You're listening to The Adam and Dr. Drew Show. Yeah, get it on, got to get on the, ba ba ba ba ba ba ba. Drs. Board First Size Sexist Dismassion Specialist.

All right, Drew, I got stuff. What do you got? I got stuff. You want to start? Yeah. All right. I got two things I want to get into. One is I just heard a story that in South Korea,

the good Korea, I mean we have to do it because the North out here was the good side and the South was the bad side in terms of our nation's history. So sometimes you get a little confused and then Vietnam, North, I think North Vietnam was a bad one and South was a good one. You gotta keep them straight. Yes. Dog strollers have outsold child strollers in the last year and a half. That means something. I mean like it should be like that should be a new thing they monitor for social trends and economics. Like, uh-oh, we have a problem. No, it's barbed wire around the freeway signs. It's, oh we got an issue.

Yeah. There's an issue. Yeah. And when these things, you know, I wish, I don't want to say proactive, but I just mean it's sort of like You have a friend and that that friend is is a social drinker And he'd usually wine you know and some beer occasional cocktail or something and then one day you you see him On on a Tuesday at 9 a.m.. And he's drinking scotch. You know and you just kind of go What threshold what's this? Right, and then you go, you know me, I drink, I have a couple drinks, and yeah, but that's when we go to dinner, this is Tuesday.

You know, like when you spot something, and so it's at that point where you kind of go, okay, well, there's something going on, it's an issue, we should probably address it. And I feel that way way like, you know, we have all these street takeovers here, you know. It's just marauding gangs of 17-year-olds just doing donuts in the middle.

And it's like, well, we just stand back and watch. No, no, that's, the street takeover's a bad sign. It means we've kind of lost control of our society I told you when I was in Chicago like four years ago just eating at a ritzy place right on whatever Lake Boulevard or whatever and it's an entire group of guys on quads and dirt bikes and stuff just took it over and the cops just sort of nowhere to be found I was like a bad sign for Chicago there it is dogs and strollers I saw it in San Francisco about a year and a half ago an entire like

Mini bike squad just sort of took over and went up and down. It's not like they're breaking windows and starting fires They just well, they're in control. Yeah, and and it's a bad sign. And so dogs in strollers is bad, but it also made me realize a capacity like a capacity for satiation which is kind of scary like you go what woman doesn't need a child you know men are doing this how dare you I'm certain that it must be it's all women but here's the thing I don't know what it is but I know what it is it It's all women. But here's what I was kind of thinking about Yeah, what women are capable of. Yeah, I was picturing Tom Hanks on the island

With Wilson. You know what I mean? That was his best friend. He was able to be best friends with a volleyball You know what I mean? You can make your dog your your child well yes my wife was on the record saying that when she had children her dog became a dog mm-hmm overnight right yeah and her cat became a cat right and the there's an interesting component I brought this up to you once before and you were you thought it was interesting which is when you go into the nursing homes and you see the demented older ladies Oh, yeah, they always holding baby dolls. Yeah men do not they're not interested in holding baby dolls, right? So it's the same impulse

Yes in a i'm not saying people are demented i'm saying in a healthy normal. So let's say person it's the impulse to have a baby doll, quite literally. Well, I guess so. I guess the bigger subject we're trying to kind of navigate here is a satiation thing that I've always kind of circled around and talked about a little bit. And I think it's all landing in the same spot of the brain,

which is to say, you know, almost, there's nothing we did during COVID was consistent or made sense, but there was a satiation. You know, there was a sort of, I got a mask on, it's around my chin, you can see my mouth and my nose, but I got the mask, I got the mask. You know what I mean? Or we're in the elevator and we're five feet apart,

we're going up 31 floors together. We gotta do something. I'm facing the wall. You know what I mean? There was a big, and so I've found, I think women have that satiation, I think the satiation gene is more on the feminine side. Motivation thing, right?

Well, it's a kind of a, like I said, I've joked with you, like, a lot in the past, you know, where I've said to, I've been with women, I'm like, oh, you know, when are we gonna get the cable guy? I called him, you know what I mean? What happened? I got the machine, you know? Did you leave?

I did. When was that? Three weeks ago. It's like, okay, we didn't. No, it kind of feels to them. It's something. It's something. We don't have cable, but they did something.

To me, it feels like we're in the exact same place as if you never made the phone call, which we are But there's a kind of a feminine satiation thing, you know and those in the same with the little like I used to talk to my ex-wife I'd go just Make the boy a hard-boiled egg. He needs something hot. He needs something hot and filling, you know And I believe you're giving him Quaker instant oats maple and brown sugar You know with fake orange dye number three and there's no maple corn syrup You're feeding him shit. Just just sugary carbs, but he needs something hot. It's cold outside

You know what I mean? I go Give him an apple and a hard-boiled egg if you don't want to make him scrabble eggs tomorrow I said, you know, no, he needs something hearty. You know what I mean? So what's it mean? It's unhealthy, but it's satiating. It feels kind of about right. I mean, it's really the era we're in with homelessness and borders and sanctuaries and

seated them. So all this stuff that feels like something and it's actually, it's the same as the instant Quaker Oats. It's harmful, but it feels like you're doing the right thing. Yes. And I think for the male brain and for some female brains, you have to do something. Like when the, you know, it's not okay to talk about framing the house. You want to stand back after the house is framed and see it.

That's when satiation sets in, not talking about that. Right, so the dog in the stroller sort of satiates from having the kid. I mean, we're just, the mass, the paper mass that doesn't work somehow prevents you from getting COVID. Like, all the, you know, the weird rituals, like how many people do you know, maybe more women than men, but how many people do you know that are sort of like,

man, I'm working hard and I'm dieting, I'm just not shedding the pounds, but I'm working hard. And you're like, you ate a breakfast burrito yesterday. Oh, that was at one time. Like there's some kind of weird inner rap of like here's what I'm doing Well, it's denial and you're lying Essentially one form of denial is lying right and here's all you do and here's how hard you work and here's everything you do

It's like it's a so we're in some sort of mental satiation sort of mantra mental satiation sort of mantra talk in our own heads. By the way, get with other like-minded people and then sort of bullshit each other as a sort of bullshit support group of how hard you're working and what you're doing. But I don't know what's going on in South Korea.

I know nothing about the social trends there, but the baby stroller dog feels very lonely. So it feels like they probably aren't having relationships, they aren't having marriages, because no dude, I know if you're in a relationship with somebody, you're gonna let your girlfriend go out in a stroller with the dog. I think they do. Or maybe they sign off on it, I don't know. Our surgeon general just came out with a report saying that being a parent, maybe a mother,

a health risk, was like a health risk and traumatized. Now our surgeon general's a puss and he needs to go and I don't know how it works. I mean if Trump gets voted in I don't know if they clean out all the fucking wacky-doodle nut jobs with their fucking... Well I mean with their weird... I, listen, we have a surgeon general, he could have said during COVID, hey, I wanna lose some weight. Now's the time to lose some weight. Good excuse to lose some weight and get some vitamin D too.

Get out in the sun, you didn't even hear anything from anybody ever. So we can get rid of that retard. But I think he's a DEI. He's an anesthesiologist, so I don't know. But I think he's a DEI higher though, which is the problem with the DEI stuff is, I don't but I think he's a DEI hire though which is the problem with the DEI stuff is I don't know if he's qualified or not he looks

he's like Indian so I'm like is that a DEI hire or is he the best most qualified 37 year old anesthesiologist to be searched in general I suspect his ethnicity I think he says he weighs into this thing. Yeah, but anyway, well the vec Murphy To check out what you see anesthesiologist. Is he yeah anyway anyway, this is a Distressing in that it doesn't reflect happiness in my humble opinion it affects adjusting to a reality that's miserable with some sort of satiating maneuver. It seems like to me, I don't know. Maybe they're delightfully happy and couldn't be better. I don't know. Well, what they missed, I mean, the new

all roads lead to narcissism thing we talk about is the new thing is like the new trend is I don't want a kid I want to be able to travel with my partner you know and eat fine cheese you know and not have to save for formula you know that kind of stuff and and I will file that under the heading of me saying why don't you wash your own car in the driveway this week? You don't have to do that, I have money, I'll pay somebody to come in a van and they'll detail it. It's like, okay, just keep getting out of stuff. See how you feel.

Just keep avoiding things, keep doing whatever's easiest, stop all the stuff that we know traditionally works and leads to happiness. And he's an internal medicine doctor. Oh, is he? Okay, all right. Brigham and Women's Hospital. I got that.

Bad army, I think the last guy was an anesthesiologist, the one before him. Anyway, so, yes. So, okay, he's in a position to make some good comments, but this isn't one of them. Yeah, he's still going DI higher, though. Which, by the way, everyone, you did to yourselves, because I never thought DEI higher in the past

before you guys announced we were gonna go DEI hires, and now every time you put someone in a position of power who's gay or Indian or black or female or lesbian or whatever, I go I go oh are they really qualified to be there which is a horrible place to be because maybe they are clarify you're not saying anything about those I don't need to clarify I don't need to clarify true you're just a pussy no I'm not a pussy I'm tired of getting attacked for you're not getting attacked you didn't say anything I did

everyone understands how it works all right, that does not mean look her III Thomas souls a black man I would take him as a the the philosopher laureate or the poet laureate or I've taken the surgeon general I'm gonna take him into any position, but he's not gonna get hired Right, so he's not the right kind of black for them. All right. What do you got there? You got something? What do you got? Nothing nothing. All right. Well, let's talk about have anything. Let's talk about upcoming some interesting stories that caught my attention Which is that there are things trending on social media? Like tinder people are are leaving Tinder for Strava.

I don't know what Strava is. Well, can you guys show us? Can we see some Strava? Go ahead, Kyle. Yeah, we can bring up that Strava is a running app. And so basically the article is running through the idea that singletons are leaving the dating sphere and they're moving to hobby apps such as Letterboxd, movies. Yeah, my hobby is getting blown by strangers.

Yeah, well that's one of the hobbies apparently. If you can establish your own, you got it. So I think that was the Tinder hobby mostly. But yeah, and you like this. You actually sort of identified this as maybe something good because people have hobbies. Just having hobbies is a good thing. Well, hobbies are something, okay, let me explain. Can I explain? People do, I got hobbies, what are your hobbies? Reading. You know, that's not a hobby. I'm sorry, tough shit, just because I can't read. It's not sour grapes. It's not a hobby. It's you sitting there listening to someone else's voice in your head. And walking is not a hobby. Hobbies

involve like getting materials, planning things, putting things together. Traditional hobbies. And also your hobby isn't exercise, although exercise is good and it's great for your head, but it can't just be my hobbies running on a treadmill. You need to like, so the thing about hobbies is you go out there and you interact with people a ton, when you're really doing hobbies. Other people who are in those hobbies. And you go to the hobby store and you buy materials,

and it's not necessarily the hobby store, it could be the auto parts place because you're rebuilding that car, but you're, you know, there's a thing, there's a group. It's necessary. We completely gotten away from it. Completely, and also, I'm gonna announce, you know what the number one hobby that kicked in

that everyone now thinks is a hobby that I'm also gonna declare is not a hobby? Cooking. Oh, interesting. Well, hmm. All right, look, maybe I'm just grandpa carola, but here's what I'm removing. Cooking is a huge hobby for people

and it's kind of replaced all the old traditional hobbies, especially for men. Okay. Men never cook. Okay. And now it's a big deal for them. Okay. And I like the components of it, like you have to go out and shop and figure out the

recipe and spend some time. I'm going cooking half a hobby. But it's another one of those behaviors that men adopt to try to impress women. Yeah, I just, I wanna say, here's what I would like. I would like you to be able to cook and I would like you to exercise, run on that treadmill or workout, you know.

And I would like you to read. But on top of all of that, I would like you to read, but on top of all of that, I would like a hobby, like a traditional thing where you left the house and you went and did this thing. You know what I mean? Okay, let me tell you about Shopify. It's not all about having a good product. It's actually the business behind the business

that makes selling and buying simple. That's Shopify for millions of businesses. That business is Shopify. Nobody does selling better than Shopify, home of the number one checkout on the planet, including ShopPay, which boosts conversions up to 50%.

at Shopify.com slash Adam and Drew. That's all lowercase. Go to Shopify.com slash Adam and Drew today to upgrade your selling. Shopify.com slash Adam and Drew. You know what's interesting, just looking at that website with the runners, everybody's getting together and running.

That's not a hobby. I get what you mean. Yeah, it doesn't happen. All right, let's go to their website. Okay, so the picture that pops up is a guy alone on a bicycle, a woman alone jogging, and then another cyclist spread out, and then a group jogging, another group jogging. What I just say, it's not exercise. It's not a fucking hobby.

Building a ship in a bottle is a hobby. And making a tapestry is a hobby. In a weird way, this sort of undermines the whole idea because it's just really just who wants to go run today? And then you're going to go run today? And then you're going to go off running, and you're not going to share in a project. You're not going to talk.

You're just going to go run. When you're cycling on a mountain road, there's five of you, and you're spread out six feet. And everyone's breathing pretty hard. I guess you could argue afterwards maybe get together and do something but most people kind of slot this stuff in and then go do something else. You can do like the Michelob Ultra commercial where all sitting around at the end, you know, after cycling.

But wait a minute, so this is a website that extols the virtues of hobbies in every single picture and depiction? Is this someone jogging or mountain biking? So no Strava's particularly is for jogging and for meetups. There are other apps mentioned in the article such as Letterboxx which is a movie community. That's grown from 1.8 million followers to 14 million. And it's a dating app? No, so people are finding more connections via like these options. How is it not just like a Facebook page or something? You know, it's like, is just another version of that kind of thing? Yeah, it's just another version of that. Like Goodreads is another one, and people are connecting via the books that they are

connecting with. It's almost like a digital community. And people are finding, via their interests, dating and options, instead of perusing what is deemed the overly sexual Tinder hinge and that kind of connecting. All right, so it's like more organic and a little more what grandma and grandpa would have done. You get together with a group that likes movies, not a group that likes rando sex acts.

And then you have your rando sex acts with the person while discussing Quentin Tarantino. I would say the other viral video, which I just don't get, but it's all over the place, is the Very Demure. You heard about this? Mm-mm. You guys, you're gonna have to help me with this. I miss out on the viral videos.

It's not even a viral video so much as a... like a lane, like something you'll hear over and over again. Can you guys help explain this to me? Very demure, I just don't, I know it started one place and then it sort of spread all over the place. I don't understand why it started. That's not where it started.

It started from this woman. We'll play you the video so you can see where it was birthed. Okay. to the interview is the way I go to the job. A lot of you girls go to the interview looking like Marge Simpson and go to the job looking like Patty and Selma, not Demure. I'm very modest, I'm very mindful. You see my shirt? Only a little cheat-shee out, not my cho-cho. Be mindful of why they hired you. Here's your reality check, diva.

What's the name you'd like me to make it out to? And how many views? Why millions? Why millions? Why? No, I do listen call me agree with call me whatever but No, I go. Oh this kid has a has a Present opening page and he's got six billion views and I just watched some six-yearyear-old open a box, and I go, what's going on? And I go, well, that's what, we're super popular. But again, we can file it back to our old show,

which is sun-dried tomatoes on a pizza. Like, why? Why? Why? Because people are doing it. Which is a lot, it's a lot of our society now. I've never heard of this, because thankfully, somehow I miss all these

things. I don't get sucked into. First off, is that a woman or a man? That's a woman. We think. We don't know her pronouns. Well, here's a very sad, can I give you two sad testimonials of where we're at. Okay. Oh, it is a trans woman. Oh, it's a, but it is a trans female, she her. Oh no, who cares, it doesn't matter. But here's the whole point. We're living in a weird, now remember I just talked to you 10 seconds ago about DEI?

Yeah. And the real tragedy of it is you're walking through the quad in Harvard and you see some 19 year old black chick walking down the quad and you go Is she here because of di or? Is she just scores the same as everyone else exceptional person? Yeah Yeah, like everyone else or do we just give her this, you know, like kamala harris or whatever Okay, I don't want to think that but it's it's tough on the person or whatever, okay. I don't wanna think that, but it's tough on the person.

By the way, I would kill myself if people just thought, didn't Adam really get the job because he's funny or is it really just a thing because they need more? A weird thing in your head, right? Anymore old white men, yeah. And now there's so many fat chicks and so many trannies and so many this gender swapping whatever that when I see a woman, not in this case, you didn't

know what she was, sound that way to me, but here's the point. I see women that have like masculine features and are a little bit heavy set and I go is that a dude? Which is the most insulting thing ever to that woman if you think about it right? And the woman may find herself to be attractive, may be married, you know what I mean? May have an active sex life or what have you, and I'm going, that's a dude. Like I mean, you would kill yourself as a heterosexual woman who did not trans, who just had a couple extra pounds or facially, you know, a deeper voice, and I'm like, that's a dude, right? So now we're at a place where I'm like,

is that Indian guy who's the Surgeon General really there because he's the best choice, and is that chick a dude? But you have to ask, because it's all on the fucking table now. Every woman who's on a video or anywhere who's got like a little bit of a voice, Katherine Turner, Google that shit, who's usually put on a little bit extra weight,

and then some women just have sort of man features, their dad's strong jeans or something Gotta ask And that is depressing man. Well, the other the other thing is this virality of nothing 30 million views, you know about hactua, right? Yeah. Yeah that that I couldn't escape All right so this is similar to that and so people are doing all these follow-on videos where they're just I Think they're making fun

But the making fun is often so subtle that you're like they're just using very Jamure all the time as though it now has become part of the lexicon. I Don't okay. I Is it that we're attracted to sort of delusional? No, no, no, no. Why are we passing this around? What is... Well, first of all, they're... No, I mean, we're not attracted to it, but... So what is it that made us interested

in sharing with other people is the question. I would never share this with anyone because she didn't say anything. But I think it's more of a, oh, this chick thinks she's hot? Or what is it? What is what is it I say attractive I don't mean physically attractive I mean why do people want this No, I get it. Is it the oddness of it that it's so sort of it's so kind of to say very demure is such an Yeah, or who knows overboard or there's this new cycles off or you, or who knows? Or we're bored or there's this new cycles off or, you know, who knows, who knows what?

The other thing she did that I found, I always find problematic, off-putting, I don't know what to call it, was inflecting your every sentence as though there's a question mark at the end. That's a Southern California thing, as much as anything. So I would say she's from Southern California somewhere, but it is this sort of, I can't even imitate it, but there's always this sort of up section at the end, which you put on a question. That and when did the word when become exclusively whenever? Yeah. Whenever I go to the store. He was talking to me whenever it was Tuesday. Whenever was meant something different, not just when. I don't know, it's all done. I'm kind of hoping for.

You're hoping if Grim Reaper steps in. When they talk about the you know mutually assured annihilation with nukes and Oh you know, let's get it over with Kind of getting there with a lot of stuff Do we have a voicemail?

No. Yeah I didn't list any. I can throw something else your way I mean Harvey Weinstein was rushed to the hospital yesterday for heart surgery. I was wondering do you think it's real or has he seen too many movies? No, no, you can't do that unreal. But why rushed for surgery? That's odd.

Because normally rushed for angioplasty but the surgery is not in mind when you come in with chest pains. Surgery is something we sometimes have to do. Well is rushed, rushed is in the article. Does that even mean rushed? You know what I mean? We just we just do everything all day. The articles are so bullshitty that I don't even right. So you're with me that I can't believe, certainly nothing in print, certainly nothing in print, but I can't believe anything anywhere. I'm sure he had a procedure scheduled. Oh, scheduled.

No, no, I don't know. I'm just saying I don't believe when they say Rushed for surgery, I don't believe it anymore. It's just like, kids, kids annoy dolphins. Yeah, I just, they're not annoyed. That's a bullshit story. But anyway, he was rushed to Bellevue Hospital, Manhattan. Rushed. Right. So he, so he was in heart failure, which is the fluid on his lungs, there's no fluid on his heart, unless it's pericardial fluid, which is very unlikely. So fluid in the lungs, heart failure, the procedure would be a thoracentesis.

Then he had heart surgery, which I don't understand. If a guy's in heart failure, see, oh, he had pericardiosentesis. So they not just did, okay, so they took out the fluid from his chest and the fluid from around his pericardium. Listen, am I right or am I right? Four years ago, I said cash out, gas up the jet, go somewhere where there's no extradition, and live it out. Him. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Listen, Roman Polanski, it worked pretty good. Roman Polanski is going on year 55.

Yeah. Of living in Paris. Yeah. And being celebrated by the Oscars as well. Yeah. Worked out for him. Worked out for him. Could have gassed up the fucking jet

and left in 2019 and a half. And he's got plenty of cash, he's got a jet, find the country where there's no extradition and go there. I told that to fucking Garagos. He's like, no, you don't want to do that. You're not going to do that. Okay. What do Mark will say now? Then there's this. I think Mark said it out of some sort of Hippocratic oath or something, you know some fiduciary something. You don't want to get disbarred or something, but I said Gas up the jet cash in the checks and hit the fucking road and look I don't know where we don't but you may be living it out in spain. I don't know. I know you can't go

To paris. I don't think we've reinstated something and Roma Polanski's been like grandfathered in or something. But there are places, well first off, any place is better than prison, right?
