You're listening to The Adam and Dr. Drew. show. Yeah, get it on. Got to get on. Get on. That's 4, 45, 7, 4 to 5, 8 essential vitamins, y'all. Yeah, buddy. Good, man. You know, last time we were talking about young people being inspired to work and work hard and stuff

and what that engine is like, you know, when you're biologically uptuned, as you said, tuned up. But my son had an interesting observation. He was at Disneyland a couple days ago. And he said, you know, they were there and noticed that there's a lot of parents with infants. Like there were not toddler age or even sort of child age, but all of a sudden parents with sort of kids that were not ambulatory or at least in stroller kind of thing. And his assessment was that this was because the parents wanted to go to Disneyland and not the children. And my question is, which is interesting, because of course the kids aren't really experiencing very much, but my take was, no, no, no, maybe it's a good thing. Maybe we're going to see that the birth rate is actually going up and people are just in a hurry to get to Disneyland with these kids they've just had. And that's why you're, because Orange County, lots of young people with kids all of a sudden.

And if it is at least a local phenomenon, I'm just wondering if there's a turn happen. and people being willing to reproduce? I don't know, and I don't care anymore. Why? Because I've been telling people what works and what doesn't work and how to do it for 30 years, and no one gives a fuck, so I'm done with all you. Do what you want.

I don't care. Tired of sharing my wisdom with everyone who won't listen. It's funny, I've been thinking about this lately in you. which is you I was so proud of myself for following your direction and exceeding your expectations with the stand-up thing but now I'm finding out I dashed your expectations no no you went I mean you did 10 minutes which was a long time but it's better than two minutes and okay fair enough um but that you do live in a world where people don't understand understand the spirit in which you're making recommendations and disappoint you all the time.

But that's been going on for years. Why are you suddenly unable to tolerate this? I've hit my saturation level. Why now? What happened? I'm just done. I'm done trying to tell how to how to do everything. And also realize nobody listens and nobody cares. I listened. I did it. I did it. I heard you. You're one of the good ones. You're one of the good ones. And it's why it's actually, I think it's why I gravitate and I'm so attracted to the mechanical because it's the last place I can be correct because I'm mechanically correct and they can't argue with everything because it's a physical outcome. You know what I mean?

So I was like I was over the moon this last weekend because I took the merch bag where the handle was falling off. I just I fixed it. I took it. I fixed it the night before we went on the road had 50 pounds worth of books in it and I just

went down in the garage and I just fucking assessed it and I just fixed it. I don't have all the tools in my disposal in Malibu and I don't have materials in my disposal in Malibu so I had to kind of really rig it in a way but

problem solving but I fixed it and we dragged that thing that thing got dragged through L.A.X then through Newark then to the club and then back to you know to the hotel and then on the train and then off to Potsdown

and then through Pots Town and then back to like Fort Lauderdale Like that thing just got dragged all over God in creation and that handle worked like a charm. And I'm sure your girlfriend noticed it and the guys you were traveling with thanks you for this and have marveled at your ability to solve problems mechanic. I'm sure everybody ready. Well, because I brought it up 26 times. But it fucking worked.

And I'm telling you every time it was 50 pounds worth of books and a big thing. And every time someone grabbed the handle. and sort of threw it in the back of the SUV and that thing didn't budge. I was like, yes, I felt better. But I woke up this morning to like a thunderous rain and wind and wind and rain and blustery conditions. And then started hearing an unsettling sound

coming from my front window, big sound, bad sound. Not sounds that I knew were real problematic. And these two big sheets of glass kind of come together at a 45 degree angle and there's a bead of silicone and it gave way. And now all of a sudden wind is flexing the glass back and whistling through the place and the rain is blasting through. And these are two huge sheets of glass that are flexing and banging back and forth because the, where the seam is the silicone is gone. So it's just glass on glass.

And it's making a horrible sound. But it's also unnerving. Because if that thing shatters, it's just going to be wind and rain blowing in. It's bigger than a sheet of plywood. Like I literally, I don't know what you do at that point. You couldn't really put up a sheet of plastic

or anything. It would blow away. And it would cost $10,000. So it was an issue. It was an issue. And I had to get up and I had to get out this morning and I had to do this with you. So I sort of looked at it for a while and I just heard this noise and the noise was just bad. You know, like there's noises that cars make where you go, all right, we can drive to the next exit with that noise.

And then their noises are like, oh, we got to pull over. And this was a serious noise from a guy who's heard all the noises. so I went and looked at it was it was flapping around you know flexing a lot and so I like I looked at it and I also looked at it as like well I only got about 40 minutes here because I got to get my shit together can't make Dr. Drew can't make his highness Lord Fauntleroy Drew can't make him wait so who I uh but seriously in my world I was like this is a pressing problem it's blustery, it's raining hard, water's coming in, this thing's flexing. But in my world, that also has nothing to do with Drew. Drew's still going to be doing what Drew's doing,

and Drew has his own schedule. And while Drew may care about my schedule, I'm not going to fuck him up. So I got 40 minutes to fix this thing. Yeah. So I just kind of looked at it for a minute, and I went, all right, what are we doing here? Because I can't get to the outside of this window. It's on the second story. There's no scaffolding. I got to figure out a way to fix this, like now, but safely, but whatever. So first thing I did is just I got a strip of that clear three inch wide, four inch wide packing tape. That stuff's pretty indestructible when you wrap.

That stuff sticks to glass like a mother, you know, but the surface is wet, you know. And it's flapping around and plus, I'm scared it's going to, right? So my first move was like, I got to lock this thing down temporarily, at least. So I get about a four-foot piece of this stuff. I wipe it down. I dried as much as I can dry the glass. And I put this four-foot piece sort of clumsily on there just to stop it from rattling and smacking itself. And that'll hold it for a minute.

Then I go down the garage and I find some 100% clear silicone. And I'm like, okay, silicone will be good. and silicone will work, but I don't know how well. It'd be better if I could get to the outside, but I can't get to the outside. I'm on the inside, but the thing's flexing enough that I can shove it in the crack. Anyway, the thing's clogged. I ream it out. I cut off the end.

The silicone tube's three years old, you know, figure it out, loosen up, whatever. Get it flowing. You know, get to the top, run a bead down to where the tape was, the temp tape was. and then I start pulling the tape off and running the bead behind it, then run the bead, the whole height, nine foot, and then take two pieces crosswise tape and put it in the middle over the silicone to act as like a clamp and out the lock. When I was done, it was good.

No guarantees. It's going to have to be fixed permanently. But the point is, is I can do shit. And it must be nice. it must be nice i'm jealous i'm jealous of me too no what i'm saying is the last time i was there i went down that night

literally i was leaving in the following morning what i did last night or then last night i was in malibu's i fixed the handle then i got home at 11 o'clock at night and the first i did the next morning is fix the glass they're both totally different things and i have no experience neither one of them except for I can fix shit. And when you can fix stuff, you get good, you know, like I was like, this is clear tape, this 100% silicone. That's what this is going to take.

It's not going to be duct tape. Duck tape is cloth. It's going to get wet. It's going to get soggy. It's going to fucking peel off. It's not going to work. Interesting. Sorry.

I would not know that. That's right. Because you don't fix stuff. You're reminding me that I'd forgotten to tell you since we were last were together. I went and did a television production downtown sort of by city hall like more towards the jewelry district there and I'm telling this production team

I go this is a shittipa town this is like come on I need somebody to kind of meet me and where am I supposed to park my car this is not going to be good oh no no secure a lot right next to the building we'll take care of the fee for the lot don't you worry about a thing somebody will be there blah blah blah i'm like i'm i'm not comfortable i'm not good this is not you guys

don't understand how shitty things are in los angeles all right so i go in at like nine o'clock in the morning do the production get out at about 815 oh 915 uh passenger winter's completely blown out car is ransacked uh there's glass everywhere including down into the dashboard now the effing dashboard needs to be pulled out ah glass out of the air conditions vents. It's unbelievable. And that's L.A., everybody. Yeah. I guess it was too easy to break my window.

That was the, wouldn't that what the city council would say? Well, yeah, or to steal your catalytic converter. Maybe they took that to it. Toyota may get super easy that this part that's worth as much as a laptop to make it super duper easy to steal by welding it in the exhaust system. Well, I also told you the story yesterday about the woman that has worked for us all these years that got sick turned out susan was being nice and took her purse and that purse was in the car not and i didn't know it that's that's thus the ransacking

now why didn't you know it it was it was not the car i drive every day it didn't occur me to kind of look around or if i if it did look around i didn't see it i i don't know i just it just it seems a little weird to me that i didn't why didn't susan tell you or didn't she know you're going to take that car she knew she didn't know it's going to be in such a shitty part of the town and i think it was on the floor behind my my uh seat so i just didn't yeah most uh i find that most stuff sort of comes down to just a little thing here and a little thing there you know you were supposed you were taking the car you didn't normally take you didn't know what was in the back of the car that's right a la blah blah blah blah

blah, boom, busted window, dash off, purse gone. Yes, that's how, that's how it works. But still, though, you know, it wasn't like I didn't make a lot of noise about anticipating something like that. Yeah. It's just I didn't, what I didn't anticipate as being a good target for that kind of shit. I didn't imagine. That's kind of why I took that car. Right.

Because I thought, oh, no one will break into this thing. It's whatever. What's insurance do? It took care of the whole thing. USAA is un-effing believable. But you have a deductible, don't you? Yeah, it's a $1,000 deductible, $7,000 job. All right.

Oh, well, okay, but you're out of grand. Yeah. Sorry for rubbing that in, but most people bring that up. So, had to take the dash out, had to take the seats out, everything. It's so fucking bad. Oh, God. everything and then and then the the because all the glass went down into the window they blew out every inch of the of the glass side the side the passenger passenger yeah in the

door down into the door so now the motor has to be replaced on the window also in addition replaced the window and everything else I mean you're at the dealer right yeah yeah I mean I could pull that door panel off and blow out that motor and put it back probably i i don't know how much you know they're you know they're they're doing it right but but maybe doing a little more than uh than as necessary you know but god god bless them uh true remember when you used to buy car tires at the dealership yes i do i remember i used to yell at you yeah oh yeah so i stop doing that so you listen right and they're much cheaper when you just go to tire rack or whatever, right?

This October, fear is free on Pluto TV with horror movie collections from paranormal activity, The Ring. You will die in seven days. scream. And from dusk till dawn. This is my kind of place. And don't miss the man-made nightmares in Mary Shelley's Frankenstein or the world ending chaos in 28 days later.

There's something in the blood. All the scares, all for free. Pluto TV, stream now, pay never. All right, Drew, what else do you got? So we have a new world in the Middle East, it seems, for the moment. And my question is, people that were out, like, say, here in New York, carrying the Palestinian flag around, get out of Palestine, Israel out of Palestine. Mission accomplished. You guys okay? I mean, you demonstrated with a purpose, Israel out of Palestine. That's good.

I like what demonstration is that purpose. Mission accomplished. Right. Are you happy now? No. No. Listen, Drew, I don't know how many times I've got to explain to everyone. It's a grievance culture. It's not a end result, bottom. Lines culture, it's a grievance culture. Those are LGBT, whatever, it's a grievance culture. It's not a, we want gay marriage. Yes, okay, here's gay marriage. Well, now we're going.

We're going to keep going. It's a grievance culture. Yeah. Because any time there's, any time you, any time there's a thing where you kind of go, I always get back to the million woman march, you know what I mean? Yes. And you're like, I literally said, talk to people that have attended and what do you want? and we want justice and it's like oh it's a grievance culture you have no idea what the fuck you want

you don't want anything so so there's a plan i think next week or something for a no king's demonstration yes and i thought oh perfect we're going to go from a specific recommendation demonstration of the particular ends in mind i think that's this week by the way what is it i think it's this weekend we can look it up i thought somewhere but we're back to these sort of vague grievances. Yeah, yeah. It's back to grievances. Yeah, yeah. It's grievance. No kings. Okay, no kings. By the way, you know what I've said a million times, Drew? Yeah. If there was a king of Los Angeles and the king was like, I decree no more graffiti and I decree no more garbage and I decree we're going to clean up the homeless and I decree no more illegal sales on the

streets of food. I'd go, okay, good, king away. King be king all day. All fucking day be king if you're doing good shit. That's the sort of weird thing that's happening now, which is that anyone who governs is called a king, an authoritarian. So if you govern, I mean, like, let's look at the federal buildings being protected by federal forces, right? Give me the day, Andrew, sorry. What's that?

I got the date. I'm looking for the day. Sorry. Saturday. Yeah, it's this Saturday. Okay. President of the United States makes a solemn pledge, an oath to protect federal properties, wherever they may be. It's what Abraham Lincoln did to Fort Sumter that triggered the Civil War, but he had to do it.

He just said, look, I got to reprovision this place. I have an obligation. I swore an oath to protect the federal forts and properties. I have to do it and then got fired upon. I don't understand why people don't understand that. That's kind of confusing to me. They don't want to understand lots of stuff, you know? So I don't, it's not they don't understand.

It's just they don't want to understand or they don't care to understand. They have a grievance, Drew. It's grievance culture. And it's the, it's the funniest thing. And these guys get out there. they just go, oh, these federal troops marching, unmarked cars, wearing face coverings, disappearing people, snatching them off the street, sending them to gulags. I don't know what you.

It's a weird, I would be disappointed. I would be very, very disappointed if when I was, you know, when you were doing stand-up at the club and we did our live show at the club and stuff. If I said, I'm going to go downstairs and use the bathroom, if you then leaned over to Andrew and said, do you think Adam believes half the shit he talks about? And Andrew would go, I don't know. I don't know what he believes.

But is he just lying? I don't. Maybe. I don't know. But does he believe this shit? I don't know. I don't think so. Maybe.

Or maybe. You think he's just saying it could be popular? Yeah, probably. Oh, he's back from the bathroom now. All right, be quiet. We'll get to Césideas. Okay, I would be devastated if every third thing like you do with Gavin Newsom or whoever's go, does he fucking believe any of this shit?

What's he talking about? I don't know. He can't believe. He knows the answer. Oh, so he's just lying like all the time? Yeah, I guess he's just lying. Like, I don't know. it'd be a weird, I would be very uncomfortable with that mantle of, you know, Adam talks and talks and talks, but he doesn't really believe anything he says.

Yes. Yes, that would be not, that would be miserable. It would be very uncomfortable to me. I don't know what, you know, when Tim Walls talks about snatching people up and sending them to labor camps in Honduras, American citizens and stuff, and you go, he does he believe any of that? He's seen it? No, he's just lying in front of large groups of people. Yeah. Oh, all right.

I would be uncomfortable with that. Or, I mean, it's funny. I was talking to somebody this morning about the COVID-era stuff, and he was kind of defending some of these positions that people took that were incredulous to me. And people convince themselves a shit. It's just that's the part. I actually find that more distrifice. serving that they're they convince themselves of things that are just not real not reality they just

convince themselves out of reality i mean that's what happened during covid i know when i started revisiting some of the you know the francis collins and the redfields inventing six feet distancing and talking publicly that they didn't consider any risks of any things they did wow that's a reminder of how crazy people got i was doing patrick bet David's show the other day. I wonder how that went. They're running a montage of people that were saying there was no such thing as Antifa, right?

And when it was done, I said, and everyone sort of looked at each year, like, how can you say that? How can all these people say that? And then I said, listen, 10 minutes ago, they were explaining COVID didn't come from a lab. And they knew what the, and they knew that it came from what? I said, they don't know anything. Yes. I don't know anything.

But isn't that weird, though, when you. don't know and you take a absolute categorical position, start championing something that you have no idea about? That's so weird to me. It is amongst my greatest fears is to be, you know, crowing about stuff constantly and then having it rubbed in my face, especially since it's all digitized and in high-deaf now. I would love to, I would just apologize all day, every day, if that happened. Can you find there's a great, I'm going to ask Andrew. popped in my head this clip of Katie Porter on Bill Marr when she was getting into it with Pierce Morgan who had had thoughts.

She's a horrible, horrible person that I did a little research on it. It was six years ago. I was complaining about her and the bank commercial talking about how to save money. Don't order, you know, Starbucks, don't Uber, make your own food. And she attacked B of A or whatever, whatever it was, she attacked. She attacked them for telling their clients to save money. Yeah. Also, she's a dumb cow because she was like, how about them trying to make rent?

It's like, well, it's, if I said to my grandfather, I'm having trouble making rent, and then he said, what are you doing tonight? And I said, I'm going out for sushi. He would say, well, maybe you should stop going out for sushi so much. and go home and why don't you boil up a pot of beans and some rice and make yourself some food at home. I mean, literally, when I lived, when I was poor, I made, I would make a big pot of like vegetables and, you know, meat and stuff. I'd make a big pot of this stuff. And then I'd just make a big thing of pasta and I'd just dump it over the pasta.

And I'd eat that four nights in a row because it was. 14 bucks for five meals is basically what it worked. I didn't go out to eat. I wasn't ordering lattes. Yep. You know what I mean? Yep. But this is what they were telling you, they were advising young people to save their money. By the way, they said don't order an Uber walk to the place, get some exercise. Anyway, it's all all the diet and exercise of life and that dumb cow had to attack that. Yeah, of course. Of course. All right. Now, so for me, that person doesn't have the ability to use logic, and there for six years ago, I was like, this bitch is dumb, and I don't want anywhere near any levers of control.

Unless you could be your governor. Welcome to California. That's right. So we have, but it's interesting. Pierce asks her, well, you'll see the clip, but it's perfect because she just knows something and she won't answer. By the way, Pierce does what Bill should do, which I do with people all the time, and they go, I disagree with everything Charlie Kirk says.

Why don't you tell me something you disagree with that? Go ahead and tell me. Not, oh, okay. All right. We'll play the clip when Andrew's ready, ready to do it. Pierce tries, but she won't do it because she's dumb. He should be able to have a civil debate. Nobody, including Riley Gaines, who I disagree with strongly, should be, should feel physically.

What did you disagree with out of interest? Um, I, I think that it should be up to sporting bodies. Pause it. All right. So you can see her, she disagrees with, she's paused. She disagrees strongly. Yeah. With it.

Yeah. Okay. What? What do you disagree with, bitch? Tell us. All right. So you can see her have like a little minor glitch melt, you know, and she's like, huh?

Answer a question. All right. Sorry, we'll play it again. Turn it up a little, Andrew, please. up to sporting bodies to make the decisions about who and how she said that's actually wrong. I think that what she has done is try to turn this. We talked about people, you know, becoming, using things to kind of get likes and get clicks. That's not what she's doing.

I mean, I've got no truck for right against persons. Pause. Okay. I disagree with everything this person says. Okay. What is she said that's wrong? She's trying to get clicks. that's not an example of what she's said that's wrong she doesn't know what riley gains says

right she has no fucking idea who riley gains is right riley gains is on the other side and she doesn't like people on the other side she has no idea what riley gain says and whatever riley gain says is diet and exercise so you can't poke holes in it so she can't but now she's saying she's trying to be popular and get clicks. So she says from the set of a TV show she's on. Right. I mean, it's exactly the kind of person we don't need to hear from. Right.

But it appears it's just asking simple questions. All right. But we'll, you can rewind it 10 seconds or whatever, and we'll play it on. Get likes and get clicks. That's not what she's doing. I mean, I've got no truck for writing games personally, but all I've seen to do is stand up for women's rights to fairness and equality. She actually competed against Leah Thomas and it was

obviously unfair. Leah Thomas won one of the races in the NCAA Championships by 50 seconds against a bunch of biological females who simply couldn't keep up. That cannot be right. It cannot be fair. That is something that I trust, I think our sporting bodies should be dealing with. And by the way, Riley is speaking up for herself, and that is her prerogative. her free speech. I think she's speaking up for pretty much every female athlete in the world. I mean, wasn't that the point of time?

What's her ideas? What's her problem? How are we going to solve this? Six years ago. I hate Riley Gaines. Yeah. Was this six years ago? Oh, I thought that's what you said. When was this?

True. You were railing about her six years ago, you said. No? I said. I did the whole B of A bank, cook your own food. I did a long explanation on that from six years ago. Okay, got it. Then I said, let's look at this clip of Katie Porter.

Now, Drew, you must be looking at your phone or something. Now, when is this from? Just curious. I was four months ago. I don't know. Just Pierce, does this look like it's six years old? No, it doesn't. All right.

It looks like it's from March. I don't know. I don't know. When is it from? I didn't feel the need to put a stamp on it because it just seemed, well, first off, Okay. Riley Gaines situation is not six years old. Yeah. All right, Drew.

Wait, we're getting functional MRI? Something like that. We've got to get something locked up. I don't know. This is from March of 2000 or whatever. It's recent. The point is she's a dope. She's, and she doesn't know how to think logically.

All she knows is Riley Gaines is the enemy, even though Riley Gaines is a top-notch. athlete who got screwed over by a six foot four guy with a dick and fucked over. This is from April. Oh, this is two years old. So she got fucked over. And you were not taking Riley Gaines's side because she's on the other side. But the other side is just diet and exercise.

It's just gravity. It's just what makes sense. And you're in some pie in the sky side. The tube is the panel that isn't going to be able to fix anything because everything to you is, we'll put together a panel and let them discuss it. Yeah. Yeah. Not going to happen.

By the way, I don't know how many panels can you assemble? I don't know how many homeless commissions can we put. How many panels can we put together? Eush. All right, Drewski. I'm going to be flappers coming up October 29th and then Boston. Wilbur Theater, man. I've been there in a while.

And then Buffalo at Electric City on November 7th. you go to amcrawl.com for all the live dates. What do you got, Drew? I ask Dr. Drew Rumble X and YouTube, Tuesday and Thursday at 2, Wednesday at 4 Pacific. So, until next time, I'm Amcrow for Dr. San. Mahala.
