Adam Carolla | The Ben Shapiro Show Sunday Special Ep. 8 

chris cromeyn I agree. However I was surprised I detected Ben being more deferential than I expected. If I were face to face with either of them I would act like an embarrassing fan boy. Mr Shapiro was an excellent host. He laughed politely and provided much seemingly positive body language. Whatever the reason, this was the best interview of Adam I've heard in a long time.

Hit it on the head. Anyone can ask good questions, their are writers a plenty for that... but the ability to give them the space to answer and speak to be themselves, without an agenda to prove with a hack job edit, is truly refreshing.

I like both Ben and Adam tremendously, but you don't so much interview Adam as you just listen to him😀

I prefer Rogan's interviewing skills better. The interactions seems more organic and sincere. Ben's interviews seem too formal and insincere.

@@QualityQman They're just two completely different people on opposite ends. Rogan may be the best all time interviewer of this social media world. Its more loose and relaxed. But he's not afraid to test is guest. Rogan smokes weed during some of his interviews. Its impossible to compare him to Ben

Brian Root you don't invite Adam Carolla to not talk.

Fuck that. He'd rule wars for Israel are constitutional

Brian Root well yeah!!!!

My sentiments exactly. When people go off on long winded stories there is a temptation to stop them and redirect the conversation along the lines of the initial direction of the interview. In this instance I thought it was very worth while to just let Adam off the chain to roam. Great interview!

He actually stepped on the last sentence of a 15min story about 37:15 in. Either that or it was just a bad abrupt cut

Construction IS SUCCESS!

This interview can teach high school and college kids more about the world than they learn in 8 years of school

Check out the Corolla podcast. Most of it is him talking straight forward

Slow and go on the 405, look out for brake lights. Anyone approaching the southbound 101 to I-5 exchange, look out: mattress in lanes. Now for the weather: Van Nuys: 77, Reseda: 77, Thousand Oaks: 77, Riverside: 77, Golden Gardens: 77, Anaheim: 77, and last but not least we got Yorba Linda checking in, reporting a balmy, balmy, balmy 77 degrees Fahrenheit.

It's worth listening to old episodes of loveline from early 2000s. All on youtube.

"Iam the king" -any man who needs to remind others he is king, is no king at all.. -Tywin..

And the ideal was that you did good deeds but didn't make a big deal and brag about it. Now you get to brag freely and do nothing.

Gwen Jonas, Everyone needs to be a winner nowadays. Bragging about whatever and getting some likes for it is the trophy.

my brother always told me that “if you have to constantly remind people how ‘nice’ you are, then you’re probably not very nice”. it all about optics these days, no genuine virtue required.

Virtue, virtual... easy mistake, or evil intent? find out multiple times per second, on a feed pushed on you!

*cough* Joe Rogan *cough-cough*

Mike Rowe is a phony. A bitter failed actor who plays a character to exploit ignorant people who want to blame the poor for keeping them from being rich.

greg H He's on episode 12.

@@JoeKnows44 I dont know him to do this, or find him bitter... How do you find him this way? Can you give me an example? I know him to promote both blue collar work and teaching people to be responsible for their own destiny.

@@VanIsleNuckFan Don't bother Joe is a troll. Click his profile, he's an avid Bernie supporter. He's only here to troll people.

Deenie Bear I’m always torn between watching them before or after church, usually I try to wait until after church to finish it!

A great thing about podcasts is we don't have to listen to them.

@@joeshmoe781 ?? Is that a backhanded comment or what haha

Your spot on.....i been listening to adam since early loveline....this dude has casually predicted so many things that have come true years later its insane. He predicted the ramp up of racism claims before obama took office....then years before hillary ran for office he predicted it would go from racism to sexist shit haha and look where we are at?! Haha its insane...and he gives himself zero credit haha

Want to hear something truly hysterical? Look up "Loveline Gay Morning Zoo". Then, search "Loveline kid sex problem" (it's actually titled 'kid has a sex problem', but RU-vid won't let you look for that). I've never laughed so hard in my life.

wrthrash watching paint dry is better than cable. Lol

RU-vid took over the world

@かつしんりゅう人づて u funny

Mornin! :)

TACOBOY51 very nice way to end the week

Kimmels got late stage TDS. Very hard to cure

Hollywood has Kimmel by the balls. He had to abide by their liberal agenda or else.

Could Kimmel bring his writers with him?

James Harrelson Kimmel wouldn’t go near Shapiro! His virtue signaling would look foolish in a real conversation.

WickedRoller:. Kimmel embraces it. I now find him insufferable, he's not forced to do anything. His idiotic, self righteous speeches come from the heart, but his head is nowhere to be found.

wyndwalker ....... SINCE WHEN!!!? I hate the suspense!

the proper response is, "the suspense is terrible. i hope it lasts."

I was surprised that he said "poor people"...it's just people who need money who take these jobs. Back in the '70s and '80s boys trying to help pay for college took these jobs. These types of jobs are hard and used to pay 3-4x minimum wage. Then the construction companies, corporate farmers, etc figured out they could pay *less* than minimum wage to migrants. This is how it all started. It's not that Americans wouldn't take these jobs...they just couldn't take them for $2/hour

Exactly, entry level unskilled people. Really low IQ people like 76-83 could get it done

Cut the welfare payments and food stamps and there should be plenty of people lining up to dig ditches...

I think he was sort of describing himself. Wasn’t belittling people was talking from a personal perspective

Jaime Resendiz I tweeted a picture of ben in his judge robe to trump

"...we have finished our thorough investigation into this case, and have come to the following verdict: BUT FIRST A MESSAGE FROM OUR SPONSORS BABY WIPES NICE CLEAN ASSHOLE YUMMY YUMMY!"

The don’t call it the jew-dicial system for nothin!

@the dude.. spot on! That's hilarious! But first: SHAPIRO FOR SCOTUS

Nooooo. Then I won't get to listen to his insightful daily perspective into politics and culture!

Absolutely - While Adam is a clear comic genius, I think Norm is almost unparallelled!

and old Harold Delaney would agree

Colten Claybrook his Puma's 🔥🔥🔥!

I don't think people should refer to the success of celebrities to prove or disprove the existence of white privilege. Celebrities are the exception to most rules, so it's hard to extrapolate how their lives work to the average person.

Corey, I think you mistake the thrust of my comment. Sadly, celebrities have become today's thought leaders. This fact was never so clear as when Trump's approval rating among blacks skyrocketed after Kayne West tweeted a picture of himself in a MAGA hat. Adam discussed that well before any whiff of celebrity entered his life, he had ascertained the secret to success - work hard, don't have children you can't pay for, strive to wait to have children until you are married, etc. When hard-working celebrities (and no doubt both Carolla and Kimmel are examples of tenacity in the industry, not some thirteen year old model discovered by a casting agent in a shopping mall)... when they carry water for the left's narrative, they, as today's cultural leaders, help excuse so many people making poor life choices. Worse, when they actually promote/glamorize poor choices with their song lyrics or their art or their commentary, they contribute to the problem. Growing up and living in the poor, rural South for 51 years, I see a wasteland of human potential - and make no mistake, the poor white families around here are just as decimated as the poor black families. Someone on television or radio or the Internet needs to speak up. Why do you think Jordan Peterson has become a world-wide phenomenon? He's on television and the internet and not afraid to say you've made your own mess. It's time for people like Jimmy Kimmel to wake up to this fact, and it's people like his friend Carolla best able to point this out to him.

Working hard, making positive life choices, and not having children you can't afford are not just Conservative values; they are practically universal. No one is claiming that white male privilege is going to magically allow you to be successful. Hard work is still the best way to get ahead but that doesn't mean that coming from a certain background or having a certain skin color will never give you any advantages. There is at least some truth in both the Left's and the Right's narratives. I agree that celebrities shouldn't be looked to as thought leaders as much as they are in our society, but I don't think most celebrities, including Jimmy Kimmel, are encouraging people to make bad life choices. Just complaining that people have shitty values placing blame on those you think are responsible isn't going to make anyone any smarter. Going out of your way to help people who are disadvantaged by directly helping them or trying to make structural changes to society is not the same thing as encouraging laziness.

I suppose you'll need to show me the evidence that people making good life choices are nevertheless being stymied because of their skin color or backgrounds. I'm not seeing that in my life here among a wide variety of people and income groups, nor are great researchers and economists like Thomas Sowell finding this to be true (read Discrimination and Disparities). Carolla is a prime example of someone with a really negative background taking the "bull by the horns" and changing his family story. Everyone I know is bending over backwards to help people willing to work hard no matter what their skin color, and as someone who volunteered with a highly successful youth theatre for many years, I saw so many opportunities for underprivileged children go untapped. Once, we held a camp in a rec center that had more staff members than campers. We brought in an adult staff of 3 and a teen intern staff of 12 … all for 8 campers. Meanwhile, middle and upper class families paid top dollar for sold out camps with 75 children per camp. I don’t believe that America is full of selfish, heartless people stepping on those less fortunate, and I think it’s up to our cultural leaders to shift the conversation and not allow people to wallow in some esoteric, often comforting vision of being kept down by their skin color or their circumstances “Blame” is a negative term for what I prefer to call a healthy dose of shame. The left refuses to "blame" people for their choices, but at some point, you must say, "It is shameful to have children when you cannot emotionally AND financially care for them." Instead, people like Kimmel blame "the federal government" for not taking care of children, and he particularly points to Conservatives and Libertarians who do not believe that the federal government should raise children. You suggest that these values are universal, but I disagree. I see a nightly barrage of leftists refusing to put shame or blame in even the tiniest fraction of the lives of those making the mistakes. Whether they (like you) can agree to this personally and privately doesn't matter. They refuse to go on record in the public sphere and make what could be live-changing statements to people poised to make what could be super destructive choices.

This exchange should be posted above all comments sections, as a paradigm. No bullshit insults, no braying slogans. Whoever you two people are, be assured: people read this stuff and even though it's a drop in the ocean, it's at least a drop of the right stuff.

Has that caught on? I pee in my sink at home by using an old cup and pouring it right down the drain and rinse it down with some cold water.. Yay for conservation!

I have been peeing in the back yard (on a fruit tree), in the sink, in the shower, etc ever since I was a kid. There were seven kids in a house with two bathrooms, so we all improvised a lot. When ever I see someone who has no problem peeing in a backyard, I assume they come from a large family, hahahahaha

Bill BurrFan I come from a small family (just me & my mom). I’ve watered more bushes & rinsed out more sinks than I can count. I just assumed it was a man thing. I also find the balcony to be convenient at 2 AM.

Who says conservatives are not eco friendly? Conservation is our name.

tawpgk it's best enjoyed when you're at someone else's house.

What happened to Kimmel? He's becoming a chick. Adam said that would happen. In 50 years we'll all be chicks. Who would have thought his Man Show partner would be one of them?

cringe

Sean yeesssssssss

SHUT UP I WAN´T THAT BIRCH GOLD

I think Ben interrupting the interview to recite some lines promoting a product is worth more shekels than just the pre-taped ads. It's a lot like watching a Batman movie and having him jump out of character to pop open and down a refreshing can of Coke. Imagine what Coca Cola would pay for something like that.

Sean. Donate a few thousand dollars so they don't need adds.

ya know what fellas, I didn't actually consider the fact that live reads would be more profitable. So fair enough
