The Adam and Dr. Drew Show - Old TV Show Themes, Silly Kid Songs, We Don't Respect Old People (The Adam and Dr. Drew Show Classics)

Episode Date: June 15, 2024

In this episode, Adam and Dr. Drew discuss great TV show opens, they sing silly kid songs and they wonder why old people don't get the respect they deserve anymore!

Welcome back to the Adam and Dr. Drew show classics. I am your host, Big Brother Jake aka Jake Warner, my government name, and as always, we have a great show for you. First up today, episode 1540 released on February 22nd, 2022, titled Outrage Fatigue. Adam and Drew opened the show talking about old school TV shows and the big changes that happened as the seasons go on. Adam points out the differences. Take a listen. I was watching 10 Minutes of Threes Company last night.

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh. With Suzanne Somers or the other one? It was the later one. And what you forget about that show is it was John Ritter doing 80% slapstick, crazy vaudevillian slapstick humor. Literally, he was... I tuned an episode where he had made out with the big guy's wife in the bushes and got poison ivy, and he was like, scratch like scratching all the time. The guy like, you weren't with my wife in the bushes because if you did, you'd have poison ivy. He's like,

I'm fine. It's like a scratch. It's like all over his chest and stuff. And then, but also at some point, something would change. They would like change gears and then Jack would go back to not scratching because that little vignette was over. The bit was over. Right. What I find most astonishing about that is that at the time there was zero awareness that that was what he was doing. That's the thing that's astonishing to me. That was just a situation comedy.

That was high brow television. If you look, even if you look at the two openings that Matt or Gary can find, there was the first one that had Suzanne Somers, and then later on, they shot a new opening with the new gal, and they went to the zoo, LA Zoo. And each time, John Ritter did a pratfall in the opening, you know what I mean? Wasn't a love boat thing where he stood regally by the railing and saluted the camera or something. It was him falling over.

It's weird, right? In a weird way, yes. It's bizarre. Wasn't All in the Family really the first departure from all that? That's when it sort of became... Well, that predated Three's Company. Did it really? Come on, Drew. I can't place it in time. I can't.

I didn't watch this. Well, one is kind of early-ish, 70s, mid-ish, early-ish, and the other is late-ish. See, I put them both sort of late-ish. Adam, I have an update for you. I'm going to pull up these Three's Company things. You quote tweeted the gentleman you were looking for and embarrassed him and he deleted his tweet. So that's why I can't find it. Because when you quote tweeted him, it brought a lot of attention to his account. He didn't want it. So he deleted the tweet.

This is the Gavin Newsom thing? This is the insinuate Gavin Newsom thing. Yeah. It's like Adam insinuated that through hard work and motivation and dedication that blacks and Hispanics could lift themselves out of poverty, you know, how naive. And then it's like, who's the racist here, you fucking idiots? Jesus Christ, that tweets the big problem right there.

Through studying and hard work and family, yeah, yeah. We don't have enough examples of a black and Hispanics being successful Through that modality to You know, you're not seeing that. Yeah It's such a so weird ass time. We're living in but it's it's it's kind of the death of math and information and time we're living in, but it's kind of the death of math and information and it's really just critical thinking skills. Like people just can't think straight.

It's bizarre. Why else do you think Putin took the present moment? You know, if you were him, think about what we look like. We're over here arguing about race constantly. It's like this is the greatest gift ever. It's the greatest gift ever. All right, so we have the Therese Company original opening. And I think Jack Tripper's going along the Venice Beach

or Santa Monica bike path. Strange enough trips. Yeah, no homeless. Oh yeah, oh, it's beautiful. I've never seen it like that. I remember it was it like that. I don't remember it would look like that. He's riding and a good looking girl walks by, what?

Ah! Ah, ha ha ha, little laugh. Point at the camera. We got it. So, that's the original, falls over on his bike. That was funny though, right man? You guys thought that was funny? Oh yeah, had a good laugh.

You know you're in for a good time. I was funny though, right man. You guys thought that was funny? Oh, yeah, I had a good laugh. You know You're in for a good time. I also just miss John Ritter. He's so funny Such a nice guy. I wrote a float with John Ritter. Really? Right? I Did a pilot with him and in Disney World in Florida and I I sat next to him on the airplane That's awesome. But you rode on a car or a float or something. Yeah, they had a parade but no one knew who I was. Well, I remember that.

I remember that whole experience. Right. Like, one day you will. I know. He told me all about, he told me how his dad was Tex Ritter the country star and He was not in a good mood because a book had recently come out and It was and you know what Gary you can look around for this book. It was a it was a tell-all book The date would have been was right before we started on MTV true. Yeah, they would have been like

96 Maybe the book came out in 95 late 95 early 96 it was basically just some trollop talking about all the famous guys she's fucked and Ritter was one of them and the problem was is he had Sort of left his wife for the new gal the one in the book or somebody else somebody else and he was sort of seeing her yeah of course kind of on the side sure and it was her who he's still with today or at that time yeah and she got hold of the book and she did a little timeline. Yeah, she's like, yeah, let me check. Yeah, you went to New York. That's

right. You stayed at the peninsula. And in the book, it was chronicled that at the airport, we shared a cab, we went to the peninsula. That was this date. I believe it's called You'll Never Make love in this town again by Lois Lee Actually Lois Lee just did the preface but it was first released March 96 who did I think it's what's her name? It says here look by Lois Lee preface Joanne parent Terry Maxine Frankel and Jenny Louise Frankel, so it's just a Maxine Frankel and Jenny Louise Frankel. So it's just a bunch of celebrities who have had sex with her or somebody else. And they're just going to, I don't know, that'd be interesting to look into that book.

But the point is, is that was a quaint day when you needed a book to distribute that kind of information. Right. Yeah. That was March 96. And this must have been slightly after that. Yeah, but it wasn't six months after that He was dealing with it. You know, we were on a plane to Tampa and Books or magazines that would be how the shit got out. Yeah. Well every sitcom you had to go buy up all the magazines

You know, right in the newsstand, right? They know what you're talking about. He he was kind of caught and we were heading to Tampa and it was weighing on us. So that must have been March, April 96. And then I don't know when the hell we started MTV, but it was- 96, right then.

We might've already been like filming or something. Nothing had aired yet. I don't think. Yeah, nothing aired, no. I was just unknown. But you were on the radio with me because I remember discussing it in the old Westwood One studio. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.

But I was sort of a nobody, and Ritter was Ritter. He was very kind, very friendly. Yeah, you said you liked him. I liked him a lot. And hang on, one more thing about what's up there on the screen. Look at that. Season 8 episode 156. Wow.

Does that mean they had 156? That couldn't be, that must be the total number of episodes ever done across eight seasons, right? I don't know what you're asking me. These days they go season eight episode 12. Okay, yeah, I'm just checking. So I'm like- That's an insane question.

You're implying that there's 156 episodes in one- Per year or so? I don't know if it's- True. It's a fucking sitcom that comes on Friday night. Once a week. What town do you live in? What year is it?

Look, those days. What's your profession? All right. That's it. So let's see the later version of the opening. All right. Second Pratt Fall. Brand new LA Zoo.

Hot looking chick walks by. Oh! Hot looking chick walks by. It's the same story, right? Hot chick wearing cutoffs walks by, he's checking her out and is foiled, right? Wow. It's so crazy. That was a number one hit, everybody. That was like dominated the airwaves. That thing, Matt, that probably got 20 million viewers on a Friday night.

When the country had 200 million citizens, we're 330 now. We had a much smaller pool. Did you see, I watched the Ricardo's, which was very good. Literally 10% of the country watched that on a Friday night. On that movie. They didn't DVR it. They sat there and watched. There was no DVR.

You go to the bathroom during the commercials, run back. Yeah, because it was a broadcast. That's all you had. But the idea of recording it was like impossible. But some sort of voodoo. How would you record it? On your Super 8 camera at the screen? But on the Ricardo's series, the Hulu series, they said that on the heyday of I Love Lucy, it was 60 million viewers. Lucy? They said that on the heyday of I love Lucy. It was 60 million viewers Lucy. I love Lucy 60 million with a with a hundred and forty million dollars hundred forty million Americans Is this a doc? No, it's a it's a movie. It's a multi-part series with

Bardem But what's that a feature? Yes. It was, it was, that's right, it's just like a two-hour film. It's a two-hour and five-minute feature. Long haulers, boy. Being the Ricardius. No, no kidding. No, shit. Nicole Kidman plays Lucille Wall. Nicole Kidman. It's a film. It's a film. But it's on Hulu, it's on Hulu. Okay. It's actually on Amazon Prime. Prime. Got it wrong. Thank you. All right. I'll take over. Yeah, please you get some rest I I would dispute they had 60 million when we had 180 million Gary look that up

They look here's the problem with movies it's like I remember one time when I was Taking over for Howard Stern on klsx it's like the first three months and it wasn't going well and Baby doll my agent said you know what? Howard Stern the average listenership, you know my average listenership It's you know, 39 minutes or something like Howard Stern's average listenership is, you know

250 million those are 250,000 or sorry 250 minutes those are maybe I got long-haul those are amongst his fans against the the ones who don't like them they listen for 300 minutes a morning and I was like yeah baby they said that in a movie right that's not what is. Welcome back to the Adam and Dr. Drew Show Classics. Up next, we have episode 1377, released January 2nd, 2021, titled It's On in Orange County. The fellas reminisce about funny songs in their childhood and how Adam used to create things out of junk. Here we go. I took your pants away, pants away, and while you're standing there, I took your underwear.

God, we were creative when we were kids. Yes. Do you guys have the Tararara boom da? I don't know if we did, but I feel like I've heard it many times over the years now. It's, it's locked into my subconscious about the pants and underwear. Congratulations. Yeah. Gary Tararara, Tararara boom da. At this point I have to, I have to assume it's from this building Well that one died off then but some of the other ones still stuck around We had we had a place in France where the naked ladies dance In a hole in the wall where the men could see at all Jingle bells and Batman smells That has never gone you gotta understand we things that entertained us

Wohlful Well, it's a good point never gone anywhere. You gotta understand, things that entertained us, woeful. Well, it's a good point. My kids don't need that shit. They got big color TV sets and high def everything and they're not, what are they doing? Yeah. Trying to think, like, I remember, I was a little bit of an inventor when I was a kid. Oh, I'm an inventor but I had this unyielding desire to like Create things Mechanical things. Yeah, I wanted things and I never had anything nor did I have any tools So it was this bizarre

thing of like loving to cook but never having a stove or ingredients, you know, but I love to cook. So it was this kind of perpetual state of dissatisfaction, frustration. And it was a lot of like... You did get to act it out a little bit with the bicycle though by collecting the pieces that you were going to put together. Yeah, I was constantly walking through hobby stores and like looking at the big box up top with the hydroplane boat kit, you know, and just be staring at it.

But that kind of stuff, you didn't even ask for that. That was like, why don't you ask for Rolls Royce? You know what I mean? Like, you wouldn't even entertain that, but maybe you could get a little part of a motor or battery or something and try to figure out how to put something together. But nothing ever worked because I didn't have tools,

I didn't have skill, and I didn't have parts, and I didn't have tools I didn't have skill and I didn't have parts and I didn't have a mentor I didn't have a guy going all right let's let's get this done you know I'm they like I don't think people you know I was sitting around my house the other day and my daughter came in and, I got this mirror from Pottery Barn Teen and I got this other mirror and can you put it up in my bedroom? And I was like, yeah. And I just went and got my cordless drill

and the cartridge with the magnetic cartridge with the number two screw tip on it. And I know so much. I know how I was gonna anchor it to the wall cartridge with a magnetic cartridge with a number two screw tip on it and I Know so much I think I know how I was gonna anchor it to the wall if we found a stud if we didn't find a stud Or what the what to do. I I decided it was funny. I was like, I'm not gonna find a stud I'm just gonna put in a screw shield and Put the screw in the screw shield. I like to find a stud But the stud would be off the mark of where she wanted it It's kind of interesting. You know, I said screw shield those things that go in the war and spread

Yeah, or that's like a toggle bolt. Yeah some version of that some anchoring system, you know But yes a couple things like first thing I said was you want this round mirror on the wall that lights up You want this other mirror, you know this long oblong shape I said take a piece of tape put it on the wall and put it on the round mirror Put it right in the middle of where you want that mirror and then put it there and then step back and look at it I want to know this is where you want it and then we'll figure out for one high or lowest So first you decide put that mark on the wall. She did I then went in and Thought I was gonna go with a screw shield

so I Just was drilling a hole in the drywall in order to sort of put this screw threaded screw shield in there and The second the drill bit went through the drywall that immediately hit something. And I knew it wasn't a stud. It had a little flex in it. And because I'm trained, I was like, oh, this wall's been shear wall. This wall's got plywood on it. And now I know I can put the screw anywhere I want. There's plywood. Is that the plywood you were hitting? Yeah, I was hitting the plywood because I knew I was in a bay. I wasn't on a stud, but yet I hit wood and that just meant shear wall. Somebody sure. How do you know you didn't

hit a pipe or something? Nah, but feel different. You'd hear it was up at a height that I don't know. It didn't really suggest it was there. And before I started, I thought, I wonder if they shear walled this wall. It's a fairly new house. They may have called out to shear wall it, and sure enough they did. Anyway, hung it, hung the other mirror, took 20 minutes, 14 minutes to do both of them,

and then my daughter was happy. And then of course I had to do what I always do, where I go, it must be nice for you to live with somebody who has the skill set right and she goes. Oh, yeah Yeah, I still take it for granted but yeah, it's nice but it is I Mean what you don't you you would like to live with someone who had the skill set of carpentry? But not you wouldn't want that for your income You'd want them to be a doctor comedian or whomever

Happened to be a car but happened to be a carpenter. That's that's kind of what you I think that's what you'd like You know, you satisfy those criteria. Well, that's her. Yeah I sure they appreciate it. Yeah always like like anyway anything the appreciation It's overwhelming. I it's embarrassing It's embarrassing like when I was done with that movie theater. Which isn't really... Oh, the praise. They never stopped keeping praise. They never stopped. But you know what is funny about people who, if you build them a movie theater, they don't say anything.

If you ever call them out on it, they go, what do you mean? I love it. I told you a thousand times. It's like, you did? Of course I on it. They go, what do you mean? I love it. I told you a thousand times. It's like, you did? Adam Lichman Of course I appreciate it. Jeff Bezos They do. Of course I appreciate it. But yeah, well, make it manifest itself in the form of an omelet. Adam Lichman But I've noticed that appreciation, it's funny, I was having some thoughts about this the other day. Appreciation is in short supply. Gratitude and appreciating, and those are very important and healthy emotions.

Gratitude especially is a healthy emotion, but appreciation is something I'd not really given much thought to and I found myself thinking about that lately. And it is, I hate to keep pointing at the millennials, but it is sort of a millennial thing where they don't appreciate anything that's been done for them. You know, I'm wondering how your kids' generation is going to, probably the same, right? Well, okay. If you are a unique individual and no one else in the world is like you and you are our future and you are the coolest.

Then why shouldn't you expect people come in and hang a mirror for you? Why would you appreciate that? Well, and it goes back to something we talked about in the last show, I think, which was the idea of finding your muse as opposed to finding work. Find work and do it. There's something pure in that that gets people's priorities kind of lined up. Yeah. And so when I was wanting to invent and I had my room out on the porch, I had an old chest of drawers and in it was a drawer that I labeled the everything drawer.

Oh, never heard about this. I probably brought it up once or twice. Playboys go in there too? Where would I get a playboy? I'm just saying. Young males in those days were very resourceful about that stuff. I did. Now I put, I don't know, any bits and pieces of metal or bracket or wire motor anything that came off of something, you know what I did is like I'd have a friend and he'd have a little

Battery operated little tank model or something and then he'd be at his house and the tread would be off one side And be in the closet and I kind of go what's up? Oh, it's broken, you know and I'd go oh could I yeah, could I have that and go yeah, it's broke You know and I go okay, and then I'd bring it home I like take the motor out of it and try to figure out something to do with it You know but again, I there was no skill. Yeah set and I had no tools and I had no mentors So it's a it's an interesting You know competence it's kind of a it's it's kind of a it makes you feel secure It's an interesting, you know, competence. It's kind of a, it makes you feel secure, but it makes the kids feel secure.

So like, I always, like, I'm not Johnny on the spot for many things, but if my kids ever go, hey, can you hang this thing up? Or can you fix the whatever? My son gets a flat tire in his mountain bike. Can we patch the tire? I was like, let's do it. Let's do it now. And then when we're done, I go, see, these are skills. You can, you can get these skills. You can develop them as well. But you live with someone who has these skills I can put a patch on your bike tire and my son's chain broke or something on his mountain bike or whatever and I bought a new chain and got the master link and I got a chain

break I think I got a massive literally you had to shorten the chain and I knew from back in the day that there's a chain brake tool where you screw it and you push the pin out and you take out three or four links and put it back together with the master link and it's like I knew all that shit, went down to the bike store and did it. And I want my kids to think, I want them to think that way of me. Because when I think of my dad I go, ugh, ugh, what a fucking waste, Jesus Christ. I Want them to think that way of me because when I think of my dad I go What a fucking waste Jesus Christ. I want them to go. Oh my dad could fix anything Here's what they're gonna think he shamed me every time he did something made me feel less than because he told me see you could Be like this, but you're not

That'll be in their memory No, don't worry They're gonna do that my dad I've talked enough kids where they go, adults, I should say, go, my dad could fix anything. But probably not. When did you learn the car skills and how did that happen? I have always had an unyielding desire to tinker, apart and mess with yeah Mechanically which which makes me hate my parents even more because they never fed they never fed it You know what I mean? It was like a zero of well, why don't we get this guy some tools?

You know, I mean that they're relatively inexpensive and it was so busy for our shop or something Oh, well that that would have been unthinkable. But I mean, like a tool set. You know, the thing, the reason my parents are horrible is a basketball hoop, a tool set, a couple of, a football, a couple of things which just kept me busy the whole time. It would have been the best 20 bucks you ever spent in your life because you didn't want to hang out. You don't want to talk. You don't want to do stuff.

But this would have occupied me. We'll be right back with more of the Adam and Dr. Drew show classics. Welcome back once again to the Adam and Dr. Drew show classics. Last up for today we have episode 1324 released December 18th, 2019 titled, Is Anyone a Fan of Old People Anymore? Adam and Drew discuss the issue of people not respecting their elders and how bad narcissism is nowadays. The car-a-ra-boom-de-ay, I took your pants away, pants away, and while you're standing

there, I took your underwear. God, we were creative when we were kids. Yes. Do you guys have the ta-ra-ra-ra-boom-dee-ay? I don't know if we did, but I feel like I've heard it many times over the years now. It's locked into my subconscious. About the pants and the underwear?

Yeah. Congratulations. Yeah. Gary ta-ra-ra-ra-boom-dee-hmm. Congratulations. Yeah Gary tarara Tarara boom, dear at this point. I have to I have to assume it's from this building Well that one died off then but some of the other ones still stuck around We had we had a place in France where the naked ladies dance Hole in the wall where the men could see at all Jingle bells Batman smells

wall where the men could see it all. Jingle bells and Batman's mouth. That is that has never gone. You gotta understand things that entertain us. Wohfel. Well, it's a good point. My kids don't need that shit. They got big color TV sets and high def everything and they're not what are they doing? Yeah. I'm trying to think like I remember I was a little bit of an inventor when I was a kid. Oh.

I'm an inventor but I had this unyielding desire to like create things, mechanical things. Yeah. I wanted things and I never had anything nor did I have any tools So it was this bizarre thing of like Loving to cook but never having a stove or ingredients, you know, but I love to cook like so it was this kind of perpetual state of dissatisfaction frustration and and and it was a lot of like...

You did get to act it out a little bit with the bicycle though by collecting the pieces that you were going to put together. Yeah I was constantly walking through hobby stores and like looking at the big box up top with the hydroplane boat kit you know and just be staring at it but that That kind of stuff that you didn't even ask for that. That was like As for Rolls Royce, you know what I mean? Like you wouldn't even they wouldn't even entertain that but but but maybe you could get a little part

Motor or battery or something and try to figure out how to put something together But nothing ever worked because I didn't have tools. I didn't have skill and I didn't have parts and I didn't have a mentor. I didn't have a guy going All right, let's let's get this done. You know, I mean like I don't think people you know, I was sitting around my house the other day and my daughter came in and said I got this mirror from pottery barn teen and I got this other mirror and can you put it up in my bedroom and I was like, yeah, and I just went and got my cordless drill and the cartridge with the magnetic cartridge

It's an interesting, you know, competence. It's kind of a, it makes you feel secure,

but it makes the kids feel secure. So like, I always, like, I'm not Johnny on the spot for many things but if my kids ever go hey can you hang this thing up or can you fix the whatever my son gets a flat tire in his mountain bike or can we patch the tire most like let's do it let's do it now and then when we're done I go see these are skills. You can get these skills, you can develop them as well, but you live with someone who has these skills. I can put a patch on your bike tire, and my son's chain broke or something on his mountain bike or whatever,

and I bought a new chain and got the master link, and I got a chain break. I don't think I got a master. Okay, literally you had to shorten the chain and I knew from back in the day that there's a chain break tool where you screw it and you push the pin out, you can take out three or four links and put it back together with the master link. And it's like, I knew all that shit, went down the bike store and did it. And I want my kids to think, I want them to think that way of me. Because when I think of my dad, I go, ugh, ugh, what a fucking waste, Jesus Christ.

I want them to go, oh, my dad can fix anything. Here's what they're going to think. He shamed me every time he did something. Made me feel less than because he told me, see, you could be like this, but you're not. That'll be in their memory no don't worry they're gonna do that my dad I've talked enough kids where they go adults I should say go my dad could fix anything but probably did you learn the car skills and how did that happen I went I have always had a unyielding desire to tinker take apart

and mess with yeah mechanically which which makes me hate my parents even more because they never fed they never fed it you know what I mean it was like a zero of well why don't we get this guy some tools you know I mean they're relatively inexpensive and keep him busy for our shop or something. Oh, well, that would have been unthinkable. But, but I mean, like a tool set, you know, the thing, the thing, the reason my parents are horrible is a basketball hoop, a tool set, a couple of football, a couple of things which has kept me busy the whole time.

It would have been the best 20 bucks you ever spent in your life because you didn't want to hang out, you didn't want to talk, you didn't want to do stuff, but this would have occupied me.
