We have time for a throwback from April 2015. We talk about some of the trouble Adams had producing catch a contractor. We also talk about the preparations for that premiere, that night of winning the racing life of Paul Newman. And the car troubles that Adam has been having while trying to get everything ready. And we talk about how I misplaced my wallet and can't think of where it is because of my routine. You know, I have a careful routine, even back then. and when that routine gets violated, I, throws me off completely. And we wrap up, we go to the phones and get some callers talking about things like

prescription causing depression, as well as how molestation and subsequent revenge by a family member can impact the victim. Enjoy this throwback from April 15, 2015. Recorded live at Corolla 1 Studios with Adam Carolla and board certified physician and addiction medicine specialist, Dr. Drew Pinsky. You're listening to The Adam and Dr. Drew's show. Yeah, get it on. Got to get it on.

No choice but to get it on mandate. Get it on. And thank you so much for tuning in. Thanks for telling a friend. Thanks for sharing with a friend. That's what we rely on. You like the show? Good.

Other people like it in your sphere. Well, I walked in this morning. I saw Dr. Drew. I'm pissed off. I saw a bag. look like some groceries in it. I peaked in. There's some carrots and some celery.

And then I saw Dr. Drew's keys in it. And I said, this dude takes care of business. That's what I... Did you do the couple of the steps you could have gone through that? Why wasn't in the refrigerator when he often does that? No. I saw carrots and I saw celery and I thought, that doesn't really need to be refrigerated for a few hours he's here. Exactly.

And it's cool enough out there. and put the keys in the bag so we wouldn't walk out without even though the bag is bulky and even though the bag is right by the front door he eliminated now here's what I'm saying and this is a very good very good way to go through life in the past when I would see the keys in the refrigerator the keys were with the flu vaccination right that needed to be refrigerator Right. The refrigerator as you leave the studios to the left, the front door and Drew's cars to the right. And the world is to the right as well.

Yes, it is. It awaits not politically. But through the glass door. The world awaits, Dr. Drew in his busy schedule. So Drew knows that he could leave this studio, turn right, and be off before he ever remembered about the flu vaccination. Easily. Easily. So terms of you coming in.

knocking out a few shows and turning right and leaving because you don't swing by the fridge before you leave normally. Even if I did, I would have gone with purpose. I would have been looking for food. But it could still have missed the flu vaccine. I don't have the hypervigilance. I could have missed the flu vaccine. What I would say would be this. The probability of Drew forgetting his flu vaccinations would be 40, 50 percent.

Oh, yeah. Easy. Easy. Now, the other situation, his carrots and his celery, his carrots and his celery are in a big shopping bag, you know, with the paper bag, with the paper handles in it, that he has sitting on the table, it's dominating the table in front of the front door. Probability of Dr. Drew missing his big shopping bag on the way out less than 10%. It's certainly significantly less than the flu vaccine, for sure. Right. Now, is everybody listening? Dr. Drew put the keys in the bag as well because it does not matter if it's a coin toss or less than 10%.

Ain't going to happen. Ain't going to happen one modality. That's what I keep trying to explain to people. It's how pilots and aircraft and things work. There's redundancy built in. No error. There's no air. There's no, it's not, well, you land with the landing gear, not retracted in. every once in a while. Right. It's not that. But it's every time. There's a way to significantly reduce, dramatically reduce error.

Error. Yeah. Yes. So what Drew is doing, and I think this is where a lot of people come up short. First, people don't throw the keys in the fridge. That's number one. That's huge mistake. Because what?

There's some barrier to that weird practice. You know what I mean? It seems weird. No, no. I'll tell you where. I'll tell you as as we. as we might my my my my quest to figure out what the fuck is up with everybody and why they're so married to their super ineffective habits yeah here's what I realize it's like 22 year olds

who smoke they never see themselves as 61 year olds who right they never do it's just what is right now yeah I mean my friends at 22 Ray and Chris they sit around with their shirts off six pack abs big veins in our smoking a cigarette, kicking everyone's ass. What do they care? And you tell them, hey, put that down. And they're like, this? Why?

This is what I do in between fucking. This is all I have to keep myself occupied when I'm not fucking. Sometimes I do it while I'm fucking, depending on the position. But you go, yeah, but one day you're going to be 64 and you're going to be doing this and it's going to be, it's going to kill you. Or you're going to have hearts easier. It's going to give you a question. And they go, right now. this is where I'm at now

and sort of how animals think and it's weirdly like it's not going to happen to me mixed with I'll stop I don't even yes but I don't even think it's not going to happen to me it's just it's just it's now it's how animals work when you take the dog to the vet

and you drop the dog off the dog looks at you like oh my god yeah this is my lot in life I'll be raised by this lesbian for the rest of my life with these other strange dogs. And if you could say to the dog, oh, no, no, no, I'm going to run some errands. The doctor's going to run some tests, and I'll be back in a couple hours. I think the dog would probably mellow out a little bit. But the dog is a dog.

Yeah. The dog is right now. Right now. So whether the dog needs to take a shit in front of the Pope or whether the dog is getting its belly rubbed or whether the dog is hungry or horny or whatever or getting dropped. It's now. Yeah. It's right now.

Yep, yep. And I just believe that, I was going to say less evolved, but I'll just say stupid people. Stupid people think right now is forever and it's, or there is no, beyond now. So they can't project into the future. They can't project consequences. They can't imagine things other than now. Stupid people walk toward cops who have their guns drawn on them and flail their arms around and yell, what the fuck? I wasn't doing anything.

They're not projecting. They're living. They're right now. They're not evaluating. They're right now. Yeah, yeah. And I see people all the time wildly overestimate themselves. So when most people have the flu vaccination and they go and they put it in a refrigerator,

they're there right now. Here I am. I'm putting this in. And then they think to themselves as they're setting in, let's not forget this. Well, done and done. It's now. It's now. I'm not forgetting it now, therefore I won't forget it then.

Right. The problem is the same imbecile two hours later is living in right now. And right now is, well, I could use some coffee and I'm running late. Right. Now they're living in their new now. It's new now and old now. It's all now's. Drew and I and others mostly successful.

realize that there will be a new now to just like there's a new now, hey, for dessert, I'd like to have a huge piece of pecan pie, but the new now will be tomorrow morning when you're getting out of bed with extra stretch mark on your belly. You know what I mean? There's always the responsible retirement. Hey, I got some cash in my hand. I want to buy dirigible. There'll be a new now when you're retiring and you want that.

boat money back that you spent 30 years ago to go into groceries. And it's weirdly not just a memory function. No. It's a holding in mind. It's like it's what we call working memory. It's holding a thought in mind across time. Like this is going to be important. I got to hold this thought.

Like I'll need something for retirement. Got to hold that thought there permanently. It's a, it's such a funny, it's such a funny thing because I, then we'll get to Drew and there's a lot. I still have more questions about this. Okay, well, I'll tell you how it works. I'm doing Catch a Contractor. Did you mention that?

I'm sorry. And Catch a Contractor, they give you an earbud. And in the earbud, they tell you things. Everything from move over, you know, you're blocking the camera. You know, it's kind of a cluster F. to, you know, all right, wrap it up. Let's get out of here to, like, what the kid's names are. You know, ask the kid how he's feeling.

It's like your private Veep assistant. Yeah, by the way, I had to kick him in the nuts because they'd be, you know, you do 18 families. And they'd go like, ask the son how he's feeling about this. And I'd be like, hey, assholes, say ask the son David how he's feeling. I mean, don't say the son. I'm like, hey, boy, how are you feeling about that? You know, it's because you're fucking doing 18. You're hopping from family to family to family.

I can't remember one contractor's name from one family, you know, to one, whatever, especially their kids, right? So, listen, idiots, don't say, don't ask the kid. Ask the daughter. There's three daughters, you know. Ask the daughter. Say the fucking name, you idiots. That's another of that same component of not putting yourself in another person's situation.

They're not putting themselves in your situation. They're in there now. Right. There now is I want that from that daughter over there. Get it. But I coached him up. I said, I said, I was pleasant. The first time it was pleasant.

I said, just never, look. You know, if the wife's name is Shelly, just go ask Shelly how she's feeling. Don't go at, just a wife's feeling because I'm going to have to search my brain for a second. Sandy, what the hell? Just say, Shelly. It'll be easy. So you do that. I've gotten them coached up on that.

I've gotten them coached up on a whole bunch of stuff. But here's how I coach myself up. These little earwigs, they're expensive. And the sound guy's nuts for him. You know, when you break for lunch, he comes running up to you. Where's earwick? Where's earwick? Yeah, where's your wig?

And they're the size, they're a little smaller than a dime. Sort of like the tip of your pinky. Tip your pinky. Yeah. And just to be fair to people, they're not feeding me jokes. They're trying to sort of, I don't know. you know, when they've got what they want. And when they got what they want, they go, okay, we got it.

Wrap it up. Let's tell them. And then we can leave. But I'm not finishing until they have, because they have all these beats they want to hit, and I don't have a cue card to look at, you know. And like I said, the families start blending into, he took $3,500. The bid was $8,500. They paid $5,100.

Like, you start going into your 10th family. It's like you just start swimming with all the people's names and all the medals. Are you finding they're more enthusiastic to have you now, the families? Yeah, they've seen the show. They get the finished product. So, earwig. As soon as we're done with whatever we're done with, I pop mine out because it's a little uncomfortable to wear and sometimes it's just static.

You pull it up by that plastic fucking thing. There's a weird little antenna. It sticks you in your ear. And it's a little uncomfortable and it's a little staticy. And if we're going to lunch, I just pop my. out and put it in my pocket usually if the sound guy hasn't gotten to me yet. And there's a lot of, season one, there was a lot of, where's the earwig? And I had a, I took it out and set it in my trailer.

I'm pretty sure I just set it on top of the thing where my sunglasses were. And it's pretty sure it's in my trailer. You sure? You know, I'm eating lunch. I'm going to go, you know, I don't know if the guy has, the sound guy's got to pay the $2,000 or go replace it or whatever it is, but they freak. They freak. They freak.

guy's always freak. When you start walking away with the microphone, oh, where are you going? To Mexico to start a new life. I'm going to not only sell this lov mic, but I'm going to sell the batteries within. And I'll live like a king. A king, I tell you. No, I'm going to my fucking car. Here you go. Or if not, I'll see you tomorrow. But it's not like I'm going to take this thing home and drop it in the pool and forget about it. But they're always freaked out about it. So, Earwig. I, at a certain point, I don't know, midway through last season, it goes in the left front pocket of my jeans that I'm wearing. That's it.

End of discussion. It's in my left ear usually or the right ear. It doesn't matter. Either way, left front pocket. It's very small. So it's the kind of thing where if you put it in your jeans, you'd have to know what pocket. Otherwise, you're digging around.

Left front pocket every single time. And it's at the point where yesterday we were shooting the guy, you know, it's like kind of a joke. Because I say to everyone, the guy comes around. He goes to skip. Skip. Where's your wig? Feels his ears first.

Then he pats himself down. Then he goes, I didn't hand it back to you? And then I didn't get back from you. Oh, maybe I gave it to the producer, Minerva or whatever. Yep. For me, he just comes up and goes left front pocket. Like he knows. And I am at the point yesterday when he came up to me and he said, where's your earwig?

And I went, oh, I had a moment of, I don't remember. I don't recall. pulling it out. But there it was in my left front pocket. I don't think about it. Let's have it now. I don't think about it. Thus, that was three seconds where I was

not burning calories, even going where shall I put this. It is done. Check that fucking box. Move the fuck on. And use that time for what you will. But either way, it's not worrying about where the fucking earwig is. It's just in the left front pocket. And now

there's no calories burnt putting it there, because I don't even think about it. Yeah, it's great. It's an easier, much easier way to go through life. Why the fight? Well, here's the part that intrigues me that I want to get into a bit is why the, what do you mean when you've run into people who overestimate themselves all the time? Give me some examples of that. I think everybody is.

Because there's that now moment, but I think overestimation is a different phenomenon. Everybody is guilty and in some form, some way, shape, or form. of their life of overestimating themselves. And they do it when they're driving sometimes. Oftentimes, oh, I can read a couple of emails and navigate traffic. You know, you can't. I've had many conversations where, you know, Lynette's answering text and talking to me and she thinks we're having a conversation.

And I'm telling her, you're not tracking with the conversation. She thinks she's in it. explain her. You're not tracking. That's not a criticism. I'll wait till you're done. And then I'll come back and we can finish having this conversation because it's not computing now. She thinks it is.

I've had situations and people have had situations where they go, I'm going to give the best man's speech at the wedding next week. And they go, I'll wing it. I got this. I got this. And then during the party, they go, have a glass of champagne, maybe just one. maybe just one before, you know, I want to stay sharp for the best man's speech. But after the first glass of champagne, the chick comes by with the tray again, and they go,

ah, hit me with another flute, you know. Next thing, you know, you have mildly buzzed or slightly drunk dude up there who's not used to this environment saying he's going to wing it, but not so it's not going over that well. You know what I'm saying? But look, I used to do it in school, you know, I got an oral report on Benjamin Franklin. skim the book. I can look at a couple pages. I think I can handle this one. I couldn't, you know, I used to do it.

I don't, I don't audition anymore. But when I used to audition, I just, you know, I'll just read my part, you know, try to memorize a couple of these things, you know. Show up, just fuck it up. I don't know what I thought was going to happen. Do you know what I mean? I don't know what I thought the outcome would be. How could it be anything? Well, usually it's because you didn't think.

Yeah, but I did get the script three days earlier. I just didn't do my due diligence. I don't know if it's actively overestimating myself. It's more of a, it's more of a, it's a sort of bad student fairy tale. Something magic. You know, I'm not going to study for this algebra test. I'm not going to put any time in over the weekend. Monday morning's going to roll around and something magic is going to hit me.

Whenever I find myself when I used to try to. coach my kids about studying stuff. Whenever I found myself saying, what were you thinking? That's when you know that stuff was kicked in. What were you thinking? What were you thinking? You were going to get at 5 in the morning. You write a 20-page paper on Monday?

For a Monday? Well, that is thinking. That is, that's that. That's a little different than I'm going to sit down in front of that Scantron sheet and somehow my hand is going to be inspired by all the great mathematicians who've come before me. You know what I mean? And it's going to just like a divining rod start moving toward the correct answers and things like that. You know, I used to just think, look, half this stuff is multiple choice.

You know what I mean? I think I think I'm on a roll here. I could just be punching the right answers. And see, it never worked. This is part of grit, by the way, is that ability to assess, understand, prepare, have judgment about what you need to do to prepare. That's important. See, I put a lot of in that. We've argued about this, and you've said I put, you know, education is a waste of time, blah, blah, blah.

I'm telling you that. No, no, you've told me it taught you how to think. Oh, well, that's a taller order. That's a later phenomenon. Yes. No, look, I like education in the preparation, repetition. There's a test coming at the end of the week every week. I like all that stuff.

I find you can get the same thing out of the military. That's basically what I'm saying, which is get up early, get regimented, work out, focus on a field, learn a skill, you know, discipline and all that kind of stuff. When I was in seventh grade, I couldn't prepare for a spelling test. I literally didn't have judgment about that. But what I'm saying is now you don't take spelling tests as adults. No, but I take... Yeah, well, most people don't take tests, but life is a test. You know, right.

And it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a situation, which is, is, is, is, is, is one of these, one of these, one of these things you can never account for. And I'm not angry at anybody, but I said, I told you, I did not want the old Newman cars sitting on the new rims for the static display. Right. I said, I want the old school rims, and then I'll race on the new rims. But for when it's being viewed, I want it to look right. Well, here was my plan. By the way, this car, go get my phone, Maxapada. Or Gary, grab my phone.

Hold on. text from DeAndria, just email it to yourself or whatever you kids do and put it up on the screen. If you want to get a fucking boner of this car being put back together, but here was my plan. I have Newman's 1985 GT1 championship car. Yeah. And it's almost done.

Yeah. And I'm going to bring it to the premiere. Right. And you're going to put it on the original wheels, right? Original wheels, but here's where it gets trickier. Are you ready? I have the 1986 GT1 championship car, which is almost identical, but it's beat to death. The engines pulled out, the transmission is pulled out.

It's a junker. It needs to be completely redone. Say it again. You have the which one? Oh, boy. Yeah, yeah. I want to be sure I'm following you. All right.

I have the 85 championship car and I have the 86 championship. 86 is the junker? 86 is the junker. It doesn't matter. But the 86, I have two of the cars. They're almost exactly the same. Yeah. I don't mean restoration like when you're putting together a Mustang.

And the other one is hoses and rust and no engine. And it's just like an old ship that's been junked. Just sitting there. Why did you do the one, not the other? I mean, it didn't matter. I should have thought about it a little more because the other one had won the 50th championship for Nissan as a little more significance. But it didn't, it was a coin toss at the time and one of them had the engine in it, which need to be rebuilt, blah, blah, blah. Anyway, coin toss.

I can't remember what I based it on. It was a disaster and every single piece needed to be put back together. Okay. I came up with the idea when they said, what do you want to do for the permissible? the El Capitan Roosevelt party afterward, we're going to bring some cars out. We'll bring cars out. You can look at, show us one at a time, if you can, Gary, please.

We want to bring some cars out. You want to bring this car. You want to bring that car. I said, bring the car that's being rebuilt and then bring the junker car. Park it nose to nose. Nice. Because part of the deal is, hey, people, here's what I'm doing. I'm doing this to that.

You're looking at an engine. You're looking at inner coolers. You're looking at turbos. you're looking at. But if you look at the brakes, the brake hats had to be the gold thing on top of the brake disc

needed to be completely fabricated. Everything needed to be fabricated. All those parts, all those suspension pieces, they've all been fabricated. Now, I'll tell you one thing that's going to piss these guys off. You can go to Adam andrews show.com.

Yeah, and take a look at this. Show the next one. All right. And? Fucking boner. What will piss me off is they're using silicone tubes. They didn't use silicone tubes back in the day. They used non-silicon tubes like radiator hose where the things connected,

where the solid pieces connected to the whatever. If you go back to the other picture, you can see where the blue tubes are. Here's how I am. And you see all those blue connectors where the hard pipe. It's like plumbing, where the two-inch aluminum pipe, hooks to the inner cooler, there's a little sleeve about three inches long of tubing. Flexible joint, right? Yep.

Here's what, you know, it's going to piss everyone off? Well, it's not going to piss them off. They're not going to give a shit because I'm going to pay for it. Who's everyone? Well, the guys that are putting the car together. Here's how it works, and here's how I work. I want the car to be exactly as it was in 1985. And it is, down to every detail, except for the,

They didn't make silicone tubing in 1985. How did you know that? How did you, I mean, just know. Seen enough pictures, known, been around enough to know it's relatively new. And what I do is I would walk up and down the pits when I'd go to Laguna Seca and I'd look at these guys' engines. And the cars were done exactly as they were done. But the engines are always rebuilt because they can't be 30 years old. They're not going to run.

They get rebuilt like every year. And when you rebuild them, they don't let you go up in displacement or get, you know, make a bigger engine or make a bigger turbo charge or anything. But stuff like putting the newer silicone tubing on there's what you do because it's just it's more durable, it's safer, it's better, and why not that's just what you'd use now. Yeah, why not? It's better. Yeah, it's sort of like these cars didn't run synthetic oil back in the day, but now they

put synthetic oil in them because it's just better. And it doesn't break any rules and it's fine. Well, the silicone tubing comes in blue, bright blue. And back in the day, all those connectors would have been bold. Here's the way I roll. I walk around and I go, this silicone tubing, it's good, right? Yeah, it's good. Do they make it in black?

Well, you can order it in black. It comes in blue, but you could order it in black. And I go, what the fuck don't you order it in black? And I go, well, who cares? And I go, you are bending over backwards to get every decal, every sticker, every piece, everything on this car exactly as it was from the day. But then when you open the hood, you see a bunch of electric blue pieces winking at you where you just, it screams, oh, we did this last weekend.

Yeah. If the shit comes in black, just order it in black. So they have to redo every one of those? Well, I have to decide how weird I would like to get. Can you just paint them? Well, they're hot and they're rubber. paint's not going to say Is that a fucking work art or what?

Yeah, it's beautiful. Okay. If we have any other pictures, we can show Drew. So, Drew, I said, we need to send out the rims and we need them perfect for the display. Old car, new car, park nose to nose. Well, what's my guy do? He sends out all the rims.

And they all get powder-coated and polished, and they all look brand new. And he's putting new tires on it. And I said, we can't put the new rims and the new tires on the beater car. It's the beater car. He's like, well, I wanted all the rims. No, I wanted those rims. This is the rolling.

See, now what's in my head? And here's my problem in life. The gestalt. Yeah. The beater car is the beater car. Yeah. I literally, I don't want you to wipe that car down. I want it to have a layer of dust on it.

Yeah. The more beater it looks. The greater... How weird would it be with a new wheeled tires? You're starting to anger me, Drew. The greater chasm between... car A and car B. I do find this a lot.

I find it a lot. You tell me, Drew. Tell me. Where, you know, the person will always say when you're making a movie, you run into this a lot, but when you're doing anything, you run into this a lot. You go, what do you think we're trying to accomplish here? Yeah. What are we trying to accomplish? What were you thinking?

What were you thinking? They go, I don't know. I had all the rims. You told them I sent them all out. I had them all powder coated. And by the way, the rims freshly powder coated. aluminum polish, brand new tires. It's 80% of the car.

It really is because the car is not going to have the body on it. It's just going to be staring at brand new tires and shiny, shiny aluminum. It's going to be confusing. So I said, listen, this can't be. And they're like, well, we got all the rims done up now. And I'm like, find a set of beater rims. I don't care if they're the actual rims. I don't care how well they fit.

There's no fender works or anything. don't put new tires, go through the trash pile and get the shitty tires. Put the shit tires on there. And it's like, they're not holding there some of these tires. I'm like, pump in the fix of flat. Let's see, we can at least transport the thing. And if one runs out while it's there, there, because the overall thing is I want beater and finished.

Yeah. People don't think. Don't think. What were you thinking? I wasn't thinking. That's the answer to the question. I said in front of every car, we need a little information stand that says, what year, when Paul drove it, what it won, blah, blah, blah. So I said, go find pictures.

I have a ton of pictures. Find a picture of the car from back in the day. Hopefully Newman's leaning on the hood and his fire suit, you know, and then gather those pictures. There's five of them. Now, I'll write the slug line on them, blah, blah, blah. I get pictures of the car parked in front of a semi that has the same color scheme. with like the nose of a Z car in the shot. And I'm like, this couldn't be more confusing or more.

Do we have one where Paul's driving? And it's like, oh, yeah, and we could look. Oh, yeah, here's one. Here's one where he's driving. It's like, let's use the one where he's driving. And we're going to swap this one out for the one where he's sitting on the hood, giving the thumbs up in the fire suit, because that connects him to the car. But Drew.

Not thinking. You, that component right there is as tall as they fucking get in life. You think that what is elementary, what is basic, what is, I think they call it horse sense. They used to call it horse sense. But I say to people all the time, what do you think we're trying for here? What are we doing here? What are you thinking? That, what I just said, it transcends, almost everything.

Because people expect their horse sense, their sort of automatic sensibilities to guide them through life, when in fact they need this discipline constantly of going, hold on, let me think about this. Hold on a sec. What about this? Let me plan. Let me think. It's a discipline that people don't have. And that's what's needed constantly.

I would argue, Drew, or I don't know if I'm arguing or not, I would say that that horse sense, we've taken a stupid barn animal and decided that was what we're all either born with or not born with. Oh, contrary. That thing that's invisible that can't be, doesn't seem to, there's no test, there's no IQ test for it, there's no SATs, and it doesn't have a ton to do with college or hereditary or whatever, something that is honed and developed on a daily basis, and we've completely ignored it as a society. What are you talking about? I like sure I get it.

The sense of saying just a basic, just a, just a, you know, just a, just a, just a, just a straightforward, basic sense of, and I'll give you a, of, and I'll give you a just straight, not my idea, but, well, boy, when I hear one, I'm in love, I'm in love with it. Back to Paul Newman. Bob Sharp lives in Connecticut. Yeah. And he said to me, I got a bunch of Newman crap. You're starting a museum. I'll give you this Newman crap. And you can put it in your museum for posterity.

And one includes like a replica car. Like a car that he builds like a tribute car. It's not the actual car. But it's good enough. It's nice. Blah, blah, blah, blah. He's in Connecticut. I have a truck and a trailer.

But I don't want to send a guy to Connecticut on a free ride to get it and then turn around and come back. I like the part where he comes back. Yeah. Start talking. but it's a lot of stuff and a car. It needs a big two-car trailer, which I have. But I hate the idea of driving to Connecticut. So I'm trying to think, well, how much?

And I'm getting these prices and it's expensive to box it up and do it. I'd rather have my guys do it and so on and so forth. And my guy, the same guy, screwed up the rims, said to me, well, why don't we do this? I'll just put an ad out on Craigslist and see if anyone needs their car taken back east. Oh, I said, I'm listening. He said, your trailer can hold two cars, not two SUVs, but two medium-sized cars. I said, yeah, well, just get someone who wants to pay us $1,500 or whatever.

You know, it's going to cost $2,000 in diesel fuel. You know, whether it's, and so my first thought was like, yeah, but what are the chances they're going to Connecticut? And then I thought, oh, fuck you. They can go to Florida. It doesn't, doesn't matter. All places you pass through, the further, the better. You get to charge him more. You're just going Craigslist.

You find someone who's going back east once a car shipped. And then the drive... Then there's a lot of that, too, by the way. Yes. Then the drive over there is two cars and is paying for the fuel. But for me... Did you get somebody? Oh, he's going to get somebody.

He just started the other day. To me, it's... My mind immediately went... It wasn't the... The money's like... How about coming back? Get room in there for another car? Coming back?

No, I have enough for one car and then a bunch of junk. So you couldn't pick up another car coming back? That's Drew now. And I'm just double-checking. I appreciate that. We would have thought of that. Now that I was on, I wasn't thinking that way. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Go to Craigs. It's drag two cars out that way. It's great thinking. And not, for me, really not about the money, just about the waste of dragging a trailer across the country that's completely empty. Now, we will make enough for the diesel fuel. By the way, what's fascinating about this, I don't know how you feel about this, but it could be that that trailer sits around a lot, doesn't it? Mm-hmm. It could be a little.

business somebody could run. Somebody could run the business of your trailer schlepping shit across country. Now you see, Drew, I'll tell you how I'm wired. I'm not interested in the money. I'm interested in the waste. But somebody...

It's a bigger time suck. And I don't... The trailers parked. I have plenty of room. I don't look at it as wasting. You know, it's not sitting there with a generator running all day. You know what I mean? Driving to Connecticut with a box behind you that's 36 foot long and empty is a crazy waste.

I'll put a family of Mexicans in there. It's a big a waste. What happens if you get your identity stolen? Oh, no. Wasteful. You know, it's time you're going to waste trying to get your... I'm doing it right now. My damn wallet.

I can't find my damn wallet. Should have put it in the fridge. Maybe I did. Mm-hmm. What's going on? You have life lock. I have life lock? Oh, I have life lock.

One quick story before we go on to calls. As it pertains to this overestimation business. Two nights ago on Lovelin. Guy calls up. There's this horrible pediatrician in Orange County who's trying to create a legislation that would mandate people getting vaccinations for their kids to protect the community. And he had sort of consequences that were rational like you can't enroll in things. You can't be in public. You can't go to schools and things unless you're not vaccinated.

And you don't protect the herd. And he goes on to talk about thimerosal, things that have been just out of the vaccine forever. And, and Catherine goes, Mike Cotho's my co-host on Love Line goes, well, what, what, who are you to be doing a list? And we started talking to him. He, um, learning disabled, severely. Severely. And had cognitive difficulties. And, uh, but he's going to tell me and how, well, he says he's a pediatrician.

No, no. He was taking issue with the pediatrician. He'd read about this pediatrician. Drew, you screwed. That's me? No, you're right. True. You got to fucking tell a story correctly here.

There's a pediatrician out of Pasadena. Don't create splitting, motherfucker. Be careful. Let us fight it out ourselves. True. For the love of Christ. Yeah. And then I misspoke.

But he was referring to it. The guy's fighting the legislation. This guy was taking issue with it with me. Just wanted to come in and complain about it. Right, right. The point. There's a guy who's putting some legislation forward or something. trying to that says everyone should get vaccinated.

Yes, correct. And there's a guy that takes issue with it. The guy calls it. And the guy has a speech problem and he's having trouble expressing himself. Clearly, like, something's like not right. Well, he's severely cognitively impaired. But he's going to tell me how, what I should be thinking about vaccines. This is pertinent. I brought this up in the relationship to the overestimation of one's ability. Does he have a personal whatever? Well, his personal thing was, well, I was perfectly normal. until I got vaccinated and then that caused my brain damage. Well, this is what I say all the time.

It's coming down at just pure unfettered narcissism. When I hear these crazy mamas speak, they go, first off, if you notice everything is about them. They go, do you know what it's like to raise a severely disabled child, to wake up every morning and not know if they're going to be on this planet for one more day. Because I have to live with that. I have to look into his eyes as I'm feeding him oatmeal that I had to push through a sock. Every morning I push oatmeal through a sock. I work two jobs.

It's like, all right, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me. We get it, bitch. You have a kid who has a problem. Lots of kids have problems and lots of parents cope. and deal with it. Some are huge. Some are small. Some lose limbs in wartime. Some getting horrible car wrecks. Others are learning disabled. Severely impaired. It runs the gamut from fucking just, I got to push around in a wheelchair and feed through a straw to he's not doing so good in his algebra. But either way, everybody has that. But it's me, me, me, me. Fine. Sorry for your lot in life. Now, what the

fuck does that have to do with the measles vaccine? But you're so incredibly narcissistic that if something happened to me. It's everything. It's universal. It's happening to everybody. Yeah. Right. It's not.

Please knock the fuck off, everybody. All right. Drew, where's your wallet? I don't know. I don't know. It's a shit feeling. It's a shitty feeling. All right.

Let's backtrack and let's try to figure this one out. Last time I saw it, I took it out. How do you handle your wallet? It goes in the left back pocket. without fail. Okay. And you pat yourself down when you get up? Always.

I do too. But here's the weird thing. Sometimes I'll rub one out. There's a piece of this story that's standing. Boy, you're looking for your wallet? Well, my hand strays. If you find it, then you have it. Yes.

But here's the strength thing. I always take it out. Well, no, I will leave it in the pants. I'll leave it in the pants. Because I'll sometimes wear the pants two days in a row. Now, I noticed all my keys were out. as though I emptied my pockets from these pants, the pants I'm wearing now.

But I didn't take the wallet out because if I'm taking everything out, it's usually like I'm getting ready to change, put the pants in the laundry and change them. But I did it like partially. And also something interrupted my ritual. My wife needed a check. And that's a whole other conversation.

Maybe the next show. Because trying to get out of her what the check is for, where I'm supposed to send it, has been high comedy. High comedy. I've had some of that myself recently. And the last thing was make it out for this amount, not to whom, and send it to the office.

The office. Yes. Okay. We've got to have dinner. Anyway, so it was not where I threw my pants, because these pants don't fit right, and the wall, it's saggy. The pocket saggy. It could easily, stuff could fall out of this pocket. I can see it.

But they don't. Well, it could have fallen out. when I threw the pants down. Could have fallen out when I was sitting at K-Rock last night. Last time I saw it was a K-Rock when I bought some popcorn. I feel like you pat yourself. You sit in your car, you feel your wallet. But these are pants where it doesn't, they don't fit normally.

They don't feel it normally. Here's what I want to say to you, Drew. I say trust your motor, your invisible, unthought-of motor system. The discipline. The discipline. Trust the discipline. I told you yesterday, I don't remember putting the earwig in my pocket. And there was a moment where the guy came up to me and I was like, oh, I don't know what I did.

It was there. It was just there because of the invisible motor. Now, I don't know why you don't have a more responsible plan for your wallet. Is that my pocket? Well, my. Yes. What do you do with yours? It's in my car.

It's always in my car. Now, I don't, I agree. that there's some downside to always in the car, potential downside. But I'm weighing my shit out. I live in a nice neighborhood. I work in a nice neighborhood. I have not had a car broken into,

and I don't know how long. I don't know how long. That's not the issue. All right, well, so first, well, here's how I do it. First things first. I've not had a car broken into in 15 years or more. So I've weighed that option. Number two, it's in the same place in the car every time.

There is no leaving the house with it or without it. There is no, did I bring it in? Did I leave? Is it in the bedroom? It's just in the car. It's always in the car. And as I sit here now, it's in the car. Yeah, yeah.

Really, the only, and it's in the car in a place where I can see it. Yeah, yeah. The only downside, and it's never happened, but the only downside, is when I'm driving to the airport, I have to make sure, first things first. When I get in the car, I see it. Yeah, yeah. I literally put it on top of my lap as I drive to the airport so I cannot get away from it. I've done 189 flights, and I haven't forgotten it one time.

The procedure we just went through leads me to – I'm clear that it has to be K-Rock. I drove my wife's car. It's got to be in that car. I did look this morning in that car. Or somehow in my bathroom where I press. You may want to adopt the... Oh, I went... I had another step.

I never take. I went... The step you never take. That's how you find. I did check over there, but my daughter wanted me to edit a couple pages of her thesis. And so I sat down to like mid-1230 and worked on that. White people problems.

Had to work on the daughter's thesis. The wee hours of the night. Wow. All right. Always look at the extra step. That's five. Now, me, wallet, car, always in the same place. never, I don't bring it with me.

I don't bring it inside. I don't bring it inside the house. I don't bring inside the studio. I don't bring inside my workplace. I don't bring it anywhere. It's just in the car. And I know where it is. It's always with the car. And it doesn't fail me. I'm trying to think of like, like I said, but part of what we're talking about is know thyself. Yes.

I know that wouldn't work for me. I would forget it regularly in the car. And I wouldn't mean forget it regularly. Like the airport and stuff like that. I would. I just know it. I know for sure I would. Once you coached yourself up. If I had a coach.

If you want to really work on me on that, I could do it. Let's get Kevin Hart to do it. We'll make a movie out of it. All right, douche. You ready to take some phone calls? New York. Hymns, when guys are having bedroom issues, usually they hesitate to take action.

You know, when Adam opened the show today, I always try. If I have to start the show without him for something, you know, whatever. He's, I start for a couple minutes early and I'll try to do to get it on. You get stuck to. You get stuck in traffic. But say me. You're late. You're late.

I appreciate the fact that you're saying we start a couple minutes early. We're not starting a couple minutes early. No, I'm late. I start a couple minutes early before he gets here because he's late. Because I'm late. And I noticed this morning, I can never get it right. I can never say it the way you see it. And I realized this morning.

You say got to get it on, no choice but to get it. I always thought it was the get it on was the emphasis. You got to get it on. All right. What's up? Brandon. Hey, guys. Well, a long time listener.

I love the show. I've been listening since the beginning. Thank you. Adam, not to sound like a gushy teenage girl, but I don't think you've ever said anything. I disagree with. So. Why? Why should it?

I'm right 100% of the time. I've said this a million fucking, what, Max Barrett? What I tell you the other day? I know more than other people. I'm smarter than other people. Everyone should just do everything, I say. They have dogs that are sniffing cancer right now, Drew. Dogs are sniffing out cancer.

What year did I say dogs were going to or should be trained to sniff cancer? 97. That's what I said in 1997. With my fucking zero education, I said they can smell everything. Drew said, right. I said everything has a smell, does it not? They said, right? I said, let him start sniffing around.

And particularly what he said was they should be a gynaecologist office. with one in the waiting room and just went from lady to lady and sniffed out STDs, sniffed out cancerous, whatever. Is the STD dog? It's the cancer dog. Every time I do one of these things, everyone goes, yeah, yeah, we heard you. Was there anyone else in 1997 with zero education? I was talking about training dogs to sniff for cancer?

With a drone and nappy hair, no. Thank you. All right. Here we go. No one else. All right. Today, my question is for Dr. Drew recently. The past couple months ago, actually, my wife has a cousin who committed suicide.

I predicted that in 96. No one really knew that she was suffering from depression, but it turns out afterwards that I guess she'd been battling depression for a little bit, or at least a little while. And while she or after she committed suicide, it also turns out that she was prescribed and on the drug Tamiflu for the flu. And I'm reading online now that there's connections between Tamiflu and increasing someone.

who's depressed the chance of suicide. So I just want to talk to... Hold on. Tamiflu's over the counter, right? No, no, no. It's a prescription. You do? Yeah. It's got an over-the-counter name, doesn't it? Yeah, it sounds like Theraflu.

Or just something, but you, you, yeah, I don't know. But it's not a tough thing to get, right? Like, your doctor's not like, oh. It's a pretty serious medicine. Is it? Yeah. I don't know. Is that big a deal?

All right. And it's for when you get the flu. Inluenza. It's for influenza. Early in the influenza process, and it's to protect family members to both. From spreading it. from catching it right. Yeah, yeah. Okay.

And it's a great medicine. It basically saved my life. I had an H1N1 infection. Man, did that turn that thing around? And it was, I was sick. And it protected my family. So you understand it's a medicine that has a great utility. But like every medicine, every medication, there are risks.

And you are raising one of them. It's an interesting question. But then flu can make depression worse. And, you know, it's really hard to know what's what. But I hope, you know, you hope if somebody's prescribing something like that to somebody with depressed, with depression, they would warn them and say, you know, this is a serious thing. But keep an eye out if you get any suicidal thoughts. This is a tough one because the reason it's tough for the doctor, I wouldn't say anything either, is the person comes in with the flu. When you come in with depression or you're unable to sleep or whatever it is, you start giving them medication that is or or medicine for depression.

or whatever it is, this is something, this is a temporary thing. You know, you think of it, you take this for a few days and then. The Tamiflu. Yeah. Then that's over with. It's gone. Yeah. So we're not, you know, you're not going, ringing your hands as a doctor.

And what if they get strung out on Tamiflu or what are the imprecate? What's the long-term implications of the, you just think, oh, you have a flu. Here you go. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You're right. And it, it just goes to the point of, you know, overprescribing.

You want to be sure that somebody really needed the medication. But Brandon, how old was? she? She was in her early 30s. Boy, you don't hear much women in their 30s committing suicide. These you don't complete. I will tell you they do complete when they hang themselves and jump off stuff. So did you do something like that?

Actually, I don't know the details of her death. Yeah, it's awful. It's kind of good. Is it something that a doctor who, when prescribing is looking for? Is that a common thing or is something that's easily overlooked when prescribed? It's easily, I think, who knows, number one, it's easily overlooked. There is always a tendency towards overprescribing because patients just demand something when they leave the doctor's office. And you wonder whether he or she warned this person.

Well, I doubt it. I doubt it too. Sorry, Brandon. Thanks for being. Well, that's right. Thanks for the info. Yeah, it's an interesting, it's an interesting question. Let's see.

Somebody's got molestation question. somebody's got let's just go to line three hey Oscar 37 Houston Hey how's it going guys get it on Good man What's happening

So I'm calling My question is more of a general question I have no issues at all my family But I have a daughter She's 10 And you always think about Well if something would happen to her If somebody did something to her

I would kill that person right It's like the first thing you think of And then one day I was just sitting there thinking About that story statement And they got me to thinking Is that would that be worse If something happens to her somebody molester, for instance, something.

And then I go and kill that person. Does the data show that that's worse outcome as an adult for the child? I'm not aware of any data on that. People don't typically get the chance to kill the molester of their child. Sadly, no. Yeah. However, it makes some sense to me that it certainly wouldn't help in that... Well, what if you molest your own child?

And you kill yourself? That would have a negative impact. Yes, yes. Everyone wins. But, you know, it's interesting. Well, here's the thing. Usually kids who get molested, usually are because the family splintered and fractured and everyone's all over the fucking place. They're good victims because they're looking at their uncle's house because the family's a mess.

They're easily manipulated. They're looking for some attention. So when you have an intact family and a dad who seeks vengeance, you've already gotten your. your kid off the imperative high probability. High probability molestation list. Doesn't mean that can't be molested. It means the percentages go down. I'm guessing.

So you're not going to have many instances where there's a dad on occasion. But many instances where you have the dad who's present and loves the shit out of his daughter and then witnesses this and goes, now I want revenge. So it's not going to happen that most time the guy's going to be in Florida fucking somebody else. and he might not even hear about it. But there is, the way children's minds work, they feel responsible for everything that happens to them, especially bad things. And so that's part of some of the conflict.

They feel as though they create, you will actually hear kids say, well, I seduce the guy. You know, like, well, not seduce the guy, but I should have done, I should have gotten up and left. Well, there's that part.

If you talked to McKenzie Phillips with her weird, ancestral thing with her father, she began to believe. I mean, I've heard. Take that, put that, you say that, send that quote to the police. When the child tease you go and take and take, like, revenge on somebody, does that sort of take away that feeling of, oh, well, you know what? It wasn't my fault because my dad figures it's not, it was my fault.

No, no. Children are way too grandiose. They'll think, I killed that guy and they'll feel guilty. Maybe. They went, oh, my God, I created this thing that where somebody died. I think there's an element of my God, my dad loves this shit out of me. Maybe. There's definitely if I got a can-do dad and I got a dad who fucking cares about me to the point where he'll risk going to prison for a lifetime.

I feel there's a night and shining armor part of this. Now, look, you kill somebody. Then you may recreate that circumstance over and over in your life as a result. Similar kinds of things. Big picture, probably best not to kill whoever hypothetically molest your daughter. Look, hold on. I rarely say this. Hey, Oscar?

Yeah. You guys start playing video games. I normally don't say that, but Oscar needs some sort of outlet. His mind is being consumed by insane thoughts. All right.
