Starting point is 00:01:53 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 a board first-size specialist, an addiction medicine specialist. That's what I'm talking about. All right.
Starting point is 00:02:16 So I got thoughts. All right. Here's my thoughts. So we're talking a little about last show now here's an interesting one i'm not uh a cosmic person huh no but i do realize that there are things that are kind of anomalies yeah are you talking about the great magnets? The great magnets. Yes, okay. So I was sitting on Sunday watching football with the boys. Yeah. And it was a pretty good crowd, you know, eight or ten dudes.
Starting point is 00:02:57 And then at some point, Tony Barbieri, one of my old friends, a writer for Kimmel, he brings up Saturday Night Fever. And he brings up this actress named Donna Pesco, who everyone would recognize if you saw a picture of her. And, you know, her getting in the backseat with Tony Manero, whoever Travolta was, and like getting pregnant or something like that. And she always liked him, but he didn't like her. She wanted to have sex with him as a member. She wanted to have sex with him and whatever.
Starting point is 00:03:31 And then because we're dudes, we did a big – now, we're all sitting there drinking beer, watching football, but we did a big round table on Donna Pesco. Out of the blue? Well, I told you. Tony brought it up. But I mean, that's because you'd seen the episode or something? No. She just came into the conversation. Wow.
Starting point is 00:03:54 Please let me finish my story. Okay, that's the great magnet. Okay. You never know what direction these stories are going in. You always jump in early. You always jump in early and spoil the story. You always jump in early and spoil the story. You always jump in early and spoil the story. So anyway, it's true.
Starting point is 00:04:10 100% true. You jumped right to the end of the story. By the way, I have innumerable ways of ruining a story. Yes. It's not one way. No, many techniques. So, because we're dudes, and I think this is the difference, and we're comedy dudes.
Starting point is 00:04:26 Yeah. Everyone jumps in on this Donna Pesco thing while we're watching football and Saturday Night Fever. Women would never do this. They'd be distracted and annoyed, and they'd go, who? And then they'd go, why do you care? And then they would move on. You know what I mean? And what they don't really realize is that the comedic mind
Starting point is 00:04:48 and the male mind, especially the comedic male mind, wants to drill down. Everyone wants to have their own input. Everyone wants to make their own Donna Pesco joke. And people had a story. Kevin Hench had a story about his mom taking, you know, all of them and six or eight, eight or 10-year-olds to see the movie thinking it was a dance movie
Starting point is 00:05:14 and then all of a sudden there's this kind of backseat rape scene that takes place with Donna Pesco and how it was traumatizing to them as young boys. And everyone's kind of weighing in on what happened to her. It explains a lot. We do a lot of Donna Pesco talk, which we've never done at a football Sunday because there'd just be no reason for it. Just out of curiosity, was there a theme that got it going?
Starting point is 00:05:40 Tony Barbieri, one of the writers, just brought up. No, you're missing my point. He brought it up. That kept it alive. In other words, I'm thinking about the dude brain. The theme is somebody brought up a subject and we all feel compelled to weigh in. Okay. That's the dude brain.
Starting point is 00:05:58 Did anybody weigh in on, let me ask the question more specifically, on what would you do if you were the John Travolta character and she came at you that way? Yeah, I mean, I don't know. That's all right question, Drew, but I just told you. That doesn't matter. We all weighed in on Donna Pesco. Okay, fine.
Starting point is 00:06:21 Yes? Yeah. We can sign off on that. Yes. And we did a round table. I don't remember all the official particulars, but everyone weighed in on Donna Pesco from Saturday Night Live for no good reason other than somebody brought her name up
Starting point is 00:06:37 and everyone felt the need to weigh in. And then football ended, and then I went home, and then I had dinner, and then I football ended and then i went home and then i had dinner and then i turned on the tv at 11 o'clock that night and i saw that i had my love boat queue waiting for me and i tuned into the first episode and it was starring donna pesco who now again she was a working actress it was just weird it was an episode I'd never seen before I don't remember seeing before and a lot of actors actually had repeated
Starting point is 00:07:13 appearances on Love Boat I don't think she did I'm not aware if I've ever seen her into her and she did do two I think because she was featured in another episode she was a feature story, because she was featured in another episode. She was a feature story, one of the feature stories in this episode, which is the same one as Adam Bricker and the doctor and the ODing and there she is. And you know when people do the math on these things,
Starting point is 00:07:39 they actually try to figure out what would the probability be of that not happening, of this great magnet coincidences. Oh, I see. And it turns out oftentimes it's less likely to not happen, and that's why things happen weird like this. then it was a long talk about a little known actress and I got home and then she was featured in my episode of Love Boat that I was watching. But the real reason I tuned into Donna this episode is to show you, you can show Hans Conrad at the beginning when he's boarding the ship. He plays a German cruise line owner who's going to cherry pick Captain Stubing to be the captain of the most prestigious, newest boat ever. And this is the same episode we talked about last time with the doctor with the wooden arm, plastic arm.
Starting point is 00:08:49 Yes, yes, yes. The surgeon. The drug addict wife. Yes, yes. Who was perfectly fine at the beginning. Which I find particularly poetic. Yes. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:59 Well, that's where Bricker game has come up in. I don't know. So where's Hans Conrad, everybody? Or we'll just play it here. Let's see. Now, the reason I brought this up is for a reason. Oh, well, I'll have to have time to think about that. I just thought about it.
Starting point is 00:09:20 I'll see you at 11. Excuse me. Could you tell me when Winters has come on board yet not yet hold on I'm not sure
Starting point is 00:09:28 why you queued it up to this point but there's a guy named Hans Conrad who gets on the boat maybe they don't we see his face we're like boom
Starting point is 00:09:37 we know who that is well they did the math on how old he was so they would know the current pictures online are pretty old. Here he is. This is him walking off. Yeah, but you know his date of birth.
Starting point is 00:09:50 Here we go. All right. Here comes Hans Conrad. He did the voice of Captain Hook. Mr. and Mrs. And everyone else. Mr. and Mrs. Marmalade. No, it's just plain marmalade.
Starting point is 00:10:04 I was going over the list at breakfast. Here's a copy of the weather report. You know what? Scoot a little further in the episode and find Hans with his hat off. And this is where I'm going to make my point to you, Dr. Gerard. And, you know, when I went and looked him up, they made a big deal about the Jay Ward cartoons. And he's doing all the voices for them. about the Jay Ward cartoons and he's doing all the voices for them.
Starting point is 00:10:25 And what was weird was there were some very famous voices that did Rocky and Bullwinkle and stuff and Natasha and even Boris, but Hans Connery did everything else essentially. Yeah, so I ended up buying his old house up in the Hollywood Hills. Let's say that again.
Starting point is 00:10:46 That doesn't slip by. He died in that house too, or do you? Yes. Yeah. So his family owned that house when you bought it, right? Yes. He had already passed away. Yes.
Starting point is 00:10:57 But he lived there most of his life? I don't know if it was most of his life, but he definitely lived in that house, and he painted everything in it white, even though it was an old Spanish house and had frescoes and stuff on the ceilings. I know. He painted everything white. He painted over the frescoes. They painted over the hand-carved beams. Yes, the faces and the beams. The whole—it was a magnificent home full of incredible detail, and he painted everything white, flat white.
Starting point is 00:11:28 And did they cottage cheese anything, which was the other move? They sold all the lighting fixtures and so forth. Remember, in the 70s, everything old was bad. He collected Japanese or Asian sculpture and art. Wow. So this Spanish hacienda showpiece was not working well with his pagoda theme, you know? So he had to paint everything white so then he could show off his Japanese art
Starting point is 00:11:58 without distraction of the Spanish theme. I like that better than just the sort of cultural changes of the 70s that gave us such shitty judgment. I do remember, it was a funny thing, his kids were just lazy ne'er-do-wells, you know what I mean? They were just flopping in this house, renting out the upstairs to some friends.
Starting point is 00:12:16 Like, they ended up turning to just be the lazy nothing burgers, you know? And I remember when they left, there was this giant Japanese or Chinese sculpture that they left behind in the back courtyard. And I've had many interesting conversations with adults. And it was just an abstract kind of big Chinese sculpture. It didn't have any value to me didn't seem to be that aesthetically pleasing it was just large and abstract you know and um
Starting point is 00:12:54 I you know I talked to the the kids you know after I moved in and I said hey you need to come over and get this thing you know if it's yours or your dad's or you want to keep it, you need to like sort of come get it. It's heavy. It's in the back courtyard. You know, I don't know. I mean, you have to come here with a flatbed and some dollies and 300 pounds or 500 pounds.
Starting point is 00:13:18 You know, I can't move it. Or I don't want it, but you want it. And they're like, oh, that was my dad's pride and joy, and we really want it. And I said, okay, good, then just come get it. And they was like, okay. And I was doing all kinds of construction, and I don't know, two weeks went by,
Starting point is 00:13:35 they never came and got it. And I said, you do want this thing. Oh, it's my dad's pride and joy and the family's pride. I value with authenticity and blah, blah. I said, well then come get it. And they didn't come get it. It was another few weeks. And after, you know, a couple months I said, look, I'm just going to go out there with a sledgehammer and I'm going to bust it up into small pieces so I can tote it out of here.
Starting point is 00:14:04 Cause I don't have a crane it was like up on the deck it was up in the back whatever and they were like upset by like hey you can't do that it has great value then come get it if it has such great value and that's when I realized
Starting point is 00:14:19 fucking loser adults they just say one thing and then they do something else and then they say something else and then they say something else and then when you call them out a little bit like okay then pay for it or come get it or you take it then then all of a sudden they get flustered and they get upset so really there's way too many of those people floating around out there way too many so what happened did you get i remember anything no i just told them I am going to break this thing up and get it out of here. If you do not come get it by like this date, you know, or whatever.
Starting point is 00:14:55 And I think at some point they came and got it. But it was a long, protracted, stupid waste of time discussion. And they were kind of putting the onus on me, except for they moved out. You could do what you want with it, I guess. And I was like, you didn't take your sculpture with you. Just go ahead and come get it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:15 All right. Now, here's what I want to tell you about Hans Connery, Drew. And this is going to be flattering to you. And Amy will probably enjoy this, and byron as well i can't wait and play it then just stop it when they pull around to hans's face okay on on this thing this morning you said something that i must say has left me a bit disturbed. Okay. Okay. Hans Conrad was born in 1917. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:57 This was filmed in February of 79. Yeah. So Hans Conrad was 61. Hans Conrad was 61 because his birthday is not till April. Wow. This thing came out in February 79, and I think the math is right. He was 61. Perfect 70s math.
Starting point is 00:16:22 Age math. Drew, how old are you? 65. 65. 70s math. Now. Age math. Drew, how old are you? 65.
Starting point is 00:16:29 You are four years older than Hans Conrad. There's applause breaking out in the control room. He's literally playing an old man. Could he play otherwise? No. It's like he looks old. You can play it on for a few seconds, but look at this man. Yeah. That you may not have your job much longer?
Starting point is 00:16:46 Yes. Forgive my bluntness, but what exactly are we talking about? Nothing sinister, I assure you. This guy is two years older than me when he's filming this. Yeah. It begs the issue, how old is Gavin McCloud? Looked it up. And?
Starting point is 00:17:02 At this point. He was like, he was, oh shit, let me think. He was not 50. At this moment? At this moment, he was like 47. Wow. He looks already. He's a decade younger, more than a decade younger than me, the captain.
Starting point is 00:17:22 And Hans Conrad is younger than Drew and just a little bit older than me. What is that? That's how old people used to look. And this is with makeup on. Yeah. You know, this is people sweeping the streets. Wow. Wow.
Starting point is 00:17:37 Passes away three years later. Yeah, he died at what? It was 65. 64 in 1982. Ugh. January 5th. Now, I'm guessing smoking. That's a young person.
Starting point is 00:17:55 Even at that time, dying in your 60s, he was a little bit young. Dying in your 70s was routine then. A long history of heart problems and suffered a stroke in 1974, mid-heart attack in 1979. That all says smoking to me. Remained active until his death on January 5th. Okay. He, I mean, he just does not look, you're four years older than he is.
Starting point is 00:18:14 How long after his death did you buy the house? He looks like he's in his late 70s. Did you buy the house? Oh, see, yeah, I was doing that math. He said he died in 84 or something like that. It was like 20 years after. 20 years. Oh, my goodness. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:27 They've been flopped there for a while. They were flopped out. And I started reading, and this makes me like I have no idea on the internet. No, this guy was the premier voiceover guy in the world. Yes. And did a lot of movies, but wasn't a movie star. Just played a lot of crazy roles. A lot of movies.
Starting point is 00:18:50 Like, he was sort of the cat. And he was born in, like, Massachusetts or something. He's just doing this German accent. Well, he seems European. He's always seemed European. He always seemed European. And his name was Hans. And he must have been grown up with the German family and some German part of it.
Starting point is 00:19:08 Maybe Hans isn't really his name. It's like they made shit up. The point is I was looking down and it was like his net worth, they said, was $99 million. And I was like, but that's impossible. But then I realized, oh, the internet's just all over the fucking road now, right? I saw Elizabeth Warren at 67 million a couple of days ago. Yeah. You never know, though. I could believe that. I could believe it, but I don't know. I'd like to be able to know because I have some questions
Starting point is 00:19:39 if she's at $67 million. But listen to his voice for a second. Just see if people can place it, because his voice is everywhere, even with see if people can place it because it's just, his voice is everywhere, even with this German accent. Let's just hear. Tell me, Captain Stewing, have you ever heard of a ship called the Lorelei?
Starting point is 00:19:57 That's like asking a quarterback if he's ever heard of the Super Bowl. It's only the finest luxury liner afloat. Have you ever seen her? Yes. It doesn't, you can't really identifyat. Have you ever seen her? Yes. It doesn't, you can't really identify his voice with this. They broke the mold when they built that ship. No.
Starting point is 00:20:11 Yeah. That's a, that guy's two years older than me. Then what would you say, Captain Stubing? If someone told you that you are being cut? That's what I got out of that. Look at the bags under his eyes. That episode. Yow. Yow. And by the way, got to have hair over the ear. that's what I got out of that look at the bags under his eyes that episode and by the way gotta have hair over the ear
Starting point is 00:20:29 he's really just about there I have a question for Dr. Drew seeing him now that's 64 he's 61 but I mean when he passes he's 64 in your opinion what is it that's changed because obviously we're all
Starting point is 00:20:45 looking younger when earlier when i said that lady look in her late 30s she doesn't look like us and i'm in my late or mid 30s it's hard to figure out actually i know it's probably diet exercise but is there something else it's diet and exercise however the diet we're living is not great for the most part right so you can't really say diet unless it's somebody who's made an issue of diet and paid attention their whole life, which is not a lot of people. Tobacco, smoking, man, that's a lot of it. Everybody smoked. Everybody smoked. And I took care of it.
Starting point is 00:21:15 So I was a physician in the 80s, right? So I got these people early in my career. And devastation from tobacco, both emphysema and strokes and vascular. It just was all over the place. Alcohol, a little more on the martini lunches without any concerns about anything. And I'm guessing we exercise a lot more. And it begs the issue whether just paying attention, you know, just watching your health, going to the doctor when you're getting proper... I got multiple medical problems, but they've all been taken care of. And I'm not sure people had that kind of ready access to medical care their whole
Starting point is 00:21:56 life. And so there might've been a little more road hardened in the sense that... Yeah, but you're also looking at an anomaly here, which is the anomaly is he was a character actor with a kind of old, defined face, and he was playing guys in their 50s when he was in his 30s. Well, that's what I was going to say. And what comes
Starting point is 00:22:20 up on all his profiles... And I'll give you another big thing. Hair technology. I was going to say that. Jeremy Piven looks like he's 39, but if you saw him walking around with a big bald crown, if you saw Jeremy Piven
Starting point is 00:22:38 walking around looking like Captain Steubing's head, you would think he looked his age. But he fixed his hair, and now he doesn't. And that's just how it works. You know what I mean? Well, but to be on the same token, you could just do
Starting point is 00:22:54 And guys would dye their hair. If Captain Steubing had a full head of brown or dark hair, you would not look at him as looking nearly as old as he does. And to be fair, if you didn't go to hair restoration, you would go for full bald. Yeah, now. This to now.
Starting point is 00:23:09 Yeah. And you were not allowed to consider that then. Right. That was bizarre. All right. By the way, what comes up immediately in all his stuff is the 10,000 Fingers of Dr. Terwilliger. Yeah. Which is ironic.
Starting point is 00:23:21 It was just a piece of shit film about a piano teacher. All right. And by the way, he played an old man then too, which is ironic. It was just a piece of shit film about a piano teacher. All right. And by the way, he played an old man then too which is interesting and that was probably 1960 something or early 70s. Miracle made, everybody.

Starting point is 00:24:29 you see that 10 000 figures of dr twilliker now i i know it i've seen stuff about it but i mean somehow that was defining for a lot of people's childhoods it's very odd it was a very weird film that i don't think had wide distribution did did it? It sort of hit TV pretty quick? It's a little before my time, but it was part of an avant-garde, weird – there was a lot of weird 60s avant-garde-y stuff back then. None of it – I think none of it holding up very well. Oh, it's terrible. Here's something interesting, Drew, that I'm interested in.
Starting point is 00:25:09 When I travel through airports for the last several years, I keep seeing these breastfeeding hutches, these freestanding. Closets, essentially. Yeah, but big closets. Yeah, big closets. No, they look like campers yeah yeah right very nice 20 grand a pop never seen anyone in one or using one but anyway um i i've had thoughts on them but but the point is is i was walking through ironically i was going
Starting point is 00:25:41 through mccarran i saw one the other day anyway Anyway, I've done some. It's not called McCarran anymore. Oh, yeah. It isn't. It's called something. Eric Holder. Eric Reed. Harry Reed. Harry Reed.
Starting point is 00:25:51 Sorry. So I've done some bits, some comedy bits on these things. But I realize that when I say to the audience, have you seen these breastfeeding sort of camper shell things that are parked in every major airport? The audience kind of goes, hmm. Oh, that's interesting. And these are adults, early 50s, late 40s.
Starting point is 00:26:20 I'm in Vegas or wherever I am. They went through the airport to get there. They're not from Vegas. They I am. They went through the airport to get there. You know, they're not from Vegas. They have means. They travel. They, you know, I'm upwardly mobile, but there are people that have enough money to go to Vegas and hang out, come buy tickets, see a comedy show.
Starting point is 00:26:36 They were in the very airport that you were in with high probability. Most likely, you know, arriving from somewhere. And the audience is always kind of like, hmm. And I do find a lot of that in life where you go like, you know, at the airport, first off- That's a lot of that for you because you're hypervigilant. Right. But they're hard to miss.
Starting point is 00:26:57 Yeah. No, no, I know, but they're white. Doesn't mean people are going to make note of it. No, they're white and they're egg-shaped and they're just sitting right, they're always sitting right in the middle of a thoroughfare and you have to kind of stop and go, what is this? You know what I mean? What, you know,
Starting point is 00:27:12 in a world where there's vending machines and there's retailers and there's duty-free shops, this thing looks like a giant egg that's just sitting in the middle of the airport. And so, of course, I would notice them and then I would stop and notice them, and then I would sort of look and see if anyone's ever using them or whatever.
Starting point is 00:27:32 The people, when I bring this up, don't really know what I'm talking about, which doesn't mean they don't go to the airport, and it doesn't mean they don't pass by these things. It means they have no interest in them and it doesn't register in any way of like this is a strange anomaly like what is so it shows you how most of us go through life right there was this thing that never existed yeah in a shape and in a space that seems weird and now they're everywhere and by the way when
Starting point is 00:28:03 i saw it did you have thoughts about breastfeeding generally when you saw it? Yeah. I thought we were supporting breastfeeding everywhere. I thought that's supposed to be the thing now. Why do we need this? It was my first thought. Like this egg in the middle of the thoroughfare? When did we decide that's a thing?
Starting point is 00:28:19 It looks like a bomb shelter. I mean, it looks so sturdy. You can roll it. I said, if you caulked the door closed and sealed it, you could probably make it over Niagara Falls. This thing would be fine. But there's also, I've never seen a woman exit it. No.
Starting point is 00:28:39 And I've never seen a woman enter it. And I've seen people breastfeeding at the airport. Well, then I started thinking about breastfeeding, and it's like zero to two or something like that. And I'm like- Rarely. Rarely two? Yeah. No, no. Oh, the age? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah. I thought you made you see zero to two. No, zero to two years of age. Yes. But then I realized I don't see people travel with newborns.
Starting point is 00:29:04 Not so much. Like almost never. It's kind of dangerous-y and it's challenging. It's just the kid's four months old. It's not time to go to Virginia. That's right. You know what I mean? It just isn't. The grandparents can fly in and see the kids or whatever.
Starting point is 00:29:20 100%. Then I started looking and the price of these things are 21K a unit. And I was like, it's kind of perfect. It's symbolic. It takes up a lot of room. It's expensive. And nobody uses it because it's sort of like click it or tick it. Like people don't travel with newborns.
Starting point is 00:29:40 If they do, they'll oftentimes just sit on a bench and pull a scarf up over their head or whatever. And these things, there's now 10,000 of these things spread out all over America. I've never seen anybody use one. And it's just a huge waste of money and space. But it makes a statement. although there's no customers for because nobody tried i'm not it's government when is the yes when is the last time you were on a flight with a newborn essentially yeah it just doesn't no it doesn't happen right so uh i just finished the musk biography amazing that dude oh my god i i have both um disdain and the world's highest level of admiration for that guy he's a he's an unusual dude i mean in ways that i didn't anticipate
Starting point is 00:30:36 but he definitely has a little asperger's or something he's got something because i've heard him like try to interview somebody. He talks about it, and his wives and girlfriends talk about it. They're a little more vivid on it. You can hear it when he's talking. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But as the women will say, it's like that's what you need to be this, what he does. Right.
Starting point is 00:30:58 And the dude would work 20 hours a day, never less than 20 hours a day, I think, his whole life. And he is a maniac walking the assembly lines and problem solving and going from business to business to business and solving and solving and stressing and firing and hiring. Just wild, wild, wild stuff. But so, so inspiring. Point being, opposite of government. Opposite. He took one look at NASA and went, oh my God, this is ridiculous. Yes. But what else is interesting is later,
Starting point is 00:31:30 sort of recently, Bill Gates shows up in his orbit and goes, you should be donating all this money. You should be doing philanthropy. And Musk does a deep dive into Gates' philanthropy and goes, why? This is like government. This is bullshit. I could do so much more for people and humanity building these businesses. And I create jobs. And I create value for the world. Why would I do this? This is languishing compared to what I
Starting point is 00:31:59 can do. And he just turned away and moved on and went back to the Boring Company and then this company and the Starlink and the Neuralink. And then just here he goes. Off he goes. It is so fucking inspiring to see what that guy can do. I agree. I can't. Walter Isaacson is not a great monographer, I'm sorry to say. But the story and his stuff, I mean, it's just one chapter after another of him going, well, here he goes again, and here he goes again, and here he goes again.
Starting point is 00:32:30 I know. And you think about the current administration, you go, that's the 100% opposite of who that is. It's the opposite of the engineers and the administrators he can hire created by the American educational system. That's a really interesting topic generally. But problems, we should be looking to that guy to solve problems, not government, not breastfeeding eggs. Just we should be. Drew, now we had a little mic kickback. Because Drew has to use his, like a conductor uses a baton.
Starting point is 00:33:10 I didn't do that. I just took a deep breath. And so it moved the mic. But there's also the option of leaving it on the comp. I know it's hard for me. I know it's difficult. I know. All right.
Starting point is 00:33:19 It's like interrupting stories. Because I just can't. I can't. All right. You're pulling the cord around around that's why it's doing that but your cord's coming out is what chris is saying right because it's no it's actually is it coming out all right let's okay all right you can't it's not avoidable it's not avoidable all right cb live january 5th and 6th phoenix Sorry for the late notice, but it wasn't ever on my...
Starting point is 00:33:45 I do love the conversations I have with Mike August. He's like, we got January 5th and 6th in Phoenix. I go, we do? He goes, oh, yeah. And I go, that's never been on my plug sheet. He goes, well, it's on the website. I go, yeah, but it's not on the plug sheet. He goes, it's on the website.
Starting point is 00:34:01 I go, well, don't assume that anyone's going to go to the website and then make it the plug sheet or whatever it is. I can't figure it out. It's not the website. I go, well, don't assume that anyone's going to go to the website and then make it the plug sheet or whatever it is. It's, I can't figure it out. It's not fixable. Well, like me. Not, I used to remember when I'd go on the website and there'd be dates for shows that were three weeks in the past.
Starting point is 00:34:17 And I'd go like, hey, you got to fix this. And they'd go, yeah, yeah, it's tough. You know, I said, I mean, I'm not a computer expert, but I think it's possible. I think it's pretty doable. I think it's pretty doable. All right. And then Solana Beach coming up. FitzDog's going to be with me there and Skinny Jody Miller.
