The Adam and Dr. Drew Show - #2005 A Dose of James Baldwin

Episode Date: May 21, 2025

In this episode, Adam and Dr. Drew begin by discussing artistic savants like Bruce Springsteen who are perceived as being genius until they speak their minds. Dr. Drew then dives in on Biden���s cancer diagnosis and talks about the very probable theory that Biden was diagnosed with metastatic cancer years ago and the side effects of the treatment. Adam questions how the mainstream media lumped Trump in with Biden to downplay his condition. Finally they take a phone call from a concerned father.

Oh, man.

Wow, buddy. We got a lot to talk about. Yeah, I gotta tell everyone quickly that this Saturday I'll be in Bellflower, the stand-up comedy club there. The first show is sold out, but there's tickets for the second, if you want to say hi.

All right, Drew, what do you got? Irvine, July 10th. Somebody asked me to come down for that. We'll have to come see you on that one, too. Okay, good. Yeah. What's you got? Irvine, July 10th. Somebody asked me to come down for that. We'll have to come see you on that one too. Okay, good. What's going on? So, I want to start with a thought I had.

We have another chance to talk about it because I've been so freaking busy and in weird time zones and stuff. By the way, this business of getting up at eight o'clock in the morning and it being 11 o'clock in the other side of the world where you're used to living is an odd thing. Because the day happened while you were asleep and you're used to living is an odd thing. Because the day happened while you were asleep and you wake up to all kinds of texts and emails. It's three hours difference. Nine hours difference where I was. Oh, wait, wait a minute. Oh, I'm sorry. You're waking up... I'm sorry. Waking up at eight.

And it being 11 where I'm used to living, meaning it's nine hours later in Croatia. So it's 11 p.m. here. Oh, it's 11 p.m. at eight in the morning. Right. And so the time I slept was daytime here. No normal hours. All right. All right. So here's what I'm thinking. Am I right that there has been a sudden, and I kind of mean sudden, like maybe today, shift where people are speaking with more clarity and certitude and... I almost wanna call it forcefulness. I noticed RFK Jr. taking on senators and going, hey, shut up, I got something to say here.

And I thought, oh, yeah, it's about time people said that to those assholes. Then I noticed Marco Rubio, same thing. Then I noticed you doing the same thing on Jesse Waters, I guess was it last night or am I looking at some old, where you talked about De Niro and Springsteen? Yeah, we're looking at a rerun from the 60s. Well, no, no, it might have been last week and I saw it on Twitter. No, oh, you saw it on Twitter. Oh, well, pardon me for being rude when you said I saw it last night. And I'm referring to it being a sudden change that's happened recently. I did the show on Monday night.

Okay. See how I do that, Drew? Which is what I thought I was looking at. Okay. See how I do that, Drew? Which is how I, what I thought I was looking at. Yes. And you, do you want to frame what you did there with the Denero and Springsteen, which I thought was pretty good? I, you know, I have a problem, which is, I, no, I do remember. That's you, Drew. Sorry, sorry, sorry. I enjoy. I gotta enjoy back in my discipline I'm not doing that. I'm not just how about just not talking ever. I I very much enjoy watching Jesse waters. Yeah, I enjoy the show. It's got a nice kind of got some comedy in it

It's got some edge and it's it's interesting. It's well produced. It's well produced. Yeah, it's a good show I however and and look forward to it I however and and look forward to it sometimes it's my kind of routine where I will exercise or something from the TV set Yeah, I have a hundred inch TV set back here And I will enjoy it sit sometimes sit my man cave and watch yes You watch if I am on the show it ruins the show for me. I have the same thing So I and now longer I can no longer enjoy Jesse Waters because I'm on Jesse Waters. So I have to fast forward through myself

or watch up into myself and then maybe skip past me or something like that. It doesn't ruin the whole show, but I no longer look forward to looking at that episode of Jesse Waters. Okay, good healthy, good healthy self-esteem. So what I was saying was that, and I used to say, I said it to you, all this shit,

I said this shit 25 years ago to you, and when I say 25, I could mean 28 or 29 years ago. I said everybody thinks Robert De Niro is a genius and everyone thinks Bruce Springsteen is a genius. Giovanni could pull the tape, upset it on Loveline in the 90s, the late 90s. Everyone thinks these guys are geniuses. Because they are geniuses at their craft, and they don't really

give interviews. Now, I don't mean don't give interviews. I just mean you don't see them on the view. You don't see them making a lot of... I don't know where they stand. They would go on Letterman, play glory days and come back back sit for 10 seconds and they throw a commercial So it's a refinery these God-given talents in this specific area and they looked right. Yeah, you have to look There's a certain look to people going that dude's got it going on. He knows what he's doing, you know but I used to say I Think these guys are idiots who are savants at what they do, and you all people think they're geniuses because you just watch what they do, and they're smart

enough to never give an interview and let you find out that they really have ten cent heads. Yep. Yep. And lo and behold, that announcement is over 25 years old. Now they both look like idiots, old idiots now, because they're now sharing their opinion and we certainly, nobody, people had regard for De Niro like off the charts and same with Bruce and now they're talking and they sound like fools

Bruce read this thing at one of his concerts in some other country last week and I read the thing and I thought wait a minute He didn't say this because they made it seem like he had said it like off top my head and I saw the video eventually He was reading it on top of his head. I beg your pardon. And I watched the video. Oh, he's reading it off a teleprompter. Oh, was he? Yeah. Oh, that's worse. Isn't that interesting? And he references James Baldwin, okay? I'm embarrassed that I did not, I was not familiar with James Baldwin's work, so I spent some time reading his stuff and looking at his essays. Guy's an unbelievable writer, like, oh my God, breathtaking. And his big observation, which I'm sure Bruce

did not know, he believed that he was being victimized as a black man, so he moved to France and he realized, oh, it's really just in me. I got to deal with what I've internalized. It's not out there, it's in me. And I thought, wow, we could use a dose of James Baldwin right now, especially as his genius for writing. Anyway, I just made that point. And the point is, you're absolutely correct. These guys, Tencent heads, barely described it. Rob Schneider had a really interesting tweet also. He was at the 50th SNL reunion, and De Niro was there, and he got kind of pushed into him. Of course, Schneider's wearing a MAGA hat. I'm sure that one...

That's awesome. And De Niro looks at him and goes, Schneider, what are MAGA hat. I'm sure that one. That's awesome. And De Niro looks at him and goes, Schneider, what are you doing? The guys are schmuck. He's gonna turn everybody into schmucks. And Rob was doing an interview with Sage Steele and he said, you know what I thought? I had a clear thought in my head. I can't believe Robert De Niro knows who I am. Yeah. Rob De Niro knows me. I thought that was very interesting. See, I'll tell you, there is a dress. Deniro knows me. That sounds very interesting. Well, I'll tell you, there is a dress. So it's sort of like when someone is gay, there's a certain dress, there's a certain

vibe, there's a certain posture, a certain speech, you know. They start moving in a certain way. There's certain things. Like, for instance, all progressive guys cross their legs like women including you but you're not progressive but you're an outlier but all when you see Justin Trudeau what they do literally it's a sign it's I cross my legs like I'm Mary Tyler Moore doing the Tonight Show in 1977 that's how I cross my leg and then as I cross my leg it'll hike up my top leg pant leg, it'll expose

my colorful sock. And then the you'll know where I'm at. This is a little it's like a weird little gay bandana in the back pocket kind of thing. Like, this will be our little code progressive people, I will cross my leg and I'll show you. Okay, let me tell you what progressive guy thing is. And this is what Bruce Springsteen is now. When you see the guy who wears the boots that lace all the way up, the stupid lineman boots, like, it's an unnecessary boot.

You're not doing anything. You're doing stand up or you're on stage or whatever you never needed boots less But it's the boot that laces up Then it's the gene that tapers down and they cuff the gene. Oh, yeah Now I don't know what the fuck that cup What do you do you buy your jeans four inches too long or what? What do you do when I order pants I go? I'm a 34 34. I'm a 35 34 I don't go give me a 39 and then I'll just

yeah okay it serves no by the way the cuffing of the pants I like you're waiting through a stream or anything it's fucking doing stand-up you're on stage you're playing a gig you have boots on that are tied all the way up unnecessary then the cuff unnecessary, unnecessary. Then the cuff, unnecessary. Then you start seeing the multiple bracelets on one hand, especially the cloth ones. You see the cloth ones, lots of bracelets on one hand. Then you see the one earring that you got

on your 67th birthday. You think it's a good idea? There it is. There's Trudeau, except for he's not wearing a colorful, he's got a sock with a pattern going on. Yeah, it's a little hot sock. But it's not the colorful one that signals to the universe who how I vote. Okay, then By the way, you can watch them all watch Gavin Newsom watch them all watch them how they cross their legs and then watch how Trump Crosses his legs. He doesn't cross his legs. He does this. He puts a

diamond in front of his testicles. He sits like this every time. Right. Okay. So now you have one earring that they got. They got a late in life they got this earring. Then there we go. There we go. Colorful socks. Okay, so there's Trump with the diamond, his diamond, which accentuates his nut sack. And then you have Justin Trudeau signaling, I have no balls. I have no balls. I will sit in this position for four hours,

cut off the circulation of my nut sack because I do not have balls, but I have colorful socks. So you know where I'm at. Ladies, gay community, you know where I stand. Look at my socks and watch me cross my legs like a chick. Okay, they all cross their legs that way. It's not a coincidence, Drew. It's not a coincidence. It isn't, it can't just be that the anatomy of leftist is different than the anatomy of people that are Republican. It's not. They're both making a statement. You understand? Yes, yes.

Justin Trudeau's statement is, I'm a chick. Because that's how chicks, those are chick socks with a chick. And by the way, there's no leadership in those socks. Is it conscious? Some of this stuff, it's like Bruce, when Bruce decided to get lineman boots and cuff his jeans Is it something he wrote down or is it could be a person dressing? It's it's it's a part of it's it's a it's a sort of Generally you or something of just something kind of washes over them slowly. They start talking a certain way They think it'd be a good idea to get the one earring. They do the boots, they do the cuff, they do a vest with no jacket over it.

Listen, you can find, look at pictures of Mark Maron. They look exactly the same. It's a dress code. See what I'm saying? And they have the bracelets and they have the one earring. And that's how they do it. Now, trucker cap with the Oakley blade sunglasses upside down on the bill. Well, that's a different vote. That's a different vote. All right. So Bruce is becoming, has become that person. He went from, and what he doesn't really get is all his long Shoreman long island, you know rough and tumble get on the back of the motorcycle. That's not who he is anymore He's he's an elitist or he loves big government. I don't I Right. I mean all all these fucking phonies. It's all full of shit when they do that working-class thing It's all bullshit any Any affect is bullshit.

Any of it. So the reason I brought this all up is I feel like we're entering a phase where people can speak clearly and freely. So I spoke up about Biden's prostate cancer diagnosis yesterday and oh my god, how dare you. Monday, Monday you spoke about. Monday at Baker Park, yes.

Where, fucking I don't know where I am right now. I know, but I already did know where I am right now. I know, but I already did the math. I helped you earlier in the show. And, oh my God, how dare you. And I thought, you know what? I'm sorry, but that's my opinion. And that's it. Take it or leave it. My opinion is my opinion. I don't want to say go fuck yourself, but I kind of feel like the fact that you would think that a physician offering an opinion is somehow an outrage, and I'm of the opinion that I have an obligation to assess somebody. Let's say I'm sitting on a 777 and somebody gets in the pilot seat who I think is impaired, I have an obligation to ask some questions and offer an opinion. This is way more important than that even.

And I think we have a moral ethical responsibility to just go, ha ha ha, let me give you my opinion. That's all. Now, Drew, you took way too long to come around to this thing. It took you like seven years to do. Yes, I've said the whole time, just. Go fuck yourself. That's how this

stops. It's basically stopping now because of these people. Everyone has a slightly different technique. You know, RFK Jr., his is mouth of babes. He doesn't, he just starts talking. Yes. You know what I mean? And he just goes, well, black men don't have an enzyme and fight this thing, so they should get an extra booster shot, whereas white people, and then the black chick goes nuts in Congress. What did we just say? You talking about my girlfriend?

And he's like, well, I'm just talking about science. What are you talking about? Like, he's mouth of babes. He doesn't care. He's just going, here's what's happening. And then the drug company is giving you guys all the money and so you're making bad decisions. He's just saying quite stuff out loud. He's just a kid saying to the fat Mae, Deale, don't sit on the chair, you'll break it because

you're so fat. Is that kid being rude? Is he being cruel? No. No, he's just saying you're so fat. I don't know if the chair can hold you up. So he does that. Trump goes headlong. And that's what you're getting with your Cash Patels and your Smiths and all these guys. They're just leaning. They just realize... They pull open a space for everybody else though, I would argue. When the wave comes, you have to dive through it. If you turn and try to protect

yourself, you just get pummeled and thrown onto the beach. You have to push through it. Yeah, that's the way you do it. So that's the new world order is these guys were exposed, all of them. They've all been exposed now with all the stupid 60 minutes and all the everything and all the stupid reporters. We didn't know what they did. They're all exposed. They torpedoed their own ship. They literally had control of everything.

And when they started to feel it was getting, going through their fingers, like they were losing a little control they basically They did sort of like Like in a relationship if you go geez I feel like this thing is starting to I'm starting to lose this thing Some people and they're out there Double down, you know what I mean? They go harder versus, oh, this is time to check it a little bit and step back a little bit

and bite your tongue a little bit. Some go harder. Like they'll go on the war path. It's called an anxious avoidant attachment style. Right. You can't start the leaving and you feel anxious, you move in. Right, but what they're doing is they're now, now the person's packing their bags.

And so what the media did is they felt themselves losing some of the control, like hey, maybe we're not 100% charged, maybe we're only 68% charged. So they started lying harder and pushing harder, and then it just, they lost all credibility. It's all gone. I think they were hysterical. Yeah, they went stupid stupid what they should have done Probably about five years ago is just go their job. That's what they should have done Yes, they should have peeled it back. Yeah gone tack toward the center start getting some different voices in there Started talking a little bit like I don't know. I'm not a big Kamala Harris fan. I don't I don't know

I mean look, I don't like Trump but Kamala harris let's be honest she doesn't offer anything you know start talking like a normal like a news organization it's reality so anyway let me give can i get my opinion on biden's cancer yeah we need to take a break okay and then you can give me your opinion okay delete me makes it easy quick and safe to remove your personal data online at a time when surveillance and data breaches are common enough to make Everyone uncomfortable.

that with the level of scrutiny medically that a president would have to show up with metastatic disease. Not only that, but they said, oh, we noticed a nodule. Oh, lo and behold, metastatic, no, no, no, no, that didn't happen. Show up, let's show up, man.

For somebody to present with metastatic disease, meaning the cancer is outside the prostate gland, outside the pelvis, in the blown, distant metastasis, fatal illness at that point. Yeah, so the fact that if this guy was some rancher who was set in his ways and finally his daughter came in from the city and dragged him in to see the Doctor no problem that right, but this is him

With his personal physician sitting in the oval office and now Nicole Sapphire whom I admired immensely has said oh They don't do PSA's over age 75. That's an old notion. That is a little controversial President United States is getting yearly PSA. Well, can I say this? It's like free dental exams. Okay, that's free with the lollipop or something, but he's the president. So doing the like, they don't do X over this or whatever that protocol for the 300 million people is not his protocol. By the way, I'll push back on Nicole, we don't all have a personal physician that lives in our house and in a screening room in the basement. You know what I mean? Things are different.

And they've not released his PSAs. This idea they found a nodule, it just didn't pass the sniff test. You follow the PSAs, it elevates you, you find cancer, you do biopsies, then you treat that cancer, it got away from them. The really interesting thing is the last two years he's deteriorated rather considerably. And one of the things you have to ask yourself is, hmm, did they diagnose metastatic disease two years ago and start him on the treatment for that, which is androgen deprivation therapy. They essentially, they used to actually castrate men in that condition, but that's the first line now is we have these medicines that block testosterone. And the side effect is...

Oh, wait a minute. You had a prostate issue, right? But I had a prostatectomy and radiation. I don't have distant metastasis. Yeah, but you got castrated when you got married. Yeah. So I didn't need to go on there. Oh. Yes, I was already good. That's why my cancer has been so easy to treat. Oh, okay. I was wondering. That's good. Keep going. So, the other room is, this reminds me of the Loveline room over there. You tell a good joke and they have groupers over there. They're not a fan.

They're not fans. It's like castration. Interesting. But, so, the really interesting thing is the antidepressant therapy causes commonly and I mean commonly muscle wasting falls worsening parkinsonian symptoms if you have parkinsonism and cognitive decline That's interesting and and fatigue and cognitive slowing. Well the fatigue I mean the fatigue thing is hard to get around like he was going to his beach house Literally every weekend, which is a weird thing. So is that aging? Is that that dementia? Is it Parkinson's? Is it androgen deprivation therapy? Is it cancer? They're telling us nothing. I know listen

The whole first off the whole, first off, the whole Biden administration, it's all lies. Well, that's what this reminds us of. But here's the thing, here's the thing. Whatever your rights are as a citizen, when it comes to medical records, has to be waived once you enter the people's house. Totally agree. You've entered, you're now

running the country. I think senators and maybe even congressmen too, ought to be saying. Yes, I mean, we have a person who's in charge of the country who's having deep cognitive issues who won't take a test. And they go, he doesn't have to take a test and it's none of your business. Like, none of your business? What do you mean none of everyone's business who's in the country is running? What do you mean? Pilot in the plane, man.

Somebody sits in that seat. You have a obligation to ask questions about that guy. And Trump takes a very sophisticated cognitive test every year called the Montreal Cognitive Inventory. And people are like, see, he didn't pass it. Or they don't believe you passed it. He should sit down and take it publicly and just expose everything, just show it all.

Okay, let me say a few things. This thing where they try to equate Trump, it's great. The news headlines are great. We'll find those in my tweet, but it's great. Where they try to lump him in. I mean, this is the lump him in part. I've had it personally happen a lot where people try to lump you in with something. It's like, don't lump. Trump talks a mile a minute all day, every day.

Yes, when you talk a mile a minute, you will, there will be, I don't even know if it's a gaffe. For every 10,000 words you say, you mispronounce one. Correct. But if you're going to say 50,000 words a day, then you're going to mispronounce five. So that's baked in. Yeah. Yeah, AP, verbal gaffe or sign of trouble mixing up names like Biden and Trump, it was just add Trump.

By the way, Drew, I tell you all the time, all the time, people say, well, you know, you got Fox on one side, you got CNN saying that, I got, it's not CNN on the other side, AP is corrupted. This is AP. AP is doing the bidding or was doing the bidding of the Biden administration as well. It's not just, it's not Fox versus CNN. It's Fox versus all the mainstream media. But the one that was the best, the one I liked, the one I was yelling about to you over the phone

was the New York Times one, because the New York Times headline was perfect, and it's all the New York Times does, it's all those intellectual elites, that's all they do, and it's why we got fucked by COVID. Read that, read the whole thing. Memory loss requires careful diagnosis, scientists say. Scientists. Not clinicians either, by the way.

The scientists that lock, that shut your schools? Yeah, same guy. Those same scientists are the ones that made you wear masks that didn't work, or the ones that shut down playgrounds. Which scientists are we talking about? This is what the New York Times is. This is their core.

This is what they do. They hide behind it. First off, use your common sense. Memory loss requires careful diagnosis, scientists say. My sister would go visit with my dad in Altadena when he was 90. And then I talked to her the next week. I go, how's dad doing? She goes, he's not, he can't remember the kid's name. He's having trouble. Yeah. Does she have a, she has an eighth grade education. She's a scientist. She sat next to someone who couldn't remember

a bunch of shit. We're all experts, everyone. Sit next to someone who couldn't remember a bunch of shit. We're all experts, everyone. Sit next to someone who can't remember shit, and then we will report on it. But the experts tell you that scientists say, but keep reading. This is the part I like. A federal investigator said that the President Biden had, quote, poor memory, unquote, and, quote, diminished faculties, unquote, but such a diagnosis, by the way, not a diagnosis, would require close medical assessment, experts say. Yeah, no, no, no. The guy sat in a room with the guy for six hours and he couldn't answer any questions. So we do not need a closer examination expert. So they get...

He's just describing what he saw. He's not giving a clinical evaluation. What's the New York Times do here? They do what they do perfectly. Scientists say at the top, at the bottom, experts said, oh, well, I guess the scientists and experts know that the guy who's interviewing the old guy can't have any assessment. Right, can't possibly know what's going on. Can't possibly.

Because it requires careful assessment. Right, so if you're sitting next to a guy who is shit-faced drunk at a bar stool, you couldn't make an assessment that he was inebriated or we'd have to get an expert. An interesting pushback on this, do you know who determines competency? Judges, non-experts, non-scientists.

They determine it. All right, so what's your, what is the upshot for you? So he has terminal illness, he may have been antigen and deprivation, if what's your, what is the upshot for you? So he has terminal illness. He may have been in deprivation. If he wasn't, he is now. And that'll be interesting to see how that goes. There are some fancier treatments to be done.

I have prostate cancer myself, and as you said, I've had all those treatments done. Things are good with me, but the fact that his was, got away from them like this is, the whole thing is. There's a, we don't know about it. What's causing his Parkinsonism. We don't know about the cognitive. We, there's so many questions that we have a right to know answers to that it's just kind of disgusting.

And to your point, it's all been a lie. And it's time for that. That's all I said. They've lied about everything starting with COVID. All right, you can clear the screen, people. By the way, by the way, people always go, Oh, there've been other presidential cover-ups, there have been other ones.

Yes, and they're all disgusting. They're all disgusting. What happened to JFK? Disgusting. What happened to Woodrow Wilson? Disgusting. Should never happen and should never happen again. I'm equal opportunity with presidential cover-ups.

I'm all about it. Fuck those guys. Alright, you want to try taking a phone call? Yes, I do. I do. We got a clock. Well listen, you want me to take a phone call, but you don't you keep the screen with this stuff on it now I got the number in front of the name. So it's gonna it's gonna slow the process clay Yes 50 from Honolulu

Yeah, that's me. Oh, wait a minute. I I never have this pleasure Ever I never have this pleasure ever I never have this pleasure Is your gas more expensive than ours in California? Because you could call everyone in every state and never get that never get an answer that feels good What are you paying per gallon for your gas over there clay? Not five bucks. Yeah, I heard it's less. I heard it was less actually. Why I know. Oh, I thought the only place it was more was hawaii That was for a minute. I think it went back down because our our our we're closing down all the refineries I know but they have to ship it. Uh, yeah, that shows how fucked up it is here. All right now daffney. You gotta look average price

Honolulu average price california. All right, go ahead clay clay Yeah, so i've got three daughters, twins that are 10 years old and a 13 year old. And they're going through sports, physicals and such right now. And because of the pandemic and all the bullshit with the vaccines, we have kind of gone full stop to vaccines.

We used to get every one of them. And now we're getting pummeled with the HPV vaccine. And I don't trust it. My wife doesn't trust it. And I know Dr. Drew that you're a big proponent of it. And I want you to talk me into it. Well, I don't want to talk you into it. Did you see Joe Rogan stand up on Netflix where he goes,

I thought vaccines were the greatest things. Now maybe they were at his flat, maybe Michelle Obama, whatever. So I am reassessing everything. One of the things I have discovered about this vaccine that I was surprised to discover is it's not quite as good against cancer as we thought it was. So there's less benefit. The risks are nominal. They really are nominal. You want to take it around the age of your kids for optimal effect, but there's no problem waiting till later or letting them make their own decision.

It's not quite as powerful then, but so what? It's still a reasonable thing. I think generally waiting as long as possible on all the vaccines is sort of the way to go. Be careful with meningitis. You want that vaccine when they go to college. You may want hemophilus also. There's certain things that really are serious illnesses that you can dramatically reduce the risk of living around students in dorms. And the risk of those vaccines are really quite low. But this one, I'm not as

enthusiastic as I used to be. Oh, really? I just put it that way. I'm a fan of it. I'm a fan. I think you should take it. If you want to talk to them about when and how and that kind of thing, I certainly wouldn't object. Look, in general, I have shifted my entire philosophy of medicine to putting care into

the hands of the patient and the family. That's who should be making decisions. I'm here to help you make a decision. I'm sure should be collaborative. I should be just here to kind of, you've got Grok, you can look it up yourself. There's lots of information out there. Look into it. And then if you want to ask me specifics, I'm delighted to be a part of it. I would take it. My kids took it. If I were single, no matter what age I was, I would take it. But beyond that, that's you and your kids. You guys make the decision.

All right. I got a Honolulu price. Now there is something, Drew, I must say. It's a sidebar that I'm unsuccessful at and I always have been unsuccessful at. It says on my screen, the current average price of regular unleaded gasoline in Honolulu is four point four one one per gallon with premium gasoline averaging four point nine four nine per gallon and then it says California is around

Four eight nine five per gallon and then we run out of screen. Now what I can't do is get people to write less, but I beg them and I beg them and I beg them to write less, but they can't do it. Well, tell us, what are we reading? I don't first off, you're right. California is 44 Hawaii is four nine. But first off, it's the current average regular. Also, it's just regular. The premium is, we're just, all right. But also, we do, I run out of tax. But no matter how much I beg, all around me,

I'm really just going, do less. Just write the beat. Daphne's just hoping you asked her to speak on the mic. This isn't Daphne. This isn't Daphne, but I. No, to speak on the mic. This isn't Daphne. This isn't Daphne, but I. No, I think they're copying and pasting whatever they find in Google.

Oh, it's the copy and paste problem. So instead of just typing the numbers. I love it. All right, but you can just write California four four and Hawaii four eight, and so we'll go. It's a little bit more. If you put me on it, it won't happen. Is that it, four four and four eight?

Yes, well it's really four bit more. If you put me on it, it won't happen. Is that it, 44 and 48? Yes, well it's really 44 and 49, essentially, because it's 4895. I didn't know there were that many digits. But the point is, it's more in California now. Historically, it was more in Hawaii. Oh, of course, because you're shipping stuff. We have a crazy tax on our gas, and we are eliminating all refinery of oil here. So you're shipping stuff. We have a crazy tax on our gas, and

we are eliminating all refinery of oil here. So we're shipping it too. Crazy. Awesome. Oh my God. All right. Oh, mid-grade. I don't care what... No, no, no. I don't want mid-grade. I don't care. And by the way... Does anybody buy mid-grade? I have the word un-let it in there. Un Unlighted in California, that's 47 years old. All right, again, doing shows all over the place.
