Well, this is a throwback 10 years.
We were talking about an HLN show I did.
Adam and Lynette were recently watching my show, and they got some,
they were confused about the coverage of the Baltimore riots.
After I explained some changes coming to my television show,
Adam recounts a confusing story where he was told about the location
of his daughter's cell phone before the guys
before we turn to the phones to speak to listeners who have
questions about overdosing on edible marijuana something much
more common these days enjoy another throwback episode little
history here from 10 years ago.
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.

This is about as sick as I get.
Oh, no.
Which is not sick.
Just my voice gets blown out.
I saw you once totally lying in bed going, oh.
What year was that?
About eight years ago, something like that.
Eight?
You think it was more than that?
I didn't have kids.
Wow. My kids are eight. Twelve years ago? like that eight you think was more than that I didn't have kids Wow my kids are right maybe more I'm just saying you rarely get sick but

12 14 yeah sickness of o2 there's dr. Drew over there we're watching him on
television last night me and my wife.
Thank you.
That's right.
You've been critical the whole time?
Well, it's part of the time.
I don't know who the news guy you cut to on the CNN copter.
That guy's a fountain of information.
So it looks like something's burning over there.
What do we got Scotty? Uh, well, uh, I say we don't know what the
world's bad
But right now people are on the street and it's no good, you know
So back to you Drew. Well, it's the curfew
Has now what what are you hearing in the background? Are there screams? Are there shots?
What seems to be the general feeling that's on the streets?
On the ground there.
There's no good. And we don't know what that building is. There'd be no way to ascertain
what that building is. You could never.
No way. Impossible.
It'd be impossible to figure out what was on the corner.
Well, you're talking to a guy that's sitting in Washington DC about Baltimore
there's no way there's no way so anyway back to you drew hey thanks for that
thanks for the zero information by the way believe it um thank you for saying
this shouldn't you be able to string together a sentence of your field
correspondence saying he literally said it's not it's bad it's a
bad thing fire's bad fire bad fire bad can we get Frankenstein hey this is
Frankenstein oh fire bad oh like I mean literally yeah fire bad okay well back
to you Drew well now that I've been I've educated, we can see there's a structure on fire.
That much we know.
We don't know if it's a church, a CVS pharmacy or a missile silo.
You have not even speculated.
Listen, that guy didn't say, well, you know, it's in a residential area, so we assume it's
apartment building.
Drew's looking at my ear buckle. You know, it's it's it's in a residential area. So we assume it's apartment building
Drew's looking at my ear buckle. Oh
He didn't say we're in a residential area so we assume it's apartment building or in a commercial area and appears to be a warehouse or
I've done a Google image search and I can see that it used to be a Gelson's market or something if you literally says
Nothing. No, you know what? He said he said something like it's bad. No, he said well, there was a fire at CVS today
It was fire there. So maybe this is the same one. There's a triangle shirt factory fire and
1911 killed over 31 workers. Yeah. Any other fires you'd like to discuss? What about the
one that swept through Malibu and took Suzanne Somers' house a few years back? Well, that
guy was a zero. I was just watching that going, woo. Not only that.
Were you laughing at least?
I was looking it let that go
What? Your field corresponded you can't string together a sentence listen. I just had a conversation two things
I just had a conversation
We fired up on the way in and they went I would think we're gonna do four three segments on Baltimore
I go really get me a reporter. I gotta have a fucking reporter
Well, what about the guy mentioned you didn't know what structure was and things are bad
So here's our work. You know you don't know we deal with over there. I am what the imbeciles obviously no
No, it's worse that we there's worse 14 people on the ground right and
You know Don Lemma is gonna get interview for them in about 40 minutes. We're like hey, we'd like one of those
We'd like one right now. No can't do no. No, just line them up to say he's standing there waiting for a shot
Let me drop in forget the shot. Just let me drop in an IFB and talk to him. No, no can't do that
But what the fuck? Oh, we got we got this guy out here. He'll be great. He'll be perfect. I know he's available
He's available turned out. He wasn't even there. Well, no shit. He had no idea what was going on and
I know why he's available, right?
He's available. We're toothless fat whore who charges a million dollars a blowjob
It's available. He's available cuz he's worthless. We seriously get just crapped on with it's amazing that
Does he have a day job? I think they'd see an end to say hey get on there go go
He could be the producers who he made a new report
I don't know what the hell they were doing that I blame that of the people that sort of set these things up
Not him they put well no no no they should have put it's not his fault. He's horrible
No, that's why he shouldn't be doing that right they should not have asked him to do that
He that's not what he was doing that day. He was probably reporting probably doing roofing something. He's probably reporting. He shouldn't be reporting. He shouldn't be reporting from things, right?
He shouldn't be reporting from I'm gonna look at my he shouldn't be reporting from his pool. I feel bad for him
Well, no, no feel bad luck
Drew yes
when you sell out the
House of Blues and then the guy goes up on stage and he sucks, you should be mad at the promoter for selling it out, but you should also pull the guy with
the guitar aside and explain to him maybe this isn't for him.
That guy's not a reporter.
I don't know what he does, but here's the deal. He may have been completely
out of information. You still got a string together sentence.
I think he was in DC. I'm reading about...
I don't care if he was on Mars. He shouldn't be saying, this is not good, this is bad.
Or explain that he doesn't know what's going on because he's not physically there, whatever it is.
He covers the Justice Department at DC.
He shouldn't cover a cot mattress.
No, they shouldn't ask him to do stuff that he's not...
They shouldn't ask him to speak.
Let me explain something, Drew.
You can either talk or you can't talk. You could pull me into any situation
or most people I know who do this for a living and say to them, what's going on in this environment?
And I could say, I can't ascertain what the structure is from the view I have.
I think he was embarrassed and surprised that he was being asked to answer these questions.
You're on camera. Your voice is on camera. You have to string together coherent sentences.
Not this is bad. My wife and I were just watching going, who are they talking to? This guy's
an idiot. Now, don't feel bad for him. He should be in another profession. Not this
one. Not the one where you speak I got other questions for you how your wife corral you into watching our show
I know that didn't happen spontaneously no I walked into the the bedroom last
night and it was getting ready to skip my rope and it was it was on thank the nut
for me mm-hmm she're gonna come see our audience?
You wanna be part of the...
What?
Is that station owned by CNN?
Yeah.
Are they just not allowed to say anything?
Who?
Oh, the reporters?
Everybody.
Nobody says anything.
What do you mean?
Well, the situation on the ground is very unfortunate, you know, but you have to understand,
you know, tempers run high high and this is by no means
An excuse for this kind of behavior
But you know, you have to understand the underlying reasons that cause people to lash out
Everything has to be weirdly vetted. Oh, everyone just says the middle everyone talks right down the middle No, I was looking nothing personal. I was looking just hey everybody as soon as I said nothing personal here comes something very personal. I looked at Lynette and I said
well this is why Fox kicks the shit out of them because all they say is nothing.
It's one big long you know I'm not making excuses for the black community
but I understand that the feeling and rightfully so, of oppression, again, I'm not condoning
the looting and the rioting. Obviously there's some bad people who are out
there doing this, but understand that they're frustrated and they're venting.
First off, we pray for peace. We hope that we would like, you know, there's a form of protesting that is peaceful, that
is civil, that I stand behind.
But when you start smashing windows and lighting buildings on fire, well then you've crossed
the line.
But I understand where the emotion and frustration is coming from.
But this is not the proper
way to vent your frustration. I don't say that people shouldn't be allowed to protest
in a nonviolent way. These communities, these people live in these communities. Hold on
a second, let me write this down. Where they live, I thought they all were bused in from
Montana. They live in these communities. They work in these communities. Just slow
down. My steno pad is filling up too fast. Hold on. Wait for it. Wait for it.
Wait for it. They go to school in these communities and they're hurting their own
community when they express themselves this way. Now, I know there's a lot of frustration in the African-american
Alright, how much time we can we go to my Atlanta commercial because we have just said nothing for 20 minutes
Is that what CNN does like hey, just make sure we have say we just say nothing. We just say nothing
We can't say anything. I see everyone's handcuffed. Let's cut to the Asian broad
understand there's frustration in the community
and I'm not condoning this kind of violence.
And I put my heart goes out to the law enforcement community
but this kind of violence
against the African American community
has caused an uprising.
All right, let's cut to the mayor.
She says the exact same, everyone says the exact same thing.
The Asian broad you a hat on there.
I don't know what she was talking about.
She just said the exact same thing everyone else says.
There's no need to cut for her.
I can do the whole thing.
You don't need to cut to the guy in the helicopter.
You don't need to cut to the Asian lady.
I'll speak for everybody.
I won't speak for them.
I'll tell you exactly what they said.
Nothing.
Instead of the word tonight, I'm gonna go to you, you say nothing. There's nothing that ever gets said is that is there something?
at CNN like
when you go to
Notre Dame you have to slap that thing that says plays like champions
If you have a thing that says say nothing and that you guys have to slap on your way to the studio like inside
The studio at CNN say nothing the reason O'Reilly kicks everyone's ass
because he says something everyone hates thinks he's a dick but he gets ratings
because he says something CNN they never say anything it's just a regurgitation
of blah blah blah and I understand everyone wants to keep their job but in
the best way to keep your job is get good ratings.
Ooh.
Shocking.
Shocking.
So what is the climate over there?
Just do they tell you not to say anything?
No.
There's lots of stuff that gets reported
that we can't say that we'd like to say
until it's been vetted.
What did the Asian woman, what did she say?
I don't remember going to her really cuz I went there a couple times she's well
She's a psychologist and so I you know, I might have I you know
Here's the thing about that whole block for us. What'd she say?
Listen, you don't remember. No, we didn't want to even do news, you know saying you're saying we wanted to talk about stuff
Yeah, you should just do subject. Here's the problem. CNN cannot do a story like this because
how can they do a story that they can't comment on?
Well, but here's what you need to sort of think about, which is that the brand and the
brand value is all built on being there and being accurate, being reliably accurate.
And then their entire rating is built on breaking news.
When things break, people go to CNN.
Well, yeah, okay, but not of a racial, not in this content.
They're just reporting what's going on.
They're not doing any commentary.
They're just showing video and having somebody they're going this is awful
cut to like old-timey footage of a guy in a circus standing on a horse going in
a circle that's better what's more informative yeah we got a building it's
on fire over here it's bad it's a bad thing's a bad thing. Anyway, people go to CNN.
They don't go to CNN.
When there's breaking news, they do.
That's when they go way out.
All right.
Well, yeah, but here's the thing.
So that's what they have.
That's their asset.
Here's what I suggest to your producer.
Malaysian airline hits the side of a volcano.
No black folk on the plane.
No, don't say that. Just Malaysian airline hits the side of a volcano.
Go break. Break away. Break away. Tsunami hits Asia. Go. Break. You know what I'm saying?
Breaking news. Go to it. Breaking news. San Onofre nuclear plant. One of the reactors is gonna blow up break away. Okay Any kind of racial anything unrest or anything in this country?
Do not break away because CNN cannot comment on that
So now you're breaking away to something and everyone's hands are tied
Nobody can really have a dialogue about or discuss it and so there's nothing to say
So then there's a lot of let's let's go the mayor.
Let's go the mayor. Then she gets up and says nothing. Then you come back and
somebody says I like her and then they go back to the mayor and then they go to
the Asian lady and she's a psychologist but she's got nothing to say. Nothing
that's gonna get her bad tweet the next day. So they cover the big broad strokes. This has happened before. It's
going to happen again. This is a community they live in. We don't condone what's going
on, but we must understand what's propelling it. And there's a car on fire. And then we
come back to a bunch of, boy, this is a it's too bad and they canceled the Baltimore Orioles game that night
And then it's to a commercial then we come back we talk about how we wish this didn't happen
So what nothing is said
Nothing, so we're gonna start doing our show in front of an audience
Very section when it got into production and we're not gonna be doing stuff like this Do why why go why go somewhere where you can't say anything about it? You're smart. You have insights
You understand the human condition
You are a physician. You're an expert in the human condition
cutting to pretty Asian women who cannot weigh in on what is going
on in any meaningful way is a waste of everyone's time.
But understand, when you go to breaking news like that, you're just trying to get the reason
it failed.
It was a helicopter shot of a fire for 22 minutes.
That's mostly what they wanted to get on the air.
All right. The second thing. Mission accomplished 22 minutes. That's mostly what they wanted to get in the air All right, the second mission accomplished, right?
That's right
And the second thing was they wanted to report from the ground mission not accomplished vision fail
I got a report it was just uh
Well, yes, I got two questions, right? What were the two questions?
Well, no, I went back a couple of times and I kept going. Oh my god. No, I said
I said what's bit burning?
What are we looking at?
We're looking at a fire.
Yeah.
And then it was the same.
Bad.
What's the mood like on the ground there?
We're hearing people out on the streets.
Is there, are there bullets, shots being fired?
What's it like?
Well, we hear the fire.
We hear fire engines.
We hear fire.
You're water and fire engines.
You literally said we hear the fire.
Thank you.
Oh my God. This guy, you know what he is, he misses calling. Literally said we hear the fire Thank you. Oh
My god this guy, you know what is he misses calling? He should have been a tour guide at Universal Studios
Hey over there's a house
I Think they filmed
That movie fire anyway, here's a shark.
Big shark.
Stupid shark.
Oh, with fire, yeah, around the shark.
Then down here, that's where they filmed...
It's hot.
You guys hot?
That guy was a
fountain of information.
I feel like I walked away like an I felt like an expert on the situation. I felt like I was on the ground.
So you didn't watch our next story?
No, we didn't hold you till the next one. I just told Lynette this is a
This is why fox kicks this shit out of cnn. This is 25 minutes of people can't say anything
And there's everyone scared and and it it's I then did my news reporter for her. I did the
part where everyone of it's tragic but you have to understand but we pray for
the cops. This is not going to solve anything but a dialogue must be had. Now
is not the time for rioting, the family didn't want this,
we have not gotten all the information yet.
I did the exact same thing everyone does.
But anyway, we're having an honest racial dialogue, so it feels good.
So CNN, don't just focus on missing airplanes, but you can't do this stuff, because you,
I'm saying seriously, not I'm not saying it
with with that much vitriol. Peace and love. CNN you have painted yourself into
a corner where you're unable to comment on these kind of events. You're able to
show news footage helicopter footage of what is going on, you're able to say that
they threw a brick at a cop, but you're not allowed to comment on it. You have constructed
that yourself. I don't know why it's not working at all for you as a network.
No, it does.
Well, none of your shows do what O'Reilly does.
No, no. So the problem is...
So don't break away to that.
No, no.
Or just show footage of it and play
Play
Classical music and show helicopter footage. That's more in the zone where they're there you go
Yeah
But the what you're complaining about is once they come back from the breaking news and they do the analysis later
That's when nothing's getting so there's no analysis. So
Nobody has any analysis.
Well, talk to Gergos.
He's on CNN.
I'm not on CNN.
Oh, Gergos.
Well, listen, here's the thing about Gergos.
Gergos is smart.
He has a sort of intellectual integrity.
And here's what I wanna say about that.
People say, oh, the guy defended Scott Peterson, you know, how could he, you know, morally, whatever. I'm
not talking about that part. Gere goes morally. Well, a lot of people have shit, give him
shit. No, give him shit. But the Scott even Scott Peterson has to get a defense. Somebody's
got to do it. I know. But the way we're wired is like whoever does do it is the bad guy.
I see.
We say, we're so myopic or stupid or whatever, we say, yes, we can all agree Scott Peterson
is an American and deserves representation.
We all agree?
Yes, we all agree.
Then whoever raises their hand hands says I'll represent him
We want to stone that guy. Yeah, so we've agreed that he needs to be represented. We hate whoever represents it. Yeah, because
We're primitive. We're primitive. Yeah, okay
Which i'm learning more and more these days. I think we're getting more primitive. Oh, actually we're getting more primitive good
We're uh, we're bombing ourselves back to the stone age
It's powerful no, we always talk about we'll go to go to Iraq and we'll bomb them back in the stone age
Oh, we're we're emotionally and verbally bombing ourselves back to the stone intellectually bombing ourselves back to the Stone Age the thing about
At Gergos is Gergos is intellectually honest and that when he feels something is wrong or he has an opinion or
Whatever it is. He shares it. Yeah good or bad right or wrong. He doesn't filter it. See what I'm saying
Right. He likes doing shit too
The reason Gergos doesn't is because Gergos has a place to go after the studio
Right. He has a job. Right. He has a job that pays.
Right.
CNN doesn't pay him, and if they do, it doesn't keep gas in one of his Porsches for a year.
He has a much more lucrative career to go to.
So he, and on the occasion, Mark Cuban, or whoever, these guys can say what they want,
because they just go wherever else they go
and make their millions of dollars.
The people that you have on your show
and many of the folks that are on CNN,
that's their gig.
Or certainly an important part of their exposure.
Whatever it is, it's important to them.
It's important that they be asked back.
And you're not gonna get asked back if you
Don't tow the company line
No one tells them anything like that. No, it's pervasive. You don't have to tell them. They feel it that way
It's it's it's Obama talking in front of a black church and saying y'all
No one tells them to say y'all that's his audience
Get it. Okay-hmm. Okay
It's not it's not gonna help
It's not gonna help the network
But that's the lot, you know, they've taken in life also
You in front of the live audience is good. Yeah, you want to be on that occasionally. Yeah
It's good. We've done we've taped a few of their good. It, you want to be on that occasionally? Yeah. It's good. We've taped a few of them.
They're good. It's totally different. My fear is though, I got to tell you something though,
these audiences that watch new shows or that watch our network are very wacky because anytime you say
something at all clever or crack a smile, your ratings go in half. Like instantly. We can fall
it's good. You mean you make, and when you make them laugh?
When you do anything other than express outrage.
It's really interesting.
And yeah, it's crazy.
Well, they've built a bunch,
you see, they built a wacko audience.
They gotta start building a non-wacko audience.
That's what we're trying to do.
And so in the wild, we may have nobody there,
but it's a good show.
Listen, Drew. Yeah, I'm listening. I do this out of love peace and love yeah peace and
love I see you up there I can see what you're saddled with I can see the look
on your face when you come back from the guy from skycopter 9 has said nothing
and not only said nothing he's not even said nothing in a semi-professional way
he acted like he was taking a nap and somebody shook him and shoved a microphone on him and he's like ah
fire bad
back to you
Well, what's it what's oh, I think I think you you you may have asked him
What I don't know what the tone was on the street or something like that
Well, the tone is fire hot noise
Guys like I don't know what this guy does
Because there's a way to fake it like we've all we've all been put in that situation
Where I've been put in that We've all been put in that situation where I've been put in that situation, you've been
put in that situation, you've got your earbud in, the guy asks you something completely
off the grid or something you have no idea about.
There's a way to kind of take it and steer it a little bit the other direction.
You kind of feel him trying to do that though, right?
You could see he was making kind of a weird attempt at it.
It didn't work.
He was having difficulty stringing together words.
He couldn't get past fire the good news is like if his wife ever wants him
to stay out of the kitchen or anything all she has to do is light a wooden
spoon on fire shake in front of him and he'd be like ah yeah she holds one of
those extendo lighters used to light the fireplace. Yes fired
Fire
Yeah, I was mainly just feeling sorry for you and then the Asian psychologist lady
I just was like, alright, your teeth are super white
Nothing is nothing is nothing is no information is being disseminated at all when you come on the audience
I'm gonna have her in one of the chairs. She will bring nothing. I will say well, I don't what did she say nothing about that
Anything about the situation what did I bring? There was nothing. There's nothing there's nothing
Right, we're CNN. We got nothing not about this. So we'll just show you what the helicopter's showing you.
But the live show, now that, that I, I,
I approve of.
Yeah, we built, we built an audience
where Larry's King Studio used to be.
It's good.
Well, how many, you know, the good, the thing that's fun,
is that I've, you don't need a big theater anymore.
Right. You just need,
you really just, you know, I've done,
I've done these shows, you've done these
shows where they literally just have a room with like 10 people laughing or reacting or
whatever in it.
The Housewives show, what's his name?
Watch What Happens Live.
Watch What Happens Live, exactly. I'm looking for a picture of the audience. What we've
got here for you is I can show you exactly what it looks like. Because you're going to approve. Because it's precisely what
you're talking about. We made good use of the space. If I could goddamn find it.
All right. Somebody's got a question about eating pot. Matt?
So here's the chair of the audience.
Hey, how's it going?
It's going good.
First time, long time.
Hey, one second. Good. Speaking of phones. Hold on a second.
Hey, before you gave me that, that looked good. That's about the right. Hey, one second. Good, speaking of phones. Hold on a second.
Hey, before you gave, that's about the right size, right?
Yeah, how many people?
About 80.
That's way more than you need.
Yeah, yeah.
That's way more than you need.
About the phone, I don't know,
I found myself doing this yesterday, last night.
I don't know if you find yourself doing this.
Your kids are probably old enough.
I don't wanna sound like a dick all the time, but...
I'm trying to...
I have this quest, and my quest is to avoid the same mistakes and or slash conversations
that I've already previously had because it's sort of
Redundant a little bit of a waste of time and in life is there's so much to do
Now I'll give you an example. This is small. I'll give you a small example. I just wonder where you're going. Oh, you'll know
Fondalier sits in the other room. Yeah, and
I call him all the time and I just start shouting stuff out, write this down, bathroom hooks. And he'll go, what does that mean? And I'll go, just write it down.
He still asks, what does that mean? He used to say that.
No, no, he writes down bathroom hooks, but I'll go, do you want any? And I'll go, no,
no, just remind me later, remind me later. And then, so yesterday, yesterday, what I did in between podcasts and audiobooks was,
I went in there and we're trying to get the Newman documentary has a lot of Budweiser
in it. A lot of Paul Newman's drinking a Budweiser. People are saying after
the race, he'd like to have a Budweiser and his car says Budweiser all over it. And we're
trying to get Budweiser to go in on this charity event that we're getting together at Indianapolis.
It's, you know, you buy a sponsorship, the money goes to charity, it helps us put the
thing on and the things of Budweiser commercial. So where's where's Budweiser? You know, we got Nissan
Where's Bud?
So, you know finally we got John Taffer from Bar Rescue who's a friend colleague
Whatever, he knows the main man over there and he said, you know put together a little sizzle reel
You know two-minute thing showing all the Budweiser in the movie
sizzle reel and a two-minute thing showing all the Budweiser in the movie Paul Newman drink of the Budweiser and the Budweiser car and All that kind of stuff and then we'll put together a couple of
Highlight it will put together a couple of blurbs, you know, hey best racing documentary since sent on best
You know blah blah blah. We'll put together some good headlines. We got you know, and
Then we'll send them a couple pictures from the premiere that have the Budweiser car parked out front and then a little cover
letter and we'll get Budweiser. We'll do our best. And we worked on that and
then later on I had him order a bunch of bathroom hooks that he reminded me of. If I went back to him today or three days from now and said, what's going on with those
bathroom hooks?
And he said, yeah, I don't know.
And I said, well, we went over it and we ordered them.
Yeah, but I didn't order them.
That would be a massive waste of my fucking time.
To have ever said anything to him.
Well, I want to say it once.
And then if I went back and said, any response from Budweiser on that thing?
Well, I didn't send it out to him yet.
We didn't send it out, we finished it on Monday.
It'd be confusing.
He'd say, yeah, but I didn't know if you wanted it sent out.
I'd say, well, no, we finished it, he sent it out, by Thursday we should be hearing back
from them, instead they haven't read it yet. Yeah. Anyway. He sent it out by this Thursday. We should be hearing back from them said they haven't read it yet. Yeah
Anyway, so send it out and then if I went back four days after that the following Wednesday and said what's going on Budweiser?
Yeah, I didn't know what you wanted me to do with that. It would it would slow my life down
Yeah, and stop hurt my productivity quite a bit. Yeah, you're not agreed agreed agreed
So what I'm sort of saying to everyone or anyone who listen
let's not go through life that way because what prompted this
i'll tell you in a second
uh... i gotta i gotta do this audio book and
every second i way standing over here and having this conversation is another
this meeting that
or anything that's redundant in my life
i cannot have the other cut i can't get to the other stuff
Alright, put my yearbook down. I'll show you that in a second. Oh my god. Just put it down
Did you just find this or have you always had this? I've never owned any of my years
How'd you find this? Somebody sent it to me. Oh my god, set it down set it down. We'll get into it in a second
Here's my point next show last night
into it in a second. Here's my point. Next show. Last night, after watching the scintillating coverage of Baltimore burning. Fire! We were laying in bed, we were watching Modern Family
with the kids and Natalia and Sonny started going at it. They're arguing and arguing and no, Natalia. He doesn't call her Natalia.
Natalia. Don't know where he gets it. They call Olga, old guy, and he calls her Natalia.
And it's nobody else calls her Natalia. She would call her Natalia, but that's what he
does. He says, Natalia, no, no. And she's like, I just want to use your phone, Sonny.
Give me your phone or iPhone or whatever he's got. I just want to borrow it. No, and she's like I just want to use your phone sonny give me your phone or iPhone or whatever. He's got
I just want to borrow it no Natalia use yours
Okay
Where is?
Then the course to quit now. It's a big fight over
Borrowing his shit using his shit always grabbing for his shit. Yeah
Where is hers?
That's the question. Where's her stuff?
She has an iPhone.
Why doesn't she have it?
Answer, Erica has it.
Whoa.
Now, Erica is someone else's nanny who came over here and took the kids on Sunday because
Molly's a mess and she was like bleeding out.
Lynette had to take her to the vet and I had to take the kids in with me to do the podcast.
But Anton, the kids in town for a week and Erica agreed to pick them up and blah, blah,
blah.
Erica was holding Natalia's phone and when Lynette went and picked them up, why naturally
the phone did not come along with Natalia.
And now I'm having my evening ruined
because these two are arguing like cats and dogs.
And then you've got to start figuring
how they're gonna get the phone back.
Lynette does, but anyway.
So I have this, now here's what I'm saying.
What happens is, is we're sitting there
and it's at some point, because it's getting violent,
I have to chime in.
Where's your phone, Natalia?
Lynette and Natalia look at me and go, Erica has it.
Erica has it?
Erica's got the phone.
Okay.
So, why does Erica have the phone?
She took the phone from Natalia and she didn't give it back and
But don't worry. She's gonna come by tonight and she's gonna drop the phone off, but Erica took the phone Erica has the phone I said
Erica took the phone. Well, she was holding the phone for an attack. I said, hold on a second
just I'm sorry for sounding like an ass dick here, but
Natalia forgot the phone.
Yes, Lynette, yeah?
Well, no, Erica has it.
I wanna call this what it is,
and the reason I wanna call it what it is
is so that we can get something out of it
and then not have it happen with such frequency.
I'm not, what I don't want it to be is Erica took the phone
because that's just going down in everyone's head
is there's nothing anyone could have done about it.
This object named Erica kiped the phone.
Yeah, Erica offered to hold the phone for you
while you went down the slide.
And you forgot.
And because Erica is no CNN helicopter pilot and not a
reporter and you're you the phone is now a million miles away and we're having a
fight my living room but here's what I'm interested in making that not happen
again the only good that would ever come from this fight. We're having a throwdown at 930 in my in my bedroom now while I'm trying to relax
The this is bad. Yeah, the only way some good could come from this is if we properly label it and
then
Try hard to not to avoid it in the future. That's the only good that can be salvaged
Were they willing to let you do this?
They did a round and a half. Maybe two rounds of Erica's got the phone in the future. That's the only good that can be salvaged. Were they willing to let you do this?
They did a round and a half, maybe two rounds of Erika's got the phone. I had to do the
usual why are you being a dick move where I go, look, I'm sorry, but let's just let's
call it what it is. You, meaning Natalia, and to some degree Lynette forgot the phone, right?
right and
So did Erica, but you guys forgot it well, and don't do it in the future. We can avoid this. Yes
Yes, okay. Let's call it what it is, which I made me think of you
which is the first thing we need to do is
label things and
And say what they are. Yeah, you're right.
And it bleeds all the way into this,
what we're talking about.
That's how you said goals.
Forget about Baltimore, Ferguson.
If we're just gonna call this a young black man
running away and a cop chasing him
and shooting him in the back,
if that's what we're gonna label it,
we're gonna be in a lot of trouble.
We're not gonna learn anything.
We're gonna be in a lot of trouble. We're not going to learn anything. We're going to be in a lot of trouble.
The grand jury comes back and the woman with the black pride tattoo says under oath, no, no, he was walking at the cop when the cop shot him.
Little different story there.
So let's get our story correct and then we can look for ways to remedy it.
Well, as it pertains to.
There's no way to remedy running from a cop and getting shot in the back.
I mean walking at a cop we can work on.
I mean yes we can coach up the cops if that's in fact what happened but what I'm saying
is let's get the story straight and then let's work on the remedy. Let's not all just call it.
And there's, I don't know why, but I'm noticing more and more and more of just people living
in their own world and calling stuff what it is.
That's the whole PC thing.
We're falling into ideological sorts of...
Yeah, and the phone thing wasn't a PC thing.
The phone thing was, we don't really want to blame this on us.
I had a strange argument with a girl last night on Loveline about polyamory.
So I like really, she was like, there's a book written about this and it's the ethical
slut and this is what they say.
I'm like, oh, give a fuck what they say.
This is not real.
This is some sort of somebody's concept.
But you called me, I think. I don that I know polyamory is multiple partners partners it was it was
I know if it's multiple marriage or multiple. classics like insidious and Bram Stoker's Dracula or test your nerves with
haunting hits like urban legend and don't be afraid of the dark. Pluto TV has

I was doing and then we'll hop on the phones, was attempting to not be a dick, but also to attempt
to label what happened so that we could move on,
get something out of it.
What do you suppose it is when you go through your life often
and frequently finding yourself attempting not to be a dick?
What does that mean?
First thing I am is curious.
Secondly, you're attempting that well
This is being painted to me like Erica stole your phone. Yeah
Yeah, I'm
Interested thing not to be a dick. Well
But what what I used to do used to be
called
Helpful or being a dick maybe no, no, no, no, no, okay used to be called helpful.
Or being a dick, maybe.
No, no, no, no, no.
Okay.
I grew up listening to football coaches.
And football coaches would say,
you don't do it this way, you do it that way.
They'd put you down in a three-point stance,
they'd walk up and down and look at everyone in a three-point stance and then they'd walk up to one kid and they would kick
His hand out. Yeah, imagine that today literally we just kick his hand out
Kid would fall forward on his face. Yeah, then the coach would say you're putting too much weight on your front hand
Yeah squat bend your knees a little more put a little more weight over your thighs and butt get settled down
you're leaning too far forward and it's a CNN report yeah
exactly fire send you a text it just fire exclamation point after so now I
didn't I know you're a doctor you're very important you don't think I'm
important I do think you're important you wonder where my phone is at Erica's house
Never here never inside. But here's the point
He kicked my hand out and or someone else's hand and no one ever said what the fuck
Yeah, everyone he said you put in too much weight on your front hand. Yeah, and everyone's went. Oh, okay
I guess I got too much rain on my hand. Yeah, just it. Yeah. I'm not there was no nobody took it
Guys, we've got too much rain on my friend. Yeah, I know there was no nobody took it
Personally, yeah, they just went I got you. Yeah. Thank you, by the way. Now. I know a correct now I know the correct stance. Yeah, I that's that's how it was always taken
There's never like we never walked back the locker room and went. Yeah, that's Fitzgerald's really being a dick
There's none of that or why does he think I'm a bad person? There's none of that.
He thinks I have a bad football stance.
When did the football stance get connected to the person?
I don't know, but I had a weird fight with Warren Sapp over this very issue.
Go ahead.
They had me on...
Kick his hand out?
No.
They had me on Dancing with the Stars to do this sort of stupid thing where I was doing
therapy on the two dance
partners.
And it was this weird thing where Juliana Huff's partner was a young kid that had fallen
in love with her.
I sort of discovered it and he had had appendicitis and he started sobbing that he let her down
and he cared about her so much.
Anyway, it was kind of, it turned out something was going on.
But Warren Sapp was there and I go, dude,
I was kind of excited to meet him, was interested in him.
And I go, certainly you must have had a coach that
grabbed your mask and said, son, I got to help you.
I'm here to help you.
And he said, who do you think you are?
What makes you think coach ever talked to me?
Who do you think he ever talked to?
Nobody ever talked to me like that.
Who do you think?
And we literally have 15 minutes of him being un,
finally I went, I'm trying to do a fucking television show here you want to relax what we what are we doing here you want
to stop this to stop the struggle home are you going to do a fucking television
show what is the point why I think there's a 19 rap 19 laps around with the
guy from what no no I'm just saying that this just I'm just trying to think about
a metaphor here for what I'm trying to do to help you. You're not helping me. No one
would help me like that. What? Yeah, Warren Sapp's, yeah, defensive and prickly. That
was that whole, that's that phenomenon you're talking about. Like no one ever got near me
and how dare you say anybody did? What? I'm trying to help. Yeah, the Warren Sapp could run down Steve Young from behind, so he's fine.
Yeah, I know, I listen. What I'm saying is why, by the way, it's part of the narcissistic
movement, which is everything is personalized.
Yeah, it's offensive. which is everything is personalized. It's not the best thing you could do for yourself, everybody.
You know, I don't like to talk about myself.
I know that, I've noticed.
But I want you to clearly understand this.
I spent two years making a documentary
and I had this thing all planned out in my head.
I professionally shot
with a
Swedish guy named Morton an opening that involved me well lit in front of my cars looked beautiful. I
Was in my documentary. I was on every other side of the interview reacting asking questions. I had an opening
Hi, I'm Adam Carolla. I'm a Newman
You might know me from this my new and standing shot all night all night at my warehouse lit
Beautifully by a really masterful crew with all the cars in detail
Spread out blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah at a certain point somebody saw the documentary and said
It's good TV show with Adam in it without him out of it. It's a movie and I said, alright's a good TV show with Adam in it. With Adam out of it, it's a movie. And I said, all right, I'm out.
I didn't go, fuck that guy.
Who's he, what's he, by the way, the guy,
I didn't even know the guy.
The guy was a friend who worked in the industry
of Nate Adams, who I produced this with.
And Nate showed it to him and I said, what do you think?
And he said, this is what he said.
You out, we got a movie. movie you in we got a TV show
I I
Paused for about two seconds. I said alright. Let's see how we can do this. How are we gonna get me out?
I'm I did the whole opening. I did the whole closing. I did the whole check back with me or put the car
There's a whole thread about getting the car together and racing it my box. Yeah gone. Yeah, why I want to make a better movie. I didn't go
hit fuck that guy. He didn't know shit. No, I wanted to make a better movie. That's all. And I
believe the guy who didn't have a dog in the fight who just gave his opinion and it rang true to me.
I went I think you may be right. And here's the deal.
I'm not a hero or evolved. I wanted to make a better product
so I could sell more units of it.
And by the way, the footage you recorded
was not completely for Nod.
You could use it now for this promo tape or something
that you're sending to Budweiser.
So it'll be something.
No, I used to be all over my documentary.
I'm now not in my documentary
because one guy said, probably not.
And I didn't stick by it at all.
For me, I wanna make a better product.
So, that's what I'm saying to everybody.
You're so far out of that documentary
that it almost, it took me out of it a little bit
the first time I heard your voice because I have five minutes in before
you even hear your voice you only hear your voice two or three times but you
you excised yourself completely pretty much and I the movie used to be sort of
three-quarters Newman one-quarter me trying to finish a car and go race it
yeah it's gone All shots look nice
Well, yeah, but just because I want to I want a better product because got my name on it Matt
Hey 34. How you guys doing good, man?
So I had a interesting situation on Friday
My wife and I late 20s early 30s professionals. She's a lawyer, I'm a computer
guy. And we have an 18-month daughter and from time to time, the grandparents watch
her and we go out and partake in some recreational medical marijuana. And you know, nothing new,
probably been doing it myself for 19 years.
Do you guys have medical marijuana in Michigan?
We do.
Oh, interesting.
Yeah, we've had it for about five, six years now.
Okay.
So they're really starting to pass some laws.
A lot of cities are starting to zone
for like growing locations, you know,
really kind of, you know, a lot of dispensaries.
So really kind of pushing forward with this thing.
Drew, I've said for, I don't know how many years,
but you can
tell me at least 15 years if I ever had enough F-me money I would just grow
big pot plant my backyard and I would explain it's my property this is the
United States you cannot give me the intent to distribute because you haven't
seen me distribute you have to catch me selling this stuff.
I'm not selling this stuff.
It's my land.
I'm growing a pot plant on it for my consumption.
Fucking take it to the Supreme Court, you'd win.
Probably.
That can't prove that you're smoking it.
But I don't get with all the fucking
Hydroponic farms and underground farms and this grow areas and stuff if you have a fucking yard grow pot plant
What is it? All right? Anyway, well and you're allowed to hear you know, I think there's regulation
You got a you can't you have to have it in a window or a windowless room
Of course won't grow it. You know what I mean? Right? Yeah
so windowless room. Of course, it won't grow in Michigan, anyway. So, yeah, we had some
edibles on Friday. You know, now that these dispensaries are, you know, kind of up and
running, you can walk in and buy a chocolate bar. Matt, I just want to talk about you for
a second. Please. You know, as Matt goes, hey, we have these edibles. Dude, you said
you were professional, just tell me the story. You don't have to, hey, we have these edible. It's like, dude, you said you were professional.
Just tell me the story.
You don't have to do the commentary about what you're doing.
Hey, we have these cool edible.
Did he say he was partaking for 19 years?
Yeah, he's intermittently used.
But he's 15 years old.
Well, he's 13.
I mean, he's 34.
Since he was 15.
OK.
Yeah.
Well, OK.
That's a good run. All right, anyway. So you was 15. Okay. Yeah.
Okay, that's a good run.
All right, anyway.
So you took an edible pot.
So yeah, you could walk in, you could buy a chocolate bar, a recipe treat.
You have to be very, listen, those chocolate bars are potent.
People get very sick easily taking too much of that.
That is what I'm calling about.
So my wife had a, I mean all all that could be described as a textbook marijuana
overdose.
No, it's not an overdose. She had a psychotic episode from a high dose.
Well, that's true. In layman's terms, she took too much and freaked out.
Took too much. All right.
So my real question though, is it just a factor of the amount? Is it a factor of her personality?
Yes, the amount and the biology of a human brain, period.
Yeah, yeah.
Now we walked in, got our prescriptions from the doctor.
He asked us what ales you,
but there was never any personality test.
No real question.
It has nothing to do with anything.
Well, hold on, Drew.
The fact that...
No, in fact, they would say, well,
if you're an anxious person, you really need this drug. Well, no, I know a lot of people
that just don't mess with marijuana because it makes them... It makes them paranoid. It
makes them paranoid and they really have a bad reaction to it. There's no way to ascertain
that in advance. Everybody, if you take take enough will have a psychotic reaction.
Right, but I mean shouldn't you, I guess when you dispense other drugs or you prescribe
other drugs you go look if you're on an inhaler you shouldn't be doing this or if you're
on any blood thinning medication you shouldn't take it in concert with this, but what about
marijuana?
Don't confuse marijuana dispensaries with practicing medicine.
No, I think he's...
Yeah, I understood.
But what would you...
If you had...
If you were going to give somebody some marijuana pills or a bar, what would you have a question
or two?
Well, it's recreational, so...
Yeah, no, no, but they're claiming
they got a note from their doctor saying they got an issue.
It's a whole, yeah.
I know, but what would you want to know?
Are you an anxious person?
I'd want to make a diagnosis and understand
what I was treating and then look
at the possible treatments.
So that's how you do it.
You don't go, here's the treatment.
Now let's look at whether or not you can tolerate this treatment or whether you've got conditions that are suitable for this treatment or make
this treatment that we've not decided you have anything that you need it for is going
to hurt you.
It's just bizarre.
It's not medicine.
So, you know, it's, and there are, if you had panic attacks, for instance, I'm not sure
I'd be the right person.
That's what I'm saying.
You might ask, do you have panic attacks?
But then the way it's done these days, the way they think about people that work in the
Spanish, they go, you really need this.
But there's no consensus.
All right.
I want to thank you guys for tuning in.
