What are you doing out here Giovanni? I came out for a special trip to drink mangria and record commentaries on my vacation my buddy, and we do in San Diego And then I was having true probably tape in the mornings, and I got a little mad. I'm gonna come down I want to be at my two dads mm-hmm So I like that now super fan Giovanni knows way more about Love Line than me or Dr. Drew. It's true. Yep. Do. Someone was asking me the other night what was the band where the guy got... Sneaker pimps. Sneaker pimps where the guy got up and walked away and started to walk back to the

hotel. Yeah. In the middle of the night. Yeah. Middle of Culver City. It was awesome. And then the next night you guys played off- air audio of him yelling about it and you guys tried to talk him down, the band tried to talk him down. He had no money on him, he had nothing and he was found walking somewhere in Culver City. But the good news is the sneaker pimps have landed on their feet with multiple platinum award winning records and things like that, right? There were many, many bands like that, weren't they Adam? Yes.

We call them the Incidents and there's many of them. There's the Pennywise, the sneaker pimps the blur chumbalamba Uh-huh, they they've got kind of endless. What was blur doing? They're just kind of a kind of prickly and he was educating you because you didn't know what you're talking about You're talking about last night as I remember he had his feet up on the desk. He's sort of sitting back All right. Yeah There's ones that people don't talk about like Nickelback came on and they said they had insist upon smoking a joint in the

Studio with you and drew there and so drew just getting smoked out in the studio with Nickelback of all people What they the ones that want to show you their trans am or something it's a miff prowler I think is what he owns now the Nickelback guy has a permit Plymouth prowler Which is on Chris car for the most retarded individuals, but He the guy from Nickelback if I if that story Kroger or something I don't know I think I said sounds about right he had like a Plymouth he had a Dodge Stealth okay and he had a Dodge Stealth that was like four years old maybe it was like no it was like four years old, maybe it was like, no, it was like seven years old.

Because they stopped making the stealth in like, I don't know, the mid early mid 90s or something like that. But he had bought a Dodge Stealth. Mitsubishi also made a version of it. And he bought this car. It was about five years old. And he probably got it for 7,500 bucks maybe nine grand. I had just gotten I think a brand new BMW M3 or something crazy.

It could have even been an Aston Martin. No, it was before that. It was a BMW M3. And I just bought it and I pulled into the parking lot and the guy Chad from Nickelback was with us and I was saying Drew look at this thing it's got a straight six at 333 horsepower and Chad was like stealth over there I can open the doors automatically by just pushing this button on my keychain and I remember I was looking at his car it was a used car that was seven years old and kind of a piece of shit even in its day.

And every time I would say, and Drew, let me show you about the bolstering on the seats and the six-speed transmission, he'd be like, this baby has automatic windshield wipers. Remember that? Yes. And he went so far as to say, really, you should be checking out this. This is the vehicle for you, man. This is... Remember that? I say really you should be checking out this this is the vehicle for you man. This is Like I remember that vehicle from seven years ago when it was a piece of shit

It was such a weird it was weird. You were nice. You were not like outraged or condescending you were like, yeah I'm not so sure that's for me. You're like, but I'm kind of excited about this car I just got I kind of know some bad cars and this one's a clip of my cookie a little bit He literally made a deal about having the odd the doors unlocked by pushing the button Yeah Coming to remember at the drive-in. Oh, yeah that yeah that band Split up and became two asshole bands Going they kept going turns out we thought they disappeared. But

they were on the next night we had this band called Lincoln Park on the next night. And we were like, okay, those guys are going to be fine. Compare them to At the Drive-In in ten years. Did we have that conversation on the air? Yeah, there's tons of those conversations. There's a bunch of guests who are going to do coke in the bathroom too. I won't name them by name, but there's a few that come back. You guys are hinting at that. And then the Pennywise incident, the second one where you're there. Sgt. Mike Pupu's hitting?

Yeah, we have video, the scary cam footage. I heard that. And then Mike gave it to me and he was like, he says it's okay to admit that, but we have it and it's digital quality and you see everything. The cops there, Adam is taking a sip of his beer while Mike's playing an anti-drinking PSA because it can stop swearing. And then you're hiding behind Adam. Drew's actually cowering behind Adam a little bit. And Adam's sitting there sipping off the beer and he's grabbing more beer out of the box like, well I'm leaving at midnight no matter what. I must have been drinking Fletcher's beer.

Yeah, yeah. You just helped yourself. Oh wow. There it is, there it is. Wow, we have actual security footage. I got this off a DVD with a hole in it somehow. A hole in the DVD? Yeah, somehow this software magically repaired it. There's only one, like two frames lost

at the very end. So you mean like a BB hole? Exactly. Wow. That's while Andrew Mike had it. If you jump ahead, the action starts really later. That's Anderson's first night right there, we're in the flannel. I gave this to Anderson and he insulted me and said, how dare I give it to him? Like it's creepy that I had this. I'm like, well, Andrew Mike gave it to us because he likes the fans. Anderson's first night. Can you imagine that? Wow. Wow. It's crazy black and white security footage.

That's Jim, right? Jimmy, is that him? The guitar player? I didn't even know they had security cameras at that point. That's how they knew you jumped. You got to find this one. That's how you jumped on that console and kicked the shit out of them. With your muckluck. Oh! You broke the air conditioner, yeah. That was one of the great moments of my career. That was one of the great moments of my career.

That was one of the great moments of my career. Yeah, these are, you can go to, I don't know, where do you go to find this footage? Pretty much nowhere, but I'll put it up somewhere. Okay. Well, why put it up on? I don't think there's any problem. Enter Mike's school with it. Drew, you're the one that can speak on this. You're the one that's going to work for it. The cops were there.

I don't know that it's in the house. We'll put it on this page. On the Adam and Drew page. Oh, so that's how they found out that I took my Boot my muck a lot. I watched it jumped up. Oh, they watch it. Yeah, see what happened but we used to happen all the fucking time is I Would we would sit in our love line booth in the studio and it would just be sweltering It was just sweltering.

There's a few things that they just couldn't figure out. Like I'd say to them, we need new chairs. The chairs are so noisy they squeak and they rattle and they're falling apart. We need new chairs. And they'd be like, yeah, that's They're finally a listener sent chairs. From Minnesota, I think. Illinois, right? Well, I always think Illinois, but Amstutz, Minnesota. I think Adam might be right, but the best part was when you guys were switching studios and they said, what about these chairs? I'm taking them or I'm setting them on fire in the parking lot. I told those idiots, they're like, oh, those are our chairs.

I'm like, fuck you, they're not your chairs, you idiot. So what happened, but the story that I forget about, which I absolutely love is, and I should should remind I should remember to tell it more often I So we would sit in this room and it would just be sweltering and I would say all the time What's going on with the air conditioning somebody needs to fix the air conditioning is fucking sweltering in here And they'd go yeah, no it froze up it froze up they when they keep it on it freezes up ironically I said okay well I know what you know when people give you the I don't know why adults do this with other adults all the time where they go like look we need reliable transportation yeah

the cars broke yeah I know we need a way to get to the airport yeah I know the cars broke I know it is we need how many to get to the airport. Yeah, I know the cars broke. I Know it is we need how many laps you want to do like so I would kept I kept saying We need air conditioning in the studio. They would go. Yeah, it's broken and I'd go I know it is Fix it Anderson kind of healed. It wasn't actually broken. They just didn't want you guys tampering or monkey Somebody needs to fix it and I'd be too hot in this closet We're on in with all these lights on us, but just there's no ventilation. So at a certain point I Don't know. Maybe they did fix it or something and

Then I walked in and I said it's too hot in here turn the fucking air on in here and Anderson said in here turn the fucking air on in here and Anderson said Can't do it I said why and he said because they keep the thermostat and one of those little lucite lock boxes sitting It's on the wall and I can't get into it and I was like well get the key Open it up and turn the thing down. They don't give us the key. I said oh, they don't give you the key, huh? Okay, I got a key and and I climbed up on the console because I needed some height because thing was like four feet up the wall I just kicked it off the wall I just booted it wasn't one kick was like really no it was one kick I remember you bash it

went flying and then I said I said there's there it is well now now we can now we can access it and then were you aware or in retrospect are you are you a bit agitated that night probably yet okay james are good yeah well i had had enough but you are jaded before the conversation with anderson i think you probably a talk to

tear don't call me tar god damn it, maybe seconds before. That might have escalated you a bit. I had had enough of the fucking lethargy and retardism and stupidity that was that place. Like when I said, for instance, remember when they built the movie theater around us, like a Bugs Bunny cartoon? You had to plow it had to plywood over the ground. There was a Kathy Griffin that was complaining about being raped out there. Yeah, somebody took a tumble too. Well what would happen is if the person in

front of you stepped on the front piece of plywood it would kick up because it was warped and then you'd kick it if you're walking eight feet behind them and then you trip over it. So they would step on it, it would roll up. But you know what I used to say, Drew? I say it every day. I say, listen to me. They're going to build this. Okay. We are planning on moving from Westwood 1 back to K-Rock. Are we not? Yes, that is the plan. Okay. They're undergoing, undertaking a major construction project that is literally five feet away from where we're working That's gonna make our lives hell. It's a muddy walkway covered with plywood and drainage ditches and

All this is going on no place to park park down the street dark street found weird Armenian guy sitting on my hood waiting for me calling me an asshole one night so on and so forth It's true. So I said now listen to oh there it is me. Yeah, that's it That's there's we ended up walking picture of the muddy corridor just filled with garbage Yeah, and plywood now I said to everybody and I've done this many times of my life to be a parking lot drew Yes, I said We can do what stupid people would do which is wait until they're done building this monstrosity deal with all the fucking no place to park mud danger

garbage breathing in God knows what dust and all the inconvenience all thing and then move when we're when they're finished with the product or the project which would be an insane thing to do or we can do what smart people would do move now and not deal with any of this and then we were like well we want to move and I'd like then let's move and because K Rocks K Rock and Westwood ones Westwood one and everyone's everyone and Drew you're Drew You never back me up on any of this stuff. We just lived with this construction. It never fucking ended and then people were tripping over stuff and falling in ditches

and no security and the whole thing and I just eventually I think we moved because I gave him a time which... Why are you such an asshole Adam? That was Anderson's question to you. Yeah, I said here's the time when we have to move and that's it and then I'm not coming in after that And that was that but it's how we got a security guard. It's basically how we got chairs It's how we moved how we did everything is because I did treat people like kids and I don't know the logic And I guess there is no logic to you now that you have your own pirate ship here

Do you have those same kinds of conflicts or different frustrations? Basically people do what I say we're gonna do when we're gonna do it. Yeah, yeah different frustrations I was still stuff shit happens. Well, yeah shit happens, but for the most part people pretty much got their shit together around here It's not that kind of stupid but the point is is after I kick the thermostat off the wall Falling morning About 3 a.m. Maybe 2 30. I needed I need some technical help and I had to get my Zephyr hooked up and I had to call and I was gonna be on Howard Stern for five hours And I got up at like 2.30 in the morning.

Now I kicked the thing off the wall at 10 to midnight and then about two and a half hours later I got up and I actually couldn't get my Zephyr to work and I actually had to call into the studio where I kicked the thing off the wall and I said, hey, I can't remember who answered the phone, but I said, hey man, thank God you're there the phone. I said, hey, man, I need, hey, thank God you're there. Listen, I need some help getting patched in.

Times of the essence of calling in to Stern. I got to get the Zephyr hooked up onto the satellite. And he said, huh, maybe you should have thought about that before you kicked the thermostat off the wall. And I didn't do it two days earlier. I did it two hours earlier. I had to do that thing where you're caught, but you don't admit to it. I did it two hours earlier. I had to do the thing where you're caught but you don't admit to it. I don't know about that.

What happened to the Zephyr? Fans think that Drew got it from you from free somehow. Is that what happened? Got it from him? Yeah, that you somehow got the Zephyr from him because Adam never talked about it after that. Adam paid for it from what we know. You did? Where is my Zephyr? It's your Zephyr. That Western one Zephyr is your Zephyr?

I paid for it I think, yeah. I don't know. Did I give it to you? We've been trying to figure this out for years. I've asked you like ten times, you don't know. But Drew suddenly had one for something. No, I was using it all along to go when I was traveling too. No, no, I was definitely using it. But I was like carefully at school like this, you need to get back to Ron Harris. This is his thing. Yeah, it's got a special case. This is Ron's thing, this is Ron's thing. Where is it? I have it. Oh, then it's mine. Well, good. I want my Zephyr back. It's like the Dr. Bruce Lazer thing. Yeah, it's like having a beta

recorder now. I still want my Zephyr back. Yeah, if it's yours, I'm glad I've got it. Even if it's not yours. There's some moments. Don't make the criteria it being mine. Make it being it not being yours. But I got to the the idea of the switch back to K rock, right? I immediately flash on engineer Chris And all the abuse you gave to him over the years is a legend for taking it and oh my god, and now is it what a operator to hospital or something remember he's gonna be like a Person that work out for him because we don't know what we don't know what happened to Chris

It'd be interesting to know well Chris had a lazy eye and lazier thighs and I would say to Chris like Chris what's the plan what do you think what do you want to do in a few years there's your Zephyr I have my Zephyr all right thank you I still need yours because it's not yours remember the criteria yeah he'd go I I'd go, Chris went, Chris had some sort of abnormality, I don't know what it was. But he was a nice guy, he had a little arm or something.

But I'd say, Chris, what do you see yourself in a year? And he'd say, on the air. And I'd go, on the air? Voice talent. Talent? Yeah. Producing or on the air voice talent Talent yeah producing or or on the air Produce on on the air on the air talent talent on the air I'd go well Well, then you got to kind of step it up a little like you want to you got to start getting shots

You gave him like a minute to take control of show do whatever you want and he did exactly we just described Yeah, that whole place was sort of the same way producer Lawrence, junior producer Lawrence, Chris. Well that's the corollary to that story which is, Adam kicks back and goes, ah, producer Lawrence, you've been working with the likes of the Great Corolla all these years, the ace man. What do you learn? What do you learn from this? You know, you want to pay off the audience some radio. I'm sure you picked up a few little pearls from the Great Corolla over the years. What do you learn? I'm going gonna write these down because I never remember all of them. I remember the lack of education Don't need an education don't need an education

She's like she's like she's like and Chris the whole time was like, yeah, huh? Yeah. Yeah, that's right Lauren off the air by the way, we have a recording this so I can get you a list of everything You have a recording of it? Talking about it. Yeah, yeah, you don't need education You have a recording of it? I was talking about it. Oh, he's talking about it. Yeah, yeah. You don't need education.

You don't have to... Well, she actually gets on mic on the recording we have and she would read this all of them for you. You don't have to study or rehearse or anything. You don't have to prepare. No prep. No prep. It's who you know.

You can say whatever you want and come and go whenever you want. No, you can... They can't fire you. Yeah, they can't fire you. That was her... That's what you call a tell. I think emotionally, wouldn't you call that a tell? Yeah. That's where you go, oh you mean you think I should be, you would have fired me a long time ago, right? Unless you bring Tori

Amilsson. Yeah, they cannot, that's right, they cannot fire you. It's an interesting thing, which is why can't, first first off they got rid of people before me Why me? Well remember she's had to tolerate you all these years and she's figured out That you wouldn't possibly be still on the air if they could fire you Perhaps she attempted to get me fired more than more than one. I wouldn't doubt that that many of them Yeah, my whole thing, it was a, I think it was about, it's kind of interesting, Drew, because it's about the time where we started

to take a turn for the worst, we headed away from the light, meaning. 2003, is that what you're talking about? No, what I'm saying is, is this was like the first crop from the light. Meaning... 2003? Is that what you're talking about? No. What I'm saying is this was like the first crop of sort of participation trophy, me, people who kind of came into it. Like Chris... Oh, the world.

Chris was worthless. Oh yeah, interesting. Michelle was okay. You liked Michelle. Michelle was fine. Anderson hated her though because she sucked up to you. Anderson was worthless. I mean, in terms of he doesn't possess any calendar skill or

do anything to the drugs don't other drop that day my marginal test couple nights were truly left early and he played blood sweat tears for you a bit of it is saying whole time you have the most fathers you and anderson bonnet the drops there but still not which call talented person not nothing exceptional about him and nothing exceptional about her not a great producer I did ask her for she has a binder full of every photograph you guys have I offered to scan them for free send her Back copies not even keep them and no reply. No that you would have gotten suspicious if she would have replied she wasn't

Nothing there. I mean nice nice enough person But not what you call a talented producer by any stretch of imagination Lauren zero Chris zero lots of zeros floating around there who felt really good about themselves Tara don't call me Tara and who felt like I Held I had nothing on them that I my position was no greater than theirs I think that's a I think that's a manifestation of that societal trend. Wouldn't you say, Drew? That did not exist in the 40s or 50s. When the guy came in who was the host of the show, he was held in higher regard than the phone screener. Well Tara basically said you could not get her fired. Not that you would try, but she

basically said you didn't have the power to do it. She said I wasn't her boss and then she said I couldn't get her fired. But the whole place reeked of that. If it wasn't that, that's kind of how it worked. Do you see what I'm saying? So there were a group of either incompetent or semi-incompetent or at least non-talents. I mean, nobody there possessed any specific skill that had any value on the street whatsoever. And I think time will back me up on this.

I don't think anyone's going on to do anything over there that you could even call great or close to mediocre. So we've established that there's almost zero in the talent department, yet in the self-esteem department through the fucking roof. You could write a book on if you listen to those old recordings what they said to you on air. Everybody felt fantastic about themselves. Now listen, I may be a dick, but I'm a dick who possesses a specific skill that is worth several million dollars a year, your skill is worth

nine dollars an hour and getting me coffee. You have an attitude. I should not be a dick, that is true. You should not be acting the way you're acting. And at the end of the day, the defensive response to your being a dick, guess who gets to act the way they want to act? Me. Because I have the specific skill. No, it is not because I never instigated any of the stuff. I simply asked that this be done or that be done. The thing with Tara, don't call me Tara, she was watching The Simpsons on the TV show and laughing. All I did was tell her, look, we've had enough suicide calls for this hour, let's get some different. And she started laughing in the middle of my thing. And all I told her to do is, hey, let's focus here for a second

and get less suicide calls. And that's when she told me she didn't have to listen to me. I wasn't her boss and I couldn't get her fired. So if that's instigating something, that's me coming in and telling an employee who is a nine dollar an hour employee, hey excuse me, we need to do this and her interrupting me, well she wasn't looking at me, she was looking at the TV and laughing. She wouldn't take her gaze off the screen. What's funny about this is if this was Lycus or anybody else who recorded there, those people would fire an instant. Like you let them hang themselves but then you didn't try to ruin their life and get them fired. You just try to get them... No, I don't have to try to ruin their lives. They're gonna ruin their own lives because of this attitude. That was my whole point. Now, here's the question, Drew. Who is the asshole,

the one who points out the problem? I mean, you tell people they're alcoholics all day long, does that make you an asshole? Tara needed an adjustment. Lauren needed an adjustment. Ann probably could have used multiple adjustments. Anderson could have used an adjustment. All these people needed to be adjusted. Your chiropractor. That's right. Well, let's face it, their attitude was horrific. Towards you though. What are they doing now? Where are they now?

Adam Caroll emotional chiropractor. Twenty years on, where are they? What's going on? Turned out they all got their degrees, went off. Anderson, successful filmmaker. I can tell you what most of them are doing. Anderson's doing okay. Anderson and Bright are still doing the film vault, which only got big because it was here

first, which they can thank me for that later. And then the rest of them, Ann's still at Loveline. Yeah, these are my friends. I work with them. Yeah, it's wonderful. They're doing great. I know if I try to defend them now, things will get worse for them. Well, you can't defend them because Ann did a bunch of stupid stuff when I was there. We sat in an office with Kevin Weatherly and Ricky Rachman and she sold me down

the river. I mean, it was a stupid idiotic move. She bet on Ricky Rachman. I don't know. Time will tell with that one. We got a few more years. Right. The jury's still out on that. She did a lot of underhanded stupid things that she shouldn't have done. And I'm merely conveying the truth. I like Ann as a person. I'm not saying, but that's not, let's not confuse what she did with great producing. But I'm saying that perhaps there's a way for you to deliver your adjustments in ways that could be received. I don't need to. I've moved on.

You don't have to. No, you don't need to. They're hard at work and they're careerists. I'm just saying there is something to be learned in the whole dynamic as it played out. But look how it worked out though. Drew's here. There's a lot of smiles across the window in there. They seem to understand what I'm talking about.

Just saying, just saying, it's alright, you don't have to. There's a bunch of moments we don't have recordings of, we can probably get into if you guys want to, just a quick rapid fire. We don't have fart lighting, which Drew, you're the only person to witness Adam light as farts. We don't have farts like that. Well there was one, there was one, you remember that one? It was blue right? There was one that was an actual

mushroom cloud yeah remember that well there's the night when I had gas yes that was that night well there's another reason beer there's your birthday we're going upside down trash can the hallway there's fart lighting from 98 years there's many nights where he farted you at the studio well he farted me I have a seven-hour compilation on my show that's literally just Adams fart nice I describe it to him once and I'm just started cackling at me because I described crazy Yeah, I had a great I had a light my fart night 98 and then I had a birthday in 2000 blew you out Blew you outside down in the hallway. You're like, it's disgusting can't be there and then you had a cherries and beer night

We found out Rainier cherries and beer gave you the best gas like two years later Yeah, but you were forced out of the studio because of my gas. That could happen. Yeah, that could. He was tackling in the, in the, there's going crazy. Oh yeah, he laughs. It was your birthday. It was your birthday too. I don't remember that part. And somehow I also remember that you have the footage of us sneaking the mic out to the security guard. That's the only one we don't have. We have the second security guard audio, but we want the first security guard audio. The first one was so good. We're falling out on our belly with the microphone. Yeah, he's on arms and knees. We're doing it? You were.

You were. You were in the studio. And I'm doing it. I remember watching you do it. How did I get out there? I think I had a mic or something. No, you were holding down the fort. I think you were standing up on that screen we saw that Adam was walking. I got the extender. I got the extension on the cord. Yeah. They got Anderson got me the extension on the cord and I dragged the mic out. I heard that one live so I remember vaguely I remember Anderson not being too much of a fan of course you were like I don't know if it's a good idea but Adam was huge. Remember the guy was a big dude. He was a big dude and I didn't want to wake him up because when big dudes wake up sometimes they just flail you know so I was crawling out there. That's why the second time's not as good because you were more cautious but he got

hired back after he got fired for sleeping and then he slept again and then Adam's already teaching another lesson and It's not as good. So Drew. What's better big picture for this guy? Let him keep nodding off at work or somebody go dude You have sleep apnea will get it treated and then come back to work, right? But that doesn't work on him. No, you have to fire him or record him or do you understand you have a Somebody replaced him a nice wonderful black security guard who's just as effective right now. Reggie? Yeah, yeah. Reggie's good times.

Yeah, he's good times. I'll take a bullet for you. And listen, don't get me wrong, I liked all those people I worked with, but also don't get me wrong, they needed to be adjusted. You got your emotional chiropractic. And I need to be adjusted for them. Or rapid fire, what do you got? Well there's of course you eating the moths out of the vending machine. What? You were hungry with the vending machine it was such a piece of shit place. Yeah. You started eating it and you had larva and moths coming out of your mouth and then you're vomiting and then Adams laughing like crazy because it's hilarious.

Yeah the vending machine had shit in there from the 50s. I remember like a Daddy Long leg. You described larva, which was the most disgusting thing we've ever heard. The Pennywise thing, which you have your incident, we have the audio of a new video where you had a punch Fletcher and then we have a later recording when they came on and they told you how badass you were because nobody in the band has ever punched Fletcher before. They were like in awe watching you just punch him in the face. Yeah, but it was like, but I'm telling you, it was like a cartoon like punching a ghost. the band has ever punched Fletcher before. They were like in awe watching him just punch him in the face.

Yeah, but it was like, but I'm telling you, it was like a cartoon like punching a ghost. Like my hand went into him and came back out, he didn't budge. It was so weird. Just projectile vomiting. I wasn't trying to hurt him, I was trying to stand him up. So I wasn't really punching him hard, but it was still like, his skin didn't even move. But you were standing on Adam's Cabin. It's just like Adam standing on a console to break his finger. I built those in the old studio.

He had a, they had a, what was that lower ledge for? He had, he had things, a rack. cabinets like Adam standing on a console to break something off. I built those in the old studio. What was that lower ledge for? Walkers for the jocks? Was that what it was? I rebuilt the K-Rock studio, I don't know, in 94, back in the day when I was doing Mr. Burcham, but I was also a carpenter. So I needed to supplement my income because I wasn't making any money doing Mr. Burcham. So I went to Bean of Kevin and Bean's house and I built him a 20,000 space CD shelf for his house.

It was a wall of CDs. I turned the corner like you could literally hold 20,000 CDs, because that's how many he had. So I built him a wall of that. And then I built the studio cabinets in K-Rock. And what I believe I built was uppers, which just took the carts. I built all those cartridges, which is like a little 8-track cassette. But there was some sort of like-

The bottom were the lockers. Lockers, right. I put locks in them, I put doors on them, and that would be Rodney's locker and anyone who worked there, you know, all the other guys' little locker. There was a lucite, lucite, sort of, cannot counter, but it's sort of ledge, and the lockers were beneath. It wasn't lucite, it was just the lockers came out, like little lockers, and then it

stepped in. I stepped up on the lockers. And when I stepped up on those lockers, now I'm eyeballed eyeballed with Fletch. Yeah, and those things were 18 inches. Okay, that's with Fletch. Yeah, those things are 18 inches, okay That's how big he is. Yeah, and then I started punching what happened to the vomit trophy Like it stuck around for a while did I think me yeah leaking yes, it's it started to use Yeah, it was losing from the day. He brought it up. Yeah, he's not he's not very handy Yeah, it will he tried to put surfboard resin over it vomit

And I think he went to the Cheesecake Factory as I as I as I recall and Yeah, that was like one of super fun job someone needed to clean that up. Yeah. All right. Go ahead last one Well, there's there's a few more that we just have no recordings of that. We're probably never gonna get what what stands out to you guys I mean, that's what I want to know I want to know is Clive Barker the thing that stands out the most do we have all those bad religion? There's these guys that aren't really around on your network now, but they're your most famous guests You know barge and Clive Barker be my two favorite. Well the you have you know, that was good There was that was the rapist

But you never thought that was funny. I didn't think it's funny, but I was that night Actually, he finally did at a certain point he turned he turned the turn over. Okay I'm a rapist. I'll rest. You never thought that was funny. I didn't think it was funny, but that was that night. Actually, he finally did at a certain point. He turned over. Okay. I didn't like it. It made me uncomfortable. Okay.

But you got to trigger, we did so much for so many years. You have to kind of like trigger our memory. Don't you agree? If somebody says like, what's the grass called? I should... Well, you can't remember that stuff. But what about like Clive Barker and Barrelation was my favorite guess. I don't have I I don't have any recollection of anything

Broughten those action figures and yeah, you're obsessed with them. Yeah, the vagina dentata on it. Yes. Yes, it was weird It's weird. I have never would remember that I a very specific memory of lots of things and then this sort of everything was just sort of a hazy flash it is all blue by but that's how i'm wired i'm wired i'm a definitely look down the rotor and uh... i wish i'd brought a camera one day and it was just a picture spud i know but i mean i know and we listen we won

syndicated billboard a billboard show of the year also the sexual health one to or that one. Oh that No, but we we won like syndicated billboard radio billboard show of the year and We found out I don't know two months after we'd won it and I said And what do you get? You know you get there's a plaque or a trophy or something I said, where is it and she said it's in my office at K rock and I said say your couple months I said well, why don't you bring it in so we can check it out? Because we were at Westwood one and she was at K rock was in her office and she said yeah, I'll do that

I don't think we ever saw it. I probably asked four times like hey, how about you bring our Think as we finally saw well, you didn't know you find you find a number of months But I know I gotta find a final twist of this if everything could have been different in 2005 Would you want it to be would you have wanted Adam never to leave would you wanted everything to go down differently? Well here we are I know it's great. So I don't want to change but I'll answer first Adam would always say that if he's here in two more years kill him yes Adam would always say that if he's here in two more years, kill him. Yes. So the fact that...

I have my calendar. And he got to do a great morning radio show, this pirate ship got built. From that. We're friends. They offered me one-third of the money they were going to give Drew. It's just ridiculous. Well, they were trying to get me to leave, I'm guessing, Drew. But they seemed like they were driving a wedge between you guys, too.

You're right. That's right. So the question is, would we have done it differently? Hindsight. Because I think we both worked harder apart. Yeah. You know what I mean? Yeah. So I think, no.

And here we are back together. Yeah. So if this goes right, as I think it will. There's no if. I don't know what their plan was. To get rid of you and skew younger and more spank. No, I'm not going to forget it. They wanted to get rid of me to get someone younger or something in there. That was the goal.

Yeah, I remember Weatherly said, we want young, hip and Hispanic and funny. Stryker! And I said, good luck. And I left. And that was that. But I guess that's what they wanted me to do. But forget what they wanted. Would we have wanted it different? Well, I liked working with you and I like the chemistry and all that kind of stuff The problem is is they couldn't appreciate or understand it. I don't think they could. I don't think anyone who worked there understood it or ever did or maybe and ever will. I used to tell them Way back in the day when they first started talking about me doing something in the morning

I said take me and take Dr. Drew in the day when they first started talking about me doing something in the morning I should take me and take dr. Drew in the morning They're like well, I don't know about who knows what retarded plan they had the radio They don't know what the fuck they're doing as a result of all that we've wrestled it away and here we are I'm saying that we're doing it right People do know the fans is better than morning. This is I mean this is I I I concur but This is better than morning. This is the point. You know what I mean? This is...

I concur, but... We got Evan Drew back. It's great. All right. All right. So how's it worked out now that I'm gone? We don't need to answer that. You guys, all the experts, all the experts, you can just think about it.

I just like the story he told about his morning show when he had three guys in a regular basis for free that would share comedy, but Tarzabie thought they were comedy death. Oh yeah. Zach Galifianakis, Lucy Kay.K., Joel McHale. Yes, that's right. Comedy death. Who's ever heard of them again? So the point is that was at a certain point in time when maybe Zach Galifianakis and maybe

Joel McHale and maybe Louis C.K. weren't household names. Oh absolutely. No, they needed your show. But I think they're all multi-millionaires now and winning Grammys and Emmys and things like that and then there's the other group of people we spoke about and they don't seem to be doing as well. To be fair though one of them might have a pool and Joel doesn't. I knew about this but people didn't want to listen. Alright

superfan Giovanni toss out a plug for yourself yeah just go to geo podcast comm it's basically it's I've described it as old photographs of you guys and then I cut out other people's faces and insert my own show but there's another piece of the I've true Adam you know this that his parents have the same name yeah Chris and Jim I got Chris and Jim I heard a hundred times yeah I didn't realize it till I got like our fourth meeting and your birth date was like I think it's I think it's about Six or nine years and ten hours off from your kids And then also I was born the same year loved ones created drew remember the part where I was trying to get a plug It comes out. Yeah, you know, I'm just having to go over that super crucial information about I feel like being just 118 days apart

I mean not the same year, but just a scant 118 days apart in our birthdays. We did have to go over that. Okay, very important. I love Drew. People home listening were like, what separates them in terms of the day they were born? Well, I can chart it out for them. Please.

Quick break. Drew, you see a call you like up there? I see a couple of them. All right, let's see. Girl on the line. These are all good ones. All right. Good calls.

["Pomp and Circumstance March No. 1 in D minor"] All right, let's get back to the calls here. Let's get to the calls. What do we got? Drew, let me say something.

Please. I don't know, which may, you know, everyone thinks I have some sort of disorder, but the point is that- That's just Lin-na. Yes. People who live with you think that. And by the way, stop feeling your head.

I don't talk to you. I don't talk to you. Oh, believe me, believe me. She does. She drops the, Dr. Drew says you're nuts and everybody you work with. and I'm always like, well first off. Look at them laughing in there.

Look at them hiding too. As they said, as they famously said in Raising Arizona when they talked to the guy who had his kid abducted, they said, do you have any disgruntled employees? And he said, shit yeah, they're all disgruntled. I'm not running a daisy farm. That's what he said to the cops who asked if he had any disgruntled employees. Your employees, as I've said to my wife all the time, it's not important to me that we be best buds or that they even think of me as a nice guy. They need to think of me as an

equitable guy, a fair-minded guy, and a straight guy who will be straight with them. Do you know who first wrote those words? Adolf Hitler. Machiavelli. Better to be feared than loved. Not feared, but respected. Then he goes on to explain what fear is. I don't, I never had, incarnated as Machiavelli, it's awesome. I never had any great love for any of my bosses. I needed to know that they were decent, fair, and that they weren't ripping me off, essentially. Like, they weren't asking me to do things that were dangerous, or that they wouldn't do themselves,

or that they hadn't done themselves. I needed that. The part where they were telling me what to do things that were dangerous or that they wouldn't do themselves or that they hadn't done themselves. I needed that. The part where they were telling me what to do, the problem is the relationship is I tell you what to do and then I pay you to do it. So it's kind of the relationship you have with your gardener. Like you go out and you go, hey man, can you clean up all this brush here and whack that tree up and drag it out to the dumpster, it'd be like him going, hey man, why do I have... Well that's our relationship. And as far as the tone goes, you don't have to go, hey asshole, do this, but you can say,

here's what's gotta be done. And the idea is to do it in such a way where you don't come across, But I always say, look, everybody, second date, where's the second date? Second date theory. You getting a second date or aren't you getting a second date? Yes or no? My answer is where's everyone going? Where are you going? What do you mean?

I don't get it. When people genuinely do not like you and and genuinely do not like the workplace, they leave. They leave. Okay, got it. That's where they go. You don't call them, as I've said to Lynette, almost at any point, any time.

I call almost anybody I work with or have worked with. Some are electricians and some are engineers and say, short notice, but I need you tomorrow. And they go, what time? They don't go up now they show up you want to know why not because I'm a nice guy but because I pay them and I don't hassle them thank you okay invisible hand the invisible hand it works nicely all right also because they're talentless hacks and unemployable. Other than that, all

right, should we take some calls? Let's do line four. And Drew, believe me, Lynette drops, she drops your name every time we argue. Every time. Drew says, ask Drew. I have to inform her all the time. I don't give a shit what Drew says. Okay, I've not spoken to her about, to you in a long long time. However, I will tell about warn you I did say one thing ready and it's true and I was actually kind of gonna bring up these so now here we go You seem like a little more like not irritable, but angry not angry. Mm-hmm bitter Hmm, like like something's bugging you like deeply

not depressed not not, like I can, I don't know, I see your eyes, your forehead or something. And she prompted me, I said, well, I didn't notice it. And I'll talk to him about it. That's all I said. I think it's true, I think you're right. I think the problem is, is I've got too much on my plate and I'm in this constant mode of

fix, correct, take care of, correct, fix, take care of, correct, fix, move on, fix, correct, take care of. And I need to dial it the other way. Can I say that it feels like that you're approaching literally everything that way? And that may be why it's sort of like your your kids your family your cars your this place your employees Everything goes in that box. Mm-hmm Maybe you ought to take some stuff out of that box and just play with a little bit more. Well, that makes sense No, you're right. The problem is

they intersect a lot because I say to somebody, I need you to do this because I need to remove it from my tray because my tray, I'm carrying John Belushi's tray from Animal House after he went through things. So I got a bunch of stuff on it. Just check it out, it's in the cafeteria. Right, so I say, I need you to take the lime jello

off my tray and lighten my load. And I say I need you to take the lime jello off my train light my load and they say, okay. And then a week later or a hundred yards later, I go, where's the lime? Did you take care of the lime jelly? This is your, this is your extra grind with the world always, right? How come it's not a priority to you? I asked you to do it. You don't care if you didn't do it. You know, that's a thing for you. That's a deal Well, it is but only if you don't do it No, I mean I get it. I don't run into that very often because whatever I say the shit at him. I get it No, I don't scare him what I asked to do. I think are mostly reasonable Like they're mostly reasonable request. They're never me-oriented.

I don't have selfish requests. I don't go, why isn't my car being detailed? I always say, what's going on with the gardener? Or whatever it is, whatever happens, we go on. So the request, I make sure the requests are reasonable and doable before I make them. Let me just say the muscles in your forehead are literally relaxing while you're having this conversation Thank you. So something is needs to Yeah, no, I I do but also others need to change. It's not gonna happen. Oh, it does happen. No That may be at some cost though. Be careful. You got a lot of people just be that no. Yes No, yes, particularly people close to you. No, they need yes, they need to be them on

their time Not on my time No, here's what I'm saying. Do you see all those heads vigorously? They're careful not to let you see that but there's a lot of nodding going on in them. No, here's what I'm saying. Do you see all those heads vigorously? They're careful not to let you see that, but there's a lot of nodding going on in there. No, listen. Drew?

I'm listening. As a physician. Yes, sir. And a man of God, and a passionate man. You know firsthand that more kids drown in swimming pools than are shot by handguns. Right. Right. I had a major problem at my house

with the gardener leaving the gate open that was not visible from anywhere in the house, but that led directly from the courtyard where the kids played into the swimming pool. That's a big deal. That's a big deal. And the gardener would not, he'd go through the gate, but he wouldn't close the gate.

And my wife, who would be at home oftentimes when I wasn't at home, possibly on the road, I needed to impress upon her that she needed to impress upon the gardener that he needed to close the gate. Neither one of them, at the initial stages of this, did a very good job of executing this wish, which could have ended up with my kids executed in the swimming pool. So letting them be them was probably not the answer in that instance. Because letting them be them means gate open, possibly kids in the pool. I could not let them be them. The gardener was doing what he does and Lynette is doing what she did. And I needed to get

in and explain to them why this was not acceptable because it could have literally ended up in the death of one of my or both of my kids. So I did that and somewhere around the third to fifth time when it was not being executed I had to up the ante. I eventually docked the gardener. I literally took 50 bucks away from him. I said you can't, I cannot have you leave this gate open. I had it out with Lynette. Lynette said I told him, I said but he's not listening, but I told him, but you must go out and check after he leaves and things like that. So I did not let them be them because them being them could have ended up in the dead

kit. Let me make another proposition, another way of doing that. What would you have done then, Drew? I think it's brilliant to take the money away and then go, I'm gonna give you that money back in six months plus a tip if that gate is never closed again. But the answer, your proclamation was let them be them. No, no, no. Well then, with dealing with the wife, I would go, we're going to fight about this.

Me being right is not as important as us getting along and having a life together. I'm going to go put a spring-loaded thing on that damn door and just be done with it. Right. But he could have thwarted the spring-loaded thing. I'm just saying. Forget the gardener. The gardener, I think that's right. You interviewed the gardener.

When it comes to your wife, being right is you lose. When somebody's right, the relationship loses. All right. Well, no. And that's the... You know it's important. It was, she loves those kids a hell of a lot more than I do. I know, but you were right.

I wanted to kick them out of the pool. But you were right in trying to get to change her behavior, but I would just go around that, I'll make another change myself. Let me explain something. As far as them being them. I could put a spring-loaded hinge on there and a hasp and a this and a that,

during one of the few moments I'm not on the road, I'm not here doing a podcast, I'm not working on the book. I would have to take time out from doing and physically be there because I would be on the road. So- To put the spring loaded thing in you mean? To physically do it. Do it, right.

That's true. So now we have an issue because I'm not physically home a lot of the time. So I'm gonna have to carve out some time to do this, but what I'm saying to you is take this jello off of my plate because my arms are getting tired from holding this tray. I'm not disagreeing with you. Well you're saying let them be them. No I'm saying. You said let them be them. Yes yes I did. That's no pool gate shut. But what I'm saying is. Is that true or not? That's no pool gate closed if you don I'm saying is- Is that true or not?

That's no pool gate closed if you don't take any other actions. Right, that's letting them be that. Let them be that. Okay. So let me- So you're four dead children. I'm four of them, that's right.

You're four drowned children. Right, we've established them. We've established them. Mm-hmm. But- Mm-hmm. Hey, yes, listen. Listen, what I'm trying-

Drew, I agree with you 100% in that the tone should have always been, perhaps you didn't hear me correctly, or maybe I overstated something, or I know you're busy, but understand if I'm frazzled from the, frayed from the road, and this is the third time, and I'm literally talking about a life and death situation here. The tone is going to get ratcheted up. You're right. Mike doesn't hear that tone very often because Mike simply shuts the gate. It's work ethic. It's not that you know Drew you joke but I'm not scared of Adam it's just I like to do my job well, whether it was for Adam or for Jimmy Kimmel.

Oh man, you've got him completely pushed down. He is completely, you beat the shit out of him. He's just a robot now, man. Jesus. No, I agree with you, and I'm working on this at home, but as far as changing people, yes, I do change people. The Gardner changed, shut the gate, and Lynette is on top of her game now

Good, she's doing a great job. Well done, but I bet your relationship suffered. You got it. You got to make it It did temporarily. Yeah Temporarily, I'm just saying the people you know girls. They'll harbor stuff. Don't think about it I I made the decision to try to keep my children alive In my home. Enough said. Okay? I'm just saying, next time, remember that you just think, is the relationship just getting

along more important than me? Kids being alive? Not the kids being alive, just the next time. Next time it's not a life or death thing. That's all I'm saying. No, I know. The problem is not with that. The problem is not with that the problem is this I need to ratchet back

Yeah, my schedule because my shit is too crazy I don't have the time yes, too And what it is is I don't have the time to go back and revisit a lot of the Discussions I had with people and so what ends up happening is I get Kurt in short with people because I'm having up happening is I get curt and short with people because I'm having a conversation and I go look this the Camaro is not gonna be ready for Laguna Seca scratch it off the list let's focus on the Z car and move forward from here and then my buddy Les goes I bet if I got those

brake calipers for the Camaro and I go it's not gonna happen let's move forward on the Z and I go I could get him gonna happen, let's move forward on the Z. And I go, I could get them on E, and now I get pissed because what it is is I'm juggling four things. If I was on a hammock somewhere, I would wax on about break calipers for 20 minutes, but I have another call coming. And so it ends up being Kurt.

But there's two ways to avoid this problem. One is I can take a chill pill, but the other is once I make my proclamation Everybody listen to me just moving on but the good news is the proclamation has never put a coat of wax on my van And give me a blowjob. It's always something maybe trivial more than Mike get out the knee pads and the carnauba wax. Yes, sir Robot Mike speak honestly Mike by the way please Adam Mike first off speak honestly speak honestly Mike be honest

go ahead is there a question I don't know. Drew will not sleep. Drew, Drew cannot sleep until he's I'm just giving you shit. I know. Until he's decided to infect everybody with this notion that I'm a tyrannical leader and a despot. And to cross me is to enter some ring of hell. No, no, no, it's better than that.

It's better than that. That you get painted with that brush already and I think it's actually unfair. So I think it's funny to make a thing out of it. Drown my kids and destroy my relationship. Is that funny? Yeah, that's funny. Is that funny?

But to shine a light and to see you, it's funny. I don't think you're that. I don't think you're that. Okay, all right. Okay. You've known me for a long time. Just beat these people into pulps with their robots. All right, what call? We got to take some calls.

Let's do the retrograde. Line four. Line four. Antonio? Yes, sir. 32, Hollywood. What's going on? Well when I have sex and ejaculate I ejaculate but I don't I mean I have the sensation of it but I don't actually ejaculate there's

no sperm that comes out. So it goes back up into his bladder. Smokeless cigarette that's right. I love that. Right it should be a good thing. Are you on any medication? The world is your oyster. It's your beat-off oyster. Well, I'm married and we're trying to have a kid. That's the whole problem. Oh, that is tough. Are you on any medication? Yes, I'm on some diabetic medication and a cholesterol pill. Drew, I'm not a scientist, but that makes you gay, right? When you... Yeah, you're having sex with yourself. And he's's a guy and it's a guy with a guy.

Yeah, when you come inside of you, it at least makes you bi. No, no, no, gay. Oh, gay. Sorry, sorry. Go ahead, I'm not a doctor. So, are you on, what are you on, Metformin or something? Yes, sir. Okay.

Diabetics can have this problem kind of spontaneously. Have you had periods of not such good blood sugar control? Yeah, definitely. So this is probably... I've got it way under control now. No, I know. I didn't say that. I said you have it under control. Oh, okay. And so it's probably more to do...

The most common thing is medication by far. But diabetics can have this as part of the diabetic syndrome. And there are ways of treating it. It's not easy. It's not as though it's not reliably treatable, but usually you can get it so you're having something coming out at least some of the time. So you've got to talk to a diabetologist about this. There's a, I think, Cyproheptadine and all kinds of funny little medicines they use to try to reverse this, but it's not dangerous. It just is an issue when you're trying to have kids. Are you a big guy, Antonio? Oh, I forget. Okay enough. All right. You told him what to do. Yeah, we'll do it Adam

24 Austin, Texas, what's going on? Adam drew honor to talk to you. Thank you Well, I met a girl online about four or five months ago, she's very pretty very nice. We enjoy each other's company Things are getting a little serious uh... which i'm not to travel about the question i guess i had it in the past she told me i guess in the past that uh... she had some sexual abuse her parents took her to a psych ward for a week

uh... and i guess my question is this really didn't turn me off it's kind of weird i don't know if There's something wrong with me something wrong with her or what? Well, how is she now? Right? She had treatment. Oh, yeah She's had treatment. She's great. I guess I mean my thing is, you know, I just don't know she's getting really serious with me She wants to take things really serious, which is fine. It's just kind of weird You know, I've only known her for like four months and okay. So yeah, so she's sort of excessive Let's say yeah. Yeah, and they're very excessive

Yeah Excessiveness may have something to do with her trauma and it may make it very difficult for her to break up if you indeed Do you ever break up? But and it can instill a little chaos in the relationship But I think the important thing is just that she's had treatment or continues in treatment. It just, you know, just, how long was she sexually abused for? I think it was just a one-time thing. She really didn't go get too specific about it, but yeah, just a one-time thing.

So that doesn't have to be any, no, no, no, I think you're okay. Just be careful and be ginger with her. You're, but Adam, you're a sensitive guy. Obviously a genius because of the first name. Of course. You're from Austin so you know what's going on. So the point is you trust your Spidey sense and if she starts crossing into some area that you're not comfortable with then it's time to bring her back or if you can't bring

her back then it's time to leave. Or get her treatment. I'd say even that. Well that's part of bringing her back is what I'm saying. Make sure she's back in treatment. How old is she? She's 22. She's 22.

All right. So you guys are kind of young, but calm her down a little bit. How old is she? She's 23. I guess the thing is, you know, I don't dare you. All right, Drew, come on. Let's got to push it along. Okay, go ahead.

Kelly, scared of commitment. Kelly? Hi. 21. Okay. Uh Kelly scared a commitment Kelly Hi 21 Philadelphia what's going on? Okay, so I've been dating this guy on and off for like the last two years And the pattern goes that like hold charming into liking him whatnot We start dating for like a month or two, but then once things start getting really comfortable. He gives me like this whole But then once things start getting really comfortable, he gives me like this whole, so I've been thinking speech with like some lame excuse. And this has been going on for two years.

Yeah. All right. That's it. Get run. Run, not for you. Moving on. There's no fooling. And look, the people that do that thing where they go, I got two years of my life wrapped

up into this. Good. You went three years, seven years, 11 years? It's not going to work out. How many years you went wrapped up? It is not going to gonna work out it's not not him not his thing moving on it's either either he's not that into you or he has trouble with relationships whatever it is he ain't this is not gonna change he is something magically he's gonna wake up tomorrow go oh last two years what have I been doing but the

good news is you're 21 yeah and it And by the world is your oyster because that's all the world is. Indeed it is. All right, let's talk to Amy. Amy? Yes. 45 Cincinnati. Hi, Dr. Drew and Adam. I am calling because I am concerned about my older sister. I think she has a drinking problem. She mentioned to me at Christmas that she had lost her license, and I asked her how, and she said she wasn't ready to talk about it.

So I expected... Okay, so Amy, Amy, this is not that I think she... Here's the opening, Valerie. My sister has a severe alcoholism problem. Well, Drew, everybody who gets a 502 or a DUI does not have a drinking problem, although it is a marker for these things. It's a marker for it, but if they've had it sufficiently to get their license revoked, then we got a severe problem.

Yeah, but it all depends what we're talking about. But this whole thing where people say, I'm not ready to talk about it, I just assume the worst, so you might as well talk about it. Right. And so I just want to know if there's a good resource that I can use to help me understand the situation better, if there's ways that I can talk with her about it. Yes, Amy. Now, you've asked a great question in a great way, and I'm going to give you a very specific

treatment intervention that you must do if you're going to be effective with your sister. Okay. You ready? You go to a program called Al-Anon, you go regularly, you get a sponsor, you work the program there, and it will markedly change your understanding and ability to deal with your sister. If you don't do that, you'll be part of the problem. Does she have a husband or adult children? Her husband died three years ago in 2009 and he was physically and mentally abusive to her. Fantastic. Beautiful. Adult children?

No. No kids between them, huh? No. Well, that's good, I guess. But now she's been traumatized for a long time and now she probably has some guilt because there's part of her that's glad that the guy died, I'm sure. Yeah, or maybe she has grief unresolved. Whatever she escalated her drinking or maybe part of the abuse was him beating down her drinking.

Who knows? Al-anon, al-anon, al-anon. Al-anon for her. And then you'll get your sister into treatment. That will help you do that. Larry? Hey, Adam. Hey, Drew.

Larry? 28, Los Angeles. What's going on? First of all, let me give you guys the idea for the bumper sticker. Let them be dead because sticker let them be dead because you let them be them let them be them uh...

about the military it's a bit of a lot of one day you know the great john lennon once said uh... let him be listen for to clarify that in the in the in a close relationship, I'm advocating not trying to change the other person. That's all I'm saying.

You know, but here's an interesting point, because it's mine. I am not trying to change the... Please, hold on. Her core self, I get it. I'm not trying to turn my wife is one of the nicest loveliest lovingest just purest people I've ever met and I love that about her and I never want to change that nor do I attempt to change that but there is an element where the house for good or for bad becomes a sort

of a business because you have to run it. And I'm physically not there or wasn't there for quite a bit of 2010, 11, and 12. So there were things I needed done business-wise, not core-wise. These were just business things. And I know that's the problem is it's just business. But at a certain point, the gates and the whatever have you become a sort of a business proposition. And that's what I needed.

And that's what she's doing, by the way. But she's still the same person. I'm not advocating that you put your kids in danger, but does your don't put a sweater on every kid philosophy, did we talk about that this morning? Does that apply to how you should deal with your spouse is like give her stuff to do and let her learn how to Do it not you insist on her doing it your way You know me let her fall down and fall down and fall down and then learn how to do it. Well What what for me as a person who's been to the dark side, I've seen it all.

I've had days where I couldn't get off the sofa the entire day. I grew up in that environment. I know what it is to be productive and I know what it is to be unproductive. So I know both sides. I've lived both lives. It was a funny thing. It was it was funny because During I had a laugh about this with my wife, but Pat Bruno my cousin who's super cheap and super whatever And from Philadelphia and everything like that. I was busting her chops over Christmas because like she's she's 79 years old But she's sharp sharp as a tack. I said Pat you gave me a nickel

Well, I would get a card for my birthday. I got a nickel for every year I was on the planet. So when I was 11, I got 55 cents. And I said, that's cheap. And she said, that's practical. That's all we had. We didn't have money. And I said, Pat, I know what it's like to be poor.

And I know what it's like to be cheap. and I know what it's like to be cheap. And there's a difference between being poor and being cheap. And she said, oh, Adam, get out of here. You don't know what it's like to be poor. And me and my wife had a laugh about it because it's like, are you fucking high, old lady? Of course I know what it's like to be. First off, I grew up in a house with these two,

meaning my parents. If you didn't know what it was like to be poor, they'll give you a crash course in it, anytime you like. There should be a learning annex. Anyone wants to know what it's like being poor, go hang out with my parents. They will teach you what it's like to be poor.

Immediately, Corole learning annex. Two. Being poor. I was 30, I didn't have car insurance, health insurance, dental insurance. I lived paycheck to paycheck. I made 14 bucks an hour, I got paid cash, I live in a house with three dudes,

but no heater or air. I don't know what it's like to be poor, Pat. I know what it's like to be poor. I've been there, and I know what it's like not to be poor, and I know what it takes to get from there to there. And I can impart that wisdom upon you. So what you're saying is- Or you can call me an asshole. Which she'll do anyway.

So now you, you, Mr. Rolos, send ten cents to your nephews, nieces and things. Now they get $100 Amazon gift certificates. All right, Larry. All right, well, this is my question. My wife likes for me to pinch in between her toes, and it's very specific. It's between the ring and the middle one on both her legs and then kind of... You have a ring toe? Well, I guess he means the fore. Well, I don't know how to explain it, but I actually get sexually aroused that way.

I'm not sure if it's a fetish, and I wanted to ask Dr. Drew if he's heard of this or this comment. I have not heard of it. It sounds like an easy, like a new version of the female, like the way they start cars now with a button. Christmas has to be great. Like, oh, sweetie, another pair of flip-flops. Thank you so much.

I'll add them to the huge hopper flip-flops I have. Yeah, it's just her. I don't know if it's her wiring or her... it's an interesting thing, but people have all kinds of little interesting wiring things. And look, unless this is, oh, she likes this and she likes to cut on herself. Right, or takes over, it's like only, I can't touch her except between her toes. Yeah, then it's fine. Sometimes these things are markers for other things and it's not a bad idea to keep Eyes open for that. But if this is it Have it have at it and it could be it could be worse Could be like she wants me to put my eyeball in her asshole

That's an issue. Alright. You want to come out and see us? Slow down. Don't kid yourself. Eyeball in the asshole is an issue. No, there's whole websites.
