About a year ago, I was introduced to TruNiogen, a supplement specifically designed to boost a key cellular resource called NAD that's short for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide. I was really impressed with the research that showed that increased NAD levels can promote cellular repair, maintain healthy mitochondria, and increase energy throughout the trillions of cells in our body. I've been taking TruNiagen ever since, and I am truly persuaded, which is why I'm so

excited to welcome them back to the program. Let's get into how TruNiagen works. From age 40 to 60, humans can experience a 50% decline in NAD, leaving our cells with a shortage of that incredibly valuable energy resource. Additionally, things like immune stress, poor diet, even alcohol consumption can all deplete our cell NAD levels. Research suggests that increased NAD can support cellular defense against these physiological stressors. TruNiagen is designed to boost NAD levels. Research suggests that increased NAD can support cellular defense against these physiological stressors. True Niagen is designed to boost NAD levels and is backed by clinical research and regulatory approvals. Now, while the research is still evolving, I am truly impressed

by the possibilities surrounding NAD and the research behind True Niagen, and I suggest you check out their information for yourself. To learn more about the research, science, and to order your supply of True Niagen supplement, visit drdrew.com slash trueniagen and use the code DREW at checkout for a special discount on orders of three bottles or more.

because of social media and pornography, PTSD, love addiction, fentanyl and heroin. Ridiculous. I'm a doctor for... Where the hell do you think I learned that? I'm just saying, you go to treatment before you kill people.

I am a clinician. I observe things about these chemicals. Let's just deal with what's real. We used to get these calls on Loveline all the time. Educate adolescents and to prevent and to treat. You have trouble, you can't stop, and you might help stop it. I can help. I got a lot to say. I got a lot more to say. And welcome, everybody. I'm starting fully masked because Mr. Andy Dick has to show me his papers before I unmask. We have George Papadopoulos, Tom Arnold, Simone Mangiante coming in. We've got a whole lot of stuff coming out.

Thank you to our sponsor, TrueNiagen, DrDrew.com slash TrueNiagen. He's getting his papers, so I'm starting to feel more secure. Don't forget Dr. Drew After Dark with Christina P., Tom Skirr from your mom's house, also me and Adam Kroll on the Adam and Dr. Drew Show. And the Dr. Drew Podcast has been released from behind a paywall so you can see all those previous shows. And let's see. On weeknights, I do a 7 p.m. show on Fox 11.

Give those to Susan. Yes, give those to Susan. And finally, Andy Dick, cameo superstar. He came without his slide whistle today, so I'm a little bit disappointed. We are social distancing. I'm about to take his temperature to make sure everything's okay. Just turn your head. Well, no, no, no.

I'd rather bend over. 97.3. We're not going to do a rectal temperature. You're sucking in the wrong place. Not a rectal temperature today. No rectal temperature. That's more accurate. It comes to me.

Please do support people who support the show. In fact, Andy saw the True Niogen commercial. I was talking to him off the air. And here you go, buddy. This may be some anti-COVID activity in there, too. Oh, I need it. I know you do. Hold it up next to your face, Andy.

Oh, hi. It's masked. It's the mask Andy dick. Where am I? We're going to have a bunch of guests today. So, Andy, what should we plug today for you? Before we start. We can just talk about cameo.

First, tell me more. All I heard is something that this helps with alcohol. And I'm like, well, I just take the whole bottle right now. NAD is good. NAD, if you can boost your NAD levels, you're doing something good for alcoholic liver and maybe alcohol withdrawal. And it has some anti-senescent effects, so your cells may not age quickly. True nads. Take two.

It's true nads. Take two. Andy, just two. Okay, and I have food in me. Drew, you can take your mask off. He's covered. He's fine. Well, I don't want to expose him.

See, I'm fine. You're good. Look at him. He's covered head to toe. So I can take mine off, right? Is that what you're saying? I think it's okay with me. I'm not splashing.

I really, I triple. Let me get some. A triple cover. Yeah, I got this. Okay, good. Just don't spit on each other. And then this. I should take this one off too.

We are going to. Are you okay? No, I'm taking the one. It's fancy. Really? I heard it can come through. You're murking? Are we going to hear from the. Take a whiff of that. Oh my God. Are we going to hear from the bitches of the century today?

Yes. Tell me about it. Well, Tim Walsh is here. Tim looks great, by the way. I haven't seen him in a few years. He's taking the nads. Tell me more, and what are we going to hear? Tim, you better.

Might as well do. Do you have more? Not yet. You used to do aid songs. The Rolling Rocks thing more you used to do aid songs the rolling rocks thing do you remember the aid songs do you have like covid songs now no we haven't been getting together

because of all of this we could I guess do it online should I get rid of I'm not doing a commercial no no put it down you take it home with you it's fine I can have this yeah take two a day I feel like I'm doing a commercial no no let's put it down you take it home with you it's fine you take two i can have this yeah yeah take two a day you said it really does i feel like i'm doing commercial but it really works i i'm persuaded i like the science and i take it myself what's it just real

quick just use them i'm curious that um that thing with alcohol what does it do yeah it's it's again it's the the oxidation reduction state of the liver, essentially, and it enhances repair. My liver hurts. Yeah. Have you been drinking lately? No. Really? Nope.

You scare me when you do. You really, really, really scare me. I'm not kidding. We've drank together. It wasn't, well, I don't know. Yes, we did. Years ago. Yeah, I remember I got pulled out.

Yeah. I just remembered. Yanked out, carried out. Yeah yeah I remember saying doctor you help me we explain what happened what you did you grab my boob no one knows the interviews over this is COVID couture by the way I try to match here somebody has a recovery question. Can we take it? Yeah. All right.

Because we have calls coming in to it. People are saying, and I saw you at a bar. Well, first of all, there's no bars. I'm at 4-2, Dr. Drew. No, when you get going, Danny, you know you're a scary dude, right? I think I'm scarier when I'm now.

No, no, no. Because I take the nootropics. No, no, you're fine. I can like flip out. Hi, no. I take the nootropics. No, no, you're fine. I can like flip now. Ben. Hi, Ben. You're on with Andy Dick. Ben?

Wait, hold on. Susan. Ben, can you hear us? I can't hear you. I look crazy. Hi, Ben. I hear him there. Hey, Dr. Drew.

Hey, buddy. What's happening? Oh, not much, man. I'm kind of starstruck. I'm a big fan of yours for a long time over a lot of platforms. Pretty much for me, it goes back to when I was very much an active drinker without knowledge of my disease or admittance of it anyways. And I started watching Celebrity Rehab and I've been a fan of yours ever since.

Oh, nice. See? And you help people. You do. Well, you have a willingness to share your story. Go ahead. Yeah, I've got some sponsees and whatnot.

If I make it the next month without a drink, I'll be two years sober. And Ben, is it harder now with all the quarantine stuff? Because I'm seeing a lot of escalated alcohol use. Is that bothering you too? It had a little bit, but luckily I'm far enough into this to know how to deal with isolation before I go elsewhere. You know what I mean?

Yeah, good. I've got lots of friends that I check with every day, and they check with me. And I've got a girlfriend that's not an alcoholic but she is in support of me for sure right um so the the question I have is I'm currently and have been for probably five or six years maybe a little longer on well buterin uh lexapro and recently instead of Guam, I moved over to Chitra Terra. And I'm just wondering if it ever gets legalized in my state, and I have it under the medical supervision of my psychiatrist, would something with a low-dose THC or CBD demolish my sobriety or put me in danger of that?

Or what's your opinion? I mean, I have my thoughts, but I'll start your opinion. I have no problem with the CBDs, and I don't think you'll feel very much as compared to... You're on some pretty strong medications, and I completely endorse what your psychiatrist is doing. He's avoiding psychostimulants with the quiphenicine and the Stratera, and that, to me, is just sort of a signal that he knows what he's doing, treatingimulants with the glyphosate and the stratera and i that to me is a just sort

of a signal that he knows what he's doing treating somebody with alcoholism so good stay with him but uh the cbd is not likely to do too much for you with all those medications and the thc i do not sign off on anything that activates your reward system i i worry about so it just it just starts you down a path so i would say cb if you want to try it, and THC, no. Okay? All right. Yeah, man, and I appreciate your time with me, man. And like I said, I'm a long-time fan, and I appreciate your advice

and everything you've done for people in our community. I'm talking about addiction, not just alcoholism. You're just a beacon. Well, that's very kind, Ben. And you help more people than you think, even if you don't talk to them. That's very kind, Ben. I appreciate you calling today. You stay well, okay, man? Alright, thank you, brother.

Have a good one. Alright. Andy, you're over there spinning like a top, man. I feel like... I know. What's going on? Are you okay? I took the nootropics. And? I need to get on the internet. And your wife is like... I don't know what she's raving about. Yeah, she's... I need to get on the internet. And your wife is like... I don't know what she's raving about. I need to get on the internet.

So now everything's stopped. I know. Let's stop for a little bit. All right, let's just take a break. Just take a break. Susan Kinski break. But seriously, if you can get me on the internet. There's a lot of requests on the restream for your slide whistle.

Is it here? Great. no, Tim Supposed to have one in his car Blame it on Tim Walsh, I'll stab him with a pencil again Wait, can I say a couple things You had your monologue about with Ben I love Ben, he sounds like me Right, that Ben guy

That's me, and I know exactly what he's asking And doing, because he's like He's making deals I know, I know. I know how it works. Oh, God, he's good. Now, can I do a little bit of this? And will that really affect me?

And will it break my sobriety? Do you know how many conversations you and I have had like that? Oh, a thousand. Yes. Yes, for real, real. A thousand. Yeah, I still. And by the way, my friend, a lot of it has been around sex and relationships, too.

I know. In fact, I was going to say your whole can i say damn yeah oh your whole god opening was it about me are you talking to me is that always your opening no it was not but it could it was always my opening we didn't make one specially for you it's like all my problems i know if anybody says what's your can i say can i say swear yeah i think i mean well caleb or word if somebody says they say this to me what did you say you're afraid that youtube will kick us off if you do oh well if people people say it as well they say andy what's your what's your goddamn problem i can just say watch the opening to Dr. Drew.

I just saw some of the pictures. It's just incredible. It's so funny.

Life is incredible at the moment. And, yeah, it's so much fun. And I became, I really like, it was so funny because we were improvising with my accent and i took something wrong with her accent i know she said you just said accent and then and she was talking about her teeth she was improvising something about her. She said the monster, she calls them monsters. The tigers. The tigers' teats. She was saying teats. But she really, that's how she says it.

Fantastic. So I can't wait to see this, by the way. Andy, how can we see this? Can I just say hi? I want you to say hi to Simone. Oh. It's the producer. It's Mike Hermosa.

Remember Mike Hermosa? Come in. How are you? No, no. Come closer to Andy, I'm afraid. It's the upper one. Hi Mike Hermosa? Come in. How are you? No, no. Come closer to Andy, I'm afraid. It's the upper one. Hi. Oh, yeah, right.

That one. Oh, there you are. There you are. How are you doing? I'm doing very well. I can't wait to keep going on, guys. And I had so much fun. And I was just laughing at my accent, you know?

That worked perfectly, finally. It's naturally comic. we should send her some we don't want to leak it out but we'll send you a little thing of you just for my eyes do you know her history? no I didn't know I asked

listen to this you guys I asked Susan I changed the script the night before, every night before. I'm changing to on the set. You know how I was changing things left and right. And I said, we need an executive. I wanted to literally said sexy.

I would think I want a foreign accent. And within seconds, she said your name. And I still didn't know. She just said, call Simona. Didn't know. Called her up. Then it slowly came out that you were married. You guys are still married?

Yes, of course. Yeah, of course. Somebody was saying, I don't know if they're married anymore. So I was a little flirtatious. Wouldn't you be? Come was a little flirtatious. Wouldn't you be? Come on. You flirtatious. I don't know, Randy.

Oh, no. I thought you weren't somebody on the set. You, Mike. So Simona, were you a bureaucrat, essentially, with the EU, right? Yeah, essentially, yes, a bureaucrat. She was a bureaucrat for essentially, with the EU, right? Yeah, essentially, yes, a bureaucrat. She was a bureaucrat for the president of the EU. She worked under the president of the EU, the European Union. So the president, she was like she worked in the White House, essentially.

And then George was working on political campaigns and got dragged into the Mueller. George Bush? George Papadopoulos. Oh, you. Oh, right. Got dragged into the Mueller. George Bush? George Papadopoulos. Oh, you. Oh. Got dragged into the Mueller thing and went to prison. Oh, I can see it here. This is what I heard after we were.

And they accused her of being a Russian spy. If you were going to cast somebody as a Russian spy, would it not be her? Oh my God. I'm rewriting it right now. Wait, what are you saying? Let's do the Russian spy. What's that, Samara? let's do the russia spy i was like already very happy the russia spy will unleash complete potential yeah yeah it's crazy but george i've seen you tweeting a lot now about some of the uh the flynn stuff and what's going on

there what what what is are you covering that on your podcast or what's happening? So taking a break from the podcast now because we came to the studio, but we shut it down now, obviously, because of Corona became a little more serious and we wanted it to be. But I'm just keeping a vocal on Twitter, going on TV a couple of times and just, you know, everything's coming out the way we were talking about it. It's pretty interesting. Really fascinating, actually. Can you just give a thumbnail for people that don't know what happened to you? Like me. Yeah, Andy

doesn't know. So tell them just a brief if you don't mind what happened. Although, real quick before we get into that, somebody said, you know, Simona Papadopoulos, I finally can say Papadopoulos. It took me, since we filmed until now, I can say Papadopoulos. I did me, since we filmed until now, I can say Papadopoulos. I did it right. I was like

saying, pop one off on us. Anyway. That's why I called you Erotica. You broke up there, Simone. Say it again. That's why I called you Erotica. Erotica.

This really is going to be funny. Erotica. It's going to be very funny oh you're gonna see and then i can't wait jorah so somebody said simona um tagged you or tweeted you and i was like no she's not supposed and i looked and then right after you george retweeted it. I'm like, what? And then right after, I went to your thing, and then Trump was tweeting you. And I'm like, wait a minute. Like, right away, I'm like, oh, this is great. This R version is going right to Trump. He's talking to Trump.

So, George, sketch it out for people real quick. All right. A screenwriter couldn't have written a better spy story than what we actually went through. Basically, it was a spy story. We all got caught up in this thing, all framed as we were. And then it's just all really coming out for the world to see. And I think that's why it's really caught the imagination of not only the U.S., but the world. And everybody's following it they're

covering it and you know mouths are dropping and but you were you were found you you did a plea deal around what it's about uh lying like we all were apparently lying about certain things and we got caught up in something that seems not to be what it really was and uh just really looks like um it's probably one of the biggest spying stories in in history that we got caught up in that's it's pretty good now andy's getting dragged into it oh good you know i i can't i i have nothing to lose um i was gonna say by the way i i i said it wrong when I was looking at your retweets, by the way. It was Trump tweeting to you.

That was what was blowing my mind. I mean, I guess he tweets a lot, I heard, right? Yeah. But he was tweeting directly to them. You were a campaign advisor, right? At one point. What? George, is that true?

Yeah. were you were a campaign advisor right at one point george that true yeah in a different in a different lifetime it seems uh it seems so much has happened in the last two years that it seems like a different lifetime but uh yeah no now we're obviously in los angeles uh simone is doing great uh she's working with andy the pictures looked really funny and i think me just like the rest of america we're actually really looking forward to this reboot. What is it? Is it a reboot? Is it a series of Tiger King?

I said I didn't want to talk too much about it. You know, I knew some. I thought she was going to be here. So I could have. Yeah. But that's the part that is. Don't worry. I'm a secret spy.

She's a spy. Yeah, she can keep a secret I used to be blonde And I changed color as every spy And you know, that's my job Alright, stop She's rewriting I told you not to say anything

You know what I'm out well where when where can we see this or when do you think we don't know and and but there's a there's an aspect to it not what she's saying is not true it's not true she's like i'm lying so what's the deal what's tell me the truth well now it might be because it's funny. I'm laughing. But no, we're not supposed to say and we're going to big people. Congratulations. And all the other ones that you hear about, they're not. I can't talk.

I can't. I don't want crap on them. They're not real. Well, they don't seem. I saw what you guys did on Instagram and stuff, and none of them compare. I've got to say. You guys hit it out of the park. So we're going to shop it.

We're shopping it. We want to get the best deal. Someone's going to let us do our thing. So we made one that I'm going to let you see a little bit. See, this is what I'm afraid of. If I show it to her, you're going to... Wait, what is she saying? Go ahead, Samara.

What's that? I want to see that. I want to see that. No, I'm only going to send you stuff of you only. That's that. No, I want to see you. Yeah, yeah. No, no, me and you.

Is she hard to deal with, George? She keeps me in my place. Put it that way. When no one else can. How long are you guys going to be in chicago another week or so all right so we'll see i'm we're having a sort of technical stuff where you guys are kind of breaking up so i'm gonna let you guys go uh and no doubt we will see you when you come back to town we'll get you up here in the studio and andy's got more for you hold on just why are you in chicago and do you still do you still work for um uh with with trump or i don't know any i'll look

it up later if you don't feel like talking to you drew can we segue tom in too i know i i feel like if i will not yeah but yeah technically it's stuff is being glitchy. That's why. Oh, because Tom knows Simona too, right? Yeah, yeah. Oh, so let's bring... Okay, Simona, here's the deal. Simona, when you talk, the computer's very, very glitchy. So if you talk when anybody else is speaking, we can't hear you. At all.

So I'm going to bring in another voice that's going to make it even more glitchy. See, I can't hear you now. But don't leave because he wants to say hi to you. But when she's talking we'll shut up hopefully with four or five voices lean into the computer mic too when you talk and wait till everybody else so let's bring in the great tom arnold hey buddy hey buddy where's my head oh there you are i'm on the show because of Simona. You know, I was doing George's podcast. I went to do George's podcast, and they got in a freaking – it was my assistant Sasha's first day, and we're pulling up there, and I said, you know, I love these guys.

They've got a history. And, you know, Simona, oh, I've got to call her and say hi and tell her I'm seeing George. And as a matter of fact, she's here. And I'll tell you what, these guys, boy, they, they, well, they, they lock horns. They mix it up. They mixed it up.

And I'll tell you what, it was on and it was the best. And, and she, she did not do the podcast that day with George and I, although he, she chews so much ass that day in that house uh she said i said i want to do something with you and she said i'm thinking about doing drew i go oh my god i love dr dr drew and i go back for real like he's legit we go back so many years yes please whenever that happens let me know and uh you know here we are with andy dick who i go back for many years and you and and george who i love are you staying here mother

mother-in-law's house in chicago sabota yeah well god d why am i not there you're not supposed to be here by me. Oh, my gosh. Give Kiki a big squeeze for me. You know, give George a big hug. You know, I'm so happy that you and Andy Dick are doing this. Hey, George, I love you, buddy. I'm glad that you guys are doing the reboot of The Lion King or whatever the fuck you're doing.

You know, I can't think of one. There's no funnier person in the world than Andy Dick. He's the funniest man on the planet. I love you so much. Can I tell him our relationship, Tom? Everybody that's listening. Yeah. He was my sponsor, my sober sponsor.

I'm so sorry, Tom. I'm so sorry, Tom. I'm so sorry, man. Andy's an amazing human being, amazing father, amazing talent. And look at him sitting here today, spread the good word out here, helping so many people. And, you know, I've had several sponsors to myself buddy and what an honor you said that andy i love you you're you're i love you saying the good word here and samoda i'm so you're such a quality entertainer also so i'm glad that you're doing the uh what is it uh lion king reboot Lion King reboot. The monster teeth, right?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Erotic monster man. As soon as she walks on, it feels like it. Monster behind you. Stop talking. By the way, the kids say hi. They'll probably be running in here, Simona.

You know, George and Simona spent a lot of time at my home and with my kids who love them and people think we're adversaries i mean uh you know politically you know george is he's you know here's why i love that i love that trump has finally got on board with george and the george's george's book is hilarious and trump i knew trump would be like oh i gotta think of something i will have somebody read george's book to me he's like that's what we're gonna do now spy gate and so i you know but i love these guys you know uh you know uh we love you i encourage people to vote rigorously and often this fall. And but, you know, they're good people.

George, you know, good Chicago boy, huge fan of Bronco Baba in high school. That was his inspiration. You got to remember that. You know, but they're such good people and they've been through a lot. I'll tell you what, these guys will always be married. I'm telling you. And they have to be because otherwise there would be two other people suffering. They have to be together. Hey, Tom, I am surprised. I know that George is not politically aligned with you.

The last time you and I were together, we were on stage raising money at a rock charity event. And you went, I love you, man. I just hate when you're on Fox News with those assholes. And by the way, I'm not right or left. That's the thing. I will go anywhere. The years on CNN, I'll just go where people will listen to what I'm talking about. At that point, I was just trying to help with the homeless thing.

And I had no affiliation with anybody. You've done amazing work for chemical uh for chemical dependency i mean you you're a you you stand where you stand and always have and always help people and uh i i just and i actually like uh what george i i you know for the moment i met them i met them as soon as he signed his bowler deal i met them outside a cafe here i was with my kids a couple years ago and they said hey they wanted to talk and i i said what i know what it's like to be in the middle of this and uh uh and i said we i said let's get together and we and we met up and he talked he said i want you to meet my wife and i she came down and i that you know they told they

were telling their stories i'm like okay it's if this is gonna be because it just got it was it was he was telling me his story a cop and then she came into the soul house and holy hell and crazy and then about four hours later as they said could you mind if we stay here say i go yeah absolutely about four hours later i looked at twitter and she called the cops on her mother-in-law or vice they were still there they were still there and a friend of mine's like yeah they're still at the bar they're taking pictures with people people love them they are crazy and i was like you don't have any people she's not from america how many people are threatening her

what's it like for a woman who's worked her whole life around the worst men in the world who wants to come here and meets a charming guy like george papadopoulos and then these two and quite frankly she's been the only person in the world that's been by his side at times and vice versa yeah and people don't understand they think it's all uh in the media into whatever but uh but you know these guys have been through a lot. Now, this stuff with Trump, that's insane. He is, you know, a lunatic. But, you know, these guys are certainly well-intentioned, and they've been through a lot together.

Oh, wait a minute. And I like the way they keep talking, because it's nonsense. And she does cover for her husband. She's got his back, but boy, they fight. Boy, they fight. Boy, they, that's love. Let me tell you something. I remember the tweet.

The tweet said, the tweet that I saw when you retweeted that thing, Simona, the tweet from Trump to George said, good luck with your book. So maybe it hadn't come out. And then you said, thanks, Mr. President. You said, thanks, Mr. President. George did. I loved it. Did he read the book?

Can you guys catch me up? What's going on? Did they not like each other? Look at the cover up. You've got to see the cover. It's like an old school, like Steven seagal when he was thin it could lift his leg and i but i have to tell you uh you know uh when he went to when by when when when george went to prison you know we we filled this how long did he go how long did he was short

it was short it was uh 11 he had three nicknames in prison, he told me, and he was only there 11 days. But let me say that we filmed this for a documentary, which you will see. The person that did it, Tupac and Biggie, is a legitimate documentary maker. Stephanie, what's Stephanie's last name? We have a lot of stuff. And, you know, it came as, I'm just in it because of their counselor, their relationship, because I love them. And I'll tell you, you know, they had the craziest fight on the way to prison. Did you catch that?

Did you get that for the doc? Yes. George was sitting there. The way George is very, like, buttoned down. And then he gets in there, and it seems like she is a raving shrew, but she cried. I mean, there is a softest side to her. Like, she wants to be.

I'm sure that whatever she did in Europe with the Russians or whatever, when she was a spy. But you're so tender. You love him so much. And so I see that. I also see George. He'll be like... And then you got the mother-in-law turning you into ice. What a great

American story. You're just married and your mother-in-law's like, I'm calling ice and i i feel for her too because her son you know uh the greek mothers are like jewish mothers i get that they're very close to their sons and you're a hot blah blah bombshell they don't plan on their sons married hot blah bombshells at their george poppinopoulos so there's a lot going on here and is this good we're to get to watch this? I've now got all these things I need to see.

Yeah, we will. All right. We will. It'll be very interesting. And is it going to harken back to the book and the story at all? Well, the book, he writes a book, and he's very excited. And, you know, there's a lot of interesting characters that are in his life that aren't Tom Arnold fans.

And to his credit, he has never, and I would never do the same to them. There's a lot of people that are, I hate to even say this, that are not fans of George, because they say, oh, he's a Trump guy. He's all about the bad news and the Obamagator, whatever that crazy stuff is. I say, no, here's who he is. Here's who he was. He grew up in the Midwest. He got sent out there in this business world and put in unsafe places. And you know what?

Down the road, we'll talk about this. He did the best. And so that's who he is. He's a friend and so well see i like that but tom one of my one of my gravest concerns as we peek out from this quarantine is that that the political intensity could calm down a little bit and uh the fact that you guys are friends to me is a very good sign you You know what I mean? You can disagree and be friends. You know, I've known Trump for 30-some years.

And I know his – yeah, he is a menace, Donald Trump. He's ridiculous. He's dangerous. George Papadopoulos is not. Okay, all right, good. I'm sure George isn't a menace. I'll give you an example of donald trump and joe biden joe biden's he's very old he's forgetful but he does not make his kids go on tv

and defend him that he loves his kids unconditionally the screw up and the hero kid all of them and and i know donald trump and i've seen him pit his kids against each other hatefully and send them out there go go out there and tell lies about me and that's the truth and when uh i also don't want george to get caught up in that for trump trump's actually coming to george though he's like what is that deal because when he started out with george the trump people are like oh we don't know george papopoulos. He's a coffee boy. And I was like, well, actually, people like the New York Times are like, actually, you do know him. He's one of your main dudes.

He went out and met the president of Egypt for you, Donald Trump. And he's like, yeah, because George has been doing this. That was his career, traveling around the world, doing this stuff. You're lucky you had him. And then finally they come around like by the way we do love george papadopoulos he's so important to us so you know when you see the full story of who george is you know that's that's that story is to be told and samoda their love story the real story is freaking crazy it's better than these gossip things. I mean, George has his version, and Simona has her version, but the real story is insane.

Well, I can't wait to see it. I cannot wait to see it. I'm almost as excited about that as I am the Lion King reboot. Tiger King. I always say Lion King. Yeah, Tiger King. Nathan Lane and Will Smith, and they're having sex with the lion. No, no, no. That's not it. That's not how it's gonna work oh no but but okay okay yeah so with a lion head on her so no no get in

here jada go go i love it so so tom thanks for stopping by my friend and george and simone i'm gonna let you guys too andy's got his band here. He's going to play some music. What, Tom? I'll just say bye to those guys. Thank you. And Tom, anything you want to send people to or promote? Listen, I have my podcast, Two in the Bush with Sasha. She's watching my kids now.

Standing right over there. Anyway, Two in the Bush podcast. Yeah, I love you guys. Vote and stay sober. It seems easy. I've gained a lot of weight to this thing. Yeah, and I guess we're going to be coming out of this thing pretty soon. So everyone keep the social distancing.

Be diligent. And we'll be fine, I think, if people do what they're supposed to do. Yeah, we will. All right. Thank you, guys. I love you so much, Tom. Tom, great to see you. I love you all.

Simone, George. Simone, I can't wait to see you guys. Thank you for stopping by. When you get back to town, we'll see you. Thank you, Tom Arnold. Thank you, Simone. Thank you, George. And you've never met George before now.

No, no, no, no. I did not know I was hiring a Russian spy. I didn't know that she was going to be so funny. I just wanted a sexy... With an accent. With any accent. It's hard to identify her as Italian too, right? Yeah.

It sounds Russian. It sounds like Middle Eastern, Eastern Bloc-ish somehow. Hey, Andy, did you find a Carolol baskin yes finally did i was directing her this morning um while i was brewing my coffee actually and then she finally got it um yeah but she's great this one all right we got a lot of calls you want to do some calls yes but I want to talk a little bit more about George because I went quiet because, well, first of all, they were remote and I'm just talking too much.

I realize that. It was hard technically. Who likes Trump? I'm neutral. Yeah, I'm kind of neutral too. I think Tom has trump derangement syndrome like he's like preoccupied and upset with by donald trump oh yeah george i don't want to get in trouble no george i'm gonna work for them and i think is i think he's supporting they're tweeting

each other yeah i think they support each other simona work is dm simona simona worked for a socialist who was the head of the European Union. She was like the second in command under the president. A socialist is like a communist kind of, right? Kind of, but not exactly. That's why they thought she was a Russian. But she's not any longer a socialist. She was never really a socialist.

But once a socialist. I interviewed her once and she said, you know, I really benefited from the socialist system. I got my graduate degree in Spain. I went to Italy for this. I went to England for that. But I'm not a socialist. So here we have lots of interesting calls here. Those of you that already hung up, I apologize.

But there's a lot of crazy stuff here. Let's quickly go to some of this. I tune out when I hear the politics. I just can't keep up. I just like the fact that they're all friends because tune out when I hear the politics. I just can't keep up. I just like the fact that they're all friends because there are different ends of the spectrum and pretty heatedly so. So it's really

nice to see that. Aaron, go ahead. Hi, Aaron. Hello. How you doing? Good, man. What's up? Yes. Hi. How you doing? We're good. Hello? We hear you. Oh, okay. Dr. Drew, thanks for having me on. I've been a fan of yours since the 90s when you're on radio.. Dr. June, thanks for having me on. I've been a fan of yours since the 90s when you were on the radio.

Pleasure. So it's been a long time. It has been a long time. I do have a question for you, and the question is the corona. I'm in Chicago, by the way, and it's a large metropolitan area with a very large homeless population. And there's something that I kind of was thinking about doing some research online and of course on Facebook, seeing memes and stuff. But the homeless population doesn't really seem to be affected a lot by it. I don't read a lot about it in the news. Once in a while I might.

But the homeless population, they don't really social distance. They live outside, and they really don't wash their hands because in Chicago, every restaurant and every place to wash your hands is closed, except your own home. So what do you suspect? What do you suspect? What do you suspect is reducing their transmission rate in the homeless? What do you imagine? What are the possibilities?

Let's put it that way. Well, I have two theories on this. And I went to school for biomedical engineering back in the 90s. Excellent. And my theory is that they're either fudging the numbers, they're not telling us, like they're the forgotten population. That's a possibility. Or these people are very prone to disease already, and they have such immunity built

up being homeless that they aren't even affected by the coronavirus that is another possibility there's there's yet a third can i guess the third go ahead okay they um go ahead what you said i was going to say that they don't really uh they don't touch each other but i don't know about that's that they don't touch each other, but I don't know about that, that they don't touch people, other... Right, so there's two other issues. One, they're not having as much contact with the general public because people pull away from them, right?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And they're not... The panhandling isn't happening right now because they're not even handing people money or anything. So that's one possibility that there's something epidemiological going on. But there's yet another. You need to put that 9-volt battery in your smoke detector, buddy.

That's driving me a little crazy. Oh, I know, I know. It's one of those where the battery's built in. I know. I get it. But here's the thing that I think it is. A couple things. One is they're out of doors.

Outdoor transmission of COVID is rare. It's rare. In China, I just saw a study of over 5,000 cases, and they only found one outdoor transmission out of 5,000. So it's rare. Now, the crazy thing about what our government has done to us, they've said, you stay inside. Homeless, do whatever you want.

You people, you cities, taxpayers, you got to stay inside. And essentially all transmission is in the home and in transportation environments. So in the sun, in the open air, very unlikely to be transmitted.

Okay? So I think that's a big part of it. Does that mean that people should start to get out more? Yes, it does. Rather than being locked out? Yes, it does. I'm in Illinois.

They just want to lock us up. Well, it means that the business, it means that the idea of locking up the beaches in California is truly insane. And when they say they're following science, they are not. They're actually lying because that's not science. But the other thing, it's very distracting here. We've got some technical problems with Andy.

He's now gone from spinning around like a top to breaking things. What's the other thing I wanted to say? It's hard to concentrate here, my friend. You were talking about the beaches. Yeah, the beaches, the outdoor. Oh, the other thing is that there have been little outbreaks amongst the homeless when they are indoors. There have been little outbreaks.

And the interesting thing, back to your theory about them being hearty, 60%, 70% asymptomatic. So when they do get it, they tend to be asymptomatic. Isn't that interesting? Yeah. I'm sorry, what's the asymptomatic? I don't have... Asymptomatic means they carry the virus,

but they don't get sick. They don't get sick. Oh, yeah. That's why I'm figuring that they don't have as much hygiene or anything like that. I live in Chicago. I mean, I've observed the homeless people.

I interact with them. Yeah. Usually, which I haven't been now, but I kind of see what they do and how their lifestyle is. Right. And that's what I was assuming is that they're just prone to not getting anything. Or they're just not even susceptible to getting the... They get it. In this case, they get it, but they tend not to get a bad version of it.

So, Erin, excellent stuff. Thank you. That's a good question. Let's see. Oh, this is interesting. Andy will like this. In terms of deal-making, Kelly has an observation. I'm all ears.

Kelly, go ahead. Hi, Dr. Drew and Andy. How are you? We're good. What's going on? Can you hear me?, go ahead. Hi, Dr. Drew and Andy. How are you? We're good. What's going on? Can you hear me? We hear you. Oh, awesome. So I heard you make the call. I'm sorry, what did you say?

Go right ahead. Oh, I heard you make the comment to the gentleman that CBD, the guy who was worried about CBD affecting his sobriety, and that it doesn't affect your reward system and that's why you're okay with it but I've used CBD it was like a nano concentrate and to me it felt like my reward system was very activated so so two things what is it well sometimes there may be THC in with the CBD and I bet that's what it was. But the other thing in the high doses it can. I like people keeping well

below 200 milligrams, like lower, lower doses. I was doing less than 10 and for me it was like a no bad days thing. If I take this, I feel really good. But what is it activating if it's not your brain's

reward system? It usually can induce sleep. And for some people, they feel like they're a little less anxious without getting high. Does that make sense? Okay. But in the higher doses, it will. Well, yeah, it does. Because I could go to work and I would just have a really, like, it was easier for me to manage stress.

You know, I just felt better. I'd also had crazy dreams when I was a kid. It was a nano-concentrate. And are you an addict yourself? No. Yeah, so you're sort of in the zone of what I was saying, which is that it doesn't cause you to do more, let's put it that way, but it can relieve some symptoms.

And by the way, on the other side, some people have more trouble. Like they have trouble with their sleep when they try to stop it or they get more anxiety the next day, in which case if you're one of those people, do not continue. Are we okay here, Andy? No. Your mic's off now. I literally broke the whole thing.

You broke it off. How'd you do that? Well, hold the mic to your mouth while you're doing it. I was just trying to look at it now. Can you see me? This is like me on those new NADS pills you gave me. Doink! I gave you?

It's fine. We're all alive Let's put us back in the windows here We'll fix it later Put us back in the windows Shit happens Wait I've been on doing this No no no

You just hold it Let's talk for a second Are you okay everything good Sit up straight so that we can see you I was trying to get them over to the camera. I was trying to get anything. We need to go over on your notes here. Everything good.

Yeah. Yeah. Let me write a new one. Get a new mic stand. I was like calling him and this, and he never, he hates me. I think your producer hates me.

You're my wife producer. No. Okay. That guy. I had two different headphones on. My wife, producer? No, she loves me. That guy. I had two different headphones on. He couldn't hear you. You had two sets of headphones on. No, it's fine, Andy.

It's not fine. Now I'm holding it. You can do it. Well, but here's the deal. I thought we'd go to some music next. So here's the deal. You're not going to have a mic. Just turn it towards Andy.

I'm just kidding. I literally broke it because I went to But now it's up to you You can be the mic stand You didn't break the mic The mic works Don't pull the wire Please stop Susan

Andy Thank you Just like any good singer You'll hold the mic to your mouth when you're singing And put it over to Tim It's weird that i can hear you want to wear over here it's a great mic it's a great mic thank you to blue mike in spite of andy trying to destroy blue mike uh thank you to them well this is perfect this song that he's playing i know which one he's playing this is the one don't you need a little thing for this song? Always.

I've always loved the bitches of the century Thank you We've been doing We started Bitches of the century thank you we've been doing we started bitches of the century 20 years ago on your uh on this yes well okay so here's what he's talking about i had when drdrew.com was a business over 20 years ago but in 1999 when uh yeah when internet companies were this thing we had a tv TV show we would do every week. And Andy came on. You actually had about four band members at the time. And you stood up and did it on a stage.

Well, I have to have five guitar players because they all drop out all the time. Right. I don't know who's. You can actually find that video on drdrew.com if you look it up. The classic one. It's on the YouTube channel too.

Oh, thank you. Maybe your producer doesn't hate me. We have it. You were the first one I put up. Oh, I'm sorry. on the youtube channel too oh so we have oh maybe your producer doesn't hate me we have it and you were the first one i put up oh i'm sorry i guess i gotta suck something and i think the aid song is one of the things he sings in that thing and and but because that was a crazy that was a wild song that's a good one and very hard to remember yes and the um the point being is that nobody saw that tv show because nobody we were i kept saying show, there's something about this, putting something, video out on the internet.

But nobody could watch it in 1999 because nobody had broadband. Isn't that crazy? I think I remember somebody telling me that about your show. I said, I don't care. I've been doing his show since it's on the radio. So we were doing it, but nobody could watch because the technology had yet and got to the point where people could see stuff and uh and then the whole internet bubble burst and then it took 15 years for youtube to happen and here we are now i don't know how you're making it look

like this by the way but i i keep thinking i'm on goddamn cnn you like it looks like cnn you like the look of it love it yeah how who did it is it What's his name again? Caleb. Caleb? Caleb Nation. Caleb Nation. You keep giving grief to today. Caleb. Caleb is the brain behind this. His first name is Calebation?

Chris, go ahead. Thank you, Dr. Drew. Andy, it's Chris from Cameo from about six months ago. I asked you to do a video

for me about the night I met you in Atlanta in 2007 and I met you and your brother Jeff and you kind of threw me about a 15 minute video and it was one of those things where you had a couple questions for me so I kind of wanted to answer those for you

so I was not the guy who drove you and your brother around to find your old house but I had a healthy time and I hope you're doing well thank you so much I remember you he was not the guy that drove you we were having

emails back and forth or something. Texts. It was Instagram DMs. He told me to reach out on Instagram and I did. That's when I'm trying to be safe. I didn't hear back. When I saw your tweet about this event,

I just wanted to dial in and I'm thrilled that I got in. So are you talking about that was in Roswell or wherever that was? It was Buckhead. It was the funny farm in Buckhead. Yeah but is that near the only

town I know? Is it near Roswell because that's where I lived. Roswell. Oh yeah. It's in North Bolton so yeah it's right next to Roswell, Georgia. Okay, yeah, right. All right, man. Thank you. Thank you for saying that. You're so great, buddy. I remember that. Yeah, absolutely.

But we hung out, okay, and it's still I don't, we never found that. And not you and I, but the other guy, we never found the house. And this is John. Hey, John, what's going on there my brother died but that's kind of where i went by the way hold on a second john what'd he die my brother died he just died of love liquor no i don't think you do i had if i was on stage in the middle of a song like this and in the middle of it i put the mic in the middle put the mic in the stand oh put the mic in the stand. Oh, I have one here.

Put it in the stand and then walked off stage and I got on the next plane to Florida because I knew he was sick and in the hospital, but multiple times he was sick and in the hospital. Oh, boy. I could feel it and he died with me. Of alcoholism? Yeah. His liver.

Talk about how he should have had those nads that you're promoting. When I got there, it was like a watermelon. Oh, yeah, it's terrible. I said, oh, this ain't good. I'm just going to post up with you. Yeah, alcoholic liver disease is no fooling, man. And women are just a reminder.

Do they have it? Women get it much more likely than men. They're about five times more likely. And you can get alcoholic liver disease and not have cirrhosis too. So the question is, do you have cirrhosis or not? And it's hard to tell. It hurts a little bit. You usually don't feel much.

Sorry, John, go ahead. Hi. I saw an article in Durango, Colorado, I believe, with a guy who got a.55 blood alcohol level. At some point, he tested positive for coronavirus, and they counted his death as COVID-19. I was wondering if you think there's more cases like this being counted as deaths? Yeah, I think there are, but I think you've got to remember that they're not doing it to distort the data or to mislead people.

They're doing it, and they did it really for fiscal reasons. They just wanted hospitals to have access to enough resources to take care of covet patients so they got more reimbursement the hospitals are in trouble right now because they've not been doing their usual care they just have been all dedicated to covid and so there's a lot of financial stress so the covet diagnosis gave them a higher level of reimbursement and there just is a convention it's just a conventionality if you die with covid you get counted as a COVID death. And it may not be the direct cause, but everyone knows we're doing that.

So it's not like it's being distorted or hidden or anything like that. The question we need to ask is, one day, is somebody going to get the data and pull out the direct COVID deaths from the COVID-adjacent deaths? And would that make a big difference in the numbers?

And we don't know. We don't know right now. Are you worried COVID did you forget about it no but there's a it's it's been like this it's been like uh ebbing and flowing with me because this girl that I'm dating and I seem not to be doing that well to be honest the relationship's not doing that well right and she was all freaked out immediately and i'm like baby you're come on it's just the flu and i probably i felt like i i had the i think i had it around december you should get tested a real weird no i did get tested i don't have it but i think i did tested for antibodies you got tested for for having i

know you can go back and now get tested to see if you ever had it. Which, I mean, why should I do that, though? Because you could be immune. You could be immune if you had it. I think I'm immune. You will. You just have to prove it. I walked to her house still a mile and a half,

and I see a lot of homeless people. I was going to address that other guy, by the way, because I see them and I cross the street. I don't. I don't. Interact. Interact. Interact. But there was this one guy. He was. It was just so. guy by the way because i see them and i cross the street i don't i don't uh interact interact but there was this one guy he was it was just so i see so many there's that seems like there's more

i know yeah and he he couldn't get his um his uh mask on he was drunk and he was just trying you certainly see the alcohol up on the streets, man. The alcohol is way up on the streets because the meth is down. It is? Yeah, so they can't get the meth. Oh, I see. And homeless people are wearing their masks because they don't want to be thrown in jail. And they don't want to get sick.

They don't want to get sick either. Is that what it is, you think? I think so. I mean, this guy looked like he was sick already. And you can't get them in even when they're sick. If they say, no, I don't want help, you can't do anything. It's ridiculous. It's so bizarre.

It's weird. And so my girl was so hyper about it. And I'm like, baby, you're out of your mind. It's called mass public hysteria. People are going crazy about it. It's not real. It's in your mind. And then she got me kind of worked up about it.

And also, you and I are kind of worked up about it and then i i and also you and i were are kind of on the with the same ilk you know where you were getting in trouble about that i wasn't talking about it but um but what do you think now by the way um i'm i missed how ferocious it is in some cases it's i've now cared for a bunch of cases and it's brutal when it's brutal as a doctor you have yeah yeah you have It's brutal in certain situations If you're over 70, 75 If you have metabolic syndrome

If you have insulin resistance If you have antiphospholipid syndrome If you're hypertensive, hypercholesterolemia Any obesity, man watch out It is brutal What about alcoholism? I can't say I've seen that necessarily. No.

Cirrhosis. Yes, but not not alcoholism per se. Give me one symptom of cirrhosis. I'm just trying to see if I don't eat. It's a cold. Usually don't really your legs start to swell. You turn yellow. My feet.

I'm not kidding. They I told you this last time I was here. They tingle a little. Yeah, that can be alcohol neuropathy. It's different. You can damage the nerves in your leg from alcohol. I don't have it in the last few months. Good.

Be careful. Yeah, just don't drink alcohol. Exactly. Do you have any, by the way? No. Is he still on the line? Yeah, he's still. Hey, buddy.

Well, he's still available. I mean, he's listening. But the point is that in most cases, it is like the flu, right? So in young people, stuff like that, it's just a little more contagious. But here's what I've been focusing on lately, which is that you heard me talk about later, earlier, that there's no outdoor transmission. That is rare to have outdoor transmission. Why that because i thought it was airborne because uv and sun kill it and it's so dilutional when the you know air just moves it around immediately if you're in a grocery store

might be a different thing but outdoor in the sun seems about the safest place you can be number one my girlfriend was so manic about it that she would go to the grocery store you know she stopped going i had to go for her and then she'd bring it home and uh spray everything that she touched with with a bleach thing does that help yeah yeah it does i mean but again none of it is foodborne so it's we don't know how safe to be i mean now it's all the levels are so low right now they are you don't have to be that that crazy about it had this box this cardboard box of money and she's like that's my my money and i went what do you why is it in a box because i sprayed them well it's not such a bad idea particularly we were in the middle of it but but the the fact that we're all on lockdown does not have a scientific basis right now

you better stop while you're ahead you're going to get in trouble no no it's just the truth that the idea of lockdown was, I was just studying it again this morning. It was invented in 2006 as a result of a high school science project. So it was locked down, didn't exist before 2006. And this is the first time we've ever done it. And we don't know that it's superior significantly, particularly when the, when the virus is well suppressed to just social distancing and wearing a mask could even now that I'm thinking about

it I didn't know what you just said now that I'm thinking it could be worse because what happens is you're in your lock down yeah and then that's right you guys all give it to each other that's and then somebody goes well I do have to go to 7-eleven real quick boom it's back exactly right it's a most outbreaks are in the home and of of and it usually affects three to five people in a single household so it's it's it's a challenging question let's put it that way and i just think we ought to start kind of moving around a bit and see if people can maintain social distancing i'm looking at the university of washington data again

they've not updated in a week so i don't really have anything to say yet about it. Can I do one more song and talk about the Tiger King because I forgot to mention Paris Dillon, who is one of my roommates with his girlfriend Stephanie, and they both worked on the thing. They actually were very, right, Mike? I wanted Mike to be on Mike. Mike on Mike. If you have a mic, you can hand to him.

But then I can't talk. Right, well well that would be terrible well now you know anyways how how was that experience working on the thing that we have not sold so it's up for sale we're very picky people are coming to us but yeah seems like it's this is pretty funny it's it was a fun experience i mean the cameras were shaking when we're on because people were laughing so much yeah but i to the point where my biggest concern about it was well i either want to i i want to nail it nail it you know like i want me i'm not going to do it the the the tiger king or because i don't want to be a goofy like cartoon version yeah yeah cartoon like like saturday i

really want to like i want to win an emmy and then i was i kept going on the set like am i getting it i was so self-conscious about it i said okay i know what we're gonna do now because i couldn't get off the fact that i felt like i could and people were doing this no yeah yeah you are oh it's never good and i know so i switched the i flipped the script again literally literally, and rewrote. And now that's one of the secrets that we're just like, I probably gave too much. And that's when it was good. That's when it hit.

Now it's a done deal. You're definitely winning the daytime Emmy for this. See how they talk to me? That's my producer. The daytime Emmy. It's not going to be ready for the daytime. I just want to see it because i'm sure it's going to be funny did you is it this is a reenactment of the story such as we know it or

is it a new a new story okay a little of all of it but don't i can't everyone because because why do you think i don't want to talk about did you know he is so great okay okay that everyone's i'm going to switch i'm going to switch topic to something quick and hard. Did you know Fred Willard? Yes, very well. So that's sad, isn't it? Very sad. You know, he was in my things that I directed. He was in something that I directed that you were in.

I can't remember. Andrew Taylor. You were in that. Yeah. No, you were in the... You were in a... I remember being in the Andy Dick show. Yeah, so was he. The MTV show.

So was he. Uh-uh. Yeah. Now, he didn't... Andy, here's how Andy directs. Do it again. Do it again. Do it again. Try it again. Try this Yeah, so was he. So was he. Now, he didn't die of COVID. Here's how Andy directs. Do it again. Do it again. Do it again.

Try it again. Try this way. Try this way. Do it again. Do it again. Do it again. But I thought it was great because eventually, in seven minutes, you'll do 30 takes. Yeah, exactly.

And something's in there. Well, directing you is like that because you're not doing a character. You're just doing you. Yes. And with other people, though, like the Carole Baskin thing today, I was saying to her while I was brewing my coffee, I'm like, do it. Like, look at me. Because when I couldn't get the tiger, I shouldn't tell people this secret. You get other people to do it, and then you can hear what they're hearing,

and it's easier to do when you hear someone else do it i was doing it for her the carol mike hello are you crazy cats and kittens you know like and then she hears what i'm hearing and then she because she's a woman and she she nailed it this morning this girl do you know somebody named craig maybe probably oh there's a guy named chris and he also goes by christine because i guess he's pan we have a chris christine on our uh thread here once in a while shows up yes bring her up because she wants to talk to you and i promised her that uh we would okay but um um let's do let's the very first song that bitches the century did we did on howard's turn can i do a little snippet go ahead gotta be louder First song that Bitches of the Century did, we did on Howard's turn. Can I do a little snippet? Go ahead.

It's got to be louder when you do this song. Okay. Little brown ring, little brown ring. Thank you for your smile. Little brown ring, little brown ring, you're cramping up my style. I see you in the dark leaving your brown skid mark. Little brown ring, little brown ring. You're quite a nasty treat. I can stop.

Keep going. Trepidation, a sunset in vine. I needs me a vacatione where that sun don't shine. Sorry. That old yellow moon and me are gonna have our cereals fling with your tiny tight white tiny, tight, white, and ass-sized little brown ring. Ring, ring, ring. Hit the boundary. And we go, ah, ah, ah.

That was our first one we ever did. We did it on Howard's turn and it was with Andrew Sherman. Did Howard like it? Loved it. And Andrew Sherman wrote it about little black bugs. It was about his cockroaches. And then I said, I'm just going to make it about a butthole. Why not?

Yeah. I mean, you know. All right, let's talk to Craig, who's your friend. Ready? Here we go. All right. Hey, Craig. Hang up.

Craig, what's going on? Hey, brother. You know, as Andy gets older, you guys are looking a lot more alike. I don't know who that's bad for or good for. I think he's going to be handsome. Yeah, I don't know if that's ironic or I owe someone an apology. Mostly you, Drew. I think our coloration is the same and our head shape is sort of the same. I think we look effing great.

We both look great. Wait, is this Craig Mercado? Yes. Okay, hi. I recognize your voice, buddy. How are you doing? I'm good. So I saw you on.

So I figured this is a perfect opportunity. Andy, you and I have had a number of conversations over the years, but I thought what a perfect opportunity to ask Dr. Drew a question. While you're there, because I've known Andy for maybe seven, eight years now, and I live in Oregon, so we're not nearby, but we come in contact every now and then. We talk a lot here and there. But Dr. Drew, as someone who's known Andy and has been involved with him- I'm going to guess your question. Through a lot of highs.

Stop, stop, stop, stop. Hold on. Anyone can guess the question. involved with him. I'm going to guess. Stop, stop, stop, stop. Let me guess. I think your question is, should I get back in business with him or not? No, no, no,

no. Okay. Uh, I have never abandoned you, my friend. No, you never did. Uh,

Mike, he's no, my question to drew is there've been a number of times where Andy's been going through lows, or even casually posting videos or pictures of him drinking or being drunk, or even if it was just alcohol, and I don't know whether it was just that or not. My problem is, is that being at a distance and being more of a casual acquaintance, what is the best way to me to be able to be of assistance without being, you know, I mean, I'm not, I can't drag him out the door.

I'm not his dad, you know, and I'm not directly involved in a lot of ways, but at the same time, I'm also wanting to be as helpful as I can. All right, all right. So let's talk. Andy and I will talk about it. Hold on, hold on. I already know what you're going to say. Well, no, you don't because I'm not really sure what I'm going to say except to say that all Craig can really do is he can go to Al-Anon.

He can let himself be available to you and let you know he's available. And he has not much else he can do. Would you agree? Yeah. So take your mic. That's how you have been with me. The problem with you. But let me tell you, the problem with you, Andy, and this is the problem.

And I want Craig to hear me talk about this. I have to go to the bathroom right when you're telling me my problem. That's not so weird. You go so far off the rail that you scare me and everybody else, and it gets dangerous. It gets dangerous, right? Yeah. And so we, meaning like me and the Craigs and my wife, people that love you,

start talking about how do we get the cops involved? How do we go get them? What do we do? Which you have multiple times. Right, which we've done, and it usually doesn't work. It doesn't do very well. cops involved how do we go get him what do we do how do we which you have multiple times yeah right which we've done and it usually doesn't work you just do very high you left the light on for me thanks right there's not much they can do i know them all now right there you're allowed to drink yourself to death but but it no no you're right that's true and i don't mean that pejoratively i mean that's just the fact in this country them's the facts jack talk to my brother jeff dick right exactly just beer just bud light yeah jeff dick and and but but when we send the

cops in at least we feel like okay he's okay at the moment we've checked up on him we've done everything we can it's called a drunk tank if they take you which they usually don't they usually don't um so so craig that's the only piece that's a little different with Andy because he does get so – I don't know if you have that feeling I have. I get frightened, and I'm worried for him. And if you can get him on the phone, that's always good, though he never remembers it, and he will not treat you well when you get him on the phone.

Yep. Andy, you don't treat us well when you get him on the phone. Yep. Andy, you don't treat us well when we get you on the phone. Yeah, and my thing has always been, you know, like we've, and Andy knows, you know, we've worked together a little bit and try to work together a bunch more. And, you know, you think everything's going great and he sounds great, everything's great, and then it's not great all of a sudden. Well, it's usually, I will tell you, and he knows I feel this way,

that it's usually relationships that take him out. And until he straightens that stuff out, until you straighten that out, you're always going to be at risk. Well, here's how I straightened it out this time, I think. Because you think I wake up every morning and go, how am I going to screw my whole life up today? No, I don't.

I know you don't. In fact, you do quite the opposite. You do quite the opposite you do quite the opposite you you you you lived in a place for years on a sober two years you did everything you're supposed to do but the relationship part was ongoing and i kept telling you this you're not going to maintain it because of that i fell in love with people in the sober living to a point where i i had to get my own little house on the beach alone. And I still have people coming anyways. I can go on and on about falling like that, but, uh, it's hard.

It's really hard. That's my thing that alone alone, alone, alone. I'm looking at what I'm hearing is that salt Peter is the best solution. No, no, no, no. It's salt Peter. He wants to put you, put you on androgen blockade. So you don't have a sex drive. No, no, no, no no no no no i can just watch porn occasionally and then i'm gonna i'm gonna try to live with somebody that

i'm not like in love with sexually good it's it's we all love andy it's easy to love andy and and that's the and that's the challenging part, Craig. So keep available. Keep after him. And he has long periods of time where he does really, really, really, really well. I mean, he works very hard at it. I do. And my thing about that is get me now because that window of opportunity closes. Jesus.

What's going on? Hurry up. What's going on? Oh, wait. We're done. It's over. The window going on we're done it's over the window's closed already no no the show's that oh i know but i could keep talking to you i know we could talk all day and night you're always so busy no i'm really not i'm stuck in i'm stuck on quarantine i know i love this by the way i'll come on every week look at it i'm not kidding it looks like cnn i know they do a great job Who does

That's crazy. I forgot about that. Yeah. I don't talk about it because he doesn't want me to.

Right. And then Andrew Sherman and Paris Dillon, who I'm living with, who is in The Lion King. Paris plays the guy, one of my husbands. He has the teeth all messed up. It looks like we got the actual guy yeah yeah like that's basically why i kept thinking i'm not landing it because paris is perfect he's like spot on so then uh what is how's this one go um do you remember the words at all because like

what are the words what's the words I can't hear you. In the stripes of sunlight. That's the only part I remember. I'm a vacation member, because I'm on a vacation. I can't remember. We haven't played it in 10 years. Why'd you write it down? It's like,

I'm on a vacation, permanent vacation, in stripesped sunlight. Yeah, that's the chorus. What's the verse? I don't remember. I don't either. Look it up real quick.

Now we all really want to hear it. Look it up real quick on your phone. Look up striped sunlight. It says, hilarious when Andy brought 12 people to Bobby Lee's house. What happened? Okay. I broke my arm. My assistant. We talked about this already. But I broke my arm. My assistant. We talked about this already.

But I broke my arm. My assistant. Yeah, he tried to punch me in the face. So I blocked it. And I got what's called a police break. It's like when you raise your arm to block your face and they hit you with their baton. It was his fist that was just as hard as a baton.

And it broke. Play it in the background so I can hear it. And then broke it in two and got put on Vicodin. And I was already doing okay, not that well. The Vicodin just threw me over the edge. And then I was on Bobby Lee on lots of... I took all the Vicodin within a week. You're supposed to have it for a month or something

and so i was on there but i was having a good time i was laughing and and funny and then i think i was trying to get other illicit drugs which is very hard for me to do because people i can't even really walk into a bar anymore i go into a bar and they're like aren't you supposed to not be drinking every bar i go into thanks dr drew mission accomplished it's good all right stripes sunlight and then um so uh and then so people started coming to pop he actually moved out of that apartment yeah oh he bought a house though i think he was already going to but like he's got the most did you ever hear his bottom his stories yes where he crapped his pants liquid and went down his leg during the live mad tv where his mom had to chase was chasing him in a field with the car

bouncing around like he's he saw the front of the car going over fields. His mom was chasing him.
