Got to get it on. Whoa. What was that? That's subdued for the music.
Starting point is 00:00:34 No, but it was more than that. No choice. I'm sort of a... But to get it on, it's melodic. No, but it was more than that. It was sort of sensitive and emotional. Get it on. I'm a new man in 2013. see you dr. Drew good to see

Drew board certified physician addiction medicine specialist in a while since I've said that true I love that what's on your mind now we got your phone calls and again if you want to support us you can click through the Amazon link at the Adam and Drew page at Adam Kroll calm and you know when you get some from Amazon just show us some love.

Starting point is 00:01:17 out those podcasts Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. It's liberating. It's nice. Pods. Yeah. The long form is nice. you know you and i were lucky i mean if you listen to people that i enjoy on the the radio for instance i like dennis prager my good friend dennis prager on the radio uh... it's great but you get four minutes and then you get three minutes and sometimes you get ninety seconds there are times because you and I sort of know the radio clock, as they call it. And you know, especially on the AM stations, they have to break at the top of the hour.
Starting point is 00:01:56 And I mean, they don't break at, you know, nine. You know, if it's nine a.m., it's not nine a.m. and 32 seconds where they take the break. It's 9 a.m. It's not 9 a.m. And 32 seconds where they take the break It's 9 a.m. Dead nuts on music starts playing I don't know if you're like me, but I always get uncomfortable because the person calls up and there do you have Do you have any music you could play like I don't know it's a sort of Outro music quite the Academy Award wrap up the speech thing But it's that thing where I'm looking at the clock
Starting point is 00:02:26 and my digital clock says 900. And the person calls and they call in at 859 and the guy, Prager or whoever will be like, Darrell, we just have a couple seconds here. And you hear the guy go, I was a veteran of the Korean conflict. I know what it's like to spill blood and foreign mud and then you hear him go, just a couple of seconds, and you hear
Starting point is 00:02:51 the music start pawning up. Now my son, who's also veteran, God rest his soul, and you hear the music and you're just, I stand there by the radio yelling like, go! Go! Or like... Well, we do that when we're hosting stuff too. The callers don't know what you mean when you say 30 seconds. They don't have a clock in their head like that. Yeah, but I'll say 30 seconds and go, fuck it, here's another 10 minutes. What I mean is, they are going out. They're going out, yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:19 They're going out at 9 a.m. or 8 a.m. or the bottom of the hour or the middle of the hour wherever it is they're going out. Listen I do that deal without television I have a satellite feed and it stops at a certain time. Right so I will I will listen to folks on the radio especially on the a.m. side and they will come back from a commercial a you know five minute commercial break they'll come back from a commercial at 8.58, which means to me there's no long, by the way that's 8.58 in I don't know how many seconds, meaning there's gonna be 85 seconds worth of content here
Starting point is 00:03:59 and then they're going to the top of the hour, news traffic, traffic, traffic, traffic, traffic, traffic, weather, news, news, weather, traffic, traffic weather news news weather traffic and weather by the way and the time every single car built today yeah I will say almost without exception Eve I would say you know a Ford Fiesta $13,000 car has a clock in it and a outside temperature in it. Radio and everybody who has a phone has the traffic in it. Still clinging to that vestige of yore of the traffic, the time and the weather. The three things that are built into every single car or it's academic because you're at home and you have a clock and
Starting point is 00:04:45 it has the time on it and you know the weather look out the fucking window but it's it's on your phone if you don't know what the rest of the day is it's right there but I'm saying so I like the long form format of this and I think you do well here's where it came clear for me I've got an upcoming pod with Simone BN she's a British. She's on your show. Yeah. She was.
Starting point is 00:05:08 She's not there no longer. Oh. Yeah, just me and Mike now. What happened to her? They... Radio, you know? And so I brought her in here. She was good.
Starting point is 00:05:16 She is good. And I brought her in here because she's good. And here's the thing. She and I are called upon at least once a week to comment on cheating, right? Cheating. What's cheating? Why do people cheat? What's going on with cheating, right? Cheating, do it. What's cheating? Why do people cheat? What's going on with cheating?
Starting point is 00:05:26 Tell us in 12 seconds. Yeah, right. Okay, so you have these little snippets you can put out about cheating, or you get a call on cheating, and you can do 30 seconds on it. We said, we sat there. Oh, please.
Starting point is 00:05:39 Yeah. Listen, sorry guys. Well, you can say it, but we sat down, and we're gonna do cheating now. Took us 40 minutes. 40 minutes to flush say it, but we sat down and said, we're going to do cheating now. Took us 40 minutes. 40 minutes to flush it out. And we just did it. We went all the way through it.
Starting point is 00:05:50 40 fucking minutes. And you can't do that anywhere except on a podcast. Listen, it drives, look, the first, one of the first times I did your show, not as it is now, but HLN show, I don't know, maybe it was CNN show, I don't remember what it was. I don't know what anything is anymore. But the point is, the first time we did it, they bullshit you, you know, they go,
Starting point is 00:06:16 hey, Drew would like you to come on as a guest on his program, and you go, oh good, a little reunion show with me and Drew, maybe taking phone calls or something. Is this Life Changers maybe? I don't know what the fuck it is, but you're sitting there and now you're sitting there in a panel between three people,
Starting point is 00:06:33 and not only sitting in a panel between three people, but from Hounslow, England, we have on satellite an expert, a woman who wrote a book, The Forgotten Woman, she was cheated upon for for 13 years what it's like to raise a family Knowing you're being cheated on me. She's in Hounslow. We're gonna go to her. We're gonna go to me We're gonna go the person next to me the person on the fucking satellite has a three-second delay Everyone is running into each other It's like you blindfolded a bunch of fucking people got him drunk spun him spun them around, took them to the studio and had them fucking run into each
Starting point is 00:07:06 other and yelled at everyone, make a point. By the way, your job becomes nothing but traffic copping. Me. Yes. That's your job. Hold on. Hold that thought. Hold that thought. Hold that thought. Hold that. When we come back, we're going to go back to Hounsell, England. We're going to talk to Cheryl Jackson. She was cheated on many times. After back, we're going to go back to Hounsell, England. We're going to talk to Cheryl Jackson. She was cheated on many times. After that, we have the author of the best-selling book, The Unforgotten Woman. She's going to debate Cheryl.
Starting point is 00:07:33 She's also in Norway. She's on satellite as well. We have our esteemed guest in the council here. We have Dr. Fred over here. That's Skype. We've got someone is Skyping in all that after this. And then they come back and they go, all right, let's reset. Here's the three people we have in studio.
Starting point is 00:07:53 We have this guy coming from Australia. We have this chick going. And then coming in on Skype. All right, we need a break. But when we come back, it's like all you've done is spend your entire fucking time setting up people who you've never got to anything and here's the point It's not your fucking fault. It's a fucking retarded TV producers who don't trust you. They don't trust you I don't care what the fuck they say. It's like your stepdad going I trust you. I trust you implicit
Starting point is 00:08:22 I have nothing and then you see the following you around with a fucking GPS device shoved up your ass and Standing outside your car to drive in when you're on your first date like what do you mean? You trust me if you trusted me to be compelling to be a host to do my job You wouldn't fucking laden me with 18 people and by the way 18 people is no people It's the same thing. It's like five people on a date isn't better than one person on a date. You can't look them all in the eye at the same time,
Starting point is 00:08:51 you can't have a fucking conversation. But TV does nothing but apologize for its host by saying, look, this person's uninteresting, so let's bombard them with information. All you get is nine people going, excuse me, excuse me, excuse me, and you go, hold that thought, hold that thought, hold that thought. We're gonna go to break. We gotta take a break again. When we come back. No, no, no, I got 30 seconds. Yeah. Winnie from Wisconsin. What do you want to say? Excuse me. I want to say excuse me.
Starting point is 00:09:21 I want to talk about all the people out there who don't have the power to say, excuse me. I want to say excuse me! I want to talk about all the people out there who don't have the power to say excuse me! Okay That's it. That's it. And then you just realize we've just successfully killed an hour. I have no idea what happened. I've gathered no thoughts. I've gathered no thoughts. Then What happens is you quickly train the animals in this circus. Which are that, the ones on television or the one watching television? On television. They have to speak out in little 20-second nugget bites that have nothing to do with
Starting point is 00:09:54 thought or unearthing any truths, just little quips, and then you get Ariana Huffington, basically. But Adam, the other side of that though is, so I'll bring on peers, physicians who are good and know what they're talking about. Not Piers Morgan, but peers. Peers. Like people who are other physicians. And here's what I get is, excuse me, I'm not finished.
Starting point is 00:10:17 In 1922, when this research was first, okay, now you're toast. You're toast. Yeah. So it goes all one way or all the other. Right. As soon as somebody says, I'm not finished, and launches into a comment that actually is substantial, I'm uninterested and people are changing the channel. So it's a real weird catch-22.
Starting point is 00:10:35 I know, but it's your job to say, Doc, speed it up. This isn't a lecture. Excuse me, but I'm not done, so hold on. Hang on a second. I know. Because they don't have an internal clock going. That's the real difficult part. No right
Starting point is 00:10:49 Believe now I've dealt with those people but I'm still saying The TV producers over produce shit within an inch of its life and you can have no real discussion I understand when you're doing comedy, which is a sort of set them up, knock them down, set them up, knock them down Rhythm, but in a show where you're trying to glean some information I'm not gleaning anything from everyone yelling at each other We successfully just killed ten minutes talking about people Killing time on this show and disseminated zero information Nicely done, but you've cheered up my mood and disseminated zero information. In 10 minutes. In 10 minutes, over 10 minutes.
Starting point is 00:11:25 Well done. Nicely done. But you've cheered up my mood. I'm in a little bit of a snit here. Our dog, we have a puppy, right? Yes. Rex the Honey Badger. He has his own Twitter, if you'd like to follow him,
Starting point is 00:11:35 Rex Honey Badger. All right. Honey Badger because he don't give a shit. He's just this machine, he's like a tank. He just rolls through life. And he's now about, he's big, he's about 40 pounds now. And- What kind of dog is he?
Starting point is 00:11:49 The Australian Shepherd. Taken upon himself to like, eat everything. Yes. Everything. I don't, well, also, eating half of things is eating everything. I mean, obviously, if you have a pair of slippers and he eats one of them then he's eaten both of them. You know what there should be?
Starting point is 00:12:10 Write this down! More genius. These guys run for pens! I know. Adam, these guys, what has he done to you? No, no, they're popsicle sticks. I can't hear you, Mike. They don't, but first off, they're grabbing popsicle sticks to make it look low-riding. I can't hear you Mike. First off, they're grabbing popsicle sticks and they're flow riding. I understand, but the point is that the behavior. Oh, there's Rex. That's Rex a couple months ago. They write on cellophane with a popsicle stick, but I see their arm moving and it makes a sort of sound. Is that him right now? Is that looks like at the vet's office? Is that this morning? Yeah, that was tweeted this morning. Okay, so he's sick. Yeah, he doesn't look like he look like he so here's the deal. Alright hold on. Go ahead. When I yell
Starting point is 00:12:47 write this down I don't want to hear anymore about Rex. Alright what about this group? We get it going you know we start this it's like one of those internet things you know we get the thing going. It is people with horrible dogs who want to get together with one shoe and or half a whatever. Because I may have gotten my right moccasin chewed off, but you have a right moccasin but you don't have a left moccasin or so on and so forth. You know what I mean? So we could then wear the shoes or we can give the other one to our dog? I think we can complete our set. Or sofa pillows that got chewed on but you have the same pattern on your sofa. Maybe you shouldn't write this
Starting point is 00:13:34 down. No, no, this is how the internet should be used. Clearly. Sort of an eBay for... People with one mind. Well, what I'm saying is the dog chews up one penny loafer and you have to throw away the other one. That doesn't make sense to me. But there's enough of that going on that there's got to be somebody with a size 12. Everybody with a fucking dog. 2011 penny loafer. Yeah, it could be.
Starting point is 00:13:53 That's it up. Yeah. All right. So what's so many badger do? So eats everything. The other day he vomited up some metal on a computer. It chewed off the end of a computer. Oh my God. Yeah. some metal on a computer. It chewed off the end of a computer. Trevor Burrus So this morning, vomiting, diarrhea, weird, not right, because we had lost a dog
Starting point is 00:14:10 recently with pancreatitis. She was older. So we were like gunshot. Rushed him in. Bowel obstruction, rocks. Two rocks, giant, huge, huge, like dug out of the decomposing granite and took him down and now his bowel is completely obstructed. He has to have surgery right now. I gotta say this.
Starting point is 00:14:30 I am bummed. When your dog is eating the earth it lives upon, there's really nothing you can do. I know. Because you can put shoes up on an upper shelf and take a TV remote and set it on top of the TV. But when it's eating terra firma, nothing. You can't do it.
Starting point is 00:14:48 How can you? Honey badger. It's like being allergic to air. You can't stop that. So I literally have the conversation with the vet this morning. Oh my God. She's like, you have to get all the rocks out there. I'm like, we don't have rocks.
Starting point is 00:15:01 This dog is digging them out of the decomposing granite and oh, she'll have to wear an air muzzle. We're going to get a trainer. Quick. Quick. We're going to work on obedience. My dogs, cataracts, missing ear, has to get special. You have a special needs dog?
Starting point is 00:15:21 Special food. Molly? Special food with a syringe. Oh, Molly. Yes has to get a shot every every time and I had this conversation and it's a You you tell me tell me what you think no drew you tell me what you think yeah Yeah, it's insane as it first off. I said this Announced this to the football crowd the other week when I brought Molly with me. I said, there's no doubt I've spent more on this dog
Starting point is 00:15:49 than my family spent on me my entire life. I include food on this easily. Easily. All right. You tell me, and in general, because I don't think there's enough of this in life, Because I don't think there's enough of this in life this This part of life. Okay, you just tell me I'm I dig okay, just dig dig this I was she She eats a special food and a canned food Mm-hmm a canned food that we have to buy by the case that costs god knows what we have a discussion about evolution here So I know it is the case that costs God knows what. We can have a discussion about evolution here or survival shit as to where we're going. We could branch off into that direction.
Starting point is 00:16:31 But the food, which I was unloading from the back of my wife's car when she bought 11 cases of it and I was carrying them four at a time as much as I could handle and then piling them up on my front stairs, which reached about five feet and then schlepping each one in case by case. You're a caring dad. And then this thing of, I don't know why... God, I know your parents would have done that for you. They didn't own a dog because they wouldn't do it for a dog, but the point is, what is the deal with half the cans have the fucking pull top on them now and half of them are
Starting point is 00:17:04 still get out the can opener? You know, like if you buy a can of, I don't know, soup, half of them, like Progresso soup, this does the flip and the pull and everyone goes, good, I don't have to get the can opener out and then the rest are like, get the can opener out. That's an interesting question. The guys who are like hunkered down on Normandy on the beach we're getting the fucking can opener out. It's been 70 years. Somebody invented the pop top with the peel off aluminum thing and I don't think we had
Starting point is 00:17:34 any complaints, did we? I wonder if it's a car like aluminum versus tin or something. Maybe it's something that goes through phases or it's cost effective. I bet it's four cents a unit. But for the, whenever I do that thing where I reach up into the pantry and I grab a can and I look at it and it's soup, it's ministering, it's got the pop top on it, I go, oh good! Sometimes there's a difference between having soup and doing the... All right. The dog needs, I'm guessing, super expensive special canned food.
Starting point is 00:18:04 The can, of course she needs super expensive special canned food. Of course she needs a can and a half. And the can and a half means you have to open the... Then you have to scoop the gelatinous, fatty, weird shit, weird queefy sound is the thing that's being pushed out of... It's just gelatinous meat, you know, just coming out of it's it's just gelatinous meat you know just you know queefies coming out of the can you know and then you have to open the other can and scoop out half of it yep and throw away no cuz your wife won't give her
Starting point is 00:18:42 the old no she will no no following morning. She's eating She'll eat that half a can. That's good, but then that half a can goes into the refrigerator and If you're in my family you get a paper towel wadded up and shoved into the top of it In which case there's just weird horse meat smell in my refrigerator in which case I make the announcement They do make those little plastic pop caps I make the announcement, they do make those little plastic pop caps, do they not? They do. They do. I imagine they're fairly inexpensive, 60, 70 dollars on the internet for maybe a
Starting point is 00:19:15 three pack? Yeah, at least. Or they essentially free on the internet. I make the announcement, why not if this is something we're going to be going through on a daily, by daily basis, seven days a week, when we don't take Christmas off from feeding the dog, why don't we invest between nine and 13 cents in one of these caps that snaps onto the top of the thing instead of the progression of the paper towel with the rubber band around it. For me personally it's not only food drying out, smell of the food getting involved, but it's just more of a visual reminder of how things are working in your brain. You know what I mean? When you open that refrigerator it's the equivalent to I have a coat hanger for a car antenna Yeah, I'm announcing to the world but most importantly myself Just what's going on up in the old noggin. Do you know what I mean? Yeah, so but it's it's but let's let's be fair
Starting point is 00:20:17 I mean if it weren't the smell you probably wouldn't even be thinking about this instead of fills the refrigerator with the crazy dog food smell wouldn't even be thinking about this. Instead, it fills the refrigerator with the crazy dog food smell. Right, you really wouldn't. There's an element, there's just an element of that open can of horse meat next to the salsa. Right, if she put foil on top and it blocked the smell, you might not have been as, right?
Starting point is 00:20:37 I'm, here's how I think. I work this way. I reverse engineer everything. Is there a device that is made specifically for snapping on these cans? Yes. How much is said device? Half a cent. Okay.
Starting point is 00:20:55 Are they, do we have to leave the country to get these or can we do it with one click of the mouse? Probably through amazon.com. Could we get a five pack for under a dollar? Probably a one click. Yeah. Well then we should go ahead and do that.com. Could we get a five pack for under a dollar? Probably a one click. Yeah Well, then we should go ahead and do that. Okay, and and but and Adam we should do it. Why are you such an asshole? Why are you on my case so much? Why do you bug me about this shit all the time? We're such yours. You're a mr. Cassatt. Mr. Big casino
Starting point is 00:21:19 You've got all the answers. I'm busy. We should do it. You should go do it. All right, we should do it now This unfamiliar right? Yes rather than do the paper towel rubber band thing for the next year or so. Let's do it now so At some point I show up a couple weeks later open the fridge to my shock Surprise delight. So I see a white lid... Yeah, yeah. I know what you do. ... snapped onto the top of the can.
Starting point is 00:21:49 Oh, really? Now, first I'm curious. Did somebody listen to me? Did somebody go on the internet? No. No way. I have to investigate. Where did this white lid come from? I'm confused.
Starting point is 00:22:04 Yeah, why would somebody listen to you? It came with the case that we bought the thing with. Snap focus. Okay. Now I understand why it's there. But the comedy is those have been there all along, I suppose. I don't know, but here it is and it was given. It came.
Starting point is 00:22:23 Manna from heaven. And I now realize why we have a lid. Then, two weeks later, no more lid. Lid gone. So, we make a nice month run of no lids and I say, where's, what happened to my beautiful, beautiful lid that went on the top of this can? Answer, maid must have chucked it thinking it was just disposable, like you know, came off the top of a yogurt container or something like that. Okay? I guess that's the end of our relationship with these lids then. There's now nothing we can do. Because I know through shopping experience if you hop on Amazon and you try to buy a lid
Starting point is 00:23:10 to a dog can the guy will ask you, wait a minute, did you have one before? Where is it? And I will fold. May throw it away. Well, sorry. We only have enough for each individual and if you're gonna throw yours away you can whittle one out of wood if you know a guy you know Jay Leno he's got a CNC machine and have him make you fabricate a lid but will not sell you another second lid like you can't have two driver's licenses you gotta hand it in so we go a few weeks where I announce we should just go ahead and get a not only a lid let's go ahead and get a not only a lid Let's go ahead and get a chub pack of lids. Let's get three or four considering. They're about free and
Starting point is 00:23:53 Not too much movement the lid department and then I call Matt the porcelain punisher fondler I say Matt go on to Amazon and get me like two five packs of lids multicolored and Then um Two days later. I get a pack big chub pack of them. I drop them off at home and to my delight As I'm walking into the kitchen the other night. I see Olga the nanny with a sharpie riding on the lid with a sharpie writing on the lid, Molly, do not throw, you know, to write things on everything in my house. The maid will throw them away. No, no, no. The lid. The lid writing on the lid, Drew. Listen, focus. Do not throw, you know, Molly's lid. Do not chuck semi-retarded person we pay to come into our house and destroy our lives with a vacuum cleaner So now we've solved the problem it took
Starting point is 00:24:52 Quite some time and it took me getting way more involved than I would have liked Is there something to be learned? We've solved the problem There's there's two there's two sides of the learning coin. One is people could just do what I tell them. Well first off, there's three. You know, dude, how old are you? There are three coins.
Starting point is 00:25:13 There are three coins. There are three sides to this coin. The only people that do what you tell them, these robots in here, you've got some mind control thing going on. You've got some mind control. One is, one is, people could turn on their mind to just do it themselves, like no coaxing for me, meaning somewhere around the fifth time I'm balling up the paper towel and shoving it into the top of the can. Not gonna happen.
Starting point is 00:25:38 Could happen. Could happen, yes. Has happened with me. I have gone through this transformation. It's happenable. It can happen. You can, one can't- Humans are capable of said behavior.
Starting point is 00:25:50 Okay, all right. One can't train oneself to think in such a manner. Two, one can just immediately do it when a person who's gone through that transformation points it out to them. Yeah. That's another one. Not gonna happen. Or three, I can just
Starting point is 00:26:06 immediately see the paper towel and go to the internet and order the lids. So you could do it. So you could do it. I do. I think there's a fourth in there somewhere because we're not learning, we're just observing by your sort of criteria. Well I can do it. Yeah, you can do it. Right. The problem with me doing it is there's a long list of these things and I'm trying to write a book. You know what I'm saying? I shouldn't concern myself. But I think it is something about the multi-step process. Like it's not just getting a lid. It's like you've got to go to the internet.
Starting point is 00:26:45 You've got to, there's something about the stepping through that I think people have issue with. So what you've got to do is since you have robots that work for you, you've got to get the people you're telling to change their behavior into a one-step process. That's why I like Amazon, because of that one click thing. So they can text. She could text Chris. She does do that. That's going I like Amazon because of that one click thing. So they can text. She could text Chris. She does do that.
Starting point is 00:27:07 That's going on now. Well, and that's helping I bet. It started with tell Matt to go do that. I eliminate it. Text him now. Text him now. Okay. Text him now.
Starting point is 00:27:18 Do a text now. Because if you don't do now, people as you know, yeah, people don't prioritize things that aren't important to them, which has been your thing forever. But now, here's the bigger one. Here's the bigger one. Uh-oh. Now tell me what you think of this.
Starting point is 00:27:32 Dig. Dig. And then we go to the phones. But dig. I stand back and I see the ritual with the can opening and the extra can in the fridge and the scooping out of the gelatinous nest and I say to myself This is gonna be tough to do twice a day every day Christmas and holidays for the next whatever Molly's got on the planet couple of two three years, whatever
Starting point is 00:27:58 I don't think and furthermore. I don't think this is a good use of our time Yeah, I see it every night. It's like there there's the poor ol' guy undoing the can. And zero room in the fridge with the kids now. And this is one more wasted space in the fridge. So I announce, now dig. I announce to Lynette one night after carrying in my fifth case of this stuff, let's get Molly onto some sort of dry food. Let's get her onto some kind of kibble where we can just take a scoop where the sack of
Starting point is 00:28:34 kibble can just sit in the closet and we can take a sack, we'll take a nice scoop, put a little hot water in and she will get on the kibble. No more carrying the heavy cases, no more can opener, no more fridge, no more gelatinous mess. And she says, this is a special kind of food because Molly's diabetic. And I said, I understand that. Let's see if we can find that special food in a kibble dry form. And she says, but this is special. And I say, I understood, but there may be a dry version
Starting point is 00:29:15 that Molly can consume. I don't dig your point yet. Okay, hold on. And she says, okay, we can look into it, but Molly's not going to like it. She's not going to. What I'm saying is, when I say we have a problem, it doesn't matter, micro, macro, world.
Starting point is 00:29:37 Again, we do it in the world. We go, look, we are tired of importing this oil from foreign shores and paying these murders and these thieves and these oppressors and lining their pockets with gold. I say we need an alternative energy source. And you say, well, let's go down to ANWR in Alaska and drill there. That's on our soil. that has a lot of uh uh no no no no no no okay let's do let's get natural gas we're sitting on huge reserves of natural gas we need to do no no no that's not going to work okay well now where are we at you want to bring in more foreign oil no no no well we i tell you but everyone i'm telling you how to correct this and you're saying it's never going to work so if if it's never going to work, it's that sort of thing of like, we need to beef up the illegal immigration, destroying this country.
Starting point is 00:30:30 All right, let's beef up the board. Never going to work. All right. Oh, then we need to first we need to, you need to get out of never going to work mode because we're never going to solve if you're in never going to work mode. I understand Molly is not going to like this food. And I understand that this food may be hard to find if it exists at all. We're going to have to find out. But I say it's worthwhile. I say it's worth the effort. And as far as Molly goes, it's going to take a week. It's going to take a week to convert
Starting point is 00:31:04 her. We're going gonna have to stand around. The problem is you have to give her a goddamn shot. And the problem is you gotta go to work, and Molly's staring at her food and she ain't eating, and you can't give her insulin shot until she eats. So, well, that may be not gonna happen then. That kind of makes sense. It kind of makes sense, although I know that now starts to make sense though. I know that A, this food exists. No, no, I know it's that off the list and B, we can get Molly to turn and because she's an animal and eventually she's going to need to eat. Unfortunately, we are going to be inconvenienced for that week.
Starting point is 00:31:41 It takes to turn Molly onto this food, stop agreeing with everyone else Drew and listen to me. No, I'm agreeing with you. Getting a week, oh you're agreeing with me, a week to get her to turn, it's going to be an inconvenient week as Al Gore would say, an inconvenient week. It's going to be a shitty week because we're going to be standing in the kitchen yelling at Molly to eat and she's going to be looking at us. But eventually she will eat, she's going to get her shot, and then we will be in kibble heaven from that point on.
Starting point is 00:32:14 And or we can go the next three years schlepping in the cans and open the thing. That's how I think. That's my, my wish is for others to think that way. And I'm not thinking this way in a critical way, meaning I'm not being critical of you. I'm trying to avoid this process that you basically are engaging in. Not me. I underwrite the whole thing, but I don't do a whole lot of it. Once in a while, I get caught in the process of having to open the can and do the thing and stand by the thing with the gelatinous mess twice a week, maybe, but it's not my job per se.
Starting point is 00:32:54 I'm looking to streamline this process for all. I dig. Do you dig? I dig. Now tell me the flaws in that thought process. No flaws in the thought process. But I think there's something about human psychology. Yes, there is.
Starting point is 00:33:09 There's inertia that's like the devil you know. It's like, no, I'm used to doing this. This is working. I don't really want to make that effort. And there's another piece that people don't think about. You have to initiate change. Yes. For you, initiating change is very easy.
Starting point is 00:33:24 You see a problem, you initiate change. You want to know why initiating change is very easy. You see a problem, you initiate change. You want to know why initiating change is easy for me? You've disciplined yourself. Because I've done it so many times. Aristotle thought that back in the Greek times. A habit was the way to do that. It's a muscle. But it's a brain.
Starting point is 00:33:38 It doesn't exist. The only way to get it to exist... Is by doing it. exist is by doing it. Is by doing it. But there may be, and I don't know the research on this, there may be windows of development where you could develop this thing, and later it's really hard to develop. And I would suggest that that's true.
Starting point is 00:33:54 Everything is really hard to develop later. Solid BMs are hard to develop later in life. Everything later is harder. Harder is not impossible. Though the BMS may be soft. Harder means harder and when you're working with a stool specialist like myself, then I can hold your hand while you sit upon the throne of life and massage your bowels. Such a great metaphor. You understand? So I can walk you through this process of cleansing and evacuation of one's bowels. Right, I am a walking, talking tutorial
Starting point is 00:34:35 on how to transform oneself. Toilet tutorial, nice. Toiletorial. That's right, toiletorial. And that's what I like. And by the way, for me, Drew, I dig. This comes off as somehow like pejorative for other people. Yes, it feels critical because I can't do that.
Starting point is 00:34:57 I don't, it's like telling me to go do push-ups. What I'm saying really is A, it has nothing to do with you. I'm trying to solve this problem. Unfortunately you're in the equation, but it's the problem that I'm trying to solve. B, you're the poor one who has to buy the heavy cans and schlep them into the thing and do the whatever. I am looking to help you in this process and it is a part of life for me that once it ceases then you cease to exist. Huh? Powerful. Propostatles said that.
Starting point is 00:35:38 Proctostatles? Yes. No, what I'm saying is this. No, but listen. No, no, no. You listen to me. Really? When you stop, when somebody like me stops this process, I will cease to exist. If my mom started it, she would go up in a puff of smoke, I'm sure. Started what? The process of constantly refining, walking through a space, trying to figure out ways to make that better. Yeah. Think about the goddamn Apple computer.
Starting point is 00:36:11 Yeah. Think, anyone want to picture an Apple computer, a Macintosh computer from the mid-80s? Yeah. The early, remember the huge weird beige box that sat upon you or whatever that had about the calculating power of somebody's digital watch now that's four years old. Well the point is is all that thing did was get better and all jobs and whoever together and the rest of the team did was go how how do we get this smaller, more functional, more aesthetically, whatever? And you can see, take the Apple computer and just go right through 1983 to today, to today's
Starting point is 00:36:59 tablets. Now, that process can't stop today. If it did, guys like that would just die in the vine. I like that process. I'm not saying Steve Jobs is as smart as me. What I'm saying is that process, that's our life. That's our nation. That's us as human beings.
Starting point is 00:37:24 And it's the exact opposite of animals. I getcha. But once people have a habitual behavior of any type, a customary behavior, getting that to adjust, change, difficult. Whether it's a habit playing the piano, or opening a damn can every day at a certain time. And I agree, there's an element of, if a guy-
Starting point is 00:37:45 Initiation of change, we do not think about that enough. It's what- Think about it, we never talk about it. No, I know. And then as a corollary to that, motivation to initiate change. Those two things are very important. Well, the motivation should be there
Starting point is 00:38:00 because of what it takes to go through. You know, as I think about the resistance you get to it, in a way, that may be where you get the resistance. Because you're telling me, who do you think you are, that I should be motivated to change this, I'm just fine. It's an impingement on myself a little bit. Yeah. It's interesting.
Starting point is 00:38:23 Yeah, no, it is. I believe, and this is what's good about team sports I always say. Nothing personal. Always say this. Always say it's it's it's look and if you play a lot of team sports early and often you get very used to somebody saying hey you just did this wrong, you're doing it wrong. You need to start doing it this way. And I'm not saying it to you because I dislike you. I'm saying it to you because you missed a block and our quarterback got crushed. So do it this way.
Starting point is 00:38:53 This is the proper technique and the proper form. And the other thing that's also interesting about it is the guys on the other side of the ball, who you just blocked this time, his coach is now telling him, you just got blocked by this guy. Here's the technique for getting around him and it never ends. So it gets better, better, better. What are you saying? I'm saying, but you learn very quickly. When I was a kid and you know, coach Gallagher, God bless him, would tell me what to do. I was never like, hey man, why are you hassling me? I just assumed there was something that I wasn't doing correctly and then I would do it.
Starting point is 00:39:25 And once that gets beaten into you, through team sports, as you know, and then your team sports leads into you being a young physician or an intern or whatever it is and having people above you with more experience, explain to you, here's how this procedure is done, and you're all ears. But never feeling like the guy had it in for you. Once in a while the tone is bad, once in a while the coach is rough, the instructor, the professor,
Starting point is 00:39:55 but ultimately it's the information. They may be tough trying to teach you a lesson just the way the coach might be tough. They might try to break, not break you down, but like get your attention in an aggressive way. Right, and I think it's happening at my house, by the way. I want Molly on the kibble. And I want Molly on the kibble, not really for me,
Starting point is 00:40:21 but really for the calories I see burned by others. The same way, and then we need to take a break. The same. And then falls. No, when I see, if I walked by a guy who was painting a wall or the outside of his building and holding the roller in his hand like they do in all those horrible commercials
Starting point is 00:40:44 and dipping it into a tray and then holding and then doing the thing I would say to him, if I didn't know him if he was a distant cousin of Adolf Hitler I would still say put a six-foot extension screw it in there, get a five-gallon bucket, hang a screen in it then you don't have to bend over and slosh the stuff in and out. You don't have to keep refilling the shallow pan. You dump the whole gallon of paint in there and then you stand up straight, give your
Starting point is 00:41:11 back a break, dip it in the bucket, roll it on the screen and then stand back from the wall and do it that way. That'll save you a ton of time. Not my building, not my paint, not my property. That's what I would say to them. So what you're saying to everybody saying to everybody only know what their answer to me fuck off old man. Yeah, why he has me man But you're just saying everyone listen to me Only about shit that I talk about okay Got it because I will not say a fucking word got that Chris only this what comes out of his mouth
Starting point is 00:41:43 Everyone listen to me. Don't listen to anything else is what comes out of his mouth. Everyone listen to me. Don't listen to anything else except what comes out of his mouth. Chris, he's checking, taking a note. Taking a note, see how good that was? Chris, Gary, both taking notes. Have I ever tried to tell you anything about computers? No, not once. Or about how things work on the internet?
Starting point is 00:42:00 Not a single time. All right, you wanna know why? Don't know shit. Don't know a fucking thing about that. Thus, no words. But building, cars, psychology, lots of words. Lots of words. All right, quick break.
Starting point is 00:42:15 Right back with more words next. Hey, it's Adam Kroll from the Adam Kroll Show.

Let's try four real quick, easy one. All right, let's talk to Matt on line one. Matt. I just do that because it's funny.
Starting point is 00:43:37 Hey, Jacob. Yeah. Fifteen, Cleveland. Yeah, what's going on? I'm a huge fan. Thank you. Great to talk to you. Thanks, Jacob. Yeah, what's going on? I'm a huge fan. Thank you. Great to talk to both of you. Thanks, Jacob.
Starting point is 00:43:46 What's up? Well, I kind of, over the past year, my friends and then gradually I started smoking weed, you know, on the weekends and I kind of grew more and more. Nothing really is happening now, you know, nothing I've ever noticed, but like I'm just looking, you know, long I've really noticed, but like I'm just looking, you know, long-term effects really of... I urge you to go... Jacob, go look it up online.
Starting point is 00:44:09 There's a bunch of literature now about the long-term cognitive effects, like developmental and intellectual effects of pot when you start smoking young like this. And you judge for yourself. I don't... You're not addicted to it, are you? No, no, I mean it's more like on the weekends. Yeah, because. Not when I'm alone.
Starting point is 00:44:30 Right, Jacob, an addict will be like, I'll just love it and be thinking about it all the time. The non-addict will kind of like, ah, it's fine, I'll giggle a little bit. But even modest use, like even just weekend use, can have some effects on, literally the growth and development of the brain.
Starting point is 00:44:46 There's now a bunch of literature showing that the hippocampus changes and the amygdala changes, and the antracingulate and frontal cortices change a little bit. So I just worry about it. It's up to you, my friend, judge for yourself. I think if you read that stuff, you'll probably decide it's not a great idea. Jacob, listen, I don't think it's a great idea to want to be altered that much at that age. Are you depressed, Jacob?
Starting point is 00:45:11 No, no, I mean it's something that kind of just came up, I mean, you know, it's, you know, I'm in high school now, so someone brought it in, and then, you know, over time we thought it was fun. It's not really, you know, to make up for any stress or any, you know, things like that. I know. Here's my point. My point, people do this thing all the time where it's like, does it affect your development? Does it affect your brain?
Starting point is 00:45:36 They're talking like neurosurgeons. Here's what I know. The more time you spend altered, the less time you spend learning, developing, and whatevering. I'm not saying you're damaging your brain, you're just basically unplugging it when it's altered. You're just saying, look, take the night off. Take the night off, take the afternoon off, take the morning off. And the more you tell your brain, at a young age especially, take the night off, the less developing you're going to do because this is a point in your life, 15 to 25 or 19 or whatever it is, where there's going to be a lot of information coming in. So if you're sort of blocking that information or just focusing on that information that's on MTV, you're gonna have some trouble in the future
Starting point is 00:46:25 in terms of keeping up with the Joneses psychologically. If you follow that logic, if it's not a biological effect but sort of a developmental effect, there may be windows of development, which if you miss, you can't catch up on later. Right. But here, I know, my God, something's driving me insane. I still get people like, you hate pot, you're vilifying pot.
Starting point is 00:46:48 I don't hate pot. I don't care if people smoke pot. I really don't. If people don't smoke pot, enjoy. Have a nice time. But I like talking about drugs and their effect on humans, all kinds of drugs. And then they go, oh man, you only the big pharma drugs. Wait a minute, I'm a physician I
Starting point is 00:47:05 only have three things I can do I have a relationship and I can educate you I can do surgery and I can use medicine mm-hmm those only three things I can do as a physician and I'm not a surgeon can't bang a nurse on occasion occasion okay but I can educate and I can use medication that are made by companies that make medication Oh, so your shill for the man, right? And this drives me insane really I'm really troubled by it and I listen because it's so Anathema to who I am people on smoke pot enjoy. Well, I'm fine. I have no problem. I have no problem
Starting point is 00:47:36 I'm a big very farmer. I'm anxious to see what happens in Colorado and Washington I think it's very very interesting what they've legalized it fantastic fantastic look yes, I know I look I'm the same way It's this thing of like everything has to be black and white look. I don't care about pot I don't care if you smoke pot, but let's not pretend. It's not nothing it I know it's a double negative, but what I'm saying is is it's something you wouldn't smoke it if it wasn't something It alters you in a way, which I'm saying is okay on occasion, but at age 15, you should spend as little time altered as possible. And by the same token, we over, over-
Starting point is 00:48:14 He said token, dude. That's for Chris? Like token out. Oh, I see, token. Yeah, like you're token out. See how Matt did that? That was quite a move. Whoa, like it was automatic. That's Maxipada. What'd I say? Who'd I say? He's called him Matt. Oh, I see. And that move he does is not a bong move, it's a cock-chucking move. I see. I thought at first he meant smoking pot until I saw him dropping. He was like, what is that you're doing with the carb? And he's like, no, he's putting a finger up the d***s ass. And I was like was like what what are you doing? Where's the carb? I was like why is the carb underneath the ball? You know like on the base because I normally when you do the bong load move you do the carb move on the side
Starting point is 00:48:53 Sure, he was doing his index finger on the back. I saw it I saw it and by the way it was his index finger it was the third finger Why'd you lick it? Why'd you have to lick it? Like at first I thought he's trying to get a seal on the carb and then he's like, no dude, that's a dude's asshole. And I was like, wait a minute, don't we talk about smoking pot? He's like, no, I'm chugging cock. And I'm like, oh, oh.
Starting point is 00:49:15 That's what that move was. That's what that is. That's his move. It was pretty natural too. Yeah, it's his move. Anyway, we are overdoing medication in this country too. Even though I as a physician can only use medicine. My dad was a family practitioner.
Starting point is 00:49:25 He always taught me medicines are the only when you have to take medication do you give medicine. Yeah. We so overdo medication. And where's your dad now? He's 83. He's gone, right? Yes.
Starting point is 00:49:37 Okay, so maybe that wasn't it. I'm just saying. Jesus. Where is he now? I'm all upset about my dog. Did your daddy rocks? What happened? That dog is eating rocks. You look at you see the x-ray? Put it put it up there guys. It's stunning. Look. Oh my god. Look at that. Look at that. Well we'll put it
Starting point is 00:49:59 up at I don't know adamanddrew.com. Yeah. AdamGrohl.com, the Adam and Dr. Drew show page. Thank you. Those are medium-sized rocks. Yes. For a dog that size. Yes. Those aren't passing? No.
Starting point is 00:50:14 Yes, I look at them, I'm like, why don't we wait it out all the way. Well, I know. Well, you look at the x-ray and then you look at your checking account and you go, why don't we just see what happens? And by the way, couldn't we feed the dog a nice tub of lithium grease? You know, I mean, like the dog will eat anything, right? No, we do stuff like that with humans to push stuff through. We have something called a cancer tube.
Starting point is 00:50:37 You push this like a mercury-containing... Chew shows up singing? No, not that. Like a mercury-containing bag that you push up and have them swallow down and that pushes stuff through. But is there a, you know, I feel like the dog's one trip away from Del Taco. Yeah, yeah. Away from just blasting everything out of its ass. You know what I mean? Yeah, feed a Mexican. Just take the dog to Tijuana for an afternoon. Tell him to go sick. Is there a lube but that one can eat is now I'm saying
Starting point is 00:51:06 It's more like like I've because you'll absorb all that I'm gonna push through like something that that's got volume. Oh boy. No All right, where were we? These dogs they would just be dead if they were if they were if they grew up in our families, they'd be gone, right? Oh yeah. Your dad would either be like, either I'll do the surgery myself, or the dog's fucking dead. Clear off the dining room table.
Starting point is 00:51:34 It'd be like seen from the Civil War, just moving all the stuff off the table. It'd be on the stovetop. Is that where they do it? Or the grill? Well, they would do it like in Master and Commander when they'd like take the captain's desk and like yeah take the candelabra and the you know take it all off spread it out or war all right let's see we got a question you pick I'll go up to the top Matt 23 San Jose what's going on Adam
Starting point is 00:52:01 what's going on man how are you good got to say your analogies are always on point and your comedic brilliance is on par with Hicks and Carlin, man. I love you. Thank you. So, to continue the conversation on marijuana, why is marijuana a Schedule I controlled substance? I don't understand that. Why is anything a Schedule I? The Controlled Substance Act that you're talking about, wasn't that developed
Starting point is 00:52:26 in 1911? No, 1970. Oh, 70. Because there was the Harrison Narcotic Act, which all this stuff was based on, and it's all very weird and draconian and doesn't sort of fit how humans relate to these things. And it's based on the idea that there's a good drug and a bad drug. That's insane. Right. Or a badder drug and a nicer drug.
Starting point is 00:52:47 Like an evil drug and a not evil drug. Alcohol, good. Marijuana, bad. Heroin, bad. Cocaine, bad. Cigarettes, good. No, no, no, no. Well, back then.
Starting point is 00:52:56 Yeah. But don't you feel, Drew, that this is all we do in life? Don't you feel like we're not so interested in the answer, but more in the proclamation of this guy's on the left and that guy's on the right. You're for this and you're, oh, you're so, you're for, you know, you show, you go, okay, you know, whatever it is. When it comes to politics, you go, okay, look,
Starting point is 00:53:24 let's see if we can work on, as they aforementioned, illegal immigration. Okay, so you're for suppression of immigration. And it's like, no, I'm trying to solve a problem. So everyone just gets, everyone gets a painted with something, and drugs get painted, everything gets painted, and there's no gray area. And then we can never really have a discussion about solving a problem. And so what happens, I'll tell you what happens. Tell me, dig.
Starting point is 00:53:50 Dig. What happened with pot, I've said this many times, reefer madness came out. And so they went way over like, oh, you'll kill, you'll jump off a building, you'll kill your girlfriend, you'll go insane. And then people smoked pot and went, oh, this is not so bad, I'm not killing anyone and by the way
Starting point is 00:54:07 then they went I can't trust anything coming out of the man that's right because the man that's right doesn't tell me the truth when the man needed to say and everybody in life needed to say no you can smoke pot it's not gonna kill you you can smoke it ten times a hundred times it's not gonna kill you I don't think it's gonna add to your overall quality of life. There are certain risks in it Let's start with a realistic. I think if I spoke to you twenty years from now You would not be happy that you smoked every day for twenty years And if you got panic attacks or something if you showed about that if you showed me a person that smoked every day for the last 20 years and someone who didn't, I think I could tell you the difference without asking them the question. So
Starting point is 00:54:50 it's gray, it's not black and white, and if we approach all problems that way then we can solve the problems. But if we want to either go reefer madness or you're anti-immigration, then we can never address what the problem is because then I just defend myself. Reifermanis is insane. What do you mean? I'm not a bigot. I'm not anti whatever the nationality is. Yeah, but Reifermanis is either Reifermanis or it's the greatest thing since sliced bread.
Starting point is 00:55:21 Right. And it's in between. Hey, Gary, I'm going to schedule a guy on my podcast that is sort of the marijuana czar for the White House. And we'll pick his brain and see why they have the positions they have and that kind of thing. Heroin addict wife been missing for a year. Jason? Hey there. Your heroin addict wife has been missing for a year?
Starting point is 00:55:43 It's awful Yeah see we had our daughter in in 2009 and shortly after that she Was she developed some sort of back pain and her doctor prescribed her a medication called Volpana Yeah, which is morphine. Yeah Basically after a while she stopped taking it as directed and started crushing it up and smording it. Okay.
Starting point is 00:56:11 So Jason, heroin addict, got it, triggered by the medical system, happens a lot. What's up? Yeah. Well, now I'm raising my three-year-old daughter by myself, and I don't know what to do. I don't know where she is. On my days off, I go downtown and I look for her. I actually found her last month, and all she said to me was,
Starting point is 00:56:37 fuck you, you stole my daughter away from me. Whenever you see moms leaving kids, always drug addiction, or severe mental illness, but usually these days drug addiction. How about locking themselves in a room and yelling, freak out? Yeah, but she didn't leave you. She subjected you to it in a long time. You would have maybe been happier had she left.
Starting point is 00:57:01 So what? She's a severe heroin addict. You can't do anything about that, Jason. You can go to Al-Anon, these programs for people who love people with this disease of addiction. Let's say he was rich. What would you tell him to do? If he had unlimited resources, I would go to law enforcement and say, what can we do
Starting point is 00:57:20 here? That seems free to me. Hold on. Can we haul her in for something? And would you help me do it? I've got a plane waiting to take her to Hazleton for the next two years or Springbrook here Springbrook rates out of Portland's one of the best programs in the country We got a car ready to take locked vehicles take her to Portland help me arrest her because she's on she's actively using she's packing something
Starting point is 00:57:40 I guarantee you Make sure the judge is on board with this and and let's do this, and she's gonna stay a year at least in treatment. That's it. Well, she was arrested last December of 2011, and spent 10 days in jail. She took 18 months probation, and now she's living on the streets, she's got a warrant out for
Starting point is 00:58:07 her arrest. Like I said, I would have her arrested and I would get the legal system involved in mandating treatment. And Springbrook, honest to God, if you can afford it, is one of the best programs in the country. It is right there in Portland where you are. Yeah. I mean, obviously, all-in-on and focusing on your kid is all that you can do.
Starting point is 00:58:27 But again, like I said, there is the, I'm gonna go down there. I mean, look, you see all the movies. I'm gonna go down there, I'm gonna get my buddy, he's got a van, we're gonna go get her. We're gonna, you know, dragging her to treatment. You know, there's this point. And Steve was alive today because Knoxville called me
Starting point is 00:58:47 and said, what do you do? I said, you've tied each other up a million times, tie him up, throw him in the trunk, take him down to Cedars right now. And he did it. Yeah. And Steve-O's five years sober. He's fantastic.
Starting point is 00:58:57 Because Knoxville, people never do what I tell them. And when they do, the magic, I know. We should do a show. We should do a show. But here's what they don't do. Listen to us. Here's what they don't do what I tell them. When I they do, the magic, I know. We should do a show. But here's what they don't do when I tell them. When I say, get your wife arrested, this guy won't do that. When I say, go to Al-Anon, this guy won't do that. And I find that stunning. That's an order. That's what you need to do to save her life and to protect your mental health.
Starting point is 00:59:18 You know what's weird, Drew? You're not a roofer. And I'm not an unemployed barber who's living at home. We're fairly successful people who have certain areas of expertise. Why not listen to us? Well, you first pointed that out to us. Somebody came in and a carpenter told somebody how to swing a door. They wouldn't argue with them.
Starting point is 00:59:44 They wouldn't not do them, they wouldn't not do it. Yeah, that's the only, that's the part that I always find interesting is there are what I call sort of tangible, mechanical endeavors, science, and then there's stuff unfortunately that gets you know unfortunately what I what I used to do was very tangible. Carpentry man. Yes I would come into the someone's house and I would say do you know what the strike side and the butt side is of the door and do you know what a mortise is and you know what finger jointed pine is and you know the difference between
Starting point is 01:00:27 Casing door casing and door stop and you know What size hinges exterior door should have and do you know what an? Interior door size should be and the thickness and you know That's a 8-0 and a 6-0 and a 3-8 and all that kind of 3-6 and all kind of stuff And they just sit there and look at me and go I don't I can't do a fucking thing. You're the expert you you I Trust you you do it and look at me and go, I don't know, I can't do a fucking thing. You're the expert. You do. I trust you. You do it. They physically was physically impossible for them to take oak French doors and hang them.
Starting point is 01:00:52 They didn't know how to put a fucking bevel on the strike side and the butt side. And they don't have the equipment to physically do it. And then there's sort of you. And then there's sort of you. And unfortunately, your science to them is somewhere between like soothsayer and meteorologist or something. Like we're like, yeah, so you're saying what? Because I've never had that before. And I got my own ways.
Starting point is 01:01:22 And you know what? There's a dude who works down at Whole Foods, he's an Asian cat, and he doesn't agree. He doesn't agree. Yeah, let me give an example of that. Two examples. One is my daughter got sick, got really bad flu in spite of the flu vaccine, really got it.
Starting point is 01:01:40 Really? Vomiting, diarrhea, high fevers. And I watched for about a night and then when it became clear to me what this was, I was like, all right, you're sick. I can take care of sick people. Right. I got at the CompCene, put on Tamiflu, got the Tile, got the fever down, I got her on antiviral medicines. Guess what? Better in 12 hours. From really sick to better in 12 hours. Right. I know how to do that. Yes. No Whole Foods is going to do that.
Starting point is 01:02:07 Not going to knock it out with carrot juice. Right. There's illness. And when you have illness, you are fighting physiology, and you have to fight fire with fire. Right. By the same token, the dog, which I'm all upset about to this second, the vet calls me today, explains this x-ray.
Starting point is 01:02:23 And I'm like, you know, humans, if you get past the esophagus, you usually get it all the way through. She's like, not so with dogs, this dog needs to go to surgery right now. Not my judgment, my judgment is no, let's wait till that pass. The expert says, let's go, guess what?
Starting point is 01:02:37 We go. We go to surgery. I don't feel great about it, but that's her area of expertise, we go. You know what my theory is? Here's my theory on vets. Yeah. Don't fuck me up now.
Starting point is 01:02:49 I'm gonna tell you right now. Because I'm sad about it. What's the wife driving? What do you mean? She driving the Cayenne? No. What's she driving? Like a Toyota SUV.
Starting point is 01:02:58 Mm-hmm. It's still a $55,000 vehicle. Yeah. All right. They see the blonde dressed nicely nicely nice rock on the finger pulling up in the $55,000 That's the shit I get painted and they just go ching ching ching I think they're professional you hire a homeless dude to tie a lamp cord around that dog's neck and to come in there
Starting point is 01:03:21 You take some fucking rye whiskey and just dump it on the dude a little fecal mat You tell him to shit himself and he just drags the dog and he's I found Underpass and that fucking rocks removed Either free or like ten bucks a rock They see you pull up in the fucking Lexus with the big fucking gate the big ring big rock on the finger rock on the finger Expensive rock on the dog. That's what I'm saying. I see you coming in there crying. And she does, by the way, they know the person who's bringing the dog in, not the one paying. That's a huge difference. Because when the person who brings the dog in is the one who's also paying for the dog,
Starting point is 01:04:03 that's a different tone, a different your wife goes in there my wife goes there whatever it takes whatever it takes I don't care if you have to fly people in from the Mayo Clinic on a Learjet this dog needs me there and that person goes and listen you can't help it it's like you they don't have a set price for removing rocks from dogs asses they okay must. Okay. Lose for thought. Listen, they're pros. I've had actually really good experience with that lately, so I appreciate it. All right.
