Like personal space invaders. I've had it with these couples
Starting point is 00:01:25 that sit on the same side of the booth. Yak mouths. Stupid stick figure bumper stickers. Almond milk. You cannot milk an almond. Hi, I'm Jennifer. And I'm Angie. We call her Pumps,

See you next Tuesday. Recorded live at Corolla One Studios with Adam Corolla and board-certified physician and addiction medicine specialist,
Starting point is 00:01:57 Dr. Drew Pinsky. You're listening to The Adam and Dr. Drew Show. Yeah, get it on. Got to get on. Dr. Drew's board physician with the striction, stricture, medical stricture status. What's going on,
Starting point is 00:02:15 man? You know, I, tomorrow night I helped TMZ out with a, a special about Britney Spears. Yeah. Not as this airs, but. Oh, sorry. This is next week.
Starting point is 00:02:29 Sorry, sorry, sorry. Okay. Give them the verbal cue next time. So I helped TMZ out last week with a thing on. I wasn't talking about the finger. I know what you're saying. TMZ, go ahead. It just made me think about cues generally.
Starting point is 00:02:45 And I was thinking about poor Britney Spears, and now she's breaking up with her husband. And I think if you saw that special, I hope they had me essentially saying that she has chronic bipolar disorder. It's rather severe, required a conservatorship. It makes them distort all kinds of memories about what happened. But then I really felt her husband was sort of keeping her glued together. You know what I mean? I felt like – I think like he actually cared about her and he was – you could see her kind of unraveling at times and he kind of seemed to kind of just be there, be there,
Starting point is 00:03:16 be there, which is very helpful with somebody with these kinds of conditions. And now – did you see that at all, Adam, what I'm talking about? Yeah. Yeah. And now that he's see that at all, Adam, what I'm talking about? Yeah. Yeah. And now that he's leaving, we will see. I think there will be some serious unraveling and I wouldn't be surprised if she ended up in the hospital. What do you got there, Emmy?
Starting point is 00:03:41 What do you think of the fragile and hyper-sexualized state that supposedly she's in? That's all part of bipolar, right? That's mania, hypomania. And it's going to – some shit's going to go down. And I started feeling really sorry for her because she's been out there in social media a lot these days. And you can kind of see how smart she is.
Starting point is 00:03:55 She's a smart woman. She's a creative woman. She has made ridiculous amounts of hits and been very successful. And she has chronic bipolar disorder, severe, brittle, rapid cycling bipolar disorder. Yeah. I'll tell you what, Drew.
Starting point is 00:04:15 Just plain and simple. Yeah. We, and I've said this a million times, we were not meant to live this kind of life. And we're not meant for it. What do you mean by this kind of life? Because actually I agree with you. What do you mean by that? Sort of sedentary communications with the world,
Starting point is 00:04:35 from your bathrobe on your sofa, grub hub and sort of making money online and stuff like that. We may evolve to it. We got there too fast and we didn't know what to do with ourselves. And that's what we're seeing. I, every time I got back recently from the track, I see, I meet with, spend time with and have conversations with the sanest people on the planet. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:06 Because they're engaged in something sort of physical. They have a goal. There's an outcome. There's something to do. They come across as exquisitely sane. Well, there's an interesting— I mean, you can feel it on them when you're talking to them. Yeah, I mean, you can feel it when you're talking. Yeah, I know what you're talking about and competent and capable and, you know, engaging
Starting point is 00:05:31 and all that good stuff. So the question, though, is were they that way and that's why they engage in these activities or do these activities keep them sane and engaging or is it impossible to tell? Well, look, it's both yeah i mean it it it works it works both ways yeah that's sort of under the impossible and and it so here's what it is yeah not everyone is naturally made for that yeah that's where society comes in except for shutting down schools for rain days and telling everyone to stay home is not helping that not moving things in that they need to show up at school have a guy with a whistle
Starting point is 00:06:11 hanging around his neck telling him to run some bleachers and then it's off to work on our kayak and wood shop you know what i mean they need that everyone it. They don't want it. They need it. We've lost track of want versus need. But it's – They don't want it. Well, don't do it. Who are you to say? That's who we're at now.
Starting point is 00:06:33 Okay. You are one of the rarer people who enjoys working out. Yeah. Most – I feel very lucky to be that, by the way. That's a huge. I've seen people on the extreme other end where they literally like three minutes on a treadmill, they go, you don't understand, it hurts. Right. I can't do it. Right. Like, oh, man. Oh, that's
Starting point is 00:06:58 got to be terrible. Yeah. That's their life. Yeah. So you're one of the people who enjoys it. Yeah. Very rare. and then there's most everyone else who just doesn't want to do it but they sort of push themselves to do it and then society kind of pushes you into it a little bit because you put on your swim trunks and your belly's hanging out a little and you go all right i'm gonna lose a few pounds or whatever whatever it is i've lost 12 pounds really Really? Yeah. And doing what? I'm doing that V-Shred thing that I've been working with, and it freaking worked for me.
Starting point is 00:07:30 I knew it was a good program. That's why I got behind it. I'm like, eh, it's working. Well, I don't know about that. Yeah, I'll tell you about it. So the point is few people can just be left on their own to work out every day. Others need things, an environment that sort of facilitates. Yes.
Starting point is 00:07:48 You know what I mean? So they show up at school. Like a trainer. Yeah, the gym coach starts yelling at everyone, start running some laps, you know, and that's why there are gym coaches and why there's trainers and why there's equipment and why the gym's open 24 hours
Starting point is 00:08:03 because you can't say, oh, I work nights, so I don't have a chance. You know, like, nope the gym's open 24 hours because you can't say, oh, I work nights, so I don't have a chance. You know, like, no, it's open 24 hours. Now, many people are stable emotionally naturally, but that's rare. The rest are stabilized by the behavior and the activity. Yeah. And we've removed the activity well and so now there's a lot of yeah the activity is the structure yeah yeah we've gotten rid of that
Starting point is 00:08:32 we put everyone on the honor system and it's no wonder that people are falling off you know i mean so every everything that you know we go oh you know we're not going to make it a felony for theft unless it's over $1,000. Okay, what do we get? Theft. Lots of theft under $1,000. It's just whatever that thing is, that's what we get. Oh, you know, we're on the honor system. If you want to travel with your dog, go ahead.
Starting point is 00:09:04 As long as it's a service dog. Okay, boom. Dog's at the airport. Right. And I'm thinking about these flash mob things. They're sort of genius. As opposed to one guy showing up with a gun and making off with $100,000 worth of stuff, you bring 50 people and each makes off with $990 worth of stuff.
Starting point is 00:09:19 I've always said this, Drew. First things first. Do they even care how much they're stealing? No one's going to catch them. Number one. You're not allowed to. Right. Number two. In California. Believe it or not, Drew. First things first. Do they even care how much they're stealing? No one's going to catch them, number one. You're not allowed to. Right. Number two... In California. Believe it or not, guys, believe it or not, you're not allowed to. Number two, I always told you, if enough
Starting point is 00:09:33 people decided to do anything, murder or speed on the freeways, then law enforcement would just step by, step back and look. There's just... You you cannot do you cannot police a a over a certain percentage yeah um you know there's uh people driving on the la freeways uh nine percent of them are speeders that can be policed if it's 69 then it cannot be
Starting point is 00:10:00 policed the cops get out of the way, everyone speeds. That's how it works. And if any of those people you pull over just decide they're never going to pay that parking ticket and they're not going to do a speeding ticket or anything, that's unpoliceable. That's what I'm saying. And that's what we're sort of- So what are we doing? We're drifting into that. Why are we doing that? So what are we doing?
Starting point is 00:10:22 We're drifting into that. Why are we doing that? What makes us, what makes people that advocate for that kind of thing think that's helpful to people, good for people? Okay. It's chick think. It's just chicks, remember? Gavin Newsom thinks like a chick. But it's plenty of dudes who think like chicks, but it's just chick think. People sort of get out, get out of the way, let them.
Starting point is 00:10:46 It's kind of interesting. First off, it's a death of math. It's just, look, if that kid's not reading at 10th grade level when he's in the 10th grade, then reconjigger it so that the 10th grade level is really the fifth grade level, and then he'll be reading at the 10th grade level is really the 5th grade level and then he'll be reading at the 10th grade level. It's a math.
Starting point is 00:11:09 It's an anti-math. You know what I mean? Anti-reality, too. Right, right. Yeah, math is reality. Math is reality. Like, oh, these kids are getting arrested for shoplifting. Well, then raise it to $1 thousand dollars and then they won't be
Starting point is 00:11:26 arrested and then we won't have to incarcerate and then there'll be no more people in uh in prisons you know i mean so it's a it's a kind of a retarded reverse engineering of things and it's a death of math but it's also a lot of compassionate wishful chick thing is how it works. That's the part that... These unhoused people, they're proud, but they fall on... I mean, when you hear AOC and she's talking about the homeless and she goes, this could be a mother who lost her job
Starting point is 00:11:56 who just wants a piece of bread, you know, stealing a loaf of bread to feed her family. That's 100% chick thing. Nobody's stolen a baguette and given it to their hungry kid and that and if they did we wouldn't care it's that's not what we're talking that's zero percent of the people that's zero just like gavin newsom was explaining me about who the real homeless were the real right same exact thing yes Yes, the real homeless. Right. The real face of homelessness.
Starting point is 00:12:28 That's the mom of three. Mom of three, lost her job. Unemployed. By the way, according to Gavin Newsom, she's got a full-time minimum wage job. Oh, that's right. She's actually working while she's on the sidewalk. She's got a full-time job for minimum wage. And then she got divorced.
Starting point is 00:12:46 You know, a friend of mine said to me. You've got to find that clip, Evan. All right, let me tell you about SimpliSafe first, and then I have another point. Squeezing in one last summer getaway, before you take off, protect your home with the latest innovation from SimpliSafe Home Security 24-7 live guard protection.
Starting point is 00:13:01 We're talking about some of the stuff that's going out of control. You've got to push back. That is simply safe. Fast protect monitoring. Simply safe agents can deter intruders through the smart alarm wireless camera, warning them that they're being recorded and monitored and the police are on the way. Named the best home security of 2023, U.S. News & World Report.
Starting point is 00:13:21 I feel like they've been named that multiple times by U.S. News. We have them. Adam has it. They're easy to put up, easy to install, no long-term commitments, and take it with you when you go. And for our listeners, right now you can get 20% off any SimpliSafe system. When you sign up for that fast protect monitoring, huge offer, limited time. Again, everyone that uses SimpliSafe is very, very happy with it.
Starting point is 00:13:46 What you need to do is go to SimpliSafe, S-I-M-P-L-I, SimpliSafe.com slash Adam2. And that's Adam with the numeral 2, Adam2. Again, it is SimpliSafe, S-I-M-P-L-I-S-A-F-E, SimpliSafe.com slash Adam2. There is no safe like SimpliSafe. All right. What were you going to say? Let me get back to where my head was at with this. What were we talking about?
Starting point is 00:14:10 God damn it. Newsome. I can't remember. I don't know what I was going to tell you. It'll come to me. All right. I was telling you that Newsome was explaining who the homeless are, and I was explaining to him they don't exist and what you say they are.
Starting point is 00:14:28 We've talked about this a lot. So first things first, in ChickThink, a semi-whimsical story of either good or bad, but it's kind of whimsical that doesn't really make sense yeah you know where you go these are just hard-working folks that lost their job got divorced and uh found a full-time job but it's minimum wage it's not they're out there with their families on the streets nothing it's a hard-working people that just are down on their luck you know know, and you go, I've never seen that. Never. It doesn't exist. No. It does not exist.
Starting point is 00:15:10 Maybe in some city or something. Not here. I've never seen kids with a mom. No, no. But there are homeless kids. But she's working full time, remember? Yeah. So she'd have to be in a Burger King outfit with their kids living on the sidewalk. And where would they be?
Starting point is 00:15:26 They'd be left on the sidewalk while mom's at Burger King? Is that what happens? Okay, it doesn't exist, what you're saying. And when AOC is talking about the poor person stealing the loaf of bread to feed her kids, that also does not exist. It's not like, oh, it exists, but in slightly smaller numbers it doesn't exist so you're telling some sort of fable fairy tale a fairy tale about life about humans yeah about humans and by the way what they're doing bled into covid with all the everything get the mask
Starting point is 00:15:58 oh well okay you well why can't you go to school you're young and healthy but you live with your grandparents it's like who the fuck lives with their grandparents in los angeles you know what i mean it's again it's a it's a fable yeah hey you you all right you get that bucket of popcorn we're watching you you can eat that popcorn at sofi stadium but don't you be nursing that thing out for they're telling like a fable. Do you know what I'm saying? Yes. To justify.
Starting point is 00:16:29 First of all, to virtue signal to make themselves feel good and to substantiate their position, these things. I remember what I wanted to say now, which was that I was just driving in here. I was talking to a friend of mine about this issue, minimum wage and who's working and how is it. We were talking about what's going on in the economy and for people. And he said, he goes, you know, people are very employed. I go, yeah, but these are low salary jobs.
Starting point is 00:16:53 He goes, I don't know. He goes, every time I go to Taco Bell, on the screen after I swipe my card is 15%, 20%, 25% tip and the kid's standing in front of me. I always push that button. So I don't know how much they're making right now. I thought, oh, that's interesting. That hasn't even been factored in anywhere. Yes.
Starting point is 00:17:13 All right. We have Newsom's clip. Always a good one. Hey, by the way, that was my issue, homelessness and my passionate efforts to deal with homeless. It's an issue that no one cares about. I care deeply. Well, listen, the thing about homeless people is they're either junkies or they're crazy or they're both. This notion of like the guy's a hard worker.
Starting point is 00:17:35 All right, stop it there for a second. This is 10 years ago. Yeah. And that was true. They're either junkies or they're crazy. Or they're both. Or they're both. Correct.
Starting point is 00:17:44 I identified the problem from the guy, by the way. It's his number one issue. It's gotten way worse under his watch, by the way. But it's his number one issue. Nobody cares except him. It's not my number one issue. No one cares. It's his number one issue.
Starting point is 00:17:59 No one cares except him. Okay. So I tell him what the problem is yes and then he says they're junkies or they're crazy or they're both this notion of like the guy's a hard-working god-fearing family member who lost his job and now had to take to the streets is total nutter but what about the picture of real homelessness which is a poor mom with two kids with a husband who took off and left her who's sitting there struggling on that minimum wage job, and all of a sudden now is out in the streets and sidewalks desperately trying to find some help, get her life back, can't get those kids
Starting point is 00:18:31 into childcare. I think that's what happened at Jewel. Can't afford them. That was the tough thing. Yeah, that's tough. And that's a picture of family homelessness in this country. No, that's a postage stamp. No.
Starting point is 00:18:39 The real picture is bigger than the AIDS quilt, and those are crazy junkies. Yeah, but no. All right. I just told him what it was. He disagreed. He wants to focus on the real picture. But the real picture is not a picture anyone has ever seen. So the reason you don't see it.
Starting point is 00:18:56 So he's telling a story. He's fucking Spielberg. Yes. This is what's going on. This bizarre kind of storytelling. And by the way, my mom votes for the person with the story. Of course. She cares.
Starting point is 00:19:10 Yeah. You're calling them junkies. You're calling them crazy. This guy cares about the real, but what about? By the way. By the way, any problem, completely unidentified, is completely unfixable. Well, and the reality is they don't care about drug addicts and mentally ill. They don't care.
Starting point is 00:19:32 They don't seem to. Because that's not even on their radar. They couldn't even, like, think about that. They're not interested in that. Not interested in the actual real picture of homelessness. Yeah, it's gotten a lot worse under his watch. And, by the way, let's remind ourselves that, yes, there is this situation where sometimes people live in their car for a couple days or a couple of weeks with kids and whatever.
Starting point is 00:19:51 It happens. But there are so many resources available that if you're not crazy and you are actually looking for solutions, you get help right away, like very quickly off the street. You know, honestly, you don't even need resources. Right. You just need a – you need relationships. A family member. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:12 No, no, a friend, a family member. It's anyone who knows. I got a thousand people's sofas I could crash on, and so does everybody. Yeah. Everybody. Everybody does. But nope. Everybody.
Starting point is 00:20:22 Everybody does. But nope. So this notion of like you got to go down and talk to Father Jim down at the Good Hope Center. If you're sober and you're sane and you lose your job, they literally just bring an inflatable mattress. I was up in the, I was up Pebble Beach, got an Airbnb. Charles crashed out of our house. I'm like, hey, the bedrooms are all smoking for us. I bring my air mattress.
Starting point is 00:20:54 I sleep in the laundry room. Perfect. Puts it down in front of the washer and dryer, just sleeps on an air mattress. Gets up next morning, we all see each other in the kitchen. Yeah. He slept the same way I slept. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:05 Okay. Anyway, we're going to take a break here. He slept the same way I slept. Yeah. Okay. Anyway, we're going to take a break here. I want to tell everybody about our friends at Angie. Homeowners, you know how much work it takes to maintain that home, whether it's everyday maintenance or repairs or just taking on a dream project.

Download the free Angie mobile app today or visit Angie.com. Again, that is Angie, A-N-G-I.com. All right. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:56 So I had a quick question for you. Yeah. Over the week when we were gone, we saw that Gavin Newsom tripled CHP resources to combat retail theft. Found it ironic that he was tripling CHP for retail. Yeah. What does the CHP have anything to do with retail? I guess they're going to wait at the freeway until they get jumped on.
Starting point is 00:22:18 Oh, my God, that's so funny. Because when they robbed the Americana two weeks ago. But wait a minute. But it has to be theft over a thousand dollars that they're going after because it's it is legal to go under a thousand dollars i guess if you jump on the freeway it's not anymore well it's a it's a ticket he's not gonna be bothering with tickets listen um there is no way look whether it's homelessness or bridge construction or building a sea barrier, you have to identify what is going on. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:54 Just go, what are we doing there? Well, the ocean during the storm swell will raise six feet. And here's how many pounds per square inch it needs. And this is the thickness of the concrete wall we're going to put up and we're not going to use number three rebar we're using number eight rebar we're using the thick stuff because it needs to be able to withstand you know category three hurricane or whatever it's all engineering but if you go well what's going on with the seawall well dolphins are farting and they're blowing the water into the town.
Starting point is 00:23:29 And you go, what? Oh, yeah. That's the real picture. I'm going to focus on this. Well, then how would we construct this thing? How would we make the wall? Can't stop the dolphin from farting. You cannot.
Starting point is 00:23:45 It's just a problem. Yes. And you must fix it. Yes. And you must approach it from what is the problem first? Like, I'm building a bridge. Okay. Is it for foot traffic?
Starting point is 00:23:59 No. It's for automobiles and foot traffic. Oh, well, then we're going to have to make it heavier. If cars are going to be driving on it, what about semi-trucks? Yeah, semi-trucks. Okay, now that's a different calculation. There's a big rig, weighs 13,000 pounds fully loaded. We need to be able to, that's what it is.
Starting point is 00:24:17 That's what, what do we need to do? What are we asking this bridge to do? What are we looking for? If it's going to be just hikers and foot traffic then no we don't have to build it out of steel and build out of wood but if we're going to talk semi trucks and yeah and we're going to need caissons or pylons or pilasters we're going to beef this shit up well that's how would one solve any problem if you do not identify the problem in the first place yeah that shows you they don't want to solve any problem if you do not identify the problem in the first place?
Starting point is 00:24:45 Yeah. That shows you they don't want to solve the problem or they don't care. They don't care. They announce it's their number one issue, which is beyond brazen. Their version of the issue. Then they misidentify it. Yeah. And then it gets worse.
Starting point is 00:25:03 Yeah. And then they want to know what's going on. You cannot run anything. My God, I just spent a few weekends ago, I found myself hanging around with the guy, Bill Ford, the guy who runs Ford Motor Company, and Jim Farley, the guy second to him. Those guys can't engage in fantasy storytelling talk. He's like literally going, there's an issue. The UAW workers are looking to go on strike.
Starting point is 00:25:36 And when I get back to Dearborn, I got to deal with it. You know what I mean? But not in a fantasy, not a fantastical way. No. In a real way. Yeah. You know, and we got to convert a lot of our factories to go electric and we're doing the commercial.
Starting point is 00:25:49 There is no fantasy. There's no story. There's that. We've been around for- So they're going electric. 120 years and we're not going to be around for 125 years if we don't, we're not fluid and we don't shift and change. And yeah, they're diverting a certain amount of their fleet and whatever, whatever.
Starting point is 00:26:08 They're mostly getting forced by the government. But they're doing what they have to do, not fantasizing about what the problem is. By the way, if they can't identify the problem, they're out of business. But the reason I asked that question the way I did is speaking of the fantasy, where is the electricity coming from and how's that going to be green? That's all part. That's fantasy. That's the fantasy.
Starting point is 00:26:33 I know. That's all part of the fantasy. All right. Well, let me tell you about a real life fantasy. Blinds galore. They're having their huge Labor Day sale. Starts Wednesday, August 30th. All custom blinds and shades and shutters up to 50% off.

Starting point is 00:27:55 It's all the idiots who are sort of going, when I say to them, why doesn't this bother you? And they just go, you know, it is what it is, or's the thing or, you know, what are you going to do? What are you going to do is the part that I find incredible. Incredible, because I know exactly what to do. If you talk to people that know how to treat these conditions, they know what to do. What are you going to do? Well, also vote for somebody who's not a compulsive liar, like storyteller, like sort of doesn't have a personality disorder. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:27 I don't know what I was hearing. I was listening to something this morning and somebody was talking about, you know, sort of convenient, inconvenient truths or lies and little lies to the people. I am. I've decided I am against the government or officials lying about anything or withholding information ever under any conditions. I don't care how bad the information is. Just – you don't – everything has to have open air, fresh air, sunshine. Or people get paranoid. People develop stories in their head.
Starting point is 00:28:56 People get – and you can't possibly trust the government if they're constantly deciding you can't handle this, you can't – no, everything. Everything all the time. It's not even you can't handle this you can't no everything everything all the time it's not even you can't handle this it's uh somebody's out and they're poking holes in barbara ferrer's science and we want them pulled off of twitter oh that's not you can't handle the truth yeah that that it gets more nefarious and deeper yeah than that no i was thinking about i was actually responding to apparently the story in Maui around children being destroyed, killed in this fire is going to be bad or is bad. Really? Bad. And they're withholding it.
Starting point is 00:29:34 And I'm like, no, I understand it can be terrible. I understand it's going to be awful. But fucking tell them what you know, assholes. remember four months ago when a deranged transsexual shooter went and shot up a christian school like in tennessee somewhere yeah remember the manifesto yep ever heard it no ever read it no ever been released seems peculiar we always release But now we've got a trans person who goes and shoots up a Christian school. You guys don't like that narrative. You like the Christians going after the trans. But now we've got trans shooting up a Christian school, and we don't get to see that manifesto.
Starting point is 00:30:22 Does that seem peculiar to people? Like, does that just seem a little weird that we always release these things except for not this one? I would argue it's not just weird and don't you find it weird, but you think that's okay? Again, I'm confused.
Starting point is 00:30:39 That's okay with you? Yes. You should be outraged. You should be... Well, the real... Here's the real. Okay. Can i tell you what would solve all this please i've been waiting for this for a long time go ahead solve it
Starting point is 00:30:50 everyone on fox says release the manifesto we're journalists we're adults and we can handle it yeah no one on cnn asks for it right so nobody cares right if the so-called journalists from the la times and new york times cnn and smbc if those or even abc nbc weather cbs if the so-called journalists demanded to see that manifesto then we would get it i was listening to bill maher interview elon musk over the weekend. And Elon Musk said something very interesting. He goes, you know, they've been being educated very differently than you and I and me. He was talking about himself and Bill Maher, where they're indoctrinated. They're not educated to think the way we were. They're educated to toe a line, to espouse something. And so the journalists now are people who have been educated in that system.
Starting point is 00:31:46 He goes, he kept emphasizing, he goes, it's vastly different than what we got. Right. You need to understand that. And that's what the symptom we're looking at here is. Yes. But if you want to know what would solve the problem, it's not Tucker Carlson screaming about the manifesto. It's Cooper. Journalson screaming about the manifesto. It's Cooper.
Starting point is 00:32:06 Journalists, yeah. Yeah, it's people, Anderson Cooper, Don Lemon, whoever. It's people on the other side saying, hey, we're journalists. This is a manifesto, a very big story. You're not going to share that with us? And not only do they not demand to see it, they suppress it. They would argue with the people who wanted it. Right.
Starting point is 00:32:29 That's the opposite. So what will solve this? Would have solved COVID? Solve a lot of this? Is folks, mainstream journalists, start journalisming. Do your job. Again, you have to start doing your job. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:43 Instead of towing a line or tamping things down. What do you call it? Journalisming? Journalisming. Do your job. Again, you have to start doing your job. Yeah. Instead of towing a line or tamping things down. What did you call it? Journalisming? Journalisming. Start it. All right. Go to mcroll.com for all the live shows.
