Starting point is 00:03:12 Boca Raton, I love I love some weather. Oh Yeah, it's such a it's such a nice change. What did what'd you do with that Ben Shapiro out there? His Sunday show it'll be on it'll be on Sunday just you know an hour conversation with him and III as I told you a couple days ago and then nothing makes me happier They're just talking to a smart person whether I agree with them or disagree with them just talking to a smart person makes me happy yeah, and he did so and we talked about that and There there was a time and I'm not gonna Be repetitive about or I'm gonna try not to but
Starting point is 00:03:55 Overarching politics aside and everything aside It's it was a big deal Smart people, you know when I was a kid That's why you went to college right smart people lecture you well not even Wasn't even when I was a kid, but I could remember You know my grandmother had a friend he's an architect You know what I mean? That's a big deal. You
Starting point is 00:04:25 know, he's an architect. You know, and in my mind, he engineered the Sistine Chapel, but the reality is he's probably built Denny's and like Arcadia or something like that. Right, right. But he's an architect. You know what I mean? And that guy with somebody else was a professor at UCLA, these were big and lofty, God forbid someone be a lawyer or a doctor, these are big deals. And by the way, you listen to them, you know what I mean? Like my friend's a lawyer,
Starting point is 00:05:00 I can get him to talk to you on the phone, you can ask him a question, you know? I mean, that was a big deal. I can get him to talk to you on the phone. You can ask him a question, you know No, hang on a second. What aside from the sort of general decay in leadership and hierarchy and things Is that the internet that's really done that you know the fact that you can look it up yourself You can listen to a lecture. It makes you feel like you know something more there as much as the smart guy well like some some of it is exposure. Like I don't want to argue against myself, but I just went through family law and a very long divorce and almost everyone I spoke to was a dope. And they were lawyers.
Starting point is 00:05:46 So did you get fleeced by dopes? Yes, yes. But they were dopey. To the tune of what, Adam? Well, they just didn't, I mean... 1920s man here is talking to... We had an arbitrator named Gretchen, who was like former judge or whatever. She was a crackpot. She was a dope.
Starting point is 00:06:04 She didn't know what the fuck she was talking about most of the time No, she was an idiot is what I'm saying I would I would what he's I as he's like to bring them now I realized that people that go into family law are Usually the dumb lawyers who can't do criminal law. Let's say or corporate law or whatever it is But yeah, most of the people, and this is including judges and lawyers and everyone else, they're kind of dunces.
Starting point is 00:06:31 They didn't have good ideas. Well, their ideas weren't that good. I mean, I had to come up with the ideas. The point is, it's a two-way street. One is we don't have reverence for those people on the other hand they earned a lot of it by just being dopes. Well I had a woman who ran the you know LA she was a judge in the LA city whatever family law for a million years and she was a fucking idiot She was a dumb person. I don't she was a kooky person who was Full of stupid ideas. Oh, I'll put it to you that way and and nothing
Starting point is 00:07:12 It was just a big waste of money, but yes, I know didn't you must have found that with family law? It didn't doesn't attract the best in the brightest. I did that documentary about divorce ink, uh, about how weirdly, uh, in, in, what's the word I'm looking for where it's everyone's. It's Sesshawess. Yeah. So maybe it's stupid just to bill you, but it's still stupid. It's stupid in the sense that it, you know, motive, people are motivated to rise to the level of the competition,
Starting point is 00:07:47 as you well know, and to the level of the task at hand. And if there's no, nobody's asking for anything from anybody, you just ride it out and you become a dope. Yeah, so that's what family laws are. My phone here, my weather app on my phone. It's so specific It's like expect rain in three minutes Wow I I've never seen that let's see if they're accurate All right, I'll keep my on the clock minute. All right, so then they say expect expect
Starting point is 00:08:19 thunderstorms People all right Drew just fucking look at your phone and tell us well, I'm watching this thing come at me So that's all right. Go ahead. All right So it's a two-way street because now you meet a lot of people who are professionals and turns out they don't know anything or the dopey So that's Maybe we had them on a pedestal. We did not know it. We didn't know in the past Yeah, I'm sure if I would have gotten to know one of my My dad didn't know anyone and my mom didn't know anyone my grandparents
Starting point is 00:08:53 I've had a sat down and talked to one of their attorney friends for more than 20 minutes I would have ascertained that there were dopes too. Yeah. All right, so there's a lot of that but there's also the bigger problem, which is when Ben Shapiro speaks or and or when Mark Garaga speaks and or when Elon Musk speaks, I would tend to listen because I would think that there were bright people that may have insights to things. And I would kind of, you know, we can't have nuclear power because women don't like nuclear power. Not because every scientist I've interviewed
Starting point is 00:09:38 says that it's a great idea and it's much better than what we're doing now. Their opinion is out the window because a majority, and it's a actually by vote or by group, you know, there's 70% of, yeah, it's something like 22% of men are against nuclear power and 70% of women are against it.
Starting point is 00:10:04 You know what I mean? So thus no nuclear power for us. That's weird. But these are dopes who heard the term, they heard Jane Fonda say no nukes and now they don't want it because they're dopes. But the point is, they're dopes, but we don't have nuclear power plants.
Starting point is 00:10:23 Right. You know what I mean? Because of- We're gonna have electric vehicles. Because of that. That sounds good. Yeah, with no electric grid. They're dopes, but we don't have nuclear power plants. Right. You know what I mean? Because of- We're gonna have electric vehicles. Because of that. That sounds good. Yeah, with no electric grid.
Starting point is 00:10:29 No electricity. Right, so this is, in the past, there were a lot of dopey people who didn't know they were dopey, but it didn't really affect us that much. Yeah. Now it's getting to a critical mass where it does affect us
Starting point is 00:10:47 Yeah, super shitty policy that oftentimes Gets people killed like it's dangerous. You know what I mean? The bad forest management bad grid system, you know Yes, the aforementioned last episode Alan Hamlin Suzanne Summers house isn't there because we didn't manage the forest correctly. And who knows if it was four in the morning and they were sleeping in their bed, maybe they wouldn't be here, you know, like we're getting to the point where, you know, defund the police isn't in a bubble, somebody's getting shot in the inner city in Chicago, because there's no cop presence there. You know what I mean? Like these Dopey bad. We don't have nuclear power because dopes don't want it. Well, and the dopes never pay the price That's no they just live look They here's what the dopes get and here's what we get And here's what we get. Drew, what's going on with your phone? No, I was checking my watch and looking at the rain.
Starting point is 00:11:50 It was one minute off. All right, listen to me. Here's what the dopes get and here's what we get. Are you ready? Yeah. We both get no nuclear power. Yes. We get the psychological burden of knowing how much cleaner and better and cheaper and
Starting point is 00:12:10 abundant it could be. They get a victory knowing that they won and that they got their way and that they don't have to deal with some the danger of something that they don't know isn't dangerous. So they win, they win. There's another layer. Yes. There's another layer and I saw it happen in San Onofre, right? So those of you that are from Southern California,
Starting point is 00:12:32 there's a nuclear power plant down there on the ocean. A bunch of Adam's mom's friends got together and demonstrated and demonstrated. I remember seeing them interviewed on TV about their shutting down San On Roque for this this great triumph Fast forward a year Their electric bill went up three times. All right, same women. Hold on one One up three times or three fold insane so three fold three like a three folding
Starting point is 00:13:02 There's a nice figure. That's's what you want true, but sometimes What is that? What's wrong with three times going up three times means it could have been raised in nickel on three separate occasions three occasions Okay, okay. I understand that Time you say it one up times three it tripled. It's funny If you say three times it could be raised three times the nickel at times But if you say times three, yeah, you flip it. Yeah, so it tripled. It's funny, if you say three times, it could be raised three times a nickel a time. But if you say times three, you flip it. Yeah, so it tripled.
Starting point is 00:13:30 Tripled and they were like, what's up with these electric companies? They're gouging us. How do they, what's going on? And confusion is what you get. Confusion, no understanding that this is, we told you this what will happen to predict. It's obvious what's going on here. No, no, no, this is the told you this what will happen to predict it's obvious what's going
Starting point is 00:13:45 on here no no no this this is the part that bothers me of people are confronted with consequence in reality and then deny it that's that's obviously to me right so dopes dopes with votes and dopes in charge dopes with votes that's so funny that's that's so funny. That's kind of where we're at, right? Dopes with votes. We are there. And the ultimate, like California's the ultimate dopes with votes state. So we get all the bad stuff because it dopes with votes.
Starting point is 00:14:21 Florida has less dopes and thus they have less votes. So we don't get whatever that policy that dopes want. Well, at least the dopes here don't have dopey ideas. You know what I mean? I don't know what that is, but they seem a lot better here. But speaking of here, I have a question for you. Explain this to me. This may be super naive, but I just always wondered about this. And I just saw one of these boats go by and it made me think you would probably have the answer, which is the recent fascination with the sort of
Starting point is 00:14:53 Chris craft teak would, I think they're dual engine motorboats that every rich person now drives in. And I noticed it when I saw, um, uh, oh shit, what was the TV show about the, uh, rich people, the, uh, succession succession. Thank you. Wow. Good call. Well done, Emmy. And, um, and, and I, and I had another friend that had one, and I just saw one go by, and we're at this hotel that has pictures of them
Starting point is 00:15:29 on the wall, vintage pictures from back in the like the 60s when they were actually just motorboats. Why have they made a comeback? Is it like vintage cars and that preoccupation with the fine craftsmanship of the wood? Or what is going on there? And none of the, fine craftsmanship of the wood or what is going on there? And none of the, I'm sure none of the engine, none of the motors are actually the same, probably totally separate, you know, sort of combustion system. Do you
Starting point is 00:15:56 have an answer for me, O Crystal Brain? Yes. Combustion system. You know what I'm talking about. I like that the show's devolved into Drew just staring out of his window and like what's up with seagulls you ever thought about that You just look man flip-flops I gotta tell you man Flip flops with that. What's up? What's up with boogie boards? Flip flops. What's up with that? What's up? What's up with boogie boards?
Starting point is 00:16:25 What's up? We should have better technology in those things that's between your toes. The flip flops. The flip flops, can't do better than that. Okay, so that Chris crap thing you're saying from the 60s, that's more from the 30s. Oh, is it that long ago?
Starting point is 00:16:43 Well, I'm looking at pictures in this hotel that looks like it's sort of 60s-esque. Well, the pictures from the 60s, but the boats from the 30s. Okay, okay. I mean, those boats go back. I think they call them cigarette boats. They do call them cigarette boats.
Starting point is 00:16:59 And I think it's because they used to run cigarettes. They needed a fast boat. I don't know, because there was some yeah I'm sure the Kennedys were involved at some point you know what I mean back in 1929 you know but my take is and you know my dad owned several and we you know, the summer months at Tahoe and my dad, I could still hear, still smell. That's restored them in your garage. Oh yeah, my dad, Papa and I would restore these things. Very, very particular. So let me ask this, is it the same boats or are these sort of reproductions or is it both? I think that there's some, okay, if you take the world of motorcycles,
Starting point is 00:17:50 you will see that Triumph, who had their Bonneville or their whatever they had, that was a very popular model from 1967, kind of does a rebooted version of that now, because they kind of went, well, what do people like about us? Well, they like the commando from 1967 or the Bonneville from 1967 you know they go well then maybe if we're making motorcycles, we shouldn't be making something looks like a Honda Maybe we should be making one that's kind of true to our heritage and it'll have you know, the modern-day accoutrements
Starting point is 00:18:27 But it's gonna have a feel like the old school, you know So I think there's that but I do think a lot of those boats are the actual boats from back in the day as well and I think the reason they're popular is sometimes things are popular just because they're popular. I mean, rich people do that. They just get the same. That's what fashion is. They just start doing stuff, you know. Remember 10 minutes ago, they were putting sun-dried tomatoes on every pizza and on every salad. It's like, everyone, 1989, everyone had to sat there and ate sun dried tomato. You order a pizza, you put sun dried tomatoes on it. Now, I don't know a human being that's ordered a pizza
Starting point is 00:19:13 that came with sun dried tomatoes in the last 25 years. I haven't seen a sun dried tomato in 15 years. Haven't seen one. 15, 20. And in 1989, you were getting sun-dried tomatoes on your pizza and ordering like a pink blush wine. You know, it wasn't white, it wasn't red, it was rosé, kind of, it was a blush or pink or whatever.
Starting point is 00:19:39 That's all everyone drank. They drank that, the pizza with the sun-dried tomatoes. I nobody does that anymore Now why why I don't know why they start doing it in the first place Somebody started doing it and somebody did it, you know, and next thing, you know We got the song man eater and we have to keep hearing it over and over again because some dumb shit played it And then someone I like that. I want to eat something right Cardi B. I want sun-d dried tomatoes on my pizza. I want to drink a nice pink blush and I want my man eater playing in the background. And it's like, but you do understand that sausage and onion is a thousand times better on a pizza.
Starting point is 00:20:17 We're doing sun dried tomatoes because that's what somebody did. Do you know what I'm saying? Oh, yes, I do. Sun-dried tomatoes. It's like saying I like raisins on my pizza. It really is. It really is. A sun-dried tomato is just that. It's a tomato that's been dried. Dried apricots. Is it so different than that? No.
Starting point is 00:20:44 Okay, what are we doing is my question. Is it so different than that? No. Okay, what are we doing is my question. Somebody did this. I do ask why people like music they like. It's that same phenomena. We get into weird trends. They don't like it though. It's just other people are doing it.
Starting point is 00:20:58 You give me hope for the future when you shine a light on this. It means we can get better rich guys got that and that's what rich guys get they do it again they're doing it now they're doing well that's what I'm saying it's a it's a thing those boats are from the 20s and 30s though I didn't realize that. But I will say this. Sun-dried tomatoes on pizza will never come back. Never. But. It's not good. But. Not good. The drink the Manhattan has come back. Yeah. Why? The drink the Manhattan has come back. Yeah. Why?
Starting point is 00:21:45 It's good. It's good, right. And so those boats were good. Yeah. And they, when you, architecture from this era or that era, you know what I'm saying? That's how it works.
Starting point is 00:21:58 Really bad 70s, 80s architecture is not going to come back. Well, riddle me this, why did so many bad ideas from the 60s and 70s, 80s architecture is not going to come back. Well riddle me this, why did so many bad ideas from the 60s and 70s come back? That's the astonishment to me of our present moment. Shit I thought would never come back. The bad ideas that came back is basically the flame, the keepers of the flame for the bad ideas, who are really just lazy people, basically. They're lazy and they're narcissistic and they don't have a lot of self-awareness. The old guard, like my mom, sloughed off.
Starting point is 00:22:46 But replacements come. And they're not so different because they're human beings with the same brain function, and they think, well, what would I like? Well, I would like to get stuff. And what would I not wanna do? Work real hard. And then, well, what happens when I don't have stuff?
Starting point is 00:23:07 Well, I should blame other people for not giving me enough stuff. And the system, whatever. And then, of course, the politicians who aid and abet them show up. You know what I mean? It's like this RV encampment of now like 44 RVs that are parked down PCH. Well now there's taco trucks pulling up in the morning. The same trucks that used to pull up to my job sites are now pulling up to this way because they will come. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:23:44 You have enough dopey people who want free shit, the politicians will show up and service them. We need universal income. We need to cancel student debt. We need housing vouchers for the poor. You know what I mean? Like, oh, good. Yeah, I'll vote for your ass. I want free shit. Right. So the human, the reason we have to revisit ideas that didn't work over and over again
Starting point is 00:24:16 is because we have a new crop of self-entitled lazy people who would like to capitalize on this and not wrestle with their own inadequacies as a human being. I also would argue there's another human psychological phenomenon in these same folks that is on a deeper level, which we've talked about before, but I'm just going to point it out again, which is the surface is I'm lazy and I don't want to work and I want to help. I want to help. I care. No, hold on. Hold on. The surface is an I'm lazy and I don't want to work.
Starting point is 00:24:52 No, no, no, no, no. I'm sorry. The surface is I care. You just took those two things and put them together. You're right. I did. On one level, it is I'm lazy and I don't want to work. But an ancillary to that on the surface is I care I care so much and it's a defense it's first of all a way of hiding and shrouding I don't want to work and it's a deeper way of hiding their internal rage that they actually have their ass and it anybody who is competitive It's unclear whether they don't want to work, which is true, and never underestimate lethargy. I mean, I was talking to Mike August on the ride in, he was talking
Starting point is 00:25:37 about Sonny going to junior college, and I was like, that kid didn't go to high school. And I was like, that kid didn't go to high school. They had so many days off. So many days off. I don't really think he went to high school. He wasn't there half the time he was supposed to be there. And it's not just COVID, which of course was every one of the teachers unyielding desire to stay home, because these same fucking idiots were
Starting point is 00:26:05 going to Trader Joe's in the afternoon in their fucking sweatpants and slippers right I mean you weren't scared of crowds half of them were going to see concerts and shit on the weekend I mean give me a fucking break but here's the point it wasn't just COVID it was that every single week you know whenever they had they'd have two weeks off for Christmas, they wouldn't go back on Monday, they'd go back on Tuesday. There was a bunch of fucking teacher free days that were like Fridays. There were tons of like, oh, it's gay pride day,
Starting point is 00:26:36 it's half day, or it's Martin Luther King week, you know, like we don't have to go. I couldn't, my jaw would drop at all the times it would explain to me they didn't have to go back to school, there wasn't school. Well, of course, it's a bunch of teachers who don't feel like fucking, listen to me. FedEx drivers and guys who worked at Home Depot
Starting point is 00:27:01 and the guys who worked in the kitchen at Shakey's would do the exact same thing if you let them If you said to the guy who works the kitchen at Shakey's look you don't have to come in and we can still get you paid They would do it. Of course they would do it Why wouldn't they do it the guy drives FedEx trucks? Everyone would do it including teachers, but teachers can do it. And they have their politicians who enable them to do it. And they're stooges like Rochelle Walensky at the CDC, and they're stooges like Joe Biden, and they're stooges like Gavin News, who essentially let them do what it is they want to do which is not work
Starting point is 00:27:46 But here's the caveat. I'd like to get paid now my Well, how else can you explain? Them fighting and clawing to stay home while everyone else went to work Even though they were considered essential workers and heroes Okay They don't want to work. Guess what join the fucking club? even though they were considered essential workers and heroes. Okay. They don't wanna work. Guess what?
Starting point is 00:28:07 Join the fucking club. You know what I mean? Like I, I on a third, last Thursday, I came here and I left Malibu at 9.30 in the morning and I came here and I did, you know, hours, several hours worth of work. And then when I was done with work,
Starting point is 00:28:26 I went to Burbank Airport and then I went to Vegas and then I did an early show and a late show at Kimmel's Club and I did not eat dinner. I did not have a lunch break. I did not do anything. I just walked back into my hotel room at 11.45 that night and was getting picked up at 7.45 to go back to the airport Friday the following morning.
Starting point is 00:28:50 I'm not a hero, but if someone said, would you rather just kinda go back to Malibu and don't worry, you'll get paid on a Thursday? I would say yes. I would enjoy that more than a Southwest flight to Vegas and then a Southwest flight back early in the morning. Yes, I would take that. So I'm not a hero, I just don't have that option.
Starting point is 00:29:14 When you give people that option, they take that option. Now my mom probably and a lot of these people, there is an underlying thing which is they don't, they fear that they couldn't compete if they tried. So they don't try because they feel like they would not be able to cut it and then they would have to take a look in the mirror and really examine themselves. Much easier to hang back and talk about the corrupt
Starting point is 00:29:46 system and the, you know, rich whitey not paying his fair share. And I feel like the fragility, they're very fragile oftentimes, and they're so angry that if things didn't go the way they wanted, God knows what kind of rage would be unleashed. Yeah, they're so angry that if things didn't go the way they wanted God knows what kind of rage would be unleashed Yeah, they're fragile and they're angry and and At the end of the day, I don't think they feel like they could cut it Hmm, like you know what got me into comedy Even though it's a very low percentage job, is I felt like I could cut it.
Starting point is 00:30:30 Now, I didn't feel like I was going to get a chance to cut it, but I felt like I could cut it. Like I sort of listened to talk radio, morning radio, comedy in general, comedy teams, and I would go, oh, I could do better than that. I know I can do better than that. So I endeavored to do a thing that was low percentage because I had the confidence.
Starting point is 00:30:54 I did not have that in basketball, but if I did, I would have tried basketball. It does raise an interesting question about self-assessment. I mean, how do you know you can cut it? Because a lot of people delude themselves or don't realize what it's going to take or... You can't delude yourself when you're a Corolla. That's true.
Starting point is 00:31:15 You grew up in a vacuum of praise and a lot of, well, why should someone want to listen to you? You know what I mean? So you have to get past that, you know? So if you can legitimately think you're capable of doing something and be raised how I was raised, that means you're the real deal. I mean, that means you have ability. Well, what if you've been raised with a certain amount of positive input? Well that's a problem. That's the problem. The self-esteem movement is a problem because you know the young black woman who's named Nishika which means queen of the universe, she's going to get a job at McDonald's, work in the fry bin? The queen of the universe? Do you know
Starting point is 00:32:07 what I'm saying? Yeah. So no, we're not helping these people when we when we do this. I got the opposite. So I, I was, I was able to assess my talent. I said, I said, if I was worth a buck, I sess myself at 61 cents. Right. That's how I, that's how I did it. I was, I was in a similar vein and I think people think we're like, I was talking to somebody the other day about this and he literally sort of accused me of like, he couldn't believe it or we're lying or we're overstating it, but I know exactly what you're talking about. That's how we feel. That's how we felt. That's how we were raised. No self-esteem. I successfully made it through my entire family career
Starting point is 00:33:00 without any human being in my family saying, you're funny or, man, you should write that down. That's a good one. Literally, I have this distinct thought I've never shared. I've never shared this with you, Drew. A family bashing story that I've never, I've never shared. Never.
Starting point is 00:33:21 How did you miss the opportunity for it? Never shared this one. I've been thinking about it. For some reason, I've been thinking about for some reason I've been thinking about it a lot When I was like 21 or 22, I was sitting in my apartment in North Hollywood With my you know when I have my three roommates and I'm sitting at this Bankette table booth we'd stole with my broken knee, you know that story and I built
Starting point is 00:33:43 Yeah, I built the actual table for it, laminate for Micah. And I was just sitting there and I thought, I wanna write a poem. And I've never written a poem before and I've never written a poem since. I write ideas and jokes and stuff, but they're sketches, but they're not really that far off a poem if you think about it.
Starting point is 00:34:05 I have an idea, I think it's an important idea, I'm going to put it down on paper, and I wrote it. I don't remember even what it was, the theme of it is like, do we need another, you know, we have, I don't know, we have 3,500 nuclear bombs. Do we need 3,600 nuclear bombs? Do we need another whatever this thing is that we already have so much of? We need another thing. I think that was the theme of this.
Starting point is 00:34:37 So I wrote this poem. I've never written a poem. I never thought about writing a poem. And maybe a day or two later my dad came by, we were going to go out and have lunch or something, and I said, I'd like to share this poem with you, you know. And when I was done sharing it with him, he just kind of went, okay, let's eat, and we just left. He just didn't say anything.
Starting point is 00:35:08 And I remember thinking, all right, well, I'm never writing another poem. And by the way, I never have. But I remember, I was thinking about it now, like writing a poem, it's sort of vulnerable, you know what I mean? Makes you, you're sort of putting yourself out there and he just kind of he didn't say it sucked or anything he just kind of looked at me and grunted and then said
Starting point is 00:35:30 like well you know we should go to 4 and 20 and get a sandwich and and we just walked out and he never saw it and I thought but that's no more he couldn't tolerate that I don't know about tolerate he did he didn't know to go oh hey yeah there you go boy put it up on the refrigerator so your roommates gonna enjoy he just he just sort of looked and just sort of looked at me he didn't have any response that sounds like him right and then we just ate a sandwich it we never talked about again and I never wrote another poem because I was like
Starting point is 00:36:03 well I guess that wasn't very effective you You know, it's such a nice guy. I know it's a weird. It's weird thing when you're nice Yeah, but I do it a lot. I'll have I I'll show a documentary to somebody and when they're done watching the documentary, they'll just kind of look at you and go over there There you go. And then we'll just leave and they'll just like they don't go wow that was really good you should be happy with yourself or something they just go that's my dad would do it is the weirdest hey do you not care where people react like that you barely notice it how's family reacted? You talk to Dennis Prager, son? We made a movie together, dad. Okay, where do you wanna eat?
Starting point is 00:36:51 It's weird, it's such a weird disconnect for all humans. And the reason it's weird is it is the opposite of family. It's the opposite. Yes. That's the interesting part. It's nice to know that we experienced something opposite. Yes. That's the interesting part. It's nice to know that we experienced something extraordinary. Yes.
