The Adam and Dr. Drew Show - Big Brother, Bad Decisions, and Drunken Dials – A Classic Adam & Dr. Drew Throwback Episode #500 (2017)

Episode Date: March 21, 2025

Adam and Drew open the show discussing Adam's love for his Amazon Echo and it's 'Alexa' assistant and the potential for people to be spying on you via devices such as these. This leads into a wider ranging conversation about surveillance in general and how much the general public really has to fear in terms of government eavesdropping. They then turn to the phones and speak to a variety of callers including one studying biology with questions about psychology and another who is in trouble with his girlfriend for drunkenly hitting on her sister.

All right, I want you guys to check out this throwback episode. It's actually episode 500. Adam and I are discussing his love for Amazon Echo and Alexa Assistant and the potential for people to be spying on UV, all these devices. Sounds naive now in retrospect. Bigger conversation, of course, ensues. Surveillance in general, how much the general public has to fear. My goodness, a little bit of history being dropped in.

And we go to the phones and speak to a variety of callers, including one studying biology with questions about psychology and another who's in trouble with his girlfriend or drunkenly hitting on her sister.

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 it on. No choice but to get on.

Mandate, get it on. Welcome to the show. Thanks for tuning in. Thanks for telling a friend. Thanks for spreading the good juju around, man. Loving you. Good day, Drewsky. Good day, sir. With that lovely classical music playing in the background. Makes me feel that the mandate makes you feel the mandate. You initially objected to it. I did? You did. Yeah, I've already forgotten that.

And I said, I love classical music, makes everything better. And it's rarely discussed, not by us, but by society. And you're better off. I got my Alexa set up. Uh-oh? And I just go in there and I... But aren't you worried that it's here listening to your every word? I got a microphone that collects every word I say with my 15 podcasts a week, so I don't care. But I, and I have none of that with anything.

I mean, I think too, it's like, hey, they want to hear what I have to say? Have at it. Can't imagine anything more boring. Well, look, it's a kind of a thing. It's interesting. Anyway, quickly, I just walk in and I say, Alexa, play classical music. And then I just sit there and answer tweets or do whatever, and I have classical music playing, and it's nice. In terms of what you were talking about, like I can't imagine, it's kind of like this. I think they're, now

let's go ahead and create four categories, okay, of information someone could get off of you, okay, Or things they could discover from you when you didn't know it. Like personal versus financial? I'm gonna break it down right now. That's why I came up with the fork. One is just life, overhearing you tell your kids to do their homework or asking the dog

for once to come in from outside or asking your wife if someone fed the dog. It's a nonsense of life. Zero. The other stuff is the stuff that I put on the heading of taking a shit, which is there's nobody, no matter how, you know, the hottest chick on the planet takes a big steam and dump once a day,

you know what I'm saying? They all- I hear you, I don't know what you're saying. You feel my arousal level? No, what I'm saying? They all... I hear you, I don't know what you're saying. You feel my arousal level? No, what I'm saying is there's this stuff we do as human beings. That's gross. Or whatever.

Or whatever, yeah. You're like sitting there and you're going, oh, could you imagine Margot Robbie's gynecologist? He's getting paid! He's getting paid to look at that cooter, but it's like, eh, it's his job, it's a biological functioncologist. He's getting paid. He's getting paid to look in that cooter, but it's like, it's his job. It's a biological function kind of a thing. It's, you know, you're kind of approaching it

from this weird sophomore approach, but nobody in life. And it's like, it's funny because it's like, right, but my buddy Ray takes a shit a day, and then the president of the United States, he probably takes probably takes two three shits a year and then Margot Robbie She type takes shit like every four years. Nope, they all shit once a day Right thereabouts or thereabouts. Yes drew drew takes a little time off in between deuces, but Most folk they drop a deuce day. All right, notice that part that we don't like to think about but there it is

There it is. It's a equivalent of the deuce a day policy. right, notice that part that we don't like to think about, but there it is. There it is. It's the equivalent. It's called the deuce-a-day policy. Yeah. It's like if somebody hacked into your camera and your computer and it saw you picking your nose. On one hand, it's funny. On the other hand, you couldn't hold it against a politician for picking his nose. So those are the one and two. Then there's like this third part, which is the part of everybody does it, but we can still bust you for it. Sort of personal stuff. It's the Polak joke or the black joke or the Mexican joke or the chick joke.

Or yelling at somebody, that kind of thing. Yeah, get your wits in with your assistant and teeing off on them or yelling at the engineer or whatever it is, right? That's the part where we all pretend like we've never told a Polak joke or we've never teed off on our kids or Alec Baldwin calling his daughter a little piggy girl or something like that. Like no one's ever got to their wits end or raised their voice.

I've been a human being essentially, whether it's with a joke or with a raising your voice to your wife or your daughter or whatever it is. Human imperfections, right? Yeah, that we all have. We like to all dive on as if we'd never done any of this before. And also I've completely separated this from the guys that go out and win us the wars

or who work on the deficit or cure cancer. I don't care if that guy called this bratty teenage daughter a pig. If he's going to go out and cure cancer, let him go. We don't want to stifle him from doing his appointed rounds. And if he delivers mail, I don't care either. That's kind of between him and his daughter and their therapist and whatever it is. And then there's a fourth category. And the fourth category is an actual, here's an email telling Donna Brazil,

here's a couple questions for the debate in advance. Okay, now we're in a strata of, I don't want you to know about this, and it is sort of, this is sort of impeachable stuff. You know what I mean? Impeachable stuff are financial material, they don't want them to have. Yeah, now for me-

So personal, what do you call that? Oh yeah, yeah, look, there's a criminal side of it where they're stealing your identity or something like that, I get that. But what I'm saying is, for me, I only go one, two, and three. Personal behavior, I get that but what I'm saying is okay. Just for me. I only go one two and three I get I don't have the fourth. I don't have the fourth part where I'm trying to smuggle in Plutonium so I can make a nuclear device either and that's why I'm sort of bothered by people that are bothered by the

Monitoring of the Alexa, right? I'd only really worried about the fourth level. That's all that would really concern me. Well, we have a thing, it's been going on since the Patriot Act. The Patriot Act was enacted, Gary, in 2003, 2004, something like that, as I recall. And I could remember sitting in the middle of Hollywood... Uh, 01. 01. Right after...

Okay. So, 01. And I remember sitting in the middle of Hollywood and a comic writers table of about 13 writers and having many of them, like, belly-aching. It wasn't 01, it was 03 or 04, but for some reason, somebody brought up the Patriot Act. I guess for the first couple years, it sort of... I think while the buildings were still smoldering,

I think it was like, not a bad plan. And then a couple years in, everyone's like, wait a minute. So it was a couple years in, and a lot of these writers were like, wait a minute. And I was like, oh, so what? Like, I remember just thinking, someone's gonna, the NSA is gonna check out your emails and find what? You're writing some jokes or something or whatever it is.

It's possible that maybe if it was a little later than you were thinking, in 05 and 06, it was renewed and amended and changed a little bit. Well, maybe it came up, maybe it was 05 and it got renewed. But the point being is it was something sort of, at least universally, if not given a nod, at least given a pass. And then all of a sudden it became,

whoa, the government's after me. Right? Well, it's always, no matter what anyone tells me, you cannot get me to believe otherwise, it's always narcissism. Because you always hear people going, I don't want some stranger in Quantico, Virginia, reading my emails.

You know, it's like, they're not reading your emails, they're looking for words like crockpot and ball bearings and jihad and things like that. You're so sensitive to that because your mom had that mentality all the time about everything, right? She was always like, that's the man doing this and the rich people doing that. And they're all, right?

No, I mean, yes and no. I'm sensitive to it because for other reasons, probably stemming from my family, which is, oh, who cares about you? And I got a good dose of that for my family. And now I look at it this way. Look, if my own family members didn't give two shits, what the hell's the guy in NSA care about?

Railroading me. You have to understand, it's kind of like in a weird way. It's like to love somebody or to kill somebody almost takes an equal amount of energy. to love somebody or to kill somebody almost takes an equal amount of energy. It takes energy, like a lot of energy toward that person. I'm not talking about getting drunk and running them over. I mean, like plotting their demise. You know what I mean?

And I just don't believe that the government has that kind of energy for anybody because it can't afford to. How could they? Because as I've always said, and I would always say, the government, they're gonna read someone at this writer's tables emails, they're gonna decide that this person's guilty of espionage or something.

They're then what, gonna railroad that person, take that person away from their family and lock them up at Guantanamo Bay or something at what cost, at what price. And then all the government wants is avoid another 9-11 so we don't have civil unrest. So we can keep collecting taxes. That's all I think they want. And that's whatever they say, that's all they want. They need a populace that can get up and go to work,

that can take commuter trains and buses without fear of being blown up or blown up in the lobby of the building they work in so that they can make money and then give the government 35 to 40% of the money they make. That's what the government's interested. They gotta keep the peace so that we can go out and earn for them.

They're sort of like, I don't know, it's like a crime family. They got other crime families in Chicago. We gotta make sure that we keep peace with the Gambinos over there because there's blood running in the streets and none of us are gonna make any money. We gotta get back to our racketeering

and our women, our money, you know, money laundering and hooch and whatever it is. We got a business to run here. So I gotta once in a while go talk to the Don from the other family, who you think I hate, he may hate me, but we gotta keep the peace so we can get the money rolling in. And that's kind of what I think the government wants to do.

Nothing in it for them to railroad one of the riders into Guantanamo. So on the other hand, they may come across some information and here's the problem. We don't know what they come across per se because they don't always share it with us, but I'm sure that they've come across lots of useful tidbits that have prevented many a disaster.

So don't care. But again, part of that narcissism that you and I don't possess and it's crazy as you hear all the Trump news stories as we were coming into the inauguration about, he's gunning for black folk and he's gunning for Hispanics and I'm a woman and I'm scared. There was a quote From last week when Martin Luther King the third went met with Trump and he was like down the lobby and there's like reporters young

He's somebody told us yesterday that they he was gonna take black people literally line them up. What? Literally not not fear to believe he's gonna line up black folk. And do what? Get rid of them, man. Absolutely. And I just think we should stop calling it fear and start calling it what it is, which is narcissism. It's not that these people are actually fearful, because if they were actually fearful-

They'd do something, they'd'd move fear makes you do things fear makes you uh lazlo gorog ended up in north hollywood and as my grandfather because jews were getting rounded up and somewhere around 1938 39 he sort of as a diminutive Jew himself. Became fearful and moved. Right, because there seem to be actual Jews being rounded up. It happened to my family. My grandfather was in Ukraine and there was pogroms and tsarists and Bolsheviks running across his city

every couple days and he went up, I'm out of here. Based on actual family members, friends and and folks in the community being around. Guns being fired in the street constantly. And being rounded up, putting the cattle cars and taken away, never coming back. Repeatedly, yes. Right. Not afraid that might happen.

Right, so we don't have, so when you do see that, you pick up and you don't go to Canada, you fly across oceans to go places where you don't speak the language and start anew. So if you really thought there was a chance of this happening, whatever you were, maybe you're a female or you're gay or whatever it is,

I think you'd pretty much find yourself setting up shop in Vancouver, wouldn't you? All right, so before we hop the phones once again, not fear, narcissism. 100%. I've never, I've never, the people, the way they speak, you know, the target on their back and gunning for whatever. It's hysteria and delusion too though.

I mean, there's a lot of hysteria. Yeah, but it is, it's narcissism. I know in the corner of those people's brains, there's a lot of hysteria. Yeah, but it's narcissism. I know in the corner of those people's brains, there's a little corner of their brain that shares our biology and that thinks like a human being and realizes they're just gonna get up and go to work the next day.

It's just it. But here's what I always say. If these horrible things don't come to fruition, could it slow us down just a little bit when the next proclamation is made? No way. That's my point. Can't we simply go, this didn't happen so?

It's sort of my... I tell you, it's like me asking for apologies from all the shit that I took over the years for things that people attacked me for that, oh, turns out I was right. It is weird that- I want apologies from those people, but no, they don't learn.

They're just onto something else. Yeah, they're onto something else, but it's my whole thing where, it's my thing where if you write for the New York Times and in June you announced that Brexit's gonna bankrupt England and then it turns out they had a great year, can we not listen to you on these matters? Now, if you wanna go ahead and start writing obituaries,

and we'll go ahead and read that, but I mean, when you then chime in and go, let me tell you what's gonna happen financially if Trump starts lowering the corporate tax or does a thing, why do we have to listen to you? As a matter of fact, I'd rather listen to a stranger because you got this one 100% wrong. Yes? Yes.

Okay. And by the way, I'd be happy to listen to somebody that does a little self-assessment, like start out with, you know, I thought this, I got this wrong, I've looked at the facts, based on, I've learned a little something. I would tend to listen to that person as well, but just moving on to the next thing.

No. You're basically, you know, Jimmy the Greek, you just won 0 and 16 for this week, and you're going, I got some locks for next week.

Brian, 30, Switzerland. Wow. Hi, thanks for having me on. I've been a huge fan of both of you for a long time and first time calling. Thanks. Wait, wait, wait. What are you doing in Switzerland? So I'm in graduate school here. I'm doing a PhD in systems biology. I've lived in Europe most of my life, so it's not so out of the ordinary for me to be here.

And is it in German? No, everything's in English. Basically all the research at the university level is in English. Oh, everything's in English. Like basically all the research at the university levels in English. Oh, how interesting. Yeah. All right. So there that's what university you're at? It's called the ETH Zurich or Swiss Federal Institute of Technology. Sounds official. Not so well known in the US, but it's actually considered one of the better universities in Europe. And when you say systems biology, what does that mean? It's like molecular systems biology. So we use computational methods and like high throughput analytical chemistry technology

to describe cellular processes on a systems level using mathematical models and statistical methods. Fantastic. What are you working on now? So I'm working on the interaction between metabolism and Tor signaling, which is a signaling network that basically controls cellular growth and replication. Does it make you insane when people want to make sweeping generalizations about diet and nutrition when here you are?

Yeah. about diet and nutrition when here you are. Yeah, it's really amusing to pay attention to sort of trends in nutrition science and you eat this and don't eat that. It's insanely complicated. It's insanely complicated. This is how you know you know it, talking to somebody who knows what they're talking about because it's so complicated you can't possibly derive any sort of conclusive recommendations about it. It's too complicated. You can talk in sweeping generalities

about maybe in sort of a physiological term, but all these biological stories are all bullshit. They're just all bullshit. I agree. I was floating in my freezing swimming pool today, Brian. Yeah. Yeah. Speaking of metabolism,

how's your tour mechanism going? I don't know, but my balls hurt. So what is the, tell us a little what you learned between the metabolism and the biology and all that stuff. Well, what do you want to know specifically? He's way into the weeds. Well, describe, how about this? Are there specific metabolic events that are affecting the intracellular mechanisms you're

looking at? So, I'm studying the most fundamental processes that happen here. So, I don't even work in human cells. I'm using yeast as model organisms. So it's very, very basic stuff. And I'm basically just trying to figure out how do cells know when they're supposed to grow and when they're not supposed to grow. And you can imagine their implications for cancer and aging and synesthesia.

Grow or divide? You mean replicate? No, I mean like actually like synthesize biomass in response to extracellular cues. So to putting out proteins and things like that. Exactly. Like protein biosynthesis, ribosome biogenic. So this stuff, Adam, we don't get to talk about this for a while, but this shit, this was my thing.

I failed Mr. Dilleberti's class in the 10th grade and that was biology, and then all I got to take was science. Life science. Well, it was euphemistically called science, but it really just was code for dumbos over here. Science. This is Brian's real science.

There's mold grows on this bread if you leave it under this glass for a week. I was trained in biology too. I love this stuff. But I sort of, even in college I was always gravitating towards neurobiology though, so neurophysiology and things. But anyway, so your question is? So yeah, actually it's ironic that you say that because I'm actually kind of disillusioned with this process that I'm in. I've been in doing this PhD for almost three years and I really just don't have the passion for fundamental

research that I see in some of my colleagues who go on to be really successful and it's kind of horrifying because I've been studying this stuff for 10 years and it hasn't grabbed me in a way that I would actually want to dedicate a whole career to continuing this type of work. What do you think? I'm really thinking clinical psychology because I've done a lot of therapy and I'm really interested in sort of the process of transforming human behavior through dialogue and interaction. Do you want to be a therapist?

Well, that's what I don't know, because the opportunity cost is really prohibitive for me because to go back to do an undergrad in psychology, I think I'm too old for that, and I think I would miss out. It would cost me a lot of opportunity in other areas. I wouldn't be surprised if you could find a school of psychology that would let you do some summer classes and sort of get you on into it. I would not be surprised. However, I just have a feeling that psychoneurobiology

might be really more your thing. I just have a feeling that psychoneurobiology might be really more your thing. That's what I was thinking. Like moving into sort of a molecular psychiatry thing, looking at sort of the brain mechanisms involved in psychiatry. We're living in a, I think our New World Order is, I'm gonna do a show on Spike about building because I like building and I like doing comedy.

So now I'm just gonna take two things that I like and just put them together. And you can do that in any profession. Nowadays, but if you're not feeling it, I would never argue with feelings. You know what I mean? I mean, I argue with the feelings when my daughter tells me

she feels disrespected because I closed the door while she was talking, then I explained to her I couldn't hear her because the music was too loud in the next room, and she says, this is the way I feel. You've disrespected me. I can argue with those feelings. But when you have those little feelings like, you know, I just don't want to be here.

I don't want to do this anymore. I just can't see myself doing this for the next 40 years or whatever it is. Don't ever ignore those feelings Yeah, and you're smart guy. You can apply it to anything And I would urge you go go look at the work of Alan Shore and the general topic of interpersonal neurobiology And you see if that doesn't turn you on I bet you I'm gonna and that's an area of that's the future I'm gonna bet you that that will be a nice synthesis of all these things you do and I bet you you could find a training program. I bet you because you're too good. You're too well trained too good a mind for someone to want to put you know you know what I mean. So I'm

gonna go out and put I'll try this guy I'll take a risk. All right. Now let's go to Colin from our great Colin 36 Now let's go to Colin. From our great mind to Colin. 36. Pittsburgh, man. Oh, go Steelers. Yeah, how's it going? Good, man. What's going on?

Well, it seems that last weekend I was drinking by myself at home. Girlfriend was hanging out with her girlfriend and her sister FaceTimed me, you know, through the phone. We got to chatting around midnight and I just was kind of casually flirting, but definitely flirting. I told my girlfriend about it the next day, kind of said sorry, and she's pretty pissed, especially because it's the second time this has happened. So hold on now.

I'm a little confused by the I told my girlfriend about this part. Yeah, I was feeling real guilty. I felt horrible. That's a weird one. And then also, what's with the sister FaceTiming you at midnight? Yeah, what's up with the sister? Well, my girlfriend and I are about six months in, but it's going really well. I can tell.

She told me that every boyfriend she's had in the past, her sister has flirted with, tried to actually kind of touch them and get them to like her more than they like my girlfriend. What, well, first off, how old's your girlfriend? She's five years younger than me. 31. Yeah.

Thanks for not just spitting out a number though. Thank you for getting me to have to do that. I'm not good with numbers, Aisman. No, that's why, you just say how old you're, okay. How old's the sister? She's the same age as me, 36. I just had this thought. I noticed that my kids were arguing about I don't know what

and I was just kind of saying, I find myself just going, look, please just move on, moving on. Let's get onto something. And they're like, but do I, but because Sonny, no, because Sonny, he said I didn't, and I'm like, just okay. Yeah, good, I don't know. And your dad, he said, I was shooting the basketball and he stood in front of me and he waved, I didn't wave. Dad, I was shooting the basketball

and he stood in front of me and he waved. I didn't wave my arms. I was letting you shoot. Sonny, you do it every time. And I'm like, and all I can think is, what's going on? I know my time's precious, but your time must be worth something.

I know that it's worth a nickel to my dollar of time, but even your nickel is a nickel, isn't it? What are you doing? It should at least be valuable to her, right? In some fashion. I wouldn't do something you'd rather be doing than yelling about this. I am absolutely amazed at how many, now these are children and I'm hoping I can talk them out of this modality, but when you get into your 30s and you're engaging in this behavior because Just like I get up I get a cheap thrill out of turning the guy on or screwing with my sister or whatever it is

Who are these people? I know what's going on and That you cannot convince me that these are successful people because they couldn't possibly be have enough time to engage in these things Nor could they have not been found out, you know? People that are that sort of evil and diabolical, people sort of don't wanna be around eventually. One way or another. Colin? Yeah, I mean, I can tell you that my girlfriend says her sister's a pretty despicable person

as far as this goes. And they talk all the time. So the reason that I admitted to my girlfriend that I'd done this is I know that her sister would have come back and said, hey, guess what I did? All right, well there you go. So that's what he said.

You didn't feel guilty. Yeah, she said I felt guilty. You'll feel guilty or you know you're gonna be outed. So there you go. All right, so now you basically got in a hit and run and you look down on your bumper and realize the license plate was gone and it's at the scene of the accident. Absolutely.

And you're not turning yourself in because it's the right thing to do. Marshals are coming to your apartment, so you may get there before they get to you. I love how people do that. I do too. Hey man, I'm guilty. I wish I had a little bit of that wiring too. So Colin, you then, you got drunk and you FaceTimed her, or you got drunk and the phone rang

and it was her FaceTiming you? I guess I'll let you tell that. I sent her a very innocent text. What did it say? It was just an emoji of me like dabbing. I know that sounds stupid. Dabbing? It's a black thing, Drew. It's a stupid dance.

Or it's a move. It's a touch down. I know. Your whole staff did it all at once. I know what it is. Yeah. It's important anyhow. And what did it say? It literally was just that. Just that. And she called back about 20 minutes later.

Yeah. So Colin drew first blood. He reached out to her, feeling buzzed, and he reached out to the sister, and he knows he can get a response from this sister because of who she is, right? So he's doing a kind of dumb drunken thing, and that is something you need to examine, Colin, because at age 36, Jesus Christ, what grade

are you in? I'm in 121st grade or something. What's going on in your life that this is about it? Well, I was thinking, I mean, I was trying to think of steps to take, like maybe just pay if I'm home by myself on a Saturday night, maybe just don't drink when I'm alone. Yeah, what an idea. It's a novelty. How about no text?

You can also not text or whatever, but I get it. Some people go into a little bit of a blackout-y kind of a thing. But where are you working? What's going on? Do you have kids, you're divorced, what's happening? I'm divorced, been divorced for about 11 years. I might not, if you don't mind I don't want to say what I do just a policeman

police yeah all right got it got it go ahead but uh yeah so the divorce thing actually doesn't play a whole lot on me on a daily basis I don't really think about it we've been divorced for 10 years. No kids? No kids. No kids. Okay. Hi, so. Didn't own anything together. Yeah, Colin, look, I'm gonna go sort of overall

gestalt-y here and not so much about you and the sister and the girlfriend and all. I'm just gonna say, hey, you're 36, man. When are you gonna make the move? What's going on? What are we here for? Make the move. Yeah, I've already started saving for the ring. It's in the process, but

There's part of me it thinks now. I don't mean Mary. I'm not talking about marrying her. I'm talking about our life Throw it up. What's going on? Yeah, I might where I'm at in my job is I'm doing very well and I'm Moving up the ranks the way I need to be. Fireman, I got it wrong. Yeah, all right, well look,

you may wanna look at your drinking. And I might approach the, and you may also wanna try to get your girlfriend, I don't know, maybe it's just something, maybe it's a- Set the sister straight or divorce herself from this girl. That's a... I know. You know what I've really found? You really... I know it's an old adage, but the two to tango thing. There's a way of completely... I've had... I got some crazy friends. I got some poor friends. I got some dumb family members, I got some whatever, I don't dance with them.

I just don't dance. I just, I kinda just live my life, do what I do, have my friends, make my money, follow my career, focus on my kids or whatever it is. And whatever it is that they're doing, I don't factor it in that much. You know what I mean? I just don't, I don't get, I don't dance it in that much. You know what I mean? I just don't, I don't get, I don't dance with them that much.

There's just a way to not engage. And it's like, I know, but oh, well, what do you want to have? She, she texts me, you know, it's like, don't answer. Oh, absolutely. It's just, just get on. Just, just sort of let her go dance alone. Trouble. Yeah. Right.

This thing where you have to engage constantly. You don't have to engage. You really don't. I mean, it's- Behind that is sort of a spiritual emptiness and a lack of meaning and things, because you're just, you're going from one reward bump to a next, alcohol and then chicks and that, right?

You know what I mean? That's funny, I got a crazy neighbor who does that thing where they're- Another crazy neighbor? No, just... Do they follow you? Do they move into your... They just have unreasonable requests about moving your cars and stuff like that, even when they're not parked in front of driveways or garages or walkways or anything.

And it was funny, Olga, Nanny Olga said, And it was funny, Olga, Nanny Olga said, listen, she said she's got a little bit of a Latin blood thing going on. She's a proud woman, where I'm a broken man. And she'll say, I'll park in front of her house if I have to, like I won't go out of my way, but on the other hand, it's a public street, and if I'm coming the other direction,

I got stuff in my car, whatever, I'll care. I don't care. I Don't care. It's all it's the street. She's crazy. It's got nothing. It's her problem. Yeah, and I go that's healthy I'll never do it and she's like why not I go I'll go around circle around Before the three-point turn and just parking for in the neighbor's house or my house or whatever it is and she'll go I'm not looking for trouble, but I'm also not going to go out of my way to accommodate a crazy person.

And I go, I do. I just stay in the car the extra few minutes and if somebody pulls, if somebody comes to the house and they park in front, I'll go move, just move it down to the next. But unfortunately, most of us do. Yeah. That's sad.

And that's sort of the world we're in now. But I have a life to lead, and I can't be doing what I was doing before, which is driving to Long Beach and getting multiple phone calls about Chris Loxamana's car parked in front of the neighbor's house, perfectly legally and perfectly safely

without any issue or encumbrance of any kind, getting a lot of confusing things from Rob, she's out front again, she's putting another note on that. This is eating into my day, you see what I'm saying? So my thing is I'll just make room for crazy person. That's the way I roll because I gotta go out and I don't need their dime holding up my dollar. All right?

But most people, just please embrace that notion and get on with your life. It's better. Let them be crazy over there. And every once in a while, I'll see her walking out to her car when I'm about to step out the front door and I'll go, I'll just stay in my entry hall, let her get in her car.

Then she pulled up, she's driving down the street. Now I'll walk out to my car. I don't know why she'd like that relationship, but that's the one she created and that's where we're at. And it was her choosing. Okay, that's fine. I got other things to do. Yes?
