The Adam and Dr. Drew Show - The 70's Sucked, Are We Still Woke and YouTube Rabbit Holes (The Adam and Dr. Drew Show Classics)

Episode Date: August 17, 2024

On this week's "Classics" episode, we revisit Adam and Dr. Drew's dislike for the 70's, getting frustrated with the "WOKE" culture and idle time going down rabbit holes on YouTube!

Hey, hey, welcome back for another edition of the Adam and Dr. Drew Show Classics. I am your host, Big Brother Jake aka Jake Warner. My love of a name. Let's get started. First up is episode 1670 that aired on January 20th, 2023. Adam and Dr. Drew come to the conclusion about one thing they think the 70s sucked Let's take a listen Being adult and also 70s sucked 70s suck, but you didn't have to the thing about the 70s is

You didn't as an adult feel responsible for everything that was happening all the time as an adult feel responsible for everything that was happening all the time. Clarify that a little bit. What do you mean? You just go like if you were standing in a group of kids indoors, you'd light a cigarette. I want to smoke, you know what I mean? And if one of the kids said like, oh, I got asthma or something, which I wouldn't have had because no one had it, but they'd say, yeah, so go outside. You know what I mean? Like I'm doing this here now. You know, hey, kid, go to the fridge, get me a beer.

I'm going to light a cigarette. I'm going to sit in the living room and smoke. You might come in and want to watch something else that I don't want to watch on TV. You get zero votes. You get zero votes. Or you might not like the cigarette smoke that's in the living room. Then go stand on the porch. That was it. There was a hierarchy. I got to do what I want. In terms of like, you know, what's going on with the indigenous people or saving the planet or whatever? There were smatterings of that

But I'm just gonna get my El Camino fire it up and go put my leaded fuel in and drive down the street with My cigarette like I'm not but I'm not gonna fix this. Yeah, I got it. I have no power over this I go to go to work come home, But things are better now in terms of, obviously we have the phone and all that that affords us. But also people go out more. They kind of do more. There's the flip side of not having gone to a steakhouse between 0 and 45 is that people are kind of more engaged

a little bit out in the world, I think. Yeah, I would say. But I think there's a problem and I think the problem is is you always hear it like whenever I think about Alyssa Milano and she explains that she crawls into bed with her five-year-old daughter and weeps openly for her future and stuff like that. That helps a kid. Super therapeutic. But look, I'm assuming she's lying, so you know, kids probably fine, but what I'm what I'm saying is is I cannot tell you how many people say like, I'm an

influencer and what I want to do is change the world for the good. And of course it's nonsense and of course they it's nonsense. And of course, they're narcissists douchebags But that's also a lot of responsibility I want to change the world for the better. You know what I mean? That's that's pretty heavy burden Randy's bird. Well, it's a pretty grandiose heavy burden Yeah, my dad didn't want to make things better for his own family forget about the world for himself He didn't want to make things better for his own family. Forget about the world for himself. He didn't want to do anything for himself. He wasn't going to do anything better for me or his daughter or anybody. He was going to do what he wanted to do when he wanted to do it. And there 70s was kind of a lot of like I'm doing what I want to do and I'm not saving the

world and I'm not you know, hey kid go out and entertain yourself Come back when the streetlights come on Am I right that there was a lot more stratification then too, you know We were talking the other day about how things are not so stratified. You know, I mean everyone's kind of the same It's somebody some of the bigger houses some people don't but it's not so stratified as it was and I don't mean racially Stratified and I'm not even sure I mean money it's almost culturally stratified like people didn't interact across like I wouldn't I can't imagine my parents interacting with raised parents. Right.

I just wouldn't. Well, look, look no further than the automobile. If somebody drove a Mercedes Benz, it was a big deal As a successful person not disdainful though. You weren't disdaining them for it. No, you're envious and not envious jealous You well, I'm sorry. I didn't mean it negatively you wish you had a Mercedes and you wish you worked hard and You know were successful as that person but for stratification yeah you drove a Mercedes you were a rich guy yeah there's anybody can drive a

Mercedes now doesn't make you rich you could be rich and drive Mercedes but doesn't make you right success right that's what it was back then it made you you know if you sat it not because no one else it just couldn't always can afford it if you were sitting at Chad knees the windowless steakhouse across From where Johnny Carson would do the Tonight Show and he was sitting there after a show Enjoying a porterhouse and a couple of martinis if you were in that restaurant you were successful. Yeah Yeah, you were successful yeah yeah you were successful yeah there's no I've noticed I'll notice now like going to you know an

expensive steakhouse in Malibu and stuff and I will look around and go that person doesn't have money and neither does that person there but they're live my drinks and live in lark you, that's a good thing I maybe I worry people get stuck wasting and not saving and stuff. I worry about that. Good Yeah, I guess good but it was strata stratified. There's nobody who was eating at Chad knees Chasen's trying to think what was across the chase. I think it was to suck Chattney's some weird little play No one who was eating at that steakhouse with Johnny Carson everyone in that room had money. Yeah, that's how it worked Hmm, and it does not Work that way anymore. And I guess I think that's a good thing if you provide people also

It's it's a good thing like being able to drive a Mercedes Yeah, and making forty two thousand dollars a year is a good thing, I guess. But on the other hand, I worry that it satiates a little too much. Our whole plan was to get successful so we could have a Mercedes and eat at Chadney's. Chadney's? Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's with, no, it's definitely not Jason's. With Johnny Carson. Chadney's. From what? Like from 19? Put a picture up, sure it's with, no, it's definitely not Chasen's. With Johnny Carson. Chadneys. From what? Like from 19... Put a picture up, you'll see it.

I know what it is. I'm saying like from 1951 to 1992 or something. There are lots of weird old steak houses around Los Angeles. Some of them still exist. All right. Well, take a quick break. Get you caught up on Chadneys. Chadneys. Right after this. still exist. All right, well take a quick break get you caught up on Chadney's.

Chadney's right after this. All right Chadney's Steakhouse used to have live jazz open in 1973. Cross the street from NBC Studios. That's right. Hopper Warner Brothers and Disney and Celebrities Johnny Carson Bob Hope Miltonboro They were there it roof caved in in 98 it's something else now I think but it's It's it's it's not that anymore. But yeah, if you If you went in there You had money.

At least my parents convinced me that maybe it's some vestige that's stuck in my head, but I mean. Based on the address, it's a brewery now. Oh, it's a brewery now. That's right, that's right, I've been there. Yeah, the point is, is you weren't going into a place like that. You weren't even talking about it. No, this is not like I'm gonna go, Hey, dad, um, can we head down to Chandy's for Porter house like this weekend? Okay. She's like, think about Lawry's people

go over the holidays. That's it. Laurie's steakhouse. Laurie's's sorry primary, which is awesome Yeah, I went there for my high school graduation, yeah, that's where you would go for a graduation There's no way you'd go there just sort of mid-year for nothing a week day. I didn't know the place were I So yeah, they're the Mercedes Benz were parked in the parking lot of the chadneys and then there was us Yeah, but those guys had money um It's not that way anymore. No but I i'm half with you in that good that uh a young me

Could go enjoy the steak me could go enjoy the steak. Bad in that there's no, my parents would have no business spending that money. I would have rather had the tennis racket I asked for. That's not good. Spending money trivially is not good. But by the same token, everyone sharing things together is good, but it also leaves out that hungry part. You know, one day want to do that. You know, that it leaves less to aspire to. Right? Oh, yeah.

Listen, if you have a smartphone and a 65 inch plasma TV and all the streaming services in it and you know, you got, you can take Uber if you drink a little too much at the pub. We're all in the same boat. Yeah. There's not a big chasm. No means like a literally what I have on Most the people who I make a lot more money than ceiling height got a higher ceiling a TV doesn't change the transportation doesn't really change vacations and

Experiences and steak houses. It's it's really ceiling height. I got more ceiling height. Okay, that's about it. Congratulations It's awesome. Yeah. Yeah. Oh and And I'm more much more burdened many more people wanting me to do many more things and then Yes, not not taking care of this and I should be taking care of that, you know, so slightly demonized So there's that which which we didn't have in the 70s. No one Want to know why Johnny Carson, you know, is he paying his taxes and why does he need a home in the Malibu colonies? Why can't he live in Toluca Lake in a small condo? Look, it was successful. Did what he wanted with his money.

You're so not wrong. I remember going over to your house about six years ago for the Oscars and looking at your TV and going, holy shit, look at how big that thing is. And I installed one about six months ago. But you'll never install that ceiling height, bro. No, I won't. You cannot do that. Welcome back to the Adam and Dr. Drew Show Classics. Up next we have episode 1697 that aired on March 23rd, 2023 titled Your Racism is Showing. The fellas talk about how out

of hand the woke culture is and it's just getting on their nerves Take a listen check it out All right, we have the diversity Dean screaming at the judge Who wanted to speak at the law school? He was invited to speak at the law school And this is in front of the law students at Stanford That's awesome stuff, right?

And what were they angry about that he he Convicted a rapist I guess this is how I understand it and the rapist after being sent to prison Attorney came back and said you have to read sent to prison, attorney came back and said you have to re-something the case because now Eric is Kathy or something of that nature and he was just no. Now I don't know if the no was to prevent a rapist from ending up in a women's prison or if the no had some legal specific legal foundation to it. I don't know because I never get to hear that what the guy said George Gascogne Gascogne just suspended one of his lieutenants who said this guy with the beard who raped the eight-year-old in

the bathroom and the Denny's and who's also I think wanted for murder charges now who's caught on the prison phone talking to his dad about gaming the system about just call me she and I'll get in with the women's and whatever. Again, caught on the phone saying that he was going to game the system by claiming it was a she. Yeah, ostensibly and doing that. It's clear it's not undergoing anything The guy was fired

The DA or the you know, junior whatever attorney was fired by George because he didn't recognize him as a woman because he said he's gaming you guys I Maybe the is it would it be okay to say she's gaming you guys I don't give a fuck that we know because they can't stop drew they can't stop It's done. This guy is fucking with everyone because he wants to go to a woman's prison I know but and he's a horrible individual. No When that person undergoes this thing Then they shall be referred to as this thing. As long as you got a beard and biceps, you are who you are.

For the notice, by the way, for the system, hell where we're going she Formerly named James down named Jane She needs to go to the mail facility in Lumpok Now it's like why are you sending a woman into the mail? Vista you understand it just fucks everything up you get you transition. You shall be called whatever you want how How do you define? I don't need to be an asshole, but how do you find it? Well, yeah, I think we want to hear a lot living as a she then I'll call you a she okay But if you got your junk you don't go in you don't get to go in the locker room at the Wii spot

Not that many people have that surgery. Well, then you don get that locker room. Or there needs to be an accommodation for it. That's what I'm saying. I told you, the vest. What? The vest? Came up with the transition vest. It's a long story. Anyway. Strange you never brought that up with me. I am an associate dean and I would love to answer your question. You just asked for an administrator from here. You went to this chamber?

No, Mr. Whitehouse! No, I am not! Can I say something to you? Oh boy. Is there a guy signing up for it? Yeah, I think so. So you've invited me to speak here and I've been heckled non-stop and I'm just asking for an administrator to sign the...

That's an inferiority! Peace out! Peace out! You're racist, Michelle! Peace out! Wait, just a minute. Respect my woman! If you want a moment of respect, you have private which you've wanted, take it.

Like, do you want an echo chamber? What's the issue? Can I help? No, no, no, no, no. Not all that, though. I guess I have prepared for farms, but they're not letting me. And I won't give it to you.

These are law students. Yeah. Stanford. Yes. She's gonna go to space. I have to say something, Dan, because I'm so uncomfortable up here. And I don't say that for sympathy.

I just say I'm deeply, deeply uncomfortable. I'm uncomfortable because this event is tearing at the fabric of this community that I care about and I'm here to support. And I don't know, and I have to ask myself, and I'm not a cynic to ask this, is the juice worth the squeeze? It is an aesthetic.

But for many people in this hospital who work here, who study here, and who live here, your advocacy, your opinions from the bench land as absolute disenfranchisement of their rights and does land. Let me get some. It gets worse. I gotta listen more. And it impacts directly their people, humans, their families, and their communities. And I'm uncomfortable, and it's uncomfortable to say this to you as a person. It's uncomfortable to say that for many people here, your work has caused harm, has caused harm. And I know that must be uncomfortable to hear. I know that must be. Let me please finish.

And I want to give you space to finish your remarks too, Judge Duncan. I'm also uncomfortable because many of the people in the room here I have come to care for. In my role at this university my job is to create a space of belonging for all people in this institution. Except this guy. Not this guy. Well he's white. And the answers are not black or white or right or wrong. This is actually part of the creation of belonging. And it doesn't feel comfortable and it doesn't always feel safe, but there are always places of safety, and there is always an intention from this administration

to make sure you all can be in a place where you feel fully, you can be here, learn, grow into the amazing advocates and lawyers and leaders that you're going to be. I'm also uncomfortable because it is my job to say you are invited into this space. You are absolutely welcome in this space. In this space that people learn and again, learn and really do wholeheartedly.

Drew. She eventually kicks him out. I think. Drew, how many times have I brought up chick circle talk to you? Many times. How many times have I brought up chick circle talk to you? Hmm many times You do understand We have created a position

all over the country in every fortune 500 company and On every campus that is essentially like the old maytag repairman's job. You got nothing to do. But what you do do is talk in a circle and chew up all the time of all the fucking people that are trying to do something. The biggest waste of time I've ever had is in any, anytime you do a pilot for a sitcom or you get a sign a radio contract or something, at some point you'll have to do the diversity and inclusion speech where, you know, Esther Roll will come in wearing some fucking ceremonial garb and waste everyone's fucking time about why it's not okay to think about. It's all circle talk.

It means nothing. It doesn't affect anybody. The people who are racist are now more racist and the vast majority of people are not affected at all. And then you have to come in and have the exact same speech when it comes to women and their rights and the workplace and is it okay to comment on a new blouse that the receptionist is wearing? Is it okay to ask what a female co-worker did this weekend? Where could you ask? First off, this is insane that they're telling adults and then you have

the fucking retard up there and she's going now look Adult male who makes ten times as much as me and it's fifty times smarter than I am and done many things I'll never do it might be okay for you to say to a female co-worker. What did you do this weekend? But if she said I went out on a date, it would be inappropriate for you to say, well, somebody had a good time. Oh, I got a question. Could I say like you got cornhole dry? Would that be acceptable?

You crazy gypsy witch. What the fuck is going on? They would create an entire cottage industry about circle talking. I've told you it's the biggest fucking waste of time ever That's all this chick did It's all Michelle Obama does it's just one big circle talk and when you see the light in others Then you can recognize the light in yourself and the only way that I can recognize the light in yourself and the only way that I can recognize the light in others is to see the light in myself and when I do find that light then I'll get a seat at the table and I'm here to create an environment that is safe where people without voices can be heard and people without eyes can be seen. My job is to create a safe and inclusive, diverse universe so that we can flourish together

and that your community, what the fuck is your community? Drew, who's your community? What I don't, I've checked. I don't have a community. If I were at Stanford Law School, it would be the law school would be where I'm Living there, but here's the deal. This is chick circle talk We've given them all fucking bullhorn and it's a shit show. I am more concerned about where people with that kind of Priority in their thinking have positions are in position

They're gonna be appellate judges in six years and they're going to be fucking your shit up. And believe you me, if there's footage of you walking into the Capitol on January 6th, going to a fucking vending machine, getting Doritos and walking back outside of it, they're going to say you should go in jail for five years. That's the problem with this shit. We'll be right back with more of the Adam and Dr. Drew show classics. Last up for today we have episode 1625 titled That's Not How Nature Works which aired on September 17th 2022. Adam went down the rabbit hole one night while he was on YouTube.

What are you doing on YouTube, Adam? It turned into an epic rant. So here we go. I was sitting on the sofa last night and the TV was acting up. And I found myself unable to access my normal bank of shows. And so I went on to YouTube

and I was just watching whatever stuff they threw up. You know, they do that stuff where it's like ants, the ultimate predator, you know, they show an ant devouring a water moccasin, you know. I mean, multiple ants. And so I was like, huh, I had nothing. I can't watch TMZ. It's not coming up so I'll just drop it on there and I was sitting there and I was

sipping a little scotch and I was watching ants and and and and as the custom and they talk about Ants go after hornets nest ants go after hornets nests and They just crawl up there and they go find the hornets nests and they pull all the hornets out and they kill them and they kill The queen and they kill all the eggs, you know and you go geez, that's pretty straightforward but

Why are they killing the hornets? Yes, and they don't kill the hornets because the hornets pose a threat to them And they don't kill the hornets because the hornets pose a threat to them They kill the hornets because the hornets feed on the same stuff they feed on oh interesting I just want to get rid of the competition interesting so they just go up there and kill them Now you sit around and you go why not share with the hornets you know what I mean, but That's not how nature works. Well not only not how works, if that were advantageous, that's what would happen. Oh, right. Nature is exquisitely accommodating. Yeah, if they needed the hornets,

symbiotically, they would do it. No, there must be quite a problem that way to invest in the loss of life necessary to kill all those hornets. I'm sure they've run the calcs, and they're taking care of business. Now, I then think, why do we have this sort of inbred fear of insects? And there's a couple of thoughts.

One is they're not humanoid, you know, they don't possess eyes and you know, you sort of. They look weird. Yeah, you look at a dog and you go, look at his paws, it's his hands and his eyes. And you see emotion in their face and stuff. And a hand and whatever right we don't like lack of emotion Yeah, no emotion we get a little weirded out, but I my my greater Thought is I'm and it's easy to think about the aesthetic. Mmm, and it's true. That's that factors in but

the real reason I think we really have a fear don't like insects is the sort of all business Process that they carry out yeah, which is ants kill hornets because hornets eat some of the same shit ants eat And so they have to go kill them and they'll kill their babies and they'll kill the Queen they'll just go in there and torch that that nest Yes, because the hive because there's competition and there's a certain fear that you have and this sort of the remorseless The zombies the zombie nests. Yes. It's like here's what we do. Yeah, no hard feelings. I agree. We have to kill you Yeah, it's why? Terrorists scare us more than sort of street crime. It's not even no hard feelings because they don't understand feelings are it's just right business

But there is other stuff there is other stuff, but but it's the it's that We relentless will simply do everything that benefits us 100% of the time without any thought to any other subject and then but there's also the fact that you know we love babies we love them and then we but at a certain point that baby turns into a teenage boy and then we fear them we're scared of them so we have this great love of things that can pose zero danger to us, puppies and babies, we go, oh, they're cute, but it's not just cute, they can't pose anything to us.

The 17-year-old teenage boys in the hoodies, they scare us. Yes, but the other part is how we evolve. There's a lot of evolutionary pressures on this. For instance, we are evolved to react positively to the small features of a baby's face. And women, if you notice, highly feminized women that look like babies, we tend to find them more attractive. That's just what we evolved that way. Same thing with ants. Same things with things we find disgusting or recoil from. Usually they carry disease. And insects carry disease.

Like throughout human history, that's been a major source of problem. Now, I can't really substantiate my theory about the disease, because in many parts of the world, they didn't know it carried disease. Like we didn't know where malaria came from till this last century. Right.

So it's hard for me to fully make that case. But the other thing I would say, in addition to to the zombie likeness that we don't like relentlessness You know we don't like them. It's just coming the zombie comes even when we shoot it You know that freaks us out a bit too. Mm-hmm. All right, someone's been on hold from Florida for a while Dan 49, Florida Guys I was thinking I've been calling you a bunch during this mess the past couple years And I was thinking today how if you really want to boil it down it's that public health has sort of commingled with politics and

Just like they didn't want to tell you the ages of the people who were dying early on and now we're into the hole It's okay to be fat fat you can eat whatever you want there's nothing wrong with it i just think i don't know what it's going to take for public health to be purely about reality you know again rather than political cultural concerns yes one and i just don't think there's any shot. Thousand percent yes. Thousand percent yes. We cannot have Dr. Fauci having no thoughts on Black Lives Matter rallies. We can't do it. And we can't be talking about... Did you see that spot?

Gary will have it somewhere. But see that spot on, you know, not shaming, no shame eating, nothing's bad for you. What? Oh, it's oh, it's it's it's it's miraculous It's incredible. It was I think it was like shared with LA Unified whatever it's all over the internet Gary It's called shared tweet. No notes. No No, it was shared by the LA Unified whatever It's up on the tweets. Gary will find it somewhere. Well, here's what I've learned through talking to lots and lots of people.

But listen, listen to me. Yeah. There is zero room for health and policy to be adulterated by either good vibes or cultural biases or political winds blowing. It is just no, there's no room. There's no room for it. It's just biology. It should be just biology.

If it cannot, we should have a computer who plays chess figuring out all this shit. There should be no talk about I'm a mom. There should be no, but what about the people of this group or if that it just is. If fat is unhealthy and fat is bad, then it is and that's done. Next subject. So here's what I've learned through talking to lots of people that many of the public health officials who now have total control and fiat power have no clinical training, no medical training, oftentimes no biological training, no medical training,

oftentimes no biological training. They're sociologists. And guess what? It turns out, I was talking to a friend who was sort of having connection with the Harvard School of Public Health. Even in places like Harvard, people get masters in public health.

It's all kind of about equity, not about biology. How to use equity to supply medical services. Here's the deal. If 100% of morbidly obese kids were Chinese or black or Hispanic, if it's only 100% lived in one group, it should be addressed the same way as if it was equally parsed out. Look, we almost did it with monkeypox. We almost weren't allowed to say, this is the group that gets what we need to protect them. Gays, right.

Yeah, we were not allowed to say it because they got treated like the same for everybody. That is not medical. That is non-medical. No, what about tinnitus? Should we worry about the young kids getting tinnitus, tinnitus? Should we? Oh my god. Well the answer is no, then it's no. It affects older men, mainly. I don't know if it affects women. Women too. I really only hear about it with guys, which is weird. I hear about it from both. Well now, he's got one more thing to look at. All right, we'll show you this thing's going to make you laugh. Okay.

I got us donuts. Those are so bad for you. Oh, no. Are they moldy? I mean, are they poisoned? Are you allergic? No, I'm just saying. You're judging my food choices based on a false standard of health again, aren't you?

Guilty. Diet culture, fatophobia, and systems of oppression have created false hierarchies of food and it shows up everywhere. For instance, harmful thought patterns like earning food through exercising or that dessert is the reward for the punishment of eating vegetables. Remember that you do not need to earn food. We are all incorrectly taught from a young age that our size and therefore the foods that we eat are markers of our self-worth. Moralizing food can lead to harmful relationships of food and assorted

eating. Instead of focusing on good and bad choices, try to approach food with neutrality in mind. The only foods that are bad for you are foods that contain allergens, poisons and contaminants Or food that is spoiled or is otherwise inedible. Eat without guilt, regardless of what society says. Smarter in seconds. Yeah, fatter? Is this fatter in seconds or smarter? Look, being overweight is really fucking unhealthy.

Do we learn anything from COVID? Even if they don't wanna say that, we have a carbohydrate story that has emerged. And that was a very strong endorsement of eat carbohydrate-rich food as much as you want, and don't even think about it. If anybody tells you otherwise, they're shaming you. What?

It literally means you can't make food recommendations. And you certainly can't make any kind of valence. The only food that's bad for you is spoiled food. Poison. Poison is the only thing you put in your mouth that's bad for you. That's all for this week. Thanks for listening to the Adam and Dr. Drew Show Classics.
