Starting point is 00:01:22 What's going on? We're going to hear about your communist grandma in just a second, but I get some other stuff really quickly before we launch into another piece of the Corolla history. A really interesting article came out in Nature Aging I just read this morning about the effect of serious infectious illness on adults and their brain. And I bring this up because I had a really civil conversation with Peter Hotez. I know how you feel about him, but I mean, I had a reasonable conversation. I don't disagree with him on everything.
Starting point is 00:02:08 And he seemed like his- Speaking of brain, do you think Peter Hotez is a household name? I do, but you're right, I should- No, he's not a household name. I would think he'd be a household name. Byron, who's Peter Hotez? Some douchebag. Okay, so what the fuck's Drew talking about?
Starting point is 00:02:23 We don't know. Drew, just learn that well I will tell you I will do so but but I but the reason I think I made that error is We've played tapes of him on this show. We have You're right they have they're not listening to every show heard of the Civil War in this fucking country much access or allies Civil War in this fucking country much access or allies access or allies just do your job as a host where you go? Peter Hotez the outspoken vaccine Guy on CNN with a bowtie bowtie guy with a mustache for outspoken vaccine guy who changed his Tune 35 times before we got to the present moment But he doesn't seem to remember that but I had a really reasonable conversation with him on my streaming show and at the end I was... When? Because
Starting point is 00:03:08 you've talked to him in the past. This is I'd say three years ago. Oh. It was just it was on the... But Drew, say three years ago I had a conversation with the doctor from CNN. It's not recent. I talked to him on my show. Well... It feels recent. Okay. It's like not three years. It actually, it's sort of irrelevant the timing of it because what was in contention was he was like, hold on one second. Sorry for this whole thing. Yeah, I'm doing to you. Yeah, it's a good exercise for me. Three years ago, till now,. Yeah much has changed in the landscape of vaccines Yes saying something three years ago, which could have sounded reasonable now might sound a little more radical Knowing what we know three years. I completely agree and we don't know Peter Hotez his name
Starting point is 00:03:58 Yeah, my name so just set the whole table. Okay, please three years ago We're not gonna be talking about vaccines even though he's the vaccine guy. Okay? What I'm going to be talking about is the fact that he's a pediatrician. And pediatricians set most of the vaccine policy in most of the states, because guess what? They're the ones thinking about vaccine therapies for kids. And so there are a lot of the researchers, and not exclusively so, but... Because this occurred
Starting point is 00:04:25 to me because I saw him on a recent interview where he was saying, these people are not even infectious disease doctors. Why should they be talking about it? I thought, oh dude, you're not an adult medicine doctor. And I started, and then I came upon this article this morning, which, let me go back to my interview with him before I tell you it was in the content of that article, when he and I ended our conversation, I was like, we're in the age of Omicron, it was just when Omicron was
Starting point is 00:04:52 really getting going, I mean, what are you worried about? Because we're not, people aren't dying around here, he goes, yeah, but their brains are shrinking! Do you want your brain to shrink? And I, it was the very end of the interview, and I thought to myself, as I left the interview and I thought to myself as I left the interview, unfortunately it wasn't still sitting in front of me, I thought, wait a minute, that happens all the time with adults. Every time they get any serious illness, the brain shrinks. Lo and behold, article this morning documenting that just about any serious infection not only causes brain shrinkage, but they were able to isolate certain proteins
Starting point is 00:05:25 associated with that and that most of the time it remits, it gets better. People don't necessarily get dementia, the brain heals, and this was the other thing that caught my attention, predominant areas for this shrinkage is the temporal lobes of the brain, which is where language and music resides. And if you remember, when I had long COVID, I had this very distinct feeling that if I worked on music or language, it would help heal my long COVID. And it did. I actually went hard at language, because we were going to Greece in a few couple of months, and it cleared my long COVID in a couple of weeks, and this is evidence of how that works. So it's just
Starting point is 00:06:09 an interesting thing to call back because of how things are progressing. The fact that these people were in a fucking panic were pediatricians who didn't understand adult medicine, and now we have some of the documentation about that this happens, how it happens, what you could do about it, and that it's not unique to COVID and that maybe taking unnecessary risk with vaccine may not be worth it if all you're worried about is the brain shrinkage phenomenon. So there you go. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:39 Long story. That's the one to bring that up. By the way though, I am seeing tons of cardiac shit in young males, including somebody who needs a heart transplant I just found out yesterday after being made fun of by the same person for questioning vaccine therapy and then all of a sudden... How young is this young person? 50s, I would say. Well, you gotta say... That's a young person. No, it's not. Not, not, not... Why don't we just talk about kids? Okay.
Starting point is 00:07:06 I consider you old people sort of. No, but you go a lot of kids or whatever with the vaccine, problems, and then you go young person, young person, it's a hard trade. I'm thinking a 14-year-old. Oh, no, no, no, no. Although we're seeing that too, really, the 20-year-olds, those are. Yeah, it's a bad, listen. 20 and 30s.
Starting point is 00:07:27 It was an ugly time. A time that I'm, I can't get over it. Semi-frequently asked to shut up about what I can never do. I can't get over it myself, yeah. And I won't. Yeah, thank you. Keep insulting these people and shaming them. They didn't be mocked and shamed
Starting point is 00:07:43 and all the compilations that everyone puts together now to mock and shame these people, they need to keep mocking and shaming. And the reason I say that is because they did a lot of harm and they will not limit it to this arena. They'll do it with everything they could get their hands on. And so they need a lot of pushback and they need a lot of mocking
Starting point is 00:08:12 and they need a lot of shaming. But also you're not allowed to call somebody a racist or an elitist or whatever, try to get them removed from their platform and do whatever you you got to do like literally Essentially destroy someone's life as an adult and then turn out to be wrong and expect not to be the Reparations need to be made repercussions. I mean whatever that is, it's fine. I'm not even, I'm not even begun. But people go, when are you gonna be done with this? I go, I'm never done with this.
Starting point is 00:08:49 I will mock and shame these people at every turn because they will move right onto the next thing they're wrong about, and I want their credibility injured horribly. I would like everybody who said everything on CNN who was wrong, I wouldn't listen to said everything on CNN who was wrong I wouldn't listen to a fucking thing Sanjay Gupta said about anything anymore That's really the price that guy has to pay like real injuries to their reputation
Starting point is 00:09:17 Professionally and by the same token the people that turned out to be correct I would like their I would like them elevated Yeah for whatever the next thing that comes along. The 51 experts from the FBI and CIA who signed the document, I would like them humiliated because I don't want to listen to them anymore because I would like them to be punished for lying. That's what I would like to do.
Starting point is 00:09:41 And I feel the same way about many, many people in the media. Well, this is another corollary to this, which is this scientism that has developed where these same people are like, you're not trusting the science, you're not trusting the people and authorities. Like, that is the opposite of science. This is why I said 30 years ago, I said there should not be headlines in science, because science is a process. It evolves, it always changes in opinions. Especially when these people are now pushing for some sort of truth ministry,
Starting point is 00:10:16 so they can ascertain what fake news is. I would like to constantly rub it in their face and explain to them how wrong they were, because I don't want them to get any kind of comfort or momentum so they can put together the next truth ministry so that they can have total control over what people are saying. I really think this issue is the core issue of our time. This is where the battle lines must be drawn. And somehow, somehow, the folks that are attempting to open the airwaves, the Elon Musk's
Starting point is 00:10:57 or the Robert Kennedy Jr's or whoever, the Joe Rogan's, whoever these people are, somehow these people are considered the problem. Right. Which I, again, it's sort of like, so you don't want any kind of tampering with the election and any kind of problems with the election, right. But you're against showing an ID when you vote, right. This is that same thing we talked about last time.
Starting point is 00:11:28 But you want the truth, right? Yeah. And you don't want false information. Right. But I don't want Elon Musk to own Twitter. Well, I thought that was just information and the truth and First Amendment. No, yeah, that's what I want, except for I want a ministry that I assembled that decides who would have been wrong and was wrong. I mean, we already dealt with it. They already did it. They controlled, you know, the Silicon Valley. But two of the bigger stories over the last several years would have been COVID, Joe Biden, Hunter Biden, Hunter Biden's laptop. You guys at Russian collusion. Okay, you guys were 100% wrong about all of it.
Starting point is 00:12:17 The three biggest stories, I would argue. The three biggest stories, you guys were wrong about every facet of it every step of the way. Yeah. But you guys are going gonna put the truth ministry together? Well, I'm dubious. Let me tell Byron to find something first, because I was talking to Drew about this off the air. But I do believe in Joe Biden, what a time we're living in. It's amazing.
Starting point is 00:12:46 Joe Biden's last sit down interview, I don't know, three weeks ago? Four weeks ago, right before he started his vacation. He sat down and gave once again the speech about Charlottesville and the good people on both sides and the people leaving with tiki torches. I will. Where he stood up. I'll get into that because I'll make a point and I'll get to my communist grandmother,
Starting point is 00:13:15 but go ahead Drew. All right. Before we hear about the grandmother, I want to mention that this show is sponsored by BetterHelp. What's something you love to learn? As adults we don't make time and we lose that childhood curiosity and there are ways to learn about yourself. Of course therapy gets you that back to school mindset at any age. It is a way of examining things in your life. It's a way of learning about yourself and your life. And if you are thinking about starting therapy, you might give better help. I've referred to family, friends, patients, been very pleased with the professional services provided there. You can change therapists anytime. It's entirely online. It is convenient
Starting point is 00:13:54 and it is flexible. I'm really, one of the things I was worried about during COVID was the effect of Zoom on mental health. Turns out it has been mostly a, not universally, but it's been a very, very positive thing and BetterHelp is part of that and so there's no threshold anymore. You should come to therapy, you should get therapy, no reason, no excuses, no embarrassment, no stigma, no waiting room, no nothing. You just fill out a brief questionnaire, you get matchly licensed therapists and as I said, switch anytime for no additional charge right Emmy that's right rediscover your curiosity with better help visit better help comm slash ADS today to get 10% off your first month that's better help HELP comm slash ADS
Starting point is 00:14:37 all right so now you found this from that does not look like what you were talking about. I think you were talking about that one where he was in a sit-down interview? No? Well, when is this from, Emmy? Let's see if I can find that. This may suffice. Yeah. I pulled this August 19th of this year.
Starting point is 00:14:56 Oh, okay. Not very recent. It's at the DNC. Ah, it's at the DNC. Alright, thank you. Alright, so... You're good. August 19th of this year, okay, so I'm gonna make a point a second but here we'll play it. Okay. Here we go I ran for president in 2020 because of what I saw in Charlottesville in August of 2017
Starting point is 00:15:25 Extremist coming out of the woods what I saw in Charlottesville in August of 2017. Extremists coming out of the woods, carrying torches, their veins bulging from their necks, carrying Nazi swastikas, and chanting the same exact anti-Semitic vile that was heard in Germany in the early 30s. Neo-Nazis, white supremacists, and the Klu Klux Klan, so emboldened by a president then in the White House that they saw as an ally.
Starting point is 00:15:59 They didn't even bother to wear their hoods. Hate was on the march in America. Old ghosts and new garments stirring up the oldest divisions, stoking the oldest fears, giving oxygen. You can pause it. All right. So here's what I was referring to in the last show is he's just gonna talk about white supremacy, KKK, Nazis, right? And then his Merrick Garland is gonna talk about the biggest problem this country faces is white supremacy, right? So then when the El Salvadorian guys take over the apartment buildings in Aurora, they
Starting point is 00:16:44 have to tamp that down because that fucks with their narrative. They're not white guys Who are doing and when somebody when there's violence on the subway in New York or when these gang members from different countries? Southern, you know South America and Central America, Mexico, when they commit violent crime, then CNN and everyone else has to go, don't say anything about that. Remember, white supremacy is what we're talking about. So those problems fester and get worse
Starting point is 00:17:19 because they will not draw any national attention because that fucks their theme up. Understood? Yeah. Okay, so that's what happens. But back to Joe Biden. Joe Biden saw that. That's literally the seven year anniversary
Starting point is 00:17:35 since he said, he saw that in August 2017. Now we're August 2024. He stood up and he said he's gotta put an end to it. Okay. How much closer has he got to that goal, putting an end to that, considering we still live in a racist society, according to him? I don't know if he's got any better, more work to do.
Starting point is 00:18:02 What was the date on the MSNBC Joe Biden thing that you're looking at there, Byron? You can put on my screen. But the point is this, I mean, that'll suffice. It'll work. But the- Same thing. He started his election by saying,
Starting point is 00:18:17 this is what I'm gonna do. Now he's at the end. He's lame duck and sort of dead in the water. He's not making any decisions So did he accomplish anything? Because that's all he talked about the entire his entire ten years president also for him Wasn't that feel
Starting point is 00:18:41 weirdly unsatisfying Well, I know with that you're not factoring that in, but what I'm saying is if I just said, you know, look, I was backing out of my driveway. You listening, Drew? I'm listening. I was backing out of my driveway in August 2017, right? Got it.
Starting point is 00:19:03 I'm backing out. I hit a shopping cart. And it scratched up my paint, my brand new car, because somebody left a shopping cart at the end of my driveway. And this is a big problem. I'm seeing shopping carts everywhere now. And you know what?
Starting point is 00:19:18 At that point, I got out of my car and I said, I'm running for president. You declared it. I declared it because I gotta get these shopping carts back into the parking lots of the supermarkets. They can't be spread out everywhere. And that was my thing. That's why I didn't. And then I ran for president. I won and I had four years of talking about shopping carts and now I'm at the end of my presidency and there's just as many shopping carts spread out all over the fucking straight maybe more But that feel weird
Starting point is 00:19:50 You know what I mean like or a satisfying or something or a little ah Embarrassing a little embarrassing like I all I talked about was shopping carts And there's they're out the streets all over the place in front of this place. I'm giving a speech then I keep talking about it Isn't that like somebody gotta go, huh? It's not, what I never get is it's not, first off, it's the most grandiose thing ever to say what he just said, that he's gonna put an end to racism himself. Also, he's done nothing other than agitate people.
Starting point is 00:20:25 Certainly, you do have to get, you have to get the theme going. You have to get all the people in the DOJ talking about white supremacy, because that's what you're doing. And then ignore whatever crime blacks are, gang members from Nicaragua do, and then we're off and running, right?
Starting point is 00:20:44 Then we got it, and we're done. I'm not sure why more people aren't a little embarrassed by that. Like I would find it to be sort of gross if that was my guy, like, come on, that's not why you ran. And then secondly, if you did, what would you do? Yeah, whatever you did wasn't enough
Starting point is 00:21:06 I don't know what it wasn't anything other than pandering You know, I'm gonna talk to the Howard University and tell them no one wants him here. Yeah, that'll be my commencement address All right Back to my grandma wait for you. So by the way Synopsis is this and and I really truly mean it, and I don't feel this way about everyone I disagree with. I think Joe Biden's a bad guy. I think he's a bad person.
Starting point is 00:21:35 Everyone says how nice he is, and he's a friendly guy and whatever, and I would never deny that, but I think he's a bad guy. I really do. There certainly is plenty of evidence of bad behavior, and you are what you do, as they say. Well, that's a bad guy. I really do. There certainly is plenty of evidence of bad behavior And you are what you do as they say. Well, that's what I say. Yeah, and uh, I worry that at very the the two things that stand up for me is is the the Outrageous lying that is instantly disproven About his position his law school and his full
Starting point is 00:22:05 rights goal, whatever the hell he's lying about. That's the greatest thing ever. And also, he's profiting via his junkie son millions and millions of dollars. Yes. So that behavior and then the lying suggests not a great guy. That's all I'm saying. I worry about that too. So anyway. but you can be nice and yes and lack character. All right now. I got the communist grandma Get this crap communist grandma. All right. All right. So number show number one We learned that my mom with all her great intentions ended up with two dunce kids dropped out of school and had to take with two dunce kids who dropped out of school and had to take manual labor jobs,
Starting point is 00:22:46 essentially, to survive at minimum wage. Okay, we learned that. Well, at least they weren't affected by the man. You know what I always think about too? Oh, I was thinking about me working at McDonald's. You know, there was a whole scuttlebutt about Kamala Harris saying she worked at McDonald's, but that there's no record she worked at McDonald's, but she says she worked at McDonald's, but that there's no record she worked at McDonald's,
Starting point is 00:23:05 but she says she worked at McDonald's. Drew, excuse me of not working at McDonald's. You never worked at McDonald's. Studio City, Ventura Boulevard, manager was named Ken. He was a large man of color. There was a sign in the back that said, "'Time to lean, time to clean.'" And I was in charge of sweeping and mopping the
Starting point is 00:23:25 dining area. Also in charge of the griddle, made the burgers. When you put the burgers up, you say, burgers up, wrap please. That means the burgers are ready and the people in the front can wrap them. Sounds like too much. You researched this. And when they would say, I need five Big Macs, I'd say cheese count on Big Macs, please. How many have cheese on there? And they'd say, I need five Big Macs. I'd say cheese count on Big Macs, please. How many have cheese on there? And they'd say cheese three, please. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:23:50 I worked there from the summer of 1980, probably until football season started. Football practice started about three month period, the summer of 1980. And go ahead and check the records of the studio city, McDonald's. That's what I thought that would be my answer. Yeah, if I work there. Yeah No comment would not be my answer because I worked there so I would then tell you that yeah not say anything Yeah, okay. It's interesting right? Well doesn't mean she didn't work at McDonald's what it just means if you'd said to me
Starting point is 00:24:24 Well, it doesn't mean she didn't work at McDonald's, but it just means if you'd said to me, accuse me of not working at McDonald's, that's my answer would be the answer I just gave you. Yeah, a little different. And it wouldn't be, oh, it was a long time ago and things are fuzzy. No, my manager's name Ken, sweetened them up, burgers up, wrapped police, she's counting up burgers, please. I would work there for three months, but I could walk you through that place. I know the lay of it, the way that lands in my head. And it's no longer there, by the way. How would we check the records?
Starting point is 00:24:54 McDonald's keeps a database. Oh, interesting. Well, once you think, and you're McDonald's, you're one of the biggest corporations around. You fill out time cards, you register, there's a whole protocol, you don't start the day you walk in, you have to go down and watch training videos and shit. I did have early comedy thoughts, like watching the training video, like one of the training videos is like, if there's an armed takeover, do not fight these people, you know? And I was like, fight them. I'm going with them when they leave. I'm going to jump in the van with them and you'll
Starting point is 00:25:36 take me with you. All right, communist mom. And then grandma, hippieie mom Didn't work out for Chris Carolla and the education of her children Hello hard to argue with the results at least for the SMA. Mm-hmm grandma communists grandma Had a homeless guy You know not full-blown probably junkie, you know shit in his pants homeless guy But back when we used to have down in his luck down as luck guys. We have hobo guys kind of walk around You know listen to the song king of the road. That's guys who jumped trains
Starting point is 00:26:16 Yeah took day jobs, you know get a little cash at the end of day of sweeping sweeping up, you know that kind of stuff so this guy came by my grandma's house and wanted some work, like, you know, $5, I'll rake all the leaves in the yard and blah, blah, blah. My grandmother did not have a garage, but she had a shed, a sort of walk-in, sort of, grandpa, I think, made it. It's a set of a size of a eight foot wide, 12 foot long, sort of screened in kind of patio shed thing where grandpa
Starting point is 00:26:54 kept this tool bench and various things were kept in there with a roof on it. I kept my tools at grandma and grandpa's shed. Is it what you used to call a garden shed? Is it that? Yeah, it's like a garden shed. Something unique to this part of the country, really. Probably, it was screened in, it wasn't solid walled. But it was on the other side of their sort of front,
Starting point is 00:27:21 I don't wanna call it a gate, cause you'll picture a stately man. They had this weird kind of sliding door thing in the front hard to tell hard to explain But it was on the secure side of that and I was living in like an apartment on you know Laurel Canyon some I there was no place for me to put my tools that and they would get stolen You know So I I would have my tools dropped off at my grandparents house and then when I would get a job
Starting point is 00:27:49 I'd go over there and pick up the tools I needed to go hang the door do whatever I did and at that point my career I was hanging a lot of doors and and really kind of specializing and door hanging which is kind of its own thing it's not people don't I don't know if they realize it or not but it's a guy go I'm a carpenter but that's like going I'm a doctor yeah ear nose and throat podiatrist and what what are you you know what I mean and it's that way with carpenter like a guy who frames condos can't hang a door right a guy who hangs the door can frame condos can't hang a door.
Starting point is 00:28:28 A guy who hangs a door can frame condos though. It's a little more, I think there's almost a medical version of that too. Do most Finnish carpenters also know how to hang a door? Finnish guys would be more, but then at certain point doors just became a door, you just became the door guy. But anyway, I could kind of do everything. And I was getting into Dorrs, and to get into Dorrs, you need specialty equipment
Starting point is 00:28:53 because you don't really need it for framing, and you don't even really, you know, for finish kind of a little bit, but for Dorrs, you need a planer, a real good one, and some other things. A mortising jig. Things of that nature. Anyway, I had all that, I was hanging doors,
Starting point is 00:29:11 and I went out and I bought myself a very expensive door hanging. Rockwell Porter Cable made it. Both companies made it, door plane. Very nice, very expensive, but very good. And I used that to hang doors. And I was sort of, even though I was poor, back then I bought good tools,
Starting point is 00:29:33 because bad tools feel like shit in your hand and they vibrate and stuff, and they're just not good for what, the other cheaper door planers didn't work for what I needed. And anyway, I bought it, it was in a metal case. It was brand new. And I kept it stored my grandparents house and my grandmother let keyless chuck come in. Keyless chuck?
Starting point is 00:29:55 You know what a keyless chuck is? No. I'll bet you, I bet you Joe knows what a keyless Chuck is you know the kids no Well forget by I just don't know anything anymore. It's weird. I hope you guys will feel some degree of shame here, but a Drill I used to have a key to turn tighten up the bit. Yes now, you know, sir all big and plastic and rubbery It's a keyless Chuck tighten it the bit. Now you notice they're all big and plastic and rubbery. Keyless chuck, you tighten it by hand. You guys know what I'm saying. Yeah, I know what you're saying.
Starting point is 00:30:32 I do know what you're saying. So that's called a keyless chuck. I do remember the keys. I understand what you're saying. Remember my father owned a hardware store, there was lots of those old. Oh, even worse for you. Now everything's basically a keyless chuck,
Starting point is 00:30:42 because someone figured out why you can just tighten them by hand. It'll work. So she let keyless chuck in, and he was a hobo, and she proudly, you know, my grandmother, even though she was, her heart bled for the down and out, and the pour, and the unwashed masses, she was super cheap. She would not tip or be generous with any of them ever.
Starting point is 00:31:05 There you go, this is that part I was talking about last show. Right, she would never do anything for them. But she got this poor guy to probably rake up her whole yard and pit pull weeds and whatever, probably getting four dollars at the end of it. Three hours, you know what I mean? And he collected his four bucks and he left.
Starting point is 00:31:23 And in her mind she was given him a leg up, a chance at work. Honest days pay, you know. And then a couple days later I showed up to hang a door, I got a door hanging job and I reached for the case, the brand new gray metal case that my planer was in and I lifted it up and it clearly was empty. I could tell by the weight and I opened it and it was empty. And I was like devastated because the most valuable thing I owned other than the truck I was driving. And I couldn't hang doors without it. And I was like,
Starting point is 00:31:57 Jesus Christ, what? And I started looking and I started thinking, maybe I put it away and I didn't put it back in the case. Wishing, hoping that horrible, horrible, horrible feeling. No such luck, nowhere to be found, completely gone. Turned everywhere over, called friends like, did you borrow my door plan? Like, no. Some point, said to my grandma, my planer, it's gone. It's out of the case.
Starting point is 00:32:25 Did somebody back here, did you let somebody in or did somebody break in or something? She goes, well, there was this homeless guy. I just sort of let wander around the yard while I was in the bathroom, you know, I was inside the house. And I was like, I think he stole my planer. And she was like, yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:44 I mean, that's, if it was in the box and now it's not in the box and he was the only guy, you know, me, your grandpa didn't steal it, it must've been this guy. And I said, so this guy you let in to help out, he took my $400 planer.
Starting point is 00:32:57 I was like, yep, probably sold it for 20 bucks, you know, get some drugs. And I said, well, now I don't have a planer. I can make my living hanging these doors. That's gonna be hard to make a living. She's like, well, what are you gonna do? And that was the end of that. Now, who's she?
Starting point is 00:33:15 Well, she thinks she's doing, she thinks she's helping this guy, except for this guy's a criminal, and can't be helped because he's a drug addict. But she's got a plan, let him come in. Then he comes in, takes four dollars from her but takes a four hundred dollar planer which is mine, which is my problem according to my grandmother, she's not going to do anything about that. So nothing worked for my mom in the education department and nothing worked for my grandmother and he helped the down and out guy get back on his feet department he ripped her off
Starting point is 00:33:49 but he didn't rip her off he ripped me off so she really didn't care and she really didn't give a shit and she wasn't going to dig into her wallet and make me a hole again or even spy i i knew she wasn't going to buy i knew she wouldn't go, how much is the planer? Let's get a new one. But I kinda thought maybe she'd offer up, like I'll split the difference with you, we'll both pay 190 bucks for it or whatever. Nope, nothing.
Starting point is 00:34:16 This is the tool her poor grandson used to make a living with. Zero thoughts about replacement of that tool and perfect. So she's perfect and consistent. My mom was perfect and consistent. They've never done anything for anybody and their plans all were shit and that's where we're living right now. It's in fact because they used to live in a privileged class that has privileged ideas and they're going to help the down and out but doesn't understand what it is to be middle to really struggle and to make a living. They had no idea. Are you talking about my? You're talking about who you're talking about? You technically were trying to enter the middle class. I was. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:56 And she, they were from privileged class of one type or another. They just didn't feel they needed to work and they went to school and they thought about things and she was a professional. I'm confused. Why? You think my grandma and my mom were in privilege class? They actually were. Well, no, my grandmother worked full time. I understand, but she was an academic and they were fucked.
Starting point is 00:35:16 No, people, listen, the problem with you, Drew, is you're saying something and you're not picturing one bathroom shacks. They're living in one bathroom, one bedroom shacks. They're living in one-bathroom, one-bedroom shacks. It's not a privilege class. Now, they were in a kind of de facto privilege class because my mom didn't work because she got a free junker house to die in and food stamps.
Starting point is 00:35:38 But it is a privilege in that they don't have to go out and sort of make their way. You know what I mean? No, my grandmother got up at seven and went to the VA in Westwood and worked all day. She didn't like I mean there were They work there. You wouldn't call them privilege class. They were just in a sort of place mentally Where they didn't it's that it's basically the guy who's has the rent control apartment in Santa Monica Basically the guy who has the rent control apartment in Santa Monica explaining that these developers need to offer low cost, yeah, yeah, you, you,
Starting point is 00:36:10 you live in this place where you don't pay a lot of rent. Then you work for the DMV in Santa Monica. You, you who've never gone out and worked. And this notion that between Tim Walls, Kamala Harris, and Joe Biden, there's 200 years and nobody's worked in the private sector is scary and insane to me. Insane. Because their thoughts are warped by their environment.
Starting point is 00:36:44 All right, Boise, that'll be this Friday, o'clock Egyptian theater few tickets left Albany, Oregon Lynn laughs be doing stand-up there that'll be Saturday at 7 p.m. In Oregon. What do you got to subscribe rumble past dr. Drew so till next time I'm a crow doctor saying Mahalo.
