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.
Yeah, get it on. Got to get it on. No choice but to get it on. Mandate, get it on. We got
some breaking news. No, not for you people because we're recording the show a little
bit earlier in the week. But Drew's on Jodi Arias patrol. Watch. Watch. There's first
off, can we hang that cunt already she's ruining
my life yours oh well you get paid but your wife is so you mean cuz your wife
so into it yeah oh dude yes she text me no whatever I'm in the air no listen
yeah it's the timing is bad but I've had this discussion of chive. It's an ongoing discussion. I'm having with
Almost everyone on the planet which is please act like you're interested in things
that are gonna make us money and I get the I am interested except for I
Will look at your actions. We've talked about this every show which is
I I will look at your actions. We've talked about this every show which is I
Have a problem, which is I'm trying to sell something called mangria
I go around the country killing myself doing these signings and these bottled things and there's tastings and stuff them. They're fun and
That part's fun
The part where I'm talking to the confused DJ in Napa
who has no idea what I'm talking about
and then I'm saying check my website
and there's nothing on the website
that says I'm doing a signing is the part that's not fun.
And I say-
Is it still happening?
Oh, it's still happening.
Everything still happens.
Yes, I say to everyone around me
If I'm going to be somewhere if I'm going check my schedule if I'm calling in to a show
And going to be somewhere such as Napa the Uptown Theatre
coming up on the 18th, then
There's a very very good chance that I will be doing some sort of signing, tasting,
something with Mangria.
Thus, you must check the website and make sure it's represented on the website.
Now, the good news is that's going to take a grand total.
I'm going to round up to five minutes.
Me, I'm going to take a Southwest flight and then I'm gonna drive here and
I'm gonna drive there and I'm gonna stand around for three hours signing
bottles and taking pictures and then I'll do a show and that'll get on
another southwest flight. That part takes a lot of time and it's fairly
tiring. This part, very easy and but essential and needs to be done,
but I don't want to do both parts.
I will do the super difficult part.
You will do the easy part.
I've had that conversation with everyone who's around me.
It must be something about, I'm just thinking about this.
Because I have the same thing on my website
where something extraordinary will happen
and I'll look on the website and it'll be materials
from a year ago that aren't relevant and why is that up?
And I go, I just want a bunch of Prisma words.
You think maybe somebody wants to kind of put that up there
and just make a little note of it somewhere?
Well, they're not gonna do it,
but if you tell them and they don't do it.
Well, so I call and go, why isn't this happening?
Why should I have to call every time?
Isn't that the purpose of a website,
to be able to keep on track?
Anyway, so here's, and then I think,
right here as I'm sitting here, I'm thinking,
oh no, wait, it's us, it's you and I.
Because websites, think about people that have websites,
are up to date and talking about all their glorious
activities, that's done by the person themselves, always.
We got none of that in us.
No, I don't, but it started with me saying back in the day it'd be live dates but the dates
would be two weeks old.
Or they'd be wrong dates.
No they'd be the right date just in the past. You need a time machine to see me because
I'm already back from Minnesota.
All right.
So Drew's got to do a little Jodi Arias talk because a verdict has come down.
Now it started off with dates that were two weeks old.
And then I would say to those around me, you must go on the website.
You must check the dates.
You must be the keeper of this. But those kind
of talks can only go so far because people have a limited interest. It's by the way,
it's why it's how the government works. It's how it you're getting paranoid, dude. No,
no. What I'm saying is everything goes back to the government these days with you. No,
what I'm saying is, is if you knew it doesn't matter to them the waste and the fraud
It was your business. You'd take care of it
Yeah
if you knew what I'm saying is this if
You handed somebody if every day you got paid in cash at the end of the day. You just got paid in $20 bills
Yeah, here's your thousand dollars drew for your day's work
And there's someone handed you a neat stack of a thousand dollars and you went okay You just got paid in $20 bills. Here's your $1,000 Drew for your day's work.
And someone handed you a neat stack of $1,000.
And you went, okay, now what I owe you, Guy in the Undertaker's outfit.
And he'd say, I want $400 of that.
And you peeled off $400 and watch that pile go from $ thousand dollars to six hundred dollars, right? And then you saw him take that $400 and you went,
well, I'm going to flush 70 down the toilet. You'd be like, what? What? No, what are you doing? And then you'd want, well, here, there's 20.
That's going toward mothballing some battleships we're never going to use. And then here's some defense contractor that's going to work on something that
we're never going to do. And this one's going to a guy who claims he has a bad
back. He's on disability, but it's been four years and we actually saw him doing
a rodeo last week. But anyway,
first you'd be a little pissed that your $400 was missing.
But then when you saw how it was being handed out. Yeah you'd fucking freak.
But what happens it just kind of gets deducted from your paycheck and it's going off in a
million direction and somebody talks about schools and teachers and potholes and roads
and you just go oh fine and it just out of sight out of mind you're just you're just
moving forward.
Yeah.
But if you were there.
Yeah.
If you cared.
Oh if you could see. That's the principle principle the prior with the invisible hand, right?
That's the private sector thing the public sector doesn't have those sorts of forces at play
So what?
Continuously happens with me is I plug dates
But the dates aren't on the website and I never stopped screaming to everybody
You must be in charge of this or those two up get them to own it Those are on the website the two is about to announce. You must be in charge of this. Are those two up?
I can't get them to own it.
Those are on the website. The two he's about to announce.
Yes, that is right. Napa, that's the one we're talking about at the California Shiner's
and that is May 18th, 6pm. That, of course, so then it leads into deeper confusion because
the DJs have no idea what I'm talking about. I thus am confused because they don't know
what I'm talking about because why else would I call in?
Because the show that we're doing is about sold out.
So if you go to the Uptown Theatre website,
you'll see there's a couple of seats,
literally nine seats left. There's nothing left.
But I figured out StubHub or somebody buys some of these seats
and may have a cache of 30 or 40 seats
So if you're desperate you can you can go but the the venue is about sold out
So in my mind, I'm just plugging this mangria tasting except for they've never heard of it and it's not on our website
I guess I am more pissed than you. Here's why I'm more pissed. Who are you pissed about?
I you saw that thing flashed Gary flashed Gary have to our flashed up on the board there
Who has to be at a 1040.
He must be at the studio at 11 o'clock.
They're saying, I've got to be there.
Fucking world's coming to an end.
I'm going to sit there at 11 o'clock.
Of course you are.
For 45 fucking minutes.
Don't get there at 11.
I'm not going to get there at 11.
Don't worry.
But as it is, and if I'm not there at 11, they're going to be fucking spinning like
tops all the way to Atlanta.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
The phone will keep ringing.
Where are you?
Where are you?
Where are you?
That's more of that no concern for our time part 2.
Well.
We just need you there.
Listen, as we've discussed, people
care about what they care about.
I've said this a million times.
Most people would rather have you wait an hour over have them wait a minute or
have you pay ten dollars over them pay ten cents if it comes down to that.
So there's an element of who cares? I'm not interested in this. And what I
try to explain to people is maturity is you being interested
in things you're not interested in because it's the right thing to be interested in.
But funny you would say it like that because I would say because you could take another
person's perspective. You have that crazy compass going where you this is right this
is wrong that those scales are always I have the crazy codependency. So I see other people's
point of view before I see my own. Yeah. but anyway, so I had a lovely morning where I woke up very early and then I made
a bunch of phone calls and then had the same conversation I've had with almost everyone
on my staff about getting those dates up on the website.
It's a weird thing, but I said to Lynette, look, you have to check the website and you
have to check my schedule and you have to do it every day and that will be that'll be
that we got a car oh she's she's sorry there she told me she's texting you
about the Jodi Arias trial yeah that's what I'm saying we got a call the verdict's
coming in we got to get her in front of a TV I Gary come on now give her a text. Here's what I'm saying. Jodi Arias
doesn't make us money. It makes you money. It makes her attorney's money. Mangria makes
money. Mangria puts food in the refrigerator and potentially puts kids through college. That's where I want the focus.
The reason I have no interest in Jodi Arias is because she has no direct effect on me,
my kids, my life, or my bank account.
But she's a bitch.
She killed somebody.
She's a horrible person.
You should hate her.
Right.
Well, first off, can I say this?
Yeah.
There are people who kill people.
It's not that big a novelty.
It takes place, sadly, every day.
And if you want to go around the world,
multiply it by maybe 10, maybe 10 million.
People are dying all the time, number one.
Number two, she, and I know this to be true, she's thin and she's white and she's young
and thus it's a big deal.
If she was a big fat welfare mama.
And she has fake breasts.
There you go.
If she went, we're talking about big fat black welfare mama who stabbed pimp, we have zero
story.
So it's sort of weird to pick your stories based on what people look like and how much you want to be drawn into it.
It's a kind of an elitism, which is, oh, there's a novelty.
I mean, there's just brown and black people are getting shot in Chicago every day.
Big whoop. But skinny white bitch does something. And now we got an issue and But but bigger and more important just
Not directly I'm not directly involved with it. Well, there's room by the way for Game of Thrones
Madmen and Madmen and dragons and things like that. I get it. I get it
I like to watch the Fast and the Furious. I get it. Something to do with cars.
I like cars. The point is there's plenty of room to be swept away. This is almost leading
someone else's life for a short period of time, which I don't condone because there's
so much to do in our own lives.
It's a weird mob mentality people get into. There's a lot of mob stuff going on these
days with social media and the way, you know. Yes. I can't wait for this fucking trial to be over
because I'm tired of fucking hearing about it. How about the guy that kidnapped those three girls?
That's, uh, that's crazy. But again, I am not, here's the deal. Come tell me when we're done
with crazy. Then that'll be a news story
It's like no more crazy people you mean well what I'm here's what I'm saying if
You have a news outlet and you would like to start
Your nightly broadcast with no more trouble in the Middle East. I'm all ears you want to start it with trouble in the Middle East
Unnecessary that's right up there with slow and go on
the 405 at 815 in the morning on a Tuesday. I expect if there's not if you
tell me traffic report 405 freeway southbound smooth sailing as far as the
eye can see and it's 815 on a Tuesday morning there's a newsflash. Slow and go
look out for brake lights, bumper
to bumper on the 405 and look out on the 101, 405 exchange. There's traffic. Not news, trouble
in the Middle East, not news. Somebody nutty did something horrible to somebody else, not
news to me. I know we're consumed with it but it seems redundant repetitive
well it has nothing to do with me well hold on now all drama whether it's Greek
tragedy or musical comedy on Broadway whatever whatever you're looking at
whatever people sit and watch fundamentally it's sick people doing
sick things so I know that's what attracts our eyes. So news and reality shows, all that, no different.
I agree, and there's enough...
I don't know why we're that way, but we're that way.
First off, what goes on with these trials that they go on for a year and...
Well, we're so flush with resources in the state capitals that we just have to you know Make sure justice is metered out carefully because we have nothing but dough in Arizona, California
That's what I that's this is where drew how far away are we from my functional MRI lie detector thing?
Oh people are talking about it people talk about well as we know
Everything I talk about comes for wishing, so this will be done at
some point.
There will be some, there are brains that you can see lying now in a functional MRI.
Whether you can standardize it, that's going to happen.
What if the world, and when I say the world, I'm talking about the smart countries, got
together and said, we're going to work on this.
We're going to take our greatest scientists.
How long would it take? Yeah to create two weeks
They really focused on it. I mean world two weeks to create what we would call a standard
It would not take that long to and then a protocol
Protocol is administered. Yeah, but by a nonpartisan whoever we have lie detector tests
And you see how those are admitted in court every day.
No, cannot have.
What I'm saying is the lie detector people say, oh, he beat it or he didn't beat it or
whatever.
But I am talking about Star Wars, sort of a standard that is ministered.
Like first off, this notion that this thing could be corrupted, you know,, fine it's administered by look, we have people flying airplanes, right? There's 300 people
in the airplane. They can fly into a mountain if they so choose. But we have testing and
certification and standards and training and flying that science isn't something other
than just another point of view. I'm saying that they have this notion that oh yeah but what if the guy's running the
machine is in the back pocket of the defense.
It's like that guy doesn't get to run the machine.
He's certified.
You see what I'm saying.
Yes I know it works.
We do it like we do everything else.
People are so paranoid and so dumb. It's superstitious. We have people that are certified technicians in many, many important realms that we rely
on.
License and certified.
That's why we have licenses and board certification, things like that.
There's guys who work for the FBI.
They go through background checks.
It turns out they were either in the Crips or the Bloods for a number of years.
Then they don't get into the FBI.
Probably not.
So they have background checks, then they get certified, then they get monitored, and
that's how we have our system.
So we would get those guys, we would certify them, we would monitor them, and then we would
have these devices that were on a world standard.
Yeah.
No, it's going to happen.
I agree with you. I think it's gonna happen.
I think it's gonna be much longer than you would prefer.
Of course, and everyone goes,
well, how are you gonna beat our system?
Our system, this dog and pony show
that never leaves my television set
that's been going on for eight months
and it costs millions of dollars.
And why is Lynette into this?
What tracks her to this stuff? Did she want to be a lawyer at one time?
That's what I understand.
Why do people watch these court cases?
What?
What, Kerry?
You're pointing at me.
I think she watches it because she likes watching you.
Nah.
She does like you.
She likes you on the show a lot.
She probably likes all the guests and stuff I have.
No, no, no.
She thinks you're great on it, which is awesome.
Well, I need to come on her podcast.
Yeah, yeah.
She's...
That'll make you money.
We would love to have you on.
I can barely schedule you for your own podcast.
I'm going to be here all week doing stuff.
Let's get it.
Let's bring her in.
We'll get you on.
Yeah.
All right.
Bring her into... Oh, I'm just going to do that.
Where... Huh.
I'm not supposed to talk to her, you told me.
Who?
I was thinking, Lin-Hat, you told me a long time. We first started podcast. He said stop talking to her
So I did not talk there as much as you want. Just stop agreeing with her. Okay, agree with me
Or if I'm talking to make sure you're making money she watches the trial because of the schadenfreude part of it
I think she doesn't seem like that kind of person. That's why I know all women hate all other women and then there's you
She loves you on the show and all I'm saying it can our long national nightmare end with this fucking trial
So we can get back to work. That's uh, that's what I'm saying
Yeah, and I again I don't the interest in things
And again, the interest in things, that's fine.
But to me, and I feel the same way with teams, you know, people call me all the time,
what do you think the Rams chances of coming back to LA?
It's like, I'm fucking old, I have kids, I have a business,
I don't give a fuck about people that are half my age
making $9 million for signing bonuses.
At a certain point, you have to stop giving a shit about people that aren't you and that
aren't in your immediate circle.
You're just waiting to die.
Be fair.
It'd be nice.
I'm just saying, after this morning, I was like, God fucking damn it.
Really?
So, no, what I'm saying is, look, I think we can all agree.
Let's just agree about this.
About what?
The guy who has been to Disneyland 2,600 times
and has a tattoo of every Disney character on him
is a sad sack of shit.
OK.
Right?
Given. You look at him and you go, this guy's entire identity Disney character on him is a sad sack of shit. Okay. Right?
Given.
You look at him and you go, this guy's entire identity is wrapped up around-
Fantasy.
Yeah.
Walt Disney had an idea.
This is his idea.
This is not your idea.
And by the way, all he's doing is taking your money.
Right.
The tattoo parlors taking the money for the, you know, seven dwarves you drew on on your kankal and the gift shop takes more of your money and then every time you show
up yeah they take your money they're happy to feed your obsession and this
guy's friend or advocate might say yeah but he enjoys it you know okay but his
whole life it sees's his pleasure. Bring some pleasure. What were you going to say?
But you're now living your life through the life
of Goofy and Dumbo and the Pirates of the Caribbean.
And to us, that feels empty.
Yeah.
Because to us, you feel like, oh, no, you
should be writing a book.
You should be doing something.
Having a raising family or something, at least.
Whatever.
Let the kids enjoy that. You can enjoy it. Yeah, something family or something. Whatever But the kids enjoy that you can enjoy it through them
Maybe you want your legacy to be I was a guy went to Disneyland a bunch of times
See what I'm saying? That's when you say it that way. I actually get sad thinking about it. That's what I do
So then I then look at variations of that
They're the guys who are really into the Steelers.
And it's like, all right, that's his team.
But at a certain point, he's missing his daughter's
rehearsal dinner because the Steelers are playing
in the playoffs, and they're playing the Patriots,
and he's got tickets.
You know what I'm saying?
And so at a certain point, you're kind of leaving
money on the table, either emotionally or physically.
Spiritually.
Spiritually, because you've decided to follow some team, some organization, some band, some
group, some Jodi Arias, something. You're following something. And again, distractions fine, relaxations fine.
Hey, that's what I do.
I play dominoes.
You know what I mean?
Or I like listening to his music.
But you could argue that you-
I like to play a little banjo.
You could argue you and the cars
are similarly distracting.
How dare you?
Yeah, yeah.
No, it is.
It is, but I would at least argue this way
over me and Disneyland guy or me and
Me and Pittsburgh Steelers guy. Yeah
First off physically I have something at the end of the day. I have a bunch of created something
Yeah, of cars that are worse something. Yeah, when I die, you're not gonna be able to sell the skin with your Disneyland tattoos on it
Yeah, but you will be able to sell Paul Newman's race car for five times what I paid for it
But people are gonna be critical of you focusing it all around dollars. No, no, I
Get it. I I get a charge out of you get something but it's not happiness
It's satisfaction. Yeah, which then bleeds into other facets of life.
Well, that's a whole other topic, by the way.
People don't understand what happiness is.
And I would argue that satisfaction is a very important, gratification is an important part
of satisfaction.
Way more important than happy.
Happy like euphoria riding on the Pirates of the Caribbean getting your tattoo.
Not substance.
No nothing contributed.
I think contributing is, and that's what's missing
in the parts of the Caribbean.
But not only, not to get overly defensive, but here it goes.
I feel like A, there's something tangible
about what I do and what I collect.
Well you could argue that you're contributing something
by recreating, bringing back to life some of these cars.
And number two, I have to turn my brain on yeah
I have to work on these creating so I figure this stuff out
We have to show up there with spares spare this and spare that yeah, everything needs to be dialed in
Beforehand we're working on fabricating brackets to mount the seats and stuff like that. I'm making drawings and you know, yeah
Yeah, so it costs something that I'm making drawings and you know fabricating things. You're creating something. So you
could argue that creativity is an important missing piece in Disneyland. Yeah it's like
somebody says you know what's your sport and you go free climbing and it's like alright
that involves your muscles and your brain and your wits that's not riding a Disneyland
thing and that's what I'm saying to people
Have your hobbies but have your hobbies involve you
Your hobby is your team. That's not really you It's not there's no point when Big Ben Rothenberger would look up into the stands. It goes. Where's Jerry?
And if it does come to that point then by all means they need you. Yeah, then that's fine, right? Something different then I'll tell you what you need pro flowers. I do I do it's Mother's Day coming up
Oh my god coming up. It's tomorrow. Oh god. Oh, no, wait a minute. No, you still have like three days. That's right
That's right, but let's get moving people. Oh, I scared myself for a second. Yeah dozen rainbow roses just
1999 or double the roses and you get the chocolates and the
premium pink vase or vase.
Ooh.
I'm highfalutin.
$29.98, that's 50% off.
Make mama happy this year.
See, I can't do it for my mama because she knows about pro flowers.
Maybe she doesn't.
I think I could do this.
I think you pull it off.
I can pull this one off. Alright, I can't pull it off with my wife.
I can pull it off with my mom.

Offer expires soon. So let's get cracking. All right, Drew. Yeah you
Now, what are you gonna do? I'm gonna keep working here till quick till I have to till they till Gary drags me out
All right. All right, you wanna take some phone calls?
Sure.
What else you wanna talk about?
I was gonna read one of those things for you, if you like.
Read what?
Stamps.com, I love that thing.
You don't read it, baby, you feel it.
I feel it, all right, I can do without.
It comes from your gut, hold on.
Anything happen, anything going on in your life?
Yeah, tons, tons.
I, you know, the aging brain, not meant to do what I did last weekend. What'd you do? I went to
Was in New York mm-hmm
Had to because it's George areas had to show on Friday
I was supposed to go to New England to watch my son Jordan's rugby game
At Williams they were gonna beat the shit out of Williams.
And no, no, you'll be here till 10 o'clock,
because it's Eastern time, 9 to 10.
And I had to leave the studio and haul ass to New England,
four-hour drive, with other son and wife in tow.
Get up, go watch the rugby game, congratulate my son
on his win, get in the car, come back to New York City four hours,
and time for my daughter's play, which was a big success.
Get up in the morning and get in the plane,
come to Los Angeles.
And by the end of that, I was delirious.
It's something about driving, the time zones,
the altitude in planes, and all I can tell you
is the weirdness of driving through the woods of New England
versus driving through South Central home from the airport
was so stark a contrast that my brain
almost couldn't process it.
Well, I'll tell you that one of the problems
with the driving through the woods
versus driving through South Central on the way home
from the airport at LAX is you cannot play
the super popular game, which I like to play which is
Find Me the Car Under $1000
That is a stretch
That stretch of 110 freeway
from where the 105 hits it
till you get to the
110
or where you get to the 101
The 10 really
I've seen fucking donkeys with
like space saver spares on them
Yeah, and 26 Mexicans piled on top and and a fucking and a lawnmower leaf blower
Like I mean, I've seen some of the I've seen cars that like we have a competition where it's like that car is not worth
$400 by the way, they will then break down in the middle lane and that's where a lot of traffic comes
The other thing that was there to behold when I arrived on said track around the 105 to
the 110, mattresses on the roof of a car.
You don't see that in New England.
Not so much.
I literally had the conversation with my wife, like, why?
What are they doing?
What do they think they're doing?
Why so many mattresses on the roof in Los Angeles?
Why does that only happen in Los Angeles?
And she, her answer was, mattresses are expensive.
That was her note to me.
That'd cost a lot.
No, no.
What?
No.
I know.
Delivery is an extra $33.
That's the problem.
I see.
All right.
It's awesome.
Also, I think they're trying to get pubic lice out
of them. I think a lot of people... No, it's a fact that if you can get over 50 miles an
hour with the thing on the roof of the car, pubic lice are only good... They're good to
like 49 miles an hour. I've done testing in wind tunnels.
That's a tid in my windshield. Yeah. I've brought my pub patch out to Edwards
Air Force Base. We threw it in the tunnel.
And then you threw birds at it.
That's a different testing.
Oh, sorry.
Sorry.
That's a different testing.
Frozen birds, no?
Yeah.
So Jodi Arias hopefully found guilty.
I can't take anymore.
I can't take anymore of her.
Yeah, it's not...
If I weren't covering it, I wouldn't be watching it.
All right.
But Drew, where do you come down? Because Yeah, it's not I if I weren't covering it. I wouldn't be watching it. All right, but Drew, where do you come down because
Look, there's literature you read literature. That's something that someone else created a long time ago
But I do feel like you know when people do it's it's very easy to people to point, you know, and they go
my
Following of this or watching this is no different than you and your
love of whatever classical music and you said but I
Do feel like certain things in life and I've talked to Lynette about it Lynette says she finds it interesting because she finds out
How the trial system works and how people work and all that?
Could read about that in five minutes
There's something to glean from human behavior.
But to me, let's not confuse sitting and watching something
happen with participating in whatever your archery
or whatever your sport is.
But it's funny you would say a skill sport, because I
think that's the part that is missed.
To really appreciate, let's say say classical music or philosophy or something.
You got to do a lot of groundwork first for a long time.
Then that appreciation is like, whoa, that's very arousing and rewarding now.
It's not just, oh, I'm listening to G Minor Symphony.
But what is, what is, can I ask you this?
And maybe it's the way we're wired versus many people on the planet.
When I walk into the den and I see the kids and Lynette all playing Mr. Toad or fucking
Wapo and Gini jumping on a mushroom and then they're screaming at the TV and going to the
next level and going to the next level
and going through the waterfall of fire and stuff like that.
I just go, what are we doing?
And they go, what?
We're having, you know.
It's fun.
Join in.
And I go, I don't know why.
And they go, it's cause it's fun.
And I go, but I don't,
making it atop the magical mushroom
and then getting through the waterfall of fire
and landing on a King Neptune's triad, it doesn't mean anything to me because it's not happening.
If it was happening, it would mean something to me.
And I understand, well then why watch a movie?
And I don't know, you could make that argument.
For some reason, I can go watch a movie.
But I don't want to play video game.
There's no interest in the video game because't I don't want to play video game as no
Interest in the video game because there's no end game to the video game nothing to be learned nothing to be experienced to you Well, I've been just these little
They're having an experience. I'm not having experience. I don't care whether I fall off the mushroom or I get to
Neptune's triad because it's no it's still the same to me. Yes. I'm the same way
Yeah, I don't the video games do I just not people say to me all the time
You got to get into this man. You got to play this you're gonna love this and I go why I have a
Simulator which I've not worked out yet
That has various tracks around the country to go learn the track on the simulator,
which is a form of a video game,
but I feel like I'm learning this track
via this video game.
No, that makes sense.
Right, but just getting on top of Super Mario
and trying to avoid the dragon flames,
it doesn't feel like anything to me.
There was something to be learned
or an exercise to be experienced,
there was something other than learned or an exercise to be experienced or some something other
than just the little tiny gold coins popping up whatever.
Yeah.
Here's the thing.
Then I think my wife would say, well, listen, douchebag, here's what you get to experience.
Time with your family laughing.
Well then I would sit and watch with them.
That's what I would end up doing.
Yeah, I would not play.
I would just sit and watch.
Which I do.
I watch the Call of Duty with my sons all the time.
They'll play for hours.
What, why, okay, so let me ask this.
Why are we in the minority?
Because to me, whether it's Jodi Arias or it's trying to get on top of the magical sack
of coins that the leprechaun is protecting
Who's trying to fight me off with this magic mushroom?
It just feels like one big zero to me whatever it is people will let us know into it that it pisses them off
That we feel this way we somehow feel superior for being this way. No, no, I don't feel so very just mystified
Yeah, I do feel we do but I But no, not superior, just like what's,
I guess the question is what's in it for you.
Yeah.
And then the answer to what's in it for you is,
I'm enjoying myself.
Yeah.
And then the next question is why are you enjoying yourself?
That's what we don't understand, why are you enjoying yourself?
Right.
All right.
Let's take ourselves a call.
You got something you like there? This is to the Marine. All right. Let's take ourselves a call. You got something you like there?
This to the Marine.
Hold on.
Don't read that.
Feel it.
I can do it now?
Yeah.
Stamps.com is something I am actually very excited about.
My wife and I have been using Stamps.com for years.
Feel it.
True.
I start reading his phone.
Well, I was hoping it was telling me I could stay here and not have to come in.
Anyway, let me stay back.
Stamps.com is something I'm very excited about.
It's something my wife and I have been using for literally for years and years.
We were like early adopters.
And when I first saw my daughter's ice skating pictures on a stamp.
Line three.
Hello there.
Collette. Coll there. Collette.
Collette.
Collette.
Yes.
Like collect call, but not really.
Don't call me.
How are you?
Hold on.
Is it collette or collect?
It's collette.
Collette.
Did I say collette?
Yes.
That's what you said.
I said collette.
Hold on a second.
We have a big problem in this society, Drew.
Really?
Just one?
Let me explain.
Pronunciation of names?
No.
Let's get back to Jodi Arias, right?
Is it Jodi Arias?
Yeah.
Can I tell you how many times I say to people where I go, we're having a guest on.
Let's just say she's exonerated and we're having Jodie Aries as a guest. Yeah. And then I'll say, not, Half-Tard Gary won't do this, but I'll say to someone,
is it Aries? And they'll go, it's Aries. And I'll go, is that what I just said? And
now we're confused. Right. See, if I say, is it Aries? They should go, correct. But
instead, they always do that where they go, is it Aries, they should go, correct. But instead, they always do that, where they go, is it arias?
It's arias.
And you go, did I not?
What did I say?
What did I say?
That's what you just did to me.
I was like, what did I say?
You said, Collette.
All right.
And then she said Collette, and then she said it's like Collect.
Okay.
See, my thing is I've got a friend named Colleen.
Right.
Colleen Williams.
Collette sort of went in that same thing.
No.
Collette is of went in that same thing. No.
Collette is an acceptable name.
But if you say it's like Collette, then that sounds like it's different.
All right.
God, it must be tough to be like that.
Collette?
No.
Did I punch her out?
No, you're very right.
All right.
What's going on?
Hi.
I was calling in today to ask a serious question about, I'm going through a divorce with my husband, which
has been to war.
And we have been, I've filed twice now.
And I don't know how to this time really say it nicely
when I feel that he fits the category of a domestic violent
abuser.
Everything.
Has he violently acted out?
Oh, yeah.
OK.
And what would you like to do?
I don't know how to.
He keeps saying, we're not going to get a divorce.
We're not going to lose you.
And he used it on me before.
It's gotten me.
Oh, god. Yeah, alright.
So here's the thing. I just saw a thing on this.
You get the restraining order thing, and then what you should insist on doing is having the marshals or what have you, there's a law in the books which is they need to collect his firearm.
Okay?
That's right.
They don't do it three quarters of the time
just because why would we have the manpower to do anything?
We only pay 50% of taxes.
Is that all states?
She's in Michigan.
I'm assuming California's the worst
when it comes to everything all the time.
Because we pay the least in, oh no, wait a minute.
Anyway, I'll have to do that math one day, so
What you do is you get the restraining order and then you say to them
They're gonna need to take his gun away
And that's a law that's on the books and if they don't take the gun away
You are gonna be on record as saying they should have and then if something happens to you
And he uses that gun against you they're going to
be sued out of business. So have you have you filed a police report? No because he... Forget because.
I've been very afraid to file anything. No call that please for god sakes you you talk to social
services you talk to police. Yes I have I talked to Colvin Luddington here, and also I've also talked with, I spoke with a lot
of people, and I counseled on everything, but I also felt like if he did not have a
career then he'd really have nothing to keep him down.
Collette, you've clearly done nothing that people have told you to do. I guarantee you
they all said, file a police report, get a restraining order. This is why these things
exist.
Yes.
His criminal behavior is not something you can protect.
All right.
He will be OK.
But he's not going to be OK if you continue down this path
and he kills you.
What kind of careers are you going to have then?
Right.
Stop it.
File the report.
She's saying he has no career, so he's got nothing to lose.
No, no, no, no.
I think she said, if I file a report, he'll lose his career.
Then he'll have nothing to lose.
Oh.
Does he have a career? Yes, he works for a prison, a state prison. His family gave him his gun back when I told
them to hide it. No, Colette, I know you've done nothing that people have told you to
do, although you've talked to the right agency. Alright, we've said it again. Do it. Go do
it and get that gun away from him. Rochelle?elle or Brandon sorry Brandon. This is Brandon. What's going on Brandon?
Nothing much. How you guys doing good?
Big fan my my issue is 28 years old and I'm just at a place in my life where
Career wise I really want more and where I'm at now
I'm okay if this is as bad as it gets.
But I want to shoot for more
and there's just a fear of failure there.
Yeah, what do you do?
What do you do for a living?
I work for a milk company.
I just deliver milk.
It's nothing too intricate, but I make a decent amount.
My wife makes the bulk of the money,
but my contribution puts us in a good financial space.
Nice.
All right, all right.
So good.
You're working your way up.
Look.
You want to do better things.
That's good.
The thing about it's like people asking the question.
I'm scared.
I'm not going to be as good a parent as I can be.
I'm always like, you're done.
You're covered.
If you're scared.
I don't think my dad ever asked that question
I'm scared that I'm not the best dad that ever lived, you know
When you're asking the question of how can I do this or I'm gonna do it? You're on the right track. Yeah, right
Yeah, instead of doing the part where you go. Hey man, I'm making 42 five a year
I'm doing pretty darn good for myself. But now that he's saying I have a job. I'm working slowly I've got the wife contributing. We're working our way together. That's how things happen. Yeah slowly
Yeah, but slowly passes quickly. I mean you go for pirate ship didn't be didn't set sail instantly
No, and now we're more than four years in so here's the thing Brandon
Couple things when you're 28 things happen at a snail's pace.
When you're 38, they start to move along.
And when you're 48, you see a coffin at the end of the road
going, feed me.
Feed me.
As you sprint toward it.
Oh, god.
Yeah.
So what you can do is figure out what your company's doing.
Does your company have legs?
You know what I mean?
It's a room for you and this company.
And always realize people are watching.
You know what I mean?
I know my people well.
I know that what's his face and what's his fuck
over there versus what's his nose.
I know all the ins and outs of those guys. names are not coming to me right now but you know
what I'm saying I know the good ones and some of the other of those dudes
possible chicks back there who may be doing a fair to middle-end job so listen
right what is your next move in this company? People need to take a look. Hold on a second.
Now let me say this.
I was having a conversation about this
with my buddy Kevin Hinch, who I'm writing a movie with,
who now runs Tim Allen's sitcom,
who's now making a ton of dough now.
And I said, I had the same,
I had a conversation with myself when I was 22, 23 going, framing
houses is not going to make me rich.
And I'll be driving a pickup truck and then it's going to rain.
The other day where we live, it rained all day.
Guess who wouldn't have worked that day?
Guess who wouldn't have gotten paid that day?
And then I thought, and then there's comedy.
Maybe I can make more money doing that.
My buddy Kevin Hinch is a writer.
He wrote for the beat on the Times-Picayune over there in like Brattleboro, Vermont or
something covering the high school football team and stuff.
But the end all and be all for him was to get to the Boston Globe or get to Sports Illustrated.
But at a certain point, he realized the guys who were riding for the Globe weren't making
that much.
They were riding for the Boston Globe, they were covering the Celtics and not the local
high school team, but they still weren't making that much money and neither were the guys
who were riding for Sports Illustrated.
And then he ran into a guy who wrote for sitcoms and wrote for Hollywood.
And this guy wasn't any good, but made a ton of money.
So he did the Fair to Midland, Fair to middling rider and Hollywood is making a million dollars a year and the
best guy on the Boston Globe is making 150 a year or whatever it is.
So he did that math and went no more sports riding, going to focus on Hollywood riding
and now he's making a bunch of money.
So there's that part where you have to sort of look, you know, my grandmother worked for the VA.
It's a place where people who come in through the front door have no money. My dad worked for a place called Five Acres,
which was basically a foster home for kids that were, you know, pushed out into the wild. Obviously, they're not packing a big fat checkbook so whenever you have a job where the people come in don't pay you
or have money that's a very limiting financially it can be rewarding but
financially if that's what you're after is limiting so first off take a look at
what the business is and let's look at the upside. Is there that upside?
And if there's not, you may have to move.
But know that the upside is going to be competitive.
Otherwise everyone would do it.
Thank you.
All right, last call?
Real quick.
All right.
Then I got to go.
And then by, I got to go.
You're so pussy-whipped.
Listen, I'm pushing it.
Listen, Gary's freaking out.

Yeah, yeah, I got a quick question for for you guys. Mm-hmm
I my wife is about nine years older than me. She's going through menopause
and I guess I, uh, my wife is about nine years older than me. She's going through menopause.
And I guess, uh,
she told me that now that she's going through menopause her, when we have sex,
it kind of hurts her.
Yes, that's very common. There's a book on Dr. Dew.com called Why Sex Hurts.
You should get that for her and it will convince her I believe to get on some
hormone replacement.
It's also a Pat Benatar song.
Why Sex Hurts, yes.
Oh, no, no, no.
It's using sex as a weapon, sorry.
But it's something that really, I think, is underutilized, and a lot of women aren't aware
of how much benefit they can derive, particularly if they have a lot of symptoms, from certain
kinds of hormone replacement, both estrogen, progesterone, and very importantly, testosterone.
So I strongly urge you to get her that book and discuss this with her, because a lot of
women suffer and they really feel like they've regained a part of themselves when they get
on replacement, and they're angry that somebody didn't tell them, like, this has been going
on for a long time and we can make you feel better.
Well, they still use cream.
She doesn't want to go on hormones.
That's her thing.
She's got a fear of going on the hormone.
Just read the book. Get the book.
Listen.
Use estrogen cream always too.
But hold on a second. Everyone with their... She doesn't care. She's scared of dogs.
Knock it off. Try to knock it the fuck off. You know what I mean? There's everyone with their...
They don't. She doesn't want. They don't. You know, I have occasionally, you know my dog Molly, she's one, she wags her tail so
hard she bends in the middle.
Her whole fucking body just bends, she's wagging her tail and flop around.
And I would have a guy, the one guy who worked on my stereo, it was a fucking hack, would
come over all the time.
He'd be like, put the dog away.
You know, and I'd go why and he'd go I was bit by a dog when I was young and
My answer to that is by this dog
Or just get over it. Just get the fuck over it. Do you know what I mean? Yeah, I mean with that
Let's replace dog with black people. I was mugged by a black guy when I was 14.
Okay, now you're 44.
That's how the human brain works and it's not a good thing.
I know.
You're right.
We need to overcome that.
We do.
Black people don't mug you and not all of them do, so move on.
Point taken.
Why don't we do it with fucking dogs and everything else?
No, we should do it with everything else.
That's right.
Thank you.
Because it would be better people, better humans, if we overcame that particular little
glitch in our brain.
That's right.
Would you like to be a better person?
Me and Drew on tour, the reunion tour. Volume 1, baby, brought to you.
