The Adam and Dr. Drew Show - #1964 Preemptive Sniff

Episode Date: January 22, 2025

Adam & Drew open the show by discussing what changes Trump returning to the White House might bring, how the government only adds restrictions, never takes them away, and how everyone who needs to rebuild after the L.A. fires is now a small business owner.

Recording 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 the... Specials going on, Dr. Pinsky. You know, the world's changing I think. I think we've gone from a wizened old angry behind the times old men to sort of clairvoyant

and understanding things as they really are. Well to me, I'm satisfied because there is something that is especially satisfying to a large group of people in this nation that infuriates me, and that's the nothing sort of double salad talk. You know what I mean? Just sort of the nothingness. And I was sort of picturing Kamala Harris, if she had won the presidency, getting up there talking about us being better together

and joy and finding joy and seats at the table and dignity and people treated with dignity and no child being left behind or going to bed hungry. And then, well, with some other stuff about the rich keep getting richer And they're taking away from the poor and leaving them behind and hope and change and stuff Versus like here's what the fuck we're doing. Yeah, we are doing this Let's get some things done and get things good for people. Yes. It's it's weird, but it is very

It's weird, but it is very attractive. Like, that kind of talk is attractive to women and black people and especially black women. They just fucking love that talk. Nothing happens, the lot never gets better, but they're like groups where like, that stuff is probably very unaccepted. I would say not well received. Like if you said Asian men, they go fucking hate that talk.

They're not wired for that talk. They're wired for movement. Indian, Indian men, South Indian. Yeah, South Indian men. That all just sounds like Charlie Brown's teacher to them. And then there's heavy set women of color and they just nod their head. Now the talk is meant to help them because the Asian men and the Indian, East, you know, Asian Indian and stuff, they're all fine. So the talk is for the women who are

nodding their head, but nothing ever. I mean, I don't know how much talk, how much talk did Biden do trying to sort of satiate black people, you know what I mean? Whatever, for four years of just sort of, embarrassingly in my opinion, it feels embarrassing to me, trying to satiate the black community. I don't know, where are they? How are they doing? Has it done anything?

Like what happened? What's going on? It's weird how satisfying that is to so many people and to me it is nails on the chalkboard. I wanna know what the fucking plan is. And by the way, is there footage of Gavin Newsom or Kamala Harris or Karen Bass going, hey, these wildfires are going to bite us in the ass. We don't start moving on it now.

Yeah. And there's stuff that needs to be done. Yeah. There's stuff that can be done. And we're going to start doing it. Or at least do everything we possibly can. Well, yeah. And if we can't, why can't we?

That's what I'm saying. Yeah. We're going to clear the floors, we're gonna clean up the pine needles, we're gonna refill the aqueducts. If there's footage of that, then I'll say fine. But I never hear that speech. It's just some sort of mealy, kind of gauzy over the lens,

kind of Vaseline on the lens, kind of, well, California is a place where you're free to love. I mean it. That's all I ever hear. So I don't know what it is. I just keep thinking about Boeing. A door blows off the aircraft. Next week, CEO is replaced.

That's it. That's it. Buck stops there. All right. Sorry. That's where it goes. Why we don't do that in the political process is shocking to me. Because there's nothing Gavin Newsom could fuck up that would get my mother to not vote for Gavin Newsom. Which is weird, right? I think that Justin Trudeau has a similar... I kept asking Gad Sad that's like, why do they go along with this? And Gad Sad keeps telling me the same thing, because he's dreamy. Right, right. And look, 50... I don't know what California is, but the population of

the United States and the world is majority female. So if they're gonna respond to Dreamy, there's gonna be a lot of votes coming into Dreamy. Also, I don't know that my mom was ever affected by policy, per se. She just lived in someone else's house and someone else bought shit for her and she just, she hung out.

You know what I mean? She didn't really, look, when you try to to start a business then you start to think about things like this right you know hold on yeah what so I've been saying for 200,000 fucking years try to go pull a permit try to pull a permit. The earliest things I said into a microphone on Love Line circa 1996 was try to pull a permit and then get back to me on what you think of the government because I had been pulling them since I was swinging a hammer and then later on when I became a homeowner there was another permit process now I'm pulling my own permit. Have you noticed them getting much worse across that time?

Yeah. Yeah. Well, no, what happens is, so what ends up happening is you take some time off, like from doing the projects, building. You know, now at a certain point you've done it for 40 years, you know, but you don't do it every year because I'm not a contractor, you know. So at some point you take some time off and then at some point you try to build something like I built the mezzanine in my other warehouse and they go okay well they're gonna want a footing and they're gonna want a footing and a shear wall and then so you go okay well let's see footing should be I don't know it's always 24 wide 24 deep number

four rebar yeah okay we can do that And then they come back and they go, no, no, three foot wide, three foot deep, number five rebar. And you go, what happened? When did this thing? It's like, well, they keep adding. They always, the footing used to be 16 deep and 12 wide. Then at some point it was two foot wide and two foot deep. Now it's three foot wide and three foot deep. And it used to be number four rebar. Now it's number six rebar.

Rebar moves in one eighth increments. So number four is half inch and six is three quarter and five is five eighths. Is this all earthquake safety? Is that the conceit? Well, nothing, so all people do is sort of sit around and make rules, you know, and the rules don't get rescinded, they get added upon, you know what I mean? So they just keep, listen, I'm gonna write this down. Preemptive sniff. The beach... You've heard my beach speech, Drew?

Which one? Oh, you don't know my beach speech. But everyone, just dig this beach speech, please and tell me if it's not a metaphor for things California known for its beaches. Yes famous for its beaches. Yeah when and The beach represents freedom in the United States You know the pilgrims and the Mayflower and all that kind of stuff, right? And then in the 60s, they drive their cars out to the beach and they'd surf the waves. Yeah. Yeah. It's freedom. It's California. It's California.

And it's freedom. Yeah. Okay. Uh, well back when Carol Shelby had a shop in Venice beach, California, in the early sixties, mid early sixties, you go to the beach and what would you do? Well, light a cigarette drink a beer run around with your dog start a campfire whatever that was to be what you wanted to be fair by the way the the madman had a great scene like this in a park where he was smoking a cigarette having a picnic and got a bunch of trash at the end just shakes off his his blanket that he was sitting on and

leaves everything all over the beach Yeah, which is hysterical. All right. Let me continue. Yeah without your digressions so You it's not funny You would go the beach and you would do whatever the fuck you want, correct And then at some point they put a sign up and it said no campfires on the beach and you thought All right, I get it. No fire't know, fire hazard or something. I don't know. Okay, no fire hazard. But I'm still bringing my pack of cigarettes and I'm still bringing my beer and I'm still bringing

my dog because it's the beach. And I'm bringing my frisbee and maybe I'll bring my dune buggy. And then at some point they added another thing. Yeah, and it said no drinking So you're like, oh no campfire no wine I mean that's kind of that's the beach experience the blanket the campfire your lady and bottle of wine, you know No, no drinking and then it went no smoking and then it went no dogs and then I went no frisbee And then it just no dogs and then I went no frisbee and then it just kept going now the sign At the beach in California's 26th things long of what you can't do, right?

Does anyone ever remove anything from that sign? No, let's your homeless or do they do whatever? Yes, it should all everything should just say unless you're homeless at the bottom of every sign loitering, whatever, alcohol, intoxication, public drinking, smoking, whatever it is, unless you're homeless you do whatever the fuck you want. Well what does the government do? The government and the Yentas and the city council sit around every year and they've got, what can we tack onto that sign?

Nobody ever says, why don't we pull a few things off the sign? That doesn't happen. So then it goes from Carroll Shelby in 1965 to Adam and Drew in 2025 and lo and behold, the sign, it just got longer and longer. It's like a cheesecake factory menu. It is so long now with what you can't do. Well, that's what government does. And that's what they do with policies. Now, eventually, there's nothing you can do with the beach. And then eventually, people start trying to smuggle in a beer

and you see the guy dumping the beer into the sand with the lifeguard telling him to dump it in the sand. I always liked that. It's like, one in the afternoon, there's a 40 year old guy, he's drinking a beer on the beach, he's dumped. It's like his stepdad caught him or something. You can't imagine how the lifeguards hate that too.

I would, well. It's not their job. I wouldn't, well first off, I would never enforce any of this shit if I was a lifeguard. But the point is, they add, the footing gets wider, the footing gets wider the footing gets deeper the rebar gets thicker and then they just it's not two by fours on the

sheer wall it's four by fours now and it just keeps going and it never stops and what we have with all the people and so I I always say, well, look, you got to, if you're a small business owner, you know what I'm saying. If you're Chef Gruel and you're trying to run a business and the health department's coming at you every which way from Sunday, you know what I'm talking about and you agree with me and when you start talking about, let's get a businessman in there to start lowering some of this regulation, let's see if we can fix this.

You vote for that guy. Now my mom collects free shit. So she doesn't want, she wants Karen Bass. She wants Karen Bass not because she knows what Karen Bass does. It's a woman. It's black. It feels good. Black woman. Something. You something, whatever, fine. Okay, when the fires hit and burned everyone's house to the ground and they have to rebuild and they have to deal, the building department and plan check is the tip of the government spear. It doesn't get more governmental than that. You know when you're sitting there And you're going they're going to kind of a steel inspection Steel. All right, a lot of these new house is gonna be built with steel. Yeah, right. Okay, they're gonna do

The big orange stuff the I beams H beams, you know They do the big stuff and then they'll probably do some non-bearing steel like this place is built, metal stud, they call it, but it's not bare, it's not load-bearing, is what I'm saying, but they'll build it out. Okay. When they do all the big orange steel that you see, mostly in commercial stuff, they bolt that shit together and they weld it as well. Now, when you're done welding, the city doesn't come out and inspect the welds. You have to get a sonogram. You literally, the equipment that a woman uses

to see her pregnancy through her skin or uterus, they inspect it with the sonogram. Do other cities- But by the way, who do you think pays for the sonogram guy to come out and inspect? Okay, let me just say this. The city of LA goes, you want to pull a permit? And you go, yeah. They go, okay, write us a check. We'll give you a permit.

Well, the permit is ostensibly because they have inspect they have to pay their inspector to come in by about No, no, there's deputy inspectors You want to weld? You have to hire a deputy inspector by the way deputy inspectors just some guy doesn't work for the city's It's sort of gun for hire guy who's bonded or whatever pass some tests or something, right? That guy comes out and he's supposed to watch the welder weld now we're doing a sonogram we're doing a sonogram we're going to inspect the welds with the sonogram so why do I have to pay for the deputy I pay for the deputy inspector and the sonogram guy to inspect the well.

I screamed about this on Love Line in like oh three oh four when I was building my house, but nobody cared. Nobody cared at the time, you know. So the deputy inspector, he gets it's all just window dressing. The deputy inspector pulls up in his truck and he sits in his truck and he eats a breakfast burrito. And he watches this guy weld for about 45 minutes and then at some point he writes up a certificate of completion which I need to hand to the city. All I need from him is this piece of paper He's not gonna sit there for eight hours and watch this guy weld He's gonna sit he didn't get out of his truck be interested to get a sort of a interview these guys

Well, it's sort of except for their what they're doing is illegal Yeah, because he's being paid for an eight hour shift to inspect Welding and he doesn't get out of his fucking truck, but he knows much like the traffic school teacher, all you need is that certificate. You're not going to fucking complain that you didn't sit at that YMCA for eight hours, right? Just give me the certificate. He gives you the certificate, you give him 400 bucks you got your certificate he's good later on you must pay for sonogram to come out and inspect the welds and i scream the top of my brains

this fucking guy doesn't get out of his truck what's he doing just looking at a guy welding you know what i mean he didn't come back when he was done and inspect the welds, but we're doing a sonogram on all the fucking welds. So what do we need this guy for? So is this LA City? Now hold on. All of these people who got their houses burned down, who used to vote pretty blue, pretty left, they're all now turning into small business owners. Because they got to, because rebuilding your house is a small business with the city. And they're gonna see it and they're gonna fucking hate it and they're gonna want something

different. Do you think they'll, I mean the insurance companies will be the ones managing a lot of it right? Or they hand them money and then they got to make it work? Is that, how does that work? Either they're going to go into the... Half of them are already selling the land, by the way. Yeah. Which is interesting. Okay. Either they're going to go downtown and find out face to face what a shit show this is and by the way Just like TSA you're the enemy right, you know if you

Stood up in in the plan check place and said I've been here for over an hour sir. Sit down. You know, it would be you're not it's not Mr. Pinsky, how can we help you? I mean, it's none of that. It's fuck right off. Like, you're bothering them when you show up. They're looking for any reason to tell you to leave. And either these people are gonna go find out firsthand, or they're gonna say to their contractor,

what's going on? Like, there's been no work for for two months. You guys started work on the pool and then you stopped work on the pool and then they're going, oh it's a hold up with the whatever thing and the permit. We need a whatever permit thing and we're not gonna. And then you'll just get retroactively angry, not in the office but through the process. Well it's gonna be interesting, that's for sure. Now, is this LA city, LA county, states, all the above?

I don't know, it's all the above. And so are there other states or counties or cities that have similar encumbrances? Or is this just out of control relative to everybody else? Well, any city, I'll tell you what, let's take a quick break. Then I'll tell you all about it right after this. Hey, it's Adam Kroll from the Adam Kroll Show.

these things are just gonna keep piling up and piling up. Anytime anyone brings up the environment, Coastal Commission and Sierra Club and stuff like that, you're fucked. If there's any environmental anything, you're fucked. So it's all, I mean, I swear to God, I've told you all these things, I've screamed about all these things for years

and years and years and no one cares. But Carson Daly, friend, regaledaled me lives in the Palisades now he moved to New York I don't know if Carson I don't know you could look it up Joe as Carson Daly you know I know where his house was and it was like it was in the Palisades but a little closer to Santa Monica. I don't know if he sold it Carson Daly was explaining to me that you know five hundred thousand dollar pool, you know back way back You know back in the day and I said Jesus a lot for pools said yeah. Well, we had to double hull it It's a double hull it. Yeah, we had to pour two pools Two pools like like a tanker. Yeah go, why two pools? Well, because the seepage from

the one, the Coastal Commission. Right? And the other thing that I've screamed for 200,000 years, Drew, is I keep saying, I would scream at people all the time, you've heard this one a million times. I go, what's wrong with doing number six rebar? What's wrong with going three by three? What's wrong with four by four shear bar? It just keeps costing money. You're not paying for it. I'm paying for it. Carson Daly has to pay for two pools. And my mom would go, what's wrong with the protecting... It's like a Jane Fonda. Maybe they need those regulations. They're good. But that was on Bill Marsh who said that on his Club Random. But that was on Bill Marsh, he said that, in his club random.

But you explained to me once, you were talking about weightlifting or something, about how much more extreme these regulations are as compared to what you need. Yes. Go through that analogy again, because it really impacted me. I didn't realize they were that out of control. Well, here's what I would say to you. Are you ready? Yeah. And I went on a long jag with Joel McHale. The two celebrity friends I have is Joel McHale's one and Carson Daly's another. Both of them tried to build

swimming pools in LA and it was a disaster. Not because you can't find a contractor to build you one, the city won't let you do it or they will make it so burdensome that you won't do it. Which is, and Jane Fonda likes that, you know what I mean? I don't like it. It's weird to me. All right, listen.

It's the opposite of freedom. Listen to me. Listen to me. I'm listening. Okay. I had a house in the Hollywood Hills that was built in 1927. In 1927, plywood had not been invented.

They did not have plywood. And a lot of earthquake stuff is sheer walls, I call them. So you have to skin everything with plywood, and then you have to nail the fuck out of it with like, you know, 10 penny ring shank nails six inches on the on the seam and 10 in the field, you know, there's there's nailing schedules, plywood shearwall schedules, they they you don't get to use any nail you want, you have to use the nail that they that they that they specify, right? So,

Daly's house, yeah. Oh, it was in Santa Monica. It was right on the edge, right? Palisades in Santa Monica, but it was in Santa Monica. So it's probably one piece, that's good. We got that double-hulled pool. A double-hulled pool. Where else in America would you have to, he built it. Where

else in America would you build two pools? You can only imagine the expense that that added to building a pool. Two pools, double-hulled. Okay, anyway, the point. Imagine if there's a crack in anything. Earthquake. What's that mean? I mean, if repairing it, how would you even go about it? It's double-hulled Drew so it won't crack. I don't know. Anyway, no, pools don't crack during earthquakes. Pools have so much rebar in them typically. Guess they could. Anyway, listen to me. All right house built 1927

There is no plywood. There's no shear wall. There's no straps Metal straps and strap they have clips and straps and straps and clips everywhere now. There is none of that Then it doesn't exist the foundation. It's not bolted to the foundation. It just sits on top of the foundation That's wild to me that you showed me that years ago. I was like Jesus. I had no idea Because people always talk about their earthquakes if house fell off its foundation. I was how's that possible? They just set it there Wow People go back and retrofit them and bolt them. There's companies that do that. Yeah do Shear wall and the cripple walls under the thing. I used to do that work, so anyway.

There's nothing. There's no J-bolts or all thread or shear wall or straps or Simpson straps or joist hangers, TECO clips, like everything is clipped and hung, everything's on something. Back then they'd just toenail it into the side of the thing. You know, they'd toenail it. You could see it in an old garage, Drew.

You're gonna know what I'm talking about. You ready? Yeah. Pre-shear wall, if you'd go to a house with like an old garage from the 50s or the 40s or something like that and you went inside, they didn't have drywall inside the garage, right? And what you would see in lieu of shear wall on that open frame wall would be a 1x6 let-in that called a horizontal piece of 1x, that they'd let

it in, they'd notch it in, and it'd go from the top right to the bottom left. It was one piece of 1x6. That's all they needed for that wall not to rack. Well, here's what I'm saying. The house you're in, looking at the 1x6 let in, was built in 1941 1941 and now you're sitting there and it's 2025 and they go whoo you better get some sheer well last I checked this thing made it through a few earthquakes in it not big ones yeah well the guy doing the lead-in is dead and he did it in 1941 and and by the way look at up I don't know find a picture of a garage horizontal lead in one by six these guys took one by six no straps no ply no ring shank, you know, nails, no

nailing schedule, no tico clips, no nothing. They just, sometimes it'd be one by four, like it's just one by, not two by, and they'd just notch it in and they'd just use a common head nail, just a regular nail, no screws, no clips, and it was just... And that was good enough because it worked mathematically that in an earthquake in whatever year, the thing was built. I mean, you'd see these things from the 30s, from the 20s. So what I'm saying to you is when I'm building my garage addition onto the back of my house from 1927 and they're like number six rebar and grade beams and caissons into bed. I'm like, well, the house that it's attached to is from 1927 with nothing. No caissons, no grade beams, no pilasters, no clips, no hold downs, no nothing. It doesn't have any of that.

But yet here it is. Do you know what I'm saying? So then you're saying to me, you've got to build this with your new garage. We've got to go down into bedrock, we've got to do all these caissons, we'll time in with grade beams. And I go, why so much? And they go, hey, we're an earthquake country. Where do you think the house goes?

Falls on top of the garage. Well, where did the house go during the last earthquake? Did it go to Montana? It's been here the entire time and it's fine. So maybe your shit's overkill? Yes? Yes, and you were telling me how bad the overkill was. It was like literally like when something, I forget what we were talking about, lifting or something, or you're trying

to lift 200 pounds, they'll say, no, no, no, you have to lift 3,000 pounds. Well, look, I'll tell you what it is. Is there a picture of what I'm saying here? I just want to make sure Drew knows what I'm talking about. I get what you're saying. Anyone who's been in an old garage. Oh, I've seen it. I know what you'm talking about. I get what you're saying. Anyone who's been in an old garage... Oh, I've seen it. I know what you're talking about....will picture that one horizontal thing going all the way across. Yeah, it's called a let-in. I would call it a let-in. Now, I'm just curious how the internet works. What you type in, Joe, and then you can tell me. There's always

gonna be something you typed in that's weird. Oh, there it is. Garage horizontal let in. All right. Yeah. There it is. Show me. We don't know what a let in is, so we're like, is this? Blow me one of those pictures.

Number two. Yeah, just blow it up there. Now, that looks like blocking. See, that's horizontal blocking. That's not really a let in. For a brick or something? No. Is there a brick behind it?

No. No, okay. Now go garage. This isn't a garage. Maybe it's a garage. I don't know. Let's see. What is blocking? Oh no. Go to picture number seven. There it is. Yeah, let's see. All right. That's the... Yeah. Oh, but why so tight wasn't it? What was the picture before it? Why'd it go so tight? Sorry number. There you go

Yeah, that's Blow that up and that's exciting for the viewers at home It's kind of a surface mount thing But the point is is the first shot or I'm, the shot previous to this was a very tight shot, of that's it, let in. That is a one by four, one by five that's notched in and it goes all the way across and it stops the thing from racking.

Did they use two by fours too sometimes for that? I feel like in my head, no, one by five. Okay. Drew. I'm just asking. Well first off, I said one by. No, I'm just trying well first off I said yeah one by no I'm just trying to reconcile no no listen to me yeah listen to me if you have two by fours in your wall yeah and then you let in a two by four yeah you're going to carve out too much of the existing stud I see and they're not going to be left with much there. Got it. Because the two by four is

three and a half, or it used to be two and four. Yeah. But what I'm saying is, is once you let it in, you only have two inches of stud left now. So that's why they would do one by. And you don't need that strength of that two by four in that situation. Got situation. You need the rack. Yeah. You know what I mean? Yes. Yes. All right. Really interesting. I find me interesting. Yeah. Well, it's the stuff that I still would love to know if other... Oh, look, what I was saying to you is basically LA County's like this. You go, look, I sell a weight bench. Oh, yeah, you screw up my analogy I did screw it up. I couldn't remember. I sell a weight bench and then you know bench press

Yeah bench and you go, okay Well the steel thing that you drop the thing needs to go up to be able to go up to 600 pounds, right? You go. Yeah, I mean, I don't know anyone who benches 600 pounds, but okay, you know what I mean? Yeah, but then LA gets involved they go we needed to go up to 7,000 pounds. And then you go, but nobody could bench press 1,000 pounds. Why 7,000? I go, well, safety, right? And then you go, but I think we should say,

what is the bench press record? 631 pounds? Why don't we make it 650? And that'll be the amount that it could be rated to for putting the thing back on the thing. It's got to be 7,000 pounds. And then, by the way, they just make the rule. And then when you manufacture it, you have to manufacture it. And then Jane Fonda and my mom go, what's wrong with that? And then I go, it makes the weight bench cost $2,000 instead of $400.

That's what's wrong with it and it's unnecessary. And then they go, I think everyone should have a weight bench. And then we're done. Now we're off and running. All right. Tonight, Covina Laugh Factory. Paul Rodriguez up on stage with me
