Drew's a, Drew, we drive gas guzzlers.
Yes we do.
We're V8 man.
I've got one of those, yep.
Yes, and Drew's a very busy man.
So busy that he's actually working right now.
It's true.
He's texting.
You know, it's funny, Drew, tell me if you're this way
or you're not or you don't know it.
I have conversations with people all the time,
like my wife, where she's like returning someone's text
and I'm talking to them.
I have this, when I'm talking to Mike August on the phone
and I can, yeah, somewhere about minute seven of him going,
uh-huh, uh-huh, and then I go go like when are we supposed to be in Salt Lake?
What's the name of the theater we're playing in Salt Lake it's the
And I realize okay, he's doing something
He's doing something and I get into this and and I realize people can parrot back exactly what you're saying
Yes, well I can without but they're not they're not
Processing what they're saying and so I always do this thing with my wife where I go. I don't mean to be rude
I don't I don't I'm not stupid because any listen
You can say that to a drunk guy in a coma and he will parrot back what you just said
Yeah, I just go I'll wait till you're done doing what you're doing
I'm not being a dick, but you're engaged
in something other than this discussion
and I'd like you to finish what you're doing
and then we'll get into it.
Drew, you probably have the ability,
and obviously it's dangerous because people drive
and they think they can do this.
You have the ability to do this and listen simultaneously probably
better than most people on the planet. Yes, I had to learn to do that way in my training,
be able to do two things at once. Had to be able to do that because you're doing so, and I used to be
way better at it than I am now. Like I used to be able to be solving a problem in my head,
focusing on a problem, and giving directions to another nurse or something.
You know what I mean?
Now I've noticed I have to go back and forth very, very, very quickly.
And I fatigue after about a minute and a half.
So I can do about a minute and a half and then Adam will give me the, all right, and
you'll just stop talking.
That's what you do.
You just stop.
And you wait for me to finish.
You don't tell me it's time to finish.
You just stop.
Well, we used to do that.
I think we used to do that when you were having people fill out
that stupid test of narcissism that we're taking.
Somehow I scored off the charts.
Shocking.
With the narcissism.
Well, listen, I'll grant you this.
You're a genius.
Other people don't exist, but neither do I.
So how big a narcissist can I be?
You know what I'm saying?
Touche.
Point taken.
Let me ask you what kind of narcissist does this.
I ruined a pair of pants that I wear quite a bit.
How'd you ruin them?
Shit myself.
No.
You know how I ruined my pair of pants?
I was indoors. I was like in an event, a venue somewhere. I don't know if I was in an arena.
I don't know if I was at one of the theaters I was playing or something like that. I think
I was in a big like carpeted like, I don't know, I said seamer or something like that
and I was chewing gum. Oh. And at a certain point, either I was being interviewed for a radio show or someone handed me a beer or something, but either way I was chewing gum. And at a certain point either I was being interviewed for a
radio show or someone handed me a beer or something but either way I took the gum out
of my mouth and I looked around and there was nothing but carpet and displays or whatever.
There was no trash can. There was no, I didn't have a piece of tissue or anything. There
was nothing I could find and there was no bathroom. I couldn't have a piece of tissue or anything. There's nothing I could find and there's no bathroom there
I couldn't find I'm just holding this gum and somebody said well
It's time to do your interview now or whatever it is and I put the gum in my pants
I put raw gum in my pocket and then it ruined my pants, but I
Would not drop it on the ground and for somebody I hate when I step in someone's gum.
It fucking drives me nuts.
And I wouldn't stick it to the other side of a table
because I hate it when I'm in a diner
and I put my hands there and I feel someone else's gum.
That's the kind of narcissist
that would also be incredibly PO'd
that there wasn't a trash can around.
And do a half hour on it.
No, I wasn't.
I'm incredibly PO'd when I step on other people's shit
Yeah, well as we've discussed many times you have a perfect
Compass
for right and wrong
Yes, yeah, and it's wrong to put other people in the way of the gum. Yes, you wouldn't do that
You wouldn't want somebody to do that to you, but you wouldn't do that to somebody else.
You have a perfect equation there.
There's absolute balance always.
Well, I don't factor in, there's no mitigating circumstances.
There are no, well, this guy's dad was really tough on him,
so he can throw his gum where he wants.
That has nothing to do with my shoe and his gum.
Right.
You hold people to the same standard you hold yourself.
Yeah, I'm a, I hold myself to a slightly higher standard.
No, that's the narcissist part.
No, I don't expect, I don't expect people to do some of the stuff that I do.
That's the low self-esteem stuff.
Yeah, that's low self-esteem.
Yeah.
That's the kind of narcissist.
Yeah.
Narcissist with low self-esteem. Yeah, that's what made me-esteem. Yeah. Mm-hmm. That's the kind of narcissists. Yeah. Narcissists with low self-esteem. Yeah
That's what that's what's me what made me so attractive to the ladies coming up
The narcissist with incredibly low self-esteem. That's why the ladies love me. Yeah. No, it's fun because like I used to
I used to there's a couple of couple in house like
Dawson likes to go out there and smoke and then he likes to smoke and hawk loogies on the blacktop where people either park or get out of the
car or do whatever it is. He just likes to hawk oysters on the ground. There's a shrub
that is three and a half feet away that you could easily hawk your loogie into but I walked out there and I noticed a sphere a sphere of
loogies like meaning he stood in this in the center like a unit like a solar
kind of like a rain bird you know like he he just stood there and I just looked
down it was like it's a patio you know it's a little table out there place for
people to smoke and I said Dawson you think anyone wants to slide in your loogies
on this blacktop?
And he said, I don't know, you know,
and I said, well, hock it, hock it into the shrub, Dawson.
And he said, yeah, okay, like, I never thought of that.
I never thought that people wouldn't want to step
in my sphere of loogie, but all right, yeah, whatever.
You're the boss.
I guess so.
That's that hypervigilance thing.
You have awareness.
A lot of people are just out of it with their automatic behavior.
I wouldn't call that hypervigilance.
There's a sea of loogies and it's four feet away from the front door.
He came in the other day, opened his truck door, got out of his truck, poof, poof, popped
one right on the ground, walked right into the building.
And I thought, well, I guess we'll have to re,
Retrain him.
No, we'll just revisit that, which you have to do.
I now realize, I don't know who I was talking to
about this, but the revisit, that conversation,
Mike Lynch and I speak about this all the time.
I guess we'll have to talk about that for a thirty-third time. A weird thing to
me. Yes. Because that, I feel like that's to me one of the things, for instance, if
you know we just had a business meeting here. If I walked out of that business meeting and the boss man came up to me.
Many of you.
There was, let's say, a boss man floating around.
And he said, should have that business meeting, your shirt's untucked, you're dressed like
a homeless guy.
We're talking to clients guy. We're talking
to clients here, we're trying to impress clients, so appreciate it in the future.
You know, I'm not saying you have to wear a tuxedo to a business meeting, but put on
a v-neck sweater so you look semi-professional. My greatest fear in
life would be a second conversation with that man about my appearance at a
business meeting. Yes. That'd be my greatest fear.
I think that must, because I have that same feeling.
Right, and if there was another business meeting
scheduled for two months later,
I would fucking be in front of the mirror
with the lint roller out.
And somehow that equates with shame
and low self-esteem in some weird way, doesn't it?
Whatever it is, I never wanna get into that,
I never wanna leave another business meeting
and have the boss man go, Adam, excuse me,
shut the, come in the office, shut the door, please.
Can you sit down?
That's the greatest fear.
Yeah, I agree.
I don't feel like people have that fear anymore
because I do feel like I have the conversation.
Mike, I don't know what we were talking about last night.
Last night we were recording some pre-read ads
and people were shouting and talking outside of the door
for the second time after being told to shush.
Can I tell you how many times this happens
where people congregate in the kitchen.
By the way, it's happened on this show,
but it's happened on every set I've ever been on.
People sort of congregate in a certain place,
they start talking.
At a certain point, it's getting picked up by the microphones
when you're laying down a recording studio,
or you're doing a movie, or you're doing a TV show.
At a certain point, someone walks up to them and goes,
excuse me people, we're filming here.
So either take it outside or zip it, we're live,
we're recording here.
And then you go back and you sit down,
and you hear the same people talking
again and then you go really less than three minutes.
Why say three minutes?
I mean 41 seconds.
You have to now walk back again and tell the same motherfuckers to shut up.
It's like kids.
Like if they're like, it's exactly what kids do.
Exactly what kids do. But now we're like kids. Like if they were like... It's exactly what kids do. Exactly what kids do. But now, we're all kids.
And now the bad guy is the guy who comes back for the second time and tells him to shut up.
And by the way, if he raises his tone, if he slips in a,
hey, I don't want to have to say this again, or I just told you, oh boy, that's verbal abuse now. My point
is I don't want that guy going back for the second time without saying, hey, how many
times I got to tell you this? That's the message part.
Now, you know what's interesting is that in the day, let's say in the 60s and 70s, the
guy coming back would have been, hey, that's the man trying to get us down, man.
We're gonna, our esteem is higher than that.
But now I think it's everyone's so wounded
that they're re-injured when you come back out
and yell at them.
You know, it's a weird shift.
You know what I'm talking about?
Yeah, I do know what you're talking about.
Not to say that the 1670 thing was good, it was bad.
And it was still defiance and sort of, you know,
sort of casting off the shackles of the man,
whatever that was, but now it's like,
hey, the man wounds me, so I can't tolerate it
being talked to that way.
Isn't that weird?
Yeah, there's a, I'm gonna go off and sulk.
No, I'm not gonna sulk, I'm gonna like hurt somebody,
myself or you. Well. And now I have to get it out of me, I'm not going to sulk. I'm going to like hurt somebody, myself or you.
Well.
Now I have to get it out of me because I can't tolerate the shame.
There's something, well.
Right?
There's an aggression that follows.
There's an element of that.
I think there's also an element of a, as we discuss, a sort of non-pecking order to society
anymore. We've given up the, we've decided at some point
we announced every child was the future. Everybody inside them had the ability to
do, find that cover with Fergie on it. I'll give you an example. I'll give you
an example. We told like every woman
You you have the power of the world at your fingertips because you're female
Let's uh, let's take a look at Fergie on the cover of Glamour magazine. Okay, there it is
Can you read the can you enlarge it a little more by the way?
Fergie's wearing
High heels not the princess of York. This is Fergie from Black Eyed Peas.
I'm sorry, Black Eyed Peas.
She is as dolled up, as glammed up, and as whored out as you can be.
She's all leg.
She's wearing up the crotch, tight cycling shorts that go way up the leg.
I mean, right?
Yeah.
She's wearing a very tight shirt, and it doesn't look like she's eaten in weeks, right? Yeah. She wears a very tight shirt and it doesn't look like she's eaten in weeks, right?
Now, here's her quote from Glamour Magazine
as she stands there all 102 pounds of her airbrushed and-
Multi-millionaire.
Three hours in makeup, three hours in hair.
Let's take a look, read the quote, Drew.
I believe that every woman has the power
to change the world.
We make things happen.
All right, does that mean anything? No.
What about the fat chick who's working at the Noggle's? Does she have the power
to change the world? I think they'll talk about him. Every woman has the power to change the world
because that's going to get it's going to get confusing if every single woman can change the
world. The world is going to be changing on an almost daily basis if we give that power to every woman
So does Fergie believe that?
Does Fergie really believe that or she just fucking high or she just blowing smoke up everyone's ad?
I mean, it doesn't mean anything. That's the thing. It means nothing
Yeah I mean it doesn't mean anything. That's the thing. It means nothing. There's not all from the 70s Yeah, no
Yeah, by the way free orange juice with steak and egg burrito. This is from the 70s
So I don't know if they're still running that promotion
But if you can't find a noggles you there's a chance you can get some free
Oh, Jay, see if you get a picture of the actual the the Hut the Hut the noggles. I like that
I like rhesus. Oh, I like that. Hey listen, the hut, the hut that Knoggles is in. That's the comedy. It's the greasiest.
Oh!
I like the, hey listen, they're bringing the Knoggles back.
No!
Seriously?
They told me.
They've tweeted me.
Mr. Knoggles told you?
Ms. Knoggles.
Douche Knoggles?
Douche Knoggles.
The eldest son.
Yes, Douche Baggert knuckles told me. Six tacos, 150.
Wow.
30% of the kids in this country go home insecure about Ferg.
I want to see, yeah, I'll go to bed hungry.
I want to see Fergie's quote one more time.
Every woman-
We make things happen.
Every woman has, she believes.
Has the power to change the world.
Each woman.
Just say each woman, she says every woman.
Every woman.
If Fergie believes this, she's retarded.
She doesn't believe.
I believe that every woman has the power
to change the world.
And by the way, you're printing this shit?
You fucking idiots.
Do you think she said that? Some publisher said, here's what we're gonna put. You're okay, we're you fucking idiots. You think she said that.
Some publisher said, here's what we're going to put.
Okay, we're going to sign off on this.
Listen, you don't empower, hold on, quiet.
You don't empower people by yelling at them to be empowered.
They go out and educate themselves, they work hard, they achieve things.
You don't explain that you just believe that every woman has the power to change the world.
All right, this is the problem. achieve things you don't explain that you just believe that every woman has the power to change world
this is the problem
if every woman
has the power to change the world then i'm guessing every man has the power to
change the world as well well a little less than one
little bit less that's right they are they do build the skyscrapers
they do put the men on the moon
the point is that women didn't have the chance they all they would all, they would have done it, they're held back by man.
You got it, you figured it out finally.
Okay.
You got it straight.
Alright, now everyone can change the world.
So how can I go in and yell at Chris Maxapada to do something when he has the power to change
the world?
Or at least his girlfriend does.
Do you know what I mean?
Why should he listen to me?
He's the future. Every child
is special and he has the power to change the world. So why is he fucking making coffee
for me?
Well, that's the whole point.
If you had the power to change the world and you decided to make Adam a pot of coffee,
wouldn't that be like squandering your world changing power day?
Yeah.
It's all right, so don't listen to me.
Right, there was a time when people,
the message to children was,
you should be seen and not heard.
Shut up and sit down.
Work hard maybe.
Or.
Work hard maybe.
Or as my, huh?
Work hard maybe the good things will happen to you.
Remember that?
Maybe, that's right.
There's always a maybe. If you work hard, perhaps things will work out. Now it's like, things are gonna work out if you work hard maybe the good things will happen to you remember that maybe that's right There's always a maybe yeah, if you work hard, perhaps or work out now
It's like things are gonna work out if you work hard and then they're confused when it does
There's a little saying that I'd like to apply to all kids
That comes from the mouth of my Guatemalan nanny
Which goes a little something like this
Shut up sit down
Gayette?
Sit down I got that yeah yeah that's
genius she could change the world
listen there's a lot of wisdom that
comes out of her village as I like to
say in your village I would say to her
say to her every time, shut up and sit down.
So we have a whole group of kids.
Natalia has gotten that one internalized.
We have a whole group of kids who instead of shut up and sit down, we had to go to,
as I said, had to go to their school and I had to watch them walk in a circle
in a grass field for an hour and hold up signs,
go Timmy.
And then I have to pay them $100.
Now, he's a hero.
No running, we don't want any injuries.
It's a walk for fitness.
Walking is something elderly people do
when they're recovering from a hip surgery, right?
Correct.
Not six-year-olds.
No.
That is not...
Not for fitness.
Walking is not for fitness for a six-year-old.
Walking for a six-year-old is like containment.
Yeah.
It's like we're going to help you focus and contain.
Walk for a while.
That does not constitute exercise for a six or seven-year-old.
Yes?
Yes.
Now dig. We've ruined our kids.
No, no, dig, dig, dig.
So this whole thing you're going off on,
because I want you to think about this.
Really what you're talking about is the misappropriation
of something, well perhaps misappropriation,
in your mind, misappropriation,
because people could disagree,
of a concept that I think we all agree is good and the foundation of this,
one of the founding principles of this country,
which is equality.
And equality, as Abraham Lincoln saw it,
was equality of opportunity, level playing field,
in the race of life.
So everyone has equal, not everyone has equal ability,
not everyone's the same height,
not everyone has the same level of strength,
but everyone starts on the same plane.
But do with it what you will.
Can I say this quickly?
Yeah, yeah.
Equality should be a goal, but not an obsession.
We have turned but not an obsession.
We have turned it into an obsession because it is mathematically impossible
to have complete equality.
It's mathematically impossible.
Yes, but perhaps.
It's unobtainable.
But yet we obsess on it.
But haven't we confused equality of opportunity
with frank equalness?
Yes.
You know what I'm saying?
Yes.
Like you and I are not equal in all things.
No, but.
We weren't born equal in all things.
And we're not supposed to be,
but we're supposed to have the same laws regulations guidelines
access to education and whatever so where we get weird is
We had our equality was effed up by our circumstances of life
Mm-hmm our parents messed up art, you know, so how do we deal with that?
How do we level that part of the playing field? Well, that's where we get messed up are, so how do we deal with that? How do we level that part of the playing field?
Well that's where we get messed up.
Okay, it's hard to go back and build a time machine
and level things that are way in your rear view mirror.
Or in the evolution of our biological systems even.
Yeah, so this obsession of we need to get
Dr. Pudzley and his way back machine, I wonder what the
fuck his name was, Sherman and his way back machine and go back and fix whatever was,
you know, Japanese American internment camps.
Just look up way back machine.
Slavery and everything else.
Let's stop staring into history's rear view mirror and trying
to figure out ways to fix the shit that was broken 70 years ago.
Let's move forward and look at ways to do it.
There you go.
I would like to-
That is the way back machine.
I would like to go back-
Peabody, Mr. Peabody.
Mr. Pe P body and Sherman
I would like to go back and fix my dad and I'd like to go back and fix my mom
But I can't way back machine
Come on. Are you listening or not? I'm too. I'm too entertained by the way back machine reference. Go ahead
I can't go back and fix my mom. I can't go back and fix my dad. I can't fix Japanese internment or
and fix my dad. I can't fix Japanese internment or Japanese American internment camps and I can't fix World War II and what happened to the Jews. I
cannot fix any of that. But I can't fix arguments I got into two weeks ago with
my wife. But moving forward, we can. And the notion that basically politicians have decided that we all need
to stand in the way back machine and look at injustices that were perpetrated upon all
of us, some of them through our society, some of them through, you know, hey, there's the
Negro counter and there's the white counter, and then others
are just, well, he comes from a broken family and his dad wasn't on the scene, and thus
he got into trouble and he started running with the wrong folks, and then mama couldn't,
and that's why he went to juvenile detention, and then next thing you know, he stabbed an
elderly couple, but that's not his fault.
We need to stop looking in the way back machine and going into the way back machine and start going forward
All right. We have a problem in this community or that community. We have a problem with these folks or those folks
We have a problem with education. We have a problem. Whatever we have a problem with now
Let's look forward and let's fix it. Mm-hmm not interested
politically not interested in that everyone has to climb into the way back machine and they can all tell the stories about how when the grandparents came here, poor, sharecroppers.
Does this factor into the same thing we were talking about with the shaming if you tell people to behave a certain way? Because they go in my history I had parents that were divorced and didn't care or could have been abusive
Your parents were together and your dad was a doctor and they sent you to the finest schools and now you have all this
Going for yourself and now you're gonna come over here and take me who are basically damaged goods and
Take me who are basically damaged goods and shame me with your demands of being quiet for a second time in 45 fucking seconds and my point is this
number one I
Need you to be quiet. So I don't give a fuck how you absorb that message or what it feels like to you
I need you to be quiet
I'm not telling you this to shame you or to make you feel bad. I would love
it if you could be quiet without having me walk over there and tell you to shut the fuck
up for a second time. But you've left me no choice. So number one, I do not want to engage
in this. It is not comfortable for me to explain to you that you need to stop being late or
that you need to shut up or that you need to dress better for meetings. I don't want to do this. You have decided that I get some joy or perverse
pleasure from telling you this. Quite the contrary. The boss wants to do work and he wants to do what
the boss wants to do. He does not want you to call you in the office and tell you about your
disheveled t-shirt. You understand? So that's number one.
Don't make this about you.
He would like this problem to go away.
Number one, I would like you to stop talking.
Number two, I don't give a fuck how that makes you feel.
That's up to you.
I'm just delivering the message
that you need to stop talking.
You said something three times there
that I think is the sort of overriding message.
It wasn't Candyman, was it?
No.
Because we're fucked if I did.
No, you didn't say that.
Don't make this about me.
Sure, that's no idea what I'm talking about.
No, no idea.
Gary's laughing his ass off, that's what I like about.
There's a move, I think if you said Candyman
three times in a mirror, Tyler Perry would show up with a steak knife and fucking kill you. It was a movie, I think if you said Candyman three times in a mirror, Tyler Perry would show up with a steak knife
and fucking kill you.
It was a movie, Drew.
Yeah?
Yeah, sorry.
And what should I know about it?
You should know.
You haven't even seen The Shining yet.
I did.
Oh!
Oh yes, after you beat me enough, I went and,
that was back in the day of DVD.
I didn't even see a DVD player, I mean a cassette player. I didn't have a DVD player. I mean, a cassette player.
I didn't have a DVD player.
So it was long enough for me.
All right, I said something three times.
Don't make this about you.
That's really, that's sort of the message for all of us.
Don't make this about you.
Because now it's narcissistic now.
Now everything's about you and it's grandiose
and who's gonna change now?
Well, listen, and by the way, Now everything's about you and that's grandiose and who's gonna change now? No one.
And by the way, have you ever thought,
has anybody ever thought about this,
like whether it's the teacher hates me
or the boss is jealous.
Right, don't make it about you.
The teacher sits there, has been sitting there
for 20 years in the same shitty school.
He gets the same 35 snot-nosed kids come through there,
times five or six periods.
Really, the time to single you out and hate you, huh?
Because of what, exactly?
Your bad skin?
Like, what is it that the teachers decided to pursue you?
And by the way, this is somebody who's dedicated their life
to try to help kids and probably has a special
sort of place in their heart for kids that have extra needs.
There's nothing that would delight this teacher more than you getting straight A's on every test that you handed in.
And you can say the same thing about your football coach, but there's nothing that would delight your football coach more
than you being able to be a great run stopper or take
it to the outside and go for pay. He hates you. He hates you.
God probably. He hates you. Right. Your tackles were perfect but he always tells
him, calls him shitty. We have decided that this is an actual thing Drew. It was
never a thing before. We have decided that because of either the color
of your skin or your religion or your ethnicity or your sex that this person could just have it in
for you or maybe it's just you. Whatever. They don't even need a reason. We have signed off
reason we've we have signed off on a bullshit premise we have signed off it's like in movie making everything is a bully victim relationship every time
someone holds up a gun it makes a click sound like it makes a sound like well
that motion where I'm holding the gun and I go oh yeah well how'd you like it
if I took your head off and I slid it under your chin it makes a chink Like what's it doing loading itself now because I'm putting it under your chin. I didn't I didn't pull the hammer back
I just move moving guns doesn't make a noise but look
Somebody decided in Hollywood that there was a noise associated with me now lifting the gun
Like I could be holding the gun next to me and I'd go. Oh, yeah
Don't take another step and I'd lift it up to my shoulder
and make a cha-chunk sound.
But I didn't do anything.
I didn't pump it.
I didn't pull anything.
Somebody decided that in Hollywood, and now it is.
Somebody decided that people could just not like you
and just because of whatever, the color of your skin
or who you hung with or how you dressed or whatever, or had it in for you just because of whatever, the color of your skin, or who you hung with, or how you dressed, or whatever,
or had it in for you just because it didn't,
and everyone signed off on it, and we all moved forward.
It's the bully victim thing.
Every relationship is a bully victim relationship.
That's right.
Max Spana.
Oh, and also like when people hang up on a phone,
the dial tone just immediately comes back,
and that never happens.
That never happens.
Also, the people don't know they were hung up on.
Hello?
Hello?
Hello? Well, you just called the person a fucking douchebag, so they hung up on you.
I'm always prepared for when people hang up on me because I've said something to them,
but I'm never confused.
Hello?
Hello?
Am I late?
How many times can you hear a dial tone and think someone is still there? Hello? Dial tone. Hello?
Yeah, your wife? Oh, she hangs up hangs up. Wait a minute. So annoying. I've heard you on the phone
Let me
Let me explain what every single phone call with dr
Drew on the road in the back of the town car on the way to the airport sounds like when he calls his wife.
Somewhere around minute three, Drew goes into wrap it up mode.
Here's how you know.
All right.
Will do.
Will do.
Will do.
Okay.
All righty then.
Well then, well then we'll. Alrighty then.
Well then, well then we'll see you then.
Will do.
Will do.
By the way, if you're talking to someone somewhere around the 85th time you hear the term will
do, that means they want off.
Okay.
All right then.
Well then we'll see it.
Will do. What I always enjoy is the reboot.
Yeah, there's always a reboot in there.
The reboot.
Really? She wants to go to dinner?
It's a reboot. It's like, oh, hold on. We'll do. We'll do. No, I don't know where her retainer
is. Did you talk to Delia? So she doesn't... Okay. Will do.
Will do.
Will do.
I always want to grab the phone out of your hand and go, as far as she's dying to get
off the fucking phone with you, can you just let them off their phone?
Put them out of their misery and let them off the phone.
Unless we get into stuff that makes her uncomfortable, then it's all of a sudden...
You listening to me. Are you?
Well, really?
All right. Should we take a quick break? Sure. All right. We got your phone calls lineup drew. What do you like up there?
Medical details question. My humerus
Like a mall daily really really loves just go
like the last
Dating first to a quick girl. First two are quick and easy.

Dr. Drew the podcast everyone every Monday Wednesday and Friday
Dr. Drew comm iTunes our app. He is very proud of it. It's good. Yes I'm gonna enjoy it and I'm gonna be playing the Reno nugget this Saturday February 23rd always a good time over there
Another thing that was brought up
that I always complain about.
Before you do, I'm sure this will stay with you.
Just a quick thing, people have been very kind
about supporting your and my podcast,
but this one, this podcast requires a separate move,
which you have to go to the Adam and Drew site
at adamcarolla.com and then click through on Amazon
to support this one.
I'm not sure everyone's getting that.
So I just wanna make sure that people that like this show,
please do support this show.
So go ahead, I'm sorry.
I complained about this sort of fake movie noises
and I was reminded by Chris Max Patta,
one that I've always complained about,
which is the stadium lights turning on.
Chunk, chunk.
Yeah.
Yeah, I heard those at the Super Bowl, didn't you?
Yeah, everyone looked up and went, huh?
When the lights went off, because they were like,
chunk, chunk, chunk.
And I said, there's no sound of lights
turning on at a stadium.
And by the way, they don't turn on like that.
They they they they warm up.
And there's no chunk to them.
But it's now documented that at least when they turn off
at the stadium, there's no chunk. but that is another empty stadium be fair empty stadium
that you empty right that's the other thing that Hollywood signed off on about
20 years ago and ever it doesn't matter it doesn't matter how good the director
is how good the writers if you're turning lights, now it doesn't do it with reading lamps.
There should be some overzealous foley guy who's just like, I want the big chunk sound
in there.
Turns on the reading lamp, chunk.
Turns on the bathroom light, chunk.
What would the sound even be of?
What is that?
I don't, it's unclear because the switch itself doesn't really make a sound. I'm not sure there's a switch
It's probably like a board. If I push a button
Yeah, right, but and then the light itself is just electricity going to multiple light bulbs
Which is we all know whether you're in the kitchen and it's one light bulb or you're in a stadium and it's a hundred light bulbs
Doesn't there's no sound to a filament?
Heating up. We had a it would be fascinating to find out where it came from
I bet it's like throwing one of those those Frankenstein switches, you know those yeah levers probably one time
It was on that thing. Yeah, there must be some guy
Who's like the Foley guy that everyone looks up to like that's the dude who came up with the
Sound when they turned on staining lights, you know the dude
He's talking to that's a guy made the gun noise sound whenever you'd move a gun
But you have to move it with hostility
Yeah, the gun makes no it makes no noise if I pull my gun out and hand it to you
That doesn't make noise like if you go, hey drop your guns
Everyone take your guns out drop your guns you pull your gun out and drop it, it doesn't make any sound.
Even if I throw you a gun, it doesn't make a sound.
But if I threaten you with it, if I lift it up to your temple, now it makes a gun sound.
But think about it, movies do have a throw and catch sound for a gun.
Well yeah.
And they do have a drop sound.
Two different sounds.
You know what I'm saying?
No.
Nobody knows what you're saying.
Forget it.
Nobody knows what you're saying.
Yes, of course, there's a sound. If you're a movie and somebody dropped shotgun it made no sound that would that be distracted
Yeah, it has a catch sound and as a drop sound but that has a that lives in nature a little bit
Yeah, you wouldn't hear it though. Probably in real life
Amplify that too. Well, they amplify car screeching them. I drew quite down
Right. All right, Drew, quiet down. I think you're not going anywhere with this.
All right.
John?
Yeah, I'm here.
John, I want to talk to you about our friends
at GoToMeeting.

Adam alright, so what's going on with you John you're dating a girl Well first of all where you going that you might save a year or 20 years you military
No, it's not military. It's uh it's for the government. I can't
Say which we just action to government double. Oh, he's a he's like some sort of
I can't say which section of government. He's a double O, he's like some sort of
covert operator, incredible.
And I just finished with the whole 18 month
interview process and got offered about three weeks ago
and I live here in LA in Brentwood with my girlfriend
who's amazing.
Nice, nice.
Now listen, I'm gonna talk about John as though
we're not talking about him, but I've treated
a bunch of CIA guys.
And strangely enough, they all sound like this one.
They're not Sean Connery.
They're nondescript, low-key.
It helps not to have a personality in that industry.
They're not great song and dance men.
Well, but they just blend in.
Yeah, see Tommy Toon wouldn't blend in. Yeah. He's too tall. He's wearing a top hat.
Tommy Toon. It's a great song and dance man. Anyway, so how long you been with the girlfriend?
See, Gary doesn't know who Tommy Toy to know you're even uh... well
for for for for jesus
uh...
about for about three years now
while
and so is the question do we break up for the she come with me can she come with
you
uh... no she couldn't
uh... my guys dangerous you know you're facing this or do you do we just
disappear one day
no uh... yeah i i i have told her and It's dangerous. Does she know you're facing this or do you just disappear one day? No, I
Have told her and
She knows I'm contemplating it and you know, I especially after that last that last
Go around you guys were just talking about narcissism and everything. I don't know. I mean, I feel like it's it's I'm currently a
Financial consultant and it pays really well, but I'll be honest it bores the living fuck out of me. And it's just always something I wanted to do, kind of like my dream job.
And I don't know what to do.
I feel like it's very, it's selfish of me almost.
Well, let me ask this.
What's your girlie do?
Does she have a career?
Yeah. What's she do? Does she have a career? Yeah.
What's she do?
She works for Universal, actually.
She's a marketer.
So she's got a career.
You have a career.
You want to chase your dreams.
How far out from kids and marriage, would you say,
you would be if you stayed here and did your financial work?
Two years. Two years.
Do you have any control over how long you stay over there?
Or once you're in, it's just, you're in,
it's gonna be what it's gonna be?
Yeah, I think the latter.
You have no control.
Are you willing to sacrifice, I mean, is it, listen.
The problem is, is he's not young, He's not old right? He's right in between
They have something that's working. Yeah, it's pretty rare in this town
But this is his dream another hand is his dream, and I'm gonna say this John if you
Let me put them on hold
Let me put them on hold. Once people start describing things in terms of this is my dream or you've destroyed my
life or whatever it is, then the burden on whatever the relationship is or was is so
powerful.
Because it's resentment.
You can never overcome it.
Right.
You're going to resent the relationship.
If you say, oh going overseas and doing this kind of covert work for the military or for the government,
that's something I've always thought about doing, then it can overcome that. That's right.
But saying, this is my dream, and now she is now the one standing between you and your dream,
and that's never gonna be a good thing in any form of relationship so now because it's your dream you must go you'll
probably be miserable and be back in 18 months right begging for her back right
but you've called it your dream if you call it a hobby or a pursuit or
something you've always thought about that's something else but if you're
going to refer to it is your dream then you have to get on that plane. These guys hire a bunch of financial guys.
Oh, the FBI.
Mm-hmm.
Financial guys, yeah, because they got to look into that money laundering.
They just have to have two guys who can follow the sense and they don't follow things.
Oh, John, so I agree with Adam, but I could not make that decision for you or even advise
you on it.
It's a very personal decision.
Nemo?
33? Yeah. Baltimore? Yeah, hey, can you guys hear me?
Yeah, it says you have a question about Humira. Do you have rheumatoid arthritis?
No, Crohn's. Crohn's is the other... Yeah.
There's one of the main reasons, like, I'm questioning it.
Well, it's a new indication for Crohn's, and it works quite well.
New medication. No, that's not new medication.
For Crohn's, you said. well. New medication? No, that's not new medication. For Crohn's you said?
It's a new indication, right?
Indication, I don't know what that means.
Meaning it's appropriate to use it for, that's indicated for that illness.
It's now in use.
Oh, so they now say it's a new use for Crohn's disease.
Yeah, and it works quite well and you're probably concerned about some of the scarier risk factors
associated with it, right?
Well, yeah, you know. It seems like I've seen a lot of commercials for that stuff lately. probably concerned about some of the scarier risk factors associated with it, right?
Yeah, you know.
It seems like I've seen a lot of commercials for that stuff lately.
Yeah, it's mostly, these are good, that whole class is very good.
I mean, it really is revolutionized treatment of autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis,
like Crohn's.
Crohn's is a disease where your immune system attacks your gut, all, mostly the small and
large bowel, but it can attack from your mouth to your anus.
It's like when someone says, I hate your your guts this is like you hating your guts.
This is you yeah you hate your own guts. Crohn's is you hating your guts and in the old days
in the old days you got listen to this it used to before we could control it it would get so
inflamed that the the bowel would adhere to the wall of the of the abdomen and break through to
the surface like like like the bowel abscessing out of itself.
It's just awful.
It's an awful illness.
It's awesome.
And so people get fistulas into their back, into their, oh, it was just horrific.
Wait a minute, Drew.
In the old days, you say?
We had Eastern medicine then.
What about the wisdom of the Orient?
The Orient could take care of it, no problem.
I don't get it because the wisdom of the Orient goes back like 2,000 years
You're only talking about a hundred a hundred and fifty years twenty twenty years. Whoa
What happened the wisdom of the Orient?
Well, we didn't the man didn't let us apply
The man had given us the right herbs. Yeah, it could cured it with herbs
Yeah, and now you got to go big pharma now. You got to go the humerous expensive drug. So sad. Yeah. Hey Nemo, you're in Baltimore. How about a little wisdom of the
Orient? You know what I mean? Well you know my girls kind of go on that route like diet and
that kind of thing. That's all well and good but my doctor feels like it's at the
stage right now where it's durable. He's recommending this drug. Yeah Nemo like it's at the stage right now where it's durable.
So he's recommending this drug.
Yeah, Nemo, it's not well and good.
Unfortunately, your girlfriend's never seen full-blown Crohn's when people's bowels are exploding out of their abdominal wall.
And that's how it used to be when people had nothing but herbs.
Nemo, we live in a very toxic environment.
You understand?
I do. The environment is toxic. Drew, that phone you're holding? We live in a very toxic environment, you understand?
I do, I do.
Drew, that phone you're holding?
Yes, toxic.
The rubber on the outside of that phone?
That's vulcanized rubber, that's toxic.
You understand?
Yes.
That sweater you're wearing has rayon in it, that's toxic.
You understand?
The glasses you're wearing, that has plastic in it, toxic.
The microphone you're speaking into
there's a foam cover on it toxic do you understand your body is a sponge okay okay okay and it
absorbed look if you took a sponge and you put it into a sink of dirty water what would
it do it would absorb all the dirty water what would it do it absorb all the dirty water absorb the dirty water okay your body's a sponge this is your sink okay okay okay
okay what would a tampon do if you dipped it in punch it would absorb the
punch okay okay you are a tampon you understand
You live in a punch bowl tampon with a sherbert thing floating in it, okay? But here's the thing your body is a sponge. Okay, you live in a toxic environment
Okay, you soak up the top of this. This is a bamboo wood grain, but it's not actually bamboo, okay?
This is plastic.
3M makes this.
You don't have to make chemicals for a living, okay?
You're putting your hands on this.
If you put your hand in acid, you would feel that, right?
What's an acid?
Oh, it's that thing that burns, a liquid that burns.
It would burn you because you absorb. Acid is a liquid that burns. No, you absorb that, right? What's an acid? Oh, it's that thing that burns, a liquid that burns. It burns, it would burn you because you absorb.
Acid is a liquid that burns.
No, you absorb that, okay?
When you touch...
I'm going to start with, people don't even know what an acid is.
It's a sponge and you absorb your environment and we live amongst toxins, okay?
Now the only way to...
Now when you wring that sponge, well then that dirty sink water comes out of it, right?
What if you were to rinse that sponge under some clean mountain water?
Okay?
Well, that's exactly what we're talking about with these enemas.
You understand?
Okay?
Okay.
Nemo!
So, here's the deal.
But here's what kills me. Here's what kills me.
When I ask people just, okay, first of all, it kills me.
You can laugh about it.
I actually have driven the distraction by it.
Yes, people, you asked me why.
Because I'll say like, okay, what's an acid?
Describe acid to me even.
They have no training.
Do you understand what an acid is?
Okay, I'm a sponge.
I'm not an acidologist.
So I'll say, just draw me the chemical formula, just the chemical formula of A toxin.
And then, show me the stoichiometric equation.
I could, but I ate red meat this week.
And I'm still kind of riding that downward.
You know, you spike, you know if you eat like-
You lived with this for 10 years.
You eat a processed food, you have that spike, that high you feel when you
eat brisket, but then you start to bottom out. I could draw you that molecule, but I'm
on a red meat bottom. I'm a super, you know what I mean? I've hit the bottom of my red
meat. Who doesn't know? You know where I am? If red meat, if it was a canyon, I would be kayaking in the bottom of it right now.
It's like Portlandia.
Okay.
Right?
I don't, I've never seen it.
It's everybody's like Portlandia.
Oh my God.
Okay, Nemo, let's get to the question.
Oh.
So, Nemo, so you're worried about lymphoma, right?
That's the big horrible side effect on your humerus, right?
It is.
Exactly.
Yeah.
It's exceedingly rare.
Yes, you have to decide with your doctor if it's worth the risk.
It's something that does happen, but it's so rare.
And I've got many, many patients on Humira whose lives have been, the trajectory of their
illnesses have been completely changed.
You get cancer from Humira?
Yeah, some kind.
There's some concern about that.
It's not actually proven yet, but it's concerned.
But it's one of these, it's better than whatever it is.
Better than your bowel splitting open
through your abdominal wall.
And better than taking prednisone,
which was the old thing for, you know,
I'm sure you're on something like that.
Now you're probably on acicol,
and are you on acicol and prednisone?
Acicol.
No, pentacetamol.
Pentacetamol, rather, I beg your pardon.
Who would name an ac...
All right.
Yeah, pentacetamol,
and that's also typical stuff for drones.
Is it controlled with the pentassin?
Not really, no.
I mean, I'm not suffering, but it just sort of keeps it at bay.
Like I can always sort of feel.
Yeah, so maybe the humerus can go for a while and get it in remission and then you go back
off it, possibly.
Nemo, how about one of those magnets you put between your box spring and your mattress?
You know your, hold on a second.
Magnet on your wrist.
Oh your wrist.
Okay picture a circuit board.
Dude that's why skin crawls when you do this stuff.
Picture a circuit board.
Your body is a circuit board.
Alright?
Okay?
It's electronic.
It's your brain.
It's a giant battery.
How do cells communicate?
It says it communicates through electricity.
Okay now what if something was to interrupt that circuit? It's a giant battery. It's a giant battery. It's a giant battery. brain is a giant battery.
It says it communicates through electricity.
Okay, now what if something was to interrupt
that circuit board?
What if I took coffee and I dumped it
all over that circuit board?
Okay, because that's what you are.
You're a sponge attached to a circuit.
You're a circuit sponge.
Okay, what if we took that circuit board and we threw it into that dirty sink water with all those tasks and blow up alright sparks
What this magnetic?
What this what this magnetic hernia trust does for me is it pulls?
You know how a man when I take a magnet, okay? Let's say there's iron shavings
When I take a magnet, okay, let's say there's iron shavings everywhere, everywhere. And I take this magnet and I put it in the middle of the iron shavings.
Well it's all drawn to it, isn't it?
What's it do?
It comes to, it pulls it to the magnet.
So instead of having these shavings everywhere, when I put on my magnetic truss, I am pulling
all of these circuits to the core oh to your chakra your
chakra chakra it's my core okay and it pulls the toxins and it was your but
you're just oh you're just one circuit board of electricity and again if a
raccoon urinated on your circuit board, what would it do?
You'd short out, wouldn't you?
Okay, that's all it is.
That's why you need the magnetic bracelet.
It pulls.
I blame all this on the lack of science education.
I really do.
Nobody is trained in science anymore, or basic biology.
Oh. I mean nobody.
We've given up on geography and science and everything
and decided that it's all about arts.
Like there's literally billboards all over Los Angeles,
one with our mayor, Tony Villar,
explaining that it was the arts and the education
that opened his mind.
First off, shop class infinitely more important
to your mind than learning to play the tuba
for a couple semesters.
I think the way I think because I think mechanically.
I have a brain where I engineer things in my mind
and I lay things out in my mind that I would have never got from doing interpretive dance
when I was in the ninth grade at fucking all.
Find this comical billboard with the guy.
Oh, by the way,
it's all we do is jack ourselves off over the arts.
Arts are wildly unimportant to kids.
They have no bearing. Sports, sports number one. Sports is number one.
Yeah, you got to dream big. Yeah, but what's the, what is it, what's, first off...
See, I love the arts though. I do. Let the pros handle it then. Yeah, but that starts a child.
Let me see what his, what his one says. We got to figure it then. Yeah, but that starts a challenge. Let me see what his one says.
We gotta figure it out.
I think the world, I think great societies
foster great art, you know what I mean?
Right, right, but they do it.
We don't need the kids, I don't need to turn my kids
on to art, they will either be, they will want to dance,
they will be musically inclined, or they won't.
I don't need to force that upon them.
No, what you do need to force upon them
is organization, sports, how to use your brain.
Piano lessons are a little bit important
in pushing them through.
If they want to, they'll do it.
All right, your kids took the piano
and he played professionally.
One's a music school.
Yeah, but he's not gonna be a professional pianist.
Probably not.
Okay, so look, did it help them with discipline?
Yes.
You could have had somebody have them do push-ups two hours a day and they would have been wildly
disciplined as well.
It's not hurting them.
It's not hurting them, but it doesn't...
There's all this data about music helping certain language development skills and stuff.
That's there.
I mean, it just is.
Look, it's...
I don't disagree with you.
I get what you're saying. It's nonstop talk about about the arts zero talk about shop class. How about science or science? People talk about engineering
That's math. How about science? How the fucking world operates how it actually works?
Not it's not it's not interested not storytelling, but true
What about being in our town? Don't you think?
I don't mean Los Angeles.
I mean being in a play.
Glass Menagerie.
Yeah.
All right.
Where is that fucking picture?
Hang on a second.
Nemo, let me go back to Nemo.
Nemo, the other thing about you, you'll probably be able to get off the humerus, which my understanding
is at least, I'm not sure this is true, but my understanding is the real risk are people
that are on humerus for long periods of time, which is like the rheumatoid arthritis patients.
So I say you work with your doctor to work out what's best for you.
All right.
Now we'll try to find the inflate.
Just what's it say?
It says dream big and then it says arts education or something.
Just tell me what it says, Mike.
Arts education fuels creative thinking.
Right.
Oh, a picture of a young Virogos.
You're a ceramics major.
Virogos failed the bar four times and then decided it was too hard and hung it up
Oh, he didn't he didn't become a learn. No, he didn't fail it four times and then pass it
He just failed it four times. Have you heard the man speak drew?
Not late. I don't really he sounds like a guy with a learning disability
Attempting to read a teleprompter after huffing on copier
toner. He's an imbecile. He sounds like an idiot. I mean, he just, you know, he does
that, oh, where's, there's, there's, there's, this individual is dangerous. He has taken three lives in cold blood.
There's never a justification for the taking of an innocent life.
What the fuck are you saying, idiot?
Give us some fucking facts or something we don't know.
Yes, he killed three people.
Yes, he did it in cold blood. We understand he didn't sneak on him give him a syringe or take them to a chamber to get to get you know
Gas to death. We understand he shot people. Yes. I know it's not justifiable. You're gonna bring him to justice
He's a complete fucking imbecile
So whatever he did should be the opposite of whatever your kids do and let's talk about shop
I agree on my behalf and we'll talk about science. Yes on my behalf, but please do you ever hear about science?
Did you ever hear about shop or is it all just about how somehow?
taking interpretive dance turns on your brain and
Let me ask you this drew dig
I don't need the mayor of Los Angeles to be creative.
I need him to be good with numbers.
Yeah.
And smart.
Yeah.
And realistic.
Not creative.
Good manager.
Yeah, I don't want that.
I want that in a cruise director.
Right.
I don't want them fucking guys running the seventh largest economy in the world.
So what is this whole emphasis on creativity? What about what don't we want a group as a society don't want people who know numbers no science no math
Well, that's no engineering no building one when everyone being creative and doing what waiting tables dirt clods
Throwing dirt clods like you were trained. Yeah
All right medical detox with Paul. Yeah Paul Paul
Hello, what's going on?
Yeah. Hey, Adam and Drew, big fans. My brother's going to flip out when he hears me on the podcast.
I'm a CADC student in my final practicum. Yeah. And lately I've been getting a lot of calls. What is that, Drew? That's a chemical dependency
counselor. No.
Yes. And?
And lately I don't know. No. Yes. And?
And, really, I don't know, maybe it's just Februaryans.
What about interpretive dance?
I mean, don't we need more of those people?
I've been getting a lot of calls from people saying that they need to know if they need
to come in for treatment, and they've been reporting this huge amount of use, and so
it's very easily like, okay, go to detox, okay, go to detox, and it's been really frequent.
I'm wondering at what threshold do I say, and is it safe to say, well, you can come on in for an assessment. We'll take a look at you this and that because
the call that I've been getting in the past couple days have been, I drink a handle a
day, I drink a pint a day, and that's just very obviously opaque or a detox.
What's a handle?
It's those bottles that are like the guy has a handle.
Oh, they call them a handle.
Yeah, they call them handles.
I got a handle on that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You need to get a handle on Mangria.
Yeah.
That could be coming.
Yeah, listen, any of them you can come in for an assessment as long as they don't stop.
And as you know, whatever they tell you is a distortion anyway.
Right.
So, with alcohol, as you well know, that's the one withdrawal that can be fatal very easily.
Right.
And should be medically managed, even if's just you know bottle of wine today
sometimes people can have
yeah people yeah I'm sorry sorry Adam people can have significant withdrawal
with relatively moderate even red wine
even red wine like a pinot noir I could find pinot yes a bottle a day you're
getting into it
um so yeah I'm not sure you you know, be circumspect.
That's spread out over a whole sports center.
Be, you know what I mean?
Be circumspect.
They're chugging it in the kitchen.
Circumstantial.
Or rarely.
About any consumption, but you know, if they're sort of on the fence about their motivation,
tell them not to stop and come in for an assessment.
All right, last call.
Reno, this is Chris from Reno.
I'm going to be at the Nugget, so check that out soon.
It's in Reno, not in Las Vegas.
You're gonna be in Reno?
I think so, that's how it works.
Yeah, Chris?
Hey, what's up?
What's up?
Hey, so a friend of mine, more co-worker than friend,
he got fired today from his job,
and he posted on Facebook that he was gonna kill himself and
I'm just wondering like kind of like what I should do about it and if it's really my
responsibility to like step in and do something.
Where did he get fired from at 19?
Oh he's not 19, he's like 25.
Oh, still.
Yeah.
Did he have a good job? Um, it was okay. He was kind of uh, we work in a museum here.
Museum? Art museum arena? He didn't get canned from Noggle's? No. Cause that's where you kill yourself.
Alright, well look, he's depressed. No, no, no, no. Whatever, you gotta take it seriously.
You take it very seriously. If you have a suicide assessment, no, no, no. Whatever. You've got to take it seriously. You take it very seriously.
If you have a suicide assessment team locally, you call them.
If you don't have that, you call the cops.
You report it, give the address.
You do not F around with this.
Look, the thing about...
If you can't do any of that, you get somebody in the home with it immediately.
Threatening suicide is like going to an airport and saying, I have a bomb.
It's like, I don't care if you're fucking around or not.
We are obligated to act upon it as a society. Yes's like, I don't care if you're fucking around or not, we are obligated
to act upon it as a society.
Yes, you take it very seriously. Not just a society, ethically, we just say you got
to take it. It's a medical emergency. It's the same thing as saying I'm having chest
pain and I can't breathe.
Right. So that's it. And if you're fucking around, you're fucking around, but you will
learn that just like saying I have a bomb at an airport.
Or a fire in a movie theater or something. That's right
Mm-hmm. All right, dr. Drew. Yeah
