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 the choice, but they're going to be on. Doctor's back. Oh, Mama. Board certified physician, Dick Spessessus, back from what an amazing sounding cruise trip you went on. amazing. And I am thoroughly jet lag, so I apologize for any shortcomings today. You just saw,

before we came in here, Adam was like, Drew, Drew, Drew, I was like, I didn't hear him. I thought something. I thought you had a throat. No, you know what, actually, I only saw the side of you. I thought it was somebody else. The fact that I didn't respond to your name, calling my name. Yeah. You're not that jetlight. You're fine. You're fine. You'll be fine. You'll be fine. I will be. But it was great. And I want to thank you. Thank you again for setting us up with the McLaren people. And the morning with Zach Brown was great. What a great guy.

In Monaco. In Monaco. At the sort of backstage at the F1 event there. I mean, that is a bucket list item for anybody, race fan or not. You're in Monaco, the F1 race there, and you're set up with the principal of one of the premier teams in F1. Yep. And he's such a nice guy. Such a nice guy.

He's going to be accommodating. Now. Such a nice guy. And the whole time I'm going, Zach, Zach, I know you don't like, he pretends he's not who he is, I think. Or he likes to kind of make it look like it's easy. I'm like, dude, I see what you're up against here. Please don't spend more time with us than you feel you've got.

But he was very generous, nevertheless. Yeah, I'm so happy to have met him. And good dude. And it'd been, here's where I felt like an asshole. He goes, yeah, yeah, I was on your radio show back in early 90s. you and Ricky? Ricky was a big race fan? Was it the early?

Was it the early 90s? Well, you were in by 96, mid-90s, I suppose. But hang on, the story keeps going, so maybe this will clarify for you. He goes, yeah, yeah, Long Beach Grand Prix. I'm sorry, I just don't remember. He goes, yeah, I was on three times. Oh, yeah. Three years in a row.

I felt like such an asshole. Oh, my God. Yeah, good dude. And a true car guy, and he likes me because I'm a true car guy, which people who aren't true car whatever's don't understand, but the guys who do understand, understand, and he understands. I even, we're so weirdly sympathico that he has a car. It's kind of interesting.

He has a kind of deep cut race car, which is like he has a... He's a collector also. He's a very astute collector. And he has a, Ford Capri that was a race car that I'm not it's not really my

field of expertise but because I know everything I of course know the car he's talking about I know nothing is like Ford Mercury Capri those old cars Yeah they Ford did a Capri

and I don't know if they they call them Ford Mercury Capri but a Capri was the 70s Yeah yeah It was kind of touted It's the sexy European It was like a European car That was kind of cool

Yeah Yeah. Can I look it up? Just to make these guys. Well, you don't have to. Chuck will tell you after the show. But they, it's a really cool piece. So he was going, I got a Capri race car.

And it's not, again, it's not my field of expertise, but I go, is it a Zachspeed car? And he goes, yeah, which is a deep, weird deep cut. Zach Speed built those race and caprees in Europe. It's not something I'm into, but I just know it because I study all. things cars. So then later on, I was looking for something my phone the other day, and I came upon a Capri race-built engine from Laguna Seca five years ago, and I just took a picture of the engine because I was like, wow, that's such an amazing engine. And I just took a picture of it. It was on my phone, and I realized, oh, that's a racing Capri engine. And I just sent it to them just

sort of willy-nilly like I went, I just stumbled upon this picture, racing Capri engine, and I thought you'd get a kick out of it. And he wrote back immediately, that's my car. Of course. Because, of course, it's his car. He brought it to Laguna Seca to race it. Anyway, good dude, car guy. What do you know, Adam?

What do you do? Listen, here's what I've tried to tell people all the time. I don't own a Capri. I'm not American car guy. I don't really know what exact speed is. But what else do you know, I know everything because I studied everything closely, and then I happen to be able to recall it. But it's not a thing.

I've never owned one. I've never bought one. I've never raced one. They're not even in my run group, really. But they're cool pieces, and you should know stuff. And the people that claim to be car guys, but they're really just Mopar guys or something. They're not really car guys. It's just fucking dofusses.

All right. Just one quick last comment about the Mercury Capri. A friend of mine at college at the Capri, weirdly. weirdly. Not the best winter snow car in New England. There was a small time when we figured out that the Europeans made a better looking car, but if we put an American power plant in it, we would have a cool car that looked good, but it was reliable.

And we ended up with, there's several versions of a sort of European coach-looking built thing. and then like an American reliable, in this case, V6, not a V8, also made a straight four, I think. In the Mercury? I will, I will, here's what I will say. I will say that the Capri of the midish early 70s had a, had an inline four, probably of 1.8 or something like that. And then they had a peppy version, like a 2.8, 2.6 V. which would have been a more sportier version. I'm guessing on the engine displacement.

I'm going to go 1-8 for the 4 and then I'm going to go like 2-6 or maybe 2-8 for the V6 version of the Mercury Capri, the sexy European. Do you remember that ad? I do. Yeah. They really tried to sell it back then. All right. So they can look for Isn't that back when

I guess it was a little bit later But sort of the same zone When they had Ricardo Montalban Selling the view I love what they've done with my car They can find his Corinthian leather It's so funny that Corinthian was made up Yeah

Just made up It just said Corinthian leather sounds so good There's the Capri That's the Capri too ass It's a sexy European All right so you've could get a four cylinder or you could get a six cylinder. Now, I need to know what size the four

cylinder was and what size the six cylinder was. But, of course, the Zach Speed, not to be confused with Zach Brown. This company called Zach Speed, I think out of England, built those race cars. So in preparation for that meeting, I read his book. And he got some of, he grew up in North Hollywood being a very different story than yours. and he actually sort of gives some benefit to his North Hollywood experience as creating his toughness. Like nothing bothers him in other ways. Yeah, yeah. I do talk to people all the time about being in a space where you have to negotiate things.

You know there's certain guys not to go around. There's certain places to avoid. you have to kind of learn to kind of fend for yourself. You kind of felt, you know, like a little put up or shut up. Sometimes you had to fight a little bit to let people know you were going to stay in your ground. And it was like kind of hard scrabbled dudes. But it was like mostly white dudes that were sort of that way. But they were very, you know, they're physical and they're kind of aggressive and they get into it a lot.

And it was like a combination of that and making. your own fun. So you'd sort of just wander around all day looking to build ramps and jump your dirt bikes and all that kind of stuff. He also was a big sports collector. And he has this story where he kept, he got a hold of Mickey Mantle on the phone.

He just was a 10-year-old kid. He loved Mickey Manning and wanted to talk to him. And he got through to him and Mantle was obviously drunk and horrible to him. But he still had to collect his stuff. All right. So I conducted a little experiment at home, which I thought was interesting. I can't wait.

So the four-cylinder, this, by the way, just do American version of the size of the engines, please. Because it says four-cylinder, one-three to two-three, which sounds weird. We would have had a one, like we just, America would have had one. Yeah. This is Europe and America. This whatever was sold in America and says a six cylinder was two to three. But by the way, my one eight and my two six is right in the middle of North America is two three in the four cylinder. It's a little higher, I thought.

It's a little bigger. A little bigger. And I thought six going to be a two eight. That's a three liter. No, he's going to figure it up. All right. So I conducted an experiment. The experiment.

By the way, you know what's nice about knowing everything? When you go to the Internet, and the Internet goes one three to two, three. And I go, no, they offered one size in this and one size that you're including. European. Yeah, or something. It's too much. They would have settled on one and done one. But it's kind of a...

Ooh. What? It says the six-cylinder is two-six. and 28, and I said 26, and then I went to 2.8, and I did 2.6 and 2.8. All right. But wait, wait, one quick thing. There's an important lesson here, which is that in order to use AI, you have to know something. You know what I mean?

You have to, you have to, AI is not totally reliable, and you have to be able to assess the information that comes in. Yeah. Chuck just sent me a note that when Zach Speed built the race engines, they punched it out to a 3-liter. Yeah, there you go. and he could get into the minutia about whether they did a bore or stroke or how they got to three leaders. But I don't got time, but I want to bore the audience, Chuck. But he gets really detailed about this shit. He's kind of fanatical about it.

All right, so. I'm going to hear about your experiment. My experiment that I did, and for some reason there's a picture of me and J.FK. Jr. No, no, there's no reason this is on the screen. No, well, look, people make mistakes. Yeah, of course. All right.

So I conduct an experiment, which is, as you know, I've never wanted a maid in my life, but I always have a maid that I pay for. But I don't want a maid. Well, do you have a maid? Well, whatever woman I'm with requires a maid. Now, this is a newish thing. By the way, I've lived alone a lot. and when I am alone, I just clean my own shit.

I'll do the floors once and a while. I'll do the toilets all the time. And I basically just use one plate, one bowl, and one fork. And that's it. But a maid is required. So I like the idea of the maid cleaning, but what I don't like is sort of mindless organization. And I've said it many times.

People do, what they'll do is they'll go, They'll grab a, you know, there'll be a bundle of papers that are sitting on an end table where I sit and watch TV. Clearly, it's something I'm working on, you know what I mean? And then they'll get them all together and they'll shove them in a drawer somewhere and then they're gone. And then I have to tear the house apart looking for the papers I was using. And it's a kind of a mindless neatening. Like they will take the TV remote from where I'm using it. and go walk to the other side and put it in a drawer.

I don't know why you think that's part of your job. I really would like, by the way, every second you spend on that is a second you don't spend on the toilet. Right. You don't need to put away a TV remote. Right. That can sit out. The one that got me all those years ago, many years ago, as I was looking, I could not find my nail clippers anywhere. They tore the whole house part looking for nail clippers.

And they had been placed inside of a leather-bound pen cup. It was a thin cup that was covered with leather and pens, and it got dropped. The maid put it away with the pens, and it was unseeable. Years later, I was just cleaning the thing out, and I capsized it, and my nail clipper slid out. I would never look inside the pen basket. the cup of pens for my nail clipper. But I would also argue you don't really need to put it away. You can just set it on top of the desk.

I'll deal with it. If you want to neat and things, straighten things, okay, I believe I'm out. Yes. So they do a lot of hiding and moving and pushing. And I don't like it. And by the way, if you go to my condo and drag your finger along the top of the baseboard, you'll get a nice thing of soot on your finger, which is like you can clean that.

Clean it. Clean it. Stop hiding shit. clean that just clean the stuff and I'll clean that but anyway I by the way they don't clean as well as I clean either because I'm detail oriented and I give a shit but anyway you must have a maid yeah so my maid likes to come in to the room that I nap in likes to take the clock now I orient the clock toward my head toward the bed and She likes to take it and pivot it back out toward the room.

Here's a picture. Now, yes, I filmed this. I didn't experiment. This was yesterday. You can see where my pillow is. And by the way, you know what she does? The last time she was there, she takes my pillow and puts it under some luggage in the corner. Then she takes my eye mask and brings it into the bathroom and hangs it on a hook behind a door.

then she takes the clock and turns it a direction I can't read it when I'm taking a nap and then she takes my fan and turns it out toward the room too. So my nap is my pillow. It's not a big wide pillow. It's a flat pillow. Let me explain. I put my eye mask on. I turn the fan on my head.

We call it your lovy mask. Yes. I put the— This is Howell's mask. I put the fan on my head. and then I have the clock so that when I nap, I nap for like 25 minutes, maybe a half hour, but I wake up sometimes, you go,

I spend a half hour. I don't know what time it is, otherwise. It's light outside. Yeah, all right. She looks at part of her job is to pivot the clock, the direction I can't read it. Then she leaves, and then I show up, and I pivot it back the direction I can face,

and then she comes back next week and pivots. I want to know who does she think is moving the clock? in between her visits. I don't think she sees, I'm going to guess, that she doesn't see a difference between that and your messed up papers by, that you're working out. No, she's mindlessly neatness. It's your, you're making a mess.

I have to straighten it up. The clock's not a mess, but she's neat. Anyway, I made it, let's take a quick break. It's an attack. I'll come back. I chronicled it yesterday. I knew what she was going to do. All right after this.

All right, so I filmed my bedroom. And I filmed the clock, which is the before and after. Go ahead and play it. All right, let's conduct a little experiment. This is the room I nap in. My maid's coming today. My maid every single time she shows up, she takes this clock and she turns it this way, except for I can't see it because I'm napping over here.

So then when I return, I turn it this way so I can't. and see it from where I'm napping. And then she turns it again. I don't know who she thinks is turning it this way. In the past, I tried taping it down, but she pulled the tape off and turned it. That was the move up. That was with clear tape.

Again, this way works so well because you can read it from anywhere in the room, but when you're taking a nap, you can read it. So I got some more tape. And I'll see if this works. What kind of tape are using here? Now, I used clear packing tape before, now I went with a blue masking tape.

More visible. I'm just going to walk. More aggressive. The room will be closed. She will have been in here. Coming back this afternoon. Whether she turned it or not. Also, she will pivot my fan from here to here.

Which flows nowhere onto the floor. That's my pillow and my mat. That's where I sleep. blows on me when I'm taking a nap. And I don't know who she thinks keeps turning it back after she leaves, but she will undo this as well. I guess I could try taping it. Let's just see. I'm going to tape. Yes, the fan. Okay. Tape. All right. So I taped the clock, the direction I wanted it. Yeah. I taped it down. By the way, this time I hid my pillow and hid my eye mask so she wouldn't hide it under luggage in the corner. Because it's my pillow.

I don't use the big decorative, fluffy one. I use my pillow. It's a down pillow. But anyway. All right. So then I came home eight hours later after she'd been there to reveal what she did. Now, did she pull the tape up? Did she leave it where it was?

Who does she think is taping the clock down that direction, I guess, would be? a question or why. But anyway, let's get the reveal. And what about the fan? Did she pivot the fan? Now, the math. Did you tape the pan also?

No, I just said when I just want to, I just want you to see that she pivots it away from the direction. Does she retape your clock in the position she wanted? Drew, at this point, we don't know anything. We have to reveal. We don't know if she pulled the tape up. We don't know if she threw away the tape.

We don't know if she retaped it. It's usage. Yes, Drew? Yeah. All right. Let's find out. All right. It's the moment.

Truth. The slow, the slow reveal. Yes. The fan was changed from this direction. She pivoted the fan. Yeah. Yes. Okay.

She points it towards the floor. Where you would want it. That is made. That's lovely. Yes. Uh, uh. Ladies and gentlemen. Oh, what the hell?

The clock was moved. Nothing was touched. Nothing was doctored. This time the tape was left. She pulled the tape up and put it back on the top of the clock. Sideways. Like you had it oriented differently. I had a different way.

That's diabolical. Now I'm wondering what kind of evil genius is behind this. I had it across. Well, at least you got the message you want the tape on the clock. I taped it to the, but she didn't seem to understand what the tape was for. Across the top. No, this is, by the way, this is her second tape removal. That's astounding.

I told you. All right. This goes under, people do not disappoint. No, no, not disappointers. Now, I don't know who she thinks is doing this each time. I just love the tape. Move the tape horizontally. I guess we'd call it sort of vertical to the clock.

Yeah, she pulled up the tape, enabled to pivot the clock. You know, because you don't want to have to wrestle with the clock. You've got to pull the tape up first. And then she put the tape back on top of the clock long ways. So I could possibly reuse that tape. I would love to do an interview. She threw away the clear tape the time I taped it with clear tape.

That was gone. The blue tape, more visible. Got the message that the tape is part of the clock, but not what it was for. What? All right. Hold on. Your pillow. What's that?

What happened to your pillow? I hit it. So she didn't find that. No. No. But last time I came off the road, she was there, and it was literally nowhere to be found, and it was under between two pieces of luggage in the corner. So I don't know why you take, and the eye mask was in the bathroom on a hook behind a door. Like, why not just set it on the nightstand that eye mask? Okay. Anyway, it's not cleaning. That's not cleaning. That's confusing. Go fucking scrub something. There's mildew places. Go get it out. All right. Anyway, here's the question. Now, for the next experiment, do we go? Now, it initially started with a Post-it note that said, do not touch.

Oh. But that was ignored, but there may be a language barrier. Then it went to packing tape, but that's clear. And that was pulled off, thrown away, and it was pivoted again. Then I upgraded to masking tape, which is more visible. and that was also pulled up, pivoted, and put back on top of the clock. Now, there's arguments. What's the next level?

Now, you could go with a robust taping, like multiple pieces, Gulliver's travel style. That would be very, by the way, this is what I occupy myself with in between work. I think that's the next level. Well, now, hold on. Andrew suggested. Chuck, this is going to crack you up. He said, put a vice.

Put it in a clamp. You put a vice. Vice is a fucking bench vice. I said, you want a C clamp or a bar clamp, you retard. He felt horrible. Chuck, don't hate him. Don't hate him. He's a college kid.

He doesn't know what's going on. But I could put a C clamp on top of it. Yeah. Or a bar clamp, they slide. Yeah. That was Andrew's suggestion. said that's going to feel like something is being constructed or the I'm not just about your napping like I'm gluing the the end table delaminated or something that's a tool she might not touch

that I suggested facing it the direction I want it and then what do you think if I got one of those like three or five pound dumbbells that chicks use that have the rubber wrapping on them and just set it on top in the direction I want it. What do you think? Zero probability that will affect the clock position. Andrew thinks she wouldn't touch it. I think something like that is experiment number two. The weight.

The weight. Experiment number three is you wrap the tape around and around. You know, my mind keeps drifting back to the tape, but then I realize this, this be my third tape approach. But I realized I could go with a more robust taping of the clock the direction I wanted. I think that's where you're going to end up. There's a hot glue process that I could be involved with. Glue it to the table. Well, to be honest, I do kind of want it. I have, this is now the 55th time. I have to go over there and change it. I'd really kind of like it left alone. Then go with something a little more permanency. Because if she, if she, if she,

pulls that up. Whoa. You're dealing with a real substantial opponent here. My thought is if I glue it to it, she's just going to pivot the whole table.

Oh, that would be fascinating. That would be amazing. That would be amazing. Okay. Let's play some bets. All right. Tape on the fan.

Do you think she pulls the tape up and pivots the fan? 100%. 100%. Okay. That's understood. five pound dumbbell on top of the clock as if it's some paperwork you're holding down in a windstorm gone gone but but i'm more curious what she does with the weight like where does that get

you know how do they clean that up does it have she might she might go put that where the other there is some stuff some weights that's what's going to happen that puts it away yep clock moved All right. Where would we be with a glue? That's the one I want to see. I think there's a 30% probability she strips it up. How about this? Really pulls it out.

Andrew, where do you come down on a Velcro adhesive tape? Like a double back, one to the nightstand, one to the clock. So when she starts pivoting it, it resists, but she can pull it up. I think you're going to see one, I think she's going to pull it up and it will face outward and you will see the adhesive backing on your nightstand.

Andrew's thinking like she is. Andrew's in her head. All right. I'm in her head, yes. Do we want to go Velcro next? I think Velcro is, Velcro is a solution because she's going to see the lone strip of Velcro

and you would have to assume no, that's where it's supposed. to go. So you think that's a solution? I think so. I'm optimistic. I don't think it'll work. She's already removed two courses of tape.

Remind you, I'll remind you, I haven't think there's a probability. She'd rip up hard glue. There's a real finite probability of that. All right. I will, I will conduct my experiment with Velcro next. That's be interesting. We could combine the dumbbell and the Velcro. Ooh.

Well, it might distract her. She'll feel like she'd have done something by moving the dumbbell. It's a decoy dumbbell. I do like that the tape is not enough. Not enough. It seems like it's always facing the wrong direction. But there's so much context of the direction because the pillow and the eye shade is just sitting right there. Obviously, this person looks at the clock.

Yeah. Yeah, but also her job is to clean up after your mess. That's not a mess. No, no, I understand. It's a clock. I understand it's a procedure. But what's this? We're looking at Velcro.

No, I got, listen, I have Velcro. I have the tabs with the adhesive back and the thing for hanging lightweight paintings and all that kind of stuff back there. All right, Drew. Yeah. In other news. Yes. There's a, oh, did we find, yes, we got that clip. It's a funny clip.

I told Drew about this, but he hadn't seen it. It was Karen Bass. Oh, yeah. And I like it. Politicians are a lot dumber than I thought. On the left, mainly the ones on the right seem brighter. Some of the left seem. Most of them.

Yeah. Most of them seem brighter than the ones on the left. Not all, but as a whole. Because Karen Bass says shit. and I don't know if she knows what she's talking about. So she was explaining how much cleaner and nicer L.A. used to be. And then she goes, but now we're more diverse. And I said, well, I guess diversity is what ruined the city then.

That's what she's implying. Well, I mean, look, let's put it to you this way. If you said Drew, forget about diversity. You know, you just went, L.A. used to be really clean. really nice and then Walmart moved into town and now it's a mess right well then you'd kind of go oh I guess you'd be blaming well no sorry you'd go it used to be real clean really nice but and now there's Walmart yeah and you go oh well you must be blaming Walmart but it's something to do with this yeah all right here it is sir well the LA that I grew up in first of all was a lot cleaner

there were not people sleeping on our streets the city was actually affordable. You could rent an apartment, work part-time, and go to school. So it was a lot different. And I am so hopeful, though, because our city has grown to be such an international city, and I love that. Everybody in the world lives here. And our city is much more diverse than it was before, many more people. But unfortunately, the city isn't affordable now. And we do have people sleeping on our streets, which is exactly why I ran for mayor. because I know how our city can be, and we're going to get there again. Oh, not if you think that's the reason people are living on the streets.

Yeah. She's implying again that it's the cost of housing. Yes, that's what she thinks. But she's blaming the international diversity. Well, she doesn't know she's saying that because she's dumb, but she's basically saying it wasn't diverse. And so I just wrote, according to her, diversity, ruined the city, because that's what she's saying.

It wasn't diverse, but it was clean. And it was safe. We didn't have people in sleep on the street. Now we're super diverse, and it's a mess. Well, she's, she is, there's a lot packed into her statement without realizing it. Yes. She's saying that it's more people causing more expense. Right.

And those more people are made up of a diverse group, and they're the problem. That's the whole implication. Well, I'm just doing the mess. math on her statement. She's too dumb to know what she's saying. What she knows is talking points, which is there's a mess and I have to clean it up, but diversities are strength, which they never stop. By the way, I don't know what diversity is our strength means. Is it work that way in Europe? What about Japan? Not so diverse? Seems to be pretty orderly. What do you mean Poland's not that diverse? They seem pretty orderly. Why is diversity or strength? Why do we take your word for

everything when you shit out a slogan? What interests me about that is I imagine her talking, you interviewing her the way Newsom spit out a bunch of BS slogan, same ones, by the way. Yes. Same ones, ultimately. And you pushing her and imagining her just freeze like she did on the jetway when she was asked why she abandoned the city during the fire. Yes. There's a Another clip that I just saw this morning, which is I labeled diversity as our strength. And I'll tell you, take a quick break. I'll play that clip right after this. For over 25 years, Bet Online has been one of the most trusted names in online sports and casino gaming.

And this year, it's all about soccer moments. As the world stops here, 48 nations and 104 matches. Every one of them is a decision that is yours to make. Bet Online has all the live lines and player props on everything sportsbook and casino through the whole tournament. No limits. And when you are right, you get paid. No ceilings, no excuses. 26 is your year for the soccer championship.

Bet on at Bet Online. So this is basically what downtown is sort of turned into. Yeah. It's sort of cops trying to, I don't know, junkies and crazy nationalities and garbage everywhere and stuff. but this is what she's proud of. She's proud of the diversity. Shut that shit up.

By the way, I just want to come back as a middle-aged, proud woman of color and just walk around yelling, shut that shit up. You shut that up, boy. Yeah.

Oh, jeez. This is our diversity. You guys see a lot of beauty and strength in our diversity. I just see a bunch of fucked up nationalities walking around the street. Yeah. All right.

Anyway, it's not tenable this position. We can't have this much diversity. Well, I mean, diversity, I hate to say it, is our strength in the sense that we absorb historically all Italians and Irish and Ukrainian. Right, but they

adopt our culture and then we move on. We have a government that functions and requires normal normative behaviors and learning language and on we go. But we've abandoned all that and chaos ensues. Right. Right? So, okay.

Yeah. Oh, there's a addendum here. You're saying this is a clip before Karen Bass became mayor, according to Andrew? No, that's current. That's recent. I'm just saying it's interesting insofar as whenever she does say these things about how the city used to be a certain way. Her language goes from, that's why I decided to run for mayor as opposed to being like, that's, but because she can't say I'm the current acting mayor and that's why the things are the way they are. It reminds me so much of Newsom standing out on the railroad tracks after a train had been completely eviscerated and vandalized.

Who's in charge here? Yeah. Him. He's in charge. And it also reminds me, though, of Biden talking about the guys with the blood coming out of their eyes coming out of the woods. Yeah. It's all very similar. It's all very similar, right?

It's a lot of talk. A lot of talk. It's not a lot of action, but it's a lot of talk, which satiates. And also talk works on dumb people and chicks because they love it. They love the talk. It's a weird, you know, you got Bet Midler, who is, I don't know, 78. Bet Midler could probably be handled physically by a nine-year-old who'd been wrestling for under two

years, wouldn't you say? Yeah, probably. I mean, physically. Yeah, it wouldn't take a 13-year-old. No. We would take a nine-year-old who'd been... Pre-pubescent. Wrestling for less than six months.

Could handle her. But when she makes her speech, she says, we're going to stand up and we're going to fight. Okay. And we're going to be at the gates. We're going to man the gates. And they come in, they pick the wrong people to mess with. Except for I don't know what she's talking about. And then everyone cheers.

And the sad part is the people that are cheering are like 76. Well, I did notice that about this whole thing. It is that you tell me this. Okay, I need your crystal brain. Ben Middler's 80. Over under on a kid from Iowa with a little wrestling experience. Seven, eight years old? What could pin her?

How long would that take? Yeah. Nine, so nine's a little, nine for sure. Yeah. Yeah, okay. I was playing, I was on my second year, third year, Pop Warner football. I was pretty scrappy when I was nine. Yeah.

Yeah. So, but there is a really kind of interesting thing that I don't have a fully form thought about, but I need your crystal brain, which is, and you're putting your finger on it a bit, all I see is old white people, right, who used to be the cool kids. There's some dumb black people in there, too. But I preponder it's an extraordinary number of... And Dumbo Latinas. But the white folk in the group remind me of the cool kids from like the 70s, 80s, 90s a little bit,

where they were the bellwether. They determined the culture. And they think they're still the same. Does that make sense? Yes, yes. And in the meantime, while they're doing that, there's an octagon in the White House, right? which is something you predicted literally, literally octagon's and safe places now in the White House. And all I saw there was a lot of young people.

Yes. Young. I think mostly white, but a fair number of black armed forces people in there. Yeah. Very appreciative of being, you know, acknowledge and stuff. And it feels like they're, I don't know, but I feel like there's a cultural trend that is, separating the generations a bit and people are not aware of it? Am I right?

They, the, the, the Bett Middlers of the world think. I mean, Jane Fonda is up there. You know, I mean, these are old people. Jane Fonda's going to be 87 or something. And what's his name? De Niro's up there. He's in his 80s. These are people not in their early 70s.

Is they're in their 80s? This is old. And beyond. They're old. Not to be ages, but let's talk about, you know, what's cool. They think they're cool. They think they're cool and they're sort of inhaling each other's fumes all the time. Yes.

And then they think that the young guys at the UFC fight are guys that were brainwashed by Joe Rogan. Or Trump. Yeah, they're brainwashed. Yeah, they're brainwashed. Yeah. Yeah. Right. Or just toxic, just overdone with masculinity.

Well, that's, well, you become toxic once you've been brainwashed by whatever bros. you know. Yes. So these are, but I think we moved off safe spaces a little bit. You know what I mean? This group is not about the safe spaces so much right now. No, no, no. They're about love.

No, no. I mean, when I said octagons and safe spaces, I don't mean that they're talking about safe spaces. Their thing is just like we need our cities, are, you know, carry. zones for legal aliens. Actually, they won't say legal aliens, but, but I don't know what you're talking about. I don't know what you're talking about. All right. Conversation from off the air. But here's, here's my whole point. They're sanctuary cities. That's a safe zone for them. But, but the reality is, is their safe zone is a place you wouldn't want to walk around at night because they're sanctuary cities. Right. Right. And the meantime, they're at their mansion. And the octagon is a place where everyone can fight and everyone has a gun, but you feel much safer. You feel safer about the guys who are judo experts who are packing a pistol. Yeah. And you'd rather hang out there. Their thing is we got rid of all the fighting skills and all the guns so it's safe to be here.

No, it is not. You're just, these guys have machetes and they're walking around high. So using your crystal brain again, how does this just continue down this road of safe spaces in octagon separating more and more? Yeah. Well, the safe spaces will collapse on themselves. But I feel like it's happening a little bit already. It is. By virtue of age.

It's like, they're so old. All right, let's hear what Bet. I don't want to hear her sing. I want to hear what she has to say. Oh, she just, oh, she only sung the song. You're bound to lose, you fascist bound to lose. Let me put you straight when you come for the rest of us. We'll fight you at the gate and you will lose.

You fascist bound to lose. Oh, I thought she gave a speech, sorry, but it's just in the song. Yeah, well, there you go. Problem solved. She's going to fight the fascist at the gate. But I've been saying it for years, this thing where, you know, it's like the fat Latina middle-aged school teacher and Garden Grove goes, ice comes into my classroom, they're going to have to get through me. It's like, that'll be easy.

You're not trained, you're not armed, you're overweight. Does this knock you over? Yeah. And by the way, you're not going to do anything. But you do love the speech part of it about standing up and fighting. Anyway, it's a lot of talk. It's a lot of talk, but there is no results. But the talk satiates, and I yelled this at you drew over and over again.

Why the talk? The talk works. It satiates. And then the decline is in. All right. What do you mean the decline is in? this group is in decline? Well, no, I'm saying whatever city, their policies are in control of.

It's just more mess, more filth, more crime, more drugs, more everything you don't want. But the speeches along the way are about people being treated with dignity and unhoused neighbors and blah, blah, blah, and then it's a shit show. Yeah. So if you're going to, you can double talk your way into disdemeanor. destruction, basically, which is what they're doing. I mean, there's a, you know, it's funny. There's a, Gad Sad talks about suicidal empathy. Yeah.

By the other, I'm interviewing him on the 17th this month, I think, later than the week. Well, we should get him in here. Andrew, make a gad sad note. There's a guy who's a boxer. And he was, I think he was called the Brooklyn Hammer. And look him up. And see if we look up this story, the Brooklyn Hammer.

He was a boxer. And during a 9-11 charity boxing match or something, when the fight was over and his gloves were off, he went to go, you know, announced. the winner, shake the guy's hand in the middle of the ring, and he just sucker-punched the guy with his ungloved hand. It's taped, but it's no glove. And he broke the guy's jaw and knocked teeth out. Like, he really caused damage to the guy. And he ended up going to Rikers for a number of years. And James Butler, Jr., known as the Harlem Hammer. And so he, he's, he's a number of years. And so he,

He fought. He lost sucker punch, Shaw Butler. Yeah, keep going in this guy's, for this guy's history. So this guy goes to Rikers. Read the story of why he's in jail for life now. So he does this. And Max Kellerman's, the boxing announcer, sports announcer, Max, good guy. and sort of idiot savant for boxing.

Max Kellerman's brother takes pity on the guy, essentially, and gets out of Rikers, and he says, you can stay with me on my sofa in my apartment or whatever. He reaches out to him. Or they arrange it, and he's basically crashing on so forth. At some point, after several months or whatever, Max Kellerman's brother kind of goes, hey, you know, it's time to clear out or whatever. Butler sort of doesn't like what he's saying. And the Harlem Hammer kills Max Kellerman's brother with a hammer in his apartment.

Oh, my. All right. All right. So my mom would have said this man is a man of color. You need to reach out to him. They need to be rehabilitated. Mayor Garcetti would have said, we owe these people a debt of gratitude when they come out of whatever.

But they will kill you with a hammer as well. So I don't know. What do you think, people? Should we just have safety ambassadors everywhere? Should we have dudes with guns? Because that's what happened. We've lost the ability, at least our politicians certainly have, to understand the difference between a criminal and somebody who's mentally ill and somebody

who's had a bad day. Right. Those are different things. What year to kill Calumet? I'm going to say like 07. 2004. Oh, four. yeah he just

I know there's not that much to it he's in jail for the rest of his life now but he he was his roommate he didn't like I think he didn't I think at some point Kellerman's brother said younger brother yeah so it's time to move out of course he didn't like

he didn't like that so he killed him with a hammer there you go everybody so he was being kind-hearted and now he's dead okay all right positive note to go out By the way, do you guys know that Max Kellerman is a boxing aficionado and a friend?

And so when I came out with a boxing movie called The Hammer, I unknowingly invited Max Kellerman to come to the premiere. And he was like, you have to understand that my brother was killed by a guy called The Hammer with the Hammer. And I'm sorry, but I can't go to your boxing premiere. I was like, oh my, what are the fucking The probability of that Movie called The Hammer Brother Killed by Hammer

By guy with the nickname The Hammer Dish Did you talk to him I may have gone back I mean he's a good dude but I mean that's You know I was like yeah sure I under Of course I understand Get over it bro
