Starting point is 00:00:04 recorded live at Corolla 1 Studios with Adam Carolla and board certified physician and addiction medicine specialist Dr. Drew Pinsky. You're listening to The Adam and Dr. Drew Show. Yeah, get it on. Got to get it on, no choice but we're getting it on mandate. Get it on. Thanks for tuning in. Thanks for telling a friend.
Starting point is 00:00:27 I love that about you, right, Drew? You do, buddy. What's happening, man? Oh, something I forgot. Was I telling you I sent an email to have? Howard Stern? I can't remember if I told you that or not. Well, you told me you called Howard Stern. No, I didn't say I called him. I just said I talked to him. Oh, yes. Probably was ambiguous. Yes, I thought I got the sense that you called him. Well, yes, you did tell me that and that you said that I was a sensitive guy and that he'd hurt my feelings, but that you would take care of it. Yes. Well, I ran into Howard in New York. I saw Howard in New York. He did. And he came out and he was extremely, he was sort of upset.
Starting point is 00:01:02 He was a, he thought, you know, he goes, Corolla calling me. I was like, oh, no, no, don't worry. It's fine. It's fine. So we had a nice exchange, actually. Where were you at? At serious.
Starting point is 00:01:12 Yeah. All right. Well, if he'd stop being such a pus, we could get on with our lives. I didn't realize that I was pushing out so bad. You're a pretty big pus. I'm a pretty big pus, but I didn't realize I, listen, what I told him was. And by the way, thank you for, thank you for complaining. It wasn't the impetus.
Starting point is 00:01:30 It wasn't the impetus. It wasn't. by the way. I wanted just to talk. I wanted just to say hi to Howard, but it struck me as I was doing that. I was hearkening back to you. Yeah, well, thanks. Okay.
Starting point is 00:01:41 So what I said to him was, and you find this very interesting. I said, Howard, you know what? I just realized, as I was thinking about it, because I had just been on the wrap-up show, and I said the following. I said, you know what? I think Howard and I have the same dad. Very similar dude. Oh, really?
Starting point is 00:01:56 This is ultra-Jewish, hardcore. He's really abusive to the male. children. I got financial abuse and stuff. What do you mean financial abuse? We learned some days ago you couldn't get a down, Parker. But is that if he was? No, no.
Starting point is 00:02:13 He would always go, like, from the age of like two. I'm not kidding. I'm not kidding. Because I can remember, I moved out of, we moved from one house in Alhambra when I was two, and I remember these conversations with him where he'd go, you know, like maybe, you know what, it was just after
Starting point is 00:02:29 move. Maybe I was like three or something. Yeah. Because I remember where we were sitting. And he goes, and he goes, oh, no, you need those shoes. We'll get him for you. But when we do, you're going to have to come visit me in the poorhouse. It's all right. It's okay.
Starting point is 00:02:42 It's all right. No, I'll sit behind the window. I'll sit behind the window. You can wave at me. You can wave to me from the poor house. It'll be all right. We'll see each other through the window at the poor house. And this went on for a decade of like every time I needed something.
Starting point is 00:02:55 I would literally wear tattered pants and shoes because he would go through such. You're like Oliver Twist. It was nutty. It was beyond nutty. And it was very abusive. People, I marvel, I marvel at parents and not, you know, son of a sharecropper. But like, our parents were somewhat, you know, your family was very educated. My family was educated enough.
Starting point is 00:03:23 And these kinds of conversations that they would have with eight-year-old kids. Yes. It's insane. It's insane. The only conversations I've really ever had with my kid is, this is awesome. You know, figure out. Do you want to go to Disneyland or Magic Mountain? Well, the only thing I do that might fall under the heading of any kind of advice or whatever is like, hey, man, find out what flips your cookie and then go after it.
Starting point is 00:03:49 No matter what it is, we'll figure out a way to make it work, you know. Somebody gave me a... Which, by the way, you're going to end up with a... I'm sure it'll be disaster. But somebody sent me, made me a picture that's a dream, believe, achieve. And it's just a picture of me looking at a car and racing a car or whatever. And I'll just run in the room. I'll go, I'll go, dream, believe, achieve, yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:14 And I'll, like, run in the next room, you know. Like, I just, I'll just dance and stuff. But I don't get, like, you know, my mom is having real conversations about real issues, you know. And Howard's dad used to call him a moron and shooter, this sort of Frankenstein character. I call him, shoot her, shoot her. And moron all the time. Do you ever hear the video, the audio tape he did with his sister and his dad? Oh, that's the car.
Starting point is 00:04:38 Dream, believe, achieve. There it is. That's all I do is I run in the next room and they all dream, believe, achieve, and I leave the room. Fantastic. I'm a hero. Go ahead. You are a hero. Recording with a sister.
Starting point is 00:04:53 Well, and you could hear the dad being so harsh on Howard, particularly, and Howard was just sort of a screwball kid. And I said, you know, Howard, I really, you could relate to this because we have the same dad. And I was behaving like a little kid going to dad. I was something I was really excited to show him. And you've crushed my spirit. And I thought, and that's so stupid. I was behaving like a little kid. And it was made for great radio.
Starting point is 00:05:16 And so relaxed. It's all fine. Yes. So. Agreed. All right. There's a question. And from Ryan to me because it's George Dekai.
Starting point is 00:05:24 Yeah. Or TK. Sorry. Let's go talk to him. Eddie? 35. right hey hey no hey what's up i'm dr drew how are you guys good man staring hey now what's going on oh not much you know just chilling hey all right so here's my question right now with all the
Starting point is 00:05:40 different people getting accused of you know these sexual allegations and assault now why was when george de kai accused and he simply denied it that everyone just dropped it and it was just a nothing whereas most of these other cases i don't i'm with you to some degree but here's the thing. It's really hard to decide what we quickly move off of and what we make a full course, seven-course meal out of. It's not based necessarily on the severity of the allegation. George Decay is, you know, almost 90 years old. This thing happened a long time ago. Like 30 years ago. Like 25 years ago or something. Oh, not 25 years ago. This could have been 30? 35 years ago. I mean, we're talking about it, like early. He's in his age.
Starting point is 00:06:26 He's in his 80s, and this happened in the 80s. Yes. Oh, he's 80 years old, my apologies. He was well for 80. He does, and this happened when 35 years ago or whatever, number one. Number two. And it was a gay encounter or something that was unwanted. He brought a guy home and the guy passed out and he woke up with his pants down.
Starting point is 00:06:49 So he says, you know, it's kind of the usual. The usual, whatever. He's also not in a position of. hiring or firing or making senatorial decisions or anything. You know, there's not,
Starting point is 00:07:03 that wasn't a, he wasn't what you call an abuse of power. I think, I think this stuff that has to resonate with people and the time we're living in, is an abuse of power. That's the thing that all the pocies have their fucking panties in a bunch of it.
Starting point is 00:07:16 But part of it, though, the abuse of power. So this is not considered an abuse of power. But sometimes they just want to bring people who are in power out of power. So sometimes it's that too. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:25 So he's not. in a position of power, nor was he in a position of power. And to be fair, that takes a lot of the momentum off. Also when it's one person's report and somebody who was intoxicated, might have blacked out, who knows, maybe he was a willing participant, and George
Starting point is 00:07:40 didn't realize I don't intoxicated he was. And by the way, it was 35 years ago, but it's different than when there's physical evidence, right? Like poor Al Franken had a picture, right? Yeah, something. It is different when it's a report than there was evidence. Here's the thing. The first
Starting point is 00:07:56 salvo is good to get the wheels turning. But the car will very quickly coast to a stop and go nowhere if we don't keep pushing it. And what keeps pushing it is other people must keep coming forward. If it's just one and done, it just kind of goes away. Al Franken would have gone away if it was just one and done. And Judge Moore would have gone away. But they incrementally, another one. Another one, that kind of keeps it.
Starting point is 00:08:27 Al Franken had like Asperger's and didn't like know how to function socially and sort of lunged at women. So I thought it was funny. Did you think it was that? Yeah, I don't even think he lunged at women. Oh, he did. He was like screwing around. Right. But he would do it in ways that really were sort of socially in ways that you wouldn't do.
Starting point is 00:08:42 Like he grabbed someone. He wasn't a captain of the football team. He was a comedy writer. You know, I'm sure he was a nerd. Oh, sorry. Drew's getting cold. I put the air on in here. You can shut it off.
Starting point is 00:08:51 Thank you. Yeah. So, yes, no, what Al Franken did was somewhere between nothing and a one and a half. Now, everyone always feels really reluctant about talking that way. But I'm always like, well, look, we have to define everything. Otherwise, we're out. Yeah. We're screwed.
Starting point is 00:09:14 I know. I need to know the difference between murder one and a guy who speeds because they're not both just criminals. But there's no due process in this. This is mob action. This is mob action. All right. So you wanted to talk about tribalism. Well, you're getting into it right now with this conversation, which is that, you know, people are breaking down.
Starting point is 00:09:31 That's my segue. Yeah, they're breaking down into these sort of tribal groups and then behaving like mobs. Some tribes get together, some separate, some fight with each other. It's kind of, it's primitive. And it's all sort of, say this before in the show, it's sort of acting out in the public square, which is social media, where this giant public square where the mobs form and get going. And it's it's I think I told you I predicted this long time ago. I put it, I put a chapter about it in my book on narcissism and they had me take it out because it seemed too far-fetched when I said that, you know, the only period of history that I can find so much childhood trauma and so much narcissism is pre-revolutionary France.
Starting point is 00:10:11 And I said, and that that didn't go so well. The guillotine comes out and then the people that are putting people on the guillotine, then they get guillotined. It just starts eating itself. Yeah. My question to you is, where are we going? Where is this stop? I can't figure it out. Again, looking at history, there's only three things that I see stop stuff like this.
Starting point is 00:10:31 Civil War, common enemy, like North Korea does something. Or you'd behead the king. You jump to the king. Some major leaders, you know, something happens. Yeah. But that's all I know. In history, it's all I've seen, unless this plays out in some way, and I don't know where it's going. I've always just basically distilled it down.
Starting point is 00:10:52 to dogs on a plane. And what stops people from bringing their pets with them on flights is sort of common decency. Like a general awareness of oneself and how you fit into the general social fabric. And then a sort of a golden rule thing, which is, well, would you want to sit next to somebody with their pet on a long flight? If the answer is no, then I bet they wouldn't want to sit. And that was sort of enough to kind of keep everyone in check. You know, just here's what you'd like to do, and here's what you do do. And then it started.
Starting point is 00:11:29 And I immediately started screaming about it every chance I got. And everyone was kind of like, people at the beginning would answer me things like, but they like their pets. You know, it's just like insane things. So that dog certified. He's a seizure alert dog. And it's like lots of nonsense. and then I realized, look, people need to start speaking up because we're not going to be able to, we're not going to be to legislate everything away.
Starting point is 00:12:01 You can't legislate everything. There's too many people. There's not, the laws we haven't thought of, you know. We can't just make a law. You're always to be chasing it. Well, it's, you know, now they're chasing it. Like, you can't bring your dog into the oral surgery center, you know, because of, and it's like, We're insane because we don't realize, here's what we don't realize, Drew.
Starting point is 00:12:25 We don't realize how quickly good people can do bad things when we make it the norm and we leave the door open. Yeah. And we make it easy for them. Yeah. We don't know how, how, it's like thing. And I used to hear it all time. It kind of reminded me of like, well, she's suing the bank because the bank put $100,000 into her, her savings account.
Starting point is 00:12:50 Her savings account only had $100. Then they put $100,000. And she spent $90,000 on potpourri. And now the bank wants their money back and she's suing them. And it's like, how about you give them their money back? Well, they screwed up. They put the money in the, yeah, they did. And you stole it.
Starting point is 00:13:07 And then you stole it. Like it's an insane. So I'm not actually following you. I'm not sure where you're going. No, no, no. No, I'm just saying it's up to us. So do we need to restore? interpersonal decency is what you're saying?
Starting point is 00:13:22 All these people need to go their wives, their husbands, coworkers, what have you? They need to go, where the fuck are you going with your dog? They're going, I'm going to the airport. Why? Because I want to travel to them and go, what's wrong with you? There's something wrong with you. If somebody at home needs to go, what is wrong with you? No.
Starting point is 00:13:43 If Lynette wanted to start traveling with Phil, I would go, no. But you can't do that. And that's a metaphor, I think, you're sorry, for something else. Yes, just in general. Let's look, folks, we need to start policing ourselves. But how does that go down to like the sexual harassment allegations and things like that? Well, the allegations? Well, okay, we need to understand.
Starting point is 00:14:07 The idea that people's lives are being destroyed because of things they may or may not have done, but there's allegations that they did them. Well, okay. You can't have this. You can't have this. here's what I'm saying. You can't have this mentality. Hey, a rich guy just got a parking ticket.
Starting point is 00:14:24 How much should he pay? Who got the parking ticket? Rich guy. I didn't get a parking ticket? No, you didn't get a parking ticket. Oh, what if I got a parking ticket? It'd be $30. But you get to decide what the rich guy paid.
Starting point is 00:14:38 Why don't we charge $3 million? And we could get a new, like a library and a bridge. And you go, but do you think it's, wait, do you think it's fair for him to pay three? Well, he's a rich guy, right? Yeah. Well, hold on. Could I be charged $3 million? No, no. Your 30s. Your max. Oh, yeah. Well, then charge him $3 million. That's how kids think. Like, that's an adolescent thought. That's an insane thought. And you're like, but I want a new library and I want a new bridge. I want a new park. And I want him to pay for it. Yeah, but do you really think $3 million for a parking ticket is the right amount to pay? I'm not paying it. That's, now, I'm not paying. It's a scary thing. So it's like, should this guy lose his job over this? Who's losing their job? Not me. We need to build.
Starting point is 00:15:20 Well, then we can do whatever we want to it. We build community. Is that what you're saying? I, I. The idea, you understand the idea. It's got to start. It has to start with a personal dignity. Yes.
Starting point is 00:15:34 It has to start with the thing of like, you find a wallet. It's filled with cash. You turn it in, not because you hate cash, or you don't like free things or you don't like expensive things. It's because this has nothing to. do with you. This is not your money. It is not your cash. You do what you do. And then you get a certain dignity and you can't put a price on dignity. That's what people, we've sold dignity out a long time ago. And dignity is about the most precious thing you have. And we're not interested. There's no, but it doesn't have a price that goes to it, but it is more valuable than titanium or
Starting point is 00:16:16 platinum and we don't talk about dignity. How come no one talks about dignity? And also, people are not intellectually honest. How many people other than me are basically grabbing a microphone and yelling, whatever Al Franken did, it's barely, it's not even a one, it's a 0.5. It's like, you see these talking heads bloviating on all the talk shows. Look, anytime, anything, a zero tolerance. Zero tolerance is the biggest fucking mistake. we ever made. I never signed off on zero tolerance. We mean zero tolerance. What does that even mean? We have zero tolerance for any kind of workplace, sexual. Oh, zero tolerance, and you get to decide who's crossed the line with zero tolerance. So zero tolerance means off with their head.
Starting point is 00:17:05 Right. And now you get to be the arbitrator of this. Right. You get to decide. With no process. With no process? You don't think that's a scary concept? But by the way, you've labeled yourself a hero because you've announced. Here at Corolla Digital, we have zero tolerance. Fuck you off, by the way. You don't even know what zero tolerance means you sacks a blowhardy shit. Where does this go? Where is this heading? Here's what I think. And maybe I'm all over the road here.
Starting point is 00:17:30 I think the people that don't engage, that are willing to work hard, that are willing to kind of keep their own in the prize and not get sucked into this mess, I feel like they're going to take over the world because the idiots are going to be fighting out the street. That's the way I feel about it. I feel like my kids, all they have to do is not have a horrible attitude and they'll rise to the top. Everyone's such a mess and everyone's such a victim and everyone's so wounded now that all my kids have to do is not feel like victims and not care about their ethnicity. But if they do succeed, they'll be a target. Yeah, they'll weather the storm. The cream rises to the top, Drew. Bet online. Hey, this is Adam Carolla from the Adam Carolla show.

Starting point is 00:19:30 Yeah, good calls coming up here. Starting at the top. Cody 24th, Sacramento. Cody. Hey, what's up, Adam? What's going on, man? So about months ago, I chipped my phone. front tooth and being lazy, I put it off the entire time and just got it fixed today.
Starting point is 00:19:49 So I'm wondering what the longest you put off something you needed to get done was. Like the longest intervals between dentist visits? Well, that could be it, but I mean, like something that is something you need to take care of that you haven't taken care of. I didn't have car insurance for years when I was poor. I didn't file tax returns for a long time when I was poor. I didn't go to the dentist for probably like seven or eight years when I was poor, and I never flossed either.
Starting point is 00:20:21 So all the above, like all the basic stuff. And now I got to get my prostate exam because I'm into that. How about colonoscopy? I mean, my colonoscopy or whatever it is. Drew's got to set it up. Set it up, Drew. Do it yourself, man. I want a familiar, gentle top.
Starting point is 00:20:39 touch. I want a slow hand. You know what I mean? Yes. A slow. Okay. I want to love her with a gentle touch. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:20:51 So there, there you go. Colonoscopy, right? Yeah. And PSA and Digital Rectal exam. That's true. They'll do the DRE at the colonoscopy. They'll feed a prostate there. While I'm asleep?
Starting point is 00:21:02 Yeah. Oh, I like that. You do a blood test, too. Two birds with one finger. All right. So there you go, Cody. All right. Thanks, Adam. Thank you. Let's talk to Missy, 32, Austin.
Starting point is 00:21:15 Hi, everyone. What's going on? Well, I have a question for you guys. So I lost my job like five years ago. I got fired for, and I knew you're going to hate this, for doing the right thing for the client. I was working in banking in, like, credit risk management. And so when I lost my job, I was like 26. I think. And so I took an internship out of like a mutual fund company, and I really just wanted to, like, learn about the industry. So I took this internship thinking that I would only say for maybe a year. And then they said that they would pay for me to go to school. So I kind of got roped in. And so I ended up working there as an intern, basically, for five years. Whoops. And so now I'm old. And, um, I'm old. And, um,
Starting point is 00:22:08 I am trying to find a new job. And every job I go into, they're like my, I'm trying to get into, like, entry-level accounting jobs just because I'm looking for something that's not stressful. I go into interviews, and people tell me all the time, like, you belong in risk management or you belong in project management and, like, all these other things that I have no interest in doing. And I cannot get, like, a basic job. So my interest...
Starting point is 00:22:38 Wait, hold a second. I'm getting very confused. So are they telling you you're overqualified? I think that that's what they are... Okay, hold on. And what was the original problem with the bank? What exactly happened? So it's a really long story, but basically there was a transaction that I needed to get an approval on from someone that had the proper authority.
Starting point is 00:23:05 So I contacted the most senior level person in the company, which is well within like the scope of my job. I called him at home. It was like I basically had two minutes to get a decision and send the transaction out the door. So I didn't have time to call my boss at home and tell her what was going on. So I contacted the person I knew that could approve the transaction and we could get out the door. It was for our largest client. So I got his approval and I sent it. and my boss was angry that I didn't call her at home, which I had never in my entire four years of doing this job.
Starting point is 00:23:41 So it's sort of, did the transaction go bad? The thing is that somebody else dropped the ball, so I was kind of just trying to scramble and clean up someone else's mess. I don't, I can't remember if the transaction actually went through or not because it was, there was a really short period of time to get it done. Forget about all, hold on a second, all the stuff, all the fucking paperwork and everything. It's like we're living in a nutty society. Oh, you don't even know. Oh, I do know because I buy like commercial property and stuff. And it's like, we need to have the certified.
Starting point is 00:24:22 I have my assistant Matt sign almost everything. Almost every single thing I sign. He signs. I just tell everyone, almost everyone, I just tell everyone sign everything for, me all the time. I sign as much stuff as I can. And then what I'm going to do, my big goal, is to get one of my guys as a, as a, what is it, certified, not a, a, notary. Notary. Yeah, notary public. I'm going to get somebody certified as a notary public and then I'm really in. Because now I'm really just telling, I'll tell Chris, go watch Fondalee while he signed shit and then
Starting point is 00:25:01 notarize it. And then people can go, What about his jobs? Like, I used to teach comedy traffic school. I had the same stuff, and I didn't care. You didn't care. You don't realize. The man is just going insane. You're an idiot if you just dance.
Starting point is 00:25:15 You just go. Everyone who's listening, get everyone to sign everything. You'll never see it. You're true. Is anyone ever pulled out a deed or a contract and went, hmm, let's go over this from nine years ago and see if this is your actual signature or not. It's neither here and over there. I've had a million times in medical records. A million times.
Starting point is 00:25:33 They pull it out? They pull it out and go, Dr. Penske, this is your signature here? Did you write this prescription? Oh, yeah. But still, if someone else signed it, you wouldn't give a shit. I mean, if you gave the, my thing is like, I'm not saying I want someone to embezzle for me. Yeah. My thing is Matt's on the phone with me and he's going, you need to sign this release for blah, blah, blah, and I go, sign it.
Starting point is 00:25:53 Meaning, that is me signing it. It's my consent for you to forge my signature. I completely agree with that as long as they ask you. But you should get the electronic apps. You can just push a button. signs it. That's it. You get your actual signature on that. We do as much of that as we can, but they have to get the notary, and then it's like, your wife has to be present. It's like, oh, Jesus, God damn Christ. Drives me insane.
Starting point is 00:26:14 Yes. So, so you now have been taken advantage of, which I don't understand how that happened. Well, I wasn't really taking advantage of it. Hold on a second. Why would the boss man fire you for doing something that seemed pretty procedural? girl. She stepped outside of probably the chain of command, and that can be probably... Well, no, I can be problematic if you don't like somebody. Yeah. Or they're not hot. But it can't be, it won't be a problem if you're hot and or... You didn't step out of the chain of command?
Starting point is 00:26:47 No, my boss would never have been able to approve the transaction. She had zero authority. I understand. Why is your boss looking for an excuse? Because I feel like, for me in general, I look for excuses not to let people go or whatever, but eventually. Eventually, they just keep pushing and then you just got to let them go because they're idiots. But for the most part, bosses don't want to fire people, especially people that are in earnest trying to do their job. So why would the boss man, woman go out of the way? So my only, like the only thing that I could think of was she didn't hire me, someone else did. And my old boss got fired for being terrible.
Starting point is 00:27:27 And this new lady took over and I was the only person in my department that didn't have a degree. and so I and that was like a huge thing for her and so I when somebody's just showing up and working and getting the job done I mean I feel like I've dealt with this a lot in a lot of different environments what's like you know when people go well she didn't I didn't have a degree and that bothered her or whatever it is and it's like I don't know she bothered when you're showing up and doing a good job every day like what goes on I mean I I I don't know
Starting point is 00:28:03 I get what you're saying. And to be honest with you, Adam, I asked my coworkers, like, after I left, they were like, we asked what you did wrong so that we could avoid doing the same thing, and they had no answer for us. So they couldn't even tell. Well, this is worse then. This is just your boss really wanting to get rid of you. Yeah, exactly. Okay.
Starting point is 00:28:24 Don't be proud. Don't brag about that. All right. So now you've taken advantage of it. Did you get to go to school during those five years of the quote internship? Yeah. Yeah. Okay, so you got to go to school.
Starting point is 00:28:33 The thing is they also gave me the opportunity to have another job. So I worked full time at another company like seasonally at a large corporation doing something that I really wanted to do and to gain experience. And I really want to continue doing that. Which is what? Which is what? I was working in like human resources and like payroll, which is kind of in the realm of accounting. So it fit well with going to school, right? And so...
Starting point is 00:29:02 What's going on, Missy? You got a man? No. Why no man? I don't have time for that. No time for that. There's something going on. What's going on, Missy?
Starting point is 00:29:14 I really, I mean, that whole, like, job situation was really terrible. My bosses were really abusive. I don't want to work in banking anymore at all. And every time I go into interviews, they're just, like, pushing me back in that direction. and even like my internship, the positions that they were offering me, the full-time positions they were offering me. All right. We're not going to be able to sort this out other than you're 32 years old and you don't seem to have any kind of handle on your life. It's just a lot of people doing things to you.
Starting point is 00:29:48 So let's get a handle, baby. Do you take care of yourself physically? I worry that you're sort of not paying attention to yourself physically. I mean, I've been like just in this weird place for like two years. So it's frustrating. So, I mean, I don't know. Do you work out? Do you take care of yourself?
Starting point is 00:30:10 Not really. Yeah. I feel like you need to just take care of yourself. Unfortunately, I don't have time to do that. So, listen, everyone has time to do everything. Look, Missy, there's something going on. Look, I'm going to, I'm going to sum this up. For some reason, you're breaking my heart.
Starting point is 00:30:30 Breaking Drew's heart. It's really frustrating. Yeah, I know, but it's not that. Look, listen to me. I know everything. There's something going on with you. You're 32-year-old who's very confused by life, and you're letting things happen to you constantly
Starting point is 00:30:49 that you should be more proactive about. And it's not this person fired me for no reason, this person hates me, or this person took advantage of me. It sounds like there's a bunch of problems. issues. I don't have time to work out. I don't have time to have time. You're unemployed, for Christ's sake. You got all the time in the world. It's like it's an all day thing. Missy, it's not an all day thing. Being unemployed is not an all day affair that doesn't let you get out and jog a couple of miles in the afternoon. You need to wrestle your life back. Okay? Stop externalizing everything. Stop talking about the bosses and the person that screwed me over and you got fired for no reason. As a matter of fact, you did the right thing. And as a matter of fact, you did the right thing. And all you did was get fired.
Starting point is 00:31:31 And stop pushing. Everything's out there. You take it in and then you control it. Because you can't control it. People make the biggest, it's driving me nuts, bro. Everyone does. Hey, the guy, he didn't. But nobody told me.
Starting point is 00:31:46 But I've always left out of the loop. But no one talks to me about stuff. And then I get blamed. And it's like, okay, do you not want to control your life? Jesus, goddamn Christ, internalize. And then you can control. I know no one wants to internalize because they don't want to go, I made a mistake and it's not going to happen again.
Starting point is 00:32:04 What they want to do is, I wasn't told. I was left. I mean people give me excuse like, I'm left out of the loop. It's like, what does that even mean? What do you mean left out? Why don't you get in the loop? Why don't you ask a question? No one tells me, shut up and get involved.
Starting point is 00:32:18 Stop pushing. God damn. It's driving me nuts. You use dude all the time. Everyone. You say dude. Dude, everyone does it when they're nine, but then you knock it off. So she needs, Missy needs to internalize and control.
Starting point is 00:32:32 She needs friends and people around her. She needs friends. She needs a boyfriend. She needs a treadmill. She's got to give away cat. She's got to get, she's got to get her own house in order. Stop making it about career. Okay.
