Starting point is 00:00:00 Globally, humans are facing massive problems that are widely ignored by governments and the media. Like personal space invaders. I've had it with these couples that sit on the same side of the booth. Yak mouths. Stupid stick figure bumper stickers. Almond milk. You cannot milk an almond. Hi, I'm Jennifer.
Starting point is 00:00:17 And I'm Angie. We call her Pumps, and we're the hosts of I've Had It. Pumps, tell the listener where they can find us. Apple, Spotify, Amazon, or wherever you get your podcasts. Nailedinsky. You're listening to The Adam and Dr. Drew Show. Yeah, get it on. Got the other chance. I think I'm going to have to bet that I don't know.
Starting point is 00:00:50 Dr. Drew's in Florida. Again, board certified fish and fish and musician. Chris Max Pata is in. Hey, guys. Got some relevant news stories for us to dig into. Yeah. First off, Drew, I'm excited to hear your thoughts on this. So the pharmaceutical giants behind Ozempic and Munjaro, they're zeroing in on their next potential market for weight loss injections.
Starting point is 00:01:18 So hold on a second. I like the way Max Apata already is behaving like a journalist here. He's biasing everything. The giants from pharmacology, they're zeroing in on – Yeah. Hey, dude. Damn it, Drew. Their job is doing research on biology and coming up with medication to adjust biology.
Starting point is 00:01:40 Okay. They've come up with some good treatments, and they're going to get some more. All right. Okay. Okay. biology okay they've come up with some good treatments and they're going to get some more all right okay okay so these evil companies they're cut they're zeroing uh they're zeroing in on kids first graders sick ages six um they're going all the way to age 12 they're they're testing their uh their injections to see for weight loss right so are we okay are we okay with this? No, 100% not. People have no idea about sort of downstream effects. Correct. And we don't understand that things don't live in a bubble.
Starting point is 00:02:14 Everything kind of commingles and affects everything else. It's like I always say, right? What's my statement? No free lunch in nature. Oh, wait a minute. Yeah. But quietly kill the juice that's the one i remember but that's just when you've kind of been drinking and it's just kind of us but into the microphone into the microphone it's always into the microphone it is it is always
Starting point is 00:02:40 no free lunch in nature okay so i've done this because I've realized I've done my own little experiment. And the people I know, and I'm thinking of a couple of them, that look the best naturally in a bathing suit with no working out, just a hand dealt by God, eat whatever you want, drink whatever you want, live whatever lifestyle you want, and take your shirt off with pride at any beach are the laziest, least successful people I know. And we strive to be like them, physically at least. Because weight is a perfect building block for, and measuring stick for ethic. It's like every single day you have to make a decision. And by the way, not every day, multiple times a day. You know, you have to, you know, somebody said to me, I did a show in Irvine two weeks ago.
Starting point is 00:03:47 Somebody baked me an entire pineapple upside down cake. Like a huge, like tray. A tray. So you ate the whole thing. And they handed it to me. And I didn't want to throw it away. Obviously, they bake this. I did.
Starting point is 00:04:03 I love pineapple upside down cake uh but i also know that i'm trying to lose 10 pounds so i brought it home and and it sat in the fridge for a day or two and then at a certain point i had a little breakdown it wasn't even a breakdown i was like this person baked me this wonderful giant cake and I should at least taste it. Yeah. So I cut myself a moderately sized square and I ate it. And then the following day I brought the rest of it into work so everyone here could eat it.
Starting point is 00:04:38 But if I would just put it in my lap on the car ride home and eat the whole thing with my hand and never gain a pound i would definitely do that but i had to exercise some judgment some restraint a little work a little discipline you know and and when weight is a is a thing then it's then then then it is something that you do on a daily basis. If somebody said. Let me drill a little further because I think you'd like this. You always say the reason for the cold showers is not the hormesis that you get from the cold shower. It's to be uncomfortable and just step into discomfort. And that's what losing weight is. It's being uncomfortable a lot of the time.
Starting point is 00:05:21 Yes. time yes but that that self-control and having agency over yourself having agency oh drew's wife she says make sure you tell him this is going to reshred go to where all right not so uncomfortable i'll be shred okay ohshred yeah that's why drew's shredded here's here's my point you get to exercise agency over yourself and then that agency bleeds into all facets of your life that's what i'm saying well that's what i always say to people you know and back to this the v-shred notion which is look there are all kinds of ways to diet the diet you'll there's all kinds of ways to construct it and think about it uh that was one way of doing it and susan and i sign off on it but the diet you'll do the workout you'll do those are the ones you need to do just the ones you'll do right because there's some stuff people will not do
Starting point is 00:06:18 they just won't do it yes and you have to really be honest with yourself what we do and then do it and then be a little um you know, being disciplined for people is uncomfortable. Right. So I have learned that. Yes. But but it's freedom. The discipline is freedom. And people don't understand that.
Starting point is 00:06:37 You sound like Trudeau now. They think sitting on the fucking sofa all day is freedom. It's not. It's discipline. It's having jurisdiction over yourself. And I don't like all day is freedom. It's not. It's discipline. It's having jurisdiction over yourself. And I don't like... I'm the candidate for freedom. I'm the California for freedom.
Starting point is 00:06:51 This is great for adults, but we're talking about overweight kids. Yeah, I know. But look, this is the same... Okay. This... We're in a very dangerous era right now. The dangerous era is jaywalking tickets disproportionately affect black and brown people.
Starting point is 00:07:13 OK, then make jaywalking legal and math test scores disproportionately. Well, then get rid of math test scores. And there's too many legals in L.A. When you pull them over, you can't confiscate their car, can't compound the car, impound the car. So what do we do? Let's just leave them alone. You know what I mean? Okay. Everything is reverse engineer in a retarded way and leave them alone.
Starting point is 00:07:44 So now we have too many fat kids. What's the answer? We got to come up with some drug that makes them not fat. Well, look, if we have too many black and brown kids that are failing in mathematics, the answer is fucking teach them math. And we have too many fat kids. Then the answer is let's fucking figure out why they're fat. This will be ruination of these young people.
Starting point is 00:08:08 It will decimate the group that you're trying to help by dropping every single standard and not holding them up to anything is going to be destroyed by your help. Yeah. That's what I'm saying. Well, it's kind of a little more complicated. I don't disagree with what you're saying, but I would say, you know, once a kid gets to the point that they're obese and they're 10 years old, we kind of have a medical problem at that point.
Starting point is 00:08:38 I agree. Sort of all the diet and exercise and discipline in the world probably won't take care of that. And certainly any of these medications are only after you've done other things, right? You have to really try. By the way, I spoke to a woman just a couple of days ago who believes her father died of a pulmonary embolus because he was taking Osembek a little bit more than his doctor had recommended. And we know for sure it causes gastroparesis, which is a horrible condition of where your stomach can't empty. It's painful. It's miserable. You're nauseated all the time. It's really a bad condition. And they don't know yet what the incidence of that is. So we don't have the data yet to really
Starting point is 00:09:21 know the risk reward. This is the thing that I'm finding in medicine generally. We're kind of, we're zooming ahead on all, you know, we do things, vaccines, lockdowns, without proper risk reward analysis. And that is a bad trend. That's how you hurt people. Listen, the entire time I've known you, every time somebody brings up something, I'm depressed. I want to get on some serotonin reuptake inhibitors.
Starting point is 00:09:50 I wanted to. Classical music and take a hike. It's all I've ever said. Take a fucking hike and listen to classical music. I bet this goes away. Everyone, oh, but you don't know. Are you a doctor? No, I'm a genius.
Starting point is 00:10:04 That's better a crystal brain well listen i think there's universal agreement there's a crystal brain involved you know as a doctor the fat fuck with the bow tie who's been on msnbc for the last two years talking about kids dying and no kid no healthy kid died that douchebag what's that fat fuck's name peter hotez peter hotez that guy's a doctor and he's fucking sitting there trying he's a merchant of fear fucking false information and fucking with everyone for two years on msnbc when it doesn't fucking affect kids that guy's a fucking doctor but i'm a genius so listen to me that's what i'm saying. And every what? Every six month studies come out showing every six months to every study that comes out every six months should just be called the Adam was right.
Starting point is 00:10:51 And we're sorry. Oh, we have another COVID thing. Oh, it turns out we shouldn't have cut it. Oh, it turns out exercise and something. We should have been outside. It turns out the master where the school should have been home because it doesn't affect diet and exercise. Hiking. Classical music. Turns out the masks don't work. Oh, the school should have been on because it doesn't affect diet and exercise. Hiking, classical music. Turns out the classical music.
Starting point is 00:11:09 Okay, just call it the Adam was right study. That's all. We don't need risk reward, Drew. We just listened to a podcast from six months ago. Well, you haven't written the book right yet, Adam was right. Have you? That's the next book. No.
Starting point is 00:11:22 Just put it in there. Just do it. I've decided what your next book is just all it's chronicle all the shit that you were right about let's go back to the mid-90s let's just just just put it out there well listen i've been saying parents parents parents parents these fucking kids with single moms it's a fucking 1997 97 we coined the phrase fucked up people having fucked up kids. Right. Right.
Starting point is 00:11:48 Well, and abandoning them now. You can't recover as a society with fatherless kids. You can't. When that number goes up, every other bad statistic in society goes up. But we'll see. I don't know. Does Black Lives Matter have anything to say about that subject? Or they just want to talk about bad cops, which don't affect you?
Starting point is 00:12:09 They threw quite the rager in the hills the other day, I must say. Oh, they did? Yeah, it was very fun. That was way back, right? I'm just kidding. Yeah. It was way back. All right.
Starting point is 00:12:20 Yeah. So not good for kids right now. We shouldn't be testing them. Listen, I have talked to people that will go, look, I'm just going to have another slice of cheesecake, and then the first year I'm going to get on this Osempic. I'm not going to worry about it. That's not good.
Starting point is 00:12:39 There's a billboard not far from here. Literally, it's a billboard. I don't know if it's still up it's a mile from here it just shows a fat person like food and whatever pizza slices whatever you want just eat whatever you want then we'll we'll shrink your stomach with this rubber band oh yeah or shrink your stomach the rubber and then you just eat whatever you want like yeah these are not good messages at all. Yeah, I'm afraid not. And they often, you know, I would love to see people, you know, hey, we'll give you these.
Starting point is 00:13:10 I can think of ways of using a Zembik as a motivator, too. Yes, you meet criteria. Yes, you've got a medical problem. Yes, you really got to do something here. But I'm not going to give it to you unless you follow an exercise program, that kind of thing. But that doesn't happen. But, you know, Baxapat has got a kid i do right you have a child coming into this world i i want to understand more how it feels to you the world that adam and i are talking i'll tell you how it feels to have adam tell drew height in the world classical music all right but are you worried about i totally am worried and
Starting point is 00:13:47 especially with all the information coming out of what is in food what is in all the mass food out there these days like all the seed oils the the process stuff yes yes you should be very you have to be consciously and it's hard to find food now like hard to find good food you don't think it really isn't i i yeah sorry chris but i i disagree and that somebody now some of it's about finances because people can't afford to go into irwan and get a 2121 chicken salad. That's the problem. You know what I mean? That's right.
Starting point is 00:14:26 Now, as I've always said, you can fucking boil your own hard-boiled eggs and make your own egg salad and stuff like that. Look, the notion that this can't be done or we don't have the money to, no, you have the money. You just have to stay home and do the shit yourself. You know what I mean? But to be fair, I mean, fruit and vegetables go bad, right? You have to be bought regularly, and that's hard.
Starting point is 00:14:49 Yeah, no, I get it. But Trader Joe's is not expensive, and they have a lot of good stuff. That's the most affordable of all the American cities. Yes, and people are starting to realize that the seed oil stuff is a scourge and it's everywhere. And somebody tweeted me that, and I'll screw it up, but like HelloFresh or Sweet Greens or something. Now they have a new campaign where they're not going to have any seed oil. Oh, you nailed this, yeah. Oh, Chris did.
Starting point is 00:15:21 Any seed oils and any of their stuff because it is crazy ubiquitous. But listen, every person within the sound of my voice as freedom rings. Look, when you... Okay, I say stuff. I tell people this all the time. You get... You think you're going to get the mayonnaise that's made with avocado oil instead of seed oil.
Starting point is 00:15:48 That's what you think. That's what you thought. That's what you thought. Mr. Kensington. That's what you thought. That's the good stuff. Yeah. That's what you thought.
Starting point is 00:15:56 Except for you buy the craft brand in the plastic squeeze bottle. With the big avocado on the label. With a happy avocado on it. And I'm saying to you, if it's plastic and it's made by Kraft, in a squeeze bottle, it is, know it. It is Kraft. I'll tell you what's on the back of that label before I turn the fucking bottle around.
Starting point is 00:16:17 Don't get shit in a plastic squeeze bottle made by a company that also makes industrial herbicides and shit. You know what I mean? And dips its foot in the munitions game or something. Don't do it. You have to get a glass bottle in a company you've never heard of.
Starting point is 00:16:38 Well, Mr. Kensington I think has plastic bottles. There are a couple. I just had a bunch of high-end salad dressing and stuff with no whatever. Glass bottle. But here's what I'm saying. Everyone listen to me. You must turn that bottle or that squeeze jar out with the happy avocado on it.
Starting point is 00:17:06 You must turn it around and read the ingredients. Just like when you watch CNN and Dr. Hotez is on there talking about the scourge known as COVID, you must go, well, I must also go find someone else to get my information from. You have to investigate. I have to. I can't listen to this fat fuck lie all day. Okay. And whatever.
Starting point is 00:17:29 The black chicks from MSNBC. What if he's a liar? It's just his opinion. He believes it. I don't think he believes it. I think he believes it. Well, he believes it, but he also believes that if he starts talking about anything sensible, MSNBC is going to throw his fat ass off the air.
Starting point is 00:17:45 Oh, there's a bias. That's what he thinks. So does he believe it? When Mark Garagos hires an expert to get up there and say it couldn't have been his client, does that guy believe it? Or is he doing his job? Is he doing a job? He's doing his job also. Okay.
Starting point is 00:18:01 And his job is to be on again next week. Fucking telling, fucking stringing together bullshit. Misinforming people. a job doing a job also okay and his job is to be on again next week fucking telling fucking stringing together bullshit misinforming people that's what his job is it you should have the same instinct as like if you're on the internet and you see like click this link and you get a free iphone all you have to do is enter your credit card info here that should yeah and obviously we're aware of that like that's a scam well seeing the craft plastic bottle with the avocado that's a scam well so so let's let's make sure people understand what we're aware of that, like that's a scam. Well, seeing the craft plastic bottle with the avocado, that's a scam. Don't click. So let's make sure people understand what we're talking about here.
Starting point is 00:18:30 So we've gone through this period. This is, again, when government involves themselves in bureaucracies, when there's then in health care, rather, and there are bureaucracies involved. The government decided in the 70s that so-called polyunsaturated fats were the answer to heart disease, and that fats were bad, especially animal fats. And lard, and McDonald's took all of its lard oil and converted it to vegetable oil and heated it to 120 degrees, where it's known to be carcinogenic, by the way. Good times. Lard would be vastly superior and taste better, by the way. And I would refer everyone to Kate Shanahan, who I think Adam, you introduced me to her.
Starting point is 00:19:12 She wrote a book called Deep Nutrition. She was the nutritionist and doctor for the Lakers for a while. And she's a family practitioner, a biochemist, serious scientist. And I knew she was real when she said to me, she goes, look, human nutrition and how foods absorb is just way too complex to say anything. So where I can say something is in very narrow areas, and that's in the area of fat. We can say that for sure, that we should get rid of seed oil and vegetable oils and really going towards butter and animal fat. The closer you get to that, the healthier you're going to be.
Starting point is 00:19:47 All right. I want to take a break and hear from our friend Jordan Harbinger, and we'll be right back. You're about to hear a preview of The Jordan Harbinger Show about a guy born into the world of organized crime who spent much of his life as an enforcer for the Italian mafia. When I seen Joey D, we went to the basement, all weapons. His family were gun runners. He goes, pick out something. I take to the basement, all weapons. His family were gunrunners.
Starting point is 00:20:05 He goes, we pick out something. I take him to my cousin's car and I drive to 3rd Avenue and I park right in front of the place. There's a parking space. I got the gun in my waistband. When I walked through and I turned around, I seen him. He had his back to me. For whatever the reason, before she even said it, I had the gun in my hand. This guy gets up. What did I tell you, you dirty motherfucker? Your mother's going to have a close coffee. I'm going to blow your she even said it, I had the gun in my hand. This guy gets up. What did I tell you? You dirty motherfucker. Your mother's going to have a close coffee. I'm going to blow your fucking head off. He opens his jacket and I seen the gun in his waistband. He puts his hand on it. I just picked up my hand like this and emptied the whole clip into him. Joe called him, give him a drink. He
Starting point is 00:20:35 gives me a seven and seven. He goes, look at this kid. He goes, he just killed somebody. He's sitting there killing a cucumber. For more with former mafia enforcer Anthony Raimondi, including the many creative ways mobsters have gotten rid of bodies over the years. Check out episode four to five on the Jordan Harbinger show. Yeah. Do you you guys, you youngins, you haven't experienced this before? Like what I've we've lived this. We've all been lived. My grandfather wanted to eat a soft-boiled egg every breakfast, but he also wanted to be heart healthy.
Starting point is 00:21:10 So he had a nice piece of toast with some margarine on it instead. Can't have the butter. The worst thing you can eat for breakfast, lunch, or dinner would be a piece of toast with margarine on it and and by the way madison avenue got deep into the margarine oh yeah oh my god that's still i think it still affects people margarine was huge when i was a kid i remember like we would always choose margarine over butter because we thought that was the healthier option that's your government at work that is bureaucracy that is government at work. That is bureaucracy.
Starting point is 00:21:47 That is government and health care. It is shit always. It tastes like shit. Yes. And it's a campaign and they're wrong. And it's the exact same thing they did with COVID. Going outdoors and exercising. Vitamin D.
Starting point is 00:22:04 Playing volleyball on the beach would have been the best thing you could have done with COVID. And they took the nets down. Yeah. And told you to stay home. And everyone got COVID. Perfect. And never talked about exercise or sunlight or vitamin D or anything. Okay.
Starting point is 00:22:16 That was now what we do is the same thing women do with shitty hairstyles. They look back on a picture of themselves from the 80s ago. Oh, my God. what was I thinking? So embarrassing. Well, if you live 20 years from now, you'll be able to revisit this because you get to look back into 2023 and go, oh my God, what was I thinking?
Starting point is 00:22:35 You see? That's how it works. And that's what we do. We sit here and go, oh my God, they fucked up the food pyramid. They got it all wrong with eggs. They got it all wrong with butter. Now anyway, lock it down, shut the schools, and stay home.
Starting point is 00:22:48 Because that's what the government says. Right. Because they got everything right. They always get it right. Well, now they get it right. No, no. They got everything wrong in the past. Always.
Starting point is 00:22:57 But not this. Now we're in the present. Well, we were in the present in 1986 when they're telling everyone to eat margarine. So, okay. Do you remember the older generation back then yelling about the government? Is it that cyclical? No. They weren't on to the government.
Starting point is 00:23:18 Adam's mom was signed up for all this BS. Way signed up for it. So this is the first signs of a real revolution then? No, my mom hated the government. She wouldn't now. Oh, she'd love it now. Well, no, no, look. Here's the caveat.
Starting point is 00:23:34 Here's the caveat. You go, if you said to my mom, do you love the government or hate the government? They'd go, if she was being honest honest she'd go uh i don't know who's in charge right my guy or their guy uh yeah oh you got your guy okay and what about california who's in charge oh it's your guy okay then i love that team player yeah that's how i do yeah right yeah right that's how they work but everyone's leaving california because he's fucked up california yeah i know but he's not he's my guy. That's how they do it. The real fall of this
Starting point is 00:24:07 entire thing is that's our guy. That's the problem. Californians should have rebelled against all things COVID, but it was their guy, and they voted him in. We picked him. We got to make him right. Remember, he was doing anything Trump said
Starting point is 00:24:23 the opposite, so that's correct that was his playbook yeah yeah yeah it was trumped arrangement top to bottom yeah that he stuck with it so long was the part that i find crazy and and i blame his uh health director his public health director for that who again pediatrician no judgment in adult health good job sir well done well what about barbara Ferrer? What was her? Oh, well, that's, well, I can't even ask for it. Yeah, I can't even talk about her having clinical judgment because she's a sociologist.
Starting point is 00:24:52 She doesn't have any. Yeah. Yeah, she has no clinical training. None, which is so bizarre. Oh, my God. People, it's everyone's fault but mine. Everyone should have fucking rose up and went, we're not going to listen to a fucking thing this crazy gypsy sca crazy bitch is saying, who would,
Starting point is 00:25:09 it's already kind of, yeah, but I don't know. Nobody's listening to her anymore. Like I brought, like she's disappeared almost. Yeah. She's gone.
Starting point is 00:25:17 She still has her job. And that's a huge, huge problem. Yeah. Cause if something happens again, she'll do all this shit all over again. She's not learned. She's no training.
Starting point is 00:25:25 She doesn't understand how she hurts people. She still feels justified in everything she did. So. Oh, interesting. Yeah. Oh, Drew,
Starting point is 00:25:32 you know, everyone yells at me when I say chick think that's what we did. We hired a lefty nut job, lunatic chick, and she destroyed a city with her fucking sorcery. No leg on her face at all. Fucking idiots.
Starting point is 00:25:50 Adam, what do we do now though? You don't listen to anything they fucking say. We all go to the beach when they tell us we need a Corolla revolution. Listen, you call it out every chance you get. That's all. Rub it in the face every fucking chance you get. That's all. That's all. You rub it in the face every fucking chance you get.
Starting point is 00:26:07 Yeah, that's it. It's a marathon. You make sure, you know, they need to know, you know, they were wrong all along. That's how it goes. All right. Before before we end this episode, I do want to bring up this other viral video that everybody's talking about. The Internet is tearing apart this college graduate who went on tiktok and vented about her struggles with the newest phase of her life she just got a nine to five job
Starting point is 00:26:31 oh i saw this yeah so let's listen to a little bit of it here her name's brielle brielle yeah yeah i didn't even know that yeah she uh and adam's got a problem with her already you don't like the name brielle maybe it's maybe it's gabrielle maybe it's true for gabrielle she I didn't even know that. Adam's got a problem with her already. You don't like the name Brielle? Maybe it's Gabrielle. Maybe it's her for Gabrielle. She went second half. I could go by Topher.
Starting point is 00:26:52 Oh, yeah. Topher Grace. Yeah. I bet that's what it is. But here's Brielle. She's already crying. She has tears in her eyes. I know I'm probably just being so dramatic and annoying. Annoying my first job like my first nine to five job after college and i'm
Starting point is 00:27:10 in person and i'm commuting in the city and it takes me fucking forever to get there there's no way i'm gonna be able to afford living in the city right now so that's off the table like fucking duh if i was able to walk to work and it would be fine but i'm not so it literally takes me like i leave here like i get on the train at 7 30 and i don't get home till like 6 15 earliest and then like i don't have time to do anything i don't i want to shower eat my dinner and go to sleep i don't have time or energy to cook by dinner either like i don't have energy to work out like that's out the window like i'm so upset she's she breaks down a little bit farther into the video too but so the the internet is saying oh i'm sorry you have a nine to five job that's what everybody has been doing right for years but then forever but then there
Starting point is 00:27:57 are there are people asking is the 40 hour work week outdated because that the 40 hour work week was designed to not um to do when you also have like a homemaker we should have a 60 hour work week outdated because that the 40 hour work week was designed to not to do when you also have like a homemaker we should have a 60 hour work week we should have a 60 hour work week oh i'm asking the wrong guy i forgot drew's well look first things first nobody sheds a tear for the blue collar man you know we don't argue did you see that guy that walked two hours in the snow and all winter long to go to work in two hours home walked and had a had a it was it was some sort of oh this is a machinery job yeah i was like oh my god they somebody gave him a car after 11 years 11 years all right may i continue my thought true Are there any other things that pop in your head that don't involve what I'm talking about? Yeah, let's see what there will be.
Starting point is 00:28:45 Okay. Now, look, when you work construction or you work at a warehouse or you drive a UPS truck, you don't get to fucking work from home. You don't get half days. You don't do a limited days on Thursdays or whatever it is. You show up and you fucking work or the apartment building that you're framing doesn't get framed. So no one ever really talks about that. You know, there is a large segment of our society that literally has to be at the job
Starting point is 00:29:17 site or in the factory or driving the forklift or driving the 18 wheeler. They just work. They have to work. That's that's it. But we don't really care about their They just work. They have to work. That's it. But we don't really care about their feelings because they didn't go to college. No, no, it goes all the way to dentists and surgeons and things too.
Starting point is 00:29:33 It's not exclusively blue collar. There's a lot of jobs you've got to go to work. No, I do, but I can't tell you I know the schedule of an airline pilot, let's say, or even a surgeon. As much as they may work, I can't tell you they work 40 hours a week. You know, they may schedule surgeries and then not come in the next day until noon or something or whatever. But the point is, is there are jobs where you physically have to be at the job.
Starting point is 00:30:05 If you're stocking at Trader Joe's, you can't do it from home. Now, if you have a job where you don't physically need to be on the premises, then I have some wiggle room. It's not a good idea overall for the company or for you, especially you, just to stay home all day because that's just a one-way ticket to weight gain and depression and day drinking and everything bad sort of comes off of that. But I've got some room for not coming in on Fridays and working from home or coming in.
Starting point is 00:30:40 The best thing you can do is stagger your hours. Get off of the traffic hours. You know what I mean? Come in. Like, I've always been more than happy to work on a Sunday. And Chris knows this, and everyone here knows this. We have. We've worked many Sundays.
Starting point is 00:30:57 There's always the, can we do this on a Sunday? I'm always like, yeah, I'll do it on Sunday because there's never traffic on a Sunday. It's a better day. It feels like a half day. Yeah do it on Sunday because there's never traffic on a Sunday. It's a better day. It feels like a half day. Yeah, it's better because of the commute. So I think it's a balance. I also think you don't get to do this fresh out of college or fresh out of high school. You have to earn a position where you make a schedule.
Starting point is 00:31:22 Like, I think to myself quite a bit, and I just had this thought yesterday, not apropos of this, just I think to myself, like, I don't work eight-hour days anymore. I work in different hours and weekends. You know, I'm gone on the weekend doing a comedy show or whatever,
Starting point is 00:31:39 but I don't think I could cut a full-time, eight-hour show up at, you know, but for a million years, I showed up to the construction site at 7 a.m. and we didn't punch out until 3.30 or 4. That's, and it was six days a week, oftentimes. So I earned my right and earned my position not to do this. But you got to earn it. When you're 23 and you're fresh out of college, give me a decade of that, and then we can talk about you earning your right to stay home.
Starting point is 00:32:12 Well, and it's back to what we started this conversation about, which is it's good for you. This is back to diet and exercise. Agreed. We value having spent those years doing that stuff. I did it excessively for excessive numbers of years, but you know, it was a lot of good things happened because of it.
