The Adam and Dr. Drew Show - #2088 - Rich Kid Communist Hasan Piker Is a Dope + Honoring the Legacy of George Floyd | Part 1

Episode Date: May 28, 2026

February 4, 2019Adam and Dr. Drew open the show with Drew asking Adam if he has heard about the recent comments made by David Alan Grier on the Howard Stern Show and how Adam interpreted them. The guys go deep in trying to understand the meaning behind his comments and how he came to believe the things he was saying. Dr. Drew also makes an impassioned plea for Adam to reach out and try to get a dialogue going with DAG in an attempt to salvage the friendship. They then turn to the phones and speak with a caller that has questions about the pros & cons of micro dosing and another whose girlfriend has a child with autism and is wondering about the potential should they have a child together.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. Get on. Get on the church. Get it on. Dr. Drew's a board of fertilized specialists with the Dick Spence and Speck. It's going on there, Drewski. Impulse control, buddy. Something you've said for a long time, that if people can delay,

gratification, that might be more important than just about anything else for people. Well, we are having a major crisis in this country about delayed gratification and impulse control. It's your door dash theory, or zero gravity theory, ultimately. Yeah, it's a, see, when I say, you know, people, I always say, Diet and exercise. I just, that's my metaphor for all things grandpa knew, you know, just to start a work. Family and education. Family and education.

Family and diet and exercise. Like real basic shit. And then people want to get on Ozempic and they went their door dash. And I'm like, these are shortcuts and they will not serve you. They'll not serve you. And they're like, well, what's wrong with? And it's like. And that's my version, which is no free lunch in nature.

No free lunch in nature. Right. And so I was studying this long before I knew I was studying it. And it's basically a study that came out. And I'll paraphrase it. Andrew's looking for it. But Drew knows about it. So Drew can correct me if I got something wrong.

But I think it was in Australia. They just said, look, we're going to follow kids from birth till age 45. I mean, 40 years. Well, we'll follow them continuously, but we're going to die, but someone will follow them and they'll be 70. We're just going to follow newborns and see what the success rate is for these kids. And what traits are associated with that? Yeah, yeah, sure. What traits are associated with success.

And it turned out that it didn't have IQ wasn't that big a deal and family. economic status, wealth, like all this stuff Bernie Sanders never stops talking about. It really wasn't a factor. It was all impulse control. It was all can you control yourself? And it starts showing up when they're two or three. Can you, can you, Drew, explain the marshmallow. Well, there is essentially a study.

It's a study that's been assailed, and yet it is emerging from its, time of something under scrutiny to have been held to be quite true. And essentially what they do is they put a kid in a room, they put two marshmallows in front of them and say, listen, if you just wait a couple minutes here, you couldn't eat one, but don't eat both. And there's more marshmallows ahead if you're able to hang out. And then the experimenter goes, hang on a second, I've got to leave the room for a second. And a lot of kids just throw the marshmallows in their mouth immediately.

And those kids don't do so well, it turns out. And other kids employ various strategies to make sure they contain their impulses. Yes. So impulse control, turns out it's a really important thing. It may be the most important thing. So with these kids, the ones that did not have impulse control, you know, made less money, had more addiction, had worse health outcomes. obviously they couldn't stop smoking or drinking or eating, you know, junk food or whatever is. And it was literally just across the board, all measurables, the people who lacked the impulse control did the worst at everything.

And there's a, even a sort of a graph maybe at the bottom or something. Yeah, there it is. And you can blow it up a little bit. but I so I kind of did this study now you're you're talking I want to also notice that there's a difference between impulse control and delay gratification yeah what is that what is that I mean I know they're slightly different but it's the same person no one has no one both important but but no one has one and not the other. Correct.

If you have an impulse problem, you have a delayed gratification problem. Correct. And if you can do the delayed gratification, you don't have an impulse problem. I think the reason I'm parsing them out is some people have stronger impulses than others, but if they have a very strong sense of what the importance of delayed gratification, they can still manage a stronger impulse. I have, so I have the impulse control. and I have delayed gratification.

Yeah. And it has served me really well. Yes. And it's the difference between me and the guys I grew up with who I realize have no impulse control and no delayed gratification. And so it turns. But if you blow up this chart here, Andrew, we can sort of see what the measurables are here

because I can't quite read it from here. I, by the way, in the impulse control and the delayed gratification, I've been on a diet. Oh, yeah. And I've literally sat at a high top with Mike August and watching me eat an entire thing of fish and chips. I just sat 14 inches from him and watched him. Then the other night at the comedy club, he hit shrimp with Feduccini Alfredo. And I watch him eat the whole thing.

And then I left a huge, there was another huge plate of fries all in the green. room. I'm singing. I just stared. I just stared at all of it after of not eating dinner that night. And they kept coming in. It was a huge restaurant. They go, you want anything? You want anything? You want anything? You want anything? And I was like, no. And then yesterday I sat across and watched someone ate fresh guacamole and fresh chips. And I literally just sat and watched. By the way, the people that don't account for that when you're starving, I don't know. It's a weird thing. But people will, if I knew someone wasn't partaking, I would probably go, I just get a Diet Coke and I'll eat when we get home. But now they order, they go right in.

That is not the graph we wanted. I said the word graph, didn't I? The bar graph. Bar graph. I didn't put bar in there because- You didn't put cartoon. He said bar-com. I just said blow up the graph so we can see the thing.

But there's another, I screenshot at each one so that I could specifically blow it out. All right. Well, just give us the graph, please. So here's what's important. What's interesting is part of my delay gratification is I'm gratified by gains. Yes. And so I don't want to lose the gains. Yes.

That's where I can really keep my – so getting started for me is harder than continuing. Yes. Yes. Thank you. That's a good point. Getting started for me is harder than continuing. You have to decide – you know, it's like, okay, now's the time. Like you have to be ready.

And when people that work in motivational worlds talk about, you know, pre-contemplative, contemplative preparation, change. Yes. And then sustaining the change. For me, it's a simple thing. You have a date for something. Could be an event for me. Walk a Fame star. Could be a car race or something.

And I just, a month out, I just circle that event and go, all right, I'm going to be down 10 pounds by that. or whatever, and then you just go about it. Yeah, that's your version of that. All right. This is interesting, right? So we're looking at a bar graph of adult outcomes comparing self-control scores of the lowest self-control quintile and the highest self-control quintile. Yes. And I would call this a positive result.

It's like, it's literally, is it 10 times? 10 times more likely to have substance dependence, financial difficulty, criminal conviction, single parenthood, and even physical health problems. Ten times. Well, is that ten times? Well, they're around an eight to ten there, and then they get up towards 80. You got between 20 and 80 is... Four times there, okay.

That's all sort of in that range. This is your, you have a better visual. The point is, is it's significant. It's health problems. It is basically 20% versus 100 or close to 100%. Substance is, you know, 18, 19% versus, you know, 90%. Financial difficulties, again, 18, 19%, 90%. Criminal conviction more like 15% versus 80% and single parenthood,

more like 14% versus 40% versus 70%. It is significant in all we need. And by the way, like I said, it doesn't matter how much money your family has and it doesn't matter IQ. So wouldn't the next obvious investigation be how to enhance that self-control? Right. But someone is going to deem this racist and then we won't be able to help people. Right. But I... I'm going to bet having lack of trauma, less chaos, less moving around, less chaos. That is shown to be more important than anything else. So chaos. Yeah, but it's a discipline is a discipline and you can teach it. You have to, you have to do it. A habit, it's a habit. It's a habit. Right? And so it's not a discipline

that's, that is something that has done, you know, a few times. It has to be sustained. Yes. But at some point, you're going to have. have to impose it on yourself. And I, like I said, I knew it because I grew up with guys that had none of it. And I used to say to these guys when I'm telling Drew about this, you know, my nickname was Walt. Grandpa Walt. Well, it ended up being Walt, but it was for Grandpa Walton.

It was from the Waltons. I was called Grandpa because I was saying to everybody, hey, you know, where are we going to be in 10 years here, guys? You know, we're just like drinking beer and trying to get laid and having fun. And if these guys got 100 bucks, they spent it on sushi, you know, that night. And it's like, you don't even have 100 bucks. They wasted, they did everything wrong. And I kept saying to them, where are we going to be? Where are we going to be kind of thing?

Yeah. And they made fun of me. And so I said, well, you know what, I'm not going to be doing this when I'm 30. You know, we live in paycheck to paycheck and no insurance and living this kind of life. It's uncomfortable. It's not a good life. And I didn't want it, you know. And so I set about to change that trajectory.

And, you know, I took my class. glasses at night and did my stuff at night. I did a lot of free. Everything was free or it cost me money. And I, they couldn't control themselves at all. I remember my buddy Chris got put on like academic probation. And he,

between his junior and senior year, whatever was, he wasn't going to be eligible to play football because he never showed up for like the election. Was he as into football as you were? He wasn't as into it, but he was more talented than I was and had a lot of natural ability. And was huge. And it was, no, no, he wasn't huge, but he's big and he was strong. And he was getting offers already in the junior year for scholarships and things of that nature.

and could have gotten himself a scholarship to a college if he was eligible to play his senior year. And so it was worked out that he was going to go to Van Nuys High for summer school in between junior and senior years. So then he'd get his eligibility back and then he could go play his senior year and then he could, you know, get a free ride to some college. and I remember kind of chaperoning him, like going like, hey, I'll get you in the morning, give you a ride, drop you off. You knew he was in trouble. He couldn't do it. Well, these guys didn't do a lot of the stuff they said they would do or were supposed to do. And, you know, he showed up late a couple of days.

And it's like a summer school is like a six-week program. or something. It wasn't the entire summer and it wasn't even that bad. I don't know, some 8 to noon, you know, for six weeks. Nowhere to be found. Didn't show up. Basically

dropped out, never, never, just, you know, he went to the beach, he wanted to party, we want to have fun, and went to go to the reservoir and drink beers and stuff. And it just never, and it just, just flamed out and just never, never showed up his senior year and just, and just, and

same guy that got run over and then got some money and went to Hawaii. Yeah, yeah, with a check for $11,000. Yeah, yeah. And my other buddy raves the same way. Neither one of them played. They both were potential football stars, couldn't make it their senior year. Like, couldn't get it together to go to their senior year of high school and, like, play sports. So you could, someone could argue that, or be critical, that you're unforgiving of poor people, right? I am, yes. Well, no, I'm realistic about poor people.

This AOC version of, Mom, stealing bread to try to go look at the film, bitch, and see them looting the Louis Vuitton store. That's who they are. What I'm telling you is I know who these people are. I lived with these people. I watch these people. I study these people. They're not virtuous people who give them.

you the shirt off their back. They're mainly moochers who figure out ways. They're mooters who fucking steal shit from people. There's nothing noble about them at all. And they're exactly where they should be because of their own actions. Nobody put them where they are. Which begs the question again, is there something we could do to help them? And it's certainly not given the things. We could stop saying they were stealing bread when they were stealing handbags. So it's being realistic about what the issue is, of course. And number two, not giving things. Because that creates more trouble.

Nobody more. Of course, nobody in my family ever fucking worked a weekend once. One Saturday. Ever. Never. So don't give me this like super hardworking into this bullshit. These guys pedal all the time. It's bullshit.

These people are, first off, They work hard because they have to. Okay. They're on a construction site, not because they want to be on a construction site. If they'd love to fall off the ladder and claim a disability and stay home, they love it. They did not properly train for anything. My two buddies I'm talking about are going to a job site today. I'm not.

They're working harder than me. Yes, technically. Find that fucking retard Hassan Piker talking about hard work. Yes, that's what I want to. There's fucking idiots. Of course, I used to work 25 times harder than I work today. Look, I crawled underneath buildings from the 30s and 20s that were condemned for earthquake issues in Korea Town with about three, probably about three foot a crawl space

and had to dig footings, which are miniature graves, basically underneath, you know, plumbing walls while fucking pipes and shit were dripping and shit down there in dirt, my belly. And no, I did not do it with a shovel because there wasn't enough room. I did it with a fucking coffee can. So believe you fucking me, I worked a lot harder than sitting here in air conditioning and talking to Dr. Drew. Yes. And guess what? Now I make 300 times more than I did back then.

Right. So what are you talking about, Hassan Pai? Well, watch this clip. These guys are fucking nuts. After the break. I'm sorry. They're fools. After the break, we will see this.

This is Adam Carolla from the Adam Carolla show. If you care about predictions, you care. about props. And right now, it's all about playoff pressure from the hardwood to the ice. Every possession, every shift, every shot, well, it all matters. Bet Online has always been the home of real sports betting. Deep markets, sharp odds, and player props built for fans who know these games aren't random. The NBA playoffs are heating up, stars taken over, series swinging on a single score and in the NHL, it's all speed. Grit and sudden death moments where one goal changes everything. Lines, tighten, pressure builds, and bet online delivers live betting and in-game odds that move

with every bucket, every breakaway, every goal. This is where the action happens. We're experienced shows and where the smallest edge makes the biggest, derbytes. Bet Online. The game starts here. At first, I didn't think it was real. I woke up to this blinding light, and I was transported to another place. Pluto TV! Then I heard a voice. Come with me if you want to live.

There were thousands of movies and shows, and they were all free. The truth is our scene. It's just so beautiful. On Pluto TV, free streaming of Terminator 2, Fringe Arrow, the 100 NX files may cause excitement, loss of sleep, and sudden belief in extraterrestrials, no credit cards or alien encounters necessary.

Pluto TV, stream now, pay never. All right, so this is, isn't it underlying this sort of a fundamental understanding of society and economics? Yes, yes. And by the way, this Hassan Piker douche, this is not his idea. Right. My mom in 1972. By the way, I know all these ideas because I fucking heard him when I was nine. I heard them

I've heard them all 50 years ago. I will attest to the fact that we both lived through the 70s, we both declared it the worst decade in the history of this country. Thank God it's over. Unbelievable that we're hearing the same shit all over again. They're bringing it back like bell bottoms. Yeah, so my mom would go like, these, I don't know why, these basketball players, big tall guys,

they stand under the hoop, they throw on the ball, he drops it in the hoop and he gets paid a hundred times more than a school teacher like okay dude by the way no wonder you don't have any money right you don't know how any of this shit works bitch right so what the basketball player

should give his money to the teachers how's that work? The only thing they're clear about is they don't give any money to anybody ever including pay taxes well let's let's all my mom complain about rich people never pay taxes right

So pardon me if I'm not listening to you. We should tell the after we do this, we should tell the champagne story again because it's so pertinent. It's a great metaphor. Okay. All right. Here's Hassan Piker. Jeff Bezos is nothing without all the labor that allowed him to become a billionaire.

Okay. There is no value without labor. Jeff Bezos was unbelievably and immensely lucky. Hold on a second. You know what I don't really understand. about the labor thing. And even about the, you know, you're off the back of profit, profiting off of, you know, it's like I built houses my whole life.

You go in, you build the house, you get $15 an hour. It's up in the Hollywood Hills. It's up in Maliboutes and Silver Lake or whatever. And then 10 years later, the fucking house has worked five times as much in SoCal. They don't come back and give you a rebate check or anything. You fucking, you got. for the work you did. You got fucking paid.

The guy bought a house in Silver Lake for 300 grand. You came, you know, a long time ago, you came in there and did a gut job on it, fix it all up. And then seven years later, he sells it for one, two. Where's my rebate check? I don't get it. I got paid. I showed up. By the way, it was my own volition.

I chose to do it. Embedded in here is a disdain for and a lack of understanding of ownership. and once you dig further, even property. You're not supposed to have property. Bezos got super lucky, but he built this with labor. Yes, everyone who lives in a home, the home was built by somebody else. But let's even say it more broadly. Let's make it more broadly.

All business is relationships where you're relying on all the people you hire to build your business on your behalf and you own it. Well, the other part is... You can't do with other people. That's true. Nobody has to work at McDonald's. They don't want to pay. Okay, have McDonald's not pay.

I'll tell you what. Let's do an experiment. McDonald's. Stop paying your employees. See what happens. And then, once nobody comes in, you can offer what you call slave wages. I will pay you $2 an hour.

And then no one will ever fucking work there again. That's how it's going to work. You don't have to work at McDonald's. You don't have to build a house with me in Silver Lake, and you don't have to work at Amazon if you do not want to. Right. I don't even get why this is a discussion, but all right, let's hear. But I will concede, though, all businesses, everything,

is built with other people. Yes. Yes. All right, here we go. Bezos was unbelievably and immensely lucky. This is luck again. At numerous points in his life, I'm sure he worked hard.

But you know who else works hard? A fucking teacher, a nurse, okay? Probably a lot harder than Jeff Bezos ever did. Jeff Bezos has not worked a billion times or 20 billion times harder than the average teacher or the average nurse does. He was. Hold on. Pause it. How many weekends has the average teacher worked versus Jeff Bezos, bitch?

How many weekends? How many fucking weekends do teachers work? I'll answer. Zero. And they get three months off during summer. Nobody gets three months off. Maybe if you live in Greece, you get fucking three months off. Nobody gets three months off and never works a fucking weekend.

See if Jeff Bezos, when he was starting Amazon, took three months off for the summer and never worked a weekend. Fuck off. fucking nurses and teachers the two shittiest profession too nuttiest fucking profession how does this reasoning

figure into the money that Nancy Pelosi and AOC and what about their do they have hundreds of millions of dollars some of them yes

did they work hundreds of millions of time harder than the people who paid the taxes he doesn't he conveniently leaves out his heroes

but luck first thing they do they love to work luck and I'll tell you why because if I worked real hard for my money and you wanted to take it, that's a moral dilemma. If I got lucky, not a moral dilemma. Right. All right.

Here we go. 20 billion times harder than the average teacher or the average nurse does. He was, however, 20 billion times luckier than the average teacher or the average nurse. Right. Making the right decisions. Being at the right place and the right time. Being born of the right family. These are all unbelievable.

a second. Making the right decisions is not luck. We just did the whole delayed gratification thing. I made the right decisions when I was in my early 20s. My friends did not make those same decisions, but that wasn't about luck. It was very volitional. How does he explain the money he's making? Luck. By the microphone, yeah. Here's the thing. I knew the guy was dangerous and I knew his rhetoric was shit. and all that kind of stuff. But I didn't know he was a dope.

You know, this is, this proves he's a, he's a, he's a dope. I love when people just post pictures of him and his riding outfit with his high boots and his helmet and stuff sitting on his pony when he was fat and 13. Oh, wow. Thanks. Thanks, Rich Kid. Oh, he was a rich kid. Great.

Yeah. Isn't he in some trouble right now, too? Help me with this. I don't know. Go back. Just go back. Andrew hates him. Everyone should aim, but.

However. That's why it. Go ahead. 20 billion times luckier than the average teacher or the average nurse. 20 billion times luckier. Making the right decisions, being at the right place and the right time, being born of the right family. These are all unbelievably important factors in this, in the success that people arrive at. I guess being, if you consider being a billionaire to be a good thing, also fortunate enough

to be a little bit of a sociopath. Not even a little bit. a lot bit of a sociopath to be able to be vicious. All right. So it's 20 billion times luckier than poor Chuck over here. As far as I can tell, it's not been the recipient of any luck. He is under investigation of the federal government, U.S. Treasury Department over recent travel to Cuba, his March participation in Nuestra America Convoy.

Let me explain. Is that with, what's her name, the former Green? Look, these people are communists who hate this country. That's about it. But they're luxury communists. They're not living the life of a country. Right. Luxury ideas.

Believes. Yeah. Vroxia beliefs. Yeah. But I'm calling them luxury communists. That's the picture we laugh about it. I like that. First off, the notion that you would be 12 and own a blazer jacket sounds exotic to me.

How about just be right on a horse? Oh, well, no, you could go to, you know, the Burbank Stables or something, if your school went there or something, or someone had a birthday party and they rented out two horses or something. You could do that. Now, owning a helmet, he's wearing a white tie and a blazer, and this is exotic. But no one I grew up with would have a helmet. Yeah. No way.

Purchase. Weirdly, where I, the way I. grew up, I didn't know anyone who owned golf clubs or anything. It was like, that stuff was exotic. That was exotic in my world. Yes. Listen, my dad, for you dad had friends who golfed, who owned golf clubs. My dad, the idea of skis was like wild. Like, are you kidding me? You're going to, why would you're going to buy? I know. Holy shit. And I remember I bought a parka. Yeah. And, I had to buy it super on sale, like in a, not a thrift shop, but like a clearance thing. And it was like two sizes too small.

But that was the only way I could go skiing. I had a parka. Well, I never went skiing, but I had a parka, but it was the kind that was filled with the Dakron pile, not the down. Yeah, the weird non-puffy. Yeah. I had that too. The sad parta.

Yeah. The saddest of all the parkas. Yeah, it was filled with Owens Corning, rolled insulation. Yeah. It was weird. Some sort of cancerous chemical that didn't do anything. I'm sure. Yeah, the cool kids had the down ones.

I just, it was like, you got to remember, I come from poor also. It's just the next generation. No, your family had money, but your dad thought like a poor person. He was a poor person, but he was, here's what. But he made money. No, no, no, but listen. They came here from Ukraine with, we are going to sacrifice and delay our gratification for our kids.

Yeah. They're going to delay their gratification to be successful. Yes. Yeah. But your dad had a Cadillac and a condo at the beach. Not when all that was going on. That was later. Well, no, but how old were you when you were still there?

By the time I was 15, we sort of found her way out, I would say. But before that, it was like, I think my mom and sister eroded his will. They warmed down? They warmed out. I couldn't do it. Shank Uighur or whatever. I don't know that guy, the big dope. Oh, yeah.

Big dope who yells at me all the time. What's Adam Carolla? No, he knows nothing. Wow, he's a former chair of the board. His dad's former chair of the board directors of a multi-billion-dollar Turkish conglomerate. Jesus. It's always perfect. It's perfect.

By the way. It's like a madame. Right. You know what? We know what, Drew. No, I've said to you all the time, I can act like an asshole because I, I know. know I'm not one. Yeah.

And I can make racist jokes because I know I'm not one. I can tell you about poor people because I was a poor person. I lived and worked with these people. I fuck off. You can't if you come from something where you had a pony and a riding helmet. I can. I will fucking tell you about poor people. There's nothing good about them.

Oh, by the way, if poor people were all virtuous, we'd have no crime and no theft and know anything. It's not rich people aren't stealing and committing those violent crimes. Who's committing all the fucking crimes? It's poor people, you fucking idiots. It's not rich people. Rich people have shit they need to protect. They can't involve themselves. According to your mom, they get their stuff by breaking the law, by being unethical breaking the law only. Well, here's, here's why my mom would be cheering this on. My mom knew she was not, successful by any measurement, even if people came from the 1700s and saw her horseless carriage and things of that nature.

They would still label her a loser. They would from centuries past. Yes. Okay. So she had no measurement. Just the hairstyle. Just the hairstyle would do it. Right.

Okay. So, um, so she, these people. understand where they are. What they need to do is not feel the sting of being a loser. And so they like to congregate together and then they like to sort of do a form of gossip that helps them sleep better at night, which is saying that guys like Jeff Bezos are lucky and they got so lucky. How come none of their friends ever get lucky? How come Jim Carolla never got lucky? Where's all the luck? Yeah. What about them?

They don't know anyone who's luck? How come the whole Gravich family live next door to us? How come no one got lucky? Nobody got lucky that you know. How do you account for that? But Bezos, he took all the luck. And now you can feel better when you go to sleep on your mattress that's on the floor with no box spring. Because someone else took your mattress frame and your box spring because Elon Musk got lucky.

he hogged all the luck, and now you don't have air conditioning. And just to remind us up, the gravages, isn't that where the son got shot or something and the daughter was a stroke? These are the people your mom admired. Yes. Yes. Yeah. Well, I'll tell you one thing that these people don't like.

They don't need. So they got Hassan Piker talking about luck, right? And my mom would have went, oh, yeah, I'm going to listen to this guy. What they don't need is me poking around asking them what the fuck. That they get away from fast. So if you are a loser, you'll be embraced by them. If you're walking around asking questions, that's a problem. That's how they roll.

And didn't you tell me she was sort of a scary person, too, that would yell at you for eating her peaches or plums. Dorothy. Apricot. Oh, no, plums probably. All right, we'll take a break. I'll tell you about them right after this. Hymns. Well, when guys are having bedroom issues, usually they hesitate to take action.

She got nice later, like way later in her life. She was mean. Son and daughter had major issues. And, you know, basically, what you would call white trash, old school. You know, people act. Well, people act like white people weren't. poor, they didn't have fucking substance problems and addiction and issues and everything, everything.

Of course, Eddie, the son got into construction. As I've said all the time, construction is not something you get into because you're a craftsperson. It's a catch-all for poor people. It's what you do when you cannot function in other environments, which these guys can't. They can't function. in a professional setting. Seems like that would be opportunity for people that could delay gratification and apply themselves.

If they're competing against people that can't do that, it sounds like construction will be an interesting place to send people if they don't have a direction. Well, it is. Well, you don't, I mean, again, you don't, nobody embarks on a career in building. You end up on a job. like picking up garbage. And then if you show, you know, half these guys don't show up Monday.

They're hungover or whatever. If you show up Monday, you'll start rising. Right. Rising up. You just show up. First off, just showing up and sort of not being daryling. You know, these guys can be real flaky guys. And also, back then,

You know, the thing about construction is, if you didn't show up, you just didn't show up. It wasn't like you told anybody. You didn't ask for the day off, you know. There was no pay. By the way, the pay kept people in line. Right. But tell the champagne story. Oh, yeah.

It is a sham. The champagne story I like to lovingly tell about my mom is. The reason I say, I tell it is because my mom thought like all these people. I know how these people think because that's how my mom thought. You know, when I hear Bernie Sanders, who's going on his fourth house, saying if we could just get 5% of these billionaires money, we could afford. By the way, you know the part about it, you can find Bernie saying the clip. But it's like, if we can just get 5%, then we'll pay teachers.

And we'll have, you know, youth whatever, and we'll have free whatever. And it's like, you guys are going to take that money and distribute it fairly and properly. Right. And efficiently, I have no. Why should we have faith in? I have no zero thoughts about you. Your problem is you don't have enough money coming in. You just handed out $10 billion.

In California, we just gave PPE loans to prisoners. There's not a fiber in my body that thinks you would take this money and efficiently distribute it. How about this? How about you do that for a while? And then we'll talk about giving you more money. Right now, I don't see anything. Right. There's no one that distributes capital less effectively than government.

Yes. The least efficient, least effective manager of capital. Also, you just make this stuff up. You know, you go, well, if Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos just committed to giving us 5%, then we'd have schools and free buses and universal health care and prenatal care, it's like, you would? I don't see any evidence of that. We just gave you $25 billion for homeless. I just stepped over a fucking homeless guy on the way in. Really?

You think I believe that? Why would someone believe that? And also, these things are not knowable. Not with your fucking history, for sure. You don't know. You get prenatal care, schools, and every teacher get a 20% cost of living wage. You don't know any of this shit. You're just fucking an old man who's up there talking.

Making shit up. You're just making shit up. My mom is a metaphor or a kind of example of how these people think across the board. And it's been going on for a long time. I've got to hear Bernie say this he's fighting oligarchy god do these guys ever just go away they gave that up too are they I know I know let's let's hear what he wants I introduce recently legislation to establish a 5% annual wealth tax annual on the 938 billionaires in America who collectively are worth more than $8 trillion dollars annual wealth time down to zero till they have nothing

I guess yeah and I want to just to give you an example by the way when there's a 75 year old guy sitting behind him I always feel sorry for that guy like oh you bought into this shit

you're just fucking taking it to the old man grave yeah my mom did it your dad did it yeah my mom more but yeah yeah and then the other thing that's crazy it's so funny I hear all these

especially during this cycle, you know, talking about, hey, got to elect me, because I'm going to stand up, going to fight for Californians, are going to fight, I'll get you jobs and houses and stuff. Like, when did it be, when did we sign off on you guys doing everything all the time for everyone? I, I would like a world where you just sort of backed off a little bit and we just have a little dominion to go out and do what we'd like. How about that? I don't, when are you taking everything? It's going on for everything. chicken at every pot, you know, it was 150 years ago. And it's, but they just advanced so far now where they're just...

Chicken every pot was not 150 years ago. I thought it was 1850. No, no, no. Because it was two cars in every garage. That was later, yeah. Oh, those weren't connected. Oh, I don't go. Look up the year of the chicken and every pot.

All right, so let, let Bernie go, and then I'll take up my mouth. And I want to just to give you an example of how... Not that I'm going to do this. Yeah, it's never going to happen. The level of inequality is in America. I want to tell you what this legislation would accomplish. This is a 5% tax on fewer than 1,000 billioners on their wealth. This is what it would do.

That's fair. If this legislation would have passed in its first year, it would provide every man, woman, and child in a household less than 150,000, It's the vast majority of households with a $3,000 direct payment. Did you get that during COVID? Family of four, family of four, $12,000. That's going to fix that. This legislation and the money it would bring in would tackle the housing crisis

by being able to have the resources to build 7 million units of low income and affordable housing. Not in Los Angeles now. regulation. This tax on billionaires would expand Medicare to cover dental vision and hearing. So we'll just start making a list. It would guarantee universal affordable childcare. It guarantees it.

It would strengthen public education by ensuring that no teacher in America earns less than $60,000 a year. It would end the crisis we now experience in home health care so that seniors and people with disabilities could live with dignity in their own homes.

All right. I'll give the closet. Live in dignity, right, then get free shit. Getting free shit is not living in dignity. It's the opposite of living in dignity. All right. Who are the people that are applying this? Get the fuck to work and this is never going to happen

and why do you keep thinking it's going to happen? This guy's basically the white version of a civil rights race hustling leader, you know, Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton, yelling at black people all day, what they're going to do for them. We're going to get your reparations. We're going to fix the legal stuff they're going to do. None of that's ever going to happen. You could fix it at home if you wanted to, but these guys aren't doing any of it for you. So my mom, when do these guys just fucking go home to their fourth house and just call it a life?

It's crazy. It just never ends. All right. He's a hero because he's asking other people to give you shit. By the way, I love the fact that the people they're asking the money to get the money from are the villains. He's the hero who does nothing but go around the country in a private jet yelling at the people who have the money. Who, by the way, can't go around the country in a private jet because they're fucking working. Okay.

All right. My mom. And again, not a. slight. By the way, it was misattributed to Hoover from 1928, so almost a hundred years ago. So where it was? But that was Hoover, but it was centuries earlier with King Henry, the fourth of France. Wow. Yes. Okay. So now. So Drew was right, although I was a little bit right.

I would have put it, I was sort of placing a pre-Civil war, so I was early. No, that's a much more modern, but, but, but, but, but, but did he do a car in every garage or two cars in every garage? Or is that like later in the 40s or something? Anyway, okay, there's the whole point. My mom showed up to Mother's Day with me, as that is Hoover with the cars in the garage. Okay. With me and her husband and her daughter and her mom, and I think it was about it. It was five family members.

The only ones at this party would either be my mom would be her daughter, her mom, her son, or her husband. Okay. And I showed up with a bottle of Don Perrione champagne as a guise. gift to my mother for Mother's Day, which I sat down at the entry of my grandmother's house. And I did not present it to my mom because she was maybe in the kitchen or something, but I just sort of set it there. And then later on, because my mom is a champagne liberal, she walked back and she saw that there was a bottle of fancy champagne there. and she said to me, I believe it was to me, but it was sort of to the group even.

She said, well, Adam brought some fancy champagne. Adam, could we open it and share it with everyone at the gathering? And I said, I didn't bring that for this group. That's a gift for you for Mother's Day. And I just handed her the gift as a Mother's Day gift. And she said, oh, okay. And she sort of changed the subject. And then later on, I noticed that it was at the entry hall.

They had sort of a bench where people threw their jackets down or something. And the champagne was wrapped up and sort of hidden in a sweater for her to take home. So she wanted champagne. But she wanted my champagne. And once my champagne became her champagne, then she didn't want champagne anymore, at least not for you. Right. And for you means her immediate family. So imagine extending this out to strangers.

Well, it's like your grandmother in the dining room table. Yes. For a caretaker. Right. I should buy it. She shouldn't buy for it. This is how these people think. I got a front row seat to it.

It's a character issue. And no, they're not proud, and know they're not hardworking, and know they're not noble. they're fucking mooches. So fuck off. I know exactly who these people are. And by the way, it's pretty universal. They're all that way. It's what you would be if you wanted Dom Perillon and you didn't have any money.

What would you do? You'd figure out a way to get it. Yeah. And you'd fucking take it home. And you're not sharing it with these people because there's five or six people. You open this thing. You get one glass. I'd love to talk more about fixing it.

if there's something we could do. All right. I will do that in the next episode. Let's see. Friday, June 12th, Oklahoma City, Bricktown Comedy Club, two shows, and then Saturday on the 13th, Tulsa, Bricktown as well.

And then San Ana, California, Jordan Family Class of Cars are doing a K-Rock sort of abridged screening. I don't know if Drew wants to come out to that or not, but it's pretty cool. It could be interesting. Go to Amcrow.com for all the live stuff. What do you got, Drew?

Doctor.com, Dr. Drew on X and Dr. Pinsky on Instagram. So, until next time, Madam Crow for Dr. Drew, saying, Mahala. At first, I didn't think it was real. I woke up to this blinding light, and I was transported to another place. Pluto TV. Then I heard a voice. Come with me if you want to live.

There were thousands of movies and shows, and they were all free. The truth is ours. It's just so beautiful. On Pluto TV, free streaming of Terminator 2, Fringe Arrow, the 100 NX files may cause excitement, loss of sleep, and sudden belief in extraterrestrials. No credit cards or alien encounters necessary.
