Enjoy this throwback episode, Eating a Brick. Recorded live at Corolla One Studios with Adam Corolla and board certified physician

Yeah, get it on. Got to get it on. No choice but to get it on. Mandate, get it on. Thanks for tuning in. Thanks for telling a friend.
Starting point is 00:01:32 Thanks for being a subscriber. Thanks for being a supporter. Thanks for doing this. Good day, Dr. Drew. Good day. Thanks for letting me do this. Thanks for being a part of this. Yeah. Thanks for listening to me too.
Starting point is 00:01:45 I got Philly cheesesteak in the other room. You can use your crazy dominion over him. Use those crazy eyes to sit and tell him what to do. Oh boy. He's like out in the hall here? Well, I just ran out of my car and told Matt to get him out of my car and get him up in here. I haven't seen him since he was a little puppy. I can't wait to see him.
Starting point is 00:02:07 Oh, well, you know, it's so weird because obviously I see him every day five times a day and then when people don't see him for two weeks, they go, oh my God, he's gotten so big. Right. So you saw him around Christmas time. Yeah. New Year's. New Year's.
Starting point is 00:02:22 So it's been a month and change for you. It's been a good six weeks, right? Yeah, we'll bring filly in and you tell me I could tell he's out there cuz look at them all are gathering around Yeah, I had this thing this I was in Irvine last night and so it was a Rainstorm LA to Irvine, which is just awesome. Also you realize it's like how insanely inept we must be as as Mike August and I were traveling to Irvine. Irvine's 45 miles out of LA but it's in Orange County where they apparently care or they they have something. You know it's weird you know know when you cross into Orange County, isn't that crazy?
Starting point is 00:03:08 It's like, oh, where are we? We're in Oz now. Yeah, because the five freeway as it passes through Los Angeles is first off, aesthetically, it's damnation alley. It's one of the biggest pieces. It's just broken down every movie about just Urban blight or the future of you know broken down the road to Baghdad, you know, it's Burning vehicles hobos raping each other for maybe three lanes going each way
Starting point is 00:03:40 Maybe and narrow narrow lanes again 18 wheelers on it And you get to some point where there's a chasm in the middle on each way, maybe, and narrow lanes. 18 wheelers on it. What? And then you get to some point where there's a chasm in the middle that's 85 feet across, and it goes on forever. Unused. And at a certain point, I just say to Mike, what are we doing? We've been going out to Irvine for five years. There's just this huge dirt swath that just goes right through.
Starting point is 00:04:03 I mean, it could accommodate 11 lanes. I don't know what... Well, as soon as you hit Anaheim, it does. Right. It just opens up. But it's like, what is this? What are we doing? Why is this this way? How many years... You just triggered something in me. How many years are we going on? And is traffic not a problem? Wait, no, no, wait. I'm going to take this a slightly different direction for you. And that is that the reason it opens up in Anaheim into this glorious gleaming, architecturally beautiful freeway is Mr. Disney's company agreed to help upgrade the system there.
Starting point is 00:04:42 Okay? Well, something's going on. Okay. But that's fine. Private sector. And as you keep going down into the Newport and Irvine, it remains equally as glorious. But, and he didn't do that, they didn't do that. But my point is, people are looking at the RAM Stadium coming into Inglewood and going,
Starting point is 00:04:56 oh, this is gonna be terrible. This is gonna be terrible, people live there. I thought, no, no, no, no, no, this is how things happen that are good. You can't rely on your government to do this. They won't. They muscle the private sector into doing it. Excellent.
Starting point is 00:05:09 And then you have real growth. I predict they'll actually dig into the, the NFL, they got a lot of capital. They will actually help with the educational system in Englewood as well as the infrastructure. That's my prediction. Anything would be better than nothing, which is what Englewood is now.
Starting point is 00:05:24 But everyone's complaining, they're gonna destroy Eng than nothing, which is what Inglewood is now. But everyone's complaining, like, they're going to destroy Inglewood. They're going to destroy it. Oh, Inglewood got destroyed in the 60s. I mean, or 70s. Yeah, by chasing businesses out. Inglewood's already destroyed. You don't want to fucking walk through Inglewood.
Starting point is 00:05:38 You run. But what is that thinking? I don't, I don't, I never, I was always the person that was sort of like I wish there was a Walmart closer by yeah, so I could go buy all my shit for cheap and I was like Oh, no, you don't want you don't know who why you're so naive You don't want Walmart in your neighborhood and I'm like, I think I do No, no, you don't get it. Like you're so naive, you don't understand.
Starting point is 00:06:09 And I'm like, you don't have to work at Walmart, do you? Like it's not gonna be the kind of thing where I walk into Walmart to buy a mop and they put a cap and a vest on me and I go, what? And I go, oh, you're never leaving. And I go, but I have a successful podcast. Oh, well you did. Now you're a greeter.
Starting point is 00:06:28 You'll be making 9.75 an hour. Do I get to buy a mop and then get back in my car and leave? Get discounts. It's like, yeah, all right. Are my kids gonna have to work there? I mean, you can choose to work there if you like, but do you have to work there? Like, no no but you know
Starting point is 00:06:46 so naive all right i guess so and then they go hey they put all the ma and pa places out of whatever well first off um i don't know what's a bigger better deal you know sort of serving the masses and making a bunch of stuff really affordable for them or Ma and Pog making it to year 75 of their Mr. Drucker store. Well the reality is we have places called Subway and Quiznos. They make sandwiches and they have 450,000 million franchisees across the land. I don't happen to like Subway. I happen to go to the Mon-Pas place and have a sandwich and probably pay a little bit more.
Starting point is 00:07:34 That's my prerogative. Right. And as long as the Mon-Pas place has the service, has the goods, and has the product. They'll out-compete the Subway. Or they'll exist. There's always going to be room for a hardware store on the corner. It doesn't all have to be Home Depot.
Starting point is 00:07:53 Sometimes people want to go into the hardware store and talk to a guy with 40 years experience and pay a couple of dollars more. Yeah. I understand that people are fearful of scaled power, economic power, right? So Subway, let's just stay with your mom and pop sandwich thing, is that Subway scaled up so they have an unfair advantage because they have the economics of scale on their side.
Starting point is 00:08:15 Yeah. But whenever something is big and bloated and scaled up, that's the opportunity for a little guy to offer something a little better. Well. And outcomp compete him. Look, there are 11 subways within three miles of where we sit and then there's a place called Giamello's which is three miles, two miles from where we sit and if you go into Giamello's, I believe there's one, maybe two in the entire San Fernando Valley. If you go in there at noon, there's going to be a long line of people trying to get a sub sandwich from Gia Mello's because they have a pretty
Starting point is 00:08:48 good product for five bucks. As long as Gia Mello's keeps cranking out their consistent product at their price at any time at noon, there's going to be a long line. That's how Gia Mello's works. I'm fine with Subway with subway and gmls. Yeah, there's room for everybody That's the point well to crush anybody you let the market work. Yeah, there's room for everybody if everyone Er there's room for anyone who's good Yeah, or anyone who had the consumer benefits when you create that kind of dynamism You don't fuck with it. you just let it be. I agree, now we need somebody to compete to finish the five freeway because there is,
Starting point is 00:09:30 and Gary will find a picture of it, I mean, there isn't 35 feet, there's 75 feet in between, I could barely see the lane heading the other direction. I'm like, this is a lot of fucking real estate in the middle of this place. Anyway, it was pouring rain. Then we drove home in the pouring rain.
Starting point is 00:09:51 And then this morning, because it was pouring, it was raining again, I had this thing, and I'm never quite sure how to approach my life, but I end up doing it this way. But I realized it doesn't really work. Like I'll talk to people. Unfortunately, I have this theory that we've ruined the word literally. And because we've ruined the word literally, I will have people on the phone and I'll go, call me back in literally three minutes. Not later, just three minutes from right now, literally.
Starting point is 00:10:28 I'll hang up the phone. You have to change your language. I know, 15 minutes later the phone will ring and I'll be, I meant it, when I said three minutes. A new word, precisely. Say precisely three minutes. And exactly, not even exactly, but precisely. We'll see how, if I can figure that one out in Spanish.
Starting point is 00:10:43 I'm sure it's one of those big words they just stole from us like precise. Precisamente. Yeah, precisamente like you did with dictionary. But the point is, is I had, here's what I had to contend with this morning after getting home at midnight last night. I got two dudes that are painting my house, but it's raining. But never fear, I have a whole bunch of stuff inside the house, a whole bunch of gotta patch this,
Starting point is 00:11:11 gotta patch that, I want you to pull this old intercom speaker thing out of the wall, drywall it and patch it up, I had eight different places. Now, I have my kids and wife leaving for school, I don't wanna use the word precisely, Now, I have my kids and wife leaving for school, I don't wanna use the word precisely, but somewhere in the neighborhood of, somewhere between 805 and 811, they're leaving for school. I, that's a decent shot, Gary, but um.
Starting point is 00:11:40 But that gives you the flavor of the five free words. I think that's Telegraph Road alongside the 5-3-way. I need one maybe from a higher angle looking down, because I'm telling you, the gap that shows the other lane going the other direction, because there's a huge... Look at the blight. I'll see what I can find, but this is from Google Maps, which are this car-mounted cameras. But hold on. Yeah, we'll get the ones that are...
Starting point is 00:12:01 Just keep going further down. But just go further down that road. But look, if you were to look at that picture and show somebody go where is that picture they go? Syria Lebanon Syria what yeah, no it's it's it's a pile of shit LA is a pile of shit, and I've said it a few times and the thing that drives me insane is the mayor of This city that's supposed to be a shining beacon of light on the mountain All he talks about
Starting point is 00:12:25 is what we're going to do with the homeless, which is by the way, no, I get it. But when you're saying when you're the mayor of a city and you're like, we need to address a very serious homeless problem, you're basically it's like you're chatting to a chick online about dating her and she's like, you know, I'm thinking about an elective surgery because after losing the 321 pounds I have so much panacea, so much extra, so much extra flesh that I'm thinking about, I don't think it's ever gonna tighten up, like I think I'm gonna have it removed and stitched up. And you're starting to think to yourself, hot chicks aren't,
Starting point is 00:13:08 these aren't the words of a hot chick. Do you know what I mean? Like when you're the mayor of a city and you're talking about a massive homeless problem, you're already saying our city's a piece of shit, ostensibly. You're not saying it, but- You're admitting it. You're not supposed to have a massive homeless problem in a good
Starting point is 00:13:27 city. There's no historically never been a good city. Go back thousands of years where there's, well, we got to address this. We're a great city. We're cutting edge, you know, the best of everything. We're talking about a new stadium, maybe we'll get two NFAs. Anyway, there's this homeless problem that's massive. That means your city's a piece of shit. It means you've neglected your city. You don't have a massive homeless problem. Well, we didn't have it on Monday, but today's Wednesday. Now we have a...
Starting point is 00:13:57 No. That means you have let a homeless problem spin out of control for a decade, and it is now a big homeless problem. So you're essentially saying we don't know how to fucking run a city because we have a massive homeless problem. It's like saying, oh it's a really nice house. It has a massive rat infestation in Roche and it's like, well it's not a really nice house number one and number two. How did it get a massive? You must have left this place Unattended to for a long period of time in order to have this massive infestation. Yeah
Starting point is 00:14:34 That's you fucked up your house. You see how what are they but what are the city been doing that? Well, that's your opinion. Well, what I want to say is a big nice house Well, what I want to say is a big nice house, no matter how nice, no matter how big, look, wherever Angelina and Brad Garrett live, I guarantee there's rats. Brad Garrett. Brad Pitt. Wherever they live, it would be funny if Brad Garrett lived with Angelina. Wherever they live, there are rats. There are plenty of rats in Beverly Hills.
Starting point is 00:15:04 Here's what happens. they live there are rats there are plenty of rats in Beverly Hills here's what happens at some point Angelina Jolie heads out to the pool house or the housekeeper heads out to the pool house and they find a dead rat in the pool house and they call the exterminator that one one rat one rat too many they don't see the one rat in there and go ah we're gonna do and then leave with the door open and then they don't spot one in the, you know, entry hall two days later and go, ah, what are you going to do? And leave with the door open again. And then they come to the bedroom and there's three in the bedroom. Put shoes on. We'll get to it. We'll get to it. Leave a window open and walk out. And then
Starting point is 00:15:40 they see all the IV growing on the side of the house and they leave the bedroom window open and We found more rat droppings in the kitchen. What has the city done been doing? Well first off they've been doing nothing But what should what they should do what you do when you live in a house Which is the first time you see there's evidence of a problem you start to focus and address evidence of a problem, you start to focus and address, meaning, what do we got here? We got rats. What's up? Well, the ivies growing up the side of the house, they're attracted to the ivy. They live in the ivy, they come up the side of the house.
Starting point is 00:16:14 Well, what do we got? Oh, we got it on the roof, the vent screen is pulled off, they're getting into the attic. You see what I'm saying? Yeah. I'm not saying homeless people are rats. I'm saying you see something that's happening I'm gonna start to address that what they didn't do My question is what were they doing that kept them preoccupied perhaps? Well, they weren't working on the fucking five
Starting point is 00:16:35 They were cooking with blue apron. Yeah, baby Mmm learning to cook at home. I played last night last night was awesome What'd you have sort of a risotto dish some type? I couldn't night. Last night was awesome. What'd you have? Sort of a risotto dish some type. I couldn't even describe what it was except good. I did not make it myself. I'll tell you what they, no, me neither. I just hand the box to Olga. But I know it was easy because no one was complaining. Who made it? Susan's out of town. We have an old Lynette's colonizing Mars. So I had blue I had Olga do it this time No, she was in town. She actually likes to cook She's done the blip actually she set out to make the blue apron thing and I talked her into going out for Valentine's
Starting point is 00:17:17 But she was gonna make that on Valentine's Day and then she left town You know what we do because there's a few mouths to feed at the Corolla house, sometimes Olga will take the blue apron and just take the amount and just double it. Just to make sure that the kids and Lynette and Philly cheesesteak, you know, they everybody. Well, you'll see he's big now. He has that film no he gets up on his hind legs and let him do that yeah speaking of rat infestation you start that behavior now we let everyone do everything I mean I'll see I'll see

Starting point is 00:20:13 He's up on you, buddy. All right. Is he grown? Yeah, he has not as much as I thought he would have given the pictures I was seeing. So I'm prepared for this. Okay. So this is good. All right.
Starting point is 00:20:24 All right. All right. All right. Questions? No, no, hold on. Things on your mind? Yeah, I have a couple things. A, I owe you an apology. I do not want to give excuses because I hate excuses,
Starting point is 00:20:36 but I do have an explanation for what happened to me. I was supposed to be in North Hollywood with you coming up at the Alportale Theater, which is next week. But you got a cool replacement for me, which is awesome. Soledad O'Brien is a really interesting top-notch reporter. I've liked her for a long time. She's been around a while. Hi, Philly.
Starting point is 00:20:55 Hi, big boy. She has twins, you know, too. That'd be interesting to talk about. Oh, I didn't know that. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Well, Phil, what you want, Phil?
Starting point is 00:21:04 His personality is a lot like Rex, I got to tell you. They are the same dude. We gotta get them together, that's what we gotta do. They'll implode. Rex is Drew's fourth child from another marriage who's severely retarded and they rarely speak of. He barks like that. Again, Drew, it's the kind of thing where Drew's never overtly told me not to speak of Rex, but it was always understood. He's got a little extra fur.
Starting point is 00:21:25 But now that he's been moved to a new home, I guess we can speak about him. All right, Phil, don't eat me. He's got everything's the mouth, man. Yeah, I know. That's how big the part of his brain is that's dedicated to the mouth. Oh my God. Okay. Everyone's tested with the mouth.
Starting point is 00:21:40 Oh, he's chewing, he's chewing. And then greeted with the mouth. But here's the... Ow! I swear to Christ, August gave me a different date. I looked at it on the calendar and I said, that's the day. I put it on my calendar right when he told me, but I will accept the responsibility. I hate, I hate. All right. Well, there's always, you can always blame Mike in the calendar.
Starting point is 00:21:57 No, but I hate, I hate the guys. But anyway, I apologize. I never would have accepted on that other day. That's, that's north of, ow. Oh, he's going to rip that apart. All right. Bill, it's enough. that other day. That's North Hollywood. Alright, Bill. North Hollywood, El Portreau Theater. That's right. That'll be next Saturday. And Soul That O'Brien will be there.
Starting point is 00:22:13 And those tickets are going to sell out. So go do that. We'll do a live podcast there. Speaking of responsibility. So I want to take responsibility for being a couple minutes late because I was staring down the barrel at this morning yesterday. I knew I was going to be in Irvine last night. I knew the kids were going to be in the mad dash mode to get out of the house in the morning. I knew I had to be here and also knew that my guys were going to show up and it was raining outside so I had all this patching stuff I wanted them to do in
Starting point is 00:22:48 the house but I knew I was gonna have to walk through them bathroom kitchen garage bedroom I was gonna have to go here's one here's one I need this patch that patch pull this speaker out put this patch in there and so I didn't know what to do and I guess I should do something that I don't like. What do you want, Phil? I do something I don't like, which is start kind of lying to people. Oh, like who?
Starting point is 00:23:15 Well, I told these guys, be at my house, eight, 10 sharp. Okay, precisely. Eight, 10 sharp. Precisely. Well, not sure if that carried across from a language standpoint, but I said eight, 10 sharp. Precisely. Well, not sure if that carried across from a language standpoint, but I said 810 sharp and my plan was I would walk them through what I needed to walk them through. Hey, Philly cheesesteak.
Starting point is 00:23:36 Hey. You know, it's funny what he does. He has this sort of witching hour, 9 o'clock at night. I'll just be sitting on the sofa and he'll just be looking at me and I'll go yeah and I'll go what do you want Phil and it's just sitting there like this trying to talk to me yeah I need to play I need to play There you know with area maxipata take Philly cheesesteak with you for you All right, so I
Starting point is 00:24:13 Found myself all I could say to those guys was show up at 810 My my mind the kids will be walking out the door They'll be walking in the door and I'll walk them around in five minutes, point this stuff out, jump my car and leave. Except for at 818, I found myself sitting in my car in the driveway without them this morning thinking, do I just leave? If I just leave, they're going to pull up in five minutes, the house going to be locked, I leave the house open. open if they show up they don't know where they don't know what to do inside the house other than there's patching but I just found myself and I just went fucking I'm leaving and I just put Philly cheesesteak
Starting point is 00:24:56 in and I just got my car and as I was pulling out of my driveway they came pulling up sort of casually with the, Hey, what are we? Five minutes late. Sorry about that boss. Now my, your whole day's off. My whole fucking thing's off. Now I grab them and I run them through the house, point, point, point, point, point, and then run out the house kind of thing. But my thing is, is I don't really want them there at eight. No, I get it because the kids are packing and leaving. But 818 ain't gonna work. I think the new, here's what I think the new one is.
Starting point is 00:25:30 And you know what it is? Know what it is? It kills me when people have, you know what kills me? As you know, waste. And I'll give you a, for instance. Before you get into it, what's not wasteful is 5'4 Club. No waste. Insane. I was wearing their pants. I wear their shit. You find a picture of me from on stage last night.

My only weirdness in a world of filth, my only thing I normally do is I like to throw things, pass them through the washing machine once before I wear all the jeans and shirts. I didn't do it. I just put it all on. Did they sit in one of those sort of bluish hoodies? Did you get one of those? No, I got about three or four sweaters and two or three pants.
Starting point is 00:27:11 Oh, anymore pants. Like I said, the pants are my own stage pants now. They sent me one pair of pants. I don't get... There's been a couple other companies I've spoken to and they're like, we do jeans. How much? $182 for these jeans. It's like, why? The jeans they gave me are nice.

And there was a pile of stuff on the front table that Rob at the other warehouse ordered,
Starting point is 00:28:02 spray paint, car stuff. And Nick was heading over there It's like Nick you're heading over there. Yeah here load up He was walking But he still said load up with these boxes and start walking with these boxes because I went if you're going from here to there I want those going with you use it. It's all use it. It's all it's all it's a basic. It's the simplest theorem, I guess in the world, which is, I am, when I'm sitting in my office and I realize I'm going to stand up and go to the kitchen and get something out of the refrigerator, I look for things in my office to carry with me.
Starting point is 00:28:42 Even if it's not going to the kitchen, it's halfway to the bedroom. Like I'm this vessel that is making this trip. An empty vessel? I'm an empty vessel that is going this way on this ocean of life. I want something with me and even if it's going to the bedroom, I'll just set it down. It'll be the halfway point. You're just one of those freight ships. Yeah. I'm a container ship.
Starting point is 00:29:03 I put a bunch of... Yeah, that's you. That's pretty much someone else's. It'll be the halfway point. You're just one of those freight ships. I'm a container ship. Put a bunch of... Yeah, that's you. That's pretty much some of us. And that's the way... So my thing is what I realize is that doesn't always work out. And what I need to do is I need to say to my guys, eight o'clock, sharp, wait. Show up at eight, wait.
Starting point is 00:29:23 Yeah. If you show up at 8.03, show up at 8. Weight. Yeah. If you show up at 8.03, show up at 8.03. Don't say weight because then they'll wait to be late. Just say, I'll meet you, stand, stay there until I meet you in the parking lot, in the driveway. Just show up at 8. Yeah, I'll meet you in the driveway.
Starting point is 00:29:34 And, oh yeah, but I don't want them, I just show up at 8 and I'll come out and get you. Instead of show up at 8.10, which is 8.18 throw throw my whole my whole shit off. That's all thing, but My fantasies they show up at 759 and they're just sitting there for 10 minutes doing nothing Well, I will be paying them but I still the idea of these two guys just gonna sit in their car It seems like this crazy waste. Yeah to me. So I shoot for 810 except for it never no Exactly works out all right then we have a call up there I got a bunch more stuff on well let's go to cost all right let's see Chad 41 good how you doing the
Starting point is 00:30:22 grinding of a Buick down to a pulp to where you sprinkle a little bit over your food and you could eat a whole Buick over a lifetime. So my question is if people have the fear of the toxins in water bottles, if you were to grind a water bottle, a single water bottle down and do the same thing, do you think it would kill you? What? No. Listen, wait, listen, it's good enough, it got us onto the metaphor, which is I've always said, look,
Starting point is 00:30:56 you can kind of do anything you want, you just have to get going on it, and you have to be kind of consistent about it. I've had the luxury, and when I say luxury, I don't really mean luxury, but I've had the luxury of the experience of rebuilding many a house that was a fucking mess and warehouse and facilities that were just big massive piles of ever room was fucked up and the driveway and everything and I know what it's like to beginning middle end. I have that thing in my judgment it's not even judgment
Starting point is 00:31:29 judgment because you've had experience you have wisdom about it what I'm saying is is my wife doesn't have that experience yeah so for her things are overwhelming yes I feel that way because I don't experience this is a this is a really important conversation because people do not understand Experiential learning that's wisdom. That's where you can look at something go. Yeah, I can't or I can't do that Or here's how that's gonna go. You can't sort of you know, you can't lay that out as a map It's not it's a it's a kind of a thing. It's a holistic approach. It's a wisdom Yeah, you can look at that and go, yeah, I can do that.
Starting point is 00:32:05 Here's how it's going to go. But it's something that's... Listen, I saw a great sign yesterday that said, please don't confuse your Google search with my medical degree. And it's the difference between Google search and medical training. Drew's got a new license plate frame. I know. It's a great idea.
Starting point is 00:32:21 Well, I'll give you a very good example of that. And it's an ongoing discussion I have with Lynette, but it's also an ongoing discussion I have with the kids and an ongoing discussion I have with people in life, which is sort of, how do you do this? How do you do this? How do you do this? And I just go, you start doing it. You start doing it. That's the other important piece. So one piece is, this is really important, and this is a piece that no one understands. I've just noticed this over and over again. So one piece is the importance of experiential learning, having done something.
Starting point is 00:33:00 Okay, that's number one. But number two is how to approach what's called an overwhelming task. Even if you perceive it to be overwhelming, if you haven't had the experience, how do you approach it? Like let's say you had to, for me when I was a kid, when I was a, I sort of changed directions a couple times in my education and when I decided finally to really go to medical school, it seemed like an overwhelming task to me. And in my mind's eye, I imagined I was building
Starting point is 00:33:25 a brick wall that went to infinity. And I was like, how am I gonna do this? I can't see the top of it. And I thought, oh, one brick, each brick, one brick, that's how I'm gonna do this. I'm gonna do this one brick. So you just start. And that's how you do it, one brick at a time.
Starting point is 00:33:39 Well, the reality is- Or one piece before you meet the blue Buick. Everything is, when you lay it out in paper in front of you, is impossible and overwhelming. Life, just being born and making it to 80 on paper seems insane. Everything seems very undoable. You know what I mean? When you're swinging a hammer on a construction site, how do you do a syndicated radio show? Impossible.
Starting point is 00:34:10 I don't know anybody. I've never met anybody. I don't even know where the radio station is. It's undoable. Everything seems undoable. Then when you start doing things, for me, buying a huge house that was on a huge plot of land where every square inch of the house and the land was a broken down mess, going through every square inch of that house inside, outside and turning it into brand new, gives you some
Starting point is 00:34:39 sort of, imbibes you with some power that's invisible that you walk around with that nobody sees. Nobody's like, wow, look at the size of Corolla's biceps. He must really be getting a lot done. No, it's all in my head. And my head isn't any bigger or my IQ is not grown. But my God, when you make a documentary, the second one is so much easier and and by the way They're out child room. I'm gonna get your kids second one We don't know that we have multiples the the difference between
