The Adam and Dr. Drew Show - #2078 - Education Corruption with Jill Simonian + the Dissection of Recollection | Part 1

Episode Date: March 19, 2026

Jill Simonian from PragerU Kids joins Adam and Dr. Drew as they try to decode Armenian culture and talk about how Jill got started at PragerU. They dig into victimhood culture, corruption in California including Nick Shirley’s fraud investigation, the failures of the education system, government Covid messaging, and teachers unions, then react to Jim Jordan grilling Dr. Fauci and revisit the SoFi Stadium “mask between bites” guidance and Adam’s own run-in on a horse trail during peak Covid, leading to a conversation about pandemic-era narcissism.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

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 a choice, better get on mandate you. Get it on. Dr. Drew, board-certified physician, addiction medicine specialist. Dude. Jill Simonian is our guest for the first half of the show from Prager U. Parent Alert, the name of her show, Wednesdays at 10.30 a.m. Pacific time. Good to see you, Jill.

It's so good to see you. I know you know a lot, especially about California stuff. I'm nervous. So, I don't know. Well, let's start with this. She knows our friend Mark Garagos. That's good. Oh, yeah, she'd have to with that name. With that name. All Armenians know each other. You're required.

It's not in truth. No, they don't all know each other, but they all know Mark. Yeah, that's true. And she walked in, I said, I'm going to tell you something. And I said, I met Jill at the first Armenian fundraiser, I guess it was. For the Rose Parade. Yeah. I'd ever been to.

And I was sitting there and I was going, oh, my God, this is so familiar. What is this? The clergy is there making jokes and moving in and out of this strange language. And there's some of the jokes about business and family and a lot of business and family talk. And oh, that holy shit, this is the lost tribe of Israel. And she said. And I said, you're not wrong. I have been saying this for years, no joke.

There's something very familiar about. Noah's Ark allegedly landed on the mountain above Armenia. Mount Aright. It's the Bible. Armenians I'm split on in terms of the culture and them, I would say. Like there are certain groups I'm all in on, like Japanese. Love the Japanese, one of Japanese neighbor. Then they're Somalians.

Like not sure if I'd want a Somalian neighbor. Armenian's got a lot in the good department. They got some in the bad department, too. Okay, let me help you. How can I help you? Paco-Rabon, Armenian. The guy, first off, that's who he doesn't want. The guys driving the BMWs with the exhaust systems, throwing revs and scaring the shit out,

everyone walking their dogs. We got to figure out a way to get that out of the Armenian culture. We got to turn that into a Mark Gergo's Armenian. We've got to pull that out. Those guys, I was walking up in the hills. the guy came by at the BMW throwing revs. I mean, it sounds like you're in Monaco to F1 race. But if you're just walking and they go past you

and pop a few of those out there, it's BMW, it's exhaust system. It's, I don't know, with the revs, it's the downship. Not the down ship. It's like, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, you know, on the way down, fucking throw them in a gulac. But you're okay, but you're okay with everyone else who doesn't have all the pop off, you know, all that stuff.

Yeah. Okay, so then we're okay. We're okay, Adam likes, family and education. Okay, we're good. I'm good. That's where the split, you know, there's certain big smokers. I don't mind. Cigars?

Too much colognes are okay. Yeah, I don't know. I'm a little split. That's all on their amians. Okay, well, I'll be here to help you. You know, but, hey, by the way, for me, split is a win because there's so many other cultures, I'm like, get them out of here. We'll take it.

So, you know what, let's be fair. It's not having a split. Armo, I'm a three-quarter quarter. I'm on the happy. You're even hired in that, I think. Because those guys bother you so much, you don't realize how few there actually are. They're just loud and present,

and they're not that many of those guys. And they're on Brand Avenue. Yeah, but the bedside manner with the old guys behind the counter is a little, you know, what is? You know, like, they're like, oh, God, could you smile a little bit? That's the count on half guys.

Yeah, sorry, Drew. We're not getting up to seven eights. You're right. You're right. There's two surly. They're like the old middle-aged dudes behind the counter surly.

The armout. Not Gyrgus. He's not bel age anymore. He's one of a kind. Yes. All right. So enough with the army culture. I'll,

you know what I'll tell you? I'm going to do a, I might do a 13th-16th type situation with Dharma. Oh. And that's, and let's make it 1116. It's because you care.

1116s, but to the good. Yeah. Okay, so that's good because, but this is still an uphill battle for me today then. No. No.

You're in the good. Okay. He just had to express that to see if you can do something. Get it out of his body. And see if you can do something about those guys. You had the Mazda in the parking line? No. What was that?

I'm not going to say, put a target on my back. Was it a BMW? My lips are sealed. I'll never tell. Andrew, get under that car. Let's see if there's a cat back system on there. I want to know if she's throwing revs. All right.

So, Prager U. How's Fringer U doing? Preger is doing great. We're still fighting the good fight. Belly of the Beast, California. I was brought on five years ago after I was popping my mouth off on social media because of the California lockdowns. Marissa Strite, CEO found me, said, want to come work first and start kids shows?

So I did. And so now we have, I think it's like, I mean literally, I think it's like almost a thousand kids, videos, books, resources, lesson plans, all sorts of great stuff for kindergarten through 12th grade. Hey, will you guys please get behind Michael Gates for Attorney General? please. You see him, do you know what that is? No. Oh my God. We've got to hook him up with those guys. Okay. He's, he's...

It might already be in the works. There's a lot going on there. He was the city attorney that was suing, from Huntington Beach was suing Newsom over and over and winning. And now he's running for Attorney General. Okay. Well, there's someone else who's running for state superintendent in Chino Valley schools. She's from, she's a president of the Chino Valley Unified School Board. Sonia Shaw is her name. She's a personal friend of mine, but she's running for state. superintendent of education because California has gone after them so much the past few years because they've voted on and implemented parental notification policies.

And now she's running for superintendent. Well, listen, I love, I mean, you know you're doing something right when everyone always goes after Prager, you know, and I love, they're not an accredited university. Guess what else isn't accredited? All the junk in schools is not accredited. It's so weird. They feel so threatened by the truth. It's weird how threatened they are.

But it's also, I don't know, I'm really starting to lose a little bit of faith. Like Nick Shirley's going after all the fraud here, right? Right. He set his sights on California, right? And so, of course, he's uncovering all the child care fraud and all the hospice fraud. And then last night we got to get a tweet from the governor's office making fun of Nick Shirley. You know what I mean?

And it's like I'm now starting to realize I think we had a thing, like a parent. Like you have with your spouse where you go, like when I used to try to talk my ex into buying healthy food for the kids and she just doubled down on pizza and junk, but she was just doing it because I wanted her to do it. At you. Right. She was doing it at me. But I mean, as much shit as she was feeding those.

kids and as much as I was begging her to make them eggs instead of egg goes, I still would have said she is, she does care very much about the kids and she is thinking about the kids and she does love the kids. She's just approaching it in a way that's detrimental to the kids. Like, ironically, but she really loves the kids. I don't know what I think anymore about Newsome or California or the legislature. Like, I don't even know if they like it anymore. Like we used to have a thing where it's like, look, we both love California.

We want what's best for the country and for California. We're just having different ways of approaching it. Everything they're doing is destructive. So I don't know if they do. You know what I mean? Like here's a guy's uncovering fraud in your state, wasting billions of taxpayer dollars, and you're attacking him? Well, and Jill, you're a perfect person for this.

And part of that was, I guess, an Armenian mafia ring or something. And Newsom goes, it's racist, it's racist. Since when has anybody been worried about Armenians, you know, being singled out for racism? I don't think any search for truth is racist. And I'm the first person today. I love my heritage. I love my Armenian apostolic faith. I am, you know, born and raised Californian, Armenian American, fourth generation, fifth generation, depending on how you slice it.

I don't see any of this as racism because if you're searching for the truth and you're looking for transparency and you're trying to. to rectify stuff that's going down that's wrong for everybody. How is it? It's not racist. Well, I think we need. And that's what gets me. I hate the victim card when they say the victim. Do not get me started on the victim.

By the way, they don't think it's racist. They want you to shut up. Yeah. We need a new word like anti-Semitism for anything focused on Armenians. You know what I mean? That he's a word for that because it's not racism. It's its own thing. Yeah.

But what's really interesting about Jill, I just noticed, is she's so committed. What? So committed to the no-victim mentality. She's the first Armenian I've spoke to for 10 minutes that did not bring up the genocide. That's true. I can't laugh. You guys are going to make me laugh and then I'm going to get in trouble. It's a good point.

Where is that tweet? Well, I'll tell you something, though. Quiet, one sec. Tweet, I'm trying to get these guys to pull up the tweet. I was referencing. Sorry. Go ahead. Oh, I was going to say, in terms of what you just say, I'm the first person to not bring it at.

10 minutes. 10 minutes. My grandparents never brought it up, and it was something, I think, you know, semi-tragically, semi-acceptable that I did not know about that as a child because in my family, they did not believe in making us feel like victims first. And I remember when I was in college, I said, how come you ever told me about that? I asked my grandmother. And she said, oh, we were just so scared and frightened. And we wanted to grow up in America and move forward because it was so awful. That's the way a lot of immigrants from war-torn areas do it, at least in the Western, the Occidental Movement and the Eastern European movement. You know who is the worst? George Decay.

George DeKay can't walk four feet without bringing up the Japanese-American internment. And it's like, first off, shut the fuck up. And then secondly, okay, then I don't know, leave or move to Japan or something. We're so bad. But third, it drives me nuts. All that shit drives me nuts because that stuff, not the Armenian genocide, but like Japanese internment, had a context, which is we didn't randomly start rounding up Japanese citizens and putting them in an internment camp. You guys bombed Pearl Harbor and then we panicked and overreacted. But it's not, it didn't come out a whole cloth.

You know what I mean? And they just sort of treat it like we woke up one day and decided to round up Japanese. No, there's a little part where you bombed Pearl Harbor and then they freaked out because they didn't know who were spies and who won. So they rounded everybody up. And then they took care of them and then at some point they let them out. So it wasn't when you try to compare it to the Holocaust, Armenian Holocaust and all these other things, it doesn't compare, but it also had a context. I believe that just happened in California around COVID. Right.

I was imprisoned in my home. Right, right. Everybody was imprisoned. All the people, and by the way, George Takeda was cheering when you were locked down and where schools were shut down and where people couldn't go to work. He's such an asshole. Here's Governor Newsom's press office doing like a meme of. I saw this going around. I didn't even know what a minute.

It's hard to even understand what it is. Well, it's a weird one because, A, it looks like Edward Cisorhands. That's right. That's what I was thinking. Some sort of cartoon character. And or Jack White. It doesn't look like Nick Shirley, which is weird. So it's kind of mission not accomplished because you made a meme that doesn't really look like the guy, I guess.

But anyway, it's him covered with cameras going to a daycare center asking if he can see the kids. Yeah, because he wants to take pictures of little kids. That's why he's there. Well, he's a crazed man. Yeah. Yeah. Also, that's really not accurate representation of vlog equipment. Yeah, Andrew's a vlogger.

He doesn't make sense. He doesn't wear a camera on his head. Yeah. So here's what's going on. I mean, to make our point, this guy's uncovering millions or billions of dollars worth of fraud. He's doing your job, the government's job. You're supposed to have oversight.

But you don't. So he's doing this. and Tim Walls, governor of Minnesota and Gavin Newsom, governor of California, are angry at the guy who is exposing the fraud. They did that to Musk, too. Oh, right, right. They hated, they had, doge. By the way, can people, can they claw back their ability to think straight? Do you know what I mean?

No, they're brainwashed. Like, Elon Musk said, we're wasting billions of dollars. I want to go after the billions of dollars being wasted. And 10 minutes later, you guys were burning down his car dealership. You, you on the left, you who like electric cars. You guys have gone insane. And by the way, you've lost all credibility. It looks that way to me, too.

So I try to understand it. And I think what they convince themselves of is that there's no, Limited fraud. Fromm is not big deal. And we're just taking funds away from people that need it. Yes. Well, listen, they always put their weird spin on everything. Yeah.

Of course. But also, I don't know. What percentage of people that even fall under the category of needs it, as you said? Like, what percentage of people who fall under the category of qualify? school lunches, food, whatever, snap, whatever, could get by if it was gone tomorrow.

Would any of them die? They're all fat. They'd all fucking figure it out. How many of them would really perish? No. Well, that's wasteful. Even if you look at some of these school districts that are in well-to-do areas

where everyone is totally capable of getting their own stuff, they offer the kids free breakfast, free lunch, and I'm thinking, this is a waste of money. It's a total waste of money. And it's worse than a waste of money, though. It's a decoupling of parenting responsibility.

Yeah, that's exactly what it is. By design, by the way, I think. Yes, their entire raise on debt is getting the parents out of that. It's the most bizarre. By the most presumptuous thing ever where you just go, we'll do the parenting around. You fuck-ups, you hacks, you dumb shits, they're going to be doing the parenting? It's the most astonishing thing in the world to me that other people want to tell many others how to live their life. That's just shocking to me.

Oh, forget about live your life. We'll live your kids life. We'll raise your kids. We'll raise your kids. Money. We'll do everything. We'll take care of. We got it. We got to take a break, speaking. We got it. All right. We'll be right back. Hey, this is Adam Carolla from the Adam Carolla show. Well, if you care about predictions, you care about props, and nobody does props.

All right, yes. It's such a horrible impulse. And that's why I keep telling everyone, take note of every politician during COVID who snapped into action to take over your life, to live. the beaches and bulldoze, put the sand in the skate parks. But people have amnesia. They do. But they have amnesia. I would argue the Epstein thing.

I don't even know if they knew it in the first place. Right. And Epstein is bringing it back up where you see their plant. All this stuff was percolating with Epstein and his cronies. This is their utopia. They're ready for this, right? Yeah. Isn't that we see in the files?

Yeah. It's awful. Yeah. I recently got a note from a friend of mine who did this, you know, COVID reaction thing. And it was like they still hide behind. that we didn't know what was going on and I have a family and I'm trying to okay first off coward

secondly pussy thirdly coward pussy but how come I knew what was going on why didn't you go find out what was going on you fucking pussies you sat home and watched CNN all day and where's the apology because everybody wants apology that is the apology

the apology is here's the apology is as we didn't know what was going on. We did our best. We did our best. We didn't know what was going on and pardon me if I wanted to protect my family.

So that is not an apology, number one. But by the way, you don't owe someone an apology if you were just trying to protect your family and you didn't know what was going on. You know what I mean? Like if there was a big noise in the night and you woke up everyone in your family said, I think it's an earthquake and you ran out in the front lawn

and it turned out to be an armo driving a BMW. No, but I'm saying you wouldn't owe anyone an apology. It'd be like, I was looking out for my family. I was wrong, but I didn't know. I just heard, I woke up to the sound of a loud noise. I would accept, excuse me, for being wrong. I would even accept that. They don't go there.

They weren't wrong. They go, the information we had. Right, ma'am. And I'm trying to protect my family. And my thing is, yes, the information, you had because you hived yourself off and watched CNN with your Santa Monica gay friends all day. And you never went and found out why they're deplatforming other people. You never asked any questions.

So yes, the information you had, true. Same information you had on Russian collusion and same information you had on Hunter Biden's laptop. Same you had on everything from CNN, you idiots. But that's what's wrong with you. Whenever you see suppression, siop, that's it. And the information, but I will say this, though, just to clap back, the information that was available, it was 0.0001%. They just ignored it. They ignored it.

The information was there. They just rejected it. They would have had to seek it out because it wasn't being fed to them. They would have had to get off out of their feed bin where they're being sloped by CNN and MSNBC. and Fauci and Biden. They would have had to get out of that and explore just a little bit. Because it was out there, but they didn't

look for it. By the way, it's all out there. Half the shit they say about Trump's on tape. They just won't go look at the tape. Right. I've had to apologize to him for not having jumped on his wisdom earlier. But what got me out of it and it was not too far into the pandemic was curiosity.

Like, they're canzing this guy bought a church. That guy's a smart, do you? I wonder if he has something. He must have something to say. What does he have to say? And you talk to these people, you're like, oh, Jesus. What a mess. And what got me out of it was my husband, surgeon, came home three weeks after all the lockdowns, and he goes, we're not doing this anymore.

It's over, yeah. And I was standing in the kitchen. I go, what do you mean? What do you mean? Nope, we're not doing this anymore. Surgeons got to it early. All my surgical friends were early. No, no, it's good.

No, that's all. That's all I'm going to say. He said, I'm not doing this anymore. I'm going to, he got, he had his information from the hospital. He saw some of the underbell. of the things that we're going on, the many-changed hands. He says, we're not doing this anymore. I pulled my kids out of our

renowned public school, which you are very familiar with, Adam, because of this whole thing. Good. I know. The teachers' unions won after me. It's terrible. They're horrible. Horrible. And by the way, they went after me too? I used to go to school board meetings and yell. I'm ashamed to say I did not know how to conduct myself

very nicely back then. But I was so mad. Would not be... Did you point out of a point? of honor. It is now. I revisited the whole Fauci Jim Jordan thing from July

or August 2020. You watch that now. You're like, oh, look at Fauci. Just sit there. You saw that. You picked it up. You noticed it right away. It was a weird thing.

Now it looks like. We go watch a couple minutes of that. Now it looks diabolical. Pull a minute of that up, Chuck. Or Andrew. It's insane through the lens of six years later. five and a half years later, when you watch it, you go, oh, look at a little Fauci squirming and lying the whole time.

Yes. Is this August or July or August? Look at a big gap in his. 2020, of course. Yeah. July 2020, I literally, I know exactly where I was. We were driving to the Burbank Airport from here. And I was screaming at everyone in the car.

This guy's a fraud. This is bullshit. He's shown himself. And everyone just sort of was like, nah. And Adam, shut out. Watch Fauci lying about Black Lives Matter. Thank you very much.

Chairman, Dr. Fauci, do protest increase the spread of the virus? No bad. Do protest increase the spread of the virus? I think I can make a general statement. Well, half a million protesters on June 6th alone. I'm just asking that number of people, does it increase the spread of the virus? Crowding together, particularly when you're not wearing a mask, contributes to the spread of the virus.

Should we limit the protesting? I'm not sure what you mean should how do we say limit the protesting government limit the protesting I I pause he doesn't know he doesn't know what's going on now you don't know what the question you don't know the question he's asking yeah crowds are no good yeah protests are back should we limit it yeah doesn't know doesn't know what's going on it's confused yeah doesn't understand okay keep going it's great I'm not sure what you mean should How do we say limit the protesting? The government limit the protesting?

I don't think that's relevant to... Not relevant. You just said if it increases the spread of the virus, I'm just asking should we limit it? Well, I'm not in a position to determine what the government can do in a forceful way. Well, you make all kinds of recommendations. You make comments on dating, on baseball, and everything you can imagine. I'm just asking you, you just said,

protest increase the spread, I'm just asking you, should we try to limit the protests? No, I think I would leave that to people who have more of a position to do that. position to do that. I can tell you. Government stopping people from going to church, Dr. Fauci. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He's like, okay. He's corrupt. I know. He's corrupted. Yeah. And I saw it in 2020 and I said no more listening to this guy. He's a corrupt piece of shit who's bought in and weaponized this and turned it in some sort of

Biden, you know, campaign whatever. And I said, he's out. And Drew went, he's pretty good guy. I said? I said he was so helpful during the AIDS epidemic. I'm hoping he'll return to the mean. Get him back to where he's supposed to be. You didn't know he was this far gone. Now you can see he's gone. He was captured right there. I'm starting to wonder why I thought he was good during AIDS. Maybe there was some stuff there too. You watch his tape and you go, oh, that guy's completely captured. Can't answer it. Also, he's kind of dumb because. No, no, no. Here's what I'm saying. He's feeble.

No, no, look. No, no, not fee. He's playing. He gets feeble when you start asking him questions. He doesn't want to answer. Like, oh, I don't, I don't, no, I don't know. No, he's not, he's doing an interview with fucking Newsweek 10 minutes later. He's sharp as attack.

He's not feeble there. He's playing daughtery, dumb because he doesn't want to answer the questions, number one. And then all of a sudden, it's when smart guys pretend not to know anything. Always look out for that. Number, number one. and then pretend like he doesn't have any power over anything. No, when I'm saying he's dumb in the sense that, like, Kamala Harris is dumb. Somebody asked her if she'd been to the border.

She didn't have an answer. She had to know she was just made borders are. That's going to come right up. Just go, not yet, planning on it, let you know when we do. Done. He could have just said, look, any big gatherings are bad. And I don't care if it's a Christian group and I don't care if it's the clan. any big gatherings, bad.

Yeah. Whether the government prevents that, I don't do. That's up to them. But I will tell you that if I don't care if it's a ballpark, a clan rally, or Black Lives Matter, any big gatherings are bad. That's good. You defuse it. You're covered. I'm now flashing on.

By the way, he couldn't say anything about Black Lives Matter. That was what happened. I'm now flashing on that guy that was the popcorn czar at the Super Bowl for its sofa. Does he still have a job? I don't know. I don't know if it was Simon or Simmons. I can't remember. We're on to you.

That guy was the worst. Yeah, from SoFi. I hope that douche is out of a job. Somebody contact me, said they worked it so fine. The guy was a douche. It was happy that I made fun of him. No doubt about it. Sorry, Jill.

Anyway, Jill. That's your show. What's up on your show? What's up for your show? They told me, hey, you're going to sit with Dr. Drew and Adam and I go, well, what are we going to talk about? I don't know. They talk. You talk. You listen. I go, okay. What's the question?

What's my show? I don't forget it. Right. No. I have a weekly live stream called Parent Alert. Back up, though. I'm the face of Prager You Kids. Everybody go to prageruKids.com. PregeruKids.com. Subscribe kindergarten through 12th grade

educational videos teaching about civics, financial literacy, our nation, our American values, all the things. How kids need to learn to be critical thinkers and to know our history. Bite size. Like six minutes. I don't know how long all the Prager You stuff. I've done, I don't know, five videos.

They're all five minutes or six minutes. It's short. It's easy. This is for kids. So not Miss Rachel. No, it's not Miss Rachel. There's a couple series where I read stories to the kids about our American values, American holidays.

We have to get them appreciating America. America's made all these terrible mistakes in the past, but guess what? We're still the greatest nation. teach our kids. The other side of my coin is that I host a weekly live stream called Parent Alert. It's on every Wednesday's streaming. Prager You's YouTube, Instagram, 1030 a.m.

In the morning, Pacific time. We talk about all the issues. I would argue 75% of the Prager You stuff for adults, kids can watch because A, the content is clean. B, it's always has pretty basic, you know, straightforward. graphics. You know what I mean? Like, you know, they'll illustrate things. See, it's not, most of the subjects are not complicated, you know, and I'm not talking about a four-year-old. I'm just talking about a 10-year-old. Can watch Prager You and watch most of the content and definitely learn something about the Panama Canal or Teddy Roosevelt or whomever. It's

pretty straight and digestible. I use the videos as trailer. so to speak before my kids before we do movies. I go, we're watching a trailer. Is it pranker you? Yeah, you got it. It's Pranger you. But you got to feed their brains

with something of substance because I'm tired of this TikTok crap for these kids. I'm tired of all the garbage. The kid, we're breaking our kids' brains and my children are tired of me saying that. I have two teenagers. We're breaking their brains.

And I'm sick of it. I listen. I go back to Door the Explorer. And I was like, what a piece of shit. this is. Like, this is empty, wow, wow, wubsy and all that stuff. I was like, this is junk. They're not even poisoning the kid's brain.

They're just feeding them empty calories. You know, that was just like sort of junk. Russ Simmons. Is that right? Yeah, so far. Yeah, that was a Russ. That's our favorite douche. Russ Simmons.

Yeah. He's a so-vi COVID compliance officer. Oh, well, he should not have a job anymore. It'd be nice if that guy. was out of business like they put tin horn flats out of business. All right, Jill, one last plug, Prager You, Parent Alert, and that's live Wednesday's 1030 Pacific, 1030 a.m. Pacific time. And I'll spell the last name with the Instagram and X and everything.

It's Jill, S-I-M-O-N-I-A-N. We'll take a quick break. We'll be right back right after this. TV has thousands of free movies and TV shows. You swear. If I'm mine, I'm dying. This is the mindset. Free.

This is the mantra. Free. This is the... Movies like Interstellar, Dreamgirls and Gladiator. Why are you detained? And TV shows like Survivor, SpongeBob SquarePants, the fairly odd parents and ghosts. Pluto TV is always free.

Hazzah! Pluto TV, stream now, pay never. The perfect gene. I used to hate... jeans, stiff, tighten the thighs, loose in the waist. Yeah, I'd be counting the minutes I could get home and rip those damn jeans off. The perfect gene is the first pair I put on and went, oh, damn, these actually fit and are comfortable. I can sit, I can stand, I can bend, do the whole day without the crush nuts thing,

constant adjusting, or feeling like I need to unbutton after not to. and beer. They've got a ton of fits and washes so you can find something that works for your actual body right now, not the one you had in 1995. I always wear these things on stage. They're that comfortable. I honestly wear these more than anything else in my closet. And I'd 100% recommend grabbing a pair. Am I right, Daphne? Our listeners get 15% off their first order plus free shipping at the perfect gene. NYC or Google the perfect gene and use our code Adam and Drew at 15% off. All right, Drew, what's on your mind? Well, a couple things. I want to revisit Russ. Russ. And play his tape just to make sure we properly shame him for the behavior around

the superiors. Well, we've done a few times, but it's good to do it periodically. I never forget. You know what I mean? It's like, let's revisit Norambert, which there's nothing. It's under my scale a little bit lately. Well, the thing that was funny about Russ Simmons, I think it's Simmons. I think it's Simmons. Or Simon. Who cares? We don't know. We can figure it out.

It wasn't, in a weird way, I think you and I react to that douchebag the same way because is it Simmons or Simons? Sorry. We don't know. I think it's spelled Simons. Simons. That's what I thought. All right.

So, Russ Simons, we're reacting to him, the SOFI health director or whatever, because in Drew in my mind, the poster child for every fucking douche who was wrong about COVID, which is enforcing a rule and being a sanctimonious prick with glee at the same time while telling you to do something that made zero sense. Right. So at Sofi, they will sell you a pillowcase of popcorn. Yeah. And by the way, they must love it because they.

They sell it to you for $14. It probably cost them $0.80 for the fucking pillowcase of popcorn, right? So they love the concessions. So he's saying they're going to sell you this popcorn, but when you watch the game, you can't take all day to eat it, which is, okay, first things first. The reason I sell popcorn at movie theaters is the movie's two and a half hours long, and they sell you a tub of popcorn and you nurse it for the entire. movie. Nobody eats popcorn like they eat a piece of pie, you know, where they just sort of go at it

and 10 minutes later, there's nothing on the plate. Popcorn in general is meant to be nurse, but his thing is, like, you can take your mask off and then take your hand and put it in the sack and put it in your face and then put it back down again. You can do that, but don't do it in an efficient way. Like, first of all, what's the rule? So here's a pillowcase of popcorn. I have to eat it in eight minutes? No, it's put your mask up every bite as though that's meaningful. He's not saying that. All right, let's hear it.

He said, don't, he says, he says they're on to you. Don't milk it. Okay. Here's Russ, douchebag from so far. Hopefully he's out of a job. Russ doucheback. Can't hear it. Always a, oftentimes a sound issue.

You've mentioned that. I want to say always. Yes. Here we go. The protocols include a mandatory mask requirement in the stadium for everyone two and years of older, regardless of their vaccination status. I'm required to wear a face covering in the stadium in the tailgate areas except while actively eating and drinking. And that doesn't mean buy a bucket of popcorn and eat it for two hours. Actively eating and drinking.

We are on to you. All right. By the way, all last I checked. as far as tailgating goes, it's only eating and drinking. Right. So to wear a mask to say, look, first off, it's insanely unenforceable because you go like, we're at a tailgate. Yeah.

What are you doing? We're drinking beers. We're eating barbecue. Yeah. That's all you do at a tailgate. Yeah. So when would the mask go on and how would one enforce that if you're fucking holding a rib in one hand and a mickelope in the other hand, what's going on with the?

a mask. Right. What is going on at a tailgate where they could justify getting someone in trouble for not wearing a mask? Yeah. Tailgating is just eating and drinking. And then you go in and you get a tub of popcorn. And let's keep reminding yourself, the entire conceit is insane.

The mask is insane. The pulling it down to eat and then thinking putting it back up does something. Russ has a gator on right now, by the way, that he's not wearing. And the games were proven to be completely worthless. Yeah, let's watch it one more time. Now, what years this from? Is it before the Super Bowl? Yeah.

Oh, God. Black people love the mask. It's weird. They wore it. I guess they, I guess the mask with black people is basically, would be in line with voting Democrat. Yeah.

Like, 80% of them vote Democrats, so that much higher wear a mask, I think. So it's a black one. Anyway, here's Russ. the protocols include a mandatory mask requirement in the stadium for everyone two and years of older, regardless of their vaccination status, are required to wear a face covering in the stadium in the tailgate areas. Pause.

I can never figure, pause. I can never figure out the vaccination thing. You got to get vaccinated because you're putting me at risk or something. Their fucking vaccination math never penciled out, right? I got to get a vaccination because I'm putting you at risk who's vaccinated. But you have to wear a mask anyway because the vaccine, huh? You're vaccinated, yes, you're safe, right. So why do you got to wear a mask?

Why do I got to wear a mask? You're vaccinated. For me, for you? Wait, I got to get vaccinated because it's dangerous to you who's vaccinated. It's right up there with mask up in between bites. It never fucking made any sense. and no one, well, not no one, but not nearly enough people went, what the fuck are they talking about?

Right. All right, so I keep playing Russ, doucheback. That is. Required to wear a face covering in the stadium in the tailgate areas, except while actively eating and drinking. And that doesn't mean buy a bucket of popcorn and eat it for two hours. Actively eating and drinking, we are on to you. The staff is on hand to remind people to mask up.

Mask up. All right. See a lot of these. You can pause. This is Kabuki retard theater. Am I right? Charles? Yeah.

When you, Chuck, when you look at this, Andrew, look, it looks, it's retard theater, but it's only five years old. Yeah. Yeah, it's insane. It's insane. It's dystopian. It's dystopian. We lived it. And it's like it doesn't make any sense.

No one fucking raised your hand and goes, I don't what the fuck you're talking about, you old retard. The whole world is in. None of this makes sense. Jesus Christ, what the fuck is wrong with everyone? I'll tell you what's wrong with everyone, Drew. They got off the farm and they went to the cubicle with the air conditioning and their brain fucking atrophied because this kind of shit doesn't make any sense to anyone who works outdoors or does anything with their hands. They look at this and they go, I don't know what the fuck this guy's talking?

What are you in between bites? Two years old? We're going to check ID for a two and a half year old? You know what I mean? Yes. Or you're going to just eyeball kids and go, that kid looks like, that kid looks like he's like 27 months. Arrest him.

Jesus fucking Christ. By the way, it's not Russ's fault. Russ is a weak, sad instrument. You know what I mean? He just got, he wants to get paid. And he's a douche, but he wants to get paid. It's everyone else's fault. No one should ever listen to these people.

I am proud to tell you that when Mike August and I traveled during COVID with the mask, before the plane took off on more than one occasion, the stewardess or flight attendant took a knee in front of us where we were sitting and said, what don't you understand about these masks? What don't you understand about me telling you to pull the mask up? I will throw you both off of this flight. Before we pushed off, Drew, we got that sweet. Do you know how many times people told me to pull my mask up?

Whatever it is. Several hundred thousand because it was never up. Because I was like, fuck you. And Drew, obviously the greatest moment of your career, is me on the walking trail. Oh, it's the best. That's the best. I can't do it justice, but we're talking.

He's on the horse trail, you know, out of doors. The trail's closed. There's a police essentially murder yellow tape across these horse trails. Nobody's around it. You're just walking through nature. And Adam's talking to me. All of a sudden, I hear him say, I don't know, where's your mask? And I go, what's going on?

He goes, some douche over here wants me to wear a mask. And what's in what I'm doing on the horse train. trail. Now, he didn't ask about a mask. He just wanted me off the horse trail. He didn't, I thought I heard you say, where's your mask? You didn't, you don't get it, Drew. That's why Drew fucks up every story.

Yeah, I do. This guy wanted me off, and you weaken every story, a little bit. He wanted me off the horse track. I did get that part. I know that. He did not say anything about a mask. I see. Because why would he say something about a mask if he wasn't wearing a mask?

No, no. Drew, you fuck your story. You know what you do with your story? You fold it in and it gets blurry. I've told you a story 2,000 times. He wanted me off the horse trails. But he didn't have a mask. So he got out of his car and started coming after me

because I dared to be on the horse trail alone. And when he started coming after me, I told him to go get his mask. And it stopped it. He stopped. And he was like, what? He was like 12 feet away from his car. and halfway to me on the horse trail.

And he's like, what are you doing on that horse trail? And I said, what are you doing without a mask? And he was like, you shouldn't be on that horse trail. We closed the horse trail. I go, go get your mask. And he was like, ah, a mask's probably in the car. And then he said, horse rail's close. And I go, go get your mask.

And then he didn't know what to do. And then I told him, do you remember? Do you remember the end joke? The tank traps. Okay, well, okay, that's a nice telling of that joke. Tank trap. Well, he said, why did you, why did you make this? Why did you really make this?

Essentially, he said, why don't you make it so no one can come on this trail, like on Omaha Beach and put up the tank traps? That's right. Tank traps. I want to make sure I got that part right. You know, tell the story. Did you call it a tank trap? Yeah, I said, but Omaha Beach.

Yeah. Mine, you know, put the tank traps up. Yeah. And that was it. I told almost everyone to suck my death. And he kept walking. During COVID. Now, to be fair, I probably stood there and watched him drive away.

And then I went down the horse trail where they put yellow tape in front at the head of the trail. Police tape. But the thing that was comical is you can't really tape off. a trail. No. Like, it was like two posts, five feet apart. They put it around that, but there's four feet on each side of the post. I mean, you just walked around.

Most houses along the trail had access to the trail, too. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I just walked the horse trail. By the way, best place you could have been during COVID is walking on a horse trail and 100 degrees. But I do remember later you getting irritated that you would, when people, again, re-entered the horse trail later, they'd wear their masks on the trail. Listen.

So dumb. I don't know. You know, people said, you know, who cares? And I was like, who cares? We're fucking losing our civilization because of your retards. That's behavior. This is 1935 behavior. You've got to look at that.

Look at what you would have been. Well, who knows what other brainwashing will sweep in here. You're prone. Yeah. Oh, you're mushy and malleable. And we can get you to do fucking anything. Like you've all become sort of man. Chyrian candidate lights.

You know what I mean? Like you're not going to assassinate the president, but you'll fucking do the bidding of anybody. Well, the really interesting thing to me is that the people that were swept into this look at Trump supporters as being those brainwashed folks, which maybe they are also. But it's everybody is prone right now, it seems to me. I don't know. I mean, I get what you're saying.

They do think anyone who supports Trump is brainwashed. That much I get. but who's the real victim of brainwashing, the people who masked up in between bites? I mean, like, here's what I'm saying. Yes. I've said this a million times true. Getting somebody to do something or to support someone or candidate or Trump or whoever, when the ask is pragmatic is not you having dominion over that person.

Yes. There are many things that, let's just say, the state of California has a seatbelt law. Fine. Put your seatbelt on. It's statistically much safer for you to put your seatbelt on. And I put my seatbelt on because it's safer and because it's the law. That's fine. It's a good idea. Masking up in between bites doesn't make any sense. So it means you are captured if you do that. Meaning, and I've said it a million times, telling your kid, you know, if you want to be in control of your stepson, telling them, you know, Tuesday night, you got to empty, you got to bring the garbage cans out to the curb for your allowance. That's parenting, saying you got to take

the garbage cans out to the curb and then walk around the streetlight three times and sing Old Man River and then come back in the house. That means you're just doing it for Dominion over him. Yeah. You see what I'm saying? Shutting down the beaches, it's just you flexing your power. It doesn't do anything. Mask up in between bites doesn't do anything. That's you just flexing. It reminds me. Putting your seatbelt on makes sense. The other central moment in this kind of phenomenon I had with you was when I was standing at the D.C. airport and you went, oh, my God, they got the Pope to say that there's no such thing as a man and a woman. Well, look at how it's astonishing. Look what they've been able to do. That was all.

Yeah. It's all capture, everyone. And I don't know. I think it's the narcissism. And the reason I say this is there's kind of two kinds. There's a couple kinds of narcissism. There's the Donald Trump, I'm so great, you know, narcissism. Then there's the ultimate narcissism. That's the Jim Carolla narcissism, which is I do whatever I want,

whenever I want, and I don't do anything for anyone else, right? Which is sort of an ultimate. Like, I'm not fucking paying for shit. I'm not doing anything. You want a ride to go to Teddy Lewis's house under the day? I don't feel like driving you there. So we shall sit here. You know what I mean?

Like, it's just I won't do anything I don't want to do. But there's another kind, which is everybody who didn't speak out about COVID was worried about what people thought of them, which is a crazed narcissism because I would constantly say to people, who gives a fuck? about you. You know, no one cares what you think about you. You know, I mean, there were so, most people I knew were not that fearful of COVID, but scared to death that people would feel a certain way about them.

And my thing was like, I don't give two shits what people think of me if I'm right. Yeah. And they were afraid of the mob, too. Well, yeah, yeah, but that's what I'm talking about. But that's a narcissistic thing, which is me. Me, me, me, me, me. No one, who fuck cares about you? Middle age, housewife, whatever, and recita.

You know what I mean? Nobody really, you care, but no one else even knows you are. Yep. And that was the weird, that's the ultimate narcissism. The strange soil that was tilled upon which this seeds were planted was this notion that everyone in this country was beginning to feel so guilty. Like, I'm part of a country that's bad. I'm part of white privilege.

I'm part of male toxicity. I'm bad, I'm bad, I'm bad, I'm bad. But I'm a good person. So a good person cares, and I care about climate, and I care about protecting other people. So I'm good. Right. It's such a weird perversion of reality. So I see how it happened now.

All right. This Sunday. I'm going to be in Santa Ana, the Jordan Family Classic cars with the Paul Newman collection over there. I think Jay Moore's coming out. I'm giving a tour of all the cars. And then Norfolk, Nebraska. District Events Center. That'd be March 27, 28.
