Ask Dr. Drew - “Tax The Sun?”: Dr. Willie Soon on Climate Change Grifters, Viva Frei on Massie Primary & Comedian Brad Williams on “Short Street” – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 626

Episode Date: May 22, 2026

Climate change fanatics call Dr. Willie Soon a “contrarian”… when they’re being kind. The renowned astrophysicist and geoscientist, once employed at the Smithsonian, controversially asserts that the climate is solar-driven, the carbon dioxide narrative is wildly overstated, and our real priority should be adaptation and affordable energy—not pretending we can regulate the sun. Dr. Willie Soon breaks down why carbon dioxide is plant food rather than a pollutant, why the UN climate committee is suddenly backtracking on its most extreme doomsday warming scenarios, and the blatant hypocrisy of Bill Gates walking back climate doomerism to protect his energy-guzzling AI data centers. Attorney Viva Frei discusses why he is growing increasingly “black-pilled” and breaks down the massive grassroots fury surrounding Rep. Thomas Massie’s shocking primary defeat after Donald Trump endorsed his opponent. Beloved comedian Brad Williams brings some much-needed laughter and discusses his highly anticipated comedy special ‘Live on Short Street,’ headlining Cirque du Soleil’s ‘Mad Apple’ in Las Vegas. David Freiheit, known as Viva Frei, is an attorney and political commentator. He hosts the Viva Frei Show on Rumble and Locals and cohosts Viva & Barnes Live with attorney Robert Barnes, focusing on constitutional law, civil liberties, and current events.

All right, everyone, a little Jimmy door there for open. It says a little amuse bouch. We are then joined by Viva Frye. Just a few moments. The Viva Fry on XVivafri.com and on Rumble Viva Fry. We are going to talk amongst other things about compatriots heading down, following him down into the United States. Gad said on his way here for a new job at the Ole Miss.

And we're going to talk about the recent loss by Thomas Massey to see what Viva feels about that. And then Dr. Willie Soon is going to come in here talk about the climate hoax and what he has called the Revenge of the D students. When he told me about this a few years ago, I was a little confused.

I didn't quite get it. Now I get it. And then finally, Brad Williams comes in here. He is a comedian. He's a friend. He's got a new special coming up called Live on Short Street. All that.

I also want to thank Spencer Pratt for featuring some comments I made on actual friends on his tweet about five minutes ago, where he showed me saying something I've said forever, which is that if I could treat addiction by just putting a seriously mentally ill with profound brain disease patient into four walls and we're done here, wow, I really wasted a lot of time those 25 years running treatment programs. Should have just listened to Karen Bass.

Her not only is four walls part of her solution, but teeth. She's going to give meth addicts teeth, and that should take care of everything. Because, you know, they don't have teeth, so they feel bad so they do meth. Wow. Okay. Well, hysteria is alive and well, and climate hoax is one of those hysterias. We've gone from climate to COVID to monkeypox. Oh, there's the ad right there.

And there I am on that ad. To monkeypox, to antivirus, to Ebola virus. I mean, they are trying so hard to get you riled up, so you will hand over some of your liberty, as Alexander Hamilton warned us 250 years ago, that if we really need safety, we will gladly relinquish our liberty. And we need to remember safety Uber-Alus

is an unhealthy position to be in. And safety, committee for public safety, in fact, is what perpetrated the terror in France in 1789. 1792. Robespierre's committee was called the Committee for Public Safety. Just keep that stuff in mind as they try to nanny state you into submission. You're right back at Viva Frye after this. Our laws as it pertain to substances are draconian and bizarre.

The psychopaths start this. He was an alcoholic because of social media and pornography, PTSD, love addiction. Fentanyl and heroin. Ridiculous. I'm a doctor for, say, where the hell you think I learned that? I'm just saying, you go. 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 Loveland all the time. Educate adolescents and to prevent and to treat. You have trouble. You can't stop and you want to help stop it. I can help. I got a lot to say.

I got a lot more to say. One of my very favorite people and, of course, very favorite guest, Viva Fry. Welcome back, my friend. Oh, thank you very much, Drew. How's it going? Excellent. So a couple things. A couple things.

I have been to the Great Northern Territory since we last talk. I went to Toronto. And if you remember, you warned me about how much it has changed. It has changed. It's still a very international city. I didn't have the same reaction to it that you do. Because remember, I lived in Southern California my whole life, and people don't understand it's, you know, United Nations here.

It's, you know, everybody's here. And so that's happening in Toronto now. Yeah, well, look, I've never liked. Toronto, I always jokingly refer to Toronto as New York of Canada, except without the charm. But no, look, last time I went, you know, it was the UN of Canada. And it's not even a, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, people see it's racist to observe a demographic shift. It's a matter of fact. And it's one that even the local immigrant population doesn't like the, the, the, the, the, the cab driver, cab or Uber was an Indian man who's been in the country for 35 years.

And he's like, the country has gone to hell. the new immigrants are not assimilating in any way, shape, or form. And it's not the same country that he immigrated to with the intent of adopting and espousing Canadian values. You have similar problem in some parts of the U.S. But as far as I'm concerned, it's a different city, it's a different province. But Canada as a whole is a different country now. Well, good news. Good news.

They had a Sikh day parade for, was he a Sikh, the gentleman that you were talking to? Because they had a Sikh day parade while I was there. and I could look outside my hotel, and there was about 10,000 seeks marching down, I don't know what street that is, a university avenue. And so good. It's all being celebrated. The Canadians are super knife. I got to tell you, when you go to British Columbia, super nice, super nice,

but you scratch under the surface and there's seething rage. I didn't get that in Toronto. I just got the nice. And they're all about compassion, nice, and good for them. I'm glad you made it back, Drew. Well, your friend, Gad's sad. My friend too is making his way down here now. Before we get into Gad's story, tell me, have things cooled down for Viva and Barnes.

Oh, no. Are you crazy? First of all, I love taking the ricochet flack for Barnes because Barnes is a little bit sauce. I'm pretty saucy. But I don't pick fights with everybody. Barnes picks fights with everybody. amount of time my cell phone blows up with you.

Like, hey, why did Barnes just call me names on the internet? You know, it's funny. Everybody's got their own, everybody's got their own style. Everybody's got their own tactics. And some people have better track records than others. But yeah, nobody's going to let Barnes forget about this one, where he was vigorously championing Thomas Massey, predicting, as I thought Thomas Massey was going to win.

But, you know, now that he was wrong in the prediction, it's, you know, people never let you forget. And they always hold it against you. like it somehow invalidates an otherwise very, very good above average track record. But no, nothing's calmed down. It's toxic. It's getting worse. I would say the worst actors have learned the wrongest of lessons on the internet.

And they are acting in the way that they think got them the victory as though, even if it were true, acting like a bunch of toxic, shameless, remorseless bullies, that that's somehow going to, you know, mean long-term success, which it won't. But, you know, it's an ugly, ugly environment. on X right now. It almost makes you want to just tune out of it, but you need to still know what people are saying, know what the arguments are, and know where the fight is. But no, Thomas Massey lost. It's very, it's disappointing for me, not because I was out there stumping for Massey. I wasn't. I like Massey. I don't think he's at all the, the demon that people have made him out to be.

What got me vocal in all this was the absolute nastiness, the hypocritical nature of the attacks on Thomas Massey, and I'm not one to sit around, not that Thomas Massey needed me to defend him. I don't put up with crap. I don't like hypocrisy, and I don't like people being unfair even in battle. And what was done to Massey was the dirtiest, nastiest, most hypocritical attacks on a human who even if you don't want them to win, you go about it in the way that shows human decency, not in a way that makes you worse than the left in their attacks on Massey. So that's what pissed me off about it.

Now that they won, they think, you know, all's fair and love and war, and they're the righteous ones and they were vindicated and they learned for the wrong lessons because I think long term this might be a victory but it's going to be a pyrrhic victory yeah the he got taken by politics i mean jd vance was speaking about him in november or october saying that you know we can't we've got such delicate political balance underway this guy always voting against us he's going to get eventually taken out and and i that he just was observing he wasn't say i'm going to try to take you out he was saying, gosh, we can't have him running amok all the time because the politics have gotten so difficult. I am sorry to see this mind out of the mix. He's such a brilliant dude. And he

philosophically stands up for what he believes, which I like also. Well, let me just so people don't scream at the screen. J.D. said that. The reality is he doesn't vote against Republicans all of the time. It's a big, fat lie. I have my bowling league. And I'm talking to two older generations. guys and hey, you know, I'm on my phone and like, what are you doing on your phone? I'm like, oh, it's the Kentucky primaries. I'm going to be a little distracted tonight. And they go, oh, what's going on in Kentucky? I was like, Thomas Massey versus Ed Gowleron. Oh, you didn't know. Isn't he the anti-Trump guy? The branding of Massey's anti-Trump that he votes against Republicans all the time. It's a lie. It's a piece of propaganda

that if anybody catches themselves repeating it, congrats, you've been duped, and I say with no judgment by the propaganda. And I appreciate the argument that you burn enough political goodwill, they'll come back and bite you, especially when they carry the bigger end of the stick. And everyone says, she voted against the one big, beautiful bill because he wanted to defund ice. I mean, A, it's a lie. That's not why he voted against it. He had good reasons for voting against it. But yeah, it highlights the reality that in politics, there's little room for principles. So you have to compromise your principles if you want to play politics and not have those who carry the bigger end of the stick beating you down with it because they have the power to do so.

or something i forget what of our which are our founding fathers used this word frequently was the word was prudence when do when do you when is prudential approach you know he who fights and runs away lives to fight another day right and so you have to kind of and i i feel like we've lost someone with him i hope he does something interesting i mean he's got he's got such a great also didn't he have like eight terms or something? Isn't it about time he stepped out? He's been there for a long time and and you know people say he did he did nothing for Kentucky in the 12 or 13 years.

And you look you live to fight another day if you if you you know fight wisely or and some people say well now he lost we don't know what chapter of the book we're at right now. Above and beyond having lost Massey he was the only one out there really who was opposing the FISA 702 renewal. He was the one of the voices opposing immunity for glyphosate manufacturers. He was one of the voices out there against the COVID jab for, you know, agricultural independence. And so for people to say he was anti-Trump and he was a Democrat, that's political nastiness.

To come in and mock him and demean him and demonize him for having had allegedly relations with women too soon after his wife died of 31 years and apparently a monogamous relationship. And like, you mother effers, this is exactly what they did to Erica Kirk. and you guys were jumping down their throats, as was I, vocally, shaming anybody who dared say, Eric is not grieving the way I think a woman should grieve. How dare she put her hands in J.D. Vance's hair? And then those very same people turn around and say, Thomas Massey was dating too soon after his wife died. That's your ethical standard right now.

And they don't understand how hypocritical it is, given the amount of very prominent politicians who have had open affairs on their spouses. What really drove me just to get vocal about it was there's fairness in the battle. and then there's just disgusting nastiness. And now they've gotten away realizing you can pull out the Brett Kavanaugh bogus sexual deviancy allegations and it wins. It works.

It's disgusting when they do it to Kavanaugh. It was disgusting when they did it to Trump. It was bull crap when E.G. and Carol came out with 35-year-old allegations. But now somebody comes out and says, I had a relationship, allegedly, but not even necessarily physical, with Thomas Massey.

After his wife died of 31 years, and that's the level of immorality that they now find disqualifying I mean, look, you don't even have to like Thomas Massey to know what principles are to stand up for fairness in life. And if you didn't, fine. If you got away with it now, you see something. Sorry, girlfriend. I'm just going to go for it.

Completely agree with you. And yet really, are you surprised? I know, I'm, I'm disappointed, Dr. Drew. Yes, disappointing. I am too. I'm disappointed all the time. Constantly. Yeah.

And it's not just the loss of Massey. That's a loss in and of itself, although we've got seven more months and we'll see what happens in those seven months. It's the lessons that were learned. And this victory will go down, I think, more as a Pyrrhic victory than a meaningful victory because it's nice. Oh, great. You beat Thomas Massey in a registered primary, Republican primary in Kentucky. If you think that what happened to Thomas Massey is going to be good long term for the MAHA coalition at 1, 2024, you're delusional. You're just drunk on your own bully power right now.

And when it comes to bite you in the ass, you're going to blame the very same people that you've been abusing for the last however many months. And so that's what really evolved as me is long term. I believe this is going to be net positive for Democrats because this is really, really, you know, soured a lot of people's views who are the most vocal Maha-Maga coalition that led to Trump getting elected in 2024.

He's leaving the Concordia. Was that the university he was at before? Yeah. He was telling, I heard him in a interview this morning saying that people are like, how do you not get canceled? You're saying all the things that people, you know, claim aren't true. And yet you're, you know, you're an evolutionary biologist. And you're just talking about biological facts.

And he said, because I'm the ultimate victim. He fled from somewhere in the Middle East, where his parents were tortured and he was almost murdered. Lebanon was it? And he's just got one victimology cred after another. And so they can't get him. And he gets them at their own game, which is kind of interesting. But suicidal empathy is a great book and a great point.

It's now number one New York time bestseller as he approaches coming to join you, monsieur, here in the United States. I might be hanging out with him sooner than later. And he's also going to come back on the channel sooner than later because he was on a while, I mean, a number of times, but when he was writing it or right after it got sent out for editing. But just to add a qualifier, how has he not been canceled in Canada and at Concordia University? For those who don't know, Concordia University is in Montreal.

It's the rival brother, but the lesser of the brothers, between Concordia and McGill University. It has always been a notoriously anti-Israel, anti-I'm reluctant to use the word anti-Semitic, anti-Israel institution, very progressive, very pro-Palestinian. And back in 2002, they blocked Netanyahu from speaking, just to give you an idea as the flavor of Concordia. But how has he not gotten canceled? There's one word for that, and it's tenure.

Because if he weren't a tenured professor at Concordia, they would have gotten rid of him so fast. He wouldn't have been able to say boo before he left. He's a vocal critic of Islam. And Concordia has a very, very predominant Muslim. Middle Eastern contingency. It's not a majority, but that's what it's always been known for. And he ran into a lot of trouble with it there, security issues,

boycott issues, protest issues. They would have fired him so fast if he weren't tenured. So that's how he didn't get canceled from Concordia. But he's finally making it to the Great America. And he's going to love it. Mississippi is lucky to have him. And he's an intellectual powerhouse, even if you disagree with some of his politics. Yeah, it's old miss.

And I always, you know, evolutionary biology is how I was trained. And so, you know, whenever you want to come to an understanding of humans or get to an understanding of why things are the way they are, it's just a foundational principle about biology. You just go, okay, what's the evolutionary purpose of this? And when it comes to all of this, he's just, he's just grounded in that. And so the things he's talking about are well established. It's not like these are radical ideas. they're well established. They've been that way as long as biology has been taught

once we sort of broke out of the sort of natural history paradigm. Well, I'll be glad to see him here. Old Miss is not where I would imagine he would go, but they're going to start some sort of freedom caucus. There is some freedom course that he's going to be a part of. The irony is there was at one point in time he took some flack for a joke that he used to make about the deep south or southern America. He's now understanding that you get to Florida,

you get to Georgia, you get to South Carolina, Alabama, they have, it's the most welcoming people on earth. And he's going to get along very well. He's, his evolutionary biology and the way he applies it to the world is incredible. The problem is when politics trumps empirical observation and when, not virtue signaling, but political correctness, trumps the realities of evolutionary biology. Well, then you get into the realm of suicidal empathy where,

for people to deny what is empirically and historically true for their own good conscience and virtue, well, that leads to collapse, societal collapse, risk and on all sorts of things. The new book is going to be amazing. It is out.

It's number one time. New York Times is number one bestseller. But he gets into some really interesting territory. He's got one paradigm that I always liked. You know, he was saying one of the ways that males, you know, male primates have two sort of strategies towards mate behavior.

One is aggression and sort of, you know, becoming the alpha male. But the other is to be a sneaky fucker is to be someone that seems much less threatening and very nice. And he starts hanging out with the female cohort and gets in there that way. And we have had a whole rash of males

that have been sneaky fuckers in this country. He's going to be pointing that out. No, every male feminist, so-called male feminist, It's, yeah, he's got some other good ones in terms of the, you know, the brain virus of the, oh, what is it? The parasite that infects the wood, the wood cricket. The insect. Yeah, no, no, his, his observations are on, are very much on point.

And it leads to social and political consequences or policy that people don't like to discuss. But, yeah, the, the two methods of attaining reproduction. Yeah, there's, I think one is proven to be more successful than the other. The sneaky fucker, you know, gets away with it once or twice. The persuasive fucker has multiple babies. Resuasive fucker. Sneaky fucker, persuasive fucker. Well, Viva, where can we see Viva and Barnes?

Vibaba Barnes, law.locals.com on X.VivaFri and on Rumble, it's Viva Fry. And I mentioned the last time, Lord Buckley, Mark Grober. We now have a new show on Rumble and on. comedy tube. Viva and Lord Buckley go to the movies where we take a break from politics and we go in depth in movie review and tonight seven o'clock we are reviewing Titanic. And what are you what are you doing the what Titanic? Titanic. That was as long as the actual Titanic took to sink. It's the actual journey. Viva Viva Frye show where should we see that? That's on Rumble daily at three o'clock. Three o'clock, but Eastern time right?

Eastern, sir. All right. Thank you, my friend. Always great to talk to you. Hopefully we'll spend more time in Florida going forward. Hope to see you there. Absolutely. Thank you very much. Cheers.

All right. Next up, we're going to talk about climate hoax and where that came from and why it evolved. The UN has just backed off their climate predictions saying, oh, all that catastrophizing turned out it was wrong.

Turns out New York's not underwater. In fact, you can drive down Fifth Avenue right now see that it's not underwater. The reason that they're reversing it probably is more political than anything else because fuel prices are so high that people don't give a dam about that anymore and they're not going to elect people

that grandstand on a climate issue. They need to be able to survive and get energy. And we have to do something about that now. But Willie Soon is an astrophysicist and geophysicist and he says, and he says he taught, in fact, some of these climate specialists so-called. And in fact, the climate change is something that comes from the sun primarily. And the calculations around CO2 are wildly inaccurate. And in fact, what he calls the revenge of the D students.

You're back with Willie Soon right after this. If there was ever time to be rationally ready, it is now. I urge you to consider getting one of the emergency kits. from the wellness company. Because TWC has seven different kits that are customized for a variety of situations. Wouldn't be a bad idea

to take a look at each considering, say, what we've just been through in California with the fires, I was happy to have the field kit on hand. And the contagion kit, in particular, is suited for what is being predicted to be the next outbreak.

That would be the H1N5 or avian or bird flu. Of course, the same experts from the COVID era are freaking out about this potential pandemic. But don't panic. Just arm yourself. with the meds you might need if this comes to pass.

Contagion Emergency Kit contains Ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine, azithromycin, Tamiflu, and Budesinide, an inhaler that is good for airway reactivity and tightness, as well as reducing viral replication in the airways. Go to Dr.do.do.com slash TWC for 10% off your purchase. Now if you want to see stars, you have to watch them dance, dive, or go to rehab with Dr. Drew. Dr. Pinsky told me that you are having some issues.

He says I'm depressed. Are you? Our friends at Paley Valley, have introduced some new products, and they've outdone themselves again with their strawberries and cream superfood sleep protein. It's delicious. Just like the other bone broth proteins, I add it to my coffee. Or actually, I've used it just in, I've used in cold water and warm water. And, of course, I'm very excited to read this out because I get to drink my bone broth fapuccino that Susan makes for me.

I'm really excited about that. You don't even understand. But I do add the chocolate every morning to my coffee. grass-fed finished bones, not from hides. Superfood sleep protein is designed to help calming nervous system, support natural sleep cycles without synthetics. Work great for me. Made with whole-food phytomelotone that comes from tomato extract.

There's magnesium, chamomile, rishi mushrooms, tart cherry and cinnamon. They are 7 grams of protein and just 70 calories, like so many of the bone broths they make per scoop. And delicious, no-eyed-sugers, dairy, GMO, soy, grain, pesticide, or herbicide. So now you're both bone broth, protein, power. to bookend your day.

You put it in the chocolate and the coffee in the morning and the strawberries and cream at night. Go to Dr. Drew.com slash paleo valley for 15% off your first order and save 20% off when you subscribe.

And sorry, I have to go right to this. Hmm. I can't wait. All right. As I said, our friend Willie Soon has been here before and he calls it the climate grift,

I believe. We'll give him a chance to speak himself. He's an astrophysicist and geophysicist. He has a joint team, joint leader at Series Science, and he has appeared on many shows, including Tucker Carlson.

And he has been targeted by Media Matters. You can find him at series at c-E-S-science.com. Dr. Soon, welcome to the program. Oh, thank you, Dr. Drew. So let's do a brief sort of review of the revenge of the D students as you presented it to me last time. And then we can sort of bring it to the present moment when people like the UN are backing off their hoaxing, catastrophes, catastrophing, catastrophesying predictions. Right, right.

So, yes, indeed. This topic about climate change, I guess, since the planet was born, I guess, 4.5 billion years ago, everybody has been wondering, right? What happened? I mean, the sun, of course, is the power, the engine for the planet Earth. I mean, it's 99.99% of all the energy, including your hair, right? It's actually powered by the sun. And then come along, Al Gore and a bunch of these people, the United Nations especially, the group called the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, they came along and say that, you know what, because we human are burning some fossil fuel. we're burning bainly, oil, gas, cold, things like that, right?

And then we release carbon dioxide through the air, and then they don't count, of course. We're human, you know, breeding out this carbon dioxide. And then they claim that all this stuff is going to cause, you know, ice sheets to melt, polar bear to drink Coca-Cola, all these kind of problems. And I have been investigating such an issue since day one, I would say the time that, let's say,

the first IPCC report was born in 1990, So about 1991, I get started, so one year later. I have investigated this issue until 2026. My hair is a bit white now. I can tell you categorically that, yes, indeed, all these claims about disaster from carbon dioxide is totally made up. There is no scientific basis. There's no crisis.

There's no emergency. There is no such thing. It's completely crazy stuff. I mean, that's why I use a kind word. I don't want to use the word hoax, but indeed it's some form of a hoax. These people have been lying and cheating all their way through, I don't know for whatever reason, but it's really very cynical, very bad stuff. It's all dark.

And they just ignore the sun, indeed. I mean, the sun is the most obvious candidate. If you look at the actual data, science doesn't work by talking, by the way. Science works by formulating ideas, hypotheses, and then test it, try to do measurements to see how the Earth planets is actually really. responding or changing. And we come to the conclusion. By the way, I am not so controversial.

I mean, you advertise me as some kind of controversial scientists. I've been around for a long time. I've only been doing science. The controversy was actually man-made by them. I mean, I am doing science in a very regular, traditional manner. And, you know, science, you formulate hypothesis, you test it, you write scientific papers. And if people say that found something is wrong, you have a media. you're wrong. If you're right, you just show them why you are right. So you explain

things in a proper manner, you know, showing data and ideas and measurements, things like that. I'm completely right. I would say not even 99%, 100% correct as of today, 2026. So that's a long rant, but I better hear your question. There is no question yet so far, but I can tell you that this carbon dioxide story is very sad. It's really sad. No wonder even Bill Gates now created this thing called Climate Gate himself, admitting that he was wrong all along, right? And then President Trump, of course, realized that a few days ago, all their future scenario, these people are predicting that future is going to burn coal of five times the proven reserve, cold reserve. And then they claim that to be reality. And then,

and then when you say, no, it's not even, it's not the word implausible. They love to use the word improbable. No, no, no, it's impossible. That's what I would say. And these people are so full of crap that I tell you, we got to stop them immediately because it's so crazy. It makes no sense. So when I presented you as controversial, my tongue was embedded in my cheek. So it's just that media matters and reliable scientific organizations like that take aim at you if you don't tow the line. So what did you? You obviously think not just a lot about climate change and what the models are, you know, what the scientific reality is, but also how this happened. So are there scientists out there who are just, because they came up, let's give them the best possible review and say,

because they came up with alarming data, got the attention of the media and the attention of the government, then the government saw ways to get votes and gain money and off it went. Is it something like that? Indeed. I mean, nothing short of that, because that's what it is. In my humble opinion, many of the so-called prominent scientists, climate, you know, I would call them alarmists. They are not even a scientist. Scientists is not worthy of the title. They are not worthy of that title.

Mainly because they've been constantly manipulating the system. They're tapping into the human psyche, creating fears. You know, the next minute they will say the eye sheet is going to melt because they're going to shine carbon dioxide laser and melt this. I have challenged them every step of the way. they cannot answer to this sort of simple physics challenge. And they claim they're working on physics. I myself is a physicist. I've been studying physics for a very long time.

I mean, by the way, we are absolutely not the minority. We are absolutely the majority. Okay, I want to, I mean, you want to name names. I mean, I mentioned to your producer that, you know, if you want to mention this media matter calling me some kind of bad guy climate denial, you might as well mention Dr. Karimoulis, which is the Nobel, in chemistry. I mean, he is a friend of mine. He actually gave me a very nice equilist. He's a serious scientist. This guy is not anything for hire because they like to paint me as somebody who can

be paid off easily and then say all this thing that is not supposed to be true. Oh, my God. Oh, no, he froze. I was loving. This is again, yeah, something controversial. Our lines go down. Are you back? You're back. Good. Okay, he's back. for a second there, but hold on. So, you know, in medicine... Government. You still... Yeah, you're there.

In medicine, the way this works is some physician starts to believe him orself to be an evangelist for a cause. And usually there is a subspecialty organization within that cause that he or she represents that benefits from this individual is evangelizing.

For instance, When the opioid crisis hit, it's because a few pain management doctors evangelized and got control of the governmental agencies and the insurance companies and the professional societies. They systematically went around and got control of these groups. You saw it with COVID. Deborah Birx went around to every governor and every public health organization and got them on board with her by evangelizing her position. Who is the evangelist in the geophysical world that has done this to us? Do you know? Oh, many.

One is a reverend. I call him Reverend. He's not a doctor, James Hansen. And then, of course, the current director from NASA Goddard Institute for Space Study, Gavin Schmidt. And then, of course, the famous one from the University of Pennsylvania, Dr. Michael Mann, who created that fake hockey stick, which is not even a real physical measurements.

When the data is showing completely the opposite of what he say, he just, to say that we are all fossil field people. You know, he doesn't have any scientific argument. The real world data shows that he's wrong. And that's as simple as that. And then they always label me as some kind of a amount piece for the fossil fuel company. In fact, I often say that I pay the fossil fuel company all the time, you know what? Right.

But, you know, the same thing in medicine, if you dare stand up and take on these. popular figures so-called, you're the problem. It's a mass hysteria. It's a mass formation. It's the same thing over and over again. It is 20% true believers, 10% of people going, hang on a second. And the other 70% of your colleagues going, keep me out of this.

You're right, but I don't want to talk about it. Is that what's going on? Yes, definitely. I can tell you, if you were to give people, let's say the super secret, everybody get a vote. Because people believe in voting. They somehow believe that science work by majority opinion. No, it's not.

But the fact that they really like that, I can tell you, if you allow people with no consequence, quietly vote, I would say we have 85% of the scientists. Would say that, you know, this CO2 is not actually dangerous and causing all this C level to write. It doesn't do any such thing. You cannot even measure this sort of impact that they're saying. All of it is all completely created.

I mean, you can see already the agenda. One of the topics you say you want to talk about is World Health Organization. What does World Health Organization have to do with climate science? They wanted to create this new group called FIC. The group is called Public Health Emergency for International of International Concern. They even created another committee to try to say now, we have to declare global public health. I don't know. Everybody, there's no such thing at public where I hint individual health, I would say.

And they want to say it's emergency, therefore, you know, we got to do this and that. It's just ridiculous. I would urge you to join those of us that are pronouncing the acronym for public health emergency. Public health, wait a wait, public health emergency of international concern. PHESE. We're pronouncing it fake. From now on, it's pronounced fake. It's a fake.

And I've heard people at the World Health Organization. I've heard WHO officials call it a fake. They've used that pronunciation. So let us adopt their own words. But Caleb, please put up the magazine covers you had there a second ago because I want Dr. Soon to respond to all that. Because I lived through all that. I was an ecologist in the 70s.

I was dealing with acid rain. I was predicting end of fossil fuels. I was predicting a new ice age. That was me. I was there. We had all the data. We had all the data. Except I was a first year of college.

student. I thought I had the data. I didn't know shit. But here's the word Time Magazine did with it. They asked it, rain's going to ruin, can it create a plague and a famine, and the big freeze is coming. One thing after another, we got wrong. What was all that?

I mean, there is some basis to that claim, obviously, because one of the key factor about how the sun and earth, actually, sun is affecting the earth climate, is indeed from basically the changing orbital position of the Earth relative to the Sun.

For example, the Sun could be more eccentric or elliptical, so more circular, right, or slightly elliptical. And then the tilt axis of the rotational axis, which is now 23.5 degree, you can tilt slightly or so. And then another one is actually like a spin top. You can have a precession. So these three effects shows that, in fact, you study the Earth history,

you will see that you have ice ages, right, coming and going every 100,000 years ago, let's say, for the last million years, right? And these effects are clearly somehow related to how the orbital effects is changing. They say that since the 70s that we might have an ice age coming, which is true, because we are currently at the warm period called the Holocin period, the last 10,000 years, and we are overdue for an ice age that is supposed to be coming. But then in between that, And these things are operating of tens of thousands of years.

But in between that, there is this internal factors from the sun's variable light output. That's where my specialty is. I've been studying this for 35 years, indeed. And we make a lot of progress. We are able to find out how much the sun is actually brightening and cooling, you know, brightening and deeming. So we are able to show that effects to be very, very powerful. For example, it explains why we have a period called little ice.

on planet Earth. That's from like, I would say from 15th century to let's say 19th century or so. There was a cold general cold period where, you know, River Thames froze and then you can hear and then you can have the phenomenon of this, all the lakes are frozen so people can start skating on the legs and all that stuff. And so there is indeed such a phenomenon and it's all controlled by the sun. It's whether the sun how much brighter it is or how much dimmer. And the amount is more than sufficient energy because like I say, 99.9% of the energy that supply to the earth is controlled by the sun. The earth intrinsically cannot generate any amount of energy that is substantial enough to change anything, essentially.

And so let me make sure I kind of heard you. So the more minor, many ice-a- I'm sorry, the mini ice ages are more the result of the pulse, the nuclear reactions of the sun and the light and energy that's emitted. And that the major ice ages are due to axis spin and changes in Earth orbit. Am I getting that correct? Yeah, more or less correct. But the changes there is not nuclear per se. It's actually the magnetism. The sun is a magnetic body, right?

It has sunspot, right? We know about sunspot. You have more sunspot. You're supposed, and then there's a bright region, so you actually get brighter. And then when you sunspot minima, you know, every 11 years or so, you will see the sun got brighter and actually dimmer. And then over 300 years or 1,000 years, you can see it changes rather substantially. By the way, we are pioneering in the effects of studying not only the sun, but go look at sun like star, star, are the suns in the universe? And we are actually to provide an actual physical answer to this question.

How much does the sun change over the last thousand years, for example? We find that it's substantially significant so that it can explain just about everything. So the energetic is not an issue. People always try to make it, you know, like a zero-sum game. It's completely not true. The sun power everything. There's nothing left to discuss, really. The CO2 is only what you call a passive response of the system.

For example, if you warm the plant, more, the ocean emit more, carbon dioxide to the air. If you cool, it's actually go down. That's about it. And the plant, of course, the plant kingdom. Don't forget the plant kingdom. They are very important. The biosphere itself is extremely important in terms of governing

how much carbon dioxide you have in the air. And I'm assuming, you know, when you think about these earlier, you know, Pleistocene types of times of ancient history and of the earth, plant life was much more abundant. it because CO2 levers will hire. We'll hire, yes, yes, indeed. These are all truism that you cannot change. Yeah, I know.

I don't know what they don't like about CO2. Because, for example, you ask the current, let's talk about now, the last 50 years. What happened? Yeah, carbon dioxide rises. But you know what? The planet gets greener. It's true because that one is actually a confirmed,

a universal fact that everybody agrees on. Even Al Gore would agree with this. If you don't agree, we'll call him climate change denial. You know, like he doesn't like, he likes to have more desert. He doesn't like green planet. Too bad for him. I would call him a climate change denial. And if you remember,

their previous target was ozone. Right? It was ozone and then they converted that to CO2. That was a better target for their drama. Because ozone was expanding and contracting and was creating quite the necessary ingredients

of a catastrophe. Right, right. I think that's basically what it is. I mean, yeah, ozone issue is very sad because no matter what you try to do, you cannot get rid of the ozone on the planet Earth because it's very simple. You actually, the ozone 90% is stay in the region called stratosphere. It's 10 miles to about 50 miles. And then the rest of the ozone 10% is in the troposphere and surface. But the problem is that you cannot get rid of the ozone. You cannot get rid of ozone because all you need is some UV light and then oxygen, which is never going to go away from the planet.

And the question is that it's actually when you delete the ozone, how long does ozone come back? The ozone come back immediately. Not 10,000 years, not thousand years, not 100 years. It's actually 150 days. That's how quick ozone is being made, okay, in the stratosphere. Well, to be fair, to be a fair, Dr. Sun, you know, the sun is going to Nova out in about 5 billion years. We should probably start worrying about that. Because that's about that, at least we can all kind of agree that there's some sort of,

There'll be some sort of implosion or explosion on the sun in billions of billions of years. So they should worry about that. Listen, I promised to get you out by 245 Pacific here, so I'm going to let you go. But I have a question for it. He's got to go, sir. I know you got to go. Go ahead. It's okay.

It's okay. I'll stay. Please, please ask the question. Okay. So the media right now is going off about the super El Nino. It's going to be horrific. It's the worst El Nino we've ever had. Is that all just media hype or is it just going to be a regular?

This is, sorry, the idea is that we have El Nino's forming now. El Nino come and goes every two to seven years. And of course, over geological time, we have seen very large El Nino. We have seen very weak El Nino. I have to say that I'm sorry, I'm totally unconvinced that this El Nino will be anywhere different from what we have known from the past. And this is observational data. I'm not even speaking about any theory.

If you want to ask if there's any possibility of that carbon dioxide, you want to switch over? You leak from your mouth. It's going to cause this to strengthen or weaken or anything. Hell no, it's been nothing. It's like, boom, like this. You know, it's just four or five degree temperature. It's too hot, too hard.

It doesn't do anything. It's not possible for the carbon dioxide to do this. It doesn't do anything to the hurricane. For example, they say, oh, you can create carbon dioxide. You know, increase the likelihood, but they didn't mention the likelihood. We're talking about 10 to the minus 10, you know, like 10 to the 1 over 10 billion times, you know, kind of effect. It's just not going to happen. I'm sorry, even of probability, I don't like that odd.

So, odd is just nothing. So please don't even bother to entertain that kind of question. It's all, again, all kinds of alarmism that created by these people who are so desperate, right? They are so desperate. I think they're completely confused. And then they kind of hate science in some way because they don't like science. They don't like facts. They constantly want to change facts.

Because they're tough professors like you who gave them D's. Yeah, it's true. I would get them wrong. They're really not very smart people. I mean, very bad people. A bad student, I would say. And I felt bad for them because these people are really like, they shouldn't be getting the degree because they are not qualified.

I mean, John Kerry, oh, it's very easy, very easy. But he failed physics. Listen, it even gets more crazy in the biological sciences. People are not trained to kind of think and use the scientific method. It's a mess right now. At least physics, you know, it boils down to really math. In biology, it's only probabilities, right? It's the first and second, lot of thermodynamics and probabilities.

That's biology. And so, you know, you're, you've got to really understand that stuff. And when people have no exposure to how that works, you can make a lot of things up. All right, my friend. Great to see you. I hope you'll come back again. There may be a reaction to this, and I hope there is, because then we can kind of address things maybe point by point.

If people sort of have issues what you're saying. Please, I think that'll be more productive, and then people should be able to learn. Come to our website. I mean, there's a lot of information. I work on solar freight prediction. I work on a lot of problems, different kind of problem. And that's why I'm totally free now.

I don't depend on any government funding or taxpayer funding. I only depends on donation. That's it. That's the freest thing that I can do. Soon I myself, t-shirts. And that's the... Really soon t-sion, right? It's the series.com?

Series-d-S-S-Science.com. That's where they go? Yeah. That's right. C-E-R-E-S-S-Sign. That's it. Thank you. Thank you so much, sir.

See you soon. Yep. Bye-bye. Very, very interesting. Last time he came, I was sort of caught off guard. I did because I didn't... I was... I was sort of believing it.

And so when he sort of proposed... proposed all this. Well, I could be true, but it seems like an interesting minority opinion. No, it turns out it's not a minority opinion. And lo and behold, now that there's a political calculus

involved here, they're all backing off the hoax. Wild. Let's get a little bit of a relief here from my friend Brad Williams. Killer bumbo bees are coming to. Right. And you felt for the El Nino

and it's just always something. No, I studied weather in college because I flunked out of physics. So I know all. stuff. Another D-sudent having her revenge. Let's see. Brad, you can follow on Funny Brad on X. It's just at Funny Brad. And then let's see, Brad Williamscom. Right after this. Hey, Dr. Drew here. And we are interested in health and longevity. And the longevity

nutrient is Fatty 15. Discovered amazingly by a veterinarian who was responsible for the Navy's fleet of dolphins. Turns out, Dolphins are healthier when they have adequate amounts of pentadecinoic acid, which is C-15. It also, for us, it helps humans as well, reduces the oxidative stress on our cell membranes, which is part of the aging process called ferruposis. So she takes it, I take. The whole family takes it. And if you'd like some, go to Dr. Drew.com slash fatty 15 for yours.

There are discounts there. Oh my God, look, Drew, it's a dolphin. Oh, my gosh. Hey, Dr. Drew here. And even when we travel, we bring the new convenient fatty gummies. delicious and they're portable and they're great. And remember, this is a longevity ingredient. It fights against the oxidated stress on our cell membranes.

We called that process ferroposis, discovered in dolphin research by Dr. Van Watson. And I'm taking this every day, even when I travel. It's fatty 15. I want to take a quick call here. Eric. Janice, go ahead. Christine, you're an ER nurse. Dr. Drew, what happens if you inject something oil-based, direct me?

into a vein. Did the drug company lie to the government, or did the government just choose to lie to the public? New and here is very good. We're able to express ourselves. I don't see the profession doing anything to really build trust beside you. I'm happy to be on here. Thank you for having me. You and I see the world the same way. What is it like for you to be the most chiseled and best looking man in media giving us the information we need? Thank you for the truth. My pleasure. We are going to take your calls at 8333-3-D-R-E-W. Please welcome the one and only Brad Williams.

Hey, guys. How are you? Good to see you again. It's been too long. Happy to come on after something I have no knowledge about. So for people that are watching your show for a while, we go from climate change to dwarf jokes. And I think that just shows you are true.

truly a jack of all trades. And I don't know if a master of any, but you certainly have your foot in a little bit of everything. And I appreciate that about you. And I told Susan, I said, first thing is going to give us crap about that dolphin ad. I guarantee it. So, I mean, you must have missed that.

No, I saw that. And I know that there are some good interns at USC that you can hire to just type in little prompts into AI that can give you a doll. that can actually jump out of there. They're apps now. Talk to Elon. Type into Grock, a dolphin jumps out of water,

and I'm sure you'll get something minorly better. Hell, hell, dress up Adam Carolla in a dolphin suit. Okay, dress him up, have him do that move right there. Be slightly more believable. You will enjoy that. It was intentionally cartoon-esque, and it was, was with the help of some of the staff from your mom's house. That makes absolute sense.

Nothing. Nothing there is surprising to me as all. And my production, by the way. And Susan, yeah, Susan, of course. I mean, that. I mean, that acting is brilliant. The only problem, Susan, is that no one is listening to Drew because you are in a bathing suit. So that is the only problem.

Yeah. Yeah. No, no. That's the reason it's good. Live on Short Street, tell me about it. This is my brand new special. It is on my YouTube channel at Brad Williams Comedy. This is my fifth one hour special.

And we called it live on Short Street because we filmed it in Lexington, Kentucky at the Lexington Opera House. That is actually located on Short Street. That is the actual street that it is located on. I thought we were going to call it something different. Then we got there. We saw Short Street on the street side. I thought they were pranking me, to be honest with you. I thought that they just put that up because like, who's playing here this week?

Brad Williams, okay, Short Street, which at first, at first made me terrified. Because I'm like, where did they put the street name when Bruce Bruce is here? That is frightening. So I'm calling it live on Short Street. It's doing great so far. And I always love releasing a new special. The only scary part about releasing a new special is now I've got to write a new one. Yeah, I know.

that's what everybody complains about. Because you have not just write a new special, but you have to rework all the material because everyone's seen it now, so you have to go out with new material on your tour. So are you touring right now? Yeah, I'm touring. It's the Tall Tales Tour.

But here's the thing, Dr. Drew, I'm actually taking three months off for the summer. I have heard my family are lovely people. I would like to see them. I would like to get to know them a little bit. So we're going to take some, summer vacations. I'm going to be reintroduced to these people. And I'm stoked to be taking that time off, but then back in the fall, we go right back on tour. And it's actually a world tour now.

We're going to Scotland. We're going to England. We're going to Sweden. We're going to Norway, Amsterdam. We're even going to make Germans laugh. That is going to be one of the biggest challenges of my career. We're going to Berlin. So I'm going to make Germans laugh. too. Vienna? Yes. Vienna also or just just German? I'm going to Austria. They're worse. Oh boy. Austrians are worse. You wait and see.

Yeah. You're going to Oh, goodness. I can't wait to be on stage and then just have a whole audience people going, I do not know why this little man is considered funny. It's going to be it's going to be frightening.

Like, I don't know what to me would have done. If he was Jewish, you would have thrown him in easy bake oven. I'm not sure how the jokes will go. Too far. I have no idea how this is going to go, but I enjoy touring not only around the country, but I like doing the world tour

because when you go around the entire country and you go around the entire world, you find out how alike we actually are. We're not all that different. Everyone wants the same thing. We want safety, prosperity for our loved ones and for ourselves. Certain people might disagree on ways

to achieve this goal. But overall, that's what everyone wants. And when people go, like, do you change your act for red states or blue states? I go, no, funny's funny. Funny's funny. And I don't care who you vote for. We're going to have a wonderful time. If you come see my show, there will literally be a theater full of people, a thousand people. No one will care who you vote for, who you pray to, who you lay down with. Everyone's going to be in that room, the same place, the same time, all having the exact same thought, which is, wow, that dwarf is funny. Well, to that point, you mentioned, that you thought you were being pranked when they came up with Short Street for your appearance. And I want to apologize because I know I always make you tell this story, but I think it's so fascinating

and an important share how your dad treated you when it became clear that you had endicondroplasia. Because just, you know, this is actually a, you know, this is hats off to your dad for having done what he did, you know, to help you. And tell the story. Yeah, first of all, my parents are not dwarfs. People think that we all come from the same tribe, and that's not the case. I didn't grow up in a mushroom with a door in it. That wasn't the family home. So my dad, upon knowing that I was going to be a little person,

what he did was his philosophy was my son is going to get bullied. It's going to happen. I could train him for the world that is or the world that should be. And he decided to train me for the world that is. So what he did was he would bully me first, but he would do it in a way that would be supportive, where he would make fun of me, but then tell me, okay, now hit me back with something. Hit me back with something. This is what's going to happen in school.

I'm going to make fun of you. You are going to have to hit me back. So we would do this. We would literally sit down and write comebacks together. So when I went to school and kids made fun of me, they had no idea they were already going up against a black belt. So I would make fun of them back. The first day of school, a kid went up and went, ha, ha, you're little. And I responded, ha, your mom doesn't live with your dad anymore.

And growing up in Orange County, I had about a 75% chance of getting that one right, which I did. did. And so I got sent to the principal's office for having the better joke, really. So that's how he raised me. He raised me for the world that is, not the world that should be. There is a difference. Obviously, in the world it should be, there will be no disease, there will be no war, there will be no hatred, there will be no any of that. That's the world that should be. But we're living in the world that is where these things do exist and we have to prepare ourselves and prepare our children for that. And I remember, you know, again, these days we're advocating that people allow kids to develop grit and that misery and struggling is a good thing.

It helps build character and resiliency and whatnot. And to that point, your dad used to put the cereal box high up on the shelves. Yes. Yes. He knew that the world was not necessarily designed for me. So he would put things up high and say, okay, go get it. And I would, you know, maybe I'm part dwarf part Spider-Man because I would learn to climb up.

And it was really confusing for our neighbors. They would just see a dwarf child climbing up on the window like some sort of disgruntled Garfield that you would put on your windows. That's a joke for the kids of the 80s. Anyway, but yeah, he would put these obstacles in front of me, expecting me to solve them. Because as he told me, he goes, I'm not going to be around forever. It won't be solving these problems for you forever.

And you have to be able to do it on your own. And thank God he did. And thank God my mom let him. And so now when I board an airplane and I'm going down that middle aisle and I feel eyes on me, I feel all the other pastors go, they're all thinking the same thing. How the hell is he going to get that bag in the overhead storage bin? How is this going to work? And it's fine because then I do it.

I just throw down the armrests, jump on, grab it, chuck it up in one motion, and it's the easiest standing ovation I ever get. No jokes involved. I just turn around the entire plane. Do you get applause? You must get some applause for that. It's so inspiring. That's amazing.

I should do more with my life. I suck. Yeah. That's what happens. It's one of the things about having a disability that no one ever warns. you about, and that is that when you're born with a disability or a difference, you will get to be inspiring for no reason whatsoever. Look at all you have to do to be inspiring, Dr. Drew. You have to get a medical degree. You have to have multiple radio shows. You have to be a television star. You have to do

all of this. You have to raise triplets. Nothing like putting your suitcase in the rack. Exactly. Exactly. Yeah, but then I do that and they're like, Nobel Peace Prize. He's given us perspective. So that is, that is my benefit, is that I get to be inspiring for accomplishing absolutely nothing. And then, and then I saw you talking about Chuck Norris and the kid that was in the sixth sense. Oh, this is, yeah, this is my podcast. I don't know if you guys have seen this clip. I first saw it on the Conan O'Brien show, so I want to give him credit. And then my podcast

partner, J.B. Ball, had never seen Walker, Texas Ranger. So I showed him a clip, which I think this summarizes the show, where, uh, this is after Chuck Norris passed away and we were eulogizing Chuck Norris and I talked

about Walker, Texas Ranger. He didn't know what I was talking about. So I brought up this clip where Haley Joel Osman is with, uh, do you have the clip just so I'm not spoiling it, or do you want me to say it? Do we have it? I have it. I could play it.

I just, I mean, I guess we're towards the end of the show, so we might not get a copyright strike on it. Okay. All right. Yeah. You do it? So let it run. Yeah, all right.

Go ahead and let it run. Here it goes. One clip that I will argue for Walker, Texas Ranger, being a good show. Okay. This is Chuck Norris talking with Haley Joel Osman, and there's a third guy in this scene. Well, pardon my French, but I'll be the end. Walker told me I have age

What? That went south so fast. Who wrote this? What kind of bedside manner was that? There was no tact to that at all. We didn't even like tease that. I take it back. I take everything back.

This show's great. This show's fantastic. I just saw the wrong episodes. This show's amazing. I'm going to give you a Walker, Texas Ranger. signed box DVDs that. My God, I'm not touching it. I ain't touching it. Has that thing been tested?

Scarves him. And his most famous line is I see dead people? So now, I ask you, I ask you, Dr. Drew, was your bedside manner somewhat more tactful when you were diagnosing and talking to people?

Or are you just blunt force trauma like that? No, no, no, no. that was exceptional. Unusual. I just love it. And I'm so glad Conan O'Brien allowed me to find that clip and allowed many to find that clip because someone wrote that in the writer's room and just said, well, how do we reveal?

How about we just have the seven-year-old say, Walker told me I have AIDS? Done. Done. Let's all go to lunch, everybody. Crazy. Oh, and they're worrying about AI. Yeah, yeah, no. AI couldn't have done that.

AI would be like, well, no, there's got to be some sort of tact or build up or anything. No, it's one-force trauma. We've got to make it sound human. Yeah, and that's the kind of stuff. If you listen to my podcast, it's called Height and Babel. It is important to get your information, your news, and various sources, and have different perspectives. absolutely. But if you ever want to just shut off the news and have two comedians just crack wise for an hour and find ridiculous stories that we find on the internet, if you ever wonder what

it's like when a 6'3-black guy and a 4-4 white dwarf come together and hang out and listen to my podcast called Height and Babel. It's me and J.B. Ball. Antics ensue. Where do you find it? anywhere that you find podcasts. It's really great to do, as you know, it's really great to do a podcast with a friend. And normally we will always eventually, now you've toured the country. Have you ever eaten at a Waffle House, Dr. Drew?

Of course. Okay, good. I want to make sure. Good. I want to make sure, because that is my favorite thing to do after a show is going with J.B. Ball and just crack wise.

and talking to Waffle House until 2 o'clock in the morning. And the other thing about going to Waffle House is an insanely good people watching. You will get a meal and a story. I don't know if either will be good, but both will be memorable. You will get a meal and a story. And one thing that we realize is that as a 4'4 white guy and my friend J.B. being a 6'4-3 black guy, when we walk into the Waffle House, that's when all the heads turn and go, well, what the heck is,

how did that relationship happen? How did that go down? Why are these two together? They just think there's an insane new category of gay porn. Oh, Jesus. Brad, thank you for being here. I got to wrap this thing up. Funny Brad, and then go to YouTube to get the live on Short Street

and then see the podcast and look for Brad on tour, follow on X at Funny Brad at Brad Williams Comedy. Come back soon. Yeah, and we miss you. We'll see you soon. Hey, miss you guys. Anytime you'll have me back, I'll come on and crack wise. If ever there's a dwarf story in the news, you know who to call.

I do. All right, my friend. Talk to you soon. Love it, guys. Thank you. See you. Yeah, you may forget, Susan. We were at his wedding.

Remember? I know. And it seems like it was a long time ago. I know. It's crazy. And now he's got two kids. No, they have two kids, I think, now. What's coming up?

I liked his comeback thing. because I did that with my kids because they'd always go, oh, someone so is it. I go, you have to have a comeback, okay? You don't just take it like that. You have to give it back. So where are we here? We are on the 26th. We have Drey Mateo and Sarah Westfall coming in on the 27th.

Hang on. I'm getting confused. The 28th, are we here? Yes. Is that true? Hold on now. It's the, on June 2nd is when Kelly Victory is hosting, Dr. Victory. And then we have Gadsad on June 17th.
