From Corolla One Studios in Glendale, California, this is The Adam Carolla Show. Adam's guest today, Drea de Matteo.
Plus the news with Andrew Hobson, and now, Adam Carolla.
**Adam Carolla** (0:27)
Yeah, get it on, got to get on the church again on Monday. Get it on. Thanks for tuning in, thanks for telling friends. Now, Dawson, you said Drea, but it's Drea, right?
**Drea de Matteo** (0:37)
I was actually impressed that someone said it right.
**Adam Carolla** (0:40)
Drea.
**Drea de Matteo** (0:40)
I couldn't believe someone said Drea, like Dr. Drea.
**Adam Carolla** (0:44)
It was Drea, and then 10 seconds before the show started, Andrew walked up to me and went, Drea, Drea, Drea. And I went, oh, okay.
**Drea de Matteo** (0:53)
Well, it's Andrea is my real name, so if I'm in trouble with my parents.
**Adam Carolla** (0:57)
Oh, but we go with Drea.
**Drea de Matteo** (0:58)
The people call me Drea if they really know me, so I liked hearing Drea.
**Adam Carolla** (1:02)
All right, so it's Drea. Drea and I were speaking off the air about the teenagers and the kids these days. You got one of them driving, you got boy girl, I got boy girl twins, just turned 20, so I'm kind of just turned 20, so I'm right in there with you.
I tell a joke, but I really mean it. I go, people ask, what's it like raising the boy girl twins? I go, raising the girls like raising three kids, and raising the boys like raising one old cat. My dude is super mellow, super easy, and super whatever.
**Drea de Matteo** (1:37)
Is he older?
**Adam Carolla** (1:39)
Twins.
**Drea de Matteo** (1:40)
Oh, the boy.
**Adam Carolla** (1:40)
Boy girl twins.
**Drea de Matteo** (1:42)
Oh, boy girl twins. Okay, I thought you were saying two girls.
**Adam Carolla** (1:44)
Sorry, boy girl twins, same age. She's a handful.
**Drea de Matteo** (1:48)
Yeah.
**Adam Carolla** (1:49)
And he's easy. Now, it can go the other way, but I do think girls are tougher these days.
**Drea de Matteo** (1:56)
See, I have a, it might be the generation, because right now, boys that are 15, Mm-hmm. Man, I mean, I can't believe the level of drama my son comes home with.
**Adam Carolla** (2:07)
Son's got drama.
**Drea de Matteo** (2:08)
Yeah, the boys put him through hell.
**Adam Carolla** (2:11)
Really?
**Drea de Matteo** (2:11)
I think that generation is different. My daughter, 18, it was a way calmer environment. Something happened.
**Adam Carolla** (2:19)
Is, you know, I hear about this all the time. I have to think I'm an old guy, but this constant bombardment of like men, white men, the problem is the patriarchy and the problem, all roads.
**Drea de Matteo** (2:31)
It's my favorite.
**Adam Carolla** (2:32)
Every road leads to, by the way, all roads lead to white men, except for we build all the fucking roads, bitches. Who do you think built the fucking roads and the bridges, white dudes? And now all of them lead to us being horrible, horrible people.
**Drea de Matteo** (2:47)
You can have that talk with me.
**Adam Carolla** (2:48)
We had every, we created slavery.
Every war was started by us. Everything that's bad was built by white men, except for we built everything as well that you bitches use. But anyway, I'm old and I'm old enough to go fuck off, but your son is right in the middle of that, right? I mean, how does that work, especially out in LA?
**Drea de Matteo** (3:14)
It's funny. You know, it's, it's a weird thing.
There's a balance. You have to walk with these kids with the new way things are being formulated and the new society. I think that what happened during the Biden administration, it made the boys that were real boys pissed off. It made them more pissed off. So it's kind of like you have to pull them back a little bit from being too angry. I mean, they're on these video games, they're screaming, fuck you, all day long. It is crazy sad.
**Adam Carolla** (3:49)
Well, you are weaponizing young dudes, a percentage. So look, by the way, just so people know, Sopranos, five seasons, six seasons?
**Drea de Matteo** (4:03)
I was on five.
**Adam Carolla** (4:04)
Five season before they killed you. Anyway, everyone loves the Sopranos.
**Drea de Matteo** (4:09)
It's all the 15 year olds are watching it now.
**Adam Carolla** (4:11)
Are they?
**Drea de Matteo** (4:12)
