The Adam and Dr. Drew Show - Speak Softly and Cary a Dipstick (The Adam and Dr. Drew Show Classics)

Episode Date: July 1, 2023

Adam and Dr. Drew open the show discussing Dr. Drew's rekindled love for 'The Love Boat' as Adam explains his theory behind the value in examining commercials and popular entertainment of a time period as it represents what our society is like during that time. Later on, Adam explores his analogy about cars and the male libido before they take a call and explain the key difference between "have to" and "get to". Finally the guys go to the phones and take calls about Hyper-vigilance, the effects of fatherless homes on young men and women, and Adam has a change of heart about allergies.

Welcome to the Adam and Dr. Drew Show Classics. Starting it off for this week, we have episode 1216, released January 17th, 2020, titled Are You Allergic to Wisdom? Drew's rekindled love for the love boat leads Adam to divulge his process for ascertaining a society's values by analyzing popular media and commercials. What's going on in your world, Drew? Just grunts, man.

Just grunts. Yeah, I think we've tapped into the zeitgeist with the whole love boat thing, though. My wife and I have started watching on a regular basis. It's on the Pop Channel. And then, lo and behold, it showed up at the Golden Globes. And I thought, I think we're on to something here, man. I think Gavin McLeod would be proud. Well.

I don't know why the hell it's having that kind of a weird. Okay. It's uncannily disturbing to watch it, I must tell you. People need to study commercials, as I've always said, and they need to study very popular TV shows and popular songs of the era so they can understand the era. Because the TV commercials represent that moment in time and the popular shows do. Now, there's always some weird deep cut stuff that doesn't represent anything at any time. But then there's shows like The Love Boat, which really captured basically like a three-year period

of this country, you know, sort of late 70s into the 80s. That's what we were. Those were the hairstyles. That was the dress. That was the music. Those were all the stars. The tablet of colors. And those were the stars. This is how they reacted.

These were the rhythms of the jokes. Nobody even stuck them for great jokes. Those were the rhythm of the jokes that they did. The popular. This is basically the golden corral of food. This is the fine cuisine. This is what is popular. And what I... And I... I don't like to

talk about myself. I know that. But I've always understood this, had a fascination with it, and studied it. What defined this? This popular thing of this time. So popular things representing the historical moment. Yeah. Drew has dismissed them as dreck, which they are, and said not worthy of this.

No, you know what? I have an emotional reaction to them. It's like cringy. I can't watch it. Many things that I watch, people say that's not worthy of my time. And my feeling is, oh, no, I'm studying it like an anthropologist is studying a grade eight. I mean, I'm looking at I don't think I'm that. I don't aspire to do that.

I want to understand it. Yes, I completely agree. However, the part that that made me just made myself a hero for watching T.J. Hooker drunk. Let's make note of this moment. And ignoring my kids. But I have an emotional reaction to it, and that's where the resistance comes in. And now that I'm watching, I'm having that emotion constantly.

I'm sort of overriding it with a little bit of an observing eye. But it's still very uncomfortable to watch. I mean, some of the rhetoric about relationships and men and women and, you know, the freaking physician that's Dr. Bricker! Adam Bricker! That's roofing all his patients.

And it's just so much of it is so problematic. So problematic. And the axioms that are coming through, you know, stuff that Captain – what's his name? Captain – What show are you watching, Drew? I don't pay attention to the name so much.

Jesus Christ. But the so-called wisdom that is being imparted are just not even empty platitudes. They're like dangerous. They're dangerous positions. So I don't know. So anyway, I still watch it. I'm't know. So anyway, I still watch him. I'm watching him. And I'm interested to see who shows up in the love boat too, which I think is a really fascinating piece.

And, you know, there's two populations of cast, right? One is the stars of the day. And the other is the stars of yore. You know, the ones who are not cool anymore and just are showing up there. Well, they don't have – they wouldn't have legitimate stars of the day. And as we know it in a sort of Brad Pitt kind of way, they had TV TV stars of the day. Yeah. And then movie stars of old. Right. Ethel Merman.

And, you know, people like people that were out of favor coming back. And even probably your Mickey Roonies and people of that nature. I saw an episode of Mickey Rooney. Oh, really? Yes. Yeah, I become – I'm more enthralled. When it becomes more caricature-like? When it's like –

Because they're over the top. When they do like a very special, you know, they'll do like a very special who's the boss or something. And young girl, whatever her name is, she's having she's hooked on pills. And it's like, oh, now this is a serious episode. It's a serious episode of a dumb sitcom. Yes. But they always water it down because it's always diet pills. Yes. It's not roofies, tranquilizers.

You know, it's not. It's never real. No, it's never real. So it's always sick. And if there's ever like there was sexual assault or whatever, no one got fucked. No. It's something. He tried to kiss her.

He tried to kiss her. Outside the sweater or something. Yeah. So it's like they do a very special episode, but then they completely cop out at the end. All the way through. All the way through. But what I mean is she's hooked on pills, but they're diet pills. It's never –

Never held. Right. I'm trying to think of – Oxycontin. There you go. That'll work. I was thinking of one of the day, which is like Qualens or something like that. or something like that but that that's the whole point so they do like a very special one i always i always enjoy those and there i don't know why i don't know uh gary this would be a tough dive for you but

you're gonna love this one oh jesus bring it on um julie mccoy the cruise director. Cruise director, yeah. Mm-hmm. She had this, like, old Uncle Bert or something, and he was a vaudevillian actor. Comedian. He was a vaudevillian comedian. Okay. And the storyline was she worked as the cruise director. You know, the game had passed him by with all the cool 70s, you know, Richard Pryor and whatnot.

He was a vaudevillian guy. He was the dad who owned the bowling alley from Laverne and Shirley. He was that actor. Wow. And he's like, Julie, my only niece, you're working as a cruise director for Princess Cruise. Book me as a comedian on your cruise. And of course she was like, oh, man, these are young, cool, hip, 1977, 78 people here.

You know what I mean? You want to go do your Catskill spiel. That's not going to work. And so she convinces Julie. Of course, Julie, like reluctantly, like I know this young crowd's not going to go for the old julie you know a borscht belt stuff he gets up there he starts doing his old borscht belt stuff of course it's landing you know with a thud on deaf ears nobody's laughing the young cool crowd not into it and then at some point he sort of pulls up pulls up a stool like being a little

defeated knowing it's not gonna work pulls up a stool and he goes well i guess we have a generation gap i was gonna bring that up and i'm here to make it wider and everyone starts nodding and laughing and clapping and music kind of flares up and everyone's smiling like, okay, we just take care of the rest of the 40 minute routine now. Now all is well, right? Right. Because he's, he's found his truth. He's acknowledging the reality. He's given up on the old jokes and now he's doing this.

From you guys, your anthropologist observing it. That's a really interesting commentary, isn't it? Yeah. And also what he's saying is, is I'm going to be real with you. I'm not, I'm not going to do the kind of take my wife, please humor. I'm going to do more of a Lenny Bruce kind of humor. And in terms of the number one critique that you and your peers had, say, in fifth to eighth grade of the generation above, the generation gap, what was the number one thing we would call them? Oh, well, there was a few.

Yeah, there were a few things. There was uptight or out of touch. Out of touch. Square or whatever. Phony. Phony, right. That's all that stuff, right. And if phony was the – if you remember Catcher in the Rye, that was his big preoccupation.

His preoccupation was the adult world was phony. All I know is Catcher in the Rye just inspired a lot of people to kill famous people. That's all I really know. That's all I really know. I'm not sure that's all it did, but okay. That's all I know of the book. Alright, well now I'm going to go renew. I'm doubling down. I do know Captain

Steuben's first name is Merrill. But I have no idea about Catcher in the Rye. He was on Mary Tyler Moore's show before that, right? J.D. Salinger? No, no. Good one. Good reference. I like it. catcher all right do you he was on mary tyler moore show before that right jd salinger no no good good one good reference i like it no i mean uh meryl meryl hold on it wasn't jd salinger who was a regular on the mary tyler moore show he was the news he was the newsroom director or something right yeah he wrote he wrote news copy over there all right right. Let's see. Should I do a spot? Sure. All right.

Boy, if you can find that episode. I know what episode it is. I have the title. I have the description. I'm trying to find the video. Have I told it to you before? Do you know that episode? I don't think so.

He found it. But you found it. He found it. He knows he's got it. What's it called? It's called... All of these have weird titles that have multiple titles. The Fountain of Youth slash Bad Luck Cabin slash Uncle Daddy.

Uncle Daddy? Uncle Daddy. Oh, Jesus. It's weird. It's like Uncle Captain on VNC. And next up, we have episode 1068, released May 6th, 2019, titled Lights Are Racist. Adam explores his analogy about cars and the male libido before they take a call and explain the key difference between have to and get to. Libido.

Cars. And cars and the male libido. And how does this pertain to the famed lamborghini mura mura mura mura mura now the earlier models had the transverse mounted mid-engine v12 okay and it was it had the transmission attached to the engine block essentially one kind of unit and it shared the same oil so the transmission fluid transmission oil and the engine oil were just shared just go back and forth like instead of putting five quarts in the transmission and five quarts in just put in 10 quarts and just use it and it wasn't as good of course and then later on versions came out that had a split sump they called it which is engine oil over here and transmission oil fluid over here that's the male libido we We are split. We can have horrible emotional arguments, whatever, throwing of plates.

Transmission is still working. That's this, and then there's this, and that's different. That dipstick still rock hard. Am I right, Drew? Dipstick still runs deep. Dipstick still runs deep. Regardless of what's going on in the transmission area, this is a whole different part of the engine.

It's going, firing on an all-cylinder. Yeah, still can't get a strip. That dipstick running deep. Women, they got the first gen transmission oil where it's all mixed in together. Yeah. So if it's not going good and the transmission department is going to just slop on over into the engine and now the whole thing's going to be fouled. Yeah. You feel me? Fouled.

Is there a better description of the two Levitas? Well done. Well done. And it doesn't mean, you know, a little bad oil or a little water in the system because it'd still work. But if the whole system in the tranny side is fouled, it's going to just... Yeah, whole thing's going. Not working. No, but the males? No. In fact, sometimes the engine runs

is running extremely well. It's true. It's a man of passion. I'll tell you what. No, it is. It's true. Sometimes we can squeeze a few more RPMs out of those rods and cranks. Right.

Because somehow we're compensating that bad tranny fluid. All right. So that's the analogy. Go ahead, Gary. Which one? Well, you know what? You can find that engine and how it worked at some point just for fun. I'm sorry.

I was reading which specific engine. Picture of the engine? Lamborghini Miura. Let point just for fun. I'm sorry. I was reading which specific engine. Picture of the engine. Lamborghini Miura. Let's talk to Mike. Single sump. Mike, 41, Chico, California. Hi, guy. Hi, guy.

Hey, I saw your show in Sacramento. Brought my girlfriend and she hadn't seen you before and she was dying laughing. You were great up there. Appreciate it. You know, Mike, I don't like to talk about me, but just this one time. First off, no better compliment for me than I brought somebody who didn't know who you were, wasn't a fan, and they enjoyed it. That, to me, it's a very pure compliment no matter what business you're in. And I always enjoyed that one because I feel like you're supposed to laugh it up. But I wouldn't feel like I did my job if your honey bunny didn't laugh it up.

And also, I've been doing stand-up as part of my New Year's resolution. So I've been doing stand-up as part of my New Year's resolution, and it makes it a lot easier to, when you went out and did a free show on Thursday night, to then go out Friday night and do a show where you get paid for. Right, right. The dust doesn't settle. Are there any surprises for you in doing this? There are. And, Mike, I'm glad you enjoyed it, and I'm glad you came out. It was a good night, I thought.

Yeah, yeah, it really was. I appreciated it. And I'll answer Drew's question, but first let's answer yours. So speaking of her, I've been with her for four months now, and I've never had any erectile dysfunction problems. I could walk around leathery and with a tent, no permeable all the time, and wind blows. And sometimes with her it just doesn't work.

So I tried some Bluetooth. Thank you, Adam. Yeah, some what? Bluetooth. I tried some Viagra stuff, and it works well. Generic ED stuff that we advertise? I don't understand where it could be coming from. Well, the crazy thing is that women, when a man experiences that,

always is running through an inventory. They must not be attractive enough. He doesn't like me. But in fact, it sounds like quite the opposite. This is one of the more typical situations. You're too into her, right? Yeah, yeah. And so you kind of get overwhelmed.

You get anxious. You want to be good, you know. And so this is more a function of anxiety about being too into your partner. You think so? Yeah, I suspect. It's a phenomenon that I have that sometimes it feels like, you know, you pull the plug out of a bathtub and how the water drains out. That's how it feels with my boner sometimes. And it just goes away and it won't come back.

That's literally what happens. Right. I've never had that happen to me before. So I don't know if that might be something medical or you just think it's all psychological. Well, are you a smoker? No. It's worth getting checked out for sure. I mean, if you were 50 or 60 or a smoker, we'd check you for heart disease because that could be an issue there too.

But it doesn't matter. Yeah, it feels young. Yeah, you're kind of young. Once it happens – I always think when it happens once, now it's kind of tough because now it's kind of on. It's on. But I would – yeah, get checked out, right, Drew? Yeah, prostate disorders. There's a lot of stuff that can cause this.

So you want to get checked out and then you might just want to use what are called PDE5 inhibitors, Vagris, that kind of thing, and just try it and see if it helps you through it once you've been medically cleared. All right, Drew. Yeah. You were asking about moi. Yeah, and surprises. Surprises. What kind of surprises? Well, you've been doing stand-up regularly now, and you've made it a discipline.

And I'm wondering if it's different than what you've been doing all these years, and if you've sort of come upon anything that was surprising that you've learned or felt, like it was super enjoyable or things you really didn't like. What kind of things were new and surprising as a result of this discipline you've taken on? Well, I'll answer that. There's a couple things. There's a kind of mechanical side of it that's a sort of rhythm, repetition, basic. This is your spiel.

You get a chance to work it out. And obviously... Did you develop it sort of on stage or did you write it out ahead? I would go out and I'd have my little beats of just the topics I wanted to hit and I would start getting used to sort of crafting those topics.

And obviously it's nearly impossible to do from your living room. You have to just sort of be up on stage and do it. So obviously the more you do it, the more you refine that. And that's true. And so instead of taking three months off in between shows, you wouldn't let a week go by without getting up on stage. And it made a big difference. Right. I also started kind of going, well, just because you're going out of town to do shows

Friday and Saturday doesn't mean you can't perform Thursday for free at the Ice House. So I've been doing that and it helps a lot mechanically but emotionally it actually helps a lot too and the reason it helps a lot is your work whatever that work is you have it compartmentalized in your brain as is like work you know like you you kind of know the difference between i gotta get up i got you know i got to go to work. You say, I got to go to work. You don't go, I got to play a video game. Like you say, like when somebody goes, can you come or do this? You go, no, I'm going to a movie or I'm going out to eat.

And then you go with work. You put the word got in front of it. Like I got to go to work. You're right. You never goes, I got to go out to eat or got to go see a musical. They don't. It's pleasure. So when you kind of think of what you do with work, it's like you define it.

I got to go to work. And then at a certain point, whether you're a TV doctor or podcaster or a stand up, you just kind of put got in front of everything. You know, like I got to go down to the hospital. I got to go to the podcast. I got to do a live show like I got, you know like i gotta go down the hospital i gotta go to the podcast you know i gotta do a live show like i got you know and when you start doing whatever you're doing for free and you're imposing it on yourself and you're just leaving your house at thursday night you know after a pretty long day of gots too and you're just heading out you're doing it volitionally you're

not doing it for paycheck you're not doing because you got to so now when you're just heading out, you're doing it volitionally. You're not doing it for a paycheck. Because you've got to. You're not doing it because you've got to. So now when you're heading to the Burbank Airport and you're going to San Francisco to do a couple of shows Friday and Saturday night at Cobb's, you don't have that, I've got to go to Cobb's. In your head, it's like, oh, no, I'm going up on stage. I get to.

It makes you feel more volitional. You go from got to get. Got to get it on, get it on. You don't got to. It's the blur. The line is getting fuzzy because I already did this. I get to go out on Thursday night. I got to go out Friday and Saturday night.

But now what's the difference? got to go out Friday and Saturday night, but now what's the difference? And as you blur that line, your sort of dread level of like, oh, I just worked all week and now we're heading to the airport, it doesn't – no, now you get more time. That makes sense to me. It's interesting. Yeah. I think I got a big dose of I get to by having had a full career in other discipline taekwondo yeah sometimes but that that felt more like the got to part this feels more like yet to

we'll be right back with more of the adam and dr drew show classics and finally for this week we have episode 229, released April 12, 2015, titled All You Need to Know About Life. The guys take phone calls on hypervigilance, the effects of fatherless homes on young men and women, and Adam has a change of heart about allergies. Justin? Yes, sir. New Orleans. Love you guys. Uh, Justin? Yes, sir. New Orleans, I'm going to you, baby, because somebody said to me that, uh, they said, why do you keep talking about hypervigilance, that thing that Dr. Drew made up?

And I said, and someone shot me a tweet and said, you know, that doesn't exist. And I was like, I don't, I don't know if it exists or not. That came out of Dr. Drew's mouth. I've always liked it. Yeah, it's, it's not Yeah, it's not a diagnosis. It's just a description of how you are. Did it exist before you made it up? It's not in any medical textbooks or anything?

There's such a thing as being hypervigilant, but it doesn't. But it's like saying, I'm hungry. It's like saying, yeah. It's not a medical condition. No. You're hungry. Yeah. Okay. It's a state of being. It's a state, yeah, it's like saying, it's not a medical condition. No. You're hungry. Yeah. Okay.

It's a state of being. It's a state, man. Sorry, Kevin. Every time I listen to you talk about hypervigilance and talk about the experiences you go through, I relate to every single thing that you say. But I feel like mine is more on maybe an extreme than what you say, possibly. Well, I can tell you it's already different than his because you're anxious. Your pulse is 110.

Adam's pulse is 40. So he has this weird, weird parasympathetic dominance. So he's hyper-inhibited and hyper-aware at the same time, which is a weird combo. Thank you. Did I use the word weird enough? No, I'm into all that makes sense, but I'm not into walking down the street and circling the lamppost twice for good luck. That's a waste of calories. Well, that's anxiety, and anxiety can flip over into OCD.

Okay, yeah, because I am pretty anxious with a lot of things. We hear that. A lot of times, when it comes to the hypervigilance, like I walk into a room and I will have to study everything in the room and what is going on in the room and what people are doing and how they're acting, which leads me to think that it's more OCD than hypervigilance. All right, well, you have my permission to knock it off. It's anxiety. It's anxiety. Whether or not it's OCD, I can't say. But whatever it is, you can get it treated.

Paul from Tampa. Hey, what's going on, guys? What's going on, man? Yeah, so I hear you talk about it. i hear a lot of people talk about how women have daddy issues and how that can manifest that manifests itself um in promiscuity or an inability to kind of communicate with uh the opposite sex and my question is uh what about and it's more for dr drew and maybe adam with your observations, what about men or young boys? How do abandonment issues manifest themselves in young boys and then later,

how do they work and how does that manifest itself during relations? With dad, yeah. We're going to talk about dad's absence, which is different than abandonment. Let's just talk about, because whether a child experiences feeling of abandonment is sort of a separate phenomenon. But the absence of a dad, absence of a biological father, in women, it creates a forever pursuit of the unavailable male.

And in that, using sex and sexuality as a way of trying to fill or manipulate men. In men, what you see is unregulated aggression. They become hyper-aggressive. Small news to me. They don't regulate their aggression very well.

Does that make sense? Yeah. So it makes sense that folks that had less dads in the home would be more of the prison populace? No, they're just... No? No, the train conductor looks for them and piles them onto the train. What I said there wasn't accurate. Of course it's true.

Of course it's true. I wonder how we could impact her. Hmm. Well, let's see. I guess coach up principals at high schools? I don't think so. Well, interestingly. There's no way to know.

I don't know. There is another way. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.

I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.

I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.

I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.

I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.

I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't have a way. But listen, there's another solution. There is no solution. It's complicated. You've been a part of it.

True. It's super complicated. It is not complicated. It's wildly. You don't watch Huffington Post. It's complicated. You, the Big Brother program, was an attempt to manage that. Big Brother? Me?

Yeah. Well, I'm a fucking horrible person that hates gay people and women. Why would I be a Catholic Big Brother? Right. Well, evidently, somebody manipulated you into it. Okay. But listen, here's the deal. It rarely gets brought up.

A single positive relationship. I mean, Drew brings it up, but all the Adams, the fucking horrible ogre discussions. A single positive relationships outside the home sustained throughout adolescence can impact this. I don't like to brag. This was not celebrity big brother. This was not celebrity big brother. This was poor person big brother. All right, yeah. There you go.

That's an attack on Nate, by the way. That's my little brother's name. All right, one more, Drew, and then we'll get to the line. Is that the top there? Yep. Line one, John. Hey, Adam. Hey, Andrew. How are you?

What's going on? I know. I'm calling because I have a very severe allergies. He's been waiting a long time, and now he's got his speakerphone and we can't hear him. He has allergies and... Right. Really severe allergies. and... Really severe

fetal allergies. Calling to ask Dr. Hu's opinion on helminthic therapy, use of hookworms to help with autoimmune conditions. Who is suggesting this? I've read lots of things about it. I haven't been suggested to do that

by an allergist or a doctor. Obviously, there's a chance of... How do you use hookworms for this? I have no idea. I've never heard of this. I would be really worried about complications. What is a hookworm? Hookworm is an intestinal parasite. It looks like a little hook, and it digs into your colon.

It's good times. And I'm sure your body would have an autoimmune reaction, or an immune reaction to it. I don't know the mechanism. John, what's going on? How much of this is crazy, and how much of this is biological um interesting question i don't think it's crazy there's a lot of research maybe it's the strong word no no no not not hookworms you oh no no hold on drew when people tell me they're allergic to peanuts i go all right but when they run the list i start going into a little bit crazy land and then at, when people tell me they're allergic to peanuts, I go, all right. But when they run the list, I start going into a little bit crazy land.

And then at some point, they tell me they have environmental allergies. Like, you know, the paint on the wall is toxic. And what's the fumes coming up from the carpet? And then I'm like, oh, I get it. You're nuts. Or incest survivor or whatever. Something's going on. So you have a ton of allergies and you're looking into hookworms.

So you wonder, is there a trauma history? John, what's going on? About five, six years ago, when I was 28, 29, I developed severe seasonal allergies. You know, pollen, ragweed, things like that. I end up taking a lot of allergy medication, do a steroid course every season. I'm also doing a sublingual immunotherapy, but that's going to take three or five years until it takes effect, sort of like allergy shots. And this just came out of nowhere.

Well, you know, I had allergy pets and stuff growing up. Yeah. All right. Well, I feel like we know a lot more about allergies now than we did 10 years ago, right, Drew? Yeah. There's still a lot more about allergies now than we did 10 years ago, right, Drew? Yeah, yeah. But I... There's still a lot of challenges. But let's explore Adam's question, though.

John, do you have any childhood trauma, adverse childhood experiences? No. No, nothing. So there, Adam, there you go. You grow up parent, you like your dad, you like your mom. Yeah, perfectly fine. What do you do for a living uh i'm a beer importer uh-huh adam you know maybe we got off on the wrong foot yeah i i assure you i'm not crazy i just got no no no no no no no no one said you're crazy

that was no no nobody got crazy first off their song's called's called Crazy. It's not a pejorative in 2015. What kind of beer do you import? Do you do like an IPAs and things like that? A couple IPAs. We import beer from like 15, 16 different countries, mostly work with very, very small sort of artisanal craft breweries. Yeah, no, no, no, no. Look, I'm crazy.

No, no. Any interest in wines? Yeah. Novelty wines? Think about carrying Mangria, perhaps? That'd be a smart move. The opposite of crazy. Right there.

Having Mangria as part of your portfolio. That'd be awesome. Okay. Hey, John. So, John, listen. You're obviously a super bright guy. You've looked into this. You're on various fancy therapies.

I don't – you're talking about something awfully aggressive. And these things have real – every intervention you take has potential serious complications, right? Anything. Everything has a downside. It's a risk-benefit ratio always. Anything. Everything has a downside. It's a risk-benefit ratio always. Really examine whether these rashes or whatever you're getting, eczema, are bad enough for you to get that aggressive to be using alternative therapies that carry unknown risk, really.
