And I'm doing the Grammy pre-show thing. Oh, hold on, nominated for Grammy. Now, I know you get nominated for Tony's, but tell us about the Grammy. Well, here's really what happened,

is Porky and Beth got nominated for the best Broadway soundtrack. People started texting me, they're like, congratulations. I'm like, congratulations for what? It's not like me, it's like 900 people. And my man- you have a solo in that second act of course I have two or three but the point is that one my manager goes no there's been a change to the rules you know because it's starring me Audra Norm Lewis if a Grammy's awarded we actually get Grammy Awards so yes you were nominated. So the week later, Dinglings, please welcome Grammy nominated. So you do now you do do a show Sunday night in Carolines, right? Oh, you're just doing Friday, Saturday. Oh, you got to come back for the Grammys. Right. Normally,

the schedule is one Thursday, two Friday, two Saturday Saturday and then one Sunday. You know what happened at the Sunday show? Pussy time! So you got nominated and now you're back and going to the Grammys. Yes sir. Excited. I get a thing from my book publisher Random House every once in a while or so far twice and says you know we need to do something with this Grammy nomination for audiobook. Like, you know, we got to spearhead something. It's this weird thing where, I don't know if you've experienced this with publishers, but they go- Do they have a Grammy nomination for best audiobook?

That's crazy. Yeah, they do. They do. Well, I don't know. It's like spoken word or something like that. Did you get nominated? No, I didn't because they tell me you got to spearhead the movement. And I'm like, so you didn't get nominated? What do I know?

What does that mean? You didn't get nominated? No, they gave it to like Betty White or something. So you're not in my category. Oh, team up with Audrey, you'll be nominated. Well, I just wondered. Yeah, who? Let's figure this out. Let's see if we can figure out who got nominated for, you know, spoken word or audio, whatever. I'd like to know that. They just have books. It's not really, I don't think it's based necessarily on who the best is or who the funniest is. It's just like who had the initiative and who launched the campaign. Yeah. Did they? Yeah, I don't know how it works actually. Well, think of it like this.

I mean, how many Grammys did the Beatles get? I don't think how it works actually well think of it like this. I mean how many Grammys did the Beatles get? I don't think they got hardly any on the Beatles of books Yeah, it has nothing to do with sales or anything the it Janice Ian Ellen DeGeneres, yeah see Ellen DeGeneres has people that do this Rachel Maddow No, I think you're wrong Adam It has nothing to do with how many little ebooks you sell it has to do with the quality of your work Janice Ian, what is her book I was kind of ugly when I was 17 and no one wanted to fuck me

I thought Janice Ian died by the way oh Michelle Obama Bill Clinton right so they get this eclectic mix in there and Ellen Ellen degenerates by the way She was persecuted for being gay right. It's really imagine. She was unemployed for six months imagine if she was a man and Straight how rich she'd be today. I mean right now. She's scraping by I know but she's getting by But imagine if she was imagine if she had a penis Imagine a penis and didn't want to suck it. You know what I'm saying? How rich would she be? How big would she be right now? She's struggling if she was a dude. Let's just be honest

How would that be guys in in her defense her talk shows only been on how many years? 13 yeah, we hold women. Oh, yeah, we hold women and lesbians down in our society. See, my argument is always it's just the opposite. If she was just a dude and she was straight, I don't think we know who she was. Why? I know one thing right now is you can't get out the closet fast enough. People are lining up. Right.

They're heroes. She's a hero. Yeah, you're right. She was out of work for a whole six months. She was. That's right. All right. But imagine if she was a dude and had a penis and didn't want to blow it. Well, she'd have a podcast. That's right. A whole network. That's what would be going on. Or she'd be doing them fake ass rehab shows like Dr. Drew. So Janice Ian Society's Child is the winner or it's just the last one you guys are leaving on the screen Oh, I think Gary left that because you were asking what book it was. Oh, okay

Wasn't that that was her memoir or something? Mm-hmm. All right, so I didn't like it Drew do you get this when you write books like your publisher does they hey? You've got to go get this and you got to find that person and you got a no My my my publishers always like do you know you know when they do the forward thing or that news that can you ask on a setback farm can you ask david alan greer can you add a circus here but can you just act

can get all these guys always like can you go out and i was sick to myself like at a certain point i go i could do all that but what do we what need you for if at a certain point I'm just doing everything. My publisher told me it's not coming out in paperback. We're done with you. Really? Yeah. Okay.

Well don't worry. Except before the Grammy nomination. Now. They're crawling around. Now he's coming back. All right. We got your phone calls. We were talking off the air a lot about concussions and about football. Also, if you like the show, you like what you hear and you want to help support the pirate ship and go to Adam and Drew, you go to the Adam and Drew page and you can click

on the PayPal donate button and keep us afloat if you like what you hear now so you know about the concussions well here's my thing as I was saying the doctor drew in a nutshell the crux of the thing is I feel football is going to change and I I even believe there are a lot of people who feel that football as we know it, as we grew up watching it, will not, it was going to cease to exist. Maybe. Because of the, I'll tell you why, because the head trauma thing, it's not, well number one it's the lawsuits from these players.

When the NFL knew that there was a connection, that's their premise. You know, and the NFL is like going, well you know, it's a high risk sport, you knew what was going on and you chose to play. That's not why it's never going to exist. It's not going to exist because parents, to feed the football machine, when you go all across the country, you know, Pop Warner, that starts when kids are seven, eight, nine years old. By the time they're into high school, they've already been tracked and segregated and developed.

I mean that's so much a part of the machine of football. Once concerned parents around the country go, head injuries? Something could happen to my child? No dude, you're playing soccer. That's what's going to kill it. Well, it's starting to happen. Couple things. It is starting to happen. There's a couple things back in the day there used to be a lot of Jewish boxers and Then what? Mm-hmm. Oh a lot of Jewish like the other gangster squads about a boxer

Oh, it is. That's a movie gay gangster swan They used to be they used to be opera singing No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, fighters and a lot of a lot of Irish fighters and there's a lot of Italians Jews people don't know there were a lot of fighters immigrants poor people okay what happened well they came up they came up educated their parents and you know a couple generations later 40 years later there weren't many Italian fighters what is your point now there are a lot of black fighters and a lot of Hispanic fighters. There's always the folks that aren't doing as well are going to be willing to go out there and get their head kicked around just a little bit. So what's going to happen with football, I believe, is the folks like you, Drew, who have kids and you're of means, who are educated,

and you're going to start pulling your kids out of there Michael Irvin's mom with the nine brothers and sisters living in the Sears gardening shed is still gonna let her kid play ball as a Ticket out of their life. I understand but here's the here's the difference. Here's the powerful No, you're right. You're absolutely right, but the NFL Like there's nothing bigger in this country. There's no bigger sport. They've taken great pains to paint and create this picture of the NFL professional football being all American.

You know what I'm saying? And they don't want that stain on this industry. It's different. Everybody knows no for forever boxing is a blood sport You don't get smarter boxing. You know, you get punched in your head the point How do I win a boxing match? I hit you with my fist so hard that I can cuss you Right short circuit your brain with brute force and make you stop make you fall down Short-circuit your brain with brute force and make you stop make you fall down Knock you the fuck out. That's how you win Quiet as this cop. That's how you win in football, too

Welcome back and thanks for tuning in to the Adam and dr. Drew show classics up next the one and only Kathy Lee Gifford stopped by to talk to the fellows about podcast life, appearances, and living a life of gratitude. Take a listen. Kathy Lee Gifford is with us. Kathy Lee? Hello, gentlemen. How are you today? Doing Well? How are you doing? I got I'm always honest salty. I've got my foot up in the air. Oh, I have got an ice pack on it. I am

under the medication dr. Drew I hope you don't mind but of major amounts of benadryl a Nasty little yellow jacket got me a couple of days ago, and it makes me crazy that something so small can have such impact on your life. Hey, let me give you a little bit of advice. Sometimes, I don't want to second-guess what your doctor is doing, but sometimes you get a certain amount of tissue breakdown from those and they get infected, and some antibiotics, like a first-generation cephalospora, goes

a long way in helping these things get better fast. Well, I appreciate you saying that because guess what? I had a shot of that in my butt today and a shot of Benadryl in the other one. And so I basically, that's a disclaimer that going forward, I am not responsible for anything that I say or do. Good. That should be fun. Good. I feel the same way for everything all the time time including family and intimate matters as well so I didn't

do it I was there I don't remember doing it is more the answer and I've that are the thing I say most often that doesn't sound like me that doesn't sound like something I would say well you said all good all good stuff cathie lee and company by the way name of the new podcast regis filman is the guest on our first episode it's available october twenty-third at podcast one dot com i know good company i meant yes i have one called all about women on podcast one

and both you and hoda are invited. We are here at your discretionary or is that a financial term? That's a Benadryl-filled term. These days I get them all confused. Did you interview Regis yet? Have you done the podcast? No, we're gonna do it this week. You will find podcasting a very different experience than just about anything else in media. It's really interesting how different it is. Well, for me it's different because it means no hair, no makeup, and no spanks.

It also means no bridle. You're free to do whatever. I don't know why you can't masturbate when you're... I'm just curious, Adam. It's kind of frightening. What? Oh, yeah. I understand the hair and the makeup part, but I still feel like I need to masturbate anyway

The you know for check For a for a lady that is a big deal that hair and that makeup For the fellas, you know when I did Celebrity apprentice they'd ship us out of that hotel at 6 a.m. hair and makeup for the ladies 430 you know and a lot of them would get down there at 430 and you because the cameras up your ass the entire time. The more insecure you are the earlier you arrive. Right now for the for the fellas a little powder and a little dipity-doo and ten minutes later you're out the door.

I know. Nothing's fair. You know what? I blame it all on Eve anyway. And it's only fair. We should pay more. Right. She's the one that said, you know, eat the damn apple.

So no, Hoda and I years ago, like three and a half or so years ago, went makeup free on our air. I remember that. Yeah. Yeah. And it was like, it was, it's liberating. Yeah. So I can't wait for the podcast thing.

Drew called it courageous at the time. Yeah. Stupid is another word. But I think people kind of respect it when you get rid of the charade, you know, and say, look, listen, this is what I really look like people, you know, this is after my glam team, you know. Let me, let me say, let let me let me suggest this Kathy. Okay. If people it's it's it's right up there with getting your teeth whitened. Right. I realized that I

had to have my teeth whitened because I was sitting in between a host and a guest on a sofa maybe even Jimmy Kimmel's show or Leno's show or somebody's show, and somebody said to me, you have to get your teeth whitened. Well, I didn't have to get my teeth whitened. Those other guys needed to leave their teeth alone and then you would have seen one long bar of yellow. Well, think about it.

If everybody gets a tit job, then you gotta get a tit job if everyone gets their teeth whiten Then your teeth seem gray Compared to everyone you're in the picture with never ever ever visit England again I was thinking about this the other day. I've said it once I say it again I think all women ought to let their hair go Let it go stop with the ironing stop with the blow-drying the millions of kilowatts I think all women ought to let their hair go. Let it go. Stop with the ironing.

Stop with the blow drying. The millions of kilowatts that would be saved, the millions of hours saved, the millions of products saved, spent on their hair. Everyone just wears it in a bun. Well, Drew, what if... It would be like 19th century again. That's what they did. No, you want to...

But basically we all go on this. Yeah. I was going to say it. It used to be the way. You just tied it up and put a bonnet on it. Can I say this? can I suggest this? The you know 70 cents to the dollar which is sort of a myth, but the glass ceiling may exist whatever What if you had to spend an hour a day blowing hot air on your head?

I mean that would set you back in almost every realm Every facet if you had to spend thousands of hours of your life working an iron through your hair, just working on your hair, how far back would you be in your career and whatever other endeavors? Well I would have had a different career all that hot air blowing. I would have gone into politics. I love that sense of humor baby. So what are you planning on? I want to I want to know the story Kathy. I want to know how it all began. Where you come from. My father had sex with my mother. Yeah, no, further back. Oh, God, as it says in the Psalms, saw me before. Well, no, that wasn't before. No, that's pretty much how it came to be.

So, daddy forgot to pull out and then what? And gratefully so. I ended up with the greatest family since the cleavers that ever happened. Be careful, Kathleen. If people say that to me, I'm always suspect. Immediately. Here's the deal. My daddy died 12 years ago now and there's not a day that goes by that I don't thank

God for him in my life. And this is no joke. I mean, every great lesson in life I ever learned, I learned from my dad before he passed away. And in his most critical days and months before he did pass, I learned everything about how to end your life with grace and dignity and courage. That's important. Yeah, I'm blessed. I am one of those people that doesn't have a leg and all we need to start blaming the victimization thing about where you came

from i'd we had nothing financially but we have everything that matters in life that a mom and a dad who uh... who who just got it they understood they didn't have children they couldn't afford they had children that they wanted but. They had children that they wanted.

They blessed the children that they had and they spent the rest of their lives teaching us that we're not here to be entitled. We are too much is given, much is required. And there's not a day literally that goes by that I don't hear my daddy's voice saying things like, I love you too much to deny you the privilege of making mistakes. Did they stay together? Pardon. Did they stay together? Pardon? Did they stay together? Oh yeah they would have celebrated basically that their 60th wedding anniversary or maybe even more. My daddy died in 2002 November so we're coming up on the

12th anniversary. What is that? The 13th, what is the 11th? My parents' 50th is coming up, except for they got divorced somewhere around the 7th. Yeah, you know what? But technically it's still coming. I think you can't even qualify. I mean, it's out there. The impact of that. So Kathy, can I say, pay you this compliment,

but ask you how you get this, which is, I've been kind of thinking a lot about this in life, and all the people, one of my favorite thinkers is a man by the name of Dennis Prager, who I enjoy very much, he does radio out here, he says, wait a minute, the pastor from Shaw, Chicago? No. No, this is a large Jewish man who has a lot of wisdom yeah and he says almost every time there's one of these mass shootings and somebody goes on a rampage that

person looks at themselves as a victim that person looks at themselves as being either bullied or discriminated I mean oh no they have that mentally sure he's disconnected from reality and believes that God is, or that the devil is telling them or whatever. No, no, no. He's bad. They're the Joker, the Batman's kind of, you know, come on now. No, no, no. Quite, quite true.

No, quite, quite. They're also, no, but they, I don't mean, not necessarily victims, but they have been done wrong by women, by classmates, by coworkers. There is a lot of that thinking. There's a lot of thinking in the world. Well, there's, well of thinking there's a lot of thinking the world well there's well they were there emotionally amass and i'm sorry that mental issues and part of the mental issue is

everybody to workplace is victimized me or hates me as may my they're going in there to kill people for a reason often time but they've not been done right kathy there's a lot of people who grow up in pretty good circumstances and still have pretty big beefs. For instance, you were, let's say, poor. You could focus on that aspect of your childhood. The way Adam does. The way I do. Only about your childhood. But the people that have gratitude, the people, I always say, you know, I don't personally

do it, I can't do it, but wake up in the morning and go, wow, look at me, I have my health, I have my family, the sun is shining, what a great day. Gratitude is an extremely important thing that people- It's the most important thing. Of being happy. You can put your whole attitude towards the rest of your life. But people left that behind though, you're right. Gratitude is not a commonly... Look, you think our leaders inculcate gratitude these days?

No, no. They want everyone to be upset and angry and agitated. And want more, get more, give more, whatever. And showing up at the voting polls. Right. And, you know, no. All they do is get up on the pulpit and talk about why you're being held down, why the playing field's not even, why they try to engender this dissatisfaction. So how do you get that gratitude?

You had a family, you said they didn't have much money, but you didn't care. How do you stay on the positive side of these memories? Well, my dad was a Russian Jewish. his father was a Russian immigrant. He was a Russian Jew, first generation. His mother was almost all American Indian, so we used to call my daddy Sitting Shiva. But he never, he just, I think it's a choice. Your attitude is a choice you make. My father's father left him when he was a child and he ended up being the youngest in his family but took care of the whole family. He never saw himself as a victim. He said this is a great

country. I am blessed to be here. He had three jobs for as long as I can remember. My mom sold eggs door to door but as a result, we saw it as, well, my daddy was a jazz sax bonus, so we had music in the family. And my mom sold eggs door to door, so we never went hungry. And it's a choice you make. Am I going to be better or bitter? And I'm just so grateful that I chose the better path. We'll be right back with more of the Adam and Dr. Drew

show classics. We are back with the final clip of the episode, so let's get right to it. Up next, comedian Doug Benson came on the show to talk about the art of stand-up. You know, stand-up comedians. They have an art and they illustrate He stopped to talk with the fellas and of course he never disappoints. Here's the clip The Benson is joining us in studio hello good to see you Doug good to be here Doug's got a new web series getting Doug with hi it streams live on Wednesdays at 415 Pacific. YouTube.com slash Doug Benson is where you go.

Well, but you know, on my show, we smoke weed for the entire show. It's 45 minutes. You've never seen high with Adam I think I've smoked with Adam I can get it's a rare occasion I can get high okay I might

I know it used to be five. It is now six I've done the math on this. Why don't we ever do a live podcast? We'll do that

No, no, we'll get that the setup so you're doing a show from the Bev Mo Signing some bottles of mangria at the Bev Mo. You don't have your side by six o'clock you got to get a signed bottle all right Doug oh and I should say also that Doug's doing some live stand-up shows Houston and that's tomorrow November 15th and warehouse live also Portland November 23rd helium comedy club Doug Traveling about doing stand-up still into it getting tired How's how's the feeling on traveling around the country because Adams tired? Well? Yeah, it's it can be exhausting but as you know from your schedule these days

One way to keep it interesting and not get too sick of it is to just have different things you do at each stop. So I'll do a Douglas Movies one night and then the next night I'll do a movie interruption where me and my friends sit in the movie theater and talk during the movie. And then another night I'll do stand-up. And I've got several other podcasts that I do Right, you know and I've got you know several other podcasts that I do that that that can travel so right So I'm always doing different kinds of shows Yeah, even though I'm traveling a lot no no exactly what you mean Which is if you're just doing stand-up and maybe the same act or close to it night after night You get a little burnt out, but you go and mix it up. You do a different format

Yeah, you do a lot of improvised stuff bring some joy to it Yeah, I like that audiences are willing to pay to just just hear me and my friends, you know Talk shit, you know talk shit and and good things to say about movies or what? But it's a new it's a new thing It didn't exist. It didn't and you know when I say it didn't exist three years ago. I'm not exaggerating And when I say it didn't exist three years ago, I'm not exaggerating, it didn't exist two years ago, really. This kind of go up there, bring out some guests, and wing it sort of thing. Stand Up was pretty well orchestrated.

It's meant to be like magic in the sense that it's supposed to look like one thing, but it's really quite well orchestrated you know yeah and a guy comes up and does his act and even if in the middle of his act he goes oh wait a minute I just thought of something man I guarantee you he said that same thing last night the night before in the town before in the weekend before so you can get a little sometimes you're lucky enough to catch it on the first time, but a lot of great jokes are created on stage and then we cheat and act like we're recreating it every time. Right, but listen, if

you're skilled, just like the magician is skilled, then if you see it for the 135th time and Doug Benson goes, oh wait a minute I just thought of something, if he's good at what he does, is a good illusionist you then believe him and it feels satisfying yeah because you don't know that he came up with that thing especially my crowd doesn't know cuz they could have seen the show the last time right and then they come back I don't know what you said I remember it was fun is there anything different when you go to Colorado, Oregon now, or Washington? Those states have been so far ahead of everybody that it's been pretty... I haven't done a

show there yet where people light up during the show. But I wonder if the humor is not as interesting to them because the bloom is off the rose. They've gotten where they need to go and that's that. Yeah, but the whole argument of people do it and people are interested in it because it's illegal, you know, that's hooey. People wouldn't get drunk as much as they do if they were just doing it because it was illegal for a while. No, I actually agree with you and that's why I was asking that question because I think Colorado and Oregon are sort of case studies. Is it Oregon, Washington?

It's Washington, Oregon, and Colorado, right? Oregon hasn't gotten on board yet. It's Washington and Colorado. Yeah, yeah. It's shocking to me that they didn't get there first, because in Oregon, they already use weed as currency. But Oregon is weird, though. There's a very conservative group within.

Yeah, sure. People don't understand. When Adam stood me up once at Oregon State recall That god damn it I I swear to fucking god you guys listen up, you know You know this happens a lot it happens to me a fucking lot because like my wife will do this She'll know I don't want to go to my daughter's kindergarten sing-along, whatever, you know? But I'll tell her, like, what happened. Like, I'll go, I went to the school, I parked, I went in, I went to her classroom, I banged on the door, I opened the door, no one was in there. Then I found Sonny's teacher and I said,

where is Natalia? Where's her class? Where's the sing-along? And she said it's in room 221. So I opened the door to 221 and I opened the door and there's just three teachers in there eating and they're all just looked at me. So I walked around again and I thought I knew the room and I reached for the door and I swear to God Sonny's teacher said, not in there. No, no, don't bother opening that door, she's not in there. And I said, fuck it. And I went home.

Well, they were in there. And the teacher literally stopped me as I was reaching for the door and said, your daughter's not in that classroom. And I went, well, I'm out of ideas and I'm parked in the 20-minute parking by the way so fuck it and I drove home and my wife's reaction the whole time was okay so you didn't want to go and I was like I was there I was looking I went through three classrooms all right well we're disappointed that you didn't want to go and I was like you're right I didn't want to go but I was there and I did go

through this fucking thing with Drew you and your fucking manager I went to the fucking airport to go do the show in Oregon the flight was canceled they canceled the fucking flight because of weather I tried to get on another flight and they said well that flights gonna land later than this flight is gonna land so I tried a few more flights and I went home because the place was socked in. And my flight was canceled. And then Drew and fucking Howard, your manager, is always like, so you didn't want to go to that gig.

You should have just said something. And I'm like, I went. Yes, I didn't want to go. I don't want to go anywhere. But I went to a fucking airport and the flight was canceled. All right. But if you didn't want to go you should have said something and I'm like stop fucking putting this in the column of me not wanting to go the why you knew you were lucky you didn't have to write the flight was canceled I was at the airport I didn't get there and missed the flight I did not cancel the

flight was true on how come he was Hold on. That's where the story gets interesting. Because the visiting his daughter's grammar school is a perfect model for the Oregon State event. Because Adam didn't want to go, he didn't want to go on the flight. I was already in Oregon when his flight was canceled because we knew that that was the last flight out that day. We didn't want to risk it because they told us there's often fog in Oregon. So take the earlier flight in case the last one gets canceled. I was in Oregon.

That's why I was there because I took the earlier flight and didn't want to go and didn't want to go where? Why'd I go to Oregon? I was at the airport trying to get on the flight. And we had arranged another airline to take him if he would run across the airport and his response was, fuck it. No please, if you had another flight ready to go that could have made it. No, it was not ready to go, it was a hassle and you could have barely made it but you weren't willing to try.

No, they were saying the airport was socked in or whatever. In any event. And we're not unwilling to try. But you, wait, wait, but here's the point Mr.. Actions tell you everything you need to know Motivation tells you you know behavior tells you I sorry hold on there. It is no no people I catch the last flight to everywhere all the time because I don't want to get there five hours earlier than I need to get There I take the last flight routinely. You guys know that if we're

doing a show in Sacramento at 8 o'clock I'll leave Burbank on a 545 flight or 610 flight and just go fuck it we'll get to the airport by 730. No you do do that. And that's all I ever do. So I always say I'll take the last flight in. I went to LAX. I went to go get on the Alaskan Airlines flight. They said it's canceled. That is not me. Now, if that was something that was insanely important to me and it was a life or death and I couldn't miss it

and so on and so forth, I would have taken an earlier flight to go, I'm not going to chance this., but I routinely on theaters that are sold out show up I get it. So this area this particular how dare you this particular event? Doug how many people you figure where he's letting down with this event? Oh, I can't even you know, it varies wildly But I have a thousand people at least 7500 Yes in a basketball stadium. It was one of the biggest ones we'd ever done. You went out there by yourself?

By myself. I'd never done it before, too. It was horrible. That's all for this week. Thanks for listening to the Adam and Dr. Drew Show Classics.
