**Adam Carolla** (1:08)
Good day, Allison Rosen.

**Alison Rosen** (1:09)
Hello, Adam Carolla.

**Adam Carolla** (1:10)
Good day, Paul Bryan. I hope you get raped by a thousand black men. Oh, I got some complaints.
Just got back off the road at El Paso.

**Bryan Bishop** (1:20)
This is a strange start to the week.

**Adam Carolla** (1:21)
I know. Houston, all that kind of stuff. Good crowds, good people, Phoenix, Arizona, all that. A couple things. First, Matt Porcelain Punisher, Fond du Lire. Go ahead and man that mic.
We were flying in, flying to, we had a great moment.
I make all my travel plans on the way to the airport. Matt was driving me and Mike August in to the airport on Thursday. I said, my flying first class, Matt? He said, no. I said, how long is this flight from LAX to Houston? It was like three hours and 20 something minutes. I said, seems like a pretty long flight. How come no first class? He said, Mike August said, nothing west of the Mississippi. Then Mike who was in the car said, I was just kidding. I said that like three years ago. I said, well, okay, evidently. First time it's come up though with us, Matt, right?

**Dave Dameshek** (2:22)
I've been booking your flights for a couple of years now.

**Adam Carolla** (2:23)
You've never brought it up before. But I feel like we do have a first class conversation on most of our things. Yeah, I always wanted. Why not the three hour plus flight? You say, hey boss, want to go first class, use up a few miles?

**Dave Dameshek** (2:35)
I was going by the Mississippi rule, which apparently doesn't exist.

**Adam Carolla** (2:37)
How come you never checked the Mississippi rule with me though?

**Dave Dameshek** (2:40)
I mean, we've gone over flight times all the time in the past, and that's the point.

**Adam Carolla** (2:44)
I go, give me like, can we get in first class? What do I always say?

**Dave Dameshek** (2:49)
Yeah, of course, upgrade to first class.

**Adam Carolla** (2:50)
Can we do it?

**Dave Dameshek** (2:51)
Yeah, I mean.

**Adam Carolla** (2:52)
We never had that discussion on this one, or maybe we did.

**Dave Dameshek** (2:55)
I know that I ran all the flights. Oh, all right. Like we have for every trip. I make the chart.

**Adam Carolla** (2:59)
All right, second. Remember, I then pulled out my priority pass select, my black and gold card, and I said, go online and check and see if this will get me into the United Lounge.
And you went online.

**Dave Dameshek** (3:14)
I did, on my phone.

**Adam Carolla** (3:15)
That was very impressive. I know. And you said what?

**Dave Dameshek** (3:18)
prioritypass.com had LAX listed, had United Airlines listed.

**Adam Carolla** (3:23)
And then I said what?

**Dave Dameshek** (3:25)
This is going to be even more ironic when I show up and I can't get into that pass.

**Adam Carolla** (3:29)
Right.

**Dave Dameshek** (3:29)
Or into that club.

**Adam Carolla** (3:30)
And then?

**Dave Dameshek** (3:30)
Well, was it?

**Adam Carolla** (3:32)
Scant 18 minutes later, I was standing in front of the nice lady. And by the way, it is gone. Whatever was in air travel, it's completely gone.
Mike August was keeping a no tally. I held up the priority pass and she said, Nope, we no longer accept those. Well, we merged with Continental and they accept them. There's always some bullshit thing where it's like, first off, please don't tell me all the places that do accept them because it's making things worse.
