Starting point is 00:00:00 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
Starting point is 00:00:29 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. Drew show yeah get it on got to get it on no choice but to get it on mandate get it on thanks so much for joining the show my voice is a little bad because

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.

Drew over there we're watching him on television last night me and my wife. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:01:48 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
Starting point is 00:02:09 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.
Starting point is 00:02:42 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
Starting point is 00:03:19 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
Starting point is 00:03:51 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?
Starting point is 00:04:41 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
Starting point is 00:05:14 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
Starting point is 00:06:00 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
Starting point is 00:06:40 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...
Starting point is 00:07:14 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
Starting point is 00:07:47 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
Starting point is 00:08:35 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?
Starting point is 00:08:51 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
Starting point is 00:09:18 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.
Starting point is 00:10:13 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
Starting point is 00:10:48 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.
Starting point is 00:11:29 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.
Starting point is 00:11:47 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.
Starting point is 00:12:03 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
Starting point is 00:12:32 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?
Starting point is 00:12:53 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?
Starting point is 00:13:17 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.
Starting point is 00:13:59 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.
Starting point is 00:14:28 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.
Starting point is 00:14:43 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
Starting point is 00:15:29 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
Starting point is 00:16:17 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.
Starting point is 00:16:59 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
Starting point is 00:17:23 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.
Starting point is 00:17:33 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.
Starting point is 00:17:44 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.
Starting point is 00:18:13 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
Starting point is 00:18:38 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.
Starting point is 00:19:14 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.
Starting point is 00:19:57 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
Starting point is 00:20:15 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.
Starting point is 00:20:33 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.
Starting point is 00:21:09 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
Starting point is 00:21:40 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.
Starting point is 00:22:25 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,
Starting point is 00:22:53 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
Starting point is 00:23:20 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,
Starting point is 00:23:50 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.
Starting point is 00:24:16 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
Starting point is 00:24:44 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
Starting point is 00:25:23 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.
Starting point is 00:25:44 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
Starting point is 00:26:26 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.
Starting point is 00:26:55 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?
Starting point is 00:27:17 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.
Starting point is 00:27:39 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.
Starting point is 00:27:52 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
Starting point is 00:28:20 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,
Starting point is 00:29:13 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
Starting point is 00:29:54 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
Starting point is 00:30:51 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?
Starting point is 00:31:10 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
Starting point is 00:31:37 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
Starting point is 00:32:04 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.
Starting point is 00:32:54 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
Starting point is 00:33:19 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.
Starting point is 00:33:45 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
Starting point is 00:34:13 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.
Starting point is 00:34:35 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
Starting point is 00:35:04 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
Starting point is 00:35:25 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
Starting point is 00:35:53 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
Starting point is 00:36:30 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.
Starting point is 00:37:05 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,
Starting point is 00:37:20 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.
Starting point is 00:37:49 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.
Starting point is 00:38:22 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
Starting point is 00:38:49 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 hundreds of channels and thousands of terrifying movies live and on demand. Download Pluto TV on all your favorite devices and start streaming now. So what 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
Starting point is 00:39:36 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
Starting point is 00:40:02 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.
Starting point is 00:40:21 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
Starting point is 00:41:01 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
Starting point is 00:41:40 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.
Starting point is 00:41:59 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.
Starting point is 00:42:22 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?
Starting point is 00:42:37 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
Starting point is 00:43:07 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.
Starting point is 00:43:51 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
Starting point is 00:44:23 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
Starting point is 00:44:56 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
Starting point is 00:45:26 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
Starting point is 00:46:00 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.
Starting point is 00:46:19 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
Starting point is 00:46:52 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.
Starting point is 00:47:25 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.
Starting point is 00:47:41 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.
Starting point is 00:48:08 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
Starting point is 00:48:41 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.
Starting point is 00:49:09 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.
Starting point is 00:49:23 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.
Starting point is 00:49:36 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?
Starting point is 00:50:03 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.
Starting point is 00:50:22 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
Starting point is 00:50:58 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
Starting point is 00:51:21 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
Starting point is 00:51:35 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.
Starting point is 00:51:54 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.
