Starting point is 00:00:00 This is Corolla Digital. Recorded live at Corolla One Studios with Adam Corolla and board certified physician and addiction medicine specialist Dr. Drew Pinsky. You're listening to the Adam and Dr. Drew show Yes, get it on Get it on a choice, but to get on mandate. Okay. Thank you so much for tuning in and As per usual thanks in advance for telling a friend and giving us a nice ranking on iTunes and of course donating to the show.
Starting point is 00:00:45 We love that because Drew's got a problem with the booger sugar. And, but it's about 300 bucks a day, whatever it takes. Six. Six, ooh, it's going up, so it's a lovely one. Anyway, you go to the- I'm not smoking anymore. I'm not smoking anymore.
Starting point is 00:01:00 It's more. That's right. It's more. Go to, he's just doing the butt chug. Mangria. No, ooh, I like the Mangria butt chug. Has anyone ever done the butt chug where they're dumping the cocaine look out of a sugar sack into the, and then what would that do? Don't answer, think about it. You people go to the Adam and Drew page and click on the PayPal donate button if you'd like to give generously. Thank you. What would it do
Starting point is 00:01:31 if you did the butt chug, you did the funnel and you dumped the cocaine down? I honestly don't know. I've counted people that do the alcohol butt chug but not the cocaine butt chug. So I don't even know the absorptive potential there. I don't know. But it's a yuppies membrane. Yeah, yeah, it probably absorbs it, yeah. I mean, I don't know offhand, I just don't have never seen it. Right.
Starting point is 00:01:52 But it sounds horrific. It sounds like you have a heart attack in five minutes. Well, it is a weird. Yes, it's weird, yes. No, no, it's weird. Don't say it anymore, I dig, it's weird. No, no, but look look it'd be a great scene for the next Tarantino movie Which is you have?
Starting point is 00:02:11 The guy on the ground with the funnel Right. Yeah Would be a torture. No No, here's here's the thing. There's thing. All right picture this Here's the thing. All right, picture this. Picture this for the Tarantino movie. Oh, I gotta write movies. This is great of mine, just going to waste here
Starting point is 00:02:30 with this podcast. Guy, Tarantino movie, right? Guy tied down in basement like the GIMP scene. He's tied down, he's chained down, right? He's on his belly. Bruce Willis, on his belly. Big funnel up the arse. In the keister. Above funnel, bucket on a rocking thing filled with a kilo of cocaine. You know what I mean? With a thick piece of rope going to the
Starting point is 00:03:04 handle, holding the bucket upright. When the rope, rope going to the handle, holding the bucket upright. But when the rope, when you cut the rope, it turns, dropping the cocaine into the butt funnel. Rope goes to the side. Holy butt sugar, Batman. Goes to the side, tied off, candle put under the rope. That candle can burn for one hour
Starting point is 00:03:26 before that rope will catch on and he will OD. It's a cost efficient way to kill somebody. The way you will die is by ODing on cocaine if, you know. The guy needs to be a full on cocaine addict that's, you know, they're doing this to. Oh, he's recovering Oh, he's got he's got three years. Who's the villain? The villain is society man
Starting point is 00:03:53 Us it's us. Don't you see no the villain? Will figure her her or him him or her. Oh Well, it takes out a new dimension. Well, it's very interesting because in a real dark, weird role, Kathy Griffin, but like you've never seen her before. Do you know what I'm saying? Like, like, like he's dressed like the devil with fire going. No, just, it's just, it's a heavy, just, it's just the same thing Tarantino did with Travolta, you know, he used to seeing him as Vinny Barberino, and now he's this heroin addict who runs drugs and all that. Kathy Griffin. Yeah, and she is going to need this information, you know, that he has.
Starting point is 00:04:34 You know, launch codes. I don't know what it is, but the point is, is that candle's now lit, and it's burning. And once that rope catches fire, and the bucket overturns into the funnel that's up Bruce Willis' ass. The Kathy Keister torture. That's it. It's over. You understand? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:53 All right, Drew, anything? Or should we just hop on some phone calls? I was just thinking about something. You skip your rope every day, and you wear the headset when you're doing that, right? Oftentimes, yeah. You listen to music, right? Yes.
Starting point is 00:05:07 You need to go to iTunes U and start downloading lectures and things. Seriously, you don't need to go to college anymore. Why is that so funny to the robots? They just broke into hysterics. Yeah. I think it's funny probably because you're plugging someone else's thing, or I don't know. That's funny, the idea that Adam's going to iTunes U and downloading stuff is funny. I think he I think it's funny probably because you're plugging someone else's thing or I don't know
Starting point is 00:05:25 That's funny the idea that Adams going to iTunes you and downloading stuff. I think he would love it I think he would love it. I would and I should And he would bring stuff here with you all that stuff would bring you'd bring it in, you know You know, it's weird. You know, it is one thing that's weird about me, but there's a balance Drew And it's and it's true. It's true. There needs to be a balance. You tell me.
Starting point is 00:05:49 Dig. Dig. Dig. Dig me complimenting myself for doing nothing. God, I've never heard that. Okay. You know, young man, Gria, you get going with that shit. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:59 You do. I know. I was boasting yesterday or a few days back. It lasted for a few days. Yeah. It lasted for a few days, yeah. Yeah, it lasted for a few days. No, but listen, I... Not that you didn't deserve it. No, I'm a... Look.
Starting point is 00:06:11 It's realistic. I'm a mechanical genius and... And we're gonna know it. Well, here's the thing. What drives me nuts, and you and I have talked about this, I explain to people in very painstaking detail what to do because I understand how to do it and then I show up and Gary's hacked up not half-tard, full-tard Gary, cut a whole bunch of two-by-fours for something that I
Starting point is 00:06:37 said, rip up some plywood and do it this way. I never mentioned two-by-fours. I understand what I'm doing. I don't think people understand. I have said this many times and I truly believe it. I understand that I don't look that competent. I understand that. Neanderthal, I think we all great. Whatever it is, I don't visually instill a lot of confidence in my competent, but I'm insanely competent when it comes to a multitude of things. Now, it's not data entry. I never say it is, but if I say I'm building
Starting point is 00:07:20 something or I'm doing something, leave me alone. I know what I'm doing. Maybe it is not the appearance, but the delivery. Because Gary Fultar certainly knows your competent. And yet somehow he's not receiving the full effect of that competency, you know what I'm saying? Either he is impaired in his listening. He's impaired in that he thinks, look, here's how people here's how people work People should work this way when Peter shall people work
Starting point is 00:07:51 They've Dave the the pilot has been knocked out and the co-pilot this has food poisoning and now you're flying the airplane and There's a guy on the ground telling you how to land that airplane flying the airplane and there's a guy on the ground telling you how to land that airplane. You should not be ignoring that guy and thinking, I know how to fly planes. Hey, flaps at 22 degrees? That's your opinion. Do you know what I'm saying? Oh, I do because I'm often trying to fly planes and people think they know how to fly.
Starting point is 00:08:22 The problem is, is I do talk to guys who have a fair amount of seat time in a Cessna, and I say to them, let me help you bring this 737 to the ground, and they go, yeah, yeah, I got it. And I go, here's how you do it. And they go, understood. And then they just go to doing what they do. Part of that is, and this is something we're as physicians are drilled into our head all the time, is that under the best of circumstances, people take away 20%. They've actually studied this. 20% of what you say to them. So you have to repeat stuff, repeat over and over and over. I just heard a fifth of what you just said.
Starting point is 00:08:58 I just heard the study part and then I fell off. You and I are exquisite listeners because we've done this on the radio for years, something like that, and most people are not. Listening is a very strange, acquired skill. Right. And people don't know that. No, it's... People think they listen.
Starting point is 00:09:22 They think they listen and they hear. And I've heard it. And look, I can do it, we've all done it. We've all done the thing where my wife says, you're not listening, you're not listening to what I'm saying and I parrot back exactly what she just said. But she's right, I'm not listening. I'm able to parrot it back because that's a different function. Listening but not hearing. Hearing but not listening.
Starting point is 00:09:43 It's whatever you're not... I'm physically, yeah, I'm physically hearing... Receiving the tones, I'm just not processing it. Physically hearing what you're saying, but I'm not processing it and or acting appropriate. Or putting it in the memory file when I should be. Right, right. So, well, one can argue the validity of should be memory file. That's now where your Cessna guys are kicking in going, I'll just fill in the gaps, what
Starting point is 00:10:11 I don't remember. Right. Right. Right. But, you know, hearing that Sonny's a little behind in his reading skills is like, I don't need to file that away somewhere. He's a bright boy. He'll do fine. He has a tutor. Yeah, just stay in denial. That's right. boy, he'll do fine. He has a tutor. Yeah, just stay in denial, that's right. Yeah, he'll land on his feet. Sure, denial.
Starting point is 00:10:29 Now, a couple things, Drew. Yes, people, look, how many times you guys done this? How many times you done this? Speaking of this, 20%, yeah, on a good day. You say to people, you send someone an email, you know, they go dinner and You with a question mark and you go awesome Where
Starting point is 00:10:54 What and when you know, they send you an email back a mouthy your restaurant You write back When what I wrote you an email that had two fucking questions on it. Where, you want to see Django Unchained, and what time, what theater? You write back, yes, I want to see the movie. Now I have to write you back again saying, I usually start with fuckwad, what theater, and what time. Which by the way was represented in my first email.
Starting point is 00:11:33 How many times, if you ask two questions on an email, you will get a response to one of them a lot of times. You ask three or more, you're batting, it's way, way down. And this is a written email. And by the way, I may, I may be windy in the studio, but not when it comes to typing. My emails have nine words in them. You know, it doesn't take. That's a novel for you. Yes. Opus. That is my opus. So the point is there's nothing here. There's when and where you answer one of the two questions. So what's going on with that person, Drew? And we all know the people who never do that. Well, let me do the never do what? Who would
Starting point is 00:12:19 never reply. I have a short list of human beings you're on that list yeah of people who would never reply to yeah I want to see the movie too I would only do that with the with the expectation or leaving the door open either implicitly explicitly for you to set the time right you never have a fee what time I would go a mouthy wet right but you would never there's many many times when you have to do the follow-up email for the one that had two simple questions and not only two simple questions, the other one had nothing to do with the nailing schedule on Shearwall. Like, I want to know if you want to
Starting point is 00:12:58 see Django and I want the nailing schedule on Shearwall. It wasn't a right field question, it would be a follow-up question to the exact thing that would be part of the process of seeing this movie or going to this. Stranger, I think you'd be more likely to get them both answered if they were so diverse. You know what? You're right. Yeah. Yep. Because it catches their attention. Right. Speaking of those. Twelve in the field, six inches on the seams.
Starting point is 00:13:24 Six inch on? Not even on center, just six inches on the seams. Six inch on. Not even on center, just six inches down the thing. All right, but so listen, Drew. Yeah. I don't listen, I dig. Dig. I should check out the iTunes, iAcademy. iTunes U.
Starting point is 00:13:37 iTunes U. U, yeah. And go to Berkeley and Yale, and Berkeley and Yale's are really good. They have so much shit in there. You should listen to Lil Prager U while you're at it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I will. That guy's really right guy. Yeah, I wanna bring him on my podcast in fact, so I will.
Starting point is 00:13:50 Okay, so now, Drew. Dick. Dick. You're right, and I love information, and I love that stuff. On the other hand, and you tell me where the balance is, because I do need information and in reading articles and hearing about what other people, people tweet me stuff, you know, 140 characters,
Starting point is 00:14:14 that brings a lot of stuff in. Yeah. Sometimes less. Hopefully. This way you don't have to read. You're a good listener. You just listen to lectures. I am who I am because I've never read a book. I never had a person tell me anything. I've had no advice. You've had to deduce everything. My dad never said like, son, sit down. There's two kinds of ladies out there. It's like, you're fucking nuts.
Starting point is 00:14:40 I've never had a conversation with anybody in my family that I would consider meaningful. And I've never had my friends, you know, incredible doofus jackoffs, it just, you know, they got the 99 cent grand slam down at Denny's so we can get three of those for three bucks. Like that's the intellectually that's about the height of the conversations I've had. Or this chick's a cunt, dude the conversations I've had or this chicks a cunt dude like I've had a few of those I Don't I
Starting point is 00:15:11 Have gotten where I am by by taking in almost nothing Certainly not from the educational system right I was Wearhoused this is I never get some back. I There now it's on the internet. And I dig. I dig. But I also realized I formed my own process and creative process by not walking through other people's museums and staring at the walls, but by trying to create my own museum. What would that museum be called? The Genius Academy.
Starting point is 00:15:50 And it would never be closed. And all would be welcome except for Puerto Ricans. It's my academy. I get to do what I want with it. LA Corolla, LACMA. The point is this. LA Corolla Museum of Art. The thing is, I learned to process and think in a certain way because I had nothing coming
Starting point is 00:16:13 in. Yes, but you have that mind that did carefully is deducing and concluding and you're doing that all the time. Yeah, I just basically I sit around. It's like the compass. It's your compass. It's like it's confined due north all the time. What I do is I sit around all day
Starting point is 00:16:27 and I stare at the spider that's on the ceiling of my bedroom every summer night. And I think to myself, why is there a spider on the ceiling every night and not on the wall? And then I realize the wall is painted in semi-gloss paint and the ceiling is flat. And the spider gets traction on the flat paint, where he doesn't get traction on the semi-gloss paint.
Starting point is 00:16:53 And then I start coming up with ideas about coating the ceiling with a semi-gloss clear substance to keep the spider off from above my bed. But if I was just knee deep in another episode of House, I don't think I would come up with that idea. Right. But I do listen to Freakonomics. When you like Prager. And I enjoy Prager and others.
Starting point is 00:17:21 It triggers you to think on a different way. Absolutely. So there is that room. But I do like when I skip my rope I Listen to music and I formulate thoughts. I try to go. All right I I do the podcast in the evening I skip my rope in the early evening and I sit there and I just sort of think I put nothing on I put You know, I put TV on and it's it's just sports highlights with the sound down and I just listen to Graham Parker and I think what what do I want to get into? And I'm not saying I want to substitute or diminish those those meditative
Starting point is 00:17:58 experiences but I'm saying there's another plateau that I think might bring out some interesting stuff. Yeah, you're right and it's about mixing them. Yeah, but I do think the sounds of silence and Look if you're if you're meditation, yes, it's a big deal If you're if your brain is, you know an outboard motor fuck it Pack it with as much excitement as you possibly can. But if you have anything above a V6, go ahead and stop bombarding yourself with information or infotainment or just entertainment. And I worry about my kids and about the steady stream, and we've talked about this and we'll continue to talk about it
Starting point is 00:18:46 of information that just comes piling into their brain all the time. I mean they sit around, they play video games, when you get in the car they got their little iPhone, I whatever and they're playing it in the car and they're just something's coming at them all the time. The sitting around, I mean, look, I don't know where we'd be if Thomas Edison had an iPad and a 60-inch television and an unstoppable stream of information coming through it, but I think we'd be fucked, because I think he'd just be beaten off to you porn. I know, as a matter of fact Thomas Edison and Tesla would have both just watched you porn and beat off all that. They invented moving pictures. Wanted to beat off to
Starting point is 00:19:37 something that's that's true that's true so that that that's So that's what happened. I mean, and that's what is gonna happen. And I'm kinda worried about the kids I know. never really coming up with their own thoughts. And that's why, by the way, when they're watching Dora the Explorer, I'm like, get this cunt off the screen.
Starting point is 00:20:12 And they're like, we like Dora. And I know this is shit. It's junk. It's garbage. And they say to me, hey, we remember, you know, they, you know, they like, you know, you know, Phineas and Ferb funny. I'll tell them watch The Simpsons. And, and my nanny Olga, she doesn't like The Simpsons, and I say listen, I want them exposed to some quality art. I mean even if they don't get it, even if they're not mature enough to understand it, I want what's coming off of that screen to be good, not the super boring, fucked out piece of shit that is Caillou or Dora the Explorer Hiding behind your fucking multicultural bullshit with your zero creativity
Starting point is 00:20:51 You're fucking great to the to the makers of Dora the Explorer. You are creatively bankrupt You hide behind this multicultural lesson where you say everything in English and Spanish do not Kid yourself and please understand you're not fooling me. I know your creative hacks. You do a job that literally the monkey, the fucked out monkey sidekick could do. So creative. A monkey sidekick. Geez, who's ever heard of that? Oh wait a minute speed racer from 1966 You guys are on the vanguard of creativity you guys hide behind your fucking feel-good
Starting point is 00:21:32 multicultural fucking message your creative hacks and if you ever ever Had to go out into the real world and compete if you ever had to go into real Hollywood and create things for adults, fuck adults, teenagers, you would immediately be crushed because you do not possess talent or creativity. Fuck you people and don't give me that it's for five-year-olds. You can make good things for five-year-olds. You guys are hacks and worse, you're fucking sellout hacks. All you're doing is
Starting point is 00:22:05 cashing checks, making a creative pile of shit to numb the brains of a new generation of youngsters who are coming into this society and you're fucking hammering those checks. You're like some kind of fucking organization. You're like it's like you're UNICEF except for you're spending all the money on coke. You hide behind this thing like it's all about're UNICEF except for you're spending all the money on coke you hide behind this thing Okay, it's all about the kids you create a piece of shit that does them no good. Oh, it's a fucking Fox Who steal it's? 2013 it's a Fox
Starting point is 00:22:36 The Fox he's gonna bandit. He's got the bandit. He's got the he's he's got the bandit mask on He's a swiper. The Fox! He's a swiper. Stop swiping. You guys are so creatively bankrupt. Hang it up. Get some fucking dignity and just get a job at a fucking cannery.
Starting point is 00:22:57 Or do something. Do something that doesn't involve your zero creativity. And one of you, one of you, you disagree with me? Write a book! Write a comedy book for adults! See how many units fly off the shelf you fucking bankrupt hacks. Well I hear that you're upset mostly because of- Other than that I have zero feelings about- What it's exposing your kids to it. But there's something interesting about what you're saying
Starting point is 00:23:20 is like let's consider the great artistic the great expressions of history artistically like Florence in the you know 17th 18th century or Paris the 19th century they've just exposed the kids to that it's right doors to Giberti's doors were what they took their kids to they didn't have the kids Giberti's doors to Gavartese doors on ice. Right, they just had, here, we're going to the Duomo and exposing you to the cultural richness, the awe of all this, and the more you're exposed to it, the younger, probably the more romantic expression you develop.
Starting point is 00:23:59 Yeah, they didn't have a Louvre for tiny Tykes with a bunch of fucking stick figures. They just had art and they had music. And it's funny, my daughter, who I made great efforts to expose my kids to this stuff when they were younger, now they're starting to appreciate it and they're pissed at themselves. Like oh my God, thank you for exposing it to me. I didn't fully appreciate it. Now I appreciate it. Well, look.
Starting point is 00:24:22 If they hadn't seen it then... Obviously, look, sitting around and watching Caillou, which is just a fucking pile of shit, and even Scooby Doo and all that other mind-numbing bullshit. Which we did a lot of, didn't we? Yeah, and especially Dora the Explorer. They hide behind the, well look, we're teaching them basic language, whatever. You think my kid would get into his 30s and be like, I don't know what a backpack is. What's a fox? It's an animal?
Starting point is 00:24:51 What kind of animal? Monkey? I'm not familiar with that term. Fuck you. Listen, there's actually, in spite of the success of Sesame Street and the acclaim, and by the way, I think it's creatively, you would agree there's something
Starting point is 00:25:05 going on there creatively. Well, there's no evidence. Not enough to make a person with a developed brain enjoy. Well, there's not actually any evidence that it does anything from an educational perspective. Doesn't do anything. Listen, I know everything because I know nothing. How many times do I have to tell you people this? You and your people this you and your fucking fancy your brain with information fucking I don't get bogged down with knowledge knowledge
Starting point is 00:25:32 No First off. I don't know how Abe Lincoln learned the language without door the Explorer You ever hear the fucking shit. He crafted How did he craft that without having his brain turned on at age five by fucking Dora the Explorer? You kidding me? Planning him in front of a thing and just watching? Just your osmosis being exposed to shit.
Starting point is 00:25:59 It's like living too close to the fucking power plant. Just, just your fucking cells are being destroyed by this bankrupt creative piece of shit. Well, we don't know that it's hurting anybody. We don't know. It's not helping. Listen, I'd rather put on some fucking classical music and run episodes of All in the Family and Mash and go, I don't care if you don't get a fucking,
Starting point is 00:26:24 I don't know if you don't know what the Korean war is or who Alan Alda is. Get have have something of substance and quality pass through your veins. All right.

He gave me that I've had a few conversations with people Were basically private pile was telling general Boulder guard four star general Boulder guard hey stop your
Starting point is 00:28:30 armored limo roll your window down I got to put my rake down for a second listen to me listen to me here's what you need to do what did you say I can imagine I've had many conversations where people of you need to do this and you need to you know. I saw that one with Tara, don't call me Tara. That was the same thing right? Yeah I first thing by the way people think you know whether it's the super cunty Latin broad at the valet park at the Arclight theater who's giving everyone an earful for not getting their ticket validated even
Starting point is 00:29:09 though nobody knew it needed to be validated and then I was fifth in line and she gave everyone that you were supposed to have your ticket valid and and everyone before me was like oh I didn't know I told you oh I'm sorry I didn't understand I thought when you valet I told you. Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't understand. I thought when you valet, I told you. I'm sorry. There's about four of those people in a row. And then it came to me. You didn't get your I said, Shut up. Were you supposed to? Now? Now? You told nobody? You did? I told? Listen, I've just heard you tell four smart people who
Starting point is 00:29:43 car your parking. People have pretty good memories that you told them something and all four of them said they didn't. And now I'm the fifth. So you didn't. So shut up and drop your attitude. Now, everyone's like, well, and I have people, I do that people all the time. You have words you want to talk or you want to talk about my tone. We're talking about my attitude assistant. Yes. My assistant. What would you like? I shit to talk about my attitude? Assistant? Yes, my assistant. What would you like?
Starting point is 00:30:06 I shit can him. I don't know, a week later, whatever. The point is this. You are doing these people a service when you explain to them where they are on the pecking order in this life that is essentially an army that is filled with privates and generals and look Mark Cuban the general there Barack Obama general Hillary Clinton general there's plenty of generals some rank higher than others with more stars and then there are Privates now it shifts around a little bit. Well private everyone was a private at one time and oh no
Starting point is 00:30:55 But your daddy ran the right that your dad was Leon Panetti or the fucking whoever defense kind of whatever your or the fucking whoever defense kind whatever you're yeah Panetta yeah Panetta sorry your daddy ran the war your daddy works for Halliburton or your daddy works for Lockheed or something so Grumman so you yeah they do a lot of that it's true there those people do have a couple of sons not not many most of generals are there because they rose up through the ranks just like everybody else. A lot of privates pissed off at those generals but the cases of their dads being you know defense ministers or what-have-you are not or few and far between and not even worth bringing up. But let me say this Drew, hold on. I'm on a roll. Dig. Dig. Now, here's the thing, Chris Max
Starting point is 00:31:47 Patt over there, he is, he's not even a private, he's just getting off the bus. He's a pry. He's a pry. No, he's private. He's private. Private. But, when he goes out to dinner and he sits down at that table, the waiter, who may be a corporal in the army, is his private now because he is paying. And there could be welfare moms that are valet-ing their at the arc light and go in to see a movie and that chick who's giving them shit, that's their private. Now, I don't care how fucking low you are down on the chain. You go in to buy a new car, you're talking to a guy who may own a multi-million dollar car dealership. He's your bitch because you got the checkbook. See what I'm saying? And he must act accordingly to get that check. He may go home to a bigger house.
Starting point is 00:32:50 So what's the message here? What's the lesson? I have no fucking idea. The lesson is something like know your relation to others and act accordingly or something. Know where you're at. Because we all have to have different functions throughout the day, right?
Starting point is 00:33:10 Right. No, what it is is I do a podcast and I say whatever the fuck I want and I do whatever the fuck I want and then I go do O'Reilly and they tell me, here's a couple topics Bill wants to talk about. I don't go, hey man, here's what I want to talk about. I want to talk about Dora the Explorer for 20 minutes. Like no no it's his show. So I ain't the boss
Starting point is 00:33:33 and I'm not even a fucking lieutenant. I'm a private in his army and I don't say you know when they go hey we need you there at one o'clock I don't say, you know, when they go, hey, we need you there at 1 o'clock, I don't go, let's make it 1.30. I do what I do for that. Because even though I write my books and I say what I want in my books, I do my podcasts, I do my stand-up, I say whatever I want, I get to be the general,
Starting point is 00:34:01 that afternoon, I'm a private, that evening, I'm a general. I think the problem is when you go home, you're not allowed to be a general anymore. That's where you run into trouble. I. You're a pry when you go home. I think we are doing our families a disservice
Starting point is 00:34:18 by going out and being a general all the time and not coming home, coming home and acting like one of the boys, one of the enlisted guys. Gary, schedule Lynette for my podcast, please. Thank you. Yes. No, no. Listen, I did this the other day.
Starting point is 00:34:36 I needed my kids to do almost nothing. I have a Coca-Cola cooler in my courtyard that used to be Jimmy Kimmel's and he lent it to me nine years ago and I now he's rich I don't need to give it back to him but I needed them to take all the drinks out of it like clean things out and and I said look you too Sonny, Natalia, open the cooler take all the sodas and the beers and the bottles out, put them on the picnic table that daddy built, and we're gonna clean them off,
Starting point is 00:35:13 but I need you to take all the stuff out of the cooler. Well, we don't wanna take stuff out of the cooler. I said, hey, you take it out of the cooler. Where do we put? I said, take it out of the cooler Where do we put I said take it out of the cooler set it on the table directly behind you Well some of that stuff's there. Hey Do it so do it now sunny did it and the title you go fuck yourself No, they both came over they were bitching belly aching
Starting point is 00:35:40 Literally the top of the bottles are sharp the cap is metal the cap is sharp sunny cut is free that came over that's good too that's how people are they came over for fucking 15 consults on this thing and I just opened the window my den and I said hey we're not discussing it anymore. Go open, remove bottles, put them on the table and do it now. And that was it. There was no, ah, hey, I'd really appreciated it if you could find the time to. Oh no. And I wasn't going to get on their retarded merry-go-round of arguments of, well, if he
Starting point is 00:36:23 cuts his finger, we can put some back to, go do it. This is not too much to ask, go do it. Oh no. Let me tell you something. It's a battle. And these people need to be broken. And they need to be broken, not for me, for them.
Starting point is 00:36:40 Because my assistant, Matt, who thought it was gonna be a good idea to sit down and talk to me about my tone it was then shit can and Basically basically begged for his job back after that We didn't get it He needs that for him and I need that for him and I'm sure He's doing well somewhere and I'm sure it's in part because he realized,
Starting point is 00:37:07 do not take your superiors and sit them down and talk to them about their tone. Well, let's talk about your robots that are running around here. This group seems to listen pretty damn well. You were talking in a previous podcast about MaxiPad pontoons, and Chris Maxipada jumped out like you were screaming at him.
Starting point is 00:37:24 You heard the word MaxiPad. You guys, I mean, Drew, I know you love, you love this joke. You never stop beating this thing. Well, hold on. Of, oh, everyone here's scared of you, they're all scared, they're all freaked out. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:42 They are. No. Yeah. Not for your all, they are. No. Yeah. Not for your good, for theirs. Look, first off, I don't want people scared. Look, they're scared that I'm bringing this up. Look at that. Covering the mouth, it's a sign of shame
Starting point is 00:37:57 and embarrassment and fear. No, but believe you me, I want them, look. Hold on a second. I went out the other week and I did an event. By the way, this is gonna be, what I'm gonna get to is gonna be a compliment. I did a, for everybody, I did a personal appearance. And they set up the whole merch table
Starting point is 00:38:19 and everyone busted their butt and did everything. And I had all the books and the bottles of Mangria and everything, and then we got there and the first person to show up with the book, I handed it to me and I had all the books and the bottles of mangria and everything and then we got there and the first person showed the book I handed it to me and I looked at Rob and I said, where's the Sharpies? And he said, I didn't bring any. And I said, why didn't you bring any? And he said, well, Mike August usually brings them. I said, but Mike August isn't here. And he said, yeah, but he usually comes to these things. And I said, did you confirm that with Mike August? And he said, no. And I said, then it's on you. And you forgot the Sharpies. And he felt like shit.
Starting point is 00:38:57 I didn't rub it in. But I said, if you're going to do this, you need a list. You need a Sharpie to make the list. And don't count on Mike August being here, especially if you did not confirm it with Mike August. Now, I didn't call him an asshole. I said you better go wrestle up some Sharpies because it's gonna be a long night of signing books and bottles with no Sharpies, and they did. Now, he's not going to forget to bring the Sharpies next time. On the other hand, if I went, hey, everyone makes mistakes, no big deal, it's cool. I don't like sharpies anyway, the smell makes me high.
Starting point is 00:39:34 It might happen again. Now, you don't yell at the person, but you do explain to them, this is on you. And then you move on. These guys are good listeners. All three of these guys that I'm looking at right now. Yes one I can't see yes Did you go to great lengths to hire good listeners and you now are getting better at that kind of thing?
Starting point is 00:39:53 You know, I mean that you don't you don't have the Mats that want to sit down and talk about your attitude anymore because you wouldn't hire that kind of person anymore And as opposed to did you create these guys in the lab? Or a little bit of both? I think obviously if they were drawn to this podcast and or to me, then they have to have a certain genius in the first place. So they're geniuses. It's self-selecting groups.
Starting point is 00:40:17 Self-selecting geniuses, huh? I would like to- Make note of this day, that's a huge comment. I would like to think- You can recognize Adam's genius. I would like to think that I have taught them to some degree how to process. How to think deep. They're good. They really listen.
Starting point is 00:40:36 They think in a very linear fashion. They listen. They're not taking away 20%. They're taking away more. Oh, yes. 23, 24%. I agree with you. At least.
Starting point is 00:40:44 At least. At least. No, they understand that there is a efficiency that I attempt. I had... But you have that everywhere else in your life too and nobody comes up to that. These guys are there, right? For the most part. Well let me explain something about marriage, perhaps perhaps if this is what you're talking about I didn't mean to go there but go ahead. No, but I I'll be honest we have in marriage we have removed a vital impaired a
Starting point is 00:41:21 vital piece of the execute this puzzle a vital piece of the execute this puzzle. Executing this means if Chris stops listening and starts doing his own thing and just doesn't get it done, I can fire him. If Chris is under the knowledge that if I fire him, he takes half the business with it Meaning you're fired Chris and then your response to me is alright. I'll give you a couple days to pack up your stuff Meaning he's staying. Yeah, I'm leaving. Yeah
Starting point is 00:41:56 We've removed that that's what we have in marriage Right now Anyone here if they fuck up long enough, and often enough, they can get fired and when they get fired, they're fired. They ain't taken anything other than their backpack and a diet coke and they're on the road. Marriage, and we talk about incentive, honestly, is you can fire me, and then you can pack up your high school trophies and leave this house. So even though there's probably goodwill,
Starting point is 00:42:39 that creates, everybody works in a fear. Hang on, you and I would agree that needs to be disincentive to divorce. Oh yeah. Okay, so it's just a disincentive. No, there is a disincentive, but what I'm saying to you is we all are motivated in life. No, I know, I get you.
Starting point is 00:43:00 By consequences, so to speak. You know what my head goes? You don't give your wife enough responsibility then. You need to give her more responsibility and let her fuck up. I'm not specifically talking about my situation, but I do know others that are in a situation where you're kind of asking them to do something,
Starting point is 00:43:22 they're not really on the ball. But you gotta let them fuck up just like you would do their kids use your kids and when they fuck up they learn And then they get it together. Yeah, but the fuck up is sort of like yeah, I didn't do it. So what you gonna do? You know what I mean? And and the answer is really nothing because I said I'm firing you Chris except for I'm leaving And this is now your shop. Honestly what would Chris's what would happen with his batting average? As good a person as Chris Maxipata is, if it was understood that firing meant me leaving and you owning the shop. What do you think would happen with this batting average?
Starting point is 00:44:07 He'd make sure he got fired. No, you know what I think would happen? Well, if you were taking that, the analogy doesn't hold as a point. No, no, no. Because in that situation, he'd make sure he got fired. No, I think he would listen with one ear, but there wouldn't be a sense of, oh shit.
Starting point is 00:44:21 There'd be a, I get to it, I get to it. That's what happens. And I think... See, I think there needs to be more division of labor in marriage, not less. You're advocating for less and more authoritarian dad kind of thing. I think it's more... No, I think us saying to women, in California at least, and in modern times, if- They're saying it to men too. I mean, if the women is a very good winner.
Starting point is 00:44:51 Anyone. Okay. If your partner just decides, look, I don't want to have sex with you, or I don't want to listen to whatever you say, or I don't want to take care of myself, or I don't want to do anything. I don't want, I'm not going to raise the kids. I'm not going to do anything. And the consequence is they'll keep the house. You can keep on working and pay them half your income and then they really
Starting point is 00:45:15 don't have to do anything. That's not an incentive to do something. And now I don't we could probably sit around and come up with creative ways for that person to modify their behavior and for society to do it. To me, it even adds more, laying it out that way, and not a disagreeing or a agreeing, but laying it out that way, to me, puts more incentive on the power of romantic relationships, because people have to get that out of it. They've got to build a life and be rewarded for that and be building a really quality relationship that all this other shit doesn't become disincentive to them yeah the incentive is the
Starting point is 00:45:54 positive interpersonal stuff and and but to me that and that's missing too and the coexist but that's missing too people don't understand what it's to create a life and they don't know how to have a good relationship so now we got all all three, strike three. But what I'm saying is is if I'm married to Kelsey Grammer, Wow, man, would you create... The day's young. Yeah, okay. If I'm married to Kelsey Grammer, and he's a fucking rich dude and you know, he gets back on the sauce or he steps out on me and starts cheating or he does whatever he does My feeling's gonna be See ya old bald guy. There's no incentive. I'm gonna keep my Malibu. I'll live in the house in Malibu You go to broadway and work. You do nine shows a week. I'll stay here in Malibu and I'll have my masseuse come over
Starting point is 00:46:40 There's no incentive to work in the relationship. Yes back in the day Back in the day when it's uh's you go off to the lumber mill, I'll go off and milk the cows and get the eggs for the chicken and tend to the mend and tend and do all that. Then it's like, Jesus Christ, something happens to you, I'm fucked. You're making my point. And something happens to you, I'm fucked. You're making my point.
Starting point is 00:47:04 I'm making your point. There needs to and something happens to you. You're making my point. I'm making your point. There needs to be more division of labor. You need to share more responsibilities. That's right. I agree. I think that's right. Right. But what? What? What? What? What? What? But here's the problem. I'm going off to the lumber mill. You milk the cows. You take the chickens, you get the eggs from the chickens, you mend the kids dungarees. Yeah. Okay. Come home from the lumber mill.
Starting point is 00:47:31 Where's the milk? Oh. It's based on that one. That's the, that's now, then if you go, well listen, you get out there and milk that cow, and they go, you go milk that cow. And then they go, you milk that cow, or I'm gonna leave and you get to have the farm. You see, that's the problem. No, no, no, no, no. You know how it goes. Hey, we got no milk then.
Starting point is 00:47:54 And pretty soon the kids are complaining, she misses the milk, you miss the milk. There's no milk. That's it. So next time, milk the cow. No big deal, no personal investment in that. But what if they don't do it the next time? Then we got no bread. And then we get into this.
Starting point is 00:48:06 Right. But you're not going to let that happen. Why not? Because you're going to the lumber yard and you're going to stop home. I see you let that happen. You don't pick the milk up on the way home. Should we all go hungry then? You've used logic like that in a lot of ways of shaping people's behavior. I'm saying it's the same thing. I have. It gets a little dangerous sometimes, I agree with you, but I like that in a lot of ways of shaping people's behavior. I'm saying it's the same thing. I have.
Starting point is 00:48:25 It gets a little dangerous sometimes, I agree with you, but I think that's how people get it together in all areas of life, right? Consequences. Not being codependent, not filling in, not enabling. I am saying, in a nutshell, the consequences since divorce has become easy and not consequential, the consequences are a lot more divorce and certainly a lot less listening from Chris Maxpada if I fire him and I leave.
Starting point is 00:48:55 Hey, speaking of listening and these guys, just before we go to calls, I know we got a million calls up here, but I am so appreciative, first of all, I appreciate being here. Thank you for including me in this whole project. I didn't even think about that. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:49:08 I didn't intend to say that, but that's true. I'm appreciative of the podcast audience. They are so grateful and so much kinder than most audiences. Yes. It's interesting to me, and I feel much more clearly like perceived or like this
Starting point is 00:49:27 or uh... well like who i am is more clear to people that's like we i said earlier uh... me on or i'll you're not going to get the full me you get forty seven sounds like i feel like the fear seeing the full me i like celebrity rehab but i guess they don't really perceive it because I'm in the middle of a shit storm all the time trying to help people. But here we're just being ourselves and people sort of appreciate that.
Starting point is 00:49:53 I just thank you to the old audience. Thank you for you for letting me be part of this and thank you to the audience for being so kind. All right. All right. Donate generously. All right. Let's start at the top.
Starting point is 00:50:04 Let's power down here, Drew. Let's get going. All right, we got to get out of here. Alex? Yes. 26. What's going on? Hi. Yeah, it's a huge honor to get to talk to you guys. Our pleasure. Thanks for taking my call. What's up, Alex?
Starting point is 00:50:15 I was just wanting to talk to you guys, get your input on social anxiety. It's kind of something I've had all my life but really started to actually affect my life when I turned about 18. So I had a close group of buddies when I was in high school but ever since, you know, in college and since, making friends in general has been kind of a challenge for me because I have pretty bad avoidance behavior and just... Do you isolate a lot too? I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:50:52 Do you isolate a lot too? Yeah. Yeah, absolutely. Do you have a girlfriend? Yeah, I live with her. That's pretty good. Pretty good. Step toward the light. I'm in professional school right now and it's gotten to the point where it's kind of affecting,
Starting point is 00:51:14 it could potentially affect my career and ability to make professional contacts and that kind of thing too. Alright, let's put it to you this way. There's medication you can take, there's therapy and stuff like that. There's also just a fucking power through it kind of thing. Well, that's, and you sound like, you feel like you're bound on the cusp of that. Yeah, you feel like that guy, Alex.
Starting point is 00:51:36 I agree with that, and I was thinking, why can't this guy power through it? Because you're developing all these competencies, and you can let the, and you have a relationship, and you have ability to be intimate Why can't you just let the competency carry you so you just at least are able to behave as if? Yeah, I like it function well. I would if I were you you're you're in your Chicago, Illinois or just Illinois Well, what I mean is is Chicago has like city, you know, big deal over there.
Starting point is 00:52:07 And taking like an improv class, getting together with a bunch of strangers and kind of letting it all hang out, you know, getting up on stage. It'll start with very basic shit. It's not like they're going to sit up there and say, do a monologue, you know, you don't have to do it. But just doing something like that where you're taking yourself and you're pushing yourself out of a comfort area into an area of discomfort, not because you wanna be the next cast member on SNL,
Starting point is 00:52:34 but because you wanted to help in your business and your social and your whatever. How about something like that? Well, I absolutely hear what you're saying. It's just, it's gotten to the point where I will get basically a panic attack. I mean, it's probably coming through a little bit right now, but, you know, I get a shaky voice and start sweating. I know, I know.
Starting point is 00:52:54 Listen, you can take a beta blocker, like a little whiff of enderal, it has no effect on any of your brain systems or anything. It just blocks the shakes and the heart rate. Really? It's a peripherally active drug. It has virtually no central effects. Really? Yeah. So you don't feel the reaction of the panic.
Starting point is 00:53:10 Hey, what percentage of people take a beta blocker when they're performing at the halftime of a Super Bowl? I think the interesting question would be how many have had to at one time in their career. Probably zero at that level. Uh-huh. But I bet at one time or another. I mean, Donnie Olsen, remember he had all that panic and stuff at one point.
Starting point is 00:53:27 Take the beta blocker. Doesn't do anything to your brain. I mean why not just take it every time then? People do. It's just like why not? I mean just as a look, I'm going to do the Tonight Show for the 25th time but I want to have zero feelings about it. Well it's not zero feelings, it's the peripheral feelings. You won't have a heart rate go up, you won't have the shakes, one of the sweats might have been good for your sweats.
Starting point is 00:53:51 But I'm so like absurdly sensitive to medication, I'd be afraid it would affect something. Yeah, well even if it's just placebo effect. Yeah, any medicine can get in your brain a little bit. That just drives me crazy. Hey, Dallas, 34. Hey, what's going on, guys? What's going on? Question for Dr. Drew.
Starting point is 00:54:12 Mine was kind of about anxiety as well, and I take Ativan. And I've been dealing with anxiety and real bad panic for a while, but I'm facing, could be facing this surgery that I'm pretty nervous about. What kind of surgery? And your reassignment. What kind of surgery? Oh, absolutely.
Starting point is 00:54:33 Okay. Are you familiar with Chiari Malfamation? Bud Chiari, yeah. Jazz drummer, Bud Chiari? Yeah, yeah jazz drummer bud kiari Unherniated seven millimeters Which which I know sounds extremely sexual, but I'm I'm having a lot of symptoms You know vertigo and nausea and all this stuff, and I've basically been bedridden for like three months He played with Stan. He played with Stan Kenton, but carry yeah back Yeah, back in the day. I think he did in fact.
Starting point is 00:55:06 I know he sat in on a couple sessions. Yeah, hell of a drummer. All right, what should he do, Drew? Well, what are we saying here? What is the question exactly? How tough is Bud Currie? Well, the question is, I'm not sure if it's the currie that's causing the symptoms, the nausea, the panic and the anxiety and all this other stuff. It's probably a con... Bud Chiari, we're talking about the hepatic vein problem, right? We're talking about the cerebellum herniating into the spinal column.
Starting point is 00:55:36 Oh, that's a... I've never heard of Bud Chiari. Bud Chiari is a little... No, no, no. Well, it's just Chiari malformation. Chiari malformation. Chiari malformation. I'm sorry, I didn't know. It's all right.
Starting point is 00:55:47 C-H-I-A-O. Well, then there's no telling. I mean, a herniation of the cerebellum. I mean, how was that diagnosed, even? MRI? Through MRI scans. They can see the herniation. The cerebellum tonsils go down into the serratus.
Starting point is 00:56:01 Oh my god. So, I mean, this is a big malformation of the brain, basically. Your brain sort of sits on a couple of ledges, into the serenis. Oh my god. So I mean this is a big malformation of the brain basically like his your brain sort of sits on a couple of ledges and his brain is actually poking through one of those ledges and it's actually kind of dangerous and that's a big surgery. Oh my god Dallas. So now he's freaked out more. Well no no no. Yeah I appreciate it now I'm in full panic mode. I'm sorry I don't mean to panic you I'm just saying this is a big deal and because it is an issue of the brain, it's hard to tell, right?
Starting point is 00:56:29 I mean, the manifestations can be protein as well. What do they do to repair it? Basically they cut the back of your neck open and they take the, I think it's the occipital bone, they basically, where the spine is, they'll just cut away part of that bone. They just open it up. They just open it up so you don't push down. Sometimes have to open the dura up.
Starting point is 00:56:52 Well, the good news is, look, the good news is you're in that posterior fossa, which less of effect on things like mood and anxiety. The good news is it's 2013 and not 1961, in which case you'd just be dust. 1861. Well, I didn't want to push too hard. But hey, listen, here's the deal. I say you stay with whatever you need to control your symptoms
Starting point is 00:57:17 until you get that damn surgery done. Then you start sorting these things out later. Now you just focus on getting that shit done. Just get through it. Power through it. You're on Ativan. Ativan's an addictive drug. Potentially, it can intensify anxiety over the long run.
Starting point is 00:57:32 So get to this surgery. Get it done. And then get on some sort of long-term kind of treatment that stabilizes things. Let's keep powering here. Miguel? Phoenix? Hey, Drew.
Starting point is 00:57:42 Hey, Adam. Hey, buddy. Your brother-in-law alcohol possible coke problem, you want to know about Al-Anon? Well, I know Dr. Drew is always suggesting Al-Anon for when you have a relative that has an issue like that. Yeah. But you know, I got kids of my own and you know my wife, she's always trying to like, you know, got kid of my own and you know my wife she's uh... she's always trying to like
Starting point is 00:58:06 you know do good for their kids and their family and everything and you know they have parent they just need to get their shit together but i think in uh... you know take care of their kids right now and and i just want to know how how to approach them you know but it kind of gets through to them.
Starting point is 00:58:26 I mean, I think it's time for a wake-up call. Right. So you don't need to go to Al-Anon, Miguel, yourself because you're not regularly involved with them or closely involved with them, correct? No. I'm trying to stay away. Yeah, you just want to try to affect change. You want to try to get them to treatment. And in this kind of, you know, sort of surgical strike kind of thinking, right, you don't necessarily need, Alana, it's a lot of time and work that you may not want to commit to their problem. Here's the deal. You can organize a intervention and that has to be done with it professionally. Do not intervene on your own ever. Don't try that.
Starting point is 00:59:02 You need a guy with a ponytail, preferably ponytail and huge calves. Yeah, big calves. Those guys are calves and a ponytail who remembers every date. He starts off December 22nd, 1987. I buried my second wife. It's nothing but dates that guy. March 11th, 1994, I buried my first son. After you ran over with the car. Yeah. You have to have a ponytail, you have to have large calves, and you have to spit out dates all the time. Like people go, oh, wait a minute, December 22nd, 87. Let's see, that was a Tuesday. You sure it wasn't a 23rd?
Starting point is 00:59:47 Because I feel like you wouldn't have had a funeral on, just say about 10 years ago or back in the day or I lost my first wife to alcohol. No, no, no, no, no, because the using it goes, I did like 10 years ago. I don't know, something like that. But somebody who's been reviewing this in their recovery will know dates. It's a blowhardy thing. The blowhard, one of the cornerstones of the blowhard is giving the date out for every fucking event.
Starting point is 01:00:18 Stop doing Love Line, March 23rd, 2006. No one gives a fuck I have no idea when I stopped anything or started anything I hate the fucking date givers it's a code in recovery though I'm just saying so a recovering person does that little it's a version of the blowhard but you need ponytail big cats so Miguel here's the deal you can you can do that which is costly and difficult and sometimes you know it may not be your place to do that. But the bigger piece of advice I'm gonna give you is do not walk on eggshells around these people.
Starting point is 01:00:51 I find that humorous, the way people find it sort of, first of all, they sort of, that's caving into the addict's bullshit. You gotta go, look, hey man, Miguel, if I'm Miguel, like, dude, I'm here because I love you, I worry about your kids, I see you need to get your shit together, you need to do that. You need to get your shit together.
Starting point is 01:01:11 I'm just saying. And if they come at you with righteous indignation, you just, come on, I'm here to try to help you, dude. I'm here to help you. You should help yourself. Yeah, what's my motivation except to be here and say, we love you, we want to help you, but you need to get a job. I don't know what your motivation is, dude. So look, here's the deal. That's basically life.
Starting point is 01:01:31 I know. I know. I've had this conversation with people all the time where I go, why are we having a conversation about you being late if you're not late? Do you think I have conversations with people that are never late about them constantly being late? And then how much sense would it make to them? It wouldn't make sense if I said to you or Mike August, you're constantly late.
Starting point is 01:01:55 You'd go, I'm always here before you. I've never been late. And then I would be stopped in my tracks. Well, now that if you then came back with Righteous Insignia Nation, I would think that was funny because it's like, who are you talking to? This is kidding. And that's the attitude you've got to adopt when you're dealing with a drug addict. It's like, don't be funny. Come on now. This is serious business. Your kids are suffering. I looked up a play, a treatment center down the road. We'll watch your kids during that week. Offer them real
Starting point is 01:02:19 help, but don't walk on eggshells. Be very, very direct and very swift and very complete. Daniel from Phoenix 32, question about HIV transmission for women to men. Hey, Ace Man, hey Drew, how's it going? Good and on. Get it on. Drew, I was listening to your podcast over the week and you had the young woman on who was from the MTV show, I'm Positive.
Starting point is 01:02:42 Yes, it's Kelly Gluckman, it was the episode eight, aired on the 30th, yes. And by the way, every Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Dr. Rubatov, Dr. Rubatov. Oh, you assholes with your dates. I'm becoming a blowhard. Kelly Gluckman, episode eight, aired originally, 130, 013, 012. Who is the blowhard?
Starting point is 01:03:01 Me for reading what those guys put up or these guys are putting it up. That doesn't matter. Get guys are putting it up. That doesn't matter. Get my broadcast at Dr.com. Anyway, Daniel, yeah, Kelly is great. She's HIV positive. She's on treatment.
Starting point is 01:03:11 What's the question? Well, it turned out that she had ended up getting HIV from her boyfriend who, lo and behold, was sleeping with guys. What? I guess on the side. It's now. It's equal opportunity. Equal. with guys. It's equal opportunity, equal. You have just as much chance of getting it
Starting point is 01:03:27 from a heterosexual person and heterosexual sexual encounters than you do with it. That's what I've learned from watching PSAs. Very important message to say. I went online and that seems to be the information that's out there. So I was hoping Drew could maybe clear that up and just... All right All right so you're you're more likely to here's what go into the probability of transmission. Viral load in the individual with the disease. So if they're producing a lot of virus if they're not on treatment, whether you're male or female, those are the people that are infectious. But close your eyes everyone and think of all the straight people you know who have been claimed by AIDS. All right, now think about the gay people. Okay, now there's exposure to
Starting point is 01:04:09 fluids, so the more fluids the more probability of the virus in it, and the more those fluids are exposed to absorptive areas, rectum is designed for absorption of fluids, that's all it really does. As opposed to the mouth, inhospitable to HIV. Vagina, vagina is something that can be transmitted there, but less likely to be a blood-blood exposure there. Just bring it home. Okay. You good?
Starting point is 01:04:36 All right, and last but not least, Paul, single father, full custody, three-year-old, wants parenting advice. Hey, Paul.

And I don't know if they kibble or just like Cheerios. Salt tablets. Cheerios. Just big hopper of Cheerios, a big hopper of water. Kid will raise himself. Now the interesting thing is, mom must, if you have full custody, mom must either be dead or a drug addict. Neither one, she's just a flake, I guess. No. Or a severe mental illness.

Kids feel responsible for everything.
Starting point is 01:07:10 It's not, mama doesn't want to see you because you're not so good. It's mama doesn't want to see you because mama has big problems, had bigger problems with her daddy, and for now she's not gonna be around and she's trying to help, get herself help. It's really about not having the kid internalize why mama doesn't wanna be a part of their life. Lots of attention, obviously lots of structure.
