From Corolla One Studios in Glendale, California, this is The Adam Corolla Show. Adam's guest today, Sam Tripoli. Plus the news with Alicia Krauss. And now, Sam can use the tin foil from his hat for Thanksgiving leftovers. Adam Carolla. Yeah, get it on. Got to get it on the trusses and the mayonnaise. You get it on. Sam Tripoli in the studio. Good to see you, my friend.
Always a pleasure, brother. Thanks for having me. Now, it's funny. You came in with a theme, and the theme was not so young anymore, feeling a little old, feeling my age, feeling a little beaten up, can't do the stuff I used to do. And I had a long conversation with Dr. Drew about this. on the phone, on the ride in, and then I just got done doing shit I'm too old to do, and now I'm beat up.
So here we are. I got a rowing machine, and everyone's like, rowing's great. So I did 10 minutes, and I'm like, ah, I didn't feel anything. Then I did 20 minutes. I'm like, that's not that bad. So then the next night, I'm like, you know, I'm going to try 30, and dude, I'm wrecked right now. Back's jacked, legs burning. I'm just walking wounded.
Now, it's so funny what your body's used to and what it's not used to, because I do row, and I'm fine with it. But the other shit I try to do, that's when I feel it. And so it was an interesting philosophical conversation I was having with Dr. Drew.
I hopped on a dirt bike, which is something I hadn't done in... You know, it's weird, too, when you get old, you go, man, I haven't been on a dirt bike in 25 years. And then you go... Anyway, not 25 years. I was 22 when I jumped on a dirt bike. It was a while ago. And I went out trail riding, and I was fine. I hadn't been on a bike physically. And because I'm me, I just go, fuck this.

Chapter 2: How do Sam Tripoli and Adam Carolla feel about aging?
And I'm like, I'm like, God damn, like my hips bad, my elbow hurt. And I'm trying to fold myself to get inside this miniature car with the roll cage. And, and I'm, Trying to put my elbow on the roll cage to push myself in stuff, but I'm so fucked up. But I can't tell them I'm no good to drive because they rented the track and brought the car from 100 miles away. You're like James Bond, dude.
You're doing motorcycles, race cars. You're banged up, dude. Oh, my God. There's nothing more painful than waking up the next morning after a motorcycle ding and trying to stuff yourself into a miniature race car with roll bars everywhere. Like, I've never been in it before either, so I don't know if I put my feet in for it. But I just climb along, and I'm like... Oh, my elbow. Oh.
But even if you weren't banged up, that seems like you're trying to get into a clown car at that point. It's like really small. Paul was a little guy, and all race cars have roll cages, and there's not like a swinging door on the roll cage. You crawl into a cage. Now, eventually, you learn the car, and when you learn the car, then you kind of learn—
Oh, I'll get in foot first, or I'll get in head first, or I'll put my helmet on after I get out. You're a big dude, man. I mean, you're pretty tall. It was un-goddamn comfortable. But anyway. It looks like you're getting in a car you bought your kids. It was a Paul Newman 308 Ferrari. Very rare. Took it for some hot laps. Blah, blah, blah.
But by the end of the day, they were like, you want to get in the Lamborghini? I was like, you got any tile at all? Yeah. So I'm talking to Dr. Drew. So here's here's my question for you, because I think this is going to resonate with you. I Dr. Drew was lamenting that he can't do the shit he used to do and that.
He really wants to do the shit he did when he was young, but he cannot do it anymore. Like it hurts. And I'm like, well, this is good timing because I was just on a motorcycle and I just dumped it. And that would fall under the heading of shit I can't really do anymore. Right. So. I said to him, I go, you know, I've always, I said this to Drew, but he never really listened.
But this time it makes, it's made sense.

Chapter 3: What experiences does Sam share about getting older?
I said, he said, it's such a bummer not being able to do the stuff I used to do. And I said, you know, my dad never did anything. So getting old for him was no big deal. And so I said, when my dad was 80 years, He was sitting on a sofa with a trumpet next to him reading a book. And I can picture him at age 38 sitting on a sofa with a book and his trumpet.
And when your hobbies are reading and walking, then there is no depreciation between 40 and 80. My dad was 80. You got to hold my dad when he's 80 and say, what are you up to today, Jim? He'd be like, going for a walk. I'm going to go home and read. Got my trumpet. That's it.
But there's no snowboarding, and there's no fucking and fighting, and there's no motorcycle riding, and there's no whatever it is you're not going to be able to do anymore. He never did it. So there isn't a depreciation, and it's kind of weird. It wasn't even like, oh, man, back in the day, man, I could go all night. Now, a couple of beers, and I feel it the next day. He didn't drink.
He didn't fuck. He didn't fight. He didn't eat meat. He didn't eat steak.
Yeah.
His life at 80 was the same as it was at 40. Simple. Right. I was saying to Drew, I was like, yeah, my shit was boxing and building contractor shit. I can fuck around, but I can't get up on the roof and crawl around and walk that ridge rafter all the way across one foot after the other. I can't lift the I-beams and shit. I can't do that shit. All that shit I can't do.
I cannot go spar at the gym and stuff like that. But my dad was smart in that he planned it out. His whole thing was sitting and reading. Yeah, low expectations. His life did not drop off at all at age, like literally at 85 to 35. He's doing the exact same thing, living his best life. You're a great example about how, like, I always say this, whatever the parent is, the kid zigs.
It's zigs and zags. You know what I'm saying? I don't want to cut you off, but I do often think about that with lefties. Yeah. I'm like, why is your fucking daughter and son not rebelling against your shit? Why are they further down the road than you? You know what I mean? Like Tim Walls and those guys like that. They're fucking kids. Kamala Harris's stepkids and all.
I mean, maybe it's all just money. Maybe it's not universal, but— No, it isn't, but it's—so it seems like when you're—on the right, your dad, mom, God-fearing, gun-toting, Trump-voting Christians, and then you go get the aggressive tattoos and the piercings, and you go hard, and then you're transitioning.

Chapter 4: How does the conversation shift towards societal perceptions of aging?
Dawson, were you there? And the guy pulls off the freeway and starts driving through this sort of dicey area through Queens. And then we stop at, like, a Quickie Mart, and it's a little dicey, and it's kind of weird. We're all just sitting in the SUV, and he goes, yes, let's be back. You know, he just takes off. And he just disappears. And he just disappears. And we're all still in the car.
We're all just sitting in the car. Like, we just paid the guy to take us to the hotel, you know. We got to do a show that night, you know. And somebody starts to dawn on us he's taking a shit at the quickie mart. But at some point, he comes out, you know, and he gets in. And we're sitting there for 15 minutes just looking around at this shitty quickie mart, you know.
And he comes out and he hops in and goes, all right, now we go to the hotel. And I go like, well, why did we stop? Yes, we go to the hotel. And I go, yeah, I know. But no, you're lying. It's good. You go, no, it's not good. I didn't want to stop here. We go now to the hotel. I know we're going to the hotel now. We were supposed to. Yes, it's good. And then at some point you go, oh, fuck it.
You just sit back. That's how I felt. I went to do stand-up at a jiu-jitsu tournament in Acapulco, right? So I fly in and, you know, I don't know if you've been to an airport in Mexico, but don't make eye contact with them. They're tiny people. They don't like when you look at them. And it was so funny because I go through and they're like, over there. I'm like, what's going on?
They're like, we're going to go through your luggage. We want to make sure you're not bringing anything in. I'm like... You're making sure an American isn't bringing anything into Mexico. So I go through it. I get out. And I'm like, I'm freaking out because everyone says they kidnapped down there. So I'm looking. I find my guy. I don't know how I picked him out of all the other guys.
But we get in. And, man, we just keep driving. And I'm like, man, we're going so deep into this place. I'm seeing weird cryptids running around. I'm like, that's a chupacabra. Oh, yeah.
Bloodsucker.
Goat sucker.
Yeah.

Chapter 5: What are the implications of grievance culture on societal behavior?
I go, of course they pay. They have to pay all the taxes. They pay most of the taxes. By the way, you don't pay taxes. My mom doesn't pay taxes. My mom never paid taxes. Walnut Springs, Texas. That's right. Let's go, Walnut Springs. With Ted Nugent on the marquee, and I'm still up on the marquee. Name spelled incorrectly. Fine. C-O-R.
Don't know why people don't just check that on their phone before they get up there. Do they have the internet in Wal-Mart?
Chapter 6: How do dress codes affect airport behavior and civility?
I had it. I don't know why. But I'll tell you what. You didn't pull a Morrissey? Yeah, I kept driving. No, when we – I will say this. We were going to eat breakfast in Walnut Springs on the way out to the track. And I said, oh, we will get some fucking hash browns in this town. We ain't getting new potatoes or purple potatoes or breakfast potatoes or homo potatoes.
We're getting fucking hash fucking browns. And... huevos rancheros was on the menu and I'm like, we're going to order it and we're getting fucking huevos rancheros. We're not getting, here's our sort of San Francisco take on huevos. We scramble the eggs and put them in an everything bagel, you know, like, no, no, we're going to get huevos rancheros, like 200 year old as God wanted it.
I am so in, dude.
Chapter 7: What are the controversies surrounding Amanda Bynes and Dan Schneider?
Yeah. I am so in. Me too. Fucking got beans. Yeah. Hash browns and huevos rancheros and salsa. Ted Nugent there, December 13th. I'm telling you, the Gatlin brothers are at the Big Barn, do-si-do. How many people live in this city? They come out, man. This place was packed. Like, if I move there as a Californian, am I going to be shunned? No, no. They like the troublemakers. They...
Chapter 8: How do societal norms around children's entertainment impact adult behavior?
They like a dude over there, and you're a dude. I'm in, dude. Oh, it was so good. You can talk about buying acreage and building shit on it and just doing it. Just build. You don't have to run it by anybody. No. Just start building. No, you want to know why? Because it's your fucking land. Yeah, yeah. It's your land. The only permit you need is from your wife. That's it. That's right.
She's the only permit person. She's barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen. And I love that women get mad. Oh, you just want us barefoot and pregnant. You're like, I think the only reason you don't like that is because you don't have shoes on. You love fancy shoes. I mean, you all get pregnant. You take a million pictures. Why are you upset with barefoot and pregnant?
There is a tweet that we had pulled aside, I think. It was about being a better citizen. Somebody was arguing with me like a week ago about being a better citizen. I love that Mondani wants to get rid of billionaires as he's taking Soros money. It's like nobody stops to ask questions. No, he's doing commercials asking people to donate money. It's so weird. They're all – here's the deal.
You want to know what it is? It's basically like every – it's like saying – Every politician does heroin. One group admits they do heroin, and the other group says how bad heroin is but slams heroin all fucking day. You live off heroin, but you talk about how bad it is all fucking day. And that's the bottom line.
It's just Gavin Newsom's angles on his face has progressive women just mesmerized. They just can't break free from that. No. It does not matter what comes out, whether it's the fires, the high-speed rail, homelessness. It does not matter. And it's just this whole thing about the theory of hate is 10 times worse than real-world consequences. Yeah.
It's just, you know, the Mondani, they looked at the numbers. Progressive women from like 18 to 29, I think it was, 80% of them voted for Mondani. And you're like, you know, it's like I'm from a time where if you see a woman in trouble, you step in and protect her. But now you've got to ask them who they voted for before you help them.
Yeah.
Yeah, they're all – it was like 82% or something. It was like higher than 80%. Yeah, it's like a crazy-ass thing, dude. You know, again – It's called suicidal empathy, it's called, where you vote against your own best interests. Yeah, well, they don't really know it's against their best interest, I don't think, because they don't really ever see unintended consequences.
You know, they go, look, there's a community of people who participate in drug use who need clean injection sites and no judgment zones. And they go, all right, come back in four months. Tell me it doesn't turn into a shit show. Yeah. 100%. It's always here's what we're going to do. I'll tell you what it is a little bit like in a weird metaphor.
