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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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...
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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?
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?
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.
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.
It's one of those brands that might only be 5% of your closet, but you'll wear it 95% of the time.
Literally every time I go on the road, I take these jeans.
They also have a new plush, brushed, quarter zip that feels luxurious, looks sharp,
and I'm told it might even be trendy.

All right
Is your Wi-Fi off?
I don't know.
It doesn't matter.
Andrew will look up Manger versus Bar.
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.
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
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...
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?
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
They slept in a manger.
Then look, you don't.
You get the Roman soldiers in there?
Here's what I'm saying.
Yeah.
Tim Walt.
All right.
So when Mayor Fry.
ding bat dumb shit fries up there talking about Tim Wallace.
He's like, kids wouldn't have free lunches in Minnesota.
Here's my experiment.
Take away the free lunches.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
All right.
Good.
All right. Tonight,
Grants Pass, Rogue Theater.
That's in Oregon.
And then also Midtown.
That'll be Midtown Ballroom.
That'll be the following night.
