Episode Date: March 26, 2026

 Adam and Dr. Drew open the show talking about people who feel compelled to point out others’ insecurities, and Adam shares the odd way he found out Dr. Drew’s daughter is getting ma...rried. Drew then tells a story about a woman who died on a flight, before Adam pivots to a young woman killed by an illegal immigrant in Chicago, ranting about crime in sanctuary cities and reacting to politician Maria Hadden’s explanation for the incident.

Starting point is 00:00:17 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's show. Yeah, get it on, got to get on. Drew's board for a season. Hey, Drew, I was driving in. I'm looking up at the boards as Nebraska, and then Lincoln at some point on Sunday.
Starting point is 00:00:47 But anyway, the guy said, you've been to Lincoln? And I said, well, not? I said, yeah, but it's been a while. Yeah. Because I realized, I don't think I've done stand up there, but you and I have went there on our college tours, right? We spoke in the Johnny Carson. Remember that?
Starting point is 00:01:03 Walked around back of that Johnny Carson State or theater at University of Nebraska. Would that be, what's their other city? Would that be Lincoln? Yeah, it's in Lincoln. I think. No, no, there's another city. Omaha. I think it's Lincoln. I think it was Lincoln. All right.
Starting point is 00:01:20 So, yeah. And that was a fun event. It was like 3,500 people in that damn thing. There was nothing else to do in Nebraska at that time. Yeah, it's kind of an interesting thing what you remember versus what I remember. Not so much in your recollection, my recollection, but what you choose to remember versus what someone else chooses to remember, which is I don't remember tons of stuff. And then there's other stuff that's very vivid to me. But why vivid to me and you don't remember at all? And then why stuff you remember?
Starting point is 00:01:57 Like, I don't remember going around back. I don't remember Johnny Carson. It makes sure there's a Johnny Carson theater at University of Nebraska. I might be, it might have been Kansas. We went to a lot of places. Well, he's from Nebraska. Okay, so good. And maybe from the Norfolk area where I'm going to be.
Starting point is 00:02:16 Wow. I just remember, I also remember the sort of, it was kind of late winter, sort of bleak, or maybe it was early fall, late fall or something. And bleak and dusty, and we've checked into a hotel. I'm like, wow, it seems like the only hotel in town. Yeah. And Johnny Carson Theater there. Johnny Carson Theater.
Starting point is 00:02:34 Yeah. I had no idea back then, like even how to travel or pack or do anything. I didn't know what I was doing. It's also, so here's another subject. But listen, let me just. quickly to say about the, the, um, two things about the, the, the, uh, what you choose. What you choose is usually what has meaning or what has emotion attached to it. And then you rehearse it.
Starting point is 00:02:56 Yeah, yeah. You have to rehearse it to remember. Yes. Another thing, uh, people are making note of my red face, which you haven't looked up at me yet, so you wouldn't know. I've saw it. But, but, but I, I know you would see it if you looked at me. Uh, no, I saw it.
Starting point is 00:03:08 I have a, I'm very sensitive about pointing things. out to people and I I I I there are people and there are lots of them yeah and they'll walk up and they'll go wow look at that Zit where'd you get that Zit you know what I mean are you asking what are you asking what happened where did I get the Zit you want to know where I got the Zit or what about the Zit how that happened I'm telling you yeah you know who these people are close cousins to Children. Yes, they're children. Right, they're children.
Starting point is 00:03:47 It's how children think. You know who they're... Hey, you're fat. Right. They walk up to cars. They find a ding in the side of your car and they go, what happened here? Okay.
Starting point is 00:03:59 First off, is it going to be that fantastical a story that you need to know? I went to a fucking Costco. I went in when I came out. Somebody hit it with a shopping cart, evidently. Yeah. And the insurance won't cover it. That's what happened. Okay.
Starting point is 00:04:14 Are you, are you scintillating? A piece of meteor broke off when I was driving through a volcano. It's a fucking ding in a car. Do you need to know what happened? What happened? And by the way, you forced that person to relive this shitty thing in their life. That's part of the impulse, I think, too. Yes.
Starting point is 00:04:36 When me and Mike August were staying at Nick Santora's house, Nick's Lex has had a thing in the fender. You know, we walked out and Mike's like, what happened? What happened? First off, could there be anything less interesting than you've got to ding? Your fenders pushed in. Did you give him shit? What happened?
Starting point is 00:04:56 I did. I yell at everyone. I wouldn't know what he said. I went to know. You want to know, it's going to be a long life for you. Just every parking lot, you're just going to walk around. And then Nick had to relive this story about his daughter borrowing the car and he just got it detailed. and, of course, she backed into the...
Starting point is 00:05:13 And now Nick felt like shit. Because he had to relive this thing. Yeah. Yeah, perfect. Yeah. So, anyway, so I don't ask anybody about anything. So I want to explain it because the fucking social media will have notes. I had a big skin cancer, remember, on my forehead, and they announced that that surgery
Starting point is 00:05:30 that I'm going to have to have this treatment every four months... Oh, my God. To prevent kids cancer. But they didn't tell me I'd be fucking disabled for five days. I got about three pounds of makeup here. because this looks terrible. Oh, my God. What happened?
Starting point is 00:05:45 Yeah. Cancer. Why? But what happened? Sun plus old, sir. There's a dent in the back of your Porsche I saw. What happened? Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:05:56 What happened? I can tell you. I remember it. It'll make me feel bad. Oh, man, Chuck, what's wrong with you? What happened? Oh, my God. What is happening?
Starting point is 00:06:09 It's horrible. This feels bad. for your car and your face and Nick Santor's car. I feel bad because I don't know what. Thank God we found out what happened. Somebody got the car and hit something. That's what happened. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:26 What happened here? Yeah. Now, you're right. My buddy Ray used to fuck with people and then it was a way to have dominion over people because you'd go, what happened with that's it? You know, and you go, oh, is it that? Oh, yeah. And then they go, oh, man, I know.
Starting point is 00:06:42 And they start like apologizing. And next thing, you know, he was in charge of the conversation, you know. So there is that. There is a child's naivete. Either way, it's not an evolved thought. No. No. It's sort of, if people thought about it before it came out of their mouth, I'm not sure they would do it.
Starting point is 00:07:00 That's proof positive they're not thinking about anything. It just comes out of their mouth. I take it too far, though. Because I'll go. You going too far. I'll go, how's it going? And I'll go, I just buried my dad. And I go, there you go.
Starting point is 00:07:14 And then we move right on. Because I don't want to get involved, Drew. I know I'm sitting here with a pumpkin face and you just get looking at your pad. I'm not saying it work. But it's also, but you do do a version of this. I do? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:28 Well, I do it sort of clinically. You do the hot mic. No, no. You do the, where'd you get that shirt, like into the mic thing, which is like, I don't know. But Woolworths. You know where that came from? That I know where it came from.
Starting point is 00:07:42 It came from back in the day We were doing anti-radio radio Which meant we didn't do any announcing We just whatever came down on. Whatever was going on the room, we brought it on the mic And I got too good at that, evidently, where I can't stop. So I'm trying. I'm trying.
Starting point is 00:08:00 All right. I have, I don't do anything about anybody. You want to know why? you start asking about people's kids. One of them's in rehab. And then we're there. You know, now we're going down a road.
Starting point is 00:08:20 You know what I mean? And also people will fucking overshare. You know, they'll tell you about the kid who's transitioning and when it committed suicide. So you know, I don't want any part of those conversations. It's interesting.
Starting point is 00:08:32 I'm going to maybe put words in your mouth. You tell me if this is accurate. We used to do with British bands and things where we would have people sharing on the radio show, these very, you know, delicate personal matters. The bands would go, this is personal. I don't do that. The British people don't talk about personal matters.
Starting point is 00:08:49 That's not what's freaking you out. What's freaking out is they're wasting your time. You don't really want to know. You don't want to know. Your daughter's not getting married, is she? Yes, I told Daphne. Oh, you. That was her.
Starting point is 00:09:01 Okay. Well, oh, Daphne asked. Daphne asked me where the, where the, I'm going to fulfill the story. I will. Daphne asked where the. How smells of your wife? Maybe the residual on my daughter. Well, I keep getting an email that says Paulina and Steve are getting married.
Starting point is 00:09:21 Are you coming? And I'm like, I don't know what this is. I know. I don't know who Steve is. I know of a Paulina. That's Drew's daughter. But I think he would have told someone would have said something about a marriage. And I keep getting this email where R.
Starting point is 00:09:39 And I'm like, I don't want to RSVP to it because I don't know what it is. And there's no information that says anyone's last name or family of or the proud parents of. There's nothing. So I couldn't discern it. So I said to Daphne, the only Paulina I'm aware of is Drew's daughter. But I've talked to Drew enough and I've talked to everyone enough and it's never come up. So I don't. I didn't know she was troubling you to invite you.
Starting point is 00:10:11 I'm not troubling me. I was just like, I mean, I'm happy she's invited me. Good. But I, I. Let's leave it there. People need to, people need to weave a little context into their, into their thing. Everything. Look, that's like people walking up and go, hey, you know, you're, I had a, I had a, I, the dermatologist that did this walked up to me.
Starting point is 00:10:34 After a lecture, I went, hey, it's me. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I was like, I think, and by the way, at that point, I'd only seen her with a mask on. Oh. I'd never see her with a phone. Well, that's what you do. That's your move. You remember this guy, right?
Starting point is 00:10:48 Oh, yeah. That has, well, no, I think I got out of that. I think I stopped. I think I stopped with, I can't remember his name of the garage. Here's what I do. I stand next to people who are telling stories and go, this person doesn't know what you're talking about. He doesn't know who Fred is. Oh, you know Fred.
Starting point is 00:11:07 But they'll talk all the time. Women do it all the time. They'll just start going on and I'll have to referee. Yeah. I'll have to get in between these people and start telling everyone what that person is talking about. Probably because we get sort of uncomfortable by being put in that position all the time. And so I don't want somebody else in that position. I've realized that I think by being a comedian, the worst thing you can be is confusing.
Starting point is 00:11:37 You cannot be, you can be unfunny at times and you can be corny or you can be anything else, but you can't be confusing. They can't not know what you're talking about when you're going into something, you know. And I feel the same way about radio. And so I'm acutely aware when people do it. And I hear people telling stories and I go, he doesn't know who that is. Oh, that's Veronica's daughter. Okay, but you got it.
Starting point is 00:12:10 You can't just keep going. You can't just go, Emily got in some trouble at school. She doesn't know Veronica. So it doesn't know her daughter, Emily. Like, I don't know why I made it my job. I should just leave. Climb out of the car. All right.
Starting point is 00:12:25 So we got that. I have a quick one. Yeah. So this, if you want to know how shitty the news is, here's a great example. I was the medical ones, I guess I have the amnesia. What is the name of the physicist? The amnesia, DeGell Man's amnesia.
Starting point is 00:12:46 Because when I hear stories that have even the hint of a medical element to it, I see how fucked up the press is. So they made a meal out of a dead body left in a hot plane for hours. Do you hear about that one? I heard about that one. Meal about women of 60s. Dyes of one hour into a few. 13-hour British Airway flight.
Starting point is 00:13:09 This is the part I like. Three and three-on-three-one passengers to see 45 minutes for investigators. Then some crew took trauma leave. Took trauma leave. 72 people per year die on airplanes. There is a stated policy amongst all airlines. You finish the flight when somebody is dead. And it's not at all uncommon for there to be long-haul flights.
Starting point is 00:13:33 And they have specific procedures. either leave them in the seat, cover him up, or put him in the galley, cover him up. And that's that. And they went on, crew, wrapped the body, and it was decomposing. No, decomposition does not start that fast. No.
Starting point is 00:13:47 Stop it. Well, I mean, listen, here's what I would say. Technically, I suppose, when you pull, if you pulled a 17-ton block of ice out of a giant freezer, it would begin to thaw. But it'd be nowhere near water or thawed in the first 10 hours or whatever it is.
Starting point is 00:14:15 So, yes. I mean, so the body is, I guess, technically, the decomposing starts when you die, but nothing. You don't smell it. Well, look, if you take a piece of chicken out of the refrigerator and put on the counter, it starts to rot. Correct. But you eat it in the next two hours and it's not. You leave it for a week, then it does. Yeah, same idea.
Starting point is 00:14:38 But the point is, this happens literally dozens and dozens of times every year. But also, it falls under the heading of what would you like? You know, turn the plane around. I mean, if I'm on the plane, I'm like, I want to get to Heathrow. I want to go to wherever I'm going. By the way, most of these long halls are over ocean at that point. Right. Where are we going?
Starting point is 00:14:57 You're going to land on the Guam? What are we going to do here? No, if you're an hour out, you're going to go. You turn around and go back an hour to wherever you came from. Yeah. Yeah. Well, it said an hour into a 13-hour flight. Yeah, fair enough.
Starting point is 00:15:09 But the policy is to finish the flight. I get it. Yeah. And by the way, there is a whole- Every woman I've ever spoken to, by the way. Just do, land on an island? No, you're an hour out. You turn around.
Starting point is 00:15:21 You're going an hour back. Well, no, I wasn't. You were referring about this one. I was saying over the ocean. Oh, oh, in other flights. Yes, yes. All right. Then my apology.
Starting point is 00:15:28 We were talking about two different things. All right, what else? Yeah. Wow. As I like to say. I'm always talking about what we're talking about. What you're talking about, yes. All right, quick break, right back after this.

Starting point is 00:18:34 Okay, so there's a thing that's problematic. Oh. To me, it's problematic. I've not heard that word come out of your mouth before. Yeah, well, I, but it's more chick think, but I, you know, it's that 18-year-old woman who was shot in Chicago. and she was just gunned down, and it's an illegal who gunned the woman down. If I remember this story right, he'd just been let out for shoplifting or something? Is that that guy?
Starting point is 00:19:08 I don't know just let out for shoplifting, but was arrested for shoplifting. Well, first thing, he was detained at the border, and then they just dropped him off in the middle of the country, which is a Joe Biden thing. But you have to kind of think about, well, first off, you really, it's. I talk to you all the time off the air about waste. You know, sort of how wasteful this is. Like if you took, you know, a kind of a timeline, right? You just pictured it like we're making a Wes Anderson movie or some, you know, let's just say it, a Tarantino movie. At some point, three years ago, he'd be being detained, you know, for coming across the border into the United States.
Starting point is 00:19:56 and she'd be taking the pre-SATs in high school, you know. Right. And then at some point, instead of sending him back to Honduras or whatever, he'd be put on an airplane and taken to Chicago because it's a sanctuary city, you know? And then you'd go ahead two years, and he'd be arrested for shoplifting, and she would have found out she was just accepted into a college, you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:20:22 Yeah. And then at some point their paths would cross, and she'd be debt, right? Yes. But this guy didn't have to be in the country. And once they arrest him for shoplifting, they could have handed them over to ICE, which, of course, they won't do because they're a sanctuary city,
Starting point is 00:20:39 which I argue you shouldn't be able to just declare yourself some sort of autonomous zone. You know what I mean? Like, hey, I declare recita a place where we don't pay federal taxes. You know, that's my declaration. That's how we handle it. We don't pay them. That's right.
Starting point is 00:20:54 well, that's not how the law works. Number one. Number two, this thing where they go, they're coming in, they're taking folks, they say they're taking the criminals, they say they're taking the violent criminals, they're not, they're taking, all right, 10 minutes ago, this guy was not a violent criminal. Then he shot somebody. Right. And they would have, if they deported this guy, and if they had, I, standing outside of the courtroom or the jail when this guy was released for shoplifting. They all would have fucking cried like stuck pigs. All he did was shoplift some bread, you know, he was a shoplifter.
Starting point is 00:21:38 He didn't do anything. He's not raping anyone. He's not, he's not, there's real, you know, we have real crime. This guy petty theft and you're taking him back to, yeah, no, he did. He got arrested for a shoplift. Was this not a violent crime? But it's criminal behavior. You're here illegally.
Starting point is 00:21:56 You don't have a lot of choice. And yes, at some point you may become violent. And you may kill somebody. Even if you're here legally, he's a guest here. You wonder should those people really be staying here if they're misbehaving? Yeah. Right. But the point is he just executed her at the park at the beach or whatever.
Starting point is 00:22:18 I don't know. I'm guessing drunk or high or whatever. But also, you have to think. Like when they go, these people don't commit, they commit less crime. They're here. They're honest, hardworking. First up, it's men a lot of time. Young men, yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:34 It's a lot of countries opening up their prisons and shoving these guys out and going, we don't want this troublemaker here. You take them, which is a great windfall for them. Like imagine if we could just take all our crips and bloods and gangbangers and stuff and just shove them into Mexico and shut the door, you know, you take all the troublemakers, right? Yeah. So there are some guys that you basically walked here from Honduras, you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:23:01 Like, you're trauma. You're in a trauma. You've been traumatized. You have no ability to live here, you know what I mean? Drug, substance, alcohol, shoplifting, whatever, gangs or anything. You can't live above board. You know what I mean? You can't just, I'm going to get a job at the Apple store.
Starting point is 00:23:19 You can't do that. So you'll have to kind of go underground. You also are in a place where you kind of have to carry a gun or weapon or something because you're living in this environment. You know what I mean? You're not you're not in Encino. Right. You know, so now we've got a bunch of young guys and they're strapped up and they have weapons and they're living in a kind of underground existence. And yes, shit is going to happen.
Starting point is 00:23:46 But now, I mean, the people, and there's going to have to be lost. suits. I mean, I hate to be litigious, and I hate people that are litigious, but we've seen it in the past, certainly through COVID, you're not allowed to just announce your sanctuary city, take people and throw them back out on the street. When your daughter gets executed by this person, somebody should be held accountable. For sure. And so then you're in this insane position where all the people that are pro immigration, legal immigration,
Starting point is 00:24:25 sanctuary cities. Well, this is bad news for them. So what do they have to do? Well, they either don't acknowledge it at all, or they kind of
Starting point is 00:24:34 are dismissive of it, which is what they have to do because it's their shit policy that got this person killed. And they literally have blood on their hands. They do. They let this happen.
Starting point is 00:24:45 They welcomed it. He's in Chicago because it's a sanctuary city. We're in L.A. has a homeless problem because we're easy on homeless people. That's why they come, they will migrate to where it's easy. So then there's that. Now, simultaneously, what you need to do is if the nurse dude who's kicking
Starting point is 00:25:07 Suburban's and fighting with ice guys, you have to go to his memorial. So you have to make a big deal out of that guy because he got shot by ice while going and agitating with ice guys. He got shot and the woman who got shot going to run over eyes. We have to go there. We have to release statements. We have to say we're with the family and blah, blah, blah. This is inconvenient to us.
Starting point is 00:25:32 Just ignore it. So we'll either ignore it or we'll make some sort of boilerplate generic something that has nothing to do with anything. And the thing that's crazy, the people who do this are, I'll say, standing with Minnesota tonight. Yeah, it's J.B. Pritzker. Yeah, this is him putting flowers at the room. Make sure you take a picture of my fat ass, squatting down to put some posies down there.
Starting point is 00:25:59 Yeah, so he has to do a whole thing on that. Okay, all right. But this woman, this 18-year-old, who's executed by the illegal, well, now that's an issue. And I don't know if you saw the older woman. She made a video. And by the way, let me tell you the people that are the worse at this. I've told you white heterosexual males
Starting point is 00:26:23 have to kind of play the game a little bit black women and black lesbian women they go fuck y'all they don't seem to care you can say whatever this is the woman from her district this is her representative
Starting point is 00:26:38 this is the older woman yes yeah sorry can't wait all the time right and they go out on the pier they walk around so the kids were out doing normal normal things people do in the neighborhood and it sounds like this might have been a wrong place, wrong time, running into a person who had a gun. They might have startled this person at the end of the pier unintentionally.
Starting point is 00:27:02 But that's all the time, right? And they go out on the pier, they walk around. So, startled the guy. It's just on the pier thinking. You know what I mean? By the way, the guy chased her down, chased her in the back. Perfect. But sometimes when you're startled at the pier.
Starting point is 00:27:18 Yeah. May have been. Who knows. Well, wrong place, wrong time. Yeah, no kidding. Wrong place. Chicago. Right.
Starting point is 00:27:24 Wrong time. Today. Today and Biden left the border open and then you have a sanctuary city. So you've just sort of been dismissive about this. I love. It's startling. Start on somebody so he shot her. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:27:40 Think about that. Well, also, let me address this problem. You start off with people go outside and do stuff. Yeah. All right, hold on. Let me get my stentopat. Doing what kids do. Then what happened.
Starting point is 00:27:55 Yeah, well, first off, every time you get murdered or hit by a drunk driver, it's a wrong... You're out doing stuff. You're out doing stuff, and you're at the intersection where the drunk driver came barreling through, and that'd be a wrong place, wrong time. Yeah. And you know she hit the gun. He had a gun. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:12 So the gun is the kind of the culprit. That's the problem. The problem is the gun in this scenario. Right. Right. But anyway, this woman's name, we had all this information on her on the screen, but Andrews moved on. His name Maria. Is it Maria Haddon?
Starting point is 00:28:32 Yep. Okay. Her website is great. Unless you're fantastic. Oh, yeah. She's solving. Full of groovy thoughts. Yep.
Starting point is 00:28:42 She's an older woman. Maria Haddon. She's the first black queer woman elected to Chicago City. Council. We're done here. We're done. That's, you know, that woman should be alive today because she's the first black queer woman. She's a servant leader background organizing. She's an, or she's a community organizer. She organizes the community. And for, in participatory democracy, she does. She gets them organized. By the way, what democracy is not participatory? I have I have no idea.
Starting point is 00:29:21 But a lot of words with words. Pictures of her with gay flags. Read the, what group was she, what's her bio, Andrew? I can't read it from here. But she was formally, she formally did what? Lots of pictures of her hugging folks. And this is the problem. This is where we're at, Drew.
Starting point is 00:29:42 All right. So you can look at, but it was more her bio that I was interested in or her past. She was born in Columbus, Ohio to skip a 40-year-old union signalman for CSI. I mean, I'm sorry. What was her job before? What was her bio? I'm sorry. Sorry, I don't mean her where she was born.
Starting point is 00:30:03 This is the bio section. Where did she work before? Hold on a second. This is a poorly organized website. Also, the font is terrible even for this. Hold on a sec. You can look it up. I want to know where she worked before she was an older.
Starting point is 00:30:17 woman or what she did. But anyway, she basically organizes people and, you know, talks about queer theory and black and brown and indigenous and oppression and all that kind of shit. It's got nothing to do with running a fucking city. And I've been screaming about this for a million years because this is at least obvious in LA where they can't build a single house. You know what I mean? There's like, oh, they can't do anything.
Starting point is 00:30:46 No, well, why? They don't, A, they don't want to do anything. And B, why would they, could they do anything? Sorry. I'm sorry, I got it. They buried the lead here. It's about three paragraphs down. It's really...
Starting point is 00:30:58 Before becoming an older woman. Before becoming an older woman, Maria Haddon was the executive director of Our City, Our Voice. I love a UFO. A music title. Keep going. Okay. She founded to enable communities and local governments across the country to redesign design democracy for more empowered and equitable participation.
Starting point is 00:31:20 Her expertise in public participation is grounded in grassroots organizing efforts for social change. All right. So problem solved. Yep. We're done here. We're done here. We have this going on in every blue city.
Starting point is 00:31:36 And that's why they're fucking falling apart because you have dopes talking about social change. But they're not talking about aqueducts and reservoirs and blue cities. and land bridges. Producing electricity. Producing electricity and preventing fires and shit. They're not, and they're not interested. Right. Which is the...
Starting point is 00:31:55 That's the biggest problem involved. But I've been screaming at people this a million years. They have no... These guys, they all sit in this office, right? I walked in there yesterday and I said, I got to get a hose clamp. And I stopped and I said, does anyone here know where the host clamp is?
Starting point is 00:32:12 And I said, nope. Now, that's fine because they cut clips. But you wouldn't want them in charge of fixing anything because they don't know what it is and they're not interested in it. That's not what they do. She's not interested in potholes or aqueducts. And neither's Nithio Rahman. She wants to go down to the gay part of town and pull a U-turn sign off and then dance with a guy in a rainbow t-shirt. that's that's her idea of doing something now but by the way let me say this drew hold on a doggone minute
Starting point is 00:32:49 I was saying to someone the other day when I was doing a TV show and I really do mean this I don't really like doing TV and in sort of showbiz in general and it's not because I'm like salt of the earth or whatever so she's pictures of her she's the first lesbian woman of Colors. Is she, she's queer? Is she lesbian? Could be different.
Starting point is 00:33:14 Oh, I don't know. Lots of pictures with her wearing masks, posing with black people and saving our city. Okay. Let me say this, Drew. You ready? Yeah. I was just talking about this to the makeup person when I was doing the show the other day. I do not really like show business and I don't like filming stuff.
Starting point is 00:33:33 And I don't like any of that stuff. And it's not because I'm better than anyone or keeping it real or anything. Show business involves makeup, hair, and wardrobe. And when you do a TV show, they have fittings and they go shopping and they go, oh, this shirt would look good on you. And I just stand there like, oh, come on. Oh, I want to go home. I want to go home. I hate it.
Starting point is 00:33:59 My girlfriend buys me a pair of pants and goes, try them on. I go, they'll fit. I hold them up. They look good. No, no, come on. Try them on. I'll do it tomorrow. Like, it's a weird thing.
Starting point is 00:34:10 I just don't want to do it. Hair, makeup, clothing. Okay, not interested. For women, they fucking love it. I mean, they, you know, it's Grammy night. And the stylists, and they come, and they're trying stuff on, and if they rent out a hotel room, and it's the whole day, and the makeup artist gets there at two in the afternoon.
Starting point is 00:34:30 Excruciating. I couldn't imagine. I couldn't imagine. Okay. Not interested. It doesn't make me bad or good. It's not my thing. Now, if show business was all about vintage Dotson race cars and talking about old Jan Michael Vincent movies from the 70s, then I'd be like, oh, this is cool.
Starting point is 00:34:50 All right, I'm in. I'll get there early. Yeah. We'll show pictures of Dotson 510s. So there's just stuff they're interested. Okay. They're not interested in aqueducts and capturing water runoff and force maintenance. fine, but they want to be in charge.
Starting point is 00:35:11 And so what they want to do is they go, well, I'll be in charge. But I don't know anything about infrastructure, but I do, I'm big in the gay community. So I'm going to go down there. You know what I mean? And then they start doing what they're doing. But why wouldn't they? By the way, if I was in charge of show business, it'd be no makeup and no hair. We'd be talking about vintage racing the whole time, right?
Starting point is 00:35:35 Because that's what I like. So then we elect all these fucking dumb cows and they sit around and they do what they do. And then the city falls apart because they don't have any interest in this subject. Yeah. Why would it go? They want to be in charge of the stuff. Mayor Bass is in Ghana celebrating when we're burning here. But she's doing what she wants to do. Representing.
Starting point is 00:36:03 They want to represent, not govern. I'm telling you. That's the deal. opposite of governing. Aren't these heroes I never knew you a big Jan Michael Vincent fan? All right, quick break.
Starting point is 00:36:14 Be right back after this. Pluto TV has thousands of free movies and TV shows. If I'm mine, I'm dying. This is the mindset. Free. This is the mantra. Free.
Starting point is 00:36:26 This is the... With movies like Titanic, Dreamgirls, and Gladiator. Why are you detained? And TV shows like Survivor, SpongeBob Squarepants, the fairly odd pair of and ghosts. Pluto TV is always free.
Starting point is 00:36:42 Hazzo! Pluto TV, stream now. Pay never. All right. So then of course, the cities that are run by these imbecils, and there's men in there, too, are going to start, they're going to have, here's what they're going to have. They're going to have more gay pride days of recognition. There's going to be more proclamations about, you know, books being, you know, with trans characters and representation at Netflix, with making
Starting point is 00:37:15 films about the trans, whatever. And there's going to be more of going down to Hyperion and Silver Lake and celebrating with the gay community about the no cruising zone. It's going to be more of that, but there are, there's going to be less fire prevention and maintenance. Less forestry management, for sure. Yes, right? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:34 Well, that's, and that's what we have. That's what we get. Right. And so all I'm saying to you people is, for some people, I do, I think my mom would kind of like more celebration of the gay community and less fire prevention. I mean, as long as her house doesn't burn down, right? So they're kind of down with that. You know what I mean? That's why they want these people. I've been fucking sounding the alarm at this shit for a long fucking time. And the, you know, we need the fire department to represent the kind of, this is what they work on all fucking day. Getting the fire department to represent the community that it's like, it's a big fat fucking waste of time. Start doing shit we want, but they don't want to do it. I mean, think about, remember Drew. Remember, and I don't, let's break this down, as long as I'm picking on women.
Starting point is 00:38:35 I think Here's a hot thought I think men in general have the ability to do things they don't want to do over women and the things they don't want to do
Starting point is 00:38:55 in general and by some percentage point Do you think that's innate? Is that football or kids boys being treated different? differently? Well, these fucking dofuses don't know a host clam from a pipe organ over here. But guys like me, yeah. No, I think innately it enables you to go through basic training and go to war. Yeah. So we have an innate ability. You're Biloxi, Mississippi, you're doing pushups out in the sun.
Starting point is 00:39:25 A guy's yelling five more and you're screaming and struggling, you know, women. It's also, it's also, again, let's break it down even further. We're motivated by certain things. things to do that, right? Women don't have that motivation. For instance, men have a motivation to put themselves on a team, and as a member of that team, put themselves in harm's way, and to pull their weight. Yes. And some women have that, for sure, but I don't think that's so much of a thing. Let us preface this by once again saying, of course, there's women that can do this, and then there's that have an iron constitution, and then there's fucking half the dudes I went to high school with. There's my dad.
Starting point is 00:40:08 You know what I mean? He doesn't have that will. All right. So for sure. But we're talking about in general and by percentages and how that would affect things. So now you go men in general have the ability to do tasks that may be miserable or they don't want to. do or like I mean who is Mike road interviewing on the dirty jobs show it's all man
Starting point is 00:40:36 because you work at a place that collects hog manure right and then drives it out of town and yeah yeah listen and by the way people say to me all the time they go you like doing that construction I go no I don't like it I do it and I know how to do it and and so it's easier for me to do it but no I don't want to be on the roof scraping shingles you know what I mean like no I don't like to it. There's small
Starting point is 00:41:03 aspects of it that are interesting at a certain point, but it's not demo and it's not tearing out the old deck with the rotted wood and hauling it up to whatever. Okay. But the point is, I do it. Like, I will tolerate doing it. And guys have
Starting point is 00:41:18 a greater, you know, just stuff like, you know, with women, you know, with women, I'll be like, oh, we'll drive to Vegas, we'll do the show and we'll drive back. I can't. I'm not going to be able to make it back. You know what I mean? I got to just sleep in the No, no, we'll stay in Vegas. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:41:34 I go, it's just we'll drive, we'll do the show, we'll turn around, we'll come back. It's like, I'm not going to be able to make it. Generally, that's where women are, whereas I'll just drive and do the show and then turn around it and come back. I don't want to do it, but I'll, I'll do it. Okay, so now you also, let's go deeper. We're going deeper. Okay. women also have more difficulty getting interested in things that don't interest them.
Starting point is 00:42:05 Yes. I will put it to you this way. Andrew in the next room knows nothing. About cars. He didn't let me finish. About cars. But I was with him the other day, and he saw my race car collection. And then at some point, I put on the Goodwood event.
Starting point is 00:42:25 and we watched a Goodwood historic race out of Chichester, and it's fantastic. You know, all the old 60s, Ferraris and Aston Martins and Jaguars just out tearing it up on the track. But Andrew watched it for an hour. He was into it. No woman I know, I could show it to her, and she'd go, okay, let's eat. You know, you can't. difficulty getting women into stuff they're not interested in. I've talked to a million guys who know nothing about vintage racing, but they'll go,
Starting point is 00:43:05 where do you do it? And how fast do you go? Women's like, I'm not that. Hold on. Women, though. Quiet. Docks. Do you know how many chick docks I've seen?
Starting point is 00:43:17 A million. I'll watch a million. That doesn't matter what it is. It doesn't need to be a doc about the first. cannonball run or something like that. I'll watch. I just got done watching for second time, the wrecking crew about all the session musicians
Starting point is 00:43:31 who played in the L.A. It's in, or 20 feet from stardom, you know, the black backup singers. I'll watch it. I can't get a woman to sit out and watch a car racing dock with me. Why is it? What are they interested in? I have a word that brings it home for you. It's an emotional. Look, they're wired
Starting point is 00:43:49 to be sort of interested in emotions and kids and stuff like that and not information so much. Bridgerton. Okay. Bridgetton. All right. So here's... Holy shit. I suffered through 20 minutes of that last night.
Starting point is 00:44:03 I couldn't believe it was on TV. My wife couldn't speak. She was enraptured. All right. Here's my point. Here's my point. So now you're a politician. And you're female politician.
Starting point is 00:44:19 And we're asking you. to take interest in a bunch of boring infrastructure shit that you have no interest in. And we're saying, so what if you don't care about it? Fucking focus on it and burn some calories on it. Fuck that. I'm going to Ghana and dancing. You know what I mean? I'm going down to Silver Lake and hanging out with the homos.
Starting point is 00:44:41 That's what I'm doing. You know what I mean? And guys have the ability, I think, to go, okay, I don't really care about this subject. but I'm the mayor. And here it is. And let's fix it. You know what I'm saying? So now you take a city like Los Angeles and you just chalk a blocket filled with women in charge
Starting point is 00:45:03 and you're just going to have less of an outcome when it comes to those subject. And then you have a state that's governed by a chick and his first lady or first partner or whatever the fuck she's called. So it shouldn't be surprising when you end up here. You know what I'm saying? No, it should not. Represent, not govern. And Drew, with women, a deeper inability to be critiqued. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:45:36 Like, hey, Drew wants to volunteer for the homeless addiction. Yeah, get him out of here. I don't want some fucking guy with knowledge coming in here and fucking up our stuff. You know what I mean? Hit the brakes. Just like this. She couldn't, she's the older woman of this woman's district. She had a woman executed and she can't even just give it up.
Starting point is 00:45:57 Yeah. You know what I mean? Yeah. And my thing is, A, say nothing. Uh, or B, fucking pull it together. You know what I mean? This guy was probably sitting on the pier, got startled. By the way, don't, don't you have access to information?
Starting point is 00:46:14 A person was shot in the back running. You know what I'm saying? Right. Is that sitting on a pier? you came up and startled the guy you don't have access to that information don't care they don't care
Starting point is 00:46:29 they want to tell their story they want to tell their story they want to be celebrated in the community and by the way remember first black queer older woman of color and think about it where you're being celebrated you're going to gravitate that way
Starting point is 00:46:45 you're going to do more of that yes yes you will end up If there was one... Take it off, you turns. One production where they went, no makeup, no hair, but we talked Dotsons. I'd be like, all right, I'm doing that show. You'd move that way.
Starting point is 00:46:58 Right. So everybody does what they're interested in. And by the way, even when they're at their job, you know, you take guys, right? They like their fantasy, their fairy tale football, and their roto leagues or whatever. Well, what happens when a guy's really into his... his bracket in its final four season. And he's at the job and he's really into his bracket. Well, then you can walk around and you can walk into his office at any given time.
Starting point is 00:47:31 And at any given time, he's got his phone out and he's looking at his bracket. Because that's what he's interested in. And he's, but you go, but he's, he's on the job. He's on your, he's getting paid by the hour. He's on, he's in the job. He's here. He's at work. What's he doing?
Starting point is 00:47:49 He's looking at his bracket because that's what he likes. And what's Mayor Bass doing? Well, she's sitting down at City Hall. What's she doing? She's checking flights to Ghana. Well, what's that got to do with potholes and homeless? No, no, she likes going to Ghana. She doesn't like potholes and home.
Starting point is 00:48:11 This is, these are problems. So why wouldn't we have more of this? Doesn't they feel like this city needs a whole different structure to it? Yes. Like we've got to get rid of the city council. It's a sketch. Shake it. So Natalia Vera, older woman, Maria's partner of 10 years.
Starting point is 00:48:33 Oh, she's good. Uh-huh. Is the proud daughter of an immigrant from Pueblo, Mexico. And was raised by hardworking single mom. They love an immigrant single mom. How about she was neglected by an immigrant deadbeat dad? Right. You want to put that in there?
Starting point is 00:48:54 Or it's just a hardworking woman from Pueblo? You remember Pueblo, Colorado? Yeah. You know what that is? No. That's where all the government pamphlets come from. Oh, really? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:11 Remember those commercials would be like, start your own business. You can get grants from the government to start a, send it right away to Pueblo, Colorado. It was always Pueblo. Yeah, yeah. Pueblo, Colorado is the home of the government brochure. Were they brochures or were those sort of the beginnings of the kind of NGO type structures? Look it up.
Starting point is 00:49:33 That's interesting. It was always seen like the government, yes, yes, the government has grants for first-time business owners and you can start. You can get up to $10,000 to start your own. own business if you're a small a first time business owner and it was always or you wanted to learn about radon gas
Starting point is 00:49:56 she would send away to Pueblo, Colorado what's at stake? Publishing office. Mm-hmm. Oh, it's the Documents Distribution Center. There you go. 71. Wow.
Starting point is 00:50:09 Yeah, you're right. It was probably the beginning of all the grift and grafted NGO bullshit. Yeah. But pamphlets, consumer, low-cost federal pamphlets on consumer topics. Consumers can order publications covering topics like health, money, housing, gardening. Hey, Chuck, right to Pueblo, Colorado, because it's bull planting season. And you've got to get some info.
Starting point is 00:50:38 Oh, no. All right. So, yeah, it was always sending away to Pueblo, Colorado. Yeah, I do remember that. I figured you were old enough to get. to get that. It didn't. Hold on.
Starting point is 00:50:49 Is there something you want us to watch, or you're just leaving it on there? No, this is PSA about the government. Oh, really? I'm sorry. Go ahead. Hang tight. Here we go. Sometimes it just goes to another site, so I don't want to say anything.
Starting point is 00:51:04 Watch your tip. You ready, honey? Ready. Surprise. Isn't it something, honey? Is that terrific? That guy was in every commercial. I mean, that type of guy.
Starting point is 00:51:17 Yeah. Don't worry, we'll fix it. Home security alarms, painting, painting. Here we go. Simple home repairs. If you could use a little help with your house or even your household records, what to keep, what to throw away.
Starting point is 00:51:33 Writers. We're the Consumer Information Center of the U.S. government, and we have a catalog of federal publications full of helpful information. Successful jogging. Ah! Exercise and weight control. The catalog lists more than 200 public.
Starting point is 00:51:47 locations you'd be sent for and more than half are free. Why did we need this? Why did the government have to go here? You know what I mean? It's like the PSAs we used to listen to. It's the same conceit. Send away to Pueblo, Colorado.
Starting point is 00:52:02 There it is. All right. I'm going to be Norfolk, Nebraska, doing shows. Their early show Friday sold out, but there's some more shows at the Events Center, District's Event Center. And then there's an early show in Lincoln on Sunday.
