You've got to be one of the first guys. March 2006. March 2006. Wow. There was a time I used to battle it out at the top of iTunes. It was the Onion, Me, and I think there was one more. And we were like the top three.
Starting point is 00:02:39 We would circle around each other. Now, I'm lucky if I make the top 100. How many podcasts were there to your knowledge or on iTunes or wherever I mean there's no way to really know this but in 2000 March of 2006. Your radio show was it would be reissued as a podcast every day if I'm not mistaken so you had one but for the most part it was I don't know I'm gonna guess 72 that seem high seem low. Well there's 250,000 on iTunes now. There were 72 at the time. I'm gonna stand by my number. No it's unbelievable never not funny. Yeah. I've
Starting point is 00:03:15 done it a few times. You did you were kind enough to join us in studio and then you were part of our smile train charity show that we did back, uh, I believe you were on 2011's. Jimmy, uh, is gonna be, well, Rooster Teeth Feathers, right? That's, that's, that's, I hit rock bottom at Rooster Teeth Feathers. June 7th through the 9th, Sunnyvale, California. Yeah. Um, now I do believe you, if you park yourself somewhere in, uh, San Francisco, you have to take a bridge over there.
Starting point is 00:03:45 But maybe that was, oh maybe I was going from Berkeley to Sunnyvale. I figure out what bridge you take to get there. It wasn't the Golden Gate, but I don't know. I just stay right down the street from there. Oh, in the Stainton Sunnyvale. I fly into San Jose. Yeah. And then I just drive in.
Starting point is 00:04:02 Yeah. I, that place has been around for a million years it has it's got a lot of history And then I go and muck it up once a year the the only Show business connection I ever had was my grandmother somehow knew the woman that ran that club I can't even recall her name the woman that owns it currently or the woman that used to own it I well I'm gonna go used to okay. Yeah, do you remember her? She had she hated me. I used to do an opening line where I would say it's nice to be here I'm gonna I'm gonna muck this up I haven't said it in ten years but I used to say something about it. We'll get another take and just slug it in.
Starting point is 00:04:34 I used to say it's like this is it's gonna be I'm gonna be saying that quite a bit tonight just to convince myself this is a shit gig who we can this is a shit gig on comedy next to a tire shop. Right. And she called my agent the very next day if he says it again we're firing them right we can't have we worked hard on this club you're still a shithole next to a tire shop right and I do it every club I go to it's the opening line it sets the character you're dumb right how do you want a comedy club and be that dumb well it's funny it amazing. It's the San Mateo Bridge, you say Wes? Yeah, that's right.
Starting point is 00:05:08 I literally wanted to drive off of that bridge as I was leaving that club. You had a tough time? It's the only time, I didn't even have a tough time. I had like a non-time. This is a long time ago, right? Yeah, it's the only time I contemplated suicide. No, I remember this story. I didn't realize that's what you're talking about. That was all
Starting point is 00:05:27 20 years ago. Yes, I had somehow Decided that I couldn't get any traction in LA Doing stand-up because it was all just stand in line open mic I needed a club, you know, like I need my own club to work out of you know, 20 years local Yeah, more more than that. It was it was yeah, it was probably 1989 1990 and I I was like I was living with my stripper girlfriend and from Hounds to Hounds low Houndslow England yeah and in a little
Starting point is 00:06:07 crappy apartment in North Hollywood and I was I had this idea that I was going to go to San Francisco and and like find some club and like make it my own you know like work out every night Like I just knew I need a repetition. I just three minutes every other week standing in line You know to open mics I need I needed stage time, you know And I always heard about these guys that had their own local clubs They'd get up and work out all the time and stuff and that's what I was gonna do and I couldn't do it in LA Mm-hmm, and I packed up my
Starting point is 00:06:43 the time and stuff and that's what I was going to do and I couldn't do it in LA. Then I packed up my Datsun mini pickup truck and I told my girlfriend. With the bench, with the stool seats? No, those were dinette seats. This was the next one. That was my Mazda. I said, I'm going out there. I'm going to crash over at my friend Zeb is renting a house in Berkeley with like four dudes. Z was am Sam
Starting point is 00:07:05 No, that's um get um get I was saying I said how old the guy's ebb and where did he grow up? Because I know what's ebb you can't be two Zeb's in the world. There are a couple. I know one There's one he grew up in North Hollywood. That's not my guy. Yeah, see well It's a biblical thing I think is that this guy was outside of Chicago my guy. Yeah, see? It's a Biblical thing, I think. Is it? This guy was outside of Chicago. Zeb. I don't know. Played guitar. He's got to play guitar, rhythm guitar. Couldn't do lead, wasn't good enough. No, no. Yeah, that's what I hear when I hear rhythm. You hear guys that's not good enough to play lead? Then when I hear bass, I hear not good enough to play rhythm. Play guitar, sure. And then when I hear drums, I hear not good enough to play bass. And then
Starting point is 00:07:40 at a certain point, we just keep going. Then you're the manager. Then you're manager. So I was going to crash there and get my shit together and my grandmother, this is the only act of nepotism that the Corollas have ever partaken in. My grandmother knew the old Dom that owned that club somehow. I don't know how she knew her, but she literally called her and said hey my grandson's coming out your way like on a Wednesday night could he do ten minutes or something and she's yeah, okay, right and I remember so I built into this for For weeks for months and then I went up and I did ten minutes of sort of who cares comedy in front of a crowd that was like, who gives a shit? And it wasn't, you know, tepid response. It wasn't, it wouldn't make a good scene
Starting point is 00:08:29 in a movie. There was no booing or anything, but I just left the stage going, well, that, that was a four and a half, maybe a five. So what was it? Was it the buildup that, because then you say you contemplated suicide, was it the buildup that you thought it was going to be better? Why, why? I was driving across the bridge on the way back and it was pouring rain. I was in my pickup truck and I realized I'm just going to have to pack my shit and go back to LA. And when I go back to LA, I'm going to have to move back in my crappy apartment and beg for my construction job. My back, you know, and I've of my dreams of sort of San Francisco and me becoming the Robin Williams of the town and toast of the city and all it just I just realized I wasn't any good and this wasn't gonna work out and I just
Starting point is 00:09:12 Gonna drive back to LA and I just remember just going this fucking sucks I was right at the top of the bridge. It was just pouring rain I just thought I just pull that wheel hard to the right I don't have to deal with my girl the look on my girlfriend's face when I come back through the door. And she's banging some other guy because she's a snipper. Well, he'd be banging her, but yeah. Yeah, that's what.
Starting point is 00:09:31 You know what I meant. I know what you meant, yeah. I know exactly what you mean. But thank God. Thank heavens. Thank heavens I did not pull on that wheel. So Jimmy, you grew up where and started doing comedy. South Side of Chicago.
Starting point is 00:09:45 Oh, the guy, yeah, playing rhythm guitar. I was the lead singer of the rock and roll band. Zeb didn't even make the band. Didn't even let Zeb in that outfit. And then I did stand up on the South Side of Chicago. My first one was in Merrillville, Indiana. It was my first time on stage. You strike me as a guy who, if I was casting a comedian I would cast you.
Starting point is 00:10:05 Would you really? Yeah. I would go taller, maybe thinner, maybe a little less charactery. No, no, no. I'm saying that, that, no, no. See, to me that's, you're a comedian. You like this. You're a comedian material, yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:19 You're taller. Yeah. Really. You know what's funny is I made my living. But everything about you, I'm not just, I'm not talking about, I'm not talking about like physicality per se. Well I appreciate it. I'm going to spin this complimentary I guess. Yeah, no it is. You know in the early 2000s I made my living hosting game shows and game show pilots and I got a few on the air.
Starting point is 00:10:37 And so now when everybody wants to do like some sitcom on Disney, hey get a game show host. They always go well, cast Jimmy Pardo. Right. I don't look like a game show host. I am a game show host. They always go, well, cast Jimmy Pardo. Right. And I don't look like a game show host. I am a game show host, if that makes sense. Yeah, no, no. You know what I mean? I'm not guy smiley.
Starting point is 00:10:51 You know what I mean? No, but you do. Look, you are, your cadence, your tone, like you could do that. It's in my bones. It's in your bones. And speaking about bones, Jimmy. Really?
Starting point is 00:11:03 Yeah. Dropped 30 pounds. Really? I did. It's a big deal. How tall are you? Listen, I'm not comfortable talking about that on the air. I'm 5 foot 4 and 1 half.
Starting point is 00:11:13 He's tall. I may be tall in that, but first. No, not. I may be 5'5". I may be, but I say 5'4 for humor. Hold on. What? You're taller than that, aren't you?
Starting point is 00:11:23 No. My personality makes you think I'm taller No, I'm Chris Max Pat. How tall are you Mike five three? Oh, yeah, he's a circus freak. Oh really? Yeah, I can't even listen you see that guy come in you're thinking you're gonna see a show I'm taller than that. Are you five four? I think yeah, I'm like five three five four I'm I stop measuring got too depressing. Oh, it said I did that my cock I stopped measuring, it got too depressing. It's sad. I did that in my cock.
Starting point is 00:11:44 How are you doing? Wait a minute. He kept measuring his balls. Are you an inch taller than Chris Max Pat over there? I'm 5'4.5", so I don't know. Whatever he comes in at, I'll be taller then. Wow, how do you present as so much taller? Well, anyway, so to take 30 pounds off a 6-2 frame is a lot of weight in you
Starting point is 00:12:11 Who weren't fat in my mind? I never thought of you as fat what where'd all the weight loss come in a lot of it was here a lot was right on the neck and then I had a lot around the A lot was right there, right in the neck. And then I had a lot around the, what's that, the spare tire they call it, I guess. I put 10 pounds on. I was 157. The heaviest I ever was 167. And I got down to 137.
Starting point is 00:12:36 This time I got down to 127. And how, wow. I looked, it was in my high school. Drew was infuriated with this conversation. No, I'm infuriated because H.O. Land is saying I have to come on the telephone on this very second. Well, listen, Drew, first off, stop pouting on there. I'm so pissed. That pisses me off so much. You got to run H.O. Land right now?
Starting point is 00:12:54 Hey, Drew. That's what they want. Is there a Geordiarius controversy? Who knows what? Hold on a second. Let me say something. A couple things. Remember when we used to do Love Line and producer Anne would come in on Thursday night when we're leaving for the car and go, we got to get this liner for this affiliate station. And I'd go, well, we'll do it Sunday when we come in.
Starting point is 00:13:16 And she'd go, no, no, they need it. No, they need it. Hold on, listen to me. Yeah. They need it tomorrow morning. And I'd say, well, if they needed it for tomorrow morning And it was that important to them. They should have fucking sent it to you Monday not Thursday night That's not on me. Mm-hmm. That's on them. I'm leaving and next time We'll send the message that if you really need it for Friday morning, and it's super important
Starting point is 00:13:41 Then you get it to us on Monday and you have it but it's the same thing this could be Jamie Les Mittle they need me they're waiting on the air get the fuck out of here listen I got Jimmy Pardo he's a pro it's a pleasure don't complain I hope to God well don't be put upon and do it just don't do it or be all right Drew likes these it's a drama
Starting point is 00:14:06 he likes the drama he's a drama who's he gonna talk to it that wolf blitzer he's over there a headline on CNN proper he's HLN what Drew does is he does everything that everyone tells him to do but then he goes to his room he's a lot like he's a lot like a woman after being date raped. When it's happening, she's had a couple of Zimas, she was formerly attracted to the guy, but then there's a certain point when she gets back to her dorm room and just breaks down to a heap of tears and then she starts beating the pillow and stuff like she realized at the time didn't really feel victimized later on it like sinks in okay
Starting point is 00:14:47 And that's what happens with drew that's what happens with true He's he's starting to do it more in real time now But then later on he gets pissed off like someone else come up to us at an airport and go What makes you think you're qualified to give all the answers? They'll go I I don't feel like I'm qualified. I I to help him and I'm like, fuck off, cunt. And the old lady will take her wheelchair and go the other direction. But, or sometimes it's a stroke cane, it's not always a wheelchair. But the point is this, then later on that night, Drew will be like, I can't believe
Starting point is 00:15:20 that woman came up to us and he starts getting retroactively angry and insulted. And I'm like, well next time don't react to the time don't get nice don't fuck off right then and there so droves that he's a but he's a doctor he's got to have more bedside manner than that you're a you're a jackass comic i mean complimentary i am that's how i'm taking your lot of said what you want how how did you scrub off all that way uh... i went i kinda went crazy. Here's what ended up happening. I did a pilot.
Starting point is 00:15:46 When did it happen? No, you know what? We got to when the Conan we went to tonight show ended. I kind of had nothing going on because I work over at Conan. Right. And I had nothing going on. So I just sat on my here's the this the truth. I said I spent an entire month and a half watching the box set of Miami Vice at night
Starting point is 00:16:04 depressed because you can't sleep when you're depressed. I'm not just staring at the box actually watching the box set of Miami Vice at night depressed because you can't sleep when you're depressed. Now not just staring at the box actually watching the content. No, I'm staring at the box. Oh wow. Is that depressed? You've got to see that packaging. It is outstanding.
Starting point is 00:16:14 I would watch every night I would watch a couple episodes while eating grapes as if I was you know King, I was going to say King Herod. Right. Or King Herod better. But I was just basically I was just eating grapes and going, King Herod. But I was just basically eating grapes and going, well, it's fruit. But literally just blowing. It was my, instead of ice cream, I ate grapes like an asshole. And so I just started just getting all bloated.
Starting point is 00:16:36 And then I would watch, I literally was the cliche, I would watch, what's that show, The Biggest Loser. I'd watch that while eating a pizza. It's like, ah, look at these assholes. Now, where was your wife at the time? Well, during the Miami Vice, she was anywhere but there. She was avoiding that scene. Sure.
Starting point is 00:16:52 Probably, you know, she was asleep like a normal person. And The Biggest Loser, she would be having dinner too, but she would eat one slice, and I would eat the other 19. It's got to be weird, though, like when she's, you know, with her friends hashing things out, and they're talking about, you know, with her friends, hashing things out and they're talking about, you know, going on heroin binders and, and, and whoring and it's like Jimmy's taken to watching Miami Vice and eating grapes.
Starting point is 00:17:16 Yes, it's, I stopped drinking in 99. So that was, that was my first rock bottom and this was my second rock bottom, was the great Miami Vice Don Johnson episode of 2010. So yeah, so then I was watching Biggest Loser and admittedly went a little crazy and I started, I was like, well you know what, again, cliched, if they could do it, I could do it. So I then started running a mile in the morning and a mile at night. And then at first it was just I was running a house length and then walking right right I had no stamina at all right and then you know now I just you know now I ran you know three and a half miles yesterday
Starting point is 00:17:52 and I built up I enjoy it I've gotten to the point where I enjoy it yeah no listen I every hmm every story that that that it mirrors yours is, you know, people just go, I go, wow, man, what'd you do? And they go, I stopped drinking soda and I started moving. Like, I just started moving. The notion that, you know, at last count there were two billion diet books on Amazon and that if you ever check the top 10 on Amazon, four will be diet books, notion that it is one of the biggest no duh. It speaks to our narcissistic wiring, which is I do want to lose weight, but I still want to watch Crockett and Tubbs and eat these grapes.
Starting point is 00:18:42 And it's like, well, that's not the way, that's not our deal. If you would like to lose the weight, put the grapes down. And get away from them as quickly as possible. And run a mile around in a pack. And take it easy on the soda, and take it easy on the junk, and start moving. And we all know it. Everyone knows it. We just won't do it, and thus another book is sold, because we're trying to skirt it like it's the IRS.
Starting point is 00:19:06 For reasons that make no sense. I mean, it's the easiest thing. It costs nothing to run around your neighborhood for a half hour. Well, it makes all the sense in the world if you are narcissistic and your society is sort of out of problems and you've built a culture on trying to get around things. Well, isn't that everything? We always try to get around it. You know, in fairness to me and to your listener, in 1998 I lost that first punt.
Starting point is 00:19:38 When I was 167, I got down to 137. I was on what is now banned, metabolife. I took those pills. Right. I remember those, yeah. And I didn't exercise at all. I was like, well, exactly what you just said. I'm gonna go around this. I'm not gonna do the easy way of running or exercise.
Starting point is 00:19:52 I'm gonna take this magic pill. And it worked. Granted, I was on basically cocaine for three months of my life. Well, the hard way is running, and that's the tough part, but that's the part that you need, because the, you know, hey, this is chocolate, but it's dietetic. It's like, no, you need to not eat chocolate.
Starting point is 00:20:11 Or just eat a little bit, run a little bit more. Well, that's the problem. Eating a little bit is the magic. Like, to this day, I can't eat one piece of pizza. I'm going to eat the other nine, but I'm going to go and run, you know, the next morning and get it off my body. Are you looking for your next case?

Yeah, I had, there's nothing worse than the taking in the calories and not enjoying the calories feeling like tell me if you've ever
Starting point is 00:21:07 done this this drives me insane i've had it happen a few times in my life you'll go all right i'm gonna have a nice piece of apple pie i'm gonna put it in the microwave i'll drizzle a little water on it with my finger a bit like the pope you know like i'll anoint this pie with a little shot. The other thing where I put my hand under the spigot, I get a little and I do that. Yeah, I now dub thee Sir Warmth of Pippin'. And I, you know, do that, and then, you know, microwave 22 seconds, because I'm efficient. You know what I mean? I don't go down for the zero.
Starting point is 00:21:37 And thing comes out, I take my first bite, and the fucking phone rings. And then I go, oh, that's my mom. And I don't know about, you know, or whoever. And I go, yeah, how you doing? And I'm looking at the pie. And I'm talking, yeah, and then I go that's my mom Or whoever and I go yeah, how you doing and I'm looking at the pie and I'm talking again And then they draw you into something. I don't know what her problem is you can't listen Yeah, all right. I'm gonna see if I can I'm gonna now she's blabbing I'm gonna get a bite in you know and next you know you hang up the phone you're gonna
Starting point is 00:21:59 I'm gonna eat that pie you look and it's gone And you know I ate the fucking pie That was 12 minutes of my fucking life. I ate the fucking pie. Yeah, yeah. It was the worst. It was the second of it. Twelve minutes of my fucking life I have a pie in me now. Yeah, yeah. And I was just talking to my mom the whole time about her fucking friend Bertha. And I'm fucking pissed.
Starting point is 00:22:14 I got nothing here. That is wildly unsatisfying. I did that. I did a mangreia. That's my signature drink. I did my mangria tasting, signing, bottle, whatever, and I was racing a car and I was doing a show that night and I was blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, and some guy brought some pizzas over.
Starting point is 00:22:36 But I didn't have any time to eat. What I did was I stood up, I took pictures, I signed mangria bottles and in between I'd lean over and take a bite of pizza. I looked down, ate five pieces of pizza pizza I've no recollection of it right fucking the worst calories I've ever received. The other day I had a piece of cheesecake and it was like you know what I'm gonna have dessert today I'm gonna have a piece of cheesecake and you know what it wasn't good cheesecake but I ate the entire thing so
Starting point is 00:22:59 like I was almost like I was chasing the dragon of trying to remember a time I enjoyed cheesecake right right the whole goddamn thing, this will be good. And then afterwards, like, I just ate an entire cheesecake and it wasn't satisfying. Well, the thing, the portion thing, that is something that is, that is, along with some form of exercise that you can tolerate. But I will say this about the portion thing. That is something that is sort of overlooked. I mean, I know, you know, dietitians and stuff bring it up, but we get a lot into what you're eating and easy on the carbs and blah, blah, blah.
Starting point is 00:23:33 You can sort of eat whatever you want, but don't gorge, go small. And if you think about it and do think about this, like. When you order out and you get some Chinese food you know you can taste it already you know and you're gonna get the shrimp and the pork fried rice and all that kind of shit and you do yourself up a plate of it and you'll always you always you're kind of your little extra generous with it and you sit down and you eat it and then you go alright and I'm gonna get a little more of that sesame chicken. But if you just stop at that point right there,
Starting point is 00:24:06 you go, you know what, I ate dinner. That was dinner. I'm full, I am. But I want some more of that sesame chicken, but that's the point, just stop then. You did it, you ate, you piled it on, and now you're done. And the sesame chicken's sitting over on the island over there, four feet away, leave it alone.
Starting point is 00:24:23 Yeah, you know, I'm very guilty of that. If you if you whatever you put in front of me, I'm going to eat it. If you give me a large popcorn, I will eat it till it's gone. But if you give me a small, I'm happy with that. Right. And that's that finish whatever's there because I'm addictive to whatever that's just well, did you grow up without or yeah, I think so. I think a push came to shove. I would say that. I grew up desperate and thus I am, you know, the toughest thing for me, Drew, you go, we'll talk about your HLN for a second. I know they're going to pull me back out of here. Oh, shut up.
Starting point is 00:24:55 Don't complain. What's going on? Is something breaking? What's breaking? Nothing's breaking. That's why I'm here. Of course nothing's breaking. That's why I never-
Starting point is 00:25:03 There's something breaking, but I have nothing to say about it. Can you get the city? Can you get the city that's breaking in? Never show up. What's breaking? Is it Phoenix? Is it Cleveland? Is it Oklahoma? Phoenix.
Starting point is 00:25:11 It's Phoenix. So nothing. Oh, it's a Jodie Arias thing? Of course. Oh, okay. Listen, there's going to be a... This should be a class action lawsuit against all men who she hasn't killed who said, look, you've destroyed my life, you've ruined my marriage.
Starting point is 00:25:24 My wife, we used to have, we were partners, we weren't, and then she got tied up in your thing and started eating grapes and watching Mammy Flies. Hey, so what the fuck were we talking about? I will address it with this answer. I had a real brother and at the time I had three step brothers and the five of us would go out and we would get a large pizza and then Basically you would have to fight for whatever pizza you were at So now if I get a pizza, I'm eating the whole goddamn thing. Yeah, like so it is that it's as a kid I could have three now. I'm gonna have it all I grew up
Starting point is 00:25:55 Desperate and desperate and deprived deprived And you had to eat pine cones and I was super hungry I was super hungry all time in a crazy appetite and ran around all eat pinecones. And I was super hungry. I was super hungry all the time. I had a crazy appetite and I ran around all the time. But here's how I am. You've done this. You go, Drew, you tell me how you would do with this. You go and you play Squanto's Retreat Connecticut. You're doing Atlantic City.
Starting point is 00:26:19 You're doing one of these casinos. And when you walk in, they give you casino bucks. And it's this, it's comical because it's me, Mike August and Mike Lynch. And these are the three dudes on the planet who can't throw away anything. And they're not hoarders, but they're like me. Now I got 300 bucks worth of casino bucks. And they each get 100 bucks as the guys to travel with me. Now we have 500 dollars worth of casino bucks but it's 6 in the evening, the show's at 9 at night and we're meeting at the lobby at 5 a.m. to go to the Philly airport and get
Starting point is 00:26:57 the hell out of there. So now we got 500 bucks worth of casino bucks, cannot be used for tipping, cannot be used for gambling. And you can't just go buy yourself a sweater at the golf shop. And with casino bucks, you have to use it. So now they have a P.F. Chang's. So now we go in there. And we got in my mind, we have to order $500 worth of fucking food. I'm not leaving 250. Now, I don't if I could give our waitress a $250 tip. never think about it again.
Starting point is 00:27:27 But the idea that this money's going back down the drain or whatever it is. Then Mike orders a whole bunch of like, shrimp fried rice and noodles and stuff and I'm pissed. Don't bulk up on the carbs. You're fucking wasting money on the carbs. Get stuff with lobster in it and stuff. It's more expensive and it's protein, it's blah, blah, blah. Then I go, look, you order a cocktail, whatever comes in a pineapple,
Starting point is 00:27:51 I want it to come in a virgin. That's how expensive I want that. Then we're sitting there and a couple of drinks come over. It's like, that's from the table over there. They're big fans. Like, no. We don't want theirs. We don't want theirs.
Starting point is 00:28:03 This is out of Curb Your Enthusiasm enthusiasm right like I don't want their drinks in there like well sure it'd be insulting no no no you don't get it for admission buying them a drink I'm buying there you go where there's a great move because the are dim-witted waitress points at the guy in the red sweater and says it's that couple but it's the other guy in the red sweater that's two feet away that's that couple and she just sort of vaguely points in that direction doesn't say it's not them it's them too. Then that couple gets up and walks into the dining room and I follow them but it's the wrong couple and I'm explaining I don't want their drink and they have no idea what I'm talking about. Brutal. So so eventually I find the
Starting point is 00:28:43 couple and I'm like I'm sending you over a drink and and I do not want your drink And they're like well we closed out our tab and we're leaving now. No, you know you're not you're sitting down drink this drink We'll drink that get a fault do a butt funnel your butt chug this shit on you you're doing it I don't care. I'm gonna your sobriety have sweetheart crying River You're getting a Don Julio and and that's how I'm wired Like I got to you guys wired that way a Little bit. I'm that way with a lot of things though cuz I you know, I'm desperate for food Well, I was you know, that was the screws were put to me on everything remember but food food not so much around
Starting point is 00:29:19 Yeah, it was around when you're a kid Yeah, there wasn't that desperation for food But I but there was that well if if we and if we have $100 to spend, you're going to spend and you're going to eat it. You would never leave anything on the table. Oh, my God. I mean, it's insane, right, when you see people just sort of leaving three ribs on a plate. No, they're there.
Starting point is 00:29:38 What are you doing? What are you doing? Fitters those up. Cow, pig gave its life for that thing. Go get them. I can't take the waste cosmically It's not even the the financial part of it. I just it and in a weird way I wish I wasn't the way I am on the other hand
Starting point is 00:29:54 I wish other people weren't the way they are like I I walked It happens to me all the time. I I shot a TV pilot last week I of course was the last person on the set because well, you know Why shouldn't I be I ain't setting the shit up? but I walked we're filming in a house and I walked into this house at noon everyone else had been there since 8 in the morning and Grips and tech guys and camera guys and there are 80 people buzzing around that place and I just walked into the the back door And I looked up Porchlight was on and I just walked into the back door and I looked up and the porch light was on.
Starting point is 00:30:26 And I just looked up and I went, why is this on? And then I said, huh? I said, why is the porch light on? And it was like, you know, it was last week, it was 104 degrees and the sun was overhead. It was like, no, no, no, I don't know. I said, well, shut it off and shut the switch off. And I realized 80 people walked in and out of that place. Nobody went, why is that light? I used to show up last to the man show?
Starting point is 00:30:47 it was a two-story building there are a hundred people working in it the porch light would be on and The receptionist would walk past it and open the place everyone who walked in would walk right past there's one door And you have to walk past the light bulb that's lit up While the sun's out and I would give long-winded speech and everyone's like, how do all of you walk past this light that's a little bit, the switches, as soon as you walk in the door, the switch is right there. It's like walk in sitting right there. How come?
Starting point is 00:31:13 And everyone's like, I don't know. I didn't know it was on. It's like, well you see it. No, I didn't. It's like it's literally a light bulb. Listen, you're talking to a guy where, you know, I go to therapy every Tuesday and talk about why can't people do everything the way I do it. That's Adam's therapy.
Starting point is 00:31:28 Is it really? Is that the same thing? It's like, why do you leave your locker door open? Close the locker door at the gym. Why is it open, you animal? Why are you parking next to my car when every other spot is available? Why do you need to park right next to me? Do things the way I do it!

Guy totally naked. I just will demonstrate.
Starting point is 00:33:17 So he's shaving in front of the mirror. He's nude. He's nude. No towel around. No towel around. The 40-something-year-old dude, completely naked. He's going to shave. He just took a steam bath or whatever.
Starting point is 00:33:28 And here's... I will use that stool over there as the countertop and tell you exactly what he was doing. You narrate. You're correct. All right. Adam's walking over to the stool. Mirror. Mirror.
Starting point is 00:33:40 He got the mirror. Countertop. That's the countertop. Oh, we're taking a picture of this. Nude. No. No. Nude. Oh, we're taking a picture of this. No, no. Oh, that's nice. He has one foot up on the countertop, shaving in front of the mirror, with his testicles dragging on the floor. Dude, ball's hanging. Testicles on the floor.
Starting point is 00:33:56 But perfect model for our new ball sack air freshener for the car. Perfect model for that. Just put in the middle sink. Why is that allowed why would that I don't know it's not only why is it allowed but I have two reactions for that guy and it's the same reaction every time first is I want you put on a mountain and eaten by crows I want your same yes good news is you don't have to change for this one I'm gonna cover you with honey I I'm gonna put you on top of a mountain
Starting point is 00:34:25 I'll stake you down and I'll fucking have crows just peck you to there's nothing left of you like that's first is that Second is I worship at your altar. I want one ounce of this. How do you? Where does this come from? I want to be you Damn comfortable not range it where those from? Not a care in the world. Strangely enough. I'm the guy who was in the bathroom stall moments earlier taking a shit but putting the seat back up so the next guy didn't think I took it.
Starting point is 00:34:53 Doesn't think it's me. Damn it. That's me every bath. If I go to an airplane bathroom, same deal. Wait, wait, wait. There's something here about being a comedian. Oh yeah. Something in here.
Starting point is 00:35:01 I guess. Something deep in this. You're probably right. Desperation for food, the feeling less than, the mom that's inattentive, and then the people around them that seem not to comply with your version of the world. The people that have the huevos, the huevos to act out the way you wish you could. Not even think about it. Leave the locker doors open.
Starting point is 00:35:21 The toilet seats down. Don't leave the light on in the bathroom when it stinks. Yeah. Fan going. Yeah. What kind of world do we live in? It's maniacs everywhere. I think it's people are lost in their own narcissistic world.
Starting point is 00:35:35 And it's up to you guys to bring it out. Just do not care. To tell us about it. You as a guy, with some sort of degree, and I don't know exactly what it is. Board certified physician, Dictionary Medicine Specialist. Again, I don't know exactly what it is board certified physician Again I don't know what doesn't that mean for television I don't know so I bail on it and panic if you're at the gym drew Yeah, and it's there's nobody in the gym. It's just me and you see me at a locker. Yeah, okay
Starting point is 00:35:58 I'm putting my stuff in that locker I'm gonna say nine out of nine times the next person will come in the the entire locker room is empty, they will use the locker next to me. Why is that? Why is that? As a guy that understands the brain, you don't know. That is the one I... Because I go the other way. I go a million miles away.
Starting point is 00:36:16 Me too. Right. So why does that person come right next to you? There's patterns to what humans do in group and it's just what they do. It's just wired into our social souls. The other one I don't... A lot of things don't make sense, so we do. That one I don't get.
Starting point is 00:36:31 There's this one, which just drives me absolutely insane. Jimmy Pardo, I'm sure, is gonna drive you nuts too. The guys who, you know, the ketchup has the snap top on it. The mayonnaise has the snap top. It literally, they went, look, people are so pathetic and so lethargic that they will not, and so uncaring of others, that they will literally use the mayonnaise that's in the company fridge or whatever,
Starting point is 00:36:59 or the ketchup, and not put the lid back on it. We're such animals, I'll tell you what, we'll do a snap lid. It'll be attached to the ketchup bottle. It can never get set aside, lost or anything. And with one flip of the thumb, it's going to snap shut. When the guy who invented that, when the guy who invented that thought about it, he must have went, well, this is put an end to dried ketchup forever. This will never, it's impossible. Escapies from mental institutions will be the only people that can snap it shut. And now every fridge I open, it's popped open and you realize, oh my God, we're animals. Hold on a second, I'll tell
Starting point is 00:37:38 you who's not an animal. Audible, baby, audible.com.

That's audiblepodcast.com forward slash Adam Drew Show and you get a free audiobook. You can check it out for free audible there, but all right. Yeah, so Jimmy, you're with me and us on this one where you just, you cannot believe what human beings do. I want everybody to do everything the way that I do it. Well, I do. Well, no, no, no, no, listen.
Starting point is 00:39:02 Wanting them to and then being incensed or weirded out by how they actually are two different things. You're more on the, I can't believe how people are. No, I do. I mean, I go to- You wish they'd be more like you, but you don't need them to be like you the way Jimmy does. Well, it's not, but see, here's what I try to do, and Jimmy, you tell me if you get into
Starting point is 00:39:20 this sometimes with your wife, sometimes with coworkers and things like that, and then society. There's a movement that's been afoot for a long time, which is, hey man, that's your opinion. Hey man, I have my way. Hey man, that's your way. No, no, it's not my way, it's the way. It's the fucking way you're supposed to do it. Everybody, every endeavor is like, hey, when you swing a golf club,
Starting point is 00:39:49 the golf pro says, keep your head down. Don't pull your head out. Hey man, I pull my head out. No, that's not the way you correctly hit a golf ball. When you drive on a racetrack, you go wide, you hit the apex of the turn, you exit without scrubbing off too much. That's what they, that's how it's done.
Starting point is 00:40:04 It's not, hey man, this is how, we've turned this thing into let that individual fuck up the way they fuck things up. No, there's ketchup, other people use it, you snap the lid down. Now, if you purchase the ketchup and you live in a bachelor apartment with you and your ketchup, then you're allowed to do whatever you like
Starting point is 00:40:24 with your ketchup. I imagine because you're paying for it, you would snap the lid down. But once the ketchup becomes public property, you have to snap the lid down. It's not, oh, that's the way Jimmy likes it. No, that's the way it's meant to be. That's for the product. You don't put fucking milk on the roof of your building. You put it in the fucking refrigerator,
Starting point is 00:40:45 because then it doesn't spoil. It's not, hey man, this is where I keep my milk. No, this is it. I like this Dennis Miller character you're doing for this guy. Hey man. It's a little Sammy Davis. It is Sammy too.
Starting point is 00:40:54 But I feel, we have a lot, and I've talked to my therapists in the past where they go, look, if you want the ketchup whatevered, or if you do it yourself, and I'm like, well, that's the day I get divorced. That's the day I fire the person. That's the day because if I'm doing this, that and making sure the fucking ketchup is shut, I don't need then that person's gone. That's my thing. It's not up to me. It's not as I will tell them this there's a there's an overarching theme here, which is Marriage boils down to your utility see well, there's certain you're useful to me or you're not now. It's not useful to me. Oh
Starting point is 00:41:34 To the home are you saying useful to the home? Well, there is a there's a picture and There's a you know, there's a picture which is it needs to be painted by many brushes Turn into Maya Angelou over there too. Hey, man No, there's a part where I'm gonna go hit the road every weekend and come home with a sack of money He's a part of part And then there's the part where I'm gonna buy the ketchup with that money and then part of your job is to make sure the Ketchup doesn't go bad. And it's a kind of circle of life here, you know.
Starting point is 00:42:07 But if the ketchup's going bad and I'm bringing home the money to buy the ketchup, then we have a little problem in our chain, so to speak. You know what I'm saying? That's, you know, that's, we'll work it together. We'll also vacation together and have fun together. But there's this aspect of it that needs to be sort of taken care of I'm gonna rely on you for certain parts of that you'll rely on me for other parts of it and that's the way we'll that's the way we're gonna roll don't Drew you have that right yeah yeah your wife makes your travel plans yeah
Starting point is 00:42:35 no you need to be have a supportive well you you your wife does travel yeah she does it well yeah and you travel a lot yep and if those plans involve you showing up at the Avis counter and they're going, we have no record of your reservation, sir, and you're going, I've got to be at the theater in an hour to do it. You would immediately start going, this fucking chain is getting fucked up because I'm going out on the road and I'm bringing home the money and I just found out that my flight,
Starting point is 00:43:02 I wasn't on this flight. But you booked and blah, blah, blah. Who wants your partner to be a participant to purchase a support a supportive player and then when you got home from said trip you would be definitely within your whatever to say hey yeah I needed that rental car you dropped the ball on that you'd wait till you got home you wouldn't make that phone call from there well I'm just saying whenever I talked to one of my main Gria things fell off the wall but we're ironing them on we're just tamping them up but one of my man, Gria, things fell off the wall, but we're ironing them on. We're just tamping them up. But one of what I'm saying is whenever I bring this
Starting point is 00:43:29 topic up, Drew goes, Oh, everyone's got to do things your way. And it's some sort of whatever. And I'm like, no, it's not. It's you make the travel plans, all do the roadwork and it'll be symbiotic. But if you start fucking up, and by the way, if I start, start fucking up the roadwork, we're gonna be in trouble too. You're saying you're a team? That's what I like. Yeah. The team, yes. You know, I've had more problems in the past
Starting point is 00:43:53 with roommates than with my wife and I. Oh, roommates are. Roommates are. They're the fucking worst. I was thinking about this today, I don't know if it necessarily applies, but it kind of fits in about wanting things your way. I had roommates, I lived in Pasadena back in the mid 80s
Starting point is 00:44:05 and I had a couple of roommates and I did this scene in front of, one of their mothers was visiting. I went and bought an entertainment center, the shelving unit for television, that sort of thing. And I bought it and I put it together and it was like, you know, I'm 18, 19 years old and I was so, you know, I spent 75 bucks,
Starting point is 00:44:20 I put it together and I wanted it on one wall. And they were, listen, in retrospect, they were right, it should have been on the wall They all said but I remember I made this I bought the fucking thing it goes on a fucking wall I want yeah as this little Asian woman's looking at me like why's this guy going effing crazy? Yeah, and it was like but that was it's gonna be my way It's gonna be I bought it you assholes, so I'm putting the shelf where I want it Hmm and again worse than here we are 25 years ago
Starting point is 00:44:43 where I want it and again worse than here we are twenty nine years ago some will is the same same well if the same same note no no no couple things you would have built the shelf yourself i or and i would put it on the right wall but that's but uh...
Starting point is 00:45:00 but i did no i do feel that well roommates are horrible you're right I've had horrible ones and a roommate is where everyone kind of shows their true colors You know I had the I had the roommate that got the master suite in the house We were renting with the bathroom and the extra square footage And I was in the you know Hitler's bunker in the back with the no bathroom and you sharing the bathroom with the other roommate and stuff and the deal was it's $1,500 rent we're all gonna pay 500 and your job is just to mow the lawn and skim the pool once a week to get the master suite how fast did that lawn get up to here and that
Starting point is 00:45:38 pool turn into a swamp we're gonna have right that's right and and if you reminded the person of it or you talked about it or you went and did it in front of them? You're the asshole. That's right. Is that what you're going to say? All of a sudden I look at Adam. Shame me. He's got to shame me. Right. Right. But no, do your job. Well, do whatever was agreed on to have this. I used to think every time I would vacuum, this back in Pasadena, I had a roommate when I moved out here in the 90s who was a great guy. But these guys I would vacuum and they would, I was like, just vacuum you assholes. Why am I the guy doing this every week?
Starting point is 00:46:10 The thing that would be great, the thing that I was insane about people and roommates and stuff like that is I would be vacuuming and they'd be like, hey man, we're watching Miami Vice actually, not the box set, it's actually on. It was on. But they'd be like, hey man, and it it's like really you're giving me the hey, man Yes, I'm the asshole cuz I got the Hoover fired up, and you're just walking around and filled yes fucking believable what people will do now When you go to the gym mm-hmm you only have to deal with that asshole in a very part-time
Starting point is 00:46:41 Nominal basis you know but when you're living with that individual, now we have a whole different kettle of fish here. All right, should we take some phone calls? Yes, I'm fascinated by line five. He's in Romania. Wow, line five in Romania. Hey, Nick? Yeah, get it on.
Starting point is 00:47:01 What's going on? You're in the Peace Corps over there, huh? Yeah, get it on what's going on you're in the Peace Corps over there, huh? Yeah, I have tell you guys um I will keep this short. I know some people like to rant, but um I've been listening to you guys since like These sixth grade listen to all the Corolla digital shows you guys keep me saying over here Thank you, so I keep keep doing what you guys are doing we shall Nick What do you... Now, what time is it over there?
Starting point is 00:47:28 It is 9.56 p.m. Yeah, 10 o'clock. All right. And what is your question? And what are you doing over there in the Peace Corps? I am an English teacher. I teach at a pretty low-level high school. Low-level meaning what?
Starting point is 00:47:43 Meaning I'm in a industrial city and I have a lot of pretty low-level students that have parents that live abroad and a lot of really messed up family situations from listening to Love Line for a whole lot of time. I think Skype's getting weird. Can you guys riddle me this? I was just watching TV last night drinking drinking my mangrove, eating some grapes, watching Tubbs and Crockett. And I just showed an image of a satellite just flying over the planet.
Starting point is 00:48:19 And I thought, yeah, man, that's amazing. Things going 17,000 miles an hour and it's orbiting twice a day or whatever it is and we're shooting stuff up to it and it's beaming stuff over there, blah, blah, blah. And then I thought, yeah, man, 2013. And then I went and pictured like parts of Africa and our foreign stuff like the Middle East, the sectarian violence, stuff like that.
Starting point is 00:48:41 And I went, what year is it again? Like, what, are we living in two different years? Like you know when you're a kid it was like the future you know like we will have devices that can communicate. Like you know when you were in junior high someone said I'm going to hand you a thing the size of your wallet you can talk into it it'll go up to something in outer space and then beam it to another friend of your where are you in Chicago this guy could be in Boston or LA or Romania and then you could type in a little see it you know same device bring a picture take a picture your girlfriend's boobies and what's that satellite film do that was no no film no but like you know like all right and then I'll show you some footage in the
Starting point is 00:49:18 Middle East like at the same time here like it just guys in bathrobes and sandals like throwing rocks at each other. And you'd be like, hold on, I thought it was the future. Like, now this is, but what time has this taken place? Oh no, same time, same place. And you're like, which is it? Where are we? I feel like it's getting worse. Like certain things are actually either the same
Starting point is 00:49:42 or worse than they were. And then meanwhile, I'm talking into my shoe and there's an app on my phone that's going to tell me where the closest restaurant is that has the food that I want. And then how mad do you get when that app doesn't load as quickly as you want it to? It's been eight seconds. What's going on? Yes. But I mean, the fucking technology, un-damn-believable, mixed with I'm gonna throw a rock.
Starting point is 00:50:07 Yeah, but the hard part to reconcile is the guys that are wearing the robes and throwing the rocks, also with the cell phone in hand, and also using it in sophisticated ways. That would be the part where you go, well, if only we could get these guys that device. We wouldn't know what to call it, Drew. We wouldn't have a name for it back then.
Starting point is 00:50:23 Transporter, whatever. Just called the device. The thing. You go, oh, well, if they could take pictures of their girlfriends' boobies and then send them to their friends. They'd be more relaxed. Yeah. Now, say, what's up? I want to know what's going on because this is not, there's no, there's nobody who wrote about the future that did both, which is, you know. 1100 AD and 2013 AD. Right. Logan's run was Logan's run was Logan's run.
Starting point is 00:50:50 Everywhere. Everywhere. The world. The worldwide. The year is 1999. Yeah. I saw that one. And we're all looking at Farrah Fawkes.
Starting point is 00:50:57 At least 1981 now. You really think this is going to? We're going to get people to kill people over the age of 30? 34? That fast? We? That fast? We've been arguing over building a power plant for the last 20 years. You think we're going to get this one passed through Congress? All right.
Starting point is 00:51:12 I love that. All right. Where were we? It is weird that this is simultaneously going on, right? Yeah. Nick? Yeah? Nick, you might experience Romanian people.
Starting point is 00:51:22 They tend to be very smart. Is that true? Is that your experience over there? At least the ones over here. Well, I think your experience with Romanians might have been the ones that had the opportunity to leave Romania and make a city and I just get to meet you. We're cherry picking. Yeah, I got it. Okay, so what's going on? You've got the ones that are picking cherries.
Starting point is 00:51:37 What's your question? Strangely. Ironically. Ironically. Those are the ones that step flat behind. Yeah. I wanted the, and then Dr. Drew's kind of take on the juxtaposition between a relationship that is really strong, the relationship wise, emotionally and such. I've been with my girlfriend for about two years now. Really hit it off really well. But physical aspect is not too great.
Starting point is 00:52:03 Don't want to get too into it, but you, but I'm a pretty big guy, let's leave it at that, and she is not so big in the corresponding part. Thus, the physical aspect is not too great. So I just wanted to get you guys to pay me on that. Yeah, but plenty of people have anatomic mismatches, but sort of figure it out and work it out. So there's got to be something kind of more going on here. Is that so painful for her or is it she's just not sort of willing to work things out? I just put it on hold because his phone is driving me nuts. But you know, lube, lube and more lube. But Drew, there are such a thing as using sort of gradual size enlargement
Starting point is 00:52:42 whatever to work on a certain aspect of one's anatomy. But there are certain mismatches that are just painful. And you ain't going to overcome that very well. We get way more complaints about too big than too small. And that sometimes, but usually you let her control things. But he may have certain preferences. And if she's not sort of willing to talk about it and work on it, she's a type. This is the kind of thing where you're talking about anatomy, but it's really about attitude.
Starting point is 00:53:08 Well it's about anatomy and sometimes that's just not over to be overcome, but you have to work at it. And if somebody's not willing to sort of- But even if there's a gross mismatch there, which I wish I'd run into just once, just to say, okay, why do we have to break up? Tearing her apart. Cock was a weapon. Just physical. That was great. Deer, sweet Tearing her apart. Cock is a weapon.
Starting point is 00:53:26 That's great. Dear. Sweet. Wish it could have worked. Love your parents. Just one versus the Are you in? I'm done. But, you know, between the lube that is available now and I'm sure
Starting point is 00:53:42 Romania is some form of lard, but either way it's there. And sort of positions and attitudes and stuff like that you can work on. Yeah. All right. Let's see. But if there's some preference, either attitude or preference that he has that she doesn't, this can be important to deal breakers.
Starting point is 00:54:00 Not to be ignored. Tawana, 42, from Florida. Let's see. Hello? Hello. Yes. to want not to be ignored to one of forty two from florida c hello question about scoliosis okay mark my son is twenty one and he was going to start a new system chin hospital try to do surgery on him
Starting point is 00:54:20 and they do a good job because he's he's still he can't he was walking it first When they did the surgery now, he can't walk he can't eat He have to use some kind of tool to put in his mouth It's up the saliva out because we can have a lot of saliva in his mouth is all it's gonna choke him He have to lay down to play his video game all the time. He can't eat. He can't walk nothing
Starting point is 00:54:45 Okay, so Again, what year is it? So he had surgery at what age? At the age of 15. For scoliosis? Yes, sir.

Okay, there's something, there's something significant, overriding severe. Wait, now hold on a second. Scoliosis is not going to cause all of this. No.
Starting point is 00:55:59 Scoliosis is the curvature of the spine. Yeah, it's just a curve, but it can be severe where you have pulmonary problems and you can't move around at all. But this is much, much, this is like something way, way worse going on. Muscular disrepair. Is this bogus? Is this a bogus call? No, it's not bogus.
Starting point is 00:56:13 I think that's a racist thought. It's just ridiculous. I can't take it no more. I can't just see him just laying there. What is his, you haven't told me what his diagnosis is. I'm saying this is bogus. No, no way. Excuse me?
Starting point is 00:56:28 No, no, no, no way. Tawana, I don't get it. Your mom, you take them to the doctor, you talk to her in the hospital, what do they tell you is wrong other than scoliosis? That's all they're telling me that's wrong with you. What about the glaucoma part? They say they don't know, they don't want to do surgery, they don't want to take him back under surgery or whatever. I don't know what to do.
Starting point is 00:56:50 I really don't know what to do. Just keep putting me around. What are you doing? What do you do for a living? Just take care of my kids. That's it? How many kids you have? I have two.

No, sir. Yeah, I wouldn't be there
Starting point is 00:58:00 Sounds like no bad bad deal. All right. Listen, you have to take I'll tell you what I want you to do. You speak to a doctor and bring something to write on. Write down everything, all his diagnoses. And then call us back. I'll go look at all the diagnoses he has. Or travel with a scribe. And then also say, why can't I get some more services for him to try to make him independent or something where we can

Yeah, I need Drew to answer me. Why does the guy take the locker next to me? I got a real problems. I'm bitch about a guy that What the F is the man that was horrible there's lots of people living like that poor Tawana, it's awful life, you know, it's heart breaking Yes, that's right Listen, we you know the four seasons on top of the mirage

Starting point is 01:00:35 else. All right. Last question. Line one, poor Michael's been on hold for a long time, 30 from Indianapolis. You're getting your daughter's tonsils removed. She's only four. Yeah, she, well first off, Craig Jimmy Pardo everybody. Glad to be joining the show. Oh, thanks Ben. Nice to see you Mike. So she's four years old like he said. She's had three strep-positive swabs in two and a half months. So we go to visit the ENT and of course he says, take them out. Wait, hold second. Why are you saying that in a very paranoid way? Four infections buys you a tonsillectomy. That's it.
Starting point is 01:01:18 Is that what that does? Yeah. So that's just... I'm sorry, say that again? Four strep infections requires a tonsillectomy. She's had three in two and a half months. Yeah, maybe it's the speed at which they've happened, but four, you definitely get a tonsillectomy, for sure.
Starting point is 01:01:32 Right. You can get a second opinion. Drew, are we finding out anything about tonsils? I have my tonsils. Me too. I've had some horrific sore throats in my life, but now I seem to be impervious to disease. I'm only affected by abscess.
Starting point is 01:01:47 Tonsillitis, the kids are getting repeatedly, usually have very large tonsils that get super infections in them. And it can be actually kind of dangerous. You get abscesses and it can be a big mess. And the surgery is no big deal. I had mine taken out when I was 30, and I wish I would have had them taken out when I was four. Wow, that's right. Because it was a life of hell. That's right. People that need them out.
Starting point is 01:02:02 Desperate to lose weight. I wanted to eat jello for a week. People that need them out, need them out. And if it happens in adulthood, it's much easier in childhood, but I've certainly sent many adults for this procedure, and are like Jimmy, very, very willing. I wish I could have done it when I was four. I'm not saying do it or not do it for your daughter. I'm saying get a second opinion if you want, but follow direction.
Starting point is 01:02:21 They're not just randomly recommending surgery. I'm happy to be the second opinion. I think, as you have it down. I had this thought. What about, it just popped up, last thought of the day. Remember when you're a kid and they do this on episodes of TV sitcoms and things like that, it's like so and so has got their tonsils out, but they got to eat ice cream. Yeah, yeah. Remember they got to eat ice cream. Now, I feel like if I said to kids today, hey, you get to eat ice cream for two days a year, they'd go, I got a fucking soft swirl machine in my bedroom.
Starting point is 01:02:52 So? What the fuck? Like, I said to my kids, you get to eat ice cream for three days in a row, they'd go, what the fuck do we care, old man? I'm eating ice cream right now. You're going to turn it yourself, dad? You get to eat ice cream. Now it's like who fucking cares, right? I mean, this stuff that used to be a treat,
Starting point is 01:03:11 like hey, you get a Coke after the Pop Warner football games. Now like I'm drinking one right now. I have a soda machine in the house.
