Jeff Dye: California Wildfires Were Caused By “Government Corruption & Negligence” w/ Joel Pollak of Breitbart News – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 445

1039.579

It's changing now. You feel like that? Still kind of the same. Still kind of the same, but you think it's going to start swinging back, right? I mean, do you feel that it will?

Ask Dr. Drew

Jeff Dye: California Wildfires Were Caused By “Government Corruption & Negligence” w/ Joel Pollak of Breitbart News – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 445

1053.525

No, I don't. But the fact that Whitney Cummings feels safe enough to rear her head shows that it's swinging back. It's not like it's brave for her to come out now. She did it like in the 11th hour when everything's swinging back. Similar to... Mark Zuckerberg has now got a new haircut and is hanging out with Dana White.

Ask Dr. Drew

Jeff Dye: California Wildfires Were Caused By “Government Corruption & Negligence” w/ Joel Pollak of Breitbart News – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 445

1074.316

It's almost as if these people are going, oh, things are switching, switch teams here. It's like, which is great, switch teams. I am happy about it. I'm just saying it doesn't feel as... as being brave enough to speak out when it's good to speak out.

Ask Dr. Drew

Jeff Dye: California Wildfires Were Caused By “Government Corruption & Negligence” w/ Joel Pollak of Breitbart News – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 445

1161.367

What the fuck's going on here? In Whitney's defense, I am pro-comic, and I have always been in Whitney's corner, even when I was invisible to her. But Whitney is, you know, she's a climber. She'll do whatever it takes for business, you know? Good for her. I'm not criticizing her. I'm just calling a spade a spade.

Ask Dr. Drew

Jeff Dye: California Wildfires Were Caused By “Government Corruption & Negligence” w/ Joel Pollak of Breitbart News – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 445

1183.543

Same team. But it's just like to then go, oh, there she goes. It's like, all right, there she goes.

Ask Dr. Drew

Jeff Dye: California Wildfires Were Caused By “Government Corruption & Negligence” w/ Joel Pollak of Breitbart News – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 445

1196.751

If that election goes the other way, she doesn't do any of that. That's true. It's that election. It'd be hard for us to speak, honestly. Oh, for sure. That's kind of what we were speaking to earlier. Before we started, we were talking about the things I have in common with Alex Jones is that I'm not afraid to say it if I think it. Now that gets me in trouble.

Ask Dr. Drew

Jeff Dye: California Wildfires Were Caused By “Government Corruption & Negligence” w/ Joel Pollak of Breitbart News – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 445

1216.942

Nothing makes you feel like more of a psychopath than just being three months ahead of the game.

Ask Dr. Drew

Jeff Dye: California Wildfires Were Caused By “Government Corruption & Negligence” w/ Joel Pollak of Breitbart News – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 445

1269.597

Don't know. I can't pinpoint it, but I can smell bullshit better than other people, for sure. Okay. And also, I'm a big Jordan Peterson guy.

Ask Dr. Drew

Jeff Dye: California Wildfires Were Caused By “Government Corruption & Negligence” w/ Joel Pollak of Breitbart News – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 445

1278.943

From way back? From around the same time he got popular. So during the pronoun issue, for lack of a better term, with the C-section 8 bill.

Ask Dr. Drew

Jeff Dye: California Wildfires Were Caused By “Government Corruption & Negligence” w/ Joel Pollak of Breitbart News – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 445

1337.961

I think Jordan Peterson really stuck out to me in the beginning because I needed a dad in a way. And I needed a lot of clarity. I needed someone to teach me to grow up. I think I banked on my whole career, my whole childhood was about like, what's good about growing up and what's good about being serious and what's good about learning? What's even good about being smart?

Ask Dr. Drew

Jeff Dye: California Wildfires Were Caused By “Government Corruption & Negligence” w/ Joel Pollak of Breitbart News – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 445

1357.091

I had an old album called Dumb is Gooder because the premise was every time I learned something, it just disappoints me. And the most smart people I've ever met in my life are all miserable and arguing and so dumb is gooder. And I learned like through Jordan Peterson's work that like you got to grow up. You can't be an old baby. You know, you can't be Peter Pan forever.

Ask Dr. Drew

Jeff Dye: California Wildfires Were Caused By “Government Corruption & Negligence” w/ Joel Pollak of Breitbart News – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 445

1376.244

And by growing up, it's like, or by, you know, quote unquote growing up, I just dove into documentaries and books and reading and all these different things. And the more I learned, the more I go, everyone is such a pussy. Everyone is so afraid to be honest because a lot of good reasons. They've got all these good reasons to not be honest. You want to lose your house? You want to lose your job?

Ask Dr. Drew

Jeff Dye: California Wildfires Were Caused By “Government Corruption & Negligence” w/ Joel Pollak of Breitbart News – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 445

1398.769

I don't think that these people at CNN are as libby as they come off on camera. But is it worth losing the $4 million contract you have to sit on the desk and get makeup put on your face? Is it worth telling your wife and kids, oh, I was honest today? And now daddy doesn't work there anymore. So they have good reasons. But it just made me realize everyone's a pussy.

Ask Dr. Drew

Jeff Dye: California Wildfires Were Caused By “Government Corruption & Negligence” w/ Joel Pollak of Breitbart News – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 445

1420.038

Everyone's playing by some sort of game. They're all playing like what's going to get me paid. And I've got no kids, no girlfriend, and no wife and nothing to lose. And so I was like, I'm just going to be honest from here. And if that gets me in a ton of trouble, then that's just what a real man would do. Amazing.

Ask Dr. Drew

Jeff Dye: California Wildfires Were Caused By “Government Corruption & Negligence” w/ Joel Pollak of Breitbart News – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 445

1450.834

Yes, and I think millennials have an opposite problem. They love an opposite. They've got obsessed with an opposite. So they love when a female punches hard and drives a big truck and does anything that isn't classified as female. They champion her on because it's an opposite. Except for watching too many Transformer movies or something?

Ask Dr. Drew

Jeff Dye: California Wildfires Were Caused By “Government Corruption & Negligence” w/ Joel Pollak of Breitbart News – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 445

1470.131

I think they just love a contradiction. I think they love if it's a big black bodyguard in front of the nightclub, but he's actually a teddy bear. He's actually a sweetheart. Or the serial killer looks like your neighbor. Wow, he didn't even look like a serial killer.

Ask Dr. Drew

Jeff Dye: California Wildfires Were Caused By “Government Corruption & Negligence” w/ Joel Pollak of Breitbart News – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 445

1485.146

Oh, a man who can cry and is in touch with his feelings. That doesn't fit in a box. So we must love it and we must champion it. But we get so lost in these opposites that you forget just what is. And so that is a strange thing young people do, which is weird.

Ask Dr. Drew

Jeff Dye: California Wildfires Were Caused By “Government Corruption & Negligence” w/ Joel Pollak of Breitbart News – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 445

1507.589

And I also think young people have been told, you know, like, it's okay to be different. It's okay to be these things. It's okay. And so then that not became okay. You must be something different.

Ask Dr. Drew

Jeff Dye: California Wildfires Were Caused By “Government Corruption & Negligence” w/ Joel Pollak of Breitbart News – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 445

1578.277

But when I got so deep into it, he has a reading list on his website. So those were the books I'm reading. And I'm going, oh my God, like this is some of the smartest work in the world. Some of the most brilliant literature. It's all there. It's all there for us for free at libraries and on the internet. And what, but you go to like Barnes and Noble, it's like a, you start seeing the conspiracy.

Ask Dr. Drew

Jeff Dye: California Wildfires Were Caused By “Government Corruption & Negligence” w/ Joel Pollak of Breitbart News – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 445

1598.901

You're like, oh, like you would think, that Frida Kahlo freed the slaves or something. Like her book is just everything. People don't even know why it's in there. They just go, but she's a woman. And so they encourage, the bookstores are just full of like, you know, a fat guy with a yarmulkes cookbook and like 12 queer ideas for like, there's not even literature.

Ask Dr. Drew

Jeff Dye: California Wildfires Were Caused By “Government Corruption & Negligence” w/ Joel Pollak of Breitbart News – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 445

1627.3

And so I was just reading all these books and reading all these things, and I basically had a mental breakdown. And then that is like literally kind of what got me here.

Ask Dr. Drew

Jeff Dye: California Wildfires Were Caused By “Government Corruption & Negligence” w/ Joel Pollak of Breitbart News – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 445

1645.81

I was manic and treating it with alcohol and pills. Ah. Yeah. And a lot of mushrooms in between that. Are you sure that shit didn't cause the mania? Probably. I mean, I guarantee you. Yeah, but it was just too... I lost a dog. I lost a woman I loved.

Ask Dr. Drew

Jeff Dye: California Wildfires Were Caused By “Government Corruption & Negligence” w/ Joel Pollak of Breitbart News – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 445

1682.904

Well, I was like, stand-up comedy is how I get heard. You know, it's how I get attention. It's how I get money. And they took all that away. And then they said, and stay in your house. Shit.

Ask Dr. Drew

Jeff Dye: California Wildfires Were Caused By “Government Corruption & Negligence” w/ Joel Pollak of Breitbart News – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 445

1702.417

I literally was stuck in a house with guns and alcohol and they're like, don't worry about your mental health. Just stay locked up and hide yourself. You also don't have a career. You also don't have your girlfriend anymore. You also don't have a dog. And on top of that, straight white males are pieces of trash and there's people parading down your street who might break your windows for it.

Ask Dr. Drew

Jeff Dye: California Wildfires Were Caused By “Government Corruption & Negligence” w/ Joel Pollak of Breitbart News – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 445

1768.004

And we're going to have to break down. They hate these systems. Everyone always talks about these systems. Well, the systems they taught people are going to have to be broke down. These new systems of how they teach things, eventually it's going to have to be broke down. Framework. It's tricky.

Ask Dr. Drew

Jeff Dye: California Wildfires Were Caused By “Government Corruption & Negligence” w/ Joel Pollak of Breitbart News – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 445

1982.714

Well, I think YouTube's also, my conspiracy against YouTube is they pretend to be virtuous. Like, oh, you can't bully, or you can't say the word suicide or death. But then they still let the video live on their thing. You just can't monetize it. So they've put these hoops there just because those hoops are so get through that they don't have to pay you.

Ask Dr. Drew

Jeff Dye: California Wildfires Were Caused By “Government Corruption & Negligence” w/ Joel Pollak of Breitbart News – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 445

2002.204

If they really were moral and virtuous about it, they would just not let the video be up because they have some problem with those words.

Ask Dr. Drew

Jeff Dye: California Wildfires Were Caused By “Government Corruption & Negligence” w/ Joel Pollak of Breitbart News – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 445

2017.776

They go, I get to keep the money. So it's allowed to be up there as long as I don't get paid for it. It's just a weird kind of thing. But that happens to me all the time. Yeah, not in our case. Robots also hear the word trans or bully or something like that and they just take the video down. It happens to me on Instagram all the time. They took away my Facebook.

Ask Dr. Drew

Jeff Dye: California Wildfires Were Caused By “Government Corruption & Negligence” w/ Joel Pollak of Breitbart News – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 445

2088.678

I get pissed about it whenever I – It's part of that physician Gavin Newsom who's – he's on Zoom with Joe Biden as people's house is on fire going, can you help us? We're getting a lot of bad press. I can't believe that. Yeah, there's a typhoon of misinformation. Yeah, it's not misinformation. Also, do you remember when Republicans used to say fake news?

Ask Dr. Drew

Jeff Dye: California Wildfires Were Caused By “Government Corruption & Negligence” w/ Joel Pollak of Breitbart News – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 445

2116.499

Now that's all the left does. They go, that's not real. They'll literally show a news report of firefighters or reporters going, wait, just talk to firefighters and this fire hydrant's empty. But if you then go, why was a fire hydrant empty? They go, that is misinformation. Also, they started a new word just this week. Libs are using the term disinformation.

Ask Dr. Drew

Jeff Dye: California Wildfires Were Caused By “Government Corruption & Negligence” w/ Joel Pollak of Breitbart News – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 445

220.719

They would forget sometimes that I was on those big group emails. And they would be like, hey, we've got this new show that's kind of a spinoff of the same kind of prank idea. We're looking for a host that's Jeff Dye-like. And then one of the people was like, just get Jeff Dye. Not knowing I'm still on the thing, they go, Jeff's aging out. I was like, I'm 28. I was hard on the old ego.

Ask Dr. Drew

Jeff Dye: California Wildfires Were Caused By “Government Corruption & Negligence” w/ Joel Pollak of Breitbart News – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 445

2230.054

If you want to know the exact things... If you get them on the horn, what you should start with is, what if I told you Dr. Drew is a Democrat? Tell him I'm a socialist.

Ask Dr. Drew

Jeff Dye: California Wildfires Were Caused By “Government Corruption & Negligence” w/ Joel Pollak of Breitbart News – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 445

2285.247

Which is the difference between, so I used to work at MTV. I had a podcast on ESPN with Russell Wilson for a very quick thing. That must have been so fun. I liked it. I had a good time. Russell was wildly unprofessional and just ghosted us. No. ESPN was like, we can't get a hold of Russ. And I was like, well, I can't get a hold of him either. And then he hasn't spoke to me since.

Ask Dr. Drew

Jeff Dye: California Wildfires Were Caused By “Government Corruption & Negligence” w/ Joel Pollak of Breitbart News – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 445

2312.289

I thought we had a thing going here. It didn't just hurt my feelings personally, but it's also pretty unprofessional. So what I was going to say was, For example, I made a joke to Candace Parker in one of the episodes, basically implying that I didn't know the difference between her and Candace Owens. But I love Candace Owens.

Ask Dr. Drew

Jeff Dye: California Wildfires Were Caused By “Government Corruption & Negligence” w/ Joel Pollak of Breitbart News – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 445

2335.831

And the joke was I had these note cards like, all right, Candace, I'm excited to talk to you. First question, what's your problem? And then they both kind of looked at me like, oh, I'm sorry, that was for Candace Owens. And I threw it behind my head. So I kind of sold out my politics to make a silly joke towards Candace Parker.

Ask Dr. Drew

Jeff Dye: California Wildfires Were Caused By “Government Corruption & Negligence” w/ Joel Pollak of Breitbart News – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 445

2352.582

So then there was this long phone call with ESPN like, hey, man, we don't do politics on this show. That joke was like a little risky. We don't do politics. Russ doesn't want to touch politics. You know, here at ESPN, we don't do politics. So I go, okay. I took my little tongue lashing.

Ask Dr. Drew

Jeff Dye: California Wildfires Were Caused By “Government Corruption & Negligence” w/ Joel Pollak of Breitbart News – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 445

2369.41

And then the next episode, we talked for over two hours with Chris Paul, the race baiter, about Black Lives Matter. But we don't do politics? This is the most political episode I've ever been a part of in my life. So basically what I got from that is like, no, we don't do your politics. We will decide the politics you will say. Now, when I go to Gutfeld, which just circling back,

Ask Dr. Drew

Jeff Dye: California Wildfires Were Caused By “Government Corruption & Negligence” w/ Joel Pollak of Breitbart News – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 445

2394.75

I'm allowed to go out and, if I wanted to, I don't know what world I would, but if I wanted to defend Hillary Clinton, or if I wanted to make a good point that was like, hey, guys. I have done stuff like that before.

Ask Dr. Drew

Jeff Dye: California Wildfires Were Caused By “Government Corruption & Negligence” w/ Joel Pollak of Breitbart News – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 445

2405.037

I don't think Joe Biden is, I think he's getting into, whenever I would do that, I'm allowed to. They might tease me or whatever, but I'm fully allowed to say it. That's the freedom of saying it. Not the producers going, we don't. You can't say that. What is freedom of speech? Definitely on this side, I've experienced it more than that side.

Ask Dr. Drew

Jeff Dye: California Wildfires Were Caused By “Government Corruption & Negligence” w/ Joel Pollak of Breitbart News – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 445

2455.84

Well, I defend people's rights. When I see a trans person, I go, USA, baby. The fact that that person is allowed to be like that, I love this country. I love this country. Good for them. Now, the guy that goes, look at this dumb six-foot-four bearded bitch, I defend that guy. That's his right to also do that. I think racism and sexism is deplorable, but it's not against the law.

Ask Dr. Drew

Jeff Dye: California Wildfires Were Caused By “Government Corruption & Negligence” w/ Joel Pollak of Breitbart News – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 445

2544.091

it again here we are self-segregating yeah they're going oh well i only hang out with black people or i only hang out with asians or i only hang out with this religion or i only hang out with this political party i only it's slowly segregating itself into what will be it's not even a melting pot it's just a bunch of pots well she got a history degree from ucla i'm pointing at my wife susan and at the commencement speech the

Ask Dr. Drew

Jeff Dye: California Wildfires Were Caused By “Government Corruption & Negligence” w/ Joel Pollak of Breitbart News – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 445

255.342

Shot in Nashville. Where? The Electric Jane, which is a really cool music venue. And I love cigars, and it's like a cigar place too.

Ask Dr. Drew

Jeff Dye: California Wildfires Were Caused By “Government Corruption & Negligence” w/ Joel Pollak of Breitbart News – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 445

2596.32

Yeah. Yeah. All those things are like, but I see history repeating itself even in like weird small ways. Like, I remember cigarettes were like, at the beginning, it was like, everyone cool smokes cigarettes. And then they were like, even physicians were going, oh, it's actually good for your nerves. You know, it calms your nerves, you know, like. Don't go crazy, but we think this is probably fine.

Ask Dr. Drew

Jeff Dye: California Wildfires Were Caused By “Government Corruption & Negligence” w/ Joel Pollak of Breitbart News – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 445

2613.95

It probably helps. And then it was like, all right, this is killing people. Maybe we should put some Surgeon General. Then it became government, make sure they know that it'll kill. And then vapes came out by the same men who were selling cigarettes, the same companies, the same family names. Wow, they do it with food.

Ask Dr. Drew

Jeff Dye: California Wildfires Were Caused By “Government Corruption & Negligence” w/ Joel Pollak of Breitbart News – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 445

2631.023

They do it with everything. It's like once you start seeing it, you go, oh, man, this is tougher than we thought. It's worse than we thought.

Ask Dr. Drew

Jeff Dye: California Wildfires Were Caused By “Government Corruption & Negligence” w/ Joel Pollak of Breitbart News – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 445

2680.938

Yeah, I wish we would make it more cool socially. I don't know about government-wise, but we should make it more cool to be good.

Ask Dr. Drew

Jeff Dye: California Wildfires Were Caused By “Government Corruption & Negligence” w/ Joel Pollak of Breitbart News – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 445

2705.683

When you start having a diet, you know, my buddy this morning, he's at coffee. He doesn't want to eat this, like, lemon loaf. And everyone was like, just have it. Oh, my God. Oh, your stupid diet. And even he seceded. Like, all right, next month, I'll crush that. But this month, I have to be good. It's like we're so fine with bad behavior. We've just accepted it. We're just like...

Ask Dr. Drew

Jeff Dye: California Wildfires Were Caused By “Government Corruption & Negligence” w/ Joel Pollak of Breitbart News – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 445

2743.684

I just think it's better to be like... Have you always been this way? Yeah. Okay. I just think like, you know, like I... When I drank forever and drinking is so fun and alcohol is great. There's so many positives to alcohol.

Ask Dr. Drew

Jeff Dye: California Wildfires Were Caused By “Government Corruption & Negligence” w/ Joel Pollak of Breitbart News – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 445

2756.861

But then I was like, once I got clean and my life started coming together and my relationships were better and I wasn't making decisions that I would later regret or later hold myself hostage emotionally for. I was like, oh, why isn't this encouraged? Why are we making sobriety cool? This is a really good thing to have your shit together. It's a very positive thing to, why is it so cool to drink?

Ask Dr. Drew

Jeff Dye: California Wildfires Were Caused By “Government Corruption & Negligence” w/ Joel Pollak of Breitbart News – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 445

2779.093

Why is it so cool to smoke pot and do mushrooms and all this stuff? Why is that so popular? Which it should be because those are good. There's good things about it. But why can't also making the right choices be popular?

Ask Dr. Drew

Jeff Dye: California Wildfires Were Caused By “Government Corruption & Negligence” w/ Joel Pollak of Breitbart News – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 445

2809.732

I do AA once a week. And that's become like a little community, like a little church. Of course. That's the positive of that.

Ask Dr. Drew

Jeff Dye: California Wildfires Were Caused By “Government Corruption & Negligence” w/ Joel Pollak of Breitbart News – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 445

281.479

And also, if you notice on that cigar, I'm going through my cowboy phase, but that cigar has a red pill on it. And Oliver Barrett, who made the poster, designed the poster, came up with the poster. He was like, I think this is a perfect way of you sitting back and observing what's going on since COVID and Black Lives Matter and all that. You're really getting into your cowboy phase. Brilliant.

Ask Dr. Drew

Jeff Dye: California Wildfires Were Caused By “Government Corruption & Negligence” w/ Joel Pollak of Breitbart News – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 445

2856.598

Yeah, I lied for a long time. I was a liar for a big part of my life, which actually helps with jokes. It helps in comedy. It helps with girls. It helps you... It's a great shortcut line. You learn early, like, I could just manipulate these words and then I get a thing. You learn it so young.

Ask Dr. Drew

Jeff Dye: California Wildfires Were Caused By “Government Corruption & Negligence” w/ Joel Pollak of Breitbart News – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 445

2873.382

But then I read a book by Sam Harris in 2000, probably pre, I only know it was before 2015, but I'm not sure how much before. But the book's just called Lying. And it's so simple that there's not a single lie that will benefit you more than the truth in the long term. And the book basically opens it up to people like, give me a scenario you think we're lying would be better.

Ask Dr. Drew

Jeff Dye: California Wildfires Were Caused By “Government Corruption & Negligence” w/ Joel Pollak of Breitbart News – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 445

2896.73

And they're like, how about if a murderer is chasing a kid and then the kid runs into your house and you close the door and then the murderer is at the door going, hey, is that kid in there? Is it okay to lie then? He goes, no, because if you say the kid isn't here, now you've sent a murderer to your neighbor's house.

Ask Dr. Drew

Jeff Dye: California Wildfires Were Caused By “Government Corruption & Negligence” w/ Joel Pollak of Breitbart News – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 445

2910.683

You know, so what would be better is you don't have to give information, but just be honest. I wouldn't tell you if there was a kid in here and if you keep banging on my door, I'm going to shoot you. Or I've already called the police, get lost. Like those aren't lies, that's truth. But like you don't, there's never a lie is never better. A lie is never better than the truth.

Ask Dr. Drew

Jeff Dye: California Wildfires Were Caused By “Government Corruption & Negligence” w/ Joel Pollak of Breitbart News – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 445

2935.216

They go, oh, that guy's always honest with me. He said my script sucked. You know? He just said this. He said, I'm an asshole. Yeah, he just said that. Oh, man, you know how many girls have turned around with that? I find you socially repulsive. You have only been a brat tonight. You are demanding people around, and you are beautiful.

Ask Dr. Drew

Jeff Dye: California Wildfires Were Caused By “Government Corruption & Negligence” w/ Joel Pollak of Breitbart News – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 445

2952.023

And I earlier would have loved to have gotten to know you, but you're socially repulsive. And then watch, they turn it around. They'll be like, hey, you know, I was just drunk, I think. Or I was nervous. Or, you know, hey, I have anxiety. And then you turn it around.

Ask Dr. Drew

Jeff Dye: California Wildfires Were Caused By “Government Corruption & Negligence” w/ Joel Pollak of Breitbart News – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 445

3014.947

bit of uh the good thing about being well it didn't feel like courage at the time it just felt like doing what was right right yeah that's how it should start and then you can also learn from it yes you know you can go oh i might have been wrong on that or like oh i thought one thing on that thing and it wasn't true necessarily but like by by being courage you can learn that that's the beauty of trying to to have the conflict yeah because with the conflict comes from resolution and one of two things are happening either get to be right which feels good or you get to learn which is just as good

Ask Dr. Drew

Jeff Dye: California Wildfires Were Caused By “Government Corruption & Negligence” w/ Joel Pollak of Breitbart News – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 445

And you're just sitting there going, oh, no. I'm sitting here feeling sorry for myself because some female comics are mean to me. But that's how humans die.

I thought that... Every politician, every man, every woman has a great opportunity when things go wrong to say, hey, we're doing our best. We screwed up. Or here's something we could have done different. Or, you know, we're with you. I agree. Not... defending what we can very clearly see were missteps or mismanagement or these things. The internet lives. The internet is a living thing.

Yeah, and we've got plenty of time while we're homeless at some weird friend's house. Right. So what is curious to me is like, what a great opportunity to just like when Trump was during the debates and they brought up the Brooklyn Five or the Brooklyn Seven or whatever that was. The only reason we know about that, by the way, we're not that smart. We saw it on a Netflix documentary.

And like all Trump had known at that point with the Brooklyn gentleman is that they had admitted to beating up and raping a woman. And so Donald Trump was like, I would have killed him. I would have given, because all he knows at that time is is that they admitted to a crime that's so heinous that he wanted people to like him, and he said, I would have done this.

Now we're going years back and saying, you said you would have killed those boys. That was a great opportunity for Trump that he missed, where he said, I was wrong. I didn't even know the information. I only had the information you guys had. And I said what I thought was right for that moment, and turns out in hindsight, now that we have all this new information, I was wrong.

She only internalizes that as they're being mean to me because my genitals and race. That's the most crazy part of all of what's happened in the last 20 years is that no one can just be an asshole. They must have been an asshole to you because you're Jewish or because you're black or because you're a woman. It makes you then go... Well, what are we even doing then?

Why put anyone in these positions? Why have female refs? If every time the NBA player yells at the female ref, she's going to go, it's because I'm a girl. It just makes you want to go forget all of it.

I don't know if Joel sold his soul or if he's aging in reverse or something. But when you look at how long he's been doing it, he was on Almost Live. I used to watch him. But if me and Joel were hanging out at the Grove or something, he'd go, look at those two guys of the same age and probably went to school together. No, he's done everything. I used to watch him when I was young on Almost Live.

Jonathan Winters used to brag about all of his prank calls and things at a very young age. I don't know. I won't give my parents credit for it because they just weren't into that kind of stuff. But I think maybe a friend or somebody gave me like Jerky Boys.

But there was so many girls coming in and out of like the chapters of our lives that like I call this one woman, Tabitha Hess, my sister, because she was really close with my sister, Jen. Got it. And then there was another one, Bobby Jo, and she was like inseparable with my oldest sister, Janice.
