I know you get nominated for Tony's but tell us 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 Grammys. Well, here's really what happened, is Porky 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. And my manager- You have a solo in that second act. Of course, I have two or three But the point is that one By 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 Ding-lings, please welcome Grammy nominated to the week later. Dinglings, please welcome Grammy nominated, your headliner. 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 Sunday. One Sunday, you know what happened at the Sunday show, pussy time. Woo! So you got nominated. And now you're back and then one Sunday. One Sunday. You know what happened at the Sunday show? Pussy time! Woo! Hey, hey! So you got nominated. Shocker. 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, we need to do something with this Grammy nomination for audio book. Like, you got to spearhead something. with this Grammy nomination for audiobook. You know, you gotta 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 because they tell me you got a spearhead the movement and I'm like so you know I know what I mean. You didn't get nominated No, they gave it they give it to like Betty White or something. So you're not in my category Oh team up with Audrey will be down in life. Yeah, 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 but they just 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 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 hardly any On the Beatles of books I agree with that It has nothing to do with sales or anything The, it, it, it, Janis 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. 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 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 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. 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. Why, I know one thing right now, is you can't get out the closet fast enough. It's like people are lining up. Right, they're 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 cuz 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 it. No My my my publishers always like, do you know do you know when they do the forward thing, or like who's like, can you ask Seth MacFarlane, can you ask David Allen Greer, can you ask,

I just said it cause he was 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 do I need you for, if at a certain point, go, I could do all that, but what do I 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. Is that before the Grammy nomination? Now. They're crawling around.

Now it'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 this 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 have the concussions. Well, here's my thing. As I was saying to Dr. Drew in a nutshell, the crux of the thing is I feel football is going to change. And 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, number one, it's the lawsuits from these players. When the NFL knew that there was a connection, that's your 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 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 gonna kill it. Well it's starting to happen. A 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 a lot of Jewish like the other gangsters what's about a boxer oh it is that's a movie gay gangsters want to just know they used to, there used to be opera singing.

Simone. Simone. 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. 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 people. Okay, people okay what happened well they came up they came

up on the lowest on the wrong educated their parent and you know a couple generations later 40 years later there were many Italian fighters where 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, you're educated and you're not going to, 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 difference Powerful in F. 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 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 can cuss 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 fuck out, that's how you win. Quiet as a cup, that's how you win in football too.

You know, this whole thing about, don't hit with, no, it's like this, if Earl Campbell, you talk to any of these dudes, hit that man. How do you make a runner stop? You hit him. No, I know. You hit him, you make him stop running with your body. That's how you do it.

There's, you know, I think Bill Belichick and Tom Brady would argue that Who's a wonderful bill Belichick Tom Brady and Bill Bellamy would also argue that there's probably a little more finesse To it than that, but yes, I agree. It's it's hitting so now you have people and they're doing damage to themselves And the question for a lot of these dudes you see in the NFL is for me, where would you be if you weren't doing this? Yes, you're paying a price physically. But now there's knowledge. I mean, at a certain point, it's just like smoking.

At a certain point, like I can't, people are trying, but I can't go to and sue the maker of cool cigarettes in 2013 and go you lied to me because they didn't because I've known my whole life literally cigarettes are bad. What? Black guys smoking cool? Yeah always. All my baby all my babysitters. Wow. Cause they cool. Cause they cool. Now sit down. No but you know what I'm saying now there's all these players suing them. I do believe I say I believe Flavored cigarette it is it tastes like candy only you know Wait, should they just make one that tastes like grapes and call it black lung

Just go fuck it tastes just like chicken black lungs. I'm sorry. Wait, but wait a minute Yeah, but you know I'm saying the dudes who were playing in the period when the NFL was going. Oh, there's no connection Yeah, there's no connection to put the dudes who were playing when the team doctor said you just were knocked out Get back in the game. They have a case Well now at a certain point you have to go, you know from I don't know't know, 80 or 90 something, from then on, no, dude, you knew the deal. Listen, you brought up cigarettes. It's the exact same thing. And it's the same thing. It's Lance Armstrong, it's cigarettes, it's brain damage.

He's a hero. He never cheated. The point is this. The problem is the lies. The problem is you're talking to the tobacco industry in the mid-80s and they're like, we employ top-notch scientists and they're telling us that nicotine is not addictive and then you get caught. Really what you should be saying is, look, this is America. We're free here. You're free to eat a chili dog.

That's not good for you. And you're free to smoke a cigarette. That's not good for you either. But this is America and that's the land that we've created and we provide a product and if you can complain about the people Who build parachutes or bungee cords or who make chili dogs and put them in the same category as us and? football should have done the same thing because I saw like real sports shit on this thing and like 10 years ago and They would dissect the brain of the lineman and it was like this guy died at 51 you see all this black marks here that looks like a patient in their 80s

and it was abundantly clear but that's when the NFL was going I see no that brain looks fine to me right and what the NFL needed to do at that point is go yes it's a contact sport This is happening and we're trying to dress it and we're trying now And now where they're gonna get themselves into trouble is where Lance got into trouble cigarette companies got in trouble They went oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no That's science. That's bogus science. And now all those documents with all the cooked Sciences on there and all

the doctors they had on the payroll and that's where they're going to get their money because that if they had just said yes it's a contact sport obviously multiple head contacts and injuries are going to have an effect we are going to address it and try to minimize it as best we can. But realistically for professional football players most of them have been playing for 10 years at least before they become adults. Oh yeah. Okay, before they become adults. That's what I'm talking about. Yeah. You know, yeah they'll be small, it's gonna be a different thing. The NFL wants to expand. They don't want to contract. They don't want to be boxing in helmets. No,

they want to be all-, like hot dogs and shit. Everyone played at least 10 years except for that one Nigerian dude who did not know what a football was. Like he does that thing where it's like, but he showed up at the junior college and he'd never seen a football before. Or Manute Boll was like, dog, you got to run down court. Just stand there. He's seven, nine. Take the ball. Put your hand up. Somebody looked at Christian Okoye running a 4'3, 40 and went like, you don't know what a football is? This is a football.

Hold it. Run over that dude who's trying to tackle you. He's like, okay. He just fucking ran. I mean, he just hit you with his thigh. But this is the NFL and this is the problem with the NFL doctors. RG3, he wanted to go in, knew his knee was fucked up, doctor said, uh, yeah, I cleared him to play. His knee got really fucked up. Now the doctor says, I didn't clear him to play. He wanted to play.

Did you clear him or did you not clear him? Yeah. One, you're either ethical or not ethical. He didn't want to get caught out there. Now he's saying he didn't clear him because we all know what happened. RG3 fucked his knee up. He's out for the season. Now the doctor backed up and said, I don't know if he's out for the season. He's out.

That's he's out for next season? No, he's out for a while. Well, that's a while is now but is that the next season because Adrian Peterson had almost the same thing came back led the league in Russia I understand but RG 3 ain't gonna lead the league in anything unless he changes his play He can't do what he keeps trying to yes I've but anyway the point the point I'm trying to say is that the doctor flip-flopped and now all of a sudden It's like well RG 3 wanted to go in I I'm sure he did. Right. But so what's the future of football? Where do you see it? I think it's not going to be what it is. Right now it's America's number one game. They're adding

teams. They're adding more games, putting more on these players. The players are getting bigger, they're getting faster. For you to get tackled by a dude now is completely different. These are 300 pounds, it's like getting run over by a car. They're saying the force of the blow is getting bigger and bigger and faster. But Dag, they say that... It's a cancer that's going to come and just like the black plague, it's going to kill you. I walked out of my house, I don't play football. You know what happened? Someone tackled me. Someone tackled me.

Should the Ravens defense be called the black plague? That's what they called me when I was playing for the Westside Cubs. Here come, tail back, the black plague. Now, but you know what I'm saying? It's a bigger, faster, more dangerous story. I agree, I agree. But in the past, if a guy was concussed, they would laugh and say he got his bell rung. They would see him walking back to the wrong huddle and literally the announcers would be laughing. Well, you were taught, but you were taught as a player.

You still are. Do not show pain. Right. Do not show that you're, when you don't know what the fuck you are. They would give you a shot of smelling salt which I miss in life I'll give me some smelling salt. It's good for what else? Yeah, I give you a shot There was a time when it's just a shot of brandy and a smelling salt and you're right back in fucking in the gunfight in

The game in the marriage whatever it is You're right back in the in the in a hunting of it right in the thick of it Yeah, so they give you some smelling salts. They'd ask you where you were, if you got it, if it was close enough... I'm in Tlingit, Ohio, Coach! Okay, we're playing Cleveland, it's close enough. Put them in. Put them in. So they'd put you back in, and then the damage, the real damage would happen after the first concussion. Now, you're pulled out, and you have to go through a protocol Yeah, so that damaged the secondary damage what our g3 experienced with his knee. He heard it once

He should have finished the rest of the season went out and did real damage Well the real damage part of the concussions is now being regulated to to quite an extent they think Oh, they have they know they have doctors that aren't the team doctor who has to clear them to play. And they had, I think Vic was out for a couple of weeks, I mean guys. And then the bigger question for me is Michael Vic or Ray Lewis. They made millions of dollars in the league. They're probably not going to be right, but I don't know what they would have been up to otherwise. Well, Michael Vic had his whole dog. Oh, he had an enterprise. He had a business, he had a home business. He ran a business from home. Lots of demand for

a dag looking into the medication manuals and pulling out some names. I got to take a piss. You want to do that anymore? I do, I'll do it, man. But I mean, I really do have to go take a piss. I was talking. I'm down it just wait I'll take a break a question about PTSD question head trauma mm-hmm bone marrow who is your hero Adam how do you donate bone marrow I'll tell you second Dr. Drew I don't know too much about that I know where they do it I know how they have the base of the spine pelvic bram usually how, usually. How does the bone marrow, the thing that's crazy is how the bone marrow finds its way to its new host, right? Like, they don't put it into your bone, do you?

They put it into your blood and it goes, it knows where to go? It's like a fuckin' salmon, right? See? Ha ha ha ha! You should be a doctor. You should be a doctor. Look, sit down, stupid.

This is like a salmon. I shove it up your ass. It's going to find its way in the stink bug. Everything would be a fishing analogy. It's like perch, bonita, that's a different species. Okay? You look at your white blood cells, it's like pulling up a Dorado. Okay?

Now that's good eating. You understand? And we're trying to get your your seat Cell count down a little bit that would be like pulling up an amberjack or something I'm a fish fighter, but you don't want to eat them to me bones what you got to do right now I'm saying your regiment is like basically you got to rig your drag line That's what I'm saying and we're gonna see we can gaff a cure on board. You see what I'm saying I'm gonna chum the waters,

but I can't put your rig in the water. That's up to you. I love chumming the water because it is a thankless horrible job. But there's like, I watch Wicked Tuna too because I can't. Drew, you need to work more fishing analogies. I love fishing.

I do, into everything. And it's racist too. And then at a certain point- You're gonna take that big lip jigger Well, give me two jigaboos Put the kikes tank on the on the on the WAP thing Well, come on man, I'll tell you a chink not we'll go ahead and put the cock tank on the WAP thing I'll tell you a chink knot. We'll go ahead and put the cock snake on the WAP thing

Now you know I'll give you a heave knot this says keep it save money Think you could work some cunt bait in there I'm gonna give you a jigger fro knot. Tycoon that on there. Now make sure you make sure if we're if we're going for Bonita you got to do it all the way down to the bottom. That's we're dragging on the bottom. That's we get Bonita. Yes I watch this.

I'm like this is fucking racist man. What the fuck? All right, Dag, you got a whiz. I'll be right back. All right, now hold on. We got some phone calls. When we come back, we'll take a quick break. When we come back, what call do you want to take, Drew?

Drew my concussion story. Aaron? Hey, how's it going? Good. Hey quick question for Dr. Drew. Yeah, sorry

Your brain I've had some head trauma. Dag's had some head trauma but Dag and I travel the country and I do a podcast and basically our brains are doing push-ups all day every day, right? Because I'm constantly doing a what are you gonna talk about on O'Reilly and then what are you gonna talk about on this show and then you got to do this you got to do your thing and then you got to go do stand-up so my brains are constantly working out yeah is there an element where because of boxing because of football because of the junior college and construction if I was still doing

construction my brain would be weaker now than it is If I was still doing construction, my brain would be weaker now than it is because I've been doing pushups for 10 years. It would be weaker in terms of its process and abilities and discipline, those sorts of things, but it wouldn't be more protected against the long-term effects of the head trauma. Yeah, but isn't it the most damaging

is repetitive head trauma? You might notice it more readily when you're trying to function at a high level because you start to lose some working memory or something. Is there such a thing as push-ups or scales for your brain? People have been trying to prove that for a long time and it does not look good. If you were going heading toward Alzheimer's or you're heading toward dementia and you literally just every morning did Peter picked a heading toward dementia and you literally just every morning did Peter picked a peck of peppers and you just did it 20 times every morning

that would not necessarily slow down that process. It doesn't look like it have any effect. The current literature is suggesting but certainly you would notice sooner that you lost the ability to do that because it would be you're trying to do something more well the thing I think I think they one of the Unfortunately one of the Testimonial to what drew is saying one of my dear friends Philip the chugger I've always spoken to you about as being yeah, I think about that think of his neurological what happened to him. Oh my god. He

Was a guy good-looking successful jugg. Juggler. Juggler. But like a professional. But literally rode, you know, could go do some of these comedy clubs we do where the stage is just four foot deep and seven foot wide and could sit on that on a unicycle on that stage. I ride a unicycle and the hardest thing to do on a unicycle, riding a bike is not that

hard. Standing still on a bike is hard. Standing still on one wheel, he could stand still on that stage. I'm good on a unicycle. I cannot do that. Would he do that and juggle? He could do that and juggle machetes or torches. What happened to my god?

Well, he was the best guy I knew like nice guy in the world super good-looking so, you know made money did things in Branson, Missouri doing his thing and all of a sudden and And he used to come out and visit with him and stuff But he moved to Branson and you know started a new life and we kind of lost touch We talk on the phone every once in a while and all that he was just one of those guys He's one of those guys. I didn't talk to you all the time, but he was always there, it's just that's Philip, he's a great dude, I love that guy, I'm always looking forward to seeing him and I just talked to his wife one day and she said, you know, do you know what's going on with Philip and I said no I

don't know what's going on with Philip. Viral, good-looking, blah blah blah blah blah. Get to the point. the point trying to get a fucking picture of the guy up on stage all right Vero good-looking smart I mean I just want you to see a picture of him so you'll know what we're dealing with he did like Bud Light commercials and stuff like that hey she says you know what's going on with Philip and I said no and I said well he's had some early dementia has set in and this that the other and the other. And I said, oh man, that's horrible. That's him doing a Bud Light commercial.

And how old is he? At this point, it's probably late 30s, and now he's in his early 50s, late 40s, early 50s. But I mean, you're seeing here a good-looking guy whose hand-eye coordination is off the fucking charts, right? Doing lots of brain pushups, as you say all the time. Lots of brain pushups, right. So I say to the, you know, I say, well...

Although interestingly, he has some movement stuff going on already there with his gate. Did you see that? Well, I think that was just one of those bad camera... I don't know if that was his act. I mean, you know what I'm saying? His persona. So I say, I say, geez, I say, well, you know, can I talk to him put him on the phone like can I wait? Wait, let me just to be clear

This just started was it a little out of the blue an injury No, and how old was he when it started started in his later 40s, but that happens sometimes I there's a there's a very dear same deal talent there. They are mine Yeah, that guy looks like Matthew McConaughey. That's me. It is wedding I don't know if you have a picture of him and me on stage There is get out of here. That's that's that's the same guy. That's him bent over gray muscular Atrophy, we're in a day. I said so I oh I said can I talk to Philip okay and I and

she said well not no and I said well but I think I think he'll remember me you know I'll talk to him I'll we'll talk about the old days whatever and she said he can't talk and he can't talk it was that fast well it yeah in a few years he went from these word I put my keys to you Can't talk, and I said, well, can you put him on the phone? He said, oh no, he's living in a home. He can't get around. He came out to my show, said, I'm coming out there to do a show, I said, bring him out.

He bent over, had no idea who I was, couldn't speak, verbalized, nothing, and he's dead. Well, remember that happened also to- I'm gonna go home, because home. Yeah, you just took it to wait a minute. I had a friend a woman Incredibly talented same deal Brown the same age top of her game early on set Alzheimer's or dementia dementia, but dementias have lots of different categories But wait many many way doesn't maybe hundreds of she thought from what I heard She thought she was going insane

At first because at that age You don't expect this meaning, you know a director you a million things are coming at you She could not remember couldn't couldn't function the way she should she had no idea. That's the last thing you're saying Oh, I have early onset dementia. She was diagnosed. It was a relief, but the same thing downhill. She had to retire in her forties and was the actor that played Arthur the Dudley Moore had the same thing with super nuclear ophthalmoplegia, which is another form of progressive rapid dementia. And you know, remember there were stories that that he was drunk because of his behavior his behavior or Arthur right but so Philip went from juggling on stage to where's my keys to how many years?

I probably maybe maybe it was four or five, but it might be too dead He's now transition to dr. Drew because Adam you want to start this intervention Because dr. Drew something's wrong with you dude Yeah, so fucked up. You don't know who I am. All right head trauma. Here we go. And and by the way when he died It was a good day because his life I just they they don't see the picture I just saw you're saying that person there how old was he in the picture when he came to see you perform? early 50s Wow, he went from the most virile athletic guy in the world to gone, gone, gone. There's many different...

You can see the pictures on the website if you want. ...virological problems can do that. Many, many, many. Yeah. Many, many. Hey... That's people that... Some of them are infectious, some of them are genetic, some of them we don't know. Shut up with your medicine.

Aaron? I've had it. Just to know it all. What's going on? Hey, I thought Brett Favre's lawyer how to juggle when we were kids. Cut him off. Cut him off. This is ridiculous. No, I want to thank you, Adam and Drew, for saving my life many years ago. I was trying to call Loveline, but I couldn't get through. I was too old. Drew, I talked to you about two weeks ago. On the podcast?

Yeah, Dr. Lisa and Dr. Sue, I was the guy who got injected with heroin when he was a kid. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, my God. Well, here's what happened. I just finished grad school. I had a cumulative of 3.84, but I tend to fail exams all throughout my life. I had early head trauma when I was a kid. I was a pretty good student as an adult, but I failed the final exam, and that caused me some concern. So I got a head scan, and the MRI was fine. I didn't have any damage.

I did have a motorcycle wreck when I was 19. I woke up bleeding into a ditch. I got thrown off the back of a 700 Ninja. And we were running from the cops. I asked him to slow down, stop, let me off and run. And he just kept going. Wait, you were with that Ninja? I was on the back of the Ninja.

Oh, I think it was probably a 600. I think they did a 600 and maybe a 900. Oh, it was a 1985, I think. Yeah, I think it would have been a 600 Ninja, probably a 600. I think they did a 600 and maybe a 900. Oh, it was a 1985, I think. Yeah, I think it would have been a 600 engine, not a 700. OK, cool. That's just me. Dagg knows what we're talking about. Dagg, thanks for taking that potty break.

I had to piss really bad before, too. All right, so Aaron, what's your question? I wanted to know why I have trouble on exams and why I have trouble holding down a job. I have PTSD and depression. I was a boxer too. I was a football player. I was a Golden Globes sparring partner. I didn't like getting hit in the head, so I stopped after a summer of that. I just don't understand if I don't have brain damage. How does PTSD and depression get in the way of my working relationships?

I've had over 20 jobs in my life. Okay, hold on. A reminder that this, I get into it, Aaron, on an episode that's going to air on February 15th, the Dr. Drew podcast. You can get it at DrDrew.com. Gary Heftorne just ran in with that information. Listen, there's lots of complexity to what Aaron's talking about. If you're talking post-traumatic stress disorder and depression, that usually goes along with difficulty with character

functioning, so that is associated with problems interpersonally, problems with, you know, truthfulness and manipulations, and those kinds of things too, or distortions, and so naturally those things can affect your ability to function at work. I don't understand what he's asking really. Well, he's just kind of doing a laundry list of trials and tribulations and traumas. Yeah. You know, I, you know, I'm throwing off the back.

Well, why did you get, he's getting injected with heroin? It's a long story. All right, listen, let me say something. Aaron. Yeah. I'm hearing somebody that has, I'll give a sports analogy Hmm a fishing sports. Let's say let's say Tom Brady was on a tuna boat

Okay, wait, was he the captain or is he? Chummin he's chummin the water and he's going after bluefin Okay. Yep, and we're rigging his dragline and I say to him hey here's what I need you to do I need you to go down into the hole I need to pull up some fish and start cutting them up because we're gonna make a big chum slick here and he looks down to his quarterback wrist brace the one that has all the plays on it and goes, I don't know, because I got thrown off the back of a motorcycle and I landed in a ditch

bleeding. And then I go, all right, well then what I need you to do is go up top and I need you to rig the gaff. And he goes, ooh, he looks at his wrist brace again. He goes, you know, I suffered a lot of head trauma when I was working as a sparring partner for Golden Gloves in the late 90, early nineties, late eighties. Every time I asked him to do something, he looked down. You got a wristband that's filled with excuses.

We've all been hit in the head. We've all loved and lost. We've all done a little boxing and we've all played a little football. And yet we get up and we go do what we have to do. You have an answer slash excuse for everything that you're not doing and maybe it's true but why look in the rearview mirror and come up with reasons

why you can't do stuff. People do this all the time where they go I really can't so and so because of why do you want to go through life explaining why you can't do something. Fuck there's a guy named Superfoot Wallace. Drew, I'm on a roll. Bring up Superfoot fucking Wallace. This guy named Superfoot Wallace. Superfoot Wallace. He's on a roll.

Superfoot Wallace is one of the greatest kickboxers. I know who Superfoot Wallace is. Ever to don the key. Bill Wallace, right? Bill Wallace. I met him. Bill Superfoot Wallace. When I was doing Tae superfoot Wallace. Oh yes. Everett Adon The Gee. Bill Wallace, right? Bill Wallace. I met him. Bill Superfoot Wallace. When I was doing Taekwondo, I met him.

He's amazing. Bill Superfoot Wallace like stepped on a landmine with Rocky Bly or something. They both hopped on the same landmine in 1969. He has a foot that's like no good. But that's all right. Well he blew his knee out and he told me the story story he blew his knee out and he never got it repaired so they called him super foot because he had one good leg and I was like well but now they have you know it's not the 70s anymore now they have like expert

surgeons he's like he doesn't need it he's compensated super foot was like the nine-time aka kickboxing you know IK or whatever it was, kickboxing champion on a bad wheel. Yep. On one bad wheel, he was on, every month he was on Black Belt magazine. Right. So the cover of Black Belt magazine. But he was able to compensate for the bad wheels that you're saying.

Overcome. He worked hard. Now, obviously when a guy's got a bad leg and somebody says why aren't you kickboxing you go walk out a bad leg? What the fuck it's called kickboxing No, he just won championships with the one and they were trying to take him out I mean this is in a time where they didn't have the rules were You know, it was nothing no shit like this that I look like it is now They were trying to take him I've seen those movies with Eric Roberts

That was my instructor Philip Rea it was those Eric Roberts karate flicks Best the best of the best defense now the best of the best NFL team to Rocky Blair play for? Oh please, you homo. The Steelers. I know that. Dag doesn't know that shit. Who is he back with? Who is he?

Part of the greatest dynasty. I don't know, but I do know. Who did he run into at Luxida? Hold on. Rocky Blair, if I recall, he was a dude who had a lot of problems, physical problems. He stepped on a... Vietnam. Stepped on a limb.

But he talked about bone spurs. Yeah, yeah. He came back. I mean, all kind of shit where they cut the stuff out. He could not walk He said he was in so much pain from his ankle and his foot The doctor said you cannot play right operated on his ass. He would play with pain. Yeah. Yeah, that's the way Yeah, I mean if you have it I had bone spurs with an ankle spurs. I mean the amount of pain I'm not comparing the two with the back by the way who if dag and I had a child He would be Franco Harris. Yeah The greatest black Italian. Yeah running back

This is some old-school sports trivia do you remember when Jim Brown challenged Franco Harris to like what race foot right? That's right He smoked them. I don't think they did it but I well there was some shit that it was going on for years Well, we've got this Franco Harris never had foot speed Yeah, it was just a great running back and Jim Jim Brown was like, I'm 55 and I'll smoke your ass Why did they hate each other? Jim Brown was like, I'm 55 and I'll smoke your ass. Why do they hate each other? Jim Brown, well what happens is, by the way, Jim Brown is one of the most pompous asses on the fucking planet.

But he's also one of the greatest football players ever. I understand, but Jim Brown has had some issues with his old lady on occasion. Just one? Maybe a couple. He's the most pompous ass on the planet. Now everyone says, everyone says, well he has a right to be a pompous ass because he's Jim Brown. But there are a lot of great players. Listen, I'll put it to you this way. Barry Sanders is also one of the greatest

backs of all time and he's the nicest most unassuming man on the planet. So Jim Brown a great back with a great huge attitude. I've never, my interaction with Jim Brown he's been great that's all I can tell you. So here's what happened with me and Jim Brown. I came at him right you know you have a lot of people say you have an attitude and you're racist. I was on it I it's racist and attitude by the way. Rest attitude. Rest attitude. I here's by the way. It's not ass attitude. It's not racist. It's attitude. It's attitude. I, here's by the way, here's how you know I'm not really racist.

If I really was racist, it'd be like, if I was gay and closeted, I wouldn't be making jokes about sucking cock all day long. If I really was racist, I wouldn't be saying any. I wouldn't be making all my racist jokes. You mean all of our jigaboo I would feel I would feel conscious about being raised you got a darkie in your bucket so here's give me a nigger toe not it with a honky I said to Jim Brown we're on a flight we're in first class

we came home from New York right and I was sitting next to him on a flight and everyone got up and they said we can get off the plane now and they said no no no there may be a bomb in the terminal and we can you can't leave the plane so we're hooked up to the jetway and everything but you cannot leave the plane because there's a bomb scare in the terminal and I remember sort of just thinking I'm the kind of guy think even if there is a bomb if I just run out Of this plane whether the chance is gonna go off when I'm in the blast when I'm in the kill zone You know it's only about 30 feet. You know so we're just sitting there

We're waiting and it's like been 20 minutes, and I just said to Jim Brown at a certain point. I said look Jim You run down that jet There's gonna be some guy yet there's gonna be some guy from there's gonna be some guy from continental air pan amerson you throw shoulder into him you knock him out take him out I'm gonna break I'm gonna cut off your block and I'm gonna take me my backpack to I mean he goes I don't block for anybody Fucking hilarious, but in his defense he wasn't being funny But the other night I was with my brother my nephew We went to thank God it's shrimp or some shit like that. They just got off the plane

Dude had a lot of beers with his chick. He came over. He wanted to meet the dag from And I was like, I'm with my family I'm having dinner I really don't want to right he just was standing there like this guy Is a dick. I'm like, I'm trying to have dinner dude. I can't do right a picture They just stood there and wore me down. That was okay. All right, I'm gonna take a picture they just stood there and wore me down. They'll say okay. All right. I'm gonna take a picture now I'm not I'm not I'm I think I'm a pretty cool guy, but if you catch me at the airport I know you do. But wait if you catch me at the airport You know in the airport bar, and you're with your your boys, and you're like listen I want you to call my girlfriend and do the crazy scream and I say fuck off. Yeah to them That's an asshole move

Let me get you a for a pick love you, babe. Love you man. Dingo look here drop the shoulder man I know. You should put that in the movie. Just have him sitting there like, I don't block for nobody. That is fucking funny. All right, bone marrow, Drew. Let's do Justin, four. Justin, four.

All right, let's talk to Justin. Justin? Yes, hey, Adam, Drew, David. It's an honor to speak with you guys Yeah, you've taught me so much throughout the years of love line and whatnot But anyway, it's a little off topic, but throughout my adult life I've had three heroes my dad Steve jobs and Adam Corolla However, it's been amended it's been amended to Adam Corolla. Dr. Drew and David Alan Greer Those are my house three heroes.

But Steve Jobs is kind of crazy. I mean, he's brilliant. I could see that as a hero for some people. Yeah, that's nice. And he is an Ameri- Okay, nevermind. I won't talk about it. I know where you're going.

Uh-huh. But I was wondering, Adam, you never really talked about your role models. I know you, Graham Parker, obviously, I know you look up at Dr. Drew, but other than that, who are some of your main heroes? Graham Parker? You talking about the rock star dude?

Yeah, I love Graham Parker. I loved Graham Parker. So here's the thing, and it's a thing, because I was thinking about this as I was looking at your question up there. I grew up in a non-hero family. Like we all like sports. A little bit of a non-hero era too. No. The 60s, 70s, a little bit. A little bit. Anti-heroes. Yeah, a lot of anti-hero family like we all we all like non-hero era to know the six little

seven is a little bit antiheroes yeah a lot of it was Jim Brown we use to me on that flight absolutely disagree I met Muhammad Ali and I will tell I was an adult yeah and talk about brain trauma yeah he was fucked up when I was in dream girls back in 84, but to meet Muhammad Ali

That is the closest thing to meeting In my mind a real live superhero because that's how much of a hero when I was a kid Fuck yeah, man Muhammad Ali. There are a lot of heroes if you had if you opened your heart to them You know, but if your brain damaged well doctor do doctor no let me finish when I was you have post traumatic stress because you bludgeoned yourself with stupidity now I said it mine actually when I was very young it was Maya Angelou there weren't any people like yeah Maya there weren't any people that I identified with you know and I swore it is your vocabulary smuts see yeah that's what I felt I felt like I

had you know as a young woman of color I feel there's anyone I could connect to them away to you didn't have any heroes I you know it's funny it's like there was a couple things and and it's an interesting question, which is, I remember growing up going, George Carlin is funny. That was cool that he was doing his thing. But my family was so, don't worship anyone, including yourself or us, and we're not gonna worship you.

And also, to even think you can do what George Carlin is doing one day. Do not blow that kind of smoke up your own ass. I love Jimi Hendrix but he died so. Right. And then there was Billy Jack. What happened to that actor? Tom Laughlin. Oh my god. Remember when he would take, before he whooped ass he would just take his shoes off. Oh yeah. No they could, there would be a great, I would like to get Jim Brown and Tom Laughlin in a room together to have a blowhard contest. This is champion, you represent the Eastern Division, you're the Western Division, this

is a colossal, this is an Ollie Frazier type, rumbleumble the jungle of blowhards you were the you're the you're the you're the blackest blowhard on the planet You're the whitest blowhard on planet. Now. Let's get together and see the winner Talk down Billy Billy look at me put your moccasins back on Billy Your brain is not in your big toe Billy Billy! Billy! A snap kick is not going to solve anything. Billy! Oh yeah. Those kids need you. The little Indian, the brain damaged Indian kids need you. That was porn for Adam. That was porn. That came right after the box, the chick on the

box at the Big Five. I know, so I tried. Right? Billy Jack. Bernard, I tried. He was such a horrible actor. When I see what you do to these children, these little Indian children, will I just go BASACK! And then he starts throwing his earphones up.

Do you remember when he pushed it, did he push the dude's vet in the water? No, no, he gave him a choice. That's right, that's right. And what an evil name. Bernard. Bernard. Bernard. That's right, that's right. What an evil name. Bernard. Bernard. Bernard. But by the way, he didn't call him Bernard, he called him Bernard or something. Bernard. Oh yeah, Bernard. You ever hear of Jim Superfoot Waller? No. What is that pitch like? What is that pitch like? I'm going to take the inside of my foot. I'm going to take the instep of my foot. I'm going to put it across your orbital socket.

And there's not a damn thing you can do about it. Or you take your 71 big block vat and drive it into Lake Detroit. You and what army? Billy Jack, your hat looks stupid. By the way, it's the blowhardiest move in the world because it was such a 70s thing where it's like everyone was so into Indians, like Marlon Brando and like Billy Jack Tom Loughlin is the whitest blue-eyed guy on the planet and it's like Billy where you been my prayer snake hole on top with running pair like you are a white guy with blue eyes and a crew cut you understand

there's nothing Indian about you. I'm talking about the pitch how did he get money to make that bullshit ass movie? Oh, he made that himself. Oh, yeah. He didn't go in and off. You mean he went in and off and went Okay, the movie's gonna be me. I'm starring in it. I play a half-breed who knows you're chit-chatting I'll be putting my foot on the side of your head. Oh, yeah. Yeah, and it made more money than fucking deep throat Then we got, then we got, because it had some unclad women. That was the big thing. We got, we got that. We big thing we got we got how many times did you see it Adam my mom would brainwash me because every she brainwashed me with Billy Jack and roots because every time because my mom's the whitest person on the planet but we would watch roots and we watch Billy Jack and she's looking me go do you see how we are do you see what we

did to these people do you see what we would say we would go and I must have seen Billy Jack Six times. Mm-hmm. It's just one of those movies and then there was the trial of Billy Jack I saw and then Billy Jack goes to Washington Yeah, and Tom Laughlin is such a colossal blowhard that he wouldn't edit himself Oh the same but the same Denim on denim. Yeah, did him on denim that stupid fucking, you know sitting bullhatchy hat Yeah, and he was off. Yeah, and we saw him kicking his shoes off them if there's trouble in the park By the way, I hated movies as he dag you watch this movie as a black man

I watch as a white man and every time to be like we're gonna bring the hippie Indian kids down to the down to the ice Bring so much and we're gonna get him some ice cream and then the kids would all walk in. By the way, the shop was almost empty. There'd be 18 kids coming in and two adults going, we'd like to have two scoops. We don't serve your kind here. It's like, not interested in making money, huh? What was the Billy Jack theme? Go ahead and cheat your neighbor Go ahead and cheat Yeah, oh my mom was like, you see They turned over that rock at the end and there was no gold You understand?

I know, but when I was a kid we would watch it I knew it was kind of shitty But we would watch it anyway It had a theme song But it pertained to what we were talking about It was such an anti-hero I remember a period in high school But our teachers would go, you kids don't have heroes. There's no heroes anymore.

And there was an anti-hero thing. You like the renegades and the people that were against it. Those are heroes? Yeah, but they weren't allowed to be heroes. They weren't really heroes. You couldn't really admire anything. Yeah. Well, anyway.

Well, also, I came up not looking up to my dad. Like I look I was like you pathetic slob. What an idiot. You're such a fucking lazy. So do you have a hero now? Oh, that's what you want. You know what really? I really the I know this sounds trite. Really the guys who hang in, take care of their families, like do the right thing. Like my heroes are like everyone who just does the right thing, who's not involved with frivolous lawsuits, who's not trying to build the government, who's not like just the people who fucking take care of business, who just go out every day, create jobs, take care of their family pay their bills pay the government like just

Do the right thing like the person that the person who gets rear-ended on the freeway Walks out looks at the bumper and goes. Ah, there's no real damage here. We don't have to exchange insurance Whatever and drive the way but then the two white guys said yeah, we do fuck I will listen you on Adam Carolla then they sued my company and said that they had traumatic back really happened to you. Yeah Must I must have been going Seven miles an hour. It was a beat-up pickup truck. These guys were going to install roof Somewhere, you know in our roof in Laurel Canyon.

And I go, what happened to that case? It wasn't me direct, it was my insurance company. Oh yeah, they sued, they claimed they had back problems, all kind of shit. Sure, because everybody had been their attorneys doing all that crap. Oh yeah, it is. No, but those fucking attorneys. They knew who I was, because they told me. They were like, oh, big fans, we love you on Adam Crowell's show.

So you're not my fucking hero, it's because of you All right. So thanks Justin. Thanks Justin drew you have any heroes? I mean yours are yours are on like Mount Rushmore shit. Like you're like a Thomas Jefferson guy. Dr. Albert Schweitzer Yeah, you know what? I've got heroes sort of in the medical thing like Dan Siegel and thing. Like Dan Siegel and oh sure guys like that. Why? What they do? Because they're fighting the good fight. You know what I mean? They're pushing things forward in terms of what really is important right now I think in terms of understanding people and relationships. Hey Leon. What? What? Dan? You're saying you know fighting the good fight. I went online on Facebook you know my Facebook thing. There was immediate

conversation between certain people I know about how the mentally ill, well, I can't really, the mentally ill were being scapegoated for this whole new town. Well, that's part of the problem is that if you, we don't want at the same time to increase stigma by talking realistically about mental illness. It's really hard. It's a hard line to walk. I get that.

It's not that hard. Who is going to be discriminated against? I mean, what are you really talking about here? No, it's a blaming on you know, because they didn't like, I'm just being a reporter for a second. They didn't like the language, nut job, crazy, you know, lunatic, you know, we all have, you know, when that language is used, we meaning them, you know, crazy, I don't want to say crazy people, you know, mentally challenged people or whatever the fuck.

Right. And by the same token, when you go look, that Aurora Colorado kid has schizophrenia. All schizophrenics don't go kill people. No, no, no, no, no, no, they don't. Very, very few do but a paranoid psychotic violent planning guy because of his schizophrenia yeah yeah but Dr. Drew I read an article about a guy who heard voices yeah in his head yes now he decided to join the I hear voices in my head Group sport group and we just want to live with it. They didn't want to take drugs

Okay, they just wanted to make peace with the voices in their head great And why are you calling us crazy? Well listen there? I'm being serious it was reasons for the voices that. They said so, some of them are nice. They have a group, they're groups for foreskin restoration. I've had that before. And they're groups, they're groups who are against cochlear implants that basically are saying you're deaf, we can make you hear again. And there's groups for the deaf who say that's discrimination because we were born this way and you're actually you're saying something that's pejorative

which is being bad. I'm not normal. There's groups for every fucking fringe everything. I think the point is is we are giving I think what's happened to our society is we are giving everyone the podium for two minutes like it's some sort of Santa Monica City Council meeting where the crazy guy comes up there with all the pins and goes, I'm a veteran of the Korean conflict. And you're like, okay, all right, buddy, relax. So what we're saying is, is sir, can you just, can you just start talking? You're on the clock, sir. Sir, you're on the clock. Just make your point.

You only have two minutes. Yeah, but that's the problem. Listen, if you go back and look at any one of these massacres where the person who's like... Find me Kevin Nealon talking about the elephant, by the way. That's the greatest thing ever. Where they clearly had some emotional problems, they don't talk about it. They go, why did this person do this? No, you know what they do? I mean, I agree with you, but here's the thing. It's like

the Virginia Tech thing. They want- If anybody was crazy, it was the Virginia Tech tech. Right. And they went, where were the counselors? Where were the guards? Why did it take so long? And I just kept saying anyone want to bring up the parents? Anyone want to discuss the parents? Because this kid was batshit crazy. He lived with them. They knew it. It was a culture where they didn't know. They frowned a little on therapy. No he clearly, look, if the parents don't know, it's like if you're- But what can they do? Adam, I just told you, you can't- I'm telling you, they're the only ones who can do anything.

Yeah, but they're tired too. I mean, what can they do? What can they do? Here's the thing. You have a very troubled person living under your roof. That is nature and nurture. That's your creation. There's nobody on this planet who has more dominion over that person or more responsibility for that person than you.

Yeah, but here's the problem. Here's the problem. When that person is no longer a child, once they cross the precipice of adulthood, they have their own wants and motivations. They don't have to take their medication. They don't have to listen to you. They want to go to college. You're not going to stop me. You can get a conservatorship. You can get a conservatorship. And no one, I've recommended that more times than I can count, and no one ever does it. Now why do you think they don't do that? I don't want to be mad at me. I don't want to ruin my relationship with my son and then it's Aurora, Colorado. But do you think that's because they've already been,

what am I trying to say? Exactly. But they really never, no one these days is a weird thing. But also as parents nobody wants to say my kid's crazy. Here's the point. There is that word how do I get a conservatist conservatorship over Adam because I think he's gonna pop you know I'm right hi by the way this is Kevin Nealon we show it every time it comes in there it cracks me up because it's happened to me it's happened to dad he's got a list he's got to live in Santa Monica, right? Yeah, you know, he is trying to save, you know,

bubbles the elephant. And he has one minute to make his point, right? Now, you and I have had that situation a million times where people went, it's a corporety thing, or you're going to bring somebody up or something. And they go, just do six minutes. I just do six minutes. And you went, oh, fuck, I do 90 minutes.

I got six. Yeah, I'll do six minutes. And then someone goes, what are you going to say? What are you going to do? And you go, it's six minutes. I do 90 minutes. You got 60. I'll do six minutes and then someone goes. What are you gonna say? What are you gonna do and you go? It's six minutes. I do 90 minutes You understand just six minutes and you find yourself up there minute two and a half out of shit to say When you take a when you piss in a bottle though, right the top and then cuz I'm texting and driving and they're all Cuz the car I farted in the car, right? But I can't because Thank you Because the car, I farted in the car, right? But I can't, because, thank you, it's my time. I know, we're only three minutes in, Dak. Oh, I like dogs, but when the dog with the spot on it,

it makes, crazy, thank you. We're at three and a half now. So Kevin Nealon has to talk in front of the city council about the elephant in the zoo and how it's being treated, how it needs to be freed. And I know in his mind as a comedian, they said, look, you have one minute. He went, oh, one minute. I'm not going to be able to get in all my thoughts in one minute.

You got to tell a joke. Always start with humor. Watch how long it takes. It's like being in the ring with Tyson for one minute. See how long 30 seconds feels. Here we go. Kevin Nealon and I am not anti zoo but I am anti inadequate zoo and I just want what's best for Billy the elephant and not what's best for the LA zoo and it's.
