We look at a video.
Drew, well, he shares that he recently learned about a YouTube video that I star in,
and then we'll take some phone calls.
So enjoy.
Recorded live at Corolla 1 Studios with Adam Carolla,
and board certified physician.
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 on mandate.
Get it on.
Thanks for tuning in.
Thanks for telling a friend.
We appreciate all this good stuff.
Something I got to on...
What do you hold in there?
I'll say something I'm a little bit disturbed by.
Uh-oh.
I shared it on my show, but I'll share it with you.
True. As you know, I'm friendly with Dennis Prager.
Dennis Prager, big Jewish, worldly. It's just one of these guys who...
Intellectual. He's intellectual. He's conservative, but very fair-minded, very respectful,
with a lot of wisdom that he likes to share. And it's also one of these guys who's a deeply religious man, deeply.
I've told him 31 times.
I'm an atheist, and I'm one of his favorite people.
Yeah.
It's all about character with him.
He's been to a guy who's visited a hundred countries, speaks Russian fluently, probably speaks seven languages.
Just one of these guys that, you know, when everyone else in high school was reading comic books, he was reading Russian literature and learning the language.
He's just one of these guys.
And he's a...
he's a he's a gentle soul he's a sort of gentle giant he's a big guy um he likes the laugh and i feel
like you're leading up to something i am scary me a little rape is always a scary allegation
now he's he's just the kind of guy he'd love to go out to dinner with i've been out to dinner with him
he's just big gregarious but but also very very bright and he has a online
college, basically, for lack of a better term, and it's called Prager You.
And he invites people on to give a little four-minute vignettes.
I've done it a couple times.
I don't do the one about how to stop ISIS or about the World War II.
I do the ones that are a little more philosophical that don't involve a bunch of facts and figures about luck and about who not to vote for and things of that nature.
Mine are funny.
And I've gotten the one I did one called Who Not to Vote for that got, I don't know, several million downloads, amongst the more popular of the ones he does.
But it's one of these things where it's like, it's the kind of thing where if you think to yourself, geez.
7.6 and counting.
Thanks.
7.6 million.
So if you've thought to yourself like, geez, morally, was it okay to drop the nuclear bomb on Japan?
and you don't know, well, you can go look and you can hear guys a historian and a scholar and
sometimes a priest or something, and they'll tell you about it in five minutes, and you'll learn
the ins and outs. You can decide for yourself, but they'll usually tell you some of the things
you may not have known. Sort of like Khan Academy.
Yeah, like Khan Academy.
A little bit. Yeah, and he'll do everything.
Yeah. And recently, now this guy, I will tell you about.
Prager U, there's no swearing allowed.
It's a bunch of guys, oftentimes theologians, oftentimes professors, people that astronauts
and people like that wearing suits staying in their 60s, sort of religious people, telling
your their thoughts on whatever it may be.
He's gotten put on the sort of no-fly zone with YouTube.
the sort of parental you need to click through.
This is, Gary will tell me what it's restricted.
You basically, if you go to view the video, it makes you log into a YouTube account to verify your age
because they're saying that it might be offensive or dangerous to a child that's just clicking around at the local library.
And there's nothing more than you'd like your 11 or 12 or 13-year-old doing than sitting on Prager, you.
Yeah.
What jumps to mind for me is one of the last ones of these that stood out was the Ray Rice.
video. You can watch that video, but you had to be signed in because it was...
But again, asking...
Woman being punched in the face.
To continue the analogy, signing into...
Prager U. is like having to sign into Khan Academy.
It's like, what? You're going to...
Yes, correct.
You're going to sign a Khan Academy.
The Khan Academy has everything, right?
It has a three-minute videos on everything, including, you know, what's the Schrodinger equation?
How do you solve stoichiometry equation?
And just basic stuff, it's like signing onto that.
Right.
Oh, you mean, you don't have to sign onto that.
No, it would be bizarre to sign out.
There's a French Revolution in three minutes and stuff like that.
But why would you sign into that?
Because he's tackling in 2016 are the police racist.
Now, you've got to go to your safe space if you find out maybe statistically they're not racist, for instance.
My, who not to vote for is actually in on the list.
What did you say in it?
I can't imagine.
Now, I would assume, in my particular case, it was me talking.
Just you.
Yeah, you need to be restricted.
Well, I don't know.
We can listen to me doing who not to vote for.
We can just play it.
We'll tell you who it is.
What, three minutes?
Three or four minutes or something like that.
Well, I'm not here to tell you who to vote for, but I am here to tell you who not to vote for.
Don't vote for anyone who says, I'll fight for you.
because that person is full of crap and has no intention of not only fighting for you,
he doesn't know who you are.
He or she's just moving on to the next town where they can point at the next sap and say,
I'll fight for you.
So tired of these politicians in their town hall meetings when somebody stands up and says,
I'm pregnant with quadruplets, I've been put on academic probation at the junior college,
and my milkman hates my gut.
What are you going to do for me?
And my answer is nothing.
But here's the good news.
We live in the United States.
You can do something for you.
Feel free to get a job and fight to keep it.
Let me give you a really good example of people doing too much for others and us coming apart at the seams as a society.
You guys remember when you were kids and you'd fake an illness and you'd stay home from school.
and you'd sit there on your sofa and you'd watch daytime TV.
Hey, I'm Wally Thorpe, school at Trucking.
You can get to Trucking, too.
Be a long haul trucker.
Get your license.
Hit the open road.
Make a good living.
Learn typewriter repair.
Learned toaster repair.
Remember all of those commercials?
Every single commercial was geared to somebody who was out of work, but who wanted to work.
Why?
Well, it's Tuesday.
It's noon.
Who's going to be home watching this TV show?
people who are out of work.
What do people who are out of work want to do?
They want to get to work.
Thus, they learn to drive an 18-wheeler.
Now, look at every commercial that's on during daytime TV.
Wrongfully let go by an employer, slip and fall in a supermarket, you can sue.
Hi, I'm attorney Lance Bassman, and I'll fight for you.
See, the same people that's...
say they're going to fight for you are the same people trying to get you free crap when you won't
get off your ever enlarging butt that's now melding and becoming one with your sofa.
Fixing your screwed up life is not the government's job. And by the way, when does the government
do a good job at fixing anything? I mean, I live in Los Angeles. We pay the most in taxes and we get the
least in education. I want the government to do stuff that I can't do. Stop a war.
end a plague, that kind of stuff.
Stuff involving me, stuff involving my family, stuff involving my community, I can handle that.
Also, don't vote for the politician who says, I know it's not a level playing field.
I'm going to level it for you.
That's impossible.
It is mathematically impossible to have a level playing field.
What are we going to do about fat people being discriminated against?
Some people are born with one limb shorter than the other.
Other people are born with a brillo head.
There's nothing we can do about it.
The government's job is to clear the playing field, not level the playing field,
since it's impossible for them to level the playing field,
just cleared of all the landmines and all the barbed wire and let us get to work.
And don't worry, this is a great country.
The harder you work, the more you score,
And eventually your team goes to the Super Bowl.
So, let's review.
I'm not going to tell you who to vote for.
I'll tell you who not to vote for.
Don't vote for the guy who says he's going to get rid of all your problems,
take care of you, and tuck your kids in at night.
You see, humans need challenges to overcome,
just like a muscle needs resistance to grow.
In a zero-gravity environment, an astronaut's muscles atrophy.
Because there is no resistance.
The government giving you a bunch of handouts and living your life for you
is basically the equivalent of doing push-ups in outer space.
Look, Ma, I can clap five times just like Rocky in between sets.
Big government is like the void of space.
It's massive, constantly expanding,
and if we immerse ourselves in it, we'll simply wither away.
I'm Adam Carolla for Prager University.
I think the problem is, as I said, this was a great country.
Use the word crap.
That must be it.
It's not a language.
It's not a language issue.
So bizarre.
I talked about the government.
And then the government got involved.
It's not the government.
It's Google, but it's Google.
Why don't you call somebody to Google?
See what's going on?
Let's get them on the horns.
They just tell you it doesn't fall under their standards of whatever.
Well, let's find out.
Ah?
Okay.
Well, that's part of what we're doing, Gary.
I think there is a sort of cult action here.
Do you want our listeners and things to get involved?
Well, it'd be nice to not be censored.
Well, but somebody must know somebody at Google, right?
So somebody can tweet us or email Gary or something.
Yeah.
Yeah.
All right.
I'd like to know because I'm a little, that's very troubling.
Do you don't think more of this is coming?
That's, that's, that's, um.
I, I'm telling.
you that if we keep going down the road we're going down as fast as we're going down it,
somebody's going to tell Dennis Prager he can't do a radio show.
If you go to Prager You, there's a petition to get this stopped, and you can go to our website,
Adam and Dr. Drew Show, and on this episode's page, we'll put a link.
To get the censorship stopped.
Correct.
Who else has been censor?
Maybe that can help us understand why they've selected you.
they've done why are the police racist why don't feminists fight for Muslim women
you know the questions that should be asked that aren't asked but that is there anything
about the individuals that are doing those that we should know YouTube refused to tell us why
they were restricting any of our videos and just that their algorithm and our community
guidelines identified these videos as inappropriate for younger viewers our only remaining
options was to go public in order to put pressure on YouTube all right
So there you go.
They're algorithms.
Is there anything in my thing that fit any algorithm?
No.
No, they don't like my message.
That's what's going on.
Was it the title of this thing again? Who should you vote for?
Yeah, who not to vote for?
I wonder if they have something weird about, I don't know.
Who knows?
Drew, there's something more nefarious afoot here.
I'm afraid so.
Dennis Prager is a very conservative guy.
He's putting across a conservative message, not an offensive message, but
What is somehow insanely a conservative message, even though I don't know what I'm saying is conservative, but it's a conservative message.
And they ain't down with that.
The people who –
Do you know who really articulated exactly your message about the playing field in those, you know, very similar language?
Abraham Lincoln.
Well, there you go.
So we got to censor him, too.
Well, maybe he would be if he was around today and asked, come on, Prager, you.
All right.
He said, he said, I'm very familiar with some of his speeches.
And one of them he said, human people are not equal in all respects.
Some people are taller.
Some people are shorter.
Some people are stronger, just like you said.
But the job of a just society is to create a level playing field where all can compete,
given their God-given abilities, without any constraint, without a resistant.
Right.
Still doesn't mean the big guy's not going to blow out the little guy.
It just means they can compete.
And that there aren't any external constraints on that or anything that would impede their ability to compete, other than just, you know, the...
And who knows?
If the little guy was a little scrappier and had a little more grit, he might beat out that bigger guy.
Yeah.
All right.
All right.
Mike, 52, Seattle.
What's going on?
Hey, right.
How you doing on?
Good man.
All right.
Hey, I got a question.
My father is 7, 4 years old, and over the last few years has become a hoarder.
He's always been a bit of a collector.
Now he's sort of a hoarder to the point where he got on Craigslist last week
and got 200 cans of canned salmon labeled not fit for human consumption because they're five years old.
It's a who the SELS.
And he announced what we were at that he was feeding it to his dogs,
but he was having a little nibble himself.
once in a while.
Adam likes to cut
of his jib.
What are you talking about?
Is he getting,
does he seem to be having trouble,
well, is he getting depressed?
I don't think so,
but when I,
he's collected a very strange thing.
He has three riding lawnmowers
and he picked up at various auctions.
He's got a large barn.
He's got a big place.
But whenever I approach him,
the logic of it,
I get either a joke or quite a bit of pushback, a lot of anger.
Right.
And the salmon thing has me worried because he could kill him.
All right.
Does he have, did he have?
Oh, the salmon thinks I've got to kill.
Yeah, I know.
Is the, is the, did he have obsessive-compulsive features before the hoarding?
Yeah, he's fairly obsessive about things.
Okay.
And is there any chance he's, his cognition is declining as he's age.
Is he having any difficulty?
Do you notice any?
He's slowing down a little mentally, I've noticed.
All right.
And is he on any medication?
Yeah, yeah.
Is he on any medication?
No medication.
No medication.
All right.
So what can happen sometimes is older folks is they get a little minimal cognitive change or minimal cognitive impairment.
And you add that to an already obsessive-compulsive hoarding type person.
And then it starts to really get out of control.
Then you add a mood disturbance or other things that can get very, very, very bad.
Do you know what Matt Paxton is?
He's a guy that does one of the reality shows on hoarder.
I think he does hoarders.
And he has a, I think his website is Clutter Cleaner.
His email is Matt at Cluttercleaner.com.
And he really does a very good job of advising people and how to handle stuff like this.
Yeah.
Listen, I'm with you, Mike.
I mean, well, on a couple things.
Because of where I come from, clutter really,
makes me depressed.
Like I become sort of visibly depressed in a room that has just a bunch of junk
laying around.
I don't like it.
I also realize that most people have a very, very high capacity for it.
I know it here.
I know it at home.
I know it just doesn't affect people the way it affects me.
There'll be people.
My wife can have a picture leaning against the wall or mirror leaning against
the wall where she would like it to go, four feet below, where she'd like it to go for years.
And it just doesn't, oh, wow, nothing. That's a, that's a three. But I mean, it just is not
capable of hanging it up. Would want it, once it hung up, which is the weird part for me, but not.
And also, it's a weird thing, too, she could say to me, hey, could you hang that picture up?
And I'd do it that afternoon. But doesn't have that gear.
You're shaking your head, Drew, but most people don't have that capacity.
Most.
It's like the ability to initiate is out, right?
It feels like an initiation problem.
Yes, it's like that's there.
I'm here.
He's there, and that's it.
There's other priorities so I can't initiate.
I can't bring in these other things.
I'm busy spinning in other areas, right?
I don't.
It is a, there is a.
there is a overcoming process that needs to be put activated that most people won't activate.
But once you do activate it, you become very aware of it.
And then it's like, you know, all I do here at home, wherever, it's like, you know, I got a bunch of kids that are going to play laser tag all day and coming home with a bunch of Chinese junk.
You know, it's a lava lamp, but it's not a real lava lamp, but it doesn't really work.
and it'll just sit in the living,
it'll sit on the floor for like, you know,
Jimmy bought Natalia a tennis racket.
The tennis racket just sat on the floor in the living room
for a month and a half,
and then I went, why is this tennis racket here?
I don't know.
It's just where it is.
You know, it's like it's just,
there's an element of this is where it is because that's where it is.
I just do a thing.
You know what I mean?
I just walk around and pick up stuff and put it in the garage all that.
My clutter thing is I'll leave things out that I need to get to.
Well, that ain't clutter.
That's my guilt.
Well, he's been to my office, it's clutter.
Okay.
It accumulates.
Well, I'm not, I'm not Tony Randall.
My feeling is, as I've yelled.
Timely reference.
At the other guys at the other shop a million times.
Played Felix Unger in televisions, the first version of television's on.
Yes.
What are we doing with this?
Are we keeping it?
Are we throwing it out?
Or are we selling it?
And it's like, I was going to throw it out.
Then do it right now.
Do it right.
Well, I'll say it.
The right now thing.
is hard for people. I'm going to sit on my desk and then after lunch. No, no. Go throw it out.
You know what my biggest thing was where I really like spazzed out on the other guys at the other
shop? I'll tell you. Hey, Mike, at least your dad's got some acreage, number one. And number two,
yeah, he's set in his ways. He's doing a little whatever. But on the other hand, I don't know.
I feel like you're pushing this a little bit too. Maybe he's doing his thing.
And watch out for cognitive decline. I mean, he's in an age when that can start to
accelerate and we want to be on top of that to make sure he sees his doctor.
And there may be things can trigger that too.
It might be he might have a medical problem underlying this.
Thank you, Mike.
I'll tell you about spazzing out.
First I'll tell you about the life lock.
Have you taken steps to guard your computer, huh?
Have you done it?
What about your phone?
Tackers can breach your smartphone, hack right into your personal info.
That's right.
It's all there.
It's ID theft.
America's fastest growing crime.
that's why I have life lock, kids have life lock, wife has life lock,
Philly cheese steak has life lock.
If you have a problem, they're U.S.-based, and they'll fix it.
They don't outsource things, but you're not going to have a problem because you've got life lock, baby.
They're the industry standard.
They've been around, well, the first I've ever heard of.
I mean, I've been talking about these guys for years now.
Look, no one can prevent all identity theft or money or all transactions and all businesses,
but with LifeLock, you've got the best theft protection identity theft, that is, in the business.
The best available and starts as low as $9.99 a month.
That's $9.99 a month.
It's LifeLock.

Oh, we got Bean from Kevin and Bean.
on line five?
Line six?
Oh, line six.
Oh, we'll take a break first.
I'll take a quick break and then we'll be back with one of my favorite guys, Bean from Kevin
and Bean and K. Rock right after this.
At great clips, they want you to love your haircut.
That's why they've created clip notes.
Oh, it's diabolically simple, but geniuses over there.
They take notes, they figure out what you like and then they log it in and then every time,
everywhere, you get the haircut you want.
with clip notes, no matter which stylist cuts your hair,
you get the great haircut you want every time.
Great clips.
It's going to be great.
All right, we're back.
Adam, it's Drew, and Bean.
What's going on, Bean?
What's going on?
What the hell, man?
What's going on?
One of my favorites.
Long time, listener, first time caller.
I've never actually been able to say that on a show before, but it's true.
Wow.
How are you, buddy?
I'm doing fine.
I appreciate you guys so much.
I want you to know that.
You know, we've worked together on a,
off at K Rock for many, many, many, many years.
Oh, you see what he's doing here.
Bean, stop.
You're very generous for your time.
And I just, I wanted to say that up front.
I appreciate that when we ask, you guys, come on the Kevin and Bean show, and it means
watchers, because you're big stars and you could leave us behind in the dust and you don't.
You remember the little people?
I think that's impressive.
That's all.
Do you remember the last per caller that set this up for us and we worshipped her afterwards?
Her name was Sarah.
I still remember her.
We thought it was so clever.
that she knew us so well.
I love Bean.
I'd like to heap some praise on Bean,
not only for being very instrumental
and getting me my start in broadcasting,
but also for being a guy
who really does love the art of broadcasting,
which I feel like as a dying art.
We got a bunch of funny guys
or controversial guys who want to talk into a microphone,
but not broadcasters.
And now that, as part of that,
does, the only guy that I know that does his homework
as well as Stern.
And Stern has a team of writers there doing stuff for him, you know, collecting the data.
But Bean is always on top of every interview.
It's very sweet, you guys.
I appreciate that.
Now can I get something from you?
No, wait, one thing.
One more thing.
As it pertains to your readiness.
I was on your show recently on Kevin and Bion and K. Rock in the morning show, and you asked me one too many questions.
We were talking about transfusions, and he said, why do we even have blood types?
which is a question that only being can think of.
And I did some research on that, and it turns out nobody knows.
It probably has something to do with our – I immediately think about the denosavans and the – are –
I pronounced that right, the cave people back in the chromagnet, we went in the Neanderthals.
We had these weird sort of quasi-homosapian species or subspecies around before homo-sapien sapiens took over.
And I have a feeling that's where this kind of thing came from.
And that's a surprising answer because medical science has figured out why most of the things are in the body the way they are.
No, no, no, really not. They've got enough to keep you distracted, but the reality is we don't know most things.
I mean, why do we, why? There it is. Well done, Bean. Well, Dean.
Yes, so Bean, you were going to say.
Yes, sir. All right, here's what's going on. Adam, I desperately need your help.
You know, since the last time I talked to you, Adam, you know, I moved to Louisiana, right? I live in New Orleans now.
Oh, I wanted to ask about that, but continue.
Yes.
So I'm living in New Orleans, and I'm home alone right now.
I don't have people.
I don't have staff like I did back in Seattle, so I'm winging it,
and I'm learning to do a lot of things kind of on my own that I used to just pay people to do
because I'm not dialed in yet with the community.
And this is going to sound really dumb, but I am being completely flummoxed by a chirping
smoke detector that I have turned off, that I have changed the battery on,
that I have stomped on, that I've done everything I can,
to try to get it to work, and it still keeps chirping no matter what I do.
And I don't know if that means they're all connected, and one of them is bad somewhere in the
circuit, like a Christmas tree light strand where one's out.
They're all out.
Please tell me how it works and what I can do.
Because I had a thing in my house or something like that where they were all connected
and we couldn't figure it out.
I literally had a situation where I took one off, beat it with a hammer, put it in the
freezer, put it in a bucket of water, and it just would not stop.
Wow.
And it doesn't make sense with no battery in it.
Like what's keeping it true?
chirping.
It's not hardwired, or it is hardwired?
It's not hardwired.
I mean, yeah, it's hardwired into the wall, but you can remove the plate that has the
battery.
You can hear it behind me.
You can remove the plate that has the battery and take the battery out, but it still
keeps chirping, whether the batteries in or not, whether it's hooked up to the wires
on the wall or not, it still keeps chirping.
I'm out of options, and it's just, it's driving me crazy.
I've been working on this like six hours.
Well, this isn't, this isn't maybe the answer you wanted here.
and I didn't, you don't need me for this answer.
But New Orleans is different than the Seattle area and different than the Los Angeles area.
In terms of like the building codes?
Yeah, when I met, no, no.
Okay.
When I met Bean, he was living where, like Valencia area?
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, all right.
You don't, whenever you hear about ghost stories, possession, things of that nature.
Always never.
Ever hear anything out of Valencia?
No, no.
How about, that's true?
How about Washington?
state.
No.
No, not a lot.
But now we start to head toward New Orleans.
Now you know if something mechanical is not working right, it must be haunted.
Adam, I was walking my dogs this afternoon and walked past the American Horror Story Coven
House.
That's what I'm saying.
That's on the corner of Coliseum and Jackson.
They didn't shoot.
Yeah, they didn't shoot any exteriors in Valencia for American Horror Story.
You know where I'm going.
How good a luck here, Ace?
Well, what I would say is this.
And I'm not a smoke detector expert, but I will say that the battery is there as a backup
power source for when the power goes out.
Oh.
Huh.
Because you have a smoke detector that is hardwired.
Feel me?
So when there's smoke detectors that you put a 9-volt battery in and stick it up on the ceiling,
and then there's other ones that are for a, you know, newer code would suggest
or commercial buildings or things of that nature is hardwired.
Yeah.
All right.
So hardwired has the power and it also has the batteries a backup because you couldn't
have the power go out when the next Katrina hits and then the house catches on fire with no smoke.
Didn't he say he's taken it away from the wires?
He's unhooked the wires.
He's taken the battery out.
But have you disconnected the wire that goes to it?
Yeah.
Yeah, I've done that too.
I mean, yeah, the face plate has a little connector to the wire.
Exactly.
And I've taken the whole thing, that whole thing down.
So there's no physical connection to the wiring, and the battery is removed.
Exactly.
And I've tried replacing the battery.
When I bought a new 9-gold battery and put it in thinking that would be it,
so that's what made me start thinking maybe they're all connected,
and my problem is in a different one.
But this is the only one in the house that's chirping.
none of the other ones are.
I'm getting back to my demon possession angle.
Well, I may just have to accept that as the answer.
Could there be a sure?
I really, Bean, your sensibility and instincts on this are every bit as valid as mine
since I really've never really worked with daisy-chaining smoke detectors.
Bean, I've never heard him say that to anybody ever.
I don't understand.
I'm confused by this.
I've heard enough Corolla to know he rarely gets stumped.
Oh, my God.
Do you, Adam, do you have any special connection to the Edmund Fitzgerald?
I will say, though, that, I mean, I will say that your theory about another one being on the Fritz, since they're all daisy-chained, may be a valid one.
Bean, what is the big day?
I couldn't imagine a bigger chasm in terms of Seattle versus New Orleans.
How is New Orleans treating you?
New Orleans is great. I've been here six weeks since my wife and I packed up the dogs and drove out.
But you hit the nail on the head, Adam. The chasm is why we moved. We lived in, my wife and I met in Los Angeles. We lived there for a number of years.
Didn't love Southern California, and we decided to move up to Seattle for a number of reasons. And it turned out to be a great fit. We were there for over 17 years, if you can believe it.
Wow. Time flies, right? And we loved Seattle, but it got to the point where we thought, you know what, life's too short to live in one place.
your whole life. There are so many great cities in this country. You know, why miss out on that
opportunity? So we literally said, what's the opposite of Seattle? What's the biggest change up
we could make at this point? And we thought in terms of music and food and people and culture
and weather and everything, we thought New Orleans is the flip side of Seattle.
It could be more different. Any desire to live in like Chicago or New York, one of the big towns?
I mean, we talked about that, but you know, I'm kind of a kind of a pussy when it comes to real, real cold
weather. You know, Seattle was a great fit for me because it's very moderate, contrary to what people
believe. Hot, gets hot. Very rarely gets super hot. Very rarely get super cold. I've been there with super hot.
New Orleans is real hot. And, you know, we moved here at the end of the summer and it, you know,
we felt it for reals. But I think it's going to be great, you know, great going forward.
And it's just, it's a fun, vibrant city and, you know, people are so friendly, you know, get that
southern hospitality and the food is to die for them. When I see you guys at a Coustic Christmas,
I'll weigh 400 pounds of this.
I can't wait.
Oh, boy, now you're really going off the stage this time, Bean.
Put a hole of war.
Dr. Drew, you may not be able to revive me this time.
Hey, the, yeah, being also, you got, you're getting a three-hour time difference working, working on your behalf, right?
Right, right?
Two hours, two hours central time in Louisiana, and I got to tell you, it's magical, you guys.
You know, after 20, after over 27 years of starting at 5.30 a.m. on K.
Now starting at 7.30 makes the world a difference because my natural inclination of my body is to wake up between 6 and 630, and now that's what I can do seven days a week and have plenty of time before work, and it's just, I recommend it if you get the opportunity.
Thanks, Bean. We'll talk soon on Kevin and Bean, by the way, 5 a.m. to 10 a.m. K. K. Rock out here, and you can go online and find it as well.
It's really good to talk to both you guys. I love the format of your show, and I love that you can take a conversation.
wherever you want it to go and you're not you know you're not hemmed in by the
time restrictions we have you know I live and die by the clock on Kevin so it's
really really fun to just chat like friends and I appreciate you guys taking the call
yeah thanks being we're up against top of the hour weather traffic coming up
thanks bean one of the things one of the many things I like about being is
radio is always just filled with this like dogma like you know I remember saying
hey man let me do mornings and saying we want someone local like radio like radio's
so fucking stupid. It's like we'd rather have two guys from Arizona who weren't funny who
moved to San Diego so they could say they were in San Diego versus a guy who was 10 times
funnier who was in Los Angeles doing a show in San Diego. We always knew none of these rules
meant anything. Right. And being 17 years ago when it was taboo, I mean, this is
I've heard of. You may as well just been a gay couple wanting to get married. He went,
I'm moving to Seattle. And they're like, you're part of Kevin.
a bean. You've got to come in and sit across from each other. And he's like, I'll just put myself up
up on the monitor there and I'll do it from my office in Seattle. They're like, that can never
work. It can never work. Now they can never work. I can tell the difference. I could hear. I could tell.
So they tested it out. No, I could tell. 17 years later, number one, most all the time, and who cares.
And now we're at a point, sort of like gay marriage, where beans now he's going to on this.
But it makes me go, yeah, I could do mornings and go to New York and do it this way or go if I,
You know, vice versa.
I think they're the all-time grossing morning show in history of radio or something.
They have some amazing sort of accomplishment like that.
Well, it's a good way to be.

And Tom at the other shop wanted it.

And I literally like walked it over to his car.
And I just like set it on the hood of his car and said, take it home tonight.
And then the next day it was like leaning against the trailer next to it.

Yes.
Go.

After lunch.
Now.
Do it now.
It's just, Drew, the reason you shake your head is because all the things we're talking about, you know what it is?
Bad student.
It's all behavior of bad students.
Everybody I grew up, this is everybody I grew up with.
And I purged myself of the bad student.
But I'm urging that, thankfully, your wife is on top of your kids and they're in good schools.
And being in a good system of education will purge it too.
It all helps, but this is bad student behavior brought to the grave.
It's just bad student.
It's a lot of, I got this, or I'll grab it later, or I can handle this.
It's basically an equivalent to, I don't need to study for that oral report.
It's Friday.
I'll do it Sunday night, and then Monday morning, it's like, I'll wing it.
I got this.
Yeah.
