Recorded live at Corolla One Studios with Adam Corolla and board certified physician and addiction medicine specialist Dr. Drew Pinsky.
You're listening to the Adam and Dr. Drew Show.
Yeah, get it on, got to get on the church. 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, 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, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,. All right, stop, I got stuff.
You got stuff?
Let's do it.
I've been telling you there's two things
that are sort of scary and ominous to me in this nation.
And it's all the sort of race talk
and it's all the we need women
and we need to push women into these positions,
and we'll have women.
And the more women we have in positions of power,
then we'll have a better society.
And then we'll also, if we can get women of color in charge,
and we can have a utopian society,
I've seen zero signs of that thus far.
Now I'm not crunching numbers or looking at data,
but just from my observations,
which are always 100% right,
I've not seen one piece of evidence that goes,
the more women of color, yeah, okay,
Chicago has had women of color,
LA has a woman of color mayor,
I don't think anything's better because of that.
Now, you can be a woman and you can be of color,
or you can be a male of color, or you can be a gay male.
You can be anything you want,
but I just need you to be effective.
Well, I was gonna say, you know what's awful about this?
If Rick Caruso sucked the occasional cock,
I would be completely fine with him,
but Karen Bass is a woman of color and incompetent,
but I also wonder about this, Drew.
If you take, if we're factoring in you being a woman
and you being a woman of color
and shoving you to the front of the line,
then maybe we're gonna get worse results
than if we just flipped a coin,
which is what we're seeing now.
It certainly doesn't improve the perception
and plight of women of color in authority.
No, you're hurting the case.
Kamala Harris set the colored woman movement back 40 years
by being incompetent, in line.
So she didn't help, she hurt.
It's basically like going, it's 1973,
is the NFL ready for a black quarterback?
Okay, Denver's gonna start a black quarterback,
he goes 0-8 and they pull him.
That just means the next black quarterback's
gonna have to wait an extra five years
before he gets on the field.
Because you hurt the process when you push
incompetent people to the front of the line.
I told you when Biden said it's going to be a woman, it's going to be a woman of color,
said that is a huge mistake. Why isn't everyone screaming about this? This is insane. We're
talking about a super important position, especially with a guy who's teetering physically.
This could be a person who's running the country. Do not do this. And nobody said a fucking
word about it. Nobody said a word about it.
Tell me this about Trump.
You spend more time with him than I have.
That he seems uncannily good at picking people for certain positions that I wouldn't imagine
would do well in those positions.
And yet, and it's just sort of, some of you could argue that it's maybe not as good as
it could be, or maybe there's somebody better, but it's sort of kind of an uncanny quality
to some of
the choices he makes, but they work out. Yeah. Let me explain.
Let me just say one thing. Linda McMahon to me is the example of sort of the middle zone,
right? Where it's like, oh, she's been a governor. You could tell her confidence. He's like, crazy,
just talked to her for three minutes. Okay, her good Pete Hegseth great guy great warrior
I I wouldn't know well, it's working. Okay. Anyway, you tell me
Okay
Donald Trump. I
Do not think people fully
Understand or can sort of wrap their mind around this
Okay, Donald Trump is a builder. a builder and he builds on a big scale.
There are guys who do residential remods.
And those guys think in a very linear,
practical, gravity-laden way.
It's nuts and bolts.
And I like that kind of thinking.
But the guys that are building amusement parks
and bridges and 40 story buildings,
those guys really have that sort of linear,
pragmatic brain that I love.
Now, Rick Caruso has that.
And that's why Rick Caruso's place in the Palisades
didn't burn down when everything else burned down
because he realized that the LA fire department
and the mayor was incompetent
and the governor was incompetent.
So he said, you know what,
I'm gonna have my own fire department
and his shit didn't burn.
Okay, quiet, that's the brain you want.
Now what Trump does when you are a builder,
all right, what's Trump doing
when he's doing a huge commercial project?
Laying drywall, you know stacking cinder block, pouring foundation, tying up rebar. No, no, no. He's doing none of the above
He walks that job site three times a week with a chrome hardhat on in a three-piece suit And he walks it and he goes up to the top and he walks around he
meets with
subs, subcontractors. His entire business is subcontracting. It's not him. He
doesn't build anything. It's all subs. It's the steel guy. It's the concrete guy.
It's the caisson guy. It's the drywall guy. It's the finish guy. It's the K-San guides, the drywall guides, the finish guides, the cabinet guides, the electricians, the plumbers, the roovers, HVAC, all subs.
Hundreds of subs.

Stream now, pay never. And he goes, this guy's incompetent or this guy shows up late or this guy's behind time
or this guy couldn't make payroll, he's out.
But he probably works with the same subs over and over.
And so he has-
Until he does and then onto the next one.
You have to pick out the people around you
that are doing all the sub work.
So his whole life is I need to surround myself
with great subs.
These appointments are just subs.
They're subcontractors.
There's defense over there, there's education over there,
there's environment over here, there's economy over there.
It's very interesting.
So it's all subs, he's the general, and it's all subs.
And it's kind of the way military operates too, right?
Yeah, it's the way everything,
but now LA doesn't work that way.
They hire a bunch of incompetent broads
and they sit around and fuck the city up
and then they talk about shit and nothing happens
because they don't have any background.
Their background is academics and then they go from the academic world to the system.
Then they just go to the system.
And the system's a lot of meetings and a lot of discussions and a lot of groups and a lot
of stuff, and nothing happens.
And then everything around them just sort of falls apart while they're having meetings
on stuff.
It works in academia.
It doesn't work when you're running a city.
Yeah, or building anything.
No, you can't build.
You can't physically build anything.
But not even physically, just even a business.
Sorry, yeah, I don't mean physically.
I just mean you can't build.
And so when people are like, what's Karen Bass doing?
And how come there's only been four permits they issued
after thousands of structures burned? I think she doesn't know what to know what this is. Why should she? Why
didn't you guys know who she was? Their plan is we're just gonna, we're gonna vote in someone who
makes us feel good about being progressive and voting and nothing's really gonna happen.
And so we'll just have this incompetent chick in there that we'll all feel good about ourselves, being progressive and voting and nothing's really gonna happen and so
we'll just have this incompetent chick in there that we'll all feel good about
ourselves but I don't know what she does and it'll be fine but they didn't count
on a fire. Or they don't count on things going wrong and then you
actually need somebody. Let me expand on your it's interesting the same thing is
true of sort of how they approach defense. Like, what do we need that for until you need it? But it's a really interesting
corollary here, which is you've always talked about how people not using their hands and
being in their cubicles and being with their phone impairs our ability to be in reality,
but it also impairs our ability to vote in our subs.
Oh, yeah. In a way. No, reality. It's all reality.
But our subs, as a citizen, if we're to detach from reality, we don't pick good subs.
No.
You know what I mean?
Of course not. All your decision making is bad.
So I'm just adding on to your recommendation that people go out and use their hands, because
maybe it'll go all the way through to improving our ability to elect good people.
Yeah, yeah.
That will pick better subs.
It will. It'll help you think. And you'll be able to sort out things like COVID when
they come down the pike. You won't just... You won't be so fear-based constantly, because
the people who are hanging out in the cubicles
are all fear-based.
And they're relying on experts all the time, and they don't have their own judgment.
Clinically, I tell you what, clinically, it's, you know, clinical practice of medicine is,
it's getting your hands dirty.
I got news for you.
I may not be as, you know, pragmatically sound as somebody who's actually a carpenter, but
I don't know, it develops at least judgment.
All right, we have that clip of Brandon Johnson who's the mayor. So funny what Chicago did
to itself. They had Lightfoot in there and they didn't like her. So, because the progressive policies ruin the cities.
Now, that's not even a good or bad,
it's just the policies are bad.
You know, like, well, I wish the policies were,
you know, like, okay.
Oh, yeah, absolutely, right?
Well, yes, okay, so what we'll do
is we'll be compassionate toward the homeless.
Yes.
And we'll label ourselves a sanctuary city.
That's all good. I wish it worked. It does not work.
It's very much like polygamy or multiple projects.
So yeah, it's great on par. It sounds wonderful. It does not work.
Humans can't do that.
Right, right. So, but here's him at a,
probably a black church also. So they got rid of Lightfoot.
And I got someone who's more progressive than Lightfoot,
and Chicago's now coming close to done.
They'll have to bring it, try to bring it back.
He has this weird, there's a certain thing,
and I don't get it.
There's a certain
I, there's a certain lack of self-awareness
that a lot of black leaders have where they just get up there
and just talk about black all the time.
As I said, if I got up there
to start talking about it as an Italian,
as Italian, I gotta look out for other Italians,
I would be conscious of it.
And someone would go, stop talking, you know,
there's half, your city's not Italian, stop.
It's highly reinforced. I know it half, your city's not Italian. Stop talking.
It's highly reinforced.
I know it's highly reinforced and white people are scared,
but we don't want you to be the black mayor.
We want you to be the mayor.
Do you know what I'm saying?
But he's gotta be the black mayor.
All right, so Chicago's population has declined
since 2014, nine years of population loss.
What a shock.
Yeah.
You know what I think navigates both those worlds
pretty well is Jerome Adams.
He talks that talk, but also is able to think for himself
and take positions that may not be a pop that popular.
Who's Jerome?
He's the New York City former,
he's the police chief of New York City.
Oh, that guy.
Okay, well put the...
I'm sorry. What percentage of people know Jerome Adams?
Okay, Drew, come on.
Get back.
I'm the tractors that will push back on me and say,
the only thing that the mayor talks about
is the hiring of black people.
No, what I'm saying is when you hire our people,
we always look out for everybody else.
I posit there.
We are the most generous people on the planet.
First off, you're saying race, all right, so you're saying it's not about being blacks,
it's about hiring better people because they're black.
Yeah.
And I think he's saying because they look out for other black people.
I think that's what he's saying.
I don't know.
I don't know what they look out for.
I don't know.
This has not been my experience, but okay.
No, what I'm saying is when you hire our people, we always look out for everybody else. Stop right there. Our people. This is a big problem, Drew. I've been yelling about it. Stop
with the us and the you and the them. Just our people. You know what I'm saying? Stop talking
that way. I gotta say that when I was growing up,
I heard some of this stuff from the Jewish community too.
Very similar stuff, quietly behind closed doors.
And it doesn't work out.
No.
It doesn't.
Well, it does, here's what it does.
You ready?
Yeah.
It does if you wanna implement it.
If you wanna be like the Armenians or the Jews, it'll work.
If you're black people and you're just shooting each other in the streets, then it's not gonna work. It like the Armenians or the Jews, it'll work.
If you're black people are just shooting each other
in the streets, then it's not gonna work.
It didn't work for the Jewish people, I would argue.
I mean, it worked in a certain way.
Check the test scores.
Okay, that kind of stuff worked.
You wanna check the test scores?
Our median income, what do you wanna do?
Versus black?
Okay.
Jews don't shoot each other.
The point is they didn't need to do that part.
No, they didn't, but it worked.
They need to take care of the family,
get education going and all that stuff.
Yeah, yeah, but it worked.
It still worked for them.
I wouldn't argue it didn't work for them.
All right.
Well, anti-Semitism is alive and well,
and I think it has some foundation in that.
No, no, no, no.
That kind of club or a club.
That thinking of club membership is a bad thing.
No, I agree with that.
The anti-Semitism is because they shame everyone by excelling.
But go ahead.
Hiring the black people.
No, what I'm saying is when you hire our people, we always look out for everybody else.
We are the most generous people on the planet.
Hold on. I didn't see a tweet about tipping. It's hard
to argue with but go ahead. We are the most generous people on the
planet. I don't know too many cultures that have play cousins. That's how
generous we are. We just make somebody a family member, right? This is how we are. And so business and economic
neighborhood development, the deputy mayor is a black woman. Department of
Planning and Development is a black woman. Infrastructure, deputy mayor is a
black woman. Chief Operations officer is a black man.
Budget director is a black woman.
Senior advisor is a black man.
And I'm laying that out because when you ask,
how do we ensure that our people get a chance
to grow their business?
Hope he's right.
Do you want, essentially guys obsessed with race
running your city is what I'm saying.
If it worked, I would love it.
Yeah, but it doesn't work.
No, it can't work because as long as you can call
any detractor racist, then it can't work.
Yeah, you also can't, can you fire people
for lack of performance at that point?
I don't, well not as a black man.
So I'm not sure what he's saying.
Is he saying, I put all these black people
in these positions to help black people?
Sort of.
But then what about white people
want to start a job, a business in Chicago?
I don't know.
It's a big, it's a huge mistake.
Basically, people have been scared
and looking the other way on this subject and sort of doing what they did with COVID, which is just
shut up, put the mask on and start walking. I don't want to talk, I don't want to deal with this.
It's a big problem. I've been waving a flag about it for a long time, it's gonna get bigger, it's an issue,
and it doesn't go away unless people,
normal people and folks that aren't black
start speaking up and not being scared to be called racist.
And that's never gonna happen,
because everyone's scared shitless.
It's good for me, because I'm a hero.
So all you've got to do is return to a merit-based system then we're good
Yeah, that would be a but listen they won't I mean we're trying but this is gonna be a problem and look
It's not
Forget about race. Mm-hmm. Let's just say I'm the mayor of
Los Angeles, right?
Okay, I'm the mayor of Los Angeles.
I'm gonna do a little role play, little scenario
that's gonna put it all into perspective.
Right now.
I'm gonna take a break.
All right.
I'm gonna come back as the new mayor of Los Angeles.
All right?
All right.
Okay.
back as the new mayor of Los Angeles. All right? All right. Okay.

you got to look at the numbers. Naturopathic Dr. Dennis Black, that's the creator of Rough Greens
and I've talked to him for quite some time. He tells us that unfortunately 50% of the dogs over 10 that get cancer,
well it's because of their diet and we need to work on the dog's diet. But there
is good news with thousands of testimonials and five star reviews every
month. Rough Greens is now the number one natural dog supplement in America and
you don't have to change your dog's food.
Cause that, you know, let's face it, that's a hassle.
You just use rough greens.
You just sprinkle some rough greens on your dogs,
just a scoop, add it to your dog's existing food,
and you will see the difference immediately.

It's not what you're feeding your dog, it's what you're not.
All right, now as the mayor of Los Angeles, I could tell you right now, I got some priorities.
I wanna get Exposition Boulevard named
into Tommy Lasorda Boulevard, okay?
It was a great Dodger manager, skipper all those years,
legendary guy.
Also, I'm gonna put ahead a bill to try to expand
the parking lot of Dodger Stadium.
I wanna get a little more parking in there.
I'm gonna point to rebuild LA.
I'm gonna go with Rick Monday,
legendary Dodger outfielder.
Steve Yeager, I think, a legendary Dodger catcher.
I'm going to go ahead and appoint him head of sanitation.
Okay? Perfect.
And I'm also gonna go show a bobblehead night
in every school.
I went to schools, I went to have bobblehead showing.
But Tony, bobblehead night.
Okay, Dusty Baker is going to be head of education
here in Los Angeles. I get it. Dusty Baker is going to be head of education
here in Los Angeles. And hold on, where's my Dodger ball cap?
Let me put that on.
Get Ron Sey.
Okay, Ron Sey, the penguin.
I'll put the penguin in charge of the city council.
Oh, that may be some healthcare position
for a svelte guy like that.
I'll have Davy Lopes.
I'm with Davy Lopes in charge of the homeless crisis.
Okay, how would this go?
I'm obsessed with the Dodgers.
I love the Dodgers.
I'm just gonna vote in people and appoint people
who are former Dodgers who are loved the Dodgers.
Now you would look at that and you go,
what the fuck, how's that gonna work?
Mayor.
I love the Dodgers.
They're the most generous, honest people
I know, those Dodgers.
And that's it.
And by the way, no giants, no former giants.
I don't care how qualified you are,
you are not running anything in this town
because I love the Dodgers.
We hate the Giants.
Okay, how well would that city run?
Like shit would be the answer
because you want the most qualified people and by the way
Once I get Rick Monday in there
He's gonna be able to help other Dodger fans, right? Dodger fans. Yes, not giant fans, right?
Right, you better wear that Dodger hat and he'll help you. Okay. So there you go. That's my thought
Is it gonna work? No, Is it a retarded idea? Yes.
Okay. Because we need the best Boston fans, Giants fans, whatever fans,
twins, Expos, all the best need to have those jobs in those positions. Not just the ones
who have the Dodger blue. And this is what this idiot does.
And that's why his city turns into a piece of shit.
And eventually the people that keep the lights on,
they leave.
The taxpayers.
Well, I don't know.
I mean, they don't sound wanted.
You know what I mean?
Right.
That's the way California is treating them.
That's why they leave.
Right, right.
They're not wanted.
You run a business in San Francisco, you're a white they leave. Right, right. They're not wanted. You run a business in San Francisco,
you're a white guy, you're heterosexual,
you're not wanted there.
So they leave.
And then everything falls apart.
By the way,
2024 is the lowest population point in Chicago since 1920.
Wow. It's crazy, right? And falling. That's the other thing. 2024 is the lowest population point in Chicago since 1920.
Wow. It's crazy, right?
And falling, that's the other thing.
Yeah, it's gonna go below.
But he is gonna stay the course.
Now the question, and I don't know why we have to do
the dance of the tards every time,
are the people of Chicago gonna wake up and go,
nah, no more of this.
We're gonna vote in Giuliani and fix this shit.
And then we'll get bored of that after a while
and then we'll go back to shit show again.
That's a weird process.
I don't really get the process.
Their process doesn't work.
By the way, it's not even a Democrat Republican thing.
I'd be all for it if the schools worked and the police and the whole thing.
It's not a race thing either. If they get the right people, then fine.
Right. It's all good, but it's not. It doesn't work. Their concepts are flawed.
And the thing about the flawed concepts is they only work with dingbat chicks
and dudes from academia because everything is a concept there's no practice
there's no practical application. I'm reading a great book called Cynical Theories if you want
to write a great book about how we got into this mess from a theory standpoint and how academia did
this, Cynical Theory it's very good, Cynical Theories. Cynical Theories, where do we get that?
Amazon anywhere Amazon yeah I was thinking about trying to get it for you as an audiobook.
I'm not sure if it's out there as such, but it really explains the process, you know, the
intellectual process that resulted in the one of the avenues that resulted in this mess. There were many many avenues
simultaneously. We had, you know, foreign enemies in here
fanning the flames of what these guys describe in the
cynical theory book.
Bill Morak recommended that book to me.
It was good.
We're going to get the second time again.
It's dangerous.
These think tanks, these people who intellectualize things, they have to get boots on the ground.
They've got to go down there.
They don't care about reality.
Reality begs no issue.
In fact, the whole concept- It's the weirdest concept. Do you know where it all comes down to? It's like the ground. They got to go down there. They don't care about reality reality bigs no issue the fact They the whole concept like it's a weirdest kind. You know where it all comes down to it's like the border
Put a fence up stop people coming in why fence doesn't do anything
right
Really because every secured building in America has a fence around it including your community you live in
What do you mean if fence doesn't do any every golf course is of?
or community you live in. What do you mean a fence isn't doing it?
Every golf course is a,
every airport has a fence around it.
You wanna know why airports have a fence around them
so folks can't wander in
and shoot a bazooka in the side of an airplane.
That's-
Run over by something, who knows?
Right.
Yeah.
Oh yeah, no, no, fences work, they work.
Every movie studio, every airport.
Hey, I love when the Vatican,
the Pope starts talking about it.
You see the walls of the Vatican,
they're five stories high.
I do love it.
I love the hypocrisy of it.
Hey, speaking of sports,
I wanted to get your opinion on Bill Belichick
and his young lady, Jordan Hudson, her name is.
Oh.
50 year age gap, essentially, 49 year age gap.
Everyone's like, oh, good on you, Bill.
I would worry about the young lady.
You would? Yeah.
What would you worry?
Well, that either her motivation to be with this guy
are sort of, mm-mm, not exactly what you call romantic.
And or that there's really something psychologically
going on here that he is essentially exploiting
by kind of carrying on with this woman.
I don't know, it just doesn't feel right.
They can do whatever they want, I don't judge them,
but it just doesn't look healthy to me.
Well, I don't know, let's try to break down the game film
like Belchick would do. We used to talk about this, I think't know. I mean, let's try to break down the game film like Belchick would do.
We used to talk about this. I think we used to talk about this when we were like in our
40s and we'd go, yeah, if somebody was interested in me who was in their 20s, I would think,
what's wrong with that girl? Something's wrong with her. I don't want to take advantage of
that. I remember that conversation myself.
Well, look, people traditionally want different things
out of a relationship.
And I don't think that's wrong, I think that's nature.
And I'm fine with it in the animal kingdom
and I'm fine with it in the human kingdom.
And we try to kind of erase that lately
where the woman works and the guy works
and everyone works and nobody cooks
and we just get takeout
and we sort of live this weird bi-mutual life
or something where we're both kind of the same person
and we cross our legs the same way
like fucking Trudeau does and we wear colorful socks
and we just sit and watch Netflix all day, right?
But the guy's not a lumberjack.
You know, in the past, the guy was out, he was a lumberjack,
she was home, taking care of the homestead,
milking and farming and cooking.
And so there was this big chasm.
Now they both end up in the same air conditioned
office building in the same shitty cubicle
and essentially do the same thing.
Okay?
Okay.
So, I like the here's what you provide and here's what you provide.
I love that part of life.
I love that thing I used to say all the time.
So you provide the hot chick and I provide the money.
Yeah, we're putting, no, but you go,
every one of those movies, those caper movies,
every caper movie's like,
okay, we're getting the gang back together.
No one ever goes, okay, here's what we need.
We need a wheel man, and then we need another wheel man,
and then we need a third wheel man.
They go, no, we need a wheel man,
we need a second story man, we need a safe cracker,
we need a knife thrower, right?
Okay, either put stuff on screen
or don't put stuff on screen.
All right, it's funny.
It's Bill Belichick from 2000.
It shows an infant, as you can describe things, Deutra.
It's probably her.
It's probably actually a picture of her in 2000.
I'm sure it is, she's an infant and he's a middle-aged man.
All right, don't put any more pictures up.
All right, I like the roles.
Now he's gonna provide something,
she's gonna provide something.
Yeah, yeah.
And I don't really care how they delineate that
or break it down or whatever it is
that's good for you or whatever.
Yeah.
But I'm fine.
I'm fine with it. I get that, but at a certain point it becomes exploitative of one another.
Well, people kind of go, well, why is she really, you know, well, she's in it because maybe she wants
that life. No, I get it. And I wouldn't judge her for that, except to say that a relationship that
is so based on that kind of transaction exclusively, because
that's the part that gets us, is the extreme margins where we're going, you're not getting
anything else out of this, are you?
You say you are.
It reminds me of Anna Nicole Smith with her 95-year-old lover, who's the greatest guy
in the world.
No, honey, I don't buy it.
Well, obviously when you get to a certain place.
Yeah, the extremes are where you're at.
Right, but Belichick seems active and able,
you know what I mean?
Yes.
Now, she doesn't know who Russ Francis is.
Right.
You know who Russ is? No.
The greatest tight ends never play.
Must have played for the Patriots.
Well not under Belichick.
He's a legend.
It had to be 77, so who?
Russ Francis.
I know a lot of players from the 70s.
You find a prime picture of Russ Francis.
He was the best tight end in the league for five years.
I gotta say, you know what's interesting?
Russ Francis looked like a lumberjack.
Like he was back when dudes,
now guys look like athletes now,
they used to look like lumberjacks.
Was that guy Ben, oh,
he was an offensive lineman for the years?
No, he was, you're thinking of defensive lineman.
Was he a defensive lineman?
Oh, please.
All right, this is okay of Russ Francis,
but there's even a more Russ Francis picture.
Russ Francis, that's a name.
That's a dude.
Matusak.
Matusak, all right.
You're thinking of Ben Johnson.
Yeah, Ben Johnson was there.
You thought he was an offensive lineman?
I thought he was an offensive lineman.
Who'd he play for?
The Raiders.
Well at least I knew that.
All right.
He was tall and kind of lanky.
Really?
Well I don't mean lanky by NFL standards.
He wasn't offensive lineman size.
He was defensive end size.
You know what I mean?
Little trimmer.
All right, we have a Dunkin' Donuts commercial. They did, wow, we have a Dunkin'-
Yeah, Belichick and his lady friend.
Listen, I don't expend a lot of capital
on these kind of stories,
because A, I don't care.
Yeah, I don't care either.
B, they're not part of the problem.
No.
And C, I sorta get it, you know?
Okay, I see what you're saying.
They want, and by the way, that's called society and life.
All right, here's the commercial, sir.
The Dunkin' Donuts commercial.
Capitalist society.
Yeah.
Welcome to Java Jam, Battle of the Coffee Brand Bands.
My favorite Dunkin'.
This ain't the Dunkin''s.
Where the hell are Matt and Tom?
Forget them suckers.
Matt Damon and Tom Brady don't have the heart of a champion.
We got a new squad, Dunkin''s sequel.
Afflecks and Belichick.
Dunking's!
Oh, there they are.
One more spirit on the charge next time.
We got a fourth Dunking too coming.
Oh my God.
Hey man.
Is that coffee?
What are you doing in there?
I'm just trying to find the character.
We got to battle the barista buds.
Wait, hold on a second.
I don't know who the other, who's the other guy?
The guy in the coffee bat, Vad?
Or the other guy here?
Oh, it's, God, he said who.
Oh, it's his brother.
That's his brother.
Oh, it's his brother.
Okay, why is he six inches taller than his brother?
You also have to realize that when there's actors,
like I always wanna tell people who make commercials,
when you have guys that aren't traditionally known as being bearded guys
Mm-hmm, and you put sunglasses and a hat on them and then they grow beard
You don't get instant recognition of that for sure. You know what I mean?
Yes, I don't so you have to take the hat off or take the glass off. You have to give you have to help us. I by the way find a little bit frustrating and tedious. I'm trying I can't follow it
That's other thing too. Is they try to stuff a little too much in yes, but who's the guy? Oh Jeremy strong from
What's the word I'm a succession I guess I. I guess. I don't know who he is.
He played the oldest song in Succession.
Alright, here we go.
And he's known for this extreme sort of approach to his acting.
Where he gets into the character.
See, this is the problem in life.
There's so many different shows and so many different characters that I no longer can get all the references.
But here we go.
Dunking!
About to get roasted!
Like a dark seasonal roast with coriander and slight balsamic.
We supposed to have here?
Sounds like what's in my garbage disposal.
See you coach.
How much to wait a half hour to get my name spelled wrong in the cup?
Nobody wants a goat milk, double half calf, soy milk, cap.
You can just brew it, it's beans in water.
Oh damn.
This is Dunkin's for all of you.
America runs on Dunkin. I've never had a Dunkin' donut or coffee in a Dunkin's for all of you. America runs on Dunkin'.
I've never had a Dunkin' Donut or coffee in a Dunkin' Donut.
Also, I believe I'm seeing Wahlbergs in there at the end.
Is that what I'm seeing?
I don't know.
Again, it's hard to track what they're up to.
Wahlberg is it?
Yeah.
Now, they do stuff.
See, here's the whole thing about commercials.
At least.
The whole thing about commercials
is the whole thing about everything.
The whole thing about everything, okay, go.
Tell me the whole thing about everything.
There's a wall break there.
Everybody, I run into this whenever I try to do comedy
and in comedy.
We know the joke, but they leave the front,
the setup off and then they do the joke and then I. We know the joke, but they leave the front, the setup off,
and then they do the joke,
and then I have to always tell editors,
we know that they don't know,
if I've never seen this, I don't know what this is.
By the way, that's-
You know what it is.
That is a weird thing.
I listen.
It's a note you have to give me every day.
People have stuff in their head.
Yes, and they graft it on to stuff.
It's hard.
It requires awareness.
It's evidently impossible.
So when you write the script and you do the script
and you read the script and you work the script over and over,
you go, oh, the Wahlberg and then this guy pops,
you know this guy from Succession, that guy.
No, no, not when you show them for two tenths of a second
in a context that we're not used to.
Yep.
And even maybe with the references,
you still might not get it. Yes. All right. Go to Amc used to. Yep. And even maybe with the references, you still might not get it.
Yes.
All right.
