And I'm doing the Grammy pre-show thing. Oh, hold on. Nominated for a 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 Bess got nominated for the best Broadway
Starting point is 00:01:18 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. Have you been solo in that second act? Of course I have two or three but the point is this. 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 is 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 a Grammy's yeah normally the
Starting point is 00:02:00 schedule is one Thursday two Friday two, two Saturday, and then one Sunday. One Sunday. You know what happened at the Sunday show? Pussy time! Woo! Hey! So you got nominated. And now you're back and going to the Grammys. Yes, sir.
Starting point is 00:02:13 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. You know, you 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? Yeah, they do.
Starting point is 00:02:38 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 know. I know what I 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 in life. Yeah, who? Let's figure this out. Let's see
Starting point is 00:03:01 if we can figure out who got nominated for spoken word or audio, whatever. I'd like to know that. But 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. Did they? Yeah, I don't know how it works actually.
Starting point is 00:03:21 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 it 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.
Starting point is 00:03:54 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
Starting point is 00:04:36 would that be going 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. 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 is you can't get out the closet fast enough. People are lining up. They're here lining up. 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
Starting point is 00:05:10 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 know hey You've got to go get this and you got to find that person and you got a no get this and you got to find that person and you got to know my publishers always like do you know you know when they do the forward thing or like who's like can you ask Seth
Starting point is 00:05:52 McFarland can you ask David Allen Greer can you I just said who's here but can you just ask can you get all these guys 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 what do we what did 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 it's coming back. All right 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
Starting point is 00:06:35 the Pirate Ship, you can go to Adam and Drew, you can 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 have concussions well here's my thing is 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.
Starting point is 00:07:09 Because of the, I'll tell you why, because 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. 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 gonna exist It's not gonna 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
Starting point is 00:07:42 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. A couple things.
Starting point is 00:08:03 It is starting to happen. There's a kill it. Well, it's starting to happen a couple things 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 a lot of Jewish like the other gangster squads about a boxer Oh, it is. Yeah, it's a movie gay gangster swan They used to be they used to be opera singing. Simone. Simone.
Starting point is 00:08:30 You're always saying that. No there were a lot of Jewish, 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 fighters. A lot of Irish fighters and there was a lot of Italians and Jews. People don't know there were a lot of fighters immigrants poor people okay what happened well they came up they came up on the got educated their parent and you know a couple generations later 40 years later
Starting point is 00:08:57 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 a powerful in F no you're right you're absolutely right but
Starting point is 00:09:43 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 it's known forever. Boxing is a blood sport. You don't get smarter boxing.

Up next, the one and only Kathie Lee Gifford stopped by to talk to the fellows about podcast life, appearances, and living a life of gratitude. Take a listen.
Starting point is 00:12:07 Cathy Lee Gifford is with us. Cathy Lee? Hello gentlemen, how are you today? Doing well, how are you doing? Well, I'm always honest. 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.
Starting point is 00:12:37 Hey, let me give you a little bit of advice. Sometimes I don't want to second guess what your doctor's 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 basically that's a disclaimer that going forward I am not responsible for anything that I say or do it. That should be fun. Good I feel the same way everything all the time including family and intimate matters as well
Starting point is 00:13:15 So I wasn't there. I didn't do it. I was there. I don't remember doing it. It's more the answer and I've there or the thing I say most often that doesn't sound like me That doesn't sound like something I would say Well, you said Kathy Lee and company by the way name of the new podcast Regis Philman is the guest on her first episode and it's available October 23rd at podcast one.com It's available October 23rd at PodcastOne.com. I know. Good company I'm in, huh?
Starting point is 00:13:47 Yes. I have one called All About Women on Podcast One. 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?
Starting point is 00:14:03 Have you done the podcast? No. We're going gonna do it this week I will find you will find podcasting a very different experience than just about anything else in media It's really interesting how different it is Because it means no hair no makeup and no Spanx. It also means no no bridal. You're free to do whatever I don't know why you can't masturbate you're free to do whatever i don't know why you can't master bait what right now i understand here in the makeup are by still feel like i need to masturbate
Starting point is 00:14:30 anyway uh... uh... you know for a check at the urge personally for for a for a lady that is a big deal that hair and that makeup uh... 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.
Starting point is 00:15:03 Right now for the for the fellas a little powder and a little dip-a-dee-doo hammers up your ass the entire time. The more insecure you are, the earlier you arrive. Right. It's not incentive. Now, for the fellas, a little powder and a little dip-a-dee-doo and ten minutes later, you're out the door. You know, nothing's fair. You know what? I blame it all on Eve, anyway. And it's only fair.
Starting point is 00:15:15 We should pay more. Right. She's the one that said, you know, eat the damn apple. So... No, Hoda and I, years years ago like three and a half or so years ago went makeup free on our air i remember that yeah and it was like it was it's liberating yeah i can't wait for the
Starting point is 00:15:32 podcast thing who called it courageous at the time yeah uh... stupid is another word but uh... i think people kind of respect it well let me get rid of that charade you know know, and say, look, listen, this is what I really look like people, you know, this is after my glam team, you know.
Starting point is 00:15:51 Let me suggest this, Kathy. Okay. If people, 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
Starting point is 00:16:22 you would have seen one long bar of yellow. I'm not going to be my association. Well think about it, if everybody gets a tit job then you gotta get a tit job. If everyone gets their teeth whitened then your teeth seem gray compared to everyone you're in the picture with. That's true, 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
Starting point is 00:16:55 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. It would be like 19th century again. That's what they did. But basically we all go Amish. Yeah, I was going to what it'd be like 19th century again. You want what they did? Yeah, I was gonna say it used to be the way you just hide it up and put a bonnet on it Can I say this can I suggest this?
Starting point is 00:17:13 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 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
Starting point is 00:17:35 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 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. God, as it says in the Psalms, saw me before. Well, no know that wasn't before uh... now that that's pretty much what i i think that the so daddy forgot to pull
Starting point is 00:18:08 out and then what and gratefully so i ended up with the greatest family that the people that worked ever happened so the careful carefully to say that to me i'm always suspect immediately here's a deal my daddy died twelve 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. 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
Starting point is 00:18:42 to end your life with grace and dignity and courage. That's important. Well 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 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 too much is given, much is required. And there's not a day literally that goes by
Starting point is 00:19:24 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? Oh yeah they would have celebrated I 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?
Starting point is 00:19:50 My parents' 50th is coming up, except for they got divorced somewhere around the 7th. But technically it's still coming. I mean, it's out there. 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's a... Wait a minute, the pastor from Shaw, Chicago?
Starting point is 00:20:24 No. he uh... does radio out here is it women at the pastor from shoshakobo no no this is a large jewish man who's just a has a lot of wisdom yet 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 i don't know they have that mentally strong is disconnected from reality well leaves that got a third and i was telling them about it he's better the joker and i don't know if i know quite true
Starting point is 00:20:55 now but i don't know why they're also that no but they look not only 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.
Starting point is 00:21:21 They're going in there to kill people for a reason, oftentimes, but they've not been done right. Yeah. 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 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... The most the most important thing. Of being happy. It's a whole attitude towards the rest of your life.
Starting point is 00:22:07 People left that behind though. You're right. Gratitude is not a common... Look at... You think our leaders inculcate gratitude these days? No. No. They want everyone to be upset and angry and agitated.
Starting point is 00:22:18 And want more, get more, give more, whatever. Pay more. 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.
Starting point is 00:22:40 How do you have, how do you stay on the positive side of elf these memories well my dad was a Russian Jewish his father was a Russian immigrant he was a Russian Jew first generation my his mother was almost all American Indian so we used to call my daddy sitting Shiva and but he never he just he it's 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.
Starting point is 00:23:27 My mom sold eggs door to door. But as a result, we saw it as well. My daddy was a jazz saxophone, 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 gonna be better or bitter?
Starting point is 00:23:44 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 it. He stopped to
Starting point is 00:24:12 talk with the fellas and 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 hi It's dreams 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 I've agreed in principle to do everything Doug 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. It's a rare occasion. I can get high. Okay. I might bring a little Mangria. All right. Have a little leech. Just you know even myself
Starting point is 00:25:01 out just a little bit. And Drew of course is welcome to sit there next to us can't get high with you guys and watch you have a brownie or something No, yeah, I mean I would love to be the guy that Got dr. Drew to smoke on camera 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 mo tomorrow Six o'clock in Ventura County six o'clock in Ventura County. 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 Yeah, we'll get that the setup so you're doing a show from the Bevmo
Starting point is 00:25:49 Signing some bottles of mangria at the Bevmo. You don't have your side by six o'clock. You got to get a signed bottle 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 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.
Starting point is 00:26:35 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 right now 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
Starting point is 00:27:11 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. 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
Starting point is 00:27:52 orchestrated, you know, yeah and a guy comes up and does his act and Even if it 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 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
Starting point is 00:28:29 he's good at what he does 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 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 but 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 but you know I haven't done a show there yet where people you know light up during the show.
Starting point is 00:29:03 But I wonder if it diminishes, 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, 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.
Starting point is 00:29:28 Is it Oregon and Washington? It's Washington and 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.
Starting point is 00:29:43 There's a very conservative group within. People don't understand. When Adam stood me up once at Oregon State, recall? Oh, oh that. God damn it. I swear to fucking God. You guys listen up. You know, you know this happens a lot.
Starting point is 00:30:03 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 singles sing along whatever you know yeah, but I'll tell her like what happened I go go I went to the school. I parked I went in I went to her classroom I banged on the door open the door no one was in there 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
Starting point is 00:30:44 eating and they're all just looked at me so I walked around again and I 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 not 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 a teacher You've sunny'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 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
Starting point is 00:31:23 All right. Well, we're disappointed that 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.
Starting point is 00:31:44 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 it's my flight was cancelled and then drew and fucking Howard your manager is always like so you didn't want to go to that gig you should 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 cancelled alright But if you didn't want to go you should have said something and I'm like stop
Starting point is 00:32:12 Fucking putting this in the column of me not wanting to go the light in the you were lucky you didn't have to write The flight was cancelled. I was at the airport. I didn't get there and missed the flight. I did not cancel the flight. What flight was Drew on? How come he was there? 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.
Starting point is 00:32:56 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. Adam 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 it was a hassle man you could have barely made it but you weren't willing no they were saying the airport was socked in or whatever. 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. There it is. That's why people tell you.
Starting point is 00:33:42 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 you do do that and I that's all I ever do so I always say I'll take the last flight in I went to LAX I want 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
Starting point is 00:34:22 to me and I 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 gonna chance this but I routinely on theaters that are sold out show up I get it. So this particular event, how dare you? How many people you figure he's letting down with this event? I can't even you know it varies, but probably a thousand people at least. Yeah, 7,500. No way.
Starting point is 00:34:50 Yes, 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. It's horrible. It was horrible. That's all for this week.
