It’s Thanksgiving Day, and we’re serving up a special Best of the Tim Conway Jr. Show! We kick things off with Dr. Drew, diving into a big conversation about Tylenol, vaccines, autism, and the pandemic — no topic is off limits. Then, buckle up for one of the greatest stories ever told by Jay Leno: a mysterious group in Italy wants to build a statue of him, and somehow, it ends with Leno squatting in a house. Only on this show does that make sense. It’s smart, strange, and laugh-out-loud funny — just the way we like it.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's KFI AM six forty and you're listening to the
Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. Perfect for
Thanksgiving because nothing says family time like hiding in your
room and listening to KFI was quickly the audience's favorite
as well. And he is back. You know him from
(00:22):
Loveline with Adam Carolla, Ladies and Gentlemen, Doctor Drew Pinski,
Doctor Drew. How you Bob, I'm good man.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Good to hear your voice, Monnie.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
I always love watching you, whether it's on Fox or CNN,
but now I'm starting to enjoy you on with Corolla.
Is that Is that a new thing I've missed for
a while where you guys do a weekly show.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
It is not a new thing that you have missed
for a while. We've been We've been doing it for
like twelve years, and people are finding it now. Okay,
so it's great, we're back. So here we are.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
How Come I haven't found it though? Before? How come?
I I'm just getting hooked up now? Why have you
buried it?
Speaker 3 (00:56):
I think.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
I don't know that it was bareared so much as
Adam has been complaining about the same stuff for twelve years,
and now it's started to be quite relevant.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Okay, but I saw the recent one where you're talking
about Thailand All, and you have the same recommendation I do.
And I'm glad that we agree on this, that when
women are pregnant they should try to take nothing.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Yes, I completely agree. I mean, the chromatin is opened.
The developmental process is extremely complex and delicate and prone
to error, and you don't want to do anything that
can contribute to that error. We here's one of the
great ironies in all of this story. One, of course,
I think people are becoming increasingly aware that the Thailand
(01:41):
All manufacturers themselves have been worried about talanh All during pregnancy.
It's gone back and forth, but they've shown to a
course of ten years, some real serious concern. They called
it a heavy concern. The other thing that's really an
irony is the American College of Physicians. I was doing
my board reviews a couple months ago, and the rheumatology
(02:01):
section there they in the course of that review, they
recommend that only one medication be considered to be continued
during pregnancy. Really for the loopus patients, this one medicine
should stay on. This medicine because it's so benign and
so inert, and that medicine is hydroxychloroquin.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Oh, you got to be kidding. The one where they
were any doctor recommended during COVID, they want to take
his license from him.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
That's the medicaid exactly, exactly, my god.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
But I've been using it for decades from our loopa's patients.
I knew there was nothing wrong with it. The fact
that pharmacists weren't allowing doctors to prescribe it. They literally
were blocking the prescribing. People's licenses are being revoked now.
It is literally more inert than pilot all per per
the American College or Physician.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
It's unbelievable. Doctor Drew Pinsk's with us. I saw something
really disturbing online and I wanted to get your opinion.
I know when Donald Trump came out and said, hey,
you know, don't take tyland all. And then you know
all the other doctors were you know, it didn't go
as far as Donald as President Trump did, but he said,
you know, I can say this, don't take it, don't
take anything, don't take Tyland all. And then I can't
(03:14):
tell you how many videos I saw the next three
or four days with women who were videotaping themselves pregnant
and popping a til and all just to stick it
to President Trump. I couldn't believe that.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
When I saw that, I thought to myself, Wow, we've
got to really get on making the Trump derangement syndrome
a diagnostic category, because now it's causing harm to others.
They literally they are willing to risk harming their babies
to stick it to Donald Trump. It's the most bizarre thing.
People will look back on this very unkindly, and it
(03:48):
makes me increasingly concerned about how casually women are taking
a development fetus inside their body. I mean, it makes
me wonder if there's sort of some the weird shift
that people have taken. Maybe it's the casualness about abortion.
I don't know what it is, but the fact that
somebody could even contemplate consciously putting a developing fetus in
(04:12):
harm's way is just phenomenal.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Doctor Drews with us. My wife is a not a hoarder,
but well, okay, she's a hoarder, but she also does
she also saves a lot of things that turn out
to be, you know, valuable in the in the future.
For instance, she kept every one of her medical records,
at every note while she was pregnant in two thousand
(04:36):
and five, and it was nice to have, nice to
go through and look at it. But in those notes,
she discovered yesterday that her doctor and she had a fever,
you know, during her pregnancy. Her doctor underline, please do
not take tylanol.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Interesting you know, they're they're a doctor, an offstrician might
elect to prescribe talanol and look all these things. The
CDC is there to make recommendations to physicians. That's it.
That's what their job is. To advise us and give
us data to keep us abreast of trends and infectious
diseases and whatnot. They are not telling you what to do.
(05:15):
They're not taking away talent all I'm giving you tilet all.
They're just saying that there's a signal. We're going to
alert doctors that that signal might suggest it it's something
you want to avoid. But guess what if the doctor
thinks it's important for you to take the title al
because the fever can risk the pregnancy too. If the
doctor believes you need it, you will be recommended to
take the damn tile at all. The fact that we're
(05:37):
even having these discussions is bizarre. This is all the
aftermath of COVID. It really is that none of this
know the press. The government never should have involved during
the pandemic. The physicians should have just done their job,
but public Health and CDC centralized authority and it became
an unbelievable disaster.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
And you made a great point when you're on with
Adam Krola in your last podcast. If you're a nineteen
year old, healthy male or female and you're not pregnant
and you have a fever, go ahead and take tylanol.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Tilanol is good.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
People got very weird about it. Also not an anti
inflammatory technically, it's an anti pyritic and anti antil jesuic.
It's a very good, very safe medicine. But it's worth remembering.
You know, I worked thirty five years on a psychiatric hospital.
The most lethal suicide gesture as I saw were with tylanol.
I saw one guy get complete and total irreversible liver
(06:35):
failure and die from eight to eight to eight thilanol
wow into fifteen to twenty in a single ingestion. We'll
do it to just about anybody. And once that takes
hold of the course of about seventy two hours. There
is no turning back. It is a fatal event.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
Oh my god. I hope people know that. I mean that,
I didn't know that. I hope that word gets out there.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Yeah, it's important toalerold, you know. And if you're an alcoholic,
tylanalk is less well tolerated. It's a patatoxic substance in
certain situations. But you're bringing up an important point here
is that we have this weird thing in this country
now where medications are supposed to make life better, make
us flourish. Pharmacology is there to intervene, so physicians can
(07:18):
intervene in disabling and life threatening illness. Period if the
risk reward, if we cannot significantly alter the course of
a dangerous condition, we should not be using pharmacology. And
there are plenty of things we use that are dangerous,
but the risk reward is there because the disease itself
is more dangerous. But this idea that medicine is going
(07:41):
to make life better, make humans flourish, we are on
the wrong course.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
Doctor Drew. Can you stay whether you're another segment or
do you got to run? I can say okay, excellent,
all right, Doctor Drew is with us. He is the
absolute best and welcome back. I want to talk to
about Charlie Kirk, also COVID, and also I had a
story to tell you about doctor Drew when he used
to come up with us on KLSX The Proof, just
to show what kind of guy he is. We're live
on KFI AM sick forty. Doctor Drew Pinsk's with us.
Speaker 4 (08:08):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty, Doc Drew.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
Before we get into COVID, I want to ask you
a personal question. I grew up.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Wait wait, wait wait wait. Before the personal question, I've
got to put a little code on a promotion we
had there for the Union Rescue Mission Andy Bales down
there is his most impactful institution downtown on homelessness. And
of course the government will acknowledge them because they're a
faith based organization. But please support them. I heard one
of your someone who's going to jump off the building
for them. Oh, you support them. They do an extraordinary job.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
Okay with it?
Speaker 2 (08:40):
What is it is?
Speaker 1 (08:41):
The what mission?
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Is it? Union Rescue Mission? It's one of the Downtown
missions and they've been there for one hundred years, and
they actually make a difference on homelessness. They actually treat them,
they don't keep them in the streets. It's just what
we're doing is exact opposite of what we should be doing.
But they do it right down there, right in the
rescue mission.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
And running risk of swearing. It's an ef and disgrace
that they're not supported just because they're bringing more religion
into in not necessarily forcing it on them, just religious,
religious based.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
It's a faith based organization, and therefore they're forbidden. So
it's ridiculous. Everything, everything at our disposal should be deployed.
Are you kidding me? It's a humanitarian crisis.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
But I want to ask you a personal question because
I basically grew up, you know, listening to you talk
about the triplets. I want to get an update. How
old are those kids now? What are they doing? I
haven't heard from them since Loveline.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
So they're in their mid thirty there. I'm at my
son's house in Irvine, babysitting his one eight month old daughter, Wow,
and again they are going to be two more. He's
an attorney and doing very well. My other son is
becoming atal health professional. And my daughter is a writer,
(10:01):
Columbia trained writer, so she has a certain point of
view Colombia make sure of. But she's very, very, very talented,
very talented.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
I can't believe they're thirty. I was going to say nineteen,
maybe twenty.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
Oh my god, sorry, my friends.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
Good for you.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
They were probably that all less time I saw.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Yeah, probably they were. Let me tell you, and again
before we get into COVID, I remember when you used
to come on with us. You know, you used to
come on our show at Kyles X and then you
drive over to do love Line. I remember on more
than one occasion somebody called they were under distress and
you could hear it in their voice, and during the
commercial break, you spent the entire commercial break talking to them,
(10:43):
giving them your your cell phone number, and really giving
you know, them great advice and really caring about them.
And I don't think people saw that side of you
as often as I did. But it's terrific, buddy.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Well, it's very kind. I mean, I look, I'm not
doing my job. What am I doing? And I still
do it to this day. I'm not doing the psychiatric stuff.
I'm not running an addiction program. I'm still doing general medicine,
and I never did I imagine all that time on
the radio would we end up here where we are now?
Speaker 1 (11:12):
This is not what we intended, right, All right, let's
talk about COVID. Do you recommend the shot? Who do
you recommend it for? What's the what's the word?
Speaker 2 (11:20):
So keep in mind, got to have a little nuanced
in your thinking everybody. Doctors need to make a risk
reward analysis for everything we do, absolutely everything. During the
darker hours of Alpha and delta, it was absolutely appropriate
to take real risk with the vaccine. It was a
miracle we had a vaccine so quickly, and in my
(11:42):
elderly patients, in particular over the age of seventy, I
think we helped them. I had only one severe vaccine reaction.
Of course, the vers report I submitted was completely ignored,
but I had one reaction and the rest people had
relatively mild COVID. Once we hit the omicron error era,
the use of the vaccine was less clear and we
(12:03):
started seeing significant side effects, particularly in younger males, where
the need for a vaccine in the days of the
variance of omicron for a young healthy person, they are
not going to be hospitalized. They're not going to die.
There's a zero probability. There's a non zero probability that
they're going to get mildcarditis, which is a very serious condition.
(12:25):
So there's that issue in the young people, the elderly.
Many of my oulderly patients still choose to get it. However,
I no longer know what we're doing. It's not clear
that it's doing anything, and the variance for which it
is specifically directed are not in this region right now,
So I don't understand quite what we're doing. But some
of my patients still choose to get.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
It all right, and then, without going in great detail,
because I know it's a very complicated question, are we
any closer to what is causing the explosion in autism?
Speaker 2 (12:56):
We're closer. I mean, obviously there was a signal or
tile and all. There was a significant issue and people
need to pay attention with that. And I know, you know,
I know Jay Abatisharia and obviously about Oz very well.
I communicate with them regularly. They feel like they're on
the trail of some interesting things. I think vaccines are
going to be implicated exactly how, it's not clear. I
(13:18):
think they rushed to that press conference a little bit.
This is my humble opinion to give some highlights, some
headline that they could hang their hat on because they
weren't quite ready on the rest of the mature yet.
It takes a long time to do this science, and
they have a commitment to do it right, and I
trust those guys to do it.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
And the big news over the last couple of weeks
was Charlie Kirk. Did you ever meet him? Do you
ever work with him?
Speaker 2 (13:41):
I did. I interviewed him a couple of times. He
was exactly as he has been portrayed. I was not
very familiar with his turning point. I just you know,
I knew kind of who he was and I interviewed him.
He's a good guy. But he has had a major impact.
And you know, I have talked to many people, including
Corolla who we're in Phoenix during the event, and they
(14:02):
said it was the memorial and they said it was
like nothing they'd ever experienced.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
Wow, I tell you the way that his death is
affecting the younger generation, it is absolutely their JFK of
this generation.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
I think so. And you know, we've gone through a period. Look,
we've been there's been a very significant narcissistic turning this country.
When you have a lot of people with narcissistic burden,
you tend to get mobs, and you tend to get scapegoating.
And we're in the midst of a big scapegoating problem,
largely brought on by the rhetoric of people calling other
people non human, fascists, hit or you fill in the blank.
(14:40):
It becomes almost if you're a patriot, it's almost your
obligation to do something. If I believe that stuff, I
feel like I should do something. True. But if you're
a narcissist, you're scapegoating. You're forming mobs. You get in
getting these social media and Reddit rooms where you're convinced
that of your sense of reality, and these things happen.
And the thing about escapegoat is they can flip into
(15:00):
a martyr, and I think that's exactly what happened with
Charlie Kirk, and he's obviously motivating a lot of spiritual
transformation that change.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
Yeah, And they've had one hundred and twenty five thousand
requests to start an on campus branch of Turning Point USA,
which I think is terrific. When I was a kid.
I think I had five or six vaccines, you know, inoculations, immunizations.
What is it now? Is it one hundred and thirty?
Speaker 2 (15:27):
It's close to one hundred. But the reality this is
back to what I was saying earlier. Look, I was
raised by an old talty practitioner, and he would never
let me take any medication ever. I remember the first
time I took an antibiotic. I was fifteen, and he
came home with some sponsors, with some samples, and he goes,
all right, here we go. I mean, the pediatrician wants
you to do. I think it's a terrible idea, but
(15:48):
go ahead, he would. He is rolling over his grave
with all of everything we do has risk everything, and
we have lost track of that. We are so enthusiastic
about our medical advances that we assume it's only going
to make a positive change. We are not contemplating what
we are doing. There's downside to every intervention, particularly pharmacology
(16:12):
and interventions that manipulate our immune system. Of course there's
going to be a downside. One more question. Need to
be sure the risk is worth it?
Speaker 1 (16:18):
One more question. I'll let you go. There's six kids
in our family growing up and I used to hate
getting shots because my arm would be on fire for
the next five days and I hated it. I couldn't
stand going to the doctor. So we went to get
our shots. It was a fall in the fall of
like I don't know, nineteen seventy one or whatever it was.
And while the nurse was giving my four brothers and
my sister a shot, I took one of those round
(16:40):
band aids and put it on my arm and she said,
did everyone? She said, did everyone get it? And I
said yeah, and I pointed to my arm. She goes, oh,
I didn't think I gave it to you. I guess
I did. I missed that vaccine or that muculation, but
I don't know what one.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
It was justin for a career radio. But but there,
but there are there are questions about the childhood vaccine
schedule and hepatitis B. I was around. My regdency director
was very involved in the research. I was there during
the research and we were interested in intervening on maternal
field maternal to baby transmission of HEBE in China. It
(17:18):
is still primarily in Asia that this exists. It's almost
only in IVY drug users and Asian immigrants that it
exists in this country. And guess what those people are
tested for hepatitis B. And that baby, if the mom
has had sepatitis B, we'll get the vaccine. Why are
we giving it to every baby in the country. It's bizarre, It's.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
Crazy, Buddy. I really appreciate you coming on. I would
love to have you, you know, on every couple of months,
and the audience really enjoys hearing your boys.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
All right, good, it's good to hear yours and I'd
love to join you.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
Thanks Ben, I appreciate it, all right, Thank us, Doctor
Drew Pinsky. Don't forget he mentioned the rescue mission downtown,
the Union Rescue Mission. We are supporting them with Neil
Sevedra and Amy King jumping off a building and scaling.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
I think it's the Universal share it and up at
Universal Studios. So if you can support them doing that,
that would be great. Are We've got some breaking news here.
Body discovered near the two ten freeway in AZUSA. Come
back and see what that's all about.
Speaker 4 (18:20):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from kf
I AM six forty.

to Italy and they go to Fami, which is the
(19:24):
village where my grandfather came from. So they go, Jay,
when we're in Fa Mai, and everybody there looks like
you go, I know that's where my grandfather came from.
They came to America. Okay, my grandfather was born in
eighteen fifty seven. Wow, okay, okay, so I am okay
so uh. He meets the mayor. So he bites the
mayor when you're in America, come to the tonight show.
(19:45):
Six months later, Jay the mayor from what the mayor
and the mayor comes in after the show. He looks
like Italian made. He's got the little hat that's too
small for his head to suit. The buttons are too
far party because he's more in a too. He's kind
of fand he goes he's Eleno and the mayor of
FROMI with your grandfather. One nice to meet, you say,
because listen, we want to build a statue of you
(20:06):
and your grandfather to put in a town square. I said,
you know, I'm not really a statue. No, no, you
tomorrow is from humble beginnings. Your grandfather, his grandson becomes
a huge starter to our village. You would mean so
much to have the statue of you and your grandfather
in our town square. He says, will you give a famish?
I said, well, all right, yes, thank you. He goes, yes,
(20:29):
good now the basic statue is the seventy five thousand dollars.
If you want to be on the hill looking down,
it's you know, I said, I don't really know. I
believe that. I mean, somebody has to pay for it.
I know, I understand, I said, I appreciate it. It
couldn't be the most Italian thing. Oh yeah, oh yeah,
(20:52):
just hilarious.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
God wait, your grandfather was born before the Civil War,
before the Civil War. Oh that is.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
Nineteen fifty seven.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
Yeah, he's almost one hundred years out of time.
Speaker 3 (21:04):
My dad was born in nineteen ten.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
Wow, you know what that's that's great genes. You're gonna
be around a long time.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
Well, we'll see.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
You know, I was talking about you know, you had
a great line we were talking about during the commercial break.
If you you know a lot of people have these
catalytic converters stolen off their car. And if you take
it off your own car, well, this is what it's
a problem.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
It's a federal offense because it's a government mandate. You know,
So you take catileca, it's a ten thousand dollars fine
to mess with the emission system on your car.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
Ten thousand dollars fine, if you do it.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
If you do it, yes, but if your catalytic converter
is stolen by a thief, it's a misdemeanor. So you
would actually what you used to do is hire a
thief to take your cadle converter off right?
Speaker 1 (21:52):
And what do they get the guy that steals the
catalytic converter, they're three thousand dollars to replace you.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
Like, you know, I had a friend of mine. You
just needed all these CD people when you're in show business.
And this guy used to steal cars and he would say,
what do you think you get for Stone Mercedes something
a thousand, ten thousand, no, seventy five bucks?
Speaker 2 (22:09):
What? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (22:10):
And he said I had to steal two or three
a night to make enough money, you know. And then
they sell it to a shop shop and he sells
it for and they tell every piece of the car's
gone you And that's that's what it is. That's what
it is.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
It's hard to sell nowadays because they're all numbers, yeah, and.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
Catalytic converter is also it's illegal to sell them, so
he got to sell them to someone who knows he's buying.
So he's committing a crime by buying it from you,
so he's not going to pay you anything for it. Yeah, yeah,
it's it's a terrible thing.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
But you know, up until recently, fire engines didn't have
the Cadillac converse. Now they all do. What's the what's
the advantage of not having Well.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
In the old days, when emissions was not as computer
oriented as is now, and they couldn't regulate it quite
as well, if you took the catalytic converter off your car,
your engine ran better because it ran a little cooler,
you know, didn't have to be quite so lean, so
he got better mileage and more power.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (23:03):
Fire engines have to perform at a certain standard, so
they were exempt for years until they came up with
modern more mind modern fire engines, the more up to
date equipment, you know. So now now they all have CATLLAC,
even motorcycles.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
Do.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
Is your garage in la or in the valley? It's
in Burbank Burbank Airport. Yeah I knew the airport, okay, right?
Do you have somebody maintained for you and somebody keeps
it clean?
Speaker 3 (23:27):
Well, I have people who work there. I keep it clean.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
You know you're there? Are you there every day. I'm
there every day. Yeah, really, Yeah, it's my Malibu beach.
I heard you never sell one of those cars, you
only give them away.
Speaker 3 (23:36):
Well, no, no, I don't like the selling. No, I
like I like all my I have all my.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
Cas is, the whole garage and everything expensive to ensure
it's gotta be h Yeah, like hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Speaker 3 (23:47):
Yeah, that's probably correct.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
Yeah, but that's fair to say you never sell a car.
No not, I just like you ever buy him anymore. Yeah,
you're still buying cars, you know something.
Speaker 3 (23:57):
I watch horders and go. I don't see the problem.
I mean there's still a path to the bedroom. Look,
you can get the guy can get into the bathroom.
Look you just go around to the thing, you know. Yeah, No,
I don't know if you have electric cars. I do
have an electric. I got a nineteen oh nine Baker Electric.
I got a nineteen Detroit electric. They had electric before
you had gas. In fact, in the year nineteen oh
(24:19):
seven eight nine, a third of the cars were steam,
a third were electric, and a third were gas. And
there was a battle which one was going to win.
And we're kind of going through that now. I think
the next big player is going to be hydrogen. That'll
be the next one to come.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
I didn't know this until recently. I was watching YouTube
or TikTok where I go my information from. But the
Brownstones in Manhattan were built up three or four feet
and you had stairs because when they were built, the
streets were all filled with horse crap, right, that's right,
and people were tired of that.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
That's where there were dashboard comes. Dash was another word
for manure. Oh, so they would put a board in front,
so when the horses kicked up manure, it would hit
the board, it would hit the dash board.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
Yea, yeah.
Speaker 3 (25:01):
So then then then cars came in, and then he
had an engine in front. Now the dashboard obviously just
holds the gauges.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
But right, and as you said, I think last time
you're on there was it was a great trade off
from you know, the horses filled with uh, you know,
horse crap and the alternative was a puff of blue smoke.
Speaker 3 (25:17):
That's right. I mean that seemed like, oh, this is
so much better than having six tons of manure in
your sixty tons of manure every day in New York City.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
Do you remember your dad probably did this, maybe your
your grandfather. My grandfather used to do this in Cleveland
when he would go to change the oil in his car.
He'd put two tires up on the curb and then
undo the this, you know, the screw there, this, you know,
the speaker or whatever holds the oil, and then the
oil goes right into the gutter.
Speaker 3 (25:42):
Yeah, yeah, goes back to the earth where it came from.
Speaker 5 (25:44):
That's it.
Speaker 3 (25:45):
Yeah, yeah, that it goes right back. That's the beauty
of it.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
Goes back to the earth.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
Do you see it some recycling?
Speaker 2 (25:50):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (25:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
All right, Jay, thank you you guy, thank you to
having me on John Rose.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
All right, thank you. So I really appreciate you.
Speaker 4 (25:57):
You're listening to Tim Conwayjun you're ondo from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
Stuff your face, loosen the pants and kick back with
stuff we did over the last year or so. Jay
Leno's with us. Jay, what would you do with one
thousand dollars? Thousand dollars dollars? First of all, I would
get it.
Speaker 3 (26:19):
I would get ten dollars a year for well you
take this, yeah, maybe years to pay out. I do
the payoff because you get all the one, So you're
gonna go crazy.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
So yeah, that's what right do you buy lottery tickets?
Speaker 3 (26:31):
No, I that's the stupidest thing as idiots buy lottery.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
I remember, Jay, it was Adam Caroll who was talking
about a woman who went into a seven to eleven
in a wheelchair oxygen tanks and she's rolling in. She
was give me a super Lotto ticket and he's like, what,
how could that possibly improve your life? It's almost over,
you know, and she's rooting for four hundred million dollars.
Speaker 5 (26:51):
She's hoping for a late ending rally on our life.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
You know, when you were here when the John and
Ken Show was still the John and Ken Show. I
remember you came on. You're on for a half hour,
very funny, and I think it was still during the
Tonight Show days. And then you left in a steam
car and they were complaining probably yeah, my.
Speaker 3 (27:09):
First of all, a steam car runs on water, water, vapor, okay,
so because and it's a cold day, so plumes of steam.
He goes lotos.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
Let those cars polluting. He's just polluting everywhere, just butt.
Speaker 3 (27:21):
He knocksious gases and you know, we got to do
whatever that shouldn't be allowed. I'm just going, hey, I
was just on your show, it's a steam car. It's
a steam car.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
Corolla. You know you're good friends with yes, don't he?
He has another funny line. He said that in two
hundred years from now, somebody, some kid in eighth grade
will do a paper on Jay Leno, and Jay Leno
died in you know, in twenty seventy two in a
steam car accident. You'll get a fail on it, you know,
because steam cars went out two hundred years before that.
Speaker 5 (27:54):
That's right, that's coret Is. Corona's got a garage kind
of like yours, does he hear?
Speaker 3 (27:58):
Yeah, he likes cars. He likes mostly race cars.
Speaker 5 (28:01):
So so in the in terms of your garage and
hit your garage, it seems like, and this I get
from your shows and watching YouTube, like you like these
various stories that go with the car. You know you
you sort of like cars that have a history.
Speaker 3 (28:15):
Yeah, because I have a funny story.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
Yeah, Yeah, he likes race cars.
Speaker 3 (28:18):
I like cars.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
What's the most valuable one you have?
Speaker 3 (28:21):
Well it's probably McLaren F one because that's a very
valuable car.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
But what's the most sentimental one?
Speaker 3 (28:27):
Well, my fifty five bu Wick that was the first
guy I bought. When it came to car. You know,
I flew out here to California. You know, I was
sitting at my apartment in Boston, and I was like,
and my friends. I had friends that were wanted to
be comedians, just singers, but they're working as weight as
their waitresses, and then they couldn't go to auditions because
they had to work. And I didn't want to be
(28:48):
in that position. I wanted to make my living as
a comedian if I could. I said, you know something,
I just kind of got a plane to go to California.
So I call the airline flight whatever it is, Okay,
I got it, Okay, I landed al I only get
I need a car. Was so I see the Penny Savers.
I go to the Pennies everything. Oh, it's a fifty
five uer. I see the where's Winchester. It's about three
(29:10):
well three months, okay, So I call the guy that
car Stifficil. Yeah, is cab take me this address in Winchester.
I get there. It looked okay, and I thought, well,
if I don't buy it, I got to take a
cab back to the airport and then take a cab
to I.
Speaker 4 (29:23):
Don't know what.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
I don't know anybody here.
Speaker 3 (29:26):
So I didn't buy it. So you know, I was like,
how much is three fifty? I'll give you a three
forty ride? Okay, you know, not really, I was not
really a good day. So okay, I got the car
and it was a big car, so I could live
in the car.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
So I did.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
That's live?
Speaker 1 (29:40):
Is that right?
Speaker 2 (29:40):
For?
Speaker 1 (29:40):
How long?
Speaker 2 (29:42):
For?
Speaker 1 (29:42):
Why not?
Speaker 2 (29:43):
Still?
Speaker 3 (29:43):
Well, you know what I would do and people find
this doesn't seem unusual to me. I would search the
paper for open houses. So I go to open house
and he like Sunday noon to four. So I get
there at three thirty and I look around. This is
very nice, and then I'd say, okay, thank you, thank
you very much. Okay. I'd shut the door and then
(30:03):
I go in like the hall closet, and I'd just
stand there and I'd wait maybe forty five minutes an hour,
and the real two would leave and I'd live in
the house for two three days.
Speaker 1 (30:12):
Oh that's cool. Have you ever talked about that. I've
never heard of. I've never know my story.
Speaker 3 (30:18):
I have once in a while, and it was because
in those days, houses didn't this is the seventies.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
Houses didn't have alarms.
Speaker 3 (30:24):
And I didn't. I didn't steal anything or I didn't
you know.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
You're just looking for a warm Yeah.
Speaker 3 (30:28):
One day, one day I was there's a house on
cold Water Canyon. Oh it's a nice house, you know.
And then I belonged to one of the beach boys.
We don't know which one, but he was selling it.
So I got something in the house, same thing. And
I'm sleeping and I hear the next room here was
the master bedroom, and the wife walks in there and goes, oh,
there's someone in the bed. There's no one living here,
there's someone in that bed. Then the real joint I
(30:50):
get out. Let me get can I get dressed, get
out of the house. I'm calling the place that scared me.
My guy to that was not got Yeah, but that
was really the only time I got off. Then I
lived wonderful house on up in Beechwood. You know a
lot of great houses in la It was fabulous.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
I'm surprised people don't don't do that. Still, that's a
great movie.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
Maybe they do.
Speaker 3 (31:11):
They're called squatters.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
Now, I guess now they don't leave, but.
Speaker 3 (31:14):
I would, But you know I didn't.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
I wasn't.
Speaker 3 (31:16):
I didn't put graffiti on the walls right now, they
do that. I would even make the bed, you know,
so it doesn't look like anybody was there.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
And you still have that car.
Speaker 3 (31:24):
I still have that. Yeah, only two payments left.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
Yeah, yeah, I got You know Danica Patrick, you knew
that is yes, the race car driver. She was asked
recently on a podcast what type of engine do you have?
And she said she has no idea and they said,
well is it? And she said engine? And what in
her in a race car? And she said she was
unaware of whether it was an eight or twelve cylinder.
(31:46):
She knows that little. She knows as much as I
do about cars, yet she drives that I mean as
little as you do, as little as I do, and
she drives them in the Indy five hundred.
Speaker 3 (31:55):
Well, you know, athletes are always athletes. I remember Walter Payton,
You remember him, sure, okay. Walter Payton was not a
car guy at all. Knew nothing about but he was
a gregarious fellow and a nice guy, but a good athlete.
And we became friends with him. He said, hey, you
should do the Toyota Grand Prix with us. Oh, that'd
be fun, you know. Okay, So he comes in and
(32:16):
within one day of with the professional driver, he's matching
the track record.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (32:23):
Because he's he's an athlete. His hand eye coordination is unbelievable.
I mean that could break break breaks like break turn real. Yeah,
the shifting boom, I mean he picked it up because
he's an athlete, you know.
Speaker 1 (32:36):
But you know I also in the same podcast I
was listening to, I didn't know this. Maybe you know
this because you're a big car guy. They only use
in NASCAR, when when you know they do the whatever
the you know, the coconut five hundred of Pocono.
Speaker 3 (32:49):
Five Cocono, I don't know, Flora, that's with Carmon, Miranda Cocono,
the Coconole, the Coconole.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
They used the engine for one race, then they take
it out and send it back to you know, Toyota, or.
Speaker 3 (33:02):
They tear it down one race. Well, well they're that
hard on the engines. I mean, that's wild. That's what
it is. Again, everything is wild, but it's actually the opposite.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
It's no, it is that's wild.
Speaker 3 (33:13):
J that's good, similar to a future thing that's not wild.
But then so then he put mustard on a hamburger.
Speaker 1 (33:18):
That's wild, but it's not expensive to tear down, and
I mean.
Speaker 3 (33:23):
Yes, it's a very it's a hugely expensive part. And
drag racing they blow up everything, They completely tear the
engine out. It's it's ten twenty thousand dollars a race.
Speaker 1 (33:32):
But but but to have you know, once you're done
with the race, you know, you get if you win,
you get the milk and the flag and the check
and everything. That's just the start for your pit crew.
They got to now tear that car apart a ready
in four days?
Speaker 3 (33:44):
Yeah, yeah, we'll take them the show business.
Speaker 1 (33:45):
Yeah, that's unbelievable. Yeah, not wild, but unbelievable. Yeah. Can
you say, well us all right here? Okay, god anywhere?
All right? What's going on with the news? Conway Show
on demand on the iHeartRadio app. Now you can always
hear us live on k f I Am six forty
four to seven pm Monday through Friday, and anytime on

It's KFI AM six forty and you're listening to the

Thanksgiving because nothing says family time like hiding in your
room and listening to KFI was quickly the audience's favorite
as well. And he is back. You know him from
(00:22):
Loveline with Adam Carolla, Ladies and Gentlemen, Doctor Drew Pinski,
Doctor Drew. How you Bob, I'm good man.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Good to hear your voice, Monnie.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
I always love watching you, whether it's on Fox or CNN,
but now I'm starting to enjoy you on with Corolla.
Is that Is that a new thing I've missed for
a while where you guys do a weekly show.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
It is not a new thing that you have missed
for a while. We've been We've been doing it for
like twelve years, and people are finding it now. Okay,
so it's great, we're back. So here we are.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
How Come I haven't found it though? Before? How come?
I I'm just getting hooked up now? Why have you
buried it?
Speaker 3 (00:56):
I think.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
I don't know that it was bareared so much as
Adam has been complaining about the same stuff for twelve years,
and now it's started to be quite relevant.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Okay, but I saw the recent one where you're talking
about Thailand All, and you have the same recommendation I do.
And I'm glad that we agree on this, that when
women are pregnant they should try to take nothing.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Yes, I completely agree. I mean, the chromatin is opened.
The developmental process is extremely complex and delicate and prone
to error, and you don't want to do anything that
can contribute to that error. We here's one of the
great ironies in all of this story. One, of course,
I think people are becoming increasingly aware that the Thailand
(01:41):
All manufacturers themselves have been worried about talanh All during pregnancy.
It's gone back and forth, but they've shown to a
course of ten years, some real serious concern. They called
it a heavy concern. The other thing that's really an
irony is the American College of Physicians. I was doing
my board reviews a couple months ago, and the rheumatology
(02:01):
section there they in the course of that review, they
recommend that only one medication be considered to be continued
during pregnancy. Really for the loopus patients, this one medicine
should stay on. This medicine because it's so benign and
so inert, and that medicine is hydroxychloroquin.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Oh, you got to be kidding. The one where they
were any doctor recommended during COVID, they want to take
his license from him.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
That's the medicaid exactly, exactly, my god.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
But I've been using it for decades from our loopa's patients.
I knew there was nothing wrong with it. The fact
that pharmacists weren't allowing doctors to prescribe it. They literally
were blocking the prescribing. People's licenses are being revoked now.
It is literally more inert than pilot all per per
the American College or Physician.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
It's unbelievable. Doctor Drew Pinsk's with us. I saw something
really disturbing online and I wanted to get your opinion.
I know when Donald Trump came out and said, hey,
you know, don't take tyland all. And then you know
all the other doctors were you know, it didn't go
as far as Donald as President Trump did, but he said,
you know, I can say this, don't take it, don't
take anything, don't take Tyland all. And then I can't
(03:14):
tell you how many videos I saw the next three
or four days with women who were videotaping themselves pregnant
and popping a til and all just to stick it
to President Trump. I couldn't believe that.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
When I saw that, I thought to myself, Wow, we've
got to really get on making the Trump derangement syndrome
a diagnostic category, because now it's causing harm to others.
They literally they are willing to risk harming their babies
to stick it to Donald Trump. It's the most bizarre thing.
People will look back on this very unkindly, and it
(03:48):
makes me increasingly concerned about how casually women are taking
a development fetus inside their body. I mean, it makes
me wonder if there's sort of some the weird shift
that people have taken. Maybe it's the casualness about abortion.
I don't know what it is, but the fact that
somebody could even contemplate consciously putting a developing fetus in
(04:12):
harm's way is just phenomenal.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Doctor Drews with us. My wife is a not a hoarder,
but well, okay, she's a hoarder, but she also does
she also saves a lot of things that turn out
to be, you know, valuable in the in the future.
For instance, she kept every one of her medical records,
at every note while she was pregnant in two thousand
(04:36):
and five, and it was nice to have, nice to
go through and look at it. But in those notes,
she discovered yesterday that her doctor and she had a fever,
you know, during her pregnancy. Her doctor underline, please do
not take tylanol.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Interesting you know, they're they're a doctor, an offstrician might
elect to prescribe talanol and look all these things. The
CDC is there to make recommendations to physicians. That's it.
That's what their job is. To advise us and give
us data to keep us abreast of trends and infectious
diseases and whatnot. They are not telling you what to do.
(05:15):
They're not taking away talent all I'm giving you tilet all.
They're just saying that there's a signal. We're going to
alert doctors that that signal might suggest it it's something
you want to avoid. But guess what if the doctor
thinks it's important for you to take the title al
because the fever can risk the pregnancy too. If the
doctor believes you need it, you will be recommended to
take the damn tile at all. The fact that we're
(05:37):
even having these discussions is bizarre. This is all the
aftermath of COVID. It really is that none of this
know the press. The government never should have involved during
the pandemic. The physicians should have just done their job,
but public Health and CDC centralized authority and it became
an unbelievable disaster.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
And you made a great point when you're on with
Adam Krola in your last podcast. If you're a nineteen
year old, healthy male or female and you're not pregnant
and you have a fever, go ahead and take tylanol.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Tilanol is good.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
People got very weird about it. Also not an anti
inflammatory technically, it's an anti pyritic and anti antil jesuic.
It's a very good, very safe medicine. But it's worth remembering.
You know, I worked thirty five years on a psychiatric hospital.
The most lethal suicide gesture as I saw were with tylanol.
I saw one guy get complete and total irreversible liver
(06:35):
failure and die from eight to eight to eight thilanol
wow into fifteen to twenty in a single ingestion. We'll
do it to just about anybody. And once that takes
hold of the course of about seventy two hours. There
is no turning back. It is a fatal event.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
Oh my god. I hope people know that. I mean that,
I didn't know that. I hope that word gets out there.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Yeah, it's important toalerold, you know. And if you're an alcoholic,
tylanalk is less well tolerated. It's a patatoxic substance in
certain situations. But you're bringing up an important point here
is that we have this weird thing in this country
now where medications are supposed to make life better, make
us flourish. Pharmacology is there to intervene, so physicians can
(07:18):
intervene in disabling and life threatening illness. Period if the
risk reward, if we cannot significantly alter the course of
a dangerous condition, we should not be using pharmacology. And
there are plenty of things we use that are dangerous,
but the risk reward is there because the disease itself
is more dangerous. But this idea that medicine is going
(07:41):
to make life better, make humans flourish, we are on
the wrong course.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
Doctor Drew. Can you stay whether you're another segment or
do you got to run? I can say okay, excellent,
all right, Doctor Drew is with us. He is the
absolute best and welcome back. I want to talk to
about Charlie Kirk, also COVID, and also I had a
story to tell you about doctor Drew when he used
to come up with us on KLSX The Proof, just
to show what kind of guy he is. We're live
on KFI AM sick forty. Doctor Drew Pinsk's with us.
Speaker 4 (08:08):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty, Doc Drew.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
Before we get into COVID, I want to ask you
a personal question. I grew up.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Wait wait, wait wait wait. Before the personal question, I've
got to put a little code on a promotion we
had there for the Union Rescue Mission Andy Bales down
there is his most impactful institution downtown on homelessness. And
of course the government will acknowledge them because they're a
faith based organization. But please support them. I heard one
of your someone who's going to jump off the building
for them. Oh, you support them. They do an extraordinary job.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
Okay with it?
Speaker 2 (08:40):
What is it is?
Speaker 1 (08:41):
The what mission?
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Is it? Union Rescue Mission? It's one of the Downtown
missions and they've been there for one hundred years, and
they actually make a difference on homelessness. They actually treat them,
they don't keep them in the streets. It's just what
we're doing is exact opposite of what we should be doing.
But they do it right down there, right in the
rescue mission.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
And running risk of swearing. It's an ef and disgrace
that they're not supported just because they're bringing more religion
into in not necessarily forcing it on them, just religious,
religious based.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
It's a faith based organization, and therefore they're forbidden. So
it's ridiculous. Everything, everything at our disposal should be deployed.
Are you kidding me? It's a humanitarian crisis.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
But I want to ask you a personal question because
I basically grew up, you know, listening to you talk
about the triplets. I want to get an update. How
old are those kids now? What are they doing? I
haven't heard from them since Loveline.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
So they're in their mid thirty there. I'm at my
son's house in Irvine, babysitting his one eight month old daughter, Wow,
and again they are going to be two more. He's
an attorney and doing very well. My other son is
becoming atal health professional. And my daughter is a writer,
(10:01):
Columbia trained writer, so she has a certain point of
view Colombia make sure of. But she's very, very, very talented,
very talented.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
I can't believe they're thirty. I was going to say nineteen,
maybe twenty.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
Oh my god, sorry, my friends.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
Good for you.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
They were probably that all less time I saw.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Yeah, probably they were. Let me tell you, and again
before we get into COVID, I remember when you used
to come on with us. You know, you used to
come on our show at Kyles X and then you
drive over to do love Line. I remember on more
than one occasion somebody called they were under distress and
you could hear it in their voice, and during the
commercial break, you spent the entire commercial break talking to them,
(10:43):
giving them your your cell phone number, and really giving
you know, them great advice and really caring about them.
And I don't think people saw that side of you
as often as I did. But it's terrific, buddy.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Well, it's very kind. I mean, I look, I'm not
doing my job. What am I doing? And I still
do it to this day. I'm not doing the psychiatric stuff.
I'm not running an addiction program. I'm still doing general medicine,
and I never did I imagine all that time on
the radio would we end up here where we are now?
Speaker 1 (11:12):
This is not what we intended, right, All right, let's
talk about COVID. Do you recommend the shot? Who do
you recommend it for? What's the what's the word?
Speaker 2 (11:20):
So keep in mind, got to have a little nuanced
in your thinking everybody. Doctors need to make a risk
reward analysis for everything we do, absolutely everything. During the
darker hours of Alpha and delta, it was absolutely appropriate
to take real risk with the vaccine. It was a
miracle we had a vaccine so quickly, and in my
(11:42):
elderly patients, in particular over the age of seventy, I
think we helped them. I had only one severe vaccine reaction.
Of course, the vers report I submitted was completely ignored,
but I had one reaction and the rest people had
relatively mild COVID. Once we hit the omicron error era,
the use of the vaccine was less clear and we
(12:03):
started seeing significant side effects, particularly in younger males, where
the need for a vaccine in the days of the
variance of omicron for a young healthy person, they are
not going to be hospitalized. They're not going to die.
There's a zero probability. There's a non zero probability that
they're going to get mildcarditis, which is a very serious condition.
(12:25):
So there's that issue in the young people, the elderly.
Many of my oulderly patients still choose to get it. However,
I no longer know what we're doing. It's not clear
that it's doing anything, and the variance for which it
is specifically directed are not in this region right now,
So I don't understand quite what we're doing. But some
of my patients still choose to get.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
It all right, and then, without going in great detail,
because I know it's a very complicated question, are we
any closer to what is causing the explosion in autism?
Speaker 2 (12:56):
We're closer. I mean, obviously there was a signal or
tile and all. There was a significant issue and people
need to pay attention with that. And I know, you know,
I know Jay Abatisharia and obviously about Oz very well.
I communicate with them regularly. They feel like they're on
the trail of some interesting things. I think vaccines are
going to be implicated exactly how, it's not clear. I
(13:18):
think they rushed to that press conference a little bit.
This is my humble opinion to give some highlights, some
headline that they could hang their hat on because they
weren't quite ready on the rest of the mature yet.
It takes a long time to do this science, and
they have a commitment to do it right, and I
trust those guys to do it.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
And the big news over the last couple of weeks
was Charlie Kirk. Did you ever meet him? Do you
ever work with him?
Speaker 2 (13:41):
I did. I interviewed him a couple of times. He
was exactly as he has been portrayed. I was not
very familiar with his turning point. I just you know,
I knew kind of who he was and I interviewed him.
He's a good guy. But he has had a major impact.
And you know, I have talked to many people, including
Corolla who we're in Phoenix during the event, and they
(14:02):
said it was the memorial and they said it was
like nothing they'd ever experienced.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
Wow, I tell you the way that his death is
affecting the younger generation, it is absolutely their JFK of
this generation.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
I think so. And you know, we've gone through a period. Look,
we've been there's been a very significant narcissistic turning this country.
When you have a lot of people with narcissistic burden,
you tend to get mobs, and you tend to get scapegoating.
And we're in the midst of a big scapegoating problem,
largely brought on by the rhetoric of people calling other
people non human, fascists, hit or you fill in the blank.
(14:40):
It becomes almost if you're a patriot, it's almost your
obligation to do something. If I believe that stuff, I
feel like I should do something. True. But if you're
a narcissist, you're scapegoating. You're forming mobs. You get in
getting these social media and Reddit rooms where you're convinced
that of your sense of reality, and these things happen.
And the thing about escapegoat is they can flip into
(15:00):
a martyr, and I think that's exactly what happened with
Charlie Kirk, and he's obviously motivating a lot of spiritual
transformation that change.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
Yeah, And they've had one hundred and twenty five thousand
requests to start an on campus branch of Turning Point USA,
which I think is terrific. When I was a kid.
I think I had five or six vaccines, you know, inoculations, immunizations.
What is it now? Is it one hundred and thirty?
Speaker 2 (15:27):
It's close to one hundred. But the reality this is
back to what I was saying earlier. Look, I was
raised by an old talty practitioner, and he would never
let me take any medication ever. I remember the first
time I took an antibiotic. I was fifteen, and he
came home with some sponsors, with some samples, and he goes,
all right, here we go. I mean, the pediatrician wants
you to do. I think it's a terrible idea, but
(15:48):
go ahead, he would. He is rolling over his grave
with all of everything we do has risk everything, and
we have lost track of that. We are so enthusiastic
about our medical advances that we assume it's only going
to make a positive change. We are not contemplating what
we are doing. There's downside to every intervention, particularly pharmacology
(16:12):
and interventions that manipulate our immune system. Of course there's
going to be a downside. One more question. Need to
be sure the risk is worth it?
Speaker 1 (16:18):
One more question. I'll let you go. There's six kids
in our family growing up and I used to hate
getting shots because my arm would be on fire for
the next five days and I hated it. I couldn't
stand going to the doctor. So we went to get
our shots. It was a fall in the fall of
like I don't know, nineteen seventy one or whatever it was.
And while the nurse was giving my four brothers and
my sister a shot, I took one of those round
(16:40):
band aids and put it on my arm and she said,
did everyone? She said, did everyone get it? And I
said yeah, and I pointed to my arm. She goes, oh,
I didn't think I gave it to you. I guess
I did. I missed that vaccine or that muculation, but
I don't know what one.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
It was justin for a career radio. But but there,
but there are there are questions about the childhood vaccine
schedule and hepatitis B. I was around. My regdency director
was very involved in the research. I was there during
the research and we were interested in intervening on maternal
field maternal to baby transmission of HEBE in China. It
(17:18):
is still primarily in Asia that this exists. It's almost
only in IVY drug users and Asian immigrants that it
exists in this country. And guess what those people are
tested for hepatitis B. And that baby, if the mom
has had sepatitis B, we'll get the vaccine. Why are
we giving it to every baby in the country. It's bizarre, It's.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
Crazy, Buddy. I really appreciate you coming on. I would
love to have you, you know, on every couple of months,
and the audience really enjoys hearing your boys.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
All right, good, it's good to hear yours and I'd
love to join you.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
Thanks Ben, I appreciate it, all right, Thank us, Doctor

the Union Rescue Mission. We are supporting them with Neil
Sevedra and Amy King jumping off a building and scaling.

Universal Studios. So if you can support them doing that,
that would be great. Are We've got some breaking news here.

They came to America. Okay, my grandfather was born in

(19:45):
Six months later, Jay the mayor from what the mayor

of fand he goes he's Eleno and the mayor of
FROMI with your grandfather. One nice to meet, you say,
because listen, we want to build a statue of you
(20:06):
and your grandfather to put in a town square. I said,
you know, I'm not really a statue. No, no, you
tomorrow is from humble beginnings. Your grandfather, his grandson becomes
a huge starter to our village. You would mean so
much to have the statue of you and your grandfather
in our town square. He says, will you give a famish?
I said, well, all right, yes, thank you. He goes, yes,
(20:29):
good now the basic statue is the seventy five thousand dollars.
If you want to be on the hill looking down,
it's you know, I said, I don't really know. I
believe that. I mean, somebody has to pay for it.
I know, I understand, I said, I appreciate it. It
couldn't be the most Italian thing. Oh yeah, oh yeah,
(20:52):
just hilarious.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
God wait, your grandfather was born before the Civil War,
before the Civil War. Oh that is.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
Nineteen fifty seven.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
Yeah, he's almost one hundred years out of time.
Speaker 3 (21:04):
My dad was born in nineteen ten.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
Wow, you know what that's that's great genes. You're gonna
be around a long time.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
Well, we'll see.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
You know, I was talking about you know, you had
a great line we were talking about during the commercial break.
If you you know a lot of people have these
catalytic converters stolen off their car. And if you take
it off your own car, well, this is what it's
a problem.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
It's a federal offense because it's a government mandate. You know,
So you take catileca, it's a ten thousand dollars fine
to mess with the emission system on your car.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
Ten thousand dollars fine, if you do it.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
If you do it, yes, but if your catalytic converter
is stolen by a thief, it's a misdemeanor. So you
would actually what you used to do is hire a
thief to take your cadle converter off right?
Speaker 1 (21:52):
And what do they get the guy that steals the
catalytic converter, they're three thousand dollars to replace you.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
Like, you know, I had a friend of mine. You
just needed all these CD people when you're in show business.
And this guy used to steal cars and he would say,
what do you think you get for Stone Mercedes something
a thousand, ten thousand, no, seventy five bucks?
Speaker 2 (22:09):
What? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (22:10):
And he said I had to steal two or three
a night to make enough money, you know. And then
they sell it to a shop shop and he sells
it for and they tell every piece of the car's
gone you And that's that's what it is. That's what
it is.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
It's hard to sell nowadays because they're all numbers, yeah, and.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
Catalytic converter is also it's illegal to sell them, so
he got to sell them to someone who knows he's buying.
So he's committing a crime by buying it from you,
so he's not going to pay you anything for it. Yeah, yeah,
it's it's a terrible thing.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
But you know, up until recently, fire engines didn't have
the Cadillac converse. Now they all do. What's the what's
the advantage of not having Well.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
In the old days, when emissions was not as computer
oriented as is now, and they couldn't regulate it quite
as well, if you took the catalytic converter off your car,
your engine ran better because it ran a little cooler,
you know, didn't have to be quite so lean, so
he got better mileage and more power.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (23:03):
Fire engines have to perform at a certain standard, so
they were exempt for years until they came up with
modern more mind modern fire engines, the more up to
date equipment, you know. So now now they all have CATLLAC,
even motorcycles.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
Do.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
Is your garage in la or in the valley? It's
in Burbank Burbank Airport. Yeah I knew the airport, okay, right?
Do you have somebody maintained for you and somebody keeps
it clean?
Speaker 3 (23:27):
Well, I have people who work there. I keep it clean.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
You know you're there? Are you there every day. I'm
there every day. Yeah, really, Yeah, it's my Malibu beach.
I heard you never sell one of those cars, you
only give them away.
Speaker 3 (23:36):
Well, no, no, I don't like the selling. No, I
like I like all my I have all my.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
Cas is, the whole garage and everything expensive to ensure
it's gotta be h Yeah, like hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Speaker 3 (23:47):
Yeah, that's probably correct.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
Yeah, but that's fair to say you never sell a car.
No not, I just like you ever buy him anymore. Yeah,
you're still buying cars, you know something.
Speaker 3 (23:57):
I watch horders and go. I don't see the problem.
I mean there's still a path to the bedroom. Look,
you can get the guy can get into the bathroom.
Look you just go around to the thing, you know. Yeah, No,
I don't know if you have electric cars. I do
have an electric. I got a nineteen oh nine Baker Electric.
I got a nineteen Detroit electric. They had electric before
you had gas. In fact, in the year nineteen oh
(24:19):
seven eight nine, a third of the cars were steam,
a third were electric, and a third were gas. And
there was a battle which one was going to win.
And we're kind of going through that now. I think
the next big player is going to be hydrogen. That'll
be the next one to come.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
I didn't know this until recently. I was watching YouTube
or TikTok where I go my information from. But the
Brownstones in Manhattan were built up three or four feet
and you had stairs because when they were built, the
streets were all filled with horse crap, right, that's right,
and people were tired of that.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
That's where there were dashboard comes. Dash was another word
for manure. Oh, so they would put a board in front,
so when the horses kicked up manure, it would hit
the board, it would hit the dash board.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
Yea, yeah.
Speaker 3 (25:01):
So then then then cars came in, and then he
had an engine in front. Now the dashboard obviously just
holds the gauges.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
But right, and as you said, I think last time
you're on there was it was a great trade off
from you know, the horses filled with uh, you know,
horse crap and the alternative was a puff of blue smoke.
Speaker 3 (25:17):
That's right. I mean that seemed like, oh, this is
so much better than having six tons of manure in
your sixty tons of manure every day in New York City.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
Do you remember your dad probably did this, maybe your
your grandfather. My grandfather used to do this in Cleveland
when he would go to change the oil in his car.
He'd put two tires up on the curb and then
undo the this, you know, the screw there, this, you know,
the speaker or whatever holds the oil, and then the
oil goes right into the gutter.
Speaker 3 (25:42):
Yeah, yeah, goes back to the earth where it came from.
Speaker 5 (25:44):
That's it.
Speaker 3 (25:45):
Yeah, yeah, that it goes right back. That's the beauty
of it.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
Goes back to the earth.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
Do you see it some recycling?
Speaker 2 (25:50):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (25:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
All right, Jay, thank you you guy, thank you to
having me on John Rose.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
All right, thank you. So I really appreciate you.
Speaker 4 (25:57):
You're listening to Tim Conwayjun you're ondo from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
Stuff your face, loosen the pants and kick back with
stuff we did over the last year or so. Jay
Leno's with us. Jay, what would you do with one
thousand dollars? Thousand dollars dollars? First of all, I would
get it.
Speaker 3 (26:19):
I would get ten dollars a year for well you
take this, yeah, maybe years to pay out. I do
the payoff because you get all the one, So you're
gonna go crazy.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
So yeah, that's what right do you buy lottery tickets?
Speaker 3 (26:31):
No, I that's the stupidest thing as idiots buy lottery.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
I remember, Jay, it was Adam Caroll who was talking
about a woman who went into a seven to eleven
in a wheelchair oxygen tanks and she's rolling in. She
was give me a super Lotto ticket and he's like, what,
how could that possibly improve your life? It's almost over,
you know, and she's rooting for four hundred million dollars.
Speaker 5 (26:51):
She's hoping for a late ending rally on our life.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
You know, when you were here when the John and
Ken Show was still the John and Ken Show. I
remember you came on. You're on for a half hour,
very funny, and I think it was still during the
Tonight Show days. And then you left in a steam
car and they were complaining probably yeah, my.
Speaker 3 (27:09):
First of all, a steam car runs on water, water, vapor, okay,
so because and it's a cold day, so plumes of steam.
He goes lotos.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
Let those cars polluting. He's just polluting everywhere, just butt.
Speaker 3 (27:21):
He knocksious gases and you know, we got to do
whatever that shouldn't be allowed. I'm just going, hey, I
was just on your show, it's a steam car. It's
a steam car.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
Corolla. You know you're good friends with yes, don't he?
He has another funny line. He said that in two
hundred years from now, somebody, some kid in eighth grade
will do a paper on Jay Leno, and Jay Leno
died in you know, in twenty seventy two in a
steam car accident. You'll get a fail on it, you know,
because steam cars went out two hundred years before that.
Speaker 5 (27:54):
That's right, that's coret Is. Corona's got a garage kind
of like yours, does he hear?
Speaker 3 (27:58):
Yeah, he likes cars. He likes mostly race cars.
Speaker 5 (28:01):
So so in the in terms of your garage and
hit your garage, it seems like, and this I get
from your shows and watching YouTube, like you like these
various stories that go with the car. You know you
you sort of like cars that have a history.
Speaker 3 (28:15):
Yeah, because I have a funny story.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
Yeah, Yeah, he likes race cars.
Speaker 3 (28:18):
I like cars.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
What's the most valuable one you have?
Speaker 3 (28:21):
Well it's probably McLaren F one because that's a very
valuable car.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
But what's the most sentimental one?
Speaker 3 (28:27):
Well, my fifty five bu Wick that was the first
guy I bought. When it came to car. You know,
I flew out here to California. You know, I was
sitting at my apartment in Boston, and I was like,
and my friends. I had friends that were wanted to
be comedians, just singers, but they're working as weight as
their waitresses, and then they couldn't go to auditions because
they had to work. And I didn't want to be
(28:48):
in that position. I wanted to make my living as
a comedian if I could. I said, you know something,
I just kind of got a plane to go to California.
So I call the airline flight whatever it is, Okay,
I got it, Okay, I landed al I only get
I need a car. Was so I see the Penny Savers.
I go to the Pennies everything. Oh, it's a fifty
five uer. I see the where's Winchester. It's about three
(29:10):
well three months, okay, So I call the guy that
car Stifficil. Yeah, is cab take me this address in Winchester.
I get there. It looked okay, and I thought, well,
if I don't buy it, I got to take a
cab back to the airport and then take a cab
to I.
Speaker 4 (29:23):
Don't know what.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
I don't know anybody here.
Speaker 3 (29:26):
So I didn't buy it. So you know, I was like,
how much is three fifty? I'll give you a three
forty ride? Okay, you know, not really, I was not
really a good day. So okay, I got the car
and it was a big car, so I could live
in the car.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
So I did.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
That's live?
Speaker 1 (29:40):
Is that right?
Speaker 2 (29:40):
For?
Speaker 1 (29:40):
How long?
Speaker 2 (29:42):
For?
Speaker 1 (29:42):
Why not?
Speaker 2 (29:43):
Still?
Speaker 3 (29:43):
Well, you know what I would do and people find
this doesn't seem unusual to me. I would search the
paper for open houses. So I go to open house
and he like Sunday noon to four. So I get
there at three thirty and I look around. This is
very nice, and then I'd say, okay, thank you, thank
you very much. Okay. I'd shut the door and then
(30:03):
I go in like the hall closet, and I'd just
stand there and I'd wait maybe forty five minutes an hour,
and the real two would leave and I'd live in
the house for two three days.
Speaker 1 (30:12):
Oh that's cool. Have you ever talked about that. I've
never heard of. I've never know my story.
Speaker 3 (30:18):
I have once in a while, and it was because
in those days, houses didn't this is the seventies.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
Houses didn't have alarms.
Speaker 3 (30:24):
And I didn't. I didn't steal anything or I didn't
you know.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
You're just looking for a warm Yeah.
Speaker 3 (30:28):
One day, one day I was there's a house on
cold Water Canyon. Oh it's a nice house, you know.
And then I belonged to one of the beach boys.
We don't know which one, but he was selling it.
So I got something in the house, same thing. And
I'm sleeping and I hear the next room here was
the master bedroom, and the wife walks in there and goes, oh,
there's someone in the bed. There's no one living here,
there's someone in that bed. Then the real joint I
(30:50):
get out. Let me get can I get dressed, get
out of the house. I'm calling the place that scared me.
My guy to that was not got Yeah, but that
was really the only time I got off. Then I
lived wonderful house on up in Beechwood. You know a
lot of great houses in la It was fabulous.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
I'm surprised people don't don't do that. Still, that's a
great movie.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
Maybe they do.
Speaker 3 (31:11):
They're called squatters.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
Now, I guess now they don't leave, but.
Speaker 3 (31:14):
I would, But you know I didn't.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
I wasn't.
Speaker 3 (31:16):
I didn't put graffiti on the walls right now, they
do that. I would even make the bed, you know,
so it doesn't look like anybody was there.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
And you still have that car.
Speaker 3 (31:24):
I still have that. Yeah, only two payments left.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
Yeah, yeah, I got You know Danica Patrick, you knew
that is yes, the race car driver. She was asked
recently on a podcast what type of engine do you have?
And she said she has no idea and they said,
well is it? And she said engine? And what in
her in a race car? And she said she was
unaware of whether it was an eight or twelve cylinder.
(31:46):
She knows that little. She knows as much as I
do about cars, yet she drives that I mean as
little as you do, as little as I do, and
she drives them in the Indy five hundred.
Speaker 3 (31:55):
Well, you know, athletes are always athletes. I remember Walter Payton,
You remember him, sure, okay. Walter Payton was not a
car guy at all. Knew nothing about but he was
a gregarious fellow and a nice guy, but a good athlete.
And we became friends with him. He said, hey, you
