Episode Date: May 30, 2026

Adam tells Drew about his miserable childhood bedroom before the guys discuss Minneapolis honoring George Floyd in a Memorial Day social media post. They break down the importance of fathers in a child’s life, the types of discipline that actually work for kids, and Dr. Drew explains why he believes government-run healthcare for all would be disastrous.

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 on. Yeah, man. Get on in the morning now. Oh, that's a chase.

I think the guy's name was Chase. I've been listening to a lot of 70s music lately. I don't know why. Some of it is not as bad as. I remembered it. Oh, you can't go wrong with Chase. Yeah, yeah. That's a great song.

Yeah, well, first off, people played instruments back then. Yeah. I listened to the Ba-Marimba band. I've actually... I told you for five minutes I wanted to play the marimba because of that band. Somebody, Rudy News guy, he said Herb Alpert's going to be... at the Hollywood Bowl or whatever on July 5th, I think it is. And I said, let's go, man.

I want to see Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass. There's 10 songs you know of Herb Alpert in the Tijuana Brass. And there'll probably be some Bahamarimba rumblings there too. Now Herb Alpert's like 95 years old. It's crazy. Crazy. Crazy. And by the way, I was...

Got lucky. Super lucky. The Marimba was so popular in the 70s, and I guess they just ended in the 70s. I worked with a nurse who had a graduate degree in Marimba. Really? Yeah. There was no work. There was nowhere to play.

Those things, those, I guess, those are items. And those kind of items would have been too costly for us. Also, our houses were so small. I don't know where you would put things. We couldn't have a music room. No. We, listen, we had a bedroom. My stepdad's bedroom was the den where we all watch Maud on his bed.

On his bed. Fantastic. Could you imagine that? Imagine a family comes in and I'm eating a TV dinner. Of course. On my tray sitting on his bed. Now, the bed wasn't just like a queen-sized mattress. It was one of those daybed sofa things.

You'd take the pillow off and lay on it. Sofa. Slept on the sofa, but we all sat on the sofa, eating a Salisbury steak, hungry man dinners, while the air. conditioner is running, you know, watching Maud. Tough times. I have no, who are these people?

Like, why did they do this to themselves? I have no idea who these people are. But there was no talk then if I work our way out of this. No. Well, you have to also think, like, what was the mentality? That's what I mean? Like, I, I'm kind of walking around going, like, what's this doing here? Let's fix this.

This won't do. What's going on here? Let's build this. Let's fix it. Let's do something here. Yeah. And their thing was just like, this is it. This is, well, how else do you explain nothing?

You know what I mean? Like, I, my stepdad slept on a sofa bed that we all sat on and watched TV. Oh, by the way, that's the only TV. You know, why would you have another TV somewhere? Color TV? No. Yeah, okay. Black and white TV.

I mean, later on. With the antenna on top? The ears on, probably. Yeah, later they, you know, bought used TV. Little ones, like at garage sales and stuff and just kind of set them. Sony Triniton. Yeah, like little ones. Yeah, like in the kitchen and one on the whatever.

Oh, you have two TVs. Wow. Well, you know, what happened. was after I left that house that got bulldozed wall-mounted air conditioners started springing up all

throughout the house. So there was one in the kitchen, there was one in the living room. John was living with her now. He always was. I mean, he still, it was still... But he had a job. A real job. He had a job. I didn't have an air conditioner

when I slept on the porch. But when I moved out, by the way, this is the greatest tell of all. I'll tell you, I'll give you three tells in terms of having a bad room and a small house. When I moved out and my sister moved out, moved out, fled, escaped, whatever you want to say. Ran away at 14. Ran away. Whatever it is, neither one of our rooms became a. room, like an office or den or whatever, both of our rooms became storage. Storage.

Closets. Yes, because they weren't big enough to accommodate an office or another bedroom or something. They literally, my room became storage and my scissors room became storage because they weren't really rooms in the first place. My room had the, uh, the, The water heater in it, I should have died of carbon monotacet poison. Had the washing machine, no dryer. And it had the meter to read the meter. And then the meter man would have to come in.

I had a back door. My room was where the back door of the house was. No. It was a porch door, rather. It was a porch door. It was a big metal door. It was kind of weird. It was clad metal.

I don't, but by the way, it was a door that somebody got from anywhere, but it's not like they went and bought a door. It was oversized. Well, it made the space for my bed so small because the door was a full size, like 36-inch door, and that was half the depth of the room. I was imagine that the people that built that house got here in a covered wagon or something. It was that kind of house. Well, it had two front doors. Well, because they had to, wasn't there a doctor's office or something? Probably like a dentist or something.

Back, back of the turn of the century when you did that stuff. Yeah, you go in one door. That's my stepdad's room. And then there was the other door. And that's where you went into the house. And then they had that back door. It was in my room. And my room was a porch that got covered up.

But, yeah, the meter reader. would, I can't believe they even let them do this, but the meter guy would have to come inside of our house. Like he'd just come around, open the door, meter guy standing, walking to my bedroom, open the closet, look at the meter that was in where the washing machine was and the water heater was and read it and walk back out. They would never let you do that today. It's, yeah. Because too big a liability. Somebody who claimed rape or broken arm or something.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So how do we fix this? How do we fix it? Like, I don't even know where to start when I think about it. Well, let me, I'll tell you how you fix it. And I'll tell you where to start.

This is a follow under conversation we had. I'll give you an example. Yeah. We just, you can look it up, Andrew. last weekend was Memorial Day, but it was also George Floyd's sixth anniversary. And so Minneapolis, you know, had an official, you know, tweet or whatever, go out. Not so much about the fallen soldiers or anything. They're not really into Memorial Day, but they are into George Floyd a lot, right?

And they sent out this kind of generic tweet about honoring George Floyd and a lot of work to be done. And there was some part in there about having honest conversations. Seat at the table. No, they always say we need an honest conversation about race. The honest conversation about race is not enough black men raising their kids and staying at home and the kids become criminals. That's the conversation. You guys want to have another conversation about George Floyd. I don't know with that.

You want to build another memorial, a statue? Does that seem going to fix anything for anybody? All the conversations you want to have have nothing to do with fixing anything. And by the way, you've been having them for 60 years. They're not doing anything. You want an honest conversation. The honest conversation is the black family is broken. You broke it by giving them free shit.

And you've fucked them up generationally, and they're going to have to figure it out. And by the way, you can fuck up a white family, too. Just give them free. Just give them free shit. This is not something. You fucked up black family more. This is nothing. This is not unique anymore to black families, right?

I mean. No, no. Well, it is in that they have a much higher percentage of it. Do they now? It's not that different. I just don't think about it. All right. So let's read this thing.

Sorry. No, it's like 72% or like out of wedlock or something. It's way over 50%. back when there was Jim Crow was 5%. So you do the math. They're fucking, look, what's not going to fix it is the harpies on the view talking about systemic racism and calling Trump Hitlerian or racist and chief or whatever they're doing. That does nothing. There's a way to do it.

It's basically, hey, fat guy, you got to start losing weight. It's like, I don't want to hear this. Like, well, sorry. That's where we're at. Politicians just, they gave it up. They gave it up a long time ago. Six years, here's what from, this is for Memorial Day from Minneapolis. This is their official release.

Six years ago, George Floyd's murder, he OD'd, by the way, murder forced our city to confront painful truths about race. He's a career criminal with a heart condition, who had no fentanyl in him to be counted as a death. but okay. He's a career criminal. Okay. Anyway, we had to confront painful truth about race. I don't know what was going on in Minneapolis in 2019 vis-a-vis race. But all right. Race, public safety, and inequality. Okay, yes, he didn't have as much because he was a career criminal, and he passed bad checks. Every May, 25th, is a reminder of that grief. Okay. I don't know what George Floyd would be up to today. I don't imagine he'd be alive six years later, considering the amount of drugs he consumed.

And a renewed call to action to keeping, pursuing the progress this tragedy. It was perfectly, by the way, it was preventable. He didn't have to hand counterfeit money. or bad checks and do a ton of drugs. I'm glad to hear it's been progress. Catalyzed. We encourage you to gather, be with community, and honor George Floyd's life.

He was a criminal. As long as you're going to make martyrs out of career criminals, you're going to have difficulty. No other group would do this. The Asians would never do this. Oh, it's me going, hey, when's Joey Buttafuco's birthday? We must honor the man. He must be honored.

White folk have a tendency to romanticize criminals. Mops, Mops, George folks are doing this on behalf of black folks who they don't respect. So anyway, George Floyd is your hero. If you have career criminals and junkies as your heroes, you're going to have difficulty making progress, is what I will say. All right. So how do we fix? So dads in the home is one. Dad's in the home is all of it.

But people have to start telling, look, if you're fat, you need to lose weight. Sorry, my feelings are hurt. Sorry. I want to fire you for saying that. Sorry, you're fat. That's it. We've got to get back to basics. And so what I've always said.

So we let it all, we let it slip away. And it all happened under our watch. And I yelled about it every single step of the way. So 10 times less violence. if dad stay in the home. So that will certainly deal with the violence issue, right? It'll deal with all the issues. Well, I'm not sure it will help with the impulse control part,

but the impulse control thing gets going earlier, you know? Listen, dads need to be dads. They need to give discipline. They need to be free to be a dad. I was not free to be a dad. I could not discipline. I had ideas about discipline, but it was overridden by my ex-wife every time I attempted to really be daddish. Now, my kids came out fine, but they're not exactly taking the world by storm, you know, a little more discipline, a little more delayed gratification, that kind of stuff, be fine.

They turned out fine. I don't think they're going to have any issues, but this has been going on for a long time. So let's start to parse that out. So give discipline is not something that is done a few times. It has to be a regular thing with kids. Kids are animals. How do you with your dog? You do regular discipline always.

Yes. They need regular work. And the problem is we even have an issue here with what we call discipline in this country. Because what goes down as discipline is physical abuse when things are so far out of hand. that you have to do something to get them to stop now. Which is not discipline. They equate discipline with being mean. Also, they don't have any of them.

Like my ex-wife didn't have any discipline, so she didn't even know what it was. You know what I mean? And sort of looked at it as just being mean to the kids. Right. So that's another issue. Look, we let women take over. We shouldn't have done that.

They don't have traits that are conducive to a, really highly functional society. They have traits that are good for other things, but not this. I would argue that there are women are capable, certainly capable. Some. Some. But if they're... But in general, the traits aren't there.

Well, but if they're trying to raise a kid on their home, they're not around enough to do that regular supervision of discipline. They're working. Right. Discipline requires a constant, you know. Yes. Look, the old thing, but your father gets home was just a form of discipline. Yes.

Like there's an axe coming and I'm going to make him drop it. Right. But what if the father never comes home? And the mom's not home saying wait for anything because she's at work. Yeah. Right? So it's a double whammy for women. They can't, they don't.

Yeah, I mean, not my ex. She never worked. But yes. I mean, not after kids. She had a full-time nanny. Right, right. So she worked. Right.

I paid the person to do the work she should have done. Yes. Maybe that's why your kids are pretty good. Yes. Yeah. She did. Uh, yeah, no, my, my daughter spit in the face of, uh, her nanny and her nanny smacked her. Mm-hmm.

And she never did it again. And then her nanny told me, she felt bad. And I said, good. What'd your wife say? I don't know. I just, I just remember going good. She spits at you again, smack her again. She'll, she'll learn not to do it.

What do I care? By the way, you act like getting smacks at the end of what? Fucking fine. Everyone does this thing all the time. I was like, oh, you put her hands on it. The Capitol policeman had a heart attack because there's going to scrum. Like, are you fucking nuts? So the only thing we do know is that if you pick up an object and hit a kid, that's a problem.

Look, I never laid a hand on my kids. I know. And I never would. And it's not my scene. But if somebody spits in your face, then you can smack them, reflectively, by the way. Yeah. If a child does something that has to stop now, it actually is recommended that you hit them. Oh, okay.

Yeah. And so, Olga did the right thing. But not that you pick up a spoon and hit a, or a belt or a whip or whatever. All right. Take a quick break. We were right back after this. 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 sin. It's just so. beautiful on pluto tv free streaming of terminator two fringe arrow the 100 nx files may cause excitement

Deep markets, sharp odds, and player props built for fans who know these games aren't random. The NBA playoffs are heating up, stars taking 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. Where experience shows and where the smallest edge makes the biggest difference. Bet Online, the game starts here. All right. Yes.

Discipline, hard work. All the old stuff, the stuff the Greeks knew. You know what I mean? We just, we got to go back to it. politicians have figured out there's a lot more dopes than there are hard workers and they just started pandering to them

and everything is just about what they're going to do. You watch these Tom Steyer running for governor, you know, everything's going to get a universal health care and he's going to fight ice

and it's all just a bunch of shit. I don't, I don't, look, get the fuck out of the way and let people swim or sink. They'll swim. They will if you get out of the way. So Universal

health care will be a catastrophe. Again, government managed, it's going to be better. Look no further than Canada. That was always the model of the great Canadian system. Anybody up there will tell you the way, just like in an HMO, the way you get services is you get a line and there's not enough to go around because that's the only way they can manage the costs. And you die on the waiting list and therefore you're not a problem anymore. And that's fine. Right.

That's fine. That's Canada. That's Canada. Michael Morris says Cuba's the best. Trying to get sophisticated services like mental health services and that kind of thing. You can forget it. But what if you want to commit suicide? Then you're no longer a burden to the system, so we'll help you do that.

Hannah was good at helping you commit suicide. Right. The maid, medication assisted. Oh, they got a nice acronym. Are euphemism for it? Exactly, an acronym. But, you know, and then there's no incentive to have high quality care. That just isn't.

It's just going to, it's a mess. But there is a case we made for like a two-tier or a three-tiered system. That's a reasonable thing to do. And that's kind of what we're doing already. We're really sort of doing that. So just go into the lower tier system and see how that works for you. And that's how the whole system would operate. You won't be too happy with it.

Yes. So the idea is to have that as a, as a, as a, backup and then work your way out of it. Yes. Yeah. What? Doctors in the U.S. can't form unions. So Andrew says.

Yeah, it wouldn't matter. It wouldn't matter. You know what they've done? They've gone about it by getting rid of doctors. I knew this was coming. Primary care has been systematically squeezed into dust, so you can't afford to run a practice if you're a primary caretaker. So what they've done is replaced doctors with physicians assistants and nurse

practitioners. and they don't have to pay them as much. And so I remember I was on Anderson Cooper's show about 10 years ago, and Anna Navarro was on the show with me. She used to have this roundtable. And they were talking about this kind of stuff. I go, well, when you see a physician extender, they went, physician extend. Oh, what are you talking about?

That's true, exaggerating, but keep going. No, they freaked out. You could go find the tape. It's never going to be what you said about. You watch Anna Navarro lose her shit. Yeah. A physician extender, they all simultaneously. Because what do you mean?

I want to see a doctor. I get to see a doctor. I want to see a doctor. What do you mean? I'd see somebody. They couldn't get their head around the ocean. Go to primary care now. You're going to see that unless you do concierge.

By the way, you know, everything should run like a job site. And on a job site, you got the foreman guy, but he's not, he doesn't have his bags on. He's just looking at your work and walking around, like looking at plans and stuff like that. then you have at the bottom of the chain you just got the grunts the the the labors the digging the ditches and moving the drywall and stuff like that and then you have like the apprenticeship kind of guys like the young carpenters but they would never have an advanced carpenter dig ditches it just be a waste they're paying a guy good hourly rate it's a waste that guy's work and then you call in the subs the hvac c guy the plumbing guy they have their own little specialties and it all works that way and it doesn't work that the foreman is digging ditches. Like they would never do it. It would be a waste of its time. But on the other hand, the guys digging the ditches would not be looking at the plans and doing layout, you know.

So like it all, nature just kind of segregates, you know, like it all works out. It's economically based. Just hate the expensive guys doing labor, you know. And it all just kind of falls in. So to some extent, this is a good thing, right? It's all a good thing. I mean, this is how you get a house built as cheaply as possible, but it has to work. The problem is that, you know, if it's a challenging situation, the problem is, yes, for the routine stuff, good, good, good.

But when things get complicated and challenging, you have to be in the room with the patient. You have to examine the patient. You can't examine somebody else's work and really know what the hell is going on. So it's it's it's not ideal. I mean, think about if you have, there's other professions, right? There's reasons they're professions. They're not, they're not, you're talking about labor. This is not labor when you're taking care of someone.

No, I'm not talking about labor. I said their labors are digging ditches, but the guys who are looking at the plans and laying the stuff out are not digging the ditches. you move away from the patient, you're not involved in the care anymore. You're not doing the work. Well, I mean, they have nurses and they give you the shots and stuff, you know, and they, you know, they suture up people. They go, the surgeon goes, all right, close up, you know, they leave. That's their, I'm saying the making the judgments and having the instincts and you won't ever see the patients. Oh, I don't, I don't want that. Yeah. I just want everybody, I want it to run like a job site. But the point is now everyone's an employee.

all the doctors are employee, and then you get COVID. Mm-hmm. Then you get people not using their judgment responding to their bosses and their bosses who are terrible doctors and aren't making good judgments. Right. They have to listen to what they say. That's how things get fucked up. Yeah. Oh, COVID.

Man. A lot of doctors. Ooh. I'll tell you, in the last, between COVID, COVID fucked me. up with doctors, teachers, and nurses. The three that would have been at the top of my food chain for respect in a profession, I lost a lot in any medical expert, let's say. We have anybody credentialed.

We have a problem with the credentialed class in this country. We credentialed the shit out of everybody and thought them nothing. And what? Taught them nothing. Oh, taught them nothing. Yes. Yes. I do love.

I was watching a tape of. Sanjay Gupta, another dope who's basically faded away, hopefully. He was on CNN. They're playing his clip, and he's like, I was talking to Rochelle Walenski

today to find out, oh, another lying dope to find out what? You know what I mean? I said, God, these fucking people. But it also said he never said, he claimed something he didn't say, and then there was tapes

showing him saying whatever was like, the vaccine doesn't prevent communication or something. These people, there's a part that is really interesting where they're being filmed saying things. And they're saying, I've never said these things. Yes. And they're going, I never said that.

Isn't it weird? I find it to be weird. That's how memory works, right? Memory serves you, right? Mine doesn't do that with me. I don't think. My memory fights me and tries to. It does.

It tries to make it work for it. No, I'll go, I'll go, if I lose, okay, where are my keys? Or wear the nail clippers or something. I'll go look under the sofa. I'll go down, look in the car. Maybe it's in the car. No, it's in the drawer where it should have been. But you didn't think you were good enough to do that.

Or if somebody questions your memory, you assume it's wrong. I'll tell you what you do. and I'm not trying to blow smoke up my ass, but when I was telling you the last show that Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass are coming to the Greek theater, oh, not the Greek thing.

Hollywood Bowl. Hollywood Bowl. I think it was Hollywood Bowl. Yeah. I got a text from Rudy, and it was like, I don't know, a couple days earlier. And he said,

I just looked at it quickly, like on my phone. Herb Alpert coming to the Hollywood Bowl. I had a small date, July 5th. And then a couple days later, I was calling Rudy, and I said, you know, we should get tickets to that thing. Let's check it out. And he goes, all right, it's coming up, June 5th.

And I said, I didn't say you're wrong or anything. I just went, oh, it's funny. I thought and seemed to remember that he said it was on July 5th, but maybe I'm wrong. And then he went and looked up and he goes, no, I'm wrong. It's July 5th. And I knew it, but didn't fully know it. So I just left it open to.

And I always say, and people should just do this go, oh, I must be mistaken. I thought that you sent me a date. This is your conversation with Mike all the time. Isn't it Jenna? Oh, he'll, yeah, he's going to, uh, it's done for Andrea. We were looking up something and he was looking up, the tempest of the movie, and Mike August was looking up and his phone and it said, had Molly Ringwald was in it and Gina Rollins. And I said, Jenna Rollins, the actress?

And he goes, Gina, Jenna. Maybe she pronounces it, Jenna. I go, I think her name is Jenna Rollins, Mike. Gina, Jenna. I don't know. She must pronounce it. I go. First you doubt yourself.

Well, what I'm, I doubt, now I'm not looking at. I'm like, she spell it in a weird way. I go, how do you, how does she spell it? G-E-N-A. I go, well, that's Jenna. That's not Gina, Mike. I don't know how she does it. He'll do that with every.

And then he'll go, who cares? And I'll go, well, they care. But there's a way to pronounce it because that's her name. But also, I don't know, if you're looking at G-E-N-A, and by the way, this is a famous, famous actress who's not named Gina. But it doesn't spell it that way either. No. Yeah. Yeah.

Well, there you go. Jenna Rollins. Is she still alive? No. Died. You know it was a really weird thing? No, she's still alive. I'm sorry to that.

Oh, well, what did say up there? Died? Oh, it's weird down below. It says no. Oh, she just died. You know, it was a weird one? I had this whole... Two years ago.

Jenna Rollins thing with Mike on a Sunday night. Sunday night, like nine at night. We're in the green room. And then the following day, I got up and I was telling you, I was telling me about this, I wanted to go look at some acceptance speeches for the Hollywood Walk of Fame. I want to know how long they were. How long were they were?

They meant you ask you that. There was like Stanley Tucci and Emily Blunt did one combined that was like three minutes, where they both just said like nine words and went fuck that. But others have been longer. And like five minutes. And so I was trying to figure out. So I watched one. Andrew will know her name.

Female actress just got one who was on flight, whatever. She's doing a lot of movies. Burnett, pretty, whatever. It's not old. She just did hers. Anyway, the whole point is this. she's got up there and she was like I think my managers and

those who pay the way like Jenna Rollins and I was like it's a weird rando to pull out and and also it's weird randomly that Mike and I were just talking about that. The night before?

I'm not I don't know her. I've never heard her before until you mentioned it yesterday. She's a big famous actress. I know which I worried me when you said that out of there. I don't know That is. Can you put her back up there? Now, here's the thing, Drew.

I've seen her and stuff. You forgot who she is. She was nominated. I don't pay attention to culture. I meant to popular culture. She read her accolades. She's been in everything. She was nominated.

She was nominated a bunch of times. She won amy. See, like, I never saw the notebook, for instance. Wait, wait, wait, wait. Oh, oh, that's why. Who was the star of The Notebook then? That's why she said it. Rachel McAdams.

Yeah, Rachel McAdams. Because Rachel McAdams was the one who thanked Gina, Jenna. Interesting. Rollins. We don't even know how to stare at it. That's why, so it wasn't that random. I will tell you the most random, I'll tell you the most random thing, Drew. Yeah.

So I was in here with Kent McCord, who we're talking about for Adam 12. Yep. And another gentleman who you don't know. And Kent McCord talked to me about car racing, right before we went on the air. He was very enthusiastic about racing cars. Did it for quite some time.

I did not know that. Back in the day. Okay. Yes. Not as interested in my racing career. Well, all I'm saying is it's kind of funny. Like, I'll talk to guys. And they'll go, yeah, they'll go, I go, I did the Toyota Grand Prix three times.

and back in the day. I go to you ever win? I go, no, he won some celebrity thing at Watkins Glen, whatever. And I go, huh, I've done the Celebrity Grand Prix five times, and I won as a celebrity and in the Pro Division. They go, oh, well, there you go. This other time I was at Watkins Glen, it's like, it doesn't stop you to, you don't want to ask what year.

Wow. You know what I mean? Old guys who talk about them. Yeah. They just keep going. They just keep going. It's got to be the weirdest. It's literally, it's literally like me running into a guy in the subway and me going,

I was first team all Central Valley, North Hollywood High. And that guy going, I went to North Hollywood High, and I was also first team Central Valley. Me going, well, there you go. Another time, I got another trophy. You know what I mean? Like, I never go, like, when did you graduate? or what position did you play? Now, he started talking about that, and I just told him, I've won the race two times,

and he never asked, he never said what year or who was in your race or you won as a pro? That's unusual. It just, they go past it as if they don't believe you, almost. But it's not about them and they're talking is kind of how it's a perfectly nice guy. It strikes me, it always strikes me when people don't stop and go, When's that? How'd that happen? Amazing.

Or you don't have to say amazing. You can just go, what year did you do your race? Because I did mine in the 80s. Where in the 90s? Like, is Bud Johnson still running the thing? You know, something. Something. Or what car were you driving?

Was it like a Selica or the switch of the Sions or something? It's just, moving on. You know, they're missing the opportunity to share the experience. You know, have a shared thing. Kim McCord could circle this fucking Valley for a thousand years and not run into someone who's won that race two times. That's the point. It's always been his thing. Yes.

Uh-oh. So he's sitting in here with Peter and Tico, who you don't know, but it doesn't matter. But anyway, and I come in and I sit down in between them, and I say, you know, Peter, you want to talk about SAG or, after or whatever, but I got bad news for you. Kent McCorvich to start telling me about racing. And so I'm going to Don the Snake Pardome

you. I'm going to snake you on this and we're going to talk about racing. And then Kim McCord goes, I just showed Peter a picture of me and Don the Snake Perdom. And he holds it. He holds it up on his phone. By the way, it's Bruce Jenner,

Kim McCord, and Don the Snake Perdom. Wow. And he goes, I just, I go, how long ago? He goes, 30 seconds ago, I just pulled up a picture of Don the Snake Pardome. Weird. And I showed it to him. I go, that's weird.

That is weird. I just brought up Don the Snake Pardom and you just showed a picture of Don the Snake Pardom and Kent McCord, 70s were better. I mean, look at everyone with their mustachees and their fucking dudes being dudes. They're so happy. They're so happy. I'm not worried about the fucking pronouns. Big Daddy Don Garlets nearby. Yeah, sure.

Charlie Chattelma, Shytown, Hustling, TV Tommy Iva. They're all there. So, I go into the room with these guys after the show. I go, this is a crazy, that is a crazy coincidence. Now, of course, because they're young men, they've not heard of anybody or anything at any time. Oh, you're a beautiful people. They wouldn't know who anything is before they're born. Do you know what we're talking about?

They don't know what pliers are. They don't know what a dragster is. I don't think. That's what I'm wondering. Do you know kind of the zone we're talking about? No clue. They don't know anything. By the way, I went in there.

We're like, it's like 1920s that we're like talking about sailing the ocean blue. We were in a galley in 1860. Knicks never washed a car. It's incredible. It's incredible what no one has done and what they don't know about and what they haven't heard of. Tapes, tools, it doesn't matter. But they're living in a digital world where they have a certain amount of disdain for the past. That's what I would say.

An apathy for it, at least. They're worried about where the next meal is and what's going to entertain them. But they don't know any parts. Andrew's kind of a film media guy. Yeah, Andrew's a little in between. Did he knew who Camp McCord was? Maybe. Would you know the difference between...

You know, is the chairman of the President of the Screen Actors Guild for like 15 years, I think. Yeah. All right. Wait a minute. Chuck, do you know the difference between a funny car and a dragster? Is the funny car the one that goes really fast, and the dragster is the one that goes kind of fast? It's crazy. I love that answer.

There's not a thing that they know. But they know about drones, I guess. Yeah, I don't know about drones. He knows about drugs. By the way, watch that indie race this weekend. Wow. The indie race is incredible. Oh, my God.

Dragsters go faster than funny cars. But they're different. But I'm sort of asking for the aesthetic or the shape or the difference. But anyway, okay. But you almost got it right. Some go. Because you could have said dragsters go faster instead of funny cars go faster. But we're looking for a description.

All right. So here's my whole point. I gave these guys a whole speech about Don the Snake Perdome. They, of course, have no idea who was. And then I explained they made a feature film about him. It was a snake versus mongoose. That's like 10, 12. It's like 13 years old.

I think it's 2013. It was a feature that came out in theater. So I said he basically what I'm saying is, is he's well enough known to know that they made a movie out of Donna's Stapronome. He has been winning us probably dragster racer. Didn't he do both drag and funny car? Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Because he was driving dragsters and he was driving funny cars.

and Billy McEwen is the guy He was racing the snake versus the mongoose 2013 Yeah, thanks for putting that on there Our snake and the mongoose Throw a picture of a Don Pridone's car 80% on Rotten Tomatoes Well no, don't do it

Hold on, okay I'm not done What do you want? The snake and the mongoise? Well, then I'm wondering what comes up I wonder what, because he was colorful dude Well, the snake

The snake funny car is going to come up I think so, yeah Hot Wheels sponsor And they made hot wheel Anyway, look, there's the whole deal. Still alive. Wow. I'll add a little context.

Ran into him not too long ago. No shit. Okay, he's around. He goes to the events. I'm not, you know, car racing. Yeah, yeah. He's a fan. Okay, but here's my whole point, Drew.

Yeah. I was telling these guys about what a crazy coincidence is that I brought up Don to Snake Pranome and then Kim McCord was showing a picture of Donna Snake Perdom moments earlier. By the way, the other guy. the other guy is in studio. It's not in their drag racing or anything at all. Right.

So it was just kind of weird that he's showing a picture of Don the Snakeport home and him. Which you used to call the Great Magnet. Great Magnet. So. It's weird how this. I give him this stuff. I give him this stuff. Okay.

Then I am, I leave. And I'm going to a function. Oh, my God. That night. we don't have to say, oh, my God, yet. I'm just wondering what the level of coincidence is going to go on. I'm going to function that night, and I get a text out of the blue from Zach Brown, team principal, over at McLaren, who very kindly is going to meet me in France next week. That's right, for a romantic interlude.

Yes, I can't wait. Have I read his book, man? It is good. Anyway, go ahead. Would you like to say for Monaco, or you just want everyone to think he's going to meet? you in France. We're going to have a romantic weekend in France. Monaco Grand Prix, Drew. Monaco Grands is not

that's just going to meet you in France. He's there. I didn't want to get into my details. Okay. All right. You know, what do you care? It feels, um, if you're going to say, it feels pompous. It feels pompous. You just said you're going to meet the guy in France.

I know. That's bad enough. It feels pompous. Don't be an asshole. I got him set up so you could go the fucking Monaco Grand Prix. Thank you. All right. Now. Jesus Christ

Anyway Zach Brown As I'm driving to this function sends me a text Not answering a text We text But I didn't talk to him in a week And he just

Apropos of nothing Says Just watch Snake and Mungoose movie Pretty good you should check it out Nothing else There's not It didn't say, oh, and on the subject of or getting back or we were talking about race films.

Or heard you talk for you. Or whatever. Nothing. Well, by the way, it couldn't have heard me talking because that show hadn't even come out. Right. So it wasn't like he heard it on the podcast. Right. It was earlier that day.

It was like four and five in the afternoon. He texted me at 7.30 that day. Once in 0.5. I've seen the snake in the mongas. And it wasn't like the snake of the mongus had a big release that week. and that's why it was on your mind. It's 13 years old. Right.

And we've never talked about it. Right. But, to be fair, when we were in Long Beach and I was having a beer with Zach, the snake came by. The Don Pradome came by and said hi. And how long before that? before the interview with Camp McCord was that? It was a month.

Okay. Before that. By the way, Don Perdom came by and he said hi. Yeah. And then me and Zach said, oh, that's Don Pradom. And then I said hi to Don Pradom. And then Don Pradome left. And we didn't talk about drag racing.

By the way, Zach's an avid racer, but he's not, he doesn't do drag racing or funny cars or any of that. He just, well, as Chuck knows, he's a road racer, man. Chuck set up a few cars for Willow and Sonoma, different setups for different tracks. He'd have to check the notebook, dampeners, camber, stuff like that. His book, he says he wants the triple crowd of Monaco, Indy, and LaMalle. So is he constantly trying to get those? Is he doing those three every year kind of thing?

He wants the triple crown. Yeah. I didn't ever heard that phrase before for those three races. Is that something he made up? No, it's kind of a thing. I mean, the triple crown here is basically 24 hours of Daytona, 12 hours of CBRing, and 24 hours of Lamont. That's kind of the triple crown. But there's a kind of other open-wheel version, not really even open-wheel, but there's another version that's like Monaco, Indy, and Lamont.

But what are you asking? I never heard of that before. Is that something he does every year, all three races, trying to get? get at that? Well, you've got to think about it. He does them all every year. I mean, he let's break it down. He doesn't. He goes and sits on the pit row and manages the team. Right. But what there is no McLaren. That's what I'm trying to figure out. No, no, there's Indy is an indie team. McLaren has an indie team. So there's that. And he was there this week. Yeah. He's there for that. He's not the team principles, not running the team. Oh, see, that's what I don't

I don't get it. You can't run an indie team simultaneously and run... That's what I couldn't... Well, use your brain. How can you... First off, these are two... It's like saying, you know, I run Coke and Pepsi or something. It's like, no, you have a full-time job.

The full-time job is you've got to run the F-1 team. So he wants it for McLaren. He doesn't run them. Okay, got it. Well, no, no, no. It's for him. I mean, he runs the indie team. I'm sorry.

He runs the F1 team. He's the principal. Yeah. Okay. The indie team, he's a part of because of his experience and because he works for McLaren and whatever. But he's not setting the car up and they have their indie guys. Also, I'm going to go on a, I'm going to see, like see if there's an indie race anywhere around Monaco. Because he can't be in two places at once, that's their thing too.

You know, Indy has a season. they're off, they'll run. F1 has a season. You can't be... I'll wake up. I know, I know. But just because you don't know anything doesn't mean you... I'm asking the expert.

I go to a source. I know, I know. But what I'm saying is, is you can figure everything out by just sort of stepping back. That's why there was a big question mark over my head. But now, obviously, 24-hour Lamah does not run an F1 car. You know that. Yeah. it does not run an indie car, which you know as well.

So now there has to be some offering from McLaren that's a GT type car. And I'm not sure if they're running that this year or how they're doing that or what that thing. And when he says, I want the triple clown. For McLaren. He wants it. Yeah. Well, he doesn't drive. He's not driving the car.

I'm actually pride of myself for noticing. I'm going, huh? I don't get how he does that. thank you for explaining Well, I don't even know. I just know he... You know enough to know. No, I know.

I don't know enough to know. No, no, no, no. I know it like when he go, those Christian kids were harassing the dolphins. Like, there's a math to it that's not going to work. I know, like when some medical procedure go, I don't know, I don't know. Yeah.

It doesn't sound right to me. Is there, is the F1 season and the indie season just going on it simultaneously? Or is that, is that that? Indy does not have a race. at the Monaco circuits Okay, see, this is the other Yeah, yeah, I know what you're asking Nobody asked if they had a race at Monica

Is it, do they have a race going on? Simultaneously. I don't word everything Because I'm talking about something I get it, I get it. I don't have a race in Monaco. Yeah, no, there's a race in the vicinity, not timeline, it'll be in the States.

It'll be in the States. To you as somebody who knows race the way you do, that seemed like an incomprehensible confusion, not too incomprehensible to me, to somebody would think that's what you meant. Yeah. Is there an indie race in Monaco? No, there's never been an indie race in Monaco. No one is ever asking that.

Chuck might have questions about that. Is there a drag strip at Monaco? No, there is not. No, the snake in the mongas did not race at Monaco. The indie has a series. Is the indie series? Look, it's like saying, is there a professional baseball game going on during the NBA playoffs.

And then you go, no, they can't fit the game onto the hardwood. I'm not saying they're playing on the hardwood, but there might be a baseball game going on while there's a basketball game. That's what I'm saying. We'll find out off the year. All right. All right. We'll get an answer.

Friday, June 12th, Oklahoma City, Bricktown Comedy Club, and then Saturday, Tulsa. Tulsa, Brooktown Comedy Club. You know my batting average on saying stuff and people? It's not good. It's not good. But listen, they're doing a lot at once. No, there's no official indie races

held in Monica. Okay, there are no indie. There's no such thing as India in Monica. Nobody's ever asked that. There's nobody asked that. Is there an indie series going out at the same time? You know how there's a basketball game going on? At first, I didn't think it was real.
