Recorded live at Corolla One Studios with Adam Corolla and board certified physician and addiction medicine specialist, Dr. Drew Pinsky. You're listening to the Adam and Dr. Drew Show. Yeah. Get it on.
Starting point is 00:02:00 Little known fact, Adam went to a Buddhist church. Yeah. Yeah, that's why he knows the Nome Young Ring in Kyu. Nome Young Ho, Ring in Kyu. Microwave oven. Microwave oven. Go Hansen. What?
Starting point is 00:02:14 What's this? You know what a Go Hansen is? No. I think it's called a Go Hansen. It's like a little Buddhist temple thing. Put some fruit there. Yeah, a little fruit offerings To the gods to the guy feed the gods feed the gods
Starting point is 00:02:32 Hackman died my friend. Yes. I know what you think of that. I Know a lot about this and I I called it early. You did. Yeah. Well, I Were they were going real deep, and like, you know, he had heart issues. He was 95. Yes. And with severe dementia. Everyone who's 95 has heart issues.
Starting point is 00:02:53 Yes. Number two, everything is always complicated, though, because at some point they interviewed a friend of his, and it's like, he was going to Pilates classes every day, and it's like, he was going to Pilates classes every day. And I'm like, he was going to Pilates classes every day? That doesn't sound like he was in ill health. No. And all the zombies... So what is the fucking... He'd walk every day, it's constitutional, it's every day. It's like, no. What came out today is his wife kept him alive for the last 10 years. He would have been dead a long time ago without her constant engagement, supervision,
Starting point is 00:03:27 involvement, caretaking. And that's, I think, exactly correct. A 95-year-old male in particular with severe dementia, that is a bed case, that is a bedridden case. And if you can get them out of bed, it's with, sometimes, dual assist, but at least one person assist, which is the wife, right? And if he was able to get dressed and go walk somewhere,
Starting point is 00:03:51 believe me, if you said hygiene, he'd just kind of look vacantly back at you. And if she were not there holding him, he would go down. Maybe it was with a walker. They said he had a cane, probably a stroke cane, you know, those four prpronged canes. So did you have any thoughts? Because I knew exactly what had happened.
Starting point is 00:04:08 I knew it immediately. I didn't know why. Well, I had a couple theories, but they were all basically the same, which is when you take a very old bed patient with dementia and you abandon them, they end up on the floor and die. That's just what happens. They either get out of bed trying to go pee, or they get out of bed trying to go to the phone,
Starting point is 00:04:27 or they get out of bed trying to go outside because they're kind of out of it, don't know what's going on. They fall down, they stay there for three days, and they're dead. That's it. Now, what bugged me is the quarter, like he died of kidney failure,
Starting point is 00:04:39 but he didn't have dehydration. What the fuck are you talking about? I mean, he had heart failure, so he had excess fluid on board already from the heart failure. So how could you even determine? Look, he laid there not having fluids of food in the ground. That's what happens with elderly people.
Starting point is 00:04:56 Look, I am not as fascinated with this stuff as many, because I figure historically this has happened as fascinated with this stuff as many, because I figure historically this has happened two billion times throughout history. That's exactly right, common things happen commonly. That's what a boy's down to. Yes, number one. Number two, once you, you know, I don't know, my dad made it to 92 or 93.
Starting point is 00:05:21 You know, once you get to 95, you die. The people seem to be basing these kind of arguments on like, will you never die? Well, they never exposed to a 95 year old. They think of 60 or 70 as the person 95. This is the same person that wants to live to 120, by the way, has never seen a 90 year old. Good luck with that, man.
Starting point is 00:05:42 30 years like that, oh shit. It's because you've never seen it or you don't understand it's going to happen. Yeah and it oftentimes happens pretty fast. The last year or what have you. Well there's a cliff. There's a cliff that people can't fall off. There's a cliff. And you know my dad's been dead I don't know four months or whatever. Ten months ago, I'd be visiting him and we'd be sitting in the living room, having a conversation. Which is remarkable, all by itself. That's already defying the odds right there.
Starting point is 00:06:17 Good for him. Yeah. And two years ago or three years ago when he's just 89, we're having an argument, you know, like a spirited argument. He's blowing into his horn, you know, like, and then at some point, you hit something and then it happens pretty fast. Yeah. After that, same thing with my mom, I think my grandma and my grandpa basically same. Everyone lived to a ripe old age, but they went from doing pretty good for a 90-year-old to, oh boy, and then it's over. Yeah. And no doubt he was there. Now, the odd part was the wife being down in the bathroom
Starting point is 00:06:57 with the spilled pills. That was like, that's not the usual thing. And lo and behold, it wasn't. It was hantavirus. Now hantavirus doesn't usually cause people, I've seen hantavirus, it usually caused like pneumonia and fever. I'm not used to taking people down to the floor all of a sudden and then die there. That's kind of odd and weird but it happens. The spilled pills, lots of speculation about the pills, thyroid medicine, thyroid replacement. Yeah, I know, listen, I know people, that's, when I said spilled pills, they love to do that, but it's like, first off, she's probably on three different medications, and she may have been taking them
Starting point is 00:07:34 She was a lot younger than she was. And knocked them over. Yeah, that's right. What's, why? Yeah, why all the craziness. And yes, the part that bothers me the most about this is people don't understand how common falls are in the elderly and what the consequences of those falls are. Super common. I just had to say, I literally was discussing at lunch with a couple and we were discussing
Starting point is 00:08:11 And we were discussing Dennis Prager having a slip in the bathroom and having a very serious fall and being paralyzed. What? Oh, you didn't know about that? No. Oh. Is he okay now? Well, I mean, sort of, but I mean, kind of. I'll get into it. Paralyzed from the neck down? No, quad. Quad. And... get into it. Paralyzed from the neck down? No, quad.
Starting point is 00:08:25 Quad. That's quad. Neck down. Oh, I'm sorry. Sorry. Neck down, sorry. Neck down and was having trouble speaking, but some of that was trach stuff and voice stuff, having the tubes and stuff. I didn't get into that with you, Jesus Christ. No, I had no idea. Well, there's news, there's newer news. It's kind of a weird thing. Okay, well, it's worth getting into.
Starting point is 00:08:55 He's how old now? I believe he's 75. Okay, so. Let me just frame it. Shit happens to men in their 70s. That's just part of the deal. Well, here's where I blame you. I was out to lunch and I was talking to a friend and I don't know where it came... Dennis Prager came up.
Starting point is 00:09:16 Well, no, no, no. I was eating at a restaurant where Prager eats every night. Prager does not eat at home. He does not eat home cooked meals. He, for whatever reason, which I don't blame him for, just goes down the street to this cafe and just eats his supper there. And that's the way he likes it. And I think his wife doesn't like cooking for him and stuff, so good. I don't care. Yeah, look, if you make money and that's where you choose to spend it, that's so, so be it.
Starting point is 00:09:47 And by the way, you go to the supermarket, you get out of there, it's $186. It's like, I... I say for two people, it's not that different because stuff goes bad, you have to judge it. So anyway, I said to him, I said, you know, Prager always eats at this restaurant, like right here. I used to see him all the time when I lived in the neighborhood.
Starting point is 00:10:04 I'd walk around at night, like seven o'clock at night, and I'd just walk past, I'd see him sitting there. And I'd always join him and hang out a little bit. Are we allowed to say where? Is that a curiosity? It's in Locke and Yotta, California. And so I said, yeah, well, he took a bad spill in the tub. And then this guy said, yeah, I know when I get in the tub sometimes I'm like, whoa, you know. And I said, yeah, I was just
Starting point is 00:10:35 living at Drew's house. And... Oh, that bathroom. Yeah. That's why I kept telling you to use the back bathroom. I said, I take that cold shower in the morning and that cold water hits and all of a sudden I'm like whoa. I have told her that shower's gotta go. I've said that a multiple times now so. Well it's slick fiberglass tub. It's like somebody said look it's fiberglass tub. It's like if somebody said stand on. All right you just did it. That's it. That thing's going.
Starting point is 00:11:07 Stand on the hood of this Corvette and I'm gonna spray you with a hose. Nude. And then you kinda lather up. Lather up and kinda walk in a half circle. See how long you last on the hood of that fucking thing. I was like, no, I don't use soap, so I don't have to worry about that. So good. And you'd love it not a lick of hot water touch this body.
Starting point is 00:11:28 It was like, cold, freezing water coming out of those pipes. Thank you. I just hit, but I have a little game where I have to kind of turn around, you know, let it... And I had a couple of... You know, like, whoa. And I'm like, oh, this shit has to happen all day, every day. Especially when you're older, my God.
Starting point is 00:11:47 Yeah. And get a couple of those little daisies with the skid tape on them and just stick them down to the fucking floor. Trust me. But the most common... Before then, I will do that. Daphne, I'm telling you right now, and this is my gift to you. Daphne, give her those daisies. I'm telling you right now, and this is my gift to you. They have to give me those daisies. Go online, get the non-skid adhesive. Yeah. You get six of them.
Starting point is 00:12:14 Yeah, I know what you're talking about. Literally, it's a $4. They still make that as Eleftover from the 60s. It's a $4 investment that would've saved Dennis Prager's life, essentially. My kids use that bathroom once in a while. I can't have that. I don't care how spry you are, you can eat shit.
Starting point is 00:12:29 And one of those... Yeah, and first of all, most of the serious accidents in the home happen in the bathroom. Cause you usually have a tile floor, not skid fruit, the shower, the tub, and the back of the tub is what you hit when you fall back. Right. So it goes right to your head or your neck.
Starting point is 00:12:48 And the spigot coming out of the wall, some fucking weapon. I'm always curious, like I was at the Equinox gym in Glendale and I was making my way from the shower room into the steam room with the towel around me, I was just barefoot. At some point as I'm getting to the steam, I was like, whoa, I got a hydroplane for, I mean, I'm like, I don't know if this is like the greatest surface to be walking on when it's wet. How do institutions and hotels not get in trouble with that shit? You know what I mean? That's what I don't understand. In a world of codes, in a world of codes, the fiberglass with the clear resin over tub and not a sharp angle in it, just everything's a cyclorama, with the water spigot above it,
Starting point is 00:13:38 while you just stand there hungover, how does that not happen? I mean, why is that even legal? Ordering them right now. What do you call it? Non-stick? I don't know. What is it called? Non-stick. Or, let me stick on. Alright. Anyway, the point is, is... Alright, let me talk about the great magnet. Okay.
Starting point is 00:14:00 The great magnet. You ready? Hold on. Now... Oh, yeah. The great magnet. You ready? Hold on. Now, you can buy a mat that just sticks down. That's all you need. I'm not sure that'll fly, but I've got the daisies coming. Here we go. It's all kinds of shapes. Why don't you get the ones shaped like a fish so people think they're in the ocean. They're on top. It's nice, Drew. The fishy. The ones like a fish. All right. People think they're in the ocean. It's not a tub. It's nice, Drew, the fishy. It wants like a fish.
Starting point is 00:14:25 All right, people think they're in the sea. Let me try the fish. You know, they're in Pasadena. Here it comes. All this fish. There's fish, there has to be fish. That's the way society works. Oh, wait, there's an octopus.
Starting point is 00:14:37 Okay. All right, let Daphne order that, on me. You can order it? On me. Okay, send it to my home. On me, in lieu of rent. All right. In lieuaphne order that, on me. You can order it? On me. Okay, send it to my home. On me, in lieu of rent. All right. In lieu of one month's rent.
Starting point is 00:14:49 I'll give you 80 cents worth of stickers, how about that? I'm gonna send Daphne my address. On me. Okay. On me. Well, they'll send them here and you can just pick them up. All right, come on Drew, put the phone down, it's enough. Okay, so then in the... So Dennis takes a bad fall,
Starting point is 00:15:10 clips his neck and is quadriplegic and is in a... Shit. Halo? No, not in a halo, but I don't know what he was in. By the time I saw him, he was... what he was in. By the time I saw him, he was... I was having a conversation with him via a laser pointer that was clipped over his ear that he was pointing to letters on a wall board and mouthing things to me. Oof. You know? Must drive him crazy.
Starting point is 00:15:42 Yeah. His spirits were good, but he was completely Paralyzed and couldn't even form words, but he could hear me and he could you know, I You know, I might say I you know when I would try to he'd point at words You know and I'd go you're talking about Tom and he'd go You know, oh Terry. Yeah, okay. Okay okay, you know, like shake stuff up with a laser on his head. So I went visit him and it's been maybe two months and I kept... The fall could have been four months ago. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:16:26 And I'd been keeping in touch with his wife, Sue, and back and forth, some progress. But I hadn't visited him in a couple months. And I was out looking for homes because I can't go back to the Malibu home. And I looked at a home yesterday that was up a hill, and it was familiar to me, the area, even though I didn't live there before or anything, but it was like familiar. And then I said, you know what? I think Dennis Prager lives up this hill, is my announcement. And then I said, where is Dennis' house? And I'd gone up, looked at the house, and then you go down, out, you go left, you go down the hill. I swear he's up here somewhere. And then I looked at the house again, and I came out, I turned left again to go down the hill. I'm almost sure Prager's house is up here somewhere. And the next time I left the house,
Starting point is 00:17:34 I thought, I'm not gonna turn left and go down the hill, because I think Prager's house is around here. I'm gonna turn right and see if it's further up the hill. And I turned right, and it's the next door. It's the next house. I just didn't see it because it's further up the hill. And I turn right and it's the next door. It's the next house. I just didn't see it because it's set back and I kept turning left. And I was like, Prager would be... I'd be next door neighbors with Prager, the guy I love. And then I thought to myself, but will he be my neighbor? The last time I saw him, he's in a facility. And I don't know if he's coming back kind of thing. So I had this happy thought, oh, Dennis Prager's my neighbor. Then my sad thought, which is, yeah, is he my neighbor if
Starting point is 00:18:20 he's not in his home? You know what I mean? That's just where he used to live. And then I started thinking, like I felt guilty, I was like, I gotta go visit Dennis. I've been busy as shit over the last couple of months, but that's still no excuse. Like, I gotta check in with Sue, I gotta visit, I gotta see. So he's weighing on my mind, because A, I'm thinking about being his neighbor, then I'm thinking about him never coming home, then I'm thinking about feeling bad for not visiting him again, and then I go to bed and I wake up this morning to an email I got at 1230 last night from a producer of No Safe Spaces, which a movie Dennis and I did together, said, I visited Dennis today. He wants to do No Safe Spaces, part two. He's returning on go plan on going back on the air April 1. Whoa. And should be going home next week. Whoa. And I'm like, okay, good.
Starting point is 00:19:20 Last time I saw him he's paralyzed and there was not much recovery talk other than he was going to get his voice back. He could still be paralyzed. He could still be paralyzed. Well, obviously he's returning to the air, he can speak. But I just thought it was weird that I was staring at his house with this sense of, wow, I could be Dennis Prager's neighbor and then, oh man, I haven't talked to him. And I hadn't talked to anybody in his camp, so to speak, Sue. I hadn't heard anything in a couple months, but I was feeling guilty for not reaching out and getting updated. And people asked me, I thought, how's Prager doing?
Starting point is 00:20:02 not reaching out and getting updated. And people ask me, how's Prager doing? I'd go get him. Go with him to the cafe now. Not walk with him. But I was like, just really, really thinking on it yesterday. Great magnet. At like five in the afternoon and at 12, 30,
Starting point is 00:20:19 I get this thing of this whole update of him. Isn't that weird? Complete with a going home. Yeah. And I was just thinking, he's not living there. You know, it's like a real focus on Prager. I know it's a coincidence, but it is weird, right? Yes.
Starting point is 00:20:35 And also, the guy who reached out to me was not a guy I'd talked to about Prager since the accident. I was communicating with Sue, his wife, which is to say if Sue had given me an update, it would have been a pretty good coincidence anyway. If anyone, just the idea that six hours later I got an update on Prager. So I was glad to hear it. Hey, I wanna be in safe spaces too to talk about the exposure therapies that are necessary to create mental health and that how you expose people to things,
Starting point is 00:21:06 not restrict access to things that you're troubled by. Oh, God. I've been, weirdly, because of my horrible parents, I think I've been on this one for a while. Like, I remember going to my friend Donnie's house when he had, his kid was two or one and a half or something. And I was just sitting in his house and I was kind of hungry and he didn't really have much to eat. And I said, well, I'll just
Starting point is 00:21:33 take a scoop of peanut butter, that'll hold me over. And he said, oh, that's removed from the house. And I said, why is it removed from the house? Because, well, the kid might have some peanut something. I don't know what they had, peanut something. I said, Donnie, your kid's in a crib. Just put it on the, put it in the cabinet on the shelf, on the upper shelf. He goes, yeah, I know, I don't wanna,
Starting point is 00:21:59 it's the wife, you know, I don't wanna take any chances. She just said, get it out. I said, okay, hold on, with the kids in a fucking crib. You can't handle, you can't keep peanut butter up on a shelf. Hey, she just wanted out. I didn't want to hassle. I don't like, oh, fuck. Oh, this is 20 years ago.
Starting point is 00:22:19 It's 20 years ago. I was like, holy shit, this is bad. And I've been saying, stop it the whole time, get out in the dirt, do what the Amish do. They don't have any problems. They don't have any diseases or any autism or any whatever spectrum. They don't have anything. No one listens to them. No, no, no. They never listen.

I thought of you when I saw you carrying on. I did. I don't know. Listen, I mean mean let's be, let's be transparent here. Okay. I have issues with women, but not all women. Okay.
Starting point is 00:25:14 But I will say there are women who remind me of women, who I have a negative reaction to. It's all your mom, your grandma. I know, it is, it is. But Daphne, you don't remind me of anyone, so you're in the clear. You're cool, you're good. Great, I love that name. You're not his sister, you're not his mom, you're not his grandma.
Starting point is 00:25:33 Unless you start talking about something that reminds me of them, and then we got an issue. Oh my gosh. You know, it's funny, with Daphne's red hair and fair skin, she is a slight resemblance to my mom before she went Ignotowsky. Do you know who Ignotowsky is? No. There was a very popular TV show called Taxi, and Christopher Lloyd, Doc Brown from Back to the Future, played Ignatkowski. And one of my favorite Ignatkowski episodes
Starting point is 00:26:09 is where he sits down at a party and is all of a sudden playing Chopin. He goes, I almost had some lessons. If you could find that clip, I'd be forever grateful. Well, it's the first time Ignatkowski smoked pot. Is it that, is that what happened at that party also? I don't remember. I just remember joke Here's what you remember that you're not remembering
Starting point is 00:26:28 I just by the way, I appreciate when people put pictures up on the screen, but we know who he looks like You can go find the fucking clip. I know what the guy looks like. No drew what you're not remembering I'm not but also remembering. Yes, you're having two thoughts. Well one is not clear then yeah But it's there because it's kind of propelling you a little bit. It's why you reacted. No, let me tell you what's happening I'm having a remember. What's what was god damn it? Let me tell you what you're remembering No, I know but hang on but the the what's the woman in the series? Yeah, sure. Is it I want to say Elaine I'm gonna lane. Yeah. Yeah, is it Elaine or are we confusing it with Seinfeld? No, it's Elaine. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:05 I think it is Elaine, yeah. Okay. She... She was called Nardo all the time, but so you kind of forgot her first name. Her reaction is what I'm remembering. And him being bewildered by the fact that he could play Chopin.
Starting point is 00:27:18 That's what I'm remembering. Okay, but when I said before my mom went Ignatowski. Yes, yes. You're remembering a scene, you're thinking of a scene where they show, they flashed back to what happened to Ignatowski. Yes.
Starting point is 00:27:36 Oh! And he was wearing a cardigan sweater and saying like, indubitably! I don't know. And he was like normal. Is that right? And then he was like at a party and somebody handed him a joint
Starting point is 00:27:48 and he took a hit off the joint and then you saw his face go, oh. And you're like, oh. It was kind of brilliant cause he didn't say anything. You just saw him go from this A student to hitting off a joint and it's like, oh. And now he's Ignat key from that from that point on
Starting point is 00:28:08 All right, we have him playing Chopin. I will play that but yeah, there's there's a one where he went There's a there's a clip of when he became ignorant house key, but go ahead. We'll play this one, sir So she's embarrassed cuz're sitting down at the piano. Here it goes. Elaine's embarrassed. Oh my God. Important party. All these well-dressed people. Oh I must have had music lessons.
Starting point is 00:29:14 That's what I meant. I can't feel the lead's reaction. Yeah. All right. Play Chopin? Yeah. Yeah, well, there's a clip where, I don't know, I would say it's Ignatowski in the Yes. Yes. All right. Let's play Chopin. Yeah. Yeah, well there's a clip where, I don't know,
Starting point is 00:29:28 I would say it's Ignatowski in college turning into Ignatowski, that's it. But the point is, is my mom turned into Ignatowski. But my mom, when she was trying to keep together, you know. Except she wouldn't do the braids and the hair wasn't quite that red, was it? She would do the beehive kind of thing No, I remember some pictures of her like my mom. Well, maybe yes
Starting point is 00:29:52 She her hair was red her skin was fair and she kept it together, but we're trying 1969 here you referred to it as Sort of for a Warner Brothers cartoon where she's all be hived up all of a sudden one hair goes Well, that's her Ignatowski moment Alright, that's a good joke. So anyway Randy a wine garden. Yeah Randy wine garden is a shrew of a horrible person.
Starting point is 00:30:26 And I can't. Otherwise she's great. But I don't know how much of this is just me reminding me of one of my mom's friends as a kid and sort of having a visceral reaction. Well here's what's interesting, not your mom. Because your mom doesn't have that kind of energy. And not really your grandma,
Starting point is 00:30:41 because she would be even more sort of dismissive. One of the friends I bet was like this even more sort of dismissive one of the friends I bet was like this I just described as one of my mom's friends growing up which is kind of dumb but heavily motivated. Yeah, but also This couch was fighting to keep schools closed for as long as humanly possible and and successful I'm imagining Jane Fonda's a huge fan of her and she has to love her because she's a loud woman But here's what I'm saying Why is the purse why are we believing the person who fought?
Starting point is 00:31:14 Three years ago to keep schools closed as long as possible for why do we said for no reason? Why do we believe that she's a huge? proponent of Kids a champion of children. Why why do what what makes me think she likes children so much? believe that she's a huge proponent of kids, a champion of children. Why, what makes me think she likes children so much or she's just a hack, stooge politician who's in the pocket of the union?
Starting point is 00:31:36 She is the union. She is the union is what I'm saying, yes. She's the union and she's why I don't like unions. Because- She's got all the politicians in her pocket, right? She dictates to Gavin Newsom or whomever when they can reopen the schools. As a matter of fact, the head of the CDC, Rochelle Walensky, announced schools should reopen and then she got hold of Rochelle Walensky and told that bitch to walk it back and she did. And meanwhile the kids never went back to school. So I
Starting point is 00:32:06 color me dubious when she talks about loving the kids. Now what she loves is a monopoly. What she hates is competition. And what Trump wants to create is competition because they're failing at their job. They're doing two things. They're spending tons of money and they're not getting results. So somebody says, let's try something else. Yeah. Okay. Here it is. It's why so many people are so mad about it because they're just taking opportunity away from kids that don't have it. So billionaires, kids of billionaires, they have it. They go to private schools. Everyone else, 90% go to public schools. Don't take away their opportunity So let's stay on the fact sorry
Starting point is 00:32:52 About this because I'm really angry. I taught kids in Clara Barton High School in Brooklyn, New York Okay, there's nothing chick thing Which is like just because you're pissed off and yelling doesn't mean shit in terms of you being right. So shut the fuck up. Women are like, I'm just gonna get angry and then I'll just get my way. Or I'll be right. It doesn't change any facts that you're upset
Starting point is 00:33:16 or banging your fist or telling us that you had to do, you know, in 1971, I held a retarded kid in my hands and watched him die That doesn't mean shit to this argument, right? It doesn't mean anything. I know it motion is well, I know it works I know it's effective. It maybe gets your fucking husband or your husband or your partner has been He gets your husband your husband your husband partner gets him to leave the room like I guess we go. Sorry fine We'll eat Mexican. I'm leaving your husband, your husband partner gets them to leave the room. Like, I guess we'll go, sorry, fine. We'll eat Mexican, I'm leaving. Your husband. Your lesbian partner is a husband.
Starting point is 00:33:52 It might work on your husband, but it's not, it doesn't work on Trump or policy. You just seem unhinged. Yeah, yeah. Which is now the new democratic thing, which is like, we'll just act freaked out pissed off. And to be fair, you know, look, she's wanting the force of law. It's going to require the force of law, I'm understanding now, to shut the department
Starting point is 00:34:13 of education down. Yes, your results are shit and you're spending this off the hook. So with that in mind. Yeah, let's try something else. We'd like to try something else. We're not doing this based on having great results and you being thrifty. We're having it on billions being wasted.
Starting point is 00:34:29 By the way, do you notice Drew, you notice the subtle transition in the last literally six months of our society. Notice we went from millionaires and their kids and private, we shifted to billionaires. Yes, yes. Now, millionaires are perfectly capable of sending their kids to private schools.
Starting point is 00:34:59 Yes. As a matter of fact, Drew, in terms of private school, enrollment, more millionaires or billionaires? Millionaires. A hundredfold? At least. Because there's only 26 billionaires on the planet
Starting point is 00:35:16 and they're half, okay, everyone who got their house burnt down in Malibu and the Palisades is a millionaire. Correct. And many sent their kids to private schools. I mean, I know there's plenty of people who the wife makes $186,000 a year and the dad's a dentist and makes $231,000 a year and they send their kids to a private school. So they're not billionaires. They may not even be millionaires. But why the shift in the last 10 minutes from millionaire to billionaire? May I suggest? Yes.
Starting point is 00:35:50 Let's see if I get it right. A, they hate Musk, so he's at the bulls eye on his target. The other thing is they're millionaires. They are effing millionaires. Elizabeth Warren is a millionaire. You wanna lump her in, and the Obamas send their kid to private school So let's get so now we'll just go to billionaire. Yes
Starting point is 00:36:10 But now you sound like a fucking lunatic because only billionaires Please tweet something about that that I can retweet because you haven't put that out. Okay, good point. I'm writing it down All right, go to help make help me maintain my millionaire status I go to help make help me maintain my millionaire status By buying some tickets Phoenix Desert Ridge I'll be Friday Saturday and Sunday and then it's off to Tacoma at the end of the month March 30th But in the meantime in San Diego, it's Sunday in Phoenix, right?
