Recorded live at Corolla One Studios with Adam Corolla and board certified physician
Starting point is 00:02:42 and addiction medicine specialist Dr. Drew Pinsky. You're listening to the Adam and Dr. Drew Show. Hey everybody, Superfan Giovanna here. Welcome to a very special 1,000th episode spectacular for the Adam and Dr. Drew Show. I'm here with producer Gary, man about Corolla Digital. How are you doing, Gary? I'm well, sir. How are you?
Starting point is 00:03:04 I'm wonderful. Thanks so much for inviting me to do this. We're doing a walk down memory lane of the Adam and Dr. Drew show. Adam and Drew, this is your show. There you go. A thousand episodes. We had to figure out something to mark the occasion and who better than Superfan Giovanni to take us back down memory lane through all the fun times. And as the very first guest of the Adam and Drew show, which we'll get to, it's very appropriate for me to be back.
Starting point is 00:03:29 The show started back in 2012, so we're up over six years now. It started originally like they do the other spin-off shows or they used to. Oh, that's weird. The audio's cut out. Okay, we're good now. It started like the other spin-off shows like ace on the house were the first few episodes aired in the ACS feed before They actually got their own feed Really I don't even remember that I mean I totally believe you but uh
Starting point is 00:03:53 God it's it's been a long run. I don't I don't even remember that I do remember when it was announced and it was right around the time that Mike Lynch left and he gave that show to Chris and I from the inception so this is a Mike Lynch left and he gave that show to Chris and I from the inception. So this is a special episode for me because although I've probably produced thousands of episodes of podcasts, this is the first one I can think of that I've been part of soup to nuts for a thousand. Your baby. Yeah, the original episodes, much like the first Ace in the House episodes, were Adam
Starting point is 00:04:19 Kroll's show format almost, but it was just Adam and Drew solo one-on-ones. And they put one out every week or two weeks. I think they did between like eight and twelve and then they started doing this new version of the show which started out as twice a week airing on Thursdays and Sundays the tent pole of the Love Line release schedule. Yep, yeah I remember those decisions. Yeah man it's been a hell of a ride and I think it's one of our better shows and it's surprising to me every time I hear someone who tells us, oh my god, I didn't know you
Starting point is 00:04:51 guys were back together. It's crazy. Adam and Drew seem particularly frustrated with that bizarre fact that people still don't know that, you know, where's Love Line? I miss you guys. What happened? I want Adam and Drew. I want the love between the two hosts.
Starting point is 00:05:04 Well, you can have it. Yes, you can. Every day. Yep, five days a week. And if you want to go back and get into the archive, Podcast One Premium has every single episode. You can go back to day one. You can listen to the full clips of what we're gonna be playing today. We have a choice selection of episodes that can represent the journey the show's taken since 2012. And I want to start with Adam and Drew's show, episode one. What do you remember about this, Gary? I remember being a little bit terrified.
Starting point is 00:05:31 You know, not necessarily that I wasn't capable of doing my job, but this was the first show that was, you know, Adam and Drew, much like you, I know you were a Loveline guy, I was Loveline guy. I used to, you know, secretly listen to Lovel Line in bed after my parents thought I was already asleep. So to be helming a show, episode one, with Adam and Dr. Drew, I felt quite a bit of responsibility not to screw it up, frankly. Yeah, I mean, this is what everybody wanted. So people were really sad when Love Line ended, actually when Adam left, Love Line carried on without him and eventually ended about ten years later. But they wanted more Adam and Drew, especially me, when Adam left, Love Line carried on without him and eventually ended about 10 years later.
Starting point is 00:06:05 But they wanted more Adam and Drew, especially me. When Adam's morning show started and I found out he was going to have a supporting cast the day I turned it on and there was no Dr. Drew. I'm like, why did they just have Drew? Come on. Why did they just do Drew? And finally our dream came true and the guys were reunited. This was recorded back in November of 2012.
Starting point is 00:06:23 It aired December 5th, 2012. Adam and Drew begin their new podcast series with stories about FUBU, journalistic integrity, and achieving the impossible. They also take your sex, drug, and relationship calls. Very good, you guys threw that in there. And in this select clip I have from title episode 001, Adam and Drew introduce the new show.
Starting point is 00:06:41 They talk to Gary and Chris. Drew gets reminded of Chris's real last name and Adam talks about FUBU's brand decline. So Gary, roll this clip. This is Corolla Digital. Recording 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 Drew Show. You asked for it. You got it. It's me and Dr. Drew asked for it. You got it.
Starting point is 00:07:25 It's me and Dr. Drew together once again. By popular demand. The first of many. So stay tuned, baby, because we're going to make this a regular dance. So good seeing you there, Dr. Drew. Good to be here. It's the start of a long... What is that saying from Casablanca?
Starting point is 00:07:44 A long relationship. A long, what is that saying from Casablanca? A long relationship? A long beautiful relationship or something like that. All right, couple things. We'll hear each other in a couple weeks. I had an interesting moment. Interesting psychologically, you tell me how you handle this. Just all the people who, all the employees out there that don't like doing their job. I pull up randomly to different places that I own with different people that I employ in different acts. I'm like different the warehouses and... Yeah, and you never... I'm not there that often and there's a pretty good chance I'm not going
Starting point is 00:08:19 to be there, but I do pull up. And so a a few moments ago I pulled up to the other warehouse and Gary not half-tard Gary the one who works here, but full-tard Gary the one who's working on the thing I pulled up and he was sitting in his car as I pulled up not not eating lunch or anything Just sitting in his car and Gary's an honest guy and I don't look at him as a guy is trying to rip me off So I pulled up and my first beat was, great, sitting in the car. Like here I am, it's the middle of the day, he's not eating lunch. Why are you sitting in your car? I'm assuming you're on the clock.
Starting point is 00:08:55 And then as I pulled up, and the worst thing you can do, now it's one of these things, it's interesting psychologically. The worst thing you can do is what Gary did, which is see me get out of the car and go back in to do whatever it is he should have been doing. See, when you're Gary or anyone who's sitting in the car when the boss pulls up, start doing something in your car that looks like it might fall under the heading of official business. Or break, or official break. Or yeah, tilt the seat back and just pop the collar on your shirt and just call it call the night
Starting point is 00:09:29 Yeah, don't do the oops you pulled up shit I got to get back to doing because I've now seen the process you see that's the whole thing see if I Pull up ten minutes later, and you're back in the shop Well, then we're fine Or if I pulled in ten minutes earlier, and you weren't in your car, the worst thing I can see is the transition. Yes, the, oh, you got me. Right. Gotcha, transition.
Starting point is 00:09:52 Now whether you're, you know, sitting in your car on the clock or you're trying to, you know, cop a few batteries from the corner drugstore, don't do a big flailing move as you're walking out of the place that draws attention to yourself. Now, as I pull up, Gary sees me and Gary gets out of the car and walks back into the place and then sort of gets busy. Now I can imagine what ensued. No, no, no. I did not.
Starting point is 00:10:19 I did not. I didn't ask him what he was doing. I know you did. I didn't want to shame him. I'm sure you gave the, ha ha, all right, Gary. No, no, I didn't ask him what he was doing. I know you did I didn't want to shame him, but I wanted I'm sure you gave that Alright Gary. No. No, I didn't give him anything. I just walked I just walked in and Saw him sort of busily Attempting to look busy once again But anyway again if the boss man pulls up and you're in a position
Starting point is 00:10:42 Stay there. Yeah, stay there for a while because then it seems like yeah, I saw I see a boss man pulls up and you're in a position. Stay there. Stay there for a while because then it seems like, yeah, I saw, I see a boss man. I'm doing whatever it is I'm supposed to be doing in here for a little while longer. Or even play it like, wow, but this looks bad. Yeah, that's a little bit. This looks bad, but I just took a five-minute break. He caught me in it. Geez. Here's what I did this morning.
Starting point is 00:11:01 Another decent one. All right. So Drew, you came over. You brought food. came over you brought food Brought you a Filipino food from a patient of mine to pay us our patients all morning and they brought in lumpia Chris look Chris. He's all into it. Oh, no, is that what you are? Maxipata? Wow Chris Maxipata His name locks him on uh-huh. Oh
Starting point is 00:11:22 You're Filipino part right. Part, right? Part. Part, full. Full. 100%. Mm. Oh, wow. Are those, are those, is that one of the good ones or the not good ones? Nurses. Oh, the nurses. Yeah. Oh, boy. Man. We got all kinds of nurses now. I gotta say, nurse, when I was visiting my dad in the hospital, his nurse was a new gender and a new nationality every single time I pulled into that place. It is wide open. It is not like what I'm saying is, when you go through LAX and you go through security at LAX, you know what to expect.
Starting point is 00:12:04 Not a lot of Swedes working that shift. Same thing at JFK. Not the same ethnicity, but a reliable one. But they're very reliable and you've certain jobs you've learned to rely on. As a matter of fact, at least in LA, if the terrorists ever light off a dirty bomb at like LAX It will take out at least three quarters of the black population of Los Angeles I do not believe we will have enough black people left to actually keep the race We'll have to import black folks because between the guys driving the shuttles and the guys working the bags and the guys working the security it it's pretty much it's it's it's FUBU over there for us by us baby you guys have a Filipino
Starting point is 00:12:55 FUBU now the P would be tough to pronounce you'd have to do a pH fill boo. Do you guys remember FUBU? Yeah, yeah. I don't think they're so hot anymore. What FUBU was popular seemed like about 10 years ago. It's like all the old black clothing company. It's been a couple weeks. I've been in here. Chris has already had enough of your shit. I know. I wonder have you been working hard? We do a lot of podcasts. That's why he's just yeah had an ass full you He was he's been going out doing live ones. Oh, that's so he's had enough of me Oh, I wonder I wonder if the whole Obama thing has taken the wind out of the sail of the FUBU
Starting point is 00:13:36 You know me because you need a little bit of it's us against the man But now once the one of you is the man. There's no more you against the man kind of thing. I'm gonna look into this fooboo. Let's see about buying some stock Alright, so anyway, where were we? Yeah. Oh ethnicities. Yeah, so now the the yeah A lot of Philip a lot of Filipino nurses, right? Why is that small fingers Chris? Why is that? I don't know. My mom's a nurse. Yeah, it's really... Wow! There you go.
Starting point is 00:14:08 Yeah, it's a... and they're great. They're excellent nurses too. I don't know if they just saw an opportunity and really exploited it and they told their relatives about it and it would turn out to be a good thing. It's a good gig, right? Yeah. I mean, it's a weird gig, but it's a good gig. It's a little intimate for me.
Starting point is 00:14:24 You don't like cleaning bedpans and stuff? All the stuff that's going on. I mean, oh my God, up in there with the catheters and the sheets and the poo and the thing and the that and oh my God. It is a thankless job for the nurses. Oh my God. It really is. They went all the... The physicians take all the liability, but nursing takes all the
Starting point is 00:14:43 shit. Literally, the shit. Literally. The shit jobs. The shit, yeah. Yeah. And uh. You get little credit for it too, because then when somebody's angry and yelling, who's sitting there?
Starting point is 00:14:53 It's like being the receptionist at a restaurant. Right. That's the one that takes the grief. Yeah. Yeah. Except for they're not as hot as the receptionist at the restaurant. But yeah, they're all, and the people are half out of their mind. They're old, they're angry, they want to get out of bed, they got shit strapped to them
Starting point is 00:15:08 and they're taking it out on the nurses. Well, then the family doesn't understand the condition there, they get angry with the nurses for not allowing them to do what they want to do. Right. Whatever it is, it's always our fault. Right, right. All right, we have questions. What else? All right, we're back. We have another clip for you. This one comes to you from episode 9 of the Adam and Drew show. Now this is interesting. This was recorded on January 8th, 2013 and I was actually in the studio that day just hanging out. I brought a girlfriend at the time and a couple buddies and we just kind of watched what happened
Starting point is 00:15:41 and out of nowhere Mike Lynch and you guys showed up and you said, hey, get ready, you're coming in the studio. You're going to be a guest. Yeah, absolutely. Well, I mean, it was, it's, people may not know, but it's not an often occurrence that you're actually around. You help us quite a bit and you're, you're always around via email or via text or via phone, but to have you actually in studio is something that in a good two year span maybe happens twice. So when you're around, especially with something like Adam and Drew, right in the inception
Starting point is 00:16:13 of that show early on, under 10 episodes in, it only makes sense to have the Loveline historian step in. Yeah, I wasn't expecting it and I probably would have been nervous had I known it was happening. It just kind of got sprung on me and I was super excited and it's a huge honor to be the first guest of the Adam and Drew show and this clip Adam wants to know about a specific band and I don't want him to finish his question Ha ha ha ha. I remember let's check it out
Starting point is 00:16:40 Yeah Get it on got to get it on no choice, but to get on mandate get it on. Got to get it on, no choice but to get it on, Mandate, get it on. Good see you, Dr. Drew. Hey, buddy, what's happening? Superfan Giovanni has joined us. I know. Get it on. It's amazing.
Starting point is 00:16:53 What are you doing out here, Giovanni? I came out for a special trip to drink Mangria and record commentaries on my vacation with my buddy. And we do it in San Diego. And then I was, having Drew Parli tape in the mornings and I got a little mad. I was like, I'm gonna come down. I to be at my two dads. Mm-hmm. So I like that now super fan Giovanni knows way more about love line than me or dr. Drew. It's true. Yep do Someone's asked me the other night. What was the band where the guy? I'm sneaker pimps where the guy got up and walked away. They started walk back to the hotel Yeah, the middle of the night. Yeah middle of Culver City
Starting point is 00:17:22 It's awesome And then the next night you guys played off-air audio of him yelling about it And you guys try to talk him down the band try to talk him down. He had no money on him He had nothing he was found walking somewhere in Culver City But the good news is the sneaker pimps have landed on their feet with multiple platinum award-winning records and things like that, right? There were many many bands like that weren't they Adam that we had we call them the incidents and there's many of them There's the pennywise the sneaker pimps theps, the Blur, Chumbalamba. They're kind of endless.
Starting point is 00:17:49 What was Blur doing? They were just kind of prickly and he was educating you because you didn't know what you were talking about. You were talking about his last episode. As I remember he had his feet up on the desk. He was sort of sitting back. Sounds about right. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:02 There's ones that people don't talk about like Nickelback came on and they said they hadn't sit upon smoking a joint In the studio with you and drew there and so Drew's getting smoked out in the studio with Nickelback of all people What they the ones that want to show you their Trans Am or something? It's Plymouth Prowler. I think is what he owns. No the Nickelback guy has a Plymouth Prowler Which is on the worst car for the most retarded individuals but He the guy from Nickelback if if I, if the story. Jack Kroger or something?
Starting point is 00:18:29 I don't know. I think I said it. Sounds about right. He had like a Plymouth, he had a Dodge Stealth. Okay. And he had a Dodge Stealth that was like four years old, maybe it was like, no, it was like seven years old, because they stopped making the stealth in like,
Starting point is 00:18:50 I don't know, the mid, early mid 90s or something like that, but he had bought a Dodge Stealth. Mitsubishi also made a version of it. And he'd bought this car, it was about five years old, and he probably got it for 7,500 bucks maybe nine grand I had just gotten I think a brand new BMW M3 or something crazy could have could have could have even been an Aston Martin but it was so it's before that it was a car it was a BMW M3 and I just bought it I pulled into the
Starting point is 00:19:20 parking lot and the guy Chad from Nickelback was with us and I was saying Drew look at this thing It's got a straight six at three hundred thirty three horsepower and Chad was like Stealth over there. I can open the doors automatically by just pushing this button on my keychain And I remember I was looking at his car It was a used car that was seven years old and kind of a piece of shit even in its day and every time I would say, and Drew, let me show you about the bolstering on the seats and the six speed transmission, he'd be like, this baby has automatic windshield
Starting point is 00:19:58 wipers. Remember that? Yes, and he went so far as to say, really, you should be checking out this, this is the vehicle for you, man. This is, remember that? And I was like, I remember that vehicle from seven years ago when it was a piece of shit. It was such a weird... It was weird.
Starting point is 00:20:13 You were nice. You were not like outraged or condescending. You were like, yeah, I'm not so sure that's for me. You're like, but I'm kind of excited about this car. I just got... I kind of know some bad cars. This one's flipping my cookie a little bit. He literally made a deal about having the doors unlocked by pushing the button.
Starting point is 00:20:31 Yeah. Oh my God. A lot of geniuses coming through that place. Remember at the drive-in? Oh yeah. Oh yeah. That band. They split up and became two asshole bands.
Starting point is 00:20:42 Another band, Sparta. Yeah, they kept going. They kept going. It turns out we thought Sparta, and they never came back. Yeah, they kept going. They kept going. It turns out we thought they disappeared. But they were on it. The next night we had this band called Lincoln Park on. The next night. And we were like, okay, those guys are going to be fine.
Starting point is 00:20:55 Compare them to at the drive-in in 10 years. Did we have that conversation on the air? Yeah, there's tons of those conversations. There's a bunch of guests who were going to do Coke in the bathroom, too. I won't name them by name, but there's a few that come back. You guys are hinting at that. And then the Pennywise incident, the second one where you're there. Poo Poo's hitting?
Starting point is 00:21:08 Yeah, we have video, the scary cam footage. And your Mike gave it to me and he was like, he says it's okay to admit that, but we have it and it's digital quality and you see everything. The cops there, Adam is taking a sip of his beer while engine Mike's playing an anti-drinking PSA, because it can stop swearing. And then you're hiding behind Adam. Drew's actually cowering behind Adam a little bit. And Adam's sitting there, just sipping off the beer and he's grabbing more beer out of the box. Like, well, I'm leaving at midnight
Starting point is 00:21:28 no matter what. I must have been drinking Fletcher's beer. Yeah. You just helped yourself. Oh, wow. There it is. There it is. Wow, we have actual security footage. I got this off a DVD with a hole in it somehow.
Starting point is 00:21:39 A hole in the DVD? Yeah, somehow this software magically repaired it. There's only one, like, two frames lost at the very end. So you mean like a BB hole? Exactly. Wow. That's while Andrew Mike had it. If you jump ahead, the action starts really later.
Starting point is 00:21:52 That's Anderson's first night right there, we're in the flannel. I gave this to Anderson and he insulted me and said, how dare I give it to him? Like it's creepy that I had this. I'm like, well, Andrew Mike gave it to us because he likes the fans. Anderson's first night. Can you imagine that? Wow. Wow. It's crazy black and white security footage. That's Jim, right. Can you imagine that? Wow. Wow.
Starting point is 00:22:05 It's crazy black and white security footage. That's Jim, right Jimmy? Is that him, the guitar player? I didn't even know they had security cameras at that point. That's how they knew you jumped on that console and kicked the shit out of them. With your muckluck. Oh! You broke the air conditioner, yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:22 That was one of the great moments of my career. That was one of the great moments of my career. That was one of the great moments of my career. You can go to, I don't know, where do you go to find this footage? Pretty much nowhere, but I'll put it up somewhere. Okay. Why put it up on... I don't think there's any problem. Andrew, mine's cool with it.
Starting point is 00:22:38 Drew, you're the one that can speak on this. The cops were there. The cops were there. I don't know that it's in any of the pages. We'll put it on this page. On the Adam and Drew page. Oh, so that's how they found out that I took't know that it's an image. We'll put it on the page. Oh, it's fine. On the Adam and Drew page. Oh, so that's how they found out that I took my boot and my muck lock and jumped up.
Starting point is 00:22:50 They watched it. Oh, they watch it. See, what happened, what used to happen all the fucking time is I would, we would sit in our Loveline booth in the studio and it would just be sweltering. It was just sweltering. It was just sweltering. There's a few things that they just couldn't figure out. Like I'd say to them, we need new chairs. The chairs are so noisy they squeak and they rattle and they're falling apart. We need new chairs. And they'd be like, yeah that's
Starting point is 00:23:17 not good. They're finally a listener sent chairs to us. From Minnesota I think. Illinois right? Well I always think Illinois but I'm sure it's says Minnesota I think I might be right but the best part was when you guys were switching studios they said what are these chairs I'm taking them or I'm setting them on fire in the parking lot. I told those idiots they're like oh those are our chairs like fuck you they're not your chairs you idiot so what happened but the story that I forget about, which I absolutely love, is... And I should remember to tell it more often. So we would sit in this room
Starting point is 00:23:52 and it would just be sweltering. And I would say all the time, what's going on with the air conditioning? Somebody needs to fix the air conditioning. It's fucking sweltering in here. And they'd go, yeah, no, it froze up. It froze up. froze up they keep it on it freezes up ironically I said okay well I know what it you know when people give you the I don't know why adults do this with other adults all the time where they go like look we need reliable transportation yeah the cars broke yeah I know we need a way to get to the airport yeah I know the car's broke I know it is we need how many laps you want to do like so I would kept I kept saying we need air conditioning in the studio they would go
Starting point is 00:24:34 yeah it's broken and I'd go I know it is fix it Anderson kind of revealed it wasn't actually broken they just didn't want you guys tampering or monkey somebody needs to fix it and I'd be too hot in this closet We're on in with all these lights on us, but just there's no ventilation so at a certain point I Don't know maybe they did fix it or something and then I walked in and I said it's too hot in here Turn the fucking air on in here and Anderson said Can't do it. I said, why? And he said, because they keep the thermostat
Starting point is 00:25:10 in one of those little Lucite lock boxes sitting, it's on the wall, and I can't get into it. And I was like, well, get the key, open it up and turn the thing down. They don't give us the key. I said, oh, they don't give you the key, huh? Oh, okay, I got a key key and I climbed up on the console Because I needed some height because thing was like four feet up the wall. I just kicked it off the wall
Starting point is 00:25:33 I just booted it. Was it one kick was bam bam bam bam like really? No, it was one kick. I remember you bashing it went flying and What's the footage then? I said, uh, check the tape. I said there's, there it is. Well now, now we can, now we can access it. And then. Were you aware, or in retrospect, are you aware, you were a bit agitated that night. Probably.
Starting point is 00:25:55 Yeah, okay. Chances are good. Yeah, yeah. Well I had had enough. But you were agitated before the conversation with Anderson. I think you probably had talked to, Terry don't call me Tara, god damn it,
Starting point is 00:26:04 maybe seconds before. That might have escalated you a bit. I had had enough of the fucking lethargy and retardism and stupidity that was that place. Like when I said, for instance, remember when they built the movie theater around us, like a Bugs Bunny cartoon? You had to plywood over the ground. Oh, and there was a Kathy Griffin that was complaining about being raped out there. Yeah, somebody took a tumble too. Well, what would happen is if the person in front of you stepped on the front piece of
Starting point is 00:26:35 plywood, it would kick up because it was warped and then you'd kick it if you're walking eight feet behind them and then you'd trip over it. So they would step on it, it would roll up. All right, and we're back. Now we have another clip for you. This one comes to you from Adam and Drew's show episode 13. This was released back at the end of January 2013 with Diane Farr. What do you remember about this one, Gary?
Starting point is 00:26:59 I remember being a little struck. I was a big fan of Diane Farr from Rescue Me. That was where I knew her from. I was never a huge Love Line TV show fan. I would catch it every now and then when I was flipping through the channels, but it wasn't appointment viewing for me. Something about the TV show to me seemed like a bastardized version of what I loved on the radio.
Starting point is 00:27:20 It just seemed like they were a little bit too controlled. They had not that it was their fault, but it just seemed like the format of television and the commercial breaks and the length of the segments just sort of forced them a little bit more into a box that was just, in my opinion, kind of a poor man's version of what I loved on the radio where they had a little bit more leeway and a little bit more freedom. So I knew Diane from Rescue Me and I had always been a fan. I thought she was a great actress. I was a little starstruck.
Starting point is 00:27:52 This was 2013, was still somewhat early in my tenure in the podcast industry. It was crazy because it was not only a celebrity, but it was also someone that Drew and Adam were clearly, legitimately friends with. Yeah, she was the longest running female co-host of the MTV show and it's interesting You mentioned your feelings about that because I had the MTV show before the radio show being a local LA person I think it's a lot easier for you to get exposed to Love Line. It's an institution with the affiliates It wasn't necessarily something that you would know about unless you knew about it So you wouldn't unless you unless you found it or somehow knew about it or originally you're not gonna find the show
Starting point is 00:28:30 So that MTV show was my introduction and she joined them around I think season two and then she lasted over 200 of the roughly 400 episodes Yeah, and and more to your point about the radio and and being aware of it You know at that time in LA K rock was kind of the only game in town if you were under the age of 50. So if you were a kid in Southern California, whether you were listening to the radio that later night or not, you were hearing advertisements for Loveline because K-Rock was what you listened to as a kid growing up in the 90s. That was just what there was.
Starting point is 00:29:02 Yeah. I mean, you have Joseph Gordon-Levitt coming on Loveline. He's singing the K-Rock jingles. He's such a huge fan, so anybody local knows all that stuff. And I've been exposed to it through archiving, but on this episode with Diane, she reunites with the guys because they haven't had a lot of contact in the year since doing the show. She tells them about her marriage and her multicultural family. It's a really interesting chunk from the episode.
Starting point is 00:29:25 It's just kind of sweet to have them back on air together. And what I found most interesting going back to MTV Love Line, it was only 21 minutes. That's exactly what I'm talking about. Like I was used to two and a half hours or two hours, whatever it was. But 21 minutes stretched over an hour. That's the interesting part. It aired over a 60 minute block on MTV.
Starting point is 00:29:42 And I always thought there were an excessive amount of commercials and now going back And I have the raw footage off the tapes. It is 21 minutes So they've and that that's normally running time for a sitcom. So they took a 30 minute show and made it an hour Yep, and that's probably why why I had a distaste for it I I you know too much commercial not enough of the guys. I'm actually here for I'm fine to listen to your L'Oreal commercial But make sure I get to hear Adam and drew too It was those commercials were brutal. I remember used to play a picture-in-picture when I was playing a video game I'd have the love line MTV show in a corner and they felt like every five minutes
Starting point is 00:30:15 It was a L'Oreal ad and now I found out that is actually true Well, let's hear from Diane let's hear that let's hear our friends catch up Welcome to the program and welcome old friend Diane Farr. Hello. Hello. One of our favorites. Diane was our co-host on Love Line on MTV so many years ago, but we've all kept in touch and Diane has gone on to great things.
Starting point is 00:30:41 Rescue Me, California occasion, you see her on occasion. Kissing Outside the Lines. Numbers, latest book. Yeah, tons of TV. That's the difference between you two right there. Numbers would be Drew. California Cajun, Rescue Me would be Adam. Diane has twins.
Starting point is 00:30:59 Diane has a young son. Diane is married to a Korean-American fella, whose name escapes me because it's a very escapable name. Remember when the Asians would just go like the guy'd be like, I'm Kim Chi. No, no, you're Jake. Now you're Jake. You're Joe. Like I went to junior high with a bunch of like Japanese guys who were just named Fred. But I was like, that's your name? And then they were like, yeah. They just gave it to him. But your husband's name is?
Starting point is 00:31:27 Sing, like sing a song, which is even worse because he still has the Asian name. The Asian name is Song, but when he moved here, nobody could say Song. So he went with Sing? No, the kids started calling him Sing on his block and it stuck for 40 years. So he stick with Sing instead of Song. It's old school. Well, it's even worse because his actual name is Seung Young Chung, which all horrifically rhymes.
Starting point is 00:31:52 And like when we were having the kids, he was saying my parents. If Adam had come up with that name for your husband, you would accuse him of being racist. Thank you. It's true. And sometimes I accuse his parents of just trying to end his American experience. And they wanted to give our kids Korean names
Starting point is 00:32:07 Which would be like, you know And at first I tried to be gracious and say yes, you can give them any name you want No one's ever gonna hear it. Did his parents have any Koreans can be intense I wrote a whole book This is very cool. This This really feels like a reunion. It's been a while. I've said Koreans are some of the toughest, most tenacious people on the planet.
Starting point is 00:32:31 And the easiest way to say it is they're some of the most insular. They want to deal with just each other. That's what I was going to ask. They don't need any other culture. OK, so here you are, tall white chick, entering that. How did that go down? I wrote a whole book on it.
Starting point is 00:32:47 It was so uncomfortable and amazing. And thank God, I didn't even meet Singh until I was 35 years old so I could have a little bit of a laugh at the whole thing because a younger gal- If you run into that at 19, it would have rolled you over and pummeled you. And I would have fought against two grown people who lived in a tiny little You know parameters of how the world should be how far are they away from you physically? They were in Korea. Oh good until about six months ago. Oh moved here Moved 30 minutes away and they do the
Starting point is 00:33:21 Traditional Korean thing where the dad really lives in Korea and the mom really lives here and they call that marriage. And they visit each other about eight weeks total a year and then condemn Americans for divorce. As if when your husband lives in another country for 10 months out of the year, for 30 years, no, I'm sure he's never stepped out. I'm sure that's been a completely monogamous relationship. And my parents got divorced after 35 years. And the first time I met some of the really intense aunts, because you know in Korean culture everything's about age and gender.
Starting point is 00:33:55 It's about the oldest male and his wife. And then the pecking order sort of goes down from there. So Singh's mother is one of eight and the father's one of eight. And sadly, they're both in the middle. They have no juice. Let me tell, let me put devil's advocate for a second. Maybe they're onto something here. Maybe we expect too much of marriage. Well, look, I mean, this is the ultimate, you know, I've said to people, you know, when they talk about, you know, keys to success in in marriage I say square footage and two
Starting point is 00:34:25 Tivo's listen we've all had the situation where you're living with the girlfriend or the boyfriend you have the one bedroom or worse you know the the bachelor the flat you know the studio and the fucking arguing never stops because you're living on top of each other I mean you would do that with any other human being if you and your roommate slept in the same room And that was only one room and you'd be bickering non-stop So a little square footage a little of I'm going upstairs to watch numbers and I'm going downstairs to watch Sports Center Does so this is this is an extrapolation that but it's the ultimate one, which is I'm going to Korea bitch
Starting point is 00:35:11 I'm out of here and there ain't a lot to argue about when you're in Korea and she's in Sherman Oaks No, and you subscribe to the 1950s theory of mom's job is raise the kids get them the best possible Education and sacrifice all feelings emotional, sexual, any. Speaking. All right, we're back and we have another clip for you. This one comes to us from the next episode actually, Adam and Dr. Drew show episode 14. This was released in early February of 2013.
Starting point is 00:35:45 This one's titled David Alan Greer because it features David Alan Greer. He came by for two episodes. This is from the first one. In this clip, Adam and Drew talk to Dang about his relationship with his brother, something they never really discussed back on all their love line appearances, and then they kind of go in depth on the evolution of careers and show business and how things can kind of go wrong for people involved with comedy yeah absolutely uh... this is a uh... strong run of shows here dianne far followed by david allen greer but uh... this is an excellent one i mean listen daggs a fan favorite and i'm a fan so
Starting point is 00:36:18 daggs one of my favorites there's there's just no way around it he is so funny and uh... it doesn't matter if he's, you know, doing one of your favorite characters or if he's just talking to the guys and reacting to whatever the story, you know, the topic of the day is. I love it when Dag gets real. Yeah, that's great. Yeah, absolutely. He gets real about something.
Starting point is 00:36:38 It's just A+. So, you know what, I, even though I have only read the description that you wrote for this clip, I guarantee you that this is hilarious It's mildly and funny. It's more interesting It's I always like when dag gets real and he's actually the most frequent Loveline guest in the history of anyone ever appear on The show he started appearing in 1998 and would guest on the show all the way through Adams departure And even when Adam came back to guest after his departure dag showed up one time. He's beloved for a reason. Check out this clip with Dag everybody. How long we know Dag? Oh boy, 15 more than 15 years. Never mentioned his brother before.
Starting point is 00:37:17 Oh no, no he's brought him to Kimmel's. Okay all. Okay, all right. Yeah, it's come up. So you guys are closer in recent years? We talk several times a day every day. That's a new thing. No, all the time. Several times a day? Yes. Wow.
Starting point is 00:37:34 Why so much? We're just very close. It's always been that way? Well, it's been that way in the last, I'm trying to think. Four years. No, once he got sober, once he got sober, and I knew he but he's been sober over 20 years. I never would have thought over 2024 years. But I mean, it's all of my friendship with you. I always talked to him a lot. And I didn't really realize until I started talking about it. But he, you know, he knows me, we share a, what am
Starting point is 00:38:07 I going to say, a childhood together. So that's just the way it is. I don't talk, he's the closest person in my family. So when your phone rings and you see it's your brother, you think good. Usually, yeah, I talk to him on the way here. I talk to him on the way, what's up man, going into work. And he tells me stories about my nephew who's 17, which is awesome Oh my god, which he said the news he goes well like I'm gonna go to junior college You know for like six months and I'm going to Stanford. Well, we almost ran off the road It was like good luck man. I love you. Love you. Good luck. Dad. Let me ask you a question
Starting point is 00:38:43 Serious question as I think about you all time and and and and I'm I'm working on my next movie Love you. Good luck. Let me ask you a question. A serious question. As I think about you all the time, and I'm working on my next movie. You're my best friend. You're co-starring it. I know it's been brought up before. Why is that so fucking funny? Because it's going to be good.
Starting point is 00:38:57 It's going to be good. It's going to be funny. It's going to be good. And the basic, the general theme of it is guys, and there's a lot of them, if you think about it, who had a lot of success in the 90, and there's a lot of them, if you think about it, who had a lot of success in the 90s when there was a lot of holding deals and development deals.
Starting point is 00:39:12 Like literally, people, everyone who's home struggling, husband's out of work trying to make ends meet, all that. There was a time in the mid 90s, in the late 90s, when they would tell a guy like David Alan Greer, here's one million bucks, you don't have to go anywhere. You don't have to come in. You don't have to do anything. Just don't do anything on another network for a year. I had a deal with the deal was we're gonna give you a script for a TV show, but you can say no, we're still gonna pay you. And we're gonna give you three roles in a movie. And you can say no, and we'll still pay you you three roles in a movie and you can say no
Starting point is 00:39:45 and we'll still pay you. I was like... and there was development deals which is we buy you an office on the lot here's a million dollars and like at the end of six months they'd go any ideas you got anything? and you go not really and they go okay sorry we didn't mean to pressure you here's another check and then six months later at the end of the year they'd go anything at all and you go nah nah not really you like what should I do this
Starting point is 00:40:14 like these two motherfuckers right but they like each other but they don't really like each other yeah they're cops but then they like you know looking at each other right what's up man what you yeah you doing? Yeah, it's edgy, but it's also funny. But by the way, no hyperbole in this. Yeah, no, no, but now those deals are done. Now those deals are gone. And some people got out of it, you know, like my buddy Phil Rosenthal from Everyone Loves Raymond,
Starting point is 00:40:40 he got out of it with 100 million bucks. And then there's others who bought houses and got divorced and didn't save all their money and so on and so forth. And those dudes have to hit the road now. Well, the darkest version, there was a guy who wrote for a living caller, writer, staff writer, had deals, had the house, young wife young wife got married deals dried up Talked said look honey. Let's move to I think it was Ohio downsize
Starting point is 00:41:11 No money no deals new baby They found him wandering. Oh incoherent. Oh hadn't bathed in Ohio. Did they make it to Ohio? Oh, geez killed the wife. Oh my god He was in the house really yeah, wow news No a lot of these guys some of these guys that's the dark. That's the dark You know some of these guys are killing themselves. I mean look at What's stand-up comedian who killed himself a few years ago? Yeah
Starting point is 00:41:42 platypus man But Richard Richard brilliant, but he had himself a few years ago. Platypus man. I will come up with his name in a second. Oh, but Richard, Richard Jenney. Brilliant. But he had... He had bipolar. No, no. He was so mentally ill, unbeknownst to me. I mean, I've been an acquaintance of his for years. I'd always heard he was like, oh, challenging, but no one ever. Apparently, it spiraled out of control. He always worked, but he was severely mentally ill, from what I understand.
Starting point is 00:42:10 Obviously, there needs to be that component. But what I'm saying is, you are in your 30s. You're getting development deals. You're looking good. There's chicks all over the place. You're making tons of money, and the world is your fucking oyster, and now you're 51, and the deals are behind you, there's no more sitcoms they're gonna name after you. You had a shot, all these guys had a shot.
Starting point is 00:42:35 But they're saying they need to form a podcast network. They would all tell you. Yeah, this is not, I think, Adam, you're saying, these are people that don't have the option, actually, to go on the road. They don't have the option. No, they can't do it. No, what it is is Richard Jenne has to go back on the road, but he's 52.
Starting point is 00:42:54 And he stopped, they used it as a springboard to get into Hollywood and they stopped doing it at 33 and went, fuck this. I got a development deal. I'm doing a sitcom sitcom I got a movie role they didn't know and now they're 51 and they're in Addison Texas at the improv and they're there too wonderful strippers by the way been there too that's my point anyway oh my god that's yeah but but most of the writers this is why they go crazy. They don't have the option. They're fucked I am talking about people you recognize Performers big names people that are forced to you know, Polly Shore Tom Green guys that are forced to hit the road
Starting point is 00:43:38 No, I'm just saying they're forced at the road. They don't want to hit the road They have to hit the road and hitting the road at 33 is different than hitting the road at 49 or 53 Dialogue here's my dialogue last weekend Dave you want another drink.

Starting point is 00:44:56 501 it is the best it is Pluto TV Everybody we are back. We have another clip for you. This one comes all the way from Adam and Drew show episode 100. This aired in December 2013. On the 100th episode of Adam and Drew show, Adam explains some of the policies he would like to see if he were president. They also take a deep look at the history of President John F. Kennedy.
Starting point is 00:45:19 And in this clip, I want to focus on the JFK part. It's an interesting format departure for this show, but also just more of an example of what this Adam and Drew show can be. It can be hilarious, it can be like a modern version of Love Line, and it can also be this really interesting exploration of the topics, much like they used to do on Love Line,
Starting point is 00:45:39 like the opening segment, or when they didn't have a guest. And in this, they go really deep and analyze some newly unearthed accusations of the time regarding JFK. Yeah, looking back on this clip, I would say that this clip sort of informs what the Adam and Drew show evolved into. Not to say that it isn't the same as it was in episode one, but it has grown and evolved as any living thing does. And I think this is a good look back into sort of where they started and how they expanded
Starting point is 00:46:11 their horizons. And this is the only clip I adopted where I removed a call from a listener because you were tasked with searching for a clip and scrolling through a timeline. So in real time you had to find them, the exact thing they're demanding. So I just took out that one phone call. I'm getting the anxiety now just talking about this. I remember that episode very, very well because that was a deep dive and we pulled it off but those searches are anxiety provoking if anyone can't imagine that.
Starting point is 00:46:40 Roll the clip, Gary. Alright,, Drew? What's going on? I got a lot of weird little thoughts. Did you see all the JFKs? First of all, I'm exhausted. I had to pick my daughter up at the airport last night on the way home. Freeway closures.
Starting point is 00:46:56 Right. No warning. Yes. And then circa 6.30 a.m., my wife's sick. She's kind of not sleeping well. You're snoring. Oh, you're sn of not sleeping well. You're snoring! Oh, you're snoring, she told you you're snoring, yeah. So, did not come back to sleep.
Starting point is 00:47:08 Sorry, I go four hours sleep, so that's fantastic. All the JFK stuff, yes. All the JFK stuff, did you get into any of that stuff? Did you find it interesting, or? I don't have as much reverence for him as other people do. Funny you would say that, because somebody sent me me a there's sort of a synopsis of his medical records out there now. He was not
Starting point is 00:47:32 psychiatrically a well man at all. I mean he may have been a good leader and whatever and good administrator but he here's how I put together what I read. At a young age very somatically preoccupied, lots of bowel problems and back problems and physical problems. That's a psychological thing when people get like that. Now when you're a special person, you're the son of Joe Kennedy, you get special attention. Well guess what? Now he's getting aggressive treatments for ulcerative colitis and for his back diseases. They
Starting point is 00:48:06 start injecting with high doses of corticosteroids which right around then was thought to... Can I tell you this whole story? It's kind of interesting. I'm interested. Gary, you can find the 60 minutes story of his young intern girlfriend and some of the beats on that. I think it aired about a year ago. Yeah, she came out and what happened. But go ahead, you tell your story. This sort of more on that same line.
Starting point is 00:48:33 High doses of corticosteroid prednisone, which at the time was on the cover of Life magazine, the miracle drug. We didn't know all the side effects. It shuts down your adrenal gland and it causes weakening of the bones and osteoporosis. Fast forward three years, oh my god, he has Addison's disease. His adrenals are shut down and he has osteoporosis from all the shit everyone was giving him. Now they start putting him on more steroids to cover for the adrenal insufficiency, which is all bullshit.
Starting point is 00:49:02 He did not have Addison's. They couldn't make a proper diagnosis back then. Did not have it. He probably did have osteoporosis. Now they start doing back operations, which are the latest thing. We got to go give it special son of Joe Kennedy, we got to do something. They put in hardware, it gets infected, they have to take it out, he has abscess. Now he has a real reason for pain. Now guess what's going on? Now it's game on with the pain meds. Full game on. Long term polyopiates, injection of Demerol. Now he's weak and tired from all this, for the pain meds and steroids, they put him on
Starting point is 00:49:35 testosterone and stimulants and amphetamines. He was on so much shit. This was when there was great enthusiasm about all this stuff in the medical community and not an understanding of the psychiatric consequences and the nature of addiction and somatizing. I mean, this is a really seriously ill psychiatric case. Well, it's psychological problems meets what's called iatrogenesis, which is doctor-created illness. And he was opposed to chocolate. I can't believe the dude functioned let alone You know, it's amazing that he was able to get through and then Administrate and do the things he did. They probably had the alcoholic gene which let you do that
Starting point is 00:50:14 Yeah, you know, maybe I'm just a huge douche. But first off, you know When they turn and Jackie Kennedy's always you know, she's a hero to everyone too. I don't, you know, she married the richest man on the planet when, after this, she lived in semi-seclusion. I'm sure she did her fair share of charitable work. Mainly they were a really good looking couple, which I think everyone responded to. I don't know that she did any more good than Eleanor Roosevelt, but yet she looked so good
Starting point is 00:50:55 and so young and there's a lot of talk about her White House and how she redecorated. She did. It's true. She did do a lot of stuff there. But what difference that she paid Yeah, she had we paid for somebody to redecorate her White House I she brought a vibrance a youth and a sense of hope like that doesn't mean shit to me, right? I don't know what that is, you know, she carried herself with such a dignity. Yeah, you know, like alright I Dad of 50 cents, right? I want to hear some I'm gonna hear some stats. For me, everything does. This is why I love the meritocracy of sports. This young point guard carries himself with so much dignity on that court.
Starting point is 00:51:36 He brings a sense of hope to the team and the fans. I want to see a shooting percentage. I want to see what he's like outside of the three-point arc. I just want to see some numbers Oh forget about no, no, no, don't get focused on that. Look at him in that uniform Striking, isn't he? Look at that. Well, let's be fair. It's the martyrdom of the whole thing You know, the fact that he was shot was the way created the myth, right? No, no, no, I'm talking it. There's
Starting point is 00:52:02 No, I don't think it was Rock Center. Maybe it was Rock Center. I thought it was a 60 Minutes report. About the woman that had an affair with Kennedy, one of the many. Yeah. And by the way, that goes along with the addict stuff. No. Gary's saying no.
Starting point is 00:52:16 You put in the chick's name, you put in JFK intern affair, you put all that with 60 Minutes and you get nothing. But if you put her name in, it comes up with a Rock Center special edition with Ryan Williams. Oh, man. Whatever. Oh, I with a rock center special edition with Ryan Williams. Special edition rock center, all right, sorry, my bad. But then you know the sexual compulsion, sexual addiction stuff goes along with the somitizing, goes along with the opiates. Right, so anyway back to whatever. Look, I don't know some presidents did better than other presidents. He's revered I you know I
Starting point is 00:52:45 think from the grave yes like a 97 percent approval rating but I think a lot of that being happy with him when he was in office I don't remember any that I just remember he was young he looked good and when young good-looking people die and young good-looking couples get torn apart that way it you know that way in terms of what he did as a president I wasn't born I know this Cuban missile crisis I think I like the way handled that other things his brother did that I like what's that okay it's hard to believe given the condition he was in what I was reading
Starting point is 00:53:17 about it's like how to get through that but you know watching watching this Rock Central thing, this business, 30 Rock, whatever it is, Brian Williams thing, interviewing his intern, I mean, it was coming out now, where she was like, yeah, I was 19. Oh, it's Meredith Vieira did it. I was 19 and I was, you know, fresh, I was coming from this college. She could have been 18, you know, or I don't know, maybe she was 20, I can't remember. Well, let's hear little bits and pieces of it,
Starting point is 00:54:01 but Gary will put it together. She was 19, She went to the White House. The president sort of called her into the next room and kind of basically started banging her at the White House. But then at a certain point, she started telling these stories where it's like, oh yeah, we would spend hours down in the pool together. And there'd be president and his brother, whoever would be down there. And then there was this, you know, fat old bald guy who was, you know, secretary of commerce or something. And, you know, he told me to go over there and perform oral on him, you know, while we watched, essentially like in the pool.
Starting point is 00:54:34 Whoa. The fat old guy. Yeah. Again, I'm sort of paraphrasing, but there's a point where not only is the president Banging the 19 year old who he just started, you know weeks earlier at the White House While he's the president of the White House They still like to go down to the pool and play a little grab-ass and all the dudes are sort of swimming in the pool Simpler times man, and he sort of says like hey man Four days into four days into her internship he was fucking her and then forcing her to have sex with other guys that's yeah like to watch you know just want to see if she could swim across the pool and go to what's it was sitting on the steps over there and suck him off I swear to we will find it I
Starting point is 00:55:21 don't know if it was a brother or there was a few dudes that he was sort of... Does she feel? You know, when the President of the United States... What does she say now about it? She should be pissed. You can't judge. JFK's intern, it adds another surprising and disturbing layer to John F. Kennedy's presidential portrait. I don't think what I did at 19, I don't... was bad. Well, she's crying. You know, the 19-year-old was alright.
Starting point is 00:55:53 She was... there was nothing wrong with me. Well, that's bullshit crying like that. I'm remembering how enthusiastic I was and how much fun I was to be with. I wasn't after anything. I wasn't after a job. I wasn't after anything. I was just a young girl. Almost 50 years later, it's still difficult for 68-year-old Meadey Alford to talk about. The story just came and went. Most mornings, when I woke up, I thought, I don't want to get up and write this book.
Starting point is 00:56:23 I want to hide under the covers. In her new book, Once Upon a Secret, she reveals the explicit details of what she says was an 18-month affair with President John F. Kennedy. Her secret was first revealed in 2003, when historian Robert Dalek wrote in his biography of JFK that a tall, slender, beautiful White House intern was rumored to be among the president's many paramours. The revelation prompted inevitable... You can get to the swimming pool park because this thing's an hour long.
Starting point is 00:56:53 If you can find it, find it. This thing's 30 minutes and it's halfway in or whatever, but oh yeah. You can't judge. No, let's judge. No let's judge. Listen I judge I just go that's not a great guy you know so you can do all you want like it's look I'm fine with. It's bordering on sociopathy this shit it really is. Yes and I look but that look but but here's what I'm trying to say Drew here's what I'm trying to say. It's so funny We didn't know we're gonna have this conversation. No Michael Michael Jordan has a gambling addiction
Starting point is 00:57:31 Yeah, or had a gambling addiction and many of the greats have had addictions and and and done done things behind their wives And this is stepped out. No, whatever. Yeah run-ins with the law. Whatever Whatever. Run-ins with the law. Whatever. I separate, and I can separate, the guy, the player on the court from this guy. So I go, well I really enjoy Woody Allen movies, but in terms of him running off with his adopted daughter, not so hot. So as a man, I don't respect him. As an artist, I respect him. And Michael Jordan, maybe I don't respect him. As an artist, I respect him. And Michael Jordan, maybe I don't respect him as a man, but as a basketball player, I have to respect him. Why can't we separate these things when it comes to John Kennedy? Why does he have to be the greatest, and everything's the greatest, and it's Camelot,
Starting point is 00:58:20 and Jackie Kennedy's the greatest ever. Well, first off, really, she just literally marries Onassis, the Greek tycoon, basically, the shipping magnet. I mean, she just marries like the richest man on the planet who's 30 years older than her. Like, that's, she was in love. Like what, Aristotle Onassis what was he her senior he can find a picture of him I mean he wasn't like a strapping young no no he was at least 30 or 40 years older a lot older it just fat and good-looking I mean
Starting point is 00:59:00 fat and rich right like well so she just married the next richest guy she could find? Like, I, I, I, look, people have, it's sacrilege to speak this way. They're human beings. They have their faults. I don't know if they'd be turned into deities. They both are turned into, into deities. We can find out when they married, when they met or whatever, what their ages were and what he was on the Forbes list of richest men, whatever. When do they marry? I don't know. There's a lot of stuff that Gary's looking for. You tell me. You get rid of it. I don't need to see a picture. We can just find out the math on on these two and Again, so drew is this if I was just describing this behavior. Does this sound hers or
Starting point is 00:59:54 Well, first off four days into the internship he's banging her and it's reprehensible and They were married in 68 by the way, so four and a half years after her husband died she's boom Well, that's enough time. It's kind of I guess It was one of the richest men in the world meet and court and marry Yeah, four years look He ruined this woman's life Jackie's no, oh dude, this old... Kennedy ruined her... John Kennedy ruined... Yes, he severely exploited and abused her. Severely.
Starting point is 01:00:34 Mm-hmm. He offered her a three million dollar trust to replace her Kennedy trust she would lose upon his death. Who? No, upon his death. Sorry, I'm not typing fast enough. Upon his death, she would lose upon his death who no upon his down sorry I'm not typing fast enough upon his death she would receive it who's that her husband Aristotle upon his death she would receive another settlement of 26 million yeah and you and 150 K each year for the rest of her life this is what they were yeah this was the arrangement before that got married. Well, she married the old guy. Right, right.
Starting point is 01:01:06 Now, if this is one of your wife's friends, what would you be saying? Hero? You know what I mean? Camelot? Well, you would go, oh, she was so disturbed by the death of her husband, she's never recovered, and she's making bad decisions. Bad decisions is slamming heroin, not finding the richest guy I find his 20 years old and being just marrying him look I'm not here to fucking shit on them so we'll find out some of that information
Starting point is 01:01:32 you'll be deeply disturbed by some of the JFK antics as far as the 19 year old who again it's really disturbing I mean it's so disturbing well this woman was sort of ruined psychologically quite what he done what happened to her after that what's in this and that I will you see a crime yeah doing but that I love I'm fine it was great I'm fine she's in love with the president yeah living a you know she's in the White House having sex with JFK. Like, again, this is at least a bad decision making. And again, I'm not the guy, I don't say, look, I judge
Starting point is 01:02:17 you because you have sinned. I'm more like, if this is your your process like if you cannot control yourself well how about appreciate that other people have feelings and that you're affecting them and by the way I don't mind him I can see him banging the 19 year old as part of the overall addiction and all his somatizing is that that all kind of goes together for me but when you say go across the pool blow that guy now we're into some weird shit. Put that on loop. Well, Gary shall find that. I'm surprised he hasn't already. But mind you, that is, that is, that graduates to a new level. You know? Let's take a phone call here. And like I said, Gary, I don't know if it was a whole hour
Starting point is 01:02:59 long special or whatever it is, but it's somewhere. It's a whole hour long special, but I don't have the whole thing, so I'm having to watch these pieces all the way through. Well, hurry up, Gary. long special or whatever it is but it's somewhere. It's a whole hour long special but I don't have the whole thing so I'm having to watch these pieces all the way through. Well hurry up Gary. Somewhere in the middle if it helps. Here's the young lady who is 19 and an intern in the White House explaining what went on in the swimming pool.
Starting point is 01:03:17 He had been guilty of an unforgivable episode at the White House pool during one of our noonday swims at the end of the summer. Dave Powers was sitting poolside while the president and I swam lazy circles around each other. The president swam over and whispered in my ear, Mr. Powers looks a little tense, he said. Would you take care of it? It was a dare, but I knew exactly what he meant. Take care of it.
Starting point is 01:03:47 That was a challenge to give Dave Powers oral sex. I don't think the President thought I'd do it, but I'm ashamed to say that I did. It was pathetic. A sordid scene. Dave was jolly and obedient as I stood in the shallow end of the pool and performed my duties the president silently watched Makes me angry Anyway here. I'll can't judge her. What does she say? What makes you angry because because I didn't just splash water in the president's face and tell him to get lost
Starting point is 01:04:21 and it makes you sad because It makes you sad because it makes me sad because I didn't she's blaming I think I wanted to please the president I funded a polling why was that okay who's here I fucking know everyone on TV invested in the character the point is this it didn't come up a lot during the 50th anniversary I I judge I really do I just think that's that's a moral behavior I am not another level but I'm not a religious person I just go that's not a guy forget I respect that just psychologically psychiatrically that's somebody without's somebody without their ability to judge right and wrong, it affects other people, all that's off.
Starting point is 01:05:10 It's off. Yeah, plus the noonday swim. When do we got to get in on that noonday swim? Makes the golfing look like, you know what I'm saying? Yeah, wow. What happened to running countries? The whole judge not now, I mean ask not, which you can do, has a whole new meaning to it for me. All right, please, Aristotle Onassis, his age and Jackie Kennedy's age.
Starting point is 01:05:35 23 years apart and they married five years after the assassination. But she was and he was. That'd be interesting. But 23 years apart. That's right about 35 and You know they all went 60 year olds. Yeah, and I don't know if he was one of the top ten richest men on the planet Oh, yeah, you could figure that one out too, but He was 62 62 yes spry 62 spry thick glass. A youthful.
Starting point is 01:06:06 Thick horn room glasses. And you know how much young, especially. Swifty Lazaar glasses. You know how much young women are attracted to guys who are in shipping? Especially old fat guys in shipping. They love it. It's just, you can't resist. Guys with thick glasses are in the shipping. So, an aphrodisiac. It wasn't about the money. They have a love of
Starting point is 01:06:31 container movement. They didn't have those kind of containers then. They just love the shipping. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Longshoremen. That's right. All right. Oh, Lord. All right. Lord have mercy. Now I know. Talk to Morella. Yeah, we're all dicks, but that's just the way I approach life. Being a dick? I don't, you know, look, everyone says, you know, we're all God's creatures and no one is above this, and you're not supposed to look at that, at this person any more differently, and every child, no child left behind. Okay, let's do that with the Kennedys.
Starting point is 01:07:06 Let's do that with everybody. We're judging them on, there's checks and balances. There's things they did where you go, okay, that's a good thing. And then there are things they did where you go, okay, that's a bad thing. Aren't we allowed to do that? That's what I'm doing. And when I hear about this sort of behavior, it troubles me. You know what's weird?
Starting point is 01:07:29 People love to tear down Abraham Lincoln. They love to like, oh, he slept in a bed with the man. And that not even has a sense of tearing him down, a sense of trying to unearth his human qualities. By the way, he had a paranoid preoccupation with syphilis. Lincoln had some real serious shit going on. He was depressive. He was on mercury and made him more depressed and bipolar quality.
Starting point is 01:07:49 He never did shit like this. Yeah. Ever. To be fair, I think they had a pond at the White House back then. It would have been a pond. Mud pit. And we're back with Adam and Drew show, episode 321 titled Earthquakes. This one aired in March of 2016. Adam and Drew open the show discussing earthquakes in Los Angeles. And then towards the end, they get into Drew's story of some interesting
Starting point is 01:08:22 activities that happened before a DUI checkpoint while he was driving with his wife. She's a hell of a woman, Susan. The less said the better. Roll the clip. By the way, just use Eatin' by Shark or Hit by Lightning. I think Hit by Lightning, that's a standard one we can all go for. Speaking of, we had a weird thing happen in our neighborhood this last weekend.
Starting point is 01:08:43 You know there are apps now, I guess, where kids can like mass parties? Sure. Like, yeah. Well, something happened in our neighborhood where we're driving. We have a sleepy, dark, quiet neighborhood. And we're coming up the hill and drove into a mass of humanity. And as I was driving up, I saw like a helicopter. I'm like, I'm thinking, that's kind of weird.
Starting point is 01:09:04 Could that be over our house? Now, my wife and I were engaged in, like, affectionate play at the moment. In a car? That close to the house? What? It's just we're a dark street. Wow. Drew, I've said it once.
Starting point is 01:09:30 You're a man of exquisite passion. Drove into cops and a mass of humanity. All right. I'm going to guess you were driving. Yeah. Otherwise, it'd be insanely dangerous. Wow. You think texting is bad?
Starting point is 01:09:49 Put that on the freeway sign. Jesus Christ, Drew. I know, right? What passion you have. That's pathetic. I love it. You're so close to your house. Anyway, kids in the backseat.
Starting point is 01:10:03 No, no. So, you are receiving pleasure while driving your vehicle up your street and Did she start in the restaurant no, how does this work because I know you you're coming from Old Town, Pasadena like The range isn't that far. You know what I mean? Like you'll be in the house and fine. What do you do? Okay, I mean, it's 15 miles an hour how bad okay, so you run into this mass of humanity. Yeah, what are they doing? They're breaking the party up because that helicopter I was like Helicopter over a day, but what what planet we'd been there two like, what is a good idea? I want to smoke a helicopter over a dead bird.
Starting point is 01:10:45 What planet? We'd been there two hours before. No, but what is the mass? They're evacuating. Must have been a funny conversation. With the cops? No, no, with the mass of humanity that was out in the street or even the cops. Like the two cops talking later that night by the locker room.
Starting point is 01:11:03 Hey, did you guys see dr drew pull up him and his wife pulled up now he was alone now he'd people with his wife i saw him as i sit in the car right after net listen to him and i got on the cop he pulled up alone he was the only person in the car
Starting point is 01:11:21 lock i went over there ten minutes after you saw him you want to the other side of person pepper spray out i want to talk to his wife that she was in the car. Look, I went over there 10 minutes after you saw him. You went to the other side to throw some pepper spray out. I went and I talked to his wife. She was in the car. She's scratching her chin. I don't know if she's wearing her sleeve on her chin. What do you mean? I'm telling you, Bob, he was alone. This is what I do for a living I surveil you understand. Dr. Drew pulled up had a huge smile on his face He was it seemed to be sweating about the forehead and brow quite a bit I never see a crowd like that and he's almost fully reclined I couldn't even see it was him initially, but he brought the seat back up. He uh, I Remember at some point he pulled out a piece of jerky and he seemed
Starting point is 01:12:06 to feed it to his lap. I don't, that is the part that seemed peculiar. Seemed like he was going to have a bite of that granola bar and then all of a sudden he just sort of dropped it on his lap. But anyway, then he handed some Gatorade down to his lap as well. But anyway, he was alone. There was nobody in the passenger seat. Tim, I don't, I don't want to sit, this is going to come to blows. I went and talked to he and his wife. Okay, that's all I'm saying. I'm not lying to you. Well, we'll have to agree to disagree because he was alone when he pulled up. 05.10 kids walked down the street and five cop cars and a helicopter. And we have,
Starting point is 01:12:39 our street is like a driveway. You know, it's a little tiny little street. Well, what was going on? I guess so. I know there's some sort of high school-age kids down this couple of the houses there and I think they had one of those app, you know, gatherings, like it's happening. And it must have happened within an hour and broken up within an hour. It's crazy. Oh, it's an appening. Right.
Starting point is 01:12:59 Ooh. And it's just one of those whitey wilding kind of things. Like everyone just shows up. What? It was weird. What were these things called? What are these things called? They were remarkably well behaved.
Starting point is 01:13:12 They have a thing. It was all the rage five years ago. And the cops had a huge smile on their face maybe because of what you're talking about. Everyone was showing up. They do a whole thing where everyone would show up at Galleria. Flash mob. Yeah, the flash mob. They'd all show up and they do the hustle or something.
Starting point is 01:13:27 Or also people would say, you know, hey, I'm going to be signing autographs here or whatever, show up and say hi to me. Right. All right. So that's what happened to Dr. Rims. This is pretty good. I hope that's a weekend. Of course.
Starting point is 01:13:38 Okay. I don't know. That's on the schedule in the week, Drew. It's a damn good Wednesday. That's on the schedule in the week, Drew. It's a damn good Wednesday. This show is sponsored by BetterHelp. Now you may consider self-care non-negotiable. Of course you should.
Starting point is 01:13:53 Don't fall into that trip of hungry, angry, lonely, tired. But with Life Pack with kids and work, it's easy to let our priorities slip. I'll tell you one non-negotiable priority should be therapy. Obviously I've been referring patients, family, to BetterHelp and very pleased with the services they provide there and professionals. Of course I've also been a patient myself and or been somebody who provides mental health services. If you are thinking of starting therapy you might want to give BetterHelp a try. It is entirely online, convenient and flexible.

Alright, we're back and we have yet another clip for you. This one comes to you from Adam and Drew's show, episode 446.
Starting point is 01:15:01 This was released back in October of 2016. And this features Anderson Cowan, the Liberace of the potentiometers What do you remember about this one Gary? So I can't remember if this was one of the first times that we had Anderson on the show First time I had yes, and he'd already right on the ACS or the film vault it depends on how you view that problematic recording. Right, so I did not know Anderson very well at this point. This was one of the first times that I had him on a show that I was actually intimately
Starting point is 01:15:35 involved in producing. And I remember just being a little starstruck, for lack of a better term. Not that Anderson's the biggest star in the world, but for a Loveline fan, it's like, oh my god, this is the guy. And it was sort of a realization of like, oh, this is my counterpart. Like I'm the guy he yells at now, this is the guy he used to yell at then. Like it was just, it was a weird, it was a weird kind of thing of the minds. Yeah, but Anderson was a super sweet guy and I remember this being a fun episode. Yeah, I was rooting for this to happen because Anderson was promoting Groupers, his first feature film.
Starting point is 01:16:08 He'd always been an aspiring filmmaker throughout his entire run at Loveline. And he finally, you know, the show ended, he finally got up off the couch and made a movie. And he came on this to promote the Crowdfunding campaign, which was successful. And the film is now set to premiere in just a couple of months. Oh, wow, I didn't even know that. Oh, should I step on you? Say that again. I said, oh wow, I didn't... Sorry, hold on. Oh wow, I didn't even know that it was finally coming to fruition.
Starting point is 01:16:31 I remember that he was promoting that, and I remember also noticing for the first time, it was probably one of the first times I'd spent any time around him in person, the giant film strip that he has tattooed going all the way around and up one of his forearms. I just remember thinking, like, that's dedication. This guy's not messing around. He likes films. Most people mistake that for a snake. It's a running joke, especially when he was in county lockup one time.
Starting point is 01:16:53 I mostly wanted Anderson to reunite with the guys because he was always to me as a listener like their angry stepson. Like Adam and Drew were like this couple and they had this angry stepson who hated them and was very about everything And I wanted to have them on air to see that they actually really all like each other and it's actually surprisingly pleasant And it's very they're very kind to each other. So roll the clip Gary Yeah, we're back Anderson Cowan here producer director wait a minute engineer Anderson you know him from way back in the day of Loveline then way up in the day in Loveline's he's
Starting point is 01:17:33 crowdfunding a project. Way up and way back. Way back and up. How many years in total Anderson? On Loveline? Yeah. Just shy of 17. Jesus.
Starting point is 01:17:44 Drew what you have? 35. He got me beat by a little bit. I had just shy of 17 Jesus true. What you have for the five He's got me beat by a little bit. I had just over a little over ten Maybe think of it I'd be I've been there 18 years when Anderson got there Anderson's and he's there 17 years Anderson's clean show Say whatever you want Anderson's doing a movie crowdfunding a movie It's called groupers. I saw the online ask. It was well done. Most of those things are not very well done. Oh, thanks, Adam. And so you can go to groupers, the movie.com. I didn't now is it through one of the crowdsourcing
Starting point is 01:18:17 companies? Yes. Which one? I chose seed and spark, which I never heard of before, but I stumbled across them because I thought that we just had a baby, my wife and I just had a baby. That's what I'm going to talk about. And we had a registry, right? And I was thinking about the movie, I was thinking about the baby, we had the baby registry, and I was thinking all these crowdfunding campaigns that I've seen. I've never seen one where you could actually register for a movie.
Starting point is 01:18:37 Why don't you, we're looking for this amount of money to be able to fund the actors. I thought that it was really interesting. And I thought that I created this whole new thing and I was excited about it so I did a quick little Google search. Turns out these two ladies already invented it five years ago on a site called Seed and Spark so I ended up falling in love with them and going with them. So it's like we need to pay for a lighting package. Yes. We need and so it is like yeah. We need a crock pot.
Starting point is 01:19:02 That's an interesting, that's a very interesting thing. I thought I was on to something and I thought it was gonna be a whole nother like a revenue stream Maybe down like a whole nother business model that I could do but it turns out usually good ideas I've already been created by somebody else. Yeah, I found that as well a few times So the movies already raised quite a bit of money like 50 something thousand. Yeah, we're a little bit past the two-thirds mark We're going for 75 K. And what do you what length is the movie? It'll be 90 minutes. So it'll be a full-length movie Give us a premise The premise is it's all about bullying and homophobia and group mentality and mob mentality, which you guys know me
Starting point is 01:19:39 You know that I absolutely can't stand mob mentality. I don't think any of us can and The premise the opening of the film is a younger woman in her mid 20s mid to early 20s She goes to a bar. She picks up on these two young kids. They're probably 1920 We find out later They got another bar with fake IDs and she lures them back to her van They're thinking three sometime right thinking this is awesome She ends up overpowering them with some really fancy driving and a gas mask and a canister. It's gonna be a fun action scene to shoot and she subdues them and then they wake up strung together face to face at
Starting point is 01:20:11 the bottom of an empty pool and an abandoned house and they're facing one another. They come to, she uses some smell insults, wakes them up and she says hey you two have been torturing my little gay brother for years in school and saying that homosexuality is nothing but a choice. Well, here's your chance to prove your little theory. You guys have to be gay for one another before I let you go. That's the jumping off point.
Starting point is 01:20:36 I don't know if you saw Drew in the Olsen Twins movie, but he's got chops. Yeah. And I'm thinking for him, he's one of the guys that can make them look young enough. I like the premise and for you uh... seventy five grand is a good chunk but it's not a lot in the moviemaking
Starting point is 01:20:53 world now it's not at all how do you budget this out if i was smarter adam i would have come up with a cheap idea to shoot a movie probably ten years ago but i'm not that bright night just right whatever comes to mind and i just started writing this this one and it occurred to me like on page 30. I'm like, Oh my God, I'm writing something really cheap for the first time. This is the first movie I've ever written for script I've ever written where I could actually make it with just, you know, how do you budget it though? You get people that are smart with numbers and crunching it. So the first thing did is I I put my script into a producer who?
Starting point is 01:21:25 Budgeted it all out. He gave me a budget from sixty five thousand to a hundred and five thousand What are you gonna shoot it on a lot of leeway digital right probably an Alexa? I would love to shoot some stuff on actual film. That's a goal for later Yeah, like road and a lot of us like it's a camera. She's 2k is what I shot all my shorts on It looks good. It's it's theatrical release. It looks really good How about those new red cameras? Red cameras are good too, but my DP is really proficient on the Alexis. My DP, fortunately, has been working in the business forever. He works on all the Christopher Nolan stuff. He just got back from Europe. He worked on
Starting point is 01:21:57 the new Dunkirk movie in the camera department. Director of photography? Director of photography, yeah. Oh, there's a Dunkirk movie. Yeah, it's coming. It'll be here next summer the The Reds the red gets hot. That's one of the things why they call it the red You got to stop because that overheats well, which so it's hard all these cameras are so big and bulky and like, you know Ten years from now, they're gonna be a joke and they're gonna be free essentially. So when what are what are some of the rewards then What are some of the rewards then? Having some fun with some of the rewards. The $25 one is essentially just like you want to see this thing and you're going to buy a ticket and a digital link to it beforehand.
Starting point is 01:22:34 So $25 gets you a ticket to the first screening for the supporters that I'm going to have once it's done as well as a link to the actual movie. And then the $50 range will get you a t-shirt. Cold Cockle Productions is my production company. I brought you one Adam. Here you go. Thank you. These are very cool. Cold Cockle Production t-shirt as well as an embroidered patch and some stickers. Just a little, how do you do? I am ironically this week on Friday I will be finishing the last of whatever for the crowd promises I did on my movie Well, you still haven't done all that well there well what now what happened was is they go like hey, we're coming to Chicago
Starting point is 01:23:13 We're doing a screening in Chicago come to screen in Chicago Then you get an email from someone and they go I moved to Dallas and then you go Well, technically this is on you And then you go, well, technically this is on you. It is, absolutely. If I'm coming to Dallas, and you'll get this too at some point. At some point, you'll make another movie, and you'll do another one of these things. And you'll want the person from Dallas thinking, well,
Starting point is 01:23:34 he did come out and we had drinks before the show in Dallas, and he did fulfill this thing, even though this person, I think, moved from one of the towns we're in. But you do the best you can. Well, when you did yours I mean, how do you do you even know the number of people that actually contributed by the end of it? I don't I don't have the grand total. I we could figure it out I think it was I you know, man
Starting point is 01:23:59 I for some reason I have the number like 13,000 or something jumps into my mind. Drew, it's totally insane, especially if you come from where I come from, when you crowdfund one of these things and you go online, you go hot, you put it up. And you want to talk about the funnest thing in the world, I mean, if it's going right, you'd look at the thing and it'd be like, oh, we're at the $61,000. That's cool. And then you'd go out and kind of go about your day and kind of forget about it a little bit. You'd come back and you're like, oh, we're 267.
Starting point is 01:24:36 And like, we just went out. You're like, oh my God. And then you'd wake up the next morning or 555. Like you're like overnight, like crazy. This is what really crazy stuff really rich people who play the stock market must feel like I think every time I'm looking at I'm thinking this is what people who have a lot of stocks are feeling yeah it's just we've never seen anything like it you don't
Starting point is 01:24:55 have anything to to compare it to but I mean we raised like 1.4 million dollars or something and it was a fairly short period of time. There was some times where it'd go up $100,000 or $200,000 in a day. It was crazy, but then we did have to fulfill, which is like me standing in someone's backyard doing stand-up. That wasn't it. Did you agree to that? Who came up with that?
Starting point is 01:25:22 I can't picture you sitting down coming up with the perks. Who came up with that. I can't picture you sitting down coming up with the perks. Who came up with your perks? I basically said, uh, whatever anyone else did before us is fine with us, but I don't have, I really have this thing where it's and I've done it. I've done it way more than once. I come to your house, I'll stand in your living room and I do a 45 minute comedy set. And my whole thing is sort of like I am not put off coming for right where I come from that somebody goes it's my husband's it's his
Starting point is 01:25:50 40th birthday I bought the $10,000 perk it's huge he's gonna go nuts like I can't be put off by that yeah yeah feel the stress of like wanting to deliver no no the idea that somebody would care enough to do something so thoughtful and interesting, Adam blows his head up, right? Oh. Yeah. Mind exploded. Well, what I mean is like, I don't want to spend Friday night in your living room. And yes, I do feel a certain amount of pressure.
Starting point is 01:26:15 There's a bunch of in-laws standing around who have no idea who I am. I can't just show up and keep it clean. There is that, but there's the part where it's like, where the wife is going, thank you, thank you, thank you. And I'm like thank you thank me thank no paid me a bunch of money who for a birthday present I sat at a table people are like be quiet don't talk like my whole childhood who could do this so some of the some of them are basic what's the most exotic reward ten grand which no one has gotten i
Starting point is 01:26:45 don't expect anyone to get it but that gives you full in the movie world producer is the number one that bigger than executive producer producers number one and uh... if if this movie goes on to win an oscar which i i intended to uh... they actually get the oscar so you got that groupers the movie dot com for the crowd was joking there by the way i don't believe this is going to groupers the movie dot com right the crowd. I was joking there by the way. I don't believe this movie's going groupers the movie.com, right? Yeah, but certainly Sundance not out of the question. No, no depending on the timing because it's a kind of movie that yes undead This is the first thing I've written where it's like it's definitely got a cause behind it
Starting point is 01:27:18 Yeah If you got a good theme and a good cause and a good anti gay or anti bullying or anti gay bullying or whatever It is it it helps. You guys ever see Black Mirror? I know we're going to go to a call but you guys ever see Black Mirror? The show out of the UK? No. It's like the closest thing to the Twilight Zone.
Starting point is 01:27:32 It's a great show. Season 3 just got released on Netflix. It's a fantastic show. It's very dark dystopian future about technology really taking a turn for the worst and screwing us and it occurred to me that the groupers is a cross between Black Mirror and South Park. It's definitely like those two are the major influences. Maybe a dusting of red state in there. Dusty, yeah, and definitely, you know, years of experience of working with you guys on
Starting point is 01:27:58 Loveline and hearing the calls and hearing all the issues that are going on out there. There's no way I can write this thing if I wasn't sitting there for all those years with you guys. Well, you know, it's weird. We always had this thought of the future with the robot that was going to turn on us. But it's not the robot. It's us turning on us using the technology. Communicating with the technology and then us turning on us. That's what Black Mirror is all about. You got to watch that. I think you'd really like it. All right, we're back. Adam, Drew, Anderson reunited once again. And now we have another clip for you coming all the way from November 2017. Adam and Dr. Drew show episode 720.
Starting point is 01:28:35 Not the 900, but Adam always mistakes the skateboarding trick. This one's titled Mobile Rape Capsule. Adam and Drew open the show talking to Collar about 80s and 90s music, leading to a conversation about the 1970s fad of custom vans with beds in the back. And this is basically just Adam and Drew talking about custom vans, basically Chevy vans, and all the accoutrement. Yeah, that was a fun episode of searching through
Starting point is 01:28:59 for different pictures of more and more extreme ones that proved Adam's point and blew Drew's mind. I don't really know why. I mean, after we saw the second or third one, I remember Drew just being astonished when I throw up the seventh and eighth one. I was like, oh my God, that's real. Like, you know, or stuff like that. So yeah, this is a fun one to go through on the picture side of things, which I know isn't always the best pod, but it's fun to go back and look as you're listening on the website. Agreed. And this ties into their years of riffing about statutory rock.
Starting point is 01:29:33 Gary Puckett's Young Girl, all these different songs that came out in the 70s that were all about trying to woo underage women. And this ties directly into that. So Gary, roll the clip. Drew, what bands do you like? You like Scotty,. So Gary, roll the clip. Drew, what bands do you like? You like Scotty, Snotty and the Hankies? Yeah, of course. They're my prom bands. You like Looking Glass? How long was Blues Traveler?
Starting point is 01:29:58 No, not Blues Traveler. They were the other prom band. No, you're saying Blues Travel, you're right. I beg your pardon. Blues image. Yes. Yes, blues image. Blues travel was 73 men say San Francisco Bay Right Captain right upon your Mistresship, there's a weird nautical songs in the 70s even Chris Christopher Cross? Yeah. That was right. Like the wind. Yeah. All right. How many guys was it? 73?
Starting point is 01:30:41 So when my wife says to me, now I told you 730 the movie started I let you said seven now It's 730 believe me. I said 730 and I heard you say seven and that's what I remember Nah, I'm pretty sure I said seven. Who do we believe? In that in that exchange true you with me No, I know not to question the the Corolla of steel trap, but it just I was sitting here thinking They played your prom. Oh, yeah, how many times they do the song like 11 I remember it coming kind of at the end. Yeah Yeah, I think that's three other songs
Starting point is 01:31:11 Ride captain ride drew probably longing for a custom van about them. Oh, yeah Yeah, horse custom van fan. That was custom. Oh god Mm-hmm, but I'm thinking still still, my head's back at that. Vans were so popular, there was a movie called The Van, just about vans. That's how popular the vans were. And by the way, they should have just called them rape containers. Rape capsules. Mobile rape capsules. Yeah, mobile rape capsules. Yeah, like you know what a bookmobile is?
Starting point is 01:31:46 Yeah. Inner city kids with books. This is that with rape. Yes, they were mobile rape capsules and all the songs you hear... There's a lot of young ladies who can't get out to the rape centers. And we bring them, this is us. Yeah, they have the thing, they have the book, they have the blood mobile, and they're coming to take the blood because people can't get to the hospital. A lot of folks, yeah, a lot of lower middle class folks can't get out to the rape Emporiums they bring you the rape mobile the penises that's right I'll tell you this driver of a minivan in college it did not have the same effect we're talking about the he's that we're talking about talking
Starting point is 01:32:24 about a van with a bed in the back that's what we're talking about the he's that we're talking about talking about a van with a bed in the back That's what we're talking about. Seriously oftentimes looking at me like I've touched a water bed Go look up pictures of like and a picture of a white tiger on the side Are Norsemen Or a giant like to Norsemen, like a viking on there. Or a giant Tahitian. Like those airbrush paintings. The guy Boris, you know, the guy who did the chick riding the snow leopard with the bikini made of pewter. Super practical. Just google in custom 70s van and then
Starting point is 01:33:03 and then do an image search and then do interior interiors Carpeted carpet all the inside right every inch is carpeted. Yeah the bed. Yeah, and then you you show no no no no Yeah, that's right. You shall see what a custom van looked like and when you get to the inside That's where the bar and the captain's chairs. I made one of those with my minivan I took out the captain's chairs. I cleared out the those with my minivan. I took out the captain's chairs. I cleared out the back. I put a rug in there. Sweet.
Starting point is 01:33:28 Nobody cared. Look at the interior of these things. Look at this. Yeah, man. It's a sweet ride. There it is. Sweet. A lot of plushness.
Starting point is 01:33:37 Yeah, a lot of crushed velvet. Crushed velvets and TV sets. It's so disgusting. Nothing was ever that nice. It was always the captain's disgusting. Nothing was ever that nice. It was always there as the captain's chair. Nothing ever worked. It was really just a mattress on a carpet. Right. Yeah. Somebody discovered shag carpet and then somebody figured, hey, we can put
Starting point is 01:33:55 shag carpet everywhere. Like we don't have to just put it in your house. We'll put it on the roof of your van. We'll put it inside the van. We'll put it up the wall. And everyone just went nuts with shag, right? Yeah. Which is the dirtiest, filthiest, shittiest carpet of all time. I just couldn't imagine it's the opposite. I remember people raking their carpets. Oh, yeah. All right. And we're now back for our final clip of this very special 1000th episode spectacular.
Starting point is 01:34:22 Again, if you'd like to hear these full episodes, podcast one premium, you can access the full archive. You can go back and be your own super fan Giovanni. Minus the T. Yes you can. Before we intro this clip and play it out, Gio, what are your thoughts on the Adam and Drew show? Like what is it that you love? What do you like about it?
Starting point is 01:34:42 You know, what do you look forward to? Just from a fan perspective. I'm a little too close to it. Well, I know everything about the show, so it's hard to not analyze recording and release schedule and incorporate that into my reaction to the show versus other people's. I liked the one hour format when it was just two taped back to back, but I liked to save them up and listen together because it felt like one giant fat love line. And now when they do the five day a week, I know what the recording session is, so what
Starting point is 01:35:09 I try to do is match up what the recording is and then pair them together and listen as one giant show. But I get so desperate because I love the show so much, I can't ever really do that, so I end up listening day and day as soon as they post. And I like the variety. So I like that one episode is calls, I like the next episode is some news story, complaining about golfing. I like that the next episode is completely different from that.
Starting point is 01:35:30 It's the air to Loveline. And my favorite part of Loveline was Adam and Drew just talking before the callers came on or in between when they weren't talking to callers and they just got off topic and they would just kind of get lost for 20 or 30 minutes. And it was very rare to happen on Love Line because of the commercial breaks. And the most you get is like 15, 18 minutes on a topic. And I find the Adam and Drew show was perfect. They can just deep dive whenever they want, take calls whenever there's calls.
Starting point is 01:35:55 And, uh, you know, every third episode is laugh out loud, hilarious. And then you get a lot of interesting stuff in there too. I think it's a perfect blend. The only thing I would change, maybe if I changed anything, is I would adjust the release and recording schedule so other people weren't bumped by it, but it seems like a very small complaint. Yeah, I agree that there is that small dissension out there, but yeah, for those who don't know, you alluded to it a little bit. The Adam and Dr. Drew show as it exists today is recorded one three and a half hour session that we then break into five shows.
Starting point is 01:36:29 So if you can hold off the way Gio was talking about and listen to all five of them as a block, you can sort of watch how the conversation evolves. It's a little bit different than if you listen to it day to day because it just feels like a bigger break and like new topics and stuff like that. But if you listen to the whole block, you can sort of hear how their day evolves and how their conversation changes. And it's a little interesting.
Starting point is 01:36:53 It's very new. That's something people don't usually pick up on. So they'll be like, why are they still talking about this topic three days in a row? And it's like, well no, they talked about it for 45 minutes. You're not doing the math in your head to understand it. So some people get bumped by it. But I really enjoyed're not doing the math in your head to understand it. So some people
Starting point is 01:37:05 get bumped by it. But I really enjoy that part of the show. Right. A perfect example is the shows that you will hear in the week to come. Tomorrow Adam asks me for a clip from Meet the Press. And I can't remember if it takes me until Wednesday or Thursday, but it's one of the two because he just gives me this one specific thing he saw on Meet the Press and it was so minor and not really notable or searchable that I wasn't able to find a clip of it. I just had to sit there and watch Meet the Press. I sped it up a little bit, but I had to watch. As it turned out, it was no shit the last sentence that he said before he signed off. There was no way to know that. I don't think Adam knew that. I think Adam saw a clip promoting the show or something. So he just saw that one moment. So he didn't know it was the end of the show.
Starting point is 01:37:53 So I had to watch 45 minutes worth of Meet the Press before I finally got to this clip and then it eventually gets paid off. So yes, if people are wondering why we're still talking about that four days later, that's why. I can only watch Meet the Press so fast. Yeah. Gary doesn't actually take four days to find something. No I don't. No, I try to do it as real time as I can. It's just if it's, hey, in this episode that's an hour long, there's this thing said and
Starting point is 01:38:20 it happens to be the last thing, it's going to take me a while to get there. If you had asked me any year before the show existed, 20 times before 2012, hey, would you want a show with Adam and Dr. Drew? I'd say yes immediately. Wait, wait, wait, wait. With Michael Nair in artwork. Yes, I'm saying yes.
Starting point is 01:38:35 No, no, no, no. Produced by Gary, sometimes Chris and Matt. Just a really great show with the cruel digital staff you love the most. Would you want to hear this? I've been over the moon. And I feel like the show's delivered on top of delivering. And the five days a week is a really nice way to have Adam and Drew with you every single
Starting point is 01:38:54 day. Whereas when it was just twice a week, it was great, but there was huge gaps where you didn't have Adam and Drew talking. Well, thank you, Gio. We love doing it. And I'm very glad that the... It gratifies me when you like something because you are the hardcore-est of the hardcore and have no lack of a library of past Adam and Drew to go back to if you want to. So I'm glad that you like
Starting point is 01:39:15 it, we like it, we enjoy doing it. And I think that's enough of us talking about ourselves and being proud of ourselves. I think we should go into our final clip. There you go. We'll do it again for 2000, Geo. Sound good? Yeah, 2000. Well, actually, yeah, there's 2635 Love Line episodes with Adam and Drew. Well, of their era. Adam missed about 100 and Drew missed about 200, and then there's some best of in there, too. So really it's somewhere around 2400. So if you guys pass 2400, you surpass Love Line. 2401. we'll do this
Starting point is 01:39:45 again how about that? That sounds good and this next clip is Adam and Drew show 829 this comes to us from May of 2018 the title is the power to extrude and to close out the episode I thought it'd be fun to have Adam and Drew talking about either brewing or some other activity Adam got up to with his buddies that Drew was endlessly fattened fascinated by And that's why we got the power to extrude, which if you're familiar, this is Adam and Drew talking about extruding. Uh, yeah, I got the caboose backed up to the jacuzzi jet on more than one occasion. And your initial offering, was it shared with others?
Starting point is 01:40:26 And your initial offering, was it shared with others? Would you do the move that Ryan would do and stand over them and share? Like from the coping of the school? That was just the one girl the one time. And it was kind of the fault of... The victim? The luck. You know, when you see a young young gown she's wearing a short skirt She's like she was drinking too much of the party and she passed out and the rugby team had their way through and they try
Starting point is 01:40:51 To blame the victim Wow. I'm not for that. You know, hold on Hear me out. I'm just saying it's me too. For you guys. It's me poo Now look I would never condone that. If that girl wants to wear a short skirt, or she wants a drink, that is her business, and she should be able to walk home in safety, and in no way, shape, or form, she deserved that or bring that upon her. But, if you were in a jacuzzi, and it's an in-ground jacuzzi. Yes, yes, yes.
Starting point is 01:41:27 And you're loaded up and walking by and there's a head floating above. Well, I'm sorry, that's your fault. I would agree. I'm sorry. Yeah, you should just keep your head submerged out of the line of fire. I'm sorry, look, my daughter says the same thing to her. Right here, right now. I wonder if the robots at Westworld would ever do this.
Starting point is 01:41:48 They're right, the humans are different than the Westworld robots. I kind of believe they'd rust out. The jacuzzi water can be pretty corrosive. Was it the Ray style of direct dropping upon the head? I remember, no, no, no. I had way too much decorum for that. You shot it across the coping. There you go. Into her back of her head.
Starting point is 01:42:15 Yes. I was like Sir Walter Raleigh. Of course. A big hat, a feather in it. I remember a couple things. I threw my cape down over Ray's jacuzzi ass juice. The woman could walk across it. Walk across, of course.
Starting point is 01:42:29 And took your head off and swung it across like, this right this way, m'lady. I threw my cape down. I remember you could fill up in this jacuzzi like quite easily. You mentioned that once or twice. How easy it was, number one. I remember that feeling of being full up quick was like, it was a quick fill. And I remember that feeling. I also remember the feeling of the power.
Starting point is 01:42:56 You know what I mean? I know what it feels like now, John. The jet. No, not the jet. Oh, the power which you had in your possession. Yes. No, not the jet. Or the power which you had in your possession. You were walking around with like a 630-06 loaded, ready to go, already cocked. Yeah, yeah. And then a certain urgency, like no talent.
Starting point is 01:43:16 That's shocking. And it's not an exact science. When you tell those smooth muscles to go time, they could be able to delay sometimes. Yeah. Ever caught with your pants down? My recollection was that when it's time to go, it's time to go. Yeah, there was no waiting. Yeah. But it was pretty doable.
Starting point is 01:43:40 And think about the fact that you'd be arrested today for that. I think nobody would believe it. I think it'd be so bizarre and sensational that people just could never believe squirting water out of your ass. But you know, we didn't have we have video games. I get it. We had to make do. We didn't have video games. I get it. We had to make do. Alright, we're back. That was the 1000th Adam and Drew show spectacular.
