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 pussification 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? Well, to be a little clear about it, not not know how to ask our bosses. I've had one modality my entire life, which is when is this thing? I do it all day, every day. There's a car race coming up.
Starting point is 00:01:08 When is it? What day is it? And then a pause, and then I go, oh, I can't. I got to work that day. And then moving on. Or as opposed to, oh, I got to talk to. Or a version. See, there's versions.
Starting point is 00:01:20 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. Friday's out. I got to work Friday, Sunday, Saturday, Sunday. I think I can get there. I might be. What's going on Friday night?
Starting point is 00:01:36 Because if I can catch a flight Friday night after work, then I can get there. Now, 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 would 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 any replace what I was doing. I was sort of where the buck stopped just the way you are in this business. And so you can't there's no one to talk to about that.
Starting point is 00:02:19 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.
Starting point is 00:02:37 Max Pata 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. 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. It would never come up. It's about these new guys.
Starting point is 00:02:55 It's not. Hold on. Come on now. It's not doable, right? No, it wouldn't be a conversation. I wouldn't occur to me. That's the thing. OK, but can I say this? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:01 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 transgender bathroom, to have a conversation about the rights of transgendered people or gay people getting married or whatever's going on in our society. So you're saying it's a different time.
Starting point is 00:03:20 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. It's not he stands out amongst. You're not putting it as a value judgment on him. I got it. No, it's like putting a value judgment and talking to my kids about gay couples and whatever. It's just it's a sign of the times.
Starting point is 00:03:41 Now, hold on. It will hold you back. Right. But I'm not making a value judgment. But that's what you said. He Now, hold on. It will hold you back. Right. 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 00:03:50 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 you said to your son? I said, look, super simple. It's super simple.
Starting point is 00:04:10 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 to be is a little bit hard and have a little bit of a motor, and you'll conquer everything. So, in other words, our entire country has become like a giant radio station. Mm-hmm. And it doesn't mean there's anything our entire country has become like a giant radio station. Mm-hmm. 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?
Starting point is 00:04:31 I do. And what I said was, what I was thinking was, huh, now you've been complaining about all this antisocial, oppositional defiance stuff and your people that you're attracted to or have in your life. stuff and 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 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 automatically, they're going to be thinking, what can I do to get around this authority because authority sucks?
Starting point is 00:05:12 That's antisocial, oppositional defiance as opposed to, hey, that's just to do with a job. How can I – let me just talk to him and figure out how we can get both of our needs met. No, 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, but 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
Starting point is 00:05:36 that we've been following in this country? I think I mentioned it. Well, maybe off the air. I don't know if it's on the air. It's just not a very – it's not yet a really developed notion. I need to study it and think about it more. But 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.
Starting point is 00:05:58 We bail out other people and countries when things are going, when evil is raining down upon them? 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 refugees, we go save people, sort of a heroic archetype, would you say? Somewhere by 1965, we decided, oh, well, that sucks. We're the anti-hero. 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.
Starting point is 00:06:33 A sociopath was elevated. Rock stars, those are our heroes. Criminals, those are our heroes. Godfather. And so I think we are still living in that weird archetype of rejecting everything of an authoritative sort of, or authoritarian, certainly. And we're in kind of the tail end of that. The tail end of sort of burning out on it. Let me be clear here, because I think I can fix all of this in your brain.
Starting point is 00:07:00 Okay. All right? You ready? Yeah. I'm going to make all the dots connect you listening max patter before you do it before you do it do you do you do you hear me does it make sense what i'm saying 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 uh these horrible uh saturday morning cartoons um they
Starting point is 00:07:24 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, OK, that's severe retardation. All right. I get it. Kids used to be kids and kids were sort of meant to be seen and not heard. They didn't really 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.
Starting point is 00:07:55 And we're going to smoke in the car with you in the backseat. We're going to listen in to Les Brown and his band of renown. 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. It's my car. It's my radio station.
Starting point is 00:08:10 And my radio. And when you're older, you 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?
Starting point is 00:08:22 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. No, and the 1850s are probably more than that than the 1950s. Because I think then it was like, hey, man, I'm worried about 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 farm, and they told the kid to get up at 6 and go milk something. Because if you don't, 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 because if
Starting point is 00:08:48 you don't we're we're not gonna yeah but you're the kid i'm 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 56s and 70s the adult declaring all that was sort of a prick sort of an asshole yeah and that may have been it wasn't it wasn't a prick or an asshole. It was just that was our relationship. I'm the adult and you're the child. It was sort of like Mad Men. We were too inflated from the victories of the Second World War or something.
Starting point is 00:09:13 We felt too good about ourselves. Well, maybe there was an element of that. And either way, there was an adult. I get it. There was a child. But again, I'm trying to really drill it down because I know where you're going here. Let me fucking finish and maybe we could get to this.
Starting point is 00:09:26 All right. 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.
Starting point is 00:09:37 And that could have been, you know, hey, what's the prime demo? 18 to 34. 18 to 34. Young, young, young. You talk to people all the time and you'll go oh the guy's got five million uh viewers but he's only got 800 000 in the demo yeah and you go what about the demo they go that's all they care about the demo it's all they care about it's like 41 year old dudes don't have money to buy audi's like they just care about the demo they just care about the
Starting point is 00:09:58 demo but 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 are we listening to rihanna yeah when did all this come in like when did we need then being old became a it became a put down and we call somebody old it's like calling them fat or dumb or something or maybe the the old. Worse. Or worse. Remember, you were part of the establishment, man. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:36 No, I'm saying now, then, the point is, is we turned it to youth, and we started turning everything to youth. Every commercial to youth. All the music to youth. Everything 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 talk to, what, just read your thing, would you then? No, no, no. I'm listening.
Starting point is 00:10:56 You keep looking down and flapping around. No, no. It's actually because I'm deep in thought. I'm actually thinking about stuff. So finish up, please. All right. Well, I know you get up. I have a thing when I'm thinking all right all right so so it was all about youth well youth
Starting point is 00:11:11 they're stupid they this thing it's like oh i have so much to learn from my kids are these blowhard 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, you didn't learn shit about courage. I don't learn anything from my kids. Welcome back to the Adam and Dr. 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.
Starting point is 00:11:55 I really can't get down with Adam's point of view, but listen for yourself. The difference between the two of us is, I got a swimming pool the other night. Lynette's like, you're going to hit the shower? And I'm like, I already did. She's like, you went in the pool. I was like, that's my shower.
Starting point is 00:12:14 You can't convince me that you get any cleaner than in the pool. I thought that way and 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't feel like I get any cleaner than being in and out of the pool.
Starting point is 00:12:31 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 Natalia's 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 to shower. Like, they go hit the shower.
Starting point is 00:12:52 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 00:13:10 Yours is too hairy? Yeah. No, they're psyche, dude. 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. They don't say... When I tell people, I don't really shower. I just say, rinse off. You don't use soap?
Starting point is 00:13:32 No. They don't go, I disagree. They go, gross. That is so gross. Like, you must smell weird. Like, what's growing on you? You're disgusting. You don't realize, mental midget, you have been brainwashed by fucking Procter & Gamble. I'm not stupid.
Starting point is 00:13:47 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. This says Pro-V vitamin A with Nutris. Hey, retard, they're made up words. This says Pro-V vitamin 8 with Nutris. Hey, retard, they're making up words and selling them the Suave bottles $2.79. You're paying $14.21 because they made up a word called Pro-Nutris. Yeah, and a V, and it made a cool color.
Starting point is 00:14:19 And you're saying I'm gross because I'm not stupid? Yeah. There must be some predilection of the human to be disgusted by body stuff including whatever secretions or or oils are on our bodies we know so much naturally i will discuss for that and they're just playing on that because because people react emotionally like so it's disgusting oh and i go and they go well what do you do in the shower? I go, I just rinse off. What about soap?
Starting point is 00:14:47 No, I don't use soap. Oh, if I don't eat a bar of soap every day, I fucking smell like ass, man. I can't. And then they start getting other people involved. Sherry, come here. He doesn't use soap. Yeah, I don't use soap. Oh, it's gross. And then what about shampoo He doesn't use soap. Yeah, I don't use soap. Oh, it's gross. And then what about shampoo?
Starting point is 00:15:08 Don't use shampoo. Listen, retards. You guys use shampoo. You strip away whatever's supposed to be in your hair, and then you use conditioner. Two, chalk up two points for Procter & Gamble in the TARD 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.
Starting point is 00:15:32 I won't use one. I won't go through a bottle of shampoo. I don't use any of that shit. And, oh, it's gross, whatever. No, it's not. Your body will regulate. Your body will figure it out. If you want to get in this thing where you're scrubbing constantly,
Starting point is 00:15:48 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. You got that excess oil. It's around the bridge of your nose.
Starting point is 00:16:08 You got that oil in the nose. That's your T-zone, man. That's an oily T-zone. It's a combination skin with an oily T-zone, man. Get that oil going. Get that pad and scrub. Scrub it. Scrub away.
Starting point is 00:16:20 What the fuck did that do, Drew? Did nothing. Scrubbing just produces more. It's not like, oh, the oil Did nothing. Scrubbing just produces more. It's not like, oh, the oil went away. Scrubbed it away. Everybody's secreting it. It's not an oil slick. It could drop by the Valdez.
Starting point is 00:16:35 It's producing. It's coming from below. What is all this fucking notion, and who is this, and what the fuck? It's not, 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 that was just cold water whatever's on you have you seen that guy that whim hatim Hath or something? Wim Hoth. Has he seen him? Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:17:06 Okay. All right. 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.
Starting point is 00:17:19 Now, let me say this. Every day. And somehow it's doing something to my body in a good way. I don't like to brag. You know, I don't like to brag. I know that. But I have to. Yeah, it's your duty.
Starting point is 00:17:33 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 cleanse and don't deep clean and don't do anything ever. I don't think there's any difference. I don't think there's any difference in my appearance whatsoever. There's no way you could tell. Now, some things are genetic. You have no funk and no oil. That's you.
Starting point is 00:18:02 That's me. That's you. And some people may need to tend a little bit. Come on now. I get the funk and no oil. That's you. That's me. That's you. And some people may need to tend a little bit. Come on now. I get the funk and the oil, but the scrubbing of the oil just creates more oil. That's what I'm saying. Mop it up, but I don't know. Scrub it out.
Starting point is 00:18:14 I don't think so. Don't go crazy. Look, everything is genetic. Yeah. Is shampoo doing anybody any good? Some people. The majority of people? I don't think the majority of people need shampoo
Starting point is 00:18:25 i think they need to rinse themselves off every day i don't think they need to scrub with detergent there's no way 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. They're not soaps anymore. They're like, I don't know. This one's made with McAdoo. It's a new kind of a melon. Do you know the McAdoo?
Starting point is 00:18:53 I do not. It's from New Zealand. I figured. It sounded like a New Zealand product. Yeah. The McAdoo. It's got Dos Bravos 5. Wow. Dos. Dos Bravos 5. Oh my God. Dos. Dos Bravos 5. Oh, my God. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:06 It's Dos Bravos. It's Macadou melon. It's the essence of Macadou melon. Essence of Macadou. Well, they go to Australia. Well, you read the label, it's less than 1%. New Zealand. New Zealand.
Starting point is 00:19:17 New Zealand. Excuse me. New Zealand. Yes. It's a Kiwi adjacent. It's not a Kiwi. I know. It's adjacent.
Starting point is 00:19:24 It's a Macadou. It's not a kiwi. I know. It's a macadam. It's a macadam. With Dos Bravos 5. It's emollients and essence. It's your haircraft. Did you know that? Your follicles, your, okay, your hair are like tentacles on an octopus. Yes. You feed, what they feed, it comes back to the center.
Starting point is 00:19:42 Oh, I see. They pull it back. Yeah, they pull it back. You feed, what they feed, it comes back to the center. Oh, I see. They pull it back. Yeah, they pull it back. What the Strava 5 does is it soaks up the emollients, the balsam, and the mackadou,
Starting point is 00:19:55 and it sends it back to the roots, and then the healthier roots. It also heals the split ends. You ever see a dead tree? I've seen one. You know what kills it? Bad roots. Oh, of course. You nurture the roots in the tree grass.
Starting point is 00:20:06 So we do that with hair. We do that with hair. With McAdoo. Right. Dos Bravos 5. It's not free. No. But you're worth it.
Starting point is 00:20:14 Yes? I'm worth it. Or you could use a dollop of fucking dish soap and it'd be exactly the same for the rest of your life. Except for that doesn't smell like anything and you're're dealing with stupid people, and they've got to deal with scent. Dumb people, much more scent-oriented. Think about it. You're more of an animal. Oh, this, this, Nutresia.
Starting point is 00:20:38 This stuff works the best. Yeah. I've seen, I've seen the chick from Sex and the City uses this stuff. She has a good life. She knows what she's doing. We'll be right back with more of the Adam and Dr. Drew Show classics. 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,
Starting point is 00:21:05 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. It's an interesting thing, Drew. Here's an interesting subject. Oh. What we should be empathetic
Starting point is 00:21:25 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
Starting point is 00:21:41 sleeping on the sofa. And I said, where's Lynette? And they said, she's sofa. I said, where's Lynette? They said, she's gone. I said, whoa. We had a deal. She was taking care of Phil today and I'm working today. She said, yeah, she forgot. Forgot Phil? Left him?
Starting point is 00:21:56 Yes. There's a part of me that went like, oh, come on. Then there's a part of me that went jealous. I wish I could do that. There's always a jealous part. I feel that way when I see corpses. No, there's a part of me went jealous i wish i could do that well there's always a jealous part but i see i 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 rushing i get my car i may do it later on today yeah and things that I realize are within my possibilities of
Starting point is 00:22:27 things I could do, like I could do this or I almost did that, or one time I did get in the car and shut the door and someone ran out with Phil, I immediately just brush off as, okay, I could have done that. You know what I mean? You do a school shooting, I don't go, well, I could have had a bad day. I go, no.
Starting point is 00:22:44 Alright, school shootings. I have thoughts on that. So you could have had a bad day. I go, no. All right. School shootings. I have thoughts on that. So you gave Lynette a pass, what you're saying? Absolutely not. No, no. No, no. Emotional pass.
Starting point is 00:22:53 I'm not bringing anything up. Okay. But I mean, I'm not going to go home and go, hey, you should have, because I could have done that. 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.
Starting point is 00:23:26 Let's assume we get something you would never not do. Right, right. 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? 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 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. i'll give you i'll give you i'll give you a perfect example okay you ready
Starting point is 00:24:10 yeah i said uh a million years ago when we're 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 big with a big lift kit on it, like big knobby tires on it and everything. 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,
Starting point is 00:24:40 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. I probably just said the warehouse, but yes, my name is on the deed.
Starting point is 00:25:06 Okay. 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 00:25:27 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
Starting point is 00:25:57 never well you know how never you know 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. He's so exceptional. That would be exceptional. And so he said, two weeks. Two weeks. And I said, okay, two weeks.
Starting point is 00:26:16 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. And that'll be that. Can I? We'll move on. Jump in a little. Today's the third. That'll be the 17th. And that'll be that. Can I... We'll move on.
Starting point is 00:26:25 Jump in a little. This is just my way of 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 timeframe, keep it as a priority, start planning and moving towards that date, unless you were reminding them, since it's a little more of a priority to you because what's in it for them. Mm-hmm. Yeah? Look, there are more effective ways to get stuff done.
Starting point is 00:26:51 I'm not going to argue with you. I just like to ask people, what do you need? Tell me what you want. How many times do you got to do that before you stop doing it? I don't do it that often. He said two weeks. I said, good. I won't bug you.
Starting point is 00:27:03 We'll just do it. Fair enough. And two weeks came and went. Shocking. It was exactly where it was. And I said, what's going on? And they said, didn't move it. But here's the interesting part.
Starting point is 00:27:14 And this is the part. 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, 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.
Starting point is 00:27:30 It was a little more than I reckon for. More parts than 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, 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 ten thousand dollars at
Starting point is 00:27:51 stake that conversation going on 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 yeah there when there's a carrot. And then how to go after that? How long was it there for? Oh, it got it got moved at some point and junked after that. But the point is this. I have understanding, sympathy and and whatever for the person who literally can't do it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:22 But we're you don't know many people 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. And if you gave them $1,000, it would get done. And if you gave them $10,000, it would get done tomorrow. So now we all know we can do it. Now we're making a choice. A choice.
Starting point is 00:28:47 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. So it ain't going to happen until you will for something for money yes right yeah 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 it's a coach counting on you i'm just saying that's
Starting point is 00:29:19 not going to work with those people so my my thing is if you're capable of doing something i know 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're you have a motivational system that includes your scale of justice that no one else has i have a saying you know 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 you yourself? Yes. Did I agree? Yes.
Starting point is 00:29:52 And if the answer is yes, then we need no more discussions about carrots. It's your scale of justice kicks in and you say, I committed to something. That's the right thing to do. I'm going to do it. Most people have no scale of justice. 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. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:30:12 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. I think it 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.
Starting point is 00:30:25 All right. That's all for this week. Thanks for listening to the Adam and Dr. Drew Show Classics.
