Oh, yeah.

So now is definitely not the time to take drugs.

I'm not saying you should have ever taken them, but if you lived in Miami in 1975, and you're sniffing cocaine, you're sniffing cocaine.

If you live in Miami in 2026, and you're sniffing cocaine, you may well get a dose of fentanyl that stops your heart.

So now is certainly the time to be more anti-drug than ever before.

But I feel like at least when I grew up, there was this...

there was this illusion that they sold to kids, this pretend idea that cool people don't do drugs.

But if you listen to modern music, if you watch modern movies, I mean, most modern music, they literally talk about taking all of the drugs you shouldn't do all the time.

And kids are listening to this from age five, six, seven.

So where is the anti-drug messaging if it's not coming from people like you and people like me who have been gifted a very large platform?

I don't do it in a way that

I'm going to tell him, if I see a man my own age and he says, I like to take cocaine, I'm going to be like, cool, good for you, bro.

I won't hang out with him because I don't hang out with drug users, but I'm not going to try to correct his behavior.

I don't necessarily care, but I understand that with the platform I have, millions of young men, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 are watching what I say.

So the best I can do with my platform is say, don't, you know, stay away from this crap.

So I'm happy you're on the same page, and I commend you for what you do.

So I actually used to drink a lot more when I was younger.

I think the problem with alcohol is to have a one—

person to have a universal policy on it is very difficult because it affects people in very different ways.

I had a guy who used to work for me.
