Boy, another clairvoyant project for Adam. Enjoy. Throwback episode number two, live from the cruise, part two. Recorded live at Corolla One Studios with Adam Carolla and board certified physician and addiction medicine specialist Dr. Drew Pinsky. You're listening to. The Adam and Dr. Drew Show Yeah, the middle, man, the boring part of life. People don't want to do stuff anymore.

Like, they don't want to just go to the garage and putts around and work on their own cars and have their little projects and build a... What's the last thing? But the reality is everyone does. That's the reality. Everyone is focused on their family and really is interested in just what's immediately in their vicinity. Right.

We're all into. Well, we are into it, but then we go. online and care of one a new a new A-hole. But let's get the metaphor back to our cruise here. How do we use this to build community and build

a healthier life? The cruise. Is that a metaphor still or is it am I stretching it? No, no, I'm still on my cruise. It's my metaphor. I know. I'm bored of it 27 minutes ago. No, the metaphor

is good. I don't think, I think that people understand that when people enter a stadium, some people enter a stadium, they've realized that everyone there has entered, volitionally entered the stadium, you know. And when you enter a cruise of vessel like this, you realize that everyone here is sort of here for the same purpose or at least close to it. Yeah. See how fat I can get.

three and a half days. And so much cheese shake I can eat without remember eating it. That's really the battle cry. But so when we enter a stadium, everyone kind of goes, all right, we're here. And I think people, I think most people would agree on this concept. And you see it all the time. If you watch Monday night football, they have the fans in the stands, and the guys of Baltimore Ravens fan.

And then you got the Sanford, 49ers fan or the Oreo fan who's next year. And they're like the cameras on them and they're all waving. The guys like, eh, the guys like eh with the jersey, you know. But like we're all fans. Like we've entered the stadium. We entered the boat. I think if you take a look, if you think about it,

guys who enter the octagon have much more respect and decorum for one another than our two political parties have. Oh, absolutely. They realize, okay, this guy's coming in here. He's coming in here. He wants to put his knee through my orbital socket, but, and I'd like to put my knee through, or my elbow through his orbital socket, but when we're done, I have respect for him because they entered this place. And we'll fight with rules. We will fight with rules. And then we will hug it out at the end, and I might even bow, depending on my discipline of martial arts. Yeah, we've lost the mutual respect. Right. So what I'm saying is, is entering the ship, entering the stadium, entering the octagon, I think you kind of get it. And I think people sort of get it when they go to the Costco in their community. And all I'm saying is the United States is just one big octagon. It's just one big cruise ship. It's one big Costco. It's one big stadium. Start treating it that way. Yeah. We've all entered. I mean, we're all here. We didn't all come over here on a boat. But somebody,

thought it was a good idea to come to this country. Yes. Somebody in the not too distant past came here. I know Drew's been here for several hundred years, or slave owners, blah, blah, blah. I don't want to get into it. But my family were destitute. They came here with a dream, okay?

Drew's family, long, rich history of owning slaves, and even after the Civil War refused to give many of them up. But that's his story. My story is, my story is, is one of pageantry and heroism. True. What? Nothing. Yeah.

Okay. My family came here to cure cholera. Drew's family came here to collect tokens known as slaves and make money off their back. But that's not the point. The point is, is everybody entered this vessel known as the United States. If it wasn't you, it was your parents. I don't know how far, like my mom's side was here for a while. My dad's side.

Same thing. Both parents came from Italy to come here to have a better life and to share. Not to have a better life in a bubble, to share a better life. And so everybody is on this vessel from all different places in the United States and beyond. We're all here for sort of the same reason to sort of live and let live and enjoy ourselves and have this communal experience. And if you treat the United States that way, and if we thought of the United States

a little more globally that way, we would have a much easier go of it. Yes, Drew? Yes. I mean, what it gets brought up when you say things like that is, well, certain populations were brought over here. Well, your parents brought slaves here.

To do their bidding. Right. And so, but still, my parents were a humble spaghetti farmer. But still your point is valid that we need to all just focus on the community. Well, now look, all right. So we're all on the boat is what I'm saying. Yes, I got you.

And, you know, everyone has a different past, and everyone's a journey to the ship was different. But here, that's the point. Here we are. Here we are. Here we are. Let's really make a go of it. Let's make a go of it.

That's what Drew is saying. Speaking of that, people brought in questions. Oh, they did. Speaking of me entering the octagon. Oh, okay. I heard some people saying they wanted to bring questions. They're not here, though. They're not here.

They're not here. No, there's one guy. But you did? You heard people saying they wanted to bring questions? Yeah. We do have a mic here. Let me up. Yeah, and these guys were ready for it.

Oh, all right. Well, maybe if you weren't late, I would have been tuned up on this. Hello. So I have two questions. One series, one not so serious. Dr. Drew, I tried a few years ago to get the E-T. but they said that was too old. Right.

And I said, well, that's old size. I try to like... Yeah, yeah. They've expanded it, probably since you tried. Oh, they have. Yep. Where did it cut off before? We used to be 28 or something.

Now I think it's in the 40s or something. They are... 46. 46. Mm-hmm. So it's expanded. And somebody enlightened would go beyond that, it seems to me. It's like my grandfather used to say,

Warts doesn't ask to see your birth certificate. And I was nine at the time. So I was like, I didn't know what that means, Pappy. But now his words ring true. Yes, Drew? Oh, yes. Yes. I hope he had a conversation.

This is your grandmother's husband, yes? Lotzy Gorox, right. Non-slave owner, Drew, not like your family. Came here to make an honest living, not off the backs of others. Go ahead. The whole HPV story is, you know, expanded in terms of the incidents of had neck cancer's going up, and I'm just thinking about your grandmother and lack of understanding of rim jobs.

Oh, yeah. She didn't have a real clear understanding of rim jobs. It's all important stuff. Mm-hmm. All right. I'm going to... All right, let me just say what my argument would be. Here's my argument.

All right, couple things. Drew... I got so much to say about this. I'm going to make an argument that I think it's going to benefit you. There's nothing mutual about this relationship. Let's start with that. So where we're going, he ain't going to be

a mile backer. Here's my argument for being at top. Please hear me out. God, I've had to make this argument so many times. Oh my God. It's like every time I go camping, I got to pull this argument out every single time. Raping or camping? Camping. Well, it started off

as camping. All right, first off, I'm not girthy. All right? So no harm, no foul back there. So Drew has an exceptionally wide hog, so that's a deal breaker right there. Number two, I'm also exceptionally hairy back there. So that can be problematic, okay? As Adam has pointed out to me, it's like, come on, Drew.

It's like trying to find Santa Claus's mouth. Oh, wow. Oh, okay. And good luck, finding Santa Claus's mouth. That's not what you want in a bottom, okay, people. Thank you for the drink, my dear.

So, for those two arguments, and I could keep going, but those are two of the most robust arguments I can make for being the top. I would be the top. In terms of rational arguments, it's hard for me to, To come back with that.

Yeah, Drew's got, Drew doesn't have hair on his body, right? Not really. No, Drew, your coolly, like when you see those, what? Cooley.

Cooley means butt. Oh. Well, it also means you built a railroad, but it means it's Italian for butt. You're coolie. Okay, okay. You don't know your coo? Okay, Kulo like culo in Spanish.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's Italian for, for butt. Your ass cheeks. yourself. Coolie is a butt. Especially I'm talking to be working your coolly. You're working the coolly. Oh no, wait a minute.

You're going to be working mine. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm on top. Yeah. Yeah. Anyway, Drew has no hair upon his body, so that makes him the de facto bottom, right?

I see. He sort of you... So it makes me the... I've seen kids in this... Makes me your bitch is what you're saying. I've seen kids. Like, ever see this? is those late night St. Jude cancer

research commercials with the kids on? They have a little more hair than me. I've seen those kids who have more hair than you have on your fucking body. I'm sorry I had to take a turn for the macabre. But it's true. It's just a fact. All right. Are there other questions out there?

Were those both questions? That was two? Oh, up front here. Up front. He's run. Give him the mic. I'm just curious if you got that. Yeah, I know what is that.

I know what that is. It's like chocolate or something. What happened, Drew? He got something on it. He's a man of exquisite passion. He's got something on his pants. Yeah. Yeah.

Is it off now? Off. All right. But speaking of expanding the crowd here, I was thinking next time bringing my kids. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Yeah.

Don't do it? I don't know. They judge, you know? They'll be 27 then. They will judge. I don't need a bunch of young shits judging me. But maybe we all brought our kids. We could have another, you know.

Oh. Oh. Create a super yachting group. No, no, no, no. Okay. Do you want, there's going to be much, like, not, maybe not your kids. There's a bunch of snot-nosed little shits

running around the ship, and I'm going to Hey, buddy, they're going to go, I'm not a buddy, I'm a they. And you're going to go, oh, fuck. Really? Hey, they. Can I get in front of you at the buffet, they?

Jesus Christ. They get out of the way? Everyone under 25 is a pile of shit, Drew. No way. I know my kids suck. That's why they're at home. They're landlocked. So, a little sort of

stuff has come my way lately where I've noticed my kids are like feeling sort of subsumed by my career, my life and stuff and they're starting to complain about it. That's why we didn't bring them on this. They'd be like, oh, it's your crores. Oh, really? Yeah. Subsumed. Like they want like that word. They want to do, make it on their own. And I not. Into cloud.

I don't know why. I don't know why looking at the comedian on the ship, Steve White's back there, right? Am I looking at you, Steve White? Yeah, good. How are you? Steve, I don't know if you do this with your shitty kids, but I do. Which is like, you go out, you spend a weekend, you do a bunch of shows, you do a bunch of gigs, you get paid several thousand dollars, but it's like in a form of a check.

And you don't get to shove it in your kid's face. But my favorite thing to do is if you go out and do like the improv or the comedy store, they give you $300 bucks cash. I don't know why, but they just give you $300 bucks of cash. and then I go out and I come home at like 9.30 at night and I always walk right in my son's bedroom on like Thursday night and I fan myself with the 300 bucks and I go

it's so hot in here so hot and he goes what what is that and I go it's 300 bucks bitch and he goes what's that for and I go for telling jokes you know how you want me to shut up all the time when I'm talking yeah well these people saw fit to give me $300 And then my son always gets real serious.

He goes, how long we talk? I don't know, 20 minutes? 20 minutes? They give you $300? I was like, yeah. Oh, Drew's phone is blowing up. It's Pluto. We got online.

Yeah. Chances is 585. Thank you. Hang on. I got something to say. I notice you only walk into your son's room fanning the bills. Yeah. Not your daughter.

My daughter does a couple things. She already has a fan going when you walk in. I understand. I understand. I get that. My daughter is, I don't know, is it disrespectful to call her Starfucker? She, maybe it is. I don't know.

She, like, her old thing is like, oh, can we go to Uncle Jimmy's show and watch Sean Mendez? And I was, you know, what I do with my sister, my daughter is Sean Mendez or whoever. Like, she wanted to go there to see Magic Johnson. I don't know, she's a little out of his demo, but she's like, she went to see Magic Johnson, I think one of her friends, whatever, but she's sort of unfazed by the whole thing. My son is much more sort of nuts and bolts with the go out, talk, get paid, come home,

kind of thing. Yeah, he gets it. She doesn't, like, my daughter hopes that I die and that Jimmy adopts her. That's really, it's her. Well, I mean, look, I'm being realistic. Like, she literally says, like, Jimmy's, he's my guy. godfather, right? I'm like, yeah.

And it's like, so if you ate a poison tuna fish sandwich, for instance, are you hungry, pops? Then we would live at his house, right? I just remember your relationship with her turn when she was about two, and he went to pick her up, and

she used to announce when her diaper was full, and when you try to pick her up, he'd go, poo, poo, poo, she would to try to push out of the way. Oh, God, that's a sad realization, which is my daughter didn't like me being in the house you know so it's like

come near and she go poo-poo poop I'd go to pick her up I have a poop-poo well she figured out like she figured out at like two and a half that if I went to go pick her up and that you know the night nurse or Lynette or whoever was in the house whoever I was paying to raise my kids at the time I didn't know who I'll be paying when they're in their 40s

I guess I'll have to carve out a trust fund or something. Like, who's going to raise my kids when I'm dead? And they're in their 40. Someone's going to have to raise them. So somebody figured out, my daughter figured out, that when I would reach for her when she was two and a half, and she was like in her diaper. And I'd like grab her and go like, oh, come here, Natalia.

And then the nurse would go like, oh, she's got a poo-poo diaper. I'd go like, oh, okay, okay. And I'd set her back down. So after a couple of those sessions, my daughter, who's not a fan, realize that if I reached for and picked her up and there was no night nurse to hit me in the head with a snow shovel,

I'd just pick her up and she'd go, oh, pooh, poo, poo, and I'd go, oh, oh, yeah, okay, and I'd set her back down again. She'd go back to watching SpongeBob and not have to be manhandled by her dad. It's interesting, right? Sad? Both.

Interesting? Both. But so I imagine... I wonder if that'll carry under her 30. Like her husband starts hugging her, poo! Pooh! Oh, okay. Oh, you shit yourself again.

All right, well, we should go home from the Olive Garden then. This is the worst anniversary ever. So I'm also imagining you don't walk in and do that with... What's the nanny's name? Olga. Olga. Olga. You don't do that to Olga.

She's part of your family. Yeah, right. Yeah. But certainly you do that with Lynette. Do you walk in? I hug her. She goes. poop.

That's what I met. It's... Just for Sonny gets that $300 treatment. No, yeah, it's true. Yeah, Olga doesn't care. It is interesting that... Well, no, actually, something that was funny,

which was... I was... I do try to impart some wisdom every once in a while to the kids. And the problem is, is they all have these smartphones, you know? So I said to, I don't think I told you this, but I said, I was talking about it on my podcast,

but I said to my daughter, I said, so listen, I've been doing stand-up all year and I've just been doing it, you know, when I can, probably two or three nights a week, just kind of for free, essentially for free. Like, you know, $300, fanning myself in front of my son is great. But I've not been doing it for the money. I've been doing it for sort of the workout and the challenge. and blah, blah, blah. So I had made this New Year's resolution to go out X amount of days a week, every week this year, and do stand-up just because.

And I live in La Cognada, and there's no stand-up clubs that are central to La Cognada at all. You have to go to the Ice House, but there wasn't anything going on. The Ice House had to go to the improv and the laugh factory and the comedy store. And that's a long schlep from where we live, basically, to go in at night after I already worked all day. But I was trying to impart some wisdom to my daughter. And I said to her, I had been going out all year doing stand-up for free, essentially, just on my own, just because I wanted to get better. And then when I got the call to do the Baldwin roast on Comedy Central, I was sort of ready because I'd been working. out the whole time. Now, it's different environments, different jokes, it's different everything,

but you're on your feet. The sort of muscles or joints are lubricated, like you're like an athlete who's not really been training for a sport, but you've been in the gym. And now someone pointed at the sport. And now you're kind of ready to go. You're not having to get out of bed and drop 40 pounds and blah, blah, blah. So I said to my daughter, I said, now listen, I've been doing, I'm going to give you a story. And I'm going to explain. you what daddy's been doing and why this has worked out and she did the, oh, guys, here we go, poo-poo. You know, and it's like, you're 13, sweetie.

You didn't shit yourself while we're talking. And she's like, okay, here we go with the lesson. And I go, yeah, here we go with the lesson. And I go, I realize, I go, just give me one minute. Give me 60 seconds to tell you what I've been doing, what I just did, and why it worked out, and why this is important, and why this is important. you need to do this at some point in your life. And she pulls out her phone and she goes,

okay, 60 seconds. Oh, I did not anticipate that. Normally when I go, give me a minute, it's the entire fucking flight to New Brunswick when I'm talking to somebody next to me at the seat. Like, let me give me a minute. Let me tell you about my parents.

Then we're landing. I've been in that seat, yes. You've been in that seat, right? She pulled out a phone. phone and she went all right get started old man and she hit the clock I spit the whole thing out like 24

seconds yeah yeah she hit the timer and went like all right 24 and then I went alright hear any of it no she didn't hear a fucking word I said she wants me to die so she can hang out with Jimmy well I think you have a film to premiere coming up yeah we do have a film

want to talk about it at all yeah Yeah, yeah, speaking of the boat. Yeah, speaking of the boat. I did a film with Dennis Prager, who's a talk show host. It's funny. Yeah, he's a really good dude.

It's funny because they always go conservative talk show host. They never go progressive talk show host. They just go talk show host. If they're talking about Anderson Cooper, they just go Anderson Cooper. If they're talking about Dennis Prager, they go, conservative Dennis Pranger. like, oh, everyone buckle up.

He's conservative. He's just a good guy who has very sort of brass tacks, opinions on everything. But again, no need to preface it with conservative talk show host. He's a talk show host, just like there's talk show hosts. Cover the entire spectrum. Why do we need to give them a label? Just call them a talk show host. So he and I embarked on this documentary.

But in this documentary, tree is guys we like Jordan Peterson and guys like that are in there but there's everyone from all spectrum so um uh van jones is in this thing and Cornell West is in this thing and Alan Dershowitz is in this thing it covers the entire sort of political right left and in in between as well it'll it they're always trying to kind of spin it as some sort of right wings something. Yeah. But it really isn't.

It's just about free speech and about how it's kind of eroding in this, this country of ours and this notion. I got to tell you, like the scariest things I hear is when people talk about free speech and they go, it's so funny because when you say to somebody, are you for free speech? Everyone has to say yes because it's like saying, do you like dogs? Right. You go, like, of course I like dogs. Nobody can say, no, I kick them every chance I get.

Every time I go to the airport, I just kick one right in the rib cage. You go, are you for free speech? And they go, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm totally for free speech. It's just some speeches hate speech and it needs to be vetted. And it's like, oh, so you're for free speech, but you have to vet it first. Where I'm in charge. Oh, yeah. It's free speech.

I'm in charge of the teleprime. That's not fucking free speech if you're in charge of what's in the teleprompter. It's called free speech, not your speech. Hold on. Thank you. So the movie does a masterful job, if I do say so, myself of exploring that. Yes, true? Yeah, I heard it's good.

I'm going to see it. Oh, good. We're going to see it. So, until next time, this is Adam Carolla for Dr. Drew. Mahalo. At Pluto TV, we're celebrating Black History Month with our free curated collection of Black entertainment. No ifs, ands or buts about it.
