Starting point is 00:00:00 Welcome back to the Adam and Dr. Drew Show Classics. First up for today, episode 408, released September 7th, 2016, titled, Does Anyone Ever Tap These People on the Shoulder? Adam and Drew opened things up with Adam recounting a nonsensical interview he heard between Doug McIntyre and California Assemblywoman Cheryl Brown about business leaving the state. Good day, Drew. Good day, sir. We were talking about Wheelie Mobile's last show. It was the backup pickup I was trying to think of.
Starting point is 00:00:35 I don't know gay slang. Let's just keep on topic here. We're talking about quarter-mile machines here. Let's keep going. I don't know why this just popped into mind but um uh you know you and i always sort of talk about that uh part where nobody knows where you're heading like where one human doesn't sort of know where you're heading conversationally i've got a little bit of that too, right? You do, but that's anxiety.
Starting point is 00:01:08 It must be rare too because you get upset when I do it. So go ahead. You have anxiety. Yes, I do. One thing that I've – so there's this thing and I'll have Gary look it up. Let's see. You're on KBC out here, right? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:01:23 Who does your morning show? Not the morning show. Who's on at 9? Peter Tilden. Oh, is it Peter Tilden? Yeah, or it's Doug and T-Ray. I think it's Doug. Doug McIntyre.
Starting point is 00:01:35 Doug McIntyre, yeah. It's funny. He was interviewing a local councilwoman last week. I think it was on Wednesday, Gary. Could have been Tuesday. Let's see. No, I think it was Wednesday. It was Wednesday.
Starting point is 00:01:50 It was a councilwoman. And she was lamenting all the jobs that had been lost because of Wicks Furniture or whatever moving to Texas or whatever it is. Ashley Furniture moving to Texas. to Texas or whatever it is. Ashley Furniture moving to Texas. And he started to go down this road,
Starting point is 00:02:13 and he was explaining that, you know, back in the day, that he knew somebody who bought something out of Kansas or whatever it was, and she just completely lost track of exactly where he was going to make her point and all the jobs being lost in california and blah blah blah and she went down the wrong yes path with him but then have you and we're getting used to i mean we're i just sort of popped in my mind but you hear uh donald trump speak and you go oh boy and then you hear hillary clinton speak and you go oh boy boy. And then you hear Hillary Clinton speak and you go, oh boy. Because they're trying to ask Hillary questions and she's not answering the questions.
Starting point is 00:02:52 Now, as far as politicians go, look, if you're just going to go, you're going to make it the military. You're just going to go, you're going to make it the military. When you're going for president, you're an admiral. You're a four-star general. You know what I mean? You're not a private in this man's army. Okay. Have you heard what a lot of these, and it's a weird new breed, and I think it's mainly a California thing. We have these nut jobs like Loretta Sanchez and stuff like that.
Starting point is 00:03:26 They sound like really stupid friends of your mom's trying to talk when you were in high school. They're not articulate, but they seem sort of dim. They seem a little dim and a little out of it, and they're not good orators. You know what I mean? They don't even have a command over anything. You know what I mean? Like, they don't even have a command over anything. You know what I mean? Like, we had Antonio Villaraigosa. That guy didn't have command over the language.
Starting point is 00:03:51 Like, at the local level. I mean, you laugh all you want about Trump. Wait till you get down to the local guys. They don't really even seem to track a lot of the times when they're speaking about homeless problems or whatever it is. times when they're speaking about homeless problems or whatever whatever it is i does that say much about them or about us that we don't notice it that we're not making anything of it we used to i just used to assume that politicians were like well he's the wise man of the land who's probably some guys ran a few businesses and now he's independently wealthy and his kids are off to harvard and brown and he's going to now turn his
Starting point is 00:04:25 attention toward local government oh no i didn't know it was like a whole class of just fucking dingbats like they're they're dingy but you know what was the ant on sanford and son oh well that what was her name and that's waters yeah no no no no maxine waters out here oh you guys might know her nationally maxine waters is like on esther from sanford so she seems nuts but you know that but no here's what i'm saying you know the 55 to 60 year old woman who seems dingy when they're talking yeah doesn't seem to track very well, doesn't seem to have a command over anything. I always think of it as they think they know what they're saying,
Starting point is 00:05:10 but they're not really saying anything. That's what I always think of. Because when I'm interviewing them on the radio and stuff, I always have to go, okay, so what you're saying is, or let's focus it in on this. I think I heard you say that. They don't know what they sound like. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:05:26 Like when I think somebody was saying, or they just have their talking points. And, you know, I think it's what's called a shibboleth. Empty slogans. Yeah, Al Rantel or whoever was asking her about
Starting point is 00:05:41 losing jobs and how home ownership is down. And she's like, a lot of the elderly community has lost their home. And he's like, I'm not talking about the elderly community. I'm talking about, well, but the elderly community is a big – and it's like, I don't even know what you're talking about, nut job. But in a way, obfuscation is the name of the game, right? So you don't know if they're obfuscating or they really don't know what they're talking about.
Starting point is 00:06:03 It's an interesting sort of dilemma to try to figure it out. I mean. Right? I guess. I don't. I do. I am. I would argue when you were interviewing, what's his name?
Starting point is 00:06:18 Gavin Newsom. Gavin Newsom. He was obfuscating and kind of didn't sound like it. But he knew what he was talking about. But he was obfuscating. and kind of didn't sound like it, but he knew what he was talking about, but he was obfuscating.
Starting point is 00:06:27 Well, Gavin Newsom can at least, he strings a sentence together and sounds like he knows what he's talking about, even if nothing's coming out of his mouth. All right, I'm sorry I didn't give Gary any heads up at all on this one at all. He releases his show as a podcast. It's in the 9 o'clock hour. I have the right show.
Starting point is 00:06:47 I know that this is the right guest, but it's 32 minutes. Who is he speaking to? Representative Cheryl Brown, I believe. I don't have my glasses on. Yeah, that sounds good. I think it's Cheryl Brown. Yes. And he started talking to her about Ashley Furniture.
Starting point is 00:07:00 Let me just kind of start it from where... It seemed like it was toward the beginning, and we can just listen to it. This is Doug. Yeah, this is Doug. He's on your station. Hey, JBC. 790.
Starting point is 00:07:09 Yeah, we'll see if we stumble across it. It's funny because I was like, he was trying to make her case and go down this road, and she got completely lost. And by the way, Doug is a super clear speaker and thinker, too. How are you this morning? I'm okay. This is a problem. And, you know, we've covered this here for years and years and years, Assemblywoman. We have the Film LA people on all the time, and we've talked endlessly about, you know,
Starting point is 00:07:35 tax credits and incentives to keep television, film, and production in California. And I'm all in favor of that. But we ask every time, why doesn't that same standard apply to all businesses? Why are we cherry-picking what businesses we like and businesses we don't like? You know, that's a $64,000 question. I think that what happens is with manufacturing, first of all, let's go back and look at what we have in California. We have different sectors. In Northern California, you have clean tech.
Starting point is 00:08:10 You have tech companies. In the middle part of California or out in Bakersfield and Fresno area, inland, but you have more dairy, more rural, more agriculture. Hold on. He's not right there. Remember when we talked about how we just don't know how to talk? Yeah. We got more cow things over there towards the middle and then cool transistor stuff
Starting point is 00:08:42 over at the other end. And you're like, dairy. Oh, yeah, yeah, dairy. Thank you. Thank you for filling my head with a word. All right, sorry. But when you think of Central California, you think of the dairy industry? No.
Starting point is 00:08:53 Yeah, okay. But go ahead. In our area, you have logistics. Logistics. And logistics is one of the issues, I think, that creates problems because of the issues I think that creates problems because of the environment. We have to find some middle ground because I think what's happening here...
Starting point is 00:09:11 First off, I never heard this part, but thank you for making my point, Queen Dingbat. I have no fucking idea what you're talking about. Do you know what she's talking about? Logistics? Middle ground? I was merely making a point
Starting point is 00:09:24 that these people sound brain dead. These are the people that are running the seventh largest economy in the world, and they can't string together a coherent thought. Logistics are creating a problem with pollution? Logistics? I don't, I, again. I thought logistics was like information technology. We're attempting to piece together her thoughts,
Starting point is 00:09:42 but because she can't seem to string together a thought, we have no idea what she's fucking talking about. But we'll keep going until we get to my Ashley Furniture part, which is funny. We are taxing people. And I don't know. I don't know what the answer is going to be. But I think that the legislature has to have more oversight over the regulators. I think that the legislature has to have more oversight over the regulators.
Starting point is 00:10:13 And I think that we need to come to a situation of where everyone has to understand that people still have to feed their families. Well, I couldn't agree more. Hold on. Listen. Don King, if you woke him up in the middle of the night, could have given you a drunk, could have given you a better answer. Drew, on a 1 to 10 answer scale, Gavin Newsom being 1. No, actually, Gavin Newsom was a 3. Yeah, okay.
Starting point is 00:10:30 That was a big fat 0 of nothingness. That was a soliloquy about nothing. By logistics, I think she means like supply chain, like rail and sea. Well, it's hard to tell because she doesn't speak English. She speaks Japanese. Why would you pick logistics here? Why would you pick supply chain?
Starting point is 00:10:48 I don't know. But unless their families need to put food on the table, Joe. I think Al was asking about that, wasn't he? Doug. I mean, Doug. Sorry. Doug Rantel. Doug McIntosh.
Starting point is 00:10:58 Oh, there's Al Rantel and then there's Doug McIntosh. Oh, my God. Sorry. Wow. That's really something. It's frightening. I didn't even hear this part. I'm glad she made my point, by the way.
Starting point is 00:11:11 All right. Give me her name one more time, Gary. You can just write it on the screen. But the point is, nobody could have illustrated my point any better than that, right? Yeah. Cheryl Brown could not have illustrated my point of these politicians. Am I making this up, Gary? They sound like dizzy nut...
Starting point is 00:11:28 It sounded like your mom's dumbest friend on half a bottle of Chardonnay, and you asked her the difference between American rules football and Australian rules football, and she's like, well, now, hold on. I didn't even know what that was. You didn't know what that was?
Starting point is 00:11:43 No. You're saying it gets worse, too. You're saying it gets worse, too. I just threw it in a part. You're saying it gets worse, too. That's their opening volley. One question. I didn't even hear this part. And up next, we have episode 1356, released December 2nd, 2020, titled The Freedom is in Lack of Control.
Starting point is 00:12:08 Adam and Dr. Drew discuss control as it relates to COVID protocols. And Drew points out the parallels to surrendering during substance abuse recovery. I have a concept for you, Drew. I'm ready. A concept. Sounds heady. Well, here's a wire. So look, all this stuff, whatever we're talking about,
Starting point is 00:12:30 politics, elections, COVID, COVID response, are you for the shutdowns? Are you against it? How do you feel about people in masks? What about people not wearing masks? What about when you're wearing a mask and someone passes you without a mask? How do you address it? What about all the're wearing a mask and someone passes you without a mask? And how do you do you address it?
Starting point is 00:12:47 What about, you know, all the stuff, stuff coming into the house, wiping stuff down? Where have you been? Wash your clothing. I get it. All right. Here's now we can talk about all this stuff from a medical standpoint. Yes. But it's not worth it and i'll tell you why because
Starting point is 00:13:09 half the shit makes sense and then half the shit doesn't make sense right right i i come home from work and i wash all my clothing and then i wipe down all the seats in my home so i don't sit on the that that that makes no medical sense. No medical sense. Half the shit we're doing makes no medical sense. True. So why are we doing it? And then why are some people greatly concerned about something that has no scientific value whatsoever versus, you know, I just flew on a plane. First, I get I'm laying back in my seat. The mask is around my mouth.
Starting point is 00:13:48 My nose is hanging out. I get yelled at to pull the mask up. Ten minutes later, I'm handed a snack pack and a drink, and the mask comes right down. Okay, there's nothing to this. Okay, fine. So, do not interrupt. What is going on?
Starting point is 00:14:01 So do not interrupt. What is going on? What is this? What is this chasm between people like me and the other people I know who are so vastly and greatly concerned about everything? Or we had the caller from the last show about, you know, my in-laws. I want to come into town, but I don't want them to come into town because they're elderly and they come from a place that's, you know, 19% and we're 9%, you know, all this shit, right? Where's it all come from? Control.
Starting point is 00:14:31 Okay. Okay. The same gene in me, the same gene in me that can, about four years ago, bought this 4.8 million dollar porsche 935 and everyone told me it's a rear end rear engine twin turbo beast that is the biggest handful to drive out all the vintage cars you can you can drive this car and you could drive that car but not the 935 that's the fucking widow maker and only the most experience can handle that car don't tell that to mr corolla no i said uh well i guess i i guess i should have someone help me learn how to drive this car, which I've never driven before.
Starting point is 00:15:27 All the cars I drove were front-engine cars, and a lot of them little dots and 510s and some big twin. And is it that you can't keep the rear? The rear, once it breaks loose, and I did this the last time I raced it. When the fucking rear breaks loose, it just snaps. You can't get it back. No way. Yeah. But you don't, you got to know where the edge is.
Starting point is 00:15:52 Yeah. And I don't know where the edge is. Still. Or at that point, you didn't. Well, I found out at the last look. Well, that's how you become somebody who can drive that car. Right? I guess.
Starting point is 00:16:03 I was probably, I was pushing a little too hard. But anyway, look, I've driven the car four or five times. I understand the car, but I still don't know where the real edge is. Exactly, yeah, yeah. And the guys that are really fast go right up to the edge. Yeah. And the guys who are slower stop before they get away a little bit before they get to that edge right and so they're driving nine tenths and i'm driving eight seven tenths and that's the difference in lap
Starting point is 00:16:33 times but anyway um so i dropped the car off after i bought it at a specialist and i said you know check it out you know uh dig Well, you got to change all the fluids. You got to check all the cambers and suspension. You got to dial the thing in, you know. So I did that. And then I said, why don't you meet me up at Laguna. Oh, sorry. Why don't you meet me up at Sears Point, which is, oh, God.
Starting point is 00:17:09 Whatever. We get it. Sonoma. Meet me at Sonoma. Sonoma's a big technical track. And I said, why don't you meet me there, and you'll have one of your professional drivers or vintage drivers, knows the 935 backward and forward and then uh put a passenger seat in the car and uh and let's let's do some laps and the guy said okay and uh so we met him over there and he fired up this beast on this again Sonoma is a big technical track with some aspects of it where there's some concrete barriers and shit that you just don't want to get into.
Starting point is 00:17:55 And he fired it up and he said, hop in. And I hopped in, and this guy took this Porsche 935, and he just drove the shit out of it with me just sitting there as the passenger. I just sat there as a passenger like I was a rag doll. Like I just sat. I don't mean thrown around. I just sat there. My heart wasn't even beating.
Starting point is 00:18:20 I just belted in. Just sat there. I wasn't grabbing anything or white-kn I belted in. Just sat there. I wasn't grabbing anything or white knuckling or anything. It was like. Reminds me of Leno when he spun the Hemi underglass. Right. So it's like, rolled it. Rolled it, yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:36 So I was like, this guy has control of this car. I don't have control of this car. And it's not going to do me any good to dig my nails into the dashboard. I have to sit here and try to regulate, and I'd like to take in what he's doing, what his techniques are and what he's saying and what he wants. Although you couldn't hear anything. Now, a lot of people can't do that. They're horrible passengers. Most people would rather drive a race car than be a passenger in a race car.
Starting point is 00:19:10 Passenger in a race car freaks out a lot of people. Even drivers don't want to be a passenger in a race car. So then how does that result to COVID? Well, for me, it's I don't control this stuff. I have no control over it. And you can talk about all the stuff you want to do, spritzing everything down with Lysol and, you know, leaving your shoes at the door and burning your clothes and all the shit you're talking about doing.
Starting point is 00:19:43 But I got to fly. I got to doing, but I got to fly. I got to do shows. I got to travel. I got to go to work. But what if – So I can't control it. I understand what you're saying, and you're right. However, imagine the people that are needing to feel like they're in control.
Starting point is 00:20:00 Imagine you're in the driver's seat of this – I mean the pastor's seat of this race race car and into your headphones is going, this guy doesn't know what the hell he's doing. It's death around every corner. I guarantee you there's a 20% probability you're going to die. Let me show you some footage of people dying on this track. Right. That's what we're doing to people. Right. Well, that's why you got to turn that.
Starting point is 00:20:19 That's part of it. That's part of the passenger, though. I get it. I get it. But that's what we but they don't know that they are being fed this shit i i got a whole no i that but what i'm saying is forget about that my wiring is i don't control this and that's a freedom i have freedom in my lack of control people think they have freedom by they think they're gonna no you're right they're gonna
Starting point is 00:20:44 wrestle freedom down by controlling everything and you can't control it. The first thing we do when people are recovering from alcoholism and addiction, let go. You're powerless. Because the controlling is narcissistic and the way the patients
Starting point is 00:20:59 describe it when they recover, it's like, hey man, I felt like a piece of shit around which the whole world revolved. Right. Think about that. I always love that. You're trying to carry the world on your shoulders and you can't and you feel like you have to. That is an extremely mentally unhealthy position. Job one, getting over drug addiction, letting go, run up the flag. That's what I'm saying. It's the exact opposite of what people would think, which is. Well, everything's exact. Right.
Starting point is 00:21:28 Everything's. It's like it's like surrender and exposure. Those are things we need for mental health instead of hiding and offended and controlling and preoccupied. The freedom is in the lack of control or the letting go. And that, for me, when I'm sitting there as the passenger, I'm never freer because there is nothing I can do. So we have lots of good calls up there. A lot of those calls are going to dovetail the things I want to talk about. All right.
Starting point is 00:22:05 Gary, you can find me spinning that Porsche out because Drew wants to have a no i remember it i saw it okay yeah probably i don't know if there's anything from me testing the car in sonoma what i what i liked about the spin out is you don't react there's nothing i could do you're on that you're on the... No, even at the peak of terror. Yeah. You know, 100... I couldn't tell you were terrified. No, I'm not. What I'm saying is...
Starting point is 00:22:32 There it is. I'm saying at 120 miles an hour going backwards in the middle of a track with 50 other cars out there, there's still nothing I could do. Yeah, you just let go. Yes. And that's a kind of a freedom. Absolutely. We'll be right back with more of the Adam and Dr. Drew Show classics.
Starting point is 00:22:59 Last up for today, we have episode 818, released May 2nd, 2018, titled Be the Best Street Sweeper You Can Be. Adam goes off on the multi-billion dollar grift that makes up the health and beauty industry after reading an article that discourages daily scrubbing. So I was telling you about that article that everyone's – a few different versions of people. These things have been coming out a lot, but don't shower so much and stop scrubbing everything all the time. Daily shower isn't necessary. Bathing isn't necessary. Bathing every day could increase your risk of infections. Warn experts that reveal how many times you should wash.
Starting point is 00:23:46 Now, wait a minute. In this headline, there's a little sort of abstract underneath the headline. Daily showers is necessary. But then it says bathing mainly removes odors rather than reducing people's risk of illness. So if the goal is reducing illness and bacterial sort of flora and flora of your gut, of your skin, no bueno. But reducing odor is yes. Well, you got no funk. That's true.
Starting point is 00:24:10 You don't have to worry about that part. Yeah. A lot of people got the funk. No, I get it. But there are many different things you can do to combat that, deodorant and sprays and a little nut sack powder and all that kind of stuff before you leave the house. I say the scrubbing. I've always known scrubbing is bad.
Starting point is 00:24:28 Like people get the soap going and they're like they're powering away like on themselves. I'm like that can't be. You're literally irritating. You're agitating like your face, your skin. It's like a little ecosystem like a coral reef or something. And you're fucking going at it. And why wouldn't that agitate? You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:24:50 And then also, what else in nature? You know what I mean? Like, you have your dog. And maybe you shampoo the dog a couple times a year or something like that. But that dog's not scrubbing away on itself all the time. Like what else in nature is scrubbing on itself so much? It's a weird thing where everyone is scrubbing away. And I know all you're doing is agitating and sort of interrupting the flora and fauna of
Starting point is 00:25:18 whatever that patch is. And then that skin then has to react. Like it has to go, I'm not in the state I was before this, and I'd like to get back there. So I'm going to start producing more of the sebum or whatever it is I'm pushing out of me to get back to where I was before you attacked me with the loofah. Right? Okay. It's weird knowing this and, like and fucking arguing with everyone. And also all the fucking assholes that are like, listen, I don't use shampoo. No, I don't.
Starting point is 00:25:55 Oh, gross. So gross. I like the imitation. What do you do with your hair? I just rinse it with hot water oh gross it's so gross first off that's mildly insulting and secondly fuck you asshole i know way more than all you all the time there's just no fucking possible way you're supposed to be shampooing your hair all the time i just thought fucking douse yourself in hot water for about 30 seconds and you're done. It's so weird.
Starting point is 00:26:31 I just love Purell, lip balm, fucking moisturizer. It's all. Also, you idiots don't realize this is a multi-billion dollar grift. It's a fucking multi-billion dollar grift aimed at chicks and dumb people. It's like, well, okay. First, you use the shampoo. That strips away all the, you know, okay, your hair's covered with toxins and proteins. That's stripped away.
Starting point is 00:26:59 Then we come in with the hot oil treatment. The hot oil treatment, that's restorative treatment. Then we focus on the roots. We have a special oil treatment, that's restorative treatment. Then we have, we focus on the roots. We have a special root cream that actually focuses on the roots. And we have, we have a night, well, there's a daytime cleanser
Starting point is 00:27:13 and then there's a nighttime regenerative cleanser that rejuvenates the skin. At night, your skin rejuvenates. So we put the rejuvenating cream on before you go to bed and then for the morning,
Starting point is 00:27:24 we have the morning mask. It's like all multi-kajillion dollar business, all aimed at dumb people who are like sort of wired like superstitious natives. No one ever really does the math. Can you tell the difference between my face, a man who's never used soap in his life, and someone who has some regimen where they're always constantly going at it with soap. First off, almost everything's genetic. Yes. Everything's genetic. Jesus Christ.
Starting point is 00:27:54 I used to sit around. When I was in high school, I was like, I had zits. What did you do? Did you eat fried chicken or something? Chocolates? Was it chocolate or chicken? Yeah, it's chicken or fried food. What did you do?
Starting point is 00:28:00 Chocolate? Was it chocolate or chicken? Yeah, it's chicken or fried food. What did you do? I sat next to a guy who ate an onion ring. Oh, there you go. Well, that's it. Well, that's it.
Starting point is 00:28:18 Because what happens is, and Drew, come on, this is just biology. You eat an onion ring. The onion ring is cooked in grease. So now you produce more grease, right? Could be. You fire it out of your pores and your cheeks, right? Yes. That's how it works when you eat a French fry?
Starting point is 00:28:33 Everything that goes in your stomach comes right out of your skin. It pushes out of your skin, right? Yeah, just a direct, there's like a pipeline. It's the stomach-to-skin pipeline. Right. It's built by the same guys who built the school-to-prison pipeline. Now, your stomach is closer to your inner thigh than it is your cheeks, but it still comes out of your cheeks, right? And never the top of your hands? Or your forehead.
Starting point is 00:28:49 Your forehead's where you get – that's where the fries? That's where the fries and the chocolate go. And then the chocolate. You're eating greasy food. Now, here's what I would recommend. You've got to scrub. You've got to scrub that forehead. You've got bacteria built up there. You need to go at it hard. Neutrogena. You got to scrub that forehead. You got bacteria built up there.
Starting point is 00:29:05 You need to go at it hard. Neutrogena. You see the Neutrogena? You see what color the soap is? It's clear. Oh. And see, hold it up to regular soap. If I dropped a pearl through it, would I see the pearl descend?
Starting point is 00:29:17 Yeah, that's another question. Do you know how many fucking shampoo commercials I've seen in my life? Do you know how many conversations I've had with women where I've went, listen to me. I've seen 2,000 studies. The $3 shampoo is exactly the same as the $17 shampoo. And they go, the Pantene with ProVitaZ works better for me, for my hair, because I have combination hair. They literally make up words.
Starting point is 00:29:45 They make up words for dumb people, and they go, Hey, this has Nugaritrol in it. And it's like with ProVitaZ and aloe. But by the way, the amount of whatever they put into it, like aloe or vitamin E, E vitamin or mullions or whatever, is minuscule. Do you understand? It's all minuscule. It's all the same and it's all geared toward dumb people.
Starting point is 00:30:11 Do you understand that the business that used to be just Prel and shampoo is now the supplement business? It's the same thing. It's just bled out into, quote, supplements. Yes. So. Yeah. I'm looking something up. And then we end it with things like, supplements. Yes. So. Yeah. I'm looking something up. And then we end it with things like, because I'm worth it.
Starting point is 00:30:29 Yeah. And you go, oh, Jesus fucking Christ. It's insane. It's insane, yeah. And I can't put, why are. Because we don't teach biology. We don't teach science. I don't.
Starting point is 00:30:40 I failed biology. You're sort of a scientist. I failed Mr. Delberti's class in the 10th grade. It was recommended that I take science. I recommend biology. You're sort of a scientist. I failed Mr. Delberti's class in the 10th grade. It was recommended that I take science. I was told last night to please help my daughter with her geometry homework, and I said I didn't get that far. I did math. I did not make it to geometry.
Starting point is 00:31:00 You did arithmetic. I did arithmetic. I did not do math. Now, if there's a bag of M&Ms that has 22 M&Ms in it. You're fine. And we remove five. Yeah. Or none of that.
Starting point is 00:31:16 If it's anything about distances, forget it. Right? You're good on distances. I would say nobody. D'Andrea. I mean, finally. or sorry, does anybody, I don't know that anybody knows what a space is more than me. I can look at anything and tell, they'll go, that's 18 inches. I'll go, no, that's 14 and a half, and it'll be 14 and a half.
Starting point is 00:31:39 I know exactly what spaces are. But did not take geometry and thus could not help my daughter. Oh, Jesus Christ, with the emails. From whom? Imagine if your parents could communicate directly with the teachers, faculty, and administration of the school constantly.
Starting point is 00:32:01 To be fair, I'm not sure it would have been that much well not with your parents that was then no i i know that was then but i'm saying like imagine if there was just a constant stream of drew's behind drew didn't turn in friday's assignment who drew we we'd ask you to please it's like it's a never-ending back and forth. And then what it leads to is 10, 15 at night, and Lynette's looking at her phone going, Natalia, did you turn in? And it's like, Jesus fucking Christ.
Starting point is 00:32:36 Could they just go to school, do their shit, and then go home? It's always this constant communication. And let me tell you something. That felt like always a personal relationship with the teachers, too. I'd hate to have somebody else intruded into it. You know what I mean? It's between me and the teacher, what I do or don't do. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:32:51 Yes. I agree. Yeah. Mainly about what I didn't do. But yeah, I didn't want Mr. Sontag or Mr. Spaeth telling my parents what I didn't do. Yeah. Who needs that? I don't need that.
Starting point is 00:33:01 Speaking of teachers. Or Ms. Komisar. Komisar. Adam. Das Komisar was actuallyar. Commissar. Adam. Das Commissar was actually a teacher. Old lady. Adam. All the girls love you, but do your parents hit you?
Starting point is 00:33:15 Oh. And I was like, no, Miss Commissar, they don't. You can tell me. I said, no, they don't. They don't hit me. I'm quite the opposite. I don't speak to them. Did you say that to her?
Starting point is 00:33:29 I was like, well, by the way, when your 73-year-old teachers, health teachers are accusing you of being battered, everything sounds defensive. Yeah, yeah. They're like, no, my defense is my dad's, my defense is, my dad's a puss. It's not like he's a nice guy. It's more like, I'd snap that old man like kindling. What are you talking about? I'm 200 pounds. I play on the football team.
Starting point is 00:33:54 He's a puss. No, like my argument was somewhere between he's a buck 40 sopping wet and he's not interested enough in his own family to. Right. And I'd kill him if he did. I would. But that would be a calorie burner for him, and he's taken a solemn oath never to burn calories. That's all for this week.
