Episode Date: October 5, 2024

Adam and Dr. Drew discuss how tired they are of the "Woke" culture and the meaning behind it. They also talk about vaping and the people that continue to do it.

Yo whats good and welcome to another edition of the Adam and Dr. Drew Show Classics. I am your host Big Brother Jake aka Jake Warner, remember my name, and of course we always have a great episode for you. Up first, episode 1076 titled The Great White Trash Heritage, which aired on May 13, 2019, the fellas talk about the stigma of vaping and its effects, and they break down the science in the only way they know how to do it. Check it out. I have a great book to recommend.

American Psychosis. Everyone's always wanting... I think I mentioned earlier in the week how people got into this mess in this country with the homeless thing, but there's a great book that chronicles the exact history point by point how we got into it. It's a mix between government enthusiasm, dumb psychiatrists, and some horrible policy ideas. Some people just did not understand how to do these things and and made

gigantic bets in the wrong place Here's something that I Kind of realized and I've never looked at anything any differently than this Okay, and I'm not sure why it's not the go-to answer for everything as you've heard before but I take a look at my neighborhood. I take a look at my school That's not the go-to answer for everything as you've heard before. I take a look at my neighborhood, I take a look at my school, I take a look at all the stuff and it's all good. It's all good because we, meaning the Corollas, are definitely the worst family at the school,

in the neighborhood and everything else. And listen. You're like the Beverly Hill Billiards. I'm rich, I'm responsible, but we're by far, I mean we have a bunch of schools, we're like the dad's an attorney, the mom's an ER physician. They don't have all the great white trash heritage.

No. They're like, the guy's an engineer, he's building the staples, he's building the building behind the staple center, the mom's a nurse, you know, and everyone is is that way the kids are all great. Everything's great and thus The byproduct of that is no byproduct Wow, that's the byproduct of that byproduct is no byproduct. It's just no waste no no There's nothing there's no debris everyone is good. Everything is clean everyone picks up their dog shit

Everyone takes care of the community. Everything is nice. Everything works The schools the school my kids go to the reason that school works is not because of the building Some because of the books and they probably don't get the bells of the ball in terms of LA Unified or whatever the teachers are It's clean Because the kids don't throw trash down and they don't That they don't do graffiti. They don't tag things. They don't make come on. I don't do anything Your daughter's gonna do that eventually vaping now. Sure They don't what is with the moral panic around vaping

Moral panic it's brain poison This is worse than second-hand smoke stock commercial drew. Do you know that there's it's brain poison I can't find the commercial and it's brain. You know in places where you see lots of vaping you see less drug use So maybe there's their brains are being poisoned, right? by nicotine That thing we give people to get them off cigarettes and just keep them on it that poison so what's the science behind well I'll explain to you the same so vape is like a poison stick that you put in your mouth you gotta you gotta you must in in your associations bring in the other poison stick your brain tobacco Well, that's worse. No, everything's bad. It's not worse your brain

Okay Your brain controls everything like I'm talking right now That's my brain telling my mouth to talk. Okay. Mm-hmm. So Look at your brain as a control tower, okay? Now, the control tower is not the airplanes, but it's telling the airplanes what to do, okay? What if we're surrounded by vape smoke and couldn't see the airplane? Okay, okay.

So this is what I'm saying. So when the fog rolls in off the coast Well, then the tower can't communicate with the planes You can't see what's going on and the planes go off the runway and they crash. Okay, so what the vape is Vape is short for vaporize Okay, which is a kind of a what fog is made of vapor water vapor vape vape It also rhymes with rape. Okay runs with rape and now it's got something that tobacco's got that addicts you to tobacco nicotine

Yeah, the poison and somebody said to me Would you rather have your 12 year old son addicted to marijuana or addicted to vaping? I think they were trying to get the best of me, but I won the argument because I said neither Okay, okay, so Case closed. Well, I obviously won in that debate because he said he challenged me Would you rather your kids smoke marijuana every day or vape? But I said neither Set him straight

Well, I chalk up a win in Speech and debate that's how you win. All right, you just say a B and you go see ya later Okay, so your brain Okay See ya later Okay, so Your brain Okay Your brain is is the air traffic controller if it can't communicate with the planes if the brain is poisoned I see the nicotine is Poison is brain poison

You know like your coffee has caffeine in it. That poison must be. Well, I like coffee. So it's good for you. I guess. No, I mean, yes. Caffeine is good. That's brain fertilizer.

That's good. That helps me study. When I get like I'm on the internet at night. That's brain fertilized. That's good. That helps me study When I get like i'm on the internet at night i'm getting information for these debates You know like how to answer a question where would you rather your kids smoke marijuana or vape and I say neither I got that off the internet. Yeah, but I was staying up late burning that midnight oil It's a great very environmentally conscious band as well. So if you poison your brain, not with caffeine, but with nicotine.

That's the poison. That's brain poison. Caffeine gives you energy. Nicotine gives you energy. Oh, I'm gonna break that one down. Nicotine makes you not eat too, so if you're obese, there could be a benefit there, right? But I don't care how thin you are if your brain is poison, right? Then that must be why that's bad drugs. They don't do drugs when they vape because they're poisoned

They can't function can't even figure out drugs aren't as bad as brain poison Look, I'll look at a commercial. There's first off Look no further than TV for the science These are actors pretending to be agitated with adult actors who are pretending to be their parents. So it's all there Then you know I could pull out a spreadsheet or we could watch younger actors pretend to be angry at older actors You know drew I get it I can't okay watch please I'd rather watch this younger actors being upset well

hold on they're acting out true stories of vaping these are stories that were torn from the vaping headlines and that they're reenacted by younger actors and then older people pretending to be their parents who probably couldn't find work, you know, acting in legitimate Netflix series and you know, well, just watch it lays it out. She's a woman, she's young, she's studying, but she can't focus because she's thin. Oh, wait a minute. She can't focus because her brain is poison. Sorry. Go ahead, Gary. There's an epidemic spreading. Scientists say it can change your brain.

Your brain got worms in it. It can release dangerous chemicals like formaldehyde into your bloodstream. See that's poison. It can expose your lungs to acrolein which can cause irreversible damage. See that's why they should smoke. It's not a parasite, not a virus, not an infection. It's vaping. Oh. That one was in the poison one. that wasn't the brain poison one but that well Would you want to eat a bunch of parasites? No, of course not. Would you want that for your children? No, no Well, then that's the science behind vaping Yeah

You understand it's nicotine Mixed with water. Yeah that's deadly substance known to man It's nicotine mixed with water. Yeah That's deadly substance known to man You take nicotine and you put on the counter and you rub your hand in it and you touch your eyeball Nothing, but when you mix tap water with it like anything else boom You take a cup of gasoline, fine, but you dump a gallon of water on it.

Watch out. The whole block's going up, right? ["Woke People Theme Song"] Welcome back to the Adam and Dr. Drew Show Classics. Up next, episode 1179, titled Uh-Oh! Woke People, aired on October 24th, 2019. Adam and Dr. Drew, they're tired of the woke culture, and they go over how the NBA and other entities

cater to the movie. Listen to this. ["Woke People"] I've been saying for a million years, businesses, corporations, entities, whatever, Nike, Volvo, the NBA, you know, I've been really studying commercials, advertisements, just sort of what they're putting out there all the time, you know, and it's like Subaru no longer does car commercials. They do commercials where dogs just drive their cars to a puppy farm and everyone puts daisies in their hair. And I was pointing out that Subaru also makes military attack helicopters. Okay?

So where are all the vibes coming coming from you know what I mean yes and Nike and everyone's down with the vibes, but I keep saying these companies. They don't have personalities They want money yeah, but they want you to think they're down with you or what you're down with yeah It's us. They're gonna lick their finger They're gonna stick it in the air if good vibes are what's on tap and we're not talking about rust proofing or power train Warranties or anything then we're gonna talk about the cars are all kind of the same. They're all kind of good, you know, right? Really what price range you're looking at right? So the NBA is is down with you know being active socially active and the NBA, you know, uh, if you're Steve Kerr and you're starting

five players are African American, you better be down with the cause or Popovich or whoever. I mean, if you're an NBA coach, I don't want to say NBA carry, 13 guys, 12 guys, 13 guys. If you're an NBA coach or an NBA owner and you're carrying around 13 players and 11 and a half of them are black, you better be down with the cause, you know? And when Kaepernick takes a knee, you better take a knee too.

It's a lot of that going around, right? Just good business, you mean? Yeah, it's just these guys are on a team, they gotta play for us, They're talking about they're They're putting a fist in there 15 total 13 active. Okay, so 13 out anyway most NBA teams if there's 15 guys on the team

11 or black so when there's black causes and you're the middle-aged white coach, what are you gonna do? Sure, so I get it. That's that's And then the NBA, that's kind of business. And you could even put a less sinister spin on. Say these are his friends that work with him every day supporting his buddy. I'm not even really putting a sinister spin on it. I mean a less inhuman spin. You know what I mean? You got to get along and they got to listen to you and you got to go to Work every day and yeah sure. Okay, right. Okay. Oh look you live in California Yeah, would you put a Trump bumper sticker on your car? No, no, cuz it'd be you know, someone throw a rock at it You got to get along. I get that and that's part of business. Yeah, so

then the problem is So then the problem is the problem is is a lot of the stuff you talk about is human rights and human dignity and Brutality and Oppression and all that by this state the United States by the United States, but No one when they're talking about human rights or women's rights or gay and trans rights or whatever, they don't go limited to the contiguous United States, Alaska and Hawaii. They just go, I'm for all gay rights and for all human rights. I'm for all women's rights. Right? Right. And then you go, okay, but what about female genital mutilation that's being performed

routinely around, how come you're not whipped up about that? And they're like, I don't know enough about that. It's like, all right, well, it's called female genital mutilation. How much you need to know? It's kind of right in the bumper sticker there. So should you be outraged at the region of the world or the countries that participate in that? I can't judge that.

Cultural relativism. Right. Now you're letting me know you're not as into it as maybe you said you were. Because if you're just into it and you're just consistent, then you're more outraged by female genital mutilation. I think you will find people justify that unjust position by essentially saying, well, I only have control over my country, that's all I really understand or know, and I got to take care of my own thing, that kind of stuff.

But you're right, if they really just cared about women and their rights, you should be outraged. Right. care about women and their rights, you should be outraged. Right. So the NBA is woke and the players are woke and many of the fans are woke, just like many people by Subaru are woke. And so they want to cater to their woke crowd. So when something comes up like holding the All-Star Game in Charlotte or something and they voted down the third bathroom, then they go, we're not going to do this because we believe in rights and transgender rights and whatever.

Now look, the average NBA owner is a white billionaire who's 67 and four months. I don't know how strong his feelings are about the third bathroom and canceling the NBA game. I'm guessing he's just going along It's a good business ride more the good business that you were talking about earlier If you're riding to build that case I get that which makes me assume you're hypocrites But also assume Subaru's full of shit as well, but that's just me but unfortunately well but that's just me but unfortunately Subaru doesn't really have to prove it and the problem with something like China and is it Hong Kong yeah yeah Hong Kong and the China situation is uh-oh woke people now you have to prove it now you have to take this

superpressive regime because you're into human rights and you hate the oppressors and Remember, you're super sensitive to this like I'll admit it third bathroom. I don't really care. I'm not that woke. I don't like you know I Kids being separated from their parents at the border. Like, I'm not a fan, I understand what they're doing, the kids needed to be treated well, but I'm not so woke that I'm comparing it to Nazis and the Holocaust.

So I admit, I'm about a two and a half on the woke-o meter, but you guys are super woke. So whatever's going on in China You're gonna blow your top. You're gonna be outraged because we've set the table You're for human dignity and you're for human rights and Oppressive regimes guys like Trump you've spoken out. So now when we get to a real oppressive regime You're gonna get a bullhorn and we're gonna hear your words echo from the valleys

But then you don't say anything and then you apologize But the didn't LeBron start by saying something and then had to apologize it worse. I didn't even know the latest I know one guy makes an innocuous tweet about standing with Hong Kong and he has to apologize and then everyone has to apologize and Now I'm starting to wonder Is this about money what how could that be but I thought you guys were woke But Subaru, why do you make attack helicopters when you make puppy transporters? But Subaru, why do you make attack helicopters when you make puppy transporters? How do we reconcile this, Drew?

Well, what this podcaster's figured out is the NBA likes money. And if being woke gets them more money, then woke they shall be. Now, woke, when it comes to getting money here in the States is great. Woke as it pertains to losing billions in China. Well now we have a little different situation.

Hollywood, super woke, little sleepy when it comes to China. Yep, they haven't heard said a thing have they No Because guess what they like money Just like they're super woke when it comes to paying taxes and paying more and everything else But they all fly out of town and go to Atlanta I mean, you know the wokeness of the woke is Samuel L L Jackson. I did a comedy gig there in January

His room was next to me. We were in Winnipeg He was shooting a movie for six months in Winnipeg all in Canada Okay, I get it your business and you should go to Canada and save on taxes or or save on Unions or save on whatever it's all fine. Spare me the fucking lecture. Spare me the fucking woke lecture where you're better than I am morally. Shut the fuck up. Take your money from China. Take your money from Canada. Take your money from New Mexico or wherever you're filming. Just shut up Stop with your virtue signaling and hammering checks

So now you're putting a weird position So now you're steve kerr who has opinions on everything except for you don't have any opinions on this You don't know Steve kerr was like a deer in the headlights He's he pops off constantly about all the oppression here, but he really hasn't studied China. Well, they have gulags, they take Muslims, and they put them in camps, and there's like a camp with like a million Muslims in it.

They're horrible, Steve Kerr. Now your turn. Still need more info? Not enough? You know all about bad cops. You don't know anything about bad nations? Huh. And you readily give your opinion on everything.

But this one... you have to study up on. We'll be right back with more of the Adam and Dr. Drew Show classics. Welcome back to the Adam and Dr. Drew Show classics.

The car with the window rolled up, staring at the back of the headrest with the screen

on it, you know, it's like, hey, it's all kind of leads to that non engagement kind of thing. And you know, sex is probably the ultimate engagement if you think about it, and they're not engaging. Yeah. And libido is ultimately is about an energy like a, you know, vitality. Right. And we are trying to sort of douse the libido chemically and sort of sociologically and spiritually and then physically as well. It's all a bunch of stuff like conspiring against that, what that was.

What's going on? I'm not too much. I have a quick question for you guys. So Adam, I have a quick question for you guys. So Adam, my dad died when I was six years old, man, and I grew up working construction, basically.

I'm an electrician and I started when I was about 16, and basically the guys that were a father figure to me were construction dudes, which I know you're very familiar with that. So fast forward a couple years ago, about three years ago I got married to my wife and she has an eight year old. So he's my stepson, six year old.

I don't know man, we just, I'm having a hard time connecting with the kid. I know I'd never be the dad, but a little bit more about me, I don't know Adam, I'm kind of your just electrician construction dude, man. I play in a band, I ride a Harley. I'd like to think I'm an overall pretty good dude.

I'm not a piece of shit I provide for my family. And trying to call and get you guys advice and yeah. This kid is 11 now? This child is 11? No, excuse me, dude, no, he is eight years old. He's now eight. Which is literally. He was five when you arrived what happened to his father

The father's still in the picture very much so And him and I mean the father just two different dudes if we will Adam you know you can find me changing the oil on my Harley during the weekends you know or Doing my I'm playing a rock band, you know, and the kid just doesn't seem to be interested in the shit whatsoever. And I'm just kind of new to it. And I was just wondering, again, yeah, I feel like having advice.

What's the kid into? Video games and you know, that's pretty much it, man. Nothing. and you know that's pretty much it man that's nothing you know Adam I listen to you religiously man and it's every time every time you say you know stuff kind of about your kids or whatnot it cracks me up like it's the same thing it's like hey man I never you know I never had a dad that had a Harley you don't want to go for a ride or you don't want to learn how this engine works or you know you don't want to do this no I want to play fortnight I want to go for a ride or you don't want to learn how this engine works or you know You don't want to do this. No, I want to play fortnight

I want to do this do that and and so I tend to Unfortunately, it was I know you guys are gonna harp on me for this but I tend to be kind of addicted and I've noticed lately in a sarcastic way, which I mean is I Get the impression that is his dad, you know allows this kind of behavior, you know It's okay to play video games. It's okay to allows this kind of behavior. It's okay to play video games. It's okay to do this kind of stuff. That's what this has been. The line's a little choppy, so I'll put you on hold.

But I have thoughts, which is kids need consistency. They don't need greatness. Right. They need consistency. True. And I've had little, I think everyone will have this You know, I had a nephew who was that way with me and I don't live with him, but he's like standoff ish and You know, and I just went alright. Well, that's his decision. I will be around

I'll be consistent and he'll kill he'll pass through this stage. He's not the one you brought in here to work, was it? No, it was his older brother was that way. But that's how he was, and then it passed. I've had times where my daughter was like that way. Just, uh, don't come in the room. And I'll go, okay, I'll just be consistent. I'll just be around. Yeah, it's not about you. You don't react.

That's the point. Right, and they they know and you say to them Hey, you want to go out and get a burrito and they go no, I'm playing for tonight and you go, okay Just ask him and they know yeah, and you put it out there and you're there and you're consistent and you're not You don't have to make comments and you don't have to try to outwit them You don't have to do anything you have to sort of be there and you have to be consistent and you have to be They have to know Who you are and where you are and what you are all the time and the story may be hey I had a stepdad and he was into the Harley. I wasn't into the Harley. He'd be in the garage working on the Harley

I'd be in my room playing for tonight. But then they'll pause and they'll go, but Brett was a good guy. Yeah, he was okay. But do not expect the child to be into what you are into. Do not insist the child be into what you're into. Meet them where they are and encourage out of home activities for sure. But my But not necessarily your activity but also if you sort of relax do your thing with a certain ease and a kind of confidence and

not a pressure brush their harried then the kids come to you sometimes I told you it was telling my daughter came to me and wanted to drive for the first time ever I've been mr. car mr. drive. Everything, she's been zero to do with anything. And when we were done with the drive for the first time ever, I sat down with her and I showed her me driving professionally and what it's like inside the car at those speeds with the shifting and the other cars and it's the first time ever she watched. It's the first time ever she went like,

oh good, what's going on here? Wow, that's intense. You know, all the other times were like, hey, all right, all right, all right. Yeah, okay, great, great, great times like. Now, but she had to come to my doorway. She had to come to you. And she had to say, teach me to drive.

That's what had to happen. And I had to take all the driving discussion from zero to thirteen and a half was rate us 5 stars wherever you get your podcasts. I'm your host Big Brother Jake, thanks for tuning in. Deuces!
