Welcome to another episode of the Adam and Dr. Drew Show Classics. I am your host, Big Brother Jake, aka Jake Warner. My government name. Let's go. Up first, legendary comedian David Alan Greer. You know, from In Living Color, the movie Boomerang, and so many other shows. He stopped by and he was on fire. Check it out.

Yeah, get it on. Got to get it on. No choice but to get it on, man. Get it on. Welcome program. Again, that's Dr. Drew. I'm me. And David Allen Greer, once again, has joined us in the studio.

What's cracking? Dag is going to be doing live stand-up at Caroline's. That is just a great room. That is tonight, February 7th through the 9th. Now, is that one show Thursday, two shows Friday, two shows Saturday? What? Hmm? It's like you're reading my mind.

Yeah. Yeah, but then I fly home Sunday. Why? Because I'm nominated for a Grammy. Nice. And I'm doing the Grammy pre-show thing. Oh, hold on. Nominated for a Grammy. Nice. And I'm doing the Grammy pre-show thing. Oh, hold on. Nominated for a Grammy. Now, I know

you get nominated for Tonys, but tell us about the Grammy. Well, here's really what happened. Porgy and Beth got nominated for the best Broadway soundtrack. People started texting me. They were like, congratulations. I'm like, congratulations for what? It's not like me. It's like

900 people. Are you a solo in that second act? Of course. I'm like, congratulations for what? It's not like me. It's like 900 people. Are you a solo in that second act? Of course, I have two or three, but the point is this. You get 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, 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 gotta come back for the grammys right normally the schedule is one thursday two friday two saturday and then one sund. You know what happened at the Sunday show? Pussy time. That's right.

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, you've 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. 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 gotta spearhead the movement. And I'm like,

the fuck do I know? What does that mean? You didn't get nominated? No. They give it to Betty White or something. So you're not in my category. Team up with Audrey, you'll be nominated. Well, I just wondered. Let's figure this out. Let's see if we can figure out who got nominated for

spoken word or audio whatever i'd like to but they just they just have books um 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 a campaign yeah and 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 they got 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, I agree with that. It has nothing to do with sales or anything.

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 e-books you sell. It has to do with the quality of your work. Janice Ian. That's why you have it. 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 DeGeneres, by the way. She was persecuted for being gay.

Right. It's really. 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. She's getting by. But imagine if she had a penis imagine she had 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 going in her defense her talk show has 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'd know who she was. I know one thing. Right now, you can't get out the closet fast enough. Right.

People are lining up. Right. They're here. Lining up. She's a hero. Yeah, you're right. She was out of work for a whole six months. She was. That's heroes. Lining up. 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 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 gotta no my my my publisher's always like do you know you know when they do the forward thing or like who's like can you ask seth mcfarn can you ask david allen greer can you i just said i was here but can you just ask can you get all these guys and then they're always like can you go out and i always think to myself like at a

certain point i go i could do all that but that, but what do I need you for? Yeah. 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. Is that 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 uh if you

like the show you like what you hear and you want to help support the pirate ship you can go to adam and drew you go to 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 don't have concussions well here's my thing as i was saying to dr drew in a nutshell um the crux of the thing is i feel football is going to change and i i 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 not – it was going to cease to exist. Maybe. Because of the – I'll tell you why.

Because of the head trauma thing. It's not – number one, it's the lawsuits from these players when the NFL knew that there was a connection. That's their premise. And the NFL is like going, well, 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 crown 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. A couple of things. It is starting to happen. There's a to kill it. Well, it's starting to happen. A couple of things. It is starting to happen. There's a couple of things.

Back in the day, there used to be a lot of Jewish boxers. And then. Wait a minute. What? Mm-hmm. A lot of Jewish. Like the gangster squad. It's about a boxer.

Oh, it is. That's a movie. Gay gangster squad or just gangster squad? No, no, no. He sang. Hey, Adam. It was a former boxer. Adam.

Hey, Adam. There used to be opera singing. Simone. Simone. You know what I'm saying? No, there were a lot of Jewish fighters, and there were a lot of Italian fighters, and there was a lot of Irish fighters. A lot of Irish. A lot of Irish fighters, and there was a lot of Italians and Jews.

People don't know. There were a lot of Jewish fighters. Immigrants. Poor A lot of Irish fighters, and there was a lot of Italians and Jews. People don't know there were a lot of Jews. Irish fighters. Immigrants. Poor people. Okay, what happened? Well, they came up. They came up. They got educated. And, you know, a couple generations later, 40 years later, there weren't so many Italian fighters.

What is your point? Now, there are a lot of black fighters and a lot of Hispanic fighters. It'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, you're 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 going to let her kid play ball as a ticket out of their life. I understand, but here's the difference.

Powerful. No, you're right. You're absolutely right. But the NFL, 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? Mm hmm.

And they don't want that stain on this industry. It's different. Everybody has known for forever. Boxing is a blood sport. You don't get smarter boxing. You get punched in your head. The point of how do I win a boxing match? I hit you with my fist so hard that I concuss you.

I 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 a cop, that's how you win in football, too. Welcome back and thanks for tuning in to the Adam and Dr. Drew Show Classics. 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? Well, I, of course. Is with us. Kathy Lee? Hello, gentlemen. How are you today? Doing well. How are you doing? Well, I'm always honest.

I'll tell you, I've got my foot up in the air. Uh-oh. I've 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 cephalosporin, goes a long way in helping these things get better fast 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 uh so i i basically that's a disclaimer that going forward i am not responsible for anything that i say or do good this should be fun good i feel the same way everything all time, including family and intimate matters as well. There you go. I wasn't there. I didn't do it.

I was there. I don't remember doing it is more the answer. And the thing I say most often, that doesn't sound like me. That doesn't sound like something I would say. Well, you said it. All good stuff. Kathy Lee and company, by the way, name of the new podcast. Regis Philbin is the guest on our first episode.

It's available October 23rd at PodcastOne.com. I know. Good company I'm in, huh? Yes. I have one called All About Women on PodcastOne. Both you and Hoda are invited any time. Oh, we are here at your discretionary, or is that

a financial term? That's a disposal word. 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 going to 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 bridal. You're free to do whatever. I don't know why you can't masturbate. What? Oh, yeah. I understand the hair and the makeup part, but I still feel like I need to masturbate.

Anyway, you know, for a chick. I'm going to resist the urge, personally. For a lady, that is a big deal, that hair and that makeup. Oh, yeah. 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, 4.30. And a lot of them would get down there at 4.30.

Because the camera's up your ass the entire time. The more insecure you are, the earlier you arrive. Right. For the fellas, a little powder and a little dippity-doo, and ten minutes later you're out the door. 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. No, Hoda and I, years ago, like three and a half or so years ago, went make-up-free on our air. Oh, I remember that.

Yeah. Yeah, and it was like, it's liberating. Yeah. 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 suggest this, people. You know, this is after my glam team, you know. Let me let me say let me let me suggest this, Kathy. 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've got to get a tit job. If everyone gets their teeth whitened, then your teeth seem gray compared to everyone you're in the picture with. You can never, ever, ever visit England again. I was thinking about this the other day. I've said it once.

I'll 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 that would be saved. The millions of hours saved. The millions of products saved.

Spent on their hair. Just everyone just wears it in a bun. Well, Drew, what if... It would be like 19th century again. No, you want to... That's what they did. We all go Amish. Yeah, I was going to say.

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 onto 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 or 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. That's just truth.

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. So be careful, Kathleen. 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 to stand on. When you start blaming the victimization thing about where you came from. We had nothing financially, but we had everything that matters in life. Because I had a mom and a dad who just got it.

They understood. They didn't have children they couldn't afford. 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 to whom 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 their 60th wedding anniversary or maybe even more. Wow. My daddy died in 2002 in November. So we're coming up on the 12th anniversary. No, 20.

What is that? The 13th? Yeah. The 11th. My parents' 50th is coming up. Yeah. except for they got divorced somewhere around the 7th. But technically, it's still coming. 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. Wait a minute, the pastor from Chicago? No. No, this is a large Jewish man who has a lot of wisdom. Yeah.

a large Jewish man who's just a, 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, they have mental issues. He's wrong. He's disconnected from reality and believes that God is, or devil's telling them or whatever. No, no, no. He's bad. They're the joker. No, no, but. The fat man's, you know, come on now. He's wrong. He's disconnected from reality and believes that God is telling them or whatever. No, no, no.

They're the Joker. The Batman. No, quiet. Quiet, Drew. No, quiet. Quiet. They're also victims. No, but they, I don't mean, not necessarily victims, but they have been done wrong by

women, by classmates, by co-workers. There is a lot of that thinking. There's a lot of thinking in the world. Well, they're emotionally a mess. I'm sorry. They have mental issues. And part of the mental issue is everybody at the workplace has victimized me or hates me. They're going in there to kill people for a reason, oftentimes.

But they've not been done right. And, 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 you could 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 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. Your whole attitude towards the rest of your life. People left that behind, though.

You're right. Gratitude is not a commonly... You think our leaders inculcate gratitude these days? No. Think about that. No. They want everyone to be upset and angry and agitated. And want more, get more, give more, whatever.

And going up to 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 saxophonist, so we had music in the family. And my mom sold eggs door to door, so we never went hungry. You know, 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,, of course, he never disappoints.

Here's the clip. Doug Benson is joining us in studio. Hello. Good to see you, Doug. It's good to be here. Doug's got a new web series, Getting Doug With High. It streams live on Wednesdays at 415 Pacific. YouTube.com slash Doug Benson is where you go.

I'll be on the show soon enough. That's what they're saying is that you've agreed to do it. I've agreed in principle to do everything, Doug. Well, but on my show, we smoke weed for the entire show. It's 45 minutes. You've never seen High with Adam. Adam with High. I think I've smoked with Adam. I can get high. It's 45 minutes. You've never seen High with Adam. Adam with High. I think I've smoked with Adam.

I can get high. It's a rare occasion. I can get high. Okay. I might bring a little manganese. All right. Have a little each. Just, you know,

even myself out just a little bit. And Drew, of course, is welcome to sit there next to us. I can't get high with you guys? And watch. You have a brownie or something.

All right. Yeah. I mean, I would love to be the guy that got Dr. Drew to smoke on camera. That's good ratings. Yeah. A couple things real quick, like me, us, not Dr. Drew, but my podcast, Borderline Thousand Oaks.

That is tomorrow at 8 p.m. We're doing a live podcast. And me, Bev Moe, tomorrow, 6 o'clock in Ventura County. 6 o'clock in Ventura County. I know. It used to be 5. It is now 6. I've done the math on this.

Why don't we ever do a live podcast? We'll do that. We'll get that set up soon. You're doing a show from the Bev Moe? I'm signing some bottles of Mangria at the BevMo. You don't have your signed bottles? Six o'clock. You gotta get a signed bottle. Alright.

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 the feeling on traveling around the country? Because Adam's tired. Well, I'm sure— Now, a lot of comedians are tired. Yeah, 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, you know, different things you do at each stop. You know, 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, you know, talk during the movie. Right. And then another night I'll do stand-up. Right. You know, and I've got, you know, several other podcasts that I do that can travel.

So I'm always doing different kinds of shows, even though I'm traveling a lot. I know 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. You do a lot of improvised stuff. Bring some joy to it. Yeah. I like that audiences are willing to pay to just hear me and my friends talk shit and good things to say about movies or whatever.

But it's a new thing. It didn't exist. 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 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 uh a lot of great jokes are created on stage and then and then we cheat and act like we're recreating it uh 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 which which 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 in Portland.

Well, especially my crowd doesn't know because they could have seen the show the last time I was in town and then they come back. I don't know what you said, but I remember it was fun. Is there anything different when you go to colorado oregon now or washington oh it's those those states have been so far ahead of everybody that it's already it's been pretty but you know uh i haven't done a show there yet where people uh you know light up during the show that but but i wonder if it's if it diminished if the humor is not as interesting to them because the bloom is off the rose they've like 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, that's hooey. Because 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. So Washington, Colorado.

Yeah, yeah. It's shocking to me that they didn't get there first because, you know, in Oregon they already use weed as currency. But Oregon is weird, though. There's a very conservative group within. People don't understand. When Adam stood me up once at oregon state recall okay oh oh that god damn it i 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 walked to another room, and 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. Sonny's teacher, 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 flight's going to land later than this flight is going to 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 the 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 it should be in the you were lucky you didn't have to right the flight was canceled i was at the airport i didn't get there and miss the flight i did not cancel the flight was there hold on That's where the story gets interesting. Because 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 I didn't want to go. Didn't want to go where?

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 it is. 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 the story. Hold on.

There it is. No, no. That's why people tell you you didn't want to go. Fuck them. 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 eight 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. That's not an acceptable behavior.

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. Right, right. But I routinely, on theaters that are sold out, show up on the last flight. So this particular, how dare you, this particular event, Doug, how many people you figure he's

letting down with this event? Oh, I can't even, you know, it varies wildly, but probably a thousand people at least. 7,500. 7,500 people in a basketball stadium. It was one of the biggest ones we'd ever done. And you went out there by yourself? By myself. I'd never done it before, too.

Horrible. It was horrible. That's all for this week. Thanks for listening to the Adam and Dr. Drew Show Classics.
