This is Below Deck's Captain Lee. Listen to my new podcast, Salty, with Captain Lee.
Um, don't you mean our podcast?
Uh, yeah, I guess I do. Anyhow, listen to Salty with Captain Lee, co-hosted by my assistant,
Sam. And we will be talking about the latest pop culture news and all the gossip every week.
So does this mean we have to talk by ourselves, about ourselves,
or can at least have some guests on?
I don't know, I find myself pretty interesting.
But yeah, we can have some guests on.
Some of our reality TV friends and some stars.
Works for me.
Listen to Salty now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.
now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.
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 on.
No choice but to mandate, get it on. Got to get on. A choice. We got a mandate.
Get it on.
Dr. Drew's board-certified physician.
Dick Speck.
Specialist.
Speculum.
Yeah.
What's going on there, Drewski?
I went to my television this morning to program Partridge Family into the recording system.
Good for you.
And then I put the damn thing down and forgot that i was doing that
did something else what is wrong with me i don't know but i have intention i have intent you have
intent yeah that's the good thing yeah i mean i mean to watch the partridge family but instead i
watch the love boat of course yeah well i watched the partridge family so i watch for the both of
us and did you watch love boat also um i it's hard to you know
that that question to me is very open because i've seen most every episode but i can't tell
you if i saw the last one but i probably saw the last one four years ago and not to memorize it intent yes drew intent and to that point uh by the way i want to mention something
for our listeners uh i'm doing a symposium i don't know what they're calling it it's kind of a
event for rfk jr in san jose on october 26th i think whatever that saturday is i mean can you
check that for me it's whatever whatever the... Maybe the 27th.
Yeah, or maybe it's 20 years.
But in any event, please come.
It's a big event, and I'm
moderating this panel with Asim Malhotra
and RFK Jr.
and, you know,
big food expert, and it's just kind of
interesting thing to get involved with that. It scares me
because I'm
being portrayed as a
radical for daring to do so.
Yeah.
28th.
28th, October 28th.
But I'm a moderate, and I'm moderating, and that's good.
And so I want to get involved with everything.
This whole issue.
Moderate and moderate?
Are they connected?
I don't know.
No, I don't.
Doesn't he know?
Well, maybe moderate and moderate.
Maybe we should check.
It's half the word.
Yeah, because when you're a moderator, you're sort of moderating, keeping everybody in the moderate zone.
Well, no.
I guess.
No, moderator and moderate, if they're connected, would suggest that there's a Democrat and there's a Republican, and then you stand in the middle.
Right.
And you're between the two.
Which is what a moderator would do.
Right.
That's what I'm saying.
Yeah.
No, exactly.
And then moderating is just an active version of that.
So I don't know.
Anyway, I'm doing it.
And so that's going to be interesting.
And I don't – it's just such an odd time. It's just such a crazy time to think
the thought that I have to have anxiety about going to moderate a panel. It's just so weird.
I never. Yeah. I, you know, I think the way everyone needs to kind of approach things now
is you have to sign off on your thoughts and your ideas and your notions.
I think you need to sign off on them being reasonable and sort of moral, you know,
because everything will get ascribed to you. Yes. You know, so, you know, when I know where you
stand, well, within yourself. Yes.
Cause you had accused of what I, what I mean is, is when I'm telling parents to make their kids
breakfast and lunch, is it because I hate kids or I want them to go hungry or I hate poor kids
or I want poor kids to go hungry. What is my motivation for that?
You don't understand.
You have no sympathy.
You don't have appreciation.
No, what is my motivation?
Yes, your motivation.
No, mine.
Why would you even?
Listen to me, Drew.
I'm saying within yourself, you have to think.
Yeah.
What is this?
Yeah.
What's motivating me to say it?
When I say, I'd like to help the black kids.
So I'm going to I'm going to go on the side of education and family.
But what am I? Because I'm going to be called a racist or out of touch or something.
Or I I would like school choice. Right. What what is it?
Am I opening a charter school? Am I looking for cash from the government?
Am I opening a charter school?
Am I looking for cash from the government?
Do I have a brother-in-law who's in the charter school business, you know, that I'm trying to help?
You know, like where you say, you know, get vaccinated.
Well, some people say get vaccinated because they want people to get vaccinated.
Others are working for big pharma and want to get people vaccinated.
But what is your motivation for anything?
Everything,
you know,
that that's for me,
whatever,
uh,
Hey,
fat kid,
you got to take it easy on,
on the pancakes.
You have to eat more eggs.
What,
what am I saying? Yeah.
But that,
and then once you sign off on your moral compass,
you know, I would like schools reopened.
Why? I hate brown kids or black kids, or I hate teachers or I hate elderly people. Like,
well, no, I think it's going to harm kids to stay home. Yeah. So then once you sign off on that,
then you can say whatever you want. Now, whatever happens after that is not in your control,
but it's going to happen. And then you have to think to yourself,
well, then how would that affect me? And the answer is, you can't think about that.
The answer is don't think about it.
No, you can't because it then affects the way
you talk yeah i think yes that's true because then you start pre-vetting this stuff and then
you're like well if i say make um breakfast for your kids then they'll go the next episode of
the young turks they'll try to eviscerate me yeah for saying this by twisting the words.
But then I realized, well, then they are going to do that.
I'm not sure what their motivation is.
Let's stop with that.
So do we ever attack them?
Let's say you and I attack in the Uncurrent Turks.
Do we ever go, oh, my God, they are fill in the blank bad people?
Well, I in general don't know what they say.
In general.
If they said something horrible about you, let's say, would you go back, oh, these must be bad people with bad intent?
I don't think we'd ever say that about anybody because it's so primitive to just say that.
No.
I'm assuming they're people that run a business and are motivated in a certain direction because that's how their business, those are their clients.
So they want to satisfy their tribe.
I guess and maybe a certain lack of kind of intellectual honesty where you go, what was this person really saying?
You know, and let's listen to the tape sort of thing. I don't have a ton of ire about it.
I'm not sure why.
But I'm trying to understand the other side.
What's making them – because we don't attack them that I'm aware of.
Maybe we said something. Well, I would – I might – look, when. Well, I do. I mean, in the sense that when you have a politician, I was just talking about this over the weekend when you have and we can we can find it.
I guess Byron can find this.
Maybe Emmy can find it.
But about it must have been about four years ago now.
We took it.
We played on ACS a few times.
It must have been about three or four years ago.
God, I think it was about four years ago.
Katie Porter, who's running for whatever, and she's in California.
And California is bizarre because we don't just have politicians who may be on the other side of the aisle
than you're on.
We have people with patently insane ideas that are like almost that are stupid, insulting,
nonsensical, harmful, and almost as if they're designed to fuck with you
do you like like like they almost feel like aggressive passive aggressive or aggressive
well i just mean it's it's politicians california it almost feels like and i've told you this it
feels like somebody sat me down and said what are your thoughts on fill in the blank?
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
Do you like hash browns or do you like cubed potatoes in the morning?
I'd go, I like hash browns.
Okay.
Then we'll be on cubed.
We'll do cubed potatoes.
And then tea, like a traditional iced tea with lemon or do you like a passion fruit?
I like iced tea. I like regular iced. Okay. That, or do you like a passion fruit? I like iced tea.
I like regular iced tea.
Okay.
That's informative.
We're going passion fruit here.
What do you for it?
You like school choice, or you just want a huge bureaucracy in LA Unified?
I want school choice.
Oh.
Okay.
That's good.
That's good.
What would you like?
More regulation?
Less regulation?
Higher taxes?
Lower?
Well, I'd like lower taxes and less regulation higher taxes lower well i'd like
lower taxes and less right oh okay let's figure that one out all right now covet what would you
like wide open beaches and society or would you like to close the beaches and close the schools
well i'd like an open so oh okay here we go all right all right we got it feels like all trumped
arrangement because whatever he said they did the opposite. We've got it.
Now, it's not Katie Porter with Piers Morgan.
So Katie Porter was almost designed in a lab to upset me.
Yeah.
Right?
Because everything she says is insane.
Now, we have, no, this is her.
It's been visited a few times.
It's like a series of tweets from Bank of America or Washington Mutual Bank or whatever.
And I. I've always cite this because so do do I give Katie Porter shit?
Yes. Do I give the whatever district selectman lady who was angry at Toyota for making catalytic converters super easy to
steal. Do I give her shit? The answer is yes. It's because I think her policies are insane
and harmful. Now, to be fair to the young turds, they think my policies are harmful,
except for I don't set policy.
My policies are harmful, except for I don't set policy.
Again, I want to try to sort of tease these things out as best we can.
But you never go, oh, they will go routinely.
That's a bad person.
Oh, yeah.
Well, that's what they do. whether it's COVID or whether it's make your kids breakfast,
is because they're not, okay, they don't have enough skill,
and I don't think anyone has enough skill to argue against the policy.
They're at a deficit with the policy.
So they go ad hominem.
Yeah.
Well, you have to.
Yeah.
If it's just policy that they disagree with,
then they could stick with the policy. But it's hard when somebody's saying,
I don't think we should blame Toyota for people going underneath people's cars
with sawzalls and cutting up the welded-in catalytic converter.
You'd have a very difficult time arguing against that.
Right.
You know what I mean?
Or if I say you need to reopen schools because kids are being harmed
and they're not in harm's way statistically with COVID, whatever,
you'd have a difficult time from a policy
standpoint arguing with that.
Yes.
So that's when you have to basically do what my friend Ray would do, which is at some point
when he's losing the argument, he just calls you fat.
But that's what you do.
He starts with you do it too.
But you don't do it when you can win an argument.
Right.
Or call you bad or racist or whatever.
Well, it's all bad person stuff.
Right.
It's all bad person stuff.
But then I'm listening to the words you use to describe these people.
You call them insane or dumb.
No.
Use the word insane.
You said Kitty Porter is insane.
Well, they're not dumb.
But insane. Well, they're not dumb. But insane.
No, well, insane in that they're willing to be corrupted to the point where they enact insane policy.
So the policy is insane.
She's not necessarily insane, but you are calling her corrupted or corrupt.
Well, corrupted in that you look around and you go, you know, what's the policy?
Well, the policy is defund the police.
And you should stop and think, well, that's going to be a shit show.
That's going to lead to a lot of young black people being killed.
And then they go, that's where we've landed.
That's who we're backing.
That's what we're doing.
And you go, okay.
I don't think it's going to work, but I got to give a speech in five minutes.
So what do you want me to say?
Defund the police.
Okay.
All right.
And then the homeless problem.
What's the problem with the homeless?
Well, it's because of the wealth gap.
People don't have enough money.
Yeah, but they seem like junkies who are insane.
No, no, no.
We're not going that route.
We're going this route.
And then I go, okay, well, that sounds insane, but I got to give a speech in five minutes.
So what do you want me to say again?
That's who she is.
Right.
Right.
Now, this is funny.
So here's the beauty of this.
And this falls under diet and exercise all right don't
get distracted drew uh this is i don't know four years ago yes i remember this yeah three and a
half years ago right yeah it's so funny i kept going three years ago four years ago three years
ago four years ago it's three and a half years ago um i should start working months in so chase bank is there's a conversation between your
bank account and you yeah and uh you say why is my balance so low and then your bank account says
make coffee at home yeah don't pay five bucks for coffee. Make it at home. Okay. Well, that would put more money in your bank account if you were a person.
Now, look, when you're in my tax bracket, that doesn't matter.
It's the same money.
It just doesn't matter statistically.
But if you're living paycheck to paycheck, then it does impact what you do.
And by the way, Katy Perry, Katy Porter, this is what you would tell your child.
This is what I was raised on.
What you were raised on.
But I mean, if you're a kid that came home from college, you know, you give me 300 bucks a month, my bank account's all gone.
You'd go, well, how often do you eat out?
You're going to Starbucks every morning.
That's six bucks a day times 30 days a year.
I mean, a month.
This kind of conversation, somebody who cared about someone would have with their child.
Right?
All right.
Then the next one is your bank account says, eat the food that's already in the fridge.
You don't need to eat out.
Okay.
Well, that's a way to save some money.
And by the way, it's good
to make your own food.
Then your bank account says
you don't need a cab.
It's only three blocks. So
walk and get some exercise.
And then
the guy
you say, I guess, will never know. And the bank
account says, here. So this is Chase Bank saying save your money.
Yeah.
And don't eat out so much and don't buy Starbucks so much and walk when you can.
And by the way, it has health benefits as well.
And by the way, if you actually did the math on that, you know, the after-tax dollars and stuff,
the pre-tax dollars would be about $60 or so for all that.
Wouldn't you say?
For all that?
Yeah.
Eating out is –
Yeah, or $70 now.
Jesus, you can't go to McDonald's for –
And by the way, going to McDonald's isn't considered eating out.
Right.
I don't think.
It's going out to eat.
But even fast food now is like insane.
Everything's getting really expensive.
So you're right.
Maybe it's $80.
And how much more?
80 bucks?
You can go out for one meal and drop 80 bucks a month.
No problemo.
No problemo.
If you're going out multiple times a month.
I'm just thinking an average day, what you would save if you did all that.
Well, thanks for rounding down.
Oh, average day.
In a day.
Oh, in a day.
Well, yeah.
Look, there's a wide chasm between where you're going out to eat and so on and so forth.
But the point is, is you could save several hundred dollars a month.
And if you were a person that was, you know, making ends meet was tough and you're living
paycheck to paycheck, then these activities would help a lot for your bottom line.
Anyway, this falls somewhere between no duh and no shit.
But Katie Porter took umbrage with it.
Now, first things first, I don't even know why this lands on anyone's radar.
It's just, it's diet and exercise.
I'm saying diet and exercise.
You're saying, are you trying to fat
change but i'm saying eat right and get exercise you'll feel better and you'll lose weight i know
but but we're gonna argue i know that's the weird thing to me all right so katie porter
then responds hey chase try paying your workers more Okay. Chase is not directing this at their employees.
They're directing it at their customers.
The people that have savings there, checking accounts.
So first things first, you fuck the premise up.
Yeah.
Just like the Young Turks fucked the premise up when I was saying,
I'm not doing it to save money.
I want you to make your kid breakfast to make your kid breakfast, to be engaged in your kid's life.
That way it doesn't bother.
I don't care about the money.
And then it's like, Adam is too cheap.
It's like, no, that's not what I said.
All right.
But anyway, she wants Chase employees to get paid more.
I'm guessing if you're gainfully employed by chase
bank you're doing okay and there's mid you know there's everything i guess you start at the
cashier level or something the bank cashier level but they probably have thousands and thousands of
employees and many are making six figures many Many. And many are making multiple six figures.
So this isn't directed at their employees, which you just decided it was.
Why do you think they do an interoffice memo of this?
Katie Porter, they would direct this to their employees.
They're not doing it to their employees.
They're doing it to their customers who save money.
All right. Anyway, try paying your workers more.
That's the ad hominem part.
That doesn't mean anything.
Families aren't spending frivolously.
They're trying
to pay rent.
Well, it'd be easier to pay rent
if you didn't spend $6 a day
at Starbucks and go out
to eat once a week for 90 bucks
and Uber everywhere, wouldn't it?
So what I'm saying is she's nonsensical.
She's obviously a fucking buffoon,
but what I'm saying is she doesn't believe this.
And by the way, if you want to pay your employees more,
the bank has to be performing at a higher level.
And if the savings are up, they may have more money to pay their employees, right?
Well, that's three-dimensional chess playing for these idiots.
All right, do your thing.
All right, we'll take a little break here and hear from our friends at Angie.

Again, that is Angie, A-N-G-I.com.
All right.
So I don't even know where to begin with this statement because there's –
Yeah.
Well, she can't read, for one thing.
They're not talking to their own employees.
Yeah.
And if you would like more money to be set aside for rent, then you can use that money by saving it on other things.
This isn't really them being accused of frivolously spending their money because I go out to eat a lot and I go to Starbucks a lot.
I don't feel like I'm frivolously.
It's just I can afford to do it.
Frivolous is, well, I'm going to take a cruise
and I can't afford the money or whatever.
This is just some basic stuff
that could end up helping your bottom line
at the end of the month when the rent was due.
All right.
What is she doing, Drew?
I will sit back and ask you, what is Representative Katie Porter doing or saying?
She is – look, I don't object to somebody saying, hey, business, pay your employees more.
That's okay.
All right.
Fine.
But she's –
Does she know what they're being paid?
No.
That's the point.
Does she know where they rank in terms of companies? No. That's the point. What's a company she likes? You know what they're being paid? No. That's the point. Does she know where they rank in terms of companies?
That's the point.
What's a company she likes?
Right.
You know what I mean?
I'm sure she likes, I don't know, Whole Foods.
I'd love to know is she getting any kind of weird lobby money from a different company.
That would be interesting.
I'm sure she loves Subaru, the car company.
Are they paying their employees well?
Does she know as she looked into it?
It doesn't matter.
Cars are made with love, Adam.
That's right.
It doesn't matter.
It feels good.
That's right.
And that's the feeling thing.
She's playing to a crowd.
She's playing to a feeling.
She's playing to a, you know, it's just the lowest level.
I didn't want to use the word argument, rhetoric.
It's sophistry.
It's sophistry.
And sophistry, you know sophistry and sophistry.
You know what that is?
No, it's something that the Greeks sort of pointed out. And Socrates himself was very concerned about, which is essentially using rhetorical instruments to make your point that have no that are not good arguments.
They just don't care.
They're just making their point.
However, they have to make the point.
You appeal to people's emotions, appeal to people's weaknesses,
whatever it is.
You get empowered by being a sophist.
Do you know what a sophist is?
Sophist?
Yeah.
It's got to be some sort of a grommet or something.
Well, wait a minute.
Did you guys look up?
We did 10 minutes at the top between the connection between moderate and moderator.
Did anyone follow up on that?
And if you did, please have it represented on my screen.
Please.
Now, sophistry and soffit.
I wonder if they even spelled the same.
Probably not.
Yeah.
We'll look that one up next
all right so she's just saying something that doesn't mean anything yeah but here's what i'm
saying um this is potentially harmful to the people who do need this message do don't you agree
yeah i do i think because it keeps them not thinking things through properly right it keeps
them engaged in this sort of mass again it's the mass action the feeling of a crowd yes chase bird
let's get them we need their money this this and it all kind of weirdly plays to this very strange brainwashing around oppressed and oppressor kind of ultimately.
And that is a very, very, very dangerous paradigm to be so deeply attached to.
Yeah.
Elizabeth Warren also weighed in on this chase debacle as a memory, if memory serves,
just like what side of this could she possibly come down on?
I mean,
that's my,
but my whole thing is,
well,
she's,
you seem insane when you do this stuff.
Uh,
moderators and arbitrator or mediator.
I'm not sure how wife works.
I,
okay. The question was posed.
Where does the word come from?
Is it connected?
I know what a moderator is,
and I know what a moderate is.
We're not asking what the word means.
We're asking,
is there a correlation between the two words?
In the dictionary,
they'll give you the history of the words.
I've never asked someone.
Where it comes from in old English and what it meant back in the day.
Wouldn't moderator be from moderate?
Oh, don't.
In order to moderate something and not have it to be excessive and keep it calm.
That's what we are assuming.
You guys have a computer.
I'm going to do it here.
And so now you can look up those origins.
All right. Let me tell you about our
friend Jordan Harbinger. You're about to hear a preview of the Jordan Harbinger show with a
retired chef that somehow infiltrated the illicit North Korean arms trade. When people ask me,
how is it to go to North Korea? Well, it's quite difficult to describe because you know,
you are being followed. And what do do I say and what do I do?
How do I react to things?
I'm going to the U.S. to meet up with the CIA again.
One of the most important things it taught me was to be a perfect mole is that you have to be 95% yourself and then 5% mole.
The last 5% is the one who observes and I was really good to networking with people.
Without people actually knowing I was networking with them, everything was recorded.
So I just literally took the pants down on the whole regime, exposing their weapons program.
For more on how Ulrich the Mole, a Danish chef and family man, wound up working undercover in North Korea to expose its illicit arms trade,
check out episode 527 of The Jordan Harbinger Show.
All right.
Drew's going to do it himself.
Drew, do you know that fully 86% of my requests confuse people?
Here we go.
I do know that because I watch it in real time.
What is that?
What is it?
It's got to be you because it's...
It has to be me.
But it feels basic to me.
It's the only locus of control you have.
But here's what I'm saying.
If I said give me a definition of moderate and moderator, would that then yield a different result?
So here we go.
Maybe.
It's from Latin moderatus to mitigate, equivalent to modera, the stem verb meaning modest.
Okay, so it comes from modesty.
It's another word like that, right?
Oh, interesting.
But to mitigate.
So moderate is to mitigate.
Let's see if moderator shows up on here.
Oh, to act as moderator.
So let's look at moderator.
Middle English from equivalent to control.
Control.
So they're not the same.
But it has almost exactly the same root.
It's very, so it's kind of controlled.
It's interesting, right?
Because I do feel a little controlled when I'm in the middle.
Well, you are in control, yeah.
Oh, I like this.
Oh, look like this.
Oh, look at you.
Modest.
Moderate.
No moderator, though, right?
All right.
But moderator is the act of moderating, being moderator.
So it's connected, but it's not directly connected.
So we're on to something.
Now we're on to sophist-gate.
Sophist. Okay, let's connected. So we're onto something. Now we're onto sophuscate. Sophist.
Okay, let's see.
Sophist and sophette.
I'm guessing sophette is with an F.
Sophist.
Yeah, I guess.
You know, the thing about construction is no one ever wrote anything down or read anything.
It's all like old tribesmen who pass along tales of yore.
You know what I mean?
But they didn't know how to spell anything because there's no book.
Oh boy.
Oh, soffit.
Here we go.
Yeah.
S O F F.
Under side of an architectural feature.
There we are.
Yeah.
You know how people would use soffit?
If you wanted to run a duct in your house, you know,
and you don't want to just look at the duct for the fan, you know,
on the stove or whatever, then they would box it out.
You'll see that in kitchens where the ceiling drops down.
There's a vent in there.
It's soft.
It's underside of an architectural feature, beam, arch, ceiling, vault, or cornice.
All right. And

No, don't do it.
So, yeah.
So, I'm thinking a lot about sort of brainwashing these days.
A lot.
I guess we'll talk about it next show. But it's just on my mind because I just – I think that's – we're into – well, you know what made me think about
it was that All In podcast with the three entrepreneurs.
I've heard of it.
Shamash and David Sachs.
And they the other day, like two days ago, were saying, I think I've been brainwashed.
I thought Trump – I thought – what's his son-in-law's name that worked out the deal in the Middle East?
Oh, OK.
I'll think of it.
Anyway, he's been making the rounds lately and people are like, oh, my God.
That guy's brilliant and competent and knows what he's talking about.
And how could we have been led to believe this guy was some sort of Yahoo idiot?
And then they – and by the way, I'm missing sort of Trump's policies are kind of good to me now.
I feel like I've been – like somebody led me to – that you were the three of the smartest people on the earth and you were brainwashed by the media.
Is it Kushner?
Jared Kushner.
Yes.
Thank you.
But I immediately thought about something that happened to me.
I went to a symposium at the White House like when Trump was early in his – it was around the opioid crisis.
And it was a really interesting symposium with cabinet-level people there and I got to know Carson, Ben Carson that way.
And I just really – I just found him very impressive and appealing.
And I was like, oh my god, this is a great day.
What an interesting – they're going to get at this thing.
At the very end, unexpectedly, Trump walks in and just bullshits a little bit
and has somebody tell a story.
A guy starts crying up there.
It was kind of interesting.
He sort of knew what buttons to push.
And at the end, he goes, I don't know.
We got to do something.
In some countries, they make people pay the ultimate price for dealing drugs.
I don't think we're going to do that, but I don't know.
Maybe we got to think of everything.
Next day, everything that happened at that symposium was completely left out of the press.
Only thing, Trump thinks we should kill drug dealers.
And I thought, oh, I can never believe anything that comes out of this White House.
From the press.
Nothing.
No.
All right.
I'll be in Spokane.
