Episode Date: November 23, 2024

Wrestling legend "Diamond" Dallas Page stopped by to talk about his life before wrestling, his Hall of Fame Career and what got him into DDP Yoga.

Hey, hey, welcome back for another edition of the Adam and Dr. Drew show classics. I am your host, Big Brother Jake, aka Jake Warner. My government name. Let's get it started. First up is episode 548 that aired on March 30th, 2017. Adam and Drew welcomed wrestling legend, Diamond Dallas Page to the show. We talk about his yoga, talk about his career, and fun was had by all. Check it out.

Diamond Dallas Page was beat up by many, many years of wrestling, and so are many other guys by many, many years of wrestling. It's probably the most unnatural thing you can do to your body I mean honestly when you fall for the first time like you got to fall flat, right? The first thing you want to do is bring your arm back like that's what everybody's you start falling to chair You bring your arm back. We bring your arm back You're gonna whack your elbow or throw your shoulder out So they make you like do like the craziest thing like the guys on all fours and you bring your hands on his back and you get your feet up in the air and then you just fall right yeah yeah i remember i went

to wrestling camp once with jimmy i remember doing a whole bunch of unnatural stuff jimmy if you see that bit he got thrown at the end and he got jacked up he did not get up quickly now. I felt bad for laughing It made for good television, but Yeah, it is one of these things where it is Unnatural and People look at it is so this sort of you know violent ballet or something that these guys are taking a beating that's it I mean, what's what's what's natural about ballet though around on your tiptoes, man. But it's an art, you know, and really what we do is an art because we're trying to get you and just get that element of disbelief. Like, it was like those two, like we were, me and Randy Savage, ooh, yeah, the macho man, you know, that guy,

snapping to his limb gym, like he was amazing. And he was a god for years. When me and him wrestled together, we were the feud of the year in 1997. And I'd have people come up to me all the time and go, you know, I know this, it's wrestling, a lot of that stuff's fake out there, but you and Savage, you hate each other. I loved him. Yeah, but I hate him on TV. Well, it's a... It's like the Andy Kaufman thing. Right. But hate him on TV. Well, it's it's a the Andy Kaufman thing, right?

We want to talk about a group though drew I mean you hear about NFL interior linemen and you hear about the abuse of painkillers and the life after the NFL and so on and so forth but I don't know anyone who has a worse batting average in professional wrestlers in terms of drug abuse, joint stress, you know, I mean these guys, I, more than it's funny because you think well football, now there's a sport or whatever, but you take football, you take baseball, you take basketball, you take bull riding, you take boxing, you take MMA, you take any sport and you show me the average guy ten years after he got out of the sport

I don't think there's any guys worse off physically than wrestlers. Well, they first of all we have no season I remember being when whoopie had These Hollywood squares so I was out for one of those and someone's like, yeah, did he pia? When's your season when you're off time? Yeah when I'm injured When you're injured you got the pain kills and go out and like sales today The WWE's wellness and I'm not blowing smoke. I'm shooting here They have the best wellness program with anybody because you can't even take a pain pill unless it's like it goes right through them But back in our day

That's how we did that and Jake in the movie, you know, he's addicted to everything. One night we're out. I became like Jake's gopher. Like I would do it with every Jake because I wanted to learn from the master. And one night we're out after working and he throws a Percocet in his mouth and he chews it up. And I think it's a Percocet but I'm not positive because they taste horrible, right? So I said, Jake, was that a percocet? He goes, yeah. I go, why would you chew that? Those taste like shit. He said, goes right into your system. I've seen you take a few. How many are you taking today? I don't know, nine, ten, like not even thinking about it. Like that might have been 15 or 20. Right. said why are you taking so many he said they lose their potency after a while so remember

I'm 36 years old the time I've just started like I started at 35 and a half I'm thinking I need those things to work and the reason why they don't work as well because you mix them with booze. They don't work as well because you get tolerant to them over time and you just have to escalate the dose until you stop breathing and then you die. That's it. So we have a lot of guys going. Diamond Dallas Page basically, you know, how do you keep the weight off? Well, then, so then it becomes this horrible negative cycle, which is your joints are killing you. So you can't move move so you put weight on and now it's more stress on your joints So how do you keep the weight off? How do you exercise?

How do you get mobility back when you don't have mobility and so DDP yoga came about which I? Just think sort of ingenious because that was the only way guys like you and a lot of these other guys who are essentially bad You couldn't hit the Treadmill but you know for me it was all out of necessity because I'm that guy who wouldn't be caught dead doing yoga the first 42 years of my career in my life period but when you start wrestling so late I'm the first guy to ice my body No one in professional wrestling ice their body for years and they're watching me do it Put the ice on my knee wrap it it up, put it on my back. What are you doing?

Taking down the inflammation. Right. And they laughed at me. I mean, they had played a lot of fun with me on that. Today, trainers, they got it all. But back then, when I got to 40 and my career took off in 1996, I was on 270 nights a year hitting the mat and it would be the equivalent of the main event not that I was wrestling in five six car accidents in a match and my body is taking a serious beating

but the adrenaline of that 22,000 people and just the dream living the dream at a whole different level and it got to a point where now I'm like top guy in the world and I blow my back out. I just signed a multimillion dollar three year deal. I don't get paid if I don't wrestle. So three different spine specialists told me my career is over. Now this is where DDP Yoga comes from. And depression, you know, the whole deal. But I pull myself out of that because I don't stay depressed. I get depressed, but I don't stay there. I find that way to attitude of gratitude to get myself out of that hole. Okay, what are we going to do? And I was married at the time and she was like, you really need to try you need to try yoga, it could help you. He knows how I feel about it. So reluctantly, I went down and she showed me a cup. No, I'm not doing that one. No, not doing that one. And I find the power yoga. Okay, I'll try that. I can't do anything.

I can't do the moves. Superman. So inflexible at the moment. And I keep doing it though. And I figure out the modifications. And in less than three weeks, I start to feel a significant difference. Now I'm doing the rehab too. and I've had both shoulder surgeries, both knee surgeries. So I know a little bit about rehab and breaking up scar tissue. So I mix the rehab with the yoga positions. Then I throw in old school calisthenics, slow burn movement, because I can't go up and down. I can't hit the weights. I'm doing them on my knees, the pushups where I lower for three Hold for three come up for three lower three hold for three then go into Cobra in the down dog

Eventually, I got my knees Eventually was three second become five five become ten ten become sets of ten My body's getting stronger like I can feel like I'm gonna get back in this ring Less than three months. What is today? No deep yoga. I'm back in the ring. I feel the same way. I tell you, I feel about yoga the same way I feel about meditation, which is everybody... it's easy to make fun of, but everyone would benefit from it. And we talk to people all the time who are like, I'm supposed to get back surgery or I'm whatever. And it's like, just start getting into yoga,

start stretching and start Start something but anything but just go under that knife the worst thing man And the Hulk has had eight back operation now the guy who I've been reaching out to today big time though Tiger Woods one of the greatest athletes we know ever of greatest golfer He has had bad back problems and he's had three operations Like if I had got with him before he had that operation I know I could turn it around because I just know what I'm doing and I've Yes figured out a way to I don't I it's it's a I mean it's weird

But I do I look I don't have back problems with everybody We've talked to that has them. I just don't know anybody who wouldn't benefit from this that has them. I just don't know anybody who wouldn't benefit from this versus the knife. You had them when you were depressed, remember? I did. I did have them when I was, I had a combination of being depressed and, you know, working on a roof all day. And you'd fall off a scaffolding with a power draw, power saw on your foot. No, I haven't, I have not had a, and I haven't had a back ailment since I started doing what I wanted to do That wasn't wrestling doing comedy. So I didn't have to worry about it so much. But boy, there's a couple things with the back

When I was when I hated my job and I hated it with a passion I would wake up Monday morning at 615 and go I can't turn my head my neck felt like it's filled with poison I that's what it felt like we will say though What do you feel like I felt like there's poison in my neck like I can't if you stand behind me and say boo I have to walk around to see who you are. I'm not gonna turn my head Drew knows I'm not a puss. I have like a high pain tolerance and I was Immobile and and I was young and strong It's just that's

where my mind was at and the second I met Jimmy, the second I got in a radio, the second I started doing comedy, I've never had another back and I've continued to you know box and be active and do stuff. The way this stuff is really perpetuated today is with the painkillers. Right. It guarantees it as you said more than two weeks we were talking about that the other day more than two weeks of painkillers you're on it's game on now yeah I wouldn't well by that I was so poor and whatever I didn't even have a aspirin at my house so my neck didn't work I just lay back on my futon and hope to die like that that was it but this again like yoga is right up there with like meditation like if

everybody just carved out a few minutes every day to do a little this and a little that we'd have a much better society and everyone's back would be better too. I can sign on to that. But to tell the story about falling off that scaffolding, it's an amazing story as long as we brought it up. Two minutes. I was working in Silver Lake. I was on the- Roofer? No, I was just a glorified goon, as they called them. I was just labor.

People glorify construction like, oh, you're working with a master carpenter and you're an apprentice. No, I'm a guy who picks up shit walking around. I just pick up garbage mainly and throw in a dumpster. I'd work my way up to being able to use the tools a little bit. Of course, they just give you the shittiest job ever. And the shittiest job ever was a house up in Silver Lake. On a hillside?

On a hill. So the front door was at street level. And then the bedroom was like downstairs, walk down the stairs that go down the hill. So it was kind of a two story house. And the kitchen was up on the first floor. And they had these cement stairs, like steep cement stairs that went down the side. Do you know the stairs, the community stairs up there? Yeah, it looks like that. Those are the ones that Laurel and Hardy

were pushing the piano up. Yeah, you could walk down to the street below you if you want to endure a little ivy, it would stop at a certain point anyway. And the Stooges had a couple of these stumps on the stairs thing. They built a scaffolding that not went from the ground up, but just two by fours that went out the window and then a platform plywood seat on it. I was sitting and I had a skillsaw, the hypoids saw is called, and I had a carburant blade, I think it was. I was cutting stucco above my head. It was a mace wrinkly. So you're sitting in a window sill. Sitting in a it was. I was cutting stucco above my head. It was a mace wrinkly. So you're sitting in a window sill.

Sitting in a window sill while I was hanging out of it. Your ass was hanging out the window sill. Well, they made a seat. Wow. You're two stories up. Yeah, my feet were inside on the sill. My ass was outside about two foot. And I was holding this big saw, stucco which is a mess. I just plunged it, cutting it over my head and stuff just rained and you're covered with

sweat so it just comes down on top of you and sticks to all of you and you feel all sticky and hard. Brutal. It's like a wire inside, right? A wire mess in there. It's called a laugh. Yeah, anyway. The thing with no real warning, like it didn't start creaking or anything,

just popped and it just went. Like the thing I was sitting on just went. And so I found myself with my feet just dragging down the side of this stucco building and I knew I was going to land on the cement stairs. And I knew it was like, it's going to be bad because I was going to land sort of half on and half off. Like I wasn't gonna get And my and you have a saw still

I had a I had a presence of mine, but I didn't remember it happened so fast I what happened was is I went down the building My right ass cheek landed on the step. My left ass cheek was in the air But my left palm went down onto the ground and then the scaffolding came down and I was really quick. I grabbed it and pulled it and grabbed it over my head like Wile E. Coyote with the umbrella when the boulder would land on him because I said, that saw is right behind it. It's a big saw. I wasn't wearing any, you know, hard hat or anything. Why would would ever wear that but as it turned out I had thrown the saw inside of the house

Which was good, but my ass hurt pretty bad and my wrist hurt pretty bad I imagine the neck thing was perhaps initiated there, too Hey, it's Adam Corolla from the Adam Corolla show.

All right, we're back with another segment of the Adam and Dr. Drew Show Classics. Up next is episode 560 that aired on April 17th, 2017,

titled Tim Tebowization, which the fellas discuss Drew's appearance on Adam's old TV show, Adam Kurova and Friends Build Stuff Live, and have a pretty hilarious interaction regarding this appearance. Take a listen. I'm on Spike tonight at 11 o'clock. Me and Jen Elfman enjoy that show. Oh, it's going to suck without me and my wife on there. Everyone loved that little vignette drew

Well, they like the toilet seat to be fair I liked a lot of it. Yeah, let's say but lots of lots of good laughs. I didn't I didn't know the part I didn't see you guys on the part where my son plays the the whorehouse music. That was very funny I I don't know, you know certain parts of comedy are sort of Intellectually funny and then some are sort of rhythmic in the way he was playing the whorehound. Well, and it was cut right to him perfectly Yeah, that's very funny. Gary's got a question about Yeah, I just I wasn't there but after you taped that episode Jenna Elfman was tweeting a lot tagging you and me No Adam and Steve Martin

Is there any reason is that sometime will that be revealed when I watch tonight or I don't think so but I'm not sure maybe she knows Steve Martin I've never met Steve Martin and I'm not smart enough to see she wrote a lot of nice stuff but I'm not a not shrewd enough to even know that you know like like somebody was calling me a hypocrite and Because you have said some Things about her have you come around now? No not about her. I'll be a douche. Sorry. No. I've never said anything about her I've said things about Scientology, oh she's an autologist. Oh, this is true. This is tough. Didn't it's really difficult

But but I know but and no, my point is this. I'm not good enough to figure out the hashtags and who else is looped in on it most of the time, so I never... So somebody said like, what are they saying about me? Hashtag ass, asshat or something? Astard. Astard. I don't even know it's hashtag, hashtag astard, start till somebody Gary later explained that they did the hashtag a start

I change on the side of the show during the show they did no no I'm jumping around subjects here It was me giving me giving like my opinion on Trump or the guy dragged off the airplane or whatever my opinion was He was not enjoying my opinion on spice or whatever whatever it was. I think that's so you're an ass tart. I Am evidently commenting on ass tarts. No, I Know but I think if fucktard road runs off the tongue a little bit. I like that. Yeah, I agree. Yeah, so Drew what's going on with you? So I got a couple things So you the spike thing went well? Yeah, that was all right the spike thing

Yeah, they were dead. The Frenchman wasn't very prominent. I thought that's what that was very funny I I agree you go around and film for three hours They got to whack it down to three minutes and at a certain point I just run out of hours in the day in terms of like I you're going over and going through and Navigating and well,, you know I have this Sort of thing which is The stuff the bit was strong. I don't know I Make my notes on it, but there's a big difference between

Making my notes on what they're giving me and going give me everything you have with the French tile setter I want to go through it all. Yeah. That's gonna take a little while. Yeah. And this since this version is a good solid eight and a half or nine anyway, I don't know what I'm missing over that but considering my schedule we'll just move forward. Believe it or yeah Yeah, something I get hurting or missing or you know, it's just sort of a four and a half or five now we got to go back and Show me everything totally get it. Although what you started with the tile on the doorjam Goes on to this day. Oh what happened? Remember you was too flush with the doorjam Mm-hmm, and you didn't like the wood of the doorjam. Well, you got mrs. Pinsky spinning

Really? Yeah, she didn't like the wood in the door jam, well you got Mrs. Pinsky spinning. Really? Oh yeah. She didn't know. She agreed wholeheartedly with you and it still goes on how we're going to solve those problems. Well, are you going to put casing around the door jam? I'm imagining that's what she's going to do. Okay.

I don't know. I don't know enough to know. I just stay out of it. Everyone just needs to know that in carpentry, when two of surfaces come together it makes for a bad seam unrelated surfaces or to Like no, I'll give you it's always this. I mean I always kind of tell people this You put in your door jam. Yeah, and Now it's time to put the casing around the door. You never put the casing flush with the door jam you slide it back Heavy would be a quarter inch

Weak would be an eighth about 316 just like us health Healthy eighth or weak quarter you slide it back and you pointed that out during the right because if you put it flush It just makes for a bad scene. It'll make a bad crack and you could ca caulk that crack with your finger or whatever, it'll come back, it'll just peek through versus creating a step in a detail. You get to create more detail. So that's kind of the rule of thumb. So when I was seeing your jam sort of just flush up with the tile and maybe grout right up to the jam, I was picturing kind of a bad joint.

So now if you're going over it with casing... That's fine. That's fine. So I'm hoping that's what they're gonna do. She's actually taking issue with the tile. And the other thing... That's why I got out of the business. I noticed... Your wife and all of her ilk. Because you're not dealing with anybody else, are you, when you're doing construction? No. Well, every once in a while I'd say that... A gay man. You have a gay man once in a while.

Yeah. And the broken shell of a husband where I'd go, you know, your wife said put down the quarter round, but I think she meant base shoe. It's much better. You wait till Susan gets home. Like, oh, I'm going to go get it now. No, now no no don't do anything don't tell her i said it was okay i mean she finds out i mean don't don't don't don't let's both just sit here can we just hug can we just spoon until she comes home i don't want to get into trouble i don't want anything

i don't know what you're talking about but i don't want any trouble. I just throw my hands up and come out, I'm out. I hear you. I hear you. Guy's scared to death. Yeah, yeah. So I literally, and she literally knows a lot more than I do. And I really don't know what the hell I'm doing, as you well know. Well, she has to know something and she knows a lot more. Yeah, I was trying to figure out how much time it would take me if I were going to do the screw Adam contest.

If you needed somebody on the bottom on the show, I would easily, easily command that. Well, I'm trying to think now how fast I could do it because ultimately, it's gonna have to attempt to best Trace Atkins or whoever's at the top of the leaderboard. And if you can finger cut off first, you have to do a little bit of handicap. And a little finger cut off first you have to do a little bit of a handicap. I you know The reality with me is I'm not you know, I handle tools for me It's it for me It's it's a thought process that I have the advantage over everyone because I know how everything is done Yeah, and I've done everything but it's not really about how many screws can you sink in a log in ten minutes?

It's more like I see visually everything. I just see it in 3D in my head when we're talking about whatever it is we're talking about. I see it. I've laid it out. I know exactly what everything is. Which is a, well you see it, like a doctor I guess, or a surgeon. You just see, you know when I talk to guys and they're going like, well, you know, we could open up the kitchen wall, but it's not just about putting a header, we got to get down and underpinning and we got to, we got to dial in the existing footing and poor pattern, whatever I see, you've already seen every single thing

they're talking, see it exactly. I see exactly what they're saying. We'll be right back with more of the Adam and Dr. Drew show classics. All right, last up for today we have episode 585 which aired on May 21st, 2017. Jimmy O. Yang from Silicon Valley fame stopped by to talk to the fellas and they discuss how conservatism gets shows canceled in Hollywood. Here we go. Jimmy O. Yang is here from Silicon Valley and many other endeavors.

Lots of movies coming up, lots of stuff, lots of heat around Jimmy O. But this is the most important thing in my life to me. You've got to understand. You're joining my two dads. I'm serious, man. I know it seems like I'm like you know I really kiss an ass when I'm up here but I'm not. You are but it's also it's okay. I literally wrote down I look back like I have a sheet of like goals that I write

like every year and maybe five years ago you know one of my goals was like get on TV show do some movies and then also get on the Adam and Trish I'm not kidding or you know the Adam Carolla family. I am so flattered. I'm tickled pink that you that you said that and I you know I like this idea of sitting down and writing goals down. I you know I have this kind of rich man poor man kind of thing that I like to do and Drew knows some of it and you know, like rich man, poor man, there's a million of them, but like, there's some good ones like owns a sword. And it's like, that's a poor dude fighting

off the cops and his underpants like on pass salts. And then that's the rich guy over the fireplace, you know, the family crest and all that like that. Middle, you know, middle the road, you know, we're a couple of school teachers and we drive a Ford Taurus. They don't own swords. You know, that's the top and the bottom. To be fair, the rich guy's sword is actually forged steel by a samurai. The poor guy's sword is a broom handle that he thinks is a sword. No, it's something he bought from the army surplus store to protect himself on the street, you know, because he spent a lot of time on

the street you know but I've so I started this sort of rich man poor man thing and people would tweet me their rich man poor man stuff and it was always like started off with outdoor shower like that's a rich dude move the cabana by the pool and everything and also what Adam did outside his mom's garage with a hose a hose but as I think about lists Lists are the domain of the winner and the loser If you just think extremes because I know people is like I'm gonna write down my goals for 1997 you know and it's like you know half those people are losers and it's like, you know, half those people are losers, and it's like, I want you to just go out and get, quit smoking, make more eye contact, you know, all that stuff, and then they're just right back to it the next day. Like, I feel like they can be New Year's resolution type things and just go the way the dodo. But there are other people write the goals down, and go, that guy's on top of it, that guy's sharp. You know what I mean? It's a feast or famine with the writing down of the goals. It makes me wonder whether the writing down makes any difference.

I think so. I think it's a sort of random. But it's in the eye of the beholder. There are people who write it down and go out and treat it as a punch list and go take care of it. And then they're the ones that are just doing it so they can feel satiated. But I absolutely agree with and understand what you're saying but it makes me wonder if the list itself

really is what it has anything to do with it. What has something to do with it is just this guy says I want to do a couple things and he starts doing them. What I'm saying is when Jimmy O-Yang makes a list it's a good thing. When my buddy Ray makes a list it's a bad thing. You see what I'm saying? when Jimmy O-Yang makes a list, it's a good thing. When my buddy Ray makes a list, it's a bad thing. You see what I'm saying? I think the list makes you see the opportunities more clearly, right? Like let's just say for the Adam and Drew thing, like I want to be on this show, I want to hang out with you guys. So when I made that on the list and then when I saw my friend Fred Stoller on the show,

I was like, Fred, take me on the show. So now I have a clear goal and when the opportunities came, I know to, you know, bug Fred about it. Yeah, to plug it in. Yeah. So it's go to show, bug Fred. Yeah, yeah, you need Fred Stoller to make that list happen. So this may be the factor that makes every list work, is Fred Stoller.

I got to tell you, you know, we spend so much time talking always about education and the have and the have nots and the chasm. Forget all that. Just the showing up, like, you know, I had, oh, let's see. Oh, I had Charlemagne the God in here. And he's DJ, author, all around interesting cat, you know. And I sort of thought he was going to come in and start up with my white privilege and how his black life mattered and stuff. And he wasn't that way at all. He was just like, I was, you know,

19, 18, 19, I was fucking up. I had no excuses. My parents were pretty good educated so and so forth that I was a fuck-up I was dealing drugs. That's kind of a mess and I want to get my shit together and I thought about doing radio so I showed up at the radio station and they sort of said Yeah, we don't need anything and then he was kind of like for free You don't need anything for free and then he sort of went to like they sort of shooed him away. You know every business has that person at the by the front door that's there just to shoo. Yeah. It's like when you go into the Costco and the doors open you get that big whoosh of air so no gnats fly in. There's businesses that just radio stations have a woman who sits there that shoes like

hey get out of here. Go on get you know and you just who sits there that shoes like quick get out of here go on get you know You just go hey Do you guys need go get out of here go on get out of here? And he just sort of went like to the sales department He said I bet you guys wouldn't mind someone who would work for free and they're like you want to work for free Yeah, and the next thing you know he's on air and the next thing you know he's going over to power or whatever And the next thing you know he's Wendy Williams to power or whatever and the next thing you know he's, Wendy Williams brings him over to New York or whatever it is but just that you know what I mean like that show up make a list go get it

like yeah never you did too right it's what I did every successful person I know did a version of that but it's never discussed is it Drew we have brought it up a number of times but but not nowhere else do I hear it not any like political forums Or anything it's just that there's a kid. There's this thing where they go look Pete there's the haves and then there's the have-nots, but then we never go well what yeah so plenty of people have a lot of stuff, so well what yeah so plenty of people have a lot of stuff so we just got to kick something down to the half knots and it's like that's not really it's like

saying there's a lot of a students a lot of students so why are you what are you doing with all those a's there Jimmy and true and how about me I'm D minus F how many wait you get straight a's I get a bunch of D's what do you need all those things you could give me some of your a's, come on, give me some A's. You give me two A's, you give me two A's, now what do you got? Well you got four A's, and I'll have four A's, two because I got two from you and two for you. And clearly O-Yang's A's are because of Asian privilege.

Yeah, obviously. You can't spell Asia. But it does bring an interesting point. Why don't we let the guys have the A's and then why don't you bring up the D minuses? Why don't you bring them up without bringing the other guys down? Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, but Drew, when I'm elected, I'll tell you why. You want to know why? Because these people who are getting the D's, they come from families that don't get A's historically.

So we can't expect them. I see. All right? And they're poor. I see. And a lot of them look different than we do. And not only that, you know how you got your A's? Making sure they got D's. Oh, I see. That's how you got, you guys know? Did you not know how you got those A's? I put my heel in the throat of the D's. Yeah. Lifted yourself up to get the top of the chalkboard with the rarefied air. On their necks. Well how else? Well look, if you didn't do it, ancestors, grandparents, you know what I'm saying? Alright, so now that we've established. Oh yeah, too, his ancestors. Absolutely. Well hold on. Well we did an old country and we brought into this country. Not interested in your country of origin so the color of your skin. Do you have A's? Yeah do you have a's well then you stepped on somebody okay so now you guys

who stepped on people to get your a's right yeah or I don't even know if those are your a's your dad could have given you those a's so you had this ill-fated plan for us to lift these people up how can we when you're stepping on their neck? Right. Okay. So why don't you take a couple of those A's. By the way, Drew, do you need six A's? Don't you think you could get by with four? Jimmy, what do you think, four A's?

No, no, no. You need all six, Drew, right? But you're not paying your fair share of A's. Kick some of those A's down to the D student. And by the way, you think that's how D students get smarter? You drizzle some A's on them while they're on the ground? Does that help them? They taxing you A's, man. Did you see there's a new bill coming through California which is going to stratify moving violations?

Parking. Car violations. Oh, I do know what you mean, but I wouldn't know what stratify meant, but I know what it means to commensurate with your income. And I defended it a little bit based on your experience, because you talked about how that was really could screw you up, because then you get a warrant and then you'd get... That is what's screwing up. And I would definitely be fine with the...

Well, there's two things. Oh Now I'm getting angry. Oh Jimmy watch out. He's angry. I Would be fine With the here's what you do if you pay this much. Here's what you have to do but also And they're gonna have they got to have categories, you know, they gotta make hundred grand a year plus 500 again here plus a million and then above or something like that. They've got to break it down

They'll break it down a few ways. That's fine. I'll be in the top group I get to go five miles an hour faster for every group. I'm above Okay, so I get to go like 95 So you get you get some benefit to being in that group as well as of higher liability. Well it's the only, it's the way, it's like I say all the time, it's the way every single facet of life works. Should work. No, works.

Not should work, but the government. I'm going to Vegas this weekend. Vegas is a little snow globe of how everything works. Which is you can come into their facility and play nickel slots if you would like, but you don't get comped a room and you don't get comped a show and those well drinks dry up pretty quick because you're just there. If you'd like to be a whale and come in and sit at the high rollers table and push a lot of chips out in. If you'd like to be a whale and come in and sit at the high rollers table and push a lot of chips out in front of you, you will get a room and you will get to see Celine Dion

because that's how their business works. They know exactly what they're doing. The day somebody tells them, hey, you gotta give comps, you gotta comp a suite to the nickel slot players too, that's the day they go out of business. They can't work that way. And then it's also not fair to go, look, the nickel slotter's not getting the room. So you big whales who sit at the big time table, you don't get one either

because they don't. That's all for this week. Thanks for listening to the Adam and Dr. Drew Show Classics.
