Sean Penn - The Adam Carolla Show

[@cyclezack]

Who could be more down to earth and tuned into the common man than a celebrity who's lived in Los Angeles his entire life, been worshipped since he was 15, and a millionaire since he was 20

[@stonephilips9361]

Yep! That’s Adam Carolla 👍

[@DANALDTRAMP]

It's not like he married Madonna on a whim or anything.

[@wwbuirkle]

Met him a few times don't believe the hype

Believe it or not, those people are still privy to the human condition.

[@sonjabriseno3006]

I was incredibly disappointed with Sean Penn when he befriended and supported Hugo Chavez in Venezuela and attempted to convince America to be a socialist country!! He was always wrong and he would have never personally given up he wealth to live like the masses !! Socialism has never worked anywhere !! 🙂✌️🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@jaydee5447]

Sonja Briseno ...true Sonja...especially wouldn’t work here...but yes to your point it doesn’t work anywhere. With that said it would make every equal...equally poor

[@miophx8283]

Penn is worth 70 million. I wonder he would be willing to give up. Either way, if we had true Socialism, he would have his wealth stripped away.

[@13ivanogre13]

@@miophx8283 Can we give him credit for moving in the right direction? People can evolve.

Z The_Boxing_Cat Marxists belief systems do not work... key word is “work” living off of someone else efforts always collapse. I’m for supporting legit unions, if you can find one these days?

[@bkhunt69]

Yeah I'm happy he likes Uppity but he has done some total douchey things. Venezuela was one. Hollywood is so weird with that Socialism slant. Clooney moving back to LA from UK to be safe and live with armed guards is another.

[@nextexitgraff]

lol, he thinks Ford's testimony was truthful... dumbest thing I've heard this week, and it's only Monday.

[@mjkeating]

I was loving him until this point. But, to his credit, I think he's sincere though one wonders how.

[@kenhiett5266]

He is contractually obligated to believe Ford's testimony. Still not a good excuse.

[@UKtoUSABrit]

Not a fan of his, but listening to Sean Penn for 50 mins, he kind of won me over, UNTIL at 1:42:40 he said how he believed 100% of Blasey-Ford testimony re: Cavanaugh - and I switched off

[@subugatai7377]

You should have kept listening. It got worse. So much worse.

[@runrabbitrun4342]

I completely agree! He was doing so well, too.

[@waterhead1027]

Thanks for saving me the time. Considering her testimony even partially true would be laughable.

[@Hands2HealNow]

Just knowing that by way of your comment makes me wish I could chat with him about that opinion...But that said I love Noam Chopsky and he wants everyone to vote Joe Biden and as much as I'm a real Bill Of Rights liberal....But Fors was full of lies and the take down by Cafe Brule was excellent.

[@jeffmalm9708]

Should've stuck with the woodworking talk... It made mr. Penn almost likable.

[@jeffcrawford9955]

Should of stuck with that

[@bleacherz7503]

Penn’s comment on the blazy ford was out of left field - Adam was smart to keep the conversation directed at 70s California.

[@muximus2771]

I've always said that Carolla's ability to tolerate idiot celebs is supernatural. Can you imagine how intolerable it must be to be best friends with that jellyfish Jimmy Kimmel?? Ugh.

[@marcusphaeton4217]

Sean takes himself so seriously and he so earnestly wants to be an smart. God bless you "I am Sam!"

[@bkhunt69]

I don't like Sean's blatherings... And him saying he believed Dr Ford when no one would corroborate her story., Not even her own friends... But then he says essentially "don't talk about oppression unless you do the research and look at yourself"... Ugh. He deflected and didn't speak to Adams question directly. Just blathering.

[@muximus2771]

They dont believe Ford... or should say they don't care. He actually said the quiet part out loud, which is that he disagreed with the judges politics. To a socialist the ends justify the means.

[@frippertonics6421]

Deflection seems to be the one and only debate tactic that liberals use effectively.

[@exitscreaming]

I would respect Penn so much if he did the entire interview as Spicoli

[@boojiboy2289]

Sean Penn should stick to acting... I believe his politics are very dangerous. Perhaps he should go to Venezuela and enjoy his philosophy in action.

[@555_Lady_JB]

Sean lost me at believing Ford. I stayed for a lightening bolt to strike him. Not down with pandering.

[@555_Lady_JB]

@JRCKFSH smart bc Sean penn is an actor.

[@mjo4086]

Great interview Adam, I heard Sean Penn on Stern recently & it was a snore fest. You got him engaged by talking about wood working & he was into it. BTW, I saw Fast Times at Sherman Oaks Galleria as well.

[@timcookpm9692]

What a wonderful interview! Sean is a very interesting guy and Adam is a insightful interviewer! My favorite part is when two men with different political views can have such a civil discourse and not have it degrade to mud slinging. I especially liked the connection to McCarthyism. We really have come full circle! It's great when both sides of the isle can come to that conclusion. I'm a Conservative but I love to hear the Liberal point of view when it's communicated in a non dogmatic voice. Adam proves that if we are willing to listen we can learn and grow from one another. I get people will want to switch off when they hear an opposite point of view, but when it's said with a respectful tone and it's not preachy we should listen. Nice job Adam!

[@cleawox]

Sean rides on the Carolla plane for a LONG time...gracefully playing along! He's an amazing talent, and Adam doesn't miss a beat. Spectacular interview!

[@vanshipman]

Just that fact that Adam and Jimmy are very close friends with such different political views proves that it can be done. Great interview Adam. 👍🏻

[@uncletony6210]

Sean has better range as an actor than pretty much anyone I can think of.

[@hildaconnatser8228]

Penn is a perfect example of how someone can be admirable in some ways but still batshit crazy in others.

[@xtctrader1467]

Adam did a great job bringing out some interesting stories (dad, Fast Times) and did good to get him off the political rants.

[@jeffcrawford9955]

Ace, don't feel like you have to walk on eggshells with these high profile dooshbags

[@muximus2771]

He does if he wants them on his show. How many times has Newsome been on after Ace spanked him for an hour straight. Personally I don't care about the celeb interviews and would prefer he took more callers instead.

[@willgawdun1184]

Sean Penn ? No thanks. Go back to Hollywood. Stay in your lane. We don't need his input.

[@sc666666]

[@AJ-HawksToxicFinger]

I wish people wouldn't vote down podcasts just because they don't like the guest. Come on, cut Ace man a break, at least Spicoli's raising money for a non communist cause ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Adam does not let politics get in the way of his personal relationships, it's how a lot of us USED to be. It's rare in 2020.

[@bluenegrine]

Agreed. A couple years ago, a lot of Adam's fans from both sides of the political spectrum were like "I can't believe DAG won't come on the show anymore simply because of politics". Now, everyone only want to listen to opinions that coincide with their own.

[@dragons_red]

That's partly KZbin's fault for having such a simplistic rating system, but if people don't like the guest and any channel, that's gonna happen.

[@annmahn6091]

At first I thought oh he's less of a prat than usual and then suddenly he was MORE of a prat than usual. That's some level of skill Mr Penn

Wearing a mask doesn't make you a patriot and not wearing one doesn't make you arrogant and not requiring masks does not make our country arrogant. We'd already been through this if the despots didn't lock us down for ever.

[@blksbth1]

Kudos to Adam for driving a very engaging interview. Normally I'll take a pass on ANYTHING Sean has to say but when I saw he was on Adam's show I couldn't resist. That so much of it had nothing to do with politics was refreshing although I'd be lying if I didn't say I didn't appreciate Adam going there in the final stretch. But credit to Sean as well for being on Adam's show. Adam clearly leans right and that's no secret in Hollywood so for Sean to "buck the trend" and actually agree to a conversation is commendable...even if I disagree with him completely when it comes to politics. And I'm glad "At Close Range" was discussed because that's a great movie that has been lost to time and actually one of Penn's best performances.

[@Hands2HealNow]

@@neodutch It's funny, two weeks after 9/11 I was freaking out about it and all I wanted to do was escape the world and I went to the video store and plucked three videos off the shelf that sounded good and every single one of those movies had the Towers in at least one shot. I noticed that 'new' opening of the Sopranos too.

[@marvinshenk]

Politics aside, Sean Penn is one the best actors ever, and if I ever met him, that's what I'd talk to him about. Fast Times, Bad Boys, At Close Range, Colors, Gangster Squad. All excellent performances. And as much as you may disagree with his politics, at least he is trying to do things to make change. He could just stay in Malibu doing nothing like most rich celebrities.

I actually watched this whole podcast without skipping around, that’s a first. Carolla was great here and so was Penn....for the first hour. He made a lot of sense at the end with the hypocrisy of destroying people on social media and with the different movements and then would say something that would make me go, no way, don’t agree there. Blaming Trump for police brutality or the encouraging of it when it’s existed all of this time with countless Presidents in charge? After he just got done saying how he witnessed it when he was in jail himself in the 80’s? Trump is just speaking out of the outrageousness of people from the left abolishing police altogether, not for bad cops. Believing Blasey Ford? I guess that’s what makes us human, not everyone is gonna say the perfect thing for two hours

[@fspipe10]

What is the black and white painting of behind penn's head?

[@pattystomper1]

We live in a world of political correctness, and it was frustrating watching Adam and Sean dance around the points they wanted to make. Near the end, Sean finally expressed some of his political feelings. I certainly don't want to see another political argument. I'm just saying that it was refreshing to see him finally step forward and say "I think the problem is here and here." I don't agree with Sean, but I did breathe a sigh of relief, knowing someone is finally going to say what they think and how they feel. Unfortunately they ran out of time before they could have an honest discussion. (And I believe these men are fully capable of having one). It ended with "So what's your favorite woodworking tool?"

[@muximus2771]

[@orangemotherprincess]

Adam, from the stories I have heard you tell about your mother, a good guess would be she has not been financially successful in life, and when she hears your woes she freaks out. She might be thinking how much you have and how little she has and wondering how dare you want even more when dear ole mom is lacking. Most people would consider your not having your book on the Best Seller's List a small problem compared to all you have in life. Now I know you just want your mom's accolodes and most mothers would shore up their child. Most mothers would be super proud to have you as their child. And you obviously inherited something good from your mother. So she can take a little credit for your success. You got her best genes in the chromosome shuffle. She is never going to give you what you want as she seems to be so focused on her life. Some parents are just jealous of their children. Sad but true.
