A caller wants Adam's thoughts on technical educators as opposed to general education

teachers, something that has resurfaced in recent months or years. And then some COVID vaccine related questions. That should be interesting. So enjoy this show named Dirty Mary Crazy Larry. 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, I get it on, got to get on it.

Drs. He takes the, he's a a he brings a certain panache Just a certain genesis to each and every episode and He's he's a dear. He's a dear friend All right, so yeah a couple calls up there. I have a Question a challenge not really a challenge. This is kind of an open-ended question for you, Dr. Drew. Let's talk a couple of calls and hold for a little while first. Aaron, 42, Fresno. Aaron? Hi, how are you?

Hi, Guy. There it is. Well, I appreciate you guys taking my call. I appreciate it. I've been listening for on and off for years and then a lot during COVID. And then my wife has also been listening to your podcast as well. And she always wants to know what is Drew saying about COVID? What is Drew saying about COVID? So I appreciate that.

Specifically, you know, comedy, common sense, and the medical advice too. What did you say about COVID? So I appreciate that specifically, comedy, common sense and the medical advice too. So for Father's Day, my wife got me, I'm your emotional support animal. And I love the chapter where Adam was just railing on teachers, which is probably odd because I'm a teacher myself, but I come from a background of private enterprise.

I watched my dad run a business as a kid, as a designer myself working in the career. I was never in education until I started teaching graphic design. I have a couple questions. One for Adam, in California, I can't speak to other states, but in California we have CTE education, which is career technical education. And so I want to know if your feelings about those teachers, which I am one of, and the CTE education in general is different than traditional education. Because I think we're doing some pretty great

things for kids. They're making things. Listen, yeah, they're yeah, I'm doing always been Clear on the shop teachers and the vocational people and I you know, hey drew Remember about 25 years ago Remember 25 years ago. We started this whole fecacda. We got to save the music in the schools like hi I'm sheryle music is the most important Was music that fucking important or learning a fucking trade trade But they're telling us how but when you learned music it would open up your world This whole fucking jack-off into a ceiling fan

Bullshit this shit is 25 years old now Bullshit. This shit is 25 years old now. Oh yeah. Yeah. Now who used to say, I don't give a fuck if we save music. I want shop classes. I want vocational training. You used to talk specifically about machine shop, like you know, car mechanics. Where'd that go? It just vanished. But remember all that magical thinking about once you teach someone the glockenspiel it opens up the rest of the world. What happened to that retarded thinking? I well, you know, remember having such an important thing we had to save the music. Yeah, it was kind of

the beginning of all this shit. They're fucking ramming down our asses. So he likes what you're doing. Yes. That's the bottom line here. He digs what you do. I appreciate that. And I appreciate it and I think teachers do as well. And I appreciate you guys. I have a question for Drew as well. Can I ask that? Yeah, yeah, please. So my wife and I prior to Christmas, my wife and I and my four-year-old all tested positive for COVID. I have three other, so I have four daughters. So my four-year-old tested positive, my wife and I both tested positive.

I'm 42. I felt like we got through it pretty easily, pretty well. The hardest part was not being able to taste anything for two weeks. I don't mean to take anything away from people who have really struggled. But my question for you specifically is regarding vaccination, I heard, it's about two days ago, I heard somebody speaking and I'm paraphrasing, but they were talking about people who previously had COVID.

And then who had received the first round of vaccination saw having up to 10 times the antibodies and they were suggesting that potentially people who had covid could get one round of shots potentially and not 100% is that 100% particularly if you had moderate covid moderate or severe, you can definitely have one shot. And the people that have had COVID or are getting the vaccines are also more likely

to have adverse reactions to the vaccine. So prepare for that. We're gonna have Johnson & Johnson's vaccine out there pretty soon. I was more enthusiastic about that vaccine before some of the data started coming out. There's a Novavax vaccine coming. Let me read you their data.

98% overall efficacy in the B1.1.7, that's the variant. 96% against the original strain, 96% with one shot, and in the South African variant, 50 to 60% efficacy. So I am looking at this Novavax vaccine with a lot of enthusiasm. Now, what Dr. Fauci has recommended is that you get vaccinated within three months of your illness, you're sort of in that window.

There's no hurry. There's another way to do it too. You can get something called a, you can get an antitick score it's called. That's what I'm doing. This company I work for, where I'm following my antibodies, they're way high right now.

They're 10 times vaccine levels now. And I'm gonna wait till they drop before they get the vaccine for two reasons. One, I don't wanna take the vaccine from someone who needs it. And B, the second reason, I don't wanna have a huge reaction to it. I'm done with it.

But I'm just gonna take one vaccine. I'm just gonna do one. Great. And we have the opportunity to get a vaccine potentially in March through our school districts. So I'm wondering, should I wait on that or should I? I'm also thinking about giving some plasma. Part of that is being able to find out what my antibodies are. Yeah, I think they you're sure I don't want to discourage you from giving plasma, but by all means give the plasma. We need that. We need that no matter what.

You probably aren't going to have a lot of high-level neutralizing antibodies in your system. It's moderate and severe COVID that tend to have that. But still, we could use your plasmid. Don't worry. We'll use it. And they will give you some understanding of where you are. But I suspect you ought to kind of proceed with the vaccine when you're able. Thank you so much. And can I give a shout out to one of your other callers? Yeah, sure. I got a guy's phone number. As I mentioned, I teach CTE. And a guy named Andy Smith with andysmithart.com called in.

He was a comic book artist. He was with you guys a couple weeks ago. Yeah, yeah. So part of teaching CTE, I try to get guest speakers in. So I reached out to Andy Smith, who's going to be a guest speaker for my students virtually on March 18th. So I wanted to give a shout out to him and thank you guys for bringing us together. So I'm always trying to get guest speakers and he worked out perfectly. Thanks, Aaron. When are you heading back? Any dates of heading back into the classroom?

So, well, my youngest kids in elementary school school been going back since mid-December. My 13-year-old, she started back this week. No, no, for you. For you. Yes. I go back, my high schoolers, we go back March 9th for one day per week in-person instruction with our kids. One day a week?

I'm really, really excited about it. They're following the science, Adam. You're following the science. One day a week? Yeah. One day per week, but I'll take what I could get at this point. I miss my kids. Yeah, I get it.

Thanks, man. One day a week. That's... Follow the science. Follow the science. Yeah. Makes no sense to do that whatsoever. What's this open-ended question?

Well, no. One day a week is quiet. One day a week is so you can say schools have reopened. Right, right, right. Remember when that group was making fun of Reagan for calling ketchup a vegetable? Yes. This is equally as retarded. Your school is closed 80% of the time. Is that, is school open? But not 80% of the time. But you'll just count that as open.

Right. Technically it's open. How dare you? I don't know if that's technically open if it's one day a week. I would argue the open is gotta be the over-unders two and a half days a week. I mean, I wouldn't- And why one day? Why what?

Because it's super insane. Because it's them imposing more shit on you so it makes us think they know something. That's what we were talking about on Monday. We can't get, we can't let this thing go. Gotta keep it alive. One day a week? God, I wish I was fucking in school now. Hey Gary, see if you can find

any of those PSAs of Save the Music. By the way, if I ever go on a jag about something, might as well just start looking for it because I'm going to circle back and want to know about it. But these are like, oh you are, these are like, I don't know, Sheryl Crow and whoever, this stuff from the 90s. Yeah. It's funny, I don't know Cheryl Crow and whoever this stuff from the night Yeah, it's funny you don't hear any talk about how important music is anymore do you It was a big deal. It was super important Well, you would think you would think those people that thought music was so important when the school closed they'd be extra worried Oh, yeah, it's a good good, right. It's so important. Now they can't get access to any of that. Hey, Scott, 38 Sacramento. Hey, Adam and Drew, how you guys doing? Good.

You got a solution for indoor dining? Yeah. I'll have one quick question after that. But yeah, indoor dining question. I'm wondering, I've asked all my liberal and conservative friends the same question and they all love it. And I can't get this idea out to anyone. And the question is, why, when you go indoor dining, why do they close all the doors? Like, if I go to a restaurant, me and my wife went to brunch this weekend, and they had outdoor dining, and those are spread out, and indoor dining, and those are spread out. But as soon as you get indoors, the doors close, the windows close, everything's closed. And I'm thinking, why don't they just split the difference?

Just get some air inside there and kind of make things. I tend to go to restaurants that have big open windows and I guess I've been in Orange County where there's good weather and stuff. I was just in a restaurant last night here in New York. It was very cold. They had outdoor and indoor. The indoor was completely closed and I think it was really about the weather. But it does raise another interesting question.

Outdoor was also enclosed. It was enclosed with plastic and heaters and it was enclosed. Isn't it, wouldn't it be better just to be inside with a very strong industrial HEPA filter going and UVC lights and all the things that kill the virus and just do that as opposed to an outdoor indoor environment that's neither here nor there.

Yes. Yes. We're not really interested in whatever. We're just fucking idiots. That's right. We're not interested in actually doing that. Right. This is an image of New York outdoor dining that one of my friends who lives there sent

me. Yeah, but look, that's all individual stuff. There's stuff like that with large rooms. People and lots of it. And there are little sent me. Yeah, but look, that's all individual stuff. There's stuff like that with large rooms. Lots of it. And there are little pod bubbles. Yeah. Yeah, I saw that last time. Hey, Adam, I got one more question for you.

Can I give you a guest wish list and you tell me what you think of this list? Yeah. Okay. So, David Goggins, have you thought about having him on? I know who he is and we should have him on. So that would be... Okay. Candidate Platitude.

I haven't heard him in a while. Okay. I want to bring him back. Thomas Soul. We're trying to get Thomas Soul on and we're having trouble. And then final one, anyone in the Bitcoin community? I just want to hear like someone go back and forth with you on that and see if they can convince you. Yeah I'm not not convinced, so just thank you. I have no no ideas.

Do you find that PSA about saving the music? I found one of them. There's there's quite a few but here's one. What year is this from? This is an 03 one. Oh, okay. Super important. So we have a cellist and two violins. I don't say this just because I was a school teacher. It would be devastating for our young people if music was taken out of the classroom because it's something they can latch onto

and find their identity in. When a kid learns how to take that and make it his own, it's amazing. It's really fun to see a child light up like that and to know that they're getting it. Music lets kids shine. Help us keep it in our schools. Join Blue from American Express. Support Save the Music.

Joe Crow. Yeah, you can find older ones. And by the way, I got nothing against it, but no one cares about shop classes. And. Why, while it's important to find your inner shine, I would say it's more important, especially for at-risk youth to learn a trade. Perhaps. Let's put it this way. How many, what percentage of those students do you think would actually become professional musicians

as opposed to... Less than 40%. Yeah. I suppose people who could learn a trade that they would actually earn a living in. Well, it's always been a lament of mine, but it also suggests how we don't do a good job with our society. We have a school system. It was this way when I went to school and it's probably even more so now.

I'm not talking about from district to district, but certainly here in LA, it's like you go to school and the job is to get people off to go to college. And then that works fine for the handful of people that get the grades, have the money, have the wherewithal, have the family and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. But for the vast majority of people, especially the at-risk inner city people, they just go to school for a while and, they just go to school for a while and then they just get dumped out on the streets.

You know what I mean? Like they always talk about these prisoners, you know, they come out, they give them 50 bucks and a bus ticket, you know, they got nowhere to go. Well, it's kind of that way with a lot of students, you know. Myself, when I was done with high school, I just kind of got dumped out on the streets and just started walking around, you know, looking for jobs. How about imagine you're out of the foster care system and once you're 18, no more family. You know what I mean?

A lot of the homeless people were in the foster care system. Right. Now... Were dumped out on the streets. You could start learning a trade and start getting involved with an apprenticeship and then go somewhere as an electrician, a plumber or whatever, there's good money to be made. Yeah.

And, but for some reason, see, here's my beef, Drew. Yeah. My beef is we do a lot of, here's how I wish society was. I wish everyone went to college. There's some sort of fecocca thing about everyone going to college and everyone having a world-class Education and blah blah blah Really want to talk about hey guys got a snake that main line out guys gotta hang some drywall We need HVAC guys like we need those guys. Yeah, that's right

We but it's not romantic and you know what it isn't it's not a goal Yeah, that's right. But it's not romantic and you know what it isn't it's not a goal You know, it's not the future see most of the fucked up stuff that happens in this country is about us going Here's where we need to be You know, here's what the future is. Yeah The future is we all just work for google and we we learn to code Or or we you know, we we we build solar farms or whatever it is Or we, you know, we build solar farms or whatever it is, but they don't like, you know, guys hanging drywall. It doesn't really feel like the future.

That feels like old shit. They need a romantic vision. They don't like anything old. Yeah. Right? And what's older than carpenter? Jesus. Right.

There's nothing older than, they don't like old. They want what's next. You know what I mean? It all feels so old to them. Yeah. Right. There's nothing older than they don't like old. They want what's next. You know what I mean? It all feels so old to them. Yeah. We're going to make houses with a 3d printers. Anyway, we don't need carpenters. Right.
