<v Speaker 1>the most popular podcasters on Earth, comedian writer, doing a

<v Speaker 1>bunch of shows in Reno this weekend at the Virginia

0:00:24.120 --> 0:00:26.400
<v Speaker 1>Street brew House. Go see him. He just had to

0:00:26.440 --> 0:00:30.240
<v Speaker 1>add another show because he's so damned popular. Hello, Adam,

0:00:30.280 --> 0:00:32.760
<v Speaker 1>how are you hi. I'm a big fan of listen

0:00:32.760 --> 0:00:38.920
<v Speaker 1>to you guys every morning at here on. Yeah, so

0:00:39.240 --> 0:00:41.400
<v Speaker 1>now I'm going to be all nervous and I suck

0:00:41.479 --> 0:00:44.200
<v Speaker 1>even more than usual. So the Virginia Street bru House

0:00:44.240 --> 0:00:47.479
<v Speaker 1>and Rino actually like has human beings inside a building.

0:00:47.479 --> 0:00:49.800
<v Speaker 1>We live in California. That thing is not happening here.

0:00:49.840 --> 0:00:54.320
<v Speaker 1>So they're actually open there. Yeah, they're actually they're actually open.

0:00:54.560 --> 0:00:58.600
<v Speaker 1>It's like a dinner thing. So it's not a club,

0:00:58.720 --> 0:01:01.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, a stand up like a traditional stand up thing,

0:01:01.480 --> 0:01:07.280
<v Speaker 1>because god forbid, we open California and just any I mean,

0:01:07.319 --> 0:01:11.280
<v Speaker 1>the rules are so ridiculous. You know. I'm out here

0:01:11.319 --> 0:01:15.120
<v Speaker 1>in Burbank, California. A friend of mine from high school

0:01:15.240 --> 0:01:20.080
<v Speaker 1>runs this uh kind of honky tonk eatery called Tinhorn Flats.

0:01:20.880 --> 0:01:24.880
<v Speaker 1>He stayed open for outdoor dining during It's it's literally

0:01:25.000 --> 0:01:27.040
<v Speaker 1>up the street from where I am right now. I

0:01:27.280 --> 0:01:30.640
<v Speaker 1>ate there with my son during the outdoor dining band

0:01:31.160 --> 0:01:34.959
<v Speaker 1>and the shut is electricity. And now they pad locked

0:01:35.000 --> 0:01:38.959
<v Speaker 1>his doors and for for stuff they were wrong about

0:01:39.120 --> 0:01:43.800
<v Speaker 1>and had no evidence to substantiate. You know, outdoor dining

0:01:43.920 --> 0:01:47.240
<v Speaker 1>was was dangerous. It's now punitive. It's now we've now

0:01:47.360 --> 0:01:50.639
<v Speaker 1>crossed them. It's time to be punished, and they're gonna

0:01:50.840 --> 0:01:54.480
<v Speaker 1>set They're gonna send a message to any other taxpayers

0:01:54.880 --> 0:01:58.080
<v Speaker 1>and job creators who dared defy them. Yeah, we did

0:01:58.120 --> 0:01:59.880
<v Speaker 1>that story the other day. I didn't know as your

0:02:00.040 --> 0:02:03.120
<v Speaker 1>theas place, but um, so freaking maddening to me. So

0:02:03.440 --> 0:02:07.680
<v Speaker 1>you you make it illegal to open outdoor with no

0:02:07.760 --> 0:02:10.640
<v Speaker 1>evidence to back up, Why then when you violate that,

0:02:10.720 --> 0:02:13.520
<v Speaker 1>then they can shut you down for violating health rules.

0:02:13.800 --> 0:02:17.040
<v Speaker 1>I mean that sounds like the Soviet Union, right, And

0:02:17.080 --> 0:02:21.960
<v Speaker 1>it's basically, you know, it's one thing to have the

0:02:22.080 --> 0:02:25.880
<v Speaker 1>government say, well, we have a health inspector and we

0:02:25.960 --> 0:02:28.919
<v Speaker 1>have some standards, and we have to check for rodents

0:02:28.919 --> 0:02:33.000
<v Speaker 1>in your kitchen. Sure this is them saying drop and

0:02:33.040 --> 0:02:36.120
<v Speaker 1>give me twenty and you go, what why should I

0:02:36.200 --> 0:02:38.880
<v Speaker 1>do that? And they go, well, you'd like to keep

0:02:38.919 --> 0:02:42.119
<v Speaker 1>your license, you'd like to keep your electrical open. They

0:02:42.120 --> 0:02:46.120
<v Speaker 1>should be apologizing to every business they shut down for

0:02:46.200 --> 0:02:49.919
<v Speaker 1>a month who already bent over backwards to accommodate them

0:02:49.919 --> 0:02:53.520
<v Speaker 1>with outdoor dining. They should send over a fruit basket

0:02:53.600 --> 0:02:58.440
<v Speaker 1>to every business they shut down with zero evidence. I

0:02:58.480 --> 0:03:01.720
<v Speaker 1>talked to Dr Drew Yes today. He said, there is

0:03:01.880 --> 0:03:07.040
<v Speaker 1>no cases of outdoor transmission. Zero doesn't exactly, of course,

0:03:07.040 --> 0:03:08.959
<v Speaker 1>we can strapolate that. I don't know what your situation

0:03:09.000 --> 0:03:11.800
<v Speaker 1>with with kids of school age, but I got two

0:03:11.880 --> 0:03:13.800
<v Speaker 1>kids at a school age that I put I had

0:03:13.840 --> 0:03:15.720
<v Speaker 1>to put my son in a private school, even though

0:03:15.720 --> 0:03:17.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm a taxpayer and school is supposed to be provided

0:03:17.919 --> 0:03:21.280
<v Speaker 1>with my taxes, because they wouldn't open up the school,

0:03:21.320 --> 0:03:23.560
<v Speaker 1>and again no evidence to back that up. It makes

0:03:23.560 --> 0:03:25.960
<v Speaker 1>me so mad. I can't even hardly talk about it.

0:03:26.160 --> 0:03:29.880
<v Speaker 1>I got fourteen year old twins. They've been in their

0:03:30.000 --> 0:03:34.320
<v Speaker 1>rooms for over a year, and I talked to my

0:03:34.400 --> 0:03:37.280
<v Speaker 1>son last night. I said, when do you guys going

0:03:37.320 --> 0:03:39.360
<v Speaker 1>back to school? And he said, well, now we're gonna

0:03:39.440 --> 0:03:43.120
<v Speaker 1>go back towards the end of April, and I said,

0:03:43.120 --> 0:03:45.640
<v Speaker 1>a great, you go there for three weeks and then

0:03:46.000 --> 0:03:49.800
<v Speaker 1>summer vacation hits. But he said, but here's the thing

0:03:49.840 --> 0:03:52.920
<v Speaker 1>that was interesting. I said, you're going at the end

0:03:52.960 --> 0:03:56.400
<v Speaker 1>of April. What's the schedule and he said, two days on,

0:03:56.640 --> 0:03:59.360
<v Speaker 1>two days off. You could be the Tuesday Thursday class.

0:03:59.360 --> 0:04:03.360
<v Speaker 1>You'd be the Wednesday Friday class. And I said, what

0:04:03.440 --> 0:04:06.800
<v Speaker 1>about Monday and he said, oh, no, no school Monday.

0:04:07.160 --> 0:04:11.240
<v Speaker 1>These guys are turning this into a three day weekend. Now.

0:04:11.440 --> 0:04:16.320
<v Speaker 1>They're literally going from not showing up to every every

0:04:16.400 --> 0:04:18.800
<v Speaker 1>day is a three day week And the moronic media

0:04:18.960 --> 0:04:21.680
<v Speaker 1>keeps reporting on all these schools and saying good news, parents,

0:04:21.680 --> 0:04:24.040
<v Speaker 1>the schools are back open, even though for our local

0:04:24.080 --> 0:04:27.800
<v Speaker 1>school it's two days, two hours per day and mandatory

0:04:27.880 --> 0:04:30.320
<v Speaker 1>no teaching because they say it would be unfair to

0:04:30.360 --> 0:04:32.560
<v Speaker 1>the kids that are doing it on zoom if they

0:04:32.600 --> 0:04:35.800
<v Speaker 1>learn anything in the classroom, so there's no teaching during

0:04:35.800 --> 0:04:38.279
<v Speaker 1>those two hours for two days. But the media continues

0:04:38.320 --> 0:04:41.760
<v Speaker 1>to say the schools are open. It makes me freaking furious. Well,

0:04:41.960 --> 0:04:45.320
<v Speaker 1>the media, you know, the media who's spent in the

0:04:45.440 --> 0:04:49.640
<v Speaker 1>back pocket of the Democrats for the last you know,

0:04:49.839 --> 0:04:54.520
<v Speaker 1>ever since before Trump, but certainly we're sort of fed

0:04:54.640 --> 0:05:01.919
<v Speaker 1>creatine during Trump's range. These guys are bending themselves into

0:05:02.040 --> 0:05:08.479
<v Speaker 1>pretzels trying to protect these horrible policies, and unfortunately they're

0:05:08.520 --> 0:05:12.320
<v Speaker 1>starting to break, or fortunately they're starting to break, you

0:05:12.320 --> 0:05:14.800
<v Speaker 1>know what I mean. Like, even the media can't keep

0:05:14.880 --> 0:05:20.000
<v Speaker 1>this up, whether it's the border situation, whether schools being closed,

0:05:20.320 --> 0:05:23.680
<v Speaker 1>whether it's you know, double masking after you've gotten the vaccination,

0:05:23.880 --> 0:05:28.400
<v Speaker 1>even the media can't keep going with this. Like this

0:05:28.520 --> 0:05:33.120
<v Speaker 1>is basically the media is essentially like you know in

0:05:33.200 --> 0:05:38.720
<v Speaker 1>those crime caper movies where they go, we're gonna rob this, uh,

0:05:38.760 --> 0:05:41.360
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna rob this jewelry store. And there's the one

0:05:41.400 --> 0:05:44.599
<v Speaker 1>guy going, fine, i'll drive, and then they go here's

0:05:44.600 --> 0:05:46.920
<v Speaker 1>a gun, and he goes, no, I don't want to

0:05:47.000 --> 0:05:51.480
<v Speaker 1>kill anybody. I mean, I'll participate. But it's getting we're

0:05:51.520 --> 0:05:54.400
<v Speaker 1>going too deep now. So I think a lot of

0:05:54.400 --> 0:05:58.960
<v Speaker 1>the mainstream media, I think the problem with what's going

0:05:59.000 --> 0:06:02.240
<v Speaker 1>on and some of these guys, it's like Gavin Newsom,

0:06:02.279 --> 0:06:06.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, Gavin Newsom is is losing a lot of

0:06:06.560 --> 0:06:09.960
<v Speaker 1>his base and a lot of the mainstream media now

0:06:10.120 --> 0:06:12.719
<v Speaker 1>or Cuomo. You know what I mean, They've they've gone

0:06:12.839 --> 0:06:17.039
<v Speaker 1>so far that they're actually losing their constituency. Well, Gavin

0:06:17.080 --> 0:06:20.839
<v Speaker 1>Newsom has been so bad for so long. Virtually every

0:06:20.880 --> 0:06:25.080
<v Speaker 1>aspect of his administration is just sucked, and it's you know,

0:06:25.240 --> 0:06:27.200
<v Speaker 1>it's good to see the recalls happening and the rest

0:06:27.200 --> 0:06:29.840
<v Speaker 1>of it, but I don't really see the well, you

0:06:29.880 --> 0:06:31.240
<v Speaker 1>know what I almost said, I don't see the l

0:06:31.240 --> 0:06:32.800
<v Speaker 1>A Times calling them out that much. But they did

0:06:32.800 --> 0:06:35.840
<v Speaker 1>have pretty good coverage of, for instance, the thirty to

0:06:35.960 --> 0:06:40.400
<v Speaker 1>forty billion dollars worth a squandered unemployment benefits and stuff

0:06:40.440 --> 0:06:42.320
<v Speaker 1>like that they've given. And I'm a good whooping on that.

0:06:42.440 --> 0:06:46.600
<v Speaker 1>But um thinking that the l A the l A Times,

0:06:47.360 --> 0:06:50.800
<v Speaker 1>sorry for cutting you off. Go ahead, the l A Times.

0:06:50.920 --> 0:06:54.440
<v Speaker 1>You know what they're doing. They're not waking up, they're

0:06:54.600 --> 0:06:59.280
<v Speaker 1>thawing out. Which there's a difference, you know, wake up.

0:06:59.360 --> 0:07:02.479
<v Speaker 1>They're not getting a cold bucket of water in the face.

0:07:02.640 --> 0:07:08.560
<v Speaker 1>They're just fine. They're just kind of going slowly starting

0:07:08.640 --> 0:07:12.520
<v Speaker 1>to melt away and start to the ice is melting

0:07:12.520 --> 0:07:14.960
<v Speaker 1>away and we're starting to kind of wake up to this.

0:07:15.240 --> 0:07:18.120
<v Speaker 1>And after all, I guess we were a newspaper, so

0:07:18.200 --> 0:07:22.120
<v Speaker 1>we should do something. You know, it's a slow process,

0:07:22.240 --> 0:07:25.920
<v Speaker 1>but it's it's like turning around a battleship, you know.

0:07:26.000 --> 0:07:30.200
<v Speaker 1>They just they started turning. Well, especially because so many

0:07:30.200 --> 0:07:32.280
<v Speaker 1>of the people in newsrooms these days, and we're speaking

0:07:32.320 --> 0:07:36.120
<v Speaker 1>from personal experience, they're kids. I mean they they're not

0:07:36.400 --> 0:07:40.000
<v Speaker 1>died in the in the whole old timey principal journalists.

0:07:40.000 --> 0:07:42.240
<v Speaker 1>There are a bunch of woke kids who've been out

0:07:42.240 --> 0:07:44.760
<v Speaker 1>of college for six months. They don't know what they're

0:07:44.800 --> 0:07:46.960
<v Speaker 1>supposed to be. Well, they were told they're supposed to

0:07:47.000 --> 0:07:50.360
<v Speaker 1>be social justice warriors, but so you know, the narrative

0:07:50.360 --> 0:07:53.320
<v Speaker 1>is the only thing that matters to them. Honestly, that's

0:07:53.320 --> 0:07:56.640
<v Speaker 1>the way it seems anyway. Yeah, it's an it's an

0:07:56.720 --> 0:08:01.720
<v Speaker 1>interesting phenomenon, and I think you stumbled onto which is

0:08:03.680 --> 0:08:08.200
<v Speaker 1>since colleges have sort of become the centers where you go,

0:08:08.520 --> 0:08:11.400
<v Speaker 1>everyone has to pick a cause, everyone's got to choose

0:08:11.400 --> 0:08:14.480
<v Speaker 1>a side, everyone's got to be woke, everyone's got to

0:08:14.480 --> 0:08:16.920
<v Speaker 1>be a warrior. Well then, how are you supposed to

0:08:17.160 --> 0:08:20.800
<v Speaker 1>leave that behind when you leave campus? Well, well they are.

0:08:20.840 --> 0:08:22.960
<v Speaker 1>They're sent out in the world to do precisely the

0:08:23.000 --> 0:08:27.760
<v Speaker 1>opposite their religious zealots. They're out there to spread the gospel. Right,

0:08:27.920 --> 0:08:30.920
<v Speaker 1>But then you you get a job for the New

0:08:31.000 --> 0:08:34.920
<v Speaker 1>York Times, obviously you're just gonna keep you have a

0:08:35.000 --> 0:08:39.280
<v Speaker 1>mini These are like Mormon missionaries at this point. You

0:08:39.320 --> 0:08:44.800
<v Speaker 1>know they're not there to figure out, you know, what's

0:08:44.600 --> 0:08:49.079
<v Speaker 1>what's fair and what's equitable. They're there to extend their agenda.

0:08:49.520 --> 0:08:52.200
<v Speaker 1>How long did you go ahead? I was gonna say

0:08:52.240 --> 0:08:54.960
<v Speaker 1>that the part of this whole thing pandemic is really

0:08:55.080 --> 0:08:58.679
<v Speaker 1>shine the light on it. For me, it's not the media,

0:08:59.320 --> 0:09:03.240
<v Speaker 1>and it's not Gavin Newsom, and it's not the government.

0:09:03.920 --> 0:09:06.640
<v Speaker 1>The thing that's been eye opening to me is how

0:09:06.679 --> 0:09:10.240
<v Speaker 1>many citizens are willing just to queue up and go

0:09:10.320 --> 0:09:13.680
<v Speaker 1>along with everything. Yeah, it was shocking. Yeah, that was shocking.

0:09:13.720 --> 0:09:16.680
<v Speaker 1>Does too. I didn't know it would be possible to

0:09:16.720 --> 0:09:19.319
<v Speaker 1>shut down the whole town's businesses before this all happened.

0:09:19.320 --> 0:09:20.920
<v Speaker 1>I didn't even know you could do it, even if

0:09:20.920 --> 0:09:23.520
<v Speaker 1>you made it a law. And people were so willing

0:09:23.559 --> 0:09:26.120
<v Speaker 1>to stop going to church, shut down their businesses at

0:09:26.120 --> 0:09:29.560
<v Speaker 1>great expense, let their kids not be educated without much

0:09:29.559 --> 0:09:31.280
<v Speaker 1>pushback in a lot of areas, it was. It was

0:09:31.320 --> 0:09:33.720
<v Speaker 1>surprising to me too. Well, I still see. Polls were

0:09:33.760 --> 0:09:35.800
<v Speaker 1>like half a parents say probably ought to keep the

0:09:35.800 --> 0:09:38.240
<v Speaker 1>schools closed until it's safe. What the hell are you

0:09:38.280 --> 0:09:41.240
<v Speaker 1>talking about? How about all these people that you know,

0:09:41.240 --> 0:09:44.840
<v Speaker 1>they interview these people on CNN and you know, they're

0:09:44.840 --> 0:09:49.480
<v Speaker 1>talking about Texas fully reopening and dropping all the mandates

0:09:49.559 --> 0:09:52.120
<v Speaker 1>and all that stuff, and they interview all these people

0:09:52.160 --> 0:09:55.160
<v Speaker 1>and they're like, we've come this far. What's a couple

0:09:55.200 --> 0:09:57.440
<v Speaker 1>of more months. I don't get it. It's like, you

0:09:57.480 --> 0:10:01.360
<v Speaker 1>don't get it. It's it's been a year. What do

0:10:01.360 --> 0:10:03.360
<v Speaker 1>you mean, what's a couple What's a couple of more

0:10:03.440 --> 0:10:07.760
<v Speaker 1>months to do something that has no fact? Like, what

0:10:07.760 --> 0:10:11.560
<v Speaker 1>what do you mean? So that's how long did you

0:10:11.600 --> 0:10:13.960
<v Speaker 1>go without doing stand up? Or did you find places

0:10:14.000 --> 0:10:16.840
<v Speaker 1>around the country that we're still open? I just found

0:10:16.880 --> 0:10:20.520
<v Speaker 1>places around the country that we're open. I've been to Texas,

0:10:20.920 --> 0:10:25.679
<v Speaker 1>I've performed in Texas three times, Oklahoma City, Nashville, I've

0:10:25.720 --> 0:10:28.640
<v Speaker 1>been all over the country. Any place that's open, I go.

0:10:29.000 --> 0:10:30.880
<v Speaker 1>That's wild because I live in one of the early

0:10:30.920 --> 0:10:33.800
<v Speaker 1>counties to close in America, and and I mean there's

0:10:33.840 --> 0:10:36.640
<v Speaker 1>been nothing happening in my county for like a year.

0:10:36.720 --> 0:10:39.440
<v Speaker 1>But you know that's such as being a California You know,

0:10:39.480 --> 0:10:42.120
<v Speaker 1>I forgot to mention that Adam's show is entitled Adam

0:10:42.160 --> 0:10:45.320
<v Speaker 1>Corolla is Unprepared. Have you ever noticed that the title

0:10:45.360 --> 0:10:47.200
<v Speaker 1>of your show makes any difference? I mean, if it

0:10:47.280 --> 0:10:50.559

0:10:50.640 --> 0:10:53.800
<v Speaker 1>Curla Beats the hell out of your grandmother, anything, does

0:10:53.800 --> 0:10:57.120
<v Speaker 1>that matter? I did do Adam Carolla Beats the Hell

0:11:18.400 --> 0:11:20.280
<v Speaker 1>just to go backward for a second, and not to

0:11:20.320 --> 0:11:22.720
<v Speaker 1>get all policy on people, but the point I'd like

0:11:22.760 --> 0:11:24.600
<v Speaker 1>to make on the show a lot on our radio show,

0:11:25.080 --> 0:11:27.080
<v Speaker 1>because it's important to know this is our system of

0:11:27.120 --> 0:11:31.680
<v Speaker 1>government was not designed because everybody loves liberty. It was

0:11:31.800 --> 0:11:34.480
<v Speaker 1>designed because a lot of people are sheep and they

0:11:34.520 --> 0:11:37.959
<v Speaker 1>want a king, and the founding Papa's knew it, so

0:11:38.000 --> 0:11:41.200
<v Speaker 1>they designed a system that the majority couldn't vote their

0:11:41.240 --> 0:11:51.760
<v Speaker 1>own rights away. No wait, hold on, can you hear me? Yeah,

0:11:51.800 --> 0:11:57.599
<v Speaker 1>we can, we can now, are you okay? Yeah? You

0:11:57.720 --> 0:12:00.360

0:12:00.360 --> 0:12:03.840
<v Speaker 1>thing I've ever heard in my life. But we'll get

0:12:03.880 --> 0:12:07.240
<v Speaker 1>over it. That's all right. Go see Adam Corolla at
