I think the big differences when we we do it happy days, the I think average weekly or and was maybe thirty, I have two forty million people. And a successful show now is a million a year, and whilst in another thing just to solidify your point. Thirty five! in people when there was two hundred and forty million people live on ass. Now, there's another hundred million people in this country, so percentage wise. It was even greater, so there was no where you could go where you were recognized instantly which What you're in the business for in its greatest sometimes gets a little invasive, or did you know invasive, but it was what the gig was. You know
so you were born on the EAST coast always what you were to have one thinks on that guy that I'm lying I would immediately, but I would add that the form that you were these costs guy you might do- was from failing so I think I can learn a little better than that's how you yes, there was here. You know, talk like a California? You don't have the coffee and the water, and I here that a new. So when I watch television go is one of my people well. In this sense, I am because I'm a pace right. The mother too,. now my mom is not my dad LA caroled on my mom nobody's perfect hitched perfect, but I know you come we're paratrooper immigrants where they now their parents of their apparently s right. That's what my that's, how my dad role so you grew up on the east coast. Have what gets you to Hollywood? Well,
I watched it, probably with you as well, when I would come home from school. A big thing for me was to watch television sure so I'd watch four thirty movie at home and latin, and I thought I'd like to be on television at the time I had an older cousin. I have an older cousin who became a look here. Who was an actor very talented guy Do any thing saying dance play instrument and he was on commercials, but did an episode of the monkeys, and I thought day: that's pretty cool and I said to my mama- want to be on television- is she kind of get any anyway so should I kept pestering? a little bit in the end as she brought me to my two MIKE over cousins agents and managers, and I started going on additions, which I hated and start a book in some stuff. Did you
Was it about the look or about the five or was it about the performance? What do you mean that were hated yeah Well, no, I mean you're getting book. No, nor rarely people hate it. They don't study that own and learn the lines that are there the kind of mail it in so was it about a look. For you know it was the look hurt me because at the time- They were looking for any and all the casting the New York with a candle suitcase irish looking kids here I come this dark hair, dark, eyed, tying kid and I very little work, but I lived in Brooklyn. and to go from Brooklyn to Manhattan. Like driving from vaguest away. It was just wherever right in your house, that this item be nine ten, eleven years old, that after school you only time you had to play with your friends and I want to go my friends and we now have an addition to go refer Post, syrian, whatever the hell. It was some of the bullshit and I didn't and thence use me Adam fight it
if your name didn't end than avowal, I wasn't interested in you. I wouldn't talk to you- would probably Kick your ass and that's the way, was very tribal back then right now here nor the Manhattan, and I mean these guys I dont know, then, if I didn't know you, I didn't like you just right the bad? I don't know why. I guess that was some cultural thing or summer some neighbourhood thing, and I dont want to read and want to read for you and I give you the way under. a little bit here. The way that I got Bugsy Malone was I am how much do you want? what I wanted my I want you to go into. Ok, I don't want a boy, you're, you're, you're right, it's because you have massive audience. They love you and I dont want some of them do some, some of them really don't like me a lot anyway. So I am I quit because I didn't want to go into Manhattan anymore- was it really was a pain in the ass traffic? On the high he's going to be really was hours and hours, my poor mother? How to drive me and my father,
have dinner and- and the brother and sister. I kind of carbon was it was tough on us, so I quit and then I manager at the time call this a look. I know he doesn't want to do this anymore, but this movie, then I think he's right for going to read for it. And my mother cates relevant dammit inside him? Ok, mom I'll go and I went I am, and I walked in the in the often those Alan Parker after they aren't going about their annual Gregg Director great man, and he gave me a script we sit. Can you read these lines and I looked at with disdain out like we're. Ok- and I read them any, Can you read these decided character? One now and I'm a bit annoyed me. Because I didn't want to read the first time I don't want to do now. Is it reads mouth so I said
and I read it and I said to my done: he said yeah I threw the script animal. I walked out the door before I got home, I had the job. You were fifteen, sixteen thirteen! Thirteen at that, oh yeah Cosette. a wild make through hurry. I guess I sought came out. Seventy six. I saw fourteen I saw the movie theater greatly right I have a well through the eyes of the eleven year old, twelve year old, Adam Corolla. It was growing if you, if you, if it comes on ever watch it it's a real it's a fantastic movie. Well, because I'm in it, but it's just what what these people did, what Alan Parker and a whole bunch guys did was amazing what we talk about a christian look it up before you came in, but it a very high run, tomatoes score, lady one. Eighty one really listen! If you can't not like

We rode off, get as a hundred kids on assent and Jody Christie, Hope woman who had his shit. You know she was, she was never messing around onset We always knew her dialogue and she was a pro and I was now to Brooklyn, and so is the guy who play fat, SAM and all the other kids who are all from England, but you but Jody had just finished. Actually driver- oh my god and flew to England Bugsy Malone, always film the name yet wow

Do Belgium alone and then doing midnight express my right few years later, I mean that's crazy. whiplash loves hot tub in the end, snow back home, we're looking at a picture you from foxes, that's from Fox, that's from foxes arrived, doesn't then, rather movie did we write Jody fostering so right girl great and ass. We still make out the hallways authority in an English, our railway guests, that's before she discovered or true calling or maybe a drover. The hat I don't have on you, you drove ordinary arms of another woman discredit so Jody. I love you you're. U, due to these two big movies foxes was a big movie bugs below
big movie and then have now so happy days we have in Sweden. Those was between those so Somebody Shaw Bugsy, Malone and said: let's get him in here again. What am I I can deep dive you? I cannot jurists, ok, because I'm see, time, you're doing this sitting in a one bedroom apartment with my parents, divorce in north on a black and white Zenith TV watching happy days, so I'm in a totally different place. But I am interested in in live insert things can converge in our and how well you can start here and there with you too, by the way I'm doing a show about all of that you do, like a one man show that are taken out about how it's called. How did I get here because I find it interesting and I'll get it
story? I find it interesting how you? How did you get here? Adam had an all the things that lead you here whatever it was, I find kind of stuff fascinating Listen. I was thinking about their don't do what I'm doing a first, I'm not not doing a one man show, but I was about his eyes, energy owing acts, and I fell quarterback AIR Kramer because he and I started off on the same pop Warner football. Nowhere when we were nine astray. Add was one of the coaches and Bob LAW and at some point he went on to play for the airs and the lions, and he was professional players play for like thirteen years and legal started and the NFL and I was I was saying to him at some why you and I are in the same park in North Hollywood, practicing then at some point you now I'm twenty shit
twenty seven drive and a pickup truck no insurance working construction, making nine bucks now and I'm watching. You start in the NFL as a quarter back for the bear. and then at another point, I'm hearing that your son O deed and your attention kill yourself with a bullet under under the chin. And now here we are like together then just will look at the weird path and so and at some point when you are struggling with depression in your in your in your son, oh deed. I was making tons of money and live in live in a good life like it, it's crazy. When you follow the rejecting any. Now I was at the time I was at the and I on the rocks above the Roxy Theatre in Sun on sensible about two years ago, and this such a random thing. For me, I opened a magical cover. And on the inside of it said, lie it short
very wide. I thought that's pretty deep on actual message, but we and I I tend to think you know you look back of your life, I'm sixty one now and I looked back and. you know, I did a lot of shit and I remember a lot of it. Not that's with the drugs or anything it's just. I never did I just so many things that you do what you go through your life that you go. Oh I I remember going what late at night. I Google, my name I put in videos and a show came up. No idea what the show was me and Robert read from from the Brady Much railway I don't even remember doing it, I remember what it was called, but I watched it It was like a clip of me and him, no one, did I do this it has I've said to people that I am now kind of it. The point
where many these things didn't even feel like me are like I was there and if you wanted, If I had three beer, you could probably convince me that I never did the Mantua like I'm, I'm not stupid, Well, I'm not sure if I did it or didn't do it anymore, it's weird and, gas or, as is we drill down on us traditionally in our country, and it still this way for many people, but think about this. I've never consider this. you used to work at the same in a warm more my dad, up and South Philly that the Baldwin Locomotive Factory in everyone went to go work at the ball. When locomotive factory traditionally in this country you what I got a job there when your twenty and you wouldn't retired, when you're sixty three and you
have a lot of those moments where it did. I do this idea that like and we know what you did- you showed up every day, the Baldwin Locomotive Factory. If you have a job, that's a blessing where You did this project any. Does that project anyone here than he did that I have to sit back. go with him, a diver meet the sky. Before did I work with this person in people have to explain it to me because of this crazy cornucopia of life experience. If you look at your life from age, fourteen on which nothing but different experiences in different places of wasn't going to the Baldwin Locomotive Factory. So that's why you're memory of it is probably going to be this way and Robert. was it a tv show you there was a. I think it was a pilot that he did about. Kids running away from Home- and I I'm watching it night- and I know it's me-
and usually Adam. If I'm watching, you show that our men and I catch but a dialogue, all remember the rest the sum of the dialogue, nothing zero, I remember shooting it men where it was an attic I thought awaited them. I am I am I getting dimension you know cause that those are the things around around your head of his age, nineteen. Seventy eight no prince for my sin that that's the name of it back. Like ISIS looked out here. We also did the law clever, I didn't love. Oh yes, we ve been working with the great Christie, Mcnally Christie Mechanical said Maria and adapt, as you might imagine, that episode, Yeager Christie, mechanical boy. She was quite that I love her. Ah love yeah. She was. She was a big deal backing there was a big deal. I drew the original lovable tomboy. I guess yeah, you know her. I met her on love bowed and I hung out with real kids. We hung out for a while
I just I adored her. I saw her a couple years ago. Man, bear hugged her. I just think great and I will use to make our stuff like that- got well urine Tiger beaten. Teen, be all that shit. I mean you were the draw, I guess back then so you base. Somebody sees Pugsy Malone and brings you out yet to ride for charging. Now They screen the movie paramount, bought it out. Because Alan parking them running out of money. and then when the film was finished, they screen for all these of paramount gas. Was one of the guys here marshal and Everybody in that in that the mood in the in the room and everybody it all in the business. Wanted fact, FAT Sam, a guy named John Cassisi, who was also
plumb boy lived a likeable blocks. For me he was sort of the comedic readily he was. He was fantastic in the movie fact he steals the move. He so great and everybody wanted him. Gary Marshall, in his infinite wisdom says no, not you know I, like the other kid I like that. Can he looks like somebody that girls might like her and brought me out to do. Oh God, either the Pinky Tuscan, Darrow, spin, off or blue. keys, beauties with Nancy Walker. That's where the memory gets a little far. I can remember which came first and that in that at that time, but I it bland skis beauties and after that was cancelled Gary Said: hey, you wanna be unhappy days as hat
Days has been on for a few sees you seasons at almost every star, no catch fire and yeah sure, and how is it that was it Winkler, nice guy in the world He so nice, you think, he's full shit, yeah, that's what point, that's who he is. I've known him for it, since some a child- and he been the same human being from now from then till now, so maybe he's sincere person on the plant? He's very sincere he's super smart, very he's very savvy. Politically, not I mean in terms of government in terms of show business. And he's he's just his easel nice man. I mean I don't know how to put it, but he's a gentle man. I had my my greatest sort of welcome to showbiz moment with him, because people always say
you know: when did you realize you made it or like what was your first thrill casino? After while you get old Jake and my career trajectory was much different than youngsters pairs. I I thirty years old, didn't make a penny and done a thing. A few bucks now right now, I'm fine I was, I never did anything and I finally made my way into radio and K Rock and were at a concert the K Rock acoustic Christmas, where backstage and Henry Winkler was there and airlines hang around talking and I had this character. That was popular name, Mr Bertram, and at I heard a group of people long with Winkler. Gonna burn Mr Bertram around here somewhere, like who's, the guy who does Mr Barton me somewhere somewhere, and I heard up when I walk up- and I said these guys talkin about me and
Henry Winkler. As you know this, if you now Henry gives me the two handed handshake, they looked at me with this. Eyebrows appear to have efficient vehicles. He does nobody can do what you do, nobody, what you do on the radio. Nobody can do that and I was like, oh my god, the fonts like I've mine, blown man. I remember I was thirty and a half or something like I and now and night you have to fire night shift good move right and, as like disguised tell him that to me I've arrived, I decided, even though your him he's a good guy he's. Just a The guy I completely and utterly agree and then their douche bags there. There are- I always say: if no it's a bag. Then, no Henry Winkler
good then everyone's good, and we owe it to the Henry Winkler of the world, the actual good ones, to call out the dish, bags and all be in the middle somewhere. So are you on two happy days that turns now now you're getting all the fan mail, I mean the must have shown up in those big postage sacks every week. when your member of that was like. Yeah, there was about five thousand letters weak for weeks from years, and am it's it's an odd thing because you don't tell me you don't see it you, don't you see, let you see bags of mail, but that doesn't mean anything right and you just saying: oh ok, some people writing to me when you try to write a budget
and you just go screw it and then you're in a whole, because you're not right now, I'm back, but it takes an event to two for you to realise that your popular and until because you you do. I do everybody living your bubble. You live in your world, you get up in the morning. You go to work, I go to the studio and I come home and I would do whatever there was, It started getting a little weird for me to get out of the house would follow me. I would get a lot of What to me, restaurants and things like that, and without the old but the coda Kodak with a flashing ball the term. like that, and then you think we'll that's kind of interesting in and it doesn't really affect you until you see in mass. That is that is a very frightening moment, well again
you know. I have people all the time say to me. Oh, you need to watch this series. Unita watched, a walking dead error to watch yellow stone or such like that. You know Yellowstone very, Popular show. Now it's a big it's a big hit on cable and for any the Kashmir members ever walked in or Starbucks, I was in Save Kevin COS I would now idea would have no fucking idea. This was a different way, You knew I take from the love pout view. Recognize him and me. I wish my point earlier, which ass I ve, no universal. You had to know, and so, if you're the winning and that you are also on the losing end of that, which is just can't do anything I may need without people recognising evil how you go, how would you go out on a date back there me. You would go late
or you would try to somehow get snuck snuck in to the movie theater? If you go to a movie or you would find a viable kafka. The kid Adam and ours abattoirs, but it might, I guess I was in my twenties and sort of was this way until later in life, but this crazy, was was as well as was I as when I was on happy days. you figure it out you gotta people's homes or things like that and you just try to stay low key, but But the other side of that is. The reason you do it right. You you on tell you want people to like We want people to enjoy what you do. So you got like a double so you kind of want to be alone, but then, when the people don't come up to go
we're about to me what the hell's going on right. So it hits. We have really was forget about. I forget about, or maybe awnings does run house in this whole equation. Did you see little sparks young RON, Howard like directing or trading and he was directing during the show he on some tv movies and everybody. No, we want the directive wasn't shy about it. He told everybody in you're probably knew there was a point when he was going to split good guy, Did you move the family? Did that Emily relocate to LOS Angeles or just here now, in the beginning? I would commute back and forth my mother. We had a little apartment on fountain Avenue by Croatia, while One bedroom and my there were come with me and stay couple example.
So the schedule was honest, honestly, com, three or four episode to give a week off three four and we call for three or four weeks off, and So during those weeks I go back up and as I started- becoming popular in my family had been my brother or sister, but out here at different times in my mother and father right of ties. We realized in this a bad move out here, and it was Paradise back in eighteen. Seventy six, was in all the homeless that tax wasn't hired a shithole, though it turned India. Yet it was beautiful and it was clean air they The area you're talkin about I lived in that area off a fountain and cawing is Weller, was on Franklin and cawing, either way. Thus, yeah. Well, it was nice now you wouldn't want to go down and hang out now area. Then we bought. It
studio city in and kept going so how'd. Your You were the younger of the two siblings there. There twins their older than our really my brother, just how they take your crazy astounding success, the the one thing in my life, maybe but one top things in my life that that was important to me, there was none too they never an inch of jealousy from my brother sister. Now I never. If I was always No matter what I did, I was their kid brother, my sister when I was young, I throw Barbara dolls out the window, I kind of crap, and then my brother was my hero. there was a lot of ways and he beat the shit out of me when I was young and he repeated there. He did the big. Furthermore Joe on me when I was like ten that I knew I could never kick. His ass never
He did things to me. I saw a so he scares me, but they they gonna kick out of it and my brother would travel with me when I will go to personal appearances, and and- he was great about you, don't oftentimes here that store. I know I know and that's why I'm very lucky, God gave me your brother and sister and because could have gone bad? Is you ve, seen now we shall business almost always goes bad and because it's a. It's it's it's an equation. That's all! That's it! It's a Rubik cube and it's really hard to solve its built in there. be jealousy so what what ends up putting, I think is the
sibling becomes really successful at some point. The other sibling like ask for a favor may that want to borrow some money or could put a roof or my house. My got a kid. Could you send the college or something like that? then the successful civil Does it and then the other person kind of resent several for it and they don't really show their appreciation. And now it's a two way street, because the person put the roof on the house goes. I've spent thirty, seven thousand bucks put a roof on that guy's S. Christmas comes around, I'm gonna, fuckin car and then the person who gets the roof has a lot of shame which turns into resentment and I often running yeah. I I think if I was a creep, if I turn- Egomaniac in any way would have indifferent, the other factor is that our parents didn't treat me differently
and there was no oh well Scott has to do this and we need to do this for him. It was none of that. My father is all world italian guy, tough, tough, tough, tough and my mother was swedish, candy and That's the way it was. He was the boss and we didn't there was. We were the same people right just had a job on television and had thousands of young ladys who were screaming for me, and that was the difference. Yeah, we'll get into that will take. A quick break will be right back with more Scott bound right after this. Hey everybody, hope all had a lovely holiday break, giving gifts to and fighting with your family. So I wanted to remind you guys that the cool, a family barbecues fast approaching sad June. Eighteen, twenty twenty two as the day lit lock, see the smoking kills and a ton of your favorite Asia
areas will be their silken up. The sun, food and booze may help you I'll, be there too. We have a pre sale that went quickly, so I decided to open this thing up.

The only way you'll be able to get into the event is through the case club, a corolla drinks, dot com. You can't wait, you guys in June, for the third annual Corolla family barbecue. Oh my god, it's back with more bow yeah. The crane the tv bopper, I mean I've interviewed Donnie ass. To who proud in this like. It was. It exists now, there's no, no doubt, but it didn't it does
this now how it existed back then, for the same reasons, Harry Styles has a bunch of screaming crazy. France is no doubt about it, but For the same math equation, we used on thirty five million people out of a country. It had two hundred to earn thirty million people watching happy days every week as the same sort of thing, with the tiger being a teen beat in the crazed, craze fans thing you couldn't you couldn't get away for back then, and I don't know how you deal with that and what is it I mean it did. The crazy thing is when skies are nineteen in twenty or their young you're at the bottom of your powers, Europe, that are the least desirable. You know them because you got
mojo, you gotta know you job here. Nothing here, you're nineteen year old, when I was nineteen I'd, have one bedroom with three. I live with three dudes. I slept on a bunk bed, a bunk bed and I made a bunk and I drove a pickup truck with no headdress, I wasn't I was fit. I was good luck and I wasn't getting anything cause. I didn't have anything you, basically a big dopey. when you and I together with nothing in areas that are too big for your body and you just an idiot, you like. nine month old Labrador. Exactly right and not use got bran match you, you got women and their common at you. How do you deal with that doesnt? No, maybe that's so now. How did it? How do you go like? I need to be committed relationship or do you, but.
still goes back to you, you have a life. You have your bubble, that's the bubble, you sort of stay and now, as you older and you start be being aware of the world and use you're outside your bubble, you go with it there's. A lot of women out here there really nice and they come up to me and ok this, this is gonna be fun time and you got. Phase your life and so it about. I am I dont meet him. I'm stammering, because it's it's sort of tough to verbal, as if you were becomes your. U world is your world. My world is my one: you only. You only see the things as they come into your into your line of sight right. So that was what I saw I had my home and my work my home and my work, and how that that's what I did and then, as I got older you get into the
rural than his other things out there and in that way, That becomes your world and then you get tired, You get tired of all of these worlds. grow. While these worlds and thus a nobody, I played a longer harder than Cow Ripken right it being single, but that boring. I met a beautiful girl. I married her. I'm in love with her and so that all in light of life to me seems it was right now it was fun, but it's that guy anymore and I and I'll never be that guy anymore was, I was thinking bout Errand Moran, who was Joanie from happy days and then Joanie loves Chacha. After that and I was I dont Know- why wasn't wasn't connected to you- I was just thinking about her. She was a big star too, and she died Sadly, a couple years ago, maybe a trailer park somewhere main something looks, wasn't inhalation. Wasn't
in the same, and I dont know whatever really became of her, there was some mental illness or sums substance abuse or something. What, Was she cancer? cancer, which I did know about an. I got a lot of trouble for she. She was troubled and I love there and I really did she was fun to work with them and we data for a while, which is all big mistake. When you're sure Never never do that. Well its inevitable, yet by its also. Never do it right and she got into some things. I don't know. If I want started doing troezen. large came right after happy days, and I just I moved to another neighbourhood, I made new friends I didn't. I didn't really see, though the people from the shining one that very like them or anything. I just you move on and I lost touch with her
and I knew she was- I knew and was told that she was doing things that you shouldn't be doing in terms of prescriptions or whatever was, and I dont know not. I talk bad about her. She had a rough life she's, a very rich life and it was sad because she was a sweet. She wanted to be taken care of, and nobody did it at its heartbreaking because she she was a dear dear girl. She was, and she just fell apart or something happen either. I really don't know clad in total for many years, yeah she's a bit of a Hollywood tragedy, sort of she started. Young family situation has shed crazy success because anyone connected with happy days- and she was there from the beginning and jumps rate yeah there from the from my love american style. I think yeah
and then you now, that's it it's it's a story that you ve, heard Whaley into way too many way too many times So let's talk politics go, you have been republican for whoever rhyme, for I mean you're out campaigning with Reagan, doing stuff with direct Reagan when you were coming to worm something young man and Hollywood. has recently. I can't you tell me if you think the ship is turning back Hollywood semi recently just sort of declared war on Republicans and in a trump really weapon? step, but it was always there. It's just turned into it. It got a lot of creating got.
to it or growth hormone or something for when Trump was elected by anyone who is open about their politics and not on the right side, which would be the left side. If you lived in Hollywood, you're gonna get your careers gonna. Be impact. now I don't know if it's people do this. All time where they go in other guy, like I've made a bunch of documentaries they're all I don't know my documentaries and looking to Chris, I would say, are all up in the nineties on rotten to me ass, an end, a much higher averaged in most of the ones that get into Sundance, but none of my document, which are ever going into Sunday ever because of what I say now. The people that complain about Mccarthyism are now the practitioners and Mccarthyism. Fine, then people say to me all time while you're not cancelled.
I'm not, but there is a there- is a business model to making documentaries and going to Sundance and having a bidding war break out is a good business model that I don't get to participate in so while not cancelled, it does impact me to some degree and that's just the business, that's how it that's. How now people end up like Marinos, you guys can look it up, but they keep closer. The vast and they don't want to say anything I always go. You know they. Sometimes people say to me what Keyser Republican and how can I go? Think of the people, don't say anything. Those are the Republicans. You don't hear anything out of the Republicans. That's our words, because that the debt, rats, never fuckin, stop locating about everything, but it is gonna impact. Your career how'd, was it then verses now and what your head on it?
Then when I was younger Guy Reagan, guy o back, then it wasn't. You could talk politics, you could There was. There was nothing it wasn't. It wasn't as vicious. It wasn't a thing in times thousand times less wishes. Wasn't nobody, because I think the parties back then we're not that different. They might have two different pinions on taxes, maybe some health care things that was our all here, we're all Americans. We all love the country. We all, we all want. We don't want people, don't belong here, and this is this is what you know this was until not that long ago. While if you go back to the point, you go back and look at Nancy, Polo, Syria, Barack Obama, Chuck tumor, where just Al Gore Present Biden before its present job on
he's making speeches about the border. You think you're fucking, listen! I shant Hannah. That's my point. Drunk talk anew Mitra, On my phone I mean it's, you gotta, Look at some summit six, eight years old. I greet you go with us, never to see, and I don't know what you know, if somebody sent on a member say: hey linen body in UNESCO loafers. Let's do that. I dont know if that was if that was like a big meeting that they had. I dont know how this worst because right they said the exact. Opposite eight ten years ago, I don't know I don't know what's different. I maybe I tend to think that whatever Trump didn't want it to do. They just the opposite. There was no thought in what it was just one. what if he want the black white, we want the white black. Now got this disastrous situation in the country. Words, words words. The horrible place I'm getting worse, but but
Was it a thing? No act now was not. There was not a word Reagan. Guy in Europe, I met Reagan people, so you met President rang and what was she like and blob loves animals, and it was interesting people now, if you say you may trump our screw him right k right, I just I'm just telling you a story. You have to do me and above all, on the same guy, was five years ago right, so you were. There and you experienced Hollywood as a republic. and that was live and let live and what what have you experience sense or have felt cause. Some of it is not quantified like people, so I could quantified I want to hear that got increase. If you can, you can find, President Obama, before I was present bomb that there are some there's some folks
Mary Obama, maybe Nancy Pylos, may be talking about the border checks humor. What about the same order bewailing lent and talking about the border? It's insane, you think you're talkin, while one of the minute man yeah, really it's mine, numbing and then as I always scream doktor drew when their make enough some of these real name. policies. Eighty one now she when she made the speech he was sixty three. Do you think you are you're gonna dramatically about things differently, that formation three age, eighty one, the app so sorry, Gimme Euro Gimme. Your story I would like to- say that I'm probably the first cancelled because I gave a speech at the republican Convention and for Trump in sixteen right and and got all this shit
and I said it before before I went in, I was doing interviews. I went on Judge Janine, show and- and I think that's where I announced like Anybody- really gives a shit. I know Scully. now who is one for but- After that it was, it was hell's. A pop up is it was. It was nuts. I was, I was the anti Christ and I ok, but at member state, and if you look, if I never work again, I'm fine, I don't care. I I want this. And to be present for ABC Dna how're financially. How does it work, though, if you never work again My point, if I don't work again and fine ok, I am I the first dollar ever made invested everything I ever made and I've been on television for forty five years. I dont money is not an issue, but I I, if I don't, if I dont work again great
happy do and and the reason I did it Adam. I did it for my daughter. for what I believe in the way I grew up things that I saw in a way that I think, should be in the way the country should be. I did it for my kit. I want her to grow up in a country that I remotely recognise- and so when I, when I that speak for him, which was, amazing more. The stories in my life where the great stories of my life hanging I went, he took us into Lincoln Bedroom old as great as later on, and then my agent, whom I love. So what are you doing today what it is. I mean I did it and I don't care and so I guess I'll give you a story, so friend of mine. I dies them busy idea for shop, so he attack that somebody at ABC a woman named on Sunday.
and he said: hey I've got the site email. I got this idea idea with for music show with Scorpio Blah blah blah blah blah. She writes back emails back. I don't want any to do with Scott Trump bail? Oh yeah! Well, that's the thing about it is their arrogance that's what I saw you ain't so to quantify there you go, she would know to do so, then I out at her. Oh I mean that will of course remember, What do you mean that Let me send the idea to somebody above me, and I said you know, get buzz off and then so then I am another thing about the way the secure France ACT of O six. Basically, the border wall of biomass, humor and Hillary Clinton. I'm guessing voted voted for it. In oh said: Thou voted for border angle and no six billion right. Now there are all there.
no bomber was younger, but the Schuman Plan or in the fifties, sixties, and they have they ve, had an appearance right. I don't wanna make, though they may find that are there and then their funny. Their arrogant about like HBO bunch of fighting, arrogant You can't say I argued I couldn't say: oh, I know Joe Biden of peace, a crap forget it tromp is the devil job as a Nazi right or whatever you Adam Biden, Corolla. You have you have seen which you want. I tell people, time. Everyone talks about a few money, but you really when asked me money, which is, I can t You know my own career and it doesn't matter. That's f me money and that's fine Chile, kids of your listing. That's really want to get the earth ass. You good. F me. Money is bad. Things now has f me. My he reflected a just place. Call for pretty much so you would you
could say that you are like rendered a persona non grata here and Hollywood, because your political views, yes and then I have been kind of studying this for a while- and I just study the market place of ideas, and, unlike my how long cans last yeah? Well, how long can the east, in the West Coast, sort of ignore or the middle of the country from an entertainment standpoint, what they can do it What I'm saying is I'll. Give you I'll give you an example that I will cite two b
if you would have looked on the Itunes top one hundred podcast less five seven years ago, you didn't see you would see Bencher Para, that be the only conservative voice on the whole thing. Now, there's fourteen right good, that's on thy tunes less so you have got fell crushing late night. You know you have the daily. Why have these places in me? I mean I was a saw some some some stat, that you know Joe Rogan and Tucker Karlsson, two biggest media guys right now terms of just volume listener ship and, unlike those, are couple of free thinkers. So how long can you keep the
control and I think the answer is it's. The grip is loosening. I mean Fox Tucker, Karlsson crushes whatever shows on CNN. That's what's happening so at some point: it's not that HBO or net flax or any those assholes will ever or Sundance whatsoever embrace you or me, someone's gonna have to cross their own Sundance for people parlor or whatever? It is twitter, you, you know what I'm saying so do there this will give rise to other than Britain. Basically, what you ve got is a civil war, yeah yeah Two countries, if two groups right out of a country can function yeah. Well, to me. It's like you know. It's funny me doctor, drew Mark arrogance.
I look at ever. Everyone is kind of a free thinker and that that group marks a Democrat No one's welcome on CNN anymore, discuss. We have ideas, my tone I mean it's like so there and what have you? But you see you seen on television, you see MSNBC Cnn, it's it's! It's literally the same script from one show to the next, at top to bottom same Sing cliches same same beaches and then you go to Fox and an eye to Adam I swear to you. I don't know how people don't it is you go to an up, and I watch. I love total Karlsson. I'm a big Fox guy I don't know how you can watch Fox and think that they are crazy people and I try to be Objec about ill
Carlson's Nazi. You were talking to call em like you know, if you listen to the guy, if you really listen to what he says, it's pretty practical stuff, pretty logical stuff and you go to see another msnbc and it's the same exact thing. every night. Amendment trump is president: how many times can you me. Trump is the devil. We different ways. Can you tell me to an end and what they were they buy and that's the problem you don't you you can give you an example. Let you go you might not? I've been up my my My sister has a friend and liberal and
my sister will show this person shall say the friendly say: five million people died from covert yesterday and my sister goes. No five. Five did not that's not true. Look five. This is this is off the CDC website. Five. We now know that now that that's republican talking point here, Is a blindness to them? I don't know, that's why I think the split! Isn't it tree and no matter what I say to anybody else? I cannot convince you trump good or bad. You hate him. He tweets too much he's a crazy man. He's volatile he's all those things that you think this is not very presidential guy, but you can't What he did for the country was pretty damn good, the kids,
rate anymore Trump Trump big, I think, became the m, the split, the guy I great, that's when at all surrogate weapon eyes and yeah, I was funny, it's it's funny, especially when you get to know a guy like Tucker Karlsson, you'll go, others great guy noise is growing old man of a couple of tongue you these are, it is like a fright. Guy he's a Guy ISIS, these a thoughtful guy and but I dont know what people you know it's funny. The two guys I know really well, one is Jimmy Kimmel one is Tucker curls and in the both very sweet guys, the both very nice guys. I never get people still talk together? How air- and he doesn't are you with now interesting work, good friends, there's a way to do it? Of course you
just get on with it. Not I mean either. Mark arrogance is very progressive. Guy we get off your best friend. the way to do it, you just, but you can't call the other guy. You disagree with. You can say a person disagree with UK common Nazi than there's a problem and that's the problem. the cigar shop that I go to when I smoke by bodies and his right his Think when it comes down to people, it's all bullshit in the cigar shop is white, guys black eyes, persian guys asian guys or I may all different life and some of them are some of the more conservative. Some of them are liberals and we go on it and we make fun of each other you know that when we come in, they say up. Everybody get your shit out there like the cake he case here we may even we may we make we may black yokes at them wrangling and but we're friends,
we mess with each other. We joke with each other and. who argue with each other and get into with each other conversations over the net think somebody says you guys can be anymore. Ok, how I put so I feel that when you get people together whatever ratio, whenever religion, you would have when you get them together and sit down everybody's pretty, all the media, the media is is a despicable machine and they ferment all of this- and I don't know what the game. We don't out of its division. Division causes ratings, create ratings. I don't know, but I am. choose not to live my life like I'll talk to anybody- and you know what I am I am.
