Episode Date: October 22, 2025

On this episode of The Adam and Dr. Drew Show, Adam and Dr. Drew kick things off discussing the decline of expertise in today’s world — especially among men. The two look back at the prem...iere episode of The Man Show and reflect on how times have changed. They also react to an article about the growing feminization of society, a clip of Donald Trump discussing the construction of the new White House ballroom, and a study suggesting that introducing infants to peanuts early can actually help prevent allergies.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The game starts here. Adam Carolla, 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 you got it on. I'm going to get it on. That dude, four, five, that's it.
Starting point is 00:02:38 Did the specialist. Boo-hoo. It's going on, man. Oh, man, so much. Nice mention by Rogan about your construction background. Yeah. Which I thought was, it was the first time I'd heard that sort of acknowledged that way. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:02:54 In the sense that people send around your videos about the pathetic response to the fire site and, you know, the lack of ability to get permits for construction and the palisades. But he just said it very succinctly. Like, he knows what he's talking about. He's dealt with this for he. He comes from construction. He predicted it on day one. And that was that.
Starting point is 00:03:15 Yeah. People. Let me, let me. Let's. What's going? No, I'm having a seizure. Oh, I have thoughts. All right.
Starting point is 00:03:26 Because I brought that male, female article in that I sent you that I was reading again and sort of underlining things. And I here's what I've kind of read an article. Nine pages printed out, bro. It's a lot of reading for this podcast. And with intention. With intention. What I've sort of figured out is with me and a field of expertise, and I, and I, and I've been drilling down on this for quite some time because I think it's important even though I'm not sure at the time why it's important.
Starting point is 00:04:02 But I notice women and dumb dudes are real dismissive of expertise, you know, and it's a lot of like, I'll go sort of extreme examples, but like Maria Alonzo, Consuela, Conchita, Sanchez, who's a did. district select woman of San Diego tells Elon Musk to get the fuck out. That dope doesn't know what he's doing. Right. We don't need him. What's he ever done? Okay, Dumbo. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:04:35 Right. But that's how they talk all the time. And I've noticed dumb people do that. Women do it a lot and dumb people do it. They, you know, they go, I don't, they don't really recognize expertise. And by the way, it's intentional because they don't have to then listen to you. Well, it's also narcissistic, right? Yes.
Starting point is 00:04:55 Because I remember that a lot when I was in medical school and residency. I did a lot of hanging out in gyms and working out when I could. And guys would always come up to me and go, Dumbo's. And come up and go, yeah, I'm going to be a doctor. I'd be an orthopedic surgeon. Right, right. I'm like, do you understand what's how hard was me to get here? And they would say it with complete like, yeah, yeah, I'll turn my attention that way one of these days.
Starting point is 00:05:19 And yeah, I'm going to do that. So part of the lack of understanding. of expertise is an abject what's Dunning Kruger. An abject lack of understanding of what goes into expertise. Right. Yeah, but it's also the groundwork for not listening to the person.
Starting point is 00:05:43 There's an agenda that is attached to it that is there to sort of set the table of you know Elon Musk what's that guy know you know they do a lot of like when the I'll tell you I'll tell you the people that do it a lot
Starting point is 00:06:01 the people who answer their own questions they go Elon Musk what's that guy no nothing yes it's like yeah okay he doesn't know anything you're right right you're so right you're so right you're so right you fucking chick with nine
Starting point is 00:06:16 Latin surnames who's running San Diego into the ground you have a much greater understanding of how to run companies or cities or build a rocket ship whatever whatever they're all these people and so they're constantly trying to well i mean there's sort of an extreme version of it you know when they go what's Donald Trump want he wants cruelty oh yeah cruelty to kids cruelty to those who look different than him though he's a builder who wants to fix shit and he's in a hurry yeah that's that's what he wants
Starting point is 00:06:51 Yeah. And they want you to acknowledge me and talk. Right. To me. Well, I'm reading this article, which I suggest you guys all read. It's by Helen Andrews. And it's in Compact Magazine. Entitled?
Starting point is 00:07:11 The Great Feminization. Yeah. Now, actually, I was thinking about it, and Andrew, if you can find the beginning of the pilot of the man show which I think we must have written in like 98 because it was a pilot on ABC
Starting point is 00:07:35 before it was a comedy central show and we'd been on Loveland a couple of years at that point when you went to air that is correct and we went to Loveline was but we didn't go to air till no the Lovelin was like 97 really when we were in full swing no no you just said when you went
Starting point is 00:07:51 to air. But Man Show sat for a year before it went to air. Yeah, yeah. But we had to do the pilot, which we must have written in 97 or 98. So now we're, you know, 25 plus. We're coming on a 30 years old. And in the opening scene on the Hoover Dam, we're talking about the great feminization wave that was coming over the city. Little did you know that one of you would be complete subsumed by it dragged out to sea clinging to a tampon for life
Starting point is 00:08:27 the great to stay afloat the great feminization is the name of this article from you know 10 minutes ago written by a woman written by woman yeah and I
Starting point is 00:08:37 the reason I don't I try not to make a deal of that because part of the problem we've gotten into in this society is where you're not black I have black friends this guy no
Starting point is 00:08:49 This guy's a black guy He likes Trump It's like fuck off I can have opinions These people all times Like how can you talk about the black community How the fuck can I talk about any community Right
Starting point is 00:09:00 I have opinions You fucking idiots What do you know about what I know about women What do I know about dogs? I'm not you're not a black lab Yeah I have right But I have thoughts Is that okay?
Starting point is 00:09:12 Yeah I have thoughts about UPS drivers I don't drive for UPS Do you understand how thoughts work It's like fuck on I've always hated that. I have to be like a black woman to, you know, fuck off. It actually, it started in medicine where people were like, if you're not a recovering person, how can you do addiction medicine?
Starting point is 00:09:29 It's like, would you have to have cancer and each kind of cancer to be an oncologist? What are we talking about here? I built people super expensive custom homes and lived in an apartment. How are you able to build a company? Because I know how to build a custom home and then I go home to my shitty apartment. Right. That's how I do it. I don't live in the custom home.
Starting point is 00:09:49 Okay. Oh, we have the beginning. And I haven't seen this in a million years, but it struck me as we're talking about it as I was reading the feminization that this is, you know, 20, almost 30 years old. I mean, it's inception. But hang on a second. Don't hear it yet. Because for some weird reason, this opening stayed with me like some sort of man of farting. Well, that's David me, too.
Starting point is 00:10:17 That's true. That's favorite bit. No, but this thing, I remember you guys putting your hands. I haven't seen it in 20 years. You guys put your hand on the wall and lean into the thing. And it stayed with me some sort of moment. Like, I didn't fully get it, obviously. I was a, I was an acolyte of the other side in this.
Starting point is 00:10:38 And I'm part of the problem, of course. Yes, you are. Apologies, apologies, apologies, wherever I can apologize, I will. But it's weird that it stayed with me so vividly because it, I knew it meant something. You know what I mean? Yeah. I just didn't fully understand it.
Starting point is 00:10:53 All right. Sorry. Okay, here we go. 6.6 million tons of concrete, harnessing nearly a trillion gallons of water. 16,000 men spent half a decade building it. They lived in shacks and tents along its base without drinking water, toilets, or shelter from the desert heat.
Starting point is 00:11:15 More than a hundred of these men gave their lives. to this dam. Their bodies are paved over in its walls. Its 2 million kilowatt capacity powers the greatest city in the world, Las Vegas. And just as these heroic men did more than 60 years ago, we are building a dam. A dam to hold back the tidal wave of feminization that is flooding this country. A dam to stop the river of estrogen that is drowning us in political correctness. A dam to to urinate off of when we're really drunk. We call this damn
Starting point is 00:11:53 the man show now when did the man show air first air that's the question because that is from the pilot and the pilot was shot for ABC so it was June
Starting point is 00:12:14 1999 so this would have been a year earlier which would have been 98 and then I would have, and we would have conceived and written this before that. Oh, you were talking about this shit and we were doing a love line for sure before that. Yeah, so now we're there. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:29 Okay. But somebody saw it coming. But who? The guy who everyone says, shut up, don't listen to him or you're right. Without being critical of Jimmy, how would he look at this now?
Starting point is 00:12:42 Would he feel I was wrong to have said that? Would he say things have changed? I've just, or I've changed my, I'm sweat. How would he look at his position now versus that? I've matured. You know what I mean? Yeah, I think he would say he's evolved or something, I guess. Would he say that was a false premise?
Starting point is 00:13:02 It just didn't exist and it no longer, because that's what a lot of the pushback is. Now, it's just a talking point, far right, blah, blah, blah. Yeah. Well, you were far right then, right? I got, 25 years ago. I've, so I highlighted. Almost 30 years ago. That's what I said to five minutes ago.
Starting point is 00:13:21 Female, this is according to this article, but this is kind of what we're dealing with. Female group dynamics favor consensus and cooperation. Men order each other around, but women can only suggest and persuade. Any criticism or negative sentiment if it's absolutely, sorry, if it absolutely must be expressed, needs to be buried in layers of compliment. That's what women do. The outcome of a discussion is less important than the fact that the discussion was held and everyone participate in it. The outcome of the discussion is less important than the fact that we had it. Remember I told you all those times when I talked to my ex-wife, she'd be satiated.
Starting point is 00:14:09 She'd go, I called the cable company and what happened? Nothing happened. But we had the conversation. And then I would tell you all the done. Dumbo's on the city council, all the Yanta cows, would all get together and argue about homelessness and then go to lunch and then that would be that. Yeah. And nothing would come out the other end.
Starting point is 00:14:25 And then I showed you when Karen Bass was sitting there with Trump. And Trump was like, hurry, hurry build, hurry, clean these lots and start building. She's like, whoa, whoa, whoa, slow down. And then I start calling it process. Yeah, it's what it is. It is process. We have a majority feminine mindset in Los Angeles and we sit and we talk. And nothing ever happens because it's a feminine thing.
Starting point is 00:14:50 Yeah. And female process addiction is about talking. Male process addiction, porn. Right. Isn't that weird? Yes. So the article goes on. The most important sex difference in group dynamics is attitude to conflict.
Starting point is 00:15:08 In short, men wage conflict openly while women covertly undermine and ostracize their enemies. Of course. Right. Okay. And get nothing done and get nothing done. And build coalitions dollars. Right, right.
Starting point is 00:15:22 And get nothing done. Okay. So if you're going to live... And by the way, that first sentence, if you'd read that to me in 1999, I would have said immediately, yeah, that's right. They're better. You see? I told you.
Starting point is 00:15:34 Female group dynamics favor consensus and cooperation. Men order each other. I would have gone, okay, see, Adam, I told you. Right. That's what I got wrong. It sounds good. Apologies. Right.
Starting point is 00:15:44 But if you live in a city that has a city. a feminine dynamic, then you shall get nothing done. Yeah. That's how it works. And by the way, you were not saying all women are feminized. No, no. Marine Le Pen. Whoever wrote this are, Helen Andrews is not feminized. Maloney.
Starting point is 00:16:00 Yeah. Oh, no, there's plenty of them. And then there's Gavin Newsome who wears a cadre of bracelets and crosses his legs deeper with a deeper cross than Obama. Somebody needs to do a study of feminization and leg crossing. He's full chick. Well, but
Starting point is 00:16:16 I mean, but I mean, you have to, Justin Trudeau is a fucking bitch. I mean, he's just a chick, 100%. Now, that's how they, Obama's that way. That's how they present. Now, I'm sure Obama's a douche off whatever, you know, I'm sure he's horrible, but he presents. That's why he does the super steep leg cross and sits in a sort of posture and chooses his words. He's very, like, feminine. but I'm sure.
Starting point is 00:16:45 Processing. Processing. It's all process. And I told Andrew to pull a short audio clip of Trump talking about building noises, by the way, which is, it makes me laugh. Because I've told you, I've told everyone Trump's a builder. Yeah. And builders are in a hurry. They're in a hurry, and they've got to get the right subs you've taught me.
Starting point is 00:17:12 which is an interesting new thing that I had not thought about. You have to have all the right subs. And you have a firearm otherwise. Just gone next. You can't work fast if you don't have the right subs. But this is him. That's funny.
Starting point is 00:17:24 This again, I'm going to get a ballroom built and we're putting up our own money with the government just paying for nothing. You probably hear the beautiful sound of construction to the back. You hear that sound? Oh, that's music to my ears. I love that sound.
Starting point is 00:17:39 Other people don't like it. I love it, Josh. I think when I hear that sound it reminds me of money in this case it reminds me of lack of money because I'm paying for it so it's the opposite. Here's the point. My mom would be annoyed by the sound of building.
Starting point is 00:17:54 And she'd be outraged by that whole decision like that. He said money, he said building, we don't like it. Now let's get him off that. He couldn't hang with the LA City Council. Hang on now. I'm just thinking what was the... I'm not going to even ask this question. I'm going to state it.
Starting point is 00:18:08 Their ultimate complaint ultimately that what would be superior to the money and construction is too many people, right? That's always what they complained about, your mom and her type. Overpopulation, overpopulation, overpopulation. You've got to say overpopulation. Too many people could mean the room was crowded. Too many people. So your mom would literally be relieved and supportive of the drop in the birth rate now that's going on.
Starting point is 00:18:37 They didn't like anything that involved progress. They liked everything was regressive. But they also did not like people. Let me get right down to it. They didn't like people, but too many people. They felt that people hurt the planet. And so if their number, look, if people weren't people, they were just aphids and we lived in a garden, then they'd want less aphids because they love the garden. Right.
Starting point is 00:19:03 And that's the way they looked at people. That's right. which is not a deep appreciation of the human experience. I don't know that you had that for the human experience. All right, we'll take a quick break. We'll be right back after this. This October, fear is free on Pluto TV with horror movie collections from paranormal activity, The Ring. You will die in seven days.
Starting point is 00:19:26 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. the world ending chaos in 28 days later. There's something in the blow. All the scares, all for free. Pluto TV, stream now, pay never.
Starting point is 00:19:49 On the theme of me being right about everything all the time and forever, somebody. Took a while. Oh, listen. You want to how long it takes for me to be right? 30 years. No, there's no. There's no actual calendar said to it.
Starting point is 00:20:08 What are you asking exactly? How long it takes for people... Not time. No, for me to be right. I'm going to struggle with it. It's like for consensus to be built. I'm saying up a joke. Just shut up.
Starting point is 00:20:22 I don't know when you're being serious when you say up a joke. It's not 30 years, and it's not 10 years. It's the amount of time it takes for people to forget what I said initially. Oh, yeah. And then we can go to it. Right. That's how it works. They have to initially forget what I was talking about the whole fucking time. And then we can embrace some new thing, which is new to them, but it's old to me because that's what I was talking about. The peanuts, we tweeted it out, Andrew, which is, it turns out you got to expose very young infants to peanuts. So they won't be allergic. That's right.
Starting point is 00:21:03 Because everyone is allergic to peanuts, and then we took all the peanuts out of the house. Think about this. Why very young? Why infant? Why? Because the immune system is different in that age group. Therefore, unlimited vaccines is a good thing to evolving immune system. Is that good?
Starting point is 00:21:22 I don't know. Look, these fucking safety, by the way, it's another feminine thing. The safety, Uber-Aless, bullshit is getting people killed. Yes. yeah in 15 years in 50 years will all be chicks i wrote about this in my book and um now it turns out research drill turns out the research could just ask adam turns out that the peanuts are important exposure is drew talks about i remember going into a friend's house about 18 years ago and i was just sitting in his kitchen. It was kind of a modest thing. And I, you know, I knew he didn't have a
Starting point is 00:22:03 bunch of good food for me to eat like a Drew's house. But I said, man, I'm hungry. I just want to get a scoop of peanut butter. And he said, oh, yeah, no peanut butter. And I said, oh, man, you always keep some peanut butter. Get a nice scoop of peanut butter. And he goes, yeah, no, we have, we got it out of the house. I go, what was it out of the house? Oh, my, my daughter's allergic. I go, your daughter's six months old. Oh, Jesus. yeah but she's in a crib in the other room yeah but the wife said let's get out of the house oh my god i said well just put it up on a i don't fuck put it up on a shelf just put it up in the cabinet up top where the glasses are yeah i know but uh she wanted it out of by the way
Starting point is 00:22:49 this is a problem because if that bitch is coming at me i go fuck off i want my peanut butter i'm not going to put it in her crib but i think i'm responsible enough to own peanut butter and By the way, they're allergic to peanut butter. Really? Is everyone allergic to peanut butter? But also, the peanut butter that's in the kitchen up on the upper shelf is not going to find its way into the infant's hands. So, no, I'm not going to go put the peanut butter in the garage, you crazy cow. But he just went and removed it from the house, which is the problem.
Starting point is 00:23:20 That's the problem. Guys should have went fuck off. If you want to, listen, bitch, if you want to be nuts, do it on your done. I'm not crazy. I can live in a house with peanut butter. My appreciation for my father-in-law is going up so much these days. He spent two years in the hull of a ship in the Pacific during World War II, came out, became an engineer after the GI Bill,
Starting point is 00:23:43 worked for Ford Aviation, then got fired, and the giant layoffs of the 70s, ended up buying hardware stores. And he took my wife at a very young age, like four, and brought her into the garage all the time, taught her to fix things, toilets, plumbing, carpet, but everything way better than I am oh yeah I'm I crossed my legs man yeah so deep cross pioneer yeah and uh point is I can't remember exactly what happened but the other day we had something go wrong I was a I think was a plumbing thing and she just got on it just like fixed it
Starting point is 00:24:18 and I'm like oh yeah that's that's good you you got to I mean you don't got to but when you own a home with multiple bathrooms and things things like that. It's nice to have somebody knows their way around under that roof. Yeah. Agreed. Andrew, the article, by the way, which you took down, which is fine. But I did kind of want to see what the peanut article is. But I'll paraphrase.
Starting point is 00:24:46 You've got to expose kids. When I say kids, I mean, infants. The CNN article. Yeah. Advice to feed babies peanuts early and often help 60,000 kids avoid allergies. study finds. Okay. So how long did it take that one to come to for us to forget about what you said? We just had to wait until we forgot about what I was saying. I'm saying. How did that take this time? I don't know. Andrew, maybe not for this show. Well, you know it's weird. I'm just
Starting point is 00:25:14 thinking all this stuff is very familiar to me that you've been saying it since the 90s. My question is how long before that were you saying it? I'm sure I always thought about it and I always, I didn't I was talking to guys on a construction site, so it didn't really, you know, it wasn't chronicled. Yeah. Because it wasn't into a microphone. I can bear witness. And now it was chronicled. So maybe 40 years, right?
Starting point is 00:25:41 That you were. I've always, listen, here's what I've always done. And Andrew, you can see if in 50 years will all be chicks, my first book. And I don't know if it's on the computer and you can just write peanut or allergies or something like that, I think. but I must have written about it. I would sit around and hear stories. Now, the one you like the best, actually you don't like it the best, but I cite it the most,
Starting point is 00:26:09 which is the high schoolers from the Catholic school went to Maui and annoyed dolphins. And I'm like, okay, man can't swim faster in three miles an hour and the dolphins swim at 30 miles an hour. So I don't know how much annoying was going on. You know, like, be like guy in wheelchair and noise, Usain Bolt, you know, like I don't think so. I think he could just get away from him if he wanted to. So I hear stories like, I would sit around on a construction site going, how's everyone allergic to peanuts when I've never met anyone who was allergic to peanuts?
Starting point is 00:26:44 And how come when I was in school, you know, not that long ago, 15 years ago, nobody was allergic to peanuts. And now everyone's allergic to peanuts and they have to have a peanut-free zone and a special bench for people want to eat peanut. or jelly sandwiches and Southwest is going to, and I go, now, something's wrong. I don't buy it. Same with autism, right? Yeah, same with everything. I don't, none of the shit started, human biology does not evolve or devolve. Everything, everything, everything.
Starting point is 00:27:11 Yeah, you got to drink. Okay, you take your weight, you take your weight, then you translate that then into ounces, and then every hour you drink 200 ounces of water. Yeah, no. How come everyone was skinny when they didn't drink water? No one carried water. Everyone was skinny. How do you explain nobody carrying water and everyone being skinny,
Starting point is 00:27:30 and now you must drink water in order to maintain your weight and lose weight, but everyone is fat, so I don't buy it. And then football. Right. Our experience with football in the 70s. No water. So I would sit around and know what was happening all the time. And then stuff like COVID comes in and blah, blah, blah, blah.
Starting point is 00:27:54 And that's like, all right. I don't, you know, we're going to mask up in between bites, you know, stuff like that. Now, mask up in between bites is like an absurd extreme of whatnot to listen to. But the peanut thing and the autism thing and the transgender thing and the hydrate thing, you can, that's pretty discernible too. It's not as patently insane as masking up in between bites, but it's on, it's one strad below in the what the fuck are these people talking about. longer listening. Well, the safety Uber-Alice thing is the sort of... Big problem. Yeah. That people don't think is a big problem. Well, you said it, so they have to catch up with you. Drew. Yeah. In the safety Uber-Alice thing. Now, because you think
Starting point is 00:28:42 safety Uber-Alice is about removing the peanuts from the Southwest flight on the off chance that somebody's going to have an allergic reaction. No, I think it's... I just think about many, many, many other things, including a total denial of death. Yeah. So, I mean, they're just... But there's a lot of... But there's a lot of...
Starting point is 00:29:05 You know, put the helmet on, you know. When most people think about safety, they think about airbags and crumple zones and stuff like that. It's the opposite of, hey, let's go forth. It's explore. Right, right. But there's an even deeper, broader safety Uber-Alice thing that's not just about elbow pads and helmets when you're skateboarding and that like a very focused kind of thing.
Starting point is 00:29:35 When I've yelled at you about building and, you know, permitting and red tape and codes, and codes, right? And I was, I'm looking at this place that they're starting to get to work on on PCH, and I'm looking. at what they're doing and they're drilling these casons into the ground that are six stories deep and they're doing them all over the place and and and I said to the guy the foreman over that go what he got into the foundation by the way not before you can see any there's nothing above the soil it's just a soil line uh he goes about two million plus okay so one house a small house, 2,000 square foot. I said, so what I'm saying is, it's safety, it's safety, it's safety, okay, but
Starting point is 00:30:30 it doesn't need to be this safe. You do not need casons going six stories into the ground. It's crazy visually to see the cages that go get lowered in and go on forever. But you are now building something in the name of, you know, we're an earthquake country, You know, in the name of safety, you're building something that's 10,000 times as strong as it needed to be. And by the way, the former structure just had piles, telephone poles going into the ground, like the pier does. There's a quarter mile away. There's a pier that's built in 1905.
Starting point is 00:31:04 It's still there. Yeah. There's no caissons. There's no cement. It's just piles. And I thought the Coastal Commission wanted reclamation. I thought they wanted us to build stuff that the ocean could take back when it wants to. So in the name of safety, Uber Alice, this homeowner.
Starting point is 00:31:20 going to put $2.5 million bucks into the ground before they can start building. And it is the structure of this is mind-numbing. And I don't know, you have to picture six-story buildings in the ground, 30 of them. 30 of these holes, 30 inches wide cages. I took a couple of pictures. pictures, Andrew pull a cage up for you whenever he returns. Like rebar cages kind of thing?
Starting point is 00:31:57 Yeah, yeah, sorry. We won't, we'll find the peanut in the book, Andrew, who may have left. I don't know. I don't be like leaving is a good, I don't think. Dawson does it sometimes. It could be an emergency. It could be an emergency. I'm just trying to find the book.
Starting point is 00:32:12 I know, but if you check the clock, that's not going to happen right now. but it'll happen maybe next show maybe next year the book i don't know they used to be on that was a compliment andrew just you know yeah they used to be on the computer but i guess they're not on the computer someone has to like physically get the book i don't know anyway Andrew showed drew the picture of the rebar cage that's what i'm saying because it's mind-numbing when you realize what we're doing in the name of safety and then every apatria's obelisk Leopatra's ovalist? Like six stories high, and they couldn't get it to stand up.
Starting point is 00:32:52 Oh, what they, what I'm saying to everyone is they go, you know my mom? Oh, no, forget my mom. You know what, Jane Fonda would say? What's wrong? So what? More. We need more. We need more.
Starting point is 00:33:00 More. Why not? What's wrong with being safe? And the answer is, I'll tell you what's wrong with it. Oh, my God. Look at that. What are you looking at? I'm looking at the mile of rebar, it looks like.
Starting point is 00:33:10 It's just these tubes of, that are, that are, they're rebar, they know, the metal, where the concrete's going to be poured into. But it looks, it looks more, it looks like a quarter mile. It's crazy. It is going off. And it's that's six stories. It's getting lowered into every hole. Crazy. And then nothing will protrude past the ground.
Starting point is 00:33:29 That crazy? Now, Jane Fonda would go, why not do seven stories? She who has Ted Turner's money. She doesn't give a shit about. Right. But so what I'm saying to her is, A, you could go eight or ten stories into the ground, but someone has to pay for that. Why should the homeowner have to pay for this? I mean, a commercial airliner could hit it.
Starting point is 00:33:52 It would stay in the force. You know, it's just a house. The house was built in the 50s, and it had piles, telephone poles going into the ground. Made it nearly 100 years. Right. Number one. Well, it would still be there except for the fire that you guys didn't manage took it out, right? It wasn't the ocean.
Starting point is 00:34:10 It wasn't the water. Right. And, you know, it's funny. What the city does run is the telephone poles. in the electric wires, which are on telephone polls, which are four feet away. Right. That now that's good enough. Good enough to use the poll for them.
Starting point is 00:34:25 Yeah. They don't have the money to sink piles, a pile. Well, that's the general note. The general note is unlimited capacity to ask citizens for money or to demand the money, whether it's in the name of safety and their own investment or to the government. Right. And the worst at managing, let's face it, anything. certainly capital, the worst at managing capital.
Starting point is 00:34:49 I heard somebody talking today about complaining that Amazon wasn't paying taxes. Because they reinvest in the business, would you rather that money go to the sinkhole that is government? And by the way, in the meantime, because they're growing so fast, they create $9 billion of taxes for the properties and the employees. Billions of dollars. This is a simpleton dumbos.
