Episode Date: February 8, 2025

Comedian French Stewart stopped by to speak with the fellas. They also talk about 70's pop culture and Adam gets annoyed by the word..."annoying."

Welcome back for another edition of the Adam and Dr. Drew Show Classics. I am your host, Big Brother Jake. Let's get it started. First up is episode 1726 that aired on May 28th, 2023. Adam gives relationship advice when you're in an argument with your woman and he hates the word annoying Take a listen There are people who I have great

Disdain or lack of respect for mm-hmm and I Had a lack of respect for my mom. I have a lack of respect for Joe Biden I have a lack of respect for like Adam Schiff and Kamala Harris, but I would never say I'm annoyed No by them. I'm just there's character Many people I think have deep character issues, but I do not I wish they were annoying versus deeply Deep issues with character. You know what I'm saying? Yes, I know what you're saying And I've never concerning that annoying

I've never and and I guess is as close as guys get to Calling people annoying is maybe obnoxious, but that's a woman thing too Well, not you're obnoxious and annoying. Yeah obnoxious for a male means there's usually aggression in there too. Yeah. To women, obnoxious is a annoying person who's drunk. That's basically how you move from annoying to obnoxious. Yes. And it all is a relative of disgust. And we know there's just a biological thing where women are much more tuned into disgusting things, disgusting smells, disgusting images. It harkens back to protecting infants from infectious material or dangerous material.

They have a very powerful reactant to disgust. And so annoying becomes something they pull away from. Again, disgust is a highly motivating feeling. It moves you away from something. And annoying starts to drift into, I'm moving away, disgusting. Yeah. And it's interesting. And I think a lot of it is sort of tribal, you know, in the sense that I'll meet a lot of women or talk to a lot of women. They'll be like, Oh, I love Michelle Obama. I love Oprah. And it's like, what do you love about them? You know, what do you mean? It's sort of like they're one of us or something or they care or whatever that thing is. But it's nothing, like if you asked me what I like about

Mark Geragas or Ben Shapiro, I wouldn't be like, hey, he's one of us, you know what I mean? It'd be like, these guys are deep thinkers and they have lots of interesting insights. And ideas. And ideas, not like, he looks like me. You know what I mean he likes stuff too like 13 art he talking neither of them are into the mechanics he talks about the children

of the world and how someone needs to do something for the children of the world Adam need a place at the table yeah and it's like yep that's nothing talk why why do you like that well they're talking about it you know what I mean but what are they doing and it's like, yeah, that's nothing talk. Why do you like that? Well, they're talking about it, you know what I mean? But what are they doing? And there's something exciting about but as I was saying to true so women are annoyed. And they find people annoying. And also, let me posit this through. Also, let me posit this through When women use the word Them being annoyed by somebody. I think there's a method to their semi-retarded madness. Oh Women do not like to be assailed on stuff or confronted on stuff like that Every argument I've ever had with a woman that involved some date or some time or something at some point you

start reaching for your phone and go let me just show you the email you sent me three days and they go oh fuck you and they storm out you're so annoying they don't fact they're not fact-based they're not interested in the nuts and the bolts of... It's being impinged upon is annoying. But let me just say this. If you said to me, you know, this person, if you said this person or that person is X, Y or Z, then I would say, well, you know, give me some examples. Oh, they're wrong about X, Y or Z. Well, what did they say about it? And be specific.

And let's see if we can clear this up. Or you express to me what it is. If you say you're annoyed by somebody, there is no argument. There's no counterbalance there's no there's no well now it's time for me to prevent present the facts and in my case you're just annoyed this is when you're annoyed by somebody you're just like an Indian having a bad feeling you know what I mean is you like walk into the valley yes or or a dog who knows that the the new boyfriend is bat is a bad

dude you know it's like well how do you argue against annoyed no you can't argue against annoyed and that's why i think women use it a lot because they'll say you know your friend he annoys me it's very you know and you go art's a great dude and he And he's a good dad and he's smart and he tells the funny stories. He's annoying. Now, what do you do with annoying? You can't argue against it, which is what they like because they don't want to deal in sort of facts and data. It pulls them away from that person and it's close-ended.

It just ends the relationship. And so if you're on a date and the girl goes, why'd you end the date? He was annoying. Right. Nothing, nothing specific ever. Like I didn't like how he parted his hair or anything. Just annoying. Well, you could say, right. Cause if they said his breath was bad, then the guy could say, I brushed my teeth and floss before I walked out of the apartment. Or not like that, but thank you. Thank you for telling me. I can correct that.

Or we ordered the garlic-based whatever, maybe that was something. But annoying, it just covers all. But think about this. You had pointed out years ago how women, when they are not annoyed by someone and are attracted to them, they'll find reasons to orbit in their proximity, including touching, like the hand drag. Remember that whole thing? Sure. And back when we were that age when that meant something.

But the women will actually touch even, while if they're annoyed, they go the other direction. Right. And so I think that annoying that there's a there's a better word than value put on being at ease. They like funny because it makes me at ease. Yes. So the annoying is the is I'm not at ease around this person so he's annoying. Women you know if you really think about giving away 50 pounds of muscle to the creatures that want to have sex with you, you would need to be relaxed. You know what I mean? The number, your number one state would want to be being relaxed.

Well, and it turns out that estrogen is very much tied into that function and something that's called receptivity. The muscles literally have to relax. Do, like, as a guy who's walking around at 200 pounds, if you're on the airport shuttle and some guy sits next to you and he's 250 pounds, there's a part of you that's like, who is this guy? Like, does he? And you know, if you look at his phone and he's listening to the best of ABBA or something

like that, you go, okay, I'll relax. You know what I mean? But if you're wearing like a Raiders jersey or something, you're like, I better kind of keep, you know, there's a physical component so there's a phenomenon there that nobody talks about because it's all goes under the heading of toxic masculinity but that women don't appreciate is that men are always on alert for violence right we're always assessing other men always right and it when we were young it typically turned to violence right and we you think Chris and Ray were doing to you?

Violence of the highest order. But I was walking with a woman and we walked across a bridge and we saw a shallow but large and broad pond filled with koi fish, large koi fish. I don't even know the difference between carp and koi fish. Oh, I don't either. And then maybe the same thing.

Want to kind of look it up? Maybe a carp is a bigger koi. Let's see. These are large koi fish. It could have been carp. Okay. Carp versus koi. I'm just going to look it up. And then they were swimming and it was very serene and it was lovely and it was tranquil and we stood on the bridge and looked down on the koi slash carp swimming around and Then noticed ducks

The ducks were not in the water. The ducks were standing on the Embankment on the edge is sort of a formed cement hard edge and up about a foot from the water line, and they stood there. Koi are types of carp. Yes, exactly. And the ducks were standing out of the water on the edge. So the ducks are not in the water,

there's koi flying around, and they're just standing over there on the ledge. Well, the kois aren't flying around. They're swimming as they would do. Yeah, they're just sort of milling about. And then she said, I bet the ducks aren't in the water because they're annoyed by the fish. But there's that pulling away thing again.

The fish annoy them? Yep. She saw the pull away and she assumed annoyance, disgust, pull away. Yeah, now I don't know a ton about ducks, but they appear to be sunning themselves or drying themselves off or I don't know what they were doing, but I Don't think they were out of the water because the fish were annoying them Now the fish could have been doing something to them, but annoying The thing that's comical is no ducks get annoying. No animal gets annoyed It's not something that applies to the animal. Does she know we're talking about this?

I don't know. King snakes don't get annoyed. You know what I mean? Gators, no reptiles get annoyed. Fowl doesn't get annoyed. They get scared. They get scared or they get aggressive. But they don't get annoyed. And I thought that was so interesting.

Friend of the show, French Stewart phoned in to talk with the fellas. Check it out. All right. Something for you guys to look for that made me laugh. Biden the other week was given a gun control speech. It's fine, usual stuff. There's this new thing though, it's gun violence. It's not violence, it's the gun, the person with the gun, which is essentially like blaming the car for drunk drivers.

That's not the car. You're not supposed to drive it this way. Right? I don't know. Is there a difference? They're both things that could kill other people if not used correctly. So you, we don't blame the car for drunk driving deaths. We blame the driver. Why not blame the guy holding the gun? But this is just gun violence. It's not

violence. Yeah, it's gun violence. So and so with that in mind, we should a get rid of the guns and B we should get rid of cars well if they're gonna be involved with drunk driving yeah same logic so it's the exact same logic right right so the gun violence is caused because there are guns and the homeless problem is caused because there's no home yeah so and one problem is caused because there is something and the other thing is caused because there's no homes. And one problem is caused because there is something. And the other thing is caused because there isn't something. There's no homes, but there's guns. So there's violence because there are guns and there's people's rotting in the street

because they don't have homes. It's the same brain. I mean, it's the same logic. Which is utterly flawed and could never lead to a decrease in gun violence or homeless. And yet if you really believe that everything

about the human being, everything was caused by the environment, well, the kind of, you gotta go that way. You got to be persuaded by that, wouldn't you? But he gave this speech, I don't know, I mean, Ben can find it, but this funny thing where he like reeled off at the end when he was talking about all the shootings, you know what I mean?

But it's always schools. It's never South Side of Chicago. It's just school shootings, you know, he he He peeled them off. He peeled off like five of them like Vivaldi and whatever town and whatever he just he just rattled him off and then He explained that he'll never forget any of those things that he you know thinks about it every night before he goes to bed and that kind of stuff, but I was like Clearly all those names were in a prompter. Of course, there's no possible way Biden could

have got through the whole thing. Well, the whole thing. But I'm saying you couldn't rattle off five mass school shootings from the last eight years if it wasn't loaded up in a prompter. But the next thing that was in the prompter was he'll never forget which was kind of ironic because they wouldn't put it in the prompter if he didn't forget except he wouldn't have any recollection at all yeah we're not in the prompter yeah they'll find it made me laugh i just wrote it down ironically okay so french stewart's back french stewart's back french french stewart back French Stewart's back French French Stewart hey can you hear us how are you I can can you hear me yeah so you moved to Atlanta what happened oh I did I did 40 years in LA and that was good for me and I just during the pandemic I figured out that I could I could live anywhere and so I

Went cheaper where there's rain and I like it. I love it here. Oh, yeah Where are you in Atlanta? Are you outside Atlanta? Yeah, I'm just inside like I'm Well, I mean I'm not gonna give you an address so a crazy person with a gun that you love so much and come to My home But we should reset this so so he called last show we Adam did a bunch of thumping to make sure Verify this is in fact French and we did such we verified and it certainly sounds like French and I was saying that I I was thinking about him lately, weirdly, and I wonder what happened to him.

Everything okay? Are you good? Oh, I'm great. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I did like a three-show spin on a new show on ABC, Will Trent. I always kind of, you know, I kind of plop along. But, you know, next year I'm turning 60, so I'm kind of like, you know know I'm winding down and enjoying my life and my kid and just doing you know just a little bit less and kind of picking my shots I'm gonna do a movie next month I did a movie last week and so I just kind of take it as it comes I'm glad because I he's so talented I totally yeah so what have you guys I appreciate that I appreciate that thank

you it's always been a pleasure to talk to both of you. I really, I loved the old days over at K-Rock where, you know, we could like answer calls for teenagers and then, you know, you go out there and like Rodney is standing there with his imperceptible radio voice. And you're just like, oh, it's Rodney on the Rock. What's going on? It was Kevin and Bean. It was really, they were lovely days.

And you guys did some, I think you guys did some heavy lifting for some teenagers with problems really. Yeah, it was a very interesting time in space and radio and city. And you know, obviously none of us appreciated it like we should have during the time but looking back on it, it was a really interesting time. I mean I interviewed Frazier Smith the other day. Oh Frazier, yeah. And I'm like I forgot he started on K-Rock.

Oh very early, yeah he was very early. With like 76. Yes. To like 80. Like it's crazy. And when it was below a church and things across the street from where it is now, yeah, where it was for a minute. Yeah, but there wasn't like one place that you would go to that... Like I would go to the Ice House in Pasadena and Frasier Smith. He's like hosting the Ice House and then you go to some

other... Like the improv, there's Frasier Smith. He's like in a shark skin suit. But, you know, like, yeah, that was lovely. It was like him and, oh gosh, who else was there? I mean, Kevin and Bean, clearly. But this is the thing that people didn't appreciate, can't appreciate now, is radio was a very powerful medium in this, you know, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s. I mean, it's how you defined yourself was what radio station you listen to and that kind of thing. I remember going into like, do Kevin and Bane and Jimmy Kimmel was bringing me coffee. Yeah, that's right.

Like that seems insane. He would do a sports update and then he would come, he would give me coffee. Like that should ever happen again Well, you know one of the keys to Jimmy success and I run into it a lot There's a lot of people that are like that's not my job. You know, I mean I had people yeah quit here Yes, I told him to clean their office and they're like, I'm not that's not my job. You know what I mean? And it's like Jimmy never looked at anything as not his job when he was done doing the sports Then he would run down and get the guests a coffee if a guest wanted a coffee You know, he could have went I am the sports guy I don't get coffee, but he looked at everything is potentially being his job. There's nothing beneath it

That makes perfect sense to me. And it's, you know, it's like when we were kids, they used to, I think you and I are roughly the same age. But I think that when we were kids, they actually like taught citizenship. And so you would like you would have a class on citizenship and how to be a good citizen. And sometimes it wasn't about, yeah, it like you know keeping your front porch clean so that other people didn't have to look at your nonsense and if you took care you space then you know everybody's space was a little bit better. It's called the golden rule. Nobody knows what it is anymore. And also the golden rule and the tragedy of the

commons. Those are the two things. What's the tragedy of the commons? It's essentially where you have a common, a common, just what French is referring to, where you have common space and somebody just takes advantage of it because they can. That's where we're at. French, good catching up with you. We'll have you on my program whenever. Absolutely. I just saw you guys on and my heart warmed because I just remembered

you know chatting with you in the old days and chatting with you a little more recently, but I love you dearly and have a fantastic day. We'll be right back with more of the Adam and dr. Drew show classics Last up for today. We have episode 1612 titled The Quiet Narcissism which aired on August 18th, 2022. Adam and Drew talk about the phenomenon of quiet narcissism and how it flies under the radar. Here we go. Here's the problem with society as it is in humanity and the state as it is.

People go, okay, Fauci said that. And then you got Jay Bhattacharya and you got Alex and Baronson and Dr. Victory and all that stuff. And you go, oh, they're saying the opposite. You know, they're saying the opposite. So now you go, oh, well, CNN says the laptop is a fake, and then Tucker Carlson says it's real. So we're tied or they're just saying that, you know, because they said this.

Well, by the way, that's how the ladies from the view work. But that's not how Alex Berenson works. Fauci and Rochelle Walensky and the CDC are getting a lot wrong. And Alex Berenson is saying the opposite, but he happens to be right. So everyone just goes, oh, he says that and he says that. And it's like, yeah, but one of them is more accurate than the other. But not only that. That's what I'm trying to fucking tell. Everyone's like, he says the laptop doesn't exist, and he says the laptop does exist. Even. So they're just saying the opposite of what.

Yeah, they are, except for it exists. It's projection again. They're fucking retards. But it's projection again, but isn't that one of them presenting manifestations of Trump derangement? You do the opposite. Yes. That's Trump derangement again. Yes. So it's a projection. I have Trump derangement, therefore you do the opposite. That's Trump derangement again. So it's a projection.

I have Trump derangement, therefore I'm assuming you do, and you're doing the opposite just the way I do the opposite. It's projection, fucking projection. Trump wants to beef up the border. Well, then take down that fence. And it's like, okay, that is the opposite, but how do you think this is gonna work? Doesn't matter. That's the weird thing. So tell me about narcissism. So to me, that feels like the narcissistic thing you were talking about.

Everybody who has real Trump derangement is, I guarantee, is off the... Well, projection is a narcissistic thing. It's narcissistic. So there's the projection. It's narcissistic. Here's what I've... Why did he trigger that? Here's what I've... Here's what I've... Here's what I understand very clearly. You've seen it in your life a million times. Two narcissists can't hang out in the same workplace.

No. You can have zero narcissists or you can have one narcissist and one person that's flexible. My daughter is very driven, hard-headed and moving forward. My son is a lot more flexible. They're able to sort of cohabitate together because one is flexible and one is driven. Put two hard-driving people in the same place and there's there's headbutting concept cannot kind of be done how many times have you heard somebody you like work with or deal with where they go I can't fucking deal with that guy he's

such a whatever it's like yeah you can't deal with them because you're not flexible and you're a narcissist I mean I used to say it all the time I wouldn't say narcissist I'd say look you can, two nice people can share an office, an asshole and a nice person can share an office, two assholes can't fucking share an office and both of them think it's the other one. But I just sit back and I've seen a thousand versions of this. But why does that trigger the opposite thing? You got to do the opposite of that person.

It's one thing to go, I can't stand that guy, he drives me crazy, but to then insist on the opposite at all times. Because your narcissism... It's very weird. The narcissism... It's counter-tunative to me. ...requires action. So the narcissist looks at everything as being pointed to, delivered, and directed toward them.

So everything's about them, you know what I mean? And so that's the first trait is it's about them. Now you can have my mom and my dad's sort of quiet narcissism, which is everything is about them, but it's not really about them being grandiose, it's about them not driving you somewhere or cooking you a meal Being impinged upon some yeah, just I don't do anything for anybody. I just do me. Yeah, you know what I mean? Yes, but Then there's a more active quiet Sounds like a bad radio station now more Kenny G. It's a quiet narcissist

Q&A and such a great turn though. It's so true. It's a descriptive of what I particularly you could argue that my mom and my dad Were the ultimate narcissist. Yeah, you know what I mean? Yeah, I know it will passive aggression is what that's saved for repair severe passive aggressive people See, I think people's relationship with narcissism is screwed up like people Think I'll give you an example if you put Mark Garagos in a room and you put my dad in a room and you had observers 100% of people would think Mark Garagos was the narcissist in this equation because he's big.

And he's telling people, meet me here, get me that, do that, meet me there, do this, do that, you know what I mean? And with the occasional big laugh and a pat on his own back, right? He is not the narcissist in this equation. My dad is the narcissist. He's the guy who's never done anything for anybody. Mark does tons of stuff for other people all the time. So that's the problem. We don't, we don't, I know, it's not as it pertains to what you're saying. it's not the problem. But what I'm saying is is we don't fully understand and recognize Narcissism so my dad is much more impacted by Trump than

Garagas now Garagas you think oh that guy's gonna go on a diatribe about no He doesn't have Trump derangement syndrome. Yeah, my dad has it. Yeah And my mom has and when they have it, they immediately jump to, well that guy is a psychopath, Trump. And my next thing is, and I really am just, I'm so curious, what did he do? What exactly are you talking about? They're also, narcissists You said the brown people got it. Narcissists cannot evaluate motivation clearly because they're so involved with everything. They can't do it. So there's a lot. You'll notice the trait of the narcissist is, you know that person over there is not

doing X, Y, or Z because they're jealous because they saw me, blah, blah, blah. It seems like their motivation is, has nothing to do with you. As usual, right. As usual. Yeah. But now Trump is a narcissist. Yes, we agree on that. Yes. But but in a in a in a sort of with a practical application. And by the way, I am not one to I don't mind a narcissist who goes, we're gonna beat the Nazis. Yeah. You know know that that may be a narcissist I was gonna say that has an application So I was gonna say is that the be very careful about psychological and psychiatric constructs being strictly speaking

Pejorative about them because people are paying the ass to be around if you are Want somebody flying a fighter plane you want to fuck a narcissist you want an alcoholic? Our whole it's absolutely exactly who you want In fact, I had a friend a psychiatrist that used to select for that to put them into the flight attendant flight Fighter pilot school. Yeah, he'd go they'd look for narcissists and alcoholics that were sort of under control Yeah, he worked for the Navy and that's what they did. Yeah. I mean look just to be clear We're not talking about nipping off a flask in the middle of a sortie. No, no, no. We're talking about drinking hard that when you come back from the sortie.

The genetics, the person, a survivor with a bigger than life sense of themselves. I was talking to one of the guys that trained me out in the desert and he said, yeah, when you go in, 12 of us go into the Mujahideen, he called it confidence. He goes, you got gotta have overconfidence. You gotta be thinking you're gonna do this and not have any doubt about it. Yeah, so most the people I know with the Trump syndrome are, I think when you're trying to figure out

what the gene is, like why are these people so greatly affected? It is narcissism. Pure and simple. That's the one overriding. You think it affects you. This is an attack. There's also this kind of, it's a grandiosity where you need to fix the border, the environment, the water, the Indians,

it's just a thing, you know, where you think you're... I mean, think about the grandiosity of feeling like if we clean up our emissions in California, that's going to end global warming. You know what I mean? Just think about how big China is and how big India is and how big Africa and here we are this little Heard of 10 million people in Los Angeles County. We're like we're gonna fix it Yeah, we're gonna fix these people who we're burning dung, you know for heat

Somewhere this thing about the bizarre burning dung for heat somewhere. This thing about the bizarre, say about how grandiose that thought is. So it does feel like the feature that is the most, there's two features of all this. Think about every celebrity that is big into the green movement. All narcissists. That's all for this week.
