Chapter 1: What is the significance of the 17th anniversary of The Adam Carolla Show?
Welcome to Corolla Classics. I'm your host, superfan Giovanni. This is the podcast where we play the best moments, highlights, and fan-selected clips from all 17 years of The Adam Corolla Show. Today is officially the 17th anniversary of the first recording of The Adam Corolla Show. The 23rd being the first release date. With over 4,000 episodes and literally thousands of guests...
This is Adam Carolla's longest running job he's ever had, beyond construction, comedy traffic school, even his early improv days, even all of his jobs in radio, 10 years at Loveline, three years and two months at The Morning Show, his time on Kevin and Bean. This now exceeds all of it. To consume the entire Adam Carolla Show at 1x speed would take over 300 days of non-stop listening.

Chapter 2: What insights are shared about Adam Carolla's career and podcast history?
So things, State of the Union stuff, stuff to mop up from the vacation. I got notes all over the place. I have thoughts on things.
Oh, dear God.
Yeah. Okay.
Okay.
Big thing for me. Now, it's funny. So I used to go out with Danny Two Sheets, Uncle Buzzaboo, Danny Kellison, who was reminding me many years ago how we met when he was with Jon Stewart at the Weenie Roast, the K-Rock Weenie Roast. And it must have been 97. And he was walking around with Jon Stewart, and he ran into me and Jimmy, who was Jimmy the sports guy, and I was Mr. Burcham.
I was Adam from Loveline at that point. And we ran into Danny Two Sheets, who was working for Letterman, although he'd recently quit and come out here to do Rosie.
Yeah.
I'm just assuming this is playing in the background.
This is playing on the main stage.

Chapter 3: What tipping philosophies are debated during the episode?
I know because I did them all. Me and Drew did them. You have the mugs. Did them all. I did their shows. I did their test shows. Like, hey, we're going to do a test show. Get in there. Yeah. He went from, I think, Rosie to Vibe, but he went from Letterman, came out here to do Rosie, and then ended up doing Vibe. Chris Spencer. That's right.
Oh, Chris Spencer.
I know. He's just sort of, we need a black comedian to do Vibe. And I remember doing a test show, and I sort of said to Daniel, like... I don't think this guy's got it. Like, he was just really weak. Like, there's a thing, kind of like a football coach, where you go, well, that guy doesn't have the technique, but he's a specimen.
And I think with the right coaching and some snaps, he gets some snaps, he'll be coached up. Or then you see a guy who fires out, hits the blocking sled and falls back on his ass. And you go, I don't know how much coaching we're going to be able to do with that guy. Right. Chris Spencer, who I'd be curiousāI think history was probably right. Well, there's still time.
Yeah, I don't say the guy flamed out. It was a failure. I'm just saying, like, I didn't see the next Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy Fallon, Arsenio Hall. Like, I wasn't feeling it during the test shows. I was like, this guy does not seem sharp, does not seem on his game.
I've not heard the name.
It is one of theseāhe was aā Prominent enough stand up comedian to get the nod for when Quincy Jones and God knows who and Fox got together and go, we need a show called Vibe, the new late night. You know, we're going to launch this thing big. You can't just be a nobody. You have to be somebody. But I just wasn't feeling it. He was quickly replaced by Sinbad. And then Drew and I did Sinbad.
And that's where Sinbad's famous line, which I didn't stop and correct him on the air for. Sinbad is sitting there and he's going, oh, you and Dr. Drew, man, you're so different. So different. You're like heckle and jekle. And I thought, the two identical magpies? Wait, he wasn't talking with a sentence. Heckle and Jekyll and... I think he meant Dr. Jekyll, Mr. Hyde.
But Heckle and Jekyll seem to be two cockney... You're like Waldorf and Statler. There were a couple of crows, and they both spoke with a Cockney accent, I think, and they seemed to be pretty identical. But I didn't stop and correct him, and I don't think many of the Vibe audience members... We're going to throw a chair at him or yell anything.

Chapter 4: What does Ron Funches think about personal responsibility in life?
what I'm saying.
My whole thing is like this. But if I recognize you, I go, oh, I'm serving Adam Carolla. I would be like, he's an okay guy.
Fine. Go make your fucking life right. Don't worry about Adam Carolla coming to your restaurant once a lifetime to try to make things fit in your life. That's my thing. You fucked up your own life. I'm not going to make it right.
Chapter 5: How does the discussion shift to the importance of good customer service?
I'll make it even. I'll give you scale, but I'm not going to make it right.
I feel the same way.
That we can agree on. Okay. And also, I'll give you a little incentive to work on your fucking life. You won't get rich bringing me shit. How about that? I'm telling you, the reason these guys are in their 40s and doing what they're doing is because they're overcompensated.
But I like that.
Chapter 6: What insights does Gary Sinise share about his experiences and the military?
Like when you go to Europe and you see like waiters and stuff and they're super old and they're just and they are paid well. And the service just shows. I think one of the reasons why customer service is so fucking shitty in America is that we have just underpaid kids there who are who are exactly like, I need to get my life together. I hate it here.
So they don't they don't care if your drinks mess up or whatever.
what your order is right you know when you get really good customer service in this country you you remember it because it's rare you know that was one of my jobs my first one of my first jobs I worked as a cashier and I just good at talking to people so I would have lines down the store five six people deep and there'd be an open register and they just like nah I'd rather talk to this guy which sucked for me because it made me work harder
yeah what was the job just you know bagging groceries putting things across scanning things chatting with people that's it i love the notion that daniel daniel's the socialist and he's fucking in santa monica right now taking a hot yoga class and i'm in glendale doing a my third fucking podcast today and he's like hey buddy let's spread it around like yeah all right it's Spread it around.
You don't get it. How about this? I'll do a fucking yoga class.
You come in here and do this. You're shoveling fucking coal, man. You're talking into a microphone. Fuck that.
Fuck all that. All this fucking, he works hard, she works hard. Fuck that. I work fucking hard my whole fucking life.
We all work hard.
I killed myself of bullshit. You don't think I work harder than you? I don't even give a shit. I don't give a shit. Listen, here's one thing I do know. I worked harder than anybody you fucking know ever from age 19 to age 30. There's nobody you know who worked harder than me because I literally dug ditches. I dug ditches for 55 hours to 60 hours a week, and that's all I did.

Chapter 7: What are Gary Sinise's thoughts on military volunteers?
And someone said, no, no, come home. I might go, no, I want to be here with my brothers doing what I signed up to do. Gary, I think you'll have thoughts on that. And tell me what your assessment is of the average folks in the military who have volunteered. I'll let you steep on that for a second. First, I'll tell you about LifeLock. Experts say top cybersecurity predictions, 2019.
Ransomware is going to taper off, but cryptojacking and other money-making schemes will increase. Government regulations and public sentiment on privacy will drive stronger data protection policies, more nation-state attacks and surveillance of individuals.
Good thing LifeLock Identity Theft Protection adds the power of Norton Security to help protect against threats to your devices that you can't easily see or fix on your own. It's 2000. What'd I say? Almost 20 people. Let's go. Let's get some identity theft protection. If there's a problem, their agents will work to fix it. But you won't have a problem because you'll have LifeLock. Right, Dawson?
No one can prevent all identity theft or cybercrime or monitor transactions at all businesses. But LifeLock with Norton Security can see threats you might miss on your own.

Phil the Labrador's in studio today because it's Rob at the other shop's last day. He's moving to Florida to purchase a home with his fiancƩe.
Is he taking Phil?
No, but he brought us Phil and Phil was his dog and he's in love with Phil. So I told him I will definitely bring Phil over so that you can say bye. It's going to be a very weird, sad meeting of Rob and Phil. And I don't obviously. I feel like Phil knows what's going on. It's not goodbye, it's good journey. I hate those people.
Yeah, Phil's clearly all broken up about it right now.
Do you think he knows what part of Florida he's moving to or he's just going to Florida? Would it be in Dade County? I was talking to Rob on Saturday. He was getting a little choked up. He was getting a little choked up about Rob. I will leave them alone.

Chapter 8: What insights does Gary Sinise provide about the military experience?
But people continue to sign up for the infantry, continue to want to fight. If you don't want to do that, you wouldn't sign up. Well, it sort of strikes me that there's a balance, obviously, between putting your life in harm's way and being at a cocktail party 17 years later and going, I was in the military. Oh, what'd you do? I would clean the trays that they served lunch on. Like, oh, yeah?
Where were you? I was in North Carolina. Like, everyone kind of goes... Oh, there you go. Versus I was in the second helicopter when we went over the wall at Bin Laden's place. Like now that's a oh, that's a different story for a lot of people. So I imagine if you're of the mindset to sign up for this, you do. Want to have those stories. You do want to say I was in it. I was in the battle.
I was a part of it. Now, not everyone wants to go out searching for landmines and flip flops and a broomstick. But I mean, I think. It attracts people who go, I want to be there. I want the action. Well, sure. I mean the Marines are a different branch than the Air Force. I mean everybody has a different specific calling.
But I would say with regards to the guys that clean the trays, everybody would say that every single job in the military means something. If you have ā If you have dirty trays and bad food someplace, you're going to have a lot of people that aren't happy. I just mean when you're trying to get laid at a party.
Don't worry.
I'm a grateful American. I'm just thinking about this guy trying to get laid, saying he was in SEAL Team 6 rather than working one of the main dishwashers. That's all. I get it. I'm thinking of him. Do you understand? I get it. Sure. And everybody's in SEAL Team 6 now. I know. The team. Yeah. It's a good team to be in. All right. We got other cars, by the way.
How many people they expect to attend Barrett-Jackson this year? I'm still trying to find that out. They're going to have 1,700 vehicles. Larry Fitzgerald is bringing a car out there for auction. Three cars. Three cars, fool. What? Three cars? Three cars. 6.8 Chevelle, 7.0 Plymouth Cuda, and a 6.8 Charger.
Ooh.
He's one of the good guys in the NFL, I'll tell you what. And I say quietly just because he's sort of quiet, but going about breaking every record and being dominant for so many years. So he's bringing out a bunch of cars. And, again, Gary will be there. So what will happen is they'll talk up the car. You'll be up on stage. They'll have the cameras and everything.
