Time for throwback episode from August 2016. We are having a question regarding the previous show. And then, of course, Adam regales me with a story about his shop assistant, Rob and Gary, not getting the full thrust of his instructions. Oh, my God, I've never heard him talk about that before. We then turn to the phones and speak to a few callers, including one who is getting sober and looking for advice on how to detox from alcohol, as well as another who started his own business and is looking for advice on cultivating capital investment.

enjoy this throwback episode from a different era, yet roughly nearly 10 years ago when things seemed so different. August 4th, 2016, throwback episode. Recorded live at Corolla 1 Studios with Adam Carolla and board certified physician and addiction medicine specialist Dr. Drew Pinsky. You're listening to The Adam and Dr. Drew Show. Yeah, get it on. Got to get it on. get on mandate. Get it on and welcome to the program. I'm Adam Crawl. It's Drusky over there, man. Yeah, buddy. Hey, I got a couple things today. Um, last show you called it it's all intentions.

I didn't quite get the full meaning of it. I, you have to make it explicit for me, unfortunately. I've had situations where it's like somebody sent somebody an email and then that's person took that email and sent it to somebody else who they knew it would piss off. And then you talk to the one person who sent the email who had no idea that the other person was going to send an email to the person who was going to piss off. And then that person would be apologizing. I'm so sorry. And I go, no, no, I'm not mad at you.

I'm mad at the person who sent it to the other person. Right. What you were doing is just a piece of business. What they were doing is trying to agitate. Right. For no gain for themselves. There was an intention. Yes.

with no gain. And so what I was saying in the last show is I just look at what people do. I get I get really confused. We're talking about the Brady Bunch, but I get really confused that when somebody, a child or somebody is reaching for something and knocks a glass off a table and it lands on the ceramic floor and breaks. And then the person starts yelling at the nine-year-old.

What are you doing reaching for the asperia? I'm sorry, Mom, I didn't see it. Well, who's going to clean this? like, what are you trying to do here? And I, what behavior would you like to correct, not reaching for vegetables? Like, you think they did it on purpose? I don't even know what we're talking about. I don't even talk.

I don't even. I just be more careful, but, you know. They've learned that through the sound of the broken glass. Yeah, yeah. At when. So, as far as Pirel goes, what I was saying is, is, I don't care about germs, but as far as people putting their feet on my sofa, that's just more an intentional. That's an intention.

Yeah. So more than it is, I don't care about germs. I don't care about broken glass. I don't care about destroyed cars. I don't care about any stuff. Right. I just care about what was the motivation. What if it's just carelessness and they weren't focusing the way you'd ask them to?

You understand what I'm saying? That's kind of an intentionality. Yeah, no. When I'm very direct and very descriptive with things and very, you know, when I'm describing things to somebody and they're not coming through with them. It's a disregard, sort of. Oh, my God. Did I have a...

Gary, you might get demoted to 3-8 start after what happened yesterday. Uh-oh. I, um, not you. Oh, somebody said demoted, and I was listening to the math. Not demoted. You may get an upgrade. Displaced. Upgrade to 3-8-star.

I can't use promotion. Upgrade. Like it. I like it. Gary Fultard and Rob the other day Woo! Oh yeah, I've been interested in this. I heard I was standing nearby

when Rob was explaining this to you on the phone and the frustration as you walked away from me towards the other shop was palpable. It was good. So I tore out a bunch of closets at my house and I'm going to rebuild them with, you know, ball-bearing slides and pull-outs and, you know, all the stuff.

All the stuff, all the great comedians. do when they're not on the road doing comedy. Just journeyman-style craftsman carpentry at their house. You know, same thing Doug Benson would be doing. Same thing, Sir. Silverman would be doing. All the great comedians. All the big earners.

I mean, the big guys, not the guys you haven't heard of, but the guys who make the big bucks, the headliners, the guys who play the theaters. They're all crassum. Jim Jeffries, they're all they do when they're not on the road, making the big bucks, they're at home, sleeves rolled up, head down, just working their tail. Norm MacDonald.

I think Norm actually makes furniture. It goes on and on. Whatever it is. The garage door's on the fritz. He's on it. Cabinet door, a little sticky, Norm's on it. Or you need a full-blown kitchen remit. Norm's on it.

So I'm just falling in a great tradition of comedians who never stop working, and then when they're not working, they go home and rebuild everything. Kathy Griffin, I'm sure. Well, that was too obvious. I didn't want to bring that one up. But, okay, der. So that's what I'm doing. And I, uh, I,

am unfortunately not there a lot i'm here a lot so i'm trying to walk people that have some some skill set but not cabinet builders although gary fultard is as a rich history in cabinet building he has done a lot of cabinetry uh and it's quite good at it um through 30 years experience i uh am trying to walk everyone through how to do it and then i'm going to split and it starts with a lot of like You know what a conformat screw is? No. Okay. Confirmat screw is short, stubby, it's thick.

It's not sharp at the end. It's a Phillips head. I have them in the screw box. I have them in the drawer. They need a special conformat bit. When I point, by the way, Drew, that way. That way, that's your cue to turn your head to the direction I'm pointing. Whether we're standing in railroad tracks or sitting in a studio.

If I point, you should, your gaze should go the direction point. Anyway, it's confirmat screw, which I, listen, I understand. I know what it is. No one else knows what it is. So I'm just going to walk you through it. And at a certain point, so what I do in the evenings is I call Rob and I say, look, here's what you need to do. You need to pick up sheets at the Home Depot, sheets of vinyl-coated white material. They're going to be 49 inches wide. You're going to set the table soft. 16 and an eighth. Sorry, 16 and a quarter.

And you're going to make two cuts, not three, two. The last one will be the exact same size when you deduct the eighth inch for the blade times two. That'll put you at 49. So no need to put that third one through. Again, that's more work. You'll rip it up. You're going to bring it here, blah, blah, blah.

Then I need you to get the confermat screws, describe that, the bit, blah, blah, blah. I need you to get the nail gun. Bring the nail gun. and bring the staple gun. So we've got to put these boxes together, essentially. And then get the quarter inch thick MDF with the vinyl coating on it. That'll be the back. Was he writing this down one?

Okay. So does he spill it back to you to make sure he's got it? He's usually got it. And I don't talk too fast. And I know he's got Gary with him too. And Gary builds a lot of drawers, cabinets, and things like that. at a certain point, Gary, uh,

516th time. Moving on. Uh, the conversation you heard me saying the conversation that you're in and then what happens is in between every podcast, I call Rob and I go, what's going?

What do you need? What's the problem? And then because I can see everything, every single thing like a pilot that's flown a 777 for nine years and you're starting telling me where the altimeter is, I can just see

the entire gauge cluster. You take it in. I see everything that he's talking about. It's like digitally, I can see it my brain. It's a wholenism you get with judgment. And of doing these things, millions of pieces, yeah. Millions of times.

In medicine, the way it works is you have to, when you see a certain set of symptoms, you have to make a list of possibilities. And when you've done it millions of times, you walk in the room, you go, oh, I know what this is. Yeah. It's like the whole list appears, boom, in your head.

And you can pick the one that's most So I know what's going to happen. I can picture everything. So I called Rob and what Gary heard was me, Rob saying, we got a problem. And I said, what's the problem? He said, well, we put the boxes together. But now we're trying to put the quarter inch MDF particle board, super hard particle board. I mean, MDF, you couldn't, if you shoved your thumb fingernail into it as hard as you could, you couldn't make it.

You couldn't find the space that you did it on. make a mark. And it's vinyl coated. And you put it on and you put the white vinyl to create the back for the cabinet. So when you open the cabinet doors and you're pulling the sheets out, you're not looking at the wall. Yeah. Okay. So he said, I've got a problem putting the back on.

Now, I had them rip the back and cut the back and make the back the right size and blah, blah, blah, before he brought it out there. But it said the staples aren't working. I said, what's wrong? We're using a staple gun. It's not working. I keep like bouncing off. I said, well, how thick?

Hmm. Gary's going to enjoy this. I said, well, what size staples are you using? He said, three-eighths. I said, you're going through a quarter-inch material with a three-eighth staple? How much? You're holding a huge, the back is four-foot wide by seven-foot tall. How are you going to hold the back?

back onto this thing with a three-eighth inch staple. Of course, it's not going to pop off. It's not going to work. Well, you told me to use the staple gun. Wait a minute. What's the staple gun, the one we used to put up the paper, the foil for the rating barrier in the attic. I said, no, Rob, I said, get the nail gun, yeah, and then get the staple gun. that's what I got.

I said, no, the staple gun that you plug into the compressor and fire the inch and a quarter staples to hold the back on. You said get the staple gun. Okay, I did not say get the pneumatic staple gun, but I said get the nail gun, which is, fires off the compressor,

and then the next thing out of my mouth was, and get the staple gun, meaning they're all, they're sitting next to each other on the shelf that has the guns. Grab this one, grab that one, grab that one. See, in my mind, I have this conversation all the time where I say I'll always be on the subject we're on. Yes. So if you, if I bring up, get the nail gun and get the staple gun, I'm still talking about pneumatic guns here. But anyway, I don't have a part of my mind that can

dream up a scenario where you get a hand stapler that's literally meant for putting up butcher paper. We got to figure out why that happens because I, well, I, there was. The main reason I don't understand it is Gary, who builds cabinets for a living, is standing there or somewhere in the vicinity. Like, go to Gary and go. And Gary's presumably standing around while Rob's trying to staple. I understand. I get it. That part's, thus the moniker for their names.

But the staple gun conversion in his mind is something you complain about a lot. I think I do it to you. Hang on, I do it to you, too. The comedy is he knows we have a staple gun at my house, the kind he uses. Yeah. So it's a weird thing saying, get the staple gun, because that's in your garage, boss. If you'll permit me. Go ahead.

I would argue this even just happened when you were doing the pointing thing. Because in my head, the pointing is what you were doing to Gary, and you were just reenacting that. I didn't understand the pointing was to me, even though to you it was obvious, and in retrospect, it was obvious. but in my head it was you just acting out what you were doing what you were saying and doing to Gary at the time, right? Right. So you never heard me just hold my finger out for an extended period of time. I get you. In retrospect, it was obvious.

What's the screen you use? No, yes. In retrospect, it was obvious. But at the moment, I was doing a little conversion. Okay. There's something there that your brain doesn't do that other people's brains do. And by the way, what's the opposite? My brain doesn't.

Other people doesn't do it. Okay. Whichever it is. And it's why you may be in that core phenomenon, maybe is why you see things other people don't see instead. Well, I know. It's not even, yes, I agree. I do agree with that. It has to be.

I have a lot of proof of it. But what I'm saying is, is. It's awful. It's frustrating. It frustrates me that I did that even in that moment. I was like, Jesus Christ, why do that? You're off the hook. Well, your 316 start.

Let's put you at 730 seconds. I'm going to get to one second. No, what happens is because of the way I think, I do not dream up a world where, when I say, get the nail gun, get the staple gun that are next to each other and we're building boxes where you could come in with a hand stapler. But it's sort of an ultimate pragmatism that a lot of brains don't have. Well, I'll tell you, I'll tell you one of my reoccurring conversations, and you tell me, and you guys tell me this is basically how people are wired. I do this. I did it last night. There's some reason for it, but I get into this, my nanny all the time. It goes this way. My nanny. I don't know what hell I call her. I'm trying to give her a label here. I call her, you know, at 8 o'clock at night, at 7 o'clock, because I want to take the kids for a walk, but no one's around and I have no idea what's going on.

and I call her and she picks up the phone and it always sounds like she's in a barrel filled with clowns because it's where the kids are like their gravity world or trampoline land or you know universal Lego trampoline world Chuckie trampoline Lego universal world ride place that's all they are somewhere fun right

and then I do the thing where I go Olga yes you have the kids yes when are you going to be home home. We are going to leave in about 10 minutes. So, Olga, yes, when are you going to be home? See, I didn't ask when you're going to be leaving or where you're at or anything. I just said, when are you going to be home? Now, I will accept about a half hour, but, you know, give or take with

traffic or something. But I found myself asking people super direct questions and they give me the math, the opposite math on it. Maybe in conversation, most people kind of co-create stuff, and they expect, and you don't do that. You do it all pragmatically in your own head. Well, I want to know. I want to know when they're going to be home, not the process that leads up into taking them home.

Which is your, it's a concrete pragmatism. I asked you what time you're going to be home. and she is co-creating with you this sort of scenario, which is, well, let's figure it out together. Because then she expects back for you. Well, I need you to be a blah, blah, okay, well, I can leave in five minutes then. You know what is it given a take that you don't want? You're not asking for. And most people do naturally.

It's something I will engage in forever if we're out having a smart cocktail on a Saturday. But in this particular case. I got you. And my other thing too is. I'm saying one's right, one's wrong. I'm just saying. No, I'm right. Everybody's, the other thing, too, is my cell phone is notoriously bad at my house.

So it could, it drops all the time. And then she's always in a place. She's in a barrel filled with clowns. So I need to shout out something. You need to shout it back. And then we can hang up and we'll get warm and fuzzy when you show up. Right. But, no, I agree.

And she's, you know, by all means, great person and is trying to do right by me. She's going, we're at gravity world. We're going to leave in five minutes. You know, I get all that. But what people don't like, which they should be a little more open to, is like, and you can go through that process. Like, I'll go, when are you going to be home? Well, we're going to leave in five. It's going to take us 20 minutes.

Figure what times it now, eight o'clock, figure eight 30. I'm not going to cut you off with that. Right, right, right. But it's still, we get to the end, and I don't, I still haven't got a time. And that's the way I roll. I think it's kind of the way you're the way people in a hurry. Right. I turn it on and off.

But you're in that mode all the time. No? No? No? I just got done saying, if we're out having a smart cocktail, I got all the time in the world to ruminate about things. That's what I just said. But in this case, with the phone being bad and me always rushing from one getting there, no. Then I go off and mean Kevin Hinch, go out and have a steak and we talk about nothing for two hours.

All right. Cool. And I was wondering, I don't get to go for like three weeks for the alcoholics. assessment for the placement and everything. Okay. And I'm trying to find some A8 meetings to go to an interim. Yeah. When I look them up on the Internet and stuff, it always says open and closed.

And most of them say that they're closed meetings. Do you know what that means? I don't know. Or you just show up. I can't imagine they would turn you away. I mean, what I think of closed meetings, I think about private meetings, which they have sort of in this town. You know, any two recovering people can make a meeting.

meeting. And in this town, people who are celebrities and things that will sort of gather because they don't want to expose their anonymity, those are sort of invitation. Yeah, they don't have that where I live. Yeah, I know, but I'm saying those are sort of even, I don't even, those aren't even called Close Mead. They're sort of called Invitation meetings. I imagine Closed Moore has something to do with how the meetings run. I would still show up. I just, listen, you raise your hand, say I want help. People are supposed to help you. That's the nature of the program. So let's, let's see what what you get. Please report back to me on that. I don't know. Well, in today's day and age of all the social networking stuff going on out there, it's got to be nearly impossible not to find

Oh, they're everywhere. A meeting near you. That's what I, I always hear that they're everywhere, but try to find one. I mean, they have buildings here that are dedicated. You know, they're out in the middle of nowhere, whatever, and there's some where they have meetings all the time, but they can never figure out how to get to one. I went through treatment one other time. Listen, they'll come pick you up. up. Somebody from the meeting will come and pick you up. Yeah, that's why I understand it, but that's kind of why I decided to go back for treatment again is maybe to figure out how to get to these meetings.

You know? Sort of. Is there a number or a website or anything for any of the meetings near you? Yeah, but they all, you know, they're not staffed or anything. They just have an answering machine. Well, if you leave your number and tell them you need to arrive to a meeting, that's all. All right, Paul. Okay.

Hop on that internet. Don't be afraid to stop. You're getting there. Okay. I have one other question. I've been going through withdrawals for the last couple days. Yeah. Where I'm shaking really bad and stuff.

Yeah, yeah. I mean, they say that you're not supposed to just quit drinking on your own. Yeah. Instead of going to detox. Yeah. Is that the thing to do? Yeah. I mean, you're three days in.

You're three days in now. Are you getting better? Actually, I have to have a drink, a couple drinks during the day just to calm them down. Yeah, that's okay. Yeah, that's okay. Yeah, I mean, the real desperate problem with alcohol withdrawal is if you get a second medical problem on top of it, like an infection or pneumonia or even a heart attack, then you can drop into DTs, and DTs are potentially fatal. True. Just the shaking, no big deal, but seizures are real risk, but even though seizures aren't harmful, provided you don't fall and hurt yourself.

What would you recommend? and I know the answer would be none of the above, but if somebody, they had to quit drinking, oh, they stopped drinking. They were locked in a supermarket with no liquor section. Okay. Would you say to them, well, eat a lot of bananas because there's potassium in it or drink a lot of pediolite or walk, you know, walk the aisles,

drink a lot of fluid, walk around, go find some vitamins, go find an iron supplement. Eat beef liver. Buy B-12, vitamins. Thyman. Yeah. Yes. So what I mean?

Are you get thyman, magnesium, B12, b-12, multivite, pediolite. What do you get thiamine in? Thiamine is in some multibytes, but you can get as a separate vitamin, too. And you want to take like 500 milligrams of that, too. Thyman deficient is a big problem in alcohol. And then, yeah, the potassium, by all means, too, the banana, the fruit, if you can get that in. Lots of, lots of nutrient-rich food. And the walking, I guess, because you get ad,

vegetated, but you can fall. That's the problem with walking. Uh-huh. But, so, I mean, there are things, I mean, look, you know, don't just stop and then go get a big mac and fries. No. And a Diet Coke. That's, that's, that might aggravate things. Or it's not going to be. Not going to help, and you might vomit.

So. So, you want thiamen. Thiamen. Isn't that that instrument that they play in the science fiction movies? What's it sound like? Chris is shouting Therriman. Yeah, I know. Therriman.

You know what the therriments? No, I don't know what they do. Oh, like a saw. It's a weird. It's a weird. What's it look like? Oh, geez. It's like a plank with like a pull coming at the top.

It just goes off the axis of it. Wow. Interesting. Very interesting. Yeah. Yeah. It's like, I don't know. We'll try to figure out what it sounds like.

Hey, before we go next call, I have a topic I want to get into. Would you want to get a couple calls before I get into it? I get into it. All right. I've been trying to talk about this for a few. days. And I keep, we get another stuff, but the week's almost out here. I want to make sure to get this. Like, on Monday, I did an interview with Don Lemon, where his people had me, came on a comment,

is Donald Trump insane? Bloomberg said he was insane. He's not a sane man. He must be insane. And I went, no, he's not insane. Insane, you know, insane in the eyes of the law means so out of it, you don't know right from wrong, which is somebody is like encephalopathic. They couldn't tell you the date or anything. and saying and clinically is psychotic, meaning you're hearing voices, you're hallucinating, that kind of thing. And then they went, well, it's a narcissist, narcissist, narcissist. Well, yeah, yeah, everyone in politics is narcissistic. That's right.

The question is, is he a malignant narcissist? And that, you've been impressed upon me very clearly that the kids and their relationship with the kids make that essentially impossible. You can't be a malignant narcissist to have those kinds of kids and that kind of a relationship with your kids, as you've described it to me. Well, the thing about the malignant narcissist is it's you. And I think the critics would say, well, that's Don June, Donald Jr. He looks at that as an extension of himself.

No, no, no. When you're, because I think my parents may have been this way. When you're really this way, you look out for yourself and yourself only. I mean, Don Don Draper. Don Draper is sort of a malignant narcissist. I don't watch the show. But when you're really in, well, first off, oftentimes you don't have kids. And then secondly, when you do.

Well, they don't have empathy. Millian Narcists don't have empathy. And now, well, then they go, well, he makes he drives the things he says. He can't stop. Well, people that have pressured speech and can't really edit their mouth, that's hyperactual. that's hypomania. That's more on the bipolar spectrum. And I've noticed a lot of business people do have hypomania.

They do. And they get a lot done. They get a lot done because of that. And listen, so what? They're hypomantic. So big deal. I mean, they can, as Trump always says, I got a lot of energy, got energy. People think Abraham Lincoln was bipolar.

Well, also, a lot of it is, and we, I don't seem to admit this, but we've never really seen a human with an upbeat metronome in this position. So we've seen guys in the past that were human who are on quailudes like Jimmy Carter. You know what I mean? Like you get, you know, Jimmy Carter, I got the idea that Jimmy Carter was Jimmy Carter, is Jimmy Carter, and will always be Jimmy Carter. And I didn't get the feeling that when he took the podium, that now we're just going to get a bunch of pablum that was not Jimmy Carter.

Right. That was Jimmy Carter. Yeah. But in the past, the guys we got who were the real McCoy because, you know, I don't think Bill Clinton is the real McCoy. I don't think Hillary Clinton's a real McCoy. We're getting a version of them that is what you would do if you were a politician trying to get elected or reelected. Now, what we got out of Jimmy Carter was Jimmy Carter, but it's low. downgrade, you know, sort of this

low energy measured and slow and whatever and folksy and what have you, but that's, that's that. It's like, it's a waltz. It's a real waltz, but it's waltz. Now what we're getting is punk music from, from Trump. Right. But I still think it's real punk.

It's just how, it's like how people, many people, and oftentimes business people, speak. Yeah. You know, where they, you know, they sit across the table, for some boardroom and some guys pitching them something and he's explaining that they're going to need X amount, you know, like we gave you the bid for the steel to do the superstructure of the next hotel and it turns out we need another $5 million. And the person in the business room oftentimes doesn't go, okay, I'll take that into consideration.

They do a thing where they go, you told me, first off, you said you were going to be done by mid-April. We're in the middle of June last time I checked. So you're already, oh, and by the way, this is not the first time you ask for money. You're already over budget. You said it was going to be, you know, $2.26 million. You're already at $231, and now you need another $5 million. You know, that's kind of how business people work. So for the first time, we're sort of getting somebody.

and also look, here's the problem with, here's your second choice. Your second choice is you see Hillary Clinton interviewed, and the interviewer says, what about Benghazi and what about those parents who said, you told them it was because of the cartoon, and you deny that? Why would they make that up? Well, Chris, the Clinton Foundation does a lot of work for a lot of needy kids around the world.

Right. Yeah, but we're talking about Ben Gai. We have given over a billion dollars to charities that focus on kids, kids who have AIDS, kids who have a cleft palate, kids who have. But what about the parents from Benghazi? I was clear to them that I've never said it. But as a mother, I grieve. I know what it's like to have a child. And I pray for anybody who's lost a son or a daughter defending this great country.

And when I'm in charge, we're not going to send our sons and daughters into peril and in front of harm's way. Now, back to the foundation. Okay, that's what you're going to get. You're going to get someone who literally, the only way, if you want to interview a politician these days, for the most part, the only way you can do it is the way I did it with Gavin Newsom. Just hammer the shit out of him and never leave. You just never, you never leave. Because I watch politicians get interviewed. They don't, first off, not only they don't begin to answer the question, they'll answer it with another question.

Yeah. They'll just ask them. And then what about the leaked emails? Well, what about Donald Trump and some of the things he said about our African American community? Do you endorse that? It's like, okay, that's what we're dealing with. You sat across some guy. I had dinner with him years ago.

What do you, any of these things sound true to you or are you? What's your assessment? Oh, Trump? Yeah. Um, he's a guy who's a little drunk on his own power, success and what have you. He's like or not unlike many people in business, which is they have to move all the time. There's just a shark swimming through people like, you know, following them around, looking at swatches of fabric to do the next casino pointing at one.

and then throwing the board at a guy until they get going. You know, like, when I worked with him or worked on his show, you know, we all sit in the boardroom. He wasn't there waiting for us. He'd come flying in, sit down. You know, somebody would start waxing on about something,

you know, like, oh, Mr. Trump, I feel like our hoagies were superior. I heard it the first time. Arsenio, what happened with you? You know what I mean? So the person he's talking to goes, well this guy's being rude and curred and he's not letting me finish my sentence well sorry he's he's got 19 jobs like he's he heard what you had to say about the the hoagie being uh perfect

the first 11 people on your side but are explaining the quality of your hoagie work so he's moved on yeah but he's not saying excuse me sweetie um as far as the hoagie talk goes i really feel like i you know i really feel like i understand it but if you want to talk a little more about it after after the boardroom I would be open to that. He just goes, hip, chip, quiet, next. Arseno, what do you got? Tell me what you're thinking. And so he's got a lot of that.

It's got a lot of ego. He's got a lot of, you know, he's got a lot of, I know what I can do and I know how to do it. And I think he thinks that he can simply show up and do it. Yeah. And what he doesn't realize is we have created. a horrific society, which is like, I think I can walk onto a job site and go, all right, here we go.

You guys, rough framers, start your framing. Don't stick frame it. Just frame it and then tilt it up. You guys, masonry, start forming. I think I can do that. We're now dealing with, oh, yeah, who made you the boss? And why should I have to do this? And why can I just?

And why do you think you know more about that? That's what he's up against. He's living, I think, in an older America where the guy's just going to show up and start pointing around and get a bunch of stuff done. He's not living in the America where 19-year-olds think they're smarter than 65 or 70-year-olds who have accomplished much in their life versus zero. And he's not living in the world of what can you do for me, not interested in what you're talking about in trade with China. I want you come to my house and hang some wallpaper. Like that's where we're at. Hillary has realized that.

You know, she also realizes that, look, if I can get black folk, Hispanic folk, gay folk, and whatever, and just lie to him and tell him I'm going to do a bunch of stuff for him, then I'll get all their votes and then we'll win. That's right. But I didn't, I did not get any thing off of him other than, not as good as sense of humor. All guys like that think they have a good sense of humor and they don't. That's kind of funny in itself.

They're nearly not. They're not nearly as funny as they. Now, they get a lot of laughs because they're up against sour puss and grumpy ass over there. I mean, you have to beat. You have to be funnier than Bernie Sanders. There's dead jellyfish that are funnier than Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton. So they've washed up. literally horseshoe crabs that have washed up on the beach that are funnier than Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton.

So all you have to do is be funnier than them and you get to be the funniest person in the room. But he thinks he's wittier than he is. Yeah. He's not that, you know, he repeats himself a lot like I do. All right. But no, there's no, he's not curious. There's nothing wrong with his brain. He's just him.

I think even if he is hypomatic I'm good get more done I'm all I'm all for that Hillary's the one where she should be explored Now Bernie's the one that Well Bernie could be explored too But at least Bernie's wearing it out there On his dandruff covered sleeve

Hillary doesn't have a personality problem She doesn't No I don't not a personal no I don't think she has a personality problem I think what she has is Whatever it is that's coming out of her mouth I don't know what it is And she's doing interviews where she's like, James Comey found nothing wrong with my statements.

He found everything to be accurate. And the person's like going, what do you mean? He went out and said you lied on 10 occasions. I read the report. I didn't see that. Like, okay. But what a great, but here's what we're dealing with. What a, you'd be a fool not to do that.

And I'll tell you why. What if the world worked this way? You get to drive 110 miles an hour on your way to Vegas. You're passing through wherever the bun boy is, Baker. Needles. Needles, Baker. And a cop clocks you at 107 miles an hour. And an airplane spots you, and the cop pulls you over.

And he says, you're going 107 miles an hour, buddy. You're in a lot of trouble. And you go, I was staring at my speedometer. I was doing 55. I saw you going 107. I was going 55. And by the way, I do a lot of good work on the road. I do lots of work with cops.

I do lots of work with potholes. And then you go, thank you. And you put it in gear and you just continue on. Now, who wouldn't do that? Right. Wouldn't you do that? Well, especially if the cops didn't follow. That's what I'm saying.

You put it back into gear and you go motoring off down the highway. And the cops go, well, you know, the next day he writes up in his report. No, she was going 107 but said she was going 55, but no one cares. And she's just motoring down the highway. Well, why wouldn't you do that? Right. I mean, I mean, the thing that's insane about Hillary as I was watching her being interviewed is Chris, whoever the interviewer was like, there are two sets of parents you said that you're going to get the guys who drew those evil cartoons about Benghazi when your kids' corpses got off the, you know, when they got off the plane. when they were doing the thing.

And she's like, yeah, that's how that I never said that. And it's like, well, there's two of them. Well, I understand when they're grieving. They hear things that they don't need to hear. And then you smash cut to her being on a podium going, we're going to get those guys who drew that cartoon. Yeah. And it's like, well, if that's the next thing you say when you're standing on a podium,

but as you're walking to the podium, you claim you never said what you said on the podium, like if somebody said, you know, if a coach, if the coach for Ohio State said to a couple boosters, we're going to whip Michigan's ass this year. You hear me? Yeah. Who's your friend over there? Another family, another booster.

We're going to whip Michigan this year. We're going to beat them. We're going to beat the pants off of them. And then they got up on the podium at the pep rally and go, we're going to beat Michigan this year. And then later on, the parents came ahead and said, yeah, you told us that in president. No, I never said that. It's like, well, of course what you just said, why wouldn't you say it? You just said on the podium.

I mean, as I understand, that's how it went down. I don't know why. How could that even be in question? All right. Brent through some culture. All right. What are we talking about? Shane?

Yes, sir. Get it on. Woodland Hills, man. What's going on? You run your own business. Yes, sir. First of all, guys, I've been listening to you for 15 years. You got the top of you so much.

And I just want to say, I really appreciate it. So thank you very much. I'm running a cleaning business for restaurants. I've been working in restaurants for about six years. And a couple years ago, I started a cleaning service. No cash, no credit, and no employees. And it's just me seven days a week, four in the morning, cleaning a 7,000 square foot space. My question is, you guys both literally millionaires.

I would imagine your approach pretty frequently for business opportunities and investment opportunities. I'm wondering, Adam, do you ever see it as a genuine opportunity? And if so, if maybe you have some tips that can help me out, because my plan right now is to solicit rich people that don't know me. What about crowdsourcing anything like that? It's going to be tough when you clean flus in the San Fernando. It's pretty sexy stuff. I remember my carpet cleaning boss telling me,

you've got to get into flu cleaning. That's going to be your future. going up and cleaning the grease out of the thing above the chimney sweep. Yeah, but a greasy chimney sleeve. Oh, my God. And then later on, he's like, the money's in aquariums. That's where you got to clean. I remember just saying, I remember like being 19 going,

I'm going to be cleaning aquariums when I'm 50? Like, oh, Christ. Look, here's the problem with, you know, friends. I don't do any of this stuff. I gave a friend $50,000 to open a restaurant that was 17 years ago, and I haven't seen a fucking penny. so yet or ever so that's the way that kind of goes it just goes it always just goes it it never works now you put together a business plan for business people and you give them a return on their investment

and they don't care whether you're running a brothel or clean in a denny's they're in if there's a plan then you're going for sort of funds and things right that kind of investment yeah i'm just saying you know it's not about talking people into anything it's about look right now you put your money in your bank, you get 1%. Can you offer me 5%? If you can give me 5% and you can guarantee the 5 or you can show me why I should think, be confident about the 5, then I'm in. Yeah. Okay. So just give him return there. Ethan, Salt Lake City. Hey, Adam and Drew, real quick, big fan, same with the last guy. You guys help me out a lot. I really appreciate it. It's awesome and listening to you guys for the years. Thank you. For Dr. Drew, I have this surgery about a year and a half ago. It was

the urethral stricture. Good times. Like scar tissue. It's closing up. I actually don't know how it happened. Jimmy had that, remember? Jimmy Kimmel had that. Kicked in the nuts.

No, Jimmy Kimmel had that. It's a common thing. Yeah. Yeah, my urologist said that too, I remember. It's like, yeah, we did like three of these this week. I was like, holy shit. Yeah. Anyway, surgery went fine, and that's all.

You were talking to yourself, Ethan? And not a classically trained. Okay. But the, so the surgery went well, and that all, all those symptoms cleared up that I had with that, but I have this problem now that when I have a bowel movement, like this, it looks like semen comes out of my penis. Like as I'm like taking a shit. Yeah, it might be semen. You're making me hot, by the way.

Hey, Ethan, why don't you tell your boyfriend to pull out next time? Yeah. Yeah. So it is probably seeming because the stool will push up against the seminal vesicles and kind of push out a little bit there. Interesting. No big deal. No big deal. Yeah, nature's lives.

Loose gasket. Adam's never known a loose gasket. No. Anywhere in his body. Tight, man. Besides, I run synthetic. Hey, this is Adam Carolla from the Adam Carolla show. Well, if you care about predictions, then you care about props.

Bet Online. The game starts here. All right. Real fast like. Mike? Let's see. Try it again. Let's see. Kaelin got him up there. Mike 23 from L.A. Caller. Dating girl for five years. Now she feels more like a friend than a girlfriend.

I want to know she to break. I think what he's saying he's not in love with her anymore. But he started dating. There you are. So Mike, let me just say. Sorry about that. I'll go ahead and answer your question, which is that, you know, you started with you're 18, you're 23 now. There's a lot of change people go through during that. relationships that started 18 aren't supposed to last a lifetime for that very reason that you change so much as you go into adulthood.

And when you're saying she feels more like a friend than a girlfriend just means you're not in love with her anymore. And that's not a good foundation for trying to move forward. So you make your own mind up, but it's not the great setup for long-term health. The advice I was hoping to get is just it's not like anything's wrong, so it's hard to break up. Yeah. No, I get that part. It's, it's, it's, you simply owe it to yourself and she owes it to herself to experience being single. You know, people do this thing.

It's like, uh, I, I need to see other people. I want to start experiencing other people. You should experience being single, too. Yeah. If you've been together from 18 to 23, yeah. Experience just the, I don't know what discovery of just being on your own for a year. Yeah. Dating or.

even not dating, just literally just working on other things, you know, or whatever, whatever that is, reconnecting with friends or whatever it is, focusing on your career. Well, just sort of being able to survive in the world by yourself. Right. So sadly, and I, and I, it's so much easier when somebody cheats or somebody's a drunk or an alcoholic or drug abuse or something, but this just is that. And it's hard. And by the way, the other thing, when you've been with somebody since you're 16 to 18, you know, feel wherever, you don't know how to end a relationship. You've never had Exactly. Exactly.

If your next relationship, you start feeling like this, you won't go two weeks without going ahead. Yeah, this isn't, I'm not into it. Let's get out. Yeah, you don't know how to compose that text. All right. Ah. Oh, live shows every. Take a knee.

George Santino. Was George, let's see. Oh, he was, I got to tell you, man. When I do that Takeany, Drew. Yeah. And I talk to these guys who start their own businesses and run their own business and do their own business. It doesn't matter where they're from or what walk of life or what. what their business is, they all sound like me.

They don't sound like Hillary Clinton at all. Like, you show me a dude that started off and worked his way up and built his own thing and did this, whatever. You show me that guy, they have nothing. They sound nothing like what's coming out of Hillary's mouth ever. And I've talked to 2,000 of those guys. And their political feelings may vary. But what's coming out of their mouth, there's nothing to do with, you know, the government built that road. You couldn't have gone to work if the government hadn't built that road.

Like, none of it ever. All right. Anyway, oh, yeah, Microsoft partner. Oh, he was? Oh, the guy was delivering pizza and running a sports bar and stuff and got into Microsoft. And it's 30s. And they kept sending them away. And they sent him like, started off in the mail room, like the testing room or something, like mopping the place.
