All of Pops Carolla's appearances from The Adam Carolla Project TV show which aired on TLC in 2005.

[@joewoe1977]

His dad has a sharp sense of humor and improv skills. You can see Adam trying to outdo him with references but he rolls with it.

[@StephenWillard1]

Yeah I've listened to thousands of hours of Adam between Loveline and podcasts...he's never credits his dad for the humor and improv

[@johnviera3884]

No he doesn’t. Adam gave him a podcast and it was so bad it was canceled immediately

[@CertifiedShadetree]

Yah, hullo?

[@funsun7768]

Adam's Dad is a really cool great guy. Obviously he loves his son. Great show he had here!! Wow!!

[@ILiveAndBreathe]

adam should thank his father he inherited strong comedic skills from him ; )

[@cfryjoff77]

Dads say the darn-dist things ha. Watching this vid reminds me of the house my Dad built so many years ago. Wish I could be there again. I left there at the age of three, and It's been 38years but I still have every square inch of that house in my head.

[@michaelhorner4011]

I bet his dad did not even pay a penny over $39,500 for that house when he bought it.

[@negativeindustrial]

It was give to him by a family member.

[@JaneDoe-zr4px]

"He was decorated by both sides" LOL

[@retardexposer1385]

I like his dad. He talks a little too much shit about him on air. Love the ace man.

[@speedingpenguin]

He does seem like a nice guy, but it seems pretty clear from listening to Adam over the years that Jim wasn’t much of a dad when Adam was growing up. When Adam did the driving tour of his neighborhood when he was growing up and points out how his dad would sit in the living room reading while Adam played football in the high school stadium literally right across the street, that kinda sums it all up. I suspect that if Jim had gone to a few of his games, Adam might not be so bitter about his childhood.

[@D-Fens_1632]

The house doesn't look nearly as shitty as he's always described it on the show.

[@slappyhappy6192]

Adam's contempt for his family is understandable, tragic, and heart wrenching all wrapped into one big ball of shit. Sorry Adam. I would speak up on it too with that much torture. He would be a much happier man if his parents were halfway there. But also paycheck to paycheck like most people from decent homes, all homes.

[@DutchDiederik]

He's relentless and brutal about his folks on his radio shows. It's funny most of the time but sometimes it's more resentful than funny.

[@tankimus]

That cost is insane

[@speedingpenguin]

You mean “that cost is California”

[@philpolanco]

739 in 2005?!!? Yikes

[@mnsohseven]

I preferred the house before!

[@JamesCampbellPPG]

Jim is pretty good at improv. Must be where Adam gets it.

[@christianterrill3503]

He is a shrink of course he is good at improv

[@ktothec24]

Adam says his dad always had a sense of humor .. and that was about it.

[@RexCars1]

Yes.. You can see how Jim got Adam to be funny

[@cristianzor_scs]

The old man is funny, Thanks for posting the video

[@joliedavis6834]

In his younger years...Jim Corolla was a Jazz musician. He went back to school to become a PHD Psychologist and started his own private practice. (I know this for a fact because I was in his therapy group for 2 years) Even tho Adam Corolla often described his dad as a miserable, apathetic deadbeat father...the truth is he loved his dad and ultimately made him a significant part of his life. Adam offered his father his own radio show, gave him over $750,000 for his childhood home, and included his dad in social gatherings with his wife, kids and friends. Adam Corolla maintained negative sarcasm about his father in order to keep his podcast ratings up, (he said so himself) but in real-life, he showed a different side of himself.

[@slappyhappy6192]

That house is literally 170k in Florida. Wtf man.

[@bsm6776]

slappy happy supply/demand

[@negativeindustrial]

It’d be like $70k in Texas and as low as $30k in Ohio. LA is ridiculously expensive - pretty much why people and corporations are fleeing that POS state in record numbers.

[@daw162]

People just want the lot.

[@DoctorSkillz]

That house would be worth 170K if it came with a pool.

“I remember that X” 😂😅

[@tmac8892]

This is unusual, as Adam doesn't like to talk about himself.

[@frankperdue6585]

Get it on 😎🤭

[@charlie.something]

750 for that pos? holy shit.

[@negativeindustrial]

He tends to be a perfectionist?!? Not the way Adam had been telling it on the air at least once a month for the last 25 years that I know of.

[@-PrimeTime-]

More like every other topic. Shit is getting old you know

[@alexshaw7618]

Adam is a great man and a great example of the American dream

[@philpolanco]

Old man carolla is a pretty funny dude!!!

[@crunkbunk9882]

I always wanted to see adam's dad lol

[@joshwashington6605]

He's nothing like I assumed based on Adam's description. I should've knew better lol...

[@PirataEscondido]

Oh yeah

[@dEviNMichael]

This is golden lmao....

[@brainphelps1994]

lol adam listing all the ways his dad saved money not paying for adam's childhood and Jim says well i created you what do you charge for birth? He makes a good point!

[@milesnetkow8293]

$740k for that?!

[@TheodoreJudah]

Miles Netkow - Welcome to California!

[@johnstitt3717]

You can also add another $200k to that figure now

[@garycobiak5926]

That's LA

[@mumenrider862]

@@johnstitt3717 and he talks about his mom and stepdad selling their house for 1.5 million and they bulldozed it to build new on the lot. lol I don't think that's the same house.

[@lsh3rd]

Hell, yeah!

[@barbo4129]

Comedy gold!

[@DrLumpy]

Adam's dad seems very comfortable working the comedy bits. He's better at it than Dr Drew. It's easy to see the apple-fell-tree.

[@donniedarko1498]

Adam describe his father as lethargic most of time in 2024 podcasts, but i see Alot of Jim in Adam and Adam in Jim

[@DrLumpy]

Mr Carolla could have played "The Man Show Grandpa"

[@DrLumpy]

Three quarters of a million for a 1200 sq foot home that you're going to demolish. Spend another half million remodeling it and you're left with a 1200 sq ft home in N Hollyghetto with overhead power lines and a backyard pool the size of an SUV. Good Times!

[@JaneDoe-zr4px]

That tiny old house going for $750,000? Christ, only in Southern CA.

[@vonwolly2]

I used to listen to Adam do Mr. Bertram I used to laugh my ass off. And love line where he would do those skits incredible. Pretty conservative advice when it came to sex.

[@909sickle]

I'm so confused. When his dad goes on his show, he seems senile, humorless, and completely out of it. But here his dad has a strong sense of humor and situational awareness. So which is real?

[@daakrolb]

This show was 15 years ago..

[@cardiffchris]

Old Man Trump-Ola

[@xandercrews4729]

We’re sure Adam wasn’t adopted?

[@bsm6776]

Doesn’t Adam talk about being poor as a kid? That house was probably nice in the 70’s

[@negativeindustrial]

no name No, it wasn’t. It’s 1300ft2. It was a shitbox.

[@daw162]

II think he lived in several places, but one of them was 640 square feet or something. He and dr drew were talking about looking at the smaller house, and dr. drew would laughing about it, despite the fact the he's usually careful about appearing to be compassionate.

[@ktothec24]

Nah noho in the seventies and eighties was not what it is now . His mom was on welfare and his dad didn’t do much beside read books in the corner and act spineless

[@bsm6776]

Neg Ative 1300 is average

[@garycobiak5926]

Never Beard him say poor. He just refutes the white privilege nonsense.

[@iusedyourtowel6765]

So fake. The camera was already in the house when Adam knocks?

[@mikemcghee2460]

House isn’t worth 7500$

[@robulmer8387]

Hes not a pussy Adam. Hes a little out of it though

[@Just__a_Guy]

Listening to all the shit Adam talks about Jim, then seeing this, A LOT less inclined to believe him.

[@mikey2toes966]

Ya I remember on LoveLine him constantly calling his dad a pussy.

[@rosihantu1]

Adam was a pretty boy

[@judewishedhimselfout]

They ruined a classic mid-century house and made it look like crap.

[@habanerofg2]

It’s amazing to think, 19 years ago Ace and his dad seem to be best friends! Now, Adam is very harsh about him. What’s changed? Oh yea, his dad now has trump derangement syndrome and doesn’t understand why Adam doesn’t have it.

[@jackp9570]

And trumpet derangement syndrome

[@ahappyimago]

Adam has been bashing his dad since 1990s Loveline it’s just part of his shticks
