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 that judgment. I'm going to get on. Dr. Drew's board for the size citizen.

It's addiction medicine specialist. Mm-hmm. Yeah. So we've not talked about the Epstein situation. Oh, yeah. And you know what I was thinking about that, that you and I might see that nobody else sees? To me, it just looks like a continuation of the 70s, number one. And number two, I don't know if we talked about this, but I really feel strongly that Hugh Hefner was doing the exact same thing.

He was just using different pullies. He was using women and sex and, you know, but it's the exact same deal. And to me, it's all so reminiscent of the 70s. You know, although Epstein went all the way down into the CIA and other things. But I don't think you have to do that. But this idea of just using women, using sex, using money was a very, very common sort of thing in the 70s, and people don't appreciate that.

Mm-hmm. You know? Yeah, yeah. No, and it was... It was gross, and it was not... It was sort of endorsed in some weird way. Well... Remember kids had kids or sexual beings, too.

They're just a little, you know... Remember that? That whole era in the 70s? They're... And all the songs in the 70s about essentially raping 14-year-old girls? We made love in my shivvy van in that. Yeah, that's a child abduction. Yes.

Raped her by a lake and then dropped her off barefoot. By the way, barefoot. Yes. In the middle of town. Your buddy Springs Dean had some songs like that too. Yeah. Well, okay, there's a couple of things. They didn't have to even make them underage.

No. but they did. Because that was cool, man. That was cool. That was cool. You know what, Andrew? I'm going to ask you, here's a movie. Andrew's a film aficionado.

Oh, boy. Yeah. It's code for didn't excel at sports. My son is a film aficionado, too. That means a lot of not participating in sports and a lot of beating off. at home. But we'll call you a film aficionado. The movie Foxes with Jody Foster. Yes. Did Andrew see Foxes with Jody Foster?

No. Okay. Quint Essential 70s, young girl makeup, sunset strip, going down to Gazari's or the whiskey with a fake ID or knowing the doorman. Oh, man. She was Foxy. I mean... Foxy meant young. Way do you see...

And I don't know who produced this. I'm going to go 1975, 1976, which was the height of the power. Adrian Lynn, 1980, oh, is 80. All right. It seems so 70s of foxes. I call that... They did a few of these movies. They did...

Oh, God. I'll think of the other one. There was like... Well, there was a bunch of... Angel by day she's an honor student at night she's a prostitute like she's a high school student by day yes and

Brooke Shields would have been a bunch of these things remember she was a 12 year old prostitute yeah yeah yeah but if you watch the trailer to Foxes you're gonna you're gonna see it all right right there and Andrew's not seen it though

and I think was this Jody Foster's like when did she get into films Was it the early 70s? Well, this is after taxi driver. This is after taxi driver. She also played a young prostitute, right? Yeah, she probably got a 13-year-old prostitute. Like, it was a thing in a weird way.

Maybe the Exorcist helped. Oh, yeah. She had like a young girl going, fuck me, fuck you, and all this kind of stuff. And a nightgown like the whole time. It was like a 12-year-old girl or whatever. I mean, meet Jeannie, Annie. Madge and Dirdre. Not exactly the girls next door.

Hey, anything you want, baby? Not from you. Slime. They move to a beat all their own. Wow. Their foxes. They're looking good like foxes. They dare to do what others dream of.

Moving out. Hold on. I'll pause it for a second. This is voiceover guy. I wouldn't exactly call him. Go ahead. What's what the joke? Why do you got to...

Sorry for participating. No, don't. Now, don't! How? Don't you turn yourself to a fucking victim. I go, this voiceover guy and you go, well, are that? Well, what are that?

Well, what? You got to let me finish the joke. And don't do the victim bullshit. No. I did not know you were... You didn't know. I go, Paul. and I go, this voiceover guy, and you go, Will Arnett?

I did not know you were going to go with Will Arnett. I wasn't going to go with Will Arnett. I was going with a joke. Okay. But you wouldn't let me do it. Okay. All right. That doesn't matter.

How would I know it was going to be a joke and not just a commentary? I'm making a, I go, this voiceover guy and I'm about to say something. You say something, but it would take you. I can't you yelled into the microphone three times. is what I'm saying. Look, if you're having dinner with somebody, yes. And somebody goes, you know,

my wife and I just took a cruise to Ecuador. Let him say where he's cruised to. That's all. Doesn't mean. And then you go, I didn't know you were going to tell it. I didn't know you were to tell a joke. No, it doesn't matter if I say anything. I go,

This voiceover guy sat and then you jump in. There is a... The guy at the table wasn't telling a joke. He was finishing his statement about where they took a cruise to. There is a back and forth in conversation that you do not tolerate. You were not talking. I was about... I was going to say something.

Okay. All right. Keep playing. By the way, he sounds nothing like Will Arnett. I bet I was reminded of the Will Arnett. Okay. Play it from the beginning. Say if anyone, close your eyes, see if you hear Will Arnett.

The beginning. Meet Jeannie, Annie, Mad, and Dirkville. Not exactly the girls next door. Hey, anything you want, baby? Early, a pro-dronal. They move to a beat all their own. Watch it move. Watch it. They're foxes.

They're looking good like foxes. They dare to do. What others dream of. Moving out. Finding a place of her own. Oh, you know, it's not just for you. My mother would love it. What?

You look like kids, but you don't act like them. You're short, 40-year-olds, and you're tough ones. Learn to pass. It's going to be love. It's going to be found. A certain point. You forget your mom. You know, when you go out in the world, it gets scary sometimes.

Learn to laugh a little. Is this day with you tonight, Annie? Scott Pets. Stick to the bill. Because you never know what you don't know, you know. Teenage dopers. What a waste. Drunken, narcotics?

I don't like your friend's dating. What's her name? Who was it? God, she's from... Oh, Randy Quaid? Oh. Is that Randy Quaid? Yes.

Oh, my God, it's right. Okay, sorry. Randy Quay. Do you really love me? Is that the girl that died of drug... How is she's lower. You're high school. Jody Foster.

Scott Bale. Sally Kellerman. Sandy Kellerman. Randy Quaid. They dare to do what others dream of. Their foxes. You know what's interesting. They're in high school.

What's interesting is the movie, there was that series about the drug addict kids on HBO Max or something. I'm blanking what it was called. Yeah, I know what you're talking about. Yeah. Euphoria. And that was the same group of kids, right? And in the euphoria, it's like, these are sick kids acting sick.

These are cautionary tales. People die. Not in the 70s. That was cool, man. Oh, yeah. This is what you strive to do. And the adults take advantage of those kids because they're cool. The kids want to be adults.

They look like kids, but they're adults. Well, let's think about something, Drew. Drew. You tell me if you remember. They had pants for girls in my junior high that were like hip-hugger pants that showed off the camel top. Yes. Those are 14, 15-year-old girls, and you see the shape of their vagina. And these pants were designed essentially for that.

That's a pretty weird ritual for society to participate in. Would you say? I'm telling you, everything went off the rails in the 70s. We've gone into an area that, who the fuck imagined this? But it really started then. I think we were in full, okay, you want to know? Yeah. We were in full dude think power back then.

Like, you know, it was like, look, Hugh Hefner. Hugh Hefner was, here's the play. Here's how the plan works with Hugh Hefner. You attract women from podunk towns, little nothing, Nebraska, little places with one streetlight, one stoplight. Okay, that's what you do. You attract them to come to L.A. at age 18, 19, whatever, and then they stay with you. in your giant manner

and then James Kahn shows up and fucks them in a grotto. That's Bill Cosby. That's fun. Then you invite your celebrity friends over and then you have them dance around and roller skates

and then later on James Kahn fucks you in a jacuzzi. And we were like, that guy's living on top of the world. Scott's greatest life. You got to remember we brainwashed the women. Like you're now, this is empowerment.

This is really being empowered. Because you're just like James Lime. You're just same as he was. Whatever that was, that was full-blown dude thing. Yes, that's how dude think goes out of control. Peter Bogdanovich. Yes.

Peter Bogdanovich, Andrew knows. Last picture show. Because he didn't play organized sports and he, oh no, he's a film aficionado. That's right. He loves film and not being picked for team sports. Now, he's a film official.

What's something? A film of me. He didn't get back to the other. Okay. I'll do the translation. The point is this. Peter Bogdanovich starts dating Dorothy Stratton.

Like he's seeing on his married or as a wife or he's showing up at the fucking Playboy Man. She sees Playmate of the year, Dorothy Stratton. So he starts banging Dorothy Stratton. Dorothy Stratton gets executed by her husband or boyfriend from Canada or whatever. Comes over here, Star 80, like straps her to a. chair blows her head off with a shotgun, right? What's Bogdanovich do?

He moves on to Dorothy Stratton's younger sister. Brilliant. Starts dating the younger sister. Genius. No problem. No judgment. He's in his 40s, I'm sure, at the time. Hey, he's a director.

That is, and well respected. Okay. So that was dude thing. Man, that was all dude got his way. Think. And we decided there was something wrong with that, which sure was. So we swung it to. chick-dick. And now we're living in chick-dink. And chick-dink was going to solve all those problems.

It did. Right. It just created a ton of other problems that we didn't anticipate. Right. Right. He's getting the balance right always, you know. Yeah. He started a fair with 21-year-old Sybil Shepard while he was married. Last Picture Show. And then he married and he was 32 years old. And then he moved on to Dorothy Stratton, who looked like a playboy version. of Civil Shepherd, basically, is what it is. And then he moved on to Dorothy's sister, who was living back in Canada, who was maybe at the time, like 16 or something.

I don't know how old she was her day. Dorothy Strand was like 21 when she died or 20, so your younger sisters. Yeah, teenager. Yeah, but that's all right. Bogdanovich got out to Alberta and hooked up with her. But we started this conversation. I don't know.

Sorry, sister's dead. Anyway. Let me console you. Well, I mean, really, what was the Bogdanovich Dorothy Stratton's sister story? Because that's pretty fucking insane. Yes. If you think about it.

But again, we were endorsing that shit. Right. So this is how we lived when guys make the rules. And Los Angeles is how we live when women make the rules. Yeah. Right. And by the way, the 70s was what the guys make the rules when we've newly unleashed any restraints on sexuality

because of the birth control pill and antibiotics and things and people would do it with the L.A. want. And that was cool. Right. And little kids were just like little sexual beings. 16, so what? You saw in the Fox's thing. They look like kids, but they're acting like 40-year-olds.

Yeah. All right. I don't need the Dorothy Stratton number because I got that number. She was 20 when she started up with Bogdanovich. It's the sister that's interesting to me. Little sister. Oh yeah, the little sister

No, he didn't want some old bag, 23-year-old You need fresh blood But that was the teen You know, we don't realize We were adolescents and we were the We were the sort of the The victims of all this

Yes Well, I don't know if I was a victim of it But I certainly didn't get to participate in it Listen, I've said it a million times You ready? Yeah. Best time to be a lot You ready, Chuck?

Best time to be alive in this nation's history. Pre-AIDS mid-Koke. EADs didn't exist. Coke was good for you, and you did whatever the fuck you wanted. All right? Then Coke was bad for you, and AIDS killed you, and there's no more fun. Pre-AIDS, mid-Coke was the greatest time we've ever had in this nation's. When did you graduate high school?

82. But I didn't have any money. So I couldn't participate in this stuff that people participate in. Louis Stratton was also 20 years old when she began her relationship with Bogdanovitch. Well, so he says. I mean, we have to figure that one out. Oh, Peter and Bogdanovich, they married in 88. The little sister.

Yeah, and divorced in 2001 because her mom had another child. I just wanted to hop on that. Oh, my God, Drew. I was sitting around watching the USA hockey dock the other night. And they were going back to, oh, 1979, 1980, and the worst economy and the gas prices and the long lines. And I've told you a million times, I graduated. high school into no jobs and no, no anything, and huge inflation and anything. And I was the worst, I had, you almost wonder if like people, like you go, like, you wonder

if the gods were conspiring against me. Maybe the worst time to graduate is like 18 in the middle of World War II or something where you get gobbled up. But I, you know, when my son, and daughter graduated, my son, film efficient, I don't, he didn't need to go to college or anything, but he could work at the In-N-Out Burger for $22 an hour. Everyone was always hiring

all the time. I see these stupid truck driver stuff on the back of semi hiring, 50 bucks an hour, you know what I mean? Nothing like that. I graduated high school. I had no college, there was no college, went to the fire station, they told me no white people, and I literally

just walked around to liquor stores and supermarkets going, you need a bag boy. And they were like, no, we're not nothing. No hiring. There was no job. I was mowing people's lawns with a push mower, not a power mower, a push for like five bucks an hour. Most of them don't know what that is even.

I know. There was not a job. Yeah, I know. And there was nothing to do. I remember. And if I was going to college, maybe that would be one thing. But I was just sitting in a garage with no air conditioning. rotting going, I need a job.

But let me tell you something. And by the way, white guy, strong back, played football, do anything anytime. And I could not get a fucking job like moving furniture. Here's what's interesting. Here's what you didn't do. You didn't blame your parents and your parents' generation for ruining the economy for you. You didn't go out and say, we need to change the system. It's capitalism. That's the problem. Right. None of that occurred to you. No, I just, it would occur to me as I didn't have a job. Got to find a job. And I needed a job, and I would take any odd job that anyone, someone wanted to talk to me.

Down the street from where I am right now was a place where you just load it up art, put it in a van, drove it to Santa Barbara, set it all up on easels, like cheap, weird sofa-sized paintings. Yeah. And then at the end of the night, take it all down, load it back to the van, drive it back to this place, and unload it like three in the morning. I'll tell you one thing I learned, though, from that. But we'll do that right after this. Hey, this is Adam Carolla from the Adam Carolla show.

hey, my brother-in-law's moving out of his apartment. And you want to help move, I'll give you $40. You know, just on a Wednesday, just okay. I just show up, you know, move shit, you know, painting offices in Century City, you know. I would do anything, anything. So I came down. I passed this place all the time. right by here.

And it's a big warehouse where they have, I guess I would describe them as paintings that you'd see in cheaper hotels. Yeah. In the lobby. Yes, yes. Back in the day. Now everything's cool and it's like Kia

and we're all cool now. They don't really even know what you're talking about. I know. They tried to class it up. They're almost like prefab paintings. Yeah, big gold frames and stuff and whatever. And so me and my buddy, John, had to load them all in the van.

John, then Gillingham? Yeah, had to load them all in a van and take them to, like, Ventura County and unload them and put them all on easels. And then people showed up and they auctioned them off. And, you know, the ones that didn't make it would go back with us in the van. The amount of times I spent sitting in a van at two in the morning, like just moving people and loading shit up and doing, that's all I did was move. stuff. How did you get out of that

to the construction sites? It was probably I would reckon about a year after that I get a call on, I mean it could have been a Sunday night, but it was

it could have been Monday or Tuesday or whatever. Anyway, I get a call from John Gillingham. And he goes, hey, I'm on a job site and they need labor. And I go, what are they okay they go just one day though just one day's work i said okay and it was like seven bucks an hour i go yeah okay you go where where's the job it's in silver lake it's up on the hill

dr faginbaum's house up in silver light and they go uh okay what time we have to be there seven a m i go okay i don't have a car or anything i didn't know where to go you know whatever he go, I'll come pick you up. It's driving a stepdad's VW van. I'll pick you up at, you know, 620, 615 or whatever. So, you know, get up my garage, go out. 615. Yeah, I don't have, you know, gloves or hat or eye protection or mask or nothing.

I just walk on my T-shirt and my jeans, you know. And it was that Silver Lake House. And it was one of those houses. Silver Lake is weird. The streets go up. the living room's on the first floor with the kitchen, and then you go downstairs and the bedrooms downstairs because it's on a hill.

It's always on the side of a hill. And this house was covered in ivy on the hillside. The ivy went all the way up the hill and all the way up the side of the house. And to get up to the street, you'd have to take the thin cement stairs that just ran along the side of the house down the hill. Later fell out the window.

But, and I just walked up and they're like, all right, labor, guy, you just, you're going to be taken Ivy down on this, to pull it off the side of the house and then like bundle it up and drag it up the side of the building, the stairs, and then throw it in the dumpster on the street. And I was like, okay. And the Ivy's disgusting because it's covered with soot and filth, you know, like it's got rat droppings and all the junk. but it's also 20 years of smog and dirt and so it's it's clinging to the house you know so you're pulling and pulling it pop off and then you just hit with a mist of soot and shit and I'm sweating my ass off you know there's no mask or goggles or gloves or there's no anything and there's no

hefty bag or I'm just I'm pulling it all the side of the house wrapping up and I'm dragging it up the side of hill but I'm I'm a fucking billy goat I'm I there's no sitting. There's no, I'm going to check my phone. There's no, hey man, I'm taking a break. Where's the hose? Where's the gatorade? I'm just fucking working. And the sun, nonstop.

Like a fucking mule. Dragging the shit up. You know, by the time we're done with the day, I probably got the whole house stripped, you know, of Ivy, you know? And then, of course, the guy just goes, I just come back

tomorrow. Yeah, they know. They notice when you get shit done. Yeah, I fucking work like, I work my ass off. I fucking never sat down. I never stopped. I was so scared. I was like scared someone was going to seem it. Sorry, I'm scared they're going to see me not working for a millisecond.

Yeah. So guys say, yeah, come back next day, come back. Before you know it, you know, two weeks has gone by. And I'm just kind of part of the crew. at this point. Is this the place we fell off the scaffolding? Yeah, under the stairs. Well, it wasn't really scaffolding.

That was the problem. It was pretty makeshift. Jerry rigged. It's another word we use in front of rigged sometimes on the construction site that I won't spare you guys. But I do remember after like two weeks, get my paycheck. I got my paycheck. And I remember going down to like contractors discount. in like North Hollywood

I was making $233 a week or something working like 50 hours a week just digging. We're just digging ditches. After that we got on footing patrol and all jugged by hand. The worst. Under the house. Under the house was part of the footing

and in front of the house was part of the footing. So you're either in the sun or you're in a hole underneath the house. But I did that. I mean, you're so far in, you had to use a sawed-off shovel and fill a five-gown bucket. The guy had a rope. And pull the rope up. And it would hit the side and you'd get showered with fucking dirt.

And you were already sweating your ass off. So you'd have to hose. I would take a full hose shower before I went home. I was so covered with shit. And I went down to contractors discount or whatever the place was. It's kind of pre-home deep. boat, but it was like that kind of place. And I, like, walked in there, and I must have talked to one of the guys, and I was like,

what do you need in your bags, you know, you need a chalk box for snapping lines. You need a construction pencil with a keel, which is a crayon, stuck to the other side of it and a little rubber sleeve. I don't know if you can picture what I'm talking about. You know, 25-foot Stanley tape measure, maybe a combination square. shit, I don't know, torpedo level, whatever, a couple, an all, a punch, a nail set. Different things, by the way. Anyway, punch an all might be the same thing.

Ah, no, no, no, nail set's different. Anyway, don't fucking set a nail with an all or a fucking punch. I know I sound like Chuck, but there's something called a nail set, and that's better, and they're different sizes, but anyway. And as I go into contractor's discount with, like, my first paycheck, and I get a Sears, I get a skill saw, high point saw, worm drive. framing saw. Everyone had the same shit.

And I go, all right, I get the saw. I got my whole shopping list of what I need. And then I, like, show up the following Monday with my tool bags and my, my saw. And my former is like, hey, you got your tools. I was like, yeah. And he goes, all right, you got your bags on? I go, yeah. He goes, well, take them off and get in the hole.

And I took the bags off and I got back in the fucking hole. Sure. And I continued to dig. But I was like, I want to get out of the hole and into the house with the carpentry as fast as humanly possible because this is hot, it's dirty, it's dangerous, it sucks. And I want to get inside with Rick and be working on molding or something. Anything, you know, anything but this. This is fucking shit. How long did it take?

It was probably, when the digging was done, when the digging was done, I was done. digging and then I was able to get in the house and I you know it was probably four weeks or five weeks or something. That's a long time to dig though. It seems like a long period of time. And I got in the house and they kind of hooked me up the guy named Rick who was like the Finnish guy. And these guys were, you know, $15 an hour guys.

And they drove, you know, four F-150s with like lumber racks and a lift kit, you know, and some knobby tires and stuff that like going to the desert and shit. the riding motorcycles and stuff. And they were good dudes. Like there were just dudes, you know, some of them, a little better sense of humor than others. But they were like kind of fun, kind of funny, like kind of fuck around guys, blue collar kind of sense of humor kind of guys. Like good dudes. Like, you know, like when Trump does those things where he goes, I like these guys.

I like sound. I know the guys he's talking about. They're the 1,000 percent opposite of whoever you saw at the Grammys. Yeah. Right. Whatever you saw at the Grammys, whatever, and I'm not saying you shouldn't like those kind of people, but I'm saying, I'm not, I'm not making a judgment. What I'm saying is they're the 100% opposite of those people.

So if you like these guys, you will not be able to fucking stand those people. You see what I'm saying? Yes. And they're whatever the opposite of, I don't know, Mark Marin is, there's like a thousand percent different than those kind of guys. and I always liked those dudes. They were like, you know, they could be a little dicey sometimes. See, the one had to twist things the opposite way before you went the right way?

Yeah, that was Rick. We were out motorcycle riding in the desert and I was trying to get something threaded. It was like getting cross-threaded. And, you know, this morning I took the lid off of a mayonnaise jar, but I turned it counterclock before I turned a clock to tighten it because it gets it seated. I do that to this day. Think about it all the time. Yeah, that guy, Rick, just talked.

Everything I learned, I just learned from those guys. And they just go, I don't mean, sorry. Not everything I've learned. But what I'm saying is, in the world of house building, I learned from these guys and guys like Tom Johnson and guys like that. They would, they, everything was a tip. They were ultimate pragmatists. Ultimate.

Yeah, they just go. This is what works. When you run something through the table saw, when you're ripping some pre-coded vinyl through the table saw, the bottom of the cut comes out cleaner than the top because of the way the blade's going or whatever reason. The bottom's cleaner. So if you're going to use it, flip it over, that'll be your edge.

You know what I mean? Do it upside down. Yeah. Just that's all, that's all they did. Everything was a tip. Everything is how you do it. No manuals, no school, no class, no books. Just one dude.

There's a little older who's done that shit. It's apprenticeship. Yeah, more and happy. Medicine is a lot that way too. I got news for you. How to tell you to do everything. And it's all fine. And by the way, there is a million things to do.

So it's all different. And these guys will help. And once in a while, they'll go, oh, I do a coping joint on my inside joints when I'm inside 90s when I'm doing baseboard, which is literally like instead of 2.45s, if you can picture 245s creating a 90 inside like on a baseboard. Some guys do a coping joint, which is they run the one baseboard all the way of the wall, just butt, just stop flat. And then the other baseboard, they'll just chop it at a 45 on the on the chop saw sliding compound and they'll get a coping saw it's a little thin

like a band saw and they'll cut the the shape of it so it fits so it literally fits on there which is like a little bit cleaner but you got to do it perfectly but it also takes a little bit of time because you got to cope it you know but a 90 kind of works but if the if it's off a little bit they'll be a little bit gapy. It can be a little gapy. And so some of the stuff you go, ooh, coping joint guy. But then you can kind of go, I'm going to do the 90. The 90s just a little faster. And it's whatever. But I get it. It's judgment. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I'm not saying your things wrong. But you learn so many things that you learn five different ways to do everything, which is interesting to me. I mentioned medicine and you mentioned Trump. And I want to put those things together for a second,

talk about something I quickly want to touch on, which was his executive order about addiction treatment, which I am so enthusiastic and relieved about it. I just want to do two minutes on this, which is... All right, well, hold on. Yeah. We've got to take another break. And then, and also, I want whatever that cereal thing you were at Raisin Brand or whatever you were talking about.

Will Shatt. Start the new year off with tempo, nutrient-packed meals that are already cooked and ready in minutes. Fresh, chef, crafted meals right to your door. Medi in just two minutes. Genuinely tastes great. 20 new recipes every week, nutritious. and making eating healthier so much easier.

Rules and restrictions may apply. All right. So he, this, I don't know what's in the executive order. And I've called some people in the government. They're like, oh, we don't know what's in it. But what I love about it is the authority structure he's put in place. Remember I used to go to North Dakota and help out with their addiction programs? That was Doug Bergam and his wife and his wife. Governor Bergman. What did I say? They said Doug Berg. Yeah, that was the governor. Governor North Dakota. Everyone doesn't know the name of the governor. He's now the Secretary of the Interior, but they put his wife, who's a recovering alcoholic. with RFK Jr., who I've been supporting since the beginning, and a lot of it has been around his addictive ideas. Those two are now in charge. Now the head of SAMHSA, which the Substance Abuse Mental Health Services Association,

who's a guy named Art Klein Schmidt, who's also a long-term recovering guy. So now in all the positions of important leadership, you have people who understand this fucking disease and how to treat it for the first time. Well, what about Trump's policy of pain and intimidation? Yeah. Because he's a thug who just wants to scare people.

The opposite of that is Mom Dami, letting people die on the street because they're living their best thing. No, I know. I'm just bringing this example. It's like he gets people and he goes, you're going to work on the economy and you're going to work on additives and food and obesity. And you're going to work on addiction. And you're going to work on infrastructure and airlines, safety, and travel. And he gets a bunch of fucking subcontractors who are good because he's a builder. He's a builder. So he gets all these people around them.

He does them. And then you turn on CNN. It's like his policy of pain and abuse. What's he doing? He's only trying to hurt the innocent. Like, it's like, are you guys so, are you so wired in such a like sort of 10 cent head kind of way that you can't even put, putting savings accounts together for newborn people so they can have something to try it? Like any of this stuff, does any of it get through? No.

Or is it just all, all bad. He has a policy of pain. Trump derangement. And abuse. It's a delusional disorder. I know, but what's in it for him is what I'm saying. Why get elected? He's going to make money.

He needs poor people to suffer. Yes. Okay. Yes, he's racist. He doesn't care. Oh, that's right. He doesn't care. No, no, he does care.

He wants to care. What do you mean? He doesn't care. He cares greatly. He wants to inflict. He wants to intimidate. Did you see Hillary Clinton's thing? He hates people that are poor.

She wrote another article that put into long form the basket of deplorables, essentially. So he essentially writes out now in more descriptive prose how horrible anybody is that would follow him, how awful they are and what their intent is, their lack of compassion. Let me just say this to anyone who may be a detractor or nayser. I don't worship at the altar of Trump. I live in Los Angeles. And our state, parts of our state and our city were burned to the ground by incompetent

management of the fire department. the aqueducts and the forestry. Okay, so let's just, let's just do this. Yeah. Forget about the border. Let's forget about ice. Let's forget about building a ballroom or moving an embassy. Well, forget about all of it, all of it, all of it.

People live in Los Angeles. Los Angeles was horribly mismanaged by a Democratic mayor and governor, and the mayor wasn't even, she was in Ghana during the fires. Okay. Everyone else, Rick Caruso, had his fire team on his premises three days before because they got the weather report and they knew what was coming. So he had foam sprayed onto the roof of his compounds before the fire camp. The person he lost the election to, Mayor Bass, first black woman. She was in Ghana. She thought that would be a good time to go to.

Representing, not governing. Thank you. representing, not governing. So she had the weather report that Rick Caruso had, but she went to Ghana. Anyway, she didn't cut her trip short and come back or anything. She went to Ghana. So that's what she did. And then Newsom mismanaged a forest, created way too much fuel, aqueducts were empty,

and everything needlessly burnt to the ground. Okay. Then Trump came in a week later, and he said, let's expedite the permit process. Let's get it moving. People want to rebuild. And they said safely, but don't worry we're going to expedite everything. Okay. Well, then a year and a month has gone by and there's no permits.

So now Trump is threatening to come in and take over and handle the permitting. Now, you live in Los Angeles and you go, I hate Trump. Do you want to rebuild your home? And do you think Trump wants to do this? Or is it because it's not happening? It's all those things like, Trump can't come in here and take over. If you guys did it, then he wouldn't do it. And if people could walk safely through the streets of D.C. at night,

then he wouldn't put National Guardsmen there. But you guys don't do it. You mismanage your cities, and now we get this. And you go, oh, this is just an intimidation of show force. All right, you make all the optics you want with the military and the police and downtown and ice. This is not. This is permitting. This is paperwork. This is paperwork that you guys cannot handle and do not care to handle. And so 13 months on, some outside force must get involved. Now, okay, and he's evil and he intimidates, but he also wants to get people permits.

Okay, let's just do both. He hates poor people and he hates Mexicans and he hates Mexicans and hates black people, but he loves permitting. And I need a permit. So is that okay with you guys? And also, you reject it all the time because it's shame, because he's doing your fucking job. You understand? And he's shaming you because you will not do your job in your own city. And so you're angry at him.

Go find a fucking mirror. Figure out why there's so many illegals fucking up your city. Why there's so many homeless people dying in your city? streets and why taxpayers can't get a permit. Go ask yourself, go ask the man in the mirror that question and stop being so fucking angry at Trump. Yeah. Thank you. Yeah. No, I absolutely agree with you. And this is, it's an odd situation to be in where reality is denied all the time and pragmatism is fought against. And you're right. It could be an easy fix. I look at the homeless thing because I know something about that and it'd be an easy fix. Yeah.

If ideology were not in the way. It would be easy. It's hard if people think it is. Yeah. And no, you're, Drew, you're right. Well, I was saying a different way. I would always say these are processed people. Yeah.

And what do you say there? What did I say? I can't remember what I said. No, you can't. It's just I asked you. I thought I called them. If I asked you, you can't say. Are they processed people?

Is that what you were saying? Yes, they're processed people. I think you call them something else. Well, that's what I'm trying to remember. I only don't know because I ask you. Said it four times in the last hour. Oh, I did? Yeah.

Well, the anti-pragmatist is what I call them. They just... What we drew... Oh, representing, not governing. That? Yes. Okay. Well, you just keep saying.

They're representing. They're not governing. Yeah. And I always said they're processed people, but they're... You're right. You're more accurate. They're representing. That's they want to do a thing where they do a show and they do a thing.

And it's a... chick-think thing, but they don't want to do the permits because that's fucking boring in the aqueduct and the shit. That's the trash. That's all junk. They didn't sign up for that. Yep. All right.

Speaking of sign up, do you want to see the William Shat? I do, but Hillary Clinton's article is called Maga's War on Empathy. Oh, yeah. They love talking about. Empathy and compassion. Yeah, why not hate, but why not love?

Can't we love? Can we stop hate? I don't know what love or hate has to do with Aqueduct, maintenance, do you? No. Nothing. All right. So anyway, she's going to write an article in the Atlantic about it. She ran for president 12 years ago. Why are we talking about her? Look, at best, she's a kook with retarded ideas. At worst, she's a full-blown criminal. Either way, she shouldn't be listened to it. Well, the fraud thing, we didn't even talk about the

fried stuff yet. Or the Epstein stuff, right? Let's see. Will Shet. Will Shad here bringing fiber to the masses with Kellogg's raisin breath. Duty calls. Will Shat? Every darn day. Whoa. Will Shad in the house.

It's fiber time. Is that Doc of Shih Tzu? Perfect. Will Shat on the car! It's good, right? Yeah, right? And it's him. That's what I like.

He's 90, 40. now or something, right? Oh, yeah. He looks great. Oh, yeah. And he's in on the joke always. I've had, listen, I will say this about Shatner. I...

Will Shatt in the house. Sorry. That's funny. When you said Will Shatt, I didn't know what you're talking about, but now I know what you're talking about. I would describe it's the Will Shatner commercial. But it's about Will Shatting. Will Shatner.

No, I know. I get it. But I didn't know. If I said the Will Shatner, commercial, they may not have any idea what I'm talking about. Oh, please, Raisin Brand. They listen. All right. So you were saying this about Will.

Stop. Movie efficient out of us. All right. I went, I did a thing with Will and there was like a break in between. And we sat and had dinner for an hour and a half. And all he did was ask me questions. I think he's better now than he was in his mid-80s. He's got amazing.

I'll tell you, I'll tell you something. He literally just asked you everything about, you know, it's funny? He says, I had long conversations with him, too, and he says, I'm a curious. I'm curious. I wonder to know everything about everything. I get it. At the end of this meal, you know, an hour in, I looked down at my plate and all my food was there. And that doesn't happen. I get the food to fucking eat the food, you know.

And I realized he was going. I was going, well, I grew up here. And then I got out of high school and then I tried to get a job. And then I went on a construction site. And then I ended up being a car. It's amazing. He said, he's like talking.

He's like talking. He's kept that. And then what? Well, how'd you meet Jimmy? Well, I was working as a boxing coach. And then I was a carpenter. And then I met Jimmy when he was at the radio. And he's, oh, Jimmy was at the radio.

And I'm, oh, he's eating. Yeah. And the other thing I remember from that dinner is it was funny. He's 90, you know, at the time, he was like 92 or something. Yeah, I think he's 94 or something like that. So he goes, we're at a nice place, you know, a nice-ish place. And the waitress like comes by and goes, anything to drink or something. I think I had to work or whatever.

I got an iced tea or something. And he goes, I'll have. a beer. And she's like, Bilsner, IPA, double IPA, you know, whatever, whatever the new moon, blue moon, June moon. And he's like, a beer. Because people need to just order a beer, right? Whatever beer, you know what I mean? Schlitz, Mickalow, Budweiser, of course, you just order a beer. He's old school order beer, dude. He's not, you don't get the beer menu now. It's a whole menu. There's 35 beers. You can, like, sample them and stuff like that, bring a flight of them over.

And he was just like, uh, beer. But, uh, yes, curious guy. Nice guy. 94. Yeah, you're right. It's probably 90, 91 when I was with him. Incredible. I wish that for everybody.

You have what he has in terms of vitality and interest and engagement. I got to tell you curiosity. I talk to so many people, I think more women than men, but men are pretty bad too these days, but I'd be curious. Like I do find more women less curious than most men, but I don't know how to parse it out. Like I would say it's more of a male trait, but plenty of women have it. But if you're not curious, you're fuck. you really are. Like I don't know how to explain it.

I mean, it's the genesis or the impetus or the sort of the kernel of learning. I was saying it's forward movement or not or lassitude. Well, it's also a thing that can be used. Like I was just watching the hockey doc, right? And that game, that Winter Olympics 1980, Eric Hayden was the big winner. He was a speed skater and he won five gold medals. and I remember Eric Hayden. And so I was watching the thing.

And I said, let me check on Eric Hayden. I got my phone out. Well, he was also competitive cyclist. Makes sense. So then I was doing a radio interview this morning. They go, you know, stand up, radio, your radio stand up. But it's not quite standup, but it helps us stand up, like having a radio. And I just went, well, Eric Hayden was a speed skater and he was a cyclist.

So what's he, they're not the same sport, but what do they both have, big quots. Right. And that's what radio is to stand up. and stand-up is to radio. But the whole point is, it's because last night, I was just sitting in front of the TV sort of forming.

Because you were curious. I was curious. Right. All right. Naples, tonight and Saturday night, a couple shows sold out, but a couple tickets left.
