From Carolla One Studios in Glendale, California, this is The Adam Carolla Show.
Adam's guest today, the host of Fox News at Night, Trace Gallagher. Plus the news with me, Mike Dawson, and now, Adam Carolla.
Adam Carolla (2:20)
Yeah, get it on. Got to get it on, I'm sure we're going to have a minute to get it on. Thanks for tuning in, thanks for telling the friends.
Trace Gallagher also has a book out, Turns Out They Were Right All Along. It is out as we speak. Good to see you, Trace Gallagher.
Trace Gallagher (2:35)
Great to be here, Adam. Thank you for having me. I appreciate it very much.
Adam Carolla (2:40)
I appreciate you. I watch you on Fox all the time. I see you in the building on occasion.
Trace Gallagher (2:44)
There's an open chair for you, right? Anytime you want to come in, sit down, talk about whatever topic you think is top of mine, we would love to have you on.
Adam Carolla (2:53)
I would love to, and I will definitely take you up on it. I always, there's a lot of people have a lot of rules about stuff. Like, I do this, I don't do that. I've always just been like somebody. My number one answer when people go, why did you do that guy's podcast? I go, he asked. So I just went, fine, we'll figure it out. We'll make it happen.
Trace Gallagher (3:13)
We have very few rules. Our rules are that you come on, you say something interesting, be compelling and you have an open invitation.
Adam Carolla (3:20)
It's a misnomer and I get it all the time when people go, you go on those Fox shows, you echo their talking points, you read from the script and you cash the check and you leave. I always go, you don't get paid and they don't tell you what to say. But other than that, you're two for two.
Trace Gallagher (3:40)
The opposite I would say because you actually give us talking points. There was something you were talking about a couple of weeks ago, where you went to a beach and you were talking about the signs at the beach, where in the old days you would have a sign at the beach that said, you know, do not bring your dog on the beach or something. And now the sign on the beach goes from, you know, one thing to 600 things that you cannot do on the beach.
