Welcome back to the Adam and Dr. Drew Show Classics.
I am your host, Big Brother Jake, aka Jake Warner.
My government name.
Let's get to it.
First up is episode 1519 that took place on January 12, 2022.
It's titled, Once You Pick A Side, You Go Haul. 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, Ruzabay?
I've got tickets to the Thursday podcast and the stand-up after
23rd. Oh, there you go. So I
Thursday 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
Yeah, I think I don't know why it's early we haven't 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
still going to carve out 20 minutes at the end for the ball pulling on the on this on the pods oh that I'm then I'm wrong I rarely say this but Chris please
chime in I thought that was gonna 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 now don't ask
Brian and I 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 in the early show.
Well, Gina at least went, I don't know, please don't ask me.
But then when Dawson comes in, you can see, OK, now we're in.
Yeah, now I don't know what Brian wanted.
He didn't want to make me write, did he?
What did he want?
I think 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?
We'll grab you when 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 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 with Adam.
But 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 dismissed...
We've done it in Jam of the Band, and we did it at Belly. And then you did it. We've done it, but we have not been there. You dismissed Janice 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 do 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 one.
Thank you.
Okay.
That's why you would have a recollection of the podcast segueing 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 for.
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 wasn't at Belly Up.
Now Brian was at Belly Up.
Jam the Van?
Ball pulling?
No, I left and Adam Ray stayed.
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.
You know, Woody pulled the balls on Jam in the Van, I think.
Right.
All right, so anyway.
Oh, yes, that's true.
Yeah, just come to the show, Roosby.
So, 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 does 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.
Jam in the Van was several months ago, wasn't several years ago.
Gene was out with us and so was Brian.
Was this like a thing of like driving kind of thing?
It was an outdoor event.
But it doesn't matter.
I think about 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
Reconstruct memory on a whole cloth 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 heart of truth why not look I'm the one who does it
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.
Brian and Gina frequently disagree with me. I understand that. So when Gina put the offering
out, Brian jumped on it and Dawson frequently disagreed. So he got this offering. Well,
hey, would you like to disagree with Adam? And they went, oh yeah, we're in. And they
do it with such conviction. 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 of get it, but I would certainly resist it. It's not a good,
it's not a, it's not character. It's not 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
Dawson... So there's a history here that's coming to bear is what you're saying. Well 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.
But here's the deal.
Dawson, I think, is just the last dominant.
He's just going with the group at this point.
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 just trying to get through it.
That's all.
It's sort of hysterical.
Oh my God.
The inner workings of the show.
It's the inner workings of a mind.
Well it is.
Well of a group and 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.
But 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 I didn't.
Which is virtuous. I'm gonna bet...
I don't care about me. I'm more curious about Dawson Sertikin. 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. I thought they couldn't train them. Otherwise, it's just how they work
I here's what I think
Most people and I've learned this from Jimmy Kimmel
Once you pick a side you go hard
That's the scene out now. I'm going from you pay 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 sort of what willing to go back and forth. Yeah, that's that's the phenomenon. Yeah, I mean Gene and bald were sort of what willing to go back and forth
Yeah, yeah
But it's an interesting dynamic. Hmm, 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.

Gary, Matt, what is your take on 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.
Sorry.
Well, I don't read the rundown either.
Or they don't read them properly.
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 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.
Of course his memories are fucked up.
There you go.
I know.
Drew, now see what you just did?
Yeah.
What'd I do? Cigarettes don't make you confused. No, but they go. Now see what you just did. Yeah What I do cigarettes don't make you confused
No, but they fuck with memory function. They do
cigarettes and pot they well pot
Typically cigarettes over years create all kinds. Okay. All right. Well I
Historically comedically. Oh, yeah. 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, up next we have episode 1542
that aired on March 7th, 2022.
The fellas talk about counterculture
and the discussion of counterculture from the 70s
Now very interesting listen check it out
Yeah, 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
Yeah
they sit around and
The counterculture sits around somebody back then or now no now no well
How this all got going? Yeah. Yeah
They 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 people are going to hell.
Yeah.
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 got to get involved.
I got to save them.
I got to shut some shit down.
You know what I mean?
So 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 kind of what it turns into.
Let Joe Rogan go talk about whatever he wants
with any nut job UFO guy comes on show.
Then at certain points, he's beating you in the ratings.
Okay, well we need to stop him.
Then that's kind of what it is.
Because remember it goes from,
well 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 gotta shut them down.
That's kind of how it all works.
In a weird way there's another wrinkle to that.
And 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 wanna 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 five and ten times what
everybody else was getting. So it's like, okay, we can't even like look at that. It's
looking like MSNBC and CNN and see what else is going and CNN and CNN and CNN and CNN and CNN and CNN and CNN and CNN and CNN and CNN and CNN and CNN and CNN and CNN and CNN and CNN and CNN and CNN and CNN and CNN and CNN and CNN and CNN and CNN and CNN and CNN and CNN and CNN and CNN and CNN and CNN
and CNN and CNN and CNN and CNN and CNN and CNN and CNN
and CNN and CNN and CNN and CNN and CNN and CNN and CNN
and CNN and CNN and CNN and CNN and CNN and CNN and CNN
and CNN and CNN and CNN and CNN and CNN and CNN and CNN
and CNN and CNN and CNN and CNN and CNN and CNN and CNN
and CNN and CNN and CNN and CNN and CNN and CNN and CNN
and CNN and CNN and CNN and CNN and CNN and CNN and CNN
and CNN and CNN and CNN and CNN and CNN and CNN and
and CNN and CNN and CNN and CNN and CNN and CNN and CNN and it's kind of violence. It's kind of, you know, they would say, I know I'm peace, peace man.
I want peace. I want people to be enlightened and understanding, man.
Well, it's all Ellen Dancings. Like, why are you guys talking about good vibes so much?
It is Ellen Dancings.
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 I'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.
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 craze, the craziness.
Extreme aggression.
Extreme aggression come out of them. All right right, when I 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.
Got it.
Uh, so question kind of for both of you, uh, 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?
And it was a hot mess.
Yeah.
It was, it was crazy.
Took 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 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, 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 like 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.
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 question piece of it, I buy into Adam's philosophy around
like, don't use soap. 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
why, 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 call on their own,
unless it's like a herpes virus causing it, in which case you have to take
Zovrax, 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.
Can't tell.
Yeah, I mean, it's not provable, but what is provable is
we're hurting our immune system by not giving it a workout.
Thank you very much, Sean.
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.
Somebody had 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, love boats, 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.
Hold on, am I gonna need assets for this?
You're gonna need that weird hair cutting tweet
post picture somebody cooked and sent me.
You might wanna look up the flow beat too
while you're at it if you're going to go into haircuts.
No, no, no.
Well, go ahead.
Okay.
First off, I distilled down and I'll ask you.
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.
Can we hit?
What hints?
Oh, you said you were going to help me out.
I'm helping you out by letting you think in silence.
Oh.
Uh.
I mean, one narrows it down already.
Well, here's 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 till like 73 or something and then the the Pacer and
the Gremlin that's like 72 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 it
with architecture wasn't as bad yeah weren't as bad yeah yeah yeah well they
were bad but too bad in a different way I was just thinking exactly that but then
the Brady Bunch house now we're getting into the later 70s was the full flowering in the middle later. Yeah, not the later 70s
It's Brady Bunch started. So it's 70 now like 74 or two
so that we got a full flowering of all the avocado and burnt orange and
I'm still I'm still gonna go, you know, I may be off and I'm willing to take my knocks
But I'm gonna 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 could 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 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, 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. All right. 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.
The genius was the Gremlin.
Now...
That they had to bring up something like it is so... Jesus.
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, 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 architecture style.
It wasn't automotive style.
It was that everything needed to be that of the time.
There's been nothing else.
Right.
So.
You couldn't 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 a little Spanish
Adobe kind of things built in the 20s.
Marilyn Monroe probably lived in one for a while, you know, it was that kind of stuff. And early on, you know, I'd have some friends
from the Groundlings or whatever,
and they had a couple of roommates,
and they 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 and
then they all got replaced with avocado and burnt orange and bad you know all
the all the authentic tile got blown out and they put the laminates
on there and everything was a disaster, right?
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, was that you had to conform. Yeah, because, but here's why I am so
impatient with this. We've, 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. It's a new world order. It's peace. We figured it out. This
is how it's going to go. And everything that's 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 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, 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, or whatever the word is.
Aesthetic.
Aesthetic, there you go.
All right.
But, much like the Spanish villa that was built in the 20s, you 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.
Woo.
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. I would think about what they had. For to do that captain stewing 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.
He was the one, you know, yeah.
Yeah.
Would we call him a good thing from the 70s?
Well, kind of, but the comb over was a little tough.
That's all for this week.
