[MUSIC] From Corolla One Studios in Glendale, California, this is the Adam Corolla Show. Adam's guest today, Anthony Scaramucci. Plus the news with me, Mike Dawson, and now, Adam Corolla. Yeah, get it on, got to get on a choice, we're going to mandate, get it on. Welcome back to the show, the Mooch, Anthony Scaramucci's got a book. It's out as we speak, all the wrong moves, have three catastrophic decisions. Led to the rise of Trump, and again, it is out as we speak. And Anthony's written, I guess this is sixth book, is that correct? Yeah, it's sixth, sixth. I mean, the first political one, the rest of them have been trade books. But first of all, it's awesome to be back on the show with you, you know, I'm sending you lots of love. And by the book, you know, the book is not, you would like the book, Adam, because it's not that partisan. It's just economic and political observation of both parties trying to do their best and making some decisions that just went not in the direction that they thought they were going to go in, which has led to some of this collapse of living standards of lower and middle-income people. So again, not a partisan book, just more of an economic observation. Well, that is your field of expertise. And, you know, as I think about it, we talk a lot about the government these days, and, you know, what they're going to do and what they're not going to do. I kind of missed the part where we didn't talk about them so much. You just sort of went about, you know, they weren't that involved. I'll give you an example. You tell me, you tell me. I was trying to watch some Monday night football last week, and the bare -- I don't think -- San Francisco was beating. Well, look it up. But the point is, is the entire drive was consumed with penalties. It was like holding flags got dropped, flags got picked up, you know, hit the quarterback step too late, using too many hands. Now it's interference. Now it's like the Rams lost a real tight game like game three. The guy intercepted the ball down by the goal line, but then there was laundry. He put his hands on him. It was a bad call. Like, I don't want the rest of that involved. I just want -- I want to let him play a little bit. I don't want entire drives being decked in -- the bears had an entire drive, I think, that was all penalties. They just marched down the field on -- they converted all their third downs on ticky-tack penalties. And I know sometimes you think, well, which team are you rooting for, that'll dictate which penalties you like. But I just, in general, liked when the refs just sort of stood back a little bit. And I feel the same way about government.
