The Adam and Dr. Drew Show - Classic #646: That’s Why I Have A Microphone

Episode Date: November 27, 2025

August 15, 2017 - Adam and Drew open the show discussing how journalists are somewhat shirking their responsibilities when it comes to a fair and balanced reporting of the news given the vast broadcasting power they have been given. For instance, how much time was given to the news last week that Lena Dunham overheard some airline employees talking about transgender people, as opposed to the limited amount of coverage given to the revelation that North Korea has miniaturized their nuclear weapons into a form that fits onto an ICBM. They also discuss the ‘best diet article Drew has ever read’ and take some listener phone calls.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In the next throwback episode, 646, that's why I have a microphone. It was recorded originally August 15, 2017. Me and Drew discuss how journalists shirk the responsibilities when it comes to a fair and balanced piece of reporting. For instance, how much time was given to the news that Lena Dunham overheard some airline employee talking about transgender people? Yes, too much. Also, we discussed the best diet article Drew has ever read and take some listener phone calls. So enjoy.

Hey, all right. You know, I was laughing last week, a week or so ago, when Trump was on vacation, and there was the day when Schneid O'Connor put out her video and stuff, and I was like,

really? That's getting news. She put out a video? She put a video about her misery and her bipolar disorder. It was good. It was nice. It was just a sort of... What was nice?

Well, the point I'm making is not about Shnade O'Connor. I'm just saying... Well, no, I didn't know. You said she was miserable with her bipolar disorder, and then he said it was good. It was nice. It was nice. It was nice, because she was. she was crying, and she said, in fight her how miserable I am, there are people out there

were not as much resources, and I could just imagine the misery therein. And she just, she'd put a, shine to the light on a couple of issues that I thought was kind of nice. So, but that, that was neither here or there where it got my attention was it, oh, my God, it's making news. And people were like, oh, it's a slow news day, slow news day, slow news day. You know, and I looked around that the only thing that was slow was that people weren't, their heads weren't spinning and their hair were down fire because Trump was on vacation.

And there were fucking nuclear warheads being loaded onto missiles and pointed towards us. And people are like, slow news day. Slow news day. You know, Mr. Trump's, because it's become, if they can't make a goddamn Mishigas out of something Trump's doing or saying, it's a slow news day. Even when nuclear weapons are being discussed, it was the most extraordinary realization for me. It was really like, wow, what have we become? I've never experienced this type of. Am I off base?

with this? No. Slow news day. North Korea pointing missiles at us. Well, slow news day. What are you going to do? Well, here's the deal. Uh-oh. What's going to happen? No. What have I? No, I'm thinking this out. No, no, no bubble. No, what I'm thinking is this. And then get your diet tip ready.

I will. I will. People, you know, you can say we're just giving the people what the people want. The people get us ratings and we give them the stories that the people want. But we used to run into that with Loveline a lot. And they'd say to me, hey, your young Orange County snowboarding crew doesn't want to hear about you flying first class the letterman or whatever. And I'd go, I'm not here to give them what their friends give them or what their cohorts give them or their snowboarding buddies give them. I'm me. I'm going to give them something else, and I'm going to help them get out of where

they're at. Like, what it is is, I don't want more snowboard talk. I want me to tell them what I think. I want to help them. I want to make them laugh. I want to make them think. And I'm not interested in joining them. Right. That's why I have a microphone. Well, and I would argue that's why I have a microphone. They don't need me for another one of them. You know what I mean? That's just another one of them. So this thing of like, well, look, the reason we cover Trump's because we get ratings with Trump, I get that. But on the other hand, you're the adult with the microphone. Not just adult microphone. You make claims of journalistic integrity in a higher order, higher task. That's something else. Then you have no business saying anything about that

anymore. Just drop it. Well, also, though, when they're... And by the way, I want to apologize for consuming that crap. We should apologize. You know, the consumer should apologize for consuming it. When they're talking ad nauseum about stuff, and by the way, most of this stuff just falls into these little nicks and knacks that I don't even fully understand. Can you remember what three days ago they were freaking out about? I can't even remember. But like, it's going on for months. Trump said he gave the most excellent Boy Scout speech ever. We got the Boy Scout of America, president on the phone. He denies that he ever told Trump that that was a great speech. And it's like, this is not news.

I know you hate Trump. Yeah, yeah. And maybe the Boy Scouts, but this still doesn't fall under the heading of news. It falls under the heading of this guy's acting unpresidential, which I think we've established. We got that. We have that part. So now that we have that part, let's get back to the news. And he's basically doing a bunch of things that would be one and a halfs or twos.

Like I don't even know what it is when he said this. or he announced that he announced that he'd given the best speech ever, the person that was there said it wasn't the best speech ever, and they never told him it was the best speech ever, neither here nor there to any adult who isn't completely tumetized by a bad story about Trump. Some Nemi-I-I-S-E-L-A-S. Well, that's sleepwalk.

You made too-Messence. You mean made hard. Made too-Mess-Met-Hise. Made hard. Too-Mesit-T-A-T-T-Met-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-X. But here's the deal. Could it stand out in bold relief any more powerfully than when the actual news is about nuclear war and we're not talking about it? Right.

And so that to me is like, oh, shit. We are in a strange zone right now. Right. And we are now. The difference is obviously when you're dealing with Russia and you're dealing with neutrally or mutually. A sure destruction. A wave of destruction. You got cards because if somebody says, I got one of yours kidnapped.

And I'm going to strangle them. And you go, oh, really? Because I got one of yours kidnapped. And I'm going to strangle him. And they go, you do? Put him on the phone. Oh, Yuri's on the phone? Oh, boy.

Hold on. Okay. How do you want to negotiate here? But if you say to the guy, you got one of ours? You're going to strangle them? Well, we have 10 of your prisoners and we're going to strangle them all. And they go ahead. now we got a problem

because we used to have a little something called leverage which is oh really you're going to kill us you're going to die too if the answer is who cares now there's a little bit of a situation that makes me

much more nervous than the part that wants to live so that is a story it would be nice to hear something about it and I have not heard anything about it they have now 30 nuclear

weapons that have been miniaturized and put on warheads. They now are telling us that. And I made a couple minutes on CNN. Yeah, but Lena Dunham caught some people from Pan Am talking shit about transvestites. I mean, she overheard them. Don't you think that takes precedent, Drew? Oh, yeah. That's way bigger story.

I love it when they talk to the people. They're like, I'm a lawyer. And here's why Lena Dunham is right. those people are not allowed to have those people are in public having a conversation and like you're having a private conversation in public like you ever go to a restaurant sit at a booth and talk to somebody that's not for many many a discussion has taken place in a restaurant booth that was not meant for public discussion so that's a public place but you're doing it in a booth like they're not allowed to have feelings. And then the bigger, better part is people need to be. The funny thing is, is they don't need to be, they don't need to be punished. They need to be reconditioned. How would we do that?

How do we go about that? Reconditioning camps? Those are what, do you see that Apple computer commercial from the 80s? These are like gulags. No, I hear people saying, no, no, no, I'm not, they shouldn't have to lose their job. they need to be taught that you don't do it's like really you're hearing yourself this is 1984 right you need to be they need to be taught they need by the way they're 40 something years old who's going to teach them what man it's scary yeah all right so uh so before i talk about that

let me talk about blue apron oh good perfect perfect little circuit there i had blue apron last night. Last night. What you have? I had, we had two things. We had a salmon dish, and then we had this sort of breaded chicken really good. I thought you weren't eating, dude. At night I eat.

And sort of a kus-cusy thing. I don't know what they have fancy ways of discovery. Let me see. Basil Pesto chicken with summer vegetable pen, that's it. Panzanella. I had that. I had that. Saute shrimp and green beans.

That is blue apron.com slash a D-S. Blue Apron, a better way to cook.

So this article, let me give people the link to it. Of course, I'm not ready with that. Where'd you find the article? You can go to physiqueomics. That's P-H-Y-S-I-C-O-N-M-I-C-S dot com slash fat-dash-lase. Yeah, physiqueanomics, right? Physique-anomics. And it's just a, it's sort of a cartoony, no-nonset, I mean, it's comprehensive conversation.

You're looking at it, Gary? And it's, you know, it gets into intermittent fasting and why it works and stuff, too, as along with many other diets. And here's his bottom line in this thing. I'll say, guess what? All diets work. All diets work. If you bring in less calories. That's it.

Move, more, take in less, you will lose weight. Period. End of story. What is there something in it that struck you or that would be good to know or that our listeners could take with? They're addressing, you know, sort of the Vinny stuff about fat. So he gets real about fat. He sort of addresses every BS thing that's out there. And then talks about supplements and how you don't need the vast majority of them.

And then he talks about supplements that do have some value like vitamin D and bulk agents. and creatine has some performance enhancement effect for some people. He's just every single thing. He's just encyclopedic and simplistic in going at this. He just answers it matter-factly without making claims to physiology or toxins or necessarily telling us what the pathways are whereby it works because we really don't. It's almost impossible to parse that shit out. Nick's sister's an animal nurse, so why is what you say?

She does the coffee stuff. Teenage henema nurse? No. She's adult. She's adult. I see. Yeah. So if you remember we had Kate Shanahan in here, the Laker doctor, and she's a biochemist, and she said, no, no, diet's way too complex for me to say anything meaningful.

But I could say something about the heating of canola oil. Right. That's not good for you. And she, so, you know, when people really know their stuff, they say very limited, very discreet, very specific things and know that everything else too complicated to be able to make meaningful conclusions. I've got to say from what I have heard in the last year or something. so all roads lead to the high fat and the low carb the simplicity the first off if there's too much about it like you you eat a whole pineapple in the morning and then another pineapple that that evening like all this stuff super simple it's don't drink your carbs so watch out

and now watch out for all the vita this and gatorade that i have people I have people all the time, Gary, you've got to find the picture I took of the other fridge with all my coffee additives in it. It's like I have Rob at the other shop, you know, and I just go. Oh, no. I just go. Horchata. Just, I go, stop drinking all this shit.

And he goes, I don't, I don't, you know, I don't, you know, I said to him the other day. Is that a horchata coffee additive? Oh, my God. All right, hold on. We'll tell you what's in the picture in a second. But I will say, I'll tell you this the other day, two days ago at my house. I said, Rob, so here's my lot in life. My family likes to order $7 smoothies and then take one draw off it and then they set it on the counter.

It's just sweats for a while. Now, I know it's $7 worth of fresh papaya and everything else. And so I put it in the fridge. But because they've had their one draw, and they literally will say it, like, I'll go, why would you order this? Why would you order this if you don't want it? They go, I wanted a sip. Oh, my God. It's the ugliest of all-American quality.

it sits in the fridge. Now, I paid $7 for it, and I've never thrown away a smoothie in my life, but they think it's a health smoothie. What you people don't realize that I've finally learned from Vinny, and I knew it a while ago with, like, orange juice. You think, oh, we're getting a big glass of orange juice

for breakfast. You're being healthy. Well, nobody's known that in the past. So here's where we're at. You would never let your 10-year-old order a glass of root beer for breakfast at a diner in the morning. But you would encourage them to order a glass of orange juice and drink at all. That's all we need to know.

Your liver doesn't know the difference. It's all just a ton of sugar one way or the other. But for my entire life and adult life, I thought, well, you'd never have a cream soda or a root beer or something for breakfast. But this big glass of orange, you should do in your body good. that's what you need. You need your body needs it. It needs the energy. It needs the vitamins.

Okay, that's all I ever knew. I did not know that that was not good. And most people that order banana, papaya, pineapple, smoothies, they think they're doing something good for their body. Now, all you need to know is, is one simple question. Does it taste really good? If the answer is yes, then it's not good for you. If you'd like to sample the mulch that Olga makes me with all. the grass and the weeds and the whole this and that that looks like green sludge it just

tastes like pure ass then you'll know which one is good for you and which one is not good for you it never breaks down more than what you put in that blender if it just tastes bad it's good for you so for the most part now the the thing is sitting in my fridge yeah and i'm explaining to rob you have to drink this because i'm not going to drink it no one else can drink it but i'm not going to throw it away. And then I pause and I say, but you do know these health drink smoothies that are with the banana and the pineapples and everything, it's just pure sugar. And you may as well just drink a soda because it's no different to your body. He says, believe me, I know, I don't drink that shit. But then I come back to the fridge five minutes later and he's got the fun-sized

jug of Gatorade, which he keeps everywhere all day. These guys don't know that them chugging Gatorade and them chunking Bidot water. They don't. get it. They feel like they're doing, they're working, they're healthy. Just look at the calorie contents. All you got to do. All right. So the other fridge, in the fridge, is two things of powdered coffee mate that is hazelnut, then the vanilla delight, then more hazelnut, another brand of hazelnut, than another brand of hazelnut. It's a chocolate.

Delight. And then a horchata flare. And I've said to these guys one million times, here's my statement on this. I do not know if this shit makes you stupid, but I do not know a smart person that uses it. So would you like to take your chances? Be my guest. Please understand that there's no smart person I've ever came across. Just take a big spoonful of sugar and stick it in there. Just do that.

And try and put a little white paint in a wire hat. I have learned that all these guys have a thing of coffee in the morning with real cream and or some coconut, whatever. That's good. Floating around. No, no, not all these guys. Oh, yeah. Not my guys have a donut with a chiro through it. They call it cock and balls.

No. My guys. But no one's fat. They're all working. But here's me point. All the nutritional guys that's spoken to where you go, what's for breakfast? They go, a cup of coffee, a bunch of cream, big dab of butter or coconut oil in there. I go, that's breakfast?

They go, oh, a couple of eggs, if you want. if you want. Yeah, that's it. That's it. You have to remove the yoke? No, no, no. And then what's for lunch? A piece of fish and a bunch of vegetables. Or maybe a salad, a piece of fish. Yeah, but don't use the salad dressing from the shelf. See, my problem is with that is that I'll be, now I'm on, now I'm on. I'd rather just skip. And by the way, what's for dinner? The steak, more vegetables or salad. People have fear. My patients are afraid of being hungry, which I find bizarre. What's that mean? I don't know. I particularly dealing with people the generation ahead of of ours. I would go, well, here's what you're going to need to do. You've got to lose weight.

And they're like, but I'm going to be, I'll be hungry. I'm like, yeah, that's your body telling you it's losing weight. Right. What do I do with the urges? It's like, don't eat. It's like, in a panic over it, it's the strangest thing. Like, wow, yes, you're going to be hungry, a lot. I got to tell you. That's what the human condition is supposed to be. I got to tell you this, for any young person listening, if you can master yourself, if you You can basically sort of keep going when other people are quitting. You're going to have a great career because other people are quitting right next to the starting line. You used to have to keep going and outrun them and outwork them and stuff.

Now everyone's just fucking pulling up a full inch chair and going, I'm gas, where my Cheetos. Like everyone is so soft and so lazy, but I honestly mean this, which is you used to have a crazy, oh, this guy's got a motor and a tenacity. He never says dying. He never says quit. you don't need that anymore. Everyone else has fallen off so fast that if you can endure hunger for a few hours, you will set yourself apart from the general population, right? Yeah, it seems like it.

All right. So that article, people can go look it up. Yeah, it just, it's very common sense, addresses everything. Like I said, it's encyclopedic in these issues. And it just, I just thought it was good. Really one of the best, most common sense articles I have read on the topic. and there's a believe it, there's lots of BS out there. Lots.

I heard some interesting data for those of us who love a little rice with their meal. If you cook it with a teaspoon of coconut oil, it helps. Also, then refrigerate it for 12 hours and then use it. Just don't eat much of it. Well, there's that too. All right, let's hop to the top. Let's see. Well, mornings can be a scramble, juggling all, I mean, my goodness,

so much goes on in the mornings, but you could consider, in supposed to trying to find exactly the right nutrition, a daily scoop of AG1. It could change the game. It's not just another powder. AG1 is a daily micro-habit that supports whole body health in all in one scoop, especially now with travel, shorter days. AG1's antioxidants, probiotics, and functional mushrooms can help keep you steady.

Holiday sweets can wreck things. Sugar is the enemy. But AG1 fills the gaps with a. full spectrum of micronutrients from whole foods. They've even added their nighttime formula, AGZ, to the routine. God, my son loves all the AG1 products. He raves about them. AGZ could be a game changer for recovery.

This is not about treating and curing. It's about optimizing and being ready and feeling your best every day, right, Daphne?

All the thrills, all for free. There's Frank 44 Hawthorne. Oh, that's a beautiful country out there. Hey, hey, it's Drew. I just had a question I wanted to throw out there to you guys. I work for a small company, it's like about 20, 25 people maybe, and we just got bought out by a huge global corporation. And I'm really having reserves.

reserves. I don't know if I want to keep working for this new corporation. I'm like, you know, I'm kind of a small town's, you know, small company guy. I don't know about this corporation. What do you think, A, should I? Because you feel bad about the management or the way this corporation produces other products? What is it you're uncomfortable? I'm not, yeah, I'm not down with big anything in front of it making it bad. We do this thing where it's like, hey, big this and big that. They're many of big companies, it would be fantastic to work for. Okay, man. I just, for me, I don't like corporate management structure.

And like, you know, the way I am now, the owner of the company, I can go knock on the door and say, hey, boss, you know, I have this problem or that problem, and he'll sit down and talk to me. And corporate, you know, it's like, hey, go talk to the human resources, and they put it in a file and it's just gone. Well, we don't know that that's the way they managed. though, they may have a different way of doing that. They may be hands off with your company.

Who knows? Yeah, yeah, no, you're right. I don't know exactly. I wouldn't, see, I personally wouldn't make a decision to see what it's like. Yeah, not based on a discomfort that's down the road, but one that's experienced. But now, it's a discomfort, though, that's sort of imaginary. I mean, we don't really know any idea what they're doing. They may put him in charge of things.

You know what I mean? He may love to him. They may let him create the culture he wants. Who knows? This is, he has some idea in his head about certain kinds of businesses. It may or may not be the one that he's dealing with. I would hang in for sure. I would too.

And I don't, the part where it's like, I don't want to be managed or I don't want this or I don't want that. Who knows what it is? And then secondly, I know that stuff like sounds, sounds good when you say it, but I don't even really know what it means. I mean, I've, I get it. I get versions of it, but I've worked for big companies before. I've worked for non-companies. I've worked for myself. Like, I've worked for everything in between. They're all a little bit different. They have their own set of rules or guidelines. There's advantages to many and disadvantages to others. And I don't say that one is inherently so much, I know we do this thing or it's like, I've got to be free, man.

Well, he's saying, he's saying I'm sympathetic to it. He doesn't like bureaucracy. And I'm very sympathetic to that. You want a human relation with your management team, and you may get that. Who knows? We'll see. Yeah. The only way, only if it's the government that put it out, is it going to be a mess? Nick, you know, if you have anything to say, my door's always open, except for I don't have an office. So there's no place to go, man. Mm-hmm. Nor door. Ingenious. I'm going to make myself an office. Just a door. I made myself an office, true. Oh, yeah. It's good looking. It's a good-looking office. Where is it? I framed it out. I a metal stud, did a little T.I.

Work, a little tenant brewing work. It's in the other warehouse. Nice. Got a corner office. No door, though. It's got a door. I just haven't moved in yet. Door's always open.

Just leave it off. You just need an AC duct in there. I got to get some AC going in there. It's getting a little hot. I don't even discourage people from coming in. Yeah, sweat my ass off over there. Hey, man. Speaking of the corner office, you want to save some money and end up in the corner office?

How about true car, man? Mm-hmm. over 700,000 pre-owned vehicles from over 13,000 true car certified dealers nationwide. So you're thinking about new, you're thinking about use. You want to get those upfront prices, discounts off of list price, a better buying experience, might I suggest, true car? You see what others paid for the car you want, you get the fair price, you connect with a local certified dealer, you enjoy a quick and easy buying experience.

Why would you do anything else? Our own Chris Max Panna used it to get his Prius. I think it had 200 miles on it. Probably got a few savings because it was technically used. But hell, that is new, man. So if you want to buy a car and you want to buy a new car or you want to buy used car, you'd be a fool to go anywhere but true car. All right, Drew, let's see.

We'll go down the line. What do you want? It would be line five. Line five. Ernesto, 39, Gilroy, California. Peace man, Dr. Drew. I know. I've talked to you guys. Going on, man.

So I have a 19-year-old daughter, second year in college, and over the last month or so, has been demonstrating, like, just some anxiety. And so just recently, we came back from Hawaii, and she was starting to cry when there was airline turbulence. And also, we were on the freeway, and she just starts to freak out a little bit when she sees a lot of traffic. Now, this has all been happening only, I'd say, within the last month or so. And before that, she's always a very good flyer. I mean, drives up and down California with no problem, but just as of late has been getting kind of this anxiety.

And I'm afraid that is it going to turn into kind of a full-on panic attack? And, you know, should I send her to go to speak to something? You know, or there's from underlined, maybe depression. 18 to 20, right, all great questions. 18 to 22 is when this stuff comes on. Mine came on at 19, you know, just sort of peak age for this anxiety stuff. Well, you're on the eve of destruction, man. You'd be a fool not to panic.

And it's true. I think it was hanging over my head at the time. But she's away at school? Yes, she's away at school, but she's here in California. So she's only, you know, a two-hour drive from home. Right. But she should go to the school's mental health. system. They have dedicated practitioners specifically interested in this age group, specifically

designed and trained to help the people, you know, that student body, I mean, go to the student health services and get appointment with mental health services. That's by all means what she should do, and it's free. And it's the last time she will have age trained, age-specific, free health care for people, you know, dedicated to her and her community. What school she got to? she goes to um she's at davis i knew it well i know that no yeah they'll be great resources there hold on are they the aggies are they the oh broncos jesus i used to get their newspaper i mean they don't get their news they sent me their what's the name of their team it is the it's look at it up broncos

I had no idea where Willamette University was or Lewis and Clark or any of these places like it's in Portland or it's outside of Portland. Yeah, but there's places named after, you know, Willamette and you see Santa Barbara, you see San Francisco.
