The guys also discuss an old pay stub that Adam found from one of his very first paying gigs in Hollywood. Please Support Our Sponsors: SimpliSafe.com/Adam2 Angi.com

I got thoughts on pandas.

The panda has two things going for it in terms of why Americans love it so much. The fur, the aforementioned fur with the black patch on the eye. Back in the day you could watch them on a black and white TV and it was still the same experience. That's right. My old Zenith would have been fine with a panda. We should have referred to black and whites as panda sets.

Then when I said to my dad, can we get rid of the black and white 13 inch Zenith and you want to throw the panda out Come on now boy They're also the only animals in the zoo that we seem to know the names of You know you go see the bear It's the bear and you go see the tiger Then you see the pandas that one's Ling Ling

That's right The Adam Carolla Show Wherever finer podcasts are found. Recorded live at Corolla One Studios with Adam Corolla and board-certified physician and addiction medicine specialist, Dr. Drew Pinsky. You're listening to The Adam and Dr. Drew Show. Yeah, get it on. Got to get on the church.

We're going to mandate get it on. Thanks for tuning in. Thanks for telling a friend. Thank you for sharing some time with us. We love that story. How are you doing, Drew? I'm doing good. Again, I've got lots of stuff for you, as always.

Want to go to a call real quick? There's one up there really interesting at Line 1. I wonder what that is. All right. You've got lots of stuff. I do. Sam, 45, Glendale. Hey, guys. For a long time, I felt this way.

I make a decent living at a, I can't name the place, but it's an Internet company you've heard of. I have a good position, a good paying job. A lot of people report to me and they look up to me. And I have this continual sense of feeling like a fraud. And I don't know if this is common. I don't know if it's just something I'm going through or what. But do you hear this from, I don't know, like professionals or whatever stupid word we want to sign?

Yes, absolutely. The higher the training, the sort of the more accomplished, there tends to be an association with this syndrome, and it's called the imposter syndrome. And people feel like an imposter. They really don't know as much as people sort of want them to know. That is spot on. That is exactly it. You read about it.

There's a ton of ink spilled on it. You could spend the next week reading about it. And it's very common. My son experienced it when he graduated from college. He didn't feel like he went to Vanderbilt. He didn't feel like he deserved it. He said at the end he felt like he pulled one over on everybody. Like, I can't believe I'm graduating from this place.

And, in fact, he fully deserved it. He did great there. But he still felt like he pulled one over on people by graduating from this great institution. by graduating from this great institution. And at its core, more commonly, it's a sense of not being worth sort of your accomplishments or not being up to it or sort of people see you as somehow better than you feel about yourself. There's sort of an incongruity there. Or even more so maybe in the past, maybe you didn't do well in school for a certain period of time and all of a sudden you excelled and now you still feel like that kid that was not succeeding back in fourth grade, whatever.

Does that make sense? How do you feel, Drew? Yeah. I don't really feel the imposter thing. I've occasionally felt it a little bit here and there. I know what it is. I have an intuition for it, but I don't really feel it because I don't know. I feel like they should listen to me sometimes.

You have that. You feel like people should listen to me sometimes. You have that. You feel like people should listen to you most of the time, right? They should. Yeah. I mean, if they'd like to be successful, they should. If they don't, then they should. But I've had that feeling come over me once in a while. So I get it.

I know what that feels like. Yeah. Sam? Yeah. Thanks, guys. It's out there. It's probably, I don't know. It's something that a lot of people flirt

with except for me or drew ever no i know no ever you probably never i i do i know i've i don't i don't i don't do i don't have sub i'm saying i'm not in a field that lends itself to the imposter field right right right if you're building it doesn't lend itself to imposter and comedy doesn't really lend itself i'll tell you lend itself to the imposter. I'll tell you where I felt it. I felt it when – for some reason, it was right here when I was learning to sort of dose insulin in patients. And I remember when I was watching a diabetologist do it. I'm like – or IV fluids.

There's another place. I was like, oh, God, I'll never – and then I started doing it. I'm like, oh, my God, this is pathetically easy. Anybody could do this. And I thought, oh, God, I'll never. And then I started doing it. I'm like, oh, my God, this is pathetically easy. Anybody could do this. And I thought, oh, I'm an imposter. This is just we're pulling something over on people. So it's sort of the ease with which you can do something that actually takes a bit of skill to be able to master that sort of also fosters the feeling. Do you feel good about that, Sam?

good about that sam uh i i think it helps me put things into a little perspective and and more maybe more just knowing that you know it's it's not totally uncommon and other yeah you know you're not alone not alone what what's what sort of fits your profile were you did you have trouble at one point and still feel like that guy or you don't feel as worthy of the position you have? Well, it's kind of weird. Prior to, I'm not sure if it correlates to puberty or if it correlates to this move that my family did, but sort of prior to this point in time, I was an insanely capable student. I was pushed ahead one grade, and they were supposed to push me ahead another

grade or two. My parents intervened because I was not doing well socially at that point. And after, anyway, after this, like we moved or whatever, I all of a sudden just went to this polar opposite thing. I could never focus anymore. I was, my GPA was, coming out of high school, I believe, was 1.1. And I just, I was miserable. I tried going to college. I was miserable. I tried going to college. I was miserable. So let me give a little interpretation.

So you have all this natural intellectual horsepower. You got depressed. You didn't do well academically, so that defined you, and now you've sort of kicked back into your more natural intellectual proclivities and you still feel like that loser in high school. Yeah, I guess so. I mean, that's what it sounds like, right? You still sound a little depressed, by the way.

Yeah, I fight it all the time. Are you married with kids? I'm married, and she came with kids? I'm married and she came with kids. I work out. Exercise seems to be my best defense against depression. Exercise is everyone's

best defense. Maybe you're dealing with some depression here and a little less of what you're dealing with. A little less of the fraud and a little more depression. The fraud may be somehow a symptom of the depression. Oh, I, you know, everything, back pain and headaches and blah, blah, blah, all seem to be a symptom of the depression. Low energy, you know, whatever you're talking about need always narcolepsy or sleep or needs more sleep.

You know, it's like a lot of roads lead to depression. Speaking of roads leading things, somebody tweeted me and Gary, I don't know if you can find. I think I just tweeted it. Rogan thing we were talking about yesterday. I haven't been totally tuned in, but what do you need? Sorry, I don't need to hear it. totally tuned in but what do you need it's all right i i don't need to hear it um the somebody so i was saying to you the other day i said uh look everyone's getting strung out on these pain pills and everything like what what happened to that shot of brandy kind of thing and you're like

i don't know about that but then i said that yeah well i i think you know you'd rather them have a shot of brandy than get strung out on vicodin. I'd rather them take pot way more. Yeah. Okay. We get it. You're cool. You're the cool doctor. I'm cool.

But somebody, I think, sent me an article on alcohol and pain relief. Yeah. And I was serious to you when I said, instead of the doctors, give them handfuls of Vicodin. Yeah. Go like, have a shot of sherry or something before you go to bed. But they're, yeah, a couple things. There it is. Sorry.

Yeah. Mostly, you have to drink a lot of it. Yeah, you do. You have to drink quite a bit. All right. Done. Done. That screws up your sleep.

Obviously, it's, you know, I'll call it a carcinogen. It's not good for your liver. It's not something you can really use chronically for pain. No, no. If it's for a couple of days. No, I wasn't thinking chronically. I was thinking these people have their knee replacement surgery. They get on the Vicodin for three or four weeks, and next thing you know, it's on.

Yeah, yeah. And what I'm saying is, I don't know, how about a little taste of the hair of the dog? I was thinking a little IPA would be good, but how about a little CBD? CBD, that'd be good. What's a CBD? Oh, look, Gary's like, yeah, man, that's CBD. You're cool, dude.

What's CBD? Oh, that's been helpful for people in my life. Yeah. Nobody knows what a CBD is. CBD is a portion of the cannabis plant that you can get in like a vape or an oil, several different ways, but it's a non-psychoactive.

And we don't have it concentrated enough yet in this country to really be what I'm looking for, but we will. What's it do? Famously, Nate Diaz, after his second Conner fight, was vaping CBD in front of all the media. It's like it helps with inflammation. It's pain inflammation, yeah. Yeah.

It's not going to be quite the panacea that everyone hopes for, but it's good pain relief. Yeah.

So visit simplisafe.com slash adam2. That's simplisafe.com slash adam2. That's simplisafe.com slash adam2. All right, so let's see. Oh, I have a thing to tell you. Susan had eye surgery this week. I've been living

away from my house for the last four days being a nurse. Really? What's going on? She had cataracts and glaucoma. Wow. A crowded eye. And this guy, Karius Seal, had a seal eye. It did unbelievable. I'm so jealous of him. I mean, they charge.

They get all this money. They come in. In 30 minutes, they restore sight. It's like magicians. It's like, oh, I went in the wrong field of medicine. They're not magicians. They're like warlocks. Yeah, yeah.

Because it's not the illusion of sight. It's warlockian. Yeah, yeah. Because it's not the illusion of sight. It's warlock, yeah. It's warlockian. Warlockian. But I cannot recommend this guy strong enough. A guy named CLI. I'm going to go get the, I was getting evaluated for Lasix for it. Do you want to do that?

I've done Lasix. You did? I did. And it worked for a while. And it sort of works now. I just, I still read better with glasses. Oh, you have it for the close vision. But I have a thin cornea.

I need to do something called PRK and it sort of freaked me out a little bit. But then in the meantime, we found her stuff. She has this crowded eye and needs her lens taken out. It was four days of intensive recovery and surgery and stuff.

What were you doing? Wet nurse? Wet nurse. What were you doing? Wet nurse? Wet nurse. What were you doing? She was sucking on my teeth the whole time I was wet. Yeah. Yeah, she was. I was just attending to it.

Was she able to see? Pretty good. It's just a lot of – It sounds like she could have made herself some soup. No, there was a lot of like, I can't move. I've had too much Versed and I can't move. I'm tired. A lot of stuff.

So this is a weird thing. I drop every two hours. There's so many people that have that I need help mode. And I so reject that mode. Me too. That I don't think I'm ever, I don't care what kind of shape I'm in. It's not even stoic I just reject it

if you come in and go you want me to stay behind and make some soup I'm in a place I'm fine I would never ever do that and thus I'm the worst person to provide it for other people I'm pretty good at it

you're good at it? Yeah, I think so. I get a little, I get stir crazy, you know, after four days of one surgery and then a recovery and a follow-up and a surgeon,

recovery and a follow-up. But it's, but magic, man. She's got 20-20 vision now, both close and far. It's crazy. It's crazy. Right.

So, yeah. And how long ago was, how long ago was this not possible, you think? What she has, she had a certain thing where the lens had to also be correcting the glaucoma. She had what's called a crowded eye. I bet a few years ago, like three to five years ago, you would have been in sort of questionable territory, or territory where the vision wouldn't have been as good, and you would have been redoing it.

I bet. Daryl, 31, Boulder. Daryl? Yes, sir. How are you gentlemen good um yeah so my wife and i are uh kind of jumped into some issues and she uh she wants me to leave we got two little girls and uh i want to do whatever it takes to not have that happen. What do you mean you jumped in some issues? What the hell does that mean? Ah, yeah, that's a poor choice of words. But, you know, we've been rocky for a while, and it looked like it was coming up.

Yeah, Darrell, you're going to have to get – they can't use a bunch of euphemistic, vague – what exactly is going on. Understood. She started working out of town for half the week about six months ago um i got out of the military a few years ago and started going to college so um both of those things have been hard on us obviously uh little role reversal there she uh she makes really good money and i've been kind of the caretaker, and our relationship has kind of suffered. And we had her family, her brother move in, who also just got out of the military, and that's been like a bone of contention. And, you know, it was up and up. She called me a month ago and said, I talked to my boss today about traveling less,

and it looks like that's going to be the case. And when I get home, I'm going to talk to my brother about moving out. And then about two, three weeks ago, she just said, we're talking about a cruise that we've been planning on going on this summer with my family. And she just said, as I'm driving her home from the airport picking her up from her travel her work travel she uh she said i don't think we're going to be together by the time this um cruise hits this summer um and all right a couple things i never get the part where she's out of town or i'm on the road you know this thing especially actors and actresses there's like you

know i have one of those jobs where I have to be out of town. I should go to town. Then you come back and you go out to dinner and you miss each other. Like, you know, I'm not that go out of town part. I never really understood. It was the sort of right up there with I'm too busy to date. Like, really? Yeah.

Too busy to date. I feel like there's a lot of busy guys out there who find plenty of time for dating and women as well. So I'm not exactly sure what the travel part means. Except for maybe seeing somebody. Is that what you're saying? Yes. Okay. Do you think there's another?

I'm trying to think, yeah. Okay. Do you think there's another, I, I'm trying to think, Drew, what percentage of time is somebody just, you know, moving on without the presence of another person and without the presence of something catastrophic? Somebody got caught cheating. Some of the, somebody's a junkie, you know what I mean? So when somebody, two people just drift apart, right? When people drift apart, what usually I find is people, the partner that feels it the most is sort of complaining, complaining, complaining, complaining. Right. Yes.

When they say, I'm leaving, somebody else. So it's complain, complain, complain, and then leave somebody else. Daryl, what do you think? She was complaining, complaining, complaining. And we'd been going to counseling this time a year ago. And then, yeah, she just kind of said, I've had enough. Like, I don't have any more to give. What is it exactly that she wants from you?

Well, we both have had a hard time with the role reversal thing. She came back and, you know, I'm in charge of dinner. I'm in charge of cleaning the house. And it just felt like it was, you know, as much as I could do every time she'd come home from being gone for three days in Irvine. And, you know, something wasn't done or their laundry wasn't done or put away or something. She's like your grandmother. I'm telling you, when you swap these things around, when you start swapping this, when you swap this stuff around,

it would never fly. Never. Ever. Oh, my God. Ever. It would never fly. Ever. Explain. ever ever it would never fly ever explain if you took your wife and my wife and our role and her role and their role and you flopped everything around we would be in in in the stocks in the

middle of town being flogged and and and and to make sure we did everything perfectly be thrown in a well and and called a heretic. No, just we would consider like, what are you doing? You don't get to go to the gym for four hours in the middle of the day. You can't go to lunch with your friend. It's a weekday. What's he doing? What are you doing, Drew?

You can't go with your friend out to lunch for not a four hour. I eat my lunch at my desk. What are you doing? You'd be considered a pariah. Pariah. Well, you're proving it here with this case. Right? It's not. Here'd be the first thing.

True. Yeah. What do you need a nanny for? You don't have a job. That'd be number one. That'd be number one. How about, why do you sleep till nine o'clock well actually annette gets up and takes a good school so i don't get that hey daryl yeah i get up and take the i get up and take the girls to school and uh and you know i'm then i go to school. I'm going to a real college.

Like, I'm doing stuff. Yeah, I get it. Look, I went through this, too, when I was on the road. And there's something about traveling and being on the road and that kind of stuff. And you just walk through the door, and everyone's in their bathrobe on top of the bed, and it's noon, and you're pissed. Like, you're just pissed. You're like, I left Philadelphia at 4 a.m like i'm pissed and the road coming off the road coming back it and she comes well i don't care if you took a pressure washer to the entire outside of the house clean the gutters

i don't care if you did anything she if she comes walking through the door and you're just sitting on the sofa watching the news she's i guarantee she's pissed right then and there time the pressure washer for when she's coming home but you know i don't believe this kind of reversal works because i think any woman is working full-time traveling feeling a little bit ragged she comes home there's nothing you can do that's going to no matter what you, there's always going to be a load of laundry that's not done. And she's going to go right to it. And you're going to get defensive and you're going to go, you don't know what I do. I'm gone. What about the stuff you don't see, the stuff you don't talk about?

You don't notice when X, Y, and Z. And she's going to notice that there's no dinner waiting, and that's what she will notice. So, Daryl, you guys have been through therapy. Yeah, we've been together 10, 11 years. And, you know, I'm literally packing my bags right now. Like, she's coming home from Irvine tonight, and I'm going to stay with

a friend like but i don't want to do this i want to yeah do anything i can to how old how old are the kids how old are they uh almost three and five yeah they you know especially at five you start to notice these things yeah and you and you've been in there you guys have been in the therapist's office we were last year but she doesn't want to do it again and i'm going by myself right now to try anything ask the therapist any advice as therapist here she thinks that there's somebody else it just feels like that does it feel like there might you think there might be another human here it it felt like it for a while but I don't really think that's the case anymore. You know, her family's, some of her family's with me. Most of her family's with her.

She's got a big family, and that means a lot. But, you know, her dad kind of went through this with mom, too, kind of deal. Mom picked up and left. They had seven kids together, and she just left one night. And, like, cops crossed state lines were out looking for and everything in it they were gone for weeks and finally found her and then she went to live with mom for from 8 to 18 about and what was the deal with mom why'd she take off because she's got she was uh traumatized i think by a brother when she was young, and she just has bad coping

mechanisms and just hops from guy to guy to guy. She's on marriage number four, and she just doesn't leave one until the other one's ready to got a room ready for her, you know? So mom also cheated. Well, not necessarily also, but here's the thing. When you got a mama that can just pick up and leave seven kids, you have a deeply disturbed person. Deeply. Deeply.

You know, whatever Lynette and I may quarrel about, she's deeply devoted to those two kids. Deeply. And would never, ever dream of going anywhere without those kids. So this notion of, well, she met somebody else and he lived in another state. No, no, no, no, no. That doesn't work. Now, guys can do it. I don't like them.

I don't trust them. But they can. When women do it, something is deeply wrong. And as the offspring of that woman, nature or nurture, that's something that's deeply wrong with. Your wife has something going on in her which is broken. The residual of that. The residual of that which is broken, which is if mama gets up and leaves, there are some serious bonding issues and connection and intimacy issues. And that's why your wife can just sort of say,

I'm not going to be around for the love boat in July. Yeah, just flip the switch. It's funny. I don't even know if the switch exists. If she has attachments. Yeah, she may not. Yeah. But then again, is it possible that mom was sort of healthy for a while and then got maniche and bipolar or substance or something?

And the kids. I really think on behalf of the kids, you try the therapist one more time. You try the therapist one more time, and I would really delve into her mom and her ability just to pick up and leave. That's a major situation there. And I come from a little of that. I can tell you that right now. And I don't know when it changes or what it affects. All right. Hey, Drew.

Yes? I got this check stub I dug. I was cleaning all this stuff out of my other warehouse. I came across my check stub from Warner Brothers Animation from 1992. And I was looking at the gross pay is $2,400 for a script I wrote. This is 96 hours. What's that all about? I think they just assign some random hourly rate or something.

And when they get their assigned hourly rate, $27 an hour, whatever they pay for their – however you you get to 24, a hundred bucks. They just make the, they reverse engineer the math and make it work. I don't know. They've decided this, how long it takes to write a script. And, um,

and then there's a bunch of deductions, but I, I'm not sure how much is deducted because I, I can't, uh, total was 717 99 cents, seven, seven, 1799 was your total deduction or my total deductions. Yeah. $7? $717.99 was your total deductions.

Or my total deductions. Yeah. Right. Out of my $24,000, so I got to walk with $16,000. $16,082, yeah. $16,082. Yeah, it sucks when you're poor because you make $2,400 and you're like, oh, I got $2,400. I was like, you don't have near $2,000, son.

And to be fair, I don't see any state deductions here. So there'll be some state tax. For some reason, state and county wasn't removed. Yeah. That's probably still on. Oh, wait. I'm sorry. You did.

You paid $134 in state tax. There it is. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, that was big money for me back in the day. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, that was big money for me back in the day.

At 24, well now, 1,600 and change, that was big cash for the Ace Man. That was like one of my first, that was like my first real paying comedy gig. I also had to back out a few hundred bucks to my buddy Robbie Levine who typed everything. I couldn't type. I didn't have a computer or a typewriter. How could I turn in a script? So I had to pay this friend of mine who lived down the street. 92, nobody

had a computer. Nobody had a computer. There were a couple guys that had, but he may have had like an early Mac or something. But you know, tractor feed printer, I don't know. But the point is, he had to type it and I had to pay him his VIG, too. I probably got out of there with $1,500. But that was big bucks, man.

I'm just thinking, you know, we have to get these new federal IDs. Oh, yeah. And in order to get one, it's for flying, essentially, if you don't want to fly with your passport. And you have to have – use this. You have to have like a pay stub with an address and stuff. But I guess this address wouldn't work. It's an apartment in Santa Monica. Why not, man?

You have an apartment in Santa Monica? Well, I got an apartment in Santa Monica because it was like this – it's kind of this funny – I don't know. It was like this kind of this funny, I don't know, it's so funny when you're poor how you're not exactly criminal, but nothing exactly done correctly. Yeah, yeah. You know, and my buddy Mark Sweeney, who is the director over at Acme Theater, lived there. And at some point, him and his girlfriend, they bought a house on like the west side. And it's like, God, Sweeney's got that sweet apartment in Santa Monica. It was rent control. And it was the sort of thing where it's like, I moved in when he moved out, but we didn't really officially tell anybody.

And we kind of told the landlord, the helper guy, and it was sort of like, oh, I'm here, you know, for Mark, you know, for now. Watching the dog. Yeah, I'm just here. I'm writing the checks now, but, you know, for now, for here. You know, I'm here. And he'd be like, so wait a minute. We don't have any paperwork or anything. Like, oh, no, no. I just, I'll send the checks and then Mark's not here right now.

And then I'll just do the checks. I'll talk to him about it. And then I'll be here with the checks, you know, for now. Right. Just for now, you know. Okay. Please ask. Like, everyone, like, my whole life is like, please just don't ask any more questions.

Please. Please, no more questions. Don't notice I exist. I'll just be here. I'll give you checks. And don't worry, I'll give you the check. It'll be the same check. It's a good check.

That was it. So the guy was kind of like, you know, you're in. It reminds me, it's funny. The best gig I ever had at the time was the same guy, Robbie Levine, was working as a second AD. And he did the movie Judgment Night. And he got me a gig doing stand-in for one of the bad guys. I remember you told me this. And did we run across them again later or something?

There was something about that story. I probably told Cuba Gooding Jr. Sorry. I don't know whoever said it, but I was one of the bad guy standards. And Mark was like the AD or the – sorry. Robbie was like the AD. So he got me the job doing it. And it wasn't Peter Green.

It wasn't – it was like Michael – I got to go back't Aaron. It was like Michael. I got to go back up there. It was like Michael Wiseman. Yeah, it was a guy. Now, Michael Wiseman at the time had long hair. He was quite a bit shorter than me, and he really looked nothing. He looked nothing like me. Nothing.

I mean, he had long hair and was 5'11 or something with long hair. I mean, he had long hair and was, you know, 5'11 or something with long hair. I mean, he looked nothing like me. And I just, and Robbie was like, the stand-ins for all the other guys, like Dennis Leary. The guy who stood in for Dennis Leary could have been Dennis Leary. Like, he looked exactly like Dennis Leary. And all the other guys looked exactly, we'd wear the same wardrobe and everything. We had to be the same height, the same coloring the same hair and stuff so they could light you

you know, and it was like and Robbie's like, I got your job standing in for that guy over there and I'm like, I don't look anything like that guy and it was the very first day on set, but it was like $100 a day and all the food you wanted, and you could lay around

all day, I couldn't believe it it was like free food, lay around, $100 a day and if the food you wanted and you could lay around all day i couldn't believe it's like free food lay around 100 bucks a day and if your guy didn't get killed it took you it took you a long time to get thrown off so the very first time the lighting director like the the the i i think it was like the uh dp or something so like all right stand-ins in everybody in all right here we go let's set this up we We're like standing in a big intersection in LA and they're like trying to light it. And he's like, okay, we got the Leary. All right, so Leary, your character,

you're over here. Okay, turn this way and then you're Cuba Gooding Jr. And then he looked at my character and he just went like, uh, what the? And then he was like, uh-huh. All right, Dennis, go stand up. And he gave a look like, what the fuck? And then he was like, uh-huh, all right, Dennis, go stand up, and he gave a look like,

what the fuck? And then he just kind of went, if you can get past the what the fuck, from that point on, I was just a guy standing who didn't look anything like him, and the other guys comically looked exactly like the other guys, but from that point on, it didn't matter. If you can get through that one little window where the guy

is at your apartment, and he's going, where's Sweeney? And I'm like, he's moved on, but here we are. If you can get past that little moment where the guy goes, okay. From that point on, you're just that dude. Keep moving. You got to get past that little window where the guy could make a move. See what I'm saying, Drew? I see what you're saying.

Somebody... Oh, my God. Yeah, that was the one with Big Bad Drew, not Big Bad John. Yes, yes, yes. Big Bad John. It sounds like the Big Bad John. No, Drew, you got a weird ear. I was just hearing Big Bad John. No, I know one...

One... Half a sonic syllable into it, and I know exactly. Where's the big bad John? My only gift is knowing sonically. Yeah. We just had Billy Vera in here from Billy and the Beaters. He's an acclaimed songwriter. Yeah.

He said two words. I said, are you the voice of A.M.P.M.? He said, yeah. And I was like, that's all I could hear, but he doesn't look the part. He doesn't seem the part. He's like, nothing apart. And I don't even see that all I could hear. But he doesn't look the part. He doesn't seem the part.

He's like, nothing apart. And I don't even see that many AMPM commercials, but Tungus. He's the voice. Voice of Tungus? The voice of AMPM. Oh, my God. I have a bizarre sonic thing where, you know, remember you'd get those cassettes at the car wash and they'd go, all the greatest Motown hits done by the original artist. Well, yeah, they were done by the original artist, but they did not have the original

composition because that's copywritten. So what they would do is get Martha and her Vandellas to come back and do a version. If I heard a tenth of a second of that song I was like not the same version I was bumped, put off and knew it immediately and once in a while people go like nah it's that because once in a while they get close

I'm pretty sure no, no the only thing I'm good at really in life is the sonic part that part sound discrimination that's right I'm good at really in life is the sonic part. That part. Sound discrimination. Sound discrimination. That's right. Oh, yeah. Big bad

John. Yeah. But you've heard, you used to hear this song a lot when you were a kid. Yeah. Not like, well, you heard it recently. Wait a minute. When I was a kid. No, I didn't hear it a lot when I was a kid. Here's the other thing, too. You were the one that called it out. I never owned an album. I didn't have this album. I didn't have this album.

I didn't have... I heard it when other people heard it, when it was on the radio. Like, just people go like, oh, well, you know all this stuff because you collected all that. Are you listening? I was like, no, I did not. I never had any albums. I never had any music. Those things cost money. We didn't do that at the Corolla house.

I could just hear it. I listened to the radio, and I could tell what the song was just a moment in. I'd be horrible at Jeopardy, but name that tune. Look out world. There's a new show coming from Jamie Foxx called Can You Beat Shazam? And the question is

can you identify a song faster than the Shazam app can? Well, I can't do like Bruno Mars songs or something like that. By the way, Bruno Mars sound like temptation songs. So there's no, there's nothing like that. But if you want to dig, if you want to go seventies or even eighties or something, you want to keep in the genre, not with, you know, I can't do Katy Perry songs, but they have

to be. I'll fire up Jamie Foxx on the blower and see what we can do. Get them on the blower. All right. Adamcarolla.com is where you go. Live shows, Irvine, Thursday, June 15th. Dennis Prager. Boy, is that guy got a lot of wisdom.

Jesus. And you know what? He's in a good mood about it. I like that. He's thinking about the world these days. He's optimistic, but he's very worried about college campuses and what's going on and does a – makes a very strong and interesting argument, which is he is a liberal, but he's not a leftist. He thinks liberals are good, leftists bad. He has no problem with Alan Dershowitz, who would vote for for Hillary Clinton but is a liberal, not a leftist.

Leftist wants no conversation on college campus. A liberal likes – they want to talk about climate change. But if you want to get up there and talk about – if Ann Coulter wants to speak her piece, then that's our society. I heard an interesting – listening to a podcast and this guy was saying that when people make something sacred, watch out. Oh. So if something becomes a sacred,

you know, sort of topic, then there's no more discourse. All right. DrDrew.com, get all that family podcast there. Sign up for DrDrew.com
