Welcome back to the Adam and Dr. Drew show classics. I am your host, Big Brother Jake
aka Jake Warner. Welcome or my name? Let's get to it. First up is episode 1519 that took
place on January 12th, 2022. It's titled, Once You Pick A Side, You Go Hard. Take that as you will. Adam had a huge
disagreement with some members of the crew. He wasn't happy about how it was handled.
And it all ended up being funny at the end. So check it out.
All right. So what show do you want to do, Ruzbeh?
I've got tickets to the Thursday podcast and the stand-up after
23rd. Oh, there you go. So I
Guess there's a night stand-up show. Yeah, so is that the one where you want to do early Thursday?
So the screen says are my looking at that?
I'm you guys got me all day. I'll do whatever you need because we're the only show works for you
Yeah, but doesn't
don't
but we're still doing ball pulling after the
Right, yeah, I think I don't know why it's early. We haven't been on stage that much in the line
I know that's my memory, but we're still gonna carve out 20 minutes at the end for the ball pulling
We're still going to carve out 20 minutes at the end for the ball pulling on the pods. Oh, then I'm wrong.
I rarely say this, but Chris, please chime in.
I thought that was going to be in the second show, so I'm wrong.
Well, I think we've been doing it in both, haven't we?
Or am I making it now?
Don't ask Brian and I.
Now I'm taking crazy.
No, only ball pulling in the late show.
Oh, really?
He has tickets to both.
Just be in the audience.
The screen says he wants to pull balls for the early show.
That's the podcast.
So I'm going, oh, well, do it for the...
So Gina goes, well, the Late Show, right?
And I go, no, he wants to do the early show.
They're like, there's no ball pulling.
Well, Gina at least went, I don't know.
Please don't ask me. But then when Dawson comes in you can see okay now we're in
Yeah, now I don't know what Brian wanted what he didn't want to make me right. Did he what he want?
I I think it from an outside perspective here and I hadn't seen this clip before today
I believe this is the first time ever where they will be on stage with you physically and then you will dismiss them
Is that the key plan?
We'll grab you and we need you early show should not be up there. That's confusing
Because you'll be pulling balls at the late show
Do we do we pull balls in the live pod Brian? I have never been a part of that. No
And the one San Diego show I was at, Adam Ray was there.
Yeah, you did it with Adam.
Well, that's a live pod, right?
No, that was Adam Carolla's unprepared.
We pull balls in both the podcast and the standup.
We've been doing that for two years.
Haven't I been saying that?
What?
You have done it, but we have not been there.
You just missed.
We've done it in Jam of the Band and we did it at Belly and then you did it.
This time you're doing two shows.
Thanks Chris.
I know.
Well, so might be.
All right.
Why am I feel like I'm taking crazy pills?
I too feel that way.
When we do shows with Adam, Brian, are we part of a segment where somebody comes up
on stage and pulls balls?
No, what happens is Adam dismisses us, but we're on zoom from here.
Typically.
That's why we have no,
Thank you.
Okay.
That's why you would have a recollection of the podcast segue into balls.
Yeah.
But to be fair to you guys in slight insanity, we cut it off at like an hour or
something and I go, all right, now you guys can go to pull the balls.
That's why I was confused.
It's not what we're on stage. The last And the last times that you guys have been on stage
with Adam was Jam the Van and Belly Up. All those times we've done balls as well. It's
been consistent. I was in at Belly Up.
Now Brian was in Belly Up. Jam the Van or ball pulling?
No I left in Adam Ray's stage. It's getting tedious.
It doesn't matter I guess. All right, Dawson, where are you getting your info?
You know, I don't remember, I remember Adam Ray pulling balls for the second show.
No, Woody pulled the balls on Jam in the Van, I think.
Right.
All right, so anyway.
Yeah, just come to the show, Roosby.
Look what you've done, Roosby.
You can do either show.
All right, so how do they know something that they know or don't know?
Where's that come from? And then imagine these people on a fucking witness stand.
I know. Well, this is the function of memory, right? Memory is reconstructed. And a lot
of it is...
But how does it pertain to the group? You know what I mean? It became sort of three
and a half against one or something at a certain point. Why choose a side?
I'm the one who's on stage.
I would just say this is what I do.
I don't know why.
There was a couple moments there where I thought to myself, don't go around at a time, Gina.
Don't do it.
Don't.
Just stop.
Just stop.
So I didn't know what that was all about.
Well, what it was about was an incorrect assumption and then a defense of it.
Yeah. Jam in the Van was several months ago. then a defense of it. Yeah.
Jam in the Van was several months ago, wasn't several years ago.
Yeah.
Gene was out with us.
Yeah.
And so was Brian.
Was this like a thing of like driving kind of thing?
Is that?
No, it didn't.
It was an outdoor event.
Yeah, yeah.
But it doesn't matter.
I think the fact that we were doing that, I think how nutty this all is.
It's an interesting concept, this thing.
It happens to me frequently where I have
Groups of people going now. Well, the memory is a spectrum, right?
Some people have screen memories of what happened and they're accurate some people can literally
Open a book and read from a page out of memory
other people wife
Reconstruct memory out of whole cloth.
It's reconstructed.
Well, the most injuring component is Dawson, because Dawson has been at many of these shows
and sits there.
And what's interesting is I, my whole life, have had screen memories that are very accurate.
My son has the youthful version of that, which is extremely accurate.
And I just tell him, I roll the tape roll the tape what happened
Here's the here's the concept. I'm I want to drill down on yeah
Why do you know with certitude something that's the part of truth why not look I'm the one who does it
That I've done this too quiet. I've done 250 of these shows
I was willing to entertain the thought that I didn't do it. I understand that that's virtuous
It is yes. Thank you. I think being self questioning is virtuous
I think hubris is something to watch out for and certain certitude is built on hubris and I understand it because I've done it
I've been my whole you know, I wonder is from practicing medicine so long
I had to have a lot of certitude in
some of the decision making I was having, but I see it in other people and it's kind
of unpleasant when it comes out because it just doesn't lend itself to discourse, it
doesn't lend itself to ideas, it just sort of stops something.
What did Brian want Chris to do when he called for you to chime in?
That's the question.
By the way, Drew, I was at home with COVID.
I'm over Zoom just yelling into my mic.
Brian was hoping that I could clear things up for them.
He thought I was going to be on their side as well.
He wouldn't have called me to shit on his point.
Yes, I agree.
But how did we get three people?
This is insane too, because Drew, before every live show,
I send a rundown to all of them. Here the plan you guys are on here after we let you go
We're doing unprepared. Well you every single you see you seemed incredulous when you came in like
How could you guys be thinking this right? That's what you were thinking. Yeah. Yeah, I was with Adam
I was this is so what do you I was yelling into my mic, but Dawson had me muted
I would have chimed in way earlier I'm like Caitlin get Dawson unmute me. I'm trying and Gina frequently disagree with me
I so when Gina put the offering out Brian jumped on it and Dawson frequently disagrees
So he got that this offering well, hey, would you like here's another one?
Adam and they went oh, yeah, we're in do it with such conviction that That's what we're remarking about. Do you have any sense of what that is? No I don't
actually. But there is an interesting thing here which is I never get to have other people
to gang up on you with and I imagine that is appealing. It's easier. I imagine it feels
good. Well it's three against one at a certain point. So I kind get it, but I would certainly resist it. It's not a good. It's not a it's not character
Thank good character. Well, it's a little bit of a domino effect Gina floats it
Brian seizes an opportunity to disagree with me. So he jumps on board and then so there's a there's a history here
That's coming to bear
But there's a but this that's coming to bear. They disagree with me on lots of stuff. But this is interesting.
It's interesting.
Well, it shows the power of it because you can take something that is eminently knowable
and doable and we've done a million times and turn it into something else.
Here's the deal.
Dawson, I think, is just the last dominant.
He's just going with the group.
Agreed.
Riddle me this though.
You wouldn't have much of a show if people were too scared to stand
up to you. So at least they've got each other to make them feel like they can kind of question
things.
Yeah, but one would argue at a certain point it becomes too strong a theme. You're going
too far in a certain direction.
We're just simply trying to get through this guy pulling balls for the early show. Chris signed him up to pull balls for the early show because we pull balls for the early show
We're trying to get through it. That's sort of hysterical. Oh my god, the inner workings of the show
It's it's the inner workings of a mind
Well, it is well of a group of I'm in a mind right because there's memory function and there's group dynamics here, too
And there's history the history part is what I wasn't thinking about
It's an interesting. It's an interesting glimpse
Psychologically behind the curtain because Dawson who's been to many of these shows was certain that we didn't do this
Oh, yeah, and I who performed this at every show was willing to entertain
The thought that which is virtuous. I'm in a bed. I did. Which is virtuous. I'm gonna bet...
I don't care about me. I'm more curious about Dawson Sertiton. I'm gonna bet he's one of these
people that recreates memory out of a whole cloth. There are people that do that. How are you
recreating a memory of something that takes place on every show? I'm telling you there are people
that do that. That's how their brains work. Not that they couldn't train them otherwise, it's just how they work.
Here's what I think. Most people, and I've learned this from Jimmy Kimmel, once you pick
a side, you go hard.
See, now I'm going from, you're right.
You pick a side and you go hard. You don't pick a side and then go with a question mark.
That's sort of disgusting to me, frankly I don't like that quality in people most people do it. Hmm
That's how people work because they want to win the argument. You're not gonna win it with question marks
You got to pick a side and you got to go hard
So weird that's like being the opposite of growth
You know, well, it's what kids do. Yeah, that's that's the phenomenon
Yeah, I mean gene and bald were were sort of willing to go back and
forth a bit, but it's an interesting dynamic. And again, it's every show. But again, they
weren't there in person for many of them, but they were in person for many of them.
And as Chris said, they get a rundown on all of them.
Yeah, well, we will also, the show's 90 minutes.
If we end at 60, that means I'm continuing on.
It's interesting.
It's an interesting dynamic.
It is interesting.

that how that transpired?
It's hard for me to... I was trying earlier to justify my mind, but I had forgotten about
the in-person shows that they've done around town, Jam in the Van and such.
That's hard to understand.
I believe they don't read their rundowns.
All right.
Well, I don't read the rundown either.
What was transpiring there psychologically or emotionally?
I mean, I think you called it with Gina and Brian like Gina just will say the thing that comes to
her mind. If something's confusing to her, she's just going to jump on it and say it out loud.
That's something that she does. And I think Brian, as you correctly pointed out,
we'll see any opportunity to shit on a point and to join in on the fun.
What's blowing my mind is that you guys are all saying that the final vote comes down
to Dawson.
You guys are all confused about why Dawson's confused.
And I love Mike Dawson, but he smokes more weed than every single person in the city
combined.
And cigarettes.
Of course his memories are fucked up.
There you go.
I know.
Drew, now see what you just did?
Yeah.
What'd I do? C do cigarettes don't make you confused
No, but they fuck with memory function they do
cigarettes and pot they bought while pot
Typically cigarettes over years create all kinds of okay. All right. Well I
Historically comedically. Oh, yeah, you'd stick with the pot. Okay, fair enough angle fair enough, but interesting
All right quick break right back after this.

all right I'm next we have episode 1542 that aired on March 7 2022 the fellas
talk about counterculture and a discussion of counterculture from the 70s
to now. Very interesting listen check it out.
Yeah I mean I'm interested in the counterculture that so basically what here's what happens if you
if you want to know how all this stuff works. They sit around and the counterculture
sits around.
You're talking about back then or now?
No, now.
Now.
Well, how this all got going.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
They sit around and they go, I mean, they do the same thing that the right, the religious
right used to do. It's like you sit around and you go, those mean, they do the same thing that the right, the religious right used to do.
It's like you sit around and you go,
those people are going to hell.
And then you sit around for a while longer and you go,
they're still going to hell.
And then at a certain point you go, I gotta get involved.
I gotta save them.
I gotta shut some shit down.
You know what I mean?
So they're-
Behind it there was like, God, I hate my dad.
Yeah, it's always I hate my dad.
But it's like, look, I'm going to sit here.
I'm going to ride my bike to work.
If I even have a work, I'm going to grow my beard.
I'm not going to do their fools errand that they call life.
And let them eat their meat and drive their gas guzzlers
and go to work for the man and pray at their church and stuff.
I don't need any of that.
And then after a while,
they went, well, I'd like to stop them from doing that. That's kind of where we're at.
So it's kind of like, let those idiots on Fox say whatever they want, who cares, nobody's
listening, they're racist or whatever. Then after a while. It's like well Fox is beating you in the ratings. Oh
Okay, so we should stop them now
That's that's that's kind of what it turns into or you know
Let Joe go Joe Rogan go talk about whatever he wants with any nutjob
UFO guy comes on show then at certain points like he's beating you in the race. Okay. Well, we need to stop it
Then that's that's kind of what it is.
Because remember it goes from, I know everything about COVID, these nut jobs,
fringe doctors, epidemiologists, let them go spew their nonsense and then at a
certain point it's like, ah we got to shut them down. That's kind of how it all works.
In a weird way there's another wrinkle to that. Listen carefully. So there are people
that are exactly like you said and they sit in judgment of other people. But when you
hand them like a sledgehammer, then they want to use it. Right. And it's not even just because
back when I was on HLN, we get our ratings every day.
And here's how we look at our ratings.
Fox News was at the top because it had the highest ratings.
We'd fold the page over because Fox News was between 5
and 10 times what everybody else was getting.
So it's like, OK, we can't even look at that.
Let's look at MSNBC and CNN and see what else is going on.
So there was not back then, in spite of being severely beaten, this sense that we had to
destroy them.
But then along came social media and council culture.
And now they could.
So now it's on.
So you give them a violent weapon, they express what's really underneath all this, what's
kind of violence.
They would say, no, I'm I'm peace peace man. I want peace
I want you know, I want people to be enlightened and understanding man
So you know it's all it's all Ellen dancing
It's like why you guys talking about good vibes so much. It is Ellen dancing because see to me
Not being a racist live and let live I
Don't want to tell you who to worship or who to marry or, you know, I'm not interested
in any of that.
That requires silence.
But it's essentially like not saying anything.
But it also falls under the heading of a default setting.
Yes.
I don't need to announce.
Right.
I'm for, you know, equality, you know, and I'm anti-racist.
Like, I, what do you need to announce all that shit? It's, it's, it's your D, it'm anti-racist.
What do you need to announce all that shit?
It should be your default setting.
It should be in your DNA, yes.
Yeah.
But so what's with all the proclamations?
Yes.
Makes me wonder what you're thinking about.
Well, that's what I'm saying with the sledgehammer again.
There really is sort of an aggression underneath it.
Oh yeah, oh yeah, No, that's the look look
If you want to know if there's an aggression underneath it
Cross them go ask them a question get in their face disagree with them and
See the crazed the craziness dream aggression. Yeah extreme aggression come out of them. Yeah
All right.
You want to try call up there?
I do.
Let's try Sean on line two.
Sean.
Hi, Guy.
Hi, Guy.
Oh my God.
I've been waiting so long to say that to you too.
What's going on?
First time, long time.
Yeah.
And I just want to start off by saying thank you to both of you
You make me feel sane hearing what you think about things. Oh good
So question kind of for both of you last summer I
Got meningitis took can't believe it, but it took like five weeks the first diagnosis. I got was carpal tunnel
What it was a hot mess. Yeah.
It was, it was crazy. Um, so five weeks they couldn't figure out what was wrong with me.
And finally I found a neurologist that was like, gave the cementingitis and several weeks
in the hospital. And by the time they figured out what was wrong with me, I lost like 25 pounds.
And by the time they figured it out, they were like, yeah, you've pretty much gotten
through the worst of this on your own, so we're not even going to treat you for it.
Never got steroids.
They said like the standard treatment was steroids.
Was it meningitis or encephalitis?
Okay, so Drew, you may understand this.
I got to learn all about it.
It was aseptic meningeal encephalitis.
Okay, okay.
Meningeal encephalitis, so it's both.
Wow.
Yes.
Wow.
So it's essentially viral, probably.
That's crazy.
Yes, that's what they suspected.
But they couldn't find like a pathogen or anything in my CSF to pin it down on where
it came from.
But they did do a lumbar puncture and they did see evidence of meningitis or infection.
They said, so I'd got two lumbar punctures.
They said the first one by white blood cell count was 800.
Wow.
And that was really high.
And then the second one, it was down to like a hundred.
And so based on that, they said, you know what, it seems like you're healing up on
your own. Things are going back to normal. Never gave me any treatment.
Yeah. Well, that far in, you're lucky though, man. Things can go bad. You can get seizures.
You can have sort of brain swelling.
I was hallucinating really bad.
I'm not mad.
And they said I was pretty close to going into a coma
because of the, what was the level?
There was one of those blood bubbles
that went way off, I can't remember what it was.
Probably the opening pressures,
the pressures in your brain were probably really high.
Wow, wow, wow, that's intense, man.
I'm glad you're better.
Yeah, it was crazy. So the the question piece of it I
Bind the Adams philosophy around like don't you so yeah?
I'll use it occasionally, but you know I try to live that like I'm trying to keep my immune system
Strengthened by using it so my thought was that's why I got through it on my own
my wife is like super pissed at me.
She thinks that, you know, oh, it's because you don't wash your hands with soap all the
time, blah, blah, blah.
She wanted me to, you know, use hand sanitizer more.
And I'm like, no, I think it's I, you know, got through it on my own because I have this
strong immune system because I use it.
Well, so most people do get through this sort of cult on their own, unless it's like a herpes
virus causing it, in which case you have to take Zovarax, things like that.
There are other antivirals these days that they might have used early on.
Of course, they would have used steroids as well if they'd gotten you earlier, but most
of it kind of does its own thing for the most part. You know, it's based on your cognitive
bias. Really, either you got it because you didn't use soap or you got over it because
you didn't use soap. I don't know which it is. That's why we have randomized control
studies.
Yeah, I mean, it's not provable, but I mean, what is provable is we're hurting our immune
system by not giving it a workout. That's right
Thank you very much. Well done Sean. Thanks for the call. Appreciate it. All right, we'll take a quick break
We'll be right back right after this
We'll be right back with more of the Adam and dr. Drew show classics
All right last up for today we have episode 1529 titled, The Ones Who Care The Least Do
The Best, which aired on January 27th, 2022.
The followers once again talk about the styles of the 70s again, mainly TV and movie stars.
Check it out.
A couple of people on Twitter were tagging me that they wanted us to talk about more
70s stuff.
Oh, good.
And I know that you'd like to hear that.
And I thought, well, the love boat's not enough.
That's not good enough for you guys, hearing all the love boat talk.
No, no, 70s specific stuff.
Yeah.
Well, I'll tell you what I stumbled on to the other day when I was doing my program.
Yeah.
Hold on. Do I need assets for this?
You're going to need that weird haircutting tweet
picture somebody cooked and sent me.
Okay.
You might want to look up the flow bee too while you're at it.
That's-
We're going to go into haircuts.
No, no, no.
Well, go ahead.
OK.
I first off, I distilled down and I'll I'll I'll ask you.
No. Worst year.
One year. Not a range of years.
One year. In the country's history?
No.
The categories are automobiles and architecture.
If I said you must live in a house built in blank year for the rest of your life and drive
a car built in blank year for the rest of your life.
Now I'll give you a clue.
Do they need to be the same?
I'm going to help you.
They need to be the same year?
Same year.
It's the same year.
Yeah.
I know the zone.
I definitely know the zone.
I know you know the zone.
Let me see if I can come up with it.
You have to pick the exact year.
Okay.
Give me a hint.
What hints?
Oh, you said you were going to help me out.
I'm helping you out by letting you think in silence. Oh
I
Mean here's what here's what never sit down already. Well
Here's here's the what my head goes right god they tore down
Pennsylvania station in like 1972 that was an all-time low, but they didn't build
Madison Square Garden to like 73 or something like that.
And then the Pacer and the Gremlin, that's like 72, right, or 73?
Yeah, you, all right, I'll help you.
You have to think early 70s, but, quiet. When you,
you must realize that the end or the beginning of the decade still has a lot
of residual from the decades before architecture wasn't as bad.
Yeah.
Weren't as bad.
Yeah.
Well they were bad,
but bad in a different way.
I was just thinking the exact of that.
But then the Brady bunch house now we're getting into the later 70s, was the full flowering of all the-
We're getting in the mid or later. Not the later 70s. The Brady Bunch started in like
76.
No, like 74 or two or something like that.
Well, that would be kind of the full flowering of all the avocado and burnt orange. I'm still
going to go, I may be off and I'm willing to take my knocks, but I'm going to put 73 down there.
All right.
It's 1974.
74.
Okay.
Not bad for me.
No, not bad.
Yeah.
Not bad.
But this is in your wheelhouse.
Yeah.
Well, you know what I'm not clear on are the exact dates that I was referencing.
If you can give me the date that Gremlin came out, that would probably pretty much do it
for me.
It could have been 74. It could have been 76, 75.
No, I don't think of 76.
Well, the point is the cars were a disaster. The architecture was a disaster.
Disaster? Do people not know this?
And hairstyles. 1970 is when the Pacer came out?
Gremlin.
Sorry, I was doing Gremlin.
Oh, you said Gremlin.
Oh, I was picturing the Pacer.
How about the Pacer?
Pacer was a couple years later.
Gremlin was earlier.
I did say Gremlin though.
Yeah.
Well, you said Gremlin and Pacer?
I did say Gremlin and Pacer.
Okay.
But then I...
I was picturing the Pacer, sorry.
February 75 for the Pacer.
Oh, interesting.
See, that makes me more right.
Yeah. Yeah. All right, so
Then by the way, the pacer was the response to the gremlin
Genius was the gremlin now
They had to bring up something like it is so Jesus. Well now the other problem was
It was all in the hairstyles.
Yeah.
So...
Maybe that's the other thing I was thinking, what was the hairstyle?
My hairstyle bottom was 73-70.
Well, no, it probably came a couple years later, yeah.
Hairstyle bottoms were a little bit later.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But the...
So...
But here was the problem.
It wasn't the hairstyle. It wasn't the hairstyle.
It wasn't the architecture style.
It wasn't automotive style.
It was that everything needed to be that of the time.
Then nothing else. Right.
So you have anything else if you had, you know.
On the on the west side here in Los Angeles, there's these little streets and there's all these like duplexes and quadplexes or what
is it, Spanish Adobe kind of things built in the 20s. Marilyn Monroe probably lived
in one for a while, you that kind of stuff and early on
you know I'd have some friends from the groundlings or whatever they had a couple
of roommates and they ever inevitably ended up in one of those units you know
and you'd walk into the unit and it had all the charm of the 20s Spanish style
hacienda duplex or whatever the hardwood floors and the coved ceilings and stuff, but you'd go into the kitchen
And remember the kitchens were good for about 45 50 years. So they all got blown out in 1975
Oh, and then they all got replaced with avocado and burnt orange and bad
you know the all the authentic tile got blown out and they put the
orange and bad, you know, all the authentic tile got blown out and they put the laminates on there and everything was a disaster.
And then you'd go into the living room and see the cottage cheese, acoustic cottage cheese,
sprayed onto the ceiling or sometimes a drop acoustic cardboard ceiling, you know, with
lights, you know.
Often they'd carpet these wood floors too.
Oh, often, all the time. Yeah. And so what it was, you know. Often they carpet these wood floors. Oh, often. All the time. Yeah.
Yeah. And so what it was, was that you had to conform. Yeah. Because, but here's why
I am so impatient with this. We've, the, the, the, some of the stuff that's going on today,
it's like, we've now figured it out. We now we have figured out. Now we know how people
ought to be. That was the cry of the six from 68 to 76. That was it
Right a new world order to peace we figured it out
This is how it's gonna go and everything has come before everything is shit. But here
Here then lies the problem
That is delusional and horrible
No, I mean look
Anybody is free to wear their hair. However, anybody is free to wear their hair however they would like to wear
their hair in these modern times. And then whatever suits your hair is how you should
wear your hair.
Right. Well, sir, let's say it more clearly. Your hair, your face, your head, your hair should be optimized for its, how
it looks, for its beauty effects.
Whatever the word is.
Aesthetic.
Aesthetic.
There you go.
But, much like the Spanish villa that was built in the 20s, you're trying to 70 size
it, that's not what it was built for.
And so you get a little distance from it,
it looks like shit, right?
Little time, just like you look at the old photographs
of the hair.
So the problem wasn't so much that the aesthetic was bad
or wrong, it's that we forced everyone to comply.
Right, if you had curly hair like Adam, we had to turn your hair into Leif Garrett's hair
or Farrah Fawcett's hair somehow, no matter what.
That's how you had to look.
If you were in the rock and roll band in the 70s, you had male pattern baldness.
We had to grow your hair out and flop it over the side.
Had to. Oh.
Well now.
Well, how about, I don't know if you noticed, well, this is the really interesting thing.
In the 70s, it was considered like, uncool isn't a strong enough word, to let your ears
be shown.
Right.
Couldn't see your ears. So look at Captain Steuben's hair.
Right.
He has a tiny rim of hair that grows over his ears.
It's weird. So even he had to be 75'd. 70-ified.
So now there would have been nothing as a Jason Statham or The Rock or someone who just shaved their head.
No. Think about what they had. For them to do that do that Captain Stubing before the shooting every day
somebody with a round brush and a handheld hell dryer had to
Had to straighten his little rim of hair over his ear. You know, who's a forgotten comb over?
Johnny Carson. Oh
Really?
Gary that picture that I think Chris has about Carson and the comb over where you see
the two big streaks of gray go through it is going to be eye opening to you, Drew.
Interesting.
He had a big time comb over toward the end.
I mean, he was Mr. 70s.
Would we call him a good thing from the 70s? Well kind of but the comb-over was was a little tough
That's all for this week. Thanks again for listening to the Adam and dr.
