Montel Williams on Cannabis, PTSD, and Skilled Labor

Montel Williams meets up with Adam in Florida for a special 1-on-1 interview. They chat about Montel’s history on daytime TV and his extensive military background. Montel also discusses how the use of cannabis has helped him as he recalls being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 1999. The two also talk about various FDA and pharmaceutical regulations. Montel then chats about briefly dating Kamala Harris before the guys dive deeper into discussions about technology, PTSD, and what the government can do to help veterans.

Montel is such a nice, cool guy.

[@Freakazoid12345]

He dated Kamala Harris, right?

[@johnbookout3535]

I had no idea Montel was so accomplished! A true Renaissance man!

[@hankhanson6922]

Fantastic interview with Montel.

[@A-yg2xe]

Great show. Thanks Adam. Loved listening to Montel again. It’s been a while.

[@thegaulbegaul]

Damn this is one of the best sit down one on one Adam Corolla shows ive seen in a long long time.

[@badlaamaurukehu]

Should be a regular show.

[@Chris-of6xm]

I was born in 84, remember growing up watching Montel. He looks great man good to see him again

[@thedude1982]

Same, born in 82'

[@1983jcheat]

Same, born in 83. 😊

[@Chris-of6xm]

Hey! Were the last gen that remembers life before cell phones. Barely.

[@300yrdWink]

Everyone remember when Montel took VP Kamala Harris as a date to an awards show, along with another blonde chick both dressed like complete whores.

[@edgarpoe517]

It looks like Montel hasn't aged since then either.

[@veetors]

Montel! Great to see him.

[@rcyalater...2305]

Wasn't even going to watch this episode, never knew much about the man, but good, interesting interview. Respect for Montel

[@TrollHunterxXx]

Love Montel … why is Adam in FL? Just happy he fits in his podcast for us little guys

[@noahschmartz2354]

had gig i think

[@davidperez5089]

He's dancing salsa, what else?

[@Boomer69536]

Looking for a house?

[@antlerking69]

He's searching out pineapple upside down cake

[@funkspinna]

Looking for a new place to move to after he leaves Commiefornia?

[@photosolutions8618]

Man, I really enjoyed this interview and getting to know Montel better. I had such a limited impression of him as just a daytime tv show adjacent to Mauri or Jerry Springer. His life resume is admirable and can carry a conversation with insightful content, unlike some other tv personalities that are disappointing outside of their tv studio where producers tell them what to say so they come across smarter or more interesting than they really are. Great interview.

[@BigginsInAmerica]

Hundreds of daytime TV talk show hosts came and went but the one who always lasted was the military plant. Good way to start the show.

[@Jeffbambam]

I always admired Montel I remember in the 90s saying why isn't this guy President? Montel is a hard worker and extremely intelligent with a great personality. AMERICA NEEDS THIS MAN !

[@HWG-wm8ld]

He endorsed Hillary and Joe, you want him to be president.

[@epel4416]

Watched Montel almost every day when I got home from school. 💪

[@johnsmith-mz9hh]

The montel Holocaust episode is wild and should be watched.

[@tobe1207]

Idk why i read it as "the montel holocaust". Like its only him and montel Jordan left, they wiped all the other montels out

[@richardcranium5048]

I built my house 2200ish sq. ft. over a 2 year period with, (we're talking about the frame, getting it in the dry) about 90% scrap/salvage lumber. Then spend just under 2 years building, pay as you go for material to finish. So just under 4 years, very nice house no payment. We did this in large part by living on the property in a small pull behind camper, and operating day to day on a very tight budget 15 year's ago. I understand it would be beyond difficult for a young couple to replicate that now... I have a small construction company and I mean small, myself and 3 full-time employees. Every week I get at least one call from someone who will to be moved up on the waiting list offer to pay me at least double. Sadly the list is what it is and your place on it is written in stone. If you wonder why I wouldn't just hire more. I am not willing to give up the time required to keep them working

[@matthewjohnson7759]

The only reason I watched this was to here a storie about Kamala

[@adamantiumbomb]

Is Montel aware that John C. Reilly's character Dale from the movie 'Stepbrothers' (2008) reads his book 'Climbing Higher' at night before bed?! 😂👍

[@israelendalk]

HAY EVERY TIME I SEE THIS DUDE... CAMEL TOE KAMELA IS ON MY MIND... DOES HE HAVE ANY PICS???

[@Jordan-zj9oe]

I was thinking the same thing, and I came to the comments to post about it and thought I'd see who was on the same page.. it really is stuck in my head

[@thejohnbeck]

Why? Did he call her out on doing a horrible job?

[@lucken13]

Love Montel!!! But I am a Vet like he is! Remember watching his show during the 90s in Korea with the Army!!!!

[@HWG-wm8ld]

He endorsed Hillary and voted for joe. That’s not what a veteran does.

[@user-tb1fq5db3o]

Motel was always a great guy and showed so much respect to his guests

[@stevenpersinger6577]

Love me some montel. Ive been screaming about the benefits from cannibus from the rooftops for over 30 yrs. It can save America

[@MrSpaceace1999]

Ya ok , NOT

[@MrSpaceace1999]

Ya, cannabis, really helped you, causing you to scream some rooftops for 30 years sounds like it really helped

[@RILEYLEIFSON_UTAH]

I'm gonna go ahead and check NO on that...✔️ But now I know who you are as a person.

[@Petebootyfudge5312]

Weed saves america? 😂

[@stevenpersinger6577]

@Petebootyfudge5312 yes it produces more than a high. It makes oils,papers, textiles, look up and do some research. It helps prevent diseases and addictions to opiods and big pharmaceutical. Listen to what Montel just said. It's more than something you ingest. It creates plastics and paints and it's natural. 1 acre of hemp produces more than 4 acres of trees in just 3 months. It has history.

[@reyalsnogard8289]

Another Awesome and Very Valuable Conversation 👍👍

[@audreys5651]

Love Montel, watch his show all the time.

[@laurareck4149]

Love Montel. Been watching both of you for DECADES !!! ❤❤❤

[@unkorichie2029]

I went into the Navy as a Boiler Tech..did my time, got out and worked in large pharmaceutical manufacturing, which requires lots of boilers. Large sign on bonuses, cash and stock awards, large annual bonuses. Was able to retire, in Southern California at 48..now living the dream on a large homestead in North/Central Florida!🤙🏽🤙🏽

[@donaldhop889]

Ask him about heels up Harris

[@300yrdWink]

It’s Kneepad Harris 😂😂

[@piffpete420]

Steady and positive voice of my childhood

[@ajrob77]

GREAT conversation. Montel has such an interesting story (and I loved learning about his father)

[@danawelch3985]

I loved watching Montel. I am so happy to see him doing so well.

[@charlockprime]

Excellent episode. Very cool to see and hear that Montel is doing as well as he is. Hopefully he can become a somewhat regular guest.

[@ricks.1779]

Sorry Ace Man, Maybe in California schools are backwards, but my school has vocational training programs and counselors who guide students to either college, the military or (gasp) trade schools.

[@Jankybro]

I love you guys so much please don't ever stop doing this podcast

[@secretweaponevan]

I love Montel's language. OUR forefathers. When WE went out West.

[@beingolde2521]

I was part of the Youth Conservation Corps during the summers starting at age 15. it was first started by lottery…anybody could enroll…it was a melting pot of kids. It payed minimum wage for 30 hours of work and 10 hours we got to learn from rangers about our parks and the environment. It changed my life! I then became a youth leader for 2 years and at age 16 and 17. Those two years it was based on need. The program changed dramatically because it was mostly teens that didn’t want to be there. I think it was still good but drastically different and rough. I think the first year was an example of national service and it opened up my world to other kids, rich to poor..etc. I truly believe this is needed but done right. As a woman of 62, I can build a shed, understand fire trails needed for fire control and more than I can list. Every teen should go through something like a nation service like this…but would it ever happen now?

[@badlaamaurukehu]

Not while kids are being raised to be allergic to everything.

[@missybebe1231]

Still looking good Montel .. good to see him .. I loved watching his show .. Kamala Harris ex .. 😂

[@michaelhuyge9881]

Interesting guest. Uncommon seeing an African American man advocating for marijuana. Unique and refreshing 👍🏻

[@christopherdeisher754]

Uncommon??? Most of the black dudes I know love weed!!! In fact, weed is the preferred drug in the black community. I don’t know many black guys using heroine and meth!! Your comment must have been satire… 🤣

[@michaelhuyge9881]

... actually, sarcasm 👍🏻

[@MistySnow-zf1un]

Im in love this guy.. job core what a stallion.. so crazy. I fell upon this .. MONTEL LIFE

[@anthonyhoh5073]

What a great interview nice pull Ace!

[@rpg_haven]

Awesome interview. Love that you're embracing lo-fi means of production. The conversation is what matters most!

[@johnsmith-mz9hh]

Dont tell Montel the REAL punchline of the Jamaican Joke "How many jobs do you have?" 🤫😆

[@jamesalexander8872]

...?

[@SadisticPicker]

Montel looks great! I really miss his show honestly! Awesome to see his face and bame pop up in my feed! Had to stop and watch of course….. not that i wouldn’t anyhow🤷🏼😝😂😜🤘😎

[@s.m.fveritas4931]

Montel gets it! I'm glad to hear he's spreading the word.

[@Susan-yc7ij]

Thanks Ace for all the up loads this week . Been busy catching up.

[@marky657]

I always liked Motel Williams and I think so many other people should benefit from his wisdom. Great talk Adam you are the best.

[@markmcla]

Montel is a great man! His mention of the endocannabinoid system in our human bodies is fascinating. I can see why medical marijuana could be so helpful for autoimmune conditions. We definitely need more research!

[@Youareme42o]

This was a great listen and much respect to Montel and Adam that is all thanks 😊.

[@jimwoodard64]

Great discussion! Love Montel and so great to see he's still pushing for good and right.

[@richarddestefano6162]

Great interview. Best in a while! Thank you.

[@frankreichl679]

the pot issue is , If you use pot for medicinal purposes most people are fine with it. The problem with pot is it stays in your system too long to tell if you're high at the moment and you have had an accident, unlike alcohol which is easier to tell if you're drunk. Also, Big pharm doesn't like anything if it works too well because there's not enough money in it.

[@badlaamaurukehu]

Same reason many med schools only really skim over the nutrition/metabolic curriculum these days and dispensed with the Hippocratic oath.

[@kenh.5903]

Doesn't really matter who the guest is Adam always talks about himself

[@ferdinandalexander8053]

Agreed! Always bitching about his parents, not realizing he’s a product of their dysfunction.

[@Kokomadeta]

Who's show is this?

[@ferdinandalexander8053]

@@Kokomadeta Perhaps he shouldn’t have any guests. Let’s see how that goes.

[@dougsherman1562]

Montel was cool, I liked his show. He always seemed to be reasonable and intelligent. Glad to see he's doing well.

[@mattwuxx3888]

Montel has fought off a lot and is still dealing with a lot of serious illnesses back in the day and now. He's still out there fighting, looks great, has his head screwed on straight, does not fall for the latest political fads and tells it like it is, unlike a lot of the mushy go-along-to-get-along mush-brains we see on daytime TV today. He is to be commended and respected.

[@BornAHawkEye]

Montel always had a certain amazing energy about him that I always liked I hope he doesn't turn out to be everything I hate in Hollywood........

[@BornAHawkEye]

So far sounds legit

[@neodutch]

What some call PTSD, I call nostalgia.

[@billc8886]

My PTSD can be extremely debilitating!! The panic attacks are the worst. Feels like I'm literally dying!

Yep, bidens a racist.

He voted for biden

[@lillydon1510]

Montel thank you so much for opening up and sharing your experience with the doctors and the opioids. Sometimes I forget the doctors did that to everyone and not just my generation, old school millennials. And I’m so glad you were able to recognize what was going on with the addiction and doctor shopping to where you broke out of that system. Many many of my friends and loved ones were not able to get out and unfortunately they are not on this earth anymore. You just talking about it and sharing your experience helps more people than you could imagine. It’s a very hard system to break out of so I’m glad you were able to. So thank you THANK YOU Montel for sharing that with us!!! Amazing show as always Adam, thank you and keep em coming.

[@IamReallySanta]

I like his books..."Mountain Get Out Of My Way" and the follow up "Hair Get Off of My Head"

Montel was everywhere thirty years ago. Who knew he'd wear the same shirt from 1994?

That shirt is fire. Noticed it right away. It suits him.

Montel, should be talking about the Vise President

[@agethauno6592]

The title on this one should grab the attention of the combat veterans

Why? You like playing victim

[@agethauno6592]

@HWG-wm8ld if you've ever talked to a combat vet after they get out, they all smoke weed. I'm guessing your mom has downs syndrome. Just a guess.

It's always crazy when people in the military ended up passing away from these things that people who don't end up passing away from like the people I knew who passed away who took that pokey pokey

[@scarletbegonias4745]

There are several doctors in the US that have been looking at MS, along with several other conditions, through a whole new lens. It may seem out there to people because it's something that the rest of the world recognizes but it's strangely absent from American medicine. That thing would be parasites. For MS specifically, they have done autopsies on a number of people who had MS and they found parasites in 100% of them. It's not a huge number so far, a couple dozen I believe but the fact that they all had them is significant. US doctors are taught that we only get parasites if we travel to certain places outside the US and that's simply not true but since that is what's taught in our medical schools, doctors never consider parasites . If you try to talk to any doctors trained in the US about them, they will almost always completely reject the idea. Obviously more research needs done. There are several ways to treat parasites, some are natural and none are too costly. Anti-parasite drugs are also some of the safest drugs ever produced by pharma. The doctors that are in this arena believe they could be what's behind many conditions and if they are correct, a huge number of people will be helped.
