Starting point is 00:00:00 Welcome back to the Adam and Dr. Drew Show Classics. I'm your host Big Brother Jake, host of the Big Brother Jake podcast, and we've got a great one for you today. First up, episode 507 titled Bachelor Party that aired on May 2nd, 2017. Adam and Dr. Drew discuss bachelor parties and taking time off for them, the pacification of America and the obsession of youth and growing old. Get off my lawn and take a listen. All right, let me bridge over to the corality, the corralling reality you'd like to do.
Starting point is 00:00:42 And before the mics heated up, you and I were talking about, we were talking about Gary taking an Extendo bachelor party and how we would not know how to ask our bosses for things like that during the week, right? Tell me about it. Well, to be a little clearer about it, not know how to ask our bosses. I've had one modality my entire life,
Starting point is 00:01:03 which is when is this thing? I do it all day every day There's a car race coming up. When is it? What day is it? And then the pause and then I go I can't I got to Work that day and then move on or Resuppose to oh, I got to talk to or a version see there's there's versions I I did this my whole life and I still do it my whole life, which is what day is it? It's Friday Saturday Sunday Okay, Fridays out. I gotta work Friday Sunday Saturday Sunday, I think I can get there. Mm-hmm. I might be What's going on Friday night? Cuz if I can catch a flight Friday night after work then I can get there now the
Starting point is 00:01:42 About the only shaving on that would be is I might say maybe I can get out an hour early on Friday and get over to the airport or whatever it is, but even that would be not a discussion I would have. So I wouldn't not dream of bringing this up with the boss. I would not discuss it because I wouldn't dream of it wouldn't come up to come up. Well, and then now that we're sort of on our own, we're, you know, I couldn't get away from my practice, you know, because no one else could, you know, I didn't have anybody replace what I was doing. I was sort of where the buck stopped just the way you are in this business.
Starting point is 00:02:17 And so you can't, there's no one to talk to about that. You just can't go. I get it's a new world order and people work weekends and whatever and the dates and the times and we're not bound to the nine to five whatever anymore. I'm simply saying this. Bachelor parties don't need to be four days. They used to be one day and when Max Padoff was saying to me how they get to be four days, I said to him that's when this started. They got four days because it could be four days. Right right no one would ever You'd be insane to say to your boss. I need Thursday off Friday off for the bachelor party whatever whatever day off
Starting point is 00:02:52 It would never come up. So about these new guys. It's not hold on come on now. It's not doable right? No, it wouldn't be a conversation. I do wouldn't occur to me. That's the thing Okay, but can I say this? Yeah, it wouldn't occur to me. That's the thing. Okay, but can I say this? Yeah, it wouldn't occur to you X amount of years ago getting back to our transgendered bathroom to have a conversation about the rights of transgendered people or gay People getting married or whatever is going on in our society. So you're saying it's a different time. I Don't I don't say There's nothing wrong with Gary Gary happens to be 20 years younger than me. That's what's wrong with Gary. Okay, it's not He stands out amongst you're not putting it as a value judgment on him. I got it. No, you it's like putting a value judgment
Starting point is 00:03:36 Talking to my kids about gay couples and whatever. It's just it's a sign of times now. Hold on It will hold you back Right that I'm not making Now hold on. It will hold you back. Right. That's what he said. But I'm not making a value judgment. But that's what you said. He goes, that's why they will fail. You said something like that. No, they won't.
Starting point is 00:03:51 I said to my son the other day. You said this to me though today. You said something like, that's why they won't progress or something. Well, if you have a motor, you will progress. If the whole deal is chillax and enjoy the concert, then you won't. And your son, you said your son? I said, look, super simple. It's super simple. I don't care about college. I don't care about anything else. You are going to go out in the world with a bunch of super soft pussies. All you have
Starting point is 00:04:15 to be is a little bit hard and have a little bit of a motor and you'll conquer, you'll conquer everything. So in other words, our entire country has become like a giant radio station. And it doesn't mean there's anything wrong with anybody because it's a new world order. Do you see what I'm saying? I do. And what I said was, what I was thinking was, huh, now you've been complaining about all this anti-social, oppositional defiance stuff in your people that you're attracted to or have in your people that you're attracted to or have in your life. And it occurs to me that a lot of what we're talking about here is the relationship
Starting point is 00:04:50 with authority and the relationship with becoming an authority. Both are things that people with oppositional defiance have real trouble with. They don't really want to become that authority person because they hate it They hate it. And so when so automatically they're gonna be thinking what kind of do to get around this authority because authority sucks That's you know, the antisocial-obstitutional defiance as opposed to hey, that's just to do with a job. How can I? Let me just talk to it and figure out how we can get both of our needs met now It's an authority, bad. And then I have a bigger sort of thing. I don't know if I mentioned to you last week,
Starting point is 00:05:29 I think it's somewhat of a result of all of our conversations, which I'm beginning to think, did I talk to you about this about sort of an archetype that we've been following in this country? I think I mentioned it, but I don't know. Well, maybe off the air. I don't know if it's on the air. It's just not a very,
Starting point is 00:05:42 it's not yet a really developed notion. I need to study it and think about it more. I kind of feel like we were in this country, a hero archetype into the Second World War, certainly. We sort of thought of ourselves in a country as sort of heroic archetype. We bail out other people in countries when things are going, when evil is raining down upon them. other people in countries when things are going when evil but raining down if you were to look upon the Prevailing psychological archetype that this country had at the time we take in the international we take in the poor we take in the
Starting point is 00:06:14 Refugees we take we go save sort of a heroic archetype. Would you say? somewhere about 1965 we decided oh well that sucks. We're the Antihero We're the antihero. We're the not that guy. We're going to make, I remember the student body president was some screw, everything was a screwball. Everything was some sort of antisocial, sociopath was elevated. Rockstars, those are our heroes.
Starting point is 00:06:37 Criminals, those are our heroes. Godfather. And so, I think we are still living in that weird archetype of rejecting everything of a authoritative sort of or authoritarian Certainly and and we're in the kind of the tail end of that Sort of burning out on it. Let me be clear here because I think I can fix all this in your brain Okay. All right, you ready? Yeah. I'm gonna make all the dots connect. You listening Max Patta? Before you do it, before you do it, do you, do you hear me?
Starting point is 00:07:10 Does it make sense? Yeah. Is it, am I on to something? You're on? I look, I've said many times, you know, when you say like, you know, it's my thing about these horrible Saturday morning cartoons. They entertain seven-year-olds and and or I always say retarded adults because when they say oh he's 44 he has a mentality of a seven-year-old then you go okay that's severe retardation. Alright, I get it. Kids used to be kids and kids were sort of meant to be seen and not heard. They didn't really
Starting point is 00:07:43 get a vote. They literally didn't get a vote until you became an adult in this country. And we didn't listen to you. We were adults, you're the kids, you were the ones who didn't know anything. And we're gonna smoke in the car with you in the backseat, and we're gonna listen to Les Brown and his band of renown,
Starting point is 00:08:02 not your new pop music, the Archies or whatever it is. We don't listen to that. I'm the adult. I own this car. This is my car. It's my radio station. And my radio, and when you're older, you can get your own car, listen to what you want. Right now, you listen to what I want. All right. So those were kids. What decade are we talking about there? 50s, 60s, 70s? Historically, it's always been you're the kid, I'm the adult. But it's meant different things. I would argue that that was particularly that way in the 50s, 60s, and early 70s.
Starting point is 00:08:32 No, and the 1850s are probably more than that in the 1950s. Because I think then it was like, hey man, I'm worried about you, you need to survive. We're all trying to survive here, that kind of thing. Well, I mean, it was like, I don't know, they're on a form and they told the kid to get up at six and go milk something No, we're we're not yeah, but you're the kid on the adult I tell you what to do or what not to do and you don't ever and to be fair again I'm really trying to refine this in the 56th and 70th the adult declaring all that was sort of a prick sort of an asshole Yeah, and that may have been it wasn't a prick or an asshole
Starting point is 00:09:05 Was just that was our relationship. No, no, and you're the child sort of like madmen We were too inflated from the victories of the Second World War or something. We felt too good about ourselves Well, maybe there was an element of that but in and either way there was an adult I get it There was a child but I get I'm trying to really drill it down so because I know where you're going. Let me fucking finish and maybe we could get to this. They had adults, they had children. Really children. And they acted like children, we act like adults and at some point we decided to be obsessed with youth and it could have been you know hey what's the prime demo 18 to 34, 18 to 30, young young young. You talk to people all the time and you'll go, oh that guy's got five million viewers but he's only got 800,000 in the
Starting point is 00:09:49 demo yeah and you go what about the demo they go that's all they care about the demo it's only camera like 41 year old dudes don't have money to buy out he's like they just care about the demo they just care about the demo remember the demo then was starting to buy records and all these crazy new technologies and things but we started focusing on the demo and then I started noticing it some years ago when it's like just sitting in a sports bar in Detroit. Why don't we listen to Rihanna? When did all this come in? When did we need... then being old became... it became a put-down. You know, we call somebody old, it's like calling them fat or
Starting point is 00:10:22 dumb or something or maybe the old worse or worse And it was never the good part of the establishment man. Yeah. No, I'm saying now then The point is is we turned it to youth and we start turning everything to you Yeah, every commercial to youth all the music to youth everything was about accommodating The youth and wanting to know what the fresh hot was about accommodating the youth and wanting to know what the fresh hot 17, 18, 19 year old pop star wanted. And then we started curtailing society toward the youth. And so when you talked to what just read your thing, no, no, no, I keep like looking down and flapping
Starting point is 00:10:58 around. No, no, it's actually because I'm deep in thought. I'm thinking about so finish up please. All right. Why don't you get up? I have I have I have a thing when I'm actually thinking about something. So finish up, please. Alright. Well, I know you get up. I have a thing when I'm thinking. Alright. So, it was all about youth. Well, youth, they're stupid. This thing is like, oh, I have so much to learn from my kids. Are these blowhard,
Starting point is 00:11:18 you should see these blowhard actresses and actors that get up there and it's like, I learned what courage was by looking into the eyes of my 18-month-old daughter. And it's like, I learned what courage was by looking into the eyes of my 18 month old daughter. And it's like, you didn't learn shit about courage. I don't learn anything from my kids.

Drew show classics up next is episode 649 titled I'm gross because you're stupid which aired on August 21st of 2017. Adam and Dr. Drew have a deep discussion on soaps, fragrances, and hygiene. I really can't get down with Adam's point of view,
Starting point is 00:12:55 but listen for yourself. The difference between the two of us is, I got out of the swimming pool the other night, like Lynette's like, you're gonna hit the shower and I'm like I already did just like you went in the pool like that's the same as that's that's my shower that's it you don't get you can't convince me that you get any cleaner than in the pool. I thought that way in my hair turned green. Oh really well it's different though the pools are much better cared for we got a little salt water in there you know it's no big deal I don are much better cared for. We got a little salt water in there, you know
Starting point is 00:13:25 It's no big deal. I don't feel like I get any cleaner than being in and out of the pool soaking in the pool How come I ask it any cleaner than being in the pool and everyone's it's the funniest thing with all these kids today I noticed it with my Sonny or an Italian friend. It's like Could you imagine being 11 years old? Getting out of the pool after playing in the pool for an hour and going, oh, I got a shower. Like they go hit the shower.
Starting point is 00:13:49 And yet after football practice, they don't. No, they don't. Which is crazy. There is a weird thing. Isn't that weird? Well, it's not weird. What happened was is Procter & Gamble did a great job on everyone's ass except for mine, but they did a great job.
Starting point is 00:14:08 Which is too hairy? Yeah. No, they're psyche, dude. Which is they did this great thing, which is they first decided that everything that sort of lives on your body is gross. Like you're gross. You're like when I, they don't say say when I tell people I don't really shower I just say rinse off right you don't use soap. No, they don't go. I disagree they go
Starting point is 00:14:32 Gross that is so gross like you must smell weird like what's growing on you, but it's like you don't realize Mental midget you have been brainwashed by fucking Procter and Gamble. I'm not stupid. You are. I understand that all shampoo is exactly the same, and you probably shouldn't be using it. And I know that all soap is the same. You are the stupid one who's duped by the scent in the bottle and made up words.
Starting point is 00:15:00 This says, Pro-V Vitamin 8 with Nutriis. Hey, retard, they're making up words. This says Pro V Vitamin 8 with Nutriis. Hey, retard, they're making up words and selling them the Suave Bottles 279. You're paying 14.21 because they made up a word called Pro Nutriis. Yeah, and a V, and it made a cool color. And you're saying I'm gross because I'm not stupid? There must be some predilection in the human to be disgusted by body stuff, including whatever secretions or oils are on our bodies.
Starting point is 00:15:30 We know so much natural disgust for that and they're just playing on that. Because people react emotionally, like, oh, it's disgusting. Oh, oh, bleh. And I go, and they go, well, what do you do in the shower? I go, I just rinse off. What about soap? No, I don't use soap. Whoa.
Starting point is 00:15:47 Oh. Oh. Oh. If I don't eat a bar of soap every day, I fucking smell like an ass, man. I can't. And then they start getting other people involved. Sherry, come here.
Starting point is 00:16:00 He doesn't use soap. Yeah, I don't use soap. Oh. It's gross. And then what about shampoo? Don't use soap. Yeah, don't use soap. Oh Gross and then what about shampoo don't use shampoo? Listen retards you guys use shampoo you strip away whatever supposed to be in your hair and then you use conditioner. Yeah To chalk up two points for Procter & Gamble in the tarred competition They don't get any of my money I don't use shampoo I don't use a fucking bottle of shampoo in 20 years I won't use one I
Starting point is 00:16:31 won't go through a bottle of shampoo I don't use any of that shit and it's gross whatever no it's not your body your body will regulate your body will figure it out if you want to get into this thing where you're scrubbing constantly, your body's going to start producing more oil or more sebum or whatever it needs to produce that you're scrubbing away. Anybody's skin, like their face that are working and scrubbing and scrubbing, look, when I was in high school, I was like, get the alcohol, get the pads, get the alcohol in the pads, scrub that oil away.
Starting point is 00:17:04 You got that excess oil, it's around the bridge of your nose, you have that oil in the pad scrub that oil away. You got that excess oil It's around the bridge. You know you have that oil in the nose. That's your t-zone, man That's an oily tease combination skin with an oily t-zone man get that oil going to get that pad scrub scrub it scrub away What the fuck did that do drew did nothing scrubbing just produces more? That's not like oh the oil went away Scrubbing just produces more. It's not like, oh, the oil went away. Scrubbed it away. Nobody's secreting it. It's not an oil slick. It could drop out of Valdez. It's producing it. It's coming from below. What is all this fucking notion and who is this and what the
Starting point is 00:17:39 fuck? I don't think shampoo is good for you. I don't think you need shampoo. I don't think you need to do anything but rinse your shit off. That's it. Now, I don't even use hot water. I used to use hot water. Now it's just cold water. Whatever's on you, it's on you. Have you seen that guy, the Wim Hat or something? Wim Hoth. Has he seen him? Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:18:04 You've made him aware. Yeah, well I just go cold shower 45 seconds, done. And just about every day, done. Shampoo. Cold showering, I'm an advocate. I am every day. Now let me say this. And it's somehow doing something to my body in a good way. I don't like to brag. You way. I don't like to brag. You know, I don't like to brag. I know that. But I have to.
Starting point is 00:18:30 Yeah, it's your duty. I do not believe that anybody can tell the difference between my hair and my skin, either on my body, on my face, on my head, whatever, because I don't use shampoo and don't use soap and don't use, don't cleanse and don't deep clean and don't do anything ever. I don't use shampoo and don't use soap and don't use, don't cleanse and don't deep clean and don't do anything ever. I don't think there's any difference.
Starting point is 00:18:49 I don't think there's any difference in my appearance whatsoever. There's no way you could tell. You could tell. Now some things are genetic. Yeah, you have no, right, you have no funk and no oil. That's you. That's me. That's you.
Starting point is 00:19:02 And some people may need to tend a little bit. Come on now. I get the funk, but the oil, but the scrubbing of the oil just creates more oil That's that's what I'm saying mop it up, but I don't know scrub it out. I don't I don't think so crazy I'll look everything is genetic. Yeah, is shampoo do anybody any good? some people The majority of people I don't think the majority of people need shampoo. I think they need to rinse themselves off every day I don't think they need to scrub with detergent. There's no way
Starting point is 00:19:29 God nature whoever decided it would be good for us to scrub with detergent your hair every day And you've noticed that the the higher-end shampoos are barely soaps Yeah, the lighter the lighter the more pH balance more. They're not soaps anymore. Well, they're like they're like Yeah, the lighter the lighter the more pH balance more they're not soaps anymore. Well, they're like they're like This one's made with macadam. Right? It's a new kind of a melon. Do you know the macadam? I just know it's it's from New Zealand.

All right, last up for today, we go to episode 781 titled That's Not My Kind Of Music, which aired on March 9th, 2018. Adam elaborates on how he processes people's way of thinking as well as his own. It baffles him. He doesn't understand how some people have the rationale that they do. Listen to how he explains this.
Starting point is 00:22:47 It's an interesting thing Drew, here's an interesting subject. What we should be empathetic and sort of sympathetic and understanding about versus, oh come on, we all have with our spouses and people we work with and stuff like that. Which is, I walked over to the other shop after doing my show. I walked in, there's Phil sleeping on the sofa. And I said, where's Lynette? And they said, she's gone. I said, Whoa, we had a deal. She was taking care of Phil today and I'm working today. And she said, Yeah, she forgot.
Starting point is 00:23:22 Forgot Phil? Left him? Yes. And there's a part of me that went like, oh, come on. And then there's a part of me that went... Jealous. I wish I could do that. Well, there's always a jealous part. But I feel that way when I see corpses. No, there's a part of me that has almost forgot Phil on many occasions where I've just, he's here, he melts into the background. I'm done I'm done I'm rushing I get my car I may do it later on today yeah and
Starting point is 00:23:48 things that I realize are within my possibilities of things I could do like I could do this or I almost did that or one time I did get in the car and like shut the door and someone ran out with Phil I immediately just brush off is okay I could done that yeah I mean? You do a school shooting I don't go well I could have had a bad day. I go no. All right school shootings I have thoughts on that. So you gave Linda the pass what you're saying? Absolute. Absolutely not. No no no no emotional pass I'm not bringing anything up. Okay, but I mean I'm not gonna go home and go Hey, you shouldn't because I could have done that
Starting point is 00:24:29 Anything I could have done for me personally the same way if I see someone doing something and I could do it it becomes nothing if I see someone doing something and I can't do it When I hear people speak multiple languages or play the viola or something like that. I'm very impressed. And in terms of doing, not doing things you could also not do, like, you know, forgetting to shut a door or something. Let's assume it's something you would never do. Do you have any capacity to understand why somebody might have a different sort of set of biological guidelines in their brain that set the standards for their own behavior? I understand that there are pretty big differences between me and many people. My only problem
Starting point is 00:25:21 with people who don't take care of business, so to speak, is if they were insanely consistent about it, and it just didn't happen because it's not really something they're capable of, then no. So I'll give you a perfect example. You ready? Yeah. I said a million years ago when we were in this warehouse, Donnie had an old Bronco, old Ford Bronco, big with a big lift kit on it, like big knobby tires on it and everything.
Starting point is 00:25:53 And the thing just was sort of sitting in the back, it didn't have an engine or transmission, it was kind of a rust bucket. And we found ourselves, because of the way the warehouse sort of laid out, it would sit here in the driveway and have to like someone's moving their car out We'd have to push it, you know push it back and you're doing this like five-point turn to get it out of the way and then someone's pulling their car back and Then pushing it in and we pushed it around for a long time and at some point I said I Would like that Bronco out of the warehouse. Now it's got your warehouse.
Starting point is 00:26:30 I probably just said the warehouse, but yes, my name is on the deed. So I said I would like it out. And I'm not telling you, you have to drag it to your own house. Put it out in the parking lot, put some plastic on it or something. But it's just taking up space, we're pushing around, you're not working on it, you're never working on it. So I'll tell you what, I'll let you park it in my parking lot.
Starting point is 00:26:55 And again, take the bumper, take everything and just throw it in the bed and put some plastic over it, mothball it, put it on the parking lot. Okay. And then I do what I do with most people, is I go, I'm not going to tell you the date it needs to be removed. I'm going to say, how much time do you need, and then you be generous and pad that time, and give us a time, give me a time when you can comfortably take care of this. I've heard a few of these stories over the years. Never turns out good. Never.
Starting point is 00:27:26 Well, you know how it never turns out good? You're hearing the story. Yeah. If it worked out perfectly, you wouldn't hear the story. And then he moved in three days. I think I would. It couldn't be so exceptional. That would be acceptable.
Starting point is 00:27:38 And so he said, two weeks. Two weeks. And I said, OK, two weeks. And then I do what I always do. I'm not going to bother you or harangue you about it. It's two weeks. Okay. Two weeks. And I said, okay, two weeks. And then I do what I always do. I'm not going to bother you or harangue you about it. It's two weeks. Today's the third. That'll be the 17th.
Starting point is 00:27:51 And that'll be that. Can I? We'll move on. Jump in a little. This is just a conversation. Maybe that's your mistake in the sense that you're giving too much trust in the other people's ability to remember the time frame, keep it as a priority, start planning and moving towards that date, unless you were
Starting point is 00:28:09 reminding them, since it's a little more of a priority to you because what's in it for them. Yeah? Look, there are more effective ways to get stuff done. I'm not gonna argue with you. I just like to ask people, what do you need? Tell me what you want. How many times you gotta do that? I don't do it that often. He said two weeks. That's good. I won't bug you. We'll just do it and Two weeks came and went Shocking. It was exactly where it was and I said what's going on and this didn't move it But here's the interesting part and this is the part
Starting point is 00:28:43 You talk about people's ability what they can do what they can't do some people are wired differently so on and so forth i said uh you know i gave you two weeks you didn't do it it's in the same place it was what gives and he said i was busy it was a little more than i reckon for more parts i thought so what are you going to do and i just said what if i said you move in two weeks and you'll get $10,000? Would you have made it happen? He said, absolutely. And I thought, okay.
Starting point is 00:29:10 Well, at least we have an answer that you can do it. It's just you don't do it under normal circumstances. You do it when there's $10,000 at stake. That conversation going on in your head or? No, I said it. And that's how most people are wired. So when you go, hey, but people aren't wired for, oh, they are when they would like to, when there is something there, when there's a carrot.
Starting point is 00:29:33 And then how to go after that? How long was it there for? Oh, it got moved at some point and then junked after that. But the point is this, I have understanding, sympathy, and whatever for the person who literally can't do it. But you don't know many people who literally can't do it. Most people couldn't do it or would not do it for free. If you gave them $100, they might very well do it. If you gave them $1,000, it would get done. If you gave them $1,000, it would get done. If you gave them $10,000, it would get done tomorrow.
Starting point is 00:30:09 So now we all know we can do it. Now we're making a choice. A choice. On whether to do it or not based on what the compensation is. I understand what you're saying and there are people that would 100% agree with you. I unfortunately work in a world of broken motivations and motivation is really what you're talking about here. He's not motivated.
Starting point is 00:30:32 So it ain't going to happen until you will for something for money. Yes. Right. So that's the point. That's why I was advocating that you motivate them by like, Hey, I'm counting on you, dude. I'll tell you. I'm getting that thing done. Right. You got it. You got to get the coach counting on you. That's not
Starting point is 00:30:47 going to work with those people. So my, my thing is, if you're capable of doing something and you forget or don't do it, then that's an issue. But if you're not capable, then I'm not interested. Yeah. All right. See you See, you have a motivational system that includes your scale of justice that no one else has. You know what I'm saying? You agree with that? Yes. No, I have a motivational system that works this way. Did you agree to do this task in this time period or do this task? You mean to you yourself? Did I agree? Yes. And if the answer is yes, then we need no more discussions about carrots. If your scale of justice kicks in and you say I committed to something that's the right thing to do, I'm gonna do it. Most people will have no scale of justice.
Starting point is 00:31:32 It'd be nice if they started and as a society we started to focus on that instead of making excuses for them like a puss like you. No, no, hang on. I actually agree and I just don't know how we operationalize that so much. We start kicking people in the fucking ass. That's how you do it. No, I think the thing goes to kids. But let me hear something about it. Well, yeah, you start kicking kids in the ass. Here's something about it. Yes. All right. That's all for this week.
