Dr. Drew then wonders how much the media really shapes everything in our lives, prompting Adam to share that he...’s been listening to old-time radio and reflecting on how much the culture has changed. Adam brings up how nobody seems to have short‑term retention or can follow basic instructions anymore, and Drew wraps by talking about how shocked he is at the sheer amount of fraud being uncovered in America today.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Starting point is 00:01:30 Recorded live at Corolla 1 Studios with 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 to get on the church. Ramblamlam. Diximic specialist. What's you got? Manum.
Starting point is 00:01:54 Do you know that came from a movie, some British film? Yeah. I saw it on Instagram or something. I'm like, I always thought that was, we know it from the Muppets, right? I don't know that I know it from the Muppets. I knew it from pre-Muppet. Me too. It became a radio hit for a brief minute.
Starting point is 00:02:10 Yeah. All right. Anyway, I am so preoccupied. This is back to your frame of, to use Scott Adams' words, of Chick-Think, which is how medical stories are reported, right? It's always with hysteria. I think last week I talked about Trump and the meal they were making out of this, this solar or senile purple on an arm. The purple. The purple bruise.
Starting point is 00:02:37 And which I have, and most older men that have had sun exposure have. But here's an interesting story. This is reported as a booger wall sending me to the hospital. Okay. So this struck me for two reasons. One is, I remember at the man show, when you'd go to the bathroom and stand in the urinal, it was piled high with snot rockets. It was a bugger wall. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:05 But it wasn't somebody picking their nose away. It was snot rockets. So congratulations. That memory is seared into my head. Yeah, yeah. So good. But they're reporting this. I want to read how they report it.
Starting point is 00:03:18 Causes anything from minor skin infections to pneumonia, bloodstream infections, or even toxic. shock syndrome. The buggers? Well, this is why they can't even report accurately. The boogers are on the wall and the staff that might be the boogers wouldn't stay there very long. But then they're saying, well, you could pick your nose and scratch your nose and infection can get in. Doesn't really happen like that. Toxic shock almost never without an occlusive dressing or something. And so, yeah, I mean, think of all the people that pick their nose. And how many systemic staff infections are we seen from that? But they go, it's dangerous bacteria like staff.
Starting point is 00:04:01 And it's like, oh, come on. Well, everything's a hysteria. Everything's a crisis. Everything is running to the, I mean, come on. I don't know what we do with this. People need to expose yourself to more or not listen to this shit. It's more than this fucking hysterical shit. I've now, I may have topped my game.
Starting point is 00:04:21 No, no, no. I brought Indian food from Martha's Vineyard back to L.A. and ate it. Congratulations. Yeah. Last night, I ended up taking Cajun food back from Denver, and I ate it. That was all seafood. And actually, one container got left out overnight at the place I was staying. I don't care. I can do it. I eat old food all the time. I... My girlfriend was making steak. and she bought a steak
Starting point is 00:04:52 but I've been in the fridge for like two or three days and she opened it up and she smelled it and she went is this gone bad and it looked a little bad and it smelled bad too and I went
Starting point is 00:04:59 no it's good it's fine I just cooked it up and I ate it too yeah I do stuff like that too I I pull shit out of the sink and out of the trash can
Starting point is 00:05:10 because it drives me I'm not as the way you are you drive you crazy crazy you want to germ whatever I am I had a two I had a toothbrush downstairs in the downstairs bathroom. And I was cleaning over the break. I cleaned.
Starting point is 00:05:29 Now, listen to me, everybody. This thing where it's like, I'm a dude. And, you know, my girl was like, get the cleaning. I'm like, I'll handle it. I clean better than any fucking cleaning lady can clean because I'm a builder and because I have very good eyes and I'm very detail-oriented. And it's my shit. You would much rather have me clean your house than a cleaning woman.
Starting point is 00:05:53 But I won't do it because that's not my job and I'll pay someone else to do it. You know what it's like saying a guy can't clean? It's like saying a guy can't cook. No, the best chefs in the world are all guys. We just don't want to cook. It's a fucking waste of time. But if we did, the best maids in the world would be dudes. Like the guys I work with, like the fabricator guys, stuff like that.
Starting point is 00:06:17 They don't clean your house. best because they're detailed extreme detail so I was getting detailed she was out of town and I'm like I'm I'm cleaning the shit out of both both floors and at some point there was some shit and grout whatever some stuff on the floor and I went got my toothbrush out I got a toothbrush out and I got some cleanser out and I was like scrubbing this spot on the floor like a rust spot or something I went at it for a while and I was like all right it was a cheap toothbrush I was like I'll donate it the cause. But later on that day, I had to leave. And I was like, oh, I don't want to go upstairs and brush my teeth. And I just looked at the toothbrush that I was using it with the cleanser
Starting point is 00:06:59 on the floor. And I was like, I'll just rinse that off. I didn't just rinse it off. I do that shit all day every day. You don't get sick from, no, no, hang on it. You don't get sick from any of this stuff. Hang on people don't understand. I completely agree with you don't get sick from it. But I worry that whatever the caustic agent you were using would fuck the, fuck the teeth up. I rinsed it. Well, I wouldn't know enough to know that it would, you know. When my girlfriend goes out of town, I used to say mug every single day. Me too.
Starting point is 00:07:26 Me too. You know what I clean with my hand? Yes. I put my fucking hand in it and I put hot water and just rinse it and I fucking do it. Yeah, yeah. Me too. Do it. People.
Starting point is 00:07:33 Expose yourself to shit. Stop buying into Madison Avenue and all the fucking unilever and all these big companies that have sell you billions of dollars of shit you don't need. It's all to scare women. And then dudes. Well, because the worst thing a woman could call a dude is gross. And when you say to women, this is what I do, they go, gross. And as a guy, once you're labeled as gross, then that's it.
Starting point is 00:08:02 Then that's it. Cooties. No more sex for you, right? So guys don't want to be called gross, so they have to participate in this folly as well, this made-up invisible bullshit that doesn't. And by the way, every single person who calls me gross is on five medications and taking something for acid reflux and has an issue with they need oat milk when they go places. And I need nothing ever. I don't even know what it is.
Starting point is 00:08:30 I realize, like, you know, people go, get the dayquil, get the NyQuil, get the Pepsi. I go, I don't even know. I've never owned it. I don't know what it. I don't know what any of the stuff is. But it is. But it is. I do too.
Starting point is 00:08:43 It is interesting, though, how much. Once in a while my girlfriend will throw something in the trash can and I'll just go get it out of the trash can and like rinse it off and finish it. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, yeah, all the time. Okay. We're heroes. Keep going to.
Starting point is 00:08:56 No, because I don't understand that. It's like you decided that was, I was going to eat that in a couple of days. You decided it was bad. Yeah. But I'm eating it. It's not bad. But it's gross. It's gross.
Starting point is 00:09:06 If you eat it. But it smells bad. Just eat whatever the fuck you want, by the way. I'll figure it out. So much shit out. It's so wasteful. So I got to, now I have. big pile of Cajun food that was in the belly of an airplane.
Starting point is 00:09:19 Yeah. It's not like a packet in ice or anything. It's just in a suitcase with a bag wrapped around it, and I ate that last night. I ate more tonight. Was it a fine dining restaurant or just a... It was good. It was good food. I'm just saying, how much do you imagine that probably what they have in the back is a big tub of that
Starting point is 00:09:35 that they break the crust of it every day and eat it up? I ate what was in, left over in the fridge from a week ago and mixed with some Cajun food that had been left out overnight. You're hero. Yeah. But it is an interesting topic, how much of our world is shaped by media and Don Draper and Madison Avenue. It's, I had no idea. And now it's damn near everything.
Starting point is 00:10:00 And so as a result, I believe damn near nothing. No, no, I wouldn't believe anything. Yeah. Look, everything for me, totally a million times, the Catholic schoolgirl, Catholic schoolboys are chasing down the dolphins and annoying them in that. Oh, shit. Or how about the guy in front of the Lincoln Memorial, that kid from the Catholic school with the Native American. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:10:22 Well, by the way, if anything falls under the heading of a theme, I'm out immediately. A story, a theme, a narrative. Yeah, you like it. You like the idea of the rich white guy who's making fun of the elderly Native American. Yeah. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. You know what I was thinking? I don't know why.
Starting point is 00:10:38 I was trying to make it into a joke, really, but I was thinking about it. So I was listening to lots of. of old-time radio. I think I was telling me about that. No. I wasn't telling you about that? Tell me. Oh, I...
Starting point is 00:10:52 What do you mean? I didn't know what you mean by all-time radio. Old-time radio. I had Jack Benny show and Father-Nose-Best and stuff like that. So old radio dramas and shows. I said Jack Benny. No, no, no. I understand, but these are shows that happen to be on the radio before television.
Starting point is 00:11:09 The people don't realize there were full shows. I think old-time radio show covered this whole explanation? It might have been listening. to the big bands or something or singing, you know, Dynosur singing. All right. Time radio shows, not music from the 40s. All right. I've been listening to old time radio shows.
Starting point is 00:11:27 Okay. Yes, there are shows from the olden times. Okay. All right. Now, and then I said Jack Benny and Farned those bests, they were on, there were radio shows. Right. To me, just last go around on this. All right.
Starting point is 00:11:39 Those are two different things. One is... There are old time radio shows, true. Yes, they are. They did comedy. They did all, they did a lot of cop, gum shoe, detective shows. All right. So I was, during Christmas, they were playing all these religious ones or the story of Christmas or whatever, whatever it was.
Starting point is 00:12:02 And also, first off, kids had reverence for adults and parents and stuff. It was like crazy. You know, it was like a lot of, by the way, the guy, the breadwinner of the family, the guy. the guy who worked and kept the lights on and kept food in the fridge and paid the mortgage, that guy got a modicum of respect. Modicum. Yes. He would come home.
Starting point is 00:12:27 He would come home and like at the end of the day. Like, hi, honey. How was your day at work? Oh, it was a long day. And then the little girl would come up. Daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy. Come upstairs and play with my dolly house. And then the mom would jump in and go, your father worked very hard today.
Starting point is 00:12:44 wants to relax. Honey, do you want a highball? Let me get you your sweater. Honey, leave your father alone. He worked very hard for his family and he wants to relax for it. Sorry, father. And then they'd go upstairs. Now, like, you do. Jesus fucking Christ, because the guy paid for everything. He got, like, there's a, he got some respect. Yeah. She doesn't, doesn't exist at all anymore. And the kids listened to him and everyone like obeyed. But there was a, also it was crazy in those gum shoe things. As far as out, the way they treated women was insane, especially the bad guy. Now, when you were the bad guy and the, in the gumshoe detective, you know, Mike Helm, P.L. P.I. or whatever the hell it would be.
Starting point is 00:13:34 They're a whole bunch of them. They're all P.I. things. Yeah. I thought I should head over to apartment C and pay Mr. Jenkins a visit. And then. And they cut inside the apartment. And Mr. Jenkins was the bad guy. Yeah. Right. And he'd be like, it was crazy. He'd go, like someone, you know, he'd go, hey, woman, give me a coffee.
Starting point is 00:13:54 And she'd go, right away. And she'd go to get it. And then at some point, the phone would ring. And he'd go, well, aren't you going to pick it up? And she'd go, I was getting you coffee. Aye, aye, aye, a-a. Like, literally, like, threatened to. I ought to punch you.
Starting point is 00:14:10 Yeah. Because first off, I dispatch you to go get coffee, but then when the phone rang, you yelled at the person to pick up the phone, and then she said something about the coffee, and now you're threatening her. You know, it was crazy. And, I mean, then the doorbell would ring. Well, aren't you going to get it? You know, I was getting you coffee, my dear. Just get the damn door. You know, and then they'd like open the thing up, and, you know, she'd go like, oh, hello, Mr. Selah.
Starting point is 00:14:36 Hey, no one wants to hear what you have to say. Now get in the kitchen. Crazy. They just go, sorry, and they just like leave. And then at some point, they'd go, listen, here's what I want you to do. I got these guns, and I'm bringing them into Canada. And they go, I don't feel good. You don't feel good?
Starting point is 00:14:50 How about it feel good? A bit of a hand across your face. Okay, I'll do it. I'll do it. It's like everything was this subservient, like, things. Aggressive. Yeah. Now, listen, I don't, you know, I'm not saying I want to go back there completely, but a cup of coffee.
Starting point is 00:15:04 A cup of coffee wouldn't be bad. So is even, even before that. that the Instagram algorithm is sending me a bunch of early, early 30s, late 20s sort of movie clips. And the two things jump out. One is a lot of slapping. Right. A lot of slapping women. And women, too.
Starting point is 00:15:25 Not just missing. Yeah. That just sort of surprised me. And the other thing was this one Busby, what was the dance thing? Berklee. Yeah. thing from like 29 or something called a bend over sister. And it was about that.
Starting point is 00:15:45 Smacking? Spanking? Spanking? Bend over because I want to look. Wow. It was crazy. Bend over sister. And the thing was this is before the, they put the controls on it, the censorship on film. That's when the committees came in. But before they got pretty wild. The other thing I was thinking about is how there is, nobody has. has any retention anymore, like long term. Oh, not even long term, short term.
Starting point is 00:16:11 People can't. If I say to somebody, you know, drop me off the airport, then just take my car back and put the keys in the basket by the door or something. They can't remember to get the keys from the airport to home. There's no key in the basket. There's a problem with series and sequences and stuff. We talked about this. Right, right.
Starting point is 00:16:31 We always talk about it. But I realize back in the day, because people, didn't have phones and whatever and TV and with screens and computers and stuff. I think the retention was a lot. You certainly practiced your memory more. You didn't worry about offloading it out of a phone. You had to remember it. Yeah. So it was funny because I was just laughing. I was laughing in the car because I was listening to the old, old time radio shows. Yeah. And they had this thing where they're talking about Jesus and the birth of Christ and Christmas time and
Starting point is 00:17:08 Joseph and the innkeeper and going to the manger, the barn, you know, basically, the whole story. They're just doing the whole story and played out by radio personalities from the 50s or the 40s. It was super simple time. Things were cut and dry. We knew who everyone was. It wasn't a fucking
Starting point is 00:17:24 chaotic, shitty mess. Crazy women and fucking tattoos and screaming with septum peers. And we knew where they were then. Well, I do want to get... Boys and men. Girls were Girls and Men were on to it. All right.
Starting point is 00:17:40 Do you talk to Norman Lear about this? Hold on. No. But I will say this. So the thing that made me laugh and it made me want to try to turn it into a comedy bit, which is they, first off, Joseph and Mary go to the innkeeper. And they go, and he's like, we're all full up for the night. And they go, well, but how about, is there anywhere we could put our head down, like in the barn and the main. I guess a manger and a barn are kind of the same thing.
Starting point is 00:18:10 I don't know why we need a major like a hay holding something in the barn? Well, it's hay, but I mean. Major help me. It's something in the barn. It's not really, it's not, he could have said, can we spend the night in the barn? Yeah. But anyway. So he goes, so he shows up, right?
Starting point is 00:18:31 And this is part that makes me laugh. You know what? We'll take a quick break. I'm going to let you look that up. and then I'll tell you this story right after this. The perfect gene. Don't you hate jeans that crush your nuts and make you remember every meal you've ever eaten recently?
Starting point is 00:18:46 Yeah, those are the old genes. The perfect gene looks like jeans but feels like sweats. I'll be honest. I tried these, sorry. I'll be honest. I tried these because they paid me to. But no BS. I wear them almost every day.
Starting point is 00:19:02 I wear them on stage. So on stage, you want to look good, but you want to move around easily and you want to feel good. And, well, that's where I wear them the most.

Starting point is 00:20:29 Stream now, Pay Never You're welcome God damn it All right Is your Wi-Fi off? I don't know. It doesn't matter. Andrew will look up Manger versus Bar.
Starting point is 00:20:41 Is your Wi-Fi off here? I'm not, I'm not on the Wi-Fi. All right, true. Let them look up. All right, all right. All right. All right. So, I put the phone now.
Starting point is 00:20:49 All right. All right. So the thing that it made me laugh is the guy shows up, Joseph and Mary. Yeah. And he comes in and he goes, I'm Joseph, son of Jacob, carpenter of Nazareth. And he goes, okay, Joseph, it's good to meet you. And he goes, may we find some shelter or whatever? And at some point they go, you can go to the barn. But then two hours later, the Roman soldier shows up. And they're looking for him. Yes. Because somebody threw a rock at a
Starting point is 00:21:25 Roman soldier and they're going to kill him or whatever. So the Roman soldier shows up at the end. Interesting. Right. And he says, who's here? Who's a, you know, and who's a, you know, and who's staying in the manger. And he says, that is Joseph, son of Jacob, carpenter from Nazareth. And he goes, oh, look for myself. And then he goes, son of Jacob, carpenter of Nazareth. But the reason I was laughing, a manger is a feeding trough for animals. Yeah, it's like a...
Starting point is 00:21:58 It's not a trough. It's like a... It's shaped like a... It's shaped like a crib, like a, what's the word I'm looking for? Oh, a crib? Not a crib, right? It's shaped like that. Oh, you mean the manger?
Starting point is 00:22:11 And they put hay in it, it holds it. Oh, oh, because he was in the crib, not the area. The areas where everybody went, and then in that area there was a manger. I thought the manger was the area. Oh, here comes Andrew. No, he says, no, no. No, the stable was the area. The manger, Jesus was placed in a manger, which is used to feed livestock.
Starting point is 00:22:32 Yeah, it always screws me up. I guess I shouldn't wait at the salon to figure this out because whenever they would do the recreations, they had the fence posts going around. And then they had the hay on the ground. And they'd go, they're visiting, the wise men are going to the manger,
Starting point is 00:22:49 which doesn't sound like going to the crib. It's not like they're going to the area. But anyway, okay, the manger's an actual, yeah, okay. Well, it looks like a crib. I'm not sure crib is the right word, but like something you'd lay. While a bassinet. There's something.
Starting point is 00:23:05 He'd lay a baby in, yeah. Anyway. Yeah. Two hours later, the Roman soldier shows up, wants to know who's in the barn. And he goes, it's Joseph, son of Jacob from Nazareth, the carpenter from Nazareth. I think it's all going to investigate whatever.
Starting point is 00:23:22 But I was picturing modern times. If you fucking showed up and asked anyone I knew, like, who's in the manger? Rick? I don't know. He said he was from Nevada. Son of Sam. What I say.
Starting point is 00:23:40 I don't know. What's his nose? Son of, did I say Rick? Rick. Rick. He said he was from Nevada, I think. Son of Tim? He was a, I think, Uber guy.
Starting point is 00:23:55 I don't know where he were. Dober be zero. By the way, but they did that stuff. it's all a play. But they're doing it, you wouldn't write it that way now. Oh, no. Because if you showed up of all the fucking pot, everyone smokes and all the fucking staring at the computer, people can't even think, people can't think in real time.
Starting point is 00:24:17 Forget about two hours later, somebody shows up and you're on the tip of your tongue. You got Joseph, son of Jacob from Nazareth as a carpenter. You wouldn't have any of that. No one I know would have any of that fucking information. And then you lay on top of that what we're discovering about the fraud in our country. I am blown away by all that. I am, I can't believe it. I'm mortified by that.
Starting point is 00:24:41 Well, the part that's, the part that's really incredible. Well, it's all the NGO stuff. Yes. Well, it's incredible. It's also people who are you can't do that. Like, what do you mean? We have to do it. You have to figure this out.
Starting point is 00:24:54 What are you talking about? You can't do it. Can't, you were saying look into it? You can't look into it. Yeah. They don't want to all that. Yeah. You can't do it, as you could be saying, you can't do the fraud.
Starting point is 00:25:04 I see. I see. Yeah, you have, look, it is, okay, let's just really just break it down. How do you spend $24 billion on homelessness and not have any results? It sounds sort of mathematically impossible. You know what I mean? It's essentially like saying, I did $24 billion on home renovations and improvements. and then you walk into my house,
Starting point is 00:25:30 you go, this is the same shitty burnt orange tile from the 70s. Like, you go, well, I've done stuff. And you go, nothing's changed. And you go, there's a lot of it's administration. You know what I mean? Well, but let's think about that. I mean, something, look, is it? It's all opportunity for fraud, right?
Starting point is 00:25:49 Let me think of what happens in the Palestinians. In Malibu. You have to get through the Coastal Commission. And how much money is that going to cost? You have to get surveys. And it's still a soil stuff. They raised $100 million. in a concert and no one's got any money.
Starting point is 00:26:01 Right. And it ends up going to like political organizations. And then they give it back to the people that are providing the money. They're always on the left. It's incredible. It's crazy. It's crazy. But the crazy.
Starting point is 00:26:12 The right must have done it. They probably learned it for the right one time. And now people don't be. That's why they've been able to get away with it so long because the right is so unpopular. They're all doing it. They're all doing it. Of course the right does it. No, no, no, no.
Starting point is 00:26:27 No, not like this. Not right now. The crazy, the crazy part was all of it. Well, it's all, it's all crazy. But it's like people pay half their income and taxes and then have a bunch of people grift it. Yeah. And then somebody goes, I want to look into this and you go, I'm going to burn down that Tesla dealer.
Starting point is 00:26:47 Yes. That's really your thought. That's your thought process. It's weird, right? I don't understand it. Okay. I'm so fucked up about it. But I'll tell you this.
Starting point is 00:26:57 Hear me now. All right. Believe me. All right. Good. You have to be my Scott Adams from that one. He was kind of a predicted stuff. And you're it now.
Starting point is 00:27:04 You cannot have. What does your crystal brain tell us? Everything is dogs at the airport. You can't open things up and expect them not to be exploited. The kids, the kids now. So what do we do? You got to get rid of everything. Listen.

Take away the free lunches. Take away the free breakfasts. Take away all the stuff that's funded for the kids, that's poor kids. Just take away the free lunches.
Starting point is 00:27:49 And then you find me one kid that expired from malnutrition. The answer will be zero. They'll all still be fat and that'll be that. Get rid of it. We don't need it. going to start saying if you're going to invent something called a spectrum, you're going to invent something called spectrum. Is autistic spectrum we're talking about? The spectrum, you're calling everything's a spectrum thing.
Starting point is 00:28:12 Then no, we don't know where anything is anymore. There's no up and down. We need thresholds, yes. I have a son. You asked me, is he on the spectrum? Is he on the spectrum? I would go, no. Then you say there's $2,600 a month in it for you from the city.
Starting point is 00:28:28 Is he on the spectrum? I'm going to go find a doctor that will find his spectrum. They'll find his inner spectrum, and he'll be on it, and I will get $2,600. Am I a thief? Am I a bank robber? Would I put my hands on anybody? No, you offered a program to me to get $2,600 a month. And yeah, my son, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:28:51 You could make arguments. You might help him. Yeah, I mean, he's a little idiosyncratic. I close my eyes when people talk. Here is a piece of... Okay, I'm on the spectrum. Here's a piece of data that falls out of sort of business research every time, which is if an employee has an opportunity to steal, they will. That's it.
Starting point is 00:29:09 That's what you're talking about. And we want people to have character, right? We want them to not do that. Well, we got rid of religion, and we got rid of the golden rule, and so we got rid of the character. And we stopped talking. We don't talk about character. I know. I know.
Starting point is 00:29:23 I always talk about character. No one's to talk about character. I agree. Character gone. religion gone. And yet we have cameras everywhere and documentation. So listen to me. Now, look, the funding about the honeybees, sexual proclivities, whatever, that's in Uganda, that's $10 million.
Starting point is 00:29:43 Okay, that's easy. Cut it. Yeah. I'm talking about big government projects, big government dependencies that basically encourage people to have disability and state. home and do all the shit they dangle out. You know, with your, okay, we have a guy, if you don't think this is possible. All right, listen to me. You listening?
Starting point is 00:30:09 Yeah, listen to me. We're all here. We're all here. We have a guy who is Secretary of Transportation who's gay, who's fresh on one of the most important jobs in the world, Secretary of Transportation in the United States. that guy legally gets leave after adopting a kid. He gets paternity leave. Now, he's a dude and his gay buddy didn't shit the kid out.
Starting point is 00:30:40 The kid was adopted. That guy went home and used up all his paternity. Why? Because it was there. But think about it. The reason for paternity really is to help the woman recover from the delivery, right? It's two dudes. He's got one of the most important jobs in America and he went home.
Starting point is 00:30:57 So you don't think people are going to take advantage of this? Right. I think they are. Yeah, yeah. You give them the sick days. You give them the personal days. You give them the two months off the thing. They'll take it.
Starting point is 00:31:10 We cannot offer it to them because you cannot be trusted. And essentially what we have to say to the American people is you're going to get the same treatment that you got from your stepdad about wanting to borrow the car. But the last time you borrowed it, you wrapped it around a tree. And he's going to hold the keys and go, sorry. I cannot trust you to take this car out. You cannot be trusted. But here's the good news. You want to know what the good news is.
Starting point is 00:31:33 You'll feed your kids. Of course. But I want to know about the character part. Is that good news? Will people develop character? We have to have a new generation coming in with character. It's safe spaces and octagon. That's it.
Starting point is 00:31:43 That's it. We'll just be fucking living in the octagon with the hard workers. Is that the octagon of character? Oh, yeah. For the most part. Well, who you better, you better, you better. I want to believe that. You can get in the octagon.
