And I am the judge. In order for you to say, if I were to say, Dr. Drew, you are very good at this. And by the way, can I say something professionally? Because I've been doing talk radio since like the 80s. Your spot load is fantastic. You can cram more commercials into a show than anybody. I am so in awe of you. You can do commercials within commercials. You're like Paul Harvey used to do.

Did you ever hear Paul Harvey? You would think it's a story. It's a commercial. He goes, and I turned to Angel. I said, there's my Buick. I said, God damn it, it's a commercial. Anyway, you're fantastic at that. No, I mean it. And people believe you. See, you have this thing where you can say, and where does this come from? From seagull species. But Lionel, to be honest,

Oh, no. Are you kidding me? I love it. I love it. In fact, what you do is you thoroughly check it. Make sure they're done and Bradstreet rated. Make sure the check's clear. Make sure they don't skip out. Or you check them, all right. And you should. Listen. Listen. You're not, you know, I used to have on my business cards. I'm not a missionary.

Let me tell you, I had, I had, I love, have you ever done a spot where you didn't know what it was? Remember, I've done talk, right? They handed stuff to me. I didn't even know what it was. There was a commercial years ago called Collage. And it was, I think, it was a meditation series of CDs and music where you would play. I think that's what it was. And it had a mask.

One of those, you know, Arlene Francis kind of like, look, I used to call it the Polish Lone Ranger. You know, there's no eyes. Anyway, you wear the mask. That's a Polish joke. I'm sorry, please. It's from our generation, Drew. It's when we could joke around. Remember Mad Magazine and National Lampoon? Anyway, so I did this spot. And I say, can I do whatever I want? He goes, yes.

And I said, when you come home at night and you're feeling bad, you put on collage. Anyway, I didn't even know what it was. Do you know they sold out? They kept upping the schedule. They said, keep doing it. I said, what is it? I don't even know what it is. But I was selling it out. There was a Barnes & Noble. And I didn't know what it was. That's how good I was. So let me tell you something.

I would say that because. I'm Dr. Drew. I don't know what the hell this is. I've never used it. But listen, if you want to take a chance, that's selling it. But listen, aside from that, what you're doing right now is so important and so critical. Because the thing, remember what you're doing. You're their friend. It's not about what you say. They know you. And you know what else is good about you?

Can I say something? As a professional, the balance. I'm not sure. I love the balance. You bring your crew into it, the laughing. A lot of these jerk-offs in the business don't want anybody, you know, horning in on my time. I like it. It's fun. Because the bottom line is people have to like you. And if they like you, that's the most important part.
