Speaker 1: Rich Man poor Man from Adam Carolla. It's one more
Speaker 1: thing Armstrong Andy, get to that in just a second.
Speaker 1: Now we are recording this podcast Wednesday morning, the tenth
Speaker 1: of June. Donald Trump just said, well, today's Wednesday, Wednesday
Speaker 1: in Iran. Donald Trump just said we are going to
Speaker 1: be hitting a ran very hard on Wednesday. Why would
Speaker 1: he say that? Why would he announce that before it happens?
Speaker 2: Final last ditch, come to the table play.
Speaker 1: I don't know. Okay, well, we'll have that on the
Speaker 1: next Armstrong in Getty show. I do not understand. So
Speaker 1: I came across this the other day. I don't think
Speaker 1: i'd ever heard it before. So Adam Corolla comedian now podcaster,
Speaker 1: and he's famous for being a conservative, so he's a
Speaker 1: funny guy conservative. It's interesting that him and Jimmy Kimmel
Speaker 1: were such buddies back in the day. They were young.
Speaker 1: Probably didn't talk politics much back then, and he's still friends.
Speaker 1: Jerry Seinfeld was on Corolla's podcast and said, your rich
Speaker 1: Man poor Man routine is one of the top five
Speaker 1: comedy bits of all time, and Adam Krohl said, wow,
Speaker 1: thanks for the compliment. He said, no, seriously, he said,
Speaker 1: I quote that to people more than any other comedy
Speaker 1: bit I've ever heard from Jerry Seinfeld, and I was
Speaker 1: unfamiliar with it and kind of grabbed clips of it.
Speaker 1: I'm just going to read you some of it. The
Speaker 1: concept is just pretty funny. I kind of feel bad about,
Speaker 1: you know, you hearing this material and kind of ruining
Speaker 1: it if you ever go see Adam Carolla. On the
Speaker 1: other hand, Adam Corolla urinated while we were interviewing him.
Speaker 2: So that's a good point.
Speaker 1: We had him on the air. He takes a weird break.
Speaker 1: There's a weird sound. We find out later. He talks
Speaker 1: out on his podcast and I was on with the
Speaker 1: two radio guys. I had to take a link, so
Speaker 1: I just took a link while.
Speaker 2: Time sank, and I got some on my shirt. As
Speaker 2: I recall, that's how much he cares about us. So
Speaker 2: I will tell you his comedy routine. But it's kind
Speaker 2: of a any concept. It's the idea that the very
Speaker 2: rich and the very poor share a lot of things.
Speaker 2: It's those of us in between that don't. Some examples
Speaker 2: wearing pajamas all day, the idle rich and the unemployed
Speaker 2: poor both never change out of them. Working class middle
Speaker 2: has to get up and put on clothes and go
Speaker 2: to work, always having your dog with you everywhere, which
Speaker 2: is pretty funny. No kleenex. Rich man has a monogrammed handkerchief,
Speaker 2: poor man uses his shirt sleeve. The rest of us
Speaker 2: use cleanexes. I thought this was really good. The very
Speaker 2: rich or the very poor do this eating unusual animals.
Speaker 2: Either it's a delicacy at five star restaurants or something
Speaker 2: you shot yourself or found on a road. Wow, a
Speaker 2: car that's rarely or never driven. Oh that's a good one.
Speaker 1: That's so good. Yeah, you got the car, you just
Speaker 1: have never got around to get it fixed because you're broke,
Speaker 1: or you I got the sixty two Porsch that you'd.
Speaker 2: Drive once a year, So nineteen forty five blue toa maker.
Speaker 2: It's got eleven original miles on it.
Speaker 1: Not knowing how much things cost, the rich don't care.
Speaker 1: The poor just don't pay any attention or buying a
Speaker 1: lot of stuff. So I thought this was a really
Speaker 1: good one. Are affected by minimum wage changes, that's true.
Speaker 1: The change of the minimum wage has had no effect
Speaker 1: on me since I was eighteen years old, other than
Speaker 1: burger prices. Yeah, but if you're super rich, you have
Speaker 1: the company you run and employees and all that. But
Speaker 1: and if you're poor and obviously making minimum wage. The
Speaker 1: super rich and the super Bowl both drive a brand
Speaker 1: of car that no longer exists, whether it's a classic
Speaker 1: Dusenberg like Jay Leno or a seventy four AMC Matador.
Speaker 2: Wow. Adam is one of the most amazing common nations
Speaker 2: of intelligent but not really like quote unquote educated that
Speaker 2: I've ever run into.
Speaker 1: Is absolutely brilliant. Neither the super rich into the super
Speaker 1: poor have ever eaten that out back steakhouse. I have,
Speaker 1: but they haven't spend Thanksgiving it a soup kitchen. That's
Speaker 1: pretty good. Rich like Floyd Mayweather or whoever helping out
Speaker 1: at a food kitchen, you know, and they show you
Speaker 1: on the Thanksgiving Day parade or something, or obviously the
Speaker 1: poor getting a meal on a first name basis with
Speaker 1: a judge. You're either rich and live in the same neighborhood,
Speaker 1: or you're poor and you're going to court all the time. Wow,
Speaker 1: that is so good, I know. That's why Seinfeld calls
Speaker 1: this one of his top five comedy routines He's ever heard.
Speaker 1: Use a ladder on wheels, either your mahogany one and
Speaker 1: your big library at your estate, or are you working
Speaker 1: at home depot helping customers getting stuff down off showf Wow.
Speaker 1: Used to live on a plantation. That's a pretty obvious one.
Speaker 1: This is my favorite one of all. I'll end with
Speaker 1: this one. Know the going rate for copper? Oh, that
Speaker 1: is so good trading shares and copper.
Speaker 2: Or yanking it out of bacon homes and street lamps.
Speaker 1: Ah, that is funny.
Speaker 2: Well done, Adam.
Speaker 1: Sorry Adam for stealing your comedy routine for which you
Speaker 1: made no money here. On the other hand, you urinated
Speaker 1: while you were while we were on the air.
Speaker 2: With this.
Speaker 1: You couldn't even hold your urine. He had the pee.
Speaker 1: What do you want out of them? It's not that
Speaker 1: old old my pee for us either, he wouldn't.
Speaker 2: Yes, Michael, something that rich people and poor people have
Speaker 2: in common, don't you think?
Speaker 1: Just go ahead and whiz by one of Adam's many
Speaker 1: entertaining books.
Speaker 2: There you go. Now we're even.
Speaker 1: Well. I guess that's it.
