself should be outlawed. Now, here's the deal. If I'm just driving down the street and I'm smoking a big fat cigar and I come pulling into the Whole Foods and I'm puffing away on my stogie and then a guy asks me for a light and I light up his Tipperillo and he's walking away.

0

844.727 - 863.811 Adam Carolla

And then I head down to the beach and I'm going to light a couple of bottle rockets from my Winston that's hanging out of my mouth. and we're in California and you have nothing to say about it, then fine. Then we're consistent. Then I get it. The leaf blowers can stay. I can smoke on the beach. It's all consistent. It's all very consistent. But we're not that way.

864.272 - 889.537 Adam Carolla

We have zero tolerance for anything to do with cigarettes or smoke or any pollutants of any kind, whether it be your vehicle or cigarette smoke. We don't allow vaping. But this, the greatest pollutant, neither here nor there. Not interesting. It should be super, super easy to regulate this because it's not like you can use one secretly, quietly, like out of the way of people.

889.597 - 893.261 Bald Bryan

By nature of what it is, it has to be in the middle of the street.

893.381 - 905.935 Adam Carolla

I sneak into Sonny's room every night about 2 a.m., light up a cigarette, blow smoke into his face quietly, and there's nothing the man can do about that. But this, this is a big kasha. This is the 4th of July. It also...

905.915 - 930.387 Adam Carolla

speaking of more pollutants the sound part how many people have been woken up taking a nap or whatever by this thing you can hear them coming down the street it'd be very hard for you to kind of bootleg this one because here are the rules you're loud as hell and you're standing in the middle of the street if you're really hard for long periods of time be very difficult for you to slide this one under the man's radar but go ahead and read some of that

Chapter 3: What are the implications of leaf blowers on health and the environment?

1808.795 - 1810.677 Joe Coy

No, no, I don't look like that.

0

1810.797 - 1816.705 Adam Carolla

I actually look a lot like... I'm picturing like James Brolin in his prime.

0

1816.725 - 1817.265

Oh, yeah, sure.

0

1817.466 - 1820.429 Adam Carolla

But with a big sort of gronk type, you know.

0

1820.469 - 1822.632

More of a man. A touch of Ivan Drago.

1823.052 - 1824.434 Adam Carolla

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Tight end.

1824.694 - 1824.975

Right.

1825.095 - 1846.208 Adam Carolla

Yeah. Possession, but breakaway speed. Yeah. Oops, wait a minute. Yeah, Ronnie. I'm here. We're all wrong about your stature? I think you are, dude. I sort of look like if you go back and think about the original Dukes of Hazzard. Uh-huh. And I look like that dude when he looked, you know, pretty good. Tom Wolpert. Oh.

1847.41 - 1849.433 Gina Grad

I wasn't picturing that either. Now we're talking.

Chapter 4: What humorous legal troubles are shared in this segment?

4460.144 - 4483.282 Adam Carolla

I mean, to me, it's sort of like. You're sitting around and, you know, they haul you into the precinct and they go, we got you got problems with the law and you go, what, what, what's happening here? Well, a lot of these guys around here, they killed their wife. One smothered her stepson with a pillow. But you, my friend, you blew through some four-way stop signs.

0

4483.663 - 4492.459 Adam Carolla

And you go, okay, but that's not as bad as this. Not anymore, but we just got another report. There was another four-way stop sign you went through a few months earlier.

0

4492.699 - 4493.02 Gina Grad

I'll pay a fine.

0

4493 - 4496.405 Adam Carolla

And they go, and you were doing 67 and 55.

0

Chapter 5: How do comedians compare their issues with serious crimes?

4497.006 - 4518.417 Adam Carolla

Did I murder somebody? And then they go, oh, we got another one. We got another one. We got another one. Yeah, but it's all just a bunch of misdemeanors where these guys are out committing capital murder over here. And then someone goes, oh, so you think breaking the law is a good thing? And you go, no, it's not a good thing. So would you like more people blow through stop signs? Like, no.

0

4518.918 - 4537.001 Adam Carolla

Well, would you like this person in charge or whatever? And it's like, whatever. I just don't want to lump him in. I don't even like Al Franken. I just don't want to lump him in with all the real criminals. I still haven't heard. I've heard a couple attempted kisses. And I've heard some butt cheek grabs.

0

4537.021 - 4542.252 Bald Bryan

At the state fair, which is, isn't that what goes on there? It's sacred.

0

4542.673 - 4544.537 Adam Carolla

It was at the butt squeezing booth.

0

Chapter 6: What insights are offered about societal standards and celebrity behavior?

4544.577 - 4546.08 Bald Bryan

Yeah, a pumpkin.

0

4546.14 - 4560.263 Adam Carolla

They have kissing booths. They have deep fried Snickers bars. And then something called the zipper booth. I mean, in terms of putting your body through it, the zipper and the deep fried Snickers bars doing a lot more damage than frankincense.

0

4560.503 - 4578.405 Gina Grad

Orny mentioned his first thought. My first thought was, like, why are the Democrats turning on him? My first thought was, of course, politically motivated. The Democrats are claiming, like, this moral high ground against the Roy Moores. Roy Moore specifically, you know, running as a child molester and trying to claim this moral high ground. If one of their own is doing some dalliances.

0

4578.425 - 4578.846 Bald Bryan

That's right.

0

4578.826 - 4593.01 Gina Grad

Now, strategically, it makes sense for them because if they can oust or Al Franken is ousted if he takes himself out, if they take him out, whatever it is, Minnesota, as I understand, is a pretty blue state. And he's very popular there. So it would not be a big effort for them to get a Democratic replacement elected.

4593.17 - 4609.614 Adam Carolla

That's the part where you get thrown out of the boat. It's just like we said we loved you for all these years, but we'll just get another Democrat in here, replace you. It's not going to. Not going to affect our ledger any. And yes, we can't make these cries of sexual misconduct as long as you guys are making cries about this.

4609.694 - 4614.881 Adam Carolla

And sorry, Al, even if it doesn't amount to much, you understand we've got to get rid of it. That's right. That's exactly what's happening.

4614.901 - 4632.663

Well, staying on that tip just a little, have two possible, well, one breakup and one makeup story. You remember we were talking about Billy Bush the other day? Yeah. Well, his road to redemption is chugging along. Just days ago, the former Today Show host hit the late show in his first public appearance since being fired and now comes... He's trying to fix his marriage.

4632.683 - 4650.963

Remember we talked about him getting broken up with. We did? Yep, that his wife was leaving him. According to page six, Billy and his estranged wife, Sydney Davis, are ready to patch things up. A source says they are trying to reconcile, and it seems like they're making progress. They're working on it. So the couple split in September after 20 years of marriage.

Chapter 7: What experiences shaped Phil Rosenthal's culinary journey?

8408.881 - 8431.398 Adam Carolla

I'm sure you can't die of carbon monoxide poisoning if the water heaters, if the flame blows out on the water, the pilot light or something, you'd probably just die in your sleep. But I had the water heater. I slept on the service porch. I had a water. I'll show you a picture of my room. You guys can all get your room. My room was a porch. My room was a goddamn service porch.

0

8431.578 - 8450.343 Adam Carolla

If you look up the ceiling or two by fours with just lighting, that's just like screwed onto the two by four. It's like when they make not even prison movies, but foreign prison. U.S. prisons don't they don't snoop that low. You got to go to somewhere in the eastern block. country to get to that, or Manila or something.

0

8450.363 - 8457.362

These are pictures of somebody who's been held captive for decades, and they've finally been rescued. Is this a still from the movie Room? Yes.

0

8457.382 - 8480.182 Adam Carolla

No, she had way more space than this. Let me just try to paint the picture. The room I lived in was a service porch that ended up getting sort of enclosed. The ceiling was just two by fours. And if you looked up, you just saw plywood. And here's a real classy thing. The nails popping through from the from from the tar paper that was laid down, the roofing nails poking through.

0

8480.663 - 8506.465 Adam Carolla

Now, I had a big back door for some stupid reason. It was a metal back door. And when and the picture you guys can see it, Adam Kroll dot com. It's a picture. The house is torn down now. All the shelves and books and junk that's in there now showed up after I cleared out of the room. My bed was in the right hand corner between the wall and the door, which left about 28 inches of space.

8506.525 - 8525.792 Adam Carolla

I had like a mattress. Also, no heat and no air. There was no vent. There was no heat and there was no. There was no vent. There was no anything. It was just a roof and a slab on the ground. And just windows and no insulation or anything. So it's like whatever the temperature was outside, if it was cold, it was cold.

Chapter 8: How do personal stories influence perspectives on privilege?

8525.812 - 8534.201 Adam Carolla

If it was hot, it was hot. No fans, no space heaters, no anything. Just sleep on a cot in this stupid room in the back.

0

8534.281 - 8536.624

I'm sorry, Adam. We can't hear you over your privilege.

0

8537.701 - 8560.384 Adam Carolla

I love it when people explain to me about my white privilege. That's my favorite part. The water heater, the washing machine, and the meter are all to the left. So the meter is like Beverly Hillbillies. No, no, like Green Acres. The meter guy would be like, come around the back door. The back door was tin. And he'd be like, hello?

0

8562.592 - 8583.683 Adam Carolla

I'd open the door, and the meter guy would walk into my bedroom, and then he'd open the closet, and the meter was against the wall because that used to be the back of the house. That was the outside of the house. Now, obviously, nobody pulled a permit or anything because you can't build a structure. You can't build your house around the meter. You have to relocate.

0

8584.344 - 8589.151 Adam Carolla

You have to pull a permit and move the meter. But, Adam, this is a form of abuse, correct?

8589.451 - 8590.793

Yeah. This is...

8591.33 - 8593.273 Adam Carolla

You could have called the cops.

8593.293 - 8594.775

You could have called child services.

8594.835 - 8613.679 Adam Carolla

We didn't have a phone. This definitely would have been on CNN for sure. It was awesome living in that shed back there. And yeah, whatever the temp was inside or outside is just whatever the temp was inside. And my sister's room was smaller.
