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.
Starting point is 00:02:12 Dr. Drew's board-certified physician, disrespect specialist. All right, now we're talking on our last show about Barbara Boxer, Senator. I'm gonna tell you, I get Congress and Senator all mixed up all the time. She Congress or Senator? She was Senator. Senator Barbara Boxer and her daughter
Starting point is 00:02:35 that was on your show. Now here's that thing that's weird, Drew. I was saying, I was trying to think about it. I said, well. Like when it was yeah And I thought well Drew and I've been doing our show since 2012 yeah, so then I was like it was after 2012 yeah, but not much after that so then I said about ten years ago, and then you said further back longer It feels like longer, but this is 2018
Starting point is 00:03:02 That's according to Drew's website Yeah, I gave you ten years you said longer It feels like about 12 to 14 years ago for me. It really can't be though because we didn't we wouldn't have started yet Yeah, okay, but here we go It's funny I was thinking about other things that were happening around that time. You're asking sorry about school choice. That's my question. Yes. We'll get a very succinct and detailed answer. School choice, by the way, a positive and good for the black community who likes it the most. Yeah. Okay.
Starting point is 00:03:45 But the Democrats don't like it, but they love the black children. I see, you know, Prager says this thing all the time, and it's, you know, I wouldn't have thought this several years ago, but now I just really think about it. Yeah. I don't think the Democratic Party gives a shit about black people, I think they just use them,
Starting point is 00:04:07 and I think that the women's movement just uses women, and I think the LGBT, I think every movement now just uses, you know, like, Stalin would use the workers, or, not Stalin, Lenin would like, I use the workers, you know, like, yeah, so, just for you, for you, the workers, you know, so just for you, for you, but just for you, for the movement, you know what I mean? It does, look, if the Democratic Party liked black people
Starting point is 00:04:35 and cared about young black people, they just go, is this an effective thing or not? Because you're constantly talking about early starts and education and education and early starts and pre-pres starts and pre preschool and pre-K and everything. This helps young black people. So you're not for it.
Starting point is 00:04:50 So then you don't care. That's it. There's a really interesting series. The whole women's thing, I don't think they, gay, lesbian, whatever, whatever the group that works, by the way, ACLU cares about rights, you know, speech and stuff, no you don't.
Starting point is 00:05:08 Everything is just turned into a political organization, give a fuck. There's one power and money. Yeah. 100%. Yeah. That's it. Black lives matter. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:18 You know what I mean? What black lives matter is give a fuck about black people. They don't do anything. They don't care, is what I'm saying, but which is fine. I don't care either. I just don't say I care. That's the difference. There's a really interesting series of videos flying around on X of these African-American women watching the RNC and
Starting point is 00:05:34 crying and going, oh my god, I was told these people are the white male devil and I'm seeing all these young women and they seem lovely and and they're like I I'm like, I'm they like feel like I'm upside down I don't understand I thought these were the that these were Satan I thought these are horrible racist people. I do want to say black community and or any brainwashed community it's all on you and and and quiet and COVID as well you fuckers you could have figured all this fucking shit out with one stroke of a finger on your phone you could have figured all this fucking shit out with one stroke of a finger
Starting point is 00:06:05 on your phone you could have figured out what ivermectin was but you wouldn't do it so it's on you idiots with the two-year-olds and the masking and the distancing and the hydroxychloroquine it's on you for not finding the shit out because it's real noble well real did you see Amber Rose at the RNC? No, I didn't. She was great. I mean Really worth your time to look at the moment what she says and what she says is her father who is a veteran of some type says They get in a conversation. She goes you're not voting for Trump. Are you he goes? Yeah, I think I'm going to and he's a Guys the devil the guys the day he's a racist. He goes no, he's not He goes, yeah, I think I'm going to. And he's like, the guy's the devil, the guy's the devil, he's a racist. He goes, no, he's not. He goes, he is a racist. He goes, look at us.
Starting point is 00:06:49 Wait a minute, I, okay, hold on. Trump, we're talking about Trump now. All right, but you gotta be careful, Drew, because you go, he says he is a racist, and then it's like, he's a racist, and he, you're doing the he too much. Okay, got it. You gotta use the word Trump. Trump is a racist. Trump is a racist, and the father says, I know he isn't. She insists that Trump is a racist. She goes, I'll prove it to you.
Starting point is 00:07:08 He goes, please do, show me. So she did research. She says this in the presentation of the RNC. She did her research and it was all bullshit. And she goes, oh my God, I was brainwashed. And she talks about the brainwashing and how she thought that everyone on the right was a horrible person and a racist and she said the only thing I find here is love and more women.
Starting point is 00:07:32 Listen, conservatives are a lot nicer than Democrats. Tommy Horowitz has pointed that out a million times with his videos, right? He does videos at the RNC and videos at the DNC. It's for me the easiest one is if you go, and I don't know that you have gone to the campus of Daily Wire, Ben Shapiro's outfit, Jeremy Boring's outfit, if you go to that campus, I'll just call it a campus, it's kind of a campus, I've been there three or four times probably,
Starting point is 00:08:03 it's palpable how friendly the young people are. And they're all conservative or they wouldn't work there. Insanely respectful and insanely friendly. And it's palpable. You notice a big difference between that and your standard Starbucks, the 22 year old who works at Starbucks with the blue streaks in the hair,
Starting point is 00:08:24 completely different thing. Yeah, completely. You know who else? I old who works at Starbucks with the blue streaks in the hair. Completely different thing. Yeah. You know who else? I found that, just weirdly, but Mike Lindell's group, My Pillow. You talked to the customer service and the people over there like, thank you so much for doing business with us. It's an employee-owned thing. We so appreciate you being here.
Starting point is 00:08:41 It's like, what can we do to help? How much? What? By the way, the kids, the conservative kids like in the neighborhood and stuff, much better behave, just much better. So I don't know, yeah, the part, I wanna be careful. Mean and racist.
Starting point is 00:08:55 Is that condemn? Now let's. Is that condemn people? Oh, fucking let's do it. Listen, listen, the woke activist kids are fucking devils. They're the pain in the fucking ass. It's all self-esteem shit. But anyway, all right, we got Barbara Boxer and her daughter from June 2018, a scant six years ago.
Starting point is 00:09:16 And what's wrong with school vouchers, he wants to know. Why not school vouchers? If people want to use the free market. Oh, the problem, I'll tell you the problem with it it's taxpayer money and it's going to schools away from schools it's money taking out of schools where 95 percent of the children in the country go. I have no problem with charters but I think to take people out to private school it's taxpayers funding that's going there and I think that's wrong I would just say to Adam Adam update your spiel dude that's that's my spiel really the voucher system yeah like you know you need sorry Nicole boxer you need to suck my hog bitch
Starting point is 00:10:06 That's my that's my updated spiel Good fucking lucky right before we set that video up drew goes one more question for Adam and she goes Oh anything for Adam I can't get that yeah, maybe you should update your spiel Listen, they asked the money follows the kids. And so when the kid gets pulled out, the money gets pulled out. But then the money gets spent much more efficiently
Starting point is 00:10:30 by the private sector for the kid's education, which helps the kid, and presumably is done at half the price. So then the taxpayer gets a break as well. So that's why I'm with that. I missed the part where she said she likes charter schools, which is kind of interesting. Yeah. That was Barbara Boxer. All right.
Starting point is 00:10:45 That was good. Yeah. And you know why? Because charter schools, it's inescapable. The data on charter schools are such, the outcomes are so much better. Yes. Yes. Guess why?
Starting point is 00:10:57 Parents are involved. Parents are very involved with the structure and sort of execution of the school. But even those schools, I guess, will not be able to tell any of the parents in that community about any transitioning thoughts on the part of the kid. Well, they really don't like private schools because private schools are the ones that like didn't want to close during COVID and stuff like that, and especially religious private schools. They got a big problem with that.
Starting point is 00:11:21 Well, it is interesting, isn't it? The religious right so-called was up our ass all the time in love line days. And I feel like that's just not around anymore. It's interesting, but the right-leaning folks still are painted with that brush as though it's still a cornerstone. I think that maybe is the abortion thing, the abortion controversy.y well, they don't I mean, you know anyway, they don't know or care or whatever, you know, look the reason So what we didn't talk about when we were talking about the Attempt at the assassination with Trump. Yeah is Something that I've said to you on and off the air for
Starting point is 00:12:07 quite a long time, which is if you're going to call a guy Hitler, then you're going to have, it's a call to action. Right. Just to do the thought experiment, if you could be a time traveler with what you know now and could go back to 1935 and someone puts a knife in your hand and you're alone in a room with Hitler, What are you going to do? Yeah, so there's there's a couple of things that
Starting point is 00:12:32 So let's try to figure this out. You ready? You know they get into this Semantics thing we're like well, we're gonna put a target on the Democrats and we want them in the cross We went we want Phoenix in the in the crosshairs to get more People to get out to vote and stuff and they kind of get into this semantic thing where you said crosshairs You know and you said that's something And or you said this person wanted to raise taxes or give tax cuts to his buddies or put up a wall or something None of that is a call to action, right?
Starting point is 00:13:07 Sometimes I try to spin it into a call to action, you know That's not a call to action. But when you keep saying Hitler then that that's a call to action it's sort of It implies that it implies you need to stop this It implies that it implies you need to stop this by any means I'm saying that's what I'm saying I'm saying I think there's a difference between You even saying this guy's dangerous, you know, like I go Oh Joe Biden gets a second term He's gonna ruin the country. This guy's dangerous or you know, some of our foreign term, he's gonna ruin the country, this guy's dangerous, or you know, some of our foreign,
Starting point is 00:13:46 this is gonna be great for our foreign adversaries, they're gonna love this guy and our NATO allies, or blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, but that's not a call to action. But Hitler is a call to action, which is different than just kind of slinging mud. Right, so. Hitler is a call to action, so. Hitler is a call to action.
Starting point is 00:14:05 End of democracy is a call to action, probably not to the extent of Hitler. One notch down. One notch down. Maybe, I don't know how many notches there are. Well, but it's just one tick below, but you know what's interesting, so after the. I don't want to get into semantics.
Starting point is 00:14:22 It's less because it's a little vaguer and also nobody believes it, but it's still a call to action. So you go Hitler, you go end a democracy, that's a call to action. You say we gotta beat these guys up at the polls and we're putting our sights on Denver to win back the house or something.
Starting point is 00:14:43 That's not a call to action. Hitler, call to action. A hundred percent. And so Biden is interviewed after the assassination attempt and that guy goes, do you feel like you have something, you know, some maybe your rhetoric was in some way a little too inflammatory. And he goes, he literally goes, no, the guy's got to threat democracy. What am I supposed to do? And I was like, oh shit, they're not going to let up. Well, they say they're going to let up, but he's, but when, when presented, he said he was going to the night before, said he was going to let up.
Starting point is 00:15:15 And then presented with the question does not let up. That's all they got is the end of democracy, which is, oh, there's January six. But I think, but I think, I think this may be where his cognitive stuff may be coming in I'm gonna bet people have said hey, come on, come on, come on, and he's so Over-learned with this one slogan II kind of thing. He just goes right to it No, he will go back to the guys with the bloodshot eyes Yeah, Tiki torches coming from the woods and that was his call to action.
Starting point is 00:15:45 He has a story like a heist. Overlearned behavior, overlearned thoughts. Right, so he cannot cease or stop. He can't get the new information in, maybe that might be the cognitive problem. So did he say that in that clip? Say the... What you said? He said, I saw him say, literally, he did it twice.
Starting point is 00:16:10 He did it with Lester Holt, you guys can find that, and then he did it with a sort of Gen-Z interview he did afterwards. And the guy pushed him. The guy said, hey, don't you think that you might want to, you know, he said it in a very conversational way, and he goes, he actually said, can you think of anything redeeming about this human being? I mean, he goes in a nearly exact same, he goes, no, I can't. Nothing. Nothing redeeming about him. But he went back to the end of democracy. Yes, he absolutely went back to the end.
Starting point is 00:16:39 We have the Amber Rose clip, 55 seconds from the RNC, which I did not see, but Drew did. The first person I knew who supported Donald Trump was my father. I was shocked. My entire family is racially diverse. And I believe the left-wing propaganda that Donald Trump was a racist. My father said, no, he's not Amber. What are you talking about? And when I insisted, he said, no he's not Amber, what are you talking about? And when I insisted, he
Starting point is 00:17:06 said prove it. So to prove my father wrong, I did my research and looked into all things Donald Trump. People have to do their research. I watched all the rallies and I started meeting so many of you, his red hat wearing supporters. He's moved by this, Trump. I realized Donald Trump and his supporters don't care if you're black, white, gay or straight. It's all love. All right.
Starting point is 00:17:42 Yeah. And she was, I look at her, it takes my breath away. This is Amber Rowe. She looks great up there. And by the way, our buddy David Sacks, he spoke also and the guy, Adam, I had dinner with and his- He shared a potato with the man. He shared a potato with a billionaire. That was quite a moment. And his speech was loaded with zing, like, powerful words, but he didn't have this delivery. Her delivery was better. And I thought, oh man, it's so interesting to me. It's not easy to get up in a room in a stadium and deliver a speech like this, you know what I mean? You can imagine how weird it is, the mic feeding back and... Hold on, Drew, I think you're overselling this a little. She's...
Starting point is 00:18:28 Maybe. She broadcasts, she's a professional speaker, and she loaded up the teleprompter and she read the teleprompter. Well, I watched a lot of other speeches. In a poised way. Yes, and I watched a lot of other speeches that did not land. Okay. All right, quick break. Be right back after this. And just to follow what I was saying before the break, it made me sit and think about the experience of being at that podium and how challenging it must be. You know what, I was how nutty I am. I don't know, see, my problem is I wouldn't find it that challenging and so I then discount it as a skill.
Starting point is 00:19:10 Do you do what she did and go, I know, Dad, I'm not doing it very conversational, or do you do what most of the people do at the podium? I'm not, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,
Starting point is 00:19:23 blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah don't know, I think, well, you know, if you gave me a little bit to work out something, put it in the prompter, I think I'd be fine. You know what I ended up doing? I'm embarrassed to say this. Good. I ended up looking at Hitler's speeches because I thought, who gets in a giant room like that
Starting point is 00:19:41 and has an impact? And I thought, oh, I don't wonder how that dude did it, because he really, he brainwashed people. And you know how he did it? He started out extremely soft. First of all, he wouldn't come to the podium. He would stand before the mic for one minute, just stand there, and then walk up to the mic and go, you're good people. I'm one of you. I know what this is like. We have been terribly put about. And he does several minutes on that and then he builds to his craziness.
Starting point is 00:20:11 And that's, again, this is, these giant, giant rooms, it's gotta be sort of weirdly challenging, that's all I'm saying. So I'm embarrassed. Because I like Hitler, buddy. Stop it with that. I just was curious how people get brainwashed. You're an idiot, you don't have to research stuff. Yeah. All right. Don't even oh, yeah, I'm tired of I listen I have to qualify everything these days
Starting point is 00:20:31 No, you don't that's the problem. Don't qualify. I've told you I told Tucker Carlson Don't apologize and I always tell you don't qualify which I have gay friends. I got a poll I got the no apologies, I'm good on that. No, I always tell you don't apologize and don't talk about you have a black friend or a gay friend or family member's gay. You just did it. Well what I'm doing is I don't want shit taken out.
Starting point is 00:20:56 It doesn't matter. Qualifications are what they want because qualifications are all part of backpedaling and explanations and that's all they want. Okay, they do not think you're an actual racist. They do not think you're homophobic. They do not think you're misogynist. They do not think you're any of that.
Starting point is 00:21:16 They don't think Trump is any of that. They don't think anybody is any of that. Much less or more than that L-A-U-S-D thinks I'm something or anything. Nobody thinks that, you know what I mean? You know, that stupid thing when Valerie Burton, Ellie's like, thanks for trying to kill me, Adam. I have asthma, you know.
Starting point is 00:21:36 She doesn't think I'm trying to kill her. She's a narcissistic twat. And so, and so is George KK. He doesn't think any of whatever he's saying about me. He's a narcissistic old fucking queen douchebag who's making it about himself. He's not interested in me. He doesn't think I think that way.
Starting point is 00:21:58 Nobody thinks, there's nobody who thinks anyone real, they don't think Trump's a racist. They don't. And by the way, let me explain they don't think Trump's a racist. They don't by the way Let me explain something people who are making a point You know how you guys all love mitt romney now because he agrees with all your left-leaning bullshit You are calling him a racist 10 minutes ago So you can't call everyone if you call everyone a racist and no one is a racist. Will you please get that lesson? Please stop calling everyone a racist because now one is a racist. Will you please get that lesson? Please stop calling everyone a racist
Starting point is 00:22:26 because now I don't believe you. And if Mitt Romney is a racist, then what are you doing about it? He's free running around Provo. What's he doing? Shouldn't he be out of Congress? Shouldn't we get him out of here? What are you doing?
Starting point is 00:22:41 He was a racist. Or there's kids, you know, it's J.Lo. There's kids in cages. They're at the border. They're still there. What are you doing? He was a racist. Or there's kids, you know, it's jail. There's kids in cages. They're at the border. They're still there. What are we doing? Why have we lost interest? Is what I'm saying.
Starting point is 00:22:52 What does Nick Romney do? I haven't kept up with him lately. He just kind of went down the McCain kind of route. Was it McCain? I'm trying to think. oh, sorry, not McCain. Um, who's the blonde Republican who joined the January six committee and, uh, oh, uh, Cheney, Cheney, not, not McCain, another legacy hire, but,
Starting point is 00:23:17 but Cheney, they, all you have to do is agree with them for a second. Then you're, you're cool. You're good. Right. So so Mitt Romney was was racist but now he's on the right side of the aisle for January 6. I see he's mad about that. And and then we're good now we're good. So we but is he still a racist? I guess it's the question. Or have you guys just lost complete interest? All right. There's a little bit of that, by the way.
Starting point is 00:23:48 Well, what happened to the school and prison pipeline? Have we just completely lost interest? But do you ever hear me losing interest in things don't get fixed that I claim to be interested in? No, years of, years of torment. Beating me over the head with stuff. I'm literally driving here this morning watching traffic and everyone like cut people off and change lanes and no one is signaling and I'm like could you just put it up on the
Starting point is 00:24:15 sign just put it up on the freeway sign just say use your use your blinker it's the law that's that's that's all just do it what wouldn't you don't we want this like how many crashes are caused because people just start moving like it we won't do it no we well close slow for the cone zone every once in a while and some sort of weird holiday mixed sort of turn a phrase on You know on drunk driving like ho ho ho no drunk driving Yeah, you know that buzz driving is drunk driving seven million times. No, it's not because if Emmy listen to me. Oh
Starting point is 00:25:00 Pay attention if buzz driving is drunk driving then sober driving is buzz driving. Because it all gets moved up. Ah. Does it not? Uh huh. So two beers may be buzz driving, but it is not drunk driving. But if you kick it up, then whatever's underneath it is buzzed. Gets moved into the buzz spot.
Starting point is 00:25:22 That's what I'm saying. Man, most people are high these days anyway, so maybe we should. Different kind of buzz. I know. All right, Drew, I'm looking down my list of notable people who died. I was thinking about that too. Oh, you were?
Starting point is 00:25:35 Yeah. And while I'm looking at the dates, I'm looking at the people, and I'm seeing a name at the bottom that I don't recognize. I don't either. Star from Elf. Oh, it was the child actor. Oh. I would argue that, I don't either. A star from Alf. Oh, it was the kid that was the child actor.
Starting point is 00:25:45 I would argue that maybe as an uncomplimentary as it might be the memory of Benji Gregory. He doesn't belong on this list. No, whoever comprised this list may need to say kid from Alf because Alf is a sitcom that is 36 years old and there's nobody in it who's a household name except for Alf who's a sock puppet. You know what when I was putting this list together I actually wrote it and then I deleted it because I was like it's a show that's from their look, no, no, here's the thing. I know what Alf is, and I've seen Alf, and I've also seen Family Ties, but I've no idea what the nine-year-old boy from Family Ties' name was as an actor. He's the kid from Family Ties. But, but, I have thoughts on every one of these people, which feels a little unusual.
Starting point is 00:26:43 Shelley Duvall. Shelley Duvall struggled with mental health forever. Really? And she was... How did she die? It was a little vague. She has a, quote, partner. And I read his sort of description, and it sounded ominous. The bad part is whenever you read, she's out of her pain.
Starting point is 00:27:04 That's what he said. Oh, he did? Yes. Oh, I didn't read. Something like that. I thought you were quoting it. There's something in that zone. No, no.
Starting point is 00:27:12 If you read out of their pain, it could mean a long struggle with a physical disease. Or it could be just cancer. But usually... Whatever. No, it's not just cancer. Wait a minute. I'm just, go ahead, finish. Let's break your thought process down. You were talking about suicide. Because you were talking about mental struggles. I was talking about chronic mental illness. Chronic. You don't die of being chronically mentally ill. Well, when people, I don't
Starting point is 00:27:44 interpret that as suicide. When people say she's out of when people, I don't interpret that as suicide. When people say she's out of her pain, I don't. What do you interpret it as? I have maybe drug using and struggling and never treated and just sort of, I mean, people deteriorate in lots of ways. Well, you're chronically, mentally ill and now you're out of your pain. Your pain's not. It doesn't apply, I get you.
Starting point is 00:28:03 It's not joint pain. No, I get you. I know what you're saying. Knees and ankles. I know what you're saying, but sometimes people like, they... Okay, I interpret finally out of their pain. Well, okay, couple things. If the person's applied, if they're 28
Starting point is 00:28:20 and they're finally out of their pain, they kill themselves. Or drugs, yes. Or accidental drugs. and they're finally out of their pain, they kill themselves. Or drugs, yes, or accidental drugs. I do not think, I don't think accidental drug use because anyone these days could buy some shit online
Starting point is 00:28:34 that's fentanyl-laced and they think they're taking a Percocet and they OD. I don't equate that. Now, look, if you've been struggling for 40 years, okay, something, but I do not have out of pain. Out of pain, finally out of pain means suicide to me. And struggling with mental issues and then finally out of pain, that's what that means.
Starting point is 00:28:56 Now I have no idea how did Shelley Duvall die. And by the way, if I was compiling this list, I probably would put that on there. Yeah. Dr. Ruth, 96. Dr. Ruth, do you know she was an Israeli sniper? I kind of heard that. And she told me that she was a sniper because she was so small she could fit into these
Starting point is 00:29:15 little potholes and things that they wanted to position her in. And the loveliest person you ever meet in your entire life. And I have deep regret. She kept trying to tell me to come visit her up above the cloisters in the Upper West Side of New York where she lives and I never got there. That feels bad. All right, but she was 96. Yep. Richard Simmons, again, died suddenly in a weird kind of circumstance and you kept hearing that something weird was going on with him and he was isolated, only would go out in costumes and things. I don't know what that was. Something's not right about the whole story with Richard Simmons. I wonder if we'll ever learn that one day.
Starting point is 00:29:51 I don't think we will. Probably not. Because that's the way we roll. Yeah. Shannon Doherty, breast cancer, right? Yeah. I got a lot of strange feelings about Shannon Doherty. Why? Because she struggled for a long time with that. She did.
Starting point is 00:30:06 And she announced early she would never die of it. And it's just no big deal. And it's positive and allowable to keep her out. Then I read an article from her doctor yesterday who co-signed all that. And it was a very odd article where I was always at dinner with her. And she died at home.
Starting point is 00:30:21 And I kept to see her coming. I expected her to see her come out serving his pizza like she always did. Doctors do not get to be also friends of their patients. They have to be one or the other preferably. Only in extreme circumstances might you blur these things and never if there are mental health issues. And I always heard there was mental health stuff with Shannon. I don't know if you heard some of that stuff. Plus or hard? Well, I have no idea. Well, first, okay, can I say this?
Starting point is 00:30:48 Yeah. I'm driving home yesterday and I'm listening to talk radio and there's a commercial and it's like, one in four Americans suffers with mental illness. And it's like, yeah. And it's gonna be 87%, five years from now, if you bitches have your way.
Starting point is 00:31:07 Because you've spread it out. Okay, you ready? If anyone who has a child can, and if you have a daughter, then there's gonna be 100% chance of them being the victim of sexual abuse. There's gonna be a hundred percent chance of them being the victim of bullying and there's gonna be a hundred percent chance of them having mental issues and psychological illness. They'll say mental illness.
Starting point is 00:31:37 One hundred percent, six years from now it will be one hundred percent because you guys have taken the fucking definition of it and spread it so wide that everyone's been bully Everyone's been sexually abused everyone's been sexually harassed and everyone has mental illness And so do you know what happens when that happens the nomenclature changes it shifts. So now we have a category called serious mental illness So everybody has mental illness, but not everybody has serious mental illness. Right. So I just, when I, now it also undermines your point because if everyone has mental
Starting point is 00:32:13 illness, no one has mental illness, and if everyone's a racist, then no one's a racist, and everyone's homophobe, then no one's a homophobe. See what you do with shit? You fuck it up. And I stop believing you because you're just telling me everyone has it now Yeah, all right, and then Benji Gregory died 46, of course. Everyone knows him from 36 and a half years ago what I didn't have much thoughts about that. I have Sniffed a little drug or something maybe going on. I have no idea what he died of. I heard heat stroke. Heat stroke? Why was he out of the
Starting point is 00:32:51 heat? No, no. Heat stroke is not a good answer. Well, heat stroke, if a young person dies of heat stroke, heat stroke has like a 70% fatality rate, but if you get to that point, it's because you're out of it, strung out on drugs, lying on the sidewalk, and you got heat stroke, that kind of thing. Yeah. Don't know. Don't trust heat stroke. But Shelley Duvall, complications from diabetes.
Starting point is 00:33:15 What does that mean? See, that's what I was like. So what I got is completely sure. This is what I took from all that given what I knew. Went to the bank to deposit residual checks on the 12th fell asleep in his car tragically died of a vehicular heat stroke. All right, you had Drew's right on this one. Yeah. And here's the whole thing because you don't fall asleep in your car at the bank unless there's something going on.
Starting point is 00:33:44 Correct and or fast food or wherever you're obviously and Shelley but Shelley though Here's the whole thing, because you don't fall asleep in your car at the bank unless there's something going on. Correct. Or fast food or wherever you fall asleep. And Shelley, but Shelley though, what I took from that was not attending to her medical problems, deteriorated because of her mental illness to the point that it was like, all right, I'll let her go. All right. All right.
