And again, let us help you and help us. Dear, dear, dear, dear old friend Sean Green here. Sean played for the Dodgers for many years.
Starting point is 00:01:22 Also has a book out and I'm also looking and I'll get into the book in a second. Something that's incredibly impressive. May, 2000, May 23rd, 2002 hit four home runs in one game which has to put you in some sort of club that is pretty small. Yeah, I was the 13th guy and then there's two other guys since my good friend that I played 10 years
Starting point is 00:01:44 with Carlos Delgado up in Toronto He did it a year after I did it and then last May Josh Hamilton Who's now with the Angels with Texas and Sean did it in sort of the steroid era not taking steroids. Yeah, I'm saying Yeah, I'm like this playing baseball. Um, the the the the baseball record that seems like it will never be broken and I think it took place at Dodger Stadium. It could have been Angel Stadium. It was out here probably about 10 years ago and we'll have to look it up. Somebody hit two grand slams in one inning I do believe.
Starting point is 00:02:20 Yeah, I think that was someone with St. Louis, Fernando Tatis. Yes. Is it, can you imagine these statistical odds? First off, getting up twice in an inning, statistically pretty low. With the bases loaded now. Well, I'm working. Don't do that thing. Don't do that thing.
Starting point is 00:02:37 Getting up twice in an inning, pretty low statistically. Hitting two home runs of your two times at bat statistically really low and then having the bases loaded each time is I don't know how many million to one, but who else? I mean, I know everything gets broken. First off, nothing will get broken. It can only be tied. You can't get up three times in an inning and hit three grand slams, can you? But is this ever going to happen again? Sean? I mean, no, I don't think so.
Starting point is 00:03:11 I think there's more of a chance if you do get up twice and you have the bases loaded, you have a better chance of getting a pitch to hit because there's nowhere to put you on the bases, they're not going to walk you. So interesting. You have a better chance to get a pitch to hit. But yeah, I mean, it's statistically almost impossible to have it happen again. And four in a game by the way what he doesn't talk about also four pop-outs. He got up eight times. Same game. He grounded back to the pitcher four times and he underhanded it to the first baseman.
Starting point is 00:03:37 Oh one time he just walked it over the first base. But anyway let's focus on those home runs. The book The Way ofball, Finding Stillness at 95 miles an hour. Talk about it, John. So basically it talks about early in my career I played for a manager who didn't like me. I was kind of caught between the GM and the manager. And he had just won a couple of World Series with the Blue Jays and didn't want younger players coming up. So anyway, a few years in they banned me from the batting cage without, because they were
Starting point is 00:04:06 trying to change my style of hitting to a pole hitter. Hang on a second. Is that not crazy? Banned from the batting cage. Banned from the cage. Because he wanted to practice his... No, no. We'll have none of that. Well, what they were saying, I'm assuming, is we don't want you doing what you're... We
Starting point is 00:04:22 don't want your swing the way you're swinging it. So you're banned until you swing it the way we want to swing it? Well, they used to make me do all these drills that were, they were screwing me up and I knew it. Kind of in the old, you know, the seventies era where they played, it was more of kind of the macho, you know, they'd make comments like, oh, if I was playing today, I'd use my dick to hit this guy. And you know, you're never late on a two-oh fastball, you know's pole pole and try to it's very much a game whereas it changed now pitchers start throwing all kinds of
Starting point is 00:04:49 different pitches and different counts and You know a lot of the hitters use the whole field more in any way that so They they saw me physically as a guy who could hit a lot of home runs and they said the only way you're gonna Do it is if you become a pole hitter So I used to sneak to the cage when they weren't around and try to get the work I wanted in because I didn't want to do their drills. And do they want to become a pull hitter? Do you close your stance, open your stance?
Starting point is 00:05:13 What do you do to physically start pulling the ball? You really just use your top hand more and kind of roll it over sooner and just try. But what it does, it makes you really one dimensional. You're really susceptible to other pitches And you become very pitchable So I was more along the lines trying to be you know Just a guy who can get a lot of hits use the whole field So anyway at once they caught me sneaking in the cage you banned me from the cage
Starting point is 00:05:37 And then I you know I was trying to get traded. I was on the bench So I grabbed my batting tee I just hit there's like a little net in between the dugout and the clubhouse to get loose before, like when Kurt Gibson... Back in the side. Inside. Inside, there was a tunnel. Yeah, it's like when Kurt Gibson hit his home run in the World Series, he was warming up
Starting point is 00:05:55 in this, for the Dodgers version, this little net because you don't have time to run all the way from the cage. You know what I'm talking about? Yeah. So I just started hitting off the tee all the time and I had kind of worked on some martial art meditation type things and over time I started to incorporate this and just being more purposeful in my practice of hitting off the tee and that's when my career changed. Once I got back in the lineup I took off and went from being a solid player to being an
Starting point is 00:06:21 all-star. Two-time all-star. Two-time all-star. It's weird, but you tell me, and I think we could all use a version of this in life, which is I'm doing this driving thing. And I've been through the drive. I'm doing the Toyota celebrity race. And I've been through it three times. And this is my
Starting point is 00:06:45 fourth time going back to this driving school and they said well now you don't want to go on Thursday because that's first day and everyone's just sitting there in the classroom the guys going here's a steering wheel this is an apex this is an exit you've been through it the whole time and then you go out in the track but you go with an instructor and you drive slowly and you've been through all that part and I had travel on the weekend and I had to go to that part I couldn't but I also as I was driving out to the Mojave Desert I was thinking to myself listen this is better it's good to tune it down get back to the basics and the fundamentals we ignore that once you get through the fundamentals, you go, oh man, I'm just going to haul ass, man.
Starting point is 00:07:27 And then you start losing technique and eventually you stop your growth. Like it is good to get pushed back and onto the tee, as it were. Well, exactly. And it's the same when you're a carpenter, I'm sure. The reason people are good at what they do is because they put the same amount of focus and attention in the most menial part of their job and then that turns into being really good at that and you become really good at the bigger things. So I changed my focus to really, instead of just going off the batting tee like other
Starting point is 00:07:56 guys who's getting loose, getting through the motions, I just said this is the most important part of my day and then that's when everything else got better. It makes, for those of you who have jobs that you're not in love with, and that's many of you, it makes it easier to tolerate your job. When I was a carpenter, I never wanted to be a carpenter. I wanted to do comedy, but I was a carpenter. But at a certain point, I made peace with the fact that I was doing carpentry where I said, look, this is what you do eight, ten hours a day every single day. And you can be miserable and be complaining about it and sort of half-ass it, or you can try
Starting point is 00:08:37 to do it as best and efficiently as you can. And it sort of made it much more tolerable even though it wasn't what I wanted to do I was doing in a way That was positive something that has probably in your book It's that one's been said a million times which is you know pride and focus and make the best of whatever you're doing If you're digging ditches right find somebody to do it be the best something that drives me nuts I go to Chipotle. I love Chipotle, but I get so pissed off the lady who just folds the burrito She's always fucking up the thing and the meats hanging out right as one job She's full. She doesn't even have to put the meat on the burrito or on the tortilla or she doesn't have to do the salsa
Starting point is 00:09:11 She's she has to fold right and so my thing is can you please fold? I don't want to double burritos too much too much. You know, so just fold it, right? That's all you got to do and and have you spoken up at the job? Yeah, I'm tempted I bitch about it, but I'm really close. Take Adam with you when it happens. Let him do it. Here's the thing, there's a zen in sort of taking very simple tasks and doing them correctly. Motorcycle maintenance, that's the idea of that book. You're taking something simple and just focusing and doing it. Yeah I think a lot of people think of it as kind of you
Starting point is 00:09:43 know people sitting on top of a mountain chanting. It's really just about doing one thing at a time, focusing your attention on that. And you know, you do that throughout your life, you're not as stressed out about, you know, what am I gonna do later? It's what I'm doing now. But it's a mindset of doing everything you can
Starting point is 00:09:59 the best you can. And I went to school with a bunch of losers who basically approach, their approach was well Yeah, I'm a horrible student But that's because you're not paying me ten dollars an hour to be a student if you paid me I'd be a great student so they sort of deluded themselves into thinking no when I get a job Then I get paid then you got an a student well No, they took the same sort of haphazard approach to life
Starting point is 00:10:28 into their job world. And you really either do things right or you don't do things right. It's not like I do this, which I like right, and this, which I don't like. It's in a sloppy, haphazard way. It's more that you get into a habit of doing things correctly. And I wish that was
Starting point is 00:10:46 preached a little bit more because the woman who works at the Chipotle making the burritos, everyone would defend her by going, well, what would you do if you had to stand there all day long and fold tortillas? I'd go, I'd do it as fucking best I could. hope hopefully someone would notice and I'd get bumped up to the churro Stand you know whatever the next move sour cream whatever the next move. I'd work the sour cream gun Yeah, well the ones she's no longer there, so maybe she maybe someone noticed yes so the book by the way available on Amazon and you can click through Adam and book by the way available on Amazon and you can click through Adam and Dr. Drew show.com and show us a little love and make everyone happy. Sean you seem to be
Starting point is 00:11:32 first off smart with your money because I noticed you're driving a Tesla S or at least I noticed it last time I saw you out here when stupid Dr. Drew. Well that's let's recreate what happened. That's why Sean is here to revisit that moment that's the only reason I'm here well not the only reason but that is a is a compelling compelling piece of the Sean Green story got it all right so Drew so Sean so it's not Sean help me out here so Sean and I did a show my podcast mm-hmm doctor calm check it out episode mm-hmm 20 something Gary's gonna look it for me all right thanks for having that ready and if I were Adam I give you shit about it no wouldn't you fucking point at someone and go what episode number did
Starting point is 00:12:12 I do three weeks ago please good Chris why are you laughing episode number 32 32 thank you very much and afterwards afterwards, Sean and I were talking, chatting, walking out towards the parking lot, and there's Mr. Corolla. And Sean stood there. Sitting on the sofa. Sitting on the sofa. Sean's a tall, good-looking drink of water. I think I said, Adam, do you remember who this is?
Starting point is 00:12:39 No. I said. You said, Adam, you remember this guy. Okay. You remember this guy. That's right. And Sean, what did you experience? Well, you know, remember this guy. Okay. You remember this guy. That's right. And Sean, what did you experience? Well, you know, I was a big fan.
Starting point is 00:12:47 I was a big fan of Adam and you. I listened to Loveline when I was driving home from Dodger Stadium. So you know, I didn't expect him to remember. But mind you, we had met you at the Hollywood All-Star game. Yeah, 2001. 2001. I was experiencing through my narcissistic perspective. He was in a Dodger uniform, so
Starting point is 00:13:05 were we. I got a piece of lint on you. So were we. Yeah, we were. We were in the crazy Dodger outfit. What if he was hiding in a barrel, and so were we? Just setting the scene. For me, the only people I really expect to recognize me, and sometimes they still don't,
Starting point is 00:13:21 I'll be driving, I'll see a big Dodger bumper stickers on the car, kind of drive by, you know, hoping that maybe I get a little flash of my former fame, but you know. Yes, so Drew did that. And he is famous in our household because he was my son's favorite player, both my sons favorite player. Your household. They have, I just add, it's my narcissistic perspective. There we are in our lovely, beautiful world.
Starting point is 00:13:42 I mean, true. Oh, Jesus. And I have a picture in my house of my kids with Sean and- Your house. My house. I'm saying my narcissistic fucked up perspective. So I entered the frame with Mr. Corolla with Sean with that mindset. Sure. Fucked up.
Starting point is 00:13:59 Admittedly so. Right. And what did Adam do, Sean? He just jumped all over your shit, really, what and it was it was entertaining. He said don't mind He's like this isn't directed at you and he just yeah, he said hold on whoever you are. Let me just start screaming at Drew, right? Why would you do that Drew? Because I thought you and I had revisited our how much we like Sean and how that meeting several times over the years I swear to God,
Starting point is 00:14:26 had we not talked about meeting Gonzalez just a couple weeks before that. We couldn't think of his name. I understand, but that day we were discussing and- Sean Green's name didn't come up then. I don't think it did either, but the day came up. You make a valid, a very valid point. If Gonzo walks in, because I play with Gonzo, if he walks in, I don't think you guys recognize him, do you?
Starting point is 00:14:44 He's got to be wearing a diamond back hat or something another thing the thing about the thing about baseball players and Like look when a guy I always say this like you know that You know when they have those SB awards and they have all these big brothers coming in and they're just I mean six eight Like who knows who the mean six eight like who knows who the security guard is and who knows who the starting weak side tackle for the Bengals is like I mean you just don't the guys wearing a helmet like you just don't you wouldn't know it is ballplayers baseball players look like civilians yeah but they look like themselves too yeah I know
Starting point is 00:15:22 but they also look like civilians. Yeah, I get it. So you don't see a guy, there's no context here. It's not like your show is called Dodger Sports Legends with Dr. Drew Pinsky. It's just a show where you sit around and talk about boring psychological stuff. That's right. Right. So A, there's no context. Like if I saw Tommy Lassour of walk out first maybe I would start in
Starting point is 00:15:45 your tune in a little bit yeah but anyway yes I yelled at Drew for putting me in there what did you say exactly I said oh I didn't know his name but I said step aside step sorry this is nothing to do with you tune this out for a second and then I proceeded to scream at Drew the fuck you doing why you put him in this position why would I but how would you think I would know this guy and then then I'd sit in there comfortably no offense this guy no offense this guy's nothing to do with you it's the same thing I told I had this great moment when I did Dancing with the Stars where they told the story before but I was doing this Zorro routine
Starting point is 00:16:23 where I was coming out on a unicycle, right? And I had this sort of 26-year-old blonde chick from like Florida who's like your little segment producer. They follow her and the camera person. They follow you all through your practice and all that kind of stuff. And they edit everything. And then they do those things where they kind of pull you aside and they go, I said, what do you think about Julianne Huff?
Starting point is 00:16:44 She's been a little tough on you today. And then you're supposed to stand there and go, well, she's tough, but we're coming back, you know, whatever. And they show you practicing and everything. Well, at a certain point, maybe we can even find the dancer with the star thing. I don't know. But what you've got to find is you have to find the opening is what you have to find. When you come out on the unicycle? Yeah. They said, all right, now let's get some shots of you on the unicycle, yeah, yeah Um, they said they said alright now let's get some shots of you on the unicycle and I said I don't want shots of me on the unicycle because you're gonna step on it and she said well
Starting point is 00:17:12 What are you talking about? And I said well for the opening for the opening I'm gonna do a big reveal where she's dancing alone out on the dance floor and there's three or four beats of her dancing alone on the dance floor and there's three or four beats of her dancing alone on the dance floor and then I make my I come out from the wings from the dark wings on my unicycle with my Zoro cape and she said all right well let's just get some shots of you on that unicycle and I said listen you understand if you this is for the roll-in package this is what's going on the big screen in front of the audience at home and the audience at the theater But moments before I come out so let's not step on it. Let's not reveal the surprise the surprise. Yeah
Starting point is 00:17:53 I'm going out. So it's Julianne Huff. She's dancing alone. She's doing her thing. Where's Adam? Where's Adam? Where's Adam big music cue? Here he comes on his unicycle. So she said I Think people be interested in seeing you. I said, listen, sweetie, sweetie, sweetie, believe me, I know what I'm talking about. I've done a ton of this kind of stuff. I understand how the structure of it. And if you show me practicing on my unicycle,
Starting point is 00:18:18 by the way, I can't believe we're having this conversation for this period of time, but if you show me practicing on the unicycle, then you're going to step on the reveal moments later of me coming out on the unicycle. Alright, so no, nothing on the unicycle. All right, I think we have her you can enjoy a couple of beats and you can just see when I start yelling, you'll see what I'm talking about. Adam Caronda and his partner, Julianne Huff.
Starting point is 00:18:45 And please stop it before we get to any dancing. So it's a good, I don't know, six, eight seconds of her going solo and then big reveal from me in the... from me in the dark swinging around. By the way... By the way, the ZoroMask does not help sword fighting or unicycle riding. Alright, you can stop it. This whole thing of I'm going to engage in sword play but ruin all my peripheral vision, it seemed like the world's worst plan ever.
Starting point is 00:19:20 Can you imagine batting with a ZoroMask on? Not at all, yeah. Imagine the threat of being stabbed now, and you've cut down your peripheral vision 85%. You really can't see anything. So I said to her, no, no, and no. And then two days later, they're doing the sit down testimonials at my house. And the sit down testimonials.
Starting point is 00:19:40 After the dance? No. No, still before the dance. So I sit down, they do the testimonials. I go, so what what dance you're doing? And how do you think your chances are blah blah blah, and then she goes she's off-camera Sound guy camera guy set up at my house. Tell me about the unicycle and I said Well, hold on is this I was a little confused with the order things
Starting point is 00:20:00 Is this is this go after the dance or before the dance? No, this is part of the roll-in package for before the dance. I said, well, I don't want to talk about the unicycle if this is the roll-in package before the dance. Well, it's a good minute and a half before the dance. I mean, I said, first off, we've gone over this. And secondly, it's just not, I don't want to talk about it. I want to show it. I want to reveal it.
Starting point is 00:20:22 She said, I think people will be interested in hearing about it I want to show it I want to reveal it she said I think people be interested in hearing about it I said listen listen I don't want to talk about anymore trust me I know what I'm doing it's gonna ruin the reveal move on ask whatever questions that don't have to do with the unicycle and she said well I guess we'll just agree to disagree and I said hold on sound guy camera guy you're gonna think I'm a huge dick for what I'm about to say but no no but she's been asking for this for a while and now she must receive it so go ahead and pull your earphones off because it's gonna get loud sound guy and I say hey bitch
Starting point is 00:21:01 you don't know what the fuck you're talking about. You're fucking incompetent You're annoying you're way past your pay grade on this and I don't want to do another lap around The retard part with you you're fucking idiot. You have no idea how to produce and this is the 15th time You broach this fucking subject. I was nice even even kind the first three or four times you fucking brought it up but if you want to choose to keep going down this path now I must get rude you're forcing me to do this am I is this some star trip I'm on absolutely not if I was on the construction site and a fucking guy who was a hack carpenter kept arguing with me about what the
Starting point is 00:21:43 bevel should be on the strike side and the butt side and it was way wrong when we're hanging a door this would be the tone I would be using to that fucking glorified goomper you don't know what the fuck you're doing shut the fuck up and if you bring up the fucking unicycle again I'll walk the fuck out of this interview so shut up and no we're not agreeing to disagree. I'm right. I'm not 90% right. I'm not 96% right. I'm fucking 100% right. Now shut up. You don't know shit. And what happened?
Starting point is 00:22:14 Shut up. And we moved on. Did you get voted off that week or is it? Next week. She went back with, oh, Adam's an asshole. I can't believe that guy. No, I was doing her a service. I know you look at it that way. I really do. Yep.
Starting point is 00:22:28 She has a lifetime of arguing with people that know more than her and she had no fucking business telling me about this. How much do you figure she changed after that little interaction? Here's my point with how much people change after the interaction. I'm an emergency doctor. Gangbanger comes in with a bullet in him. My job, take it out. Not to figure out what they're gonna do after I take the bullet out. All right. Well, you're doing him a favor by getting through that.
Starting point is 00:22:54 Thank you. I do my job. Hopefully they find counseling in Jesus Christ the second they walk out the door or they pick up a gun and start shooting again. I've done my job as a surgeon. Hey, it's Adam Kroll from the Adam Kroll Show.

No good transition No, I hate I actually hated open. It looked like a really cool opening day though for the Dodgers Yeah new era for them no it is no I'm happy for the organization But for me opening day was just always a circus It's like the last thing that was important was actual game
Starting point is 00:24:26 So I'd rather day two when there's 30,000 people instead of 50,000 people and flybys And you got you know all these celebrities doing different thing. I just is too much How about the Tesla s by the way, which is maybe Drew's next car? Oh, I love that. I need to start getting some commission because I probably sold ten of them just by just driving it around I just tell him I love it. You know like you you're a car guy I'm not not a car guy. My old car was a the Lexus LS my wife called the Juke a new affectionately she loves that she married into the Jewish jokes, but the the
Starting point is 00:25:00 Work the to me as I say all the time not the money Hassle at the gas station. Like the literal part where I've had it happen many times, Drew, I know you've probably done this, Sean, you've probably done this as well, where you have that thing where it's like, I'll give you an example. I had to do the race training on Thursday.
Starting point is 00:25:23 That was out in the high desert. It's way out, Willow Springs, it's 100 miles away. Do a show Wednesday night in Hollywood, look down at the gauge, I have 14 miles left on thing. Now I have a choice. I can go to a gas station that night on the way home from doing the live show or just go fuck it, I'll do it the next morning.
Starting point is 00:25:42 But I'm leaving at 6.30 in the morning and who the fuck wants to go fill up then drive two hours, but Could have plugged it in that night and just had that and it's not the all Christ it cost $67 it's the oh shit. I don't want to go somewhere at 630 in the morning and fill this thing up Yeah, and that's that's the best part. It drives great I've had zero issues with it. The only issues I've had were unrelated to the car one. When I was in spring training, these
Starting point is 00:26:08 can get you on rants as well. When I was in spring training, my wife took it parked in a parking lot. Someone backed into it. Didn't leave a note. Shocking. Shocking, yeah. The whole lift gate was dead.
Starting point is 00:26:18 It is kind of a mess. Probably on a truck or an SUV. And then the other issue I had, shocking, is I'm still waiting for the DMV to send me my Carpooling stickers another perk. Yeah five months later. Here's thing about the DMV. They're very efficient when they want your money It's eight bucks. I don't think they're too worried about it. They know I know When it comes when it comes to them doing things, we're actually, I don't, you know, the government is just basically the people minus incentive.
Starting point is 00:26:51 They have said it a million times, this is what you get when you don't have competition. The government doesn't really have competition. The DMV doesn't have some other department of motor vehicles nipping at their heels. So thus, they're super lethargic about everything and They do a lot of like hey, just send it out now You can come pick it up and you're like just drop it in the mail Would you know no you come pick it up like they'll do a lot of that. They're not gonna burn They'll burn a million of your calories versus two of theirs. That's their I
Starting point is 00:27:21 The DMV screw up once where they screwed up They admitted they screwed up and I said, not just send me my license. They said, no, come pick it up. And I'm like, yeah, you guys screwed up. No, no, not so much. And there's no recourse. That's the other thing. Sean, you're doing well for yourself, I'm assuming. I'm also assuming you look like you're in fantastic shape. Baseball is one of those games you can play till you're 45 if you if you have to Did you retire earlier than you wanted to you know I retired I was Turning 35 and I had maybe six or seven opportunities on the East Coast. I retired with the Mets and
Starting point is 00:27:58 it was I loved playing in New York, but I'm from California and my I have a 10 year oldold and a 7-year-old, two daughters, and it was getting to the point where it was just hard to be away. It's 162 games in 181 days. So basically, and that's not counting 30 spring training games in six weeks there. So you're basically playing every day, three days off a month, and when you're not playing, if you're on the West Coast, you're normally flying to the East Coast. So you don't have a lot of downtime. Right. And I just got to the point where, you know, my numbers were starting to fade like someone
Starting point is 00:28:29 who wasn't juiced up, you know, those guys hit 40 and they're still cranking like they're 25. Right. So mine were starting to fade a little bit and my rolls probably would have been more, you know, less of a, you know, three or four hitter and more of a, you know, six, seven hitter that Platoons plays part time. So I was just kind of burned out.
Starting point is 00:28:49 Looking back, I probably should have played a couple more years. Well, I mean, just to sock away the money, but you would have missed some good formative years with the kids, right? Yeah, and I would have missed that. Once my older daughter started kindergarten, then it's like, okay, we wouldn't want to pull them out of school and move them around so it got to the point where it's like okay you know they're gonna be here and then you go three or four months without really seeing them more than a week at a time
Starting point is 00:29:10 and you know that was you know as you have two young kids so what got me thrown off my my Dodger all-star team with you true was me telling the head of show business that I don't platoon He punished me by not giving me any time and then to play then you told you called him an asshole Well, I told I told him as an asshole and then this is the Hollywood stars. Yeah Yeah, this got me thrown off the legendary fight the team I got to hang out with gonzo a little bit Right came over to our side guys him off the kicked him out of the dugout area I have to be the only guys actually been thrown off of his Hollywood all-star team Traded mid I have a good Hollywood star. I don't know if you guys were there for this game, but it was Okay, Billy Crystal was playing third Eastside Morales was playing. Drew's favorite. And Tony Danza was pitching.
Starting point is 00:30:05 Actor vest, Esi Morales. Right. So the game's about to start. They haven't even thrown the first pitch. So Danza's really into it. Sure. Billy Crystal's into it. And so Esi Morales, I don't think he's ever played baseball. So they're throwing the ball around the horn. It always goes to the third baseman who gets into the pitcher. So Tony Danza's kind of spun around facing the third baseman, facing Billy Crystal somewhere else gets the ball fires in hits Tony Dan, were you guys there for that? I don't remember hits him in the eye cuts open his eye Wow I think he had to get maybe some stitches and he's that motherfucker and he starts going after him
Starting point is 00:30:34 So Billy Crystal's breaking up piece on Alice and Tony Danza Tony Danza is in there getting stitched up or whatever with the trainers and And then couple others some of the guy broke his leg sliding in I mean it was like we're trying to get ready for game we got all these actors yeah I you know I grew up out here like you where'd you grow up chef I lived in San Jose till I was 12 and then Tustin so for me it was really exciting to play in Dodger Stadium growing up out here. It was just cool to be out. I never went to any Dodger games. I just see them on TV and stuff like that. But it was still cool to be out there. And then I showed up early to take BP and I was all fired up. That's when they're playing hardball and everything. And then when I realized my coach wasn't going to play me at all. I was like, I was basically crestfallen because I realized
Starting point is 00:31:28 I have a look of incompetence. This is something I would like to study very closely. I have a look of incompetence and I'm not sure. I'm going to work on this. We also don't look that athletic as you are. But that could be a weapon. Yeah. Oh no, I beat people up all the time. Yeah, it's great. But it's not like I'm gonna work on we also don't look that as athletic as you are but that could be a weapon, you know Yeah, oh no, I need up a beat people up all the time. Yeah, it's great But it's not good when you're trying to get in an all-star game and there's 20 people on your team and your coach looks At you and then looks at Elaine Boozler and goes I'm gonna start you
Starting point is 00:31:58 Over Corolla, which is basically what happened and I said to my I said, look, you know, you don't know me, I don't know you, but I used to play ball in high school and I can play. And I know you want to win because my guy really wanted to win. I know you want to win and that's good because I can swing the bat. And he was like, you don't tell me what to do. You sit the fuck down. Nobody tells me what to do. And I was like, I'm not, I'm not telling you what to do. sit the fuck down nobody tells me what to do and I was like I'm not I'm not telling you what to do I'm just telling you I know you don't
Starting point is 00:32:27 know me but I know you want to win and I know I don't look any different than any of these other people on this bench but I can help isn't it just one game he's managing or is it just one game and he's taking it serious taking it really serious I'm Marshall is his opposing manager the I wish I had him no he took it more seriously I think because it's just the one game of the year and then when he I sat down in between two guys and I said I ain't getting into this game and he said yeah they went oh come on and after about the third inning he would walk over he'd look at me he'd look at the guy on my right and go you go to right field next next inning and then
Starting point is 00:33:03 he'd look at me again he look at the guy to my left on the bench he goes you go to center field and he'd look at me again. He'd look at the guy to my left on the bench, he'd go, you go to center field. And he'd look at me again and walk back. And I was like, why am I being punished? I really just told him that I was a good player and I know he didn't know me and everything. And he was like, fuck you. Did you guys win?
Starting point is 00:33:18 Well, we got to the end of the game because you guys had to come out and play. And it was one of those things where it was just gonna end at noon. And it was one of the things where it's just going to end at noon and it was one of the Baldwin like Stephen Baldwin's Stephen Baldwin or something and I swear it was Issei Morales who took his place but Stephen Baldwin it was his time to hit and he'd already hit and I was like I'm looking at the scoreboard clock there's 11 minutes left in this game. So he's like Baldwin where are where are you? Baldwin's like, you know, banging someone in the bathroom in the clubhouse or something.
Starting point is 00:33:48 Baldwin's not around, so I just grab a bat, because you know, you didn't have to hit out, you could hit out a ward or whatever. I just grab a bat, I go run up, I go Baldwin's not around, and he looks at me and he goes, you sit down. Baldwin's already hit hit I've been here since 730 this morning I let's let me have a time at the plate. Now you sit down. Morales you go up there and I said and I so I sat down Morales trickles one back to the pitcher the pitcher like underhands it to the to the first baseman and I yell hey coach nice call way to get us out of the inning and he comes running over to me because he's the king of show business and he hasn't been told to fuck off in a million years he just runs up to me he's like
Starting point is 00:34:31 fucking nuts and I said fuck you and he said fuck me like it's a weird thing it's an interesting phenomenon guys who haven't been told to fuck off in like 30 years shocked. They have a look of confusion He was like what and and he said and he said are you what you know, what you say and I said I'll beat your ass right now. I'll fucking I'll bury you right here right now. I'll fucking beat you Okay, I'll kick your ass fucking old man What fuck with me pipe up? I'll beat the shit out of you, and he's like fuck you I said fuck you you want to fucking throw down a fucking throw down right now beat shit out of you right now I'll take about two punches fucking old face
Starting point is 00:35:20 He still remembers this by the way because Somebody around here works with him and he tells but I've been calling the guy a Fucking asshole my whole my whole career and fuck him need that asshole. So anyway, that's when I got traded You get told get out very similar to my my story in Toronto And I was having trouble with the manager on the same deal really and the manager who was a winning manager Who'd won the World Series? When? manager who was a winning manager who'd won the World Series when? 92, 93 both years.
Starting point is 00:35:46 Right. It had not been told to fuck off in a thousand years, right? Well, I didn't. I was scared. I didn't tell him to fuck off. I've never been in a fight in my life and he probably would have thrown down with me. But he called me in one time and told me basically he's like, you know, hey, because I went to the GM and said, hey, I want to get traded.
Starting point is 00:36:00 This guy doesn't like me. And he's like, well, give me a little time. I'm on the bench at this point. After, you know, having two good well, give me a little time. I'm on the bench at this point. After having two good years, my first couple years. And so the manager calls me, I like you, his name's Cito Gaston. Basically, but I don't think anyone
Starting point is 00:36:15 would like the way you play defense. Your feet are too big, you can't steal bases, and you're never gonna hit home runs so you start pulling the ball. So basically he's like, I like you, but basically I hate you. Right, right right and so I had to deal with that But yeah, it is it's like it is it's it's right up there with when you ask somebody Can you help me move and they go I'd love to help you move but never ends up with them helping you move
Starting point is 00:36:38 The book again will take a couple of phone calls in here the way of baseball finding stillness at 95 miles per hour Sean Green I'll tell you what drew. Yeah read this your turn baby. Give a little go don't read it feel it I feel it baby because I love these guys. It's go to meeting Seen their television ads.

Starting point is 00:38:22 guessing you saved your money and you're doing quite nicely for yourself at this stage in your life? I think so, yeah. I mean it's scary when it's you know in the market. I retired after 07 and all of a sudden 08. Oh yeah. Everything crashes. I'm like, jeez, good timing with that. But you know I I'm relying on smarter people than me to handle that stuff. Yes, that's what I do. All right, Drew, you want to? I do. I want to talk to Mason. All right so we'll take a break. Mason's using Adderall and Vivant for studying. It's interesting. Uh-huh uh-huh and you want to know if there's any negative effects. We'll talk to a 19 year old Mason from Dallas right after this.
Starting point is 00:39:00 Hi I'm Larry Miller but in a way aren't we all. And this week, on This Week with Larry Miller, we took the start of baseball season, April Fool's Day, and a couple other things and decided that today was the day for me to read Casey at the Bat as the poetry corner. It really helped me and I hope it helps you. We'll see you here. Back with Dodger, great. Sean Green and Mason on line two. That's who we promised we'd talk to. Mason?
Starting point is 00:39:40 How's it going, Adam? Dr. Drew. Good. Good. What's going on? Oh Dr. Drew. Good. Call us from Dallas. Good. What's going on? Oh, not a whole lot. I just had a question about using Adderall and Vyvanse for studying.
Starting point is 00:39:51 I know it's getting more and more popular and everything. I just read some new study that one in five teenage boys is diagnosed with ADHD. And I was wondering if there's any negative effects or if, Drew, you've had any experience with your son using it or whatnot? What's the vive? Viveants and Adderall are both psychostimulants. Viveants is sort of, these are all related to amphetamines. Drew, the one in five with ADHD is like the one, no, two out of every two and a half American women will be raped in their lifetime, kind
Starting point is 00:40:27 of thing. We're just like, what? I think we're changing the definition of rape more than they're being raped more. Right. Same thing with ADD, ADHD. I'm now officially saying if it's one in five, it's grotesquely overdone. Grotesquely. I've always said that if it's properly diagnosed at the right age with psychometric testing and whatnot, okay, the medicines work up to the age of
Starting point is 00:40:49 18. After 18, I'm not so sure, but properly selected, it's probably 1% of the population, not one out of five. Well, how's our fucking flora and fauna change that much in the last 10 years? Yeah, please don't even go there. Listen, I'm holding a cal... Oh, no, I'm going there, I'm holding a calendar up right now. It's not a picture of me. Oh, Jesus, that's a kid with a helmet on to shape its head.
Starting point is 00:41:09 Corrective helmet. Who's better looking than my son? Nobody. Who's better looking than my boy, Sonny? Who wears a cap better than your son now, too? Cap, sunglasses. He's always with that cap, man. Ascot, find me a picture of my boy.
Starting point is 00:41:22 And I was told by the doctors that his sunglasses or his glasses may not sit Correctly on his head. I said, this is insane fucking charlatans. This is bullshit There's no way that every other and then Joel McHale told me oh his kid had it and I was like and then everyone else They're oh my kid and I was like Could every could the bones in in your skull have changed as much since I was in junior high or grade school No, yeah, they're gonna look they will one day look upon this as some sort of insane Like the way they looked at Chinese people wearing the tiny shoes, right? It's gonna be some sort of insane cultural. Look at that boy. Look at that. Oh my god. It's all fuck. Oh, he's grotesque
Starting point is 00:42:01 It's like that movie the mask My god, oh this fucking assholes, but alright so an animal cuz I told them all they're idiots, right? Oh, he's grotesque. It's like that movie The Mask. Oh my God. Oh, those fucking assholes. And I'm an animal because I told them all they were idiots. Right. So the ADHD thing is overdone. Let's not even talk about that separate thing. Blah, blah, blah. But kids are using stimulants as performance enhancing drugs on college particularly. I'm not going to tell you it doesn't work because you'll tell me I'm full of shit, because it does. Well, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:42:25 I think it affects people different ways. No, no. It's been shown over and over again. It can affect positively academic performance in a single exposure. Oh, got to get some. What about the beta blockers? Beta blockers are there to prevent your body from reacting nervously. It's what I should be taking right now, but I should have taken him to some other city. No, but like if I, if me or Sean were hosting-
Starting point is 00:42:47 You would fucking fall over dead because you barely have a pulse such as it is. Your pulse would go to 20. So you would not be a candidate. Well, hold on a second. For the beta blockers or for the- Beta blockers. If I was- I might give him a little something. Yeah, go ahead. If I were taking that spirit in which it was attended which was douche spirit
Starting point is 00:43:07 spirit of the douche The beautifully scented good name for your next beverage or my next fishing vessel. There you go spirit of the douche Sean is the next jock super douchey when the football coach does the three ring circus or something he's won three Super Bowl rings or some bullshit like that's always some fucking bullshit about their rings or the cup or whatever it's like come on douche just go fucking fishing would you everyone else named their boat after their fat wife and you got a name after three fucking Super Bowl rings such a douchey move all right but all Yeah, take I'm gonna host the Oscars Why not take a beta block? You could you could then your pulse might be up to a reasonable level
Starting point is 00:43:50 We go back to your usual 40 does it does it affect your thinking in any way it shouldn't I I though always worry But I get affected by meds very easily. It's why I was worried would affect my thinking They may ever take one. No, if so, if someone is nervous and they want to do letterman. It's fine. Beta-log is harmless. It stops your heart rate from going up, it stops your muscle tone from going up. Well, I mean, let's just say you get nervous and you pit out. It would reduce some of that.
Starting point is 00:44:15 You get sweaty under the pants. Interesting. Anyway, but the Adderall does affect performance. The problem is at what risk? And I'm telling you, Mason, I've seen so many shitty things from stimulant overuse. I do a lot of consulting at some of the universities here in Southern California. I've seen psychoses, I've seen manias,
Starting point is 00:44:35 I've seen suicidality when they stop, and no one realizes it's all from the damn stimulants they're using to take their chemistry test. There's two sayings that I always quote Dr. Drew and I think are amongst his best. Adam, you're a genius. That's one. And then Adam, you're a genius. This is the second one.
Starting point is 00:44:53 Will you always quote that? And then remember this guy? Is that the other one? Remember this guy. No, he says, no free lunch is in nature. I like that. I've always thought about that. You can start doing things
Starting point is 00:45:06 where you come up with pesticides and get rid of a certain aphid, but then the other aphids will figure out, the ones that survive will figure out a way to flourish and eventually the pesticide's not gonna be effective. So no free lunches in nature and reality on reality's terms. That's right. So both those apply here,
Starting point is 00:45:23 which is you're not gonna be taking psychostimulants your whole life. Whatever your level of academic performance is, is your level. Work harder, do better. So when you get in the world, you won't have cheated yourself and be only able to perform at a certain level if you take a stimulant. And by the way, taking those stimulants, you're only exposing yourself to harm.
Starting point is 00:45:41 There will be a price. Well, also- Maybe a low one, maybe a big one. Sean is a jock, you'll know this. I mean the sort of thing where you put a nice tailwind on your ship all the time doesn't build a lot of muscle and it doesn't build it doesn't build a lot of strength in the crew. It's sort of nice to run into the wind a little bit and this notion, like I like to quote, which is one of my favorite quotes from me, Adams of genius.
Starting point is 00:46:11 No, but I think about it, astronauts go to the space station and they immediately start losing muscle mass and bone density and stuff because there's no resistance. They need resistance and it's a big issue. If you're going to be up there for four months, they have to devise all sorts of things where you create resistance because otherwise you're just floating and you're losing resistance and you're losing your body starts to atrophy. So in life, we try to avoid resistance. We should be challenging it and taking it on. Don't avoid it. That's what builds the muscle.
Starting point is 00:46:47 Yeah, right. So there you go. That's the free lunch hypothesis. It's like, let's hollow out the dumbbells so we can do more reps. Like, no, that's not a good plan. I think it's the same thing in sports as you're saying. If you're facing, as a hitter, you're facing tougher pitchers, it kind of keeps you in check because if you're facing crappy pitchers all the time, then you get in bad habits because you're trying to swing
Starting point is 00:47:06 for the fences and do this and that, but then you face a really tough guy and it kind of brings you back to earth. Pluto TV is the place for movie fans like me.

Let's talk to Luke Luke Well, I'm just enjoying a nice sunny day out here Montana nice what's going on Well, I wanted to see if you guys had any opinions About I got a girlfriend. I've been dating her for about six seven months now and
Starting point is 00:48:07 She's pretty adamant about whenever she gets married. She wants to keep her her last name. Does she have a good last name? Because that would factor in Yeah, yeah, it's whisker, but no It's Miller, but still the whole thing is It's Miller, but still the whole thing is traditional. Hold on a second. Here's my feeling. First off, when it comes to marriage, it's chick with the dress, chick picking out the dresses for the bridesmaids, floral arrangements, blah, blah, blah. It's all tipped the direction of the chick. This is really the last thing we have is we don't have to do this fucking hyphenated bullshit.
Starting point is 00:48:50 But I make exceptions for, you know, if I marry Jennifer Lopez, she gets to keep Lopez because she's earned Lopez and she's built Lopez and she's made it into a brand. It's a brand, right? You know what I'm saying? Yeah, yeah. Well, so what happens to the kids also, Luke? Does she have any feelings about what the kids' last names need to be? Or if she has a cool last name like Laser Iceblade.
Starting point is 00:49:13 Ooh. You know what I mean? Like Sheila Laser Iceblade. But what about the kids? Well, we haven't really spoke about that, but that's a great point, Drew. I don't know. Because I understand that there are three point, Drew. I don't know. What would you think? Because I understand that there are three generations, four generations down the line,
Starting point is 00:49:26 people are going to have seven hyphenated names at the end of their name. Oh, because the kids have two. I mean, you have two going into the thing and then you're going to keep your two and you're going to marry someone who had two and... You're going to have 12 hyphenated names eventually. Yes, very quickly. I think there's two arguments. One is the J.Lo argument if you're marrying someone that has a brand.
Starting point is 00:49:46 I think the other, and I have a cousin who did it, which we kind of call him a pussy for doing it. But I have two daughters, I have a sister, so the green name's gone. So maybe for some family reason they want to keep the name, so maybe it's- Well, also a grandpa or uncle or whoever hit four dingers in one game back in 02. No, I'm honest. I mean, honestly, like, hey, if your last name is Coors, not Miller, is the last name Miller Light.
Starting point is 00:50:17 No, but seriously, like, if you got a name, you know, Anheuser-Busch or Bush or Anheuser or something or Sears or Robuck, whatever, like somebody worked, struggled, earned, and you know, you're a Kennedy or a Carnegie or a Carnegie or whatever they're pronouncing it this week on KCRW. That's something else, that's a factor because hey, your last name's Kennedy. And that not only is going to open a couple doors for your for your kids that's gonna be helpful on the college application. I actually admire what my wife did she gave her middle name to my daughter as a middle name and she kept her last name as a middle name and then my name last
Starting point is 00:50:58 name became her last name that makes sense to me. Yeah that's confusing and narcissistic. No, no, no, but isn't that reasonable? Yeah. However it shakes out that she took the good name of Pinsky and cashed it on. It's a pretty good name. I'm sure she didn't welcome that, but she kept hers and kept that identity and offered a piece of it to her daughter. It was good.
Starting point is 00:51:22 Lou, you know what I think the deal should be for all this and everyone who argues about this? What's that? Here's the deal. Your last name is what? Miller. Oh, you're Miller? Wait a minute, I thought she was Miller. No, no, no, she's Stevenson. Okay, Miller Stevenson. Stevenson Miller. Decent law firm. Here's what I would say. I would say this. How about this. We're going with the mono last name, which is myo, my last name. We'll do that. But I'll tell you what, if I don't have some degree of success in something business, if I don't invent something, if I don't get my name on a sign in front of a store. You give me 10 years to get my shit together. Again, become a partner in a law firm, something, then we'll go back to the hi-finated thing. Or just make it a full competition where whoever has a better career for 10 years gets the
Starting point is 00:52:15 name. Ooh, I like that. We like the meritocracy, right? We like the competition. That would be a really cool thing to do. You guys would be a really cool thing to do you guys be fighting constantly But it would force both couples both both of them to kind of bust their butt in education And try to climb that career ladder and so on and so forth. All right, should we do one more call here?
Starting point is 00:52:38 Let's talk to Jonathan 28 from Ohio Jonathan. Hey, how's it going guys? Good, how you doing? Good, big fan of both you and thanks for everything you guys do. Thanks. Yeah, I just wanted to call and get you guys opinion on a situation I have regarding the relationship with my mom.
Starting point is 00:52:58 She is just kind of a crazy person and everything came to a head a couple months ago and we kind of exchanged some emails and some frank talk and during that time I came to believe that I think she was sexually abused by her dad and she obviously hadn't sought the proper treatment and I don't know, I just wanted to get you guys' thoughts on whether you think I should kind of like push her to get more treatment or just accept her for how she is. All right.
Starting point is 00:53:26 So basically you're asking how to deal with an adult family member with severe mental health issues that doesn't acknowledge it and doesn't want treatment. How old is she? She is 55. Yeah. And she's late in life. She's young. Later in life.
Starting point is 00:53:40 Well, no, but I mean, my mother-in-law had the dignity to just die. Yeah. And she was nuts. Yeah, yeah. But I mean, I can tell you, I was there when the cops were summoned, and I basically pulled her aside and I just said, Helen, you can either get into the ambulance and go to the hospital and be checked out by people who care, or the LAPD is going to show up and they're forcibly take you. They will be, they will like put zip ties on you and they will drag you and she said
Starting point is 00:54:11 go get them. Yeah. And they fought in the living room. Yeah, yeah. So that's what you do in a crisis. When she gets dangerous and crazy and disconnected from reality, you do exactly what Adam did. You go, we're going this way or this way, but we're not continuing the status quo. I, by the way, I know you're nuts. I know everyone's nuts, but I am incredibly surprised
Starting point is 00:54:31 by the number of people where I go, then here's how this is going to play out. We're going to call the cops. We're going to sit here and wait. By the way, it's fucking Friday night. I work every day of the fucking week. Fucking sit here Friday night in Recita. So we're going to fucking sit on your shitty sofa with the plastic on it and swam in the cooler above it. And we're gonna wait for the cops. And then when the cops show up, they're gonna physically restrain you and they're gonna push you into the back of that.
Starting point is 00:54:55 Now, that's what's going to happen. You get in now, or I pick up this phone and she goes, give them a call, and then the cops show up, and now the cops are here. And I go, now you have a second choice. You can show up and now the cops are here and I go now You have a second choice You can walk and get into the back of that ambulance or they can physically restrain you and pull you in and she said come Get me and she fought.
