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 on the Chubbett. Get on Dr. Drew's Board of First Scientist. Dismax Specialist. All right, I got stuff. Yeah, me too. Go ahead. Drew's got stuff. I got stuff. Everyone's got stuff.

Oh, by the way, I just want to, so I don't forget. get in Orange County now, unfortunately they're not using those unused electronic signs for anything except how much it costs to be on their private roads. Big, big sort of one of those green like freeway signs essentially instructing people to pull over if there's no injuries. Just get out of, if it steers, it clears. I thought, oh, you'd be glad to see that. I mean, pull over after an accident. Yeah, if there's no injuries. You've got to get you a conversation. Well, they know how you worry about those signs. Yes.

I, I, but there's a permanent sign. There's a permanent sign. The reason I worry about the sign is I worry about the signs

in Los Angeles. Yeah. Like as a doctor, you would worry about the eyes. And you would look into your patient's eyes,

and you're kind of milky and they look sort of bloodshot. Do you have hepatitis or something? Like, you go, what? Focus on the eyes. And you're like, no, no, the eyes are telling me. Window into the body. There's a bigger problem, potentially, by just looking at the person's eye.

Yeah. Seeing if they're high or drunk or. No, we do with skin, nail beds, all kinds of things. Yeah, I'm just looking at something. And it shows there's a bigger problem here. Yeah. So. And those signs were put up, let's remember, for the 1984 Olympics.

I see, Nandra. You have to say electronic freeway signs were put up because you said this is a permanent sign. So the electronic freeway signs were put up for the Olympics. So we think we're talking about the signs you said. You're right. You're right. The electronic freeway signs that you've been looked that is the window into the eyes that you're worried about where these signs are put up all over the freeways in Southern California, Los Angeles primarily. Yes.

To alert people on traffic flow to try to anticipate what's going to happen to the Olympics. And they've been sitting there ever since. They say click in her ticket, which is coming up. completely and utterly 1,000% redundant at this point. There's no reason. There's nothing gleaned from it whatsoever. And then they've moved it from Clicketer ticket to sort of slow it down. And you're going to get a ticket if you slow it down.

But by the way, they run the signs on the 10 freeway at 8.45 in the morning when the average speed is 7 miles an hour. And you can look up and you see a sign that says slow down. Yeah. Okay. So the reason I say that is, well, of course this city isn't efficiently run. You see what I'm saying? Yeah. And if they're satiated, they put something on that sign.

Why would you waste everyone's time with slowdown, which we're already going seven miles an hour, or click at her ticket, which everyone's already buckled in because their car has a spasm if you don't put the seatbelt on? Okay. So we're 0 for two. Now, what we don't put is use your turn signal, which would help and alleviate a lot of accidents, but we don't do that. And we don't do, if it steers, it clears, we just have people standing in the third lane with a little paint off their bumper exchanging information while cars swerve around them and creates traffic. Now, why don't we do these things?

Well, because nobody cares and we're not an efficiently run city. So what it is is I'm looking into these eyes and I'm going, this patient's got a problem. Because if the city was efficiently run, then people would put all kinds of stuff on those signs. That would help alleviate accidents and traffic and things. Simply just rotating between, use your signal, it's the law. Tires need to be properly inflated, would stop blowouts and gas mileage, All the stuff you don't want is low tires. It causes everything you don't want.

Wheels. Wheels. Low tire. All those blowouts and turnovers on those explorers or whatever in 2001 or whatever, 99 or whatever that was, that was all underinflated tires that blew out. The tires had a manufacturing problem. The manufacturing problem was when they were underinflated, then they blew out. Yeah. So all of this could be tire inflation, use your signal, and if it steers, it clears, would alleviate

tons of blowouts, tons of traffic, tons of fatalities standing in the middle of the freeway, and flow would help flow, and use your signal. Just three. Just three. You could put that. And it's not going to offend anybody, and it would all be useful. But we have slow down and put you. seatbelt on. The two things, no one

is engaged in in this town. Right. So what is that? And why is that? I see one other announcement. Buzz driving is drunk driving. Okay. Oh, that's now, now no one understood that. I mean, at least I see, I disagree

because that means sober driving is buzz driving. Ooh. Hmm. Well, think about it. I mean, if everyone's just... Logically, you're right. You're saying, if a medium is enlarged than a small is a medium. Yeah.

You moved buzz driving to drunk driving. Yeah. Well, then that means sober driving needs to move up too. Yeah. Now that's buzz driving. Or we can just move down buzzed. We'll move buzz down to sober. All right, here's my point.

It does nothing. It could do a lot. And we don't take advantage of any of it. And I would have a heart attack. If I ever heard either Nithia Rahman or Karen Bass going, well, the first thing I'm going to do is get these signs fixed up because we have too many fucking dumb drivers and no one's signals they get in accidents, they get out of the car. I want to put something on those signs that means something. By the way, I'll put anything on those signs. I mean, I'll put stop beating your kids.

I'll put anything that could do anything. Yeah, yeah. Click it or tick it does nothing. It does nothing because it's built into. Here's the point. Here's why it does nothing. you either have your seatbelt on. First off, nobody needs a reminder.

Your car is one big reminder. But okay, if there is a person that is not wearing their seatbelt who sees that sign, they've already committed to not wearing their seatbelt. They've literally clicked it behind them. Yes. It's an absolute defiance that's not going to change because of a freeway announcement. That'll be less. By the way, who understands well they're breaking the law.

Right. That is less than 1% of the travelers that is going under that sign. Less than 1% have committed to, I'm not going to let the federal government run my life. And I have clicked the thing behind me or I went on eBay and I bought one of those mail clicker things that I could just literally just click in so it would shut the fucking dashboard. Or I've had my car flashed. So the fucking sign, the placard didn't light up and the thing didn't go off and whatever it is. Either way, that is a commitment to not wearing a seatbelt. I agree.

And you'll not turn that person around. Then there's the other segment of society, which is 99.9, who does not need the reminder. Right. Because, by the way, by the time you get to the freeway sign, Drew, you are several miles from your home. And that warning started in your driveway. Yes. As you, second you turn the ignition on your car, you got that warning. By the time you get to that sign, you've been warned 150 times.

Not only that, but there's no zero people who are going to attach that seatbelt behind them, then look at that sign and go, oh, I better go off the freeway and remind myself to open this thing back up and snap it back in. Zero. Zero. That sign affects zero people. And by the way, the drunk driving sign, the buzz driving, all that shit should be in Spanish. Because those are the people who do the buzzed driving in this city because they fucking work construction. And after they knock off on Friday, some guy shows up with a 12 pack of taccati and they hang out a little.

And they slug a few tucati's down. And then they head back to their apartment in Van Nuys and the truck. I mean, most of all that shit should be in Spanish. And same with click it or ticket or whatever. If there's anyone who's not wearing a seatbelt in this town, it's just a Mexican dude's driving a beat-up old Ford F-150 from the 70s or whatever, it doesn't put a seatbelt on. Yeah.

Yeah. Okay. All right. So we neglect the sign. And that means... By the way, if you really are interested in helping a certain group of people... No, no. They're not.

That's the point. Right. Right. Okay. So most that shit should be in Spanish. Number one. number two, we have no interest in real interest in affecting any change or doing anything in this town. Yeah.

Otherwise, it would show up on the sign. That's what I'm saying. Yeah. And I have no. Or we shut them the fuck off. We just leave them be. No, it's better. No, no, no, no.

First of all, do not think I haven't figured all this out. Okay. Okay. Here's what we would do. Yeah. And here's what we should do. lease it all out to Taco Bell or Pepsi or fucking Dodger Stadium. I don't know.

Sell it. Yeah. Sell it and raise millions and millions and millions of dollars. You're right. And put it toward the high speed rail or whatever the fuck it is. That's some of the most valuable real estate in California. Yep. Those signs.

Millions of people sitting in traffic staring through their windshield. You being able to put the name of your podcast on. that sign would be invaluable. But you could sell that shit to fucking Chick-fil-A or Burger King, too, or anything. Yeah. Send it, sell to Sydney Sweeney's sports book company. You could sell, first off, you can just basically go a Coca-Cola. By the way, we can do Taco Bell, but we can do regional.

We can do Disneyland. Yeah, yeah, we do Dodger game. We do something's coming up, Rams, whatever. I mean, do whatever we want. For sports gambling. You're absolutely right. Draft Kings. You never actually have shared this idea with me.

Draft Kings on a fucking Sunday morning. Yeah. People will be driving on a football, NFL football Sunday, and we will get millions of eyeballs all throughout Los Angeles and California, and it's going to say draft kings. How about during the Olympics? They could use it like crazy, just in between whatever announcements they want to put up there about traffic. You know, they could still use it for what it's designed for and have advertisements.

on there. At this point, there's not a lot of information. You're sitting in fucking traffic, and it just says 32 minutes to LAX or whatever. Everyone's got a fucking smartphone, Drew. It's done. I know. You don't need to, you got your fucking ways. You're sitting in traffic. You got 32, 33 minutes to LAX. There's nothing the city needs to provide on the side. 11 minutes you'll get to Topanga Canyon. Okay, thank you. It's on my fucking dashboard. No, sell it all. Sell it all and the kind of business you would do

because it would not be exclusively Taco Bell. It'd be everyone all the time. There'd be prime time. That's fucking traffic hour Monday through Friday. It costs less to do it at 2 a.m. on Thursday, but we're still charging. We should find out what one of those electronic, where you guys can look this up? What do one of the, oh.

Do not do things with Drew when he's talking, people. Don't do things with Drew when he's talking. He can't stop. He can't, you can't do things when Drew's talking. He has to comment on what happens. A picture of Bert Reynolds was drifting into my field of vision. But in a event, if we could get. It's their fault.

I told you you can't do. You're right. Who's holding the sign up? It's my fault. What's the sign? I can't help myself. I'm sorry. All right, go ahead.

So I would love to see somebody tell us how much it costs, how much they rent the space on those electronic signs that change all the time. Those, they're sort of digital signs that have, you know, a really vivid, they have multiple different announcements on one. You're just talking about a billboard. It's a billboard that's electronic billboard. Yeah, electronic billboard. And around the country, you don't really see those.

Yeah, they're all. They're all over the place. Any of it, what do they get for Ann Ad on that? say on the Santa out of freeway. It would be interesting to know. And then multiply that times 50. And that's what you could get. It's not even, I don't know that it's 50 even.

It may be 250. Yeah, yeah. I mean, there's, how many those, let's see how many electronic freeway signs there are in SoCal, do you want to say, or just say in California? You mean the freeway? Electronic freeway signs. I just talked about electronic.

Shut up. How many electronic freeway signs are there? in California. They'll know we're talking about the electronic freeway signs, not the ones that are privately owned that are next to the freeway. All right, now we need Burt Reynolds as well. 1,200. Yeah, so don't do times 50.

Wow. All right. Billboard and Santa Freeway cost between $3,500,000 per month. For a static bulletin. I don't want the static one. It doesn't matter. All right, listen, give me Bert Reynolds. We'll give you time.

but how many state... 1,200, does you say? Run, just to make sure electronic freeways... Well, then he had another number under that would add to some confusion. All right. Hold on. We got to... We got to take a break.

But let's do this. Just to be clear. Finish the freeway discussion? Well, no. These guys need homework. Okay. How many California-run electronic freeway signs are in the system and all? of California. We may have that already.

May not know. And then how much for one of those freeway signs off the side of the freeway? Not static. It can be static because it doesn't really matter. I think you, well, that's be interesting. Does one pay more?

Well, no, if it's static, your products on their 24-7. Yeah. Same number, 1200. Okay. 1,200 freeway signs. All right. So, all right, Listen, if you got a bunch of companies and they're paying, you know, 10 grand a month times 1,200 times a whole bunch of companies, it's going to fucking add up. Or you can sweet. You know, there's all these deals that the Olympics make in terms of, you know, Pepsi sponsoring the swimming or something.

You could sweeten that deal by going, and we'll put the sign up, you know, it'll add another X,000, millions of dollars to the deal. Yeah, all right. So anyway, we just bring in millions of dollars a month to the state coffers, and we pledge it to the schools or the railway or whatever it is, because right now we're at zero. And I don't even know what, again, click it or ticket. So we're at zero. We could be at something. All right. We'll take a break. We'll hear from Bert Reynolds right after this. Hello, and welcome to Plutofo. If you need to. know the name of the movie you'd like to see, just stream it for free on Pluto TV,

where all your blockbuster favorites are landing all summer long. Catch Anchorman, the legend of Ron Burgundy. Fantastic. The Matrix trilogy. Welcome to the real world. Mean girls. Shut up. Titanic.

I'm the king of the world. And so much more. For showtimes, press nothing. They're free 24-7. That is so fetch. On Pluto TV, stream now, pay never. Okay. Now, Joey back there did the conversion from,

this is Whoopi talking about Sidney-Sweeney, which we broke down on our last show, and with the AI voice of Bert Reynolds. Sidney-Sweeney, actress, said her provocative new ad for a sports gambling site was, quote, Embracing About Embracing, a fun idea to cut through the noise and put the focus on sports. But the ad is getting backlash from some female athletes like surfer Felicity Pomer.

So Sidney-Sweeney responded to the backlash by posting images of Serena Williams, Ronda Rousey, and other athletes who pose nude for magazine covers. Now, when an athlete does it, it's a whole different thing because you're looking at this athlete and their athletic body and all the different muscles. Oh, Bustles, Bert. Ronda Rousey, you see what her arms look like. You know, that's an athlete. Yeah, you're an actor who took a gig to make some dough. Oh. I'm not mad at you.

Oh, thanks, Bert. I'm not mad. I'm not mad at you. But I don't think you can put yourself on equal footing with when the female athletes do. I think it's a different thing. I am a gambler. I enjoy gambling. I don't mind that people bet

because I think adults make decisions for themselves and that's okay everything you're saying is right and everything we are saying at the table is right Oh thanks, Bernie Sweeney is doing her The female athletes are doing them

Let everybody do each other But Sidney understand that when you It would be like, I don't know An athlete trying to put on a different face And say I'm representing this I'm representing sports. So I think what you're doing is fine, but just know why.

They might be a little upset because it's taken them forever to get the respect. Oh. So that's, I think, what their point is. So good. But now you realize it's total gibberish, right? Because Bert Reynolds doesn't make any sense at all. I also missed the bar. Whoopi said she's a gambler.

But when Bert says it kind of jumps out. Yeah. Oh, my God. It's gibberish, and it's, you know, in a weird way, Bert kind of represented some of the excesses of the 70s, you know what I mean? Where people had opinions and thought a lot of themselves who shouldn't have been even talking. Right. Burt was definitely one of those people at times. Yeah.

Yeah. But it highlights and underscores the pure gibberish that is Whoopie Goldberg. because there's a subject, and I have no idea. We've listened to her point in her voice and in Burt Reynolds' voice, and we still have no fucking idea what she was talking about. Well, it's more jervous in Burtz, strangely, which is interesting. Well, I guess that you expect it from her or something. I don't know.

But the reason I created Burt Reynolds is so you would understand that whether it's Whoopi Goldberg or Gavin Newsom, they don't know what the fuck they're talking about. Right. They have no idea what they're. talking about. I don't know why they think they know what they're talking about. All right. Oh, Andrew's got. I will say this. I feel like it makes a little bit more sense when Bert Reynolds says it. Like there's a little bit more coherence to it. Like 3% more. Okay. I don't know. Because I had the opposite experience, which was it's like more like it sounds more BSy because

Bert was a big BSer. You know, it sounds like, all right, Bert. It was a little bit more clear that Sidney-Sweeney posted photos of athletes after the backlash when Bert said it. Like, I didn't understand when Whoopi was saying it because it was so mumbly and that stuff. All right. There was a clip. Go ahead. Yeah? And I forget it.

Okay. Dana Bash or Dana Bash. There's a couple of clips we had. She went on a podcast. and I don't think Scott Gottlie was that his name? No, Scott Oh no, here we are.

Yeah. The point is she, the folks who report the news on the left who we look at is on the left

like Leslie Stahl 60 minutes or 60 minutes in general before Barry Wise or is Mike likes to call her Barrie Wise And then I say, it's not barry, it's Barry.

And then he goes, whatever. Who cares? And I go, well, she cares. And you're going to go meet her in a few hours. So you should probably call her what she goes by. And then he'll go, well, what kind of B-A-R-I? What is that? I'll go, I don't know, Mike.

I don't know. That's her name. That's what she goes by. So I'll just call her what she goes by. I won't make up another name for her. It's doable. I don't know. I don't know what the difference between like a Steen and a Stein is.

All I know is I heard this person's name said this way multiple times, so I will then oblige them and say it that way. Fair enough. I don't know that there's some force in the universe that makes it right or wrong. I'm looking to just replicate what other people do. Fair enough. And what the person responds now. That's for me.

Okay. So I don't know that 60 Minutes knew who they were. and I don't know, I don't feel like Dana Bash, Dana, knows who she is. She thinks she's just reporting the news because she thinks she's a journalist. She doesn't know she's biased. Right. But we know she's biased. That's the thing about bias.

It's like a cognitive distance. Right, right. So let's listen to her. I guess first explain what she thought about Trump versus Obama, I guess that. And is she on Jessica's... Is that one or two? I'll put them in whatever order you want. Is she on Jessica's podcast?

Or is... No, you just said Scott. You're right. I see Jessica Tarloff. She's filling in or something. No, this is Raging Moderates. This is Jessica's podcast with Scott Galloway. Oh, okay.

You said Scott. I didn't... I saw Jessica. I was like, I'm confused. Okay, I get it. Why is that a problem? I saw Scott and then I saw Jessica. I'm confused.

It's just two people doing a... I did not occur to me that they had a podcast together. All right, here we go. Fear as this animating factor in why people turn out or make the choices that they do. I think those are actually connected in today's times because fear is how President Trump got elected. We went from hope to fear, very starkly,

from Obama to Trump, and anger. grievance. All right. Can you pause for a second? This thing of like fear. That's why you vote Republicans because you're scared. Scared. Well, I'm scared that a bunch of progressive fucking nut jobs have a bunch of horrible

ideas that'll destroy my city. And I've been around long enough. Portland was paradise. Seattle was paradise. Los Angeles was paradise. San Francisco was paradise. And then you fucking nut jobs ruined it. So yes, I have a.

fear of converting. By the way, if I owned a car wash and you had a bunch of really shitty ideas that bankrupted car washes, I would have a fear of you taking over my car wash. But I don't know it's fear black people or like fear the clan or fear, you know, whatever stupid, whatever their stupid argument. By the way, it's always self-aggrandizing. Like the dumb people, they don't know. Yeah. You know, they're just so easily manipulated. By the way, easily manipulated? Hello, COVID. What did you just do

with your college educated folks? Fuck them up. All right. But anyway, fear. It's fear. It's why people voted for him. It's not taxes. Or by the way, leave me alone, which is the other one.

Right. Yes. I did. You know, we went from hope to fear, very starkly, from Obama to to Trump and an anger. Anger. And grievance.

Grievance. And he still employs that. every day. And the flip side of that is the fear of him, the fear what he will do, and the fear, what if he goes another two years, the rest of his term, unchecked, without a Democratic Congress? Fear. All right. Yeah. It's so scary. He could build a ballroom. Right. Oh, man. Or he could fix a fountain or something. All right. So now that's her earlier in the podcast explaining

how basically she loved Obama with the hope, and now she hates Trump with the fear. And now here's her answering a question about her journalism. I'm curious with you, two questions, and I'll try and be Chris. One, I see you as a centrist. I think one of the reasons I enjoy coming on your show and speaking to you is I see you squarely, and I don't know this, but my impression is that you're pretty squarely in the middle that you're a centrist.

I get the sense, and part of this is being defensive because I'm getting attacks so much. There's no room for centrists anymore that everybody hates you. No room in the middle. And yes, I don't even know that I would describe myself as a centrist because I've only been a journalist, my whole adult life. So I've never, I mean, I'm a registered independent, but I don't have the ability to sort of, in my mind,

make decisions about my point of view, truthfully. I know you're going to say that's ridiculous. there are some things that I have an opinion on, but I'm so trained to look at all the sides and all of the arguments that, so that is the answer. Yeah, I think being objective, but also objective about truth and facts, not just objective about different parties' ideology.

Cutting her a little slack. Yeah, I would see. She doesn't know what she's doing. By the way, this fucking podcast should be called the Circle Jerk podcast. Uh-huh. No, yeah, no, you are. No, you're not.

Yeah, you are. The views already got that. Yeah. So giving her some slack, I would say that may be true, but she cannot. What may be true? That she is trying to look at all sides, that she does have opinions that she holds back on. But then when she goes too far and is in error, does not identify it, does not cop to it, does not apologize for it, and doesn't change.

Right. That's the weakness. She may have a strength, in fact, in terms of staying kind of moderate. but when she does go crazy like she did during COVID, she should raise her hand and go, wow, that happened to me. I'm shocked. I consider myself the way she described yourself. And I apologize.

We're getting back to Mama being the umpire of a little league game where their kid is pitching. I don't think many women have not all, but from a percentage standpoint lower than men, do not have the ability to not let their feelings. And I'll tell you why. I'm going to tell you why, but you tell me why. It always comes out in the form of a debate. When the person comes on their show, and by the way, when they moderate debates,

you'll see them going after Trump and like going light on the other person. They have all cameras on them. They've been chosen to be a moderator because they're fair and balanced and even-handed. They're going to call balls and strikes. You still see them going after. And with women, you see the eyes. You see what goes on with their eyes. You see them get angry and sit up.

And like, you know, Robert Kennedy's talking about vaccinations. And you see him all of a sudden she does it. Kristen Welker does it. They get confrontational. Their voice goes up. The tone goes up. The eyes go up. That is them being awoken.

And that is not you just trying to extract. information. Right. Or. That's an emotional reaction. Yeah. Or, or it's, by the way, it's an emotional reaction that we could get with a tumessence monitor or a functional MRI or whatever it is.

Andrew, you got the tumetance monitor I got you for Christmas on. Let's show out the Sydney Sweeney ad and give a temescence monitor. We'll see what happens here. The point is, is a good way to add, you know with his ads just thriving the way it should, being experienced with it's intended. him up to a lie detector machine. The guy would go, her pulse increased a little and blood flow. Skin, galvanic skin response.

Right, right. There'd be stuff because they don't like Trump and they don't like Kennedy and they don't like Cash Mattel and they don't like whatever. And because that's not their side. Yeah, yeah. When the other side comes on to debate, you know, when Adam Schiff comes on, they go, well, we've got to play devil's advocate here. But you did talk about the Russian collusion, but we have not heard.

her in the Mueller report, but they don't sit up and get agitated. And that's the tell. Let's talk about an outlier. Did Megan Kelly successfully navigate as the moderator of some of those debates without having those reactions? I think you'd have to go back and look. I think she reacted. I don't. And then she got it together, as I recall. Oh, you mean with Trump? With Trump and the whole, the whole, her navigating all that. Trump sort of personally went after her. Yeah. And I guess when people personally go after, look, if you're on their side, male, female, what side, whatever, and somebody sort of launches into a personal thing on you, then there is a reaction to that.

That's to be expected. Here's what I think. I think when the Wright moderates, they're very worried about the optics of I'm the father, my nine-year-old son is pitching, and I do not want the optics of being hometown calls. Right, right, right. So I may go a little harder in that strike zone for this boy, right? Yeah.

I don't think women have the ability. I think once that ball is in the air on a full count, they don't have that ability. Just like they don't have the ability to not puff up and sort of show it in their eyes and do whatever. Yeah. So Dan, is not technically lying.

She doesn't know who she is. And she doesn't know how it comes across. She doesn't know that everyone watching her on TV knows. It's kind of a weird thing. It'd be like me saying, I don't, you know, I don't care about Red Torn Eras. And you go, what do you mean? Everyone who watches you knows that that's all you talk about.

And I go, I'm a law-abiding guy who thinks, you know, I like a green era. I like a red era. I don't, you know, nobody's listening to you is experiencing you the way you, you have a version of yourself that lives in your head. Fair and moderate, right down the middle, balls and strikes, journalistic integrity. That's not the side that you show on TV. Yeah.

If it is, we would have heard a lot more indifferent information during COVID. If you're a journalist. Yeah. Okay. And I want to add, I want to add, pile on to that a little bit after the break. Quick break. Be right back. So the other thing, there's an evolutionary thing in here. I don't know if you and I've talked about, I'm sure we've talked about it in various contexts,

but that women have more on the big five personality profiles, they have more agreeableness. And that agreeableness is founded in our evolutionary heritage. In the environment of evolutionary adaptiveness back in the savannas, women would gather right? They would share safety information, cultural information, how to keep children rare and safe and whatnot. But if you violated the cultural or social norms of the group, you would be ostracized. And ostracism in that environment would mean death. You'd be out in the savanna eaten by hyenas, whatever, and your child would too. And so women evolved to a high degree of agreeableness to the point where once they're swept into a group sort of process or opinion, they're not even aware of it.

No, I- And that's Dana. When she was into the COVID hysteria mass formation, she doesn't even know that happened to her. Yeah, well, when you listen to Whoopie and her insane gibberish, like literally if you sat on a Whoopie cushion, you would get more information than what Whoopie puts out of her mouth. But when you hear whoopi or anyone else on the view making no sense at all, the other voices you hear in the background is, uh-huh. Oh, yeah. Yeah. No, that, right, what she said.

Like, you have this weird agreement thing. It has a whole prosody to it. It's a chorus to it. Right. When, if that were men speaking, you'd hear voice going, I disagree. You know, you'd hear that voice off the side going, no, I don't know. I don't know about that. Now I got a different take.

Yeah. But when women, you just hear the chorus of, uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Yeah. Yeah. By the way, black people do that too, which is interesting as well.

I don't know how that correlates, but you're the guy will be up there talking about whatever and you hear everyone in the church. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. I think that's mostly women, isn't it? Uh, it's black men do it a lot more, a lot more, too. But I don't know. Maybe that's something from the Savannah.

I don't know. The Serengeti, I don't know. There's something, there's a certain, there's a certain deficit in terms of an intellect that you should not be just nodding along with shit people are saying. You should be listening to what they're saying and then seeing if you could break it down. Now, also, I am a yes and guy. there's nothing worse than the person who's just disagreeing for no good reason, which I don't tolerate. If someone is making a point, let them make their point. And if you'd like to have a better point, by all means.

By the way, no one's, the batting average of people who disagree with me, then offering up a better point than mine is not measurable. Because they just are disagreeing. But it's, would you allow people like, hey, that's a good point, but I disagree, here's why kind of thing. At least an acknowledgement. Yeah. That's kind of a yes, and okay. Yeah. So I, before we finish something, I want to finish something.

I think we touched on, but I don't remember because I didn't remember this part of it. This is Ryan Reynolds. Mm-hmm. Were you with me when he came, you must have been, when he came in as part of the cast of two guys, a girl in a pizza shop? Sure. Okay. Yeah. And any contact I had with him then and since was only positive.

I only consider the guy to be a good dude. And he gets a lot of weird sort of neg. I think it's all jealousy and envy and stuff because he's done so well financially. And Rob McElhaney from Always Sunday in Philadelphia is a good friend of his. And he's a good guy. And he talks about what a good guy Ryan is. Any of that. But Ryan went off the rails a little bit.

talk about the 80s. I don't know if you saw that video. I did see that video. Yeah, where he says essentially the video, 80s were a tough time and we just got off the Cuban missile crisis. We're like, what? We were a million miles from that. And I kind of wanted to get your thoughts on it. Is this that video right now? Yeah, he's little teeing it up for us. Your thoughts on this, because I'm not, we probably talked about it off the air, but I'm not sure we talked about it on. No, we haven't talked about it on Mike. Okay. All right. What's interesting about when you get far enough away from a time period that's quite distinct, I think there's always a lovely feeling associated with.

It's almost like you pave over all the trauma with like puppy dogs and ice cream. And the 80s was a brutal, brutal time for people. It was a fucking mess. And like, you know, people forget that it was like that was a tremendous strife, sociopolitical tensions everywhere. You know, we're still like pretty fresh off like a Cuban missile crisis, which is only like, what, 15, 20 years before. So, you know, it's a, it's a tumultuous.

period, but you look back at it now and you're like, oh yeah, top gun, cocaine. Like, no, it was like really scary. All right. We got it. So what did you think? I know him to be a nice guy for my interactions with him. You know, I went guest starred on that show. The pizza thing?

Yes. Oh, no kidding. I forgot that. Yes. I was literally guest starred on an episode where I played myself. I didn't come into Love Line that night. Yeah, I kind of remember this now that you mentioned. I'd forgotten.

Yeah, I was like, they're not going to let me have the night off, so I'll just tell them I need to wrap by 930 or something. We just went to 11. I was like, I'm not coming in. So you're on your own. Once in a while, you can handle it. So, and Ryan's a good dude. He's married to a, you know, Hollywood person who may be, look.

She's probably better than she's portrayed because she's with him. That's so how I look at it. I don't know that she's better than she's portrayed. I've heard plenty of stories about her. And she does, I mean, look, I'm sorry, Drew, but anybody who does a thing where they do this, I'm sort of through with that. Okay. And there was a story, and maybe Andrew can suss it out.

But part of her situation with her Me Too moments or whatever is like, I've had it happen to me. it drives me insane. It also makes me question the character of the person that's putting this forward. Like when they go, you know, they'll say something like all her accusations were like, he burst into my trailer. I was pumping or breastfeeding at the time. I jumped up and asked him to leave. He laughed and said he wouldn't.

He was going nowhere. He wanted to see the show. And then you find the text later where she's inviting him over to the trailer and he says, I'll wait till you're done pumping or whatever. And she goes, no, I have a towel. Don't worry about it. Like, I can't stand. Those are the worst people on the planet.

Women do it a lot. Guys are certainly capable of doing it. I've had it done to me. It's fucking insane. The distortion. Also, what are you saying about? You're calling the person a pervert or a rapist or a fucking a cruel dad or whatever. when you get divorced, all the shit flies around and you're like, really, you're saying I'm this.

I'm a dangerous person in front of my kids or whatever that thing is. It's ludicrous. It's insane. But it also means you have horrible character to do that. You know what I mean? Yep. So she made a lot of her allegations were like completely twisted. I mean, she's fucking nuts.

Okay. So if you take a Ryan Reynolds type Canadian, nice guy, well, when you met him, when I met him, he was just, you know, number three on a sitcom that was going to get canceled. You know what I mean? Then he became Wolverine. So things change. I'm trying to remember the name of his character. Oh, it doesn't matter. Yeah.

All right. Things change. Yeah. And now if you marry someone who raises horses, who comes from Montana. who spends a lot of time with her family in Montana who had a ranch, then that might prevent you from spinning off into Hollywood sort of la, la land. Stuff, yeah. Free Palestine, or whatever.

But what if you're married to someone who was into free Palestine and not into raising horses? Well, now it's going to suck you that direction. And you're saying that's what gave me the 80s opinion? No, what's going on is, first off, everyone has to talk about fear and safety for everything all the time. Every sentence needs to be punctuated with some sort of fear or safety discussion. It's a fucking wreck.

It's the worst ever. It's paralyzing. Yes. In lieu of free Palestine or fuck Trump, there's some sort of safety fear thing built in. This guy, he's running on a platform of hatred. People don't feel safe anymore. You know, I don't know, I have no idea with me. Okay.

Also, celebrities feel compelled to offer some sort of sociological insight that we don't have, that's somehow missing. And they love to do a, you know, people say, that's kind of a version of the founding fathers were slave owners. Oh, thank you for this information that we didn't formally have. And now you're telling us, you know, they, they're like. like to do if things weren't so good. If you ever go, I just want to go back to the days when gas was 55 cents a gallon, the guy came out, cleaned your windshield, and you could go to bed

with you. Oh, and slavery? Okay. Jim Crowe. Okay. Thank you. Thank you. So people weren't safe. Weird safety with a little retarded pontification. That's all that was. I feel like it probably made too much of it. Yes, 80s were much better time. Not for me, but for everyone. But I think he was talking about the 70s. It didn't really realize it. Because the 80s was the relief from the 70s. He was like, oh, my God. He meant the 80s.

He felt compelled to have some sort of discussion about safety. I don't know. Andrew, I'm sorry. Do you have whatever? Yeah, well, I think also two comedies that are just silly and don't have any sort of serious thread to them, just get filleted by critics now. So he's trying to lasso his goofy Russian comedy

with Kenneth Bronigan to be in, like, oh, this is, we tackle real serious issues. Oh, is that what that was? Yeah. Oh, it's interesting. They kind of tried to get at some. I watched it. I watched that guy.

It was, I watched it because of him. And it was too much, you know, a lot of violence and stuff. But it was an interesting throwback, an interesting take. And it was 70s, though. What were some of the allegations that she leveled against Bandini or whatever's name? It was newly unsealed text meshes, legal panel. Del Doni. Eltoni.

Key details. Wardrobe and Creative Control court filings. Yeah, there were things where like she would tell him it's okay to come by the trailer and whatever and then accuse him of, you know. Well, this is one of the horrible things about witnessing and memory and eyewitnesses and all this stuff. People have horrible memories. they rely way too much. They lean on them as though they are playing back a film, and they almost never are.

I don't agree. Keep scrolling, by the way. There was something about breastfeeding or pumping or whatever lactation or something. You can figure that one out. But no, here's what it is. It's one thing, look, Jimmy and I, when we take a walk down memory lane,

Jimmy goes, no, I was sitting against the, I was on the window seat, you're on the aisle. I was like, no, you're sitting on the aisle seat. I was on the window. Okay, remember things differently. This is you remembering things to try to sue somebody or put them in jail. Well, it's called motivated reasoning, right? That I don't like. And that's people all fall victim with that.

They don't even know what's happening to them. Yes. Yeah, so Blake Glythe, everything is as I remember, by the way. Yeah. Well, I know that. And that's why somebody. Blake lively, sorry, text of Jessibaldoni, saying, I'm just pumping in my trailer if you want to work out lines, which later became a focal point of legal filings regarding onset privacy and interactions. So she said, I'm just hanging out pumping if you want to come to the trailer and work on lines.

And then later on, it turned into, you know, him. Maybe she had a postpartum syndrome that was making all that worse. It could have been. All I'm saying is, I have no time for the fight. You're not allowed. But by the way, you're going to destroy someone's life. Yeah, I know. Because of your line.

And by the way, some people do have screen recall. You do. One of my son does, I used to. I have to be careful because I almost behave as though I still have that, which I don't anymore. Well, you have a kind of screen recall that when you're in the middle of a sentence and a picture of Bert Reynolds pops off, you scream. That's a scream recall. Oh, I thought you said scream recall.

To the screen. Oh, okay. Hey, it's Bert Reynolds. Yes, I, if I hear something, when I describe, I'm not even following the Blake lively Baltony trial. I even know their names, but if I hear something once, I will repeat it pretty much as it was. and the whole pumping and trailer come to the trailer thing.

Yes. Yeah, you still have that. It's good. I can lean on it. I know. Okay. But by the way, so when I say to Mike August for a third time, that guy's name is not Todd. That guy's name is Dan.

And that'll cover everyone in this building. You should stop and go, the guy with the nutty recall, maybe that should be, yeah, factor it in. That's all I'm saying. Yeah. Factor it. All right. Sunday, Santa Ana, Jordan Family, classic cars.
