The Adam and Dr. Drew Show - #2080 - The Art of the Argument | Part 1

Episode Date: April 2, 2026

Elliot Bewick joins Adam and Dr. Drew to discuss how social media is warping this generation, the crucial role of rough-and-tumble play in male development, and the risks marijuana poses to young people. They cover England’s biggest issues, Adam’s take on migration problems, what young men are into today, flaws in feminism and hyper-masculine influencers, and why independence—especially leaving mom and dad’s house—is vital for young guys. Adam wraps with rants on Ford and Chevrolet’s origins and how cultures treat their cities differently.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 it on. No, Ches me going to mandate you. Get it on. Dr. Drew, board certified physician, addiction medicine specialist. We have a guest today. Elliot Bewick. Am I saying Bewick? Bewick.

Is that right? Say it again. Say it in the Queens English. Buick. It's like the call for the different spelling. Buick. Wow. Okay.

Interesting. I got it. Elliot is a young man who's got a podcast and started off with the trigonometry guys who I enjoy so much. And his emphasis is on male society, manosphere, all the stuff. There's stuff everyone's talking about now, right? As I told Drew years ago. Let's say, wait, hang a second. Today's, I want to say 35 years ago, yeah.

No, no, I just said we're drifting off. It's safe spaces and octagons. That's how we're going to, that's what we're going. You said 10 years ago, where are we going? Yeah, I did. And then I called you and said, they're actually putting an octagon in the White House. Yeah. Literally is safe spaces in octagons.

Right. But I'm old. Elliot's young. Elliot's 20? Yeah. 20 years old. So what's your take on, well, a synopsis of what we're dealing with here? Yeah, it's interesting. The thing that's really odd to me is trying to dissect what's reality and what's performative. And I think we've had this weird crossover where people inhabit the online world more than they do real life to the point where social media used to be a reflection of reality, whereas now reality is a reflection of social media.

So all of these games that are going on in the online space and people being more polarized than ever, it's somehow transferred into people actually going out on the streets and protesting, actually smashing up their bones and their face trying to look smacks. And it's all very odd. It's all very confusing. It's very confusing. People that love Elon Musk one day, the next day are lighting his cars on fire. Yeah. Just because.

Well, all right. So it's a problem. I've told everybody there's a, okay, here's the root of it. Men need to be engaged in some sort of physical something. And when you pull them out of that, the best thing is just to build a barn or just be outdoors. You have to do stuff.

We pull them out, we put them in air conditioning, they set them, and we told them no acting out, no rough housing and no whatever. And by the way, the guys who build the, The barns are losers. You know what I mean? The guys who get up and drive trucks and work with their hands. You want to go to college.

My son's going to college. He's not going to work like his dad, you know. Their brains started to atrophy fast as it would. Why wouldn't it? I mean, you know, you take an animal and you take it out of its environment. You just put it in a cage and it just paces back and forth. There's nothing to do. Somebody feeds it.

And then it starts chewing on it. I had a really interesting conversation with my wife a couple days ago. We were at an intersection. There was four, probably 17-year-old males and a 17-year-old female. And the males were doing what you, Chris and Ray, would do, beating the shit out of each other. Could barely get across the street. Good. And the good.

And the young lady literally looked just like out of body. Like, is this like, and I go to my wife and go, Susan, she, She's confused, right? She goes, I'm confused. They go, I go, why do you think they're doing that? She goes, I can't understand. I go, they have to. They have to.

It's in them. This is how they are. This is being a male. They have to. Rough and tumble play, if you're a mammal, is part of being an adolescent, period. It's either confusing or not confusing. It's just, they need to do this and stand back. Don't get involved.

Yeah. So, I mean, I'm guessing most of this is kind of on the male side. I mean, women are going crazy. Don't get me wrong. They're going super crazy. But they're actually being more physical than males are now. Because there's no. We drove them nuts.

And now they're beating on each other in airports. Well, they're beating on men with no expectation of anything back because you can't hit a woman. You can't do it. Well, there's that. There's that too. But anyway, I don't know. I've been watching this phenomenon for a long time. And I was like, fellas, you better get outside.

You better pick up some tools. and you better break a sweat and you better get busy. And I don't, I, no one has ever really understood what I'm telling them. Because they're always like, well, get a guy to do it. You don't need to do it. And it's such a weird argument, you know, to try to put, put forth, wash your own cars, basically is what I'm saying. But, Elliot, do you, I mean, you're so young.

I started realizing working here and hiring young guys that young guys don't know. any of this stuff and never experienced it. They don't. I mean, it's kind of weird. It's even boring to make fun of them anymore because they just don't know anything, but it's not even their fault. This guy and the guy is behind him. I'm pointing at Elliott. Are the salvation, I hope? Are you seeing good things coming? I'm optimistic. I don't know if I'm seeing good things coming. Are they understanding that weed is going to destroy any of this? No. It would be interesting to see the rates of people using weed in America. It feels like it's very normalized from being. It is normalized, but are they seeing the consequences and understanding

they got to, got to. They might be. They might be seeing their dicks shrivel up and not function, but they're not speaking about it out loud. I like the way he speaks, because when he goes with the schvance function, he knows and then will pay attention. Well, see, this country, we put a much greater emphasis on smoking and vaping tobacco than we did on wheat. I see all these commercials about how brain nicotine is brain poison or something. So what we got is everything wrong. We get everything wrong. And it's like a charter for progressives.

They get everything they, every idea they have is the opposite of what would work. You know what I mean? It's basically defund the police. You know what I mean? All right. Chaos, death, bedlam, crime. Okay. Well done.

Well done. So every single, and all the men can be a woman and playing sports that just every idea they have is wrong. Pot, not good, nicotine, inert, who gives a fuck. And we put all our effort into trying to eradicate nicotine for young people and say nothing about pot. So that's how we do it in the States. It's weird to see. I'm someone, I'm quite boring. I've never had a drop of alcohol in my life, never smoked weed, never done any.

drugs or even vaped. And I just did the kind of cost-benefit analysis of the path I can go down if everything fucks up and I don't do substances versus the realm of possibilities that opens up when you start dabbling with substances. And, you know, as someone in the West who's grown up in a pretty average family, the worst-case scenario for me as a young person trying to pursue my dreams and take risks, rock bottom for me is ending up back in my mum's apartment with a bunch of hugs and kisses and her cooking food for me. That's like the worst case. That's in England.

And that's a pretty good outcome. Whereas as soon as you start dabbling with all of these substances, I could end up in Skid Row doing a fentfold. And that's not an elusive or a seductive option for me. So I just thought, I'll eradicate everything. It doesn't. But you guys do homeless people way better than we do in the UK. Do you?

Yeah. California does it better than anybody. Yeah, you guys are like the world-class specialists of homeless people. Right. What's going on in the UK? in terms of, you hear a lot of doom and gloom with a lot of immigration woes and that sort of thing, but I don't know.

Like, you know, sometimes they'll say that, you know, they'll say, oh, San Francisco's a hellhole, it's falling apart, and then someone will go, I went to San Francisco, two weeks ago, it was fine. Well, they have a new mayor, they're taking care of business. Yeah, no, but even when they would say. I just wrote an article about that for the California Post. It was, oh, really? Yeah. Even when they would talk doom and gloom, it was still certain parts of it.

It wasn't the entire place. Well, in San Francisco, it's so concentrated. It kind of is the entire place. You're all living on top of each other there. So it's here. I have been to San Francisco in the doom and the gloom part and got along, walked from fishermen's wharf to the Golden Gate Bridge and just passed people who were jogging. Okay.

Okay. So shut up. Jesus Christ. Well, the point I was making is the point you were making was the opposite of my point. No, no, no. That's the only, the only point you're making. Okay. But England, now I see doom and gloom, but again, you might go, oh, go back to England, it's fine. But I don't know. We definitely have problems coming our way, and I think that's an understatement. But what troubles me is that the people that are actually trying to make a difference with things like the mass migration that we've

seen and all the people coming over on small boats is often it gets weaponized and it gets used as a political tool. And it kind of discredits the valid points that people make. So I see the far left going nuts saying the equivalent of no one is illegal on stolen land, but UK edition. And then I see the right wing is going too far and going into all kinds of ethno-nationalist sloganeering. And that's not helpful either. So it really feels like in the political discourse, in the UK, the adults have left the room, and there's no one that's able to tow both sides of an argument. And trigonometry do that very well. That's why I was so proud to work with them. And it's weird being here in the studio, because I was actually here with you three years ago, but I was

behind the camera. So it's cool to be back. But they're doing great work. There's not many others that are. Yeah, you know, I don't know, because there's so many who are doing so many things, but we may not be exposed to those things. So it's hard to say nobody's doing anything. They could be, but they're not catching on like other certain podcasts and outlets and things like that. I mean, it's nice to see the Bill Mars of the world, I guess, somewhere tacked toward some sort of practicality or sanity or something like that, you know. I like to think we're on the side. of common sense over here.

I mean, there's a, you know, there's a fundamental problem with migration. And I've always talked about it. I remember super distinctly, and here's some homework for you, Chuck. I think I was on Joe Rogan's show when he was out here in like Reseda and like a strip mall. I remember clearly. No, that's maybe Seguera? Because that was the Recita strip mall.

Are you confusing? Just curious. Okay. Okay. Anyway, I was on Joe Rogan show when he was out here in Recita and a strip mall. Sorry, your royal highness. I don't know what to. If I start to confuse something, please do raise it with me.

I'm not confused. I was Joe Rogan. Maybe it was Topanga on a strip mall. It was out here in a strip mall. This is years and years and years. before Tom Seguer. You did not know Tom Seguer's name. Okay.

Okay. Now I'm going to continue. So, Drew, lesson learned. I spoke to him at length, and one of the subjects we got into

was just sort of L.A. turning into Mexico. And I've lived here my whole life. I go, look, if enough Mexicans just move here, it just turns into Mexico, but it would turn into Ireland,

it would turn into Italy, it would turn into Germany. If you get enough, and they just show up, then that's what they do. So that's what you're going to have. Plus, obviously, the people that are showing up are not the gainfully employed and the, you know, most educated and whatever. It's the people that are down, poor, need, you know, looking for something.

And then they all just arrive. And then you let them in and then you give them stuff. And then they have their own community. And then you got to smallish in Minnesota. and that'll be that. And that's, but why would, why would it be any different? Why should we expect something different? Well, okay, let's forget about religion, ethnicity.

Let's just say, England started letting in just tons and tons and tons of vegans. They're all vegans. Everyone came in was vegan. Okay, nothing wrong with that. But in the past, there were not going to be a ton of vegan restaurants. Well, guess what? Now there's a bunch of vegan restaurants. And now the vegans are starting to come together.

And they're realizing they have some political power when they come together. And they want to outlaw meat on Fridays. And then they get a guy or a girl who may not be a vegan, but they want to be voted. They want the vegans to vote for them. So they're going to run on a campaign of no meat on Friday. And then if you say anything, then you're anti-vegan and, you know, your meat is murder a crowd. And now we got an argument, here we are. Of course it has to go that way.

Why wouldn't it go that way? Yeah. Luckily, vegans are usually too malnourished to come up with that kind of action. It's weird how people can't logic this out in the reverse. We look at somewhere like Spain. Often Brits go there on retirement. and it's the type of place that my dad's about to go to in retirement and pollute with British culture and fish and chip shops.

The Spaniards hate it. They have campaigns out in public on a weekly basis where they're holding up their signs. They're going, get the Brits out of here. But that's fine. It's just preserving their beautiful Spanish culture. Whereas when people want to do the same thing for the UK and for England, they're considered racist.

Right, right. And obviously, everything just breaks down to some sort of racing because the progressives would side with the Spaniards. They would say that's a beautiful culture. We shouldn't be corrupting it with our pubs and our, whatever, Yorkshire pudding. That's a deep pull. No, we shouldn't be screwing up. My mom would be the first person to go, you know what?

Spain is right. What do we want a bunch of beef eaters coming over here for? Yeah, yeah, yeah. She went, but yes, the other way, yes, England has a culture. France has a culture. How does Spain reconcile its history? Speaking of occupied lands, I mean, pushing out the Moors, Ferdin and Isabella were just brutal terrorists to consolidate Spain. No, nobody's brazen an eyebrow on that.

They reconcile it through silence. They're white. They were white. It's bad. White bad. Nothing. Nothing. Interesting.

So, we'll attack back. to the mail subject in a sec. We'll take a quick break. Be right back with Elliot right after this. Hymns, if something's off in the bedroom, you're not alone.

My perspective is part of the male population is, part of the male population is, is getting hardcore into physicality, sort of the Pete Hagseth, you know, they're not the Minister of Defense. Data Way.

Yeah, they're just going hard. The others getting really, really soft and sort of floating around and some sort of ambiguous sexuality or something. And it's almost, we're just creating two camps. So what I say is, in when they tried to force everyone into an election, electric car in LA, truck sales went up 100%.

People started buying big RAM trucks. Drew and I lived here our whole life. You did not see big, big trucks, four buys, driving all over the place, because it's LA. Who needs it? Everything's paved. You know what I mean? They didn't need it.

But it was a reaction to trying to be shoved into a small electric car that they pushed back and went and got a big truck. So that's a phenomenon. That's going to happen. So that's the octagon's. Yeah. Well, the truck's the octagon and the electric cars, the safe space. I wonder how it fits in terms of, it feels like the safe space crowd,

sort of not interested in the opposite sex in a sort of traditional way. They're sort of interested in pressing them, so they talk like them and think like them. But they don't like date. They don't try to culture. cultivate anything. Am I right? Yeah, it's interesting. The glorification of modern femininity looks suspiciously similar to what masculinity used to be.

Girls are told to go after it and pursue their careers. They can be a boss bitch. And good on them. Feel free to do that. But when men do the same thing, they're branded as toxic, as sexist, as misogynistic. Or the worst is if we behave the way we would behave towards our male peers,

towards the females acting like men, that's, oh my God, that's now human resources. Yeah, and I'm optimistic for the future. I think people are cottoning onto what's been going on. And in fact, I worry sometimes about overcorrecting too far where men do look to people like Nick Fuentes or Andrew Tate's and these straw men of what masculinity should be. That's...

Sorry, go ahead. No, please. I was going to say, by the way, if you're looking for that Rogan thing, I think it was the second appearance I did on his show. One, the first was from his house. By the way, this is sitting in his den. Maybe I'm underplaying it, but I'll say this. The left does this thing where they go, after 9-11 Arab Americans in this country

were running for their lives for hate crimes and stuff. And it's like none of that really happened. I mean, some drunk Texan walked into a 7-Eleven and a guy was wearing a turban and he called him a name and left. But nobody, no hate crimes. Nobody got hung. Nobody died. The left male will make a big deal about that.

They'll do it with Asian bashing until they find out it's black people doing it and then they don't care about the Asians anymore. But they make a big reactionary thing. And they'll do this thing a lot while they'll go, these guys are now giving birth to this army of toxic whatever. I don't really feel it. I don't see it. I have a son.

I see those guys. I have a son who's 19, turning 20. I see him. I see his friends. They like sports. They're sort of regular. They like eating tacos. I never hear any Nick Fuentes talk.

But it's that same thing about mass formation. The 70% in the middle are just want to get a lot. long do that thing. Yeah, I just mean when they do that thing that what's his name, kickboxer guy and Andrew Tate. Andrew Tate. They do a big thing where, like, he has legions of followers and stuff. It's like maybe, but it's kind of like we talk about the clan here. They don't really exist in any real numbers.

No one sees them. No one gets recruited by them. It's not as big. The left takes a clan and turns it into a huge organization. The reality is there's nothing there. Yeah, there's a difference between engagement and impact. These characters, they get a lot of engagement because they're polarizing and they're fine-tuned towards being promoted by the algorithms.

And they even run clipping campaigns where they'll spend thousands and thousands of dollars on different people clipping their stuff up to make it go viral. And I agree with you. I think it's exaggerated that there aren't that many young guys looking at Andrew Tate or Nick Frenter's going, I want to be like him. I do certainly think they have pushed certain desperate men in their direction. But most people, most young men do just want to get on and we want to be like a dog. We want to go out on a walk.

We want to take a shit and we want to get washed and fed, right? So I think there's nuance to this. And oftentimes these figures are almost used as this monolith example for all young men. Oh, everyone's going to the far right. No, young men are actually more liberal than ever. In the UK, 42% of men voted for the Labour Party and increasing numbers of voting for the Greens. So it's actually not that we're as conservative or Republican as people would think. But I think that the struggle for young men is probably deeper than the conversations we're having.

And that's one of fulfillment and meaning. That's what we're really lacking. 100%. But it's a difficult conversation because it takes a while to root out how you give someone meaning and fulfillment. We can't answer it for you. You have to find it. That's the thing. And I constantly talked to young men about that. I just spoke to a mom yesterday. Bright kid doing well. It gets A's in some classes, F's in the other. And I talked to him and I thought, oh, this kid is very bright. He's got a lot to offer. Nothing, nothing, nothing meaningful, nothing that he can sick his teeth to find traction with. And I thought, oh, my God, that must be a tear. I mean, I remember what that felt like. I was that way for a minute. Found medicine. I felt grateful all the way to this day. But if there were not a lot of options being presented to me, I don't know what the fuck I would have done. How did they find the options?

How big was your window of rudderlessness? It couldn't have been big. It was a couple of years. Really? I left college for a while. You don't know this about me? See. Well, I thought you went to college for medicine.

And then I bottomed down with a depression and said, I can't do this. I'm not smart enough. And left the next semester I did like music theory. and theater and stuff. And then I left. I just... How long were you out of college? Well, interestingly.

Seven weeks? No, here's the interesting thing. Nine weeks. Here's the interesting thing. I'll tell the story. Apologies to my friends, my Trojan friends at USC, where I ended up going to medical school, by the way. But I thought, all right, I'm really... I've got nothing.

So I'll just go to take some classes at USC. I'll re-enroll there. And so I re-enrolled at USC. And I had this religion class. and we met with, we only had teachers assistants there. Sorry to take all your time with this story, but it's a story about rudderlessness. And we had this paper, and I worked hard on it, and I sent it in it. And the TA at the end of the class, after it turns our papers in, he said, you know, these were terrible, these were awful.

I don't know what you guys are doing. He goes, you, I need to see you after class. Me. I thought, oh, shit, I've really messed up. And he calls me, and he goes, is the best paper I've ever read from a college student, from an undergraduate student. from an undergraduate student. How did you learn to write like this? And the thought bubble of my head was, oh, shit, I'm a B-minus student for an average college.

I got to get the fuck back there. And that's what led me back. Not that I wanted to do medicine. How long were you out of school? Three and a half weeks? Well, completely out of school? 11 days. Well, I would call that six months was out of school, but I was doing stuff.

That's called the summer. You never dropped out of college. No, I visually did. All right. Now, but listen, here's what I think. I don't think the answer is giving anyone purpose or guiding them to purpose. I think young men need to get out and find their way. They need to essentially be pushed out of the nest.

And try things. And I, you know, I left. I had no purpose when I was 19, but I needed to eat because I got shoved out. And I just worked. and I wasn't happy about it and it wasn't fun, but I was tired when I got home. You know what I mean? Like I had worked all day, you know, and I was tired.

And I felt as sort of a, you know, it wasn't purpose like something noble. It was just like you work. Your first purpose is to be self-contained as a young, man, you know, you're 19 and a half, you drive a truck, you have a roommate, you have an apartment, you eat your top ramen, but you take care of yourself. And there's a certain satisfaction and just, I'm on my own, but I'm making it, I'm getting it done, I'm taking care of myself. Then the next strata is like, all right, now how can I start moving toward thriving a little,

you know, just versus surviving, you know, and then there was like a little, purpose in getting a newer truck and having some skill, you know, getting some kind of skill. And you just keep sort of going that way. But they're not, they don't think that way. They think I need to my ultimate, you know, I get my ultimate thing going. But they're not getting pushed out of the nest. That's the problem. They're atrophying in the nest.

And then the government is rushing in, realizing that people want to vote themselves stuff. I see it all the time. It's the commercials. Remember playing the cafeteria lady commercial in here? And she's like, these kids come in the morning and they're hungry and I got to feed them and Tom Steyer's going to feed them breakfast and he's going to hand out two billion. It's like you're bragging about giving free food to people who are perfectly capable of making their own fucking food. There is nobody who can't make their own fucking food. There's nobody. You cut everyone off a snap. Nobody does. They're all fine. I did it. I lived it. I was with these people 24-7. You fucking figure it out. And we're not doing that. And the government has a key role in this and they're creating these people. Also, they're creating a lot of dissatisfaction. Like a lot of tight deserve, you know, what about who's going to, you know, like fuck you. No one's doing anything for you. Get your shit together. And especially men. My God, get out there and work a little. Like I don't like my job. Good. Work harder and getting a better job. Yeah.

Yeah, there's been this rise in cuddling of my generation. Oh, my God. The one ahead of you particularly, more than you guys. I mean, maybe we're learning. But, I mean, I was just going over, you know, my employment time at McDonald's when I was at, you know, in high school. And it's like, that job sucked. I had to work the griddle. People just go work at McDonald's.

They don't realize their stratus at McDonald's. at McDonald. Standing in front of the counter, you're in air conditioning, you're dealing with people, you're not wearing a plastic smock, and you're not leaning over a griddle, which is a red-hot manhole cover

that you just lean over the whole time. You stand the entire time, you just make meat, you get spattered by stuff. You get breaks to mop the floor, don't you? Sweeping a mop. Sweeping a mop for the dining area. That's not sexy for young men who are constantly being presented

with the top 1% on social media and being sold that as a, lie of what's normal. You know, the phrase, that's a good point. The phrase, I'm not going to do that is something I never heard anyone utter my entire life. No male. It was no work. If you got any work, you'd jump at it. No male ever did that. And a lot of this being driven by women because I wanted my son when he was, you know, 15 or 16, I was like, let him work at the McDonald's. There's a McDonald's up the street. By the way, they paid 16, 75. an hour or whatever, whatever.

I go, let me work at the McDonald's. Every woman in my life went, you're not going to let your son. You're rich. He's not going to work. I go, let him learn how to work. He doesn't need to work at McDonald's. Nobody needs to work at McDonald's. He can learn how to work.

I didn't learn how to make hamburgers. I learned how to work. I learned what work was. And more importantly, I learned what I didn't want to do, which is work at McDonald's. It's women. fight, oh no, he's going to college. You know what I mean? We screwed it. We're suffering from the impact

of having prosperity. And there are teething issues that come with that. This is a unique situation compared to the rest of history, from what I understand, through all of time, men have learned, Dr. Warren Farrell speaks about this, the male self-worth paradox where we've learned to value ourselves by

devaluing ourselves and going to war and getting killed or working dangerous jobs, right? Whereas now we've got options and that's great, but that comes with consequences, we've actually been deprived of deprivation now. And we need a little bit of that. No, we need it. We need it like we need boredom.

Yeah. You need, you can't have everything coming at you. You need to just sit sometimes and just figure out a way to entertain yourself. I mean, ball up some paper and try to throw in the waist can figure out stuff. Entertain yourself. I mean, everyone needs this kind of, it's like, it's like, like the live love laugh equivalent for bro podcasts and that's blaze pascal's idea of all of man's problems stem from an inability to sit in a room alone in silence and it's so overstated but with good reason because

that's what we need we need to be forced into sitting down in a room and staring at a wall for 15 minutes I think that would solve half of the world's issues now if we had to do that day I did not expect to be referencing Pascal's poncée here we are it is interesting Elliot let me give you a plug before we say goodbye. The YouTube show. That's at Elliot Buick, but you spell it, B-E-W-I-C-K, and the podcast, the next generation as well. Good to see you after all these three years. Yeah, good to be back in the guest chat. We'll take a quick break. Come back right after this. Pluto TV has thousands of free movies and TV shows. We're coming at you with everything we got. This is the mindset. Free. This is the mantra. Movies like Pineapple Express, the entire Star Trek film franchise and Gladiator, and TV shows like Survivor, SpongeBob SquarePants, the fairly odd parents and ghosts. Pluto TV is always free.

Hazzal. Pluto TV, stream now, pay never. All right, we're back. Oh, yeah, okay. I don't know what, because of Elliot Buick. You want to say weird thing, I was just thinking about the other day, but it brought up before, but I never brought up to you. Ford and auto manufacturer and Chevrolet started about the same time. They started about the same place, and they're both equally as successful throughout the years.

There are 100-something-year-old American companies, and if you go out, today you'll see Ford's and Chevroletes everywhere. The Ford's have a long family of Etzel Ford and the guy that's the one that called Ford the second, the deuce. And now, and by the way, whole generation of young Ford's and their last name is Ford and their run. And sometimes they get like Henry Ford the third and stuff like that. And there's a lot of them. There are no Chevroletes.

There's no, whose name Chevrolet? Where'd that come from? Do we know? It's probably a French. It sounds a little French, yeah. It's a last name. Chevrolet is a last name. The Ford's a last name.

Is Buick a last name? I don't know about Buick, probably, but the point is... Podiac was the name of an Indian. Right, and then a town. But the whole point, if Chevrolet is a last name, how come nobody's name Chevrolet? And if the company is that big and that prominent, Where is everybody associated with that family?

Can I ask Grok where it came from? Louis Chevrolet is the name. I think it's French. Louis Chevrolet. Where are the brothers? Where are the siblings? Where do they come from? That's not where they come from.

It's where are they now. No, but I mean, is that the founding, is he the Henry Ford, is Louis Chevrolet or is he some figurehead that they just named it after? No. There was no Chevrolet family. You know what I mean? I'm just asking. I know, but I'm just telling you, the guy's name is Chevrolet.

Okay. And he started Chevrolet, but there's nobody else. He's a Swiss-born racing driver. Yeah. Huh. But there's no youngest brother of Gaston. I don't know. That's how they would do it.

Well, he's Swiss-born, but he should be French, right? There's French, Italian, and German parts of Switzerland. Youngest brother Gaston won the 1920 Indianapolis. 500 died a year later. So they've died in a car probably, right? But the Ford's have tons of kids and siblings and grandkids. There's probably dozens of these people with the last name of Henry Ford. And the Chevrolet never heard of it.

Isn't that weird? Never met a person? No one prominent? No one goes, Chevrolet. You know, his great-grandfather started the, you know, and now he's a senator, but that guy's dad was a... No. 1915.

Chevrolet sold Durant his share. I was going to say, I wonder if it had something to do with the business history of the Chevrolet automobile. In other words, Ford's hung on to it

as a, you know, at least a major shaleholder, if not the private holder of the company, and Chevrolet may have sold out earlier or something. I get it, but there's still the name Chevrolet.

Yeah, yeah. I get you. I've never heard of it. ever. Ever. Ever. How come no one's ever met one of them? And we've never heard of one of them.

Is Chevrolet a common name in Switzerland, circa 1900? But that's not really the point. The point is, is even if there's only one, he came here. Yeah. He started this company and it still has his name on it. Yeah, it's weird. Look, you know, Elon Musk. You know, it's like going, how popular last name is Musk?

Oh, it's like, well, no, he's got a bunch of kids and his name will go on. At some point, 50 years from now, someone will talk to Larry Musk and go, it's your, yeah, no, my grandfather was Elon. Like, we'll have it. We'll know what it is. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Except for he didn't put his name on the car. It is odd. There's got to be a story there.

Chevrolet's not a common name. But that still doesn't matter because it's just one guy. He started a car company. They still call it Chevrolet. Maybe he was gay. And he was gay. Chevrolet. Well, I mean, look, he had a brother.

Here's the story. Well, that's a story. No, his gun thing is there was two brothers. One of them died in a car crash when he was 23, and Louis Chevrolet never had kids. Or something. That's got to be. Well, what else can it be?

It couldn't be he'd have nine sons. No. We'd know. And by the way, the Ford guys, who are all great, by the way, I've interviewed them for my docs and we have a good relationship and stuff. They're not in the business of running away from that. name. It's a name you'd like to embrace. You'd figure out a way to stay in that family and keep that business. It's not like Hitler. Right. It's a name might change. So Louis Chivalier found it. All right. Anyway.

Interesting. I want to know. I know I just want to know if we had kids and stuff, not we found it. You know, I want to bring up something else you mentioned about Mexicans coming to Los Angeles. Thank God Los Angeles, though, has many different immigrant sort of regions that have become those countries, but kind of buffer against a takeover kind of thing. You know what I mean? You're complaining about Los Angeles. What do you mean a takeover? When you say that eventually the region just becomes Mexico, right? Yeah.

Well, it has in many respects. In certain areas. Yeah. A lot of areas. Yeah, a lot of areas. I mean, a lot, you go, listen, you did not grow up in the San Fernando Valley. Yeah. I grew up in the San Fernando Valley.

You know, San Fernando, Pekoyma, these places are Mexico. Yeah. And by the way, here's what I'm saying, and I'm not exaggerating. If somebody said, we need to film in Mexico, but we don't have whatever paperwork, I'd go, just go to Pekoyama. Yeah, for sure. It's the same place. But go to Monterey Park, that's China. Go to Alhambra, that's Vietnam.

Right, right, right, right. But now you have to now start making value judgments because the Asian cultures are a lot cleaner than Mexicans. I don't know what it is, it's garbage. And so when you go to Pekoyama, it's full of fucking garbage. We go to Alhambra, it's not. And now we're getting into Stinghamberra. areas because we're like, but it's like Muslims.

Like we don't, I, there's nothing about their culture that mull, that gels with our culture. It just doesn't. And it, and you know, again, it seems like, oh, Muslims are bad or something. No, it's just whatever it is they're into doesn't work well with what we're into. Other cultures, there's some, look, it's not even about like what's better what's word. I would much rather live amongst Japanese than white people. I think that would be a cleaner, safer, and more orderly neighborhood. So I like that.

I feel that way about Jews in general. It's not like they're different or his skin. It's none of that. It's like there's certain cultures that are just sort of, for lack of a better term, they're trashy. There's, when you go to Pekoyma, there's fucking garbage everywhere. And there's graffiti and it looks like shit. And then people go, yeah, but Adam, they don't have money to money for what?

To keep their lawn to not pick up garbage to not graffiti on shit. Do you know what I mean? The money, first off, this money thing is total bullshit. Anybody can maintain their home. A little pride of ownership. I mean, okay, the fascia, the paint is peeling. Go buy a bucket of primer and spend a Saturday and just go fucking do it. It's all labor.

It's all your labor. It's not, there's no money. No, you don't have a gardener. I don't need a gardener. I can go pick weeds if I want. It's a pride kind of thing. And I don't know what the fuck is up with Mexico, but it's trashy. But certain cultures are just kind of different.

I don't know. There's probably European cultures. that are that way as well. Germans make a better car than Mexico does. Why? Well, the why is what's interesting to me. Why can't we get the best qualities of each and start to adopt? Why can't we do that?

Well, we could if we asked them to assimilate, but we can't ask them to assimilate because that's racist. And then you have politicians fighting for them not to assimilate. So we started English only in schools. You know, we try to do the English only and it gets fought every time. But that's an attempt at assimilation. Right. Louis Chevrolet died penniless in 1941.

My son's going to die penniless because he's not going to know what a penny is. He's going to have some credit on his Apple gift card when he goes. His final job before passing is he went back to work at the Chevrolet plant on the assembly line as a mechanic that are in a living. He had two children, both deceased, neither were in the car business. And I guess his kids didn't have... Not enough or they went back or something. You just think there'd be someone with that Chevrolet, you know? Somewhere.

Some old guy showing up at every NASCAR event going, my great dread. That's my name. You know what I mean? No. Sorry, what we say? Me? Mm-hmm. I forget.

I have no idea. Simulation. Yeah. You want the best of everything. Listen. I want the best of everything? No, what I'm saying? One should want the best of everything.

Mexican culture has a lot of upside. Yes. And then it's got a downside. Yes. And you just want the upside. I don't understand why we can't cultivate that. We won't. I understand the politician part.

I get that. They will go where they go to and do what they do. And if we don't ask. Quorum is one leader away from cleaning its shit up, in my humble opinion. Yes. But no one's going to do it and then you can't judge. Well, I think, you know, it makes me think, I've never had this. I'm having this off for the first time right now, that leaderlessness, leaders who are effective, has been our problem for quite some time.

Well, you know what the problem is. chicks because again no no but here's here's the here's the reality they like to be liked yeah they have a bias that way for sure yes and agreeableness it's called telling

people to clean up their shit and get their shit together is not a popularity by the way we talked last you know when uh beouac was still here when Elliot was still here uh about San Francisco the new payer guess what real estate does it get shit done

and took him two weeks to get shit done. As a background in real estate. Yeah. Okay. So women, again, I've been on the losing end of these conversations a million times. That's all COVID was for me. It's me fucking telling people's stuff they didn't want to hear and then getting shunned or yelled at or ostracized. You know what I mean?

So if women's number one goal is to not be ostracized, you know, then you have a big female city council and also they have this empathy thing where it's like the homeless guy's just trying to get along you know the young black the young black kid deserves a second shot not to be put in prison you know so they just can't they they can't manage them

so yes somebody should go to Pekoma and go what the fuck is going on this place is a trash heap and then people start saying they're underserved Why does there need to be garbage in front of your house? What does that have to do with underserved? How much money do you need? Do you know what I mean?

What's you can, listen, I used to do it all the time. I was pretty nuts with recycling. And I just, it just stuff bothered me. It's just like, put that aluminum cans and that blue one and put the garbage in the brown one, you know. And now it's all a farce and who gives a fuck. And it doesn't do anything, like everything. It's nothing. But here's the point.

I think aluminum still. Maybe. Recycling is one big point of, it's like global warming. It's just one big scam. Everything's a fucking scam. But here's the deal. I had these guys, Hispanic guys, and they work for me and we're building houses. And there's like four or five guys.

And we ate lunch. They ate lunch every day. And they drink Coke and Pepsi and stuff. like that. And at some point, like, inevitably, I would just find all the Coke cans in the garbage or on top of the leaves, you know, in the, in the, in the trim can or whatever. And I would just be like, listen to me, take the can and put it in the blue, you know, and it'll go, yeah, and the next day it's like, and at a certain point, at a certain point, I was like, listen, I'm going to fire you if you keep doing this. Stop, just put the metal. Like, they understood.

They don't care. It's like, it's not. part of their culture, I guess. It's just not. I don't know why. You know, they got bigger fish to fry. They got real problems and recycling's like falls way down on it. It's a, I don't know. They like soccer.

They don't like football. You know what I mean? I don't know why, but they don't do it. That's not what they're into. Now, once you spread, you sprinkle that in amongst a culture that does a lot of recycling, then you can wean them over. So if I got one of those guys who does, recycle and then I got five white guys who are vehement about recycling, then at some point

he'll start recycling. If there's just five of them doing it, eating lunch, there isn't recycling. Why would there be? Is anyone surprised? I mean, when all the, you know, when all the Muslims heading to England and now we're opening a mosque, you know, and it's prayer, we have a call to prayer. So why not? That's what you do.

Yeah, of course. So then you have to judge. That's a problem. Well, it's a problem for the ladies who want to be popular. Because this is going to be a lot of unpopular discussions. And by the way, all the city, running a city is just doing a bunch of shit that's like, you know, you don't want to do. Yeah. That's right.

Homeless, like, yeah, that's tough. I would have a lot of difficulty locking up a 17-year-old boy for 22 years. Yeah. I really would. Yeah. I get it. But that's your job. Yeah.

Okay. Drew? No, I agree. You agree. All right. Let's see. Salt Lake City. Wise guys.
