Sold my car on Carvana.

**SPEAKER_7** (1:18)
Amazing offer.

**SPEAKER_6** (1:19)
Really? I hit 200 on a scratcher. Did the scratcher come to your house and hand you a check?

**SPEAKER_7** (1:24)
No.

**SPEAKER_9** (1:24)
How many scratchers did you hit to get that?

**SPEAKER_6** (1:26)
I hit a button on carvana.com once.

**SPEAKER_10** (1:29)
Okay, that's fair.

**SPEAKER_3** (1:31)
It's like the lottery except you always win.

**SPEAKER_10** (1:34)
Not like the lottery at all, actually.

**SPEAKER_7** (1:36)
Exactly.

Inexplicably good. Offer's worth bragging about.

From Corolla One Studios in Glendale, California, this is The Adam Carolla Show. Adam's guest today, Dave Portnoy.
Plus the news with Elisha Krauss, and now, Adam Carolla.

**SPEAKER_4** (2:38)
Yeah, get it on, got to get it on.

**Adam Carolla** (2:40)
No choice but to get on, man. They should get it on. Thanks for tuning in, thanks for telling a friend. Love that about you. Dave Portnoy has joined us. He's got a book, Cancel Me If You Can. It is out as we speak. I think it was number one on the New York Times Best Seller List. Of course, Barstool Sports is where you know him from as well. Good to see you, Dave. Good to see you.
I like your story, and I'm a big fan of anybody who just generally pushing back against whatever our society is quickly becoming.
And I like your attitude about it, because the only attitude you can have with these people is fuck off. It can't be you misunderstand me or you don't get it. I have gay friends or my brother-in-law is black. It's just fuck you. That's the only thing that works on these people. So God bless you.

**Dave Portnoy** (3:33)
Well, I appreciate that. And it's not even really conscious. It's just that's like an East Coast sarcastic personality. So we've been doing it a long time. And it wasn't even, you know, before a lot of this stuff really came even to the forefront. It's just we didn't really take a step back. So it's been a long journey, but it's crazy journey, but happy we're here.

**Adam Carolla** (3:52)
Yeah. The only, like I said, the only posture is basically Dana White's posture with everybody and sort of Trump, because there was a time when you thought, well, I'll just apologize or explain myself and then I'll get these people to like me, but that's not how they roll.

**Dave Portnoy** (4:11)
Yeah. That's never the case. You give them an inch, they'll take the mile.
Once they sense weakness, forget about it.

**Adam Carolla** (4:17)
What are you, I was thinking about it, I'm pretty famous for your pizza reviews, but I was thinking about when I was driving around today, I was like, what's Portnoy like on his pizza?
What's the best topping? If you just walk in to a pizza joint and you get one slice and you could have anything you want on it, what do you get on it?
