Welcome to another episode of the Adam and Dr. Drew Show Classics.
I am your host, Big Brother Jake, a.k.a. Jake Warner, like every man name.
Let's dive right in.
Up first, episode 275 titled Terrible Threes.
That aired on September 27th, 2015.
In this clip, Adam tells tales of Dave Grohl,
you know, the drummer from Nirvana
and the Foo Fighters lead singer.
You know who he is.
He talks about his concert going at an older age
and hilarity ensues.
Check it out.
You know, what really struck me
or what really strikes you about the Foo Fighters
is the music's great.
It's the work ethic.
It's like how hard Dave Grohl and the rest of the band work.
When they're performing.
Yeah, well, he has a broken foot right now, so he's in a boot.
So they built him a sort of a rock and roll throne, and that where he does the show and then the thing moves around
and i was gonna say it seemed like he was down front and stuff too a bit i mean they had these
huge screens behind him which were awesome where was this it was at the fabulous forum wow but um
what i'm saying is is he's not gonna let a broken ankle cancel a tour where he has to be up on his feet playing the guitar and run all over the stage.
So what do they do?
Compensate.
They improvise.
Yeah.
And compensate.
And then came up with something better in its own way.
You know, so 30 years from now when people are talking, you know, Foo Fighters are dead or retired or whatever, and everyone's sitting around going, I remember I've seen a band.
I saw the Foo Fighters.
I'm going to be the guy who goes, I saw them with the Rock and Roll Throne tour.
And not the whole tour, like the Forum around the country, around the world.
I don't know, 17,000 seats or 15 or 19.
I remember when Chick Hearn used to always go, it's the house that Jack Kent Cook built, 17505.
Yeah.
Mustard's off the hot dog when he blows the cha-cha.
In the popcorn machine. 17-5-0-5. Mustards off the hot dog when he blows the cha-cha. In the popcorn machine!
17-5-0-5.
Always you would repeat the number of people in the audience.
But it's more like
15 because they block off the back half.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's not
full like it would be if it
just the Lakers playing the Celtics there
back in the day. But alright, so there's 15,000
tickets sold. Whatever it is.
So you break your ankle so now um the doctor says how'd you break your ankle and you say rocking and then you sniff
when you're done and then he says well like doctors always say it's my favorite thing doctors
do well no way you never told me this no more it's a favorite thing doctors do. I can't wait. You never told me this. What's the favorite thing we do?
My favorite thing is when you explain to them how you injured yourself.
And sometimes it's football.
Sometimes it's skateboarding.
Sometimes it's riding a BMX bike.
But oftentimes it's doing something that is your passion.
I mean, usually it's never, well, I was temping and I broke my ankle.
Like, it's never something you don't give a shit.
Or I was attending a class at junior college just for credits I didn't really care about.
Like, you always bust your ankle shooting hoop in your league, your pick of your weekend league or whatever it is.
Whatever it is you do to injure yourself, it's done playing high school football or done
whatever. It's your passion. You don't get injured
pursuing your non-passions.
You're just waiting for a bus.
So what do we do? Doctors always
say, whatever the activity is, well,
no more of that. No more of that, yeah.
No, there will be no more of that.
But that's in the movies.
All right. Come on. I've seen it up
in the movies.
When people flick their cigarettes, they do it in slow motion, right?
Right before something blows up.
That does happen, right?
Like, even if I just go out in the parking lot and flick a cigarette in slow motion.
Well, only if it's heading for the gasoline.
Yeah, but even if it just lands on the ground, it'll blow up, right?
Yeah, that's true.
No, I've talked to doctors and had shit happen.
Shoulders?
Shoulders, whatever.
Whatever it is you do, they go, no, no more of that for a while.
For a while, all right.
Right.
And the thing, yeah, they won't tell you you can't play doubles tennis for the rest of your life.
They'll just tell you you've got to take some time off.
And all I'm saying is you can't say to Dave Grohl.
No more rocking.
No more rocking for a while. I have a tour and I've sold thousands, tens of thousands of tickets in advance.
Did you talk to him afterwards?
No, I talked to Pat and I talked to Taylor.
There is no, oh, the drummer.
Dave was not around.
There's no nicer person than Dave Grohl.
Taylor's a great guy, too.
Taylor's a really nice guy
and Pat's really nice
I don't know Pat
but I literally run into Dave
like out in the world
he'll just stop
and have a conversation
and he's interestingly
has that same kind of
personability on stage
I talked to his mom
for a while
yeah
sorry
go ahead
no but I'm interested
where'd that go
because often times
he'll have questions
about his parents.
I had to, well, first thing I had to do was ask about his sister because I didn't want
to be one of those, you got two kids, but I'm only talking about one of them people.
I mean, obviously it's easy to, we just got done with the concert, you know, but I wanted
to see how the sister was doing.
It is weird when the parents of rock stars show up.
I wanted to see how the sister was doing.
It is weird when the parents of rock stars show up. I was in a dressing room with – shit.
This is so awesome.
My age and brain can't remember names.
Karashuka girl.
Karashuka.
She's a lead singer.
Karashuka.
Karashuka.
What is it called?
I don't even know what a Karashuka is.
She's a lead singer for the Ska band.
Oh.
Oh.
Gwen Stefani?
Gwen Stefani.
And her dad's in there.
She's a what girl?
Help me with this, Chris.
She does those Japanese style.
Yeah.
She gets the Japanese chicks in the back.
Yeah.
And they're Harashukas.
They're Harashukas.
Well, no.
She had a song called Harashuka Girl, right?
I wouldn't know that.
I wouldn't know that.
I do know No Doubt, though.
No Doubt.
There we go.
All right.
Scott would be a little easier.
Anyway, here's the dad in the dressing room after she's just rocked out.
Oh, right, right.
And I'm staring at him, and he's a jovial guy.
Yeah.
Really super nice guy.
Yeah, I've met him before.
Yeah, and it's so weird.
You're talking to Dave Grohl's mom in his dressing room.
It's a weird concept. Yeah. Yeah, we talked's like so weird. You're talking to Dave Grohl's mom in his dressing room. It's a weird concept.
Yeah, we talked for a while.
Well, the reason we – she came up to me because I lived across the street from her daughter.
Pardon me.
I had a home.
Just North Hollywood home?
Yeah,-esque.
What the hell was with that street?
You had Be Real on that street too,
right? I think I did.
Yeah, it's more
not in North Hollywood technically,
but I'll give them their privacy, Drew.
No, never
stop with that. You're not there anymore.
You're not there anymore. No, but
I think she may be there.
I'm just trying to respect that
a little bit. But in the Valley.
Lived across the street.
Didn't live across the street.
Had a party house across the street.
But the mom was well aware of that.
Dave used to stay there when he came to L.A. to do shows.
Oh, I didn't know that.
That's nice.
Oh, stay with his sister.
I thought you meant stay with you.
No, what happened, that was a famous story where famous and at least our, you know,
love line annals, which was I saw Dave at the K-Rock Acoustic Christmas.
Dave at the K-Rock Acoustic Christmas.
And I, again, if memory serves, we had some sort of conversation, you know, like, where are you living?
And I don't know.
He was living in Seattle or something at the time.
This is, you know, 15 years ago or something.
He was living somewhere.
I said, well, when you come out to L.A., where do you stay?
And he said, I stay at my sister's place. She's out here. And then I said, oh, where's your out to L.A., where do you stay? And he said, I stay at my sister's place.
She's out here.
And then I said, oh, where's your sister? She's out in the valley.
And, of course, I was sort of like, oh, well, where?
Turns out, or somehow, I don't know.
I don't know if he put a note on my mailbox or we were talking about,
but somehow gleaned that the sister lived across the street.
Yeah, crazy. gleaned that the sister lived across the street yeah crazy and i then the saturday or something
after the concert um i went over to the party house to work work in the garage or shoot some
hoop or do something and i remember waiting until about noon or one o'clock and i thought
well i'll just go across the street and knock on the door, see if he's there.
We want to shoot some hoop or something.
And I went over there, and I knocked on the door.
It was afternoon, but, you know, it is rock and roll after all.
And this fairly disheveled blonde chick answered the door like clearly she'd just been
uh awakened and maybe he didn't hear the door maybe she did or something and she just came down
and uh assumed she was a groupie made sense i felt like rock and roll to me plus she was you
know she was a a cute blonde whose hair was all messed up.
It looked like they'd done some Jaeger shots.
Then I got on Loveline.
I said, yeah, I knocked on the door.
Then one of his floozies answered the door.
Well, it turned out to be his wife, Jordan, I think, or later on turned out to be his wife.
I can't remember who it was.
He took a little umbrage.
She's also very nice, by the way.
She's very nice.
Yeah.
So it was, again, it just seemed like rock and roll to me.
So I have a couple things I want to talk about.
One less, one I think, I don't know.
But let me just finish by saying the music's all there.
There's plenty of bands where the music's there.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
The Foo Fighters are a good band musically, but there are plenty of good bands musically.
He has a work ethic.
He's putting on a show, and he's not going to...
To be fair, Pat and Taylor come right along.
You know what I'm saying?
He doesn't have to drag them along.
They're quite there.
Well, yes and no.
What I want to say is Taylor's working his ass off singing behind the drum kit.
Pat's doing his thing.
Everyone in the band is doing their thing.
Here's the deal.
You ain't going to last if you –
What about Dave, you mean?
No, no.
You ain't going to last if you ain't coming along.
Oh, right.
He won't keep doing that.
If you go backstage, if you have a situation where you've sold out a soccer stadium in Rio de Janeiro,
and at soundcheck you're telling David Boss, I'm not feeling it today.
I think I got a little something.
I don't know.
Maybe it's the bug.
I think it's the travel.
I'm going to sit this one out.
You're going to be out for good.
You don't tell a guy like that, got a little tickle my throat although he
is very supportive of his band members when they get in trouble that no he will see it through
thank you but what i'm saying is is i'm just saying if you're gonna go it's not draconian
is all i'm saying yeah no no but i'm saying it's it's a it's a little bit of i got a little bit of
that into in in me as well. You're more draconian.
That's what I want to talk to you about.
No, I'm the wrong guy to say,
hey, I'm not quite feeling myself today.
I think I'm just going to stay on the sofa because that doesn't mean anything to me.
I don't care if you're 40%.
Come in, you'll get through it.
He's out there with a boot,
a walking boot on his fucking foot,
sitting on a throne playing the guitar and
rocking as hard as he can so he's the wrong guy to tell you're just not feeling it today
welcome back and thanks for tuning in to the adam and dr drew show classics
up next we go to episode 458 where comedian George Perez stops by
and he had these guys rolling.
And you will too.
Take a listen.
Yeah, we're back.
Well, we had two beings enter the studio.
George Perez as well as my dog, Philly cheesesteak here in studio breathe you're breathing
on the mic george is a stand-up comedian he's got live dates phil yeah live dates all over the
place he's going out with uh loxi and the vagabonds they're doing some uh live shows and uh
jack's patio bar in san antonio so they're going to start November 30th in San Antonio.
Then they're going to Houston.
Then they're going to Dallas.
Then they're going to Austin.
Then they're going to San Diego.
You speak a little Spanish?
No.
All right.
Well, good luck to you then.
Good luck ordering food.
You go to CorollaDrinks.com and you can follow the tour along.
Good to meet you, George. Good to meet you, George.
Good to meet you, too.
So tell us about your journey into stand-up hood.
Oh, wow.
It's from the hood, stand-up hood.
Where'd you grow up?
I grew up in Orange County, Orange, Santa Ana, a little bit of Anaheim, and did construction
first out of high school.
Nice.
And went to a poetry reading.
And there was comics there.
So went up, did my thing.
Just out of the blue?
Well, like, I was with this girl that always told me, you're funny.
And every time you invite me over, you put on, like, stand-up to have sex with me.
That was my thing.
I would play, like, Richard Pryorryor or like some old Carlin for her.
And she would be like, dude, do you know you love this?
I was like, no, I'm just trying to have sex.
That was Adam's thing too.
Except you masturbate.
Yeah, I'd put on some Carlin.
I'd beat off.
But I knew I loved it.
It is a thing where I don't know how you grew up.
But I imagine if you're working construction, not very good.
And it's the job of the parent and the community to kind of tell people, hey, this is what you like, even if you don't know it, because that's what you're doing.
But I'm guessing no one told you that too early or too often.
No.
I mean, I had five brothers.
We're all a year apart.
Right. And second youngest.
I think I was just funny as a little kid to get attention.
And then it just went from there.
My mom's funny.
Did you know that this was a way to make a living?
No.
No, I didn't even know that you could go do open mics.
I didn't know none of that.
So now somebody, uh, Phil's on top of me now.
Nice saying hi to Drew.
All right, Phil.
Oh, he's licking.
The tongue is like a punch.
No, it is.
And it's too long.
It's too long for him.
It's hanging out of the side of his mouth.
Let's hear it.
What do you got, Phil?
He just licked the microphone.
Phil's getting bored because he's been with me since early this morning.
Now, I heard that you got in trouble.
You spent some time in prison.
Tell us about how that worked out.
That was the weird part.
So, yeah.
All right, Phil, sit down.
I'm trying to hear about a heart-wrenching.
What do you want, Phil?
You know what he did to me this morning?
He laid on my head at 6.30 in the morning.
He just laid on my head.
His body or his head on your head?
No, he takes his body.
He does this about three times a month.
He goes from laying next to me on the bed.
Don't bite me.
Three times a month from laying next to me on the bed to laying on my head.
Once he lays on my head.
Once he lays on my head, I have to get up and go like, okay, you want to go out?
And then I get up and I just open the door and then he just sits on the back deck and just looks at me.
He doesn't even want to go anywhere.
Would you at least go to the bathroom?
Go to the bathroom, Phil.
He wants to be closer to you.
Olga, my nanny's favorite game, is to yell, attack, Phil, attack.
All right, sit down.
All right, we're trying to talk to George Perez here.
George, what happened that got you into prison?
Sorry.
Okay, so I stopped doing construction.
I become a comic.
I get on that show MTV, Your Mama.
Mm-hmm.
And Yo Mama.
Yeah, Yo Mama.
Right. So before I was a comic, I get into this very bad fight with this guy.
And luckily, I leave because I don't stay.
So I win this fight and I leave.
And three years later, I'm on TV.
And he's like, that's the guy that beat me up.
Really?
Yeah.
As a comedian.
Yeah, but he didn't know who I was.
Right.
Two weeks later, I get arrested.
I'm DJing at a strip club, and they, like, SWAT team comes in,
kicks the door down, and they take me to jail.
For assault?
For assault, yes.
And this guy, first off, you should be embarrassed if a comedian
kicks your ass.
I was a gangster back then, though.
No, but still, you shouldn't admit to anyone, hey, that stand-up beat my ass.
That's funny.
Keep that close to the vest.
So you beat that.
Now, you must have beat this guy up good.
Well, I don't think it was good.
I just think it was like, I didn't hit him that much.
I just connected perfect.
Uh-huh.
And he, I mean, well, I was going to say we've all been in street fights, but Drew hasn't been in street fights.
But I've been in street fights.
It was like whatever happens, happens, and then you move on.
Yeah, it wasn't even a street fight.
Like, he was picking on me.
We were playing basketball at the park, and, like, he started elbowing me.
So I was kind of like, hey, man, relax.
And he swung.
Well, how bad was your representation? swung well how bad was your representation
i mean you're how bad was your attorney three years later how did you get the evidence together
it wasn't there was evidence it was just i'm an ex-gang member they looked at me and they were
just like yeah he did it he did it i didn't even testify so it was basically was it a probation
thing no i did three years in prison.
Yeah, but what I'm saying is, were you on probation?
No, I wasn't on no probation.
It was just the area that I was in had gang terms.
And gang terms is if any violent crime happens, they give you an enhancement.
Oh, so in a way, it's like probation.
Yeah. It's basically like saying, look. This area's but so in a way it's like probation. Yeah.
It's basically saying this area is on probation.
This whole area is on probation.
You walk in here, you're on probation.
Wow.
So you end up doing three years in prison.
Yes.
For punching a guy in a pickup basketball game on a court that was elbowing you when he saw you on Yo Mama three years later on MTV.
Yeah, and it was actually four and a half years later because I fought it.
You know, I was trying to stretch it out.
Maybe he won't show up to court.
And no, we went to the box.
I had a jury and I got convicted.
Wow.
And this is in Los Angeles?
This is in Orange County.
Orange County.
Yeah, in Irvine.
It was Irvine Court.
I was mad because Santa Ana Court, I had a chance.
Irvine Court, I knew I was done.
So there's just a bunch of white people going, this guy has gang affiliations.
His last name's Perez.
It was maybe four white people.
It was weird.
It was Asians, Mexicans, and a couple whites.
Asians are really honorary whites once they get into the jurors box.
We've kissed them in.
They're in the club.
But, well, it's actually funny because I think that Mark Derrigus has told me, I think, that black jurors are real tough on crime oftentimes because they've seen it in their neighborhoods. You'd be better off getting sort of the hippy-dippy white chick from Venice or Santa Monica
who's going, oh, this guy's got his future ahead of him,
than the tough inner-city black guy who's seen it firsthand.
Interesting.
But prison.
Yeah, prison.
Straight prison.
Well, I was at the county for six months because you got to get sentencing.
Right.
And then they sentenced me to prison and i ended up at wasco
that's the reception yard wasco state prison in bakersfield and it was weird because i just i
filmed showtime while i'm going to court so i'm sitting down and they have like a it'll be like
a cubicle like this but it's probably about 100 times bigger. Sales on top, sales on bottom, and there's a TV in the day room,
and it shows,
Paisa Comedy Slam.
And I was like, what?
This thing got picked up?
So they're showing you doing stand-up.
No, they were showing,
they were touring in Bakersfield.
Oh, oh, oh, I'm sorry.
I think me and Jimmy went down to that prison once.
I think we did a man show bit out of that.
I'm pretty sure it was in Bakersfield.
There can't be that many prisons around there.
There actually is a lot around there.
Well, it's a good time to write, though, right?
I mean, you could.
You're kind of like trying to adjust because when you go to prison, they don't be like, hey, here's the rules.
Follow on.
You have to adjust, watch watch and find food clean everything so
i wasn't writing and i was i was on the general population i was where it rock and rolls like i
seen some things and it goes down yeah it's uh and did they have so this prison that jimmy and i went to they had a a group for uh frequent flyers or something
that was the prison i was at it was it was a group of people it's like white black hispanic whatever
non-troublemakers like you can go hang out in this group but you can't cause trouble if you do cause
trouble you get thrown back in with the troublemakers where you're going to get stabbed
that was let me tell you the truth of that.
The PC yard is a protective custody yard.
It's a special needs yard.
It's a yard for snitches, rapists, pedophiles,
and people that don't want to be part of where I'm at,
where there's rules and they don't have a program.
They don't get to work.
They don't get to get many visits.
Where I was at is general population. Right. Where it's like, yeah, you're going to get many visits. Where I was at is general population.
Right.
Where it's like, yeah, you're going to get stabbed, but if you act good, you're fine.
You're fine.
And you can get whatever the perks are.
Yes, exactly.
Did you learn a trade?
Did you get a GED?
Did you do a bunch of stuff like that?
I graduated from high school, so I already had a GED.
I took business for two months and it was i wasn't
learning nothing the teacher would just go in there and be like play right i became a butcher
i uh i was a butcher in prison really yeah it was awesome do you do you get decent cuts of meat in
the joint like are they feeding the guards are you just cutting up salisbury steak every night
like what do you what are you making over there? It's hooked up.
Like for breakfast, after breakfast they give you a sack lunch.
So I was in charge of cutting everyone's meat and make sure it was a proper slice.
I had to prepare for four yards.
And then you get the perks, all the meats in there.
We get roast beef, chicken.
And I'm just in there cooking it up because we had a hot pot.
So I would eat. You couldn't take it back to your cell but you could eat there yeah it's like when i used to work at mcdonald's and they tell me to throw away the filet of fish oh not you no that
was the craziest thing ever it's like hey corolla yeah there's filet of fish yeah they've been in a
warming tray for over 90 minutes yeah yeah? We gotta throw them out.
All 11 of them? Yeah, they gotta go in the dumpster.
Okay, I'll
do it. I'll do it. Yeah, okay,
go throw them out and come back.
I'm grabbing them all and I'm standing by the dumpster
trying to eat as
many as I possibly can.
We'll be right back with more of the
Adam and Dr. Drew Show classics.
We are back with the final clip of this episode, so let's get right in.
We check out episode 341 titled The Anthem, which aired on May 15, 2016.
Adam coaches Dr. Drew on singing the national anthem at Dodger Stadium.
And they take calls on birth control.
Yeah, it's pretty interesting.
Check it out.
Now, as you listen to this, it is a Sunday afternoon.
Dr. Drew is singing the national anthem at Dodger Stadium.
Maybe I should wear the Get It On t-shirt.
Oh, that'd be sweet.
Is it blue?
They have a Dodger blue shirt?
What time?
Are they playing St. Louis?
Yeah.
What time is the game?
Five.
Obviously, you must be there before the game to sing the national anthem.
3.30.
So we are doing our stuff earlier today rather than later to accommodate the singing of the national anthem.
So, a couple thoughts and things. Good idea. I'm curious'm curious you think it's good that i'm doing that or no singing the national anthem
i do i i think that you said before it was good that just to stress yourself to test yourself
and stuff but now i'm doing it again am i I getting carried away? No. I believe.
Well, first off, I rarely say this, but that's a personal decision because I don't know how it affects you or affects your relationships.
You know, I don't know if you're locked in your room screaming at your kids, go away.
Daddy's practicing his scales.
You know what I mean?
I mean, obviously, if it turned into a basket case the week going into it, I would say give your wife a break.
No, no.
In fact, quite the contrary.
Last time I was a little freaked out and I was rolling it through my head over and over and over and over again.
This time I feel like I'm a little too casual about it.
Yeah, that can happen. But Drew is about to go sing in front of 40,000 people in pivotal game 41 of the 162 season.
Somebody tweeted me, they're playing St. Louis.
I swear to God, they're both 18 and 19 or 19 and 18.
You got to figure out who.
Gary will figure it out.
But like, who's going to go 20 and 19?
Oh, boy.
I'm going to hold my breath um the oh the dodgers are on a dodger on a roll they're 20 and 17 but they're playing st louis and that's who i that's
right somebody tweeted me they must have won yesterday i had to drive through that god
forsaken dodger stadium yesterday trying to get to the Endless Rant event
and all that goes on.
Anyway, when you're singing
the national anthem at Dodger Stadium,
do you think you could just sort of
work in what a piece of shit the Dodger
dog is?
Like Subliminal Man?
Oh, say, Dodger dog, you piece of shit.
Yes. By the way, thegers, you piece of shit. Yes.
By the way, the Cardinals are 19 and 18.
It's exactly the same, almost.
I'm kind of rooting for the Dodgers now so the Cardinals can be 19 and 19 after this game.
But don't worry, over 100 games to go in the world's most boring sport.
What are you talking about?
It's three minutes of action packed into four hours.
You're going to get out there.
You're going to sing the national anthem
in front of a lot of people.
You and I have been out there a bunch
of times on those celebrity games.
There's a lot of coming into the
stadium around that time. You know what I mean?
People are not in their seats waiting for the first pitch
off in Dodge Stadium.
Well, the L.A. crowd is horrible.
Yeah.
And they do tend to leave early.
And they tend to drag in.
And they do drag in.
But I would say by the first pitch, 91% of the people are seated.
So if there's not 40,000, there's going to be 30,000.
I was convincing myself there'd be 12,000.
37,000 people.
By the way, is there a difference between 12,000 and 30,000, honestly?
Only in my head because I did what's staples, 15,000?
I feel like I've done that.
For the Kings game.
Yeah, yeah.
Look, it's you and the microphone, number one.
Number two, this is what you want to do in life.
You want to take on this one so that the next one is an easier prospect.
Yes, coach.
Yes, coach.
Tell me more, coach.
Very positive.
Very good.
Obviously, the way you feel when you walk out of there is amazing.
Even if I fuck up?
If you fuck up, you have two choices.
You have two choices.
I'm going to see Chris McSpaddus' face going, ugh.
You have two choices.
I'm going to see Chris McSpaddus' face going, ugh.
You can go out there and hit a home run, pardon the pun, and walk out of there feeling like you're on top of the world.
Or you can go out there and screw the pooch, in which case you have the most incredible learning experience you've had in the last 25 years.
Then I would want to go back and do it again, try to get it right.
Right, which is you, which is other people say never again.
I think if you screwed the pooch this afternoon, you would think, I got to get out there and make this right.
100%. Right.
100%.
But you'd have to start out with like a AAA ballpark.
Like they'd send you down.
High school.
You used to go to high school, then you go AAA and you work your way back up to the show.
Yeah.
All right. So exciting. up to the show. Yeah. All right.
So exciting.
And listen, Drew, this is a very good thing.
Here's what flips your cookie.
It flips your cookie.
Here are the two things you're looking for in the cookie-flipping department.
Moi or one?
One.
One.
One or one?
One.
One.
One should be looking for, I enjoy this, sailing, motor racing, or singing, or dance, or whatever it is.
I enjoy this.
I enjoy participating in this with an element of potential downside.
Yeah, yeah.
There's a risk to it.
There's an element that this may not go as planned. And then there's degrees. It's not black and white. I could do a C minus. There's a
B plus. There's an A version of this. There's a failure. Probably not going to hit the fail
department. Probably not going to hit the 100 on the sats department i'm looking for
that a minus yeah yeah thing maybe i can get it to an a i'll feel pretty good about it strangely
that's my that b plus a minus is my zone in life yeah always been my zone i i i concur all right
but hang on a second uh oh god damn i lost my train of thought. I was going to ask him. Oh, I was going to say that what's the irony is, you know, I trained to sing for many, many years just for fun.
For four minutes, I thought about it very seriously, and I just kind of kept doing it.
Now it's kind of fun to have opportunities.
I sang with Seth MacFarlane at the old Pacific, the Universal Amphitheater with the orchestra.
And that was sort of a dream come true for me.
Yeah.
And now this kind of thing is sort of interesting.
But the irony is, fuck, as you get older, your chords just are not the same.
Really?
And so literally, if there's more opportunity that comes out of this, I probably won't be able to do it physically.
I'd have to go.
Well, look, I don't want to throw a wrench in your cords, but what about your Tony Bennett's and guys like that?
They're singing in a certain zone.
They stay in that zone.
Oh, I see.
You know what I mean?
If I have to do something...
Like, Max Patton and I are going to put a Christmas album together.
Oh, you are?
Yeah, we are.
Wow.
Yeah.
My son's going to write a lot of music, which is going to be fun.
Wow.
Yeah.
And it'll be a Corolla Enterprise.
Wow.
For sure.
Do you know about this?
No, hence all the wows.
Do you know that Chris and I put out three LPs already?
Not with me, but with sort of theme music, background music.
Do you know who it is?
I don't know anything.
Hey, guys, can we give him a taste of the Dr. Drew podcast LPs at some point?
Because we have some very cool stuff on there.
Anyway, so this is a follow-on to that.
We're going to write a Christmas album.
Oh, good.
Just for fun.
All right.
All right, let me just hop to the top.
Joe.
Oh, sorry.
My man Joe's on too.
Joe.
Minneapolis, 26.
What's going on?
Oh, nothing much.
How are you guys?
Good.
That's good.
I'm a longtime fan, first-time caller.
Basically, my question is for Dr. Drew.
My girlfriend is on birth control, and she is also on antibiotics right now for, like, a cold.
And she is, like, three days late on her period.
Did you guys use another method of contraceptive while she was on these antibiotics?
I'm going to go with no.
No, we didn't.
What antibiotic?
What antibiotic it was.
So antibiotics cancel out the birth control?
They can.
Tetracyclings classically do it.
We don't know.
I don't know.
I can't.
But any of them, you'll generally see a warning on the pill saying, you know, if you're on
another medication, antibiotic, talk to your doctor.
Use a second means of birth control for at least a month.
Oy vey.
All right.
This doesn't sound good.
It sounds worrisome.
It also, listen, it also could be the antibiotic affecting the way the pill's working and screwing
with your menstrual period, too.
But, Joe, you're going to have to take a, you're going to have to take a test, right?
Right, right.
I was just wondering if it's any.
It's about three days late from when she usually gets it,
so I'm wondering if it's something to worry about now or in like a week, maybe.
When did she start the antibiotics?
Two weeks ago, I would say.
Right ovulation time.
Perfect.
Direct hit, Dr. Smith, whoever prescribed this and didn't tell the young lady about it.
Yeah, from Lost in Space.
Perfect.
Yeah.
The boy.
Where's the boy?
I know the reference.
I think the listeners do.
No.
All right.
So, Joe, check out TV Land.
Get Ted.
Here's the deal.
It's right on time.
I would take it now. Because here's why it's an an issue because the antibiotics need to stop if she's pregnant.
Okay?
Drew.
Yeah.
Everyone talks about late-term abortions.
Yeah.
What's the earliest one can get an abortion?
If one finds out one's pregnant, absolutely doesn't want a child.
I think you could –
They're four days in.
I think you can do the chemical abortion right away.
That pill, yeah.
The combination pill.
Yeah.
Are you 486?
Yeah, are you 486 essentially?
Okay, so it's not the combination pills.
Well, they do different things.
Yeah, but there is a version that involves taking a pill.
Yes.
And you can do it immediately.
I would think so.
I don't, I don't, I've never administered it, but I don't see any reason why you wouldn't.
All right.
Let's talk to John, 46, Raleigh.
Hey, hang on a second.
Yeah, Dr. Drew Adam.
Yes.
Hey, John, one second.
I was just thinking you may have to wait for implantation.
I was trying to think.
Yeah. You have to wait for implantation. I was trying to think. You have to wait for implantation.
Because it's not really discussed the earliest you can do it.
Yeah, you have to wait for implantation, but two weeks he should be there.
Okay.
All right.
That's all for this week.
