Recorded live at Corolla One Studios with Adam Corolla and board-certified physician and addiction medicine specialist Dr. Drew Pinsky. You're listening to The Adam and Dr. Drew Show. Yeah, get it on. Got to get on the show. Dr. Drew's board-cert certified physician and a dr bricker specialist i'm on the love boat yeah you're on the love boat that's right we got a lot of deep

dive today oh man but before before we go before we go i gotta complain about my shoulders so i had a procedure right and uh i've been i destroyed my shoulders by lifting I had a procedure, right? And I've been, I destroyed my shoulders by lifting heavy weights, you know, my whole life. And I knew it was coming and I've avoided it forever. And I intentionally did not get MRIs and things because I knew it'd be bad and yes it was. And I just thought it would lead me to surgery, which I didn't want.

And I found something intermediate I could do that's a big deal right now, which is having stem cells harvested from your own body and then injected, mesenchymal stem cells, which are the ones that go specifically to bone and joint and cartilage and whatnot. And first of all, surgeons have an uncanny way of describing things, making things sound easy. Like, we just take a little fat, then we take a little bone marrow, and then we just put it and inject it in your shoulder. Five hours on the table.

Anesthesia most of that time. And God damn it, they did a huge liposuction on me to get that fat. And that's been the most painful part. My abdomen is killing me. And so I have to just take it easy and i've been just i do so poorly with anesthesia and with um tissue damage every time i just think to myself oh my god i just can't do surgeries because both the anesthesia and the tissue issues

just i you know as you always say i'm a fucking pussy and that's the way it goes it's funny i was talking to adam you guys i mean i was talking to adam on the phone and he go I go uh yeah I'm yeah this is tough for me and he goes oh oh you oh it's you oh crap oh no it's gonna be a disaster and I thought yeah he's absolutely right well I mean it really does make you have to ask with you and and others and i i must say i am far from sympathetic and or empathetic because i you have no experience with this for one no i no, here's what I kind of realize. You see a dolphin and it's swimming in the ocean. And as you were pointing out to me the other day, you were looking at dolphins. And I'm kind of like the dolphin. And I go, oh, this is wonderful. And then you climb into the ocean and you go, oh, it's so cold. It's so cold.

And I go, oh, come on. It's wonderful. You know what I mean? You go, but I'm experiencing cold. And then I go, come on. It's perfect. It's perfect. I've been in here for hours.

I live here. It's nothing. And you go, no, it's so cold. You're a fucking dolphin. So I go, well, there's something wrong with you. But here's the problem. We're both dolphins. And you're still experiencing so cold. You're a fucking dolphin. So I go, well, there's something wrong with you. But here's the problem. We're both dolphins and you're still experiencing the cold. And I'm that way, you know, people are, you know, I get, first off, women, kids, now humanity.

You know what I mean? You know, the thing about, you know, I have a headache and I think it's because I under hydrated or I over hydrated or I ate food that was peppers in it or something. And I'm always like, oh, come on. You know, like, oh, come on. And the problem with me being sympathetic is I'm right probably 90% of the time when people are talking about how something made them feel, you know. Also, by the way, it doesn't help me when you go, oh, when you just went, oh, it's you.

I thought, oh, fuck, yeah, it is me. God damn it. And that's it. We were done. We were done with the conversation. A lot of it is obviously a wiring. And then the other part of it is just kind of an emotional homeostasis or stance or something. Let me push back a little bit, though, because I'm someone that pain does not bother me.

I have no problem with pain. I'm not one of those people at all. And I'm somebody that likes, like, stressing my body with running and erection and stuff. And this just knocks the shit out of me. I literally, like, I can't. I want to get out of bed. I can't. It's like I will go to the floor trying to get out of me. I literally like, I can't, I want to get out of bed. I can't. It's like, it's just, I will go to the floor trying to get out of bed. And it's like that, and I hate it.

And really the problem is that because I hate it so much, I bring it up. And that's the part you don't like. I should just get through it on my life, early life, my discomfort level was so high all the time that I got used to a kind of a baseline of discomfort. I would say be like living with a disability. Yeah. Like the person that is confined to a wheelchair and it's kind of before the amenities, the lifts and the special vans and the ramps and stuff. And you just kind of get used to. Misery.

Well, not so much misery, but like you're in a wheelchair and it's in this country and it's the fifties and you're rolling across the crosswalk and you hit a curb. There's no ramp. You know what I mean? So you get used to some technique where you have to flop out and pull it over the top and then flop yourself back in. And after a while, it just becomes a kind of shorthand. And then that's your baseline. You know, this is, these are the obstacles. This is your life. You know, every, every time the weather would get cold, I was cold. When the weather got hot, I would be hot, you know, trying to sleep at night, you know, just kind of just, just sleep was a, was a, was a sort of low grade misery. Never really had the comforter, the bedding or the fan or the air conditioning or the heat or whatever it was. It was always just kind of this kind of a frontier life. But in modern times, you know, I lived on a porch and the porch just had two by four

ceiling joists, which is if your room has ceiling joists that are under a two by six, that's a bad, a bad sign. It's a bad sign. Cause it means it's about a four foot run. You know what I mean? Like you can't, you can't span six foot with a, with a two by four, you know? And I just look up and see the two by four in the bottom of the plywood, which meant no, no insulation. So my porch was whatever the temperature was outside, ostensibly. And I just had a blanket, the same one for winter, the same one for summer, there was no ceiling fan, there was no air conditioner, there was no anything, space heater. So whatever was outside is just whatever it was on the porch.

And then you'd have to just kind of adapt. During the summer months, you just lay spread out on top of the blanket. And the winter months, you'd ball yourself up and cocoon yourself with the blanket. And then you'd get up and there was nothing to eat. And then you'd walk to school, whatever the temp. It never had a good jacket. I was never adapted to the elements. I never really had gloves or a beanie or anything.

And then that was just kind of – I mowed through the first 25 years of my life that way. And so then I got used to a kind of baseline of discomfort. I guarantee you there's something to that in the sense that one of the things that was documented about feral children that lived outside, they don't feel cold very well. They just don't really feel it. Well, you better eliminate that stuff fast. Otherwise, you're never going to bed. Right.

The brain just sort of takes it out. Right. So now when people are saying like, oh, I'm so exhausted because I had to drive to Vegas from L.A. or something. I go, exhausted? What are you exhausted for? You know what I'm saying? So. Yeah.

But speaking to the feral child is saying, you know, oh, the ceiling fan was on the fritz last night or something. It's like ceiling fan. Come on. You got a roof above you. You know what I mean? A blanket. A blanket. Right. So I guess I grew up and I also grew up with no tending to, you know, like I realize now my son gets sick and it's like, oh, there's soup being made and there's medication being flown in and people checking on him every 10 seconds. It was just kind of gutted. You just sort of gut it out.

Which is not a bad thing, by the way. Which part? The gutting it out, pushing through. I mean, listen, that's what you put me on notice of when you said, oh God, it's you. Oh shit. And I went, yeah, I don't want to be that. But by the same token, I would say the way I'm – let me just defend the way I'm experiencing this. Like I was watching Monday Night Football last night. I was enjoying myself. And at about 8.30, I couldn't watch.

I was falling asleep there. I went to bed and slept until 8 in the morning. Not because I wanted to. I didn't want to. I really did not want to. I fell asleep watching Monday Night Football. It was a good game. It was a good game. I know. I had to leave in the third quarter Not because I wanted to. I didn't want to. I really did not want to. I fell asleep watching Monday Night Football. It was a good game. It was a good game.

I know. I had to leave in the third quarter. Oh, Drew. I couldn't hang. I couldn't hang. Firework started. I know. I know.

All right. So Love Boat. Who won, by the way? I don't even know who won. Love Boat, Jags. No, the other game. I was watching the other one. Oh, I don't know what you're talking about then.

Love Boat. All right. So I tried to – all right. What other game were you watching on Monday night? The Jackson – I was watching – I can't even remember what the fuck I was doing. Jacksonville Jaguars? That was the other one. That was the other game, right?

Oh, there's two Monday night games? Yeah, that's what I said too. There were two Monday night games last night. Miami and Jacksonville was one game. Yeah. I was watching – Jesus, what's wrong with with my brain i think you're making this up no look look two monday night games check the day or maybe i was watching no no because they were putting the jacksonville game in a small box up in the corner periodically hmm uh and all right

help me that's how bad i was last time miami tennessee and then new york packers i'm sorry miami and tennessee oh the packers played too oh i'm staying corrected sorry hang on they played It's Miami, Tennessee, and then New York and Packers. I'm sorry, Miami and Tennessee. Oh, the Packers played too? Oh, I stand corrected. Sorry. Hang on. They played New York Giants. Okay.

Yeah, you're right. It was Tennessee and Miami. That was the barn burner. All right. Go ahead. Anyway, so watching Love Boat, as I commonly do, and caught an episode with Jimmy Osmond, who is a young Osmond. I think he's, is he younger than Donnie at this point? Yes, he's the youngest Osmond.

Youngest Osmond. He must be, you're looking at a picture of now, what would you say? Could he drive a car? I haven't heard him talk. It's 70s fashion. He's wearing a tuxedo, so it kind of throws you off a little. But he definitely looks young. I put him at 15.

Let's say he's 15 or 16. Well, look, sorry, Drew, but the way you have to do this stuff is what I do, because I respect my audience. Okay. And I'm into show prep. Okay. I'll always go look up the year Jimmy Osmond was born, the year the episode came out. So at first I can establish how old the actor was.

What year was this filmed and how old, when was Jimmy Osmond born? Yes, and you should have done that, Drew. I should have done that. You're right. I didn't even think to, frankly. Because you're basically trying to speculate, is he 15, is he 18? Well, but even so, I think the point of this thing now the character yes how old was the character the character these were high school kids okay because normally they

do a thing where it's like oh he's trying to get his driver's license or his high school's taking a field trip on the love boat he and his buddy were on this trip. As what? Can't remember. Didn't do the prep for that. Well, he and his buddy, look, every episode has three premises, has three storylines. People come on. They come on as the newlywed couple

or they come on as the confirmed bachelor, the newly divorced. The newly divorced are always surprised to see their ex has taken the same cruise. Right, right. And they're staying in the same cabin. Next door, next door. Sometimes they get-

Sometimes same cabin, yeah. Sometimes same cabin. It was, it's funny, it says Donnie is 18 in this. There can be no more thoughts conveyed. Jimmy, Jimmy. We're looking for Jimmy. But maybe they mean Jimmy is 18. We're looking for Jimmy. But maybe they mean Jimmy is 18.

He's 18 in this? Well, Donny Osmond is a few years older than Jimmy, so we glean nothing from that comment. I mean, from that piece of information. But again, it's a new world order where you can't really convey ideas. Well, not you can, not on the first go-round. I want to have a bigger conversation about this, but now do they have it? All right. No.

Jimmy is 20. In this? I don't know how he got two years older than Donnie, but Donnie could have been a mistype. There's no way this kid's 20. All right. Well, listen, Drew, you got to do your prep. Yep, I do. It's my fault. It is your fault. It is my fault. But in any event, you know what it was? I didn't expect necessarily to talk about it on the show, but I should have. I just wanted to share with you how fucking bizarre the 70s were when what appears to be a 15-year-old male is suddenly not just making out with a – how old would you – we're looking at the woman too now.

How would you peg her? Well, look, there's two types of 40. There's that – you know, there's a – 40 is nothing now for women, and then 40 then was an older woman. Yeah. You know, I mean, that was a big deal. And by the way, to be fair to you, Drew, Jimmy Osmond could have been 20 filming this because I'm guessing this thing is from 1980. He was born in 1965, 1960.

But he still could be playing a 15-year-old. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. In any event. But you don't know why he was on the boat. I can't remember.. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. In any event – But you don't know why he was on the boat. I can't remember. I didn't. I just – I wasn't watching the episode, to tell you the truth. Just this scene caught my eye.

Oh, come on. But, Drew, you have to back – I know, I know. You have to deconstruct. I know. I should be ready. We can put it off until next week. I'll go do my study.

But in any event, the woman to me seemed to be in her 30s. And it was – Emmy, how would you – what would you put this woman at? Look at her. And the fact that they are not just making out, they're going to have sex. Late 30s? Yeah, that's where I'd put her.

Let the antics ensue. Watch this scene. And there was this weird conceit, which I also had trouble following, where they were putting Jimmy up to something and the other boyfriend, his buddy attacks her and she won't have anything to do with that. And then he comes in and apologizes for the attack of his buddy.

All right. Here we go. Why don't you take off your jacket and get comfortable? Sure. Saxophone music. Funny. It's funny? Have a seat.

I don't know what's funny. Saxophone music. Funny. It's funny? Have a seat. I don't know what's funny. Guys were either super horny or super uncomfortable having sex. Sorry about the mess. Yeah, yeah.

Why don't you sit on the bed? Introducing the hot... What the hell? There's a lot of that. Sit down next to me. Yeah. You know. Yeah, the two...

It's sort of vaudevillian. Either the guy was super amorous and super worked up and super horny, or he was like, ah, ah, ah. But not just worked up and super horny, like a Tex Avery wolf. Yes. With his eyeballs popping out. Yes. And a hooga sign as he comes into the room.

It's so ridiculous. Okay. All right, here it is. He's uncomfortable sitting on the bed. So, how long have you been teaching? Oh, not very long. But I love it. I love love it I don't know I'm gonna be I've got something here for you that will make it a lot easier

oh no of what time it is you wanted to get to bed early I'll take a bed check Brain check This isn't the scene Well there you go Drew you didn't do your prep You did not prep Alright so he's He's playing a high schooler In this and she's trying to seduce him

And she does They have sex Well how do you know you didn't watch the episode, Drew. Well, I watched that scene. This wasn't the scene that got me. I didn't even know about this scene. Here's the scene. Here's the scene. Is that Aaron?

I'll level with you. We had this crazy idea that you were supposed to be my birthday present. What? You mean I was supposed to be my birthday present. What? You mean I was supposed to be your... Oh, now that's funny. Yeah, I guess it is kind of funny.

Now I know why you ran out on me last night. Yeah. But it, uh... It wasn't because I didn't like you. It's because I do. I like you, too. Maybe I could still be your birthday present. When we get to know each other better. Much better.

I think I know a good way to start. Oh, they're making out that's a high schooler banging their teacher wait I know a good way to stop there we go yeah that's on top they're having sex with a high schooler

and this was like ha ha ha ha is that cute? What? Well. That was the 70s, everybody. That was the 70s. Now we got to find out, was that Aaron Gray

in that episode? Was that Aaron Gray? It looked like Aaron Gray to me. Wow. Nobody knows that name who's listening. I thought Aaron would have been younger than that.

Younger? I don't know. All right, let me tell you about our friend Jordan Harbinger. You're about to hear a preview of the Jordan Harbinger show with Bill Browder, who uncovered a massive fraud inside the Russian government and took on one of the most powerful men in the world, Vladimir Putin. Well, I was sitting there down 90%. They were going to steal my last 10 cents on the dollar.

So I took a decision which nobody had ever taken before, which was to take on one of the oligarchs. I did. I fought back big time. Sergei and I exposed the crime. The same people who Sergei testified against arrested him and then tortured him to try to get him to withdraw his testimony. He was really a man of steel.

On the morning of November 17th at 7.45 a.m., I got the call from Sergei's lawyer, and it was the most horrifying, life-changing, soul-destroying news that I could have ever gotten. For more on how Bill Browder continues to fight for change while being a thorn in the side of Vladimir Putin, check out episode three, which is one of the most popular episodes of the Jordan Harbinger show. All right. Erin played a superhero or something? Wasn't she? What was her?

I forget her. She was in Buck Rogers. Buck Rogers, yes. As I think. Now, there was a whole bunch of schlocky outer space shit in the 70s and 80s, and I washed my hands with all of it immediately like i felt that way about star trek i felt that way about any intergalactic whatever i i just had an aversion to it i was just like not watching this not interested

immediately interesting and and i never really was sch was. Because it was so schlocky? Because it was so weirdly cardboardy? It felt schlocky. You know, like Star Trek always felt schlocky to me. It didn't live in any familiar place for me. You know, it just didn't, you know, it's like I, you know, I could find myself watching All in the Family or Sanford and Son or something. And it lived somewhere that seemed, oh, he's in South Central and they're in Brooklyn or something or Queens or something.

And I don't know, the outer space stuff along, even up, even through Star Wars and all that kind of stuff. It just, it never felt, it also also it seemed like there wasn't any rules because we didn't know what the technology is. You know, like somebody would be firing space lasers and they'd go put on virtual shields and a ring would go around the thing. And then I was like, oh, you have a shield that'll go around your spacecraft so no missiles can hit it? But then it would fail.

You could just throw in whatever you needed for the story to keep going forward. Yeah, yeah. Whatever it was. Yeah, whereas if you're watching Bonanza and the bad guy was firing a six-shooter, you couldn't go, Hossoss get your lariat out and spin it around you you know this you'd go well that's not gonna stop a bullet you know like like there

were gravity literally like it kind of there were physics yeah it just didn't seem to be rules so they could just sort of make up stuff as they went yeah and i don't know i didn't i didn't buy that yeah like i i was not a fan of it i have to admit but i eventually got attached to the characters right say in star trek that at least i could get into well is aaron gray in that episode or not no not finding her then who was that who was the lady friend who looked exactly like Aaron Gray? Did we have Aaron Gray on Loveline over the years? We had Aaron, the other Aaron. Moran?

From Happy Days? Wait a minute. Is she Joel Gray's daughter? No, no. That's Joel. Aaron. No, no, no, no, no, no. All right.

I'm confusing everybody. You're getting everyone confused. Because the gray is what's getting me. Yeah. But yeah. All right. I'm confusing everybody. Now you're getting everyone confused. Because the gray is what's getting me. Yeah. But yeah. All right. I'll figure out that one, Joel Gray. No.

We had her. We definitely had her. Yes. That's Dirty Dancing. Yes, Dirty Dancing. Yes, that's a different gray. We did not have this one. No, I don't think.

Well, this one isn't Aaron Gray, according to Abby. Well, I mean, if it had been Aaron Gray. Karen Copkins. Karen Copkins. Coppins. Coppins, who looks exactly like Aaron Gray. Karen Coppins. Karen Coppins. Coppins. Coppins, who looks exactly like Aaron Gray. She does. I agree.

All right. That's her. So now. All right. You have something to share. Well, I have one. I was watching a great one. I was watching The Love Boat where, okay, so I love anything to do with Dr. Bricker, Adam Bricker.

And I knew then what drives me crazy. And Adam Bricker's doctor, the brilliant surgeon. Remember that was a storyline, the brilliant surgeon? Yes. He's a brilliant surgeon. There were surgeons and then there were brilliant surgeons. Yeah, and you don't really hear about the- No, because they're all kind of trained the same.

The brilliant surgeon anymore. But he was a brilliant surgeon and he came on and he was, I don't know what Emmy's doing over there, but he came on and I'm distracted by what's going on in the next, across the glass. That's all right. We'll figure it out. Somebody's delivering something or doing something. And somehow Amy's- You played about me being distracted.

No, it's not. How dare you? It's not. It is sort of dramatic what's going on in there. They're just like pointing and talking, talking, pointing. It would distract me too. they're just like pointing and talking talking pointing but and we tell the guy to hold on for five minutes or find somebody else to figure it out sure what's going on this is av ed's uh guy he's here to fix the cameras the alarm everything but there's no one here but me to tell him so oh but isn't chris in the next room he's sitting right here oh he

doesn't have any idea why he's here. I know, but just tell him. Ah, whatever. Right now, we're just focusing on the cameras. Oh, okay. Well, go ahead and work on the alarm. There you go. That'll buy us eight minutes, and then we'll... Go on with the show.

Or not. Or not. Okay. So we're going to see the Billion Surgeon come on the ship. Yes? I know. The show ends in five minutes. Just tell that person to leave and go have a cup of coffee.

Here comes Dr. Bricker. Dr. Akers. Bricker? Brilliant surgeon. It can't be. Adam Bricker, the boy wonder? What on earth are you doing here? Well, I finally found a way to combine business with pleasure.

I'm the ship's doctor. Of course, good to see you again. Good to see you again. I see you've already met Julie McCoy. I can still taste that chili you used to make. Well, that's the longest case of heartburn I've ever heard of. Not a heartburn humor back then, right? Of course.

Well, you can see where I ended up. What about you? Are you still chief surgeon at City Hospital? Uh-oh. No, no. I'm no longer practicing. Actually, I had nothing to say about it. It seems our car got into a slight misunderstanding

on the freeway with a station wagon. So, plastic. Naturally, I had to retire. Well, what good's a doctor who can't play golf? Doctors and golf humor. We'll be seeing each other. I'd to retire. Well, what good's a doctor who can't play golf? Doctors and golf humans. We'll be seeing each other. I'd love to. So, all right.

So there's a couple things. He lost an arm. He lost his arm. He's very bitter about it, right? But he keeps making fun of Adam Bricker, the doctor, because he was a star pupil. Yes. And now he's up on the Lido deck putting Pab on people with sunburns. And that happens throughout the episode.

That keeps hitting it. And it gets more and more overt and demeaning. Okay. You know what I mean? And so Adam Bricker's like, well, maybe I'll give you guys a tour of Puerto Vallarta. Yeah. And then he's like, I expected you to be a surgeon, not a tour guide. You know, like in his face.

Yes. Super overt, like, and, you know, uncomfortable and embarrassing, you know, and he just keeps beating on the fact that Bricker. And yet doctors do a lot of that shit to each other. Well, Bricker did deserve it. I mean, he's taken, Bricker has had chosen this hedonistic lifestyle versus doing some real good when he had some potential. When I was running departments in the psychiatric hospital, I had a hepatologist walk up to me and go, when are you going to be a doctor again? And I was like, wow, that's interesting. That's how

she sees psychiatry and medicine in a psychiatric context. Yes. Well done. She goes, you're such a good doctor. She said the same thing. You're such a good doctor. When are you going to come back? Well, he kept – but he went further, which is you're such a good doctor, and now you've turned into a cruise director essentially.

So he kept pounding on him. Which is legitimate. I was fine with it, but it was so overt and so loud in front of people that it just got really uncomfortable. But then Adam Bricker was at the doctor's table, and he was getting verbally dressed down. I'm sorry, the captain's table. The captain's table. He was once being verbally dressed down. I'm sorry, the captain's table. Captain's table.

He wants to be verbally dressed down again by this guy every time. And he notices his wife opening a little pillbox and taking some mother's little helpers or something. You know what I mean? And then there's another scene where the wife and the doctor, who's perpetually bitter over the arm being lost, you know, I'm useless. There used to be a lot of that melancholy in these kind of things.

Like, who wants a one-armed surgeon? You know, and he'd walk into the next room, you know. They show her reaching down and taking more pills, right? And then at some point, she comes down to Bricker's office, and she's like, I need a refill on this prescription and I need it now, you know, shaking. And he says, well, yeah, I think we got that down below. I don't know how the pharmacy works on the ship, but he's got it down below. The thing that's always funny about Bricker too is nine out of 10 episodes, he has no nurse,

but when they need a nurse, then there's a nurse. Yes. You know what I mean? So she'll come walking in and just the nurse is there. Mr. Bricker's not here. Dr. Bricker's not here right now. They're like, I've never seen this person. Yeah.

Who is this person? And when he performs surgery, there's the nurse and the anesthesiologist. So she comes down and she's like, I need this filled. And he's like, oh, uh, uh, boy, there's 50 of them in here. And it was filled just last week. And she's like, Oh, I spilt some in that fell over into the sink. You've probably heard it before. And I just had to flush them down. So I need a spill in the toilet is the most common, right? I need a, I need a refill. And he's like, Oh, okay. Well, you know, that stuff's down below, I guess.

I don't, you know, in crates and, you know, down below in steerage or ballast or something. But he goes, you know, I'll get to it. I'll have it by the end of the night, you know, end of the day. And she's like, okay, but I could use it, you know, as fast as I can. So she goes from on this shit for ostensibly years because this accident was years ago and the doctor,

the one-armed doctor prescribed it to her, her husband. Ooh, which a lot of that went on those days too. Because she was having trouble sleeping,

you know, after the car accident or whatever. Do they tell that story? They tell that? Yeah, yeah, yeah. But all of a sudden in the last day and a half

she's turned a full-blown junkie, right? She's Jones and bad. Yeah. So then at some sudden in the last day and a half, she's turning a full-blown junkie, right? She's Jones and bad. So then at some point in the middle of the day, she comes back to Dr. Bricker's office. And now she's cold sweats and DTs and shaking and storms in. Oh, a nurse. Oh, yeah. Yeah, there's the nurse.

She storms in and she's like, I'll- I'll be fine for Adam. Leave the medicine to the Adam Bricker says to the doctor, I think there might be a problem with your with your wife. And he's like, stay out of my business. He said leave it to the real doctor. Right. I have an appointment with the doctor. Oh, the doctor isn't in right now.

And he didn't mention any appointments this afternoon. I'm early. I'll just wait in the examination room. Well, certainly. I guess that'll be fine. Boom. She goes into the cabinet, but the cabinet is just full of isopropyl and prongs and cotton

balls. She's like trying to break into the cabinet. I'll see the doctor. As if her medication's in that cabinet or whatever. She comes out. She's ODing hard now. Anyway, Bricker comes in and explains,

has to jump in and get his medical kit and give her a shot of something, and she's ODing, and he has to sort of explain. Pretty modern story for that moment. I saw this coming. You know, I, whatever. This is her now, she's collapsing down the hall. Remember the night before dinner, she was fine.

She was fine. Well, that's just on meds to be fair. If you're on a bunch, you can get 12, 24 hours, you can get in big trouble. I don't feel very well. What's the matter? In fact, they could have a seizure right there. Boom. Oh, well, that's open. Bricker's going to... Bricker's going to...

Watch this. This is Bricker asserting himself now. He's in charge. You love the Bricker story. Alright, you got it. Look, we knew at the beginning that after eating shit for the first three acts that Bricker was going to snap

into action with his medical expertise. But now, tomorrow's show I've got to tell you about Hans Conrad. We have no time. You have a story with Hans Conrad. I have a story with Hans Conrad. Literally. And his family.
