Starting point is 00:00:00 Hey, hey, welcome back for another edition of the Adam and Dr. Drew show classics. I am your host, Big Brother Jake, aka Jake Warner. My government name. Let's get it started. First up is episode 548 that aired on March 30th, 2017. Adam and Drew welcomed wrestling legend, Diamond Dallas Page to the show. Talk about his yoga, talk about his career, and fun was had by all. Check it out.
Starting point is 00:00:33 Diamond Dallas Page was beat up by many, many years of wrestling, and so are many other guys by many, many years of wrestling. And it's probably the most unnatural thing you can do to your body. I mean honestly. When you fall for the first time like you gotta fall flat right? The first thing you want to do is bring your arm back. Like that's what everybody does. You start falling off your chair you bring your arm back. When you bring your arm back you're gonna whack your elbow or throw your shoulder out. So they make you like do like the craziest thing like the guys on all fours and you bring your hands on his
Starting point is 00:01:06 back and you get your feet up in the air and then you just fall right yeah yeah i remember i went to wrestling camp once with jimmy i remember doing a whole bunch of unnatural stuff jimmy if you see that bit he got thrown at the end and he got jacked up he did not get up quickly now. I felt bad for laughing It made for good television, but Yeah, it is one of these things where it is Unnatural and People look at it is so this sort of you know violent ballet or something that these guys are taking a beating. That's it I mean, what's what's what's natural about ballet though? Walking around on your tiptoes, man. But it's an art, you know, and really what we do is an art because we're trying to get you and just get that element of disbelief. Like it
Starting point is 00:01:55 was like those two, like we were me and Randy Savage. Oh, yeah, the macho man, you know, that guy, snap into his limbo. Like he was amazing. And he was a god for years. When me and him wrestled together, we were the few to year in 1997. And I'd have people come up to me all the time and go, you know, I know this, it's wrestling. A lot of that stuff's fake out there, but you and Savage, you hate each other.
Starting point is 00:02:18 I loved him, yeah, but I hate him on TV. Well, it's a- It's like the Andy Kaufman thing. Right! We wanna talk about a group though drew I mean you hear about NFL interior linemen and you hear about the abuse of painkillers and the life after the NFL and so on and so forth, but I don't know anyone who has a worst batting average in professional wrestlers in terms of drug abuse, joint
Starting point is 00:02:46 stress, you know, I mean these guys, I, I, more than it's funny because you think well football, now there's a sport or whatever, but you take football, you take baseball, you take basketball, you take bull riding, you take boxing, you take MMA, you take any sport and you show me the average guy ten years after he got out of the sport I don't think there's any guys worse off physically than wrestlers. Well, they first of all we have no season I remember being when whoopie had These Hollywood squares so I was out for one of those and someone's like hey did he pia when's your season? When's your off time? Yeah when I'm injured
Starting point is 00:03:24 When you're injured you got to pain kills and go out and like else today The WWE's wellness and I'm not blowing smoke. I'm shooting here They have the best wellness program with anybody because you can't even take a pain pill unless it's like it goes right through them But back in our day That's how we did that and Jake in the movie, you know, he's addicted to everything. One night we're out. I became like Jake's gopher. Like I would do it whenever Jake because I wanted to learn from the master. And one night we're out after working and he throws a Percocet in his mouth and he chews it up. And I think it's a Percocet but I'm not positive
Starting point is 00:04:02 because they taste horrible, right? So I said, Jake, was that a percocet? He goes, yeah. I go, why would you chew that? Those taste like shit. He said, goes right into your system. I've seen you take a few. How many are you taking today? I don't know, nine, ten, like not even thinking about it. Like that might have been 15 or 20. Right. And I said, why are you taking so many? He said, they lose their potency after a while. So remember, I'm 36 years old at the time. I've just started, like I started at 35 and a half. I'm thinking, I need those things to work. And the reason why they don't work as well, because you mix them with the booze.
Starting point is 00:04:42 They don't work as well because you get tolerant to them over time and you just have to escalate the dose until you stop breathing and then you die. That's it. So we have a lot of guys going. Diamond Dallas Page basically, you know, how do you keep the weight off? Well, then so then it becomes this horrible negative cycle which is your joints are killing you so you can't move so you put weight on and now it's more stress on your joints So how do you keep the weight off? How do you exercise? How do you get mobility back when you don't have mobility and so DDP yoga came about which? I just think sort of ingenious because that was the only way guys like you and a lot of these other guys who are essentially Bad you couldn't hit the treadmill but you know for me it was all
Starting point is 00:05:27 out of necessity because I'm that guy who wouldn't be caught dead doing yoga the first 42 years of my career in my life period but when you start wrestling so late I'm the first guy to ice my body no one in professional wrestling ice their body for years and they're watching me do it put the ice on my knee wrap it up put it on my back. What are you doing? Taking down the inflammation. And they laughed at me. I mean they had a lot of fun with me on that. Today, trainers, they got it all. But back then, when I got to 40 and my career took off in 1996, I was on 270 nights a year hitting the mat and it would be the equivalent of the main event
Starting point is 00:06:07 not that I was wrestling in five six car accidents in a match and my body is taking a serious beating but the adrenaline of that 22,000 people and just the drill live in the dream at a whole different level and it got to a point where now I'm like top guy in the world and I blow my back out. I just signed a multi-million dollar three-year deal. I don't get paid if I don't wrestle so three different spine specialists told me my career is over now. This is where DDP yoga comes from and Depression, you know the whole deal but I pull myself out of that because I don't stay depressed. I get depressed, but I don't stay there. I find that way to attitude of gratitude, to get myself out of that hole. Okay, what are we going to do? And I was married at the time and she
Starting point is 00:06:54 was like, you really need to try yoga. It could help you. She knows how I feel about it. So reluctantly, I went down and she showed me a cup. No, I'm not doing that one. No, not doing that one. And I find the power yoga. Okay, I'll try that. I can't do anything. I can't do the moves. Superman. So inflexible at the moment. And I keep doing it though. And I figure out the modifications. And in less than three weeks, I start to feel a significant difference. I'm doing the rehab too. And I've had both shoulder surgeries, both knee surgeries. So I know a little bit about rehab and breaking up scar tissue. So I mix the rehab with the yoga positions. Then I throw in old school calisthenics, slow burn movement, because I can't go up and down.
Starting point is 00:07:40 I can't hit the weights. I'm doing them on my knees, the push-ups I lower for three Hold for three come up for three lower three hold for three then go into Cobra in the down dog Eventually, I got my knees Eventually was three second become five five become ten ten become sets of ten My body's getting stronger like I can feel like I'm gonna get back in this ring Less than three months. What is today? No deep yoga. I'm back in the ring. I feel the same way. I feel about yoga the same way I feel about meditation which is everybody... it's easy to make fun of
Starting point is 00:08:15 but everyone would benefit from it and we talk to people all the time who are like I'm supposed to get back surgery or I'm whatever and it's like just start getting into yoga start stretch and start Start something but anything but just go under that knife the worst thing man And the Hulk has had eight back operation now the guy who I've been reaching out to today big time though Tiger Woods one of the greatest athletes we know ever of greatest golfer He has had bad back problems and he's had three operations
Starting point is 00:08:44 Like if I had got with him before he had that operation I know I could turn it around because I just know what I'm doing and I've figured out a way to I don't I it's it's a I mean it's weird but I do I look I don't have back problems with everybody we've talked to that has them I just don't know anybody who wouldn't benefit from this versus the knife. You had them when you were depressed remember? I did I did have them when I was I had a combination of being depressed and you know working on a roof all day.
Starting point is 00:09:15 You'd fall off a scaffolding with a power saw. No I haven't I have not had a and I haven't had a back ailment since I started doing what I wanted to do That wasn't wrestling doing comedy. So I didn't have to worry about it so much. But boy, there's a couple things with the back When I was when I hated my job and I hated it with a passion I would wake up Monday morning at 615 and go I can't turn my head my neck felt like he's filled with poison I that's what it felt like people say though. What do you feel like? I felt like there's poison in my neck like I can't if you stand behind me and say boo I have to walk around to see who you are. I'm not gonna turn my head
Starting point is 00:09:57 Drew knows I'm not a puss. I have like a high pain tolerance and I was Immobile and and I was young and strong It's just that's where my mind was at and the second I met Jimmy the and I was young and strong. It's just that's where my mind was at and the second I met Jimmy, the second I got in a radio, the second I started doing comedy, I've never had another back and I've continued to box and be active and do stuff. Well, the way this stuff is really perpetuated today is with the painkillers. Right.
Starting point is 00:10:19 It guarantees it, as you said, more than two weeks. We were talking about that the other day. More than two weeks of painkillers, you're on. It's game on now. Yeah, I wouldn't, well, by the way, I was so poor and whatever, I didn't even have an aspirin at my house, so my neck didn't work. I just lay back on my futon and hope to die. Like that was it.
Starting point is 00:10:35 But this, again, like yoga is right up there with like meditation. Like if everybody just carved out a few minutes every day to do a little this and a little that, we'd have a much better society and everyone's back would be better too. I can sign on to that. But to tell the story about falling off that scaffolding, it's an amazing story as long as we brought it up. Two minutes. I was working in Silver Lake. I was on the- Roofer? No, I was just a glorified goon, as they called them. I was just labor. People glorify construction like,
Starting point is 00:11:08 oh, you're working with a master carpenter and you're an apprentice. No, I'm a guy who picks up shit walking around. I just pick up garbage mainly and throw in a dumpster. I'd work my way up to being able to use the tools a little bit. And of course they just give you the shittiest job ever. And the shittiest job ever was a house up in Silver Lake. On a hillside? On a hill. Yeah, of course. So the front door was at street level and then the bedroom was like downstairs, you know, walk down the stairs that go down the hill. So it was kind of a two-story house
Starting point is 00:11:42 and the kitchen was up on the first floor and they had these cement stairs like steep cement stairs that went down the side. You know, you know the stairs, the community stairs up. Yeah, it looks like that. Those are the ones that Laurel and Hardy were pushing the piano up. Yeah, that's very hysterical. You could walk down to the street below you if you wanted to do a little ivy and stop at a certain point. Anyway, the Stooges had a couple of these stung stilts on the stairs thing. They built a scaffolding that not went from the ground up, but just two by fours that went out the window and had a platform plywood seat on it. I was sitting and I had a skillsaw, the hypoids saw is called, and I had a carburant blade, I think it was. I was cutting stucco
Starting point is 00:12:23 above my head. It was a mace wrinkly. So you're sitting in a window sill. Sitting in a it was. I was cutting stucco above my head. It was a masonry blade. So you're sitting in a window sill. Sitting in a window sill while I was hanging out of it. Your ass was hanging out the window sill. Well, they made a seat. A seat. Wow.
Starting point is 00:12:33 This guy's got your hubble written all over it. You're two stories up. Yeah, my feet were inside on the sill. My ass was outside about two foot, and I was holding this big saw, cutting stucco, which is a mess. I just plunged it cutting it over my head and stuff just rained and you're covered with sweat so it just comes down on top of you and sticks to all you and you feel like a wire inside right wire. Yeah it's called laugh. Yeah anyway the thing
Starting point is 00:13:03 with no real warning like it didn't start creaking or anything, just popped and it just went. Like the thing I was sitting on just went. And so I found myself with my feet just dragging down the side of this stucco building and I knew I was going to land on the cement stairs. And I knew it was like, it's going to be bad because I was going to land sort of half on and half off. Like I wasn't going to get... And had a presence of mind but I didn't remember
Starting point is 00:13:32 it happened so fast I what happened was is I went down the building my right ass cheek landed on the step my left ass cheek was in the air but my left palm went down onto the ground and then the scaffolding came down and I was really quick. I grabbed it and pulled it and grabbed it over my head like Wile E. Coyote with the umbrella when the boulder would land on him because I said that saws right behind it. It's a big saw. I wasn't wearing any you you know, card hat or anything. Why would anyone wear that? But as it turned out, I had thrown the saw inside of the house, which was good, but my ass hurt pretty bad and my wrist hurt pretty bad. I imagine the neck thing was perhaps initiated there too. Alright, we're back with another segment of the Adam and Dr. Drew Show Classics.
Starting point is 00:14:32 Up next is episode 560 that aired on April 17, 2017 titled Tim Tebowization, which the fellows discussed Drew's appearance on Adam's old TV show, Adam Kurovava and friends build stuff live and have a pretty hilarious interaction regarding this appearance take a listen I'm on spike tonight at 11 o'clock me and Jen Elfman enjoy that show It's gonna suck without me and my wife on there everyone loved that little vignette drew a lot of laughs Well, they like the toilet seat, to be fair. They liked a lot of it, I'd say, but lots of good laughs. I didn't know the part, I didn't see you guys on the part where my son plays the whorehouse music.
Starting point is 00:15:14 That was very funny. I don't know, you know, certain parts of comedy are sort of intellectually funny and then some are sort of rhythmic in the way he was playing the whorehouse. Well, and it was cut right to him perfectly Yeah, yeah, that's a very funny. Gary's got a question about Yeah, I just I wasn't there but after you taped that episode Jenna Elfman was tweeting a lot tagging you and me No, Adam and Steve Martin Is there any reason is that some kind will that be revealed when I watch tonight or I don't think so
Starting point is 00:15:47 But I'm not sure maybe she knows Steve Martin I've never met Steve Martin and I'm not smart enough to see she wrote a lot of nice stuff but I'm not a not shrewd enough to even know that you know like like somebody was calling me a hypocrite and Because you have said some things about her. Have you come around now? No, not about her. Don't be a douche.
Starting point is 00:16:10 Sorry. No, I've never said anything about her. I've said things about Scientology. Oh, she's Scientologist? Oh, Jesus, Drew. This is tough. It's really difficult. But I know.
Starting point is 00:16:20 And no, my point is this. I'm not good enough to figure out the hashtags and who else is looped in on it most of the time, so I never... So somebody said like, what they say about me, hashtag ass, asshat or something? Astard. Astard. I didn't even know it's hashtag, hashtag astard, until somebody, Gary later explained that they did the hashtag astard.
Starting point is 00:16:43 On the show, during the show they did No, no, I'm jumping around subjects here It was me giving me giving like my opinion on Trump or the guy dragged off the airplane or whatever my opinion was He was not enjoying my opinion on spice or whatever. Whatever it was. I think that's there. So you're an a start I Am evidently commenting You're not commenting on ass-tards. No. Well, no. But... I think a fuck-tard runs off the tongue a little better. I like that. Yeah. I agree. So, Drew, what's going on with you? So I got a couple things. So the Spike thing went well, yeah? That was all right? The Spike thing? Yeah, that worked
Starting point is 00:17:21 out. The French one wasn't very prominent. I thought some of that was very funny. I agree. You go around and film for three hours. I whack it down to three minutes and at a certain point, I just run out of hours in the day in terms of like going over and going through and navigating. You just give up. Well, you know, I have this sort of thing which is the stuff, the bit was strong. I don't know, I make my notes on it, but there's a big difference between making my notes on
Starting point is 00:17:56 what they're giving me and going, give me everything you have with the French tilesetter, I want to go through it all. That's going to take a little while. Yeah. And this, since this version is a good solid eight and a half or nine anyway, I don't know what I'm missing over that, but considering my schedule, we'll just move forward. Yeah, I get that. If something is hurting or missing or, you know, just sort of a four and a half or five,
Starting point is 00:18:24 now we got to go back and show me everything. Totally get it. Although what you started with the tile on the door jam goes on to this day. Oh, what happened? Remember you was too flush with the door jam and you didn't like the wood in the door jam? Well, you got Mrs. Pinsky spinning. Really? Oh yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:43 She didn't she agreed wholeheartedly with you and it still goes on how we're gonna solve those problems. Well are you gonna put casing around the door, Jim? I'm imagining that's what she's gonna do. Okay. I don't know. I don't know enough to know. I just stay out of it. Everyone just needs to know that in carpentry when two sort of surfaces come together it makes for a bad seam unrelated surfaces or I'll give you it's always this. I mean I always kind of tell people this You put in your door jam. Yeah, and
Starting point is 00:19:16 Now it's time to put the casing around the door. You never put the casing flush with the door. Jam you slide it back Heavy would be a quarter inch. Weak would be an eighth, about 316. Just like a healthy eighth or weak quarter. You slide it back. And you pointed that out during the walkthrough. Right, because if you put it flush, it just makes for a bad seam. It'll make a bad crack.
Starting point is 00:19:40 And you could caulk that crack with your finger or whatever. It'll come back. It'll just peek through versus creating a step in a detail. Yeah. You get to create more detail. Yeah. So that's kind of the rule of thumb. So when I was seeing your jam sort of just flush up with the tile and maybe grout right
Starting point is 00:19:57 up to the jam I was picturing kind of a bad joint. Yeah. So now if you're going over it with casing... That's fine. That's fine. Right. So I'm hoping that's what they're going to do. She's actually taking issue with the tile and how they put the tile in and blah, blah, blah. Yeah. That's why I got out of the business.
Starting point is 00:20:15 I noticed... Your wife. And all of her ilk. Because you're not dealing with anybody else, are you, when you're doing construction? No. Well, every once in a while I'd say that you have a gay man once in a while. Yeah, and the broken shell of a husband where I'd go, you know, your wife said put down the quarter round, but I think she meant base you, it's much better. You wait till Susan gets home, like, oh, I'm gonna go get it now. No, no, don't do anything. Don't
Starting point is 00:20:44 tell her I said it was okay. I mean, she finds out, I it's it's it's it's it's about just sit here can we just hug can we just spoon until she comes home I don't want to get into trouble I don't want anything I don't know what you're talking about but I don't want any trouble like I just throw my hands up and come out I'm out yeah guys guys scared to death yeah yeah so I literally and she literally knows a lot more than I do and I really don't know what the hell I'm doing as you well No, well, she has to know something and she knows a lot more Yeah, I was trying to figure out how much time it would take me if I were gonna do the screw Adam Contest mm-hmm if you needed somebody at the bottom on the show that I would easily easily command that well I'm trying to think now how fast I could do it,
Starting point is 00:21:27 because ultimately, I'm going to have to attempt to best Trace Atkins or whoever's at the top of the leaderboard in a little competition. If you can finger cut off first, you have to do a little bit of a handicap. You know, the reality with me is I'm not you know, I handle tools for me It's it for me It's it's a thought process that I have the advantage over everyone because I know how everything is done
Starting point is 00:21:53 You know I've done everything but it's not really about how many screws can you sink in a log in 10 minutes? It's more like I see visually Everything I just see it in 3d in my head when we're talking about whatever it is. We're talking about I see it I've laid it out. I just see it in 3D in my head. When we're talking about whatever it is we're talking about, I see it, I've laid it out. I know exactly what everything is. Which is, you see it, like a doctor, I guess. Or a surgeon, you just see.
Starting point is 00:22:17 You know, when I talk to guys and they're going like, well, you know, we could open up the kitchen wall, but it's not just about putting a header. We gotta get down and underpinning, and we gotta dial in the existing footing, a poor pattern, whatever. I see every single thing they're talking, I see exactly what they're saying.
Starting point is 00:22:37 We'll be right back with more of the Adam and Dr. Drew Show classics. All right, last up for today, Dr. Drew Show Classics. All right, last up for today we have episode 585 which aired on May 21st 2017. Jimmy O. Yang from Silicon Valley fame stopped by to talk to the fellas and they discuss how conservatism gets shows canceled in Hollywood. Here we go. Jimmy O. Yang is here from Silicon Valley and many other endeavors. Lots of movies coming up, lots of stuff, lots of heat around Jimmy O.
Starting point is 00:23:12 But this is the most important thing in my life to me. You've got to understand. You're joining my two dads. I'm serious, man. I know it seems like I'm like, you know, I really kiss an ass when I'm up here, but I'm not. You are, but it's okay. I literally wrote down I look back like I have a sheet of like goals that I write like every year and maybe five years ago you know one of my goals was like get on TV show do some movies and then also get on the Adam and Drew show I I'm not kidding or you know the Adam Carolla family. I am so flattered. I'm tickled pink that you said that.
Starting point is 00:23:48 And I like this idea of sitting down and writing goals down. I have this kind of rich man, poor man kind of thing that I like to do. And Drew knows some of it. And like rich man, poor man, there's a million of them. But there's some good ones like owns a sword and it's like that's a poor dude fighting off the cops and his underpants like on pass salts and then that's the rich guy with over the fireplace you know the family crest and all that like that middle you know
Starting point is 00:24:20 middle of the road you know we're a couple of school teachers and we drive a Ford Taurus they don't own swords you know that's the road, you know, we're a couple of school teachers and we drive a Ford Taurus They don't own swords, you know, that's the top and the bottom. To be fair The rich guy's sword is actually forged steel by a samurai. The poor guy's sword is a broom handle that he thinks is a sword. No, it's something he bought from the army surplus store to protect himself on the street You know, because he spent a lot of time on the street, you know But I started this sort of rich man poor man thing and people would tweet me their rich man poor man stuff and it was always like started off with outdoor shower like that's a rich dude
Starting point is 00:24:54 move the cabana by the pool and everything and also what Adam did outside his mom's garage but as I think about, lists are the domain of the winner and the loser. If you just think extremes, because I know people who are like, I'm going to write down my goals for 1997, you know, and it's like, you know, half those people are losers. And it's like, I want you to just go out and quit smoking, make more eye contact, you know, all that stuff, and then they're just right back to it the next day. Like, I feel like they can be New Year's resolution type things and just go the way the dodo, but there are other people who write the goals down and go, that guy's on top of it, that
Starting point is 00:25:38 guy's sharp. You know what I mean? It's a feast of famine with the writing down of the goals. It makes me wonder whether the writing down makes any difference i think so i think it's a sort of random but it's in the eye of the beholder it is that it there's there are people who write it down and go out and treat it as a punch list and go take care of it and then the ones that are just doing it so you can
Starting point is 00:26:01 they can be a lot easier but i. But I absolutely agree with and understand what you're saying but it makes me wonder if the list itself really is what it has anything to do with it. What it has something to do with is just this guy says I want to do a couple things and he starts doing them. What I'm saying is when Jimmy O-Yang makes a list it's a good thing. When my buddy Ray makes a list it's a bad thing. You see what I'm saying? I think the list makes you see the opportunities more clearly, right? Let's just say for the Adam and Drew thing, like I want to be on this show, I want to hang out with you guys. So when I made that on the list and then when I saw my friend Fred Stoller on the show, I was like, Fred, take me on this show! So
Starting point is 00:26:41 now I have a clear goal and when the opportunities came I know that you know But I read about it. Yeah to plug it in yeah, so it's it's go to show bug Fred Yeah, you know you're a stroller to make that list happen I I this may be the factor that makes every list work is Fred Stoller Yeah, I gotta tell you that you know we spend so much time Talking always about education and have and have nots and the chasm. Forget all that. Just the showing up, like, you know, I had, oh, let's see, oh, I had Charlemagne the God in here. And he's DJ, author, all around interesting cat, you know. And I sort of thought he was going
Starting point is 00:27:25 to come in and start up with my white privilege and how his black life mattered and stuff and he wasn't that way at all. He was just like, I was, you know, 19, 18, 19, I was fucking up. I had no excuses. My parents were pretty good, educated, so and so forth, that I was a fuck up. I was dealing drugs, that's kind of a mess, and I want to get my shit together. And I thought about doing radio, so I showed up at the radio station and they sort of said, we don't need anything. And he was kind of like, for free, you don't need anything for free, and then he sort of went to like, they sort of shooed him away, you know. Every business has at the by the front door that's there just to shoe yeah it's like
Starting point is 00:28:09 like when you go into the Costco and the doors open you get that big whoosh of air so so no gnats fly in there's businesses it's just radio stations have a woman who sits there that shoes like hey get out of here go on get you know you just go hey do you guys need go get out of here go on get out of here, go on, get, you know, and you just go, hey, do you guys need, go get out of here, go on, get out of here. And he just sort of went like to the sales department, he said, I bet you guys wouldn't mind someone who would work for free, and they're like, I don't want to work for free. Yeah. And the next thing you know, he's on air, and the next thing you know, he's going over
Starting point is 00:28:37 to power or whatever, and the next thing you know, he's, Wendy Williams brings him over to New York or whatever it is, but just just that you know what I mean? Like that show up, make a list, go get it. Like yeah. That's what you did too, right? It's what I did. Every successful person I know did a version of that, but it's never discussed, is it Drew? We have brought it up a number of times, but not nowhere else do I hear it. Not any political forums or anything. It's just that there's this thing where they go, look, there's the haves and then there's the have-nots.
Starting point is 00:29:15 But then we never go, well, what? Yeah. So plenty of people have a lot of stuff. So we just got to kick something down to the have-nots. And it's like, that's's not really it's like saying There's a lot of a students a lot of students So why are you what are you doing with all those a's there Jimmy and true and how about me? I'm D minus F How many wait you get straight a's I get a bunch of D's
Starting point is 00:29:38 What do you need all those things you could give me some of your a's come on. Give me some a's You know you give me two a's you give me two a's now's. Come on, give me some A's. You give me two A's, you give me two A's, now what do you got? Well, you got four A's, and I'll have four A's, two because I got two from you, two for you. Clearly, O-Yang's A's are because of Asian privilege. Yeah, obviously. You can't spell Asia. But it does bring up an interesting point. Why don't we let the guys have the A's, and
Starting point is 00:30:04 then when we bring up the D minuses, why don't we bring up the D minuses? Why don't we bring them up without bringing the other guys down? Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, but Drew, when I'm elected, I'll tell you why. You want to know why? Because these people who are getting the D's, they come from families that don't get A's historically. So we can't expect them. Oh, I see.
Starting point is 00:30:24 All right? And they're poor. I see. And a lot of them look different than we do. And not only that, you know how you got your A's? Making sure they got D's. Oh, I see. That's how you got, you guys do know that? Did you not know how you got those A's?
Starting point is 00:30:36 I put my heel in the throat of the D's. Lifted yourself up to get to top of the chalkboard. With the rarefied air. On their necks. Well, how else? How else? Well, look, if you didn't do it, ancestors, grandparents, you know what I'm saying? All right, so now that we've established...
Starting point is 00:30:51 Oh, yeah, you too, his ancestors? Absolutely. Well, hold on. I don't care about the... Well, we did in the old country and we brought into this country. Not interested in your country of origin, so the color of your skin. Do you have A's? Yeah, I guess so.
Starting point is 00:31:01 Well, then you stepped on somebody. Yeah, exactly. Okay, so now, you guys who stepped on people to get your A's, Well then you stepped on somebody. Okay, so now you guys who stepped on people to get your A's, right? Or I don't even know if those are your A's. Your dad could have given you those A's. So it could have been daddy's A's. So you had this ill-fated plan for us to lift these people up? How can we when you're stepping on their neck? Okay, so why don't you take a couple of those A's. By the way, Drew, do you need six A's? Don't you think you'd get by with four?
Starting point is 00:31:28 Jimmy, what do you think, four A's? No, no, no. You need all six, Drew, right? You're not paying your fair share of A's. Kick some of those A's down to the D students. And by the way, you think that's how D students get smarter? You drizzle some A's on them while they're on the ground? Does that help them? They taxing you A's man. You see there's a new bill coming through California, which is going to stratify
Starting point is 00:31:54 moving violations, parking, car violations. Oh, I do know what you mean, but I wouldn't know what stratify meant, but I know what it means commensurate with your income. And I defended it a little bit based on your experience, because you talked about how that really could screw you up, because then you get a warrant and then you get... That is what's screwing up. And I would definitely be fine with the... There's two things. Uh-oh, now I'm getting angry.
Starting point is 00:32:23 Jimmy, watch out, he's two things. Uh-oh, now I'm getting angry. Uh-oh. Jimmy, watch out, he's angry. I would be fine with the, here's what you do if you pay this much. Here's what you have to do. But also, and they're gonna have, they gotta have categories. They gotta make 100 grand a year plus, 500 grand a year plus, a million and then above or something like that.
Starting point is 00:32:46 They've got to break it down. They'll break it down a few ways. That's fine. I'll be in the top group. I get to go five miles an hour faster for every group I'm above. Okay. Okay. So I get to go like 95 miles an hour.
Starting point is 00:32:58 So you get some benefit to being in that group as well as of higher liability. Well, it's the only, it's the way- Call your congressman. It's like I say all the time, it's the way every single facet of life works. Should work. No, works.
Starting point is 00:33:13 Not should work, but the government. I'm going to Vegas this weekend. Vegas is a little snow globe of how everything works, which is you can come into their facility Vegas is a little snow globe of how everything works, which is you can come into their facility and play nickel slots if you would like, but you don't get comped a room and you don't get comped a show and those well drinks dry up pretty quick
Starting point is 00:33:37 because you're just there. If you'd like to be a whale and come in and sit at the high rollers table and push a lot of chips out in front of you, you will get a you, you will get a room and you will get to see Celine Dion because that's how their business works. They know exactly what they're doing. The day somebody tells them, hey, you got to give comps, you got to comp a suite to
Starting point is 00:33:56 the nickel slot players too, that's the day they go out of business. They can't work that way. And then it's also not fair to go, look, the nickel slaughter's not getting the room, so you big whales who sit at the big big-time table, you don't get one either because they don't.
