Starting point is 00:01:43 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 Shoe Show. Yeah, get it on, got to get on. I chose you to get on mandate. Get it on. Thanks for tuning in.
Starting point is 00:02:03 Thanks for telling a friend. We appreciate all you do for us. Good day, Dr. Drew. Say good day, sir. I said good day, man. What's going on? Oh, my gosh. I just caught wind of what they just sent you there.
Starting point is 00:02:18 Should we share that? Michael Nairn, the great Michael Nairn did a drawing a big bad Drew. Now, not a full cartoon. Oh, it's got to be a cartoon. That's hysterical. Yeah. Big Mad John. Everyone knows.
Starting point is 00:02:34 So it's kind of broad at the shoulder and narrow at the hip, and everyone knows you don't give no lip to Big Drew. Let's hear the music. Come on, Gary. Drew loves it. Big Bad John. It's just so random. Dude. Yeah, Michael Neron is working for family guy.
Starting point is 00:02:51 Of course. And, yeah, well, of course, because he worked for. free he did all those wonderful animations for us on loveline yep he did all the good stuff and uh at a certain point um somebody noticed shocking no nobody noticed oh all right well he uh he wanted a job and i said let me call my friend set my friend seth macfarlane and i set up a meeting for him to go in and uh i showed Seth some of the stuff and his stuff online and he responded to it, he went in and he got the job. Of course.
Starting point is 00:03:30 And now he gets to work over at the best place in the world, which is a family guy. Does he, do you know what? Have you have been through the factory that is the family guy? All the different and by the way, Seth overlooks every piece of it, which is insane. Not since Ted, but go ahead. Not since Ted, okay. Last time I was there you did.
Starting point is 00:03:50 Well, let me put it to you this way. And yes, I've been all up and down from Seth's office in the corner and all the way on one side of the building to the recording studio and the other side of the building to where Naren sits, which is kind of in between. Well, that's what I'm asking. He's doing the – because each little zone is its own cartoon thing. What is background? What is sky? What is the different characters and what's movement of the characters? It's all over the place like that.
Starting point is 00:04:13 I can't tell you exactly what his title is, but he's working on this stuff before we see it obviously and enjoying it. And, no, the thing about Seth is I, so what would happen was, is I'd do a voice of death for a family guy. Yeah. And then I would find out at some point, they just need you to pick up is and that and something else. They need you to pick some stuff up because after they put the car, assemble the cartoon, that's when they realize, oh, now we need a little more of this or a little more of that. Yeah. So I was working literally across the street on the same side of the street, just I think across a small street, at Calais, X. And, you know, our family guy is, right next door.
Starting point is 00:05:03 All by your favorite landmark in Los Angeles. Yeah, the place, the hole, the pit that's filled with transmission flow. That's awesome. Bring the kids. What a museum on top of it? Yeah, it's awesome. See McDonald's rappers floating in that stuff. It's majestic.
Starting point is 00:05:16 So I would, so what would happen was, is I would finish up my radio show at 10, and we didn't have big long post-mortems. We sat around for about 40 minutes after a show talking about who's coming in tomorrow and what stuff we might do, and then we'd go home, you know. So I was pretty much wrapped out of there by 11. So I would say, now, Seth, not an early riser. Oh. And so what they would say is, can you come after, you know, can you come lay this stuff down? And I'd say, yeah, I'm next door. I'll come over at 11 and we'll lay this stuff down.
Starting point is 00:05:57 And I would get there at 11. Now, keep in mind, I've been up since 5 and I'm looking to get out of there. Yeah. And I'd go, where's Seth? He's running. Seth in those days, was probably got his drink on, probably got his single guy on. He was enjoying himself, and he wasn't getting up at 8 a.m. and doing calisthenics. He was getting up at 10.30, 11.
Starting point is 00:06:20 And so it would always be Seth running late, and I'd say, I'd be looking at my script, and the script would be like, hey, you. So I'd go, why don't we give like three, like, hey, you, hey, you, hey, you, hey, you. I'll give you three, you know. Give you eight if you want. I'll give you eight as you want. There's a couple of pickup lines here. Let me go home.
Starting point is 00:06:43 And then I can get out of here. Well, Seth should be here. He should be coming along pretty soon. He said he's going to be here at 11. He's running a little bit late. And I'd just be sort of like going, it's just a couple of words on a page. I'll give you some options, you know.
Starting point is 00:07:01 We wait for Seth. We wait for Seth. We don't do anything. Seth needs to be here. He wants to be here, blah, blah, blah. Smash cut to after Ted came out. Oh, yeah. I'd show up like you do.
Starting point is 00:07:13 going whole scripts now or, you know, eight pages or whatever. And I'm like, where's Seth? Ah, we're just going to get started out of him. He said, go ahead. Well, he used to be involved in every piece. Well, yeah. Including, like, you know, I was with him when he, like, looked over the animator's shoulders and was like erasing, you know, elbows.
Starting point is 00:07:28 And then the elbows should be a little curved over here, that kind of thing, into everything. Yeah, it's, uh, look, there's only so many hours in the day. There's only so many minutes in your life and you're doing Ted and, uh, you got a million other projects and you've been doing this. for 15 years it's only human not it would be never let me this is it is it because ted made so much money he doesn't worry or is it says he's well yes and no he's got a thousand different projects well how could he possibly have time to wait for dumbbo me i wonder why you said after ted i would think it'd be even during ted you know what i mean like once ted was probably during but
Starting point is 00:08:06 after when when now you're thinking about your next screenplay and it's you know whatever million ways to die in the West or whatever it is. All right. Let's see. Oh, we got a song? We got a version. Definitely worth listening to it. Oh, it's a listen.
Starting point is 00:08:22 So he did it with the music and everything. Oh, man. Uh-oh. Big Drew. Big Drew. He went to little old father at school for Alvano. Coeliac. A passionate man never needs an aphrodisiac.
Starting point is 00:08:40 Brought it to the shoulder and narrow at the hymn. But everyone knew he was pussy whipped. Big Drew. Big Drew. Big Drew. Big Drew. Big Drew. Is improv was worse than his acting in a New York minute?

Starting point is 00:09:53 Did that picture come with Or is that you guys? No, that's him It's true, looking concerned Actually, you and Tucker Carlson should get some sort of award For your looks Off dialogue
Starting point is 00:10:05 Like just listening to other people Tucker Carlson Yeah, because we're really listening Are you really saying? Oh, I did not know this. And then Drew's got a, hmm. You know, it's usually it's like, I'm sober. I mean, yes, I smoke a little bit of reefer, and I will drink a light beer, but I am, I do consider myself sober.
Starting point is 00:10:26 And that Drew has the look of, yeah, yeah, you consider yourself such. I consider myself sober. All right. Mr. Crowell. Mm-hmm. So he was talking about missing the old love line, and it reminded me. me that when I was at the MTV Movie Awards last week
Starting point is 00:10:43 I got to know Amber Rose a little bit who's I guess they're going to start a new love line with her I think they already did. Is it already up? I haven't seen it. Is it good? I think it's a podcast. No, they had a podcast but now they have a TV show going. Oh, a TV show. MTV.
Starting point is 00:11:00 It's got to be horrible. It has to be. It's MTV and her. Who's going to be good? I think she's pretty good. I think she's pretty good. Look, all I know is everything Everything is horrible. By the way, everything is horrible. By the way, that would be good, as if she did it with me.
Starting point is 00:11:14 That'd be really interesting, right? It'd be less bad. Look, look, I'm not saying, I don't know her personally, and I'm not even going to, it's not even attack. It just, it has to be horrible. For the record, you would like her. It would have to be horrible for any, because it's not me. Oh, oh, it's, well, it's, how could it be? Of course it's going to be horrible.
Starting point is 00:11:37 Well, it's not going to be good the way you make it good. It's going to be good, different. this possibility of things television being good that's not you oh yeah yeah like breaking bad and stuff like that yeah but not not so be like that it's gonna be bad but i i just thought to myself i i don't want to do it for the record i mean i'm not looking for a job or anything with that but i just thought oh man if she and i did it that'd be interesting but i pray you know last thing although they're doing a lot of retro stuff at mtb the last thing what's going on it what why the hell were you at the movie awards yeah because i still do teen mom and that's their you know it's a big show for them
Starting point is 00:12:10 Huh? Oh, Team moms. Yeah, all right. So they invited you. Yeah. Okay. All right. It was fun.
Starting point is 00:12:17 It was good. I never told it my weird Amber Rose story. I told on my show. No, tell me. I was just telling it two days ago, sadly, for anyone who listened to both shows, or last week. Fast forward through this if you did. I was at, yeah, I was at the podcast, you know, up fronts in New York, and I was standing, getting ready to get changed by the bathroom. I brought my suit in or whatever, and we were going up with Norm and Pattis and blah, blah, blah.
Starting point is 00:12:43 I didn't know she was the new Loveline host or whatever. And I'm staying there by the door and the person came out, right? One person came out, I started to go in that I was going to get changed. There was no place to change. And someone else, some other woman or something was like kind of needed to use it. And I said, oh, go ahead. It's going to take me a minute to change. It's just go ahead.
Starting point is 00:13:03 So she went. So she went to the bathroom, shut the door. Then I think another person came in and went, hey, could I? And I was like, eh, go ahead, go ahead in front of me. But at a certain point, I got to get in change. And then I'm standing by the door. There's only one bathroom.
Starting point is 00:13:15 It's not male females. It's one door. And door shut. And Amber Rose comes by. And she says, I'm just standing there holding my suit. And she goes, anyone in there? And I go, yeah, there's somebody in there. And when they're done, I'm looking to get in there and change.
Starting point is 00:13:29 And she said, so there's somebody in there? And she said, yeah, they're in. And she went, okay. And then she went. Is anyone in there? I was like, not enough that the guy standing by the door holding the suit over his arm is not enough information? I just said, by the way, why did you ask? I don't know why he asked, but then say, like, when I said.
Starting point is 00:13:51 Was it a guy? Who was in there? Yeah. I think it was a woman. Did she just barge in then? I wonder if there was some intention there. No, the door's locked. It's a small bathroom.
Starting point is 00:14:01 She just asked me, is there somebody in there? I said, yes, there's somebody in there. And she went, I wish I had a little of that in me. Like, I don't know what compelled her to knock and ask if someone was in there. But, like, as if, as if it was in a sitcom, as she knocked the toilet flushed. And I was like, well, I think, don't take my word for it. Take the toilet's word for it. I worry.
Starting point is 00:14:26 So when you talk, people, do you hear her toilet flushing? Is that what you're saying? It's a little bit of a weird wiring, I suppose. But anyway, they're doing a MTV's bringing back love line? Yeah, apparently. All right. I was just thinking, if I were to try to make that show work with her, I'd put it like a young Ben Carson in the other seat. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:14:45 Young Ben Carson. It needs to be somebody very different. Very, me, I'm available. But somebody very different than her. Like, very different. So black or Hispanic would be good. Male would be good. Conservative.
Starting point is 00:14:58 Isn't she something? What is she? No, she's like, well, sort of Creole-ish, I think. There's something like that. Something, right? There's only a little piece of that, though. Now, she's mostly like Russian or something, or Portuguese. Oh.
Starting point is 00:15:10 Oh, who knows? I don't know what a real name is. Amber Perchuk or something, Kirkchuk. What is it? Amber Levinchuk. Levinchuk. Uh-huh. Father is of Italian and Irish descent, and her mother is of Cape Verdeem and maternal Scottish descent.
Starting point is 00:15:26 Oh. So it's like a little bit of, she got all hip-hop on me. I didn't know she was that. No. Oh, what did you know? Yeah. Okay. But anyway, so somebody very different, wouldn't that work?
Starting point is 00:15:35 If somebody really super different, super conservative. Well, sort of, but it's not really because I'm not on the show. No, it wouldn't be funny. Okay. Yeah, it might be trying to make it interesting, right? Yeah, I believe those shows are so incredibly host-driven that unless you've got somebody up there who can really bring it, call in and call out or question and question out, I just can't. see it but it doesn't mean it can't work well yeah right what do you mean those shows was that mean there are shows that rely on like like anybody can host a game show right uh anybody can
Starting point is 00:16:16 uh anyone can sort of well not anyone can call but we get to a certain level of professionalism you can call a basketball game or baseball game or something it doesn't involve a lot of you yeah it's more of a professionalism yeah it's like he's a really good traffic cop Right, right. And when you get to that, like, Ryan Sechrest is the best traffic cop. Yeah. You know what I mean? Right.
Starting point is 00:16:39 I always find it, but if you have a show, look, you couldn't just replace Howard Stern with a really good traffic cop. You need somebody who could bring something. Right. And so you wouldn't go, well, what's wrong with just replacing him with her or whatever it is? You go, oh, that's not going to work. Now, if somebody said nobody could ever replace Ryan Seacrest in American Idol, I'd go, there's probably a bunch of guys who could do that. It's not going to bump me.
Starting point is 00:17:05 I don't think it's going to hurt the show. I feel like you can sing or you can't sing. Find someone who can read the prompter, be competent, stand-ups right. About being prompt is a good quality to have. You know what I mean? Get your teeth whitened. Yeah. But dress right.
Starting point is 00:17:18 Which is also kind of a, I'm surprised and or a little bit disappointed. When we have calls, you can put them up on the thing. On the board. Folks who aren't listening to us. Put the calls up when you got them. you have them. Yeah. I don't know if you do.
Starting point is 00:17:35 Do, hooking up with Kelly Rippa. Like, I just feel like it's the least creative choice we could ever make. Like Ryan Seacrest in the morning with Kelly Rippa. Like, I don't, I'm not, first off. Well, what does a morning show really need?
Starting point is 00:17:54 I'm not, I'm not, I'm not one of these guys that, I'm not like one of these guys that's going to bag on Ryan Seacrest or bag on the Kardashians or whomever. like just because you know what I mean like I don't want to be one of these guys that hates Walmart and hates McDonald's just because you know uh their burgers I like better than McDonald's but there's nothing wrong with McDonald's and that's fine and it gives I got I work there
Starting point is 00:18:18 when I'm 16 I'm just saying I know you know and I don't know see Chris well and I and I cannot I cannot pretend to know what he's thinking or or know every every trick in his playbook. But I've never, he doesn't seem to offer a lot of his own opinions. That's not his job. He's on the record, you know, he has a philosophy about that.
Starting point is 00:18:44 I get it. Yeah, he's literally a void. When I'm seeing two people for an hour reading the news, I want to hear some of their opinions on what's going on in the news, not someone traffic copying the news. I agree with you. That's not interesting for me.
Starting point is 00:18:59 I know, but, but I give what you're saying. Okay. And also, so it just seems to me, like, congenial is fine, but I mean, it's sort of like saying, you know, I want a composer who's nice. Well, no, hold on. Like, let me, I'm going to build a little bit different case and stay with them. I'm not shitting on your point. I'm just going to have you. Go ahead.
Starting point is 00:19:20 We already shit on, right? Don Fardo, Don Pardo, right? Don Fardo. Speaking of shitting on a point. Don Pardo, great announcer. Yes. Didn't offer opinions. Wasn't particularly... He's an announcer. That's really what Sechrist is. He's an announcer.
Starting point is 00:19:39 You guys hear the announcement he's making the announcer from Saturday Night Live? Like saying, I don't get enough Michael Buffer's opinions about the fighter when he's doing the... Let's get ready to rumble. No, no, no, no. He's an announcer. So, so hold on. Oh, boy. Just follow me.
Starting point is 00:19:56 So really... You and Amber together again. Secre's thing. It's going to be a hell of a show. Yeah, go ahead. Secret thing is mainly. announcing, right? Well, no, I look at him as a host. Well, now that he's in the morning seat, yes. I think that's what the... No, no, I look at him as a host even when he's doing
Starting point is 00:20:11 American Idol. And I always thought there's a skill to that, a skill, an invisible skill, a 10,000 hour skill, but a very real skill. Getting up there, keeping track of the time, and how long everyone's talking and when to cut them off and when to move on and someone's in your ear and all that kind of stuff and read the prompter, get off the prompter, and go talk to this person and back on to the prompter. Do not take that and sort of poo-poo it or go, it's, you know, so much window dressing. No, that's an important skill. All right.
Starting point is 00:20:41 That's the only point I'm making, is that it's a real serious skill. Yeah, the Don Pardo thing was semi-retarded. Well, I was making point about another skill set. That's all that. Yeah, no, it's a skill set. I'm saying, but when you're going through the newspapers every morning, I want to hear a little more opinion than a little more. In his new role.
Starting point is 00:20:55 You're right. I get that. Yeah. So I'm not sure why. Well, we don't know. He's never really done that. to be fair he's avoided that actively it feels like a big fat boring safe step in the wrong direction okay i just feel like somebody went luck we got to hire someone who's not going to get us in any kind
Starting point is 00:21:16 of trouble ever with any statement they ever say and when you're just it is disney if you're just reading the newspaper yeah and you tell a guy to kind of go off the cuff and weigh in yeah way in on what you know, Ferguson or whatever's going on this morning, you put somebody in there and we could get into trouble. You know, it's weird. So let's just have the guys never going to say anything. Yeah. And then we'll have an hour of two people not saying anything.
Starting point is 00:21:41 That's ABC, right? I guess. Well, the view has now gone all super opinions, which is weird. They've gone, they've gone harsher. Yeah. You know what I mean? It's weird. That's the same network, different directions.
Starting point is 00:21:52 Mm-hmm. You know, a busy schedule, traveling, and whatnot. You start using AG1. I was just today I had a physician come up to me and he handed me an AG1 pack and he said hey what do you think of this and I thought he goes this is the best and I was like well guess what after a long day a lot of travel keeps your energy steady it's a daily habit one scoop in water and you get a full spectrum of micronutrients from whole foods that can kind of fill in the gap it can hopefully help support immune resilience many people report more energy without crashing and it's convenient
Starting point is 00:22:27 No dozens of pills are swallowing, getting stuff caught in your throat. It's a way to make supplements easy and efficient. Lots of people use AG1, and perhaps you should too, right, Daphne?

Starting point is 00:22:57 Every suspect was a train killer. Then buckle up for drive, World War Z. Every human being we saved is one of less the fight. And Charlie's Angels. Damn, I hate to fly. Launch into sci-fi adventure with the fifth element and laugh through the mayhem in Tropic Thunder. What is going on here?
Starting point is 00:23:15 All the thrills, all for free. Pluto TV. Stream now. Hey, never. All right, we got some phone calls up there. Let's do it. advice, bad contractor. Hey, uh, Cosmo.
Starting point is 00:23:31 Yes, sir. 34, Sherman Oaks. What's going on? I'm a little nervous. I, uh, spent my eye lessons to listen to you and Drew on Love Wine, and, uh, the hamper of my favorite movies. And, uh, so it's an honor to talk, you gentlemen. Hold on, you're breaking up the hammers one of your favorite movies. Thank you. Yeah. Can you hear me now, all right? Mm-hmm. Of course.
Starting point is 00:23:52 Uh, Andrew, you live. You live. Mm-hmm. All right, Ace. So I am a relatively new homeowner. We bought the house in September. And, of course, in March, some contractor and people bought the place directly behind us and demolished it, and they're going to be putting up some kind of monstrosity.
Starting point is 00:24:15 And this contractor damaged our back fence along our property line. I notified him right away, and he said, oh, don't worry, we'll take care of it. And what they did was just prop it up and use a little twist tie to connect it back there. And I told him that wasn't going to cut it. And at that point, he started ignoring me. It's now a vacant lot going on about eight weeks. And it's right on Woodman Avenue, which is a really busy street. And they didn't secure their fence on the busy street.
Starting point is 00:24:49 So basically my backyard is now open to anybody who walks by on Woodman Avenue. Hey, hold on. Are they going to build an apartment there or a superhouse or what are they going to do? All he would tell me was that it would be a multi-family dwelling. Multi-family dwelling. So that could be a condominium or something like that? Or maybe it's just a one-bedroom with Mexicans. Oh, jeez. Oh, I'm sorry. I'm doing it. I'm being realistic. Everything else on the block is apartment buildings, two-story apartments. All right. A, Cosmo?
Starting point is 00:25:26 Yeah. What I'm saying right now is this is your window to start planting your bamboo along that back wall. Hopefully it gets up to about 15 feet before these guys finish off their apartment so you don't have the family. The guy smoking the cigarette checking out your daughter when she's in the swimming pool in your backyard. Yeah. You know, yeah. No, I mean, yeah, yeah. I mean, plant that shit this weekend.
Starting point is 00:25:52 Yeah. Now, what about getting the fence repaired? This guy refuses to give me any insurance info. I've got his state licensing number, but I don't know how to proceed. Well, I think getting his license, checking him out online, saying you're going to register a complaint with the Bureau is a good thing to motivate him to come over and do what seems like not that much work, which is repair. your fence and secure his. So I think saying that you're looking into basically ratting him out to his sanctioning body is probably a good idea.
Starting point is 00:26:37 Drew doesn't like that as a doctor. No, no, no, I'm just saying it. You don't like it. What they don't want is for you to go to the board, so to speak, or, you know, whoever it is and wage a complaint because then when you go online and you check on these guys, see that there's been complained. Not of that, it's not fair. It's like, hey, you tell me, okay, I'm on it. I'll get to it. You know what I mean? I don't, don't, why go right to the authorities? No, he's trying to get him. Give him a chance. But plant, plant your baboons.
Starting point is 00:27:07 Well, for, for about six weeks, I contacted the contract, and he ignored me. So finally, I told him, listen, there are vagrants living on your vacant lot. And this is a security concern for my family. He came back to me with, prove to me that the law says I have to secure my lot. So I found the code that says they have to have an eight-foot fence. And then he said, okay, well, I'm willing to meet with you now.
Starting point is 00:27:32 Is it eight-foot or six-foot? Eight-foot. Eight-foot secured fence is what the code I found on the LA Department of building. It's gone up. It's gone up. All right, look. Then go ahead and get his license number, contact the board, plant the bamboo,
Starting point is 00:27:51 see what you can do. This fucking home problem with the everyone's just bivouacking wherever they can find space a stretch of something flat no matter where it is and our refusal to do anything about it is absolutely insane yeah and and by the way to okay first here we go all right i can't spend i cannot sleep overnight at the beach i can't start a pit fire at the beach i can't even bring my fucking dog to the beach Can't put a kitchen. You can't smoke at the beach. Can't put a kitchen over your garage.
Starting point is 00:28:23 Right. So let's not pretend like we don't have rules. We have tons and tons of rules. And also... We're a taxpayer. Let's, yes. You have to have rules. Right.
Starting point is 00:28:34 Okay. Let's not forget that these folks that we like to... We like to decide that they're all just proud men and women who wore the uniform and returned here, only to find their backs, our backs return to them and were forced because of our horrible economy to sleep out of doors. You're dealing with a lot of junkies. You're dealing with a lot of mental illness. Almost exclusively.
Starting point is 00:29:02 Yes, exclusively. Not exclusively, but almost. It's a vast majority. Exclusively, almost exclusively. And I'm so tired of that. And you're dealing with people that have to piss six times a day and take two BMs a day and need to eat and need to throw away whatever. the wrappers, that the burgers came in, and we have zero facilities.
Starting point is 00:29:23 And now what we do have is your yard behind your house. So what you do the math on what this shall become. You know what San Diego's move is? They want to develop these, you know, those mini, mini houses, those many, many things, and put them in people's backyards. They call them sliders. So now you're going to have people with mental illness living in people's backyards. That is going to be a really serious public health problem.
Starting point is 00:29:49 I don't understand why we can't do what we need to do, which is what you always did throughout human history, which is we created environments for people that needed care throughout human history. Well, I mean, until the last 40 years, we decided that. Let's let's really get to the root of the prom, as I've said many times. The real social safety net is not more taxes and low cost facilities. it's the fucking family. Got da-hop. Now listen to me. Everyone does it.
Starting point is 00:30:30 Well, how about the fact? I can hear everyone at the fucking Huffington Post want to go, well, what about family? What about the net? What about that? Our family's already destroyed, Adam. They're already destroyed. Now what?
Starting point is 00:30:43 Listen to me. Listen to me. I agree. That's the long term. fucking brother law, schizophrenic. Does he live on the streets? No. You know where he lives?
Starting point is 00:30:54 He lives at his brother's house on his property on a bedroom and bath that they built above the garage for Dave to live in. Because he does not have the faculties to live on his own. And if he was cast out on the street, would simply be off his meds and be shot by the LAPD. His family. Now, they were not rich. The parents were divorced. They had their own trials and tribulations. But one thing they realized is that they had three kids and one of them had a very serious mental disorder.
Starting point is 00:31:28 And they weren't folks that were able, they did not have means. They did not have, you know, they were working class people, not much money put a, believe you is the guy who bought the casket for dad when he passed away a year ago. There wasn't a lot of money squirled the way. for emergencies. But they realized we have a son who has a pretty grave mental illness and we need to do
Starting point is 00:31:55 what we have to do to keep this guy's head above water. He doesn't have to live lavishly. The guy lived in the crappiest one-bedroom apartment in recita with cockroaches his entire adult life. But Lynette
Starting point is 00:32:10 and the older brother they made sure and the mom to the capacity that she could and the dad to the capacity that he could kept, make sure that Dave was checked up on, looked up after, occasional stipend, there was money given to him, small amounts of money, but enough. If he needed a new refrigerator, they would find out, figure out a way to get him a refrigerator. If his piece of shit, $800 car overheated, they would figure out a way to pay the bill for
Starting point is 00:32:40 the mechanic because it was a family looking after a, family. Now, if Garcetti wants to start talking in those terms, I'm all fucking ears. But when he thinks he's going to go around and reverse engineer this thing and solve it with low-cost housing, no, he is not. There will never be enough facilities to outpace broken, horrible, and abusive families. So if you want to start talking about the message, which is, hey, let's start folks on repairing the family because the reality is, is nobody goes homeless when they have, look, they're very extreme, they're very extreme examples of people who refuse to take their meds and get physical with their elderly mom and storm out.
Starting point is 00:33:26 Okay. But what I'm saying, when you have a sofa to crash on, a garage that can be converted into a bedroom, a family that has enough to feed them and feed you, to look after you, to give you rides to be evaluated and keep make sure you're on your meds and whatever it takes you have that you don't fall through the cracks and end up on the street you end up on the sofa thank you all right i'll tell you guys about uh lewis black ah the rant is due oh speaking of low cost housing and rants yeah on audible man louis black the rant is due it new original comedy series from uh the audible channel and you can hear the latest episode free
