The Adam and Dr. Drew Show - #2108 - The Funny Thing about Memory | Part 1

Episode Date: October 14, 2026

Adam opens the show by venting about some of his repeatedly frustrating conversations with women before he and Dr. Drew admit they both have an unhealthy relationship with work. Drew brings up new advancements in dentistry, prompting Adam to revisit his long-running complaint that the field never seems to make any major breakthroughs. The two also talk about people with incredibly specific long-term memories and photographic recall before marveling at just how unusual the Hungarian language sounds.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Recorded live at Corolla 1 Studios with Adam Carolla and board certified physician and addiction medicine specialist Dr. Drew Pinsky. You're listening to The Adam and Dr. Drew Show. Yeah, get it on. Got to get on a ched-old. Get it on. Dr. Drew's board first-size-sat. Sitz. Sitz by and shibati. Hickab-Buh. Get it on. Get it on. He is in Florida. right now. Yeah. I was thinking to you today, Drew. Yes. Because I'm curious. I have thoughts. We talk a lot about the difference between men and women, right? And I think we assume, and probably

rightfully so, that somehow women have more empathy than men or sympathy or some portion of that, right? Yes, yes. But I'll tell you, this is a personal experience thing. But as I was, had an argument with my daughter last night on the phone, because she was sort of saying, you need to sign off on this thing. I'm going to Europe or Spain. I'm going to study abroad. You need to this and that.

You know, and you kind of need to get it together because we've been sending you to this stuff for three days. I love it. You need to literally use that. kind of language? No, she was just like, this stuff got sent to you a few days ago and you didn't respond. And I said, I go, look, I've been traveling nonstop. Yeah. Nonstop. And I literally was in Philadelphia, sorry, I was in Pennsylvania an hour outside of the Philly airport. and Mike, Mike and I, after doing two shows an hour and a half away the night before, I'm going to bed at 1.15.

I said, we woke up at 4.15. I want to talk to your wife? All right, so. I'm getting directions on camera angles while I'm trying to listen to your damn story. You look good. You're fine. So, all right, here's the whole point. I just sort of said to her Susan, please.

Please. Does she know you're doing a podcast? Yes, and she's giving me, you have to do it. You have to change the camera. All right, we'll change it however you want. Here we go. All right. That's so much better.

That's so much better. Oh, my God, I'm a different person. Who are you? Who is this man? All right. So, all right, we're good. We're good. So, now, I basically said, I'll get to my thought.

But I said, look, I was up at 4.15 this morning. And I was in Philadelphia at 4.15 this morning after doing four shows, five shows over the weekend. And I'm just gassed, you know, and she said, yeah, but you really got to take care of this paperwork or whatever. And I said, yeah, I will. And she goes, no, but seriously. I go, I'm telling me I'm going to take care of it. She pulled two things on you, by the way. Yeah, but still, and I'm serious.

So I go, I go, yeah, I know. I'm just exhausted because I literally started this day. It's 8 o'clock at night at this point, L.A. time. But today started for me at 1.15 a.m. L.A. time. I've been doing is working and traveling since I'm going to take care of it tomorrow. And she kind of goes like, yeah, you know, you say that, but you don't always do it. And I like, I get it. And she goes, yeah, because it's really important.

And I go, stop, don't say that again. Don't do not say it again. I heard you, I heard you the first time. I heard you the third time. You don't have to bring it up. Well, sometimes I have to bring it up. I literally, I hung up the phone because I, I was like, I gave you five warnings, and I told you that I was completely gassed, and this is the exact wrong time.

By the way, we're comparing and contrasting you going to Spain and me going to Newark. Right. You know what I mean? Right. And you're going to Spain to kind of study, hang out, and you're working. This is the perfect, this is the exact wrong time to really start digging into this stuff, because all I'm thinking about is paying for everybody to go everywhere. while I work every weekend. But I, and I didn't like the conflict,

and I didn't like the, I did not like the whole thing. But I was like, I'm not feeling any empathy at all. Right. That's total, that's empathic failure. Well, yeah, but then I, I hearken back to my ex-wife doing that stuff where I would go, just listen to me.

You don't know what I've just been through. I need to, you know, and it's like, boom. right on to the next. Whatever. I've had girlfriends that are that way. Like, like, I'm trying to explain to them. Like, I woke up at 4 a.m. in Pennsylvania. You understand this is the wrong.

No, I don't want to stop and get you a Starbucks on the ride back from work. Like, this is the wrong day for that, you know? Like, with a, why? What's the problem? Like, but I'm realizing there's a thing, which is like, when somebody says to me, me, you do it all the time. When someone goes, I do it all the time? No, I'll tell you what you do. Like when someone goes, I was up at 4 a.m. in Pennsylvania and I just walked through the, you go like, oh, like, you get it. Like that feeling of, I went to bed at 1.15. I woke up at

415. Yeah. I packed my bags. I met Mike in the hall. Mike and I drove for an hour to the Philly the airport, Mike dropped off the rental car. I tried to get the check on bag checked in. And that's, that, that, that, this has been my day. Mm. Thus far. And if someone tells me that story, I go like, oh, wow. Yeah, they can feel the pain.

Yes, I can feel like, that, that, that super sleep deprivation thing. I always go, oh, man, that's fucking smart. But especially if they're paying for me, you know, like, if they were using that money to pay for whatever, I'd be like, ah, I don't get that from... I'd be embarrassed. I'd be like ashamed of us. Yes, I don't get it from modern women at all. My ex-wife didn't engage in any of that stuff.

It was never like, oh my God, do you want an omelet? It's just, come on, everyone's got their problems. You know, like, it was just, it was a number thing. I used to try it. I'd go, like, you don't get it where I woke up this morning. I was in Philadelphia this morning. You know, it was like, but... Did you feel it at the paperwork?

A notary is coming here once we're done. Everything. Everything has to be notarized. Everything. Everything has to be notarized because we're a litigious world. We're California. I have a notary come by the studio once a month for bullshit that has not necessarily. Every time.

Yes. When I'm done with us today. I shall be notarizing stuff with some paperwork or whatever. It's just what I was thinking about, what I was realizing is a lack of empathy, but it's not really a lack of empathy. It's a sort of bad at math sort of thing. Like I'm going, I woke up at 1.15 our time today. 1.15.

I've been traveling since 1.15. this morning. I am gassed out. And they'll go, yeah, but couldn't you just stop by and pick up the stuff on your way in? Like, they're not really doing the math. Maybe they never done at that level. There's that. There's that part of that. There's that part too. Yeah. There's no, which is like, you've never experienced this. It's hard to like really understand how bad it feels. And to be fair, you and I don't have a normal relationship with work. Mm-hmm. You know? I get it. I'm simply. saying like when I was trying to get divorce and stuff, I kept saying to my ex-wife,

you don't get what I have to do, what I have to do every day. And you don't want to do this to the person who's doing this, you know, and it was like, there's zero thought about it. But then you do it, and so everyone just assumes that's just what you do. Right. But if they did it and you told them, I need you to keep doing this so you can underwrite my life doing stuff that I want to do, they would have a completely different attitude about this. Completely. One thousand, they would never stop being pissed off about it. So, but it made me sort of think women, I think of as more sympathetic, more empathetic.

More capacity for it. But yet in the- Doesn't mean they're going to use it all the time. In my personal experience, when I have tried to describe like what I have to do to women, they just go, yeah, so what? Like, they don't care. They don't care. You know, it's like a weird, it's strange, I think.

And I also think weirdly when I don't have, I'm not empathetic, sympathetic, compassionate, blah, blah, blah. But if somebody told me they woke up in Philadelphia this morning at 115, I would immediately back off. Like I just go, get it. I know that feeling. we'll talk in the morning or some version of that. I would not keep going.

You wouldn't even think about it. No, and I would also be, I'd be embarrassed. Embarrassed, I'd slink away, exactly, exactly. Especially when, if they kept repeating it to me. Like, you don't get what I just, you know. But I guess that the moral of the stories they don't get, that's, that's the thing. Yeah, it's just, I wonder about. legions going off to war in armor and stuff and how that was met upon return.

You know what I mean? Better than this. Yes. Probably. But maybe not. Maybe not. You're right. I don't know.

I don't, I'll tell you the other thing I think that makes women worse at this. And how it pertains to this thing. Okay. They got, they have something in their head they want to accomplish. You know what I mean? Like, if you ever talk to a woman and they'll go, they'll go, they'll say something like,

we got to take the trash cans in because Wednesday's trash day and you'll go, look, we're out of town. That's the least of our worries. It's not, neither here or there. They can stay out front for a week until we get back and they'll pause and go, but what about those trash cans? That's not a thing. Right now we need to find our passports. We can't leave until we find our passports. Yeah, but the trash cans.

You know what I mean? Like they'll get on to something. No, they're in it. They're in it. And they're in it. Ain't no coming out of it. Right. So she had something she needed me to do.

She was in it. You know what I mean? It's an anxiety thing too, right? Yes. And all the attempts of sympathy were falling on deaf ears because she was in it. Yeah. Yeah, they're overridden. Yeah.

Because they're in it. You know what I mean? Yeah. Yeah. And I can be in it. but I can also just drop at the moment you go, here's what I did today. Right.

You can shift right from one to the next and focus and get out of it. Yeah. So it's not really a lack of empathy. It's more just in it. Like here's what I care about. Yeah. And I mean, I'm guessing did you today pick up right where you left off another, you know, seven, 10 hour a day coming up?

Yeah. It just got up and, yeah, that's just got up and worked. You know what I mean? I just finished 11 hours. But interestingly, I bring back from my experience here with some reports for you. One is that dentistry has some advances, as it turns out. They've got some things going on there, including a new product that I heard about today that when you have an early cavity, they apply this stuff on it. and no more drilling.

What? Yes. How's that work? I don't know, but it sort of pulls in the hydroxy appetite they're explaining to me, but it's not important. What's important is they're trying to advance in dentistry. And they made the point. They go, they go, you know, back in the 1600s,

if you had something wrong, they'd just cut out a piece of your body. They'd just chop it off, whatever it is. Because dentistry's been doing that ever since. That's what dentistry does. You got a hole if I can drill it out or cut it off or take the tooth out. And I thought, oh, my God, Adams made this point for 100 years. Yeah, I forgot that I used to constantly complain that there was no advancement in dentistry. That was my early.

By the way, I've had it happen where, like, I remember once. The advance is really just when you go, give me the gas. you know, just knock me out. But I remember once where I was talking to Dennis, I was like, just give me the gas. And he's like, yeah, you don't need the gas. I go, I know I don't need it, but give it to me. He goes, he goes, like, I had a 12-year-old girl in here and I did the same procedure with no gas.

And I'm like, okay, I get it. She's tough. I'm not, it's not a competition. Do you have gas? Yes. Give it to me because I don't want to experience this or like to experience as little of it is humanly possible. That's so funny.

Yelling at the dentist. Give me the gas. Give me the gas. It doesn't work. I mean, the nitrous oxide is, is awesome stuff. I've never had it.

It's, well, it's about the same as the Propofal sort of being put under kind of thing. Prophal is wham. Well, Propovol is wham.

This is more of a drifting into twilight than a kind of a, you know, it's a toggle. It's not a toggle switch. It's a dimmer switch. Oh, interesting. Toggles on or off, and this is kind of dimming, you know, just sort of a dimming, right. Yeah. All right.

So good. You met anybody with a, you met anybody with a true photographic memory before? Like true. Like you can show him 20 pages and he can go, I go read from page 210, he just reads from it

in his head. No, I have Andrew wrote Mike August because we had our he told him we're landing at the wrong time yesterday and that's the greatest we've decided Andrew that Mike has

hypovigilance Adam has hypervigilance at least I decided this and Mike has hypovigilance he doesn't not aware of stuff doesn't care doesn't sweat it can't be can't learn because there's no acknowledgement of

anything, including, you know, giving the correct landing times or airlines or anything else. You guys, Andrew, I'm sure you appreciate this and have heard this before, need to adjust your relationship with the information that Mike gives you. No? Yes, Andrew. No, young. Yes, absolutely. Young employee dudes don't like that. They're like, that's not my job. He fucked up. But no, Andrew, and I'll say this to Chuck too, you guys all need an itinerary if I travel because asking Mike what time we land is not the way to go about this. Everyone just needs it emailed to their phone and then we'll have it locked off. All right. So I knew somebody and know somebody named Bob Petrella who was an original Acme guy who I was good friends with who,

has that kind of memory, but it's not that kind of memory. It's the same thing. What's her name from Taxi has it, Andrew? Oh, autobiographical memory. Mary Lou Henner. Mary Lou Henner. Her and Bob have the same. Oh, interesting. Memory. And it's a thing. It's weird to be around, right? I mean, not really. I kind of used it before the smartphone. You know, I would say like, but here's how it works. I would go like, Bob, when did I join Acme comedy? Because I have the exact opposite. I have no idea.

You know, people go, when did you start the man show? Like, I don't know, 99, 2008. I don't remember. Like, you know, you say to me, when did you shoot the pilot for the man show? Couldn't narrow it down to a nine month or one year period. I have no thoughts. But I also realize I have no thoughts about it. I have no, like when people go, are you a baby boomer, millennial or an X or whatever?

I go, I have no idea. I have no idea. And then they go, what about these boomers? I don't know what you're that. I don't know what that is. I don't know how old you are. I'm not interested. You know what else I don't realize?

I never know any of the streets around where I live. any of the small streets. And including and on occasion my own address. I have deemed it unimportant for some reason. I always know how to get home. I always know where I am. And I don't know the name of the street, but I know exactly where I'm going, like all the time.

And I've just decided that birthdays and just stuff like I just stuff I don't need to know. And then I know tons of really specific. car stuff and building stuff and blah, blah, blah stuff. But anyway, they, I would say to Bob, when did I join Acme? And he'd go, you join on a Tuesday in November? And it was the 22nd because I remember the Steelers were on Monday night football, the Monday night before and they're playing Cincinnati. And then the next day, that's the day I met you.

So that would have been 22nd November, Tuesday, 1989. That's what they do. Now, they connect it to something all the time. So this guy, Bob, loved Pittsburgh football. So he always go, like, Steelers were playing the Raiders. And that was a week before, and this was two days after that. Wow. But they grab an event, they break down the event a little bit,

And they can tell you the day and the date that you join their improv troupe year, years down the road. Yeah. And they can do it with almost anything. Yeah. Listen, I had a weird conversation with Mary Lou Henner where I was 30 years hence. And I go, and I just remember I was super depressed one time in New England when I was this summer in New England. And I was watching her, I don't know why I remember this, on David Letter. David Letterman was sitting in for Johnny Carson.

Oh, wow. On the Tonight Show. And she was the guest. And he was sort of slobbering over her. And I was like, yeah, well, what was that like? She was, that was a Thursday. It was, you know, August, 1979. And I was wearing a white dress with red.

And I was like, yeah, I remember a white dress. I was like, oh, my God. It's so weird. I guess it's, I mean, again, you're on a tonight show you kind of remember what you did. I mean, you and I've done Letterman twice. Yeah. And if you said to me, what year did you do it twice? I'd be 90.

I'm going to guess, 99 in like 2004 or something. I don't know. I forget about one month. You and I did Conan O'Brien in New York City. I have no idea when that was. What we were wearing. Are you kidding me? No.

But the question. is why, and for me, I have deemed it not practical to remember. Like, it's not going to benefit me. Well, this guy who I brought up was interesting. He's orthopedic surgery, he's medical researcher, he has patents, he has this, is that. And I go, because he was talking about some high-level biochemistry, and I go, where'd you go, what did you study on graduate? He goes, I left college after a year and a half went to medical school. And I was like, what? And he goes, yeah, I have genuine photograph memory.

He goes, you know, give me 20 pages. I can read straight out of you name any page. I can read straight from the page. And I said to him, I go, you know, the only time I have seen that kind of photographic memory is A, in people of Hungarian descent. I've noticed it to Hungarian. It goes, yep, I'm Italian, but I've hungarian. Garean descent.

Interesting. And I go, and the other thing I've noticed is when I've seen stuff like this before, A.B. Blood type. He goes, I'm A.B. Blood type. Interesting. Isn't that interesting? Letterman will be 21 years ago tomorrow. That's weird.

Yeah. That's weird. Yeah. That's weird. And so it was 05 and 99. So it's close. Hungarians are talkers, and we've talked about this before. And my grandfather spoke, was Hungarian, and he loved to tell stories.

And he would tell stories and stories and stories, you know. He loved making up stories and telling stories. And then I think early on there were a lot of playwrights and people like that. There were Hungarian. He was a screenwriter. of sorts. Yeah. No, I said playwrights, but yeah. Yeah. He, well, no, that's what I'm saying. That's what he did.

He came here as a playwright and then ended up writing, you know, television and movies and stuff like that. But there was a whole network of Hungarians who were here who took him in, basically. And they all sort of collaborated and had a group and sort of sort of, sort of, the way the social fabric used to work, you know. He was taken in and they give him some money and they help him out. They give him a place to stay, whatever. And there was a network of Hungarians. And the guy who wrote, the guy who did Flipper and Channel Ben,

you remember those shows? Of course. His name was Ivan Trowers, I think. I can't remember how he pronounced trowers, but Ivan, you know, obviously not a Midwest. Remembering weird stuff. Yeah, so they all, and his brother, my grandfather's brother, Baila, was like I celebrated playwright in Hungary. So they love, and I looked it up once. I don't mean looked it up, but I just mean I looked into it once and they said Hungarians are like they communicate.

They're supposed to have the one of the two the two hardest languages in the world, at least I guess in the Western world, because I can't imagine Chinese is much easier or Korean, but they say Finnish and Hungarian. Those are the two rough ones. When you hear Hungarians speak, you don't know that they're not making up a language. It sounds made up.

Other languages, you pick up bits and pieces of things, you know, like you think, oh, I know that word or I know a version of that word. Hungarian, nothing, man. If you, Dawson, Andrew, if you find, I don't know, go on the internet and just find a guy speaking Hungarian, you'll go,

I have no idea what he's saying. I mean, you'll do that with a lot of languages, but like I said, in German, Spanish, Italian, you kind of pick up little bits and pieces of things, French. You'll pick up little bits and pieces. Yeah, yeah.

You won't pick up anything in Hungarian. And it has a sound to it that is sort of unsexy. Can you? Like it doesn't sound cool or sexy or, you know, it doesn't sound like Italian or Spanish or something. Right. No romance. No romance at all. It just sounds weird and it sounds gibberishy.

I know if we can play some Hungarian. Come on now. Play some Hungarian. We're going to take, we'll do that for a second. And it has a weird, kind of look in, I'll see, I'll see, I'll tell you, Chuck. Phineas and Ferb. Phineas and Ferb is a funny cartoon. and Phineas and Furb, the main guy, the main villain guy speaks in an accent, it's Hungarian.

Doofen Schmertz. Doof and Schmertz, who's the guy created the show. But when I listen to that guy talk, I'm like, that's a Hungarian accent. Wow. Which is kind of, it makes it sound crazy versus the German accent, even the Japanese or the Italian or Spanish. All right, we got Hungarian speaking, but then find me Doof and Schmertz. Thanks.

Doof and Schmerts sounds made up too. I'm... I'm not really... I'm not really... ...tunned the people about... When... when he said,

that I'm, I'm again and where, and from... and how... And I'm... ...the first question, is that, that... ...who's... ...who...

...that... ...that... that's in Kosovo, then all of them and that's it's very that's very I'd want to

to say that this is a very good and a very kind of with a hithelan lehettling

and and I'd very I'd like here. If I were going to make a movie about aliens

landings, on earth, that is how I would have them speak. Right. Now, she probably said, I'm going to the supermarket to buy water and give it to my kids, and there's not one word that you can understand in that whole thing. It's a little bit sort of Slavic, Russian-y sort of ish kind of stuff, but then it kind of goes away from that. It's an unknowable language.

And then Dufant Schmertz. Now, that guy who does the voice also created it. because I was speaking to, who was it, was it Charlotte Ray about it, actress who's on it? And I said, that guy's Hungarian. I know that guy's doing a Hungarian accent. Because it's not German. It's different.

It's not Italian. And now you've got to tell me if the creator of Phineas and Fur, which is a funny cartoon, which, by the way, Dorothe Explores a piece of shit, and, you know, Wow, Wow, Wob's a piece of shit. Like, I will point out the shitty cartoons, and I will also point out the good one, because the good ones are creative and interesting and funny. And the other ones are just a complete, utter cop-out. Just a fucking, full-on bullshit cop-out.

Door to Explororer's a piece of shit. But this is your, you've been talking about this literally as long as I've known you. And I'm wondering, you always framed it as an argument we had with her mom, your mom. All right, hold on, we'll play it. Well, we'll see. Great work, Ferb. These suits will help us build a continuous carnival ride through the whole city. How much fun is that?

Nothing is more fun. All right. Chuck, we need our character talking, you know. I mean, to make the point. I mean, he did fire his ray gun in a very Hungarian kind of way. Hey, this isn't Chuck's fault. This is my fault. I typed in Dr. Dufant Shorts or whatever the fuck his name is.

And that's the first thing that came up. All right. Also, we can't test it because Drew's on Zoom too. Oh, okay. It's tricky. Reasonable? Difficult. Yes, go ahead, Drew.

We're going to say something? Well, you find a better clip. That you've framed, you've talked about this for long time, but you usually framed it as a, a fight you had with your mom. Yeah, I don't want to retell it, but... No, no, but I just don't know if it's... I'm not going to retell it. I'm just saying...

Not everything is in the eye of the beholder. I don't like beauties in the eye of the holder. I'll tell you, I'll decide what's beautiful. Well, no, you're not... That's true, but you're not even... Not even saying that so much as there's a difference between what's good and what's not good. And that exists independent of your opinion, of anybody else's opinion.

Or the popular opinion. And it's a piece of shit, and it's a cop out. and it makes kids dumber. And so does wow-wow-wobsy. But there are good examples of like funny cartoons that you could watch with your kids and your kids would enjoy them on some level and then you'd enjoy it on another level.

All right, we'll take a quick break. Be right back with Dr. Dufant Schmertz right after this. Home serve. Owning a home is amazing until the second. It's not one minute.

And look, he's got the, he's got two coffees, one of which, for sure, is not for me. It's not mine because mine's... All right. We got it. Yeah, it's not doing German. It's doing something. And I think it's Hungarian.

But now you've got to find out, is the creator have any history? It's background. because that's what I was saying to Caroline Ray. But she didn't know the answer. She just said, you want to do a voice on that show? I said, oh, yeah. I do.

Is she on the show? That's what I was saying, yeah. Well, you said Charlotte Ray. I was like, huh, who's Charlotte? Oh, wait. When I say Charlotte, Caroline, right? Very beginning. Now you said Caroline Ray.

My mistake. Caroline and Charlotte. Yes. God, we've known Caroline Ray a long time. certainly have yeah I every time I see her

she asked me what my sign is and then she says she knew it yeah do you let her know that that's not the first time she's asked that question I don't you know who am I

let them indulge sorry Chuck what do you got so the creator's name is Dan Paven Pavenmeyer he's the one that voice do and Schmertz and I can't find his ethnic background, but he was born in California and raised in Mobile, Alabama. Wow. Pavinmeier. Hmm. I wonder, I'm going to see what kind of name

Pavenmire is. And also maybe his mom's Hungarian or something. Right. Well, interesting. I mean, it's, it's, um, what you know what's odd to me is that he sounds a little bit like some of the voices that Hans Conrad used to do. Yes. It was, weirdly, you bought his house. Yeah, I did buy. I did buy Hans Conry's house. You know what I'm talking about?

He would do that kind of stuff a little bit. Yes, execution, dear boy. Yes, yes. Does Andrew know who Hans Conrad is? Uh-oh. Andrew, Hans Conrad? 10,000 figures of Dr. Truillicker? He was a weird old,

guy who did tons of stuff. I guess if you were to say Hans Conrad, you would say, I love Lucy. Like being the professor. Did he do like old school Disney movies? Yes, he did Captain Hook. That's, yeah, that's, yeah, just

that's where I know from. Tons of voiceover stuff. He did a ton of Rocky and Bullwinkle style stuff. He did a lot of on camera stuff. A lot of on camera. But he did, his famous thing, the only Dr. Seuss movie. He was the star.

It was called the 10,000 fingers of Dr. Terwilliker. That was a Dr. Seuss movie? I just found that out recently. And apparently it was a total failure. But it was one of the odd, and think about the environments and the hats with the hands on and stuff now. When you think about it, it's like,

oh, yeah, that is Dr. Seuss-esque. Bigger bust than digger? Yeah, he was an interesting old cat and Who I like to paper over shit He doesn't know how to explain himself Adam bought his house and his house was a classic Hollywood Hollywood land landmark really And the guy had just covered it in stucco and caught his cheese and paint

No, he just paint everything white No, he did that because he collected Asian art. And he was living in a big Spanish house with a bunch of Asian art. So he painted the frescoes and everything white to display his Asian art. And I remember I bought the house from his kids. And they left behind this giant Asian sculptural. in the, I don't know, it was like in the yard? Well, yeah, I'm trying to think of the word for yard,

but it was in a sort of level terrace or something. And I said, you guys got to get rid of this. You got to come get it, you know? Oh, I remember. Yeah, we're trying to, but we can't. I kept telling them to come get it, and they couldn't do it. And I said, I'm going to bust that thing up with a sledgehammer and just throw it away if you don't come get it.

And they're like, it's priceless. You know, you can't do that. And I basically just went, look, you got until Friday, I'm just going to bust it up with the sledgehammer and chuck at the dumpster. And they magically just came and got it, which is, but it's that thing. It drives me nuts when people do that. Like they go, I can't do this. I can't do it.

I can't do it. Then you go, I'm going to bust it up, throw it away. They go, all right, I'll be there. You know what I mean? Like what I, it bothers me. It bothers me when people have multiple modes. it bothers me, it bothers me. I don't know why.

Why is it bothered me so much when people have this sort of like, here's the way I treat your stuff, here's the way I treat my stuff. I guess it's what bothers me about living in L.A. It's like here's the way you treat taxpayers, and here's the way you treat illegals with no money. You know what I mean? Well, also you always say when somebody says, you know, oh, sure, I keep forgetting.

And you say, you've said a million times. If I offer you $10,000 to get it done, it'd be done. Right. But it's not a priority for you. It's when people can't prioritize. Well, it's not even really, yes, I know what you're saying because I've said, but it's not like I'm going to pay you $10,000 to take the trash out. It's like it's, it's, it's what you're saying is, is I go, you know, they go, I keep forgetting to shut the light or I keep forgetting to take the garbage out. I go, what if I gave you $10,000?

at the end of the month, but if I found the light on one time, and it all magically gets fixed. Yeah. Which, and then you have to think, what are you saying about yourself? Mm. You know what I mean? Mm-hmm. That you need to be bribed to do basic stuff.

Essentially, that's what you're saying, right? Yeah, yeah. To prioritize things that should already be, at least on your radar. Well, if there's... not, you were told to put them on your radar, but you won't put them on your radar. And it's more of a, again... This is why your daughter keeps repeating for you to go fill out the paperwork, because she doesn't think you're, you're, she thinks you're like everybody else, frankly.

Well, she's got something to base it off of. I can be, I can get an email and ignore it for five days, for sure, because I just get a lot of that. But also, I'm always traveling. I'm always doing something. And I'm like working, you know. It's not, I'm not sitting around trying to figure out how to accommodate everybody. I'm preparing for the next whatever it is, whatever it is I'm doing, you know. And I'm also not like somebody who's more like, like Jimmy.

Jimmy's a kind of guy who could work and be real dutiful about returning emails. Yeah. I'm like, fuck this. I'm going to be on Gutfeld in two hours, and I'm going to work on some shit that I want to use on Gutfeld. And I'm not returning your email in that period of time kind of thing. You know what I mean? Or whatever it is, I just give myself that latitude, I guess you'd call it. Yeah.

Yeah. I mean, yeah. I mean, you're not irresponsible. That's by any means. Hey, speaking of irresponsible. But I can have irresponsible moments is what I'm saying. And isn't that leftover from your past? Isn't that?

And I think people... It's just a kind of a... If you travel a lot and you work a lot and you have a job where you're thinking about stuff a lot, then some stuff will fall through the credits. Oh, for sure. But you have to be careful that you don't get a sense of entitlement. Like, I'm working so hard. I'm entitled to forget a few things, that kind of thing.

Right. I'm entitled to take my time with this. People go sideways with that kind of thinking, too. We never talk about that, but I've seen that a lot. All right. I work so hard for this hospital, and now they're accusing me of blah, blah, blah, okay, all right, well, be careful. What are we saying? Well, another thing I've known, I've knows, here's what I know, you know, I've worked so hard for this hospital.

We have constructed a society where you cannot accrue. any points. Oh, for sure. So you could be a champion of women's causes for three decades and then just say one thing into a microphone and they will banish you. Yeah. You, it's basically, it's like you could pay a million dollars a year in taxes for the last 30 years and miss two years and be in jail.

Oh, you know what I mean? Like that, that's how we roll. You could do anything. Why is that, though? Why? I don't, I don't understand that. I don't like every time I. Reputation counts for nothing.

Right. Reputation counts for nothing. You can't accrue. Also, there's no like, hey, the guy has been, you know, paying the mortgage on the big house and paying everyone's vacations and paying for everyone's health care and paying for everyone's car and paying something. It's okay to cut that guy slack. you know, cut them a little slack once every 23 years. You know what I mean?

Of just paying for everything all the time. Nope. And doing everything. No. Now, we're right back. Everything is a new day. Everything's even. I'll tell you what it is.

It's the same as credit. Every single time there's something where it's like, I got to get a construction loan or whatever. It's always like, I have the same conversation. They're not doing it for under 25%. there's no such thing as right now. I go, how about the millions and millions of dollars of real estate over the decades?

How about it? Like they don't recognize, you know, they don't care. All they know is it's across the board. It's 25% down with a thing, and they're not going to lend it. And thus, you know, because you still owe money on the land,

they're only going to lend up to the price of what you owe and you have to deduct. And it's like, what about the guy who's done millions and millions and millions of property commercial and warehouses and residential, you know, land. What about that guy? Now, same. You don't get, no, you don't get anything.

Credit. There's nothing. There is no, there is. It's a new day. There is. Every day is a new day. For me, there's 30 years of uninterrupted payments on mortgages and second whatever's and double, whatever, whatever it is.

And if you gave me a steno pad in two hours, I could probably write all the land and all the warehouses and all the homes and all the construction loans. And I could write it all out, and I would still miss a few. And then if you added it up, it'd be into the millions and millions of dollars. And if I go in to try to get a loan, there's no different than anybody else.

100%. But that's how it works. that's how it works with family. Right. This is where we started. You're just, well, you're just at zero. I mean, it's sort of like saying, I drove for 30 years, I never had an accident,

never got a problem, never got a ticket. I was like, well, now you're getting a DUI. And that's it. You know what I mean? Like, now you could go, well, at least that's justified. But I'm saying the whole world is sort of, it's not what have you done for me lately, is what have you done for me today?

Right now. There is no, we're taking your word for anything. Well, it's just, you can't accrue any goodwill. That's what I was going to say about the hurricane that hit Los Angeles, right? Hurricane, you got a hurricane? Hurricane, hurricane. Yeah, it didn't even drizzle. Mike told me it was pouring.

When we were in Philly, he was to explain how it was pouring. And L.A. It was pouring everywhere. And of course, what do I do? I go, oh shit, the roof on the warehouse. Shit, that always leaks. God damn. I wonder what kind of shape that way. I get off the plane, everything's dry.

Why? But again, who's fault is that, everybody? Yours. That's mine, because Mike told me stuff and that I listened. But it's a lesson for all of us not to, we must stop believing social media in the press. Just must. To be fair to me, Mike has a wife who's back home, who I assume is on the phone with him, going, it's pouring here.

That's what I picture. But he told me it was pouring. And I was, I was thinking about literally my condo and my warehouse, which have kind of suspect roofs. And I was like, uh, I wonder if that skylights holding up. I wonder that skylights all. And if I got home is nothing. Ha!

Ha! All right, Dr. Strudeldorf. You can see me in Atlanta. That'll be Atlanta, Georgia. That is October 30th through the 1st of November. He'll them, four shows over there. I'll be in Bellflower, I'll be in Napa, Petaluma. Mystic Theater.

So, until next time, I'm going to Dr. Drew saying, Mahalo. In this life, you can't win. When the world gets you down. No.
