Hey, hey, welcome back for another edition of the Adam and Dr. Drew show classics.
I am your host, Big Brother Jake, aka Jake Warner.
My government name.
Let's get it started.
First up is episode 548 that aired on March 30th, 2017.
Adam and Drew welcomed wrestling legend, Diamond Dallas Page to the show.
We talk about his yoga, talk about his career, and fun was had by all.
Check it out.
Diamond Dallas Page was beat up by many, many years of wrestling and so are many other guys
by many, many years of wrestling.
It's probably the most unnatural thing you can do to your body.
I mean honestly.
When you fall for the first time, like you got to fall flat right?
The first thing you want to do is bring your arm back.
Like that's what everybody does.
You start falling off your chair, you bring your arm back.
When you bring your arm back, you're going to whack your elbow or throw your shoulder
out.
So they make you like do like the craziest thing.
Like the guy's on all fours and you bring your hands on his back and
You get your feet up in the air and then you just fall right? Yeah
I remember I went to wrestling camp once with Jimmy and I'm doing a whole bunch of unnatural stuff
Jimmy if you see that bit he got thrown at the end and he got jacked up. He did not get up
He quickly now I felt bad for laughing
It made for good television, but
Yeah, it is one of these things where it is
Unnatural and
People look at it is so this sort of you know violent ballet or something that these guys are taking a beating that's it
I mean, what's what's what's natural about ballet though? Walking around on your tiptoes, man. But it's an art, you know? And really what we do is an art because
we're trying to get you and just get that element of disbelief. Like those two, like
we were, me and Randy Savage, ooh yeah, the macho man, you know, that guy, snapping to
his limb gym. Like he was amazing. And he was a god for years. When me and him wrestled together, we were the feud of the year in
1997. And I'd have people come up to me all the time and go, you know, I know this, it's
wrestling. A lot of that stuff's fake out there. But you and Savage, you hate each other.
I loved him. Yeah. But I hate him on TV.
Well, it's, it's, uh,
It's like the Andy Kaufman thing.
Right. But hate him on TV. Well, it's it's a the Andy Kaufman thing, right?
We want to talk about a group though drew I mean you hear about NFL interior linemen and you hear about the
abuse of pain killers and the life after the NFL and so on and so forth, but I
don't know anyone who has a worse batting average in professional wrestlers in terms of
drug abuse, joint
stress, you know, I mean these guys I I more than it's funny because you think
well football now there's a sport or whatever but you take football you take
baseball you take basketball you take bull riding you take boxing you take MMA
you take any sport and you show me the average guy ten years after he got out of the sport
I don't think there's any guys worse off physically than wrestlers. Well, they first of all we have no season
I'm her being when whoopie had a
These Hollywood squares so I was out for one of those and someone's like, yeah, did he pia?
When's your season when you're off time? Yeah when I'm injured
When you're injured you got take pain kills and go out.
Today, the WW's Wellness, and I'm not blowing smoke, I'm shooting here,
they have the best wellness program of anybody because you can't even take a pain pill
unless it's like, it goes right through them. But back in our day, that's how we did that.
And Jake, in the movie, he's addicted to everything.
One night we're out.
I became like Jake's gopher.
Like I would do it, whatever Jake, because I wanted to learn from the master.
And one night we're out after working and he throws a Percocet in his mouth and he chews
it up.
And I think it's a Percocet, but I'm not positive because they taste horrible, right?
So I said, Jake, was that a Percocet? I'm not positive because they taste horrible right so I said Jake was that a percocet he goes yeah I go why would you
chew that those taste like shit he said goes right into your system I've seen
you take a few how many you taking today I don't know nine ten like not even
thinking about it like that might have been 15 or 20 right and I said why are
you taking so many he said they lose their potency after a while so remember
I'm 36 years old the time I've just started like I started at 35 and a half
I'm thinking I need those things to work and the reason why they don't work as
well because you mix them with the booze they don't work as well because you get
tolerant to them over time and you just have to escalate the dose until you stop breathing and then you die.
So we have a lot of guys going. Diamond Dallas Page basically, you know, how do you keep
the weight off? Well, then, so then it becomes this horrible negative cycle, which is your
joints are killing you. So you can't move, so you put weight on and now it's
more stress on your joints, so how do you keep the weight off, how do you exercise,
how do you get mobility back when you don't have mobility, and so DDP yoga came
about, which I just think is sort of ingenious because that was the only way
guys like you and a lot of these other guys who are essentially bad, you couldn't
hit the treadmill. But you know for me it was all out of necessity because i'm that
guy who wouldn't be caught dead doing yoga the first 42 years of my career in my life period
but when you start wrestling so late i'm the first guy to ice my body no one in professional
wrestling iced their body for years and they're watching me do it put the ice on my knee wrap it up put it on my back
What are you doing?
Taking down the inflammation and they laughed at me. I mean they had played a lot of fun with me on that today
Trainers they got it all but back then when I got to 40 in my career took off in 1996
I was on 270 nights a year hitting the mat and it would be the equivalent of the main event
not that I was wrestling in five six car accidents in a match and my body is taking a serious beating
but the adrenaline of that 22 000 people and just the you're living the dream at a whole different
level and it got to a point where now I'm like top guy in the world and I blow my back out.
I just signed a multimillion dollar three year deal.
I don't get paid if I don't wrestle.
So three different spine specialists told me my career is over.
Now this is where DDP Yoga comes from.
And depression, you know, the whole deal.
But I pull myself out of that because I don't stay depressed. I get depressed, but I don't stay there. I find that way to attitude of gratitude to get myself out of that hole. Okay, what are we going to do? And I was married at the time and she was like, you really need to try yoga. It could help you. She knows how I feel about it. So reluctantly, I went down and she showed me a cup. No, I'm not doing that one. No, not doing
that one. And I find the power yoga. Okay, I'll try that. I can't do anything. I can't do the moves.
Superman. So inflexible at the moment. And I keep doing it though. And I figure out the modifications.
And in less than three weeks, I start to feel a significant difference. I'm doing the rehab too.
And I've had both shoulder surgeries, both knee surgeries.
So I know a little bit about rehab and breaking up scar tissue.
So I mix the rehab with the yoga positions.
Then I throw in old school calisthenics, slow burn movement, because I can't go up and down.
I can't hit the weights.
I'm doing them on my knees, push-ups where I lower for three
Hold for three come up for three lower three over three then go into Cobra in the down dog
Eventually, I got my knees Eventually was three second become five five become ten ten become sets of ten
My body's getting stronger like I can feel like I'm gonna get back in this ring
Less than three months. What is today? No deep yoga. I'm back in the ring.
I feel the same way. I feel about yoga the same way I feel about meditation, which is everybody.
It's easy to make fun of, but everyone would benefit from it.
And we talk to people all the time who are like, I'm supposed to get back surgery or whatever.
And it's like, just start getting into yoga start stretch and start
Start something but anything but just go under that knife the worst thing man
And the Hulk has had eight back operation now the guy who I've been reaching out to today big time though
Tiger Woods one of the greatest athletes we know ever of greatest golfer
He has had bad back problems and he's had three operations
Like if I had got with him before he had that operation
I know I could turn it around because I just know what I'm doing and I've
Yes figured out a way to I don't I it's it's a I mean it's weird
But I do I look I don't have back problems with everybody. We've talked to that has them
I just don't know anybody who wouldn't benefit from this versus
the knife. You had them when you were depressed remember? I did I did have them when I was I
had a combination of being depressed and you know working on a roof all day.
You'd fall off a scaffolding with a power saw. No I haven't I have not had a and I haven't had a
back ailment since I started doing what I wanted to do
That wasn't wrestling doing comedy. So I didn't have to worry about it so much. But boy, there's a couple things with the back
When I was when I hated my job and I hated it with a passion
I would wake up Monday morning at 615 and go I can't turn my head my neck felt like it's's filled with poison. That's what it felt like. People say to me, what do you feel like?
I felt like there's poison in my neck. Like I can't, if you stand behind me and
say boo I have to walk around to see who you are, I'm not gonna turn my head.
I've been there.
And Drew knows I'm not a puss. I have like a high pain tolerance and I was immobile.
And I was young and strong it's just
that's where my mind was at and the second I met Jimmy the second I got in
a radio and second started doing kind of never had another back and I've continued
to you know box and the way those stuff way this stuff is really perpetuated
today is with the painkillers right guarantees it as you said more than two
weeks we were talking about that the other day more than two weeks of
painkillers you're on on. It's game on now.
Yeah, I wouldn't, well, by the way, I was so poor and whatever, I didn't even have an
aspirin at my house, so my neck didn't work.
I just lay back on my futon and hope to die.
Like that was it.
But this, again, like yoga is right up there with like meditation.
Like if everybody just carved out a few minutes every day to do a little this and a little that, we'd have a much better society and everyone's back would be better.
I can sign on to that. But to tell the story about falling off that scaffolding, it's an amazing
story as long as we brought it up. Two minutes. I was working in Silver Lake. I was on the-
Roofer? No, I was just a glorified goon, as they called them. I was just labor.
People glorify construction like, oh, you're working with a master carpenter and you're
an apprentice.
No, I'm a guy who picks up shit walking around.
I just pick up garbage mainly and throw it in a dumpster.
I'd worked my way up to being able to use the tools a little bit.
Of course, they just give you the shittiest job ever and the shittiest job ever was was a house up in
Silver Lake and hillside on a hill so that the the front door was at street
level and then the bedroom was like downstairs you know walk down the stairs
that go down the hill so it's kind of a two-story house and the kitchen was up
on the first floor and they had these cement stairs like steep
Cement stairs that went down the side you could know do you know the stairs that the community stairs up?
Yeah, it looks like that. Those are the ones that Laurel and Hardy were pushing the piano up. Yeah
You could walk down to the street below you if you want to do her a little ivy would stop at a certain point
Anyway, the Stooges had a couple of this
Stairs thing.
They built a scaffolding that not went from the ground up but just two by fours that went
out the window and then a platform plywood seat on it. I was sitting and I had a skillsaw,
the hypoids saw is called, and I had a carburant blade I think it was. I was cutting stucco
above my head. It was a masonry.
So you're sitting in a window sill.
Sitting in a window sill while I was hanging out of it.
Your ass was hanging out the window sill.
Well they made a seat.
Wow.
You're two stories up.
Yeah, my feet were inside on the sill. My ass was outside about two foot.
And I was holding this big saw cutting stucco which is a mess.
I just plunged it, cutting it over my head and stuff just rained and you're covered with
sweat so it just comes down on top of you and sticks to all of you and you feel all
sticky and all.
Stucco has like a wire inside, right?
A wire mesh in there.
Yeah, it's called a lath.
Yeah, anyway.
The thing with no real warning, like it didn't start creaking or anything,
just popped and it just went.
Like the thing I was sitting on just went.
And so I found myself with my feet just dragging down the side of this stucco building and
I knew I was going to land on the cement stairs.
And I knew it was like, it's going to be bad because I was going to land sort of half on
and half off.
Like I wasn't going to get...
And you have a saw still in your head?
I had a presence of mind, but I didn't remember it happened so fast.
What happened was is I went down the building, my right ass cheek landed on the step.
My left ass cheek was in the air, but my left palm went down onto the step. My left ass cheek was in the air but my left palm went down onto the ground
and then the scaffolding came down and I was really quick. I grabbed it and pulled it and
grabbed it over my head like Wile E. Coyote with the umbrella when the boulder would land on him
because I said, that saw's right behind it. It's a big saw. I wasn't wearing any, you know,
card hat or anything. Why would anyone wear that? that but as it turned out I had thrown the saw inside of the house
Which was good, but my ass hurt pretty bad and my wrist hurt pretty bad
I imagine the neck thing was perhaps initiated there, too

All right, we're back with another segment of the Adam and Dr. Drew Show Classics. Up next is episode 560 that aired on April 17, 2017, titled Tim Tebowization,
which the fellows discussed Drew's appearance on Adam's old TV show, Adam Kuroba and Friends Build Stuff Live, and have a pretty hilarious interaction regarding this appearance.
Take a listen.
I'm on Spike tonight at 11 o'clock.
Me and Jen Elfman enjoy that show.
Oh, it's going to suck without me and my wife on there.
Everyone loved that little vignette, Drew.
Lots of laughs.
They liked the toilet seat, to be fair.
They liked a lot of it, I'd say, Drew. Lots of laughs. They liked the toilet seat, to be fair.
They liked a lot of it, I'd say, but lots of good laughs about that.
I didn't know the part, I didn't see you guys film the part where my son plays the whorehouse
music.
That was very funny.
I don't know, you know, certain parts of comedy are sort of intellectually funny and then
some are sort of rhythmic in the way he was playing the whorehouse.
Well, and it was cut right to him perfectly. Yeah that's very funny.
Gary's got a question about... Yeah I just I wasn't there but after you taped that
episode Jenna Elfman was tweeting a lot tagging you and me? No Adam and Steve
Martin. Is there any reason is that some kind will that be revealed when I watch tonight or I don't think so
But I'm not sure maybe she knows Steve Martin
I've never met Steve Martin and I'm not smart enough to see she wrote a lot of nice stuff
but I'm not a not shrewd enough to even know that you know, like like somebody was
calling me a hypocrite and
You have said some
Things about her have you come around now? No, not about her. Oh be a douche. Sorry. No, I've never said anything about her
I've said things about Scientology. Oh, she's not tall just
This is tough didn't it's really difficult, but but I know but and no the my point is this
I'm not good enough to figure out the hashtags and the else is looped in on it most of the time.
So somebody said like, what they say about me, hashtag asshat or something?
Astard.
Astard. I don't even know it's hashtag, hashtag astard until somebody, Gary later explained that they did the hashtag astard.
On the show, during the show they did the hashtag ass tart which I'm on the side of the show during the show they did
No, no, I'm jumping around subjects here
It was me giving me giving like my opinion on Trump or the guy dragged off the airplane or whatever my opinion was
He was not enjoying my opinion on spice or whatever whatever it was. I think that's so you're an ass tart. I
Am evidently commenting on a starts now
Well, no, but I think if the fucktard road runs off the tongue a little better. I like that. Yeah, I agree. Yeah, so
Drew what's going on with you? So I got a couple things
So you the spike thing went well? Yeah, that was all right the spike thing
Yeah, they were dead the Frenchman wasn't very very prominent. I thought some of that was very funny I I agree you go around and film for three hours
They got to whack it down to three minutes and at a certain point
I just run out of hours in the day in terms of like I you're going over and you're going through and
Navigating you know up. Well, you know I have this
Sort of thing which is The stuff the bit was strong. I don't know,
I make my notes on it, but there's a big difference between making my notes on what they're giving me
and going, give me everything you have with the French tile setter, I want to go through it all.
the French tile setter I want to go through it all. That's going to take a little while. And this, since this version is a good solid eight and a half or nine anyway, I don't know
what I'm missing over that, but considering my schedule, we'll just move forward. If something
is hurting or missing or you know, just sort of a four and a half or five now, we got to
go back and show me everything.
Totally get it.
Although what you started with the tile on the door jam goes on to this day.
Oh, what happened?
Remember, you was too flush with the door jam and you didn't like the wood in the door
jam?
Well, you got Mrs. Pinsky spinning.
Really?
Oh yeah.
She didn't know.
She agreed wholeheartedly with you.
And it still goes on, how we're going to solve those problems.
Well, are you going to put casing around the door, Jim?
I'm imagining that's what she's going to do.
Okay.
I don't know.
I don't know enough to know.
I just stay on it.
Everyone just needs to know that in carpentry, when two sort of surfaces come together, it
makes for a bad seam unrelated surfaces or to
Like no, I'll give you it's always this. I mean I always kind of tell people this
You put in your door jam. Yeah, and
Now it's time to put the casing around the door. You never put the casing flush with the door jam you slide it back
Heavy would be a quarter inch.
Weak would be an eighth, about 316.
It's just like a healthy eighth or weak quarter.
You slide it back.
And you pointed that out during the walkthrough.
Right, because if you put it flush,
it just makes for a bad seam.
It'll make a bad crack.
And you could caulk that crack with your finger
or whatever, it'll come back.
It'll just peek through. Vers versus creating a step in a detail yeah you get
to create more detail yeah so that's kind of the rule of thumb so when I was
seeing your jam sort of just flush up with the tile and maybe grout right up
to the jam I was picturing kind of a bad joint yeah so now if you're going
over it with casing that's's fine. That's fine.
Right. So I'm hoping that's what they're going to do. She's actually taking issue with the
tile and how they put the tile in and blah, blah, blah.
Yeah.
And the other thing-
That's why I got out of the business.
I noticed-
Your wife.
And all of her ilk.
Because you're not dealing with anybody else, are you, when you're doing construction?
No. Well, every once in a while I'd say
that... You have a gay man once in a while. Yeah, and the broken shell of a husband where
I'd go, you know, your wife said put down the quarter round, but I think she meant base
shoe, it's much better. You wait till Susan gets home, like, oh, I'm going to go get it
now. No, no, don't do anything. Don't't tell her I said it was okay I mean she finds out I mean it's it's it's it's it's it's about just sit here. Can we just hug?
Can we just spoon until she comes home? I don't want to get into trouble. I don't want anything
I don't know what you're talking about, but I don't want any trouble like I just throw my hands up and come out about
Guys scared to death. Yeah. Yeah, so I literally and she literally knows a lot more than I do
And I really don't know what the hell I'm doing as you well know well
She has to know something and she knows a lot more. Yeah
I was trying to figure out how much time it would take me if I were gonna do the screw Adam
Contest mm-hmm if you needed somebody at the bottom on the show that I would easily easily command that well
I'm trying to think now how fast I could do it because ultimately it's going to have
to, I'm going to have to attempt to best Trace Atkins or whoever's at the top of the leaderboard
and a little competition.
Give me your finger cut off first.
You have to do a little bit of a handicap.
You know, the reality with me is I'm not you know I handle tools for me
It's it for me
It's it's a thought process that I have the advantage over everyone because I know how everything is done
Yeah, and I've done everything but it's not really about how many screws can you sink in a log in ten minutes?
It's more like I see visually
Everything I just see it in 3d in my head when When we're talking about whatever it is we're talking about,
I see it, I've laid it out.
I know exactly what everything is.
Which is, you see it, like a doctor, I guess.
Or a surgeon, you just see.
You know, when I talk to guys and they're going like,
well, you know, we could open up the kitchen wall,
but it's not just about putting a header.
We gotta get down and underpinning, and we could open up the kitchen wall, but it's not just about putting a header. We got to get down and underpinning and we got to, we got to dial in the existing footing
and poor pattern or whatever.
I see every single thing they're talking.
See it exactly.
I see exactly what they're saying.
We'll be right back with more of the Adam and Dr. Drew show classics.

the fellas and they discussed how conservatism gets shows canceled in Hollywood. Here we go.
Jimmy O. Yang is here from Silicon Valley and many other endeavors. Lots of movies coming up,
lots of stuff, lots of heat around Jimmy O. But this is the most important thing in my life to me.
You got to understand. He's rejoining to my two dads I'm serious man I know
it seems like I'm like you know I really kiss an ass when I'm up here but I'm not
but it's also it's okay I literally wrote down I look back like I have a
sheet of like goals that I write like every year and maybe five years ago you
know one of my goals was like get on TV show do some movies and then also get on the Adam and Trues show I I'm not kidding or
you know the Adam Carolla family I am so flattered I'm tickled pink that you that
you said that and I you know I like this idea of sitting down and writing goals
down I you know I have this kind of rich man, poor man
kind of thing that I like to do and Drew knows some of it. And like rich man, poor man, there's
a million of them, but like there's some good ones like owns a sword. And it's like, that's a poor dude
fighting off the cops and his underpants like on pass salts and then that's the rich guy with over the fireplace you know the family crest and all that like
that it middle you know middle of the road you know we're a couple of school
teachers and we drive for tourists they don't own sword you know that's the top
and the bottom. To be fair the rich guy sword is actually forged steel by a
samurai the poor guy sword is a broom handle that he thinks to solve. No, it's something he bought from the army surplus store to protect himself on the street,
you know, because he spent a lot of time on the street, you know.
But I've, so I started this sort of rich man, poor man thing and people would tweet me their
rich man, poor man stuff and it was always like, started off with outdoor shower.
Like that's a rich dude move, the cabana by the pool and everything.
And that's what Adam did outside his mom's garage.
With a hose.
But as I think about lists, lists are the domain of the winner and the loser. If you just think extremes,
because I know people who's like, I'm going gonna write down my goals for 1997, you know?
And it's like, you know, half those people are losers.
And it's like, I want you to just go out and get,
quit smoking, make more eye contact, you know,
all that stuff.
And then they're just right back to it the next day.
Like I feel like they can be New Year's resolution
type things and just go the way the dodo. But there are other people who write
the goals down and go, that guy's on top of it, that guy's sharp. You know what I mean?
It's a feast or famine with the writing down of the goals.
It makes me wonder whether the writing down makes any difference.
I think so.
Whether it's just sort of random.
But it's in the eye of the beholder. There are people who write it down and go out and treat it as a punch list and
go take care of it and then they're the ones that are just doing it so they can feel satiated.
But I absolutely agree with and understand what you're saying but it makes me wonder if the list
itself really has anything to do with it. What it has something to do with is just this guy says I
want to do a couple things and he starts doing them.
What I'm saying is when Jimmy O-Yang makes a list, it's a good thing. When my buddy Ray makes a list, it's a bad thing. You see what I'm saying?
I think the list makes you see the opportunities more clearly, right? Let's just say for the Adam and Drew thing. I want to be on this show, I want to hang out with you guys. So when I made that on the list, and then when I saw my friend Fred Stoller on the show,
I was like, Fred, take me on this show.
So now I have a clear goal, and when the opportunities came, I know to, you know, bug Fred about it.
Yeah, to plug it in.
So it's go to show, bug Fred.
Yeah, you need Fred Stoller to make that list happen.
So this may be the factor that makes every list works for a store
if i had to say that you know we spend so much time
talking always about education and have a half an hour and i have a friend
forget all that
that state just the showing up like you know i had uh...
uh... let's see all i had uh... Charlemagne the God in here. And he's DJ, author, all
around interesting cat, you know. And I sort of thought he was going to come in and start
up with my white privilege and how his black life mattered and stuff. And he wasn't that
way at all. He was just like, I was 19, 18, 19, I was fucking up.
I had no excuses.
My parents were pretty good, educated, so on and so forth.
I was a fuck up.
I was dealing drugs.
That was kind of a mess.
And I wanted to get my shit together.
And I thought about doing radio, so I showed up at the radio station and they sort of said, we don't need anything.
And he was kind of like, for free?
You don't need anything for free?
And then he sort of went to like, they sort of shooed him away.
You know, every business has that person by the front door that's there just to shoo.
It's like when you go into the Costco and the door's open,
you get that big whoosh of air, so no gnats fly in.
There's businesses, it's just radio stations
have a woman who sits there that's shoes,
like, hey, get out of here, go on, get,
you know, and you just go, hey, do you guys need,
go, get out of here, go on, get out of here.
And he just sort of went like to the sales department,
he said, I bet you guys wouldn't mind someone
who would work for free, and they're like,
oh, you wanna work for free, yeah.
And the next thing you know, he's on air, and the next thing you know he's on air and the next thing you know
He's going over to power or whatever and the next thing you know
He's Wendy Williams brings him over to New York or whatever it is
But just just that you know what I mean like that show up make a list go get it like yeah
Never do that too right? It's what I did every successful person
I know did a version of that, but it's
never discussed, is it Drew? We have brought it up a number of times, but not nowhere else
do I hear it. Not any political forums or anything. There's this thing where they go,
look there's the haves and then there's the have nots. But then we never go, well, what, yeah.
So plenty of people have a lot of stuff.
So we just got to kick something down to the have nots.
And it's like, that's not really,
it's like saying there's a lot of A students,
a lot of F students.
So what are you doing with all those A's there, Jimmy and Drew?
And how about me?
I'm D minus F. How many, wait, you get straight A's, I get a bunch of D's, what do you need all those A's there, Jimmy and Drew? And how about me? I'm D minus F. How many do you...
Wait, you get straight A's, I get a bunch of D's.
What do you need all those A's?
You could give me some of your A's.
Come on, give me some A's.
You give me two A's.
You give me two A's.
Now, what do you got?
Well, you got four A's and I'll have four A's.
Two because I got two from you and two for you.
And clearly, O-Yang's A's are because of Asian privilege.
Yeah, obviously.
You can't spell Asia.
But it does bring an interesting point.
Why don't we let the guys have the A's,
and then why don't you bring up the D minuses?
Why don't you bring them up without bringing the other guys
down?
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
But Drew, when I'm elected, I'll tell you why.
You want to know why?
Why?
Because these people who are getting the Ds,
they come from families that don't get A's historically.
So we can't expect them.
I see.
All right, and they're poor.
I see.
And a lot of them look different than we do.
And not only that, you know how you got your A's?
Making sure they got Ds.
Oh, I see.
That's how you got, you guys do know?
Did you not know how you got those A's? I put
my heel in the throat of the D's. Yeah? Lifted yourself up to get the top of the
chalkboard with the rarefied on their necks. Well how else? Well look if you
didn't do it ancestors, grandparents, you know what I'm saying? Alright so now that we've
established. Oh yeah you too, his ancestors? Absolutely. Well hold. Well, we did an old country and we brought into this country.
Not interested in your country of origins or the color of your skin.
Do you have A's? Well, then you stepped on somebody. Okay.
So now you guys who stepped on people to get your A's, right?
Yeah. Or I don't even know if those are your A's.
Your dad could have given you those A's.
I feel guilty already. So far.
So you had this ill fated plan for us to lift these people up?
Mm-hmm. How can we when you're stepping on their neck?
You're right. Okay. So why don't you take a couple of those A's.
By the way, Drew, do you need six A's? Don't you think you'd get by with four?
Jimmy, what do you think, four A's? No, no, no. You need all six, Drew, right?
But you're not paying your fair share of a
Let's some of those days down to the D student. And by the way, you think that's how D students get smarter
You drizzle some A's on them while they're on the ground. I'd does that help them
They taxing A's man. You see there's a new bill coming through, California, which is going to stratify
see there's a new bill coming through California which is going to stratify moving violations, parking, car violations.
Oh, I do know what you mean, but I wouldn't know what stratify meant, but I know what
it means to commensurate with your income.
And I defended it a little bit based on your experience because you talked about how that
was really could screw you up because then you get a warrant and then you get that is that is what's screwing up and I would I
Would definitely be fine with the well, there's two things. Oh
Now I'm getting angry. Oh
Jimmy watch out. He's angry. I
Would be fine
With the here's what you do if you pay this much. Here's what you have to do
but also do if you pay this much. Here's what you have to do. But also, and they're gonna have, they
gotta have categories. You know, they gotta make 100 grand a year plus, 500 grand a year
plus, a million and then above or something like that. They gotta break it down. They'll
break it down a few ways. That's fine. I'll be in the top group. I get to go five miles
an hour faster for every group I'm above. Okay. So I get to go like 95 miles an hour. So you get some benefit
being in that group as well as of higher liability? Well, it's the only...
It's the way... Call your congressman. It's like I say all the time. It's the way every
single facet of life works... Should work. No, works. Not should work, but the government. I'm going to Vegas this weekend.
Vegas is a little snow globe of how everything works, which is you can come into their facility
and play nickel slots if you would like, but you don't get comped a room and you don't get comped
a show and those well drinks dry up pretty quick because you're just there. If you'd like
to be a whale and come in and sit at the high rollers table and put a push a lot
of chips out in front of you, you will get a room and you will get to see
Celine Dion because that's how their business works. They know exactly what
they're doing. The day somebody tells them, hey you got to give comps, you got to comp a suite to
the nickel slot players too, that's the day they go out of business.
They can't work that way.
And then it's also not fair to go, look, the nickel slotter's not getting the room, so
you big whales who sit at the big timetable, you don't get one either because they don't.
That's all for this week.
