The Adam and Dr. Drew Show - The Age Factor (The Adam and Dr. Drew Show Classics)

Episode Date: February 4, 2025

Adam and Drew go over some old notes from their classic Loveline days. They also take listener phone calls on significant age differences in couples and consistent Adderall use.

This is Corolla Digital. Recorded live at Corolla One Studios with Adam Corolla and board certified physician and addiction medicine specialist Dr. Drew Pinsky. You're listening to the Adam and Dr. Drew Show. Oh, so much to discuss. Thank you so much for tuning in. And if you like what you hear, share it with a friend, everybody. Spread the word. We rely on you. We don't do outdoor advertising. We don't do electronic advertising. We don't do radio, TV spots. We just do word of mouth.

But it's been working nicely and we count on you to tell your friends, tell a family member, tell a coworker. Good to see you Dr. Drew. Adam, what's happening? Oh man, stuff to complain about. Lots of complaining. Before you complain, I want to tell you something.

I found a list of, you may remember compiling this, but we did this years ago, sources of humor that were very popular in the 60s, 70s, maybe even 50s, that just lost. They were just routinely parts of the humor lexicon. Well, if you watch any of the old sitcoms and I say, you know 70 60 70 sitcoms or you watch By the way even worse that cartoons of that era, right? They would just Recycle the same four or five premises and jokes over and over again Right like like I think one that might be familiar to people would be like a Gilligan's Island thing.

You get hit over the head, you have amnesia. Or you become Mary Anne, whatever. It was the worst message you could send, knowing what we know now about repeated head trauma and football players getting back in the game when they're concussed and things like that. Gilligan would get hit on his head with a coconut and lose his memory and not know who

he was, and the only way to regain it would be more head trauma. The skipper would hit him with a skillet at the end, you know, middle act three, and he would regain his back. He's back. Like a bell, right? Brought back in. There was, so I worked under the loose premise that more head trauma would cure the initial head trauma. If you have some serious head injury, first you gotta shake your head and

just get on with your business even if you can't remember anything. Second, be sure to get hit in the head again. And we gotta find a way to sneak up on you and do that to bring you back. As it turns out, the real trauma happens the second time around ironically when you're getting your memory back. But then there was always souffle humor. Souffle humor like the Brady Bunch always. You're going to put. Always. Alice would put a souffle in the oven in act one and what would happen was is Peter would come in through the kitchen door and walk in with his books under his arm and slam the door and owls go whoa the souffle will drop the souffle what a simpler time we're living in

I'd love to talk to her hey let me just that you can show your fingers Susan your wife yeah you've been married for how long i show figures now twenty one years how many supplies issue back to you in the twenty years but same monday june sunday zero uh... we're getting fucked in the sense of play and how many times i come home and

ask for that i don't know it listen one shouldn't have to ask for a souffle. One should just get a souffle. I don't even know what kind of souffle. What is a souffle? I think I know what a chocolate souffle is. All I know though, it's so good that if you go to a good steak joint, you have to ask. They give you the option to ask for it in advance. Yeah, but those are dessert souffles. Alice is like cooking a cheese souffle or something. It's always never the dessert souffle. They're cooking Well, either way, there was a lot of that souffle is gonna fall be quiet humor And then at a certain point in act three it would it would fall

There's the boss is coming over for dinner premise which every fucking sitcom It was back when bosses were bosses, you know what I mean? Now your boss is some jack-off in cargo shorts. He's trying to be your best friend. Not this one, by the way. But all these other guys, like, hey, dude. They know. Up top, dude. Hey, dude.

It's more unbelievable to them to have thought that having you over to their house for dinner that's even a fucking house. How animals live on top of each other and fucking shanty towns Listen to me the boss wore like a fucking three-piece suit. He had a mustache You know what I mean in a pocket square right here, and yeah, you know my mustache training Yeah, dark mustache white hair, and he came in and he judged Like he'd come into the house and remember the mother-in-law would do the white glove treatment. Yeah, she'd come in and drag her finger Someone hasn't been dusting

There'd be a lot of commercials about super picky mother-in-law's I picture my mom coming into my house Picture mom wearing a white glove. Oh Boy, and what you just forget coming in and checking for things, putting on a glove. Yeah, like, you know, like I could picture, like they'd have all these commercials. You picture my mom coming into my house and staying in like a super nervous Lynette. What'd you make Adam for dinner last night? You know, he loves pot roast. Oh, you ordered out?

Interesting. Has somebody been smoking a cigar in here? And then the white glove comes out and you fucking nuts? Although as the recipient of the guy who would be on the winning end of the soufflés in the pot roast and the white glove. You miss it. Miss it. I never had it, but I take a little of it.

I take a little of it. In that same camp There were two other things that you're going along with this all sort of exotic Cultural references to that it stayed voodoo doll Tons of voodoo dolls were virtually every household it seemed like yeah, and it was actually it was a science You back then what worked it worked? Well if you said to somebody Back then with a lot of voodoo doll stuff going on I mean they used to sell voodoo dolls. Yeah, like in the novelty store

Like you said to somebody do you believe in voodoo dolls? They go I don't believe in it If someone had a voodoo doll of you and put a pin in it, would you be okay with that? They absolutely not No way why someone have a voodoo doll me because I'm feeling some pain in my sciatic nerve right now. So yeah, all right. Yeah, voodoo doll. And then the other thing back in the alignment of the family and the husband's position is all sorts of pregnancy related humor. A lot of, well, you know, guy drives off without the wife. Oh, oh, oh oh if there was yes if there was they didn't have a fucked out oh meter

In the writers rooms back in the day. It was quite the contrary. I think they do it where they go Hey, they just did this joke on Dick Van Dyke. Yeah, I know that's why we have to do it like every single cartoon Yeah, I know that's why we have to do it like every single cartoon every every television show every commercial Everything was the wife's pregnant and the wife's super calm The guy is in hysterics and a certain point in act two. He's explaining Okay, I've got this timed. I've got it planned. The hospital is eight minutes away I have your suitcase. Remember the big suitcase? Yeah, this is the script. This is Act Two for every single cartoon sitcom. It's packed. It's by the front door. I have my checklist. It's get the suitcase, put it in the trunk of the car,

drive to the hospital, and then so there'd be that move where she'd go Steve yeah what see I think it's time time for what time to eat her no time time and then he'd start running in circles and then he'd grab the suitcase and then he'd hop in the car and he'd peel out down the driveway and then he'd be hauling off down the freeway and it's calming her down No, no talking to her like it's gonna be okay, honey. Oh, no, no, no, okay Drew you okay screwed up. I'm screwing up the biggest joke of all She's not the car. I understand that I get it. Oh, he's talking to her I've seen version Fred Flintstone talks to me. Oh, well, maybe sit in the back of this back back back of the car something

Yeah, there's been a part where then the cop pulled them over the motorcycle cop Mac What's the hurry? Where's the fire? Hi my wife? She's your wife. You're the only one in the car Oh my god, it's smash cut to the police escort, you know, maybe just do all the police escorts I used to think that was a viable option By the way, I'd love to talk score was not one cop. It's like two motorcycles I understand it'd be the guy but be the guy who pulled him over now in front of him going to the hospital Yeah, by the way Long a long-gone era by the way with all the chicken shit

Non-stop chicken shit tickets being fucking handed out the raping of the citizens. Yes. Any there drug i got a whole i got a ton of i think may have saved the rest for a second i got i got like thirty alright uh... let's see couple things we never uh... got to the uh... bottom of your son his health me telling you to calm down right course of course now what was going on what happened a model tonight same model, you said... No, I said mono. You probably did at one point. Don't give me...Drew, don't do this. Don't do what you always do.

No, no, I'm not saying you didn't say it. I'm not saying you didn't say it. Yes, you are. No, no, no. First thing you said was no, and now you're backtracking. You may have said it. Remember you said something with the tick-borne or something? Remember that? We talked about that. Remember that? I was like, yeah, it could be. I was thinking that. No, first thing I said was mono. Yeah, all right. You're right. All right. And then you said now, you said he's been checked out. He was tested for that. Well, how would I know that if I didn't say mono? No, no, you

did say mono. I'm going to say you didn't say it. No, I've got, I pulled you to you said it. Yeah, okay. Why do I got to drag you kicking and screaming at what I said? Okay. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. No, I said mono and you said he got Why do I gotta drag you kicking and screaming at what I said? Yes sir? Yes sir. No, I said mono and you said he got tested for mono. And the mono test initially was negative. Well of course, that's why you thought he didn't have mono when I said he had mono. Then later on I said Lyme disease and you went, what?

And I said Lyme disease and you went, that's a good one. Well I said tick-borne diseases are things I was thinking about, it's a move to calm me down a little bit to when you were saying we could be something else I was like yeah they could be so hopefully it is something else alright so we had mono yeah sick as hell for like a month okay alright so who got who got the answer first you listen I told you you were you calm me down a lot Drew was a mess mess. I was a mess. That's great. Yeah.

All right. But why do you choose? You don't have to be a mess. Do you know what I'm saying? That's a decision. You didn't have to be a mess over Mono. Yeah, but it really didn't look like Mono. No, but it looked like anything other than being,

it didn't have, it wasn't mess-worthy for you. No, it was. No, it wasn't mess worthy for you now it was it really well then how come it never is well I'm not saying I don't have a problem that with anxiety okay well you do you you look it's it's it's okay to be concerned but you don't have to be a mess yeah that's that's my point but listen I was shocked I was as much of a mess as I was I was shocked Alright, I thought you know ten years of therapy of my anxiety be a lot. Let me tell you something. No, no, you're getting messier That's the problem. Really? Uh You a little bit

Well, let's look at anything. I mean, let's let's let's really Well, let's look at anything. I mean, let's try to figure out, and I include myself in this group. Well, I'll dig. Who, I mean, whatever you got, whatever's going on with you. My anxiety thing. With anyone. Okay. With one.

With one. Whatever your thing is, whatever your MO is. Yeah. You can either actively and intensively pursue correcting it, or as the years wear on, you probably get deeper into it. Probably gets a little bit worse, right? And I would say for sure for anxiety.

I mean, this is an age-related anxiety disorder they like like my my Brethren say their parents become spilkas spilkas You know old people kind of yeah, right? That's an age-related anxiety disorder So as you age anxiety does often time get worse and I've got a genetic history in my family for a lot of source Uh-huh. Yeah, so what you're doing is you're doing a little more flailing with the arms, with the flippers, a little bit more. You noticed that right now. Yeah but I didn't notice it as much. You've always done a lot of flailing.

Yeah. You're doing a little bit more flailing. No, I could see that. And you're doing a little more, but you know some of this is technology, but a little more like on the phone, kinda ta ta ta ta ta ta. Well that was for sure when he was sick, I was way up in that stuff. Yeah. And this, you know, we've upped the anxiety a little bit.

Little bit. Let me ask this, would you say it was the last month that it's been that way, or it's been that way since we've been back doing this? Because it feels like the last month has been bad. Yeah, I can't figure it out. Your idiosyncratic sort of ticky, kinda banging around, moving around, flying around things a little,

it would have ratcheted up a little bit. And other than that, you know, listen, you're cool. I'm just saying, you may, you know, listen, you're cool. I'm just saying, you may, you know, which I think, you know, if you're a phonograph, I think you'd want to slow, try to slow dial it down a speed or something. That's true. Get a little that. Speaking of not getting any better,

I got a letter from my mom. Ooh. In the mail. Oh. Got a letter in the mail. There's no one in my family emails, I don't think. What did the letter say? It was not flattering. But. Can you bring it?

You know what? It was funny because Lynch said to bring it you know what it was it was funny because Lynch said to bring it and then I I threw it out and I was what do I gotta do? It's not it's not fucking bulletin board material. It's not refrigerator worthy. You know, I know that read it No, I mean, I just told her I got a letter from my mom. I want to do it I I'll try to do I have in my all I I got a letter from my mom. I want to do I I'll try to do I have in my all I I have Recyclable sort of stack of crap in my office that I threw pretty sure I threw it in and I'll take a look I didn't see it though I I did take a look last night because I was gonna bring it in but I didn't find it but I'll find it's

Basically, it's an interesting It's it's it's an interesting topic and an interesting thing, which is my mom is wounded perpetually and sort of a mess. And she's the opposite of, I think, what you and I are in the sense that, like, if somebody says to me, a Brillo head, I don't need to say, take that back, apologize to me, because I realize that person thinks I'm a Brillo head. Right. That's not going to undo it. Right. They can say, I'm sorry I was out of line,

but that's not really going to correct their thinking. Right. And I've gotten into into things and I'm not interested in people Apologizing to shut me up or just for the sake of you know You know you say something on the air one of these watchdog groups gets a hold of it They complain to the general manager of the radio station then that you force some fucking apology that you don't even mean, and somehow they're satisfied by this, but

it doesn't mean shit because you don't feel that way. And I realize that that is, that's a fool's errand, getting somebody to apologize to you. And I've had things with my mom- Let's cut to what she said. Well, hold on. I've had things with my mom where she said like, hey, what you said was hurtful and I want you to apologize to you. And I've had things with my mom. Let's cut to what she said. Well, hold on. I've had things with my mom where she said like, hey, what you said was hurtful and I want you to apologize for it. And I've said, I'm not apologizing for it because I didn't mean it to be hurtful.

And it wasn't hurtful. Well, I felt it was hurtful. Like what? What did you say? I need you to apologize. Oh, fucking a million things. What would people, here's what people don't realize in life. Here's what people need everyone please listen to me listen to me. Everybody has a list a ledger there's a happy side and a sad side to the ledger every time your fucking phone rings and you look at the caller ID, you make a decision. Are we on the happy ledger? Are we on the sad ledger? What's it gonna be?

I'll give you a good example. My buddy Ray was in here. Ray needed to talk. We needed to talk. The five grand I gave him and then the six grand I gave him the following week was not enough and now he has a real estate proposal and we need to talk now that's going bad well I'm happy rather I can ask Ray about the last building I bought for him and just how much money I lost in his little house in the valley the peak of the market but now he has another idea so So what happens? Well, I said, Ray, I can't talk to you. I need five minutes of your time. I said, first off, five minutes of my time with Ray or Ozzy or my mom or whoever is never going to

turn out good for me. So I don't need any of your time because it's never going to be, here's what I owe you, here's the thanks for this, that there's, they on the sad side of the ledger. I said Ray you can't just show up I got to do this go to meeting thing I got to do an online thing I got to do it. And he goes well I called you and you don't pick up the phone. Right the reason I don't pick up the phone is because let me tell you what's on the other side of the phone. I need I just need the down payment. I can handle the payment. So everybody has a ledger. It's a social ledger. For me, it's a financial ledger. Oftentimes, it's a ledger. And when Dr. Drew calls, I happily pick up the phone. When Ray or Ozzie calls, there's

going to be a request that goes, somebody's gonna need money, someone's gonna need a place to stay, someone's gonna need to borrow something just for a little bit. Whatever it is, I look at it and I go, uh-oh. And thus, I tend not to want to pick that phone up. My mom doesn't understand that every time you talk to her and she says, how you doing, ma?

That's so good. That's an emotional thing. It's not, I need to borrow money. It's just, all right, now I feel bad. What's wrong? Well, I do, you know, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Here's a laundry list of what's not working out. And then you say, well well I'm thinking of going camping

and then she says a lot of people are crushed by boulders every year. Well eventually you think she slides over to that side of the ledger of what's in it for me. That's how we all kind of think and we all have our charitable endeavors and we all have our organizations and people, but that's our choosing. I choose to work with the Catholic Big Brother organization. It makes me feel good and I think they're worthy organization. But I don't, I didn't choose the Ozzie and Ray hitting me up for shit all the time. And so you have a ledger. And my mom and some of the family unfortunately slid over to that what do they want ledger. Because I know there's never going to be a hey throw in a barbecue, made some salsa,

want you to taste it. What was in the goddamn letter? We all want to know. The letter started with Gary listen carefully I know you have I know I have been I a neglectful mother who I know I know I never made that before yeah my mom my mom my mom not defensive she copped to it oh no yeah my mom oh yeah there you go to her stuff right I know I neglected you and I know how that must make you feel and now basically I know you're neglecting me.

And yeah. I'm just missing a step. What's the? Mom, you neglected me and now you, mom, have created a neglectful person who, by the way, is neglecting you. Yeah. Well, maybe. She's taking it like, oh, no, no, so you're singling her out.

You see? Yeah. I'm not sure you're singling her out except that she falls on the bad side of the ledger. If she didn't fall on the bad side of the ledger, you wouldn't single her out. Yeah. If she didn't fall on the bad side of the ledger, you wouldn't single her out? Yeah, it's a good point. But if she wouldn't be who she was if she didn't fall on the bummer side of the ledger, she wouldn't have been neglectful.

It's kind of hard to take the fiber apart on that cloth. So I know it's a neglectful mom. And I'm sorry for that, but nothing we can do to fix that, but now you're neglecting me and I need you to not do that. And she literally said, even if you don't care, I need you to pretend. Wow.

That's how she's wired. She asked for money? No. And then she said, let's move forward from this day on and try to act like, have a relationship. Act as if. As if. And what did you think? I said fine.

Yeah. You're trying? It was funny. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. I so what I did is and But you can tell me maybe I'm being maybe I'm being a douche. I What I did was She's my stepdad John He's the guy who's sort of the poor bastard. It's just

Caught up in the crazy family, you know? And he's having to take care of her, and he needs a break. And she said it, you know? John needs a break. So it's your job? Well, if you could do something nice for him, that would be nice. If you picked her up to go to lunch or something, or what?

What would that look like? Well, you can't take him to lunch. No, it's him. I thought taking care of her was going to help him. or what? What would that look like? Well, you can't take him to lunch. Oh, him? You want the specific... I thought taking care of her was going to help him. No, taking care of him. Oh. And you can't take him to lunch because he doesn't talk. Right. So that'd be a weird thing to do. But he'd like to come... what do you give him that look for?

I don't understand what he wants then. What does he want? He doesn't want anything. She wants something for him. What? I'll give you a... By the if you want you want to know a little little insight to the to the wiring of the Corollas Mother's Day about five years ago showed up

at at my grandma's house mom mom grandma sister at my grandma's house, mom, grandma, sister, stepdad, me, my wife, those were the only people in the house. And I showed up Mother's Day and I had a glass, I brought a bottle of Dom Perignon, I remember this $110 champagne.

And I said, I walked in the front door and I said, hey, and she saw him with champagne. She said, oh, champagne. Well, that was so thoughtful. Let's have some good champagne, everyone. And I said, oh, no, I brought this as a gift for you. This is your Mother's Day present. She went, oh, oh, and she hit it.

So she went from from let's open this bottle of champagne husband son daughter yeah to I'm gonna put under my sweater put it by the front door that's the wiring it's what does she want for John she wants something she wants anything so I said no just let them come by the shop oh see the cars you know nothing with him. Yeah, nothing big. So I said to her, but this is part of her, part of the problem. I said, well, you know what's coming up?

We taped the show a little earlier, but yesterday was the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach. And I said, huge event, 40, 50,000 people. Hey, a new record drew with the shoulder of the mic. 40,000 people showing up, a new personal best. 40,000 people showing up. I'll be driving in the Celebrity Grand Prix, but I won last year, so I'll be driving as a pro

this year." And she said, okay. And I said, so maybe John would like to go to that. And she said, okay, yeah, John could go there. And I said, all right, well, we'll work that out. She said, all right, and we'll see each other soon. Okay. I hung up the phone, and then I, this is the beauty of my family.

It's never you won last year or what are you driving? Or what do you mean celebrity Grand Prix? Like whose car are you driving? Like there's not an element of is it dangerous or is it fast or who are the other celebrities? Or 50,000 people and you won last year? How did that go? How did I miss that?

Nope. I've done it. This will be my fourth time. Long Beach is 31 miles from where my dad and my mom live and they have no idea what it is and I will tell them. I'll tell them. They'll go, what'd you do last week? I'll go, I won the Toyota celebrity Grand Prix.

They'll go, well, they'll go, what'd you do last week? I'll go, I won the Toyota Celebrity Grand Prix. They'll go, well there you go. I still think you ought to let me interview some of your family members. People want to hear their perspective. I'd like to interview your stepmom, your mom, your dad. Just let me add to that. No, no, you can't, my mom cannot be interviewed.

Why not? Because she's a heap, she's a mess. Maybe she'd surprise you. Or maybe I have a skill that I something out of her You should be interested in me Being frustrated that way or having that experience. All right, give me some insight for you Also what drew yeah in in terms of and look, maybe it's just me. Maybe it's just me but I I Just feel I I'm getting really resentful.

Getting resentful. Getting resentful. That's good, isn't it? No, but tell me where we're heading here as a society. I have Ray coming at me all the time. I have, you know, Ozzy wants to borrow money, wants to live in the warehouse. He wants to, you know, he does this, you know, these people who do these things where it's like Ozzy gets done hitting me up for money. And then when he's leaving, he takes a step for the door and then he stops himself and

then he walks into the fridge and grabs two cokes, like one for the road and one for now, and it's just like everyone's just fucking helping themselves to everything. My other warehouse has a fucking trailer parked in it. It's not mine. When I walked over to the other warehouse the other day, Gary Fultard was just talking to some stranger, and he's like, uh, hey, how you doing?

Good, hey, I'm into cars. Good. First off, I'm glad you're engaging my employee in a conversation so he can't do whatever he's doing. Hey, can I park my trailer in your parking lot? I said, yeah, no. Listen, I was paying Gary and running to another thing. I said, yeah, I do cars.

I have cars. I know Jay Leno, whatever. I said, look, just give me your card, and I'll have my guy call you on Monday. And I took off. Well, the trailer, when it showed up Monday, the trailer was in the parking lot. And then I said, hey, I said to my guy, call him.

Tell him to get the trailer. Hey, he said I could park it here. I said, hey, I said to my guy, call him, tell him to get the trailer out. Hey, he said I could park it here. I said, no. But by the way, the fact that I'm calling you and telling you, let's get it out of there. And then I said, get it out. Well, that was two weeks ago. And the guy says his truck's broken, he can't pick it up. But I thought, wow, it used to just be family members, friends, and acquaintances.

At Chip Butterman, the guy used to work for Howard Lapidus, he just called me one day and he goes, hey man, I'm really strapped for cash, could I have some money? Like he wasn't talking about borrowing money, was he? Had money? I said, what are you talking about here? I'm used to people are in 50 bucks $3,000 just called me just chip just called me this years ago. It's called one of three thousand dollars Maybe it's you never even made me thought of it

Maybe you're participating in this in some way because it doesn't happen everybody. I don't well I'm participating in it by owning a warehouse And and bringing it feels like a pretty open environment here. A lot of people come in and go in and stuff. I could see where people get the wrong idea. It doesn't feel like your own personal property. It feels like a place of work. Somebody don't know what's to do.

No, I'm not saying it's right. It's crazy. No, no. I'm saying it is going insane now. People have lost their fucking dignity. The real question is how does that equate to service dogs? Somehow those two things go together. Oh, of course.

No, listen, you have something that I don't have. Our fucking government is, we never, how many times do we have to beat the drum of it's time that the well-connected and the lucky and the well-to-do start paying their fair share. Well, basically, that's you. That's my parking lot. I got lucky. So it's time you shared it.

I'm well-connected. That's how come I was able to purchase a warehouse because I'm well-to-do and I'm well-connected. You see, the wealthy. Oh, I see. It's who you know. We've learned that throughout the years. Well, nobody ever, you never hear Obama say the people that work their ass off. It's always wealthy, well connected.

So everyone knows that my dad owned a string of warehouses in the Burbank, Glendale area for many years. And then after the tragic equestrian accident, that that fleet of warehouses were left to me Yeah, it's funny and thus that parking lot is no more really mine than yours because hell I'm connected everyone knows I'm connected. All right, let's do a little live reading help me get a little better connected All right. Well speaking of connecting. Mmm, you can connect to go to meeting Adam I use them all the time.

I've had that discussion as well. But you know, it was funny. You know, I haven't shared

this with you. I think I tweeted it at the time, but I was driving my daughter to get some froyo in La Cajada on New Year's or like a couple days before New Year's and I started thinking about my New Year's resolution Okay, I was like Let's see. What do I want to work on? What do I want to do? and I was sort of driving and thinking and thinking and driving and then I Stumbled upon my New Year's resolution, which is everyone else get your shit together And I know it sounds a little self-serving

But I realized yeah, I could lose a few pounds. I could drink a little less, but really big picture Everybody else needs to get everyone get your fucking shit together Because I'm not even real It's not even fucking close. You know, I mean, yeah, like I said, I could drop five pounds or everyone could get their shit together. It'd just be a better world. You know what I mean? Fair enough.

So that's my New Year's resolution. You all get your shit together. All right, should we jump to the top? Let's do it. Let's talk to Peter, 39. Peter? How you guys doing? Peter?

Good. What's going on? Let's talk to Peter, 39. Peter? How you guys doing? Peter? Good. What's going on? Well, like I said, I'm 39 and I'm dating a 25 year old. I kinda wanna hear your thoughts on whether or not you think that that is a fatal flaw in the relationship. Well, funny, we were talking about this with Doug Benson just a while ago.

Thursday. Yeah, on Thursday. And, you know, 14 year difference is not really what I was talking about so much. I was really talking about like a 30 year difference and what I was saying was it's not fair to the girl, it's not fair to any kids you might have. Oh, but listen, this is all case by case shit.

True. You know, I'm sure, like if you ever interviewed Lisa Loeb, if you got hold of a 25-year-old Lisa Loeb, she'd be ahead of you emotionally when you were 39. Educated, accomplished, hardworking, motivated. It's kind of. No, but the point is, this doesn't really, it's not a big problem.

14 years, not 30 years. No, but it's also, there's plenty of 25 year olds that are more mature and smarter than 39 year old guys I know. But if he were in late 40s, I'd have a problem with it. Okay. Because then it'd be like, okay, when your kids graduate high school, you're going to be 70. All right.

And that's not fair to the kids, not fair to the girl. It's going to end up with her doing nursing care when she's in her 30s. Have fun banging that young meat there, Peter. All right. Hey, I have another question for you. Actually, more important. Being a guy, if we do have children together, I'm going to be in my early 40s. Is there any kind of an accelerated risk for me having children in my early 40s as opposed

to my early 30s? No, men, you mean in terms of birth defects and things? Yeah. No, it's mainly it's all the chicks' fault. It's fertility, but not so much. In terms of birth defects and things? Yeah. No, it's mainly it's all the chicks' fault is what I've learned. Fertility, but not so much. It's mainly the age part is more with the woman than with the guy. Although there has been some recent suggestion that autism may be up with the older dads.

Oh, really? So maybe, maybe something there. All right, let's see, a woman for three years for marriage. Let's do it. All right, let's talk to KC. In KC. Mm-hmm. All right. See a woman for three years for marriage do it All right, let's talk to KC and KC strangely. I love that KC and KC what's going on 42? Yeah. Hey, actually I called into dr. Cruz podcast the other day and talking about my wife PTSD my ex-wife and she we've been married a year and she, we started getting into a lot of arguments, I lost my temper and she had a picture and I didn't know she had PTSD.

So we were separated for six months or eight months I guess. And so finally she ended the marriage a month ago, been five weeks I guess. And you guys had kids too right? Yeah, she had three kids that she took. And the reason I'm calling it today is... Wait, wait, and then you had one kid or something too, right? I have one child who doesn't live with me, lives with his mom.

So there's a lot of... There's a second marriage for both of us, yeah. I'm just saying, there was a lot of chaos in this whole scene, so okay. Correct. So, it's been made clear to me, I've been in therapy and I had hope of I'm... it's been made clear to me. I've been in therapy and I had hope of reconciliation and it's been made clear to me that there is no hope of reconciliation. So, I'm trying

to come to terms with moving on because I moved to her city to be with her. I don't know anyone. I don't have any family here. I've been rejected by her friends and family and they're in this they're in this Separation she would come over sleep with me and then she would pull away and then she'd come over sleep with me And then she'd feel vulnerable and pull away Really mess with my head of course Listen Don't sleep with her. Hey, it's she's done. That's done, but I'm messed up now.

Okay, you're allowed to be messed up for a while. You know what I mean? The finite period of time. The good news is he's taking care of business, he's getting therapy, he stopped sleeping with her. You're moving in the right direction. Yeah. She has frozen me out.

She has completely frozen me out because emotionally. She still loves me. Oh All these fucking all this fucking double talk all the time of She she loves me not in love with me, but physically she needs some space now But I'll always be a place in her heart It's I didn't even know why people talk about this right you either with them or you're not bottom line And what are we all in high school? Right? I mean, that's right. It's it's fucking nuts You're with someone and then you're not with them. And if you're not with them 42, by the way, I Know You really fucking sound like you're

He Sounded like like your your Ricky Nelson song from night and you're 21 years old like knock it off your Ricky Nelson song from and you're 21 years old like knock it off get your shit together good don't sleep with her. New Year's resolution. Fulfill Adam's New Year's resolution. Help fulfill my New Year's resolution of you getting your shit together and also I think what we're doing is we're allowing people to not get their shit together well into their 40s which is something that I feel was unacceptable years ago in this society.

There's a lot of dudes who are not acting like adults in well into their 40s. Well, I remember 15 years ago, there was a lot of talk about, oh, it's a Peter Pan syndrome. Rise can't grow. Now it's just, oh no, it's just a 42 year old. It's just a guy.

Yeah. It's just everybody 40. There's a lot of that now. Yeah, we're all part of the Lost Boys. No, believe me, I'm trying to borrow money from me all the time. All right, let's see, you got someone up there? But just to finish with Casey from Casey, which is, I know, say it all the time,

walks, classical music, exercise. They just came out with this study that said physical exercise helps your brain. Oh, yeah And worse so physically get moving break a sweat, you know You know focus on your career focus on moving up Whatever that education you need to get to that next level in your career focus on your physicality Just focus on your health. Focus on your shit. And don't sit there and moan and lament

and be the best dad you can be. And then you'll find a new sane person. All right, what do we got there, Drew? Alex. Alex. Line three. Let's see. Yeah, let's see.

Advice. There's a bunch of medicine things. Nah, I want to talk the line fine. All right. Hey, Ashley? Hi. Hey, Ashley, before I get into the suspense with Alex right now, Alex, Adderall is generally prescribed every day.

After the age of 18, though, the benefits are controversial. It's for ADD. If you have ADD, make sure it's formally prescribed with neuropsych testing. I'm done. All right. I'm not. Hey, Alex? Yeah, Minnesota? That's right. You know where we sell, you know the state we sell the most mangrove in? Oh, God, that's weird. God

D. Minnesota. Oh my God. My father actually bought me a couple bottles a few weeks ago. I love that man. What a solid man. By the way, speaking of him at 22 drinking two bottles of mangrove, all of my addict patients have ADD. All of them. They should not be on Adderall. If you have alcoholism, I don't think Adderall is a good idea. Your dad's a saint.

I didn't cash those two bottles immediately. Don't worry. Just saying. Enjoy. All right. Okay, five. Back to Ashley. You think my dad knows what Mangria is?

No. Of course not. He's tasted it. Your mom maybe. I'll put it to you this way. Is there a Corolla family member that you could go to their home and find a bottle of mangrove? I think you and John and Chris ought to sit down and have a bottle.

Oh, that, no. See what happens. And that's it. No, there was... Gary's shaking his head no. I thought he'd be sitting there with a video camera now. There's a great John Hyatt line and it's a song called Icy Blue Heart and it's a song about a woman at a bar and does he go over there and have a beer with her?

Does he sit down and he says, he said, does he have what it takes to melt her icy blue heart? And he says, should he start to take what's been frozen for years and turn it into a river of tears. Meaning, do we get into this? Because I like to leave the glacier alone. I like to keep walking. There's arguments on both sides. This is the genius of Gary here.

Is this it? Yes. Let's listen a second to the wisdom of the great John Hine. We'll just hear the verse and then we'll let you go she said give me a love that don't freeze up inside Some hearts in my time dear About to sit next to you Well I shiver and shake If I knew love Well I don't think I'd be here My beer was warmer than the look in her eye.

That's why. Asking myself if I've got what it takes. This man's a genius. All right. All right. Here it is. To melt in your icy blue hole Should I stop

to turn what's been frozen for years into a river of tears We had him a love line once, didn't we? Fucking guy's a genius. Alright. I remember you gushing at us. That's why all you fucking assholes sitting around listening to John Cougar Melancham. Alright, Gary, you can pot it down.

Uh, yeah. Fucking love that guy. Bob Forrest. That's the song you play when you want the party to clear out. Bob Forrest was shocked that you liked Don Hyatt. Impressed. Everyone thinks I'm an asshole. No, no, no, no, but Bob is like a sophisticated musician.

Here's the whole thing. While all you ass wipes were listening to Kaja Gugu and Flocka Bullshit and Duran Duran and all those fucking shit bands that we now become a punchline essentially to the 80s I was sitting around listening to John Hyatt and Graham Parker that's why fucking listen I listen this guy when I was 17 and I went this guy's got fucking brains he writes lyrics he's not fucking sitting there singing about the the Rio River and on the front of a Schooner trying to get laid with a fucking pirate shirt on fucking

Crafting something with his fucking brain and everyone else like and listen to fucking Prince and all these other assholes And I'm just like what if fuck you guys are such idiot. Oh, this is men without hats man Get your pirate shirt on and I'm like this stuff sucks The fucking lyrics are horrible. I don't even know what it means without hats man get your pirate shirt on and I'm like this stuff sucks the fucking lyrics are horrible I don't even know what it means you want to listen to some fucking decent listen to fucking John Hyatt you retards and you want to get smarter listen to people that are smarter than you idiots ah everyone fucking sickens me can we finish Alex Alex? Get your shit together everyone. Yeah, I've got to get the screen back on.

No, no, line five is Alex. I'll tell you. All right, sorry. Alex? Who was it, Alex? It was Ashley. Oh, Ashley. Ashley?

Ashley, there you go. You were close. Same letter. Take your part. Good enough. You have a question? My question is about hypochondria, and I know it's linked with anxiety because it's a big trigger for my anxiety.

And in the past, I've been on several antidepressants, including Valium, Xanax, Woloff, I've been to therapy. But I was wondering if there are any other kind of tactics I could use to deal with the hypochondria. There's a whole sort of field evolving in the treatment of this. Join the Marines. You don't have time for this bullshit. You get up at fucking 5 in the morning.

When you're trying to climb a cargo net, a guy in early armies yelling at you, you don't have time. But hang on. Except when you're done with it, the anxiety is often worse. No. That's the problem. Yeah, yeah. And so let me just say, there's a whole field of approaching now what's called somatiform dissociation,

that they're learning more and more about how the body and the brain connect in the interpersonal sphere. In other words, when you're growing up, your connection with your parents, with adults, or whatever trauma you encounter, may affect the trajectory of how your conscious mind and your body hook up. And the body can be a source of distress and mystery and confusion if you're not getting enough connectedness with another human.

And there are people coming out with therapies, again I've talked about Alan Schor earlier, S-C-H-O-R-E. Check out Alan Schor's material. He's got a lot of stuff there that is sort of designed to help with that. So talk to people about some out of form dissociation and trauma. Here's the fine line that I worry about, Drew. The fine line that I worry about with people and their disorders, and I'm not talking about a bad hip, I'm talking about emotional disorders, is we built a cottage industry around surrounding them and going,

read this book and do this, and I really feel like at least half these people could be cured with a kick in the pants. And hold on. I wish you were that easy. No, no. I think what happens in often cases, and the unfortunate part is we don't know which cases. That's true. That's the problem.

Now, what I'm saying is somebody says, I have this disorder. I can't travel without my dog. And then society goes, oh, you can't? I can't travel without my dog. Yeah, and then society goes oh you can't know I can't travel without my dog. No, we need a special. No, you're right No, what's on she goes cunt put the dog fucking in the house and get on the fucking airplane, right? She can travel without a dog. What do you mean? You can't fucking travel that a dog Of course, you can travel that a fucking dog you retard now get on the fucking plane

So some extent person would be cured the first the first system we put in place that harms people for their dysfunctional behavior is really the legal system. Yes. Where we reinforce. We're going to sue somebody. Reinforce psychological pathology. We do know that person who can't travel without their dog can travel without their dog and gets more attached and deeper. I believe they get deeper into the neurosis by us giving them a wider birth. You may be right. There at least may be better ways to approach it than gratifying it. I'll tell you the better way to do it. On it, onnit.com. These guys make super high grade supplements for professional athletes. Basically, I talked to these guys and I spoke to Joe Rogan about this too
