Starting point is 00:00:00 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 the chokes. That dude more for that. That's it. Per side specialist. Oh, Mike's got a heat. Drew's Mike up.
Starting point is 00:00:41 Here we go. Got it. Test one to still feel it's not on. It is not. Oh, there we go, got it. Test one, two. Still feel it's not on. It is not on. Oh, there it is. There we go, there we go. There we go. All right, what's on your mind, Drew?
Starting point is 00:00:51 Oh, nothing, nothing much at all. Why would anything be on my mind? So, wasn't it five minutes ago that everyone was like, oh, Adam, come on, the school to prison pipeline. You know that there's a school to prison pipeline. Come on, family and education, come on. Wasn't it five minutes ago, people were going, Adam and Drew, you've changed, you've changed so much.
Starting point is 00:01:13 Old grumpy old men that have changed everything about your thinking has completely changed. Yeah, well, some of that, look. We've been saying the same shit for 20 years and now people think we've changed again? I don't know. I don't know what you're referring to. I'm referring to the fact that shit that you have had on the internet for the last 12, 20 years showing up again. Look what Adam's saying. It's like, yeah, he's the same thing as we've been
Starting point is 00:01:38 saying when you told him you'd changed. You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah. That'd mean me in front of Congress? You in front of Congress, you with of Congress you with Newsome you whatever It's been the same. I'm sure we could dial it back If you if you found old clips of Jack LaLanne from the 50s You would have Jack LaLanne you gotta move and you gotta breathe and you gotta feed yourself healthy food.
Starting point is 00:02:08 It's what are you putting the tank? That's what's gonna come out of the exhaust pipe. And you put a bunch of bad junk in, your car's not gonna run right, you know? And then you gotta breathe. You're not gonna find clips of him advertising some cream you rub on your abdomen that acts like you did a thousand sit-ups in two minutes or something. You can watch footage of the Jack LaLanne show from the 50s.
Starting point is 00:02:37 Like literally, it's like, it's Jack LaLanne. It's black and white and he's in his onesie. No, he's in his onesie and there's a silhouette of him doing jumping jacks at the beginning I always picture him with the broom handle over his shoulders and his hand draped over it What are you looking for your volume? I'm completely tied up Okay, it's what's pulling the mic out Drew's got his foot caught up. It's oh, okay. It's what's pulling the mic out. Drew's got his foot caught up. Look at this Oh just fucking here we go. Your life. What? Yeah It's him with the mop handle over shoulders. Oh, yeah arms and he's going hey, oh, yeah twisting
Starting point is 00:03:16 That's how you'd open the show. Yeah, but but the but a good-looking German Shepherd You know what his wife's name was? Jane no Elaine. Oh He had a good looking German Shepherd. You know what his wife's name was? Jane? No, Elaine. Oh, Elaine. Isn't that nuts? That's nuts. All right, but the point is, the point is, you're not-
Starting point is 00:03:35 Do you remember the video of him opening the opening, it's the Jack LaLanne show, it's black and white, he's doing a- It's from the 50s. Okay. It's from the 50s. Well, I'm making a point here, which is I'm attempting to go back further. He's doing a jumping jack. It's from the 50s. Okay. 60s even. It's from the 50s. Well, I'm making a point here, which is I'm attempting to go back further than the 60s.
Starting point is 00:03:52 I went to his home to do a man show bid in 2000. Now his show was from the 50s, but when I saw him in 2000, he was saying the same thing, because you're not gonna talk Jacqueline out of exercise and eating right, but you know, but the Greeks were saying it as well, you know? So with me, when I'm telling you family and education, you're not gonna talk me out of that. So also any DEI related stuff, you're not gonna talk me out of either. But this stuff did pop up
Starting point is 00:04:36 because I was talking about being a fireman and so on and so forth. That's a story you told, first time I heard it was probably 1996. Yes. And then they're honored as though it's a new thing. And I imagine it's even worse now. You're talking about something that happened in probably
Starting point is 00:04:52 the 80s when that happened to you? Yeah. And this is what people don't believe, that this stuff has been going on for a long, long, long, long, long, long time. Well, I think the problem with this stuff or with all stuff like this is they get into this world where they're like, you say the problem is black firefighters
Starting point is 00:05:16 or something, nobody said that was the problem. No. No, the fire. Quite the contrary. Well it's not quite the contrary, the fire force can be made up of whoever wants to be a fireman who's best at it It doesn't matter woman black doesn't doesn't really matter. It's kind of a weird, you know, it's funny I was just talking to Chris Cuomo, right and There is it's it's a progressive
Starting point is 00:05:43 Assumption which there's a lot of projection and it's assumption that they sign off on that I absolutely do not sign off on, which is, you know, that video I showed you where you go, you know, you want someone who looks like you. So Cuomo was talking to me, who I like, but he's making the point that if the Supreme Court was all black and all female, well then I'd want to know who was representing me. And I said, look, the hero to every MAGA person is Clarence Thomas. That's their hero on the Supreme Court. It's a black man, but that's their hero because he has their values. That's who they are. Sotomayor, I don't like, not because she's Hispanic and a woman, but she's dumb and her values are bad. You know what I mean? And if they flipped each other's values, then i'd be a fan of hers
Starting point is 00:06:46 There was nine black women that spoke like thomas soul Yeah, I think he just goes with soul soul. Yeah, it looks like so well, but it's soul. I thought it was so well Anyway, anyway soul. Uh, I guarantee you everybody would love that Thomas soul is a Hero to the right. Yeah, there's a black man. Yes As a matter of fact, but let me just because you know it's a man the things he said are so clear Shut up drew not because nobody said cuz he's a black man. I Understand you wouldn't say that but people know what he said that nobody thinks that no drew don't be dumb. We're making your point Okay, he's a black man who's a hero Nobody said that. Nobody thinks that. No, Drew, don't be dumb. We're making your point.
Starting point is 00:07:25 He's a black man who's a hero to the right who's supposed to be a racist. It's not because he's a black, it's his ideas. They like his ideas. The left doesn't know he exists. Every time Time does the 100 most influential African Americans, it's always Jay Z. It's never Thomas Soule. He doesn't, he'll never crack any of those lists, ever.
Starting point is 00:07:52 This is weird. Not weird if you know who they are. But either way, Drew, the point is, is it's values. And yes, when I was on the Huffington Post show, arguing with whoever that Yenta was about the school to prison pipeline, you know, that was 10 years ago. At least. I haven't changed any of my thoughts
Starting point is 00:08:13 about any of this stuff. Now, there's a strange kind of twisting of the thoughts, you know, meaning I'm not obsessed with race. I'm the opposite of obsessed with race. I just want whoever's the best fireman to be the fireman. I don't want it considered. I'm the ultimate in non-racists. I don't want it brought up. I don't want to box on the application. I don't even want to know. That's all I'm saying. These guys, I think it was the New York Times that was a great one. First they called for blind auditions for the Philharmonic because they believed people were being discriminated against. Women were being discriminated against. They have to put it behind a shield, behind a screen. Just women?
Starting point is 00:09:05 Well, that's where it came from. Oh, it came from women. Yeah. And then it's probably spread into everything. Yeah. Really, it started with women? Yeah. They were saying that the judges weren't receptive to the idea that a woman could play as well as a man.
Starting point is 00:09:22 Okay. And then what ended up happening is not what they wanted. It's like Scandinavia. So once they found out they weren't getting the results they wanted through blind screenings, now they just wanted people weeded out based on their ethnicity, which is what I don't want. based on their ethnicity, which is what I don't want. So what I want is what you all said you wanted 25 years ago. In front of a screen, I don't wanna see the person. That's what you said you wanted. Now what you want now is quotas,
Starting point is 00:09:59 and that's different than what you said you wanted. So for me, I'll go along with you on the blind auditions. I'm not going along with you on the quote auditions. So I wanna go back around to you not changing. And the reason you've always been of the point of view that you have been is you had a huge dose of someone who was an embodiment, a representation of what we've just been through, frankly, that the mind, the public mind, which is your mom. Your mom was very
Starting point is 00:10:31 into all this stuff and you saw what it did to her, you saw how disconnected from reality it was, how it harmed her, and so it made you very sensitive to these issues and is why when they started going that direction, you called it early and often. I don't know that it harmed her. I mean, she wasn't going to do anything anyway. Didn't help her, let's put it that way. Well, what are you talking about? You're talking about this specifically, this issue, or just the general sort of wokeness? Just in general, the wokeness, the mind virus. It didn't make her, it did not help with her happiness, I would say. It made her not want to compete. It made her distrust everybody and everything, and it reinforced all that. though you we may be putting the motivation ahead of the action or the
Starting point is 00:11:29 action behind the motivation or whatever it is most of this stuff you have to kind of reverse engineer it you know like my mom hated competition because if there ever was a competition she would lose the competition So she attacked competition She did not want to find a mirror and figure out why And here's what I would say And you and I've talked about this before I do believe these people all Had a And you and I have talked about this before. I do believe these people all had a dream and a lust to have their hand raised or to get the trophy or be number one or, you know, like, I'll put it to you this way. You ready?
Starting point is 00:12:19 There's a book called The True Believer that talks about exactly this. So go ahead. So here's, let's see if we can break this down. Everybody has an innate wiring to want to have that photo op where you're sort of Muhammad Ali with the hands up in front of the in front of the vanquished opponent, you know, at your at your feet, you know, you think about these sort of iconic moments, right? And we'll do it. We'll just do it through the lens part in the pun of photography. You know what I mean? Muhammad Ali, when he did, I'm trying to think, I'm looking at Joe, his most iconic thing when he did his dance over... Joe Lovis? I think it was Sonny Liston.
Starting point is 00:13:12 Oh. He was over... It was real brief what he did with his hands. Yeah, just threw them up. They captured it real fast, but it wasn't just holding up. He did... I'm trying to think, what was it, Joe? What was the hand?
Starting point is 00:13:23 What's the iconic poster? Oh, fist, fist. Sort of like? What was the hand, what's the iconic poster? Oh, fist, fist. Yeah, fist down. Yeah, coming across his waist almost like that. All right, okay, there's that. It was very brief though, he brought, they grabbed it. Anyway, raising the flag Mount Sarabachi.
Starting point is 00:13:38 You know what I mean? Any Stanley Cup picture with a guy, yeah, that's the picture and when you watch the film of it Yeah, it happened Instantaneously, but okay. Let's not get my on this. Okay. Are you with so sit back and dig this would you please? Yeah, don't look at the picture take the picture Forgot that was in color. Okay, I do too Okay, so we want that
Starting point is 00:14:03 moment Okay, so we want that moment. You want that moment? You may be the moment of Trump holding his fist up with the bloody ear or Muhammad Ali, whatever. We all want it. We all want it. So everybody wants it because when every kid is eight years old, they reenact it. They get a fake heavyweight belt made out of a paper plate, you know, and they do the shuffle They do the mahamaha. They do the michael jordan, you know dunk from the free throw line Everyone does everyone maybe the girl does the beauty queen stuff or whatever. Whatever that thing is Ice skating I but but they are ice skating But yes, what i'm saying they give the fake academy awards speech speech, oh you love me, you really love me, right? Okay. Then at a certain point, it becomes
Starting point is 00:14:52 apparent that none of those moments are gonna be realized in your ordinary life. Yeah. Even an above ordinary life, you're still not going to realize those moments, you know, up on the podium spraying champagne after the big victory. Not only done it three or four times, but the point is this, those aren't going to be realized in your life. Okay, so now we got a choice because we like those moments. Well, you can go get a Michael Jordan jersey and you can watch him play. And then you can get very much into the bulls of Michael Jordan and buys tennis shoes,
Starting point is 00:15:30 which most people do. And it kind of satiates and you have your team and you cheer and that's it. That's where that goes. And you become, you watch USA and the hockey team wins USA, you know and and that's most others smaller group Will strive to join the the ranks, you know I mean like I'm gonna get up at 4 a.m And hit the pool and swim as hard as I can so I can make the Olympic team, you know And maybe I got promise and maybe I can do that, you know, I'm gonna play high school football One day I'll be in the Pro Bowl." And so that stuff fizzles out,
Starting point is 00:16:07 time kind of weeds it out. But even those guys might start to still compete on their own level, on a realistic level and have these moments of virtue. Yeah, you'd have the over 40 basketball league or something like that. It's the same feeling, it's just not on the same scale. It satiates, you know. It's something. I mean, I can tell you that, you know, go down to Willow Springs and have a track day with your friends and their sports cars.
Starting point is 00:16:34 And it's fun. It's fun. But it's not a race. The race is a different thing. And it's a, like, kind of next level. And you do go, oh, that's the next... This is a real race. First, it's a fun spirited afternoon with your friends and whatever, but it's good. It's all good. Then there's my mom. She can't do what the first part of it was, and she doesn't wanna
Starting point is 00:17:06 of it was, and she doesn't want to try, you know, the effort. And look, it's early mornings, it's a lot of work, or you got to go down to the track day, it's expensive, you know, like whatever, it's work, it's expense. All right, so then what do you do? You have to do something, so what you do is you attack it, which is what we see more and more in this country just sort of about the system. You somehow can't flourish in this system. And instead of digesting that and really kind of looking in the mirror and going, I'm not flourishing in a system where I see people around me flourishing constantly, I will then
Starting point is 00:17:44 attack that. And then we will find politicians who help me in that journey by sort of ratifying these feelings. They do, they form little groups of people like that. They massage each other. Again, this book, The True Believer, the guy observes all this stuff, and he sort of ascribes it to an adolescent mindset.
Starting point is 00:18:10 Yes, it is. Sort of misfit slash adolescent. And if you stay adolescent, yeah, you're gonna maintain these, and it's sort of interesting. It kind of describes the millennial group, which had difficulty getting out of adolescence. Yeah, I'll give you another,
Starting point is 00:18:24 I'll give you a funny, I think a funnier example, family best. We'll take a quick break, do that right after this. Hey, it's Adam Kroll from the Adam Kroll Show.

Except for the Corollas have a lot of problems in the discipline department. They can't do stuff. You know what I mean? And he so much just kind of admitted it to me at the end. Like, you know, I talk about his friend Ronnie plays in the Philadelphia Philharmonic and he plays the clarinet and he, you know, was a friend of his and blah,
Starting point is 00:23:10 blah, blah. And I just stuck at some point, I just went, I don't get it. Why aren't you just a professional trumpet player? If that's all, that's all you talk about. You know what I mean? Should you practice more? Like, shouldn't you have gotten up and did the work? Hit the scales every day for an hour, and really? Oh, just the scales, and then go work out past that. And it kind of went like, yeah, I didn't, I never, I didn't take it, I didn't. He's not gonna get up and do the work, is what I'm saying.
Starting point is 00:23:45 Okay, he loved the idea of being Dizzy Gillespie. He didn't like the idea of putting in all the work, but he did like the idea of being Dizzy Gillespie. So what would he do? Well, he would just bring his trumpet to every family Christmas, whatever thing Christmas, you know, whatever thing. And then at some point after dessert at Thanksgiving, would fold a chair out and sort of clumsily play the trumpet in front of nine people who were sort of feigning polite interest.
Starting point is 00:24:16 You know what I mean? It's like, because he didn't, he couldn't get nine people to buy a ticket to come off the street to watch him play the trumpet He he needed his audience, you know to be captive Yeah, so he could do it. And so what was he doing? Well, he was satiating this little part of him that wanted this thing But didn't we didn't want to do the real, you know, it's like. It reminds me that we need to bring shame back.
Starting point is 00:24:47 Well, it's like. You're just a disappointment. It's like, it's like. You have the nine year old boy doing the Ollie shuffle, right? Wake him up the following morning at five a.m. and go, come on, we're doing road work. We're doing road work.
Starting point is 00:25:01 And it's freezing outside. Yeah, we're doing road work. I'm gonna ride in front of you on my moped and you're gonna just go, we're doing road work. I'm going to ride in front of you on my moped, and you're going to just go, we're doing seven miles. He's out. Yeah. Right? The night before, he's having a fun time
Starting point is 00:25:13 doing the Ollie shuffle. The road work morning, he's out. Right? So that cuts a lot of those people out. Now, my dad wanted to show up at the party and do the Ollie shuffle sort of thing. You know what I mean? But not ever really put the work in.
Starting point is 00:25:29 You and I were talking the other day that a lot of people are disappointments. And they've got to do enough self-assessing to come to terms with that because they can change it. They don't have to be a disappointment. That's the thing. Your mom didn't have to be a disappointment. That's the thing. Your mom didn't have to be a disappointment. If somebody had really motivated her and made her look in the mirror, it's not mental health to cave in like that. What do you mean?
Starting point is 00:25:55 It's not healthy mentally to feel so helpless and worthless and incapable and then let somebody reinforce that. Yeah, you're right, it is the system. If we just had communism, you'd be fine. Or something, you know what I mean? It's like, that's not health. It should be, yeah, yeah, get it together. Let's talk about how you can do that.
Starting point is 00:26:15 Let's just- Well, get it together, yeah, that's a big problem. Let's go, let's motivate people. Don't be a disappointment. It's okay to, it's not, it's the opposite of Wawa Webzee. You should love this idea. Yeah, I'm looking at you, Joe and Byron, because I believe at the very beginning,
Starting point is 00:26:34 maybe first chapter of In 50 Years We'll All Be Chicks, I sort of explain what we did with the gym ropes. And remember the old ropes at the gymnasium? And anybody of a certain age remembers those. I think in my first book, like right up top, you'll sort of see what I was talking about. But yes, so here's what we did. We told the people you don't need to do anything you don't want to do,
Starting point is 00:27:11 and you have to do what feels best all the time and you know so on and so forth. That's the opposite of everything healthy. Right. And then when guys like me showed up and said what what's going on? Get busy. What are we doing here? I then got yelled at by a chorus of those people. But as much as you want to talk about this or you don't like to talk about it or whatever, it's essentially chick think. It is because it was the woman's role was this and the dad's role is to come in and go, pull yourself up by your own boots. That's the dad's role, then it's the mom's role, right? We decided that the dad needed to shut up and that the mom was always right. And that's what this is. I can't read it well because we have some cords in front of us.
Starting point is 00:28:04 I kind of got it. Somebody decided the ropes needed to be removed. Sparing the kids the rod is a good thing. Sparing them the rope is a horrible idea. We should put... Wait, there's probably something preamble to this. We should put lardo on the rope. Hold on, Drew.
Starting point is 00:28:19 Don't jump down the page three paragraphs. Start it at the top and let's see what we got here. Something about kicking somebody in the nuts. It's not anything we've added that's ruined our kids. It's stuff we've gotten rid of. First thing, let me start. All right, let's see. I, okay.
Starting point is 00:28:40 Yep, all right, so basically what I'm saying is, is everyone wants to know what's wrong. Video games, pornography, too much TV. Yeah, all right. So basically I'm saying is is everyone wants to know what's wrong the we video games pornography Too much TV. So I'm basically saying it's not what we've added. It's what we got rid of You know what I'm saying? You're like these kids are playing too many violent video games. That's not what's fucking them up We got rid of the gym rope. Yeah. Yeah, that's what's fucking them up. Sorry. You may read now So did you want me to read the whole paragraph? them up. Sorry, you may read now. Sorry. Hey, do you want me to read the whole paragraph? The gym rope that stretched from the floor to the ceiling in your gym class.
Starting point is 00:29:08 And don't power through the way you normally do. First thing was the gym rope. Remember that thing that stretched from the floor to the ceiling in your gym class that you could never climb? That constant reminder that you were inferior. It's the only apparatus I'm aware of that makes it impossible for you to be ridiculed while people stare at your nuts. Wait, makes it impossible? Makes it possible. Well that changes that one a little. That joke's a little bit.
Starting point is 00:29:30 While people stare at you. Most of the kids couldn't make it up to the top, but that wasn't the point. The point was you had to try while some middle-aged guy in a windbreaker who couldn't make it up a flight of stairs yelled at you. At some point somebody decided the ropes needed to be removed. Sparing the kids the rod is a good thing. Sparing the rope is a horrible idea. We should have put Lardo on that rope, given him a three Mississippi head start and then sent a subway rat scurrying after him, but we didn't want to shame the boys so we took them all down, gave everyone a participation trophy and a pamphlet on secondhand smoke
Starting point is 00:30:05 and sent them to a cultural diversity seminar. Taking down the rope would be a capital idea if there were no ropes in life, but they're everywhere. You just can't see them. They're in the workplace. They're in relationships. They're in every goal, unrealized and expectation not met. The point everyone missed about the rope is you weren't
Starting point is 00:30:25 supposed to make it up to the top. It was there to create a fire that burned in the oversized belly of every kid who couldn't shimmy up it. A fire that has now been forever extinguished with stuffed crust pizza and Mountain Dew. All right, well that's what I'm saying. I feel like we should would you put that on your Instagram that paragraph there? Can you it's fifth god. It's that thing's 15 years old now. Yeah, but you were you were off by 35 years I know I know I'll make a note you want that page on my Instagram. Yeah, I don't know. How do you do an Instagram? Well Byron can do it. Yes, sir.
Starting point is 00:31:06 And tag me, please. Then I'll put it to my stories and stuff. My pleasure. Yeah, look, not rocket science, any of this stuff. Just basic stuff. And I've been telling people about this, but to be fair or to be accurate, women I've been arguing with this about mainly
Starting point is 00:31:24 over the last 20 years. But why now is the world sort of open to this? Why can we do this now and it's just now it's from on high. All right, but far be it for me to compare women to jihadist terrorists. But here we go. But here we go.
Starting point is 00:31:42 Remember Europe? Europe was like, just let these nice folks from the Middle East in. They wanna come here and assimilate and start a new life and enjoy our fine Parisian bread. Fast forward 20 years, what's going on? Well, they're doing what they're gonna do. Why wouldn't they do it?
Starting point is 00:32:04 You know what I mean? Take the beavers, put them on the roof of the Empire State Building. What'd they do? They start looking for wood. Africanized killer bees don't come over here and start being docile honey bees. They're killer bees.
Starting point is 00:32:18 Take carpenter ants and put them anywhere. They just start doing what they're doing. Now, you can judge, is that good, is that bad? I'm not saying even to judge. I'm just saying why are you surprised when they're just doing what they're doing? You know like we have and Paris reminded me of Paris because I liked a tweet that Joe might be able to find and maybe the first second show. I liked it this morning pretty early. I think I remember seeing it. But somebody was showing a sort of outdoor bizarre and Middle Eastern people selling goods
Starting point is 00:32:52 and foods and whatever on the street. They went, this is Paris, can you believe it? And it's like, I can with these people. That's what they do. Now. Take a picture on certain parts of Los Angeles and compare it to any street in Mexico Right so so when we'll we'll hold the tape for a second Joe
Starting point is 00:33:13 No, show it show it a little later And this was more where they were had umbrellas and stuff set up, but my point is this When I was 16 I went to Tijuana The six day I went to Tijuana walked around and was 16, I went to Tijuana, walked around, and they have the little three-year-old kids selling chicklets and the guy selling, not the hot dogs, by the way, they were selling the tacos on the street,
Starting point is 00:33:31 but everything's out on the street, and they're selling shit out on the street, pinatas and whatever, and you go, okay, that's Mexico, that's what they do. Okay, well then you open the border, and then at some point Los Angeles becomes predominantly Mexican, and then you drive through
Starting point is 00:33:46 LA and that's what you see because that's what's going to happen because why wouldn't it? That's their culture and hey sorry Germany that there's a mosque on every corner now and I'm sorry Paris that it now looks more Middle Eastern than it does Parisian. You let it in and that's what they're doing. Okay, you decide that women are sort of the light and the answer and evolved and this is the direction we need to go and we need to steer it more toward that and get away from the old-school sort of general patent kind of you know rough and tumble football coach kind of approach and then we need to steer into a little more of that and then what are we gonna have? Well that's what we're gonna have. So again don't even do the part where you
Starting point is 00:34:34 judge it although I don't like people selling shit on the street and I don't like terrorist attacks and I don't like super selling shit on the street, and I don't like terrorist attacks, and I don't like super weak dudes with lots of allergies that blame everyone but themselves. But open it up to that, embrace that, and then you tell me why it shouldn't end up there. And what we did is that's what we did with sort of feminism We even added another layer which is you know this country used to absorb all kinds of cultures and people by having a common Culture and a common history and a common idea Look we don't we don't like this kind of talk, but we force them to assimilate
Starting point is 00:35:27 Essentially yeah, yeah for their own good. Well, look, here's the language learn it. Yeah, that's how you can flourish here Yeah, now it will teach you your own language in the Separate pretty cool DMV in Los Angeles has their drivers test like a hundred and fifty seven languages I mean like seriously I first I didn't know there's more than like eleven I or I only know from the Rosetta Stone commercial that there's even more than than 20 but my look Point is this It's not gonna go any other way. So if you say Well, let's not call these people homeless Let's call them unhoused, you know, and let's not call them junkies. Let's call them formally housed. Well
Starting point is 00:36:04 You're gonna have a lot more junkies sleeping in the street. Well, here's a thought we'll get into the next show. Yeah, we gotta do fires too. Fires, fires, fire! All right, we'll put a pin in this one, but we'll be back tomorrow, everyone. Solana Beach coming up this Sunday.
