Recorded live at Corolla One 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 on the church, get on a mandate. Get it on. Thanks for tuning in and telling a friend. Thank you, man.

As we head into the New Year's. Oh, my God. Really? Is it that time already? Yeah, man. What are we doing? We're heading into Christmas, right, almost? Let's see.

Oh, I'm having a colonoscopy this week. Lots of good things. Yeah. Lots of things to be thankful for. Drew, I don't know if I was probably told you this, but I decided to be grateful one year. I think I remember that How'd that work out?

Clearly change your attitude. I run a lot I run a All right Here's the deal Yeah Here I I was telling my listeners

I was First I I was I remember where I was About three years Three four years ago I was driving To get frozen yogurt

With Natalia And I was going over My New Year's resolution What I might look for and then I thought about it for some time and then I kept kind of getting back to losing a couple pounds of exercise, I mean walking more, like some stuff like that

and then I realized I think my New Year's resolution is for everyone else to get their shit together. Everyone else should get their shit together. Yeah, because I feel like again, I could lose a couple pounds I could drink a little less. You know, I got some fine-tuning but everyone else is a fucking train wreck. Everyone.

For those fans who heard, heard the Adam Carolla show where this was talked about. Did you get the same amount of joy as I did that Dawson in the clean show said, get your shit together when in reality that's what I wanted to scream at him about the giant sign right in front of him? The clean show. There's a funny thing, which is Dawson curses in almost every show that's what we call a clean show. But Gary, don't step on it. Yeah, yeah.

So because... Sorry, I didn't know where you were going. My mistake. That's fine. I got a now. Because what happened was is I would say to everybody, Drew, let's talk about this for a second. You tell me. You tell me how this works.

Yeah. I go out with Nate Adams and we go do make the rounds talking about the documentary 24-hour war. And we had to go do like Sirius XM radio, right? In New York? We did it out here. They have their. campus out here as well. But it all started when we did the Newman Dock and we did the Newman Dock and we we showed it

at Indianapolis at the 500. And at some point we're at the Indianapolis Theater Hall Museum or whatever and we're standing up there in our little riser and I'm doing the short preamble, whatever, thanks for coming, a couple of jokes, whatever it is. And Nate is talking and as Nate talks, the mic starts drifting. from his mouth and gets down to his hip. Now, the thing I find fascinating about human beings is you can hear very audibly that you're no longer being amplified.

So anyone is going like, I want to thank you guys all for coming out here, you know, that we do appreciate it. Like, you can hear nobody hears you because you're no longer speaking to the mic. But no, not Nate. So I have to do this thing where I stood next to him and I pushed his elbow. I've been that guy. You've been that guy. And you push the elbow.

Not the guy needing the push. And the mic goes up to the face. Yeah. Now, here's what I love about human beings. And Nate's a good guy. And Nate's a smart guy. But Nate's a human being. I am not a human being, thankfully.

I would say that's his flaw. The flaw is being a human being. You say to yourself, the joke doesn't go with. And then. Next year, at the next running of the Indianapolis 500, here we are on stage again. Oh, no. That would be amusing to me, but not nearly as good as 18 seconds later, I'm pushing his elbow again. And the thing I find fascinating about human beings is that when you correct somebody and go, hey, hey, just hold it up in spite.

And by the way, not a lot of guesswork. I'm holding the mic. I'm speaking into it. You're watching me, and I just hit you on the elbow and pushed it back up to your face. And it's a somewhat embarrassing way because there's 200 people standing there. At that point, that microphone should be tickling the back of your throat, not the arm slowly trying. And we go do the radio interviews, and I see Nate. And Nate's, he starts drifting away from the mic.

And I see the poor guy is running the thing. He's got his finger on the potentiometer. He's potting it up as is. As Nate's mouth is getting further and further away from the mic, he's going higher and higher up on the amplification. I have to talk to people. And then I push him and go like, hey, get on the mic. And it's like, oh, okay. Well, Gary, how many times do I have to do that with the guests on the Doctor Doop podcast here?

Like three times. Every single time we recorded. Every single time. And then three to four times per guest. Yeah, absolutely. It's crazy to me. When wearing headphones, I don't get it. That's the part I don't care.

But the part about being a human being, look, okay, hey, these guys aren't professional broadcasters. No, no, I get it. They were simply told something and then did not do it moments later. And these are college grads. Yes. I understand to you because it's a perceptual thing. You know, it's a sensory phenomenon. No, no, no, no. I've said it once.

I'll say it again. I've had this happen a million times. No, I know. I agree. No, microphone, a million. This now, this isn't in the high. hundreds where I've just said look you're just getting a huddle yeah and you just say the guy listen oh yeah line up wide on the right yeah I'm rolling to the right yeah go up about 10 yards break

out I'll pump then break it off and go deep look inside inside shoulder okay got your boss all right ready break here we go you're rolling the right and you're staring at this guy's back as he's running to the opposite pylon all the way down and never looking back and it's like what did we just. I didn't send you a text on Wednesday, and the game was Saturday. We were in something called a huddle 14 seconds before this.

What is that? And the number one answer is no answers. The answer is... I don't know. Well, the answer is nervousness. It's sort of the... These guys you played a lot. I understand, but they get going, and they're trying to outrun the defender, and that's what they're focused on.

And when they're focused on anything else, you now have the conditions. Let's go back to the microphone. The conditions that created the circumstance for them to drift away from the mic, those circumstances prevail, continue. Even though you have put them on alert and cognitively made them aware, the circumstances that has them, so it's unchanged. And that circumstance is, I'm in front of people, I'm nervous, I know what the fucking mic is, and I'm concentrating when I'm trying to say to these people. There are four other people in the room using this microphone, this newfangled microphone. I'll tell you we did.

We got so bad with the This Life podcast and the Bruce podcast, we did the thing on the headset. We have the mics now hooked to the med set because it was terrible. All right. Are you guys just deeply and profoundly disappointed in human beings as I am? But that's why Stern has those. I think he finally just gave up and put the headset up with the mic. When I make some sort of proclamation like at my house, like when I'm like, you know, hey, Phil's getting in your room. He's chewing everything.

We need to shut the doors, like each and every time. It's not like, well, we didn't make it until that time the next week or the following day. It is left open moments after the discussion. All I have to do is go into the kitchen, turn and I walk back. It'll just be wide open again. Weird, yes, Drew? Yes, yes. But don't you think we could remedy that just a little bit?

Well, I would argue that the first place where that goes wrong, and I don't know why it works for you, because you didn't get any of this either. but the attentional mechanism of eye-to-eye contact with mom over a long period of time is the groundwork for the building of attentional focus. And then later school teaches you to take that and have command over yourself. But ultimately, it's the intentional mechanisms with sort of the frontal midline, the prefrontal cortex, is all about mom staring in your eyes and you responding back. That's where you develop that. But the instruction.

You're back to the cognition. I get it. I get it. I'm just saying the groundwork isn't even there for people to respond to. But this is like, it's like if the first time I ate sushi, somebody said, ah, yeah, here's what you do. Take soy sauce, put it in the little bowl. Then you take the wasabi over here and you put it a little bit and then you stir it up with the with the chopstick and then dip the California roll into it a little bit and it'll be delectable.

And then they went to the bathroom. They came back and I had a, I'd stab myself with. with the chopstick in the eye. And they went, what happened? And I went, I don't know, man. I just did this. And you go, where's the wasabi? Where's the soy sauce?

Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. I'm not my way at all. Like if you said, this is it, I might say like, well, what's the ratio? We're talking about a lot. Well, if you want it, it's spicy, you put a little more wasabi. You never have anxiety. So you can have pure concentration.

I'm not even concentrating. I'm just the person saying, here's what you do. Add a little this and then add a little of that. The anxiety gets in the way of all that. It does. Really? Is that your anxiety? No, I overcome the anxiety with all kinds of other mechanisms that I've had to deploy over the years, but I'm aware that anxiety gets in the way of that.

When people are nervous, it causes them to focus on the things that's making the nervous. But we're playing a pickup football game like half the time. We're just sitting in a... I don't know if it's anxiety. Here's a test. I'm a test for you. What's the best sheet made? Oh, this I just got going.

All right. Holidays are coming. This makes me happy. This is the perfect gift for a perfect night's sleep. softest, most comfortable sheets, the bowl and branch. B-O-L-L-L- and branch. Just put them on. How awesome are they?

So, anyway, I decided really everyone else need to get their shit together. Oh, and the thing that's funny about the thing that I find insane. So when I said, look, we'll do two clean shows a week. So then I just said to everybody, it's a clean show. So today's a clean show. Brian started cussing more. And Dawson, who never... It's not funny.

Dawson, who never spoke, started to speak and he cussed when he spoke. Dawson would get on the mic like once every seven months. But when I would tell him it's a no cussing show, he would immediately... somewhere in the first 10 minutes go, hey, I told her to fuck off, you know. Like, every time, and I would just go, well, now we're going to have to do something to sort of, at my house,

I have Sharpies written on, you know, things that say locked with arrows and tape, put over, door locks so that you can't lock the handle and get locked out because we don't have the key to that. Lots of use of fingernail polish. I never thought as an adult male

I'd be using fingernail polish. unless, you know, I went Caitlin Jenner. Oh, no, I'm marking thumb turns for dead bolts and stuff so people don't get confused and leave stuff unlocked or locked. I live, I used to say in a house, but I live in a world with special needs adults. And you have to act accordingly when you have special needs a note. So hold on. This is where it gets funny.

I said, well, Gary, you, you're going to have to print up a large red sign. and you'll put it in the window and that Brian can see it and that will prevent him from cussing because he'll see this big red sign and this went on for a long time but it slowed Brian down a little for a while and put it up Nick where Dawson would put it up and Dawson he puts it on the other side I think uh okay I'll I'll take your word for this one I think he puts on that side what's up there all right now Dawson sits Nick approximately where you're sitting, and Drew, you can see through the glass. Yeah. Okay. At a certain point... To be fair, it's actually on the other side. Oh, it is. Okay, I lied. I put it in. It's always right there.

Okay. I've modified that maybe since the first time. Now, here's the comedy. So Dawson sits, what, 22 inches away from the sign? Yeah. Okay. After Dawson couldn't stop cussing. And by the way, it says it on both sides of the sign. Go ahead. I'm sorry. Oh. This is where Drew. I bet you part.

Now, Drew, this is you just being you. After Dawson couldn't stop cussing. That's why you jumped in that, Drew. Yes. You understand your disability. Oh, yes. Okay. I said to Gary, well, Gary, I didn't think we're going to have to do this, but we're going to have to write it on both sides of the sign. This was live on the air, and this is what I did.

And he said, no, it is on both sides of the side. It is huge, bold lettering that's just directly in front of Dawson that does not prevent him from cussing. Now, I like Dawson. I mean, literally is almost all he could see. It fills up most of his field of vision. I am curious how life works for many individuals. Today was doubly satisfying for me, though, because we were talking about the New Year's resolutions, and Dawson, unprovoked, opened his mic and goes, I like the one where you told everyone

to get their shit together. And it was just triply ironic because that's exactly what I want to yell at him about the clean show. Now, Drew, well, how do you get everybody? yells to get their shit together at him how do you do that well their first as you know drew as a as an addiction medicine specialist the recognition of a problem is the first thing we need to do if someone yells fuck you you're an alcoholic every time you say to him i have an intervention if the answer to the intervention is why are you all dicks well we're gonna have a i'm gonna hit you

with a Smyrinoff bottle. Well, that's almost a given. Everybody's posture is why are you being a dick? That means no fixing of any problems ever. But I would argue that there is a more diabolical issue at work. This whole phenomenon, well, the first thing is acknowledging the problem, way overstated. Oh, no. No, no, here's the bigger problem.

You'll get me on this. The bigger problem is getting to people to where they want to change. because if they don't want to change, badly, they're not changing. I have found through living with some folks who, you know, we'll get in the car and take off for Topanga and they'll just announce, I got 10% on my cell phone. We've got to find a place. And it's like, we just got in the car.

You've been in the house for nine hours. Like, I've got nothing. Now it's 2%. It's like, are they, Natalia, and occasionally Lynette, they don't want to have a dead cell phone anymore. more than you want a dead cell phone, which is none. No. I don't want a dead cell phone.

You don't want a dead cell phone. I don't want Phil to chew a flip-flop. You don't want Phil the chew. That's almost equal. Yes. All right. So now where are we at? As far as morning to change?

Well, you said they got to have the desire to not want this. Is Phil not eating the flip-flops? No, the cell phones are dead and the doors are open. That's the point. Well, that's my point. They don't want it. Right. It's always been your point, that they have to, your actions speak louder than anything else.

I don't, I think it's beyond that. It's what? It's an inability to do anything. Well, it's a, it, Dawson doesn't want to cuss on a clean show, but he has an inability to stop himself from doing it. But it, you're, I would look at it a little differently. I don't disagree with you, except to say that change is much harder for people than anybody ever. acknowledges and in order for somebody to change they have to be highly motivated and how do you get that motivation if oh you're right no they're not by the way hold on god damn it what change is

no big whoop for anybody's got two fucking brain cells to rub together and wants whatever to not happen anymore like it's it's not it's not you're making into way too big a deal which is like you put keys in the fridge because you don't want to leave the penicill and this is an interesting thing out on the thing because i've always asked you how you were able to change from the the work site hump and drywall to you know the car with the uh pliers on the window crank how you were able vice script how you were able to pull yourself out of that and you said one day i just started climbing that ladder i just started making that change so you develop the discipline of change i do have the muscles that's a rare thing evidently don't have that

especially if they don't want it, if they're not motivated. I don't know who doesn't want their cell phone charged. Well, guess what? If they have enough real consequence from it, that's why you've got to let kids fail and things. If they have enough consequence, real consequence, they feel it, they'll want to change. Not you yelling at them. We're not living in a society that has consequences anymore.

I think you're right. That's the problem. I was just, if you used to get mall by bear. There's a book sitting in front of it was called Millennials of New York. And I was like, oh, man, I know all these kids. And then you look at the... It's a parody. It's a parody, but it's awfully accurate.

Right. Is there anything, any common feature that you notice and look at these pictures of these kids who are representative of millennials in New York? They all have a, you can kiss my ass, kind of a laissez-faire, take it or leave it, kind of approach to their look. Their look is a dusting of disdain. None of it says eager to please. Like 24-year-old should be in eager-to-please mode. self-satisfied, but not eager to please.

However, does that look like an inexpensive outfit? We're looking at a gentleman who's wearing purple pants. I do not know the current market value of purple slats, Drew. How were you dressed? And I pray that I never do. How were you dressed at that age? I was wearing the same thing every day all day. Look at these kids.

Yeah, they dress nice. Drew, please describe what you're holding up in front of the listening audience, please. The point being is that somebody's, providing them lots of money for these clothings and these beer tastings and their living environments. I don't think it's them. I have a theory about that. Because they have that attitude, like that F you attitude, because, hey, man, I'm just hanging out. I've said it once, I'll say it many times.

Never been a better time to be poor. Right. Everybody works for me is poor. And that's the way I like it. And every time I ask them what they're doing on the weekend. They're not be making any money. It involves trips to San Francisco to see the Patriots come in and play the 49ers. It involves going to Disneyland.

It involves sushi and wine tasting or heading up north or whatever it is. Or it involves just going home and chillaxing in front of a 55-inch plasma monitor. So it's never been a better time to be poor. And yes, I agree. You were talking about daddy and mommy or buying all those scarves, but I didn't. I'm not even thinking that so much because I'm not saying they're spoiled. I'm saying they haven't scraped the bottom. Yes.

There's going to be really, they haven't fallen on that hard rock that makes you go, Jesus, I've got to get my eye together. Oh. You know, that's what I see. Consequences. And I don't, and by the way, not the kid's fault, the parents fall. No, I. It's a parent's fault, 100%.

No. Well, yeah, but, okay. Am I saying anything in accurate? I live this every single day, but there's nothing. The only thing I can do is just go, well, you know what? I've decided to stop working. So let's see what happens in the next few months and see if anything. Or someone's got to step up around here because I'm chillaxing for a couple of months.

Chris Rock did some very funny stuff, and as I heard him the other day, and he was saying that he goes, he goes, you know, the, he goes, everything else in your life you can hire somebody to do except the guy that makes the money. You can't hire the guy to make the money. Right. You can hire everything else. You can hire the guy that cooks. You can hire the person that drives. You can hire the person that looks after the kids. Can't hire the guy that makes the money.

Yeah. So that's the way. Or the woman that makes the money, too. It works both way. Owning home is great until things start to break down, like a pipe burst. And you've got ankle deep water at 2 a.m. Furnaces crap out in the winter, thousands of repairs. Home serve could have saved you.

Good, man. Hey, I love it when you talk radio, because I'm part of the morning show, and the impression you do, we do weather and traffic. every six minutes. It's exactly how you do it. It's so perfect. Well, thank you. Six minutes. Yeah. Weather and traffic. Six minutes. When I started, it was 10, and apparently that wasn't enough, so we bumped it up to six. All right. So I'm calling about the documentary, 24-hour war. I freaking loved it, man.

I'm a race fan. I'm more into motocross. I do a podcast and all that. Not good stuff. But I went into the documentary not knowing anything about the Ford and Ferrari War, and really this makes it easy and interesting and fun for anyone to watch. even if you're not super into cars because there's so much storyline, even it's got some tragedy in there with the deaths. I never knew how many people died in the cars back in those days because they were just insanely dangerous. But it was a fun watch, start to finish.

I'm glad you enjoyed it. It irks me a little bit sometimes because I feel like there's a double standard, which is you make, or one makes the documentary about the lesbian celloists who's struggling with her profession and her sexuality, and I can sit down and enjoy it. And by the way, would be a colossal douche if I just went, eh, I don't support that or I don't want to watch that. It's not my thing.

You know, I watch King of Kong because I hate video games, but I love documentaries. Yeah. And I could go. I'm not interested in a bunch of nerds that play video games. Like, no, no, it's a documentary. That's the story. People, it's not a two-way street. People get a little snotty about car stuff.

Like, hey, I'm not a car person. I'm not going to enjoy this. Like, there's nothing to do with that. And as a matter of fact, the, The whole reason documentaries were invented was to show you worlds and things and pieces of time and history that you didn't know anything about. Yeah. That's why they're there. For some reason, when it comes to cars, because they're car guys and gearheads, people go, well, you've got to be a car guy or a gearhead.

Like, no, no, no. It's just a story. It's an epic story. And I wish people should approach from all directions their doc, not based on the subject of the documentary, but based on... The eternal qualities, right? And how the story is told. Yeah, judge it, judge it on that. But it does help.

I got to say, it does help to have sort of a, some connection to the memories and the, you know what I mean? It really made it romantic. Yeah, I agree. It was funny. One of the, one of the only, we didn't get a negative review, but a sort of critique within a review, it's like, well, a real love letter to Ford, you know, with the wins and the stuff and the way it ended and everything like that. And it's like, hey, Duchenstein, they won four times in a row. There's no love letter. It was just the actual facts.

Well, it's like, hey, this whole World War II, real tip of the cap to the U.S. and England. Like, well, they did win. Like, I can't, I can't say it was a tie. You know what I mean? Like, sorry. Hey, man, while the hating on Japan and Germany. It's like, well, Hitler killed himself.

And then we lit off a couple of nukes over there. So that's how history saw it. I'm sorry if it seemed like it was a little blowing a little too much smoke up the ars of Ford, but they happened to win. Wow. That many years in a row. I don't know what else to tell you. All right.

What's going to break? But we get back. I love to hear more about his Tulsa. He's from Tulsa. What is Tulsa Morning Show is like? Wouldn't you want to hear? No, but we'll do that right after this. Hey, Chivers.

And we were just on Jay Moore's podcast. So check out Jay Moore's stories while you're at it. It's a great time. We had so much fun. was a good time. All right, let's get back to Skyler. Skyler. Yes, sir. Is it like an AM radio station or what kind of radio station?

Yeah, we're on FM as well, news talk. News does. News is unbelievable. I'll say this. I used to complain about the time all the time, and then it struck me, obviously, everyone has a cell phone with a digital clock in it, everyone has a car with a radio and a clock, and every device you're listening to the radio on has a lock attached to it, your microwave, your oven, you can't escape a clock.

Today, no. It's not like it was a sundell out in the guard. Let's go check. Uh-oh, clouds are blowing in. We may not know. The verdict may be out for a while. The clock, the time thing is, look, back in the day, I drove a truck, I didn't have a digital radio, and I didn't have a phone.

And at some point, when I was listening to the radio, as I was driving into work, they would give you the time and they go, it's 651. Oh, I'm cutting it close. I'll give you this, and you can bring this up to your program director. Give it the first name of your program director. Levi. Levi. All right, good.

Oh, I'm going to make you tell a story. I think you've told a while. I would say, Levi, remember how old is Levi? 37, I believe. Okay. Levi, remember your young boy? You're driving around down the main thoroughfare with your mom and the car and your dad in the car and he'd look, and every time he passed a bank.

It had the time out front, big digital readout. Remember, like 1984, had the time out there, time, 85, 86, the time. Yeah, I remember that. When's the last time he passed a bank and saw a big digital clock with the time? These guys made it out what you're talking about. It would be the time and the temperature flashing. Time and the temperature. And he'd go, I'm familiar.

Geez, I hadn't really thought about it, but, God, must be 15, 20 years now. And you go, yeah. You know why they did away with that, Levi? I don't know. I never really thought about it. Because the time and the temperature is in digital form in every fucking car in the dashboard, two feet away from the person sitting. And your hand, two in the phone.

I know, but it's when you're driving in your, in your 19, your 2014 or 15 or 16 car, the time and the temperature are right there. Banks, smart people. Yeah. Banks go, what do we waste in time, pardon the pun, on a whole bunch of these signs. out here that's not drawing any focus because there's no novelty because everyone knows what time it is

and what the temperature is, yep. Radio guys, not quite, not bankers. Well, I want you to tell, if you don't mind, the program director's story about the comedians used to have for free every week on your morning show. I don't think you've told it in a while.

It's a great story. I think Brian had brought this up to me. We had many comedians, but the ones that were, Sort of reoccurring. Joel McHale came in every week and would do the soup, you know, stories from the soup, preloaded with a bunch of material from the soup. And what did your program to say about that?

Hold on. Drew has no idea how jokes or stories are constructed, yes? But he's a wealth of knowledge and information, so we love having him. I know, but I think you know where anyone is going with this. I definitely laugh at this show for different reasons. All right, good, everybody has. Joel McHale would come in every week All right

Zach Alfanakis would come in often and Louis C.K. would come in and Jack Silver label them Radio Death and I would have funny too

right and weird not funny Well the one thing that radio here the biggest contribution that radio guys do is is this like he'd go Does he have to come in every week?

Like what if we did it twice a month and I go he's funny he delivers he puts out every week it's it's funny I'm we're lucky to have him yeah but every week I it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's a kind of an argument you know what I mean it's like saying a movie was a little bit long like there's really no comeback from it like yeah but every week can we just do it mix it up do it every other and it's like it's one of those stupid critiques that you can never really yeah fight back with because now you just sound defensive when you're like it's less work that I have to do, and it's funny, and he's doing us a favor by coming in here and hitting it

out of the ballpark every time. Yeah, but every week. Yeah, Joel McHale's coming by for free every goddamn week. And he's calling him, not funny, and radio death and weird. Louis C.K. and Zach were more radio death. And Joel was just, little Joel goes a long way. Radio death. And he thought, what did he think was a good idea? The wing bowl. that's where fat guys eat buffalo chicken wings that's the radio's well it's traffic and weather traffic weather yeah but you do it live at like the parking lot of a best buy right i remember saying like why first off i don't like chicken wings and secondly i don't like seeing fat guys eat stuff fast and then thirdly why is that compelling radio and he said it's huge in

Philly. Oh. And I said, um, in the 70s. Well, they're a top 20 market, but we're top three. Like, we're in a higher market than there. Why are we looking down? It's a weird. Usually, you know, when you're playing AAA, you go, hey, good enough for the Yankees.

You know what I mean? But when you are the Yankees, you're saying good enough for the mudhands, it's a weird direction to go. Yeah. It's big in Philly, which was a weird thing because it's like, well, we have, you can break our audience into two. groups, folks that are just from Pennsylvania, and then folks that are from Philly proper. They're all sitting around eating a cheese steak right now.

Like, what does Philly have to, I don't get, I've never talked to anyone about Philadelphia on this show. There's no Philly. My dad's from South Philly. That's as close as our Philly. Oh, my God, that's so funny. Yeah. There is interesting stuff in radio.

That's what I was getting at with Skylar. It's wanted to hear about his stories because there's, it is its own. little culture, its own little history. People don't know about it. Oh, they don't. All right. Mangria, back in stock, by the way. We were out of the original for a long time.
