The Adam and Dr. Drew Show - Dianne Farr (The Adam and Dr. Drew Show Classics)

Episode Date: November 25, 2024

Adam and Drew are joined by former Loveline co-host Diane Farr to discuss bathroom etiquette and take calls on Xanax, atrophied testes and methamphetamine addiction.

This is Corolla Digital. Recorded live at Corolla One Studios with Adam Corolla and board certified physician and addiction medicine specialist Dr. Drew Pinsky. You're listening to the Adam and Drew show. Yes, get it on. Got to get it on. No choice but to get it on. Mandate, get it on. Welcome to the program and welcome old friend Diane Farr. Hello. One of our favorites. Diane was our co-host on Loveline on MTV so many years ago but we've all kept in touch

and Diane has gone on to great things rescue me California Cajun you see her on occasion kissing outside the lines numbers latest book yeah tons of TV difference between you two right there numbers would be true California Cajun rescue me movie Adam. Diane has twins. Diane has a young son. Diane is married to a Korean American fella whose name escapes me because it's a very escapable name. Remember when the Asians would just go like the guy'd be like, I'm, I'm Kim Chi.

No, no, you're Jake. Now you're Jake. You're Joe. Like I went to junior high with a bunch of Japanese guys. They were just named Fred. But I was like, that's your name? And then they were like, eh. They just gave it to him.

But your husband's name is? Sing, like sing a song, which is even worse. Because he still has the Asian name. The Asian name is Sung. But when he moved here, nobody could say Sung. So he went with Sing. No, the kids started calling him Sing on his block, and it stuck for 40 years. So he stick him with Sing instead of Sung.

It's old school. Well, it's even worse because his actual name is Sung Yong Chung, which all horrifically rhymes. And like when we were having the kids, he was saying my parents... If Adam had come up with that name for your husband, you would accuse him of being racist. Thank you. It's true. And sometimes I accuse his parents

of just trying to end his American experience. And they wanted to give our kids Korean names, which would be like, you know, a middle name. Oh, his parents. And at first I tried to be gracious and say, yes, you can give them any name you want. No one's ever gonna hear it. Did his parents have any, Koreans can be intense,

Korean parents. Oh yes. Did his. I love that euphemism. I wrote a whole book on that. This is very cool this is really feels like a reunion. I've said Koreans are some of the toughest most tenacious people on the planet. And the easiest way to say it is they're some of the most insular. They want to deal with just each other.

That's what I was going to ask. They don't need any other culture. Okay, so here you are tall white chick entering that. How did that go down? I wrote a whole book on it. It was so uncomfortable and amazing. And thank God, I didn't even meet Singh until I was 35 years old so I could have a little bit of a laugh at the whole thing. Because the younger gal. If you run into that at 19, it would have rolled you over and pummeled you.

And I would have fought against two grown people who lived in the tiny little parameters of how the world should be. How far are they away from you physically? Oh, it's so bad. They were in Korea. Oh, good. Until about six months ago.

And they moved here. Ooh. They moved 30 minutes away and they do the traditional Korean thing where the dad really lives in Korea and the mom really lives here and they call that marriage and they visit each other about eight weeks total a year and then condemn Americans for divorce. As if when your husband lives in another country for ten months out of the year for 30 years. No, I'm sure he's never stepped out I'm sure that's been a completely Monogamous relationship and my parents got divorced after 35 years and the first time I met some of the really Intense ants because you know in Korean culture. Everything's about age and gender

It's about the oldest male and his wife and then the pecking order sort of goes down from there. So Singh's mother is one of eight and the father's one of eight. And sadly, they're both in the middle. They have no juice. Let me tell, let me play devil's advocate for a second. Maybe they're onto something here. Maybe we expect too much of marriage. Well, look, I mean, this is the ultimate, you know, I've said to people, you know, when they talk about, you know, keys to success in marriage, I say square footage and two Tivo's. I mean, listen, we've all had the situation where you're living with the girlfriend or

the boyfriend, you have the one bedroom or worse, you know, the bachelor, the flat, you have the one bedroom or worse, you know, the the bachelor, the flat, you know, the studio, and the fucking arguing never stops. Because you're living on top of each other. I mean, you would do that with any other human being. If you and your roommate slept in the same room, and that was only one room, you'd be bickering nonstop. So a little square footage, a little of I'm going upstairs To watch numbers and I'm going downstairs to watch Sports Center Does so this is a this is an extrapolation of that, but it's the ultimate one which is I'm going to Korea bitch

I'm out of here and there ain't a lot to argue about when you're in Korea and she's in Sherman Oaks No a lot to argue about when you're in Korea and she's in Sherman Oaks. No, and you subscribe to the 1950s theory of mom's job is raise the kids, get them the best possible education and sacrifice all feelings. Yes. Emotional, sexual, any. Misses things. Yeah. It's over, Lata.

Speaking of policy, Drew, I need you to know something. And this is part of my ongoing sort of training of America, where I would like us to kind of have a certain protocol to get on kind of the same page, not to turn people into some sort of Soviet lock Soviet lockstep marching you know down the street and saluting the Fuhrer kind of thing but just everyone listen to you or some but everyone listen to me yeah okay let's all just just these robots behave like a great on some some things I'll give you a very good example every time I travel and I do a lot of traveling the drew stop looking at your

phone my wife's all upset about the dogs Focus on me. The dog's got a rock in its belly. Focus on me. Now listen, every time I travel and you use the shower, it's a different faucet. It's a different configuration. It's different from... Worse even than the faucet, the head. It's different from your home and it's different from the last hotel you stayed in. And you have to sit there and try to dial it in. Is it getting hotter? Do you pull it out and turn it? Do you turn? What if they were all just the same and we all just learned them? Oh and then we just travel around. You just want us all to be robots. I see everyone's got to be like you. Here's what goes on. Rich white guy.

You could do worse. What everyone's just pouring black black? Is that society you want to live in? Now listen to me. I instituted this thing. It's actually on the internet. It's a bathroom etiquette thing. It's in my first book. And it's on, I don't know, college humor, something like that. But tell me if we wouldn't be living in a better place

if everyone just got on board with this. Which is to say, look, everyone shakes hands with their right hand. You know, we understand it. You know, we don't meet someone and get confused and start reaching with the wrong hand and then bang hands into each other and then they go with it. That's convention. That's right. That's convention.

Convention. Bathrooms. When there's nobody in there and there's no damage in there, the door's open. When the door is a jar, meaning three, four inches open, enter at your own risk, but when it's closed, pulled shut, that means it's occupied. How many times you've been to a party where you go, let me use the bathroom and they went, stay on the hall, and the door's shut? Yes, you knock. No, you stand outside of it for a few moments and think, oh, somebody's in there. And then what you do is you kind of hover around like, all right, I'm going to go get a Swedish meatball. I'll keep my eye on the door over here. And then at a certain point you go, is somebody in there? Or did someone just shut the

door? And then you knock and then you realize, oh, nobody's in here. They just shut the door. And I stood like a stooge outside the door the rule around here the robots Before the podcast they were all freaked out about it They said no what happened what happened was is we had a lot of people coming through here in and out guests and whatnot Always always always yeah, yeah The word go yeah people a lot of employees and a lot of guests and a lot of the entourage and people like that. People want to use the bathroom, but the door would be shut. You have two bathrooms. You have a boys and a girls' room. Right. Doors would be shut and people would be standing outside those doors. You, by the

way, shut the door and left the light and the fan on and just shut the door. I did not. But somebody did it. Now, which bathroom? The one with the urinal. Because I used the girls' bathroom. I did not use the boys' bathroom. Why? He says with pride. I did. Well, thankfully, because I escaped the girls bathroom i did not use the boys bathroom why? he says with pride

i did, well thankfully because i escaped the wrath of corolla are you kidding? this is something i'm happy to admit to listen so it's one of the robots chris a robot's got a robe maxipata

yes please, please help me here stop i beat everyone down but convinced them that when you're in the bathroom door shut someone's in the bathroom 100% around here. There's no

Jar is you there's no knocking on the door Yes No one has ever knocked on a door here in the last year and a half when a door shut because we know Someone's in there if it's open four inches enter at your own caution That means you may want to let it breathe a little and if the doors wide open Enter with gusto as I do about the light on either way, especially that with the door closed that says somebody's in there door jar Fan on I think I know that's the old warning fairies here Half-tart a full-time. No the other Gary the the is that Gary you don't know the names everyone

What's the other half-tart Gary the full-tart Gary met no i thought i know he may not be familiar with the rules once i instituted this now zero confusion around the bathroom right no one's ever knocked on the door no one ever got the super embarrassing excuse you when someone banks on the door near in their so somebody shut down our right to fault are gary yeah he's been lookingking around here. He may not know the rules.

Lurking around the bathroom. Why don't you put him one of those things? He has been around. Yes. I saw him. You know when you're going on a set and there's a red light that says, I'm filming? Yes. You could put one over the bathroom door with a little siren.

Nobody on earth would do something like that. Except Adam Cronin. No. Because if it really made life easier for you judging by your logic on life you would just do it i am doing that for my air compressor in the back which can get kicked on it's a long story but yes i do do that for my air compressors but this i can simply educate slash inform everybody of this policy everyone adheres to it like they would in the Korean culture yeah now it makes it very easy on everyone and not only does

it make it easy on the person outside the door but it makes it easy for the person who's inside who doesn't have to experience the banging on the door when the doors closed everyone listen to me winwin. I'll show you. Have things changed since you last saw us? I cannot believe you're still not killing each other. We love each other. You know something right? We love each other. What are you talking about? Here's to college humor by the way. Here's the thing they've done and again it will work. Oh my god. Oh no. Hi, I'm actor-comedian Adam Carolla, and now celebrated author of the new book, In 50 Years, We'll All Be Chicks.

Today's lesson, bathroom etiquette. Did you know that peeing on the toilet seat is essentially the same as peeing on a co-worker's ass? Come on, man. While 95% of Chad's whiz may have found its mark. I want to know about the other 5%. The collateral whiz. Yes.

Chad, do you think I like sitting in your whiz? No. Well then why the fuck wouldn't you lift the seat, Jack Stick? Well it's five minutes after nine, which means people have been at work for approximately five minutes after nine, which means people have been at work for approximately five minutes. And in that short period of time, Mark has managed to sh** up the entire bathroom. What Mark should have done, is done is offloading at home, before he came to work. Sorry Adam, I really had to go man.

Mark, you've been employed here for eight years and you can't get your bowels in order? Get the f**k out! But I'm bowels in order? Get the fuck out! But I'm in the middle of- I said get out! I'm serious about that. You've never been in a public restroom while someone was on a cell phone. You've maybe experienced this awkward one-sided conversation. Hey, how's it going? Going good. Just making a few off the old Lily. Hey, am I on the phone.

Oh, I'm sorry. Can I see that for a moment? Excuse me, my phone's about to break. What? You did not do that. That part. I did. You did not. In your head you did. Have you ever seen someone do this? Sorry, I just didn't want to touch anything with my hands. Well that's great

for you Jackie Chan and a can, but now you've managed to get the urine off the floor and onto the handle that I have to touch with my hand. How would you like it if I peed on your hand? But didn't issue kind of wipe off anything bad. Cup your hands. I said cup your Cup your hands. I said cup your hands! I'm serious. This is a documentary. But now you know the tension. Now what?

When the bathroom's not being occupied, please don't close the door. It's confusing to the rest of the people at the party. If the door's closed, that means it's occupied. If the door's open, go on in. And if it's a jar, that means enter at your own risk. I'm at a Corolla. I should never have that. And that's bathroom editing.

You can't tell people they have to offload at home. If you're offloading at home, the caution should accept an emergency. What I'm saying is everybody drew your position. Your bowels sort of get on a schedule. We all know. Offload at home, I got it. Once, now look, if you're working,

eat nights and they shift you to mornings, and I'll give you two weeks to acclimate. But I know people that would literally just eat breakfast at home, come to work and shit. Why are you doing that? Do it at home. Because they have wives. Yes.

They'd rather shit around the Corolla and the robots. Really? That subject their wife to that who would make them go down the street to the 7-Eleven. You see what I'm saying? No, no, no. Nobody sees what you're saying. And why have a caution signal if there's no offloading at work? If that's just for emergencies, right?

Listen, like I said, you could be new to the schedule. There's no, there's no, and this is also for parties and things like that. Okay. Yes. I'm so glad you're married. Thank you. These rules would, you'd never get laid with these rules. I'm trying to help. I am trying to help.

Drew, nobody's wife forces them to shit at work. What are you talking about? Yeah, but nobody's boss can force them to shit at home. Like, what if they only have this much time to have breakfast and then by the time they get here they have coffee and... It's a constant... Listen, wake up 20 minutes earlier. Instead of habit, get a bowel habit. It's a courtesy to all you work with. Look, there's the occasional, you know, burning

the midnight oil and all that kind of stuff. I give you the occasional. There are mitigating circumstances. But in terms of a general bowel schedule, do it at home. You know, I know there's so much more to be discussed with the robots colon than Adam's bowels. Diane, what have you been up to the last couple of years? How's your life been? Everything good?

Raising kids? Okay, I'm glad you asked because we should discuss the curse of twins, and are we allowed to say the name of the place that I met you all? It was a talk show, and the three of us all worked on it. Lovely. Yeah, yeah. Yes. I said that at the beginning of the show.

But we all have multiples. Not only do we all have multiples, our radio producer has twins too. Oh, yes. So it's all the way down the line. Now is that a function, did you have any fertility treatment? No. I had one child who was nine months old and got accidentally pregnant.

What doctor in their right mind would give someone infertility in the same year? I had two pregnancies in the same year and then they're identical as well. Oh, God. So I have three kids that are 16 months apart. You, me and Anne, at least were the product of fertility campaigns back in the 90s when multiples were a little more common in fertility campaigns. So that might be some of the data here. No, I think it's the fault of you two. It's us, the curse of love life. The comedy, Adam, is she used to come to the kids' birthday

parties and stuff, and they were like four and five, which bring her mom. Like, oh, it's so much fun. It's so easy. It's so cute. So cute, taking care of triplets. I'm like, no, yeah, as I am. I just said to Drew, I'm like, now I think back to Susan at that time. And as an adult, I'm like, oh my God.

You realize why she was nuts. I understand. I see the whole thing. I see the whole, I remember I called Drew once I started going to this preschool and realized where I wanted my kids to go to a private school at the time. And I was like, that's where Drew's kids go. You'll never remember the day. The day his kids got in the school, there were two in and there was one in another school.

And he was beside himself. He comes out on the stage. He's like, they got in the school and it's great and it's amazing it's nothing to do with Hollywood it's great academics and you and I are like they have the same teacher for 12 years we have no kids we have no significant other we had like no clue I couldn't fathom being in the same school from K to 12 yeah well you can't you couldn't fathom a parent's taking attention to the wear of something like this. Burning calories.

Yeah, burning calories. Diane just didn't give a shit. Diane basically has triplets. I have worse. What I say is I have Irish triplets. And I was just saying to Drew, I think it's worse because of the stair step thing. The one year difference is worse than doing the same thing twice. The only thing that was the absolute terror

of the twins for me was because they're identical, the teething, because no one warned me that they have the same teething pattern. So you could work out one for three hours from one to four and you have like between five minutes and two hours till the next one starts. For two years. This one needs to come on Lynette's podcast

and do the parenting thing. You gotta come on the parenting podcast. Yes, and you should also invite on as guests all the heavy set Latino women who clean our houses, who have nine kids, and explain them the horrors of trying to find a good nanny and a decent tutor, and a good yoga mat. And just see their hearts open see the

look in the eyes of those Guatemalan women see the compassion their kids bring their kids bring all nine other kids in and talk about the apartment with the one day today with my two lovely ladies. Two lovely ladies. That's what I'm saying. Two lovely ladies. Throw money at the problem. I've told people say, I mean, it's the God's honest and it's why you should wait in life. Not only should you wait for emotional reasons, you should have your head screwed on a little better than you probably had when you were 24 and I had when I was 24 because you're shaping

another life here. You have a lot more wisdom and knowledge, education, things like that. But the square footage and the actual finances, the idea that you can pay a human being to come into your home, look after them, do this while you go off and do other things and come back. And it's not, it's weird, but you know, this thing where it's like, oh, so you're essentially taking these kids and you have a rent a mom or rent a dad or whatever. I don't feel that relationship with my kids at all. They have a nanny, the nanny helps tremendously. I

couldn't do what I do without her. My wife couldn't do what she does without her. And in a no way, shape or form, it affects our relationship. Like weekends are spent wrestling around on the bed and watching TV and that kind of stuff. And it's not like, where's the nanny or any of that. It just keeps people sane. Hey, Matt, we're changing the name of this show from the Adma Drew show to a rich white guys wine. That's it. That's it. I feel so weird. We do these podcasts now because this is, you have it in your head.

Stop banging the fucking mic all the time. What's your jack hole? And listen, I'm being realistic. I'm telling you that raising kids, especially multiples can destroy your life or It can be an enjoyable and your marriage or be an enjoyable experience. And be dangerous for the kids too. Yeah, depending on, look, let's just do the math. Nine kids, one bedroom, we got some trouble there. One kid, five bedrooms, were doing a little better. I'm not saying it's all about square footage in two Tivo's, I'm saying

we had a night nurse when we had our twins. Without my ability to pay the night nurse, that experience would have been much more difficult than it was and I, who was doing morning radio, would have had to get up constantly before I was getting up at 430 in the morning anyway to do my job and it would have made me worse at my I would have been bad at my job less effective at my job. It's true I think I must add is the non white male that I too had a night nurse and I too started work at like four or five in the morning on a series yet I got had a night nurse. And I too started work at like four or five in the morning on a series.

Yet I got up at night with the night nurse, because I think that's the difference between motherhood and fatherhood, and I couldn't get over the guilt. And the night nurse would yell at me. Hold on, you're trying to fuck the night nurse? I'm confused. I put a camera in the cradle. So I could see the delay in what was going on and this woman would come in

with this wonderful accent and be like why do you pay me all of this money to put on the camera and stay awake in your bed and I was like well if my husband had a car accident and was in a coma and I walked in the first day and the nurse came in and said I'm going to take care of him and I said great I'm going to get some coffee I'll be I said, great, I'm going to get some coffee. I'll be back in like eight hours. I would be a bad person. Why is it fine that I know you for a day after an hour long interview and I just trust that you take care of a five day old baby?

She's like, what do you think is going to happen? I said, I think he could die. And she said, you have to go work that out with God. She was like, no camera, don't come in the room. I stood in the hallway for about the first. She was sexually abusing the kids for sure. Shut up. For sure, and smoking.

For sure, smoking. Worse, crack, crack, crack, and smoking. And it would be the fault of all of us if I had that in my head from the years of, yeah, my mother left and when the babysitter was there, her boyfriend would come over and... Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right. I like this countess you employed. I'm trying to figure out the accent of what it was.

Oh my God. She's fantastic. She's the meanest person ever. I agree with her, which is you have me, and I agree with actually both of you in this particular case. And you know what? Sadly, her God thing was right because it was a question of faith. It wasn't a question of faith in God, it was a question of faith in humanity and sort of my child's experience and why she's there.

It was just like, go with God. Take a deep breath in and let it go. I never really did it on the first child, but by the time the twins came and I still had the third. You had to survive, yeah. It was survival, but it's still a battle. And some of it I think is my own head,

and some of it I think is coming from a house that didn't have any help. That you never fully relinquish that you're doing the right thing by leaving. Right. You grew up in Brooklyn? Yeah. I think at a certain point, like for me,

I just would do a sort of a relative thing, which is these kids are doing better than 99.9% of human beings on the planet not only right now, but that have ever come before them What do you mean in terms of? vaccinations safety You know the cut first off kids born today Basically first started it started off with a wolf could come in at night and Drag you away and devour you okay

So we we've checked that one off the list and then it came to well smallpox and things like that Typhoid all right, we've checked these things the most common thing childbirth childbirth So we've checked a lot of things off the list and now we're down to how much radiation is the TV set putting out. Which isn't, I'm going to say now that's us just being superstitious natives and trying to push ourselves back a couple of thousand years. I think some of the autism people might want to throw some of the things that we're doing. The link now is with men being too old. That's the first scientifically, and that makes sense.

We're superstitious natives. The point is this. The kids, your kids, by virtue of your tax bracket, the color of your skin, the neighborhood and the time you're living in, are better than 99.9 and the nines keep going for a long time than anybody else in human history, not just today. So you have to sort of sit back and go, that's where they're at. Do they have, do we have to add a fifth nine past this digit or can we stop here? Because we can roll them in bubble wrap and put a hockey helmet on

them and put water wings on them even if there's no swimming pool and add another nine to this nine, the nine nines that are past the digit or we could stop at 99.9999. 06 I hear you and I was a big fan of Blessings of the Skinny. I don't know if you ever read that book. It was fantastic about like let them fall down, let them get hurt. This is the point. Like, you're not here. Adam calls that the sewer rat philosophy. Oh, yeah.

Not that bad. Like, I can't stand in the hallway and make sure he's breathing all night or I'm defeating the purpose. But most of the people that live in my tax bracket that are my color that go to my kid's school are the kids that are going to give my kid the eight ball of cocaine. Those kids are much more worrisome to me than my housekeeper's kids. Yeah. Yeah. So I'm not talking about the kids. I'm just talking about your kid at the age they're at when you're standing outside the door. Yeah. There's no threat then. I feel like

it's practice for when the threat is coming and by then I might be exhausted and not care anymore. You'll be strung out from state. Well, you'll probably go the opposite direction which is I spent three years standing in the hall. I'm gonna go take the next three and take a nap. Take a spa day. Yes, a spa day which I now call set. I'm just gonna go to work. Yeah. What are you working on by the way? I'm working on private practice which will be done by the time this airs and I sold my book as a TV show to NBC. Oh nice. Yeah. How come everyone sells a book?

How come I can't sell a book? I don't know how that works. You know books, right? You know, Cracked almost got sold as a TV show. Kind of. Almost. That'll send the kids to college. No, but I mean, I saw the process. We're spending some of that almost money. We're going to Maui. Listen, it's you and me, dude. I'm going to Rolls Royce with this almost money? You and me actually getting a TV show to air? Is that possible? No. Come on. But I saw the process.

I'm done trying. But I saw the process is what I'm saying. I saw how it happened. I didn't expect it to happen. But I saw the process is what I'm saying. I saw how it happened. I didn't expect it to happen. I just saw the process. It's kind of interesting. All right. Should we take a phone?

No. You know what we should do? We should take a break. Let's take a quick break. Dan Farr is here. And then I promise, as soon as we come back, we go to the phones, yes? Right after this. Hi, I'm Larry Miller, but in a way, aren't we all?

And this week, on This Week with Larry Miller, we ask two dramatic questions. One, what is show business? And two, who has sung the entire song, 99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall, all the way through to zero? I have, but there's a better story to it. We'll see you here. All right, back with the program. Diane Farr is here. Kissing Outside the Lines, the name of the book, paperback available as we speak on Amazon.

And again, if you're going to go to Amazon, what do you do? Go to adamcroll.com and hit that Amazon banner, hit the Drew Adam banner, whatever it is. Let us wet our beaks. Diane gets a book sold, we get a couple of, couple of shekels in our pocket. And for you, no big whoop, you just support the pirate ship. All right, call.

Yes. Quick question before call. You and I had the whole Lance Armstrong conversation. I meant to talk to you about this podcast ago. Any different feeling after the Oprah interview? Oh. Did you watch the Oprah interview? I did, I did.

I didn't watch it. No, I'll tell you my different feelings about him. Because we were saying, is the world a better or a worse place? Because he admitted it? No, no, because of him and the world. He did so much good, but he lied. That was a good argument.

Yeah, and we were just saying, maybe they're being too tough on him, but, so go ahead. Well, I have a couple of thoughts. One is, I just put you into, are you helping to pull the wagon, or are you in the wagon napping while I'm pulling it? Like I've just taken society, I've just broken into two pieces. Do we need you or don't we need you? Are we better that you've been born or would it have been, we can all agree Charles Manson never born, probably a good day.

And Bill Gates, good, nice that he was born. All right, so there's your two extremes, and then we all land somewhere in between, and there's a couple gray area members in my family, for instance, we could have a debate on it. I could tell them I'm in a good mood, so you're lucky. You've lived, but we will reconvene next year this time in this undisclosed location. But the point is this, I feel ultimately,

just for the amount of tax revenue he's generated, good. I've subsequently heard that he did a lot of bullying people, you know, threatening people and telling them I'm going to ruin your career if you do that. And did ruin their careers. And possibly, although having a career ruined riding a bicycle is an interesting career to ride. That is an interesting part of the story. We really don't know what he did to those people. I'm sure he was a prick.

I'm sure he threatened a lot of people. I'm sure he did what unfortunately a lot of people do in these positions. Like you hear about guys like everybody, let's put it, I'll put it to you this way. Everybody who hosts a late night show has a couple disgruntled troops underneath them that go, he's moody, he's bossy, he's whatever, he's a bully, you can't come in his office or not got yelled at for going in and out. That's because he's the boss. He's got so much on his mind.

He's trying to run this huge endeavor. He has 200 employees. He's not going to be in the best mood all the time. And now there are guys that are maniacal assholes, and there are guys who handle it a lot better than others. But there's always, when you're the top dog, when you're the boss man, when you're the leader of the team, when you're the general, there's always going to be a couple of pissed off privates in your army.

That much I know. But that's different than using legal system to bully people. Right. That's right. And all of your money and authority and gain that you have from lying. Even going after the newspapers. So what do we do with that? What do we do with that piece?

Look, I look at it as, I look at it like, not a saint. I don't even know if he's a good person, possibly a bad person. But ultimately, I go, I look at my kids, I look at my community, I look at ethnic cleansing, and Darfur, I look at problems like, real problems, and he doesn't fall, whether it's, look, General Petraeus fucking around with his biographer, or Lance Armstrong fucking with a newspaper and threatening the guy, it still doesn't really fall under my umbrella of real problem. People don't go after newspapers who threaten and bully with spurious stuff Yeah, you know what I mean? No, that's a system would be sort of question Of course how many things have been written about to and me as well

We're not only our meeting or misspelled but just call look I I can't tell you how many stories start with me to just start with unfunny comedian Adam Carolla like What? start with me to just start with unfunny comedian Adam Carolla like what and then and then starts getting into a lawsuit or something but it's like why are you starting with unfunny comedian? Well they start with hyperbole and distortion and sarcasm so the whole matter what they say is sort of through this prism and it's holy and cruel. Nobody's coming into my house and trying to do anything to my kids yeah so there's a part of me that goes not a real problem

And as far as whatever Lance Armstrong engaged in for me not a real problem for the Relatively few that he affected in a negative way. Maybe that's possibly a problem Even even that I would argue not a real real problem Because we've all been fucked with and we've all been screwed over and we've all had our bad bosses and bad Whatever the only thing I think is that people that trained their whole life to compete at this they're athletes Like they worked their whole life for this place and he said he said not only a bar that was unreachable I think you could kind of give it a wash for how much money raised for cancer. But then in the defiance of people saying, but this isn't right, it's the bullying then.

Well, I'm assuming that everybody at that level that he was at engages in some form of that. I don't think that he had. He may have done it better than they did but I don't believe he had an advantage that was so significant just because everybody was running running that at that point like they're there they set up rules in NASCAR there's some guys who do certain things to cheat the rules a little bit and they have a little advantage but but it's minuscule.

And maybe it's just enough to win, I don't know. Still cheating. Oh, but look, it never, if you set up an environment that's competitive, and then you put money at the end of that race, whether it's greyhounds, horses, human beings, or automobiles, somebody's gonna come up with a way to try to, or it's the IRS. Somebody's gonna try to, or it's the Jewish religion. What? Shabbos goy. He

was just taken over by Mel Gibson. Explain. Shabbos goy. I think it's, is it going? Shavaskoi. Well, you're Orthodox Jew. Yeah. And it's the Sabbath. It's Saturday, Friday night after the sun goes down or the moon comes up, right? Yeah. And you want to do a load of laundry, but you can't because it's plugged into the wall and there'll be no operating of anything that's plugged in the wall for 24 40 get around this I see hire a blue-eyed guy from Iowa and he'll come in and he'll turn on he'll turn on your washing machine for you and you will be you'll be completely fine in the eyes of this is all issue or this is the way people maintain the virginity by technicalities. I'm saying anytime you put, I want this in one column.

In a big way. I want something in a big way. And then, but you can't because we're going to figure out ways to get around these things. And like I said, it's in religion, obviously, you hire a guy to flip a switch for you in your house so that you're good with God. And you look at the tax system, I mean, that's all we do. You got a dollar, the government wants you to tear it in half, you'd like to tear it into a third. How do you keep more of that? Well, let's, oh my home, oh yes, it's work out of my home office. Of course I do. That's where I do most of my work. Yes,

deduct that and deduct the pencils I bought for that. That's how we're wired and you do a bike race where there's ten million dollars at stake. I guarantee a lot of people in that bike race will be engaging in some behavior to try to give themselves a competitive edge Whether it's the shape of their helmet. I mean people could go look at that guy's this aerodynamic helmet He's cheating the win his aerodynamic helmet. The other guy just has a regular skull cap. Why is he but well, that's an advantage He's used technology. He's used whatever and then people go well There's no rule that says that guy can't wear an aero helmet.

So he's just beat, yeah, but you go, yeah, but let's talk about the spirit. The spirit is you shouldn't, uh-uh, doesn't say, it's not written down anywhere that that guy can't have an aero helmet. So he puts on an aero helmet, swimming. They have a fucking swimsuit that can reduce friction in the water by.00. Are they they cheating so if I find a dog that can ride that bike

It doesn't say in the rule book that a dog can't Kick field goals and it does no I'm just saying yeah, we as a country give our athletes For instance the best equipment they can possibly have Bob's letters we build the best equipment they can possibly have. Bobsledders. We build the best fucking bobsled. And maybe we have an aerospace program that's better than your husband, Korea, his mother, Korea's, as.

And so we have a competitive advantage. We're using everybody, is it cheating? Well, now that thinking goes all the way down to, well, your kids had an edge because they were raised in a certain environment and that they turned out to be... That's right. We never stop. It never stopped.

You did that with your kids. But that's not what this was. I know, but it's an interesting... There is a significant rule that says you can't take your blood out of your body, fill it up with oxygen per second. Right, right. And then he's asked again and again and again. Oh, well, of course you lie you have to lie, but I think the one person did the guy came in the guy came in second

completely clean Because that's then to me. That's an issue. I Argued that the guy came in second did some version of This as well. That's sort of the reputation of cycling. Yeah. That's the reputation of cycling. That's the reputation of sports. But I think the thing is how he handled the lying. I think that's the only thing he has. We have a real thing about cover-ups that we really will not tolerate. Which makes him, in my mind, not a good person. I don't want to I don't want to date the guy I want to date the guy but not part of the problem for me not it doesn't fall under my like oh we need to eliminate this right I think he did enough for cancer research to get a

hall pass on anything he paid enough taxes to get a hall pass for me good person but fine there's people want to destroy him they want to be on the streets there's a lot of guys who won World War II who were bad people.

They might not have been you know, I'm sure general Patton wasn't a good dude Sure, his wife wasn't a big fan of the guy, but do we like that? We have general Patton. Yeah Overall big picture. Yeah, all right no argument

Challenging it's all very I'll take it listen. I'll take the fucking tax money. That's all All right, you got a call. Let's just do it. It's great. They're between men and women you don't like him on an emotional No, I think we're saying the same thing like we'll both give him a pass for what he did But we don't think he's a good guy. Right, but you're less willing to give up the fact on a more emotional level of what he did. No, it's not what he did. In my mind, he's the bad guy in somebody's story. When some dad is telling his son the difference between right and wrong, he says, this guy did this awful thing to me. I trained my whole life to be on his team,

to be on another team, to be in this race, and this guy broke the rules, so that's the bad guy. He's the bad guy in somebody's story, like Patton or anybody else. I'm just leaving him in that box. That's a very micro, not a macro thing. Like there's nine guys he affected. But on the macro, we both agree that he's okay.

Right, and that's all I give a shit about, because I'm not a cyclist. But he's going to pay a ton. He's going to lose a ton. But does the mob have to tear him to pieces is the question. I kind of feel like he tore everybody to pieces in his way. Everybody. I don't know one other cyclist's name.

I know that 10 people tried to take him down and went on 2020 and went on this and went on that and said he definitely doped. And he eviscerated them with the money that he made. But you never heard, but you didn't know a cyclist before Lance Armstrong. True. And we didn't know what the Tour de France was before Lance Armstrong either.

So the whole sport I would argue is benefiting. And I know the name of his charity as well. There you go. I don't know the name of any other cancer charity. Alright, someone's horny. It's challenging. It's very challenging. It's not that challenging to me.

I don't give a shit. Alright, let's go. It's challenging. It's challenging. It's one of these great things again. People want to go all bad and all good. Would you be challenged if we were in a country that was looking for clean water? No.

Okay. There you go. I don't give a shit then. I don't like that idea that he cannot make all this sponsorship money. I don't like because you've just removed 80 million bucks from our fucking tax base that we need desperately. That's my whole thing. I billed him up just to fucking take his money. That's my feeling.

Jade? Hello. Hey Jade. Yeah. Hi. Hey, what's up? So, I have a question. Yeah. I'm 19. I am still in high school, but that's a whole other story.

Well, hang on. Maybe it's important. Why are you still in high school at 19? Drew and Diane's in-laws would kill themselves if any of their six kids was 19, calling from Florida, so everyone sitting down is still in high school. I got sick when I was in my freshman year and I was in the hospital for six months. Sick with what? Now I feel like an ass-wife.

Sick with what? Pregnancy. I had a varian cyst and also I wasn't able to eat for a while, so they had to kind of regulate me and get me back to normal. Uh-uh. Drew Swales. That's not six months of medical hospitalization.

No, I was in and out of the hospital for six months. Medical hospital. Yeah. But anyways, so I am talking to someone who's three years younger than me Yeah, and we've been talking I guess since September and He doesn't really act like he's 16 at all. He doesn't look at either and 17 in three months We We'd run a relationship because he feels that it wouldn't go anywhere since I'm older and I'm leaving the state

When I graduate why? Why Why you leaving I'm moving to Seattle why for college, okay? Wait, what college we talking about huge it sound on University of Washington All right, all right, so you're leaving town he's three years younger than you It's not gonna work. What's the law in Cal in Florida? What age does someone have to be to have sex? Um, I believe it. Okay, you gotta Um, I believe it's okay. You gotta

Believe it on your friend's computer though, but what are you calling about? Don't use your own? Okay, I found out the hard way. No, we're not gonna be in a relationship or anything but I do enjoy spending time with him and we haven't had sex yet and I'm just trying to decide whether I should or not don Don't, because you'll get attached to him at a deeper level. It will make leaving and going to school much more difficult for you. Don't do it. And he's ambivalent. He's a lot younger. It may not be even good for him.

Don't. Simple. Let's hope he's not listening to this podcast because he would have snapped a pencil. That's something from one of Diane's TV shows. He snapped a pencil. Why are you walking your dog with earbuds on and holding a pencil? Don't worry. Stay out of it.

Stay out of it. And then he just snapped it. He just snapped that pencil. All right. Interested in a girl. Here's rumors about her. Parties, hooking up, complications, vasectomy. You like four and five?

All right. Line four. Martin! Yeah. Twenty-nine, Oklahoma. What's going on? Well, like I was telling the call screener, I had a vasectomy about a year ago and I had complications afterward, had orchitis real bad, had to go in the hospital for a couple of days, having an antibiotic, a couple INDs. Oh my God. So let's explain what that is. So he developed probably an infectious inflammation of the testes called orchitis. Then they had to actually go in and scrape out

the debris, the debris, you know, get it all out of all the infected material and stuff. That's big. Inside the scrotum. And pack it, and you probably had to pack it yourself twice a day or something after that, right? Yeah, for a couple days. Oh my god. What a mess. Scrotum packing? Near the scrotum, sort of like probably towards the scrotum packing. I'm so sorry, that's a big deal. Why'd you have a vasectomy at 28, for Christ's sake?

Oh, we've had enough kids. How many? Just one. Listen. Wait a minute, really? I like the cut of your jib, by the way. All my friends. No, no, no, no. I'm not going to sound like you're fucking friends. Martin, you're one of Adam's people. Yeah, you had one kid. You're being responsible.

That's fine. I like it. What do you know, Utopia, if the world were all like Martin? Okay. What do you, Utopia, be claiming topia packing their testes? Yes? Yes Anyway after it all kind of ran its course basically that that affected side ended up being almost nothing left sure and And you know I've talked to my urologist a handful of times about ever since then I just

you know have like had a little bit more fatigue a little bit more depression a little bit more anxiety and Curious if there could be a Hormonal composure there could there shouldn't be I mean your other test He should be able to keep up with it two things occur to me One is whether there's some low-grade infection left. How long ago was it that it was so to speak healed? Well, you know ten months. Yeah still you can be some low-grade stuff that can hang around for a while. It's interesting you say that. There is a noticeable just slight inflammation still.

Yeah, sometimes that's enough to kind of just sap your energy a little bit. So you're saying you have enough coursing through your veins of this infection that's enough to slow you down just a little bit. So my first sort of thought would be see an infectious disease doctor because sometimes there can be some residual infection that just you've got to wipe it all out and that would be an important thing to do.

Then number two, get a free testosterone level and see if there's anything going on. They might want to also check, well just get free testosterone. That's sort of the place to start to see if that- Where is this free testosterone collection? In your blood. It's all available. In any of us. We all get free testosterone. That's sort of the place to start. Where is this free testosterone? In your blood. It's all available. In any of us. We all have free testosterone.

You get a test to see? Yeah, it's a blood test. What's your testosterone level at? To see how much testosterone is not bound in a protein, but how much is actually free and available for biological use. Free. Ah, I see. So, floating free in the blood.

So, there you go, Martin. You do think that that's a reasonable request. That's like a good domain name. says the floating free in the news in the blood movement well i don't know if you think that that's a reasonable and i i i've mentioned that you might write a couple times and he kind of got out of the already three test on the bus that got you must be on a h m or something where they're restricting your stuff you got to insist on it

okay i'm a big deal about your hero your hero but what am i to do what i have people martin well done he'd says very few people to achieve that status yes or either one of us you're nobody or you're one of that is people here

and we can i have that and a question about it that's actually yet i had my kids time because and that three people who got pregnant after the second yesterday happened but i know no one I had my tubes tied because I know three people who got pregnant after a vasectomy. Yes, it can happen. But I know no one who's ever gotten pregnant after a tubal ligation. Oh, that happens too. That happens too. Nature wants to reproduce.

Nature's really very incredibly powerful when it comes to overcoming the things we throw at it. Isn't the risk higher statistically post vasectomy than tubal ligation? Here's what I've noticed with vasectomy. You're supposed to get three negative sperms. No one ever does that third one. Ever goes back after the first one. They may be the first one.

Adam, you and I know the delight of delivering a specimen. You can't imagine not wanting to go back and do it three times for a urologist. Especially a urology office, it's just set up just like a fertility office with the... Yeah. Yeah. especially a urology office, it's just set up just like a fertility office with the Yeah, yeah, plus. I don't need that negative sperm in my life Lincoln was so long. I was bored dude. That's all negative sperm. Yeah I don't need that kind of you know what's going on in the ozone right now man. They can firm killing ourselves, dude Yeah, man, you don't understand. You understand about playing field man.

You mean, you're a white sperm, you understand, but you don't understand about the negative sperm. Yeah, mm-hmm. Good name for punk band though. Ooh, yeah, true. Oh, look Chris liked that. All right, who would you like to talk to now? Five. Yeah, so once you like to talk to now? For a second I wasn't even opening. Five.

Yeah, so once you get the third negative sperm thing, you're good, but people don't do that. Even that can, it's very low probability. Tubes tied, better, but it's marginal. Marginal, I don't know the data off the top of my head, but it is better. You ever get some of that negative sperm on the top of your head?

No. Like you don't move at the right time no move her husband does not have negative sperm All right, what who who we don't know five five Laura 29 Minneapolis, what's going on? I Just want to say I love you guys. I have been listening for over 15 years Wow Adam my parents watch you religiously every Monday night on O'Reilly. Every time I buy something on Amazon, I click on your link on your website. Hero!

We've never had two heroes in a row. Yes, another one of your people. Another hero. Laura, please check out my podcast too. They really are good. Oh, I listen to them too. I download them and I love them them i wish you can't have podcast uh... available every single day i would like to go to the virtually between the

two of us essentially will idea one five times a week and then weekend show and i i don't know if you're going to read it you and drew that i want more of it other more federal but have a happy to use to watch the MTV show? Oh yes I did and I love Diane on it. So this is an awesome chance to be able to speak to all three of you. Thank you.

That's really nice because I think the MTV show was longer than 15 years ago. Really? Yes. I do remember watching it though. No, I'm not questioning you, I'm just making fun of how old we are. Oh! It was almost exactly 15 years ago I think. Like 15, 16, right?

Yeah, actually it is 15. Laura? I have no idea. Laura? Mm-hmm? What's going on? Okay, so I have a younger sister and about 17 years ago or so my dad kind of split from our family and we haven't really seen him since.

And within the last about 10 years, my sister sister had a problem with drugs and she and the last that they probably year has been getting more heavily into math and uh... we found out she was shooting map and everything uh... what to two months ago she and her boyfriend worked picked up for shoplifting and the authority found heroin and pot on them and the fat in jail for a couple days and we went to try to help her out and everything and you know the the courts released her but they were

holding her boyfriend and my parents my mom my stepdad and I were trying to try to get her life back together try to help her out and stuff like that Yeah, you say your dad your dad you say your parents. I'm sorry I my stepdad is the greatest guy on the face of the earth Oh, that's good. He's much more of a parental figure than my real father So I know is your real father has he been involved at all in this no he's a deadbeat in Florida Florida they almost never end up in Florida. I have a theory on Florida I want to share with you two after. Please.

It goes along with your theory. So what is the question? Okay, yeah, I'm sorry, I'll get to it. Basically, my sister's so addicted, if you will, to her boyfriend, and my parents and I just feel like it's unhealthy it's a healthy relationship and you know they're doing drugs they're stealing she's never gonna get sober if she stays with him that's not exactly it and so what my mom and I've hold on let me ask you a question Drew yeah guys are done looking at your phone dig this how do I manage

to come into this all right come on all. I don't bring my phone in the studio because I realize it would be a distraction. Mm. People are distracted by things, have no idea that they're distracted by things. They just go, they just grunt like three times. You know when you talk to someone on the phone? Yeah. And they're watching TV? You can tell. And after about 30 seconds, you go, are you watching TV? And they go, yeah, but I'm listening. And you go, no, how come I know you're watching TV then if you're listening? I want to dig what you were telling me. Okay, dig what I'm saying.

If you have someone who's addicted to drugs heavily like this person, and then they have a boyfriend who's addicted to drugs and they choose to stay with that boyfriend, is it twice as difficult to get them sober? Because now you have two people. Either they both get sober or they don't, but it becomes a factor of two. I think it's more than two. It actually increases more than two.

It's exponential because A, the probability of one person getting sober is dicey. That's impossible. Yeah. Now two have to get sober. They have to stay apart for a year while they get sober. So it's not even twice as hard. So now you've got, and their love addiction and coat and interdependency is impossible to treat. So she has to get to the point where she understands her survival, her life depends upon getting sober, nothing else matters, and in doing, when she gets to that point, she'll be willing to let go of him. I guess my question is, is my mom and I have been really approaching it from the tough

love and consequent... Please, Laura, Laura, go to Al-Anon. I have been doing ACA in the past, and I felt like... That's useful, but go to Al-Anon, because your tough love will become punitive and aggressive, as opposed to a releasing with love, which is what it has to be to be effective. Okay. Okay.

How do they start those Al-Anon meetings? Hi, my name's Laura, and I'm not an alcoholic, but my crazy fucking sister is. Pretty much. Do they start that way? I'm a codependent, yeah. I would start, I'd love to run an Al-Anon meeting, because I'd be like, all right

None of you are part of the problem We're all cool. As a matter of fact, I hope you don't mind if I have a beer. I don't have an issue I mean, that's a light beer. It's the evening. It's no big whoop You only have an issue if they have to go to the bathroom. That's right Well, how you leave the door but look seriously, can we all have a cold one here? It's not us. We're not responsible. But here's the deal. Do they have beers at Al-Anon meetings? You could start that up because there's a lot of alcoholics go to Al-Anon meetings too, by the way. But you are the problem. That's the issue.

I'm the problem? I have a couple light beers while I run an Al-Anon meeting and I'm part of the problem? Your problem is the guy who has the beer problem. That's your problem. You have a problem with codepend I run an Al-Anon meeting and I'm part of the problem. Your problem is the guy who has the beer problem. That's your problem. You have a problem with codependency. So that's your part of the problem. What's wrong with a cold one? For all of us responsible people out there.

I love that. Responsible. You aren't part of the problem. Responsible. You must be a better person if you're responsible. I can drink responsibly. I've seen the commercials. Florida.

I want to hear about Florida. My theory? Yeah. Well, it's actually my brother's theory. So if nothing good ever came out of Florida, he had a theory anytime he was in a bar that a woman said she was from Florida that she was a stripper and it was never wrong. Unless she's in Florida at the time. Well, she's from Florida. I agree with you. Yeah, he said she was from Florida. He was like, I agree with that with that theory. But I would argue I'm no scientist, but the fact that your brother only hangs out at strip clubs in Dade County, sort of is going to shake. He's going to skew the data just a little bit, just a little bit. And only by stripper's strengths. Tyler.

Yes, sir. Hey, Tyler. What's up? 24. Calling from Dallas. How you doing? What's going on? So I had a question about anxiety for Dr. Drew.

Not to take the light from Adam. Adam, a big fan. Been watching or listening to the podcast for about two years now. Thank you. Well, one time I was getting on an airplane and, uh, somebody told me that I could take one of their Xanax would mill me out. I get real anxious on planes. I tend to up, I get real sweaty, clammy.

So I took one. Well, I started to notice that while I was on this medication, the Xanax, that it made me just less frustrated at the world. Uh, my wife, she started telling me, telling me that while I was on Xanax, I was a happier person, easier to get along with, I didn't get so frustrated with little things, I could focus more on little errands I had to work throughout the day.

I thought you just took it on an airplane, suddenly now you're taking it during the day. Frequent flight. And then I noticed it was a beneficial for me and started started taking it without a prescription and I don't because I don't have a prescription I don't I don't get this all the time and my question is for Drew how do I go into my doctor and say yes I've taken this without a prescription, I'm not trying to abuse it, but I have noticed a life-changing beneficial... How much have you taken? How long are you on it? Just probably like a point, I don't know, is it 0.5 milligrams? Yeah. And I take it

once a day when I have it, and when I take take that much I don't get any of that memory loss. How long we wanted for it? You took it daily for how long? Probably about two or three weeks at a time when I can give it. Yeah, go ahead. I'm going to say, we could all be better. I mean, I think all our spouses would agree that, you know, after a hot bath with a glass of wine in us, we're better than middle of the day stressed out yelling at assistant on phone, you know. But does that mean we have to sit in a bathtub our whole life with a glass of wine in our

hand? And also, would you not get the same effect from a nice long walk or a hard workout? That's right. And if it was prescribed, no one would ever tell you to take Xanax every single day. Well, you could do it for a while, but not more than a couple of weeks. You shouldn't do it. And people might use a low dose for a more extended period, but it's very dicey to do that, Tyler.

And so here's the deal. You're treating yourself without a diagnosis. You're noticing a positive benefit. You need to go see a psychiatrist, get a proper diagnosis, and get a specific treatment plan that can be sustained over time. So either psychotherapy and or some medication that is safer over the long haul or nothing. But to be Xanax sporadically like this is, yes, I had Versed when I went in for a surgery once, and as I was being wheeled down the hall, I thought, oh my God, this

must be what normal people feel like. This is the world without anxiety. I've never felt that before. So I was like, oh my God, it was stunning to me. But I didn't go, oh, I better take Versed every day because that makes me a better person and less anxious. That's the name of Diane's husband's brother, by the way, Versed. Can I ask you a question that no one talks about unless you live in California? Do you ever tell people to try GABA? Well, we use Neurontin, which is a GABA-ergic medication, but the GABA doesn't even get through the stomach sufficiently to get anything.

What's GABA? GABA is, they sell it at Whole Foods. It's supposed to be like a, it's an organic version of Xanax. Don't bring up Whole Foods. No, it's a, yeah, it won't even get to pharmacology. You have to get pharmacology in order to have a pharmacological effect. And it just doesn't come-

What does GABA do? Well, okay. GABA, okay, the GABA receptor in the brain is a very important regulatory system in the brain. It's where the benzodiazepine receptor is, which is where Xanax acts. It basically affects chloride channels in the brain. It's where the benzodiazepine receptor is, which the Rosannix acts. It basically affects chloride channels in the... Alright, no, what I'm saying is... The chloride channels, so it decreases the responsiveness of cells, basically.

But if you're crazy, crystal, rubbing broad from Santa Monica and you believe the gab is making a difference in your life... Placebo is very, very, very, very powerful. And it's all to do... Very powerful. It's not to do with inflammation. It has to do with your mood. Yeah. So maybe it worked.

But this guy may or may not have a real problem. But you don't treat yourself. You get a proper diagnosis, and you come up with a treatment plan. And that may or may not include medication. But Xanax, I would refrain from using that over two weeks. Does gamma work for you? I've never tried it.

My therapist is always like, try the gamma. Try the gamma. I love Xanax. Oh, you the gaba. I love Xanax. You love Xanax? Love Xanax, but because I come from a long line of Irish people, I will get a prescription that lasts a year. Good, that's good. Like maybe one a month I would take.

If I was gonna be a drug addict, that would be my drug of choice, though, because of the anxiety, but I wouldn't let myself. So she's always like, use an herbal supplement. You think it's focused? I got to turn you on to a little something called mangreia. That is going to make your troubles melt away. Can I drive after I have it?

Yeah. As long as you stay on your own property. I don't see why that's an issue. You want to go in a circle around your driveway. That's fine. Put it in reverse and put it in drive again and put it in reverse again I don't discourage that I always say drive but stay on your own property I've responsive somebody. Yeah, I'll give you a little hit after the show. It's available by mangrid.com. All right, real quick. Let's get to

Seth 20. What did I just hear smoke detector? Yes could have been Now I think it was a chalk or input. I'll tell you in the next 28 seconds. Seth. Seth in Illinois. There you go. What's up? Hey. Hey. So I met a girl and I don't fall for people easily but I really like her and things went well naturally and she's spending more time with me than other guys and so you know I thought she liked me but I hear that she's a big flirt and she does stuff at parties and I don't know if you know does she actually like me or is she just playing me? Well last time Adam met her yeah what Adam met with her and uh Sheila would never do that to you, Seth. That's not the Sheila I know and that I grew up with and then worked as a summer counselor with for all those years when we worked with the special needs

children. So that's that's a side of her that she has not presented to me. That's not the Sheila. This is the nicest question I've ever gotten. Listen, if you're interested in her, then pursue your interests and your relationship. And then as far as the person's past, it's something to be aware of, but it's not something that factors into your relationship. But it's also something that you need to be aware of if this is a tendency of hers.

I imagine, Drew, it's like this, what if somebody said, look, this person used to have a problem with alcohol or a problem with fill in the blank, but they've been sober for some time now, and now I'd like to date them. So you go, okay, I'll date this person. But at some point, if you notice liquor missing from the cabinet, now that means more that tell, as you say. But what I'm saying is, is that would mean more at that point than if you were dating a person that was not sober, but does a social drinker. All right.

So maybe they had a couple cocktails on a Friday. I don't mean so treat it sort of that way. Yeah. Okay. Agreed. You're good. And also that cheat. They. Okay? Agreed. You good? And also that they're 20, and he's getting the idea that this is what other people say about a girl at a party.

Don't listen to what anybody says about girls at parties. Just talk to the girl at the party. Yeah. Yeah. Here's a great acid test. Ask her out. That already now you're on a different playing field if she says yes. And if you have a good time, ask her out again. It's okay to do that. I tell my sons this, I said that that puts

you ahead of the pack if you learn how to date, because kids that age just don't date. And women respond to that. And you can really assess people that way and get to know because they don't date because they're afraid to. They don't date because they feel it's more than that. The whole hookup culture is so institutionalized, but that is a topic for another pod. Wow. How about that? That's a nice tease.
