Live from the Americana in Glendale, this is the Adam Carolla Show. Today, Adam sits down with Rick Caruso. And now, the Grove is also what his barber calls his Brillo hair. Adam Carolla. Adam Carolla. the carpet, he's going to be pissed. So I just want to... I use those words, too. He's very clean. He said muss up, but I wanted to drive his point home, so I used a little profanity. Thank you guys for coming out tonight. Rick is a guy I admired from afar from quite some time, and now I get to do it in a much closer proximity.
What solutions does Caruso propose for LA's homelessness crisis?
So I've always been a fan of Rick and his work and his process and what he's trying to do and what I still think he can do here in LA and possibly even in California. And I've, yes.
Yes.
Yeah, we did a little poll. It's a partisan crowd, but I'm just a big fan of this guy, and I'm so glad that I've had an opportunity just to get to know him a little bit, and he's even better than I could have imagined. So thanks for doing this tonight, Rick. Thank you, Adam. Thanks for having me. And thank you, everybody, for being here. I really appreciate it. Just so you know, parking rates went up 500%, so on your way out... Yeah, so we'll take some questions from the audience at some point. I thought we'd chat a little with Rick before that, and then we'll, again, take your questions. I think Alicia will run around with a microphone and we can get into that. But I'm curious.
How does Caruso plan to address accountability in local government?
So, Rick, you and I may be one of the few people that were sort of born and bred here in Los Angeles. Almost everyone I know seems to be from somewhere else. But you're out here day one. Day one. Raised in West L.A. My parents, my dad was actually born in Uniontown, Pennsylvania. My grandparents on both sides were immigrants, came through Ellis Island. My paternal grandfather ended up in Uniontown as a coal miner, and my dad was actually born in the coal mining camp. And his family finally convinced them to move to the West Coast, and he moved to Boyle Heights and became a gardener. But, yeah, me and my sister and my brother were all raised here. Yeah, when you have black lung at age eight, it's not a good sign.
Well, and also, he was the dynamiter. Your grandfather was the dynamiter. Which is never a long-term career path, you know. Being the first guy in and having to get the heck out.
What role does Caruso believe public service should play in community development?
The dynamiter is like right up there with the king's food tester. It's just not a job where you retire. But that plunger thing, man, that's the greatest job ever. And then, of course, when the fat guy sits on it by mistake, hijinks ensue. So your grandfather was working the mines, Pennsylvania, and you came out here, your dad came out here as a young man and was a gardener.
