I came down here and the kids are on vacation so Sonny was going to come down here and help me do some building but as soon as Natalia found out that he might say hi on the air she wanted in as well. Is that right? Is that the story? Yeah that's it.

Okay. Also Drew you'd uh I what do you think of this? Now, I've said this before, but mommy got a bunch of books on parenting, you know? Watch out. Yeah. You guys are going to be in trouble. Any of them on grit? We like reading. Not too much for me. I'm good at math.

No, I think she's going to read them and daddy's going to use them to hit you. Now, huh? Yeah. Spank huh? Yeah. Spank. Spank. Wow. And you're not going to spank us because we're not bad. That's true.

You guys are very good kids. Do it with a mallet. Do it with a mallet. Tell Olga to do it. She's better at it. I will. I'll farm it out to her. Aye.

She's better at spanking? Oh my god, Keith. Yeah, she's better. She's better. Well, she's never. Has she ever spanked you? No, but she spank Yeah, she's better. She's better? Well, she's never... Has she ever spanked you? No, but she spanked her daughter Pola with...

Mm-hmm. With what? Um... A sickle. I don't know, but she spanked her. Alright. You guys never got spanked? No.

I know a new ringtone for me. We don't know what it looks... We don't know what it feels like, but I always ask her to spank me. Nice. It's good. I know a new ringtone for me yeah go to your stop it guys yeah that's good Natalia do you remember and Drew tell me what you think of this as a parent all right you know how when you get up on mommy and daddy's bed and you get running and you launch yourself at me and daddy catches you? Yeah. Okay, now do you remember when you're a little girl and you would keep saying daddy move

back, move back, move further back? Now Sonny, what would you say? You'd tell daddy to move up, get closer to the bed, right? It bed right too far If I knew I was same because I didn't know I was saying I would just instead of saying anything I would just roll you well. I don't know what you're saying now, but Natalia Natalia would say move back Yeah, and Natalia would go headfirst like Superman or Superwoman Wonder Woman right headfirst right? Right, but Natalia Natalia kept saying move back. And one day, a few years ago, she said move back. And I said, I'm already eight feet from the bed, and this is as far back as I can get.

Now, I got long arms and I can grab her, and we were pretty good. But she was at the end of her jumping range. And I told you to go to the closet and then I jumped. Hold on, I was at the end of my reaching range and she said move back more and I said well if I move back more I'm not going to be able to catch you and she said move it back and I said alright. And she collapsed into the ground.

And I moved back and she dove and she got nothing but carpet. Pow! What did you learn? I learned I'm never going to do that again. moved back and she dove and she got nothing but carpet. Yeah. Pow. Now, is that... What'd you learn? I learned I'm never going to do that again. Oh, see. Maybe we're too far.

Well, no. Everybody... I learned nothing. No, she's never going to tell me to move back that far. Oh, but she kept doing the action. Yeah, we kept doing it. Yeah, I want you to move back. I'm going to tell you to move back but not that far.

Right. So, a lesson was taught. By the way, why don't we do parenting shows with kids? I don't know. I think we should do parenting shows with them, giving us the feedback. Yeah, come on. And let's talk about these things.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't know what you're talking about. But here's what I'm saying. Now, most people think I'm a dirtbag for doing that to my daughter. No. No. They honestly do.

They go, because the bed is three foot off the ground. No, you've got to let people fall. They They shouldn't because I asked you to do it. Natalia, yeah, but you were three and a half years old. Yeah. Natalia went head. Touche. She gives you the, oh yeah. Now Natalia was, you know, she was four years old, but she did, she went head first.

She went Superman into the carpet. And when she got up, she didn't have a good look on her face. And she probably had a little road rash on her knee and her elbow, whatever. I knew it was carpet, it wasn't an alligator pit. And I knew she was going to eat crap and she might get a little scuff on her knee and her elbow. But this was going to be a good lesson. And then she sort of learned to quit telling Daddy to move back. Yeah, and then they went downstairs and told on you to Mom. Of course she did. Yeah, of course she ran down and told him. And then mom did the thing where she was like, what? What are you doing? And then she'd probably

have to look it up in one of her books. But to me, I'm teaching a very simple age-old lesson. Simple, simple lesson. Yes, I get it. Wait. Yes. Now. Finish your thought. She knew that daddy was an alligator Did she would go no I know you didn't know you know you know No, you know right and you learned a lesson and ever since then she doesn't have me stand back, but I will tell you this Drew yes, she has the thrill seeker gene. Right. To do.

Sunny doesn't have the thrill seeker gene. Sunny says move forward, and he jumps hips first. She jumps head first and tells me to move back. Now, the other thing that I started doing. Jumping is all my thing. Speed is my thing and basketball. Yeah, he's the second and a half fastest kid in the world. In the world.

Okay. Now, this guy asked him, don't you think it's a wild coincidence that the first two fastest kids are in your class? How weird is that? In the world. What a coincidence. In the world. He said, yeah.

Well, the first fastest is my best friend. And he happens to be his best friend. It's Tim Jackson. Incredible. I beat a fifth be his best friend. Incredible How fast did you go Race and so he raced against her and he came back first and then Her the girl was like still running running. Alright, he said no. No, no, no, no.

Actually, it's quite... Last year in kindergarten when I did track and field there was a fifth grader, okay? He was Devin. I raced him, I beat him. Okay, a fifth grader. No, you know what he said to me... By three feet! I don't know if you know this Drew, but this is what Sonny saidny said to me when I said what are the chances you two are going to the same

school and you're both the fastest kids on the planet in the same school and he pointed out that Chad Ocho-Sinco NFL great and Steve Smith NFL great both went to Santa Monica Junior College at the same time which is a true story I don't know how he knew that, but he threw that one right back in Pop's face. I was going easy on them. Okay, so listen. But I'm not that great at doing hurdles.

Natalia has a thrill-seeking gene, and Natalia, try to explain this. When you go on the bed and you get a run and you jump headfirst for daddy what did daddy start doing going back but what what was my trick daddy would play on you all the time I would jump he would catch me and he would go like, oh Molly girl, oh the phone's ringing. Right, so, sheer face. Your heart would flip. Her heart would flip.

So what she would do is she would get running down the bed, I had to time it just right, soon as she jumped off the bed, soon as she got to the point of no return, like one foot left the bed and she got in the air, I would turn 90 degrees and go, oh, Molly's in the room, and her face would go, ah! It was extreme terror, and I'd go, oh, the phone's ringing, and I'd start to take a step away. Now, I was good enough to immediately come back and grab her before she caught the carpet. It was closed.

But unfortunately, you were creating a deeper thrill and reinforcing this even more. Right. Then, Natalia. Then what happened? Then she needed you in the closet. Back over there. Yes. No.

This is after that. Then she said, after about three times of doing that to her, she started saying, don't do that daddy. It's too much. Promise you're not going to do that daddy, right? And he said promise. Yeah, and then I, he said promise and I was so like, okay, I'll go, no. But then, but then Natalia, what happened? Every time I said, don't do that. And you said OK.

And you promised me. I would feel like you would keep on doing it. And you tricked me. So I was like, OK, I'll go. And then I just run. And then you would slip. But I don't jump off the bed. And I'm like, no, nobody.

No, but then you started asking daddy to do it. To do the thrill. Do the thrill. Yeah. Yeah, because. Yeah. You started asking. And I started to do it. To do the thrill. Do the thrill. Yeah, you started asking. Then I started to like it. Yeah, now that's what you call a tell, Dr. Thrill. I want to like make it hard on myself. I like to make stuff. I know. Alright, you two, say goodbye to everybody. Take your

headphones off. We gotta go on and do the show. That's all. Wait one more. I said my time! Say goodbye to everybody and thank them. Bye bye. One more thing. One more thing. What?

It almost says my name on this. If it was two N's that would be my name. What? Just one more N, that would be my name. Oh, Sony. And Sony. He's pointing at his ear. Yeah, Sony. Yeah.

And if, um. All right, Natalia, that's good. If he had the O, the U, it would be the son. Good. That's good. These kids are smart. They spell better than daddy now and their math skills are better than mommy.

Because we went to school. Sonny passed mommy about four months ago. I don't pass anybody. You passed daddy. I'm a little better at math than daddy. No. Mommy. All right. All right, you guys. I know it's five times five. Stop talking, daddy.

What grade are they in first? They're just leaving first. All right. So Drew, you're going to be the first. I know it's five times five. Stop talking like that. What grade are they in first? They're just leaving first. Alright, so Drew. So here's the deal. I want to talk about this. No I didn't do it. There's a lot of talk about it. This is what's called an indicator. Let me just state it

just in case people are a little fuzzy on the fact. You have two people that came out onto this planet at the same time yeah twins one the boy is very squeamish and sheepish about jumping off that bed and you can kind of tell people that aren't you know you can tell people people who lead with their head aren't scared when we used to play football the guys who kind of try to run into each other sideways kind of turning away from it almost like when a wave is coming You know

You can tell a lot about a person by when you're standing in three feet of water and a wave is crashing on them The head first guys are the guys, you know, that's Laird Hamilton You know, he's he's he's going out. The guys recoil as if somehow the wave's gonna pat, you know, if they can sort of cover themselves, like the wave's gonna go around them or something. One of my sons, every one of his football pictures is him parallel to the ground, head into the tackle. Right. And now the reality is, if you're trying to get through a wave, going head first into

it is a safer way to get through it than to sort of turn your back to it. That gets you pummeled, knocked onto the shore. It's not all the time that way in sports and football, but she is wired to go completely headfirst Superman into me as far back as I can, and then he goes hip first straight up and I'm literally standing a foot and a half from the bed. Now once she got a little shot of the adrenaline, known as me pretending Molly was coming into the room and the fact that she could crash and burn, first she didn't like it, then she needed it.

Right. She got a little hooked on it. Almost the way people describe their first exposure to heroin. Yes, yes. I may be sick, I vomit it, then I couldn't do without it. Right, right. So the question is, this is an indicator. I mean, I just look at indicators.

Now, in wiring. Yeah, yeah. Well, first of all, clearly it's the environment. Clearly, everything is the environment. Well well we all see that the shows where little boys were told not to jump off of beds very far and little girls were told to go headfirst off the bed we've all noticed she has a doll she's attached to a doll all day the whole time she's been here and I would Lynette must have foisted that on her made her carry that doll around and wouldn't let to do

wouldn't let Sonny carry the doll. Of course, you shamed him whenever he touched the doll. I just want an apology from every asshole from the 70s, including my family, who was trying to fill my head with this fucking useless nonsense. I think it's how men ended up mistreating women in the 70s and 80s, because they thought they were just the same as men. You know what I mean? they thought they were just the same as men. Well, it is interesting that when it's not all right to hit a woman and it's not all right to hit someone who's in a wheelchair, but it is all right to hit a dude that's your size.

I mean, once the person becomes you, then it's kind of a fair fight. It's sort of weight divisions in boxing. We wouldn't put a heavyweight in with a flyweight, but once there's a constant thing which is flyweights are heavyweights or you are the same or everyone is equal or why not a woman, why shouldn't women fight in combat and stuff like that? Yeah, I would argue, not for us, but for some,

it probably makes putting hands on them a little easier if they're your equal Hey, it's Adam Kroll from the Adam Kroll the show bet online is the world's most trusted betting platform and your number one source for online betting from the earliest odds to in-game live betting bet online provides you with all the action and the ability to watch and bet on games as they happen With the largest selection of odds on everything from football, NBA, College basketball as well.

The way men, if men believe that, if they fully believe that, yeah. So here's what's interesting to me. So you have the thrill seeking gene in your daughter and you don't have it in the male. Not at all. Testosterone though, when it hits his blood, that's going to turn on some of that shit.

Then it's going to come on for him. Even though he's not wired that way, the testosterone is going on some of that shit. Then it's gonna come on for him. Even though he's not wired that way, the testosterone's gonna push him that way. To some degree. Although I was an insane thrill seeker as a young boy. And I don't, you know, we've talked a lot about my family and a lot about me and about my past and stuff like that. But one thing I don't know that you fully know about me is how obsessed I was in the thrill seeking department. Was that because you liked the thrill or just because you needed some stimulation because there was nothing going on in the home?

You're so neglected. You know what I'm saying? Well, at the time. You know, writing a use cycle is not thrill seeking. It's sort of an OCD, thrill seeking kind of a thing, but it's not leaping off the, you know, it's not what Ray would do, flying off a roof. Well, I'll tell you what I've, no, but I'll tell you what I've had and I've always sort of had this.

Oh, not always, but as a kid. And you're right. It subsided as I got older and busier and things started going on. There are a couple instances. There are a few things. One is I was sort of obsessed with like motocross BMX bicycles, right? And I would have little challenges and they would just sit out there and haunt me like Moby Dick. Moby Dick, if it was on asphalt in North Hollywood. If you weren't looking for the thrill, you were looking for the stimulation and the success.

I guess so. There's two or three things. There were three, there were four things that I needed to do. One is I needed to put a standard school bench. Remember the kind that had like the fiberglass top on them and kind of the metal bottom on them? Just a bench.

There's a weird beige. Yes. Everything. Yes, I know what you're talking about. Fiberglass ones. Yes. By the way, the color palette for LAUSD, everything was either this sort of puke gray beige or avocado. There was a peach version, like peach flesh colored.

Yeah, but it was flesh. It wasn't peach. It was like, it was puke flesh. I'm just saying, every school, it's such a weird thing. I don't think it's this way in Sweden. Every fucking school, well first off, my schools were the exact same color as prisons. Yeah. You know, just institutional gray, weird greens, weird peach fleshy, just everything was just a sort of color. There was no red, there was no vibrant, there's no yellow, there's no anything.

So I would stare at this bench. What color would you like your your skate flag? The this bench drew yes would sit I would I would put it in front of the black top Okay, and just on an endless field of black top and then my my grade school in sixth grade fifth grade was just black top No grass, of course so this is black top and I would approach it on my BMX bike and So I was just blacked out and I would approach it on my BMX bike and I could do this bunny hop move on my bike where I could pedal and hop up on a curb and keep pedaling, you know, just pull up the front, yank up the back. And I was good for 14, 15 inches. Did they have pegs on the BMX bikes then?

There was no peg to pull the back up with. You sort of do with your pedals probably. That's true. No? Do you pop a wheelie? Were there pegs on the side? I'm asking. How could you take your feet off your pedals and grab pegs on the back of the... No. We didn't use pegs. Although the peg... Interesting story with peg. I'm going to write that down,

remind me later. No, it's a bunny hop. You get going. Before there were ramps. Remember there were no handicap ramps on every curb. Now there's ramps. Before then there were ramps. Remember there were no handicap ramps on every curb? Yes. Now there's ramps. Before then there were just curbs. And the curbs were 10, 11 inches high. And you'd be pedaling down the street. You'd pull up the front, pop up the back, and keep pedaling.

And it was good. Like I said, if somebody put a log out in the street, you could hop over it. But the bench, that thing was about 16 inches high. And I wasn't so sure I could make that. And I did the math on it. But the bench, that thing was about 16 inches high and I wasn't so sure I could make that and I did the math on it. Here's how it was going to go. I would pull up the front, that would get past it. Then I would yank up the back, but if the back clipped it, I'd land on the asphalt. It would not be pretty because the front would clear, I would lean forward and pop the back up, but the back just clipped it, the back's coming over the top, and I'm going onto the asphalt with the bare knees and the elbows.

And I must with it for a long time, like I just stared at it, and stared at it, and stared at it. Eventually I did it. The other thing I had to do was do the same bench. I had to take the same bench, get up on my unicycle, do it long ways, get up on the unicycle and ride long ways down it and drop down the other side. Nice. Now, that was no problem.

Dropping down the other side was no problem. I could drop off of something that was up to three feet high on my unicycle with no problem. The problem was getting on the unicycle on the bench, because the bench was only about nine or 10 inches wide. And when you hop up on a unicycle, there's a little side to side. Your first pedal is not always straight. It's a little off, and then you straighten out.

And I did the math on that one too, which is if I hop up, start the first half pedal, go off to the edge. Now, meaning the bench is 8, 10 inches wide, which leaves me four or five inches on each side if I go to the edge. Now meaning the bench is 8-10 inches wide which leaves me four or five inches on each side if I go in the middle. When I hop up and start my first pedal, if my first pedal goes off the edge I'm not going to be in great shape for recovery. That one bothered me too. I spent a long time staring at that bench. Did you figure it out? Yeah, I eventually did that. When I graduated the sixth grade, there was a set of stairs at a church. There was across the street.

Crying out to you, calling out to you. Across the street from my Colfax Elementary School. And there was, I used to love riding and jumping the stairs. And if there are four or five stairs, no problem. But this is more like 10, 11 stairs. And this also had concrete on both side walls next to it. It's like a corridor. And I realized, oh, if I ate shit on that one, I was going into the wall, you know. And I remember it well because I'd been bothering me the whole

time that I didn't have the guts to do this. It was mocking me and eventually after graduating sixth grade, sort of my first-order business was to get on this bike and go eat shit on those stairs, which I promptly did. No elbow pads, no helmets, no anything of that kind. Just concrete stairs going down into a concrete corridor. It was outdoors but it was like a retaining wall on each side out onto the street And I just ate shit and that's what I did and the other one The last one was the Gelson's loading dock You guys can picture a loading dock tall behind a supermarket back in the day now

They're like fences around those things back in the day Somehow we didn't require fences or warning things. And that thing was 42 inches or whatever it was. It probably wasn't four feet, maybe a little over three feet. It's just concrete. And I had to ride off that thing on my bike. I had to. I had to.

It was going to drive me insane. Now, I've done flips off of chimneys into swimming pools where I had just almost little, I couldn't negotiate. I mean, oh, I had a chimney that was set back eight feet and then some concrete to clear and a skinny part of the pool and I need to do a flip. Oh, and I did it, but I stood up on that chimney for a long time. Now if I missed that one, I'd probably be brain dead, but it didn't matter. I needed to do it. I needed to do it and I did it all the time. And yeah you're probably right. Some of this

is pre puberty some of it is post puberty. But I needed this stuff. Just all day boost all that. Oh but but I'm saying I was insane with it before that. And now that I look back on it yes just an empty house filled with sort of black and white TVs and bad feelings. And I say TVs, I mean TV. Maybe that was the reason I needed my brain focused on something. I would literally have to create pain. It was almost like cutting on yourself because I was skinned up, fucked up all the time.

Interesting. You didn't have that thing. Now, Natalia's got the thrill gene. Sonny's a wuss and he's very soft and he's very nice. So it'll be interesting to see how that plays out. I don't foresee it. He seems like one of those he is who he is. But I think it always turns on a little bit with the testosterone. Oh yeah, yeah. And he'll want to play sports more and stuff like that.

I'm just assuming we can, I'm hoping we can just take her energy and steer it toward the light. He is one of these guys where, you know, if you say to him, Sonny, you must be the best boy in the world, he won't go, you know, all right, or thanks, Dad. He'll go, well, you must be the best dad in the world. Like, he literally will take time, twist it around, and put it back on you in a flight of wings. It's not even acknowledgement.

Like, he goes way out of his way to be friendly and complimentary. Nice. But we'll see. Speaking of testosterone, you know Ken Baker, the guy who's the news reporter, I think he's at E now. He had a pituitary tumor, a prolactin secreting pituitary tumor that caused him to have no testosterone until he was through his adolescence and young adulthood. They found the tumor, they removed it, and his testes turned on after his pituitary was fixed.

How old was he? He was like 24 or something like that. And he describes what that was like to going from like kind of interested girls to like not really understanding why his friends are so into it, kind of liking sports, but not really, you know, being like on into women and becoming a professional semi-pro hockey player, like in three years. Right, right. So that testosterone changes the male dramatically.

Well, I mean... Look, it's called man-made if anybody's interested. Put that up on my website. I don't know. It'll be interesting. You know, I don't know how these kids are kids are gonna react because of their relationship with you know And the availability of pornography, let's say for instance, but I mean I could remember You know finding a playboy and being like, oh shit. Yeah, it's like no, I mean like like a desert island guy finding

Yeah, like I mean a feeling that transcended you know words like like or enjoy you know what I mean? It's like it's sort of like saying you know a hyena doesn't like a zebra carcass you know what I mean? It's like it's in you know eyes rolling to the back of the head shaking you know if you get near it he'll bite you. Yeah. You know what I mean? It's like it's in. You know, my eyes roll into the back of the head shaking, you know If you get near it, he'll bite you. Yeah, you know what I mean? Like like there's that of course healing courses the 19 year old males are insightful and knows exactly what's happening to him There's no fucking idea. It's just he's just in no it's it's really it's it's it's really

I mean this this notion. I mean I could remember I mean, this notion, I mean, I could remember sort of having these fantasies at, you know, 14 or 15 and be like, what if I just ran up and grabbed that girl's booby and then ran away, you know what I mean? Like, I could squeeze her booby and then I just run away. You know what I mean? Like, I think, could I get away with it? You know, like, it was like weird. Your dreams would be weird

Which you remember those like sort of Feelings of that was like so like I don't know what direction to go. Yeah. Oh sure Pluto TV has all the shows and movies you love streaming for free That means laughter is free with gut-busting comedies like The Neighborhood, Boomerang, and Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Bueller. Mystery is free with countless cases to crack from Criminal Minds, Tracker, and Matlock. I'm a lawyer like the old TV show.

And thrills are free with heart-pumping hits like The Walking Dead and Pulp Fiction. Correct the mundo. Be with the free. Pluto TV. Stream now. Pay never. But TV. Stream now. Pay never. And, but here's a question. I could remember.

Chris is having it right now. Walking around. He hasn't had puberty yet. I can remember walking around, you know, finding an old black and white, you know, nudie newspaper or something. Oh my god. Just like staring at it. Yeah.

Taking the picture home and pressing it between a book or something, you know, staring at it. Well that's my whole point. When Sonny hits whatever Sonny hits and Sonny's got a tablet and that tablet is filled with everything you could imagine and then some. I mean, there's, I don't know, here's my question, here's my point. Right now on the internet, there's all that has come before today in terms of porn. I mean, there is all the stuff from the 70s. I mean, every day people are probably digging up stuff from the 40s and 50s and downloading

it and putting it on whatever. So there's all the stuff of Yor. And then there's the 250 movies that were made since I started talking about this. And then there's the 500 million just backyard ones that were made with the guy on their cell phone and his girlfriend that he posted up on the whatever. Now, you know, 10 years from now, eight years from now when Sonny decides to dig in and carry on the Corolla family trade, what is there going to be 200 million hours of porn on the internet? And then what's he do? Does he just is he burnt out on it? Is he frustrated because there's a girl that he has a crush on at school and she's not

on the internet having sex? Or if she doesn't look exactly like something he's sort of zeroed in on on the internet? No, I think he'll find somebody he's attracted to. But I mean, it's to the point where it's like, you know when you travel now and you stay at a hotel and you do this thing where you hear the news or you's like, you know when you travel now and you stay at a hotel and you do this thing where you hear the news or you hear something, you walk into the bathroom and then you walk back and you go, oh hey, what was that? You pick up the remote and you go, hey, rewind.

Hey, pause. Hey, pause. You're doing the radio too even. Rewind. Yeah, do the radio and you go, what's wrong? And then you realize, oh, this TV doesn't do that. Yeah. And you're a little frustrated.

Yeah. You're like, why isn't it doing this? I think Sonny is going to go to his high school, he's going to have a crush on Becky and Susie, and then he's just going to go back to the computer and he's going to Google in Becky and Susie lezing off. And then he's going to see a bunch of images and he's going to go, wait a minute, where's Becky and Susie? That's not the one from the homero, wait a minute, where's Becky and Suzy?

That's not the one from the homeroom. All right, let's see. Becky and Suzy with a dildo, double-ended. And then he's going to go, what the fuck? What's wrong with this computer? I just asked for those two chicks. I went to high school with the double-ended dildo. What's going on?

Why can't I have that? Why is there anything? Ah, there's some pictures of Becky topless. That's not what I'm talking about. What's a dildo? What's That's not what I'm talking about. What's the deal, though? What's going on here? This is an outrage. Or where they demand that kind of behavior from their peers.

I can only imagine. That's a waste of my time. Here's what I think I'm seeing happen today, though. The younger males don't have the eye of the tiger. They don't know this is happening, but I think I'm seeing this change because I've been talking to young people for a long time, which is they sort of go, well, I'll go like, well, we'll go find a relief. You want to be with somebody, fine.

So we get a relationship going. Girl's kind of a hassle. They're kind of difficult. I porn, I to be with somebody, fine. So we get a relationship going, girl's kind of a hassle. They're just kind of, they're kind of difficult. I pour it. I got that. I'm fine. You know what I mean? I'm cool with my porn. I get that's very satisfying. Well, it's relationships. That's, that's work. I'm not sure I'm up for that. Let's, uh, let's discuss that for one second because I had this, I've been, I've been thinking about this, which is having something that's just sustainable and just doable enough is kind of the worst thing. It's my methadone, it's my sort of welfare, my approach on welfare.

It's my thoughts about, I say this all the time, you talk to some guy and you go, where you living? He goes, Ocean Boulevard, Santa Monica. You go, wow, right on the ocean there, huh? Yep, right on the ocean. Jesus Christ, can you see the ocean? Yep, see it from my living room. Wow, that's a sweet place. Apartment?

Yeah, that's got to set you back. What's that, three grand a month? That can't be cheap at all. I mean, I'm not trying to rain on your parade, but for three grand a month, you'd probably get a nice house in the valley, at least no view of the ocean, but you'd own something. You wouldn't be living in an apartment.

And then the guy smiles at you and he goes, rent control. And I go, what? Rent control. 781 bucks a month and I got a view of the ocean. I'm never leaving this place. And you go, wow man, sweet deal. And then you walk away and you go, wait a minute,

he's never leaving. He's never leaving. He's been in there for 14 years. He's 43 years old. He's gonna fucking die in this apartment because, because there'll never be an instance where someone says would you like to pay three or four times this amount and live in the San Fernando Valley where it's 100 degrees every day and own versus I got to view the ocean for 781 bucks a month

and I can never leave. And I've realized, look at rent control. Look at the welfare and look at, look at the, just dig, dig. Everyone dig. We created rent control to try to help these people just like we created all this stuff with good intentions. We're going to help this person. But how much are you helping them? They're never going to be owners. I know guys who do have that situation and they go, I can't leave my place. By the way, once I leave, it's going up to two grand and the next person's moving in and they're never leaving. So there ain't no leaving and coming back. Once I leave, I'm out. And now, instead of this cheap rent where I get to stare

at the ocean, I'm going to move into the valley and pay five times as much or four times as much on a mortgage or whatever it is And by the way contribute more taxes right right right right be moving up move along They're never gonna do it. They're never gonna do it. So who's the joke on? Well, the guy who gets the rent you think is the luckiest guy on the planet, but let's check back in 40 years when him and his wife and his cat is still living in that little apartment and never owning a home. This is what happens. But that maybe that's fine for some people. Maybe that's good.

All right. But I'm saying with the kids, maybe the fact that everything they want is at their fingertips and they don't have to go out and hunt like you did. Right. Drew'd have to go hunt. He'd blow the horn. Hoo hoo hoo hoo! Dogs would bark.

Take off horses. Foxes running. That's right. Scatter. Run for the hedgerows. That's right. Here comes Drew. Hoo hoo!

I'm just saying. Think about it. Just even what you said about finding little snippets of pornography. How you would hunt for that. And then you'd cherish every little piece. I'd go through dumpsters. Young males would go through dumpsters. Routinely. Looking for playboys.

Gary's done it. We would go that was sort of a that was oh Gary's at it You know I go we we would go before all that all the all the bends all the bends that were set up with you know The mulch and you know plastic and stuff. I go trash picking all the time the trash picking was not Looking for down a boy. So oh no well first. I just go trash picking just to go trash pick Okay, the Corollas were trash pickers We just go out and people throw away toys that didn't work and stuff like that. My other good place we'd go dumpster diving was behind the Schwinn shop. Schwinn, you know, they'd throw away old tires and handlebars that were bent and things like that.

And we'd go grab all that. I don't know why. It's so... When you look back on it now, picture your kids going to a dumpster behind the Schwinn shop on Sunday when it was closed, you know, and just thrashing through the trash pile looking for junk that was obviously not deemed repairable by the place that repaired bicycles. It's fucking nuts. Nuts. Yeah. All right.

Well, speaking of bicycles, you didn't finish the peg story. So, do you have the peg story? That's fucking nuts. Nuts. Yeah. All right. Well, speaking of bias codes, you didn't finish the peg story. So, do you have a peg deal? Oh, the peg. I'm interested. I'll tell you what. Let's take a very quick break. All right.

Let's take a very quick... Let me tell you about one of our fine sponsors. Quick break. Stamps.com, baby. Love these guys. It is one of those...

All right, quick break. Your phone calls and this crazy peg story right after this. Hey everyone, it's me, Allison Rosen. This week on Allison Rosen is your new best friend. I sat down with Matt Walsh from Deep and Upright Citizens Brigade and we talked about growing up in a huge family, choosing comedy over psychology, which animals are famous versus merely well known, and then I learned something.

Was your family supportive of you wanting to pursue comedy? I think so. I think my mom, less so in a good way, like you gotta make money and like what is improv and how does that lead to anything? And then she would come into these houses I lived in with like three other dudes and she's like, oh my god you can't live like this. This is crazy. When I moved to New York, I was slightly older, they came in and we had the classic like two outlet prong with like eight cords running into it like total fire hazard. My father even says, Jesus God, that is not good. He's like, you got to fix that right now. I'm like driving around. I lost my gas cap one year

in Chicago so I just stuffed a rag in it so I was like driving a Molotov cocktail for like a day. Wait, back to the plug thing. That's a fire hazard? Subscribe to Allison Rosen is your new best friend on iTunes or go to allisonrosen.com. New episodes every Monday and Thursday. I love you. Yeah. Alright, Drew, we got a couple calls. We're going to tell a peg story, but you also, I want you to pick out a call you like there. Start right up at the top Here Javier you really know how to sell a call What's that's kind of a

I know but the point is is you go. Hey, man. He's got a cool question He's got Javier's got this great question about tribes. It's gonna be hilarious Provocative question, okay peg here's gonna be hilarious. Let's see what it's about. Provocative question. Okay, Peg, here's what I'm interested in, Drew, in life. Dig. And I see a ton of this and I don't know how it works but I'm very interested in why it doesn't work and how it just kind of continues and all that. I see a ton of it in life. I'm dying to know where you're going with this. Well, I'll give you an example. I watch a lot of boxing. The fighters use that medical tape you're familiar with.

They wrap it around the gloves, around the outside of the laces of the gloves. Well, it gets soaking wet. Those guys get sopped with sweat and water dumped on their head and all that stuff. And you know that tape, it's gauzy. It's cloth. Once it gets sopped wet, it just loses its adhesion phrase. And they go out to fight and then it starts hanging from the glove. And then they have to stop the fight. I don't know why it's dangerous, that wisp of gauze in the air when the guy's being pumbled

in the head. But they will stop the fight and they do the thing where they go back to the corner, go to the corner, guy frantically gets more of the same tape and he re-wraps it and then send him back out. And at some point it comes loose again because these guys are sopping wet. When you take that white tape and you submerge it in water and sweat, it just comes undone. And then at a certain point, someone went, hey, let's just use duct tape. Because duct tape's impervious to this. You can take duct tape, put it around,

hold them underwater for an hour and bring them up. It won't be loose again. So they started using duct tape. And then problem solved. Yes. And then they went back to the white tape and it started coming loose again. And now it's sort of half and half.

And it's this thing where it's like, it's the last fight I watch. Ref ref stopped it in eighth round go back the corner get the more we have a solution it's called duct tape it's it's it's ubiquitous it's at every hardware store it's everywhere on the planet I started thinking about well maybe it scratches fighters or something but this tape is this tape I don't think though the duct tape is very smooth and doesn't have as many edges. Does it go at the whole nature of certain traditions and certain ways of doing things that are traditional?

Because the guy will then go, because when you put the duct tape on, they'll go, ah, it doesn't give, it doesn't give, I prefer the white, I prefer the cloth. Did you make it a rule? Whatever, they'll make some bullshit excuse. No, because they use it half the time. But I'm saying, the reason they're not using it all the time is they prefer the tradition. They saw it growing up. They just like it.

They're just dumb. Just use white duct tape. It's not going to be any different. And then I started thinking they put all these ads for Corona and Budweiser and stuff in the middle of the ring. And then these guys come out and the ring is canvas, but the Budweiser ad is an iron-on slick vinyl. And then with all the sweat and all the water dripping off these guys' heads up, they start

slipping on the Budweiser thing and the Corona thing. And then they have to call timeout and the ref grabs the towel and he starts mopping it up. It's always funny because the audience booze. It's like, if I was a ref, I'd be like, fuck you. First off, I called timeout because these guys were slipping in the middle of the ring and I yelled for a towel, the towel thrown,

and then I'm frantically down on one knee buffing the Budweiser, the Corona thing, and the crowd's like, boo. It's like, really? He's fucking doing his job. If I walked into my kitchen and some guy was down on his knee with a bow tie, frantically buffing the floor, I wouldn't be like, whoa, this is an outrage. All right.

Of course, I watch his stuff and I go, look, from the word go, somebody should have done the math on Canvas. That must have something to do with money. No, no. That must. No, no. Here's what they do. Somebody said the Corona vinyl

that they put down is the exact same thing that's on the banner that's hanging from above exit 13. We're just putting it on the floor. Now somebody should have went, look, we've got to put a little scuff on this thing or what we have to do is put a little sand in it. I mean, you have to give it a texture because these guys are going to slip when they get

on this. No such luck. Nobody did the... When people go from this canvas, which is very porous, it's literally a canvas with a pad underneath, as it gets... You know what this is. Hold on. As it gets moist, you get more traction. On to this then slippery, glossy Corona thing, they're going to be slipping all over the

place. Has anyone done this math? This goes at how difficult it is to get people to change anything. Forget something easy. Imagine changing something difficult. People once they get going, they just are on autopilot. They don't change. They can't change direction. They can't change to autopilot. Right. They don't change. They can't change direction.

They can't change to create a new path. They just don't do it. And no one does the, what did you think was going to happen when the sweaty, wet guys who are doing nothing but trying to get traction with their feet and walk into this? Shitty idea, shitty execution. Nobody changed it.

Started going, and that's it. Well, no. But here's what we'll do. We need more towels to buff this stuff off in the middle of the fight and it's like no No, that's not the solution to this You may need to put some great units of these things in building and stuff that must happen every day to you all day every day right, so I I'm I'm many years ago many right at the beginning of my career before love line came on TV Back when it's just on the radio big I get to do this ordinary extraordinary show

with Was it John Ritter John Ritter Wow John Ritter going to like Orlando to do riding a float remember that Yeah, now we it was another another Miss Miss Universal runner up or something. Me and John anyway, we're doing this thing and they're doing an indoor stunt. They have this big old thing up and Dave Mira the BMX bike guy or one of the Mira guys said BMX bike guy, he's going to do a flip.

I think maybe he's going to do a double flip on a BMX bike. Scaffolding, rigging, set up inside a big Orlando sound stage. He's going to go down it, he's going to do a double back flip, and he's going to land on the landing ramp. It's never been done before. And I'm just sitting there as the guy who's working on the show, watching him practice and get set up. And I like mechanics and bikes and stuff like that and stunts

and everything. And I'm just watching him. And I'm just looking at him, and I'm looking at his BMX bike. And his BMX bike has big pegs, buddy pegs as they call them. These are protruding, knurled pieces of lathe aluminum that are coming from the front forks and coming from the rear axle, front axle, rear axle. And I'm just looking at it and I'm sort of saying to someone next to me, what's he need the pegs for?

And he says, it's a BMX bike. I said, yeah, but he's not doing street tricks. The pegs are for when they're doing the street stuff at the X Games. They're going to jump over the handlebars, put their feet on it, spin the bike through their legs and step on the back or whatever. Or you got buddy pegs. You got a buddy, put him on the pegs, riding home from the soccer practice. I said, there's no application here.

He's doing a double flip, and he's going to land it. He can just go ahead and get nuts and put it on there and hold the axles on that way. Did you foresee trouble with those pegs at that point? You're just curious why the pegs at all. I foresaw trouble because there are four to five inch protruding metal objects coming from all four corners of this thing that you may be falling off of and getting tangled up in at some point.

And like I said, I'd say to a couple people, what's he need the pegs for? That's his BMX bike. I said, yeah, but he's just going down a ramp. He's going to do double flip and he's going to land. The pegs aren't doing anything. He's not using them. I know, but that's his BMX bike. he's gonna land. The pegs aren't doing anything. He's not using them. I know, but that's his BMX bike. That's part of the thing.

I was like, I'd take the pegs off if I were him. It'd be one less thing to jam up my ass, you know? And they don't have, you know, it's not like they have rubber caps on them or something. I mean, look. When you go to a construction site now and there's exposed rebar, they have orange caps on top of it. So if a guy falls off some scaffolding the shit don't go through him or you know whatever so I'm just looking at him and sure enough he's

practicing and sure enough he eats shit and sure enough when the pegs just goes into his ribs you know while he's sliding on top of the bike and I'm like well there you go I don't know why his team from Schwinn who's setting up the ramp setting up the bike you know he's got a handler like he's from Schwinn who's setting up the ramp, setting up the bike, you know, he's got a handler, like he's got a guy who's coordinating the stunt. Why the stunt coordinator? Why the safety technician? Why, you know, there's somebody who's saying, look, put some foam pads down here and move

the ramp needs to be so far apart. And, you know, obviously that guy's saying we can't have a sharp steel edge on the landing ramp. He misses it. It'll be decapitated. You know, let that guy's saying, we can't have a sharp steel edge on the landing ramp. He misses it. He'll be decapitated. You know, let's roll it down. You know, there's somebody in charge over there who's doing something. I don't know why that human being doesn't go, what do we need the four sharp protruding

things coming from all four corners of this bike he's going to at some point during practice land on? But no. And yes, he does land and yes, he gets the peg in the ribs. Now he was okay, fucked up a little from the peg in the ribs and he went on to do it. But I just sort of look at life and go, really? Now I understand why my wife doesn't say anything about the pegs. What about the guys, the experts who travel with him, who come

here from LA, who've set the bike up gearing wise, put the seat in a certain position, reinforce this, and reinforce that first. Really want the pegs back on the bike huh? Interesting. I have no idea, no idea what goes on. I have no fucking idea. I don't know why he doesn't notice it. I don't know why anyone else does. It's glaring to me. And yes, of course, he's gonna land on the pegs, and he did.

All right, Drew, what's up? Let's talk about driving. There's something special about me, because people say, well, Adam, you understand. You're just smarter. I said smart. That's no shit Dick Tracy, as understand you're just smarter. I thought smart. That's no shit. Dick Tracy No, as my sister used to say, yeah, that's that's fucking pegs up the ass 101

That's just what are those four sharp things protruding from this thing? I'm gonna be inverted on I'm not smart I am NOT smart. I just look at that and go why is that there? What is that? That's not me being smart. That's, I, that, this is a fine example of everyone else being dumb. You don't screen anything out. In his head, that's a BMX bike. And BMX bike, that's just what he's used to and feeling.

It wouldn't be a BMX bike. It's clumped into one thing. Right. And it's, he wouldn't, he can't imagine a BMX bike without, wouldn't even contemplate, you know what I mean? He's not seeing the parts of the bike. And the safety tech guy? Same him with him.

Right. But you don't clump. You see the parts. You see the elements. Okay. And people clump stuff and then they just don't see it. I still argue. That's how the brains work.

People may think this is narcissistic. It's not. I don't think I'm smart. I think everyone else is dumb, which makes me smart. But that's everyone being stupid. That's not me being observant. I think the brain works different. It works different.

Okay. Javier? You're using more of your right brain. Hey, man. Drew, how's it going? How's it going? Javier. Hey, on my question, she's just turned 15. She's getting ready to start driving,

go with her a couple times. She's scared the living shit out of me. Your daughter. Daughter, yeah. Yeah, she's taking the class, pegs up the ass 101. It's an important class. Let me show her a little bit. I got a movie called Blood on the Anus. Oh, Jesus. I got a movie called Blood on the Anus. Oh, Jesus. Yes. I got that on my Netflix feed. Don't worry about it. But I guess I'm looking at all these stupid schools. You had mentioned several times sending these kids

to something a little bit more aggressive instead of this driver's ed, same stuff. I mean, I didn't learn a damn thing in these driver's training courses that they teach down at the strip mall. You mean like send them to like an aggressive, you know, Bob Anderon School of Driving kind of thing? Yes. Can you do that before you have a license?

Yes. Or you can do it. They have teen driving or pre-teen or whatever. There's versions of this. I bet it's expensive. Couple things. One is everything's expensive. And number two, more expensive than your child's life.

Number three, this is a perfect example of our society of, as I've always said, filtered water must go into the kid, but pool gates swinging wide open because the gardener left it open nine out of ten times. Right. Filtered tap water is not going to kill your kids. Swimming pool is going to kill them in less than a minute. Yeah. But yet, where's the focus? The way your kid, your little white kid from California in your middle class neighborhood

is going to go is not going to be unfiltered water or leukemia from standing too close to the microwave. It's going to be behind the wheel of a car. Yet, that's not where the focus is. It's never, it's not really. These kids should all be going through driving schools. This is very similar to the PEGS conversation. Yes. Which is that people don't see, they can't prioritize. They don't have, ooh, there it is, $4.95 for a five hour Bondura and driving program for kids. Yeah, and I'm going to try to swat.

You got it. I just got a fly, sorry. Well done. It's true. True, true, true, true. True. All right. Why are you trying to flop it onto the floor for?

Just leave it there. I'll throw it in the trash can. We're trying to throw the carcass on the floor. I'll never see it again. All right. So listen, by the way, that's Bob Bondurant. That's the biggest school, whatever. There's stuff out there.

There's half-day stuff out there. There's probably cheaper stuff up there. I've talked to people about it. I mean, it's stuff for 190 bucks. You get a half-day. You go on the skid pad. They wet it down. They get to feel what the car's like out of control.

You go to the desert. It's an hour and a half day, you go on the skid pad, they wet it down, they get to feel what the car is like out of control. You go to the desert, it's an hour and a half drive, and the kid really feels what it's like to control a car, learn a car, handle a car. The same thing you do with a horse or anything else, that the kid was there to operate safely. This is a 5,000 pound horse. You want your kid driving it through a farmer's market. This is all about our psychology. We're so weird about certain things that we miss the things that are really important. Absolutely. Goddamn, Lutely.

Yes, all of you do it for your kids. As far as all... Look, I'm not down with the free lunch program with the kids, but I would definitely have a, I wouldn't mind if this was state sponsored. You know, if you did it on, if you did it on mass, you, if you did it on mass, you could get it down to 80 bucks a kid. And that I'm fine with. All right. Should we bring this home? Yeah. Yes.
